Chapter 20 Gains and Losses
The brown sugar was obviously put in by Han Qianyu and Xiao Lingzi, why did Liu Zhangshan take it by mistake and Xia He took it by mistake at this time? The reason for all this must be Leng Xiangxue and Bao Ling.
It turned out that the two of them had already been bought by Han Qianyu, and the record of Xia He's arrival at the imperial dining room to receive white sugar on September 29 was tampered with to receive brown sugar on September 30, and Liu Zhangshan, who was so busy that he was dizzy, naturally would not notice these details; In addition, Baoling committed perjury, and Xia He died without proof, so in the end, all the blame was naturally borne by Liu Zhangshan alone. And Han Qianyu moved to the palace on September 29, and Xia He mistakenly received brown sugar after Han Qianyu moved, so this matter has nothing to do with her at all.
"Bold minion, you can do things so confused! Do you know that because of your carelessness, Concubine Wen lost her dragon fetus, and now she is still unconscious! This palace doesn't need to do this palm meal for you, so you can be punished to serve in the Punishment Division! Feng Wu felt that such a punishment was reasonable.
But Duan Yulin obviously felt that it was not enough, and spoke: "Give me death!" Such a confused minion keeps her, and she may not know whose life she will want in the future, so she will deal with it as soon as possible! And this palace maid ......" Duan Yulin pointed to Baoling and said: "Although you are not in her position and do not seek her own politics, but you don't remind someone if you see someone taking something that should not be taken, you are also responsible, and you will be demoted to a second-class palace maid and sentenced to serve in the Criminal Division for three months!" After that, accompanied by Liu Zhangshan's crying and begging for mercy and Baoling's apology and acceptance of punishment, the two were dragged out by four eunuchs.
"You, take over the position of the head of the dining room in the future, if there is such a mistake in the future, I will ask the entire imperial dining room!" Duan Yulin pointed to Leng Xiangxue and announced, Leng Xiangxue kowtowed again and again to thank her.
Then he looked in the direction of Concubine Wen's bedroom, and said to Feng Wu: "Give Concubine Wen the name 'Chun' to comfort her pain of losing her child, and I will come to see her when she wakes up." Return to the palace. After speaking, he didn't wait for the concubines to send him off, and he threw up his sleeves and left.
In this conspiracy, there are people who gain and others who lose. But those who gain will not be satisfied, and those who lose will not give up, so such a conspiracy will continue endlessly.
This year's autumn is obviously an eventful autumn, from Concubine Wen being pregnant to Yu Guiren being pregnant and promoted to the rank of Yu Concubine; From the relocation of Yu Concubine to the miscarriage of Wen Concubine, she was awarded the word "Chun"; from the death of King Yong to the birthday of the sixth prince; Even Jiang Lianhuan was promoted to the position of concubine on her October birthday. In this way, the time quietly entered November.
Except for Wen Hao's miscarriage, the rest of the piles made Fang Huanshan feel unhappy! In addition to the original Ru Concubine, Yun Concubine and Yu Concubine who entered the palace two years ago and is now promoted, there are two rookies in this year alone who are on an equal footing with Fang Huanshan, especially Jiang Lianhuan, who has always been at odds with her, how can she not be angry?
Of course, her immediate priority now is to get pregnant with the dragon seed as soon as possible. Recently, the emperor's entry into the harem has increased significantly, and it has become a trend of rain and dew, not only has he summoned a few Baolin and Cai Nu who have not been favored so far, but even Su Gui and Meng Cairen, who have only been fortunate once, have also shared the rain and dew, if Fang Huanshan doesn't hurry up and is preempted by a group of cheap people to conceive the dragon seed, then she will die of scare!
"Huanyue! Huanyue! Take my fetal pills! "Fang Yushan's rain and dew are not small, but it's a pity that her stomach is not angry.
"Little master, the fetal medicine was drunk yesterday, and the slave and maid will go to the Tai Hospital to arrest it." Fang Yushan's temper became more and more difficult to serve, and Huan Yue didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
"Go, go, go! After drinking the medicine, I don't know that I have replenished it in advance, and I am getting more and more lazy! Seeing Huan Yue run out of the smoke, Fang Huanshan stopped talking.
Huanyue came to the Tai Hospital, and happened to meet Mu Mei, the palace maid in charge of Concubine Xian's palace, and Shen Xiaoxiang's personal maid Binghe, who were also there, so Huanyue stepped forward to greet: "The two sisters are also there, but Concubine Xian and Concubine Xiang are in good health?" ”
"Oh, no, I'm here to get medicine for eye diseases for the six princes." Mu Mei's identity is different from that of ordinary palace maids, so naturally she has no time to greet Huanyue, so she only nodded slightly to Huanyue and Binghe and left the Tai Hospital.
"It's such a big shelf, the chief maid in the palace of the four concubines is different, very noble! How can we be like grass and mustard? Binghe took it and looked at Huan Yue who was also holding the same fetal pill as herself, smiled knowingly, and the two left the hospital together, chatting as they walked.
"My sister just said that Mu Mei is noble, but my sister is not bad, the status of the Hunan noble concubine is precious, and my sister is not cheap to follow the noble concubine." Huanyue complimented the ice lotus.
"My sister's mouth is sweet! It's a pity that you see, no matter how favored our master is, doesn't he have to suffer this every day without a child? Binghe shook the fetal pill in his hand, and Huan Yue nodded in agreement, even if there is a congenitally deficient child like the sixth prince, it is good.
The two chatted and talked about the recent situation of the harem, Binghe sighed: "It's still the young little masters who are liked by the emperor, I think the emperor has been the most diligent in your Ming Cuixuan recently." ”
"Didn't the emperor stay in the Yilan Palace recently?" Huanyue pretended to be confused.
"Alas, the emperor came to our Yilan Palace, but it was the side hall of Su Guiren who stayed overnight. By the way, I don't know if you have heard, there are rumors that the emperor may want the position of a nobleman in Jinsu, at least he will be given a title. After Binghe finished speaking, he secretly observed Huanyue's expression, and saw that Huanyue's eyebrows were quite embarrassed, probably because he was afraid that Fang Huanshan would be angry with them when he heard it.
Binghe pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "I'm patronizing and chatting with you, I'm almost there, I'm going to leave from here." "To return to Yilan Palace, you have to go east from the intersection in front of you, and Ming Cuixuan has to go straight, so Huanyue and Binghe are separated.
As soon as Huanyue returned to Ming Cuixuan, he heard the voice of reprimanding his subordinates in the dormitory, Huanyue pushed the door and went in, and sure enough, he saw Fang Huanshan scolding a few palace maids and eunuchs, and when he saw Huanyue coming back, he loudly reprimanded a few subordinates, and there were words in his mouth: "This group of cheap slaves, they dare to be slippery and lazy if they don't teach them for a few days!" He turned his head to look at Huan Yue, and said angrily: "Why have you been there for so long?" Fetal medicine sent to the small kitchen to boil? ”
"Delivered. The reason why the slave came back late was because she met Binghe, the maid of the Hunan noble concubine, in the Tai Hospital, so they chatted for a while while walking. ”
"What are you talking to her about? Xiang Guifei has long been unfavored, and with my current grace, it is only a matter of time before I am promoted to the rank of noble concubine. It's Su Lianyi's...... Did Binghe tell you anything about Su Lianyi? Fang Yushan looked at Huan Yue sharply.
"This ......" Huanyue was a little hesitant to tell Fang Huanshan the rumor that Binghe told her, seeing that she was hesitant, Fang Huanshan glared at her, and she hurriedly reported it truthfully. After listening to Huanyue's retelling, Fang Huanshan was even more angry, and scolded hatefully: "What a Su Lianyi! Do you still want to climb on my head? Giving a number? Seal the concubine? She dreams! While scolding, he tore the handkerchief in his hand fiercely, obviously taking the handkerchief for Su Lianyi himself.
The rumor that the emperor wants to promote Su Lianyi is not groundless, although Duan Yulin has no intention of giving Su Lianyi another promotion, but he really wants to give her a title first, but he doesn't know what kind of title is appropriate.
On this day, Duan Yulin finished handling government affairs and painted in his Zhaoyang Palace, and it happened that Shen Xiaoxiang and Yun Shu came to Zhaoyang Hall to send snacks to the emperor, and Duan Yulin announced that they came in.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." The two greeted each other together, and Duan Yulin allowed them to sit flat and gave them a seat.
"Why do you two have time to come and say hello today?" Duan Yulin put down the paintbrush in his hand and motioned for Fang Da to serve tea, while Binghe and Yuzhu also put the dim sum brought by their respective little masters on the coffee table, and then retreated to the door to guard.
The emperor laughed, the concubine and Sister Yun had nothing to do all day, and they couldn't be idle anymore. If it weren't for the fear of disturbing Your Majesty, the concubine would not be able to come to Zhaoyang Hall every day to greet Your Majesty! The implication is that she and Concubine Yun have not been favored for a long time, so naturally there is time. Yun Shu only hid his face and smiled when he heard Shen Xiaoxiang's words, and Duan Yulin also smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Come and see, how is this painting of mine going?" Duan Yulin pointed to the sketches spread out on the table, and Shen Xiaoxiang and Yun Shu came over to taste them. The painting depicts the autumn maple leaves red, and a graceful girl under the maple tree is slim, but the girl's facial features have not yet been painted, and it is impossible to see who it is.
"Your Majesty's wonderful pen Danqing, look at this maple leaf painting, it is the same as the real thing! There is also this slim beauty, although she has no facial features, but the delicate posture of looking forward to life is vivid. It's just that I don't know which beautiful woman Your Majesty is drawing? Shen Xiaoxiang commented on the scroll, and said the first thing.
"Sister Shen was born in a scholarly family, and she has a lot of insight into pen and ink Danqing, and her concubines are dull and dare not comment on it. Merely...... The maple concubine in this background looked familiar, didn't Sister Shen find it? Sister Shen should be more familiar than her sister. Yun Shu reminded Shen Xiaoxiang, but he didn't say anything. Shen Xiaoxiang looked at those maple trees after her reminder, and they were really familiar, and then took a closer look, aren't these the maple trees planted in the northwest corner of the backyard of Yilan Palace! The backyard is the activity area of the palace people, and the masters rarely go there.
"This ...... It turns out that His Majesty painted Su Guiren! Su Guiren is really a blessing. Shen Xiaoxiang smiled awkwardly.
"Her blessings are more than that, I am planning to choose a title for Su Gui. Think about it, what word should I choose? Duan Yulin looked at his unfinished painting and smiled noncommittally.
"Su Guiren is really blessed, but when it comes to this blessing, it is also the blessing of Hunan Guifei. Su Guiren's Yilan Palace, where he lived in his sister, rose step by step, and even the portrait of His Majesty was just like his sister back then. The concubine still remembered that her sister was so happy when she got the portrait that she improvised a poem on the painting. ”
Yun Shu's story was recalled, which provoked Shen Xiaoxiang to recall that period of the past, and involuntarily read out the poem: "The green water ripples around the gardenia, and the mountains are infiltrated with new scrolls." The rain fell and Shu Jiaoxu, and the Yiren stood idly next to the small building. ”
