Bao Ting was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak again, several servants of the Cheng'en Mansion pushed him out of the living room without saying anything. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The servants of the Bao Ting, who were waiting outside the hall, didn't know what was going on, and when they saw the master pushing him out, they were all stunned, and before they could react, they were also driven out by the servants of the Cheng'en Mansion.
Four sturdy servants of the Cheng'en Mansion set up the treasure court, carried him to the gate, and threw him in the middle of the street under the stunned gaze of passers-by.
Bao Ting's body flew flat, and with a "bang", he fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust, causing the surrounding people to exclaim.
Bao Ting's eyes were blackened, and he almost didn't turn his back in one breath, and he struggled to get up, but his body refused to obey, until several servants came to him, and then helped him up.
Bao Ting was about to scold, but suddenly found that there was a crowd of onlookers around him, and everyone looked at him with amazement, so he couldn't help but close his mouth.
An unprecedented sense of humiliation hit his heart, and Bao Ting looked at the door of the Cheng'en Mansion, which was already closed, and his internal organs were like a fire for a while.
As a clan, in his life, only today's encounter is the most unforgettable for him.
Bao Ting wanted to scold Chongqi, but when the words came to his mouth, they finally turned into a sneer.
"I don't know as much as you do! We'll see! Bao Tingqiang held back the pain all over his body, and got up with a sneer under the support of the servant, "Today's matter, I will repay it!" β
After saying this cruel sentence, Bao Ting was helped by the servant to get on the sedan chair, probably the servant's hand touched the sore spot of his fall, and as soon as he entered the sedan chair, he let out a low groan of pain, which caused a low laugh from the onlookers.
Bao Ting returned home and first asked Lang Zhong to come and check on his injuries, Lang Zhong carefully examined him, and only after being told that there were only some minor bruises, Bao Ting was relieved.
After taking a pair of medicines prescribed by Lang Zhong, Bao Ting couldn't wait to come to the study and began to prepare the draft.
At about the same time, in the Chengen Mansion, Chongqi, who was full of anger, was also writing a manuscript.
Yuanmingyuan, heaven and earth are a spring, lotus rhyme.
At this time, it is the lotus full pond, there are a few flowers have opened, most of them are still budding to be released, the lotus leaves are more lovely, the green lotus leaves stand in the water, and some lotus leaves have crystal water droplets rolling. The eyes are full of blue, and in the distance it seems to be connected with the sky. The color of the lotus leaf is so beautiful, the near is turquoise and green, the farther is dark green, and there are some new leaves with a little tender yellow in the middle, the breeze blows, the lotus leaves roll, just like the ocean of lotus leaves. The lotus leaves of Tiantian, layer by layer with the wind, under the backdrop of the lotus leaves, the lotus flowers stand in a variety of postures, standing with a smile, and are shy; Tender stamens condensation, full of dripping, fragrant, refreshing! Some of the petals were all unfolded, revealing small yellow lotus flowers; Some have only opened two or three petals, like pseudo-shy girls who dare to show their faces. Some are still buds, like a pair of hands tightly together. Some petals have withered, fallen, floating on the water, lotus flowers exude a fresh and elegant fragrance, attracting colorful butterflies to fly, frolicking in the meantime, pleasing to the eye. At this time, it is after the rain, and the sunlight is projected on the surface of the pool, reflecting the overlapping waves, like unfolding a colorful ink painting. The lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond look like countless sails on the blue waves from a distance, which is very beautiful. The lotus flowers in the pond are green and beautiful. A few lively little fish swam past the lotus leaves, for fear of breaking the quiet picture. The dragonfly flew over, as if to tell the joy of early morning flight. The little fish swam slowly, as if telling the good dreams of last night. And the lovely little rain and dew are like the stars in the blue sky, and like the pearls in the blue sea. The lotus flowers in the water are so beautiful and moving, the purple is elegant and romantic, the yellow is warm and elegant, the pink is lively and lovely, and the white is pure and flawless, making the scenery of Lotus Yunzhai like a fairyland.
And it is this fairyland-like place, which is the place where Queen Arut rests and rests in her baby.
"Jing'er, hand the silk thread here."
Behind the staggered threads, is Concubine Huifu Cha? Lan Xuan's beautiful face.
The five-colored silk threads of gold and silver slid through her white and tender fingers, and shimmered with dazzling brilliance on the plain white sleeves, as if to reflect this scorching bright color into the pupils, and the owner of the pupils, the beautiful and dignified Queen Arut, looked at the baby brocade quilt in front of her, and seemed to be attracted by the exquisite dragon and phoenix lotus patterns on it.
"My sister is really good at crafting...... My sister is ashamed of herself, and she is not as good as ...... "Arut? Bao Yin said softly.
"Sister, don't say that, shame my sister." Concubine Hui smiled, her eyes fell on the queen's bulging abdomen, "My sister has seen those silk handkerchiefs embroidered by my sister, but they are not comparable to my sister's stupid kung fu." This time, my sister made a fool of herself in front of her sister, but she just wanted to show some kindness. β
"These days, thanks to my sister being with me, otherwise, I really don't know how to live these days......," Queen Arut whispered, shedding tears.
When Concubine Hui saw the queen crying, she knew that she remembered her husband Emperor Tongzhi, who had passed away for many days, so she quickly stopped what she was doing, came to the queen's side, and comforted her softly.
"Sister must not always be sad, the days to come will be long......" Concubine Hui took the queen's hand and said softly, "You don't think about yourself, but you have to think about the child in your womb, right?" β¦β¦β
"What my sister said is, look at me, as she spoke, tears came out, making my sister worried......" Queen Arut realized her gaffe, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and smiled, "Come, I'll embroider with my sister......"
Seeing that the queen wanted to embroider with herself, Concubine Hui nodded happily, and the queen took the needle and thread from the palace maid's hand, and embroidered the dragon and phoenix patterns on the baby brocade quilt with Concubine Hui.
"It's still my sister who embroiders well, like the eyes of this phoenix, I always embroider badly, I have no spirit, my sister embroidered this phoenix eye in a few clicks, it's really wonderful." Concubine Hui looked at the phoenix head embroidered by the queen, and couldn't help but admire, "I can't think of a phoenix like a phoenix......"
"Hehe, if you think about what Lord Xifo's eyes look like, what these phoenix eyes look like, you will know." The queen chuckled.
Concubine Hui recalled the Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes, and couldn't help but nod in surprise.
While the two were talking, they were embroidering patterns, and the palace maids were helping to prepare things that could be used for the babies who would be born in the future, and the lotus cloud was filled with warm and cheerful air for a while.
And at this moment, a little eunuch walked quickly to the gate of the garden, said a few words to the eunuch guarding the door, and the eunuch who guarded the door immediately came to the door of Heyunzhai and reported in a low voice: "Master Hui, the grandfather is over there, and the message is coming." β
Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, stopped the needle and thread in her hand, she turned her head to look out the window, and saw the little eunuch standing next to the lotus pond.
This little eunuch is one of her cronies, and if there is anything at home to inform her on weekdays, he usually sends the message.
Although the little eunuch hung his head and didn't look at it (because this is the place where the queen is preparing to give birth, and the news of the queen's waiting to give birth is strictly confidential), Concubine Hui can still feel that he looks very nervous, as if something big has happened.
"Sister wait, sister will be absent for a while." Concubine Hui put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and said.
The queen didn't notice anything unusual, she just smiled and nodded, but the work in her hand did not stop.
Concubine Hui got up and walked out of the room, came to the porch, and when she saw Concubine Hui appear, the little eunuch immediately walked up quickly, and after giving Concubine Hui a salute, the little eunuch came to Concubine Hui's side and whispered something in her ear.
As soon as the little eunuch finished saying the first sentence, Concubine Hui's face immediately changed, but she quickly forced herself to return to normal, she didn't speak, just quietly listened to the little eunuch's story.
And with the little eunuch's narration, although Concubine Hui's expression did not change again, a pair of hands tightened the Jinpa in her hand, because of too much force, her knuckles lost their blood.
After a short time, the little eunuch finished speaking, bowed and retreated, and Concubine Hui quietly turned around and returned to the house.
"What did you say? How are you doing at home? The queen didn't notice anything strange about Concubine Hui, and when she saw her come back, she picked up the needle and thread again, smiled and asked casually.
"It's all about worrying, everything is fine at home." Concubine Hui smiled and said, "No, I haven't been back to see it for many days, and I miss it a little at home, so I want someone to say something, and I will ask by the way." β
Since the imperial court announced that Empress Arut had a "miscarriage", Concubine Hui, who is responsible for "taking care" of Empress Arut, has not left the place called "Heyun Zhai" in "Heaven and Earth Family Spring" for a long time.
After listening to Concubine Hui's answer, the queen didn't pay much attention to it, and the two continued to work as before, talking and laughing while embroidering. Although the queen didn't pay attention, several of Concubine Hui's personal palace maids all felt that Concubine Hui seemed to have something on her mind.
Sure enough, after accompanying the queen to embroider all the patterns on the baby brocade quilt, Concubine Hui said goodbye to the queen, and then took several eunuchs and palace maids to rush to the "Daya Zhai" where the Empress Dowager Cixi lived.
"Why did Concubine Hui come here at this time?" The Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Concubine Hui appear at this time, she thought that something was wrong with the queen, and immediately asked, "How is the queen there?" β
Hearing the Empress Dowager Cixi's question, the Empress Dowager Ci'an, who happened to come to visit the Empress Dowager Cixi, also showed concern on her face.
"If you go back to the emperor's mother, my sister, everything is fine, and I was embroidering flowers with Lan'er just now." Concubine Hui replied, but her eyes gradually turned red.
"This child is about to be born, you two, you should also pay attention to rest, these tasks can be handed over to Jing'er and them to do." The Empress Dowager Cixi saw that Concubine Hui had a hint of haggard color between her eyebrows, and she felt pity in her heart, and said softly, "Don't let someone give birth to a child, but when the time comes, you will be tired." β
"Yes! Concubine Hui is also very tired these days, I haven't seen her for a few days, how can I look at it, people are a little thin. Empress Dowager Ci'an also said.
The words of love and pity of the two queen mothers touched the sadness of Concubine Hui, and she looked at the two queen mothers, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Huh? Huifei, what are you? ......" Seeing Concubine Hui suddenly crying, the Empress Dowager Cixi was taken aback.
The Empress Dowager Ci'an was also surprised to see Concubine Hui like this for the first time, as if she had a great grievance.
Concubine Hui shed tears and slowly knelt down.
"Lan'er, today I am here to pay to the two emperors...... The ...... who said goodbye" Concubine Hui wept and kowtowed.
"What do you say? Resignation? The Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but be a little flustered when she said this, and immediately asked, "Where are you going?" β
"Lan'er...... I'm going to go with Emperor Daxing......" Concubine Hui cried.
Hearing Concubine Hui's words, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an were all startled and stood up in unison.
"Lan'er, you...... What did you say? The Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to be unable to believe her ears and asked again.
"Lan'er...... This is going to go with the Emperor Daxing...... Save someone from talking about Lan'er behind your back...... Let the emperor be ashamed......" Concubine Hui choked up and bowed her head again.
Seeing that Concubine Hui was speaking solemnly, and her words were sad and indignant, the Empress Dowager Cixi realized that she was not joking, and her face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.
"Lan'er, what's going on? How did you suddenly have this idea? Empress Dowager Cixi asked in a deep voice.
Concubine Hui cried even more when she heard the Empress Dowager Cixi's inquiry.
"Lan'er, did you just say that someone was talking about you behind your back?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an was keenly aware that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in Concubine Hui's words just now, and immediately asked.
"Lan'er...... There is no injustice! Ask the two emperors to call the shots! Concubine Hui cried.
"What the hell is going on? You make it clear to me! The Empress Dowager Cixi was a little anxious, "Hurry up!" β
"Lan'er wants to ask the two emperors, since Lan'er entered the palace, has she ever been a woman who does not abide by women's morals? ......" Concubine Hui did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically with tears.
"Who said you didn't keep a woman's way?" When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard her question, her face turned blue for a while.
"Huang Eniang, Lan'er wants to ask, except for that time when Emperor Daxing summoned foreign ministers, has Lan'er ever seen Lin Yizhe again?" Concubine Hui still didn't answer, still crying and asked.
"Lin Yizhe? Someone has him involved with you? The Empress Dowager Cixi thought of the fold on Wang Qingqi that had made her unable to swallow, and her face grew angry.
"Huang Eniang, Lan'er and her sister met Lin Yizhe that day, listened to a few words he said about filial piety in the Western Kingdom, and felt something, and cried and repented to Huang Eniang, and never saw him again. Can...... Some people even said that it was Lin Yizhe who cast soul dementorship on his sister and Lan'er, and went to Lan'er's house to talk nonsense......" Concubine Hui cried.
At this time, although she was crying and talking intermittently, the meaning was very clear, and the reason for the matter was clear in a few words.
"Who is so bold?" The Empress Dowager Cixi immediately understood, and asked sharply.
"It's the Hanlin Academy's editor Bao Ting...... "Concubine Hui cried, "He ran to Lan'er's house, saying that Lin Yizhe used soul magic on Lan'er, and asked Lan'er's father to impeach Lin Yizhe, all kinds of crazy and perverse words, saying it, for fear of staining the ears of the two emperors......"
The Empress Dowager Cixi had fully understood at this time, and she was so angry that her hands and feet were cold for a while.
"Hmph...... Lin Yizhe used soul dementorship on you and the queen...... Did he want to say that I also fell for this dementorship that day?! β
"What a bold maniac!" The Empress Dowager Ci'an was also rarely furious, "What does he want to do?" Don't you want to die? β
"Hmph, sister, do you remember what Su Shun said back then?" The Empress Dowager Cixi sneered angrily, and even said the name of the old enemy Su Shun.
"Oh?" Empress Dowager Ci'an was stunned, she didn't expect Cixi to mention Su Shun at this time, and immediately asked, "What did Su Shun say?" β
"Na Su said it himself by the way: There are many bastards among the banner people." The Empress Dowager Cixi said hatefully, "Today's matter, I think what he said is not wrong!" I can't imagine that among the children of the clan of the Great Qing Ai Xinjueluo, there are really such bastards! β
"He thinks it's because he is the clan of the Aixin Jueluo family that he dares to be so presumptuous!" The Empress Dowager Ci'an said angrily, "Such a rebellious person must be punished well!" If not, today is Concubine Hui, and tomorrow may be you and my sister! β
"Lan'er didn't want to make the two Lafayettes angry, so she planned to go with the Daxing Emperor like this......" Concubine Hui saw the two queen mothers angry, knowing that her "one crying and two troubles" had already worked, and the next step should be "three hangings", so she continued to cry, "But Lan'er was reluctant to let go of the two Lafayettes, so she thought about talking to the two Lafayettes first, and now that Lan'er's grievances have been explained, she can go to serve the Daxing Emperor......"
Concubine Hui said, stood up, and suddenly ran straight to a large cloisonnΓ© copper smoker standing next to the Duobao Pavilion.
The Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an were all shocked, and they were at a loss for a while, Rao is personal palace maid Jing'er, who came with Concubine Hui, was fast, grabbed her shirt, and dragged her, but Concubine Hui's forehead still hit the copper furnace, and a trace of blood suddenly flowed out.
Concubine Hui fell into Jing'er's arms and fainted.
"Lan'er! Lan'er! At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't care about her own demeanor, just like the mother of an ordinary family, she rushed to the blood side of Concubine Hui, hugged her, and called with a panicked face, with a cry in her voice.
"Master Hui! Wake up, wake up......" Jing'er cried while pinching Concubine Hui's middle woman, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't stop stroking Concubine Hui's chest with her hand, and after a while, Concubine Hui woke up leisurely. Seeing the Empress Dowager Cixi's tearful eyes, she cried aggrievedly again.
The Empress Dowager Cixi kept comforting her, she had always loved her cousin and niece, and never thought that she would be so wronged.
Empress Dowager Ci'an stepped forward, gently wiped the blood on Concubine Hui's forehead with a handkerchief, and looked at Concubine Hui with tears streaming down her face, she just wanted to say something to comfort, but suddenly thought of the queen, her heart sank, and she quickly asked, "Concubine Hui, does the queen know about this?" β
"Lan'er didn't dare to tell her sister about this, for fear that once her sister was angry, she would be angry...... "Concubine Hui wept.
"Good boy...... Let's stop crying......" The Empress Dowager Cixi listened to Concubine Hui's answer and was moved in her heart.
