Chapter 59: The Place of the Heart

In Yanfei Palace, behind a dragon screen carved with rosewood inlaid with rosewood, Concubine Rou was discussing something with a handsome and burly man.

"Lord Hui, don't be in a hurry, drink a cup of tea!" Rou Guifei said softly.

It turned out that the man was the father of the lord of Linlang, Prince Hui!

"This king just wants to ask, can you still believe Niangniang's words? The day before yesterday, Niangniang promised that this king would deal with the troublemaker and expel him from the Chuqing Palace, but now?" Prince Hui asked.

"She will move out of Chuqing Palace soon, and she won't get in the way of Miss Linlang's eyes. Concubine Rou said with a weak heart.

The day before yesterday, Prince Hui came to ask for an explanation, so she found an opportunity to mention to the emperor that seeing that the prince was about to get married next month, Yu Die'er was not a wife or a concubine, leaving her a woman with an unjustified name in the East Palace, which was indeed unorthodox, and hoped that the emperor would consider placing her in another place. I never thought that the emperor would give her the position of a first-class female official, and also gave her a residence in Ximian Palace.

"I don't need you to say it, this king also knows that she is going to move out, but is that a punishment? It's a high promotion, right? The concubine Niangniang knows better than this king that this Ximian Palace is the place where Concubine Yan of the previous dynasty lived, and so many concubines had not been given to her? What kind of thing is she, at best, she only knows a little medicine, what qualifications does she have to get this honor!" Prince Hui really gets angrier and angrier the more he talks, he beats the county lord without the slightest punishment, and he can be promoted, what is the reason.

"This time I really wronged the county lord, but Yan'er was also embarrassed, the woman was invited to treat the emperor, and she was cured, if the punishment was heavy, I was afraid that the emperor would not be able to get by, the palace had already taught Yan'er a lesson, and he shouldn't have left people in the East Palace at the beginning, since it was a doctor, he would be sent to the hospital to arrange it. He also repented and would never happen again. Rou Guifei assured.

"The pearl of this king's palm, this king is afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of falling in his hand, and he is ...... , was beaten by a nobody, this is a slap in the face of this king. Prince Hui snorted coldly, and said angrily.

At the end, the big sleeves flicked, and his face was furious: "This king also heard the maid in the house say that when the incident happened, the prince actually protected the woman wholeheartedly, where did this put my Linlang'er? She is the crown princess, if the prince looks down on Linlang, he will say it as soon as possible, this king will let out this face and beg the emperor to take back his life and cancel the marriage contract!" Prince Hui became more and more angry.

In the face of his rampantness, Concubine Rou was also helpless, who let him have power to cover the government and the opposition, and he wanted to make friends with him, and when he finished speaking, Fang Bao smiled and said: "The prince is serious, Linlang and Yan'er have known each other since childhood, and they are both heirs of the royal family, what a good marriage, don't you see that Yan'er and Linlang are not very good these days? ”

"Hmph, good? That's Linlang is simple and easy to bully, and a few good words coaxed him. Prince Hui had a hanging face.

"The emperor named her a female official and gave her a palace, she has the emperor's truth, and the palace can't interfere, no matter what, she has no such things after she leaves the East Palace, and the female official can't get married when she is on an errand, and the prince also knows, so Linlang doesn't have to worry about it. Sitting firmly on her position as the crown princess, won't she be unmatched in glory and wealth in the future?" Concubine Rou's tone was a little harder.

How can you say that she is also a concubine, Heyan is also the prince of Qiuchi Kingdom, no matter how powerful Prince Hui is, he is also a courtier, if he can be together, he will be together, if he can't be united, he will be scattered, is it possible that the position of the crown princess can still be empty, which of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military is not a crowd and wants his daughter to marry.

"Even if Linlang is willing, this king can't say anything, I just hope that the concubine can keep her worry-free, otherwise don't blame this king for being willful!" Prince Hui thought for a long time, and when he said this, it was considered to be eased.

Concubine Rou's heart also let go, it's really dangerous, if Heyan hadn't been trying to prevent himself from going to trouble Yu Die'er, he might not have agreed to please Linlang at all, and he would swim in the lake, swim in a P lake! If he didn't stabilize Linlang, I'm afraid he would really have to break up now.

Yu Die'er returned to Youlanxuan from Hetai's Haoyue Zhai angrily, drank a glass of water and went to the back garden to swing her swing. Hopefully the wind will shake off the stuffiness. That Hetai is really annoying! I knew I shouldn't save him that day.

was playing happily on the swing, Qiu Ying came to call Peony back to find some embroidery, no one pushed, she shook it gently, lazily leaned on the side and squinted her eyes, shaking her little feet.

Confused and a little sleepy, he leaned on the side of the swing to take a nap, when he opened his eyes, a section of inky blue robe was in sight, looking up along the robe, only to see Heyan standing in front of her, staring straight at her, she was so startled that she immediately got up and said, "Why didn't the prince call me when he came?"

He didn't say that he was fascinated by her sleep, nor did he say that he couldn't bear to wake her up, but in fact, these two coexisted.

Heyan only whispered: "Die'er, you agreed to be a female official of the imperial court? Do you know that if you become a female official, you will have to work in this palace for more than ten years before you are qualified to leave the palace and be qualified to marry." ”

More than ten years, who did an old yellow flower marry at that time?

"The emperor gave it, how can I resist the will, if I resist the will, let alone marry, my life will be gone. I'm afraid you can't see me anymore. Yu Die'er said lightly, she was actually a little angry in her heart, Heyan disappeared inexplicably for a few days, and now she came to ask why she agreed, is she qualified not to agree?

Of course, she knew that female officials could not marry when they were on errands, unless they were married to the emperor, or the emperor granted amnesty to allow marriage, but what was the importance of marrying or not marrying, she didn't care at all. Which of the palace maids in this palace doesn't have to wait until they leave the palace to get married.

Heyan only thought that she blamed herself for not showing up for a few days, and said stupidly: "I didn't mean not to come to see you, it's really ...... In the past few days, my mother said that she was unwell and summoned me over, and I understood that she had taken great pains to trap me there with Linlang, but I couldn't bear to brush her face. I can only accompany Linlang out of the palace to play, and I will return today. "Even if it is an explanation for the disappearance of the past few days, it can be regarded as a confession. It's just that he didn't say that Concubine Rou couldn't exchange it for trouble with Yu Die'er, and let him accompany Linlang to play.

Yu Die'er chuckled: "I should accompany her, she is your crown princess." ”

His eyes were gloomy: "What should be thought is not what is thought, but what is thought is always what should not be thought." ”

"I know that I shouldn't be, so why do I want to think about it?" asked Yu Die'er rhetorically.

The persecution between her words made him instantly silent. After a long time, he said: "I don't want you to leave Chuqing Palace, if you regret it, I will go to my father and ask him to return your free body and not be the position of the female official." ”

"Can you stay in the Chuqing Palace if you are free? If you are free, there will be no place to stand, will your crown princess allow me to stay here? Prince Hui, will Concubine Zhuang allow it? I'm afraid even your mother won't allow it." Yu Die'er smiled bitterly, she was what everyone wanted to push out, since there was a good place to go, why didn't she leave?

"If you have a name, you will have a reason to stay. There was hope in Heyan's eyes.

"Status?Concubine??

Heyan didn't dare to look at her eyes, and said with a different face: "I also want to find a good name for you, but the mother concubine has talked to me a lot in the past few days, and it is undeniable that what she said is also right, if I blindly rebel and lose this son, I will have no capital, let alone protect you, maybe even I can't protect myself." His tone was light, but his face was full of bitterness.

Concubine! Indeed, he didn't want to say it himself, what a good name can a bed warmer have.

He said solemnly: "Although I can't give you the position of the main concubine and the side concubine, in the position of my heart, they will never be able to surpass you!"

The position in his heart, Yu Die'er suddenly became a little angry, and wanted to question him, the position in his heart is worth a few dollars, in this deep palace where jackals, tigers and leopards eat the weak, you talk to me about the position in your heart, even if Heyan ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, the crown princess is the queen, the side concubine is the concubine, and the best result of the concubine is to be a concubine. The bad ones can't even be sealed with a concubine.

As soon as the new batch of show girls entered the palace, even the concubines became daylilies, hanging there, eating and waiting to die. Unlike queens and concubines, at least they have a noble status. Not to mention how miserable the fate of those low-ranking concubines after the emperor's death was, even when they were alive, they were depressed everywhere. Take food and moon silver, for example.

There is more than one dining room in the palace, but only for the emperor to serve the royal dining room, there are two imperial dining rooms, one is next to the Xuanyi Hall in the front hall, because the emperor's bedroom and office are there, and it is also convenient to eat. The other is in the harem, which is convenient for the emperor to eat while resting in the inner palace, and the queen, the queen mother, the noble concubines of high status and the concubines who have been granted permission can enjoy the meals of the imperial dining room.

Those concubines of low status were not eligible for meals in the imperial dining room, and the daily three meals were taken care of by the inner dining room in the residence. In addition to the emperor's imperial dining room, there are also large and small dining rooms in the harem, that is, small kitchens, all of which are in various palace courtyards.

The queen mother, queen, and concubine also have internal dining rooms in their palaces, and they can not only enjoy the imperial dining room with the emperor, but also make it in their own palace. This is the difference in status, the difference in treatment.

And the other concubines only have the inner dining room, the monthly meal fee is also issued according to the grade, ranging from one hundred taels to ten taels, the high level is high, the grade is low, not only the palace is small, the environment is poor, the inner dining room is also small, even the monthly silver is not much, the meal fee is less, of course the dishes are not good, because you have no money to buy, the monthly silver is so pointed, the tableware is also according to the grade specifications, the high level of the concubine is gold, silver, low concubines can only use tin, porcelain, etc.

Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything depends on your position, so it is not difficult to understand why you are sharpening your head and trying to climb up, because you are in the lowest position, you have no power, you have no money, it is difficult to have a good meal, and even the minions of those forces roll their eyes at you.

No status, no food, no drink, and white eyes, these hardships don't matter, what's even more terrifying is that you have no status and are still favored, that is, a collection of resentment, and people who want to change the law to toss you are in line.

Yu Die'er is clear about these, after all, she was the imperial concubine for six years in her previous life, because Hebi doted on her, although she was pretending, but she was excluded and bullied by other concubines because of this.

At that time, the servants in the imperial dining room didn't know if it was bought by anyone, and the food sent to Yu Die'er looked at the meat and vegetables that were properly matched, the ingredients were also expensive, and all kinds of dishes and soups were complete, so that people couldn't pick out a little thorn, that is, the emperor looked at the menu and nodded in praise, but these fresh and nutritious dishes, only to know after eating them in one bite, the meat is not fresh, smelly, and some dishes are leftovers, add some fresh peppers to the dining room, and the chives are refrigerated and fried, and the bright green ones make people not see that they are leftovers. Only those who eat are miserable.

There was no way, she could only not eat, and only used the dishes in the dining room in her palace, but she was deliberately advertised that she was pampered and arrogant, and she couldn't even eat the dishes in the imperial dining room. And the vegetables sent to the inner dining room are all kinds of hands and feet.

also said that he listened to Hebi, he was angry and threatened to punish, but it was also thunder and rain, what the king's helplessness, and said that the background of a certain concubine is strong, and it is easy to move, the brother of a certain noble person is in charge of the army, and the father of a certain person is an important minister in the court, and in the end he just comforted himself a few words, so that he could be more considerate, quite a little Heyan's current rhetoric, you are the most important in my heart, Yunyun!

This is the king! All the pros and cons cannot escape the country and the throne. Whoever is beneficial to him is respected, and if it is not beneficial, he will leave a place for you in his heart. Give you a reason so that you can't live and endure everything without complaints.
