Chapter 76: Provocation
As Yin Lingyuan said, He Jieyu Jin was named a concubine, holding the main position of a palace, and it would be unceremonial for the concubine to live in Ruixiang Palace, and the little princess was born, and the people who took care of the nursing mother and mother were doubled, and the palace room of Ruixiang Palace was insufficient, and the concubine moved to Liqing Palace in accordance with the holy decree.
The person who was staring at Ruixiang Palace's red eyes was happy now.
Concubine He gave birth to a princess and was promoted, her status has been stable, and there is a little prince under her knees, if there is no major accident, the glory and wealth of her life are stable. Concubine Xian's identity is special, and she is also an unshakable existence in the harem, and she raised the three princes, even if she does not have her own children, she is also old and dependent, and her strength should not be underestimated. In contrast, Yin Lingyuan fell behind and was less conspicuous.
If Concubine He and Concubine Xian have always been friends, and the two join forces, wouldn't they be invincible in this harem?
Unexpectedly, the emperor Chrysostom said that he asked Xian Concubine to move to Liqing Palace.
"Liqing Palace is unknown, how many people have folded in, from Li Jieyu to Chuncao, and then to Wei Meiren, none of them have a good end, and now there is a lame Lady Li living in the side hall." Concubine Rong sat on the couch, and the two of them sat down to talk to her.
During this time, Concubine Rong was busy with the concubines, attracting close concubines, with the intention of winning people's hearts and using them for their own use, and the objects of attraction were also on those low-ranking beauties and ladies, who were easy to control and easy to give.
At this time, the two low-ranking concubines Zhao and Wu were talking to her, and Zhao, who was a beauty, said: "Even if you move to Liqing Palace, it is the emperor's will, and there is no reason for the concubine to resent the concubine." ”
"It's the emperor's will, but if there is no concubine, how can Concubine Xian live in that unlucky place?" , Lady Wu said, "And I heard that a while ago, Concubine Xian was sick, in order to avoid Concubine He, she has already moved out once, Concubine He is pregnant with a child, but the tossing of Concubine Xian is not light, hehe." ”
"Hmph", Concubine Rong sneered, "Aren't they sisterly lovers?" This palace wants to see how deep their love will be. ”
"What Niangniang said is", Lady Wu said, "and that Yu Jieyu, I wanted to befriend her when Concubine He was still a beauty, but now that she is a concubine, she is still a Jieyu, and I don't know how it is unbalanced." ”
She swore so much, she forgot that she and Yin Lingyuan were drafted into the palace in the same year, and now she is just a little lady, and she still has the face to talk about others.
Zhao Meiren was disdainful in her heart, and only said to Concubine Rong: "Niangniang, the time is almost up." ”
Concubine Rong glanced at Xia Cai, and when she saw the latter nodding, she stood up lazily, straightened her clothes and said, "Then let's go." ”
The little princess is full moon, and the emperor celebrates with a banquet in Ruixiang Palace, and the concubines and concubines of all palaces naturally have to be present to celebrate.
In the main hall of Ruixiang Palace, the ceremonial official read out the canonization decree loudly, and the concubine knelt in an orange-red dark gold dress, and then greeted the emperor and the concubine, listened to the concubine's teaching, and the canonization ceremony was completed.
"Get up quickly", Qi Ye spoke, "Today is your good day, you have to take good care of Xuan Yu and Rou'an in the future." ”
Rou'an is the title of the little princess, and it was given by Qi Ye on the day of the third day.
"Emperor Xie, Concubine Xie Guiniang", Concubine He got up with the support of the palace maid, "The concubine must follow the teachings." ”
The sound of dance and music rose again, everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the concubine returned to her place and sat down.
The seating arrangements for the banquets in the palace are all according to their status, and with the change of the status of the concubines, the seats are naturally changing.
When the concubine has not yet entered the palace, under Concubine Rong is Concubine Sun, on the left of the main seat, on the right is Concubine Yi, Concubine Jing, and in turn in turn, Concubine Xian occupies the position of Concubine Sun after entering the palace, ranking second on the left, next to Concubine Rong, Concubine Sun is third.
Now the concubine is promoted, and the two children under her knees are ranked above the concubine who has only one daughter, so the concubine is ranked to the right, and today is the full moon banquet of the little princess, and the position of the concubine is next to Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong enjoyed the singing and dancing, did not forget to pay attention to the movements of the concubines, and watched the concubines come over to toast, congratulating the concubines on their promotion, and they were not angry.
Finally waiting for Yin Lingyuan to come over, Concubine Rong poured herself a glass of wine and slowly got up.
In front of Concubine He's banquet, Yin Lingkite, Concubine Xian, and Concubine He were talking, and Concubine Rong moved to come over to toast in person: "I haven't congratulated my sister yet, today Sister He's sister and the little princess have the same full moon and the same gift, it's really a double happiness." ”
Concubine He was flattered, and hurriedly raised her glass in return: "Lao Niangniang's royal drive, how can the concubine afford it, the concubine respects the mother's mother." ”
The two drank the wine in each other's glasses, Concubine Rong put down the wine glass and looked at Concubine Xian: "Sister Xian is still used to moving to Liqing Palace?" This palace knows that Liqing Palace is not as good as Ruixiang Palace, but Rou'an is still young, so I have to ask you to move, I really pity my sister. ”
"Thank you for your care, concubines are used to it", Concubine Xian replied with low eyebrows.
"That's good", Concubine Rong smiled, turned around and took something from the maid's hand, and handed it to Concubine Xian: "There is a peace charm here in this palace, which was specially asked for from the masters, so I gave it to Concubine Xian's sister, hoping to keep you safe in Liqing Palace." ”
Murder and heart, although Concubine Rong did not explicitly say that Liqing Palace was unknown, the meaning of this act of sending peace charms was clearly revealed.
The Zhao family and the Wu family also came over, and the two of them held wine glasses, and they also helped Concubine Rong provoke under the guise of toasting.
Concubine He showed a look of guilt on her face, and just about to speak, Concubine Xian signaled that it was okay, stepped forward to take the peace charm, and was also obedient: "Thank you Concubine Rong." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Shi hurriedly spoke: "Concubine Rong Niangniang is really hearted, so for the sake of Concubine Xian Niangniang, with the blessing of this peace charm, presumably Concubine Niangniang will be able to turn evil into good fortune and be lucky in distress." ”
"I don't know what kind of murder is there for the concubine? What's so hard to come across? Yin Lingyuan suddenly opened her mouth and looked at the peace charm, "Niangniang's intentions are good, but Lady Wu's words made me understand." ”
Zhao Meiren's face became a little ugly, and she quickly explained: "The concubine doesn't mean this, the concubine just hopes that everything is okay with the mother." ”
Concubine Rong seemed to have just seen Yin Lingyu: "Yo, Yu Jieyu is also there", she looked at Yin Lingyu's seat not far away, looked at Concubine He, and said with a light smile: "It is not as convenient as before for Yu Jieyu to say a word to Concubine He now, and she has to go so far, it's really hard." ”
"It's just a few steps, and the concubine doesn't feel hard." Yin Lingyuan said.
"Also, Yu Jieyu is obsessed with the countryside, she must be used to walking." Concubine Rong sneered, "It's just that my sister should also put more of her mind on the emperor, this palace remembers that when the concubine was still a beauty, she loved to go to her sister's palace, and later met the emperor, although she shared some favor, but in the end there is not as much as her sister, why is it that now that the concubine has even given birth to a child, Yu Jieyu still doesn't see any movement?" ”
Lady Wu hurriedly followed: "Yes, Sister Yu has served the emperor for more than a year, who can compare to her sister in terms of favor, but ......" She paused deliberately, and said with a smile, "I think it's not time yet, or Concubine He's good fortune, she earned grace and gave birth to a princess, and took the lead." ”
This is a bit too much, these three people set up a stage to sing, and poked at the nest of people's hearts, Yin Lingyuan didn't care, but Concubine He's face became very ugly, and as soon as these three people said it, she became the scheming person who borrowed her sisters to take the position.
"Lady Wu's words are wrong", in front of everyone, Yin Lingyuan didn't want to comfort the concubine, so she had to grab the other party and reply: "If you talk about grace, Concubine Rong has been in the palace for many years and is deeply favored by the emperor, who can compare with the concubines?" Even Niangniang is empty on her knees, how dare the concubines take the lead. ”
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Rong's color changed instantly: "You dare to be so ......"
Before he finished speaking, the voice of the concubine came from above: "What are you sisters talking about together?" ”
Everyone looked up at the same time and found that the sound of dance and music had stopped for some time, and the emperor, the concubine, and the concubines all looked at this side curiously.
Concubine Xian blessed her body and said calmly: "Qi Guifei Niangniang, Concubine Rong Niangniang knew that the concubine had moved to a new home, so she specially sent a congratulatory gift." ”
As he spoke, he presented the peace charm with both hands, and immediately a palace person took it and presented it to the emperor and the concubine.
Qi Ye curiously picked up the peace charm and looked at it, Concubine Rong's face was cloudy, what was this from the master, it was clearly that she ordered someone to draw it at will, in order to block the concubine, at this moment, I was really afraid that the emperor would see the clue.
Fortunately, Qi Ye didn't have much research on Fu Zheng, so he gave it back to Concubine Xian after a curiose look, and laughed with Concubine Rong: "You have a heart, but today is a good day for Concubine He, why didn't I see you give Concubine He?" ”
Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and also put on a coquettish smile: "Sister Concubine He is very happy, she has the emperor's reward, the concubine is thinking that Concubine He and Concubine Xian have always been good sisters, so she naturally does not want to snub her sisters because of her own scenery, so she gave this peace charm to Sister Xian Concubine, a little expression." Besides, the concubine's sister gave birth to a princess and was promoted, which is already a great reward, why does the emperor still have to ask for the concubine's gift for He, but there is no such partiality. ”
What she said on the phone was reasonable, and she brought some women's coquettishness and friendship for the emperor, which made Long Yan happy, and Qi Ye laughed heartily.
Zhao Meiren took advantage of this and hurriedly made fun: "What Concubine Rong said is very true, Sister He gave birth to a princess safely, and the heirs of Tianqi are prosperous, which is God's mercy and the greatest reward for us, and the concubines respect the emperor and the sisters with a cup." ”
"That's right", Qi Ye raised his glass, "The heirs are luxuriant, the country is from generation to generation, and there are successors, God bless me Tianqi." ”
All the concubines raised their glasses one after another: "God bless Tianqi." ”
Everyone drank it all, and Concubine Yi slowly got up at this moment: "Your Majesty, the concubine still has a happy event to report." ”
"Oh?" Qi Ye put down his wine glass and looked at Concubine Yi expectantly, who raised his voice and said, "The imperial doctor asked for a pulse yesterday, saying that Jin Meiren is pregnant, congratulations to the emperor." ”
