185 - Rou Guifei
"Not only that, but the noble concubine and the red lotus also insisted that our concubine was discussing major affairs in the court, and insulted the noble concubine and His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." Yunzhu continued to add oil and vinegar, "What kind of temperament our mother is, the emperor, you know best." Niangniang has always only had the emperor in her heart, and she never cares about any government affairs, let alone arguing! ”
Murong Lin said distressedly: "Concubine Ai, I really wronged you, does it still hurt?" ”
Chu Qianrou, who had been silent, finally spoke, sobbing and said, "Everyone enters the palace together as concubines, and serving the emperor well is the most important thing." Rou'er has served the emperor seriously since she entered the palace, and she has never dared to be the slightest bit sloppy, why should she be subjected to such groundless accusations? Could it be that because the concubine Niangniang has a higher position than Rou'er, she can be wantonly humiliated? Or is the child in the concubine's womb hindering the eyes of the concubine? In this case, it is better for the concubine to take the child back to Shangshu Mansion, so as not to be looked down upon! Or go to the nunnery to spend the rest of your life and pray for the emperor every day! ”
"Aifei, what are you talking about?" Murong Lin said unhappily, "With me here, who dares to bully you?" Don't be angry with me! ”
Chu Xian choked softly: "The emperor has all the opportunities, how can he protect the concubines all the time, the concubines can't stay closed all day long." Even if the concubine can stand it, the child in the concubine's belly can't stand it, but the imperial doctor said that the concubine should move around a lot in order to help the growth of the fetus. ”
Murong Lin said impatiently: "Whoever made you shut up, you can go wherever you want!" ”
"But if you meet the concubine again, what should I do if I call the concubine? Today's concubine Niangniang just beat the concubine, the concubine can still understand her feelings, if he hurts the flesh and blood of the concubine's abdomen in the future, the concubine will never agree! ”
Murong Lin comforted: "I have already reprimanded the concubine today, and I don't dare to do it again in the future." ”
"But what if she dares?" Chu Qianrou held on.
"This ......" Murong Lin didn't know how to answer for a while, who would dare to guarantee this in case, besides, this Jade Guifei has always been an arrogant and domineering lord. Chaise...... Suddenly, Murong Lin had a flash of inspiration: "I have named you Concubine Rou, except for the queen in the future, no one will dare to touch you at all!" ”
"The Queen......
Murong Lin didn't wait for her to finish speaking, then explained: "You don't have to worry about this, the queen's personality is very clear, she knows the general situation, knows the etiquette, and will not embarrass you." ”
Chu Qianrou said softly: "In the end, it is a married couple, even if there is no emotion, the emperor has given her the respect and trust she deserves." She was worried: "There has always been only one concubine in the palace, and the emperor broke the rules of the ancestors for the sake of the concubines, and the queen is afraid that she will not like it." The emperor has this thought, and the concubines will be satisfied, and if the concubines meet the concubines again in the future, they will be able to hide. ”
Unexpectedly doubting the majesty of his emperor, it was really unbearable, Murong Lin said solemnly: "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I forget what I say." The rules are originally set by people, and if they are not suitable, they must be changed. I said that I will make you a concubine, and I will definitely make you a concubine, and you will wait. The Queen's side will explain. ”
"But the emperor ......"
"Ai Concubine, I originally wanted to wait for you to give birth to Long'er before naming you as a concubine, but now it's just a canonization in advance. Well, don't be sad, no one will dare to embarrass you in the future. ”
Chu Qianrou leaned into Murong Lin's arms and said glutinously: "The concubine doesn't know that it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and she can be so loved by the emperor." ”
Looking at the beauty in his arms, Murong Lin suddenly had a surging spring tide, but when he thought of the unstable fetal image that the imperial doctor said, he didn't dare to move, so he comforted him a few more words, and ran to find other beauties to relieve his boredom.
Chu Qianrou secretly took a sip, serving this old immortal every day, and pretending to be affectionate, but it made her disgusting, but fortunately, she could be clean for a while by pretending to be pregnant this time. She secretly said in her heart: "Wang Lang, you have to win the favor of the old man as soon as possible." As long as you ascend to the throne of the crown prince, I will immediately think of a solution to this old man, so that you can get what you want, and I can be liberated as soon as possible. ”
At noon the next day, Concubine Feng's decree came down. Although the queen was dissatisfied, she did not admonish her, and still complied. She can sit firmly in the middle palace, not because of the love of husband and wife or how much ability she has, but because she is obedient, she has always followed the emperor's thoughts, just like a roundworm in the emperor's stomach.
When she was young, she still thought about competing for favor and thinking about the love of husband and wife. But when she saw Murong Lin taking one beauty after another into the palace, and seeing those newcomers being favored and falling out of favor one by one, she gradually looked away. Later, she gave birth to the prince, was given the name Murong Xuan, and was named the crown prince, she figured it out even more, as long as she sat firmly in the position of the queen, she could keep her son's position as the crown prince, and the queen mother in the future would be the real master of the six palaces, and the others would be mirrors.
Even if Yu Guifei is favored again, but because she is domineering, jealous, and likes to be petty with the emperor, she can only be a concubine, and her son can only be a prince. Now that Chu Qianrou is pregnant, she is not afraid, whether she can grow up is still unknown, what threat can she have? What's more, even she is dissatisfied with Chu Qianrou, and the others can't bear it even more. The more favored she is now, the more she will make enemies, what is there to be afraid of, it is better to obey the emperor's wishes.
Chu Qianrou took the decree and smiled at Yunzhu: "I'm blessed with this 'dragon'. ”
Yunzhu immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Niangniang, when the slave maid has served Niangniang for lunch, she will accompany Niangniang to go out for a walk." ”
In recent days, Concubine Rou, who rarely comes out and walks around on weekdays, has appeared in the places where the concubines like to gather every day, and those women saw Chu Qianrou, although they were all in the advanced stage of pink eye, they didn't dare to have seizures, and they had to please their faces. She has been in the palace for more than a year, and the emperor is not only bored, but also more favored, and can almost walk sideways in the palace, no one dares to offend her in the open, only secretly stabbing the villain.
It is said that after Concubine Yu was reprimanded by Murong Lin that day, although Murong Lin did not say it explicitly, she also made her think about it behind closed doors in disguise. It's just that she has been quiet for only a day, and this Chu Qianrou has started to behave again.
Concubine Yu almost stirred up the handkerchief in her hand, the dispute between the two people, even if it was wrong for her to beat someone, but it was obviously the slut who picked it first, and the emperor didn't check it, so he let himself think about it behind closed doors, and the slut was not only punished, but also named a concubine.
Everyone knows that there has always been only one queen in the palace, one concubine, three concubines, nine concubines and twenty-seven wives, plus eighty-one royal wives, and there has never been a single said of two concubines. Now that slut has been named a concubine, she seems to be on the same level as herself, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is the most favored and talkative person now. She even swaggered around, which was clearly embarrassing herself.
"Niangniang," Honglian said unconvinced, "If you continue like this, I'm afraid that no one will take you seriously, you have to think about it, even if it is for the sake of His Royal Highness, you have to kill the majesty of that Rou Guifei!" ”
"Shut up!" Concubine Yu said angrily, "Don't you have a long memory of what happened two days ago?" Do you know that trouble comes from the mouth? ”
"Niangniang, it was obviously Concubine Rou who was talking nonsense that day!" Honglian was not convinced.
"Idiot, the events of that day made it clear that it was a trap set by that slut, and it was placed in the palace. If this palace is not cautious, I am afraid that she will be caught again. Yu Guifei's expression was complicated, and she was both unwilling to admit it and had to admit such a fact.
"Niangniang, why are you so ambitious?" Honglian was a little anxious, she used to follow Concubine Yu Guifei to be a good man, but she didn't want to go back to the days when she was bullied.
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves, the day after tomorrow is September 19, you go to prepare, the palace is going to Deshan Hall to pray for the emperor and Heng'er, and it is better to go to bad luck." Concubine Yu said indignantly.
"Aifei, Jing'er learned that Aifei lost her appetite after she was pregnant, so she specially sent someone to find a cook outside the palace to make some appetizers, you can try it." Murong Lin looked at Chu Qianrou looking at the table with a loveless look, and hurriedly flattered.
Li Neiguan cooperated to open the food box. Chu Qianrou saw that the dish was exquisite and beautiful, like a peacock opening the screen among a hundred flowers, and immediately smiled.
Seeing this, Yunzhu hurriedly gave her vegetables. Chu is delicate and delicate, sweet and sour, very refreshing, and really suitable for pregnant women, but unfortunately she is not. However, this dish is also to her taste, so she pretends to eat half of it before stopping. Murong Lin was very happy when he saw it, and he rewarded Murong Jing again.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow is September 19, and the concubine wants to go to Deshan Hall to pray for the emperor and the child in her womb." Chu Qianrou asked. Although she would not have an opinion if she went directly to the emperor, she wanted to let him know that she was very dependent on him, and she also wanted to make this trip justified.
"Concubine Ai has a heart, but I'm worried about Concubine Ai's body." Murong Lin did not immediately agree.
Chu Xian said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you really regard your concubines as weak, how far can you go to Deshan Hall, and the imperial doctor also said that you want your concubines to walk around more on weekdays." ”
Murong Lin just liked her the most, and immediately agreed: "Okay, you can go if you want, but be careful not to get tired of my emperor." If you need anything, let someone do it, and I will be close to you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Qianrou smiled happily.
Murong Lin reluctantly said: "You have a good rest, I have to go back to review the folds." Alas, without the company of my concubine, I can't finish this recital. ”
Chu Qianrou held him and said, "When the child is four months old, the fetal image will be stable, and then the concubine will go to Zichen Palace to accompany the emperor." ”
Murong Lin smiled: "You are still the most intimate concubine." ”
Worshipping the Buddha is about sincerity, such as bathing and burning incense, such as getting up early in the morning. Concubine Yu got up early, and set off for Deshan Hall as soon as it was dawn. The morning air is particularly fresh, accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Yu Guifei only feels refreshed, as if the unhappiness of many days has been swept away, and it is really a good day to praise.
However, she soon vetoed her idea and secretly screamed bad luck, because she ran into Chu Qianrou, and by chance, the two happened to meet at a fork in the road. The trail could only allow a group of people to pass through the turn to Deshan Hall first.
When the enemy met, his eyes were very red, and Concubine Yu was unwilling to give way. Besides, even if Chu Qianrou has been favored recently, but everyone is in the same position, then they have to come first and come first. She has been canonized for more than ten years, she is a veteran concubine, and her status should be a little higher than Chu Qianrou.
Chu Qianrou didn't think so, in terms of the degree of favor, Yu Guifei was far worse than herself, and besides, she was here to find fault, how could that slap be just like that, let alone take the initiative to let the road rest and calm down.
The two of them were at a fork in the road. The sky gradually brightened, and Concubine Yu was anxious, cleared her throat and put on a majestic posture: "Shangxiang is also divided into first-come, first-come, first-come, first ”
Chu Qianrou smiled: "It is human nature to respect the old and love the young, and my sister should let my sister go." But my sister is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, her body is weak, and she can't stand for too long, so she asked her sister to pray for the emperor first, so that she can return to the palace early. ”
