In the evening of the same day, Emperor Zheng invited Emperor Xuanhe into Zhongcui Palace on the grounds of "discussing the selection of the accompanying driver of the autumn hunt". first choked up with self-reproach: "...... The emperor's dragon is unwell, and the concubine's heart is like a knife, and he can't replace him with his body. ”

Emperor Xuanhe was secretive about the illness. No one in the palace dared to mention it. Emperor Zheng didn't dare to say too much, and this emotion of "hating can't be replaced by one's body" inevitably became a little less infectious.

Emperor Xuanhe said lightly: "I know your intentions." ”

Emperor Zheng wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and then talked about the autumn hunt.

"In this autumn hunt, the concubine has to accompany the car. There were six concubines in the palace who went together. Luo Guiren, Zhao Guiren, and Xu Meiren are all among them. I don't know who else the emperor wants to drive? It's better for the concubines to adjust the list as soon as possible. ”

Emperor Xuanhe was impatient with these trivial matters, and said casually: "It's up to you to decide." ”

Emperor Zheng's concubine was secretly happy in her heart, and responded softly: "The emperor can trust his concubines." The concubine will live up to the emperor's trust. ”

Over the years, she has been taking care of palace affairs. Emperor Xuanhe has long been accustomed to handing over everything in the harem to her. Queen Pei only relied on a few fluttering words, and she wanted to return to Fengyin, but she was too underestimated to look down on her.

Emperor Zheng's concubine served Emperor Xuanhe diligently for dinner.

Taking advantage of Emperor Xuanhe's good mood, Emperor Zheng's concubine mentioned Empress Pei in a relieved tone: "...... The queen's illness improved, the phoenix body improved, and the concubines saw it in their eyes and were happy for the mother. ”

Emperor Xuanhe's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Those who are familiar with Emperor Xuanhe's temper know that this is what Emperor Xuanhe looked like when he was in a happy mood.

Emperor Zheng's heart sank suddenly, and a strong sour jealousy surged in her heart, mixed with anger and unwillingness.

Over the years, Queen Pei has been like a living dead. But in this way, Emperor Xuanhe did not have the idea of abolishing it. Now, Empress Pei's illness has improved, and Emperor Xuanhe is so happy......

Emperor Zheng swallowed this sour and bitter sullen breath hatefully, and said with a smile: "Niangniang has been sick for many years, and the concubine is in charge of the phoenix seal and takes care of the trivial affairs of the six palaces. Although it is a little harder, it may be a blessing for the concubine. ”

"Now Niangniang's phoenix body has improved. It stands to reason that the concubine should also return the phoenix seal to the Jiaofang Palace. It's just that the mother still has to meditate on the phoenix body, and it is not appropriate to worry about hard work. The concubines also hoped that the mother would get better as soon as possible, and did not want to disturb the peace of the mother with trivial matters in the palace. ”

The concubine thought, work hard for another year or two. Wait for the phoenix body to heal, and then return the phoenix seal. also returned the affairs of the six palaces to the mother. ”

"I don't know what the emperor wants?"

Emperor Zheng's concubines are all virtuous and virtuous for the sake of Queen Pei, if the harem concubines see it, they are afraid that they will laugh off their big teeth.

But such an obvious lie succeeded in making Emperor Xuanhe frown.

When a lie is repeated too much, it becomes as credible as the truth.

Emperor Zheng Guifei worked little by little, and the pillow wind blew for more than ten years. Emperor Xuanhe did not doubt that Emperor Zheng's concubine was worried about Empress Pei.

"You're right." Emperor Xuanhe thought for a while, and then said: "Right now, the queen should give priority to recuperation. The trivial matters in the palace, it is best that she doesn't have to worry about it, everything will be hard for the concubine. ”

Emperor Zheng's heart fell to the ground, revealing a subtle and decent smile: "These are all things that are within the concubine's responsibility, how dare you be hard." As long as the emperor can trust the concubines, and the mother can trust the concubines, the concubines will not be in vain. ”

……

That night, Emperor Xuanhe stayed in Zhongcui Palace.

The next morning, Emperor Zheng and Concubine Zheng did not come to say goodbye. Of course, the phoenix seal was not returned.

Empress Pei was not anxious at all, and accompanied by Cheng Jinrong, she went to the imperial garden for a long time.

Three days after the autumn hunt, the concubines who were named to accompany the harem were happy in their hearts, and there was no need to elaborate.

Let's not talk about whether autumn hunting can win the favor of the saint. It is also desirable to be able to go out of the palace to live in Huangzhuang for a while, see the scenery outside, and breathe the air outside the palace.

Concubine Wei Xian was quite depressed in her heart.

In the autumn hunt of previous years, although she could not accompany her, she also ended up on an errand acting for the sixth house. It's good this time, she doesn't have her share in anything.

Concubine Wei Xian was depressed, so she went to gossip with Concubine Gu. In and out of the words, it revealed the meaning of watching Empress Pei and Emperor Zheng fight for a good show: "...... Hearing that the queen wanted to get back the phoenix seal, the imperial concubine responded at that time. In the past two days, there has been no movement at all. ”

"The concubines who have a share of the escort in the harem are busy packing up and packing up, and they are busy going to thank Zhong Cui Palace. In the Jiaofang Palace, it was a lot deserted. ”

Empress Pei and Concubine Zheng competed with each other, each with their own advantages. Empress Pei is the queen of the middle palace, and her identity prevails. And Emperor Zheng's concubine, who has been operating in the palace for many years, knows Emperor Xuanhe's temperament and temper well.

As for the concubines in the palace, the only ones who really surrendered to Queen Pei were Luo Guiren, Zhao Guiren, and Xu Meiren. Emperor Zheng Guifei has been in control of the harem for many years, and Queen Pei stretched out her hand, and she couldn't suppress Emperor Zheng Guifei for a while.

Gu Shufei listened quietly, occasionally humming, and didn't say much.

Concubine Wei Xian had long been accustomed to Concubine Gu Shu's sullen temper, and she didn't take it to heart. After saying this, he sighed meaninglessly: "I really don't know if the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind." ”

Gu Shufei's eyes flashed slightly, and she laughed softly: "Whether it is the east wind or the west wind, we can hide farther away, this wind can't blow on you and me." ”

It's easy to put it.

The harem is surging, they are all concubines with princes or princesses, and it is not easy to stay out of the matter!

Concubine Wei Xian pursed her lips invisibly.

Concubine Gu Shu saw Concubine Wei Xian's disapproval in her eyes, and she didn't mind.

Concubine Wei Xian gave birth to five princes, and she always had some ambitions for the storage position in her heart. Fortunately, she gave birth to a daughter, as long as she is cautious and careful, she will not be involved in the battle for storage positions, and it will not be difficult to avoid the battle between the east wind and the west wind.

……

The day before the autumn hunt, Emperor Xuanhe came to the Jiaofang Palace.

"This autumn hunt, plus the round-trip journey, is half a month." Emperor Xuanhe's voice revealed a faint trace of concern: "The Zheng family travels with me, and the queen will have to worry about all the affairs of the harem." ”

"If the queen feels that she can't bear it, she can't hold it up, just tell Concubine Wei Xian to take care of the trivial things."

Empress Pei responded with a smile first, and then said with a rare smile: "In the eyes of the emperor, could it be that the concubine is weak and can't help the wind?" Can't even cope with the trivial things in the palace? ”

Emperor Xuanhe laughed dumbly.

It's not that he can't trust Queen Pei.

Queen Pei has been ill for many years, and she never asks about everything in the harem. He has long been accustomed to Empress Pei's "not asking about mundane things".

Empress Pei looked at Emperor Xuanhe and said softly: "The concubine wants to get back the phoenix seal, but Emperor Zheng and the concubine refuse, so she must have coaxed the emperor to nod her head and approve with words." For example, it is not advisable to worry about peace of mind. I don't know if it's yes or no? ”
