Chapter 224: Shun Concubine, who has risen to the top
On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the eighteenth year of Qianlong, at the banquet of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor officially decreed that the Jin Dynasty would make Shun nobles concubines, and move to Changchun Palace to live after the year. In addition, Jin Fengduo promised to be always there and moved to Jingyang Palace to live with Wan Concubine.
Concubine Shun has only been in the palace for three years, and she has been promoted from the position of Chang to the position of concubine, and the speed of this promotion is really amazing to others.
Beside the two big trees of the Queen Mother and the Queen, Concubine Shun really soared.
The concubines are envious, Shun Concubine is like her title, smooth sailing, and now even the hot Changchun Palace has given her, and this limelight is unmatched.
After the palace banquet, Concubine Ling and Concubine Shun returned to Yanxi Palace together.
That night, Concubine Shun coincided with the joy of Jinfeng, and drank a lot of wine during the banquet. After returning to the dormitory, Concubine Ling asked Yaqin to boil a bowl of sobering soup for her, and sighed with a smile: "I thought that the emperor was thinking of Empress Xiaoxian, and he easily refused to vacate Changchun Palace. I didn't expect that Sister Shun Concubine would have such a good blessing. It's just that if you move to Changchun Palace, you and I will be separated by the east and west palaces in the future, and it will not be as convenient to talk as it is now. ”
Concubine Shun said gratefully: "No matter what position the concubine gets, I will always remember that it was Niangniang who first pulled the concubine, so that the concubine can have today." ”
Concubine Ling smiled gently: "What about calling yourself a concubine?" After the New Year, it's time for you and me to be commensurate. ”
Concubine Shun replied shyly: "Yes." ”
The dim candlelight was projected on Concubine Ling's bright face, covering it with a layer of darkness, and in the gilded charcoal basin at her feet, the red Luo charcoal was burning vigorously, occasionally making a crackling sound, and little by little she was gray and old. Odd books
Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Changchun Palace is next to the queen's Yikun Palace, you will not be lonely if you fall in love with the queen's mother." ”
Concubine Shun responded thoughtfully, and a trace of anger in her eyes was also faded by the dark night.
After sitting for a while, the concubine went back to the side hall to rest.
Yaqin served Concubine Ling to sleep, and couldn't help but sigh: "Niangniang, you supported Concubine Shun to become the head of the first palace." But the slave looked at it, Niangniang, for Lafayette and for the emperor, you have done no less than the concubine, but you have not gained any benefits. ”
Concubine Ling slowly removed the jade earrings with three embedded ears, and said with a smile: "I am already a concubine, and there are two noble concubines on top of me, and the emperor can't break the ancestral system for me." Everything I do today is just so that the emperor and the queen mother can keep it in mind, and if there is a vacancy in the position of the concubine in the future, it will not fall into her hands. ”
Yaqin sighed: "The pure concubine Niangniang is thoughtful, buried in the palace, and she can't move easily. And Jia Guifei Niangniang is a 10,000-year-old silent character, Niangniang, you are waiting like this, I don't know when you have to wait? ”
Concubine Ling said lightly: "As soon as Concubine Shun leaves, I am really lonely." Yaqin, another day, you will bring the red coral in the warehouse, and we will go to the Chengqian Palace and walk around. ”
"Yes," Yaqin responded, and then said, "It is a good thing for Concubine Shun to go to Changchun Palace." After all, she hid others in her heart, staying in Yanxi Palace, and the servants were also worried. This is good, even if she makes any mistakes in the future, it will have nothing to do with our Yanxi Palace. ”
Yaqin's words were to the point, and it was precisely because of this that Concubine Ling spared no effort to push Concubine Shun to a high position. If you can borrow her hands to achieve what she wants, that is the most clever means.
Concubine Ling smiled meaningfully at her, went to bed peacefully, and when she woke up, the new year seemed to have hope again.
