Chapter 33: Concubine Yi gives gifts as a gesture of goodwill
After noon, as soon as Yingyun woke up from a nap, Anai told her that Concubine Yi had been waiting outside for nearly an hour.
Yingyun picked out a sea blue crane regular dress and put it on, and said with a light smile: "She's still quite positive, go and call her in." ”
"Yes."
When Concubine Yi heard the call, she entered with a smile and saluted in a proper manner: "The concubine pays a visit to the queen." ”
Ying Yun asked knowingly: "Why did Sister Yi Concubine come here at this time?" ”
Concubine Yi eagerly helped Yingyun get up, and then took her seat, and said, "The concubine came specially to ask the queen for her guilt." ”
Ying Yun motioned for her to sit down with her eyes in her eyes and said, "What is my sister's crime?" Sit down and speak slowly. ”
"Xie Niangniang." Concubine Yi sat down upright and said, "The concubine is clumsy, and she offended the queen mother a lot before. The concubine thought that you must have annoyed the concubine, so for many days, she didn't dare to go to Yikun Palace to disturb the concubine. But until today, the concubine knows that you are magnanimous and a model of motherhood, and the concubine is extremely ashamed. ”
As she spoke, Concubine Yi summoned the palace maid Xiangsui beside her to come to her, ordered her to open a sandalwood box she was holding, and said: "There are no good things in the concubine, just these deer antlers and sea cucumbers can still be used, I hope that Niangniang must accept them, so that you forgive the concubine when you are the concubine." ”
"Sister, you are polite, we are in the palace together, what are the words of forgiveness or not," Yingyun glanced at Anai and said, "If my sister says so, then the palace can only accept it." ”
Anai took the box and ordered it to be received in the storeroom.
Concubine Yi said: "The concubine has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she has never had the opportunity to be as close to her mother as she is today, which is really a pity for the concubine." Speaking of which, the concubine entered the palace three years later than the concubine, but she sealed the concubine early, and now she is even higher than the concubine, and the concubine only hates that she can't go to the concubine earlier, and she has wasted the time. ”
Yingyun knew her intentions and said slowly: "This palace understands my sister's thoughts, my sister has been in the concubine position for a long time, and she is not promoted, so she is depressed. This time with the Tangquan Palace, the palace is also taking into account the future of the younger sister, if you can take this trip to get an elder brother or princess, then next year will you not be able to sit on an equal footing with Concubine Ling? ”
Concubine Yi looked shy and said with a smile: "Niangniang, don't make fun of the concubines." ”
Yingyun said: "Sister, don't worry, between you and Concubine Ling, the palace is always biased towards your sister." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Yi was overjoyed, got up and bowed again, and said, "Concubine Xie Niangniang's grace." ”
The two gossiped a few more words, and Concubine Yi knelt down and returned to Yonghe Palace.
Compared with Yi Concubine's activity, Yanxi Palace did not have the slightest movement, making the concubine as chaste and quiet as usual.
"Mother." The palace maid Yaqin called her softly, lowered her head and whispered in her ear: "Yikun Palace came to report there, Fang Cai Concubine Yi Niangniang has been there, and she has made good friends with the queen's mother." Look, do we want to ......?"
"Do you want anything?" Concubine Ling smiled softly: "Concubine Yi is stupid, Concubine Chun has long been unwilling to see her, she thought the queen would accept her?" Look at it, she won't get any good from either end. ”。
Yaqin bowed her head and said: "What Niangniang said is, but the final decision on the trip to Tangquan is in the hands of the queen, if you don't do anything, won't you give up the great opportunity in vain?" ”
