The first autumn wind in the Forbidden City struck, instantly driving away the rolling heat wave, and it became colder and colder in the morning and evening, and it was the crisp day of autumn.

Occasionally, one night, it rained all night, and the raindrops fell on the yellow glazed tiles of the palace, making a crackling sound. When the morning dawned, the rain stopped for a while, and the palaces did not miss the time to go to Yikun Palace to ask for peace.

Yingyun accepted the invitation of the concubines, and talked a few words of gossip as usual.

Concubine Yu casually mentioned it and said: "Queen Mother, it rained heavily last night, and the courtyard was full of dead leaves when I got up in the morning. Emperor Shujia was the most clean when she was alive, and now like this, some of the concubines have the feeling of walking away from tea. ”

Ying Yun looked at Anai and asked, "Chengqian Palace has no lord now, which little masters live in the side halls?" ”

Regarding the layout of the harem, Yingyun can't remember who lives at all, but Anai has a good memory, and it's right to ask her something.

Anai said: "Back to Niangniang, the east side of the Chengqian Palace is inhabited by Yu Chang in peace, and the west side hall is inhabited by Lin Guiren. ”

"Lin Guiren?" Yingyun's memory, searching in her mind, can't remember this person.

Anai replied fluently, "It is the little lord who was promoted at the same time as Qing Concubine Niangniang and Ying Concubine Niangniang on Chinese New Year's Eve in the fifteenth year. ”

Yingyun suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something going on, but she still didn't have much impression.

"Then Lin Guiren will temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Qiangong Palace," Yingyun thought, and then ordered, "From Ming'er, set up a seat for Lin Guiren, and allow her to enter the palace to ask for peace." "Bunny Fly

Anai replied, "Yes." ”

Concubine Ling sighed: "As soon as the imperial concubine Shujia left, the relics of the main hall have not been touched, and the palace maid Qiongfang, who has served the imperial concubine's life, also asked the concubine to ask on her behalf, I don't know what to do with the things left by the imperial concubine?" ”

Yingyun thought for a while and said, "Those are the private belongings of the imperial concubine during her lifetime, and when she is free, she should pick them up." Yonghui, the son of the imperial concubine, has been released, so he will send his mother's relics to the prince's mansion, so as to give him a thought. ”

Concubine Ling sighed: "It's still the queen's mother, you think it through." ”

Yingyun said again, "What the imperial concubine left behind is valuable, and the minions below are clumsy, and it is not good if there is damage." Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling, you two should do things safely, and they are next to Chengqian Palace, so you will watch it, don't miss anything important. ”

Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling agreed to this matter together.

After everyone dispersed, Yaqin helped Concubine Ling on her shoulders, glanced at Concubine Yu not far away from the corner of her eyes, and whispered: "Niangniang, Concubine Yu Niangniang has always ignored harem affairs, how can she seem to have changed her temperament today, and she is the only one who mentioned Chengqian Palace?" ”

Concubine Ling smiled lightly: "Concubine Yu has been silent for many years, I'm afraid it's a thought." ”

Yaqin asked puzzledly: "The emperor doesn't want to see Concubine Yu, what else can she think?" ”

Concubine Ling smiled lightly: "For Yongqi!" What do you think, the eldest brother and the third elder brother have no hope, and the fourth elder brother has succeeded him, but the fifth elder brother Yongqi has become the eldest son of the emperor in the emperor's mind. Yongqi is also a civil and military person, Lafayette and the emperor have high hopes, Concubine Yu should not work hard, find a good position for herself, and fight for a decent place for Yongqi. ”

Yaqin suddenly puzzled and said, "Concubine Yu, is she coveting the position of the concubine?" ”
