The summer of the Forbidden City is in full swing, and walking on the long palace road, I can clearly feel the heat in front of me steaming up waves of white waves. The sound of cicadas was noisy day and night, and there were several pots of ice urns in the dormitory of Yikun Palace, but they still couldn't resist the heat.

Yingyun is pregnant, and she is more and more afraid of heat, and she often can't sleep at night.

The emperor thought about it for a while and decided to take her to live in Chengde Summer Resort for a while. Of course, his banner is 'Raising the Queen Mother Lafayette to go to the villa for summer vacation', and he is really a model of filial piety in the world.

This time it was a temporary idea, so the pomp was not grand, only escorted by the imperial guards, the capital infantry battalion opened the way, and the emperor took the queen mother and the queen to Chengde together.

On the day of the royal drive from the palace, the concubines were going to send off as usual, and seeing the bright yellow royal car slowly leaving, Yi Concubine, who was standing in the back, complained softly: "I thought that the queen mother had a body, and the emperor could always take a look at us, this is good, the emperor took the queen and left together, and he didn't bring a single concubine." ”

Concubine Yu was closest to her, glanced at her, and said, "Concubine Yi should be cautious." ”

Because of her position, Concubine Yi had no choice but to give her a blessing and respond in a muffled voice.

Concubine Ling played the round and said with a smile: "Okay, the emperor is gone, and those of us who stay in the palace are our own sisters, don't be angry for this little thing." ”

Concubine Yu looked at Concubine Ling with admiration, smiled indifferently, and took the palace maid Yujin back to Jingren Palace first.

When Concubine Yu walked away, Concubine Yi said angrily: "Concubine Yu, what is she arrogant? I only told the truth a few words, and she protected the queen like this. When the queen gives birth to a concubine next year, she thinks her Yongqi can still enter the emperor's eyes? ”

Qing Concubine said: "Sister don't say a word, Concubine Yu has a fifth elder brother by her side, what do we have?" Once there is no holy grace, it is a lonely one. ”

As soon as these words came out, the concubines who did not give birth to the princess and princess were all sad. In fact, whether there is a holy favor or not is secondary, and having no heirs is the greatest sorrow for the survival of the harem.

For example, Concubine Yi, when she first entered the palace, the scenery was so good, but in just a few years, the emperor left her behind, but don't blame her for her own stomach and loss of grace, there is really nothing.

The gathered concubines gradually dispersed, and the concubines caressed the white jade railing in front of the Taihe Palace, and under the scorching sun, their hands were still cold. She stared into the distance, her thoughts wandering.

was able to be in the concubine position, but she is still hanging on her knees, and she is the only one in the harem.

As the sun draws into dusk, the sunset pulls her shadow long, cast on the white marble platform, and is distracted. The palace maid Yaqin stood with her for a long time, and finally persuaded her: "Niangniang, let's go back too, don't let the scorching sun spoil it." ”

Concubine Ling said dejectedly: "The queen is about to give birth to a concubine, whether the body of this palace is good or not, what is the use?" ”

Yaqin rarely saw Concubine Ling so depressed, and persuaded softly: "Don't be discouraged, the days are still long." Think about it, from Taizu Taizong to Holy Ancestor Shizong, which successor monarch is the prince of the descendant? What's more, the queen's mother may not necessarily be a little brother ......."

Concubine Ling listened to her words, and her spirit lifted slightly, yes, she shouldn't just give up so easily. She was a noble person who was crowned by Qianlong at the beginning of ten years, but after five or six years, she has already secured the position of concubine, which can already be envied by countless people.
