Chapter 343
Before coming to the Qinzheng Palace, Xia Rongxin changed into a phoenix crown and xia veil, although she was reluctant to give up on this gorgeous dress at this time, she knew that there were more important things to do at the moment - after Lu Fushuang died, looking at the entire palace, where else was there more suitable for the position of this queen than Xia Rongxin?
At that time, many concubines were talking behind their backs, saying that as long as Empress Mingxian was buried, Concubine Mei, that is, Xia Rongxin at that time, would soon ascend to the throne.
Those people, as if they deliberately wanted to say it to Xia Rongxin, would say some such things when they were walking in the Imperial Garden, and Xia Rongxin at that time just listened to this kind of words.
Many concubines deliberately came to Xia Rongxin Palace, flattering Concubine Mei, who may be the future queen of the Middle Palace, and watching her peach blossoms bloom in the garden, it happened to be the best auspicious day of the year......
Xia Rongxin remembered very well that in the winter seven years ago, Lu Fushuang had been dead for a year, and the harem was all taken care of by Concubine Mei and several noble concubines, and there was no master of the harem.
There is no owner in the harem, and there are also officials in the court who have talked about this kind of thing, saying that the country cannot be without an owner for a day, and the harem cannot be without a queen for a day, those officials are naturally instigated by Xia Rongxin to do this, not to mention that at that time, Qi Jingyang was decadent and ignorant, Rao is a newly married lord of Shuzhong, the lord of the county and the head of the hundred officials, Lu Gaohong, is still like that, in the end, it is still like that, Qi Jingqin is low-key in the court, and the emperor is full of praise, Xia Rongxin feels that he has hope to ascend to the throne.
It was also at that time that Xia Rongxin was not single-mindedly urging Qi Jingqin to compete with Qi Jingyang, but also participated, after seeing Qi Jingyang marrying Zhao Peiyu, seeing that Qi Jingyang not only had Lu Gaohong's help at that time, but also had the help of the king of Shuzhong, even if Qi Jingyang was incompetent and absurd, there were many people who supported him, which had a lot to do with the influence of Lu Gaohong and the king of Shuzhong in the court.
Xia Rongxin's mother's home is far away in Qinhuai, although it is a water town, but it is not the richest and most important pass in the Central Plains, not to mention that Xia Rongxin's father and brother are all on errands in Qinhuai, and they are not considered to be court officials, which does not help Qi Jingqin and Qi Jingyang's concubines to fight, above the Shangjing court, Xia Rongxin has been in Shangjing for several years, and has not had time to play in Shangjing, so she has been imprisoned in this square inch of the palace, thinking about her own steps every day, for fear that something will happen to you, Qi Jingqin and Qi Wangshu's two children are unprotected, and it is very difficult to save their lives, let alone gain a firm foothold in the Shangjing Imperial Court, so seeing that Qi Jingyang has won a lot of help in politics after marrying Zhao Peiyu, he also sought a princess who could help Qi Jingqin politically for Qi Jingqin, and after five or six years passed, he finally found Liang Huanqing.
But at that time, Xia Rongxin really thought that she could ascend to the back position, not to mention that He Sheng, the manager of Qibin Qi Bingyu's side, had always been thinking about her friendship and always spoke for her from time to time, after all, now the harem affairs really need someone to assist in managing them, and they always rely on those few mothers, so they are always too tired.
Qi Bingyu listened to this at the time, on that winter day seven years ago, he personally walked on the snow to go to Yichun Palace, at that time, everyone thought that the emperor was going to canonize the queen, so they passed the news to Yichun Palace, even Xia Rongxin was so stupid to think.
Who knows, the emperor just heard that the harem has no owner and no one in charge, so he felt that there was something wrong, and he specially came to Yichun Hall to let Xia Rongxin help take charge of the harem, no sealing, no promotion, just one more right to hold the power of the harem, and later He Sheng told her that it is now the three-year mourning period of Empress Mingxian, and the emperor's old feelings will not be re-established no matter what, he said this, as if everyone accepted this situation.
Xia Rongxin can only wait until three years later to talk about this matter, during the three years, she will count more than a year day and night, with the power to take charge of the harem, she can cover the harem with one hand, she customized a set of queen's phoenix crown for herself, in this life she did not wear a phoenix crown and wear a xia curtain to marry Liangjun, but now she is not too far away from the queen's position, so she has been waiting, waiting for the expiration of the three-year mourning period, Qi Bingyu will crown her as the queen, above 10,000 people, all the courtiers bow down to the ministers, The identity of the mother of the Celestial Empire is really desirable.
At that time, when she made that set of phoenix crown xia curtains, Yun Xi also laughed at her, saying that it would be very old-fashioned after three years of style, but Xia Rongxin felt very happy, as long as she waited a little longer, she would get the result she wanted.
The set of phoenix crown and xiaxia queen's court clothes has been made for more than a year, and when she got it, Xia Rongxin didn't dare to wear it, saying that she wanted to leave the first time she wore it to the post-sealing ceremony, and she always thought that there would be such a thing as a post-sealing ceremony.
But three years later, Qi Bingyu didn't mention this matter, no one mentioned it, everyone seemed to be used to the life of the harem without the master of the middle palace, when talking about it, Qi Bingyu would ask her, the title is just that, is it so important?
That's right, Xia Rongxin was the highest-ranking concubine in the harem at that time, and also had the power to run the harem, with a son and a daughter, Qi Jingqin was even more responsible in the court, what else did she want, she wanted too much, others would always say that she was too greedy, how could a show girl from a small place covet that position, there were too many people in the palace who were better than her family background, and it was inevitable that Xia Rongxin would be afraid when she was in charge of the harem, worried about bumping into someone and affecting Qi Jingqin, who was on an errand in the court.
Xia Rongxin endured humiliation for many years, and the phoenix crown and xia also pressed at the bottom of the box for many years, until in recent years, Qi Bingyu only favored her, and only then did she have the opportunity to marry Liang Huanqing as Princess Jing.
Xia Rongxin has never forgotten the set of phoenix crown xia veils under the box, she always thought that she could stand beside Qi Bingyu after wearing it, and announce to everyone in the world that this is the queen of the Celestial Empire, but it is obvious that Qi Bingyu does not want to do this.
After going through so many things, Xia Rongxin has long given up the idea of wearing a phoenix crown and a xia curtain to ascend to the back seat, she doesn't want to rely on Qi Bingyu anymore, she wants to be the master of the imperial city herself, and she must have an identity that will not be easily changed.
Before replacing the phoenix crown and the veil, she looked at herself in the mirror and looked sideways. Dyeing the pearlescent of the Shao stream. Slightly raised, but the moon is bent and bent. Ze's lips were cool and stretched a wisp of beauty, and the teeth were faintly displayed, but there were tears in his eyes.
Dressed in a red scarlet Luo gold thorn five phoenix Ji clothes, a color palace makeup thousand leaves to save gold peony jewelry, branches and leaves wrapped in gold, holding out a huge red gold double petal and peony coil collar on the neck, the whole person seems to be gilded with a faint layer of halo, the palace is majestic, very luxurious and dazzling. Wearing a one-color rose red and gold double-layered long tail robe with wide silk, the whole body is only decorated with Lantian fat jade, which is light and heavy. With a lighter color of crimson and silver thread embroidered palace clothes, the smooth posture of the jade color printed dark silver moire makes her figure more and more elegant, which is only decorated with tourmaline......
"Yun Xi, take it off for the main palace." Xia Rongxin looked at herself in the mirror, exhaled deeply, and then opened her arms and said to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi has been serving by Xia Rongxin's side, how can she not know Xia Rongxin's thoughts, although she is in a high position in the harem, she has also enjoyed the favor of the special room, even Lu Fushuang was blushing at Yichun Hall when she was there, after Lu Fushuang died, Xia Rongxin was even more unstoppable, but why was it so painful? 0
Even if Lu Fushuang is dead, Qi Bingyu still has her in his heart, although Qi Jingyang is absurd, but as soon as Lu Gaohong mentions Lu Fushuang, Qi Bingyu will not blame him too much, even Lu Huiling is so ridiculous and violates the taboo, it is just exiled to Ningguta.
Xia Rongxin has completely lost since entering the palace, and her self-esteem has been thrown in the snow for many years, kneeling in the snow to ask Qi Bingyu for forgiveness, but Qi Bingyu hurried to the prison to see Lu Huiling for the last time - probably he will never meet someone like Lu Fushuang again in this life.
His hurried footsteps shattered her self-esteem.
From that moment on, Xia Rongxin never moved the mind of wearing the phoenix crown and xia veil to be his queen, and now wearing it, it is just to give his former self a result, he has waited for so long and has not waited, and finally he doesn't want to wait, and now he wears the phoenix crown and xia veil, and nothing has happened.
Xia Rongxin looked at herself in the mirror, one or two gray hairs had already appeared on her sideburns, and Shaohua was fleeting......
"Yun Xi?" Xia Rongxin saw that Yun Xi still didn't move to change her clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and turned to look at her.
Seeing Yun Xi silently wiping his tears behind him, Xia Rongxin raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The slave just thinks about Niangniang's life, it's too hard......" When Yun Xi saw Xia Rongxin wearing a phoenix crown, she thought that this should have belonged to her, but now she was secretly pretending to be in the house, for fear of being discovered by others, and she was really wronged.
Xia Rongxin smiled, looked at Yun Xi with her eyes, and then said, "Don't worry...... Hongu will take back everything he has lost. ”
The phoenix crown under the box is her former longing, but also her current ambition, from the moment she took it out, Xia Rongxin, who was once only yearning for a lifetime and a couple, has long ceased to exist, taking advantage of Qi Bingyu's serious illness this time, her ambition burst out, revealing the water, and her eyes were written with the determination to be achieved.
Yun Xi raised her hand to wipe some tears, she had followed Xia Rongxin for a lifetime, it was absolutely impossible to betray her, and now that it was the most critical time, she couldn't live up to Xia Rongxin's trust in her.
Xia Rongxin nodded, then slowly turned around, looked at herself in the mirror, and finally glanced at herself nostalgically, and said: "I used to be in the back position, but it was too stupid, the queen mother is the real winner, I didn't understand the palace before, I just thought that the queen could be an upright companion, but I didn't expect that now I can do it in the position of a concubine, what is it, or depending on the emperor's favor." Hongu doesn't want to live just looking at other people's faces anymore...... It's so tiring......"
She looked at herself in the mirror, now that Shaohua is fleeting, she no longer has the energy to meet one heartache moment after another, now that Qi Jingyang has been deposed, Qi Bingyu is seriously ill, and she is only one last step away, she can't let Qi Bingyu wake up......
Yun Xi stepped forward to dress her up, because the emperor was seriously ill, when he went to visit, it was not appropriate to wear too grand and bright.
Xia Rongxin wore a slightly simple plain white long brocade robe, embroidered a strange and strong branch on the fabric with dark brown silk threads, and embroidered a plum blossom with peach threads, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightened the thin waist, showing a slender figure, but also gave people a sense of elegance and luxury, wearing a light purple open gauze coat, every move attracted some sparkling and flowing feeling, and a piece of jade jade pendant was tied around the waist, adding an elegant atmosphere. He carried a milky white jade bracelet on his hand.
A surprisingly long hair with purple and white ribbons curled out a slightly complicated hairstyle, it really lived up to this beautiful and surprising hair, the hair was smeared with some rose essence, exuding a charming fragrance, the hair was inserted with a jade hosta, ingenious made into the appearance of green bamboo with leaves, it really made people think that she brought a green bamboo on her head, the thin and long bangs in front of the forehead were neat and rigorous, and the willow eyebrows were painted with carbon black, and the skin was fair and delicate. The charming and charming Danfeng eyes are full of brilliance between the eye waves, and the pink rouge is applied to make the skin appear white and red.
The lips are simply smeared with light red lip red, the whole face looks particularly beautiful, simple and elegant, charming and graceful, the elegant jade face is often painted with light plum blossom makeup, the original special glass and beautiful face has faded because of becoming a woman and the immature youth shows a trace of charm, hooking the soul, like a fairy style and a face that captivates the country and the city, and the fairy who is contaminated with the dust of the dust is like another man who suddenly lost his soul, but the most memorable thing is that pair of brilliant starlight eyes, the bright eyes belong to the pale blue, A shallow smile can attract tens of millions of people, and there is always a faint and clear natural mint fragrance behind him.
Qi Bingyu didn't like her to dress up like this, she looked too charming and moving, and she lost the dignity of the lord of the harem, but Xia Rongxin thought about it, she is not the master of the harem now, and he has no chance to see it after all, so it is better to follow his own temperament and wait until one day he becomes the queen mother, then it is another matter.
Yun Xi helped Xia Rongxin to come to the Qinzheng Palace, the three layers of the Imperial Forest Army outside the door were guarded, and the steps of the Qinzheng Hall were full of imperial doctors, just when Xia Rongxin was about to step forward, Liang Huanqing's voice came from behind her: "Mother." ”
Xia Rongxin turned around and felt a little surprised when she saw Liang Huanqing, and then asked, "Huanqing?" Are you feeling better? ”
"Thanks to Imperial Doctor Shentu, Erchen's health is much better." Liang Huanqing Shi Ran bowed down, and Xia Rongxin hurriedly supported her.
"Hey~ At this time, don't care about these etiquette. Your body matters. Xia Rongxin said, but her eyes looked at the Qinzheng Palace, and she whispered: "I don't know what year this year is, such things have happened inside and outside the palace, the emperor is seriously ill, which really worries the palace." ”
Liang Huanqing looked at Mei Guifei's face, she obviously came out of the Jingwang Mansion much earlier than herself, and she came in a hurry, she was in the palace for more than half an hour, but she was so late, thinking about it at the spring banquet, the emperor and Mei Guifei had almost no communication, thinking that Mei Guifei had already lost the emperor in her heart.
And now I came to the Qinzheng Palace, most of them came to see because I heard that Qi Jingyang was deposed and the emperor was seriously ill.
Both of them are the most important women around Qi Jingqin, and at this time, Liang Huanqing naturally understands what Xia Rongxin is thinking, and what she thinks in her heart is also what Liang Huanqing thinks in her heart.
"Mother, my father is very old, and he has already become ill from hard work, and now because of illness, it is good to take a rest." Liang Huanqing whispered in a voice that could be heard between them, "There are princes and fathers in the court, why should the mother and concubine worry......"
When Xia Rongxin heard this, a flash of lightning flashed in her mind, her eyes widened in astonishment, and she turned her head to look at Liang Huanqing......
