Chapter Seventy-Four: Concubine Sheng
Qingning Palace.
"The nights in the palace are always so long and cold, and I gradually got used to it."
On the arhat couch in the house, Sheng Guifei sat on it and said to Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi who were below.
It is rumored that Concubine Sheng is favored by the sixth palace, how can the night in her palace be long?
Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi glanced at each other, and after looking at each other.
Mrs. Fang opened her mouth and went back and forth to Concubine Sheng.
"Niangniang is now in full bloom, and now she has a little prince by her side, today is just the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the official family must stay in the queen's palace as usual, otherwise they will also come to the Niangniang Palace."
Fang Niangzi is the most talkative among the few ladies who have just entered the palace.
Now it seems that it is not bad.
"The queen is the head of the six palaces, even if the palace favors the six palaces, it is difficult to cross the queen's mother. And the queen mother now has two princes, although the official family has not set up a prince, but the queen has taken advantage. ”
"He has a big official family, and what the queen mother says, she is also the queen mother. On that day, I don't know what kind of field you and I are. ”
Listening to what Sheng Guifei said on the Luohan couch.
Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi, who were sitting at the bottom, hurriedly knelt down and said in unison.
"The concubine said cautiously, now that the official family dragon is in good health, don't say such a big disrespectful word."
"This wall has ears, in case it is heard by the people on the queen's side, I am afraid that it will not be good for the concubine."
Du Niangzi couldn't help it, and reminded Sheng Guifei again.
Hearing what Du Niangzi said, Sheng Guifei lowered her head and looked at Du Niangzi carefully.
"I heard that Du Niangzi's mother's family is Hengguo Gong. Du Niangzi is the third lady of the Hengguo Mansion, the second son of your family, married the queen's niece, is there such a thing?"
Before Concubine Sheng finished speaking, Du Niangzi knelt down first and kowtowed again and again.
"Back to the words of the concubine, the concubine didn't know. This marriage is decided by the concubine's father and mother privately, and the concubine has no idea! ”
Sheng Guifei didn't care, and played with the emerald green and translucent jade wrench in her hand.
"It turns out that your father and mother are in charge of the decision, so you just said that the wall has ears, tell me to be careful, will you be the queen who planted eyeliner to listen to my news here."
As soon as Sheng Guogong's words came out, Du Niangzi was even more frightened and trembled.
Du Niangzi raised her head, glanced at Fang Niangzi beside her, and said.
"Sister Fang, you know who I am, I'm not the eyeliner that the queen mother planted, please help me explain to the concubine!"
Du Niangzi said, the fat powder on her face was already wet with tears pouring out, and those fat powder was pasted on Du Niangzi's face.
It looks scary.
Fang Niangzi turned her heart sideways, but she still opened her mouth.
"Concubine Niangniang, the concubine and Du Niangzi are like sisters, and the concubine dares to assure you that Du Niangzi is by no means the eyeliner planted by the queen's mother. If Du Niangzi is the eyeliner planted by the queen's mother, the concubine will not bring her over. ”
When she heard the words "love like sisters", Sheng Guifei suddenly let out an "oh".
"I didn't think about it, you are really like sisters!"
"But you have to remember, this is the palace. The sisters and sisters are talking and laughing, but they don't know how to calculate you behind their backs. In the palace, there are no sisters, only friends and enemies! However, even the best friends will become enemies because of differences of opinion and interests. ”
Hearing what Concubine Sheng said, Fang Niangzi also knelt down and pleaded for Du Niangzi.
Seeing the two of them kowtowing like pounding garlic, Sheng Guifei only felt bored.
"Good and dignified, kowtow what? Stand up and say something! I just mentioned it, don't care. ”
Hearing what Sheng Guifei said, Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi stood up as if relieved.
Sheng Guogong called his personal maid to bring the tea cup up, and suppressed the shock of the two of them.
"This is the silver bud willow that the official family personally appreciated, if you two don't dislike it, try it!"
"Where does the concubine dare to dislike the things here from the concubine? The things here are all things that the concubine has never seen before. ”
Fang Niangzi took a sip of tea and said.
"I heard that the county lord of Heyang has left the palace, but who is with him?"
Sheng Guifei glanced at the two people below and said.
Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi looked at each other for a long time before they said.
"When did the county lord leave the palace, the two concubines don't know."
"You two don't know?"
Sheng Guifei asked the two people below.
"The county lord of Heyang has always been friendly with the two of you, how can you two not know? And the county lord of Heyang helped the two of you once in front of the queen. Do you also say that you don't know when the county lord left the palace? ”
As soon as Concubine Sheng said this, Fang Niangzi's face suddenly became panicked.
"What the concubine said, the two concubines really don't know very well. How did the county lord help the two concubines in front of the queen?"
When Fang Niangzi spoke, Du Niangzi turned Fang Niangzi with her hand, as if reminding Fang Niangzi of something.
"Since you don't know, I'll find someone to read it to the two of you! Granny Hua, you can come in. ”
Granny Hua is Sheng Guifei's confidant.
Sheng Guifei's mother-in-law brought into the palace from the Sheng Mansion.
I only heard a few knocks, and the flower woman walked into the temple with a cane.
"I don't know if the concubine called the old slave over, what is the matter, and she wants to tell the old slave in person?" Granny Hua opened her mouth first.
"Let's talk to the two ladies, how did the county lord of Heyang help the two of them in front of the queen? They don't have a good memory, so you'll do it for you! ”
Sheng Guifei finished talking, and sat on the Luohan couch in the hall, looking ready to watch a play.
I saw Granny Hua take out an account book from her body and read it.
"Two months ago, Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi went to Kunning Hall together and invited the queen mother, Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi were a moment late and were punished by the queen mother. It was the county lord of Heyang who personally spoke, and in front of the queen's mother, interceded for the two ladies. I don't know these things, do you remember the two ladies?"
As soon as Granny Hua's voice fell, she closed the account book and said.
Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi looked at each other for a long time, and then knelt on the ground together.
"It's all the two concubines, they deceived the concubine Niangniang, and asked the concubine Niangniang to spare her life!"
Hearing the two of them say this, Sheng Guifei stood up and walked to Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi's side.
"You two, I don't know what to say about you? Don't you know that the people in this palace have always only had the same tongue and the same eyes? The reason why the county lord of Heyang left the palace must have been the two of you, right?"
"I know that the county lord of Heyang has always loved the little son of the Zhang family, and I coaxed the county lord of Heyang, saying that the little prince of the Zhang family went to the Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, and the two of you did it, right?"
Sheng Guifei said, the fierce look on her face gradually revealed.
"It's all two concubines, isn't it, please ask the concubine Niangniang to forgive the two concubines, right?"
Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi begged Sheng Guifei in unison.
"I want to forgive you both, but I'm afraid I can't. If something happens to the county lord of Heyang, if there are three long and two short, I will not spare the two of you. ”
Sheng Guifei said, summoned Granny Hua to her side, and after telling Granny Hua, she was ready to let Granny Hua call the palace maid to come in and drag the two of them down.
At this time, the mother-in-law's singing harmony suddenly came from outside.
"Aunt Xiaohan has arrived"
Xiaohan?
The female official who served the queen closely?
Sheng Guifei sat back in her place and waited for Xiao Han to come in.
After a while, a maid led Xiao Han into the house.
"The concubine is fine. The slave maid came on the orders of the queen mother to take Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi back to Kunning Palace. The queen has something to discuss with Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi. ”
Xiao Han looked at Fang Du and the others, who were still kneeling on the ground, and then his gaze fell on Sheng Guifei.
Sheng Guifei pretended not to hear what Xiao Han said, and just asked.
"The queen mother's body is much better? A few days ago, I heard that the queen's health has been bad, but I don't know how much better it is now?"
Since Concubine Sheng asked, Xiao Han simply replied truthfully.
"The queen's body has improved a lot. These days, Concubine Yu and Concubine Miao Xian are taking care of the queen, and the queen's body is much better. ”
"Really? That Concubine Yu and Concubine Miao Xian are really hard. It's amazing to be taken care of by the queen's side! ”
Sheng Guifei has rarely praised people, why is she boasting about people today?
There must be demons when things go wrong, so it's better to be cautious.
"Guifei Niangniang, if there is nothing to do, the slave maid took Fang Niangzi and Du Niangzi first, and returned to Kunning Palace, and the queen is still waiting for the slave and maid to go back to restore her life."
Sheng Guifei smiled and nodded.
He glanced at Granny Hua.
Granny Hua immediately understood what Concubine Sheng meant, and personally sent Fang Niangzi, Du Niangzi, and Xiao Han out together.
……
Listening to the sound coming from the ear room next door, as well as the shouts from the county lord of Heyang, Li Qian was ready to let Uncle Wu open the door and let him go out to save people.
"Uncle Wu, please let me out!"
Uncle Wu glanced at Sheng Mingyu behind Li Qian, and saw that the girl shook her head, obviously not letting Li Qian out.
"Li Gongzi, there are those bloodthirsty monsters outside the house, I can't just let Li Gongzi out! If Li Gongzi is let out, what if the group of monsters outside the house will come over again?"
"There are so many people in our house, could it be that Li Gongzi didn't care about the lives of the others here for the sake of one person."
It's not that he doesn't care about the lives of others.
It's just that the county lord of Heyang is too important to him.
He can't afford to lose the Lord of Heyang.
"I heard that what the county lord of Heyang likes is the little son of the British Gongzhang family, but I'm afraid it's not Li Gongzi, right? What is Li Gongzi doing in such a hurry?"
Sheng Mingyu asked Li Qian.
"Don't worry about me, let me out! I'm going to save Heyang, if the county lord has something long and short, I will definitely not let you go, Sheng Mingyu! ”
"Since you won't let me go, then I can't just let you out! If you want to go and see the county lord of Heyang, you can! Just don't risk the lives of so many of us here. It's just a Heyang county lord. ”
"What do you mean by just a Heyang county lord? The county lord can't have anything, absolutely can't have anything! If something happens to the county lord, I won't let you go! ”
Li Qian turned around and looked at Sheng Mingyu behind him.
"Risking the lives of so many of us here, I won't agree with you!"
Sheng Mingyu said viciously to Li Qian.
As the girl and Li Gongzi continue to argue, Fluttershy hurriedly speaks.
"Li Gongzi, girl, in fact, the two of you don't have to fight, in fact, you don't have to go through the door, you can go to the ear room next door. There is a door in this room that allows you to go to the ear room next door, but I can't push it alone, so I ask a few people to come and help me! ”
