Chapter 208: Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea
"You're worried about him, if you still have affection, why do you torture each other like this?" Fei Ranchu sighed and said meaningfully.
The corners of Xuanyuan Meng's mouth hooked up a wry smile, "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and you can't help it at all." If they had a choice, who would want to take that step? β
Fei Ranchu couldn't help but sigh, too, as a royal person, who has the right to choose?
"But because you don't have a choice, you have to cherish it even more."
Xuanyuan Meng shook his head with a wry smile and diverted the topic, "You've been sick for so long, but you can make your sister so happy." β
"Sister?" Fei Ranchu was puzzled for a moment, but when she saw Xuanyuan Meng's expression, she knew who she was referring to by her sister.
"I don't dare to have her sister, what, come and listen, why are you proud?" She asked curiously, back to the little girl who loved to gossip.
Xuanyuan Meng took a sip of tea, "How can you be proud, I just can't see anyone better, recently, I have had a little unpleasant trouble with Concubine Cui." β
"Isn't Concubine Cui the person next to the Queen Mother?" Fei Ranchu also took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and asked.
"What about the people around the Queen Mother, if you don't have the emperor's favor, you have to look at people's faces in this palace." Xuanyuan Meng saw it thoroughly, but it caused Fei Ranchu to laugh a few times.
Xuanyuan looked at her in confusion, and then she said: "Since Xuanyuan is so beautiful, why don't you compete for favor?" β
Xuanyuan Meng glared at her angrily, "You know my intentions, and you still make fun of me like this." β
"Okay, okay, let's talk about Concubine Cui." Fei Ranchu said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Meng was serious at this time, "Concubine Cui served the Queen Mother meritoriously, and the emperor rewarded a pair of glass lamps from Fannan Tribute Land, I heard that this glass lamp is extremely precious, and the light that emits it is like a transparent jade, and when the lights are turned off at night, you can still see it on." β
Hearing this, Fei Ran only understood what this glass lamp was, it must be just a luminous lamp? In modern times, it is everywhere, and it is almost becoming a child's toy.
"There is only one glass lamp, and it was sent to Mingyue Palace, do you think the one from Baihua Palace can swallow this breath? The day before yesterday, when I came to my palace to discuss matters, Concubine Xiang secretly mocked Concubine Cui for climbing her face and attaching her power, relying on the Queen Mother, and got a reward. Xuanyuan Meng sighed.
Concubine Cui was not happy, she didn't say anything on her face, but looking at her face, it wasn't very good. No, today the Queen Mother called the one from the Baihua Palace on the grounds that the queen was sick and rectified the harem, saying that she had copied the Buddhist scriptures and had a good meditation. So, these two are on the bar. β
Fei Ranchu listened and thought carefully, although Fei Jiqing was a little arrogant, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would stand up for Concubine Cui, "What did the Queen Mother find to punish Fei Jiqing?" β
Xuanyuan dreamed, "It seems that as a concubine, she is anxious or something, anyway, the Queen Mother wants to punish people, so it's not simple?" Just find an excuse and send it away. β
That's right, Fei Ranchu nodded, this Concubine Cui will have to be careful in the future, although she seems to have no quarrel with the world on the surface, but from the point of view that she went to treat the Queen Mother, she knew that this person was thoughtful and not a master to be messed with.
"Then how is Concubine Cui now?"
"It's still like that, it's just that it's a little more momentum now, and it's not as easy to bully as before."
Xuanyuan Meng said lightly, "This person, that's it, as soon as he gains a little momentum, he wants to raise his tail to the sky." β
After Xuanyuan Meng left, Fei Ranchu thought for a while about the Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern Xuanguo, everything is changeable, and the spies of the Southern Xuanguo killed their royal family, but in the blink of an eye, the two countries formed an alliance, and it was really nothing in front of their own interests.
Before Fei Ranchu's illness was completely cured, Zhao Lulu, the general of Zhao Yufeng's personal expedition to the west, was about to set off, and on the day he left, Xuanyuan Meng knelt in the Buddhist hall for a long time, and there was only one thought in his heart, hoping that Zhao Lulu would return safely.
Before the beginning of spring, Fei Ranchu's illness was completely cured, and she began to be alive and kicking again, which naturally made some people unhappy.
Fei Jiqing was arrogant for a few days, and was cut by the Queen Mother, which made her linger all the time, remembering that Concubine Cui, who was weak on the surface, was disgusted, and she had to think of this breath.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the beautiful nobleman who had always wanted to cling to me before, so I sent someone to call someone over.
"Li Guiren, you have been a noble person for a long time, but you have not been promoted." Fei Ji said lightly.
Li Guiren lowered his head, "The emperor may not be in the concubine palace for a long time." She thought that Fei Jiqing called her because she asked the emperor to come and see her.
Fei Jiqing smiled, "If someone is blocking your way, you naturally won't be able to go up." β
"Huh?" Li Guiren was a little puzzled, but he immediately reacted in the next second, "Niangniang is talking about Concubine Cui?" β
"She's been in the palace long enough, and she's been sitting in this position long enough." Fei Jiqing's eyes lit up, and he exuded Sensen's ruthlessness.
Li Guiren bit her lip and responded, "The concubine understands." But she understands more in her heart that in this situation, only by obeying Fei Jiqing in everything, can she have a bright future, as long as Concubine Cui is brought down, then the next concubine may be her.
It's just that everything is that she thinks too naΓ―vely.
A few days later, Xiang Guifei also fell ill, saying that it was quite serious, and even getting out of bed became difficult, which was similar to the symptoms before Fei Ranchu. After that, there were rumors in the palace that it was a disease and that it might be contagious, and it became more and more outrageous, and finally it was rumored that something unclean was at work.
As a modern person, Fei Ranchu naturally didn't believe in these things, she was sick before because of a cold, and there was no Western medicine or anything in ancient times, so it could only be slowly regulated by Chinese medicine, so it was better slowly, where could there be anything unclean, so there was no more jurisdiction.
But I didn't expect this matter to get bigger and bigger, and it actually alarmed the Queen Mother. also gave an order to clean up the harem, but there was no way, Fei Ran did it.
First, each palace sprinkled the holy water to ward off evil spirits, and then burned green bamboo, in Dongzhao, green bamboo means mascot, burning green bamboo, meaning to drive away evil evils, please ask for peace, this is the same as the ancient Chinese New Year's Eve, using firecrackers to catch the New Year, and then invited the master to come to the palace to send the Buddha to chant the scriptures, which is regarded as praying for the Empress Dowager.
The concubines of each palace naturally accompanied them to pray in the Buddhist hall, and they were attentive to their minds, but a little palace maid hurriedly came to tell a thing, and after Fei Ran heard it for the first time, her face changed greatly, and it was very ugly.
