Occasionally, a cold wind blew through the pavilion, and everyone wore cloaks and white fox fur collars. Qing Concubine brushed away the hair left on her arm, lowered her eyes and sneered: "What's incomprehensible, after a long time, it naturally loses its freshness."

The emperor has always been wet with rain and dew, and he will never favor anyone alone, even if he is a concubine, there are times when he is left out in the cold. ”

Concubine Shun smiled: "Master Qing speaks, it's really straightforward. ”

Qing Concubine glanced at Concubine Shun and said: "It's me who lost her words, you are the person in front of Concubine Xian, and during the New Year, you helped the queen in Changchun Palace to take care of all the things in the harem, you must be dignified and steady, how can you be like me, clumsy." ”

Concubine Shun was angry in her heart, but it was not good to have a seizure in front of people, and after sitting for a while, she got up and said: "It's warm and cold at first, and I'm afraid that I will have a headache when I go back after blowing the wind for a long time." You talk, I'll go first. ”

When the others saw this, they were also discouraged, and they all dispersed. Concubine Shun returned to the side hall of Jingren Palace, and the queen sent someone to call her over. When she arrived at Changchun Palace, it was the roster of concubines who needed to be collected in the new year, and Concubine Shun flipped through the book, and saw that Su Guiren's reward was the same as that of Concubine Lu, so she wondered in her heart, so she quietly pointed to Shanrou and asked, "This is what the queen ordered?" ”

The queen happened to raise her head to drink tea, and when she heard Concubine Shun speak, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Concubine Shun replied: "The concubine saw the example of Su Guiren in the roster, which is the same as Concubine Lu. The queen smiled slightly and said, "I ordered it, Su Guiren is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and she deserves that little thing." ”

Concubine Shun didn't have time to think about it, and said: "The queen's generosity and generosity can make the six palaces harmonious and the concubines admire." ”

The queen looked at Concubine Shun peacefully, changed her words, and said, "The things before and after the year are all thanks to your help." If you want, I want you to move to Changchun Palace, because you are tired of walking around every day, and secondly, I really need someone to help. ”

Concubine Shun's face froze, she didn't dare to disobey her order, and got up and said, "Thank you for the grace of Queen Mother." ”

When the concubine left, Shanrou used the copper fetus to paint an enamel plate and presented four or five cloves of cut oranges, and said happily: "The oranges of the Guangxi Governor Xingong are only filial to the emperor, and there are a total of more than a dozen baskets in the palace, and we have four baskets in Changchun Palace." ”

The queen smelled the orange fragrance and was in a very good mood, and said, "Divide two baskets and send them to the palace masters to try them." He specially instructed, saying: "Su Guiren must not be treated badly, it is good to be the same as Concubine Lu." ”

Shanrou was puzzled and asked, "Su Guiren has fallen out of favor, why does the master still treat her so well?" The corners of the queen's mouth showed a faint chill, and then disappeared, and said quietly: "Snubbing is snubbing, but where have you seen the emperor and the concubine angry..." ”

After two or three days, the spring was bright, the clear blue sky was full of white clouds, and a line of birds fluttered their wings. The emperor admired several pots of blue peonies in the imperial garden of Jingren Palace, and Concubine Xian sat under the eaves of the corridor and watched the palace people move. From a distance, I saw a bright yellow shoulder coming, and hurriedly helped the palace maid to meet her, and bent her knees and said, "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

The queen helped her and said gently: "You are pregnant, you don't need to be polite, hurry up!" ”

Concubine Xian said: "Thank you for Queen Mother." ”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, walked to the warm pavilion, sat on the kang, and the queen said: "I have been busy for more than half a month, and I have to visit you in my free time today, and I have been remembering it in my heart." After a pause, he asked, "Have you been feeling refreshed lately?" ”

Concubine Xian replied: "I was a little nauseous during the meal, but everything on the side was fine." ”

The queen said "oops" and said, "Originally, I asked people to make two plates of sour plums, but when I came out, I was in a hurry, so I forgot about it." Wait a minute, I'll have someone bring you some. When I was pregnant with Yonglian, I loved to eat sour. ”

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward from Queen Mother." As he was talking, the scarlet magnolia pattern satin curtain was lifted, and a palace man held a rosewood wine and food box in his hand, knelt on the ground and said: "Qi Qi master, Xiao Xiangzi in Su Guiren Palace sent two drawers of sour plums." ”
