Chapter 308: Talking nonsense
Xu Xiangjin felt that Zhan Qing was simply talking nonsense, but there was really no other way to do this situation at the moment, and Xu Xiangjin suddenly thought that as the concubine of the former emperor, Concubine Rong could not only give birth to an heir, but also be as safe and sound as her, and staying in this harem was definitely not a good stubble.
However, she is one thing different from the Queen Mother, the emperor is not her son, so she doesn't have to worry about the throne, so naturally she is not so hostile to her, maybe she can get any information from her.
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Xiangjin immediately came to his senses, stuffed the half of the pastry he was holding in his hand directly into his mouth, and then drank all the tea in Zhanqing's cup, slapped the table and stood up, and the gloom just now disappeared in an instant.
"You are really a person who wakes up in a dream, Concubine Rong must know her son very well, anyway, I've been bored lately, and I haven't had time to visit Concubine Rong yet, so it's really rude, so take this opportunity to go."
Zhan Qing watched Xu Xiangjin come in a hurry, leaving in a hurry, smiled helplessly, and continued to play in his hand, since Xu Xiangjin came here, he couldn't read a word, he had to hurry up.
Xu Xiangjin knew that Concubine Rong was eating fasting and chanting Buddha in Yonghe Palace now, and she shouldn't have anything she wanted, so she made some delicious pastries and sent them over, although these pastries were not difficult to make, but after all, she learned them in modern times, and they were better than having a unique taste and being able to eat a freshness.
Compared with the majesty of Cining Palace, Xu Xiangjin felt that this Yonghe Palace was more comfortable, and when he entered the palace gate, he even forgot that this was still in the palace.
"Trouble this sister to report, the poor concubine asks to see!"
The whole Yonghe Palace was quiet, Xu Xiangjin turned to the back and saw a few palace maids dozing at the door, it seemed that they were idle enough, and when she got closer, the door guarded by the palace maid suddenly opened, and a palace maid who seemed to be of a higher level came out of it, and she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Please wait a moment, the concubine is chanting now, it is really not appropriate to disturb, but it will be over soon."
Sure enough, what kind of master there is, the character of the people in her palace will develop in which direction, although this palace maid looks young, but the tone and bearing of her voice are obviously different.
In fact, it was said that he had to wait, but Xu Xiangjin didn't wait long at all, and was soon invited in.
"The concubine disturbed the concubine, so I made some pastries to apologize, but the concubine really couldn't figure out some things, so I came to ask the concubine."
"You don't have to be so polite to me, I rarely have people here, and your visit can be regarded as adding excitement to my place, and I can't be happy yet."
Concubine Rong has been in the palace for most of her life, and it is still easy to see what kind of person Xu Xiangjin is, especially after eating the pastries she made, she is even more appreciative, and her impression is even better.
"Niangniang, this is about to be the birthday of the thirteenth prince, now I am married to Your Majesty, the thirteenth prince is also my younger brother, this is my first birthday to celebrate him, I am really a little uncertain, I don't know what gift to give him he will like, so I can only run this way."
As soon as she heard that this trip was actually for her son, thinking of the thirteenth prince who was already on the road and was about to return, Concubine Rong's happy eyes narrowed.
"Actually, you don't need to prepare any expensive gifts, An'er has suddenly become obsessed with calligraphy and painting in recent years, you just need to find him a pair casually, he must be happy, it doesn't matter what the gift is, as long as the heart can arrive."
"Tell me more, now the concubine finally has a direction!"
Fortunately, what he likes is not some strange things, relatively speaking, calligraphy and painting are better to find, the big deal is that she wastes some effort and collects some unique brushwork.
Now that one thing has finally been resolved, Xu Xiangjin is finally relieved, but since they have all come here, if they don't inquire about some private news, they will inevitably feel a little lost.
But after all, it was about the emperor, and it was really inconvenient to say it too obviously, so she could only turn around and inquire, but Concubine Rong seemed to understand what she wanted to say, but she didn't want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of this palace, and always pretended not to know, and Xu Xiangjin could only give up.
………
Although Xu Xiangjin's surroundings seem to be quiet, there are countless pairs of eyes staring, especially Concubine Ling, for fear that there will be a time when she will be lost, she sends people to Yong'an Palace where Xu Xiangjin lives every day, so when she goes to Concubine Rong, the palaces will immediately receive the news, for fear that Xu Xiangjin will have a good relationship with Concubine Rong at that time, and there will be an extra helper in the palace at that time.
So Concubine Ling took the lead and specially brought a few people together to visit Concubine Rong on the grounds of the birthday of the Thirteenth Prince.
Although Concubine Rong seems to have stopped asking about things, in fact, she has not lost any news in the palace, and naturally knows that as long as Xu Xiangjin goes to her place, there will be an endless stream of people here next, so she simply leaves the palace door wide open, ready to deal with the upcoming palace concubines, so when Concubine Ling and they went, she was not surprised at all, but asked people to prepare tea.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, maybe it's not as comfortable as you are in the palace, I don't know if you come all the way to my old woman, what's the matter?"
Even if the first emperor is dead, Concubine Rong has no real power, but as long as she is still a concubine, even the queen will not dare to be disrespectful to her, let alone these concubines, naturally they all put away their momentum and look particularly well-behaved and obedient.
This Concubine Rong has already asked, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't dare to take the lead in speaking, they could only look at Concubine Ling, after all, she was the leader.
Concubine Ling could only stand up and salute, "If you go back to the concubine Niangniang, a few of us came because of the birthday of the thirteenth prince, and we knew that the thirteenth prince was coming back soon, so I came to congratulate the mother." ”
It's not the first time that the thirteenth prince has celebrated his birthday in this palace, and I haven't seen them so active in previous years, so the purpose is not too obvious.
However, on the surface, they are also under the banner of celebrating their son's birthday, and they are not doing anything excessive now, so Concubine Rong naturally entertains her with a good voice.
"All palaces don't have to bother so much, just like in previous years, just talk about their hearts, and don't need to give too expensive gifts."
Concubine Rong took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and said with a smile, which could be said to be leaky, and she didn't even give them a chance to ask.
Just like when Xu Xiangjin came, Concubine Rong didn't reveal any news about her to these people, and Concubine Ling could only take that group of people with her, and she would go back as she could.
………
Xu Xiangjin originally planned to collect some more famous calligraphy and paintings to send to the Thirteenth Prince, but Zhan Qing poured a basin of cold water on her.
"I heard that the thirteenth brother has liked these calligraphy and paintings since a long time ago, he has nothing to do in the fiefdom, and his greatest interest is to let people help him collect calligraphy and paintings everywhere, the amount collected over the years is simply countless, presumably even if you look for it, it is very likely that he has already found it with great difficulty, and it is even more unlucky, and it is possible to collect pirated copies."
Xu Xiangjin's high-spirited flame was instantly extinguished by him, and the whole person suddenly fell.
"You're so good at hitting people, I finally feel that I have a direction, and when you say that, I don't know what to do, so I still help him write some poems manually, and I'm not afraid that I will laugh off his big teeth when the time comes."
Xu Xiangjin looked aggrieved, but Zhan Qing's eyes lit up when she said this, and he suddenly felt that this was indeed a good idea.
"You're also a person who has passed several generations, you should have heard a lot of poetry or something, it wasn't a dynasty here before, and poetry or something will naturally not be stringed, I think your idea just now is very good, he will definitely not be able to collect the poems you wrote down, I think he will like it!"
Although I feel a little unbelievable, but if I think about it carefully, it seems to be such a reason, Xu Xiangjin is really unable to do it now anyway, so he can only win in his mind, but his poor brain is not easy to use, but now he has to waste some of it.
"I'm going back to retreat in the next few days, write down all the poems I can think of, and don't bother me until then."
In fact, Xu Xiangjin knew very well what kind of virtue his brain was, and knew that he would definitely not be able to think of a few songs, so he could only close the door and ask for help from the system jun, which naturally could not be seen by Zhan Qing.
Xu Xiangjin has never regarded writing a collection of poems as a secret thing, as long as those who are interested inquire a little, it is easy to detect what the gift she wants to give, and naturally put her mind on it.
Concubine Zhen really didn't want to harm Xu Xiangjin at first, but seeing that the people around her were higher in rank than her, she was even inferior, and she couldn't even protect her own children, so she secretly swore that no matter what way she used, she must climb up, and Xu Xiangjin was tantamount to a stumbling block on her way forward, and an object to be absolutely eliminated.
At present, Xu Xiangjin has put all her focus on the birthday of the thirteenth prince, so she will simply turn the happy event into a funeral, and when the time comes, she will blame Xu Xiangjin, forgive her this time even if she has three heads and six arms, she will not be able to escape.
"Xu Xiangjin, people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed, the kindness you helped me before was also offset by me saving your life, now the two of us don't owe each other, but who made you a stumbling block for me, then don't blame me for being unkind."
She called the imperial doctor who treated Xu Xiangjin last time to discuss the next matters.
