Chapter 17 Zhonggong Xi

Concubine Qi had an almost desperate look in her eyes, and tears slid down her face, which was one of her few gaffes.

There was a slight sympathy on her face, and she immediately went down the steps to help Qi Bian, and said, "Sister Qi, you get up quickly." I just hope that Sister Qi will know that the only reliance of the Qi family is now Sister Qi! If my sister is hot-headed and pleads with Your Majesty now, then I am afraid that my sister will completely lose His Majesty's favor. The Qi clan will really be doomed. ”

Concubine Qi saw that she couldn't intercede, so she also understood the situation, so she didn't intercede. She wiped the tears from her face, bowed thoughtfully, and said, "Zhonggong Niangniang, the concubine knows that she is wrong." The concubine went back and thought about it behind closed doors. ”

Concubine Qi returned to her palace, and only then did she dare to reveal her most sincere emotions: "Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty be like this?" Even if my father is arrogant, he won't be like this! ”

The maid Qiao Yunzhi looked at Concubine Qi, and her face was also worried and angry: "Your Majesty is fine!" It's just that the middle palace lady obviously robbed you of your position, but she didn't put you in her eyes like this. The mother just begged her, and she pushed back like this. What a ......."

Concubine Qi hurriedly stopped Yun Zhi: "That's it, can you also talk about the middle palace Niangniang?" That's how it is, the middle palace lady will not be like you said! ”

Yunzhi has always known that her master is cautious and unwilling to say more, but she still can't stop the grievances in her heart: "The slave maid is unhappy for the mother." If the middle palace lady is better at talking, you won't be like this! ”

Concubine Qi pondered: "I look at the middle palace Niangniang, although her temperament is a little rushed, she shouldn't be the kind of person who is not easy to speak!" What ...... you want?"

Yun Zhi seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Niangniang, the slave has remembered." Originally, the middle palace lady couldn't bear you, but she didn't know what to do, and she didn't dare to promise you for a while. But...... Niangniang, did you think that the maid entered the Fengyi Hall for only a moment, and the attitude of the middle palace Niangniang was much tougher. He also threatened you with the lives of the Qi family. I think it must be because the handmaid is bad in front of the middle palace lady! ”

Concubine Qi didn't believe it, and had doubts in her mouth: "How could it be?" How can you conclude that it is because of Maid Zhang? But...... According to the character of the middle palace mother, such cruel words are indeed unspeakable. ”

Yun Zhi clapped her hands and said, "That's it!" Niangniang thought about it, that handmaiden had already known Zhonggong Niangniang, if it weren't for her, how could Zhonggong Niangniang listen to the words of others? Scold! ”

Yun Zhi sneered: "It's a shame that Niangniang tried her best to give that handmaid preferential treatment, but it turns out that this handmaid is such a person who doesn't know how to repay her kindness!" Niangniang really wasted all her kindness! ”

"I don't know what the hell is going on, don't talk nonsense." Concubine Qi interrupted Yun Zhi's words, but she sighed heavily.

Concubine Qi couldn't think of any way to save her father, and now that her self-protection had become a problem, she didn't know what to do.

While thinking about it, news came from Fengyi Hall that the king of the Middle Palace, Xiao Ying, wanted to summon the concubines of the East Palace.

Everyone gathered in one place, but it was not a big deal, but Nao Ying ordered everyone to hurry up and pack up some salutes, saying that everyone would go to the palace early the next morning to mourn for Emperor Daxing.

"Your Majesty is on the throne, and we are the concubines of the Son of Heaven. It's just that the name is still undecided. So sisters, our sisters naturally want to go into the palace to live. It's just that the palace is not as good as the outside, and the sisters have to pay more attention. Otherwise, it would be a loss of dignity. Nakanomiya Nao said.

Naturally, everyone didn't have the reason not to listen, and Nao Ying looked at Concubine Qi, the head of the concubines, and said gently: "Sister Qi, my sister still has to take care of these matters for the time being." At that time, the princess ordered the woman to come to the ceremony, and the sister had to preside over it. Otherwise, it's rude. ”

Concubine Qi heard Nao Ying call her coldly, but she didn't react for a while, but after being reminded by Nao Ying, she reacted, got up and said: "The concubine knows, she will not dishonor the life of the middle palace mother." ”

Nai Ying nodded with satisfaction, there was majesty in her eyes, and her tone was also inviolable: "This palace and Sister Qi want to take care of Emperor Daxing's funeral, so it is inevitable that there will be things that do not take good care of the sisters." It's just that I also ask all the sisters to remember that now is the time to show filial piety to Emperor Daxing, and this palace and Sister Qi can't see those messy things! If someone dares to offend and die during the funeral of Emperor Daxing, this palace will definitely not be spared! Your Majesty can't get around! ”

After saying that, she only swept her eyes at the concubines and ladies under her one by one, and then stayed on Li Liangdi for a long time.

The moment Li Liangdi's eyes met Naanying, she turned her head away, and only rolled her eyes. Apparently she was not intimidated by the events of the previous two days.

Maybe it was because of the usefulness of what Nao Ying said, and all the concubines and ladies were extremely peaceful. Soon, the twenty-seventh day of Emperor Daxing's funeral passed like this.

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the fifteenth year of Chengshun, the new emperor Li Chun was located in front of the Hanyuan Palace, and announced that the next year would be changed to the first year of Xianwu. At the same time, he announced that he would honor the Empress Dowager Zhao with the emblem, honor him as the Empress Dowager Zhaohui, crown Empress Liu as the Empress Dowager, and crown prince and concubine Wang Shi Ying as the empress. The rest of the harem people will be canonized on a certain day.

It was the first day of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and it was also the first day that Nao Ying officially had the title of queen, and a group of concubines and ladies in the East Palace came early in the morning to congratulate Nao Sakura on the joy of being in the middle palace.

Naan Ying was naturally happy, but she always had a clear distinction in her heart, so she said: "Although Your Majesty has made a will, I have not carried out the post-establishment ceremony, and it is not counted after all." ”

Everyone was naturally very flattering, and the coaxing Naan Sakura was also full of spring breeze, but Naan Sakura was happy, but she suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and her eyes were dark, and she fainted.

Everyone invited the imperial doctor, and helped the concubine to the inner hall, and when the imperial doctor came, there was only a pulse, but it was clear: "The queen is pregnant and happy, and it has been a month." ”

And the queen married into the East Palace, but on the first night she had a love with Li Chun. And on the second day and night, Emperor Daxing fell seriously ill and died. After that, there is the national funeral, during the national mourning, it is impossible to have the gift of Zhou Gong, and counting the days, the period of January, it is the first day that there is a dragon seed in the belly.

When everyone congratulated Nao Sakura, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, sighing at Naan's blessing At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh that their blessings were very thin.

Qingyi was happy, and she was only busy giving Naan Ying a little bit of it, offering the best fetal medicine for a while, and then changing a thick goose down brocade quilt to Naan Sakura, which made Naan Ying laugh and scolded: "You Nizi, you are more anxious than me." It's just my own pregnancy, and if you're pregnant, you don't know how nervous you will be! ”

After saying that, Qingyi had a shy look on her face, and blushed and said, "Sister, is this making fun of me?" All I think about now is that my sister's child can be born well. ”

Nao Sakura smiled and quipped: "My child was born alone, lonely." She grabbed Qingyi's hand: "If you can also give birth to one, it would be good to be with my child!"

Qingyi only lowered her head, but Nao Ying's words made her fall into the unbearable past, the "first night" that made her feel humiliated when she thought about it.

"Child? How could it be? I ......"

Qingyi couldn't help but say such dejecting words. Originally, she was trying her best to restrain herself, and she could only say auspicious words in front of Nao Sakura, so don't let Nao Sakura worry. But in such a situation, it is no longer under his control.

Nao Sakura noticed Qingyi's abnormality and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" What is the name of how can there be ......"

Qingyi hurriedly laughed: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Naan Ying noticed Qingyi's abnormality, only opened her eyes wide, kept staring at Qingyi, and asked, "I'm afraid that you have something to hide from me, and tell it quickly."

Qingyi only tried her best to avoid Nao Sakura's tentative and questioning gaze: "Sister, don't ask, it's really nothing."

Naan Ying has been with Qingyi for many years, so she naturally knows Qingyi's character deeply, so she just doesn't let go: "Don't you say?" If you don't say it, I'll go and ask Your Majesty now. With that, Nao Sakura pretended to get up and was about to go out.

Qingyi was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Naan's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't go."

Nao Sakura slowly sat down and said, "You have to be honest with me!" If you don't tell the truth, I'll go to Your Majesty. At that time, I knew that you had become the lady of the East Palace, and I was surprised in my heart. What happened to you and Your Majesty? I know that His Majesty has never been to see you since the first night of pampering you. "

Qingyi shook her head, obviously she recalled the unbearable past and the "humiliation" from Li Chun. That night was a harrowing memory she would never forget in her life.

"Sister...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, at the beginning, did not have at all, but pampered me. "

When Qingyi finally said such aggrieved words with tears in her eyes, Nao Ying couldn't help but be shocked when she heard it, she frowned, and a bright yellow coat only taught her to twist it tightly, but she looked incredulous: "No, no, it was recorded in the history of Tong that you were first red that day!"

"No, no." Qingyi said that, and the tears couldn't be stopped anymore, and she cried even more: "No, sister, at the beginning, Your Majesty didn't spoil me at all. The red that night was the red that His Majesty had cut his own hand. It's just to put the Empress Dowager at ease!"

finally looked like she couldn't accept it, her eyebrows became more and more frowned, her face was full of suspicion, and she was a boss with a pair of shearing water and autumn eyes.

After a long time, she stood up and said, "I'm going to find Your Majesty."

After that, Naan Sakura didn't care about Qingyi, so she got off the kang and walked out.
