Later, as Concubine Zhen said, the person who found out Concubine Kang of Jingren Palace had been in contact with Xi'er two days before, but the palace maid threw herself into the well on the same day.

Once again, there is no evidence of the matter.

Concubine Kang naturally shouted wronged, saying that the palace maid was insignificant in Jingren Palace, she hadn't even paid attention to what the palace maid looked like, how could she instruct the palace maid to do something, maybe someone framed her and bought the palace maid...... Because there was no evidence, coupled with the intervention of the Queen Mother, Fulin could only give up, and only let the third elder brother Xuanye move to Yuqing Palace, and let Concubine Kang be grounded for three months on the grounds that His Majesty was not strict.

However, since that day, Fulin has rarely returned to Jingren Palace, let alone Concubine Kang, even the concubines Yang and Megge who live in Jingren Palace are also difficult to see the holy face.

Everyone knows that no matter whether Concubine Kang recognizes it or not, in the emperor's heart, he feels that this matter was done by Jingren Palace, once he loses his favor, even if he is a concubine, he will be bullied by the minions who climb high and step on the bottom, and the things sent to Jingren Palace are often picked up by other palaces, or they are shoddy, because she can't see Fulin, and she is grounded, Concubine Kang can't even sue.

Concubine Kang didn't look for the palace people to go to the queen mother, and went to Fulin to talk about the things that the slaves did, but Fulin didn't care at all, those slaves were not punished, and they became more and more bold, if it weren't for Concubine Kang and the third elder brother, I don't know what it would be like to be bullied.

Jingren Palace in front of the snub saddle horses, Chengqian Palace is a daily flow of people, greetings, goodwill, gifts every day there are several waves, especially at the beginning of October, the dark clouds because of stepping on a little early snow, fell a little to see the red, in addition to the early dynasty, to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, almost day and night in the Chengqian Palace with her company, those concubines are even more intensive.

Lying on the bed for a few days, the red of the dark clouds has been intermittent, and it has not always gotten better, the imperial doctors began to wait in three shifts a day, the midwife is on call at any time, and the palace people are always cautious and cautious, and they don't even dare to say it out loud, those concubines have been rejected again and again, and the people who go to the Chengqian Palace have gradually decreased.

Only Sizhen, Wuyunzhu said that she was bored lying in bed, and she went over every day to chat with her, or take a book to read. When Sizhen was studying, most of the blessings were there.

Listening to Sizhen's clear and tactful voice ringing in the room, Fulin was sometimes stunned, as if he had returned to the good times they had been together a few years ago.

On that day, Sizhen was invited by the people of Chengqian Palace before dinner, and Mama Li, who was in charge, saw her, stepped forward and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine Niangniang's fetus is moving very much, and the midwives have gone in to prepare, and the mother is uneasy, so she ordered the slave maid to send someone to ask Gege." Just now, Niangniang said, if Gege comes, just wait in the East Side Hall, she wants to be the first to share with you the good news of the little brother's landing. ”

"Niang Niang launched it today? Didn't the previous imperial doctor still say that maybe he could drag it back and try to keep it still? Sizhen was a little surprised, although the preparations for the early production of the dark cloud beads have been made in the past few days, but according to the month, it should be more than a month before the melon is ripe and falling, if it is born at this time, the little brother is only more than seven months, and the premature child is difficult to raise, so the doctors have been trying to protect the fetus in the past few days, but I didn't expect it to be launched in advance!

Mama Li nodded and whispered: "It was fine, Concubine Zhen came over in the morning and said something, but for some reason, Niangniang cried. ”

Sizhen thought for a while and asked, "Where are the queen mother, the emperor and the queen mother, but they all sent someone to say it?" ”

"The slaves and maids have sent people to inform them, how dare they hide such a big thing! Concubine Zhen Niangniang heard that it was because of what she said that caused Niangniang to start in advance, scared like something, at this time, still kneeling outside the delivery room, but our Niangniang was kind-hearted, said that it was none of her business, let people help her up, Concubine Zhen Niangniang insisted on kneeling there, saying that she would wait for the emperor to come and ask for sin. ”

Mama Li pouted and said: "The slave doesn't believe that there is any sisterhood in this palace, not to mention this clan, it is the sister, in order to compete for favor, there are many anti-purposes, so our master believes in her......"

"Mama Li-" Sizhen coughed lightly twice and reminded her: "Don't talk about the affairs of the girls, you are also the old man in the palace, you should know the truth that trouble comes from your mouth......"

Mama Li came back to her senses, slapped her mouth twice, and said with some embarrassment: "Look at the old slave's mouth...... You are also kind, standing with our mother, looking like a sister, the slave forgot for a while...... Gege, you sit down first, drink some tea and eat some snacks, and the slave and maid go to the delivery room of the West Side Hall to have a look, there are many people and things now, and the slave and maid have to watch more closely......"

Sizhen nodded: "Mama has a heart, you have a strict view of this Chengqian Palace, and when the imperial concubine gives birth to an elder brother, your good is indispensable." You don't have to call me. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all what slaves and maids should do." Mama Li retreated.

Seeing Mama Li lift the curtain and go out, Sizhen slowly picked up the tea cup on the table, took two sips, and said to Bailing and Skylark: "There are many people and things are going on right now, you control the people of Hanzhang Palace, don't allow them to run around, if there is something that needs to be taken care of, keep an eye on it." ”

Bai Ling went out to order the others, and the lark stayed in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Gege, will something happen to the imperial concubine this time?" ”

"What will happen?" Sizhen's expression became a little deep, and he reprimanded the lark in a cold voice, glanced at a small palace maid standing not far away, and said lightly: "There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and the midwife is also prepared in advance, and the imperial concubine is blessed with a great life, and the mother and child will definitely be safe." ”

After a while, someone called the little palace maid out, and Sizhen reprimanded the lark in a low voice: "The days when you followed into the palace are not short, why can't you control your mouth, can you talk nonsense in this way?" ”

"Gege, when will we be able to go back to Guilin?" The lark lowered his head and muttered, "How free we used to be in Guilin!" Over the years of entering the palace, I can't take one more step, I can't say more, I'm really embarrassed to die, I have to beware of this, which one to beware of, even the imperial concubine ......"

"That's it!" Sizhen interrupted her coldly, "You didn't hear what I just said, did you?" If you want to go back to Guilin, next time it's time, I'll report your name, although the palace maid can't leave the palace until she is twenty-five years old, but I will intercede with the queen, I think it should be able to make you leave and go home early......"

"Slaves and maids will never leave Gege when they die!" The lark heard that Sizhen was going to get him out of the palace, and hurriedly argued: "The slave is just not worth it, you used to be pampered at home, not to mention, that is, after entering the palace, there is the queen mother's love, the emperor takes care of it, and even the queen mother wants to give you a little thin noodles, but when you get here, you are like a low-ranking concubine, you have to come over every day to ask for peace, and look at other people's faces......"

"The slave is really unworthy in her heart. On the surface, the imperial concubine treats you like a sister, but in fact, doesn't she treat you as a big girl? When the emperor is there, she treats you like a look, when the emperor is not there, she often doesn't even say a word to you for a long time, and she doesn't greet you to drink tea. ”

"What grievances? This is also a grievance, that concubine has been kneeling in the West Side Hall for an hour or two, is it a grievance? Sizhen said lightly: "In this palace, you feel that there are more people who are wronged than you." If you want to talk so much, go back to Hanzhang Palace, and when I come out in the future, I don't dare to take you again, so that you don't have to make trouble for me sooner or later. ”

She sighed lightly: "Now, my brother's life and death in Kunming are unknown, but I am in the palace, but I am clothed and fed, and I am already very comfortable, as for the imperial concubine, she is not comfortable in her heart, the pregnant person is originally bigger than others, and she didn't really do anything to embarrass me, why bother with these little things?" ”

The lark hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Gege, why don't you ask the Queen Mother to go back to Guilin?" You're seventeen years old this year, if you drag it out like this, Young Master Sun should be in a hurry......"

The corners of Sizhen's lips were slightly hooked, revealing some warmth: "Among the feudal domains, I am the youngest, although my father's old generals are thinking of the old feelings, but I have no prestige in the army, and now it is an eventful time, what is the personal relationship of my children!" In March last year, Li Dingguo's dog thief sent Jin Tongwu to lead the army to welcome the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty into Yunnan, officially established the capital of Kunming, and changed Yunnan Mansion to the capital of Yunnan. In the past two years, the emperor sent the Qing army to press the border, forcing the territory of Nanming to only a corner of the southwest, maybe, in a few days, my brother will have a chance to rescue him, and when he comes back, I will marry again, isn't it better? ”

When the lark heard this, he was overjoyed: "Really, will the prince really be rescued?" This is great, it is really good, the slave goes back, and must give Guanyin Bodhisattva a few more pillars of incense. ”

Sizhen smiled and nodded.

It's just that there is one thing she didn't tell anyone: in May this year, she once again proposed to leave the palace in front of Fulin, but not long after, it was rumored that after Sun Yanling was transferred back to Beijing, he had nothing to do, because he was very dissatisfied with his own situation, he made a lot of mistakes, and even killed a person because of drinking and making trouble, and was impeached by the official.

She pleaded with Fu Lin, but Fu Lin was extrajudicially gracious, pardoned Sun Yanling, and asked him to return to Guangxi as a general in advance, but she was not allowed to raise the palace matter again.

"Gege ----"

After a long time, seeing that Sizhen was silent in thought, the lark called softly: "It's been so long, and there is no news from the imperial concubine, or the slave and maid will accompany you to go back first, right?" There's no telling when you haven't had dinner yet! ”
