Chapter 236: Dilemma
Concubine Ying's words made Lingxi hate it so much that the root of her teeth itched!
She knew that Concubine Ying would not let her go easily! This harem only stopped for a few days because of Concubine Wen's affairs, and Concubine Ying set a trap to change herself in the palace affairs.
As the head of the first palace of Guangyang Palace, what reason does the concubine have to give up the main hall of the first palace to others to live in, and go to live in the old residence where she lived when she was a low-level concubine before?
Not to mention that Xian Gui Concubine has two princes under her knees, she can't afford to lose this face alone. Plainly let others occupy their palace, which concubine can stand this insult?
What's more, Xian Guifei is just releasing her suspicions with Lingxi on the surface, if this thing is done again, I am afraid that the only little guilt that Xian Guifei has for Lingxi in her heart will disappear.
Then, the contradiction intensified and became a mortal enemy.
Seeing that Lingxi was stunned straight, Concubine Ying's watery eyes flashed, and she persuaded, "This is also a temporary difficulty, you are wronged, and the noble concubine is also wronged." Your sisterhood is deep and you will not be heartbroken because of these false names. If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to be such a master. ”
Lingxi looked at Concubine Ying, who was smiling brightly in front of her, and suddenly felt funny. She really wanted to ask Concubine Ying, since it was like this, why didn't she let herself live in her Comfort Palace, and she went to other palaces in the Forgotten Worry Palace to live temporarily for some time, anyway, she has no heir under her knees now.
Concubine Ying's calculating eyes swept around Lingxi's body, and seeing that Lingxi was not very enthusiastic about her arrangements, she said again, "If my sister thinks it's inappropriate, then she can only live in the Yilan Palace." It's just that the Yilan Hall is a small place, and it is inconvenient to live with my sister, mother and son......"
Lingxi knew that Concubine Ying still had something to say, so she put away the slightly surprised expression she had before, put a soft smile on her face again, and motioned for Concubine Ying to continue.
"I'm afraid that my sister will find it inconvenient to live in Deyang Hall temporarily, so I went to Xin Concubine before coming to you. Concubine Xin is now raising the fourth princess, and if the fifth princess passes, she won't feel lonely. Anding Palace and Guangyang Palace are in the same West Sixth Palace, and they are also close. If my sister misses the five princesses, it is also convenient to go to see the five princesses. It's also convenient for the fifth princess to see you......" Concubine Ying accepted the smile on her face, sighed lonely, and said, "Alas, although the fifth princess is now raised under your knees, after all, she was once a princess, and I don't want to wronged her in my heart." I think my sister is the same as what I think. ”
Lingxi's beautiful eyes looked at Concubine Ying's body for a long time, and finally said with a smile, "It's still my sister who is thoughtful, and I actually thought of two places for my sister." ”
"It's all my own sisters, what are you and me polite about? As long as you're good, the five princesses and the five princes are good, I'll be comfortable in my heart......" Concubine Ying stood up with Su'er's hand and said with a smile, "I also know that you can't make up your mind for a while, and now that the Empress Dowager has not returned to the palace, you will think about it for three or five days, and after thinking about it, I will send someone to tell me." If you want to live in Deyang Palace, you should also clean up your concubines. If you want to live in the Jiayi Lan Palace, Concubine Xin will also start to clean up the side hall and take the fifth princess over......"
With that, he took Su'er's hand and left.
After Concubine Ying left, Lingxi did the craziest and most outrageous thing she had ever done since she crossed over to Dashun to become the imperial concubine.
I personally brought a basin of clean dirty water to the door of the courtyard of the Landing Pavilion, and then wrinkled his little face, like a shrew, he spat at the side where Concubine Ying had disappeared, "Phew! ”
The spirit rhino is broken!
Concubine Ying gave her these two ways, one is to give up the five princesses to be slaughtered, and then bear the charge of murdering the princess. The second is to completely turn his face against the noble concubine, and from then on, in this harem, there is no you, I have me, and I have you!
Lotus Ye took the copper basin in Lingxi's hand and handed it to Hanyan on the side, lowered his head, and his shoulders kept shaking.
Lingxi swept her eyes, looked at the lotus leaf and said coldly, "What are you shaking?" I didn't scold you. ”
Lotus Ye raised her head and replied with a smile, "Niangniang, the slave has been with you for almost five years, and I have never seen you like this." ”
"Hmph," Lingxi snorted coldly, lifted his skirt and went up to the cloister of Luoxue Pavilion, looking back at his face and saying, "The rabbit bites people when they are in a hurry, not to mention that I am a flesh-and-blood person!" Calculate me like this, calculate the five princesses, if I am a dead person, I can't do it! ”
Seeing that Lingxi's face was not good, Lotus Ye hurriedly put away the smile on his face and lowered his head again.
Returning to the inner hall and sitting down, Qiaozhu poured a cup of herbal tea on Lingxi to remove the fire. Hanyu took a fan and fanned the spirit rhino one by one, and the hair hanging down from the two temples of the spirit rhino fluttered because of this.
"Niangniang, can't we live in this eternal longevity palace and not leave?" Lotus Ye knew that he was laughing at the wrong time before, so he said first without waiting for Lingxi to ask, "Besides, even if you go back to Yilan Palace, you can live, why don't you let the fifth princess live elsewhere." ”
Qiaozhu also nodded vigorously and said, "Luoxue Pavilion is only a side hall, Niangniang, the five princesses, and the five princes don't live together?" ”
Lingxi held his breath and drank half of the herbal tea, and the slightly bitter tea soup was cold after falling into his stomach, taking away half of the fire in Lingxi's heart. After taking the square cotton handkerchief and trying the corners of his mouth, Lingxi took the beauty dough fan in Hanyu's hand and said while fanning the wind, "When the Empress Dowager was in the palace, Yongshou Palace has always been a place where her old family lives alone. On weekdays, don't say that the concubines come in to live, even if they come to greet the Queen Mother, only the concubines and above are eligible. Now that the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, I naturally want to move out. As for what you said about me, the five princes and the five princesses and the five princesses can live in the Yilan Palace, in fact, how big of a place can the three of us live? It's just three beds, how much more can you use? But after all, I am a concubine, if I take the five princesses and the five princes to squeeze together, what will the queen mother look like when she comes back? It seems that I deliberately made it difficult for Concubine Ying, who assisted in the sixth palace, with this matter. ”
"Then, you can only move to Deyang Palace?" Qiaozhu's apricot eyes widened, and he said quickly, "It's not only that the noble concubine is uncomfortable, but I'm afraid that the queen mother will say that she is a concubine after she comes back, and she will bully the noble concubine because of her inconvenience......"
Lingxi's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyes to look at Qiaozhu, "If you don't say it, I haven't thought of this yet." But no, if I really occupy the Deyang Palace of the noble concubines, no matter what the other concubines in this harem say, the empress dowager will remember a notoriety in my heart, and then I will be really dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and I ......can't say anything about it."
"What then?" Hanyan looked anxious, "This can't be done in Yongshou Palace, it can't be moved to Deyang Palace, and it can't be done to live in Yilan Palace...... If there are hundreds of palaces in this big palace, why don't there be places for the mother......"
Qiaozhu stretched out his hand and pinched Hanyan fiercely, and Hanyan's little face wrinkled and was silent.
The beauty fan in Lingxi's hand paused slightly, frowned, and said, "Also, if this is a big harem, why is there no place for me to live?" Lotus leaf ......"
"Mother."
"When did this Spirit Study Hall start to be renovated?"
"The slave maid remembers that Niangniang moved to Luoxue Pavilion on June 20, and the Lingyan Hall was moved on June 23, and Concubine Ying said that she had found someone to see it, and that day was an auspicious day."
Lingxi pinched his fingers and counted, raised his eyes and said, "Before I knew it, it was two and a half months, but it was just repaired and not a palace was rebuilt, why did it take so long?" ”
"Xiao Dezi went to inquire a few days ago, and the craftsman in charge of the repair said that although it was repaired, it was a major repair. In addition to the main body of the hall, the walls, cloises, doors and windows are to be relocated. In addition, there are other concubines living in Yongle Palace, and there is only a limit to the time when the construction can really start in a day......" Qiaozhu replied.
"It doesn't matter if Concubine Ying wants to confess." The corners of Lingxi's mouth provoked a sneer, "It's not that the palace in the palace hasn't been overhauled, didn't the Deyang Palace be overhauled before the Xian Gui Concubine was sealed?" It was completed in a month and a half, but the dragon heir in the belly of the noble concubine had not been born at that time, so it was not until the beginning of spring that it moved in, and it was idle for half a year......"
Lotus Leaf Qiaozhu sighed after hearing this, and stopped talking.
Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs who came in and out of the bright sun outside the hall, Lingxi fell into deep thought.
"Lotus leaf Qiaozhu, if you were me, what would you do?" Lingxi suddenly asked.
Lotus Ye replied first, "Niangniang, the slave is dull and can't figure out what to do." ”
"Slaves and maids trespass," Qiaozhu replied, "If it is a slave or maid, the slave and maid will go to the emperor." As long as the emperor makes a decree, no matter whether Niangniang stays in Yongshou Palace, moves into Deyang Hall or returns to Yilan Palace, no one else can say anything......"
"Could Concubine Ying not have thought of this?" Lingxi asked again.
Qiaozhu frowned, scratched his forehead with his hand, and said with a confused look in his eyes, "I'm afraid that Concubine Ying would have thought that Niangniang would go to the emperor for a long time, because this is the only way......"
"So I can't go and ask the emperor." The beauty in Lingxi's hand fanned her tightly a few times, gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine Ying tried her best, just to ask me to ask the emperor." Now the emperor has not set foot in the harem for half a month because of Concubine Wen's matter, but I am afraid that if I go at this time, it will have the opposite effect. This is still light, I'm afraid that what awaits me at that time will be a hundred times a thousand times more serious than I think......"
Frowning tightly, Lingxi muttered with doubts in his eyes, "Concubine Ying, when did you become so clever?" Three bright situations that I can see, a dark situation that I dare not touch easily, such a good plan is really from the hands of Concubine Ying? ”
Seeing that Lingxi fell into deep thought, he took the tea cup that Lingxi drank after a blessing.
The smoky figure flickered, and the spirit rhino came back to his senses. After handing the beauty fan in her hand to Hanyu, she leaned on the bamboo couch and whispered, "Let me think about it for a while, you guys don't let the five princesses and the five princes come to quarrel with me." I don't believe there is no solution to this game......"
On the seventh day of the ninth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an's third handwritten letter was sent to Fengyang Palace from the capital.
At three o'clock on the eighth day of the ninth month, a eunuch wearing an inferior eunuch uniform knocked on the door of the courtyard where the key had been passed in Luoxue Pavilion. After the door squeaked, the eunuch said to Xiao Dezi, who came to open the door, "The slave came to see Concubine Yingniang on the orders of the master." ”
On the morning of the ninth day of the ninth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, Ling Xi ordered the lotus leaf to go back to Concubine Ying, and she wanted to temporarily live in the Deyang Hall of the noble concubine. It was only a matter of time before she and Concubine Xian turned their faces again, since this was the case, there was no reason for both herself and the fifth princess to be wronged.
