Chapter 58: The Concubine's Scheme
But the process of farewell was not so smooth.
Under the power of the four countries, there are still people who dare to make sense of right and wrong.
The sudden arrival of the Assassin disrupted the order of the farewell. After the procession was dispersed, people fled in all directions.
Of course, the guards in the palace are all by their own master's side.
And at the moment when there was a riot in the crowd, the secret guard rushed out and protected Chu Shuyao's side.
As soon as the assassin appeared, Mu Lingxuan thought of something, and then stared at Chu Shuyao tightly.
Now Chu Shuyao's side has been protected by secret guards, but there is a team of assassins, who are clearly running for her.
Those assassins didn't kill her. So the two waves of people confronted each other for a while.
Mu Lingxuan quietly gave Gu Beicheng a look, and Gu Beicheng took the people and slowly approached Chu Shuyao's side.
After a fight, Gu Beicheng's men separated those assassins from Concubine Shu. The lady lady is protected from leaking.
Those assassins saw that they couldn't get close to Concubine Shuniang at all, and the reinforcements from the Tanglin Kingdom also arrived at this time. The Assassins were able to retreat.
A farewell assassination, finally there is no danger.
The people of all countries still left according to their previous plans.
And Concubine Shuniang stood in front of Emperor Mu Lingxuan, quietly protected by Mu Lingxuan.
Meng Yichen and Jiang Zepu glanced back almost at the same time. And at this time, Mu Lingxuan also put his arm on Concubine Shu's shoulder and said comforting words to her.
Han Dongxu also turned back, but his eyes were on Concubine Han Chaojun.
Chu Shuyao looked ahead indifferently, it seemed that it was Fang Cai's assassination, which frightened her.
Concubine Bei's eyes are also red, she should be frightened, and she has the sadness of saying goodbye to her relatives, right?
It's just that Mu Lingchen, the seventh prince, found that Gu Beicheng was actually staring at Concubine Shuniang. The emotion in his eyes was familiar to him.
It's just an unbelievable thing.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green...
The parting song lingers in my mind like this.
The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing, and some can't open their eyes. The hair is also blown by the wind and floats.
Chu Shuyao couldn't open her eyes a little. She saw Meng Yichen's back, and also saw Jiang Zepu's back.
She suddenly felt that she had really hurt these two people. It was she who was sorry for them.
"Let's go!" Mu Lingxuan's hand around Chu Shuyao's shoulder, with a little force, made Chu Shuyao come to her senses, and then let Mu Lingxuan take it and get into the carriage.
Whether it is a home or a country, there is a distinction between inside and outside.
Previously, the people of various countries were still in the Tanglin Kingdom, so the concubines of the Tanglin Kingdom did not have civil strife. Now that the people of various countries have left the Tanglin Kingdom, presumably the harem of the Tanglin Kingdom will not be stable.
Concubine Li seems to be recovering from the grief of losing her child. During this period of time, he frequently sent tonic soup to the emperor's imperial study.
And the queen mother doesn't manage the affairs of the harem very much, because the second prince Mu Chengyi was born more than a month early, so his body has always been delicate.
Now that the weather has changed suddenly, the second prince has fallen ill.
The queen mother was anxious, and she almost took care of the second prince without her clothes.
The eldest prince who decided to be a concubine was physically strong. The emperor said that the great prince's physique will be able to be a general like his grandfather and uncle in the future.
These words also mean that the emperor has high hopes for the eldest prince. I hope that the eldest prince can have a future.
But Concubine Ding didn't like to listen to these words, she didn't think that the emperor said this because he had high hopes for the eldest prince Mu Deyu.
That's a good thing to say, it's a general. Isn't it actually a courtier? Bow down to the second prince of the queen's mother?
Concubine Ding is unhappy, and she will complain in front of her henchmen and palace maids.
The palace maid comforted Concubine Ding, "Why is Niangniang so anxious now? The second prince is delicate, and our emperor is strong, what will happen in the future, it's hard to say? ”
"That's right! What will happen in the future, it's hard to say? Concubine Ding seemed to be stunned, and said to herself, "If the second prince of the queen is gone, will our eldest prince be taken seriously?" ”
"Mother." The palace maid called vigilantly, stopped Concubine Ding, and then continued.
And the emperor doesn't go to the harem many times, but whenever he goes to the harem, he will go to the concubine. Concubine Li's place also goes there a few times occasionally.
But Concubine Li had a good life, and she was pregnant with a dragon fetus again. On the other hand, Concubine Shu, who has the most grace from Chengde on weekdays, has now let Concubine Li take the lead.
In a blink of an eye, it was already in the heat of the day, and the heat was unbearable. The emperor originally planned to take the concubines and princesses of the harem to the palace to escape the summer.
But because there are too many young princesses and princes, it is difficult to endure the pain of travel and travel. Therefore, the emperor canceled this summer trip to the palace.
It's just that ice is used more often in the palace. Because there are many princes and princesses in the palace, the ice cubes in the ice cellar are naturally close to the prince and princess.
So for a while, the palace received the ice cubes from the concubines and the ice cellar, forming a situation where there were more monks and less porridge.
At this time, it also reflects the differential treatment between favored and unfavored.
Those favored concubines, the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will send ice cubes over. And those unfavored concubines, even if they use silver, will only get some broken ice.
That's the gap. No wonder the concubines in the palace, everyone wants to be favored by the emperor?
Yurun brought a bowl of thick soup to Shufei Niangniang, and when the soup smelled of it, she knew that it was bitter and difficult to eat.
But Concubine Shuniang took it, but she drank it without frowning.
Yurun took the empty bowl, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind, and said to Concubine Shuniang, "Niangniang, this decoction is harmful to the body. When did the mother stop doing this? ”
The lady concubine Niangniang's face was indifferent, and she was still feeding the fish leisurely, "This soup can't be stopped." ”
"But Niangniang, do you know what the people outside say?"
"What they want to say, let them go, our days are to be experienced by ourselves, not for others to see."
Concubine Niangniang seemed to be a little angry.
Yurun didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only leave with the empty bowl.
Yuzhuo and Mama Kong watched from the side, and Yuzhuo said anxiously, "This Concubine Li Niangniang has been pregnant for more than a month. Why aren't we in a hurry? Our mothers have the most grace on weekdays. If it weren't for the contraceptive decoction that Niangniang drank every day, I was afraid that she would have been pregnant with a prince long ago. Where is there a chance to let others talk nonsense. ”
"Alas! I don't know what our mother thinks. Mama Kong, what do you say? Do you want to persuade the mother? Yuzhuo was very anxious and worried.
Mama Kong also frowned, but said to Yuzhuo, "Our mother is wise and foolish, and her mother naturally has her reason for doing this." Don't talk about it. Hold your mouth shut and don't miss it. ”
Mama Kong warned like this, and Yuzhuo quickly covered her mouth. said resolutely, "Mama, please rest assured, I won't say a word." Yurun, you can rest assured. On weekdays, she is just a stuffy oil bottle, even if she wants to say it, she doesn't have a chance to say it! ”
This Concubine Liniang is pregnant again. The most worried and depressed person in the harem is actually a good concubine.
Concubine Liang's age is about the same as the queen's mother, a few years older than Concubine Li's mother, seeing that the concubines in the palace, both of them are pregnant and have children, how can she not be in a hurry?
But she has eaten so many decoctions and medicines, and her body has been recuperating for so long, and until now, she still has not conceived a dragon. How is she not in a hurry, how is she not angry?
Because the queen wanted to concentrate on taking care of the little prince, she handed over the power of the palace to the good concubine Niangniang.
Concubine Liang got the right to manage the six palaces, and she was relieved a lot. No longer focus all your thoughts on giving birth to children.
The Queen Mother mentioned the selection of show girls to enter the palace.
The Queen Mother said that now the concubines in the harem, who are pregnant, take care of the children and take care of the children. There are few people who can serve the emperor wholeheartedly.
So the Queen Mother proposed to select a few more newcomers to enter the palace.
The emperor originally didn't agree, because there were still several concubines in the palace, and since they entered the palace, they had been forgotten by the emperor, and some of them had not been bed.
But the Queen Mother said that even with these concubines. The emperor's harem is also too few.
And now in those big families, there are also some talented and beautiful girls who have grown up.
The emperor was filial and didn't want to refute the queen mother's kindness, so he agreed.
The selection of show girls to enter the palace is also handed over to the Queen Mother to be fully responsible.
Because of the selection of show girls, the Seventh Prince was not less concerned.
will be inquired, the appearance and character of those show girls have also been reported to the Queen Mother.
Mu Lingchen looked at the portraits of those show girls and fell into deep thought.
At the beginning, he deliberately asked the emperor for Shen Shu, but he just wanted the emperor to remember the past again.
He thought that the emperor would be able to save Shen Shu that day, so naturally he treated Shen Shu differently.
However, since Shen Shu entered the palace, the emperor has not shown any difference to Shen Shu.
So he once suspected that the emperor had to ask Shen Shu to enter the palace, but he was just unwilling to let him get his wish.
After all, if it weren't for the emperor's insistence, Miaoqing would not have died.
It was obviously him who fell in love with Miaoqing at the beginning. But the emperor and his crown prince, Miaoqing's father forced Miaoqing to marry the imperial brother as a side concubine.
The imperial brother knew that Miaoqing and him were in love, but he still did not refuse Miaoqing's father and promised to include Miaoqing in the prince's mansion as a side concubine.
But Miaoqing was depressed and depressed soon after entering the house.
It was also at that time that he learned about the benefits of imperial power.
You can do whatever you want, and you can protect the people you want to protect. Have the people you want to have.
