Chapter 159: After the rain, the spring looks more beautiful
"Jade?" Panyu was very puzzled: "The jade plate is a gift given by the prince when he was born, or a reward for his mother, it is true that it is a big thing, but it is not worth so much silver in the end." Just looking at the stack of appendices, it seems that Chen Jiu must have played enough of his name as his mother and the queen mother on weekdays, so that he can borrow money on credit to gamble. How could he have such a heavenly ability, sell the jade plate at a high price, and pay off the gambling debts. ”
Lan Xin didn't make a sound, it stands to reason that in the past in Prince Bao's mansion, before the fourth master ascended the throne, those rumors that the queen mother was not her biological mother may have heard it. At this time, I didn't expose it, or I didn't expect this layer, whether it was Concubine Xian's intention to save face for the emperor and let the emperor care about her good, or whether she pretended to be confused like a clear self-preservation, and it was difficult to conclude for a while.
But no matter what it is, Concubine Xian's heart for the emperor is also obvious, and it is based on this situation that Lan Xin tolerates her a little more.
Gao Lingxi couldn't interject, and was secretly depressed in her heart. Originally, she gathered in this Cining Palace, and she was full of joy. After all, after waiting for so many years, it was finally her turn to get pregnant, but the emperor's joy soon disappeared, but the worry on her face was not for her, which disappointed her somewhat.
Cautiously maintaining a smug and smiling face, Gao Lingxi only felt annoyed in his chest, but he couldn't let people see his thoughts, which was really uncomfortable.
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Xian, then at the Queen, and suddenly laughed: "The jade plate that the emperor said is not the one written by the first emperor when he was born, right?" ”
Hongli raised his face, and said that he was born.
"Yafo, go and fetch it." The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "That piece of jade has always been next to the mourning family, and it is the most intimate thing." How can it be easily stolen by others, the emperor's idea is a little bold. ”
"By the side of the Queen Mother?" Hongli was also stunned when he heard such a statement. According to the rules of the ancestors, this jade plate has a proper way of preservation, why is it that only this piece of oneself has not been put away according to the rules, but has been left by the queen mother's side? Could it be that the Queen Mother forged it?
Hongli was flying with all kinds of strange thoughts in his mind, but the Queen Mother suddenly said: "Mourning family remembers, didn't you show the emperor before?" Why don't you remember? ”
Slightly distracted, Hongli vaguely agreed. His gaze stayed in the distance slowly, hollow and a little distracted.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Yafu quickly took the jade plaque and respectfully presented it in front of Hongli.
This time, Hongli took it by himself, rubbed it a few times, and read it softly: "On the morning of August 13 in the 50th year of Kangxi, the side Fu Jin Cobalt Lu clan gave birth to the fourth elder brother Hongli, in the west chamber of Lingwei Pavilion in Prince Yong's mansion. Deacon eunuch Ma Guoren, nurse Ruying. ”
The handwriting on the jade plate is indeed the handwriting of the first emperor, Hongli looked at it carefully, and he couldn't see any traces of fabrication. Even if the queen mother is really not the biological mother of her own relatives, then all these arrangements are also through the permission and recognition of the first emperor. And the Queen Mother is right, this jade plate, he has really seen it, it is not something that is unique.
"The fate of the nurse is not good, and the only thing left is Chen Jiu's vein." Hongli regretted and couldn't give up his old feelings: "Li Yu, you go and find this person, arrange a good place for him, and have the right to comfort the nurse's soul in the sky." ”
"The emperor is kind-hearted, and the mourning family is very pleased." The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and as she showed such a loving look, the atmosphere in the bedroom eased a lot.
Lan Xin finally put her mind at ease and pulled the conversation over: "Concubine Hui Guifei feels better now, this palace sees that your face is still a little pale, you should rest more." ”
Gao Lingxi smiled happily when she heard this, and finally pulled the topic back to herself. The concubine was confused, and she didn't even realize that she was pregnant for two months, and she thought that her spleen and stomach were not in harmony, and her belief was out of balance. The queen mother and queen were worried, and the concubines were uneasy. ”
After that, Panyu didn't listen to a word. Since that accidental miscarriage, for so many years now, she has not had a chance to get pregnant again. Is it that God is jealous of her past graces, and it has to make her feel sad, or is fate never up to people, and even her husband's heart is just as difficult to occupy.
Suddenly I wanted to cry out loud, but she didn't understand how everything that was good suddenly became unrecognizable.
The fourth day of December in the second year of Qianlong is the most festive day since entering the palace.
Shunzhen Gate is full of traffic, and people come and go. The jubilant princess Fujin and Mrs. Hui, all dressed up in grand and gorgeous clothes, entered the palace according to the number of courtesies to greet the queen mother, the queen, and the concubine Hui to congratulate the canonization.
Yes, this day is the auspicious day of the year chosen by the six palaces of Hongli Jinfeng. After this day, the queen mother is the justifiable Chongqing queen mother, and the queen also received the canonized gold seal and gold book from the emperor, and the dignified middle palace lady.
The most unbearable thing is that Hui Guifei Gao Lingxi, just like the imperial concubine, enjoys the etiquette of the princess, Wang Fujin and the lady of the third rank or above, and enters the Chuxiu Palace to bow to her and kowtow to her.
Su Wanrong and Jin Peizi walked out of Chuxiu Palace slowly, smiling and greeting the woman along the way, and the corners of their lips twitched slightly.
Jin Peizi is okay, thinking that he has been favored since he was crowned as the side blessing Jin Gao, and now she is pregnant and is the honor of a noble concubine, so it is not an exaggeration to have such an honor.
However, Su Wanrong didn't think so. "Concubine Jia, you said that this pure concubine in this palace is too unworthy of the name?"
Jin Peizi glanced at Su Wanrong in amazement: "What's the matter, my sister still wants to go hand in hand with Concubine Hui, and be a pure concubine?" The tone was not polite at all, Jin Peizi really couldn't resist Su Wanrong's arrogant words. Is the concubine so easy to be, it has to be drawn up by the emperor's golden words, even the queen mother and the queen have to nod their heads. ”
"Jia Concubine, look at you, where did you go?" Su Wanrong's beautiful voice was as tactful as a warbler: "This palace is saying that if you talk about grace, you can say that it is a concubine, and the concubine position is also for Yongzhang's sake." Since the emperor doesn't care about it, he has a name, but it's just for the emperor's heirs. Where will be the meaning of what you think. ”
Jin Peizi doesn't like the pure concubine who is delicate on the outside but ambitious on the inside, and when she listens to her, she naturally thinks the other way around. "Concubine Chun Niangniang is really joking." Sakura pursed her lips, and Jin Peizi smiled brightly: "How could the emperor not love Niangniang, otherwise how could there be a third elder brother." ”
Although there is a strong irony in these words, Su Wanrong doesn't mind at all. "That's just luck, besides, the emperor is in the prime of life, and there will be many more elder brothers and princesses, and there will never be just three. There's nothing uncommon in the end. Su Wanrong took out her slender jade hand from her hand and pressed it on Jin Peizi's hand: "Concubine Jia, this palace chatters a few words, don't take it to heart, with your posture is far more than a concubine, it is more important than anything else to take the lead." ”
Su Wanrong patted the back of Jin Peizi's hand again, looked at Concubine Xian behind her from a distance, and hurriedly changed her words: "Concubine Jia, you go back to the palace first, and the palace will accompany Concubine Xian to talk." ”
As soon as she heard it, she knew Concubine Chun's intentions, and Jin Peizi smiled and blessed her body: "It's okay, then the concubine won't delay the serious affairs of the mother." Su Wanrong behind her was still speaking in a small key, pleasant and polite to Concubine Xian. But at this time, all the thoughts in her mind were the words that she had "taken the lead".
Not surprisingly, as soon as this year passes, as soon as spring comes, it is time to add new people to the harem. The triennial draft can't be avoided. If she doesn't get the emperor's attention, Jin Peizi is afraid that she will not have a bright future. The steps under her feet are heavy, but her posture is still graceful, and she is unwilling to spend this life plainly.
can flatter and compete for favor, how can she do it?
Panyu didn't like Su Wanrong in the first place, and she was the same concubine as herself at this time, so her heart became more and more awkward. Looking at Su Wanrong's blessed body, Pan Yu didn't move, just stared indifferently at the slender woman in front of her, and didn't say anything.
"It's cold, although it's a sunny day, but the chill in my heart is real." Su Wanrong was not annoyed that Concubine Xian did not return the salute, knowing that she was still holding the shelf of the first side of Fujin in the past, she said more and more kindly: "To say something disrespectful, the concubine still feels that Concubine Xian Niangniang has succumbed to the position of concubine, which makes people feel uncomfortable." ”
If these words came out of the emperor's mouth, the words would be full of tears, but unfortunately they came out of Su Wanrong's mouth, and it would be harsh to listen to. "Why, Concubine Chun said that if she doesn't move Jia Concubine, she is going to come to the palace to talk to her? Whether you succumb to it or not, it's not up to you. ”
"Hey." Su Wanrong sighed in her heart: "The concubine just thinks it's not worth it for the mother." ”
"Concubine?" Pan Yu repeated this sentence coldly, and her tone was a little high: "This is the fourth year of junior high school, didn't you also take the seal of the concubine master and become a veritable pure concubine?" How can this palace be worthy of your concubine, you and I are no different after all. With a stiff face, Pan Yu said: "Oh, no, this palace almost forgot, the pure concubine and the third elder brother, but there is nothing in this palace." ”
"It's not impossible to have a mother." Su Wanrong moved a little closer to Concubine Xian: "The concubine is a clear-eyed person, and I always feel that the emperor feels the most painful in his heart. It's just that you don't care about it. It was because of the tricks of those foxes that they had the upper hand unexpectedly. ”
"If you say this, let's keep it and tell Concubine Hui." Pan Yu glanced at Concubine Chun with disgust: "This palace is not the kind of person who listens to the wind and rain. Besides, who the emperor likes is the emperor's holy will, it is not the turn of the pure concubine to be dissatisfied, let alone have to be grieved for the palace. With that kung fu, you should think about how to take care of Yongzhang. With that, she turned around and walked away, without looking at Su Wanrong.
Su Wanrong saw that Concubine Xian was furious, but she still smiled coldly in the end, and said softly: "I hope Concubine Xian remembers what she said today, and one day a catastrophe will come, but don't look back and beg me." ”
