Chapter 149: The First Snow of Winter

On November 11, the Dashun Imperial Palace ushered in the first heavy snow in the seven years of Yong'an.

Snowflakes fluttered and scattered, falling on the roof of the hall paved with cyan glazed tiles, falling on the pink palace wall three feet high, falling on the autumn chrysanthemums that bloomed in the cold in the imperial garden, and falling on the lotus pond flowing with turquoise pond water......

Concubine Yu wore a blue fox fur cloak, held Pan'er's hand, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the Ruyi Hall after getting off the soft sedan chair.

In the vast snow, Pan'er persuaded worriedly, "Niangniang, you slow down, don't fall." ”

But how could Concubine Yu listen to Pan'er's words, if she wasn't in a hurry to vent the anger in her heart, she was afraid that her lungs would have exploded.

Back in the Ruyi Palace, Concubine Yu slammed the stove in her hand to the ground. The gold-inlaid jade collar rose and fell with the chest, and the plain beaded flowers on the head also trembled with Yu Concubine's trembling body, "It's too much!" It's too much! ”

The little palace maids in the hall were shocked by Concubine Yu's anger, and hurriedly knelt down, and said in unison, "Niangniang is angry." ”

Pan'er glanced at Concubine Yu's angry face, and sent the little palace maids out with a wave of her hand.

After the little palace maids were all gone, Pan'er stepped forward and took off Concubine Yu's cloak, revealing the dark green embroidered dark flower jacket worn by Concubine Yu and the dark pink unembroidered Luo skirt. After Pan'er put down the cloak, she persuaded the concubine, "The slave has a lot of words, why are you fighting for this tone?" ”

"Won't I make it?" Concubine Yu turned her head to look at Pan'er and said angrily, "If I don't fight, will the five princes still have a way to live?" ”

Since the queen rewarded the five princes with a suite of four treasures in the Weiyang Palace, the anger in Concubine Yu's heart has not been smooth. Thanks to her caution, she took the four rooms and four treasures out of the palace to check it, otherwise she didn't know that poison had been added to the ink. If this is placed in the dormitory of the five princes, within half a month, the five princes will become sleepy and become demented.

Concubine Yu hated the queen in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and could only let people get a similar piece of ink outside and put it in the palace of the five princes, and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to spread the word to the outside, saying that it was cold in winter, and the five princes were more and more sleepy, so they avoided the edge.

Helplessly, Concubine Yu could control the mouths of the servants in the palace, but she couldn't control the mouths of Emperor Yong'an, who came to visit the five princes.

Since the accident of Lingxi, Emperor Yong'an rarely visited the five princes. But occasionally probing, and then occasionally boasting, immediately attracted Queen Zhu's attention to the five princes again.

"Niangniang, you changed the poisonous ink last time, the queen must have guessed it......" Pan'er said cautiously, "If you don't follow the queen's ...... this time"

"Attached to her? According to her, I will take the fifth prince to Weiyang Palace and let her dispose of it?! Concubine Yu was so angry that she jumped wildly, "She really has a good intention, saying that the eldest prince is old, the fifth princess is young, and she wants the fifth prince to live in the past and be lively together, why doesn't she let the fourth princess go?" I'm afraid that the excitement is fake, and the harm is real! ”

Pan'er took the tea cup from Yizhi's hand, handed it to Concubine Yu's hand, and said with relief, "Niangniang, the five princes are the princes and grandsons of the emperor, is it possible that the queen will still attack the five princes in her Weiyang Palace?" After all, there are so many pairs of eyes in the harem. ”

Concubine Yu turned around and sat on the low kang, put the tea cup on the table, frowned and said, "What about so many pairs of eyes?" Concubine Ying's position is high, but she has always been an outsider, pointing out that Concubine Ying can stand up and say a fair word, it is better to wait for the queen's own conscience to find out. Concubine Ren is now eager to transform into the palace maid next to the queen, what use can she have? In addition to these two, the elegant concubine ......" Yu Concubine raised her hand and waved the teacup to the ground, and shouted angrily, "The one who killed a thousand knives, her heart and liver have long been black!" ”

Pan'er had never seen Concubine Yu lose such a big temper, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stroke Concubine Yu's back to help Concubine Yu Shunqi, and persuaded, "Niangniang, these individuals are useless and human nature." Now that the concubine is in the cold palace, who wants to wade into this muddy water? Besides......" Pan'er paused for a moment and said, "Niangniang, didn't you mean not to wade into this troubled water?" You didn't come in at the beginning, and you shouldn't ...... now."

Seeing that the expression on Concubine Yu's face was somewhat relaxed, Pan'er said earnestly, "Niangniang, you have to think about it carefully......"

Concubine Yu closed her eyes and slowly calmed down the anger in her heart.

Pan'er is right, Concubine Yu didn't want to get involved in the battle in this harem, otherwise how could she let herself fall out of favor to the point that Emperor Yong'an didn't even want to look at it?

Pan'er picked up the small incense spoon carved with a peony pattern on the table, dug a spoonful of lily incense from the spice box and raised it into the burning incense burner.

Yizhi, who was standing beside him, cleaned up the broken tea cups on the ground, the carrot charcoal scattered on the ground, and the small hand stove that had fallen aside.

Looking back, seeing that the expression on Concubine Yu's face was already indifferent, Pan'er sent Yizhi down, walked behind Concubine Yu and rubbed Concubine Yu's shoulders, and said softly, "Niangniang, as the heir of the royal family, the fifth prince must have no worries about food and clothing in this life." The emperor also hinted at the court that it was impossible for the fifth prince to be made the crown prince. The glory of the life of the five princes has been decided, why do you still fight? ”

After rubbing her shoulders, Pan'er squatted down again to pinch Concubine Yu's legs, and continued, "Now that the queen is the dominant family in the harem, she can get rid of even the soft talents...... Why don't you sell her a favor? ”

Concubine Yu opened her eyes, raised her foot and kicked Pan'er to the ground, and said angrily, "How innocent is the child!" Miss Yu Jiayan, when does she need to sacrifice the interests of a small child to protect herself?! What about her Queen Zhu's family? Bengong doesn't believe that she can always cover the sky with one hand like this! ”

Pan'er got up from the ground, not angry or annoyed, knelt at the feet of the concubine and asked, "Does that Niangniang mean to wade into this troubled water?" ”

Concubine Yu was stunned by Pan'er's question, and sat back on the low kang and stopped talking.

Xia Qing walked in from outside the hall, glanced at the faces of Concubine Yu and Pan'er, and said softly after bending down, "See Concubine Yu Niangniang, the fifth prince has woken up, do you want to hug her over and play with Niangniang for a while?" ”

It was cold and snowy outside, if it was in the Lingyan Palace, Xia Qing must have asked Lingxi if he would go to the side hall to play with the five princes. But now under the eaves of people, I have to bow my head.

Xia Qing knew that the only one who could keep the five princes safe now was Concubine Yu. Therefore, I carefully told the palace maid who followed her, and she must not insist that she was waiting for the prince, so she raised her status with the little palace maid in the Ruyi Palace. It is no longer possible to be as small as in the Spirit Research Temple, so as to attract right and wrong.

Pan'er glanced at Xia Qing, who had a cautious and cautious face, and raised her head and said to the concubine, "Niangniang, can you play with the five princes for a while?" ”

Yu Concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, looked out of the white window, and said, "It's big under the snow outside, if it's cold, it's not good......"

Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart after hearing this, and went down again, saying, "The slave has retired." ”

Concubine Yu straightened up, stood up with Pan'er's hand and said, "It's better for this palace to go to the side hall with you, I haven't seen him for a day, and this palace also misses him." ”

Xia Qing hurriedly took the cloak in Yizhi's hand and draped it on Concubine Yu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "The fifth prince also misses his mother......"

"He's missing his mother......" Concubine Yu sighed lonely.

Xia Qing's nose was sour, and tears almost fell.

Although the five princes are young, they can already recognize which is a relative and which is not. Concubine Yu is good to the five princes on weekdays, but the five princes are not as affectionate as the concubines, and even when Concubine Yu teases him, he doesn't seem to be laughing happily in the Lingyan Palace.

After only half a cup of tea, Concubine Yu looked at Ru Lingxi's little face, which was similar to each other, and her eyes turned red several times. When the fifth prince held back his mouth, his eyes showed tears, and he unconsciously called out to Yu Concubine as his mother, Yu Concubine could no longer hold back the sourness in her heart, and fled back to the main hall of the Ruyi Palace.

Pan'er followed Concubine Yu back to the main hall, and tears were rolling in her eyes. After handing Concubine Yu a wet handkerchief to clean her face, she said loudly, "Niangniang, don't be sad." It is also his blessing that the fifth prince can be in the Ruyi Palace, and he will be your child from now on. ”

Concubine Yu took the handkerchief and cleaned her face, her red eyes revealed a trace of perseverance, and after handing the handkerchief back to Pan'er, she gritted her teeth and said, "You are right, from now on he is my emperor, how can my emperor be bullied by the queen at will?" Even if the glory of the life of the fifth prince has been decided, then he must be healthy and safe for the rest of his life. ”

Pan'er took the wet handkerchief in her hand and said, "That lady has to plan carefully, the current situation is more difficult than ever." A little bit of a ......"

"I know." Concubine Yu looked at the snow falling more and more outside the window, and said thoughtfully, "One thing you said is right, no matter how arrogant the queen is, she will not do too much to the five princes in the Weiyang Palace." She and I begged the five princes to stay for a few days, which was nothing more than beating me to see if I really protected the five princes. If I had agreed to her request, she would not have embarrassed me. If I don't agree......"

"If the mother doesn't agree, I'm afraid I'm going to fall into the queen's way." Pan'er continued, "I'm afraid that she won't be as polite as she is now to you and the fifth prince......"

Yizhi walked in from outside, blessed Concubine Yu, and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, Xia Lan, who was waiting in the Lingyan Hall before, came to say hello, do you see it or not?" ”

Concubine Yu's heart trembled, she raised her head and said coldly, "Order the little eunuch to blast out with a stick!" All the way out of the Ruyi Palace! ”
