Chapter 288: Xiaohe is seriously ill
Since the 10th day of the fifth month, he passed by King Rui, and King Rui has never entered the harem. He was like a meteor in the middle of the night, appearing and disappearing.
In the harem, above the court, there is no trace of this person.
Needless to say, Lingxi also knows that King Rui is afraid that he will continue to return to King Rui's mansion and live the kind of life that does not worry about eating and drinking but cannot enter or exit.
Lingxi's heart hurts, she feels heartache, the person who hurt her and Allure as if she was a sister when she was a child ended up like this.
And what is even more heart-wrenching is that Rui Wang Yongan was imprisoned by Emperor Yongan when he returned to the capital three years ago, and the Allure that was hijacked by others at that time was not looked for at all.
Lingxi has always believed that as long as King Rui is there, Allure will be fine.
But now, King Rui is here, but Allure can't go.
Thinking of the face of Allure, Lingxi's heart was as if it had been cut by a knife. How can you keep a glimmer of peace with such a face?
But Lingxi didn't have much time to be sad, because Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager were sick.
It's serious, and it doesn't get a drop of water.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe is seventy-four years old, and she has been tortured by illness for a few days, and she has lost too much weight.
Lingxi waited in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe all day long, telling funny jokes to the Empress Dowager Xiaohe every day.
Lingxi laughed in front of the people, and left tears behind the people, she was afraid that Xiao and the Empress Dowager would go like this.
While waiting for Xiao and the Empress Dowager, Lingxi still had tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth to take care of the six palaces, and carried most of the things in the harem on his shoulders.
During the period when the Empress Dowager Xiaohe was seriously ill, Emperor Yong'an came to visit the Yongshou Palace more than once. When the two eyes of the spirit rhino met, the spirit rhino lowered his head first, and his eyes were red.
Such a spirit rhino, in the eyes of Emperor Yong'an, I see pity. In particular, Lingxi's filial piety and virtuousness made Emperor Yongan praise again and again in his heart.
In addition to Emperor Yong'an, Concubine Rou, Concubine Xian, Concubine Yu, Concubine Yigui and other concubines above the rank of these concubines will also be ordered to serve in the Yongshou Palace. It is precisely because of the filial piety of these concubines that Lingxi has leisure time to deal with the affairs of the six palaces.
On May 15 of the ninth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an stayed in the Hehuan Palace.
Between the words, Concubine Rou, who hated her teeth with itching teeth in her heart, mentioned that Lingxi took care of the six palaces without getting the holy decree, which was unreasonable, and it was already arrogant.
At that time, Emperor Yongan was sitting on the bamboo couch reading a book, and there was already sleepiness in his eyes.
After listening to Concubine Rou's words, Emperor Yong'an raised his sword eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Then Concubine Ai said, what should I do?" ”
Concubine Rou raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Yong'an, she didn't dare to say what she meant in her heart, she bowed her head and said, "The concubine just heard that other concubines had complaints, so I will mention it when I think about it today." The concubines were stupid, and they didn't know what to do to calm the grievances of the concubines of the six palaces. ”
Emperor Yong'an put down the hand in his hand, got up and walked in front of Concubine Rou, and said with a smile, "Since Concubine Ai's brain is not enough, and she can't think of any good way to settle the grievances of the Six Palaces, then I will think of ideas for Concubine Ai and solve your difficulties." ”
After speaking, Emperor Yong'an brushed his sleeves and left, and stayed in the Yiyang Palace all night.
On May 16 of the ninth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an issued a holy decree to the six palaces, and during the period of filial piety and the queen mother's phoenix body, he was specially given the right to assist Ye Guifei in the six palaces.
After speaking, the root of Rou Guifei's hateful teeth was broken.
She wanted to take this opportunity to step on the spirit rhino, but she didn't want to not only fail to succeed, but instead push the spirit rhino to the same position as herself.
Now Lingxi's family background is no worse than her, her position is not lower than her, and she has the love of filial piety and the empress dowager, and now she has the right to associate the six palaces......
Concubine Rou felt more and more that she had only blocked Lingxi with one stone on the way to the back position, so that she would not get rid of the unpleasant stone.
On May 20 of the ninth year of Yong'an, the repair of Yiyang Hall was completed.
On May 23, everything was smooth, and it was an auspicious day, An Xiaowan moved out of the Yinshuang Pavilion and moved to Yiyang Hall under the support of the palace people.
On May 25, the ninth year of Yong'an, An Xiaowan had a dispute with the Qingcai people who had recently been in full favor in the peony pavilion of the imperial garden. After a few words of disagreement, An Xiaowan punished Qingcai in the peony garden with the respect of a noble concubine, kneeling in the heavy rain for two hours.
Afterwards, Qingcai did not go to Emperor Yong'an to cry like other concubines, and begged Emperor Yong'an to call her the shots. Instead, the palace maid in the palace prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts, personally held them and walked through the imperial garden, and then sent them to Yiyang Palace to kowtow to An Xiaowan and ask for guilt.
So the uproar between the two disappeared under the weakness of Qingcai.
An Xiaowan was full of hatred in her heart, it was obvious that Qingcai provoked her first, but Qingcairen's behavior was as if she was unreasonable.
Although An Xiaowan's mind is deeper than before, after all, some things are still not clear.
When she really couldn't figure out which play Qingcai was singing, An Xiaowan went to Yongshou Palace on May 27 to ask for scriptures from Lingxi, who lived in the side hall of Yongshou Palace these days.
The east side hall of the Changle Hall has become the second residence of the Lingxi. These days, in addition to taking care of Xiao and the Empress Dowager, Lingxi rests here to deal with the affairs of the Six Palaces.
When An Xiaowan came, Lingxi was crooked on a beauty couch looking at the account book presented by the palace bureau, which recorded the cost of repairing the palace where the concubines were selected after the election.
At her side, there were two thick ones.
One is the new concubines who entered the palace after this small election, the purchase of new clothes, etc., and the silver taels to be used. The other is the budget for the expenditure in the harem after the winter, which includes the food and clothing of tens of thousands of people in the harem.
Lingxi had already heard about the matter in the imperial garden, so before An Xiaowan could speak, Lingxi raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did she say about you, you want to punish her for kneeling?" ”
An Xiaowan sat on the carved round stool brought by the lotus leaf, and said with a sad face, "She said that I was from a low background and had no salt......
"That's it!" Lingxi frowned slightly, put down the account book in his hand, got up and walked in front of An Xiaowan, picked up An Xiaowan's white chin, and said coldly, "This palace makes you wear a mask on your face, but that mask is not worn in front of this palace." This palace doesn't believe it, you also have this sad face when you kneel in Qingcai. ”
It's really not, An Xiaowan, who was in the peony garden at the time, was arrogant, with ruthlessness in her eyes, and she didn't put Qingcai in her eyes at all.
From An Xiaowan's flickering gaze, Lingxi got the answer.
Personally took the teacup and handed it to An Xiaowan's hand, Lingxi softened her voice and said, "Xiaowan, Qingcairen's mind is far above you, and she deliberately provoked you in the Imperial Garden. If you can't show the simplicity and forbearance you used to have, then you'd better have less contact with her. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will lose the emperor's heart for you......"
An Xiaowan was stunned, looking at Lingxi's eyes full of questions.
Lingxi sat back on the beauty couch, and after taking a sip of tea, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Qingcai has been a low-key person since he entered the palace, and his reputation among other concubines is also good. How could such a cautious person just confront you? Seeing that An Xiaowan didn't speak, Lingxi picked up a fan painted with plum branches on his side, "If other concubines have suffered such a big grievance, I am afraid that they will go to the emperor to cry first, even if they are smart, just swallow this breath." But she came to your palace to admit her mistakes to you, and trampled her self-esteem under her feet. This is something that ordinary people can't do. This time, on the surface, it seems that you have won, but you have fallen into a notoriety of domineering and jealousy. Once or twice, the emperor will think that you care about him, and he is jealous in his heart. But in the long run, think for yourself......"
Lingxi's words were indifferent, but An Xiaowan set off a monstrous wave in her heart.
Putting down the tea cup in her hand, An Xiaowan blessed Lingxi with a blessing and retired.
After An Xiaowan left, Lotus Ye asked puzzledly, "Niangniang, Wan Gui Concubine is no longer the Wan Gui Concubine she used to be, why did you teach her so much?" ”
"I'm tired...... Lingxi reached out and took the account book in his hand, and stopped talking.
Lingxi is indeed tired, she has been a concubine for six years, but it seems that she has lived for six centuries. Physically and mentally exhausted, she doesn't want to participate in the battle in the harem anymore, and now in a high position, she just wants to be a person who watches the flowers bloom and fall.
Of course, if you want to do this, you have to be smart and careful.
And An Xiaowan is the key to her plan. Let's ask, there is an An Xiaowan who has been entrenched in the heart of Emperor Yong'an for a long time and is in a high position, which other concubine will set her eyes on others?
Therefore, Lingxi will not only teach An Xiaowan how to be a favorite concubine, but also save An Xiaowan's life at a critical moment.
The rest is her, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Xian.
In June, Xiaohe's body of the Empress Dowager finally improved, and Lingxi's heart that had been hanging in his throat for a month was finally let go.
On the tenth day of the sixth month, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe offered to go out to bask in the sun. So Lingxi put down the messy matters in his hands and helped the good Xiaohe Empress Dowager to wander in the small garden in the Yongshou Palace.
Looking at the purple and red garden, Xiao and the Empress Dowager patted the same thin Lingxi with her hands that were as thin as withered branches, and smiled with relief, "Girl, this month, you have worked hard." ”
Lingxi shook his head, his heart warm, "Ancestor, concubines are not hard. As long as the ancestor is good, let the concubine do anything. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe sighed, looked at the two gardenia trees blooming in the garden, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mourning family, it's really old." ”
The vicissitudes of life made Lingxi's heart sour again.
Since that day, the spirit of filial piety and the Empress Dowager has been getting better and better. Even the Imperial Physician Wang said that it was not easy for Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager to recover to this extent at such an age.
Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager's illness was cured, and Lingxi no longer had to live in the Yongshou Palace to wait. So he ordered someone to pick a small auspicious day and planned to move back to the Lingyan Temple.
The day of the move was set for June 18, but who knew that on the night of June 15, Xiao Dezi knocked on the door of Yongshou Palace at night, knelt in front of Lingxi, and cried bitterly, "Niangniang, Lingyan Palace, you have ...... water"
Lingxi's eyes darkened, and his heart fell to hell. Her five princesses and five princes are still living in the Lingyan Palace......
