Chapter Seventy-Six: The Life Cycle is Stormy
Lan Xin led Gao Lingxi and Panyu through the corridor to the north, until they arrived at the big Buddha hall where the queen mother lived. It is also strange to say, when passing through the four double-crossed and four-fold Linghua partition doors, Lan Xin inadvertently touched the lifelike carving on the door, and it seemed that no one had wiped it for a long time.
"The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." The three of them saluted in unison, bowing their heads with blessings, solemn and restrained. After all, Lan Xin and Panyu have both been "taught" by the Queen Mother, and their faces have seen enough, and they really have palpitations.
On the contrary, Gao Lingxi immediately smiled, with a bit of intimacy that the two of them did not have, and raised his head first: "Queen Mother, do you feel better?" ”
With a vain eye, the Queen Mother bowed slightly in response.
Gao Lingxi smiled comfortably, her charming face made her look very charming, even a light smile was enough to make people fall in love.
Yafu got the permission of the Queen Mother, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the Queen Mother: "Niangniang, please get up, the Queen Mother has a headache at this time, and it is really difficult to speak." The slave and maid are not able to take care of it, and they hope that the mother will forgive her sins. ”
Lan Xin sighed faintly, stepped forward dignifiedly, took the warm cotton towel in the hand of the little maid, and gently wiped the sweat beads from the queen mother's forehead. He said carefully: "Queen Mother, you are a little patient, the emperor has issued an order to summon the best imperial doctor to the palace to ask for a pulse." ”
The Queen Mother's face was pale and gray, her lips were blue and white, and she looked really sick. She held Lan Xin's hand with great difficulty, glanced at the closed window lattice, and was angry: "On such a good day, the mourning family has blocked the emperor." ”
Gao Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his head and whispered: "Where does the Queen Mother say, your phoenix health is the most important thing for the emperor." Thinking that the emperor didn't come, Gao Lingxi felt that some words were inappropriate, so he added: "If it weren't for Lord Zhang Tingyu's important matter to see at this time, the emperor would not have to put on his wings and flutter over." The concubine asked the queen mother to be relieved and recuperate, and when the emperor took care of state affairs, she would come to greet you as soon as possible. ”
Panyu couldn't believe her ears. These words were originally supposed to be said by the queen, even if the queen didn't say it, maybe it should be her. After all, I have followed the queen into the palace to ask for peace a lot of times, and I don't see the queen mother's face once or twice, so I am more familiar with it. How can Gao Lingxi be able to talk more than once, and her words are frivolous, you must know that she has gone back and forth, and she has not seen the Queen Mother a few times......
Isn't it because of the emperor's favor that even the queen mother cherished a little? Panyu stood in place, very uncomfortable, hanging his head, feeling that the cool breeze on the back of his neck was rising, the cold air was pressing, and even his heart was getting colder. But on his face, he still has to maintain a decent and anxious smile. She really didn't understand, why her situation had become so embarrassing, just because of Gao Lingxi's beauty? Just because Gao Lingxi's father is the emperor's favored minister?
Is it because of the emperor's preference for Gao Lingxi that she reuses her family, or is it because of the support of her family that Gao Lingxi can leap into the dragon gate and suddenly become a prominent and noble concubine? This layer of relationship is really complicated for her, and it is difficult to sort it out. Panyu resisted the burning stuffiness in his chest, hating himself for not being able to calm down.
With a difficult smile on her haggard face, the Queen Mother coughed lightly, supporting her body and trying to do it. Fu said briefly: "The emperor is wise, and the mourning family is finally at ease." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the glass wool rosewood table resting not far away, asking for a glass of water to moisten her throat.
Panyu stood in front of him, got this look, hurriedly offered a warm water with both hands, and walked closer. "Queen Mother, drink some warm water to moisten your throat."
Gao Lingxi turned his head sideways and easily took the teacup from Panyu's hand. Naturally, there is obviously a sense of contention here, and it is clear to tell Concubine Xian that this water should be served by her. What's more, the Queen Mother may not like her concubine to serve.
Lan Xin saw it in her eyes, quietly helped the Queen Mother to sit down, put the Fushou continuous cushion in the right position, and said with concern: "The Queen Mother can feel comfortable like this, if it is inappropriate, the concubine will adjust it again." ”
"Yes, Queen." The Queen Mother took a sip of warm water, and her voice was slightly moistened: "Yafu, take a seat." The mourning family saw the queen, Hui Guifei and Xian Fei, and their spirits were unconsciously better. I thought about talking to them more. ”
Yafu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the little palace maid to put the black lacquer and gold back chair up.
Lan Xin couldn't help but think of what Gao Xiang had just said in the Qin'an Palace, and she was puzzled, and asked worriedly: "The concubine was very uneasy when she learned that the Queen Mother was frightened last night, what is the reason?" Can the queen mother talk to the concubines in detail, so that the concubines are not enough, and they can prevent trouble! ”
"Zuo is just his own demon." said such words lightly, which shows that the Queen Mother is really not shy about it, and there is no intention of dodging in her words: "My heart can't get over, so it's hard to forget it all the time." The harem has always been like this, and I can't complain about others. “
Gao Lingxi was slightly stunned, but he didn't know what to say. He only lowered his eyelids slightly, thinking of what happened to him before, and couldn't help but sigh sadly.
"What's going on?" The Queen Mother held Gao Lingxi's soft and slender fingers, and was concerned: "Why is your face so bad?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine just remembered that she had a nightmare, and she had lingering palpitations. That tastes really uncomfortable. Gao Lingxi raised her head embarrassedly, and looked at the queen mother's narrow phoenix eyes, worried: "The concubine has also asked the imperial doctor to treat it for a while, but it is still difficult to eradicate it." I thought that this was a problem, and I was afraid that I would have to follow the concubine for the first time. ”
"Then you're really similar to the mourning family." The Queen Mother tightened the soft jade hand in her hand, and said slowly: "After all, it's just a demon." If there is something uneasy in my heart, that thing will appear in my dreams. Actually, it's just what I think. Now that the sky is bright, the mourning family is not so shy in their hearts, and it is okay to talk to you, but they are really scared at night. ”
Lan Xin had a calm face, listening to the two of them talking indistinguishably, and seemed to be unable to interject.
In addition to reluctantly maintaining a smile, Panyu's eyes kept lingering on the brocade quilt on the queen mother's body, and she rarely even raised her head, as if she was very preoccupied.
The Queen Mother suddenly remembered something, and sighed slightly: "A few days ago, Yonghuang's nurse led him to ask for peace to the mourning family. When the mourning family looked at it like this, they always felt that the child was pitiful, it seemed that he was much thinner than before, and he had fewer words to say. Speaking of this, the Queen Mother closed her eyes sadly: "The life of a motherless child is miserable, and it is not as good as a mother to grow up from the side of the palace." ”
Thinking that the Queen Mother intended to blame herself for not taking care of herself, Lan Xin hurriedly confessed: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and the concubine neglected to take care of Yonghuang, which is really ashamed." ”
"How can I blame you, as a mother-in-law, how can you not love him." The Queen Mother smiled gently: "The mourning family thinks that you also have to take care of Yonglian and Rubin, and you also have to manage the tedious and heavy chores of the harem, and it is inevitable that you will be overwhelmed." But Yonghuang shouldn't have no one to hurt in the end, according to the wishes of the mourning family, it is better to choose an adoptive mother for her. Raised by the side of the mother who cherished him, the mourning family can rest assured. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it really surprised the three of them.
Let's not talk about what the Queen Mother thinks, just talking about whose palace Yonghuang is raised in is appropriate, which is a difficult thing to think about.
Gao Lingxi's face changed slightly, after all, Fucha Xunyan died under his back window, and Yonghuang was still young, so he might not be able to see through this as a blame, and he would inevitably resent her. With this layer of resentment, he would definitely not want to live with him. But the Queen Mother's intentions are obviously towards gathering the emperor's favor for whom......
However, Panyu's heart may not be heavy, and when I think about it carefully, it really doesn't taste good. She hung her head heavily, as if she were about to bury it in her chest. colluded with Mo Ruyu to impose the framing of Yongzhang on Fucha Xunyan, and her reputation was tarnished after her death. How do you face Yonghuang, he must not want to follow him.
But if Yonghuang doesn't follow him, he will inevitably have to follow Gao Lingxi...... Panyu really didn't want to see it, and thousands of graces gathered in Gao Lingxi's body.
If you can't fight for your family background and can't fight for favor, you have to fight for a little blood of the emperor, and only by seizing the opportunity can you protect your position steadily. Panyu thought so, and the back spine was not cold, but the cold sweat in the back of the heart came out instead.
Or Lan Xin is the most calculating, she doesn't think about Yonghuang first. Instead, I was thinking about the Queen Mother's intentions in doing this. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, for fear that the concubines of the harem will be in peace and mind. always has to provoke some right and wrong, and she, who is the queen, is anxious to show the prestige of the queen mother.
After thinking about it, Lan Xin came up with a bold idea and asked tentatively: "Queen Mother, according to your wishes, which sister's palace is Yonghuang raised in, is it appropriate?" "Leaving this thorny issue to the Queen Mother to deal with can show the Queen Mother's thoughts. Rather than guessing, it's better to have a good time.
Lan Xin is not uncomplaining, and this resentment seems to be expected. After all, if she were the queen mother, she would not want to see the current situation.
Pan Yu and Gao Lingxi glanced at each other quickly, and their hearts couldn't help but jump. But they never dared to show their intentions too much, so they could only hang their hearts and look at the Queen Mother to speak. Who let the two of them have not been able to give birth to an heir for the emperor so far. If it were the fateful Su Wanrong sitting here, I am afraid that she would not feel anything at all.
The Queen Mother smiled calmly and said calmly: "This is also easy to do, isn't Yonghuang ten years old." Whoever is good to him and who he wants to follow, he has to think about it himself. The queen and the mourning family don't have to worry too much, it's up to Yonghuang to weigh it himself. ”
"Yes." Lan Xin smiled and didn't forget to flatter: "The Queen Mother is still worried about Yonghuang when she is sick, and the concubines are embarrassed." ”
didn't say much, the queen mother called Yafu: "Just take advantage of the fact that Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian are there, go and bring Yonghuang for him to pick." ”
Lan Xin was a little annoyed, she didn't want to believe that her fate was in the hands of the Queen Mother. But at this moment, together with Yonghuang's life, it was all controlled by the Queen Mother. Maybe the emperor!
