Chapter 49: The Conspiracy (8)

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Zhuang stood up suddenly, and a terrifying aura swooped down on everyone. When she heard the words of the noble people, they were not only for the jade concubine, but also for herself.

After all, this is what she planned in her heart, when the dragon fetus of the first noble person landed, she would take the child to her side to raise her, and she would never allow the first noble person to have anything to do with the child as a pro-mother. Only in this way can he make up for the lack of his knees, so that the emperor can treat himself like a concubine.

"It is said that it is the emperor's holy will to hand over the fourth elder brother to the jade concubine to raise, even if there is no such will, what kind of identity are you, do you have no score in your own heart!" Since Concubine Zhuang stood up and spoke, this matter must not be covered by a two-word admonition.

Ruyue returned the fourth elder brother to the jade concubine, and said with relief: "It is also an unintentional mistake to think of the noble person, why should Concubine Zhuang bother with her." The fourth elder brother is still here, so it's not good to scare him. ”

"That's right, Concubine Yu, you hold the fourth elder brother and go to the back compartment of Concubine Ru to rest. Later, it is not too late for the palace to appease the fourth elder brother. Where is Concubine Zhuang willing to spare the nobles, and said solemnly: "The emperor has always liked women with good moral character, and the harem concubines should abide by their duties." If you tolerate and connive and calm things, you are afraid that it will reach the ears of the emperor, and even the palace and the concubine will not escape the responsibility. ”

The jade concubine originally wanted to persuade her, but the fourth elder brother in her arms suddenly cried, and her voice was worried. really couldn't arouse her heart, and the jade concubine could only promise: "The concubine took the fourth elder brother to the back compartment." ”

Xi'er pointed to a small palace maid to lead the way, and then turned to look at Concubine Ru, and said: "Concubine Zhuang is angry, the slave maid has prepared a bitter tea for the fire, and please moisten your throat." ”

Concubine Zhuang saw that the nobles were shaking and did not regret it, and even did not see the look of fear, and she was angry. "Okay, everyone in the harem knows that Rufei is the most generous character, and you don't have to pursue it. But there is no room for sand in the eyes of this palace, come here! ”

Ruyue tried to persuade again, but it was too late. After all, after writing like this, Concubine Zhuang has a good heart, and she can finally see it thoroughly. If you want to block it, it will inevitably hurt your feelings. After being thorough, Ruyue had no choice but to follow Concubine Zhuang's words. "There is nothing wrong with excessive punishment. The palace thinks that it is good to punish the noble Qin'an Hall for chanting and praying for the emperor? ”

This not only saves the face of the nobles, but also does not lead to a hard confrontation with Concubine Zhuang, but it is a soft method.

Concubine Zhuang originally intended to make people slap her mouth in public and tie up this noble person who didn't know how to advance or retreat. Unexpectedly, Concubine Ru issued such a punishment order, and it was clear that it was cheap for this Wu Yashi! Then he said sullenly: "Praying for blessings is naturally good, but it must last to see sincerity." If not, it will take a period of 100 days, so that the noble people will bathe and fast every day, chant sutras and pray for blessings. In this way, the main palace can also taste the fragrant tea served by the child with peace of mind. ”

The nobleman held his head high, and his eyes were extremely resentful. But she knows better than anyone else that with her current identity, it is really not enough to shake the foundation of Concubine Ru and Concubine Zhuang. Then he suppressed his resentment and said resolutely: "Thank you for the generous gift of Concubine Ru and Concubine Zhuang, and the concubine accepted it happily." ”

Concubine An listened numbly with a pale face, watching the noble beside her disappear in her eyes, but she still expressed her despair in her heart, and couldn't help but get tired of it. But she still stood up with her body strong: "The concubine is the lord of Xianfu Palace, and the failure to persuade the nobles to worry the two palace ladies is the negligence of the concubines." I am willing to chant with the nobles and pray for the emperor, so as to clear my heart, and hope to be like the grace of the concubine. ”

Ruyue's expression was slightly sluggish, and she was in a sigh of anger in her heart, and she was not in a hurry to speak. On the contrary, Concubine Zhuang happily agreed, and said with a smile: "It is still the master who knows the master's mind best when he has been a slave, and when he can be a master, he will definitely not forget the duty of a slave." In this case, this palace has to accept you, and it will not be in vain to waste the pain and scheming you have come along the way. ”

"Concubine Zhuang." Ruyue couldn't listen to it anymore: "An Concubine has a heart, but she has always lost the dragon fetus, so it is not suitable to work." If you want to take care of it, it's not too late to discuss it when you are well-nourished. ”

"Concubine Xie Rufei is merciful, but she still doesn't change her mind, and she hopes that her mother will be fulfilled." An Concubine knew that the road ahead was not easy, and she had already listened to the ridicule of others. There was only one clear voice in her heart, that is, she would rather die than go back to the cold palace. In order to be able to fly on the branches again, even her own flesh and blood can be abandoned, what sadness is there that she can't bear? No matter how hard it is, you have to hold on.

"That's it!" Concubine Zhuang was slightly impatient, turned her head to Ruyue and said, "Concubine Ru has also been talking to your sisters for a while, so she is tired!" Why don't you ask your sisters to go back. ”

Everyone was interested, and knelt down to salute Concubine Zhuang's words, and retreated one after another.

"If my sister has any complaints, you can come at me." Ruyue is not polite, it is really not easy to say so calmly.

Concubine Zhuang didn't laugh angrily: "Concubine Ru has such a good temperament and vomits, it can be seen that I have really lost my proportion!" Although we are both concubines, I also have self-knowledge. The status of the harem is slightly used to be linked to grace, not to mention that you still have the queen's phoenix seal in your hand, and you are in charge of the palace, I really shouldn't overstep my bounds. It's also disgusting. ”

Without waiting for Ruyue to speak, Concubine Zhuang got up by herself: "There are still jade concubines waiting in the back compartment, let's make a long story short." The reason why I am like this is also because I want you to understand my hard work. The feud with Yun is just a matter between the two of us. It's better for others not to interfere, besides, like a concubine, I have already informed you in the morning. So for now, you better hand them over! ”

"Yes, Yun Changzai is indeed in my Yongshou Palace. And I do have the intention to prevent Concubine Zhuang from continuing to torture her in disguise in the name of 'admonishing the palace concubine' to offset the hatred in your heart. After all, it was she who pushed you down the long steps at the beginning, but when you rolled down, why didn't you cause the grace and nobles to suffer.

It's also to blame that I had a high heart at the beginning, and I hated to become the most favored concubine by the emperor's side immediately. blamed An Concubine for your mistake of slipping the tire, blaming her pearl hairpin for making your feet slippery, so that she was imprisoned in the cold palace for a few years in vain. In the future, in order to restrain you and me, the queen did not hesitate to rescue An Concubine from the cold palace, and An Concubine dared to give up even the flesh and blood in her womb in order to get rid of the queen's shackles.

What happened in the end? The queen was grounded in Chuxiu Palace, Concubine An lost her sacred heart, and the emperor rarely came to the palace of you and me, this is the final outcome of our bitter struggle. Therefore, Concubine Zhuang has to be forgiving and forgiving, and only by being kind and forgiving can she calm her heart. There are never peaceful days in the harem, but when the heart is calm, it won't feel so tormented.

It's not so much that we forgive the mistakes of others, but that we forgive ourselves! ”

Ruyue's words are her true feelings recently. It was enough for her to climb to the position she is in today. The most important thing at the moment is to take care of the affairs of the harem for the emperor, so that the emperor can handle the government affairs with peace of mind.

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but smile softly when she heard this moving words. After laughing, his extremely cold gaze cut at Ruyue's face. She clapped her hands lightly and applauded defiantly: "If Fang Cai's words were heard before I died, then I will definitely repent." But Concubine Ru, with your current status, it would be too cruel to say this to me, right? Look at yourself, what you have, what you have, look at me again, what I have, what I have! If you can still be calm, then I am willing to bow to you sincerely. ”

"What do you think I have?" Ruyue calmed down and looked at Concubine Zhuang seriously.

"Having the emperor's favor, the power of the palace, and having a cute little princess, aren't these enough? The only thing you lack is to give birth to a little brother for the emperor. Other than that, you're simply enough for everything. Concubine Zhuang sighed sadly: "Although your little princess is not yet a year old, at least, she has come to you, hasn't she?" I don't even have such a blessing, do you think I can still be like you, hanging mercy on your lips every day, looking fearless, and calmly accepting the same fate of the woman on the palace wall?

Truth be told, I've tried countless ways to conceive again. Let me tell you another word that has been in my heart for a long time, you are not the only one who loves the emperor, how do you know that I don't think he is a good person and a husband in my heart! Am I just for the title of Concubine Zhuang? ”

Ruyue was speechless by what she said, so she had to hang her head blankly.

"Ruyue, do you know how much I want to be you?" Concubine Zhuang raised her eyebrows awe-inspiringly, and then there was a smile of helplessness and bitterness. "I even thought about trying to get you out of the way if I couldn't be you. Maybe without your existence, the emperor will pay attention to me. ”

"You're confessing." Ruyue also smiled hard with her smile. "There are so many people in the harem who hate me, but no one has ever said such a thing to my face. Maybe I'm too conceited, and I always think that generosity can calm the strife in the harem, but it turns out that everyone's existence has already hurt others, whether it is unintentional or not......"

Concubine Zhuang gathered her mind and returned to her former calm. "Also, I always feel that the Engui people are very aggressive. Naturally, it is impossible for only the same voice to appear in the harem, there is such a disharmony, but it is real. But her behavior is really abnormal, and you have to be more careful. ”

"Yes." Ruyue turned to a sigh and smiled: "I heard that sister, you, Ling Yun is often washing the stairs in Yonghe Palace every day, is it really true?" ”

Concubine Zhuang didn't care, and said calmly: "Naturally, it's more than that, and the Gong bucket is also brushed by her." Anyway, if you can't keep your hands idle, then it's better to do more. You can rest assured, Rufei, I won't plot to kill her, I will only torture and torture her, if she can survive, she will survive, if she is really so weatherless, she will die a hundred. ”
