Chapter 263: The Merits
"Look at the little guy, how energetic the dragon spirit is." Mianyu's hand tightly grasped Concubine Zhuang's fingers, and sent it to her mouth hard, using her strength to eat. Concubine Zhuang didn't like it, so she was reluctant to put it down when she held it in her arms: "Xiaowei, come and see, isn't Mianyu cute." ”
Ruyue hugged Xiaowei over, and Xiaowei in her arms kept giggling. "My little brother is so cute, Eniang, can I touch his little face?"
"Absolutely." Ruyue gently pressed on Xiaowei's cheek and said softly: "Does Xiaowei like Mianxin?" ”
"Yes, he's so cute." Xiaowei gently stroked the fifth elder brother's face, still giggling non-stop.
At this moment, Le Xi'er quietly stopped by the door, squeezed her eyebrows at Peishuang, and motioned for her to come out.
Pei Shuang didn't want to pay attention to him, and he was afraid that something would happen suddenly. Then he reluctantly walked out. "What's the matter, you want to trouble me at this time."
Le Xi'er was slightly suffocated, and sighed: "The word came just now, saying that Concubine Cheng Niangniang finally woke up." ”
"That's it?" Pei Shuang pursed his lips: "I'll tell Miss later." As for you, who are in a hurry, you are squeezing your eyebrows and making eyes. If it's okay, you just keep an eye on it, and if someone else comes to spread the word, beware that I tear your skin. ”
"Oh, Aunt Peishuang, you can do it, you can't finish listening to what I say." Le Xi'er grabbed Pei Shuang, who turned around to leave, and was heavy: "Concubine Cheng is awake, but her eyes are crooked and her mouth is slanted, and the imperial doctor said that she is afraid that she has a stroke, and she will not be better." The emperor has already gone over to see at this time, and the slave wants to come and ask the master, do you want to go over and have a look. ”
Pei Shuangyi shook off Le Xi'er's hand, and then grabbed his ear: "Monkey cub, do you deliberately want to get along with me?" If you can't say anything about such an important matter, it will delay time. ”
"Oh, it hurts, auntie, spare the minions. Don't dare in the future. "Le Xi'er even told Rao to admit her mistakes, and finally let Pei Shuang let go of her hand." The slave went to prepare the chariot, and Aunt Lao said to the master. ”
"Let's go." As soon as Pei Shuang heard that the emperor had also gone to see it, he couldn't hold back his temperament. But whenever there is an opportunity to get close to the emperor, she doesn't want her young lady to miss it.
"What's wrong?" Ruyue heard Le Xi'er squeaking outside the door, and knew what was wrong. So Pei Shuangcai came in, and she asked.
The words came just now, saying that Concubine Cheng had woken up. If the eyes are crooked and the mouth is slanted, the imperial doctor diagnosed it as a stroke. The emperor has already gone over to see at this time, the slave maid asked Le Xi'er to prepare the chariot, should you also go over and take a look, Miss? Pei Shuang thought to himself, the relationship between Concubine Cheng and Ruyue is quite close, and at such a time, it is natural to go over and take a look.
Concubine Zhuang handed Mianyu to the nurse, and said with a sad face: "How can this be, wasn't it okay before!" This concubine's life is enough to choke. I haven't lived a good life for a few days at all, but it's good now, how can a stroke be cured. Alas, I'm afraid there is no hope for the future. ”
"Not necessarily." A trace of displeasure flashed in Ruyue's heart, remembering the day when the Liu family's sinner was in the law, the emperor suddenly appeared, and her heart couldn't be at peace.
"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Zhuang looked at her side like a concubine, as if she noticed her slightly changing emotions. "There's something going on."
"Sister Lao is going to go with me this time, it's not too late to talk about it on the way." Ruyue leaned over, stroked Xiaowei's forehead, and said softly: "Xiaowei is here to play with Mianyu for a while, mother and Eniang go to see Concubine Cheng." ”
"Okay." Xiaowei responded crisply, and did not forget to advise: "That mother and mother, come back quickly, don't let Xiaowei wait too long." ”
"Okay." Concubine Zhuang smiled gently, and then walked away side by side with Ruyue.
The palace road is very flat, just a shortcut path through the imperial garden to Jingyang Palace, the brick floor is patterned, and it is inevitable that it will be uneven. The hearts of the people who are churning are in turmoil. The curtain moves with the wind, and the scenery in winter is naturally much worse than before, even if there are a few hardy flowers scattered here, they are on the verge of withering, or they are afraid of the cold and appear to be cringe. It seems to compose the sad fate of a woman's helplessness.
Since getting into the chariot, Ruyue has not spoken. This will make her son, and she feels even more confused. It's hard to maintain a peaceful life.,It's going to be disrupted.。
Concubine Zhuang couldn't bear it anymore, she gently pressed her elbow against Ruyue's body, pondered for a while, and finally asked, "What's going on, what are you worried about?" ”
"Believe in the nobles." The short three words have already encapsulated all Ruyue's worries. "I always feel that this woman is not as simple as we see on the surface."
"How so?" Concubine Zhuang asked solemnly.
Ruyue gently wiped her forehead, and a thin layer of cold sweat was stained on the back of her hand, but she felt wet and cold. On the day of the confrontation between the Liu sisters, the emperor suddenly came to Yongshou Palace. At that time, the emperor should have reviewed and approved the folds in the Yangxin Palace, or discussed important matters with the ministers. But it was strange to pinch the time with Concubine Cheng and Xin Guiren, and appeared in Yongshou Palace.
At first, I wasn't sure whether it was Concubine Cheng's mind or a nobleman's faith. But at this time, you look again. Concubine Cheng had a stroke, so who can reap the benefits? ”
"Concubine Cheng's stroke may have been just an accident. It may not necessarily be the work of the nobles, not to mention these things, it is impossible to say. Xinguiren can't force Concubine Cheng to have a stroke, isn't it, could it be that you are too sensitive?
After all, the nobles have always been very indifferent, rarely participating in the affairs of the harem, and even in the face of grace, they seem to be particularly taboo. I'm afraid I'll burn myself. How could she be so bent on competing for the limelight at this moment. Isn't it good for Concubine Cheng to occupy the concubine position and protect her clansmen, can she help the noble people to ascend to the throne if she falls ill like this? It's not that Concubine Zhuang doesn't believe Ruyue's words, she also expressed the confusion in her heart.
Ruyue nodded slightly, and did not deny Concubine Zhuang's words: "What my sister said also makes sense, maybe it's really a coincidence." After all, Concubine Cheng's stroke is not something that the nobles can control. Without such a powerful shelter, it is really not a good thing. That handmade belly pocket may be her heart. ”
Thinking like this, Ruyue felt that she was a little bit of a snake again. Others casually move their thoughts, making them feel that they are plotting against each other, but they don't know that it's just that their mentality is different.
"I thought that it might not be this noble person who had to put some thought into it." Concubine Zhuang remembered that on the way to Yongshou Palace, she met the three new palace concubines, and her heart was uncomfortable. "Have you ever seen a merciful man? Ilgen Jue Roche cocked. ”
Ruyue nodded, a trace of unclear doubt flashed on her face: "What's the matter, my sister also saw her?" ”
"Sure enough, it's beautiful, and it's pitiful." Concubine Zhuang smacked her lips, thinking of Xiaowei's words, she couldn't help frowning: "Even our little princess praised the beauty of that noble man." Let's say that among the upstarts, only these three people are favored. How could it be so coincidental, and the three swaying and swaying together all day long. Isn't there a plan? ”
Slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid and filthy gas, and Concubine Zhuang's eyes flashed with a faint dark light: "I always feel that if the noble person wants to make trouble, there is really no need to wait until this time." You can take advantage of Concubine Cheng's position early in the morning. Let's say that after getting along for so many years, I finally know that her sick and crooked body may only be a weak heart.
On the contrary, these newcomers we don't know at all are full of fancy intestines, or we can't figure out anything else. Concubine Zhuang leaned close to Ruyue's ear and said, "You know that I have no intention of favor, you are good for Xiaowei, and Xiaowei is good for me." So for the sake of our mother and daughter, you must keep your eyes open and never make any mistakes.
It has always been easy to win favor, but it is difficult to stabilize grace. Sister, you've always been through these things, and you really don't need me to babble endlessly. ”
Ruyue gently patted the back of Concubine Zhuang's hand, and nodded solemnly and gratefully: "Thank you sister for reminding, don't worry, Ruyue knows it." ”
Concubine Zhuang and Ruyue didn't expect that walking into the inner bed of Concubine Cheng of Jingyang Palace would make them see a memorable scene.
At that time, the emperor was tightly wrapping the noble man in his arms, his eyes slightly red. And the noble man turned his back to the door, unable to see his expression. But I could tell from her shoulders that were shaking from time to time that she was indeed crying at that time.
If the emperor was sad or happy like this, Concubine Zhuang would not be surprised at all. It's just that the noble people have always been indifferent, how could the emperor let the emperor surround her so seriously, comfort her, and make her cry on his thick and strong chest! Everything can't stand thinking about it, Concubine Zhuang's eyes rolled, and she felt that she might be too much of a superficial thing.
Perhaps, Ruyue's words are right. This Liu Jia's concubine is not so simple at all.
It was only a long way before and after, and Concubine Zhuang herself felt that her heart had become too fast. It revolves around the change of the nobles. My heart is like a worm with a lot of hair, and I can't do it.
After clearing her throat, Concubine Zhuang took Ruyue a few steps forward, and asked the emperor loudly and anxiously: "The emperor is blessed, the concubine and the concubine heard that Concubine Cheng had a stroke, so they were anxious to come and see." What's going on with Niangniang at this time, but it's a big problem, what did the imperial doctor say, can it be cured? ”
The emperor naturally let go of his hand, but when he heard Concubine Zhuang ask such a question, he couldn't help but have a headache. He only said: "The imperial doctor has taken some medicine, and Concubine Cheng has already fallen asleep." ”
Ruyue was worried, and only sighed: "Sister Chengfei's body is weak, I think it will be because she was stimulated in Yongshou Palace that day...... The concubine was uneasy. Dan asked the emperor to decree that the best imperial medicine should use the best medicinal materials to treat his sister's illness. Make sure your sister recovers. ”
