Chapter Twenty-Six: The Door God

In front of the corridor of the Changle Palace, Lingxi stood in the wind, looking at Hui Guifei and An Guifei who came from afar, with a proper smile on their faces.

Qian Weishi stood next to Lingxi, looking at Hui Guifei and An Guifei's faces full of respect. His lips moved and he whispered to Lingxi, "It's coming so fast." ”

Lingxi sighed, "The nose is smart." ”

Lingxi already knew what the Empress Dowager Cui was worried about, and when she went to the inner hall to spread the news, Mama An told her as much. Lingxi was still thinking in the Ruyi Palace, the women in the entire harem were probably the most wishful among the princesses whose names had been determined, but she didn't want Princess Chaoran's life to be more miserable, and she was completely a victim of politics.

Although Empress Dowager Cui felt sorry for Princess Chaoran, she also understood that this was a big deal, and she must not see it as a woman. Now that the entire harem knows about Princess Chaoran, the concubines resist the matter of harmony from the bottom of their hearts.

If Empress Dowager Cui shows a trace of dissatisfaction with her kindness at this time, she will inevitably be seized by someone to say something. At the light level, it will be said that Emperor Yonghe is not benevolent and unfilial, and at worst, it will be said that Emperor Yonghe is mediocre and incompetent, and then encourage the army to send troops to the Great Moon Country and meet each other.

These are all things that the Empress Dowager Cui does not want to see, although the Dashun Dynasty is strong, there are also many drawbacks. If she can exchange a princess for more than ten years of peace and stability at the border of the Dashun Dynasty, she and Emperor Yonghe are categorically unwilling to use 100,000 troops to fight hard.

It's not weakness, it's the time has not come. But these truths are not understood by those in higher positions.

Lingxi didn't understand, as a mother, what happened to crying a few times for her deceased daughter, and what happened to being emotional? Why are you as afraid of others as being a thief?

Indeed, it is possible to be a mother. But the Empress Dowager Cui is still the queen mother of the Dashun Dynasty, and she is a role model in the harem, if she is so grieving, won't the other concubines cry to the sky?

In an instant, Concubine Hui and Concubine An walked to the front of the Changle Palace.

Concubine Hui wore a red brocade cloak of the concubine, while Concubine An wore a pure white fox fur cloak. One red and one white, it looks good in the falling snow.

Lingxi and Qian Weishi went down the steps to welcome Guifei and An Guifei.

After Lingxi finished asking for peace, Concubine Hui opened her mouth and smiled, "Miss Ling'er, this palace and Sister An came to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and they were bothered to report it." ”

An Guifei pursed her lips and did not speak, as if she could not see the spirit rhino. In her eyes, Lingxi is just a little palace maid, how can she be treated with such courtesy.

Lingxi has been despised since entering the palace, she is the master, she is a slave, she can't see the expression on Concubine An's face, and said to the smiling Concubine Huigui Fu Yifu, "Back to the words of Concubine Huigui, the Queen Mother is chanting silently in the Buddhist hall." When I went in, I said that I wouldn't let people disturb me, and I asked the two noble concubines to go back. ”

The smile on Concubine Hui's face froze, she lowered her status to talk to Lingxi like this, but she didn't want to eat the closed door without even entering the outer hall of the Changle Palace. Looking at An Guifei's face that seemed to be mocking but not sneering, she just wanted to make trouble, and then remembered what she heard today. So he asked, "The Queen Mother, but what's the discomfort in her body?" This is not the first day of the first month, not the fifteenth, how can you recite the scriptures? ”

Lingxi was blessed again, and replied, "The Queen Mother said that Mei Jieyu's body is getting heavier and heavier, and she is chanting sutras to ask the Buddha to bless Mei Jieyu's mother and son safely." ”

Concubine Hui's eyes swept up and down Lingxi's body a few times, and when she saw that she really couldn't see any flaws, she turned around and smiled at Concubine An, "Look, look, the Queen Mother is Sister Mei." ”

When Concubine An Guifei saw Concubine Hui pulling herself into the water, she smiled and said, "If my sister is angry, then it's good to have another one." ”

"Ouch~" Concubine Hui said exaggeratedly, "This palace is old like this, how can it still be born." ”

"That's not what I said." Concubine An covered her mouth and chuckled, "I heard that the Queen Mother was also a princess of Chaoran who was over thirty years old. Now that the second princess is about to get married, my sister happens to have another companion. ”

"Where is there such a good fortune in this palace!" When Concubine Hui Guifei said the words Princess Chaoran, her eyes couldn't stop looking at Lingxi and Qian Weishi, and when she saw the two of them lowering their heads, they were confused as if they were something. Could it be that Empress Dowager Cui really didn't react at all? That's her favorite little daughter!!

An Guifei saw that Lingxi and Qian Weishi had no expression, so she gave Hui Guifei a look.

Concubine Hui Gui turned back to Lingxi and said, "Even if the Queen Mother is inconvenient, then the palace and Concubine An will go back." ”

Lingxi and Qian Weishi hurriedly blessed their bodies, and said in unison, "Congratulations to Hui Gui Niangniang, An Gui Concubine Niangniang." ”

After Concubine Hui and Concubine An turned around and walked out of more than twenty steps, Lingxi stood up straight, and deliberately turned back to Qian Weishi and said, "Father-in-law Qian, this morning the Queen Mother said that the pots of flowers in the house are not fresh, and you want to change a few brightly colored pots." ”

Qian Weishi understood what Lingxi meant, and it was not too big or small, and the voices that Hui Guifei and An Guifei could just hear said, "Okay, I'll order someone to do it." After a pause, he said to Lingxi, "Ling'er girl......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Concubine Hui and Concubine An had already walked away with the palace maid who was waiting with them.

Qian Weishi's words turned into a long sigh, and he glanced at Lingxi and returned to the middle of the Changle Palace.

Lingxi first helped Qian Weishi to sit down, and after pouring tea for Qian Weishi in person, he took the hot tea that Zhiyue gave her.

Qian Weishi drank most of the tea, looked up at Lingxi and smiled helplessly, "This is the first wave, and I don't know how many waves there will be in the future." ”

Lingxi tea was drunk too quickly, and his tongue was burned by the tea, and he endured the pain and said, "Don't worry, Grandma An has already sent someone to invite King Rui......"

Qian Weishi is the chief of Yongshou Palace, if Lingxi said that he sent someone to invite him, Qian Weishi will definitely be heartfelt. Mama An waited by the side of Empress Dowager Cui for the longest time, if Mama An sent someone to invite her, Qian Weishi would definitely not think much about it even if she had some mustard in her heart.

Qian Weishi nodded and sighed lightly, "King Rui will not enter the palace until early tomorrow morning at the earliest, so it depends on how he survives this afternoon......"

Sure enough, the concubine who was closest to her after lunch came to say goodbye, and asked Lingxi to take an afternoon nap with Empress Dowager Cui and leave. Immediately afterwards, Concubine Yu and Concubine Wu came with them, and then Concubine De and Concubine Liang......

Batch after batch, Lingxi and Qian Weishi stood on the corridor in front of the Changle Palace, just like two door gods, so that they could not enter.

Zhiqiu waited for Empress Dowager Cui's tea inside, and Zhishui sent hot tea to Lingxi and Qian Weishi one after another.

After Lingxi drank the first cup of tea, he said to Zhiyue, "Don't put tea next time, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Qian Weishi also nodded, he was already old, and if he couldn't rest well in the evening, it would really kill him.

Zhishui looked resentful, frowned and said, "With such a heavy snowfall, these ladies don't stay in the palace and come to our palace to see what's going on?" ”

Qian Weishi's body shook when he heard this, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Lingxi poke his finger on Zhishui's forehead with a look of hatred, and said, "Sister Zhishui, let's be good and bad as slaves." If anyone who is not with us hears this, you will be beaten to death! ”

Qian Weishi shook his head and chuckled faintly while holding the teacup, Lingxi was afraid that he would punish Zhishui, so he first classified himself among the people who were with them.

Lingxi naturally knew that his partiality was obvious, so he gave Zhishui a look and said, "On such a cold day, don't you warm up the hand stove for Grandpa Qian." ”

Zhishui knew that he was speechless, and he also knew that Lingxi was protecting himself, so he hurriedly blessed himself and returned to the middle room.

Lingxi smiled flatteringly at Qian Weishi Fuyifu, "Father-in-law Qian, be accommodating." ”

Qian Weishi sighed and said to Lingxi, "Can you protect them for a while and still protect them for a lifetime?" Such a lack of prudence in words and deeds will make a big mistake sooner or later. ”

Lingxi didn't know this truth, but after all, they were all slaves, as long as it wasn't too much of a mistake, she really didn't want to let them lose their lives because of this.

After a while, Zhishui came out, handed Qian Weishi a hand stove wrapped in a dark blue stove set, and then handed Lingxi a hand stove wrapped in water pink, and then Fu Yifu went in.

Qian Weishi chuckled when he saw this, "It's okay, I know that I am grateful, it's not that I can't help it." ”

Lingxi Yifu, "It's embarrassing for my father-in-law." ”

Qian Weishi smiled at Lingxi and waved his hand, "What's not embarrassing, let's be on an errand in front of the master, that's it." ”

In the evening, the heavy snow stopped. The setting sun shone on the palace, like a golden veil covering the pure white snow.

Because it was almost time for dinner, there were finally no more concubines to greet him.

Lingxi asked Qian Weishi to warm up the house, and he recruited a rough palace maid and eunuch to clean the yard.

Lingxi was born in the north in his previous life, and his favorite thing to play in winter is snow. Build a snowman, she can talk to the snowman for a day.

The heavy snow reminded her of a lot of the past.

When the courtyard was swept away and the snow cleared outside the palace, Lingxi stopped everyone. She took those palace maids to pile up countless long pillars of different heights and thicknesses in the courtyard with snow. He also dug a small round pit about three inches deep above the top of the long cylinder, which was fine enough to put down a candle.

After making these long pillars, Lingxi ordered people to bring cold water and slowly pour it on the snow pillars, and in about half an hour, those snow pillars were frozen solid.

At this time, it was already dark, Lingxi shouted to pass the meal, and Mama An, Qian Weishi and Zhiqiu were waiting on the side, and she herself took the rough palace maid to work in the courtyard again.

By the time Lingxi imagined it was done, Empress Dowager Cui had already finished her meal. Lingxi went back to his room to change his clothes, and returned to the Changle Hall without taking care of eating.

Empress Dowager Cui's face was still pale, but it was much better than in the morning. At this time, he had already dressed up, put on a dress embroidered with flowers, and sat crooked on the kang to drink tea. Seeing Lingxi coming in with a cool air, he looked up and said, "I didn't see you for dinner, what did you do?" ”

Lingxi blessed a blessing and said, "The slave maid got some gadgets, and after a while, I asked the queen mother to appreciate her face and move outside the hall." ”
