On September 20, Lingxi went to Qingle Palace to deliver things according to the mouth of Empress Dowager Cui.

Originally, this kind of trivial matter could be done by the little palace maid, but Empress Dowager Cui chose Lingxi.

The entire Dashun harem knows that Lingxi at this time is the most favored palace maid in front of Empress Dowager Cui, and its momentum is far superior to that of Jasper back then. asked the palace maid around her to personally send things to Mei Jieyu, even when Cui Guifei was pregnant, she did not receive this kind of attention.

Lingxi wore an embroidered brocade cardigan palace robe that only a first-class palace maid could wear, wore a pair of pink cotton beads newly rewarded by the Empress Dowager Cui, and wore a pair of warm jade earrings on her ears, and walked steadily in front. The four third-class palace maids behind her were wearing a blue palace robe, with the same hairpin and the same size of velvet flowers on their heads, holding the pastries rewarded by the Empress Dowager Cui and following carefully.

The group dressed up pretty, which inevitably became a unique scenery in the imperial garden.

The pure concubine was coaxing the ninth princess to play in the imperial garden, and when Lingxi saw it, she naturally took the little palace maid to ask for peace.

After the pure concubine waited for Lingxi to say goodbye, she said curiously, "Miss Ling'er can go around far away, and Yongshou Palace and Qingle Palace are only separated by a Changxin Palace......"

Lingxi replied politely, "Hui Chun Concubine Niangniang, it rained last night, and the bluestone road was slippery, and the slaves and maids were afraid that the palace maids would stumble and knock over things, so they left this side." ”

The pure concubine's eyes turned lightly and said, "Then the girl should go over early, the pastry will be cold later." ”

Lingxi nodded and retired with the palace maid.

On the edge of the Hehua Pond, I met Yun Jieyu, Zhu Jieyu, and Ji Meiren who were sitting in the pavilion and enjoying the scenery. Lingxi stepped forward and saluted, said what he said to the pure concubine again, and left with the palace maid.

Ji Mei is wearing a milky white Luo skirt embroidered with maple leaves, lined with a pale pink bandeau and wearing a white feather bead flower on her head. After Lingxi walked away, there was a trace of contempt in her beautiful eyes, and she sneered, "The house finch that flew the high branch really thinks that she is a phoenix." ”

Yun Jieyu is wearing a more gorgeous one than Ji Meiren, but it is also the usual costume in the palace. After listening to Jimeiren's complaints, his eyes lingered, and he glanced at Jimei, "No, I used to be a bird trainer." ”

Zhu Jieyu was wearing a Luo skirt embroidered with green bamboo, and only a few bead flowers made of pearls were hairpinned on her head. After listening to Yun Jieyu's words, she burst out laughing and said softly, "Sister Yun, Sister Ji is talking about the one from Qingle Palace." ”

"Hmph~" Ji Meiren snorted coldly, with a cold and arrogant face, "This bird trainer is not simple, and he has become a first-class palace maid after only a few months in the palace." Acting as a person everywhere looks down on people, in the end, she is a cheap maid who has no family background, and can she turn over the sky? ”

Yun Jieyu stretched out her right hand, which was as white as jade, raised her orchid finger and pinched a begonia cake, and said, "That's capable, looking at the entire harem, how many can be high-class slaves, and how many can be slaves who become masters when they turn over?" ”

Jimei said unconvinced, "A cheap maid, who won the favor by seducing the emperor, is better than those of us who are seriously selected." In the coming day, the dragon in her womb was born, and the position will be earlier than your sister. ”

Yun Jieyu was already unhappy in her heart, she entered the palace in the fourteenth year of Yonghe, except for the favor of Emperor Yonghe when she first entered the palace, and now it is not as good as day by day.

Zhu Jieyu subconsciously touched her lower abdomen and said, "It's still a serious matter to give birth to a dragon heir......

In the second year of Zhu Jieyu's entry into the palace, she was favored by God and conceived a dragon heir, but who knew that the child and her only had a six-month mother-son relationship. If it weren't for the fact that she lost that child, she would have said that she would also be a concubine by now.

"Giving birth to a dragon heir? It's simple. Jimeiren's small face was quite complaining, and he twisted his handkerchief and pouted, "Then the emperor will ...... too."

Yun Jieyu raised her hand and stuffed the begonia cake in her hand into Jimeiren's mouth, and said quite majestically, "It's okay to make up a few sentences of slaves, and if you keep talking, you don't need a head." ”

Ji Meiren had a small begonia cake in her mouth, and she was grateful to Yun Jieyu on her face, but she was very resentful in her heart. She has spoken to this extent, why is Yun Jieyu still so calm?

Zhu Jieyu is a clever person, and she turned the topic to the plates of pastries served by the palace maid behind Lingxi, "I don't see how chic, why do you walk around the garden?" ”

Jimei poured himself a cup of tea, washed down the sweet and greasy taste in his mouth, and said, "It's not publicity, it's so good." ”

"Even if it is rewarded by the Queen Mother, it must be good." Yun Jieyu glanced at Ji Mei and Zhu Jieyu, "What does this mean, where can you and I think through it?" ”

"Sister Yun is saying that this palace is going to be lively again?" Guime's eyes lit up.

"How have you ever been calm?" Yun Jieyu said lightly, "Poor tenth princess died early......

"Sister Yun, sister heard about the tenth princess...... Zhu Jieyu raised her eyes and looked at Yun Jieyu's expression, and after seeing that there was no abnormality, she said, "It's not simple." ”

Jimei became interested and hurriedly asked, "Why isn't it simple?" ”

"I heard that the ten princesses were only seven months old when they were born," Zhu Jieyu whispered, "but according to the records of the Ganlu Palace, it should be more than eight months, close to nine months." ”

Yun Jieyu's heart trembled, and her back was immediately soaked with sweat. The Great Shun Dynasty attaches great importance to the heirs, and pregnant concubines are not to be waited for. If it is really as Zhu Jieyu said, then Cui Guifei went out of the palace to pray for blessings, and the tenth princess died early......

Yun Jieyu's face was very bad, she got up in a hurry, and said to Ji Meiren and Zhu Jieyu, "I remembered that the pure concubine asked me to go to embroider the belly pocket for the ninth princess in the afternoon, I will leave first." ”

Zhu Jieyu didn't seem to know that she had inadvertently said the taboo in the palace, so she only stood up and said, "Sister Yun's face is a little bad. ”

Yun Jieyu raised her hand and touched her fair cheeks, and pulled out a far-fetched smile, "I'm afraid that I will be too late, and the pure concubine will blame me." ”

"The pure concubine looks very kind, and she won't embarrass her sister." Jimei relieved.

Yun Jieyu stopped talking, raised her hand and beckoned the palace maid, holding the palace maid's hand and hurriedly leaving.

Zhu Jieyu watched Yun Jieyu go away, and sneered, "Look at Sister Yun." ”

Jimei urged, "You haven't answered me yet, why isn't it easy?" ”

"I only know that it's not simple, but what is the non-simple method," Zhu Jieyu chuckled, "Then I don't know......"

The Giemians thought they would hear something secret, but they said, "It's boring......

As the pure concubine said, Yongshou Palace is in the same East Sixth Palace from Qingle Palace, and it is only separated from Changxin Palace where An Guifei lives.

When Lingxi walked to Yongle Palace with the four palace maids, Mei Jieyu was in a daze with a bowl of fetal pills.

It wasn't until the little eunuch handed the words to the palace maid Peony who was waiting beside Mei Jieyu that Peony dared to squeak.

Mei Jieyu came back to her senses and hurriedly welcomed Lingxi in.

Lingxi blessed Mei Jieyu, and said in a moderate voice, "Today, the Queen Mother tasted a few pastries, so I thought about asking the slave maid to send them to Mei Jieyu." ”

Mei Jieyu said softly, "Why don't you come here in person, wouldn't it be good to beat a few little palace maids?" ”

Lingxi Shui Lingling's eyes turned, glanced at Mei Jieyu meaningfully, and replied, "The Queen Mother is afraid that the slaves will be sluggish on the road, so let the slaves run in person." ”

Mei Jieyu nodded understandingly, and said, "Miss Ling'er went back to the palace to thank the Empress Dowager, the body of the palace is inconvenient, and it is not good to go to thank you in person." ”

Lingxi bent his knees and said, "The Queen Mother said, don't Mei Jieyu thank you." ”

Mei Jieyu put her left hand on her waist, covered her lips lightly with her right hand, and said arrogantly, "It's still the Queen Mother who loves the palace." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and sat on the soft chair in the Ruyi Palace, asked Peony to take all the pastries, and said to Peony, "Go and ask Liu Yizheng to come." ”

In the afternoon, Empress Dowager Cui sat in the shade of the small garden in front of Yongshou Palace to eat tea and enjoy chrysanthemums.

Lingxi stood beside the Empress Dowager Cui, and the rest of the palace maids were far away except for An Niangniang.

Lingxi replied, "The slave maid led the palace maid around the imperial garden, and met the pure concubine Niangniang who played with the nine princesses, as well as Yun Jieyu, Ji Meiren, and Zhu Jieyu who were sitting in the pavilion by the lotus pond. The concubine was on the other side of the cloister, and when she saw the slave and maid leading people far away, she avoided it. No one in the Queen's palace was seen. ”

Empress Dowager Cui gently tapped the bamboo chair with her fingers, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mei Jieyu is a smart person, and she doesn't mourn her in the past." ”

Lingxi stopped answering.

Other concubines who received the queen mother's rewards were all grateful and treated, such as Mei Jieyu, who called the imperial doctor to all kinds of pastries for inspection, I am afraid that it is a strange thing in a strange way.

Seeing that Lingxi didn't speak, Empress Dowager Cui asked, "You don't understand?" ”

Lingxi shook his head, "The slave is stupid. ”

Empress Dowager Cui was in a rare good mood, and after a smile, she explained, "Mei Jieyu doesn't give the old woman of the mourning family face like this, will the mourning family still protect her?" ”

Lingxi thought for a while and then denied, "Definitely not." ”

"What if the mourning family is still protected?" Empress Dowager Cui asked again.

Lingxi didn't understand, Empress Dowager Cui immediately asked Mei Jieyu to create this kind of false impression that she didn't know what to do, it must be to no longer protect her, and to lure out all the people behind her who wanted to harm the emperor's heir in her womb. But, to protect it again, isn't this doing useless work?

"The slave doesn't understand." Lingxi's little face crumpled.

"The mourning family continues to protect her, that is the generosity of the mourning family." Empress Dowager Cui whispered, "In the future, you have to go to Qingle Palace more often, just go by yourself, walk around once every three or two days, and come back after taking a look." ”

Lingxi is completely confused, which routine is Empress Dowager Cui's play?

Seeing that Lingxi's little face was wrinkled and uncertain, Mama An chuckled and said to Empress Dowager Cui, "I finally saw the child's expression on this girl's face, it's really cute." ”

Empress Dowager Cui was also happy when she heard this, and gently pinched Lingxi's face with her hand and said, "Ling'er, you have to eat these things slowly to your heart." ”

For the first time, Lingxi was anxious about his IQ, so he only made a bitter face and said in a tricky way, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid Ling'er has a small appetite and can't eat it." ”

When Empress Dowager Cui and Mama An heard this, they smiled even more cheerfully.
