Chapter 102: Kneel down for me
Cao Guifei slipped her baby......
With just this sentence, Lingxi's heart was troubled. This big harem can accommodate the heavens and the earth, and can accommodate the king of a country with 3,000 beauties, but it can't accommodate a child who has not yet been born.
Seeing a trace of helplessness on Lingxi's face, Gonggong Feng whispered again, "Concubine Ren Niangniang is already in the Changxia Palace." ”
Lingxi's heart was excited, Concubine Ren had been living in the Jiyue Palace since the death of the fourth prince, and she had not appeared in the harem for half a year. If Emperor Yongan even invited her, it can be seen that the matter of Cao Guifei this time is very widely implicated.
Lingxi suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he still pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and calmly said to Gong Feng, "Thank you Gong Feng, I hope to wait a while." ”
Gonggong Feng bowed to Lingxi again, sighed silently, and turned out of the inner hall.
Gonggong Feng has been waiting on Emperor Yong'an for nearly thirty years, and it can be said that he has seen and eaten everything in the harem, so he can't show any pity for these concubines and maids in the harem.
can be alone, but Gonggong Feng has a good feeling in his heart.
First, after Lingxi was favored, he did not entrap him because he was the chief eunuch, but he never looked down on him, not far away, just like when Lingxi was still a palace maid.
This kind of plain communication made Gonggong Feng's heart not depressed, and he had a good impression.
The second is that in the summer of the twentieth year of Yonghe, he accompanied Emperor Yong'an, who was still the prince at the time, into the study, and Emperor Yonghe was dissatisfied with the battle strategy proposed by Emperor Yong'an, so that Emperor Yong'an knelt outside the Zichen Hall under the scorching sun at noon. It just so happened that Lingxi, who was on an errand beside the Empress Dowager Xiaohe at that time, went to the Zichen Hall to deliver chilled plum soup to Emperor Yonghe. Seeing that Gonggong Feng and Emperor Yong'an were dazed by the scorching sun, Ling Xi called Gonggong Feng to the shade of a tree and secretly gave Gonggong Feng two fist-sized ice cubes. and told Gonggong Feng that he put it in his mouth and saved him from heat stroke.
Gonggong Feng was already dizzy from the sun at that time, holding the cold ice cube and looking at the pink-clothed Lingxi, it was like seeing a female Bodhisattva coming down from the sky. At that time, he was still a small, unfavored personal eunuch in front of the prince, how could his status compare to the favored Lingxi in front of filial piety and the empress dowager? But Lingxi didn't despise him, but gave him ice cubes to relieve the heat, and Gonggong Feng was grateful to Lingxi from the bottom of his heart.
Later, Gonggong Feng was still signed. Because he secretly gave the two ice cubes to Emperor Yong'an, so that Emperor Yong'an didn't fall down on that hot afternoon.
The third is that Gonggong Feng felt ashamed of Lingxi, and after the noble concubine of Yong'an was pregnant and asked Emperor Yong'an for Lingxi, Gonggong Feng once inadvertently mentioned the matter of the afternoon of Yonghe's twentieth year. It was also at that time that the name Lingxi really entered the sight of Emperor Yong'an......
Especially after learning that Qian Weishi had arranged for Lingxi to leave the palace, Gonggong Feng's heart became more and more guilty. He always felt that if he hadn't said so much to Emperor Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an would not have set his sights on a little palace maid.
After Gonggong Feng went out, Lingxi changed her into a slightly thicker, dark blue embroidered acacia placket palace dress from the lotus leaves. Re-tied a wishful bun, hairpins on two beaded flowers that are not outstanding, and a red gold hibiscus swayed.
After cleaning up, Lotus Leaf put on an aqua blue cloak for Lingxi. Lingxi pondered in his heart for a while, whispered a few words in the ear of the lotus leaf, and then took Qiaozhu's hand out of the Lingyan Palace.
At this time, Gonggong Feng and Xiao Dezi were already waiting in the corridor outside the hall, and when Xiao Dezi saw Lingxi stepping out of the palace door, he immediately opened an umbrella painted with ink lotus flowers and lifted it to the top of Lingxi's head, and he himself completely fell outside the umbrella......
Yongle Palace and Changxin Palace are in the same East Sixth Palace, because they are close, Lingxi did not let the eunuch prepare the sedan chair, only helped Qiaozhu's hand, and Feng Gonggong and Xiao Dezi hurried away.
The rain is small and the umbrella is big, and when the spirit rhino arrives at Changxin Palace, the corners of its skirt have been wet by the rain and have become inky blue. Entering the Changxin Palace, the nine-turn corridor is presented in front of you. Lingxi helped Qiaozhu's hand to go up to the corridor, which was not watered by heavy rain.
Outside the cloister, the rain was still falling densely, and it fell on the ground with a crackling sound. Gonggong Feng bowed to Lingxi and said, "Concubine Ying, the slave takes the first step." ”
Lingxi bowed his head and smiled at Gonggong Feng, "Gonggong Lao Feng is bothered. ”
After Gonggong Feng strode away, Qiaozhu shuddered and turned pale.
When Lingxi walked to the door of the Changxia Palace, Gonggong Feng was already standing at the door. After looking at Lingxi expressionlessly, he said in a low voice, "Concubine Ying, the emperor, the queen and several maidens are waiting for you inside." ”
Ying Concubine, not Ying Concubine.
Lingxi's heart trembled, and then he looked like Gonggong Feng's eyes were full of inquiry. Lingxi suddenly regretted that he didn't ask Gonggong Feng about anything along the way, so that he only knew that Cao Guifei had slipped the tire, and knew nothing else.
In the Changxia Palace, Emperor Yong'an sat on the throne, his eyes lowered, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking. Empress Zhu was wearing a vermilion embroidered golden phoenix Luo skirt, with a Lingyun bun on her head, sitting beside Emperor Zhu An, with a pair of beautiful eyes sometimes looking at Rougui Concubine and sometimes looking at Concubine Ying.
Concubine Ying wore a beige embroidered orchid dress and a bun on her head. Or because he was in a hurry to go out, he only had a few beaded flowers on his head that were not bright, and he did not shake the hairpin. At this time, he was sitting at the bottom of Queen Zhu's hand eating tea, with a calm face, ignoring Queen Zhu's eyes.
Concubine Ying always looks like she is not contaminated with any right and wrong in the harem, as if she is watching the excitement.
Rou Guifei sat at the bottom of Concubine Ying, wearing a brown embroidered phalaenopsis placket palace dress, with a side bun on her head and a hairpin full of pearls. Concubine Rou is also eating tea, but occasionally she looks at Queen Zhu, so that her eyes can always meet Queen Zhu.
Behind Concubine Ying and Concubine Rougui, there sat Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling. A trace of irritability flashed in Concubine Yu's eyes, either because she couldn't rest well in her temple on this rainy day, or because of something else.
Concubine Ling was completely looking at the excitement, tilting her head slightly, swaying lightly, staring at the corridor outside the Changxin Palace.
Emperor Yong'an's next hand sat Concubine Ren, who was wearing a blue embroidered willow leaf placket palace dress, with a lily bun on her head, a pale face, and empty eyes.
On the ground of the Changxia Palace, there was a group of palace maids and eunuchs kneeling. From time to time, the timid palace maid sobbed, and then the voice was gone.
As soon as Lingxi entered the Changxia Palace, he smelled the smell of blood in the Changxia Palace. Just as she wanted to wrinkle her nose, she felt that the concubines sitting there saw her come in, and all their eyes fell on her.
Lingxi was a little flustered by these sights, and only lowered his head and walked slowly in front of Emperor Yong'an, facing Emperor Yong'an, "The concubines see the emperor, see the queen's mother." ”
After Emperor Yong'an raised his hand at her, Lingxi walked up to Concubine Ying and blessed Concubine Ying, "Concubine see Concubine Ying." ”
Concubine Ying put down the teacup in her hand, withdrew her inquiring gaze and bowed slightly at Lingxi, "Concubine Ying, please get up." ”
Lingxi smiled back, got up and walked in front of Concubine Ren, and blessed Concubine Ren, "Concubine see Concubine Ren." ”
Concubine Ren looked at Lingxi with big empty eyes, as if she hadn't heard Lingxi's words. After a long while, he pulled the corners of his mouth that were slightly stiff, and said to Lingxi with a smile, "Concubine Ying, please get up." ”
After Lingxi got up, he walked in front of Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling, and blessed Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling, who stood up.
After Lingxi finished the salute, he saw that Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu had no intention of giving a seat, so he stood under Concubine Ren's hand, and the beautiful eyes were all in the eyes of the situation in the Changxia Palace.
Suddenly, Concubine Xin hurriedly walked in from outside the Changxia Palace holding the hand of the palace maid, the light purple palace dress on her body was half wet by the rain, and the loose falling ponytail on her head also looked a little messy, and she was about to fall off with a staggering step, and she could see that she was in a hurry when she came.
After Concubine Xin finished greeting all the concubines present, Queen Zhu said coldly, "Give Concubine Xin a seat." ”
A small palace maid carved a round stool was placed under Concubine Ren, and Concubine Xin looked at Lingxi suspiciously, and sat down slowly.
Lingxi moved the lotus step lightly, and stood at the bottom of Xin Concubine again, and her heart became more and more uneasy.
After a while, the noble concubine walked in from outside the Changxia Hall with Xiang Er's hand, and the corners of her skirt were also wet. With a snail bun on his head, there are a few raindrops on the beaded flowers of the hairpin, which are shining, taking advantage of the noble concubine like a hibiscus out of the water.
As soon as the concubine walked in from the gate of the palace, Concubine Yu, Concubine Ling, and Concubine Xin stood up one after another. After Xian Guifei finished asking Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu to say goodbye, Lingxi and the other three concubines asked Xian Guifei to say goodbye.
Empress Zhu still gave the noble concubine seat in a cold voice. A little palace maid added a round stool to Xin Concubine's hand, and Xin Concubine consciously gave up the seat close to Concubine Ren to Xian Gui Concubine, and sat on the newly moved round stool.
Lingxi, still standing.
After the noble concubines sat down, Empress Zhu glanced at the concubines with sharp eyes, and then said loudly, "Today's heavy rain, I didn't want to toss you." But today's events are extraordinary, and the emperor and the palace are very sad! Not only is it sad that there is no dragon heir in this harem, but I also feel sorry for you as a concubine, but you are vicious and vicious! ”
The concubines hurriedly stood up and bowed down to Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, "The concubines are panicked!" ”
"Panic?!" Empress Zhu's willow eyebrows stood firm, and she said angrily, "If you are really afraid, how can you do such a vicious thing!" ”
Although the concubines were still restrained, they couldn't help but look around with their spare eyes. In the end, they all fixed their eyes on Lingxi's body, because only Lingxi entered the Changxia Palace, and Queen Zhu did not give a seat.
Lingxi's heart was also worried, his heart jumped to his throat, his ears buzzed, and he listened to the sound of rain outside the hall, as if it came from another world.
Emperor Yong'an suddenly raised his head, looked at the concubines in the first hall and said coldly, "Kneel down for me." ”
