Chapter Ninety-Four: Natural and Man-made Disasters
Gift? Degassing?
Lingxi looked at the butterfly talent in front of him, and the fear he had never felt before suddenly rose in his heart.
This fear is not due to the Butterfly Talent himself, but from the last knowledge of what is in the palace at the moment.
Before giving birth to the fifth prince, Lingxi would always pay attention to the state of the concubines in the harem, with his experience in the harem for more than ten years, even if he couldn't feel the direction clearly, he could also feel the rough.
But since the birth of the fifth prince, she has thrown all her heart on the five princes, and she has become less and less concerned about the petty fights between the concubines. Every day, when Xiao Dezi came back to report, she also listened to it as if she was watching flowers, and she didn't put it in her heart at all.
In a state of confusion about the things in the harem, Lingxi couldn't figure out what Diecai said and what he did at this time.
Concubine Yu looked at Lingxi's slightly frowning willow eyebrows, and said with a clever smile, "Sister Ying, I don't know what kind of gift Diecai gave, why did you still reconcile and get involved?" ”
Lingxi smiled back, hiding a trace of uneasiness in his eyes, and said with a smile, "This palace is also doubtful in my heart." Diecai humanely offended Bengong, but Bengong didn't feel that Diecai was offended at all. Therefore, this so-called great gift, this palace is really deserved. ”
Yi Jieyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Concubine Ying Niangniang is kind and kind, it must be misinterpreted by Butterfly talents." However, the concubine is also very curious, what kind of gift did the Diecai people give, it sounds strange, and it can relieve anger. ”
Butterfly Cai looked directly at Lingxi, and said with a meaningful smile, "That must be the concubine's heart is panicked, and she understands the wrong concubine's intentions." However, He Lichen's concubine was sent to the Lingyan Hall with the people of the palace, and I hope that the concubine can accept it with a smile. ”
Lingxi Shui's eyes turned lightly, and he smiled, "If you send it, this palace will accept it." But this palace really didn't annoy you, so please don't worry about it. ”
"The concubine must be kind, but the concubine is wrong......"
Lingxi was suddenly speechless, and when he said this, it seemed that he was pretending to be stupid no matter what he said, so he refused to forgive Diecairen.
"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived."
A loud singing came from outside the hall to relieve Lingxi's encirclement, and Lingxi hurriedly stood up and saluted Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu with the concubines.
Diecai stood beside Lingxi, and when everyone greeted Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu with blessings, he whispered to Lingxi, "Concubine Ren must be heartbroken now......
Concubine Ren must be heartbroken now......
Concubine Ren is of course heartbroken now, what is more heartbreaking than watching her child die in front of her eyes?
But what does the butterfly mean when he says this? Lingxi was puzzled.
In the middle of the palace banquet, Xian Guifei sat down beside Lingxi and asked Lingxi, "Sister, this butterfly is a clever person on weekdays, what makes you feel hearted?" ”
Lingxi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "Sister also thinks that I am annoyed by Butterfly talents?" ”
Xian Guifei covered her mouth and smiled, and whispered, "It's not that I think you annoyed Diecai, but now I'm afraid the emperor will also think that you annoyed her." ”
Lingxi looked up at Emperor Yong'an. Seeing that Diecai was sitting next to Emperor Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an chuckled and said something to Diecairen, his eyes still swept to Lingxi's side from time to time. Seeing that Lingxi was looking at him, Emperor Yongan held his wine glass and drank a glass with Lingxi.
Le Meiren sat on the other side of Emperor Yong'an, and although the corners of her mouth were smiling, they were already stiff.
Empress Zhu was talking and laughing with Concubine Ying, and Concubine Rou was sitting on her seat, her eyes swept to Queen Zhu and Concubine Ying from time to time, her eyes were shining, and the smile on her face looked unfathomable.
After scanning all the things in this side hall, Lingxi found that the eyes of many concubines were more or less staring at him, with exploration in his eyes.
"I don't think I can tell." Lingxi retracted his gaze and showed a wry smile on his face, and said in his heart that this butterfly talent is indeed a capable person, who can toss a small thing so excitingly.
Xian Guifei whispered to Lingxi, "Now you and I are both concubines with imperial heirs, and in terms of status in this harem, it is more than enough to be compared to the top. Sister, although Diecai is a scheming person, he will not take the initiative to provoke us in the end. If you can, you can pass. ”
Lingxi knew that it was useless to say more, so he smiled at Xian Guifei and said, "Sister, my sister will not embarrass the butterfly, you can rest assured." ”
Xian Guifei patted Lingxi's hand with her hand with an emerald ring, and said with a smile in her eyebrows, "If my sister can say this, I will be relieved." I will not let the emperor persuade you, lest you be angry with your own body. ”
Lingxi was startled and hurriedly said, "Sister, did the emperor ask you to come?" ”
Xian Guifei nodded, and then smiled, "If it was my previous temperament, I would definitely not be able to swallow this evil breath." When the emperor told me to persuade you, I still thought in my heart, dare to bully my sister, I really don't want to live. If I don't help you bully back, where is the reason to be a lobbyist? But after smallpox, I also thought it clearly, we are concubines in the harem together, and we are all hard-working people, so we have to spare people and spare people. ”
After hearing this, Lingxi calculated in his heart, and cooperated with the emperor to find Xian Gui Concubine as a lobbyist, which was removed from October, and it seemed that it was not long after his congenital deficiency became ill.
In this way, the emperor has long thought that she is interested in Diecai, so she will be sick.
This, this is really inexplicable. Butterfly is obviously looking for trouble by herself, and she doesn't blame her, her eyes are so well known, what are you trying to do?
Seeing that Lingxi was in a daze, the noble concubine shook Lingxi's hand and said, "My sister has been by the side of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager for many years, can't she even figure these things out?" ”
Lingxi shook the hand of the noble concubine back, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "It must have made sense, I have never had a heart-to-heart with a butterfly talent." I think that if Diecai misunderstood, I must have something wrong with me, so I will go to her to accompany her, so as not to let the emperor say that I am stingy. ”
The talented man chuckled, looked at Emperor Yong'an and smiled at her, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate now......"
Lingxi followed the eyes of the talented people, and saw that the person sitting next to Emperor Yong'an at this time was no longer a butterfly talent. Rather, it is Wan Baolin.
Wan Baolin's cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes looked at Emperor Yong'an with affection, his face full of obsession. Emperor Yong'an also chuckled and looked at Wan Baolin, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
This kind of tenderness has never been seen before.
Lingxi, who had already held the wine glass in his hand, put the wine glass down again, and chuckled at the noble concubine, "It's not appropriate, let's wait a while." ”
There was no accident, that night Emperor Yong'an summoned Wan Baolin to sleep in the Manna Palace.
And when Lingxi also returned to the Lingyan Palace, he saw the 'big gift' sent by the Butterfly Talent - a letter.
Only one sentence was written in the letter, "With the life of the four princes, can the concubine still be satisfied?" ”
Lingxi sat down on the low kang after seeing it, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.
Seeing that Lingxi's face was not good, Lotus Ye hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Lingxi came back to his senses, hurriedly asked Lotus Ye to call Qiaozhu and Xiao Dezi, and asked anxiously on his face, "In addition to that rosary, has Butterfly Talent given other things?" If you think about it, you must think about it carefully!! Especially the affairs used by the five princes, have you ever received her? ”
On weekdays, it is Qiaozhu who is responsible for accepting and managing these things, Qiaozhu stood in the inner hall, and after thinking about it, he said affirmatively, "Niangniang, Diecai only sent that rosary, and did not send anything else." There has never been one with the five princes, and the slaves and maids can be sure. ”
Lingxi held a pounding heart, and finally put his heart down.
"Mother, what's wrong? But what happened? Lotus asked cautiously.
The corners of Lingxi's mouth provoked a sneer, "Smallpox is not a natural disaster, but **." I'm really underestimating Butterfly's talent, I haven't seen such a ruthless character for many years. ”
After hearing this, Lotus Ye took a breath of cool air, lowered her voice and said, "Niangniang, Butterfly people don't really have that much courage, right?" ”
"How could it not be?" Lingxi let Xiao Dezi light the fire, and turned the letter written by Diecai into ashes, "Everything has been done, what else is there to dare?" ”
Xiao Dezi threw the melted paper ashes into the spittoon, shook his hands twice and said, "Niangniang, the slave doesn't understand." If it was really made by Diecai, then why did she give it to you as a gift? ”
This is exactly what Lingxi wonders. What are the butterfly people doing this for? If it is said that the butterfly talent is angry with himself to please himself, it makes no sense at all.
Butterfly talent can unknowingly let the four princes suffer from smallpox, and not let others be suspicious, this means, this mind is beyond the reach of others, where is the need to seek the help of Lingxi?
Lingxi smiled bitterly in his heart, filial piety and the Empress Dowager really looked up to herself. This butterfly talent has one trick after another, and she is afraid that climbing to the concubine position is just around the corner, where can she help by her side?
"Niangniang, aren't you afraid that you will tell the emperor about this?" Lotus Ye asked cautiously, "By then, she won't have enough heads to cut off." ”
"Tell the emperor? Will the emperor believe it? Lingxi sneered, "The Butterfly Cai people came to greet me in October, and I fell ill the next day." After a cursory investigation, the emperor will think that she is angry with me. But the emperor didn't dispose of her, but he also promoted her to the position, and ordered the noble concubine to come and say yes, which shows that the emperor still loves her very much. If I tell the emperor now that she got the smallpox in the palace, the emperor will probably think that I am jealous, and think that I am framing her......" Lingxi paused, and then said, "Besides, since she dares to tell me, she must have been fully prepared." If I really denounce her, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch the fox in the end, and I will cause a lot of trouble......"
In the end, Lingxi said, "In the future, the clothes worn by the five princes must be boiled in boiling water before they can be worn by him." Let Xia Qing and the others too, no matter what time they have to wash their hands before hugging the five princes, and let the two nurses also pay attention to their diet at all times, and they must not let others take advantage of the five princes. ”
Lotus leaves and Qiaozhu Lianlianfu are called yes.
Lingxi calmed down after telling him everything in detail, and said indifferently after taking a sip of tea, "As long as the five princes are fine, they can take out any tricks......
