Chapter 157: The phantom body is helpless and haggard
Thinking of the confrontation between Fang Cai and the Queen Mother, Lan Xin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Even if the emperor does this, it is to return the queen mother to color, what may be, isn't there no evidence. "The concubines understand the emperor's thoughts, but after all, the queen mother is the queen mother of Chongqing......"
The Empress Dowager Chongqing is the Xi Guifei of the first emperor, and the Empress Dowager of Taiqing, isn't these enough to explain everything. Hongli smiled, and his sorrow gradually faded: "The queen is right, the queen mother is the queen mother." "Whether she admits in her heart or not, she is the queen mother. Such an incomparable and prominent identity is the glorious strategy of the Forbidden City's remnants for decades.
"The emperor, the queen's mother, Gao Xiang and Gao Gonggong ask to see." Jin Lan stood outside the door, and said in a clear and elegant voice.
Hongli's face suddenly changed, and there was a little indifference mixed in the heaviness.
Lan Xin saw that his face was not good-looking, so he said, "Let him in." β
Only then did Jinlan push open the door and said calmly: "Father-in-law Gao, please." β
Gao Xiang smiled awkwardly at her and walked in with a bow. "The emperor is auspicious, the queen is auspicious." After a thousand fights, Gao Xiang only felt that the tears on his face were about to drip down.
"If Gonggong Gao came to pick up Xiao Changzi, it would be too late." Duo Lan sneered coldly, and without waiting for the queen to speak, she complained: "Even the slaves and maids know that how many people they bring here, they must lead as many people back." Why does Father-in-law Gao just lead the little father-in-law under him to do things, and everyone doesn't care about this palace? β
"Dolan." Although Lan Xin told her to stop, her tone was smooth and she didn't mean to reprimand. "Father-in-law Gao is afraid that he has a reason for doing things."
Hearing this, Gao Xiang hurriedly said: "What the queen mother said is exactly that the queen mother is afraid that the criminal maid is secretly hiding in the Changchun Palace and threatening the safety of the queen mother, so she let the slave keep an eye and stare secretly." It was the slave who forgot about it and secretly told the mother about it, which bred such misunderstandings. β
While saying this, Gao Xiang's knees weakened and he knelt down. When Fu raised his face again, his face was happy: "The slave came, one is to confess, and the other is to say goodbye." β
"Daoxi?" This made Lan Xin incomprehensible.
Hongli watched coldly and ignored Gao Xiang's words, in fact, he really had an impulse to go to Cining Palace and ask the Queen Mother face-to-face for understanding. Whether it's or isn't or not, you can say it clearly in a simple sentence. Even if the Queen Mother is really not a relative, Hongli does not dare to forget the nurturing grace of these years.
But in the end, whether the mother is Manchu or Han, whether she is the concubine of the first emperor or the red face of the flowers, and even how she died, why did the people who knew these past events die in surprise one after another......
Why does the Queen Mother refuse to say it clearly, she can't give up her glory and wealth, or is she the power above ten thousand people under one person? Could it be that she has been raising herself for so many years for these schemes? Is the mother-son relationship, which is so shallow that it will make your heart ache, really a naked use?
"Congratulations to the emperor, concubine." Lan Xin listened to Gao Xiang's words, his face was happy, and he leaned over to congratulate. β¨Hongli was pulled back to reality by this sentence, but what Gao Xiang said before, and why Lan Xin said hello, he didn't pay attention to a word. "You lead Xiao Changzi's body to go, if you want to throw the mass grave or bury it, you will go."
Gao Xiang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he clearly told the emperor and the queen that Concubine Hui Gao Lingxi was pregnant, and she was talking with the queen mother in Cining Palace. Why is the emperor completely absent-minded, and his mouth is full of either corpses or mass graves.
These words were extremely unpleasant, and even Lan Xin felt very unbearable. "Your Majesty, the concubines have the courage to ask the emperor for permission to let Xue Guining deal with Xiao Changzi...... Corpse bar. β
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Lan Xinyou hurriedly raised her phoenix eyebrows, and said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to the emperor, concubine Hui is pregnant." There is another little brother in the harem. β
"Hui Guifei is pregnant?" Hongli came back to his senses at this time, and his gloomy face suddenly showed a bright look of relief, full of joy like spring: "Ling Xi is pregnant!" This is great, go Lan Xin, follow me to see her. β
Gao Xiang hurriedly stood up with the emperor, cleared his throat, and said crisply: "The Queen Mother is unwell, and Concubine Hui originally came to serve the sick with kindness. Who knew that he fainted, and the queen mother summoned the imperial doctor to take a look, only to learn that it was Concubine Hui who was pregnant. At this time, I am resting in Cining Palace, please ask the emperor and the queen to move to Cining Palace. β
"Concubine Hui is pregnant, so she won't have to serve in the future." Hongli doesn't like the person he likes to get mixed with the Queen Mother.
Lan Xin couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw that the emperor finally showed a smile, and hurriedly said: "It's the concubine who wrote it down, and the custody will no longer let Hui Guifei's sister work." Following the emperor's steps and walking out, Lan Xin did not forget to give Xue Guining a look, and asked him to take the opportunity to dispose of Xiao Changzi.
If the corpse is really sent to Cining Palace, it may mean that inside and outside the forbidden palace, how can the court criticize the emperor. Where is there a son, rewarded the death of the slaves in the Eniang Palace, and sent the corpse back "to set an example". Lan Xin saw that he probably couldn't resist the emperor, so he had to do so.
Lan Xin's worries have not been put on Concubine Hui for the time being. It's just thinking about the emperor and the queen mother. The harem is restless, not necessarily between concubines and concubines, but may also involve the most noble mother and son in the world.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang is auspicious." Duo Lan watched Le Lan help Concubine Xian in, and called out as if reminding. This attracted the attention of the emperor and the queen.
Panyu couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this scene, and said: "The concubine has nothing to do, I wanted to ask the queen to say goodbye, but I didn't want the emperor to be there." But seeing that the two of them were preparing to go to the chariot, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: "Dare to ask the emperor and Niangniang, where are you going?" β
Hongli saw that it was Pan Yu, and a smile appeared on his thin lips: "Concubine Xian came just in time, go to Cining Palace with me to see Ling Xi." β
Go to Cining Palace to see Concubine Hui? Pan Yu was a little puzzled, but she was not blind to the joy on the emperor's face, she only nodded lightly, and followed the emperor and queen into the same chariot. "What's wrong with Concubine Hui?"
Lan Xin spoke on behalf of the emperor, gentle and calm, and his joy became stronger: "Gao Xiang came to tell me that Concubine Hui fainted when she was sick in Cining Palace, and asked the imperial doctor to come and see that Concubine Hui was pregnant." When the emperor heard the good news, he hurried to see her, and when you came, he went to take her back to the palace to rest. β
Picking up Concubine Hui to go back to the palace to rest, Hongli listened to it very useful, and he also planned to do so.
Panyu couldn't believe her ears, Hui Guifei was pregnant, Hui Guifei was pregnant...... Hui Guifei...... Really pregnant. This is a veritable and graceful combination. not only has a glorious identity, but also has all the grace of the emperor, and has the hope that the future mother will be expensive by her son.
Concubine Hui is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and as soon as she enters the palace, she is a concubine canonized by the emperor, and it is not impossible to ridicule the imperial concubine in the future. The imperial concubine is not far from the queen after all.
The smile on Panyu's face was as thick as honey, and it was so sweet that people couldn't wait to add a mouthful. But the coldness in my heart is not warm even if I am wrapped in ten layers of brocade. Why did she have everything, but she didn't have anything? The person who jumped up from the handmaiden, how could he really soar to 90,000 miles?
Looking at the queen's gentle and relieved smile, Panyu's heart was even more uncomfortable, and the queen was still willing to teach herself at this time. If Concubine Hui gets a man, this situation will inevitably change. Perhaps, without waiting for her to give birth to the imperial heir, the queen no longer values herself.
Honor is based on the times, who can predict tomorrow's events.
Panyu is useless to hate herself, she is obviously much older than Concubine Hui, and she became the emperor's favored woman earlier than her, why in the end, she is not as good as her. "Concubine Hui is pregnant, it is really a happy event, and the concubine is both happy and envious when she hears this."
The pale cheeks are slightly pink, but they are much better looking than the lightly coated powder. Hongli looked at Panyu's well-behaved and docile appearance, and temporarily forgot her usual fierceness and stubbornness, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be envious, you can add a few little brothers to me sooner or later, or a little princess who is as smart as you." β
Lan Xin smiled, covered her lips and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines can hear it clearly, and in the palace of the concubine's sister in the future, you can't go less." The concubine is the mother-in-law, and it is a blessing for the Qing Dynasty to help the sisters of the Six Palaces raise their elder brother and princess well and reproduce their heirs. β
is still a little selfish, Lan Xin hopes that the emperor can look back. Whether the queen mother is the biological mother is difficult to verify for a while, but the Qing Dynasty will not change because of these, the emperor is the emperor, and the people will not care whether he has Han blood in his veins. On the contrary, what they care more about is whether the life is smooth or not, whether the country is rich or not, and it is the right thing to live and work in peace and contentment.
The reason is obvious, and Lan Xin knows that the emperor also understands. It's just that she doesn't want the emperor to keep everything in her heart and be unhappy. "The concubine thought that Concubine Hui Guifei had always been weak, and this first child had to be carefully cared for. Why don't you let the internal affairs government pick more slaves and maids who are quick and can do things. Now by Concubine Hui's side, there is only Bi Lan left, lest there be a shortage of manpower. β
When Pan Yu heard this, she felt that this was an excellent opportunity, and couldn't help but say: "The concubine heard that Baolan, who used to serve with Concubine Hui, is still doing rough work in Xinzheku. This Baolan has also followed Concubine Hui's close maid from the house, so why don't you be transferred back to Chuxiu Palace to serve. In the end, she understands the temperament of Concubine Hui better than the new maid. The concubine was also afraid that Concubine Hui would not adapt to pregnancy, so she did not hesitate to give birth to someone close. β
How could he not understand Concubine Xian's thoughts, Lan Xin sighed silently, if she said this, the emperor would probably be gracious. But why should she, if Concubine Hui really cares about Baolan so much, why didn't she send her back to the palace to serve earlier? This juncture is blocked, and Concubine Xian can't get over her heart after all.
Lan Xin's cold eyes, disguised by a smile, fell on Concubine Xian's calm face, and asked calmly and solemnly: "Does Concubine Xian really think it is appropriate to do this?" β
