Chapter 348: The Imperial Concubine
Concubine Qin regained her grace, no one knows what methods she used, only that now she and Jing Jieyu are neck and neck, and a companion is by the side of Emperor Yong'an, I don't know how many palace concubines to envy.
From the time of being pregnant with the dragon heir to the postpartum recovery, it took a total of one year and three months. When she appeared in front of Emperor Yong'an again, the momentum of her former favor of the Sixth Palace was a thing of the past.
Mo Concubine was relatively round before giving birth, and after giving birth, she showed a slightly fat state, and there were three thousand beautiful flowers in the harem, how can Mo Concubine be compared now?
When Mo Concubine was full of desolation, Chen Concubine ushered in the spring of the past two years.
Concubine Chen has been waiting by the side of Emperor Yong'an for many years, and has a deep understanding of Emperor Yong'an's habits. With that little bit of understanding and knowing the pain and heat, her Changxia Palace has also become a place where Emperor Yong'an often stays.
Jing Jieyu, Qin Concubine, Chen Concubine, and Qing Concubine became the characters in the harem for a while.
They are kind on the surface, but in the secret they tear each other apart, fighting in the dark, regardless of the sun and the moon. Either Concubine Chen was put together by Jing Jieyu and Concubine Qing today, or Concubine Qin secretly suffered a big loss from Concubine Qing and Concubine Chen.
In short, there is no day that stops.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to April of the eleventh year of Yong'an.
On April 11, at the 20th birthday banquet of Jing Jieyu, Yongan decreed that Jin Zheng Sipin Jing Jieyu was given the rebuilt Jiyue Hall of the Tilting Cloud Palace for the third grade Jing Concubine.
Jing Concubine became the first concubine who did not conceive a dragon heir but lived in the concubine position, and her degree of favor was close to An Xiaowan back then.
Jing Concubine jumped to seal the concubine, and the waves in the hearts of Qin Concubine, Chen Concubine, and Qing Concubine were not small. So, a few people who had just been peaceful for a few days competed in secret again.
At the beginning of May, Concubine Jing and Concubine Qing were on the same camp, and Concubine Qin and Concubine Chen joined forces with each other. Between the four of them, a slight balance was finally found, and a situation of mutual checks and balances was formed.
On May 17 of the 11th year of Yong'an, the eleventh prince who was less than half a year old under the knees of Mo Concubine suffered from high fever.
Emperor Yong'an felt sorry for the emperor's heir and stayed in the palace of Mo Concubine for three consecutive nights. By the time Emperor Yong'an came out again, Mo Concubine's grace had already returned.
As a result, the situation of the four people in the harem cooperating in pairs to check and balance each other was broken by the addition of Mo Concubine.
Mo Concubine was snubbed by Emperor Yong'an for half a year, and the first thing she did to repeat her favor was to quickly stand on the side of Concubine Jing and ensure her position in Emperor Yong'an's heart.
The more lively the fight between these five people, the more idle Lingxi's life became.
She either deals with harem chores with Concubine Yu every day, or sits with Concubine Yu, chatting and drinking tea, and watching several princes and princesses under her knees have fun.
Concubine Yu's life was very comfortable, and the whole person was in good spirits, and before she met anyone, she had already pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled.
Therefore, the concubines in the harem will be a little in awe in their hearts when they look at Lingxi, but when they look at Concubine Yu, they are warm in their hearts.
Sometimes when I make a small mistake, I will ask Concubine Yu to go to the palace and let Concubine Yu come to Lingxi to intercede, and there will be a lot less reprimand.
One is deterred, the other is appeased, Lingxi and Concubine Yu used this black face and white face just right.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe was very satisfied with this, and she repeatedly praised Lingxi for managing the harem, but she still did not let go and agreed to establish Lingxi as the queen.
Such a comfortable day lasted until the tenth day of the seventh month, and Concubine Chen was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as being two months pregnant.
Concubine Chen has now raised two princesses under her knees, and if she gives birth to another one, I am afraid that she will be the first of the five to be promoted to a noble concubine. Maybe the concubine will be directly sealed, after all, there is only one concubine in the position of the fourth concubine now.
On July 15 of the 11th year of Yong'an, Chen Concubine had a miscarriage.
Emperor Yong'an knew that it was not easy for Concubine Chen's children to be raised, and after ordering the nine princesses under Concubine Chen's knees to be raised in the palace of the childless concubines, he ordered Lingxi to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Just when Lingxi pounced on the miscarriage of Concubine Chen, Xiao and the Empress Dowager suddenly fainted in the Changle Hall on July 25.
Lingxi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his mind was confused. After getting the permission of Emperor Yong'an, Lingxi gave everything in hand to Concubine Yu to take care of, and he stayed at the bedside of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager all day long.
After treating Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager several times, Imperial Physician Wang shook his head again and again, and said to Lingxi, who was holding back and not crying, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, the Empress Dowager is already a long-lived ......."
Needless to say, Lingxi already understood.
Xiao and the Empress Dowager knew her body, and when Lingxi was crying behind her back all day, she looked very indifferent, but said some reassuring words to Lingxi.
On the tenth day of the eighth month of the eleventh year of Yong'an, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, who had been ill for half a month, finally got better, and was able to get up from the bed and be supported by the spirit rhino to turn around a few times in the Changle Palace.
Lingxi smiled and held the hand of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and actually picked up interesting things for Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager to hear, which made Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager laugh uncontrollably.
Lingxi was smiling on his face, but he couldn't stop grieving in his heart.
She didn't know if the filial piety and the Empress Dowager were good at this time, and she didn't know if the Empress Dowager Xiaohe would be able to survive the coming winter if she was cured this time.
As if she could see through Lingxi's thoughts, Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager held Lingxi's white and delicate hands with her dry hands, and smiled indifferently, "Girl, the mourning family has lived a lot in this life. I think I have come from the beginning of the dynasty, which queen mother is not called Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose? But which one can really live to be a thousand years old? At this age of the mourning family, it is already the first one, and the mourning family is content. ”
Lingxi lowered his eyes to hide the tears in his eyes, and said with a smile in the most cheerful tone, "Ancestor, you will live a hundred years. ”
"It's 100 years old, it's 100 years old." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe held the hands of Lingxi and Zhiyue, and said while walking slowly, "Actually, what's the use of living at such an age?" ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe stopped, pointed to her eyes, and said to Lingxi, "I can't see clearly, I've been very old in the past two years." And ears, ears ......" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe pointed to her ears again and said, "If you speak quietly, the mourners will listen to it like a small mosquito buzzing in your ears, and you can't hear it clearly." ”
Lingxi smiled, raised his voice slightly, and said to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "Ancestor, you used to say that the concubine was a little monkey, and now you say that the concubine is a little mosquito. He concubine hasn't grown up for so many years......"
The Empress Dowager laughed when she heard this, and pointed to Lingxi and said, "You girl, you will make the mourners laugh all day long." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe was tired of walking, so she rested on the low kang. The thin breasts fell together, and the breath exhaled was always more than the breath inhaled.
Seeing that Xiao and the Empress Dowager were sleepy, Lingxi said, "Ancestor, let the concubine help you to sleep in the dormitory for a while, it's a little cold outside." ”
"No, don't ......" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe opened her eyes that were no longer clear, looked at Lingxi and waved her hand, "The mourning family is still in good spirits, what time is it now?" ”
Lingxi Meimu glanced at the incense bell burning on one side, and said, "If you go back to your ancestors, it's almost two o'clock." ”
"It's already this time." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and muttered, "The emperor should go down to court, right......?"
"It's been early, and now it's time to batch the folds in the Zichen Palace." Lingxi smiled, "Ancestor, but let the emperor come up and talk to you?" ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Well, I haven't seen him for a few days, let him come and talk to the mourning family." ”
Lingxi nodded, and sent Zhou An to the Zichen Palace to invite Emperor Yong'an, and he went to the small kitchen to make snacks for Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager.
When Lingxi finished the crystal wonton and returned to the Changle Hall with clean hands, he saw Feng Gongcheng standing outside the Changle Palace.
Not only Gonggong Feng stood outside the Changle Palace, but even the palace people who had been waiting in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe were standing outside the Changle Palace.
You don't have to ask to know that the Empress Dowager Xiaohe must be whispering something to Emperor Yong'an that others can't hear.
After standing outside for about a quarter of an hour, Emperor Yong'an came out of the inside. After a few words of advice to Zhiqiu and Zhiyue, he took another look at Lingxi and left.
As if he hadn't seen Emperor Yong'an's meaningful eyes, Lingxi only took the lotus leaf and brought the cooked crystal wonton into the Changle Palace.
On September 12 of the 11th year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an issued a decree to canonize Ye Guifei as Ye Huang Guifei, holding the phoenix order, which was the same as the deputy queen.
Since the founding of Dashun, the position of imperial concubine has been fictitious. Because as long as there is a queen, there is no need to register the imperial concubine as the deputy queen. [**~] .pen.
Lingxi received this holy decree in the Changle Palace, in front of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager.
After deducting Xie Longen, Lingxi knelt in front of Xiao and the Empress Dowager again. She knew that this holy decree of Emperor Yong'an was the meaning of filial piety and the Empress Dowager.
Xiao and the Empress Dowager sat on the low kang, squinted her eyes slightly, and asked, "Girl, do you blame the imperial grandmother?" ”
Lingxi shook her head and said in a firm tone, "The girl doesn't blame the imperial grandmother." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe took a deep breath and smiled with relief. She opened her eyes slightly, looked at Lingxi and said, "Girl, the mourning family has fought with concubines for the first half of their lives, and for life for the rest of their lives." Fighting with concubines, the mourning family won, but fighting with life, the mourning family lost. ”
In Lingxi's eyes full of doubts, Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager said again, "But even if you know that you will lose, the mourning family still has to fight again." Girl, I just wronged you......"
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe narrowed her eyes again and said lightly, "Ten years ago, if you could choose to follow King Rui instead of stubbornly wanting what freedom, what would be the situation now?" "One more is offered~
