Chapter 21 Shou'an Palace
When Concubine Lan saw Su Wenmei looking at her, she looked away with some weakness, but she looked extremely uncomfortable. Behind her, followed by a half-masked eunuch.
"Concubine Niangniang, today is the first day of Concubine Wen's entry into the palace, the emperor is benevolent, and it is also appropriate to take more care of Concubine Wen. Please don't mind, the concubine. Concubine Hui got up from her chair, walked to Su Wenmei's side, and knelt down to intercede for her.
"Well, get up. Today, this palace is not intent on punishing you, but you have to remember that serving the emperor in the palace must abide by your duty. The palace is respectful and orderly, and pampering and arrogance is a taboo for concubines. β
"Yes." Concubine Hui and Concubine Wen both got up and sat on the seats on both sides of the palace.
The concubines and concubines spoke for a while, until the virtuous concubine said that she was a little tired, and the concubines and concubines of the palace retreated from Fangyi Palace one after another.
The palace road is very long, and after walking for a long time, there is no one in front of him, and Bing'er said: "Niangniang, Nalan Concubine Niangniang......"
"Shhhh......hh β
"Yes." Bing Er swallowed back what he had to say. Walking all the way, Concubine Wen whispered: "At least for now, we are safe in the palace." β
"Sister Wenfei." A woman's voice came from behind her: "Sister Wenfei." β
Su Wenmei turned her head, but saw Concubine Lan looking at her with a smile on her face, and walked towards her quickly: "Sister Concubine Wen, you are walking so fast." β
"Concubine Lan." She blessed Concubine Lan: "Concubine Lan is looking for a concubine, but what's the matter?" β
"It's not that important." Concubine Lan saluted her back: "It's just that now the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and I want to invite my sister to go and watch it together, I wonder if my sister is free?" β
"Concubine Lan, although the flowers in the imperial garden are beautiful, they are common." She looked at Mo Lanchang with a little naΓ―ve and ignorant in her eyes.
"The concubine heard that there is a strange flower called ylang-ylang in southern Fujian, the flowers bloom in deep valleys, and the fragrance is charming, but it is born in the deep mountains and valleys, it is not easy to transplant, and it is not common, so it is a pity that you can't see it."
When Concubine Lan heard the three words of Yilanxiang, her face changed in an instant. The change in expression at this moment was fully visible to Su Wenmei. Bing'er stood behind Su Wenmei, obviously seeing the changes on Concubine Lan's face, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in her heart.
But you still have to keep smiling. Su Wenmei was silent, and she still had a decent smile on her face. Penang lowered her head, looking humble and submissive.
"Concubine Lan, the concubine is just casually emotional, and please don't blame the concubine for being abrupt. When the concubine first came to the palace, there were still many things that had not yet been placed, so today, I really couldn't accompany Concubine Lan to enjoy the flowers. She nodded at Concubine Lan, her moist eyes looking innocent and ignorant. Then he blessed himself and left with Bing'er.
Mo Lanyan involuntarily clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and she swallowed: "Go back to the palace." β
Mo Lanchang hurriedly returned to the palace and poured her a cup of tea: "Niangniang." She took the tea with a slight tremor in her hand: "What about the spring water?" You go and call Chunshui, this palace has something to ask her. β
He left the dormitory and called Chunshui in: "Niangniang told you to go in." β
"Mother." Chunshui entered the dormitory and knelt in front of Concubine Lan.
"Spring water." Concubine Lan stepped forward and held Chunshui's wrist tightly. Chunshui's sleeves were lifted by Concubine Lan, and a straight scar from the wrist to the back of the hand was particularly obvious.
She looked at Chunshui's eyes: "She mentioned ylang-ylang in front of the palace today!" Chunshui, what handle did you leave in the Gu Mansion at the beginning? Concubine Lan asked a little flustered.
"Mother, there is no such thing. If she left a handle, she could go to the emperor to expose it. Perhaps, she was just suspicious and tempted the mother. Chunshui looked at Concubine Lan, and then said: "Niangniang today, in front of Concubine Wen, there is no gaffe, right?" β
Mo Lanchang shook her head, thinking back to the scene where she talked to Su Wenmei today: "I don't think so. β
She helped Chunshui up: "When Daddy asked you and Ah Yin to enter the palace to help the palace, the two of you were indeed the right-hand men of the palace in the past. β
"It's just that now that Ayin is gone, only you are left, and this palace has to treat you well. In the future, as long as you want something, just mention it to this palace, and this palace will try its best to give you what it can give you. She looked at the spring water and said.
Because Chunshui often helped Concubine Lan do some things that were not on the table, in order to hide her identity, she only became a second-class palace maid, and she was mixed in with more than a dozen palace people in Shulan Palace.
Chunshui pursed his lips: "Chunshui and Ah Yin have been greatly favored by the Mo family, so they obey Master Mo's orders and swear allegiance to Niangniang, Niangniang doesn't have to mind." β
Jinyun Palace.
At this time, Su Wenmei had returned to Jinyun Palace. As soon as he entered the palace gate, dozens of palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and saluted: "Slaves (slaves) see Concubine Wen." β
"This ......" Su Wenmei was a little confused by this sudden situation, and she hadn't come back to her senses yet.
"Concubine Wen, the slave is Zheng Mingli, the head of the Internal Affairs Office. The emperor sent someone to the Internal Affairs Office early this morning, instructed the servants, and ordered the servants to pick some good palace people to come over and make a special trip to serve the mother. "The eunuch at the head is the chief of internal affairs, and he is kneeling at the front at this moment.
"The emperor also instructed that today, be sure to put Niangniang's belongings clearly and add some bonsai."
"Let's be flat." Su Wenmei stood, the whole person looked clear and upright, she smiled at the corner of her eyes, and said to Gonggong Zheng: "The emperor has a heart, and his father-in-law has a heart." β
"Wen Mei, did you go to greet the concubine in the morning?" Cheng Qian's voice came from behind her, Wen Mei turned around and saluted: "The concubine greets the emperor." β
Cheng Qian helped her up. Today, he was dressed in a dragon suit, with a golden crown on his head, and he was extremely handsome: "Jinyun Palace still needs to be placed and placed, I will take you out for a walk." He didn't take the sedan chair, but took her by the hand and took her all the way to the pear garden outside the Chonghua Palace.
When the pear garden met that day, the chill of early spring had not passed, and the pear blossoms had a bit of proud frost and snow; Now, the pear blossoms outside the Chonghua Palace are blooming more luxuriantly, and pieces of falling Ying fall between the two of them, and Cheng Qian looked at her with a smile.
"You and I met in the pear garden that day, in the final analysis, this pear blossom is still our matchmaker." Cheng Qian looked at her with a smile, pulled her into his arms, and was about to kiss her.
"Your Majesty." Su Wenmei blushed, stretched out her hand to block it, and her green fingertips pressed on Cheng Gan's mouth: "The palace people who come and go here, if you see it, it will be indecent, indecent......"
Cheng Qian looked at her delicate look and moist eyes, and he couldn't care so much. He took her hand down and pressed it to his chest, wrapped his other hand around her, and kissed her fiery lips. The pear blossom is sweet, with three points of coldness, and a little dip into the tip of the nose.
"Hmm......" The kiss was long, and he didn't let go until Su Wenmei was about to kick out of breath, looking at her red face and smiling.
It is said that the emperor is a serious person, although he is not very old, he is majestic in front of the old ministers. But in Su Wenmei's eyes, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"You don't see me in the right way." Cheng Qian stretched out his hand to pull the hair behind her head and said, "Every time you look at me like this, I want to ......"
I want to wipe you clean. I've thought about it for a long time, and I thought about it when I was in the Full Moon Tower.
"Your Majesty." Before Su Wenmei finished speaking, Cheng Qian kissed her again.
Su Wenmei was a little angry and a little palpitating.
She and Cheng Qian walked around the pear garden for most of the time before walking to Jinyun Palace. When I came back, Jinyun Palace had already been cleaned up, there were more blessed land dwarf pines in the courtyard, and the tables, chairs and benches inside were replaced with the latest fragrant yellow sandalwood.
Cheng Qian had lunch in Jinyun Palace, and because there were still some things in the court, he reluctantly left.
Shou'an Palace.
"The Queen Mother, the virtuous concubine is here, and she asks to see the Queen Mother outside the door." Aunt Shuyun entered the Shou'an Palace and said: "Do you want to see the Queen Mother?" β
"Today is not the day for her to say goodbye, let alone come so early." The Queen Mother placed the Buddha beads on the sandalwood table, turned around and sat on the chair: "That's it, please let her in." β
"The concubine sees the Queen Mother." Zhuang Xianren entered the Shou'an Palace and saluted the Queen Mother.
"Let's be flat." The Queen Mother spoke, and Shu Yun went down to pour tea: "You came to see the mourning family today, but what's the matter?" β
"The father of the concubine recently got a few new snow-topped satins, and specially asked the concubine to dedicate it to the queen mother, showing a little filial piety." The Queen Mother ordered her to sit down. As she spoke, she summoned Ruoli and presented the smooth silk brocade to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's hand stroked the dark and atmospheric, silky smooth and soft material, and said with a smile: "This is an excellent snow-topped satin, which is extremely difficult to obtain, Lord Zhuang and you have a heart." β
"The Queen Mother, the concubine is the emperor's concubine, and she is also half of the Queen Mother's daughter-in-law, and it is also appropriate to be filial to the Queen Mother. It's just ......" Zhuang Xianren paused and didn't go on.
"Haha, if you have anything to say, here in the mourning family, you might as well say it directly." The Queen Mother touched the hand of the snow-topped satin for a moment, and vaguely guessed what she was going to express next, but she didn't make it clear.
"It's just that the Queen Mother, the concubine, as a concubine, should have bred heirs for the royal family and spread out their branches. Now it seems that it is very difficult. β
The Queen Mother's smile faded away.
"Don't hide it from the queen mother, the concubine has been in the palace for more than a month, but on the first night of entering the palace, the emperor went to other concubines, and the concubines waited for a day and a night."
After that, the concubines looked forward to it every day, but the emperor only came once. also only said that the state affairs were busy, and most of the excerpts were approved, so the concubines are still ......"
After listening to Concubine Xian's words, anger slowly rose in her heart.
The emperor has always been sensible, and there are many things that the queen mother doesn't have to worry about too much. However, in this matter, something is wrong. In the final analysis, in addition to the Queen Mother, the virtuous concubine is the head of the six palaces, and in this way, I am afraid of losing people's hearts.
"The emperor is the lord of the world, and he should put state affairs first. In the past, when the emperor was here, if he was busy, he couldn't sleep all night. The Queen Mother was relieved: "Don't worry, the virtuous concubine is in a hurry, the coming days are long, and there is still more time to extend the heirs in the future." β
