Chapter 706 Only Chapter 707 Spring Palace
Hongluan just came to the mouth of the sentence "How can it be Mama you", was blocked by Mama Gong's words, and was startled when she heard that she was going to sleep: "Waiter? Tonight? Her face looked confused: "How so? When she talked to the queen yesterday, the queen was still calculating with her when she would be able to give birth - of course the queen later knew that she had been infected by Ning Cairen's infertility medicine early on, so naturally there was nothing to worry about Hongluan asking her to take it again.
The queen has nothing to worry about at the moment, there is only one thing she is worried about, she, Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui, and Yu Wanyi and others have all taken medicine, but Concubine Hua has not, and neither have Liu Cainu: their chances of getting pregnant are too great; Even if Ning Cairen is not favored by the emperor now, it is impossible not to go once with the Shangguan family in the emperor, and she is also a person who has not taken medicine.
According to the queen's thoughts, she really wanted to secretly drug these people again, but fortunately, her parents didn't agree and had to give up, which saved Hongluan from thinking about it again - Hongluan is also a person who has never taken medicine, of course she doesn't want to drink that kind of medicine for the sake of loyalty.
It is because there are many people in the palace who may be pregnant, and only Hongluan and Qi Zhaorong can be trusted by the queen when she thinks about it, especially Hongluan, who she thinks is more useful than Qi Zhaorong: In the words of her parents, she is the queen anyway, as long as it is the emperor's child, it is hers, you might as well recognize the son born by the concubine to her name first, and then have her own son before making plans. Therefore, the queen has hinted at Qi Zhaorong and Hongluan, counting on them to be one step ahead of others.
After Hongluan knew the queen's thoughts, she didn't have any special ideas, it wasn't that she didn't want to have a child of her own, but now it was by no means a good time to have children: none of the concubines had children, the first child and the first son were definitely the target of everyone, she didn't want her children to be in danger every day; She thinks the child will have to be reborn when she is able enough to protect it.
Qi Zhaorong thought differently from Hongluan, she once showed some dissatisfaction to Hongluan: The queen said it well, but she dominates the emperor every day, she just wants to give birth to a child, and she can't make her stomach bulge by herself. Of course, Hongluan laughed when he heard it, and since then, Qi Zhaorong has not been as affectionate as before.
Just yesterday, Hongluan hadn't thought that it would be her turn to go to bed, so how could it be Qi Zhaorong first, right? Of course, the queen would not let the emperor go to the other concubines when the queen Yuexin passed, making her think that it would be a long, long time before she wanted to sleep.
Mama Gong glanced up at Hongluan, and went over to help her sit down: "Niangniang is not ready?" Which of the concubines in the palace is not what you want to wear every day, Niangniang, you should have thought of it a long time ago. She put the tea into Hongluan's water: "You are already a noble concubine, and if you want to gain a foothold in the palace, the emperor is your only reliance, you can only go on." ”
Hongluan looked up at her for a long time and then took a sip of tea and put it down: "How can it be Mama?" She didn't mention the matter of sleeping again, as Mama Gong said, it was inevitable and inescapable, did it matter whether she was willing or not? Besides, this path was chosen by her, and where is there room to say "no" at this time.
Mama Gong smiled and sat on the pedal: "Of course it will be me, who does Niang Niang think it will be?" When other grandmothers come, isn't there an extra pair of eyes around the mother? I'm here, Niangniang can rest assured, and there are many things that girls can't do and can't do, I can do for Niangniang. ”
Hongluan leaned on the pillow beside her and squinted her eyes: "What do you want from that grandma?" "A person like Mama Gong wouldn't help someone for no reason, let alone come over and commit herself to being a slave? Although she is a grandmother in the palace, she originally had no master, and she didn't see her have any duties, how happy she was.
Mama Gong showed a very comforting smile: "Niangniang has really changed, her intelligence is still a little different from the original, but it is not enough." If you want to gain a foothold in this palace, you have to be ruthless, more ruthless than anyone else, and when the time comes, you have to be willing to give up even the emperor. After she said this, she said what she wanted: "What the old slave wants is simple, as long as Niangniang sits in that back seat, as long as Niangniang can make the Empress Dowager ruined and live in the cold palace." ”
Hongluan sat up violently: "As long as?" Mama, as long as there are two, which one is not as difficult as the sky? Shu Hongluan can't do it, Mama should choose another high branch. "It's a joke, who doesn't want to be a queen? But it also has to be that ability to succeed, don't say that she is a rootless and bottomless palace slave, a person who has no power in the court - look at the current queen, isn't it the same to have her mother's family as a support, and she is closely watched by the Shangguan family?
She still wants her life, she doesn't want to do that crazy, impossible thing. As for the Empress Dowager, she does have an enmity with Hongluan, but it is not easy to make her ruined and live in a cold palace: but she can give it a try. For the sake of his own safety, and because the emperor and the empress dowager have a vendetta for killing their mother, there is still room for doing so.
Mama Gong smiled: "Then Niangniang, you can tell the old slave how you want to spend the rest of your life in the palace in the future?" Now there is no need for the old slave to say much, Niangniang also knows that there is no enmity in the deep palace and you can kill people, not to mention that you have the emperor's favor to crown the whole palace, even if you have no intention of fighting, but can some people let you go? ”
"Moreover, you have made a feud with people, as long as you take a step back, those people will go further, and what will you do when you have no way to retreat? Not everyone can be the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine may not be without contention according to the old body, otherwise how can she have today's honor. Niangniang, you want to be the second imperial concubine and old slave and don't stop you, but what kind of means do you have to protect yourself, the people around you, and your future children? ”
Mama Gong looked at Hongluan and said softly: "The competition in the palace has always been the chicken and the dog, Niangniang." ”
Hongluan's hands and feet were a little cold, and Mama Gong didn't speak, she really didn't know how to say it; She just wanted to avenge her family as a palace concubine, but she didn't want to be a queen and a queen mother.
"There is only one person who can hold his fate in his own hands in this palace." Mama Gong looked at Hongluan and said slowly: "That's the Queen Mother." You are only the first step to be the queen, you must know that the fate of the queen is still in the hands of the emperor. Today's emperor is a very wise master, with a strong temperament and can bend and stretch, but if the monarch really wants to abolish the queen, it is definitely not something that the courtiers can stop. Only the Queen Mother can truly be on top, hold her destiny tightly and no longer be afraid of anyone. ”
Hongluan looked at Mama Gong and finally gently asked her doubts for so long: "You, who is you?" ”
Chapter 707 Spring Palace
Hearing this, Mama Gong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who the old slave is, and the mother doesn't have to delve into the origin of everyone in the palace in the future, as long as you can be sure that he will be loyal to you, like the old slave; The old slave will not harm the mother, as long as the mother agrees to the old slave, the old slave will even spare his own life. ”
Hongluan stared at her for a long time before she said, "The Empress Dowager, she knows Mama, right?" ”
"Yes." Mama Gong replied affirmatively: "So the old slave can't accompany Niangniang to Ci'an Palace, but the old slave will accompany him in the dark." She stroked her hair when she said this: "Niangniang doesn't need to ask again, you guessed very right; If you are still a female official or a palace slave, the old slave will not be loyal to the mother. ”
Hongluan lowered her head slightly and thought for a while: "Okay, in the future, things in the Qinglu Palace will be troublesome." Tonight's things are also troublesome for Mama to arrange. "There are some things that she has to face all the time, and there are some things that she can only not delve into.
Mama Gong will definitely be of great help to Hongluan, because she is a very old person in the palace, at least someone who has served the palace concubines of the Empress Dowager's generation. And now Hongluan's biggest shortage is manpower, not to mention that Xing'er and others are not by her side, even if they are not comparable to Mama Gong.
Bathing in fragrant soup, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking at herself in the mirror, even Hongluan can't believe her eyes: is this her? It turns out that she can be so beautiful. The eyes are not big or small, and the skin is not very white but it is delicate, well, how much can it be regarded as a beauty, right? Hongluan looked back and said, "Mama's skillful hands." ”
Mama Gong smiled: "The old slave has served two favorite concubines, if there is no such skill, how can people rely on it?" Niangniang look at these now, it will always be useful to use this thought. She put some books and a few pieces of paper on Hongluan's lap: "Your need is to learn to pay attention to the emperor." ”
Hongluan looked at the emperor's preferences listed on the paper, she really didn't know much, and looked up twice: "Everyone is like this, even if I become the emperor, I won't take it to heart." She put down the paper, opened the book, and immediately closed it, and said, "Mama——! "His face was already red.
Mama Gong squinted her eyes with a smile: "What's wrong?" That's the old slave who finally got his hands on it, a treasure. The other concubines in the palace, even if they are from the Shangguan family, are by no means as good as our books. She squeezed her eyes at Hongluan: "Take a look, otherwise Niangniang really knows how to sleep?" But the old slave didn't believe it. ”
"As for those that are not for the mother to use now, when it will be useful is all up to the mother, and the other concubines know that these may not be of much use, but the mother uses them differently; Half of this is in the emperor, and half is in the mother-you've never cared about it. The old slave will not give useless things to the mother. After Mama Gong finished speaking, she looked at the sky outside the window: "The emperor will come in about half an hour, and the old slave will go to see the wine and food." ”
Before leaving, he pointed to the book, signaling that Hongluan must see her before she really turned around and left.
Since Mama Gong came, Chunfang hadn't even touched Hongluan's side, and at this time she wanted to go in and wait, but she was directly taken away by Mama Gong: "Learn small dishes with Mama, and in the future, it will be your job to clear the cold dishes in the palace." ”
Chunfang was dissatisfied, but somehow she didn't dare to say "no" to Mama Gong, and reluctantly followed Mama Gong.
Hongluan was reading books alone in the room, but she was still a little embarrassed to be thin-skinned, so she went to see the emperor's preferences again, but the books seemed to be able to heat up, always reminding Hongluan of its existence. In the end, I thought of what Mama said, if I really don't know how to sleep at that time, it won't be good - the concubines in the palace seem to have to see it, then she should take a look, in case she does something wrong and annoys the emperor, it will not be good.
She endured the shame and slowly opened the book, although she knew a little about men and women in the market for a few years, but when she saw the book, she realized that what she knew was really not what she knew! The book was closed again, she looked up at the door with a red face, and then looked at the book: she was really said by the palace grandmother, she really didn't know how to sleep, alas, no matter how embarrassing this book is, the emperor is coming.
Looking at the outer pages of the book, she could now be sure that she was really not ready.
Hongluan sighed and opened the book again, with her eyes closed, and then she smiled to herself: How do you look at this? After laughing, she opened her eyes and looked at the book in her hand, her face became more and more red, and she hurriedly turned over it, but the picture on the next page made her face burn! Mama Gong, where did I find this book, it's really embarrassing.
Hongluan, who complained in her heart, hurriedly turned the page again, and there was no page for her to read carefully, anyway, Mama Gong asked her to take a closer look at her, and it would be good to know it when she went to bed. So when she was about to turn the page again, she suddenly heard a knock on the door, and she thought it was Mama Gong and didn't raise her head: "Mama, you, this is too embarrassing." ”
When the footsteps came, but no one answered, Hongluan felt that something was not right, and when she looked up, it was the emperor, and there was still a page of the shameful book between her fingers, and she was suddenly stunned and just thought in her heart: Didn't you say that there was still half an hour? Besides, she didn't hear anyone tell her to take over.
Her face was redder and her heart was beating faster, like a child who had done something wrong and had been caught in the right place, so frightened that she was so frightened that she forgot what she should have hidden.
The emperor's eyes lit up when he saw Hongluan's appearance, and then his gaze fell between Hongluan's fingers, and he vaguely seemed to know the picture drawn on it: "What is Luan'er doing?" You don't want to see me, you look frightened. ”
As he spoke, he had already walked to Hongluan's side, and he could see clearly what was on the written picture between Hongluan's fingers, and the color of his eyes changed suddenly, and it was pitch black: "Luan'er, what are you looking at?" "Stretch out his hand and he'll go get it.
Hongluan only reacted at this time, and hurriedly hid the book behind him and opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Nothing, I didn't read anything." "I was so frightened that I forgot about my claims.
The emperor smiled and bent down, holding Hongluan with one hand and taking the hidden book with the other: "If there is anything good, let me share it, don't you say?" It's not good for Luan'er to want to be alone. Even if you don't say anything else, for the sake of me obediently listening to your words, you can't hide your good things and not let me see them, right? ”
The tip of Hongluan's nose was sweating: "That, the emperor, it's really nothing, it's really ......" Feeling the book being slowly pulled out of her palm by the emperor, she buried her head in her knees violently - she really wanted to have a hole for her to get into at this time, ah, how could she see people and live.
The emperor looked at Hongluan and raised her head with such a smile: "You, blushing, are so beautiful. Then he glanced at the book: "Master's handwriting, God, where did you get Luan'er?!" ”
The first one is sent, it's a little late, but women will work hard, hehe...... Then ask for votes and motivation!
