Chapter 685 - The Difference Between Up and Down Chapter 686 - Lifelong Dependence

Chapter 685: Up and Down

Hongluan was moved again after listening to the emperor's words, and she found that the emperor had moved her many times tonight: "Concubine, thank the emperor for his love; The concubine will definitely protect herself for the emperor's sake. ”

The emperor nodded, stroked the top of Hongluan's head with his big hand, and walked out the door; When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around: "I guess you're not ready, right?" There are many mistakes, even if there is no arrangement between the Empress Dowager and the Shangguan family, you will let me leave tonight, right? ”

Hongluan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the emperor's words, and her pretty face turned red: "Your Majesty—" She can only be coquettish, because she herself doesn't know if she is really ready; After hearing the emperor's words, she realized that she was really a little panicked in her heart, was it really because she was afraid of the servant that she would push the emperor to the queen? She really didn't know.

The emperor smiled: "I expected it, and I didn't plan to, well, I'll let you sleep tonight; I'll wait for you, can you let me know if you're ready?" After he finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Hongluan and left with a smile.

Hongluan turned to the food on the table after the emperor left, and was stunned for a long time, her eyes slowly moistened slightly, she didn't seem to notice, she took a long breath and sat down, without taking a handkerchief to wipe her tears; Instead, when he picked up the chopsticks, he glanced at the door that the emperor had closed when he left, and a smile appeared on his lips: Perhaps, being his palace concubine is not a very bad thing.

She ate well and slept soundly, because she knew that tomorrow there would be a lot to do, and a lot to see, and she had to be in good spirits; Also because, tonight's touching made her heart very warm and no longer empty, so that she didn't see water in her dreams, didn't return to her childhood village, and only saw a bright moon in the sky.

The next morning, Hongluan woke up that the sun had risen very high, she stretched a long lazy waist, and was stunned when she saw the palace people who came in: "Xing'er, Liu'er, what about Erya and Zhaodi?" "She doesn't know the people who came to the palace.

The palace people smiled and saluted: "The slave maid is the female history of this palace, and she is here to serve the mother." The people brought by Niangniang last night have gone to work today, and Niangniang has something to do, although she commands the slave maid; Or, the slave or maid can summon someone to serve the mother. ”

Hongluan thought of the words of Xing'er and the others, and her heart was cold, and she got out of bed and said lightly: "Then it's troublesome for the female history, the female history is surnamed Gao?" Send someone to the palace slave courtyard to call Chunfang to come and serve, it's really not good to bother the female history to do it. "She is very polite to the female history, because she is the person next to the emperor after all.

Nushi smiled and saluted: "Niangniang is not killing the slave maid, it is the slave's fault, the slave maid's surname is Chen, and serving the maid is a matter of the slave maid." She passed on Hongluan's words to people to find Chunfang, and then turned around and said: "The emperor is very considerate to Niangniang, and sent someone to tell Niangniang to sleep for a while, so that the slaves and maids don't wake up Niangniang." ”

As soon as Hongluan heard that he remembered the matter of greeting the queen, he immediately asked in surprise: "Is it time now?" "She couldn't go back to the palace on the first morning of the first morning to say hello to the queen, and people like the queen couldn't be a little slacking off in front of her.

Chen Nushi immediately brought clothes for Hongluan: "When I just arrived for breakfast, it wasn't very late, and my mother slept very vigilantly." This is what the emperor has already asked him to prepare, and they are all made according to the clothes you left in the palace, and they should fit. "Zhaorong has Zhaorong's clothes, and of course Hongluan can't wear her original clothes anymore.

Hongluan couldn't take care of it too much, so she had to trouble Chen Nushi to help dress; When Chunfang arrived, Hongluan had already finished cleaning her face, and Chen Nushi was taking two palace people to comb Hongluan. Hongluan didn't say much, just asked Chunfang to help.

It took a long time to clean up, and Hongluan didn't care about eating breakfast, so he drank a bowl of porridge with Chunfang's hand, and ordered Xiaopingzi to take things and reward Chen Nushi and others, so he hurried to Kunning Palace; Because of the different identities and the car, you don't have to be out of breath on the road.

When he arrived outside Kunning Palace, Hongluan got out of the car, took Chunfang's hand and walked towards Kunning Palace, and asked casually: "Is everything okay with the imperial concubine?" I should go to the imperial concubine to say goodbye in the past two days, you said you need to prepare some things to go over? ”

Chunfang's eyes flashed: "The imperial concubine is very good, but I usually ask An Niangniang to bring some snacks made by myself, right?" There are many mistakes, if the mother wants to make a snack, the slave knows how to make a dim sum that the emperor and concubine like, although it is a little complicated, but the taste is excellent. ”

Hongluan smiled noncommittally: "Well, let's go back and talk about it." To be honest, she really didn't know where to go back, because she still didn't have a place to live.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "My sister came so early, I thought that my sister was frightened and would recuperate for a few days, and I thought about visiting my sister for a while, but I didn't expect my sister to be blessed by heaven and get better so quickly; I said goodbye to my sister. ”

Hongluan didn't have to turn around to know who was talking, and she didn't even bother to reply: "I haven't seen you for more than half a month, but I didn't expect the big girl to become Li Liren; Anything like this can happen, and it's no surprise that I'm so frightened that I get better overnight. It's just that I don't know if Li Liren still remembers the days when she was just thinking about how to live a few more days every day? ”

The eldest girl had already walked to Hongluan's side, and unhappiness flashed on her face when she heard this, she obviously didn't want to be mentioned that she had been a palace slave back then: "Sister remembers, sister doesn't dare to forget." She reminded Hongluan that she was also born as a palace slave and not to ridicule her background.

Hongluan looked at her and smiled: "Of course I remember, I remember everything and everyone clearly, because I didn't do anything to be sorry for people, and I was not ashamed or empty in my heart, so I would think about it when I had nothing to do; The palace slave courtyard, that is the place where I entered the palace, how can I forget? I am clean in body and heart, there is nothing impossible to say to people, and I am not unsightly when I am born in the palace slave house; I just don't know if my sister sleeps peacefully every night. ”

The smile on the girl's face disappeared: "You don't have to be too proud" She really can't get used to seeing Hongluan's current appearance, and she prays in the palace every day that God will let Hongluan die outside the palace, and it is better to let Hongluan die without a corpse; But I didn't expect her to come back.

Chunfang looked at Hongluan and looked at the big girl, but didn't say anything in the end. Hongluan didn't count on her, but suddenly stopped and looked at the big girl with a cold face: "You deserve to come to me when you step back, don't you know the difference between up and down?" You dare to lose your honor in front of Kunning Palace, you really don't put the queen in your eyes. ”

The girl's face turned red suddenly, it was the time when there were many people outside the Kunning Palace, and the palace concubine rushed over with everyone to greet the queen, she was reprimanded in the face by Hongluan, which made her lose her breath in an instant: she was embarrassed and embarrassed.

Chapter 686: Lifelong Dependence

Hongluan looked at her calmly, and she didn't make a loud noise or have a seizure, but just stood in place and waited for the big girl to retreat, waiting for her to salute and confess, but she seemed more and more condescending.

She scolded the eldest girl and attracted the second and third palace concubines outside the Kunning Palace, although she did not come over, but she looked at the excitement from a distance, which also made the eldest girl feel unbearable; But what could she do? The grade of the beauty is not low, but it is still half a grade lower than Hongluan; If the two have a good personal relationship, no one will care about this half product, even if it is an ordinary friendship, they will not scold her for the sake of going together.

But since the palace rules are concerned, the big girl is indeed wrong, and she has no argument; Looking at the people around her, she gritted her teeth and stepped back and saluted: "It's my sister who made the time, please don't blame my sister." She only lowered half a grade, and after only half a grade, she had to bow her head to Hongluan and bow her head and be small.

Hongluan waved his hand very generously: "No, if it's somewhere else, it's fine, my sisters don't need to be like this; But Kunning Palace is a place, equivalent to the Qianyuan Palace of the former court, how can it mess with the slightest rule - that is a great disrespect to the queen's mother; My sister said that you are also for your good. "She's very serious.

Hearing this, several palace concubines nodded one after another, turned around and led people into Kunning Palace according to the ranks, and did not look any further; Of course, he didn't have any bad feelings for Hongluan.

The eldest girl had to bow again, and under Hongluan's smiling gaze, she bowed her head again: "Sister Xie's teaching." This thank you almost made her grit her teeth before she said it.

Hongluan's smile remained unchanged: "It's okay, I will teach you more in the future; Sister, sister, you don't have to be too grateful to me, as long as you know that what your sister does is for your good. After she finished speaking, she turned lightly and walked towards Kunning Palace.

The girl's face was a little blue but she didn't follow up immediately, she was already humiliated, and she really didn't have to follow up anymore; At this time, Chun'er Liu Meiren arrived, and she pulled up the big girl and walked a few steps quickly: "You haven't forgotten how to enter the palace, right?" If you don't forget it, I don't mind giving you a few points in front of the queen. ”

Hongluan looked back at Chun'er: "Please." After speaking, she took Chunfang's hand and walked into Kunning Palace, and looked at Chun'er as if her eyes were dirty.

Chun'er and the big girl looked at each other in shock, not knowing that they would treat them so calmly after Hongluan came back, and they were not afraid of their threats at all; The more suspicious they are, the more they are afraid of provoking trouble on themselves, and the more they dare not easily say it to others - especially Hongluan's scheming and methods, they are all people who have seen it, so they will only be more and more careful; Because no one knows Hongluan better than them.

The queen hadn't finished her meal yet, and she had come early to be a low-ranking palace concubine, and Hongluan and each of them smiled and saw the queen of the ceremony, so they wanted to sit aside; But she didn't want Qi Zhaorong to come out and call her: "Niangniang guesses that you haven't had breakfast yet, so I called you in to eat with Niangniang." ”

Hongluan was slightly stunned, then got up and took Qi Zhaorong's hand and followed her in, but during the handshake, she stuffed the silver ticket in her hand to Qi Zhaorong: "I still have to go out for Sister Lao." "What Qi Zhaorong lacks most should be silver, and it is necessary to put some money up and down, but the queen is not a person who treats her relatives, so she will not give Qi Zhaorong much money in the future.

Looking at Qi Zhaorong's plain dress, in addition to highlighting his appearance, there are other reasons: because the clothing is really too shabby; Giving something is either to give something that people like, or to give something that people urgently need.

Qi Zhaorong didn't dare to make concessions with Hongluan in front of everyone, so he had to put away the silver ticket and laughed: "Where, my sister is really polite; Her eyes were seeing the big girl and Chun'er coming in, so she added: "Niangniang also specially asked people to prepare my sister's favorite soup, don't be cold, let's go in quickly." ”

Hongluan glanced back at the big girl, raised her head and went in with Qi Zhaorong to see the queen.

The queen was eating at the table, and saw Hongluan and the two beckoning: "Come and sit, this morning's things are really good, you need to use more; Especially Hongluan, you have suffered a lot outside, and you are about to make up for it. She seemed to be in a very good mood, so even Qi Zhaorong showed a rare intimacy.

Hongluan didn't have to think much to know that the queen must have something to do with the emperor's coming over last night, it seems that the emperor not only came to accompany the queen, but also coaxed the queen well: it should be the emperor who said good things about her, or let the queen misunderstand, which made the queen treat her so unusually affectionately.

No matter what, it's not a bad thing, she gave Qi Zhaorong a look, and the two of them did their best to make the queen happy, and the breakfast was eaten for nearly an hour before the queen withdrew amid the queen's laughter.

Taking advantage of Qi Zhaorong's departure, the queen held Hongluan's hand: "Your heart is understood by the palace, the child is our dependence, and it is impossible for the palace to be the only one in the palace who gave birth to the royal bloodline, rather than cheapening those people, it is better for you to have a support; This palace is not the kind of person who can't tolerate people, it's just that those people are too hateful and annoying to this palace, you can rest assured that you won't. ”

Hongluan heard it in a fog, and she didn't know that the emperor had poured ecstasy soup into the queen, and he could actually let the queen say such a thing to her; Of course, she had to be grateful for the push, and then she thanked the queen again and again for her great kindness.

The queen patted her hand and looked at Qi Zhaorong who came in: "In fact, in the huge palace courtyard, only the two of you are really good people in the palace, and the palace knows; But this palace is the queen, so what if they have foxy means? ”

Hongluan immediately responded: "The queen's mother is right, with Qi Zhaorong and concubines helping the queen, even if they are a little foxy, they will not let the emperor look at them a few more times; They are just vulgar fans, how can they compare with the inner and outer beauty of the mother? ”

Qi Zhaorong didn't expect Hongluan's kung fu to be so high, and immediately flattered the queen, which made the queen even more happy: "You two sit on both sides of the palace, one pretends to hand tea to the palace, and the other pretends to peel a fruit for the palace, so you don't have to sit down to look at them coldly." ”

It's really surprising that the queen can know that someone gave Hongluan a cold eye, but is it impossible to think that the emperor asked the queen to say such amazing things? Hongluan sat down respectfully, she really didn't want to be pressed to demonstrate on the first day.

It seems that the emperor expected it a long time ago, so that he would coax a queen like this, so that she could be above the concubines this morning; When Hongluan felt the emperor's carefulness, her heart couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness.

Since ancient times, the left has been the top, so at the insistence of Qi Zhaorong and the hint of the queen, Hongluan sat on the left side of the queen; And Qi Zhaorong was not dissatisfied, if it weren't for Hongluan, how could she have this seat? So she was very grateful to Hongluan.
