Chapter 680 - Joining Forces Again Chapter 681 - Not Isolated

Hongluan turned to look at Liu Er violently: "Is this serious?" She couldn't believe what she heard, it was understandable that someone was taking away the people around her, but how could Da Niu and Chun'er become palace concubines, it was absolutely impossible.

Liu Er bowed: "The slave maid couldn't believe it when she heard the canonization of Li Li and Liu Meiren, but it was true; They are innocent, and it is of course natural to have the will of the empress dowager, and they all already have official names; Speaking of this, she looked up at Hongluan: "Liu Mei's name is Qianhong, and Li Li's name is Li Youniang." ”

Hongluan looked at Liu Er's eyes and slowly sat down: "The emperor doesn't know who they originally were, right?" "Even if it is with the original name, how will the emperor know who the big girl and Chun'er are? What's more, the Empress Dowager's will is to canonize Liu Qianhong and Li Youniang, which makes the emperor not think much about it.

Hongluan didn't know what the situation would be at that time, but it could be guessed that the empress dowager must be indifferent or take advantage of the emperor's restlessness or busy time to open her mouth, and she is not in a high position, there are so many women in the palace, of course the emperor will not clash with the empress dowager again because of two low-ranking concubines.

It turned out that she listened to the old man's stories, and there was often a saying that the mountain side had been in the world for a thousand years, and she didn't remember whether she believed it or not, but there were still doubts; Now she really knew what she meant: just a few days after leaving the palace, so many things had happened, and suddenly it was as if the sky had changed.

"It's so calculating, I believe that the people who came out of the Huanyi Courtyard are not the only two of them;" Hongluan took a deep breath: "You don't have to go anywhere, stay with me." "How could she let the Empress Dowager get her way, and how could she watch the people around her fall into the hands of others and become pawns, or be humiliated.

Xing'er pounced and knelt on the ground: "Niangniang, no." It's not easy for you to have today, we people have been living some comfortable days with you, it's enough; Now that you have just become a palace concubine, if you really act so willfully, you will really fall for the plan of the empress dowager and become the enemy of the concubines in the whole palace. ”

Liu Er nodded slowly at Hongluan: "Niangniang, the most important thing at the moment is you; As long as you stand firm in the palace, the slaves and maids will have a future; It's just a temporary humiliation, we are not precious people in the first place, is there anything we can't bear? Xiao Pingzi can't figure it out, but Xiao Shunzi can think it through, so you don't have to worry about us. ”

Xiao Shunzi kowtowed: "Niangniang, the little one will wait for the day when the mother sends someone to pick up the little one, no matter how difficult and bitter it was before, even if someone breaks his leg, the little one will desperately survive; The little one believes that there will be a day when the mother will be angry for the little one, but it is by no means now. ”

Erya and Zhao Di also knelt down and said, "Niangniang, just listen to the slaves." "They know that they can't let Hongluan offend so many people, even if they have the emperor's favor after being isolated-Hongluan is not the only woman in the palace, and the emperor is not only Hongluan and a concubine.

Hongluan shook his head hatefully: "No." You stand up for me when I am and still treat me as a sister, do you remember when we said in the most difficult time in the palace slave house, we will be sisters, we will be blessed and enjoy hardships together, and at this time you asked me to give up you and want to trap me in injustice. She clenched her fists: "You can see through the will of the Empress Dowager, how can those ladies not see through?" But they're not going to take you yet. ”

"They're not afraid to offend me, and I'm afraid to offend them? You know, the moment they agreed to accept you, they already made a war against me, and stood on the side of my hostility, and I am not a person who will compromise and seek perfection, you know. She pulled up Liu'er and Xing'er: "Get up, we came over with a lot of wind and waves, and now this is not a big matter." ”

Liu Er was almost so anxious that she burst into tears: "Niangniang, now is the real wind and waves, it turns out that those are really not counted; Now is definitely not the time to act rashly, Niangniang, you still listen to our persuasion and let us go, with Niangniang's ability, she will definitely save the slave and maid from birth soon. ”

Hongluan refuses to back down, and there are some people she can't give up, because if she gives up, she will be alone forever; These people are willing to sacrifice for her, so she can't let people humiliate them.

Xing'er suddenly said: "If Niangniang really doesn't allow it, the slave and maid will die in front of Niangniang, and she will never watch Niangniang take risks for the slaves and maids; Speaking of which, it's not because of Niangniang, those of us who died in the palace slave courtyard a long time ago, and now every day we live is extra up, there is really nothing to regret. ”

Hongluan glared angrily: "Xing'er-"

Xing'er stubbornly looked at Hongluan and didn't move, and Erya and Zhao Di also stood behind her; They must not watch Hongluan and the concubines in the palace as enemies, it is definitely a dead end; If Hongluan dies, they will not be spared, only when Hongluan is alive can they have a glimmer of life; And as Xing'er said, it is already earned to be able to live until now and live like a human being, and there is nothing to regret when she dies now.

Liu Er stood over gently, Xiao Shunzi also stood over, Xiangmei and Cuihuan also stood over, Xiao Pingzi took a last look and also stood over. They have the same mind, because they are people in the same boat, and Hongluan is alive and well is the guarantee that all of them can have a future; And Hongluan has already done a lot for them, and they really don't want to see Hongluan take risks for them again.

Hongluan looked at the determined gaze in front of him and closed his eyes: "I, I will get you all back to my side soon." She could see that Liu Er and the others were not joking, they were really looking for death; How many people can she stop from seeking death by herself? The sincerity of the people around her made her speechless, and she just wanted to cut the Empress Dowager with a thousand knives.

Xiao Pingzi burst into tears: "Niangniang, I know that they left the little one because I was too stupid." He was just worried about the safety of the people around him, but he really didn't expect the sinister intentions of the Empress Dowager.

Hongluan shook his head lightly: "Xiaopingzi, you are very good; None of us here think you're stupid, you're going to be tired in the future, because you have to be careful, and you can't let our people make the slightest mistake. ”

Xiao Pingzi nodded heavily and agreed, hesitated and said: "The Empress Dowager seems to have something to do with Concubine Hua, and someone flattered Concubine Hua before she entered the palace after hearing Ning Cairen's scolding." ”

Hongluan's face turned pale when she heard this, and she thought for a while and looked at Liu'er: "Let's go, let's go and say hello to the queen." "She can not go to the Empress Dowager tonight to say goodbye, but she can't help but see the Empress; Because she will still stand by the queen's side in the future and become her powerful "dogleg".

Originally, she didn't want to help the queen anymore, but the Empress Dowager, Concubine Hua, and Ning Cairen forced her so much that she could only join forces with the queen to compete.

Chapter 681 - Not Isolated

The empress didn't sleep, and she also guessed that the emperor would be lucky to Hongluan tonight and not come to Kunning Palace, but she thought that the emperor might come over to sit down, so she was thinking about how to leave the emperor behind; When she was annoyed, she heard that Hongluan came to ask her to look at Qi Zhaorong: "She will do it?" It's really strange, shouldn't she be ready to serve the emperor after a good freshening up at this time. There is always a sour taste in the words, but there is no longer the meanness of the past.

After so many things, the queen has finally grown, and she is no longer obsessed with the emperor and is confined to her side; But she always looks down on the people the emperor wants to favor, although she doesn't want to treat the concubines because of this, but a cold face is absolutely inevitable.

Qi Zhaorong's plain outfit was not covered by the golden light of the queen's whole body, but became a fresh breath, which made people can't help but shine; There is only the queen herself who can't be seen, and she is very satisfied with Qi Zhaorong's plain clothes, thinking that she is very interesting, and sometimes she is wondering whether to let her sleep, in the end, she is the emperor's favor and will always help her, which is always better than those concubines - her family has told her more than once, but when the emperor comes, she always thinks about next time, next time.

"Niangniang, Chun Zhaorong just returned to the palace and came to greet the queen, which shows her heart; might as well meet, maybe when she comes back, she can make that Concubine Hua restrain a little; The emperor treats Chun Zhaorong a little differently, even if she refuses to help you, these two tigers compete with each other for you, and it is only beneficial. Qi Zhaorong's words were faint, although they were very respectful, they were already very different from the original palace people.

The queen listened to it very reasonably, so she asked Hongluan to come in and turned back to Qi Zhaorong and said, "Are you tired?" Go back and rest without mistakes, it's not too early. ”

Of course, Qi Zhaorong guessed the queen's thoughts, but he was already very grateful that the queen would chase people away with words of concern: Hongluan came, and refused to return to the palace for some time, presumably at this hour, the empress dowager would not stay with the emperor for a long time, and soon the emperor would follow Hongluan to arrive, and then the queen would of course not let the emperor leave, how could she stay in the way.

She immediately got up and saluted the queen, and then left with her own people, and just stepped out of the palace gate to see Hongluan, she avoided the side and bowed down: "Pure Zhaorong." ”

"Sister is polite." Hongluan hurriedly returned the salute. They are in the same position, but because Hongluan has a title, Hongluan is a little higher than her: "Sister, this is going back, and my sister will set up wine in a few days and ask my sister to appreciate the light." "There are a few people she can try to talk about and discuss, such as Xiao Shunzi, who was given to Qi Zhaorong by the Empress Dowager.

Qi Zhaorong said with a smile: "My sister is really humble and polite, where can my sister be worthy of my sister's gift; Speaking of setting up wine, my sister and sister thought of going together, but my sister wanted to set up a drink tomorrow to surprise my sister, but I don't know if my sister will be free tomorrow night? If you don't have to stay free for a few days, it doesn't hurt to stay at night. ”

She looked at Hongluan very kindly, and her eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile: "By the way, there is another thing that my sister is about to apologize to my sister, a few days ago, the Empress Dowager thought that her sister was not in the palace, so she gave her sister's person to her sister; In fact, there are a lot of people in the queen's palace, and my sister doesn't need anyone at all, so the father-in-law named Xiaoshunzi asks my sister to stay. ”

Of course, Hongluan was happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect Qi Zhaorong to be so knowledgeable, and hurriedly saluted and thanked the two of them for getting closer and closer; Qi Zhaorong took two steps forward and said quickly: "Sister, it's better to go back quickly after asking for peace." ”

Hearing that Hongluan was a little confused, she also knew that she had good intentions, and said worriedly: "The Empress Dowager is there, ...... that is the person that the Empress Dowager gave to Qi Zhaorong, so it doesn't seem good to decide not to."

Qi Zhaorong smiled slightly: "My sister has lived in Ci'an Palace for a short time. After she finished speaking, she patted Hongluan's hand: "Don't let the queen wait in a hurry, you don't have to worry about me because I have my own measure." We are now royal concubines, no longer the original palace people, and we don't have to be afraid of wolves and tigers in everything. ”

Hongluan didn't have time to say more, and hurriedly thanked him and crossed the threshold to see the queen; And Qi Zhaorong stood up after Hongluan went in before turning around, her eyes flashed with contemplation, and then she looked back as if she had really made up her mind, and she really had to leave with someone.

The queen saw Hongluan and sat up with a smile: "You're okay, it's really scary to die when you disappear like this." ”

Hongluan stepped forward and bowed three times and bowed nine times before getting up: "It is the sin of the concubine to worry about the queen's mother, and the concubine is in danger of entrusting the mother Hongfu." She did not elaborate on the matter of leaving the palace, and the queen did not ask in detail.

"Did you meet Qi Zhaorong just now?" The queen gossiped: "I didn't expect her to talk too much." Well, she has a heart for you, and after you left, she was the one who persuaded the palace to take more care of you, and even the palace slave house and the's house were also things she opposed to being taken care of by others. ”

"Bengong also believes in you, where are those people with the same heart as Bengong? Don't you want to give birth to a prince to the emperor, and want to press the palace? When you come back to the palace, you can rest assured, so that those few people don't come to the palace every day to be verbose and want to take charge of the palace slave courtyard - you take care of it well, but there are those who want to pick the fruits, how can the palace be as she wants? The meaning of the queen's words is nothing more than wanting Hongluan to accept her affection, what she wants, hehe.

Hongluan immediately bowed down and thanked the queen for her kindness, but did not mention Qi Zhaorong's half-point goodness, but only thanked the queen for her fulfillment and preservation.

The queen was overjoyed when she heard this, and pulled up the red luan with her own hands: "Okay, okay, you and I are not outsiders, don't always kneel around; In the future, if there is something to do, I will tell the palace directly; By the way, you don't have a place to live yet......" As soon as she said this, someone from outside the temple came in and knelt down.

"What?" The queen was in a good mood, so she was not annoyed when she saw someone coming in and interrupting her.

"The emperor has come back to summon Chun Zhaorong back to serve him." The little eunuch knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak loudly, but the queen who had served him for so long knew very well that the queen didn't like to hear anything like that.

Sure enough, the queen's face sank: "I know, didn't you see that Bengong was talking to Zhaorong?" She didn't expect that the emperor wouldn't come even if he knew that Hongluan was here, it seemed that he didn't want to stay in her palace and just wanted Hongluan to sleep; Immediately, her gaze at Hongluan changed a little, and she became a lot colder.

Of course, Hongluan saw the change in the queen, and did not get up immediately to retire, but waited for the queen to speak; At this time, if she quits, it seems that she can't wait, and it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire for the queen, and God knows that she will do something after she is angry and resentful.

The queen looked at Hongluan's respectful appearance, and the unhappiness in her heart really disappeared a lot, knowing that the emperor's intentions could not be too forced, otherwise it would only attract the emperor's displeasure, and remembered her father's advice and waved her hand to Hongluan: "Go, you are also tired for a day, you don't have to come early tomorrow morning to say goodbye, take a good rest and recuperate; Well, we'll come back tomorrow afternoon to book your accommodation. ”
