Chapter Seventy-Nine: Please
In Chuxiu Palace, Wen Xiuxiu looked at his own palace, not to mention how happy he was, and looked inside and out.
Several palace maids hid in the corner, secretly discussing the happy affairs of the concubine.
"You're not going to do things? What are you doing hiding here? Yun Mei scolded several palace maids loudly for her master.
Several palace maids hurriedly saluted and prepared to walk away.
"Stop!" Wen Xiuxiu shouted.
Several palace maids hurriedly stopped, turned around and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, thinking that Wen Xiuxiu was going to punish them.
"What are you all talking about?" Wen Xiuxiu continued.
A few palace maids, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak.
"Bold, master asks, how dare you not answer? Are you looking for a draw? Yun Mei saw that several palace maids didn't know each other, and loudly demonstrated for Wen Xiuxiu.
"The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid don't dare to ......" Several palace maids were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed.
A palace maid said tremblingly, "Back to the master, when I was cleaning up in Qingshui Building in the afternoon, the slave maid heard Gonggong Chen say to Concubine Xi that the concubine was happy, and the emperor was afraid...... Afraid that the master would disturb the concubine to raise the fetus, he moved the master to Chuxiu Palace. ”
"What do you say? Concubines are happy? Wen Xiuxiu couldn't believe her ears, and deliberately confirmed it with the palace maids.
"Back to the master, that's what Grandpa Chen said." The palace maid returned.
"She's only slept once, so why is she pregnant? Why has the palace served the emperor for so long, but his stomach didn't react at all? Wen Xiuxiu was so angry that she slapped her useless stomach desperately, like a madman, completely ignoring her identity as a concubine.
Yun Mei hurriedly stopped in front of her, gave her a look, and signaled that there was still a eunuch who came with Gonggong Chen, "Master, master......"
Wen Xiuxiu put away the shrewd scolding the street, endured the anger in her stomach, and was helped by Yunmei to enter the house.
"You say, why is her concubine so pregnant, and she is happy once?" She threw the furnishings in the house like crazy.
"Master, this kind of thing is urgent, it should conform to the will of heaven, sooner or later." Yun Mei stood far away, not daring to get too close.
"Providence, does even this God discriminate against this palace? Isn't this palace worthy of the emperor's flesh and blood? This palace is not convinced, not convinced! You see that concubine Xiao Nizi, when she is happy, she will be favored by the emperor in every way, and the emperor actually drove the palace out of Jingyang Palace for her, and if it goes on like this, any cat or dog can bully the palace. Wen Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and said, eager to grab a few big holes on the desktop under the palm of her hand.
"Niangniang, if you are pregnant, you may not be able to give birth, not necessarily!" Yun Mei spoke to Wen Xiuxiu with bad intentions.
Wen Xiuxiu stopped talking at this time, sitting on the couch and thinking. Oh, yes! Now everyone is eyeing the queen's position, if the concubine gives birth to the prince at this time, plus the concubine of the first queen, the queen's position will definitely fall on her and one of the Orange Creek.
Wen Xiuxiu knows that she doesn't have the ability to lead the harem, but at least she has to get a concubine or an imperial concubine, or give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor!
"That's right!" Wen Xiuxiu finally figured it out, the days are still long! Maybe someone didn't need her to do it, someone would get rid of the child in the concubine's belly.
She continued to look around at her new home.
A concubine who has never been favored by the emperor suddenly met with joy, which was a big event, and it soon spread throughout the harem.
After a few more days, Yun Ling saw that there was no news for a long time, and she really couldn't hold back in her heart, and she was absent-minded when she started to do things.
Could it really be that she expected it wrong, overestimating the weight of the enthalpy in the heart of the seventh elder brother, she wandered by the laundry pool.
The palace maids who were doing things together began to sneer behind their backs, "Who does she think she is?" Isn't it overestimating your own weight? ”
"Isn't it? thought that if you climbed the high branch of the seventh elder brother, you would be able to soar, and you didn't look at what your identity was? Another maid chimed in.
Yun Ling didn't have the heart to pay attention to these people who chewed the root of her tongue at all, she took out some broken silver in her arms and greeted Gonggong Li who came to inspect. "Yun Ling greets Grandpa Li!"
Gonggong Li snorted, nodded, and continued to move forward.
"Father-in-law......
"What, what's the matter?"
Yun Ling stuffed the silver into Gonggong Li's hand, "The slave maid still wants to ask her father-in-law for some help." ”
Gonggong Li put the silver into his sleeve, "Say it!" What's the matter? ”
"The slave maid wants to ask her father-in-law to help inquire about some news and see if there are any major events happening in Jingyang Palace recently?" Yun Ling wanted to know the current situation of Jingyang Palace, so she had to think of pushing herself.
"Gotcha! Wait for the news! ”
"Thank you Gonggong Li, the slave went to do things."
"Go ahead!"
Yun Ling smiled and returned to the laundry pool, the palace maid next to her had a disgusted expression, and even spit a few mouthfuls on the ground. This man! No matter how high or low, jealousy is inevitable.
It is also a coincidence, Orange Creek took advantage of the emperor to come to Kunning Palace, so he asked the emperor for the concubine, the concubine was not easy to come by, she had to escort her well. "Your Majesty! Sister Yu Concubine is happy now, shouldn't there be more people to serve? ”
"Concubine Xi's words are exactly what I want, Concubine Yu is happy and quiet, there have not been many people around her, so you should call more people over."
"The concubine first thanked the emperor for the concubine's sister." Orange Creek stood up and thanked the emperor.
"Chen Yu, Chen Yu ......"
"Your Majesty, the minions are here." When Gonggong Chen heard the emperor's call, he hurriedly ran in, and even the hat on his head almost fell to the ground.
"Spread my word, concubines are pregnant with children and heirs, and the Internal Affairs Office has allocated four palace maids and two eunuchs to serve."
"Huh! The minion will do it. Father-in-law Chen responded and prepared to go out.
"Wait...... Gonggong Chen, call Concubine Yu from the palace later, let's go with you! The palace wants to personally pick a few clever ones for the concubines. Orange Creek called Grandpa Chen, who was about to go out.
Gonggong Chen listened to Orange Creek's words, didn't dare to respond, and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this ......"
"Listen to Concubine Xi."
"Huh!"
"Then the emperor, the concubine will go to Jingyang Palace to find the concubine's sister first?"
"Go ahead!" The emperor looked at the scroll in his hand and waved his hand to allow them to go out.
Yun Ling's silver was not in vain, and soon the eunuch sent out by Gonggong Li inquired about Yun Ling's news.
"Who? You come here. Gonggong Li pointed to Yun Ling, who was busy.
Yun Ling heard Gonggong Li's voice, hurriedly threw down the clothes in her hand, ran to Gonggong Li and bowed. "Slave and maid say hello to Grandpa Li!"
"You asked my father-in-law to inquire about the news, I heard for you, Jingyang Palace has recently had a big happy event, and the concubine Yu is happy, together with Concubine Qian who lives in Jingyang Palace, the emperor was afraid of disturbing her pregnancy, so she was forced to move to Chuxiu Palace."
"Thank you for your great kindness! Thank you for your great kindness! Yun Ling hurriedly thanked Gonggong Li with a smile.
Li Gongcheng wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something. turned back again, "Oh, by the way, I'll send you another piece of news, the little eunuch happened to hear it on the way back, and I heard that Concubine Xi was preparing to go to the Internal Affairs Mansion to pick a few newcomers to serve in Jingyang Palace." ”
When Yun Ling heard this, she was overjoyed, "Thank you Gonggong Li, and ask Gonggong Li to do the slave and maid another favor." Yun Ling took out the white handkerchief in her pocket, bit her fingers, and wrote on the handkerchief: Jingyang Palace wants to add new people, and ask Brother Ah to try to let the slave go to the Internal Affairs Office. She took out some more silver, and handed it to Gonggong Li along with this blood book, "Please also ask my father-in-law to give this handkerchief to the seventh elder brother, the sooner the better, if it happens, the slave and maid should thank the father-in-law." ”
"This! I'm afraid it's still a little difficult, and the Seventh Elder Brother is not something that everyone can see. Father-in-law Li shook the silver in his hand, as if he was very embarrassed.
Yun Ling saw the clue at a glance, the matter was urgent, and she couldn't take care of it so much, she also took out her last little savings, "It's hard work, father-in-law." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, no matter how difficult it is, I'm not afraid of it, and there's nothing I can't do. Otherwise, who will entrust me with things in the future. Gonggong Li took the money and handed the handkerchief to a little eunuch next to him, "Hear that?" Hurry up. ”
"Yes, Gonggong Li, the slave will go immediately." The little eunuch took the handkerchief and ran out of the Xin's library like the wind.
Father-in-law Li took the money, hummed a little song, and walked towards his room.
Yun Ling clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens, "Oh my God! You must help me! I must make my wish come true! Please! She bowed to each of them.
Although Orange Creek was carried by so many people, it was far less fast than the little eunuch next to Gonggong Li who specially inquired about the news, and the little eunuch quickly sent the handkerchief to Changchun Palace, and Orange Creek had just arrived in the Concubine Palace at this time.
Concubine Yu felt that Orange Creek was too worrying, she could eat and sleep, and there was no shortage of people in the palace, so there was no need to do this.
"Sister Concubine! Don't be so careless, when my sister was grounded, the child disappeared for no reason, and my sister still doesn't believe it was an accident, and Li Shuyi's child, who was pregnant for ten months and gave birth overnight, didn't even see the shadow of the child, and ......" Orange Creek persuaded Concubine Yu bitterly, signaling that she must not be too careless.
"Good, good! My sister can't go. Concubine Yu really didn't want to hear it anymore, so she reluctantly agreed to Orange Creek.
The seventh elder brother who received the handkerchief spent some silver, and relying on his and Concubine Xiang's status in the palace, it was easy to get Yun Ling into the Internal Affairs Mansion, and specially told her that she must be allowed to show up in front of Concubine Yu.
Orange Creek and the team of concubines went to the Internal Affairs Office with great fanfare.
Seeing Orange Creek and Concubine Yu coming, the steward of the Internal Affairs Office hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Please Concubine Xi, please Concubine Yu!" ”
"Alright, get up!" Concubine Xi let everyone be even.
Only then did Gonggong Chen come forward to pass on the emperor's message, "Pass the emperor's message, give two concubines and eunuchs, and four palace maids, which will be personally selected by him." ”
"Concubine Xi, concubine, please come with the slave." The Governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs led the way.
"By the way, find more palace maids who are a little older." Concubine Xi said to the steward.
"Concubine Xi don't worry, you are the most valued person by the emperor, if you come, the slave will definitely call out the best person for you." Xiang Xi, who was afraid of horses, returned.
He specially instructed the people below to prepare chairs for Orange Creek and Concubine Yu, and personally went to the house to pick out some clever palace maids, eunuchs who looked a little more pleasing to the eye, and brought them to the courtyard to line up in two rows, "Concubine Xi, Concubine Yu, they are all ready, please go forward and choose!" ”
