Chapter Forty-Nine: The Cold Palace

Everyone took incense and incense burners back to the temple of nourishing the heart.

The emperor slammed the incense burner to the ground, and the eyes were terrifying and could kill, and everyone was so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground. He slapped his palm on the table, his fingers clenched tightly on the table, eager to insert his fingers into the table.

"Concubine Li is crazy, she put me in the cold palace, and she will never be able to come out. Little Brother's matter, you'd better keep your mouth tight, if it spreads, you will destroy his nine clans. ”

Everyone nodded in response, and Gonggong Chen asked tremblingly, "Your Majesty, what about this little ......brother?"

"Medical leave, is the little brother still saved?"

Usually the doctor is quite bold, but when he saw today's scene and saw the emperor's black face, he was also a little afraid, "Back to the emperor, even if you raise it, you can't raise it much, and after being poisoned by A Furong, it is estimated that the little brother's internal organs have long been necrotic, and it is already a miracle that he can be born alive." ”

The emperor held his head with his hand, thought for a long time, he was very embarrassed, knowing that he couldn't be cured, but he still couldn't bear to make an order, after all, it was just a baby, his own flesh and blood. "Chen Yu, find a good place to bury it!"

"Huh!" Gonggong Chen took the child out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The emperor lay on the couch alone and thought a lot. No wonder he was so nostalgic for Yonghe Palace during that time, it turned out that Li Concubine used it to confuse him. Even if the concubines are wrong, but they are only to win his favor, in this, whether he is not good enough, whether he is too easy to show his original intentions, and does not achieve even rain and dew, and coordinate the harem.

After this incident, the emperor temporarily dispelled the previous idea of wanting to stand up, and no longer favored Orange Creek alone every night, and tried to get as much rain and dew as possible.

When Concubine Xiang learned that Concubine Li was beaten into the cold palace, she laughed heartily and got better. "I gave birth to a child and was born in a cold palace, haha...... It's really the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life, so she robbed the road halfway, she deserved it, did you say why? ”

Xiaobi beside him returned, "I can't inquire, it seems that the emperor has made an order, and no one dares to say it." ”

Concubine Xiang had a smug expression, and in front of the dresser, she played with that annoying face, "That's it!" What about the little brother who was born? ”

Xiaobi quietly leaned into Concubine Xiang's ear, "I haven't seen it, but the slave maid saw Gonggong Chen yesterday, holding a burden, and secretly buried it in the hydrangea garden in the imperial garden, and the slave maid boldly guessed whether it would be the newborn little brother." ”

Concubine Xiang was confused, what happened to the emperor, the emperor would kill his son with his own hands, and a chill came to her heart. In this Forbidden City, you really can't rely on anyone, and the emperor's words can make your bones gone. Yes, only by sitting on this dragon chair can everything go well, and she must fight for Hongtai to win this position. "It doesn't matter what he is, if he doesn't make a move, he will lose an opponent, and the process is no longer important. Concubine Tong has been banned for so long, I'm happy today, go visit her! ”

"My sister is so interested! In this winter, they are still singing and dancing in the courtyard. "Concubine Xiang is resolute, saying that she looked at Concubine Tong, she really came with great fanfare, just like afraid that others would not know that she had this heart, the maids and eunuchs brought a lot of them.

Orange Creek was dancing happily, and when she heard this, she stopped dancing, "It's Sister Xiangfei!" Why did you have time to come to Kunning Palace today? ”

"Hey! I have to ask my sister for forgiveness, I was unwell some time ago, and I didn't come to visit my sister in time. ”

Orange Creek wiped the sweat from her forehead and responded to Concubine Xiang, "Sister bothered, it's cold, let's go into the house!" ”

"After the queen goes, this palace is the first time to come to Kunning Palace, you say that this thing is the Twelfth Palace, the emperor only gave his sister to live in Kunning Palace, and my sister is afraid that she will be crowned with a phoenix! My sister has become a queen, but don't forget my useless sister! Concubine Xiang said this, and she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart.

When Orange Creek heard this, she just drank the tea in her mouth, and squirted out with a pop, "Sister, don't make fun of your sister with this again, if someone listens to it, my sister has to bear the sin of crossing the distance." ”

"Good good ......"

The two chatted in the house for a while, talking and laughing, and from the face, they really looked like two good sisters.

Without the emperor's sole favor, the harem did have a lot of peace, and the concubines did not complain in his ear, so he had a lot of peace of mind.

As the days went by, Orange Creek began to understand the emperor's thoughts, thinking that if he untied the knot, the emperor would blame himself and immediately compensate her for her. But now it turned out to be like this, and the emperor didn't say a word about the future. It's really a plan that can't catch up with the changes, and the plan to help Hongtian ascend to the throne as a sister-in-law is probably going to take a little effort.

Didn't he want Hongli to succeed him? Orange Creek just didn't let him get his wish, and she wanted him to pay a little price for what Heber did.

After thinking about it for a long time, Orange Creek finally figured out that it must be because of Li Concubine, and she had the idea of going to see Li Concubine.

This is the first time Orange Creek has seen what the cold palace is like here, she used to think that the so-called cold palace is just a little simpler, a little remote, and a little bit worse!

But when she saw it today, it opened her eyes, and she heard Concubine Li's voice from a distance, and she couldn't hear what she was talking about. There was a big brass lock on the door, and a eunuch handed some food through a small window next to it, and it was not hot yet, but there was a smell of rancid food from afar.

Concubine Li took the food, grabbed it with her bare hands and stuffed it into her mouth, unkempt and unkempt, dressed in plain clothes.

When Orange Creek walked in, a sour smell came to his nose, and on the still black hair, there were some small insects lying on his stomach, and Orange Creek pointed to those insects and asked, "Which bugs are what?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, that's lice, it was born after a long time." Yu Lan returned.

Orange Creek originally thought that she was here to see the jokes, and to see what kind of situation this concubine who used to make things difficult for her in every possible way, but when she really saw it, she felt pity, "Lice? Could it be that when you enter the cold palace, you won't be allowed to freshen up? ”

"Mother, this slave really doesn't understand."

"Come here, how do you serve Concubine Li, don't you give you the least grooming?" Orange Creek summoned the only eunuch to serve.

The eunuch returned without guilt, "Back to the mother's words, as long as the people who fall into this cold palace are like this, the emperor will not ask again, they are just left to their own devices, this is the rule of the past." ”

Concubine Li was still talking crazy, "Your Majesty, you return my emperor, why did you kill the emperor......"

Seeing Concubine Li in such a situation, Orange Creek's heart was really cold, and the idea of being on top became more and more ingrained.

"Mother, let's go back! This dark place is afraid of getting into some kind of illness after a long time. Yu Lan said carefully.

Orange Creek looked sad and shook her head, "Go back!" After watching it for a long time, it is even colder. ”

The wind and dust are exhausted, and the flowers are exhausted, and I am tired of combing my hair day and night; Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first. As soon as you enter a wealthy family, you are as deep as the sea, but I didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago was not excluded. The hatred for the emperor can penetrate into the bones for three points, so the desolation of this harem can make her cold for seven points.

Lying in bed that night, Orange Creek tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Late at night, the emperor who hadn't been here for a long time actually came, "Why did you go to bed so early?" The emperor domineeringly dragged Orange Creek up from the bed and pinched her nose.

Orange Creek thought to himself, snubbing her for so long, just casually throwing herself into her arms, wouldn't it be too shameless, if she called, she would come, and if she lingered, how could he know how to cherish it. She lay on the bed, turned away, and said nothing.

The emperor pushed her, "What? I haven't seen you for many days and I'm still angry, are you angry? ”

"Hmm......" Orange Creek pushed away the emperor's hand and covered the quilt.

"Okay, it's not good for me, let's say! How can I forgive? Orange Creek still ignored it, "Say it! As long as it is Yingying's request, I will agree to it all. ”

"Is the emperor serious?" Orange Creek sat up happily.

"You don't joke."

Orange Creek got out of bed and wandered around the house a few times, what did she ask for? It is definitely impossible to directly mention the prince or something, she bit her lower lip tightly and racked her brains to think hard.

"Your Majesty, you see that Hongyang has also reached the age of apprenticeship, and the concubine wants to find her a teacher." Orange Creek wants to take the opportunity to win people's hearts, and there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do.

"That's it! This is a reasonable thing, even if you don't say it, I will find a teacher for him. ”

Orange Creek struck while the iron was hot, "The concubine wants Lord Ortai to be Hongday's master, and the emperor ......" Orange Creek was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so he asked the emperor cautiously.

"I'm no problem with this, but with Lord E, he's just an old stubborn ......."

Orange Creek heard it, "It turns out that the emperor's court, the emperor can't live yet, hey!" Orange Creek shook her head and sighed.

"Whoever said it, Ortai will be Ortai, and tomorrow I will make an order."

Orange Creek secretly rejoiced, "Concubine Xie Emperor." ”

The emperor pointed to his face and tilted his head to the front of Orange Creek, "Hmm! ”

Orange Creek kissed her reluctantly, and the emperor took the opportunity to take her into his arms. With a man she doesn't like at all, she has to laugh with me anytime and anywhere, she feels uncomfortable. The heart is always tangled and tormented.

On the second day, the emperor issued an order as promised, and although Ortai was reluctant to take care of such idle matters, it was not easy to resist the decree clearly.

The Qing Dynasty is a country that was fought back on horseback, and the ancestors left their skills and could not be wasted, so the emperor has always advocated that the brothers learn both civil and military, especially riding archery, the emperor has to open a riding and archery competition every month, and the top brothers, he is favored, but he can go to the hunting ground with him to dabble once, and go to the Taihe Hall to listen to the morning one day.

Everyone knows that the emperor is turning a corner and cultivating his brothers. Openly and secretly they all mean to cultivate the prince.

"Niangniang, today the emperor arranged for the elder brothers to learn to ride horses, and the eleventh elder brother is also going, do you want to go and see it!" Yu Lan asked the emperor for a night, and the face was full of tiredness.

"Go, why don't you go, every time Hongyang progresses, I, who is a mother, will never be absent."

At the horse racing scene, the brothers of the palace had already arrived, and seeing Orange Creek coming, Concubine Xiang greeted her from afar, "My sister is really brilliant today, is it that the emperor is biased and has found something good for his sister?" ”

"My sister laughed at my sister again, the emperor rarely came to Kunning Palace recently, so he didn't have anything to say, not even a single sesame seed."

The two laughed and took their seats.

Yu Lan leaned over and whispered to Orange Creek, "Niangniang, the slave maid just saw that Xiaobi beside Concubine Xiang and the little maid feeding the horses were there. ”

Orange Creek, who was still smiling just now, suddenly looked sad, she didn't know why, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
