Chapter 263: Concubine Qi backtracked
The so-called listener has a heart, with Wen Wanrong's understanding of Concubine Qi, Concubine Shu was pregnant with her first child, and she tried to find the best imperial doctor in the hospital, but now she is finally pregnant, but she is looking for a new doctor who is not well-known, which is too abnormal......
Out of Renshou Palace, she wanted to go to Hehuan Garden to remind Peony to take more precautions, but halfway through, Wen Wanrong thought carefully that this was not right, and decided not to go, turned around and left the palace directly and returned home, never found the palace people who followed all the way on the other side of Yongdao.
Seeing Wen Wanrong's back disappearing outside the noon gate, the palace people hurriedly returned to Jingyang Palace.
Jingyang Palace.
White smoke wafted out of the copper incense burner with bright wings of the crane, and even the skirt was stained with a vague aroma, Qi Shufei's body was heavier than a month, and now she was too lazy to move on the chaise longue, eating and drinking were all served by the palace people.
"See clearly?" She stroked her stomach with her hands, turned over lazily, lay flat on the couch, tilted her head slightly, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows had the majestic look of Queen Du back then.
The palace people didn't dare to gasp, bowed respectfully, and said with their foreheads on the ground: "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid saw Princess Wanyi leave Renshou Palace with her own eyes and leave the palace from the noon gate." ”
Concubine Qi Shu was skeptical: "Didn't go to Hehuan Garden?" ”
The palace people shook their heads again and again: "I didn't go." ”
Concubine Qi Shu snorted: "Count her acquaintances." ”
Then he waved his hand and withdrew all the palace people, and called the servant girl Yunsheng, who was waiting for him, to come over, and asked alone: "Can you do what you wanted to do some time ago?" ”
Yun Sheng knew the cold and the hot and added an extra brocade pad to Concubine Qi's waist, and replied: "Don't worry, the slave has already done it." ”
Concubine Qi Shufei moved her body nervously, changed her comfortable position, and asked, "Is there any suspicion over there in Hehuan Garden?" ”
Yunshang chuckled and replied vaguely: "Niangniang just needs to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and leave the outside affairs to the slave maid." ”
This Yunshang was originally a palace maid given by Queen Du, Concubine Qi Shu didn't want to see her, since Qi You saw this girl, she had twice in front of Concubine Qi, which attracted her attention.
Later, Concubine Qi Shu found that this palace maid did have some means, so she was promoted to the housekeeper's aunt for a period of time, and then transferred to her side.
As for how Yunshang got into Qi You's eyes, Jingyang Palace is not without rumors, but Concubine Qi Shu must rely on the Qi family, and some things are just closed to it, and the left is nothing more than the joy of flesh and the trade of color rights.
And Yunshang is also an interesting master, she knows that her appearance in the harem Yunyun is not average, there are beautiful women such as concubines and concubines around the emperor, where can the emperor look at ordinary goods, it is better to mess with officials, as long as he is not discovered, he is still happy, it is better than a lonely old life.
Now Qi You hasn't been to Jingyang Palace for a long time, if it weren't for Concubine Qi Shufei mentioning Hehuan Garden, Yunshang would have almost forgotten Qi You, thinking that it was Qi You's idea from Niangniang's pregnancy to how to frame Hehuan Yuan.
However, Concubine Qi couldn't imagine that these bad water from Qi You's mouth were not done by one person, every time Yunshang and him were happy, an analysis, an idea, every time Qi You's heart came, he was happy and contemptuous, and called Yunshang a wanderer, I don't know the reward or friendship, and tossed people to death, although Yunshang sometimes didn't like it.
Yunshang came back to his senses, and the person had already walked to the atrium outside the hall, looking at the spring color of red flowers and green willows in the court, and he didn't think it was beautiful.
Seeing that the flower viewing party is approaching day by day, Wen Wanrong will go back to her home every day in addition to going to Renshou Palace to set up the province, and try to go out less and socialize less.
Qin Yang accidentally learned about this from Holly's mouth, and when he returned to the house, he joked about Wen Wanrong, how could she be so virtuous and gentle?
Wen Wanrong waited for him to change his clothes, asked someone to set the meal, and said sullenly: "You still have the heart to make fun of me, the harem is not peaceful, I am really afraid that the fire will burn on our heads." ”
Qin Yang said "oh" with interest and asked what was going on?
Wen Wanrong gave a general overview of the recent situation in Jingyang Palace, and said: "Actually, I don't know much, but Concubine Qi suddenly changed her temperament, so people have to guard against it." ”
Qin Yang asked casually: "You didn't remind the alliance and ask her to pay more attention?" ”
"What an alliance." Wen Wanrong put down her chopsticks and said, "According to common sense, you should call Peony a sister-in-law, if it weren't for Qin Yu, he would ......"
"Alright, alright." Qin Yang didn't like or want to hear the names of those two people, so he interrupted horizontally and took a bowl of rice.
Wen Wanrong saw that his face had changed, and she didn't say anything more, so as not to be too much, a good meal lost its taste.
Qin Yang was full of wine and food, and his mood also improved, the air was warm, and it was still early, he sat under the porch to eat, and by the way, he asked Wen Wanrong to come out and eat fruit together.
"Dog's face is hairy." Wen Wanrong saw that he was still smiling the last moment, and the next moment she was smiling, and couldn't help but count a sentence.
Qin Yang didn't care, picked up a piece of peeled loquat and fed it to her, and asked with a smile: "Sweet, right?" ”
Wen Wanrong glared at him, didn't overdo it, and deliberately said the opposite: "It's not sweet at all, it's bitter." ”
"Bitter? Shall I taste it? ”
Qin Yang cooperated with the acting, came to the front, smiled evilly, said "I don't mind your saliva", bowed his head to kiss, and was blocked by Wen Wanrong.
"Someone." She glanced at him with disgust, then glanced at the people coming and going down the verandah, and subconsciously sat back and distanced herself.
Qin Yang is used to it and doesn't mind, but Wen Wanrong is thin-skinned, he can only be a large number of adults, let her a little, the big lama cocked Erlang's legs, leaned back, threw a loquat in his mouth, and changed his words: "Hey, haven't you heard recently, the emperor agrees to Xibogou's resignation, and he is now at ease to be the envoy of the Great Zhou, waiting to leave Yandu." ”
"So fast?" Wen Wanrong was slightly surprised, she was full of satisfaction and worried about the flower viewing party recently, and she didn't care about anything else, but she didn't hear any news from Renshou Palace.
"Fast?" Qin Yang glanced at her disappreciably, his gaze drifted into the distance again, and said calmly, "Sign a peace agreement with Xibo, and set to leave at the end of this month, how many do you count?" ”
It's okay not to ask, but when she asked, Wen Wanrong calculated in her heart, about seven or eight before the end of the month, she thought of Peony, and asked Qin Yang in a low voice: "Are you leaving Yandu with the Xibo envoy?" ”
Qin Yang nodded yes.
Wen Wanrong asked again: "You are all gone, what should she do?" "I don't dare to mention my name, half the word.
Qin Yang was brainless when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "What should she do?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he came to his senses, his expression sank, he didn't know a word, and got up and went into the house.
Wen Wanrong followed behind and said nervously: "Qin Yang, don't blame me for being too talkative, you are all gone, what's the point of leaving Peony alone in the palace?" Second, is Qin Yu so ruthless that he really leaves the peony behind? If he doesn't like her, why let her go? What about Brother Ying? Even if it's peaceful, don't you plan to recognize it back? You know how much that child longs to go back to his biological parents. ”
Qin Yang glanced at it and said nothing.
Wen Wanrong looked back at the open door, turned around and closed it, and came over again: "Yu private, Peony is also a member of the Qin family, although grandmother doesn't let her pass through the door, but the mother and son are constantly cut, you don't know if you're not at home, many times I have accompanied the children to take a nap, Brother Ying whispered and called his mother, do you think he called me?" ”
Qin Yang was annoyed when he heard about the peony, and frowned: "He doesn't call you, what can he do?" Are we bad for cubs? Wen Wanrong, you are a spy with the enemy country, thinking that shouting Uncle Huang, the Zhulian Nine Clans can escape? Don't be stupid! ”
"But the peony is indeed ......"
"Now she has no meaning for anything, otherwise grandmother would not have succeeded Qin Ying to our name."
Wen Wanrong was irrefutable in one sentence, she lowered her head, wrung the handkerchief in her hand, sighed boredly, and said softly: "I won't mention it in the future, don't be angry." ”
"I'm not angry," Qin Yang patted his thigh, motioned for her to sit up, hugged her soft waist, rested her chin on her shoulder, smelled the familiar body fragrance on the placket, and said in a soothing tone, "Qin Yu how to arrange it, I really don't know, in short, if the Heishui River goes to war, we will be safe." ”
Wen Wanrong understood what he meant, and was extremely reluctant to hug Qin Yang's neck, and said dejectedly: "We are safe in any war, you are fighting with your life and protecting us." ”
"I'm fine, I'm sure I'm going to go and how to get back, you and your grandmother just take Sasa and guard the house." Qin Yang didn't want to see the other party's sad appearance, so he patted his back and tried his best to comfort him.
Wen Wanrong said in her heart: "But I don't want to stay in Yandu, I want to go with you, can you take me with you to Heishui River?" ”
Qin Yang laughed when he heard this, and after a while, he stroked it and asked, "The border is at war at any time, what are you going to do?" ”
Wen Wanrong pushed him away, looked at each other, and said seriously: "Go and accompany you, what if there is a place for me that is useful?" ”
Qin Yang didn't want to refuse: "There's no place to use you." ”
He asked her to bring the military book, Wen Wanrong brought the military book, sat next to him, and muttered: "When I was in Jiangrong, I was still used as a beauty, I'm afraid I forgot it." ”
"Don't dig over old accounts, Yanmen Pass is more dangerous than Jiangrong." Qin Yang said, covering his face with a book, and his voice was faint, "Before it was before, and now it is now." ”
"How was it before? How about now? Obviously knowing what the other party meant, Wen Wanrong wanted to make her words clear.
Qin Yang was silent for a while.
"Ask you, and you won't answer me." Wen Wanrong pressed the book in his hand, approached the general and said, "Isn't it just shy, timid, afraid that I know." ”
Qin Yang was not fooled, he didn't bother to raise his eyelids, and with a bang, he turned the pages of the book, and obviously didn't put the trick in his eyes.
Wen Wanrong thought, just don't put her in her eyes, there is always someone who can cure her, she looked outside, saw that it was still early, and turned around and went out.
As soon as she left, the room suddenly quieted down, and Qin Yang simply sat on the rocking chair in the hall and read a book, the light was just right.
However, after a while, he suddenly sat up straight, and heard a crisp sound of silver bells from the courtyard gate, as if it was from the bell on the silver bracelet that Sasa was wearing.
Qin Yang got up suddenly, he was in no mood to read, he took the book one by one, and spun around in the house like a headless fly in a panic, thinking that he would be discovered by his ancestors, and if he didn't play with her until he went to sleep, it would not be over.
Seeing that the mother and mother entered the courtyard gate and walked in the verandah, Sassa had already begun to shout Daddy at the top of her voice, and her voice was sharp and thin.
Wen Wanrong smiled with satisfaction, touched the jade face of her baby girl, and encouraged: "When you see your father, you have to scream loudly, do you hear?" ”
Sassa didn't understand her mother's thoughts, so she nodded cooperatively.
After the two finished speaking, they had already stepped under the porch, and before Wen Wanrong entered the house, she heard a shout outside the courtyard: "Second master!" You can't step on the tiles over there! It was only repaired yesterday! ”
Wen Wanrong followed the prestige again, and saw a tall figure jumping down from the roof ridge outside the courtyard, and by the way, there was the sound of several pieces of rubble falling on the ground...... Fighting wits and courage with General Qin, she lost slightly.
In short, Sassa didn't find Qin Yang in the house, so she pestered Wen Wanrong to play, and when she was tired of playing, she fell asleep on the side bed, and then waited for Qin Yang to return to the house from the study, and the mother and mother both slept, only a large wick of beans was left on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Sasa rarely sleeps with her parents, lying on the bed on all fours, Wen Wanrong next to her sleeps sideways, one hand on her bulging belly, sleeping quietly and peacefully.
Qin Yang looked at the two very similar faces, couldn't help but light his steps, put down the curtain beside the bed, turned around and blew the lamp, and prepared to go to the West House to sleep, so as not to wake up the mother and daughter.
"Qin Yang, what time is it?" Wen Wanrong was a light sleeper, heard the footsteps in the house, woke up in a daze, subconsciously hugged her daughter, and asked softly.
"It's not early, hurry up and go to bed." The voice came through the curtain.
Wen Wanrong sighed, tucked the quilt corners for Sasa, and fell asleep again.
Probably tired of accompanying Sasa last night, plus a good night's sleep, Wen Wanrong entered the palace as usual when she heard the grandmother of Renshou Palace mention the imperial garden, and then remembered that today was the day of the flower viewing party.
The grandmother of Renshou Palace is familiar with her, and she is very good at observing words and feelings, and comforts with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to worry, the queen mother has been working hard for state affairs recently, and she took the opportunity of the flower viewing party to relieve the emperor's boredom, so it was held two times in advance, which is a family banquet, and there is no need to be restrained." ”
That's the case, but Wen Wanrong, the royal prince who recognized her halfway, knew that there were so many names in the palace, and she was afraid that she would break the rules and discredit the Qin family, so she was worried and blamed herself on her face: "Thank you for reminding me, blame me for being thoughtless." ”
"No wonder the Queen Mother loves the five princesses the most, compared to other princesses, Princess Wanyi is the most humble," Mama smiled, and immediately apologized, "The old slave talks a lot, I hope the princess will forgive her sins." ”
Wen Wanrong pulled the green silk on her ears and sideburns, and said with a light smile: "What is the crime of Mama, compared to several sisters, I joined the clan late, so I am naturally more cautious." ”
The more modest her attitude, the more she is loved by the grandmother of Renshou Palace, although the grandmother is the same as the palace slave, but compared with the palace and the Renshou Palace, the difference is obvious, the monthly money is a few steps lower than that of the Renshou Palace, not to mention all kinds of money during the New Year's Festival, so that most of the harem palace people follow the Renshou Palace, as long as the Renshou Palace is good, very few people dare to chew the root of the tongue behind their backs.
Therefore, Jingyang Palace tried to create Wen Wanrong's rights and wrongs several times but was unsuccessful.
But this is from the past, since Qi You and Yunshang, Qi Shufei has a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Just when Wen Wanrong hurriedly went back to change her clothes, Yunshang went back to Jingyang Palace just now.
As soon as Concubine Qi saw her, she asked, "Are all today's flower viewing parties arranged?" Make sure nothing goes wrong. ”
Yunshang nodded affirmatively, and said fiercely: "Niangniang just put her heart in her stomach, and ensure that the cheap goods in Hehuan Yuan will not return." ”
"That's good." Concubine Qi looked down at her bulging abdomen, smiling heartily, she wanted to clear all the obstacles in front of her before the child arrived.
The cherry blossom viewing will be held at a short time before the third hour, when the purple and red flowers of the Imperial Garden are in full bloom.
Wen Wanrong sent the mansion to the Privy Council to inform Qin Yang of this, and entered the palace in advance, Qin Yang didn't plan to go, it happened that the preparation for the Xibo war required the emperor's holy judgment, so he simply entered the palace, but he didn't go to the imperial garden, but went straight to the imperial study.
The emperor also had no intention of appreciating the flowers, so he stood in front of the map with Qin Yang to analyze the terrain, the situation and the strength of the enemy and the enemy.
The two were discussing in the middle of a heart, and had long forgotten the time of the flower viewing party, the queen mother took Wen Wanrong and a group of concubines in the harem to wait for nearly half an hour, the queen mother couldn't wait, and asked someone to invite, and invited twice in a row before the news that the emperor's sedan chair was on the way.
Wen Wanrong saw that the queen mother's face was not very good, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Imperial grandmother, the people of the palace have sent a message that General Qin will come with the imperial uncle, and the grandson wants to be happy that the imperial study has delayed the discussion of state affairs, so it doesn't matter if we wait." ”
"State affairs are affairs, but family banquets are not matters?" The queen mother's tone was dissatisfied, "The emperor works hard all day, so what if you lay down a lot of country." ”
"The Imperial Grandmother's." Wen Wanrong pursed her lips, what else was she thinking, and suddenly there was a sound of the emperor arriving not far away, she closed her mouth in her interest, and hurriedly got up to prepare to salute.
As soon as she looked up, she was stunned, not only her, but also the grandmother and concubines of Renshou Palace were stunned, wasn't Concubine Qi Shu not coming?
But that gorgeous dress can't cover her stomach, and the woman standing next to the emperor is not Concubine Qi Shu.
Only the Queen Mother, who has lived in the palace for a long time, has seen a lot of cows, ghosts, gods and snakes, and is not surprised by the rebellion of Jingyang Palace, she said lightly to the grandmother beside her: "What do you see, why don't you add a seat quickly, and then take some soft cushions for Concubine Qi to lean on, she is heavy." ”
Mama took the order, and Wen Wanrong also came back to her senses.
Concubine Qi Shu seems to have been prepared for a long time, first to give the queen mother a salute, is she tired in the dormitory, and wants to come out and walk around, and the imperial doctor is also in favor of moving around.
The Queen Mother hummed and asked Wen Wanrong to accompany Qin Yang to sit, although she smiled on her face, she ignored Concubine Qi, and turned her head to say a few words to the emperor.
The emperor stepped into the banquet and sat down, staring intently at the two tables, wearing an ethereal translucent gauze skirt, swaying lightly with the spring breeze in the April sunshine, with the artistic conception of the breeze blowing the willows and willows, and the drizzle moistening the flowers and flowers redder.
"Give Concubine Lan a seat." Xiao Jing ignored the presence of others, made an exception and added more palace chairs next to the dragon chair and called Peony over.
Peony got up and obeyed the order, but deeply felt the resentful gaze cast on the other side.
No, it must be Concubine Qi Shu.
For a moment, the resentment vanished, replaced by a smirk and a look of good play.
Peony didn't have time to think too much, so he was vigorously pulled to the chair, Xiao Jing laughed: "I miss the beauty, can the beauty miss me?" ”
In front of everyone's eyes, and the queen mother was present, Peony didn't dare to lose her courtesy, lowered her eyes and whispered: "How can the concubine He De be favored by the emperor alone, please let the emperor bless, rain and dew." ”
The words are heard to the emperor, to the queen mother, and even more to the concubines of the harem, she has no intention of being an enemy of anyone, and has no intention of monopolizing the emperor's favor.
Concubine Qi naturally didn't believe it, brushed the palace flowers on her bun, disgusted to give Peony a slap in the face, and then looked at the other concubines, with different looks, some gloating, some watching good shows, and there were no lack of people who really cared, as for Wen Wanrong, she sat behind several princes with Qin Yang, belonging to the clan family, each silently eating their own, no one was idle to panic and mix in the emperor's family affairs.
A good flower appreciation will make a moth, the queen mother will leave the table under the pretext of being unwell halfway through eating, and as soon as her old man leaves, the atmosphere of the banquet becomes subtle.
After a while, a few concubines saw Concubine Qi's eyes, and the three of them proposed to go to the hundred flowers near the Golden Lotus Pond in groups.
Xiao Jing saw through the tricks of the concubines, smiled indifferently, and asked the people around her: "Would the concubines like to accompany me?" ”
How could the peony refuse, and should be stubborn.
So with the emperor as the leader, the prince, the concubines, the clan relatives, and a group of palace people, the vast flowers went to the flowers, and the peony was held tightly and walked on the emperor's side, ushering in all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, just not to see.
Xiao Jing didn't care about it, he only asked what flowers the peony liked, and if he liked it, he could move to Hehuan Garden to enjoy it.
Peony looked around, shook his head gently, was about to speak, suddenly heard the melodious sound of pipa from the Golden Lotus Pond, everyone followed the prestige, and saw a shadow standing on a leaf boat, graceful Tingting, the bow of the boat hung with cherry pink lanterns, wearing a moon-white short shirt, wearing a Suzhou embroidered skirt, slowly kneeling and sitting, a song "Mountains and Flowing Water", played three points in love, and the tactful and melodious singing came -
It is like Mount Tai, and it is like a river......
This scene is almost the same as when Peony first entered the palace, she opened her mouth in surprise, Xiao Jing had no smile at the corner of her mouth, looked at her without smiling, and asked in a deep voice for a while: "What does this mean by beauty?" ”
Peony returned to her senses, bowed down, and pleaded: "The concubine has not arranged any surprises for the emperor, please let the emperor know." ”
Before she could finish speaking, there was a small puzzled voice from the crowd: "Huh? Isn't that skirt the lady's, how did it run to the cardamom of Hehuan Garden? ”
