Chapter Eighty-Four: Clarity
;;;;;;;;;;;;; Popular Changchun Palace
"Niangniang's expectation is really not bad," Tsing Yi praised heartily after returning to the rumors in the palace
Concubine Xian hooked the corners of her mouth, "This palace has always seen it deeper than them"
"How is the lady ready?"
"How" Concubine Xian shook her head, "This palace doesn't plan to do anything, this palace just wants to test it"
"The queen is still the queen, and there is Shu Guifei above, even if the queen falls, it will not be the turn of the palace, and it will not be of much benefit to deal with Su Jingxi in the palace so early."
"Then if the queen falls, the emperor wants to promote Zhen Ronghua"
"Hmph," Concubine Xian sneered, "Tsing Yi, you are all vegetarians in this palace, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, she Su Jingxi has empty appearance, no family background, no heirs, how can she have the qualifications to ascend to the phoenix throne, not to mention the queen mother, she wants her granddaughter to be the queen."
"What Niangniang said is," Tsing Yi Mao Se suddenly confessed, she was worried in vain just now
"If this palace makes a move, in case someone finds out, then it will not be worth the loss in this palace, so the best thing to do for this palace is to let them fight, and even encourage them to fight, and the more powerful the fight is, the more beneficial it is to this palace, understand?"
"It's the slave who understands" Tsing Yi blessed the body, "but what if the emperor really loves Zhen Ronghua?"
"Sincerely" Concubine Xian sneered disdainfully, "How many men in this world have sincerity, not to mention that it is still the emperor, at most, it is just a temporary favorite, with a new one, it will naturally be disgusted with this old emperor, isn't it also very fond of Concubine Xi, and it will not be the same later."
Concubine Xian thought of something but didn't say any more, she also learned by chance that the emperor's biological mother was Concubine Xi who was the favorite harem at that time, but later it seemed that she committed suicide in Changle Palace for some special reasons
As for what happened at that time, she had no way of knowing, and the person who could clearly know what happened was as early as after Concubine Xi's death was given death by the former emperor in anger, and the person who lived to this day must be the only one from Cining Palace
Thinking of this, the virtuous concubine hooked her lips and smiled, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother was harmonious on the surface, but she observed for a long time, but found that it was not so simple, maybe the death of Concubine Xi and the queen mother were inseparable, after all, women's jealousy was the heaviest, and the queen mother was not a good person
I have to say that women still know women best
Zhiqing Garden
"Sister, this is not waiting to see my sister," Du Wanru walked in and said with an impatient look on her face
"The master, slave and maid can't stop it," the palace maid beside Du Wanxi said with a bitter face, it is true that she can't stop it, and she doesn't dare to stop it
Du Wanxi also knew her difficulties, shook her head, and signaled that there was nothing to do, "What do you want to do this time?"
Since Du Wanru asked the Queen Mother to lift Du Wanxi's ban, she has come to Zhijing Garden from time to time, and she is known for her sisterhood, but in fact, she is just here to seek superiority
Du Wanxi was very helpless, but there was no way, there was no one behind her, and Du Wanru was pregnant, if something happened here, then it must be hers, and she couldn't tell how it was then, so every time she could only endure it, and waited for Du Wanru to vent enough, and she left
"I don't want to do anything, isn't this just to see my sister," Du Wanru looks supple and belongs to the type of jasper in the small family, and pinches the handkerchief while talking, and raises it, "Sister, it's too cold here, my sister looks weird and pitiful."
Obviously, the two have long been different, the left sister is the sister, the right sister is the sister, especially she deliberately bites the heavy pronunciation, which sounds very ironic
Du Wanxi couldn't be angry in her heart, and she didn't bother to show a faint non-committal word
Zhiqingyuan and Yanqing are located in the same Chuxiu Palace, and they are very close to each other, Du Wanru will come to her Zhiqingyuan whenever she is in a bad mood or is in a good mood, and she is a little used to it
"Sister, what's wrong, don't you want to pay attention to your sister," Du Wanru admitted that she did it on purpose, Du Wanxi was not happy, and she was happy
She has always been different as a concubine in the family, even if her aunt was favored before, but when she had a party to go out, she must have brought her when Du Wanxi had good things, and it was their turn to pick them after the main house, she had never been accustomed to Du Wanxi's eyes, and now she had the opportunity to naturally want to step on a few more feet
Du Wanru saw that she still didn't speak, and smiled lightly, "Sister, but I heard that my mother was terminally ill, so I couldn't laugh."
There was a hint of cracks on Du Wanxi's calm face, and when she heard this, she finally looked at her, "What do you say, you say it again"
She had been grounded for a long time before, and she had never contacted her family after the ban was lifted, not because she didn't want to, but because there was no way, the grade was too low, and there was no money, and those eunuchs were not willing to help her at all
"Heh, it seems that my sister doesn't know," Du Wanru sneered, and didn't want to hang her appetite, she wanted to see her more than this, she was worried but couldn't do anything
"A few days ago, my sister accidentally learned that her mother was not in good health since years ago, and now it is getting worse and worse, especially when I heard what happened to my sister in the palace, I am even more distressed, I am afraid"
Du Wanxi couldn't control the uneasiness in her heart, her mother was already in poor health, but she was afraid that she was not doing well, and she was even more worried about her heart disease, but she was afraid that she would really not work
Besides, she can guess that her father is obsessed with women and is more greedy for power, but she is afraid that the two will give up on her and choose her sister-in-law, then her aunt will inevitably follow the tide, and her mother's life will be more difficult
"What do you want" Du Wanxi is not a saint, and a large part of the reason why she has been able to survive until now is because her poor mother heard that her mother was sick, and she couldn't do anything as calm as she did at the beginning
Du Wanru touched her round belly, "I want to do what I want, I don't want to, I just want to tell my sister."
After speaking, he didn't give Du Wanxi a chance to continue talking, stood up and put his hand on the hand of the palace maid, "My sister is sleepy, go back and sleep first, my sister has a good dream"
"You" Du Wanxi also got up, but she could only watch her figure leave
"Master, how is this good, but I have to beg Du Liangyuan," the palace maid who had been standing aside said
She is not the palace maid brought into the palace by Du Wanxi, but when she first entered the palace, she was assigned by the palace province, and after the master was grounded, the others walked and died, and she was left alone, not that she was unwilling to go, but that she really saw that she was pitiful, and she felt a little sympathy, and she didn't have a backstage, so she just got by
"Ask her, beg, she won't help me," Du Wanxi, even if she was worried in her heart, she was not so bad that she couldn't see Du Wanru's personality, and her mother was close to the point where she was today, and it was the handwriting of those aunts of the Du family, among them, Du Wanru and her aunt were the worst
"What is the master going to do?"
Du Wanxi shook her head, "I don't know, let me think about it first."
Chonghua Palace
Lu Qi walked over and took a thin cloak, "Niangniang, put it on at night."
Concubine Shu retracted her gaze, "No need, close the window"
"Niangniang, why do you bother?"
These days, the emperor has basically not set foot in Chonghua Palace, and his own master does not go to the emperor, and the two have not seen each other for several days, which has never been the case
If it weren't for the fact that there were still those minions under the power of the six palaces, I am afraid that I would not have taken my own master in my eyes a long time ago, but even so, there are still some minions who disobey the yang and the yin, but their own masters don't care at all
Qiao Jingshu smiled faintly, "This palace is just doing what this palace should do."
"But Niangniang's heart is bitter, Niangniang maybe, too" should also think more about herself, some similar words, Lu Qi can't say anything
She has been serving Concubine Shu since she was a child, and then she married into the palace, and then followed into the palace, she always knew what position her master put the Qiao family in, and would rather be bitter in her heart than ignore the Qiao family
"How can I continue to deceive myself" Qiao Jingshu saw it clearly, perhaps it should be said that she has always been good at deceiving herself
When she has the emperor's favor, she can deceive herself, not let herself see the cruelty hidden under the favor, and not let herself think about his true feelings for her, but now that the emperor has withdrawn his favor, she no longer has a reason to deceive herself
No one is in sight to talk about deception
Lu Qi sighed in her heart, as a personal palace maid, she naturally knew that in fact, the emperor did not love his master as much as rumored outside, not only that, but a little indifferent
In the past, even if the three or five stayed at the master's place from time to time, but not every time they would be pampered, especially after the autumn of last year, they would not even touch the master at all, every time they just listened to the master play the piano or a game of chess, and then they placed their own two people, and many times they were speechless to each other
Maybe the emperor has his considerations for this move, but as a slave of Concubine Shu, all she can think of is her own master, and what she feels sorry for is also her own master
"It's not a bad thing to live clearly, the clouds sail to the moon, the boat travels to the shore, you bear my life, I pay back your debts, I think that karma has gone through hundreds of thousands of eons, and this life in the palace should be returned to the Qiao family."
If there is an afterlife, she would rather be born in an ordinary family, be an ordinary person, and compete for two places in her life, one generation after another
