078 After the uncrowned
Concubine Zhao continued: "Now that this Yikun Palace is not big, and there is a Yigui who lives, I feel empty, and I will live in Kunning Palace in the future, isn't it going to be more deserted?" Even if the room is full of people, if the heart is empty, it will not be satisfied. Dongyun, am I ugly? ”
"Where did Niangniang say, if you want to talk about grace and luxury in the palace, who can compare with you?" Dong Yunming knew why her master was melancholy, but she couldn't say those words.
Concubine Zhao smiled coldly: "Really? Graceful and luxurious, I don't remember what I looked like when they were their age, if I had been gentle and dexterous, would he have liked me? ”
"Master......"
"Dongyun, do you know how I got this concubine position and the future position?" Concubine Zhao Guifei stretched out her hand to take off the phoenix hairpin on her hair bun, and ripped off the Dongzhu on her chest, and the beads were scattered all over the ground, crackling, and scared Dongyun a lot. Concubine Zhao stepped back, stepped on the big Dongzhu with one foot, slipped and fell down heavily, fortunately Dongyun hugged in time, and the master and servant rolled together.
Concubine Zhao began to cry, but she covered her mouth and didn't dare to cry, curled up in Dongyun's arms and convulsed, hated to cry loudly, hated to vent her depression wantonly, she got everything she wanted, but after all, she lost the heart she once longed for.
Xuan Ye told her to give her a posterior position, let her ensure that Wu Ya's family is thorough in this palace, and there are no other conditions, as long as Wu Ya's family is comprehensive, she can sit in Kunning Palace safely.
The position of the queen, she has always wanted but can't, the emperor now gives, and can't do without, but the associated responsibility is too cheap and too humble, it turns out that she, the queen of the world, is only for a small permanent existence, today when she stands in a high position to look down on the concubines, she has no sense of glory, behind the radiant clothes, there is only a humiliating heart.
And the one standing in the crowd, slender and beautiful, her eyes are peaceful and clear, and she doesn't know that her humble identity is carrying the light of the middle palace, people say that she is the uncrowned king, so is she the uncrowned queen?
It turned out that she was not unreasonable to harm Wu Ya's clan in the first place, how could she not help but be unintentional when the emperor said it?
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Tong was dedicated to giving birth in the Chengqian Palace, without her walking around the palace, the six palaces felt a lot more deserted, and Concubine Zhao had already begun to make preparations for the Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, without Concubine Tong in front of her to provoke, she was busy all day, and others could not see her thoughts.
In October, Xuan Ye held a feast as scheduled, and discussed with the ministers for three consecutive days to talk about the study of "Tongjian", and Wu Changzai also served tea in the apse for three consecutive days, but it was a pity that just staring at this work every day was enough for her to spend her brains, and she was shocked by the serious atmosphere of the palace when she leaned forward, and she did not dare to trespass again, so she only led the palace maids and eunuchs to guard behind.
Three days later, Xuan Ye was still unsatisfied, and when he talked to her from time to time, Xiao Changzai said very frankly: "The concubine didn't listen to anything. ”
"I bothered to keep you in the back for three days, and you didn't listen to anything?" Xuan Ye reached out and twisted her ears, "What are you doing with these ears?" ”
Of course, the emperor didn't twist it hard, but when he was playing with her, Lan Qi struggled and muttered unconvinced: "Does the emperor think that you don't have to bother with tea and kung fu?" Every day depends on your spiritual head tea, whether it is fire or moisturizing, afraid that you are already hungry to go to * tea, in the morning you are afraid of cold and hot, in the afternoon you are afraid of sleepiness, you want to use ginseng tea, these three days the concubines are not idle, in front of the queen mother is not seen so dedicated, but the queen mother is often afraid of my hard work, distressed or something, the emperor does not praise a word of tea service, but also twist people's ears. ”
Xuan Ye was angry and funny, pointed at her and said: "More and more hypocritical, who did you learn kung fu from, I should leave you alone for a few days, and you will know that you are wrong." ”
Lan Qi snorted softly: "When the emperor ignores the concubines, the concubines go to Cining Palace to serve the Empress Dowager. ”
Xuan Ye came up and pushed her: "Go, go, I see that you are still suspicious, a mouth is getting more and more powerful, in the past, it was okay to be obedient and clever to say a few words, but now one sentence is ten sentences, why don't you go to the imperial grandmother to talk back." ”
Xiao Changzai smiled happily, pointed to the emperor's hand holding her arm and asked, "Since the emperor wants to take the concubine out, how can the concubine go out if he drags it like this?" ”
This really angered Xuan Ye, and as soon as she finished speaking, she was picked up and thrown on the kang to tickle, it was useless to beg for mercy and be coquettish, and Xuan Ye let go until she was going to cry later, and pinched her cheek angrily and said: "You are not allowed to be sharp-toothed, if you do this again, I will really punish you." ”
The villain got into the emperor's arms delicately, sobbed twice and said: "I just want the emperor to spend his brains lecturing in the past few days, so that he wants to make a fuss for you to change your mind, so that your head can rest for a while, the empress dowager said, you must be tired in the past three days, and you want the concubines to pay attention to serve." ”
Xuan Ye also knew that Lan Qi was not a pampered and willful person, and when she accompanied her just now, her spirit was really relaxed, and she kissed her forehead gently: "I know that you have bothered, and every sip of tea in the past three days has been very comfortable, otherwise where will the spirit come from to make trouble with you now, my Xiaochang is the most considerate." ”
Lan Qi smiled like a flower, and asked softly: "Then what does the emperor want to reward his concubines?" ”
Xuan Ye smiled: "When I seal in the moon, I will accompany you every day." ”
Xiao Chang was overjoyed, but he also knew the measure, his eyes rolled slightly, and he compared the number and said, "That's not going to happen...... Concubines, as long as three days. ”
The two were talking happily, Father-in-law Li said in front of the door that he had something to say, Lan Qi got up and put his clothes aside and stood aside, waiting for Father-in-law Li to come in, only to hear him say: "Brother Ah came to tell me that little Brother is not very good." ”
Xuan Ye frowned, asked what the disease was, it was a bit serious to hear the lecture, and it was inevitable that he felt uncomfortable, but Rong Guiren was in the fetus, and a few days ago he also said that the fetus was restless and should not move around, and was thinking about whether to go and see it himself, Lan Qi asked for his life and said: "The emperor should take a rest, the concubine will go for you, and then you will always go to Cining Palace to restore your life, and you can tell Rong Guiren by the way." ”
"Go, you and Rong Guiren are also close, if it is someone else, she may not be at ease, tell the Tai Hospital, and it will be well diagnosed." Xuan Ye has always been willing to get closer to Lan Qi and several concubines he likes in the palace, Rong Guiren has been by his side for more than ten years, and he is the first person he can rest assured of besides Lan Qi.
After Lan Qi received the order, she went to the elder brother's place, and the grandmother and palace maid over there now also knew the weight of Wu Chang in front of the emperor, and heard that the emperor personally sent it, and she was very attentive to serve and guide the way. When I arrived in the little brother's room, I saw that the milk doll, who was only more than a year old, was having a fever, and she couldn't sleep and kept crying in the nurse's arms.
"Little Brother was tired from playing yesterday and had a fever at night." The waiting grandmother said timidly, "I thought it was going to be a pox, but I didn't see it all night, and the doctor came to see it, and it was said that it was infected with wind and cold, and there was no sign of pox." ”
Lan Qi herself has never given birth, and she doesn't know how to take care of the child, but she looks at the little brother very painfully, and she can't help but feel distressed, so she can only tell the palace maids and doctors to take good care of it, but she heard Mama say: "Yesterday, it was Zhao Guifei Niangniang who came to see the princesses of Brother Brother, and brought a lot of toys to eat, and the princesses were a little crazy. ”
Lan Qi's brows trembled slightly, hoping that the little brother would be fine, in case there was anything, Concubine Zhao couldn't tell clearly, and she didn't want to help Concubine Guifei speak, but it was better to have more things in the palace than one thing less, and the less trouble she would add to Xuan Ye, the better.
"You serve with all your heart, the concubine Niangniang also loves the princesses, don't say these words elsewhere, if you say too much, it's right and wrong, if something happens, you will also be implicated and can't get out of it, and now it's important for the little brother to take care of his body." Lan Qi said these gently, and the palace maids and grandmothers also listened humbly, and then the imperial doctor came and said some of the symptoms of the little elder brother, she remembered them one by one, and asked the little eunuch to go to the Qianqing Palace to tell the emperor, and she went to Cining Palace to restore her life first, and the queen mother was naturally worried, and sent her to Rong Guiren to appease.
Rong Guiren had a strong fetus a few days ago, and he didn't get out of bed these days, and today he heard that the little brother was sick, and he has been worried, and when he saw Lan Qi coming, he listened to her talk about the reason, and only sighed deeply: "I have lost so many children, and none of them are taking care of themselves in front of me, and I don't know whether to feel guilty or regretful." The child was taken away as soon as he was born, cold, hot, hungry, and painful, and he had nothing to do with his mother, he couldn't even blame himself, he had nowhere to do it, and he never knew what to do. ”
"You can raise the baby with peace of mind, little brother will be fine." Lan Qi was also helpless in her heart, so she could only say these painless words to comfort her.
Rong Guiren sighed faintly, took her hand and said: "Sister, you are now the person at the top of the heart of the Long Live Lord, although you have a soft temperament, you can be pampered like that, how can you not grow a little temperament, I think about the day when you have a child, but the child will be taken away, and I must not be able to stand it." As a sister, I advise you, one day, if you want to open some, the emperor will love you again, our birth and status are here, and the emperor can't cross the rules of the ancestors, if you break the rules for one or two people, it will be our sin. ”
"Thank you for mentioning it, the concubines will keep these words in mind." Lan Qi knew that Rong Guiren easily didn't say such things to others, and now he regarded himself as a confidant, of course he was very grateful, and comforted her to recuperate, and it didn't take long for the emperor to send something to make her suppress the shock.
When I went back from Rong Guiren, I passed in front of the gate of Chengqian Palace, and I saw the imperial doctor entering, and I didn't think much about it, and when I returned to Zhongcui Palace, Bu Chang was in a hurry and said: "The baby in Chengqian Palace is not good, a few days ago, Rong Guiren's fetus was restless, and today the little brother is sick again, and Concubine Tong is not good, where is there such a coincidence, did you go to Brother Brother's house today to see Duanjing?" Is she good? ”
"The little brother I went to see, I was afraid that I would go to see Duanjing again in case any illness spread to her, so I didn't go to see it, and the princesses and brothers in the brother were also separated. My sister was relieved, and asked the grandmothers, saying that she was quiet and lively. Lan Qi responded, but it was very strange, "Hasn't Concubine Tong always been good?" ”
Bu Chang pulled her and whispered: "I don't dare to say this, but the eldest sister in my family is also married to my cousin, and she has been pregnant four or five times in seven or eight years of marriage, but none of them have been saved, and I don't know if it's because of this, but look at Concubine Tong like this......"
