Seeing the rich and rich red coral, the women were curious about what the emperor would give to Shu Concubine. At that time, Shu Concubine glanced at it casually, thinking that she was about the same, but then this kind of thing happened, and she saw that the things given to Wei Hongyan were so precious and exquisite, and it was her turn to open her own at this time, and Shu Concubine couldn't help but feel a little weak.

The word "Shu" is written under the box, which is indeed Shu Concubine's object, and the box has not yet been opened. The eunuch said that Concubine Ling was in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion right now, and this thing was sent straight to Pinghu Qiuyue, and they went to get it just now, and they didn't alarm Concubine Ling.

It's good not to say this, but it is inevitable that some people will be sarcastic: "You are really good at errands, since Concubine Ling Niangniang has not touched his hands, how cheap it is to go to Pinghu Qiuyue to come back first, I have to come here to ask Shu Concubine Niangniang, this is a persimmon to pick a soft pinch, think Shu Concubine Niangniang is easy to bully?" ”

Seeing them stirring up right and wrong like this, Lu Guiren really felt that it was inappropriate, so he accepted the gift box for Shu Concubine, and wanted to exchange Ling Concubine's, but Shu Concubine stretched out her hand to press Ling Concubine's share, and grabbed her own things, and opened it in front of everyone.

The hall was quiet for a moment, the women looked at each other and looked at each other, and then it exploded, and some people tried to take a look at what Concubine Yu and Concubine Chun got, Concubine Yu's had been put away, and Concubine Yu's was at hand, she generously let the white pear open, it was a pair of jade bracelets with extremely moist water, although it was not as good as the set of red coral of Ling Concubine, it was also a rare good object.

Seeing the constant chatter in the hall, Concubine Chun felt that she should come forward at this time, so she coughed lightly and said: "The emperor is partial, it is also a common thing, Sister Shu Concubine has to think about the good things she has gotten, I am afraid that the sisters here have never seen it in their lives, you can be relieved." Let them take away Concubine Ling's things, they should have been hers. ”

Concubine Shu smiled disdainfully, got up proudly and said: "Niangniang's words sound strange and uncomfortable, it is the sisters who are holding grievances for the concubines, and the concubines don't say half a word." What is Concubine Ling's background, I haven't seen good things, the emperor naturally loves her more, our Nalan family has never seen anyone use red coral, they are all very cheesy, who will be rare and who will be more accountant now? ”

Concubine Chun said steadily: "Sure enough, it's Concubine Shu's sister who has a big heart. ”

The corners of Concubine Shu's mouth hooked a sneer, raised her hand to push, and actually threw Concubine Ling's box in front of the eunuch, and she didn't know if she fell into the contents, she said coldly: "In the future, you have to be more careful when you are on errands, this palace is easy to talk to, and Concubine Ling may not spare you." ”

The eunuch hurriedly picked up the box, bowed his head and thanked him, and immediately ran out without waiting for Concubine Shu to speak again, Concubine Yu felt so bored, got up and said to Concubine Chun: "The concubine still has some things to do, so I won't accompany Niangniang much, the zongzi here are very delicious, and I also asked Niangniang to give a few more concubines, and wait for Yongqi to get out of the study to make snacks for him." ”

Concubine Chun said politely: "I have already sent it to the study, my brothers and brothers have food, and I can't keep you if you are busy with the affairs of the Sixth Palace now, so get busy." ”

Concubine Yu hadn't yet saluted, but when she saw Concubine Shu passing her, she blessed her body and said: "The concubine is a little restrained after eating zongzi, and she wants to go out for a walk to eat, and she can't accompany her mother more." After that, he turned around and left, not giving face to Concubine Chun, let alone Concubine Yu, and ran out violently.

Lu Guiren hurriedly put away a few things and handed them to the palace maid, as if he was afraid that Shu Concubine would go out and have something to do, so after giving Concubine Chun, he also went out.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu are both older than Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu was still a teenage girl when she entered the palace, although she has been in the palace for some years, but now she is only in her twenties, and it is the time to have temperament. And such a good age, such a good face, but because others are favored and stay alone in the empty room, and she has to look at people's teasing faces everywhere, it is not strange that she can't bear it, but she has been in the palace for many years, and this bit of cultivation has not been cultivated, Concubine Yu is sorry for her, and Concubine Chun is secretly happy.

When Concubine Yu came out, she could still see Concubine Shu's angry figure, and Lu Guiren followed behind her, as if she was persuading something. Bai Li said to the master on the side: "Concubine Shu was not like this in the past, but the slave maid thinks that since Fucha Fujin can be so good with Concubine Ling, why don't Concubine Shu also have more dealings with Concubine Ling, if you have to be so twisted, can the emperor give a good face." ”

"What is the use of us saying this, she can't figure it out herself." Concubine Yu sighed, thinking about Fang Cai's matter, and found it interesting, "It's so coincidental, it's the wrong one with Hongyan." ”

Naturally, it is not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose, Ruyin knew her cousin too well, and she would do something impulsively if she had to hang her cousin's temper. Although it is not kind to deliberately lure her to make mistakes like this, they have the benefits waiting for her in the future, and what they want is that Shu Concubine will be peaceful and smooth for the rest of her life, if her heart is hung up by someone with ulterior motives, and she really does irreparable things when she turns back, her cousin's life is over. And the pure concubine, who can swallow gold and commit suicide in front of the queen mother, what else can't be done.

This matter was a coincidence, the queen only heard a few words afterwards, and the emperor was even more inexplicable, so he simply ignored it, only Ruyin and Hongyan knew what was going on, and this alone was not enough.

As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival passed, midsummer came, the queen successfully came out of the confinement, she was well raised during pregnancy, and there were no worries in the confinement, and everything was naturally good for physical and mental pleasure. When the concubines gathered in Jifeng Xuan to greet the queen mother with the queen, they saw the queen wearing a summer palace robe depicting dragons and embroidered phoenixes, and even the gauze skirt exposed under the gown was hooked with gold thread and thread to outline auspicious clouds, the queen has always been noble, but the death of the second elder brother dimmed the light around her a little, and in order to mourn the deceased son, the queen has been wearing extremely simple for so many years.

On such an occasion, Hongyan will not avoid it, and the Queen Mother will ignore her, which can be regarded as two places of peace. She followed Concubine Yu quietly, occasionally glancing at the high queen, and her heart was full of joy.

Putting aside the entanglement between wives and concubines, Hongyan is still full of hope that the queen's future life will be better and stronger, she just entered the palace to Changchun Palace on an errand, and only before the second elder brother fell ill, she saw the queen she sees now. After the second elder brother fell ill and died, even if the queen let go of her knot in the past few years, she never saw the former scenery again.

Now that the glory of the mother of the middle palace has reappeared, Hongyan looks up at this most noble woman in the clouds, silently praying for her and her son, she would rather hide under the glory of the queen, guard her own small inch of the world, enjoy the emperor's love, and live a peaceful and happy life.

Thinking like this, Hongyan swept her eyes on Shu Concubine, she suddenly felt that it was not good to calculate Shu Concubine like that, but she and Ruyin had discussed it, and now that she withdrew halfway, the grievances that Shu Concubine had suffered before were not worth it.

Shu Concubine seemed to feel that she was being stared at, and turned around coldly, her eyes meeting each other. But Hongyan's kindness is nothing less than provocation and contempt in Shu Concubine's eyes, she used to only look at Hongyan with unconvinced eyes, but now she can glare at her viciously, as if she gritted her teeth with hatred.

Such a fierce gaze made Hongyan's shaken heart settle, Ruyin said it well, a personality like Concubine Shu will fall into someone else's trap sooner or later, rather than letting her be pitted by others, it is better to fall in the hands of her cousin, so that they will follow her at the bottom and will not hurt her.

Hongyan retracted her gaze and continued to listen to the Queen Mother without saying a word, and after sitting like this for half an hour, the Queen Mother dispersed everyone.

The joy of the full moon of the little elder brother had to have a big feast, but the queen mother just instructed Concubine Yu to put Hongyan aside, Hongyan didn't care, but Concubine Yu didn't care, and after leaving Jifengxuan, she pulled Hongyan to talk and discussed with her how to arrange the banquet.

In Jifeng Xuan, the queen took her son to stay for a while, and saw that Hejing took care of her younger brother in a decent manner, and the queen mother praised her for being sensible and capable, and said that she would marry in the coming year, and maybe the queen mother would be able to hold her great-grandson soon.

The little girl couldn't help but be shy, ignored her grandmother, and hugged Yongcong with the nurse to go out to bask in the sun.

The queen mother just wanted to talk to her daughter-in-law alone, and Mama Hua and the palace maids also retreated, and the queen smiled bitterly in her heart, she knew that her mother-in-law should come to her again, how to consolidate the posterior position, and how to control the teachings of the six palaces.

But now the queen's mood is also different, after Yongcong was born, she began to feel that the distance between herself and Hongyan was getting farther and farther away, she never thought about guarding against Hongyan, but now she will worry about whether it is really appropriate to have such a person who knows the roots by her side.

Looking back on the past, when Yonglian was still there, no concubine could approach the queen's side, whether it was in the elder brother's office or the palace, she never put any concubine in her eyes, but now Hongyan knows everything about her, and even takes care of the people and things around her neatly, doing things carefully and steadily, being low-key and unassuming, the queen sometimes wonders, whether she is pushed to the middle palace, she will not have stage fright. At least for this year, Hongyan "replaced" her well.

The Queen Mother said faintly at this moment: "Just now they are standing underneath, I look at them one by one, I have to say that Wei Hongyan is really outstanding, he used to be a face, but now he is not only beautiful, but also has a temperament that does not lose people." If you don't say that she is from the palace maid, others will not believe it at first glance. Xian Guifei and Shu Concubine, these noble-born people, are not as good as her. ”

The queen did not speak, but listened quietly.

The Queen Mother said: "An Yi, are you really not afraid that one day she will grow into a towering tree?" ”
