Text Chapter 923 - A Beautiful View in the Garden
"Has the emperor been in Xu Jieyu's palace these days?" Guo Nianyun asked with a smile, but at the moment he was thinking about how to alienate the concubines from Yue'er.
"Back to the concubine Niangniang, the emperor has not been to the Chengxiang Hall in the past few days." Xu Yingxue said helplessly, but she was very puzzled by Guo Nianyun's questioning.
"The emperor is already busy with state affairs, and there are many affairs in the previous dynasty these days, and I, the emperor of Qingning Palace, rarely come." Guo Nianyun said with a smile, but there was indescribable bitterness in his heart.
Guo Nianyun was chatting happily with Xu Yingxue and Liu Qingwu, and at this time, Concubine Xian, accompanied by her maid Qiu Ju, also walked into Qingning Palace, and as soon as she entered the palace, she hurriedly saluted Guo Nianyun.
"Concubine Xian has seen Concubine Niangniang." Concubine Xian said with a smile, but after speaking, she didn't forget to look at Xu Yingxue and Liu Qingwu, who had come to Qingning Palace early.
"You and my sister, no need to be polite, sit down." Guo Nianyun hurriedly said to Concubine Xian. After Concubine Xian sat down, she looked at Liu Qingwu with interest.
"The two younger sisters are really diligent, and they came so early." Concubine Xian picked up the handkerchief and covered her mouth and coughed twice as she spoke, and at this time, Lu Luo, the maidservant who served Guo Nianyun in the Qingning Palace, understood.
"Chunxi, why don't you hurry up and serve tea to a few nobles." After Lu Luo finished speaking, the little maid named Chunxi hurriedly went to make tea for the concubines sitting in the middle of Qingning Palace.
This virtuous concubine entered the palace earlier than Guo Nianyun, her real name is Ruxuan, the emperor calls her Xuan'er on weekdays, and she used to be favored for a while, but now that there is Yue'er in the harem, the emperor rarely goes to her palace again.
For this Ruxuan, Guo Nianyun will give three points of courtesy on weekdays, although Guo Nianyun is now the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, but thinking that Ruxuan has served the emperor longer than herself, she has always called her sister.
Chunxi, the palace maid in Qingning Palace, was having tea with a few maids, when Du Nishang and Ji Hanyan walked in with the palace maids who were serving, and when they saw Guo Nianyun and the two, they saluted and said, "I've seen the concubine." ”
"Get up, and sit down." Guo Nianyun said with a smile, since the last time the two of them were left in Qingning Palace to talk, the two of them have become a lot closer on weekdays.
Regardless of whether the two of them are showing her on the surface or really intimate, Guo Nianyun feels that it is no longer important, the important thing is that as long as the two can share the emperor's favor from Yue'er, it is the best.
Today's Du Nishang doesn't look very happy, Guo Nianyun is very happy to see her like this, it seems that the emperor accompanied Yue'er in the Hanbing Palace last night, Du Nishang already knew.
Guo Nianyun was smiling proudly, and at this time, Cui Jingyao and Wei Linglong also walked in together accompanied by the maidservant, and the Qingning Palace suddenly became lively. The two of them saluted Guo Nianyun together: "I've seen the noble concubine." ”
"Okay, get up, it's really rare for you to come today, hurry up and sit down, now only Concubine Hua is not here, I heard that Concubine Hua fainted last night, this Concubine Hua's body has always been weak, and now I am afraid that I will have to recuperate for a few days." Guo Nianyun said to the concubines with deep meaning.
Ruxuan is the emperor's virtuous concubine in the harem, as soon as she heard Guo Nianyun say this, she said: "What the noble concubine said is indeed the truth, I also heard from Xiao Xiazi in my palace last night, it seems that the emperor must have accompanied Concubine Hua all night last night." ”
"This morning I heard the little dezi in my palace talk about this, the emperor accompanied Concubine Hua in the ice hall last night, such a grand favor to ask who has ever had the sisters here?" Du Nishang was full of vinegar and said without wind and waves.
There are many women in the harem, as long as everyone gets together, of course, the most talked about is the emperor, on the surface, everyone is a good sister, but in private, no one can see that the emperor favors other people, but at the moment they all know each other.
As soon as Du Nisheng's words came out, she tacitly agreed with Guo Nianyun, Ji Hanyan was very calm on the surface, but he also gritted his teeth with hatred for Yue'er in his heart.
"This emperor is really, there are so many sisters in the harem, but they only look at Concubine Hua differently, which is really chilling." Ruxuan said with a smile.
"What Concubine Xian Niangniang said is very true, the emperor has not been to my palace for a long time, Du Nishang said with a smile. Ruxuan heard Du Nishang say this, and on the surface she agreed very much, but in her heart she was very disgusted with Du Nishang.
Among these new concubines, Du Nishang is definitely not a good type, but she is still complaining like this in front of her at the moment, who doesn't know that the emperor summoned her in the Zichen Palace a few days ago, if you really want to say that she is wronged, the other concubines are more wronged than her Du Nishang.
"Du Zhaoyi is young and beautiful, and she is deeply liked by the emperor, how can she feel cold, if Du Zhaoyi is not good for the emperor's favor, then how can the other sisters pass the loneliness of this deep palace." Ruxuan said to Du Nishang with a smile.
For a while, Du Nishang didn't know what to say. But Xu Yingxue sat there and didn't speak, it seems that she is indeed a virtuous woman, but in this harem, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too virtuous.
Guo Nianyun glanced at Ji Hanyan, and saw that her face was indifferent, as if she was an outsider, but Cui Jingyao and Wei Linglong had been drinking tea, and occasionally chatted privately.
The two of them had smiles on their faces all the time, and it seemed that they didn't care very much about the fact that the emperor went to the Hanbing Palace to watch Yue'er all night last night.
"Don't talk about these things anymore, the weather is good today, why don't you go to the imperial garden with the sisters, maybe you can meet the emperor." Guo Nianyun looked at everything in front of him, and then opened his mouth to propose.
"This is a very good idea, these days, I haven't been to the imperial garden, I heard that the garden is open." Ruxuan said with a smile.
When the concubines heard this, they were very happy, a group of concubines in the harem walked towards the imperial garden, the weather in May was really comfortable, neither cold nor hot, a breeze blew by, indescribably fresh and comfortable.
For a time, the imperial garden is also very lively, and the clothes of the concubines are colorful, it can really be described as a grand scene, looking at the beauties in front of them, I only feel that people are more beautiful than flowers.
The emperor in the Hanyuan Hall felt indescribably tired after reading the folds for a while, so he asked Gonggong Chen to make tea again, and sat quietly on the dragon chair at the moment.
Gonggong Chen looked at the emperor like this, and was very worried, the emperor accompanied Yue'er in the ice palace last night, and went to the morning court early, and he must be sleepy at this time.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to the Zichen Palace to rest for a while, I'm afraid that your body will not be able to bear it if you are so tired, the slave is brave, please take care of your body." Chen Hongzhi said in fear.
"Well, I'm too sleepy." After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the Hanyuan Hall and walked towards the Zichen Palace, for the emperor, this was the first time since he succeeded to the throne to go to the Zichen Hall to rest during the day.
Along the way, the emperor suddenly had a whim and said to Gonggong Chen: "Accompany me to the imperial garden for a walk." The emperor said as he walked ahead.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will accompany you to the Imperial Garden, the flowers in this garden were still a little unblooming when the emperor came up last time, but now they have bloomed, this look is really beautiful." Gonggong Chen said with a smile.
The emperor, who had been walking with his head down, stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him, and sure enough, it was a hundred flowers blooming, which looked exceptionally comfortable, and the emperor's mood also improved for a while.
Suddenly, the crowd not far away attracted the emperor's attention, and those women shuttled through the imperial garden, which really added a lot of color to this imperial garden, and the emperor looked at those women for a while.
"Your Majesty, you see, the concubine Niangniang has brought all the concubines to enjoy the flowers in this imperial garden." Gonggong Chen said cautiously, for fear of angering the emperor.
"Yes, I saw it, it's really beautiful from a distance, it's really more beautiful than flowers." The emperor looked at the beauties not far away and said.
At this time, Guo Nianyun turned around and saw the emperor who was accompanied by Gonggong Chen and also came to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden not far away, so he walked in the direction of the emperor with the concubines.
"Chen Hongzhi, accompany me to the Zichen Palace." The emperor instructed Gonggong Chen, and when he heard that the emperor had suddenly changed his mind, Gonggong Chen accompanied the emperor in the direction of Zichen Palace.
As soon as the concubines on Guo Nianyun's side heard that the concubine said that the emperor was also here, they were all full of energy, and when they looked from afar, they only saw the emperor's back.
"Guifei Niangniang, why did you say the emperor left?" Du Nishang asked puzzled. Although Ji Hanyan next to him didn't speak, even at this moment, he knew that the emperor must be worried about other things.
"That's it, why doesn't the emperor just look at us, just leave." Wei Linglong said with a smile, Ruxuan on the side heard Wei Linglong say this, she was not angry at all, she only felt indescribably funny.
"Which palace is this sister in? How can we speculate about the emperor's intentions, he is the current Son of Heaven, of course, everything is up to him, sister or don't be sorry. After Ruxuan finished speaking, she glanced back at Wei Linglong.
The woman in front of her looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with big eyes and a shallow smile, and her pink skin made her look as cute as a snow doll.
"My name is Wei Linglong, I belong to Hehuan Palace, Sister Xian, doesn't the emperor want to see us?" Wei Linglong said with a smile, and she also looked at Ruxuan in front of her.
As the emperor's virtuous concubine, Ruxuan is naturally outstanding, and her eyes are full of indescribable charm and style, Wei Linglong feels that the virtuous concubine in front of her is really too beautiful.
She couldn't help but speak: "Sister Xianfei, you are so beautiful, if only Linglong were as beautiful as you." Hearing Wei Linglong praise herself for being beautiful, Ruxuan's heart was beautiful, and she hadn't heard such words for a long time.
"Sister Linglong is innocent and very cute, you can go to my palace more in the future, a beauty like Sister Linglong is as cute as an elf, presumably he will see the emperor in the future, and it must be unforgettable." Ruxuan said with a smile.
Before lunch, the concubines in the imperial garden returned to their respective palaces, but Guo Nianyun couldn't say how sad he was when he thought of it.
It seems that the queen mother must dissuade the emperor from leaving the palace, and the emperor must be angry with her because of this matter, but as the head of the concubines in the harem, she also has a lot of helplessness.
The emperor often went to Xu Yingxue's Chengxiang Hall at the beginning, but after going for a while, he didn't go again, which shows that although Xu Jieyu is dignified and virtuous, it is not enough to serve the emperor with this alone.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor went to pamper Ji Hanyan in the Zilan Palace, this Ji Hanyan is a beauty, but he can also let the emperor meet in the imperial garden in the cold weather, it seems that there is no less effort behind the scenes.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't go anymore after going to her once, and Cui Jingyao was chongrong, and the emperor also went to her palace once and never went again.
The only thing that made the emperor favored the most was Du Nishang, the emperor went to the Penglai Palace where she lived twice, and also summoned her to the Zichen Palace once, it seems that only this Du Nishang can compete with Yue'er.
Only Du Nishang can share the emperor's favor for Yue'er, but Guo Nianyun can't express his worries every time he thinks that Du Nishang is always open-mouthed.
Serving by the emperor's side, what to say and what not to say, it seems that this Du Nishang has no score in his heart at all, and it seems that he can only mention it in the future.
"Lu Luo, let's pass the meal." In the Qingning Palace, Guo Nianyun said to Lu Luo, the palace maid who served him. This Lu Luo has been by Guo Nianyun's side since he got married, and he is not only Guo Nianyun's loyal servant, but also her confidant.
"Yes, Guifei Niangniang, Lu Luo will instruct the prince to pass the food for you."
