Chapter 45: Invitation to Blossom Viewing
Unconsciously, it was September, the weather gradually cooled down, there were a lot of chrysanthemums in the palace, the cool weather, coupled with the unique scenery of autumn, the concubines who went out gradually increased, and often they could meet the concubines in two by two in the imperial garden and walked around in some places with good scenery.
Li Ling didn't expect that Concubine Xian would bring the eldest princess to Mo Shang Palace to invite Li Ling out to enjoy the flowers.
Now Concubine De has been pregnant for more than two months, and the fetal position has become much better under the conditioning of the imperial doctor, taking advantage of the good weather, she took the eldest princess out for a walk, but the eldest princess thought that she hadn't seen Xi Zhaoyuan for a long time, so she went to Mo Shang Palace to invite Li Ling to go out for a walk together.
"Hey, Bengong's energy is not good now, Di'er, this kid is too naughty." Concubine De played with the eldest princess for a while, and then kicked the atmosphere, and the palace people hurriedly moved Concubine De into the pavilion on the side.
"The eldest princess is at the age of being active, if she sits still all day, you have to worry." Pear Ling looked at the Qiling who was still playing in the garden and thought it was very cute.
"For children, there is always a heart that can't be finished." Concubine De smiled and shook her head.
"Mothers, it's always like this." This is also a blessing that many people in the palace can't envy.
"By the way, why didn't the emperor call the palace power to you? When the Japanese palace recommended you to the emperor, the emperor praised you with satisfaction. "Concubine Xian ate some snacks to replenish her strength.
Li Ling was shocked, Concubine De had recommended to the emperor that she should temporarily replace the palace power? Is this true or false, if it is true, why didn't Dong Qilin tell himself, if it was false, why did Concubine De mention it, did she want to win herself over?
"The emperor's sister will know about it, but my sister still thanks my sister for her help." As she spoke, she got up and gave Concubine De a half-salute.
"Why do you and I have to say this, if you don't have this ability, this palace will not recommend you." Concubine De's tone was very kind, it was true that she had some friendship with Liling, but it didn't come to this point.
"Niangniang's baby has been more than two months?" Li Ling changed the topic, she is not very familiar with Concubine De, she only has some friendship, but this friendship is not as good as that with Zhao Zhaorong. Otherwise, some time ago, when Concubine De took care of the harem, how could the use of the pear palace be neglected all the time, even though Concubine De has nothing to do with this, but there must be a little bit of a sense of pushing the boat along the river, but because Qiling likes her, she also likes Qiling's child, so she often returns to Lixiang Palace to walk around.
"yes, it's been almost three months." As she spoke, Concubine De touched her belly, and her face became a little softer.
"After three months, the mother will sit firmly in this baby." Now Wang Cairen's fetus is more than three months old, and Concubine De's is almost the same, only Jiang Jieyu's fetus is only a little more than two months old, so compared to this, Jiang Jieyu's fetus is still a little dangerous, but the harem has been very calm recently, and nothing major has happened, and Jiang Jieyu's fetus will not be a big problem.
"Then borrow my sister's auspicious words." Concubine De smiled a little meaninglessly.
Li Ling looked at Concubine De, and remembered Qian Jiaoli and Wen Xin'er, at that time Wen and Qian fought very fiercely, and now Concubine Yao De is still a Zhaoyuan, although there is the only child of the emperor, but she does not fight, only live her own life every day, do not participate in the battle between the palace Chinese and Qian, and wait for Wen and Qian to fall, An Wanling, who gave birth to the only heir of the emperor, has become the most noble person in this harem except for the queen mother, and now she is pregnant, compared to Wen and Qian, Yao Defei An Wanling is not unintelligent, It is precisely because of this that Pear Ling is a little jealous of her.
"Concubine Xi, you can play with Di'er." Princess Qiling and the palace maid and eunuch couldn't have enough fun, so they came to the pavilion and pulled the pear girl into the garden to play with her.
"Di'er, don't mess with your concubine." Concubine De said angrily.
"It's okay, my sister also likes to play with Di'er." As she spoke, she was led into the garden by Qiling.
Concubine De looked at the two who were having fun in the garden, and didn't know what they were thinking for a while.
When Li Ling returned to her palace, it was already quite late, and she had been playing with Qiling for so long, and she felt tired and panicked, and after dinner, she was a little sleepy.
"Auntie, what's going on in the palace lately?" Liling asked about the affairs of the palace, and the right was to relieve the boredom.
"Meng Chongyi, who has been very favored since she entered the palace, has been promoted to Xiuyuan," Nan Fei glanced at Liling when she said this, and saw that Liling had no other looks, so she continued: "Xinmei is now Jieyu; There is also a Xue Imperial Girl, who has been promoted to Baolin, and the others are gone. ”
"Got it, you go down."
Nan Fei looked at all the thoughts of Li Ling, and went out, and ordered the palace people not to go in and disturb.
Li Ling thought of Meng Xiuyuan, this Meng Xiuyuan is the most favored among this batch of new concubines who have entered the palace, and her rank has risen quickly, but it seems to be a little worse than last year's, but there are other reasons for her fast rise in rank, and this Meng Xiuyuan, I'm afraid it is really very popular.
There has always been a provision in the harem of the country that if there is still a vacancy in the position of the nine concubines, the position of the nine concubines cannot be repeated and sealed, and now there is still one Chongyi left in the nine concubines, as long as no one sits on the position of the Chongyi, then Meng Xiuyuan can only be a Xiuyuan for the time being, and Meng Xiuyuan is so favored, I believe that there are no longer a few people in the harem who are hot.
For example, Dai Xiurong, who just got a piece of the palace power, entered the palace half a year earlier than Meng Xiuyuan, but now the two are at the same level, and the appearance is only more than Xiuyuan in the name, which is called how willing to be the favored Dai Xiurong before.
Sure enough, soon, Li Ling heard that Dai Xiurong found Meng Xiuyuan.
It is said that when Dai Xiurong checked the accounts in the palace, he found that Meng Xiuyuan asked for a lot of things in the Inner Palace Bureau in August, and the harem had a clear provision that if the concubine exceeded her position in a certain month, then she needed to make up for it in the next month.
Dai Xiurong took the account book and found Meng Xiuyuan, but Meng Xiuyuan did not admit that he asked for more than his share in the Inner Palace Bureau, and the two could still say a few words of greeting at first, but then they disagreed, and the two quarreled, and they were out of control, since Dai Xiurong found Meng Xiuyuan, he brought enough evidence, and Meng Xiuyuan could not deny it, Dai Xiurong did not listen to Meng Xiuyuan's defense, and directly took someone to take a lot of good things in Meng Xiuyuan's house in addition to the imperial gift.
On this day, the harem was very lively, everyone was talking about it, this time Meng Xiuyuan was made a big shame by Dai Xiurong, and everyone in the harem was watching how Meng Chongyi would fight back.
The calm harem began to be broken.
