Volume 5 White Blade Chapter 6 Killing Chickens and Collecting Eggs
Originally, everyone thought that these new little masters who had entered the palace would share some of their favors. [Full text reading. But this is not the case, for Chunxi, Xuan Ye cherishes it even more. Even if Chunxi is pregnant now and can't sleep, she always accompanies her to dinner every day and coaxes her to sleep before returning to Qianqing Palace.
At dusk that day, just after having dinner with Chunxi, Xuan Ye pulled Chunxi to play chess again.
The two of them sat on the couch and chatted while playing chess.
"The third brother has been coming to the palace every day for half a month, accompanying her, I'm afraid that the sisters will have to eat it." Chun Xi looked at Xuan Ye with a smile on her face.
Xuan Ye looked at her, and suddenly stretched out his head and imprinted a kiss on her lips: "When did you become so concerned about what they thought in their hearts." What, don't like me here? ”
"How can it, Chun'er naturally likes the company of the third brother." Chun Xi already liked his sudden indecency.
"Since I like it, then enjoy it, and accompany you every day, but it's much better than accompanying them." Xuan Ye pursed his lips and recalled the kiss just now: "Talking to you to relieve boredom, playing chess and drawing is what I like." ”
When Chunxi heard this, he never mentioned it again, and the two of them played chess happily, ignoring the gossip outside.
In the shaking light hall of Changchun Palace, he looked at himself in the bronze mirror quietly, and was a little distracted. After a long time, she asked Xin'er who married into the palace with her: "Which little lord did the emperor announce today?" ”
"No, now I'm in Yikun Palace, playing chess with Concubine Yi." Xin'er replied truthfully.
Jing Hao stood up, walked to the courtyard, and looked in the direction of Yikun Palace, which was tightly separated by a West Second Long Street. Changchun Palace and Yikun Palace are the closest, but they have never seen Xuan Ye come here. Jing Hao couldn't help but feel a little sad, and Xin'er said worriedly: "Little master, now that Concubine Yi is as favored as ever, where is our half-point chance." ”
"It's a good thing she's favored." Jing Hao sighed: "If we were someone else, we would have no chance." ”
"Why is the little lord so generous-hearted?" Xin'er was incomprehensible: "When I entered the palace, Lord Suo Etu told me that I must find a way to get the emperor's attention and favor." If there is any difficulty, go to Yikun Palace to find that Yifei, she will definitely help us. But now, it is her concubine Yi who is blocking the way of the little master. ”
"It's not that I'm wide-hearted." Jing Hao smiled sadly: "But I have to be relieved." Since Concubine Yi promised her uncle, she will definitely help us. Today's situation may just be an inopportune time. Let's be patient, if we are anxious, it will outweigh the losses and annoy Concubine Yi, how can we survive in this huge Forbidden City? ”
Xin'er thought about it carefully and felt that what Jing Hao said was not unreasonable. While the two were talking, they saw that the door of the dormitory opposite also opened, and Yan Wan came out wearing only a single dress and a thin cloak. Seeing Jing Hao standing in the courtyard, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greeted: "Jing noble person is auspicious." ”
Jing Hao saw Yan Wan approaching, smiled slightly, pulled her to sit at the round table in the middle of the courtyard, and asked her: "Since Jing Hao entered the palace, although she has lived in this Changchun Palace with her sister, she has not often met with her sister. It seems that my sister often goes to Yikun Palace and Yongshou Palace to walk around? ”
Yan Wan looked at her appearance, and also guessed her purpose at this time, and smiled: "I do have a good relationship with the two mothers, and the residence is also close, so I should move around more." ”
When Jing Hao heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked her: "When I entered the palace, my uncle also mentioned to me the ladies in the palace, especially to Concubine Yi. It's just that my uncle is a foreign minister after all, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the inner court of the palace. For Yifei Niangniang, most of them are also known from other people's mouths. Today, since I know that my sister has a good relationship with Concubine Yi, I wonder if my sister is willing to tell me about Concubine Yi's mother? ”
"Why are you so interested in the mother's affairs?" Yan Wan asked knowingly.
Jing Hao lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly: "It has been half a month since I entered the palace, but I heard that in the past half a month, the emperor has appeared in Yikun Palace every day." I just want to know what kind of person Concubine Yi is, and why she is so popular with the emperor. ”
Yan Wan pretended to be stunned, then shook her head and said, "The emperor's thoughts, let's not speculate, if you ask me about other things, Yan Wan may be able to say a thing or two." But the emperor's intentions for Concubine Yi, I really don't know so well. When I entered the palace, Concubine Yi had been favored for three years. I don't know how much of it happened, but I know that since she entered the palace, she has been favored by the emperor and has not changed for ten years. ”
Seeing that Yan Wan didn't want to talk to herself in detail, Jing Hao didn't want to make it difficult for others. Think about it carefully, she and Queen Renxiao are still sisters, if someone asks her why the emperor was so good to her sister in the first place, she can't say. When her sister entered the palace, she was not yet born, and she was only six years old when her sister died.
I thought I couldn't find out anything from Yan Wan's mouth, but I didn't expect Yan Wan to say again: "However, I have heard one thing, when Concubine Yi and her mother entered the palace, Empress Renxiao died for only half a year, and the emperor was still sad about the death of Empress Renxiao, and often couldn't eat anything." Concubine Yi made chic snacks every day and asked the people around the emperor to send them, and they were not the same every day. Today, the emperor still likes to eat every food she makes, and it has long been a habit to use some every day. ”
Seeing Yan Wan say this, Jing Hao smiled and said: "It seems that Concubine Yi is really interested in the emperor, no wonder the emperor goes to Yikun Palace every day to accompany her to dinner." ”
"Not only that, Concubine Yi also likes to play chess and paint, but the emperor has collected famous paintings from all over the world and sent them to her palace for evaluation." Yan Wan continued: "As for what the nobles want to know, what kind of person is Niangniang, it is better to take a look with your own eyes, what others say is their own opinions, it is better to see it with your own eyes and experience it with your heart." ”
Yan Wan and Jing Hao told some interesting things in the palace, and Jing Hao was very happy to hear it, and pulled her to sit in the courtyard and chat happily for a long time. Perhaps, this is the day when Jing Hao has talked the most and is the happiest since he entered the palace. Sometimes, listening to stories is also a pleasure.
However, the Chengqian Palace is far from having such a happy scene as the Changchun Palace. In Tong Ruofei's bedroom, I saw her sitting crookedly on the couch, eating a small piece of pineapple, staring at the crescent moon in the sky outside the window.
Next to him, Tong Ruohua's face was full of resentment, his hands kept stirring his handkerchief, and his mouth kept complaining: "Sister, since I entered the palace, I haven't even seen the emperor's face, he only accompanies one concubine every day, and the other women in the harem are decorations." In that case, why even order the draft. ”
Tong Ruofei said nonchalantly: "The draft was proposed by the palace and agreed by the empress dowager, and the emperor just listened to our opinions." You are not the only one in this palace who can't see the emperor, what are you shouting about. If there is nothing to do in the harem, and you can't even see the palace, why are you in a hurry? As for Concubine Yi, why do you mind, if you have the ability, you will take the emperor away from her, can you? ”
"But now I can't even see the emperor's face, how can I take the emperor's heart away from her." Tong Ruohua thought that since she entered the palace, not only has she not seen the emperor's face, but even this much-loved Concubine Yi, she has never seen it.
Tong Ruofei glanced at her and said with a smile: "What, you are a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, you are in the prime of life, can you still compete with her?" Are you so anxious? Don't you think about it if you don't see each other? Ama sent you to the palace, but she didn't want you to change places and continue to be your second miss of the Tong family. ”
Tong Ruohua didn't expect to hear such words from her sister's mouth, and a trace of surprise flashed in her heart, she originally thought that after entering the palace, she would have to be windy and rainy, but now she realized that it was just her own wishful thinking, and she thought too beautifully. Indeed, in Tong Mansion, she is used to living a young lady's life, and Ama Eniang's favor has already made her develop such a pampered temperament as she is now. She couldn't understand the hardships of being in the harem. When entering the palace, Ama also reminded him that he should listen to his sister's teachings in the future and not cause trouble. But after getting along during this time, I only feel that this sister, who has hardly met a few times, is completely different from what I imagined.
It seems that she does not see herself as her own sister. and never arranged for her to get acquainted with everyone in the harem, nor did he arrange for her to sleep. The most talked about is to let her think for herself.
One is a high-ranking imperial concubine, and the other is just a small nobleman. In addition to the age gap and the status gap between them, they have never even been to the same place as they thought in their hearts. Tong Ruohua is not a fool, so she can naturally figure out that her sister doesn't like herself. But she didn't know why, what was the reason why she didn't like her?
After a few more days, Xuan Ye finally turned over the signs of the new little masters who had entered the palace, but the attendant was only a daughter who was always there, the daughter of the Wupinlang, and her name was Yiyi.
As soon as the news of Wan Liuhai Yi sleeping in the palace came out, these little masters who had newly entered the palace were a little angry.
"It's just an ugly girl who doesn't look as good as others, why did the emperor announce that she was bed." Tong Ruohua couldn't help complaining, but she didn't notice Tong Ruofei standing behind her.
"It's this ugly girl who is not as good as a person who got the opportunity." Tong Ruofei looked at Tong Ruohua expressionlessly, sighed in his heart, and said, "It makes sense for you to complain about her?" ”
Tong Ruohua turned around when she heard the voice, pouted and said: "If others can say it, but it's her, why don't you make people ......?"
"If you were someone else, you wouldn't be angry?" Tong Ruofei snorted lightly: "I'm afraid it won't." Even if the person who sleeps today is the main palace, you will have some resentment in your heart. In this harem, if you keep complaining like this, you will only be the one who suffers. You don't look down on others, and you think that her appearance and family background are inferior to you, but how do you know that in this harem, you never rely on more than just appearance and family background, everything depends on yourself. ”
"But I ......" Tong Ruohua wanted to say something, but saw Tong Ruofei's helpless face.
Tong Ruofei walked past her and left a sentence: "If you can't change this temperament, I'm afraid you will never have a chance to get what you want." ”
