Chapter 82: Visits to the Palaces (2)
Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then thought about the final ending of Concubine Tong, but he was not surprised. After all, if Concubine Tong is really favored, she is only nineteen years old, how can she be like Concubine Hui and promote a Wu Ya clan to consolidate her favor!
"Thank you for the reminder. Yunxi blessed Concubine Rong with a grateful face.
Concubine Rong replied lightly, not saying anything, but looking at Yunxi's gaze became softer.
Next, Yunxi followed Concubine Rong to Yongshou Palace. Compared with Concubine Tong's Jingren Palace, the luxury of Yongshou Palace can be said to be no inferior, but compared to Concubine Tong's preferences, this Niu Colu's preferences are more direct.
No, without saying a word, the Niu Colu clan directly gave the reward and invited them out.
Standing in front of the gate of Yongshou Palace, Yunxi looked at Concubine Rong with a confused expression, "This concubine is really special." ”
"Compared with Concubine Tong, Concubine Niu Colu seems to be difficult to get along with, but in fact it is easier to deal with. Concubine Rong finished speaking with a smile on her face, and said: "You will know in the future, as long as you don't mess with Concubine Niu Colu, she won't come to deal with you." ”
"Yes. Yunxi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but in his heart he had a basic understanding of these high-ranking concubines in the palace.
It can be said that those who occupy high positions are not favored, and even if they are favored, it is still superficial, as for why? As long as you look at those who are favored are low-level, Yunxi can roughly guess the intention of the saints today.
The way of balance is sometimes not only used in the court, but also in the harem, after all, the former harem seems to be unrelated, in fact, the two are closely connected.
Thinking of this, Yunxi suddenly felt that she might need to reorganize her thoughts, she died too early in the last life, even if her soul was stranded in the world, but she seemed to pay attention to the people related to her and the things she was interested in, inside and outside the palace, she had listened to many things a little, and the details were not clear.
When she came back to pay attention to it much later, the people she once thought familiar had all become characters in the book, and how much could she know in just a few lines.
After returning to Yanxi Palace, Concubine Rong looked at Yunxi who was following behind her with a well-behaved face, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She didn't care if Yunxi was pointed out to this Yanxi Palace because of her own arrangement or because someone else did it on purpose, she just hoped that she was not the one who caused trouble.
If it was in the past, Concubine Rong would definitely want to use Yunxi's beauty to attract the emperor and think about how to regain favor, but now, she only hopes that her third elder brother can grow up healthy and healthy, and the rest, whether it is position or favor, depends on the emperor's wishes, but she doesn't want to toss anymore.
Of course, so far, Yunxi's performance still satisfies her, so before parting, Concubine Rong specially reminded: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager don't like to disturb, so the concubines in the palace usually go to ask for peace on the fifteenth day of the new year, and then you will go with you." The implication is that in addition to these two, there are also two major concubines in the palace who need to ask for peace, and the rest of the palaces are just concubines, so there is no need for her to lead a special trip.
"Yes. Yunxi has no objection to this, and she herself neither wants to form a gang nor plan a posterior, so the relationship with the concubine can be passable.
Back in the east side hall, Yun Xi sat in front of the courtyard with a tea cup, looking at the sky in the distance through the high wall, and the corners of his mouth inexplicably raised a smile.
"Nobleman, the situation in the palace, the old slave has almost inquired......" Mama Xu looked at Yunxi with a quiet face, and talked about the results of her inquiry.
Yunxi listened to her analyze the situation in the palace, but her eyes were still looking into the distance, and there was even a trace of longing in her eyes.
After all, in her opinion, entering the palace never appeared in her plans, but things were often unexpected. Like now, she wants to be free, but she entered the palace, how could she think that the draft would have nothing to do with her!
Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, but Mama Xu on the side took her momentary change directly into her eyes. Following her gaze, looking at the sky not far away, although she didn't see anything, she could understand what kind of purpose was contained in her gaze.
Too many concubines in the palace have shown this kind of gaze, but once they enter the palace, no matter what they thought before, they can't think about it again in the future.
"Gege, the women in this palace must first learn to accept their fate. Mama Xu said softly.
Yunxi nodded, but didn't speak, just took his gaze back. Seeing this, Mama Xu's eyes flashed slightly, the corners of her mouth hooked up slightly, and she didn't mention it anymore.
When the two spoke again, they talked about the other concubines in the palace, and now in addition to the Wu Ya clan supported by Concubine Tong and the Wei clan supported by Concubine Hui, the rest are the relatively young concubines of the Yi Concubine Guo Luo Luo clan. The Wei family and the Wu Ya family alone shared more than half of the emperor's favor, and the remaining number was large, but the chance of winning favor was very small, which has to be said to be an irony.
Fortunately, Yunxi has never thought about competing for favor, with the experience of the previous life, Yunxi really has no expectations for the love between men and women, the love of husband and wife, the only thing she wants to do is nothing more than to make up for the regrets of the previous life, and by the way, revenge in the previous life.
Some things may disappear with the repeated washing of time, but hatred does not, on the contrary, hatred will slowly be carved into the soul over time.
The soul is immortal, and the hatred is immortal.
"No, as a woman in this palace, never accept your fate, once you accept your fate, it is equivalent to giving up all possibilities. Although I don't have much ambition, I will never allow others to step on my head all the time and control my life. The moment Yunxi put down the teacup, he got up and walked to the house.
In this life, she is no longer the cowardly and angry bag in the previous life, but now she knows how to resist, how to fight, and even how to destroy.
As Yunxi thought, when the newcomer entered the palace, he was not summoned so quickly, but it was one thing to know it, and it was another thing to be anxious to be favored. No, as Yunxi thought, those who are in a hurry to rise will suffer.
When Yunxi went to greet Concubine Rong, he heard Concubine Li talk about some jealous jokes that had gone viral in the palace in the past few days. In fact, it is not ridiculous that newcomers are in a hurry to be favored, what is really ridiculous is that they want to be favored but don't know how to fight.
Concubine Rong glanced at Yunxi, who was unmoved, and felt a little closer in her heart: "Relax, this newcomer enters the palace, even if the emperor does not summon luck now, he will summon luck in the future." ”
She was reassuring Yunxi and telling her not to worry too much.
Yunxi responded, but he didn't care much about it, and after a few words of laughter, he left. When the mother and son get together, even if she has no eyes, she will not be like Concubine Li Shu who is there to obstruct the eyes of others.
The third elder brother Yinzhi was only three or four years old at this time, white and chubby, and he looked very cute. In the past few days when Yunxi entered the palace, he has seen it twice, but he hasn't moved forward once. It's not that she doesn't like children, it's that she doesn't want others to take advantage of it.
The only few elder brothers in this harem are all treasures, and doing well can indeed win the favor of Concubine Rong, but once something happens, even if it is not your fault, you may not be able to get rid of it.
Instead of doing more useless work, it is better to distance yourself from the beginning.
Just thinking about it, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Concubine Li Shu also walked out of the main hall, and Yunxi immediately quickened his pace and distanced himself.
For this Concubine Li Shu, Yunxi really doesn't like it, she has a broken mouth and loves to take advantage of it, and the most unbearable thing for Yunxi is that she always likes to treat herself as a little cabbage, and she has the worst expression in the world, so she doesn't know what to say.
Yunxi in the previous life was pessimistic all her life only to find that the so-called pessimism and sorrow were just excuses and comforts for herself when she was incompetent, and in this life, she didn't want to repeat the tragedy of the previous life, so she has been optimistic about everything. No matter what happens, try your best to find a way to solve it, instead of being pessimistic and passively accepting everything.
When two people with different ideas come together, they don't even have the same topic, what kind of affection can they cultivate.
"Find a quiet place, let's go out and sit. Yunxi whispered, Mama Xu looked at Concubine Li's figure, nodded knowingly: "The old slave knows that there is a place that is very clean, and few people go on weekdays, so it is better for the nobles to go there and sit." ”
"It's fine. Yunxi replied and walked out quickly.
Concubine Li Shu, who stepped out after Yunxi, looked at the back of Yunxi's rapid departure, and before she opened her mouth, she saw that the person had already walked away, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger for a while.
"Why are you running so fast! There are ghosts chasing you!" Concubine Li wanted to chase, but Yunxi was walking too fast, she couldn't catch up at all, and she was angry for a while, and it was inevitable that she would say something unpleasant.
Yunxi didn't care what Concubine Li thought, and said those ugly words again. In this life, she doesn't want to wronged herself anymore, unless the other party can make her have to wronged herself, she will not give the other party face again and again. A person like Concubine Li, if she hadn't just entered the palace, she would definitely not choose to avoid it, but bluntly refused to approach the other party.
The quiet place in Mama Xu's mouth is not far from Yanxi Palace, between the two palaces, the location is very remote, few people move around, most of the people who are generally active here are low-status rough envoys, like Yunxi who are looking for purity, or the first, so it is difficult to attract attention at this time.
The pavilion here is not big, but the place is very wide, the clouds and tides move forward, the skirt is flying, as if to ride the wind, so that the people watching this scene not far away can't help but stop, and even have the urge to take two steps forward and reach out to keep people.
This person is none other than Prince Gong Chang Ning, who happened to be exposed.
