Harem Chapter 8 Competing for favor

You can't blame Anqin for this.

Not long after she finished drinking the medicine, she led the butterfly to thank her, but she didn't want to be harassed by Delu at the door.

Delu was not happy to be transferred to Qingfang Palace, and because An Qin had a lot of festivals with him before, he was even more resentful. At the moment, he can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, raised his eyebrows, raised his orchid finger and said, "Yo, isn't this the little master An?" I haven't seen you come to Concubine Yu for a few days in Qingfang Palace......"

He dragged out his last note, and then poked his head out to look at the sky: "Where did the northwest wind blow you over?" ”

An Qin frowned, and when he saw that Delu's face was not good, he understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the door of this Qingfang Hall today. But she still smiled softly, and the wind and cold were not good, so she looked forward to a little more weak beauty: "My father-in-law said that I laughed, I was too sick a few days ago to get out of bed, and today I barely got better, so I hurriedly came to make amends to Concubine Yu?" Please also ask your father-in-law to pass it on. ”

She reached out and pressed the butterfly's arm, motioning for her to give a reward and do a favor. It's a pity that the butterfly only looked at her in confusion, she had never done such a thing, and she didn't know what it meant.

Delu sneered, and before An Qin could pay for the reward out of his own pocket, he already sneered: "It's a pity that Niangniang is asleep now, I'm afraid I can't be disturbed, if Little Master An has a heart, wait here over there!" ”

When the butterfly heard this, her eyes immediately widened. She just wanted to be angry, but she realized that Delu was Concubine Yu's mother, and she was a head taller than her according to her position. Besides, they all arrived at the door of someone else's house, and if they shouted loudly here, they were afraid of losing An Qin's face, so they endured it, and chanted in their mouths: "Father-in-law Delu, our little master has not recovered from his illness, and now he is standing under this wind and snow, and his body is afraid that he can't stand it!" ”

"Can't stand it? An Chang is precious in this body. Delu rolled his eyes, looked at her from head to toe, and then covered his nose and said in disgust: "The smell of this drunken Huanlou has not yet dissipated!" What if you become a little master? It's just a constant one, and who knows what dirty tricks were used to get it. ”

The butterfly was so angry that she was about to step forward, but was stopped by An Qin. When she looked back, she saw Anqin shaking her head, but her eyes did not fall on her, but on Delu.

She looked away for a moment, the coldness in her eyes, and a smile still hung on the corner of her mouth. As if she didn't feel offended, Ying Ying took two steps back, and when she slammed the pestle, she responded softly: "My father-in-law is right, I must come to ask Concubine Yu for peace, and I have to show sincerity." ”

Delu raised his eyebrows triumphantly, seeing Anqin shivering in the cold wind. She came in a hurry, and she didn't even hold one of them, but she was already trembling and shaky for a moment.

The maidservant next to her Man'er was a little unbearable when she saw this, but when she saw that the others were silent, and Delu's level far surpassed her, she didn't say anything. It wasn't until he went to the back that An Qin's face turned pale, and it seemed that he was going to faint in the next second, so he couldn't help it, so he asked, "Why don't you let the maid go in and spread the word?" Sister Li'er was instructed by her mother to send medicine to An Changzai, if An Changzai became more ill, how could she explain it to her mother? It can't be that the medicine given by the mother doesn't work, right? ”

Delu glanced at her: "No wonder I came to Qingfang Hall for half a year, and I was only a third-class cleaning maid, and I didn't have any eyesight." If she faints, then she is weak, what is the matter with Guan Niangniang? ”

Man'er was choked, and when she was about to say something more, she saw a figure from a distance and hurriedly alerted her. Na Delu immediately slipped inside, for fear that he would not be able to get a reward if he was one step late, so he was angry when he looked at it.

As soon as Lin Rongfu stepped into the Qingfang Palace, he saw a woman standing at the door: a slender shadow, wearing only a blue gardenia pattern jacket, folding a flower branch and pinning her hair in a bun, maybe she stood for a while, and the snow had covered her ankles.

The subordinates next to him knelt on the ground and were about to shout 'See the emperor', but Lin Rong had already signaled them to silence. Thinking that Concubine Yu should take a break at this hour, she planned to go in to rest for a while, drink a cup of tea and warm her hands and leave, for fear that they would wake her up too loudly. But I didn't want to enter the house yet, but I saw the figure of the woman standing swaying, and with the maid next to her, "Little master", she was about to plant her head in the snow.

Lin Rong quickly hugged her, and when he saw that her face was haggard and trembling all the time, he couldn't help frowning. Bird Butterfly first saluted Lin Rong, and then couldn't help but be angry for his master: "If it is Concubine Yu's instructions, it will be enough, Niangniang has always been gentle, and she is partial to Na Delu to oppress people, so she has to stand outside the little master, and she refuses to pass it on!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Rong's eyes fell on the plaque with the words 'Qingfang Palace' written on it. He didn't want to care, and even raised his hand to push her out, but then he felt that it was inappropriate, so he snorted coldly, and couldn't tell what it meant, so he just stopped his waist and hugged An Qin and left.

——

When An Qin woke up from the warmth, he first saw the tea and white gauze tent in his room, and wanted to drink water, but his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton wool, and he couldn't say a word.

She struggled to stand up, tilted her head, and saw Lin Rong sitting on the desk drinking tea. Seeing her get up, she only raised her eyebrows, but her movements did not stop: "The illness is not well yet, what are you going to do in the main hall of Qingfang?" ”

An Qin caught a glimpse of the temptation in Lin Ei's eyes, and laughed in his heart, obviously this person was suspicious from the moment he spoiled himself, and while promoting her to be constant, observing her reaction, why would the person in the upper position be willing to do such a troublesome thing?

An Qin didn't know what he was suspicious of, maybe it was because he was suspicious of the drugging of Xu Guan's woman at the beginning, or it was a recent rumor in the palace that the Queen Mother was going to hold a draft for him, and she appeared too coincidentally, so she wondered if she was the Queen Mother's person.

An Qin's thoughts turned, but she still replied in a dumb voice: "The slave maid has been here for more than a few days, and she should go to ask Concubine Yu for peace, the maid is merciful, and the sick person who thought of the slave and maid sent medicinal materials...... Ahem, the slave is grateful in her heart. ”

"Since I have made you always, I don't have to call myself a slave."

"Although this is the case, but ......" An Qin coughed twice, and immediately looked away after looking at Lin Ei, his expression could not hide his grievances, but he forced a smile and said, "Yes...... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. ”

Perhaps it was the sound of her cough that made Lin Yi a little impatient, and he poured tea over, finally stood up and paced to the bed, and fed her a drink.

When she finished drinking, Lin Ei stretched out her hand and hooked her chin, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, but she also had to admit that the woman in front of her was delicate and pitiful, which made people feel pity involuntarily.

He checked her identity cleanly, and there was no handwriting from the Queen Mother, but the day An Qin fell into the water inspired his pity, Lin Rong was already suspicious, and couldn't help but wonder if it was a coincidence.

"Your Majesty......" The person who was pinched by him looked at him with bright eyes, and said softly: "The concubine is a little painful......"

Lin Yi subconsciously let go, and saw a red mark appear on her delicate skin, he wiped it vigorously for a while, and the red mark did not decrease but increased. An Qin seemed to sense that he was in a bad mood, stretched out his hand and tentatively pulled the corner of his clothes, and called softly: "Your Majesty regrets it?" ”

"Regrets?" Lin Yi didn't know why, until she saw her pouting and changed her name to a slave maid while talking, that she understood what she was referring to, and felt quite funny: "I am the Son of Heaven, and it is difficult to chase after a horse." ”

"No matter how difficult a horse to chase, if it makes Your Majesty unhappy, it is not a good horse."

Lin Rong was amused by this sentence and laughed, and the haze between her eyebrows and eyes also dispersed a little, this time she twisted the corners of the quilt for her sincerely: "The wind and cold are not good and faint in the snow, the body is weak and strong, why don't you lie down quickly?" ”

An Qin lay down obediently, and then covered his face with a quilt, only revealing a pair of pitiful eyes, staring at him without blinking: "Is Your Majesty leaving......?"

Her voice was like the gentle cry of a nightingale, soft and fragile: "Your Majesty can accompany your concubine for a while?" ”

……

When Yunxi presented the plum blossom white cheese cake that Concubine Shu loved to eat, the latter's expression was still gloomy, and he reached out and grabbed a piece, and the armor of the tail finger crossed the back of Yunxi's hand, outlining a long line of blood.

Yunxi endured the pain and didn't know it, and heard Concubine Shu ask irritably: "It's late at night, whose brand did the emperor turn over today?" ”

There was a eunuch next to him who replied respectfully: "If you go back to Niangniang, the one who is favored today is An Chang, who lives in the Qingfang Palace." ”

The front foot only made a big deal to find her trouble in the Shucui Palace, why did the back foot recommend An Changzai again?

"Oh, what a sisterly drama." Concubine Shu crushed the pastry in her hand, threw it to the side, raised her hand slightly, and someone came to carefully wipe the residue between her fingers for her.

"Concubine Xingyu is also not happy." Yunxi said at the right time: "I heard that the emperor originally came to Qingfang Hall to see Concubine Yu, but he happened to meet An Chang, who was punished and stood in the snow, so he changed his direction, I'm afraid Concubine Yu is still angry!" ”

"Punished? When did Qingfang Hall also punish people? This is a strange thing. Concubine Shu's mood improved slightly, she lifted her eyes and glanced at Yunxi, and saw that the latter was still kneeling on the ground with a plate and not moving, so she couldn't help but sigh: "Your cousin is really too unreasonable, this time it really made the palace lose a lot of face!" It seems that the palace can't tolerate newcomers, so Baba went to settle accounts with Concubine Yu! ”

"Niangniang's lesson is that it's all Ah Sheng's fault." Yunxi was keenly aware of the improvement in Concubine Shugui's mood, and knew that the punishment of Ah Sheng should also be canceled, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's just that Ah Sheng was just a Huanyi palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau before, and she doesn't know how to do things, why don't you let the slave and maid teach her well, and then let her appear in front of the mother, right?" ”

Concubine Shu nodded reluctantly, and stroked the steps on her bun with her hand. It was given to her by the emperor before, made of agate jade, decorated with southern pearls, the most luxurious: "It's okay, this palace is too lazy to see her now, you go down." ”

When she left, Concubine Shu thought about today's events, sneered, and felt disgusted when she heard An Chang in these three words: "Aren't you sick?" If you are sick, you can still hook the emperor to stay there, it's really a foxy thing! ”

Li'er pinched Concubine Shu's shoulders beside her and comforted: "Don't worry, Niangniang, it's just a flash in the pan, where can it compare to Niangniang's great favor?" ”

"Pampered?" Concubine Shu took the hand mirror placed on the desk, took a look at her appearance, and saw that fine lines had appeared at the corners of her eyes, so she was so angry that she directly dropped the hand mirror on the ground: "It's only been a long time, and there are fine lines in this palace!" If the emperor sees this palace...... Li'er, go to Tai Hospital and call Imperial Doctor Li to come over to the palace! ”

Li'er should be, hurriedly retreated, leaving Concubine Shu to stare at the broken hand mirror on the ground. Then she lifted her foot and stomped on it.

The servant girl who was waiting next to her glanced at the piercing crunch, and saw that the face of the concubine was also cut into several pieces in the shattered mirror, and the shards were glowing with cold light, making her gloomy look like a poisonous snake spitting letters.
