Chapter 18 The Storm and the Storm
CHAPTER XVIII
Palazzo Yangse.
The well-decorated dormitory, the precious fragrant cloud sandalwood is used as the beam, and the gold-painted black olive wood is finely carved into a set of tables, chairs and desks.
Looking sideways, dozens of candles are lit on a lantern stand made of multicolored glass, and a curtain of huge white pearls is strung on one side.
Behind the curtain, there is a six-foot agarwood bed, on which is hung a blue shark yarn ice silk curtain, on which a large piece of prosperous begonias are embroidered with gold and silver threads, and Concubine Zhong, who is pretending to sleep on the bed, also has a lot of charm.
Today's events made her laugh heartily.
After holding back for so many years, I finally want to collapse Concubine Yun's cheap embryo.
I don't know if it's God's favor, originally she just arranged a surprise news in the downtown area, so as to cause riots in the capital and the people to worry, and then the father who was the imperial history took the lead in participating in a book, which should be enough for Concubine Yun to drink a pot.
Unexpectedly, there was a plague in the afternoon, which confirmed the rumors of Concubine Yun's demon and fox.
Hmph, this kind of luck has only happened now, and it really makes me wait.
Thinking of the news from the imperial study today, Concubine Zhong couldn't help but laugh wildly in her heart, and she couldn't wait to see the miserable end of the Baguio Palace now.
Even if she was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was protected by the Prime Minister's treacherous and cunning things, she didn't want to get through this safely!
At that time, it may affect the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is a once-in-a-lifetime good time for their Zhong family.
Concubine Zhong's personal palace maid Yulian approached and asked with a smile: "Niangniang has a big happy event today, and the slave and maid seem to be a little younger when they look at you!" ”
When Concubine Zhong heard this, her beautiful eyes opened slightly, and her slender fingers caressed her face: "Oh? Is it? This palace touches this face, and it is also more tender than before! ”
Yulian continued to flatter: "Now that Concubine Yun has an accident, in the future, except for the queen, you will be the only one in the palace." ”
"When the time comes, you will continue to be favored, both the emperor's mercy and our slaves will serve carefully, and you can't help but be younger and more beautiful, comparable to Chang'e in the Moon Palace......"
Hearing this, Concubine Zhong smiled even more unscrupulously: "Around the palace, you are the best at talking and pleasing the palace." ”
"Go, put on the emerald incense that the emperor rewarded two days ago, and the palace will sleep soundly tonight!"
Yulian bent her knees and bent over: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
After a while, the curling incense mist is swirling, like a beauty's graceful waist, light and soft. And the sweet but not greasy taste in the fragrance is even more comfortable in people's hearts.
Seeing that Concubine Zhong closed her eyes and breathed steadily.
Yulian quietly walked out of the dormitory and instructed the palace maid who was keeping vigil outside the door not to be lazy, and missed the summons of the mother.
When the two little palace maids heard this, they responded obediently: "Yes, aunt!" ”
As the night deepened, Yulian turned out of the West Corner Gate and walked to a place where no one was.
I saw her tear off the disguise on her face, revealing a delicate appearance.
……
The next day, the heavens were not beautiful, and it rained heavily early in the morning, wetting the palace and dripping with green leaves and crimson flowers.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs looked at it and muttered one after another.
"You say, is this God's anger and condemnation of the Baguio Palace?"
"Tut-tut...... Not really! People are watching the sky, and if they don't know, they can't do anything unless they do—"
"Yes...... The one in Baguio Palace, since he entered the palace, has not done anything harmful, and he is also very good to us minions......"
"You don't understand this, it's human! It's always going to be loaded! Don't look at the appearance of a good person on the surface, maybe you have a bad stomach in your back! ”
"It's reasonable, otherwise, according to the emperor's favor for her in the past, can this matter not be settled in time? I've heard that since yesterday, the emperor hasn't stepped into the Baguio Palace......"
"I see, nine times out of ten, the one in Baguio Palace is the demon concubine, if she gives birth to a misfortune, it will be a big disaster!"
……
Yesterday's incident, the palace avoided Baguio Palace.
And the Baguio Palace has also changed from the bustle and glory on weekdays to the silence and desertion now, and no one cares about it for a while.
In the Qifeng Palace, Congsi is quietly treating the queen's acupuncture.
After a period of conditioning, the queen's face has become more and more ruddy recently, and even her back pain has been reduced by a few points.
"Chu He, if your craft is in the people, I'm afraid you will have to earn a lot of silver." The queen squinted comfortably.
Congsi, who disguised himself as Chu He: "The queen mother praised it falsely, this is just a family heirloom, and it can't be put on the stage." ”
The queen disagreed: "This is a bad statement, if the people of the world can have good craftsmanship and good technology, why worry about not being able to eat and make money?" ”
From the silk stunned: "With good craftsmanship, no one may be able to look down on it." If a natural or man-made disaster occurs, the family will lose their livelihood business. ”
The queen frowned: "That's true...... Disasters are hard to prevent, let alone ...... hearts."
"Since Concubine Yun's accident yesterday, Baguio Palace has been closed to visitors. The palace still doesn't know the situation, and I don't know if Concubine Yun's body can withstand it. ”
Piercing a long needle from the silk: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, Concubine Yun Niangniang is gentle and kind, and she can't do anything that harms living beings. ”
When the queen heard this, she slowly spoke: "I hope so...... This deep palace is a place to eat people. ”
"When you finish acupuncture, go to Baguio Palace with the main palace. Concubine Yun is also your master, so it is necessary to go back and take a look. ”
Congsi said respectfully: "Yes, Queen Mother!" ”
In the queen's eyes, Concubine Yun is just a deep palace woman, with a superb good look, she has been favored, but all along, it has always been her duty, and the etiquette is comprehensive.
What's more, because she gave birth to a royal child before, she was weak and sick, and she lost her favor, and the whole harem didn't like to walk around her Qifeng Palace.
Only Concubine Yun ignored the rumors and took good care of her.
At the beginning, the queen was just trying to win over Concubine Yun so that she could gain a firm foothold in the harem.
But after a long time, the true feelings are sincere, and they are no longer so interested.
Now that Concubine Yun is in trouble, she can't turn a blind eye or ignore it.
is also a person in the deep palace and the bitter sea, and he understands the sorrow of the other party.
……
After two hours, we will end today's acupuncture from silk.
The queen then instructed the palace maids to leave for Baguio Palace.
At this time, although the heavy rain stopped, but the fire sun was not exposed, along the way, the rain accumulated, and the road ahead was difficult.
The strong eunuchs carried the sedan chair, wasted some hours, and finally arrived at the Baguio Palace.
I saw that the gate of the palace in front of me was closed, and dozens of royal forest soldiers stood at the door, holding swords and halberds, surrounding the entire Baguio Palace.
The queen got off the sedan chair and was about to enter the palace gate, but she didn't want to be stopped by the royal guards at the door.
"Queen Mother, the Queen Mother ordered that from today onwards, outsiders will not be allowed to enter the Baguio Palace, and please move back to the palace, don't let the evil spirit hurt you."
When the queen heard this, her face turned blue with anger: "Bold, this palace is the queen, the lord of the six palaces, how dare you stop this palace!?" ”
The captain of the Imperial Forest Army led by him kowtowed and asked for guilt: "The Queen Mother decrees, the lower officials have to obey, and I hope that the mother will forgive the sin!" ”
The queen had no choice but to turn around and go back to the palace.
happened to meet someone from the Queen Mother's palace on the way, saying that she was inviting the queen to go to Fukang Palace, and the Queen Mother had something to order.
Helplessly, the sedan chair under the seat changed direction again and headed towards Fukang Palace.
