Chapter 55: Thin Affection (II)

More than 20 days have passed, Yu Lin did not step into the Jingxi Palace half a step, the little princess was born, there should be many people to congratulate the palace, but Yu Lin issued an order, claiming that Ying Concubine was weak after giving birth to a daughter, and needed to recuperate, and the idle people should not be disturbed.

Besides, there have already been rumors all over the harem, Concubine Ying is pampered and arrogant, her words are indifferent, she contradicts the emperor, and is snubbed by the emperor, and even her newborn daughter is not allowed to raise her, so that it is too late for others to hide, and who will rush Su to visit. Only Shun Concubine, Yi Concubine and others, An Promise and others came to Jingxi Palace after dusk from time to time to sit and relax.

Concubine Shun once comforted her with warmth and pity in her eyes: "Concubine Xian has passed away, this is an indisputable fact, if you want to find out the truth, you must also think about it in the long run, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood." Now that the emperor has been angered, even the little princess was taken to the queen, so the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Since hugging the little princess the day after giving birth, Lu Yuan has never seen the child again, and she misses it all the time, but she has no regrets about her words that day, she smiled sadly and said slowly: "Even if it is such an ending, but for the innocence of Sister Xiao, I don't regret it, I'm just sad, Your Majesty, he is so affectionate." ”

Concubine Shun sighed and said compassionately: "The emperor still favors you after all." ”

Lu Yuan shook her head and said softly: "My sister is wrong, the emperor is a favor to me, not love." ”

Concubine Shun looked at her and sighed long: "As long as you have a pet, it is enough for you to be comfortable in the harem, my sister has been in the palace for three years, can't you still see through these people's warmth and impermanence in the world?" Think about it, I'll go first. ”

Lu Yuan was silent, watching Concubine Shun leave, took out a belly pocket that was carefully sewn before production from the basket on the plum blossom table at the head of the bed, and rubbed it gently, her heart was full of infinite tenderness.

Biluo stepped forward to serve, knowing that she was missing the little princess again, and said softly: "Tomorrow is the full moon ceremony of the little princess, and the slave maid will send these small clothes you made to Kunyi Palace for you, which is also a piece of your mother's heart." ”

Lu Yuan sat up and said softly, "I want to send it myself." As he spoke, he got up and got out of bed.

Biluo hurriedly stopped her and said, "Master, you can't help it, you are still in confinement, you can't go out, if you catch the wind, you will fall ill." ”

Lu Yuan insisted: "It's about to be a month, don't take precautions." The emperor only ordered me to recuperate, and did not order me not to leave the palace. ”

Bi Luo couldn't be dissuaded, so he had to put the cloak on Lu Yuan, and the master and servant took their things and hurriedly walked to Kunyi Palace.

Just walked to Zhuhua Gate, and happened to meet the jade nobles and Li nobles, and now they are the jade concubines and Li concubines, and they asked the queen to say goodbye and came out of Kunyi Palace.

Concubine Li hesitated for a moment, and was about to curtsy, but was pulled by Concubine Yu, she looked Lu Yuan up and down arrogantly, and said to Concubine Li with an arrogant face: "We are all the same people, why should we salute her." She has annoyed the emperor now, and the emperor doesn't even let her raise the child anymore, so naturally she is not as good as us. ”

Concubine Li's face was a little unbearable, and she pulled the sleeve of the concubine, trying to stop her from going on, but the concubine said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid if you're afraid of her, you used to be a slave and maid waiting for her, and now you're on an equal footing with her, what is there to scruple about." Look at her arrogant appearance before, she didn't take us seriously at all, and now that she is down, she should also let her know that she knows how powerful we are. ”

Lu Yuan didn't want to pay attention to her, so she went straight to Zhuhua Gate. The corners of Yu Concubine's eyes flew, she was annoyed and angry, and she was about to step forward to pull Lu Yuan, but Concubine Li hurriedly stopped her and persuaded her with good words: "This is in front of the palace gate of the queen's mother, more things are better than less things, let's go." Just persuaded the jade concubine, the jade concubine still looked indignant, and left with Li Concubine angrily.

Lu Yuan thought about her daughter and walked quickly to the door of the main hall of Kunyi Palace, not wanting the door of the palace to be closed tightly. Biluo stepped forward and knocked for a long time, only to have a maid with eyes open half of the door, Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "I'm Concubine Ying, come to visit the little princess, please let the girl go in and report it." ”

The maidservant gave them an indifferent look, and threw out only two words: "Wait!" Then he slammed the door shut.

I didn't see anyone open the door for a long time, the weather was still cold, the cold air made her tremble, Biluo had to knock on the door again, and finally, the door creaked open, and it was Yuqiu who came out.

Lu Yuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly grabbed Yu Qiu's hand and said, "Aunt Yu Qiu, take me in to see the little princess, I'll just take a look and leave." ”

Yu Qiu said expressionlessly: "The emperor has an order, not to allow Concubine Ying to see the little princess, I am just a subordinate, and I have to act according to orders, don't embarrass the slave." ”

Lu Yuan said in disbelief: "Impossible, I didn't commit any crimes, why don't you let me see the princess, she is my own flesh and blood." ”

Yuqiu was still indifferent, Biluo was also trying to persuade her, and Lu Yuan said: "I want to go in and see the queen, it's always okay." ”

Yu Qiu said openly: "Niangniang has already ordered, if Concubine Ying Niangniang comes, just let you go back, she will not be seen, this is also the will of the saint." ”

Lu Yuan staggered back and almost fell, Biluo reached out to help, Lu Yuan pushed her hand away and ran out. Biluo struggled to catch up and said, "Master, where are you going?" ”

Lu Yuan said with grief and indignation: "I'm going to ask the emperor why he didn't let me see my daughter." ”

When Bi Luo heard this, she was frightened, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Master, by all means, you are emotionally impulsive now, and it will be even worse if you anger the emperor!" ”

Lu Yuan was already lost at this time, and desperately wanted to go to Chengming Hall to see the emperor, but Biluo had to follow closely behind.

When he arrived at the Chengming Palace, Li Zhong was standing outside the hall, and Lu Yuanqiang said with a smile: "There is something important in the palace to see the emperor, and I also ask Gonggong Li to go in and pass it on." ”

Li Zhong looked at Biluo next to him in embarrassment, and had to say: "Niangniang, the emperor has a lot of government affairs today, and he has issued an order not to see anyone, Niangniang, please go back." ”

Lu Yuan was about to speak, and there was a burst of laughter behind him: "Gonggong Li, this palace heard that the emperor has been working hard recently, and he personally made longan yam keel soup, which is the best nourishment in winter, please go in and spread it." ”

It was Concubine Rong who spoke, she was wearing a brocade-colored embroidered bird-patterned cardigan, with a large sable wind collar on her shoulders, long eyebrows and sideburns, phoenix eyes, and a tassel behind her holding a small food box.

Concubine Rong moved lightly, her face couldn't hide her smugness, and she laughed: "Isn't this Concubine Ying?" You haven't thought about it in Jingxi Palace, what are you doing here? Oh? Do you want to see the emperor too? It's a pity that the emperor may not want to see you! ”

As he spoke, he turned to Li Zhong and said, "Gonggong Li, what are you still doing in a daze, go in and report it!" ”

Li Zhong had to call a thousand, turned around and walked into the hall, Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Please let my father-in-law report it too." ”

Concubine Rong rubbed the copper furnace in her hand and said arrogantly: "Concubine Ying, I didn't expect you to have today, let's just wait and see, whether the emperor sees you or me." ”

The time passed for a long time, and finally Li Zhong walked out of the hall quickly, Lu Yuan looked at him expectantly, Li Zhong subconsciously avoided her gaze, and said to Concubine Rong: "Concubine Rong, the emperor invites you in." ”

Concubine Rong looked victorious, Shi Shiran passed by Lu Yuan and entered the hall.

Li Zhong said apologetically: "Concubine Ying, the slave has reported, but the emperor said that he doesn't want to see you, and the slave can only act according to orders. ”

Lu Yuan's heart was like ashes for a while, so she had to nod her head and say to Biluo: "Go to Ci'an Palace." ”

Li Zhong looked at the distant backs of her master and servant, and sighed deeply.
