Chapter 81: The Death of the Moon (I)
I heard that the emperor stayed in the Nishang Pavilion last night, and he made an edict early this morning, and Jin Fengwei promised to be there for Wei. Concubine Yu lost her temper in Bixiu Palace, and the people who served her did not dare to come out outside.
Listening to the rain brought a bowl of plum soup, he persuaded bitterly: "Niangniang, you are pregnant, why are you angry, it is not good to alarm the fetus, just drink a bowl of plum soup to dissipate your anger." ”
The jade concubine's nose moved slightly, and she said angrily: "With her, a dancing girl, she dares to compete for favor with the palace?" It's really overwhelming! Bengong has to teach her a good lesson, so that she knows how powerful Bengong is! ”
Listening to Yu Yu smiled and said: "Niangniang, on a hot day, don't be angry, this plum soup is extremely sour according to your instructions, you can drink it and taste it." ”
Yu Concubine shook her hand impatiently, and the fine porcelain tea bowl in Tingyu's hand was knocked to the ground, and rolled far away on the brocade carpet, just at the feet of Yu Lin, who walked in from the outside.
Concubine Yu hurriedly stood up, curtsied, and said in a panic: "The concubine didn't know that the emperor had arrived, and she missed the distance, and she hoped that the emperor would forgive her sins." ”
Yu Lin waved his hand and said lightly: "Get up, it's hot, just move less liver fire, so as not to scream and have a stomachache." ”
The jade concubine coquettishly leaned into Yu Lin's arms, took Yu Lin's hand, and said: "Probably because the concubine is pregnant with the fetus, she always feels irritable, and when the emperor comes, the concubine feels at ease." Your Majesty, if you touch it, the concubine's belly is a little bigger. ”
Yu Lin showed a smile on his face, carefully touched the belly of the jade concubine with his hand, and said happily: "Qin Tianjian told me that this child in your belly is the reincarnation of a qilin, which has brought Ganlin to Dayin, and will bring good luck in the future. I have thought about it, and when you give birth safely, I will make you a concubine. ”
Concubine Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank her. Yu Lin accompanied her to have lunch and went back to Chengming Palace.
Bixiu Palace was full of joy, and listened to the rain leaning down in the ear of the jade concubine and whispered: "That Qin Tianjian accepted our benefits, and really did things for us, this idea of Niangniang is really good." ”
The jade concubine was triumphant, and flicked the rose red silk sprinkled with gold and phoenix pattern through the sleeve long dress, and the peony flowers embroidered with gold thread were brilliant on the gauze satin skirt, and the light gold moire middle clothes reflected each other, which looked very luxurious.
Tingyu continued: "The time has come for the child in Niangniang's womb to come, maybe it is really a noble son, if you inherit the unification in the future, Niangniang, your mother will be able to honor the world by virtue of her son." ”
While the master and servant were talking, Father-in-law An of the Internal Affairs Office brought a few little eunuchs carrying ice buckets to deliver the daily ration of ice.
Gonggong An's face was full of flattering smiles and said: "Jade Concubine Niangniang, these two buckets are your share of ice, and the slave is afraid that Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon fetus, so he added another bucket to Niangniang, hoping that Niangniang will be cool and comfortable." ”
The jade concubine glanced at it, pointed to the other two buckets of ice, and said, "Let's keep those two buckets together." ”
Father-in-law An was embarrassed: "This... Those two barrels are the share of the Yinyue Pavilion, and the minions don't dare..."
Yu Concubine slapped the table and said angrily: "What kind of thing is she, and she deserves ice?" From today on, all the ice in the Yinyue Pavilion will be sent to me, and if the emperor is to blame, I will go and receive the punishment. ”
Gonggong An hunched his waist and said cautiously: "The emperor cherishes Niangniang, naturally there is nothing to discourage, it is the slave who is dizzy and blindfolded, and the slave obeys the instructions of the mother." With that, he respectfully withdrew.
Concubine Yu said contentedly: "Listen to the rain and give me all this ice." ”
The heat outside is getting stronger, and a few little girls such as Green Marks and Lotus Red put down the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei, and then pulled down the golden tent hook on the heavy gauze curtain, and the snow-colored gauze curtain that came down through the beam fell down heavily, like a thousand piles of new snow, cutting off the glow of the sunshine outside. The wind wheels in Bixiu Palace are rolling, and the cool breeze is very cool.
Not far away, in the Yinyue Pavilion, it was a different scene. At noon, the glazed red tiles on the pavilion were hot, and the heat penetrated in, and the heat in the pavilion was unbearable.
Xiaoluo and Zhu'er were fanning both sides, and An Lingyue was still sweating.
"Zhu'er, you go to the Internal Affairs Office to see why today's ice hasn't been delivered yet." An Lingyue said to Zhu Er, and Zhu Er walked out quickly.
She looked around, and then quietly asked Xiaoluo, "Where is Lingzhi now?" ”
Xiaoluo said in a low voice: "The slave maid saw her resting in the back hall." ”
An Lingyue hurriedly said: "Help me loosen my clothes, suffocate me." ”
Xiaoluo hurriedly helped her untie her coat, only to see that her abdomen was wrapped with a thick silk belt, which was opened layer by layer, and her lower abdomen, which originally looked flat, magically bulged, and it seemed that she had been pregnant for three or four months. An Lingyue brushed her stomach with infinite love and let out a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Luo couldn't bear to say: "Little master, why are you so troubled, you see that Yu Concubine is pregnant with a dragon fetus and wants to tell the world, but you have to find ways to hide it." ”
An Lingyue said in a helpless tone: "The queen will not let me give birth to a child, so this is the only way to keep the child, and when the child is formed in another month or two, I will go and tell the emperor, by then the wood is already in the boat, and the queen will have no way." ”
Xiao Luo wept and said: "It's just that the little master is suffering." ”
An Lingyue's eyebrows were quite worried, like smoke on the lake, but her tone was still faint: "I have been an unpopular since I was a child, the identity of the concubine, my aunt's mother's family is just a rouge seller, and when I arrived in this palace, I was also unknown, and then I finally received some favor, and now I am even more fortunate to have this child, even if I try my best, I have to give birth to him, so it's nothing to suffer a little now, one day I will definitely rely on my mother and son to rise." ”
After talking for a while, An Lingyue still asked Xiaoluo to help her tie her belly with a silk belt, and repeatedly told her not to show a trace of horse's feet in front of people.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and Zhu Er walked in from the outside, standing by the door, hanging her head and not daring to speak.
Xiaoluo pretended to be annoyed and said: "You girl, I told you to go to the Internal Affairs Office to urge the ice bucket, why did it take so long to come back, and I thought you died outside." ”
Zhu Er rubbed the belt of her clothes and said aggrievedly: "It was because I went to urge the ice bucket that I suffered a lot of grievances." Father-in-law An of the Internal Affairs Office said that from today onwards, the ice of our Yinyue Pavilion will be cut. ”
When Xiao Luo heard this, he couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "Who ordered this to be cut?" Why did the good ones be cut? ”
Zhu Er snorted and said, "It's the jade concubine, she said... She said that our Yinyue Pavilion is not worthy of using ice, and the ice of the entire Bixiu Palace will be used by her in the future, so... ”
Xiao Luo has a fiery temper, and when he landed, he ran to Bixiu Palace with a white face and slammed the door.
Hearing the rain come out and open the door, the two of them first quarreled, and then they fought. The little snail was tall and strong, and soon gained the upper hand, listening to the poncho and sitting on the ground disheveled, embarrassed.
The jade concubine was furious, called out a few strong grandmothers, and dragged Xiao Luo into the miscellaneous room of Bixiu Palace, and several people took turns to fight, slapping their mouths, pumping their faces, clamping sticks, and pricking their fingers, and all kinds of torture tortured Xiao Luo all over his body.
After being tortured for a few hours, the two little eunuchs dragged the dying snail and threw it at the door of the Yinyue Pavilion and walked away.
An Lingyue and Zhu'er cried and put her on the bed, and immediately went to the Tai Hospital to ask the Tai Doctor to come for treatment, and the Tai Doctor just looked at it when he came, shook his head, and said that the injury was serious and there was no way to recover.
An Lingyue leaned over the bed, holding Xiao Luo's fleshy hands tightly, Xiao Luo opened his eyes weakly, his breath was weak, and said: "Little master, Xiao Luo is blessed, I can't serve you anymore, I'll see you in the next life." As he spoke, he closed his eyes, gasped, and two lines of tears rolled down.
An Lingyue also burst into tears and whimpered: "You have followed me for a few years, and you have not enjoyed any blessings, but now you have lost your life for me, you can rest assured, even if I fight hard, I will avenge you." ”
Xiao Luo barely squeezed out a smile on his face: "Little master, take care of yourself, the slave is gone." His eyes slowly closed, and the last wisp of breath drifted away in the wind.
Zhu Er cried loudly, An Lingyue gritted her teeth, her heart was like a knife, and her face was pale. Lingzhi pretended to wipe a few handfuls of tears, and persuaded: "Don't be too sad, the little snail is just a girl, and she will assign a better one to serve the little master without the queen." ”
An Lingyue pulled Lingzhi and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I bother you to go to Kunyi Palace for a trip, tell the queen mother about today's events, and ask the queen mother to do justice for me." ”
Lingzhi pretended to be embarrassed: "Little master, now that the jade concubine is pregnant with a dragon fetus, even the queen has to let her score three points, not to mention, the mother has been unhappy in recent days, let's not bother her anymore." ”
An Lingyue heard her prevaricate like this, so she silently put away her tears, took out a lot of herself, and ordered her subordinates to bury Xiaoluo well.
While everyone was busy reining in Xiaoluo, she quietly walked out of the Yinyue Pavilion and came to the main hall of Bixiu Palace, where the jade concubine lived.
