Full of wine and food, the most easily sleepy, Shu Jin wanted to try whether the bed in the Ning Palace slept comfortably, and the chief eunuch Zhang Shoufa came in to report: "Niangniang, Li Guiren has come to ask for peace." ”

So I had to ask the nanny to take the yawning Tianshen to the inner room, and go to the flower hall to meet Li Guiren.

"The concubine asks for the mother." Li Guiren gave a salute, as if he was still living in the side hall of Chengqian Palace.

Shu Jin smiled and beckoned her to sit down for tea, "I've just settled down, so it's not good to rest."

Li Guiren is wearing a ninety percent new willow yellow spring warbler flag dress today, which is particularly fresh and fresh, and his forehead is covered with a moon-white pearl-inlaid forehead, but it is plain and weak.

The forehead that was smashed by the queen still left a slight scar in the end, but adding more fat powder is enough to cover it, but Li Guiren doesn't like heavy makeup, and would rather wipe his forehead.

Li Guiren took a sip of jasmine and said slowly: "The left and right concubines are fine." On the way here, I happened to meet the emperor. ”

"Oh?" Just arrived in the garden, Yongzheng drilled into the harem?

The corners of Li Guiren's mouth curled and said, "It's Concubine Dun's morning sickness." ”

Shu Jin smiled, yes, Li Guiren's Lanzao Zhai and Concubine Dun's Fuchun Hall are both west of the Qingyan Hall in Kyushu.

"It's inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable when you come from a tiring journey." What's more, this little rice cake has always been delicate and frail.

Li Guiren chuckled and said, "Niangniang doesn't think she's competing for favor." ”

Shu Jin said: "It doesn't matter whether you compete for favor or not. "—is it in her way? Nope! Whatever!

Li Guiren bowed his head slightly, "Yes, the left and right concubines can't sleep." - and it didn't hinder her.

After that, Li Guiren said quietly: "It's just that Concubine Dun is in a high position, pregnant, and so favored, I'm afraid that some people will see it in their eyes, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it." ”

Shu Jin raised his eyebrows, is this talking about the queen? Or is it a concubine?

It's said that the concubine is getting worse and worse, I thought it was a person who could be on par with the little rice cake, but I didn't think it was getting worse and worse. Not to mention that the position was suppressed by Concubine Dun, even the favor was not as good, and even Li Guiren and Su agreed recently, but it was almost the same as Guo Changzai.

"She was able to enter the palace because of the Queen Mother, and she didn't keep her duty well, but she had many incidents, no wonder the emperor was more and more displeased with her." - If it weren't for the thinness of Yongzheng's heirs, I am afraid that I would have ended up in the situation of Concubine Xuan back then.

The corners of Li Guiren's mouth pouted with a hint of ridicule, "This concubine is arrogant." "——Whenever she meets her on weekdays, she will not be given this status as a concubine.

Shu Jin pinched a piece of hibiscus cake and ate it, "She has such a background, how can she not be proud?" But there's nothing in the way of us, just stay away. ”

Li Guiren said quietly: "Actually, who has ever hindered the concubine? The nobles of Qi have vacated the concubine position, and the emperor still calls her a concubine. Hmph, I think she tried her best before, pit this and hurt that, but it was just a waste of effort! ”

The previous real-name poisoning show of Qi Guiren was not missing the figure of the concubine. But the emperor neither asked nor reprimanded, and let this matter pass, which was clearly an account in his heart.

Li Guiren suddenly said in a low voice: "The position of the concubine is not as good as others, and even the grace is less and less than before. The concubine is worried...... She's not going to stop there. ”

Shu Jin smiled: "What else can I do?" There is an empty concubine, but the emperor just won't give it to her! Even if she uses her strength, she should use it on the emperor. "-The concubines of the harem, there is no one to hinder her.

Li Guiren was a little hesitant, and also felt reasonable, "Anyway, Niangniang must be careful." ”

Shu Jin knew that Li Guiren had good intentions, so he smiled and bowed his head, and said: "By the way, I have just arrived in the garden now, is it still going well in Lanzaozhai?" Is the diet still to taste? ”

Li Guiren sighed: "In the end, it can't be compared with when I lived in the Niangniang Palace." On this side of the garden, there are only a few serious palaces with dining rooms. ”

Yes, Lanzao Zhai is not a big place, and it is obviously impossible to set up a kitchen on its own.

Li Guiren said busily: "However, the emperor has few concubines, and in the big dining room in the west, Sister Mao and Guo Changzai are adding me, and the three of them share it, and they can still serve it." ”

Qingxi Book House is also to the west. However, in these palace rooms in the east, only Concubine Xi, Concubine Jin and her three people lived, and in addition to the two deviations in Concubine Xi's palace, the large dining room on the east side was equivalent to the use of Concubine Jin.

"That's good."

Talking and laughing with Li Guiren, he saw the eunuch Zhang Shoufa coming in quickly to report: "Niangniang, news has just come from the west, and the emperor has pointed out Chun Haoxuan to Su Gong. ”

Shu Jin was stunned for a moment, didn't Su promise to live in the side hall of the Fuchun Palace...... Oh, this was kicked out by Concubine Dun.

Shu Jin covered his lips and smiled.

Li Guiren also covered his lips and said: "Don't blame Concubine Dun for being petty, Na Su's promise is indeed annoying." The concubine heard that whenever the emperor went to visit Concubine Dun, she always had to go up and scratch her head. ”

Shu Jin asked: "Eh, by the way, where is this Spring Haoxuan?" "—The name is elegant.

Zhang Shoufa bowed down and said, "Next to Shende Hall." ”

Next to the concubine, that's the palace to the east of them......

"Now the east dining room is going to serve two concubines." It's not much, but I'm afraid it's going to be a little dirty. Su promised to come from a humble background, but she had a little bit of grace, and the concubine was noble, but her grace was not as good as Su's promise.

This concubine is so arrogant, even the fourth concubine looks down on her, not to mention the lowest position agreed.

Shu Jin smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm going to have a good show." ”

In the early morning of the next day, the concubines rushed to Kaiyun early.

Facing the rising sun, the golden and blue glazed tiles of the Kaiyun Hall of the moon are dazzling at the end, hundreds of peonies are also planted in front of the palace, there are ancient pines and green, rockery and flowing water, the end is luxurious and rich and not elegant and charming. It's just that the peony blooming season has long passed, and there are only a few peony petals scattered sporadically, which is a pity.

This main hall is built with nanmu as the material, and when you enter the hall, it is as gorgeous as paving gold and jade, which is better than the Zhongcui Palace in the Forbidden City.

The queen wore a special auspicious dress today, but she did not have an auspicious crown, and she still wore a string of green peonies.

Shu Jin immediately complained in his heart: His head is full of green!

"Say hello to the queen!" The concubines brushed and saluted.

The queen swept over everyone, but her gaze was slightly fixed on the slender figure among them, "Isn't Concubine Dun unwell, why did you come to say hello today?" ”

That's right, the rice cakes are here today!

The little rice cake neither shows its nostalgia nor the slightest fortune, but it is still that graceful figure, and even the complexion is not half haggard, and the little face is white and red, delicate as before, which is really enviable.

Concubine Dunjiao smiled: "Thank you for the queen's care, the concubine actually doesn't have much morning sickness, and she suddenly felt unwell after a tiring trip yesterday." ”

Hearing this, the queen showed a dignified smile at the right time: "It can be seen how well-behaved and sensible the child in your womb is." ”

After that, the queen said lightly: "Okay, don't stand, sit down." ”

The concubines were seated on both sides of the table.
