Chapter 59: Confinement
Looking at the woman opposite who was dressed and looked very outstanding, Concubine Tong had a good idea in her heart.
This must be Zhao Cairen, who has been in the limelight the most recently, right?
Hmph, she really has a good skin, but my father said that if a woman has an empty skin, she will not be favored for a long time, and she will be the woman who will always be by the emperor's side!
At present, Concubine Tong has been snubbed by the emperor, and all the concubines are looking at it, and seeing the occasional eyebrow flirt between Zhao Cairen and the emperor, they know that this round, Zhao Cairen has won again!
For a while, everyone's hatred and envy for Zhao Nuoqing deepened a lot.
After the banquet, I thought that the emperor would summon Concubine Tong to sleep, but I never thought about it, but the emperor said: "Concubine Tong has just arrived, and she is not familiar with the palace, and the queen and Concubine Tong are sisters, so the queen will take Concubine Tong to familiarize herself with everything in the palace." ”
When the queen heard this, she immediately said, "The concubine knows!" ”
The concubines present all laughed secretly, which clearly meant that the emperor rejected Concubine Tong.
Concubine Tong sat on the side, her eyes were red, but she didn't dare to say anything, before entering the palace, her father instructed her to be careful when she entered the palace, and remember not to play with the lady's temper.
Therefore, at this moment, she could only swallow this sullen breath, she thought, the future is long, and the emperor will always like her!
Yangrong Palace.
Zhao Nuoqing took off her head full of beads and complicated clothes and palace makeup, and at this time she seemed to have returned to the simple little talent she was before.
But seeing that she was very obedient leaning on the emperor's arms, Shen Bochen chuckled and said, "Qing'er is jealous today?" ”
Zhao Nuoqing was buried in the emperor's arms and was silent, and the emperor said: "Huh? ”
Zhao Nuoqing buried his head deeper, his ears were red and red, and he looked shy, so he heard the emperor's chuckle above his head, "You girl!" ”
I don't know if it's deliberate, the queen woke up in the morning and dusk on the second day and ordered it to be exempted, Zhao Nuoqing was happy and idle, thinking that she had just done such a thing to compete for favor yesterday, and she might not know what to encounter today.
Zhao Nuoqing ordered people to put a rattan chair under the corridor, hugged the cat in his arms, and looked at it with relish in his hand with a copy of "Folk Dissenting Miscellaneous", Jin He made a cup of green orange and date tea for her, and sat with Jin Miao to sort out the thread and embroider clothes.
At this time, Su Quan suddenly came to report, "Lin Cairen and Cheng Cairen, the two little masters, are here!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly got up and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”
Jin Miao and Jin He were also busy putting down their work to make tea for the two, and they heard Lin Cairen's hearty laughter, "It's really laughing!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing was puzzled, and looked at Lin and Cheng both laughing, so he asked, "What's so interesting?" ”
Lin Cairen and Cheng Cairen looked at each other and laughed again, pulled Zhao Nuoqing and walked into the house, "Let's talk inside!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing became even more curious.
After entering the house, Jin Miao and Jin He also brought the tea, and listened to Lin Cairen.
It turned out that on the way to find her, the two of them happened to meet Qingyan who was taking Concubine Tong to visit the harem.
That Concubine Tong didn't want to go shopping, but the queen said, "The emperor ordered the palace to take you around, and if you don't go shopping, you will resist the decree!" ”
She didn't want to bear the sin of resisting the decree, although the queen was obviously demonstrating to her, and what she wanted was not to make her feel better, after all, the queen moved out of the emperor, and she had to suppress the resentment in her heart.
However, the queen only sent a palace maid to accompany her.
The fire was already pressed in his heart, and the big sun was basking on the top of his head, and he felt even more on fire, he never thought that as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace of the concubine, he was almost hit by Han Baolin head-on, and he was worried that he had nowhere to steam his grievances, and looked at the small Baolin who was not in the stream on the other side, and Concubine Tong slapped him directly.
Han Baolin recently relied on the support of Concubine Shu, and for a while, many concubines let her score three points, and at this time, she was beaten in front of so many palace people, Han Baolin felt that he couldn't hold his face, and even cried and complained that he wanted to sue the emperor.
Because it was at the gate of the palace of the concubine, this incident alarmed the concubine, after the concubine came out, she saw that it was Concubine Tong, and she was disgusted with the new concubine, not to mention that she was still a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion who did not deal with her mother's family, so the new hatred and old hatred were gathered together, and the concubine wanted to punish Concubine Tong for kneeling at the gate of her palace for half an hour.
Everyone thought, why would the queen also look towards her sisters, right? didn't think about it, but the queen said: "Concubine Tong is guilty of confronting Concubine Shu, come here, send Concubine Tong back to think about it behind closed doors for half a month, and then come out after thinking clearly!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing was surprised and said, "Concubine Tong was confined like this?" ”
Lin Caidao: "It's not! Don't talk about you, even the concubine who doesn't deal with the queen on weekdays was stunned on the spot! ”
Cheng Cairen also said on the side: "But ah, it can also be seen from this incident that the queen estimates that the relationship with this concubine is not very good, otherwise how could she lock people up as soon as she comes?" Moreover, I looked, the smoke seemed to be deliberately leading Concubine Tong to Concubine Shu! ”
Zhao Nuoqing nodded, Cheng Cairen's words were not unreasonable, the queen would do something in order to stop Concubine Tong from sleeping.
Therefore, I thought that it was deliberate to avoid morning and dusk today!
In order to let Concubine Tong offend someone first when she didn't know much about the interpersonal relationships in the palace, Concubine Tong naturally didn't know that a little Han Baolin was followed by Concubine Shu.
In addition, walking around on a hot day, and not allowed to sit in a sedan chair, anyone will be tired and in a bad mood, not to mention Tong Concubine, who has always been pampered?
The queen's trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is really good!
Zhao Nuoqing's heart was cold again, the queen's means were so superb, and she didn't know if she could fight her!
Lin Cairen on the side suddenly realized: "It's true! This autumn equinox has arrived, the people should harvest again, I heard that this year's emperor is going to autumn patrol again, I think it is going to go for two or three months, and when Concubine Tong comes out of confinement, the emperor just left, when the emperor comes back, can you still remember this concubine? Tut-tut, the queen's method is really ruthless! ”
Everyone thinks about it, isn't it?
Lin Cairen's autumn patrol has existed since the founding emperor, and the autumn patrol, as the name suggests, is to go to the people in the autumn to inspect the people's situation to understand the people's harvest and whether there are unjust, false and wrongful cases.
This matter is an official matter, so the harem concubines have always been not allowed to go out of the palace to accompany the emperor, so as not to distract the emperor.
However, the palace is not allowed to go, it does not mean that the emperor will be pure-hearted, every time he goes out on patrol, the emperor will bring back a folk woman, even if the emperor has no intention, those officials will try their best to send the beauty to the dragon bed.
That Guan Cairen was brought back by the emperor during his autumn tour.
So, every time the emperor went out on patrol, the harem concubines were jealous and said: The emperor doesn't know what kind of lovely person he will bring back this time!
