The concubines left the Chengqian Palace one after another, and the Chengqian Palace, which was still extremely noisy, instantly became extremely quiet.

The imperial concubine pressed one hand on the armrest of the throne, while looking at the door of the main hall, her breathing was very short.

Xia Lan hurriedly changed a cup of warm ginseng tea and handed it over, and carefully persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you will hurt your body." ”

Since the death of the eighth princess last year, the imperial concubine's body has been good and bad, but every winter, it will be frequent.

The imperial concubine was so angry that she couldn't even listen to Xia Lan's words, and waved her hand over the teacup: "How can this palace not be angry?" What a concubine, a good Jingren Palace, is this the gift that my cousin promised to bring back to the palace before his southern tour? ”

When Xia Lan heard this, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked people to retreat, closed the door of the palace by the way, and then knelt at the feet of the imperial concubine and persuaded bitterly: "Niangniang is cautious, the slave knows that you are unhappy, but no matter how unhappy you are, you can't announce it like this, otherwise the emperor will know, and there will be a gap in your heart." ”

Don't say that the emperor only canonized one concubine, that is, canonized two, three, and his own mother also had to smile and finish the matter that the emperor explained to his mother, and he couldn't be half dissatisfied.

The imperial concubine only felt that her chest seemed to be out of breath, she stroked her chest, sneered and sneered, and tears came down without warning: "When my cousin welcomed the palace into the palace, he once told the palace that the palace was the queen candidate in his heart, but in the end, Niu Hulu's family sat in the back seat, and pressed the palace to death, and the palace became the laughing stock of the capital. ”

"Later, Bengong confessed, watching the belly of the harem concubines bulge one by one, Bengong also wanted to have a child of his own, but the cousin used the excuse that Bengong was not in good health, and pampered the cheap maid of Wu Ya's family, and asked Bengong to raise her son Not to mention, my cousin also helped Wu Ya's all the way to the concubine's position, and asked Bengong to watch Wu Ya's family under the nose of Bengong every day, and poke the eye sockets of Bengong."

"Now, my cousin has given the Jingren Palace, which he has begged for many years, to the woman next to him."

As she spoke, the imperial concubine laughed angrily, and the entire main hall of Chengqian Palace was filled with the laughter of the imperial concubine: "Hahaha, what the palace really wants, my cousin has never given this palace, but has given everything that the palace wants to others, how unfair my cousin is to this palace, how ridiculous." ”

Xia Lan pursed her lips, listening to the imperial concubine telling her grievances, and she was also unhappy for the imperial concubine in her heart.

But what if you are wronged? Who in this palace has not been wronged? Whose days are truly satisfying?

Fortunately, after the imperial concubine vented, she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, she wiped the tears on her face with her backhand, ordered someone to beat warm water, and washed off the thick fat powder on her face to improve her complexion, revealing a haggard and gloomy face: "Since my cousin gave Jingren Palace to Concubine Zhao to live in, then ask Xu Qing to clean it up, I hope Concubine Zhao can withstand the blessings of this Jingren Palace." ”

Xu Qing is the head of the Internal Affairs Office and the person of the imperial concubine.

Xia Lan's face turned pale, and she handed over a piece of ginseng and said, "The slave understands that Xu Qing is a smart person and knows what to do. ”

The imperial concubine raised her fingers with tortoiseshell armor and pinched the thin piece of ginseng: "Remember, you must lift Jingren Palace well, everything in it must be the best." ”

The earthy smell of ginseng permeated the mouth, and it was very difficult to swallow, but the imperial concubine stretched her brows, this harem is still in her hands.

Therefore, what she can't get, she would rather destroy it.

Although the imperial concubine holds the phoenix seal and the middle palace note, it does not mean that the Chengqian Palace is impermeable.

She smashed a tea cup in the Chengqian Palace, and the concubines who had eyeliner in the Chengqian Palace knew about it, but Xia Lan reacted quickly, and their eyeliner didn't know what the imperial concubine said specifically.

But this is enough for them to taunt the imperial concubine in their own palace.

The first to get the news was the Yonghe Palace's concubine Wu Ya, who was adjacent to the Chengqian Palace.

At that time, Concubine Zhang Jia was also talking to Concubine De in the main hall, and after hearing the news, she secretly poked and poked at Concubine De several times, and then flattered: "The imperial concubine is still such a small family, and she can't tolerate people." ”

Concubine De leaned on the pillow on the warm kang under the window, peeled a tangerine in her hand, and said lightly and seriously: "In the end, it is the imperial concubine, it is better to pay attention." ”

Concubine Zhang Jiashu smiled and nodded, but she didn't think so, if Concubine De really thought so, she wouldn't wait for her to say a word without pain, isn't she just waiting to vent her dissatisfaction through her mouth?

took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, looked at the plate of tangerines on the kang table next to Concubine De, and flattered with a smile: "Niangniang still has the emperor's heart as always, this tangerine is a tribute, the quantity is scarce, and only the lord can get some in the palace, but the number is not much, you have a lot here, it can be seen that the emperor is thinking about you." ”

What she said was particularly in line with Concubine De's wishes, and Concubine De smiled and glanced at Concubine Zhang Jiashu: "What are you talking about, it's just that Yinzuo loves to eat, and the emperor asked the Internal Affairs Office to send more, and the palace is also stained with Yinzuo's light." ”

After being given such a noble name by the emperor after the sixth elder brother was one year old, Concubine De kept shouting, for fear that others would ignore the sixth elder brother who was valued by the emperor.

Concubine Zhang Jia's eyes darkened, and she touched her stomach without a trace, and secretly sighed that her stomach was not angry, and she was not as good as Concubine De.

Back then, she and Concubine De were both palace maids, and they both served the emperor, but they didn't have Concubine De's good pregnancy, so today she is a high-ranking Concubine De, she is just a little concubine who is attached to Concubine De and begging for a life under Concubine De.

Noticing Concubine Zhang Jiashu's movements, Concubine De handed over the peeled tangerine, pinched the handkerchief and wiped the juice on her hands: "Relax, when the emperor returns to the palace and comes to Yonghe Palace, you will also show your face more and serve the emperor a few more times, and this child will come." ”

In terms of buying people's hearts, she has never been left behind, she also climbed up from slaves, so she naturally knows what they need.

Concubine Zhang Jiashu was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank Concubine De: "Thank you for raising up." ”

Concubine De asked someone to help Concubine Zhang Jiashu up, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, since you live in Yonghe Palace, you are a person from Yonghe Palace, you are good, this palace is happy to see it." ”

Concubine Zhang Jiashu covered her excited fluttering heart, and it took a while to ease up, and she was about to stuff tangerines into her mouth, but she suddenly remembered something and hesitated: "Niangniang, that Zhao Concubine ......"

In the end, it is the newcomer brought back by the emperor, if the appearance is really good, then where is the time for her to be favored?

Concubine De was not worried about this at all: "There is no need to worry. ”

In this palace, she and Concubine Zhao are both concubines from the main throne of Baoyi, so they should go closer, so as not to be bullied and ridiculed by those concubines who claim to be from Manchurian nobles.

Therefore, if she can bring Concubine Zhao to her camp, it will be even more powerful.

As for whether she is worried that one day Concubine Zhao will be on an equal footing with her, or will she be trampled on by Concubine Zhao?

That's a lot of thought.

At present, the four concubines in the high position are full, and only the concubine is still empty, and the emperor can neither ignore the rules under his own top to make an exception to Jin Zhaofei as a concubine, nor can he ignore the rules of the ancestors to skip the rank of Jin Zhaofei as a concubine.

So this account, how does Concubine De calculate and how does she feel that it is a good deal.

——————

On the 27th, the holy car passed by the waterway and was expected to arrive at the Nanyuan Wharf in the capital at about midnight.

After the guards finished reporting the news, Kangxi waved his hand and told the guards to stand back, and when he turned his head, he saw Cao Yue frowning and looking sullen.

Kangxi clenched his fists to his lips and coughed lightly: "Why are you unhappy?" Feeling sick again? ”

In the past few days, when he was on the boat, he dragged Concubine Zhao to mess around whenever he was free, and he always had to bully people with tears in his eyes, and he refused to give up after begging for mercy.

It's okay once or twice, but after a lot of times, Cao Yue is not resting well, and her mood is not getting better, and she has been angry since yesterday and refuses to call Kangxi close.

Cao Yue shook her head, her little face was full of worry: "It's not uncomfortable, the concubine is just a little flustered." ”

She knew that the danger of entering the palace on this trip was no less than that of the Longtan Tiger's Den, but she was not afraid at all, she had been a human being for two lifetimes, and she didn't believe in fighting those people.

It's just that if you are not afraid, you will not be afraid, and if you show weakness, after all, men, especially those who have become emperors, want their women to rely on themselves, so as to show the vanity and pride in their hearts.

Cao Yue didn't make it clear, Kangxi also knew what Cao Yue was flustering about, smiled, took the person into his arms, and rubbed his chin against the green silk on the top of Cao Yue's head: "Don't panic, with me by your side, you can go back to the palace with peace of mind." ”

As long as he is free these days, Kangxi likes to hold Cao Yue in his arms, smelling the sweetness of Cao Yue's body, and feeling the soft woman in his arms, Kangxi feels extremely satisfied.

This is his woman.

Cao Yue hummed obediently, rubbing Kangxi's chest like a kitten, Kangxi's heart was like being gently scratched with a feather, itchy, but extremely comfortable.

He pinched a peach blossom cake from the blue and white porcelain plate and fed it to Cao Yue's lips: "You don't have much for breakfast, after so long, you must be hungry." This is a peach blossom cake made by the imperial chef with the peach blossoms picked on your Zhuangzi, although the taste is not as good as what you make in your Zhuangzi, but it is also okay, try it? ”

Cao Yue took a small bite of peach blossom cake with Kangxi's hand, the taste was indeed average, but ......

Swallowing the cake, Cao Yue broke free of Kangxi's arm and looked at him suspiciously: "When have you ever tasted the peach blossom cake made on Concubine Zhuangzi?" ”

Kangxi didn't understand why Cao Yue asked like this, so he nodded and said, "I had dinner at your Zhuangzi that day, and one of the snacks was peach blossom cake." The taste is indeed good, but it is too sweet, I think it is your taste. ”

When the words fell, Kangxi saw that Cao Yue suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and wondered: "What's the matter, but what's wrong with the peach blossom cake?" ”

Cao Yue lowered his head, embarrassed to look at Kangxi, so Kangxi moved his gaze to An Ning not far away: "You say." ”

An Ning glanced at Cao Yue twice, bent his knees and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the peach blossom cake was originally a pastry made by the mother that day, and it was originally planned to be sent back to the old lady, but the kitchen manager was too busy and ignored it, so ......"

In a word, the peach blossom cake is not for you to eat, and it is purely accidental that you can eat it.

Kangxi was stunned and smiled: "How can I say that the peach blossom cake is so different, it is Yue'er's craftsmanship." ”

He didn't doubt the truth of An Ning's words at all, because a woman like Concubine Zhao, who didn't care much about anything, wouldn't tell lies about this kind of thing.

Cao Yue's head lowered: "The concubine's craftsmanship is not good, which makes the emperor laugh." ”

Kangxi disagreed: "Why should Yue'er be humble, if I had known that Yue'er had such skills, I wouldn't have read this peach blossom cake for many days." ”

This is to coax Cao Yue, he has a heavy taste, and it is fresh to eat the peach blossom cake once, and he feels tired of eating it again.

But because it was her, he was willing to put some effort into coaxing, and it was good for the Pomeranian to laugh.

Returning to Kangxi's arms again, Cao Yue's fingertips hooked Kangxi's belt, and there was uneasiness in her soft voice: "Then when you return to the palace, the concubine will make it for you to eat, you must remember to come to Jingren Palace to see the concubine, don't forget the concubine, otherwise the concubine will be sad." ”

Kangxi curled his index finger and scraped the tip of Cao Yue's nose, and his tone was very doting: "Yue'er, don't worry, I will not forget you even if I forget anyone." ”
