Chapter 54. Complain

When Zhou Ninghai withdrew, he happened to bump into Chun Chang, and when he saw her skipping and walking into the main hall without heart or lungs, Zhou Ninghai's eyes couldn't help but sink, and his heart sudden.

"Sister Guan, Sister Rong!" Chun Chang arrived before the voice arrived, and trotted in, "The queen said that there will be a chrysanthemum appreciation conference next month, saying that the flower house has cultivated many precious varieties, and specially asked me to inform the two sisters, it is set for October twenty-six." After coming in, she saw the clothes Cui Jinxi was holding in her hand at a glance, and immediately leaned up, "Huh? Isn't this the Shu brocade sent to Concubine Hua's palace? How is it here in my sister? ”

Zhen Huan was full of sadness, but An Lingrong and Chun Chang were explaining.

"I'll see." Chun Chang was holding the clothes in his hand, shaking them open and looking at them carefully, "This dress is so beautiful, why is Sister Guan still unhappy after receiving the clothes?" She looked at Zhen Huan, then at the clothes in her hand, and looked puzzled, "What kind of flower is this?" Haven't seen it. ”

Zhen Huan raised her eyes and looked over, her expression suddenly changed slightly, and she paused for a long time before she spoke: "This is ...... Sunset, morning glory. ”

Somehow, Zhen Huan's mind suddenly flashed the face of King Guojun, and the conversation with him on the night of Qixi Festival, word by word, still in his ears. She began to reflect on whether her feelings for the emperor were wrong at the beginning, if the love in this world can't end from the beginning, I'm afraid the ending will not be good, Yuyin drowned, the emperor didn't have the slightest favor for her, so that Zhen Huan once again felt the emperor's coldness, although the emperor still treated her very well, but she still couldn't help but be afraid.

Therefore, since returning to the palace, Zhen Huan has been far away from the emperor intentionally or unintentionally, who knew that the emperor turned his head and found that something was wrong with her, and he sent Shu brocade and jade shoes for this that day.

Zhen Huan recalled the conversation with the emperor that day......

……

"Huanhuan, is there something about me that makes you unhappy? When you come back from the palace, you always seem to have something on your mind. The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and asked seriously.

Zhen Huan immediately replied: "No, the emperor didn't make the concubines unhappy. It's just that the emperor is too fond of the concubines, but the concubines will be a little afraid. She paused, and then said, "Huan Huan is afraid that the emperor is just a favorite." ”

"Pampering pampering, this pet is love." The emperor reassured, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

"What if you pet but don't love?" Zhen Huan blurted out, and the moment her voice landed, she felt inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "Maybe the emperor will make an exception for Huan Huan." As long as there is a little love in many pets, Huan Huan will be very happy. ”

After hearing this, the emperor just chuckled: "This is stupid." ”

……

Remembering what King Guojun said that night, "If you treat a person sincerely, you must love him and don't make him feel sad in the slightest", Zhen Huan woke up suddenly, listening to Cui Jinxi was still worried that there would be something wrong with Concubine Hua's gift-giving too suddenly, she just chuckled: "It's not just you, I can't understand what she thinks." ”

"Everything that comes out of the blue, there must be something strange." An Lingrong reminded.

Chun Changzai didn't think so, and only said with a smile: "Sister Guan's dress matches that pair of Shu brocade shoes, isn't it just right?" At next month's chrysanthemum appreciation conference, my sister will definitely be crowned with this outfit. ”

Zhen Huan smiled at Chun Chang, did not speak, and turned to look at An Lingrong.

"I'll ask Cardamom to pay more attention to her in the past few days to see if she has any movement." An Lingrong is self-conscious.

"Thank you, I'll go to thank Cardamom myself another day." Zhen Huan shook An Lingrong's hand and said with a smile.

On the other side, Concubine Hua was ready to stumble on Zhen Huan, she dressed up deliberately and came to Shoukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother, and Song Zhi was holding an ink-colored big coat behind her.

"The concubine asks the Queen Mother for peace, and the Queen Mother is blessed with peace and security." Concubine Hua smiled and saluted the Queen Mother.

"Get up." The Queen Mother raised a mask-like smile and looked at Concubine Hua with kindness, "Why are you free today?" ”

"It is the duty of the concubines to serve the queen mother, the emperor is busy with court affairs, and the concubines should be filial to the queen mother for the emperor." Concubine Hua spoke in a high-sounding manner, and the smile on her face became more and more soft.

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing in her heart, she said it better than she sang, and I hadn't seen you here a while ago. With Shen Meizhuang in front, Concubine Hua's performance of not being drunk today is more obvious, but the Queen Mother can guess a few points, for the sake of Nian Qianyao, she also has to carry three points of affection for the emperor: "The little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”

Concubine Hua chuckled, leaned over and asked, "After autumn, the night is extremely cold, is the Queen Mother still coughing?" He said, "The concubine remembered that the Queen Mother had always been afraid of the cold, so she specially sent someone to make a fox fur." He raised his hand and motioned for Song Zhi to hold the thing.

The Queen Mother looked at the big one that Zhuxi took over, and saw at a glance that this was the fox skin of the ink fox, which cost a lot of money, and it was warm like spring wrapped around her body, which was indeed a good thing.

"The concubine's brother was in Qinghai to quell the chaos, and accidentally dabbled in two ink fox skins, and the concubine thought that she was young and couldn't wear the atmosphere of the ink fox, so she made a big piece to dedicate to the queen mother." Concubine Hua said, "The concubine knows that the queen mother is devoted to worshipping the Buddha, and she deliberately used passionflower pattern makeup to forge the lining, and I hope that the queen mother will not dislike the concubine a little clumsy." "It's rare for her to be so low, but the Queen Mother is opposite, and Concubine Hua doesn't think there's anything.

"It's rare for you to be so filial." The gift was sent to the heart of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also showed a sincere smile, and couldn't help but look at Concubine Hua's outfit today, "Why are you dressed so plainly today?" ”

This question was in the heart of Concubine Zhonghua, she pretended to smile reservedly, and said humbly: "Although the concubine is young and ignorant, she is not young in the concubine's generation, and the natural elements are cleaner. As soon as her words turned, she revealed her usual arrogance, "I don't want to be a nobleman and a nobleman, I like young and delicate." ”

The Queen Mother was a little curious: "I often hear you hear about the nobles of Guan, and the mourning family only remembers that the appearance is quite cute." She only vaguely remembered that she looked a little similar to Chunyuan.

Concubine Hua's eyes flashed, and she followed and said: "It's a pity that the Queen Mother hasn't seen the nobles of Guan in the past few days!" The emperor gave the Dongguan nobles a pair of Shu brocade shoes woven with gold and carved flowers, even the soles were made of jade, and the Dongguan nobles made two Shu brocade flag suits, and the water can be marked on the body! She pointed out that Zhen Huan was too extravagant.

"Really?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "But the mourning family remembers that now is not the time for Shu Jin to enter the palace." ”

Concubine Hua smiled clearly, and explained meaningfully by drinking tea: "The nobles of Dongguan are young and lovely, how can they not have them?" It's just that I don't know how much this Shu brocade is worth. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, how could she not understand Concubine Hua's thoughts, this was to use her own hands to vent her anger. couldn't help but tug the corners of her mouth, and said: "She just entered the palace and the emperor treats her as a child, so she will naturally be favored, you have been favored by the emperor for many years, you should mention it." "If you want to say who is the most extravagant in this palace, how can anyone compare to Concubine Hua, holding on to such a trivial matter, I'm afraid that the source of this still falls on the emperor.

The corners of Concubine Hua's mouth stiffened for a moment, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart: "Yes." ”

Seeing that Concubine Hua was a little reluctant, the Queen Mother had to coax her: "According to the mourning family, you are the most important in the emperor's heart, and the Huanyi incense you use is the spice that the emperor personally selected, and asked someone to match it to give it to you, you look at the whole palace, who has the emperor used this thought for?" Then he smiled and asked Concubine Hua to come to him, took off the step shake on his head, and put the hairpin in Concubine Hua's hair, "This step shake is when the mourning family just became a concubine, the filial piety of the Empress Dowager rewarded, you are like a flower like jade, your position is noble, what do you do when you dress up so plainly, according to the mourning family, this step shake is just right for you to wear." ”

Concubine Hua was rewarded by the Queen Mother, and the evil breath in her heart was also slightly relieved: "Thank you Queen Mother for your love." ”

"The mourning family loves you as much as the emperor." The Queen Mother said softly, "Go and change your clothes and show the emperor well." ”

Concubine Hua left satisfied.

As soon as she left, the Queen Mother fell with a smile and asked Zhu Xi to light the sandalwood, and Zhu Xi chuckled: "The Queen Mother also thinks that the sour gas in this house is too heavy, and she wants to drive it away." ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "It's common to be jealous in the harem, do you still need to make a fuss?" "I muttered a few words, and at the end said a few words about the emperor's not, "A lot of age, and I don't care about everything, so that the mourning family worries." Thinking that Nian's family was powerful, and Nian Qianyao had made military exploits again, the Queen Mother ordered, "You go to the Heart Cultivation Hall and tell me that the emperor will invite him to come over after he is busy with political affairs." ”

It's not that the Queen Mother wants to give face to the Nian family, Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo are both important ministers with the merits of the dragon, if one day, the emperor wants to attack Nian Qianyao, I'm afraid that the next one is Long Keduo, although these two people are not in the same boat now, but they are also a relationship of both glory and loss. The Queen Mother and Long Keduo have an old relationship, so they naturally have to make long-term plans for him.

In the evening, the emperor came up to greet the queen mother and talked about the nobles of Guan. Seeing the emperor's words and all kinds of maintenance, the Queen Mother can also understand, after all, there is a pure yuan affection, and it is reasonable to treat her differently, just look at it like this, it seems that this Guan nobleman is indeed a little outstanding, the Queen Mother can't help but remember it in her heart, thinking about when to meet her.

The queen mother talked about the concubines in the harem again: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, and he hasn't seen her for three or four days, so how often do you see Concubine Hua, how often do you see the queen, and how often do you see Jing Concubine once?" Since the emperor is busy, it is rare to see the three palaces and six courts, but if it seems too close, it will hurt the hearts of the concubines. ”

The emperor moved his mouth and pondered.

If you want to say that the queen respects the concubine, it is indeed rare, but why is it rare for Concubine Hua to say it? Last month, the sixteenth party only went to her palace, and went to dinner a few days ago, as for the intimacy, it seems that there is no exclusive favor for the nobles of Dongguan recently, and the nobles and nobles share the rain and dew, why let the queen mother order him so much today?

The emperor's eyes swept and fell on the ink fox coat inside, and he suddenly understood: "Such a good ink fox skin, I'm afraid it will only be available in Qinghai." ”

"The emperor is really bright-eyed, the palace is so dark, he can clearly see that it is the skin of the ink fox, and the government of the harem is naturally even more insightful." The Queen Mother seized the opportunity to praise Concubine Hua with a connotative meal, and when she saw that the emperor understood, she nodded, and said, "In addition to the use of Enwei and Shi in the imperial court, the harem is the same." Now there are some things left in the northwest to pacify, but the southwest toast is still a confidant, and it will take a lot of trouble to settle down. Nian Qianyao is talented and loyal, as long as he is not arrogant, the emperor should use it well. ”

When it comes to government affairs, the emperor has some guilt in his heart, but he still nodded: "It is a great achievement to pacify the western region, and in October, Nian Qianyao will go to Beijing to meet him, and his son will definitely reward him." ”

The Queen Mother settled down, and then talked about Huan Yixiang: "This incense is cumbersome to make and is not easy to obtain, does the emperor no longer reward her?" ”

Huan Yixiang is an important symbol of Concubine Hua's sole favor, only she can use the six palaces, the spice production is extremely cumbersome, and the materials are also extremely precious, among which a musk is a precious variety. Concubine Hua has been dyed with this incense for many years, the bottom of her skin has long been destroyed, and there is no possibility of giving birth.

A dark light crossed the emperor's eyes, and he lowered his eyes: "She has been used to it for so many years, so naturally she wants to reward her." ”

The Queen Mother's heart was slightly touched, maybe it was the rare gentleness of Concubine Hua today that touched her and softened her heart, or maybe it was because she read too many Buddhist scriptures, and people were also compassionate: "The mourning family heard that you recorded Wen Yi in the name of Concubine Duan?" Seeing that the emperor nodded, he said, "This is good, it can be regarded as making up for the wrongs she was guilty of back then." ”

The emperor remembered the old past, and unconsciously lowered his face.

When Concubine Hua was still in the palace side of Fujin, she was indeed pregnant with a child, but the emperor saw Nian Qianyao's hidden ambition under respect, and he took precautions early. Thinking about it, if Concubine Hua was pregnant with a daughter, it would be fine, but it was a boy.

If the Nian family holds a prince in their hands, I am afraid that in the future, whether the surname of this country is Nian or Aixin Jueluo, it is impossible to say. After hesitating for a while, the emperor still reluctantly beat Concubine Hua's child. The bowl of abortion pills was personally mixed by the queen and sent by Concubine Duan to Concubine Hua - just because Concubine Duan was gentle, Concubine Hua only believed in her three points.

A bowl of medicine went down, ruined Concubine Hua's children, and also ruined her friendship with Concubine Duan, and she has counted this account on Concubine Duan's head so far.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, the emperor sat in a sedan chair sullenly and headed in the direction of Yikun Palace, on the way, he explained to Su Peisheng: "Go to Broken Yuxuan to pass a message to Rong Guiren, and I will go to her for breakfast tomorrow." ”

Su Peisheng responded and hurriedly went.

I suddenly found that two days of this month were rewarded, because it was not a Q reading channel, so there was no reminder in the background, and I saw it after flipping through the daily report.

Make up for these two tips today.
