Chapter 65. Defections

The year is getting colder and colder, An Lingrong has been focusing on raising the fetus for half a month, the queen mother watched it closely, and she was not allowed to leave the palace, she stayed in the Chunxi Palace with peace of mind.

During this period, Chun Chang came to the Chunxi Hall twice with the nobles of Fucha, Shen Meizhuang was busy with the New Year's Festival and couldn't get away, but he also asked people to send things from time to time, only Zhen Huan, as if he had completely forgotten An Lingrong, and there was no more concern for a word. Chun Chang also said that she and Zhen Huan mentioned it a few times, but she always shirked it, and noticed that the two seemed to have a conflict, and Chun Chang didn't mention it again later.

Chun Chang asked An Lingrong before leaving that day: "Sister Rong, did you quarrel with Sister Guan?" ”

"I don't know." An Lingrong just shook her head, she could probably guess what it was, but she couldn't see Zhen Huan, so it was difficult to tell, "Chun'er, if you are free, help me pass a word to Sister Guan." It is said that you should not listen to one side of the story, but you must listen to both sides. ”

The queen's sowing of discord has always started from small things, bit by bit, gathering into a river, now that Zhuqing has been reused by Zhen Huan, there is no need for any major events to happen, as long as she says a few more words during her daily service, it is enough to knock out cracks on the basis of An Lingrong and Zhen Huan's trust. An Lingrong understands Zhuqing, this person seems to be honest, but in fact, he is thick and fine, and he is the most observant of words and colors, and he can deduce what the master is thinking at the moment through some subtle expressions, which is not amazing.

After seeing Zhuqing for the first time, An Lingrong knew that she and Zhen Huan had to go through this experience. Only when Zhu Qing moves her mind can An Lingrong find a way to expose her true face and pull out her nail from Zhen Huan's side.

But now, Zhen Huan actually avoided her, and An Lingrong couldn't go to her, so she was embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll definitely persuade Sister Guan to come." Chun Changzai hurriedly nodded in agreement.

On this day, Concubine Hua invited the concubines of the palace to watch the play in Qingyin Pavilion, everyone had already arrived, and the queen and Concubine Hua were still in the future.

Chun Chang was sitting behind Zhen Huan, like a chair piercing her buttocks, she couldn't sit steadily, hesitated to hesitate, but quietly pulled Zhen Huan's sleeve and said to her: "Sister Guan, if it's still early when we go back, let's go see Sister Rong together, right?" She misses you. ”

"Didn't you just go to see her the other day?" Zhen Huan blinked, pretending not to understand Chun Chang's words, and only smiled, "If you want to go, go there, Broken Yuxuan will keep the door for you." ”

Chun Changzai pouted: "I want my sister to accompany me." ”

Zhen Huan wanted to excuse herself, but the Fucha nobleman sitting on the other side interrupted her words loudly, and there was a bit of ridicule in her laughter: "How can the nobles of Dongguan have time to see Rong and agree, they are too late to serve the emperor, where do they remember the good sisters of the past?" Chun Changzai can't even hear the voiceover, your sister Guan doesn't want to go to the Chunxi Palace. This is said that people go to high places, water flows to low places, and the grace of the nobles in Dongguan is gradually flourishing, which is also human nature. ”

The voice of the Fucha nobleman was sharp and sharp, and he directly picked out the whispers between Zhen Huan and Chun Changzai.

"The nobles of Fucha have misunderstood." Zhen Huan replied unhurriedly, "Sister Rong is raising a baby, I coughed twice in the morning, I was afraid that I would accidentally give Sister Rong too sick, so I didn't plan to go." ”

"Hmph, it's clearly ......" The Fucha nobleman wanted to say more, but there was a burst of singing at the door.

"The queen has arrivedβ€”Concubine Hua has arrivedβ€”"

"As soon as I came in, I heard you guys discussing, what's going on, so lively?" The queen still had her usual smiling face, and said after sitting down.

"It's not an important thing, the sisters are just joking." Shen Meizhuang stopped the words of the Fucha noble, and preemptively opened her mouth to turn the matter over, she glanced at it, and her eyes fell on Concubine Qi's hand, "It is speaking of the flat gold hand stove in Concubine Qi's hand, looking at it so delicate, I heard that it was given by the third elder brother." ”

Concubine Qi wanted to follow the words of the nobleman Fucha and talk about Fang Cai, but when she heard Shen Meizhuang talk about her proud third elder brother, she immediately put Fang Cai's matter behind her, and said with a smile: "Yes, the third elder brother specially sent it to Gong a few days ago, saying that this hand stove will be warmed for longer." ”

"You are the biological mother of the third elder brother, and he naturally thinks about you all the time." The queen smiled and said to her, and then asked, "What kind of play have you prepared today?" ”

"If you go back to the queen's mother, it is Liu Jinding who sings from Nanfu Opera to save the car, and the rest is what the little masters like to order." Zhou Ninghai replied on the side.

The queen nodded, and Concubine Hua on the side said impatiently: "Then let them sing, don't let the sisters wait for a long time." The main palace and the queen lit first. ”

Concubine Hua made up her mind to suppress the queen today, and when Jiang Fuhai handed over the play book, she raised her hand and took it over to order the play first: "This palace remembers that there is an excellent Dingzhi Spring and Autumn Festival, which tells the story of the Three Kingdoms, what does the queen think?" ”

Everyone saw Concubine Hua's trespassing, but the queen only smiled as if nothing had happened: "Since you want to see it, let's light it first." ”

Concubine Hua had to inch in, and added another play: "Then the concubine will order another Xue Dingshan expedition to the west." She raised her lips and chuckled, but no one responded to her for a while, and she couldn't help but look up at Cao Guiren, only to see her looking ahead blankly, and the person was also sitting dumbfounded, and couldn't help frowning.

"This palace only likes to watch Quanshan Jinke, and then order a Yaotai." The queen made no mistake and ordered two of the common.

Concubine Qi hurriedly opened her mouth to flatter: "Niangniang's benevolence and good deeds are just like Yaotai's loving mother, blessing the world." ”

"Persuading Shanjinke is talking about Mulian saving her mother, just like the third elder brother is filial to you." The queen said with a smile.

Without Cao Guiren answering, Concubine Hua was cold, and it seemed that she had fallen into a downgrade, she was unhappy in her heart, and immediately stabbed: "The third elder brother is too filial piety, if he spends some effort on reading, the emperor will be less angry." ”

Concubine Qi was so blocked that she couldn't speak, so she could only stare angrily.

Cao Guiren, who has always loved to be funny, was silent today, and all she thought about was the words that Lingrong asked Dill to pass on to her that good night-the Huanyi incense used by Concubine Hua contained a lot of musk!

This news directly stunned her, and the ensuing speculation made her more and more shocking the more she thought about it. Cao Guiren has been thinking about this matter for a few days, Huan Yixiang was when Concubine Hua was still in the palace, and the emperor rewarded her, at that time, because the emperor only allowed Concubine Hua to use it alone, Concubine Qi also made trouble for a while, and once she secretly used it and was severely punished by the emperor, since then, Huan Yixiang has become one of the symbols of the emperor's love for Concubine Hua.

But now, someone told her that the emperor's love for Concubine Hua was a conspiracy from the beginning, how could she not be alarmed? Cao Guiren didn't want to believe it, so he secretly asked for some Huanyi incense in the past few days, and found a way to let the people outside the palace check it themselves, confirming that this incense did contain musk.

What is musk? It is a medicine that can make a woman infertile and have a miscarriage even if she is pregnant!

Concubine Hua uses Huan Yixiang almost every day, for more than ten years, a large amount of musk has been inhaled into her body, and her body has long been bad, she is still stupid and doesn't know, looking forward to the emperor's grace every day, thinking that one day she can have a child. Cao Guiren couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, thinking about it before and after, it was not difficult to guess that the emperor was guarding against the Nian family and Nian Qianyao, and his favor for Concubine Hua was just a means to stabilize the previous dynasty, and then thinking about the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Hua during this time, Cao Guiren vaguely guessed that Concubine Hua was about to come to an end, but she didn't know it.

What she has relied on all these years is a dangerous building.

Cao Guiren's heart was cold, and suddenly remembered the day he was born Wenyi, it was extremely dangerous, and in the end, it was the Wenpo soldiers who took a dangerous move to pull her and the princess back from the ghost gate, only this one, she was also greatly injured, and the doctor diagnosed that she could not have a second child in this life, and now that I think about it, it is difficult to say that there is no influence of Huan Yixiang.

I can't stay with Concubine Hua anymore.

Cao Guiren clenched her fist hard, her long nails embedded in the flesh, and the pain came clearly, she had never been so awake.

During the banquet, the queen's voice came from afar, recalling Cao Guiren's thoughts: "My sister's clothes today are really beautiful, the red gold and ruby jewelry, my sister is gorgeous and generous, it is really very eye-catching." ”

Concubine Hua smiled proudly: "The concubine is afraid that Jiang Zhongmin will not be in charge of the Internal Affairs Office for a long time, and he will not be able to make good things, so she specially asked her brother to make it in the Zhenbao Zhai outside. I'll wear it. ”

"It's so expensive, I'm afraid it will cost a lot, right?"

The queen's question was in the heart of Concubine Zhonghua, and she immediately said: "In fact, if the things are good, what is the money, and the queen is too careful." She looked at the queen defiantly, "I heard that the queen sued the emperor a few days ago because of the large expenses in the palace of her concubines. Her face was slightly mocking, "In fact, no matter how much the concubine spends, the queen doesn't have to be so painful, it's the concubine's own business, no matter how much money is exceeded, the concubine will let the maiden family make up for it." ”

Cao Guiren's gaze moved from Concubine Hua's face to the queen's face, and saw that the latter did not show half of the embarrassment of being sarcastic, but smiled more and more: "My sister can have this heart and compassion for this palace, this palace is very pleased." I hope that with Concubine Hua's example, all sisters can understand that a stitch and a thread are not easy to come by, and if they can't be open source, they can also save a little. ”

And all of them stood up and agreed.

After singing, the people watching the play in the audience were more tired than the actors on the stage, and Cao Guiren had no heart to sit here anymore, so he got up and confessed: "Queen Mother, the concubine is really unwell, and I want to retire first." ”

The queen saw that her face was pale and her forehead was full of cold sweat, so she allowed her to go back to the palace first.

Cao Guiren left the Qingyin Pavilion with Yin's sleeve's hand, looked up at the sun hanging high, only felt that his whole body was cold, and hurriedly ordered people to go back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, she went straight to An Lingrong's Chunxi Palace.

"Sister Cao is here, sit down." An Lingrong seemed to have expected her to come today, and after seeing her, she was not half surprised, and sat on the floor and beckoned her to sit down with a smile, "It's freezing outside, my sister will take a sip of hot tea first." ”

Looking at An Lingrong's harmless smile, Cao Qinmo somehow couldn't stop feeling stunned, she had been in the palace for many years, although she was cautious by Concubine Hua's side, she had never been so flustered and unconfident as she is now. What is in front of me is just a small promise, and he is so young, how can he be so powerful.

"Sister Rong's body is better? What happened that night was really a misunderstanding, and I hope my sister doesn't take it to heart. Cao Qinmo forced a smile, looked at An Lingrong's expression, and wanted to find out the truth with her.

An Lingrong looked at her with a smile, but she didn't want to gossip any more, so she went straight to the point: "That day in Zichun Pavilion, in fact, my sister guessed that the fetus in my womb was the emperor, right?" Ignoring Cao Qinmo's slightly changing expression, Fu continued, "But my sister still helped Concubine Hua to find trouble with me, I thought that my sister had already made a choice to stand on the opposite side of me, I don't know what she thinks when she comes today?" ”

Cao Qinmo smiled and prevaricated: "Where did my sister start with this......

"I'm lazy, I don't have time to say anything more to my sister, I came today, my sister should have thought it through before coming." An Lingrong took a sip of tea and interrupted Cao Qinmo's tirade, "Sister's last concern is just to want to know what benefits she can get from me, yes or no?" ”

Seeing An Lingrong so simply, Cao Qinmo also put away his smile: "Then dare to ask my sister, if I stand on your side, what benefits can I get?" ”

"My sister has been by Concubine Hua's side for so long, have you ever thought about the day when she will be crowned a concubine?" An Lingrong looked at Cao Qinmo with a smile, and her voice seemed to have a magical power, "As long as you get rid of the golden bell jar of Concubine Hua, with your sister's intelligence, if you want to get a concubine, it will definitely be fine, and my sister is willing to help my sister." An Lingrong leaned over and reached out to hold Cao Qinmo's hand, his eyes were as secretive as he was.

Cao Qinmo's heartbeat gradually accelerated, she was a little noon, and a little longing, things that she didn't dare to think about before suddenly broke through the ground at this time, she looked at An Lingrong's white and flawless face, and there was a storm in her head, and after a long time, she slowly held An Lingrong's hand back, and said slowly: "In this way, it will be as my sister wishes." ”
