Qiu Chi was surprised, turned his face sideways and glanced at Qian Dai, not only did the master not plan for himself, but he also gave Jiang Guifei an idea with great interest.

……

Qiu Chifang stepped out of the inner hall, and the cloud warbler outside entered with refreshments. After these days, the wound on her forehead was much better, the scab slowly fell off, and with good medicine, she was able to recover very quickly.

When Wanfu saw her coming in, her eyes rolled and she called Qiandai closer, "I remember that Sister Qiu sent a piece of Shu embroidery a few days ago, scrubbed it clean, and went to the Internal Affairs Office to get some sewing baskets." ”

Qian Dai was quite puzzled by her master's behavior, she remembered that when she first served her master, her master was lazy and hated these things the most. I only read the book all day long, but whenever I meet a female celebrity of calligraphy and painting, I am so bored that I don't want to see more.

"Master, this is ......"

Wanfu glanced at the cloud warbler with erected ears on the side, and was serious, "That Shu embroidery is a good satin, and I am reluctant to use it." The emperor treated me so well, so he made a bed for the emperor, which can be regarded as a return for the peach. ”

The master wants to make bedding for the emperor?

The corners of Qian Dai's mouth twitched, and what she thought in her heart was not how relieved the emperor was to learn of his master's move, and the person he favored was finally sensible, but couldn't help but think, can the clothes made by the master really be worn?

At that time, I don't know whether the emperor threw it aside in disgust, or reluctantly put it on in consideration of his master's wishes. The most important thing is that the Shu embroidery is indeed excellent, I am afraid that I can't find such a horse in Kyoto, and it will be ruined by the master, which is a pity.

……

The deeper the winter, the more reluctant Wanfu is to move when she lies in the warm bed, but it is indispensable to go to Kunning Palace to ask for peace, even if she is a favorite concubine, if she doesn't go, the emperor will be dissatisfied with her in his heart. Moreover, this is giving others a reason to dispose of her.

The queen did not keep the concubines for long, and after greeting them, they dispersed, and when they went out of the gate of Kunning Palace, they saw a boy of three or four years old running from afar, with a hat made of sheepskin knocked on the top of his head, wrapped from head to toe with a thick cloak, covering it tightly.

He trotted over, glanced at the concubines who were going out, and made a flat salute.

"Jing'er, why are you here?" The queen put a gentle smile on her face, stroked the hat of the eldest prince, and wrapped the cloak around her body so as not to catch the cold.

The child's voice was crisp, word by word, and he said slowly: "Mr. praised Jing'er's good handwriting, and Jing'er wanted to show it to his father." ”

At this time, the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to go before the early dynasty has fallen. However, she seems to have rarely heard of the emperor going to see the eldest prince, and most of the time, the emperor went to the Ming Se Palace to accompany Princess Shunning.

Thinking like this, she looked at Ying Concubine quietly.

Concubine Ying's face was still cold, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking.

The eldest prince, whose child is it at the bottom?

Is it a concubine? Or the Queen?

The queen pale, took the eldest prince's little hand, and said in a calm voice: "At this time, it is the early dynasty, Jing'er wants to see her father, and she will go after her father leaves the early dynasty, okay?" ”

Jing'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded obediently, "Okay, Jing'er won't disturb her father's handling of government affairs." ”

When something went wrong, the concubines took a look at each other and found an opportunity to leave.

Wanfu walked with Lu Guiren.

The two went to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, and after a little detour, they suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

"Father, Jing'er will also recite fifteen imperial poems, and Jing'er will recite them to his father."

Wanfu paused and exchanged glances with Lu Guiren. Didn't the queen take the eldest prince in Kunning Palace? Why is it back to the Imperial Garden.

The two of them came here, and a few people in the pavilion only needed to see them at a glance.

It is a felony to avoid going to the courtesy after meeting the emperor.

Wanfu was helpless, and went to the pavilion with Lu Guiren to greet the emperor and queen. The voice of the eldest prince reciting poems stopped, but the queen gently asked the two of them to get up, "Coincidentally, Lu Guiren and Concubine Ling are also in this imperial garden." ”

Li Xuanyin sat on the stone bench, drank tea, and casually looked at the woman who came to greet her.

Wanfu lowered her eyebrows, and said without hurrying: "The two concubines have no intention of passing by, it is difficult to avoid it, and the mother forgives the sin." ”

The queen chuckled, "You two know the rules best, what's the crime?" Since you are here, let's stay and talk, the main palace is less out of the Kunning Palace, and when there are many people, it is not good to say anything considerate. Concubine Ling has been in the palace for so long, and the palace has never taken care of Concubine Ling one or two. ”

Wanfu didn't understand the queen's thoughts, the eldest prince rarely saw the emperor, shouldn't he be alone with the emperor? What are you doing with the two of them here?

"Niangniang has taken care of enough, and the concubine Xie Niangniang is too late, how dare she bother."

Immediately afterward, hearing the man sneer, Li Xuanyin turned his face to the queen and said, "The queen really has to take good care of her, so as not to be troubled every day." ”

This sentence can be regarded as intimate.

But Wanfu didn't want to say those words to the emperor in front of the queen. No matter how unfavored the queen is, she is also the lord of these six houses.

She pursed her lips, but in the end she decided it would be better to play dead.

The queen also lost her mind for a moment when she heard this, and quickly changed to a gentle smile, "Concubine Ling is charming and intelligent, no wonder the emperor likes it." ”

Chapter 52

It was at this time that I heard the sound of talking in the distance, and then followed by Concubine Ying and Jingcai on the same road and entered the pavilion.

The queen asked the two to excuse themselves, "It's really lively today."

Jingcai took Princess Shunning by the hand and put on a smile, "The concubine and the sister of the concubine happened to meet, and they were about to return to the palace, when they saw the emperor's mother, so they came to meet them." ”

After the words fell, Jingcairen bent down and touched Princess Shunning's face, "Doesn't Xi'er miss her father?" Go and say hello to your father. ”

Since the matter of the imperial garden passed, Jingcai people have not gone out, went to Kunning Palace to say that they were sick and took leave, but now they are well-informed, I don't know where to get the news, for fear that Princess Shunning will fall out of favor, Baba brought it over to the emperor to see the emperor.

Princess Shunning is lively by nature and is not afraid of the majesty of the emperor, so she obediently responded, "Okay." Then he ran over, threw himself into Li Xuanyin's arms, and shouted sweetly: "My father and the emperor don't come to see Xi'er, Xi'er misses her father!" ”

Li Xuanyin smiled and hugged her daughter, "Xi'er is a lot heavier."

Princess Shunning was born affectionate to the emperor, which is why the emperor loves this little princess alone. One is that there are not many heirs in the harem, and the other is that because the little princess is born close to him, she is not as feared by others.

The eldest prince silently stepped aside, like a shadow, and did not compete with his sister for favor.

Seeing this, the corners of the queen's mouth raised slightly, and she glanced at Jingcai with deep meaning. Ying Concubine looked at Tianlun in the pavilion with cold eyes, holding her lower abdomen, thoughtful.

Wanfu quietly glanced at a few people who had their own thoughts, the emperor loved Princess Shunning, and Jingcai was also honored, but she did not avoid the eyes of people to let Princess Shunning compete with the eldest prince for favor, didn't she offend the queen? Is it too stupid. Talented people can't raise dragon heirs, and the emperor has never been promoted to the position of Jingcai, who knows how long Jingcai people can raise Princess Shunning.

……

The matter of the pavilion was met by the ministers of the former dynasty, and the holy drive back to the Qiankun Palace ended.

Now that the emperor is gone, there is no need for Jingcai to stay, she is not Concubine Zhao, she only raised a well-behaved princess under her knees, although the emperor does not want to see the queen, but the queen is the lord of the six palaces, and there should be a number of courtesies. If she hadn't been able to see the emperor all the time, she was afraid that Shunning would fall out of favor, and she wouldn't have made this decision.

The concubines each invited themselves back to the palace, the eldest prince turned around, looked in the direction where the holy car left, he touched the unicorn jade pendant he had worn since he was a child on his waist, and finally asked the sentence, "Queen Mother, does the father and emperor not like Jing'er." ”

The queen's palms clenched tightly, the tip of her nose ached, and she turned her back to prevent Jing'er from seeing her weeping.

After a while, she turned her face back, beckoned to Jing'er, held her son's hand, and said with a smile: "How can the emperor not like Jing'er, it's just that Jing'er is the eldest son, and in the future, she will have to shoulder the mountains and rivers of this society, and she has a heavy responsibility." Your father doesn't want you to be too stubborn, so he will discipline you harshly. When Jing'er grows up, she will understand your father's painstaking efforts. ”

Jing'er's eyes were confused, and she was puzzled: "But Jing'er is still young, and Jing'er also wants to be like Shunning and let her father hold Jing'er." He lowered his head in frustration, "Jing'er remembers that her father has never hugged Jing'er. He has never smiled at Jing'er as he did with Shunning. ”

The queen's eyes were sour, and she couldn't bear to look at her son again, for fear that she couldn't help it, and shed tears in front of her son.

Comb Liu wiped the corners of her eyes, and hurriedly crossed her words, "Niangniang, it's cold, the slave and maid help Niangniang go back." ”

The queen nodded, and then she spoke, "Jing'er doesn't have to care about that, Jing'er just needs to remember that you are the eldest son of the noble concubine, and no matter how much others love the emperor, they can't compare to you." ”

……

Day by day it was getting colder and colder, Wanfu sat on the narrow couch and held two soup women in her arms to ward off the cold. Concubine Zhuang came to talk to her, and as soon as she entered the house, she frowned, "The side hall is not as good as the main hall, and there is no earth dragon." It's not easy to survive in winter, so you might as well go and talk to the emperor and go to live in the main palace of another palace for a while. ”

Wanfu's eyes widened in surprise, and Concubine Zhuang naturally sat down and glanced at her, "What, did I say something wrong?" ”

"Sister Qiu said this, then wouldn't I be too pampered and arrogant."

It was just a concubine, and when she said that she would move to the main hall, she would move to the main hall, and when others heard it, they might not know how to squeeze her.

Concubine Zhuang clutched the Tang Pozi in her arms, "Didn't Concubine Ying also move to the main hall just as a concubine?" Besides, do you think about what you did in the palace, and you are afraid that others will gossip about other things? ”

Wanfu coughed weakly, "Before anyone else could say it, my sister squeezed me first." ”

Every time Concubine Zhuang comes back, she has to put on a bunch of jewelry, and the small private treasury of the Golden Jubilee Pavilion is almost impossible to put down.

After Concubine Zhuang left, Wanfu counted the list of private treasury, and listed more than ten of them only given by Concubine Zhuang, which was more than what the emperor sent.

Qiu Chi's eyes lit up with gold, "Concubine Zhuang treats her master so well, and the slave thinks it's better than the emperor!" ”

Coincidentally, this is the sentence that was heard correctly by men.

Li Xuanyin stood outside the bead curtain with his hands in his hands, his face darkened, and he turned around and walked out.

Chen Dehai looked inside, and he couldn't wait to personally pull out the mouthy girl, and it was rare for the emperor to get out of government affairs and come to see Concubine Ling, but he was angry with this sentence.

Thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly blessings. After the great drought, the treasury was tight, and the emperor's gifts for his concubines were all taken from his own private treasury. The emperor himself has filled the treasury, and there is not much left in the private treasury, and he rewards the concubines, but others can't ask for it! Concubine Ling is good, but she still dislikes it. Chen Dehai only felt that every time he came back to Concubine Ling, he was terrified, and he trotted out to follow the emperor.

The movement over there provoked Wanfu's sideways eyes, and Pan Shui made a bitter face, "Master, just ...... The emperor is here! ”

Qiu Chi was dumbfounded, the emperor came up and left, must have listened to her own words, she knelt down, panicked and shed tears, "Master, the slave is speechless...... The master reprimands! ”

Wanfu glared at Pan Shui, "How to guard the door, the emperor is here, and I don't know how to notify me in advance, and then there will be a next time, and you will be punished for the month!" ”

Pan Shui breathed a sigh of relief and heard that the master was not to blame. I really don't blame him, the emperor came up quickly, and he didn't let him pass the word at all, so he entered the door. Although he is a slave of his master, this harem is owned by the emperor, and the emperor can pluck his head with a word.

……

Li Xuanyin stepped out of the door of the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, did not go to Luanyu, stood under the palace gate with his hand, and twisted the white jade wrench of his thumb.

Chen Dehai trotted up and followed, followed by the minions who sent off the holy car and knelt on the ground.

Li Xuanyin glanced at the woman, but she didn't see the woman, and her face became darker and darker, "You came out, and she didn't see it?" ”

Chen Dehai was stunned, how could he care about Concubine Ling Seeing it, can't he follow and serve the emperor! Then he stammered: "Concubine Ling, Xu ...... Xu heard it. ”

"I didn't come out to send me when I heard it, I really gave her courage!" Li Xuanyin kept a calm face and was angry at him.

Chen Dehai laughed, "It's about Concubine Ling knowing that she said the wrong thing, and she is thinking about admitting her mistake to the emperor." ”

"Admit mistakes? Will she know wrong? Li Xuanyin sneered, turned around and went to Luanyu, "Go back to Qiankun Palace." ”

Chen Dehai wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and responded. I looked back at the servants who knelt down in the courtyard, but I didn't see the concubines. I really don't know what Concubine Ling is calculating, but you must coax the emperor well, otherwise it will be his neighbor who serves in front of the emperor who will suffer.

In the inner hall, when he heard that the holy car was leaving, Qiu Chi was so anxious that he cried out, "Master, all the mistakes are the slave's fault, the slave and the maid said the wrong thing, if the slave and the maid go to kowtow to the emperor and confess their sins, don't let the master fall out of favor because of the slave!" ”

Wanfu glanced at her with disgust, "This time you have learned a long lesson?" Knowing that the trouble comes from the mouth, see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future! ”

"The master shall punish the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will not dare again." Qiu Chi's eyes were red, and he was really scared. The holy favor is impermanent, and the master is now helpless in the palace, making enemies everywhere, and if he loses the holy favor again, he must not be bullied by others.

"Okay, get up quickly, what do you cry like...... Wanfu said halfway, and suddenly pursed her lips and laughed, these words were clearly reprimanded by the emperor, but one day she was reminded of others.

Wanfu continued: "If the emperor turns his face and leaves, he is not really angry with me, there is always a way to coax me. You just need to remember today's lesson, and don't talk about right and wrong again. ”
