Chapter 412: Returning to Favor?
That night, Yinyu rested peacefully in Qingyi Courtyard, and was not troubled by any urgent matter to the study halfway, which made Lin Chujiu, who had already been abused into a dog, sigh that he had a chance to breathe.
Tingyu and Tingqin looked at Lin Chujiu's expression of 'finally being able to rest', and their faces were full of disgust.
Lin Chujiu didn't care, he only knew that if he had a chance, he would have a good rest, after all, according to the current situation, who knows what kind of situation it will be tomorrow, how much worry the master has to worry about, and how much effort he has to work behind the master.
When there was no movement in Wanxi's house, Lin Chujiu and Tingyu changed people to guard them and went to rest.
In Qingyi Courtyard, although Wanxi did not explain, but Tingyu and they still arranged a room for Lin Chujiu, although it was a little off, but it was closer to the main courtyard, and it was a temporary resting place, and it was not so exquisite, but it made Lin Chujiu remember Wanxi's favor in his heart. This is also why Lin Chujiu is always willing to help Wanxi say good things.
Of course, being favored is also a key reason, but being favored does not mean that everyone is willing to join in. Before Wanxi didn't enter the mansion, those who thought they were favored, Lin Chujiu had paid attention to them.
Between these people, sometimes they pay attention to fate, and sometimes they pay attention to sincerity for sincerity.
In the palace, in the main hall of Yonghe Palace, Concubine De leaned on the head of the bed, her brows frowned tightly, her face was full of impatience, and Mama An on the side stood aside, holding scissors, cutting the heart of the candle, looking at the candlelight in the room, and sighed secretly in her heart.
"Niangniang, it's getting late, let's rest early!" Mama An looked at Concubine De, whose face was getting worse and worse, and couldn't help but persuade boldly.
Since the ban was lifted, De Concubine's temper has become more impatient than before, and there is a hint of radicalism in her speech and actions, especially after the eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother came once, De Concubine's temper has become even more difficult to fathom.
Recently, Concubine De has been thinking about how to restore favor, according to Mama An's meaning, today's Concubine De is definitely not as beautiful as those young palace concubines, and the affection has been exhausted because of this series of things, and the rest can only rely on the fourteenth elder brother, because the fourth elder brother was separated by the concubine early, even if she regrets it now, Mama An feels that there is not much effect.
This person, no matter how much he can endure and tolerate, there is a limit. From the time the fourth elder brother never entered Yonghe Palace again, and was only willing to ask for peace outside, Mama An knew that the mother-son relationship between the fourth elder brother and the concubine was broken. These minions felt sorry in their hearts, but it was a pity that Concubine De herself didn't realize what she had lost until now!
Although De Concubine was immersed in her own thoughts, she had never lost her vigilance completely. Before Mama An spoke, she came back to her senses, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Mama An, seeing her concerned look, she nodded subconsciously, and when she lay back, she felt that it was difficult to fall asleep.
She always thought that if she became the fourth concubine, she would be able to live that infinite life high on the ground, but the fact is that she finally fell from the clouds, although she did not fall into the valley, but if she wanted to climb up, unless her old fourteenth sat on that chair, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to climb to the concubine position in this life, let alone the queen mother.
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and Concubine De knew that this was because Mama An had extinguished a few lights, and when the curtain was lowered, her eyes were all black, quiet but difficult to sleep peacefully. The more she thought about it, the clearer her mind became, and everything that had been past reappeared over and over again in her mind, and finally froze at the moment when she became Concubine De.
Yes, she still couldn't let go of that scenery in the end, and in the end she still couldn't accept her son to sit on that throne for a long time, so she definitely wanted to regain Kangxi's favor or trust. And the way to get all this is the idea that she thinks is a killer in her heart, but she doesn't move easily.
I really didn't expect that after all, she still couldn't get rid of the Tong family, although the fourth child couldn't do it, but she knew in her heart that Kangxi's most guilty was the Tong family, she used it well, she got what she wanted, and if she didn't use it well, her situation would not be worse than now.
"Mama An!" De Concubine sat up and called outside.
Mama An, who was originally making a knot, heard the movement, made a gesture to Yurao, who was about to make a knot, and then walked towards the hall. After lighting the lamp, when he saw Concubine De sitting up, he couldn't help but pin the curtain up again.
"Niangniang, but you want to drink water?" Mama An leaned forward and asked softly.
Concubine De looked at Mama An, and muttered for a moment before saying, "Mama, let our people move, and this palace should know the whereabouts of the emperor, especially when he went to Jingren Palace." ”
"Niangniang-" Mama An was stunned, as if she didn't expect Concubine De to suddenly have such an order.
But Concubine De didn't care what she was thinking, once she decided what to do, ten horses couldn't pull it back, not to mention the persuasion of Mama An and a slave.
"There is no need to persuade again, this palace must do this. Today's situation is not one-sided, but it is not the same, the situation of the old fourteenth is worrying, the palace can't watch him lose, let alone let him be fished by others, so the palace has to regain favor, and the emperor has to remember that he has a fourteenth son. The slightly dim candlelight fell on De Concubine's face, and the expression on her face was hideous, which made people look a little worried.
Mama An looked at this scene, sighed secretly in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Since Niangniang has already decided, the old slave will do it tomorrow." ”
At this hour, most of the palace has already given the key, and it is easy to not go out, even if there is really something to do, then she has to be careful and careful, even if Concubine De orders, she can't run out now.
"Yes. I'll leave that to you. After Concubine De explained, the whole person lay back again, and the moment she closed her eyes, she didn't know if it was a relationship that had already been decided, but she felt tired and wanted to rest.
Mama An didn't say more, stretched out her hand to put down the curtain, turned off the lights, and when she got out of the hall, the expression on her face quickly collapsed. She really didn't expect that they would come this far in the end.
Niangniang herself may not have found out, but she knew that when the emperor named Niangniang as Concubine De, everything had already come to an end, and it might not work to turn over the old accounts of the fourth elder brother and Queen Tong. What's more, today's mother has repeatedly treated the fourth elder brother harshly, how can these fall in the eyes of the emperor have no effect at all.
Outside the hall, Yurao saw Mama An coming out, and immediately took two steps forward to Mama An, suppressed her voice, and said in a low voice: "Mama, what do you have to say?"
As soon as her words fell, Mama An subconsciously shook her head and said, "It's nothing, you just need to be alert at night whether Niangniang wants to get up at night, and the rest is not something we can control." ”
When Yurao heard this, she pursed her lips, from the personal palace maid of one of the four concubines to the personal palace maid of the current concubine, it seems that there has not changed much, but her status is very different. In addition, De Concubine repeatedly made stupid moves, which made the emperor angry, every time she was punished, De Concubine may not feel anything, but they palace people will not be held when they go out again, but anyone can step on two feet, if it is not for the fourth elder brother who is the prince, those people are afraid that they will do even more excessively.
As for the fourteenth elder brother, he really looked at the scenery, but in fact, he didn't care at all. He has such a perfunctory attitude towards the concubines, not to mention them palace people, he is already thankful that he doesn't trouble them palace people. It's a pity that Concubine De is like her eyes are covered by something, and she insists on driving the fourth elder brother away. As far as Mama An said, don't think about it, Yurao also knows that Concubine De must have some crooked idea again, not tossing the fourth elder brother, then she will definitely want to regain her favor whimsically.
Resurgence?
If Concubine De was still young, they must be full of hope, and even happily help her to give advice together. But now the concubine is serious, no matter how beautiful the word is, she can't use it, and it's reluctant to say that the are half-old. It seems that in the past few years, Concubine Hui has aged very fast, among the four concubines, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui are the oldest, and even Concubine Hui's only son has been imprisoned, but compared with the two, it is obvious that Concubine Hui is better maintained, just like that, how likely is it that Concubine De will regain favor?
"Mama, Niangniang wants to ......" Yurao finally couldn't help asking, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked Mama An to cover her mouth.
"Don't talk about it, how can we who are slaves question the master's decision. Mama An scolded in a low voice, then let go of Yurao, and persuaded with a suppressed voice: "If you don't try some things, no one knows the result." Niangniang's mind is good, after all, people go to high places. ”
Yurao didn't move, her expression looked a little depressed, thinking that she was also tired of dealing with Concubine De's actions, but Concubine De was the master, she was a servant, even if she knew that it wouldn't work, she could only nod in the end, and could only do what she wanted.
Early the next morning, Mama An did not appear in the palace to wait for Concubine De to freshen up, and Concubine De seemed to know this. Yurao wanted to speak several times, but thinking of Mama An's warning last night, she finally swallowed back all the words that came to her mouth.
And Mama An seems to have been idle every day since the day of the fight, and there are few times when she can see her in Yonghe Palace, it seems that she is not in Yonghe Palace most of the time, and even if she does, she comes and goes in a hurry, such a move makes the palace people of Yonghe Palace inexplicably nervous, as if something they don't know but makes them feel uneasy is about to happen.
Mama An has no intention of paying attention to these, she has been shuttling around the palace these days, collecting all kinds of news every day, until ten days later, she got a piece of news, which can be regarded as the end of the days of running around.
"Niangniang, I heard the news from the dark pile in Jingren Palace, the emperor will go to Jingren Palace tomorrow night, Li Dequan has already informed the people in Jingren Palace to start packing up their things. Mama An hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, approached in front of Concubine De, and whispered.
"Finally let the palace wait, go and arrange it, and turn the tables in this game. Hearing this, Concubine De put her palm slightly heavy on the side of the case, and said in a heavy tone.
