Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 89

She didn't know what the imperial concubine and the concubine Xian had had a holiday with, and why they had to fight with guns and arrows at this flower banquet, but everyone present should be clear in their hearts.

She made tea from the imperial concubine's peony flowers, at least she could say that the ignorant was innocent, but the person who knew that he had provided water, that was the ambitious one who wanted to oppose the imperial concubine and all those who were reluctant to bear flowers.

Thinking of the worst situation, even if this matter gets bigger, it won't make her take the main responsibility.

The phrase "King of all flowers" made Concubine Pei feel inexplicably good.

Even looking at Zhao Xiwei's eyes brightened a bit: Zhao's house, this girl raised in the countryside, is really smart.

The imperial concubine laughed: "Peony is the king of all flowers. If you boil it with ordinary well water, it will lose its taste."

Zhao Xiwei put his heart back into his stomach, but heard Concubine Xian also laughing: "Although she is the king of all flowers, she is not as precious as the water lilies in Concubine Shu's palace. That's what your majesty rewarded. The honor, that is, only the favorite of Queen Gu's Jiaofang back then can be compared."

Concubine Xian's tone was as ordinary as talking about how nice the weather is today, but in Zhao Xiwei's ears, there was always a malicious coldness.

It was almost half a day after entering the palace, and the so-called Concubine Shu, that is, her aunt, had yet to show her face.

At this time, the name was mentioned in Concubine Xian's mouth again, which inevitably made her think too much.

Judging from the attitudes of Concubine Pei Gui and Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu was not so comfortable in the palace.

The queen mother's voice sounded unhurriedly: "Water lilies are delicate. It's really not easy to take care of water lilies in this weather. It can be seen that the emperor is really caring, and even my old lady can't make him take it so seriously."

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.

"Hum" with a chuckle, followed by the crisp collision of the tea bowls.

It was Concubine Xian. She was obviously very displeased with Concubine Xian when she mentioned this matter, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Concubine Xian seemed to have not noticed it at all, and continued on purpose: "It was offered by the prefect of Xiangyang. It is said that it was raised with hot spring water and jade bowls, and a cabin was built, and candles were used to keep the temperature day and night. It is like a small greenhouse, and then it is urgently transported to the capital along the waterway, and the damaged and withered ones are picked out, and there are only 99 flowers left in total.

His Majesty was very happy when he saw it, so he gave them all to Concubine Shu, but there were none of the other sisters. I heard that it was Song Meiren who was sleeping that night, and he asked His Majesty for it. His Majesty said, 'There is no place where you live. The pond, even if you give it away, it can't be kept well, so it's better to give it to Concubine Shu. Poor Song Meiren went back and cried for a long night because of this. "

Concubine Ming shook her head and said with a smile: "Song Meiren is still young and somewhat childish. In terms of being favored, we, Concubine Shu, are the only ones who have a share. If you are angry about this, she will cry in the future."

Someone over there sighed quietly: "Hey, who said it wasn't, the cherries sent to Donglai County last time were the same as red agate, watery and sparkling, we only got three pounds, and Concubine Shu sent it directly from the palace. Thirty pounds."

Listening to these small talk, Zhao Xiwei felt like sitting on pins and needles.

She had never seen concubines and concubines competing for favor in the palace, so she wondered if they often sat together and talked about these topics.

She really wanted to kneel outside the hall now. Although it was cold and painful to kneel there, she couldn't kill anyone.

Now these concubines, your words are my words, and the topic is all about your aunt Zhao Shufei. If one of them is in a bad mood, maybe one sentence is the crime of beheading.

Thinking so, she calmed down.

The more the concubines talked about Concubine Shu, the more she had to behave calmly.

No matter how difficult Concubine Shu's situation is, she still has the emperor's favor. No matter how hard these people are, they have to endure it.

She is just a young lady of the Zhao family who has not yet come out of the cabinet. If she has any reaction on this topic, it will be disrespectful.

Therefore, she made up her mind, and let these people say what they said, just bowed her head and held the tea without saying a word, as if she didn't know who Concubine Shu was, and could not understand these sour and jealous words.

She didn't believe it, these people could talk all day.

Sure enough, seeing that Zhao Xiwei didn't respond, Concubine Xian turned the topic back to Concubine Concubine: "Hey, this peony is really beautiful, but the flowerpot below is too old and a little unworthy."

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help frowning.

This virtuous concubine is really not virtuous at all.

People have a good pot of flowers, and they will use it to make tea in a while, but the tea cannot be made, and they say that this flower is not suitable for a pot—

The overtone is that the imperial concubine is not worthy of peony.

Concubine Pei Gui endured it again and again, and when she heard the word "unworthy", she finally got a heart attack, and she heard a "bang", and the tea cup was placed on the table: "What if it's old? This palace says it's worthy of it. !"

Zhao Xi secretly said that it was not good.

This Concubine Pei Gui is indeed an impatient person, who wants to be trapped by Concubine Zhongxian.

"Pfft—" Concubine Xian smiled while covering her sleeves: "Concubine, don't be angry, my sister just asked casually. It happened that there was a white jade flowerpot in my sister's palace. send."

For the sake of provocative words, what is rare is that he still has a tone like asking for warmth, which is in contrast to Concubine Pei's strong explosion at the touch of a button, as if she was the one who was being bullied.

Zhao Xiwei sighed in his heart, this Concubine Xian does not seem to be a simple person.

Concubine Pei Gui has real power and is not a vegetarian, so she immediately retorted: "If this palace lacks any reward from His Majesty, I will not worry about Concubine Xian's sister. Concubine Xian has this energy, it is better to take good care of your body and make a branch for His Majesty. Loose leaves are the right thing to do."

"You—" Concubine Xian stopped abruptly.

Beating a snake and hitting seven inches, Concubine Xian's words hit Concubine Xian's pain point: childless.

The queen mother who hadn't said a word for a long time said, "Yeah, there hasn't been a new person in the palace for a long time, you all have to strive hard, and the Ai family is still looking forward to holding another grandson."

When it comes to the issue of descendants, the rest of the concubines and concubines couldn't hold back their face, they coughed slightly, lowered their heads and pretended to drink tea.

Ever since Empress Gu passed away, the emperor has not been interested in the concubines and concubines in the harem, but if they want to spread their branches and leaves, they must be fortunate to have your Majesty.

It was quiet all around.

Concubine Pei Gui let out a bad breath and felt a lot more at ease, she picked up the cup again, and smiled and echoed the Queen Mother: "That's right, that flower is more beautiful than this flower all the time, and this palace wants to remind the sisters. One or two sentences, why don't you learn from Concubine Shu and think about how to keep your Majesty's heart? Look, you can't conceive a dragon seed, but Concubine Shu gave birth to two—although they are both Princess, but it's better than having no children, isn't it?"

Zhao Xiwei felt a little complicated.

It seems that these concubines and concubines in the harem often use Concubine Shu as a raft.

Her aunt, I don't know how much splint gas she has to endure...

The gate of the palace is like a sea, even if you are from the Xiangfu, you will inevitably have to endure humiliation and burden.
