Chunman Palace

Chapter 14
The originally deserted harem suddenly became lively.

Ever since Concubine Min became a pampered concubine, her power has become stronger, and she has ordered concubines in the palace not to go out in private, let alone make friends secretly, otherwise they will be severely punished. Even the queen nodded acquiescingly, and she ran amok in the harem, and all the concubines dared to Not daring to speak in anger, they each sealed the palace gates and seldom went out.

After Chang Xiuru became a concubine, she took the lead in breaking this rule and began to communicate frequently with various palaces. Even Ji and Ling concubines went diligently. spoke.

Her current limelight has directly overshadowed Concubine Min in the past.

In fact, when she tried to replace Concubine Min in Qingxin Palace and failed, she was already hated by her.

She knew that Concubine Min must hate it even more now, and she must be itching her teeth in her own palace.

Such a quick revenge made her feel very satisfied.

Today, as usual, the concubines gathered in Li Jinxuan, the concubine's regular concubine, to chat, and it was rare that Mu Pingting also came.

Although she has been promoted to concubine, she still lives in Li Jin Xuan, just wanting to be closer to Mu Pingting's Fu Jing Xuan. Now that Mu Pingting's illness is gradually recovering, she took the initiative to come to the house, which surprised her a little.

Chang Xiuru couldn't hide her joy, and ordered the maid to prepare refreshments, and took the initiative to care for Mu Pingting: "Is sister feeling better?"

Three days after Chang Xiuru was promoted to the throne, she stopped the decoction and asked the imperial physician to take good care of her body. Although the decoction with a pulse showing symptoms was only taken once every seven days, there was still some slight toxicity that had to be eliminated slowly.

Mu Pingting smiled lightly and said: "It's already seven or eight, I believe it will be cured in a few days." She came this time, in fact, she wanted to work together to make a living in the palace.

One must know that although the Empress, Concubine Min and Chang Xiuru are three-legged rivals, there will always be a day when Feng Shui will turn around. When Chang Xiuru loses power and no one cooperates, she may be the first to lose.

Although she and Chang Xiuru only met because of her father, the sisters they knew from the two families, their relationship is not too deep, but I don't want to see her end badly.

If Chang Xiuru understood the principle of planning for a rainy day, she would not have to worry about it.

Seeing Concubine Chang's concern towards Mrs. Jin, all the concubines also became polite to Mrs. Jin, wishing him a quick recovery, and said something leisurely, Mu Pingting thanked them one by one.

Concubine Ling blew on the hot air in the tea, and said suddenly: "Speaking of which, Concubine Ji's sister's illness is not getting better, why don't you ask Mr. Jin which imperial physician you have found and help you?"

Concubine Ji had a melancholy look on her face. Due to her body's long-standing illness, she always looked miserable. She covered her heart with her hands and seemed to be smiling: "This illness of this palace is an old problem. I have let you down all these years. Even if the empress dowager's heart is cured, she will have no face to face the empress dowager."

From the looks of it, Concubine Ji has lost her intention to win the favor again. Although she is in the position of concubine now, the decorations and rewards in the palace are not even as good as a promise. In the harem, being unfavored is the most pathetic existence.

Ling Concubine also sighed leisurely, "Sister Ji Concubine should also take care of her own body, right? We have already lost the favor, if we don't take care of our own body, then who will care about us?" She said It's very free and easy.

"You two ladies should take care of your health. Only when your body is healthy will you have a chance to win the favor again." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bleak, Yu Chang was the first to break it.

But Lingbi still said sadly: "Yeah, but even if I take good care of myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the favor again in this life, unlike my sister Chang..." She gave Chang Xiuru a meaningful look, and then seemed to be interested. He added: "The grace is not fading."

As the head of concubines, Concubine Ling lowered her attitude towards a new concubine like Concubine Chang...

No.Ling Concubine's words clearly meant something, and she wanted Chang Concubine to speak kindly in front of the emperor.Mu Pingting immediately saw through this point, Lingbi clearly wanted to take the position of the head of the concubine and let Chang concubine speak well in front of the emperor.

She was hesitating whether to speak, but Chang Xiuru replied generously: "Please rest assured, sisters, I have a way to make my sisters regain their favor."

The concubines looked at each other tacitly, and Concubine Ling said: "My dear sister, is this true?"

Chang Xiuru nodded in disbelief, raised her lips and said, "Sisters, you just need to go to the Imperial Hospital, get some borneol, orange peel, mint and golden chrysanthemum, and soak in the bathtub when you go back."

Ling Concubine was a little unbelievable: "What's the use of this?"

Chang Xiuru smiled softly at first, and then said as if embarrassed: "One time when the emperor was in bed, the emperor brought some heat, and the younger sister came up with this method. I didn't expect the emperor to develop a habit. Every time he came to the younger sister's palace, he would always have a bath. Take a dip in this medicine bucket."

Ling Concubine and the others looked at each other, the emperor didn't go to their palace, so how could this prescription be used to keep the emperor?
"My sister doesn't quite understand what my sister said." Ling Concubine smiled, but it always sounded like she was gnashing her teeth.

Chang Xiuru pretended to be stupid and said: "If my sister doesn't understand, then my sister will not understand." She was willing to win over these down-and-out concubines to flatter them, but now she has the idea of ​​dividing her favor, so naturally she also You are Welcome.

The atmosphere was a little hot for a while.

Seeing that Chang Xiuru had exhausted her words, Lingpin, Jipin and others couldn't say anything more, they all said that they had something to do in the palace and went back to the palace.

Mu Pingting narrowed her eyes, feeling very worried.

I thought it would be fine if Chang Xiuru didn't have a defense, at least she learned how to make friends, but now she tore her face so easily, not only embarrassing, but also making enemies for herself.

"Ru'er, you are very impatient in dealing with people nowadays, you should save yourself some escape route." Mu Pingting persuaded her earnestly, and added: "You should pay more attention to your behavior."

But Chang Xiuru snorted lightly, "Now that I have won the emperor's favor, they are worthy of letting me bow their heads? Let's not look at who is the most honorable master now!" There was a bit of resentment in her words.

"I know you don't want to pretend to cater, but you always have to put on a show. If you are too straightforward, you will suffer in the harem. You have to learn more from Qing Yu."

As soon as Chang Xiuru heard this, she exploded, and immediately burned fiercely like flammable water that had caught fire: "Of course she can only rely on others for such a lowly thing, and obey her orders, but I am different! I was born with Chang Xiuru. Noble, never humble like dust!"

Normally, she would only think that Chang Xiuru was playing petty temper, but looking at it now, the resentment was about to overflow her eyes, and it made her back shiver.

Knowing that Chang Xiuru couldn't listen to anything now, Mu Pingting sighed as if giving up.

"You should calm down and think about it for yourself." She left such a sentence and left without looking back.

Back in Fujingxuan, the more Mu Pingting thought about it, the more she felt strange. Lin Qingyu didn't offend Chang Xiuru, but why did she make such a scene.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but drank the strong tea on the table.

Seeing that her master was worried, Huayue couldn't help telling what the daily concubine had promised Lin.

In fact, she saw it that day, Mu Pingting stopped taking the medicine and couldn't stand the heat, so she went to fetch ice on purpose, and happened to encounter a conflict between Chang Lin and the two on the way, so she hid and heard it clearly.

Mu Pingting couldn't help saying angrily: "Why did you tell me this now? No, I have to go and see Qingyu."

Huayue hastily persuaded: "Little master! It's getting late, and Lin promised to be seriously ill these days, the queen ordered no one to visit him."

"What! Is Qingyu really sick?" Mu Pingting had a headache, she frowned, put her hand on her forehead and said, "Go and take the red ginseng and purple lucidum that Daddy brought, and see if you can just take the things Send it, it’s fine if people don’t go in.”

"Yes." Huayue took the order and hurried away with her things.

Yaohua Pavilion is still cold and cold, but it is a bit more depressed than before. Under the shadow of the green shade, the faces of the maids who decorate the flowers and plants are more dusty.

It was inconvenient for Huayue to go in, so she called over from afar, and when she was explaining her purpose, she looked at the palace maid and exclaimed, "Lingqiao? Why is it you!"

And Lingqiao trembled all over, staring at the mud-stained bricks and stones, lowered her head and walked quickly.

"Wait! Lingqiao!" Hua Yueyan quickly grabbed the man's sleeve and refused to let go, "Tell me what's going on!"
