The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 126 Jingchu (3)

In the next few days, the emperor went to Chengqian Palace almost every day.The war in Shaanxi has almost settled down, and the emperor finally has some free time. Coupled with the incident on the night of the first snow, Jiaorong is not so resistant to serving in bed, so that these days, the files of the respect room are always recorded. It is the Uya clan of Chengqian Palace.

Jiao Rong was born as a court lady, with such grace, naturally everyone would be jealous.Among them, the person who has the biggest opinion on Jiaorong is undoubtedly Ma Guiren, who had formed a big relationship with Jiaorong before. People who do things like this without thinking, also know that they are more afraid of Jiao Rong.

As for Jiao Rong himself, even if he is blessed with grace, his face still has that cold expression every day, which is more prominent in winter.Looking at the continuous rewards from Chengqian Palace during this period, Jiaorong's eyes became sharper. This is probably what the women in the palace are after. Who can resist the temptation of wealth and power?
Even though Jiao Rong has always regarded these things as dung, she has to admit that if she can live such a good life just by saying good things to the emperor every day, what is there for her to be stubborn?

Not long after, it was the end of another year.A new thing happened before the Chinese New Year this year. The war was busy this year, and the emperor had been working hard for a whole year, so that the harem hadn't had a newcomer for a long time.And just in the past few days, the emperor personally sent someone in front of the imperial court to pick up a civilian girl from outside the palace, and then directly gave him the position of Chang Zai, and also gave her a title.

This newcomer is an ordinary girl named Guo Luoluo Jingchu.It is said that the emperor had been infected with pox when he was a child. At that time, the first emperor asked the nurse to take the emperor out of the Forbidden City to recuperate.Since the news of the royal family being infected with the pox epidemic would easily cause panic among the common people, so the first emperor asked everyone who accompanied the emperor to pretend to be ordinary people.

At that time, there was a neighbor next to the house where the emperor lived outside the city. Although they didn't know that they were from the royal family, they had been helping them enthusiastically and taking care of them in every possible way. They were Jingchu's parents, they were ordinary small traders.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he gave many rewards to the Guo Luoluo family. First, he gave Jingchu's father the position of Deputy Counselor of Coating, and then he accepted Jingchu's concubine sister Guo Luoluo Jingzhuo, who is now Zhuo Chang. exist.Now that Jing Chu, the only prostitute daughter of the Guo Luoluo family, has reached the age, the emperor asked someone to pick her up.

For the Guo Luoluo family, the emperor is benevolent and righteous, and he has always known how to be grateful.

When everyone came to Qixiang Palace to pay their respects, Concubine Zhao explained to them the arrival of Guo Luoluo.Afterwards, Ma Guiren couldn't help sneering, looked at Jiao Rong with a slightly provocative look, and slightly hooked his red lips: "It seems that this new sister will definitely be held in the palm of the emperor's palm, sister Wu Ya , you must not be jealous, after all, you have had enough of pampering these past few months."

Ma Guiren's delivery date is approaching, and her belly is really big, but even so, she still chooses to hang around in front of everyone's eyes. It seems that only in this way can she show her status.

Jiaorong glanced at Ma Guiren coldly, her face did not change at all.She lightly dusted the teacup, her armored fingers curled up slightly.After these few months of adaptation, she no longer had the rustic vibe she had when she was first enshrined. She was said to be rich and supportive. She behaves like this with ease, and she is probably raised in this way.

"Ma Guiren was joking. It is very common for the emperor to favor newcomers in the palace. If he is always favored alone, it will be frightening." Jiaorong didn't look at Ma Guiren again, but the indifference in his tone was obvious.

Seeing that Jiaorong was not offended, Ma Guiren showed off his exclusive treatment, his face was a bit ferocious, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, "Sister Wu Ya, it's better to be more vigilant." After all, the Guo Luoluo family was given the title of "Yi" by the emperor himself when he first entered the palace. My sister probably doesn't know if she hasn't read the book. This title comes from here, and it has been seriously thought out."

Hearing this, Jiao Rong frowned and remained silent for a few seconds.It's not a big deal for the emperor to favor other concubines, but it depends on the temperament of the newcomer. If she is unhappy with her everywhere like a nobleman, Jiaorong will not easily get used to it, but if she has a gentle temperament, it can be appropriate Make friends.

As for deliberately winning favor as Ma Guiren said, Jiao Rong has no such intention.At least right now she is not short of food and clothing, and she is living a decent life. If the emperor goes to take care of others, she will just take a rest, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Thinking of this, Jiaorong smiled slightly, and responded to Ma Guiren: "Be more concerned about Ma Guiren, but instead of letting my sister be wary of her favor, it is better for Ma Guiren to take care of her own body first. It's better to move around, anyway, the imperial concubine will not blame you."

After the words fell, before Ma Guiren could react, Jiaorong turned her head and looked at Zhuo Changzai who was diagonally opposite: "What's more, Zhuo Changzai learned that Concubine Yi likes to eat sweets, and often gave concubine Yi I have always had a good impression of Zhuo Changzai for the food sent by the empress, how could there be a dispute with her own sister?"

Zhuo Changzai was always a transparent existence in the palace, when Jiao Rong suddenly mentioned it, she froze for a moment, and then smiled back gently.

Seeing all this in the eyes of Ma Guiren, she was almost so angry that she moved her fetus, her expression was a little distorted, and she said viciously: "Okay, when the time comes, sister Wu Ya will lose her favor, but don't let us big guys see it." Seeing you looking embarrassed and depressed."

This morning's greeting made everyone very unhappy. Originally, it was enough to make people unhappy that a newcomer who was valued entered the palace, but then being agitated by Ma Guiren and Jiaorong, no one was in a good mood.

After returning to Chengqian Palace, Concubine Yi asked Jiaorong to go to the main hall, and then gave Jiaorong some cotton clothes she made by herself, and asked Jiaorong to send her to Qianqing Palace to the emperor.

Concubine Yi is afraid of the cold and doesn't like to go out in winter. These days are the coldest time, and Jiaorong didn't want her to suffer, so she agreed.

Wearing a gray-blue fox fur cloak, Jiao Rong brought Bai Sang and Yi Zhu to the Qianqing Palace.It was probably the time when the emperor was dealing with official duties. Jiaorong did not see Liang Jiugong in the courtyard, but instead saw the imperial eunuch's consultant line.

The consultant was quite surprised when he saw Jiao Rong, "Master Wu Ya, why are you here?"

Jiaorong curled her lips slightly, and her voice was a little softer: "Concubine Yi personally made some winter cotton clothes for the emperor, and asked me to send them to the emperor."
