Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Not to mention, Lingxi has been a vegetarian for several years, and her figure has become slimmer and slimmer, and the newly popular pear blossom, white cage, smoke and Xiuyun style clothes in the capital have become more beautiful and moving.In the past, people said that among the three daughters of Empress Dowager Zhen, Sister Miyue is as graceful and luxurious as the bright moon, and her snowy soul is brighter than the flowers of three springs. On the contrary, Sister Lingxi in the middle is lonely and nameless, but at this moment, I feel lonely. Lingxi, who has gone through a green life, has learned to interpret her own complexion with a quiet temperament, which is just right, but others can't learn it.

Ever since Concubine Duanmu passed away, I was in a bad mood, and I didn't want people with teary eyes to be melancholy, so I haven't set foot in Feishuang Palace for a long time.So regarding Sister Lingxi's change, I am both pleasantly surprised and curious, and I am looking forward to being able to travel in the same car, so I can talk about it on the road.

But helplessly, the royal family has its own rules and regulations, and Lingxi was assigned to ride with Xue Po.And I am walking in harmony with the freshmen who haven't seen each other for nearly a year.At first, I was worried that she would make sneering remarks that would make people unhappy, but she didn't provoke anything along the way. At best, she just sat on the side and closed her eyes to rest.

After two days like this, nothing happened, and the maids of internal officials who stayed behind at the Taiping Palace greeted and waited on them.The Empress Dowager and Xue Po lived in the Yifu Hall, and several concubines lived in the Shende Hall.The emperor's elder brother naturally lived in the water-green Nanxun Palace that the late emperor was accustomed to, while Yin Zhaoyi arranged for the rest of the concubines to stay.The Emperor Ji and I live together in the extremely spacious Scenery Jiyue Hall.

After arranging the clothes, he took his servants to find Lingxi to talk.She was sitting in front of the window fanning, the beauty's round fan was swaying in the wind, and the end was so peaceful as in the painting. When she saw me, she smiled and said, "Why are you here now? I came here to avoid the summer heat. Are you afraid of getting caught?"

I said: "My sister is making fun of me. Ever since Liu Hong left the palace, you have no one around you, and you don't know how to fan the master?"

Lingxi laughed even more cheerfully, and said: "There is no such thing as being worthy of the word "Dangdang" around Liuhong, what do you think?" After a pause, she said: "A few days ago, she wrote that she was married The man is a medicine collector in the town, and he saved up his family property to get married when he was not too young. I heard that Liu Hong came from the palace, and he is very precious."

I sighed: "What good is there in the palace? It's not that everyone wants to leave, but I hate that I'm still oblivious to it, otherwise Ruxiu wouldn't..."

Lingxi also sighed after hearing this, and was not in a hurry to comfort me, but murmured, "Actually, regardless of whether you are in the palace or not, as a human being, there is a distinction between good and bad master and servant, and my fate is to be entrusted to my father and queen Under my knees, I have been supported by my elder brother since I was a child, accompanied by good sisters like you, and have a rich life. If there are no setbacks in this way, even I will say that the Bodhisattva is too partial. Since others really don’t mean it, why do I bother to plunge into it? If you refuse to come out, it’s just self-sufficiency.”

I was very surprised for a moment, looked at her and said: "Sister, you?" After nearly three years of intense autism, I almost thought that she would never be able to get out of this dishonesty in her life, and today I suddenly heard her change , What I felt for a while was not a surprise, but a suspicion. I wondered if I was an errand?

Lingxi continued: "Actually, on the night Concubine Duanmu passed away, Queen Mother went to Feishuang Hall and told me about Concubine Duan's life and Aunt Yuluo's life. I have never experienced such suffering, but I still You will think, maybe what I love has never belonged to me, so I will just eat fast and recite Buddha for the rest of my life? Sister, I have the blood of Zhen Shizhi's death and rebirth in me, so, from now on, you and Xue Po don't live up to me. My sister is worried."

At that moment, I really wet my cheeks with tears, and cried out, in a consonance.Perhaps in this life, she will never love anyone as purely as she did when she was a young girl, but at least, she has worked hard for herself, and the understanding after grief and setbacks will allow her to live peacefully.

In this world, there are too many things you can't ask for. Maybe you think that what you are fighting for is marriage and status, but God's will always tricks people.

Whether it is Lingxi or me, we should be thankful that God has given too much, and it is inevitable that one or two unsatisfactory things will happen.

After this incident, I went back to the house and had a good night's sleep. The next morning I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and I rushed too early.Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood, I feel that the queen mother is also very kind to me.After a while, Empress Qingfu came along with her birth mother.Little Diji is the only child of the emperor's brother so far. Even though she is a daughter, she is still very rare in the whole palace. The Queen Mother even held her in her arms and coaxed her: "Come on, good granddaughter, call me grandmother."

The little Diji really imitated the sound, but the ten-month-old child couldn't understand it at all, but the queen mother was still overjoyed, and she untied a suet jade pendant from her waist and gave it to her little granddaughter.Concubine Jing was so happy that she quickly hugged her to thank her. Since Concubine Jing was demoted last time, she has lost more and more place in front of the emperor, so she had to work hard with the Queen Mother. Although she is not lovable, it is for the sake of Emperor Ji In fact, no one saves her face except Xue Po.

Concubine Jing saw that the Queen Mother was happy, and hurriedly said: "Actually, Diji already knows how to call father emperor, but His Majesty has not gone to the concubine's place, and Diji can't hear His Majesty even after calling several times."

The Empress Dowager smiled unabated, "The Emperor has always loved Qingfu very much, and now he specially ordered your biological mother to accompany you to take care of her. Even if you are busy at the beginning, you will not neglect your beloved daughter. You teach with your heart, so that Diji can be more clear to others. , Dragon Heart will speak loudly."

As soon as the queen mother opened her mouth, Concubine Jing's pretty face turned red. Because she had an incident while Xun Jieyu was in charge of the Sixth Palace, she was personally restrained by the emperor's brother. If it wasn't for the emperor's concubine who couldn't do without her biological mother this time, she really didn't have a share Come to escape the heat.But it feels better to hear it later, after all, there is a daughter, and the emperor will never forget her.

But after she mentioned it, the Empress Dowager also found that there were few people in the room, she gently put down the grapes in her hand, and asked, "Why don't you see Mrs. Xun, and Concubine Jin Gui, she is always the first to come?"

It was a coincidence that as soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xun Jieyu came in to pay her respects. I saw that her expression was a little unnatural, and before the Queen Mother could speak, I took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubine is not I came late on purpose, but it was because I heard that sister Xie Yu was not feeling well, so I rushed to see it with the emperor."

What she said, people can understand that the emperor's brother rested at her place yesterday, Concubine Jing was the first to start sour water, and said coolly: "I don't know what Xie's body is made of, so precious? Labour, Xiaozhu Xun accompanied the emperor to watch, Qingfu didn't have such a face last time when he had a fever."

Xun Jieyu's ruthlessness became even more unnatural, so she answered calmly, "The imperial physician said that sister Xie is pregnant with a dragon heir."
