The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 40.lost

Concubine Hua cleverly smiled and held Cao Guiren's hand, but with a knife in her mouth: "Why, does the princess only want to play with the emperor?"

Cao Guiren could hardly maintain the smile on his face: "The princess is not feeling well at night, and she hasn't gone out for the past two days except to go to the emperor's place in the afternoon."

"Although you are her own mother, you are just a little nobleman. The princess is ill, and it is inconvenient to raise her with you." Seeing that Mrs. Cao wanted to say something, Concubine Hua interrupted with a cold face. Send her to this palace to recuperate."

Only then did Cao Guiren panic, and he refused stammeringly: "Your Majesty, the princess cries in the middle of the night, which really disturbs your Majesty's rest. If your Majesty likes it, the concubine can bring her here at any time."

But Concubine Hua had already made up her mind, so there was no room for her to refute, she turned around and dressed herself up: "Songzhi, go and bring the princess here early tomorrow morning, don't wait for the sun to come up to bask in the princess. Let the nanny come along too. "

Songzhi glanced at Cao Guiren, bowed down and saluted: "Yes."

Cao Guiren was in a panic. She didn't think that Concubine Hua really wanted to take care of Wen Yi's illness. It was clear that today's matter failed. The emperor pays attention, secondly, I am afraid that he also has the intention of taking advantage of it.

Cao Guiren was very distressed, and he wanted to say more, Zhou Ninghai suddenly came in to report, with a panicked expression on his face: "Mother, Liu Duan has escaped!"

"What?" Concubine Hua slammed the hairpin in her hand on the table, turned her head and scolded, "It's useless, even a powerless imperial doctor can't solve it!"

Zhou Ninghai quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down, the servant has already sent someone to chase her."

Concubine Hua was furious: "It's fine if you didn't bring down Shenmeizhuang, but you still left such a disaster. If you catch up with us, you can kill him! Liu Duan knows too much about us, so he can't stay." She tried her best to calm her emotions, "Fu Ling's family members Is everything arranged?"

Zhou Ninghai couldn't stop the trembling of his body, swallowed, and replied: "The slave gave enough silver taels, and sent them out of Rehe overnight."

Concubine Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." But thinking about today's events, she felt panicked, "Could it be that Shen Meizhuang is really pregnant, and Fu Ling gave her more blood-activating things two days ago, This led to her miscarriage today. You go down to finish this matter, since Fu Ling is dead, let her bear all the crimes and don't make any more trouble." She looked at Cao Guiren through the mirror, with a tone of voice Sarcasm, "You can still handle this matter, right?"

Cao Guiren stiffly bent over and saluted: "Yes, my concubine knows."

The next day, Zhen Huan came to the Qinzheng Hall to answer the question, just as Concubine Hua came out of it, her face was full of joy. The incident of Shenmei Zhuang's miscarriage last night did not involve her at all, Zhen Huan's face froze for a moment, but soon returned recover.

"Mao Concubine Hua is blessed and safe." Zhen Huan saluted.

"Your Majesty Guan is also here to see the Emperor?" Concubine Hua said with a bright smile, "It's hard for you to come here under such a bright sun. Is Mrs. Hui all right last night?"

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes and replied: "Sister Mei woke up once in the middle of the night, and fell asleep after taking medicine from Dr. Zhang Tai. The concubine got up early and went to see her again. Sister Mei was still asleep. Sudden miscarriage, Mei Elder sister is very sad, and her body is not very refreshed, and my concubine is about to report this matter to the emperor."

Concubine Hua frowned indistinctly: "The emperor is busy with political affairs, so I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to listen to you talking about these things." At the end, she smiled and said, "The war in the northwest is not over yet, so the emperor will inevitably care about my brother. Then the palace came over and told the emperor one by one. Your Majesty Guan, what the emperor cares most about now, you should be able to figure it out, right?"

Zhen Huan was neither humble nor overbearing: "Concubine, remember."

At this time, Su Peisheng came out and asked Zhen Huan to go in: "Your Majesty, the Emperor knows you are coming, and he is summoning you."

Zhen Huan saluted Concubine Hua again, turned around and took the food box in Liu Zhu's hand, and walked into the Hall of Qinzheng.

The emperor's complexion was no longer pretty. Even if the Northwest won successive battles, he could not bear the pain of losing his son. Hearing Zhen Huan say that Shen Meizhuang was very sad, guilt filled his heart: "Huanhuan, I lost another child. I didn't have a child in my early years. I lost my eldest brother and second elder brother, and then lost many children one after another, is this God punishing me?"

Zhen Huan's heart twisted: "Your Majesty, what happened to Sister Mei was just an accident. At any rate, Xia Changzai is still pregnant with the Emperor's child. With the empress taking care of her, she will be safe and sound."

The emperor thought about Xia Dongchun, and finally felt a little relieved: "Xia Changzai is a lucky person, her child should be fine. I told the queen last night that she must take good care of her, and no more accidents will happen." Paused After a pause, he continued, "I originally thought that Mei'er was a good manager. After she gave birth to a child, I would let her help the queen to assist the sixth palace. Now..." The emperor sighed, "We will talk about it when she is better." Bar."

From what this meant, it seemed that she didn't want Concubine Hua to be the assistant to the Six Palaces anymore.

Zhen Huan's eyes flashed: "I'll just wait for my sister to give birth to Xiaoyue. Helping the empress with chores will keep my sister busy, and I'll forget about the pain of losing a child sooner."

The emperor hummed lightly.

"One more thing." Zhen Huan said again, "I went to Xianyue Pavilion to see sister Mei this morning, and saw that the flowers brought by the people from the House of Internal Affairs were all about to bloom, thinking that my sister might be sad when she woke up and saw it. The concubine thought, sister Mei suddenly lost her son, and everyone in the palace might think that the emperor detested her, so they couldn't wait to come and despise her, and asked the emperor to visit sister Mei tonight Bar."

The emperor slowly frowned: "People in the palace are used to worshiping the high and stepping on the low, so why do I detest Huigui? These slaves are really getting more and more unruly."

"Speaking of Eunuch Huang, the concubine thinks back to the time when she first entered the palace." Zhen Huan naturally knew who Huang Guiquan belonged to, so she started the old story, "At that time, the concubine was ill for several months. The people in the House of Internal Affairs were always contemptuous. That day, the concubine saw that the paint on the table was not good enough, so she asked Xiao Yunzi to go to the House of Internal Affairs to find someone to repair the paint. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Yunzi came back, he said that Eunuch Huang had a lot of things in the past few days. I'm busy, so I don't care about the concubine. The concubine knows that people speak lightly and dare not say anything, so this is over." She raised her eyes to see the emperor's expression, and continued, "The concubine is fine. It's just that sister Mei has already hurt her body, if she touches the scene and hurts her feelings, I don't know how long I'll be lingering on the sick bed."

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he tightly held the beads in his hand: "Huang Guiquan, I remember that he is a distant relative of Concubine Hua."

Zhen Huan pretended to be surprised: "The concubine doesn't know, it turns out that Eunuch Huang has such a background. The concubine made a slip of the tongue, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Naturally, the emperor would not blame her.

Although the emperor turned over the brand of Concubine Hua today, he set up the Xianyue Pavilion at night, when Shenmeizhuang was having dinner.

Looking at the simple porridge and side dishes on the table, the emperor was full of urgency: "How does the Ministry of Internal Affairs do things? Are these meals supposed to be for the nobles!" He said to Su Peisheng, "Go and ask the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and answer! "

Shen Meizhuang sat quietly on the bed, watching the emperor lose his temper.

In Xinghua Village, An Lingrong was embroidering a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, when he heard a report from Dou Kou, saying that Huang Guiquan had been dismissed by the emperor and punished him to serve in the Department of Punishment.

"Sister Wan moves very quickly." An Lingrong's fingers were sweating slightly, and she stopped her hands for fear of drowning the silk thread, "Concubine Hua knows, and I'm afraid I have to say something again. I'll get up early tomorrow and go to Taohuawu first." Pay your respects to the empress, and tell her about this matter."

Cardamom nodded: "The servant girl woke up the young master earlier."

An Lingrong got up to prepare dinner.

This was what she had discussed with Zhen Huan. Although she can't face Concubine Hua directly now, even if the emperor knows that Concubine Hua's handwriting is in it, he can't openly punish her, he can only hit her sideways.

Huang Guiquan has been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years, relying on himself as a distant relative of Concubine Hua, he has always been domineering.An Lingrong and Zhen Huan used him to stir up trouble, not only to remind the emperor that what happened last night was related to Concubine Hua, but also cut off one of Concubine Hua's arms.

The next morning, Concubine Hua really mentioned this matter: "Empress, my concubine got up early and heard something in a daze, saying that Huang Guiquan has broken things, and was sent to serve in the Punishment Department last night?"

"Isn't it? I don't care about some small things. The emperor went to Huigui's place last night. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Huigui's dinner was inappropriate, so he got angry and sent him out." The queen glanced at Concubine Hua , said slowly.

Hearing that the emperor went to Xianyue Pavilion last night, Concubine Hua felt a little unhappy, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be relaxed: "I thought it was a big deal, let him come back in a few days."

But the queen immediately said seriously: "There are no trivial matters in the palace. If you can not care about one drink and one food today, you will be negligent in everything in the future, and then you will humiliate the master." Looking at Concubine Hua meaningfully, she said, "What's more, the emperor called Huang Guiquan back and forth last night, and he faltered and couldn't say anything good or bad, so the emperor personally sent him off. Concubine Hua lightly said, 'In a few days Let him come back', but you have the intention of resisting the order?"

Concubine Hua opened her mouth to speak, but the queen said immediately: "I know that Huang Guiquan is your distant relative, and you should behave yourself in this matter." The queen smiled slightly and said deliberately, "Sister, you are kind, I don't think it's a big deal, but in the eyes of outsiders, his dirty tricks are all relying on your sister to do his best. In the end, not to mention hurting your sister's face, and making the emperor want to get angry and alienate her, it's not worth it. "

Concubine Hua thought for a while and replied with a smile: "The concubine just thinks that Huang Guiquan is used to taking care of the internal affairs, and he can't replace others temporarily, so I just said it casually, and there is no other meaning. Since it is the emperor's order, The concubine naturally has no objection."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs must not be left alone. The palace has already promoted the deputy director, Jiang Zhongmin, to be in charge." The queen announced, "Sister, you can rest assured."

"After all, she is the queen, and she does things with swiftness and resoluteness." Concubine Hua flattered her with a half-hearted smile.

After talking about this, Concubine Qi mentioned that the emperor turned over the sign of Concubine Hua last night, but went to Xianyue Pavilion after the end, and she laughed a lot.

"The emperor also has a temporary temperament." The queen said with a smile, "Didn't the emperor just go to Ronggui's place on a whim that day? Fortunately, he went, otherwise we don't know what happened?"

Concubine Qi didn't understand what the queen meant, but everyone else present did.

An Lingrong raised her eyebrows to hide the emotion in her eyes, Zhen Huan lightly raised the teacup and took a sip, Concubine Hua threw the fan aside with a stiff face, Cao Guiren covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice , even Xin Changzai noticed something unusual, so he shut up and kept silent.

Only Concubine Qi, as if she managed to grab Concubine Hua's tail, chattered endlessly: "If Concubine Hua stayed with the emperor in Qingliang Hall last night and didn't go to Xianyue Pavilion, the emperor would not have seen the food used by Huigui. Thinking about it, Huang Guiquan won't be so unlucky." She shook her fan lightly and smiled smugly.

"Okay, it's getting late, you all kneel down." The queen stopped talking and made everyone retreat.

After entering the side hall, the queen summoned Huichun and told everyone in the hall how they reacted.

"Guan Guiren and Rong Guiren really have a calm mind, especially Rong Guiren, who involved himself, and it's such a thing, he didn't show any emotion at all, which shows the depth of the city." Jian Qiu said slowly, "But fortunately, she Empress is very respectful."

The queen recalled An Lingrong's earlier remarks about "principal wife" and "concubine's room", and smiled slightly: "Most people in the palace today are from this palace, and Concubine Hua only relies on Nian Gengyao. When the time comes, I will deal with her as easily as crushing an ant."

Speaking of Nian Gengyao, Jian Qiu was worried again: "Madam, General Nian has a very high prestige these days, I heard that General Nian is very flattering in the northwest, and the emperor also attaches great importance to him, and even rewarded him with a yellow jacket. "

Hearing this, the queen's face darkened again, and her smile disappeared inch by inch.
