The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 54.sue

When Zhou Ninghai retreated, he happened to bump into Chunchang. Seeing her carelessly skipping and walking into the main hall, Zhou Ninghai's eyes sank involuntarily, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Sister Wan, Sister Rong!" Chun Chang trotted in before anyone arrived, "The empress said that a chrysanthemum appreciation conference will be held next month. Come to inform the two elder sisters that it will be on October [-]th." After entering, she saw the clothes in Cui Jinxi's hands at a glance, and immediately leaned over them, "Huh? Isn't this the Shu brocade sent to Concubine Hua's Palace? ? Why are you here with my sister?"

Zhen Huan looked sad, but it was An Lingrong and Chunchang who explained.

"Let me take a look." Chunchang took the clothes in his hands, shook them open and looked carefully, "This clothes are so beautiful, why is Sister Guan not happy after taking the clothes?" She looked at Zhen Huan, then at her hands clothes, with a puzzled look on his face, "What kind of flower is this? I haven't seen it before."

Zhen Huan looked up, her expression changed slightly, and she paused for a long time before she said, "This is...Xi Yan, Morning Glory."

For some reason, the face of King Guojun suddenly flashed in Zhen Huan's mind, and the conversation with him that night on Qixi Festival, every word and every word, was still in her ears.She began to reflect on whether her feelings for the emperor were wrong at the beginning. If the love in this world cannot be consistent, the ending may not be happy. Once felt the coldness of the emperor, although the emperor still treated her very well, she still couldn't help being afraid.

Therefore, since returning to the palace, Zhen Huan kept away from the emperor intentionally or unintentionally, but the emperor turned around and found out that something was wrong with her.

Zhen Huan recalled the conversation with the emperor that day...

……

"Huanhuan, is there something that makes you unhappy? You always seem to have something on your mind when you come back from the palace." The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and asked seriously.

Zhen Huan immediately replied: "No, the emperor did not make the concubine unhappy. It's just that the emperor dotes on the concubine too much, and the concubine will be a little afraid." She paused, and then said, "Huanhuan is afraid that the emperor is just doting."

"Love and pet, this pet is love." The emperor comforted, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"What if you dote but don't love?" Zhen Huan blurted out, feeling inappropriate the moment the words landed, and said hastily, "Maybe the emperor treats Huan Huan as an exception. As long as there is a little love among many pets, Huan Huan will be very happy gone."

After hearing this, the emperor just laughed lightly: "That's silly."

……

Thinking of the sentence that King Guojun said that night, "If you treat someone sincerely, you must love him and don't make him feel sad." If there is something wrong, she just chuckled: "It's not just you, I can't understand what she's thinking."

"Everything that happens suddenly must be weird." An Lingrong reminded.

Chun Changzai didn't think so, he just smiled and said, "Sister Wan's dress and those Shu brocade shoes match well, isn't it? At the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference next month, my sister will definitely stand out in this outfit. "

Zhen Huan was smiling at Chun Chang without saying a word, and turned to look at An Lingrong.

"I'll ask Dou Kou to keep an eye out for the next few days to see if she's doing anything." An Lingrong understood.

"Thank you, I'll thank Doukou in person some other day." Zhen Huan shook An Lingrong's hand and said with a smile.

On the other side, Concubine Hua was ready to trip Zhen Huan. She dressed up intentionally and came to Shoukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother. Behind her, Song Zhi was holding a black cloak.

"My concubine pays her respects to the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed and safe." Concubine Hua saluted the queen mother with a smile.

"Get up." The Empress Dowager put on a mask-like smile, and looked at Concubine Hua lovingly, "Why are you free today?"

"Serving the Empress Dowager is the duty of the concubines. The emperor is busy with government affairs, and the concubines should be filial to the empress dowager on behalf of the emperor." Concubine Hua said with a high-sounding sound, and the smile on her face became softer and softer.

The queen mother couldn't help laughing in her heart, the words were even better than the songs, and I haven't seen you here a while ago.With Shen Meizhuang in front of her, Concubine Hua's ulterior motives for drinking are more obvious today, but the queen mother can guess a little bit, for Nian Gengyao, she also wants to show some kindness for the emperor : "The little mouth is getting sweeter."

Concubine Hua chuckled, leaned forward and asked with concern: "After autumn, the night is extremely cold, does the Queen Mother still cough?" Then she said, "The concubine is thinking about the Queen Mother who has always been afraid of the cold, so I specially sent someone to make a fox fur cloak. Come." He raised his hand to signal Song Zhi to carry the things up.

The Queen Mother looked at the cloak that Zhu Xi took over, and at a glance she saw that it was Mohu's fox fur, which was expensive and warm as spring when wrapped around her body. It was indeed a good thing.

"The concubine's elder brother was fighting the chaos in Qinghai, and accidentally got two ink fox furs. The concubine thought that she was young and couldn't wear the atmosphere of the ink fox, so she made a big cloak and presented it to the queen mother." Concubine Hua Xuxu said. "The concubine knew that the queen mother devoted herself to worshiping Buddha, so she specially forged the lining with passion flower pattern makeup, and hoped that the queen mother would not despise the concubine's clumsiness." Concubine Hua didn't think there was anything wrong.

"It's rare for you to have such filial piety." The gift was delivered to the Empress Dowager's heart, and the Empress Dowager also showed a sincere smile. She couldn't help but look at Concubine Hua's outfit today, "Why are you dressed so plainly today?"

This question was in the heart of Concubine Zhonghua, she pretended to be reserved and smiled, and said modestly: "Although the concubine is young and ignorant, she is not young in the generation of concubines, so she is naturally more pure." Yu Feng Turning around, she showed her usual arrogance, "I don't want Guan Guiren and Rong Guiren, I like young and charming ones."

The queen mother became a little curious: "I often hear you talking about noble people from Guan, Aijia only remembers that his appearance is quite pleasant." She only vaguely remembered that she looked somewhat similar to Chun Yuan.

Concubine Hua's eyes flickered, and she said, "It's a pity that the queen mother hasn't seen you in the past few days! The emperor gave you a pair of Sichuan brocade shoes woven with gold and carved flowers. Even the soles are made of emerald jade. The nobleman made two more Shu brocade flag outfits, and those ones are so beautiful to wear!" She said that Zhen Huan was too extravagant.

"Really?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "But Ai Jia remembers that now is not the time for Shu brocade to enter the palace."

Concubine Hua smiled knowingly, and while drinking tea, she explained meaningfully: "Guan nobleman is young and lovely, why would he not have it if he wanted it? I just don't know how much this Shu brocade is worth."

When the Queen Mother heard it, how could she not understand Concubine Hua's thoughts, she wanted to use her own hands to vent her anger.She couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "She just entered the palace and the emperor treats her like a child, so he will naturally favor her more. You have to be loved by the emperor for many years and know how to measure it. You should mention it." Who is the most extravagant in this palace? No one can compare to Concubine Hua. If she insists on such a trivial matter, the source of it may still fall on the emperor.

The corners of Concubine Hua's mouth stiffened for a moment, feeling a little unhappy in her heart: "Yes."

Seeing Concubine Hua's reluctance, the Empress Dowager had to coax her: "According to Ai's family, you are the most important thing in the emperor's heart. The Huanyi incense you use is the spice that the emperor personally selected and asked someone to match it for you. , look at the whole palace, who did the emperor put his mind on?" Then he smiled and asked Concubine Hua to come up to her, took off the step rock on her head, and put it in Concubine Hua's hair, "This step The shake was given to you by the Empress Dowager Xiaohui when the Ai family first became a concubine, you are at such a beautiful age, and you have a noble status, why are you dressed so plainly, in the eyes of the Ai family, this step is just right for you to wear."

Concubine Hua was rewarded by the Empress Dowager, and the stagnant anger in her heart was relieved a little: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your love."

"The Ai family loves you just like the emperor." The queen mother said softly, "Hurry up and change into a different color of clothes, and show the emperor a good look."

Concubine Hua left contentedly.

As soon as she left, the Empress Dowager smiled and asked Zhu Xi to light the sandalwood, and Zhu Xi smiled lightly: "The Empress Dowager also thinks the room is too sour, so she needs to drive it away."

The queen mother sighed: "It's a common thing to be jealous in the harem, is there any need to make a fuss?" After a few words, she said a few words about the emperor's fault, "A lot of age, without consideration, let the Ai family Worry about it." Thinking of the powerful Nian family and Nian Gengyao's military exploits, the Empress Dowager ordered, "Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and tell him that the emperor has finished his political affairs and asked him to come over."

It's not that the queen mother wants to show face to the Nian family. Both Nian Gengyao and Longkodo are important ministers who have made great contributions to the dragon. They are not people on the same boat, but they are also in a relationship where all are prosperous and all are hurt.The Queen Mother and Long Kedo had a relationship in the past, so it is natural to make long-term plans for him.

In the evening, the emperor came to pay his respects to the queen mother, and talked about the nobleman of Guan.Seeing all the protection in the emperor's words, the queen mother can also understand. After all, she has the affection of pure yuan, and it is only natural to treat her differently. Just looking at it like this, it seems that this nobleman is indeed somewhat extraordinary. The queen mother could not help remembering it in her heart, thinking about when to see her well.

The queen mother talked about the concubines in the harem again: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, and he hasn't seen her for three or four days. How often do you see the concubine Hua, the queen, and the concubines? Since the emperor is busy, It’s fine if they are rare in the Sangong and Six Courtyards, but if they appear too close, it will hurt the hearts of the concubines.”

The emperor moved his mouth and pondered for a while.

It is indeed rare to say that a queen respects a concubine, but why is it so rare to say that a concubine Hua is so rare?Shiliu just went to her palace last month, and went to have dinner a few days ago. As for relatives, it seems that she has not favored the nobles of Wan alone recently. order him?
The emperor swept his gaze and landed on the black fox cloak inside, and immediately understood: "Such a good black fox fur is probably only found in Qinghai."

"The emperor is so clear-sighted. It's so dark in the palace that he can clearly see the fur of the ink fox. Naturally, the government affairs in the harem are very clear." The queen mother seized the opportunity and praised Concubine Hua with connotation. I understood, nodded, and said, "Except for the use of grace and power on the court, the harem is the same. Now there are some finishing touches left in the Northwest pacification, but the southwestern chieftain is still a confidant, and it will take a lot of trouble to stabilize it." Nian Gengyao is talented and loyal, as long as such a hero does not become arrogant, the emperor should make good use of him."

When it came to government affairs, the emperor felt a little grudged, but he still nodded his head: "It's a great achievement to pacify Xifeng. In October, Nian Gengyao will come to Beijing to have an audience, and my son will definitely reward him well."

The Empress Dowager felt at ease, and she talked about Huanyixiang again: "This incense is cumbersome to make and hard to get. Is the emperor no longer rewarding her?"

Huanyixiang is an important symbol of Concubine Hua's exclusive favor. She is the only one who can use it in the Six Palaces. The production of spices is extremely cumbersome and the materials used are extremely precious. Among them, musk is a rare and precious variety.Concubine Hua has been infusing this fragrance for many years, her skin has been destroyed long ago, and she has no possibility of childbearing. It's a pity that she yearns for a child so much, but she doesn't know that she has already been plotted by the person next to her pillow.

A dark light flashed across the emperor's eyes, and he lowered his eyes: "She has been used to it for so many years, so naturally I want to reward her."

The empress dowager's heart was slightly touched, maybe it was the rare gentleness of Concubine Hua that touched her today and made her feel soft, or maybe it was because she had read too many Buddhist scriptures, and she became merciful: "I heard from Aijia, you will remember Wen Yi In the name of Concubine Duan?" Seeing the emperor nodding, he said, "That's good, it can be regarded as making up for the injustice of the crime she committed back then."

The emperor thought of the past, and unconsciously turned cold.

Concubine Hua was indeed pregnant with a child when she was a side Fujin of the palace, but the emperor saw Nian Gengyao's ambition hidden in respect and took precautions early on.Thinking, it would be fine if Concubine Hua was pregnant with a daughter, but it happened to be a boy.

If the Nian family had a prince in their hands, it would be uncertain whether the surname of Jiangshan was Nian or Aixinjueluo.After hesitating for a while, the emperor reluctantly killed Concubine Hua's child.The bowl of abortion medicine was mixed by the empress herself, and delivered by Concubine Duan to Concubine Hua—because Concubine Duan is kind and kind, Concubine Hua only trusts her a little bit.

Going down with a bowl of medicine ruined Concubine Hua's child and also ruined her friendship with Concubine Duan, so far she has put this debt on Concubine Duan's head.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, the emperor sat in a palanquin and drove towards Yikun Palace. On the way, he told Su Peisheng: "Go to Suiyuxuan and send a message to Ronggui. I will go to her to have breakfast tomorrow." .”

Su Peisheng responded and hurried to go.

　I suddenly found out that I was tipped for two days this month. Because it was not from the Q reading channel, there was no reminder in the background. I only saw it when I checked the daily report.

　　Today I made up for these two rewards and updates.
