Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 35 34. Newcomers ()

Chun Changzai touched her belly for a long time, feeling that it would be a bit magical if there was really a baby in her belly. Xia Dongchun was also amused by her ignorant look. Zhen Huan could see it. Xia Dongchun's belly seemed to be bigger than when she was pregnant with her sixth brother. However, everyone in the palace knew that Xia Dongchun's appetite had been much larger than before pregnancy, so Xia Dongchun still continued to eat more. I was given the excuse that I ate too much.

At the end of November, the queen held a plum blossom appreciation banquet in the palace and invited the concubines of the palace to participate. Naturally, the emperor was also invited. Although the queen was at fault and was deprived of her power, she was still the queen of the middle palace. For the sake of the queen mother, she Yongzheng also wanted to give her some thin noodles.

The powerful maids around the queen are now almost exhausted, especially after the emperor ordered to deal with Jianqiu, the queen became seriously ill. During her illness, she sent several apology letters to the Yangxin Hall. The emperor was a little soft-hearted after all. I went to Jingren Palace to see her several times, but never mentioned the need to restore her palace rights. The Queen Mother also mentioned it vaguely a few times, but the emperor dismissed her on the grounds that the Queen was weak and needed to rest. .

Now the Queen has to use the ones chosen by the Ulanala clan. I heard that the Queen Mother intends to send people around her to Jingren Palace, who are called to serve but actually to monitor. Naturally, the Queen is not willing and writes a letter to let the family choose. Someone sent it in.

I think the Queen Mother was also angry when she persecuted her concubine Long Si, but because of that relationship, even if the Queen Mother hated her for being vicious, she would still turn to the Queen. The Queen Mother would feel more at ease if someone was sent to serve the Queen and monitor her every move. It's just that the queen didn't buy her account.

Naturally, Xia Dongchun did not attend the Plum Appreciation Banquet, but the events at the banquet could not be concealed. Before the banquet was over, Xia Dongchun heard the news that there were two more mistresses in the palace. Fu promised and Rui promised that they were the queens. arranged.

It turned out that at the plum appreciation banquet, the queen specially arranged for the two of them to perform singing and dancing. The red plum trees were hidden under the bright lights, and the performance was unique. The emperor had already drank a few more glasses of wine with the concubines, and looked at the two swaying beauties contrasting with the folded red plums. Even though he knew that this was the queen's intentional arrangement, he happily accepted it.

The Queen said bluntly: Nowadays, Concubine Hui is in charge of palace affairs, Concubine Wan has just given birth, Concubine Chang and Concubine Shun are also pregnant, and it is inconvenient for them to serve the emperor. In order to share the worries of the sisters, and to open up branches for the royal family, she specially selected them. Two newcomers entered the palace to serve the emperor.

The emperor also felt that it was very satisfactory, so he immediately granted the two of them the title of Fu and Rui, and the queen arranged for the two of them to live together in Lingyuan Pavilion.

The Lingyuan Pavilion is just a small palace on the south side of the Imperial Garden, with a unique attic inside. It is quite compact for two people. But anyone with a discerning eye would know that the Queen made such an arrangement intentionally.

Xia Dongchun was not surprised when Shifu agreed to stay with her that night. The queen arranged for the two of them to enter the palace. Naturally, they came here to be favored. However, they still don't know the origins of these two newcomers.

It was late at night, Xia Dongchun had slept a lot during the day, and was not sleepy at this time, so he simply asked Mo Shuang and the four of them to sit together in the inner room to pass the time.

Ging Guo also said that he was a newcomer to the bed, and his master was upset, so he couldn't sleep. However, when he saw Xia Dongchun reclining leisurely on the imperial concubine's couch, he soon ate half a plate of tangerines as tribute from Hainan, and was forced to leave by Yu Xin. He only gave up after eating all the fruits and snacks on the table, then he knew that he was worrying too much. "Mother, the eldest son is on duty in the palace tonight, and we have just received news about Fu's promise and Rui's promise." Ginguo sat aside, chewing melon seeds, and said.

"Hurry up and tell me, your master, I've been waiting for a long time." Xia Dongchun held Yu Xin's hand, and at Yu Xin's forced request, he walked in the inner room to stretch his muscles. Living in the main hall has such benefits, It is spacious and quiet, and you can move your muscles in the inner room without being crowded at all.

"The eldest son said that there was a master from a branch of the Ulanala clan who was sent to the central Sichuan area to serve as a county magistrate. It was he who recommended Fu and Rui to send him to Beijing in person. He said he was from a wealthy local family with a daughter. Among them, the two with the most outstanding appearance and the most appropriate temperament were selected and sent to the palace. Fu promised that the family name would be Feng, and Rui agreed that the family name would be Ru. The fathers of the two young masters were among the top wealthy businessmen in the local area, and they donated money. Yuanwailang, I think it would be better to send the two young masters to the palace to pursue their dreams than to find a dandy young master at home to marry."

"In this case, those two people have clearly identified themselves as the queen. The palace will be very lively in the future. You guys will go down tomorrow. If you encounter people in the palace of Fu and Rui, please stay away. After all, we are leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and we won’t touch this bad luck for no reason.”

"My Majesty, you don't have to worry. Your Majesty is the head of the first palace. Even if you agree to the young master how to win the Queen's favor, you will not dare to offend the high-ranking people. If you really do it, not to mention your Majesty, even the slaves will not agree." Mo Shuang was the maid in charge of the Yanxi Palace. If she met a low-ranking concubine or someone below, the maid would be well-known for punishing them on the spot. This was the majesty of the maid next to the empress.

"Our queen is not afraid. I think she is more afraid of trouble. Now our young master has a noble status and will give birth to a prince in the future. Fu promised and Rui promised that they don't know how long it will take to catch up with our master. It's just these people's tricks. If they are not honest, it will always be troublesome if they are contaminated, so why should we be familiar with them." Yue Shan and Ging Guo were cracking melon seeds together, and Ging Guo responded: "That's right, there is no need to be afraid of them. A young master who was born as a merchant's daughter can still turn around. It’s impossible to go to heaven.”

Xia Dongchun only thought what the two said was interesting, and laughed so hard: "Look at these two girls, others don't know it, but they know that the hostess is you two. In this palace now, there is no place for me to talk, no?" Speaking of concubines, among concubines Hui and Wan, which one is not ranked first in this palace? But what you said is right. You don’t have to be afraid. It’s just that I, your master, have always been unwilling to get involved in right and wrong. There are those with evil intentions. People, just stay away."

Mo Shuang and Yu Xin were more prudent after all, but they calmly reminded Ging Guo and Yue Shan to be cautious. Xia Dongchun also knew that what they said was unrestrained, so she smiled and punished them for peeling walnuts.

Looking at Yue Shan, who was peeling walnuts and ginkgo fruits and laughing under the lamp, Xia Dongchun fell into deep thought.

Yueshan has a beautiful face, and there is no shortage of beauties in the palace, but Xia Dongchun still remembers her kindness in her previous life. When he first asked Yue Shan to come to Yanxi Palace, Bai Guo was worried that her appearance would be too outstanding. However, in the past year, whenever the emperor came to Yanxi Palace, Yue Shan would find an excuse to hide out, thinking that she was afraid of Xia Dongchun's taboo.
