The Concubine's Biography of the Concubine Seizing the Palace

She did this for two purposes, first, to tell the Empress that she never had any second thoughts about her, and never wanted to snatch the emperor away, and the second was to see if the emperor was sincere to her. , in order to determine how to go on in this palace in the future. 【 】

49 days, neither long nor short, can make people see many things clearly and identify many things.

Chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures is not an easy task. Wei Ning'er set up a small Buddhist hall in a side hall in the back garden of Zuixin Garden. After reading scriptures and books quietly in it for two days, she felt sore all over her body.

"My lord, let's take a rest first!" Bing Ruo said with some distress.

Wei Ning'er shook her head, and said softly: "I have never read scriptures before, but now I feel that there is a lot of knowledge in it!"

"The servant girl doesn't know a few words at all, so she can't understand!" Bing Ruo shook her head.

"I gradually understand, later on I will chant scriptures and pray for my mother, so don't bother me." Wei Ning'er ordered.

"Yes!" Bing Ruo stepped back immediately.

Just a few days after Wei Ning'er went to the Buddhist hall, rumors gradually spread in Tiandi's family, saying that the empress was jealous of her concubine being favored and frightened her concubine, so she avoided the emperor by chanting sutras and praying to avoid the empress' empress's grudge.

After Chu Xia and the others heard about it, they immediately informed the queen.

"Chu Xia, you said that Ning'er went to pray for the palace this time, because she was really afraid that the palace would hate her, and deliberately avoided the palace and the emperor?" The queen fell into deep thought when she heard the words, and asked her side for a while. early summer.

"Your Majesty, your concubine is already smart. She can see many things clearly, and she naturally understands the scruples and worries in your Majesty's heart. She is doing this now because she wants your Majesty to feel at ease!" Chu Xia replied with some fear.

"While she is going to pray for blessings, my palace should also be quiet. In early summer, let the small kitchen make more vegetarian dishes, send them to your concubine, and then make some of her favorite snacks!" The queen said softly.

"Yes, empress!" Chu Xia sighed slightly in his heart, the empress would not let her concubine go.

In Yimengxuan, Concubine Xian was feeding the fifth elder brother with her own hands. After listening to Mu Yun's report, she didn't raise her head, as if she didn't care. After the fifth elder brother finished eating and was taken away by the mother, she said: "Mu Yun, who sent the news?"

"The slaves don't know, it's all the slaves who spread the word!" Mu Yun replied.

"This palace believes that the concubine is not like this. She is the queen's confidant. The queen can accommodate so many women in the palace. Could it be that she can't accommodate her?" Concubine Xian said disapprovingly.

"Your Majesty, are you saying... This is the intention of the empress and concubine Ling?" Mu Yun asked in surprise.

"I don't know about this palace, but if the concubine really fights with the queen, that would be fine." Concubine Xian laughed.

"Then do you want to add more fire?" Mu Yun asked.

"No need for now, let's have a look first!" Concubine Xian shook her head.

The rumors and gossips in the palace naturally spread to the emperor's ears, but the emperor didn't say a word about the matter, as if it had never happened, he still went to see the queen every day, and spent half of a month in the palace. Queen's there.

Days passed and it was the third day of the seventh lunar month, and Wei Ning'er had locked herself in the Buddhist hall for a month.

The concubine Ling who was originally extremely favored and attracted much attention suddenly seemed to have disappeared, and even the concubines in the palace didn't remember her much.

Only the queen personally ordered the small kitchen to make vegetarian food and snacks for Wei Ninger every day, and the person who delivered the vegetarian food changed from a little eunuch at the beginning to Cheng Bi, and finally Chu Xia went in person.

Wei Ning'er saw it in her eyes and roughly understood what the queen meant. Her hard work this month was finally not in vain.

On this day, the emperor still sat on Long Yu to go to the Empress's Bishuiyuntian. When passing through Zuixin Garden, the eunuchs carrying Long Yu stopped as if they knew what the emperor wanted.

The emperor looked at Zuixinyuan quietly, and said after a while, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" Wu Shulai nodded, then signaled the eunuchs to leave quickly.

A few days ago, every time the emperor passed by Zuixin Garden, he had to stop the servants, and over time, everyone formed a habit.

"Wu Shulai, the concubine's Ama is in charge of the fifth rank!" the emperor suddenly asked.

"Report to the emperor, that's right!" Wu Shulai replied.

"Has the eldest lady of the Wei family ever had the title of imperial order?" the emperor asked with a slight frown.

"The concubine's mother, Wei Qingtai, was not wrong when he was working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he was also good at martial arts, so the eldest wife of the Wei family never had the title of imperial order!" Wu Shu replied.

When the emperor heard the words, he pondered for a moment before saying: "I pass on my will, and the sixth wife of the Wei family, Mrs. Huang, will be named a third-rank gentleman."

According to the Imperial Conferment System of the Qing Dynasty, only the grandmother, mother, and wife of an official can be canonized if they have made meritorious service. From the first rank, the grandmother, mother, and wife of the second rank official are each conferred on their wives; from the third rank, the grandmother, mother, and wife From the fourth rank, the mother and wife are each granted to the respectful person; from the fifth rank, the mother and wife are each granted to the Yiren; from the sixth rank, the mother and wife are granted to the Anren.

Wu Shulai heard the words and looked at the emperor in shock. These days, the emperor has never mentioned the concubine Ling, but Wu Shulai knows that the emperor has never let go of it in his heart. Originally, he planned to wait for the 49th day to persuade Ling secretly. Concubine admits to the emperor's mistake, who knows that now the emperor himself will give in first.

"Choose something else to reward together!" the emperor said again.

"Yes, I obey the order, I will do it now!" Wu Shulai replied.

"Let's go, go to the small Buddhist hall in the back garden!" The emperor ordered after pondering for a moment.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai was overjoyed and replied repeatedly.

"I look at you as if you are more anxious than me?" The emperor looked at him with a half-smile.

"How can that be? Your majesty, you are thinking of your concubine because your wife likes the emperor. The slaves are thinking of your concubine because your wife is kind to us slaves!" Wu Shulai said quickly.

"Hmm..." The emperor gave him a deep look, and replied lightly.

Wu Shulai was startled and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this servant is telling the truth."

The emperor nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, which made Wu Shulai very upset.

When he arrived outside the Small Buddha Hall, the emperor did not ask anyone to inform him. He stood outside and looked at Wei Ning'er who was kneeling on the futon. The slightest longing for the past few days suddenly burst out at this moment.

Only now did the emperor know that it wasn't that he didn't miss her, but that he deliberately suppressed her, and deliberately let himself forget and ignore her. It was only when he saw her that he realized that everything was in vain.

I haven't seen her for a month, but she seems to have calmed down. The emperor felt a pain in his heart, and was about to go in, but saw Wei Ning'er had finished reciting the scriptures and was standing up from the futon. Maybe it was because she had knelt for too long, her legs were numb, and she was halfway up when she got up. Suddenly, he staggered and fell forward.

"Be careful!" Bing Ruo and Qing Yan, who were beside Hou Zai, were shocked. Both of them were about to reach out to support Wei Ning'er, but they saw a bright yellow figure flashing in front of them. When they looked closely, the little master was already hugged by the emperor. arms.

Wei Ning'er stared blankly at the emperor, at a loss as to what to do.

"Ning'er, you've lost weight!" The emperor gently stroked her face and said softly.

Wei Ning'er only felt a slight soreness in her nose, and mist flickered in her eyes, so she turned her head away immediately.

"Still angry with me?" the emperor asked with a sigh.

"It's my fault that I dare not dare!" Wei Ning'er said after taking a deep breath.

The emperor laughed and said: "I remember, when Ning'er used me as a bodyguard, she once told me that your mother-in-law is a concubine of the Wei family. I forgot."

When Wei Ning'er heard the words, she turned her head and looked at the emperor with disbelief in her eyes... He actually remembered?

Even Wei Ning'er herself couldn't explain clearly, when the emperor said that she would reward Mrs. Wei that day, she was actually angry, angry that the emperor had forgotten.

"Your Majesty, you have a lot of things to do every day. Naturally, you can't remember these trivial matters. You were originally a concubine that day!" Wei Ning'er said softly.

"The matter of Ning'er, no matter how small it is, is extremely important, and I will definitely remember it clearly in the future!" The emperor laughed.

Wei Ning'er's heart trembled when she heard the words, she said she didn't dare to move, it was a lie, but at this moment, what could she do, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, this concubine is praying for your mother, Your Majesty! Get out quickly, or the Lord Buddha will blame you!"

"I won't go out!" The emperor hugged her even tighter.

Wei Ning'er's pretty face blushed slightly, and she had to give up after earning a few times in vain.

The emperor gently pushed back the thin hair on her forehead, and said softly: "Why bother to torture yourself."

Wei Ning'er laughed and said, "Where is the torture? Believe it or not, Your Majesty, my concubine can memorize the Lotus Sutra and the Diamond Sutra from beginning to end verbatim!"

The emperor was slightly taken aback, then laughed out loud: "My Ning'er is such a little fool!"

"The concubine is not stupid." Wei Ning'er took the opportunity to break free from the emperor's embrace, took two steps back, and said with a smile.

The emperor looked at her, feeling a little helpless.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. Your Majesty should not come to Zuixin Garden to meet your concubines before seven or seventy-nine days arrive. Even if you come, your concubines will not be able to see you!" Wei Ning'er laughed.

"Okay, I'm not coming!" The emperor had no choice but to nod, and said to Wu Shu after he left Zuixin Garden, "Why was I led away by this girl?"

When Wu Shulai heard the words, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and after being glared at by the emperor, he couldn't hold back his laughter, but his whole body was trembling.

"Wu Shulai, from today onwards, the fresh fruits that will be tributed to me will be selected first and delivered to the concubine Ling." The emperor gave Wu Shulai instructions after he boarded Long Yu.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Shulai replied.

For several days in a row, when the emperor passed by Zuixin Garden, he still asked the servants to stop. Once he couldn't hold back, and went to the small Buddhist hall in the back garden, but saw that the door of the Buddhist hall was closed, so he had to leave.

On this day, the queen went to Zuixin Garden in person and ordered someone to open the door of the Buddhist hall.

"Your Majesty, why are you here!" Wei Ning'er looked at the Empress in surprise, and then asked Bing Ruo to help her up from the futon, and wanted to salute, but the Empress said: "Forget it, let me go to the main hall with my palace!"

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er replied, and then left the Buddhist hall.

"You all retreat!" When they arrived at the main hall, the queen immediately retreated everyone.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Wei Ning'er asked after the servants retreated.
