Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Chapter 65: The Concubine's Strategy

Concubine Cheng turned around and turned back, feeling that the cold wind was getting stronger, so she had to quicken her pace to go to Changchun Palace.

Song Pingting was in the main hall of the Changchun Palace, and she was stuffing cotton into the tiger's head hat in her hand. She deliberately added more cotton, and from time to time compared it to the head of Yinyou, the seventh elder brother on the warm bed, and felt that it was quite good. Well, I just bowed my head and embroidered carefully stitch by stitch.

Suddenly, the door opened with a creak, and Song Pingting was shivering from the cold wind, but seeing that Concubine Cheng had returned, she hurriedly put down her work and went up to her, saluting, "Your Majesty came back a bit late today, But what happened?"

The door was hastily closed by the nimble maid, and the hall was warmed up a bit. Cheng Concubine went to the charcoal basin to warm up the fire, and said, "What else can it be? Concubine Tong Gui is majestic."

Song Pingting was a little worried, "Is your lady alright?"

Cheng Cong smiled and said, "Don't cause trouble, maybe it won't trouble you, just hide when you meet."

Song Pingting felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so kind."

Concubine Cheng felt that her body was warmed by the charcoal fire, so she took off her cloak and handed it to the serving maid, went to the warm couch to hug Seventh Brother, and said with a smile: "The heart is all wronged, It’s tempered only after being exhausted.”

He asked again: "When I'm not around, how good is Yinyou?"

Song Pingting said softly: "Seventh elder brother is very sensible, just now the wet nurse has just fed and fell asleep soon."

Concubine Cheng had the tenderness and love of a mother on her face, and said in a gentle voice: "A child of this age can only grow fast if he eats and sleeps too much! The clothes and hats from head to toe will soon become inappropriate again." Then she picked up Song Pingting's semi-finished tiger head hat that was placed on the table, and said with a smile, "This tiger's eyes are so beautifully embroidered, they are so vivid!"

"It would be even better if there are two more black pearls for eyes!" Song Pingting said with a smile.

Concubine Cheng patted the desk and laughed: "That's not true! I remember that Concubine Wen Xi gave a small box of black pearls as a reward a month ago, Ying'er, go and get it!"

The little court lady in light green clothes hastily took out a small red round box with lychee pattern from the makeup box of the concubine Cheng. When she opened it, she found a small box full of black pearls, each of which was smooth and round. They are as dark as eyes, although there are only a dozen of them, they are all exquisite.

Concubine Cheng personally selected two perfectly round black pearls of the same size, put them on the tiger hat for comparison, and then nodded in satisfaction.

There was a muffled thunder outside, and heavy snow began to fall to the ground, but the Changchun Palace was in a gentle and peaceful state.

At this time, the eunuch Xiao Pingzi suddenly came to report: "Greetings to the empress, and greetings to the young master! The nurse who is in charge of the imperial court has come, and the emperor has turned over the signboard of the young master Song today! Congratulations, the young master, the sedan chair is already waiting outside. "

Song Pingting put down the last stitch, and the tiger head hat that had been meticulously embroidered for half a day was finally completed. Mrs. Song looked at the concubine Cheng, not only was she not displeased at all, but she said with a touch of joy: "The emperor is willing to flip the sign. , it can be seen that the epidemic situation in Shandong has eased, so hurry up and don't let the sleeping mother wait."

Song Pingting got up and bowed respectfully to Concubine Cheng, "Yes."

The snow outside was falling heavily, and the night was already silent, hearing the sound of the snow falling to the ground, the osmanthus branches outside the hall creaked and creaked, making me think about it.Concubine Cheng looked at the sleeping Seventh Elder Brother, and didn't feel lonely any more, so she told the eunuch Xiaopingzi: "Hang two more lanterns outside the palace, you go and wait outside, and then ask the small kitchen to boil a bowl of thick rice wine." Ginger soup."

"Whoo!"

Less than half an hour after the order was given, Concubine Cheng heard voices outside the hall. She was a little puzzled as to why Song promised to come back so soon, so she put on her cloak and came out to have a look for herself.

Song Pingting walked slowly in the snow-covered world by herself, her feet creaking, and she didn't even have a maid to accompany her.Concubine Cheng hurried forward with an umbrella, and seeing Mrs. Song's face was bruised from the cold, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you come back in a sedan chair?!" The concubine of her status did not allow Take a sedan chair in the palace, but there is only one exception, that is, when you are sent to the servant's bedroom, there is a special sedan chair to pick you up and back.

Song Pingting's eyes were full of tears, her lips were so cold that she couldn't speak.Seeing this, Concubine Cheng hurriedly took off her cloak and put it on Mrs. Song, then stuffed the warm hand stove in her hand into Song Pingting's arms, and took her hand that was as cold as ice, "Quick, go into the room." Say it again!"

Song Pingting lived in the Xibei Hall, and Concubine Cheng had already ordered someone to heat up the room at night, and after entering the room, she asked someone to bring ginger soup for Song Xu to drink.Song promised to regain his strength, and began to cry uncontrollably, full of grievances and humiliation like a flood that broke through the dam, no matter how hard it flowed.

Concubine Cheng was also worried for her, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Song promised to cry, choked up, and said: "Concubine Tong Gui of Jingren Palace suddenly sent Eunuch Xu to Qianqing Palace to say, say—the fourth elder brother suddenly had a fever..., the emperor didn't even look at me, and left! Eunuch Xu also told Nurse Si, since I failed to attend bed, I don’t need to come back in the bed attendant’s sedan chair.” He cried even harder, his slender body trembling slightly, extremely weak and pitiful.

Concubine Cheng shook her head when she heard this, "Concubine Tong Gui is too..." It was a coincidence!The emperor finally flipped the sign, but the fourth elder brother suddenly had a fever?Song promised to be quite fond of Mulan since Mulan came back. Concubine Cheng always thought that as Concubine Tong, she would not embarrass a promise, but she didn't expect her to do such a thing!Concubine Cheng's anger grew stronger in her heart, did she really think that the entire harem was following her will? !

Concubine Cheng let out a long breath and said, "Just remember today's humiliation well! In my palace, you can cry as much as you want, and if you leave Changchun Palace in the future, you can just pretend that nothing happened." It happened! When you see Concubine Tong, you must be extremely respectful, so that she can't find a single fault!"

Song Pingting bit her lip, stopped crying for a while, nodded fiercely and said: "My concubine remembers!"

Concubine Cheng sighed: "The emperor is busy with other affairs at present, and he has no intention of paying attention to the harem. Concubine Tong is the highest-ranking concubine, and we can't afford to offend him!"

Song Pingting's eyes were red, and said: "I just hope that Concubine Wen Xi will lift the ban soon, and tell her not to be so arrogant!"

Concubine Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "How easy is that? It was the Empress Dowager who ordered Concubine Wen Xi to ground her feet. Without the permission of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Wen Xi could only keep her feet grounded."

Song Pingting has always been docile, it was the first time she hated someone so much, she gritted her teeth and said, "If she continues to be arrogant like this, sooner or later the Empress Dowager will not tolerate her!"

Concubine Cheng smiled, "You're right! And what we have to do is to make her more arrogant, so arrogant that the Empress Dowager cannot tolerate it, and then we will naturally lift the ban on Concubine Wen Xi to balance the power of Concubine Tong!"

After comforting Song Pingting for a while, she was told to sleep peacefully.

Dai Jia heard the sound of snow falling outside the hall, and suddenly said: "From now on, pay close attention to the movements of Jingren Palace and Yonghe Palace, De concubine concentrates on raising her baby, and may not be able to calm down as she wishes."

As the days went by, the little charcoal left was gone. Wen Xi looked at her hands that had grown fat from the cold, and sighed, her body was a bit too delicate. But in thick winter coats and the latest furs.

Qing Lan saw Wen Xi's frostbitten hands, and said: "Master, I'll make you some ointment, if you don't take good care of it, I'm afraid it will freeze and fester!"

Wen Xi smiled wryly, her hands looked like carrots, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, it was just unsightly, "Forget it, as long as it's so cold, you'll still have frostbite after it's cured!"

"By the way, how are Bu Guiren and Concubine Zhang Jiashu?" Wen Xi asked with her chubby hands tucked into her sleeves.

Song'er said: "According to the master's order, I have asked them to live in the same house for the time being. Fortunately, Xiaoluzi has been there so many times, and today I finally got some bamboo charcoal, but Chengqian Palace is so big, how can it be enough! "

If Wen Xi wanted to heal her hands, it would be too easy. Go to the space and soak in warm spring water and it would be fine. However, she kept her chubby hands for future use. How could she do that? wasted?

"What's going on in the Yonghe Palace?" Although Wen Xi also ordered people not to go out at will, except for those who want to go out to collect the extra money during the confinement, she still asked people to pay attention to the movements in other palaces.

Song'er replied: "I have kept the door behind closed doors to raise the baby, and there has been no movement."

"Master—" Zhu'er ran in quickly, "Concubine Tong's guard of honor just passed by the gate of Chengqian Palace and went to Yonghe Palace!"

Wen Xi finally showed a smile, and said: "I heard that the fourth prince suddenly had a high fever last night, and the emperor stayed in Jingren Palace all night. The emperor just went to court this morning, so she went to Yonghe Palace to find trouble for De Concubine?"
