Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2400: Madness (Bi)

In June, as the heat grew stronger, everyone in the harem changed into gauze gowns, and the dignitaries in the inner court also changed into hairpins made of jade.

The wrists and the lapels of the skirts have also begun to be replaced with various strings of summer fragrances.

Wanxi's belly was already showing, and because she changed into thin clothes, she couldn't hide it anymore.

On the second day of June, the emperor went to Changchun Garden to pay his respects to the empress dowager, and in front of everyone, he made public the news of Wanxi's happiness.

The Empress Dowager knew it already, so she just nodded with a smile at this moment; but all the dignitaries in the inner court who were caught off guard couldn't be relieved for a long time.

They are all women, especially Nalashi, Concubine Yu, Concubine Xin and others who have given birth to themselves. Who wouldn't calculate Wanxi's confinement days based on Wanxi's figure?This counts as the emperor's tour to the south... It turns out that the emperor actually asked Concubine Ling to have a child during the tour to the south!

Nala couldn't help sneering, "According to the days, the concubine's pregnancy should have been in March or April, right? It's still far away from the emperor's return to Luan in May. Concubine Ling went back to the capital first to take care of her, but she asked Concubine Ling to follow the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River for a month or two~~"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, Wanxi raised his eyes to meet the emperor's eyes, and just smiled faintly.

This meeting is in front of the empress dowager. Last time, the empress dowager beat Wanxi again with the difference between the concubine and concubine and the distinction between Man and Han. There is no need for Wanxi to compete with the Nala family at this moment. This time is short.

Yuqin listened by the side but smiled, nodded and said: "The empress always regards the south of the Yangtze River as a treacherous road, and she always feels that the south of the Yangtze River is full of hardships and dangers? Even though the imperial concubine conceived on the southern tour road, when the emperor is by the side Naturally, everything is safe; secondly, the boat is sailing smoothly, there is a large camp on the shore, and there are accompanying imperial physicians to take care of it, even if it is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, what's the problem?"

Yuqin squinted at Nala, "Both the emperor and the empress dowager regard the southern tour as a royal ceremony, and this southern tour is the emperor's trip for the empress dowager's 70th birthday. Everyone is very happy. The empress did not Being so careful all the way, it surprised me."

Wanxi looks back at Yuqin with a smile.

When Nala saw it, she felt even more annoyed.

"I knew that as long as Jiangnan was mentioned, Concubine Qing would be the first to speak up. That's right, Concubine Qing is a Han woman in Jiangnan after all. Whenever someone says something about Jiangnan, it's like touching the foundation."

Nala said with a loud smile, "Concubine Qing, you don't have to be nervous, I didn't say anything wrong with you Jiangnan this time. I just cherish the body of the noble concubine Ling, and the more important thing is the safety of the emperor's heir..." Concubine Qing, you are still in love with Concubine Ling, why can’t you understand the point now? You don’t have to focus on protecting your Jiangnan, but forget to take care of Concubine Ling’s body and the emperor’s heir!”

Before Nala's words were finished, Wanxi reached out to hold Yuqin's hand, smiled and shook her head at Yuqin.

Why bother, this is in front of the empress dowager, whenever such a topic is mentioned, the empress dowager always supports Nala's going.

Yuqin pursed her lips tightly and stared at Wanxi for a while, unable to calm down.

When the emperor over there heard this, he smiled lightly, "The empress is indeed an empress, and everything is for the sake of the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir."

Although these words were the emperor's compliment, Nala wanted to frown, feeling that the emperor had something to say.

But the emperor stopped talking at this point and stopped abruptly, forcing Nala to stand up and thank him.

She smiled reluctantly, "Look at what the emperor said, this is what a concubine should do."

The emperor nodded and smiled at the empress dowager, "Although the empress said that she knew that Concubine Ling was pregnant with the emperor's heir, she definitely didn't mean to argue with Concubine Qing in front of Concubine Ling...Concubine Ling is also a tolerant person, so she won't Take it to heart."

Standing there, Nala's cheeks suddenly became hot.

The empress dowager couldn't hear the teasing in her son's mouth, but she was helpless, she glanced at Nala, and then sighed, "The empress has good intentions, she feels sorry for the concubine and the child, so she can't help but blame the emperor twice That's all."

Wanxi stood up with a smile, "What the empress dowager said is true. I thank the empress for her compassion."

Even with the empress dowager protecting her, Nala still had nowhere to vent her resentment... What she hated wasn't Concubine Qing's contradictory, after all, what she hated was Wanxi who had another child! .
Nala is still lucky, after all, she is the queen of the main palace, so she can explode on the spot.And although Concubine Xin said that her heart had already been pierced by ten thousand steel needles, she could only bear it in front of everyone at that moment!

After returning to Yuanmingyuan and entering her bedroom, she grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground.

"I was fooled by her again! I thought it was Concubine Yu...how could it be her in the end!"

Concubine Yu was originally a quiet person, and after returning to Beijing, she seldom went out to walk around, which made it difficult for Concubine Xin to find out the truth.

Besides, concubine Yu lived with Yuqin, Yuqin tried her best to control the mouths of the palace people in order to keep Wanxi;

Concubine Xin didn't want Wanxi to be happy at first, but in her heart she was more willing to believe that Concubine Yu was happy; coupled with her worries for peace during the month she came back, she was completely kept in the dark !
Looking back now, she felt like a fool!
"Okay, okay, they teamed up again to hide everything from me!" Concubine Xin gritted her teeth, "I'm the one who wants to regain my favor this time on the southern tour, but in the end it's her who has a child again, so I don't care Brother-in-law is dead!"

She looked up to the sky and yelled angrily, "God, you are so biased! What kind of virtue and ability does she have, why did she get such favor from you? How did I offend you and make you be so mean to me?!"

Concubine Xin roared with all her strength, and when the roar was over, all the strength in her body was exhausted, her legs and feet went limp, she couldn't step on the flag shoes that were seven or eight inches high, her ankle sprained, and she sat on the ground sadly land.

Both Le Rong and Le Yi were shocked, one left and one right ran up to hug Concubine Xin.

"Master's condolences...Master, you must not really hurt your heart...Let alone, you will feel resentful towards God."

"Even if I asked Concubine Ling to go as she wished, it doesn't mean that the master has no chance to go. After all, the master is still young, ten years younger than Concubine Ling, and the master still has ten years... so what You can still count on it~"

Concubine Xin reluctantly sat down with the support of Le Rong and Le Yi, but she still couldn't stand up and was trembling all over.

"I just don't understand, I don't understand... If it is said that when she was young, the emperor favored her, but how old is she this year, and the emperor went to Jiangnan, but he still only cares about her?"

"What kind of tricks does she have to confuse the emperor's heart, and she has been the emperor for so many years, and she is still the same to her?!"

Le Rong also said sadly, "She must have wrists...but so what if she has wrists, she is getting old, and she will eventually be old and unable to do what she wants one day! Master, even if you wait patiently, you will definitely wait for that day .”

Concubine Xin sadly looked up at the sky again, "...You guys said, I shouldn't feel resentful towards God. I don't want to either! But you also know that the imperial concubine has been 30 since she gave birth to her first child. She is so old! Her physical foundation was not good back then, otherwise she would not have been able to give birth at the age of 30; but why is she so old that she can still conceive a child until this year?"

"It's not that God is partial to her. What else can it be? A woman in the harem is lucky to have a child, but she just keeps going. It's not God's partiality. What else can it be?" ? Tell me!"

Le Yi said sadly, "If I want to tell you, it's because of the emperor...the emperor is the son of heaven, so why isn't the will of the heavens the emperor's will?"

Concubine Xin listened blankly, then smiled sadly, "Yes, you are right..."

"With her body, it's not easy for her to conceive. If she wants to conceive a child, the emperor will have to spend twice as much time and effort on her! ... It's useless for me to resent God, I should still resent the emperor She is so old, and now she is haggard, why is the emperor willing to spend time on her, and give her so much effort, huh?"

Le Rong calmed down first.

She tried her best to help Concubine Xin get up, and sat back on the kang.

"Actually, why does the master still care about the concubine Ling's child? What the master can't let go of is that the concubine Ling has to go on a tour to the south and spoil the master's good deeds."

Concubine Xin was caught by Le Rong's calmness, so she stopped hysterical and squinted at Le Rong.

She pondered Le Rong's words in her heart, then nodded slowly, "You are right, this child is not the first child, let alone the first prince... She already had a princess before her." , and also have a prince, and now that these few have survived the vaccination steadily, so why does it matter what she is pregnant with now?"

"I'm just angry that she used her wrists again to snatch the emperor's favor during her southern tour and spoil my good deed... But in the final analysis, whether she has this child or not has no effect on me. "

Le Rong smiled slowly, "I feel that the concubine has this child, which has an impact on the master... The master thinks, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, so she will not be able to sleep for several months. The master's Opportunity came instead."

Concubine Xin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then she laughed, "No! I was so confused, I was only concerned about being sad, and I forgot the most important thing."

Concubine Xin thought about it, and couldn't help smiling, "In the final analysis, this child of hers should be worried by those who have princes like Queen and Concubine Yu. It won't affect us for the time being. Just call them three quarrelsome Go ahead, me, right now it is enough to just think about how to win the emperor's favor."

"Look at the empress is still in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, and she can't hold back anymore. If Wei Wanxi gives birth to the next prince this time, the empress will go crazy~"

Concubine Xin lowered her head and thought about it, "The empress now has only the twelfth elder brother and one son, and Concubine Yu has only the fifth elder brother and one son. The defense against this child Wei Wanxi is much deeper than ours."

Only then did Le Rong smile in relief, "If the master thinks this way, the slave will feel relieved."

Concubine Xin raised her eyebrows, "Since the fire has already started, I'll add another firewood for them."
.
On the seventh day of June, the Emperor Qinzheng Hall listened to the government.

It was on this day that the emperor decreed that Hongqing, king of Yujun, should be the right Zongzheng of the clan mansion.

This Hong Qing is none other than his sister Fujin Shu and Jiu Fujin; and his daughter is Fu Ling'an's Fujin.

For this reason, the inner court dignitaries also came to Concubine Shu's palace to congratulate her.

When Concubine Xin came, Concubine Yu was sitting in Concubine Shu Palace talking.Zhu Lan went in and whispered to Concubine Shu, reporting that Concubine Xin had arrived, Concubine Shu nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Then please sit in the side hall for a while."

Zhu Lan turned around to leave, but Concubine Shu held Zhu Lan, and said softly, "It's getting hot, there is no awning outside the side hall, so open the door a bit, don't get too hot."

Although Concubine Yu couldn't hear what Concubine Shu and Zhu Lan were saying, she also realized that someone came to congratulate her again.Concubine Yu laughed, "Today is really a good day for Concubine Shu, this threshold is about to be broken."

Concubine Shu smiled lightly, "Actually, this is not my happy event, it's the joy of my sister and my sister's family. After all, my sister is the Fujin of King Yujun, and my sister is the son and daughter of King Yujun. Far away from me."

Concubine Yu also smiled and said, "That means Concubine Shu is very popular in the palace, so all the sisters are here to congratulate Concubine Shu."

Concubine Yu got up to say goodbye, and Concubine Shu saw her off in person.

Concubine Yu went down the steps, and wanted to walk directly out of the courtyard, but Concubine Shu held Yu Concubine with a smile, "The sun is bright, sister Yu, please walk out of the corridor."

Concubine Yu also smiled and nodded, and walked all the way to the door of the supporting hall.

The door of the side hall was wide open, Concubine Yu saw the people sitting there.

It was Concubine Xin.

Concubine Xin in the hall also saw Concubine Yu, the two of them looked at each other, and quickly turned their heads away.

Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Xin in the hall with a smile, "Concubine Xin was told to wait for a long time. I sent Concubine Yu off, so I came back to ask my sister to talk."

Asking Concubine Shu to break the conversation, Concubine Yu and Concubine Xin felt embarrassed and continued to pretend that they didn't see each other.Especially Concubine Xin was still a low-ranking person, so she got up awkwardly and bowed to Concubine Yu, "My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Yu."

Concubine Yu nodded embarrassingly, "I'm sorry for you, get up quickly."

Concubine Shu smiled at both of them, then continued to send Concubine Yu out, then turned back in a leisurely manner, and entertained Concubine Xin again.
.
Although Concubine Xin wanted to know what Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu had said, she still held back.

Concubine Xin drank the tea, lowered her head and smiled, "I also came to congratulate Concubine Shu because of the matter of King Yujun. Princess Yujun's Gege has been assigned to Duke Zhongyong's eldest son, Fu Ling'an, as the Nine Fortune Kings." To my daughter-in-law, this is truly a kiss."

Concubine Shu nodded with a smile, "Who says it's not. Although Fu Ling'an is not my sister's biological son, she is still my sister's son. If you want to call my sister Erniang, it's really an extra kiss. "

Concubine Xin rolled her sleeves with her fingertips, and said slowly, "I figured Eleventh brother will be ten years old this year, and in three or four years, he should also be officially married. This year was originally chosen by the eight banners women. Year, ouch, isn't that the next selection after three years, it just happens to be the age to marry Elder Brother!"

Concubine Xin looked at Concubine Shu and smiled, "Brother Eleven has grown up, and he is going to marry Fujin soon. Then Concubine Shu will cherish the time spent with Elder Brother Eleven."

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Concubine Xin said that too. I envy Concubine Xin, the eighth princess is still young, and she is still far away from the age of marriage."

Concubine Xin smiled awkwardly, she couldn't avoid that she also thought about using her Eighth Princess to fix things with Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu didn't care.

Concubine Xin raised her eyebrows, "Speaking of little princesses, Concubine Shu also has a close relationship with Concubine Ling's Ninth Princess. I used to think that the emperor would hand over Princess Ninth to you to be raised by Concubine Shu...but I Look, Imperial Concubine Ling still wants Concubine Rong to raise the Ninth Princess."

Concubine Shu snorted softly, "After all, Yong Xing is not yet an adult, so all my heart and soul are devoted to him."

Concubine Xin tilted her head and smiled playfully on purpose, "That's why I guessed wrongly about Sister Concubine Shu's intentions... I originally thought that Sister Concubine Shu had already raised Brother Eleven, and then she should like the little princess." Yes. But looking at it now, Concubine Shu still likes boys."

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, she didn't say yes or no, she just drank tea with her head down.

Concubine Xin laughed and said, "Now that the noble concubine is happy again, not only the ninth princess, but even the fifteenth elder brother has to be entrusted to others. Below the noble concubine is the concubine, and the concubine Shu is the concubine. First of all, so if we follow the rules, I am afraid that Brother Fifteen will be entrusted to Concubine Shu again!"

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and stared at Concubine Xin.

Concubine Xin lowered her eyes, avoiding Concubine Shu's gaze, "Although Concubine Qing and Concubine Ying are above the concubine's position, neither Concubine Qing nor Concubine Ying have children, but they are still behind Concubine Shu. As long as Concubine Shu fights for it, the ten The fifth elder brother should be handed over to Concubine Shu to be raised."
.
As dusk fell, Concubine Shu's palace finally became quiet.

At this time, Er Wanxi brought Yurui, who arrived late.

Concubine Shu greeted her at the door in person, and smiled after saluting, "How dare I work hard for your concubine to come in person? What's more, you are noble now, so it's enough to just ask Mrs. Rui to come and walk around."

Wanxi held Concubine Shu's hand through the night, "I'm not just congratulating you alone, but also for Lan Pei and Brother Ling. I just can't see them, so I will give them my heart for the time being." , and entrusted to you together."

Concubine Shu laughed, and personally supported Wanxi to walk in.

Wanxi walked through the corridor and the gate of the palace, and gently sniffed her nose, "Perhaps because of my body, my nose is also very active. Even standing here and smelling it like this, I can smell the palace Let the incense burn on everyone's body."

Wanxi turned her eyes to look at Concubine Shu, "Your place must be the busiest place in the whole palace today."

Concubine Shu sighed softly, "No. It doesn't matter who should come or not; whoever I want to see and what I don't want to see, they all come anyway. People say that they are here to congratulate me, and I can't open the gate of the palace. Close it so that no one can come in."

"But you are right in saying something—it's lively, my place is really very lively today."

Wanxi smiled, then walked in and sat down carefully.

Concubine Shu supported Wanxi, and then she sat down and sighed, "She said she came to congratulate me, but it's not my fault that she came around to tell me. Concubine Yu Come on, what you say is all about Mr. Shengui; Concubine Xin is more nosy, so you are talking about your fifteenth elder brother again."

Wanxi raised her eyebrows, recalling Concubine Shu's words in her heart several times.

Concubine Shu spat softly, "Whatever they say, I don't understand, and I'm too lazy to understand."

Yurui sat on the bamboo pier of Concubine Xiang in the ground, quietly raised her eyes to look at Wanxi, then smiled lightly and said, "If you say that you have a clear mind, no one in the palace can surpass Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu laughed, "Mr. Rui's clever mouth looks more like your sister's."

Concubine Shu raised her eyes and focused on Wanxi, "It's not that I can't guess what Concubine Yu's thoughts are. But I won't be so confused that I forget about her and that E Ning, and now how do I plot against Yongxuan and Qingzao?" I went... Although Yongxuan was not raised by me, but Yongxuan and Yongxuan were born of the same mother, so they are of the same spirit. Concubine Yu is not good for Yongxuan, so how dare you expect me to listen to her? "

"As for Concubine Xin, isn't it enough that she brought her eighth princess before my eyes? Now we have to talk about your fifteenth elder brother..."

Wanxi lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, "In my opinion, what she said is not unreasonable. I have a child again, so I have to entrust Xiao Shiwu to pay... If it is entrusted to the concubine, then You rank first, and you are the most qualified."

Concubine Shu spat, "Then what about Yongxin? Looking at Yongxuan's current situation, I am worried that the situation between him and Yongxin will become more tense in the past few years. If she goes, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her... It's not that I don't care about your fifteenth elder brother, but after all, I have to wait for Yongxing to become a stable human being before I can let go."

Only then did Wanxi laugh, and stretched out her hand to hold Concubine Shu, "You are worrying too much! Since I know the meaning of Yongxing to you best, why would I ask Xiao Shiwu to compete with Yongxing for your heart?"

Wanxi paused for a moment, then turned her eyes slightly, "I want to ask you to do me a favor——now, please fight for my little fifteen..."

Concubine Shu also narrowed her eyes slightly, "You mean... to paralyze Concubine Xin for now?"

Wanxi nodded and held her stomach, "I am in such a body right now, so I don't want to bother with her for the time being. And this year, Xinpin's brother-in-law, An Ning, just died, and it is the time when she wants to be desperate... I will try my best If I fail to catch it, I have to ask you to help me go back."

Concubine Shu lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded, "That's not difficult. She really hopes that because of Elder Brother Fifteen, I will fight with Concubine Qing and Concubine Ying; If you can’t give it to me, I will break up with you.”

Wanxi nodded, "There was almost a rift in the matter of tweeting. This time it is related to the prince again, so it is indeed easier for her to provoke her."

Concubine Shu snickered, "I know how to do it. You, put your heart in your stomach too. Concubine Yu has blocked you for several months on the southern patrol road, so I won't do it anyway." It will be inferior."

Wanxi reached out and grabbed Concubine Shu's hand.

"However, I have a wish, which has nothing to do with Concubine Xin—I really want to ask you to teach Xiao Shiwu seriously. Now that he is almost two years old, it's time to set up rules. Teach him the old sayings and rules for me."
