Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2459 Seven Volumes 163 October Expiration
Wanxi nodded with a smile, "The emperor brought you back from Changchun Garden, and I heard that you have flipped your sign one after another in the past few days. Congratulations."

In March, the bachelor came to protect him and passed away.Laibao died at the age of 84. He was mature, honest, and diligent all his life. The emperor decreed that he would give the Taibao a gift and be enshrined in the Xianliang Temple.And reward 3000 taels of silver for funeral affairs.The emperor decided to visit the funeral ceremony in person on the ninth day of the lunar month.

Laibao came from the Xitara family, and was the highest-ranking person in the previous dynasty among the Xitara family, a coat family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that entered the customs from Longlong.Pianlaibao has been seriously ill since the beginning of the year, and has passed away at this time. Another nephew and nephew of the Sitara clan, He Erjing'er, was dismissed to be in charge of internal affairs on February [-]th. The minister of the government, retained the deputy capital, and still managed Longevity Hill and Jingyi Garden.

The affairs of the Old Summer Palace entrusted by the emperor to Fu Long'an, the fourth concubine, were originally He Erjing's errands, and Fu Long'an took over from He Erjing's hands.

Thinking about it this way, for the Xitara family, this spring has been bleak.

This made Wanxi recall Fengge who entered the palace together... that "little phoenix" who lived in the harem had a personality as similar as that of Nala's. If she was still alive at this time, she would feel annoyed.

Now that many years have passed, Feng Ge has long since returned to ashes, dust to dust, old grievances and grievances have long gone, and the only thing left is the lament for the impermanence of life.

It doesn't matter whether it's one step earlier or one step later, after all, people in this world will go there.

No one is in a hurry, no one has to dodge.

From this point of view, there is no need to mourn Fengge's unexplained death.After all, wait a few more days, and the people in this group of harem will naturally meet underground.The so-called meeting between life and death means meeting in life and meeting in death.

Wanxi couldn't help shaking her head when she thought of this.

In the spring of March, she shouldn't be so discouraged.It's just that I can't get over the matter of Yuye, so after hearing the news that the emperor is taking Yongchang back to the Old Summer Palace, I've been lingering outside Yongchang's bedroom for several days, just wanting to see Yongchang together Son.

It's just that Yongchang's position is too low, and Wanxi can't be summoned for no reason as a noble concubine, so she can only condescend to her dignity and try to create a chance encounter on the way.

Yongchangzai was not happy, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Wanxi, and with her young and straightforward eyes, he glanced at Wanxi without hesitation.

"The imperial concubine is blocking the way, just to ask my concubine this question, is it? The imperial concubine is worried that the concubine will steal the imperial favor from the imperial concubine, so she wants to interrogate the concubine herself, right?"
.
It has been many years, Wanxi has never seen such straightforward words from a young man.

In fact, there are many people in the palace who are relentless in their words, such as the empress of the main palace; it's just that the status of the empress of the main palace is there, so they naturally have the capital to leave no room for anything.On the other hand, the newcomers to the palace are all trembling, and it is rare to see such straight-forward ones.

Don't talk about other people, let's talk about Concubine Xin who came from a famous family, when she first came to the palace, at least she looked humble and respectful on the surface.

What's more, the position of the girl in front of her is just a permanent presence.Even if her father is already in Dutong, he is a member of the third rank, but after all, he was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his status is still incomparable with Concubine Xin.

Also, Yongchangzai is not a Manchu, she is a Han surname.

Thinking about it this way, Wanxi didn't feel that she was being bumped, she just smiled quietly.

It's the straightforwardness with which this girl speaks, which is also the unique accent of a girl whose ancestral home is in Shengjing.

The local accent is the most memorable. Wanxi's own child, followed by her grandmother, heard her speak in the same way.Wanxi was naughty when she was a child, and she followed each sentence for several years, and she had the same accent with her mouth.

"Why, listening to your tone, it seems to be blocking your way. I'm not the only one who asked you such a question?" Wanxi was not in a hurry.

She is always there, and at this time she hasn't learned the composure that Wanxi has cultivated in the deep palace for a long time, and she is suddenly blushed because of Wanxi's right words.

"...Who made me just a small resident? All the high-ranking ladies in the harem are afraid that I will steal their favor!"

Wanxi didn't ask any more questions, and just lowered her head and chuckled, "Then they are confused again, and they have spent all their years in the harem in vain."

With stubbornness in his eyes, Yongchang tilted his head to look over, "What's the meaning of this, Empress Guifei?"

Wanxi stared at Yong Changzai calmly, "In this harem, everyone says they want to 'compete for favor', but in fact, the emperor's favor can never be won. No one in the harem understands the hearts of the people better than the emperor. Who the emperor wants to give favor to is not something that can be controlled by others, and it is not something that can be changed by a single word of 'struggle'."

Yongchang squinted his eyes and thought about it. After a long time, he nodded slowly, "...Although my concubine still doesn't understand what it means, I will remember what the imperial concubine and empress said today."

Wanxi nodded, "Then you can rest assured, I'm here today to ask about your escort?"

Yong Changzai's face turned red again, "My concubine believes it."

Wanxi smiled and sighed softly, "But there is one thing, you guessed it right. I did wait on the way outside your palace specially, wanting to see you once and talk to you."

Yong Chang's eyeballs flashed slightly, then he also nodded, "Please tell me, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Wanxi bowed her head, and weighed the words in her heart again, not wanting to leave too much trace.

"The emperor went to Yeling in February, and when he came back, he told me about a happy event. It happened that the emperor said that the owner of the happy event is always your uncle."

Yongchang nodded calmly, "Oh, I see. The imperial concubine asked about my uncle taking a concubine, right? That's right, my uncle recently took another concubine. I heard that person also came from the palace. An official woman who is released at the full age."

Yongchang's eyeballs flashed again, and he raised his eyes to stare at Wanxi, "It can't be such a coincidence, the newcomer that my uncle accepted was in the palace before, and had an old relationship with the imperial concubine, right?"

Yongchang shrugged, "There is no news from the palace and the outside world, and I am far away from my uncle, so I didn't have the opportunity to ask in detail. I don't know the specific situation, but I just heard a general outline."

Wanxi looked carefully at Yong Changzai's expression, then slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Yeah, it's a predestined relationship. The newcomer your uncle accepted was one who came out of my palace. She is not only an official woman under my position, but also a little sister who grew up with me."

Yong Chang was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I didn't expect my uncle to be so lucky! I even thought about it in private, my uncle is getting older, what good can an old man in his 60s find? ? I’m afraid it’s just randomly drawn from Huangling Village. How could I have imagined that I have such a deep relationship with the imperial concubine!”

Yongchang said "Draw it casually", which made Wanxi smile unknowingly.

It's just that my heart is still hanging on Yuye. Although I also want to blame her for hurting Mao Tuan'er, but when it comes to Guiqi, I still hope that I can marry well. The days when the group is together are better.

Even if you change your mind, you should always lead to a better and brighter future, so that everything is worth it, right?

Wanxi then asked softly, "I came here today to ask Yongchang for advice - but I don't know how many concubines there are in your uncle's family? Is your aunt still alive, and she is tolerant and kind?"

Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at the expression on Wanxi's face.

Wanxi was also a little embarrassed, "I'm here today, the person in front of you is not a noble concubine, and I'm not here to meet you in this capacity. I'm just the natal family of your uncle Xinna."

Yongchang thought for a while, and said slowly, "The imperial concubine knows that my uncle is going to be seventy this year, right? So... my aunt is getting old too, and she will die soon. It depends on my uncle's treatment of this little aunt. Love, and the relationship between my aunt and the imperial concubine, as long as my uncle waits for my aunt to die, he will be able to straighten my aunt directly, then this marriage is a continuation, not a concubine!"

Wanxi could tell that Yongchang was speaking to Yuye.It's just that Yongchang's words here are too straightforward, making Wanxi feel a little embarrassed to hear it.

"...Yongchang was just joking. I want to come to Mandou's Fujin and Mandou. They have been husband and wife for many years, and they have come together for decades. They have a deep affection for each other. But Yuye came out of my palace and came to your uncle's house , and only those who respect Fujin and serve him personally."

Yongchang lowered his head halfway, and nodded, "Don't worry, the imperial concubine, although that little aunt is only a concubine now, but my uncle will definitely treat her well! In the future, the status of my little aunt will definitely not be just a concubine. "

"Let's not talk about the distance, just wait for the birth of a son. My uncle will definitely ask the imperial court to seal her first. At the worst, he can seal a side Fujin first, right?"
.
Wanxi has a hanging heart, because Yongchang's interesting Shengjing accent has been diluted a lot.

Wanxi thinks about it too, although Yuye is now over [-] years old, but Mandou is almost [-] after all, in Mandou's eyes, Yuye is still a little wife.Besides, Mandou also came from a family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it is impossible not to know that Yuye was originally a woman who went out from Yongshou Palace, so Mandou would not dare to wait for Yuye to go.

The rest is whether the things that Yong Chang is talking about can be corrected, or whether he can invite the side Fujin to go, that doesn't matter.As long as Man Dou can sincerely treat Yu Ye well, then she can also feel relieved.

——Actually, in the beginning, she was still fascinated by the words of the emperor and Mao Tuan'er.

Although the emperor and Mao Tuan'er talked well enough, she felt something was wrong in her heart.

The most fundamental reason why this is wrong is Wanxi's understanding of Yu Ye's personality.It's not easy for Wanxi to believe that Yuye is a person who has changed her mind...just think about it later, maybe what Yuye herself wrote in the letter is also human nature, after all, Mao Tuan'er is a eunuch, and she is separated from the fireworks in the world. The feelings of love, after all, are just painting cakes.

Wanxi smiled sincerely, and shook the eternal hand gratefully, "I am the same as you, and my hometown is Shengjing. It is rare for me to hear Shengjing's local accent these years, so I like to listen to you Son. If you have free time, you might as well come to my palace and let's talk together."

Yongchang nodded, but smiled awkwardly, "It's not that concubines don't know how to praise, but concubines can't live in Yuanmingyuan permanently. The emperor said that he will send the concubine back to Changchun garden to continue serving the empress dowager within a few days. The emperor Said, the Empress Dowager likes me and cannot leave me for a moment; the Emperor is a filial son, so he can't steal someone from the Empress Dowager to live here permanently."

The look of always being there can hardly conceal the loneliness.

Wanxi also apologized in her heart, "Don't worry, it's your year, right? The future will be long, your good days are in the future."

Yongchang Zai also tried his best to smile, "Thank you for your good words! Next time, my mother will make Shengjing-style pastries and send them in. I will also bring in some for the imperial concubine!"

"That's a good thing." Wanxi nodded with a smile, "I'll make a note of it, and you're not allowed to renege on your debt."

Yongchang bowed and said goodbye here, originally turned around and wanted to leave, but couldn't help but turn back again, raised his eyes and stared at Wanxi, "This concubine is going to meet the real person of the imperial concubine and empress... I still have a little more time I've been holding it in my heart for a while, so I want to ask for clarification now."

Wanxi nodded, "Say it."

Yongchang was biting his lips, "When the concubine went to the palace to choose last year, the imperial concubine and empress chose our Han surname to coat. But how did it end up that the queen empress remembered my name, not the imperial concubine and empress? Is it? Could it be that it is not good for the imperial concubine to look at me, and that's why she wants me to put down the sign?"

Girls, who wasn't high-spirited when they were young, no matter whether they want to stay in the palace or not, they don't want to be brushed off in the first round when they first read it, don't they?
Wanxi also understood, and nodded with a smile, "You guessed right, I brushed you off, and didn't intend to ask you to enter the palace."

Yong Changzai's face was flushed red, "What's wrong with me? Is it because I'm ugly, or because I don't have enough family background, or is it that the imperial concubine doesn't like it?"

It turned out to be this matter.

Originally, this incident was also a hidden danger, and it was very likely that Nala took advantage of the loopholes, causing Wanxi and Yongchang to be separated.Since Yongchang was the first to pick up this remark today, Wanxi is also happy to push the boat along.

Wanxi smiled faintly, "My parents are here, so I don't want to travel far. Your uncle Mandou is over sixty years old, so your Ama is naturally older. The relatives are old, and it is even more difficult for children to travel far away." Should stay by your side."

"Don't say you don't travel far, there is a return date for a long travel; but inside this palace wall, it is a place that once you walk in, you can never go out again. Even your father also works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in the end you and He can no longer enjoy family life as he used to."

Wanxi's serious expression focused on Yongchang, "I don't remember your name, it's not because of you, nor is there anything wrong with you; I just think about the deep love between you and your Ama's father and daughter."

It was a bit of a surprise that Yongchang was here, and when he rolled his eyes, they were already soaked in tears.

"So that's how it is... But why do some people say that it is the imperial concubine who doesn't want me to enter the palace, because we are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we are all Han surnames, and our ancestral home is also Shengjing; but my Ama But your official position is higher than that of the imperial concubine and your Ama, so why does the imperial concubine dislike me?"

This is not surprising to Wanxi.Wanxi can roughly guess who said these words came from.

Wanxi just nodded, "In life, you can control your own words and deeds, but you can't control the tongues of others. But fortunately, there is one more choice: if you put the tongues of others in your own place, you must believe it. Still don't believe it."

Yongchang let out a sigh of relief, "If someone dares to chew this tongue in front of my eyes next time, see if I won't spit back! It's clear that I want to provoke my concubine and imperial concubine to go, and let us two Hans from the Ministry of Internal Affairs People with surnames bite each other, so that those of them from famous families can sit and watch the show, right? I'm going to stamp my feet and scold their eight generations of ancestors!"

Yongchangzai is her father's old daughter, who was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she was also spoiled and spoiled.This is telling the truth, but she is more straightforward like a Manchu aunt, and not as demure as a girl from a Han family under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Wanxi was delighted to hear it, so she couldn't help laughing, "It's enough for you to distinguish right from wrong in your heart, and don't rush to tear yourself apart in person. After all, you are only a permanent position at the moment. If it is a position High one, I will catch you as a low-level offender, and you will suffer a lot."

Yongchang took a deep breath, "I will be promoted in the future, sooner or later I will spit on them!"

The two said goodbye, and Wanxi held the hand that was always there, "Women who leave the palace can no longer meet with the master. I can't let Yuye go in my heart, and it's inconvenient to communicate with your uncle. The only thing I have to do is I beg you to go, if you have the opportunity to deliver a message, at least pass a word to your uncle for me, please treat Yuye kindly."

"It doesn't matter what your status is for the time being, but you must ask Yu Ye to stay in your uncle's house, so that you don't have to suffer what you shouldn't."

Yongchang lowered his head to avoid Wanxi's gaze, and nodded all the way, "I've made a note, don't worry, imperial concubine."
.
Wanxi goes first, stays far away, always standing in the distance, watching Wanxi's back from a distance.

Finally he couldn't see anymore, Yong Chang Zai Fang sighed, "At first, I thought she was superior, and she didn't care about those of us with low ranks. But I didn't expect that she was actually willing to come here for an official girl who had left the palace. Soft words and good words."

Guan Lan, the woman under Yongchang's seat, also nodded with a smile, "Who said it wasn't. Originally, if she had something to do, she just had to send a word, and tell the young master to go to her palace to answer. The slave didn't expect that she would I ran here myself."

Yongchang sighed, "Although I have a different temperament from her, at least I am a Han surname under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and my family's ancestral home is Shengjing. Looking at this floor, I feel that the entire harem , she is rarely pleasing to the eye."

Guan Lan also smiled and said, "On the other hand, the noble concubine and the master look at the master, so why not have the same idea? After all, the two masters have a lot in common, the master should walk around more."

Yongchang said "um", "Actually, even if she doesn't come here today, I have to go to her place at least once a month. The emperor has already ordered so, how dare I disobey the order ?”
.
In this March, first a great scholar came to Bao to pass away, and the emperor went to Lai Bao's mansion to drink wine; then there was the empress's silkworm ceremony and the emperor's plowing ceremony, the emperor and the queen were busy, and all the sacrifices went back to the palace It is rarely held in the Old Summer Palace.

Nala's absence gave Concubine Xin a chance to catch her breath; but she hadn't recovered her breath yet, and when she turned around, she missed the emperor again.

It's March, and according to the day when she announces her good fortune, this month will be her full-term pregnancy in October, and she should give birth!

But her red this month, according to the day, still came.

Damn it, it's still here!

Now that things have happened, she is no longer willing to admit it, even if she is dying in her heart to excuse herself, she still has to realize that her child, eight or nine out of ten, is really gone...

During the day, the two moon-watching grandmas, Sun Shi and Wu Shi, were waiting in front of her, observing her movements at any time, making it difficult for her to even talk to Le Rong and Le Yi alone.Only at night, when the two old ladies had to go to rest because of their age, Concubine Xin could talk to her own people alone.

Concubine Xin anxiously asked the two of them, "... When will the emperor come back? After the plowing ceremony, the emperor should come back too?"

Le Rong and Le Yi looked at each other and knelt down on the ground, "But master, even if the emperor comes back, what should we do?"

Concubine Xin grabbed the carved bed board, with desperate determination, "Listen, as long as the emperor comes back, you all go and invite the emperor—don't say I ordered it, just say that when you two are serving the eighth princess, You noticed something abnormal in Shunying's body! You dare not report it to me, and you dare not ask the imperial doctor, so you can only invite the emperor in private..."

Both Le Rong and Le Yi were shocked, they stared blankly at Concubine Xin.

"...Master has really decided to use this method?"

Concubine Xin also raised her eyes in despair, staring blankly into the distance.

"Then, besides this method, what else can I do now?! In the past few months, I have used all kinds of sayings, but the emperor refuses to come!"

"It's been a few months, it's been a few months... The emperor came that time, and it was also because the queen was here! He never, never came to see me alone..."

Concubine Xin closed her eyes sadly when she said this, "It's already here, I'm already ten months pregnant, but he hasn't come yet, will I give birth by then, or not?"

Le Rong and Le Yi also followed their master to despair.

They are all pregnant in October, and their master has now entered a dead end.If the emperor still doesn't come, if the master still can't take the opportunity to regain the emperor's heir, then...how can we explain the ten months' events?
Could it turn into a serious crime of deceiving the emperor in the end, and ask everyone in the whole palace to accompany their master to eat and drink together?

At this moment, people once had a deep love between master and servant, but now they only feel that their own life is the most important thing.

Le Rong and Le Yi looked at each other, and they both saw determination in each other's eyes.

The two squatted down together, and temporarily agreed to Concubine Xin to go, "The servant knows what to do. The master is at ease, and only waits for the emperor to come back."
