The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 538 Tree Death
The two pots of pomegranate trees in Jingren Palace were dead, and they were already sprouting new shoots. When it rained heavily in spring that day, Guo promised as soon as he passed by, he saw that the young shoots were all yellow and withered.The other plant is not much better, and several buds have fallen off.

She found that the pomegranate tree was thirsty yesterday, so she watered it a little more. Did she drown the tree?

She was a little apprehensive, and suddenly remembered that she had seen An Xu watching these two pots of pomegranate trees in the past few days.During these days, An promised to come over every day, chatting with her occasionally, and sometimes asking someone to fetch water for her to water the trees.Guo promised to secretly sigh a few times: I don't know if she has tampered with it or not.

However, for such suspicion, Guo promised not to dare to speak out indiscriminately.After thinking about it, she still felt that it must be because she didn't take good care of it, so she raised the pomegranate tree to death, which was a bit unlucky.

The pomegranate tree originally meant many children and many blessings. Now that she has spoiled the pomegranate tree, I'm afraid Concubine Xi won't be able to spare her.

She took the initiative to kneel down in front of Concubine Xi tremblingly, she still likes to be in a corner like before, even if her life is a bit more difficult, she can still enjoy herself without having to think about so many things.Look, frequent visits to Jingren Palace now not only attract people's envy and hatred, but also offend Concubine Xi for no apparent reason. What should we do in the days to come?

"Your Majesty, forgive me. The concubine deserves to die. I broke a pomegranate tree. I'm afraid that tree...can't grow well." She had a pale face, a little sad.After she became familiar with how to take care of the pomegranate tree, there was no one in Jingren Palace to help her take care of it. Now she just wanted to find someone to prove her innocence but couldn't find any.She has always taken good care of it according to the method, how could she think that the tree died suddenly?

Yan Hua's heart trembled slightly, her daughter-in-law was just pregnant with a child, it was really unlucky to hear such news suddenly.So her face turned cold in an instant. These two pomegranates never died sooner or later, but after Nuan Xin was pregnant with a child, they died suddenly?

"How did you promise to take care of this? Wasn't it fine before? Jin San saw that he promised to water the pomegranate tree all the time, but the water was too much?" Lingxi was displeased, and asked on behalf of Yanhua stand up.

Chunjuan refused to accept Guo's promise, knowing that Guo's promise would suffer from being dumb again, so he kowtowed his head and defended in a low voice: "Go back to your mother, I promised to see that the pomegranate tree was a little yellow yesterday. , so I poured some more water. The servant has been watching, the water is not so much that the tree is drowned. The servant also planted a tree before entering the palace, and ordinary trees are not easy to be drowned."

Guo promised but didn't say a word, just slumped his head apologetically.When the emperor came over a few days ago, he even told her to spend more time with Concubine Xi, but before this order was followed, Concubine Xi was angered.

She didn't have any thoughts about the emperor before. When she was drafting girls, she didn't dare to look up, so she didn't see the emperor.On the night of the Lantern Festival, she only paid attention to admiring the lanterns, and only caught a glimpse of the emperor from a distance. As for the emperor's appearance, she did not see clearly at all.

But when she got a chance to see Longyan clearly in Jingren Palace, she couldn't help but tremble a few times.

That person who is about the same age as her Ama is the emperor she should serve.Although his temples are a bit gray, they can't hide his heroism at all.That night, she suffered from insomnia.

From then on, every time she came to Jingren Palace, she felt like a little deer in her heart and danced fiercely.She always had a faint expectation, and when it was time to leave after taking care of the pomegranate tree, she felt a little melancholy.No wonder An promised that Su promised that they would all serve the emperor without hesitation. It turned out that the emperor was such a handsome man.

Yan Hua didn't say a word, after staring at Guo Xu for a while, she couldn't bear to punish her.

Xiao Yu'er ran to check the two pomegranate trees, one was dead, and the other probably couldn't survive.

"Your Majesty, I'll let you get two more trees here." He carefully glanced at Concubine Xi, wondering if Concubine Xi was angry at the moment.Before Qian Gui left the palace, he had told him many things and even kowtowed to him.Qian Gui has only one wish, and that is for him to serve Concubine Xi well and sincerely.

He is several years younger than Qian Gui, how could he afford Qian Gui to kowtow to him, he still feels that he owes Qian Gui several favors.If Qian Gui hadn't recommended him in front of Su Peisheng, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to come to Jingren Palace to serve him.

"Yeah, that's fine." Yanhua glanced at Guo Xu lightly, "Get up, I pity you, I don't want you to stay in the Zhongcui Palace and get moldy, but you end up in such a thing. Hey , Put it, it seems that it is difficult for me to let you take care of this pomegranate tree, so you should not come here again in the future..."

Guo promised to bite his lower lip, took a light breath, and said boldly: "I will definitely take care of the newly delivered pomegranate tree in the future, I beg your mother...give this concubine another chance!" She thought, Even if it is only for one bedtime, to get close to that superior person once, this life is not in vain.

The people present were all indifferent when they heard the words, except Chunjuan who knew her best, his eyes widened in surprise.Because Guo promised to say in front of her more than once that going out more would only cause trouble, and it was better to stay in Zhongcui Palace honestly.

Yan Hua recalled the purpose of asking her to come here in the first place, hesitated for a while, and agreed: "Then I will give you another chance."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Guo promised to be a little excited, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and a blush gradually appeared on his face.

"You go back today." Yanhua didn't want to talk to her anymore, she waved her hand to signal her to back down.Such an unsatisfactory thing happened early in the morning, which really disturbed her good mood.

When Guo promised to retreat awkwardly, Xiao Yuer was arranging for people to move the two pomegranate trees outside.In fact, someone noticed something wrong with the pomegranate tree yesterday, but they all acted as if it had nothing to do with them, so no one said anything.

"Xiao Yu'er, why is this soil white?" A little palace maid saw a layer of white things floating on the soil under the pomegranate tree, she couldn't help but looked closer out of curiosity, and even reached out to touch it.

"Huh? Don't touch it!" Xiao Yu'er hastily scolded her, "If it's poisonous..."

It's a pity that his words were not as fast as her hands. When the little maid heard the word "poisonous", she had already stained something white and put it under her nose to smell it.Seeing that Xiao Yu'er's complexion was not good, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wiped her hands, and said in a coy tone, "It seems a bit salty."

Guo promised and Chunjuan went over to have a look after hearing this.

Chunjuan wanted to justify Guo's promise, so he quickly dipped some of the white thing and smelled it, and then licked it with his small tongue: "Huh? It's really salty, like...salt?"

"You don't want to die..." Xiao Yu'er pinched the orchid flower and was about to scold her. After hearing her words clearly, she wondered, "Huh? How could there be salt?"

There is a lot of private salt outside, so this salt is not a rare thing, but it is a bit strange to appear on this soil in a good way.

"Grandpa Yu should check it out. Why is there a layer of salt on the soil? If not, if you promise to take care of the new pomegranate tree, you may be wronged again." Chun Juan looked at Xiao Yu sullenly. He glanced at it, and when he saw the orchid finger that he hadn't put away, he couldn't help but chuckled softly.

Guo promised to tug on her sleeve, then Gu Zi left first.

After the master and servant left, Xiao Yu'er gave orders to the human: "Don't rush to throw away these two pots of pomegranate trees, you guys, carry them to the corner of the backyard."

When the group was busy, Du Ruo came back with two maids.She was ordered just now to send an old woman Yanhua had chosen for Nuan Xin to go to Qianxi No. [-] Institute, but she felt that the atmosphere in Qianxi No. [-] Institute was a bit weird.Not only that, but she also saw a strange figure.

"The tree is broken?" She pulled Xiao Yu'er and asked, seeing Xiao Yu'er nodding, she was a little puzzled, "Last year it grew so well, how could it be gone? It's doing very well."

"Who knows. I just saw a thin layer of salt on the soil, do you think it's strange?" Xiao Yu'er curled her lips in annoyance.

"Who is full and has nothing to do to sprinkle salt? It was normal last year... Huh? You said that the pomegranate tree was gone if it was gone. Is it because of the salt? Go check it out, I still have something to do Report it to the empress, and I won't break my mouth with you."

Xiao Yu'er glanced at Du Ruo's back troubledly, and smacked her lips helplessly.

In fact, in Jingren Palace, except for those eunuchs, he and Du Ruo are the closest friends. The other aunts who have stayed in the hidden mansion are much older than him, and he dare not be in front of them. presumptuous.

Du Ruo went straight to find Yanhua: "Madam, I have visited Sifujin, and Sifujin still can't eat. I heard that I didn't eat much at all yesterday. I have arranged for that nanny to serve Sifujin personally. Fujin asks the slaves to thank the empress, and then come over to say hello."

"My family is polite. What are you doing here? Apart from not being able to eat, there is no other abnormality, right?"

"This...some words, I don't know if I should say it or not..." Du Ruo looked at Shao Yao hesitantly, and seeing this, Shao Yao shunned all the little maids beside her.

"Let's talk." Yanhua's complexion sank, but seeing Du Ruo hesitating, she became a little impatient.

"The servants are also vague, I don't know if they can do it or not... The people in the second Ganxi school are also a little strange, so the servants...don't dare to ask too much... If the servants are not mistaken, the people in the second Ganxi school seem to be There's another...a person with a big belly..."

"What?" Yanhua's eyes widened suddenly, a little unbelievable.Nuan Xin just got pregnant, and her belly hasn't shown yet, so the person with the big belly is naturally someone else.

"There are only two princesses in the Hongli courtyard. Huang Gege only had a miscarriage in October last year, so it can't be her...is it another princess?" Yanhua was startled at this moment, it is a good thing that she is pregnant. , why keep it a secret?Could it be...

She was startled into a cold sweat by her own thoughts, tsk tsk, the other Gege is the daughter of Zuoling Weng Guotu, and Yanhua personally picked it.If she dared to cuckold her son, she would not let her off lightly!

"Hurry up! I'm going to see it!" Her chest rose and fell violently, and she couldn't hide her excitement.
