(Let’s make a small BB, Yunqi will check the title of the book carefully, this book can finally get rid of this name! The new title is "Qing Palace: Biography of Noble Concubine Wen Xi", and it will probably be changed next week. I love you, refills.)
After three days, it will be an auspicious day. On this day, the concubines and concubines will be headed by the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and concubine Yi Rongyue will enter the Fengxian Hall next to pray for blessings.

This time is the first time Rong Yue and Concubine Yi have arranged important matters in the palace together since she became a concubine. She has always been careful and appropriate, and she was very happy to be praised by the Empress Dowager.

It was getting late after returning to the palace, and Rong Yue was admiring the autumn chrysanthemums newly offered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the courtyard. The autumn chrysanthemums were just blooming and had the strongest fragrance.

Lian Xinji worried that Rong Yue was afraid of the cold, holding a Qingluan cloak and lightly draping it on her shoulders: "Your Majesty has been appreciated by the Empress Dowager today, so she will be proud in front of others."

Rong Yuejiao blushed and said angrily: "It's just that the Empress Dowager said it casually, so it's so solemn."

Lian Xin saluted with a smile on her face: "The empress dowager values ​​the empress, so the emperor values ​​the empress, the empress is waiting, the slave girl sees that the emperor will turn over the empress' green card tonight."

"I'm getting more and more greedy." Rong Yue's smile faded, the wind in the courtyard rustled the corners of Qingluan's cloak with tassels, Rong Yue raised her hand to tap the sweat dripping from her forehead, and relieved herself The cloak was handed to Lian Xin: "This cloak is too thick, I'm sweating from covering my head. The left and right don't feel cold today, so don't worry about it."

Lian Xin took the cloak, and suddenly saw that there was a dense layer of sweat floating on Rong Yue's forehead, and the sweat was hanging on the fine hair on her face, against the afterglow of the setting sun, it looked like stars were scattered all over.

Suddenly another gust of wind hit, Lian Xin couldn't help tightening her skirt.Now it's nearly September, Rong Yue has already yelled about the coldness and lit a charcoal basin in the palace at this time in previous years, but now she's standing at the vent but she's still yelling that she doesn't feel cold.Lian Xin was startled at first, but then overjoyed: "Madam, your body isn't afraid of the cold anymore?"

Rong Yue was stunned by what she said: "It seems that my body has always been warm from the inside out these days, it's hard to feel that it's autumn now." She thought about it, and looked at Lian Xin with light in her eyes He said again: "Could it be the disease of this palace?"

"Congratulations, empress!" Lian Xin was overjoyed, and she knelt down and bowed deeply: "Empress sincerely worshiped the ancestors, and was blessed by the ancestors. Now the palace cold syndrome must have subsided, and there is hope for happiness!"

Rong Yue looked a little surprised, she couldn't help stepping back a few steps, and murmured: "Is this true?" With a slightly worried look on her face, Xiang Lian said anxiously: "Hurry up, hurry up and invite me!" The doctor is here!"

Lian Xin got up in a hurry and was about to run out of the palace, but before she could take a few steps, she bumped into the eunuch of the respect room who rushed over.

"Oh, girl, please slow down." The eunuch gave Lian Xin who was about to fall, and asked slowly: "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Lian Xin saw that the person who came was the father-in-law who delivered the imperial decree, and hurriedly said: "But the emperor turned over the empress's sign?"

The eunuch took two steps forward and stood facing Rong Yue, and said in a respectful and steady voice: "The Emperor's order, I declare that the concubine Xian of the Qian Palace will be in bed." Concubine, Your Majesty is currently waiting to have dinner with you in Qianqing Palace, please hurry up and prepare."

With a dignified complexion, Rong Yue ordered Lian Xin to send the eunuch out of the palace, and sealed some reward money.

When Lian Xin turned back, she couldn't hold back her joy, she held Rong Yue's hand and hastily pulled her into the palace: "Your Majesty, what are you doing in a daze, this servant is helping Your Majesty to dress up." Said: "Hurry up and get the 'Chunlan Fragrance Powder Lotion' and 'Osmanthus Flower Oil' that the empress usually uses. The emperor likes the taste."

Seeing her hurriedly greeting her, Rong Yue said happily, "Look at your joy, your eyebrows are almost raised to Tianling Gai."

"In the past, only Empress Renxiao and Concubine Wan had such a thing of entering the Qianqing Palace to have dinner with the emperor. Now that the empress is favored by the emperor, the servants are naturally happy."

The windless autumn night in the Forbidden City is extremely quiet, without the sound of cicadas or the rustling of dead leaves.The night was boundless, and the side-by-side palace lanterns along the long street were all lit up, embellished with the color of fireflies.

Near the full moon, a bright silver moon hangs far away in the sky, and the stars in the sky are shining like luxurious orbs all over the sky, which is very harmonious with this night scene.

Wan Lai chatted with Yu Wen and Wen Yin for a long time, until a moment later she said that she was sleepy and ordered the two to disperse separately.

Yun Chan and Lin Lan waited on her to wash and go to bed, she put off her armor and asked lightly, "Is Rong Yue going to bed tonight?"

Lin Lan took off the ruby ​​pendant from Wanyu's ear and replied in a low voice: "Yes, the Emperor even invited Concubine Xian to have dinner with her."

Wan Lai nodded, with two symmetrical dimples on the left and right sides of her face: "Sister is overjoyed, hurry up tomorrow, let's go and sit in her palace."

"Your Majesty has a distended belly now, so it's inconvenient to go anywhere, why don't you just forget about it." Yun Chan nimbly changed Wan's pajamas, and persuaded with a little worry: "My Majesty Xian is on good terms with you, such a trivial matter How could she care, the empress has to take care of herself first, and then take care of the friendship with the empress Xian."

"I saw that Xiuyan and Yuwen were still strolling in the imperial garden every day when they were eight months pregnant, and stayed in the palace all day long. It will make me very bored."

Just as they were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall. The three of them turned their attention and saw that Li Yin was sweating profusely, pulling up the curtain and stammering, "Your Majesty, Xiangqing from the small kitchen died suddenly!"

"What?" Wan Yu's eyes widened in surprise, and she hurriedly asked, "It was fine during dinner, why did the person disappear?"

"At night, Aunt Shuangruo went to the verandah to order the meals to be prepared in the small kitchen for tomorrow. When she went, it was already too cold. According to the author, she died suddenly of heart palpitations. Aunt Shuangruo asked the servants to come and invite the empress. According to my decree, the key to the night palace gate has already been released, how should people deal with it?"

Wanyu felt a little sad, shook her head and said regretfully: "She is a clever person, she has served the palace for many years and has not had any troubles, so it is a pity to just leave like this. You told Shuangruo to keep her in the verandah first, It will be transported out of the palace early tomorrow morning, and buried in a good place."

Li Yinde was about to leave after receiving the order, but she was stopped by Lin Lan's voice: "Your Majesty is pregnant, and someone died suddenly in the palace. If you bury her with great fanfare, others will always discuss it. You should act more appropriately tomorrow. Don't be too loud."

Li Yin bowed and said: "Naturally. It's not a decent thing at all, so how dare you say it."

After Li Yin retreated, Wanyu still had lingering fears and tossed and rested: "Everything is impermanent after all. It's a pity that good people go away like this." She said, and then ordered Yunchan: "Tomorrow, you take some money and see Seeing if there are any relatives in Xiangqing's house, I will give the silver. They are all daughters who have been brought up by myself, and I don't want to make her family feel too sad."
