The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 23
Wannai and Rongyue entered the sleeping hall at a tight pace, and saw only a court lady serving beside Nalayue, carefully tidying up the pieces of white jade dishes on the ground, anxiously comforting her: "My lord, if you don't take the medicine, the swelling may be serious." It's hard to get rid of, you'd better listen to the persuasion of the servants and enter some."

"Now I have become the laughing stock of the whole palace. The emperor saw my crazy appearance and didn't give me a word of comfort. Instead, he kept scolding me for being restless! My face is gone, and I don't care if it goes away or not!" Nala agreed to lean on the bed. , the face was covered with light yellow medicine powder, the whole face was swollen and watery, and the almond eyes that were originally juicy were now narrowed into a slit, which made people feel terrified.

The maid heard the movement behind her, and seeing that it was Wanyu and Rong Yue who hurriedly greeted them, Rong Yue raised her face and told the maid to step back.Nala promised to turn her eyes to the two, then she was ashamed and picked up the quilt and pulled it up to cover her head. Perhaps the cotton surface of the quilt touched the wound on her face, and she screamed twice in pain.

The two stepped forward to stop her, but they heard her shout and stopped their footsteps.

"Ms. Xian, Mrs. Wan, the concubine's face is terrifying and it is not suitable to see others. Please invite the two sisters out."

Seeing that Rong Yue hesitated to come forward, Wannai moved to Nala's couch and sat down, gently pulling the quilt tightly clutched in her hand: "What if the wound is worn out later?" Okay? It was a minor injury, if there is a scar, wouldn't it damage my sister's beauty?"

"Does nobleman Wan really like jokers so much?" Nala agreed to see Wannai tugging at her, and she simply let go of the quilt, tears streaming down her face under the quilt: "Your status is higher than that of concubines, so you can see it if you want." Look, it's good enough to laugh if you want to, the concubine dare not go against your will."

Seeing that Nala promised to cry, Rong Yue stepped forward and couldn't bear it and said, "They are all my sisters. How can we make trouble when you are in trouble?" She bent down and looked at the swollen wound on Nala's face that was still oozing from time to time. Dense water, so he moved closer and blew on the fragrance: "Such a serious injury, I really suffered."

When Rongyue persuaded Nala to agree, Wanyu secretly stuffed the 'Jinchuangyu Muscle Ointment' into Rongyue's hand, Rongyue turned her head to look at her, she nodded slightly, with a faint smile, and agreed to Nala again Wen Ran said: "Sister Concubine Xian heard that you were injured, so she hurriedly took the 'Jinchuangyu Muscle Ointment' brought from the mansion. This ointment is very expensive, and it should take effect faster than the medicine powder from the Imperial Hospital."

Rong Yue responded by putting the 'Jinchuangyu Muscle Ointment' into Nala's palm, and Nala was startled, saying that she did not dare to accept Rongyue's big gift, and it was Rongyue who forcibly closed her palm, and she was ashamed to thank her.

Nala promised to enter the palace so far but has not received the mercy of the Holy One, and she is timid and naive by nature, easily deceived by others, and no one has ever treated her sincerely.

Now that Wannai and Rongyue showed their affection for a while, she felt grateful in her heart, and she no longer spoke coldly of hostility, but she cried even more sadly.

Wan Lai and Rong Yue comforted her for a long time before calming down her agitation.

The two took the ointment, and helped her apply it very lightly, and after working for a while, Rong Yue asked in a deep voice: "You should know that pollen attracts bees and insects, and you must not have taken the pollen yourself to even out the skin. "

Nala agreed to remain silent, Rong Yue frowned and asked again: "Today's event is dangerous, fortunately the bee is not poisonous, if you encounter a killer bee, your life will be considered a stake." Rong Yue said the last few words The voice was extremely heavy, seeing Nala promised her body trembled slightly, and said with a calm expression: "Since she wants to take your life, do you still trust her like that?"

Nala bit her lip in agreement, and said timidly: "I saw that the incense powder on her table smelled very good, and she was happy to give it to me, so I thanked her many times and took it away. How do you know that she has evil intentions? I I obey and cling to her in everything, I really can't figure out why she treats me like this."

Wan Yu shook her head and said, "Sister is confused, how can she get close to such a femme fatale?"

"But she gave birth to the eldest son and was favored by the emperor. In the past, the queen was afraid of her three points." Nala promised Sese: "She just gave birth to Chengrui, so she drew me to be close to her. I saw her constant favor, and my heart I am also envious. I am different from others, I really love the emperor, and I want the emperor to treat me sincerely. She promised me that she would speak to the emperor for me, so I agreed to her to get close to her, and because of this, I offended the queen .If I turn my back on me now, it will be a disservice to both sides, and there is no room for me in this palace."

Rong Yue restrained her voice and said: "My sister trusted someone wrongly. When you think about it, has the Ma Jia family ever really wanted to support you? Even if she wanted to, her position is only a permanent presence. How could she recommend you and let you inherit it once in a while?" Chong is on an equal footing with her?"

Seeing that Nala promised to be silent, bowed her head and wept secretly, Rong Yue took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and carefully wiped her tears, for fear of touching her wound and hurting her: "Today she can ruin your appearance, tomorrow you If she is favored, she can kill you as silently as she did with Fu'er! Your father Suo Erhe is only a fifth-rank doctor, and his official position is not high. Since you are lucky enough to be selected into the palace, it would be a pity if you were buried. ?”

"But what can I do?"

Nala agreed to be dull, and Wanyu, who was watching from the side, was impatient, and couldn't help pointing out the key points for her: "Sister, have you ever thought about making friends with the concubine Xian?"

As soon as these words came out, Nala promised to stare at Rongyue with narrowed eyes, and Wannai continued: "The concubine Xian is newly favored, and she is more sacred than the Ma Jia family back then. The niece of the empress dowager Cihe has such a relationship, so the emperor naturally values ​​her. And my sister has a very good temper. When she learned that you were injured and lost her mind, she dragged me to see you." Wan Lai paused, raised Pointing to the outside of the house: "My sister is looking at Man Gongli, who still has this kind of thought?"

Nala promised to stop her tears, held her breath and concentrated her mind, still sobbing a little: "But I used to obey Ma Jia's presence, and I often embarrassed the concubine Xian in the light and the dark, the empress is like this."

"You can't help yourself." Rong Yue stepped forward and held Nala's promised hand and held it in his palm: "I know that all kinds of things in the past were not your intention, but in the future, you don't want to follow Ma Jia and do shameless things. Son, so, when I see the emperor in my spare time, I can remind you, right?"

Nala agreed to Huanxi, lifted the quilt and saluted Rongyue anxiously, Rongyue hurriedly pressed her lightly, telling her to rest well, if there is something missing, just let someone come to Chengqian Palace to find her, and then watch her sleep on the pillow, then Leave together with Wanyu.

When they left the palace, they saw that concubine Hui was still busy, and the two greeted each other, and seeing that it was getting late, they hurried back to the palace.

In recent days, the food in the imperial dining room has been unappetizing, and the small kitchen in Chengqian Palace has blocked the flue and it chokes people badly, so Rongyue eats most of the dinner in Wanyu Palace before leaving .

Firstly, the food is more delicious, and secondly, I can get closer to Wanyu.

After dinner, Shuang Ruoxin made some candied pear soup for the two young masters to taste.

Rong Yue bluntly said that Shuang Ruo is good at craftsmanship, and joked about Lian Xin, her personal maid, asking her to learn from Shuang Ruo more.

"There is one thing I still can't figure out." Rong Yue put down the empty soup bowl in her hand, tapped an empty spoon in the bowl, and made a 'jingle' sound: "Since my sister wants to show her favor to Nalashi, why don't you come forward yourself? Instead, let me give you the 'Jinchuangyu Muscle Ointment', making her owe me this favor?"

Wan Yu smiled charmingly, and her red lips parted lightly: "What is the identity of my eldest sister and I, have you forgotten my sister? In the palace, the emperor, queen, and even the empress dowager are all jealous. And today's matter, my sister did it and spread it. Heart, if I do it, I don't know how I will be crowned with the reputation of forming cliques and confusing the harem." After speaking, she raised an eyebrow at Rong Yue: "It's also my sister's well-being, so I will be well."

Rong Yue held her hand, and thanked softly: "Please trouble me for everything."
