The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 29 Storm ([-])

The Empress Dowager pointed out that Wanya's words were reckless and wrong, and Wanya secretly sighed in her heart that she said something wrong, but it was hard to explain at the moment, so she had to smile awkwardly and nodded in agreement.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Wan Lai, with a half smile but not a smile, she did not believe her words, she leaned against the thin pillow, took a silver fork and gave some grapes to the mouth.After a long while, he said slowly, "The grapes offered by Gaochang this year are particularly sweet. Su Ma, you can wrap some up later and send them to the Wangui Palace."

Wan Yu was taken aback, fearing that she would not be able to bear this honor, she immediately got up and said respectfully: "The empress dowager loves me, and my concubines are afraid."

The Empress Dowager nodded and coughed twice, and Lagu Su Ma immediately stepped forward to stroke her back: "Empress Dowager, it's time for you to take the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Wanyan stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager wittily, and looked earnestly at the Empress Dowager: "I will serve you with medicine."

"I have a heart." The queen mother raised her hand, and pointed to the sun outside the window: "Aijia has a problem with her body. She tends to sleep more when she wakes up in the morning. I have talked to you for a while today, but I will miss you." Greetings to the queen." She fiddled with the silver fork in her hand, and looked at Wanyu with frowned eyebrows: "The queen has a good temper, and she rarely cares about concubines, so you have to respect her even more, understand?"

Wanyu's heart skipped a beat, she understood what the Empress Dowager meant, she knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, and then hurried to Kunning Palace.

On the other side, in the Kunning Palace, the queen ordered someone to give some red guavas to all the concubines, and said with a smile: "The red guavas are ripe now, and they are crystal clear and plump. Someone picked some red guavas yesterday. Come, I want you sisters to try something new together." After a short pause, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Li and agreed: "Besides, the fact that pomegranates have many seeds is really a good meaning."

Everyone stood up and saluted to thank: "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."

The queen ordered everyone to sit down, and Ma Jiachang stood up in front of Concubine Yi, casually took a large round pomegranate from the box carried by the eunuch, stepped forward gracefully and put it on the vacant seat of Wanyu.

"Last night, my concubine heard that Luanming Cheng'en sedan chair was picking up nobleman Wan. This morning, I heard the eunuchs in the palace discussing that the emperor gave nobleman Wan to stay in Qianqing Palace. This Kunning Palace stands behind the tail of Qianqing Palace. , I don't see her coming to pay her respects at this hour, maybe she was left behind by the emperor for breakfast, I don't know."

She raised the corner of her mouth, glanced at Concubine Yi, and took two steps closer to her: "The empress now has more red guavas, so you can leave more for nobleman Wan. If she gets an heir, she will be as famous as Concubine Yi someday." It's over."

The queen sighed sullenly, and reprimanded: "Sit down and talk first, you don't have to run around all over the place, so the "Women's Rules" these days is just a waste of time?"

The queen's words caused everyone present to burst into laughter. Ma Jia often glanced at the queen, although she complained, she had to swallow it, and sat back in her seat in desperation.

Chang Zai Guo Luo Luo Roujia, who was newly favored by Jin Feng, squeezed the sore back of her neck, gave a light 'ah', covered her lips and said, "Looking at this hour, Mrs. Wan may not be able to come today." She Looking at the queen, his expression was slightly correct: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave earlier."

Before she finished speaking, she heard the eunuch serving outside the door shouting in a high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty Wan is here, and I greet the queen."

Ma Jia often raised her eyebrows, seeming annoyed: "The slaves in the empress's palace are really smart, and they didn't even give a notification when the nobleman was not favored. This is just when she is going to bed, I can't wait to shout my voice out."

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Wanyu panting heavily and sweating dripping into the hall, she knelt down to salute the queen from a distance, rejoiced for a moment, and then saluted after she calmed down a bit: "Concubine to the queen My concubine, please be safe, my concubine is blessed with golden safety. The concubine is late, I hope the empress will forgive me."

The queen took a sip of tea, and Fang Xu said: "You have worked hard in bed, so get up and give me a seat."

Wan Lai thanked her for getting up, then looked at Concubine Yi who was sitting on the seat, smiled at herself, and nodded slightly.

After sitting down, Rong Yue looked at Wan Yu with a dimple-like smile on her face: "Last night, I told Sister Hui Concubine and Concubine Yi the news, and they were all overjoyed."

Concubine Hui peeled off a grapefruit on the table, and answered Rong Yue's words: "Yes, although the emperor dotes on our sisters, but you are the first to receive the favor of staying in Qianqing Palace."

Wan Lai had a shy face, and timidly kept silent.Ma Jiachang frowned slightly, and smiled lightly: "The eunuch in the concubine's palace was passing by the corridor next to Yanxi Palace last night, and by chance, he met the Luanming Cheng'en sedan chair parked at the gate of Yanxi Palace."

She paused for a moment, raised her eyebrows and looked at Rong Yue, took a silk handkerchief and lightly pressed the powder on the tip of her nose, and said with a flattering smile: "Who knows that Mrs. Wan hasn't said anything yet, but the maid of the concubine Xian greeted her happily, Babaer I want to help concubine Xian get on the sedan chair."

Rong Yue's complexion sank, she didn't talk back, and lowered her eyes sadly.

Ma Jia often sees her flinching, and is even more interested: "Oh, I don't know who I learned this ear-picking behavior from. If the eunuch in the respect room didn't stop me, I might have brought the wrong person to make a fuss." Big joke?"

Seeing Rong Yue being humiliated by this, Wan Lai felt resentful in her heart, she immediately darkened her face and wanted to tell Rong Yue differently, but it was Concubine Hui who was ahead of her, and said to the Queen in a harsh tone: "Ma Jiachang is losing her sense of proportion, the Queen will let her go." her?"

"Ms. Hui concubine's words are biased. Sisters are gossips. How come they will be accused of such inappropriate words when they come to my concubine?" Ma Jiachang was slightly sneering, and said with a sneer: "I have done something disgraceful. , don’t let others tell you?”

Wan Lai raised her voice slightly, and stared at Ma Jia Chang Zai sternly: "You designed to harm Yu Wen, and who will talk about you in the palace for such a lowly thing?"

Ma Jia Changzai was not afraid, met Wan Lai's gaze, and said in a fixed voice: "Nala promised herself that she would make a fool of herself by inviting pets, so what does she have to do with concubines? As for the pollen, it was the concubine who had researched and brewed honey water to drink. Yes, she stole things from the concubine's palace, and the concubine has not yet had an attack, and the concubine's status is higher than hers, and when she recovers from her illness, she must be punished so that she can understand the rules."

"What Ma Jiachang said is very true, but I don't know how much higher the status of the concubine Xian is than you. Is that what you said just now the etiquette for you to talk to the concubine Xian?" Wan Yu sneered at Ma Jiachang. , shook the teacup on the table, and said solemnly: "If the concubine makes an idea for the concubine Xian, Ma Jia often commits crimes by speaking out, presumably the result of the thorough reading of "Women's Rules" is not good, why don't you copy the last ten chapters?" Repeat it eight times, and use it with your ears, eyes, hands, and mouth, and you will be able to understand the sages of the ancestors."

Ma Jia often twitched her lips and said, "Your Majesty Wan is getting more and more tempered now that she has gained a new favor? Are the Empress and Concubine Yi gone? A mere nobleman has become the master of the master."

Concubine Yi raised a humorous smile, and stroked the bloody dove finger on her finger: "If you want to copy it, I don't think it's enough to copy it ten times or eight times. Even the emperor praised Ma Jiachang for her beautiful handwriting, so why not do it?" All the women in the harem copied a copy, and it was a blessing to distribute it."

Concubine Hui smiled happily after receiving the words: "That's right, there is only one thing that Ma Jia often has to pay attention to. The concubine and the empress dowager are both of Mongolian origin. Writing, the Empress Dowager will definitely appreciate your filial piety."

Rong Yue stirred the silk in her hand and didn't speak, her expression looked a little hurt.
