The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 50
Shuangruo saw Wanyou's angry cheeks flushed, and hurriedly persuaded: "Young master, don't get angry, Miss Yunshan is a straightforward person, but her mouth is not forgiving, but her heart is most toward the young master."

Wan Lai sighed softly: "Usually she relied on being close to me to bully you all so that I have already indulged her, but now her temper has become more and more arrogant. You see what she said just now, she seems like a serious master."

Seeing that the two had quarreled because of herself, Yun Chan felt so guilty, she blushed and said in a low voice to Wan Yu: "My lord, the slave is fine, and Sister Yun Shan is also because she fears that the slave has served honorable persons before, so she targets the slave like this You really don't need to reprimand my sister for these trivial matters. I believe that after a long time, my sister will see the sincerity of my servant's treatment of the young master. The servant was rescued from the fire pit by the young master. From the moment you gave your name to the servant , the servant vowed to be loyal to the young master for the rest of her life."

Shuangruo caressed Yunchan's shoulder, and said slowly: "You stay up day and night to take care of everything for the little master, the silver flower charcoal in winter, the ginger black tea to warm the stomach, and the soft quilt, which one is not you Take care? Your kindness, I have been in the palace for many years, and it is rare."

If it wasn't for Shuangruo saying so, Yunchan would be sent outside the door by Yunshan all day long and not allowed to enter the palace to serve, Wanyu really doesn't know that she has done so much.Immediately, his heart warmed up, and he looked at her for a long time, Yang Mei said: "It's freezing cold, you can wait in the hall in the future."

Yunshan ran across the courtyard of Yanxi Palace all the way to the palace gate. The snow was slippery and she accidentally fell on the snow. He lay down in the snow and cried.

Suddenly a black shadow appeared on the snowy ground in front of her eyes, she raised her head with tears in her eyes, first saw a flower pot bottom as large as warm jade with three pebbles embedded in the upper of a Su embroidered shoe floated in front of her eyes, she hurriedly looked up.

Concubine Hui was wearing a pink cloak with embroidered begonia pattern, reflecting the snowflakes in the sky, like a ray of red plum blossoming alone on a branch.

She took her hands out of the lake-blue hand warmer fox fleece sleeves, bent slightly and stretched towards the spruce to pull her up.Seeing her crying sadly, while wiping away the tears for her, she brushed off the snow stains on her body: "Why are you crying in the cold air in this snowy day? But your little master reprimanded you for doing things inappropriately?"

Yunshan only thinks that she has served Wanyu for many years. In the past, the two of them stayed together like sisters in the mansion every day. She never said a serious word to herself in front of others.

She suspected that Yunchan's purpose was not pure and she was devoted to protecting Wanyu, but she didn't expect that she would get angry with her because of a maid whom she had only known for two months, and she felt wronged, so fortunately she told Concubine Hui the whole story.

Concubine Hui listened to her words calmly, sighed briefly, shook her head and said pitifully, "Your heartfelt heart is not seen by nobleman Wan, what you say makes me cry even when I hear it." Really reddened: "I think you and Mrs. Wan have a childhood friendship. My palace married into Beijing from Mongolia, and the maidservants married by my mother's family both died of illness. I just want to say that there is no one around me. Mrs. Wan is here Fuzhong doesn't know it, Ben Gong will tell her well when I see her later." She gave Yun Shan a hand, and persuaded her earnestly: "Don't be too wronged, if your eyes are swollen from crying It’s not good-looking. The emperor often comes to Yanxi Palace, you serve in the palace, and the emperor often mentions your intelligence in front of this palace, presumably because he thinks of you differently.”

Yun Shan's eyes lit up, she wiped away her tears, her face was red and she shook her head, "Concubine Hui joked that the slaves and servants came from humble backgrounds, how could they fall into the eyes of the emperor?"

"I see that you are overly underestimating yourself." Concubine Hui lifted up her armored finger and gently slid it across Yunshan's cheek: "This beauty without makeup, I like it even after seeing it, let alone The emperor is here. Think about it carefully, when the emperor calls you to serve, does he just call you by your name?"

Yun Shan was startled, and nodded slowly.Concubine Hui coquettishly smiled and said: "That's it. You look at the whole palace, except for the personal servants of the empress and concubine Yi, which palace maid can the emperor call out by name?" He took a deep look at Yunshan: "Serve your master well, when you will fly to the branches in the future."

When Concubine Hui entered the main hall, Wan Lai was sitting on the warm seat with Dong Wen Yin, drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing her lift the curtain and come in, the two got up and hurriedly saluted, but she smiled and waved her hands, and walked to the two of them with a swaying posture: "We want to meet each other every day. If you don't forget the etiquette, you can't live forever." Do you have to spend your time on this?"

Dong Wenyin smiled and vacated the warm seat for Concubine Hui, moved a mahogany chair and sat down and joked: "Concubine Hui comes to our Yanxi Palace every day, and Mrs. Wan and I often play with you, so how can you be polite? at all?"

"Yikun Palace, which is also Concubine Yi's, is farther away, and the snowy road is so slippery that it's inconvenient to walk around. I watched the younger sister Xian concubine also run here for three or two days, and the people on the left and right in the palace were also bored. Well, it's more pleasant to chat with sisters." Concubine Hui rolled her eyes in all directions, looked at her for a moment and then asked, "Why don't you see Concubine Xian today?"

Wan Lai picked up a cup of tea and took a sip slowly, turned her eyes towards the Qianqing Palace and said with a smile: "Sister Ama has made meritorious service in the previous dynasty, the emperor invited her to the Qianqing Palace to reward her, and passed on her early in the morning. She and us Same, I haven’t seen my family for a long time, I’m so happy, how can I care about us?”

"After all, it is Concubine Xian's good fortune. After such an unfortunate incident, the emperor treats her better than before." Concubine Hui met Dong Wenyin's eyes, and the two looked at Wanyu together: "Speaking of Rong Chong , who can compare to you?"

Wan Lai smiled shyly and ignored the two, Concubine Hui continued: "Just now when I came to your palace, I saw Yun Shan crying outside the door with pear blossoms in the rain, and after careful questioning, I realized that she has been wronged by you. I just said a few words to her to tell her not to be wronged at the gate of your palace, lest others would look at you and gossip about you, but she got angry and said bluntly that this matter has nothing to do with me, and let me ignore my own business."

Wanyu's breathing gradually became heavy, she was silent for a moment and said: "I can't help her with her temper, she used to be a bit more tempered in my palace, but now she dares to contradict her elder sister, it's really absurd."

Dong Wenyin said softly: "Although Yunshan is arrogant and indulgent relying on her sister's favor, it's not like that, is it? Is there any misunderstanding?"

Wanyu shook her head: "I said a few words to her just now, her temperament is just like that, now that I have accepted Yunchan, I can see that she is getting more and more surly. I hope sister Huibin don't care about her, I will definitely do it in private." Punish her for being disrespectful today."

Concubine Hui smiled, shook her head and said: "What am I worrying about with her? I was worried about you. Don't say that I am soliciting truth with you, so as not to arouse resentment from those close to you." Concubine Hui's words were indifferent , raising his eyebrows, he also took the newly brewed Longjing on the table and drank it.

Wannao complied with Concubine Hui's words, and worriedly rolled the mandarin duck handkerchief in her hands, thinking that if Yunshan's temperament continued, she might cause trouble in this palace for a long time, and she could only be punished slightly. Only then can she know her mistakes.
