The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 51

When Concubine Hui left that day, Wanyu immediately punished Yunshan to kneel in the snow for two hours, but she couldn't bear it anymore and she was spared the punishment for an hour.

Yunshan's personality was very similar to hers, and she didn't defend herself, she knelt for a long time without saying a word, and went back to her veranda to rest with tears on her face.

After that, she didn't often come to serve in the main hall for many days, but hid in the verandah or the small kitchen and refused to see people.

Although Shuangruo and Yunchan are also considerate in serving them, Wanyu always feels uncomfortable when she doesn’t see Yunshan often. She thinks that her punishment may have seriously hurt her heart that day, so she goes to the veranda to open her heart to her in person. We chatted for a while.

Yunshan said that she was fine, but Wannai looked at her appearance, and feared that she would still distance herself from her.

The silver snow fell outside the house for another two days, and this morning, Yun Chan folded the plum blossoms and put them in the colored glass vase in the dormitory. Seeing Wan Lai hugging a Tang lady leaning on the warm seat and looking at her with a smile, she hurriedly said: : "My lord, it's a sunny day outside. The queen summoned the concubines to enjoy winter plums in the snow. The slaves thought you were lazy and didn't want to move, so they picked some fresh offerings and put them in the bedroom so that you can enjoy them without leaving home." See, don't you?"

She held up the vase and moved it in front of Wanyu. There was still snow on the pink wintersweet, but now it was baked by a charcoal basin and turned into crystal clear snow, which slowly dripped on the table.

Wan Lai stared in a daze, outside the door, Shuang Ruo was rushing slowly with Rong Yue.

Rong Yue took off her blue-purple cloak and handed it to Lian Xin, before she could take her seat, she frowned and muttered: "Your palace is going to be lively."

"Didn't my sister go to enjoy the plum blossoms with the queen, why are you here in my palace at this hour?" Wan Yu pulled Rong Yue to her seat, and ordered Yun Chan to bring new tea leaves.Rong Yue stopped Yun Chan, pretending to be mysterious, and Lian Xin stepped back with her.After she and Wanyu were the only ones left in the sleeping hall, she said slowly, "Just now in Meiyuan, Li Changzai started a fight with Ronggui."

Wan Yu asked suspiciously: "Li Chang is pregnant with Jingui, what is Ronggui doing with her?"

Rong Yue smiled contemptuously, her brows and eyes were full of disdain: "Don't you know Ronggui's temperament? Today when she was admiring the flowers, she saw that Li Changzai's belly was slightly rounder, and she kept mocking that she was pregnant with a princess. Li Changzai It didn't happen right away, it was because Guo Luoluo Chang said some sarcastic remarks later, which made Li Changzai angry and argued with her two. I watched the three women quarrel in full swing, The queen can't even persuade me, I really don't want to listen to those vicious words, so I won't sneak up to be your company." She raised her eyes and smiled at Wanya: "In the end, you are the most lazy and never go to the crowd tie."

Wan Lai pointed to the snow fox cloak hanging beside the tent, shook her head helplessly and said: "The Emperor got a good piece of snow fox fur, the House of Internal Affairs is busy making it into a cloak, the Emperor gave it to me yesterday, it is exactly When I aroused the jealousy of Liugong, I rushed to enjoy the plum blossoms with them, and I didn't know how many bitter words I had to hear, so I was too lazy to deal with it."

Rong Yue took a closer look at the bright-colored snow fox cloak, and praised its beauty and luxury.

Then after about a stick of incense, there was a commotion outside the house, Wannai and Rongyue leaned out of the window curiously to look out, and saw that it was Li Changzai who was bringing his palace man Haohao Tangtang in. The main entrance of Yanxi Palace.

Li Changzai showed anger, and couldn't stop cursing: "What kind of thing is she, Ma Jiaxiuyan! How dare she curse the dragon fetus in my womb! I will definitely go back to the emperor, and see how arrogant she is!"

Her steps were extremely fast, but her pregnant body was full of wind, even the palace servants had to step up their steps to barely catch up with her.

Wan Lai and Rong Yue smiled at each other, shook their heads and said: "The emperor will come to Yanxi Palace to visit Li Changzai in three or two days, and the nobleman's words are useless, I'm afraid he will be reprimanded again."

When Ronggui was mentioned, Rong Yue became angry: "Has she been reprimanded less often? She doesn't have a memory either. In my opinion, she must be punished severely."

Ever since Chengrui was poisoned, Ronggui and Rongyue have always been hostile to each other, and the two lived together in Chengqian Palace, even seeing each other up and down.

In her heart, she believed that Chengrui was poisoned by Rong Yue, and others' words were just to exonerate her, and relying on Rong Yue's soft temper, she would have a falling out with her after closing the palace door in private.

Although Rong Yue is the head of the Chengqian Palace, the people in the House of Internal Affairs see that Chengrui is the eldest son and is valued by the emperor, so they cannot help flattering the honored man. It looked more like she was the main empress.

Rongyue was just cowardly at first, and Wanyu often went to her palace to see the nobleman domineering, and always taught Rongyue to use her status as a concubine to suppress her. Temperament, Wan Yuqian smiled and nodded: "Now my sister knows that it is always difficult to protect herself if she blindly pleases and shows weakness in this palace."

"what"

There was a sudden scream outside the door, and then the palace people shouted in panic.Wanyu hurriedly looked out the window, and saw that the gate of the side hall where Li Changzai lived was crowded with people, and even vaguely heard Li Changzai's painful groans.Her heart sank, she pulled Rong Yue up and ran outside.

Only then did he realize that the group of servants surrounded him was Li Changzai who had fallen by the steps.

Rong Yue's face turned pale with fright, she tugged at Wan Yu's sleeve and said, "What's wrong with her?"

Li Changzai clutched his stomach and screamed in pain, Wanyu was also scared out of his wits by the sight, and sternly scolded the palace servants, ordering them to quickly help Li Changzai to the bedroom to rest, then grabbed a palace maid and asked : "How did you serve Li Changzai, and how did you let her fall?"

The palace maid shivered and lowered her head and replied: "Li Changzai got angry in Meiyuan today, so I was in a hurry just now, but the servants were also diligently guarding behind me. Just now when Li Changzai went up the steps, he somehow escaped from the main hall. A snow-white cat jumped out of the house, Chang Zai was most afraid of cats, he backed away in fright, staggered and fell down."

"Cat?" Rong Yue glanced at Wanyu in surprise, raised her hand and ordered the court lady to invite the imperial physician, and then asked Wanyu in a low voice: "I remember you had a white cat in your palace, where is it now? Don't be It caused disaster."

"It's absolutely impossible." Wan Lai resolutely rejected Rong Yue's words, and then she frowned and thought for a moment and said slowly: "Xue Rong is afraid of the cold, and since I knew that Li Chang Zai was pregnant and afraid of cats, the gate of my palace has been closed every day , how could it be it?"

There was commotion outside the house, and the servants serving in the main hall and the small kitchen rushed over after hearing the news. First, Yun Shan saw Wan Lai's flustered expression, stepped forward to give her a hand and asked, "Is there nothing wrong, my lord? You are so big just now." Be quiet, yes"

"Where's Xuerong?" Wanlu interrupted Yunshan and asked hastily.

Yun Shan was taken aback, and replied falteringly: "The servants are watching them cooking lunch in the small kitchen, I have never seen them before. Presumably they are cats in some gap?"

Wanyu asked Shuangruo and Yunchan again, they both shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Her heart tightened, she secretly thought something was wrong, she pushed aside the palace people surrounding her and hurried back to the main hall to find Xuerong.

But before he took a few steps, he heard Yun Chan screaming behind him, pointing at the place where Li Chang had fallen and shouting: "My lord! There seems to be blood on the ground!"
