The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 523
The events of this day finally left a shadow of doubt in the emperor's heart. Although he did not question Rong Yue publicly, his attitude towards her was getting worse day by day.

Wen heard that one day Rongyue prepared seasonal and delicious dishes and brought them to the Emperor, but the Emperor sent her out without even looking at her.As for calling her to sleep with him, he never even once.

Not only her, but also Ru Ge, Luo Fu, and Rou Jia, who were friends with her, were also left out in the cold.

Except for the occasional Chuan Wan Lai serving the bed, the old people in the palace lost their glory for a while.

But the one who lost was Chen Zhuolan, who looked mediocre.

At such a time, finally having Yin as a parent and child under his knees, life is not so sad after all.

The Forbidden City has entered midsummer, often accompanied by misty drizzle.

Wan Yu often got up when the sky was twilight, and sat in the courtyard blankly, watching the palace people busy around.

She was in a daze quietly, thinking about the friendship with the emperor over the years.

In the end, she realized that after so many years, she couldn't be sure in her heart whether she had ever loved that man or not.

Or, did that man ever really fall in love with her?Or are you only greedy for momentary pleasure, and the momentary self is different from others?
Ever since Yu Wanpan got involved with Wen Yin's death, Rong Yue's temper became more and more bad.The palace servants who served in Chengqian Palace heard about it every three to five days, either today someone smashed a jade with rough hands and feet and was punished with a stick, or tomorrow someone broke his mouth and turned his chances and was punished. silver.

In fact, these things happen in every palace, so they are the most common.

People eat whole grains and have seven emotions and six desires. How can there be nothing wrong with being diligent every day?

It's just that most of the others are muddling along, but Rong Yue's eyes are becoming more and more unmotivated.

This day was a day of great heat, and the concubines of Hegong were extraordinarily diligent, and entered Chengqian Palace early to invite the imperial concubine An.

It was the right day, and Rong Yue specially changed into a red phoenix kunshan gauze cloak. Her hairpins were mostly decorated with pure gold dots and emerald jewels, highlighting her noble status.

At that time, all the people arrived, even the people who promised Chang Zai were not allowed to enter the main hall, but they all sat in the courtyard under the sun and listened to Rong Yue's talk.

A few days ago, the emperor decided to travel south in September. Although he did not bring his concubine with him, everyone in the harem had to prepare the outfit for the emperor.

After discussing this matter for a while, seeing Que Zhen hurriedly entered from outside the hall, and Rong Yue muttered something, Rong Yue said coldly: "If she doesn't come, is it possible that I have to invite her?"

Hearing this, Luo Fu looked around the hall and asked Xianli: "All the concubines above the nobles are waiting in the hall to listen to what the empress has to say, who will be the future?"

Rou Jia covered her nose and smiled, looking at the concubines outside the hall who were soaking in the sun and sweating profusely, she snorted softly, "If you're not in the hall, of course you're waiting outside the hall."

Luo Fu took a look, and suddenly smiled coldly and strangely: "Hey, who is the concubine? Why isn't the most eye-catching Chen Changzai here today?"

Wan Lai squinted at Rong Yue and the others, you and I seemed to be singing a Huagu opera, she ignored it, and only cared about drinking tea and eating fruit.

After listening for a while, Shuangfu's shrill voice came from outside the hall: "Chen Changzai greets the imperial concubine and empress!"

It is not necessary for the eunuchs in charge of Chengqian Palace to pass on the status of the current ruler to pay his respects to Chengqian Palace.

Hearing him yelling so loudly and with such strength, he probably wanted to attract everyone's attention.

Wan Yu followed the prestige and saw Zhuo Lan rushing over, she knelt outside the hall and kowtowed: "My concubine asks the imperial concubine to be safe, my concubine is late for some reason, and I hope she will forgive me."

Rong Yue smiled leisurely, and said solemnly: "They are all my sisters, how can I blame you?"

After she said this, she ignored Zhuo Lan, and discussed with the concubines about the southern tour for a while: "The emperor is enthroned, and this is the first time he will go to the palace for a southern tour. Many things have to be prepared properly. Although the outfit for going out of the palace It is purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are half men after all, and their thoughts are no more careful than ours. We also have to deliberately add a lot, so that the emperor can feel our intentions, right?"

Wannai said softly: "The emperor's concubine has a heart. In fact, it is not difficult to find out the emperor's heart. Looking at the fact that Chen Chang has been serving the bed the most recently, we can know that today's late arrival is probably because of serving the emperor? The empress wants Chen Chang to be here. Kneeling outside the palace all the time, isn't it going against the emperor's will? It's a bit contrary to what I just said."

Rong Yue sat at the head, casually took the blue and white stone teacup placed on the small pear blossom wood case, and used the tea cover to skim off the large piece of tea leaves on it, the misty tea fragrance condensed into white air and wafted on her face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling On: "That sentence of yours sounds like Bengong wanted her to kneel down? She is willing to kneel herself, how can Bengong stop her?"

Roujia raised her eyebrows and looked at Wanyu, and said softly: "In the past, when the imperial concubine was favored by the imperial concubine, the one who greeted her every day was also respectful. Now that the times have changed, it's just a mere person who always replaces the imperial concubine's favor, The empress will not cure her of the crime of domineering?"

The words are gentle, but the meaning in the words is sharp.

Wan Lai pursed her lips and smiled slightly, but Concubine Rong Xiuyan, who was sitting next to Rou Jia, leaned forward slightly, her eyes were full of teasing and squinted at Rou Jia: "Concubine Yi is really virtuous, I can't be pampered, Why is Babaer remembering other people's love? Isn't it because he looks greedy and complains when he can't eat grapes? I remember that you were carried out after sleeping with the emperor last time. I wish I had "Chun Ri Xiang" to help If you can be carried out, it’s not as good as those promises outside that Chang Zai can coax the emperor’s favor.”

Her sarcasm made all the concubines in the palace smile, and Rong Yue also smiled for a while, before saying seriously: "Concubine Rong, don't forget the teaching of the Empress Dowager, that matter cannot be said."

Xiuyan said she knew she was wrong, she gave Roujia a wanton look, shook her head and drank tea.

Wan Lai smiled faintly, stood up and bowed to Rong Yue: "Today's summer season, the heat outside the palace is tight, the imperial concubine should ask Chen Chang to get up first. If the sun burns out, it will be the emperor who will feel distressed."

"I don't know if the emperor loves her or not, but I see how much you love her." Rong Yue snorted and sneered, "If you really like her, I will let her move to your palace to be with you." How about living together?"

Lin Lan only glanced at Rong Yue, stroking the hairpin and gossiping as usual: "The Changchun Palace is bestowed by the emperor to live alone with the concubine sister, how much face does the empress have to give Chen Changzai to live with her sister?" As she said, He called out of the hall: "Chen Changzai, you heard what the imperial concubine and concubine said just now. Since she didn't make you kneel, you should get up."

Rong Yue was angry in silence, her eyes seemed to sparkle to stare at Zhuo Lan.

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Lan actually complied with Lin Lan's words, got up and blessed her, and then hurriedly disappeared into the crowd at an extremely fast speed.
