The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 541

Looking at the back of him leaving resolutely, a smile welled up on the corner of her lips for a moment.

In fact, he never cared about who the emperor liked to accept as his concubine.

What saddened her was how could such a gentle and jade-like man become such a greasy man now?
Waves of new concubines entered the harem, and waves of old people lost their colors.

She had expected that she would have such a day when she would be cooled down by the emperor, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

In fact, the purpose of persuading the emperor not to do ridiculous things is to preserve the reputation of the emperor, and it is also for the sake of the emperor's health.

It's just that such painstaking efforts are now worthless in the eyes of the emperor.

He only wants to be happy for himself, and he doesn't want to hear two rumors in the palace saying that he is no longer powerful, so he insists on setting up concubines and concubines to show that his style is still the same.

Wan Lai had been persuading her for a long time, and she was tired of persuading her, so she stopped persuading her.

In the days to come, it will be difficult for Wanyu to see the emperor again.

She was originally raising a pair of children in the palace, and she felt that there would always be quarrels when they met, and the two hearts gradually drifted apart, and it would always be a good thing if they didn't see each other.

But one day Linlan came to the palace early, she turned back and said to Wanyu secretly: "Sister is lazy these days and doesn't go out of the palace often, do you know who is the most favored concubine recently?"

Wanyu held up the rattle drum and was turning it to make Yin laugh straight: "Isn't it Zhuo Lan? Who else?"

"I don't know who changed it. I only know that there used to be rumors in the front palace that the emperor's dragon prestige is no longer there? Now they have changed their words and resigned." Lin Lan said mysteriously: "The person in front of the imperial court revealed his mouth. When sleeping, the emperor is always accompanied by Xuan alone."

"This kind of thing is not new." Wanyu sneered, "Isn't it common to call four or five at noon to promise to accompany you in the palace? But because of Chun Rixiang, I can understand it. Now What? How many people do you still have the energy to serve with? "

Lin Lan lowered her voice: "Last night, the emperor turned over the sign of the good concubine. I always thought that since the fourth concubine was promoted, I only paid homage to the imperial concubine, and I would like to thank my sister in the palace, so I went into the night Going to their palace alone, I wanted to remind them a few words. Unexpectedly, there is no one in the palace of the concubine Jin, no one in the palace of the concubine Xiang, no one in the palace of the concubine Tong, and no one in the palace of the concubine Xi."

Wanyu heard the words and unconsciously heard the hand playing with the rattle drum, and asked with a puzzled face, "Where can I go if I don't stay alone in the palace at night?"

"Sister, what other place do you think other than Qianqing Palace?"

Wan Lai thought about it for a moment, and suddenly felt a boulder blocking her chest, she shook her head again and again: "Have you read the records in the respect room?"

Lin Lan hurriedly said: "I've read it, it's an ordinary matter, I only wrote about the concubine who was carried away by Luanming Cheng'en sedan chair that day."

"Does anyone else know about this besides you? Does the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces know?"

"Whether the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces knows or not is impossible to know, but there are rumors in the palace. If there is a heart, how can they hide it?"

Wanyu felt more and more disgusting in her stomach. She remembered that Rong Yue was very attentive to the eight concubines during the two days of congratulations to the palace. She thought that what happened today must have something to do with her.

It was night, and Wanyu entered the Palace of Mercy and Renxian early to accompany the Empress Dowager Renxian to pay respects to the Buddha.

After reading a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, Empress Dowager Renxian said strangely: "You usually don't like these things the most, but today you can calm down."

Wanyu smiled hastily, put the Buddhist scriptures on her knees, and said worriedly: "It turns out that I have something hidden in my heart, and I want to come to the Queen Mother to seek safety."

In this case, Empress Dowager Renxian can see that it will come soon.

She smiled slightly, pondered for a long time before asking: "Since you have something to say to Aijia, if you make excuses and hold back, is it possible that you still have to wait for Aijia to ask you?"

Wan Lai put the Buddhist scriptures aside, and suddenly stood up and bowed: "Queen Mother, my concubine, I wish you and my concubine to enter the Qianqing Palace together."

Empress Dowager Renxian was full of surprise: "I'm afraid the emperor has summoned his concubine at this time, what do you want Aijia to do with you?"

"Purify the palace to preserve the reputation of the emperor."

Empress Dowager Renxian ordered Qingzhu to help Wanyu get up, and said in a solemn voice with frowned eyebrows: "You explain it to Aijia carefully."

Wanyan and her short and cryptic remarks explained the whole story to the Empress Dowager Renxian. The Empress Dowager Renxian was so angry that she hurriedly passed on the sedan chair and rushed to the Qianqing Palace with her.

When they entered the courtyard of Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong and Li Jianqi Qihou were outside the hall. Seeing that it was the Empress Dowager Renxian bringing Wanlao, they hurriedly went up to greet him and said: "My slave is to the Empress Dowager, the imperial concubine and empress. Greetings. It's nightfall God, why are you two here?"

Empress Dowager Renxian cast a glance at him, not angry but arrogant: "Where's the emperor?"

Liang Jiugong nodded, bowed his head and smiled apologetically, "It's already over."

Seeing that he was hesitating and hesitating, he couldn't speak well, so he asked again: "Who is serving inside?"

Liang Jiugong and Li Jian looked at each other, and quickly answered: "My concubine Liang is alone."

Hearing what she said, Wan Yu sneered and looked at him: "On weekdays, you only need to return to whoever you are, and this palace and the queen mother naturally know that she is the only one. Now I specially emphasize the number of people, but it seems that there is no silver 300 taels here. "

Empress Dowager Renxian frowned, and snorted: "How many people are in there? If you have a word to lie to Aijia, be careful with your head!"

Only then did Liang Jiugong realize that he was afraid, he took two steps back, and instead pushed Li Jian to the Empress Dowager Renxian to answer.

Li Jian had never seen such a situation before, he was so frightened that he knelt down immediately, tremblingly said: "If you go back to the queen mother, it will be the eight concubines."

Empress Dowager Renxian was taken aback for a moment, then said angrily, "Bold!"

She winked at Qingzhu, Qingzhu stepped forward and slapped Li Jian twice: "Is this how you usually serve the emperor?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Renxian was extremely angry, Liang Jiugong led all the courtiers in the Qing Palace to kneel down and said in unison: "Queen Dowager."

"Shut up for Aijia!" Empress Dowager Renxian took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Your sins will be counted with you later, Liang Jiugong, Aijia asks you, how long has the emperor been like this?"

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to hide it: "Since the concubine's ceremony at the beginning of November, it has always been more than ten days."

"Okay, very good! Go and order someone to fetch a warm seat, and the Ai family and the noble concubine will wait in this snowy day to see when they have enough trouble!"

Liang Jiugong had to order the palace servants to fetch warm seats, and added a few more charcoal basins to surround the Empress Dowager Renxian and Wanyu.

After everything was settled properly, he retreated quietly with a gray face.

Empress Dowager Renxian's eyes froze, and she stared at him firmly: "If you are going to tell the emperor, tomorrow the eunuch, the head of the imperial court, should be replaced by your apprentice!"

Liang Jiugong replied honestly with an apologetic smile, "How can I?", and then stood respectfully behind the Empress Dowager Renxian.

Wan Lai glanced back at him, saw that he was wrapped in a windbreaker but was sweating profusely on his forehead, and said just now: "Go and invite the head of the respect room."
