The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 69 Lifting the ban ([-])

At dusk, the sky is full of purple clouds, and the afterglow streamer is more prosperous, and the lingering and long-lasting drunk purple red covers the sky.

The eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy moving the palace, Dong Wenyin reluctantly bid farewell to Wanyu, when the two of them arrived at Chengqian Palace, the sunset glow had gradually turned to lavender, as if the sky had completely cleared, reflected in the early morning children standing at the door looking forward to Rong Yue's face.

Wan Lai blessed her with blessings, but saw that Rong Yue held her hand tightly with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "It will be fine when you come out, everything will be fine."

The west side hall has been unoccupied for a long time, and after being cleaned up suddenly, it is extremely dusty, Rong Yue ordered people to open the doors and windows for ventilation, leaving Wanyu alone to rest in her own palace.

At sunset, when the eunuchs in the No Palace dispersed, it was inevitable to hear Rong Guiren sneering outside the door, and the two of them just turned a deaf ear to it and just smiled.

In the middle of the night, some palace people left separately, but Rong Yue was so happy as if she had been released. Seeing that Wan Yu was so thin, she first ordered Lian Xin to fetch some snacks, and then started the stove in the small kitchen in the middle of the night to warm Wan Yu. Stomach-soothing lily and lotus seed soup.

"I put in so much for dinner, and I just used some snacks. If you want to feed me like running water again, won't my sister be afraid that I will support you?" Wan Yu joked, Rong Yue took her hand, with a look on her face. Full of smiles: "When Eunuch Liang delivered the decree, I couldn't believe it for a while, but when Kang Fushou, who was beside the queen, also came, I was so happy that I didn't know what to do. After all, the emperor still cares about you. , it is a great joy to be exempted from the punishment of being grounded."

Wan Lai sighed: "Who can guess the Emperor's Sacred Heart? But it's enough that you don't dislike me. It's the first happy thing to be able to live with my sister now."

"That's right." Rong Yue nodded and said: "If you are still kept in Yanxi Palace, Mrs. An does not know what kind of crazy thing she will do. The news that you were attacked that day scared me to death. Fortunately, Concubine Hui told me in detail that you are fine, so I feel relieved."

Hearing Concubine Hui's name was taboo, Wan Yu's heart couldn't help tightening, and she immediately asked with a serious look: "Sister, are you still on good terms with Concubine Hui recently?"

Rong Yue didn't understand what he meant and asked back: "It's always been like this, why do you ask this?"

Looking at Rong Yue's enthusiastic eyes, Wan Lai felt that she was really pure in heart, if she were told at this moment that both of them were killed by Concubine Hui, it would be inevitable that she would lose her composure and make something wrong again.

After thinking about it again and again, she finally raised a faint smile, shook her head and said, "Just a random question."

The two slept on the same couch, chatted for a long time, and they didn't know when they were tired, and they fell asleep after talking without saying a word.

In the morning of the next day, Wanyu and Rong Yue entered the Kunning Palace to pay their respects to the empress. The concubines in all the palaces got the news yesterday, and seeing Wanyu's radiant and domineering appearance, they couldn't help feeling angry, especially Mrs. An The bereaved son was the most resentful towards her, he rolled his eyes and glared at her viciously, then turned his head away and never looked at her again.

Seeing Wanyu saluting respectfully, the queen called her to take a seat with a calm expression, and only said after Qingyue served tea: "Wanyu promised to be confined to the Yanxi Palace for more than a month, and now that she is released, she must remember the past lessons in her heart, and act accordingly. You need to be more sensible.”

Wan Lai nodded in response, and didn't have a word to say to the queen.

Concubine Hui, who was sitting beside her, had a warm and thin smile on her face, and said happily, "It's good to come out, but you will be wronged."

Mrs. An was discouraged that the emperor had forgiven Wanyu, she was not angry when she heard what Concubine Hui said, she turned her head and muttered something disrespectful to Guo Luoluo Changzai, Wanna didn't want to pay attention, but looked at Concubine Hui calmly With a glance, he slowly said: "There is no wronged or wronged, if a small matter can see people's hearts clearly, it is worth it."

Concubine Hui was a little embarrassed, but she smiled again for a moment: "Yes, the emperor treats his younger sister the most sincerely, and now No Palace lives with Concubine Xian, and I will gossip with you two in the future, so I don't have to run around. It also saves trouble."

"Greetings to the palace today, I have a serious business to mention." The queen gazed far away with respect on her face: "The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the queen mother will return to Beijing soon, which is considered a happy event. The new concubine entering the palace The concubines and the Empress Dowager have not met face to face, and when Luan returns to court, I will bring all the sisters to greet the Empress Dowager."

The empress slightly turned her head to look at Concubine Yi, her head full of pearls and emeralds reflected star-like light, which dazzled people's eyes: "Except for me, Concubine Yi has the highest status in the palace, so you and I will be together in this matter." Let's cook."

Concubine Yi nodded and promised, and the queen looked at the concubines with a solemn look, and said: "Furthermore, the emperor and the empress dowager's sacred intention is that even the slightest news of the nobleman's miscarriage should not be heard by the empress dowager, lest the empress dowager Sad, the mouths of the east and west palaces, from the master to the slave, have to be sealed, do you understand?"

The other concubines didn't have any objections, but this matter involved An Guiren's son who passed away, and now that such unexplained suppression continues, the day of injustice may be far away.

She suddenly lost color, her face turned slightly pale, and she said angrily: "Is the life of the concubine and child given away for nothing?"

The queen raised her eyebrows and persuaded: "Mr. An, don't get it wrong. The emperor's filial piety can't bear the empress dowager's sorrow, but he will never indulge the person who murdered the emperor's heir. The Imperial Fanzi and the Dali Temple will investigate this matter secretly. I will definitely give your mother and son justice."

It was only the Queen's words that eased An Gui's life and made her reluctantly agree.

Today, when I invited An to go away, the Queen left Concubine Yi alone to discuss with her the details of welcoming the Queen Mother back to the court. After Rong Yue and Wanyu stepped out of the Kunning Palace, they invited her to enter the Jiangxue Pavilion in the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery. Wanyu just said Tired of resignation, he returned to Chengqian Palace.

Before she had taken a few steps, she heard someone behind her eagerly calling her, with a melodious and charming voice like Yingge, one could tell it was Concubine Hui.

Wan Yu was only deaf and kept walking, Concubine Hui almost slipped in the snow as she hurried to catch up.

She grabbed Wanyu's arm, panting with white breath in her mouth: "My younger sister can make my elder sister chase after me a lot."

Wanyu moved Concubine Hui's hand away very naturally, and said respectfully, "Concubine Concubine Hui pays her respects to Madam Hui Concubine, I wonder why Madam is looking for concubines?"

Concubine Hui was taken aback, her hands were awkwardly stirring the dark apricot-colored Juanzi, and she said with embarrassment: "Is my sister going to have a divorce with my sister?"

Wanyu shook her head and replied: "Your Majesty is serious. It's just that the concubine's status is low now, and she is a sinner, so she was taught by the Empress just now, so I dare not forget the etiquette."

Behind them, Yun Shan and Concubine Hui's personal maid, Ling Jiao, caught up with them.

Wan Lai and Yun Shan looked at each other, both of them couldn't hide their joy.

Concubine Hui looked at this scene, just now she smiled and pushed Yunshan slightly forward, jokingly said: "Miss Yunshan has become a diary in my palace to hang on to my younger sister, now that my younger sister is released, my older sister should also take care of this lovely girl." It's back in your hands."

Yunshan's eyes were wet and she was about to cry, she bowed to Wanyu and said: "My lord, you have suffered." Then she respectfully stepped forward to support her arm: "The road is slippery in snowy weather, my lord falls carefully."

Wan Lai smiled slightly and nodded to her, fiddled with the skirt that was somewhat soaked in snow water, and gave Hui Concubine another blessing, and said lightly in her mouth: "If there is nothing else to do, the concubine will return to the palace. The days of thawing snow are the most slippery, you have to be careful of the road under your feet."

After saying this, he left in a hurry without looking back while carrying the Yunshan head.
