The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 74
Later that day, Yun Shan told Wan Yu that she felt unwell due to Yue Xin's sudden illness, and wanted to go back to the verandah to rest first, so she asked Yun Chan to stay in Chengqian Palace.

At night, there were very few palace people walking around the long street, Yunshan took small steps, bypassed the verandah and went straight to Changchun Palace where Concubine Hui lived.

The cool evening breeze blows slowly into the spruce and quicksand, creating a faint coolness.

The wind revives the flowers and trees in spring, which is very refreshing.

In the distant sun, there was a bright red twilight, spreading out the sky like a beautiful picture scroll, but Yunshan's hurried steps and frowning brows did not match this scene.

When entering Changchun Palace, Nala, who lived in the side hall, agreed to go to Yuhu Lake to enjoy the night view with Wang Jiazhen, who also agreed.

In the main hall, Concubine Hui was holding a Buddhist bead and retreating to the left and right, reciting Mongolian proverbs softly in her mouth, looking very devout.

She seemed to realize that the gauze curtain behind her was lifted, she paused and said slowly: "Didn't you say that you don't need to serve?"

Yunshan Fuyi replied, "Miss Hui, she is a slave."

Concubine Hui turned her head with an 'oh', and was not surprised to see that it was Yunshan, she raised her chin slightly to signal Yunshan to help her up.

The relationship between the two seems to be very familiar, Concubine Hui is also very kind to her, and even gives her a seat after she is seated.

Yun Shan hesitated a few words in panic, but Concubine Hui couldn't resist her temperament and had to sit on the small chair with phoenix pattern.

The six pairs of phoenix-patterned small chairs standing under Concubine Hui are the places where concubines who are lower than her rank usually sit and have a rest when they come to the palace to pay their respects. In the end, Yunshan was just brought into the palace by Wanyu. The Grand Palace Maid was originally serving in the Palace of Yanxi Palace when Wan Lai was favored, and she was not allowed to sit down, so Concubine Hui seemed to be closer to her.

With a flick of her sleeve, Concubine Hui pointed to the melon and fruit snacks on the display, and asked her to choose something that suits her own taste, so there is no need to be restrained.

Yun Shan peeled a longan with dry skin, picked out the core and ate it, and then Concubine Hui asked, "Go back and promise to serve by her side, how does she treat you?"

Yunshan said sadly: "It was Yunchan who accompanied the young master through the confinement. The relationship between her two masters and servants is now much closer, and there is no place for me to stand." After saying this, Yunshan rushed to Hui again The concubine raised a warm smile: "It doesn't seem to be comfortable with the empress, and there is no need for the empress to treat me kindly."

Concubine Hui waved her hand and said 'hi', showing a bit of a smile: "I have been on good terms with your young master, and you are her personal maid, so I treat you differently from others, and I just love my house and my crow. What's more, we Your Majesty values ​​you very much, and if you fail to keep the balance, you will fly to the branch, and you may be able to become sisters with me at that time, I don't know."

Yun Shan's eyes darkened, and the corners of his eyes flickered a little: "There is no me in the emperor's eyes, it's just that I am in the light of the young master. The empress's words of loving the house and the black are also applicable to the slaves."

Concubine Hui looked at her dejection and loss, and replied lightly: "Even Ai Wu and Wu have this kind of friendship, it's better than those sweeping maids." Soon she laughed again: "You are fair and beautiful, and you are born with a natural talent. Jia, is there any man who doesn't love beauty? Besides, our emperor is at a young age, you just need someone to help you. You and your little master are on good terms, and it's a master-servant friendship for many years. Have you told her what you think?"

Yunshan shook her head slowly, and Concubine Hui asked again: "If you are favored, it will be beneficial to her. If you have time to mention it to her, if she really loves you, she will give you a good way out."

Concubine Hui saw that Yunshan didn't answer, she lowered her head and took a sip of the drunken black tea, with a gleam of sadness on her face, she said after a while: "Those who enter the palace as slaves and handmaids must die, how can she bear to see you survive until the Empress Dowager?" What is the age of Nanny Su beside her? By that time, after five dynasties, her bright eyes will be dry and bitter, won't she live up to her god-given face?"

Yunshan suddenly left her seat and knelt down, her knees almost fell to the ground as hard as a hammer, and there was a loud 'dong' sound, the teacup held in Concubine Hui's hands almost fell to the ground in shock.Before Concubine Hui could regain her composure, she watched Yun Shan shed tears like rain, kowtowed like garlic and said, "May I ask you to show mercy, and please save my slaves and maidservants out of the flames!"

Concubine Hui's expression was slightly calm, and she looked at her more softly: "Oh, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Yunshan cried more and more sadly, sobbing and complaining: "I am not willing to die in old age. In the palace, when I was in the mansion, I learned that the young master entered the palace, so I asked myself to come, because I knew that I came from a humble background. It is also the life of a slave for the rest of my life. Only when I enter the palace and win the mercy of the Holy One, can I have a chance to change my destiny! The slaves have served others for seven years, and they have had enough of worrying about life. This life only asks to be the master for once !"

Concubine Hui smiled mysteriously, but her tone was extremely gentle and she said: "You do have ambition, that's all, I will take this opportunity to talk to your young master and see how I can plan for you."

Concubine Hui left her seat, approached Yunshan and helped her up, and took the flowing satin silk handkerchief from her sleeves to wipe away her tears: "What a beautiful woman, it makes people feel distressed when she cries."

Yunshan stopped crying for a while, supported Concubine Hui's hand and bowed to thank her, and said: "Please don't tell the young master, if the young master knows that I have such thoughts, she will definitely send me back to the mansion! The young master is very scheming, even the master's step-wife was defeated by her plan in the mansion before, now that she is in favor, how can I allow me to use her favor to climb up?"

Concubine Hui was a little suspicious, frowned and asked: "You are so far apart from her? Ben Gong sees that Wan Xu is a very good person, how could she?"

"Your Majesty." Yunshan interrupted Concubine Hui's words abruptly, and said coldly, "Your Majesty really thinks that the young master is a good match? She treats me well, but she just wants to show me her sense of superiority due to her noble birth." , What is the difference between me and those kittens and puppies she will raise? If you are happy, you will gnaw on a bone, and if you are not happy, you will scold at will."

As Yun Shan spoke, she became more and more aggrieved: "In the mansion in the past, there were too many times to boss me around! Now that I entered the palace, but deliberately confessed that the master wants me to stay in the mansion, it really doesn't leave me with any hope. , In the end, she left a word of her being kind to me, it's ridiculous!"

Seeing that Concubine Hui seemed unmoved, she was heartbroken and said again: "Furthermore, you, Madam, do you really think that she is being kind to others when she makes friends with you? She just wants to get the emperor's favor from you."

Concubine Hui seemed not to believe her, she raised her charming eyes, and said calmly: "What you said is that doting depends on the emperor's will, how can you share the doting?"

Yunshan's eyes were gloomy and gloomy, and she stared at Concubine Hui with a sneer: "You know, Madam, every time the emperor summons you to sleep, why does he ask you to stay alone in Qianqing Palace for three out of five days?"

"How do you know?" Concubine Hui looked at Yunshan in amazement. She thought that she was the only one who knew about such embarrassing things. These words seem to hide a mystery.

She was about to ask, but she heard Yunshan slowly say: "Every night, the Emperor Xiaoyu Sixth Palace summons you to sleep, but secretly, he sneaks into Chengqian Palace! Today I will stay at the concubine's place, and tomorrow I will stay at Our master's place is very romantic and happy!"

Concubine Hui was ashamed and annoyed, she felt the air around her condensed into a cone, stinging every inch of her skin.

That's all for Wan Yan, but what is she, Tong Rongyue?
The Tong family ruined her family's glory in the previous dynasty, and now they are robbing her of the sacred favor that should belong to them in the harem. They are so relentless, are they going to slap themselves in the face?

Concubine Hui's lips and teeth trembled, her eyes were closed tightly, her throat was tight, and it took an unknown amount of time before she uttered angrily:
"Please tell me in detail."
