The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 91
Early the next morning, when all the concubines greeted the Queen in the Kunning Palace, a eunuch reported that Oboi died of palpitations and worry the night before.

Concubine Yi gave her a meaningful look, and after leaving the Queen's Palace, she had a private conversation with Wanyu.

But Wanyu didn't admit that it was her own doing, she only said that his life was over and he had no one to blame.

Oboi's sudden death has blocked the mouths of the former courtiers, even Ye Bilong was no longer impeached.

Three days later, the emperor drafted a decree to release the Oboi tribe, and was even more grateful for his great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. He allowed the Guerjia family to stay in the mansion in Beijing, and rewarded gold and beautiful jade to comfort people's hearts. .

The Ye Bilong family was also released at the same time as the Guarjia family.

However, it is considered a forgiveness not to be allowed to serve in the court, and to stay in Beijing to spend the rest of the year together.

The queen also did not contact the previous court to forcefully suppress Bilong's crimes, because the Niu Hulu clan, which used to be prosperous, has now been reduced to ruins like a century-old city, and there is nothing to fear.

The Empress Dowager, who has always been behind the scenes to force the empress to entangle with the concubine Yi, has now saved that thought. When the Empress Xuan Xuan meets with her, she can only ask her to be her mother's empress with peace of mind in the future, and there is no need to touch the sisters Niu Hulu thoughts.

But the previous dynasty's reliance has fallen, so how can the life of Concubine Yi and Wanyan be easier?
Concubine Hui who was the first to separate herself from the two of them was Concubine Hui who had already revealed her fox tail.

Ever since she broke face with Wanyu, she seldom walked around with Concubine Yi.

Until Ye Bilong was imprisoned, she was even more afraid of avoiding it.

In the past, Rong Gui, who had been punished by her for hindering Concubine Yi's family background, has become even more serious now. She is no longer rude when meeting Concubine Yi on the long street on weekdays.

Maybe she did too many unconscionable things, but she didn't taste any benefits.

Because of his domineering behavior, the emperor accidentally bumped into him, and was reprimanded and almost demoted.

Later, the elder brother Chengrui has been ill since the birthday banquet was poisoned, and he drank soup and medicine day and night to clean up the residual poison, which also broke her heart.

As for Mrs. An, she was even more aggressive. She wholeheartedly believed that the prince who died prematurely was the victim of Wannai. Now that she saw that her family was in decline, how could she not step on it?

In the palace, apart from Rong Yue and Dong Wenyin, only Nala, who had been taken care of by Wannai, promised not to make trouble when the wall was falling down.

In the blink of an eye, during the rainy season of July, the dragon fetus in the queen's belly gradually grew, and her whole body became swollen in this sweltering heat.

In this way, the ceremony of paying respects from the Sixth Palace was avoided again, and the imperial physician was called to serve in front of the bed all day long, presumably he attached great importance to this child.

The end of July is Concubine Yi's birthday, so it's not advisable to be extravagant because there are many things in the palace, so I just have a birthday banquet with a few concubines on good terms in my own palace.

After the congratulatory congratulations dispersed that day, the emperor came to Yikun Palace with a glass warm jade box in his hand, and congratulated Concubine Yi on her birthday with a smile all over her face.

The two sat down in the hall, and the emperor placed the warm jade box on the confession case in front of the seat, then looked at Concubine Yi with soft eyes and smiled, "Your birthday arrangement is so simple, but you have to invite me to have fun with you." yes."

Concubine Yi's eyes were gloomy, and she sighed quietly: "The previous court was busy, so I didn't dare to bother you. It's also hard for the emperor to remember the birthdays of my concubines."

The figure of the emperor was reflected on the gauze curtain of the Spring Sleeping Rose, swaying faintly with the wind.She looked a little displeased, but she still squeezed out a smile and replied: "I have you in my heart, so these things will naturally be in my heart."

He held Concubine Yi's somewhat cold palm, and his eyes flickered on her delicately made-up face: "Ever since your Ama was imprisoned, you have never wanted to get close to me. Now that everything in the house is peaceful, you still have to be with me." Alienated?"

The sun was warming, and she cast a glance on Concubine Yi's face. She blinked lazily, shook her head to the emperor with a tired face, and said, "When did my concubine alienate you? The daughter of a sinful minister, but I don't want to see you to offend me." I understand these truths that the courtiers and concubines have been in the palace for a long time without getting bored."

The emperor sat upright, unnaturally let go of the hand holding Concubine Yi, pointed to the warm jade box on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Thinking of your birthday, I specially found this thing to give you, let's see See if you like it or not."

Concubine Yi quietly opened the warm jade box, and saw that there was an emerald green finger ring inlaid with gold rims inside, but it was several times more delicate than the one she had been wearing for many years.

But she didn't take it out for a closer look, instead she touched the pigeon's blood on her thumb, and looked at the emperor with a calm eyebrow: "If the emperor gives this concubine again, I'm afraid the concubine will have nothing to admire." gone."

"It doesn't matter." The emperor raised his hand, took out the finger puller from the warm jade box, took Concubine Yi's hand, and replaced the blood jade ring finger on her thumb.

The emerald green ring finger really made Concubine Yi's soft catkin fingers more slender and white, but the ring finger inlaid with gold rims would always run into the index finger. Concubine Yi frowned slightly, shook her head with a smile and said: "The emperor just took off the finger ring Did you see that circle of pale marks?"

She picked up the blood jade wrench and looked at it carefully: "Since entering the palace, the emperor rewarded the concubine, the concubine has been wearing it day and night, in order not to forget the friendship between you and the concubine. Now that the time has passed, this friendship is also left on the body. Once the imprint is placed, the friendship cannot be exchanged."

As she spoke, she took off the emerald ring finger, put it on again with a blood jade ring finger, and then spread her five fingers and shook it in front of the emperor: "I don't want to take off the personal things when I fall asleep at night, so I have to get used to it." That's good. The emperor chose this finger wrench for a new one. Just looking at the texture, you can tell that it is priceless, but compared with the previous intentions, the old one is better after all."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and sighed: "I was negligent." He closed the warm jade box again, got up and put it under the drawer of Concubine Yi's dressing table: "But this gift is also my intention, But if you are nostalgic for old things, you can wear them. It’s just that I feel in my heart that this emerald ring finger is more luxurious and suits you better.” After saying that, he knocked on the warm jade box again, and raised his eyebrows at Concubine Yi. winked.

"Yes, but the concubine is not that lucky."

The emperor stayed in Yikun Palace in Japan, but in the middle of the night he went back to Qianqing Palace alone to rest.

This matter was seen by Liang Jiugong who had been serving all the way, and he only asked after returning to the palace: "The emperor leaked out at night, but the concubine Yi is not what he wants?"

"She was the most caring person, but her temper is too strong, hot and cold, I can't see what she is thinking."

Liang Jiugong nodded knowingly, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the emperor in a low voice: "Later, the Empress Dowager came with a message from Aunt Su Ma, and wanted to ask the emperor about the affairs of the previous court, and that thing will be given to Concubine Yi ?"

The emperor stared blankly at the flickering candles in the hall, and replied calmly: "There are some things she doesn't know all her life, but it's best for her. Since she wants to keep it, let her go."
