Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 66

Cuiwei Palace, a palace in the imperial palace that is more deserted than the Leng Palace, has a beautiful appearance, not like the old and mottled Leng Palace.On the contrary, it has a unique appearance and beautiful scenery inside the palace, which is a rare quiet place in the entire harem.


It’s just that in Cuiwei Palace, there is a large artificial lake between the main hall and the side hall. There are no pavilions, pavilions, bridges and corridors, and there are no other passages. , It is necessary to cross a dilapidated boat every day, so back and forth.


Fast forward to the beginning of February, it has been half a month since Yun Qing moved to Cuiwei Palace.The weather is gradually warming up, the sun is warm and shining, and finally it is not as cold as the previous two days.

Sitting on the boat, Yun Qing put away the jade flute, pulled the cloak on her body, and stood up.

The lake wind gently blew her hair, tangling it, like a lover's hand, it was hard to get it back.


From time to time, as the boat stabilized, Bi Tao ran out from the hall to help Yun Qing get off the boat, and then helped Xiao Taohong carry things.

However, when she saw the pitiful things she brought back, her face, which was originally slightly blue from the cold, gradually turned red with anger: "Isn't it, there are so few?".


She hugged those pitiful clothes and everyday things, and the resentment she had endured for a few days finally exploded. She stomped her feet in resentment, and she was about to step on the boat and plan to settle accounts with them.


"No need to go, Xiao Taohong has done her best." Yun Qing grabbed Bitao, helped her take things into the hall, and smiled comfortingly: "It's much better now than the first two days, the weather is not so cold anymore , We don’t have to run back and forth with the lake wind blowing every day. There are fewer things, at least we ask them to help with things that are released every few days, and they don’t make it too difficult for us.”


"Isn't this too embarrassing?" Bi Tao couldn't help raising her voice, and scolded with jumping feet: "Damn Shang Gongju, those people are really going too far, and they don't even want bedding and clothes to keep out the cold Add to us, they don't know how cold it is by the lake! They also said that the weather is getting warmer, and the items purchased by the Shang Palace Bureau have already been dispatched to keep out the cold, and now they are starting to buy single fur... Huh, I don't believe their nonsense It's clear that they withheld our belongings and blocked us with these words. Miss, you don't know how bad those people are. They seemed to make an exception and promised us that they could send us the items together in three days, but they reduced the amount of the three days. It became two days, and it was only for two people, you said, are they trying to starve us to death by doing this?".


"I'm sorry, miss, it's Xiao Taohong who has troubled you." Xiao Taohong lowered her voice, looked at the very angry Bitao, and secretly blamed herself for not only not helping the miss, but also hurting the miss and the others.

If she hadn't insisted on following the young lady, the objects distributed by the Shang Palace Bureau would still belong to two people, at least enough for the young lady and the others.


There has always been a rule in the Leng Palace, all concubines who are thrown into the Leng Palace can only bring a close maid to accompany them, so all distributions in the palace are only for two people, and those eunuchs take advantage of the situation to bully others, making it even more embarrassing in private .

and so……


"Silly girl, why are you stupider than me!" Seeing Xiao Taohong blaming herself, the straightforward Bitao immediately extinguished her anger just now and turned into a helpless sigh: "I don't blame you at all, I blame those unscrupulous palace people who bully you. People are too much. People put red on their bodies, and people splash water on them. Alas, they are all ruthless people."


"Bitao, Xiaotaohong, I'm sorry, I made you suffer." Yun Qingqing turned around, looking at the two kind girls who followed her wholeheartedly, she also felt distressed.

If it wasn't for being too casual, such an accident would not have happened that night, and Bi Tao and Xiao Taohong wouldn't have to suffer with him here.


"Miss!" Bi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to hold Yun Qing's hand, not allowing her to keep apologizing to them: "I've said it a thousand times, you are not allowed to say that again, otherwise, Bi Tao will cry for you!".

Her eyes turned red, and she really cried, not because of the pain, but because the young lady shouldn't suffer like this.


"Miss, we are not afraid of hardships and hardships. We can squeeze together on the same couch with Miss at night, eat the same pot of clear vegetables made by ourselves during the day, listen to the melodious flute played by Miss on weekdays, and spend happy days with Miss every day." Talking and laughing, although this kind of life is hard, it is the happiest time for Xiao Taohong growing up. Miss, Xiao Taohong doesn't want to be separated from Miss, not for the rest of her life."

Xiao Taohong stepped forward and held Yun Qing's other hand. Although she usually doesn't like talking too much, today she talked so much at once.Let Yun Qing know that in this world, besides Bitao, she also genuinely cares about herself.


"Hey, you two silly girls!" She gently hugged the shoulders of the two of them, and she smiled silly herself: "The three of us will never be separated. Hehe, we are actually quite happy now, although it is colder. , Bitter, but after getting used to it, it doesn’t feel bitter anymore. And we don’t feel the benefits of living here in spring, but in summer, this place will become the most enviable summer wonderland in the entire palace. At that time, if the lake Then the lotus flowers bloomed in the middle, lovely lotus pods grew out, and lotus seeds came out again... ".


The breeze was blowing on the faces of the three, although it was a little cold, but under the warm sunshine, the faces of the three were full of smiles yearning for the arrival of summer...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the Zhuhua Palace, He Ruowan was lazily sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, her slender nails picked up Ning'er, who was peeling the lychee specially tributed by the south for her, putting it in her mouth and savoring it with great enjoyment.

The lychees are round and round, soaked in the unique coldness of early spring, and in the warm and intoxicating Nuanxiang Pavilion, they are even more icy, cool and delicious.


"Well, it really is a good thing." She praised twice, took the wet handkerchief that Ning'er handed over at the right time, wiped her fingertips lightly, then turned her head, and lightly raised her jade wrist to the eunuch kneeling beside her: " Get up."

"Cha, thank you for your grace." The eunuch flipped his sleeves and kowtowed respectfully to thank him, then he stood up carefully, but his legs were already numb from kneeling.
