Harem for a living

Chapter 122

The matter of murdering Xiao Si, because Concubine Xian only said a few words without showing her face at all, so this cannot pull Concubine Xian off the horse, maybe it will make Concubine Xian bite back, Concubine De is not really stupid When he got home, he could only think of other things to make Concubine Xian suffer a big loss.

Concubine De thought for a whole night before she came up with a more satisfactory method.Calling Hongzhen and giving a few instructions in a soft voice, Concubine De turned around and started dressing up.After breakfast again, I went directly to Yongshou Palace to pay my respects.

"Congratulations to the empress, the emperor is happy to have Linzi, and the eldest prince has another brother. This is a great joy." The concubine Xian smiled gently, and after congratulating the empress above, she looked at Concubine Yang: "To the concubine as well." Congratulations to the empress."

"No wonder people in the palace say that Sister Xianfei is a virtuous one. Seeing what she said, those who didn't know thought you gave birth to a little prince yesterday." Concubine De smiled and teased Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian immediately put on a serious expression: "Sister Concubine De, I can't say this again in the future. The empress is the mother of a country. In terms of virtuousness, no one can compare to the empress. Although the little prince was not born by me, but that I am the emperor's son, so I should be happy for the emperor and empress, is it possible that you are not happy?"

Concubine De curled her lips: "Sister Xianfei's mouth has always been unmatched by anyone. The emperor and empress have added a little prince. I am naturally very happy. I am not only happy for the emperor and empress, but also for the queen mother." , The Empress Dowager must be very happy to have a grandson, but it's a pity that I was not the one to announce the good news to the Empress Dowager yesterday, otherwise, the Empress Dowager would definitely reward me."

"Sister De Concubine is also eloquent." Concubine Xian's eyes flashed doubts, she didn't want to entangle with Concubine De any longer, she simply turned her head to talk to Concubine Hui.Concubine Hui coughed twice and waved her hands, her voice was slightly hoarse: "Sister Concubine Xian, forgive me, my sister occasionally catches a cold and is not feeling well, please don't get too close to my sister, or else I will catch my sister's illness, it will be a disaster My sister is gone."

Concubine Chang asked with concern: "Are you okay? I still have some loquat juice in there. It sounds like you're coughing badly. I'll send someone to bring you some later."

"Thank you so much, sister." Concubine Hui immediately said emotionally. Although Concubine Chang didn't smile often, she spoke softer now, and she and Concubine Hui said to each other that the weather is cold and you should pay attention to your body. Class words.

Chen Manrou looked at Concubine Xian and frowned slightly, and smiled secretly, didn't you want to win Concubine Hui?Now that Concubine Hui has turned against you, Concubine Chang is unwilling to talk to you anymore, and both sides have isolated you. It depends on how you will pass on your virtuous reputation in the future.

She raised her eyes and peeked at the Queen's face, seeing that the Queen didn't intend to rescue the Concubine Xian, Chen Manrou was very unkind and secretly amused herself, in front of the Queen, you dare to spread your virtuous and dignified, it really is a crooked way of life.

"Mother, Ma Jieyu has merit in giving birth to a son, I don't know who this is..." Concubine Liu asked on the side, and when she asked this, [-]% of the people in the hall pricked up their ears.Especially Concubine Yang Gui, who looked tired and hadn't spoken much.

The queen held the teacup and didn't speak. After a long while, she said slowly: "This matter is up to the emperor, so don't worry. Anyway, the fifth prince is not yet full moon, so this matter is for the time being." Let it go."

"The fifth prince's three baptisms will be handed over to Concubine Yang. After all, Ma Jieyu also lives in Jingren Palace. Concubine Yang, you have to take care of the three baptisms." The queen turned to look at Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang stood up and saluted: "I know that I will not disappoint the emperor and empress."

The queen waved her hand: "I know that you have always been capable. It's okay, it's getting late, I still have some things to deal with, so you all go back."

All the concubines bowed and retreated, Concubine De called Concubine Xian who was about to get into the sedan chair: "Sister Xian Concubine, I found out that there are more wintersweet blooms in the Imperial Garden yesterday, and the scenery at Wanchun Pavilion is unique, how about Shall we go enjoy the scenery?"

As she spoke, she stretched out four fingers and shook them in front of her. Concubine Xian originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw De Concubine's action, she felt a slight movement in her heart, nodded and smiled and said: "Since De Concubine's younger sister has such a leisurely and elegant taste, sister should not be afraid of it." As a companion."

The two sedan chairs left, Concubine Hui curled her lips at the back, Concubine Chang smiled and said, "Concubine Hui, if nothing happens, why don't you go to my sister's Palace of Yanxi Palace? My sister just wrote a poem , and ask my sister to go over and give pointers."

"My younger sister is a famous talented woman. I'll show you how to use it. However, the Liu'an tea in my younger sister's palace is quite delicious. My older sister has to have the cheek to ask for two cups." Concubine Hui replied with a smile. The people looked at each other, then turned their eyes away, each turned around and got on the sedan chair, and went to the Yanxi Palace of Concubine Chang.

Concubine Liu was dissatisfied from behind: "Sister Concubine Shu hasn't left yet, Concubine Chang is quite courageous!"

"Forget it, who makes people more favored now." Concubine Shu looked at the direction Concubine Chang left with a half-smile, then turned to Concubine Liu and said, "I'm worried about the second prince, so I'll take a step ahead, Liu Sister concubine should go back quickly, the second princess might wake up right now."

"Thank you, sister, for your concern. I respectfully send Concubine Shu off." Concubine Liu said with a smile, and when Concubine Shu turned around and got into the sedan chair, she got up, her eyes darkened, she looked at Concubine Wei standing in the corner with her head down, and sneered They also followed.

It didn't take long for the movement at the entrance of the main hall to be reported to the queen.Mother An was very annoyed: "These foxes have their eyes on the top of their heads, don't they just rely on how good-looking they are?"

"Shut up, mama!" The queen scolded, her eyes were unpredictable, and after a while, she suddenly smiled: "This palace is waiting until Concubine Chen Gui is about to make a move, let's watch first, and when the opportunity arises, Just help appropriately. They have to understand who is in charge of this harem."

Nanny An nodded quickly: "What the empress said is, let them know who is the biggest in the harem!"

"Nurse, you've been talking too casually these past two days." The queen glared at Nanny An again, and Nanny An quickly slapped herself on the mouth twice. Sin, slaves will never dare again in the future.”

The queen nodded and said: "At this moment, the good show is probably about to start, Wuyao, you find out the phoenix spreading clothes of the palace, and let's go for a walk in the imperial garden."

"Your Majesty, I'm guessing that I'm going down now. The emperor is upset these two days. Why don't you invite the Emperor to visit the Imperial Garden together?" Meng Liu asked softly while combing the queen's hair.

The queen frowned, Mengliu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubines in the harem are all the emperor's women. Besides, you have always been a virtuous concubine, so the emperor has to see this kind of thing in person."

The queen was silent for a while, then reached out and took a hairpin and stuck it in her hair: "You are right, I can't spoil the emperor's impression of me." Concubine Xian has always had a good reputation. It is widely rumored in the middle school that Fu Taishi's daughter is dignified and virtuous, and she can be called a model of women.

Concubine De has always been a person who is a bit clever but not very clever. If things are not handled properly, Concubine Xian might be able to turn around when she comes to the emperor.When the time comes, even myself, the queen, will be charged with unfairness.

Therefore, it is best not to handle this matter yourself, and let the emperor see it in person.In this way, Concubine Xian's mask can't be worn anymore.

Looking at the makeup in the mirror, she was quite satisfied. The queen got up and pulled the hem of her coat and ordered: "Isn't there stewed pigeon soup in the small kitchen? Put it on for me. I'm going to the Qianqing Palace to pay my respects to the emperor."

The emperor was grading papers, and when he heard Liu Cheng's notification, his face was a bit surprised, and then he calmed down, so Liu Cheng hurriedly invited the queen in: "Why is Zitong here free today? But what's the matter?"

"If I go back to the emperor, my concubine sees that the emperor has worked hard all day and has lost a lot of weight recently, so I asked the kitchen to make soup for the emperor." The queen smiled and gestured to the food box, and the emperor nodded with a smile: "Zitong's heart, Of course I will take it."

Liu Cheng came over and took the food box winkingly, brought out the soup inside, tested it with a silver needle before sending it to the emperor.The Queen wasn't angry either, anyway, that's how the rules are, no one is an exception, she has no ability to go against the rules of her ancestors.

"Your majesty, you can never finish this matter. If you are doing this every day, you will only damage your body, and you will accumulate more things." The queen persuaded with a smile in a slow voice: "Today's concubine is Come here to ask for grace. I beg the emperor to accompany my concubine to stroll around the Imperial Garden to relax. When I am in a better mood, I will do things faster. Didn’t Ouyang Zhan say that? Music, poor and desolate, exhausting thousands of bells, vigorously developing, teaching silk and bamboo, you will have work and rest, how can you have fun!"

"Zitong is becoming more and more able to talk." The emperor laughed, stretched out his hand to close the folder: "Since it is Zitong's invitation, I have to give face, so let's go to the Imperial Garden. The winter plums in the Imperial Garden a few days ago Isn’t it open? Let’s just go to admire the plum blossoms, Liu Cheng, prepare some drinks and go over.”

The empress was in a high mood, and her face was blushing a little, she followed the emperor while walking towards the imperial garden.

"Concubine Xian, please forgive me, Concubine Xian, this concubine really didn't do it on purpose." As soon as they got near the Wanchun Pavilion, the emperor and the queen heard a crackling sound coming from the Wanchun Pavilion at the same time, and then a woman suddenly shouted stand up.

The emperor frowned, the empress was a little surprised, took a peek at the emperor's face, and then asked a little puzzled: "I claim to be a concubine, this, should I be a concubine?"

"Your Majesty, it seems to be the voice of Defei Concubine." Mengliu reminded in a low voice, the queen suddenly realized, and was a little puzzled: "What's going on? Mengliu, go and see if Defei just doesn't Be careful, let Concubine Xian not worry about it."

Mengliu replied, and hurried to Wanchun Pavilion.The queen turned around and tugged at the emperor's sleeve: "Your Majesty, let's go to Jiangxuexuan, where a lot of white plum blossoms are also in bloom. Let me ask someone to bring over the plum blossom snow I collected last year. Let's make tea and enjoy the scenery?"

The emperor just nodded, turned around and was about to walk towards Jiangxuexuan, just two steps away, he heard a shout from behind: "The emperor save this concubine, empress, please save this concubine, my concubine didn't intend to offend the virtuous Concubine's."
