Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 773

In the early morning of the next day, the refreshed Murong He left Chunxi Hall contentedly.

Concubine Xian leaned on the beauty couch, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she had a special charm.

"Your Majesty seems very unhappy?" Concubine Xian's personal maid, Zhihua, looked at her and asked worriedly, "My Majesty is currently in the midst of a pilgrimage, why is her face so sad?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I'm a little troubled." Concubine Xian closed her eyes and rested her mind. Zhihua immediately walked around behind her and gently squeezed her shoulders. Just know how to deal with it."

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that His Majesty trusts you to entrust such an important matter to you. If Your Majesty can manage this banquet properly, she will surely gain His Majesty's favor even more in the future. If she can give birth to another prince in the future, this status will be more important. can be more stable.”

"Why don't I understand what you said? It's just that sometimes, you can't be too greedy, or you will make a wrong step." Concubine Xian sighed softly, "Forget it, don't say these disappointing words, wait a moment." I will let you go with me to Fengluan Hall."

"Miss?"

"Zhihua, you can't be short-sighted, and you must not get dizzy for the momentary glory in front of you."

"What the empress taught me is that the slaves know their mistakes."

It is now the end of November, and the autumn wind is blowing, but the scenery in the imperial garden is still too beautiful to behold.

Zisu supported Concubine Rui, who was as big as a belly, and said with some concern, "Madam, this autumn wind is really too cold, Madam, why don't you go back to the palace to rest early?"

"Staying in the palace all the time, I always feel bored. Today's weather is quite clear, I remember that it has not been such a good weather for a long time." Concubine Rui looked up at the gentle sun hanging in the sky, and smiled slightly .

The moment he was about to turn around, he heard a moving flute.

The sound of the flute is melodious and the melody is beautiful.It's just a twitch, suddenly sad, and the mood changes so quickly, it's surprising.

"Zisu, send someone to find out who is playing the flute."

"Yes."

After a while, the little eunuch hurriedly came to report, "Report to Concubine Rui, the sound of the flute came from the Chunxi Palace."

"Chunxi Palace?"

"My servant remembers that it is the palace where Concubine Xian lives. During this time, the Holy Majesty often stayed in Chunxi Palace."

"Concubine Xian? What is her identity?"

"The daughter of Wen Huairen, a scholar of the Imperial Academy."

"This status is not low, but she is so favored, why is the sound of the flute so sad?"

"This...the servant doesn't know."

"There's nothing to do left and right, Zisu, you can go with Ben Gong to visit Sister Concubine Xian."

"Miss?"

"It's okay."

In Chunxi Palace, when Concubine Rui came to the door suddenly, Concubine Xian silently put down the jade flute in her hand, but her heart became more and more sad.

Nowadays, there are more and more people coming to her Chunxi Hall uninvited.

"I just heard my sister's leisurely and melodious flute sound in the Imperial Garden, and I was immediately attracted to it. Please don't blame my sister for being abrupt." Concubine Rui entered the inner hall with a smile on her face. The moment he reached Concubine Xian, he immediately apologized with a smile.

"Sister, don't say that. It's really not easy to have a confidant in this deep palace."

"It's hard to find a confidant, but my sister's word makes me sad." Concubine Rui smiled, "I just heard my sister's flute sound, it seems a little sad?"

"This piece of music is already sad. The concubines are idle and have nothing to do, so it's only a whim."

"My younger sister is getting the favor, so it's a bit inappropriate to play such a tune." Concubine Rui glanced at her, and said earnestly, "Sister Xian, the weather is quite sunny today, I wonder if my younger sister would like to honor her face and accompany her to the Imperial Garden take a walk?"

"Yesterday, the Holy Master told my sister to take care of the banquet three days later, so my sister can only refuse my sister's invitation."

"It's okay."

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and then Concubine Rui bid farewell.

Hall of joy.

Concubine Rui looked at the angry Zisu, and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter? You've been annoyed since you came back from Chunxi Palace?"

"Your Majesty, this servant looks too much at that Concubine Xian. If I have time to play the flute, I don't have time to take a walk with you? It's really disgusting to see such an unattainable attitude because of the love of the Holy One!"

"Have a cup of tea and calm down first." Concubine Rui looked at her and shook her head helplessly, "You, you, why are you not as good as before after entering the palace, becoming more unstable?"

Zisu drank a large cup of herbal tea in one breath, and her emotions calmed down.

"Your Majesty, this servant realizes his mistake."

"Zisu, in your opinion, do you think that the gentle and elegant queen who always greets others with a smile is disgusting? Or is the concubine Xian, who looks superior but is actually aloof and lofty, more scheming?"

"Of course it's the empress, the empress is a smiling tiger who kills people without blinking an eye!" Zisu felt bad when he thought of Concubine Chen's death, "The empress is vicious, but it's a pity that the majesty never sees it, it's really infuriating... ..."

"In this harem, there are no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends, only permanent interests."

"What do you mean, madam?"

"An Xiuhui seems to be generous and tolerant, but in fact she must retaliate, otherwise she would not have tolerated her aunt at the beginning... Although Concubine Xian is arrogant, she is a real capable person after all. How bad can the daughter of a bachelor be? go?"

"When two tigers fight, one must be injured." Concubine Rui smiled lightly, and stopped talking.

At that time, the General's Mansion.

Nanny Gui took Hong Rong with her and finally arranged everything in the General's Mansion.

Tang Huanxi flipped through the ledger casually, only to find it shocking.

"Unexpectedly, the price of goods in Kyoto is so unattainable. A set of pear wood dressing table costs 600 taels, which is really extravagant."

"An inch of land is an inch of gold, and this price is already favorable enough." Nanny Gui looked at her pained face, and joked with a smile, "Madam, you are the wife of a general, and your status is already extraordinary. As before, it will only lose the general's face."

"Compared to the salary of Xiao Baorui's idea, these things are really too expensive." Tang Huanxi still felt that it was unnecessary.

Nanny Gui thought for a while, and explained the basic rules of living in this capital in righteous words.

"Madam, this old slave said something disrespectful. According to his status as a general, he should be the daughter of an official. Although you are smart, Madam, your family background is still too low. If you are inferior to others everywhere, in the future..."

There are some words that Nanny Gui chooses to stop at the end.

But these words sounded a wake-up call in Tang Huanxi's mind.

"It's said that a hero is sad about a beauty pass. I was just worried that the banquet in the future would be a grand feast, but I didn't expect that it might also be a beauty pass with ulterior motives!"
