Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 24

Xiao Zhuang was taken aback for a moment, seeing that it was Rong Huang, his face relaxed a little, with a bit of warmth: "Is it Concubine Zhao? Get up quickly." She forced out a faint smile, the expression on her face became vivid. Shao: "Didn't I tell you to take a good rest today? It's cold, why bother to make such a trip."

Rong Huang saw that Xiao Zhuang wanted to get close to him, so of course he would not give her face, so he also said with a smile: "Courtesy cannot be broken, my concubines dare not forget the rules just because they have the support of the Empress Dowager."

"Yo, this little mouth is so powerful, when did the Ai family say that they would support you?" Xiao Zhuang smiled for real now: "It's all right now, it won't work if the Ai family doesn't support you in the future !"

Rong Huang pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head slightly, so as to avoid Xiao Zhuang's probing gaze and hide the sneer in her eyes.Xiaozhuang deserves to be Xiaozhuang, and he really has superb acting skills.Not to mention supporting her, as long as this resourceful empress dowager stops trying to get her two fathers out of her way, Rong Huang will be satisfied.

Seeing that Xiao Zhuang no longer had a straight face, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, she was born and raised in the palace, and I just go to Chengqian Palace to have a look."

Rong Huang glanced at La Aunt Su Ma casually, seeing her expressionless face, she knew that La Aunt Su Ma didn't want to expose the matter she had just mentioned about Rong Huang.Rong Huang followed her wish and simply pretended not to know anything, and looked up at the Queen Mother naively: "What are you going to Chengqian Palace for, Empress Dowager? Do you want to see Sister Yipin?"

According to the rules, concubines above the rank of concubine can be called the Empress Dowager, and they can also stay overnight in Qianqing Palace until dawn.Rong Huang's call of "Emperor Niang" was very smooth, the queen mother was stunned for a moment, and a faint warmth suddenly appeared in her heart.She was not favored by the first emperor and had no children all her life, but fortunately the emperor was filial and called her the emperor's mother.There are no concubines above the imperial concubine in the palace, and the empress rarely shows up. The empress dowager heard Rong Huang's call out so suddenly, she liked her even more, and she unconsciously spoke with full tenderness: "Yes, there is something wrong with Concubine Yi." Unexpectedly, somehow it fell into the water."

Rong Huang was stunned, and couldn't help repeating: "Falling into the water?" Why did it fall into the water again?Could it be Liu Qing who did it again?

She was full of doubts but no one could ask her. At this moment, Xiaozhuang suddenly said: "Let's go and have a look. The queen is not in good health, and it's not a problem for us mothers and daughters to support the affairs in the harem." .Now that you have entered the palace, you should also learn to take care of the harem."

The Empress Dowager nodded in agreement, Rong Huang said nothing for a while, so she had to bow down and salute, and quit with the Empress Dowager.Rong Huang didn't pass on the sedan chair, the Empress Dowager was sympathetic and asked her to go together in the phoenix chariot.Rong Huang shirked it and insisted not to share the sedan chair with the Empress Dowager.The queen mother had no choice but to follow her.In his heart, however, he felt a little more love and pity for Rong Huang - how could this child not be able to sit in Feng Huang's chariot?Logically, she should have been the queen!

Little did they know that what Rong Huang wanted was this kind of effect, it would be more convenient for Rong Huang to act in the palace in the future if the queen mother cherished her and protected her.You must know that although the queen mother is not very flamboyant, she holds the phoenix seal in her hand. If Rong Huang wants to take charge of the harem, he must first pass the test of the queen mother.

Anyway, Chengqian Palace is not far away, she is happy to use these few steps to pretend to be pitiful.

Unexpectedly—Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, and the emperor's dragon chariot somehow got here.Rong Huang was taken aback for a moment, then Jing Yi behind him explained: "The emperor should have come to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."

Rong Huang nodded, turned around and greeted her.Now that we have met, there is no reason to avoid it.Since it is destined to be entangled with this man for a long time, instead of avoiding him, it is better to go straight to him and win a chance for himself.

"The concubine Yikun Palace Niuhulu pays respects to the emperor, all blessings to the emperor." She had a blissful body, slightly lowered her head, revealing a fair and soft side neck.When Kangxi first saw the beauty, he couldn't help but feel moved. Knowing it was her, he was even more overjoyed. He quickly helped Ronghuang up and held her arm, refusing to let go: "Ronger, you finally entered the palace! My little Phoenix!" He He smiled happily, and his facial features were all gathered together, but this did not affect Rong Huang's sizing up of him.

After three years of absence, the emperor not only grew taller, but also opened his eyebrows, making him more handsome.It's just that for some reason, he looks a little thin, obviously he is not doing well.Maybe it was due to the flood of motherhood, but Rong Huang's heart softened.But this kind of emotion was quickly strangled to death by her own hands - you can't be emotional with the emperor, even if it's not love, you can't be soft-hearted!
Since ancient times, emperors are all scum, emperors are all scum, all are scum... Rong Huang repeated these words in his heart countless times, then raised his head and showed a faint but warm smile to Xuan Ye: "Yes, my concubine Entering the palace."

She couldn't appear too happy, firstly for the sake of reserve, and secondly because she was going to tell the emperor about Concubine Yi's falling into the water later, if she smiled happily at the moment, the emperor's personality would inevitably make her think too much.

But she can't be too indifferent, after all, the two haven't seen each other for many years, and the emperor seems very happy, but if she is too indifferent, wouldn't it make the emperor feel that he is boring himself?Only by being careful and making Kangxi feel that she was also very happy to see him, but she was a little shy for a while, could she pass this level.

"I was thinking of paying respects to Mama Huang and Madam Huang and I'll go see you!" Xuan Ye suddenly took her hand and said expectantly, "Shall we go to Mama Huang to greet Mama Huang? Then go You have dinner in the palace."

"Your Majesty..." Rong Huang struggled lightly symbolically, and his voice was a little tense: "Sister Yipin fell into the water, and the Emperor Mama asked the concubine and the Queen Mother to go over and have a look!"

Rong Huang knew that if she were another concubine, Xuan Ye might ignore her, but Concubine Yi is the emperor's cousin, so it is impossible for Xuan Ye to not care about her at all.Even if there is no love, she must be regarded as different from others.

She intentionally showed the importance she attached to Concubine Yi in order to cater to Kangxi's wishes and make him feel that the two of them were connected.Sure enough, when Xuan Ye heard this, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, and said in a deep voice, "Jing Lin fell into the water? Come on, I'll go there with you." After saying that, he couldn't help but pull Rong Huang onto the dragon carriage .

Well, she shied away for a long time and didn't go to sit on the phoenix chariot, but in the end she got on the more noble dragon chariot?But Rong Huang did not refuse this time, and there was no way to refuse again.One is because the emperor was so excited that he couldn't listen to her big principles such as rules; the other was because she had talked with the emperor for so long, it would be too late for her to walk there; the third was because the concubines who could ride the dragon Now that she's the only one, this story must spread fast.Today is her first day in the palace, as long as everyone sees how much the emperor attaches importance to her, even if she says nothing and does nothing in the following days, the people below will never dare to despise her.

Before entering the palace, Rong Huang had been thinking about what kind of role he should play.Is it a gentle and elegant lady like Hesheli, or a naive little family like Ma Jiashi?Or learn from Huigui's straightforward and carefree temperament?Or Tong Jinglin's calmness, Yigui's delicacy?

No, she doesn't want to learn from anyone.

Rong Huang is not an actress, she is just an ordinary person.Although she is a little clever, she thinks she has no great wisdom.If she had to play the role she had planned for the rest of her life, she might not be able to do it.And even if it could be done, it would be exhausting to live with a mask on.

She just wants to be herself.Instead of thinking about how to live with a mask on, she thought about how to make her real self more adaptable to the harem and live better in the palace.

The ultimate goal of all human behavior is to make yourself more comfortable.Even if she is forced to enter the game now, no matter what the result is, at least the process should make herself comfortable.

When she was thinking like this in her mind, the sedan chair had unknowingly arrived at Chengqian Palace.The Chengqian Palace is said to be the place where the two empresses of the previous dynasty lived, and it is the closest to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived.From this point of view, although the Tong family only had one concubine, she had the title of "Yi" and Chengqian Palace, so the royal family did not treat her poorly.

The two emperors and concubines entered the palace side by side, and the empress dowager had arrived, and she was sitting not far from the bed talking to the imperial physician.Seeing Xuan Ye and Rong Huang coming, he knelt down and saluted: "My servant is paying my respects to the emperor, and to the concubine Zhao!"

Rong Huang's heart skipped a beat, it turned out that this was the confidant imperial physician that Ama had arranged for her.It's strange, Yipin is sick, why don't they invite someone from the Tong family?Could it be that they found out that Imperial Physician Lu was controlled by Rong Huang?Suspicion arose in Rong Huang's heart, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he temporarily stopped his thoughts and looked at Concubine Yi.

Compared with three years ago, Tong Jinglin came out more beautiful.But at this moment, her face was frighteningly pale, and her lips lost all color, like a delicate flower in the wind, ready to fly away at any moment.

"Forget it." Seeing his cousin's appearance, Kangxi was obviously anxious: "How is Concubine Yi?"

Hou Zheng got up, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face, looking a little troubled: "Although the concubine Yi accidentally fell into the water, but fortunately she found it in time, and there is no serious problem. At most, she got a cold and was frightened. It was just How many prescriptions, who knows..." At this point, Hou Zheng suddenly fell into a groan.Kangxi showed displeasure, and urged: "Who knows what's wrong?"

"Unexpectedly, when I took the pulse of the empress, I discovered that the empress's qi is in the internal organs, so the Wei Qi travels outside alone, traveling in the yang, and cannot enter the yin. When it is in the yang, the yang qi is strong, and the yang qi is strong when the yang is trapped. , not to enter the yin, the yin is empty, so... not to be closed."
