Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 71

"That's good. Remember, I want to make Ma Jia Anmin suffer, torture her, and don't let her die easily!" After saying these words, Mei Luo's voice suddenly disappeared, and her face became more and more serious after that. The more blurred it is, it seems to disappear little by little like the monsters in TV dramas disappearing into thin air.Rong Huang knew that it was because Mei Luo's mana couldn't hold on anymore.

It wasn't long before she was back in the real world.She rubbed her temples, and heard Concubine Yi call her anxiously from the side: "Sister, are you alright?"

Rong Huang shook his head, and the two continued to walk towards Yanxi Palace.

They walked into the courtyard of Yanxi Palace as usual, and while they were talking and laughing, Mrs. Tong suddenly froze and couldn't even walk.Rong Huang was wondering what was wrong with her, when she turned her head Rong Huang understood - Nalan Rongruo was in the yard.

In the early years of Kangxi, although the Qing Palace already had a lot of rules and regulations, the time for the Manchus to enter the customs was not long after all, and the defense between men and women was not so terrible at this time.It's true that men and women can't live together in the same room at night, but staying in the same courtyard during the day and night is really not a big deal, not to mention that Nalan Huier and Rong Ruo are cousins, so there is no need to shy away from it.

Therefore, Hui'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong when she saw Rong Huang and Yi Concubine coming together, so she walked over to Rong Huang to greet Rong Huang, and then greeted Yi Concubine as equal, and invited them Sit down and drink tea.

"The imperial concubine and the concubine sister are blessed! This is the tea made by Mr. Nalan himself, even the emperor can't drink it on weekdays! We are still in the honor of the elder brother." Hui'er mentioned The son's face was full of joy, her Baoqing was different from the Chengrui who was born to Ma Jia's family before she died, she was much stronger, and looked smarter, Kangxi liked it very much.

"It turns out that Mr. Nalan came to see Elder Brother." Tong didn't know how to talk to Nalan, so he had to interject.

Rong Ruo lowered his head and concentrated on making tea, but didn't answer, as if he didn't hear Tong's words.But in response, he smiled a little.He didn't know that Tong Shi had already clenched the handkerchief contentedly just by twitching the corner of his mouth.

"Imperial Concubine, please use tea." After pouring the boiled clear tea into Bi Yingying's tea cup, Rong Ruo personally picked up the tea cup, which was not as big as a punch, and handed it to Rong Huang.

She responded lightly, and casually went to pick up the teacup, but she accidentally touched his finger.

Originally, this wasn't a big deal, but this was the first time Rong Ruo had physical contact with her, for some reason, the place she touched seemed to be burned by a fire, it was so hot that Rong Ruo couldn't control it. He withdrew his hand.As a result, the cup of hot tea was just spilled, and the hot tea splashed onto Ronghuang's white and jade-like catkins, red marks immediately appeared on the originally fair and flawless skin.

Panicked, Rong Ruo completely forgot about etiquette, he grabbed her hand almost instinctively, and started blowing seriously.

Looking closely, his eyelashes are very long, and there seems to be a pool of spring water in his eyes, which is full of tenderness all the time.At this moment, his eyes are all about her.

Rong Huang woke up all of a sudden.She quickly withdrew her hand and said lightly, "I'm fine."

"It's all my fault..." Rong Ruo stared at the red mark on her hand, blaming herself all over her face.

The concubine Yi at the side saw everything in her eyes.On the one hand, she is very envious of Rong Ruo's concern for Rong Huang, and even has a little uncontrollable jealousy.But on the other hand, she sympathizes more with the close proximity of this pair of lovers.

Even though they were sitting opposite each other, they couldn't look directly at each other.Obviously I want to say something, but I have to bury it in my heart.

How uncomfortable.It's much more uncomfortable than her unclear crush.

As soon as she thought of this, Yipin felt a lot more relaxed.

"The water is very hot, what should I do if there is a scar?" Rong Ruo frowned, and said to the palace servants beside him, "Hurry up, go tell the imperial physician!"

"No need, really no need." In fact, Rong Ruo was really exaggerating, she was just splashed with tea, it was nothing serious at all.Nalan is only concerned about chaos.

In order to avoid making things worse, Rong Huang gave a comforting smile and said softly: "Dong Lang, I'm really fine."

This move is Rong Huang's trump card.She found that as long as she called him Donglang affectionately, Rong Ruo would obey her obediently.As long as there is "Dong Lang" first, no matter what she says, he will blindly follow her unconditionally.

Sure enough, upon hearing the "Dong Lang" Rong Ruo no longer insisted on inviting the imperial physician.It's just that he also completely forgot about making tea, and just kept staring at Rong Huang's hand.

Because Concubine Zhao has the highest status, Rong Ruo served her tea first, and the other two didn't find it strange.But now, it seems that Rong Ruo only planned to bring tea to her from the beginning.Hui'er has always been careless, but she didn't notice anything.It's just that Concubine Yi has always been sensitive, but with a few small movements, she already understood the general idea.

Rong Ruo still has her in her heart...

Tong Shi didn't know that at the same time, there was another person who expressed similar emotions to her, and that was Xuan Ye who had just stepped into the courtyard of Yanxi Palace.

Rong Huang was not sure how to resolve this slightly embarrassing situation, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Xuan Ye standing at the door with a cloudy expression on his face, and immediately stood up and said softly, "The emperor is here."

As soon as everyone heard that the emperor was coming, they all stood up and saluted, only Rong Huang went up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Why doesn't the emperor let the palace people announce? He always likes to come in quietly like this to scare people."

Xuan Ye has long been used to Rong Huang talking to him like this, so he smiled with no surprise: "I was afraid of disturbing your interest in talking, but I didn't expect that Rong'er would not only be ungrateful but would blame me instead, I'm really... sad. "The two had already walked to the stone table while they were joking, and the emperor raised his hand and said: "Please forgive me." Concubine Hui and the others then stood up.

"I'll take a look at Baoqing." He explained briefly, then walked to Concubine Hui's side, reached out and touched the elder brother's face, but did not hug him.Seeing this, Concubine Hui was somewhat disappointed.

But Xuan Ye didn't pay attention to her expression, and after teasing the elder brother a few times, he turned to talk to Rong Ruo: "I'm still surprised, why didn't you see you today, so you came to Concubine Hui." He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, after saying this, he glanced at Rong Huang again, but quickly withdrew his gaze.

A companion is like a tiger, and Rong Ruo knows this very well.In order not to cause trouble for Ronghuang, he buried all the emotions in his heart, and smiled lightly: "Yes, Weichen, who has been an uncle for so long, hasn't come to see my little elder brother. It really doesn't make sense. Yesterday, my mother reminded me After a few words, Wei Chen came over to take a look when he was not on duty."

"That's it." Xuan Ye stared at Rong Ruo for a while with a half-smile, but when Rong Huang on the side was getting nervous, he suddenly changed the subject and said lightly: "Okay, I still have to go to the emperor Greetings, grandma, let's go first."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at other people's expressions and went straight to the Compassion Palace.

Over the past few years, the empress dowager's body has become weaker and weaker. Except for the emperor, the empress dowager, and the concubine, she hardly sees anyone.Hearing Aunt Su Ma's report that the emperor is here, the old man immediately showed a loving smile: "Please come in and talk to the emperor."

After greetings, the grandparents and grandchildren sat opposite each other.Xiaozhuang was in good spirits today, so he became interested and made tea for the emperor himself.Seeing his grandmother making tea, Xuan Ye somehow suddenly remembered the scene he just saw in Yanxi Palace, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Xiao Zhuang didn't look at his expression and didn't know what happened in Yanxi Palace just now, but she seemed to have a tacit understanding, and she noticed Xuan Ye's restlessness.When handing the tea to the emperor, she smiled generously, and said lovingly as if she didn't care about anything: "What's the matter, Your Majesty, are you bothering about the harem?"

Xuan Ye was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head: "Grandmother knows everything."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, and said slowly: "Aijia is old, how can he have such great powers. It's just that if something happened in the previous dynasty, Aijia would not have heard a little bit of news, so the only thing that can worry the emperor is the harem. It's something to do." At this point, she suddenly pondered: "Why, the empress is gone, can the concubine take care of this harem well?"

Seeing that she had doubts about Rong Huang's ability, Xuan Ye quickly shook his head and said: "No, the imperial concubine has done a good job, and the affairs of the harem are handled in an orderly manner. It is the grandson... the grandson feels ashamed of her. "

Xiaozhuang raised his eyebrows, with a slightly displeased look: "Ashamed? You have already entrusted the second elder brother to her upbringing, and she pushed the child to Yipin's palace in the name of taking care of the harem." , it's her who doesn't care about happiness, so I can't blame you."

"The noble concubine sees that Yipin is lonely and always alone, and I always go to Yikun Palace to accompany her, so..."

"Isn't that enough? Your Majesty said that you always go to Yikun Palace. In the past two years, you have almost exclusively favored Concubine Zhao. Isn't that enough? We just don't let her have children, it's nothing .”

Xuan Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his heart away, raised his head and said, "Mama Huang, grandson... grandson wants a child, a child with Concubine Zhao!"

Xiao Zhuang's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and with a tilt of his hand, the tea spilled all over the table.Seeing this, Ling Luo hurried up to wipe it, but the Empress Dowager said in a low voice as if she didn't care, "Emperor, do you know what you're talking about?"
