Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 88

It was already spring when he was recovering from his illness, and the peach blossoms and snow fell in succession in the spring, which finally cleared up completely.

Although the emperor will stay in Yilan Palace every few days, Su Yan has always been cold, unless she asks about some things about the Su family, she hardly responds to the rest.

On the same day, she was canonized as the head of the four concubines, and later her father was granted the title of Marquis. The Minister of the Ministry of War also recorded Shangyang Yushi. The Su family was full of scenery.

I used to think that such an extreme honor and favor, such a majestic splendor looking down on the harem, was exactly what I had worked so hard to ask for.

Today, apart from the late empress, she is the most honorable woman in the palace, but she didn't get any happiness that she should have, instead it was dull.

She twirled a peach blossom, rubbed it lightly, scattered the broken petals casually, and when she sat on the couch, she suddenly felt extremely tired. If it wasn't for protecting Jing'er from growing up safely, she would never want to stay here for a moment. Inside the dense palace.

Lan Ruo came in to inform, "Miss, Concubine Shu brought the young masters of the palaces and waited outside the hall, saying that she came to pay your respects."

Seeing Su Yan thoughtful, her expression was in a trance, she asked, "But it's still the same as before, sending them away because you are unwell?"

Su Yan withdrew her gaze, and slowly sat down in front of the makeup mirror, "No, let them wait, I will come later."

Lan Ruo didn't dare to ask more questions, Sang Yu asked the maidservants to bring water and change clothes, Su Yan hadn't dressed up carefully for a long time, her hand holding the hairpin ring was a little rusty.

Sang Yu knew that she hadn't gotten over the pain of losing her son, so she carefully tied her hair up, "Now that the empress is a noble concubine, the hair accessories and costumes will naturally be different."

Su Yan looked at the face in the Linghua mirror that was gradually recovering, "Sang Yu, I don't want to fight with them any longer, because I just understand now that these are all things in the mirror, and if I let go one day, everything will be gone." .”

Sang Yu kept holding the nine-feathered phoenix hairpin and said, "The power is cold, and only the flesh and blood of the relatives are the root, but in fact, the empress should look further away. Only by keeping her status can she stop hurting her relatives."

"But before I make up my mind to let go, there is one more person, and I will never spare her." Su Yan looked back and smiled, enchanting.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and Concubine De are seated first on the lower right, Concubine Qi, Han Jieyu, Lan Xiaoyi, Zhen Cairen and others are next in line, while Zhou Cainu and other young masters with low rankings are seated on the left.

It was the first time for everyone to come to Yilan Palace to pay their respects, and they couldn't help but raise their heads, painting beams and carving buildings, a hundred birds facing the phoenix, it is extraordinarily luxurious.

It is much more gorgeous than Concubine Shu's Cuizhi Palace in the past, and people can't help but sigh secretly, the favor of Concubine Yan is unmatched.

"First, I waited for a month and didn't see us. It was so hard to see us, and I didn't come out for a long time. The new imperial concubine is different." Lan Xiaoyi leaned on the back of the chair, her figure protruding, and satirized.

"I'm about to become a mother and concubine, Lan Xiaoyi should be more cautious." Concubine Qi interrupted her displeased.

"I was just telling the truth."

Concubine Xian raised her head lightly, "Just like Lan Xiaoyi, you are as delicate as you are pregnant with Liujia, and you can't compare to others. It can be seen that His Majesty cares about the weight in his heart. So, don't say something that provokes criticism. .”

Lan Xiaoyi's complexion was not good, Zhen Cairen pulled her sleeve, motioned her to shut up, everyone whispered, everyone saw something.

Seeing Lin Qingqing sitting quietly, Concubine Qi asked with concern, "I haven't seen Yan'er for a long time, but my sister is also happy for her?"

Lin Qingqing smiled awkwardly, her eyes wandering, "That's natural."

Concubine Qi patted the back of her hand, "From now on, we need sisters to work together."

Lin Qingqing's smile became more and more stiff, so she had no choice but to agree.

After three cups of tea, she finally saw Sang Yu come out, she slowly blessed her body, "Grand Concubine Yan is here."

Hearing the reputation, he saw a crimson figure stepping out slowly.

The lips are not punctuated but vermilion, the eyebrows are lightly drawn but dark, and the tip of the eyes are slightly raised with pale vermilion, alluring and charming, the luxury is beyond peony.

On the hem of the skirt rimmed with gold silk, a nine-color phoenix spread its wings and was about to fly, with its tail like a lotus extending to the bottom of the skirt.

The charm is outstanding, and the beauty is overwhelming.

Everyone was in a trance and couldn't turn around for a while.

Concubine Shu took the lead, and everyone sat down to salute, "The concubine has seen the imperial concubine."

Su Yan took her seat, leaning casually on the phoenix couch, looking around, her charming face was covered with a layer of frost, making people daunted.

Until now, no matter what kind of thoughts the next seated concubine has, she truly understands that the charming and charming Su Yan in the past no longer exists, and there is only this noble concubine Yan in front of her.

"Everyone get up." Su Yan glanced around, inadvertently glanced down, and had a panoramic view of their expressions.

It was still Concubine Shu who spoke first, "Tomorrow, the concubine will hand over all the detailed rules and accounts of the six palaces to you, the imperial concubine, and the heads of food, clothing, treasures, etc. will also come to visit."

Concubine De then said, "Concubine Shu has always been the agent for all matters in the harem, and she must have sorted out the situation. I'm afraid it's not right to switch in such a hasty way. I hope the concubine will think twice."

Su Yan opened her lips and smiled, "Oh, Sister De Concubine means that I don't have the ability to take care of the six palaces, it's better to be a leisurely noble concubine, and just serve the Holy Majesty well, and don't care about other things, right?"

Concubine De was startled, and hurriedly explained, "This is not what I mean!"

Su Yan folded her sleeves in front of her body, and said in a steady voice, "I suspect that everyone in the next seat thinks so. But I want to explain today that since this imperial concubine has the ability to be a concubine, I naturally have to This ability can teach people to be convinced. If you can’t convince people, this palace will personally hand over the Phoenix Seal to the virtuous.”

Concubine De's pale complexion improved, but Concubine Shu's expression was calm and she listened attentively.

Su Yan waved her hand slightly, and added tea one by one.

"Sister De Concubine is right. This Palace is the first to manage the Sixth Palace. Naturally, there are still many things that need to be consulted by Sister Concubine Shu. Therefore, it is not necessary to hand over all affairs to this Palace. Sister Concubine Shu is still acting as the agent. You see so How are you?" Just now that cold and stern expression disappeared in an instant, she smiled and looked very amiable.

Zhencai left his seat slowly, "The noble concubine is open-minded, and she should be a model of the Six Palaces. The ministers and concubines are willing to obey the orders of the empress in everything."

As Su Yan's cousin, Concubine Qi fully supported her, and she also responded.

Lan Xiaoyi on the side was upset. She and Zhen Cairen entered the palace once, and they had a good personal relationship. It can be seen that she is like this, so she can't help but feel disdainful.

After Zhencai returned to her seat, Lan Xiaoyi whispered softly, "I thought that Sister Zhen was smart and reasonable, but today it seems that she is not so good."

Zhen Cairen only replied indifferently, "Sister, speak carefully."

At the end, Concubine Shu respectfully agreed, even though she was the first to enter the palace, she could still be so calm in front of others, which taught Su Yan to look at her differently, she can live longer than Concubine Yi, but she has unique skills.

Just relying on the ability to bend and stretch, he is several times stronger than many people.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yan suddenly changed the topic, "I just remembered that I still have something to say about Yu Hanjieyu."

Lin Qingqing was already on pins and needles, wishing it could end sooner, when she heard her call her name, her heart sank suddenly, she didn't show it on her face, she still responded gently, "Please tell me, imperial concubine."

Su Yan frowned slightly, and sighed, "I am very sad and hard to understand the loss of my son. But Princess Anle is cute and lovely, and I love her very much, so I asked Han Jieyu to raise her in my heart. At the knees of the palace, let's chat for comfort."

Lin Qingqing felt her scalp tingle after hearing this, and blurted out, "Yan'er!"

Su Yan stared at her, then she changed her words, "Imperial concubine, the only concubine is Anle."

"I don't have a single Empress in this Palace."

Lin Qingqing knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and bowed deeply when she sat down, "An Le has been with my concubine since childhood, I'm afraid I can't get used to it."

Su Yan said again, "Is the Yilan Palace in my palace inferior to Yaolian Palace? Or Han Jieyu thinks that this palace will treat An Le badly."

When Su Yan spoke, the word ill-treated was particularly serious. Others didn't know the inside story, but Lin Qingqing was already dazed at the moment. In the stalemate, Lin Qingqing knelt down on the spot and begged, "It's fine for the imperial concubine to punish the concubines. Just please don't take An Le away."

Su Yan let out a sigh, "Why did you say that? Why does the palace want to punish you?"

Lin Qingqing was at a loss for words, and kowtowed again, but Su Yan was unmoved, and said coldly, "I have made up my mind on this matter, but because you are Anle's biological mother, I will let you know, so as to save others from talking about it." Four."

Lin Qingqing bit her lower lip, and stared at the person in the seat with hatred. That face was so strange, as strange as acquaintance for the first time.

Su Yan understood what Lin Qingqing was thinking, and wanted her to miss the old love, but the old love had been exhausted by her long ago, and there was nothing left!

Seeing this, all the concubines couldn't help thinking in private, how could Concubine Yan be so seductive to her former good sisters, let alone others?

Then she put back her contemptuous thoughts just now, Lan Xiaoyi's back felt cold, and when the show was over, she pulled Zhen Cairen out of the hall quickly.

At sunset, some palace people came to Yaolian Hall to pick Anle up.Lin Qingqing knew that begging her was useless, so she stopped resisting and packed her clothes silently. Anle was delighted when she heard that she was going to Yilan Palace, "Mother Concubine, can Anle stay in Yilan Palace for a little longer?"

Lin Qingqing was taken aback, "Why?"

An Le said, "Ms. Zhaoyi treats me very well, she even made delicious pastries for me. The plate of longan cakes last time was much better than ours here!"

Lin Qingqing pushed her away and said sharply, "Shut up! She is a concubine now, how can she be the same as before!"

An Le had never seen her concubine lose her temper before, she was so frightened with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Isn't concubine mother going?"

Seeing her daughter's pitiful and lovely appearance, Lin Qingqing felt bitter and unspeakable, and hugged An Le tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid that she would disappear.

The palace people urged her several times, but she still held An Le's hand, "If the imperial concubine treats you badly, you must tell the father, and don't walk around casually, and don't eat with the imperial concubine alone..."

Lin Qingqing let go of the last finger, and kept asking, but An Le was obedient, and answered them one by one.

When An Le's figure disappeared outside the hall, Lin Qingqing rushed out, leaned on the railing, trembling uncontrollably.

Yuxi has been by her side since she was a child. From the Lin Mansion to the palace, in more than ten years, she has never seen her own lady like this, so she wept sadly and comforted her, "Miss, don't worry, no matter how favored that person is, he will not dare to do it." Something like hurting the emperor's veins, let alone still in her palace."

Lin Qingqing shook her head, then nodded again, "She must send An Le back, I owe her, and I will pay it back myself..."

Yu Xikou was straightforward, "She entered the palace with Miss Yu since she was a child, but she never helped her. Instead, she robbed her of her grace and monopolized her favor. She owed her more!"

Lin Qingqing wandered back to the hall and murmured, "The grace that can be taken away, how can it be the real grace..."

Su Yan personally took care of Anle's daily life, and when they had dinner together in the evening, she specially made her favorite longan cakes, and Anle picked up a piece, but suddenly remembered something, suddenly put it down, and sat silently by the side.

Su Yan asked gently, "What's the matter, don't you like these? Lan Ruo, get some iced pear dumpling soup."

After all, An Le is a child, facing the table full of delicacies, she is really hungry, seeing how gentle Su Yan treats herself, she said, "Father and emperor haven't come yet, mother and concubine said that An Le can't eat alone with the imperial concubine and empress." .”

Su Yan giggled when she heard this, and then patted her head, "Does Anle think I'm a bad person?"

An Le shook her head, Su Yanyu said earnestly, "Many years ago, before your mother and I entered the palace, we often played together. The world outside the palace is very big and there are many interesting places. I would sneak there without telling my family. Secretly meeting at your mother's house," Su Yan nodded her nose and said with a smile, "It's like An Le skipped the tutor's class and went to pick plum blossoms!"

An Le listened intently, and being so coaxed by Su Yan, most of her guard was relieved, and she gradually became acquainted.

Sang Yu had never seen Su Yan in such a state of mind, she came out alone after telling An Le a long story to lull her to sleep.

"Your Majesty should also settle down." Sang Yu helped her change into her pajamas, Su Yan glanced out of the window, and changed her cold expression, "What's going on with her today?"

"Go back to your mother, Princess An Le didn't stop her when she left, so she went out of the palace to relax."

"She would be so leisurely?" Su Yan smiled contemptuously, "Where did she go?"

"Willow forest chasing waves, stayed for about half an hour."

"Is there anyone going with me?" Su Yan felt suspicious, Sang Yu thought about it and shook her head, "I didn't see it."

No one went with her, which was beyond Su Yan's expectation. There must be someone behind Lin Qingqing who made a plan. All this happened overnight.

Sang Yu suddenly said, "My maidservant remembered that later Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian also went to chase the waves together."

"Three people? That's a bit more complicated." Su Yan frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty suspects that they are behind the scenes?"

"No, such a sophisticated setup would never be the conspiracy of three people. The more people involved, the more loopholes, and the easier it is to be caught. This person is very shrewd. If not, he would have been there for so many years. , I have never noticed anything unusual."

"What does that empress mean?" Sang Yu has always known that her master is just acting in front of others, and she is very clear in her heart, and she is by no means empty-handed.

Su Yan stretched out three green onion fingers, shook them, and then pulled down two fingers, "The three of them, one of them."

"The servant feels that the empress has taken the place of the concubine Shu..."

"Yes, she is the most suspected, but nothing in the harem can be said to be dead. Before there is no conclusive evidence, everything is uncertain."

Sang Yu listened quietly, admiring Su Yan's calmness very much, being able to climb to the throne of imperial concubine is definitely not just based on appearance.

"I still don't sleep so late, but Yan'er is waiting for me?" Duan Zhaoling walked in slowly, taking off the cloak leisurely, bringing a hint of the coolness of early spring.

Sang Yu stepped back knowingly, Su Yan didn't move, she was still combing her black hair.

Duan Zhaoling saw that her spring clothes were thin and made her look even more delicate, so he hugged her and sat on the couch.

"I heard that greetings from all palaces have been resumed today, but can you bear it?"

Su Yan said, "It's boring and tight."

Duan Zhaoling smiled and kissed her temple hair, and Su Yan moved aside.

Duan Zhaoling let go of her hands in embarrassment. Since her miscarriage, no matter how nice he said to each other, she has been indifferent, and has always been so indifferent and repulsive.

"I heard that you Jiang Anle will come to accompany you?"

Su Yan raised her eyes, her dark eyes flashed a cold light, "Your Majesty, what else have you heard, but you are still proud of being favored, and what about the chaos in the court? You might as well talk about it with your concubine."
