Rebirth after waste

Chapter 137

Gu Yunxian's face turned cold, "What's going on?"

Ah Ci knelt down beside her, and said earnestly: "I heard that you have been away from the palace for the past few years, and the entire palace has been the most favored by Concubine Yin Guifei."

Gu Yunxian looked up at her, waiting for the next article.

"As the imperial concubine said just now, since the implementation of the New Deal, His Majesty seldom comes to the harem. But there are only a handful of times, and eight out of ten times I go to the Fuyin hall of the imperial concubine. The other empresses are really a Looking forward to the end of the year, it will be difficult to see His Majesty."

This news surprised Gu Yunxian more than Yin Fansu's concubine title.In her consistent impression, although Fan Su was gentle and beautiful, her temper was too rigid, and she loved to behave in everything.But His Majesty just doesn't like women who are too polite, so she didn't get his favor very much in the past.If she hadn't been so lucky to give birth to the second son of the emperor before everyone else, she would definitely not have the blessing of being a noble concubine today.

But now Ah Ci told her that during the days when she was away from the palace, the emperor loved Fan Su very much.It's just...

"Then, besides the imperial concubine, which empresses has His Majesty been to?" She hesitated for a while, but decided to find out.

"Then there are Empress Concubine Zhu Shu and Empress Rou Xiurong." Ah Ci said, "But Empress Shu is raising the fourth son of the emperor, and Empress Xiurong is the biological mother of the third son. Your Majesty will visit them mostly to see the children. .”

"Then he went to see the noble concubine, or he may have come to see the second son of the emperor..." Gu Yunxian said.

"Miss!" Ah Ci looked at her helplessly, "Why do you say things that you don't even believe? If this is the case, why is there such a big difference in the number of times? The slaves also heard that when the imperial concubine and the empress are getting along with His Majesty, , not as stiff as before. The two were chatting and laughing, and they got along very well! When the imperial concubine was born this year, His Majesty even wrote a letter for her personally, and the Six Palaces don’t have such a blessing!"

Indeed, it is a rare honor for the king to personally bestow ink books.The emperor was not Cui Shuo who took his pen and ink seriously. Since he wrote an inscription for Fan Su, he really liked her.

"Well, maybe after I left, His Majesty fell in love with the imperial concubine because of some things, but what does it matter? She is my good sister, she is favored, and I am happy for her."

"Miss, you understand what I mean." Ah Ci looked at Gu Yunxian, "Imperial Concubine, she is the biological mother of the second son of the emperor."

The smile on Gu Yunxian's face faded, she looked down at the pattern on the skirt, and said nothing.

In fact, since Ah Ci said that the emperor loved Fan Su very much, she knew what she was implying.

This time the emperor took her and Ah Huan over from Maoshan so formally, not only because he missed them, but also because Ah Huan was five years old and it was time to confirm his identity and go out to study.

They think so, but others may not be reconciled.

For the women in the harem, in addition to fighting for the grace, there is a more important battle, and that is the battle for the reserve.

If his son becomes the ninety-five supreme being above the golden palace, all sufferings will come to an end.Before that, even as the hostess of Jiaofang Palace, she still couldn't feel at ease.Because I don't know which day, when the emperor is angry, disaster will come, and all the glory will be wiped out.

Only by becoming the Empress Dowager and living in the Changle Palace can one truly enjoy the peace of mind.

Fansu, is she also looking forward to this day?

Although she used to be loyal to herself, she hadn't experienced the feeling of being in power at that time.When there is no temptation on a person's head, he is always pure.

But it is different now, she is a highly favored concubine, in charge of the harem, and has the second son of the emperor under her knees.The empress herself has been away from the palace for five years, and her foundation in the palace may not be as deep as hers.

She might think that as long as His Majesty wants it, her son is not completely without chance...

Her lips were tightly pressed, she looked away, and suddenly glanced at the books on the desk.Holding the scroll with her plain fingers, she opened it and saw that it was a Hua Jian Ci that she liked very much in the past.

"Who put these things here?" she asked softly.

"It should be the imperial concubine." Cai Jia, who had been silent all this time, said, "I heard that the imperial concubine knew that you were coming back, so she ordered someone to clean the Changqiu Palace half a month in advance, and she even came to Jiaofang Hall to arrange everything in person. .These things should all be her handwriting."

Gu Yunxian looked at the Huajian Ci in his hand, and sighed softly for a long time.

"Miss?" Ah Ci called out hesitantly.

"A Ci," Gu Yunxian looked at A Ci calmly, and said calmly, "I believe in the imperial concubine."

"Is it because of this? But, maybe she's just pretending..."

Seeing Ah Ci's frowning, Gu Yunxian felt a little helpless.She was not such a suspicious person, but the accident on the night of Shangyuan Festival scared her.She was too worried about herself and Ah Huan, so she was vigilant in everything.

She patted her hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, I have thought about everything you have considered. What you said is not unreasonable. If I were someone else, I would really make more preparations. But, Fan Su didn't Same. I'd like to believe her."

She couldn't forget that in her previous life, she offended the king, and only Yin Fansu came to see her before she was executed.At that time, she knelt in front of her, held her hand and wept, "It's useless to be a concubine, I can't save my mother..."

She said: "If the empress has any unfulfilled wishes, she can tell the concubine. The concubine will definitely do her best to repay the favor of the empress."

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow.At that time, she was almost a dead person, but she could still do so much for her, which was enough to make her believe that she was not a person who would add insult to injury and be ungrateful for profit.

So, she is willing to take the gamble.

When the emperor came to Jiaofangdian that night, Gu Yunxian was talking to Ah Huan.

Suddenly moved back to the palace from the hot spring palace, His Royal Highness the fifth son felt very novel, took Gu Yunxian's hand and asked, "So, this is the home of Ah Huan and Aunt? What about outside?"

Gu Yunxian thought for a while, "That's not the outside. The place where we used to live was also your father's house."

Ah Huan's eyes widened immediately, "Then father has many houses?"

Gu Yunxian nodded, "Yes, he has many houses."

Ah Huan pondered for a moment, then said seriously: "It seems that father is very rich..."

The emperor overheard this, and finally couldn't hold back a chuckle.Ah Huan turned his head and immediately showed a cute smile, "Father!"

The emperor took two steps forward and hugged his small body, "Well, why is it getting heavy again? You must have eaten too much. If you continue to grow like this, father will not be able to hold you anymore. .”

Ah Huan nestled in his arms, twisting and turning like a jelly candy, "Father, you are so useless if you can't hold him! You have to become stronger!"

Gu Yunxian let the father and son quarrel for a while before getting up and saluting, "Your Majesty."

The emperor put down Ah Huan, stretched out his hand to support Gu Yunxian, and said gently: "How is it? Are you still used to it after you come back?"

"Very good." Gu Yunxian said, "She arranges Fan Su very carefully, and there is nothing unaccustomed to my concubines."

After saying this, neither of them knew what to say, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

Looking back, the last time they met was in the first month of this year.She was frightened on the night of Shangyuan Festival, and he came from the palace a few days later to ask her about her situation.

At that time, she was grateful that he managed to arrange for her to go out of the palace to play while he was busy, so her attitude towards him was very gentle, and he didn't deliberately avoid her like before.The two of them sat and sipped tea for a while, talking more than the previous years combined.It's a pity that Ah Huan suddenly developed a fever that evening, and they were no longer in the mood to talk, but just stayed nervously by his couch.

Two days later, Ah Huan recovered from his illness, and he also returned to the palace.

"That's right!" Ah Huan's crisp voice suddenly sounded, "Ah Huan saw many beautiful aunts outside today, who are they?"

Gu Yunxian was taken aback, glanced at the emperor, and said softly: "They are your concubines. Aunt will introduce you one by one in another day."

"Concubine?" Ah Huan asked puzzled, "What is that? Is it the same as Grandmother?"

"It's not the same." Gu Yunxian said carefully, "They are your father's concubines, so they are half of your mother..."

The more she spoke, the more powerless she felt.Ah Huan grew up in the palace since he was a child, and she didn't tell him too much about these complicated entanglements in the palace, even if he said it, it would be difficult for him to understand at his age.Now how can she let him understand the relationship between those women and his parents in a short time?
Seeing Gu Yunxian's embarrassed face, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable.

Not wanting to hear her explaining her relationship with those concubines to her son, he interrupted her directly, "Ah Huan, don't worry about those people." Holding Ah Huan's little shoulders, he said, "You tell father first, and after you get home, you will start to talk about it." unhappy?"

Ah Huan nodded heavily, "Happy!" He put his arms around the emperor's neck, "From now on, can Ah Huan be with his father all the time?"

The emperor was taken aback, "Does Ah Huan like being with father?"

"I like it!" Ah Huan said in a childish voice.

This surprised the emperor and Gu Yunxian.

Logically speaking, the father and son seldom saw each other all year round, so Ah Huan and him should have no relationship.But the fact is on the contrary, Ah Huan is very attached to the emperor, and when he was in the hot spring palace, he once asked her why his father never came to see him.

Could this be the feeling that blood is thicker than water?

"Why?" The emperor asked Gu Yunxian's question.

"Because..." Ah Huan said this, and looked around vigilantly. Seeing that Gu Yunxian was separated from him by a certain distance, he put his lips to the emperor's ear with confidence, "Because I think that only the father can Know what I like. If I want to go fishing or climb the roof, my mother will control me and not let me go, but father, you can't do it at all!"

He thought his voice was very low, but he didn't know that Gu Yunxian had heard everything, and couldn't help being angry and funny.

Ah Huan was talking about what happened when he was four years old.In March of that year, the emperor visited the Hot Spring Palace.At that time, Ah Huan was trying to climb up to the roof of Rouyi Hall to see the stars, everyone in the palace was terrified by his pursuit, and followed him every step of the way, lest if he was not careful, it would cause a catastrophe.

For this situation, Ah Huan was very angry.

Later, when the emperor came, seeing his gloomy appearance, he mercifully asked him what was wrong.Ah Huan told the truth, the emperor solemnly nodded.That night, Gu Yunxian heard the palace servants come over in a panic to report that His Majesty had climbed up to the roof with the little prince in his arms.

Gu Yunxian led people to the scene of the crime, only to be surprised to find that the emperor led his son to climb not the roof of Rouyi Hall, but the roof of Yiyuan Hall.The high ridge made her tremble with fear, and she had to hold A Ci's arm to stand still.

Ah Huan didn't know how worried she was, and happily stretched out his arms towards her, saying, "Grandmother, you come up too! It's so high up here, so close to the moon..."

And the emperor, who had been deliberately pretending to be calm when getting along with her in the past few years, also looked at her with a smile for the first time that night, looking very happy.

The consequence of this incident was that Gu Yunxian lost his temper and didn't give Ah Huan any snacks for ten days. From then on, he came to a conclusion in his heart: his father is considerate, and his mother is unreasonable...
