Chapter 18

March is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Although the peach blossoms in the palace peach garden are not as lively as those in the Shanglin garden, they are more diverse and worth seeing.At this time in previous years, the concubines love to go to Taoyuan to enjoy the flowers, but this year, no one is so interested.

Although the flowers in Zhuoqu Pond are not in bloom yet, the scenery is quite beautiful.Gu Yunxian invited Yin Lingyi out to play together. Considering that she hadn't seen the second son of the emperor for many days, Yin Lingyi brought her son out specially to show Gu Yunxian.

Little Jihang is only eight months old now, and she can't even walk. She is nestled in the arms of her nurse, looking cute as Yuxue.Gu Yunxian teased him for a while, and said with a smile: "The last time I saw him, he was only full moon, and he grew so big in a blink of an eye."

"Sister, you don't know that children grow up so fast, I'm still surprised when I see them every day, let alone you?" Yin Lingyi laughed.

"After all, you are blessed to have a son by your side."

Yin Lingyi hurriedly said: "Sister, how do you say such a thing? You are still young, and you will definitely have children in the future..."

"I just mentioned it casually, so don't worry too much." Gu Yun said enviously, "I just see that Ah Hang is so likable, and I am a little envious."

Only then did Yin Lingyi feel relieved, and was about to say something when she saw a pink figure not far away and was slightly taken aback.

Gu Yunxian turned back following her gaze, glanced at the person, and smiled: "Xing Cairen."

Xing Cairen has been pregnant for seven months. At this moment, she has a big belly, round cheeks, and her whole appearance has changed.But Gu Yunxian could see the joy of being a mother from the bloated cheeks, that kind of strong sense of happiness dyed her facial features with a layer of brilliance, which was indescribably touching.

"Ah Wan has seen the two elder sisters." After six months of pregnancy, the emperor was exempted from kneeling and worshiping as usual, so she just blessed Yin Lingyi.

"I haven't seen Sister Xing for a long time, I don't know how she is doing?" Yin Lingyi went up to meet her and asked with concern.

Xing Cai said: "Very good."

"I heard that my sister has been locked in the Yixiang Palace these days and rarely goes out. This is not good. If you are pregnant, you should go out more often. It is also good for the fetus."

"Ah Wan understands." Xing Cairen said in a low voice, "The imperial doctor also told me to go out more, but... Ah Wan is a person who brings right and wrong, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble because of herself."

Gu Yunxian was taken aback by saying this.That's right, that day in the Hall of Changxin, Bo Jinrou was executed on the charge of "intentioning to murder Xing Cairen's womb son". Everyone said something more or less, but the only person who remained silent from the beginning to the end was the person concerned .Whether it's her, the queen mother, or even Zhen Jieyu and the emperor, no one remembers to ask her opinion, to ask the opinion of the child's mother.

Sure enough, people who are too soft-tempered are always the easiest to be ignored.Thinking about these days, she must have had a hard time.

"Talented people don't say that." Gu Yunxian said, "The Bo's matter is due to her evil intentions and her own fault. What has it to do with you? Don't worry about her."

Xing Cairen remained silent.Gu Yunxian had a thought, these days he has been trying to find ways to cultivate power, isn't this a great opportunity?After the Meiyuan incident, Xing Wan must have had a grudge against Jing Fushu, and if she stepped in at this moment, she would definitely make her give up on her.

Those mysterious and hidden words were already on his lips, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at the woman with worried eyes and a big belly in front of him.

She has worked hard enough now, do I still want to plot against her at this time?
"Today is such a coincidence that I met three of you here!" A lazy and cold voice came, "Jingniang, you see, I said that you can meet interesting people when you go shopping in Zhuoqu Pond. How about it, didn't I lie to you, did I?"

The three of them turned around, Yin Lingyi and Xing Cairen took two steps forward, and said: "My concubines, please see Empress Jiang Chongyi and Empress Zhu Guiji, the two empresses are safe."

"Yes." Jiang Chongyi said lazily, staring at Xing Cairen with a pair of wonderful eyes that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. Did you come here today?"

Xing Cairen respectfully said: "Go back to Madam, my concubine was really unwell a few days ago, so I had to go back to Madam's invitation, and the imperial doctor ordered me to come out today, saying that I should not stay in the room all the time."

"That's how it is." Jiang Chongyi suddenly realized, "I still think you look down on me, and you don't want to go to the garden with me!"

Not far away, Gu Yunxian clearly saw the sweat dripping from Xing Cairen's forehead: "Your Majesty's words really wronged my concubine, why would my concubine not be happy to accompany and serve my concubine? Your empress does not dislike my concubine's clumsiness. The concubine's luck is that."

"Really?" Jiang Chongyi said, "But I see that you used to only follow Zhen Jieyu, but now..."

Her eyes swept over Gu Yunxian, and a smile appeared on her red lips: "There is a sentence that I have wanted to say a long time ago, sister Xing, you don't seem to have a good eye for people! The matter of Mrs. Bo It's still vivid in my memory, you learned your lesson and avoided the one in Cheng'an Hall, but why are you with Lady Gu again? Could it be that you feel that, in your current state of being pregnant with Liujia, you can't get along with this former empress? It's a good thing to get mixed up?" There was a meaningful pause, "I used to suffer a lot from it."

She just ruthlessly provoked her and Xing Cairen in front of Gu Yunxian, with sharp words.Gu Yunxian didn't think it was strange, it's nothing, she has always been like this, last time she dared to slap her with a big fanfare, now what's the point of saying a few mean words?
In the eyes of everyone, she was the one who was sorry for her.

Xing Cairen became more and more uneasy, and stood with his head down in front of Jiang Chongyi, as if he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet. Coupled with her round belly, it was really sympathetic.

"It's a rare and beautiful view, Yueniang, please don't say a few words." Guiji Zhushi stretched out her hand to rub her temples, and said coldly, "It's nothing but a headache."

Jiang Chongyi looked back at her, and smiled indifferently: "Ms. Jing, you are soft-hearted." Turning to Xing Cairen, "If my sister is tired, go back and rest earlier."

This is giving Zhu Guiji face.

Xing Cairen couldn't get what he wanted, and immediately said: "No, thank you for your concern. The concubine will leave." After saluting, he turned around and took the palace servants away.

After she walked away, Jiang Chongyi turned his attention to Gu Yunxian, and smiled: "How is Miss Gu?"

Gu Yunxian said with a smile: "Thank you, Empress Chongyi, for thinking about me, everything is fine with me."

Jiang Chongyi nodded: "I'm asking too much. No one in the harem knows recently that the previous dynasty is arguing for restoration. The lady has such a blessing, so naturally everything goes smoothly and is extremely good!" Suddenly remembered something , "Ah, maybe it won't be long before I have to call my mother back, don't you think?"

Last time outside the Changxin Hall, she also mentioned the matter of whether she was restored in the same way. At that time, she could accuse her of guessing her favor and discussing the ownership of the successor, but now she can't.The previous dynasty had already broken out, and she was only stating a fact, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"Your Majesty has his own discretion on this matter." Gu Yunxian said lightly.

"Your Majesty is arbitrary?" Jiang Chongyi nodded, "Ms. Gu is indeed more polite and cautious now. It seems that people who have experienced the world are different."

After saying this, she looked away a little, and the smile on her lips became three points colder: "Just seeing the current situation, I feel sorry for Gong Yipei. If she is still alive, there will be a woman like Mrs. Gu." I wonder if His Majesty will give her a chance to reform herself?"

Gongyi Pei.The original beauty of public appearance, one of the family members who entered the palace in the first year of Yongjia was very favored by the emperor, but she hanged herself on the third day of September last year.On the same day, Gu Yunxian was deposed as queen, and most of the people close to the palace were executed.

Seeing Gu Yunxian's complexion changed slightly, Jiang Chongyi smiled mockingly, and turned to look at Yin Lingyi: "Sister Yin, the second son of the emperor seems to have gained a lot of weight, I really like it."

Yin Lingyi smiled and said: "How can a child not gain weight after eating, sleeping and sleeping all day long? If the empress likes it, I will personally take Ah Hang to the Xianchi Hall some other day, so I can amuse the empress and relieve my boredom?"

"Then I will wait for you." Jiang Chongyi smiled, "But sister, you have to be careful, children are the most vulnerable to bumps and bumps, so don't be taken advantage of by others."

Yin Lingyi naturally knew what she meant, paused for a moment, and then responded: "I will save it for my concubine, thank you for your advice."

After her long talk with guns and sticks, Zhu Guiji got impatient: "Are you ready? You said you were going to go boating on Chishang, why are you delaying here?" The two of them were good friends when they were in the boudoir. She also married into the East Palace in the same year, and she has always been more affectionate than others, so even though Jiang Chongyi's status is half a rank higher than hers, Zhu Guiji often treats her with unfaltering words.

"Okay, okay, let's go now." Jiang Chongyi said, "It's harder than going to the sky to call you out. It's thankless, and I will definitely not do this kind of thing next time."

"I don't know how many times you have said this, I really hope you can remember one time, then I will be quiet..."

The two gossiped while walking away, Yin Lingyi knelt down and sent her off respectfully, after a while she slowly got up and said to Gu Yunxian: "Sister, don't take her words to heart."

Gu Yunxian looked at her.

"Jiang Chongyi hates her sister so much, so she will make you unhappy every time she gets a chance, why should my sister care?" She looked directly into her eyes, "Gongyipei has always been domineering and vicious, she deserved to be executed! "

"What about me? Do you think that I deserved to be deposed?" Gu Yunxian said suddenly.

"Sister..." Yin Lingyi was at a loss and looked at her blankly.

Gu Yunxian reacted: "I'm sorry, I'm not annoying you."

Yin Lingyi thought for a while, and said clearly: "Fan Su understands, my sister doesn't like to hear about Gongyi Pei."

yes.She doesn't like it.

There has always been no shortage of domineering and domineering women in the palace, but before this, neither Bo Jinrou nor Jiang Yuechang could compare to a public figure.She is bright and beautiful, she loves to stand out from the top in everything, and she is extremely unpopular.But somehow he favored the emperor and tolerated her a lot.At that time, Gu Yunxian was still the queen, and their identities differed so much, but she still blocked her sourly several times and didn't know what to do.

So, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when the palace lady Huan'er who she placed next to Gongyipei came to tell her that Gongyimei was having an affair with the child in Jiang Guiji's womb, she remained calm on the surface, but secretly fell in love with her. Heart.
