Rebirth after waste

Chapter 65

Exactly as Cai Jia said, after half an hour the congratulators from all palaces arrived.

Zhuang Jieyu and Rou Wanyi lived in the same palace, and they came here together. As soon as they met, they smiled and said: "The concubine got up early in the morning and was eating, when she heard the news from the eunuch, I was taken aback." Big jump!"

Rou Wanyi also said: "Your Majesty played such a good piece of music last night, and my concubine wondered why His Majesty didn't give you a reward. So it's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to give a reward, but is just thinking about what kind of reward to deserve!"

Gu Yunxian smiled, but didn't answer.

With a glance, he caught a glimpse of a water-blue figure behind them, and couldn't help laughing: "Ruan Qiongzhang is here too?"

Ruan Qingyu said softly: "Yes. The concubine congratulates Empress Chongrong on her promotion to the throne."

This Ruan Qingtong's style and posture are very similar to Jing Fushu's, she is as cowardly and cowardly as she is unclothable, and this has aroused discussions among the court concubines on the day of the Chaoyun Palace election.

Such a person naturally couldn't please Jing Fushu. When she was in power, Ruan Qinghuang had a very difficult life.

Ruan Qinghuang lives in Chuining Palace and is Zhuang Jieyu's palace resident.Zhuang Jieyu listened to Gu Yunxian's orders, and protected her a few times when the other party pushed her too hard, which made her very grateful.

Now that Jing Fushu has fallen out of favor, she has been living in seclusion for several months, not even showing up at such occasions as the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet.Gu Yun stared enviously, Ruan Qinghuang seemed to be much more relaxed than before, presumably she was very satisfied with the situation.

However, it is not a trivial matter for me to be promoted to be full of capacity today, according to the rules, all the high-ranking palace people in the sixth palace will come to congratulate her.Will Jing Fushu bite the bullet, or find an excuse to shirk?
She suddenly became interested.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." Gu Yunxian said lazily, "Okay, don't stand still, sit down."

Just as Zhuang Jieyu, Rou Wanyi and Ruan Qiongzhang sat down, there was another sound from outside, and all the concubines arrived one after another.

Gu Yunxian sat in the upper seat, accepting everyone's congratulations with a light smile. This posture is a bit like the past. She is still a queen, and she sits in the upper seat every day to accept the morning and evening appointments of the concubines of the six palaces.

Ming Chongyi came in with Ling Chongyuan.

Gu Yunxian was talking with Yu Shuyi at the time, and after hearing the eunuch's biography, he casually turned around and saw Ming Chongyi's cold face.

She looked at her with a smile for a while, then slowly got up, "Yue Niang, Jing Niang, you two are here, I am chatting with Mistress Shuyi about Princess Fukang's childhood fun!"

Princess Fukang is the daughter of Yu Shuyi, the eldest daughter of His Majesty, who just turned seven years old this year.

When Ming Chongyi heard her addressing herself, the veins on her forehead twitched.

Gu Yunxian always doesn't care who is called sister, even Yu Shuyi, who is older than her and has a higher status, still calls her a lady.It's just because for a woman who works together with a husband, calling someone else's sister always feels like a disadvantage, especially because she used to be like that.No matter how big or small the concubines of the sixth palace are, they should call her elder sister.

Before that, she was Guiji and she was Chongyi, so she called her Empress Chongyi.But now that she has become full of capacity, she is on the same level as herself, so naturally she doesn't need to be called that anymore.

Although she knew it in her heart, when she really faced all this directly, she still couldn't help feeling annoyed.

It took her so much effort to bring this woman who had been suppressing her to the bottom.No matter how high she was in the past, she is now lower than her.But this situation has only been maintained for less than two years, and she is already on an equal footing with her!
Really hateful!

Ling Chongyuan took a step forward calmly, half in front of her, blessing her body slightly, "Jingru came to congratulate Chongrong on his promotion."

Gu Yunxian hurriedly returned a salute, "Ms. Jing, you are too polite. Sit down quickly, Caijia, and show tea to the two ladies."

After Ling Chongyuan took Ming Chongyi to sit in their respective seats, seeing that Ming Chongyi was still cold and silent, she had to be patient and perfunctory for her.

A smile appeared on her usually indifferent face, she said to Yu Shuyi: "I haven't seen the princess for a while, I wonder how she is doing?"

Yu Shuyi smiled and said: "Very good. I took her measurements yesterday and found that she has grown taller again, and I can't wear any of last year's clothes!"

"The concubine saw that the princess was born extremely beautiful and slim, so she must be a great beauty when she grows up!" Zhuang Jieyu laughed, "I don't know what kind of son-in-law would be worthy of her!"

"I don't want the princess to surrender so soon at all." Yu Shuyi smiled and shook her head, "When I think about it, I feel unhappy, so stop talking. It's still early!"

Gu Yunxian smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really reluctant to part with her daughter! Sure enough, all mothers in the world have the same heart."

Ming Chongyi looked coldly at the happy crowd, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled, "Looking at Zhuang Jieyu's appearance, it seems that she likes her daughter very much?"

Seeing that she took the initiative to talk to her, Zhuang Jieyu didn't dare to neglect her, and hurriedly replied: "Naturally. As the saying goes, a daughter is a mother's caring little padded jacket, and my concubines have always hoped to have a charming girl under their knees."

Ming Chongyi showed a regretful expression, "That's such a pity. The one who wanted a daughter gave birth to a son, but the one who wanted a son only had a daughter. If Zhuang Jieyu and Empress Shuyi were to switch places, everyone would be happy. "

Yu Shuyi heard the irony in her words, her shoulder muscles stiffened, and her expression became a little unnatural.

Gu Yunxian didn't expect Ming Chongyi to be so angry, almost in a state of catching someone and scolding someone, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

The atmosphere was awkward, Jin Muhua suddenly frowned and said: "Miss Chongyi, what do you mean by that? Losing the eldest son is the most painful thing in Mistress Shuyi's heart, and she usually doesn't even dare to think about it. You have lost your child too Mother, how can you say such a thing?"

Originally, Ming Chongyi just couldn't see Yu Shuyi's satisfied face when she talked about the child, what's more, when she entered the door, she happened to see her having a happy conversation with Gu Yunxian, and the long-standing resentment against her boiled in her heart again.

She said that sentence to ridicule that she has no son, so why should she be proud of having a daughter.Unexpectedly, Jin Muhua misunderstood her like this.

The son Yu Shuyi gave birth to was His Majesty's eldest son. After his death, His Majesty was very sad and wrote an eloquent letter to mourn the deceased son.

The past is vivid in my mind, if His Majesty felt that he was talking about it casually, he would definitely be angry.

Thinking of this, she panicked, and shot her eyes like a knife at Jin Muhua, "What nonsense are you talking about! When did this palace mention the eldest son of the emperor? In front of so many people, who do you want to accuse!"

Jin Muhua was neither humble nor overbearing, "The concubine didn't accuse anyone. The concubine just believed what she heard. You understand in your heart what the meaning of Empress Chongyi is."

"you……."

"Okay, Xi Wei, don't talk about it." Yu Shuyi said lightly, with a sad expression on her face, "I don't want to bring this up."

Jin Muhua bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, forgive me. It's my concubine's fault, I shouldn't make your Majesty sad."

"No, it's not your fault."

Ming Chongyi watched the two people pretending, only felt that the anger in her heart was getting stronger, but she didn't know how to break out.

After Jin Muhua comforted Yu Shuyi, his eyes turned, and he happened to meet Gu Yunxian's eyes with a smile and sized her up.

There was too much content in that gaze, which made her heart feel empty for no reason.

Straightening her back, she forced herself to be calm and smiled back at her.

Gu Yunxian turned his head, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

More than two months ago, she and Bo Xiwei teamed up to plot against Jing Fushu, turning her from the former favorite concubine into a woman that no one cares about.

During this process, Bo Xiwei has always been loyal to her.However, the development of things was different from her idea, and the emperor had other plans of his own.

She guessed that the emperor must have said something to Bo Xiwei in Xiansi Pavilion that day, otherwise there was no way to explain why he did not punish Zhen Guiji.

But when she asked about it seemingly unintentionally, she got an unexpected answer.

"Your Majesty just told the concubine that it was the second sister who poisoned Zhen Guiji and then blamed it on the concubine. He reprimanded me, saying that I should not discriminate between right and wrong, and that I should not take the blame for the second sister. The concubine also begged for forgiveness." Other than that, I didn’t say anything.” She said sincerely, “Your Majesty, maybe the clues we left were too subtle, and His Majesty didn’t notice the loopholes in Mingzhu’s words, so he decided that it was from Second Sister. hand."

Gu Yunxian looked at her indifferently when he heard the words, thinking in his heart, did she think such a clumsy lie could deceive her?

If the emperor really didn't notice the doubts in Mingzhu's words, if she really didn't tell the emperor the words that dragged concubine Zhengui into the water, what would Jing Fushu be like in these few months?
Knowing that she can't be fooled, but still doing this, there is only one answer: she doesn't mind letting her know that she is not loyal to her.

Sure enough, she knew from the very beginning that this Bo Xiwei was not a person who would be manipulated.

Thinking about it now, Shen Zhuyang lived in the same palace with her, so he probably worked hard on her usually.Bo Xiwei seemed to have taken refuge in her at the time, but in fact, Shen Zhuyang had already drawn her over.

Without taking any risks, Shen Zhuyang used her hands to defeat Zhen Guiji and help Bo Xiwei to the top. It can be said that she won a complete victory.

Today's Bo Xiwei is loyal to Shen Zhuyang.

"Empress Zhengui arrived—"

The sudden sound surprised everyone.

Zhen Guiji?He hadn't seen her until now, and thought she wouldn't be here today.After all, she has been hiding from the world for several months, and no one will pursue her if she doesn't come.

But who knew she came unexpectedly!

As soon as Zhen Guiji stepped into the hall, everyone could see that she had lost a lot of weight.Wearing a water-blue chest-length skirt, wearing a pearl-white cloak on her arms, and her black hair tied into a bun, she looks even more charming.

After she came in, the hall was silent for at least five breaths, and everyone looked at her with different eyes, smiling but not smiling.

Zhen Guiji saluted calmly, "The concubine sees Empress Yu Shuyi, Empress Ming Chongyi, and Empress Ling Chongyuan." Turning to Gu Yunxian, her smile deepened by three points, "Empress Yuan Chongrong is overjoyed, and my concubine congratulates you!" !"

Yu Shuyi didn't speak, Gu Yunxian thought about it, and felt that this was her place after all, and the protagonist today was also herself, so she said lightly: "Okay, get up."

This tone is too contemptuous, and some people present have gloating expressions.
