court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 8

The concubine Jia's mouth seemed to contain a gall, and the bitterness flowed from her mouth to her heart.If she hadn't been forced into desperation, she would never have asked the maids around her to climb the emperor's bed.

This kind of practice is like telling her to cut off her own limbs and stab her own heart with a knife. Winning is also losing, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Just like the entanglement in Jin Lan's heart, the conflict in her heart is simply indescribable in words.Unlike Jin Lan, her willingness finally defeated her reluctance.

She can no longer be left out in the cold like this. Seeing that the draft season is coming again, and a new batch of Yingying Yanyan will fill the harem, what chance does she have for an old person to come back.

She was selected into the palace to fight for that breath, to shine on the lintel, not to become the biggest joke in the palace.

As for Jiapin and Jinlan, the master and servant were relatively silent.The atmosphere of the entire Yongxiao Palace was even more gloomy than before. The two low-ranking maids and eunuchs who were cleaning the courtyard did not even dare to breathe loudly, and walked by quietly.

This dead silence was finally broken when Wen Xiaowan knocked on the door of Yongxiao Palace.

Meet the eyes of all kinds of people after entering Yongxiao Palace.Wen Xiaowan's face was very calm.She tried her best to maintain the character and behavior of the original owner, with her head slightly lowered, and she walked past calmly.

On the way back, Wen Xiaowan had already figured out how to answer her current master, Concubine Jia.

In the novel, Wen Wan'er is a taciturn person who doesn't like to express her opinions easily.She is very energetic and ambitious.Forbearance and scheming.

It's a pity that the devil's height is one foot high and one foot high. In the end, she was betrayed by the original owner, the concubine Jia, who she had betrayed. Therefore, in this deep palace, one can lose one's body, but one must not lose one's heart.

When Concubine Jia saw Wen Xiaowan coming in, she was so excited that she almost stood up. Fortunately, Jin Lan, who was standing beside her, supported her and stabilized her demeanor as a master.

Wen Xiaowan entered the inner room, and quickly glanced at Concubine Jia and Jin Lan.The expressions on the faces of the master and servant changed colorfully. It was so joyful that it was so complicated that a SLR camera could not capture it completely.

Wen Xiaowan bowed to the concubine Jia very calmly, before the ceremony was half over, she was excused by the concubine Jia who was in a hurry.

"Tell me, is it over?"

The fingers of the concubine Jia holding the armrest of the grass-scented wood chair protruded.

Seeing that Wen Wan'er was not wearing the one she left last night, but a neat palace attire, her whole heart couldn't help sinking, and she couldn't figure out what happened.

Facing the look of anticipation and despair, envy and jealousy in the concubine's eyes, Wen Wan'er nodded slightly.

Concubine Jia leaned back and sat back heavily in the round chair.Knowing that this result is the best, but my heart suddenly seems to be blocked by something, even breathing is difficult.

After a while, she said: "Since it is done, why is there no imperial seal?"

Being favored by the emperor, even if she is a court lady, for the future emperor's heir, she must enter the file of the respect room the next day after being favored.By convention, he will be named a servant.Unless the emperor doesn't want to talk about it after he's finished.For the sake of the emperor's heir's cleanliness, it was basically disposed of quietly.Since Wan'er can come back alive, it is by no means the latter.

Wen Xiaowan's eyes fluttered, and she glanced at Jin Lan who was standing next to Concubine Jia, Concubine Jia immediately understood, guessing that there must be something big to say about this matter.

"Jin Lan, go to the Inner Palace Supervisor to see when the Bing Jing in our palace will be delivered. Even if this palace is grounded, it will still be the main seat of Yongxiao Palace and one of the six concubines granted by the emperor. The emperor didn't say anything about it." Yes, they dare to deduct."

Ice King is the same as Charcoal King.Every summer and every winter, the use cases assigned to each palace are managed by the inner palace supervisor.

This year's Bingjing, that is, the ice used by Yongxiao Palace to cool off the summer heat, was not delivered after Concubine Jia was grounded.Now that it's July, if you don't rush, I'm afraid it won't be their turn to Yongxiao Palace in summer.

Jin Lan reluctantly nodded and said 'yes', and withdrew.

She wanted to justify a few words at first, but the concubine Jia then looked at her severely.She didn't dare to speak.They are all dowry maids, why Wan'er can get a good job as the emperor Cheng Chong, and she will end up eating people's eyes and gossiping.

Jin Lan was angry and resentful, she left the concubine Jia's bedroom, walked to the gate of the palace, and angrily kicked the big green round flower pots placed on both sides of the steps.As a result, I didn't vent my anger, but I kicked my toe so painfully.

After Jinlan went out, Wen Xiaowan walked cautiously to the door, closed the door, and returned to the inner partition of the bedroom again, looking at the thicker carpet, she knelt down.

"What's the matter? Why are you kneeling hard? If you have something to say, tell me,"

The concubine Jia couldn't figure out what Wen Xiaowan went through yesterday, and Wen Xiaowan came again, and she became even more speculative.

"Your Majesty, my servant... this servant has failed your trust," Wen Xiaowan said in a low, but steady voice, "this servant has been by your side since childhood, and has always been loyal to you, my lady. This servant knows that you are Your Majesty loves you deeply, so how can a servant girl share the grace with your empress, servant girl... a servant girl can't do such a thing that betrays the master..."

Wen Xiaowan pinched her thighs green, and finally forced some tears from her eyes, showing a few waves of shimmering light, which added a lot of visual effect.

Concubine Jia's conflicted and entangled mood since last night can't be eliminated in a while.

After hearing Wen Xiaowan's cry, mixed with surprise and bittersweet, she almost gritted her teeth and said, "Whoever said you betrayed the master, it's clearly what I ordered you, just do it , how can there be so many scruples."

The look in Wen Xiaowan's eyes is also full of hatred, but it is much better than the fleeting but poisonous eyes when Wen Xiaowan first came in.

Wen Xiaowan was sensitive to the changes in the attitude of the concubine Jia, and she was even more sure that her choice was right last night - in this world, no matter how good sisters and girlfriends are, the only thing that cannot be shared is a man except for a toothbrush.

"Your Majesty, this servant knows that you are suffering in your heart, so that's why I made such a bad plan. After much deliberation, this servant can't do such a thing that I'm sorry to your Majesty, but I also know the predicament you are facing, Madam. The master is humiliated and the slave and servant should share their worries. In the end, ...."

Wen Xiaowan deliberately paused here, to whet the appetite of the concubine Jia, and after several times of urging by the concubine Jia, she said: "Finally...finally, the servant finds Mr. Nie."

Nie Jinyan's reputation is stronger than Wen Xiaowan imagined.

Only now did she say 'Company Nie', and the concubine Jia didn't care about her image, and she abandoned all her elegance and delicacy to the Pacific Ocean.

The whole person stood up, took a big step forward, half bent down, put his hands on Wen Xiaowan's shoulders, his eyes were wide open, "Who are you talking about? Who did you find?"

Wen Xiaowan was speechless - Nie Jinyan, Nie Jinyan, how strong is your deterrent power, even the emperor's concubines trembled for you.

She didn't react until Empress Jia concubine hugged her shoulders and shook her so much that she was about to find the feeling of riding a roller coaster in her previous life.

"Isn't your empress confused? In the whole palace, is there a second Sigong Nie? Of course it's the imperial chief who waits by the emperor's side."

Wen Xiaowan blinked her eyelashes lightly, looking very innocent, until the concubine Jia's mood stabilized, and asked her: "You are...how did you find him?"

Nie Jin said that in the harem, this person does not show the mountains or dew, and has never been involved in the battles between the emperor's concubines, but no matter whether the concubines are in power or not, who has been in the palace for a period of time, who doesn't know that Nie Jin Yan is the most powerful eunuch in the palace.It's a pity that this person is not slippery, and no one can win him over.

Wen Xiaowan did not answer Concubine Jia directly, but turned to another matter that Concubine Jia cared more about.

"Sigong Nie told me to tell my empress, don't worry about your empress's peace, and the matter of regaining favor can start from the empress dowager's [-]th birthday."

When Concubine Jia heard Wen Xiaowan mentioning the emperor's pet, the question she asked earlier was immediately dismissed. She frowned and said, "The Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday? Is this... feasible?"

Although the empress dowager's estrangement with the mother and son of today's saint is well concealed on the surface, outsiders may not know this kind of open secret.

The Jin'an Dynasty respected Confucianism and Taoism, and ruled the country with filial piety.He attaches great importance to rules such as the father guides the husband guides the son guide, and the division of concubine and concubine. Over the years, the management has been strengthened, but the deepest level of irony for this kind of governance comes from the deep palace.

Since the founding of the state of Jin'an, five generations of emperors have been passed down, but none of them were descendants, including this generation of Emperor Longyao of Jin'an who sat on the throne of the emperor, and none of them was born dignifiedly from the belly of the empress of the main palace.

Long Yao's biological mother was a low-grade concubine in the palace. She gave birth to Long Yao and was named the most beautiful woman, but died of illness not long after giving birth to Long Yao.

The Empress of the Central Palace at that time, who is now the Empress Dowager of the Compassionate Ning Palace, has never been pregnant.

She was married to the first emperor for more than ten years, and the concubines in the palace gave birth one after another. She, the empress in the middle palace, has never been seen.

Under the persuasion of her natal family and those close to her, she was forced to recognize Long Yao, who had just lost her mother and was still young and naive, as her legitimate son, and recorded it under her name.

Jin'an palace law stipulates that anyone who is recorded in the name of the aunt is treated as a son of the aunt, and enjoys the same treatment as the son born to the aunt.This is mainly to prevent the empress of the middle palace from being unable to have children, and the throne and the country are changed.This rule is only applicable to the royal family because it is a palace law.

Today's emperor took advantage of such a bargain, because his biological mother died young, her birth mother's family was humble, and she had no background, so he was recognized by his aunt as his son, and he became the eldest son in name only.

There is no free lunch in the world, if you pick up a big bargain, it would be great if you are always lucky, but luck is such a thing, there is no rule of following a person for a long time.

This lucky prince was recognized by the queen and recorded as the eldest son. Within three years, that is, when he was five years old, the queen, who had not conceived for many years, unexpectedly became pregnant and had a son all at once. Now the dragon qi who is sealed as Prince Rui.

This unlucky child, who was obviously the only son of the empress dowager, who became the emperor of Jin'an Kingdom, became a prince, and the empress dowager recognized the concubine's son in order to understand the temporary worries, and became the emperor instead.

——How can you be willing to call this pair of mother and son?
When the late emperor was in power, the empress repeatedly searched for the faults of the current sage, and wanted to abolish the eldest son who had no blood relationship with her. same origin.

The first emperor strictly prohibited the queen's request, fearing that the queen would not like the present sage and would be detrimental to the present sage, and sent the present sage to his aunt, who was the empress dowager's palace at that time, to raise him on his behalf.

Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, after many years of turmoil, the mother and son have already been at odds with each other, how can there be any mother-child affection?

Of course, no matter how much they look down on each other in private, the face project is still well done, and the Queen Mother's birthday is celebrated every year, as if the emperor is the most dutiful son in the world.

"Sigong Nie said, if your empress can help you save the emperor's face, how can the emperor not think of your empress's Huizhi Lanxin?"

Wen Xiaowan guessed that this was what Nie Jinyan told Xiaofuzi to pass on to her.

The people in the palace didn't speak too bluntly, they turned a few turns, and there was indefinite amount of insidiousness hidden in them.

Wen Xiaowan went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, and quickly mastered some superficial concepts, not to mention using them freely, and generally has a little flavor.

"Is that what Company Nie said?" Concubine Jia was still a little uncertain, this attack was directly related to her future life and death.She had to be careful.

"Well, yes, ma'am,"

Wen Xiaowan got up from the ground, held the concubine's hand, and helped her to the concubine Xiang's couch in the inner room, "Your Majesty, do it first, there are many ways to present a "Diamond Sutra"."

Empress Jia concubine nodded slightly, feeling good.She was already smart, but after being reminded, she couldn't think clearly.

She took Wen Xiaowan's hand, and asked very worriedly: "You haven't told me yet, how did you find Company Nie?"

The relationship between Wen Xiaowan and Nie Jinyan can be kept from anyone, but not from the concubine Jia, otherwise, how would the concubine Jia believe what she said?
Wen Xiaowan showed the fearless spirit of a martyr going to death and said: "Slave... This servant admires Sigong Nie a lot, and I have already made a rivalry with him last night."
