Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 7
I slept peacefully all morning, and when I woke up kindly, it was already past noon.

strangeness!This sleep time is not short, why is the head a little swollen.

After rubbing his temples kindly for a long time, he felt more comfortable.

"Xingyi, in a moment, you accompany me to Jingren Palace to deliver something." Qin Xin saw Shengyi and ordered.

"Yes, aunt." She replied kindly.

"You take care of the agate brocade box first, I'll go to the House of Internal Affairs to get some things." Qin Xin handed the brocade box to Sheng Yi, then turned and left.

Looking at the wine-red brocade box, he put it away gently with kindness.

After Xueyan accidentally saw it, she obediently asked, "What is that?"

"Agate, the emperor gave it to the empress."

"Can you take a look?" Xueyan asked with bright eyes.

Sheng Yi wasn't used to taking apart other people's things to look at them, but seeing Xue Yan's staring expression, he couldn't bear it, "Let's take a closer look."

Xue Yan nodded with a smile, stretched out her fingers and gestured, "Just one glance."

Carefully opened the brocade box, a string of fine agate necklaces appeared in front of my eyes, so beautiful.

"The emperor is so kind to the empress." Xue Yan sighed enviously.

He smiled kindly, and said domineeringly: "In the future, I will give you any good things!"

Xueyan's face paused, tears filled her eyes, she choked up slightly and said, "Thank you, for your kindness."

Sheng Yi's heart softened, how much cold eyes she had received, Xue Yan was so touched just because she cared a little.

"Ugh—" Suddenly, Xueyan covered her heart, her face looked a little pale.

Kindly asked nervously: "What's the matter? Xueyan?"

"I have a heartache. I need to store it in the cabinet in the house. Help me get it." Xue Yan trembled as she spoke.

Seeing Xueyan's situation, Shengyi also started to panic, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the inner room, "I'll get it, just be patient."

After tumbling for a while, I found the medicine box in the cabinet, and ran to Xueyan in three steps at a time. The more anxious I became, the more my hands trembled, "Xueyan, come, take the medicine!"

Xueyan's face was slightly pale, and she swallowed the medicine with her kind hands.

Kindly soothing Xueyan's chest with concern, "Is it better?"

After a while.

Xueyan's face turned red, and she forced a smile and replied: "It's much better..."

Only then did Sheng Yi gasp for breath, patted his heart, and said, "You scared me to death! What's going on?"

Xue Yan replied weakly: "I probably started to suffer from heart palpitations the year before last, so this medicine is always on hand."

Cheng Yi frowned and said: "So that's the case, has the imperial doctor seen it?"

Xueyan said bitterly: "We are servants, where will it be the turn of the imperial doctor to check the pulse, just take some medicine and you will be fine."

Seeing Xueyan suffer so badly, she couldn't help but feel that it was not worth it for them. She had dedicated her whole life to the palace, but she had to work hard to sustain life, old age, sickness and death.

Before waiting for the kindness to feel sad again, Aunt Qin Xin walked over to meet her.

"Let's go, go and come back quickly." Qin Xin also brought a booklet in her hand.

"Yes, aunt." She replied kindly.

Turning his head to look at Xueyan, he asked softly, "Can you stay here by yourself?"

Xueyan nodded, "Go ahead, I'm fine."

Just when Shengyi was about to go out holding the brocade box, Xueyan suddenly called out to Shengyi, "Shengyi!"

She glanced at Xueyan suspiciously, "What's wrong? My heart hurts again?"

Xueyan shook her head, looked deeply at Shengyi, "It's okay, let's go."

Jingren Palace is very lively at the moment.

When Qin Xin kindly entered, all the concubines in the palace turned their heads to look at them.

Immediately, Shengyi felt that the fiery eyes were like tourists watching rare animals in the zoo.

"See empress! See masters!" The two saluted.

The queen raised her hand, "Get up."

Qin Xin smiled and said: "I would like to report to the empress, the Jiangning mansion has obtained a string of high-quality agates. The emperor said that this is only suitable for the empress to wear, so he sent his servants to bring it to the empress."

Concubine Lan sat on the left side of the empress, looked sideways at the brocade box, and said in a sour tone: "Look at the emperor, what good things do you think of the empress?"

Knowing that Concubine Lan didn't have any malicious intentions, the queen replied with a smile: "I heard that the emperor sent something to Yuxiu Palace early in the morning."

Concubine Lan smiled all over her face, "The emperor said that my concubine has been feeling unwell recently, so I would like to give you something to nourish me. It can't compare to a treasure like agate."

The pure concubine replied enviously: "Empress Empress, Sister Lan Concubine, this is the emperor's obvious preference, but the concubines have nothing."

Qi Guiren didn't say anything, looking at the three sisters who were full of smiles, thinking that she had been tortured by Liang Sujin in vain but had not been vented by the emperor, she became angry for a while, and seeing the kindness behind Qin Xin, her heart was even more blocked.

"Open it quickly, let's take a look!" Chun Concubine looked at Qin Xin.

Shanyi took a step forward.

Qin Xin gently opened the brocade box.

"This—" Qin Xin was full of panic.

Looking at it kindly, suddenly, my heart is cold, why are two of the good agate beads broken?
"What's going on, Sheng Yi?" Qin Xin's face was serious and anxious.

Sheng Yi knelt down in panic, his mind went blank...

"I don't know—" Sheng Yi really didn't know what was going on.

The queen heard this, and got up eagerly to check.

With a condensed expression in an instant, he said, "What's going on?"

Concubine Lan couldn't bear to be curious, she glanced at it, and said, "This--what a wonderful thing, it's a pity..."

The Queen and Concubine Lan were kind on the surface, and no one would miss any chance to see a joke.

The queen's face became even uglier, and she said sharply, "Qin Xin, what's going on?"

Qin Xin knelt down in fear, and said back: "I want to report to the empress, the servant gave the brocade box to Shengyi, and then went to the House of Internal Affairs to get the current month's account book of Qianhui Palace. But when it was handed over to Shengyi, it was obviously intact."

Sheng Yi's head was buzzing, she couldn't figure out why this happened?
"Do you still need to guess? It must have been intentional. I was clumsy when I was doing things in Cuiwei Palace before, so it's not surprising that I did such a thing!" Qi Guiren was bored, seized the opportunity, and tried her best to spoil her good intentions.

"Your maidservant really didn't break it, empress, you trust this maidservant." Sheng Yi really couldn't say anything, he had only been out of prison for a few days, would he be wronged and humiliated so soon?

The queen's face was always unhappy, "Then explain, how did this happen?"

"Servant—" He looked at the agate kindly, but was speechless.

"Have you opened it?" Lan Fei asked suddenly.

Sheng Yi blushed a little, and eagerly proved, "This servant opened it before, but this servant never damaged anything!"

Concubine Lan obviously didn't believe it, and said, "Is it all right when you opened it?"

He nodded kindly.

"What else is there to say? When you open it, it's in your hands, and the whole process is in your hands. Besides you, where else is there? It must have been damaged by jealousy!" Qigui's eyes showed disgust.

The good intentions suddenly stagnate...

no, no...

"Since it's in your hands all the time, and you've opened it to confirm that it's intact, I can only punish you! Come here! I've kindly looked after things improperly, and I'll give you [-] boards! You'll be fined for half a year!"

"Empress, you often teach servants to be careful when serving the imperial court. Now, this——" Qin Xin seemed to look at the queen with some distress.

The queen said impatiently: "After that, I will punish you to Xinzheku!"
