The Concubine's Biography of the Concubine Seizing the Palace

Chapter 251 The Queen Mother's Decision

"How is Concubine Xian?" The Queen Mother asked anxiously before waiting for her to greet her. 【 】

"My lady, just as the little eunuch who came to report the letter yesterday said, Concubine Xian has suffered from heatstroke and is very sick, and the high fever persists. She hasn't eaten rice for several days. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be bad luck! "Mommy Qiu respectfully said.

The Empress Dowager felt a pain in her heart when she heard the words, and she said angrily, "This year is so hot that even the Old Summer Palace can't stand it, let alone the palace."

"Your Majesty, because Concubine Xian was confinement by your decree, the servants in the palace thought that she had fallen out of favor, so they became presumptuous. The food and clothing were all inferior products, and they did not send ice cubes from the ice cellar to her." The summer heat is relieved in the Kun Palace, and... the imperial physicians also avoided, so the illness of the noble concubine Xian has been delayed until now and no one cares about it!" Qiu Nanny said truthfully.

"It's against them!" The queen mother was furious, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Show me, Ai's family is going to see the emperor!"

The emperor lives in Le'anhezhong, Qingyan, Kyushu. Due to the hot weather recently, the emperor has been staying in the palace since he left court. At this time, Wei Ning'er was playing chess with him.

"Your Majesty, the concubine surrendered!" Wei Ning'er surrendered before the end of the round.

The emperor laughed and said, "Before the game is over, you think you will lose?"

"The concubine is in a dead end, how can the emperor's chess skills be comparable to the concubine!" Wei Ning'er said the truth.

"Everyone in the harem, only you can play chess with me. Although your chess skills are not good, you are still so-so." The emperor smiled.

"That's not entirely true. Although the concubine can't win the emperor, it's not difficult to win the sisters!" Wei Ning'er said disapprovingly.

"I see that you have no intention of playing chess, but want to go for a walk?" the emperor asked with a smile.

"No, it's too hot these days, and this concubine doesn't want to leave the house for a moment!" Wei Ning'er gently wiped the sweat off her face, and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect it to be so hot this year!" The emperor's face became slightly serious.

Wei Ning'er didn't dare to say any more, she knew that in order to arrange the empress's funeral, the emperor didn't order to go to Rehe Palace to escape the summer heat this year, but she didn't expect it to be so hot.

In the past few days, the emperor almost stayed in her drunken garden, Wei Ning'er knew how much the empress' death was a blow to the emperor, and to her as well, so neither of them mentioned the empress, fearing that they would be more sad for each other.

"Your Majesty, drink a bowl of iced white fungus soup to relieve the heat!" Wei Ning'er saw that the emperor's expression was not right, and then laughed.

"Yeah!" The emperor reached out and took it.

"Report to the emperor, the empress dowager is here!" A young eunuch came in and reported.

Hearing this, the emperor immediately stood up, Wei Ning'er also hurriedly stood up from the chair, and saw the Empress Dowager walking in, who seemed a little annoyed.

"Auspicious Queen Mother!"

"May the Empress Dowager be blessed and safe!"

The Empress Dowager did not expect Wei Ning'er to be there, when she saw her, she frowned slightly because she had a bad complexion.

After helping the empress dowager to sit down, the emperor smiled and said: "It's hot, the empress dowager should rest in the palace more.!"

The Empress Dowager's complexion improved slightly, and then she said in a deep voice: "Emperor, the Ai family has thought very clearly these past few days, the queen's death is not attributable to Concubine Xian, and the emperor should stop hating her. Come to Yuanmingyuan."

The emperor's face sank when he heard the words, but he didn't say no. Although he was very angry at the moment, the person in front of him was the queen mother, his direct relative, the mother-in-law.

The queen mother was silent, and took the opportunity to say: "The emperor, it's not that the Ai family is partial to the noble concubine. Over the years, the empress has been in charge of the harem and has to be busy serving the emperor. Next to her is Concubine Xian, who has worked hard without any credit. Besides, Concubine Xian once risked herself to save the emperor. It can be seen in her heart, how important you are, the emperor. It is because she cares about you that something went wrong. It wasn't intentional, the Ai family sent Mother Qiu back to the palace to see her yesterday, only to find out that she was suffering from heatstroke and was unconscious, and those damned servants in the palace didn't serve her wholeheartedly, even the imperial doctor didn't go to her. Look at the sickness, the emperor, the empress has just gone, Aijia is still in pain, I don't want to watch Concubine Xian also go, Aijia hopes that the harem will be harmonious, emperor, you can have more children, besides I have nothing else to ask for, I am old!"

Wei Ning'er was worrying about Concubine Xian's presence in the palace, but she had no way to deal with her, when she heard the Empress Dowager said that she was going to be taken to the Old Summer Palace, she began to think about it.

Letting Concubine Xian leave the palace to come to the Old Summer Palace means that Concubine Xian will not be grounded, and her mistakes during the east tour will not be forgotten. If she cannot be dealt with at that time, she will be in crisis, but... Wei Ning'er does not believe the emperor's heart The anger just disappeared.

Although there is an empress dowager who protects Concubine Xian, in this world, this harem belongs to the emperor.

Thinking of this, Wei Ning'er had already made a decision in her heart. She looked at the emperor and the empress dowager who had been stalemate with each other, and said with a smile, "I want to report to the emperor, what the empress dowager said is very true. Treatment is the only thing to do, it is very hot in the palace now, compared to Yuanmingyuan, it is cooler, in order to let Concubine Xian recover sooner, it would be the best to bring her to Yuanmingyuan!"

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Wei Ning'er in surprise, with a trace of sullenness in his eyes.

The queen mother smiled and said: "I still think your concubine is sensible and well-behaved, emperor, you should follow the Ai family in this matter. The emperor is busy with government affairs, and the Ai family still counts on the noble concubine Xian to be by your side and be filial to the Ai family."

Hearing what the queen mother said, looking at the aging queen mother, the emperor softened his heart, and then nodded: "Since that's the case, I will obey the emperor's forehead!"

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said to Mother Qiu beside her, "Hurry up and fetch Concubine Xian from the palace!"

"Yes, empress!" Mother Qiu replied and withdrew.

After the queen mother left with a happy face, the emperor took Wei Ning'er's hand and stared at her with a sullen face, without saying a word.

"Why does the emperor look at the concubine like this!" Wei Ning'er was startled, but there was still a smile on her face.

The emperor took a deep look at her, then let go of her hand, and said to Wu Shu, "Send your concubine back to Zuixin Garden!"

Wei Ning'er froze all over, then took a step forward, took the emperor's hand and said with a smile: "Didn't the emperor just say that he wanted to take my concubine out for a walk? The concubine saw that the sky outside had changed and became much cooler. Your majesty, do you want to talk?" count!"

Wu Shulai and Bingruo who were on the side opened their mouths in surprise when they saw her like this.

It stands to reason that the emperor was angry, but someone else would have retreated in panic, but Wei Ning'er did the opposite.

"Since the emperor doesn't want to go, then the concubine will go on her own!" Wei Ning'er waited for a while and saw that the emperor was silent for a long time, then let go of him, turned around and left, but just as she took a step, the emperor held her hand tightly.

"Why do you want to help Concubine Xian?" the emperor asked in a low voice.

Wei Ning'er turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this concubine just thinks that Concubine Xian is seriously ill now, and I just feel sorry for her!"

The emperor didn't believe it, after all, Wei Ning'er was the queen's younger sister, and Wei Ning'er would not ignore the mistakes that Concubine Xian committed that day.

"The emperor doesn't believe it?" Wei Ning'er laughed coquettishly, with a strange gleam in her eyes.

"The concubine doesn't believe it either. If the concubine tells the emperor that the concubine sent her to the Old Summer Palace to deal with her, will the emperor believe it?" Wei Ning'er said suddenly.

Before the emperor could answer, Wei Ning'er said again: "The concubine is actually a person who has a small belly and will report all her flaws!"

The emperor took a fixed look at her, and pulled her out.

"Where are you going?" Wei Ning'er asked loudly, unable to keep up with his pace.

"Aren't you going out for a stroll? I will take you to Wuling Spring to see the peach blossoms!" the emperor turned his head and smiled.

"Looking at the peach blossoms? Your Majesty... are you sure?" Wei Ning'er's eyes widened suddenly. It was already June, where did the peach blossoms come from?

The emperor was slightly taken aback, then gently brushed away the fine hair on her forehead, and said with a smile, "Eat peaches!"

Wei Ning'er couldn't help laughing, and even the servants behind them couldn't help laughing.

Wuling Spring, originally named Taohuawu, is a paradise built after understanding the artistic conception of Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring", and it is also an extremely famous landscape in the Old Summer Palace.

Thousands of mountain peaches are planted in the spring scenery of Wuling, and the southeast is stacked with rocks to form a cave. You can take a boat up the stream, pass through the peach blossom cave, and enter the "paradise".

When the current emperor was still a prince, he used to live and study here, so he liked it very much and often came here.

Due to the change of the sky, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the cool breeze came slowly, which made everyone feel very comfortable.

The emperor sat under the peach tree with Wei Ning'er, looking at the familiar scenery around him, suddenly remembered the past, he also sat under the peach tree with the queen, and he also picked peaches for the queen to eat, when he was still the prince.

As soon as Wei Ning'er turned her head, she saw that the emperor was staring blankly at the front, his eyes were full of sorrow, and she immediately understood that he was missing the queen at the moment, Wei Ning'er's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wu Shulai immediately signaled Bingruo and others to back away from him.

Wei Ning'er leaned gently in the emperor's arms, wrapped her arms around him, and after a long time, she suppressed her deep sorrow, gently shook the emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty, my concubine is hungry!"

The emperor was startled, most of the previous sadness seemed to dissipate at once, seeing her looking at him pitifully, he hugged her tightly helplessly, and said softly: "During lunch, I asked you to eat more, but you Give me all the food in your bowl, and you will know that you are hungry now!"

"Whoever asks the emperor to serve the dishes that the concubines don't like!" Wei Ning'er pretended to be wronged.

"Give it to me if you don't like it, you are so bold!" the emperor deliberately said with a straight face.

But Wei Ning'er seemed not to notice, stood up from the emperor's embrace, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine is going to pick peaches!"

The emperor couldn't help being uncomfortable, he held her back, and said with a smile, "Don't go!"

He really couldn't imagine how she could go up the tree to pick the peaches while stepping on her flowerpot shoes.

The emperor had to admit that Wei Ning'er was much more daring in front of her than any concubine in the palace, but he happened to be very helpful, as long as she was by his side, he would be in a particularly good mood.
