The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 622
"Look, Cao Cao will be here." Yinzhen waved his hand, motioning for Hongli to come in.

After Hongli greeted the two of them, he wanted to tell Yinzhen about the rebellion, Yanhua sighed secretly, and walked out silently.As soon as she went out, she saw Concubine Qian folded back at some point, she remembered what the court lady had said about Concubine Qian and Li Guiren arguing beside the Emperor, so she put on a straight face: "Didn't the Emperor tell you to go back?"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Qian approached, bowed to her, and then stood up with a face of shame, "It's my concubine's fault. Concubine was concerned about the emperor's illness, and she was restless after returning, so she came here anyway. It's the concubine's turn to serve the emperor, please let the concubine stay here to serve the emperor."

Yanhua didn't want to talk about why they had an argument, and waved her hand to signal her to back down: "The emperor personally ordered you to leave, so you can go back. I'm enough here, you go back and reflect on yourself."

At this time, the court lady who was serving the humble concubine suddenly knelt down: "Your imperial concubine, this servant has something to say."

Concubine Qian scolded: "Hongzhuang, get up quickly."

Hong Zhuang glanced up, and hurriedly kowtowed to Yan Hua: "Forgive me, master and Li Guiren had a dispute because Li Guiren said something that should not be said, but refused to obey the master's lesson, so... ...that disturbed the emperor."

Yanhua didn't want to talk to her at first, but after seeing the appearance of Concubine Qian, she knew that she had a good temper and would not do such an unseemly thing for no reason, thinking that this matter must be dealt with anyway, so she asked aloud : "Relying on her good background, Li Guiren has always been a bit arrogant and indulgent. You entered the palace with her, and you should know her temperament. What should be said and what should not be said, you are more tactful than her."

"Yes, my concubine always remembers my mother's teaching." The concubine silently lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip lightly.

At this moment, Hong Zhuang kowtowed a few more times, after Shao Yao took a look at Yan Hua, she scolded her: "Your Majesty will ask you later, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hong Zhuang responded embarrassingly, and then fell silent.

Yan Hua talked with Concubine Qian for a while before looking at Hong Zhuang who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, then Li Guiren said something that shouldn't be said, and how did you disobey Concubine Qian's admonition?"

"Red makeup!" Concubine Qian hurriedly called the maid, not wanting her to say anything unfavorable to Li Guiren.She and Li Guiren have been good sisters since they were young, even though she always had to listen to Li Guiren's cynicism after she became a humble concubine, she still didn't want to do anything that would be detrimental to Li Guiren.Hongzhuang said that her heart was too broad, she felt that in this harem, she only had such a good sister, if she didn't cherish it, she would be so lonely in the future.

"Master, Li Guiren always bullies the master, the master shouldn't... swallow his anger like this." Hong Zhuang seemed to have made up her mind, and refused to listen to the warning of the concubine Qian, and insisted on telling Li Guiren's bad deeds, "Return to the noble concubine, Li Guiren He said bad things about the imperial concubine over and over again, and when he came here this morning, Li Guiren said that the imperial concubine is... yes... and said bad things about the imperial concubine again. Then she became angry, so much so that when she arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she still yelled loudly, saying that the master has no right to talk to her like that..."

It turned out that Li Guiren thought that because of his good family background, he would soon be promoted to a concubine after being promoted to a nobleman, who knew that the concubine's belly was more competitive than her, and she was more popular with the emperor than her.Therefore, after Concubine Qian gave birth to the sixth elder brother Hongluo, the jealousy in Li Guiren's heart burst out unscrupulously, and she couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks in front of Concubine Qian.

Concubine Qian always swallowed her anger and forgot afterwards, and she was still smiling when she met Li Guiren next time.So Li Guiren became more and more arrogant, and even derogatory words every time he saw her.

She has no scruples when speaking in front of Concubine Qian. After Concubine Qian tolerated it for a long time, Li Guiren didn't care about the difference in their identities at all. As soon as Concubine Qian tried to persuade her, she felt that Concubine Qian was relying on her own The concubine came to suppress her and not treat her as a sister.As a result, Concubine Qian became more helpless and tolerant.

On the way to serve the sick together this time, Li Guiren began to complain about Concubine Xi's domineering concubine, saying that Concubine Xi is an old woman who always knows that she dominates the emperor all day long, and doesn't know whether it is good to let young concubines like them sleep. The emperor continued to have heirs.Concubine Qian knew that she wanted to have a child wholeheartedly, the so-called mother is more valuable than a child, no matter how good her background is, without a son and a half daughter, it would not be a solution after all, so she didn't say much at first, just listened.

After hearing her scolding without any scruples afterwards, she was afraid of being heard by the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and even the emperor, so she uttered a voice to stop her.As a result, this dissuasion and persuasion made Li Guisheng jealous, so he couldn't help arguing with her.Concubine Qian endured it again and again, flatteringly coaxing her to go in and serve the emperor together.As a result, when serving the sick, Li Guiren and Concubine Qian started arguing about serving the sick.For example, when Yinzhen was drinking porridge, she snatched the porridge bowl from the concubine Qian to feed the emperor, but she overturned the porridge, and Yinzhen drove them away impatiently once.

Yanhua already knew that during this time of sickness, those concubines who are interested will definitely think of ways to behave in front of Yinzhen, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to invite favors.But she really couldn't take care of them alone, she had to take care of them both emotionally and rationally, and they had to take turns to attend to the sick.

Concubine Qian thought that Concubine Xi would get angry after hearing what Hong Zhuang said, but her complexion was surprisingly calm.

She also couldn't figure out what Concubine Xi was thinking, so she knelt down in a panic: "Madam, Li Guiren also said something wrong unintentionally, I hope Madam will be merciful, don't argue with Li Guiren."

Seeing that she was still pleading for Li Guiren, Yanhua glanced at her indifferently: "Sisters like this, don't mind."

Concubine Qian didn't know what Concubine Xi meant by her words, and just about to ask, she saw Prince Bao Hongli walking out from inside.Yanhua took a look at Concubine Qian, and waved her hand: "Go back, you don't need to serve here anymore. Mrs. Li, you lost your manners in front of the palace, disturbed the emperor's recuperation, fined him two months' salary, and were not allowed to serve the sick again. Concubine Qian... ...One month's salary is fined to show vigilance, you... come back to serve the sick again tomorrow."

After Concubine Qian left, Yanhua stopped Hongli: "Emiang doesn't ask much about matters in the court. But your Huang Ama's illness has not been cured, and it is because you have worried too much that you have not been able to recuperate well. He Explain what you did... If you can solve it by yourself, then... don't make him worry."

It was the first time she made such a request with Hongli, after all, it was because she was too worried about Yinzhen's illness.

"Emiang, don't worry, my child knows." Hongli nodded and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Xiao Yu'er brought someone over with flowers picked from the imperial garden.Seeing this, Yanhua hurriedly inserted a branch of peach blossoms into the vase, and decorated it with a few winter jasmines and wicker, which was very eye-catching.

When Yanhua went in again holding two vases of flowers, Yinzhen was lying there frowning in a daze, he didn't even notice that Yanhua came to him and sat down.

"Take a break, Zhenlang, okay?" She asked someone to move a flower stand to the bedside, and put another vase of peach blossoms on it, "The flowers in the imperial garden are all blooming, Zhenlang's illness is protracted." After so long, I can't appreciate the spring scenery, so I asked someone to pick a few branches, so that Zhen Lang can see how fresh they are."

Yinzhen frowned and looked over, the peach blossoms were as tender as water dripping out.His brows slowly relaxed, and he watched Yan Hua bend the corners of his mouth: "It's just you, the most considerate and careful. Looking at it this way, I really feel more comfortable in my heart. When my body is better, you can accompany me Let's go to enjoy the flowers... I always thought you looked like this peach blossom, does Chanchan know why?"

Yan Hua rolled her eyes, and smiled slightly: "The beauty of the peach is shining brightly. Is Zhen Lang praising me?"

Yin Zhen paused for a moment, then laughed out loud.He raised his hand to touch her face, and pinched it lightly: "I thought it was very thick-skinned, but it's not so thick."

Yan Hua smiled brightly, and at his request, she pinched off a peach blossom and put it in his hand: "I know, didn't Zhen Lang think that I was very thin-skinned when I first entered the mansion? I blushed every now and then, just like this Like a peach blossom, a crimson color."

"You always have the fragrance of peach blossoms on your body. I thought a peach blossom fairy had fallen on my house." Yinzhen smiled and inserted the peach blossom into her bun, looked left and right, and finally nodded Nodded, "People are more beautiful than flowers, I think Chanchan is prettier than this flower."

These words amused her, she raised her hand to touch her face, and said angrily, "Zhen Lang is fooling me again, isn't he?"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and the worries in Yinzhen's heart suddenly eased a lot.

After nightfall, Yanhua refused to leave, and it was not easy to share the bed with Yinzhen, so she asked someone to make the kang couch in the inner hall, and she slept directly on the kang couch.She always felt that every day was getting worse and worse, and she didn't even want to go back.

Yinzhen was dreaming at night, talking nonsense in a daze, Yanhua hurriedly put on a cloak and rushed over: "What's wrong? Have you been haunted by a nightmare?"

When he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were moist: "I dreamed of my thirteenth brother, sitting there alone drinking and enjoying the flowers. I felt sad and wanted to go and have a drink with him, but he Pushed me, hey..."

Yanhua was shocked when she heard this, and quickly squeezed his hand: "Don't be lying, Mr. Thirteenth Uncle...he's gone, how can Mr. Zhen go over to accompany him? Mr. Mr. Zhen doesn't want Chanchan anymore? How could you talk such nonsense?"

"It's just a dream. Why are you so nervous?" He squeezed her hand and patted her shoulder lightly.

But Yanhua felt no peace in her heart anymore, she glanced at him, and cautiously said: "I want to sleep with Zhenlang." Holding him, she has to feel at ease in her heart, otherwise she will have to keep her eyes open until dawn in the middle of the night.

Yinzhen shook his head and refused flatly: "No, what if I let you get sick? Go to sleep, I'm not so useless."
