The queen is alluring

Chapter 316

After Princess Miaojiang was beheaded, the royal family of the Miao nationality also ushered in a bloody storm. Zhang Yongji, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, pleaded for Wei Ziru and Liu Yanheng, but in the end he compromised, because Yun Qing's death in the court hall that day That sentence was so thought-provoking that even the Manchu officials were frightened.

Four or five months of pregnancy has already highlighted a lot of inconveniences, and sometimes you have to be careful when walking up and down.After the injury on her face healed, Man'er accepted Ling Yexuan's imperial decree, and always accompanied Yun leaning to her side, not leaving every step, and had to handle everything by herself without any mistakes.Therefore, when Yun Qing's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Man'er gradually became more and more verbose, and often even chattered for a long time about a trivial matter, making the people around him shy.

In the imperial garden, the lake and pond are still and blue waves are rippling. Looking down, there are blooming bright red and pink hibiscus floating in the pond, which adds a bit of fragrance to the originally hot and dry weather.

"Empress, please slow down, the sun here is poisonous, how can you bear it like this, let's go to the gazebo to have a cup of herbal tea to cool off the heat, and have some snacks." Seeing Yun Qing standing in the winding white marble corridor, Man'er immediately ordered the people behind him The eunuch held the canopy to go to shade the sun, and then began to babble again.

"Who is that person over there?" Yun Qing looked at the sudden reflection of a few slender biluo figures in the water, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked forward, only to see a few girls who were not dressed like palace maids slowly walking on the opposite side Playing in the garden, there are a few familiar faces of the old man in the harem, but the last few are extremely unfamiliar.

Man'er looked up, and when he saw those women, his complexion changed slightly, he seemed a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "These people don't stay in the palace well, what are they doing here, you two, go tell them, Empress Dowager You are lucky to visit the imperial garden, and the idlers avoid it"

"Yes..." The two maids following behind immediately bowed their heads, but was stopped by Yun Qing who was suspicious, because Man'er often did this thing recently.

Once or twice, it is true that there is no need to be suspicious, but if the number of times is too many, it becomes a cover-up.In the past few days, as her body became more and more inconvenient, she gradually stopped asking about government affairs. Except for occasionally giving advice to Ling Yexuan, she went to bed very early almost every day, so she didn't bother with the palace. things.

But seeing those people again today, Yun Qing suddenly felt that she seemed to have missed something, especially when she saw Man'er's deliberate concealment, she was even more puzzled.

"Let's go over, I want to know what they are talking about, they are so happy," Yun Qing said lightly.These are not palace women, but they can come and go freely in the imperial garden, which is indeed a bit weird, because the women in the harem have been imprisoned, and it has become a dead city.Not even the Queen Mother could take a step.

Man'er's face showed panic, she was about to stop her, but when she saw Yun Qing's indifferent eyes, she swallowed the words she was going to say, and could only bow her head and say: "Your servant, your servant deserves to die, But those people..."

"Go and have a look..." Yun Qing passed Man'er, ignored her panic, stepped forward, and after going around a few winding corridors, stepped into the imperial garden opposite the lake and looked at her indifferently. The girls who are folding flowers and laughing.

Scanning those young faces with indifferent eyes, Yun Qing's body suddenly became a little stiff. For some reason, there was already an answer in his heart ready to come out.However, she suppressed this feeling of discomfort, and raised her hand to signal the others not to follow, but to go forward by herself.

Man'er was already sweating profusely from anxiety, but he didn't dare to disobey Yun Qing, but privately nudged Gong'e at the side with his mouth.

"Sister, according to what you said, we will never see the emperor for the rest of our lives? Then what are we going to do in the palace? I just received the decree yesterday, and I was conferred the title of Cai Nu. I thought I would be able to serve him soon. I didn't expect it to be like this." A young girl complained softly, with a girl's loss and shyness, and her words were full of innocence and defenselessness.

"For you newcomers, the Master Chief is already kind. If it were the old people in the harem, do you think they can step out of the palace? You are all satisfied. The emperor loved the empress so much that even the famous No beauty in the world can match her, and because she offended the empress, she was demoted to common people and exiled to the common people." A woman with a slightly familiar voice said indifferently, her tone was also full of loss and resentment.

It turned out that these people were beautiful girls who had just entered the palace this year, and had just been canonized the first two times.Yun Qing's eyes sank, she had always known the rules of the imperial palace's three-year general election, when she first entered the palace, it was the time when the queen mother was selecting beautiful girls in the imperial garden, but it was delayed because of her affairs.That year, there was a woman who was favored, she vaguely remembered that it was Liu Yanheng's daughter Liu Meiren, but she was thrown into the cold palace after being favored for only a few days.

The girls suddenly sighed, as if they all lamented the bleak future.Then, a young girl asked cautiously: "Is that so, then we are going to be alone in this harem for the rest of our lives? Really, I have never even seen the appearance of the emperor. Is the empress really that powerful?" How can the concubines in the harem live if they dominate the emperor like this?"

"Isn't that right? I heard that the queen is a shrew long before I entered the palace. Even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dare not say a word, which shows how powerful it is." Another woman also responded, seemingly quite meaningful. thing.

Then, there was another sound of mourning and sighing, but then a young girl looked at the old man in the harem suspiciously, and asked: "By the way, we have all heard that Chang Meiren is the oldest in the harem." , Li Meiren and the others, tell us, sister, did the emperor favor them before the queen entered the palace? We saw that these old people didn't even have any heirs. It was strange. Logically speaking, the emperor had grown up long ago Married..."

When the woman heard this, she immediately tightened her face, frightening the girls so much that they didn't dare to speak, but she said: "I tore your mouths, you can talk nonsense about such things? How can you not favor the emperor's concubine?" What?", but after all, when he saw those girls bowing their heads and looking very frightened, he said again: "Okay, I see that you are new young girls, and you are all innocent, so I will make an exception and tell you, However, this is also a rumor. It is said that in the past, the emperor occasionally visited his concubines, but after being favored, the harem would ask Eunuch Zhao to send cleansing decoctions, but once when he was at Chang Meiren's place, because the government had an urgent matter, She actually forgot about this matter, and a month later, Chang Meiren became pregnant. However, before she could be happy about this matter, she had a miscarriage for some reason. Later, I heard that the emperor did not want an heir. Later, The emperor suddenly favored Yan Meiren, and stopped touching the concubines in the harem, and later, the little queen entered the palace, and the emperor simply did not even touch Yan Meiren, but he still visited her from time to time and pampered her."
