The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 122 Poison Soup
After dinner that day, Rong Yue was sitting idle in the palace alone, Wannai and Xiuyan had disappeared from the palace early in the morning, and there was no one in the huge Yechengqian Palace who could chat with her to spend the day.

Bored, she picked up a copy of "Anecdote Records" and read it.

When she was reading it intently, someone snatched the book from her hand, Rong Yue was startled, she quickly raised her head, and saw that it was Concubine Hui standing in front of her without a sound, holding her book with a smile on her face look at yourself.

"Big sister Hui is going to scare me out of my wits." Rong Yue calmed down a little, hurriedly called Lian Xin to serve tea for Hui, and then happily welcomed Hui to take her seat: "Sister, can I have dinner?"

Concubine Hui nodded, Lian Xin entered in response, and placed two glass and sapphire bowls on the table, although the lids were not opened, Rong Yue could already smell the strong fragrance of milk, so she wondered: "Lian Xin, what did you cook?"

Lian Xin smiled and said nothing, but Concubine Hui rushed to answer: "It's our unique milk soup in Mongolia. Although the royal chef in the palace can also make it, it's not as authentic as ours." Concubine Hui lifted the lid of the bowl, and the milk soup Slowly the heat rose, and the smell of milk became stronger: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I made some food with the palace man. I wanted to eat with my sister and Mrs. Wan, but unfortunately I found out that Mrs. Wan left the palace early in the morning and has not yet returned. .No, this delicious food is cheap for both of us."

Rong Yue was overjoyed, took a sip from the jade bowl, and praised the delicacy: "It's really delicious. Compared with the cooking by the imperial chef, it has a different flavor." She rubbed Juanzi and gently wiped off the milky white corners of her lips, then sighed: "My sister is so delicious! It's just the right time, otherwise I'm going to bore my sister. For some reason today, Wan'er went out with Xiuyan early in the morning, but she hasn't come back yet. And the two of them are very mysterious, and they didn't tell me what they did." She She seemed a little jealous, her eyes drooped slightly and her mouth curled up displeasedly, "When Wan'er comes back, I will definitely talk about her well, and don't ask me to share any good things, I'm really partial."

"Ma Jia is always here?" Concubine Hui pretended to be taken aback, and asked with a pretentious gesture: "She has always been at odds with you two, why now that my younger sister mentions it, she is so intimate by her first name."

Rong Yue said: "I don't know if it's because of a change of temper over the years or something, she apologized to me countless times, until my ears were calloused before I would give up. Although she did a little too much in the past, But now she sincerely admits her mistakes and repents, and they are all my sisters who get along day and night, so how can you not forgive me?" After finishing speaking, she picked up the jade bowl again and took a big sip from the sea.Seeing Concubine Hui smiling straight at her, she said shamelessly, "Sister, don't always look at me, I'm too embarrassed to drink anymore."

Seeing that she was about to put down the jade bowl in her hand, Concubine Hui stopped her and said, "Er Niang taught me how to make this. It's just that I'm a rough benzene. , is the blessing of this milk soup, I see you drinking happily, and my heart is also happy."

Rong Yue said: "The method of making Lingtang's milk soup is very similar to my mother's sweet-scented osmanthus soup."

Concubine Hui continued: "In this way, you and my mother's family can be regarded as hit-and-miss."

Rong Yue smiled, while chatting with Concubine Hui, she drank a bowl in a short time.

And Concubine Hui was not idle, she kept ordering Lian Xin to add fresh soup for her, within half an hour, Rong Yue had already drunk three big bowls.

Seeing that Concubine Hui still wanted to order Lian Xin to add more, Rong Yue touched her round stomach, and quickly waved her hands: "But I can't drink any more, I don't like sweets the most on weekdays, if it wasn't for the flavor of my sister's soup today Excellent, I don't have such a good appetite."

Concubine Hui smiled and didn't force her.

"It's been a long time since I entered the palace, but I've never heard you mention anything about your mother's family." Concubine Hui asked lightly after peeling a sunflower seed and eating it.

"Left is just a trifle of the parents. Ama never mentioned the matter in the mansion in the previous court. I also often stayed by my mother's side and rarely met him."

Concubine Hui said again: "What about your mother, my sister is so virtuous, Madam Tong must be a very gentle woman, right?"

Rong Yue flashed a spring-like smile, nodded and said: "Mother runs the house well, and helps Ama to take care of everything properly, so that she will have no worries in the future. Now that she is in the palace, she rarely sees her mother, but because of The mansion is not far from the Forbidden City, and my mother would always ask someone to add some snacks and embroidery patterns she made for me, in this deep palace, it can be regarded as a kind of consolation and homesickness."

Concubine Hui lowered her eyes secretly, a trace of grief flashed across her delicate face.

That's right, the current prosperity of Tong Jia's clan is not based on the pain of his mother's resignation and his mother's death.

The more radiant Rong Yue's smile in front of her eyes, the more uncontrollable the anger in Concubine Hui's heart.

Rong Yue seemed to notice the difference in her expression, so she asked with concern: "My sister's complexion is not very good, but what's wrong?"

Concubine Hui suddenly came back to her senses, forced a smile and shook her head, "It's just that I'm envious of my sister's mention of family affairs. My mother's home is far away in Horqin, Mongolia. It takes a month's journey to the Forbidden City. After entering the palace, I never saw Ama Erniang again."

Seeing her hurt, Rong Yue felt a little sympathetic in her heart, and comforted her: "Actually, sister doesn't need to be sad, as sister is now favored, it will be a matter of time before she has a child. When the child is born, the emperor will order someone to pick up your mother When you enter the palace, you will be able to reunite with your mother when the time falls, and you will be relieved of your lovesickness."

Rong Yue's words were light, but it was like a heavy punch hitting Pin Hui's heart hard.

Now, how can she look forward to the day when she will be a child, and how can she look forward to the day when her mother enters the palace by order?
Her heart was bitter, but she pursed her lips and smiled: "If his mother is lucky enough to meet her younger sister, she will definitely like her because she is as smart as she is."

Rong Yue responded with a smile: "In this case, it is my sister's blessing."

Lian Xin lifted the curtain and entered, seeing the two chatting happily, Fu Yi said with a blessing: "My lord, the father-in-law who served in front of the imperial court outside the house came to report, saying that the emperor summoned Concubine Hui to go to Qianqing Palace immediately for urgent matters."

Rong Yue held Concubine Hui's hand and said affectionately: "No, I was talking about the emperor, so I called someone to invite my sister. It can be seen that the emperor still values ​​sister in his heart."

Concubine Hui stared at her, and for a moment showed a meaningful sneer: "Little sister, take care, you and my mother are attracted to each other, and my mother naturally likes my sister's temperament. I believe that you two will meet again soon."

Rong Yue nodded and remained silent, and only waited to see Concubine Hui out of the palace before she said to Lian Xin who was serving beside her: "There are so many people in the palace, except for Concubine Wan and Concubine Yi, only Concubine Hui is closer to us. Her mother's family is far away in Mongolia, so even if she misses her family, she has nothing to rely on. You have to remind me of any good things you get in the future, and remember to give Concubine Hui a share, so that she can feel a little bit warmer. Now look, Always poor."

When speaking, Rong Yue only felt a little pain in her lower abdomen, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to cover it.

Lian Xin saw that her complexion was slightly pale, and said anxiously: "What's wrong, my lord?"

"It's nothing, maybe it's because she was greedy and drank too much milk soup from Sister Huipin's milk, so she's a bit upset."
