The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 154
Two elder brothers passed away one after another in the Changchun Palace. With the mourning in mind, Wan Yu seldom walked around the harem for several days, for fear of causing bad luck to others.

Now that the funeral is over and Yuwen is having a happy event again, she has less fear in her heart.

He didn't enter Chengqian Palace for several months, but once he came in, his old appearance changed into a new one.

Rong Yue loves flowers by nature, it's just that because of the Empress's presence, it's always not good for her to dress up colorfully in the palace.

Now that I look like this, I don't need to behave myself and be afraid of other people's eyes. I simply planted a courtyard full of precious flowers, wishing I could move the imperial garden to my palace.

Begonias, winter jasmines, peonies, peonies, magnolias, and spring chrysanthemums blooming everywhere are all excellent products. As soon as you enter the room, you will have a mixed fragrance of flowers and plants.

Xiuyan's lower abdomen was already slightly swollen, she supported her waist with one hand, picked up a magnolia with the other hand and sniffed lightly at the tip of her nose, her face was full of spring breeze.

Seeing that it was Wannai coming, she immediately smiled, walking towards her with Peiyu's support, and even wanted to bend down to salute her.

Wan Yu hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile, "My sister is pregnant, so she just shows off her etiquette to outsiders. Between you and me, it doesn't have to be like this."

Xiuyan smiled leisurely, because she was pregnant, she seemed to be in a very good mood.Wan Lai chatted with her a few words, then walked towards the main hall where Rong Yue lived.

When she came, Rong Yue was lazily leaning on the warm seat embroidering a mandarin duck sachet, Wan Yu took two steps and sat down beside her, and said softly: "My sister is really skillful."

Rong Yue didn't look up at her, she was embroidering the pattern in her hands, and said 'hmm' in her nose before she stopped talking.

Wan Yu's tone was a little disappointed: "Sister, are you still blaming me?"

"If you blame you, you should let others wrong you, and lie for you for nothing." Rong Yue's suffocated breath seemed to pour out suddenly, and she immediately gave a 'puchi' smile.

It was only then that Wan Yu realized that she was pretending to be angry to make fun of herself, and the boulder that had been stuck in her chest for a long time also fell down immediately.

Rong Yue was full of smiles, and suddenly took Wan Yu's hand, and pressed it heavily: "You hide it from me, but you are also thinking for me. Although I feel depressed for a while, I can't understand it, but after a long time, I can understand that you always Kindly. It’s just that since you and I are sisters, there will be other things in the future, I hope you won’t keep it from me, okay?”

Wannai nodded, and from the corner of the eye she saw a pair of white jade embossed flower bracelets, and pretended not to know: "Sister, this pair of jade bracelets is transparent and perfectly complements my sister's complexion. Nice bracelet."

Rong Yue smiled shyly, pulled off the sleeve to cover the jade bracelet, and said lightly: "It was originally given by the emperor when he came to see me. There is only one pair like this in the palace. It is still more carved than the jade bracelet that was presented to the empress in the past. Although small, but the friendship is heavy."

As she spoke, a trace of sadness flashed across her mind: "In the past, I was always troubled by my infertile body, and I didn't want to get close to the emperor anymore. But after all, it was he who had a heart for me and was always persuading me. Later, I gradually I also want to understand that as a woman, it is a pity to have no heirs. Compared with the emperor's favor, this pity can be filled slightly. I always focus on my own death, and ignore the people around me who care about me , it's too stubborn to be so unflattering at both ends."

And those jade bracelets were the pair that the emperor gave to Wanyu that day, and Wanyu persuaded him to give it to Rongyue.

Seeing that Rongyue is now able to get out of her grief, Wanyu is overjoyed.

She stared at Rong Yue, and said with a smile: "It's good that my sister can figure out the meaning of this, and her weakness can be recuperated slowly. My sister is young, and she is blessed by her ancestors, so she will have an heir after all. Look at your palace Now it is full of purple and red, very festive."

Rong Yue smoothed the folds of Shun Tianshui's green brocade robe, sighed quietly, as if the wind was blowing in her ears: "I used to have a lot of scruples, and I didn't dare to stand out too much, for fear of attracting others' attention. But now after going through this I have figured things out, being cautious is always going to be tricked by others, so I might as well live a comfortable life according to my own will." She said, her face darkened and she stared at Wanyu: "You have two aunts in your palace. Brother, the people of Dali Temple have investigated this matter for a long time, but there is no clue, what do you think of this matter?"

Wanyu was silent for a moment, took two bites of the lotus seed cake on the table, and then said slowly: "I asked Yun Shan, and it probably wasn't her idea. She has no child, and she cries every day and wails every night. No matter how ruthless a person is, he can't bear to let his own child get hurt in the slightest."

"Not her?" Rong Yue sneered, the smile gelled on her vermilion lips: "Then there is only the queen."

Wan Yu hastily put her index finger between her lips and gave a 'shh', whispering: "Why should my sister announce the obvious things?"

Seeing that she was cautious, Rong Yue said with a slight smile: "Now her child is the legitimate eldest son of the emperor, and his status can't be more honorable. Why would she care what I say behind my back?"

"My sister seems to hate the queen?"

"That day in Kunning Palace, she found an imperial doctor to find out my pulse. I wondered how she could be so kind? Later, she made public the matter of my infertility under the watchful eyes of everyone. Didn't she just hope that you and I would have a rift between you and me? With deep concern and worry on Rong Yue's face: "You were wronged that day, if I didn't stand up and let her grab you, if you fell down, the person she will deal with in the future will be me .”

Wanyu thought for a moment: "Actually, she didn't need to do so many poisonous things. She is already the queen of the world, and she has her own children. No matter what Chengqing and Chengxiang are, the status of the biological mother is always low, and she can't be more. Let her go. What's more, my eldest sister and I have fallen into poverty, and you have been harmed by Concubine Hui to make it difficult for you to conceive, why is she still facing each other like this?"

Rong Yue sneered, raised her eyebrows and looked at Wan Yu: "What if she took advantage of others for everything she got today? You are a young lady of Niu Hulu's family, so naturally you don't feel the pain of worrying about gains and losses. In the past Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager prefer Concubine Hui to be the empress. If it weren't for the incidents of the previous dynasty, how could this position have fallen into the hands of her Hesheli family? Now that the affairs of the previous court are peaceful, she, the queen, and this family, Having made such great achievements in the previous dynasty, how could he know that the emperor would not be as afraid of Oboi as he used to be, and the Hesheli clan who are becoming more and more powerful? A big tree attracts wind, and it will always lead to trouble."

"Sister, what do you mean, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager always think that the throne will fall in the hands of the Mongolian concubines so that they can feel at ease?"

"That is the obsession of their Horqin girls, and it is also an honor. Who doesn't want this honor to last forever?" Rong Yue took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Look at how the queen treats the queen mothers of the two palaces all day long." As filial piety, aren't they treating her lightly?"

Wan Yu nodded slightly, held Rong Yue's thin and boneless fingers, shook her head in disdain, and said with a smile: "No matter how she plans, if she makes too many mistakes, she will always show her feet. You and my sisters support each other. Snuggling side by side in the palace, isn't this heart-warming friendship much more beautiful than the cold back seat?"

Rong Yue held Wan Lai's hand instead, and nodded heavily in response.

The sun is lazy, and the gentle wind blows the fragrance of flowers into the hall. The tassels hanging from Rongyue's hairpin, and the oriental beads worn by Wanyu's earrings sway with the wind, making a ringing sound.

The days are as pleasant as a picture scroll, and go on peacefully and peacefully.
