The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 269

The matter of this day was brought to the ears of the emperor through Empress Dowager Renxian, and after finishing the court affairs at night, the emperor hurried to Chengqian Palace to visit Rong Yue.

When she came, Rong Yue was lazily sitting on the warm seat, only Lian Xin was serving by her side, rolling a peeled egg on Rong Yue's red and swollen face in her hand.

Seeing that it was the emperor coming, Rong Yue panicked, and when she bent down to pay her respects, she still didn't forget to cover her slapped cheek with her sleeve.

The emperor felt distressed for a while, he stepped forward to help her up and said: "I have been wronged like this, and I don't see you talking to me."

Rong Yue's voice was almost inaudible: "The concubine is fine, and the emperor is concerned about it."

The emperor gently took her hand that covered her cheek, and put the other hand on her cheek with a bit of distress, and said: "The bitch is getting more and more immodest. I will punish him severely tomorrow!"

Rong Yue lowered her eyelids and stared at the dragon pattern on the emperor's coat, and said calmly: "The empress dowager has already been punished, Mrs. Luo has always been outspoken, and she is very annoyed at the moment when she thinks about it, the emperor should not get angry with her." gone."

The emperor's eyes were full of tenderness, and he sighed: "You are a very gentle and gentle person. I have never seen you get angry when anything happens. Such benevolence is enough to set an example for the Six Palaces."

The corners of Rong Yue's mouth turned up, revealing a peaceful smile, and shyly said: "The emperor's praise, the concubines only care about the peace of the harem, and the sisters live in harmony. In this way, the emperor can feel at ease in the previous court."

The emperor embraced Rong Yue in his arms, and laughed loudly.

However, it was night, but the emperor did not stay in Chengqian Palace as Rong Yue thought.As long as she was with her until three o'clock in Xushi, she said that Qianqing Palace still had government affairs, and left in a huff.

Lian Xin took out new ice and wrapped it in cotton cloth, carefully applied it on Rong Yue's cheeks, and said slightly proudly: "Madam, this is a phrase used to describe the empress. The emperor said that to you, it is really special to you .”

Rong Yue lowered her head and fiddled with the gilded emerald armor, and said with a sneer: "He said this to Ben Gong today, and he went to Concubine Yi tomorrow, I am afraid that the tone of his words will not change, and he will give it to her as a gift." Go. Haven't I seen the emperor's temperament before?"

Lian Xin murmured thoughtfully, and hurriedly said: "Never mind him, thinking of how pitiful Luo Gui was in the daytime, this slave girl feels happy. If the empress puts on airs early in the morning, who in this palace would dare Bullying on your head?"

About a quarter of an hour later, Lian Xin was about to wait for Rong Yue to take a rest, but Que Zhen came to report from outside the hall, saying that the emperor left Chengqian Palace and entered Changchun Palace to rest.

Rong Yue only smiled and said that when she knew it, she ordered Que Zhen to back down, but Lian Xin snorted, and said in disbelief: "I don't know what kind of coquettish trick Wanbi used, the empress is so favored now, and she is only equal to her."

Rong Yue tightened the quilt tightly, closed her eyes and said calmly: "Wan'er has a clever tongue and can always make the emperor happy, so the emperor naturally likes to talk to her. There is such a big commotion in the previous court today, the emperor will naturally go to find her Tell me about your pain."

"Your Majesty is saying." Lian Xin hesitated for a moment, before saying: "Because of the huge military supplies and the people's strength, the Emperor is focusing on the war of the previous dynasty and stopped the construction of Empress Renxiao's mausoleum?"

Rong Yue nodded silently, and Lian Xin sneered again: "This man didn't see how much the emperor loved him in his life, but he went to Gonghua City to commemorate him every month after his death. It seemed quite affectionate and touching."

"Many things don't know the value until they are lost." Rong Yue turned her side slightly, ordered Lian Xin to put out all the lamps and candles in the hall, and fell into the pillow with a humorous smile.

When the emperor entered the Changchun Palace, Wanyu was already lying on the couch, and Li Yin outside the hall announced the emperor's arrival in a shrill voice, which surprised her a bit.So she hurriedly put on a light green shirt and went to bed, before she reached the main hall, the emperor had already opened the curtain of the bedroom and bumped into her.

Wan Lai saw that the emperor's handsome face was a bit worried, and her eyes, which were originally full of wisdom, suddenly dimmed.

After blessing the ceremony, she entered the warm seat in front of the emperor, and asked with concern: "Does the emperor have something on his mind?"

The emperor fixed his eyes on Wanyu, and after a long while, he sighed coldly and said: "You should have heard about the matter of the previous dynasty. The war is tight and the treasury is empty. Put it on hold. In this case, Shuyu must have resentment against me."

Wanlu held the emperor's cold fingers, shook her head and said slowly: "Empress Renxiao thought about everything for the emperor in her lifetime, she knows the reason for this matter, so naturally she will not hold grudges against the emperor."

The emperor leaned on the warm seat, sighed for a long time, seemed to have infinite grief, and even his eyes were slightly red: "But I, after all, I can't forgive her! The day before yesterday, she was sacrificed in Gonghua City. Although the coffin was surrounded by ice, Then, the very strong smell of Anhua incense was also burning in the hall, but I could clearly smell a rotten stench. The smell clearly came from inside the coffin, and I knew that I didn't save her face after death!"

Hearing this, Wan Lai's body trembled slightly, and there was an instinctive nausea in her chest.

She gritted her teeth, trying to calm down her emotions.In fact, it has been nearly two years since the queen passed away, and people are not immortals reborn by Bodhisattvas. How can a mortal body be incorruptible?This is still before the burial, and the body was kept iced all day long, and full mercury was added to the coffin, so that it has survived to this day.If he was buried in the ground immediately on the day of his death, there may be only one bone left at this time, how can the emperor still cherish his memory?
Wannai had no choice but to get up and half embrace the emperor, whispering comforting words in his ear: "Empress Renxiao is in the spirit of heaven, and she will definitely protect you and the prince. Before the empress died, her only wish was for the emperor to treat you and his son-in-law well. Now the emperor Now that Baocheng has been given the most precious thing in this world, how can the empress not rest in peace? Maybe she has already been reincarnated safely, and she has become a babbling little girl."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and hugged Wanyu tightly with his backhand: "Wan'er, every time I feel depressed and uncomfortable, only you can soothe my heart. I always think that you are like the treasure that God pointed to me, almost All the good things in this world are taken by you. It is precisely because of this that I worry about gains and losses. I am so lonely on this high and majestic throne. I want you to be with me all the time. With you here, I am so lonely. It’s so warm in my heart.”

With a charming smile, she patted the emperor's chest lightly, lowered her head shyly and said: "The emperor is used to making concubines happy, what you said seems to be displeased with Elder Sister and Elder Sister Rong Yue."

The emperor and Wanyu looked at each other, and raised a warm smile on their tired faces: "You are different from them. Concubine Yi is capable and courageous, with a gentle and considerate appearance, but in the final analysis, only you and I know each other and comfort each other, and I value it more." This kind of camaraderie."

Wan Yu looked into the emperor's deep eyes, and could not read the slightest hint of hypocrisy from his firm expression.

So the person became more shy, just buried his head in the emperor's arms, and didn't say a word.
