The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 403 Baifu Ling

On that day, the concubine Yi, Roujia, surrendered to Wanyu and was rejected, as expected, she turned around and went to Chengqian Palace, seeking Rong Yue's protection.

After a few days of greetings in the palace, Rou Jia and Luo Fu's words were always ironic to Wan Yu and Lin Lan, and Rong Yue just smiled and said nothing, letting them keep their mouths together.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the two of them have become Rong Yue's caring people.

When it comes to doting, Rong Yue is no match for Wan Yan.

But when it comes to hypocrisy, Rong Yue is even better.

I don't know what method she used to make the emperor treat Luo Fu and Rou Jia again. For seven consecutive days, the emperor only stayed in Changchun Palace for one night, and the rest of the time, he announced Rou Jia or Luo Fu. Serve the bed and dry the Qing Palace.

He privately ordered Li Yin to inquire about it, only to find out that Rou Jia and Luo Fu had learned strange skills from nowhere:

One person can do the Frostfall Dance of the Western Regions, and the graceful figure of the dance is as graceful as the flying frost sprinkled in the air;
One person can sing Jin's Birds and listen to them, the sound is as clear and crisp as the birds are singing in the ears.

Although the two of them are not good at learning skills, but the skills of this foreign race are rare in the capital, so it naturally aroused the emperor's interest.

Wan Yu was not afraid when she heard this, instead she smiled brightly, shook her head and said, "So it's such a favor, but I don't know if it's a person who favors a person, or if it's a lack of talent."

Just joking, Shuang Ruo came to report outside the house, saying that concubine Hui Yuwen came to see him.

Wannai hurriedly ordered people to invite him in, Yuwen saw that Wanya was as close as before, held his hand after blessing the gift and said, "It's been a while since I came to the empress's palace."

Wan Yu ordered her to sit down, and said meaninglessly: "Everyone in the palace sees that the noble concubine is not at peace with me, and it is common for Yinti to be raised with the noble concubine, and my elder sister to be distant from me."

Yuwen shook her head helplessly and sighed: "It turns out that I, the mother-in-law, can't teach the child well. In two days after my birthday, I will be a nine-year-old child. I think we all entered the palace to serve at the age of thirteen or fourteen. The emperor, at his current age, he still follows the concubine every day and calls her mother, even if he sees me, he always stays away, so what can I do?"

"At the end of the year, the emperor specially ordered the renovation of the Fengci Hall between Zhai Palace and Fengxian Hall on the east side of the Forbidden City, and changed it to Yuqing Palace① as the Prince's East Palace to show his favor. In the final analysis of this matter, Yinti's heart I also care."

Wan Lai was sitting upright, sweeping the folds of the cloak lightly with one hand, and said slowly: "To tell you the truth, the concubine used to be able to teach the elder brother a little bit, but now it is" she said, deliberately lowering her voice, The face is hidden: "It's also the words of the palace people who are listening. The imperial concubine often mentions to the elder brother that if his birth mother's status is not low, he should be the current crown prince. My sister said that someone like Yinti At this age, when you are most innocent and jealous, how can you still be willing to get close to your sister after hearing such words?"

Hearing this, Yuwen looked sad and wanted to cry: "How come I haven't heard of the gossip you said? It's just..." For a moment, she couldn't help crying.

So she wiped her tears with silk and shook her head again and again: "But what can I do? The imperial concubine has such a powerful mother's family and is valued by the emperor. She always looks harmless in front of the emperor. This matter Tell me, how can the emperor believe it? If I had known this, I would rather have raised the child under the knees of Empress Xiaozhao in the past, or I would be extremely happy when the child was raised under the knees of Empress Xiaozhao. We are mothers, It’s not my own selfishness to seek something, it’s good to be able to see the child often, but if you can’t see it, you always hope that the child will grow up safely, and you must not miss the wrong thoughts.”

Seeing her crying sadly, Wannai didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she let her vent her grievances. Not long after, Yuwen stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile: "Let the empress see the joke It's over." After saying that, she took out a very delicate pure gold bell inlaid with warm jade from her sleeve, and it was ringing in her palm, it was really strange.

Wanyu was watching intently, and Yuwen pressed the bell heavily on her palm: "Thinking that the birthdays of Yinti and Yinti are only six days apart, he doesn't have the good fortune to be raised by his mother, but my younger brother does." A man of great fortune. So the concubine always thought about giving him a gift for his first birthday, after much deliberation, this 'Bai Fu Ling' was the only one he could offer."

"Baifuling?" Wanyu held it in her hand, looked at it for a long while, and hurriedly said: "This is a tribute from the Western Regions, and it is the only one in the palace. It was rewarded by the emperor because of the great service made by my sister's cousin, Mingzhu." .Master Mingzhu gave this item to my sister, how can my sister accept it?"

Yuwen joked: "This was originally a congratulatory gift for Yinti's birthday, if you want to evade it, you have to evade it yourself, why did your empress refuse it for him?"

Wanyu laughed and said, "Yinyu has not yet reached the age of babbling, and even yelling at Huang Ama is stumbling, how can she refuse her sister's kindness?"

Yuwen accepted the bell, thought for a while, starlight flashed in his eyes, and said happily: "If I don't wear this bell for Yinyu myself, if he is happy, he will naturally laugh and laugh. If not, he will always cry. I'll just take it back."

Thinking of Yuwen's kindness, it may be due to the fact that she was Yinyutang's aunt.

She and Nala Junruo were originally distant sisters, and now they live in the same palace, and as the lord of the first palace, she naturally has to take care of her younger sister's children.

Thinking of this, Wanyu couldn't shirk too much, so she went to Yinyu's bedroom with Yuwen.

When Yinti came, she was sleeping, Wannai and Yuwen went to the imperial couch, and seeing Yinti sleeping soundly, she said, "I haven't seen you in a few months, the child has grown so big."

"Is there?" Wanyu smiled and said softly: "I stay by his side every day, but I don't realize it."

Yuwen tiptoedly put the bell around Yinti's neck. Children's sleep is light, and even the lightest movement can easily wake them up.

Yinyu opened his round eyelids dimly, Fang opened his mouth wide to cry, but the moment his eyes met Yuwen's, he let out a giggle.

Seeing this, Wan Lai and the wet nurse said that the child always recognizes the blood relationship, and when they saw the cousin, they just smiled.

Yuwen frowned slightly, there was a moment of hurt on her face, she was silent for a while, her whole body shuddered, she turned around and asked with a smile: "But the Ling window is not closed tightly, I always feel gloomy, rejuvenated The sky is always cold, don't freeze the child."

Wannai and the wet nurse turned around and looked around when they heard the words, but when they saw the Ling window closed tightly, they were a little puzzled and said: "Is sister cold? The Ling window is closed, and I don't feel the wind."

Yuwen's face was a bit cramped, and he replied repeatedly: "Perhaps last winter, there was no snow water, and he suffered from a few colds and his body was weak and cold, so it's not a problem."

In the imperial couch, Yinti was poking her small mouth, still giggling.

His laughter is so pure, as melodious as silk and bamboo, and the clear spring of the mountain stream, it will warm Wan Lai's heart in no time.
