The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 452
Wanyu thought for a moment, then stared at Linlan.After a while, she parted her thin lips slightly, and asked tentatively, "Could it be Tong's?"

Lin Lan nodded, and said with a sneer, "The victory or defeat of the previous war was based on one action, and the money saved went into her father Tong Guowei's pocket."

Wan Yu murmured: "How can this be done? Even if the emperor is not around, wouldn't the empress dowager just ask?"

"This is the really scary place." With a sneering smile on her lips, Lin Lan tapped her fingertips and said, "The Empress Dowager accepted her, and the concubines in the harem were amazed. Sister thought about it, the emperor himself It's a filial son who takes serving the Empress Dowager as the top priority. Now the Empress Dowager doesn't even ask about it. How can the Emperor care about it? Besides, we said in private that she is using power and cheating to help her mother's family, but after all, she is a famous teacher. How do you know that Tong Guowei's ten thousand taels of snowflakes and silver were not used in the war? Because of this, most of the concubines in the harem gradually saw the power of Rong Yue, and they all surrendered to her knees. I see, now except for Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and Concubine Hui I have become her running dog."

Wanyu smiled in a trance, her bright eyes were full of infinite coolness, she shook Linlan's hand, and said in a steady voice: "We should be happy if the imperial concubine is like this."

Lin Lan frowned, and said suspiciously: "Happy? With the current situation, how can we have a good life? How can we be happy?"

Wanyu took the teacup on the table, took a mouthful of Qiyun melon slices that were still warm, and said leisurely, "Just watch."

Wan Lai is so calm and relaxed, but because the tree is so big that it attracts the wind, she should cut off a sentence because of the big tail.

Just as the emperor was afraid of Oboi and Ye Bilong in the past, he was afraid of himself and Yide.

Now that Rong Yue is recruiting corporals in the harem, and Tong's family is expanding their power in the previous dynasty, such things are like a dike of thousands of miles destroyed by an ant's nest.And this ant nest is the empress dowager's forbearance.

She is an old woman who has experienced several dynasties, how can she not see Rong Yue's thoughts?Don't blame her, it's just not the time yet.

But at this time, one has to contribute to the flames to arrive ahead of schedule.

"These days when I left the palace, who is close to the noble concubine?"

Yun Chan thought for a while, then counted with her fingers: "Concubine Yi, Concubine Xi, Lady Luo, Yu Ying, Liang Ying, Xue Ying, and more."

"Xue promised?" Wan Yu had never heard of this person's name, so she asked: "Who is Xue promised?"

Shuang Ruo replied: "Xue Pingying, the concubine daughter of Xue Qi, the last official of the Ministry of Rites, is the most valued person by the emperor among the young masters who entered the palace to serve last year. She hangs around in front of the noble concubine every day, rubbing her shoulders and legs, very attentive."

"Minister of the Ministry of Rites, that's not difficult." Wanyu smiled calmly: "Go and send a message to Wu Lu, asking him to think of a way to threaten Xue Qi, so that her daughter will often come to sit in the palace."

Two days later, Shuangruo came to report that Xue Pingying was already waiting outside the palace to see her, Wannai nodded and ordered someone to bring her in, and then ordered Yunchan to pass on the news of Xue Pingying's coming to her palace to Chengqian Palace.

When Xue Pingying entered, Wan Lai sized her up for a long time.

Life is upright, not outstanding nor ugly.It's rare to find Shu brocade that's just covered in water.Now that Rong Yue is frugal, she dresses like this next to Rong Yue, she thinks she has won Rong Yue a lot.

Xue Pingying respectfully blessed her, seeing Wanyu kindly giving her a seat, she hastily smiled and said: "Everyone says Concubine Wan is the kindest lady, concubines feel close to her when they look at her."

Hearing these words, Wan Lai suddenly knew in her heart that standing in front of her was a duplicitous villain.

So he didn't expose her, and nodded falsely with a smile: "Xue promises to go with Bengong. Your father Xue Qi is an official under the hand of Wu Lu, my relative. You have to promote him well, don’t you?”

Xue Pingying couldn't hide the joy on her face, and she said repeatedly: "My concubine is like this, but I want my concubine to feel sorry. Thinking that my concubine has been serving in the palace for a long time, I don't often come to sit in my concubine's palace. It is really a concubine's fault." Negligence. If the empress is not to blame, the concubine will come to the empress's palace regularly in the future to accompany the empress."

Hearing that her words were rather flattering, Wanyu smiled and said, "My sister has a heart, how can I please you?" She shook her head and smiled bitterly, and sighed: "It's just that I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes. You see that this Changchun Palace is really deserted, how can it compare to the bustle of the Imperial Concubine's Palace?"

Although Xue Pingying is not a smart person, but looking at Wanya's expression and tone, she can understand some implication.

She followed Rong Yue, no matter what she did, even if she served diligently, she had only changed into some luxurious clothes for a long time, so what was outside her body?

But looking at Lin Lan, she was born as a mere servant girl, and she was diligent every day by Wan Yu's side, but she has already become the lord of the first palace. Such a blessing, she couldn't even hope for.

Now that she has not made friends with Wanyu, she already has the intention of promoting her Ama.

If she serves by Wan Yu's side with the same thought of serving Rong Yue, and then becomes a concubine and concubine in the future, wouldn't it be just around the corner?
Besides, there are countless people around Rong Yue who are flattering and flattering. Even if she wants to promote herself, she still doesn't know that she will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Since Wan Lai threw out an olive branch to herself, there was no reason for herself not to accept it.

She straightened up, bowed down to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "If your lady feels deserted, it is also a concubine's duty to accompany a concubine every day. The concubine feels comfortable talking to the lady, which shows that she is in the right place." As the empress said, the concubine and the empress are people who hit it off, if the empress doesn't dislike it, how about concubines serving the empress's palace from now on?"

Wan Yu secretly sighed a fool from the bottom of her heart, but said with a warm smile on her face: "Oh, what are you doing? Get up quickly." She stood up and gave Xue Pingying a hand.

Has Rong Yue ever done such a move?

Xue Pingying suddenly felt that she was smashed on the head by the auspiciousness of the sky, and for the rest of her life, she had hope.

"In the past, I heard a lot of gossip and rumors, and I thought that the empress was not a good person to get along with. Now it seems that the rumors in the palace really have nothing to do with the truth."

Wan Yu was slightly surprised: "Oh? What kind of rumors?"

Xue Pingying hurriedly woke up and realized that she had said something wrong, so she changed her words and said, "My concubine made a mistake, and I hope my mother will punish me."

Wan Yu smiled and said: "It's just gossip, why should you be punished? When you first entered the palace, you don't know who you made friends with before. Life is so rigid and difficult."

Speaking of Xue Pingying's sad place, serving by Rong Yue's side, not to mention being often ordered by her, and being angry with concubines such as Yi Concubine and Luo Gui in front of Rong Yue, how can I not hold resentment in my heart ?

So his complexion sank slightly, and he immediately said in a crying voice: "Maybe you can ask my concubine a word. I thought that there is no one in this palace to complain about my suffering."

Wan Yu smiled, with a harmless look on her face: "Don't be sad, if you feel wronged, you can tell me, and I can explain it to you, right?"
