The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 620 Rolling Stones
On the next day and night, the emperor hosted a banquet in Qianqing Palace to honor the soldiers who made meritorious service in the battle of Ubullantong, and concubines Xu and above were present at the table.

Because Wan Yu deliberately avoids Shen Ye, she claims to be sick and absent.Zhuo Lan reported to the emperor that she was unwell during pregnancy and asked to recuperate in the palace.

Ever since Yinreng received the reprimand and returned to the palace, he has been in a depressed mood, and the emperor has been back to the court for a long time, and he has been summoned to see him again.

When frustrated, fortunately, Yuanyuan was by his side. As the saying goes, true friendship is found in adversity, and the company around the clock makes the two people's relationship warm up quickly. Yinfeng feels uncomfortable when he doesn't see Yuanyuan for a day.

Every time Yuanyuan returned to Yongshou Palace, it was very late. Due to the banquet, the harem seemed empty and deserted. After Yuanyuan returned to the palace, she saw Zhuo Lan pinching her waist and being supported by two maidservants in the courtyard. Strolling inside, she went forward to choose two maidservants, and the only one was by her side.

Zhuo Lan glanced at her face, saw that the smile on her face was full of red, she felt her heart tightened, and said sternly: "You have to remember why you are close to the prince, if you fall headlong into the gentle village, you will let down your father's treatment of you." The grace of nurturing."

Yuanyuan was startled suddenly, and hurriedly straightened her face and said: "My lady said such words will hurt my servant's heart. This servant is all for my lady, so why would I have any other thoughts? This servant smiles because she thinks of the prince and thinks she is stupid and ridiculous. That's all. Miss, do you know what he said to the servant today?"

Zhuo Lan said disapprovingly: "What can he say to you? Zuo is just some sour love talk, I don't hesitate to listen to it."

Yuanyuan smiled quite complacently: "When the emperor doesn't anger him so much, he will ask the emperor for grace and marry the slave."

Zhuo Lan froze on the spot, her eyes moving up and down like flames in the dark night, scanning Yuanyuan: "Is he crazy or are you crazy? What is your status now, do you believe such nonsense?"

"Let him speak, and the servant listened. He was the one who brought up the matter with the emperor. What are the servants worried about? As the young lady said, as long as you catch a man's heart, treat him as if you want to get him. Even a shrewd man can't pass the beauty test."

After saying this, Yuanyuan seemed to have remembered something, hurriedly stamped her feet and said anxiously: "A few days ago, Miss ordered to find a father-in-law who was going to Hangzhou to send a court gift to help find out what's going on in Hangzhou. One of the inner eunuchs handed this letter to the servant, and the servant almost forgot about it."

She took out the letter from her bosom and handed it to Zhuo Lan: "I have seen it, I have an appointment with my mother to meet at the rockery behind Yongshou Palace at three o'clock in the morning."

After reading the letter, Zhuo Lan raised her eyebrows suspiciously and said, "Three quarters in Xushi? Why is it so secretive, but it arouses suspicion."

Yuanyuan smiled and said: "Miss, forgot? The emperor's banquet today is at Xushi, and the father-in-law chose this time to meet with the empress, and the slaves and servants watched it to avoid others' eyes and ears."

Zhuo Lan threw the letter paper into the palace lantern, watched it burn out, and said: "The time is coming, go and have a look."

Zhuo Lan and Yuanyuan strolled out, only telling the palace people that they were taking a walk near Yongshou Palace.

Because of the imperial doctor's instructions, she walked around at this hour almost every day to stabilize the pregnancy, so as to help the childbirth go smoothly in the future, so it did not arouse the suspicion of Wanyu's placement in the Yongshou Palace.

When the two masters and servants rushed all the way to the rockery, they couldn't see half of them.

Zhuo Lanhou felt a little impatient for a while, and then said: "It is said that the people in the Forbidden City are the most disciplined, but I think it is exaggerating."

Yuanyuan joked: "The eunuchs in the palace are all rootless things, dirty and filthy, what is the miss doing with them? If you don't like him, just get rid of him afterwards."

While talking, Zhuo Lan's cochlea moved lightly, as if she heard something, she immediately became vigilant, made a silent gesture and said to Yuanyuan: "Listen, what's ringing?"

Yuanyuan held her breath and turned her ears, and she really heard the thunderous rumbling sound.

She turned her head abruptly, and saw rocks rolling down from the rockery, hitting Zhuo Lan.

She didn't have time to shout out, the boulder was about to hit Zhuo Lan's back.

But at this moment, a black shadow leaped out from between the lightning and flint, grabbed Zhuo Lan's waist and spun three times to avoid the rolling stone, then fell down on the body as a cushion, allowing Zhuo Lan to fall on top of him.

This fall frightened Yuanyuan, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhuo Lan up, and asked with concern: "Miss, are you alright?"

Zhuo Lan stood firm and calmed down a bit, shook her head at Yuanyuan, then looked at the person who had rushed out to help her just now, raised her eyebrows and said in praise: "Good skill!"

The black shadow brushed off the dust, and after looking at the lantern in Yuanyuan's hand, it was clear that the person who came was Shen Ye!
Zhuo Lan has not seen Shen Ye face to face for a long time in the palace.How could she know that when they met for the first time, she was so surprised that she blurted out, "Nian Lang?"

Shen Ye didn't understand what he meant, so he bowed to Zhuo Lan, and said respectfully, "Which young master of the harem is it? My humble minister, Shen Ye."

"Shen Ye?" Zhuo Lan thought about it for a moment, then widened her eyes and said, "But the emperor's new general? The hero who figured out an ingenious way to fight against Galdan in the battle of Ubrantong?"

Shen Ye bowed even deeper: "The little master is absurd, and the humble minister is ashamed."

Zhuo Lan looked at Shen Ye carefully, with tall and straight roots, sharp jaws, and a pair of sword eyebrows and star eyes as clear as the pearls of Yaoye.However, all of these, reflected in the bottom of my heart from the eyes, are so familiar.

He had just rescued her, but the momentary skin-to-skin contact made her fall into Shen Ye's firm chest, and he couldn't help but look sideways at the man in front of him.

Her cheeks were slightly hot, she stumbled a little and said: "Your Excellency, don't be rude, you saved me, I don't know how to thank you yet."

Shen Ye gave her a warm smile: "But Madam Jia?"

Zhuo Lan wondered: "Your Excellency, do you know Ben Gong?"

Shen Ye said: "Today, the emperor held a banquet in Qianqing Palace to entertain the soldiers, and all concubines and concubines in the harem were present at the table. Except for the concubines and concubines who are ill in the future, only the pregnant concubines and concubines can give birth in the palace. Just now, my minister heard that the lady claimed to be my palace, so I guessed so." After saying that, he bowed respectfully again: "My minister, Shen Ye, has seen the concubine's wife."

Zhuo Lan looked at Shen Ye approvingly, and hurriedly told him to be polite: "Your Excellency is going to be out of touch like this. It's just a banquet today. Your Excellency is regarded as the minister who has made the most contributions in this battle, why did you come here?"

"Emperor Galdan was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, and drank two more glasses. Eunuch Liang and Eunuch Li watched from the side, thinking that in the harem, the concubine Jia and the imperial concubine are the most sacred to the emperor, and the imperial concubine is ill. It is not suitable to face the saint, so I asked my ministers to look for the concubine Jia. If the concubine is healthy, it is convenient to move to Qianqing Palace to persuade the emperor. It is always bad to be drunk and hurt the body."

After hearing this, Zhuo Lan nodded and replied: "That's natural." Then she turned her head and glanced at the top of the rockery, clutching her chest and said: "It was so dangerous just now, if there is no lord, I will have nothing to do with the dragon fetus in my womb. to keep it safe."

Shen Ye frowned slightly and said: "This matter will be reported to Eunuch Liang, and I will ask the eunuch from the House of Internal Affairs to come and have a look as soon as possible. This rockery is loose, looking at the broken stones on the ground, it seems that the rolling stones did not happen One or two. If it is not repaired as soon as possible, it will not be good to hurt people in the future."
