Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 101 Snow Man (2)

This frightened Lan Xiang to knelt down and kowtowed: "Master Mingjian, this servant has never thought of wrongdoing. Being able to serve you by my master's side is already a blessing that I have cultivated for several generations. How dare I have it?" For other ideas, I don’t dare to borrow the courage of the servant, otherwise the servant will suffer a terrible death!” After talking about it, she even swore an oath, it seems that she is very afraid of Rixi.

Lan Xiang's performance satisfied Rixi, and waved her to get up: "Okay, I'm just talking casually, if you don't move, you will die, it's bad luck."

Hearing that the master believed her, Lan Xiang was relieved, thanked her again and again before she dared to stand up, and stood with her hands down, her face turned pale in a few words.

Rixi tried to warn Lan Xiang like a joke, and then turned her mind back to what Li Quan said just now. She took the pearl hairpin she took off and tapped it lightly on her hand. After a while of silence, she said: "In this way, this Zipei can be used. Since she doesn't like the status of this maid, let's try to make her the master!" Game played.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Quan and Lan Xiang understood the meaning of her words, and respectfully said: "Master's plan!"

Rixi raised his hand and threw the pearl hairpin into the jewelry box, clapped his hands and said: "This trick also depends on the east wind to blow, you have done a good job on this matter, keep watching, the best thing is to get her." Trust me!" She never hesitated to praise her competent subordinates.

"Thank you, master! This slave will do my best to do it well for my master!" Li Quanjin said.

"By the way, did Concubine Rong make any changes?" Ri Xi suddenly remembered this incident.

"Back to the master, the slave has been paying attention for the past two days. There is nothing wrong with Concubine Rong. It seems that her doubts about the master have been dispelled!"

"Don't get complacent too early, keep paying attention to me, if there is nothing else to report, you can go down, and also, when you come back in the future, you must be careful not to reveal your whereabouts!" Ri Xi instructed.

"Yes!" Li Quan replied, he was terrified of what happened just now, if someone found out, the master would be furious!After Chao Ri Xi knelt down, he plunged into the darkness again. It seemed that every time Li Quan came, he appeared and disappeared in this deep night, while Ri Xi kept switching between day and night. I don’t know if it will be One day she even forgot what she was like?

In the evening of the next day, Fulin didn't call Xing Qingru, nor anyone else, but went to see Concubine Ning, and didn't call Xing Qingru for the next few days, those who were jealous of Qingru's favor began to take pleasure Wake up, in their eyes, this concubine Wan is nothing more than that, she changed to someone else in just two nights, and some people are even guessing when she will fall out of favor.

However, only Qingru knew that Fulin would come to her palace in the dead of night, hug her and sleep with her forever, and then leave before dawn. There is nothing to say, I only hope that this tenderness will never disappear in each other's hearts.

Fulin would do this because he gradually realized that favor is all it takes, and that the harem should not be crowned alone. Although this awareness is still very weak to him, it is better than him who used to favor whoever he likes. He said that he has made great progress, although it was just a secret luck, but it was still recorded in the book, otherwise, if he was pregnant, he would not be able to explain the origin of the child.

It was not until the tenth day that Fulin began to call other concubines. First of all, Concubine Zhengui, she was the younger sister of the former empress. It was Rixi, and other people were lucky enough to be there, but after all, they were not as good as Qingru, Zhengui, and Rixi.

Spring is in full bloom, but it has already seen its waning phase, and it will be replaced by the peak. It is almost summer. This day is April 23, which is exactly six days after Suo'etu got married. Someone came early in the morning It was reported in the Chonghua Palace that the emperor had allowed Suo'etu and his wife to visit the palace, and allowed him to finish his lunch in the palace before leaving.

From the moment she received the news, Qingru didn't stop, she tiptoed to look outside from time to time, and then turned around to ask everyone if their clothes were neatly dressed, and if the beads on their hair were crooked, she was extremely nervous .

Zijin straightened the accessories on her skirt for her, and said with a sneer: "Miss, why are you so nervous, when I saw the second young master a few days ago, I didn't see you so nervous!"

Mian Yi was coming in with a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus dew, and when she heard Zijin's words, she also said, "That's right, master, don't look at it, the second young master and the others didn't come so early, I heard that they will go to the queen mother after paying homage to the emperor. Say hello to the queen, and then I can come over!" She also followed Zijin and called him the second young master Suo'etu.

Qingru tapped Zijin's head lightly, took the sweet-scented osmanthus dew that Mianyi handed over, but didn't feel like drinking it: "You two stinky girls are getting more and more courageous, and dare to talk about me, this time It's different from last time. The last time there was only one elder brother, but this time there were two people. I have heard the name of this sister-in-law for a long time, but I have never seen her before. I don't know what kind of person she is, but I can make my elder brother fall in love with her It must be an unusual woman!" Although she didn't say it, it was always a pity in her heart that she couldn't attend her brother's wedding in person.

After hearing this, Mian Yi asked curiously, "Master, is this new lady really that powerful?"

This time it was not Qingru but Xiangyuan who answered her. She came in with a new tablecloth and said with a smile: "You guys are not doing your job well. Why are you always pestering the master to inquire about things? When the new lady comes later, you two Don’t you know, come quickly and help me spread this tablecloth, and then wipe everything here again!”

Zijin and Mianyi responded briskly, and each started to work, after the tablecloth was spread, Xiangyuan said to Qingru: "Master, would you like to take a look at the congratulatory gifts for the second young master and the new wife? "

"Alright!" Qing Ru agreed and turned to the small pavilion next to her. There were presents that she had prepared for a few days ago. Although she knew that her brother did not lack these, it was all her wish.

Two thousand-year-old wild ginseng, one catty of cordyceps sinensis, one Wutao red flower mat, one pair of coral trees three feet seven inches high, one pair of crystal pillows, two pairs of wishful jade carved from whole jade, ten luminous pearls the size of a thumb, Twenty strings of agate necklaces, seven pieces of second-grade brocade, 76 pieces of various jade dishes and bowls, and other pearl hairpins, cosmetics, etc. for women are all excellent products.

"Xiangyuan, do you think this is enough? Do you want to add some more? Why don't you take all the things that the emperor rewarded you a few days ago?" Qingru was a little out of ideas, she wished she could bring everything back to her brother. Of course, she entrusted her elder brother to bring those medicinal materials to Ama and Erniang, so that they could nourish their bodies, which was considered a little bit of filial piety by her.

Xiangyuan supported Qingru's hand and said: "Mother, these things alone are enough for the second young master and the others, so don't add more. If you think about it this way, you may have to give up all the things in Chonghua Palace." The second young master should take it back!"

Clearly smiled, didn't you, I was really overjoyed: "Okay, don't look at this anymore, then you can go to the imperial dining room with me to have a look, and let them prepare a few more dishes, so that my brother, sister-in-law and I can eat together." Enjoy it."

"The slaves and maidservants can just do these things, there's no need for the empress to go in person!" Xiangyuan hurriedly replied.

Qing Ru lightly brushed her clothes a few times and said: "It's okay, I'd better go by myself, only I know what kind of food my brother likes to eat, besides, I've been waiting here and I'm very anxious, why don't I go to the imperial dining room to have a look. After watching, brother and the others should be here too!" After speaking, she led Xiangyuan out.

It took a lot of time to go back and forth. Therefore, not long after Qingru returned to Chonghua Palace, someone came to report that the second young master and his new wife came to kowtow to Concubine Wan.

Qingru was overjoyed and was about to get up to meet him, but also thinking about the many rules in the palace, she had to sit down again with her half-up body, and turned to Xiangyuan: "Please come in quickly!"

Xiangyuan took the order to pick up the curtain cage and left, and after a while, he lifted the curtain again. Behind her were Suo'etu and the new wife. They walked in together and saluted Qingru who was sitting upright : "The servants kowtow to the concubine Wan!"

Qingru endured their tears and said after accepting their big gift: "Brother and sister-in-law, get up!" While talking, she was busy sitting down, and after they sat down, she had a chance to look at her. Her brother was still the same as before, but he was newly married, and his face He was more happy, and he helped his wife to sit down before he sat down, which shows that he cares about this lady very much.

Qing Ru turned her attention to her new sister-in-law after looking at her for a while. This sister-in-law is indeed not very good-looking, she can only be described as delicate, and she can only be regarded as a middle-lower figure in this palace where there are so many beauties. Some of them were not eye-catching, no wonder they lost the election at that time, you must know that Fulin is a person who attaches great importance to appearance.

But if you look at it with your heart, you will find that there is a kind of gentle and strong scholarly atmosphere hidden under that not-so-great appearance, that kind of indifferent atmosphere that has read all the books in the world, as well as eyes full of endless wisdom , if a beautiful woman is a strong wine, then she is rice wine that needs to be savored carefully, long and long, with endless aftertaste!

"Brother, why don't you introduce my sister-in-law to me?" After the servants served tea and left, Qingru asked Suo'etu with a narrow smile.

"Your sister-in-law's name is Manxue!" Suo'etu said with some embarrassment, but Manxue stood up gracefully and said, "Manxue has seen your mother!"

"Sister-in-law, sit down quickly, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite!" Qing Ru hurriedly excused her, and after she sat down, she said: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have met my sister-in-law. I have heard about it for a long time. The big name, but we have never been able to see each other, unexpectedly we became a family in the end!" At this point, she couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling, and at the same time glanced at Suo'etu.
