Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 105 Zipei (3) Unbanned

Yueling frowned when she heard Shuiyin's straightforward words, wondering why she said such things even though she knew that Qingru was in a bad mood. In fact, Shuiyin didn't know, but she had to be ruthless to remind Qingru , Zipei is no longer the former Zipei, and Qingru can no longer miss the old friendship!
Qingru raised her head and stared at Shui Yin for a long time, her knife-like gaze was undisguised, Yue Ling thought that Qing Ru was angry, and urged her urgently: "Sister, don't blame Sister Yin, she is telling the truth !"

Qingru slowly withdrew the cold light from her eyes, held it deep in her eyes, and then bent her lips, drawing a cool smile like a crescent moon: "I can't blame you for singing to my sister, she is kindly reminding me that I It's my own fault that I didn't discover the wolfish ambition of this little hoof, it's really a tiger's nest!" She thumped the table heavily as she spoke.

"Sister Ru, when did you know about this?" Yue Ling asked curiously, she and Shui Yin sat down next to Qing Ru.

Qingru said angrily: "Just now, not much earlier than you guys, if Rixi happened to see her come out of Qianqing Palace and come here to tell me, I'm afraid I'm still kept in the dark."

Shuiyin picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Qingru: "Okay, since the incident has already happened, it's useless for you to be angry again, why don't you tell us the cause of the incident first, Zi After all, Pei is the maid you brought from the mansion, how did it suddenly become like this?"

Qingru pondered for a while and said: "This has to start with the incident of Mianxiu's death..." Then she explained in detail how Zipei had become so estranged from her, and how she gradually became estranged, and waited. After she finished speaking, Shui Yin and Yue Ling had a general understanding of what happened.

Yue Ling said in a low voice: "The so-called knowing people, knowing faces but not hearts, probably means that she is like this!"

"Actually, this is not a bad thing!" Shui Yin turned an empty tea bowl upside down on the table, and then suddenly said this, Yue Ling asked strangely: "Sister Yin, how do you say that?"

Shui Yin smiled lightly and said: "Think about it, she has officially turned against Ru'er now, and then Ru'er will not believe that she is close to her anymore, right?"

Yueling nodded, expressing her agreement, while Qingru didn't say a word, and just listened to what they had to say.

Shui Yin said again: "Then what if she doesn't know how to turn against Ru'er, but instead makes trouble in secret? I'm afraid Ru'er will suffer even more damage, so from this point of view, it can be regarded as a good thing , the so-called open spear is easy to hide, but since she has exposed herself, it will be much easier for you to deal with in the future, what do you think?"

Qingru nodded slightly, and said with a hint of sneer: "She is doing good things with bad intentions, maybe I have to thank her, but..." She lowered her face and said: "Then I have to wait for her to pay what she owes me." After everything is returned!"

Shuiyin listened silently, the matter had reached this level and it would definitely not end well, what she was most afraid of was that Qingru would miss Zipei because of her old love, then there would be endless troubles, so she said that sentence at the beginning, The purpose is to wake up Qingru, and now it seems that she is worrying too much, Qingru has not lost her fighting spirit, but she knows that her heart must be full of anger and sorrow at the same time. Can act as if nothing had happened!

Yue Ling was listening, when she suddenly saw a booklet on the table, she opened it out of curiosity, before she could read it carefully, Qing Ru snatched it, then tore it into pieces with a few swipes, and took Yue Ling to pieces. Ling stared dumbfounded, not knowing why.

Looking at the debris all over the floor, Qingru sneered and said: "What's the use of keeping this thing, it's better to tear it up, just treat it as me being blind, and doing this for her for nothing!" After a pause, she suddenly He sighed again: "Actually, I have always known that she has a high heart, so when I asked my brother to help me find a husband's house for me, I specifically said that I must be the main wife, because I was afraid that she would be allowed to be a concubine." There will be grievances in her heart! But I never imagined that she would compete with me for my favor!"

Hearing this, Yueling vaguely understood that the torn booklet must be from Qingru's husband's house specially found for Zipei. What's so good, the emperor said that there are so many empresses in the palace who don't want him, but he has to take a fancy to such a little girl like her!"

Yue Ling accidentally showed a little bit of sourness, yes, she was drafted seriously, but she has never been favored, and Zi Pei is just an ordinary court lady, with a bit of beauty, but she is definitely not comparable to her, However, she has received the grace of God, how can Yue Ling be convinced.

"Your Majesty... Alas, the power of heaven is unpredictable!" Shui Yin sighed, showing a little sense of loss: "But Yue Ling, let's talk about it here, don't go outside and say who the Emperor likes is him." Even the queen can’t control his freedom, let alone us, let alone a court lady, even if he brings all the court ladies into the harem, no one dares to say no!”

Listening to the conversation between Yueling and Shuiyin, Qingru stood up silently, with a little sadness on her face, she knew from the very beginning that Fulin was the emperor and was destined to have many women, but why, why did she still She would be sad and heartbroken. She hoped that Fulin would only treat her well and only have her alone. She knew it was impossible, but she still thought, maybe this is her greatest sorrow!
A woman who falls in love with the emperor is the most insane!The most stupid!

Qingru shook her head, put the untimely sadness out of her mind, calmed down and said: "Sister Yin is right, no matter what the emperor does, there are reasons for it, we can't talk about the emperor here! "She endured the sad feeling and said word by word, being a concubine is far more difficult than being an ordinary woman. Since she has chosen this path, she must do her best to go on, hiding her heart, and not being completely exposed to anyone. In people's eyes, only in this way can she keep her previous appearance in her heart well, so that no matter how she changes in the future, she will remember her former self and a heart that belongs to her!
Yueling blushed slightly, and lowered her head to answer, she knew she was a little distracted, Shuiyin frowned, and changed the topic to the point: "What are you going to do next, Zipei has agreed now anyway, Although Xiao Ke is also a serious master, she is no longer a member of your palace, but she is not something you can deal with if you want!"

Qingru raised her hand and touched her face, slipping the greasy powder under her fingers, she sneered and said: "Since we can't deal with it, let's just wait and see what happens, I didn't take the path I arranged for her, but I chose this path , I'd like to see how far she can go, but...she probably thinks about the harem too simply!"

Hearing this, Shui Yin also laughed, clapped his hands and said: "That's right, since she is going to seek her own death, we can't hinder her!"

Yue Ling also smiled and said: "That's right, in each palace and courtyard, which palace maid who went out with her master behind her back has a good end, let alone the one who is far away, and the one who is close is Shu Gui, the final end is obvious to all of!"

Qingru smiled lightly, fiddled with her armor, and her lowered eyes gradually became indifferent. Now her mood is no longer as angry as before, she has gradually calmed down, and calmness often easily turns into indifference!

Shui Yin smiled for a while and suddenly said worriedly: "Then what are you going to do with the emperor?"

Qingru closed her eyes, shook her head and said in a deep voice: "Sister, you are wrong. It is not what I plan to do, but what the emperor plans to do. That girl is from my palace, and the emperor will come to give her no matter what she accepts now." Let me make a confession, all I can do now is wait for this confession, if there is no accident, the emperor should express something at night or tomorrow night!" Unless the emperor doesn't care about her at all!
The last sentence was as if she hadn’t said it out loud, because she herself was not sure whether Fulin cared about her or not, why she always felt that Fulin’s heart was so elusive, she felt that she had caught it, but The next moment, he was farther away again. Is this the case for all emperors? !
Shuiyin didn't have a better idea for a while, so he could only nod his head in agreement, while Yueling suddenly thought of something, and said uncertainly: "Do you think the emperor really likes her?"

After hearing this, Shui Yin said indifferently: "The emperor only wants to see her as a novelty for a while, how could he really like her? Does she have the qualifications and capital? In terms of appearance, talent, learning, and character, which one can be accepted?" Your Majesty has caught the eye, and when it comes to the word I really like it, I am afraid that only your elder sister can afford it!" At this point, she glanced at Qing Ru with a smile in her eyes.

Qingru covered her lips with a light smile and said: "Well, why did you bring the topic up to me? It's his business who the emperor likes more, and it's not something we can control. Could it be that sister, you are jealous of me? ’ she said jokingly.

Shuiyin felt embarrassed immediately when she said this, and said angrily: "Nonsense, am I so stingy? You want me to be jealous of you, you are beautiful!" She gently pinched Qingru's nose, which was right Her punishment too.

The few people frolicked for a while and got down to business. Although Shuiyin said it was impossible for Yueling's question, Qingru was still a little concerned. If it was true, would it be true that a villain was allowed to show off his might in front of her?Thinking of this, Qingru couldn't help but slapped the table with her palm, shaking the teacup lightly, and several drops of water splashed out.

"What are you doing?" Shui Yin hurriedly grabbed her reddish palm and rubbed it gently: "It's not worth hurting yourself for such a heartless slave, hurry up and calm down!" He gestured to Yue Ling with his eyes. , and asked her to help unravel Qingru.

Yueling said knowingly: "Yes, sister Ru, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself, so that you will have the strength to fight her, and you can rest assured that she was promoted from a palace maid, and she is under the control of the palace. According to the rules, you can only be promoted step by step, and generally only up to concubine concubine, so she is still under you!" Seeing that Qingru's expression eased a little, she stepped up and said: "Furthermore, if you think about it, sister, Zipei All I want is to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, and to be equal to you, but in the end she still has to obediently salute when she sees you. If you tell her how it feels in her heart, I’m afraid she’ll be in a panic, but you press her tightly, and still Afraid that there will be no chance to punish her, take back what she owes you?!"

The so-called authorities are confused by the bystanders.Although Qingru tried her best to keep clear, she was already in the game after all, and there were some things that no one else could see clearly. Now, after hearing Yue Ling's solution, Fang Ming came over, and said gradually, "Sister Ling, you're smart, it's me. Too impatient!"

Yue Ling lowered her head in embarrassment, and Shui Yin interjected: "You can sort it out, we are afraid that you will be fooled by anger, and people will have an opportunity to take advantage of it! By the way, what do you say?" Will Pei be favored this time, will someone help her?"

Shui Yin's words made Qing Ru tremble, and hesitantly said: "Is there someone to help her? Who would this person be? Why would he help a court lady to get the emperor's blessing? What good will it do her?"

Facing her series of questions, Shuiyin shook her head slowly, indicating that she didn't know how to answer: "This is just a feeling of mine, I'm not sure if it's true, Ru'er, do you still remember the last time I and you The person behind the scenes?"

"Remember!" Qingru said seriously, facing such an enemy hidden in the dark, she really felt a little powerless, it was everywhere, but elusive!
"Then you said this time, will she also get involved? We can be sure that Zipei wants to leave you and set up your own family, but things in the palace are not that simple. She is a little Maid, how could it be possible to fly on the branch if she wanted to, there must be something behind this!" Shui Yin frowned and said, she had doubted the day and night, but later she thought it was impossible, and now she has no doubts The object can only be speculated freely.

Qingru's half-year confinement in Chonghua Palace made her miss many things and didn't understand them, so she couldn't answer for a while, let alone Yueling, she looked curiously at Qingru and Shui Yin seemed to understand what they said.

"You mean, Zipei might have hooked up with that person?" Qingru wiped the sweat beads that had oozed from the tip of her nose with a handkerchief.

Shuiyin supported the loose pearl flower on Yueling's head and said softly: "I'm afraid it may not be so, assuming there is such a person, she didn't reveal a single bit of herself when she defeated Concubine Tong, which shows how careful she is and treats herself How good is the protection, how can a little maid know, maybe she is just manipulating everything secretly, the real body..." She snorted coldly and stopped talking, but the meaning could not be more clear.

For a while, everyone lost the interest to continue talking, and it was near noon, it was as clear as inviting people to pass on the meal, leaving Shuiyin and Yueling to eat in his palace, although the meal was delicious, but the people who ate it I don't have any appetite, I just eat a few bites hastily.

After sending Shuiyin and Yueling away, Qingru entered the Nuan Pavilion alone, lifted her dress, and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, her mind kept replaying what Shuiyin said just now. What I think about the most is no longer Zipei, but the invisible black hand. She is the truly terrifying person, but where is she hiding?
Thinking about it, she unconsciously closed her eyes, she didn't sleep much last night, and today she was annoyed all day, so she was a little sleepy, the bead chain hanging from her hair was quietly hanging on her clean On the forehead, gradually fell asleep during a period of half-dream and half-awake, and fell into a dream!
This sleep lasted until the sun was sinking and Xishan Fang woke up, lazily propped up, perhaps heard the movement inside, knew that she had got up, and someone outside called softly: "Your Majesty? But you are awake?"

After waking up, she recognized Xiangyuan's voice, raised her hand to straighten her messy bun and said, "Come in." Having obtained her permission, Xiangyuan put up a curtain to hide himself in, came to the front and lowered his hands and said, "Your Majesty." Just now, the emperor sent someone to pass the decree, and tonight, Lady Xuan will go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to attend her!" She said cautiously.
