Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 56: Fortune and Misfortune (4)

Qing Ru smiled noncommittally, and before they could say anything else, the main event of tonight began. As one of the newly sealed nine concubines, everyone brought presents to show their congratulations, porcelain, jewelry, makeup, etc. What Qingru sent was a piece of top-quality blood-colored amber, on which the word "Fushou" was engraved with intaglio techniques, Shuiyin was a pair of South Sea pearls, and Yueling was a purse embroidered by herself.

The most unexpected thing was Kebi, she not only brought a gift but also it was different, it was a dessert made by herself, shaped like a flower, colored like a rainbow, and had a very unique name, called "Qianduo Yingxin"!
As the mistress of a side palace, there is actually a small kitchen in the palace, which shows how much she was favored back then. However, Fulin's face changed drastically when he saw the dim sum, and he looked at Ke who was smiling there in a very complicated way. Concubine, after moving her throat a few times, she finally didn't say anything.

After this lap, Rixi’s eyes were already piled up with all kinds of gifts, her happy eyes were bent into a pair of crescent moons, touching this one and that one, like a child Can't stop for a moment.

What the concubine Zhen gave was a pair of Xiangchu embroidered scrolls. After giving the gift, she did not retreat immediately, but stood next to Dong Exianglan, looked at Fulin and suddenly covered her lips with a smile, and asked her why she was smiling. The concubine Zhen said frankly Said: "All of us, big and small, gave gifts to Concubine Chun, but one of us didn't say anything. It stands to reason that he is the one who should give gifts the most!" When she said this, others would know after thinking about it for a while. Who was she talking about, and they all laughed, Dong E Xianglan patted the concubine Zhen with a smile and said: "Look at your poor mouth, even the emperor dares to say it!"

Ri Xichu still didn't understand, but she didn't realize it until she heard the words, she blurted out: "Sister Zhen, you are wrong, the emperor has rewarded Xi'er a long time ago!"

"Oh? Have I ever rewarded you? How come I don't even know about it?" Fu Lin asked in amazement.

Rixi got up and turned around happily and said happily: "Actually, Sister Zhen has already said that the word 'chun' is what the emperor rewards his concubines. The best of all the presents I have given you!" She smiled unrestrainedly, without the reservedness of a lady, nor the reservedness of Xiaojiabiyu, but this is what Fulin likes and cherishes the most, and he said with a doting smile: "It's fine if you like it, but I've already prepared another gift for you, I'm sure you'll like it, Xi'er!" As he spoke, he ignored Ri Xi's question about what it was, and beckoned someone to take the things he had prepared early in the morning. When they came in, first one, then a group, a total of ten eunuchs came in with something in their hands. The things were about two feet high.

Fulin took Rixi's hand and walked down, and came to one of them. Under Fulin's instruction, Rixi slowly lifted the cover, and in an instant, a pot of hibiscus flowers that should not bloom at this season appeared in front of her. , Rixi couldn't believe it, she murmured: "This...this is my favorite lotus...why..."

At the same time, the other nine people also opened the cloth in front of them one after another, and suddenly ten pots of hibiscus flowers with different colors and postures appeared in front of her, dazzled her, and thought it was an illusion, so she picked a petal and put it on the ground. After sniffing carefully under the nose and putting it in the mouth, I confirmed that all this is true. The hibiscus flower that only bloomed in October actually bloomed in September.

How did Fulin do it?Qingru looked sadly at the monarch in front of him wearing a nine-dragon robe, and saw that the man she liked was spending a lot of time on other women, even if that man was her good sister, she couldn't help feeling sour. They are all so jealous and narrow-minded!

Unless she doesn't love that man at all, thinking of this, she can't help but look at the famous imperial concubine, wondering for the first time whether she has ever loved Fulin, the way she loves Fulin, or the way Fulin loves her Like that?

If so, why can she push him to one woman after another indifferently, is it just to gain a good name, that would be too tiring!
She was thinking wildly in the back, and Fulin in front, under Ri Xi's surprised questioning, came up with a way to urge the hibiscus flowers to bloom: "It's not difficult at all, isn't the ice in the ice cellar in the palace not used up yet? I ordered someone to take ice and put it in a large glass cover with the flowers, and let the sun shine all the time. When the temperature dropped, it felt like October cold autumn inside, and I ordered the gardener to take care of it. Just yesterday, All these hibiscus have bloomed, otherwise I would have thought of another gift to give, how about it, Xi'er, do you like it?"

Rixi stared at these dreamlike flowers and was speechless, the word "shock" was clearly written on her face, seeing her cute little mouth slightly opened, Fulin smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and folded it in the basin. Putting a flower on her temples with her own hands, she asked again: "Do you like it?"

Rixi was so touched that tears were falling down her cheeks. She could only nod her head without saying a word, and after a long time she stroked the soft petals on her head and choked up, "The time when Er Niang gave birth to a concubine It's the season when hibiscus blooms, so my concubine has been fond of this flower since I was a child, why do you treat Xi'er so well, Your Majesty?"

Such a silly question made Fulin moved: "Because Xi'er is my concubine, I will treat you better in the future. Today is your good day, so I will grant you one more wish, as long as I I will promise what I can do!"

Rixi wrung her fingers lightly, apparently thinking about it, and after a while she blushed embarrassingly and said: "The concubine misses Ama and Er Niang, can the emperor let the concubine see them?" Her eyes were as big as a deer Shining with longing light, Fulin agreed without thinking: "What's the difficulty? Tomorrow I will announce that Mudal and his wife will enter the palace to meet you, and allow them to leave after lunch in the palace! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Rixi bowed down ecstatically, before her knees touched the ground, Fulin pulled her up, and the eyes of many women were focused on Rixi, the scorching heat made people enjoy it Tight!

It was also from this day that Wuya's glory gradually began to reach its peak!
Stepping on the sparse moonlight, Qingru left the table and walked into a small pavilion next to her. She had been here several times during the day and night, and knew that this was a place for people to rest. I wasn't too surprised to see her come in, shaking the wine glass she had been holding all the time, I bent my lips and said, "Your Majesty, we meet again!" The voice was as gentle as before, like an old friend who has known each other for many years.

"Yeah, it's just that you will come, my lord, it's really beyond my expectation!" No, Kebi, who has always avoided the world, would take the initiative to come here, it's really not like her behavior in the past.

"There are so many unexpected things in this world, no matter how smart a person is, it's impossible to predict everything, right?" Ke Bin slowly poured the wine into a pot of lucky bamboo by the wall, her eyes flickering Qingru, who had never seen Liang before, only heard her continue: "Ru nobleman, do you know that when I saw you for the first time in the cold palace that day, I really thought I saw the former Xie Yu, you are all that Like a woman with spiritual energy, and they are all so intelligent that it makes people feel distressed, and the same..." She put the cup aside, turned and looked directly into Qingru's eyes and said: "You all love the emperor deeply!"

"She... loves the emperor?" When mentioning Xie Yu who was imprisoned in the cold palace again, Qingru felt even more puzzled, what happened between Fulin, Mo Wan, and Xie Yu back then.

"If she doesn't love, she won't go crazy. The cold palace only imprisons the body, but love imprisons the heart. Crazy is better than not crazy. That's why I didn't let the imperial doctor cure madness for Xie Yu back then! As a nobleman, the tragedy that happened to Xie Yu, I don’t want it to happen to you again, you should get everything you deserve! The unfinished dream entrusted to me and Xie Yu, I hope to continue with you, now Do you understand the purpose of my coming?" Kebin spoke slowly, her expression seemed to be frozen to a certain extent, and there was never any ups and downs of great joy or sorrow.

"En" Qingru nodded.

"After avoiding it for so long, I should stand up again and take back what the emperor owed me." Kebi said, opening the half-hidden door a little, and reflected the scene of drinking and drinking outside: " Do you think Concubine Jing is beautiful?"

Qing Ru nodded, the princess who came out of the grassland was not much less beautiful than Dong E Xianglan.

"But she was abolished, and she was changed from the central palace to the side palace. In the palace, beauty does not determine everything. People are old and poor. This is an established law. No woman can escape it. Only by dealing with the emperor's temper and learning to understand him. Mind, knowing when to please and when to reject, only then can you win his favor, and you can be loved by thousands of people, in this respect, someone can do better than you!" She closed the door, bowed her head and said, I don't know who the last sentence is referring to.

"Since you understand so well, ma'am, why don't you do it yourself?" Qingru asked, she didn't understand why Kebi wanted to tell her this, but there was no reason, she just believed everything she said.

"It's because I understand too well that I can't do it!" At this point, she closed her eyes, forcing the hot feeling out of her eyes.

On the fourth day of September, Mu Dale, the Minister of Rites, and his wife entered the palace to meet the concubine Chun.

On the ninth day of September, the second Double Ninth Festival after the imperial concubine entered the palace, the imperial physician asked for the pulse of the imperial concubine, saying that her delivery period would be around the twelfth of October.

night of september 23
Just after midnight, a figure hidden in the darkness reappeared in his master's palace.

"How is things going?" The woman looked at the bronze mirror and took off the pearl hairpins on her head one by one and put them on the stage.

"Return to master, everything is going well, the servant puts the medicine in her diet every day, and no one has ever found out!" The figure's attitude was more respectful than in front of anyone.

"Really?" The woman turned her head, and the pearl hairpin in her hand was shining with a green light under the candlelight: "How did I hear that a few days ago, an imperial doctor told the emperor that the imperial concubine's fetal image was unstable all the time, It's not all due to your own reasons, maybe it's disturbed by external forces, so no one doubts that?"

"It's that Qin Guan who is in the way again, let him look good as soon as possible!" The figure bowed his head and cursed, and then said again: "Master Rong Zhi, I really can't blame the slave for this matter, the slave has already carefully controlled the amount, and that Qin The Imperial Physician only had doubts, but he couldn't find anything, please rest assured, Master."

"Having said that, it's always good to be careful. Don't cause any trouble for me. You must know that if this matter is exposed, it will be a big trouble. Not only will your life be lost, but even me will be in danger." May be involved!"

The figure repeatedly said yes, and the woman said again: "The imperial concubine is about to give birth, you have to pay special attention during this time, the medicine must not be stopped, have you made a note?"

"Your servant obeys!" The figure retreated quietly after beating a thousand times.

The woman looked at the starless night sky and smiled indifferently: Dong Exianglan, I want your son to become an idiot without dying. As for your life, I will stay with you first, and I will come back sooner or later!
As if responding to her words, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky for no reason, and then the thunder rumbled loudly and rumbled endlessly.

God?
What can you do to me!

The woman looked at the discolored sky with disdain.

The days without wind and waves continued until the seventh day of October, the day that changed the fate of Qingru's life, if that day had never come, if Mianxiu had never died that day, if Fulin hadn't slapped that day, maybe Qingru would have been forever With a heart of sincerity and affection, she will die slowly in the palace as a nobleman.In that way, she would not embark on the bloody road of fighting for favor in the harem, and she would not have endless love-hate entanglements in the future.

However, that was only if, everything finally changed that day...

A few years later, Qingru, who has become Wanfei, still clearly remembers everything that day, every word, every sentence...

In the precarious autumn of 14, she once again fell from the position of nobleman to the smallest promise!
In the spring of 15 years when grass grows and warblers fly, she has jumped from a promise to become the most proud concubine by the emperor's side!
Is it involuntary?Is it a wish?Only she knows everything best in her heart, a harem concubine who has gradually learned to use resourcefulness to win her status and the emperor's favor!
Mistakes - doomed, there is no turning back, even if it is beyond redemption!
