Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 121

Zhongcui Palace

After returning from Chengqian Palace, Concubine Hui seemed to be in a very good mood. She took a sip of tea with an unconcealable smile in her eyes.

"The emperor's grace is very hot. The days are still long, and some people will suffer!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid Zhen'er standing there hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is very right, it's just that this servant doesn't understand something, why does Your Majesty bother to help Concubine De today?"

If there were no words from his own mother, the emperor would not let Concubine De take the fourteenth elder brother back to Yonghe Palace for a few days.

Usually, I don't see my empress getting close to Concubine De, why did she suddenly change her temper today and go to help Concubine De?When she heard those words, she was really surprised for a long time.

Concubine Hui picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip, then said thoughtfully: "The imperial concubine is the only one who stands out, and the palace is too deserted." A bit cold: "Besides, I don't want an elder brother to appear in Chengqian Palace, who won't get the emperor's attention. His fourteenth elder brother crawled out of the belly of Concubine De. I deserve to be Yinqin of my palace."

Listening to Concubine Hui's words, a flash of clarity flashed in the eyes of the palace maid Zhen'er, everything the empress did was naturally for the elder brother.

The son of the concubine De and the son of the imperial concubine naturally have different weights in the eyes of the emperor. The imperial concubine is the same as the vice queen, and the fourteenth elder brother is considered half a son in the Chengqian Palace. No wonder his mother can't tolerate him.But the matter is a foregone conclusion, the only thing the empress can do is to provoke the mother-child relationship between the fourteenth elder brother and the imperial concubine.

He was originally an adopted son, and with Concubine De making noises in the middle from time to time, even if the fourteenth elder brother was raised in Chengqian Palace, it would not be a big deal.

You know, the master of Chengqian Palace can't hold half a grain of sand in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is right. The maidservant heard that Elder Fourteen has been crying every day since he lived in Chengqian Palace. The imperial concubine lost her temper because she didn't like people making noise. Even the nuns who took care of Elder Fourteen on weekdays They are all newly recruited by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The fourteenth elder brother was pampered by the concubine De, how could he have suffered such grievances, and now he cries unceasingly whenever he sees the concubine. Speaking of which, the relationship between mother and child is really shallow."

Concubine Hui snorted coldly, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth: "It's not up to you or me to decide whether it's shallow or not. As a mother-in-law, I have to be patient everywhere, but the imperial concubine is afraid that she won't have that kind of patience. daughter, she was born unable to endure wronged."

In the end, it was quite a bit of ridicule.

Although the Tong family's daughter is noble, she will be a noble concubine when she enters the palace, but which one, Empress Xiaoyiren or the present imperial concubine, has really won the emperor's favor.

The Tong family hasn't had a prince yet?Is it because she can't give birth by herself, or because the emperor can't tolerate it?
Concubine Hui smiled, changed the subject suddenly, and asked, "Is Mrs. Yugui safe and sound?" Concubine Hui raised her eyes, and her eyes fell on the maid standing there.

"If you go back to your mother, I'm afraid that the nobleman has no strength these few days. She lies on the bed for half a day, and the slave girl wonders if my mother will invite an imperial doctor to come and have a look?" Hearing what her mother said, Zhen'er looked up in embarrassment. Starting up, he replied cautiously.

Since Mrs. Yugui gave birth, she has been making noise all day long. She dropped most of the porcelain in the house, causing the Zhongcui Palace to be restless.

Speaking of it, she also blamed her own bad luck for not having the blessing of being a master.In terms of family background and appearance, the nobles in the palace are considered top-notch, but the emperor just doesn't want to see her.Except for a few days of favor when she first entered the palace, she was never summoned by the emperor again.

It was not easy to get pregnant, and the baby was a thin and yellow princess. The emperor only took one look, and then waved for someone to hug her.People in the palace are saying behind their backs that the nobleman committed suicide by himself, and if he hadn't been jealous of Concubine Mimi's favor, he wouldn't have given birth prematurely because of a fall in anger.

If it was not premature, giving birth to a healthy princess might be able to win back the emperor's heart?

It can only be said that although Mrs. Yugui is the niece of the empress, but her stomach is not up to date, and she failed to give birth to an elder brother for the emperor, otherwise, the emperor would still come to Zhongcui Palace from time to time.

"She's comfortable." Listening to the maid's reply, Concubine Hui's eyes flashed with disgust.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this slave is talking too much." Seeing Concubine Hui's face somber, the palace maid Zhen'er hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

These days, the empress is becoming more and more disliked by Yugui.

Concubine Hui took a look at her, and sighed softly: "Forget it, let's go with Bengong and have a look, it's really not worrying for such a big person."

Although Concubine Hui's tone softened a bit, there was an indescribable disgust in her eyes.

Zhen'er hurriedly responded, stood up, helped Concubine Hui and walked out.

The winter sun was extremely cold, and as soon as he walked out of the hall, a biting chill swept over, and Zhen'er hurriedly handed the hand stove to Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui glanced at the side hall, and said casually, "Is Yugui's room still warm?"

Knowing the meaning of Concubine Hui's words, Zhen'er hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Mrs. Yugui is still in confinement, with Your Majesty here, the people from the House of Internal Affairs didn't dare to go too far, and sent the bamboo charcoal here early in the morning."

Concubine Hui nodded, and said: "Send two baskets of red bamboo charcoal over there in a while, it's my kindness."

"Yes, Yugui will definitely understand your mother's heart." Zhen'er responded and said with a smile.

Seeing Concubine Hui coming, the maids waiting outside the palace hurried forward to greet her.

"Slave, please give your concubine the best of luck."

"Get up."

"Thank you madam."

The maid stood up and stepped forward to lift the curtain.

"Where's your master?"

"Returning to the empress, the nobleman took medicine and just lay down." Hearing Concubine Hui's words, the maid's eyes flickered, and she replied cautiously.

Concubine Hui's eyes naturally understood this look, but she didn't intend to be a slave, as a slave also has the hardships of being a slave, especially when meeting an unreliable master.

Obviously, the status of the nobleman who gave birth to the princess has plummeted in Concubine Hui's heart.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so many days, I only went to see Mrs. Yugui once, and it was when she had just given birth.Counting it, it has been more than half a month.

In a few days, Yu Guiren will be out of confinement.

Concubine Hui chose this time to come because she definitely didn't really care about her own niece.

The maid's heart raised her throat, but seeing Concubine Hui's face was calm, she ordered casually: "Tell the imperial physician to come over and diagnose the nobleman's pulse."

Hearing Concubine Hui's words, the maid was very surprised, blessed her body, and hurried out.

Concubine Hui walked into the inner room slowly, and as soon as she entered, she smelled a pungent smell.With no wind in the confinement period, the smell in the hall will naturally not be pleasant, coupled with a strong smell of medicine, it will be even more unbearable.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yu Guiren turned around, saw Concubine Hui walking towards him, and sat up abruptly.Probably because he got up too quickly, he wobbled and almost fell on the bed.

"Lie down, you are not in good health, why don't people report back to the palace, so you can ask the imperial doctor to come and see." Concubine Hui hurriedly stepped forward and supported her body, but the words she spoke made the nobleman's face paler Some.

Before this, Concubine Hui seldom called herself Ben Gong in front of her.

The noble man forced a smile, and said: "Miss Youlao is worried, Yurong is not blessed, and she failed to give birth to an elder brother for the emperor, how dare you alarm the imperial physician."

When Concubine Hui heard this, surprise flashed in her eyes.I haven't seen her for a long time, but my niece has improved a bit.

Her temperament is the most impatient and the most unwilling to give in, seeing her suddenly become so humble, one cannot help but be surprised.

As if guessing what Concubine Hui was thinking, the nobleman smiled bitterly: "These days, Yurong finally understands, Erniang said that life in the palace is hard without the emperor's favor."

Concubine Hui inspected the nobleman for a long time, hearing the despair in her voice and the lack of domineering in her eyes, she believed it a little.

That's right, no matter how proud and arrogant a woman came to this harem, she became docile in the end.It's inevitable that Yurong is a little willful when she is young, but after such a long hard life, she can't think about it anymore.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui felt a little more at ease.

After all, Yurong is her own niece, if she is available, why would she bother looking for another pawn.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui's complexion softened a little.

"Don't be silly, you are still young, and you have a long time to go. You may have the opportunity to get the emperor's favor, but now it is important to have a good life and take care of your body." Concubine Hui put the hand of the nobleman in hers, and the tentacles held a few It's cool to know that her life is not easy.

Even with her protection, the life of this unfavored concubine is very sad, not to mention, these days, because of her deliberate alienation, the servants under her have become more and more neglected.

Hearing Concubine Hui's consolation, nobleman Yu cried out at this time, threw herself into Concubine Hui's arms and cried, "Auntie, it's all Yurong's fault, from now on, Yurong will definitely listen to Auntie." She cried like this, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances and despair.

"It's all Yurong's useless... Aunt must help Yurong."

Concubine Hui patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her softly: "Okay, don't cry, with my aunt here, I will always plan for you."

As soon as Concubine Hui's words fell, the nobleman's crying became a little quieter. She suddenly raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she said in disbelief, "What Auntie said is true?"

Concubine Hui smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, my aunt would lie to you."

Yugui sniffed, his voice choked with sobs: "Auntie said so, Yurong is relieved, Auntie is relieved, Yurong will never lose her temper again."

Concubine Hui nodded, and smiled at the nobleman, "That's good, you are the daughter of the Nala family, and you will always gain a foothold in the harem."
