Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 147

After coming out of Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xiang only took a meaningful glance at Mrs. Ning Gui and walked straight ahead.

Ning Guiren looked at her back and only sneered: "What is she, she can only curry favor with the imperial concubine."

The court lady Cui Zhu followed Ning Guiren, heard this, and said in a low voice: "Master, you have to be careful, after the master is favored, the concubine Xiang has been jealous of the master, I am afraid she will do something."

Ning Guiren stood there, trying to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "The concubine Xiang is not afraid, but the imperial concubine. Be careful these days, Don't make any trouble."

Just now when the imperial concubine looked at her, she felt a chill run down her back. She had been in the palace for so long, and she had seen the methods of the imperial concubine before, so she had to guard against it.

"Yes." Cuizhu replied respectfully, and then supported Ning Guiren to walk forward.

When passing by the imperial garden, I happened to meet Zhiyue who was walking over there.

"Concubine pays respects to the nobleman." Zhi promised wearing a lake-green flag dress with a jade hairpin on her head. Although she put on a little makeup, she could still see the black circles under her eyes.

Ning Guiren glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Where is Zhi promised to go in such a cold day?"

Before Zhi agreed to speak, Ning Guiren took up the handkerchief to cover the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I forgot, of course my sister came to greet the imperial concubine and empress." Ning Guiren's gaze stayed on Zhi's promised face. After a while, he said with something in his words: "Although Concubine Hui has lost her favor now, my younger sister is still a member of Concubine Hui's Palace. If she knows that Concubine Hui goes to Chengqian Palace every day, I am afraid that Concubine Hui will be even worse. Happy."

Zhi promised to stand up slowly, and said respectfully: "My concubine will definitely take the nobleman's teachings to heart. If the nobleman has nothing else to say, then my concubine will go to pay her respects first."

"Go." Ning Guiren waved his hand slightly, Zhi promised to bless his body, and walked forward.

"It's very good, why did the master care about Zhi and agreed." Cuizhu asked puzzled.

Ning Guiren smiled: "I don't care about her at all, I just pity her. I climbed into the emperor's bed, but I'm not even as good as a respectable court lady. It's really pitiful."

Listening to her master's words, Cuizhu only nodded her head and didn't answer, she could tell that the master was not pitying Zhi for agreeing, he was clearly watching her joke.

But then again, it was really unlucky for Zhi to agree, after all the rain and dew that had happened all night, the emperor forgot about her.It must be a hard life for a promise who is not on the stage to live under the eyes of the concubine Hui.Otherwise, Zhi promised not to tear face with Concubine Hui, and ran towards Chengqian Palace without any shyness.

The two were talking, and returned to their own palace after a while.

But here, the imperial concubine was sitting on the soft couch, eating the tea and snacks on the table as if there was no one else around, not paying attention to Zhiyue who was kneeling on the ground at all.

After a long time, he turned his head and gave a glance to the maid standing behind Zhiyue: "Hurry up and help your master get up."

Listening to her instructions, the court lady hurried forward, carefully lifted Zhi up and agreed.

Zhi promised to stand up, but still stood there respectfully with her eyebrows frowned. At first glance, she really seemed to be indescribably respectful and careful.

"Are you serious?" The imperial concubine put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at Zhi's promise with a little more scrutiny.

"Yes, my concubine dare not lie to the empress. These days, concubine Hui has sent many good things to the fifth princess. If she doesn't know, she still thinks that the fifth princess is her own daughter. Empress dowager, you know that the empress dowager loves the fifth princess. To please the Fifth Princess is to please the Queen Mother."

When the imperial concubine heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, but she just said indifferently: "The fifth princess is the daughter of the royal family, so it is naturally more expensive, and even the best things can be afforded."

Zhi promised to hold the handkerchief tighter, and whispered: "Your Majesty's words are true."

The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at Zhiyue's obedient look, with a satisfied look on her face.

Although Zhi promised to come from a bad background, it was useful.No matter how much Concubine Hui guarded against her, she couldn't be watched all the time. With her around, it was equivalent to having an extra pair of eyes in Zhongcui Palace.Every move of Concubine Hui fell into her eyes.

And Zhi promised that no matter how close she was to Chengqian Palace, Concubine Hui could only endure it.After all, Zhi promised not to be favored again, and she was also the emperor's lucky woman.The emperor has just demoted her status, if there is any reason to be caught, I am afraid that she will never be able to turn around for the rest of her life.

The imperial concubine picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip lightly, then asked Zhi to promise a few words, and then ordered her to back out.

"Mommy, isn't Concubine Hui trying to curry favor with the fifth princess? Then we will give her what she wants." With a faint smile on the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth, she gave Gui Nanny a meaningful look.

Nanny Gui's complexion changed slightly, the empress is here, she wants to add fuel to the fire, so that Concubine Hui will never turn over again in this life.

"Your Majesty, you want to..."

The imperial concubine picked up the teacup in her hand, drank it sips, and said slowly: "Do it well, if this is done, there will be one less enemy in this palace."

Nanny Gui responded, but she was a little embarrassed. The five princesses were raised by the Queen Mother, so it was so easy to do so.Besides, how much the empress dowager thinks more about the fifth princess than the elder brother.I'm afraid that in the end, I just let it go gently.

This trick of the empress is not clever.

Xu Shi guessed Nanny Gui's thoughts, the imperial concubine waved her hand, and whispered a few words in Nanny Gui's ear.

As soon as she finished speaking, a look of horror suddenly flashed in Nanny Gui's eyes.

"Miss!"

The imperial concubine looked at Nanny Gui's complexion changed drastically, but she just stroked the teacup in her hand, her eyes were calm and unwavering, as if the words she just said were very ordinary.

"Your Majesty, if the Emperor finds out about this matter, it will be a serious crime that will implicate the entire family."

Nanny Gui doesn't know why her own mother has such a terrible idea. Although the queen mother doesn't ask about the harem, the emperor's respect for the queen mother is also true. If something happens to the queen mother, the emperor is afraid that Longyan will be furious .

"The mother also said that it is the great crime of killing the nine clans." The imperial concubine's voice paused, and said with a smile: "So, as long as you are careful, the big crime of killing the nine clans will fall on Hui The concubine is on her head."

"At that time, let alone a big brother, I'm afraid the big brother would wish he didn't have a concubine like Concubine Hui."

Seeing the stubbornness in her mother's eyes, Nanny Gui had no choice but to agree.

"Since the empress has already made up her mind, this old servant can only act according to the will of the empress."

That being said, she didn't think so in her heart.

The empress is confused, but she is not.

I can't even think about such a mind-blowing thing.If the empress is like this, a little carelessness will bring disaster to the Tong family.

No matter how well-established the Tong family is, they cannot withstand the emperor's thunderous wrath.

Nanny Gui was thinking about it when a young eunuch walked in from outside the hall.

"Reporting to Madam, Eunuch Li is here by the emperor's side.

Listening to the eunuch's words, the imperial concubine's eyes flashed with surprise.

Why did Li Dequan come at this time?

The imperial concubine suppressed the surprise in her eyes, and ordered Li Dequan to be invited in.

The little eunuch stepped back and brought Li Dequan in after a while.

"My servant pays my respects to the empress." Li Dequan bowed his head and walked in front of the imperial concubine, saluting.

"Get up, father-in-law is here, but the emperor has some orders."

Li Dequan nodded, with a smile on his face, he said: "Your Majesty is very thoughtful, the emperor has sent your Majesty to accompany you in Qianqing Palace."

Listening to Li Dequan's words, the imperial concubine's eyes immediately showed a look of joy, but she pretended to order lightly on her face: "I have to thank you, father-in-law, then I will go to change clothes first, and then I will be there."

"That's natural. If the empress has no other orders, the slave will go back to Qianqing Palace to answer the emperor."

The imperial concubine nodded, and Li Dequan backed out.

After leaving Chengqian Palace, the respectful expression on Li Dequan's face disappeared immediately.

Seeing him like this, the little eunuch who was following him asked in a puzzled way: "My father-in-law also pointed out the servants, why did the emperor suddenly think of the imperial concubine today?"

You know, on weekdays, the emperor seldom sent the imperial concubine to go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany him.

Isn't it incomprehensible for such a sudden encounter?

Li Dequan turned around, raised his hand and slapped him on the head hard, but said with a smile: "You monkey bastard, you are full of bad water, even the miscellaneous family was almost deceived by you."

The eunuch was in pain, but he didn't dare to hide, and still had a flattering smile on his face: "Eunuch, this is wronging this slave, and I dare not lie to you, Eunuch, if I cheat anyone. The slave just can't see through, and doesn't know What did Lord Tong say to the emperor..."

The eunuch hadn't finished speaking, when he met Li Dequan's slightly stern gaze, he swallowed it immediately and slapped himself several times.

"Damn the father-in-law, the slaves are talking nonsense."

Li Dequan looked at it for a while, then said coldly: "This slave can't control his thoughts, he just doesn't want his own head."

The eunuch's face changed, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes.

"What the father-in-law said is that the slave will never dare again."

When he said this, Li Dequan stared at him closely and took a good look at him.

Seeing Li Dequan like this, the little eunuch immediately seeped a layer of sweat on his forehead, swallowed unconsciously, but didn't dare to say a word.

On this day, Kangxi passed on that the imperial concubine went to the Qianqing Palace to accompany her, and at night, she turned over the sign of the imperial concubine again.

This time, everyone in the harem was alarmed.

The night was very dark, in a certain corner of Qianqing Palace, several eunuchs covered the mouth of one eunuch, and quickly pulled him down.

Li Dequan looked at it coldly, and after a long time, he spit out a mouthful.

A restless slave, there is only one way to go, and that is a dead end.
