The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 113
The summer in the Forbidden City is in full swing. Walking on the long palace road, you can clearly feel the heat in front of you steaming into waves of white waves.The cicadas were singing day and night, and there were several basins of ice urns in the bedroom of Yikun Palace, but they still couldn't resist the heat.

Yingyun was pregnant, and became more and more afraid of heat, and often couldn't sleep peacefully at night.

The emperor thought about it and decided to take her to live in Chengde Mountain Resort for a while.Of course, the banner he played was 'serve the Empress Dowager Lafayette to go to the mountain to escape the summer heat', he is really a model of filial sons in the world.

This time it was a temporary idea, so the ostentation was not grand, only escorted by the imperial guards, the capital infantry battalion cleared the way, and the emperor took the empress dowager and empress to Chengde together.

On the day when the imperial chariot left the palace, the concubines were going to send them off as usual, watching the bright yellow imperial chariot slowly drive away, the concubine Yi who was standing in the back row complained softly: "I thought the empress was pregnant, the emperor can always Take a look at us, this is good, the emperor took the queen with him, not a single concubine."

Concubine Yu was the closest to her, she glanced at her, and said: "Concubine Yi, you should be careful with your words."

Being in the way of her status, Concubine Yi had no choice but to salute her, and responded with a muffled voice.

Concubine Ling tried to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Okay, the emperor is gone, the ones we stay in the palace are all our sisters, don't hurt your peace because of such a trivial matter."

Concubine Yu looked at Concubine Ling with admiration, smiled lightly, and took the court lady Yujin back to Jingren Palace first.

After Concubine Yu walked away, Concubine Yi said angrily: "Concubine Yu, why is she so proud? I just told the truth, and she protects the queen like this. When the queen gives birth to a son-in-law next year, she thinks that her Yongqi Can you still enter the eyes of the emperor?"

Concubine Qing said: "Elder sister, please don't say a few words. Concubine Yu still has a fifth elder brother by her side. What do we have? Once we lose the favor, we will be alone."

As soon as these words came out, those concubines who did not give birth to princes and princesses all became sad.In fact, having or not having grace is secondary, and having no heirs is the greatest tragedy of living in the harem.

For example, Concubine Yi, when she first entered the palace, the scenery was so good, but in just a few years, the emperor left her behind, and she could blame her for not living up to her expectations, and she really had nothing when she lost her favor. up.

The gathered concubines gradually dispersed, and the concubine Ling stroked the white jade railing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, her hands were still cold under the scorching sun.She looked into the distance, and her thoughts were long.

She was able to be a concubine, but she is still hanging below her knees, and she is the only one in the harem.

It was getting dusk, and the setting sun stretched her beautiful shadow to a long distance, and cast it on the white marble platform, fascinated by it.The palace maid Yaqin stood with her for a long time, and finally persuaded her: "Your Majesty, let's go back too, don't let the scorching sun ruin it."

Concubine Ling said dejectedly: "The empress is about to give birth to a son, so what's the use of my health?"

It was rare for Yaqin to see Concubine Ling so depressed, so she persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, the days are still long. Think about it, from the Taizu Taizong to the Holy Ancestor Shizong, is there any successor who is a descendant?" Prince? What's more, the empress's birth may not necessarily be a little elder brother..."

Listening to her words, Concubine Ling lifted her spirits a little. That's right, she shouldn't just give up so lightly.She was a noble person conferred at the beginning of the tenth year of Qianlong, but within five or six years, she has secured her concubine position, which is already the envy of countless people.
