The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 227 Blood Red Coral

On the spring day of the 19th year of Qianlong, the emperor and the empress accompanied each other into the Tangquan Palace for a short stay. They didn’t even bring the empress dowager whom the emperor always respected. .

Therefore, the concubines didn't know that the emperor and empress had gone out lovingly again until Shengjia left the Forbidden City.

Even the Empress Dowager of the Compassionate Ning Palace shook her head towards Xiangzhi, saying: "The emperor really has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother."

Aunt Xiangzhi joked, "Luanfeng and Mingming, isn't that exactly what you would like to see, Lafayette."

In the harem, once the emperor and empress left, all the palaces became more and more deserted.The concubines don't have to go to Yikun Palace every day to pay their respects, they just take a leisurely stroll, occasionally pass by the palace gate, sit down and gossip with each other for a while, and the days go by.

On the contrary, Chengqian Palace announced that the imperial physician had come over for several days. Concubine Jia probably contracted a cold, and her sore throat and cough did not improve for many days.

Although Concubine Jia was silent in the palace, she still occupied the position of Concubine after all. The other concubines heard about it and went to visit one after another.

This morning, when Concubine Ling took a chariot to Chengqian Palace, she happened to meet Concubine Shun on the way, and the two went together.

Concubine Ling greeted with a smile, "Sister, after you moved to Changchun Palace, we rarely saw each other. Today is a coincidence."

The concubine Shun said gently: "The empress has gone to Tangquan Palace, so I should go to the Yanxi Palace to pay my respects to the empress."

Concubine Ling smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, they are all sisters of my own family, don't talk about birthright. Speaking of it, the emperor treats the sixth princess really unusually, this time even the twelfth elder brother stayed in the palace. They took Sixth Princess, who is less than one year old, away."

Concubine Shun said indifferently: "The sixth princess looks like the empress, the emperor loves the house and Wu, and even more regards the princess as a treasure."

While speaking, the chariot had already stopped at the gate of Chengqian Palace, and the imperial concubine and the others got off the chariot one by one.

The term "Chengqian" means obeying the will of God. This place used to be the bedroom of Shunzhi's favorite concubine Xiaoxian Empress Dong E, so it goes without saying that it is rich and honorable.

Concubine Shun followed Concubine Ling into the bedroom of Concubine Jia. The indoor floor was made of square bricks, the ceiling was painted with double phoenixes, and a four-character plaque inscribed by the emperor was hung in the middle of it.

Concubine Jia was sitting on the bed, and the court lady Qiongfang was serving her medicine, the hall was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

"I'm just suffering from the cold, so I've troubled my two younger sisters to come all the way here." Concubine Jia coughed lightly, frowned, and asked Qiongfang to take down the empty bowl.

Concubine Ling and Concubine Shun talked with her for a while, and the smell of medicine in the dormitory gradually dissipated, but Concubine Shun smelled a scent of pepper paint and couldn't help but glanced at the dormitory.

On the long carved table in the hall, there are two blue and white porcelain vases, and a blood-red coral is placed on the table, with intertwined branches and an extremely majestic shape.

Concubine Shun got up and walked towards the coral plant, smelled it closely, and found that the fragrance came from the coral, she couldn't help laughing: "The coral plant of the imperial concubine is really beautiful, such a large and lush plant should be very valuable."

"Concubine Shun, you have good eyesight, this is sent by Concubine Ling to Chengqian Palace," Concubine Jia turned to Concubine Ling and said, "I just said it is expensive, why spend so much money."

Concubine Ling smiled and said: "Precious things are worthy of your status as a noble concubine, your empress. Otherwise, it will look ugly if it is placed in my Palace of Yanxi Palace."

Concubine Shun glanced at Concubine Ling, smiled, then sat down peacefully again, without saying anything more.
