Chapter 138: One Palm
After Concubine Xian saw him from a distance, she ordered the people around her to leave the shoulder carriage.【】
"Your Majesty wants to take a stroll in the garden, you should just wait here!" Mu Yun ordered the maids and eunuchs around him, and then winked at Dehai.
Dehai nodded slightly and said, "Please follow me and wait aside!"
In the Yikun Palace, the only people that Concubine Xian trusted were Mu Yun and Dehai. Although the others had not betrayed her, they had to be on guard against others.
When Hong Zhou saw her coming, he came up to her with a smile on his face: "Min Ruo, you're here!"
"He Prince!" Concubine Xian said quietly.
Hong Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "It doesn't have to be like this between us!"
However, Concubine Xian smiled and said: "When we meet by chance in the garden, we must abide by the rules!"
Ever since she met Prince He at the Rehe Palace last year, Concubine Xian warned herself not to have anything to do with him in the future to avoid getting into trouble in the future, but now... what she wants is not here.
Live peacefully in the palace until your old age.
Amma is getting older and older, her brother has no future, and her family cannot rely on her. Her only choice is to live with Prince Hong Zhou.
Although they had fallen in love with each other ten years ago, today, ten years later, she has lost her heart for him, and what about him? Concubine Xian doesn't believe that Hong Zhou still has her in his heart.
Nowadays, they are just using each other to get what they need.
"I was really flattered that you asked Dehai to come out of the palace to see me a few days ago. I once said that you can come to me whenever you need it, and I will do my best!" Although Hong Zhou felt a little disappointed, he still smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty has found any clues?" Concubine Xian asked anxiously.
"Yes... this matter is not a secret between Wei Mansion and Fucha Mansion. Wei Guiren and Fu Heng are old acquaintances. She lived in Fucha Mansion for a year before entering the palace, and the two fell in love!" Prince He said this
Looking at Concubine Xian intently, the strange light flashing in her eyes made her tremble, and she immediately averted her eyes.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble. I have to go to Cining Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother and Concubine Tai, so I'll take my leave!" Concubine Xian nodded slightly and was about to leave.
"Has she ever listened to your orders?" At this moment, Hong Zhou asked.
"Well, he is a smart person!" Concubine Xian responded without stopping.
Hong Zhou looked at her retreating back and clenched his fists tightly. Even though they were strangers, he still couldn't let her go. Is this fate or calamity?
Concubine Xian never thought that when she went to Cining Palace, the emperor was also there. After gathering her thoughts and saluting everyone, she sat aside.
"The Ai family sees that Concubine Xian is looking good these days. The Ai family was really worried a few days ago!" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Xian and said with a smile.
"I am scared!" Concubine Xian immediately stood up and said softly.
"Is Concubine Xian feeling unwell?" the emperor asked.
"Emperor, you haven't gone to see her for more than half a month, so of course you don't know!" The Queen Mother frowned slightly.
"I was negligent!" The emperor smiled when he saw the unhappy expression on the Queen Mother's face.
"Emperor, please don't think that the Queen is too talkative. The Queen and Concubine Xian were both chosen by the Queen for you. Although the Queen is good, Concubine Xian is not bad either. You can't be too favorable to one and favor the other. The Ai family heard that you have recently
I often go to the nobles of Wei. In this palace, special favors are a taboo!" the Queen Mother said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is my married wife, so I should dote on her. As for the noble lady of Wei, I just played chess and drank tea with her, and never called her to sleep with her. How can I say that I dote on her exclusively?"
I felt slightly unhappy in my heart, but I never showed it in front of the Queen Mother.
Hearing what the emperor said, the queen mother pondered for a moment and then said: "That's all, the Ai family will not ask about the harem in the future. The emperor can take care of it himself. But now the emperor has only a few heirs, so we must keep it in mind!"
"Yes, I have remembered it!" the emperor replied with a smile.
At this moment, the concubine Geng who was beside the Queen Mother smiled and said: "That bastard Hong Zhou entered the palace earlier, why is he still nowhere to be seen?"
"Don't worry, sister, how can you lose it in the palace? That child Hong Zhou is peeing and having fun, and now he doesn't know where to go to watch the fun!" The Queen Mother patted her hand and said with a smile.
"Sister, is this palace a place where he can move around as he pleases? He is now over thirty and has several children, but he still hasn't changed his temper. Sister, I'm really worried!" the concubine sighed.
"You, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. When we get old, we should worry less and enjoy our old age!" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Yes!" The imperial concubine nodded slightly, but she couldn't let it go in her heart. She only had such a son, so it would be useless if she didn't worry about him.
"Lu Mo, go and see if Concubine Qian is here!" The Queen Mother ordered Lu Mo beside her.
"Yes!" Lu Mo responded and retreated.
"Emperor, the Ai family has not seen Hongzhan for a long time, and today I specially asked Concubine Qian to bring him here to have a look!" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Hongzhan has often been praised by his master in the study in recent days, and he is also top-notch in horseback riding and archery." The emperor was filled with joy when he mentioned his young brother.
Hongluo was the youngest son of the late emperor. In the third year after the emperor succeeded to the throne, Prince Zhuang Yunlu petitioned the emperor to adopt Hongluo to Yunli. The emperor agreed and ordered him to inherit the title of Prince Guo.
Of the sons of the late emperor, only the current emperor, Prince Hongzhou and Prince Guo Hongluo are left. The emperor values sibling love very much, so he is especially kind to his two younger brothers.
Seeing this situation, Concubine Xian knew that it was not appropriate for her to stay here at this time. In addition, Prince Hongzhou was coming soon. She did not like to meet him in public, so she found an excuse and stood up to leave.
.
She just walked outside Cining Palace and saw Hong Zhou coming towards her. She nodded slightly and walked over without stopping.
After returning to Yikun Palace, a palace maid informed her that her eldest brother's side, Fu Jin, had arrived and was waiting for her in the side hall.
"Shuangqiu, send someone to invite her to the main hall!" Concubine Xian said to Shuangqiu.
"yes!"
After a while, Irgen Jueluo's Shu Shu came to the main hall, saw Concubine Xian sitting high on the throne, and said a blessing saying: "Shu Shu greets Concubine Xian, may your concubine Xian be blessed!"
"No gifts, I'll give you a seat!" Concubine Xian looked at Shu Shu with a smile on her face.
"Cousin!" Shu Shu refused to sit down and walked directly to Concubine Xian, looking at her with an aggrieved face.
"What's going on? Is your direct descendant Fujin looking down on you again?" Concubine Xian said with a smile.
"No...sister has always been nice to me, but...sometimes she scolds me when I don't understand the rules. That's for my own good!" Shu Shu's childish face was filled with a smile.
"Why is that?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly.
She, a distant cousin of hers, always came to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but she didn't believe that this time Shu Shu came to pay her respects without anything going on.
"Cousin, tell me, what should I do to get my eldest brother to come to my room?" Shu Shu asked, holding Concubine Xian's hand.
Concubine Xian pulled her hand away coldly, and the smile on her face seemed a little cold: "If I knew this, I wouldn't have to stay in this cold Yikun Palace every day."
Since the death of Imperial Concubine Huixian, she had been looking for opportunities to get close to the emperor, but this time she ran into a wall, which made her feel sad.
She originally thought that as long as she deliberately got close to the emperor, she would be favored, but now it seems that she has had her imagination run wild.
"Cousin, don't be angry, Shu Shu will never ask again!" Seeing that she seemed angry, Shu Shu immediately said in a trembling voice.
"Forget it, remember, don't be reckless in what you say or do in the future, otherwise if something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you!" Concubine Xian patted her hand and said softly.
"Yes... However, yesterday, the eldest brother and Balzhuer drank two more drinks and started talking nonsense when they returned to the house. Sister Fujin was waiting by his side, and I was clumsy and couldn't help, but...
But when I got to the curtain, I heard our master keep calling Ning'er... Ning'er... that's not
Wei Guiren's maiden name? Even now, my eldest brother still can't let go of that bitch. Cousin, what should I do now? Since my wedding, my eldest brother has never entered my room.
We haven't consummated our marriage yet, it would be embarrassing to tell anyone!" Shu Shu sobbed softly at this point.
"He has never consummated his marriage?" Concubine Xian took a breath of air, and then said solemnly: "He has never consummated his marriage with you, what about Fujin Moyaqi?"
"Sister Fujin said that my husband and she had consummated their marriage. He said that I was still young, so... that's why he avoided me. But cousin, I'm almost fifteen, so he can't always keep me
Treat him like a child!" Shu Shu said anxiously.
"Well, I know about this. I will remind the eldest brother when I find an opportunity. Don't cause trouble, so as not to cause trouble to the eldest brother!" Concubine Xian said earnestly.
"Yes!" Shu Shu nodded slightly and chatted with Concubine Xian for a while before leaving Yikun Palace.
On the palace road, she bumped into Wei Ning'er who had just come out of Changchun Palace.
After the emperor left, Wei Ning'er went to the queen's palace to chat with the queen. She never thought that Lu Yunxi was also there, so she talked for a while longer.
"Sifu Jin!" Wei Ning'er didn't like this Ergen Jueluo Shi Shu Shu, but nodded slightly.
"What a coincidence, I never thought I would meet Mr. Wei here!" Shu Shu looked at Wei Ning'er, her face full of hostility.
Wei Ning'er didn't know where her hostility came from. After thinking about it, it was probably because of the incident between her and her eldest brother.
"Zi Fujin, I have some important matters in the palace, so I'll leave first!" Wei Ning'er didn't want to get entangled with her.
"Mr. Wei, I'm afraid he feels guilty after seeing this Fujin!" Shu Shu said coldly.
Wei Ning'er paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "Zhou Fujin is worrying too much. Logically speaking, although I am a noble person with a low status, I am also Xi Fujin's elder. How can any elder feel guilty when he sees this junior!"
"Stop pretending. You think I don't know. You must be laughing at me right now!" Shu Shu said bitterly.
"Fujin is so worried!" Wei Ning'er glanced at her, a warning flashing in her eyes. If Shu Shu was so aggressive again, don't blame her for being rude.
In this deep palace, if you just tolerate it, you will make those who bully you worse.
