Chapter 231 Revisiting the past
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I... I wanted to see the fifth elder brother last night, but Concubine Xian refused. I was anxious for a while, so I had to take out a dagger and threaten Concubine Xian. If
The concubine was not allowed to take a look at the fifth elder brother, so she committed suicide. The concubine offended the empress, and the empress said... Since I don't want to live a low life, what does it have to do with her? Even if I die, my death will be in vain. I couldn't be angry for a while.
He was about to commit suicide. If my concubine hadn't arrived in time and pushed me, I might have... [ ]" Concubine Yu couldn't help but burst into tears after saying this.
The emperor frowned slightly and was about to say something, but Concubine Yu raised her tear-stained face and cried: "Your Majesty... I know that the emperor has given the fifth brother to Concubine Xian to raise him, and he will never be with me again.
It has nothing to do with it, but... after all, he is the child I gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy. He is my own flesh and blood. Over the past year, I have seen him less than five times, and the child is so sick.
His concubine is so powerful that I am so anxious... I wish I could suffer for him. Your Majesty, I don't ask for anything else. I only ask that the Emperor allows me to see Yongqi, and I feel at ease. I beg for your mercy!"
"Your Majesty, you gave Yongqi to Concubine Xian to raise, but you didn't say that Concubine Yu was not allowed to visit him. Although Concubine Yu is too reckless, she still loves her son very much." Seeing that the emperor looked bad, the queen persuaded her softly.
road.
The emperor looked at Concubine Yu with a gloomy expression on his face, and then said after a while: "If you want to visit Yongqi in the future, you should report to the queen first. The queen will make the decision!"
"Yes, I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for your grace and to the Queen for her grace!" Concubine Yu couldn't help but burst into tears. She looked at the Queen with gratitude in her heart.
"You're seriously injured, go back and rest!" the queen smiled at Concubine Yu.
"Yes, I, my concubine, retire!" Concubine Yu slowly withdrew.
As soon as she left the dormitory, she saw Concubine Xian walking over from a distance, with a sneer on her lips, and then she pretended to be frightened and went up to her: "My concubine, please give my regards to Concubine Xian!"
Concubine Xian looked at her intently for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: "Muyun, look at this time, the emperor and the empress must be having breakfast, let's go back to the palace first!"
"Yes, empress!" Mu Yun's face changed slightly, and then he helped Concubine Xian go.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Concubine Yu said with a slight blessing. After Concubine Xian walked away, a smile appeared on her face, and she left Changchun Palace with the people around her.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go see the Emperor?" On the way back to the palace, Mu Yun saw that Concubine Xian was silent and was very confused, so she stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Concubine Yu has already taken the lead. Look at her secretly happy look. She must have gained something. If I go there, it will be in vain!" Concubine Xian said with a slight frown.
When Mu Yun heard this, he knew that Concubine Xian was angry, so he did not dare to speak. The servants behind her were even more frightened.
"Think you can deal with me this way? I won't let them get what they want. Muyun, come here!"
"What are your orders?" Mu Yun immediately stepped forward.
Concubine Xian whispered a few words into her ear, and Mu Yun immediately followed the order and left.
After Concubine Yu came out of Changchun Palace, she did not go back to her Yonghe Palace, but went to Wei Ning'er's Yanxi Palace.
"Seeing that sister is so happy, she must have gained something!" Wei Ning'er saw the joy on Concubine Yu's face, and immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Thanks to my sister for giving me the idea this time!" Concubine Yu said excitedly, holding Wei Ning'er's hand.
"Sister, there's no need to be polite, it's just that we strike first, so we have to be more careful in the future!" Wei Ning'er said softly.
Seeing this, Concubine Yu almost told Wei Ning'er that Concubine Xian was threatening her with Brother Wu, but she didn't know how to speak, so she gave up.
After this incident happened, the palace became much more stable. Although the emperor never reprimanded Concubine Xian, he tactfully told her not to stop Concubine Yu from visiting the fifth elder brother. Concubine Xian readily agreed, which impressed the emperor.
Several months passed in succession, and Concubine Xian did not deal with Concubine Yu. The fifth elder brother was also very healthy. Everything seemed peaceful, but Concubine Yu knew that Concubine Xian would not give up so easily. She would not dare to give up even for a day.
main idea,
On April 8th, the seventh elder brother Yong Cong would have turned one year old, and the emperor had already issued an order to arrest Zhou.
When the princes captured Zhou, they put paper, pens, bows and arrows, treasures, toys, needlework, etc. on a plate and let him grab it at will, so it was also called "Grabbing the Sun Plate".
Whenever the prince turns one year old, he seizes the Xunpan. As usual, he uses jade to display two things: two jade fan pendants, a gold key, a silver box, a pair of rhinoceros sticks, an arc, a arrow, one in the study room, and a Xinpan.
"Utensils, a fruit table", the eunuch will prepare a sign in advance and send it to the general manager of the house for use. The items on the princess, emperor's grandson and emperor's granddaughter are the same as those for the prince, except that the princess and the emperor's granddaughter do not need to use arrows.
That's all.
The emperor personally carried the seventh elder brother to capture Zhou, and the seventh elder brother finally lived up to expectations and captured Hu Ya and the Four Treasures of the Study.
"Hahaha, Yong Cong, come here!" The emperor picked up the seventh prince with a smile on his face.
"Emperor, Yong Cong will definitely be a promising child when he grows up!" the Queen Mother also said with a smile.
"That's natural, otherwise how could I safely give him the power of the Qing Dynasty!" The emperor said more and more enthusiastically.
"Your Majesty!" The Queen couldn't help but shout in a low voice and shook her head slightly.
The emperor immediately suppressed his smile and said sternly: "Of course, none of my princes are bad. There are successors to the Qing Dynasty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the concubines immediately agreed.
The Queen Mother just smiled and didn't say anything.
When the prince captured Zhou Zhixi, the emperor, empress, princess, concubines, etc. would also reward them with treasures and other things.
"Here comes someone, bring the things that the Ai family has prepared for Brother Seventh!" the Queen Mother ordered to Lu Mo beside her.
"Yes!" Lu Mo immediately took the silver plate from the little palace maid. Inside it was placed a statue of Amitayus Buddha, a piece of sapphire Ganoderma lucidum, two white jade and jasper rings, a crystal rhombus brush, and a plate of small coral beads.
A white jade fairy boat, a sapphire baby drum, a silver crystal three-layer box, an agate crane-shaped water container... The rewards are all good, which shows the Queen Mother's love for the seventh prince.
The emperor and the concubines also gave many precious rewards, and Wei Ning'er also prepared Ruyi hat rings, jade ornaments, gold ingots, ivory flower pouches, cotton jackets, shoes and socks, etc. as expected.
"In three months' time, Concubine Jia's eighth elder brother will also be one year old. The Ai family is so happy!" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Jia and said with a smile.
"Yes, the Queen Mother!" Concubine Jia responded respectfully.
"Okay, the Ai family hopes that all the concubines can flourish for the royal family." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Yes, the Queen Mother!" Everyone responded respectfully.
After another commotion for a while, the seventh prince was probably tired and started to cry a little. The emperor and the queen immediately hugged him and left. After the queen mother left, the concubines also dispersed.
After leaving Bishui Yuntian, Wei Ning'er went straight to Zuixin Garden.
"Sister, your concubine!" Concubine Xian called her out.
"What are your orders?" Wei Ning'er bowed slightly and said.
"My sister has been serving the emperor for two years, right?" Concubine Xian said with a smile.
"Yes!" Wei Ning'er didn't know what she meant, so she responded with a smile, but she was very alert in her heart.
"Is my sister still taking that pill these days?" Concubine Xian asked casually.
"Your Majesty, you are talking about the pills to help you get pregnant. After the last incident, I dare not take them anymore!" Although Wei Ning'er had a smile on her face, her heart was cold. Why did Concubine Xian mention these old things at this time?
I mean, is it possible that you still want to slander her with this matter?
"Don't you think it's strange, sister? I haven't taken the pills for a long time, but now my stomach doesn't move at all..." Concubine Xian looked at her with a half-smile before walking away.
Wei Ning'er stood there quietly for a while before she regained her composure and said to Bingruo and others beside her: "Go back to the palace!"
Returning to Zuixin Garden, Wei Ning'er sat on the soft couch for a long time and then said to Bingruo: "Bingruo, tell Xiao Yizi to invite Eunuch Hu!"
"My lord, do you suspect that there is something wrong with the pills that Eunuch Hu helped me prepare?" Bingruo's expression was full of horror, and then she said in a trembling voice: "My lord, you can't believe what Concubine Xian says!"
"I have my own opinion, go ahead!" Wei Ning'er shook her head slightly and said.
"Yes!" Bingruo had no choice but to go find Xiao Yizi.
About half an hour later, Hu Shijie entered Zuixin Garden under the leadership of Xiao Yizi.
"May your concubine be blessed!" Hu Shijie said with a thousand blessings.
"Bingruo, please step back, don't let anyone in!" Wei Ning'er ordered Bingruo.
"Yes, empress!" Bingruo and Xiao Yizi immediately retreated.
"Brother Wenhao, get up and sit down!" Wei Ning'er looked at Hu Shijie who was kneeling on the ground and smiled.
"What orders do you have from your servant?" Hu Shijie stood up, but did not sit down. He stood respectfully in front of Wei Ning'er.
Wei Ning'er looked at him and looked away for a moment. She didn't meet Hu Shijie often in the palace, and Hu Shijie seemed to avoid her deliberately. The two rarely interacted with each other, but Wei Ning'er didn't believe that Hu Shijie would harm her.
, that’s the person she grew up with. If she can’t even trust him, who else can she trust?
"Brother Wenhao, last time I asked you to get me the pills from outside the palace, are they reliable?" Wei Ning'er asked after pondering for a moment.
Hu Shijie suddenly raised his head and looked at her, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head and said: "Madam, this medicine is 30% poisonous. Please think twice. If you continue to take it, I'm afraid it will be bad for your health. In addition, I was out last time."
After doing something like that, I’m worried that someone will notice if I take it again!”
"Brother Wenhao, I mean, who did you ask to prepare the pills? Is he a reliable person?" Wei Ning'er asked in a low voice.
"Why do you ask, is it possible...that there is something wrong with the pills?" Hu Shijie's expression changed drastically.
Wei Ning'er didn't say anything when she heard this. Thinking of Concubine Xian's words not long ago, she felt a little weird.
"Your Majesty, my servant has prepared the pills in a prestigious pharmacy in the city according to your Majesty's instructions. I will go and check them now!" Hu Shijie took a deep breath and said.
"Take Qingyan and find a doctor to give her a good look. Last time she swallowed most of the pills in the box to save me!" Wei Ning'er suddenly said.
