"Master, please lie down for a while. I will go and take a look. Maybe Eunuch Li will send another message right now, and Guo Guiren will be mad." Xianghe turned around, put down the mirror and was about to go out. Jue Chan reminded her, "
Be careful, if I see you I will turn around and take it out on you."
Xianghe promised with all his heart, skipped away, and ran back happily without waiting for a cup of tea, chatting about the things ahead. As expected, Eunuch Li sent someone to say that Long live the Lord wants to read the book tonight, and Guo Guiren is not needed.
When he went to bed, the person who came passed the message and left. Guo Guiren was still immersed in the tub at that moment, so angry that he almost sank to the bottom and drowned.
The swelling and pain on Mrs. Juechan's face gradually subsided. Listening to Xianghe's words, her heart became a little calmer. Xianghe hummed to relieve her qi, but she herself felt nothing, even if Mrs. Guo Luoluo really drowned.
She didn't seem to feel any happiness in the bathtub. She didn't know if it was not enough for her to resolve her long-standing grievances, or because in her opinion, even if Guo Guiren was really dead, it would not be able to offset her insult to Rongruo.
At this moment, she just sighed and advised Xianghe: "Don't show it on your face, be careful they cause trouble."
However, Xianghe leaned on her and asked: "As soon as May and June are over, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will come back. By then, Empress Dowager De will also come back. Master will have no chance. I think you are different from the first two."
It's okay to fight for position. If I fight with Empress Dowager De in the future, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will not agree."
Jue Chan smiled bitterly: "How can it be so serious? I dare not say that to others in this palace, but Empress De is a good person. Look at Dai Yasheng in Zhongcui Palace. Does she live the same life as me? Besides, I don't care.
What kind of favor, I don’t want Guo Guiren to have an easy time, and I also want to leave here.”
Xianghe said with a smile: "When the master comes forward, will I reward the slave with a pair of golden ears?"
Jue Chan smiled: "What do you want this for? It's not worth much."
Xianghe said verbosely: "My mother is the daughter-in-law of the youngest son. She always whispers that my grandma gave my eldest aunt a golden earring. When I was a child, I promised to buy it for her when I grow up, but I have not saved anything since I entered the palace for several years.
money."
Jue Chan got up and picked out a pair of golden earrings from the jewelry box and gave them to her: "This is what Empress Huibin gave me before. I don't like wearing gold either. Take it back to your empress and keep it well."
It's here. When my life gets better, I will find an opportunity for you to go home. If you don't go, you will have to come back. If you don't come back, you will be beheaded."
Xianghe was overjoyed and asked his master again and again if he really didn't want it anymore. Master Juechan opened a brocade box wrapped in layers of red silk, and inside lay a jade bracelet. It was thin and narrow, and the jade color was stagnant.
It was turbid and rough, and it didn't look like anything valuable. Xianghe leaned his head to take a look, spread out the golden eared jade in his hand and said, "I think this is more valuable."
However, Mrs. Juechan put the bracelet away carefully and said, "This is worthless. It's just fake jade you can buy on the street. But I don't care about it. It can't be compared with any gold or silver."
Of course she would not tell Xianghe that Nalan Rongruo gave it to her. When she was a child, he secretly took her out of the house to play. One was a young man and the other was a young lady. They could carry whatever money they could with them and wander around the world stupidly.
, this bracelet was exchanged by Rong Ruo for the real jade pendant hanging on her waist. When the two children returned home, they were beaten hard by the adults. They asked Rong Ruo where the jade pendant had gone. He gritted his teeth and said he didn't know, but he looked back.
He smiled and said to her: "I will take you out to play next time."
I was so young at that time that I didn’t know much about love, but those years were so precious when we were simple and sincere to each other. Later, Ama committed a crime and the family was separated. He was sent to the palace as a slave.
If he tried his best to find out, without telling him, Amma transferred him from the hard labor place to a sewing room with a relatively better environment. He would also try his best to establish himself based on the skills taught by Er Niang, hoping that one day he could go to his house after leaving the palace.
By her side, Ke Huibin sent her to the dragon bed with her own hands, cut off her love and ruined her life.
"Even if I am tortured to death, I will never be manipulated by Hui Concubine." Thinking of these painful past events that tore out people's hearts and lungs, Jue Chan spat out these words hatefully, which frightened Xiang He into pushing her, "It's so good.
What's wrong with you?"
Jue Chan shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I'm tired of thinking about the past and planning the future." Then he supported Xiang He and said, "If you are going to endure some hardships in the past few days, you must grit your teeth with me and hold on."
Yes, there will be good days waiting for us in the future."
The master and servant here are looking forward to the future with high ambitions. Guo Guiren in front of him was so angry that he almost collapsed in the bathtub. He was lifted out of the hot water by the palace maids. His whole body was limp and weak. He had been eating and drinking for so long. He was originally angry.
The blood was low and she was almost sick. Yi concubine rushed over to see her. After leaving Tao Hong and others, she said: "It's a good thing you didn't go. Otherwise, if you don't have the strength, the attendant will make a fool of himself. Don't be angry. Your Majesty.
If something really happens, you can nurse it for a few more days and I'll ask Taohong to make you some soup to replenish your qi and blood."
Guo Guiren just lay on the bed and cried, sobbing vaguely: "All the slaves in the room are laughing at me..."
It is inevitable to see jokes. The most beautiful thing for a woman in the harem is to be able to accompany the emperor. But the most embarrassing thing is something like saying that she wants to meet, but then regretting it halfway. Of course, Guo Guiren hasn't gone out yet, so he can't
It's too embarrassing, but those who went to the upper half of the dragon bed and were pushed back are really embarrassing.
But there are exceptions. The Wuya family in the Yonghe Palace was whipped by the Empress Dowager, and was expelled from the Qianqing Palace by the emperor. She even didn't see the emperor for a month or two, but she was still favored by the emperor.
For other people, once or twice, this life would be over. Guo Guiren is now worried about whether this life is over for him as well.
After some persuasion, Yi Bin went back to her room. The ice in the room had melted. Little eunuch Taohong Zhangluo moved in a new one. She accidentally saw her master sitting on the sofa. The proud smile in the corner of her eyes and eyebrows made her feel chilled.
The nice words of sister and sister are still in my ears, but now I can laugh like this. The deep palace is really a place of tigers and wolves, what are blood relatives? Naturally, Taohong will not think too much. They are servants and just watch their master doing things.
It’s done.
At this time, thunder rumbled outside, and a heavy rain poured down without warning. This heavy rain also fell in the palace far away from the Forbidden City. The lotus flowers were growing in the garden lake here, and the raindrops fell on the ground.
On the lotus leaves, there is a rapid and messy crackling, but among such annoying sounds, there is a melodious guqin breaking through the rain curtain, which is not affected by the sound of the rain at all.
Prince Yu Fujin and Prince Gong Fujin braved the rain to come to see the scene on the Empress Dowager's side. They walked across the winding water bridge and faintly heard the guqin amidst the mess of fallen lotus leaves. Prince Gong Fujin exclaimed: "De concubine."
The empress is not here to serve the Empress Dowager. She is playing the piano when she sees the world. She is here to recuperate, and we are here to serve others."
Prince Yu Fujin looked over from a distance. On the other end of the water bridge was a pavilion standing in the water. The gauze curtains around it had been damaged by the strong wind and rain and rolled into thin strips. The people who used to be vaguely inside were now clearly visible.
Can see, Prince Yu Fujin smiled: "Empress Debin promised to the Empress Dowager that she would learn to play it for her. She practiced hard every day, but she also did a lot of work on her hands. Otherwise, we would not have time to take a nap while crooked.
?”
Prince Gong Fujin said wistfully: "I thought if she wasn't so free, we wouldn't have to be here to meet the occasion. I'm thinking about home. Those foxy girls might seduce the prince as soon as they go out, and there might be a big commotion at home."
"
"Listen to my sister-in-law, don't worry about those things, otherwise Chang Ning will be really annoyed. What good fruit will you get?" Prince Yu Fujin became more open-minded. He pulled his sister-in-law and continued walking, and persuaded her, "Neither of us have any problems."
Yes, you can't guard your master, let the little hooves crawl on your head, but so what, we are the mistress of the family after all, and those people are just slaves, the prince will like new people in a few years, and they will be rampant
It won’t be long, but you and I will always be the matrons of the family, who can replace us?”
Prince Gong Fujin said: "But I always feel bad in my heart. My chest is full of breath every day, and my life is boring."
The two Fujins passed by and Lan Qi, who was playing the piano in the pavilion in the distance, also saw them. However, both the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother were chanting sutras at the moment. In fact, there was no one there. It would take another half an hour to get better, so
She just continued to strum the strings without moving, saying that it would not be too late to leave after the wind and rain stopped.
When I came to the garden, I heard the piano master playing the piano, and I accidentally revealed in front of the Empress Dowager that I wanted to learn. The old man actually granted her permission, and even ordered me to learn it if I wanted to, so that I could play it to her later.
She then worked hard and studied hard, and even the piano master praised the concubine for her high understanding. She thought to herself that she had listened to Concubine Tong playing the piano for many years, and naturally she had learned some music on her own without a teacher.
Since mid-March, two months have passed in the blink of an eye. All ten of De Bin's fingers have been rubbed with skin. Now her fingertips are getting more and more comfortable brushing the strings. At first, she was stumbling and was laughed at by the Empress Dowager. Now she can do it in one breath.
The old man was very happy to be able to play a complete song, and he didn't want her to take care of trivial matters. He asked her to study hard, saying that it was a good thing to be able to calm down and rest her mind.
At this time, Huan Chun took off his clothes and gave them to Lan Qi to wear. Lan Qi pushed her hand and said no, she wanted the rain to wash away the heat to feel comfortable on a hot day. She gently touched the strings with her hand, but she thought thoughtfully.
He said: "I don't know if Chengqian Palace has been playing the piano frequently in the past two months, but I won't be able to play it when I go back. The imperial concubine will definitely be angry if she hears it." He didn't know what he was thinking, but seemed to be talking to himself, "Si ah
If I often listen to the imperial concubine playing the piano, if he likes it, I really want him to listen to me playing it once."
The rain was so loud that Huanchun didn't really hear what the master said. He just saw her feeling sad, so he smiled and coaxed her: "Master, do you want to be the emperor?"
Lan Qi glared at her and smiled shyly: "Of course I have, can't I still think about it?"
Huan Chun smiled: "I heard that the emperor has only been in Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace these days, and no one likes him. Isn't Master very happy?"
Lan Qi raised her chin and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Two days after this joke, the heavy rain finally cleared up, and the heat in the Forbidden City was washed away. It was a rare two days of refreshing, so Concubine Tong regained her addiction to drama and spent two days in the Chengqian Palace. Xuan Ye certainly had no objection to inviting Liu Gong to watch the play. Summer boredom was no fun, so it would be nice if they could be happy for once.
After the summer, Yibi gradually became able to move around, and she delivered soup to the Qianqing Palace for two consecutive months without missing a day. The emperor did not forget it, so he asked Eunuch Li to send a message saying that she no longer needed to rest. Naturally, it was the emperor who went to report the matter, so Concubine Tong invited guests to the theater that day, and she and Guo Guiren came with the little princess.
Yi concubine did not go out for a long time, but she allowed Tao Hong to extend her kindness in private, and the low-ranking concubines were still willing to get close to her. Moreover, Princess Kejing was cute and cute, which made the fourth prince like it very much. He kept shouting "Sister, sister, sister" " She walked around the wet nurse. The imperial concubine was naturally happy to see her son happy, and she was much more polite to the Guo Luo Luo sisters.
Everyone was watching the play in a lively manner, but no one noticed that Mrs. Jue Chan herself came dressed freshly and sat quietly at the end of the banquet. She waited until everyone had dispersed before letting Yi Bin and Guo Guiren see her. .
There were so many people outside that Guo Guiren couldn't get angry, so he went back to Yikun Palace angrily. As soon as he entered the palace, before the door was closed, Guo Guiren rushed over and pushed her to the ground and cursed: "Did I take care of you when I went out?" Stop running around? Why are you going to Chengqian Palace? You have a face like a vixen, and you are not afraid that the imperial concubine will tear you apart?"
However, Mrs. Juechan slowly got up on her own and responded calmly: "When the imperial concubine came to send invitations that day, I also received them. The imperial concubine invited me to go, and I dare not not go."
"Bullshit!" Guo Guiren became more and more arrogant and blurted out dirty words. Knowing that a slap in the face was not good, he kicked her in the leg. Jue Chan leaned back and fell down. He just heard Guo Guiren cursed, "Bitch, are you worthy of being invited by the imperial concubine? Do you not believe that I chopped off your feet?"
Jue Chan lay on the ground, raised her head slightly, and saw someone coming in from the door. She lowered her head again, with a smile on her lips, and heard Eunuch Li asked awkwardly: "What's wrong, Guo Guisheng is so angry? "
After that, panicked voices were heard, and Yi Bin and Guo Guiren hurried over, saying, "I, my concubine, are joining the Emperor."
Jue Chan felt very at ease. Shortly after Yi Bin and Guo Guiren left in the afternoon, when she wanted to take the opportunity to go to the sewing room to ask for something, she met a servant from Qianqing Palace who said that the emperor wanted to come here to sit down after the show. She She promised that she would tell Concubine Yi later, but she turned around and did not go to the sewing room. She dressed herself up and followed Zhou Zheng to watch the show. She counted the time and tried her best. If the emperor could catch this scene, it would be her luck. If he didn't, she would There are other plans.
With God's blessing, the emperor came at the appointed time. Guo Guiren's unclean words just now may have tainted the emperor's hearing.
"Are you okay?" Jue Chan was thinking about this when his arm was suddenly held by someone, and the emperor's unfamiliar but not unfamiliar voice rang out. He was asking himself, "Can you still get up?"
Jue Chan's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He stood up from the ground tremblingly and raised his head slightly to glance at the Holy Driver.
Xuan Ye also took a closer look at this woman for the first time. The beauty he saw made him frown involuntarily. He didn't expect that there was such a stunning beauty in his harem.
