"Master Long live just doesn't know what's going on here, what's that?" Huan Chun refused, lowering his head and muttered, "I won't talk about it, so Master Long live should know what's going on here and what you are doing."
He only feels bad when he is sick."
Lan Qi had no choice but held her arm and said: "If this is passed on, what will other people think? I must say that I can't tolerate the Jue Chan family, and I am trying to win back the emperor's heart. I don't care what others say.
But I'm not in the palace, so those words have to reach the emperor's ears? Huanchun, tell me, what does the emperor like about me?"
Huan Chun raised his head and looked at his master, speechless for a moment. Lan Qi continued: "I am satisfied with the blessing I have now. I don't want to cause him any trouble in this life. Even if I have hardships and grievances, I will endure them. He
He is a monarch and an emperor, and the whole world belongs to him, let alone one or two women? Of course I am jealous and resentful in my heart, but I can't let others tell these words to the emperor, and I can't let him guess and confuse him. I am also happy.
Okay, whatever grievances you have, you have to put them in front of him in a real way, Huan Chun, can you understand?"
Huan Chun nodded, as if it was because of the illness that people became more mature than before after recovering from the illness, or maybe it was the accumulation of bits and pieces over the years. I didn't feel anything when I looked at it every day, but now when something suddenly happened, I was exposed.
Out.
Lan Qi's eyes were firm, her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she calmly told Huan Chun: "Go and tell Eunuch Li, I didn't let him say it, and if anything happens, it will be blamed on me. Don't let the Emperor be distracted by what's going on here.
, let the emperor deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River with peace of mind. Secondly, you tell him, I just don’t want to be talked about behind the back by other concubines. Now that the Juechan family is favored, they must not wish for others to be bad if they themselves are not good. If they know that I am sick,
Maybe you are having fun secretly, why should you let them have fun?"
Huan Chun wrote down everything one by one, walked a few steps and called the other maids to help his master go back. He waited until he went ahead, and after half an hour he saw Eunuch Li coming out with a disgraced face. When he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he rushed to ask:
"How are you, Miss De's concubine? Huanchun, you are such a real girl. Why don't you find someone to send the message back to me? I am no longer a human being inside and outside."
Huan Chun quickly said everything his master said. Eunuch Li was obviously a little embarrassed. Huan Chun said: "I will return to the palace in a few days. Just wait for these days. The slaves here will take good care of you and everything will be fine. Your Majesty will provide relief."
Importantly, when the floods in the south of the Yangtze River have passed and we have returned to the palace, let Empress Dowager De concubine speak to the emperor herself if she has anything to say. If the empress dowager is angry, she has her own reasons for talking to her grandfather and grandson. We will step in and pass on the message.
What's going on?"
Manager Li was a little shaken then. Huan Chun tried to persuade her a few more words, and couldn't help complaining: "Eunuch Li, you are really the one who always says that your heart is for my concubine. How long have you been away from the palace?
Well, it’s a good thing that the royal concubine in the palace didn’t make trouble with you?”
Eunuch Li had just been trained so badly by the Empress Dowager that there was room for Huan Chun to push against him. He grinned and said, "Why don't you come and step on my little hooves? You have seen me delivering it to Qianqing Palace all these years."
Who are you, Lord Long Live, as long as I don’t take another look at him, even if he wipes his neck in front of the Qianqing Palace, I won’t raise my eyes. If you have the ability to say this to Lord Long Live, tell me, do you think you are loyal? Little girl movie
, it is serious to go back and coax Empress De concubine well, Jue Chan is always beautiful when she is beautiful, but her temper is not lovable, how can our Lord Long Live lose respect for a pretty face? You will know when you come back and take a look."
Huan Chun felt excited in his heart and asked with a smile: "So, the emperor's constant favor towards Jue Chan is nothing more than meager?"
Eunuch Li glanced at her: "Who knows what will happen to me when I return this time? You are the one who takes good care of the good concubine, the empress, and she is so good. The empress dowager didn't even get hit by the rain, but the concubine fell ill first.
, it’s not that you didn’t serve me wholeheartedly, I’ll take care of you when I get back.”
Huan Chun was bored and didn't dare to talk anymore. He smiled and coaxed him a few words, and emphasized that he should go back without saying anything. After resting for a while, Eunuch Li immediately set off back to the palace. He thought about these things in detail along the way, but his heart was still wavering.
, but when he returned to the palace and saw the ministers coming and going frequently, the emperor was worried about the disaster in Jiangnan, so he decided not to mention the matters in the palace.
Let’s talk about the recent heavy rains in the capital, and even worse in Jiangnan. One after another, urgent notices from 800 miles away were sent to Suzhou, and there was a flood and epidemic in Jiangyin. There were heavy rains in Gaoyou for several days. Wuxi was flooded, and Huishan and Jiangnan were flooded.
The city walls collapsed everywhere, the houses were submerged, the crops and seedlings were flooded, the autumn harvest could not be harvested, and the casualties of the people were countless. The rich and prosperous countryside was full of victims. Xuan Ye's eyebrows were deeply touched when he saw it. Every day, he only summarized the disaster relief matters with the ministers, and the officials of the six ministries
Without rest, the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, and we worked for four or five days before preliminary plans for disaster relief were made.
The reason for the hasty relief this time was that after the Gyeonggi earthquake last year, the imperial court worked out a set of disaster relief measures. When preparing for floods before summer, they wanted to use last year's methods to deal with possible disasters this year. Who would have thought that this time in Jiangnan?
Floods were rare in a century, and the measures taken in the past year could not keep up with the extent of the disaster for the people. This caused a group of ministers to panic and scramble. Fortunately, there was still money in the treasury to provide relief. Although they were busy day and night for more than ten days, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after this incident, Xuan Ye suddenly realized the way to be prepared for danger in times of peace. He blamed himself for being too self-reliant and indulged in pleasure. After the initial establishment of the Three Feudatories, he relaxed his spirit. His momentary negligence caused thousands of people to suffer. He led all civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven.
After offering sacrifices to heaven and praying, I often thought about my mistakes in the Qianqing Palace, or talked with the ministers. I did not enter the harem for the whole of June, and the green-headed sign of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was covered with a layer of dust. In the blink of an eye, it was July, and Concubine Tong was in the concubine Rong.
After being reminded, I mentioned it to the emperor and asked when he would welcome the Empress Dowager back to the palace.
In the harem, the court suffered a great disaster after Jue Chan's favor. Although the blame was not placed on her, the emperor was busy and had no time. After a few days of glory, she was forgotten in that quiet corner.
The curious concubine went to visit her, but when she came back she said that she had a cold attitude and was not good at talking, and that it was pointless to go there. Gradually, no one came to visit her anymore. Her wish was fulfilled, and she could live a pure life from then on.
Everyone also said that if it had not been for this disaster, if she had continued to be favored like this, Concubine Tong would not be able to sit still in Chengqian Palace. In the past, Concubine Tong could not even tolerate concubines who were not as beautiful as her. How could she tolerate such a beautiful woman?
She is a most beautiful woman, and everyone who has taken a close look at Jue Chan says that she is indeed a true beauty.
In the courtyard where no one had seen her for a long time, Empress Hui Bin came to visit with her maids. Jue Chan greeted her at the door. Hui Bin didn't have time to sit down, so she stood and looked at her carefully, tut-tutting: "That time in the sewing room
I still clearly remember what that little girl looked like. She is completely different after her eighteenth transformation. You are a natural beauty. I believe what Madam Mingzhu said, your mother-in-law is also a beauty."
Jue Chan was tired of hearing the beautiful words of praise. She didn't care if other people came to visit and sit around. Love came or not, only Hui Concubine. She had been waiting for her since she had been in the Qing Palace for several days, and she had been waiting for her promotion. As a guest, she knew that Hui Bin would not give up easily, and it was a busy time before, so she had no good chance to intervene. Now that the emperor was gradually turning away from her in order to provide disaster relief for the court, it was time for Hui Bin to come.
Xiang He served tea, and Hui Bin asked her and her maids to wait outside. After drinking tea, she got straight to the point and said: "The emperor is busy these days and can't think about anything in the harem, but the things ahead are almost done." , anyway, there are disasters in the four seasons every year, and the emperor cannot keep an eye on them all the time. In a few days, the Queen Mother will return to the palace. You should go to Qianqing Palace to show your face these days, and don't let the emperor forget you. This place is really too secluded, why don’t you ask for a favor and move to the East and West Sixth Palace to find a place with good feng shui?”
Mrs. Juechan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has not yet moved into the Sixth Palace of the East and West. How dare I look at you and sleep with you? Thank you very much for your kindness. I am very happy here."
"Although I am not in the East and West Sixth Palace, I also live in a lively place, but your place is too remote." Hui Bin smiled awkwardly. Now she and Rong Bin have not yet moved into the East and West Sixth Palace, although they are both the first palace lords. However, since they had lived alone in their own courtyards in their early years, the emperor probably saw that they lived well and did not think of moving. To put it bluntly, they would never have any chance to have children, so they did not need more space. But she cannot rule the first palace, which has always been an uncomfortable knot in Hui Bin's heart. Now that Jue Chan said it without hesitation, she couldn't help but feel an extra layer of disgust towards her.
Hateful and disgusting, for Hui concubine, people worth using cannot be said to be liked or disliked. In her eyes, there is no difference between them and bloodless tools, so she added: "It is not necessarily difficult to live in obscurity. I'm afraid that once you are favored and become lonely in a blink of an eye, someone will step on you, and such a life will be truly terrible and unbearable. I advise you to have some snacks, you don't have to let the emperor favor you to heaven, but with your beauty and talent, the emperor will think of you from time to time. It's easy. You and Rong Ruo were childhood sweethearts. He was the most talented person in front of the emperor. You must have a lot of ink in your belly. I know you could read and write before you entered the palace as a maid. The emperor used to like de concubines. Jian Tianla Watching her write and read, you must be much smarter and more capable than her, why not take advantage of it?"
Mrs. Juechan slowly raised her eyes to look at Hui Concubine, and smiled coldly: "I have forgotten it."
I have forgotten those years, those beautiful times in front of the flowers and under the willows. She was a female but full of poems and books. Rongruo led her to travel all over the world. She was praised as the number one scholar at a young age, but she was still a child after all. The family just thought the girl's movie was fresh and interesting, and since they didn't hesitate to take a liking to the female celebrity, and were willing to attach themselves to the Mingzhu Mansion, they allowed her to follow Rong Ruo and recite poems, just treating it as a child's play. However, the family's financial situation fell into decline. , the tree falls and the hozens scatter, who still cares about whether she has studied.
"My concubine moved from the hard labor to the sewing room, and then followed the noble Nala, and then to the Yikun Palace. All these years, I have only been with the needlework." She took the unsewed purse on the side and put the needle in her hair. She rubbed her bun for a moment, kept her fingertips, and continued, "I can't even write a gift note now, and I don't know how to hold a pen and sharpen ink. During those few days in Qianqing Palace, the emperor didn't even mention this. , Your Majesty, it’s better not to worry about it.”
Hui Bin choked on this sentence again, feeling unhappy and snorted: "I'm doing this for your own good."
Mrs. Juechan put down the needle and thread in her hand, raised her eyes and smiled calmly: "I am doing it for myself, I am waiting for you to come, my neck is sore from looking forward to it, I think I am too lowly to come, but I am looking forward to your visit. , so that I can make everything clear. I only have this face, my heart is empty, and my soul has gone. I don’t know where it has gone. She is just a walking corpse. You and other ladies see that I have a good life in Qianqing Palace. What is going on with my concubine and the emperor, do you want to hear it?"
"What are you talking about, do you mean you are asking me to inquire about your bed?" Hui Bin was angry, and when her eyebrows were tangled, a fine line appeared at the corner of her eyes.
Jue Chan shook his head: "You have misunderstood. What I want to say is that the emperor and I are nothing more than the kindness of rain and dew. Don't say that I don't want to be used by you. Even if I am willing to do anything for you, I can't help you. Just follow me. I have been with you for more than ten years, don't you understand what I mean by these words?"
How could Hui Bin not understand, but she was unwilling to give in, even if the favor of rain and dew was better than the fact that she couldn't even walk through the door of Qianqing Palace, but this woman actually said it so straightforwardly, what she didn't want to be used, and what she didn't want to be used ...The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. Hui Bin suddenly stood up and made a move to leave. Then she took a step forward and turned around and said to her: "You also know that I have been in this palace for more than ten years. Do you think you can say these things?" Can you escape my control with just one sentence? Let's just wait and see. If you have the ability, you can act like a virtuous concubine and be on an equal footing with me. Otherwise..."
Mrs. Juechan also stood up and looked at her with a smile: "I have nothing to do with you. If you want to use the past to make me submit, the worst is possible and you will not be able to get away with it. Or, you want to Should I go to persuade the emperor to summon you to his bed, or should I go and assassinate the emperor?"
"You're crazy!" Hui Bin was horrified, her whole body started to tremble, and she almost reached out to grab her collar. However, she finally calmed down and gasped heavily, "The days in the palace are still long, so you have to endure it slowly."
The two parties broke up unhappy. Hui Bin, who had always been dignified and dignified, walked out angrily. Xiang He outside was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head. She only waited for the people to go away and closed the courtyard door before coming back to see her master and asked with concern: "Is Empress Hui concubine giving you a hard time?"
Jue Chan shook his head and smiled: "What else can she do to make things difficult for me?" But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sense of depression in his chest, his stomach was turbulent, and heat surged up. He turned around and lay on the table and vomited, until he was vomiting all over his intestines and stomach. Wait for it to calm down. She came down and lay on the bed, listening to Xianghe saying that she was going to ask the imperial doctor. Jue Chan counted her fingers for a while, and her whole body became tense. Her monthly letter was from the beginning of May to the present...
In the Palace of Qianqing, Xuan Ye, who had been busy for months, could hardly breathe a sigh of relief. A few days ago, the imperial concubine came to ask for an order to welcome the Empress Dowager back to the palace. Today, he summoned his brother to come in and wanted him to pick him up. At this moment, Fu Quan entered the Palace of Qianqing. Before he could sit down and see Eunuch Li coming in, he said, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and pack some high-quality blood swallows for people to take to the palace."
Xuan Ye asked curiously: "I just want the emperor brother to pick up the emperor's grandmother back to the palace, why do I need to send things there again? The emperor's grandmother wants to enter the blood swallow?"
Fuquan was even more surprised and said: "A few days ago, my wife came back with a letter asking how her family was doing. She also asked if there were any ready-made blood swallows to send over. She said that Empress Debin's cough and asthma have not been getting better, so she asked her to send them to her. I have already taken some from the palace. I just went to the palace to see the imperial hospital to buy medicinal materials. I thought of this and thought that the ones in the palace must be better, so I came to remind you. Doesn’t the emperor know?"
Xuan Ye frowned and turned his eyes to Manager Li: "When will the concubine be coughing and wheezing? I asked you the day before yesterday how the palace was, but I didn't see you say anything. Could it be that I asked you who is in front? The emperor's sister-in-law is writing a letter from home in the back?"
Fuquan sat down and drank tea and said, "I have been here for seven or eight days. Didn't it happen in May that Empress De's illness happened? Doesn't the emperor know?" After saying that, he looked up and saw Eunuch Li lying on the ground, shaking so hard. As if sifting through chaff, he smiled and said, "Eunuch Li, what's going on?"
Fu Quan and Xuan Ye have never seen him so angry since they became emperors and ministers, but he never expected that it would be because of a woman, and Manager Li did pass. Fortunately, Concubine De was ill. If the Empress Dowager He concealed his illness and refused to report it, fearing that Eunuch Li would be dead before he left the Qianqing Gate. This also made Fuquan himself very worried. He didn't know if he had said the wrong thing and got into trouble. Later, when he saw the emperor, he had nothing to do. He quickly ran away.
As for General Manager Li, fortunately he has been with Xuan Ye for many years. Although Xuan Ye was angry, he was not so angry that he wanted to kill him. After hearing Eunuch Li explain the whole story, he was just sulking alone. Eunuch Li waited outside the door in fear. It was not until sunset and dusk that someone from Chengqian Palace came to ask the emperor if he could go over for dinner tonight, so he bravely came in. He saw the emperor sitting at the table looking at the folders, pointing to a pile of approved memorials and a pile of He didn't have time to read and said: "Return these and pack these up. You go and deliver the message. I will go out of the palace tomorrow to personally welcome the Empress Dowager back to the palace. There is no need to make too much extravagance. Don't send any news for the time being. Your Majesty." Grandma will definitely send someone to stop me."
Eunuch Li's heart was finally put back into his stomach, and he quickly packed up the papers. He thought to himself that the emperor might not be going to take his grandmother home, but should be visiting his concubine. When he came back from the palace, the emperor had indeed asked A few times, he believed it after he said it, and the court was too busy with affairs. The lights of Qianqing Palace were not turned off for three or four days. Before, if he blamed the emperor for being attached to his new favorite beauty, he could still say a few words, but in the days to come, it would be terrible. He didn't even enter the harem because he was too busy. I don't know how the palace views this. Since Prince Yu and Fujin are asking for things from home, it shows that the disease has never been cured.
"When I get to the garden, I don't want to disturb the people inside, or at least don't let Lan Qi know that I've been there. I just want to see her, and I may not bring her back. It's better to recuperate because it's clean there, but she has a fever that lasts for more than a month at a time. If things don't get better, what are the imperial doctors doing?" When he set off the next day, the emperor finally said what was in his heart, and scolded him again, "Go to the imperial hospital and take a few imperial doctors with you, and all the doctors who are waiting there will be brought back to hold you accountable."
