Let's talk about Hui Concubine leaving the Jue Chan family. In order to solve the mystery in her heart, she put down her arrogance and went to Rong Concubine's palace. When she entered the door, she heard laughter and laughter. When she walked in, she saw that Yinzhi and Rongxian were wrestling with each other to grab something. They were more than three years old.
The little guy couldn't compete with his seven-year-old sister. He was so anxious that he shouted and screamed, causing the palace maids and nuns on the side to laugh. Concubine Rong was also sitting on the side, looking at the pair of children happily. They were so happy as a family, but they saw
Concubine Dehui felt very unhappy.
"Empress Hui Bin is here." Ji Xin called out, and everyone saw her coming in. Hui Bin also quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "I thought you had a guest here. There is no one to support you in front of the bustling door.
None."
While talking, Rongxian led his younger brother to salute, and she held her arms around him. She smiled and said that she didn't bring any delicious food because she was coming from somewhere else. She had already sent the palace maid back to get it. There was some sweet-scented osmanthus cake that had been steamed in the morning for the children to wait for.
After waiting for a while, he joked a little and hugged Yinzhi, then he and Concubine Rong entered the inner hall, where they sat on the Kang. When Jixin served melon and fruit refreshments, they all withdrew with interest.
Concubine Hui didn't take tea either, so she got straight to the point and said, "I went to see Jue Chan. She is a very nice person. Why can't my sister tell me well? What's wrong with her?"
Concubine Rong was a little surprised. She peeled the longan in her hand and handed it to her, saying: "I heard from the people below that Jue Chan was pregnant for several months, but she always kept a low profile and lived in a remote place. No one saw it, and
Because of the fact that the emperor only doted on her in May, now that the concubine is back, even if the emperor wants to coax the concubine, he will not talk to her again. I don’t know whether she likes her or not, but every night in those days*
*, it’s not surprising to have it in the stomach.”
Hui Bin was startled, and rolled the longan meat in her hand to the ground. She looked at the water stains along the way and was stunned. After a while, she said: "No wonder her eyebrows are more and more charming. I thought she was dressed up, but she is pregnant?"
But what a great thing, why didn’t she say it?”
"Maybe she doesn't have the emperor in her heart." Concubine Rong said softly, "For us, it's not a bad thing, but we must not get into trouble because of it. It would be bad, and you are the most involved."
Hui Bin's face turned pale, and she peeled off a few longans in her hand, causing sticky juice to drip down her hand. She put it down angrily and said, "What a disaster."
"But the dragon seed in her belly is very valuable. If it's an elder brother, she can't raise it herself, so she has to have a place to go." Concubine Rong handed her her handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then said, "Elder brother
I went to my brother's place to concentrate on studying. From now on, you will only see me a few times a year, and you can't ask for orders to see if the child is okay like you did when you were a child. If you feel bored, you can come to my place often, Yinzhi and Rong.
Xianhe is also close to you."
Concubine Hui glanced at her and knew in her heart that Concubine Rong was trying to seduce her. They had been together for more than ten years, and had been hot and cold, with the word "benefit" in mind. They seemed to have a clear understanding of each other, and it was easy to get along. Then she smiled and said: "Mingzhu told me
, when the Three Feudatories are established, the emperor will grant a general amnesty to the world, and the empress dowager will be given a title, and the concubines in the harem may also have great titles. I will forget it. Sister, take Rong Xian and Yinzhi and live in this courtyard.
If it's not suitable, I'll have to ask for a favor for you when the time comes, and it will be more serious to move to the Sixth Palace of East and West."
Concubine Rong smiled happily: "It's quite nice here." She looked at Hui Concubine meaningfully and said, "Of course it's me, the elder sister, who should take care of you. The child in the belly of Jue Chan is best raised by you, Tai Huang.
The Queen Mother is getting older and her ears are softer, so she agrees if she says something nice. Besides, she doesn't like this Jue Chan family. I heard that she scolded Eunuch Li in the garden. It must be okay, and for the sake of
I always want to appease you about big brother’s affairs.”
Hui Bin nodded repeatedly: "We have been here for more than ten years and know the truth. My sister still loves me."
Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Let's find an imperial doctor to show her first. The good news will be announced at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet the day after tomorrow."
In this way, for their own benefit, the two people who had been estranged for a long time joined forces to plot against the Juechan family. However, the Juechan family has experienced ups and downs in life so far. In addition, they have been reading and literacy since they were young and have a broad vision. How could they not have some palaces, how could they be willing to be... They made plans and successfully left Yikun Palace that day and avoided Hui Bin's manipulation. Now she must also plan for her child not to be called Hui Bin E Niang.
During those days at the end of May, while serving in the Qianqing Palace, Jue Chan paid attention to the coming and going time of the inner guards. He also knew that Rong Ruo would not appear in the Forbidden Palace all the time, but he would definitely come to strengthen the security of the inner palace during major festivals. The Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow Juechan could not tell Xianghe about her past with Nalan Rongruo. She just told her: "Master Nalan and I are cousins. You also know that there is no one in my mother's family to rely on. I want to It is impossible to gain a foothold in this harem without a backer. The Mingzhu Mansion is now at its peak, and of course I want to take advantage of it. Didn't you say that I shouldn't be silent? Then for the sake of the child in my belly, I should show my face. "
Xianghe was naive and believed it after being coaxed by her master. She woke up early in the morning on the Mid-Autumn Festival and wandered around the palace. She had met Master Nalan twice before with her master. She recognized him and did not dare to hand over any items or letters. We had to wait until we met in person before we could send the message. After wandering around for a long time, we met the imperial concubine several times. Concubine Wen and others were frightened to Xiang He half to death. Fortunately, nothing happened. Near noon, we finally met Nalan Rong on a palace road. If, and Nalan Rongruo also remembered that this palace maid was someone close to her cousin, he couldn't help but feel worried when he saw her wandering around in a panic.
Pretending to ask where the palace maid had come and gone, Nalan Rongruo came over and called out to Xianghe. Xianghe trembled and said something random, and then said softly: "Sir, can you wait outside Ningshou Palace tonight? My master I'll come out and talk to you."
Tonight's banquet was held at Ningshou Palace, and Nalan Rongruo would definitely strengthen his guard there. But suddenly he heard that his cousin wanted to see him in private. Even though he knew it was inappropriate, he nodded anyway, and then shouted a few words not to wander around the palace. , then led the guards to leave again.
Xianghe breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground. After she recovered her senses, she hurried back to her yard. She was startled when she entered the door. The house was bustling with people. The little eunuch in front of the door said to her: "Empress Rong and Concubine Hui." I came with the imperial doctor."
Xiang He walked into the house and heard hearty laughter. It was Hui Bin saying: "My sister is a blessing. I say Long Live Lord is cruel enough. I like you so much in the summer. I forgot about you here when I was busy." , I came to see you yesterday and felt that you didn't look very good. Today, together with Sister Rong, I decided to bring an imperial doctor to see you. You can rest, we are going to report the good news. The palace is really prosperous now, the Emperor. The Queen Mother must be happy."
Xiang He was standing by the side, and Hui and Rong were surrounded by concubines as they walked outside. Hui concubine raised her eyes and saw her, knowing that she was a personal palace maid, so she scolded her: "I didn't see many people around me when I came. You servants are too much." You are playful, do you just think your master is a good-natured bully? If you no longer have the rules to serve you well, I will send you all to the Department of Punishment for training."
Xianghe was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Concubine Rong took Concubine Hui away. After all the masters and slaves inside and outside the house were gone, Xianghe got up and went into the house. He saw Chang Zai lying softly on the pillow with a look on his face.
It was as dark as death, but there was a little light when he saw her. Before he could say anything, Xiang He came closer and said, "That's it. Your Excellency will be waiting for you outside Ningshou Palace at night."
Jue Chan's pale face turned slightly rosy. She held Xiang He's hand gratefully and said, "Thank you."
But Xianghe was still worried and said softly: "Master, is it really okay for you to meet with foreign ministers in private? If others see it, don't think too much?"
"It won't be in the way, I have a sense of propriety." Mrs. Juechan was full of confidence and ordered Xianghe to turn out her beautiful clothes. He sat and watched her tidy up, and then planned the things for the night. Of course, concubines should not come into contact with male relatives of foreign ministers.
, but speaking openly in front of others, others will see it and won't think too much about it. But if the concubine is allowed to see it, she will definitely think about things she shouldn't think about, and that will achieve her goal. This is just one step.
The chess move was very risky, and the bet was that a concubine of virtue cared about the emperor's face. If the same thing were done to concubine Tong Guifei or concubine Yi, everyone would have known it, and they would not care about the emperor's face.
At this time, Xianghe brought a new sky-blue dress. At first, Juechan had altered the dress for Yibin but never had the chance to wear it. Now that she was pregnant, she thought her waist would be fuller, but after trying it on, it still fit her perfectly.
Xianghe clicked her tongue: "Master, you are so beautiful. Look at the concubine Hui and concubine Rong who came just now. Their heads are covered with emeralds and gems, and their bodies are covered with flowers and birds. But it looks vulgar, very vulgar."
Mrs. Juechan chuckled: "You little girl, do you understand?" She looked at herself in the mirror again, turned around and decided, "Just wear this, Yi Bin and Guo Guiren will be sick to death if they see it."
Xianghe smiled and said, "Guo Guiren is afraid that she won't be able to see her, and the emperor won't let her go out. She deserves it."
Everything was ready, just waiting for the banquet in Ningshou Palace at night. Lan Qi took Yinzuo to wait at Cining Palace. He saw Hui and Rong concubines coming together again, and told the good news that Jue Chan was pregnant. Although the old man was happy
, but didn’t like Jue Chan very much. After the two left, he even comforted Lan Qi: “Don’t feel uncomfortable. The emperor will inevitably be tempted when he sees a young and beautiful woman. What’s more, the more prosperous the royal heirs are, the better. In the past two months, you
I have also seen it. If it hadn’t been for Rong and the others today, who would have remembered that this person is the same as the Dai Jia family from Bu Gui around you in the past."
Lan Qi smiled and said it was okay, and even joked with the Empress Dowager about Xuan Ye, but when she turned around, she murmured in her heart, how could Jue Chan be the same as Bu Guiren Dai, who was innocently and wholeheartedly in this palace, if he hadn't returned
She could calmly understand that their affection existed long before entering the palace. It was indeed the Forbidden City that cut off their affection. In her heart, she couldn't bear to realize that the Zen family existed. Her existence, to put it worse, was cuckolding Xuan Ye.
.
When she thought about it, Lan Qi felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know that she was being plotted and walked step by step into a trap.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in Ningshou Palace that night. Juechan, who had been favored in the summer, reappeared in front of people after months of silence. Everyone in the Sixth Palace knew that she was pregnant. Apart from envy, at this moment
When I saw her, she was dressed in a sky-blue brocade palace dress, with only simple and chic beaded hairpin jewelry. She looked stunning with just a touch of powder on her face. She was naturally beautiful, with a charming smile. What man could not see such a woman?
Tempting.
The Queen Mother sat upright and saw the description of Jue Chan's clothes. She sneered at Sister Sumala next to her: "It's strange, why is she willing to remain silent for such a stunning beauty? If she hadn't had this child, she would have died in that old age.
