In the second half of the bonfire party, apart from Tong Bin who sat beside the emperor, the other one was the incomparable beauty Jue Chan. She sat quietly beside the emperor like a shining sapphire, magnificent and colorful. Not demonic, with a natural demeanor and elegant demeanor.
The male family members did not dare to look at her anymore, while the emperor's women all gnashed their teeth with hatred and said to the concubines: "I didn't expect this to happen. Come on, what else will we have before returning to the palace?" thing?"
Concubine Xi was not willing to be ridiculed by her, and retorted: "Sister, don't forget how you treated Master Jue Chan a few days ago. If she hates you, I'm afraid you won't get a good harvest."
Concubine Jing turned pale with anger and said bitterly: "She dares, but she is only proud these days. What will happen to her when she returns to the palace?"
"Maybe, everyone in the palace is waiting for birth, who will serve Long Live the Lord?" Xi Bin sneered, picked up the wine glass and left the table, warmly went to propose a toast to the Jue Chan family, and the Jue Chan family all Take it calmly and show no signs of timidity.
The guests and hosts had a good time, and after the banquet dispersed, the bonfire was still burning brightly. The guards changed shifts, and they still strictly guarded the safety of the emperor's concubines. Here, Shen Wan returned with Li, and Li comforted her and said: "Brother Nalan Like my husband-in-law, they would not worry about the safety of the emperor if left to others. I had the honor to accompany him once or twice in the past, saying it was the emperor's grace, but every time I lived alone, and they were tired every day. It seemed like I was sick. I came back to rest and fell asleep. When I woke up, I washed my face and changed my clothes and went out again. I had no time to relax for a moment. I feel sorry for you to follow me every day."
"Rong Ruo told me before I went out that I knew the situation here, but I didn't expect them to be so hard." Shen Wan sat aside, recalling everything at the dinner just now, the smile on his face was unnatural and thoughtful. He said, "I looked at Rong Ruo from a distance. He was always watching what was going on around him. He didn't take a second glance at any of the excitement in the venue. It was very hard just to watch."
When Xu Xu talked about the fun tonight, Li laughed: "I heard from the other ladies two days ago that the concubines Jing and Xi were dissatisfied with Empress Tong for going over them in everything, and they were thinking of ways to make her make a fool of herself tonight. Naturally, this It's also nonsense, let's just take it as a joke." Mrs. Li sat down next to Shen Wan, poured tea and ate it herself, and murmured, "In the end, not only did Empress Tong Bin not make a fool of herself, but she made this noble Jue Chan look bad, sister. You know, Lord Jue Chan is a relative of Mrs. Mingzhu’s natal family, and she was often at Mingzhu Mansion before entering the palace. It’s a pity that her family has failed, but she is doing well today.”
Shen Wan listened quietly, of course she knew, she knew everything. Jue Chan was shining brightly tonight, and everyone present was outcompeted by her. Looking back on the embarrassment and desolation that day, it seemed that they were completely two people. If that day If the noble Jue Chan looks like this today, she may not be able to say those words. The woman locked in Rongruo's heart is indeed extraordinary.
At this moment, someone sent a message from outside, saying that Mr. Cao was coming back after his shift. Shen Wan immediately stood up to say goodbye, walked out of the tent, and was about to go back to his residence. He glanced back at where the emperor's concubines were, but he didn't know when Rongruo would be back.
As the night progressed, Rongruo led a patrol near the imperial tent. He suddenly saw a group of people walking in front of him in a hurry. Naturally, he stepped forward to ask who it was. When he got closer, he found that it was Empress Tong Bin. He hurriedly bowed and stepped aside. Tong Bin He hurriedly walked to the imperial tent, and what came out facing her was the noble Jue Chan in a lake-blue flag outfit.
Tong Bi stopped for a moment and asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"
Jue Chan smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that I'm not feeling well, so the emperor invited you to come."
"That's good, I thought you pissed off Lord Long Live. You go back first and I'll come find you tomorrow." Tong Bin reassured herself and immediately went into the tent. Mrs. Jue Chan leaned over and waited for her to leave before turning around to leave.
, unexpectedly bumped into Nalan Rongruo, who was leading the team. The two looked at each other. For a moment, everyone or things around them no longer existed. They stared at each other intently. A gust of wind blew down the flag next to them, waking them up.
Rongruo calmed down, took a lantern nearby and called to the little eunuch in front of the door: "It is inconvenient for the noble Lord Jue Chan to walk alone. You hold the lantern and send the noble man back."
The little eunuch took the order and came to invite Mrs. Jue Chan. She nodded slightly and walked away. Rong Ruo stood aside with her head bowed. The beauty slowly walked in front of her. A familiar scent floated in the wind, which was her usual scented powder.
After all these years, nothing has changed.
"Lord Nalan." Hearing his cousin speak suddenly, Rong Ruo was startled. He raised his head involuntarily, only to see the person in front of him stop and turn around at some point, and said calmly and calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty. The Emperor's safety cannot be ignored. Tonight, we will have a good time."
There are many drunk people, so we must keep an eye on the sentry and not be negligent."
The high-sounding words were like instructions from the emperor's concubine. It was the first time that Rong Ruo heard her speak to him like this. It was the first time that he felt that the woman standing in front of him was so noble and graceful. Even though her status was insignificant in the palace, she spoke with intention.
Her self-respect will indeed impress the viewer. When Rongruo sees that her eyes are clear and clear with no trace of tears, and her clothes, jewelry, and hair are all in good condition, you will know that no matter why she can't continue to accompany him, at least the emperor has not made things difficult for her.
"I remember." Rong Ruo clasped her fists and bowed. She lowered her head and saw the blue flashing in front of her eyes. The fragrance in her nose also faded and she walked away.
Standing up again, he only saw a touch of blue in the distance that became increasingly blurry. Rong Ruo took a deep breath, as if the pain of strings cutting through his heart had long ago made him numb. He didn't know what kind of emotion he was feeling at the moment, but he saw that she was living with dignity.
, he was satisfied when he saw that she could be stable.
But tonight's radiant light did not change Jue Chan's situation. The women all knew that she was "driven" out of the camp by the emperor that night. In the days that followed, besides Tong Bin, the only person who accompanied the emperor was actually Xi's concubine.
As for the concubines, it seems that this stunning beauty's skills at the bonfire assembly astounded everyone, but the emperor was not tempted at all. No one could figure out why, but the Juechan family, who seemed to be treated unfairly, was calm and calm.
When the emperor returned to the palace in two days, everyone in the palace was ready to pick him up. Once the emperor went out, everyone in the palace had to relax for a few days, and the imperial concubine gave birth smoothly without any accidents, which made everyone
You should breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise if something happens to the imperial concubine, you will not know what to do in the days to come.
On this day, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui came to report to the imperial concubine who was still in confinement about the emperor's return to the palace. Naturally, the imperial concubine was too lazy to listen and dismissed them quickly. When the two left Chengqian Palace, Concubine Hui said softly
: "I took a look at the little princess and she didn't look good."
Concubine Rong motioned for her to keep her voice down, and then she said after walking far away: "Everyone in the palace knows that we are going to have a hard time, but don't say anything, lest the imperial concubine will be unhappy and say that we cursed her child."
As soon as he finished speaking, people from the Imperial Hospital suddenly rushed over. The palace maid looked like Lu Zhu was leading the way. Ji Xin followed and asked a few words, and then ran back and said anxiously: "Empress De Fei fell down."
I fell down, Yonghe Palace is in a hurry to ask for an imperial doctor."
"Did you fall?" Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were both surprised. No pregnant woman could withstand a fall. They quickly followed her to see what was going on. Everyone in the Yonghe Palace was in a panic. Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui entered the room, but they were surprised.
Seeing that the pot-bellied Lan Qi looked calm, and seeing that they still had some guilty consciences about doing bad things, she turned back and glared at Lvzhu and the others and said, "What did you bring Sister Rong here for?"
Concubine Rong came up to her and said fiercely: "What, you still don't want to say anything?" She turned around and asked the imperial doctor if Concubine De was okay. The physician looked at her again and again and asked Lan Qi many questions before she dared to tell Concubine De that Concubine De was okay.
.
After the imperial doctor left, Concubine Rong scolded Lan Qi a few words. After all, she was older and had a good relationship on weekdays. Concubine Hui did not dare to speak like this. She heard Concubine Rong scolding Lan Qi as if she was lecturing her own sister.
, I couldn’t help but click my tongue.
Lan Qi smiled softly and begged Concubine Rong: "Sister, don't be angry, and don't be arrogant. It's just an accident. I got up on my own. It was Huanchun and the others who were so nervous. Don't let Cining Palace do that."
You know, the Empress Dowager should be anxious again."
Concubine Rong scolded her: "Well then, don't let this happen again. The Emperor will be back soon. When the Emperor comes back, I won't care if you climb trees or walls. Don't make any mistakes now."
Concubine Hui also said at the side: "Isn't that right? Before going out, the emperor told Sister Rong to take good care of her. My sister must not cause trouble to Sister Rong."
Concubine Rong smiled disdainfully: "It's no trouble, I just need to worry more." Then she reached out and tapped Lan Qi's head, "You can't hide this from the Emperor, just wait to be scolded."
Huan Chun brought tea and simply invited the two empresses to sit down. Later, when Zhongcui Palace heard that Imperial Physician Xuan of Yonghe Palace, several concubines came over to visit. Suddenly, the crowd became lively, and they all sat and chatted.
Talking about the events in Emperor Mulan's paddock, some reports came back here and there. Behind Concubine Hui was the Mingzhu Mansion, which gave her better information. She seemed to mention the events there casually, and mentioned that at the bonfire gathering, the Jue Chan family shocked everyone. Several people present
There was a bit of embarrassment on their faces. After that, the sisters dispersed. Bu Guiren walked slowly for a few steps and stayed alone and said to Lan Qi: "She is just a good-looking girl. The emperor used it as a vase for people to watch. Anyway, she is beside the emperor outside."
It's not her but someone else. Don't feel uncomfortable. It's important to have a good pregnancy. Concubine Hui is also really worried that you are not jealous enough, so she will forcefully open her mouth and feed you? What's the point of saying those words? "
In fact, Lan Qi was nothing. Even if she was unhappy because the emperor was seduced by Jue Chan's beauty, this harem was originally a world where three thousand beauties lived together with one husband. Xuan Ye was good enough and affectionate to her, although she didn't have that kind of mind
Although he looked down upon everything, he still had the sense to know what was appropriate, so naturally he would not get angry because of Concubine Hui's words.
"If I remain unconvinced, how will the rest of the palace live?" Lan Qi laughed it off and didn't care at all.
But after Lord Bu left, Huanchun brought people to pack things. In order to make his master happy, he said with a smile: "If there is really something about Lord Juechan, I think that as soon as Master Long live comes home, he should come to see you first."
