Tong Bi has a good temper, and after she has said her pain, she no longer feels so resentful. She is also willing to get close to the gentle Lan Qi, and unknowingly speaks her heart: "It would be great if the imperial concubine could be like you. She is my own sister."
, I am stricter with my concubine than anyone else. If you say the same thing, I am very useful to you, but listening to her talk like that, I feel nothing but aggrieved."
Lan Qi said with a smile: "My Majesty, she is anxious because she feels sorry for you. Anyone else would not be able to get into my eyes, right?"
Tong Bin was right when she thought about it. Soon the two of them separated halfway. When Lan Qi arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was chanting sutras. Outside the Buddhist hall, there were several maids waiting on her. Aunt Sumala was not there. She walked around to the small
When I came to the kitchen, I saw my grandma looking at the fire and making soup for the Empress Dowager. Lan Qi smelled that the soup didn't taste good, so she couldn't help but ask: "What kind of soup does grandma make? It smells like medicine."
Grandma smiled and said: "The medicated food is stewed. My master is not willing to take tonics these days. It would be good to stew it in soup so that she can take some tonic. But she is still willing to drink this soup."
"The Empress Dowager should be disgusted by such a strong medicinal smell." Lan Qi joked, saying that the Empress Dowager was almost ready, so she left someone to watch the heat and went to the Buddhist hall together.
Lan Qi always knew everything about her mama. When she spoke, she mentioned that she had just met Tong Bin and said that she didn't know Ping Guiren. However, she only said a few words today and felt that she couldn't get along with her. Speaking of Tong Bin's complaints,
He said to his mother, "The imperial concubine is a bit harsher on Tong Bin. I'm afraid that noble nobleman would pick on her and bully her. I'm sure she won't be able to do anything, let alone complain to her own sister."
Mammy smiled and said: "Master often talks to slaves about why the imperial concubine is so cruel to her younger sister. Later, she thought that maybe she just looked at the other sisters in the palace who entered the palace together and felt bad, and was afraid that she and her younger sister would also leave.
It’s because of the old ways that we are so divided. But after all, we are my younger sisters, so we can’t just ignore her and it’s what it is now.”
Lan Qi thought about the same reason. Regardless of whether the imperial concubine thought of this herself, at least judging from her attitude towards Tong Bin in the past few years, because she was repeatedly scolded by her own sister, no one in the palace gossiped about the sisters. Even if the emperor had
Tong Bin is good, and no one excludes her. They all feel that she is always suppressed by her sister and cannot become a leader.
After the Empress Dowager finished paying homage to the Buddha, Lan Qi accompanied her for a walk in the yard to relax her muscles. She just discussed with her mother-in-law and told the Empress Dowager about this matter. Although they felt it was hard to interfere, after all, it was the Empress Dowager who arranged it in the first place.
It's hard to argue with the Queen Mother's face, but I don't want to watch Ping Guiren bullying Tong Bin. With their tempers, Tong Bin is not going to be eaten alive.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "How can they, sisters who have not been in contact with each other for many years, have the same temperament when one is in the palace and the other is at home? Look at Yinzhen and Yinzuo, they were born from the same mother's womb.
They are all different, there is nothing surprising about them.”
Lan Qi said with a smile: "When I was young, my mother brought my concubine's sister into the palace. She is a carefree and lively little girl, and she is very different from my concubine."
"So, I never expected that this little Hesheli would be as gentle and generous as the queen. Back then, the queen was very young but very sensible. Xuan Ye didn't pay much attention to this marriage earlier. He only knew that as an emperor, he had a
The Queen was his responsibility, and it was not until after the marriage that the Queen was kind, demure, and knowledgeable, and he was gradually moved by it. Wasn't Concubine Wen anxious to cut off her relationship with her family earlier, and didn't want to be bound by them? But she had struggled a lot in those years.
What happened, so what happens now? Queen Hesheli is different. She is not at the mercy of the family, but there is nothing ridiculous. With such a person who knows both cold and hot by her side, her steel heart will be melted.
"
As the Empress Dowager was talking, she couldn't help laughing and asked Lan Qi: "I spoke so well of the Queen, so you won't be jealous of the Queen, right?"
Lan Qi said unconvinced: "In your heart, I am so petty?"
Don't take the joke seriously. The Empress Dowager gave Lan Qi and Grandma Sumala an idea, but whether it worked or not depends on how the person handles it. She actually asked Qin Tianjian to come up with another name and solved Wen's problem.
The imperial concubine's confinement reopened the door of Xianfu Palace.
The Empress Dowager said: "Don't you noble people look down on this or that one who is of low birth? Then let her see what it is like to be noble. But even though the access control of Xianfu Palace has been lifted, people are still sent to carefully watch her movements.
, I have no control over whether she lives or dies, just don’t let her get close to the emperor."
But Lan Qi will never walk through the door of Xianfu Palace again. Even if her elder brothers grow up in the future, she also hopes that her sons will not get too close to the tenth elder brother. She is not a Buddha, and there are times when she cannot tolerate others in her heart. For Wen
My dear concubine, there is no room for change.
Two days later, the Qin Tian Supervisor said that the sun, moon and stars had changed, and there was no longer a danger of conflict. The Queen Mother issued an order to remove the access control of Xianfu Palace and encouraged the concubines to visit more and accompany the imperial concubine during the pregnancy. The emperor also spent his time.
After the ban, he had fully recovered under the care of the imperial physician, and gradually began to favor the newcomers. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also made green-headed cards, but the newcomers had already walked around the Qianqing Palace, but there was no Chu Xiu.
What happened to Mr. Gong Ping? How could Mr. Ping, who had a high self-esteem, be able to withstand this grievance?
The eldest maid next to Tong Bin was named Yuzhi. She came back from Ningshou Palace to pay her respects, and she saw Yuzhi kneeling in the courtyard. The maid under her hurriedly came to complain, saying that Lord Ping had punished Yuzhi to kneel down, just for a few basins of hot water.
, It’s nothing important. People say that beating a dog depends on the owner. But Ping Guiren did this because he didn’t take Tong Bin seriously.
"Get up, for my sake, don't feel wronged." Tong Bin didn't want to go to Ping Guiren to argue with her, so she asked her people to get up and take her back to rest. Yuzhi said: "It's nothing for me, now Ping Guiren is just bullying me.
, how can I bully you in the future? Besides, isn’t the fact that I’m torturing the slaves right now is aimed at you?”
Tong Bin sighed and didn't want to say anything more, but unexpectedly, Ping Guiren was coming from the side hall. When he heard this, he said sarcastically: "The people around my sister are very powerful. It doesn't count to neglect me behind her back. They also instigated the relationship between our sisters in person."
, How many years have we known each other, sister, do you plan to trust this lowly servant and also misunderstand me?"
Tong Bin thought to herself, how did they know each other? They just met once or twice between the mansions when they were still girls at home, and they didn't say much, so they were considered acquaintances? She tried to calm things down with a perfunctory statement, but Ping Guiren did not.
She would not give up until Tong Bin executed Yu Zhi.
When the stalemate was going on, someone came from outside. People from Xianfu Palace came to invite them. They said that the imperial concubine had invited all the sisters to come over for tea. She was busy with the pregnancy in the first month and did not entertain everyone properly. She had never seen the newlyweds when they arrived. It happened that everyone was here.
Get together in the past.
Tong Bin hurriedly agreed, let Yuzhi rest, and brought the palace maid to Xianfu Palace. It happened that Ping Guiren was also very curious about the imperial concubine and the legendary and unparalleled Jue Chan clan, so he quickly followed her. Naturally, she didn't want to go outside.
So I stopped talking about the trivial matters in the palace.
Concubine Wen invited a lot of people, and Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were also honored. Concubine Yi had trouble moving around during pregnancy, and Concubine De naturally had no time to do in Cining Palace. Several other concubines, including Concubine Xi and Concubine An, were also there. After all,
The empress dowager's decree allows the concubines to come to accompany the noble concubine more often. They must make some appearance the first time, and it is not too late to act differently in the future.
The house was full of warblers and swallows. In the late winter and early spring, everyone's clothes were much lighter and new styles emerged in endlessly. However, the noble lady felt that everyone else except her was vulgar and her eyes kept wandering in the crowd.
Looking for the noble Jue Chan. But it is disturbing the noble concubine. Concubine Rong and others were embarrassed to ask each other abruptly. They were unhappy when they heard someone say: "How can I help the noble lady to serve tea?"
Then I saw several people who were sitting at the end of the meeting stood up. A beautiful woman came with a palace maid to serve tea. She came with a graceful figure, spoke and smiled gracefully, her skin was fair and rosy, her eyes were gorgeous but not demonic, and her red lips were as exquisite as red.
Sakura, with her wicker-like graceful figure as she walked, caught Ping Guiren's attention, and knew that this person must be Jue Zen Guiren.
She thought that when she was at home, she had seen aristocratic girls with countless wealth, and she considered herself to be unparalleled in beauty. She also scorned the legend about the Jue Chan family in the palace. How could she have imagined that the legend was true, and she was indeed a stunning beauty who captivated the country.
"Because it is new tea, I was afraid that I would not serve it well, so I spent some time and asked the ladies to try it. If you don't like it, it is only because I am clumsy." Lady Juechan smiled calmly and ordered the maids to serve tea to all the ladies.
, he sat aside and inadvertently cast his eyes on Mr. Ping Gui. He just nodded politely and stopped looking at him.
Ping Guiren touched her bun unconvincingly, thinking that she was fascinated by Jue Chan and marveled at her beauty, but no one looked at her, as if her appearance had become like a plum blossom at this moment.
, I felt that the people in front of me were arrogant and disgusted, and knowing that she came from a humble background, I was even more unconvinced.
Just as the maids were serving tea, she stretched out her hand to tease them. Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui opened her mouth to speak, causing her to miss the opportunity. She only heard Concubine Hui say: "It has only been a few years, and there is already new tea here, as expected.
This is something I dare not compare with."
Concubine Wen sat down, and when she heard such compliments, she smiled nonchalantly: "It's just tea, it's not worth anything. If Concubine Hui likes it, I'll give the rest to you. Anyway, I can't drink tea now."
Concubine Hui gave in, and the other sisters also started joking around, talking about everything from north to south, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves, but in fact, the women were all looking at each other, and everyone had something else in mind. Tong Bi sat aside and kept seeing it.
Mr. Ping stared at Mr. Jue Chan, but the latter was not distracted. He was concentrating on the refreshments in the palace for fear of not taking care of them well, so he did not meet Mr. Ping's eyes at all.
After a long time, when the tea party ended, Tong Bi slowed down a few steps to let everyone go first. She had always had a good relationship with the Jue Chan family, so naturally she wanted to come to her to talk about her worries. She reminded her with a sad face: "Ping Gui has a weird personality.
, I have no one in my eyes, and I don’t know if I will target you in the future. I can’t avoid you even if we live under the same roof, so don’t let her get away with you anymore.”
There are few people in the palace with whom the noble Jue Chan can speak, and Tong Bin is an exception. First of all, he feels that she has a simple and pure temperament, and she is someone who can get along with her. Moreover, due to her earlier experience in Mulan Paddock, they have always been in contact with each other.
Even though Xianfu Palace was closed for more than a month this time, they still helped Tong Bin change the appearance of several embroidered items through the palace maids and eunuchs.
"The emperor has recently renovated people and gone around in circles. It's nothing to do with her. She loses his temper at home every day, and I can't say anything to her. I'm only a few years old myself, and I'm not much older than her. Your Majesty."
The noble concubine always wants me to act like the head of the palace, but I know that I have no future and can't help myself." Tong Bin became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her eyes turned red, "I would rather come here to live with you, to be able to escape.
She'll be fine. These days, the Emperor doesn't come to my place, and I still recite Buddha's name. If the Emperor treats me better, won't she hate me?"
Jue Chan was stunned when she heard this, thinking that if Tong Bi was as powerful as her sister, she would not be bullied by Ping Guiren. Her sister was so powerful back then, and she almost died in her hands, but her own sister was so weak.
The difference between one day and one place.
Tong Bin was afraid that the noble concubine would trouble her people when she returned home late, so she said goodbye and left. She just repeatedly told Jue Chan: "Be careful, she is not easy to mess with. After all, you have the imperial concubine to make the decision here, so don't run into her when you go out."
That's it. But don't be afraid of her if you bump into her. You are both nobles. You are more senior than her, and you even gave birth to the eighth prince."
Mrs. Juechan smiled bitterly in her heart and lamented that Tong Bin had a good heart, but she wanted to remind others, but she couldn't be strong-willed. She couldn't bear it and couldn't help but help. Moreover, it was obvious that Ping Guifei and Wen Guifei were from the same family.
, such people are just paper tigers, so there is no need to be really afraid, so he told her softly: "Madam, let me think about it, if there is a way to make Ping Guiren move away, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, we can't offend her."
, evil people will be punished by evil people."
Tong Bin also knew that Jue Chan was smart, so she couldn't bear to get her involved, so she reminded her out of kindness. She didn't expect Jue Chan to be so kind, so she thanked her profusely: "If you can let her move away, I really don't know."
How can I thank you enough? Even Empress De Fei asked me to endure it. I thought there was no hope."
Jue Chan asked back: "Concubine De also knows?"
Tong Bin nodded helplessly: "Your Majesty advised me to be more open-minded, saying that I am moving in now and it is the Queen Mother's arrangement. If she cannot have a decent reason to move out, it will embarrass the Queen Mother. I know this is true.
, otherwise my sister would not have watched me being bullied, but what could be the reason for decency? Should the emperor give her a concubine position and become the head of the first palace elsewhere? But in that case, wouldn’t her arrogance be the same?
More arrogant?"
When he said this, Xianghe came to see the noble concubine. Jue Chan could not delay and sent Tong Bi out all the way. He said softly to her: "It is difficult to fulfill the decent reasons, but the worst reasons are easy.
If you don't refute the Queen Mother's face and make her have to move out, please let me think about it carefully. But you can't mention this matter even to Concubine De."
Tong Bin agreed repeatedly and said goodbye to her with gratitude. Jue Chan came back to the main hall and saw the imperial concubine in a daze again when she entered the door. When she was close to her, the imperial concubine came back to her senses and sneered: "I thought I was locked up here.
It’s been so long, things are going to change outside, but even if there are new people coming, why is it still the same?”
Even if it takes a long time, it can only take more than a month. How can it change? Jue Chan feels that the harem has not changed much in more than ten years, let alone what Concubine Wen hopes to become, but I heard her say: "
Have you seen the newlyweds? That Ping Gui is so beautiful. Apart from you, I haven’t seen a stunning beauty in the palace for a long time. But she is still so young, and this flower can still bloom for a long time.
"
Jue Chan looked at the imperial concubine, and suddenly a plan came into his mind. Although the imperial concubine was not a bad person, she was on the same level as the noble concubine Ping. It happened that the person in front of him had nowhere to vent his resentment. Wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone?
