"Didn't that matter spread in the palace? I saw that they were all polite today. I thought I would see faces gloating about the misfortune." Concubine Wen felt proud for no reason, "Originally, then.
If this kind of thing spreads, no one will be ashamed, so I know they can't do anything to me."
Jue Chan knew that the concubine had no intention of reflecting, so these words naturally followed her thoughts, but she had been thinking about what she had just thought about, so she continued what the concubine said: "I have not heard that the palace
There is someone here who is making irresponsible remarks to you. The person who is busy in the palace recently is that noble man."
Concubine Wen frowned: "Queen Hesheli's sister? The emperor likes her?"
"Not necessarily, I haven't turned over the sign yet." Juechan secretly calmed down and said with a smile, "You also mentioned that she is the sister of Queen Hesheli. She also sees herself in the same way. I heard that even though she is just a noble person,
But I always feel superior to others.”
Concubine Wen said disdainfully: "He's just a nobleman."
Jue Chan's expression did not change, and he continued to speak normally: "I heard that I was very angry about this, saying that she was the sister of Queen Hesheli and the prince's biological aunt, how could she be compared to other sisters in the palace.
"
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Other sisters?"
"I also heard what Xianghe said nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Young nobles are inevitably arrogant. Let's just not get close to each other." The Juechan family retreated to advance, waiting for the noble concubine to take the initiative to ask her.
"Does she think that her sister is the original queen and my sister is the successor, so they can't compare?" Concubine Wen's eyes were filled with coldness and she said disdainfully, "She didn't even scan her ancestral tablets to look at them.
Is the lintel of our home worthy of talking to our Niu Hulu family?"
Noble Concubine Jue Chan made up her mind and decided not to continue, but to take a breather first, and advised Concubine Wen to be calm and not hurt the child in her belly. Then she said something else to change the subject. Concubine Wen talked about it the most, naturally.
Is she really abandoned by the emperor? Jue Chan patiently coaxed her to comfort her. Now she wants to find a place for Tong Bin, so there is no harm in spending more time.
In the blink of an eye, it was early March, spring was warm and flowers were blooming, and the imperial garden was in full bloom. In previous springs, the emperor would decide where to spend the summer, and this year was no exception. The emperor planned to go to Shengjing in late May or early June. The news spread, and among the concubines,
Naturally, some people are looking forward to traveling with them to escape the summer heat, but there are still new people here this year, and the places to accompany them are even more scarce than in previous years.
Lan Qi had already said that she couldn't go. She wanted to stay in the Forbidden City to spend the summer with the Empress Dowager. The emperor went to Shengjing, not because he was really afraid of the heat and wanted to go there for comfort. Naturally, there were all the big and small affairs of various Mongolian ministries waiting for him.
To deal with it, she said that she didn't have much fun there and missed the palace, which was very boring. The Empress Dowager couldn't resist her and relied on her to be by her side, so she didn't urge Lan Qi to go with her this time.
As for the emperor, although he hoped that Lan Qi could stay with him, his grandmother was old and he didn't trust anyone except Lan Qi. He could only agree with her to compensate her well in the future and go somewhere else, this summer.
It was aggrieved that she did not go with her. As a result, it was almost certain that Concubine De would not go to escape the summer heat. All the concubines were happy because of this. The most favored Concubine De was not there. Just like in Mulan Paddock before, other women would have the opportunity to
Approaching the emperor.
And at the beginning of March, Ping Guiren, who had been neglected by the emperor, finally had the opportunity to enter the Qianqing Palace. Although he did not sleep with him in the true sense, he finally got to talk to the emperor. After all, he was a young and beautiful person, at least that night.
She didn't make the emperor hate her. She was taught by her family how to please the emperor as early as at home. Although she seemed difficult to get along with among the concubines, she would never behave like that when facing the emperor.
But even so, the emperor was still indifferent to her. Not only did he not mention her identity as Queen Hesheli's sister, he even completely ignored it. That night, Ping Guiren felt that the emperor just treated her as an ordinary woman and a family member.
It was clearly said that the emperor had a deep affection for his sister and would look up to her because of it, but since she entered the palace, nothing had ever happened that was in line with what her family said. Her pride and dignity were completely unnecessary.
Jue Chan spent some time on this matter. He first asked Tong Concubine to be patient for a few days, and then asked Xiang He and others to spread some jokes in the palace, saying that it was easy for Ping Guiren to go to bed, but was returned intact.
In the night, this was a great shame and humiliation. Almost all the new entrants to the palace were gone, and Ping Guiren still had a blank sheet of paper.
Sure enough, the humiliation was unbearable. Ping Guiren lost his temper in Chuxiu Palace every day, beating and scolding him behind closed doors. People outside did not know, and people inside did not dare to spread the word in shame. Tong Bin was even a little bit hurt by the commotion.
It was impossible, but she believed in the words of Lord Jue Chan and gritted her teeth and endured. Finally, she waited until Lord Jue Chan told her what to do. In order to drive out Little Hesheli once and for all, she had the courage to do as she said.
It was a bright and sunny day. I usually wanted to go for a walk in the garden, but I was afraid that the strong wind would stir up pollen and catkins. It was rare that I felt comfortable today, so Juechan asked Concubine Wen to go for a walk in the garden. Concubine Wen was too lazy to appear in front of others recently.
Although she had no intention of introspection, it was inevitable to feel guilty. She didn't want to go at first, but Jue Chan said: "I heard that the emperor often goes for a walk recently. If he doesn't send someone every day, he will go and pick up a few flowers and send them to Ci.
Ning Palace is for the Empress Dowager to enjoy."
Concubine Wen was really moved. She hadn't seen the emperor for a long time. Even though she was afraid of being rejected by him, she always wanted to see him again and ask him personally. When she heard that she could meet the emperor unexpectedly in the imperial garden, she was moved.
Noble Concubine Jue Chan secretly sighed in her heart. It wasn't really how smart she was, but for people with strong desires, any little bit of hope would be regarded as a life-saving straw by them. Concubine Wen had already fallen into a swamp. With just a few words, she
They will be held tightly in their hands.
The imperial concubine was going to take her tenth brother with her for a walk, thinking that if she met the emperor, he would be more polite to her for the sake of her children, but her little brother was a snoozer and fell into a deep sleep when she went out.
. She was still conflicted about whether to bring Jue Chan with her, but she wanted to have one more person with her. Even if the emperor really hated her, he would not show her face to her face, so even if he thought that Jue Chan would lose all the flowers if he entered the garden,
Guangcai still took her with him.
Jue Chan reminded her not to bring too many people with her for fear of disturbing the emperor and the emperor, so only Dongyun and Xianghe followed them and quietly entered the garden.
But before that, Tong Bin had already followed Jue Chan's instructions and gently brought Ping Guiren in. Not long after the noble concubine and her entourage entered the garden, they saw them resting in the pavilion. Jue Chan said deliberately: "
I wonder if Ping Guiren and the others are also waiting for the Emperor."
Concubine Wen immediately frowned and led her over here. She wanted to drive them away with her dignity as a concubine. When she walked to the pavilion, she heard the nobleman inside complain: "Will the emperor really come? We have been sitting there for half an hour.
Already."
Tong Bin was sitting across from her and had already seen the movement behind her. Knowing that Concubine Wen was approaching, her heart was beating wildly, but she mustered up the courage to start raising the topic to Ping Guiren, and her words were pure.
When she mentioned the prince, Tong Bin said with trembling heart: "The prince was raised by Queen Niu Hulu in the past. I heard that the queen sank into the ice lake to save the prince, so she contracted an illness and died. Last month was the anniversary of the queen's death.
, the prince went to pay homage, and I heard that the prince cried again in front of the mausoleum. I didn’t catch up with the situation back then, but people in the palace said that the queen and the prince had a deep relationship. From this point of view, it is really a deep relationship. "
As expected, Ping Guiren was very disdainful and sneered: "If I were not too young, or I entered the palace early, I would have to raise the prince. How could there be anything wrong with Queen Niu Hulu? Besides, the prince was only old at that time, how much can he remember?
thing?"
Tong Bin smiled and said: "The prince will have to be raised by the queen after all."
"Back then, no one could compete with her. Wasn't the Imperial Concubine too young at that time?" Ping Guiren was full of arrogance. He realized that he had ignored Tong Bin's sister, the Imperial Concubine. He finally said something polite, but in the blink of an eye he said in disgust.
Said, "Sister, don't mention that the queen got sick to save the prince. It makes it seem like our prince killed Queen Niu Hulu. Why should he, a child, bear this responsibility? Forget what should be forgotten."
It has to be clean, what are you going to do with it?"
Tong Bin felt panicked in her heart and hesitated whether to let Mr. Ping continue talking, but she became more serious and said: "If Queen Niu Hulu hadn't been able to give birth to a child by herself, she wouldn't have been nice to the prince and acted hypocritically.
She pretended to be a loving mother and deceived everyone in the world."
These words entered Concubine Wen's ears verbatim. Her sister loved her very much in the past. She also saw with her own eyes the deep love between her sister and the prince. She believed that the prince still remembered some of it. She believed that the prince's tears now
It's true, but when it comes to little Heshel's mouth, why does it sound so ugly? Why is she, a person who has never experienced anything, talking nonsense here?
Jue Chan guessed that Ping Guiren would be disdainful of the topic Tong Bin asked her, and he didn't dare to think that she could say such ugly and disrespectful words. How could she know that Ping Guiren told Suo'etu that he shouted "hit" in front of Tong Bin?
She is not afraid of being killed, so she has no scruples about Tong Bin. It can also be seen that she has eaten Tong Bin to death, so it is expected that she will not dare to go to the imperial concubine to stir up trouble or ask for help.
Just as he was thinking about this, the people next to him walked forward, and Mrs. Juechan hurriedly followed her. Then she heard Concubine Wen say in a cold voice: "The emperor always tells the prince to pay homage to Queen Niu Hulu every year. Why does Ping Guijun feel that it shouldn't be brought up?"
What? Ping Guiren feels that the emperor's decree is biased, why don't I take you to Qianqing Palace and tell the emperor these words?"
When the people in the pavilion first saw the imperial concubine appearing, their faces turned pale with shock. The ordinary nobles bullied the weak and feared the strong, but the noble concubine Wen said such a cold expression to her, which made her cower.
Concubine Wen stared at her and scolded Tong Bin: "How do you teach the people in the palace to behave so that they don't have to bow when they see me?"
Concubine Tong hurriedly paid her respects. As soon as she knelt down, Concubine Ping had no choice but to kneel down. Concubine Wen helped Dongyun sit down on the stool, raised her hand to let Concubine Tong get up, but did not allow Concubine Ping to move, and asked her with a cold smile: "
