Concubine Xi was displeased, frowning and complaining: "I usually don't pay attention to the child, but she comes to join in the fun when the child has a slight headache. It's all my fault. If she can't eat freely in front of the emperor, what qualifications does a Chang Zai have to treat me?
Pointing fingers."
The palace maid said softly: "But your Majesty, look at what happened this time. The Emperor didn't give her any face at all, and he only coaxed Empress De. Do you think it was Concubine De who was lucky, or that Wang Changzai was lucky enough to be so cold?
She was pregnant and stood in the wind for half an hour, but she was not even hurt by the wind and cold. None of the doctors dared to help her make up lies, and they couldn't even pretend to be sick."
Xi concubine sneered: "Of course, she is nothing, but a face can last for a few years. You see, she is pregnant with the second child and she is still just a constant. Don't look at that person, what kind of situation she was in that year
No matter what her status is now, no one dares to think that her favorite concubine is domineering in the palace, but she has come out like this, and it is her destiny not to be squeezed to death by others."
Complaints are complaints, Wang Changzai came over, and the concubine had to greet her. After yesterday's incident, Wang's complexion was not very good. Although her body had no major symptoms, and the fetus in her belly was stable, she felt uneasy, which naturally showed on her face.
Come over and take a look at the child now, pretending to scare Xi Concubine: "The emperor feels very sorry for the fifteenth brother, please take care of me more carefully. Suddenly one day the emperor wants to see the child, but the child is very sick.
Isn’t it your fault?”
Concubine Xi smiled and said she knew. She changed the subject and asked how Wang was doing. She also deliberately provoked Wang and said that the emperor went to Yonghe Palace last night. He must have blamed Concubine De and told Wang not to take it to heart. This morning
Eunuch Liang even came over to greet her and asked her to raise her baby in peace.
Wang didn't feel good about it, but she knew in her heart that Xi Concubine was deliberately teasing her. Everyone could see the emperor's attitude, and she had failed yesterday. She thought that Concubine De was just treating everyone well and showing her a little favor.
After thinking about my cousin, how could I have thought that she would be so interested in her? Yesterday, she seemed to be waiting for her to go there on purpose, but she just happened to bump into her. It has been more than a day or two since I thought about being mean to my cousin. Could it be that De Fei is?
Did you come for yourself on purpose?
The more she thought about this, the angrier she became. However, the words from the concubine Xi, "Raise the baby with peace of mind" made her wake up. Nothing is more valuable than heirs. What she can get, the best proof that the emperor "favors" her is the heirs.
No matter how the emperor treats her, she must maintain her dignity and never let anyone bully her again.
But in the days after that, Wang Changzai still kept a low profile in Qixiang Palace to maintain her health. No matter how the outside world ostracized her, she did not stand out. After the emperor sealed her seal, she did come to see her, and she and her concubines took their fifteenth wife.
The brothers talked together for a long time, and the concubine appeared in front of the emperor. Xuan Ye even praised him for raising the fifteenth brother well. But in this way, she incurred Wang Changzai's hatred again, but fortunately in the end
Her status was too high to be bullied by her, but in the days after, Wang always threatened her with guns and sticks, which made her no longer dare to show off in front of the emperor. The days in Qixiang Palace were still so depressing that she couldn't breathe.
As soon as the busy twelfth lunar month passed, the emperor and his ministers were already busy with state affairs every day in the first lunar month, but the female relatives were enjoying the festival lively, drinking tea and wine all day long, which was very comfortable.
That day, Concubine Rong invited the prestigious concubines from various palaces to gather at Jingyang Palace. Lan Qi also brought Wen Chen and Wen Xian to play. The children scattered around, and the concubines sat together, listening to Concubine Yi telling jokes.
, suddenly heard a loud sound, and saw Xi Bin falling to the ground. Everyone was startled, and Concubine Rong quickly asked people to carry Xi Bin into the inner hall. When she wanted to ask the imperial doctor, Xi Bin stopped her and said
It will be fine in the first month, so don’t go to the doctor.
Xi Bin's face was gray, which made people feel sad. Concubine Rong asked her if she was sick. Xi Bin repeatedly avoided her, but her maid couldn't help but said: "Brother Fifteen always refuses to sleep at night, my dear wife."
I stayed up late every night to take care of Brother Fifteen, doing my best, but I stayed up half the night last night, so I must have fainted from exhaustion."
The concubine blamed the palace maid for talking too much, and laughed to herself: "It's not like she fainted. I fell asleep when I heard the Queen Yi Fei tell a joke. I fell asleep because I couldn't sit still."
At this time, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi both came in. Concubine Yi heard the mention of her and shouted: "Why does it have anything to do with me?" After hearing the explanation, she sighed, "You don't have children, but you have such an enemy.
None of us are here like this." But then he smiled at Rong Fei Hui Fei, "Eldest brother, the third brother was raised in my elder brother's house back then, right? My sisters never brought a baby, right? A baby is a baby.
It’s really hard to take care of.”
Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, didn't like to argue with her, but she advised Xi's concubine: "There are wet nurses and palace maids here, why are you worrying so much? Go back and get married."
The maid next to me said angrily: "It's just that our queen is working so hard, and there are still people who are finding fault with each other and making irresponsible remarks in front of the emperor about my wife not taking good care of my little brother."
Concubine Hui sat down and asked calmly: "You mean the king is always here?"
Concubine Xi became anxious and pushed the palace maid away: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go out and slap her."
Concubine Yi clicked her tongue: "These days, only slaves are kind to me. Our family Taohong also thinks about me in everything. Xi concubine, you are lucky to have such a good slave. But I don't understand. Wang's is a lowly ordinary person."
Now, what are you afraid of her for?"
Concubine Xi's eyes turned red for a moment, she turned away and said, "I am not afraid of her."
Concubine Yi liked to poke people when she spoke, and smiled: "Everyone in the palace knew that you made her kneel outside the gate of Qixiang Palace in the early years. Is it because you abused her in the past, and now you are afraid that she will lie on the emperor's pillow?"
While blowing the wind, can I pull you down from your seat in Qixiang Palace?"
"I don't understand what the empress said." Xi Bin's eyes already filled with tears and she choked with sobs, "I just want to take good care of my fifteenth brother."
Concubine Rong advised her: "Take it easy in everything. The emperor will definitely see your dedication. I heard the Queen Mother praise you before, didn't you? Don't be too nervous and scare yourself. How much does Wang weigh, don't you understand? She is not enough.
Out of fear."
On the side, Concubine Yi sneered: "If there is really nothing to fear, why is Xi Concubine so afraid of her? It can be said that the emperor gave Sister De Concubine enough face last time, but when he turned around, didn't he still show favor to the Wang family? You guys?
Do you know that at the end of the year, the emperor sent all the satin from Jiangnan to Qixiang Palace, and we didn’t even see a single thread?” She came up and pulled the clothes off Xi’s concubine and said, “Is this satin distributed by the Wang family?
your?"
Xi Concubine nodded helplessly, and Concubine Yi spat: "What the hell, she got ahead of us."
Concubine Hui said faintly: "What's the use of spitting on her here? Why don't you give her a try like your sister De Concubine did?"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Concubine Rong didn't know what to do. Suddenly she heard crying outside. Before everyone could go out, she saw Ke Jing running in, startling all the ladies. The princess with golden branches and jade leaves had her hair loose at the moment.
Her clothes were torn, and there was a shocking nail mark on her cheek. She raised her arms, and the two rows of small tooth marks were deep and red. She pestered Concubine Yi and said, "Eniang, Wen Xian and Wen Chen beat me. They
They said that I was born into a noble family and was not worthy of playing with them."
The mother and daughter went out, and Concubine Hui followed and said to Concubine Rong: "What happened to a sixteen-year-old girl asking her two younger sisters to beat her? Her family, Ke Jingke, has always been cunning and unruly. I don't believe it."
Believe it or not, this is the case. After the three sisters above got married, there were only a few girls left in the palace. They played together and started fighting. Who else could they ask for a fight? When the wet nurse and the palace maid rushed to break up the fight, they saw Yonghe.
The two princesses in the palace pushed Princess Kejing to the ground, pulled her hair and tore her cheeks. They didn't cry, and Princess Kejing didn't cry loudly. It was the younger Princess Wenke who was so frightened that she cried loudly and alarmed everyone.
It can be said that Princess Kejing's cunning and overbearing temper is all due to Concubine Yi. She has been very domineering since she was a child. The sisters always compete for supremacy. Gradually, she realizes that she is actually born in a noble life. She is far less noble than other sisters.
He becomes even more proud in front of others and refuses to give in at all.
Because she is a girl, no matter what happens, nothing big will happen. No one in the palace cares, and she is protected by Concubine Yi. There are few conflicts on weekdays, but today it got into a fight, and she was pushed to the ground and beaten by her two younger sisters.
It's really strange.
At that time, in order to settle the matter, Lan Qi naturally apologized to Concubine Yi. Wen Xian and Wen Chen did not dare to talk back to E Niang in public. Lan Qi asked them to apologize, and they all bowed their heads and spoke. Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, also smoothed things over, and Lan Qi asked them to apologize.
Qi didn't want Sister Rong to be unable to come to the stage, so she endured it and didn't care. She stayed in Jingyang Palace to watch the show, and then left with everyone.
When returning to Yonghe Palace, Wen Xiangui cleverly encouraged his sister to follow her back to the imperial grandmother's house. Lan Qi scolded her and said she was not allowed to go anywhere, and took the two little girls back. When she got home, she first checked them up and down, but there was no sign of them.
There were no serious injuries, only a scratch on Wen Xian's arm, which had scabbed at that time. There was no need to deal with it, so he immediately turned cold and asked Huan Chun to bring a cane, and asked the two of them to stand and answer the question.
Xiao Chen'er was afraid of being beaten and wanted to act coquettishly with E Niang. Lan Qi ordered her to stand still and not move. Wen Xian stood in front of her sister with dignity and said, "If E Niang wants to be punished, just punish me. Xiao Chen'er saw me and
The fourth sister got into a fight and bit her because she was afraid that I would suffer."
The younger sister hid behind her elder sister, stuck her head out and said sweetly to Lan Qi: "Mom, I won't bite anyone next time."
Before Lan Qi had time to teach them a lesson, Huan Chun ran in happily and said to the two princesses: "The emperor is here, princesses, hurry up and pick up the emperor."
When the two girls encountered an amnesty, they held hands and ran out. Lan Qi glared at Huan Chun with a fierce look on her face. Huan Chun said innocently: "The emperor came by himself. I can't invite the Holy Driver."
Lan Qi went out to greet him and saw Xuan Ye squatting in the courtyard. The two girls, one on the left and one on the right, were whispering to him affectionately. Xuan Ye didn't know what to say, which made Xiao Chen'er giggle, and she took a few steps forward.
, the youngest daughter shouted: "Mother, Emperor Ama said you are a tigress."
