Seeing Qingyan stop, Mrs. Li turned around and waited for her. She quickly walked forward with the eldest maid Xue Yue beside her.
He walked to about two meters away from Qingyan and said with a smile on his face: "Hello, sister Hesheli, I am Concubine Li who lives in Changchun Palace. I didn't expect that I would hit it off with my sister today. I don't know where he will be.
Isn’t it convenient to visit Chuxiu Palace?”
Qingyan looked at the very anonymous woman in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment. However, she had no interest in starting a relationship with a strange concubine in the palace, so she smiled and wanted to refuse: "Sister Li, I am this person.
I'm not very good at talking, and I don't have much interaction with the concubines in the palace. I'm afraid it's not very convenient.
Before Qingyan could finish her words of rejection, she was interrupted by Mr. Li with a slightly red face: "Actually, I am also a person who is not good at words. Sister, you really don't have to be polite."
Qingyan:...am I being polite???
"The main reason is that I heard that my sister's palace has a tree house and a big slide. Life in this palace is really boring and depressing. I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes. If I could go up there and play, I'd be happy every day.
I’ll eat two more bowls of rice.”
Mrs. Li said with a bit of embarrassment.
"So that's it." Qingyan felt embarrassed and had black lines all over her head. It turned out that she was just interested in the big toy in her palace.
Li has already talked about this, and if she refuses again, it will appear that she is a bit arrogant.
Maybe it was because the two were close in height or maybe the free and easy energy in the other person was really rare. Qingyan looked at Li's eyes shining brightly under the dim palace lights and had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Well, if sister comes, I will definitely scan her.
Welcome on the couch."
"Thank you very much, sister."
Li was overjoyed and continued: "Actually, I'm not much older than my sister. If my sister wants, she can just call me Xiaojiao. This is my maiden name."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li bowed to Qingyan, then greeted Xueyue and hurriedly turned around and left.
This was the first time Qingyan met a woman in the palace who introduced her maiden name to her in a serious way. She thought in her heart that Mrs. Li was a little funny and a little weird. She thought she might have such a temperament, so she just
He turned around and took Bai Lu back to the palace.
After washing, Qingyan lay on the bed and curiously asked Bai Lu, who was putting down the bed curtain for her: "Bai Lu, do you know anything about Mr. Li?"
Hearing her mistress's inquiry, Bai Lu paused her movements and thought about it carefully in her mind before speaking to Qingyan: "My mistress, I actually don't know much about Concubine Li."
"I only know that the Li family has a very prosperous male family. Although Fu Xi'e's son-in-law died early, almost all of his nine sons are promising. They are considered a very powerful family among the Han officials."
"Furthermore, I heard that Concubine Li was raised by the old lady since she was a child. The old lady is the granddaughter of the Taizu Emperor. She is of the same generation as the late emperor, so she can be considered a long-lived person."
"That's it." Qingyan nodded and lay on the bed, yawning and trying to sleep.
She was born into a family of military generals with a strong yang and a weak yin. Her grandmother was a royal noblewoman from Shengjing. Mrs. Li must have been quite favored at home, otherwise she would not have developed such a character. You can’t see it in her.
Half of the characteristics of Han women are gentle and introverted.
The main hall of Changchun Palace.
Li looked at herself with a red face in the mirror and felt that she was really embarrassed. Fortunately, the palace lantern was dim, otherwise she would have been embarrassed to death if others saw her like this.
Xue Yue, who was serving at the side, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth when she saw her master's shining eyes. If the master could show such a shy posture in front of the emperor, I'm afraid this favor wouldn't be so rare.
"Xueyue, Sister Hesheli is really pretty, isn't she?" Mrs. Li covered her face with a wet white sweat towel, and her voice came out muffled through the cotton cloth.
"Yes, but master, no matter how well-raised he is, it has nothing to do with you. When will you get rid of this habit of blushing when talking to beauties!" Xue Yue said frantically with some breakdown.
"Look what you said." Mrs. Li threw the sweat towel into the small silver basin next to her and raised her hand to start taking off the hair accessories on her head.
"I have never blushed when I saw a beauty. The main reason is that Sister Hesheli's appearance is so good. The impact of beauty so close to me can't just go to my head. Alas, beauty can be misleading!
"Ms. Li clicked her tongue.
"Master, I have already told you to dress up well. Look at the concubines at the palace banquet today who did not dress up beautifully. The old lady bought you so many gorgeous jewelry, but I didn't even see you.
Weared it."
Xue Yue said as she gently helped her remove the two little heads.
"Yes, if sister Hesheli wore a more gorgeous headdress today, she would definitely be more beautiful. Alas, what a pity." Mrs. Li said with regret, holding her face in her hands.
Xueyue:……
"Master, don't you even think about yourself? The Emperor almost doesn't read your name! Can't you be more progressive and focus on yourself?"
The master is really at a loss.
"Look at my appearance, how could the emperor favor me?"
"My grandmother named me 'Xiao Jiao'. Unfortunately, I am neither small nor delicate, but I look exactly like my father." Ms. Li turned her head left and right to look at herself in the mirror.
Xue Yue looked at her master's pitiful and sad look, and her heart softened. She stumbled and consoled her: "Master, you have inner beauty. Beauty is in the bones but not in the skin. You are more beautiful mainly because of your soul."
"Really?" Mrs. Li turned her head and blinked at her confidant, the eldest maid.
Xue Yue saw that even though her little master had long hair, he still didn't have the graceful posture of a woman. She didn't know but thought he was a handsome man, so she could only smile awkwardly and said: "Master, I will make the bed for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and slipped away.
Mrs. Li turned to look at herself in the mirror, not even half as pitiful as before.
She couldn't help but raise her hands to tie her black hair into a high ponytail. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought to herself, why did she have such a handsome face?
It's not that she doesn't want to compete for favor, it's because the emperor is obviously incapable of accepting her, and she can't look at the emperor's acne-marked face!
It's not her fault. If she were given a men's clothing, she would definitely be much more beautiful than the emperor. Who gave her hair? The emperor is half bald...
The happiest thing in the world is to have sex with a great beauty! The playboy emperor wants whoever loves her, but she doesn't care about it at all.
With the contribution of his uncles in the family, the emperor will not let himself be a little concubine all the time.
Moreover, she is self-aware that her family has a Han background, and even if there is a prince in the future, she will not be able to claim the title of legitimate heir. She will still have to worry that the emperor will be concerned about her family's power in the military, which would be more of a loss than a gain.
It will be even worse if I give birth to a delicate and soft daughter in the future. When she grows up, she will have to reluctantly send her to Mongolia to eat sand.
Li Shi, who had thought all these things very clearly, had no interest in trying to please the emperor.
Before entering the palace, my grandmother held her hand with tears streaming down her face and told her carefully that her uncles and brothers did not need her to help them find a future in the palace. She only needed to learn to take care of herself in the palace. There was no pressure and no superiority.
ambition, then naturally she will be happy.
After washing, Li suddenly climbed out of bed and walked to the dressing table with her shoes on before going to bed.
She stretched out her jewelry box with some distress. Although she had never worn most of the jewelry in it, she felt that these were not suitable for the fairy-like sister Hesheli. If she wanted to go to someone else's house
It’s really a headache what to give as a gift to the palace!
·
The next morning, Qingyan had just finished washing up and ran to the East Side Hall to see Xiao Changquan who was still sleeping soundly. She bent down and gently used her powers to condition her godson's body as usual, and told him to finish.
The nanny next to me took care of Changquan and then returned to the main hall.
After sitting there for a while, she saw Bai Lu hurriedly walking in carrying a meal box, leaning over and whispering in her ear: "Master, something happened in Chengqian Palace last night."
"What's wrong?" Qingyan couldn't help but frown when she remembered how her eldest cousin drank to drown her sorrows yesterday.
"Xiao Xizi hasn't figured out the specific situation yet. It seems that after the banquet last night, Concubine Tong suddenly went crazy for some reason and pushed down Wu Yaguan at the gate of Chengqian Palace."
"Then what?" Qingyan suddenly had an idea in her mind and asked quickly.
"Oh, it was originally a trivial matter, but Concubine Tong's luck was really bad. Wu Yashi happened to hit her forehead on the threshold, and then she kept lying on the ground holding her stomach and screaming in pain. She came in a hurry.
The imperial doctor had no choice but to check her pulse at the gate of Chengqian Palace, and then the whole palace knew that Wu Ya was more than a month pregnant."
Qingyan lowered her gaze slightly. She had never underestimated the Wu Ya clan. A woman who could give birth to the Yongzheng Emperor and become a concubine from a young palace maid to the Holy Mother Queen Mother was naturally full of scheming skills. It was obvious that the Wu Ya clan was involved in this matter.
She is scheming against her older cousin who is somewhat love-minded.
While Bai Lu took out the breakfast meal from the mahogany lacquer box, she looked at her master's slightly frowned brows. Although she didn't understand that it was just a little official lady who was pregnant, why did the master look like this?
She guessed in her heart that her master was worried about Concubine Tong. Even if they were not close, they were cousins after all. Thinking of this, she said softly:
"Concubine Tong's actions last night were done in full view of the public. She couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. Moreover, according to the imperial physician, Wu Ya's fetus was almost not saved last night. The emperor has now ordered that
Wu Yaguan's daughter moved to the Yonghe Palace next door, and Concubine Tong was also grounded by the emperor for half a year."
"Okay, I understand, let's eat first."
Qingyan picked up the chopsticks but felt a little confused. Wu Yashi was only more than a month pregnant. First she ate cold crabs at the banquet, and then she fell. In this case, the baby was still alive.
With such incredible luck, I am afraid that if nothing happens to this child, he will be Yongzheng...
The main hall of Yikun Palace.
Mrs. Niu Hulu was also sitting at the dinner table listening to Cuizhi talking about Mr. Tong.
"Master, you see how arrogant she is this time. She didn't even save face for you last night. Just look at her, she will be in trouble in the blink of an eye. So what if she is the emperor's direct cousin? This is a normal and arrogant thing for you.
There is nothing trivial about the relationship between dragon fetuses..." Cuizhi stood nearby and said with some gloating.
Anyone in the palace who was not blind last night could see what the emperor meant. However, Concubine Tong had a dark look on her face. After the banquet, she even left one step ahead of her master.
Their Yikun Palace and Chengqian Palace are in a competitive relationship. Now that their opponents have lost, they are naturally happy to watch the excitement.
"You need to be careful in your words and deeds in the palace. Don't mention this matter again. Go to the dining room to bring food." Niu Hulu gave his confidant the eldest palace maid a dignified blow and sent her down.
.
"Yes, slave girl, go right away." Cuizhi bowed and turned around to go out.
In the main hall of Chengqian Palace, Mrs. Tong was lying on the bed crying with her shoulders twitching.
Aunt Tong has also been getting along with this young master for more than half a year. She knows that her master has no bad intentions, but he just takes the emperor too seriously, and easily loses his mind when he encounters the emperor's affairs.
She sighed and walked to the bedside, patted Mr. Tong gently, and said with some distress: "My dear master, you have been crying for a long time. If you cry again, your eyes will be damaged."
Tong didn't say anything but felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
She is obviously close to him in age, and the blood on her body is also the closest. Originally, he asked Niu Hulu to take charge of the palace, and she could still comfort herself in her heart. At that time, she was grounded because the little prince was injured, so she couldn't do this.
thing.
Even though many people were rumoring that Niu Hulu would be the successor, although she didn't show it on her face, deep down she still felt that her cousin would leave the position next to him to her. But what happened last night made her wave away.
Give her a loud slap in the face.
Whenever she thinks about having to go to Kunning Palace every day to pay homage to Niu Hulu, who is several years younger than herself, her heart becomes sour.
Ms. Tong got up from the bed and said bitterly to Aunt Tong with her red and swollen eyes: "Mommy, you saw it last night, right? Even my incompetent cousin was laughing at me. I looked at him with all my heart and eyes.
As a husband, does he really have me in his heart?" Ms. Tong cried and laughed at the same time.
Seeing her mistress like this, Aunt Tong sighed and comforted her heart: "My mistress, you are overthinking. I saw it clearly yesterday. Mistress Hesheli looked at you very calmly. There is absolutely no such thing as
I don’t mean to ridicule you at all. You are the emperor’s direct cousin, and the emperor must also have you in his heart.” But it’s not all you, and the weight is not as heavy as you thought...
"Haha~ He has me in his heart?"
Mrs. Tong got off the bed and staggered to the door of the main hall on her shoes. She looked at the palace servant serving Wu Yashi in the side hall who was happily moving things. Her white jade hands were holding the door frame tightly with so much strength that even the veins on it were
All are revealed.
Nanny Tong walked to her side and saw the busy scene in the front yard. She sighed: "Master, were you too impulsive last night?"
"Impulsive? When did a humble official woman dare to laugh at me? I only hate that the slap was too light." Tong said with a cold tone, expressionless.
"I really thought that everything would be fine if I was pregnant with a dragon fetus. Sooner or later, the baby will be born." Tong smiled and turned around to go back.
It's grounding, grounding is good, cousin, I don't want to see you in a short time. Thinking of Kangxi's face, two lines of tears burst out of Tong's eyes again... Tong was crying and laughing at the same time.
