When Ji Nanyan returned to Fengqi Palace, she was inevitably scolded by Empress Gao.
But no matter how much Empress Gao scolded her, Ji Nanyan remained silent. As to why she suddenly ran to Bai Yanqing's bedside without authorization and said those words, she had no explanation or defense.
"To have a concubine like you, Tao'er, is really bad luck for eight lifetimes! Today, I have been completely disgraced by you!"
Queen Gao was still a little upset, even though she was tired of scolding.
Ji Nanyan endured Empress Gao's wrath, neither being humble nor overbearing. Finally, seeing that Empress Gao had almost finished scolding her, she stood up steadily, and then replied unhurriedly: "Don't you hate Bai Yanqing, my mother? I'm standing in for you."
Isn't it bad for you to be angry?"
Queen Gao couldn't even utter a single word of Ji Nanyan's words!
Indeed, Empress Gao had caused trouble for Bai Yanqing before! This made Yun Ji angry, and he gave a lesson to all the concubines in the harem who accompanied Empress Gao and caused trouble for Bai Yanqing! This matter
, everyone in the palace knows it, everyone knows it!
"At this time, His Highness is about to return to Taoyun Palace. I will go back to serve His Highness first!"
Ji Nanyan resigned, leaving only Empress Gao who was secretly depressed.
After walking out of Fengqi Palace, Ji Nanyan raised her head in an instant, and the humility on her face was wiped away, replaced by a look of indifference.
Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, Yi Laonu thinks that in this situation, you should make a decision as soon as possible! If Miss Bai is in the palace... I'm afraid that by then, the Bai and Ji families will have a falling out!"
The Grand Eunuch persuaded with earnest words.
"What's the current situation at Qiyun Palace?"
The emperor frowned and seemed to be very troubled. Obviously, he did not want to let Bai Yanqing out of the palace so easily!
Bai Yanqing's illness is so strange! At this juncture, she suddenly became bedridden. Anyone would think that Bai Yanqing's illness came too suddenly!
"The palace official who was sent to investigate just came back and said... I'm afraid it's not going to be good..."
The Grand Eunuch replied hesitantly.
At this moment, the palace servants suddenly came to report that the Concubine Xian was here. The emperor did not hesitate at all and summoned the Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian didn't panic at all when she saw the frowning emperor. She moved gracefully and calmly, walked up to the emperor, straightened her body and bowed first.
"My beloved concubine is coming to the imperial study at this time? But what's the matter?"
A faint and gentle smile suddenly appeared on the emperor's face.
"I see Your Majesty, I seem to have a lot of troubles these days! I know I am incompetent and can't do much to help, so I can only do my own thing!"
After saying that, Concubine Xian ordered the maid next to her to bring a cup of soup!
"This autumn pear and white fungus soup was stewed by me by my own hands. I hope your Majesty will not disdain me for not being good at my craftsmanship!"
Concubine Xian said as she brought the soup to the emperor.
The unique sweetness of autumn pear hits your nose immediately.
"Your Majesty, try it!"
Concubine Xian has a smile in her eyes and a unique charm in her eyebrows that no one can bear to refuse!
The emperor stretched out his hand, took the spoon from Concubine Xian's hand, scooped out a spoonful of soup, and put it into his mouth. The autumn pear was full of juice and the white fungus was sticky and glutinous, melting in the mouth.
"As expected of my concubine's craftsmanship, you really can't be picky!"
The emperor smiled and put down the spoon, his brows gradually relaxed!
"As long as the emperor likes it!"
Concubine Xian took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of the emperor's mouth. Her gentle and considerate look made anyone who saw it happy.
When the emperor saw this, he waved his hand to the Grand Eunuch. The Grand Eunuch understood and retreated with all the palace people. Only the Emperor and the Concubine Xian were left in the imperial study.
The emperor put his arms around the noble concubine and walked aside.
"What's bothering you, Your Majesty? Look at your frown!"
Concubine Xian raised her hand and touched the emperor's brow with her delicate jade hand, as if she wanted to stroke away the sorrow between his brows.
With the beauty in his arms, soft whispers in his ears, and the warmth of the Xian Noble Concubine's fingertips between his brows, the emperor couldn't help but want to talk to the Xian Noble Concubine.
"Isn't it about the Bai family daughter? Now...should I let her out of the palace, or not? Her illness came really suddenly, I'm afraid..."
The emperor said half of his words and kept half of them, but as smart as a virtuous concubine, of course she understood what the emperor meant!
"I have heard before that this young lady from the Bai family has been frail since she was a child. When the old lady of the Bai family saw that she was sick, she thought she was unlucky, so she sent her to Zhuangzi to recuperate! It was also at the beginning of this year, just now
Take me home!"
Concubine Xian did not pick up on the emperor's words. Instead, she talked about Bai Yanqing's physical condition and the Bai family's attitude towards her.
"I've heard about this too!"
What Concubine Xian said was indeed true. The emperor was not suspicious of Concubine Xian. After all, Concubine Xian did not say any random words.
"Actually...according to my concubine's opinion, Your Majesty...it's better to go and ask Concubine Li. I heard that Concubine Li was raised in the Bai family since she was a child."
Concubine Xian smiled and pushed the emperor, joking softly.
"My beloved, you are pushing me towards another woman!"
Concubine Xian's words indeed reminded the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to be greedy for you alone. Those little beauties of yours will come to me to cry to me! I have a headache just thinking about it~"
Concubine Xian pretended to be distressed, and it was not difficult to hear in her words that she was supporting the emperor.
Obviously, Concubine Xian’s words also benefited the emperor! The emperor’s mood suddenly improved a lot!
The two were tired of each other for a while, and then Concubine Xian found an excuse to leave, so that the Emperor could go see the concubine without any burden.
It has to be said that Concubine Xian was really clever! First, she left the emperor's troubled problem to Concubine Li. Second, she acted as a sweet talker in a gentle and considerate way, relieving the emperor's worries and coaxing him to
He is happy.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand why you... pushed the Emperor to Concubine Li? That little goblin's methods..."
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense about others! If there's another time, you'll get the punishment yourself!"
Concubine Xian's personal maid wanted to defend her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Concubine Xian scolded her! The frightened maid quickly shut up, bowed her head obediently, and followed her step by step.
The dusk is dim, and the road in front of you is a little dim. I don't know which palace palace maid is slacking off, and lights the lamp in time before it's time!
After all, compared to the young girls, Concubine Xian felt that her eyes could not see the road in front of her clearly.
The noble concubine Xian walked slowly, step by step! When she encountered a very dark place, she stopped and asked the palace attendants following her to take a few steps ahead to explore the way. Such a cautious look
, very much like the long road she has been walking throughout her life.
Dark clouds covered the bright moon, and a dark night followed.
Concubine Xian raised her head and looked at the night sky above her head. She couldn't help but sigh and thought to herself: I hope that smart girl will not be like her and live such a life of control. I hope that this move can help.
Give her a helping hand!
"Mother concubine!"
It's Yun Kai's voice.
"It's so late, why don't you send someone, go and inform me so that I can come and pick you up early!"
Although Yun Kai complained a little in his words, in his actions he was full of care for the noble concubine.
Concubine Xian is afraid of the dark. I am afraid that not even the person next to her knows about this. Fortunately, she also has a good son!
Yun Kai would never let Concubine Xian walk alone at night.
"With so many palace people accompanying me, it won't be a problem."
Concubine Xian held Yun Kai's arm and took careful steps, fearing that if she accidentally missed the step and fell down again, it would be embarrassing!
"How can they take care of their children so carefully? Does the mother concubine dislike her children's nagging?"
Yun Kai supported Concubine Xian and walked slowly, just like taking a walk.
"You! The luckiest thing in my life is that I gave birth to such a caring and good son like you!"
Concubine Xian waved her hand behind her, telling the palace people to follow her from a distance without having to wait closely. She could talk to Yun Kai by herself.
In the past few years, as Yun Kai grew older, he spent less and less time with Concubine Xian. Perhaps because Concubine Xian was always favored, some of the ministers in the court followed suit.
Gradually show affection towards Yun Kai.
As long as the emperor does not appoint a heir, there will be no successor to the throne. In the eyes of those ministers, the son of the concubine whom the emperor likes will naturally have a greater chance.
It is an eternal truth that good birds choose trees to roost in.
"Kailer, my concubine... I have never had too high expectations for you. My only hope for you is that we, mother and son, can be safe for the rest of our lives. I also hope that Yi'er can grow up healthy.
.”
Concubine Xian had never been interested in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she also knew that her son had grown up and had the future he wanted to pursue.
"Don't worry, mother and concubine, I know what I'm doing."
Yun Kai didn't want Concubine Xian to worry about him, so he pretended to be relaxed and replied.
"My mother and concubine took the initiative to see my father today, but because of the matter of the young lady from the Bai family?"
Yun Kai suddenly spoke and asked Concubine Xian.
Normally, there are very few virtuous concubines who would take the initiative to find the emperor under such circumstances.
"Yi'er likes her. Come to think of it...she's not a bad person either."
Concubine Xian did not answer Yun Kai directly. After all, she did not do anything to help Bai Yanqing. It was just a few words that made the emperor feel taboo about her!
After all, how can a woman who is considered unlucky even to her own family be tolerated in the palace?
"Kail, the road ahead is getting darker and darker. We should be more careful!"
Concubine Xian held Yun Kai's arm tightly, firmly and forcefully. It seemed that she was cheering herself up, and it seemed that she was telling Yun Kai to pay more attention to his steps.
"Mother concubine."
"Um."
"My son will definitely protect you and Yi'er!"
"Okay, my concubine believes in you."
After a long road, Concubine Xian and Yun Kai, mother and son, walked back to Jiyue Palace step by step, holding each other hand in hand.
…
"Master, Concubine Xian..."
A deliberately low male voice sounded from a dark corner in the palace.
"I also...can't see through her!"
Another male voice, deliberately lowered, also replied quietly.
Over the years, Concubine Xian relied on her intelligence and thoughtfulness to step into the position of concubine and gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor. Even though she was already half an old lady, she was still deeply loved by the emperor.
, every word and action makes it impossible for others to find a single fault!
Concubine Xian has been in the harem for many years, and she has never disdained the quarrels with other concubines! If she really has something to say, it is that she and Empress Gao have always had some trouble getting along. But with the way Concubine Xian conducts herself, she never
In the past, he had been in the dark with Queen Gao in public.
When did the noble concubine enter the palace? And when did she fall in the emperor's eyes? Very few people seem to remember these.
