This place is next to Changchun Palace, but it's really not separated by a wall.
The two palaces are separated by a corridor and two high walls.
In addition, Duan Concubine has various temperaments, so Concubine Yi really has no friendship with her.
Because of the master, there was no contact between the two palaces.
But in the morning, when Concubine Zhang and her servants hurried out of the West Sixth Palace, they passed through the Yikun Gate.
Some eunuchs here also saw it and reported it to Peilan.
When there was no news of Concubine Zhang's return in the afternoon, and seeing that in half an hour it would be time for the palace doors to be locked, Peilan informed Concubine Yi.
After hearing this, Concubine Yi thought thoughtfully and said, "Didn't you stop at our door? Did you go straight out of Guangsheng's right gate?"
Peilan nodded and said: "The eunuch at the door saw it and went straight over. He said he was walking in a hurry, and the concubine chased him out from behind..."
Concubine Yi couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
If so, it's a big deal.
Are you afraid that you will be angry?
Are you going to Yanxi Palace?
Just as Concubine Yi was wondering, someone came in from outside and reported: "Master, the Empress of Yanxi Palace is here."
Concubine Yi hurriedly told Peilan, "Hurry up and welcome us in!"
Perrin kept busy.
Concubine Hui's chariot has arrived directly outside the apse.
Peilan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our master has sent his servants to welcome you in."
Concubine Hui nodded, supported Peilan's hand to get off the chariot, and asked: "How is your master these days? Does he eat well, sleep peacefully, and has the lochia been eliminated?"
Peilan said respectfully: "Master is a little tired. Now he has to take half a nap during the day and go to bed early at night. He eats well." Jiu Fujin asked people to send a lot of recipes, all of which the empress can eat now. The kitchen will take turns.
It’s done; the lochia hasn’t cleared up yet, but grandma said it will take a few more days…”
The "grandma" she was talking about was the midwife in the palace. In addition to being responsible for delivering babies, she would also take care of the concubine's postpartum care. She was also called the "maternal grandmother."
Concubine Hui nodded and said nothing more.
When Concubine Hui entered, Concubine Yi was already looking forward to it.
"Even my sister was alarmed, which shows that something big happened in Changchun Palace."
Concubine Yi was smart and sighed immediately.
Concubine Hui sat by the kang, helpless.
No matter what the concubine's temperament is, everyone has been acquaintances for decades.
To put it more selfishly, each of the four concubines would rather be the concubine or concubine, with old people like Concubine Xianfu occupying the leading position.
No children, no favors, everything is safe and sound.
As I get older, my life becomes more comfortable and I don’t like changes.
However, Duanbi is uneasy about herself.
Zhao Chang had been ordered to return to the palace and was about to ask someone from Changchun Palace for questioning. Concubine Hui was afraid that Concubine Yi would have random thoughts, so she came over in person.
She said: "The words are in your head, just listen to them, don't be angry, the matter has almost been resolved, and the emperor has also sent Zhao Chang."
Concubine Yi glanced in the direction of Changchun Palace and asked in surprise: "What did that person do? Zhao Changdu sent him back?"
Zhao Chang was the imperial eunuch. Although he did not serve closely, the emperor's trust in him was no less than that of Liang Jiugong.
The punishment department in this palace is in the hands of Zhao Chang.
Concubine Hui nodded and glanced at Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi has been expecting her baby for the past six months and has paid little attention to outside matters.
There is relatively more news from Concubine Hui.
She also knew that during the great battle in the palace two years ago and that time, the wind started blowing from the four places in Qianxi.
There must be something unknown in this.
Fourteenth brother...
Brother Eleven...
Concubine Hui also sighed.
Some things cannot be studied in detail, but should be valued in front of you.
Concubine Yi didn't notice any difference and just thought that Concubine Hui was a concubine.
Concubine Hui briefly talked about Duan Concubine bullying Zhang Concubine.
After hearing this, Concubine Yi gritted her teeth.
After Zhang Concubine entered the palace, she was assigned to the Longevity Palace, and lived there for several years before moving away. At that time, Concubine Wen Xi was still alive, and Concubine Yi often went to the Longevity Palace, so she watched Zhang Concubine get up.
"Why are you so cowardly? I thought you had a cheerful personality before!"
Concubine Yi likes Concubine Zhang because she is good-looking. They got along well with her during her northern tour last year. Unexpectedly, she became a quarrel in Changchun Palace.
Concubine Hui said: "When I moved over, I was young, and my concubine was old in terms of qualifications. She was about twenty years younger, so she was restrained!"
Concubine Yi said angrily: "I have been too negligent in the past six months, and I have become blind and deaf, and I don't know anything about it."
Concubine Hui's heart trembled, but it didn't show on her face as she said, "It's not just you, but me too. After all, it's no better than in previous years. η9."
This is about the Crown Princess taking over the palace.
In the early years, the palace was ruled by four concubines. When the crown prince entered the palace and was officially conferred, Kangxi asked her to take over the palace power.
However, due to the seniority difference, the Crown Princess did not interfere much in the affairs of the East and West Palaces, so now each palace seems to be autonomous.
Concubine Yi muttered: "What do you think, Your Majesty? We were in charge of palace affairs in those days, and we were afraid of making mistakes if we were not just in name but in words. Now we have changed to a just name, but it is not convenient in both cases."
!”
Concubine Hui thought for a while and whispered: "I guess it turns out that the emperor just wanted to establish the authority of Yuqing Palace, and he legitimately relinquished our power. He didn't expect it to be so inconvenient..."
If it were an ordinary family, the eldest daughter-in-law would be the head of the family.
There is a difference between superiority and inferiority.
As for the common people, if they have good food and drink, and there is no shortage of daily supplies, they are considered generous.
But here in the palace, dignity and inferiority are not discussed in this way.
Even if the crown prince is the eldest daughter-in-law and the future mother of the country, when she comes to the concubine, she will still be judged on the basis of seniority.
Concubine Yi curled her lips and said: "It seems like someone cares about the palace power. If I can't get more filial piety, who cares about this?"
Now that she has a son and her daughter-in-law's filial piety, she has a lot of money, so she doesn't care about the three melons and two dates of her subordinates.
Concubine Hui hesitated and said: "I can't imagine what the future structure of the palace will be like. We concubines with older princes have also come to an end. No matter how high-ranking people are, we can't push the younger ones to compete with us?
If nothing happened to the Tong family, Concubine Tong would have come forward."
Concubine Yi made a "puff" sound, laughed out loud, and said: "It's a good thing I didn't go up, otherwise I would be bored just looking at her. She is the daughter of Fengchao. She is unmarried in her twenties, and she is not here for the ordinary concubine position."
of"
Concubine Hui showed disapproval on her face and said, "Why are you laughing at her? She may not be happy with it..."
Concubine Yi disapproved and said: "Whether you like it or not, once you enter the palace, you will be on par with us. What else is not interesting? Knife."
"As a result, every time Ningshou Palace greets her, she looks so awkward and behaves like a concubine. She feels wronged and wishes she could sit on her sister's head..."
"We have served the emperor for half our lives and have children. Do we deserve to be crushed by her?"
"She thought that like Concubine Wen Xi, she would enter the palace as a concubine, and then become a concubine. However, it has been ten years since this year, and she has not even mentioned it..."
"My sister is ranked first among me, and I am convinced, but who does she count just by her last name?"
Concubine Hui frowned and said, "Shut up, you dare to say anything?!"
Concubine Yi stroked her chest and said, "When I say this, my heart becomes brighter, otherwise I would see her feeling blocked every time."
Concubine Hui glared at her and said, "Aren't you angry in vain? If your surname is not noble, why is it valuable?"
That is the emperor's mother's family, and the emperor is willing to promote her. Naturally, she is not comparable to ordinary relatives.
Concubine Yi said softly: "If I were better-looking, I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. I would be straight-faced. Being appointed as a concubine is already a grace. Do you really want to get the palm phoenix seal?"
Concubine Hui patted her and said: "Half a lifetime of problems, in your eyes, as long as you look good, there is nothing bad!"
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Appearance comes from the heart! If the mind is crooked, the appearance will not be much better."
At this point, she pointed in the direction of Changchun Palace and said: "Just like that one, she was also a beautiful woman in her early years, but since she was given the title of concubine twenty years ago, her face has drooped. What has become of her these years?
Shoehorn is shameless! Knife.”
Concubine Hui said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, don't say harsh words to irrelevant people."
As he was talking, he heard noises in the yard from a distance.
Concubine Hui couldn't help but frown.
What's the fuss about?
When Concubine Yi gave birth, it was time for her to rest quietly.
Concubine Yi also looked at the window and glanced at Peilan.
Peilan hurriedly went out and saw several palace servants and eunuchs blocking the way on the corridor beside the east wall of the front hall, confronting the uninvited guest Duan Concubine.
"Go away, I want to see Concubine Yi."
Duan concubine shouted loudly and scolded the people in front of her.
Those few people stopped him and didn't move.
The gate of Yikun Palace is open during the day, but there are only a handful of people who can directly enter the palace without going through the notification, and Duan concubines are not among them.
Seeing Peilan coming out, the eunuch who stopped him quickly bowed and said: "Auntie, Concubine Duan must rush in directly..."
Peilan looked at the concubine and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Our mother-in-law is in the puerperium and it is time for her to have a good life and recuperate. I wonder if the concubine has something urgent that she can't even wait for?"
Duan concubine stopped shouting, but she still said angrily: "I came to ask your Majesty to make the decision. Zhao Chang is rude and wants to mention the people around me for no reason..."
Peilan said in surprise: "General Manager Zhao is a member of the imperial family, shouldn't he be following the imperial decree?"
Duan Concubine was stuck, and then she said: "It's Zhang Concubine. I don't know what she was thinking. She went to Yanxi Palace to file a complaint, and then brought it to the imperial court. I'm going to die unjustly!"
Peilan said: "Please wait, concubine, while I go and report to the master."
Duan concubine didn't dare to go any further. She nodded reluctantly and urged: "Hurry up, girl, I'm still in a hurry here!"
Before he finished speaking, someone spoke up: "If you have anything to do with Concubine Yi, just tell me!"
It was Concubine Hui who came out.
Duan concubine looked at her with anger and asked: "Hui Fei, what's the matter with you? Why can't we talk about the quarrels between sisters in private first, and why do we need to bring it to the imperial court?"
"A verbal dispute?"
Concubine Hui looked at her calmly and said: "Is it a quarrel? I don't know. I only know that Zhang Bin has "liver stagnation" and "charge and responsibility disorder", and she is going to die!'"
This concubine said with disdain on her face: "It's just pretentious. If you are tall and thick, why are you pretending to be a 'sick beauty'? Ugly people often do mischief, thinking they can win favor with this? Where are the bones and frames? Even if you are thin,
Even if you lose your shape, you can’t be called a Jiangnan beauty..."
This is because Zhang Bin is tall and tall, and it is thought that Zhang Bin's weight loss in the past six months is due to deliberately eating less.
Wang Guiren is a typical Jiangnan beauty, very delicate.
Guarja, the new favorite of the harem, is also slim because of her youth.
Looking at Duan Concubine's face, Concubine Hui felt extremely disgusted.
When Concubine Zhang was favored before, Concubine Duan was not like this. It was hard to say what she wanted behind the scenes, but she was extremely close to others in front of others.
Now that Zhang Bin has "fallen out of favor", even if others don't do anything, she has no scruples and wants to step on Zhang Bin into the mud...·
