[Qing Chuan] Jun Guifang has rested

He murmured: "The emperor is indeed interested in her." Immediately he shook his head, looking a little impatient, "No, the emperor has enough newcomers. If Ningbi is promoted again, what year will he be?" Yue can think of me again?"

Her eyes were lowered, and she looked very sentimental: Even though she knew that being an emperor's concubine was different from an ordinary couple, it was still difficult for her to bury her emotions. She only used the emperor as a tool to gain glory and wealth, and sent the beauty to the dragon bed with her own hands.

Lian Xiao seemed to have thought of it a long time ago, and smiled brightly, "You don't have to recommend Ning Bi to the emperor."

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, "Then what do you mean?"

Lianxiao didn't reply directly, "If the empress is at ease, I will leave this matter to my maidservant, and if there is a need for help, the slaveservant will report to the empress."

Concubine Shu didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she was going to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

*

On the second day of December, Concubine Chun felt unwell, as if she was about to give birth.The palace servants of Zhongcui Palace hurriedly came out to communicate, looking for the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen, and reported to the emperor and queen.

Qianlong was worried about Empress Fucha's trouble, and asked her to stay in Changchun Palace to recuperate, and Concubine Xian was responsible for related matters.

Qianlong and Concubine Xian sat together in Wei Xunfang Palace.Wei Xunfang went out to work for a while, and offered Qianlong a cup of ginseng soup very graciously.Concubine Xian gave Xu Qiuyan a wink, Xu Qiuyan handed over a carefully bundled paper bag, and said respectfully: "Mr. Wei, this is the snack you asked for last time when you went to Yikun Palace. Concubine Xian is free today, and I just made it. The servant has brought it to you."

Hearing this, Qianlong glanced at Concubine Xian, saw that her gentle smile was a little pale, and she was obviously tired, and said: "Your Majesty Wei, the empress is weak now, and Concubine Xian has too much burden on her. In the future, such trivial matters will be less. Go bother her."

Wei Xunfang showed embarrassment, and hurriedly made amends, feeling that she had suffered from being dumb again by Concubine Xian.

Concubine Chun's howling pierced through the wall and scattered into the air, and the repeated sounds reached Qianlong's ears.Qianlong frowned, and the hand holding the soup cup trembled slightly. He sighed, "I've become a little indifferent to Concubine Chun these days. When she gives birth safely, I will definitely make it up to her."

"Sister Chun has worked so hard, the emperor should reward her." Concubine Xian took out a piece of paper and pointed to the densely packed writing on it, "This is the reward that this concubine intends to give to Concubine Chun and her family. Body, my concubines go back and change it."

Qianlong's indifference to Concubine Chun started because she framed Concubine Xian.The change in his attitude towards Concubine Chun was also expected: After all, Concubine Chun was giving birth to him through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and opened up branches and leaves for Aixinjueluo's family.Concubine Xian might as well sell a favor to show her generosity, tolerance and impartiality in managing the Six Palaces.

Sure enough, Qianlong praised, "Honest and virtuous, what can I ask for?" After saying that, he held the hand of Concubine Xian and discussed with her about rewards.

The author has something to say:

Procrastinated again, sorry~ I haven't written for several days, and I feel that I have lost some.

Chapter 26 Princess

Concubine Yu guarded Concubine Chun in the main hall for a while, and came to nobleman Wei to pay respects to Concubine Qianlong and Concubine Xian, holding fifth elder brother with her left hand.At this time, Qianlong and Concubine Xian had almost reached an agreement, and they were sitting quietly waiting for news from Concubine Chun.Concubine Xian enthusiastically invited her to sit down and asked her about Concubine Chun.

Concubine Yu wiped away the layer of moisture that fell from Ye Shuang on her body, and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that the fetus is a little big, but there will be no hindrance, Concubine Chun will definitely be safe for both mother and child."

Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and waved to the fifth elder brother, asking him if he had studied hard in the past two days, and if he had a good time, his movements and expressions were full of the kindness and freshness of a father.

Concubine Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Yong Qi has been eating a lot lately, and is also lively and active, she has become much stronger."

Qianlong looked the fifth elder brother up and down, and smiled even more, "Well, he is indeed strong. In the future, he will definitely become an upright warrior of my Qing dynasty."

The fifth elder brother clasped his fists to Qianlong, and he really had the demeanor of a boy riding a horse, "My son will definitely live up to Huang Ama's expectations."

His voice was immature, but his movements were majestic, which made several elders present laugh.

Wei Xunfang didn't know whether it was because he was neglected or because he couldn't see it, so he raised his voice and said, "Wen Po said that Concubine Chun's fetus is big and difficult to give birth. I think she is a strong elder brother."

Now that everyone is worried about the situation of the pure noble concubine, it is hard to breathe a sigh of relief, but Wei Xunfang said such a sentence again, which is really inappropriate.She once served Concubine Chun, Qianlong only regarded them as saying that the master and servant love each other deeply, and did not blame her, saying: "Whether it is elder brother or princess, I hope that Concubine Chun and the child are safe, and will reward her hard work with many rewards. "

After a while, a baby's loud cry came from the bedroom of Concubine Chun.Qianlong and his party hurried over to watch. Madam Mei took out a white and tender baby from Concubine Chun's bed curtain, and said happily, "Congratulations to the emperor, you are a princess. Mother and daughter are safe, but Concubine Chun is exhausted right now."

The child was fair and handsome, and Qianlong was very happy, so he picked up the princess with his own hands to see the pure noble concubine.

Concubine Chun's face was bloodless, and she was exhausted. Seeing Qianlong passing by, two lines of tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.She stretched her arms to get up, Qianlong hurriedly taught her not to be too polite.She called out "Emperor" delicately and weakly, tears streaming down more violently.

Qianlong ignored Concubine Chun for a long time, and he didn't ask about the civet cat's corpse last time, so he inevitably felt that Concubine Chun was blaming him.For a while, he couldn't bear to comfort him with soft words, and looked at Concubine Chun dryly, feeling a little embarrassed.

At this time, the fifth elder brother stood by the bed, wiping the tears from the corners of Concubine Chun's eyes with his small hands, "Madam Chun doesn't cry. I know the hardships of Madam Chun giving birth to a younger sister, and I will definitely protect and take care of her for Madam Chun in the future. Let my sister be wronged."

The fifth elder brother's naive and childish words, invisibly relieved the deep-minded elders.Qianlong immediately smiled, and held the little princess in front of the fifth elder brother, "Yongqi, your sister has heard what you said today, and if you break your promise in the future, she will only ask you." laugh.The corners of Concubine Chun's lips were barely raised, but the anxiety and impatience could not be concealed between her brows and eyes.

The group stayed in Concubine Chun's bedroom for a while, and the imperial physician said that Concubine Chun needed to rest earlier.The emperor missed her, but it was inconvenient for her to serve, so he rested nearby in Wei Xunfang Palace.

Back at Yikun Palace, Xu Qiuyan tidied up the bed and casually chatted about today's events, "I am not very happy to see Concubine Chun, I wonder if I am thinking too much."

Concubine Xian covered her lips and yawned, "My dear brothers, the emperor is very partial to Yongqi; now that the empress is pregnant with a dragon fetus, she will be born as a son, so it will be even more out of the turn of Yongzhang and Yongqi. After working so hard to plan a game, I helped Wei Xunfang get a lot of favors, but unfortunately I didn't get much benefit, and I haven't been able to give birth to my next brother, so I am inevitably frustrated."

Xu Qiuyan nodded.The two lay down together and talked for a while about other things, both of them were a little sleepy.Before going to bed, Concubine Xian said that Yikun Palace's etiquette to Concubine Chun must not be less, and asked Xu Qiuyan to pick out the best gifts from the palace storehouse and send them there tomorrow.

The author has something to say:

Very sleepy, sleepy winter March, good night

Chapter 27

Early in the morning, Concubine Xian and Xu Qiuyan picked out two boxes of jewelry together.Concubine Xian also had to go to Changchun Palace to discuss matters with Empress Fucha, so Xu Qiuyan was sent to Zhongcui Palace first, and told Concubine Chun that she would come to the door in person at another day.

Giving things to Concubine Chun is to take into account the etiquette to her, at least not to make others laugh.Going to Zhongcui Palace, I'm afraid we can't avoid nobleman Wei, but Concubine Xian also said that people in these heavenly palaces miss Chunguifei, and the emperor often goes to Zhongcui Palace. Make things difficult.

Things were not heavy, and it was still early, Xu Qiuyan walked at a leisurely pace, thinking that walking more to warm her body was better than staying in the house all the time.

"girl!"

Xu Qiuyan heard someone talking behind her, and turned around to see that there was no one around.She thought it was Fengda who had misheard, and after walking a few more steps, she heard another cry. A man in his 50s or [-]s ran up to her side, panting, and his gray goatee was covered with mist. .

Xu Qiuyan couldn't tell his identity, so she didn't want to ask rashly. She only knew that he was older than herself, so she guessed that he was a guard, cook or something.She handed over a sweat towel and asked tentatively, "This... old man, where are you going, are you calling me just now?"

"Ah, thank you, miss..." The old man took the handkerchief, looking flattered, holding it neatly in his hand, reluctant to use it.

He let out a smile with a smile. Xu Qiuyan smelled the sour smell of alcohol. She was a little disgusted. Out of courtesy, she pretended not to notice and smiled at him, "Old man, it's freezing cold, and I'm sweating outside." But if you are suffering from the wind and cold, please wipe it off quickly."

"Hey, hey!"

The old man hastily responded twice, covered his face with a handkerchief, wiped it twice, and put it away in his sleeves.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Xu Qiuyan felt that the man's eyes were avoiding, as if he was avoiding her.Since he was the one who took the initiative to call to stop her just now, then maybe there is something that needs help, she said: "Old man, where are you going, do you need to lead the way?"

The old man grinned, "I'm going to find Mr. Wei, the newly promoted Mr. Wei. Is it convenient for the girl to take me there?"

He bit the word "newly promoted" very hard, as if he was emphasizing it deliberately, and his words revealed a sense of pride and joy intentionally or unintentionally.Xu Qiuyan probably guessed his identity, but did not say clearly.She weighed the jewelry box in her hand, "This is to be sent to the lord of Zhongcui Palace, a pure noble concubine. Mrs. Wei also lives in Zhongcui Palace, so you can come with me."

The old man tucked his hands into his cuffs, and the corners of his mouth widened into a smile, "Then I'll be fine."

Concubine Chun is still recuperating in bed. The maid Xiaoying said that it is inconvenient for her to see others, so Xu Qiuyan asked her to bring Concubine Xian's heart to her.Xu Qiuyan lingered for a while, then opened the door curtain, just in time to see the old man who had just been brought over was pushed and shoved out by Wei Xunfang.

Xu Qiuyan was surprised: Although Wei Xunfang is not from a well-known family, after all, he makes a living in the deep palace, so he can pretend anyway.Now that she has become a noble person, she is the emperor's bedside person, and she should always pay attention to her words and deeds, but now she coaxes people by herself, and she doesn't even need a servant, it's really astonishing.

Wei Xunfang acted as if no one was there, pointed at the old man, with raised brows, "Why didn't you think of me when you were drinking and whoring, why didn't you mention that you were my father when you beat me and scolded me? Who gave you face, dare to come and act wild in my palace? "

Xu Qiuyan thought to herself, she guessed right, this old man is Wei Qingtai, Wei Xunfang's father.

"Fang'er," Wei Qingtai said, seeing Wei Xunfang's face, as if his tongue had been scalded, he quickly changed his words with trembling lips, "Your Majesty Wei, Niang Niang...you should give this slave some money to live, otherwise the slave will have to live starving."

He was like a street beggar sneaking into the palace. The maid Xue Lan was afraid that people would see him as a nuisance, so she tugged at Wei Xunfang's sleeve and reminded her to send him away quickly.Wei Xunfang was determined, and sneered a few times, "What does it matter to me that you starved to death? I didn't see you caring about anything when I was about to starve to death. Get out!"

Wei Qingtai turned around and met Xu Qiuyan's gaze, miserable and weak, as if asking her for help.

It is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, so Xu Qiuyan must never interfere in it. Before she responded, Wei Xunfang suddenly pointed at her with a halberd, tears filled her eyelashes, and her peach blossom face was angry and wronged, "So you brought him here, you are really snakes and rats." A litter, I can’t even see me getting better!” She angrily walked down the steps, “Wei Qingtai, I’m just cruel, because you’ve never let me down. She loves you, so you let her raise you for the rest of your life, isn’t it right? Do you like it?"

Wei Xunfang was just annoyed just now, but now his expression is in a trance, like madness.Wei Qingtai also changed his attitude abruptly. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go! Just treat it as my raising you for more than ten years in vain, and starving to death is also my fate. But what should not be said, Don't say it." It was as if he had changed from a beggar who slept in the open to a tough and dignified gentleman.

He turned his head to look at Xu Qiuyan, with some gentleness and kindness on the corners of his eyes and brows, "The girl is working in Yikun Palace, it's cold, you should go back earlier." After finishing speaking, he left first.Wei Xunfang spat at his back, immediately turned and went back to the room, Xu Qiuyan caught a glimpse of her shrugging her shoulders, as if she was sobbing.

The father and daughter of the Wei family cried and laughed for a while, clouded for a while and cleared for a while, as if they were performing an absurd drama together, Xu Qiuyan was in a fog watching it.She was going back to the palace, and after walking for a while, Wei Qingtai was waiting behind a tree ahead.Xu Qiuyan blessed him: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, no," Wei Qingtai rubbed his palms, looking very uncomfortable, "Actually, I came to the palace under the name of Mr. Wei, and I even came into the palace as a fool. I don't know much about things here, I just heard A little bit. Did she often bully you before?"

"You're joking." Xu Qiuyan smiled slightly, "Living in the palace is all about relying on one's ability, whoever bullies whoever comes from."

"Then she doesn't treat you well. If you are wronged again in the future..." Wei Qingtai choked up his words, his lips moved, and finally he just sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, I can't do anything, and I won't say anything, you Just do things according to your duties and seek a stable life."

What Wei Qingtai said didn't make sense, but Xu Qiuyan had some subtle guesses about the conversation he had with Wei Xunfang before, but the guesses just passed by, and she was stopped by Lianxiao again.

Xu Qiuyan saw that she was holding several bolts of brocade, and said, "Pianxiao, are you going to Concubine Chun too?"

Lianxiao nodded: "Yes. These few pieces of brocade were sent to Chuxiu Palace by Master Nalan after a thousand choices. Look at the color and texture, they are all rare in the world. However, the concubine Shu didn't like it. If you care about this, you will give it away with a backhand."

Lianxiao's face was covered with a thick layer of makeup, her hair was full of beads, and her clothes were more complicated and colorful than those promised and Chang Zai.Xu Qiuyan recalled that Concubine Xian once said that Lian Xiao's dress was not suitable for her status, but Concubine Shu never cared about it, so she intentionally reminded her: "We are slaves, and if the master doesn't care, we shouldn't think too much about it. You don't have to feel sorry for Concubine Shu."

Lian Xiao was very clever, her expression froze when she heard the words, and then she smiled like a flower again, and asked Xu Qiuyan to wait for her at the same place for a while, and then go back with her company.

Concubine Chun didn't see Lian Xiao's face either, so Lian Xiao turned back quickly.She gave Xu Qiuyan two pieces of pastries that she had just made, and let her try her handicraft.Xu Qiuyan praised her, and the two continued to talk about it just now.Lian Xiao said: "You said that we should not worry about things that the master doesn't care about, I think this is wrong."

Xu Qiuyan didn't answer, Lian Xiao continued: "For example, the master has no intention of fighting for favor, or can't think of a good way to fight for favor, whether it is for the master's future or our own life, we have to help them think and fight, otherwise we will just fall silently. part."

Xu Qiuyan said: "It's a good thing if you can be a good assistant to your master, but if you act as a substitute, I'm afraid it will backfire."
