The daily strike of the favored concubine [qing]

The old lady Sun stood up tremblingly, her movements were not as agile as before, she lowered her eyes, and thanked her again and again: "Thank you, Madam. It was the old lady who neglected Madam just now..."

Yunxiu let her continue talking, moved her eyes away, and landed directly on Li Shi.

Seeing the imperial concubine looking over lightly, Li's face immediately turned red, and he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and knelt down neatly: "My concubine pays my respects to the imperial concubine and empress, all blessings!"

When she knelt down, her fingers trembled, and she no longer dared to think about looking at her, a touch of fear surged deep in her heart.

What kind of gaze was that?

Elegant and noble, inviolable, as if looking at an ant, not paying attention to her at all.

Crouching on the cold ground, Li Shi remembered that the Cao family and the Li family have been coated for generations, even if they are the eyes and ears of Long Live, everyone in the south of the Yangtze River should respect and hold them... In the eyes of the master, No more than a slave.

Such an incomparably clear perception made her close her eyes, and her prostrate posture became more and more respectful. After a long while, she finally got a "Excuse me" from the imperial concubine.

Outside the gate of the mansion, the atmosphere became a little strange.

The honored masters who were fortunate enough to accompany them got out of the car and held their breaths watching this scene. Only Concubine Rong stepped forward and said with a smile: "What are you doing crowded together? The concubine and the palace are both I'm tired, and I still need to work for the old lady to guide the way, so I can sleep well. Concubine, empress, why don't we go in together?"

"Okay." Yunxiu smiled, happy to let her go, and said to herself, she used to be called "sister", but now she is called "mother".

After the imperial concubine was demoted to Concubine Tong, Yunxiu suddenly felt that Concubine Rong was much more alive, and she smiled more, as if she was no longer obsessed with the ranking among concubines.However, if I called my younger sister too much, my elder sister would not be able to call out anyway. Who told the third elder brother to inherit her mother-in-law's temperament, so awkward.

Concubine Rong is willing to express her kindness, so Yunxiu will naturally not refuse.In the harem, who would want to make enemies everywhere and fall into a situation surrounded by enemies?

But with just a few words, the female relatives of Zhizao Mansion became a foil.

Even if Concubine Rong did not return to her previous appearance, her eyes were peaceful and smiling, and her clothes were soaked in the fragrance of Buddha, the aura she had pampered her for many years was not comparable to ordinary people.

Mrs. Li had a momentary aphasia. She didn't dare to see her mother-in-law's reaction. She bowed humbly and hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, my concubine. The bedding in the main courtyard has been laid out." , and the incense has been smoked, the imperial concubine, the Rong concubine, please, and the young masters please..."

The main courtyard where the old lady Sun lived lived with several empresses and young masters. Li voluntarily gave up the Xiefang Hall where she and her husband lived on weekdays, and moved all the belongings to the side courtyard.

When Cao Yin came, the eldest son Cao Yong was having fun in the yard with his little hands and feet. His wife, whom he had not seen for a long time, looked at him with tears in his eyes: "...you are finally home."

Brother Yong was timid and curious when he looked at him, even the seven-foot man had red eyes at this moment.

"It's all thanks to Lord Long Live's kindness! We are still discussing matters ahead, and I thought it would take a long time, so I drove me back to the backyard first..." Cao Yin said softly, "I can't wait to see you two."

It is said that it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Cao Yin has no objection to the wife his mother chose for him. Although he didn't like it at first, he was satisfied.

Mrs. Li is a virtuous person, runs the family well, and is more than enough to be the head of the house; he is not a greedy person, and if he recognizes his wife, he will treat her wholeheartedly.What's more, his uncle Li Xu is his best friend, in view of his brother's face, he will never be that heartless person.

Because of Cao Yin's persistence in his heart, he and Li's couple live in harmony and live a happy life. Even though the couple have been separated for so many years, he has no intention of taking concubines, and only cares about his elders' wives and children at home.

Speaking of which, apart from Cao Yinyuan being in the capital, there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Li on weekdays.

Husband has been an accompanist of the emperor since he was a child, not to mention both civil and military skills, his appearance is also first-class, and he can't find any faults.Not only is the husband single-minded, the mother-in-law Sun sympathizes with the separation of the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and never proposes to take concubines; the father-in-law Cao Xi doesn't care about the backyard...

The old lady is getting older, and with the transfer of the power of the housekeeper, Mrs. Li is in charge of Zhongfu in the Weaving Mansion, and she is really saying the same thing.

The daughters of each family are extremely envious, why didn't they marry into Cao's mansion?

Now, the couple had a good time reminiscing about the old days, and Cao Yin brought his son to tease him affectionately, his eyes and brows were full of love.

Mrs. Li pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that the moment could not be more perfect. Then, she seemed to think of something, her smile faded, and she asked softly: "Have you greeted my mother? The main courtyard is given to you ladies, and now my mother lives In Xiefangtang... Lord Wrong is living in a side courtyard with my concubine."

Cao Yin was moved by Li Shi's intention, how could he feel wronged?

"This is the filial piety that children should do. There is nothing to be wronged. Thank you, madam." He smiled, and then stood up, "Father said, mother is talking with the imperial concubine and the concubine Rong, so she is back? I Just go and say hello."

"It's good that I don't blame my concubine." Li Shi lowered her eyes and said softly, "Mother didn't talk with the ladies, her body is a little worried, I'm afraid she has already rested."

"Why not?" Cao Yin became anxious when he heard this.

Mrs. Li wrung the handkerchief, and there was a little worry in her eyes: "... such an omission, I am afraid that I have neglected Concubine Yi. Lord, can I ask the empress for my sin?"

撺芳堂.

The old lady leaned on the bed and sighed: "Brother Yin, you have to talk to your mother about the temperament of the imperial concubine. I just greeted you. I'm afraid she misunderstood the old body, the Cao family, and then misunderstood her. You."

Lord Long Live helped her up, but Concubine Yi behaved like that.

Judging by Concubine Yi's attitude, not to mention having good intentions, she even insulted her in front of everyone!The old lady's heart was on fire, she couldn't help feeling worried, she grabbed Cao Yin's hand and said, "If the concubine blows pillow wind to Long Live Lord, what should I do?"

Cao Yin frowned, silent for a long time, what kind of temper?

Because of the reputation that no one would dare to offend Concubine Yi when she walked in front of the imperial court, he had heard more than once.Perhaps the rumors are false, but it is true that Long Live Lord regards him as a treasure. He even lamented with him in his spare time that the imperial concubine is the only interpreter in his life.

... He is not sure whether to blow the pillow breeze or not.

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Cao Yin comforted him in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, Concubine Yi is considerate, she will never be like this. To win the favor of the Empress Dowager and be ordered to take care of the Prince, the concubine is magnanimous and virtuous!"

Before the words fell, the old lady regained her spirits and was taken aback: "Take care of the crown prince?"

This happened not long ago, and the news has not yet reached Jiangnan, so it is reasonable for my mother not to know.

Cao Yin briefly narrated the ins and outs, and recalled the scene where the impeachment finally died down, his expression paused slightly: "The noble concubine is favored and the phoenix is ​​with her, if there is no place to return, the son should also accompany Li Shi Go and plead guilty."

This is different from what the old lady expected!

There is a difference of one hundred and eight thousand miles!

To apologize, she just ordered her daughter-in-law to test it out, but she didn't know that Brother Yin really had such thoughts.

What frightened her the most was that Concubine Yi was ordered to take care of the Crown Prince despite being favored...

Prince, brother Yin is determined to be loyal to his little master!

The old lady's heart sank and her headache was about to split. After a long time, she managed to force a smile: "You're right. There are so many noble concubines and empresses. If you think about it, you've already forgotten the negligence just now. There's no need for us to plead guilty. It's your mother who's going to kill you."

At least she dismissed the idea of ​​the eldest son, watched Cao Yin's figure disappear at the threshold, the old lady closed her eyes tiredly, opened them again, and her smile disappeared completely.

"Let Mrs. Wang wink and look for an opportunity to serve the Lord Long Live." She rubbed her forehead and told the nanny who was by her side, "As soon as possible. Isn't she the best at adding fragrance to red sleeves? You make arrangements, except serving tea , it would be even better if I could serve pen and ink..."

The main courtyard of Zhizao Mansion is very spacious, and it is divided into several small courtyards, more than enough for the accompanying concubines to live in.The largest back room in the center is where Yunxiu stayed.

The color tone and even the furnishings in the house show the exquisite atmosphere of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River everywhere. It is not as grand as the decoration of Yikun Palace, but it is not out of the box and has a unique aesthetic feeling.

After scanning around, Yunxiu was generally satisfied. She was too lazy to pick mistakes, and she couldn't find any mistakes.Taking a look at the celadon on the cabinet, the touch is delicate, the texture is quite beautiful, and it doesn't look like ordinary products.

But an antique?

The imperial concubine is not good at this, she only keeps her doubts in her heart, and will ask the prince when he brings his younger brother.

Putting back the porcelain vase, a torrent of drowsiness swept over her, Yunxiu closed her eyes slightly, tired from the journey in the morning, it's time to rest for a while, to recharge her energy, and there will be a feast in the evening.

As early as when they entered the room, Madam Dong, Rui Zhu and the others carefully inspected all the objects on the table, chairs and bed, and finally nodded to her to indicate that they did not find any tampering.

After eating a few pieces of snacks in the carriage, and gargling again, Yunxiu put on his clothes and lay down, gently closing his eyes.

The quilt covering her body was warm and fluffy, very comfortable, and the faint fragrance of flowers and fruits hit her, as if it had been carefully infected.Yunxiu didn't reject the fragrance, she even liked it. The faint fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose, and she soon fell asleep.

I don't know how many hours later, I heard Liang Jiugong's voice in a daze: "Wake up...the emperor called his wife to accompany you..."

Yunxiu slowly opened her eyes, raised her hand and rubbed her temples, feeling a little dizzy in her mind.

How long has she been asleep?

"It's exactly two hours. It's past noon, and the emperor left some food for the empress." Liang Jiugong waited outside the curtain, smiling earnestly, "The empress should go to Xiyuan as soon as possible."

After asking someone to take care of her to wash and dress, Yunxiu no longer felt sleepy, but the feeling of drowsiness gradually deepened; besides, there was a slight sense of discomfort in her lower abdomen, but it was negligible.

Pressing the center of her eyebrows, she sensed something was wrong.

Yunxiu frowned and thought, the emperor has an accompanying imperial physician by his side, and when he arrived in Xiyuan, he had to ask the imperial physician to take a pulse and take a look.

……

The destination of the accompanying driver is the same as the destination of inviting the imperial physician - Xiyuan where the Holy One resides.

Xiyuan is very far away from the main courtyard behind, if you want to go, you have to spend a long time.Obtaining Kangxi's order, Liang Jiugong had someone bring the sedan chair over, and respectfully invited Yunxiu to get on the sedan chair; after two quarters of an hour, the sedan chair stopped steadily in front of the courtyard.

Xiyuan imitates the layout of the palace, and has an imperial study room to handle government affairs for the emperor.

Because of the drowsiness in his mind, Yunxiu was quite tired, so he braced himself and looked aimlessly.

Suddenly, her expression froze. Why was there a...familiar maid standing beside the attendant holding the Four Treasures of the Study?

Like a flower in bud, the plain clothes couldn't hide the freshness in her bones.Small and exquisite, delicate and soft, with exquisite features, eyes full of misty spring water, carefully hidden in the center of the attendants.

She looked around for a while, and suddenly met Yunxiu's eyes.

Her face paled quickly, and then she lowered her head. The servant girl was like a frightened deer, almost smashing the paperweight in her hand.She bit her lip, weighed it over and over again, said a few words to the people around her in a hurry, pretended to have a stomachache, and turned around to run away.

The dizziness became more and more serious, Yunxiu resisted the discomfort, and said in a cold voice: "Stop."

Liang Jiugong was startled immediately, the maidservant with outstanding looks froze on the spot, trembling slightly, had no choice but to stop the thought of running away, and lowered her head as low as she could.

"Who is that?" Yunqin asked Liang Jiugong who was accompanying him.

Liang Jiugong turned his head and looked around, but he didn't find any clues for a long time. Who did Master Yi say "stop" to?

These attendants were chosen by him, could it be possible that they got mixed up with people who steal, rape and play tricks? !

The chief manager was very anxious, and he hadn't figured out why, but when he heard the concubine's question, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Those are all chosen by slaves... the servants in front of the imperial court..."

Ok.

Liang Jiugong picked it?

How about saying that it was chosen by the emperor!

In an instant, a wave of anger swept over, why, just keep it from her, but still do the thing of hiding the beauty in the golden house?

It turned out that the secret concubine Wang didn't enter the palace in 25 years, she had already entered the emperor's eyes at this time!

The anger of being fooled welled up in her heart, and Yunxiu almost laughed angrily.

Yes, she doesn't care that the emperor favors Han women, and she doesn't care that she falls out of favor.

But this kind of action stomped Yikun Palace's face on the ground, and where did she end up?

After calling her to accompany you, do you want to find someone to make a difference? !

It's just that at the beginning of the southern tour, Yunxiu was prepared in his heart. Although such a situation was unexpected, it was still reasonable.

The anger didn't last for a moment, and soon disappeared. She squinted her eyes, resisted the dizziness, and quickly regained her composure.

There is nothing to be angry about in the foreseeable future.They are all concubines, how much is their face worth?

Your majesty, forgive me for not being with you.

"Hiding such a beauty, Long Live is really a pleasure." Yunxiu walked forward slowly, bypassed the attendants who were kneeling on the ground, pulled Wang to stand up, and said sincerely, "What a blessing."

Seeing the maidservant's face clearly, Ruizhu and Liang Jiugong both gasped, this...

Ruizhu thought anxiously, such a beautiful woman, don't be mad at her!

Liang Jiugong was a little dazed, and then he was shocked and angry. Where did this person come from?

Then he slapped his head, it's broken, if Master Yi misunderstood, then it's okay? !

Facing Ruizhu's worried gaze, Yunxiu smiled slightly, waved his hands, and slowly let go of the terrified Wang, brushed off his sleeves, and walked away slowly with a sullen face.

As for the secret concubine, she had already looked away, but now she really doesn't care.

It's just a sign of headache, why is it getting worse?

It's okay, Zhizao Mansion also has doctors.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly chased after him, and was about to explain, but the next moment, his eyes widened in horror, and his liver and gallbladder burst with fear.

I saw the imperial concubine softening her body and fainting outside the courtyard gate...

"Your Majesty!" Ruizhu's eyes were red with anxiety, and she staggered forward to help her.

Her crying voice sounded: "Emperor doctor, called the imperial doctor! The empress cares so much about the Lord Long Live, and she is so full of eyes that she can't pretend to be other people, how can she bear the blow?!"

The author has something to say: [Small Theater: Three Responses]

Yunqin:?

Yunqin: ...

Yunqin: It's really my dear Ruizhu.
