Qing Chuan's cousin is reborn

What Guo Guiren said was right, Concubine Liang did not dare to be too cruel to Li Changzai after all.If it weren't for the fact that Li often offended someone she couldn't afford to offend, she wouldn't even dare to ground her feet.

Li Changzai couldn't leave the Yonghe Palace for no reason because of her status, so her confinement was not so much a punishment as it was nothing.

"Master, don't be upset, servant girl heard that the scenery in the imperial garden is good, why don't we go for a walk?" Fuqin couldn't see the frowning of her master, so she hurriedly shared the news she had inquired.

Li Changzai was unmoved, and her voice was sharp: "It's winter, you are naked, do you want me to blow the cold wind?"

Others thought that Concubine Liang was lenient and dared not humiliate her, but Li Changzai didn't think so. She regarded this confinement as the most shameful thing in her life.If she could, she would wish to kill all the people who knew and laughed at her.

It's a shame that she has no power and power now, so she can only hide here in the Yonghe Palace.

Fuqin said: "Master, don't you love plum blossoms the most? The servants have already inquired. There is a plum grove in the imperial garden, which is very beautiful."

Li Changzai said that among all the flowers of Gao Jie, plum blossoms are her favorite. There is a small garden in the Rongqingtang of the Cao family, which is full of various plum trees.

"My maidservant heard that there is a green plum tree in the imperial garden, and the flowers are blooming just right now, why don't you go and see it? There are also green calyxes and jade plates. It is said that there are hundreds of species."

No matter how powerful the Cao family is, it is impossible to find so many varieties of plum blossoms for their granddaughter. The palace is different, and the treasures of the world are not boasted in the palace.There are many skilled craftsmen in the palace, and any rare gadgets from various places will be paid tribute to the capital.The comparison between the Cao family and the imperial palace is nothing but weeds.

Li Changzai was a little moved by what was said, she was thin-skinned and worried that she would be laughed at if she met other concubines, so she hesitated.

Fuqin saw what she was thinking, and said: "It's the servant's fault, I forgot that it's freezing cold and everyone is indoors, who wants to go out to play?"

Talking about listening carefully, Li Changzai immediately said: "Forget it, I have nothing to do with you, since you agreed, we might as well take a trip."

After saying this, she was a little worried again, "I never knew that the winter in the capital is so cold, if it wasn't for the lot of money given by my grandmother before leaving, how would we get along."

Li Chang had never been to the capital, and Jiang Ning would wear a jacket when it was coldest.This attire was far from enough in the capital, and she felt cold even with the charcoal basin burning in the house.

The palace distributes clothes for four seasons every year, four sets per season for nobles and below, but the styles and colors of these clothes are all the same, Li Changzai doesn't like it very much.She had inquired a long time ago, even though she didn't attend the Chinese New Year, she was also eligible to attend the banquet. This was her only chance to meet the emperor.

She didn't want to live like this all the time, so she needed to let the emperor remember it during the Chinese New Year.Then again, everyone wears the same clothes, so why does the emperor remember you?

Li Changzai took out 3000 taels of silver and asked the Shangyi Bureau to make twelve sets of clothes for her.

Yunrou doesn't care about things like this.Shangyi Bureau is also a good person, knowing that the opportunity is rare, and even gave out matching jewelry.

Of course, this requires additional money.

As soon as it changed hands, the 5000 taels of silver were gone.It's not that Li Changzai doesn't feel bad, but looking at those exquisitely crafted clothes, she feels that the money is worth it.

It is natural to wear it after spending money, Li Changzai said: "I remember a jacket embroidered with plum blossoms, you find it, and wear that one today. Also bring the matching jewelry."

Chang Zai's position is too low, and she can't use many things.The Shangyi Bureau also tried their best to keep this rich man.Everything is within the scope, but it is ingenious. At first glance, I thought it was a nobleman who was the lord of the first palace.

Take the plum blossom embroidered jacket that Li Chang was talking about as an example. The inside is of the finest brocade, and the outside of the jacket is sewn with fine white fox fur around the shoulders, wrists and waist.Paired with the plum blossom jewelry of the same style, from a distance I thought it was someone's fairy descending to earth.

Fuqin has served Li Chang since she was a child, and knows how beautiful she is, "Master is really a plum blossom fairy, and you look so good in this outfit."

Li Changzai was also very satisfied with her beauty, but when she thought that she had not yet become a favorite, her smile faded, "What's the use of being good-looking, the most important thing in the palace is beauties."

Li often hates people when she sees them now, Fuqin really doesn't know what to say.

Seemingly knowing that she was too negative, Li Chang was swallowing the rest of the words, "Isn't it going to go out, why not?"

This time Li Changzai behaved well, and went to find Concubine Liang before going out.Concubine Liang suffered from cold hands and feet in winter because of her illness in Xinzheku in her early years. When she went out to pay her respects all winter, she stayed in the palace.

She was worried that Li Chang's presence would cause trouble again, and she deliberately refused to let the other party go, but she knew that she couldn't persuade her from the other party's attitude.

It snowed in the capital two days ago, and now it's the coldest time, and she didn't want to go out, so she had to let the maid beside her follow her.

Concubine Liang said: "You only have one Fuqin by your side. If you have anything to do, you don't have anyone to help you. I'll let her follow you. If you have anything to do, you can leave it to her."

Li Chang pulled her face down on the spot.What does good wife mean?Is this to guard against her?

She stood up abruptly, "Follow if she wants to."

Concubine Liang's face became even paler, and she felt a little sad, so many people in the palace looked down on her, and even the eighth elder brother also suffered.Li often has such an expression, so how can the Cao family treat the eighth elder brother well?

Not to mention how Concubine Liang complained about herself, but only said that Li Chang was there, she took Fuqin and several court ladies and eunuchs to the imperial garden, Fuqin was holding a vase in her hand, it looked like that.

Guo Guiren found out about Li Chang's going to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers in an instant, her charming eyes rolled, and she chuckled, "Come on, let's go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers."

When it comes to appreciating flowers, everyone can see that Guo Guiren is eager to try, as if he is looking for trouble, but she has dealt with all the servants of Yikun Palace, and no one dares to refute even if she sees it.

The current Royal Garden is a bit fairy-like on the side of Meilin, Guo Guiren went straight to Meilin.Seeing Li Changzai dancing in the plum forest through layers of plum trees, she had to admit that she was a beauty.

After the dance, Guo Guiren clapped his hands, "This dance should only exist in the sky. Li Changzai's dancing posture is really beautiful. It's a pity that no one appreciates such a beautiful dancing posture except me, an ordinary person." She shook her head while sighing.

Li Chang put away her arms and gathered the cloak around her body, she bowed to Guo Guiren, "This concubine has seen Guo Guiren."

Guo Guiren helped her up with his own hands, and touched the smooth and white back of Li Changzai's hand, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Li Chang withdrew her arm calmly, her eyes were guarded.Guo Guiren didn't care either, she said: "I'm a straightforward person, so I won't go around in circles, I came here specially to find Li Changzai today."

looking for her?

Li Chang glanced at Fuqin, and Fuqin found a reason to take the slaves of Yonghe Palace away.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, you may as well just say it. The concubine is no different from an abandoned concubine. Your Majesty is looking for cooperation with the concubine. I don't know what you want the concubine to do?"

Li Changzai knew that the fifth elder brother also went to the Cao family, but her father chose the eighth elder brother instead of the fifth elder brother.As the fifth elder brother's biological mother, Guo Guiren didn't bear any grudges against the Cao family, so how could she kindly help her?

She is also desperate now, thinking that it is better to listen to what the other party has to say, in case it is beneficial to herself?

"I don't need you to do anything, it's just a pity that such a beautiful woman like you has been neglected in the palace, and I feel a little empathetic. If you want to be favored, I can help you, and even make you pregnant with an emperor's heir."

Guo Guiren is good at seduction, she looks like a vicious witch at this time, corrupting and bewitching people's hearts bit by bit.

It is undeniable that Li Changzai is attracted by her words, whether it is favor or heirs, she needs them all.

Taking a deep breath, Li Changzai said: "Your Majesty, you are not happy, and you are not bad, if there is such a good thing, why don't you take care of yourself first?" Don't think she doesn't know, Guo Guiren seems to be beautiful, but in fact, she has a good relationship with her. almost.Yikun Palace is next to Yongshou Palace, has the emperor ever thought about stopping by Yikun Palace?

Guo Guiren just looked at Li Changzai like this, and then she laughed. Guo Guiren's laughter was sweet, which made Li Changzai extremely uncomfortable.

Guo Guiren said: "Li Changzai is really smart, I like talking to smart people."

She took a few steps forward and looked at Youyou Meilin, "You're right, whoever has the ability to be tight with himself first, how could he give it up to others and create a love rival for himself for nothing."

"To tell you the truth, the method I'm talking about is not mine, but Concubine Liang. I don't want to do everything. I hope that one day Li Changzai can convince your father not to help Eighth Brother."

Li Changzai became more and more confused. Since it was Liang Concubine's prescription, she could just ask Liang Concubine directly, and Guo Guiren had to go through what to do.In this way, she can get benefits without worrying about being blackmailed by Guo Guiren in the future.

Guo Guiren saw through her thoughts at a glance, and said with a light smile: "I have been in the harem for many years, and I was once in charge of palace affairs. I have much more connections than Concubine Liang. You also know Concubine Liang's temper. Not only will I not protect you, but I will push you out to appease your anger. I am different, whether it is Concubine Tong or Concubine Shu, I am not very afraid of them."

Li Chang pondered for a long time, but in the end reason overwhelmed her desire. She said, "I don't care. I'm afraid I can't agree to Guo Guiren from my father. Don't get me wrong, Guo Guiren. It's not that I'm not good or bad, but that my father doesn't allow us to intervene." Regarding his matter, even if I ask him to support Brother Fifth, he may not listen to me."

Li Changzai felt that Guo Guiren said so much for the fifth elder brother, but it was really not her decision to fight for the reserves.Not to mention her, even her grandmother can only listen to her father on this matter.

Reaching out to pick off a plum blossom, Guo Guiren said indifferently: "Li Chang is worrying too much. In fact, I just have some problems with Concubine Liang, and I just want to make things difficult for her. I really don't care who your father supports. If you can let him go It’s best to pull out the eighth brother camp, and it won’t hurt me if I can’t.”

Li Changzai was skeptical, she didn't care whether Guo Gui believed it or not, she just wanted to express her position.Now that everything is said and done, it's nothing to take advantage of it.

"Guo Guiren, why don't you tell me what the method is?"

Is this a promise?

Guo Guiren didn't beat around the bush, she opened her mouth very straightforwardly: "Do you know how Concubine Liang was favored and gave birth to the eighth elder brother?" Before Li Chang could reply, she said, "Concubine Liang was just a Xin Zheku's lowly slave, she has been working as a laundry changer in Xinzheku, how could she meet the drunken emperor by such a coincidence?"

"In addition, others may not be aware that the emperor used Bizitang for Concubine Liang at that time, but Brother Ba still survived."

If Concubine Liang hadn't been living in the palace all the time, under the eyes of the emperor, the eighth elder brother's background would be questioned.

Probably this is also the case, the emperor is very gentle with the eighth elder brother, and he often sighed with her about the "extraordinary" of the eighth elder brother.

She turned around, "You are different from Concubine Liang, you are the emperor's decent concubine, and there are examples of Concubine Liang, so what's so difficult about giving birth to an heir?"

"Our emperor may be indifferent to women, but he is especially easy to talk to children. With children, at least he will not treat you as an invisible person like now. As long as the emperor is willing to get along with you, I think with your ability, it should not be difficult to win favor Bar?"

Li Changzai bowed solemnly to Guo Guiren. She guessed that Guo Guiren's purpose was definitely not so simple, but this matter was undoubtedly useful to her.That being the case, so what if she made Guo Guiren's knife?

The premise is that what Guo Guiren said is true.

Li Chang was thinking over and over again, and then gritted her teeth and spent money to find the old man in the palace to understand the matter, and finally she made up her mind to find Concubine Liang.

Li Changzai was very displeased with Concubine Liang's hiding, so she waved her left and right and said directly: "I want to become a favorite, and I want to give birth to a little elder brother, you can find a way to help me, or I will send someone to give birth to you." My dad sent a letter to ask him to support Big Brother. I think you should be clear that the eighth elder brother started a new life and the elder brother hated him to the bone. What do you think will happen if my father tells the eldest brother about the eighth elder brother? Or tell the emperor directly?"

Concubine Liang was trembling with anger, and she said: "What do you mean? It is up to the emperor whether you will be favored or not, how can I help you?" Concubine Liang didn't know where Li Chang heard such nonsense words, she actually felt that I have my own way.

Suddenly thinking of how Lichang met Guo Guiren a few days ago, she suddenly realized, "Did Guo Guiren tell you something? Let me tell you, Guo Guiren has no good intentions. Last time she almost shook her head in front of everyone." Eighth brother's thoughts, I am so angry that I can't argue with her, she must be holding a grudge and deliberately provoking."

Li Changzai was quite impatient, she said: "Okay, I'm not interested in the grievances between you and Guo Guiren, I just want to become a pet and give birth to an elder brother. Don't think I don't know, you also had one night and then had a big brother." Brother Eight."

I really thought she didn't know anything, if she hadn't found out, she wouldn't have come to look for Concubine Liang.

What Li Chang was looking for was none other than her grandmother's old acquaintance in the palace, and she was willing to spend money, so that person naturally knew everything and said everything.

Concubine Liang only felt a gust of cold air hit her, and seeing Li Changzai's determined eyes, she felt chills all over her body.

Li Chang had a look of not giving up until she reached her goal, "Why? Back then you could use everything to get rid of the hard life of slaves, but you can't do it when you come to me. It is also good for my elder brother to give birth to my elder brother. Now eighth elder brother There is only one Brother Nine by my side, wouldn’t it be good to have one more brother to help me in the future?”

Concubine Liang closed her eyes, the last thing she wanted to mention was the days when she was a slave in Xinzheku.

Wiping away her tears, she said: "Do you really want to know? Even if you are rejected by the emperor in the future, you will never be able to conceive again in your life?"

Li Chang was a little shaken, and then she thought about the difference between her current life and being rejected by the emperor, no matter how bad the emperor treated her, how bad could it be.

Just like Guo Guiren said, I am different from Concubine Liang after all, and Concubine Liang has not been favored since then, but it does not mean that she is also the same.

"You just have to tell me. It's my business if you don't regret it later. Don't worry, I won't ask for your prescription for nothing. When I get favored in the future, I will definitely speak good words for you to Brother Ba in front of the emperor."

"Since you have made up your mind, I will tell you."

Li Chang was surprised. Originally, she just wanted to blow up the concubine Liang, but she didn't expect that the other party really did.Thinking of this, her heart was full of fire, as if seeing her own bright future.

The days of winter seem to pass very quickly, and it is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

It was rare for Kangxi to rest for a day, "I heard that Xiao Shiliu often ran to the Imperial Garden these days? Why, what is he looking for?"

Liang Jiugong smiled and said: "It's the plum grove in the imperial garden. There are a few plum trees in the plum grove that bear fruit. Elder Sixteen is clamoring to make black plums to eat. No, he is worried that the fruit will be picked by others, so he has to go there every day Keep it."

The plum groves in the palace are not just for ornamental purposes, some of them can also bear fruit.The sixteenth elder brother took a fancy to some of the green plums. According to him, Concubine Shu's food has not been delicious these days, and it is the best to make dark plums with these, appetizing.

Kangxi frowned, "Concubine Shu still doesn't have any appetite? I remember a lot of pickled cucumbers were tributed below. Concubine Shu likes to eat that, so you can send more."

In fact, Yunrou's consumption is not too small. There is a bowl of rice for each of the three meals a day, but compared with the occasional snacks in the past, it seems a lot less.

The imperial physician also said that Concubine Shu is in good health and has nothing wrong with her.It's just that Xiao Shiliu is worried and insists on tossing.

"Come on, let's go to Merlin too."

Kangxi took Liang Jiugong to Meilin, and heard the sound of the piano from a distance.The sound of the zither was far and clear, making people feel calm, and with the fragrance of plum blossoms in the air, Kangxi couldn't help but close his eyes.

After the song was over, Kangxi realized that he had walked to the side unknowingly.Perhaps because she found someone next to her, the person playing the piano stood up suddenly in fright, and she almost fell down because she couldn't stand still.Kangxi subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab her.

Li Changzai hurriedly knelt down, "My concubine often met the emperor in the Cao family."

"It's actually you?" Kangxi didn't expect that the person playing the piano was actually Cao Yin's daughter. To be honest, he only brought her into the palace because of rumors, and because of the rumors, he still didn't like Li Changzai.Today I found out that she plays the qin very well, and the clear sound of the qin is like fairy music.

He thought that the woman who could play such a piano sound should not be the kind of person with deep thoughts.

"Why is Li Chang here? Did you see Elder Sixteen?" Surprised, Kangxi didn't forget his purpose.

Li Chang was holding back her excitement, she said: "The concubine has loved plum blossoms since she was a child, I heard that plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are rare in the world, and I would come here to take a stroll when the weather is good. The concubine has been playing the piano here and has not seen brother sixteen. Does the emperor need concubines to help find it?"

She spoke cautiously, with tentative eyes, and quickly shrank back when Kangxi looked over.

Kangxi was taken aback again, and then he waved his hand, "No need. I already guessed where Xiao Shiliu went, so I won't disturb Li Chang's elegant mood."

After speaking, he took Liang Jiugong to the other side.

The plum grove in the imperial garden can be divided into two parts, one part is purely ornamental, where Li Chang is; the other part is fruit-bearing, where you should be able to find sixteen princes.

Seeing the back of the emperor going away, Fuqin was a little anxious, "Master, why did the emperor leave?"

Li Chang looked down at the sachet on her body and smiled. She realized that the emperor didn't feel anything about her, which meant that their strategy was successful.

This is enough.

"It's okay, we still have a chance. Come here today, take the piano and let's go back."

She understands the principle of step by step. Back then, she used this to invade her grandmother's heart little by little, and made her look at her differently.

In the past, she was anxious because she couldn't see hope, but now that she saw a turning point, she knew that she couldn't be anxious.What she wants is grace, not a sanctuary for one elder brother like the good concubine.

Meeting Li Changzai during the day, and seeing Li Changzai embroidering plum blossom clothes at night, he couldn't help but think of the figure under the plum tree. Kangxi pointed to a dish on the table, "Send it to Li Changzai."

That dish happened to be made with plum blossoms, and Kangxi pointed it directly at Li Changzai and brought everyone's attention to Li Changzai.

Usually, those who get rewards at banquets and banquets are the lord of the first palace, why is Li Chang here?

Among these people, the jealous concubine Zhang Shu couldn't accept it the most.

After the palace banquet, Yunrou felt unwell and went back to the palace to rest early, Kangxi somehow suddenly remembered the shadow under the plum tree again.He drank a lot of wine today, he thought it would be better to go to the Royal Garden for a walk to get rid of the alcohol.

I never thought that I would meet Li Changzai again in the Imperial Garden.

Li Chang did not go back, she was wearing the dress embroidered with plum blossoms at the banquet, and she was dancing in the plum forest.

Kangxi seemed to be possessed, and walked straight over.

Seeing this posture, Liang Jiugong felt that he would suffer, so he hurriedly trotted over and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the night is heavy, and the concubine Shu Gui concubine told you that the slave will watch you and let you go back to the palace to rest as soon as possible."

Kangxi came back to his senses, his face was a little uncomfortable, he coughed a few times, "In that case, let's go."

He turned his head and walked away without seeing that Li Chang was there. Liang Jiugong thought that the emperor had forgotten, so he didn't tell Concubine Shu.But he didn't want that less than two days later, Kangxi suddenly called Li Chang to be in bed.

Looking at the brochure in front of her, Concubine Tong suspected that she was hallucinating.How could it be possible, the emperor was lucky to have Li often here.

She stamped it in a trance, and said, "Go and find out if the Cao family has entered Beijing today?"

Looking at the phoenix seal in her hand, Concubine Tong Gui laughed at herself, thinking that the emperor was just like other men, but it turns out that he likes the new and dislikes the old.

Poor Concubine Shu Gui has been scolded as a demon concubine for so many years, but she can't withstand the erosion of time after all.
