Rebirth · Mausoleum

A few days later, the emperor and Xi concubine personally saw nobleman Qi insulting Jiang Changzai and his personal servants. The emperor felt sorry for Jiang Changzai and was furious on the spot.Jiang Chang is in the hands of the master of the Yonghe Palace. Jiang Changzai, who was born as a court lady, has more real power than Qi nobles. Because Qi often acts on the basis of the emperor's or empress's favor, and the big harem is watching the excitement. Some people were there, but there were quite a few poor Jiang Chang.

"Your Honor Qi sent someone to cry in front of the Palace again."

As usual, Jianqiu rubbed the acupuncture points for the empress, "My servant thinks that the noble Qi is so muddy that he can't support the wall. Originally, the empress was already planning for her how to return to the concubine, but she let the concubine take advantage of it. Now it's over. It made the empress even worse."

"Concubine Xi just returned to the palace not long ago, and there is no one in Zhongcui Palace. How could she have the ability to catch noble Qi so quickly. Looking at this matter, I must be helping Concubine Xi behind the scenes."

"Your Majesty, you mean the one who just gave birth?"

"As for anyone who has not dealt with me in the past few years, they are the only ones. No matter how concubine Yao says she is blessed with this child, she can only have a daughter in the end, and even God is helping me." The queen reluctantly With a smile, "The most important thing now is Concubine Xi's baby. Even though she is only a concubine, after the emperor heard that she was unknown, he just let her move around less and is still more favored than Concubine Yao. If she gave birth to a boy... Alas, your majesty First because nobleman Lan demoted Guerjia's position, and now because Concubine Xi grounded her and even let a court lady step on her head, I'm afraid Guerjia will be abolished."

"Isn't there still Empress Rong and Jiang Chang here?"

"This time, I need to appease Jiang Changzai. I have informed the emperor, and the emperor has issued an order to bestow the title 'Yu' on the Jiang family. She will be happy in the future." The queen said unhappy, "Jianqiu, go and send the imperial physician, I have a severe headache."

"The slave is going here."

"My younger sister has newly acquired Mu Yang, so I'm afraid I'll be busy for a while." Concubine Duan smiled, "Wen Yi and Yan Xu had a great time, but it's only been five months since Concubine Jing's raised Obscure Moon came back from Concubine Xi. Stay away from them."

"When Concubine Xi returns to the palace, I don't think Jing Guifei has that kind of thought in mind."

"Xi Concubine is Miyue's biological mother, so it is right for Miyue to return to Xipin's side. But all these years, we have noticed that Concubine Jing has loved Miyue, and we are afraid that she will not."

"Yes, Concubine Jing is a smart person, but no matter how smart a person is, they can't escape the word love, let alone the love between mother and daughter." Concubine Duan sighed.

"Your Majesty, have you heard the news that Concubine Xi has twins in her belly?"

"Even someone like me, who doesn't listen to the news, knows about the news about the Six Palaces." Concubine Duan looked at the little clothes An Lingrong was embroidering for Mu Yang, "The rumors about her belly being five months older than usual are naturally not true. The attack broke through, and the emperor rejected all those who wanted to congratulate Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi overwhelmed the nobleman Qi and established her prestige in the harem. Now the rumors about the child in her belly have been dispelled. No one in the harem dares to say anything about her. no."

An Lingrong carefully embroidered the bird's pattern, "I'm afraid that someone in the previous court will know about such a big happy event. It's time for those old men to stop talking."

Concubine Duan said kindly, "Now the empress is having a headache, they are busy with theirs, and we are taking care of ourselves. We can watch others fight, that's when we are free."

An Lingrong nodded, "Yesterday the emperor went to Suiyuxuan, but after sitting for a while, he went to Chunxi Palace."

"It's rare for the emperor to go to Suiyuxuan. It's a pity that Concubine Hui is a proud person, and she can't let go of the past."

An Lingrong counted the days carefully, Mei Zhuang should be happy in a while, and smiled casually, "Without grace, with the tone in my heart, I can only be the one who is uncomfortable."

"Is Concubine Hui quiet all these times?"

"The emperor visited once a few months ago, but there is nothing else. Concubine Hui has a good relationship with Ning Guiren these days. One of these two is arrogant, and the other is lonely. I don't know how to get together. Why does my sister suddenly treat Hui?" Concubine fell in love?"

An Lingrong's embroidered hand paused, "It's nothing, I just remembered some past events."

This life is strange, after the emperor went to Suiyuxuan once, he did not untie the knot in Shenmeizhuang's heart, Shenmeizhuang was still the unfavored concubine Hui, and the child was even more silent.Could the accident in the middle be related to what she did in the past.

Sun Miaoqing thought that Sister An probably remembered the past, so she didn't say much about it.

"The empress has been ill for several months, and the important affairs of the harem are all in the hands of Concubine Jinggui and Concubine Duan." Sun Miaoqing blinked and ate the walnuts on the table, "Is my sister making small clothes for the child in my sister's belly? ?”

"That's right." An Lingrong spread the fabric, "Do you think it's better to embroider peach blossoms or plum blossoms."

Sun Miaoqing took a look and said with a naive smile, "As long as it's embroidered by my sister, it's good."

Now that Sun Miaoqing is eight months pregnant, Jiang Cheng has already diagnosed that Sun Miaoqing is also pregnant with a princess this time.An Lingrong was a little envious of Sun Miaoqing from the bottom of her heart, not only was she able to have both sons and daughters now, but also her wishes came true.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something happened to Concubine Xi." Zhu'er came running from outside.

"Be rash, Miaoqing is still here."

Sun Miaoqing gave up, "It doesn't matter, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Concubine Xi?"

Zhu'er bowed and said brightly, "The empress took the Jinxi who was beside the concubine Xi, and Su Peisheng who was beside the emperor. It is said that Su Peisheng treasured Cui Jinxi's sachet embroidered with 'Liuye Hexin' in his sleeve, and the empress The empress found the first thing in the room of the two, and the two empresses guessed who reported it."

"This matter must be known to those who are close to Xi Concubine."

"It is for this reason that the news that this servant heard was that Concubine Jing told the Queen to expose the matter."

Sun Miaoqing said, "If Concubine Jinggui really reported it, I'm afraid it's to tarnish Concubine Xi's reputation and keep Obscure Moon."

An Lingrong shook his head, "If this is true, Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi have become rivals in private. Su Peisheng is familiar with the emperor's preferences. Concubine Xi is equivalent to having someone in front of the emperor. Not only does she know that the emperor's thoughts are fast, but she can also influence the emperor's thoughts. mean."

"Perhaps it is because of Jinxi and Su Peisheng that Xipin and the Emperor met by chance at Ganlu Temple." Sun Miaoqing thought about it carefully, "Sister, since we are no longer on good terms with Xipin, we must not keep the relationship between these two. "

"You're right." An Lingrong put down the embroidered clothes, "This matter involves Concubine Xi, it's not easy for Concubine Xi to speak up. Since the Empress has pointed out this mistake, she must deal with it strictly. It depends on our intentions now." .”

"If we want to cut them off, we won't be fulfilling the queen's wish."

"Su Peisheng has served the emperor since he was a child, and the emperor will punish him severely for public affairs, but everyone has selfish intentions. There is no other servant in the palace who is in line with the emperor's wishes. In terms of personal interests, the emperor will definitely not let Su Peisheng go." An Lingrong smiled slightly and asked Zhu'er, "Su Peisheng must be being tortured right now and asked who gave him the sachet?"

"Yes."

"Have there been rumors that the person Su Peisheng recruited was Cui Jinxi?"

Zhu'er shook her head, "No, otherwise Cui Jinxi would not have been sent to the Punishment Department temporarily, but would have been directly executed by the queen for the crime of disturbing the palace."

"Exactly," An Lingrong said to Sun Miaoqing, "Since the two of them have feelings for each other, we don't have to separate them, but Su Peisheng is absolutely determined not to stay by the emperor's side, so that Concubine Xi will soon know what the emperor means."

Sun Miaoqing nodded thoughtfully.

"This tea is cold, it's only six points, what I want is seven points!"

Xiao Xiazi had gotten used to Yongzheng's dislike for the past few days, but he still came in with a look of fear to change his tea.

Yongzheng frowned and put down his pen, "Su Peisheng is gone, everyone is really worried."

Xiao Xiazi brought a new cup of tea, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, you have been reviewing papers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for the past few days. It is now afternoon. If you don't take a nap, do you want to go somewhere to relax?"

Yongzheng thought about all the palaces he remembered in his mind, and finally he stayed on the quiet and relieved person, "Go to Yanxi Palace, Concubine Yao's."

"The emperor is coming today, why don't Xiao Xiazi inform his concubines." An Lingrong poured a cup of tea for the emperor.

"I miss you, so I'm here, and there's no need to pass it on."

An Lingrong smiled embarrassedly, and sat down on the couch next to the emperor's table, "The emperor's words are like the way a master speaks to his wives and concubines."

"Why, don't you like it?"

"The emperor is willing to talk to the concubine like this, but the concubine thinks of the appearance of the concubine's father and mother in the past, and the concubine is too late to be happy." An Lingrong looked at the emperor drinking tea with his chin resting.

"What is Rong'er looking at?"

"The concubine is watching the emperor drinking tea."

"Why do you want to watch me drink tea?"

An Lingrong tilted his head, "Because the concubine likes the emperor, the emperor's taste is changing, but the concubine always wants to make the emperor feel more comfortable with the concubine, last time the concubine poured the emperor a new tribute of jujube The emperor drank a few sips of tea, and the concubine changed to the new season's Dragon Well Tea to see if the emperor likes it."

Yongzheng finally understood why he was always served comfortably in Anlingrong, and his heart softened a little when facing this woman who was so devoted to her own sip of tea, "You want to know, I will tell you You are, why bother."

"But if the concubine asks the emperor, what's the point? If Eunuch Su was here in the past, the concubine could not guess it occasionally, but I can ask Eunuch Su a few words. It happens that Eunuch Su is not free these days, and the concubine can't guess. I have to tell the emperor when I come out." An Lingrong blinked.

Yongzheng smiled and moved aside, patted the empty space beside him, "Come here."

An Lingrong sat next to Yongzheng, leaning his head on Yongzheng's shoulder, and Yongzheng also took advantage of the opportunity to embrace An Lingrong's still thin shoulders, and smelled a different but equally soothing scent of incense.

"It's my good fortune that I can let Rong'er worry so much."

"The concubine said that the concubine is happy with the emperor, and naturally she is willing to be punished for the emperor, but it's these trivial things."

Yongzheng's expression flickered slightly, "Since Rong'er likes me, how can I be willing to let Rong'er be punished. I came here today to ask you something."

An Lingrong bent his eyes slightly, and pretended to yawn, "The emperor said that my concubine is listening."

"What does Rong'er think about Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi?"

"The concubine said it, the emperor can't blame the concubine."

"nature."

"In the eyes of my concubine, these two are old people in the palace, and they will not be ignorant of the consequences of this pairing. But they are still together, it is clear that there is love. Besides, one is the person who is close to the emperor and the other is Xi. There are close and considerate people around my concubine. If these two people are missing, the emperor will feel uncomfortable, and my concubine will also be unhappy. If you punish the two of them, but don't let them separate. It's all right for him The affection between the two of you. What's more, the concubine still has something to ask Mr. Su for advice..."

Yongzheng looked at the person in his arms who was talking softer and softer. It was obvious that his eyes were sleepy. He smiled helplessly. He shouldn't have come to her when he was taking a nap. He picked her up and scared An Lingrong sobered up a lot. .

"emperor!"

"Don't panic, aren't you sleepy? I'll carry you to the bed."

An Lingrong blushed with shame and closed her eyes.

Yongzheng couldn't help but look twice, and jokingly said, "It's not the first time, Rong'er is still so shy."

An Lingrong only pretended not to hear, Yongzheng put An Lingrong on the bed, ordered An Lingrong's personal servants to come back after dinner, and then drove back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the emperor left, An Lingrong opened his eyes, turned over and fell asleep comfortably.Her words were confusing, but she believed that the emperor must have become somewhat suspicious.

According to An Lingrong's thinking, Cui Jinxi and Su Peisheng are fellow villagers, and there has been no news of their rivalry for so many years, so it can be seen that one of Cui Jinxi and Su Peisheng must be unwilling.However, after several days of torture, Su Peisheng still did not confess that his opponent was Cui Jinxi, which shows that Su Peisheng has affection for Cui Jinxi.The person who did not want to be Cui Jinxi.Then why is Cui Jinxi willing again now?Thinking about the Ganlu Temple where Concubine Duan said that Su Peisheng went to the emperor, the purpose of Cui Jinxi's willingness to have dinner with Su Peisheng is very clear: to get Zhen Huan back to the palace.After returning to the palace, the two did not separate, so it can be seen that either the two really had some feelings, or Zhen Huan wanted to use Cui Jinxi to catch up with Su Peisheng, who knew the emperor's thoughts in the first place.And the latter is obviously the reason for existence in the palace.

What An Lingrong said just now revealed Su Peisheng's thoughts on Cui Jinxi, and also aroused the emperor's suspicion of Cui Jinxi's intentions.After all, emperors are jealous of others prying into anything about him. Of course, the favored concubine who is holding in the palm of his hand at the moment does not count, and it will only count when he is not favored.

Sitting on the sedan chair where an emperor should sit, Yongzheng thought carefully about what An Lingrong said just now, that the matter between Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi should also be settled.

"Your Majesty, this is the expenses of each palace this month." The Empress spread out the account book, "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Yongzheng flipped through them casually, "The matter of Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi hasn't been resolved yet."

"Yes," the queen saw the emperor's relaxed expression, "Su Peisheng is an old man by the emperor's side, and my concubines dare not make claims."

"Well, Xiao Xiazi, go and call the two of you here." The emperor looked at the queen, "I will make my own decision on this matter. If the queen is fine, go back and rest first."

The queen's expression flickered slightly, "The concubine will leave first."

After a while, both Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi were brought to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Yongzheng saw that the two bowed their heads respectfully, and shook off the warm beads on his hands, "You two are also old people in the palace, you can do this in disregard of the palace rules, you can tell the reason for this."

Su Peisheng kowtowed, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this servant is old, and I just want to have a company with Jinxi, and I have no other thoughts." He didn't mention Cui Jinxi in his words, but he ignored Cui Jinxi's reason clean.

Cui Jinxi originally married Su Peisheng for the sake of Zhen Huan's return to the palace, but these days, seeing Su Peisheng protecting her like this, he felt a little sincere. The two came here to settle the matter, with tears in their eyes, they kowtowed heavily, "The mind of this servant is the same as that of Eunuch Su."

There was a trace of satisfaction in Yongzheng's eyes, and he stopped the action of throwing the beads, "It's best if you two love each other. You have served in the palace for many years, and you have worked hard even if you have no credit. I will give you two to marry .”

Both Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi were pleasantly surprised, and before they had time to thank them, the emperor continued, "It's just that this is unseemly, and there is a reason for the empress to deal with it strictly. I will give you both a generous sum of money to send you two out." If you live in the palace, I will say to the outside world that the two of you died suddenly, which not only fulfilled the dignity of the queen, but also fulfilled the friendship between the two of you, how about it?"

If Su Peisheng was very surprised by the emperor's words, then Cui Jinxi was mixed with some hesitation in the same surprise.The expressions of the two, Yongzheng had a panoramic view, and the suspicion buried in his heart instantly expanded, and he asked, "Why, Cui Jinxi, do you have any objections?"

Although Cui Jinxi is an old man in the palace, she can fully understand the meaning of the emperor because she does not serve the emperor personally. She said, "This servant has been taking care of Empress Xi personally since she entered the palace. After several twists and turns, I will never let go of the kindness of my master and servant."

Yongzheng began to fiddle with his string of beads again, and his tone inadvertently added a bit of chill, "If you want to stay, it's okay, but it's not decent after all, if you stay in the palace, you will be punished and you will be cut off. contacts."

Su Peisheng was aware of the dislike of the emperor's tone, and felt that Cui Jinxi was still not completely sincere with him, but hearing the emperor's tone, there was no room for negotiation, so he hurriedly kowtowed, "Don't talk about Jinxi, this servant has been with the emperor for decades, and it's even worse It's because I don't want to part with the slave and the emperor's master-servant relationship. It's just that since this matter is the emperor's grace, it's too late for the slave and Jinxi to be happy. But it's according to the emperor's arrangement."

Seeing that Su Peisheng accepted the emperor's arrangement, Cui Jinxi could only give up and thank him together.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Hall of Mental Cultivation that Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi died suddenly. The Emperor and Concubine Xi have served and cared for them for many years, and they have been buried with honor. Then the matter of food is not easy to pursue, and it will be left alone. "Zhu'er rubbed An Lingrong's shoulders, "Although this is said, the emperor has changed all the people related to Su Peisheng in Yangxin Palace. Concubine Xi was even more sad when she heard the news. After looking at the buried coffin for a while, I ordered an irrelevant little eunuch to knock on it secretly, and it was hollow."

"It seems that the emperor has really fulfilled these two people as I said." An Lingrong murmured with satisfaction, "Now Zhen Huan's left and right arms are gone... Apart from these two, Zhen Huan is the only one left. I'm the queen. I can't do anything for the time being, if the queen wants to do something, I'm afraid she will touch Zhen Huan herself. I suddenly feel that it's really interesting to see Zhen Huan getting deeper and deeper in the prison just like I was back then."

"My lady, what are you talking about, the servant did not hear clearly."

"It's nothing." An Lingrong smiled slightly, "Dinner is ready."

"Of course, the emperor is coming to our place, and the small kitchen has already prepared things."
