[Story of Yanxi Palace] Empress Cookies

4.

Waiting for the emperor to take the people away, Rong Yin looked at the table full of delicious food, all of which were exquisite as if laughing at her own humbleness. Maybe what Concubine Xian did was right. Apart from being kind to herself in the palace, she also treated the high-ranking authorities well. It seems that there is no desire to think about it.No relatives outside the palace, no thoughts in the world, if you don't have the emperor's favor, then you really have nothing.

"Zhen'er, write a letter to the fourth elder brother's mother's house and ask them to send someone in and take them away. I want to worship the Buddha with a dry lamp and copy scriptures for three months. I don't want to see anyone." Rong Yin just wanted to calm down and think about it. Thinking, the fourth elder brother who was held by Concubine Xian all the time was also given away.

"Zhen'er really doesn't know what the empress is thinking. She angered the emperor and fell out of favor, then sent the fourth elder brother away, and now she wants to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with the green lamp. Does the empress want to die of old age in this harem?"

"If you want to leave, find another Gaozhi, just do it, I won't stop you." Rongyin handed over all the government affairs in her hands to Concubine Chun. She is smart, smart and intelligent, such a small matter will not trouble her.

It took only three days for Rong Yin's order to be issued, and the emperor had already arrived in front of the hall. When Zhen'er saw the emperor coming, she happily ran to the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor is here to see you."

"I heard it, the emperor, go back! The concubine has promised in front of the Buddha that she will be filial to the empress, fast and worship the Buddha, and copy scriptures for three months."

"Concubine Xian, if you are playing with your temper, I have already come to see you, but if you insist on this, then I can't change anything."

Rong Yin didn't answer. Before she was a queen, she knew that the power of the sky was unpredictable, and now she knows even more.

"Pass down my decree, let the Ministry of Rites choose ten volumes of the longest scriptures, and send them to Concubine Xian, so that Concubine Xian can present a gift to the queen." Rongyin copied it for half a year.

After that, the emperor seemed to have forgotten her, and when he waited to see her again, Yingluo had already become a concubine of Wei.

Now that it's winter, all the palaces should be lit with charcoal fires, but the charcoal in the Qianqing Palace is very choking. It looks like the gang of slaves from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with high eyesight and low hands, who don't know how to flatter.

"Zhen'er, change your clothes, I will go with the queen mother later." Rong Yin watched as she copied many scriptures, and one of the excellent scriptures was prepared for the queen mother.

The last time she was with the emperor, she didn't get any favors. Now that she went to the empress dowager's place, she always thought about not losing her fortune, but if she didn't take risks, how could she win a beautiful future.

Zhen'er found the black robe that Concubine Xian loved most in the past. Rong Yin frowned when she saw it, and did not refute, but Zhen'er noticed that recently, for some reason, the master's preferences are quite different from before. That's all, now I don't even like my favorite robe anymore.

"It's better to bring velvet flowers, and pearl earrings." This Zhen'er has become more and more comfortable with it, and Rong Yin is not afraid of her finding out that she is strange. However, the court lady inherited her previous idleness. Apart from being cruel to these concubines, Concubine Xian is indeed very kind to others.

"It's snowing outside, master, why don't we go out to the Queen Mother's place on another day!" It just started snowing outside, but judging by the situation, it might take a long time, Zhen'er comforted.

"Notice to prepare the sedan chair! It's snowing heavily today, I just go out to meet you, I haven't been out for half a year, so it's good to see the snow scene." Rong Yin insisted on this, and Zhen'er didn't dare to disobey her orders.

Rong Yin asked Zhen'er to find a box that would not enter the water, put the copied scriptures in it, and then took Zhen'er out of the house.

Who would have thought that they would run into the emperor on the road, this was the first time Rong Yin saw the emperor in half a year, the wind and snow were extremely heavy, although she couldn't see the face of the emperor, she could still see the frosty look on his face.

I am so self-willed, but it seems that the emperor is not doing so well without her. Thinking of this, I feel a little more comfortable.

"The concubine sees the emperor." Rong Yin said with a blessing.

"Why, I've finished copying the ten volumes of scriptures I selected for you. If you haven't copied enough, you can add a few more volumes." Although the emperor said that there are many state affairs, there are not too many romantic affairs. Before Wei Yingluo provoked him, Now he is as obedient as a rabbit.

Now this Concubine Xian has successfully completed his intentionally harsh and difficult task, and she is really a bit puzzled. I haven't seen anyone for half a year, and this snowy day hits me again.

"Of course it is enough to copy. If the emperor copied it himself, I'm afraid it will be the same as the concubine. But the emperor punished the concubine this time and asked the concubine to copy a good work, which is about to be sent to the queen mother. It's hard and rainy. I'm afraid this masterpiece will be ruined if I stay here, so the concubine retreats first." After Rong Yin finished speaking, she got into the sedan chair and drove away with a smile, the emperor looked at it twice, but couldn't say anything.

"Go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

The emperor, who originally wanted to go to the harem, really didn't like anyone, so he had to order Li Yu to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Does Concubine Xian have any relatives who have committed crimes? Let me find them out and punish them severely!" The emperor thought to himself, now that Concubine Xian is clever, and he has no tricks at all to find the Queen Mother as a backer.

Li Yu searched around before saying: "According to what I know, her younger brother was imprisoned and died in prison after being implicated in E Party I. Her mother was bumped to death outside the palace wall, and her father was also sent by you later." Frontier, exhausted to death on the road. So..."

"That's enough. Telling her things so wrongly, could it be that I can't kill her whole family?"

Li Yu: "..." I think it's pretty much the same in my heart!

When Concubine Xian arrived at the Empress Dowager's place, the old man was teasing mynah, who was sent by the prince to amuse the Empress Dowager.

"Concubine Xian is here. You have locked yourself up before, and there is no news of you in the palace. The emperor's persuasion is useless, and Ai's family has not gone to you. You have your own thoughts. Jinlan, the starling Take it down!" Rong Yin watched the Queen Mother's movements, and stepped forward to help her sit down.

"Sit down too!"

"The concubine is guilty. The queen mother asked the concubine to take good care of the six palaces, but the concubine let her temper guard the green light for the queen." Rong Yin knew the queen mother's temperament, and according to the regulations of the empress filial piety, this time she There must be serious problems, but the Queen Mother is soft-tempered, as long as she is sincere, she will naturally not blame her.

"Forget it, you child, don't be angry with the emperor in the future. In the end, you will be the one who suffers." The queen mother is old and doesn't want to care about young people. As long as she chooses a queen for the emperor, she will finally live up to this. Great Qing Dynasty.

Zhen'er helped Rong Yin up, Rong Yin beckoned, Rong Yin took out the scripture and showed it to the Empress Dowager, "This is the best scripture copied by my concubine in half a year, and I sent it here specially. Show the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager opened the scripture with a smile, but when she saw the writing on it, she was taken aback, looked at Concubine Xian with a solemn face and said, "This...isn't it?"

She is sixty years old and has never encountered such a bizarre thing in the palace.

"Zhen'er, you go down first! I also ask the queen mother to dismiss everyone in the palace." Concubine Xian spoke sincerely, but no one except the queen mother knew what kind of turmoil this was.

When everyone dispersed, the Queen Mother still cast her eyes on the calligraphy. She raised her son for more than 30 years, and Rong Yin has been watching since she was a child. Last March, she resigned. See her calligraphy.

"Concubine Xian, what's the matter? Could it be that you hired a calligrapher from outside and copied the queen's calligraphy by ten percent?" This is the most reasonable explanation that the queen mother can think of, but it doesn't make sense.

Naturally, Concubine Xian was the only one in her palace. To put it bluntly, hiring craftsmen to copy scriptures for her was a serious crime of treason.

"Empress Dowager, the concubine dare not lie now, so I have to tell the truth. Before the empress passed away, the concubine fainted in her mourning hall. Afterwards, I could dream of her every day, so I decided to worship the Buddha for her. And the concubine worshiped the Buddha At that time, I had a conversation with the queen in my dream."

"There is such a thing as a spirit ghost, Concubine Xian, you have to be careful." The queen mother looked at Concubine Xian's face, and then at this copy of calligraphy. thing.
