Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]
Chapter 88
Bai Guo was startled when he heard the words, but the nanny next to him, who was carefully watching Gu Xiaohuang's grandson, laughed in surprise, and laughed repeatedly beside Bai Guo, "Princess Jing is overjoyed."
"Mommy, what's the big deal, let's listen to it." Wen Sushu was talking to Zhang Guijun, but his eyes still fell on the little emperor and grandson, for fear that the palace servants would not care enough to bump into him. When Sun Bing spoke in front of Bai Guo, he didn't speak loudly, he didn't hear the truth, but seeing the happy look on Nanny's face, he couldn't help asking curiously.
The little grandson blinked, ran to Wen Sushu and pointed to the eighth prince who was in the swaddle, covered his eyes and looked at Bai Guo, shyly said: "Brother, there is a younger brother."
Wen Sushu usually took care of the little emperor's grandson, and he could guess the gibberish words that the child said all over the sky. Now he also understood what the little emperor's grandson was talking about, but he couldn't laugh or cry: "He'er is so powerful, how can you tell me?" Can you see that Princess Jing has a baby in her belly?"
Little Huangsun corrected: "It's my younger brother."
Several empresses and masters in the hall laughed when they heard the words, Zhang Guijun was also teased by the child, only to make Bai Guo blush, fidgeting and looking down at her belly, her expression was still very bewildered.
If Princess Qin were to see this scene, she would definitely make fun of Bai Guo, but Zhang Guijun has a gentle temper, and Wen Sushu has a slightly colder personality, so no one will make trouble with Bai Guo any more, so he just changed the subject. In two days, Emperor Jin and Yuan will go to the palace to escape the summer heat.
Bai Guo had heard from Xie Lin earlier about this matter. King Yu and Concubine Xu went to Jiangzhou and did not return for several months. I heard that they encountered a difficult case in Jiangzhou and were left there by Emperor Jin Yuan to supervise and solve the case. As for King Qin went to the northwest for disaster relief, and Princess Qin ran back to her natal family to raise her baby, so the only adult princes who could accompany Emperor Jin Yuan to the palace were the crown prince and Xie Lin.
"Jian'er just passed the ceremony of the full moon, but this time I will accompany His Majesty to go." Zhang Guijun is a man with everything to do, with a smile on his face, he just said, "It's hard work for you to go out with Shengjia Two and take care of yourself."
Bai Guo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
Wen Sushu also nodded.
As for the little emperor's grandson who was in his arms again, he asked curiously: "What is Sui Shengjia?"
Wen Sushu hugged him and taught him with a smile: "It is to go out of the palace with He'er's grandfather."
The little emperor's grandson's eyes lit up: "Go out of the palace, let's play! He'er likes it!"
Wen Sushu scratched his little nose, and the milk baby giggled happily.
In the afternoon, Xie Lin ordered the palace staff to call Bai Guo out of the palace together, and Wen Sushu naturally bid farewell to Zhang Guijun.The little emperor's grandson had a restless temper at the moment, and when he returned to the East Palace, he refused to be hugged, and just ran around on the gravel road in a "da da da" manner.
Wen Sushu's personal maid followed the little emperor's grandson, and the nanny followed Wen Sushu, hesitating to speak.
Wen Sushu said with a faint smile: "Nurse seems to have something to hold back for a long time, what do you want to say?"
The grandma was transferred to Wen Sushu by the crown prince later. She is a loyal and honest old nanny with a careful mind. She knows that although Wen Sushu is a bit cold-tempered, he is a rare and easy-going master. When asked by Wen Sushu, The nanny might as well just smile and say: "Before I entered the palace, there was a saying in my hometown that the eyes of a young child with clear thoughts are the most transparent spiritual eyes in the world, and can foresee things that ordinary people don't know in advance. Today, the little grandson pointed to Princess Jing and said with certainty that the princess has a younger brother in her womb, and the slaves thought about it for a moment, thinking that Princess Jing might be in her womb now..."
"Mummy still takes that seriously? It's just a child's mischievous nonsense." Wen Sushu glanced at the little grandson, but shook his head in disbelief, "A few days ago you were sick and didn't take care of He'er, and you didn't know The prince was afraid that he would be bored, and specially hugged a cat from a neighboring country for him, but when he saw the cat, he pointed at the cat and said it was a bad thing. Bengong asked him why he said that, and the mother guessed what Heer was doing. explain?"
"The little emperor's grandson speaks so childishly that the slaves can't guess."
Wen Sushu continued helplessly: "He said, that cat is a bad thing. The day before yesterday, he had fun playing with some birds in the yard. The day after tomorrow, he ignored the birds and only made out with the parrot outside His Highness's study room. One day, those birds flew in again to beg for food, and He'er pointed to the new birds and cried, saying that all the birds had babies of the bad cat, how could the bad cat still beg for food? How about playing with the parrot?"
The little emperor's grandson is innocent, and Wen Sushu couldn't explain to him that cats and birds can't have babies, so he had to ask the prince to send the bad cat away quickly, and then he had a few days of peace.
"It's just a child about three years old, what does he know?" Wen Sushu said.
The nanny also laughed when she heard the words, she just felt that she was thinking too much.
……
In two days it will be the day when Emperor Jin and Yuan will set off for the summer palace. I don't know what the emperor is thinking, but the concubines who accompanied him and served him have selected four people, except for the new empress Ning Anrong, the concubine Bao who is very favored by the emperor, They were Wan Youlan who was promoted to Liangyi at some time, and a young Jieyu who had just been favored among the last show girls.
When Bai Guo was watching the servants packing the suitcases for the palace in the palace, he happened to hear the attendant say something like this, and was a little surprised: "That Wanmei was actually promoted to Liangyi?"
The attendant said: "The news that the palace will release should be unmistakable."
Compared with Concubine Bao, Wanmei is not favored in the palace. Bai Guo has an impression of her because she had a quarrel with another good-looking master in front of Emperor Jin Yuan when Zhang Guijun held a peach blossom banquet.I remember that at that time Emperor Jin Yuan just ignored the matter and didn't punish the two of them, but he didn't want that Wanmei was promoted to Liangyi after only a month or two. .
Bai Guo thought this way, the box containing the clothes and luggage was carried into the carriage by the palace guards, Xie Lin was in the study talking with a few confidants who had just rushed back to the capital, and heard that Yu Wang was in Jiangzhou because of the case of Jiangzhou magistrate's extermination of the family. No time to return to Beijing, can't help showing deep thought.
"Your Highness?" Bai Guo knocked on the door outside the study.
Xie Lin came back to his senses, stepped forward to open the door, and several confidantes stepped aside quickly.
"Everything has been tidied up, come and ask His Highness when to leave?" Bai Guo said shyly and cautiously when he saw some strange faces in the room.
Xie Lin took his hand and walked out: "Anytime."
Bai Guo couldn't help but turn around and said, "Your Highness, there are still some gentlemen in the room..."
Xie Lin leaned over and pinched the tip of his nose: "Look at me, don't look at them, huh?"
Bai Guo blushed, looked left and right, and all the servants lowered their eyes, raised them and gave Xie Lin a small stare: "Your Highness!"
Xie Lin chuckled, shook his head and led him out of the palace.
The emperor went out of the palace, accompanied by the imperial guards, and the battle was astonishing.The bright yellow sedan roof is at the front, followed by the luan chariots of several concubines and empresses.Bai Guo was not very familiar with those concubines, he just stayed in his own sedan chair, swaying along with the team while eating tea.
The journey to the palace is long, and it takes seven days to arrive.In the afternoon of the first day, Xie Lin was called to attend the imperial court, and Bai Guo took a nap, then an attendant came in and whispered that the prince and side concubine had arrived.
"Please come in." Bai Guo hurriedly said.
Bai Guo was wearing a light green robe today, with realistic bamboo leaves embroidered on the corners of his clothes. When he saw the plain book coming in, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a coincidence."
Wen Sushu looked up and saw that the clothes on the two were almost similar, so he also raised his eyebrows.
Bai Guo poured him a cup of fruit tea to quench his thirst, and said strangely: "It's rare that the little emperor's grandson is not with you."
Wen Sushu took a sip of tea slowly, said with a light smile, "Your Majesty is so rare for his grandson, and asked He'er to play in the imperial court."
Bai Guo said: "It would be great if the little emperor's grandson could be loved by His Majesty."
Wen Sushu smiled and nodded, leaning on the pillow behind: "It's rare to be free, I heard that King Jing has also gone to the Imperial Palace, so I came to talk to you."
"The road is boring, and today is the first day." Bai Guo said, took out a few plates of snacks from the dark drawer and put them on the table, "Have a try?"
Wen Sushu was stunned for a moment by his treasure bag-like drawer, and when he came back to his senses, he picked up a piece of pastry and ate it: "It tastes very good."
Bai Guo then smiled and said, "I sent someone to specially prepare something that can be eaten on the road. It's still inferior to the fresh dim sum at home."
Wen Sushu said: "You are really strange. When others heard that they were on the road, they all told their subordinates to bring more biographies to pass the time. You are better...you are only greedy for this appetite."
Bai Guo didn't say that she also brought a script, but said with a smile: "Then what did our Concubine Wen bring?"
Wen Sushu sighed after hearing the words: "Only the little grandson is in the car. I don't need to bring anything to make it lively enough. The child is very energetic and can't stop doing anything. It's rare if he can sleep peacefully. For a while, it can also make people relax for a while."
Bai Guo had never raised a child, but she could still imagine the child's fuss, so she just smiled and said to Wen Sushu, take a good rest by his side and eat some snacks to replenish her body.
Wen Sushu almost believed his evil.
The two were talking, but for some reason the conversation fell on the concubines who were with Emperor Jin Yuan.
Emperor Jia and Feng Jia are separated, since the team broke out and started marching, the people at the other end of Feng Jia have been silent as if they didn't exist, and no one has seen the figure of the new queen from the beginning to the end.As for Concubine Bao, it was very lively, because she was the concubine who was being favored. Concubine Bao ordered someone to hook a kite on the frame. When the wind blows, when the kite falls, everyone on Baofei's side will exclaim in surprise. Even the young generals accompanying them can't help but look at the kite.
Hearing the din and frolicking outside the car, Wen Sushu pushed aside the curtain on the car, frowned slightly and said: "This Concubine Bao is too unscrupulous."
Bai Guo shook her head and said, "Compared to He Huibi before, Concubine Bao is not enough."
Wen Sushu was a beautiful girl selected by the local government to enter the palace, and was later pointed out to the prince, so he was not very familiar with He Huipin, only knew that she was the former favorite concubine of Emperor Jin and Yuan, but she was so beautiful, now not only did she not have the ability to meet her in person The right to bring up the parents and children, even the palace of Empress Concubine Hui after she no longer loves her is even more like a cold palace and a cold pool.
In his opinion, Emperor Jin Yuan was really a cruel person. The concubine who had been doting on him for nearly ten years would abandon him as soon as he said it. He was really a cold-blooded and heartless emperor.
But for Yu Baiguo, even though he was locked up in the backyard by the He family for more than ten years, he could always hear about the concubine He Hui in the palace from the Changping uncle's mansion. Concubine Hui stood up after being favored in the palace, and the more Concubine He Hui was favored, the more proud and domineering He was in the backyard. Even Uncle Changping himself was hindered by Concubine He in the palace. Always have a seven-point smile.
But even so, the arrogance and domineeringness of the He family in the Changping uncle's mansion is as good as it is, and it is far worse than that of his sister in the palace.One of the things that Bai Guo remembers most is that He Huipin was in the palace. The maid from the south mentioned a kind of fruit from her hometown. When she heard something curious, she wanted to taste it too. Concubine Hui was just in favor, so she begged Emperor Jin Yuan. In order to coax his favorite concubine, Emperor Jin Yuan specially ordered people to escort the fruit from the south to Beijing at high speed. The fruit was not convenient to store after being picked, and three fierce horses ran to death along the way. Ma, was sent into the palace.Later, Concubine He Hui ate the fruit, but the fruit was processed and beautified by the court lady's childhood memories, and it was not as sweet and sour as the other party described. In the lowest Huanyifang, the little maid died of overwork by the well within a few months.
He Huipin had never killed anyone, but the number of people who died indirectly at her hands was unknown. At that time, the He family was in a prosperous position in the Changping uncle's mansion, and there was nothing to stop her talking to Bai Guo on weekdays. Most of the time, she would only mention Huibin How beautiful it is, and how Emperor Jin and Yuan doted on Concubine Hui. If he envied him a lot, he would blurt out a few sarcastic words of jealousy.
Bai Guo only thought about the beauty of Concubine He Hui in the past, and compared with Concubine Bao today, she felt that this woman was much more rational and calm.Concubine Bao is still young, and in the eyes of Emperor Jin Yuan, flying a kite is nothing more than the delicacy and innocence of the youngest daughter's family. She was restrained tightly in the palace in the past, and she finally went out of the palace once.
Wen Sushu didn't expect this. Hearing what Bai Guo said, he couldn't help saying: "According to what you said, Concubine Bao is much stronger than Concubine He Hui."
Emperor Jin Yuan also brought several close officials with him when he went to the palace this time. Some of the close officials specifically asked the emperor for permission to go to the palace with their family members. At the moment, the concubine Bao was busy, which attracted many courtiers. His sons and daughters went to visit Baofei's carriage.
Compared to the bustle on Baofei's side and the quietness on Fengjia's side, the rest of Wan Liangyi and Qu Jieyu's side were a little more comfortable.
Qu Huayan was the show girl of Baiguo's class. Emperor Jin and Yuan left a badge and stayed in the palace for half a year, and finally got the status of Jieyu. It is not eye-catching to be neither high nor low, and it took another half a year to be overturned by Emperor Jin Yuan, and he was favored once.This favor happened to be just a few days before going to the summer palace, and Emperor Jin Yuan just got interested in her, and it was still fresh, so he was lucky enough to be selected as the accompanying concubine.
As for Wan Youlan... she never thought that she would be chosen by Emperor Jin Yuan as the accompanying concubine.After Zhang Guijun's peach blossom banquet ended that day, Wan Youlan hadn't seen Emperor Jin Yuan again for a whole month. She thought that she had fallen out of favor, but unexpectedly one morning, there was an old eunuch beside Emperor Jin Yuan Zhao Lin came to declare that she was promoted to Liangyi.
After jumping several levels in a row, Wan Youlan only thought that she was dreaming, and also thought that Emperor Jin Yuan was really boring, and made up many classic plots in ancient romance novels before time travel, such as Emperor Jin Yuan actually In the previous relationship with her, he had an irresistible deep affection for her. It was only because of the identities between the two that Emperor Jin Yuan hid this affection deeply. The love for Concubine Bao is actually fake, and the real purpose is Or to protect myself in the dark...
The more Wan Youlan thought about it, the more she felt that her thoughts were correct, otherwise why did Emperor Jin Yuan still promote herself to Liangyi after not seeing her for a month?Moreover, it would be very eye-catching to jump directly from a mere beauty to Liangyi like her, but since she was awarded Feng Liangyi, not only no one came to trouble her, but the bedroom where she lived was so calm that it didn't look like a deep palace.
Thinking in this way, Wan Youlan felt a little bit more sublime when facing Qu Huayan, who had a higher rank than herself.
Qu Huayan had also heard of Wan Youlan, she seemed to be a commoner woman from the south, she somehow entered the palace and won the favor of Emperor Jin and Yuan, and was favored as a concubine.It can be said that the degree of favor of the two of them in the palace is almost equal, and their status is not high or low. It is normal for them to be divided into the same carriage, but Qu Huayan is very different from Wan Youlan. She didn't understand it very much. In order not to make trouble and attract others' attention, she just leaned on the pillow and read some words and phrases as if she couldn't see it.
Wan Youlan was bored, she couldn't read the traditional Chinese characters of the ancients, she only flipped through a few pages, then lifted the curtain of the car to look at Concubine Bao, with a sneer of envy and jealousy on her face from time to time.
Qu Huayan didn't like her, so she gave Wan Youlan a cold look, but was caught by Wan Youlan and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qu Huayan frowned: "How do I see you?"
Wan Youlan said: "How did you see me just now, don't you know?"
Qu Huayan was about to be annoyed by her, Wan Youlan was lower than her, and the rules in the palace should respect her, but now Wan Youlan not only has no honorific title, but also dared to contradict her, which is really daring Rules.
Recalling that Wan Youlan is just a concubine who has no favor and no family protection, who gave her the courage?
Her ignorance?
Qu Huayan was thinking this way, but Wan Youlan suddenly said, "I'll get out of the car and take a breath."
Not knowing what trouble this stupid woman was going to cause, Qu Huayan glanced at her lazily, and told her to get out of the carriage and run forward.
The people sitting in the carriage at the front were more noble, Qu Huayan lifted the curtain curiously, and saw that the place Wan Youlan was going to was the other side of the carriage.
Emperor Jin Yuan sat on the imperial car for several hours, his waist was really tired and stiff.The little emperor's grandson was very active and couldn't restrain himself, so he begged the emperor's grandpa to ask the prince's father to take him to ride a horse outside.Emperor Jin Yuan had no choice but to ask the prince to accompany his son to play outside. As for Xie Lin, he was a quiet person in front of him, and there were some irreconcilable conflicts between father and son, so Emperor Jin Yuan simply gave it a big hand. He waved and asked the marching team to slow down to the slowest speed, and he also got off the imperial drive.
The kite on the other side of Concubine Bao fell to the roof of the carriage due to the slow speed of the carriage. Several young girls and boys got off the carriage one after another. Seeing Emperor Jin Yuan walking towards Concubine Bao, they quickly saluted and retreated to the side.
Concubine Bao looked at Emperor Jin Yuan with a smile, with a pitiful and innocent face, she coquettishly grabbed Emperor Jin Yuan's sleeve robe, and half complained: "Your Majesty, my concubine's kite has fallen."
Emperor Jin Yuan only smiled and said: "You little naughty ghost, my little emperor's grandson is much calmer than you."
Concubine Bao opened her eyes slightly, and muttered, "Your Majesty, are you saying that my concubine is not as mature as a three-year-old child?"
Emperor Jin Yuan said: "Two years old can't be more."
Concubine Bao hit him with her fist.
Emperor Jin Yuan laughed.
Wan Youlan originally came here for Emperor Jin Yuan, she thought that if the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain, but I don't want to see the scene where Concubine Bao and Emperor Jin Yuan are so intimate, so I can't help but stop, feeling full of joy in my heart. Full of jealousy and sourness.
Concubine Bao looked up and saw Wan Youlan.She knew more about Wan Youlan than Qu Huayan. Although she didn't know how this girl entered the palace and won the favor of Emperor Jin Yuan, she seemed to be unknown in the palace, but she was successively granted low-key promotions by Emperor Jin Yuan. It really made her vigilant.
Concubine Bao was terrified that she would follow in He Huibin's footsteps.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been out of the palace for half a day, but she is a little bit thinking about Liu'er." Seeing Wan Youlan approaching, Concubine Bao's eyes dimmed, and there was a look of worry in her eyes, "Liu'er's body has always been a little weak, and it's also a little bit weak." I don't know if Liu'er will wake up crying in the middle of the night after the concubine leaves the palace..."
Emperor Jin and Yuan had many sons, so he didn't worry too much about this frail and sick prince. He just said: "Liu'er is under the care of the queen mother, and nothing will go wrong. My concubine can just be at ease."
Concubine Bao nodded, leaning softly and half in the arms of Emperor Jin Yuan.
At this time, Emperor Jin Yuan saw Wan Youlan standing not far away.
Wan Youlan bowed her knees to salute the two, with an inexplicably aggrieved expression: "My concubine pays her respects to His Majesty, and to Concubine Bao."
Emperor Jin Yuan frowned slightly: "Why isn't Aifei staying in the car?"
"It's stuffy in the car, and the concubine got down to get some air." Wan Youlan raised her eyes carefully, and looked at Emperor Jin Yuan affectionately.
Emperor Jin Yuan said: "After a while, the team will speed up. Aifei should not go too far, so as not to catch up with the speed of the frame and delay the time."
Wan Youlan didn't expect that Emperor Jin Yuan would be so honest with her, and she wanted to say something, but she heard Bao Fei's gentle way: "If sister Wan Liangyi finds the journey boring, come and talk to Ben Gong on the carriage. That's fine too."
Wan Youlan lowered her eyes: "My concubine, thank you, Concubine Bao."
Emperor Jin Yuan and Concubine Bao said a few more words, and then returned to the royal driver, and the speed of the guard of honor naturally accelerated again.
After nightfall, Emperor Jin Yuan ordered Qu Jieyu, who was in the car with Wan Youlan, to serve her.Qu Huayan didn't return all night, and when he returned to the carriage the next day, he still had some spring tide charm on his expression, and his lazy and tired posture really made Wan Youlan's eyes red with anger.
On the contrary, Concubine Bao and Feng Jia were exceptionally calm. Those who should be lively should still be lively, and those who should be silent should remain silent to the end.
For seven whole days, Bai Guo just nestled in Xie Lin's arms and listened to the man reading stories to herself with a scripture book.The man's voice was like the clear sound of jade and stone colliding, it was cold and cool, and it was especially refreshing in the overly hot summer. Ginkgo was happy to hear it, and would feed him a piece of cake as a reward.
At noon on the seventh day, Yu Jia finally arrived at the Summer Palace. After the officials and servants in charge of guarding the palace knelt down and worshiped Emperor Jin and Yuan outside the palace, they dispersed and led the princes and ministers of various identities to different palaces and courtyards.
King Jing and the crown prince were arranged on the left side of the main hall of the palace, the gate of the imperial concubine was on the right side, and the remaining courtiers were divided into several quiet courtyards a little farther away.
After arranging the residence properly, Bai Guo looked at the cool surroundings and sighed softly, "No wonder..."
Xie Lin hugged him and sat on a stone bench in a gazebo, and asked with a smile: "No wonder what?"
"No wonder Father insisted on coming to this palace to stay for two months even if it was going to be turbulent for seven days." Bai Guo pursed her lips, feeling the breeze blowing across the lotus pond on her cheeks, and said comfortably, "The weather here is really comfortable .”
Xie Lin laughed and said, "If you like it, then you should come here every year."
Bai Guo said: "Then please Your Highness, please work hard and try to let His Royal Highness be appointed by the emperor to accompany you every year."
Xie Lin said yes.
The two talked for a while and then went back to the house, bumpy for seven days, although Bai Guo was mentally curious about the palace, but physically exhausted, Xie Lin took him to soak in the running water pool in the dormitory for a while Then, Bai Guo couldn't help but tilt her head and fell asleep on Xie Lin's body.
Xie Lin wiped Bai Guo's body carefully, kissed him on the forehead, carried him back to the bedroom, and hugged him to sleep.
There was a small court meeting in the palace in the early days, although it was not as formal as in the capital, but Emperor Jin and Yuan still had to deal with many court affairs, which was not much easier than in the capital.But the concubine who came with her was lucky. The palace was different from the many rules in the palace, and because although the new queen came with her, she was sick on the first day, and she stayed behind closed doors. In this way, the other three concubines were liberated.
Concubine Bao couldn't be idle, she took a few of her courtiers' children to play around in the palace all day long, and the laughter and laughter in the palace never stopped.
Bai Guo and Wen Sushu were also invited by Concubine Bao several times, and they had a good time.
On this day, Xie Lin came down and asked the palace attendant to prepare a small fishing boat and two fishing rods.
Bai Guo followed behind Xie Lin, only asking him to lead her forward, and curiously asked: "Your Highness, what are we going to do?"
"Fishing." Xie Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "How about a whole fish dinner for today's dinner?"
Ginkgo's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Near the Summer Palace is a lake. Xie Lin picked a few grasses on the road, tied them into a small green straw hat, and put it on Gingko's head. It was indescribably cute and playful.
Bai Guo liked the ground tightly, touched the straw hat, and happily asked: "When did Your Highness learn to weave straw hats?"
Xie Lin rubbed the top of his hair, smiled softly in his eyes, but didn't answer him, but said: "Look, we're here."
On the shore of the blue lake, the water is sparkling, and the fish are playing and swimming in the clear water, which makes Ginkgo lean over and grab a handful of water.
"The water is so cold."
Bai Guo couldn't help laughing and rolled his eyes.
Xie Linding looked at the brilliance in Bai Guo's eyes, smiled lightly for a while and said, "Go to the boat?"
Bai Guo nodded, and carefully followed Xie Lin onto the rickety wooden boat.
The two got into the boat without any other servants, Xie Lin just propped up the oars and rowed the boat into the center of the lake before stopping quietly.
Bai Guo stretched out his hand to splash the water beside the boat, looked at the endless blue water of the lake, and said softly: "If the boat capsizes now, Your Highness will fall into the bottom of the lake with me..."
Xie Lin raised his eyes and said, "Then we'll be under the water and be a pair of fateful mandarin ducks."
Ginkgo opened her eyes, and her ears were red.
The afternoon sun was a bit hot, Xie Lin put away the fishing rod and leaned quietly on the side of the boat, the man looked peaceful and stable, he had lost his usual indifference and withdrawn, just like an ordinary fisherman, focusing on the fishing rod in his hand.Beside him, a thin young man tilted his head on him, the grass ring on top of his head was taken off to cover his handsome and delicate face, he closed his eyes lightly, drowsy.
There are always fish that are greedy for bait, Xie Lin skillfully catches a few, and releases some more, until the sun goes down, before gently shaking the people around him.
"Hmm..." Bai Guo was still a little confused, subconsciously showing a cute smile to Xie Lin, and the dimple at the corner of her mouth was even more faintly visible.
Xie Lin nodded between his eyebrows: "You."
"Sleepy."
Bai Guo rubbed his eyes, for some reason, he was always prone to drowsiness these days, and fell asleep by leaning on him from time to time.
Xie Lin was busy with business and rarely stayed with the house during the day, so he failed to notice Bai Guo's drowsiness, but today Bai Guo slept all afternoon, but he couldn't help frowning.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Bai Guo shook her head and said in a troubled way, "No..."
Xie Lin frowned and looked at him, sighed: "Forget it, go back first."
The two went back to the palace together, but on the way, they met Concubine Bao and some daughters in her boudoir playing slingshots under the tree.
The slingshot was simple and wooden. Concubine Bao was played with by her elder brother when she was young when she was not sold into the palace. Now she suddenly remembered it and got excited, so she asked the palace staff to make a few according to the gourd painting. Invite everyone to play slingshot in the woods.
The slingshot is something that daughters of some status don't like to play with, but due to the rightful favor of Concubine Bao, although the few ladies are strict with rules, they still reluctantly go along with Concubine Bao.But even though they agreed on the surface, they couldn't help but be reluctant to let go when they played. Either they were too weak to pull the slingshot, or they missed it frequently, and they were completely inaccurate.
Seeing this, Concubine Bao became less interested, thinking that no one would be able to accompany her to have fun, but Wan Youlan also followed her today.
Wan Youlan is different from those ladies, she doesn't care about those rules at all, not to mention that she thinks she is the true love of Emperor Jin Yuan, and Concubine Bao is just a shield in front of her. Very jealous.When Concubine Bao wanted to compete with others in shooting slingshots, Wan Youlan was excited. She just wanted to win the game this time, so as to kill Concubine Bao's limelight and make herself angry.
Concubine Bao didn't expect that Wan Liangyi was actually a slingshot expert, and could play as well as herself, so she couldn't help being happy.And the other ladies didn't want to play with Concubine Bao, so they also sincerely stood aside to cheer for Concubine Bao.
"Young lady is amazing."
"The concubine Bao just hit that slingshot very accurately."
"Wan Liangyi is far behind."
Obviously Wan Youlan was more accurate than Concubine Bao, but those ladies just pretended they were blind and couldn't see, they just kept talking with Concubine Bao, which made Concubine Bao laugh non-stop, and they didn't think they were better than Concubine Wanliang. The instrument played badly.
Wan Youlan was very angry, seeing two people walking on the stone path behind the tree in front, she squinted her eyes for a moment.
Xie Lin looked at the few people in front of him indifferently, and never let go of Bai Guo's hand.
Wan Youlan did not recognize Xie Lin in the palace before as King Jing who sent her into the palace, but since she followed Emperor Jin Yuan to this summer palace, she already knew the man not far away without asking. It is King Jing.
Suwen heard that King Jing who sent her into the palace was a violent person, but the moment she saw King Jing Xie Lin, especially when she met those indifferent and cold eyes, she suddenly revealed the truth from the bottom of her heart. A strong sense of fear and hatred came.Wan Youlan didn't know where this emotion came from, but she always attributed these feelings to the emotions left by the original owner of this body, but now when she saw the face of the young man standing beside Xie Lin, the jealousy and hatred in her heart were dark The meaning is like weeds growing, crazily skyrocketing.
"call out--"
The stone hit by the slingshot made a sound of breaking through the air, and the stone deviated from the trajectory that should have fallen on the willow in front, and went straight to the back of the willow.
"Be careful." Xie Lin held Bai Guo's hand tightly, and pulled him into his arms.
Bai Guo was at a loss as to what had happened, and was startled when a stone flew past his ear and landed on the path making a sound.
If it wasn't for Xie Lin to hug him quickly, that stone would have hit him in the face!
Concubine Bao and the girls from all the families saw this scene, and were shocked by the consequences of King Jing's inability to react.
"Concubine Jing is okay?" Although Concubine Bao is a favorite concubine, she respects the grown-up princes.
Xie Lin let go of the ginkgo fruit, and looked behind Concubine Bao lightly.
Concubine Bao came to her senses, frowned and hurriedly said, "Wan Liangyi, hurry up and apologize to Princess Jing!"
Wan Youlan stepped forward quietly, with grievance and fear on her face, she stood in front of Bai Guo with downcast eyes and said: "I just slipped my hand just now, please forgive me if I disturbed Princess Jing."
Bai Guo raised his eyes to look at her, but felt a cold and uncomfortable aura from Wan Youlan, but he was not familiar with Wan Youlan, so he felt that the hostility from the other party was inexplicable, so he just shook his head and said: "No Thing, Wan Liangyi should be more careful when playing with the slingshot next time."
"There will be no next time." Concubine Bao was sweating from Wan Youlan's fright, completely lost interest, and complained, clutching her chest, "This slingshot is dangerous, I don't want to play with it in the future."
Bai Guo and Bao Fei smiled, but they didn't say anything.
Xie Lin's expression was indifferent throughout the whole process, his eyes flicked on Wan Youlan for a moment, and then fell back on Bai Guo.
After this incident, Concubine Bao and the ladies all felt that Wan Youlan was unsteady, and secretly decided in their hearts that they should have less contact with Wan Liangyi in the future.Unexpectedly, on the second day, Wan Youlan was announced by Emperor Jin Yuan to go to bed, but when she went, she was scratched by a royal cat in the palace, and her beautiful face was ruined like this. , can be described as extremely miserable.
When Emperor Jin Yuan heard about this, he was quite speechless. He ordered someone to find the imperial cat, but the imperial cat was extremely lazy and gentle. Even his paws were carefully cut by the palace servants. The way to draw people's faces like that.The palace people who kept the cat felt sorry for Yumao, and only said that if the cat hadn't been forced to hurt it by others, it would be absolutely obedient and pleasant.
The implication is that Wan Liangyi must have done something to bully Yumao, so he was caught and made a fool of himself.
Emperor Jin Yuan only believed half of this statement. It is reasonable to say that the imperial concubine was scratched by a cat, and the royal cat must have died, but unfortunately, the royal cat was extremely rare, and its appearance and temperament caught the eyes of Emperor Jin Yuan. , Emperor Jin Yuan really couldn't bear to punish this imperial cat, and finally he comforted Wan Youlan and gave her a promotion, which was completely used as compensation.
Wan Liangyi was disfigured and disfigured by the imperial cat. Not only did she not lose the favor of the emperor, but she was promoted to a nobleman, and she jumped up a level, and others couldn't help being stunned.
Wen Sushu mentioned this when he came to look for Bai Guo, and he didn't know whether he should lament Wan Youlan's life or not: "I heard that Wan Guiren has locked himself in the house for several days and never came out, except for the imperial physician. "
Bai Guo pursed her lips and said, "Who knew that such a thing would happen?"
Wen Sushu said in a low voice: "It's her luck that's worse."
The two talked for a while, and the little Huangsun asked the nanny to come to find Wen Sushu, and the courtyard became lively again.Later, the prince and Xie Lin came to the yard together, and only said to leave a piece for dinner at night.
The little grandson wanted to eat an ice bowl, but Wen Sushu only allowed him to eat two mouthfuls. As for Bai Guo, he was greedy for cold like playing with a milk baby. When Xie Lin was not paying attention when talking with the prince, he also secretly ate half of the bowl.
"Don't eat it." Xie Lin turned his head and saw that the ice bowl was half down, couldn't help but cover the back of Ginkgo's hand, and knocked on the side of the bowl, "Be careful of stomach upset at night."
Bai Guo muttered: "No... just a little bit."
Xie Lin still refused.
Little Huangsun blinked and watched them come and go, and said, "Aunt Third! You are naughty!"
Wen Sushu quickly suppressed a smile and covered the little emperor's grandson's mouth.
The little Huangsun was wronged, sobbed and said: "He'er, uh...be good."
The prince couldn't help but put a piece of crispy meat in the bowl for his naughty son: "He'er, you can't talk about eating."
Wen Sushu let go of his hand, and told Xiao Huangsun to eat with the chopsticks. The little Huangsun's attention was attracted by the little crispy meat, and soon he stopped worrying about the matter just now. The crispy meat in the bowl, he ate happily while biting.
After several people had their dinner, they removed their cups and plates and called
"Mommy, what's the big deal, let's listen to it." Wen Sushu was talking to Zhang Guijun, but his eyes still fell on the little emperor and grandson, for fear that the palace servants would not care enough to bump into him. When Sun Bing spoke in front of Bai Guo, he didn't speak loudly, he didn't hear the truth, but seeing the happy look on Nanny's face, he couldn't help asking curiously.
The little grandson blinked, ran to Wen Sushu and pointed to the eighth prince who was in the swaddle, covered his eyes and looked at Bai Guo, shyly said: "Brother, there is a younger brother."
Wen Sushu usually took care of the little emperor's grandson, and he could guess the gibberish words that the child said all over the sky. Now he also understood what the little emperor's grandson was talking about, but he couldn't laugh or cry: "He'er is so powerful, how can you tell me?" Can you see that Princess Jing has a baby in her belly?"
Little Huangsun corrected: "It's my younger brother."
Several empresses and masters in the hall laughed when they heard the words, Zhang Guijun was also teased by the child, only to make Bai Guo blush, fidgeting and looking down at her belly, her expression was still very bewildered.
If Princess Qin were to see this scene, she would definitely make fun of Bai Guo, but Zhang Guijun has a gentle temper, and Wen Sushu has a slightly colder personality, so no one will make trouble with Bai Guo any more, so he just changed the subject. In two days, Emperor Jin and Yuan will go to the palace to escape the summer heat.
Bai Guo had heard from Xie Lin earlier about this matter. King Yu and Concubine Xu went to Jiangzhou and did not return for several months. I heard that they encountered a difficult case in Jiangzhou and were left there by Emperor Jin Yuan to supervise and solve the case. As for King Qin went to the northwest for disaster relief, and Princess Qin ran back to her natal family to raise her baby, so the only adult princes who could accompany Emperor Jin Yuan to the palace were the crown prince and Xie Lin.
"Jian'er just passed the ceremony of the full moon, but this time I will accompany His Majesty to go." Zhang Guijun is a man with everything to do, with a smile on his face, he just said, "It's hard work for you to go out with Shengjia Two and take care of yourself."
Bai Guo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
Wen Sushu also nodded.
As for the little emperor's grandson who was in his arms again, he asked curiously: "What is Sui Shengjia?"
Wen Sushu hugged him and taught him with a smile: "It is to go out of the palace with He'er's grandfather."
The little emperor's grandson's eyes lit up: "Go out of the palace, let's play! He'er likes it!"
Wen Sushu scratched his little nose, and the milk baby giggled happily.
In the afternoon, Xie Lin ordered the palace staff to call Bai Guo out of the palace together, and Wen Sushu naturally bid farewell to Zhang Guijun.The little emperor's grandson had a restless temper at the moment, and when he returned to the East Palace, he refused to be hugged, and just ran around on the gravel road in a "da da da" manner.
Wen Sushu's personal maid followed the little emperor's grandson, and the nanny followed Wen Sushu, hesitating to speak.
Wen Sushu said with a faint smile: "Nurse seems to have something to hold back for a long time, what do you want to say?"
The grandma was transferred to Wen Sushu by the crown prince later. She is a loyal and honest old nanny with a careful mind. She knows that although Wen Sushu is a bit cold-tempered, he is a rare and easy-going master. When asked by Wen Sushu, The nanny might as well just smile and say: "Before I entered the palace, there was a saying in my hometown that the eyes of a young child with clear thoughts are the most transparent spiritual eyes in the world, and can foresee things that ordinary people don't know in advance. Today, the little grandson pointed to Princess Jing and said with certainty that the princess has a younger brother in her womb, and the slaves thought about it for a moment, thinking that Princess Jing might be in her womb now..."
"Mummy still takes that seriously? It's just a child's mischievous nonsense." Wen Sushu glanced at the little grandson, but shook his head in disbelief, "A few days ago you were sick and didn't take care of He'er, and you didn't know The prince was afraid that he would be bored, and specially hugged a cat from a neighboring country for him, but when he saw the cat, he pointed at the cat and said it was a bad thing. Bengong asked him why he said that, and the mother guessed what Heer was doing. explain?"
"The little emperor's grandson speaks so childishly that the slaves can't guess."
Wen Sushu continued helplessly: "He said, that cat is a bad thing. The day before yesterday, he had fun playing with some birds in the yard. The day after tomorrow, he ignored the birds and only made out with the parrot outside His Highness's study room. One day, those birds flew in again to beg for food, and He'er pointed to the new birds and cried, saying that all the birds had babies of the bad cat, how could the bad cat still beg for food? How about playing with the parrot?"
The little emperor's grandson is innocent, and Wen Sushu couldn't explain to him that cats and birds can't have babies, so he had to ask the prince to send the bad cat away quickly, and then he had a few days of peace.
"It's just a child about three years old, what does he know?" Wen Sushu said.
The nanny also laughed when she heard the words, she just felt that she was thinking too much.
……
In two days it will be the day when Emperor Jin and Yuan will set off for the summer palace. I don't know what the emperor is thinking, but the concubines who accompanied him and served him have selected four people, except for the new empress Ning Anrong, the concubine Bao who is very favored by the emperor, They were Wan Youlan who was promoted to Liangyi at some time, and a young Jieyu who had just been favored among the last show girls.
When Bai Guo was watching the servants packing the suitcases for the palace in the palace, he happened to hear the attendant say something like this, and was a little surprised: "That Wanmei was actually promoted to Liangyi?"
The attendant said: "The news that the palace will release should be unmistakable."
Compared with Concubine Bao, Wanmei is not favored in the palace. Bai Guo has an impression of her because she had a quarrel with another good-looking master in front of Emperor Jin Yuan when Zhang Guijun held a peach blossom banquet.I remember that at that time Emperor Jin Yuan just ignored the matter and didn't punish the two of them, but he didn't want that Wanmei was promoted to Liangyi after only a month or two. .
Bai Guo thought this way, the box containing the clothes and luggage was carried into the carriage by the palace guards, Xie Lin was in the study talking with a few confidants who had just rushed back to the capital, and heard that Yu Wang was in Jiangzhou because of the case of Jiangzhou magistrate's extermination of the family. No time to return to Beijing, can't help showing deep thought.
"Your Highness?" Bai Guo knocked on the door outside the study.
Xie Lin came back to his senses, stepped forward to open the door, and several confidantes stepped aside quickly.
"Everything has been tidied up, come and ask His Highness when to leave?" Bai Guo said shyly and cautiously when he saw some strange faces in the room.
Xie Lin took his hand and walked out: "Anytime."
Bai Guo couldn't help but turn around and said, "Your Highness, there are still some gentlemen in the room..."
Xie Lin leaned over and pinched the tip of his nose: "Look at me, don't look at them, huh?"
Bai Guo blushed, looked left and right, and all the servants lowered their eyes, raised them and gave Xie Lin a small stare: "Your Highness!"
Xie Lin chuckled, shook his head and led him out of the palace.
The emperor went out of the palace, accompanied by the imperial guards, and the battle was astonishing.The bright yellow sedan roof is at the front, followed by the luan chariots of several concubines and empresses.Bai Guo was not very familiar with those concubines, he just stayed in his own sedan chair, swaying along with the team while eating tea.
The journey to the palace is long, and it takes seven days to arrive.In the afternoon of the first day, Xie Lin was called to attend the imperial court, and Bai Guo took a nap, then an attendant came in and whispered that the prince and side concubine had arrived.
"Please come in." Bai Guo hurriedly said.
Bai Guo was wearing a light green robe today, with realistic bamboo leaves embroidered on the corners of his clothes. When he saw the plain book coming in, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a coincidence."
Wen Sushu looked up and saw that the clothes on the two were almost similar, so he also raised his eyebrows.
Bai Guo poured him a cup of fruit tea to quench his thirst, and said strangely: "It's rare that the little emperor's grandson is not with you."
Wen Sushu took a sip of tea slowly, said with a light smile, "Your Majesty is so rare for his grandson, and asked He'er to play in the imperial court."
Bai Guo said: "It would be great if the little emperor's grandson could be loved by His Majesty."
Wen Sushu smiled and nodded, leaning on the pillow behind: "It's rare to be free, I heard that King Jing has also gone to the Imperial Palace, so I came to talk to you."
"The road is boring, and today is the first day." Bai Guo said, took out a few plates of snacks from the dark drawer and put them on the table, "Have a try?"
Wen Sushu was stunned for a moment by his treasure bag-like drawer, and when he came back to his senses, he picked up a piece of pastry and ate it: "It tastes very good."
Bai Guo then smiled and said, "I sent someone to specially prepare something that can be eaten on the road. It's still inferior to the fresh dim sum at home."
Wen Sushu said: "You are really strange. When others heard that they were on the road, they all told their subordinates to bring more biographies to pass the time. You are better...you are only greedy for this appetite."
Bai Guo didn't say that she also brought a script, but said with a smile: "Then what did our Concubine Wen bring?"
Wen Sushu sighed after hearing the words: "Only the little grandson is in the car. I don't need to bring anything to make it lively enough. The child is very energetic and can't stop doing anything. It's rare if he can sleep peacefully. For a while, it can also make people relax for a while."
Bai Guo had never raised a child, but she could still imagine the child's fuss, so she just smiled and said to Wen Sushu, take a good rest by his side and eat some snacks to replenish her body.
Wen Sushu almost believed his evil.
The two were talking, but for some reason the conversation fell on the concubines who were with Emperor Jin Yuan.
Emperor Jia and Feng Jia are separated, since the team broke out and started marching, the people at the other end of Feng Jia have been silent as if they didn't exist, and no one has seen the figure of the new queen from the beginning to the end.As for Concubine Bao, it was very lively, because she was the concubine who was being favored. Concubine Bao ordered someone to hook a kite on the frame. When the wind blows, when the kite falls, everyone on Baofei's side will exclaim in surprise. Even the young generals accompanying them can't help but look at the kite.
Hearing the din and frolicking outside the car, Wen Sushu pushed aside the curtain on the car, frowned slightly and said: "This Concubine Bao is too unscrupulous."
Bai Guo shook her head and said, "Compared to He Huibi before, Concubine Bao is not enough."
Wen Sushu was a beautiful girl selected by the local government to enter the palace, and was later pointed out to the prince, so he was not very familiar with He Huipin, only knew that she was the former favorite concubine of Emperor Jin and Yuan, but she was so beautiful, now not only did she not have the ability to meet her in person The right to bring up the parents and children, even the palace of Empress Concubine Hui after she no longer loves her is even more like a cold palace and a cold pool.
In his opinion, Emperor Jin Yuan was really a cruel person. The concubine who had been doting on him for nearly ten years would abandon him as soon as he said it. He was really a cold-blooded and heartless emperor.
But for Yu Baiguo, even though he was locked up in the backyard by the He family for more than ten years, he could always hear about the concubine He Hui in the palace from the Changping uncle's mansion. Concubine Hui stood up after being favored in the palace, and the more Concubine He Hui was favored, the more proud and domineering He was in the backyard. Even Uncle Changping himself was hindered by Concubine He in the palace. Always have a seven-point smile.
But even so, the arrogance and domineeringness of the He family in the Changping uncle's mansion is as good as it is, and it is far worse than that of his sister in the palace.One of the things that Bai Guo remembers most is that He Huipin was in the palace. The maid from the south mentioned a kind of fruit from her hometown. When she heard something curious, she wanted to taste it too. Concubine Hui was just in favor, so she begged Emperor Jin Yuan. In order to coax his favorite concubine, Emperor Jin Yuan specially ordered people to escort the fruit from the south to Beijing at high speed. The fruit was not convenient to store after being picked, and three fierce horses ran to death along the way. Ma, was sent into the palace.Later, Concubine He Hui ate the fruit, but the fruit was processed and beautified by the court lady's childhood memories, and it was not as sweet and sour as the other party described. In the lowest Huanyifang, the little maid died of overwork by the well within a few months.
He Huipin had never killed anyone, but the number of people who died indirectly at her hands was unknown. At that time, the He family was in a prosperous position in the Changping uncle's mansion, and there was nothing to stop her talking to Bai Guo on weekdays. Most of the time, she would only mention Huibin How beautiful it is, and how Emperor Jin and Yuan doted on Concubine Hui. If he envied him a lot, he would blurt out a few sarcastic words of jealousy.
Bai Guo only thought about the beauty of Concubine He Hui in the past, and compared with Concubine Bao today, she felt that this woman was much more rational and calm.Concubine Bao is still young, and in the eyes of Emperor Jin Yuan, flying a kite is nothing more than the delicacy and innocence of the youngest daughter's family. She was restrained tightly in the palace in the past, and she finally went out of the palace once.
Wen Sushu didn't expect this. Hearing what Bai Guo said, he couldn't help saying: "According to what you said, Concubine Bao is much stronger than Concubine He Hui."
Emperor Jin Yuan also brought several close officials with him when he went to the palace this time. Some of the close officials specifically asked the emperor for permission to go to the palace with their family members. At the moment, the concubine Bao was busy, which attracted many courtiers. His sons and daughters went to visit Baofei's carriage.
Compared to the bustle on Baofei's side and the quietness on Fengjia's side, the rest of Wan Liangyi and Qu Jieyu's side were a little more comfortable.
Qu Huayan was the show girl of Baiguo's class. Emperor Jin and Yuan left a badge and stayed in the palace for half a year, and finally got the status of Jieyu. It is not eye-catching to be neither high nor low, and it took another half a year to be overturned by Emperor Jin Yuan, and he was favored once.This favor happened to be just a few days before going to the summer palace, and Emperor Jin Yuan just got interested in her, and it was still fresh, so he was lucky enough to be selected as the accompanying concubine.
As for Wan Youlan... she never thought that she would be chosen by Emperor Jin Yuan as the accompanying concubine.After Zhang Guijun's peach blossom banquet ended that day, Wan Youlan hadn't seen Emperor Jin Yuan again for a whole month. She thought that she had fallen out of favor, but unexpectedly one morning, there was an old eunuch beside Emperor Jin Yuan Zhao Lin came to declare that she was promoted to Liangyi.
After jumping several levels in a row, Wan Youlan only thought that she was dreaming, and also thought that Emperor Jin Yuan was really boring, and made up many classic plots in ancient romance novels before time travel, such as Emperor Jin Yuan actually In the previous relationship with her, he had an irresistible deep affection for her. It was only because of the identities between the two that Emperor Jin Yuan hid this affection deeply. The love for Concubine Bao is actually fake, and the real purpose is Or to protect myself in the dark...
The more Wan Youlan thought about it, the more she felt that her thoughts were correct, otherwise why did Emperor Jin Yuan still promote herself to Liangyi after not seeing her for a month?Moreover, it would be very eye-catching to jump directly from a mere beauty to Liangyi like her, but since she was awarded Feng Liangyi, not only no one came to trouble her, but the bedroom where she lived was so calm that it didn't look like a deep palace.
Thinking in this way, Wan Youlan felt a little bit more sublime when facing Qu Huayan, who had a higher rank than herself.
Qu Huayan had also heard of Wan Youlan, she seemed to be a commoner woman from the south, she somehow entered the palace and won the favor of Emperor Jin and Yuan, and was favored as a concubine.It can be said that the degree of favor of the two of them in the palace is almost equal, and their status is not high or low. It is normal for them to be divided into the same carriage, but Qu Huayan is very different from Wan Youlan. She didn't understand it very much. In order not to make trouble and attract others' attention, she just leaned on the pillow and read some words and phrases as if she couldn't see it.
Wan Youlan was bored, she couldn't read the traditional Chinese characters of the ancients, she only flipped through a few pages, then lifted the curtain of the car to look at Concubine Bao, with a sneer of envy and jealousy on her face from time to time.
Qu Huayan didn't like her, so she gave Wan Youlan a cold look, but was caught by Wan Youlan and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qu Huayan frowned: "How do I see you?"
Wan Youlan said: "How did you see me just now, don't you know?"
Qu Huayan was about to be annoyed by her, Wan Youlan was lower than her, and the rules in the palace should respect her, but now Wan Youlan not only has no honorific title, but also dared to contradict her, which is really daring Rules.
Recalling that Wan Youlan is just a concubine who has no favor and no family protection, who gave her the courage?
Her ignorance?
Qu Huayan was thinking this way, but Wan Youlan suddenly said, "I'll get out of the car and take a breath."
Not knowing what trouble this stupid woman was going to cause, Qu Huayan glanced at her lazily, and told her to get out of the carriage and run forward.
The people sitting in the carriage at the front were more noble, Qu Huayan lifted the curtain curiously, and saw that the place Wan Youlan was going to was the other side of the carriage.
Emperor Jin Yuan sat on the imperial car for several hours, his waist was really tired and stiff.The little emperor's grandson was very active and couldn't restrain himself, so he begged the emperor's grandpa to ask the prince's father to take him to ride a horse outside.Emperor Jin Yuan had no choice but to ask the prince to accompany his son to play outside. As for Xie Lin, he was a quiet person in front of him, and there were some irreconcilable conflicts between father and son, so Emperor Jin Yuan simply gave it a big hand. He waved and asked the marching team to slow down to the slowest speed, and he also got off the imperial drive.
The kite on the other side of Concubine Bao fell to the roof of the carriage due to the slow speed of the carriage. Several young girls and boys got off the carriage one after another. Seeing Emperor Jin Yuan walking towards Concubine Bao, they quickly saluted and retreated to the side.
Concubine Bao looked at Emperor Jin Yuan with a smile, with a pitiful and innocent face, she coquettishly grabbed Emperor Jin Yuan's sleeve robe, and half complained: "Your Majesty, my concubine's kite has fallen."
Emperor Jin Yuan only smiled and said: "You little naughty ghost, my little emperor's grandson is much calmer than you."
Concubine Bao opened her eyes slightly, and muttered, "Your Majesty, are you saying that my concubine is not as mature as a three-year-old child?"
Emperor Jin Yuan said: "Two years old can't be more."
Concubine Bao hit him with her fist.
Emperor Jin Yuan laughed.
Wan Youlan originally came here for Emperor Jin Yuan, she thought that if the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain, but I don't want to see the scene where Concubine Bao and Emperor Jin Yuan are so intimate, so I can't help but stop, feeling full of joy in my heart. Full of jealousy and sourness.
Concubine Bao looked up and saw Wan Youlan.She knew more about Wan Youlan than Qu Huayan. Although she didn't know how this girl entered the palace and won the favor of Emperor Jin Yuan, she seemed to be unknown in the palace, but she was successively granted low-key promotions by Emperor Jin Yuan. It really made her vigilant.
Concubine Bao was terrified that she would follow in He Huibin's footsteps.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been out of the palace for half a day, but she is a little bit thinking about Liu'er." Seeing Wan Youlan approaching, Concubine Bao's eyes dimmed, and there was a look of worry in her eyes, "Liu'er's body has always been a little weak, and it's also a little bit weak." I don't know if Liu'er will wake up crying in the middle of the night after the concubine leaves the palace..."
Emperor Jin and Yuan had many sons, so he didn't worry too much about this frail and sick prince. He just said: "Liu'er is under the care of the queen mother, and nothing will go wrong. My concubine can just be at ease."
Concubine Bao nodded, leaning softly and half in the arms of Emperor Jin Yuan.
At this time, Emperor Jin Yuan saw Wan Youlan standing not far away.
Wan Youlan bowed her knees to salute the two, with an inexplicably aggrieved expression: "My concubine pays her respects to His Majesty, and to Concubine Bao."
Emperor Jin Yuan frowned slightly: "Why isn't Aifei staying in the car?"
"It's stuffy in the car, and the concubine got down to get some air." Wan Youlan raised her eyes carefully, and looked at Emperor Jin Yuan affectionately.
Emperor Jin Yuan said: "After a while, the team will speed up. Aifei should not go too far, so as not to catch up with the speed of the frame and delay the time."
Wan Youlan didn't expect that Emperor Jin Yuan would be so honest with her, and she wanted to say something, but she heard Bao Fei's gentle way: "If sister Wan Liangyi finds the journey boring, come and talk to Ben Gong on the carriage. That's fine too."
Wan Youlan lowered her eyes: "My concubine, thank you, Concubine Bao."
Emperor Jin Yuan and Concubine Bao said a few more words, and then returned to the royal driver, and the speed of the guard of honor naturally accelerated again.
After nightfall, Emperor Jin Yuan ordered Qu Jieyu, who was in the car with Wan Youlan, to serve her.Qu Huayan didn't return all night, and when he returned to the carriage the next day, he still had some spring tide charm on his expression, and his lazy and tired posture really made Wan Youlan's eyes red with anger.
On the contrary, Concubine Bao and Feng Jia were exceptionally calm. Those who should be lively should still be lively, and those who should be silent should remain silent to the end.
For seven whole days, Bai Guo just nestled in Xie Lin's arms and listened to the man reading stories to herself with a scripture book.The man's voice was like the clear sound of jade and stone colliding, it was cold and cool, and it was especially refreshing in the overly hot summer. Ginkgo was happy to hear it, and would feed him a piece of cake as a reward.
At noon on the seventh day, Yu Jia finally arrived at the Summer Palace. After the officials and servants in charge of guarding the palace knelt down and worshiped Emperor Jin and Yuan outside the palace, they dispersed and led the princes and ministers of various identities to different palaces and courtyards.
King Jing and the crown prince were arranged on the left side of the main hall of the palace, the gate of the imperial concubine was on the right side, and the remaining courtiers were divided into several quiet courtyards a little farther away.
After arranging the residence properly, Bai Guo looked at the cool surroundings and sighed softly, "No wonder..."
Xie Lin hugged him and sat on a stone bench in a gazebo, and asked with a smile: "No wonder what?"
"No wonder Father insisted on coming to this palace to stay for two months even if it was going to be turbulent for seven days." Bai Guo pursed her lips, feeling the breeze blowing across the lotus pond on her cheeks, and said comfortably, "The weather here is really comfortable .”
Xie Lin laughed and said, "If you like it, then you should come here every year."
Bai Guo said: "Then please Your Highness, please work hard and try to let His Royal Highness be appointed by the emperor to accompany you every year."
Xie Lin said yes.
The two talked for a while and then went back to the house, bumpy for seven days, although Bai Guo was mentally curious about the palace, but physically exhausted, Xie Lin took him to soak in the running water pool in the dormitory for a while Then, Bai Guo couldn't help but tilt her head and fell asleep on Xie Lin's body.
Xie Lin wiped Bai Guo's body carefully, kissed him on the forehead, carried him back to the bedroom, and hugged him to sleep.
There was a small court meeting in the palace in the early days, although it was not as formal as in the capital, but Emperor Jin and Yuan still had to deal with many court affairs, which was not much easier than in the capital.But the concubine who came with her was lucky. The palace was different from the many rules in the palace, and because although the new queen came with her, she was sick on the first day, and she stayed behind closed doors. In this way, the other three concubines were liberated.
Concubine Bao couldn't be idle, she took a few of her courtiers' children to play around in the palace all day long, and the laughter and laughter in the palace never stopped.
Bai Guo and Wen Sushu were also invited by Concubine Bao several times, and they had a good time.
On this day, Xie Lin came down and asked the palace attendant to prepare a small fishing boat and two fishing rods.
Bai Guo followed behind Xie Lin, only asking him to lead her forward, and curiously asked: "Your Highness, what are we going to do?"
"Fishing." Xie Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "How about a whole fish dinner for today's dinner?"
Ginkgo's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Near the Summer Palace is a lake. Xie Lin picked a few grasses on the road, tied them into a small green straw hat, and put it on Gingko's head. It was indescribably cute and playful.
Bai Guo liked the ground tightly, touched the straw hat, and happily asked: "When did Your Highness learn to weave straw hats?"
Xie Lin rubbed the top of his hair, smiled softly in his eyes, but didn't answer him, but said: "Look, we're here."
On the shore of the blue lake, the water is sparkling, and the fish are playing and swimming in the clear water, which makes Ginkgo lean over and grab a handful of water.
"The water is so cold."
Bai Guo couldn't help laughing and rolled his eyes.
Xie Linding looked at the brilliance in Bai Guo's eyes, smiled lightly for a while and said, "Go to the boat?"
Bai Guo nodded, and carefully followed Xie Lin onto the rickety wooden boat.
The two got into the boat without any other servants, Xie Lin just propped up the oars and rowed the boat into the center of the lake before stopping quietly.
Bai Guo stretched out his hand to splash the water beside the boat, looked at the endless blue water of the lake, and said softly: "If the boat capsizes now, Your Highness will fall into the bottom of the lake with me..."
Xie Lin raised his eyes and said, "Then we'll be under the water and be a pair of fateful mandarin ducks."
Ginkgo opened her eyes, and her ears were red.
The afternoon sun was a bit hot, Xie Lin put away the fishing rod and leaned quietly on the side of the boat, the man looked peaceful and stable, he had lost his usual indifference and withdrawn, just like an ordinary fisherman, focusing on the fishing rod in his hand.Beside him, a thin young man tilted his head on him, the grass ring on top of his head was taken off to cover his handsome and delicate face, he closed his eyes lightly, drowsy.
There are always fish that are greedy for bait, Xie Lin skillfully catches a few, and releases some more, until the sun goes down, before gently shaking the people around him.
"Hmm..." Bai Guo was still a little confused, subconsciously showing a cute smile to Xie Lin, and the dimple at the corner of her mouth was even more faintly visible.
Xie Lin nodded between his eyebrows: "You."
"Sleepy."
Bai Guo rubbed his eyes, for some reason, he was always prone to drowsiness these days, and fell asleep by leaning on him from time to time.
Xie Lin was busy with business and rarely stayed with the house during the day, so he failed to notice Bai Guo's drowsiness, but today Bai Guo slept all afternoon, but he couldn't help frowning.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Bai Guo shook her head and said in a troubled way, "No..."
Xie Lin frowned and looked at him, sighed: "Forget it, go back first."
The two went back to the palace together, but on the way, they met Concubine Bao and some daughters in her boudoir playing slingshots under the tree.
The slingshot was simple and wooden. Concubine Bao was played with by her elder brother when she was young when she was not sold into the palace. Now she suddenly remembered it and got excited, so she asked the palace staff to make a few according to the gourd painting. Invite everyone to play slingshot in the woods.
The slingshot is something that daughters of some status don't like to play with, but due to the rightful favor of Concubine Bao, although the few ladies are strict with rules, they still reluctantly go along with Concubine Bao.But even though they agreed on the surface, they couldn't help but be reluctant to let go when they played. Either they were too weak to pull the slingshot, or they missed it frequently, and they were completely inaccurate.
Seeing this, Concubine Bao became less interested, thinking that no one would be able to accompany her to have fun, but Wan Youlan also followed her today.
Wan Youlan is different from those ladies, she doesn't care about those rules at all, not to mention that she thinks she is the true love of Emperor Jin Yuan, and Concubine Bao is just a shield in front of her. Very jealous.When Concubine Bao wanted to compete with others in shooting slingshots, Wan Youlan was excited. She just wanted to win the game this time, so as to kill Concubine Bao's limelight and make herself angry.
Concubine Bao didn't expect that Wan Liangyi was actually a slingshot expert, and could play as well as herself, so she couldn't help being happy.And the other ladies didn't want to play with Concubine Bao, so they also sincerely stood aside to cheer for Concubine Bao.
"Young lady is amazing."
"The concubine Bao just hit that slingshot very accurately."
"Wan Liangyi is far behind."
Obviously Wan Youlan was more accurate than Concubine Bao, but those ladies just pretended they were blind and couldn't see, they just kept talking with Concubine Bao, which made Concubine Bao laugh non-stop, and they didn't think they were better than Concubine Wanliang. The instrument played badly.
Wan Youlan was very angry, seeing two people walking on the stone path behind the tree in front, she squinted her eyes for a moment.
Xie Lin looked at the few people in front of him indifferently, and never let go of Bai Guo's hand.
Wan Youlan did not recognize Xie Lin in the palace before as King Jing who sent her into the palace, but since she followed Emperor Jin Yuan to this summer palace, she already knew the man not far away without asking. It is King Jing.
Suwen heard that King Jing who sent her into the palace was a violent person, but the moment she saw King Jing Xie Lin, especially when she met those indifferent and cold eyes, she suddenly revealed the truth from the bottom of her heart. A strong sense of fear and hatred came.Wan Youlan didn't know where this emotion came from, but she always attributed these feelings to the emotions left by the original owner of this body, but now when she saw the face of the young man standing beside Xie Lin, the jealousy and hatred in her heart were dark The meaning is like weeds growing, crazily skyrocketing.
"call out--"
The stone hit by the slingshot made a sound of breaking through the air, and the stone deviated from the trajectory that should have fallen on the willow in front, and went straight to the back of the willow.
"Be careful." Xie Lin held Bai Guo's hand tightly, and pulled him into his arms.
Bai Guo was at a loss as to what had happened, and was startled when a stone flew past his ear and landed on the path making a sound.
If it wasn't for Xie Lin to hug him quickly, that stone would have hit him in the face!
Concubine Bao and the girls from all the families saw this scene, and were shocked by the consequences of King Jing's inability to react.
"Concubine Jing is okay?" Although Concubine Bao is a favorite concubine, she respects the grown-up princes.
Xie Lin let go of the ginkgo fruit, and looked behind Concubine Bao lightly.
Concubine Bao came to her senses, frowned and hurriedly said, "Wan Liangyi, hurry up and apologize to Princess Jing!"
Wan Youlan stepped forward quietly, with grievance and fear on her face, she stood in front of Bai Guo with downcast eyes and said: "I just slipped my hand just now, please forgive me if I disturbed Princess Jing."
Bai Guo raised his eyes to look at her, but felt a cold and uncomfortable aura from Wan Youlan, but he was not familiar with Wan Youlan, so he felt that the hostility from the other party was inexplicable, so he just shook his head and said: "No Thing, Wan Liangyi should be more careful when playing with the slingshot next time."
"There will be no next time." Concubine Bao was sweating from Wan Youlan's fright, completely lost interest, and complained, clutching her chest, "This slingshot is dangerous, I don't want to play with it in the future."
Bai Guo and Bao Fei smiled, but they didn't say anything.
Xie Lin's expression was indifferent throughout the whole process, his eyes flicked on Wan Youlan for a moment, and then fell back on Bai Guo.
After this incident, Concubine Bao and the ladies all felt that Wan Youlan was unsteady, and secretly decided in their hearts that they should have less contact with Wan Liangyi in the future.Unexpectedly, on the second day, Wan Youlan was announced by Emperor Jin Yuan to go to bed, but when she went, she was scratched by a royal cat in the palace, and her beautiful face was ruined like this. , can be described as extremely miserable.
When Emperor Jin Yuan heard about this, he was quite speechless. He ordered someone to find the imperial cat, but the imperial cat was extremely lazy and gentle. Even his paws were carefully cut by the palace servants. The way to draw people's faces like that.The palace people who kept the cat felt sorry for Yumao, and only said that if the cat hadn't been forced to hurt it by others, it would be absolutely obedient and pleasant.
The implication is that Wan Liangyi must have done something to bully Yumao, so he was caught and made a fool of himself.
Emperor Jin Yuan only believed half of this statement. It is reasonable to say that the imperial concubine was scratched by a cat, and the royal cat must have died, but unfortunately, the royal cat was extremely rare, and its appearance and temperament caught the eyes of Emperor Jin Yuan. , Emperor Jin Yuan really couldn't bear to punish this imperial cat, and finally he comforted Wan Youlan and gave her a promotion, which was completely used as compensation.
Wan Liangyi was disfigured and disfigured by the imperial cat. Not only did she not lose the favor of the emperor, but she was promoted to a nobleman, and she jumped up a level, and others couldn't help being stunned.
Wen Sushu mentioned this when he came to look for Bai Guo, and he didn't know whether he should lament Wan Youlan's life or not: "I heard that Wan Guiren has locked himself in the house for several days and never came out, except for the imperial physician. "
Bai Guo pursed her lips and said, "Who knew that such a thing would happen?"
Wen Sushu said in a low voice: "It's her luck that's worse."
The two talked for a while, and the little Huangsun asked the nanny to come to find Wen Sushu, and the courtyard became lively again.Later, the prince and Xie Lin came to the yard together, and only said to leave a piece for dinner at night.
The little grandson wanted to eat an ice bowl, but Wen Sushu only allowed him to eat two mouthfuls. As for Bai Guo, he was greedy for cold like playing with a milk baby. When Xie Lin was not paying attention when talking with the prince, he also secretly ate half of the bowl.
"Don't eat it." Xie Lin turned his head and saw that the ice bowl was half down, couldn't help but cover the back of Ginkgo's hand, and knocked on the side of the bowl, "Be careful of stomach upset at night."
Bai Guo muttered: "No... just a little bit."
Xie Lin still refused.
Little Huangsun blinked and watched them come and go, and said, "Aunt Third! You are naughty!"
Wen Sushu quickly suppressed a smile and covered the little emperor's grandson's mouth.
The little Huangsun was wronged, sobbed and said: "He'er, uh...be good."
The prince couldn't help but put a piece of crispy meat in the bowl for his naughty son: "He'er, you can't talk about eating."
Wen Sushu let go of his hand, and told Xiao Huangsun to eat with the chopsticks. The little Huangsun's attention was attracted by the little crispy meat, and soon he stopped worrying about the matter just now. The crispy meat in the bowl, he ate happily while biting.
After several people had their dinner, they removed their cups and plates and called
