The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Seeing that Concubine Ning was forcefully escorted out of the Imperial Garden by two strong nuns, some concubines hadn't reacted much, and really couldn't understand how Concubine Ning was involved in the previous two incidents. The concubines who were deep in thought lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye at the moment, and the concubines who were close to Concubine Ning wanted to hide behind the crowd, for fear of losing the name of an alliance.

Concubine Lin, who was still in place, was pale at the moment. She never thought that such a secret matter would be found out by the emperor, let alone that the emperor would directly suspect Concubine Ning. She suddenly thought of something, and looked at Concubine Shu in disbelief.

If Zhuang Luoyan was mentioned as the painter today, she and Concubine Ning would naturally be suspicious. But it was Zhuang Luoyan's opponent, Concubine Shu, who painted the painting, how could they have thought that this was a pit waiting for them to jump.

Concubine Lin, why do you plan like this? the queen said amidst the silence of the crowd, Earlier you were jealous and punished Zhao Xianrong for no reason. Because of the emperor's benevolence, you just demoted your position. Now you are killing Concubine Rou’s life as a servant in the palace, framing Zhao Xianrong, and concubine Ning’s death together with Zhao Xianrong. Such sinister intentions are really amazing. You are also an old man by the emperor’s side, why do you want to do this with Concubine Ning? thing?

Concubine Lin looked at the queen's upright words and smiled: Which woman in this harem is not jealous, empress, you are accusing me now, have you forgotten that when the concubine first became a concubine, the emperor even stayed in my palace? On the third day, on the fourth day, you just found a reason to let me kneel outside Jingyang Palace for three full hours, what I did to Zhuang Luoyan back then, isn't that what you did to me back then?

Presumptuous, I punished you to kneel outside Jingyang Palace because you treated the palace people harshly. The queen looked at Concubine Lin with an unchanged expression, I am the queen of the first palace, so I have the right to punish you for such bad habits. That day when you were a concubine, you made her kneel for several hours with the excuse of breaking your auspicious cloud and auspicious hairpin with your beautiful appearance. Don’t you know the rules and are jealous? You have really disgraced the Lin family by doing so.”

Concubine Lin wanted to argue at first, but when the queen mentioned the Lin family, her expression changed. She can pretend to say those venomous words quickly, but what can she do after she has said them, the Lin family is no longer what it used to be, if she offends the emperor or argues with the queen again, even if the emperor spares the Lin family, the Zhao family behind the queen will not Let the people of the Lin family have a better life.

Seeing Concubine Lin fell silent, Concubine Rou stepped forward to salute Feng Jin and said, Your Majesty, please give this concubine and Zhao Xianrong justice. Originally, I thought that the people in the palace were harmed by Zhao Xianrong, so I felt resentful and made a move. Things that violated the rules, now the truth is revealed, and I know that I have wronged Zhao Xianrong, and I really feel sorry for Zhao Xianrong.

Concubine Rou is serious. Zhuang Luoyan knew that Concubine Rou would do this, and said with a smile on her face, The empress is also kept in the dark about this matter, how dare the concubine accept an apology from the empress.

Okay, you have suffered such a big crime this time, so you don't have to worry about these things anymore, Feng Jin interrupted Concubine Rou's next words, and glanced at the queen and Concubine Lin lightly, Concubine Lin was by my side Old man, even though I was jealous, I left you a bit of dignity, and I really can't condone doing such a thing now. According to my will, Concubine Lin has a violent temper and bad conduct, and I will give you three feet of white silk.

Your Majesty, Zhuang Luoyan's eyes changed slightly, and she couldn't help but said: Your Majesty, my concubine's life is not in danger, and Concubine Lin has served you for many years, this punishment is a bit severe. After finishing speaking, she knelt down in front of the emperor .

I beg the emperor to spare Concubine Lin's life. Although Master Lin is no longer serving in the court, he has served as Minister of the two dynasties. Now that he is old, he really cannot bear the pain of losing his daughter.

Feng Jin knew in his heart that Zhao Xianrong was worried that his actions would chill the hearts of those veterans. He bent down to help the woman kneeling in front of him, and saw clearly the anxiety and worry in her eyes. Maybe she didn't understand that the Lin family had no influence now, but it was rare to have such a heart.

Since Zhao Xianrong pleaded for mercy, I will spare Lin's life, but this kind of guilt is too unbearable, so she will be deposed as a concubine, reduced to the last class to change clothes, moved to Jingqiu Pavilion, withdrawn from her teeth, and never go to bed. Feng Jin no longer looked at Lin Bin, Lin Changyi kneel down.

A low-ranking dresser in this harem is the mud on the ground, but any court lady and eunuch with some status can be bullied, such a life is probably worse than death. In Jingqiu Pavilion, someone died not long ago, so what hope is there for Lin Changyi to move there now?

Concubine Rou retreated to the side, lowered her head and sneered, Zhuang Luoyan's move was really ruthless, making life worse than death is much more pitiful than dying as a concubine, yet she still put on a kind look .

After the Lin family was dealt with, the queen did not mention Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning is no better than Concubine Lin. Although Concubine Ning is not as favored as Concubine Shu these years, the emperor also loves to go to her these years, and the affection is naturally different from that of ordinary concubines. Now that this kind of thing has been said, no one can be sure whether the emperor will miss the old love, she doesn't want to be such a villain.

Naturally, Zhuang Luoyan would not intentionally mention Concubine Ning. After she was lifted up by the emperor, she sat obediently beside her, watching Lin's face gradually becoming ugly with a docile face, her black and white eyes were innocent and innocent. Helpless, she accidentally tilted her head and met the emperor's eyes, and then she found that the emperor's eyes had become a bit complicated, but it was a pity that she was not capable of analyzing the other's emotions with just one eye contact.

Concubine Ning...degraded to the fourth-rank concubine Hu, moved to the side hall of Ruan Ming Palace, and removed her tooth badge. Feng Jin stood up, patted Zhuang Luoyan's hand, and said a few words to rest well : It's all gone. After finishing speaking, regardless of everyone's reaction, he turned around and left.

Respectfully send off to the emperor. Zhuang Luoyan lowered her head and narrowed her eyes slightly. Ruan Ming Palace is the residence of noble concubines. It is really embarrassing for the emperor to let Hu Caixuan live. Before yesterday, both of them were concubines of the cooperating harem, but today, one is the master and the other is under the jurisdiction.

But if she remembers correctly, a certain son of the emperor was raised under Hu Caixuan, and now that Hu Caixuan has moved to Ruan Ming Palace, doesn't it mean that this prince is also entrusted to Ruan Ming Palace as the virtuous concubine?

How much does the emperor like to let Concubine Xian raise children, one or two are sent to Ruan Ming Palace, if things go on like this, Concubine Xian can really afford the word virtuous.

However, compared to Lin Zhixi's end, the emperor was merciful to Hu Caixuan, which shows that he still has two parts of affection for Hu Caixuan.

Zhaoxian's wound is healed, Concubine Rou walked up to Zhuang Luoyan in a gentle tone, This wound must be taken care of, and don't leave any scars.

Zhuang Luoyan bowed her knees and said, Thank you for your concern, my concubine is fine.

Concubine Rou nodded with a smile, It's fine as long as it's okay. After speaking, she helped the palace maid shake and left.

Looking at Concubine Rou's back, Zhuang Luoyan lowered her eyelids slowly, no matter how much affection the emperor has for Hu Caixuan, at this point, Hu Caixuan will never be able to climb up again. After all, Hu Caixuan is an old man by the emperor's side, and she can no longer rely on her beauty to get the emperor's attention. The things she is doing now have broken the emperor's trust in her, and her intimate sister can't do it anymore. Because of the love in the past, the emperor couldn't bear to let her end up in such a miserable situation. But also because of the affection in the past, the emperor would not want to see her more, let alone remember that this woman used his trust to plot against other concubines.

For Hu Caixuan who has already fallen in love with the emperor, such an ending may be the greatest sadness.

The Cold Food Festival ended in this way, and the concubines from all the palaces also left one after another, and they had a new understanding of how favored Xihe Palace is.

On the Qingshi Road, Concubine Shu walked slowly holding Lingsha's hand, with a slight smile on her face.

Mother, why do you want to help Zhao Xianrong? Lingsha was puzzled, Zhao Xianrong's murder has nothing to do with us.

Of course her murder has nothing to do with me, but since she was attacked, everyone knows that she was framed. In addition to the things that my good sister has done, I am afraid that I am also the object of suspicion. Concubine Shu paused. Stepping down, the gaze stayed on a crabapple flower, I will play a scene with her, clear my suspicion, and get rid of an opponent, why not do it? Holy Grace goes out, which shows its means. Judging from what she said today, I'm afraid she has long been jealous of herself. Without this rival who hates her, there is also one less person to assist in the affairs of the harem, which is of no benefit to her.

Everyone in the harem wanted to watch her play with Zhuang Luoyan, but they didn't expect that sometimes the opponent could cooperate for the sake of profit.

Pinching a crabapple and stepping on it, Concubine Shu pursed her lips and chuckled, Even if the crabapple can bloom for four seasons, so what, I see that this kind of crabapple can only bloom for one season.

The slightly swaying chariot made Zhuang Luoyan drowsy. She leaned on the armrest of the chariot with one hand, lazily looked at the flowers and plants on both sides of the Qingshi road, and narrowed her eyes.

Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace.

Zhuang Luoyan opened her eyes and saw the gate of Xihe Palace. After the chariot fell, she supported Yun Xi's hand and walked down the chariot, stepped up a stone step, turned her head and looked behind her, the setting sun reflected The whole palace was red.

Slowly releasing Yun Xi's hand, she fell down in peace.

Young lady! Yun Xi exclaimed.

Call the doctor quickly, the empress has fainted.

Maybe the emperor is a little bit reluctant to let go of Hu Caixuan at the moment, maybe he starts to miss the past, but what if Zhuang Luoyan, who was framed by her, faints again?

In this harem, people are always inferior to new ones.
