An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Golden Partridge

Chapter 25.imperial power

The emperor also felt a little wronged at the moment, coughed twice and was about to say forget it, only to hear the voice of Concubine Hua from the yard: "It is because the queen's phoenix body violates the harmony that this palace came to pay her respects. Since the emperor also Now, it just so happens that this palace pays respects to the emperor on the way, so as not to make another trip to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Those words broke the stiff and awkward atmosphere in the hall.

The queen asked winkingly: "Your Majesty, do you want Concubine Xuan Hua to come in?"

The emperor was stuck in his heart, he shook his hand, the empress understood the meaning, and let Jianqiu go out to spread the word.

I don't know what Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai said, it took Hua Concubine a long time before she left with her.

After making such a mistake, the emperor's embarrassment also faded by three points. He just looked at Huanbi for a moment and blinked, blurting out, causing trouble.Thinking of the deep affection he had with Zhen Huan in the past few days, he looked at Zhen Huan apologetically: "Forget it, since I'm your dowry and your personal maid, it's not convenient for me to take advantage of others. But I just boasted casually, which made me feel very angry. You are sad."

Zhen Huan's eyes turned red immediately, and she raised her eyes to look at Huanbi, and seeing that the blush on her face had not faded, she couldn't help but get angry: "The emperor doesn't want it anymore, but the concubine is afraid that Huanbi has already made up his mind, so I won't take it anymore." Dare to stay by your side. The emperor should hurry up and take it away."

The emperor immediately pressed three points on the corner of his mouth.

The queen immediately noticed it, and came out with a smile to smooth things over: "Your Majesty Guan is still a little girl, and she is in love with the emperor. I think she is jealous. The emperor should coax her well." She then said, "The imperial study room is short of a For the maid serving tea, how about letting Huanbi go on top? The concubine will choose another one to serve the nobleman of Guan."

Zhen Huan was really reckless, relying on her extraordinary weight in the emperor's heart, she was always subconsciously a little arrogant in her words, usually the emperor didn't care about her, he just thought she was straightforward and cute, everything was good, but right now, the emperor He had already lowered his status and apologized to her, and also gave in, but she still felt inadequate and contradicted her.

The most terrible thing is the queen's words, "The emperor must be coaxed well", at first it sounds like a joke, but before the emperor backed down and Zhen Huan contradicted, this sentence became Zhen Huan's meaning of making trouble for no reason. Thinking of Huanbi, I didn't hear it at all.

The emperor took a deep look at Zhen Huan, who turned her head away and did not look at him. His eyes were deep, and the anger of the emperor would never be revealed. He said slowly in a low voice: "In this case, Su Peisheng, take Huanbi to the royal palace. Study room, teach her the rules of serving tea." He looked at Zhen Huan with eyes fixed, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this?"

Zhen Huan was speechless.

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly stood up and said: "Sister Liugong and Mu Tian's family are kind, the emperor's sacred heart is arbitrary, and he has his own considerations. How can sister Huan control it?" She looked anxiously at Zhen Huan, signaling her not to be rude to the imperial court, " Sister Huan, stop being petty and admit your mistakes to the emperor."

Zhen Huan stared at the emperor with shattered ice, her heart trembled, she lowered her eyes, stood up and saluted: "It's my concubine's dishonesty, please forgive me by the emperor."

She squeezed her palm hard, and suddenly remembered what An Lingrong had said to her——

"The most unacceptable thing in this palace is sincerity, especially towards the emperor. The women in the harem can only seek the emperor's favor throughout their lives, not the emperor's love. If they pursue the latter, they will end up It must be desolate."

She is right.

Zhen Huan suppressed her tears hard, forced herself to smile, looked up at the emperor and said: "Huanbi was lonely and helpless since she was a child, and my concubine grew up with her, and has always regarded her as her own sister." , the concubine is willing to accept her as a righteous sister and let her serve the emperor as the second young lady of the Zhen family."

There seemed to be a smell of blood in her mouth, and Zhen Huan swallowed it back viciously.She felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, as if a raging fire had been ignited in the wilderness, burning out her love for the emperor, and the remaining handful of ashes was what she had longed for and mistakenly thought she had, love.

"It's good enough that you have this kind of heart." The emperor replied lightly, turning over this article.

However, this incident also made him wake up.Zhen Huan seems to be underestimating the imperial power too much.

The queen watched from the side and showed a clear smile.How can the emperor be so sticky about love? No matter how much Guan Gui looks like her sister, she is just a shadow of her sister. She thought Zhen Huan was very powerful before. From this point of view, she is just a little girl who is deeply in love. Girl, don't be afraid.It's a pity that he was born with such a smart look.

Shen Meizhuang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reporting to the Emperor and Empress, Mrs. Cao brought Princess Wen Yi to pay her respects." Jiang Fuhai came in to ask for instructions, taking advantage of the opportunity to break the situation that was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

The queen quickly said: "Take the princess out on a hot day, don't get heatstroke, please come in quickly."

Cao Guiren came in with Princess Wen Yi in his arms, and greeted the emperor and queen's luggage: "All blessings, the emperor, and all blessings, the queen."

The queen saw the red golden steps on Cao Guiren's head that didn't match her makeup and hair at a glance, and suddenly remembered that it seemed that Concubine Hua had brought her, the smile on the corner of her mouth stopped immediately, and she thought it was not good.

With a child around, the emperor's loving father can always be touched, he immediately put aside what happened just now: "The sun is shining now, why are you still walking around with the princess in your arms? You are not afraid, can she bear it? "As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to hug Wen Yi, and when he heard Cao Guiren reply that Wen Yi missed the queen, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and weighed it in his hands twice, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is the princess holding her lightly?"

"The weather is hot, the princess can't eat, so she will inevitably lose weight." Cao Guiren explained with a smile.

The emperor hummed, frowned and complained: "Wen Yi is young and afraid of the heat, I'm afraid the concubines can't stand it either. The weather is too hot, why not go to Yuanmingyuan to escape the heat."

The queen immediately said: "The Old Summer Palace is always on, and the emperor can drive at any time."

"I also want to live there for a while. I was in mourning for the late emperor, but I haven't been there for two years."

The matter was settled in this way, and the queen talked about the accompanying concubines: "There should not be too many concubines to follow, needless to say, Guan Guiren and Shen Guiren, the biological mothers of these princes and princesses will naturally follow, so that it is convenient for daily life Take care of her. Concubine Duan is the weakest, and it might not be appropriate to recuperate in the palace, so why not go with her?"

"Naturally, Rong'er is weak, so she will go with her." The emperor nodded, thought for a while and then said, "Also, I will call you Concubine Jing, that's all."

After a lap, there was no Concubine Hua.

The queen thought about it and said, "Concubine Hua...how about leaving her to take care of the remaining concubines in the Forbidden City?"

With a flash in Cao Guiren's eyes, he took off the red gold walker on his head and dangled it in front of Wen Yi, which immediately attracted the emperor's attention. She said with a smile: "Every time the concubine Hua wears this walker, the princess will laugh, Therefore, Concubine Hua gave it to her concubine to tease the princess." Where did Concubine Hua give it to her, it was clearly that Concubine Hua had a bad nose in Jingren Palace, went back to vent her anger, and asked her to come over to find out through Wen Yi The tone, thinking that the emperor can remember the old things and think of Concubine Hua's goodness, so he forced her to wear it before going out.

Sure enough, the emperor saw Wen Yi staring at Bu Yao intently, laughed out loud, and waved his hand to answer the queen: "Concubine Hua is going too."

The Queen's smile froze immediately.

Under the seat, Shen Meizhuang's face was slightly cold, but Zhen Huan watched the emperor teasing Wen Yi with cold eyes, and after listening to the list just now, she realized that the emperor's heart was divided into so many pieces, and she was still wishful thinking that the emperor treated her differently, but It turned out that she was just one of them.

Back at Suiyuxuan, Zhen Huan finally couldn't hold back and cried.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't bear to comfort her, and persuaded: "Huan'er, how can you and I live for ourselves? Parents, brothers, and relatives are all burdened by worries. Don't get too involved. I know that the emperor treats you with Others are different, but it's just different. He is the emperor and the son of heaven, and he is destined to have a heart that will not only pretend to be you. Yesterday there was Yu Shi, and today there may not be Huanbi, but they are all servants of Israel. Look. Open some."

"Sister Mei, I'm just sad..." Zhen Huan wiped the tears off her face, "I really like the emperor, and I know he is the emperor, so I gave up the delusional idea of ​​only seeking someone with one's heart early in the morning, but I beg him Just wait for me to pay attention. But... but the people around Huanbi, when I think of the emperor with me, he pays attention to Huanbi with two purposes, I feel sick." She was angry and hated, gnashing her teeth .

"You can't talk nonsense." Shen Meizhuang hurriedly covered her mouth, and said in a low voice, "I'm looking at what happened today. It may not be the emperor who has the heart, but the emperor who was hooked first by Huanbi. I'm sitting opposite She saw it clearly, she knelt down and raised her eyes to look at the emperor, that look has been practiced for a long time, and that look is a bit like you, no wonder the emperor lost his mind at a glance." Seeing that Zhen Huan calmed down a little, she Then he said, "Also, I haven't seen Huanbi for some time. When I first saw her today, I felt that she was much more beautiful, with fair skin and a lot of thinner body. Although her clothes were the same as before. , but there is a little more style in her behavior, she serves by your side every day, haven't you noticed?"

Zhen Huan suddenly remembered: "A few days ago, Sister Rong seemed to mention it to me, I..." She bit her lower lip and didn't say any more.

Shen Meizhuang sighed: "That's it, Huanbi probably already had this idea."

But even so, Zhen Huan still felt very uncomfortable.

One is her pillow person, and the other is her own sister. She is in pain like being betrayed by two people closest to her.

But Huanbi's biological mother is not only a Han Chinese, but also the daughter of a criminal minister, so she can only hide her identity for so many years and stay with Zhen Huan as a personal servant girl, and cannot be brought into Zhen Huan's house to be her second lady.Some time ago, because Huanbi was punished, Zhen Huan had identified her identity, comforted her in the name of her eldest sister, and promised to find her a good family in the future, which made her feel at ease for a while.

Zhen Huan originally thought that she and Shen Meizhuang could love sisters even if they were not related by blood, and that she and Huanbi were blood-related sisters, so no matter what, they should be of one heart and one mind, so An Lingrong reminded her to pay attention to Huanbi's behavior At that time, she denied this possibility in her heart without even thinking about it.

But I never thought that this possibility would actually come true.

But thinking of Zhen's family full of families, Zhen Huan had to swallow this breath again.

If the emperor finds out that her father was fortunate enough to be a sinful courtier, she might not only cause her father to lose his official position, but even the entire Zhen family would have to bear the emperor's anger. Take it down.

Zhen Huan closed her eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Shen Meizhuang persuaded her a few words, came out of the main hall, met An Lingrong head-on, and told her what happened today: "Huan'er will definitely be in a bad mood these days, Ronger, please help persuade her Advise her, if the emperor comes..."

"Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of it for Sister Wan." An Lingrong nodded.

Shen Meizhuang sighed: "I heard from Huan'er that you noticed Huanbi a few days ago and reminded her, but she didn't listen to it. If she had noticed and dismissed Huanbi early in the morning, there would be no such thing as today. "

"Not necessarily." An Lingrong shook his head, "It's not that I've seen Huanbi's thoughts in the past two days, but recently she got help from someone, so she became tender and tender, which attracted the emperor's favor." She thought Pointingly looking in the direction of Yikun Palace, seeing Shen Meizhuang's eyes widen in surprise, he said again, "A few days ago, Dou Kou saw Huanbi meet with Cao Guiren, and Cao Guiren gave her a lot of things. Sister Xi You can figure it out."

"It's her again!" Shen Meizhuang stirred the handkerchief resentfully.

"It's true that Huanbi has his own thoughts, but more, I'm afraid they are being used." An Lingrong reminded Shen Meizhuang, "My sister must be more careful in the near future and guard against Huanbi, otherwise she will make trouble. It hurt my sister."

Shen Meizhuang nodded: "You have always been the most careful, I know."

After talking for a while, Shen Meizhuang left.

An Lingrong looked at the quiet main hall, thought for a while, and went in to talk to Zhen Huan, to comfort her and remind her.

There are too many things to sort out in Yuanmingyuan, and it takes another four or five days. The matter of Huanbi was also finalized in these four or five days. To hinder Zhen Huan's face, the emperor only gave her the position of official woman. Taking into account her identity as the Second Miss Zhen, he also asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draw up a name for her.

The Zhen family was from Yu Cong Daughter, but Huanbi was only Zhen Huan's righteous sister in name, so she only took the character of Yu and called Zhen Yuyin.

As a result, there was one more lady from Zhenguan in Qixiang Palace, and one less palace lady in Suiyuxuan.

In this way, until the day of departure for Yuanmingyuan.
