News of Guan Ling's actions quickly spread throughout the Forbidden City. The one who couldn't sit still the most was Ruoqin. As soon as she learned of this matter, she ran to find Zhi Ran in a panic. Coincidentally, Zhi Ran had just finished listening to Water Deity talk about this matter.
"Sister! What should he do? If Guan Ling is favored, we will definitely be persecuted by her!”Ruoqin frowned. She was worried that her future would not be easy.
Zhi Ran grabbed Ruoqin's hand and said," Sister, don't be anxious. Let's wait and see. Besides, we still have Lady Xin Pin. I believe that the one who can't sit still at this time is Lady Xin Pin. Her position is higher than Guan Ling's. No matter how much Guan Ling is favored, she's just a Chang Zai. Even if she's rewarded, she's just a noble. In short, let's wait and see."”
In Fei Xi Xuan, Xiang Zhu was also stunned. The maid, Pin Ru, described the scene as magnificent. The eunuchs and maids kept clapping and cheering. The Emperor was also intoxicated. Xiang Zhu raised her eyebrows,"It seems that Guan Ling has some tricks up her sleeve." Looks like it's not our turn to sleep tonight. Let's go to Fragrance Hall after lunch. Guan Ling is smart, she doesn't want to tell BenGong anything.”
Imperial Concubine Xian and the Empress were having a meal together in Changchun Palace. Jin Rong, who was beside Imperial Concubine Xian, told them what had happened. Jinrong was Imperial Concubine Xian's loyal maid. She had been serving Imperial Concubine Xian since she was still in the Prince's mansion. Imperial Concubine Xian trusted her very much. Jinrong recounted what had happened. Although she did not describe it as magnificent, Imperial Concubine Xian and the Empress were both old people in the palace. Now that the Emperor had gone, their dance must have been very outstanding.
"It seems that Yongchang Zai is really powerful.”Imperial Concubine Xian put down the silver chopsticks in her hand and said," No wonder the Emperor didn't even come to my place today."”
The Empress put down her chopsticks and looked at Imperial Concubine Xian.""We are all old people by the emperor's side. With a new person by the emperor's side, he will naturally be more favored than us. BenGong doesn't mind. Since ancient times, an old love can't defeat a new love. You and I should also know that Yong Changzai is younger than us. If the emperor likes her so much, then let her be.”
Imperial Concubine Xian looked at the Empress and said," Then let's relax. No matter what, you are the Empress. The position of the main palace is unshakable.”
The Empress nodded and looked out the window.
After lunch, the Emperor looked at Guan Ling and gently stroked her face, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Alright, zhen is going to Cining Palace.”Then, he stood up.
" Your Majesty…" Guan Ling threw herself into the Emperor's arms," Please accompany Guan Ling…"
"Why? Guan Ling can't bear to see me leave?”
Guan Ling nodded and the Emperor whispered into her ear,"Then zhen wants you to accompany zhen at night."
Guan Ling was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him. "ChenQie respectfully sends off the Emperor!"
Seeing that the emperor had not come to her place from the beginning to the end, Xin Pin was burning with jealousy. She slammed the table and wanted to go to the Fragrant Hall, but Biying quickly stopped her and said,"Empress, don't go!"
"Why? Bengong must teach that little fox a lesson! Looking at her sickly appearance, BenGong really wanted to slap her!”
"Empress, please calm down! Listen to this servant." Biying gently pressed Xin Pin down on the stool and said," Now that Yongchang Zai is being favored by the Emperor, I believe that she will have to serve him tonight. If the Empress provokes her now, she will go to the Emperor and complain about you tonight. Wouldn't you be in big trouble?" If this servant were to say, Niangniang should endure it first. Perhaps the emperor will get tired of playing with her for a few days. Then, when Yongchangzai falls out of favor, it won't be too late to deal with her!”
Xin Pin glared at the Fragrant Hall and said through gritted teeth,""Alright, right, bengong wants to see how long you can be favored!”
Guan Ling sat in front of the dressing table. The dressing table was filled with jewelry, all of which had been given by the Emperor. There were three pairs of agate bracelets, one pair of jade earrings, three pairs of ruby earrings, three pairs of jade bracelets, three gold hairpins, three silver hairpins inlaid with rubies, ten pearl necklaces, and six pairs of armor.
Guan Ling caressed the gifts and smiled. She then picked up a pearl necklace and said to Che Xuan,""Take it, bengong will reward you. If you didn't tell me that the emperor would pass by the lotus pond every time, bengong wouldn't know how to attract the emperor's attention. As long as bengong has a bite to eat, bengong will give you a mouthful to drink.”
Che Xuan quickly knelt down to thank him." Thank you, Master. Che Xuan will definitely be loyal to you. I'll go through fire and water and die for you!"”
Guan Ling looked at her and nodded.
"Noble Gu has arrived-"
Guan Ling was startled and quickly left.
"Younger Sister pays her respects to Elder Sister." Guan Ling bowed.
Xiang Zhu helped her up and said," I heard that little sister performed a song and dance today. It was really beautiful. Big sister didn't have the fortune to see it. I also heard that the emperor saw it and even came to eat with little sister."”
Guan Ling smiled and gave Che Xuan a look. Che Xuan went to the dressing table to get some jewelry.
"Sister, please choose. This is all bestowed by the emperor.”Guan Ling said.
Xiang Zhu smiled and waved her hand." There's no need. How can I take something that the Emperor has given me?" Just keep it."
"Don't worry, the emperor likes me very much. As long as it's what I want, I'm not afraid of not having it. Sister, you can take whatever you want.”
Xiang Zhu still declined politely." Alright, I don't lack these jewelry. Take them, sister. I'll go back first. Lady Yu Pin is pregnant, so I'll go visit her."”Then, he got up and left.
"Sister, you just arrived and you're leaving? Then I won't send you off.”Guan Ling bowed and sent him off.
"This pampered woman is really different. She looks down on others in her bones.”Taste Ru supported Xiang Zhu and said.
Xiang Zhu didn't say anything, but thinking about what Guan Ling had said to her, she felt a bit angry.
"What do you mean by 'the emperor likes me a lot, as long as it's what I want, I'm not afraid of not having it'? This is clearly looking down on you.”Pin Ru said with a pout.
Xiang Zhu pursed her lips, turned around and gave her a tight slap. The product Ru hurriedly kneeled down: " Master, please forgive me. I shouldn't have talked about Yongchangzai. I deserve to die!" This servant deserves to die!" After saying that, he slapped his own mouth.
"Forget it, bengong doesn't want to hear anything about Yongchangzai!”Xiangzhu shook her head and walked away. Ru quickly got up and followed closely behind Xiangzhu.
In the evening, the eunuch of the Minister's Office came to ask the Emperor to turn over the green head card. The Emperor did not even look at it and said,"Fragrance Hall will always be here." The empress looked up at the emperor, who was focused on finishing the rice in his bowl.
"Rise, Yangxin Palace Hall."
"ChenQie respectfully sends off the Emperor." The Emperor ignored the Empress and hurried out of the door.
The Empress looked at the Emperor's departing figure, her face full of worry.
"Niangniang, get up, the ground is cold.”Granny Fang helped the Empress up.
The Empress smiled lightly." BenGong has never seen the Emperor so anxious to see anyone. Never. Today is also the first time the Emperor finished his meal so quickly. The dishes were almost untouched, and the snacks were not eaten.”The Empress looked at the table and said calmly. Zidai lit a sandalwood incense and hoped that the Empress could calm down.
In Scenic Yang Palace, Zhi Ran and Ruoqin were chatting.
"Master, tonight is Yongchang's night.”Gu Xue came in and said.
Ruoqin nodded expressionlessly and glanced at Zhi Ran. Zhi Ran didn't look at her, but quietly embroidered the purse in her hand.
"Guan Ling is good at singing and dancing. How can we be favored?”Ruoqin broke the silence.
Zhi Ran still didn't look at Ruoqin. She continued to embroider the things in her hands and slowly said,""Even Consort Xin Pin isn't in a hurry, so why should we be nervous? Guan Ling is in Yi Kun Palace and not in Scenic Yang Palace, so Consort Xin Pin should be angry.”
Sure enough, as Zhiran expected, in Yikun Palace, Xin Concubine was restless. She frowned as she watched the palace maids and eunuchs come and go. Mother Lin, who taught etiquette, arrived. After Guan Ling was bathed, a eunuch wrapped her up and carried her to Yangxin Palace. Seeing Guan Ling being carried away, Xin Pin's heart felt like it was being pulled by something. Unknowingly, tears flowed down his cheeks. In the three months that he had been in the palace, the number of times the Emperor had visited him could be counted with one hand.
Perhaps it was like this every night. Some people were happy, while others were sad. There were so many women in the harem, but the Emperor only had one. Every concubine seemed to have to go through the stages of being favored, losing favor, regaining favor, and fighting for favor. In order to make the Emperor notice her, methods were indispensable. Other than the Emperor's favor, she also needed her child to be the Crown Prince. It would be best if she could also have the power of the harem. Everyone stayed in the palace for a long time, and their motives were not so simple.
Perhaps this was the women in the harem. They were controlled layer by layer. Although some were controlled, they were unwilling to obey. If they wanted to leave others and throw themselves into the ground, they had to work hard to climb up. If they wanted to get rid of the control of others, they would definitely suffer a lot. Everyone in the harem was scheming. The only unchanging rule was to let themselves live safely. It was best to be slick and slick. If they had the ability, they would try their best to suppress others without batting an eyelid. Deceiving each other was not only in the imperial court, but also in the harem. Perhaps hundreds of years later, it would still be the same.
After Guan Ling was favored, the Emperor loved her very much. Ever since Guan Ling became the Emperor's bedmate, the Emperor had flipped through Guan Ling's green badge almost every time. In the past few months, Guan Ling had been flipped over more times than the Empress and Imperial Concubine Xian combined. Among the other people who entered the palace at the same time, only Wanrou had been flipped over once.
The twelfth lunar month had arrived, and it was snowing heavily in Beijing. All the palaces had new clothes for the winter. Only Guan Ling had the most clothes, and they were all personally given by the Emperor.
On this day, in the Changchun Palace, the Emperor had finished his morning court session and went to the Empress. "It will be New Year's Eve in another ten days. Empress, you have to make some arrangements. Other than the New Year's Eve banquet, Zhen also wants to reward Yongchangzai.”The Emperor looked at the charcoal fire and put his hands on it to warm himself." I'll be conferred the title of Noble Forever." Also, Concubine Yu gave birth to my fifth elder brother Yongqi and was granted the title of Concubine Yu. Noble Lu has already gone to bed. The Empress Dowager likes Noble Lu's embroidery very much and has mentioned it many times. She said that it is auspicious and festive, so she gave Noble Lu the title of 'Qing'. Empress, what do you think?”
The Empress nodded." Chenqie understands. Chenqie will go and make arrangements. Biquan, in a while, you have to go to the respectful service room to register the newly conferred Noble Yong and Consort Yu. Also, Noble Lu has to confer the title of Qing.”
Eunuch Bi nodded. Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
