After the celebratory banquet ended, everyone returned to their respective palaces to rest. The Emperor also returned to Yangxin Hall. On the way, Guan Ling and Xiang Zhu happened to be on the same road. Seeing Xiang Zhu walking in front, Guan Ling had no choice but to go up and talk to her.
"Congratulations, sister. You've been promoted to a concubine.”Guan Ling's voice was clearly tinged with a bit of jealousy as she said,"That day when I went to sister's palace, I saw a medical book. Was it about sister researching the prescription for consumption?" His sister hid it so well that she didn't even tell his sister.”
Obviously, Guan Ling's words had hurt Xiang Zhu. Xiang Zhu frowned and said,"Did Younger Sister not learn etiquette well? You are a noble person, should you greet bengong first?”
Guan Ling felt a bit awkward and said,"Elder Sister actually argued with Younger Sister like this. It seems that we are really estranged. He was not used to it yet. This concubine pays her respects to Consort Shun Pin."
After saying that, she bowed. Xiang Zhu did not look at her and said perfunctorily,"Get up. Younger Sister should know the rules. Elder Sister also doesn't want to be distant with Younger Sister. It's just that there are many people here, so we shouldn't give others a chance to talk.”With that, he turned around and left.
"Thank you for your guidance, sister." Guan Ling stood up after bowing and glared at Xiang Zhu's back. "Che Xuan, it looks like bengong and sister Xiangzhu can't coexist anymore.”
Che Xuan quickly said," Master, don't be discouraged. Consort Shun Pin won't do anything to us." Let's wait and see what Consort Shun Pin plans to do.”
Returning to Yikun Palace, Xin Pin sat on the main seat in the main hall of Fragrant Hall.
Guan Ling's heart tightened, but she didn't dare to say anything. She knelt down,"Pinkie greets Consort Xin Pin."
Xin Pin didn't let her get up. She only drank tea and said to her maid Biying,"The tea is cold. Change it to another cup."
Guan Ling knew that she was in a bad situation and was secretly complaining. She knew that the Emperor's love for her was no longer the same as before. Xin Pin was probably kicking her when she was down.
"Aiya, Noble Yong, you don't have any good tea. It seems that the emperor hasn't come for some time, right? How pitiful!" Xin Pin took the hot tea that Biying had just served and splashed it onto Guan Ling's face.
"Ah!" Guan Ling covered her face and screamed. Xin Pin said,"What's wrong? BenGong invited you to drink tea, and you're still so rude?" Biying, slap him!" Biying walked up and slapped Guan Ling a few times. Bi Ying didn't show any mercy. After a few slaps, Guan Ling's face swelled up.
"Go to bengong's room and bring back the clothes that the emperor gave bengong that she cut.”
"Yes." Biying went to the main hall and soon returned with a few pieces of clothing. Guan Ling broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at the fabric.
Those clothes were given to Xin Pin by the Emperor when Guan Ling was favored. Guan Ling picked out the clothes she liked and tore the rest of the clothes before giving them to Xin Pin. Xin Pin could not swallow this insult and went to the Emperor to complain. Who knew that the Emperor would ignore her and even say that she was unreasonable. Xin Pin went to beg the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was furious and punished Guan Ling to reflect on her mistakes. However, the Emperor quickly appeased the Empress Dowager and allowed Guan Ling to return to her freedom.
From that time on, Guan Ling did not give in to Xin Pin and went against her everywhere. In addition, Xiang Zhu, who was close to Guan Ling, was favored. Xin Pin was afraid of rats. When Guan Ling found out, she had eunuchs and maids catch a dozen rats and secretly put them into Xin Pin's palace at night. Rat climbed onto Xin Pin's bed and woke Xin Pin up. That night was Xin Pin's nightmare, but Xin Pin knew that she was not favored, so she could only be angry but did not dare to say anything.
"How powerful do you think you are?" Guan Ling asked. Bengong doesn't care who you are to the empress dowager, bengong only knows that the emperor dotes on bengong the most. Even if he isn't with bengong, he is with sister Xiangzhu. If you still want to report to the Empress Dowager, be careful that BenGong will not be polite to you!”Not only did Guan Ling take away all of Xin Pin's good jewelry, but she also didn't allow the Internal Affairs Bureau to give her more charcoal for the winter. Guan Ling's entire body trembled when she saw the torn clothes she had cut.
Xin Pin looked at Guan Ling's frightened face and sneered,"What's wrong, Noble Yong? Scared? This is what bengong kept especially for you! Didn't you always deduct the things the emperor gave bengong? These clothes were also bestowed by the Emperor! Come, put it on!" After saying that, Biying gave Guan Ling a look and went forward to strip her clothes.
"How dare you! How dare you tear off BenGong's clothes! You don't want to live anymore!" Guan Ling angrily rebuked.
Xin Pin stared at Guan Ling and said,"This is BenGong's idea. Bengong is a concubine and you are a noble. You still dare to act rashly with Bengong?! Biying! Strip her clothes!" After saying that, Biying reached out and broke Guan Ling's pearl necklace, then pulled off Guan Lingqi's jewelry.
Che Xuan and Eunuch Feng knelt at the side. Che Xuan said,""Xin Pin niangniang, please don't be like this. This servant cut the clothes, niangniang don't make things difficult for master!”
Xin Pin looked at Che Xuan and said,"What a loyal servant!" If you really want to suffer for your master, then take off your clothes and kneel outside the hall in this dress!”
Che Xuan cried as she slowly took off her clothes. Guan Ling pounced forward and pulled Che Xuan back, saying,""Empress, please have mercy! It's still chilly outside. Empress, don't make things difficult for her!”
Xin Pin looked at Guan Ling and said,"Master and servant love each other very much. Biying, hold her back and continue to strip!"”
Seeing that Che Xuan had already taken off her coat and Biying had also taken off Guan Ling's coat, they heard Eunuch Jiang's report from outside,""Shun Pin Niangniang has arrived…"
Xin Pin stood up in shock when she heard this. She secretly complained in her heart. Didn't this Shun Pin already fall out with Noble Yong? Why was he here?
When Guan Ling heard that Xiang Zhu had come, she felt as if she had found a life-saving straw. However, she was afraid that Xiang Zhu would also kick her. However, in such a dangerous situation, Guan Ling couldn't care less. As soon as Xiang Zhu stepped into the palace, Guan Ling pounced at her feet,"Sister! Sister, save me! Sister, save me! Please forgive me for what I did wrong in the past. Save me!”
Xiang Zhu had come to give Guan Ling some jewelry from the Emperor and show off her love, but seeing the scene in front of her, she knew it was unnecessary.
"Aiya! Younger sister! Sister, what happened to you?" Xiang Zhu helped the disheveled Guan Ling up as she looked at Xin Pin and said,"Why is Consort Xin Pin like this?"
Xin Pin saw that Xiang Zhu was equal to her and could only say politely,""Bengong only wanted to teach this noble who doesn't know the rules a lesson.”
Xiang Zhu's heart softened as she hugged Guan Ling, who was crying in her arms. She said sternly,"Even if Noble Yong doesn't know the rules, you can teach her slowly. How can you treat her like this? How could he let a palace maid strip the clothes of a noble? Slap!"
Biying looked timidly at Xin Pin, who frowned and rolled her eyes at her. Seeing that her backer was gone, Biying could only fight herself.
"Use more strength!" Xiang Zhu reprimanded.
Biying closed her eyes and started fighting.
Xiang Zhu turned to Che Xuan and said,"Put on your clothes and help your master change."?”Che Xuan quickly helped Guan Ling into the house.
"If bengong tells the emperor about this, you won't have a good ending!”Xiang Zhu stared at Xin Pin and said.
Xin Pin pursed her lips and looked at Biying slapping herself, not saying a word. The current Shun Pin was the emperor's favorite, and her position was the same as his. He had no advantage, so he could only give in and say,"Blame BenGong's method for being wrong, please Shun Pin Niangniang do not disturb the emperor over this matter.”
Xiang Zhu sat in the main hall and said,"BenGong doesn't want to spoil the emperor's mood because of this small matter, but if you disrespect her again in the future, BenGong will have to speak properly in front of the emperor!”
"Yes." Xin Pin lowered her head and said," But sometimes she has to ride on Bengong's head!”
"This bengong will tell her, don't worry.”
Xin Pin thought about it and although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to lead Biying away.
Guan Ling changed her clothes and came out of the room. When she saw Xiang Zhu, she knelt down,"Thank you for saving my life, sister."
Xiang Zhu helped her up and said,"Little sister, don't be so formal. I'm with you. Little sister, take care of yourself in the future. Don't provoke Xin Pin again."”
Guan Ling nodded. Xiang Zhu motioned for her to put the gifts on the table,"Younger sister, this is what the emperor bestowed to bengong. In any case, bengong has a lot, so I took some. Don't worry, sister will protect sister, but sister must be of one heart!”
"Of course!"
"Alright." Xiang Zhu stood up and said," Little sister, go rest. You must have been shocked just now. Big sister will bring you some ginseng soup. Little sister, drink it and go rest. Big sister will come to see you when you have time."”
"Goodbye, sister." Guan Ling bowed. Watching Xiang Zhu's back, Guan Ling was filled with emotions. Two hours ago, she still hated Xiang Zhu's back view, but now she was as afraid that she would never return as if she was watching her own sister leave.
After the celebratory banquet, Imperial Concubine Xian returned to Jingren Palace and played with the parrot.
"Empress, your noble is here." Eunuch Pu said. "Please," Imperial Concubine Xian said in surprise.
After a while, Zhi Ran came to Imperial Concubine Xian and knelt down.""Imperial Concubine, good luck."
"Get up. How come you have the time to come to bengong?”Imperial Concubine Xian pointed at the couch beside her, indicating for her to sit down.
After Zhi Ran bowed, she said," When the Empress was suffering from lung cancer, the Emperor did not allow anyone to visit her. I thought that now that the Empress has recovered, I would come to visit her. It's already dark. Would it disturb the Empress?"”
"No worries," Imperial Concubine Xian said with a smile. Bengong is also bored by herself, so she can only raise flowers and birds. It's a good thing to have someone to accompany her.”
Zhi Ran looked at the parrot opposite her and said,"I really envy the Imperial Concubine. She doesn't care about power and indulges in flowers and birds."”
Imperial Concubine Xian shook her head and said," What do you mean by not asking the nobles? The rear palace is managed by the Empress. I have a free time. I don't like to fight with others. The Empress treats me well. Of course, I have the time to raise flowers and birds. Ever since bengong fell ill, only the emperor and you have come to visit bengong.”
"This concubine is extremely envious of the niangniang, so I came to ask for advice. How does the niangniang live so leisurely in the palace?”Zhi Ran asked.
Imperial Concubine Xian burst into laughter." Your noble has overestimated me. I don't have much ability. I just don't want to compete." It made the noble intelligent and well-read. Every time the emperor mentioned it, he was full of praise!”
Zhi Ran shyly lowered her head and said,"Your Highness is too kind."”
"Forget it, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early.”
Zhi Ran stood up and bowed.”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
