When the sedan arrived at Lincui Pavilion, Fei Xing helped Zhi Ran out of the sedan and saw Ruoqin coming out of the room.
"Sister, why are you here so late at night?”Zhi Ran asked curiously," I've been waiting for Sister for a long time. Sister has something to tell Sister."”
"What is it?" Zhi Ran was pulled into the house by Ruoqin.
"Close the door." Ruoqin turned around and said to Guxue, then turned to Zhi Ran,""Just now, Guxue went to the Internal Affairs Bureau to receive some rewards from the Emperor. When she came back and passed by the Yi Kun Palace, she heard the sounds of beating and scolding inside, so she sneaked in to take a look. She found that Consort Xin Pin was asking a palace maid to strip Guan Ling's clothes!”
"What?" Zhi Ran widened her eyes in surprise, but she immediately calmed down."No wonder. Noble Yong is no longer as favored as before. No wonder Xin Pin dares to do this. However, he heard that when Noble Yong was favored, he was arrogant and domineering. Although Xin Pin was the head of Yi Kun Palace, it seemed that Noble Yong had the final say in Yi Kun Palace. Today, she finally got her retribution."
"Yeah, it felt really good!" Ruoqin said. When she was favored, she was just a Chang Zai. Her status was the same as mine, but she wanted me to bow to her. Later, when I was conferred the title of nobility, she always made things difficult for me when I met her. She said that I was tacky and that it was not good. Now that she heard that she had been beaten up, she was delighted!”
Zhi Ran shook her head and said,"This is what I'm most worried about." Noble Yong had always been a person who refused to admit defeat. After suffering such humiliation this time, she would definitely think of ways to fight for favor. Now that her good sister has been conferred the title of Shun Concubine, if she becomes Yong Concubine, it will be even more difficult for us.”
" Yes…" Ruoqin was also lost in thought." Is there any way to bind the Emperor's heart? Sister, you can do it!"
Zhi Ran denied her thoughts and said,"No, in the harem, the emperor will never be alone."”
"Sister, you can fight for it! As long as we can suppress Wang Guanling, we don't have to worry about anything! Moreover, the emperor dotes on you very much. She will definitely be jealous of you! If she was allowed to take the opportunity to be favored and be promoted to a concubine, her sister might end up like Noble Yong today! Once Elder Sister was conferred the Concubine position before her, Elder Sister wouldn't have to worry about her daring to be rude to Elder Sister. After all, they were of the same rank!”
Seeing Ruoqin's determination, Zhi Ran said helplessly,"Compared to myself, I'm more worried about you! Right, Xin Pin hasn't been looking for you recently, right?”
Ruoqin said," Almost not. She used me to begin with. When I was favored, she would often come to my palace to ask about your situation. Later on, after sister was favored, she stopped coming. A few days ago, she called me to her palace and asked me about your situation. I only picked the unimportant things to tell her.”
"That's what I'm worried about!" Zhi Ran held Ruoqin's hand and said," You're only Chang Zai now. Your status is too low. They can bully you anytime they want!”
"That's why little sister has to rely on big sister! If the elder sister was favored, she could protect the younger sister.”Looking at Ruoqin's words, Zhi Ran felt very upset.
"Did Sister go to Imperial Concubine Xian's palace tonight?”
"Yes, I am." Zhi Ran was a little worried when she heard her question. She even regretted going to Imperial Concubine Xian's place tonight.
"If Sister can befriend Imperial Concubine Xian, we will have someone to back us up! Imperial Concubine Xian seems to be an easy person to get along with. Perhaps we can…"
"Yes, I will consider it. It's late at night. Younger Sister, hurry back. Although it's already spring, it's still very cold.”
"Then I'll take my leave." Ruoqin bowed and left.
"Master, why don't you think about fighting for favor yourself?”Guxue followed behind Ruoqin and asked," I want to, but I can't think of anything. I can only rely on her." Guxue, tomorrow, accompany me to pay my respects to Imperial Concubine Xian.”
"Yes."
In Lincui Pavilion, Zhi Ran sat in front of the mirror and removed her hair accessories and clothes.
"The chilly spring wind is bone-piercing, and the mountain flowers have yet to bloom. She untied her hair and thought of Lang, hoping for a full moon and spring in the garden.”Zhi Ran muttered as she combed her hair.
"She is a man of untied heart, looking forward to the full moon and spring in the garden. Why? Spring is here, and Ran 'er misses me?”Zhi Ran turned around and saw the Emperor's figure behind her. She was so shocked that she quickly stood up,"Emperor Jin An. The Emperor is tired tonight, why isn't he resting in Yangxin Hall? "What did you come here to eavesdrop on ChenQie's nonsense…" Zhi Ran said half-coquettishly.
"Oh? Why? But you don't want me to come? Then I'll be leaving!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and Zhi Ran jumped up like a fly and rushed behind the emperor to hug him tightly. Although Zhi Ran knew that the Emperor was deliberately teasing her, she could not believe that his reaction was so strong. Could it be…that I'm so afraid of losing him? Zhi Ran hugged the Emperor and thought to herself.
The Emperor turned around and picked Zhi Ran up from the ground. He slowly walked to the bed,"Since you can't bear to part with me so much, I'll accompany you tonight.”
"Really?" Zhi Ran hugged the Emperor's neck tightly and said,"Does the Emperor really not need to accompany the Empress or Shun Pin?"”
"I haven't come to see you for a long time. Why do you always want to chase me away?”The Emperor placed Zhi Ran on the bed, sat by the bed, looked at her and said," I was originally in Yangxin Hall tonight, but I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about you! So after tossing and turning, I got up to see you.”
"When the Empress was sick, the Emperor was either with her or with this concubine. This concubine was even more pampered than Imperial Concubine Xian, which really made this concubine uneasy.”Zhi Ran said with her head lowered.
"It is only natural for me to accompany the Empress. After Imperial Concubine Xian fell ill, I almost never came. You know that I love you the most.”After saying that, he took off his dragon robe and lay down with Zhi Ran in his arms.
"Whose place did the emperor spend the night at yesterday?”Guan Ling asked as she drank her ginseng tea.
" Master, I heard that it was originally in Yangxin Hall. Later, the Emperor couldn't sleep, so he went to Lincui Pavilion…"
"Lin Cui Pavilion again…Luo Zhiran…I should have known that she was such a troublesome person!”Guan Ling put down the tea set, causing the tea in the cup to spill out.
Che Xuan hurriedly wiped away the tea and said,""Master is not in a hurry. Your noble lady is not a threat to us in the first place. She doesn't pamper us!”
"Yes, but she seduced the emperor! The emperor has left, bengong is guarding the empty bed alone! Other than the empress, the emperor must be bengong's! Ever since I was young, I have never failed to get what I like!”Guan Ling gritted her teeth and said," Now that we're not favored, everyone will step on us. We still have to hold Shun Pin and guard Xin Pin. Isn't this tiring?" Bengong doesn't want to live a life of looking at other people's faces! Only when we are strong will no one bully us! We are now enduring hardships and tasting gall. One day, we will definitely be able to regain our prestige!”
"Master is right." Che Xuan replied.
It was the end of summer, and the days of August were still relatively hot. There were ice cubes in all the palaces to avoid the heat and cool down in time. It had been almost a year since the palace maids entered the palace, but none of them had grown pregnant. Usually, the most favored ones were Zhi Ran and Xiang Zhu, but there was no movement in their stomachs, which made people quite anxious. The Empress Dowager frequently went to the temple to burn incense, hoping to find an heir.
On this day, Xiangzhu was reading a medical book when Guan Ling arrived.
"Greetings to Consort Shun Pin." Guan Ling bowed.
"Get up." Xiangzhu closed the medical book and explained.
Guan Ling stood up and sat opposite Xiang Zhu. She looked at the medical book and asked,"Elder Sister has been studying medical books every day. Why don't you research a prescription for yourself that can help you get pregnant earlier?”
Xiang Zhu frowned." My period just came a few times. It's not stable yet. How can I get pregnant just like that?"”
" But Concubine Yu…" Guan Ling looked through the window and saw Nanny holding Yongqi and taking a walk in the courtyard.
"Everyone is different. Some people get their period early, but mine is late. You, Guan Ling, you're eighteen now.”
"My first time was when I was sixteen," Guan Ling said shyly.”
"Aiya, that's really good!" Although Xiang Zhu said this, she was secretly complaining. She knew that if Guan Ling slept with her again, she would very likely get pregnant with a dragon child.
"That's right, Younger Sister, the last time the Emperor rewarded me with a lot of spices, BenGong couldn't use them all, Younger Sister can pick some? There's also some moisturizer. I smell good. If you want it, take it.”
"Thank you, sister. Then, sister won't stand on ceremony!”
When they reached the dressing table and saw so many spices, cosmetics, and jewelry, Guan Ling was really envious. Jealousy grew in her heart and she called out to Che Xuan,"" You're the best at spices. Help me see if there are any spices that can…" He then whispered into Che Xuan's ear.
Che Xuan sniffed and looked at them one by one. In the end, she chose two spices and a box of makeup.
"Sister, then I'll pick these two!”Guan Ling pointed at the powder in Che Xuan's hand.
"Sure, take it." Xiang Zhu said while drinking tea.
Guan Ling thanked him and left. She already had a good idea to counterattack. It turned out that Guan Ling wanted Che Xuan to pick out spices and cosmetics that contained aphrodisiac substances. As long as the Emperor could enter the Fragrant Hall, Guan Ling would be able to get pregnant with a prince. Then, she would be able to get rid of Xiang Zhu's charity and rise up.
Imperial Concubine Xian was wearing jewelry in her room, and Jinrong was serving her by her side.
"Niangniang, this pair of sapphire bracelets is really beautiful. When did the emperor give it to you?”Imperial Concubine Xian put on the bracelet and said,""That's because bengong recovered from her illness and the emperor bestowed it.”
"The emperor is really considerate to niangniang!”As Jinrong spoke, she inserted a golden phoenix's horn into Imperial Concubine Xian's flag.
"Oh right, do you still have the prescription that Imperial Physician Wei prescribed for bengong to cure her consumption?”
"Yes, I kept it."
"Take it to the Imperial Academy of Medicine later so that we can leave a prescription for them.”Imperial Concubine Xian said as she wiped off her makeup.
"Yes, this servant will go in a while."
"Oh, right." Imperial Concubine Xian turned to Jinrong and said," Go to the Changchun Palace to pay your respects to the Empress."”
"Yes, alright. Then let's go now. This servant will give you an umbrella." Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
