"Emperor, it's time to flip the sign." The eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office said as he held the signboard of the concubines in the harem. "Zhen hasn't visited your noble for a long time, let's go to her place tonight.”With that, she raised her hand and was about to flip it over when the Empress Dowager coughed. The Emperor stopped and looked up at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager stared at him, her eyes filled with determination.
The Emperor was helpless. He gritted his teeth and said,"Forget it, I'll go and see Xin Pin."”With that, she flipped through Xin Pin's sign. After the eunuch left, the Emperor still looked unhappy, but the Empress Dowager was very satisfied and pretended not to see the Emperor's unwillingness.
"Empress, Eunuch Yuan is here." Biying said.
"Congratulations niangniang, tonight the emperor flipped your sign.”
"What?" Xin Pin stood up happily, but she staggered. The palace maids quickly came forward to support her and helped her back to her seat.
"Thank you, Eunuch Yuan!"
"Then this servant will take his leave."
"Quickly bring BenGong's best jewelry and clothes!”Xin Pin instructed," Also, Biying, light some incense!”After saying that, he gave Biying a look. Biying immediately understood.
Soon, Xin Pin was dressed up. She wore a pink cheongsam and waited for the emperor. However, it was very late and the Emperor still hadn't come. At this moment, Yuan Qing came again."Niangniang, the emperor is reading a memorial in Yangxin Palace Hall. He told Niangniang not to wait for her and to go to bed first.”
Xin Pin was disappointed, wondering if the emperor didn't want to come tonight, so she said with a straight face,"Tell the emperor that ChenQie won't sleep tonight and will wait until he comes!”
" Yes…" Yuan Qing retreated.
Not long after, the eunuch at the entrance of Yi Kun Palace shouted," The Emperor has arrived." Xin Pin quickly stood up and knelt at the door to receive him.
"ChenQie greets the emperor!"
"Get up." The Emperor didn't stop and walked straight through the door.
Biying helped Xin Pin up. Xin Pin walked to the emperor and said,"The emperor is tired, ChenQie stewed ginseng soup, the emperor should nourish it.”After saying that, he turned around and gestured to the palace maid.
"It's too hot to drink ginseng soup before bed." The emperor refused, his tone cold.
Xin Pin restrained her disappointment and said,""It's already autumn now, and the night is dewy, so it's easy to catch a cold.”
The Emperor did not refuse again. He looked up at Xin Pin. The pink cheongsam was embroidered with red peonies. There was also a phoenix flower on the head of the flag. There were also some gems and gold hairpins. On both sides were agate beads. Long tassels hung on both sides. Three pearl necklaces of different lengths hung around her neck. She wore two pairs of cloisonné armor on her hands.
"Your attire is so ugly." The Emperor said," Zhen never thought that the royal family would have such bad taste like you, hanging all kinds of gold and silver jewelry on your body.”
Seeing the Emperor's look of disdain, Xin Pin's mental calculations became extremely gloomy. She turned to look at Biying, who took an incense burner from another room.
"Since the emperor doesn't like it, then ChenQie will take it off.”After saying that, she began to undress. Biying placed the incense burner by the bed and lowered the curtain when she retreated. Xin Pin took off her jewelry in front of the mirror and saw the emperor standing behind her.
" Your Majesty…" Before he could finish speaking, he was carried up.
Guan Ling was already feeling uneasy. She didn't expect Xin Pin to sleep with her tonight. Thinking of this, she felt jealous. "Bengong doesn't believe that with your lousy appearance, you can still recruit a sacred pet?! Ridiculous!"
In Lincui Pavilion, Ruoqin sat on Zhiran's couch and said,""Elder sister, why do you think the emperor went to Xin Pin Niangniang's side?”
Zhi Ran said as she embroidered,"Xin Pin niangniang is related to the Empress Dowager. Even if the emperor doesn't like Xin Pin, he still has to consider the Empress Dowager's face. Now that Xin Pin was serving the Emperor, Wang Guanling couldn't sit still!”
Ruoqin also said happily,"Let her experience the depression of Xin Pin in the past tonight!" Is big sister angry now?"
Zhi Ran put down the needle and thread in her hand and said," What do I have to be angry about? Besides, I don't even know who wants to harm me. Maybe it's not Noble Yong but Shun Pin?" I didn't even know. I don't want to blame others until the truth is out.”
"Sister, do you really think that other than Wang Guanling, it's that Gu Xiangzhu?”Ruoqin asked.
"Yeah, other than them, there can't be anyone else!”
"That's true…Alright, big sister, it's late at night and the dew is heavy.”Ruoqin stood up, bowed, and left.
"Master, this servant said something unpleasant. If I said something wrong, I hope Master will forgive me.”Water Deity said after Ruo Qin left.
"Tell me."
"Master said that apart from Noble Yong and Shun Pin, who else could harm you?”
Zhi Ran frowned and asked,"Then who else do you think?"”
"Master has never thought of Ming Changzai?"
"Don't spout nonsense!" Zhi Ran stood up angrily.
"This servant deserves to die! Please forgive me, Master! It was just that in the harem, one had to be wary of others!”Water Deity knelt down.
Zhi Ran frowned and said nothing.
A month later, news came out from Yi Kun Palace that Guan Ling and Xin Pin were pregnant.
"Congratulations, Empress! Good things come in pairs!" The Emperor told the Empress Dowager the good news, and the Empress Dowager was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Do you want to be rewarded?"
"Reward! The emperor will reward you however he says!" The Empress Dowager was very happy.
"Alright then! Yuan Qing! Noble Jin Yong was given the new title of Concubine Dun, Concubine Dun. Concubine Xin of Jin will be your concubine, and you will send someone to forge a golden book for Concubine Xin! The main seat of this Yi Kun Palace is Consort Xin, what do you think, Imperial Mother?”
When the Empress Dowager heard that the Emperor had promoted Xin Pin and continued to let her be the master of Yi Kun Palace, she was very happy and said to the Emperor,""Go and give this widow's Dragon Phoenix Auspicious Pearl to Dun Pin! Give the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant to Consort Xin!"
Seeing the Emperor and Empress Dowager so happy, the Empress also smiled from ear to ear and said,"This is really a good thing! Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, congratulations to the Emperor! Emperor, what day is the coronation ceremony?”
"The end of October. After all, it would take this long to finish the Golden Booklet.”
"Let's go, let's go. Let's go to Yi Kun Palace now and see Consort Xin and Consort Dun!”The Empress Dowager stood up, supported by the Emperor and Empress.
"Sister is really free. She can even embroider this dress alone. She doesn't know how lively the Yikun Palace is now!”Ruoqin walked in from outside the door and saw Zhi Ran sitting on the bed embroidering something.
"Isn't it just that Noble Yong and Xin Pin are pregnant? What's the big deal?”Zhi Ran did not raise her head and continued to embroider.
Ruoqin smiled contemptuously and shook her head,""Sister really doesn't know anything. It's time to go out and get some fresh air. How is that Noble Yong and Xin Pin? It's already Dun Pin and Xin Fei!”
" What?!" Zhi Ran stopped sewing and looked at Ruoqin in surprise." I should have known that they would all be promoted. Forget it, it's fine."”
"No harm?" Ruoqin obviously couldn't sit still and said," Sister, you're so patient. Now that their positions are higher than ours, Sister doesn't have to think about fighting for favor anymore.”
Zhi Ran smiled and said," Sister, there's no hurry. We should learn from Imperial Concubine Xian." It's not easy for others to compete!"
"She's not easy to fight for because she's already a noble consort. Sister, you're just a noble! Sister had forgotten that Wang Guanling was pregnant, but she didn't even know if she could get pregnant!”Speaking of infertility, Zhi Ran's hand trembled and the needle pierced her finger.
" Aiyo..." Zhi Ran put her finger in her mouth.
Ruoqin looked at Zhi Ran and frowned. "Big sister, Wang Guanling is already stronger than us, big sister must be careful!”
In the Yi Kun Palace, Guan Ling and Xin Pin sent off the Emperor, Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager before returning to their own rooms.
"I didn't expect that the main seat of Yikun Palace is still Xin Pin.”Guan Ling was sitting on the couch and drinking tea.
Che Xuan walked over and helped Guan Ling massage her legs, saying,""Master, don't hurt the fetus over such a small matter! Oh, no, this servant should change her address to 'niangniang' now! Congratulations to Consort Dun Pin for your promotion!" With that, he knelt down.
Guan Ling happily helped Che Xuan up and said,""When bengong suffered, you followed bengong loyally. Now bengong will let you live a good life.”He then picked up a jade comb and passed it to Che Xuan,""This, bengong will bestow it to you!”
"How can this servant bear such a heavy gift from the Empress!”
"Of course I can. BenGong will reward you, you can take it.”
Che Xuan accepted it and hurriedly thanked the Empress. Empress, now that you're the only one being favored by the Divine, can you be at ease?”
Guan Ling proudly stroked her belly and said,"As long as they don't snatch bengong's emperor and don't provoke bengong, bengong won't lower herself to the level of the other concubines! Let's go and see Xin Pin."
As soon as she stepped into the main hall, Xin Pin turned around and saw Guan Ling. "Congratulations on Sister Xin Pin's promotion!" Guan Ling bowed.
"No need." Xin Pin didn't seem to like how Guan Ling addressed her and felt that she was being neglected, so she ignored Guan Ling.
"Consort Dun Pin, now that both you and the consort have been promoted, you should address Consort Xin as Consort Xin.”Biying said.
Guan Ling hated servants finding fault with her, so she glared at Biying and said,"Yo, you little slut actually dare to educate bengong?! The emperor said that the coronation ceremony is at the end of October. Only after the coronation ceremony can we be conferred concubines and consorts. Even bengong still claims to be noble forever, isn't niangniang too impatient?”
"You!" Xin Pin looked at Guan Ling, more and more unconvinced. Although the child in her stomach couldn't be conceived without Guan Ling's fragrance, she thought about how she was clearly the head of Yi Kun Palace. If she continued to be afraid of her, would she still have any prestige?
Xin Pin rolled her eyes at Guan Ling and said,"Noble Yong is right. It's a pity that Noble Yong, you've spent so much effort to become a concubine, but you're still not the master of Yi Kun Palace." Therefore, Noble Yong, please understand that you have to be polite when speaking to bengong!”
Guan Ling was furious. She scolded,"If it weren't for my incense, how could you have gotten pregnant with a dragon descendant? I advise you not to forget your roots!"”After saying that, he turned around and returned to his palace.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
