Zhi Ran smiled as she helped them up and said,"Alright, let's pay a visit to Consort Yi Pin first. After all, she is the main seat of Yanxi Palace.”
Water Deity quickly stopped her." Master, don't go. Lady Yi Pin's illness is incurable. No one in the palace is willing to pay attention to her. Even the Emperor doesn't care about her. He's letting her fend for herself." In the past, there were still a few imperial physicians, but they had all withdrawn last month, saying that there was no way to save them. This servant will tell you the truth…"
Water Deity leaned closer to Zhi Ran and said," Yi Pin Niangniang is actually going too. If you go to see her, won't you be stained with bad luck?"”
Zhi Ran looked at Water Deity's eyes in surprise. She had not expected this woman who was about the same age as her to say such cold words.
"Master, don't be like this. This servant knows that you are kind hearted, but Master must know that there are many things that cannot be violated. The most important thing in the Palace is to protect yourself, not to pity others. Once you pity others, there will be people who will hit you when you are down.”Fei Xing seemed to have noticed Zhi Ran's surprised expression and helped her sit down.
"What exactly is going on?" Zhi Ran looked at Water Deity and Fei Xing.
Water Deity gave Fei Xing a look, and she quickly closed the door.
"Replying to master, this servant has been in this palace for more than four years. This servant still knows a thing or two about the matters in the palace.”Water Deity sat next to Zhi Ran and fell into her memories."Actually, the inner palace seems to be peaceful now, and there are no conflicts. However, when I was still in the wang fu, there was a Ce Fujin who was killed by the current Consort Yi Pin.”
Fei Xing nodded in agreement." I've heard of this before. Back then, Yi Pin Niangniang was just a servant girl in the manor. She served a Fujin, the Fucha family. She seems to be related to the current Empress." On a rainy night, Fucha gave birth to a child. Yi Pin used a beggar's child to exchange for Fucha's child in an attempt to harm the Fujin. That beggar's child was extremely ugly. At that time, the emperor was still the fourth prince, and he despised that child. Because Ce Fujin caught a cold when he gave birth to the eldest brother, he was weak and Yi Pin took care of him, so his health was even worse. Therefore, Fu Cha died on the eve of the emperor's ascension.”
"After the Emperor ascended the throne, he saw that it was very hard for Yi Pin to take care of the Fujin, so he made her Yi Pin. But one day, Imperial Concubine Xian found out the truth. It was said that Imperial Concubine Xian had always suspected that Eldest Brother was not the Emperor's biological son. Later, she ordered people to investigate and found out that he was not. The real Eldest Brother had frozen to death on that rainy night. The beggar had said that Yi Pin had only given her a lot of money and promised that she would not have to worry about food and clothing, so he had given her the child wrapped in a tattered cloth. The Emperor was so angry that he issued an edict to kill the beggar and the so-called Big Brother, and to banish Yi Pin into the Cold Palace. Coincidentally, Yi Pin was pregnant at that time, and the Empress Dowager asked her husband to bear the child before being punished.”
Zhi Ran frowned and sighed." A pitiful person must have something to hate…I didn't expect Yi Pin to be so ruthless in the past. Then why is she still living in Yanxi Palace?"”
Fei Xing said,"It is said that Yi Pin's life should not end. The Emperor ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five. Before he ascended the throne, his elder brother and Ge Ge both died young." The Empress 'Second Brother died before he was even a year old. Imperial Concubine Xian had a miscarriage before. The Emperor finally had an Eldest Brother, but he was not a real Eldest Brother. However, Yi Pin's stomach worked hard. She gave birth to twins for the emperor, both of whom were elder brothers. The empress dowager beamed and asked the emperor to pardon her. The emperor had no choice but to give Fujin Fucha the posthumous title of Zhe Fei. The Emperor hated Yi Pin to the core. After Yi Pin gave birth to the twins, she became seriously ill and had a high fever. The Emperor did not care about her and only took her child to the nanny and let the imperial physician take care of her. The imperial physician saved Yi Pin's illness, but it could not be cured for a long time. Last month, the imperial physician said that there was no hope, so he withdrew them. That's what you are seeing now, Master.”
Zhi Ran sighed with emotion and asked again," I heard that the Empress is very favored. Other than the Empress, who else in the harem has more prestige?"”
"Then it must be Imperial Concubine Xian.”Water Deity answered," Imperial Concubine Xian is also at the height of her power and is deeply loved by the Emperor. Although she is favored, she does not serve the Emperor like a spoiled child. In the Inner Palace, she and the Empress are like sisters. As long as they do not have any conflicts, the Inner Palace is peaceful. Some of the open and secret conflicts between the concubines do not have any effect. The Empress and Imperial Concubine Xian are very harmonious. Of course, as long as there is no conflict between the two most favored women of the Emperor, there is nothing to fight in the Inner Palace.”
" I don't think so," Zhi Ran joked." It's just that Imperial Concubine Xian and the Empress don't have any children now. If they did, they might not be so harmonious."”
Water Deity shook her head and said," That's not true. Imperial Concubine Xian is able to get along so well with the Empress mainly because the two of them do not like to fight. When the Empress was still the Fujin, she gave birth to the Second Prince. Imperial Concubine Xian, as the Fujin, still served by her side without any complaints. Later on, perhaps because she overworked herself for the Empress, she did not realize that she was three months pregnant and then unfortunately miscarried. After learning about this, the Empress blamed herself. However, Imperial Concubine Xian also asked the Empress not to be sad because of her son's death and her miscarriage. When she was in the Prince's mansion, the Emperor only doted on the Empress and rarely paid attention to Imperial Concubine Xian. Imperial Concubine Xian did not fight for favor and raised flowers and birds by herself. She even embroidered with the other Fujin. On the day the Emperor ascended the throne, she embroidered a picture of ten thousand dragons. The Emperor only realized her good qualities and doted on her after that.”
"Is that Ten Thousand Dragons Revealing Auspicious a kind of scheme?”Zhi Ran smiled and took a few sips of tea. It was refreshing and much better than the tea at home.
"Master, Chen Chang is waiting outside the hall.”
Zhi Ran had heard so many "palace scheming" stories. When she saw Ruoqin, she quickly said,""Quickly invite her in!"
When Ruoqin saw Zhi Ran, she happily pulled her and said,""Sister, I came after I put down my things. I haven't had the time to drink tea. Sister's place is really elegant. Eh? Sister, who are you staying with?"
Zhi Ran pulled Ruoqin and said,"With Lady Yi Pin, but she was sick, so I didn't visit her."”
"Elder sister is good. There is no one here, but I have a few people on my side. The main hall is empty, but there are two people living in the side hall. One is surnamed Bai, and the other is surnamed Shangguan. I didn't say anything to them and hurried over.”
"Then I'm sure you're hungry too. Why don't you have dinner with me tonight?”
Ruoqin lowered her head shyly and said,""The Emperor is looking for someone to serve him tonight…"
Zhi Ran was stunned. That's right, I'm going to serve the emperor. I'm actually going to be the emperor's woman. I don't know if being the emperor's woman is a blessing or a curse...
"Sister? Sister?" Ruoqin's shout pulled Zhi Ran back to reality.
"What? Where were we?"
"Speaking of serving the emperor, could it be that elder sister has already begun to think of ways to make the emperor yearn for her?”Ruoqin teased.
Zhi Ran immediately blushed. Nonsense! Watch how I deal with you!"
She stood up and was about to hit her when Ruoqin dodged and said with a smile,""Big sister's face is red, looks like little sister guessed correctly!”
As the two of them were playing, Ruoqin's personal maid, Guxue, said,""Two masters, stop fooling around. It's getting late, Chen Changzai should go back and prepare.”
After hearing Guxue's words, Ruoqin reluctantly said,""Sister, I wonder if we can still play like this in the future. I'll go back first.”
"Okay, be careful on the road."
In the Changchun Palace, the Emperor and Empress were having dinner. There were all kinds of delicacies on the table.
After dinner, the Empress said,"Your Majesty, ChenQie has already settled down the beautiful girls. It's time for them to sleep tonight." The Emperor was going to turn the tables tonight.”
The Emperor nodded his head. The imperial eunuch Yuan Qing had arrived, carrying a tray with the green badges of the five new young masters.
"Five…Let's start with the noble ones.”The Emperor flipped over Noble Lu's green badge. Eunuch Yuan took the tray and left. He then instructed a nanny to inform Noble Lu of the matter at the Jingren Palace's Huanyu Hall.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 30PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
