In Tsinghua Palace, Concubine Xian sat under the window to embroider, and the half mandarin duck on the embroidered cloth was lifelike.
Mu Jin came over with colored threads in her hands, "Which kind of gold-wrapped thread does your Majesty want? I found several kinds of gold-wrapped threads in the storeroom, but I can't tell which one is the gold-wrapped thread."
She simply sent all the silk threads she found to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian took a look at her hand, "It's this one, but it's just been stored for a long time, and the color is not very conspicuous. You can find new ones. If not, send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for some."
"Okay, I'll send someone there now, servant girl. Don't be in a hurry to embroider mandarin ducks. It's better to embroider the water waves on the side first, and the gold thread will come after embroidering."
Concubine Xian scolded her, "Why don't you go soon? I'm talking too much here."
Mu Jin backed away with a smile, she knew that it was the purse that Concubine Xian embroidered for Emperor Ning, and planned to put spices for him on the Duanyang Festival. The two emperors and concubines add up to be almost a hundred years old, and the concubine Xian still uses love patterns such as mandarin ducks.
It can be seen that the friendship between the two is long.
After a while, Concubine Xian heard the footsteps of Hibiscus going back and forth, "Have you got it? The feathers on mandarin ducks must be wrapped with gold thread. Other gold threads are either tacky or the color is wrong."
Hibiscus didn't make a sound.
Concubine Xian kept her head down for a long time, her neck was sore, she raised her head and hammered it, only to realize that the person who came was not Hibiscus.
"Your Majesty? Why are you here suddenly?"
Emperor Ning stood alone at the door, only Eunuch Gao was behind him, and no one else was with him.
He stood there silently, not knowing how long he looked at himself.
Concubine Xian felt a little flustered, she forced herself to go forward with a calm smile, Emperor Ning looked inquisitively, "I have nothing to do, just come and see what Concubine Ai is doing."
"I didn't do anything, I just embroidered a purse for His Majesty, so that I can wear spices to dispel evil and avoid poison during the Duanyang Festival."
Eliminate evil and avoid poison.
When Emperor Ning heard these four words, his eyes suddenly became vigilant, and the way he looked at Concubine Xian was completely different from before.
He walked directly to the side of the couch, picked up the embroidered stretcher and took a look, "I am a person who has been diagnosed and treated by the god of medicine, even if I don't get rid of evil and avoid poison, I think it will be fine, what does my concubine say?"
Concubine Xian's heart skipped a beat.
In the past, the only thing that Emperor Ning feared in the court was Gu Huaijiang, who held great power.
Now, everything is reversed.
Except for Gu Huaijiang, he seemed to be afraid of everyone. A few days ago, he had left the First Prince and the Second Prince in the cold, and today he came here to say some indecent words to him.
Did he know something
"Naturally. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and with God's protection, he will live forever."
Usually, I am used to Shan Hu long live and I don't think it is a big deal, but today I heard this from the mouth of the concubine Xian, it is hypocritical.
"I only want to be able to live to eighty like my mother, and I am very content. What long live, long live, my concubine would not use such hypocritical words to perfuse me in the past."
Concubine Xian smiled awkwardly.
Emperor Ning would never say that she was hypocritical.
With a flick of his robe, he sat on the couch, "Today, Eunuch Gao reported something to me, saying that the West Palace caught a little maid who eavesdropped on the master's conversation, and was caught by Danyang on the spot. She said that she was sent by Aifei to monitor From Danyang."
It turns out that Emperor Ning's yin and yang eccentricity today is because of this.
A spy is nothing. In the harem, the empresses compete for favor and position. Whose palace doesn't have a few other people's eyeliners
The problem is that this court lady helped her find out about the establishment of the crown prince. Emperor Ning must never know about this matter!
"Your Majesty, there must be someone plotting against the concubine. If it is said that the concubine has planted eyeliner in the harem, the concubine dare not deny it. The women in the harem have complicated thoughts, and the concubine is temporarily in charge of the harem, so I dare not neglect it. But Princess Danyang is your majesty." His daughter is not a concubine, so what good does it do for a concubine to monitor her?"
Emperor Ning frowned, not daring to believe it, "It is of course beneficial for you to monitor her. She is the second prince's younger sister, and you can get the second prince's movements by monitoring her. Do you dare to say that you don't want the eldest prince to win the crown prince?" ?”
"The crown prince? Your majesty has hinted at the concubine long ago. Your heart belongs to the second prince. How can the concubine dare to hope?"
Emperor Ning carefully looked at the expression of the person next to the pillow. She has shared the bed with him for more than 20 years and has always been considerate and considerate to him.
Spring is not over yet, and she is already embroidering a Duanyang Festival purse for herself, using the most loving pattern of mandarin ducks among birds, which symbolizes the love between husband and wife.
Would such a woman really kill herself for the battle for the position
He hesitated, "I hinted at you, but I didn't give you a definite answer. I told the second prince that he and Danyang raised the matter and were scooped up by the maid, which inevitably aroused the fear of other princes. Perhaps it is because of this that I fell ill." It's inexplicable."
Concubine Xian fell to her knees in shock, "Your Majesty means that someone covets the crown prince's position and intentionally kills His Majesty?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
She knocked her head to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the will to survive gave her a sudden idea.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, was it because of what the Second Prince and Princess Danyang said that day that His Majesty was seriously ill and suddenly became anxious?"
How could she suddenly ask this
Emperor Ning said slowly: "On that day, the second prince suddenly came to see me, afraid that I would not be able to recover from illness, and wanted me to..."
He suddenly couldn't continue, and stared at Concubine Xian in disbelief, "You mean, it wasn't you and the First Prince who did this, but the Second Prince?"
