"Why do you want to help Concubine Wang?" Tingzhu carefully squeezed the shoulders for Zhuang Luoyan, "The servant thinks that although Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wang have no enemies in the palace, Duan Duan can't be a good helper."
"They are only enough to protect themselves now, so why don't they help me? They just don't want to provoke an enemy," Zhuang Luoyan leaned against the back of the chair, her posture was extremely lazy, she just wanted to lose her bones, "Your Majesty today, look at I'm walking with her, and she's a bit of a blessing today, what can I owe in this harem, it's not human." Besides, Jiang Xianbi deliberately mentioned Wang Concubine's illness today, and I am afraid she also asked her to do so. To help.
Hearing that, Zhu immediately understood, but remembering Jiang Xianbi reminded the master not to be tempted, his heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the words the master said in the Pear Garden two months ago, he didn't know what to say for a while.
When she raised her head again, she saw that the master had squinted her eyes, she stopped, and made a gesture to the maids who were fanning behind to make them move lightly, and then got up and quietly retreated.
"Master is sleeping?" Yun Xi was holding the sour plum ice soup, and when she heard the bamboo came out, she glanced at the inner room and whispered, "Then I will put this soup on the ice plate."
"The master just ate the ice bowl. It's better to leave this sour plum soup for now." Tingzhu glanced at the sun and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, "This year's weather is not too hot, last year was the hottest time. , The Empress, Empress Dowager and some respectable masters have all gone to the Summer Resort."
"Last year was really hot," Yun Xi recalled last year when the Zhuang Mansion was still preparing to send the master into the palace, but now the master has filled the ceremonies from the third rank, and these days have slipped quickly enough.
"Listen to Zhu and Yunxi, the people from the province in the temple came to ask us if we have enough ice cubes here. If it is not enough, we will send someone over immediately." Fu Bao walked over with sweat on his face, and when he saw the two of them, he asked road.
"The mother is sleeping at the moment, and the ice in the room is still in use. I won't need it for the time being. Ask them to bring it back after noon," Ting Zhu thought for a while, "Remember to give some money to the servant who came to ask."
"Sure," Fu Bao nodded, "I'll go ahead."
The summer night came late, Zhuang Luoyan was wearing a gauze skirt, leaning against the window to enjoy the cool, but after sitting for a while, she found that the northwest corner seemed to be a little strangely bright, she frowned, and she heard the noise outside, Something big seems to have happened.
"Master," Yun Xi walked in, and there was not much panic on her face, "The Ruiqing Palace in the northwest has gone."
"Ruiqing Palace?" The name of this palace sounded very serious, but it seemed that no concubines lived in the harem. She thought for a while, "Which master lives here?"
"It used to be the palace of the waste concubine Wei Shi. Later, after the late emperor gave Wei waste concubine to death, he imprisoned the son of Wei waste concubine Wei Wang," Ting Zhu's complexion seemed a little calmer than Ting Zhu, she was in the palace After staying for a long time, I naturally heard some harem sultries.
"King Dirt?" When Zhuang Luoyan heard this title, he understood how much the late emperor hated this Wei waste concubine.
"Go and find out if other concubines have gone to inquire," Zhuang Luoyan pondered, "This matter has nothing to do with us, we don't need to know too much."
Hearing that Zhu and Yun Xi had gone out, Zhuang Luoyan continued to stare at the northwest corner of the sky full of fire. I don't know if she was delusional or not. I'm afraid this matter tonight was not a simple walk.
After a while, I heard Zhu and Yunxi came back, and their footsteps were obviously much faster than before, "Master, in addition to the emperor and the queen, several masters have already rushed away, just now the servants looked at the Anqing Palace's Concubine Shu, who was sitting and walking. Ran is rushing to Ruiqing Palace, and I heard that even the empress dowager has rushed there."
"Then let's go and have a look," Zhuang Luoyan got up, changed into a formal dress, pulled up a simple bun and followed.
Sitting on the slightly swaying chariot, Zhuang Luoyan thought about some rumors from that year. Concubine Wei Wa used to favor the harem, and even the empress had to avoid her edge, but in the end, the late emperor found out that she had contacted her relatives to support the second prince and become the crown prince. Three feet of white silk, and even the second prince were given a dirty word circle to be banned from Concubine Wei Wei's original palace. Guixi was succeeded by the prince at that time, the current Emperor Chengxuan, and King Gou never left Ruiqing Palace again.
Approaching Ruiqing Palace, I saw many eunuchs and maids fighting the fire with water. The fire had been brought under control. The emperor and his party were sitting in an empty space not far away. Because it was night, she could not see the emperor's expression.
Although there was still a long way to go, Zhuang Luoyan took a step forward, holding Tingzhu's hand and hurried towards the royal army. When he got closer, he found a dignified woman sitting next to the emperor. Yu Yu looks like, she kneels down and salutes honestly, "The concubine has seen the emperor, the queen mother, the queen mother."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhuang Luoyan, whose headgear and clothes were well-organized, and turned to look at the Empress: "This is the concubine who entered the palace this year. It seems that Aijia has never seen it before."
"After returning to my mother, Zhao Chongyi did indeed enter the palace this year," the queen replied in a proper manner. Her appearance was nothing like that of other concubines in the past.
The Empress Dowager nodded, looking at Zhuang Luoyan without any disgust, "Which family's daughter is she?"
"After returning to my mother, Zhao Chongyi belongs to the Zhuang family." The queen replied.
The Empress Dowager nodded again, and just now avoided Zhuang Luoyan's gift, "Go forward and let Aijia take a look."
Zhuang Luoyan lowered his head slightly and stepped forward, and blessed his body two steps away from the Queen Mother.
"Well, it looks like a good girl," the queen mother thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Aijia remembers that a girl from the banker entered the palace two years ago. Could it be that Aijia's memory is wrong?"
"The queen mother is not mistaken," the queen explained, gently fanning the wind on behalf of the queen mother with a fan, "Zhuang Jieyu is also Lord Zhuang's niece, but Zhuang Jieyu is a concubine, and Zhao Chongyi is a direct descendant."
After the queen mother heard the words, she immediately rewarded Zhuang Luoyan with a pair of jade bracelets, obviously also valued the concubines.
Zhuang Jieyu, who was standing among the concubines, was embarrassed in her heart, but she had to look like she didn't care. Presumably, other than herself, no one else would know how angry she was in her heart.
Feng Jin never interrupted from the beginning to the end, but only glanced at Zhuang Luoyan when she had finished her reward and retreated to the concubines, and then looked calmly at Ruiqing Palace, where the fire was slowly being put out.
It was not until Zi Shi that everyone in Ruiqing Palace was extinguished. Feng Jin looked at the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Can King Gou be saved?"
"The minister is incompetent, His Royal Highness, King Dirt, has passed away because he inhaled too much smoke."
"I'm going to see this second brother." Feng Jin stood up and walked towards Ruiqing Palace.
The prosperous palace in the past was a bit desolate because of its disrepair for a long time. Now it has suffered a fire and it is even more desolate. Gao Dezhong looked at the ashes and sewage on the ground, and bowed to help the emperor.
Feng Jin waved Gao Dezhong's hand away and strode to the corpse of the Dirty King. What he saw was the embarrassed King Dirty. Although his body was already stained with charcoal ash and other dirt, he could still recognize it with a face of fear. Whose.
King Dirt didn't inherit Weichler's good looks, but instead looked mediocre. Back then, he acted arrogantly in the harem, and even embarrassed him in front of other minions. Later, after being imprisoned, he scolded him, but now he is just lying down in a state of embarrassment.
Seeing the emperor quietly staring at a dead man, everyone was afraid to let out the air, thinking that they all knew what happened back then.
"I passed on my will, although King Gou behaved improperly and was arrogant and domineering during his lifetime, but he remembered that he was gone, so he was buried with the ceremony of the 10,000 households and changed his title to a ceremony." Feng Jin glanced at the palace, turned and strode away. go out.
The will clearly stated that he was arrogant and domineering in his actions, and he even gave him a title as a gift, which is really ironic. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army glanced at King Li's corpse, told the people below to step up to clean it up, and also turned around and followed out.
When the concubines saw the emperor's return, they saluted timidly, and Feng Jin had no intention of listening to the nonsense of these women, so he waved them all to retire.
The Empress Dowager looked at the desolate Ruiqing Palace and said lightly, "Since this Ruiqing Palace has gone out of water, it should be renamed after it is rebuilt."
Although Feng Jin respected the Queen Mother, he never let the Queen Mother interfere in his own decision. After hearing the Queen Mother's words, he said, "The Queen Mother does not need to worry, I know what to do."
The queen mother nodded and wanted to say something else, but seeing her indifferent face, she finally left with the queen's hand.
Feng Jin glanced at the backs of the Queen Mother and her group, and said slowly, "Puang drive back to the palace."
After the trouble had passed, Zhuang Luoyan had already started yawning while sitting on the chariot, so that even Yangui didn't pay attention when she walked beside her.
"Sister Zhao is tired?" Concubine Yangui said, "Sister is really a kind-hearted person."
Zhuang Luoyan turned to see the concubine Yangui, and said indifferently: "What do you mean by this, sister, you and I are the concubines of the harem, and the queen mother and the queen mother are the masters of other matters. What does my sister need to worry about?"
Concubine Yangui wanted to talk about Ruiqing Palace's exodus and King Gou's death, but remembering those things in the past, she endured it and said, "My sister misunderstood, my sister is just worried that my sister will be frightened by today's events."
"Thank you sister for your concern," Zhuang Luoyan smiled lightly, "I also ask sister to relax."
Concubine Yangui smiled reluctantly, "Of course." Just in time to encounter a fork in the road, Concubine Yangui let the minions who carried the chariots walk away from the fork.
Not far behind the two of them, Concubine Shu Gui and Su Xiuyi walked quietly in the dark, Su Xiuyi saw that Yan Gui Concubine and Zhao Chong Yi Bu Cha were separated, and said, "Sister, it seems that this Yan Gui Concubine is in Zhao Chong Yi's place. There was no benefit."
Concubine Shu glanced ahead and smiled sarcastically, "She still thinks she is the most favored."
Su Xiuyi looked ahead, then at Concubine Shu again, but did not speak again.
How did Ruiqing Palace catch fire, was it accidental or man-made
On the second day, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, but everyone knew that it was the same as whether to investigate or not to investigate. This King Li was a thorn in the emperor's heart. It was better to pull it than to keep it, even if the thorn was nothing. threaten.
None of the ministers went to block the emperor. What the emperor said was nothing, and it had nothing to do with political affairs. The emperor's family had a lot of secrets.
For the concubines and concubines in the harem, either King Li or King Jiu has nothing to do with them. The only difference is that the Queen Mother, who has been worshipping Buddha for nearly a year, has appeared in the harem. What will happen in this harem
Also, will Ye Shurong, who has had a miscarriage, and Ye Ronghua, who has been demoted, fall back on the Queen Mother again? After all, the two sisters of the Ye family are the nieces of the Queen Mother, and this relationship is beyond the reach of other concubines.
Zhuang Luoyan didn't have as many ideas as other concubines. For her, it didn't matter which concubine the queen mother was related to, but the emperor's thoughts.
According to TV drama experience and historical experience, as long as the emperor's cousin or the cousin's concubine has no real power in the family, and the emperor's mother is worry-free, and the concubine knows the occasion, then the life in the harem will still be very comfortable. If the family has real power, the emperor's mother still manages the east and the west, and the concubines and concubines have no brains, such women may be able to flourish for a while, but the final outcome will not be much better.
Therefore, no matter which of the two possibilities the Ye family sisters are in, it doesn't matter to her much, unless the post is now empty.
While Zhuang Luo was happily drinking sour plum ice soup, the reward from the Queen Mother came down.
Zhuang Luoyan looked at the silk jade pendant on the table and smiled lightly. Where is the empress dowager giving rewards to the concubines, I'm afraid she is telling the women in the harem that the empress dowager is going to leave the mountain, so be honest.
