The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Chapter 36: There are always surprises

Views:

Zhuang Luoyan has never been afraid of anything in his life. He is afraid of encountering literary and artistic youths with noble conduct. In fact, this is not the most terrifying thing.

"Master, have you heard the rumors in the palace?"

During dinner, Zhuang Luoyan was slowly drinking fresh bamboo shoots and fish soup. Seeing Yun Xi walking in with a smile on his face, he wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, "What rumor?"

"My servant heard that after you left the bamboo forest today, the emperor originally wanted to move the palace to Xu Zhaorong, but because Xu Zhaorong liked the bamboo forest, he let Xu Zhaorong continue to live in the Changtian Tower." Yun Xi said this, her words couldn't help revealing a bit of humor "I don't know if Xu Zhaorong still likes that bamboo forest at this moment."

Zhuang Luoyan twitched the corners of her mouth. She actually suspected that Emperor Chengxuan couldn't stand Xu Zhaorong's work, so she deliberately used such words to stab Xu Zhaorong, "Who spread this out?"

"It's spread throughout the harem, how many people are watching the joke," Yun Xi washed her hands and stepped forward to serve Zhuang Luo's rouge, "I thought that Xu Zhaorong was a humble person, and he definitely wouldn't be in the harem. How many people are dissatisfied, who knows that so many people in the harem are waiting for her to laugh."

"Real talented women make people jealous, fake talented women make people disgusting, these two types of women in the harem will not live too simple," Zhuang Luoyan smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter which Xu Zhaorong belongs to, As long as there are jokes about her, there are people in the harem who are willing to watch."

"What a real talented girl," Hearing Zhu sneered, she entered the palace early and served by other masters, so naturally she had heard more rumors about the harem, "My servant heard that this Xu Zhaorong's father was just a prefect. Ever since I was favored by the emperor for her graceful appearance in the rain, she has always looked sad and puzzled.

Hearing Zhu Zhu say this, Zhuang Luoyan sighed sincerely, this is not easy for Xu Zhaorong, and acting as a talented woman also requires a certain amount of face and psychological endurance.

That night, Feng Jin didn't flip the sign of the palace. After approving the book, he read some other books.

Gao Dezhong walked in with a tray and whispered, "Your Majesty, Xu Zhaoyi from Changtianlou has someone bring something."

"Oh?" Feng Jin turned over a page of the book in his hand and asked without raising his head, "What is it."

"It's a sachet with bamboo incense." Gao Dezhong replied in a low voice.

"Huh?" Feng Jin flipped the book for a while, raised his eyelids and glanced at Gao Dezhong, who immediately took a few steps forward.

In the tray is a small and delicate sachet, with a bright yellow base, embroidered on it with a few lifelike bamboos, which makes people look like they are alive.

"This bright yellow fabric, embroidered with green bamboo, doesn't seem very good-looking," Feng Jin put his eyes on the book, "Put it away."

"Yes," Gao Dezhong withdrew softly and glanced at the sachet in the tray, he knew that the sachet would not see the light of day. Exit the inner hall, hand the sachet to the eunuch next to you, "Go and put the sachet away, don't drop it on the ground."

"Yes," the little eunuch took it carefully and hurriedly retreated.

There will never be a shortage of jokes in the palace, and there will never be a shortage of surprises.

If other concubines were still watching Xu Zhaorong's jokes, Concubine Xian would not be able to laugh at this moment. Because the third prince, who was less than one year old, was ill, he was still very ill, his body was hot, and he even cried like a kitten.

Not to mention, how long it took for the three princes to be sent to her, they became so seriously ill. If something really happened, it would be unclear what happened next.

The imperial physicians from the imperial hospital called four in a row, but the four of them did not discuss the result together, so anxious that Concubine Xian could not wait to blame these imperial physicians.

"The Queen is here!"

When the queen and her party arrived in the inner room, seeing the anxious appearance of Concubine Xian, they knew that the third prince was seriously ill, so they had to ask the imperial doctor who was saluteing him, "How is the third prince?"

"Returning to Niangniang, if the third prince continues to have a high fever, I'm afraid..." The head doctor paused, "The high temperature hurts the brain."

The queen understood what the imperial doctor meant. It is uncertain whether the three princes can be rescued, and it is even more uncertain whether they will be burned into fools. She frowned and said, "I don't want to hear this, I want the third prince to live well, you know?"

It doesn't matter whether the third prince is smart or not, the important thing is that the third prince can't go now.

"Queen Empress," Concubine Xian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The concubines and concubines are incompetent, and I don't think highly of the third prince..."

"It is common for children to get sick and have disasters, so you don't have to blame yourself," the Queen comforted a few words and said to the concubine in front of her, "Have you informed the emperor?"

"I just called someone to invite the emperor," Concubine Xian kept wiping the corners of her eyes, making the corners of her eyes that had two tears turned red and swollen. What should the concubine… how should I explain it?”

Seeing Concubine Xian's appearance like this, the queen sighed, and while consoling Concubine Xian, she asked the imperial physician to take good care of her. Her eyes fell on the third prince in the crib, but her worried face had a pair of unwavering eyes.

Everyone knows that the third prince is not valued by the emperor, and his biological mother status is also very low. After giving birth to a child, he went away, leaving only such a child who has no support. Now he is almost one year old, and he doesn't even have a name. It can be seen that the emperor I didn't put my hopes on this son.

But even though the emperor didn't pay attention, he was still one of the three princes in the palace. He was well-raised, but something happened to Concubine Xian. Even if the emperor didn't blame him, he wouldn't be able to stop the women in the harem.

The queen retracted her gaze, and her tone became a little more serious, "Take good care, treat with heart, and make sure the third prince gets better."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress Xian sent someone to say that the third prince is seriously ill and has called several imperial physicians," Gao Dezhong whispered, "The Empress has already rushed over."

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Feng Jin's expression froze, he put down the book in his hand, and asked the palace servant to change his clothes.

"The imperial doctor said that the third prince is in a dangerous condition, with high fever and difficulty in his legs. If it continues like this, he may have a life-threatening worry." Gotta cry."

"Well," Feng Jin glanced at him, "Place in Ruan Ming Palace."

The fact that the third prince was seriously ill soon spread to the palaces, and even the queen mother was alarmed. Although she did not have much affection for the three princes, the queen mother also went to Ruan Ming Palace at this moment.

Several of the biggest masters in the palace went to Ruan Ming Palace, and the rest of the respectable masters did not go to visit, and it was somewhat unreasonable.

When Zhuang Luoyan heard the news that the third prince was seriously ill, he had a certain feeling, and the next moment, he felt that this concubine was really unlucky, and got this thankless job. .

"Master, shall we go and have a look?" Ting Zhu whispered, "I heard that the servants in the palace have gone to visit."

Zhuang Luoyan looked out the pitch-black window and yawned, "I ordered to go down and prepare to walk to Ruan Ming Palace."

How many of these women who went to Ruan Ming Palace were really visiting the third prince? I'm afraid there are more people watching the fun than really visiting.

Sitting on the slightly swaying chariot, Zhuang Luoyan looked at the maid in front of her who was leading the way with a lantern, sighed, and looked up at the night sky illuminated by the full moon. Today is actually the night of the full moon.

When they arrived at Ruan Ming Palace, Zhuang Luoyan stepped down, and a palace maid came forward with a lantern to help her. Zhuang Luoyan smiled slightly at the palace maid, and when she stepped up the stone steps, she saw an inconspicuous woman kneeling beside her, looking at her in her early twenties, with blue silk in a simple bun, leaning against only two The hairpin was fixed, and with that pale complexion, it seemed indescribably embarrassing and pitiful.

Without stopping, he entered the gate of Ruan Ming Palace, and the maid who led the way backed away. Zhuang Luoyan glanced at Tingzhu, Tingzhu stepped forward to support Zhuang Luoyan's hand, and said softly, "Master, the road is slippery at night, Be careful." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Kneeling is the birth mother of the third prince, Kong Cairen."

Zhuang Luoyan nodded, a talented person from the seventh rank is not qualified to visit the concubine at will, unless he is summoned, looking at Kong Cairen's appearance, I am afraid that he is worried about the safety of the third prince.

"Zhao Chongyi is here!"

However, in this harem, all kinds of love are covered with a coat of interests, and even that Kong Cairen, she can't tell whether she is really worried about the third prince or if she wants to win some attention in front of the emperor.

In the harem, people who talk about feelings are all fools.
