Zhuang Wanqing's demotion was not a big deal in the eyes of the concubines. He was not favored, was from a concubine, and had old grudges with the favored concubine. Not to mention being demoted, even losing his life would not be surprising.
She took off the pomegranate flower in her hair, and took off the golden steps and tassels at will. Zhuang Luoyan let her blue silk scatter down, looking at the slightly blurred face in the bronze mirror, she got up and was served by Tingzhu and Yunxi. Changed to a 90% new loose skirt.
In this harem, if you don't want others to use your shortcomings to criticize you, you should put your shortcomings in front of the emperor earlier. She had already been on guard against someone trying to use the so-called sisterhood against her, so she had concealed the bad sisterhood in front of the emperor and cut off the road.
This direct daughter has a bad relationship with the concubine, isn't it normal? What's more, the emperor was a direct descendant, and he suffered a lot from the Dirty King when he was young. Maybe he felt the same way about her bad relationship.
"Niangniang, are you going to rest now?" Tingzhu glanced at the sky, it was still early, it wasn't the time to sleep, just seeing the master like this, she couldn't say anything else.
"I'm so tired, I don't need to bring dinner," Zhuang Luoyan covered her mouth and yawned as she walked to the bed. "Someone came and said I'm resting and I won't see any guests."
"Yes," Tingzhu stepped forward to make the bed for Zhuang Luoyan, closed the gauze curtain, and took a few steps back to stand.
Yun Xi looked at him and stood on the other side.
When Feng Jin walked to Xihe Palace, he found that Xihe Palace was very quiet. The eunuch guarding the gate saw him and was about to report, but was stopped by Feng Jin, "Your mother-in-law is resting? No need to report, I will go and see. Just go see her."
The eunuch guard didn't dare to say any more, so he bowed and stepped aside. Seeing the emperor walk in, he couldn't help but be a little worried, hoping that the master didn't say anything he shouldn't say or do something he shouldn't do at this time.
The further he went inside, the quieter he became. Feng Jin walked outside the main hall and saw the palace maid and eunuch guarding the door, so he was sure that Zhuang Luoyan had rested. Thinking of what happened today, Feng Jin frowned.
He understands Zhuang Luoyan's intentions, and also understands why the Zhuang sisters have conflicts. Although he can't remember what Zhuang Luoyan looked like when he entered the palace, but now that he is attached to it, he can't tolerate Zhuang Wanqing as a concubine. bullied her.
He has also seen a lot of slanderous tactics in the harem. The queen is still a brain, and did not take the opportunity to make any inappropriate decisions.
Avoiding the palace servants who were standing outside the door to greet him, Feng Jin quietly entered the hall, passed through the Duobao Pavilion to the inner room, Feng Jin waved to the two palace maids who silently greeted him, and walked gently to the bedside. , opened the gauze curtain, and saw Yingri's fair face under the lotus brocade quilt.
Tingzhu and Yunxi exchanged glances, Yunxi quickly brought the carved wooden pier to the bed, then Fushen stepped back, and the tea cup presented by Tingzhu was put aside by Feng Jin.
However, in the past two months, the person on the bed has lost a lot of weight. Even if he smiles naturally in front of him, he can't hide the sadness in his eyes. As an emperor, he doesn't have to care too much about the concubine's joys, sorrows and sorrows. For the royal family, the concubines are nothing more than the emperor's toys and reproductive tools, so he feels sorry for the woman's forced joy, but he doesn't know what to make up for her.
Maybe as a man, facing a woman who treats him wholeheartedly, he always feels two points of guilt, so he cares more about Zhuang Luoyan.
People are completely defenseless when they fall asleep, Zhuang Luoyan frowned slightly, which shows that she is not as relaxed as usual at this time.
With a light sigh, Feng Jin stretched out his hand and lightly tapped between his eyebrows. The tender touch made his fingertips tremble. He slowly retracted his hand. Looking at this face, his heart softened. He was still an eighteen-year-old boy. What about girls.
After sitting quietly for a while, Feng Jin walked out again silently, out of the main hall, Feng Jin glanced at the door behind him, "Place the Anqing Palace."
Gao Dezhong, who followed the imperial driver, suddenly understood that the emperor was going to stay with Concubine Shu Gui today.
After Feng Jin left, Zhuang Luoyan, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. Before she lay down, she was guessing whether the emperor would come. It seemed that she won the bet.
Sometimes being weak does not necessarily provoke pity, but pretending to be strong is even more rare and distressing.
Seeing that Zhuang Luoyan woke up, Yun Xi stepped forward and said, "Master, are you awake?"
Zhuang Luoyan sat up, rubbed his forehead and said, "How long have I slept?"
"Master, you haven't slept for a long time. The emperor came here just now. I just saw you sleeping, so I couldn't bear to call you." Yun Xi put a cushion behind Zhuang Luoyan, "The servant asked the small kitchen to cook a can of black chicken for you. Bird's nest porridge, can you use some?"
"The emperor has come?" Zhuang Luoyan's eyes brightened slightly, and his tone immediately calmed down, "Didn't the emperor flip the sign of Anqing Palace today?"
Yun Xi opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Today is the Flower Festival, and the emperor did not care about the queen's face, but went to Concubine Shu, which shows how favored Concubine Shu is.
Zhuang Luoyan sighed, "You all step back, I don't want to use it if I'm not hungry."
Seeing her like this, Yun Xi wanted to persuade her again, but Ting Zhu gave her a face, and the two retreated silently.
"Ting Zhu, why don't you let me persuade the master?" Yun Xi looked at the inner room with some worry, "Master is in a bad mood right now."
"It will be useful if you persuade?" Ting Zhu sighed, "There are some things that we do not have to persuade as slaves. We just have to wait for the empress to figure out, how can there be room in this harem... how can there be a lot of affection."
In the Anqing Palace, Feng Jin and Concubine Shu were lying on the bed, Concubine Shu stared at the man lying beside her with a smile on her face.
"What is Ruizi looking at me for?" Feng Jin slept on his side, staring at each other with Concubine Shu.
"Your Majesty looks good," Concubine Shu Gui smiled sweetly, "I can't see enough of my concubine."
"I think Concubine Ai's beauty is delicious," Feng Jin retracted his gaze and lay flat on the bed, "I didn't give you a hairpin today, do you blame me?"
"Sister Zhao has just entered the palace, and she is younger than her concubine. The emperor should take care of her. As long as the emperor has a concubine in his heart, the concubine will be satisfied." Concubine Shu Gui leaned carefully against the emperor, "Sister Zhao has been taken care of today. It's not good to ruin the rank clothes worn during Jinfeng."
"What's wrong? Didn't I ask Shangyi Bureau to give her a few sets of clothes," Feng Jin squeezed the back of her hand, "It's getting late, why talk about other concubines, rest early."
"Yes," Concubine Shu Gui smiled even more sweetly. Listening to the emperor's words, Zhuang Luoyan was just a bit more advanced than Yangui's concubine.
But now the emperor is still a little interested in her, so he can just watch it himself. As for others who want to do something to Zhuang Luoyan, it doesn't matter to her.
In the Shuben Zhai, Zhuang Wanqing was wearing a half-old Luo skirt, standing blankly under a banyan tree and looking in the direction of Qianzheng Palace. The Shuben Zhai behind him was shabby and gray.
This place is a veritable cold palace. No one comes or cares about it. It is far away from Qianzheng Palace, as if it is not the emperor's harem.
"Master, let's eat," Xie Yu stepped forward cautiously.
"Meal?" Zhuang Wanqing laughed at himself, "I'm afraid even the cats and dogs raised by other concubines and concubines in the palace don't like to eat those things."
Xie Yu glanced at her worriedly, "Master, keep the green hills so you don't have to worry about burning wood, don't let your body get by."
"How am I, who else cares?" Zhuang Wanqing's face suddenly became a little distorted, "If it wasn't for that slut Zhuang Luoyan, why would I have fallen to this point? How much did the waiter climb to the side of the fourth grade Jieyu, and now she has made me become nothing again?!"
"If it weren't for you, how could this palace be rejected by the emperor and oppressed by the people in the harem?"
The door of Duan Benzhai was opened with a creak, Zhuang Wanqing and Xie Yu turned around and saw Zhuang Luo roaring with a pink dress, standing at the door with two palace maids, looking at him expressionlessly.
"You all know?" Zhuang Wanqing showed a mocking smile on his face, "It's really funny, I thought I was smarter than you, but who knew that you were a master who pretended to be a pig and eats a tiger. At the altar of the gods, you deliberately let the palace maid trip me, and then Just standing in a position where I can catch it, who would believe that you really pushed me down, they will only laugh at me for being stupid, over-thinking, and using this method to frame you."
Zhuang Luoyan walked into the door, tilted his head and looked at Zhuang Wanqing with a pure and kind face, "What is my sister saying, why can't my sister understand?"
"Chi," Zhuang Wanqing sneered when she saw her appearance, "Yes, you will always be this innocent, ignorant and self-willed appearance, which makes father's mind put on your heart, and now you use the same It's really disgusting to use the means to seduce the emperor."
"Isn't my elder sister also attracting the emperor's attention with her gentle and pleasant appearance?" Zhuang Luoyan smiled and glanced at the dilapidated Duanbenzhai, "It's quiet here, which is very suitable for elder sister's temperament. When you calculated that I would fall out of favor, you should have thought that if I regained favor one day, I would definitely pay back your calculation of that day."
"You said that today, how do you know that I won't have a recovery day?" Zhuang Wanqing looked at her bitterly.
"Naturally, there is no more," Zhuang Luoyan smiled, "Have you forgotten, what the emperor experienced when he was young, the emperor is the direct son, and you are precisely the concubine."
After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at Zhuang Wanqing, walked out, and said, "Listen to Zhu, go to the temple and say something, my sister is always fond of the old days. If the people in the temple are okay, don't come to Duanbenzhai to harass my sister."
"Yes, Niangniang." Listening to Zhu Yingying's bow, her smile was as harmless as Zhuang Luoyan.
After leaving Duanbenzhai, Zhuang Luoyan raised his head and glanced at the blue sky, tit for tat, that day, Zhuang Wanqing caused the original owner of this body to fall out of favor and die.
"Zhuang Luoyan, you have to die!"
There was a shrill curse sound behind him, Zhuang Luoyan turned back to look at the dilapidated palace gate, and under the worried eyes of Tingzhu and Yunxi, a subtle smile suddenly appeared.
Zhuang Luoyan died because of the waste products in the harem, and she died of a high fever.
"Master, do you want to let Mr. Zhuang speak less?" Tingzhu asked.
"Forget it, she is also Ben Gong's sister, isn't she," Zhuang Luoyan sighed, "Go back to the palace, that's all."
When the peach blossoms were in full bloom in March, in Jingyang Palace, the queen twirled a black spot and smiled at the emperor sitting opposite her, "The emperor's chess skills are getting better and better, and the concubine is almost powerless."
"Why is Caifu so arrogant and humble," Feng Jin blocked Heizi's path with white words, "I remember when Caifu was young, Caifu played a good chess game, and I was far behind."
"The emperor has made progress over the years, but the concubine is still stagnant, so the concubine is no longer able to win the emperor." The smile on the queen's face faded a bit.
"People always have to make progress," Feng Jin glanced at the chessboard, Heizi had no chance of winning, and he looked back somewhat boringly, "If I don't make progress, wouldn't I still be like a child back then?"
The queen smiled, but her heart was bitter and unspeakable. Back then, when she was the crown princess, she was the only woman beside the emperor. Later, there were more and more women in the house, and the emperor came to her less and less time. Later, she The little princess was gone, and later she was pregnant and had a miscarriage. I don't know when, the emperor already had a group of charming concubines by his side.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the province in the palace is reporting that the noble Zhuang of Duanbenzhai has passed away." He Yu walked in and reported in a low voice.
"Zhuang Guiren?" Feng Jin didn't remember who it was for a while.
"Your Majesty, Zhuang Guiren is Zhao Xianrong's sister," said the queen, "Hua Chaojie was demoted to Duanbenzhai by you because of offending Zhao Xianrong."
Feng Jin nodded, "Since that's the case, let's bury it as usual."
