Although His Majesty the Emperor didn't know this court lady, he still recognized who Yu Xiurong was. Hearing the little maid's cry, His Majesty the Emperor frowned even more.
"Yu Xiurong fell into the water?"
The maid nodded quickly.
"Then why hasn't she rushed ashore?"
"..."
The water in the pool is so shallow, you can climb ashore without help, right
His Majesty the Emperor didn't bother to talk to these jealous women who kept making small moves, but since they had already bumped into each other, it was hard to avoid them. He simply walked up the corridor and came to Concubine Mi's side.
As soon as Concubine Mi saw the emperor, most of her arrogance and domineering energy disappeared, and she became meek and docile. I don't know how the emperor coaxes people on weekdays, but she didn't blame the emperor for the two incidents last time, and she still has affection for the emperor.
It was as if the rainstorm had stopped suddenly, and the sky was sunny. She bowed politely, and then stared straight at the emperor with a pair of big and bright eyes, which made the emperor's mood inexplicably better.
"Aifei is here to watch the fish?" The emperor gave a low laugh, stretched out his hand to pull up Concubine Mi, and gently stroked her hand.
Concubine Mi became gentle and blinked: "Yes, Your Majesty does not accompany concubines to enjoy fish, so concubines can only come here by themselves."
The two showed their affection as if no one was around, completely ignoring Yu Xiurong who was still standing in the pond next to him.
Yu Xiurong was in a state of embarrassment at the moment, the white jade-colored palace robe on her body was stained with the mud and sand at the bottom of the pool, and it had already become dirty and unreadable. Her hair was wet and messy against her skin. On weekdays, I see You Lian's little face is full of grievances, but it's a pity that the man who usually comforts her tenderly is now being tender with other women.
Concubine Shen leisurely led her daughter over, and after visually measuring the distance, she stood still not far away.
This position is convenient for watching the show, and it is not easy to be implicated. For example, if Yu Xiurong became angry and started pouring water on the couple, it would not be possible to splash water on her.
Of course, Yu Xiurong didn't have the guts to throw insults at the emperor. In this whole palace, only the imperial concubine and empress would attack His Majesty the Emperor in a fit of anger.
Qingxi glared at Concubine Mi, pouted unhappily, turned her head and buried her head in Concubine Mu's arms.
Bad guy, father is with the bad guy again, hates father.
Concubine Shen patted her daughter's little head, thinking that it seemed that she had to teach Qingxi a lesson. Let her know that for a creature like the father, when you meet him, it is enough to pretend to be close to him. At other times, it's best not to care who he treats well, and don't have any extra expectations in your heart.
All in all, it's enough to treat the father as a coquettish object. Let the father think that his daughter is very close to him. As for what the daughter actually thinks, there is no need for the emperor to know...
Yu Xiurong didn't pay attention to the mother and daughter here, her heart was half broken. But she still refused to accept her fate, His Majesty must have not seen her!
So, she looked like she was about to cry, and looked at the emperor resentfully: "Your Majesty... For concubines, see Your Majesty..."
Only then did the emperor distract her a little attention: "Yu Xiurong?"
Yu Xiurong was overjoyed.
"Why don't you come up in the pool?"
Yu Xiurong quickly put on a look of "the concubine is wronged but the concubine doesn't say anything", bit her lip, shook her head again, and looked at Concubine Mi hesitantly.
"Concubine... Concubine..."
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that she was implying that it was Concubine Mi who got her into the water.
However, the emperor didn't ask how she fell into the water, so it wasn't like listening to her talking in circles, he just waved his hand and asked someone to pull her up.
"Yu Xiurong accidentally fell into the water, why didn't you help her up earlier?" The emperor's tone was displeased, "What if I catch a cold? How do you take care of the young master?!"
Yu Xiurong was helped up by the maids, hearing what the emperor said, she felt even happier. It's not easy to send off Concubine Mi, so should I send off the maid next to Concubine Mi
She concealed the pride in her eyes, and slowly raised her head, only to see the maid serving beside her plopped down on her knees, and began to confess her sins.
It turned out that the emperor was reprimanding her for not taking good care of Yu Xiurong.
No matter how Yu Xiurong fell into the water, it was indeed wrong for this personal maid not to get him up quickly. But she herself was also very helpless, there were a lot of people around Concubine Mi staring at her, so she would not let her help them.
Yu Xiurong looked at the heartless emperor in disbelief.
Obviously she was bullied by Concubine Mi, how innocent are the maids around her! Can't Your Majesty see it? How could he shield Concubine Mi!
Concubine Mi glanced at her complacently. With this woman alone, you still want to fight with her
"Your Majesty." Concubine Mi smiled provocatively, and deliberately told the emperor the truth, "Sister Xiurong was pushed down by the concubine."
Yu Xiurong doesn't know, so, what is Concubine Mi playing? Did she think that the emperor had indulged her to such an extent that even if she admitted that she did it, the emperor would not care
Yu Xiurong sneered in his heart, waiting for Concubine Mi to play off.
The next moment, she heard the emperor say inexplicably, "Oh? Why is Aifei like this?"
Concubine Mi suddenly looked lonely: "Your Majesty, in our Loulan, there are very few men who have three wives and four concubines. Concubines have envied the relationship of a couple for the rest of their lives since childhood, but concubines know that this is just a luxury in Dayan. Concubines do not ask Your Majesty. Guarding the concubine alone, but the concubine can't help being jealous. Hearing Yu Xiurong tell the concubine about the love between you and her, the concubine is jealous. Does your majesty hate such a stingy woman? But the concubine can't help it. live... ... "
The emperor was a little moved, and gently hugged her: "It's very good that Aifei is like this, I don't hate it."
After listening to the whole process, Yu Xiurong was dumbfounded.
Don't men like generous women? How can you say that you are jealous of others so openly
"Aifei is very real, she is different from others." His Majesty the Emperor praised, and took Concubine Mi to leave, "I have nothing to do today, and I miss the Loulan delicacy you cooked for me last time. Do more... ”
Concubine Shen: "..."
Scumbag! He ran away with his concubine again! Don't forget it, daughter!
Concubine Shen Gui snorted, and pulled her daughter to Yu Xiurong: "This man, when you dote on you, everything you do is right. When you hate you, it is a mistake for you to live."
"I don't want you to pretend to be kind." Yu Xiurong stared at her in embarrassment.
Concubine Shen rolled her eyes: "Who talked to you? Pretending to be affectionate."
As she said that, she looked down at Qingxi: "Remember? Men are unreliable. Look at this aunt. She is in such a miserable situation. Your father used to love her so much, but now he doesn't even bother to look at her. So you Remember, if any man tricks you with sweet words in the future, you will kick him."
Qingxi obediently nodded and wrote it down, and then asked, "Where did you kick it?"
"Kick here." Shen Guifei pointed to the little eunuch's navel three inches below.
The eunuch obviously didn't have that thing anymore, but at this moment he still felt a chill all over his body, and broke out in cold sweat.
The imperial concubine is too... How can I teach Her Royal Highness this!
"Qingxi remember it." Her Royal Highness said seriously, "In the future, if a boy says nice words to coax me, I will kick him here!"
Concubine Shen was satisfied: "A child can be taught."
Yu Xiurong: "..."
Back at the Jianjia Palace, Qingxi happily ran to find the adults to play with, and then hid in a rockery in the Jianjia Palace with the adults in her arms. It was her and the adults' secret base, and no one or the cat knew about it.
"My lord." Qingxi stroked his hair, "I heard my father lied today."
"Meow?" The lord lazily opened his eyes, and stretched out his paws to her face, as if to comfort her.
Qingxi rubbed its little paw: "Royal Father said that Concubine Mi is a real bad woman, she is different from others. He is lying! Concubine Mi is not real, she is just pretending, I hate her!"
The lord turned over, exposing his belly, and asked Qingxi to scratch it. There was a "meow" in his mouth, as if in agreement.
"My mother and concubine are the best." Qingxi snorted, "Why does Emperor Father like those bad women so much?"
No one could answer Qingxi's question, so Qingxi decided that his father might have eye problems, and even seriously discussed with the adults whether to persuade his father to see an imperial physician.
"His Royal Highness?" Someone called her in the distance.
Qingxi had no choice but to give up on the questions she hadn't finished thinking, and went out from another exit with her adult in her arms. Can't reveal her secret base!
"Your Highness Princess." Mammy looked at the little princess running over, and smiled slightly, "Qingfeng made some snacks, they won't taste good after a while."
Qingxi's eyes brightened: "Where is the concubine mother?"
"The princess is really filial, the imperial concubine is waiting for you there." The mother said happily.
Qingxi nodded as a matter of course.
Of course she is filial, the concubine mother said that she is the most obedient and most beautiful girl in the world.
She didn't know who Qingxi learned from and became thick-skinned. Mammy didn't know what the princess was thinking, so she took the little princess into the Nuan Pavilion and sent her to the imperial concubine.
"Mommy, go down first." Concubine Shen put down the teacup, "Everyone back down."
"Yes." The palace people retreated one after another, while Concubine Shen pulled her daughter to sit beside her.
She has to give her daughter a good lesson and get rid of some things that a princess should not expect. It doesn't matter what the father's concern is, the care of Qingxi's two mothers is enough.
Concubine Shen Gui is brainwashing her daughter here, while His Majesty the Emperor is flirting with Concubine Mi over there.
Men sometimes see too many women who pretend to be virtuous, and they also like those little women who can be petty and jealous. Not to mention Concubine Mi's aura of "political needs" at the moment, and her straightforward style of handling things, the emperor naturally wouldn't bother with her about pushing a low-ranking concubine into the water.
It's just a little fuss, it doesn't matter.
Yu Xiurong couldn't figure it out, she just felt that the emperor was really ruthless. It is said that Tian's family does not have long-term love, but she hopes that she can keep the emperor's heart.
Yu Xiurong sat desolately alone in the deserted room, staring blankly at the emptiness of the air, unable to gather strength to do anything. Next to her was a big court lady who was reprimanded by the emperor before. Although the emperor did not punish her, those people in the palace would not let her offend a lot of people when she was favored.
They can't attack Yu Xiurong, but they can deal with the maids around Yu Xiurong.
The eldest maid was taken away by concubine Shu's people, saying that the empress is busy with palace affairs recently, but this maid really has no rules, as one of the four concubines, she has to help the empress with things within her power. So someone took Yu Xiurong's big palace maid away to teach her how to behave.
Concubine Shu has hated Yu Xiurong for a long time, because Yu Xiurong is similar to her character, which makes Concubine Shu feel very disgusted. It was as if Yu Xiurong climbed to the throne by stepping on her name, she wished she could erase Yu Xiurong from the palace.
This time it was hard to find a name. Although Yu Xiurong couldn't be dealt with, it would be nice to be able to dispose of the big palace maid beside her.
When the grand lady was carried back the next day, she already had more air in and less air out.
"Little, little master..." Her face was pale, and even her lips were bloodless.
Yu Xiurong held her hand tightly: "What's wrong with you? Did Concubine Shu torture you?!"
She shook her head slowly, but couldn't speak.
The eunuch who brought her back sneered when she saw this: "Hey, young master Xiurong, can't talk nonsense? How dare my mother use lynching? It just made this woman kneel in the yard for a few more hours. It's also my fault. The palace maid didn't live up to her expectations, she looked as if she was going to die, but my mother saw the bad luck, so she was sent back. Young Master Xiu Rong, you can only teach her by yourself."
After all, the eunuch walked away without looking back.
Yu Xiurong hurriedly ordered the door to be closed, opened the maid's clothes and began to check. She didn't believe that Concubine Shu was just making people kneel, how could she kneel like this? Go to hell!
But from the beginning to the end of the inspection, she didn't find anything.
There have been a lot of picklings in the palace, and there are actually quite a few lynchings like the kind where no scars can be detected. It's a pity that Yu Xiurong doesn't understand these things, and he can't see the way.
It didn't take long for the grand lady to have a fever, which was very severe. The medical lady came to see and prescribed some medicine, but she told Yu Xiurong that the maid might not be able to make it through.
"Impossible! You lied to me!" Yu Xiurong drove the medical girl out angrily, "You must have been sent by Concubine Shu! No, you were sent by Concubine Mi, right?!"
The medical girl frowned, and said unlucky to herself, I'm afraid this little master is out of his mind, right
"What's the matter?" Yao Guiren, who lives in the side hall of Shengxiao Palace, happened to come to visit Yu Xiurong, and came across this scene, "Sister Yu, what are you?"
When Yu Xiurong saw her, he calmed down instantly. She can't beat Concubine Mi and Concubine Shu now, she shouldn't have said those words impulsively just now.
Yao Guiren immediately understood what was going on, she quickly gave the nurse a little bit of money, and said two good words: "Sister Yu is furious, don't take her words seriously, you have worked hard today."
The doctor's face looked better now, she was just a low-class female official, she could only treat some little palace ladies, even Yu Xiurong could not afford to offend her. Now that the other party took the initiative to give in, she simply accepted the money, pretended not to hear what she just said, said goodbye, and left with the medicine box.
"Sister Yu, you can't be impulsive." Yao Guiren hurriedly surrounded Yu Xiurong into the room, closed the door, and spoke to her in a low voice.
Since Yu Xiurong entered the palace, the two of them have formed a deep friendship. Last time when Yu Xiurong plotted against Concubine Mi and brought Concubine Mi back to the palace, she was the one who accompanied Yu Xiurong.
Yu Xiurong trusted her very much, and after listening to her words, she endured the grievance for two days and couldn't bear it anymore. His eyes were red and tears fell.
"Your Majesty is so heartless..."
She shared with Yao Guiren what she had experienced in Lilin that day.
Yao Guiren looked distressed: "Sister Yu, don't be sad, it's important to save Yinrui now."
As she said that, she took off a bracelet from her wrist. The silver bracelet was of poor quality, not heavy, and not worth much. She stuffed it into Yu Xiurong's hand: "You take it and hire some medical girls with good medical skills, and show Yinrui."
Yu Xiurong hurriedly returned the bracelet: "You are living a difficult life, and you still have to manage things up and down. How can I ask for your things? Don't worry, I still have a lot of things from His Majesty, which are enough."
At any rate, Yu Xiurong was favored before, and lived a much more comfortable life than Yao Guiren.
Yao Guiren's eyes flashed, and he smiled again: "Alright, then I will take it back first, sister Yu, please don't be polite to me."
Yinrui's condition was very serious, and her fever was getting worse and worse, even taking medicine was useless. In the middle of the night, the whole person was burnt out and talking nonsense. Yu Xiurong listened carefully, but only heard words such as "Yu", "Yu", and "Concubine Shu", and she didn't know what she wanted to say.
At dawn, Yinrui finally left.
In the middle of the night, no matter whether it was between the front palace and the rear palace, or between the east and west palaces, the gates of the palace were locked. Yu Xiurong took the silver and went there, but those people refused to open the door and let her go, she couldn't even invite a doctor girl.
Yu Xiurong hated her so much, if it was Concubine Shu's concubine Mi's concubine who fell ill this time, would these low-minded things dare to stop her
When Yao Guiren came to visit Yu Xiurong again, what he saw was her bloodshot eyes, eager to eat someone's flesh and blood. She was startled, and quickly said: "Sister Yu, you can't do stupid things!"
"I haven't." Yu Xiurong closed his eyes tiredly, "I won't."
Yao Guiren looked at her worriedly.
"Minxin, you don't know, when I close my eyes now, what I see is Yin Rui's high fever and talking nonsense last night." Yu Xiurong paused. "She kept repeating some words that I don't know what they mean. I think she must be trying to tell me something."
Yao Guiren frowned: "What did she say?"
"I can not hear you... ... "
Yu Xiurong frowned and tried to remember, imitating Yinrui's murmur and repeating.
"Rain?" Yao Guiren's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
Seeing this, Yu Xiurong asked puzzledly, "What do you know?"
"No." She shook her head, "I just suddenly thought of one thing, why Your Majesty is suddenly indifferent to you."
Yu Xiurong laughed at himself: "Why else? The emperor is ruthless..."
Yao Guiren came over and whispered, "I think there may be something hidden."
"What?" Yu Xiurong was taken aback.
"You think, you are still very favored in the palace, but why did Concubine Mi start to be favored as soon as you returned to the palace, but you fell out of favor?"
Why else, to appease Concubine Mi.
Yu Xiurong thought so in his heart, but Yao Guiren didn't think so.
"I think it was someone else who did something." She carefully analyzed it for Yu Xiurong.
It is impossible for Concubine Mi to start being favored for no reason, Yao Guiren and Yu Xiurong don't know anything about the political affairs of the previous dynasty, they can only focus on the harem.
They felt that someone helped Concubine Mi regain favor, and Concubine Mi took the opportunity to suppress Yu Xiurong. Why did the other party help Concubine Mi regain her favor? Maybe it was to win over Concubine Mi, or maybe it was to hurt Yu Xiurong, but Yao Guiren tended to have both.
"Concubine Mi is from the Western Regions, and her child has no chance of inheriting the throne, and her natal family is in the Western Regions, so they can't protect her. She is alone and helpless. If a high-ranking concubine wants to draw an alliance, it is natural to find her the best Insurance." Guiren Yao said clearly, "Now there are Consort De, Concubine Shu, Concubine Gui and Empress who are concubines and above, any of them is possible, but I think Concubine Gui is very suspicious."
Yu Xiurong was surprised: "Why?"
"When Concubine Mi dealt with you that day, the Concubine was there, and she didn't do anything, and let the Emperor and Concubine Mi go away. Don't you think it's strange? The princess and the noble concubine came out, but His Majesty and Concubine Mi left, but the Concubine did not express anything. If she is not an ally of Concubine Mi, why is she so generous? What's more, when Yinrui was talking nonsense, she also mentioned "Rain" '."
In Concubine Shen's boudoir name, there is a word for "rain".
"But, how could Yinrui know..." Yu Xiurong still felt something was wrong.
"Xu Concubine Shu told her." Yao Gui said, "Concubine Shu must have known this. She deliberately said these words to hurt Yinrui, and told her why you fell out of favor. But she didn't tell Yinrui the truth. The opportunity is really vicious."
If this is the case, Yinrui will die without peace. She clearly knows who harmed the young master, but she can't tell the young master the truth.
Yu Xiurong clenched his fists, believing in his heart: "This..."
Guiren Yao continued his efforts: "Sister Yu! I suddenly thought why the imperial concubine wanted to suppress you!"
"Why?"
"Your title is Yu, which sounds the same as rain. There has always been a saying of 'taboo' inside and outside the palace, that is, to avoid it with the name of the elder, otherwise it is disrespectful. I'm afraid the imperial concubine will hate that your title has the same pronunciation as her name. , I feel uncomfortable!"
There was a concubine in the previous dynasty, because the name had the same word as a high-ranking concubine, and the other party forced her to change her name.
Yu Xiurong paused, and the handkerchief fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth, with a sad and indignant expression: "Just because of a title? Concubine Shen Gui is too bullying!"
Shen couldn't change her title, so she simply suppressed her so that she couldn't stand out again, and she couldn't be seen. It must be because of this!
Sure enough, Concubine Shen Gui is still that small-bellied Concubine Shen Gui, she doesn't make sense at all!
Seeing that Yu Xiurong believed him, Yao Gui showed a smile, and quickly hid it again.
The author has something to say: Follow the plot, follow the plot=w=The story behind it has not been finished yet, I will tell you about Concubine Shu tomorrow
This time the conspiracy against Concubine Shen involves several concubines
