Regarding An Jieyu's death, the people in the palace didn't know if they were really indifferent, or if they thought of something but pretended not to know. Anyway, that's how things turned around.
Shen Yuqing knew that it was the emperor who did it on An Jieyu's side.
Throwing Fu Xiang to Yunxiang Palace on purpose is to let An Jieyu die under "great stimulation" in a logical way.
Such a concubine who knew too many secrets and had a wicked mind, it was impossible for the emperor to keep her. As long as An Jieyu lives for a day, her fake pregnancy may be exposed, but the matter of Concubine De cannot be reversed for the time being.
Moreover, she knew the true face of the emperor, and she knew that the emperor was also plotting against the concubines in the harem. If this incident were to break out, it would cause a great shock to the harem. Those women who deceive themselves are not easy to control once they recognize the truth.
Therefore, An Jieyu had to die.
She should also have a premonition that the emperor would not spare her life, but in fact, the emperor had manipulated her before she gave birth, wanting to kill her twice. But I don't know if it was her life, or she used some means to save her life. In short, she survived, dragging her dilapidated body.
But this time, she didn't escape.
Shen Yuqing dismissed the little eunuch who came up to report the news indifferently, without any fluctuation in her heart.
In fact, this group of women in the harem should have been enlightened since entering the palace. They either end up alone in a cold palace, or they are tortured to death by various means. There are very few who can become winners in life.
But they still chose to enter the palace, so no one else could be blamed.
People always have to pay the price for their own choices and ambitions.
"Sister Xiang concubine has just entered the palace, so she should send a gift." Shen Guifei said to Man Xing calmly, "You can go for me, and send some things that the little girl likes."
Man Xing understood: "Yes, Madam."
The so-called "send something that the little girl likes" means to send it as an "elder". Isn't her concubine the emperor's cousin? Then continue to be her cousin.
Miss Manxing chose some jewelry that the little girl liked, and excluded the calm and dignified ones, as if she was not going to give it to a concubine, but to a little girl who hadn't left the court yet.
The location of Yunxiang Palace and Jianjia Palace is opposite, one is in the east and the other is in the west. They used to pass through the Imperial Garden. Man Xing walked unhurriedly, and the empress hadn't delivered anything yet, so she didn't have to worry.
"Sister Man Xing, if we go this far, if we get ahead of the empress, wouldn't it be great?" Bi Yan asked worriedly, as if she was really a loyal and good court lady.
Man Xing glanced at her with a half-smile: "So what? The empress doesn't care about these things."
Bi Yan didn't dare to talk anymore, she only felt that Concubine Shen Gui was getting more and more rampant. I don't know whether it is due to the empress' empress being patient with her, or seeing the empress dowager slap the empress in the face, I feel that the empress is going to lose power.
But no matter what, this is a good thing for her and the master behind her.
Man Xing ignored Bi Yan, and now His Majesty's instructions to the two empresses are to pretend to be at odds, so it is natural for the imperial concubine to do something out of bounds occasionally. This time the gifts are given first and last, it depends on luck.
It doesn't matter whether Jianjia Palace comes first or later, Man Xing is not in a hurry at all.
Not long after, she arrived at Yunxiang Palace.
"Please wait, sister." A little eunuch stopped him, and the other ran in to report.
Man Xing was not in a hurry, and smiled and chatted with the eunuch, seemingly casually asking which other people from the palace sent congratulatory gifts.
The eunuch who can be sent to Yunxiang Palace will naturally not be a clever eunuch, and the emperor will not take care of this cousin. The other smart palace people in the palace were not stupid, they would not rashly tie themselves to Yunxiang Palace before they saw the situation clearly, so not many palace people came here with their connections.
Now Yunxiang Palace has not yet completed the establishment of palace personnel, and the number of eunuchs and court ladies is not enough for the position of concubines, and they have to wait for the empress to send them down.
The little eunuch easily told Man Xing the news: "Sister, you are the first one!"
The other ladies who were closer did not dare to act rashly, so they all waited for the empress to give them something before sending someone over to give gifts.
Man Xing's smile deepened, and he rewarded him with a few silver melon seeds.
The little eunuch smiled happily, and said nice things for free, until he saw the concubine coming with him from a distance, and then closed his mouth.
"So you are the star-studded girl next to the concubine's sister? You look so good-looking!" The concubine smiled with two small dimples, looking very sweet, "Come in, girl, I've been waiting for a long time."
Man Xing frowned slightly: "Why did the empress come out in person? The slave is just a servant, you are a slave."
That's what I said, but didn't the secret meaning mean that the concubine was petty and didn't understand the rules, and she lowered her status to get along with the servants
The concubine's smile stiffened slightly.
When she was living in Beijing some time ago, she participated in several small gatherings among noble girls. At those gatherings, because of the high status of the host family, their personal servants were all arrogant, and most of the ladies with lower status were curry favor.
Concubine Xiang couldn't accept it at first, she was so pretentious, how could she please others? But after being tossed secretly by those noble girls who felt offended, she didn't dare to take Joe, and when she saw those maids, she obediently lowered her posture and talked to them in an approachable manner.
After entering the palace, she didn't want to be tossed about for nothing, so she continued the previous style. How did she know that there was no such tradition in the palace
The concubine who miscalculated the strictness of the rules in the palace was embarrassed for a moment, and immediately turned to the innocent and simple character design.
She looked at Man Xing innocently: "So there are such rules in the palace! But I don't like to use my status to overwhelm people. Girl Man Xing, don't be too nervous, come in and sit down."
Man Xing smiled and thought to himself: Are you saying that my mother likes to use her status to oppress others? Okay, then crush you to death.
This concubine is really interesting, there is no such innocent little beauty in the palace, she is the first one. I'm afraid I planned to fuck such a character from the beginning, so I didn't care about the past to welcome her, Shen Guifei's dog leg, after all, the imperial concubine was the one who made her burn her hands.
"Miss, please sit down quickly." The concubine specially ordered someone to serve good tea, and said in a delicate tone, "The tea was specially brought by my cousin, and the girl must like it."
Putting it another way, Man Xing might think it was just a little girl showing off the good things she got. But when it was placed on the concubine Xiang, it was obvious that she was being favored so much that she wanted to make Shen Yuqing jealous.
Man Xing continued to smile, took a sip and said, "Junshan Silver Needle? I heard from my mother that she was tired of drinking Junshan Silver Needle in her boudoir. After entering the palace, His Majesty - sympathized with her, and took the imperial tea she drank. Give it to your wife to drink."
- His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to admit that these tea leaves were actually snatched by Shen Yuqing herself.
The concubine's smile could hardly be maintained anymore, she was showing off something that others would not want if they were tired of drinking. And from what Man Xing said, it seems that because Concubine Shen didn't love Junshan Yinzhen, the emperor didn't like this tea either, so the emperor basically took this tea and gave it to other people.
Now, isn't this "other person" the concubine
After choking the concubine, Man Xing was in a good mood and began to talk about serious business. She asked people to bring presents: "My mother doesn't have any good things there. Don't be disgusted by the concubines. They are all carefully selected by her. The mother said that little girls love these."
As he said that, he asked someone to bring up the box of jewelry in the gift and show it to the concubine.
The concubine wants to poke her to death, but she can't lose her image, she can only take it happily like a naive girl, and she has to praise her for being beautiful.
Then Man Xing said slowly: "Why are you being so polite, Your Majesty? The imperial concubine said that you are His Majesty's cousin, and naturally you are also my mother's cousin. She really loves you as a younger sister, so please don't let me out."
Sister you are tall! Who is your cousin!
The concubine almost couldn't control the expression on her face, and the jewelry in her hand seemed to weigh more than a thousand gold, and almost fell off.
"Sister Concubine has a heart..."
Hearing the few words that the concubine squeezed out between her teeth, Man Xing resigned knowingly. You're done, it's better not to continue to provoke this girl, lest the dog jump over the wall in a hurry.
After Man Xing left, Concubine Xiang knocked over the box of jewelry with a wave: "Shen! Sir!"
Shen Yuqing treated her like a girl who hadn't left the court. She was just a cousin who was "kindly taken in" by His Majesty the Emperor, and she was not favored by the Emperor at all. Every single word was stabbed in her heart, and she was going crazy with anger.
However, the emperor really didn't see any affection for her. He didn't even want to get close to her even after taking the medicine, so he just splashed tea on her coldly to wake her up. Later, she was put into the palace with the reason of "ruining her innocence", which was like a gentleman's act of necessity, not out of personal affection at all.
However, people in the harem are the best at poking people's hearts, and the concubines will soon feel the "care" of the seniors in the harem.
As soon as Man Xing left, Dong Xiao came back with the empress's reward.
Dong Xiao also looks safe outside, very good at bluffing people. She calmly repeated what the Empress Empress had said. Coincidentally, the Empress Empress also meant: "Empress Xiang, after all, you are the empress's cousin and your Majesty's cousin. My empress has always treated you as her own younger sister." Yes. This palace is no better than home, if you feel uncomfortable living in this palace, you can just tell your brothers and sisters, you don’t have to be polite.”
Xiang concubine: "..."
This doesn't mean that she is a younger sister, not even a rival in love! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
The concubine wanted to bite her, but Miss Dongxiao put down her things and left without giving her a chance to bite.
I don't know if the empress and Concubine Shen said similar things by coincidence, or if they discussed it, it's just irritating.
Today's Yunxiang Palace is a sieve full of loopholes, what happens here is quickly passed on to their masters by the palace people around them. Apart from the personal servant girl that she brought into the palace, there was not a single clean person around the concubine.
The concubines covered their mouths with laughter after hearing the news, secretly sighing that Concubine Shen Gui is still so choking. It's just that I didn't expect that the Empress Empress, who has always been aloof from the world, would take the initiative to beat up the concubine this time. It seems that the empress's bottom line has been stepped on by the concubine.
"Come here." Mrs. Shu put down her veil, straightened her clothes, "Choose some things that the little girl likes and send them to the concubine's sister, and let the concubine know what the sky is high and the earth is thick according to what the star in Jianjia Palace said. She's just a cousin, so don't take yourself seriously."
The grand lady quickly responded with a smile: "Yes."
As a result, the concubines of Yunxiang Palace welcomed another wave of gifts from various palaces that came long overdue. Some are rewards given by high-ranking concubines, and some are congratulatory gifts for low-ranking concubines. The low-ranking concubines did not dare to offend the Xiang concubines, but the high-ranking concubines spoke the same words, and all of them called Xiang concubines "cousins" and asked her to go to the "cousins" if she needed help.
The concubine, however, was not prone to seizures, and was so angry that she didn't even eat dinner.
In the evening, Shen Guifei told her daughter-in-law about this as a joke when she went to climb the bed.
"Bad guy." Empress Fu pinched her face, "You still have the nerve to laugh and bully a little girl."
The concubine Xiang is only fifteen years old, and has just reached the age of Ji.
Concubine Shen is shameless, she said righteously: "I am only eighteen!"
"You are nineteen." Empress Fu chuckled, "You are one year older after the new year."
"Nonsense, my birthday hasn't come yet." Her birthday is in April!
Originally, Miss Shen's family was in September, but last year there were a lot of things going on in September Palace, and border wars were also tossing, so there was no birthday. Only the palaces sent birthday gifts, so they should have celebrated it.
It's okay not to mention April, but Fu Qiushui narrowed his eyes when he mentioned it: "I remembered, you are the same age as me, and you were born more than two months earlier than me."
Eighteen is Miss Shen's age, Shen Yuqing is twenty-four, and her birthday is in April, and Fu Qiushui's birthday is at the end of June.
Shen Yuqing resisted weakly: "You don't count, the end of June is a fake birthday, you said it yourself, it's the day you entered Master Fu's house."
"But I can't remember the real birthday." Empress Fu said rather bachelorly, "Anyway, I am at the end of June, and you are older than me."
"..." All right, whatever my wife says is up to you.
Concubine Shen was cheeky, she immediately changed the subject, and threw her on the bed: "My birthday is nine days away, have you decided on a gift yet?"
Empress Fu smiled and said nothing: "You will know when the time comes." After she finished speaking, she added a sentence, blocking back what Shen Yuqing wanted to say, "You taught me this trick, you said the gift was notified in advance No surprises."
"You've learned badly." Concubine Shen Gui gnawed at her.
Empress Fu's eyes were slightly deep, she turned over and pressed her on the bed: "Really?"
Shen Guifei raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it?"
After the words fell, the bed curtain fell gently as the strong wind swept past, covering the situation on the bed.
— Pretending to have a car, attacking and accepting the choice, be nice.jpg —
The imperial concubine's birthday is on April 13th, but it's a pity that only the empress knows about this news. Therefore, He Gong and his family lived as usual on this day, and there was nothing special about it.
The only unrest in the palace was probably that the emperor visited her several times after the concubine entered the palace, but he never let her sleep with her.
The concubines ridiculed her face to face and behind her back, but although she was a little upset, she didn't go back and maintained the original cute sweetheart character, as if she couldn't understand those people's beating around the bush. But behind the scenes, when the emperor came to Yunxiang Palace to eat with her again, she showed a little depression.
Fu Yanjun pretended to be a warm man, and he still looked decent. Seeing this, he asked with concern: "What's wrong with Xiang'er? Who bullied you, tell your cousin, she will definitely seek justice for you .”
The first half of the sentence is still serious and warm, and the man's expression is revealed in the next second. Probably because he was impatient to deal with this woman, so he couldn't help stabbing.
The concubine's words suddenly choked up in her throat, and she told herself that her cousin was just too straightforward and didn't intend to provoke her. After comforting herself for a while, she successfully brainwashed herself, thinking that the emperor just didn't understand the struggle between women, and sincerely thought that the relationship between cousins should be close, and the queen's cousin would definitely take care of her.
As a result, Concubine Xiang's mood improved a lot, and she felt that her cousin was a gentleman even more.
She didn't want to cry first, and she heard that Mrs. Shu had this style, so she didn't want to run into anyone. So she had a lonely expression, like a little girl who didn't get her beloved candy.
She quietly grabbed her cousin's sleeve, her face was dark, and she looked at him pitifully: "Cousin, do you hate me?"
His Majesty the Emperor's heart trembled, and he was a little helpless. In fact, the concubine pretends to be pretty, but the emperor has long known her face behind her back, so she can't help thinking about it, and she is a little incapable of accepting it.
But the play still had to be sung, the corner of his mouth twitched, trying to maintain his caring cousin appearance, and asked gently: "Why do you say that? Xiang'er is so cute, how could my cousin hate you?"
"Really?" Concubine Xiang immediately became happy, but after a while, she pouted in annoyance, "But they all said that you don't want to touch me, because you must only treat me as your younger sister."
Put some eye drops on the concubines in a small way.
She moved closer to the emperor, lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and she could see the slight redness on her cheeks: "Cousin, Xiang'er adores cousin..."
The girls all said that it was for this sake, obviously they were asking for pets. His Majesty the Emperor was a little impatient, but he also knew that there would be such a day sooner or later. He closed his eyes and fell on the bed with his concubine in his arms: "Cousin knows."
After speaking, he glanced at Jin Li. The caring and all-round maid Jin Li immediately understood, blew out all the lights, and then quietly retreated out.
His Majesty the Emperor is not willing to look at the concubine's pretentious face, otherwise he will not be able to do it.
After a hasty toss, the emperor let go of the concubine, asked for water to take a bath, and fell asleep. Concubine Xiang was so satisfied that she didn't notice anything was wrong, she snuggled up to the emperor's side and fell asleep.
The next day, Concubine Xiang proudly went to pay her respects to the empress. It was hard for her to wait for bedtime, and she was finally able to show off to those women.
Then-
Girl Hanqiu told her apologetically: "My lady, my lady is not feeling well today, so there is no need to greet her, please go back."
Concubine: @#%&￥*$! ! !
No please, can't you send someone to Yunxiang Palace to say something in advance! As a result, she was tossed about last night, and she had to go for nothing this morning!
The other concubines smiled gloatingly, thinking that the empress must have done it on purpose.
They themselves don't care, they will be tossed about by the queen from time to time, and they are already used to it sadly, and they comfort themselves in their hearts, thinking that it is only exercise. But it was the first time for the concubine to do it, and she was so angry that her hair stood on end.
But after a while, she suddenly thought of something, and instead lost her temper. She said innocently and innocently: "Sister Queen is sick? You should have a good rest! Last night my cousin told me about Sister Queen, and asked me to ask her for help if I have any difficulties!"
In her opinion, the empress must have been "sick" by her sleeping in bed. That being the case, she doesn't have to be so angry, she is the one who has benefited from it, and the queen can only be angry.
She stabbed the queen in a happy mood, and then left happily.
The concubines who were watching the opera around them knew what she was thinking and shook their heads involuntarily.
The empress is mad? Come on, my mother-in-law is very good at nourishing her energy. Only a silly concubine like Xiang Bai would think so, after all, she didn't know that the empress often used the excuse of being "ill" to sleep in late.
Yes, sleep in.
The other concubines may not have noticed it at first, but after being tossed about so many times, how can they not understand why the empress feels unwell every now and then and doesn't need to ask for peace? I definitely think it's too much trouble to get up early every day, and I want to sleep in!
But the queen can sleep late, but the others can't. Those with high ranks had to come to pay their respects to the queen, while those with low ranks were required to get up earlier every day to pay their respects to the high-ranking concubines living around them.
Tossing alone is worse than tossing around, anyway, they can't sleep late, and they don't let those low-ranking concubines sleep late.
This has become a glorious tradition of the Dayan Palace.
The concubine should be thankful that she is the lord of the first palace, otherwise she would have to greet the main concubine every day, and then go to greet the empress with that concubine.
Han Qiu looked at the concubines who showed subtle smiles: "Every lady, please?"
The concubines, who felt at ease after the comparison, didn't care about being released again, and greeted happily and went back. Since you don't need to say hello, you can take the time to get back to sleep when you go back!
