Remembrance Hibiscus GL

After the autumnal equinox, the empress had a cough, and the imperial physicians came and went to Yonghua Palace every day, and the concubines from all the palaces also came to say hello. At first, the empress managed to cope with it. After a few days, she was too lazy to see people. Just lie on the bed and rest.

Ranchun saw that the medicine was cooked, put it in a jade bowl and brought it to the bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine." , carefully delivered it to her lips, the queen leaned on the pillow, took only a few mouthfuls, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, Fang let out a long breath: "Okay, let's put it away."

Ranchun accompanied her with a smile and said: "The good medicine tastes bitter, the empress has to bear with it a little bit, and take the medicine according to the imperial doctor's instructions, so that the phoenix's body will heal quickly."

The queen closed her eyes and said, "Okay, so what?"

Ranchun put the bowl aside, and said with a smile: "The emperor has been busy for a few days, and he still misses the empress in his heart."

The corner of the queen's mouth twitched slightly: "Yes, he is thinking about me. He is afraid that I will have to take care of the affairs of the harem while I am ill. It will be too much trouble for me to let the imperial concubine temporarily take care of the affairs of the sixth palace."

Hearing what she said, Ranchun knelt down in front of the bed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, just relax, no matter what, Your Majesty is the master of the palace, and no one can surpass you."

"Relieve?" The queen slowly opened her eyes, and there was a gleam of sadness in her eyes: "How can I be relieved? The emperor's affection for me is getting weaker and weaker, and the number of times I have come to Yonghua Palace can be counted on my fingers. The harem One thorn has not been removed, one thorn is added again, one concubine Min is enough to make me upset, if Concubine Lian is born into the next prince..." At this point, she paused and continued: "However, the two of them combined can't compare to the one who made me jealous. Now that I think about it, I was too careless. I only thought that her family would never turn around, and that she really had nothing to do with the world. Who would have thought that she would ask the emperor to adopt the second prince, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to be a queen in the future."

Ran Chun said: "Why is your empress so pessimistic? So what if the imperial concubine adopted the second prince. The second prince's biological mother came from a humble background. The emperor has never loved this son very much. He definitely has no chance to be crowned prince."

"At this time, at that time, if you talk about the past, he naturally had no chance, but now he has become the adopted son of the imperial concubine, and his status is different. The emperor has always respected and loved the imperial concubine, and this love for the house and the black heart will not be pushed to the end. Going to the second prince? What's more, as soon as Huo Mu arrived in the western border, there was a good news, if the Tuyuhun rebellion can be quelled in one fell swoop, tell me, besides this empress crown, what else can the emperor give to reward his daughter?"

Ran Chun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty is of noble birth, and she is a person who has followed the Emperor since the mansion. After all, the Emperor always has to remember some old feelings. What's more, there is Mr. Wen in the court. He is a member of the cabinet. The head of the palace is also the uncle of the empress, and he will definitely do his best to protect the position of the empress in the palace."

Before the empress could answer, a court lady told her, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li is asking to see you outside."

The queen thought for a while, then said softly, "Tell her to come in."

After a while, Concubine Li had already arrived at her bedroom, and blessed her in front of the bed: "Greetings to Empress Empress."

"Get up, Ranchun, sit down."

Concubine Li was in a hurry, and before she could sit down, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can the power to govern the six palaces fall into the hands of the imperial concubine, you have to get well soon."

The queen glanced at her: "What's wrong with you?"

Concubine Li looked quite angry: "Concubine Lian received the most blood swallows that Annan paid tribute this year, and all of them are of the highest class. The imperial concubine is partial to this."

"Concubine Lian is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, so it's not too much to share. If you want it, I have it in my palace, so you can take some." The queen frowned slightly, and said slowly: "You came here in a hurry, Just to tell me this?"

Concubine Li couldn't help being a little embarrassed, while taking the tea handed over by the little palace maid, she said: "Of course not, I'm just anxious to see that my mother has lost power due to illness." She stopped talking.The queen understood and nodded to Ranchun, Ranchun took the waiters down and closed the door behind her back.

Concubine Li saw that there were only the two of them left in the bedroom, so she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although it is inconvenient for the Emperor to summon Concubine Lian recently, but after a day or two, he will go to Xiefang Palace, which is enough to see Concubine Lian. How important is the dragon fetus that I am pregnant with, if I give birth to a prince in the future, I am afraid that the momentum will be even stronger than that of Concubine Min back then."

The empress said indifferently: "Concubine Lian is pregnant and can't go to bed, you should take this opportunity to seize the emperor's heart."

Concubine Li blushed, and the circles of her eyes also turned red: "That servant Zhao Chengen, in order to please the emperor, brought twelve beauties from several states below into the palace. Talk about what grabs his heart."

After finishing speaking, she began to sob softly, the empress was annoyed by her illness, and her tone was already impatient: "What's the use of crying? You and I are from the same clan. You were selected into the palace that day, you were favored by the emperor, and you stole Concubine Min's limelight. I also think that although I have not given birth to an heir, but you are still young and beautiful, so I try my best to promote you and hope that you will win glory for the family, is that all you can do?"

Concubine Li suppressed her tears, took out a handkerchief to wipe her face dry, and said suddenly: "Mother, that child, should we just sit and watch her give birth?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" The queen snorted softly, and changed her tone: "This is a serious crime of ransacking the house and destroying the family."

"Last time, the emperor clearly knew that it was Concubine Min who harmed Lady Mei's child, and clearly caught the real culprit, and even covered it up for her. It's not a big deal."

"That's for looking at the face of the First Prince, and also for the face of Concubine Min's family. Murdering the heir is a capital crime. If she is punished, what will the First Prince do?" The queen said flatly: "Besides, do you think the emperor is Is it really all right? Since that incident, how many times has he summoned Concubine Min Min? Even summoning the eldest prince is less than before."

Concubine Li remained silent, the queen said: "You just said that if Concubine Lian gave birth to a prince, she would overwhelm Concubine Min in momentum, so let Concubine Min worry about this matter, we just stand by and watch."

"After what happened last time, will Concubine Min still dare to make a move? Although her child is the biggest threat to Concubine Min, if her mother is more valuable than her son, wouldn't we even have no place to stand?"

The queen said: "It seems that you came to me and you have some ideas in your mind."

Concubine Li smiled triumphantly, and lowered her voice: "I just have an idea, and I came here to discuss it with the empress."

Things in the harem are inherently cumbersome, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, there will be a grand moon sacrifice ceremony in the palace, and there will be awards of melons, fruits, and moon cakes everywhere. The imperial concubine is temporarily in the sixth palace, so it is naturally not as leisurely as before. Fortunately, she said There are not many, but they are extremely sharp in handling things. Usually, with a few words, the subordinates will understand the essentials and handle everything in an orderly manner.

This day, as usual, I was dealing with affairs in the main hall of Qingquan Palace. At the end of the day, Qinzhu couldn't help crying inwardly. When he looked at the imperial concubine, he saw her sitting on the throne, with dignified features and a calm expression, without any hint of impatience.It was so easy to wait until it was time to light the lamps, and the people from the imperial dining room came to ask whether to set up dinner, and the day's affairs were not over.

After the meal, Sang Rong saw that nothing was wrong, so she went up and reported to Xiefang Palace to reward the blood swallow, and said: "Little Master Lian has a poor appetite recently and vomited badly. Doctor Li said that the young master is upset and depressed. But don't understand why."

"These imperial physicians have already reported to me that the dragon fetus is safe."

Sang Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My lord is really thinking about your mother, so she dragged your slaves and asked her about her diet and daily life, saying that she wanted to see her."

The imperial concubine looked at the book in her hand for a long time, then Fang said: "I see, you can go down."

"Yes." Sang Rong agreed and had to back down.

The imperial concubine put the book aside, let out a sigh of relief, and ordered: "The Chinese herbal medicine that Taiyi Li presented last time is placed in the incense burner, and the scent is fragrant and elegant, and it can really calm the mind."

Qin Zhu hurriedly said: "I'll change this servant girl now."

The imperial concubine nodded and stopped talking. Someone came back from outside: "Your Majesty, Gao Xian is waiting to be summoned."

"Let him come in." The imperial concubine said to Qin Zhu, "You guys go out."

Although Qinzhu was surprised, he still bent his knees and replied: "Yes."

The candles were brightly lit in the room, but it was quiet, Gao Xian knelt down on his knees: "The servant has seen the empress."

The imperial concubine sat cross-legged on the kang, facing him: "Get up and answer."

"Yes."

Gao Xian stood up, but still bent his body: "Your Majesty asked the servant to inquire about it, and the servant has already inquired about it."

"Ok?"

"The emperor has indeed quietly summoned the Taoist priest named Li Xuanzhen into the palace, together with several apprentices of Li Xuanzhen, they were secretly placed in Baoren Palace, and they worked day and night to refine alchemy for the emperor, but what they refined was not just the medicine of immortality, but rather..."

Although he hesitated when he spoke, the imperial concubine already understood that although there are many concubines in the harem, those who are favored by the emperor are only those few. All the favors are not as good as before. This time, Yanzhou and Bingzhou presented twelve beauties. The emperor always likes the new and dislikes the old. It is a bit powerless to sing and sing with new beauties every night. Naturally, he has to rely on the power of elixir.

The imperial concubine remained calm and took a sip of tea: "Before the Longevity Festival, the beauties from Korea who paid tribute will also come to Beijing, you must hurry up and arrange for Cui Niang to enter the palace."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Cui Niang has already settled down in a secret place in the capital. When the time is right, the slave will arrange for him to enter the palace." Gao Xian said in a low voice: "At that time, all the beauties who will present to the emperor, You have to go through her body."

The imperial concubine flipped the tea cover and said casually: "It took a lot of trouble for them to find her, right?"

Gao Xiandao: "Now the general holds great power, if you want to find someone, even if she hides in the remotest corners of the world, it will be easy."

The imperial concubine raised her eyes and said, "Are you sure no one else will know her origin?"

"Except for the empress and servants, the only ones who know that she is an old person in the Runan Palace are the dead."

"That's good. King Runan was the younger brother of the late emperor. He died of lust and lust before he was 40 years old. The people in his mansion are all ominous people. They should definitely not stay in this world."

Gao Xian said in a low voice: "Yes, from now on, there will only be Cui Niang in this world, and there will be no Mei Ji."

The imperial concubine hummed lightly, and Gao Xian laughed again: "Cui Niang has experienced a lot of love, and is proficient in intercourse. Those beauties who have been taught by her will definitely fascinate the emperor..."

Speaking of this, seeing the imperial concubine's eyes looking at him, I couldn't help but feel a chill, hurriedly restrained my face, knelt down and said repeatedly: "No servant speaks without words, you deserve death!" After saying that, he bowed left and right, "Pa Slap" and slapped himself a few times.

"Stop." The imperial concubine's expression was very relaxed: "I will not blame you for a small matter, and you must not speak so vulgarly in the future."

"Yes." Gao Xian's cheeks were already red and swollen, and he was relieved after hearing this: "Thank you, Madam, for your forgiveness."

"You have worked hard this time, go down and rest."

"Yes, please rest early, my lady, the servant will leave."

Gao Xian kowtowed twice before exiting the dormitory respectfully.
