Holding the Piano in the Red Chamber

The immediate superiors have all left, and the few remaining people in the palace are living a very happy life.

First of all, you don't need to get up early to say hello, the weather in November, you don't want to come out of the bed, so don't say hello to me.On such a day, even rolling the sheets is not a good job.Although the emperor only goes to court for three days, if it is your turn to attend bedtime one night, then get up, you have to get up at three o'clock before dawn, and you have to serve breakfast after grooming. Brazier, but after all, it's already the twelfth lunar month, the outside is more than ten degrees below zero, and the house is no more comfortable than spring and autumn.

Even if you don't catch up with the early Asahi, do you dare to leave something like "Emperor stays overnight with his concubine, wakes up at nine o'clock in the morning" on the daily note, you have to wake up before seven o'clock, although someone gave Warm the quilt, and do some exercises that will warm up the whole body. Baoqin also gradually reduced the frequency of asking for yam and jujube cakes, from once every three days to once every five days. He also said: "The weather is so cold, and the cakes are also cold. Yes, change to steamed puff pastry."

After Ruicheng left for a few days, Baoqin didn't get up until nine o'clock every day, three meals became two, and a small pot was added at night, life was very comfortable.

But Ruicheng who was on the road was not so lucky.

It was true that he was riding in a royal chariot, but he was still cold, and his travels were kept simple, and he couldn't eat the cold yam jujube cake.It was even more because it was a funeral for the emperor, so she couldn't even sleep with Shulan at night, even if it was just for the two of them to snuggle together to keep warm.

Shulan was called to sleep together by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was old and afraid of the cold. In this world, only the Queen was left who could warm her bed.

When the Queen Mother left, she took Liangxue and Liangqian with her, and left the older Sister Yunrong in the palace.Baoqin went to see her every two days, and the two had lunch together.

Although I was eating with the Empress Dowager's mother in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, it is a blessing to be able to enter the Palace of Compassion and Peace every day. Concubines below the nobles in the palace can only see the Queen Mother twice a month, on the [-]th day of the lunar new year, and every five days for concubines and above Once, I just hold the piano, and I can go there almost every day.

Every few days, she would accompany Sister Yunrong to visit Zhenli.

This may be the Empress Dowager's second grandson, half of Liu Yunrong's mother is in the palace for this reason.

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager said, "If that child stayed, he would be able to write. You should watch carefully. This child must be kept."

Sister Yunrong also has lingering fears. Back then, Zhenli was innocent and lively, but as soon as the child fell, she became like this stuffy gourd, with blood all over the ground, alas...

"Zhenli's background is not good. If it's a boy, I'll keep it by my side; if it's a girl..." The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, "I'll promote her to her position and put her by her side."

What happened back then, the Empress Dowager originally planned not to keep Zhenli, but later she softened her heart, but after getting older, she hardly has the patience for children. Boy, the empress dowager felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

Baoqin and Sister Yunrong get along well, and Sister Yunrong looks exactly like Mrs. Zhao. Being with such a person is naturally comfortable and relaxed, and Sister Yunrong can also feel the sincere feelings. The relationship is quite good, and now it is heating up in a straight line.

It was harmonious here, but when they went to see Zhenli for the third time, that is, the emperor had been away for more than ten days, something was wrong.

With two dark circles under her eyes, Zhen Li yawned profusely, but remained silent and refused to speak.

what happened?It was fine earlier, but as long as you think about it a little, you will understand.

The only ones in the palace who could come to see her were Yuanchun and Qingmei, except for Baoqin and Sister Yunrong from the Empress Dowager's palace.

Under Yunrong's constant questioning, Zhenli finally spoke with her head down and tears.

It turned out that on the second day after the emperor left, the two of them came to see Zhenli together every afternoon. Zhenli's status was low, and she couldn't blatantly drive the two away, so she could only lie on the soft couch on one side with the excuse of being tired and sore. accompany.

But what the two of them said was not good.

"Now the youngest child in the palace is the late emperor's Ninth Prince, and he's not yet two years old."

"Li Gui, the previous emperor, gave birth to a child, and it is said that the blood of the whole room was shed."

"Oh my god, can you still live after shedding a whole room of blood?"

"You're stupid, aren't you? Li Guiren didn't even get through the first day, and he gave His Majesty's ninth younger brother a reputation as a Kemu."

It was replaced after two days.

"Oh, it's said that concubines and below are not allowed to raise children."

"That's right, after giving birth to a princess, you can't raise it by yourself."

"Even if the eldest princess is born?"

"It doesn't work if you give birth to the eldest son, bah bah bah, I said the wrong thing, sister Zhenli, don't take it to heart, I'm not talking about the son you lost earlier."

After a few days, Zhenli couldn't sleep.

Sister Yunrong immediately became angry when she heard that, "The masters are not here, how dare they..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the maid at the gate of the palace say: "Miss Concubine Dong and Concubine Jia are here to visit."

The room was filled immediately, Yuan Chun and Qing Mei were taken aback when they came in, and then said: "He concubine and mother are here too." After speaking, they turned to Zhenli's maid, "Put this away quickly, this It’s cotton cloth from my palace, just used to make small clothes.”

But that doesn't come naturally.

Sister Yunrong sat for a while, seeing that Yuanchun and Qingmei hardly said anything, they just smiled brightly and took Zhenli's hand. From the soup last night to today's lunch, she Immediately, most of Zhenli's words were believed.

"It's almost time for the two young masters to go back. The noble young master has a body, so he still needs to focus on recuperation." Sister Yunrong still had a bit of a posture with a straight face, especially with the Queen Mother standing behind her. Dafo, Qingmei and Yuanchun left almost immediately.

Sister Yunrong took the Baoqin all the way back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she didn't know what she was thinking on the way, and she didn't say a word.

Baoqin thought for a while, leaned into Yunrong's ear and said: "We have to find something for Concubine Dong and Concubine Jia to do, otherwise they will go there every two or three days, and it will take a month for the Empress Dowager to come back. It’s okay if something happens.”

Sister Yunrong agrees with this point of view, but she is at a loss as to how to find trouble for the two of them. Although there are two concubines in the palace, they are not allowed to enter the palace. This matter also involves the issue of the emperor's heirs. It's too late.

But seeing that Baoqin seemed to have an idea, Sister Yunrong asked curiously, and Baoqin leaned into her ear and said, Sister Yunrong said: "It's not good, it's too risky."

"It's okay, let them guess for themselves, I won't say anything."

Sister Yunrong nodded.

So the next day, Baoqin replaced the two maids in Yuanchun Palace.It wasn't the person under Yuan Chun's name who was replaced, but the maid who belonged to the Sixth Bureau in her palace and cleaned the palace for her.

In fact, this is also a fat vacancy. Baoqin has always only assigned this job to the poor maid at home, or has something to do with her palace. In short, the rewards in Yuanchun Palace for one month can catch up with those in other palaces for a year. Give a reward, everyone wants to go.Therefore, if Baoqin is cold, I will change two of them quietly for her. In the past, I will find some reason, such as making the little palace lady who has already swept the floor in Yuanchun Palace pretend to be sick, wrestling or something, Yuanchun is naturally dissatisfied. , What did you say that you are looking for me these crude benzene, how to do a good job.

Okay, then let's change, come and go, especially during the New Year and holidays, the people waiting to sweep the floor in Yuanchun Palace here at Baoqin will be lined up until next year's Dragon Boat Festival.

But this time it was different, the maid who had just been replaced did a good job, so Baoqin was replaced.Yuan Chun couldn't hold back, and came here in the afternoon.

Before entering the palace gate, Yuan Chun heard the sound of Baoqin spitting in the palace. Yuan Chun was startled, stopped for a moment, calmed down, and then went in again.

Baoqin was leaning on the couch, with a quilt on her body, and the maid next to her was holding a water basin, and Baoqin was wiping her mouth.

Yuan Chun looked around quickly, there was still a plate of pickled green plums on the table, and there was an unopened one, but the sour taste had already come out.

She has it?Yuan Chun's heart trembled, it's only been a few months!She has been in bed with the emperor for almost two years!

Baoqin looked at Yuanchun uneasy, and said: "I don't know what's wrong these two days, I always want to vomit, I have to eat something sour to suppress it." Turning around and yawning again, she told the maid, "Let them Serve a hot and sour pot, put more vinegar!"

This is likely to be true. Madam Wang also told her some early symptoms of pregnancy: such as eating sour or spicy food, nausea, laziness, and moodiness and unpredictable personality.

Yuan Chunban probed with a straight face: "The maids in my palace, why did you change your concubine for me?"

"Cough," Baoqin said with a smile, "I don't know why, when I saw the two of them on the road last time, I felt disgusted, so I sent them away. Jiabi won't blame me, I'm new The two of them were snatched from other palaces, and it is said that the floor was very clean."

Damn!This cliff has a body!Yuan Chun's heart felt sour, and he became angry when he saw Baoqin's triumphant appearance.He cursed her dark history in Jia's mansion from childhood to adulthood in his heart, but he said bluntly: "He concubine has a good rest, I will go to Dong concubine's palace to have a good time."

"In the evening, I ordered hot and sour hotpot, and someone gave you one too?" Baoqin said from behind.

Yuan Chun left without answering.

It didn't take long before it was time for dinner, Yuan Chun and Qing Mei looked at the one in front of them that exuded a strong smell of vinegar, and took a sip of the mutton pot with no other smell except sour, tears were about to flow out.

Jane's problem has not been solved yet, another one will be added!
