Chapter 23 Cold Pool Ruler

In the next half month, the Forbidden City returned to normal.The emperor went to Yikun Palace more frequently, but most of them just had meals with Concubine Hua and seldom stayed overnight.After dinner, when it was getting dark, the emperor most often went to Chuxiu Palace, Xianfu Palace and Suiyuxuan to rest.All of a sudden, the three nobles who had been in the palace for less than a year were immediately popular and loved, and the palace people below were often whispering, talking about which young master would win the golden branch and be the first to dream of a bear.

The emperor's likes and dislikes are so obvious, let alone Concubine Hua feel uncomfortable, even the empress is quite afraid of the newly formed triangle, and finally endured until the fifteenth day, the emperor will go to Jingren Palace to share the throne with the empress as usual, Ulanara Only now did Shi have time to speak, and what he said was nothing more than introducing the nobleman of Fucha who was far away in the Palace of Yanxi Palace.

Yinzhen understands what the empress means, the Fucha family has a prominent family background, and they are considered to be the leaders of the two batches of beautiful women who entered the palace last year.He had been favored by the emperor early on, and now it was really inappropriate to leave it aside, so he gave the empress a little favor, and also recruited the Fucha family to serve him twice in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

This morning, when the concubines of Jingren Palace greeted the queen, Concubine Hua sneered and said, "It's a pity for the nobleman Fucha. Back then, when Chuxiu Palace was avoiding illness, he walked faster than anyone else. Now this Yanxi Palace is not Is it too far away from the emperor, no wonder the emperor is too lazy to run there."

Although the Fucha family was arrogant, but after all, they were born as ladies, and they dared not speak up when faced with concubine Hua's face-to-face ridicule, so they could only wring their veils and pursed their lips into a dry smile. Yinhu was drinking tea from a teacup, and without realizing it, the resentment and jealousy in his heart increased.

Seeing that Chu Xiugong didn't intend to intervene in the conversation at all, Concubine Hua glanced at Cao Guiren with her phoenix eyes, and Cao Qinmo immediately responded with a smile, and said with a smile, "The nobleman Fucha has a delicate body, of course it is better to avoid illness." You have to live farther away, if everyone falls ill, the emperor will feel sorry for you. It’s a blessing for the nobles, and now the huge Chuxiu Palace is spacious and bright.”

When Cao Guiren said this, not only did Fucha's face turn red, but he also successfully dragged Yinhu into the battle.

Yinhu put down the teacup slowly, forgiving that he is definitely not the type to sit and wait for death, put on a light smile, and smiled slightly at Cao Qinmo, "Cao Guiren's words are wrong, this huge palace is only occupied by concubines and concubines. , It's really a headache. The concubines are young and low-ranking, and they don't know how to manage the daily life in the palace. Fortunately, there are palace people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are all capable and quick, and they have only gotten on track in the past two days."

Needless to say, more than half of the slaves sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are some of the deep-rooted eyeliners here. Yinhu's young, ignorant and grateful look is not to mention reassuring in the eyes of the Queen and Concubine Hua .Even Concubine Qi couldn't help showing a smug expression, Li Shi didn't know why she was laughing at the shallowness and credulity of this young nobleman in her heart.

After hearing this, Cao Guiren nodded and smiled with Yinhu, but it was not her purpose to elicit these words, so she continued, "There are many rules in the palace. My sister is young after all. If you have anything to say, just talk to your sisters, so as not to worry about it." Like the days before, after all, not every time the Empress Dowager Concubine Hua would plead for her younger sister in front of the Empress Dowager."

It is not a secret in the harem that Concubine Hua interceded for a nobleman in Shoukang Palace, and Yinhu had naturally heard about it long ago.Yinhu knew that Concubine Hua was trying to curry favor with the emperor, so today it seems that she has the intention of wooing her.After all, the empress has Zhen Huan on the left and Shen Meizhuang on the right, and the Fucha family also relies on Jingren Palace for a bit.In contrast, the concubine Hua is not there, and only Concubine Cao is there to drive her, so she is a little lonely.Pointing out this matter in front of all the concubines at this moment is nothing more than letting everyone know that Concubine Hua and Chuxiu Palace are now on the sidelines.

Yinhu's heart is as clear as a mirror, and he has absolutely no reason to refuse in the current situation. The queen over there has shown displeasure towards Chuxiu Palace, if he insults Concubine Hua's face again, it will be very bad.So he got up and bowed down to the queen, and then solemnly thanked the concubine Hua, then sat down again and said nothing else.

Not to mention that Yinhu knew it in his heart, even smart people like the empress and Zhen Huan could see that Cao Guiren was deliberately trying to trap the honest and noble person in the concubine Hua's school.Only Concubine Qi and Concubine Li showed sneering expressions.

It can be said that Yinhu is not familiar with the matter of forming a party, and he thought to himself: Master has no help in this harem in this life, it is better to follow the example of the fourth brother, and do not interfere with the two factions of the queen and the concubine Hua, and strive for more points As time goes by, a trend is secretly formed, and the plan is over.

After this day's farewell, Yikun Palace came to invite Yinhu over one after another.Yinhu knew in his heart that Nian Gengyao had already entered the capital. At this time, General Nian was the one who made the first contribution to pacifying the war in Qinghai, and in the next six months, Nian's clan was about to climb to the top, and then plummeted.Nian Shilan's prospects are only in the past two years, so Yinhu only accepted two or three times out of the five or six grand invitations, which made it difficult for those who are interested to understand.

Due to the opportunity of the Empress Dowager, Yinhu often used the excuse of worshiping the Buddha behind closed doors, and seldom stepped out of the palace gate, only pretending to be indifferent and peaceful.

But everyone in the harem thought it was weird, don't look at Wan Gui who accompanied him every day at the two ends of the Yuxuan and the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but counting, the emperor stayed in the Chuxiu Palace quite a few times, it's just that the nobles lived in secluded places and rarely left. Very inconspicuous.

Lixia had just passed, and at noon on this day, Fang Ruo saw Biyun holding the clothes that the master had just changed and was about to wash them, so he stopped Biyun and asked, "Master's monthly letter has arrived?"

Biyun stretched out his clothes and pants, then nodded as if feeling a bit lost, and said, "Well, it's here, isn't it?"

Fang Ruo and Bi Yun's eyes dimmed a bit at the same time, but Fang Ruo raised his spirits very quickly and asked, "Did you drink all the recuperating prescriptions prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu on time?"

Bi Yun was puzzled, looked up at Fang Ruo and said, "Didn't Auntie personally watch Master drink every day? Could there be any mistakes?"

Fang Ruo thought to himself: That's true, the master's body is getting better day by day, even his face is rounded, but why doesn't his stomach move.Thinking of this, Fang Ruo's eyes turned cold, she glanced at Biyun who was immature, then put on a smiling face again, and asked her to send her clothes to be washed quickly.And he went into the bedroom to look at the master who had already had a lunch break, and winked at Biyue who was beside him on the bed, and the two quietly retreated to the verandah to talk.

Just after Zhengyang had tilted by two minutes in the afternoon, Yinhu had already woken up, lying on the bed with her belly in her arms.Seeing that the sun outside was already scorching hot in summer, but Yinhu felt like a piece of ice was in his belly, and the cold and stuffy pain gripped his whole body like a cold spring.No matter how much brown sugar ginger soup Biyue sent, it didn't work.

It was also this unprecedented woman's pain that caused Yinhu to lose a little of her former agility. After being called away by Fang Ruo, Biyue's face was flushed and her eyes were slightly swollen.But Yinhu didn't pay attention to look at her, just hugged Mrs. Tang and waited for hours.

Before dinner, Biyun brought someone in.The person who came was the maid of the Qiao family in front of Concubine Hua, named Songzhi.

Song Zhi stood still outside the Ming Room, watching Lian Gui leaning on the bed sickly from a distance, thinking that this young master's body is really useless, but there was a smile on his face, and he said deftly, "Mr. Lian is auspicious. There are more than a dozen koi from the East newly raised in the fish pond in the imperial garden. The concubine Hua thought the color was very beautiful. She specially set up dinner at the Wanchun Pavilion and asked her servants to invite Liangui to accompany her. Go enjoy it."

Yinhu was displeased when she heard it, but Concubine Hua was holding such a big banquet in the imperial garden this time. If she didn't go, it would be bad for the queen mother and the emperor to think that she was proud of being favored by her father. It is the state of rejuvenation that Nianshi has his elder brother's shade at that time.

So Yinhu got up from the bed and said, "Thank you for making this trip, please go back and tell Concubine Hua that the concubine has cleaned up and will go to Wanchun Pavilion to pay her respects."

After hearing this, Song Zhi thought to himself that this noble man is easy to talk, why those people who came to invite them a few days ago were all sent back, it can be seen that those servants are incompetent.So she said yes with a sweet smile, and left Chuxiu Palace.

Fang Ruo and Biyun hurried over to wash up their master, and when they were done, they poured soup on Yinhu.Seeing Yaoyao, Yinhu nodded and said, "Don't take it with you. It's a hot day, and no one thinks I'm pretending to be sick to take Joe."

Fang Ruo had no choice but to order Biyue to put the soup away, but he still brought a small bowl of brown sugar and ginger soup, "Master, let's drink a cup before leaving. This soup is good for warming up, and the amount is small. Take one more sip and it will last you a couple of minutes." What time is it?"

Yinhu took Fang Ruo's hand and drank the soup in one gulp, then dragged his stiff body to the Imperial Garden supported by Fang Ruo and Bi Yun.

Arriving in front of Wan Chunting, Yinhu saw that besides herself, Li Concubine and Cao Guiren were accompanying her, not wanting to include Shen Guiren from Xianfu Palace.Yinhu stayed behind closed doors, but Fang Ruo was well-informed, so he naturally kept the outside situation in his heart.In the past few days, apart from frequently inviting Mrs. Lian over for a sit-down, Yikun Palace often called Mrs. Shen to copy the account books.

When Yinhu went to Concubine Hua, she was treated kindly by Concubine Hua, and she didn't see Nianshi doing anything out of the ordinary, just talking and drinking tea, wasting a long day of boredom.But Mrs. Shen is in a difficult situation. With the backing of the empress before and the acquiescence of the emperor, he has almost become a good seedling for the sixth palace, and suddenly became the most annoying thorn in front of Concubine Hua, so he often rectifies it. Zhong copied an hour's account books in Yikun Palace.

Three days ago, when Fang Ruo said that when Shen Guiren advised the empress to reduce the regular dishes by half, Yinhu had already expected that she would have today.Although Shen Guiren quite understands the emperor's virtues of diligence and thrift, he doesn't understand the worldly affairs and human relations.The emperor's support is nothing more than a word, and he will not take the trivial matters of the harem to heart.The empress is even more like a leopard waiting for an opportunity, or a tiger lying in wait. It is wise to push the boat with the current in front of the emperor, and she is just waiting for the snipe and clam to fight for the fisherman's profit.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the banquet, Concubine Li pulled her scarf and rolled her eyes, screaming hotly. Concubine Hua leaned on the soft chair and didn't stop her. Looking at the excitement in front of her, Yinhu knew that she was going to make trouble.

Cao Guiren hurriedly got up and fanned Concubine Li, comfortingly said, "Look at Concubine Li's head sweating, unfortunately, the mung bean soup for today's order has already been used, and there is no more leftover for now, Madam can only bear with it." , it’s natural to be calm, isn’t it?”

Concubine Li rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said in a bad tone, "This midsummer has not arrived yet, and I don't know how to live in another ten and a half months. The heat is nothing to worry about, but I'm afraid that someone would like the emperor to hide from his sisters in this mess." They are far away."

Concubine Hua saw that she had finished speaking, and pointed to a cup of iced mung bean soup on the table, "Songzhi, quickly give this to Concubine Li from my palace, they are all my sisters, I really can't bear it Seeing her suffering like this."

Song Zhi took the soup cup and whispered softly in Concubine Hua's ear, "Your Majesty only has this cup left." Although the voice was soft, the four young masters in the Wanchun Pavilion listened carefully.

Concubine Hua rolled her phoenix eyes and spat, "You girl, how much is a bowl of mung bean soup worth?" After speaking, she raised her eyes to look at the silent noblemen and noblemen Shen, and put on a kind smile. Said, "I made my sisters laugh. This girl came from a small family, and she was spoiled at home. She didn't think of the Forbidden City. I have never seen the style of the Tian family. I love to care about the details."

Song Zhi bowed her head to accept the crime, and said in a soft voice, "My servant is short-sighted, I have never seen anything in the world, please calm down."

Concubine Hua waved her hand, but didn't bother to say anything.A few people at the table watched Songzhi bring the soup cup to Concubine Li, Concubine Li first leaned down in the direction of Concubine Hua, then glared at Guiren Shen with her almond eyes and said, "Concubine Hua has been in the palace since she entered the palace. Entrusted by the emperor, she holds the position of assistant manager of the Six Palaces, and she is most sympathetic to the sisters, no wonder the emperor always praises the frankness and sincerity of the empress, who is an example."

Shen Meizhuang naturally understands that all the words you come and I are pointing directly at herself, Concubine Hua and Concubine Li are insinuating, her identity is there, there is no words to distinguish, but even Song Zhi's slaves are insinuating that she is short-sighted It was embarrassing to see the world.

As for Yinhu, who was sitting with Shen Guiren, the blood in his brain was fluctuating at the moment, he felt his temples throbbing, and he thought that a bowl of mung bean soup could make these ladies tear up such words, and the backyard affairs are trivial Complicated compared to the killing decisions of the previous dynasty, don't have a lot of hard work.

Concubine Li ran out of Mrs. Shen with a gun and a club, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that Mr. Lian was silent and seemed to be alone, so she felt angry.First of all, she didn't understand why Concubine Hua fell in love with this sick Xi Shi.Secondly, who in the palace does not admire the favorite of the red pepper Fangfeng soup.Therefore, Concubine Li snorted and said with a strange yin and yang air, "Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted, helping people and helping them, but she is not grateful. It seems that some people are just a stone that can't be warmed."

As soon as Concubine Li's words came out, Cao Guiren instantly closed his eyes, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and stopped talking.But Concubine Hua turned a blind eye, Nian said in her heart that she is not here to deal with the Guerjia family today, what did Li Pin sing about it.

Yinhu didn't have the three obediences and four virtues that Shen Meizhuang had learned since he was a child. If he was in good health, he might just kick him over, but at this moment he had to be supported even when he got up.

The torture on his body made Yinhu very angry at this time, and he blurted out, "It is said that the emperor loves dogs the most. The previous one, the new Jingba, kept barking in the middle of the night, and it disappeared today. But that Only Baifu knows that the emperor is quiet, obedient and obedient, and knows when to speak out and when to keep quiet. The concubine heard that the concubine Hua has been helping the emperor find new dogs, so she seems to be quite experienced in raising dogs. "

The image of the two pet dogs barking and one quiet is in front of them, pointing directly at Concubine Li and Concubine Cao, Concubine Li almost stood up from the table, but fortunately Concubine Cao stopped her.Concubine Hua's phoenix eyes widened when she heard the words, and she stared straight at Yinhu. Although she was usually arrogant and domineering, she never saw anyone who dared to bring the dogleg matter to the table.Shen Meizhuang tilted her head slightly, although she was startled, she relieved her anger, covered the corners of her mouth, and glanced at Yinhu with some concern.

Seeing Nian Shi being stunned, Yinhu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of a piece of chestnut cake in front of him, then smiled softly and said, "The small kitchen of Yikun Palace is really good craftsmanship. The dim sum that is not eye-catching is made so soft and dense, today is a blessing for my concubine."

Concubine Hua coughed lightly, and felt that although the Guarjia family in front of her still had a coquettish and sickly face, her bright black eyes were not as bright as ordinary women.Concubine Hua originally valued the favor of the noble and the weak, and thought it would be easier to control, but she didn't expect that this person's bones might be harder than Zhen Chen's.But at this moment, Nian Shilan hated Concubine Li even more for talking about bad things. Originally, she favored Chuxiu Palace and trampled on Xianfu Palace.If even Liangui and Zhen Chen were in the same heart and hugged the queen's thigh together, would the emperor pay more attention to others in the harem?

Therefore, Concubine Hua turned from her usual arrogance, and smiled even more grandly, "My sister likes it, so use more. The emperor whispers in my ears every day that my sister is weak, and I feel distressed when I hear it. This is not a koi sent by the Orientals." Just after entering the water, Bengong thought that this Xiashang Ming carp would be effortless and enjoyable, and it would be the most suitable for taking my sister to see it."

Yinhu nodded yes, although he was sitting in the lower seat, he seemed to be the host of the table for a while, coming and going with Concubine Hua, drinking a glass of rice wine, and only then felt a little relieved in his stomach.

Concubine Hua's attitude was so clear, even if there were 1 unconvinced Concubine Li, she didn't dare to make another mistake. This dinner was delayed for an hour.Afterwards, they changed to fresh seasonal fruits, drank two cups of tea, and fed a few handfuls of fish food before Concubine Hua got up to leave.Before leaving, he gave the red bean cold cake and mint powder cake on the table to Lian Guiren and Shen Guiren respectively, saying that the cakes would be easy to melt when exposed to heat, so he ordered their personal servants to send them back to the palace and submerge them in cold water.

Cao Guiren watched Concubine Hua go away, picked up the fish and food basket and said with a smile, "There is a pond of koi at the Chengrui Pavilion, why don't we sisters also go and have a look."

Concubine Li nodded when she heard the words, and started to leave. She has the highest status at this time, so she naturally feels that everyone should follow her orders.

However, if Yinhu was dismissed, he would know that the Concubine Hua's faction still had something to say, and the target was Shenmeizhuang, and keeping him, an outsider, was just to act as a witness or a scapegoat. He looked at Biyun Station again He was not by his side outside the pavilion, and felt that it was not safe enough, so he bluntly said that he was not feeling well and wanted to resign.

Concubine Li was taken aback, feeling that she was underestimated by the new Guarjia family, new hatred and old hatred suddenly filled her heart, she suddenly took a step forward and took Yinhu's wrist, and said harshly, "My sister is weak, there is My sister just supports it."

Yinhu saw her sneaky face like a nightmare, but it was too late to back away, Lipin grabbed her elbow and pulled her violently, and she fell to the side of the pool unsteadily.Yinhu had a bad heart, and couldn't believe that Concubine Li would act like this in public, but at the moment when he completely lost his focus, Concubine Li let go of his hand instantly, and Yinhu fell into the fish pond with no help.

Even at the beginning of summer, the water in the pool is cold and cold.Concubines always wear complicated and complicated headgear, and Yinhu's body suddenly sank into the cold pool.

Cao Guiren and Shen Guiren were already stunned on the spot, only Biyun rushed to the edge of the pool and cried for his master.Biyun yelled hoarsely, and Shen Meizhuang regained his composure, and hurriedly called the eunuch to go down to save people.

Although most of those eunuchs belonged to Concubine Li, they didn't dare to refuse face to face, so they hurriedly plopped down into the pool.

Seeing that Mr. Lian Gui was rescued after he had lost his roof, his eyes were blue and white, and his breath was already bad.Biyun threw herself on her master and pressed her chest, causing chaos in the imperial garden.
