The concubine of Germany is as beautiful as a god [Qing wear]

The queen passed away, and the whole palace became busy. The emperor hadn't been to the harem for more than half a month.

Two days after the empress passed away, the emperor personally sent the Empress Zigong to the Hall of Martial Ying to be resettled, and went to mourn in front of the Zigong every day.

Ma Guan saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

The empress once said that although the emperor dotes on them, he will not really fall in love with anyone, because he is the emperor and the master of the entire Qing Dynasty.

But Ma Juan felt that the emperor loved the queen, otherwise he would not go out early and return late every day to accompany her in front of Zigong.

The queen has always longed for a life outside the palace, but she may not be happy in the palace. There is a man who is willing to do this after her death, and she can smile happily.

You know, this time is the decisive battle of the San Francisco Rebellion, and the emperor has abandoned political affairs to mourn the queen.

On March 25, the emperor personally sent the Queen's Palace to Gonghua City, and stayed for four or five days before returning to the palace.

After returning to the palace, he wrote an inscription for the queen's deceased father Ye Bilong and built a family temple to make up for the queen's regret.

It wasn't until the third month in the leap that the emperor summoned Ma Guan to attend the bed.Ma Quan was lying on the wide bed, the emperor just hugged her tightly, but did nothing else.

"emperor……"

"Don't move, let me give you a hug."

Kangxi buried his head in the hollow of her shoulder, his voice muffled.

Ma Juan sighed softly, she was no less sad than the emperor, in the last month or so, she and the empress became close friends who talked about everything, the empress told her many little secrets, these years may be really suffocating up.

"Hold this." After a long time, Kangxi let go of her, took something from his wrist, and put it into Ma Guan's hand.

It turned out to be the Buddha bead.

"The empress asked me to hand it over to you. She seems to care about you."

Ma Juan's eye circles turned red immediately. She begged from the Empress Dowager to keep the Empress safe, but she never expected it to return to her own hands.

The empress hopes that she will be safe in the future.

"The Empress is a good person, but it's a pity that I got to know her too late."

Kangxi put the beads on her wrist and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Gonghua City with you to offer incense to the queen."

"it is good."

Gonghua City is quite far from the Forbidden City, so Ma Guan and Kangxi set off early in the morning of the second day.

Since entering the palace, this is the second time she has left the palace, the last time was two years ago, and she only went to the streets of the capital.This time, it was to go further afield.

After leaving the palace, Ma Guan's mood improved a lot, it seemed that the air outside the palace was much fresher.

Kangxi saw that she swept away her sad face and smiled, and relaxed her mind: "The queen is right, you will be happy if you take you out of the palace."

"The empress told the emperor about this?" Ma Guan was surprised, did the empress do it for her benefit?

"I said it, it seems that the queen knows you better. What did you say to the queen in the last month or so? She actually defended you like that." Kangxi was curious, if the queen didn't have much contact with Ma Guan, That's the last time.

Ma Guan raised his eyebrows: "This is a secret between concubines and empresses, even the emperor can't inquire about it."

"I really spoiled you." Kangxi patted her forehead, but didn't ask any more questions.

He raised the corners of his lips, as if every time he was with Ma Guan, he would feel very happy.Perhaps it is because of this that the queen likes to talk to her.

When they arrived in Gonghua City, Kangxi took Ma Guan to the Queen's Zigong to offer incense, and Ma Guan discovered that the Zigong of Queen Hesheli also stopped here.

Her heart is heavy, the emperor's two married wives are here, how sad should he be?

"emperor."

"Often."

A court lady in sackcloth and filial piety handed over two sticks of incense, and Ma Guan took it, only to find out that it was Lian Qing, the eldest court lady next to the empress.

She did know that Lian Qing had come here, but she didn't know that she had been guarding in front of Zi Palace.

Before, she was thinking about finding an opportunity to tell the emperor to get Lian Qing to her side, but now is a good opportunity.

She nodded towards Lian Qing, Lian Qing's eyes were a little red and swollen, and she didn't know how many times she cried.

Ma Guan offered incense to the two queens, knelt down and kowtowed three more times, and muttered silently in her heart for a long time.

"You are pious." Kangxi laughed, but Ma Guan had never met Queen Hesheli at all.

Ma Guan said as a matter of course: "The concubines hope that the two empresses will protect the emperor's health, so of course they must be more pious."

Kangxi smiled and went to the side hall to rest.

Ma Yuan took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, my concubine would like to say a few words to Lian Qing."

Kangxi nodded slightly, agreeing.

"I don't know what orders Chang Zai has?" Lian Qing's attitude towards Ma Yuan was not bad, after all, in the last month or so, Ma Yuan went to visit the empress every few days.

As for the other concubines, it would be nice if they could go once in ten and a half months.

"How are you doing here?" Ma Guan pulled her to sit beside her.

"The servant girl is fine, Xie Chang is caring."

"I know that you have a deep affection for the empress, and the empress treats you the same way. The empress told me to take care of you in the future when she left. When the time comes, I will choose a good family for you to marry..."

"The servant does not marry, and the servant must guard the empress for the rest of her life." Lian Qing burst into tears suddenly, she did not expect that the empress would still miss her when she was dying.

Ma Juan sighed, and said, "Aren't you making the empress feel uneasy?"

"Slaves won't..."

"The empress said that you are the one who can't let go, Lian Qing, I hope you will not disappoint the empress's wishes."

Lian Qing cried even harder, she had served the Empress for ten years, and the Empress treated her like a sister.Now that the empress is gone, how can she abandon her to marry someone?

Ma Guan took her into his arms and said softly: "The empress wishes you happiness. She has never been able to leave the palace in her life, and she hopes that one day you can go out and help her see this wonderful river and mountain."

"Your maidservant will... woo... This servant will definitely..." Lian Qing sobbed endlessly, and her tears wet Ma Guan's shoulders.

After a long time, she raised her head in embarrassment, and said with a guilty expression: "Chang Zai, I'm sorry, this servant wet your clothes..."

"It's fine if you cry, don't hold it in your heart. Let's go, I will intercede with the emperor, and the emperor should agree." Ma Guan pulled her to stand up.

Lian Qing nodded, then kowtowed three times to Empress Niu Gulu's Zi Palace, "Empress Empress, this servant will help you realize your wish."

In the side hall, Kangxi was writing something, when he saw Ma Yuan coming, he asked her to sit first.

It took about a quarter of an hour before he put down the pen and paper and was taken out.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Kangxi shook his head when he saw Ma Guan hesitated to speak.

Ma Yuan said directly: "Your Majesty, I want Lianqing to go to my place. I know that there can only be two maids by my side, so I want to send Qiaoyun back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to take care of the emperor's grandmother."

Kangxi looked at her, and then at Lianqing, Lianqing was standing there with her head down, the tears still wet on her face.

"Is it the queen's order?"

"Yes." Maru replied.

"Then take it to you, and Qiaoyun will keep it for now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that it was wrong, if she continued to keep Qiao Yun, she might invite people to gossip.

How did she know that gossip about the harem had already spread.

After leaving the palace in the morning, Concubine An went to the imperial concubine's place, nominally to pay her respects, but actually to sow discord.

"Imperial concubine, that Wu Ya family is too proud of being favored, and actually asked the emperor to take her to Gonghua City to offer incense. Hmph, isn't this a deliberate show of courtesy, does it seem that we don't respect the empress as much as she does? I don't care. Darling, but you are different, imperial concubine, if the emperor has an opinion on you because of this, I'm afraid that in the future..."

"What do you want to say?" The imperial concubine glared at her displeased.

The imperial concubine could not fail to see such low-level provocations.

Concubine An smiled and said, "Young Concubine, I mean we can't let the Wu Ya clan be too arrogant. Now that the harem is in charge of the Imperial Concubine, wouldn't it be easy to clean up the Wu Ya clan?"

"Oh, why did I punish her? Concubine An, it was you who wanted to deal with her but couldn't deal with her, so you teased me?" The imperial concubine rolled her eyes. This concubine An has been restless and kind all day long. That, no idle time at all.

"Young Concubine, I admit that I have enmity with Wu Ya, but Wu Ya has also harmed Your Highness, she is our common enemy." Concubine An is also a bachelor, so she admitted it directly.

She knew that it would be difficult for her to deal with Ma Guan, so she wanted to ask the imperial concubine to help.At that time, even if the emperor finds out, there will still be noble concubines standing in front of her.

The noble concubine's face darkened: "You'd better swallow all these words! They are all sisters in the harem, what kind of enemy is not the enemy? Get out!"

An Bin was taken aback, how can you change your face when you change your face?The imperial concubine really doesn't hate Wu Yashi?

"Your Majesty's Concubine..."

"roll!"

An Pin was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly, got up and saluted, and left angrily.

"What is it that dares to use me?" The concubine spat and sneered.

It's just to take care of Wu Yashi, who does she need to join forces with?Now that the harem is hers, she doesn't believe that Wu Ya's family can turn the world upside down!

However, it is indeed a bad sign for the emperor to take Wu Yashi to Gonghua City today. The emperor probably loves Wu and transfers his attachment to the queen to Wu Yashi.Wu Yashi was already favored, if he got this affection again, it would be even more difficult to deal with.

It's time to find an opportunity to dampen Wu Ya's spirit and let her know who is in charge of this harem!

However, Ma Guan has always acted cautiously, and after bringing Lian Qing back, she still let Qiao Yun go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace temporarily, so as not to give anyone any chance to catch her.

She seldom went out, and recently she was copying Buddhist scriptures all day long before being sent to Gonghua City. The imperial concubine really couldn't find a chance to do it for a while.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. On this day, it was the imperial concubine's birthday. The imperial concubine invited all the concubines who were often in the harem to go to Chengqian Palace to celebrate. Ma Guan was invited and had to go there.

"Always here, why don't you just give this jade ruyi as a gift." Lian Qing has served the queen for many years, and has more experience in handling these matters than Sister Shuang.

After checking Ma Guan's inventory, she took a fancy to this jade ruyi at first sight.

The imperial concubine and Chang Zai are at odds, if the gift is too light, the other party may make trouble.

Ma Guan nodded and said, "Just give this."

This was bestowed on her by the Empress Dowager when she was in the Jin Dynasty.From the bottom of her heart, she was really unwilling to give such a good thing to the imperial concubine.

Lianqing put Yu Ruyi in a box, and put bright yellow silk cloth inside.

"Let's go, if you go late, the imperial concubine will take the opportunity to make trouble again." Ma Yuan straightened her clothes and took Lian Qing to Chengqian Palace.

It was still early, there was still an hour before the banquet, but when the two of Ma Guan arrived, several concubines had already arrived in Chengqian Palace.

Concubine An, Concubine Yi, Concubine Borzigit and several nobles and concubines have all arrived, but Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong have not come yet.

The imperial concubine wore a gorgeous red court dress today, she looked full of regalia, her petite and cute appearance in the past disappeared, and she was a little more domineering.

Ma Guan twitched the corners of her mouth, always feeling like a victorious rooster, and couldn't help showing off her feathers.

"I have seen the imperial concubine." Ma Guan stepped forward to salute and greet her, while Lian Qing stood behind her holding a gift box. "This is a small gift for the imperial concubine, I hope the empress will not dislike it."

Lian Qing opened the gift box, and a clean and elegant jade ruyi was immediately revealed, and there were several exclamations from the side.

The noble concubine glanced at Yu Ruyi, and a sneer flashed in her eyes: "Wu Yachang has a heart."

Xiuhe immediately stepped forward to take the box, and glanced at Lianqing arrogantly.

In the past, Lianqing relied on being the maid of honor by the empress's side, and always gave her a face, but now that the empress is gone, Lianqing can only follow by her side, ah, let's see how arrogant she will be in the future!

The ridicule in Xiuhe's heart almost burst out, but she still had the last laugh.

"It's as long as the empress likes it." Ma Guan's attitude was respectful, but not humble.

"Sit down." The imperial concubine smiled, her attitude was very kind, but it was hard for Concubine An and others to understand.

"Thank you, Concubine Gui." Ma Guan sat down in the last seat, she wanted to stay away from Concubine Gui.Lian Qing stood silently behind her, obediently staring at her toes.

"Wu Ya is always here. The maid behind you is Lian Qing? If my palace remembers correctly, Lian Qing was originally a person next to the empress, right?" The concubine stared at Lian Qing for some reason. It fell on Lianqing.

Ma Yuan said in a deep voice: "It is indeed Lianqing. Last time the emperor and I went to Gonghua City to offer incense to the empress, the emperor saw that Lianqing was pitiful, so he asked her to come to my side."

She didn't say that this was the queen's will, she directly carried it out to the emperor and gagged the noble concubine's mouth.

The imperial concubine was really deflated: "So that's what happened. The emperor just misses the past, even if it's just a maid beside the empress, he still takes care of it like this."

Concubine An saw the opportunity to provoke and said: "This Lianqing used to serve the empress after all, but now she serves a regular, isn't it a bit wronged? Your concubine, why don't you accept Lianqing?"

Lian Qing was startled, the imperial concubine and the empress do not get along so well, if she went to the imperial concubine's side, how could she live a good life?

It's just that the regular status is too low, so I'm afraid it's hard to refuse.

She suddenly felt a malevolent stare, and when she looked up, she found it was Xiuhe.

Lianqing was angry, if the empress was still there, how could Xiuhe be so presumptuous?

"The imperial concubine, what the empress Anpin said is also correct." At this moment, Ma Guan spoke.

Concubine An, Concubine An, and Lian Qing looked surprised, and Ma Yuan continued: "It's just that the emperor told me to take good care of Lian Qing. Without the emperor's order, I really dare not send her out. "

The faces of the noble concubine and concubine An froze, and this woman carried the emperor out again!

A warm current flowed through Lian Qing's heart, she never expected Chang Zai to be so bold, in order to save her, she refuted the face of the noble concubine and Concubine An.

She suddenly understood why the empress wanted Wu Ya to take care of her.

"Since the emperor has ordered you to take good care of Lianqing when Wu Ya is here." The imperial concubine pretended to be magnanimous and said, but hated her to the core.

As expected, the Wu Ya clan became more and more arrogant. Today is still her birthday when everyone disrespects her so much.

"Yes." Maru replied.

She knew that the imperial concubine would be unhappy, but there was no other way, she would never hand over Lian Qing.

She took a meaningful look at An Bin. This woman always finds trouble for her. Haven't you learned enough from the previous lessons?

While talking, another guest came, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong entered the door one after another, and also presented gifts to each other.

The noble concubine said with a smile: "Sisters haven't gathered together for a long time. Today, I came to celebrate my birthday. I am very happy. I don't hide my clumsiness. I will give everyone a taste of the birthday gift from the emperor. Xiuhe , bring it up."

"Yes, ma'am." Xiuhe got the order, and quickly brought out a plate of bright red things.

Most of the concubines have never seen it before, so they don't know what it is.

Ma Guan recognized it at a glance, it was a lychee, and it was a very fresh lychee!

This thing is sold truck by truck in later generations, and you can buy a catty for a few yuan, but it is a very precious fruit in this era.

The emperor gave the imperial concubine more than ten pieces at once, which shows that she still attaches great importance to her birthday.

"Ah, this can't be the legendary lychee, right?" An Pin suddenly exclaimed, surprise flashed away in her eyes, revealing deep envy and jealousy.

"Lychee? I've heard of it. It's said that it only grows in the south, but we don't have it here." Concubine Rong also showed surprise. She didn't expect the emperor to bring such a precious fruit to the noble concubine to celebrate her birthday.

The noble concubine saw everyone's surprise, and her vanity was immediately satisfied: "It is indeed a lychee. It was only delivered to the palace this morning, and the emperor immediately sent someone to bring it to the palace. All sisters are lucky today, and you can all get a taste .”

"Then thank you so much, the imperial concubine." Everyone beamed with joy, the imperial concubine is very generous.

Xiuhe took the tray and began to scatter lychees, first put two on the imperial concubine's plate, and then gave them out according to the status.

Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and the others all carefully took one, seeing the glowing red fruit, they couldn't put it down.

When it was delivered to Ma Guan, there was just the last one left, Ma Guan reached out to take it, Xiuhe suddenly raised the corners of her lips.

Just when Ma Guan's hand touched the lychee, the tray suddenly dropped from his hand.

"Ah..." Xiuhe yelled out in shock, and all of a sudden, everyone looked over and their hearts skipped a beat.

This is a congratulatory gift from the emperor to the imperial concubine, if it really falls, Wu Yachang will be in trouble!

Yipin was so shocked that her heart would jump out of her chest. She had known for a long time that the imperial concubine might attack Ma Guan, but she didn't expect to make a fuss about it.

It was too late to say it, but just as the tray was about to fall to the ground, Ma Guan kicked it lightly with his toes, and at the same time fished down with both hands, and instantly grabbed the tray in his hands.

The lychee remained motionless on the plate.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, why did Wu Yashi move so fast?

Ma Guan stared at Xiuhe meaningfully, decided to strike first, and said in a cold voice: "This is a gift from the emperor, Aunt Xiuhe is too careless. If it falls, can you afford it? You are deliberately disturbing the noble concubine. Is the empress's birthday banquet going to fail?!"
