[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu lost face in Changchun Palace. When they returned, they didn't hide the matter of Changchun Palace's ice at all, but signaled the maids and eunuchs to leave quietly.

They feel bad, and they want to make others feel bad.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, it was as if the Shanxi vinegar shop had been overturned in the harem. All the empresses in the palace felt uncomfortable, even the queen mother was not happy.

This does not worry about scarcity but inequality. They may not care about the ice, but they care about Qianlong's kindness.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel strange, and said to Zhou Yang, the eunuch who was serving her, in a tone of resentment, "It's not likely that the Long Live Lord sent any ice here at Ai's house, but he would just send it to Concubine Xian."

How could Zhou Yang answer this question? The Queen Mother can complain about the Long Live Lord because she is the Queen Mother and the mother of the Long Live Lord. He is a eunuch. After taking care of him, "Empress Dowager, this servant sees that the Long Live Lord is really filial to you. Yesterday, the Long Live Lord sent people to send a lot of tribute pears, saying that you like them. He didn't keep any of them. From this point of view, it is clear that Long Live The Lord values ​​you more."

The Empress Dowager's complexion slowed down, but she was still unwilling in the end, and said coldly: "You don't have to say good things to coax Ai's family, that concubine Xian obviously didn't take Ai's family seriously, and now that she can use ice, it is obviously because her illness has recovered Aijia, but she hasn't come to pay her respects to the Ai family. The Ai family sees that she is proud of being favored, and she doesn't take the Ai family seriously."

Zhou Yang was amused, what's the problem, he showed a flattering smile, and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, this is something that Concubine Xian did not do right, since this is the case, as the Empress Dowager, you should teach her the rules. .”

A gleam of satisfaction flashed across the Empress Dowager's eyes, and she glanced at Zhou Yang, "That's all, that's all, for the emperor's sake, the Ai family will talk too much, you go and make a trip, and let Concubine Xian resume her greetings tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhou Yang readily agreed.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea at all. As a slave, he should naturally solve his master's problems, not to mention that this time it was just to let Concubine Xian restore her peace. In his opinion, it was not a problem at all.

Zhou Yang thought of this and led the people there.

After Gu Qianqian learned of her intention, she was stunned for a moment, before responding with all her mouth, "It is our duty to pay respects to the empress dowager, father-in-law, don't worry, the Japanese Palace will definitely go to the Compassion Palace to pay respects tomorrow."

Zhou Yang was a little surprised at Gu Qianqian's good words, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said yes, thinking in his heart that Concubine Xian is acquainted, and if Concubine Xian refuses, he is actually not afraid. God, it was her fault that she made trouble in front of Long Live Lord.It's a pity that Concubine Xian agreed, and she agreed very readily.

"The Empress Dowager is very worried about you these days, and I will be very happy to see you, Empress Xian, tomorrow."

Gu Qianqian looked at Zhou Yang's sincere appearance, and the corners of her lips curled up, "This is really my honor, and I also miss the empress dowager very much these days."

After many days, Gu Qianqian went to pay her respects again, and Gu Qianqian's adjusted schedule was disrupted again.

Ever since she became pregnant, she has been very lethargic. She used to sleep for three or four hours a day, which was enough to rest, but now she feels sleepy if she doesn't sleep for five or six hours a day.

The cooked ginseng soup was brought over, and Gu Qianqian drank a few sips, using the ginseng soup to lift her spirits.

It was still dark outside, and the Forbidden City seemed to be a lot darker under the gray sky. Gu Qianqian closed her eyes slightly, letting Du Juan and others dress her up.

It didn't take long for Du Juan's soft call to wake up Gu Qianqian.

She opened her eyes, and the beauty in the bronze mirror also slowly opened her eyes. A pair of glass-like eyes slowly flowed, and the eyes were full of spring. The two months of quiet rest made her skin more fragile. It is really the face of flowers, the eyes of stars, the flesh of ice, the bones of jade, the black hair is silky and smooth like satin, combed into two heads, and there is a crabapple flower inserted in the hair on the temples. Not less than her appearance.

When Gu Qianqian came out, Ning Gui, who had been waiting for a long time, got up and saluted after hearing the sound, but when she looked back and saw her, her movements stopped, and her eyes clearly revealed a look of amazement.

"But it's been a long time?" Gu Qianqian asked Ning Gui with a smile.

Only then did Ning Gui come back to his senses, his tone trembling, his cheeks flushed, "I haven't waited long."

At this moment, she suddenly understood that smiling for Bomei, the king of Fenghuo playing with the princes was thinking, just for this smile, let alone Fenghuo playing with the princes, even if he gave her life, he was willing to give her life.

"Why is your face so red?" Gu Qianqian looked her up and down, saw that she was wearing thin clothes, and said to the two of Gu Le, "It's early and it's cold outside, and you didn't remind you nobles to wear an extra one."

Gu Le and the two hurriedly said: "Is it the servant girl? The servant girl will go get it now."

"That's unnecessary." Gu Qianqian waved her hand, turned around and said to Gui Zhi: "A few new cloaks were sent to the sewing room a few days ago, and one of the cloaks is ai green. The color you are wearing today is very matching, you go and get it."

Guizhi agreed to go.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Mrs. Ning Gui was overwhelmed by the flattery, and immediately wanted to refuse, "Slaves are not paid for nothing, so how can you ask for your mother's things?"

"What you said is that you are meeting with me." Gu Qianqian smiled and took her hand, and the two sat down together, "It's just a cloak, it's not worth much, what matters is that you wear it properly."

After a few words, Gui Zhi came over with a cloak.

The color of the cloak is pure moxa green, and the color is very beautiful. After Ning Gui put it on, she really felt a bit fragile and beautiful.

Even Gu Le and Lian Zhi couldn't help secretly admiring Concubine Xian's vision in their hearts.

If you want to say that the trend vane in the palace is none other than Concubine Xian, she dresses in many colors and has a lot of jewelry, but no matter how she dresses, she can make people feel amazing and make people feel bright.

I don't know how many concubines and maids in the palace secretly imitated her, but the same rouge-colored long dress was worn on Concubine Xian's body, it was called a lotus growing every step of the way, graceful and charming, but she was plain old-fashioned when worn on her body In seven or eight years, she looked like an old woman; when the gold jewelry was worn on her temples, she was gorgeous and dignified, but when worn on other people's heads, she became a nouveau riche.

This is simply unreasonable.

"Sure enough." Gu Qianqian nodded with satisfaction, and said to Ning Guiren: "It's almost time, we should go."

"Yes." Ning Gui replied shyly.

It wasn't too late for these two people to arrive at Yikun Palace, but when they arrived, they were all in vain.

Liu Mama had an expression of "sorry" and "bewildered", "Oh, what's going on? I didn't hear that Concubine Xian and Ning Guiren were coming to pay their respects yesterday. It is estimated that they have all arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, how can this be good?"

Ning Guiren's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked at Gu Qianqian. This was clearly intentional, and it was only this time to pay her respects in the past, but today it is so much earlier, Ning Guiren would not believe it if she didn't deliberately target them.

Lady Ning had seen such a trick when she was in the boudoir before. At that time, her Ama was demoted, and her official position was only a sixth-rank official. Such an official position might still have some weight outside, but she walked everywhere among the rich and powerful. In the capital where the second generation is as numerous as dogs, their family exists like ants.Once, she got a post from the servant of the household department, and went to enjoy the flowers, but after she came to the door, she found out that the flower viewing feast was in the morning. She came too late, and now everyone is about to leave.

At that time, apart from being angry, Ning Gui also felt it was ridiculous to use such a small trick to ridicule and torture people, thanks to that person who figured it out.

But unexpectedly, after entering the palace, Ning Guiren could see the same trick performed again.

"Mother..." Ning Guiren looked at Gu Qianqian with worried eyes.

Now the situation is in a dilemma. If they don’t go to pay their respects today, they will be arrogant. The queen mother and queen will not let them go. If they don't know; Jin, they have already delayed the time, and when they arrive at the Palace of Compassion and Peace, there must be trouble waiting for them.

Judging from the fact that Concubine Xian has been ill for a while and still has a wave of hatred, this matter is not so easy to settle today.

"Let's go, since we are late, let's go, don't make the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager wait for a long time." Different from Ning Guiren's entanglement, Gu Qianqian quickly made up her mind, "Let's go."

Guiren Ning glanced at Madam Liu hesitantly, and followed after hesitating again and again.

Nanny Liu sneered, and shook the handkerchief in her hand, as if she was dusting off something dirty.

The Compassionate Ning Palace, at this moment, is bustling with activity, and the concubines dressed up like flowers bring a vigorous and lively atmosphere to the Compassionate Ning Palace. Concubine Gao and Concubine Chun are both witty and witty, and the Empress Dowager is coaxed away by a few words. grinning.

Concubine Yu didn't speak, she drank her tea and looked out from time to time, as if she was expecting something.

Not long after, when she saw the maid at the door stop a familiar figure, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"This Palace is here to greet the Empress Dowager, Miss, what do you mean?" Gu Qianqian frowned, looking at the maid as if puzzled.

Speaking of which, it's not that enemies don't meet each other, the maid who stopped Gu Qianqian was none other than the little maid Ziyao who was very disrespectful to her in Changchun Palace earlier.

Zi Yao lowered her head and didn't look at Gu Qianqian, but her tone was very strong, "Your Majesty, without the permission of the Empress Dowager, you are not allowed to enter the Palace of Compassion and Peace, please wait here for a while, and the servant will go in and communicate. "

Gu Qianqian looked at her with deep eyes, and nodded slowly.

Only then did Zi Yao turn around and walk inside with small steps.

The noise she made with Gu Qianqian has already attracted everyone's attention, so now that she walks in, everyone seems to ignore her, but the corner of her eye is always on her.

"Empress Dowager," Zi Yao bowed her knees before His Royal Highness and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was talking to Concubine Gao, but was interrupted by someone, I don't know if it was because of this matter or other reasons, in short, her expression was not very good, she asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"

"Concubine Xian and Noble Ning came to greet the Empress Dowager, and are waiting outside now." Zi Yao replied.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked out, and when she saw Gu Qianqian and Ning Guiren, a malicious smile crossed the corner of her lips, "How long has it been? Is the spectrum bigger than the queen?"

No one answered this, and everyone was silent, waiting to finish the good show.

"Empress Dowager, I think this is definitely not the meaning of Concubine Xian's concubine." Mammy Zhou suddenly spoke out for Gu Qianqian, attracting puzzled eyes from Concubine Chun and others.

"That's not what it means. Could it be that you look down on Ai's family and don't want to come to pay respects to Ai's family, that's why you delayed until now?" The Queen Mother asked with a sneer.

Concubine Chun and the others immediately understood that Nanny Zhou was here to intercede for Concubine Xian, she was clearly here to set fire to her.

"Here, the empress dowager..." Nanny Zhou did not dare to answer these words, but intentionally or unintentionally confirmed what the empress dowager said.

"I've been mourning for so many years, and I've never seen anyone so arrogant!" The queen mother slapped the table heavily, her calm face distorted and gloomy in an instant, "Since you don't know the rules, then kneel outside and stand up for the rules." , long memory, don't think that if you are spoiled by the Long Live God, you can be lawless and do whatever you want!"

Zi Yao opened her mouth, not knowing what to do.

Nanny Zhou glared at her immediately, and shouted, "You don't have to go!"

Then Zi Yao ran out in a panic, facing Gu Qianqian's calm but majestic eyes, she was a little flustered, but she still had the courage to offend Concubine Xian to death anyway, it's not too bad , "Concubine Xian, the Empress Dowager told you to kneel here."

Ning Guiren's face was pale, and she clenched the veil tightly in her hands. She looked straight at Gu Qianqian, her heart pounding, and the sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks and dripped into her eyes.

Du Juan and the others looked at Gu Qianqian with hesitation and worry. If they were in the past, they would not have worried that their mother would do it, but now their mother is hurt like an eyeball by the Long Live God. Maybe they can bear such grievances and humiliation?

In front of the concubines of the harem kneeling in the porch, this kind of humiliation is unbearable for even a little bit of heart, let alone their empresses?

Gu Qianqian remained calm and straightened her body.

Everyone in the hall had mocking expressions in their eyes, like wolves and tigers, waiting for Concubine Xian's reaction, whether they were kneeling or not, they could all see Concubine Xian's jokes.

"What? Don't kneel down yet? Don't you intend to listen to what Ai's family says now, Concubine Xian?" the queen mother sternly shouted.

"Concubine Xian, are you still kneeling?!" Zi Yao looked at Gu Qianqian straight and asked arrogantly.

There was a joyful emotion in her heart, even if it was the Concubine Xian who doted on the sixth palace, now, Concubine Xian still had to kneel down in front of her, this distorted joy made her face look extraordinarily ferocious .

Gu Qianqian glanced at her lightly, with sarcasm and disapproval in her eyes.

Ziyao was originally a stern person, she was almost frightened half of her soul when she was pierced by this look, but after she realized it, she blushed in embarrassment, why is Concubine Xian still so arrogant now?This is the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she represents the Empress Dowager. Concubine Xian contradicted her because she didn't want to give the Empress Dowager any face. Thinking of this, she didn't know where the courage came from, but she stretched out her hand and pressed Gu Qianqian's shoulder, fiercely Press down.

"Presumptuous!" Seeing this, Du Juan and the others changed their complexions. As soon as they yelled out, they saw Gu Qianqian's legs go limp, her eyes closed, and she was about to fall down.

Ning Guiren was right behind Gu Qianqian, and she reacted the fastest. Without saying a word, she stepped forward to support Gu Qianqian, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Looking at the pale Concubine Xian with her eyes closed tightly, Ning Gui was so anxious that her eyes turned red, and Du Juan, who ran over to support Gu Qianqian, also turned pale.

"I, I didn't do anything to her." Zi Yao was taken aback by the sudden situation, quickly let go of her hand, took a few steps back, and stared at Gu Qianqian with wide eyes.

"I fainted so easily, I'm afraid it's not an act?" Concubine Chun said lightly, "Why don't you ask someone to help Concubine Xian wake up with some water?"

If it was normal, the Queen Mother would still hesitate, but today, she set up this situation with the intention of revenge on Concubine Xian, and because Concubine Xian was extremely uncooperative, the anger in her heart had risen to her throat, so she did not Nodding without hesitation, "Go get some water."

When Du Juan saw the situation, he became anxious immediately. It was their mother who was ashamed when the water poured down.

When she was in a hurry, she felt her fingers being pulled.

Du Juan's heart suddenly moved, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment, guessing why their mother pretended to be dizzy when she was not ill. After all, she had served Gu Qianqian for more than two years, and she had a tacit understanding.

Seeing Zhou Yang walking over with the teacup, she suddenly shouted loudly: "You can't shower our empress, our empress is happy."

Du Juan's words successfully made Zhou Yang stop.

Everyone in the Compassion Ning Palace looked at her in disbelief in a moment of astonishment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Juan gave Zhao Sanqi a look and asked Zhao Sanqi to go to the Long Live Lord to complain.

Zhao Sanqi was also very courageous, before everyone could react, he turned around and ran away.
