[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

"After such an encounter today, the Empress Dowager will probably anger you." Back in the Changchun Palace, Gu Qianqian leaned in Qianlong's arms and said softly.

"It's not the first time the Empress Dowager has annoyed me," Qianlong said with a slight smile on his face, pulling the quilt over her, "You don't have to think so much, just rest at ease."

Gu Qianqian nodded slightly, watching Qianlong leave.

The risk I took today was a bit bigger, but the reward was amazing.

Du Juan came out of the tea room holding the medicine bowl, walked to the bedside, and said to Gu Qianqian, "Madam, the prescription just prescribed by Imperial Physician Sun, please get up and drink it while it's hot, and then rest."

Gu Qianqian hummed, watching Du Juan carefully holding the medicine bowl, stirring the soup spoon slowly in the medicine bowl, and asked suddenly: "Du Juan, did Doctor Sun leave?"

"Just left." Du Juan said, "It is said that the imperial medical department has something to do."

Gu Qianqian showed a thoughtful look, what could the Imperial Medical Office do? It seemed that Imperial Physician Sun was dissatisfied with her behavior. Gu Qianqian drank the medicine slowly, planning to find an opportunity to talk to Imperial Physician Sun.

"Bang!" The enamel glazed vase shattered on the ground.

The empress was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and her hands were trembling even more. She couldn't forget Qianlong's answer just now when she told that Concubine Xian was pregnant without telling everyone.

She thought that Concubine Xian had made up her own mind for this matter, and she was afraid that someone would harm her.

But I didn't expect that it was Lord Long Live who asked Concubine Xian to do this, and it was Lord Long Live who ordered Doctor Sun not to say anything about Concubine Xian's happiness.What does this mean? It means that Lord Long Live attaches great importance to Concubine Xian's baby.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Madam Liu quickly comforted her, "You are so angry and sad, you can't ruin your body because of Concubine Xian's anger, it's not worth it."

"How can I not be angry?" Everyone understands the truth, but how could the empress say that she swallowed this breath? Today, she was not only punished for the monthly regulations, but also punished for copying Buddhist scriptures and female commandments. The former is nothing more. , the latter literally slapped the queen in the face.

She has always cared about her virtuous reputation, and she is cautious in doing things, for fear of being caught by others and ruining her reputation.

Being punished as a female court today, the reputation of being virtuous in the past may become a joke in the eyes of outsiders.

"Concubine Xian is really very calculating." The queen gritted her teeth and said, "When the lingering sickness comes out, even this palace is coaxed into a circle."

"Your Majesty, I can't blame you. If Guizhi hadn't kept saying that Concubine Xian had a cold, with your care, how could you have been coaxed by Concubine Xian for so long?" Mammy Liu said.

If Gui Zhi heard it here, she would definitely slap Liu Mama on the face in anger, these words are clearly pushing all the faults on her.

But Guizhi is not here at this moment, and the queen is also angry in her heart, so she listened to the words in her heart, pulled her face down, and said to Liu Nanny: "Liu Nanny, what do you say?" Has Guizhi betrayed Bengong?"

Madam Liu was stunned: "Maybe, it's hard to say whether it's true or not. But the servant feels that Guizhi seems to be a little bit bigger. When I met the servant a few days ago, his attitude was very arrogant."

The empress frowned, her eyes gradually darkened, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and after a while, she suddenly said to Madam Liu: "In the next few days, find a time to find her, I want to see her. "

"No." Nanny Liu agreed.

Gui Zhi, Gui Zhi, you better not have betrayed me, otherwise I will teach you what it means to live without seeking death.

"Ah Choo." Guizhi sneezed while peeling the pine nuts.

The little maid next to her hurriedly protected the pine nuts in front of her with her hands, and said casually to Guizhi: "Sister Guizhi, don't catch the cold, it's cold these days, wear more clothes."

"Thank you for your concern." Guizhi said casually. She put the pine nuts into her mouth, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. After the news of Concubine Xian's pregnancy, the situation in the palace seemed calm, but in private it was Undercurrents surged.

A few days ago, Lord Long Live asked someone to repair a small kitchen in Changchun Palace. He said it was a small kitchen, but in fact, he could do anything, ranging from a banquet for the Han Dynasty to cakes and milk tea. He even ordered three royal chefs and several eunuchs to come over.

The meaning of this Long Live Lord is obvious. After the small kitchen is built, the concubine Xian will no longer have to go to the imperial dining room to deliver meals. If there is anything she wants to eat, let the people in the small kitchen make it. This is more appropriate and safer.

Where did the concubines in the palace get such treatment, and I don't know how many people were jealous for a while.

Especially Concubine Chun, this person is more annoying than others, and she is also pregnant. The benefits she gets are only some gold and silver dead things, and the real benefits have not been lost at all. In the past, she would definitely make a fuss, even if she didn't. , I also want to use this to say a few sour words in front of the Long Live Lord, so as to win benefits for myself, but now, how dare she do this, she has been fined and still keeps her tail honestly, isn't that courting death?

"Guizhi, Guizhi..." Bailing stood outside the threshold, lifted the curtain, glanced inside, saw Guizhi sitting by the window eating pine nuts, and shouted a few times.

Gui Zhi was immersed in her own thoughts, completely unable to react.

If the little maid hadn't pushed her, she might still be in a trance.

"Gui Zhi!" Bai Ling's voice was a little louder, Gui Zhi came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, stood up and looked at Bai Ling, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty wants to eat some grapes this morning, but we don't have any here. You can go to the Imperial Dining Room to see if there are any grapes in the Imperial Dining Room." Bai Ling said with a smile.

Guizhi was secretly displeased, but being a senior official overwhelmed people, not to mention that Bailing and Dujuan had different positions in the empress's heart, so she smiled and said "I'll go right away", then opened the curtain and walked out.

In the morning of mid-July, although it was still early, the sun had already come out and was shining brightly. Guizhi walked on the road unhappily. She was afraid of tanning her skin and was not afraid of wasting time, so she just chose places in the shade of narrow paths.

Just after walking out of an alley, she was about to reach the imperial dining room, but Madam Liu walked up to her.

Guizhi's heart tightened suddenly. She didn't even dare to step out of the gate of Changchun Palace these days because she was afraid of seeing Nanny Liu. Concubine Xian was ill before. She confirmed again and again that Concubine Xian was "really" sick.

But now it's okay, the real has become a fake, and the fake has become real.

How could the Empress and Nanny Liu let her go!

But the road to Yuanjia is narrow, the more you don't want to meet something, the more you will meet something.

Now that they are facing each other, it will be difficult to turn around and leave.

Gui Zhi squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Mother Liu."

"Yo, isn't this Miss Guizhi?" Madam Liu curled her lips and glanced at her eyes, even a fool could see that she didn't like Guizhi.

"Liu Nanny, where are you going?" Guizhi only showed a warm smile, not daring to confront Liu Nanny, now the situation is different, she naturally has to put her hot face on Liu Nanny's cold ass.

"I'm not going anywhere. Speaking of which, I came here for you. Since I met you halfway, please ask the girl to walk with me to meet the empress." Madam Liu smiled. Said.

Gui Zhi panicked, she ruined the empress's important affairs, and the empress would definitely not let her go easily when she met this time, "Nurse," she blurted out, "I have to go to the imperial dining room to help Concubine Xian get grapes, this time If I delay the time to meet the Empress, I'm afraid it will make Concubine Xian suspicious."

"It's just grapes, why are you panicking." Madam Liu came here for her this time, how could she let her go just because of her few words, rolled her eyes, and said contemptuously: "The empress also has grapes, It's the same when you take it with me,

Having said all this, Gui Zhi couldn't refuse anymore, she followed Mammy Liu to take a road that was not traveled by and returned to Yikun Palace.

After entering the Yikun Palace, the first thing Guizhi smelled was a faint scent of sandalwood in the air. She didn't dare to raise her head, and went to the place where the queen knelt to chant Buddha, and knelt down in front of the queen, "Slave Guizhi Greetings to the empress, the empress is blessed and safe."

The queen was chanting Buddhist scriptures, without opening her eyes, and ignoring her, until she finished reading a volume of scriptures, she stood up with Liu Mama's hand, her eyes were downcast, looking down at the kneeling Guizhi, "Gui Zhi, how does Ben Gong treat you?"

"The empress is very kind to slaves." Guizhi's hands were already covered with cold sweat, and his voice was trembling slightly.

"Since I have treated you very well, how can you repay your kindness with revenge?" The queen's tone was very calm, but the calmer she was, the more people could feel the turbulent waves beneath the calm.

"Your Majesty, this servant has no right to avenge you, and this servant really doesn't know that Concubine Xian is pregnant!" Guizhi quickly raised his head, speaking earnestly, "If this servant wants to know this, how can I hide it from you, Madam?"

"That's hard to say." The queen leaned down, gently stroking Guizhi's face with her thumb and other four fingers, and then suddenly, she pinched Guizhi's chin and met Guizhi's eyes, "Maybe you think Concubine Xian is more promising, so let's cast a dark pearl?"

Guizhi's back was already covered with cold sweat, her scalp was numb, and the sweat slid down her cheeks and dripped into her eyes, but she didn't even dare to blink.

"Your Majesty, you are the only one here, how could a slave and maidservant do something against the master!"

"Your Majesty, if you are not at ease, this servant is willing to die to show his will."

The corners of the empress's lips slowly curled up, she let go of the hand that was holding Gui Zhi's chin, where there were already red marks, she stood up, said with a smile: "Okay, I'm just joking, look at you If you are in such a hurry, it seems that this palace wants to do something to you, so get up."

Gui Zhi's soul was almost frightened away just now, after hearing this, he stood up weakly with both legs, and bowed his knees to salute, "Thank you, ma'am."

"Okay, I just asked you to ask a few words today, Nanny, you can take her out." The Queen waved her hand and said, Mammy Liu glanced at Guizhi, and Guizhi hurriedly followed, He didn't dare to leave an inch, took the grapes and left quickly, as if this Yikun Palace was some kind of hell on earth.

When Madam Liu came back, the queen was slowly wiping her fingers with a handkerchief, and when she wiped her fingers clean, she casually threw the handkerchief into the brazier, and the flames engulfed the handkerchief, and everything was reduced to ashes.

"Gui Zhi is fine, pay close attention to see if Concubine Xian becomes suspicious." The queen calmly ordered Liu Mama.

"promise."
