[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

The next day, everyone went to Yikun Palace to pay their respects to the queen.

Gu Qianqian arrived at the same time as usual, and when she arrived, she saw Concubine Chun, Concubine Yu and Concubine Yi in the hall, her footsteps paused, her eyes swept over the chairs where Concubine Gao and the others usually sat.

Concubine Chun and others bowed to her.

Gu Qianqian sat down under Concubine Chun, with a smile on her face, and said: "Today is a bit strange, usually at this time, sisters and concubines have already arrived, why haven't they come today?"

Concubine Chun smiled perfunctorily, "I don't know about this either."

Gu Qianqian muttered in a low voice: "Really?"

She didn't say much, took a sip of the new tea brought by the maid, and waited slowly.

Not long after, the concubine Jia came. She came by herself. When Concubine Chun and others saw her, they all showed surprise and thoughtful expressions on their faces. After seeing each other, Concubine Chun laughed and joked: "Didn't Sister Jiabin always come here with the imperial concubine and Sister Yipin? Why did you come by yourself today?"

Concubine Jia pursed her lips, and said coldly: "Could it be that the concubine can't come by herself?"

Concubine Chun originally wanted to inquire about something, but she didn't expect Concubine Jia to be so hot-tempered, and she would be very choking when she opened her mouth.

There was a look of embarrassment on her face, "I didn't say that."

Gu Qianqian looked at it from the side and only thought it was funny. This is really a wicked person who has his own troubles. A concubine like Chun who likes to pretend to be kind and considerate, but when she meets a concubine with a hot temper, she is really born to be restrained.

"The imperial concubine, the concubine Yi is here." The voice of the little eunuch reported from outside.

Concubine Gao and Concubine Yi walked into the hall one after the other. Concubine Gao had a high status. Seeing her coming, everyone got up and bowed their knees to salute.

Concubine Gao's complexion was as usual, she paused for a moment when her eyes swept over the concubine Jia, and said nonchalantly, "Excuse me."

She sat down in front of Concubine Chun as usual, her expression indifferent.

Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine Jia with a guilty conscience. Logically speaking, Concubine Jia and Concubine Jia were in the Yonghe Palace together, so she should have come with Concubine Jia. However, Concubine Jia had an argument with Concubine Jia for some reason yesterday , This morning, Concubine Jia sent someone again to ask her if she would like to come together to pay her respects to the queen. No matter how stupid Yi Concubine was, she could tell that Concubine Jia wanted her to stand in line.

She only hesitated for a moment before rejecting Concubine Jia, her attitude was very clear, and she stood by the imperial concubine.

If it was before, Concubine Yi might have hesitated for a while when she stood in line, but now Concubine Jia is disliked by the Long Live Lord, and the concubine is just being favored. I will choose the imperial concubine's side.

However, the truth is like this, but it is a bit guilty to do it.

Concubine Yi is afraid to look at Concubine Jia now.

As soon as Concubine Gao arrived, the atmosphere in Yikun Palace became a little weird. Everyone's eyes fell on Concubine Gao and Concubine Jia in unison, wondering in their hearts, the reason for the quarrel between Concubine Gao and Concubine Jia yesterday?And are these two just arguing?Or do you want to break up?

This weird atmosphere was like the air on a deep winter morning, cold and breathless.

Fortunately, after a while, the empress came out, and after she had said a few words to Concubine Chun, she smiled and turned her head to Concubine Gao and said, "By the way, Sister Guifei, the Empress Dowager said in her letter yesterday that she would let my sister come to help me. Gong is busy, originally I thought so too, but my sister is pregnant now?"

She looked at the imperial concubine's lower abdomen and frowned, looking worried.

"The concubine is pregnant, but the concubine is sure to be able to handle the errands given to the concubine by the empress dowager." Concubine Gao pronounced the words empress dowager emphatically. An opportunity was provided, and Concubine Gao would never let go of such an opportunity.

"Really? If that's the case, then I can rest assured." The queen smiled, "I've been thinking of asking for help these days. Now that it's all over, I can be more relaxed."

Concubine Gao had a decent smile, "It's my honor to be able to help the empress."

Good luck bastard.

Gu Qianqian secretly cursed in her heart, and when she heard it from the side, she felt that the words of these two people were both sticks and sticks.

Gu Qianqian didn't believe that the queen would be so kind as to divide up the rights.

Today's greetings soon ended, the empress left Concubine Gao alone in Yikun Palace, saying that she wanted Concubine Gao to help with an errand, everyone looked at Concubine Gao enviously or jealously, but they all had to leave .

Out of Yikun Palace.

Gu Qianqian looked at the concubine Jia who left in a hurry, her eyes showed some deep meaning.

She looked back and saw Concubine Gao was walking behind the queen, she held her head up like a proud peacock.

Gu Qianqian shook her head slightly.

If she were Concubine Gao, she would rather miss this opportunity. The empress was afraid of her pregnancy, and she is still trying to share the right to manage the harem from the empress. There is no more for her.

After all, if Gu Qianqian were the queen, she would definitely not tolerate an ambitious concubine who was pregnant.

She doesn't have to do anything now, she just waits to see the empress and the noble concubine fight, no matter who wins or loses, in the end, she will definitely take advantage.

this afternoon.

Gu Qianqian already knew what kind of errand the empress asked Concubine Gao to do.

There are still one or two months before the fall, which means that the court ladies and eunuchs will have to make new clothes. The new clothes this time are not just the new clothes for the usual season, but also the new clothes for the Golden Festival .

This job is not difficult to do, as long as the eunuchs and maids re-measure the body, record them one by one and hand them over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It can be said that this errand can be done as long as you use your lips.

Gu Qianqian couldn't help sighing after hearing that the Empress Empress asked the concubine to do such an errand.

"Niang Niang, do you think this job is inappropriate?" Bai Ling asked suspiciously.

"It's not inappropriate, it's too appropriate." Gu Qianqian sighed and said, "The empress asked the concubine to do this. It's really hard to find fault."

The queen mother has already said in the letter to ask the imperial concubine to help.But the situation of the noble concubine is special now, she is pregnant with the dragon seed, and the month is too young, so she can't work hard, otherwise, if anything happens, the queen will have to be responsible.

And the queen chose the job of making new clothes for the palace servants to the noble concubine.

Firstly, the noble concubine helped me, secondly, the task was simple and would not tire the noble concubine, and thirdly, it was a beautiful job, the noble concubine could win people's hearts with a few words.

This matter was done so beautifully that even if the imperial concubine was dissatisfied, when it came to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother could only praise the Queen for handling the affairs properly and being considerate and magnanimous.

The queen is really difficult to deal with.

Gu Qianqian clicked her tongue and thought, fortunately, the person the queen has to deal with now is the imperial concubine.

As for her, the queen is jealous, but right now, the queen's attitude towards her should be to win her over, or at least turn a blind eye.

After all, even a blind person could see that a pregnant concubine was much more threatening than a favored but childless concubine.

Bai Ling looked at Gu Qianqian suspiciously, and she cast a look of help at Du Juan.

Du Juan pursed her lips and smiled, hinting with her eyes that she would explain to her later.

Only then did Bai Ling put away his doubts.

She made a cute appearance, didn't say much, and didn't ask much.

The errand of making new clothes was settled within three or two days. The palaces took turns to measure their stature. Concubine Gao was not in a hurry to tell the queen after finishing the errand. Instead, she told him about it when Qianlong came. "Long live Lord, how do you think the concubine is doing?"

"Of course you did well." Qianlong said with a smile.

Because the imperial concubine was pregnant, he felt a little more pity for the imperial concubine.

In the past few days, he would come to visit the noble concubine in his spare time, which made the palace people of Zhongcui Palace very proud.

"Since the concubine is doing well, can Lord Long Live give the concubine a small reward?" Concubine Gao said coquettishly.

"What reward?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows and asked.

Concubine Gao held Qianlong's arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "The concubine has a bad appetite for some reason recently, and she can't eat the dishes in the imperial dining room. She only thinks about the cooking skills of the chef at home. The concubine wants him to be in charge of the small kitchen." Cook some home-cooked food for my concubine, I wonder if the Long Live Lord will do it?"

"What's the matter." Qianlong laughed, "I'm sure, I'll ask you, Ama, to send the chef in later."

"Thank you Long Live." Concubine Gao said happily, with a brighter smile on her face.

She didn't want to eat home-cooked food, but because she was afraid that others would poison the dishes. Now Concubine Gao doesn't even trust the people in the small kitchen of Zhongcui Palace, she only trusts the people found for her at home.

"Gao Mansion has sent people in, and they have already entered Zhongcui Palace." Nanny Liu said in a low voice beside the queen who was reciting Buddhist scriptures.

The sound of chanting stopped, and the queen looked down at the beads in her hand.

This matter has only been reported until now, it seems that Long Live Lord also helped to hide it from her, why bother?If she wanted to do something, wouldn't there be room for a cook?

Thinking of this, the queen felt a pain in her tongue, because she had bitten her own tongue unknowingly.

She calmly swallowed the rusty blood in her mouth.

In the past, she was happy because Long Live Lord protected her second elder brother, but now that the love of protecting the calf falls on others, she knows what it means to be ruthless.

Her Yonglian has only been away for three years.

I wonder if Lord Long Live will remember Yong Lian's birthday?

All kinds of things from the past came to mind, the empress's eyes were dark, almost heartless, Gao Guifei couldn't keep this baby.

"Let her make trouble." The queen said calmly.

Listening to these calm words, Grandma Liu felt a creepy feeling in her heart for some reason.

She said yes, not daring to say more.

The sound of chanting Buddha sounded again, and sandalwood incense rose in the quiet room, and the smoke was lingering. The benevolent Guanyin lowered his eyes, but his face seemed to be full of pity and helplessness.

There are eight sufferings in life: Birth is suffering, old age is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering, separation from love is suffering, resentment is suffering, not getting what you want is suffering, and the five skandhas are blazing.
