This palace wants to kill Concubine Xi

Nian Suyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

*************

After a while, Nian Suyuan took care of her body better, so she went to pay her respects to the queen as usual, and went to pay her respects to the queen mother with all the concubines.When seeing Mingjiao again, she was able to suppress her hatred in her heart freely, laughing and playing with Mingjiao, joking and chatting, as if nothing had happened.But only she knew how hard she endured.

After paying her respects, the empress specially kept her, along with concubines Xi and Concubine Qi.Nian Suyuan guessed in her heart that it should be related to Xiaoxuan.

Sure enough, after a while, the queen ordered someone to take out a stack of books, piled them high on the desk, and said: "This is the list of this year's small election, plus those who left the cards in previous years, there are quite a lot of them."

Nian Suyuan glanced at the roster and asked, "Where are you looking for this year? Tiyuan Hall?"

The queen also glanced at her, and replied, "The imperial garden."

Imperial Garden?

Now it is the three volts of June, and half a month later it will be the time to choose the show girl.The red sun was scorching in the imperial garden, and her body was weak... Nian Suyuan chuckled and said, "It should be excellent."

The queen let out a soft "噫" unexpectedly.If she hadn't been sitting close, she wouldn't have heard it.

"Empress, Concubine Nian."

"Empress, Concubine Nian..."

Concubine Qi and Concubine Xi spoke almost at the same time.Concubine Xi looked at Concubine Qi, and smiled slightly: "Sister Concubine Qi should invite first."

Concubine Qi said: "Queen Rong said, Concubine Nian is just out of confinement, and her body is exhausted. If it is in the imperial garden...isn't it good?"

Concubine Xi glanced at her unexpectedly, and abruptly twisted what she was going to say: "I also think that this year's small election might as well be held in the Tiyuan Hall, so that it can free up some manpower compared to the old practice of the previous dynasty. .”

Hey, how did the wind direction change today?

Concubine Nian, who has always been domineering and domineering, is as docile as a sheep, but Concubine Qi and Concubine Xi actually help Concubine Nian speak together?

The queen looked at this and then at that, narrowing her long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly: "Sure."

Nian Suyuan sneered.

It seems that she accidentally accepted the love between Concubine Qi and Concubine Xi.

The four of them set a date for the draft and a general procedure before they got up and said goodbye.Nian Suyuan and Concubine Qi left first, but Concubine Xi timidly stayed behind, knelt at the Queen's feet, and said in a low voice: "I have a merciless request, and please don't blame the master."

She was originally the Gege who served Princess Yong, but now she calls the queen "Master", and there is also old love in it.

The Queen motioned for her to continue.

"The fourth elder brother has turned twelve this year, and the concubine is thinking, should I match him with a few maids?"

Originally, according to the old practice, when the princes of the emperor turned twelve, they should have everything from Da Da, nanny, and house maids.But Yinzhen himself was not close to women, and the kings did not dare to get too close to the concubines of Fujin concubines, and even led the House of Internal Affairs to speculate on the holy will, and fired those girls who were in the house.

Mingjiao was dissatisfied, but dared not speak out.Taking advantage of today's controversy over the minor election, this matter was brought up.

The queen frowned: "Concubine Xi, to put it lightly, you are messing around; to put it seriously, you are openly resisting the order."

"Concubine..."

"Forget it, let Ben Gong think about it. The fourth elder brother is getting old, and it's not a problem to delay. If he chooses, there must be a few in the fifth elder brother's room. Are they the same age after all... slow So, in two months it will be the fourth brother's birthday..."

******

On the way back, Nian Suyuan vaguely reminded Concubine Qi to look at Hongshi and not to associate with foreign officials, especially the Eighth Prince.What made her quite depressed was that Concubine Qi didn't seem to understand her hints.She even said eloquently: "Wouldn't it be good to have more visits between the royal family?"

What a fool!

Nian Suyuan finally understood why the third elder brother would do such a taboo thing, his mother taught him all the feelings!

To Nian Suyuan's surprise, Yinzhen came again that night.

It was late at night, and she had already gone to bed.When Yinzhen came, he came quietly and didn't disturb anyone.However, she was a light sleeper, and as soon as Yinzhen sat down beside her bed, she already sensed something was wrong, opened her eyes suddenly, and subconsciously wanted to call for someone.

"It's me." Yinzhen's voice was filled with deep fatigue.

He said "I", not "I".

Nian Suyuan thought for a moment, sat up, leaned against him, and gently rubbed his temples: "Are you tired, sir?"

Surprisingly, Yinzhen actually let out a "hmm":

"I'm tired of reviewing papers, so I might as well come to your place for a sit-down."

small selection

"Then..." Nian Suyuan is not sure whether he will stay here tonight, anyway, he will not get a green lottery within three years, if he stays here for one night...

"Talk with me for a while. (Punishing Heaven and Slaughtering Demons)" Yin Zhen leaned on the mattress, closed her eyes, and felt her fingertips gently kneading the acupuncture points, which was extremely comfortable.

Nian Suyuan thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Okay, then Suyuan listens to Master."

Although Nian Suyuan said so, Yinzhen remained silent.Nian Suyuan guessed that he might have suffered some kind of suffocation in the booklet. It happened to be in the middle of the night, Prince Yi was not there, Erdo was not there, Zhang Tingyu was not there, and Nian Gengyao was far away in the northwest, so he could only go to Yikun Palace Spit bitter water.As for why... Yinzhen didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to ask.

After a while, Yinzhen still didn't make a sound, Nian Suyuan couldn't help calling softly: "Your Majesty?"

no response.

It turned out to be asleep.

Nian Suyuan glanced at the maids on duty outside the tent, and told them with her lips to see who the eunuch who followed Yinzhen today was.

The maid went and came back to report: "It's Zhang Qilin, Eunuch Zhang. Do you want to pass an edict, master?"

Nian Suyuan waved her hand, feeling troubled.Logically speaking, Yinzhen shouldn't have come to Yikun Palace, but he just came; not only did he come, but he also slept here; if he didn't handle it well, it would be another "wrong" in the eyes of those interested outside disrespect to the father".

She waited for Yinzhen to lie down, went to see Zhang Qilin by herself, and asked in a low voice: "Is there a soft sedan chair outside?"

Zhang Qilin looked bitter: "It's late at night, I was not prepared, the emperor came here by himself. My lord, what should I do?"

Nian Suyuan pondered for a moment, and said: "Grandpa, who is wronged, rest here tonight; Qingmei and Yulu, you two, go and bring some basins of ice; the emperor can't stand the heat. Wake up all the high-ranking ladies and bring them with you." With the Buddhist scriptures that I have copied, I will go to Shoukang Palace to pay homage to the Buddha with me. (Alternate Saintess)"

Zhang Qilin was stunned, and then suddenly realized, he gave Nian Suyuan a slap: "Thank you, master."

****

A few days ago, although Yinzhen obeyed the Queen Mother's order, he called his fourteenth brother back from the northwest.But within two days, he was immediately sent to guard the imperial tomb.The Empress Dowager was so angry that she vomited blood forcefully. Since then, she lived and ate in the small Buddhist hall, and the concubines could only kneel and kowtow outside the Buddhist hall if they wanted to see or worship.

It is said that the Empress Dowager became obsessed with chanting Buddha. The first thing she did when she woke up every day was to chant sutras. She rested when she was tired of chanting, and continued to chant after waking up. Even in the middle of the night, the sound of chanting Buddha often came from Shoukang Palace. , frightened the maids on duty at night.

Nian Suyuan took her people to Shoukang Palace in a mighty way.

The sound of chanting Buddha's name continued intermittently, and his strength was already exhausted.

She deliberately presented Buddhist scriptures, and confessed that she came to find the Queen Mother to discuss Buddhist principles together.The queen mother was very happy, opened the door of the Buddhist hall for the first time, and let Nian Suyuan in.

Nian Suyuan was very depressed.

Although she copied the Buddhist scriptures for half a year, she could only understand every single word in the Buddhist scriptures.Ever since she was a concubine, the Empress Dowager Piansheng had been reciting scriptures several times a day. Listening to her was like listening to scriptures from heaven, and she was very sleepy, really suffering.

It was already dawn.

The Queen Mother was still talking about Prajna Paramita, about Shakyamuni Lotus Flower, and about some weird and drowsy things, when suddenly, a slightly cold voice came in:

"The queen mother and concubine Nian are really in good spirits."

Nian Suyuan stood up, gave Yinzhen a deep blessing, and then stepped aside.

Standing outside the Buddhist hall, Yinzhen bowed to the Empress Dowager, and then said: "I am quite enlightened after hearing what my mother said about Buddhist rites, but there are also some things that I don't understand. Please ask my mother to give me some pointers."

Yinzhen likes to visit Buddha.

The queen mother also likes to visit Buddha. (Lovely pets are in charge)

This pair of mother and son got together, although they seemed a bit crazy, they still confronted each other as usual, but at any rate, they no longer brazenly fought like usual, involving innocent passers-by.

Looking at Nian Suyuan's listless look, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel amused and distressed.Of course he knew why she came here in the middle of the night to seek guilt.Presumably last night, he must have added another sentence in his daily life note: "Going to stay in Yikun Palace, the noble concubine and the queen mother discussed Buddhism, and did not return all night".

The time for Ascension is coming.

Yinzhen got up to leave, and Nian Suyuan was dragged by the queen mother again, and she poured out "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva walked the deep prajna paramita for a long time, and saw that all five aggregates are empty and relieved all suffering. ".

**************

afternoon.

take a nap.

After finally waking up, she saw Yinzhen sitting beside her, looking at her with a smile.She was a little emotional, since Yinzhen became king, she seldom smiled, and she only saw him sneer a few times in the first few months when she first entered the mansion.This time, there was a smile in his eyes.

"My concubine pays respects to the emperor." Nian Suyuan saluted honestly.

"Is Concubine Nian convicted?"

how? …
