[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

After sending Yufu away, Wei Rong turned around and promised Chen with a smile: "Don't worry too much, this girl has no brains."

Chen promised to stare at her with clear eyes, "I'm not pretending to be hypocritical. It's true that I came here on purpose this time to take advantage of your reputation. Even if she scolds me, it's not wrong."

Wei Rong was a little surprised that she was so frank.In fact, she didn't mind being teased or something.

In comparison, the person who came to chat was Chen Xu, who surprised her, remembering that she obviously didn't want to be favored before.

Chen promised with a wry smile, "What can you do if you can't help yourself in the palace? Besides, I'm different from you..."

In fact, she doesn't need to explain, Wei Rong understands very well, maybe because of the atmosphere of red top and white in this palace, her days are becoming more and more difficult, maybe it's because Xi concubine extended an olive branch, how dare she refuse to follow the orders of the lord?

In this deep palace, who doesn't want to live a little more comfortably.

No pet, and no pet for many years, life is too hard!

I have also saved a sum of money these days, and I have golden fingers and painting skills, so I can be a little bit willful.

But even so, when it was a last resort, she had to obediently put down her figure and try her best to flatter Kangxi.

"Thank you for not blaming me." Chen promised to be sincerely grateful.

He sighed again, "Fortunately, I always pretended to be noble in the past, but now it seems that you are more out of this world than me."

Wei Rong laughed, probably no one can explain her subtle psychology.

"It's just...your face." Wei Rong hesitated for a moment before asking.

Chen promised that the black lemongrass poisoned by him before was more poisonous than himself. The imperial doctor said that it would take a year or two to recover slowly. Now it has only been half a year, and his face is already radiant and as white as porcelain.

"It was Empress Xi who rewarded me with some fairy water, I used some, and it really had a miraculous effect."

Wei Rong couldn't help but said: "I heard that this thing is harmful to the body."

"I know, it's just an emergency during these days, and I won't use it again in the future." Chen promised with a sarcasm, "If you think about it, you can see that there is no real magic medicine for rejuvenation in this world, but it really does exist, as high as Concubine Hui , Yifei and the others have already used it, how could it be our turn."

Wei Rong felt relieved.

The two were talking when a figure appeared outside the door.

"Is there any visitor here, sister?"

It was Song Qing'er who hadn't seen him for many days. She looked at Chen Xu with surprise.

Chen promised to know the friendship between the two, so he said goodbye and left.

It happened that Yufu and Yulian came back.Wei Rong took off the silk handkerchief from her head, and handed over the cleaning work to them.Take Song Qing'er back to the room.

During the two months in the summer palace, Song Qing'er's foot confinement has also come to an end.

Wei Rong watched carefully, the precipitation of these days made her brows become much quieter, and the original sweetness and innocence became a kind of stubbornness.

"Thanks to you, sister, otherwise I don't know how to get through these three months."

"People in the world often say that if you are extremely happy, after this period of time, there will be flowers blooming in the future."

"Sister Cheng has auspicious words." Song Qing'er smiled, and turned to look at the direction Chen promised to leave, "I don't know if the flowers will bloom or not, but the rain has been so good recently that the seedlings on the ground are squeezed out one by one. My sister is really good-tempered and can tolerate it."

"She can't help herself, so why bother to complain."

"It's okay for others, I just laughed at her, she was so noble in the past, but she is actually a layman," Song Qing'er sneered, and then said seriously, "I can see clearly, in this palace, only my sister is really good Fall into a rut."

Wei Rong pressed her forehead, she is really not that outstanding, it's just that she still has a golden finger to rely on.

Song Qing'er said, "It doesn't matter what the future will be like in Changchun Palace, I'm leaving anyway. It's my sister..."

After returning to the palace, Wei Rong did not go to Yonghe Palace every day as usual, and Concubine De did not summon her again.This caused everyone in Changchun Palace to discuss quietly.

"Don't worry, I didn't offend Concubine De, it's just that the matter of moving the palace involves too much, Concubine De doesn't want to offend Concubine Xi for the time being." It was impossible for Wei Rong to tell the truth, so she gave a random reason.

Song Qing'er didn't have any doubts, "That's right. Our future is only in their minds for these empresses."

He said again, "My sister is not leaving, but I am leaving."

Wei Rong knew that she had made up her mind, although she was worried, but thinking about Xi Concubine who is pregnant now is a crater.It's fine for Song Qing'er to leave first.

She said tactfully: "There are many more low-ranking concubines in Concubine Hui's place than ours, and the relationship between people is also complicated."

"I know, I will be careful on weekdays." Song Qing'er held her hand, her eyes were red, "I just can't bear to miss you, sister. In the past two years since entering the palace, only sister has treated me sincerely."

This afternoon, the two talked for a long time before bidding farewell.

***

A few days later, Concubine Hui suggested that she had frequent headaches since the beginning of autumn, and she went to Qintian to monitor it. The five elements lacked wood, and the weather was unfavorable. Only a rabbit who lived in the east side hall could suppress it. .

Song Qing'er in Changchun Palace happened to be a rabbit, so she asked Concubine Xi to let her go.

After Concubine Xi became pregnant, she was impatient to see people like Song Qing'er, and after posing a few lines, she readily agreed.

On a sunny afternoon, Song Qing'er moved to the Palace of Yanxi Palace with her spring peaches and a few simple belongings.

Suddenly without this chatty chatterbox who came to the door every day, Wei Rong also felt a lot lonely.

After all, people are social animals, and Yinzhen can't get in touch with her. There is really no one around her to talk about.

Yufu and the others have been illiterate since they were young, and it is unrealistic for the master of the palace to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the servants.

Originally, Chen promised to develop it.

However, she is favored now, and her status is subtle.

After meeting Kangxi that day, Chen promised to be carried to Qianqing Palace that night.

Afterwards, she doted on Fan Fei, and for a while, there was a tendency to keep pace with the nobleman Mimi.

Although there is no Jin Feng, but such a favor, Jin Feng is a matter of time.

Wei Rong vaguely thought that there was a concubine Qin who was very favored in the harem in the later years of Kangxi, who seemed to be the Chen family. I don't know if it was her.

And not only Kangxi dotes on her, but also the Empress Xi concubine pays special attention to her. All the rewards are higher than those of Wei Rong and Song Qing'er. She has been summoned several times and is kind and friendly.

Thus, everyone in the Changchun Palace knew that Chen Xuying was not only the emperor's new favorite, but also the concubine Xi's favourite.

Compared with Wei Rong who has been unable to be favored for a long time due to her disfigurement, Chen Yingying has undoubtedly become the hottest stove in Changchun Palace.

As one goes up and down, Wei Rong's treatment begins to decline gradually.

You can get a glimpse of it just from the meals delivered every day.

Since last winter, Wei Rong's dim sum dishes have always been top-notch.Just ask what you want to eat in the small kitchen, and someone will prepare it carefully and deliver it to you.Although he has not become a fool like Dou Changzai now, it is completely different from Shangxin in the past few days.

For this reason, Yu Fu and Yu Lian often scolded the gang of low-minded people.

Wei Rong wondered, probably the news that she was going to move to the Yonghe Palace was widely circulated, but now there is no movement, and since the emperor has promised Chen, he has never set foot in the studio again, which makes these people feel that they are this The stove is cold.

Let it be cold, anyway, she has money now.Ask Yufu to take some big money for whatever he wants to eat, and deliver it neatly.

What is really worrying is Xi Concubine's baby.

It's time to do what you planned.

That afternoon, Wei Rong went to the small Buddhist hall in the west.Because it was mentioned before that she would copy the scriptures to pray for the concubine Xi, Wei Rong copied a few volumes in her spare time.Of course, there is no need to kneel all day and rush to work day and night like copying scriptures for Kangxi.It's all copied and sent to the small Buddhist hall for offering.

The eunuch guarding the Small Buddha Hall welcomed him into the hall with a smile on his face.He took the scriptures she copied and offered them to the Buddha.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Wei Rong quickly flipped through the thick pile of scriptures on the shelf next to him.

These were copied for Kangxi before, and after they were submitted to Yulan, they brought them back and enshrined them here.

The bottom stack belonged to Li Jiagui from the past.

She quickly took out two pages and put them in her arms.

At this time, a voice came from behind: "What is Wei Chang doing here?"

Wei Rong was startled, and turned around, and Liu Ying was looking at her probingly.

Thinking back to just now, she should not have seen the behavior of drawing paper just now.Wei Rong calmed down and said with a smile: "Remembering the matter of transcribing scriptures for the emperor before, come here to see if my writing skills have deteriorated."

Looking at the thick stack in Liu Xu's hands, he sighed: "Liu Xu has copied a lot these days. I really did my best for your empress."

Liu promised a little bit, especially looking at the two thin volumes presented by Wei Rong in front of the Buddhist altar, she smiled contemptuously, "Your Majesty has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, praying for my little elder brother, I have been working day and night these days. I kept copying. Reported it yesterday, and the empress also praised me for my hard work.”

Wei Rong wanted to laugh, and only praised hard work, but didn't even get a word of loyalty. Liu promised that it was a waste of effort.

Liu promised this person, he was a little clever, but he was always a little slower than others.Even flattering can't get the point.

Earlier, he tried to seek refuge with nobleman Li Jia, but failed. Later, he tried to take advantage of Xi Concubine's pregnancy and tried to take advantage of the loophole, but failed again.Fortunately, Xi Concubine didn't bother with her either.

It wasn't until recently that Chen promised to be favored, and she finally came back to it.People are under the eaves, and they have to rely on the concubine's support to have a future!

So he began to spare no effort to please Xi Concubine, but obviously the results were limited.

The last time Wei Rong digested food after a meal, I also heard two maids serving in the palace of Xi concubines talking about her in a low voice, their tone was vulgar but incisive, eating feces could not match the warmth...

After complimenting Liu on the spot, Wei Rong said goodbye and left.

Back in the room, she spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, turned away Yufu and the others, took out two pages of Li Jiagui's paper, followed her handwriting, carefully figured it out, and finished writing a letter after a long time.

After putting away the letter paper, she sighed secretly.

I only hope that the thread buried today will not be useful one day.

***

Two days later, Concubine Hui's studio was also in order.Wei Rong started to go to Yanxi Palace to clock in for work.

To be honest, Wei Rong was a little apprehensive about going to Yanxi Palace to paint.

But to manage painting as a career, Concubine Hui cannot get around the hurdle.After all, she is the leader of the Qing harem today.Only after her old man finishes painting can it be the turn of others.

Fortunately, seeing Song Qing'er again in Yanxi Palace was the only consolation.

In the early morning of this day, Wei Rong met Concubine Hui in the main hall of Yanxi Palace.

Compared with the peace and tranquility of Yonghe Palace and the simplicity and neatness of Changchun Palace, the atmosphere of Concubine Hui's greetings in the morning can be called solemn and solemn.

When Wei Rong came, it was already past the time for greetings, but many low-ranking concubines did not leave, and the chairs on both sides were full.

Wei Rong quietly counted, at least seventeen or eight people.It's like a small harem.

The age distribution is also wide, there are three to 40 years old, and there are twenty-eight girls. The second person sitting on the right is Song Qing'er. She is wearing a goose-yellow flag dress, and her complexion is not bad.Seeing Wei Rong, his eyes flooded with surprise.
