Jiang Ling turned his head away slightly and coughed.

Yipin's complexion sank, she walked to Jiang Ling's side in a few steps, and said in a low voice, "She hasn't come yet, so I might as well tell you straight. I really envy your good luck, not only can you be selected every time Accompanying you, and being able to evade disasters, is really the envy of others. But you have to know that living in this palace does not always have good luck. When the day when the luck is exhausted, rely on Own."

Jiang Ling grasped the corner of the quilt, and a subtle energy flowed to his fingertips: "You really think so?"

It's not that Jiang Ling doesn't understand Yi Bin's words, but that this point of view is too shocking.

good luck or something...

Concubine Yi gave her a blank look, as if she felt that what she just said was in vain: "You think I'm that stupid Concubine Hui... Well, I might as well tell you that there are my eyes and ears in Qianqing Palace. The southern tour, the last time I accompanied Rehe, and the last draft, I saw it directly, and no one could do it. If it weren't for your luck, how could you win every time. And yesterday At the flower viewing banquet, I saw Hui concubine change things with my own eyes, but it happened that you were far away from us, so I couldn't see it at all. I have seen Hui concubine's methods before, and it is very safe to be safe at this time. Less than one. If you hadn't been lucky--"

Yipin picked up a medical certificate on the desk, sneered and said:

"And now, even if you have moved your fetus, the emperor has only let the imperial physician come to see you twice, and you are still reviewing papers and meeting foreign ministers in the Qianqing palace, without even saying a word. What do you think?" Think, has the emperor ever visited you?"

Jiang Ling was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "The eyes and ears left in Qianqing Palace are the emperor's close ministers, right?"

According to Kangxi's temperament, he would definitely get rid of all the eunuchs and maids he can't use.

The only possibility is the close ministers trained by Concubine Yi's natal family.

Yipin's complexion changed slightly, but she said: "You don't need to know about this."

Jiang Ling smiled faintly, skipped the topic, and asked her: "Then what do you want to do when you come here today?"

Concubine Yi let out a long breath, approached Jiang Ling, and said, "I want you to compete for favor."

Just five words, simple and simple, but there is no deep meaning hidden behind it.

Yi Concubine returned to the previous position, plucked her nails leisurely, and continued: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your belly. I heard that the imperial concubine has moved her mind, waiting for your As soon as the child is born, he will be taken to the palace to be raised, and he will not even keep a shadow for you. Are you willing to let your child call someone else to be your mother in the future? Are you willing to let your child work hard for the glory and wealth of another family? Do your best all your life? Are you willing to live in this palace in desolation and never see your child? As I said just now, your good luck will be exhausted one day. In the end, you can rely on , only you."

When Yipin said this, she suddenly stopped and said with a smile:

"In the future, your child, no matter whether it is a prince or a princess, can only rely on you, my mother. Yunling, you are a smart person, you should know what to do, which is the best for yourself and your child. "

Jiang Ling raised his hand to caress his lower abdomen, and was silent for a moment.

In fact, Yipin's words are quite reasonable.

Jiang Ling thought for a long time before asking: "Are you sowing discord?"

Half of the people in the palace knew that she lived in the Rongguo Mansion for a while before entering the palace.As for what happened in the mansion, there is no way of knowing.It was also because of this that most people in the palace thought that she had some connections with the Rongguo Mansion.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Concubine Hui's footsteps and voice came out of the house at the same time, and there were also high and low voices of greetings outside.There are maids from the Changchun Palace, and there are court ladies brought by Concubine Yi.In a blink of an eye, Concubine Hui had already walked into the room, and gave Jiang Ling a sharp look: "You are lucky."

Jiang Ling remembered the pastry that was replaced yesterday, so he didn't speak.

Concubine Yi also turned to look at Concubine Hui, her eyes gradually turned cold.

According to the speed at which Concubine Hui came, what Concubine Hui heard just now should be Concubine Yi's last words.

But how could concubine Hui let go of this golden opportunity and hit concubine Yi, she was naturally so happy: "Seeing that the accounts of the Rongguo Mansion are being investigated, and the noble concubine will lose power for a while, I want you and your belly If I remember correctly, the emperor has not visited the harem for three whole years, and no princes or daughters have been born in the palace, right?"

As Concubine Hui said, she glanced at Jiang Ling's lower abdomen under the quilt again, feeling a little cold.

Jiang Ling was slightly taken aback.

This……

If she remembers correctly, Kangxi withdrew all green visas a year and eight months ago.

Before she could sort out her train of thought, she heard Concubine Hui say again: "It just so happens that your family background, appearance and temperament are all the top choices, and because you accompanied the tour on the southern tour, you are quite favored by the emperor, so I let you do it." I took this nail. But I'll see, you're probably going to fall out of favor."

Yipin stood up abruptly, knocking the teacup on the desk.

Concubine Hui sneered again, and pointed the finger at Concubine Yi: "Why, did I say something wrong? If it wasn't for this, why would you come here in such a hurry. It's a pity that your cleverness is misunderstood by your cleverness."

Yipin stared at her firmly, almost bursting into flames.

Concubine Hui snorted coldly, turned her head to look at Jiang Ling, and said with a sneer, "You really are lucky."

Jiang Ling looked up at her, and said calmly: "Don't dare to bother Concubine Hui to remember. The cooks in Concubine Hui's palace are really first-rate."

When Concubine Hui heard the word cook, her face immediately changed.She looked at Yipin, then at Jiang Ling, her face turned green and pale, with a hint of resentment: "So what if I did it? In the end, you don't have any evidence at all. , who would believe you." After saying this, he brushed off the teacup on the table and left.

There were high and low congratulations outside again.

Concubine Yi's expression was also uncertain, and after a long time, she slowly calmed down, and said to Jiang Ling: "Think about it carefully. For yourself, and for your child." After saying that, she got up and left. Slightly lighter than Huipin, but still clearly audible.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and let out a long breath: "Come in, open the window, let's get some air."

The nuns and the maids from the outside filed in, opened all the windows in the room, and cleaned up all the things Yibi brought just now.Jiang Ling repeatedly thought about Yipin's words, "In the future, your child, no matter whether it is a prince or a princess, can only rely on you, my mother." She took out the Linghua mirror from under the pillow, and held it tightly. Holding it in the palm of my hand, my heart feels a little heavy.

The child in her womb, whether it is a prince or a princess, is destined to live in this world.

This water chestnut mirror can bring her to another world, but it may not benefit this child.

Jiang Ling pursed her lips slightly, and gently stroked her lower abdomen.There is already a slight pulsation there, gently, like the beating pulse in a capillary.Jiang Ling's perception is more subtle than that of normal people, so he can clearly feel that there is a small new life in his belly that is still taking shape.

a child.

Jiang Ling clutched the mirror tightly, feeling confused in his heart.

I don't know how much time passed, the sky outside became dark, and heavy snow fell in the sky.The teacup in front of me changed the water three or four times, the maids came in and out six or seven times, and even the nuns went to the outer room to take a nap.The imperial physicians still followed the rules and came to the side hall of the Changchun Palace with the medicine box to wait, preparing to diagnose her pulse at night.

There were numerous and chaotic footsteps outside, as well as a woman's shrill conversation.

Jiang Ling frowned hard, and put the Linghua mirror back, feeling a dull pain in his head.

After a while, another court lady came in in a hurry and said with some embarrassment: "Master, two ladies came outside and said that they wanted to see the master. The slave just said that the master has fallen asleep, but they still refused to comply." Forgive me. Look—”

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and asked, "Where is the lady from?"

The maid replied: "It's the two wives of Rongguo Mansion, but they didn't ask carefully."

Well, three uninvited guests have just been sent away, and now two more are here.

Jiang Ling opened his eyes and looked at the more leaky, pattering, already passed the mark line of Shen Shi.Because of the earth dragon burning in the house, Geng Leu did not freeze.She rubbed the space between her brows, and said wearily, "Let them come in." What should come, will come anyway.

The maid said aloud, walked outside, and led the person in after a while.

It was Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai.

Mrs. Wang's complexion was much haggard compared to yesterday, obviously she hadn't slept all night.As soon as she saw Jiang Ling, she asked sullenly, "Where did you take Daiyu?" Her voice was stiff.

The palace lady was a little displeased and said: "Madam sees Concubine Yun, she should first salute and say hello. Also, aren't you here to visit the master? Why are you so rude?" If it wasn't for the name of visiting Jiang Ling, they would be here today. Those who cannot enter Changchun Palace.

Jiang Ling glanced at Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was still angry, but with Xue Baochai's support, she bowed to her.

After the ceremony was over, Mrs. Wang suppressed her anger and asked again: "I went to find Daiyu this morning, but they said that Daiyu had entered the palace. I hurriedly tried to enter the palace, but the people in the palace said that Princess Beijing and Concubine Yun After chatting for a while, I left. Now I can't find her anywhere. Where did you hide her?"

The maid next to her was displeased again: "Don't be rude."

Jiang Ling smiled lightly.

Where did Lin Daiyu go? Of course she was well hidden by her husband.

But this cannot be said truthfully.And not only can't tell the truth, but also cover up one or two things for Lin Daiyu, which can be regarded as a kindness for both Beijing Jing Wang and Lin Daiyu.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling said, "I don't know where Ayu has gone. She is the Princess of Beijing, and I am just a concubine who has lived in the palace for a long time. I am pregnant and my fetus is moving. The second wife ran away. Is it inappropriate to come to Changchun Palace to ask for someone from me?"

She glanced at Mrs. Wang, and there was a little more smile in her eyes: "Furthermore, the aggressive second wife is not here to seek someone, but to seek revenge."

"you--"

Jiang Ling withdrew her gaze, leaned on the soft pillow, and said slowly: "Thirdly, Ayu is the Princess of Beijing, and the second wife should not call her by her name directly because of emotion and reason. This is not in line with etiquette. The second wife doesn't know, so the second grandma Bao should also know."

"you--"

"Mother." Xue Baochai stopped Mrs. Wang's words, took a few steps forward, bowed her knees slightly to Jiang Ling, and said, "It's my mother-in-law who is reckless, and I still hope that Yunpin Haihan. But today we entered the palace to look for the princess, it is really There is an important matter, and the concubine must come forward. Look, is it convenient?" His tone was much softer than Mrs. Wang's.

Jiang Ling shook his head and said calmly, "But I really don't know where Ayu is now."

"Miss Yunbi." Xue Baochai was afraid that Mrs. Wang would make another offense, so she said first, "An accident happened in our mansion yesterday, and the whole family was very busy. Only Princess Beijing can help us. Busy. This—" Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Everyone in the house knows that Empress Yunbin and Princess Beijing have a close relationship. Think about it again, before the princess left, did she ever say where she was going?"

Jiang Ling shook his head slowly and said, "No."

Xue Baochai glanced at Mrs. Wang, bit her lower lip again, and decided to go all out: "Presumably this morning, Baoqin has already mentioned it to the empress, our house is full of grass and trees, and people are panicking. Now they are raiding the Grand View Garden." The empress has a kind heart, and she has lived in our mansion, so you can't just watch people die in the mansion?"

Jiang Ling's eyes finally moved, turned to look at Xue Baochai, frowned and said, "Did someone die?"

In her impression, it should not be so fast to copy and inspect the Grand View Garden.And earlier, she had asked Xue Yan to arrange the girls who were expelled from the mansion in a comfortable manner.Now several of them are married and have children, and they are living quite peacefully.

Xue Baochai said in a low voice: "If it is not handled properly, I'm afraid it will kill someone."

Jiang Ling let out a long breath, and said: "I really don't know where Ayu is now. No matter how much you ask me, I will still say the same thing. But to say that someone died in your house, I'm afraid it's a bit exaggerated .Listen well, there is only one way to keep the people in your mansion."

She turned her head to look at Xue Baochai, and said word by word:

"Sell the useful things in your house, close half of the shops and farms, halve the interest, get back the principal and interest, obediently fill the holes in the books, don't tear down the east wall to pay the west wall like before, in the end They are all holes for air leakage. The salaries of the masters in your mansion, as well as the second master Lian, can still cover food, lodging and expenses. Of course, it is impossible to maintain the extravagant life of the past."

Xue Baochai's face changed slightly.

"These words are indeed not pleasant, but the only way now is to find a way to plug up all the holes in your mansion, whether it is in the public office, in the household department, or in other places. I know you People in the mansion like to take chances, but there must be no room for falsehoods in this matter. Otherwise, let alone Ayu, even if the King of Beijing is present, there is nothing he can do."
