The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 108
"Sister Niang, Lady Guigui is here," listening to Zhu hurried into the house, seeing Zhuang Luoyan reading a book, the volume was lower, "At this moment, Princess Guigui is sitting in the main hall, and the slave-in-law says you are still asleep, but she I don't want to go anyway."
Yun Xi frowned and looked at Zhuang Luoyan worriedly: "Manny, did Concubine Shu come because of family matters?" In the past, Empress and Concubine Shu didn't have much contact.
Zhuang Luoru put down the book and raised his eyebrows, saying: "In addition to this, why else. I have never seen her in Xihe Temple before, let's go and see her."
"Do you want a slave girl to dress you up?" Yun Xi saw that Zhuang Luoyan's dress was simple, with only two white jade hairpins in his hair, and couldn't help but say, "I don't know what Concubine Shu is going to do."
"No," Zhuang Luoyan helped her temples and held the soup woman who had received the bamboo presentation in her hand. "That's good."
In the main hall of Xihe Palace, Princess Gui sat in a carved chair and looked at the various ornaments in the hall with a haggard expression.She didn't care to drink the tea presented by the court lady and had to lean on the back of the chair to look at the door.At the step of Xihe Palace, she was helpless, but she held the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
The emperor did not want to see her, and even the queen looked like a harem, but who could see the emperor in the harem, only Zhuangluo rouge.She smiled bitterly, but didn't expect that she had fallen to this point.The concubine, the princess who favored the sixth house, even asked for a concubine in a low voice. When tomorrow, this joke will spread throughout the harem.
But what could she do? If the father and brother were in trouble, what would happen to her mother and brother? The uncle of the original vassal father would have wished to leave him clean at this time. Where would he stand up to plead, even Su Wenqian’s brainless Women, now they don't want to get in front of themselves.
By this time, she thought more clearly than ever. The emperor was ruthless, she knew long ago, but what she did not expect was that the emperor would be ruthless.After serving the emperor for so many years, even if there is no credit, there will be hard work, but when the emperor tried his father and brother, he had taken care of her a little bit.
After waiting for a long time, Zhuang Luoru didn't appear, and Princess Gui looked at the maid beside the tea: "Your mother is still resting?"
This lunch time is not enough, another hour after breakfast, I am afraid that I will go to bed and not want to see her true.
"Sister Gui Guili forgive her sins, but her slaves don't know," the court lady answered with a small voice.
With a chuckle, Princess Gui picked up the cup of warm tea and looked at the blue vine pattern on the cup. Suddenly she thought of the child in Zhuangluo's belly. If she had a child now, she might not be so embarrassed.
"Mrs. Zhao Fei arrived!"
Princess Gui turned around unexpectedly and saw Zhuang Luoyan holding her hand in the palace. The other party wore a loose wide-sleeved dress, which was more ordinary than ordinary people, and apparently came out without changing clothes.
"Come in for sleepiness, I don't know if the concubine is coming, please ask the concubine for forgiveness."
Princess Gui said: "Concubine Zhao doesn't need to be polite, it's because the palace is disturbing." She said after Zhuangluo sat down, "This palace is here today, there is something to ask for, and also asked Princess Zhao to help one or two."
Unexpectedly, the princess Shu Gui, who had always acted euphemistically, became so straightforward. Zhuang Luoyan sat on the chair for a moment and then said: "The concubine's mother's words are too heavy. If you can't do anything, how can the concubine help you, concubine? Don’t laugh, sissy."
"I think you are unwilling." Shu Guifei looked calm, but Zhuang Luoru felt that she seemed to have fallen into despair.
"Since you returned to favor, I have always felt that a woman like you is just a momentary novelty of the emperor, but more than two years have passed, and many people have fallen out of favor and died, but you have been affected by a small "Yi became Zhao Fei," Shu Guifei smiled bitterly, "Even I am no longer fond of the past, more and more diligent in your palace, and even arranged a lot of people for your children, I don't know to replace you The calculation of how many people stopped."
When Zhuang Luoru heard this, she felt that instead of pleading with her, Princess Gui came to her to vent her emotions. She just heard Princess Gui spoke in such a calm tone, and she felt inexplicable.
"The concubine said this seriously," the smile on Zhuang Luoyan's face faded. "How did the concubine know that the concubine had not envied you? When the concubine entered the palace, she was under seventeen and the emperor loved a few Recently, I thought that the emperor understood the concubine's intentions, and was so happy that he forgot the shape. Later, I realized that the emperor was just a fresh concubine."
"At that time, the concubine always watched the emperor petting you, loving you, thinking about it. If the emperor's concubine is half as good as you, the concubine will be satisfied," Zhuangluo roared with a wry smile on his face. , "Later the concubine learned to cover up her mind, and the emperor gradually waited for the concubine to get better, but at night he was always afraid, and when the emperor did not spoil the concubine, what should I do?"
Princess Gui was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled lowly, even laughing out her tears: "So that is the case, so it is, no wonder that you were the only daughter-in-law of the dealer, you would enter the palace, for this reason." She seemed He looked at Zhuang Luoyan sympathetically, "Entering this place, I hope you won't have a day of regret."
Concubine Shu looked incredulously at the woman in front of her, how could a woman be so stupid as to enter the palace for the emperor, if she married an ordinary person, she could become a justified wife and a master of the backyard, so why not understand Men come to such places?
At the beginning, the Su family was weak. She was sent to the palace to learn dance since she was a child. She tried her best to get the emperor's favor, and then she unconsciously regarded that man as salvation. When did she die?Is Zhuang Luoyan more and more favored, or is Zhuang Luoyan pregnant, or has not yet given up?
The two of them are more pitiful. Perhaps she has already lost. She is already a pitiful person. But Zhuangluo roo will be tomorrow's self. No one knows, and she is not interested anymore.
At the gate of the main hall, Feng Jin stood behind his back with his hands on his back. He was kneeling behind several eunuchs. These people were already terrified, and they didn’t want to listen to the concubine’s private words, but nobody dared There was a little movement, I just asked the emperor to wait for the next time to remember, not to ask their heads.
"If you don't want so much, you will be easily satisfied, and you won't regret it," Zhuang Luoyan was silent for a moment. "When I entered the palace, it was to get closer to the emperor, but now... it is already a favor from the heavens to me. ."
This is the first time Zhuang Luoru has claimed to be "Me" in front of Princess Shu, but Princess Gui doesn't care about it. She looks at the friendship in the other's eyes and laughs bitterly.Even if she is just a concubine, she is also a person, and she has thought about asking for more. She has thought about the emperor's treatment of her, and has thought about the emperor's sincerity towards her. Is this also an extravagant hope. Why is God treating women unfairly?!
"Well, you haven't been to the Japanese Palace today," Sister Gui Gui stood up. She knew that this woman wouldn't ask the emperor, and she couldn't make a gesture of begging.
Zhuang Luoru watched as Sui Guifei stood up, followed slowly to stand up, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Queen concubine, walk slowly."
Princess Gui looked back at her and lifted her chin. It seemed to restore the arrogant but restrained appearance of the past, and turned to go out the door.
Zhuangluo watched her back disappear silently at the door, and sighed.Perhaps when Su Shilang impeached her elder brother, the emperor was already unhappy.The people of the Su family did too much malice by virtue of Concubine Shu. The emperor may know these things in his heart, but he could not bear it.This time, it happened at the New Year's Eve, and he didn't even keep a little bit of affection, and even ignored the concubine Shu several times. Didn't the emperor no longer want to hold a high concubine Shu?
Zhuang Luoyan suddenly changed her face. She turned to look at Yun Xi, lowering her voice and said in Yun Xi's ear: "Somehow make people inquire about Zhao's family." She suspected that the emperor wanted to move Zhao's family.
Out of the hall, she found that the maid at the door was looking awkward, and she understood what was going on, holding Yun Xi's hand and showing a smile.
It seems that the emperor has just been here. Recently, he has become accustomed not to pass it on, and I don't know how much he has just heard.
In the imperial study room, Feng Jin picked up a zipper, glanced at it and put it down: "Gao Dezhong, do I remember the birthplace of Concubine Zhao's mother?"
Gao Dezhong was stunned for a while, and then said: "Emperor, this servant really does not know."
Feng Jin nodded and hesitated for a moment: "In a few days, Mrs. Zhuang was called into the palace to see Princess Zhao. After Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a prince, Mrs. Jin Fengzhuang will seal Mrs. Yipin."
Gao Dezhong remembered the words silently, and knew that the emperor was exalting the concubine of Zhao Fei. Otherwise, with the grade of Master Zhuang, how could Mrs. Zhuang make a death sentence?
"Send these papers down," pushed a few red papers aside, "If someone takes the opportunity to ask you about things in the future, I will say that I am in a bad mood because of some officials in the court."
The Su family has already been liquidated, and the emperor also mentioned some officials... Gothe jumped loyally and said, "The minion took it down." Has the emperor finally decided to liquidate it all?
The first thing Gao Dezhong thought of was the Zhao family of the queen's mother and the Ye family behind the queen mother. The Ye family has been suppressed in the last two years and is no longer a big deal.The only possibility is the Zhao family.
It seems that after this harem, Zhao Fei's world is gone.
