Story of Yanxi Palace - Chapter 170
Sometimes, Wei Yingluo couldn’t help but think that Jiang was still old and spicy. She couldn’t see her heart clearly, but the Empress Dowager saw it clearly, so she used orders as an excuse to write to Hongli.
But that’s it. Hongli can’t forgive her, and she can’t forgive herself. The only communication between him and his life is entrusted in this letter.
Queen Mother did not let her do what she wanted.
Not yet at the end of the month, the queen mother suddenly summoned her, lying in a rocking chair with her eyes closed, and Aunt Liu knelt down to thump her legs on her side. She suddenly said, “Long Princess, how long has the emperor not written back to you?”
Wei Yingluo was shocked.
Empress: “Mingyu, you say.”
Mingyu was an honest man, so honestly replied: “Three months ago, Ling Niangniang ordered someone to send a family letter to the palace, and she never received a reply.”
“Ling Fei, your life is too happy.” The Empress Dowager said, “You have to think about it, why the emperor no longer wrote back to you.”
On the way back from the Empress Dowager, Mingyu comforted: “Don’t worry, it must be because the emperor has been too busy recently…”
“What am I worried about?” Wei Yingluo said softly, “He wouldn’t wait for me as long as I expected. There must be a younger and more beautiful girl than me, filling my place…”
said so, but my heart was a bit sour.
went back to his residence, and the white letter paper was laid on the table until the wax torch became gray, and at night till dawn, Wei Yingluo put down the ink brush that had dried up and said, “Go.”
Mingyu, who accompanied her all night, asked, “Where are you going?”
“Go to the Queen Mother and say goodbye.” After a pause, Wei Yingluo turned around and looked at Mingyu with a complex look. “Will you blame me? I promised that the queen’s mother would not be his concubine…”
Mingyu shook her head, took her hand, and said softly: “I believe you, if the lady is still alive, you will not be the empress’s concubine anyway.”
Wei Yingluo lowered his head, tears dropped.
The Empress Dowager is older and gets up very early. When Wei Yingluo came to ask her for good morning, she was having breakfast. On the table were the bird’s nest ducks hanging in the stove, the chicken with spring bamboo shoots, the Huizhou tofu, the red bean porridge, etc. , The fragrance is complete, but unfortunately the queen mother seems to have a bad appetite today, mostly unmoved, only to pick up an orange and eat slowly, after listening to Wei Yingluo’s intention, she said lightly: “You should have come, okay It’s not too late to propose it, and it didn’t disappoint me too much.”
Wei Yingluo was stunned.
“Ling Fei, you do have some skills, and the emperor will care about you and never forget it.” The Queen Mother looked at her with a pair of perplexing eyes. “But from today, you have to be prepared, you are no longer the most special. For three months, the emperor has never thought of you as a person! Maybe the days of Yuanmingyuan are too easy, paralyzing your keenness, or maybe you are too confident, and you are so confident that you have forgotten a word, there are people outside, there are days outside! ”
Wei Yingluo sighed in his heart, Shen Sheng asked: “Dare to ask the Queen Mother, who is this outsider, heaven and earth, who is it?”
“He Zhuo’s Yiparhan.” The Queen Mother said lightly, “The emperor personally gave her a Han name, Shen Bi.”
The smoke is empty, the moon is a thousand miles away, the light is shining, the still image is sinking, the fishermen are answering each other, what a joy.
“Shen Bi…” Wei Yingluo slowly repeated the name.
A man will give a woman such a name. Presumably, she really brought him such great joy that he… loved her extremely.
So sleepless all night, the next day was bright, Wei Yingluo got up to wash, took Mingyu back to the Forbidden City.
thought that it would take a day to sort out the long-abandoned Yanxi Palace, but when I came in and looked, the windows were clear and everything was neat and tidy.
Even the court eunuchs were the ones used in the past, one by one respectfully saluting to Wei Yingluo, as if she had never left, never fell out of favor, and was still the reigning concubine of the day.
“Xiao Quanzi, this time the errands were done well.” Ming Yu took a picture behind Xiao Quanzi, “Let you rush back to arrange ahead of time, so you can pack it up so quickly!”
Xiaoquanzi said with a smile: “This servant did not dare to take credit, when they returned to Yanxi Palace, they had already prepared it!”
Wei Yingluo listened, frowning, but Mingyu couldn’t hide his joy, grabbed her and said: “Yingluo, the emperor is after all thinking about you, you haven’t come back, everything is right…”
Don’t wait for her to finish talking, there was a clear and cold voice outside: “Is Ling Ling’s lady satisfied with the arrangement of Yanxi Palace?”
Everyone followed the prestige and saw a beautiful **** standing even in front of the door. He gazed across the crowd and smiled at Wei Yingluo slightly: “The minion pleases the concubine.”
——It is Yuan Chunwang.
Wei Yingluo smiled back, the same clear and cold: “Yuan Yuanguan, long gone.”
Yuan Chunwang put his head down, concealing the complex color of his eyes, and respectfully said: “The queen has been waiting for a long time, please make the concubine move.”
In the gazebo of the imperial garden, the old enemies gathered again today.
Wei Yingluo glanced at the stone table, hibiscus crisp, rose pie, grape wine, and fresh seasonal fruits, all of which she loved to eat. How could the queen know? Wei Yingluo looked at Yuan Chunwang standing behind her. The queen was certainly well-known to her when this person was there.
then smiled: “As soon as this palace heard that you were going back to the palace, it immediately sent someone to manage it, but I don’t know if you like it or not. If you have other needs, you can directly command Yuan Yuan.”
Wei Yingluo looked at the successor with strange eyes.
She thought that after she left, the Yanxi Palace people would go to the vacant building, and it would soon be deserted. Unexpectedly, there was no dust in the house or half of the weed in the courtyard. Someone had cleaned it. but why?
“What’s wrong?” Then he asked with a smile, “But not satisfied with the arrangement of the palace?”
Wei Yingluo shook his head and said, “No, the concubine is just thinking that the queen is the master of the Sixth Palace. Qianlong gave birth to twelve elders in seventeen years, and this year added thirteen elders. The entire harem is under your control. In the end, what kind of woman was in the palace in March, and the queen’s mother was unable to sit still.”
was stunned and immediately laughed. He picked up a glass of grape wine and took a sip, then don’t mean something: “If you see her, you will be as worried as this palace. No, it’s not fear, it’s fear.”
surprised Wei Yingluo slightly, and was the most terrible hunter she had ever seen. What kind of opponent should she be afraid of? Wei Yingluo couldn’t help but ask: “How can there be such a beauty in the world, compared to the Hui Hui Princess back then?”
Hui Gui Fei Qing Guo Qing Cheng, known as the peony national beauty, no matter before or after her death, Wei Yingluo has never seen a second person who can be compared with her in appearance, but then only a slight smile, seemingly complete Do not put the other person in the eyes: “The real beauty is not the skin. The emperor has countless beauty, how can he be confused by a face? In the view of this palace, the ten Hui Concubines are not as good as one Ronggui. ”
Wei Yingluo frowned lightly: “The empress queen, even if the noble lady is a peerless beauty, and is loved by the emperor, and does not threaten your status, the concubine still does not understand, in the end, what is the reason for you to be noble, to The concubine said yes.”
Yuan Chunwang, who has been silent for a while, suddenly said: “Ling Fei Niang, Rong Guiren has now been promoted to Rong Bin.”
Yingluo stunned.
Then he stood up, the flowers outside the pavilion were like blossoms, clumps of flowers, all open like a lady in the harem, especially a wisteria. The flower, turned around at her fingertips, said slowly: “She is the daughter of Huibei Taiji and Zamai. The elder brother Tur is doing great work in the counterinsurgency, repairing the watch forever, and deliberately sending his sister Ipal Khan Entering the palace, the emperor personally gave his name—Shen Bi, who loved it so much that it was far superior to you at the beginning!”
She turned around suddenly, handed wisteria flowers to Wei Yingluo, solemnly said: “So, we need to join forces to fight the enemy!”
Wei Yingluo looked at the flowers she handed. After a while, he shook his head: “The kindness of the empress queen, the concubine has already been taught. This time, the cooperation is still free.”
Cooperating with the successors is tantamount to seeking a skin with the tiger. Even if Wei Yingluo wants to compete with Shen Bi, she will not borrow her hand. The fruit on the table remained the same, Wei Yingluo said goodbye, and just turned around to leave, and heard a subsequent shouting behind her: “She was twenty-seven years old when she entered the palace!”
Wei Yingluo stepped.
