The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 494 Desolate
When going to bed at night, Yanhua blew a few words in Yinzhen's ear again, and they were pleading words for Hongshi.

Although Yinzhen wasn't angry, he didn't respond even if he hugged her.After Yanhua babbled a few words, she shut her mouth wisely and didn't continue talking.She has already done what should be done, and since this stubborn old man refuses to withdraw the edict, there is nothing she can do.

The next day, Yinzhen didn't let her go to the Yongshou Palace to pay her respects, and said that he would talk to the queen in the future to let her avoid the matter of paying respects, so that she would not have to go to the Yongshou Palace every day.Yanhua refused to follow her, Xiaoxiao was still being raised in Yongshou Palace, she went to visit every day as a visit, and she could also visit Xiaoxiao by the way, why not do it?Besides, she and the queen are getting along very well now, and she won't be offended if she goes to ask for peace.

Yinzhen couldn't resist her, so he had to let her go, but today he didn't let her go.He got up and went to eat first, and then discussed the court affairs with several military ministers, and let Yanhua sleep for a while before leaving.

After he left, Yanhua couldn't fall asleep either, she got up after staring for a while.

The little maid serving her clothes had a smile on her face, Yan Hua asked her why she was smiling, after hesitating for a while, seeing Yan Hua's kind face, Fang boldly said: "The emperor really loves the empress, the servant is serving you in the palace. For so many years, I have never seen such a situation. The empress is really lucky."

Which concubine didn't want to serve the emperor well?But just now, not only did the emperor not let Concubine Xi help her get dressed, but he also insisted that Concubine Xi not let her get up, coaxing her to sleep a little longer, thinking about it makes people envious.He is the Son of Heaven aloof, except for Concubine Xi, who else can get such favor from him?

Yanhua smiled, slightly raised the corner of her mouth: "Really?"

She didn't know when she got used to being pampered and coaxed by him, but now when she heard the little palace maid say this, she couldn't help but blushed a little, her heart was as sweet as honey.I still remember that when she was kissed by Yinzhen for the first time, she was shy for several days in a row, and she even had to recall her dreams.Now I am so close to him, but I don't have such a strong feeling anymore.So, she won't be so appreciative when she knows that he's trying to make someone else sleep with him, but she still can't see it with her own eyes, and she still feels uncomfortable when she sees it.

However, although those Yingying and Yanyan were younger than her in appearance, their brains were also younger, so she wasn't too worried.

When she went out to wait for Yinzhen to review the papers, she realized that Yinzhen had issued another imperial decree, saying that Aqina's son, Hongshi, would be entrusted to the thirteen princes to support him.Yanhua was quite relieved, she felt that he had thought about it quietly after all, and couldn't bear to let Hongshi suffer from cold and hunger.After all, Hongshi has already been expelled from the palace, which is really pitiful.

However, in this way, no one will compete with Hongli for the throne.This incident made Yan Hua very pleased, and felt that it seemed a little unkind to be secretly thankful for this, so she didn't show this joy...

Concubine Qi is now only left with a child like Hongshi, so what happened to her made her feel dim.At first, she would come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to kneel down every day, begging to see the emperor.But Yinzhen didn't want to listen to her pleading for Hongshi, so he didn't see her even once.

Concubine Qi knelt on her knees for half a month, and finally fell ill with great heartache. After she recovered, the look in her eyes changed, gloomy, desolate, and lifeless.

When she came out again, two months had passed, and the flowers in the imperial garden had all bloomed and withered.

It was already the beginning of May, and the Qianqiu Festival would soon be held.The queen's birthday is May [-]th, and because of the mourning period, there was no big event before, although she did not agree with extravagance this time, Yinzhen still ordered it to be lively and lively on that day.Therefore, after Concubine Qi walked out of Chengqian Palace, she realized that the palace was full of joy, even the eunuchs and maids who happened to pass by Chengqian Palace were all smiling.

It turned out that the emperor and queen were all very happy because the Qianqiu Festival was approaching, and they would reward them every now and then.

Concubine Qi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.Looking around, she is the only one who is so desolate.

"Have the bank notes been sent out? Is Hongshi doing well now?" She asked Sou Yue to help her, and went to the Imperial Garden to relax and relieve her sulking.

"Your Majesty, I have sent them all away. The third elder brother is now being raised by the Twelfth Prince's House, and he has not suffered any grievances. Madam, don't worry." With a bitter face, Shu Yue only dared to sigh in her heart.The master will always be the master. Although the third elder brother is not the prince now, in her heart, he will always be the little master she watched growing up.

Concubine Qi wiped away her tears again, and nodded sadly a few times.Walking along the corridor, she heard a group of chirping voices. Looking at the sound, it was coming from the other side of the rockery, like those young women who had just entered the palace talking.

"Sisters who have just entered the palace, Sister Su is the most outstanding, not to mention pretty, but also the most favored..." A crisp voice floated over, the voice was so immature, and the appearance seemed even more immature.

Concubine Qi was silent, her expression became more and more gloomy.

Rao no matter how much she pays attention to maintenance, her age is also here.She is two years older than the emperor, so she also knows that she has no chance to regain favor.She devoted all her thoughts to several children, and in the end she only got one Hongshi to live well to this day, but in the end, she still ended up in such a fate.She lost her support overnight, let alone how bitter she was.

"Being favored? How could being favored be fined and locked up for two months?" Another voice came over, with unconcealable jealousy in his tone.

"Yo~ sister is jealous of sister Su, right? Sister Su, don't be as knowledgeable as her." The crisp voice just now sounded again.

"Why am I jealous of her? Didn't she just serve her bed a few times? There will be more opportunities in the future. No matter what she does, she can't compare with the Empress Xi. Don't think that she is called Xiao Concubine Xi a few times, just take it seriously. I am a concubine, hmph! If you are really favored, why doesn't the emperor make you a nobleman? If you can't be a nobleman, at least you can be promoted to be a permanent presence..."

"You! No matter how inferior I am to that old woman, Concubine Xi, I'm better than you. You haven't even seen the face of the emperor..."

A few people on the other side of the rockery started arguing, a little palace lady somehow turned to the rockery side, saw someone standing there in the promenade, who seemed to be eavesdropping, and hurriedly yelled: "Who is eavesdropping there... ...Qi... Concubine Qi is auspicious! Please forgive me! I don’t know if this servant is here..."

As soon as she reprimanded, she saw Shuyue next to her clearly.Rao she didn't know Concubine Qi very well, but she knew Sou Yue.Sou Yue is the aunt who is in charge of the Chengqian Palace. They are court ladies, and they figured out these things on the first day they entered the palace.

After her exclamation, the voice behind the rockery stopped abruptly.An immature-looking woman turned around, then knelt down, and then no one turned around again.

Concubine Qi glanced at them coldly, the arrogance in her bones made her unconsciously show contempt when she saw such a tender promise.She didn't say anything, and she didn't bother to find out why the person hiding on the other side of the rockery didn't come out to salute, but let Shuyue support her, and continued to walk along the corridor.

After people walked away, Xiao Xu, who was kneeling beside the rockery, stood up wiping off his cold sweat.

At this time, Su promised to also poke her head over from Jiajia's side: "Going away?" Looking at the back of Concubine Qi going away, she snorted coldly through her nose, "It's just an old woman who hasn't been around for a few years It's beautiful! Hmph!"

"Sister Su is right. In the future, my sister will be famous, so don't forget about my sister." Xiao Xu promised to put a smile on her face, and moved towards Su Ying's side in a fawning manner...

On May [-]th, the Qianqiu Festival, the queen went to the Jiaotai Hall to accept the congratulations from the officials, and then watched a few songs and dances with the emperor, drank a few glasses of wine, and had to deal with the hundreds of officials. The officer's wife came forward to congratulate her sincerely or flatteringly... After half a day, she was too tired to lift her waist.

There was also a dinner party in the Yongshou Palace early in the morning, and it was Concubine Xi, Concubine Yu and the others who insisted on congratulating her, so she acquiesced without acknowledging their kindness.So after she had been dignified in the Jiaotai Hall for half a day, seeing that everyone was eating and drinking, she left the table dignifiedly.

When they returned to Yongshou Palace, they found that Yanhua hadn't been extravagant, but sent someone to decorate the main hall of Yongshou Palace, and the decoration was not so vulgar.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. When she looked up, she saw several large vases in the main hall filled with light pink peach blossoms, which were in full bloom and extremely beautiful.She was wondering why there were still peach blossoms at this time, but when she got closer, she realized that they were all fake.

"These flowers are fake, so where does the fragrance come from? It smells like the real thing." After Mu Jin helped the queen to sit down, she rubbed her shoulders.Seeing Yanhua giggling, the queen felt very kind.

"After the peach blossoms in the imperial garden bloomed in March, my concubine asked Lingxi to pick many petals, dried them and put them in sachets. These vases were stuffed with a lot of sachets, so that the fragrance of peach blossoms lingered .” Yan Hua is not the type to like to organize such things, she thinks it takes too much effort.However, when she was falsely accused of being pregnant, she saw people in Jingren Palace congratulate her. Although it was not extravagant, it warmed her heart.So this time on the queen's birthday, she couldn't help but let the queen warm her heart.

Xiaoxiao was raised very well by the empress, she is seven years old now, she should have been sent to elder brother's house to be raised, but the empress insisted on being raised in the Yongshou Palace.Yanhua is very grateful for this, that's why she made this move today, so she can express her gratitude.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi and Lady Wu are here."

"Ma'am, Su promised to come, Gu promised to come..."

After a while, people came from all the palaces one after another, the queen was weak, so she asked Mu Jin to stop those promises outside, and she only kowtowed outside the main hall to say congratulations before leaving.The empress only kept a few old people in the hidden mansion, watching the singing, dancing and juggling that Concubine Xi prepared for the empress together, it was quiet and pleasant.

Concubine Qi felt uncomfortable when she saw the Empress and Concubine Xi talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and whispering a few whispers to each other from time to time.Her son was in such a state of desperation, but they were able to laugh and laugh together.She used to think that she would be extremely honorable in the future, but now, she can only sigh.

Yanhua inadvertently caught a glimpse of Concubine Qi who had been seriously ill for the past two months, and felt that she was suddenly very old, and she couldn't help showing sympathy in her eyes. curled his lips.She despised her soft-heartedness just now: Why do you have to sympathize with people like Concubine Qi, she has done a lot of evil and killed many people.
