The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 548
After the selection of the show girls, due to Fuhui's death, the follow-up arrangement for them to enter the palace was postponed until the seventh year of Yongzheng.

On the New Year's Eve of the seventh year of Yongzheng, Yinzhen only asked Yanhua to arrange a small family banquet, and everyone had dinner together.Snowflakes were flying outside, spinning and dancing one by one in the air, and soon covered the entire Forbidden City with a holy plain garment.

Yinzhen accompanies them to enjoy the snow and eat, occasionally mixed with a few children's cries, very lively.The happy appearance almost made him forget about Fuhuishang's death.

Under such a warm and peaceful surface, there is an unknown undercurrent surging.

An old eunuch grabbed another eunuch, took him into a remote place, and asked, "What are you doing?" He looked at the soup that the eunuch was holding in his hand, his eyes were dark.

"Poison him to death!" the eunuch gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"He's the emperor, do you really think it's so easy to poison him to death? You put poison in this soup this time, not only won't the poison kill him, but you will scare the snake!"

The eunuch who poisoned was stunned for a moment, then frowned again: "If you don't die from the poison, you have to try..."

"Would you be worthy of Eighth Master's spirit in heaven if you do this? Don't talk about revenge, even the big guys will be dragged out by you, and there will be no possibility of revenge!"

Then, when the eunuch who poisoned him was hesitating, the old eunuch who obstructed him quickly pulled him to a place where there were people, and then lightly pinched his arm, causing him to suffer the pain and knock over the soup in his hand Soup.

"What's going on! The emperor is still waiting, be careful not to lose your head if you are clumsy! Hurry up and get another cup and send it to the emperor!"

"Eunuch Zhang, what's the matter?" A little court lady stepped forward, saw the overturned soup, and stamped her foot, "Hurry up and change a cup, the emperor wants to drink soup!" It turned out that the old eunuch just now, really Eunuch Zhang Lizi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Hey!" The eunuch quickly retreated.

Zhang Lizi called a little eunuch over: "Clean up here quickly."

Just as Zhang Lizi was about to leave, he heard another court lady calling him: "Eunuch Zhang? Eunuch Zhang, stay here!"

He was slightly puzzled, and looked at the serving eunuch who was going away, feeling a little uneasy.He was worried that the man would not listen to him and poison himself.

But when he turned around, he put on a smiling face, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the person: "Eh? Isn't this... Du Ruo from Jingren Palace? Are you looking for something for me?"

Du Ruo smiled sweetly, and blessed herself slightly: "I wonder if my father-in-law is free? Aunt Lingxi is here to invite you."

Zhang Lizi was at a loss, paused and then quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I'm not familiar with Lingxi, so how can we have a private meeting in full view, it's not good to be watched and talk nonsense..."

Du Ruo rolled her eyes: "Eunuch Zhang, what are you talking about? How can you play tricks on me? Aunt Lingxi is following the words of Concubine Xi. I have something to ask you, Eunuch."

Zhang Lizi looked around in embarrassment: "Look, my son can't get away right now... What is your mother asking?" He thought for a while, and then said, "Is it because of the big August?" , Lingxi sent someone to escort the two maids here? You can let the empress rest assured, I have already reprimanded them..."

Du Ruo looked at him suspiciously: "I'm not in such a hurry to ask Eunuch, Eunuch is busy, I'll come to find Eunuch when I'm free. Aunt Lingxi said that she would ask Eunuch in person, and she never had a chance to see Eunuch , I must ask after seeing him."

Zhang Lizi nodded: "That's... that's fine, let's talk about it after I'm done with the matter at hand."

Not long after Du Ruo left, a little eunuch came over and called Zhang Lizi: "Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Su is calling you."

"Hey, I'll go." Zhang Lizi responded, frowning slightly, and the moment he lowered his head to wipe his sweat, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.If the emperor hadn't personally supported Su Peisheng, where would Su Peisheng be today?If Su Peisheng hadn't blocked his way, he would have been the chief eunuch.

When he hurried to Su Peisheng, Su Peisheng was standing in the corner watching what was going on with Concubine Xi.After seeing Zhang Lizi approaching, he asked in a low voice, "Concubine Xi sent someone to look for you? What's the matter?"

"He said he had something to ask, but he didn't say what he wanted to ask. He just said that it was rare for him to bump into me, so he must ask clearly today." Zhang Lizi glanced at Su Peisheng, then lowered his head again.

Su Peisheng pondered for a while, and told him: "Nonsense words are the most taboo in the palace, and there is nothing wrong with keeping everything secret. I asked you something later, and you can tell me afterward."

"Ah, I see." Zhang Lizi nodded, and retreated with his head down.

Su Peisheng looked at Concubine Xi again worriedly, there were some things that maybe he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.Two months ago, Xiao Yu'er asked him about Qian Gui, saying that he had heard that Qian Gui had been beheaded, so he came here to ask if it was true.He scolded Xiao Yuer and dismissed the matter.Xiao Yu'er is his apprentice, so he will believe his words, but now Concubine Xi is looking for Zhang Lizi again, maybe she also wants to ask about this matter.

Xiao Yu'er also told Su Peisheng what the two maids had said to Lingxi. Su Peisheng was very surprised. He didn't know how the two maids knew about those things. He also asked Zhang Lizi, Zhang Li Zi said he didn't know about those things.When Su Peisheng asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to interrogate the two maids, he knew that they had already committed suicide.

Suicide is not allowed in the palace. Before the maids enter the palace, Aunt Jiaoxi will explain to them the consequences of suicide, so ordinary people dare not commit suicide.Those court ladies who have family members, as long as they cherish the lives of their family members, dare not do such things.But these two court ladies hanged themselves together, which is really strange.

But when Su Peisheng found out about this, the bodies of the two court ladies had already rotted in the mass graves, and he had no way of finding out.He only felt that the palace was not very peaceful recently, but he couldn't say exactly where it was not peaceful.

However, no matter what, Concubine Xi must not be allowed to know about Qian Gui.The emperor didn't let Concubine Xi know about this, it was also to protect her, it's really not good if things get bigger.

When Yanhua hugged Hong En to watch the song and dance, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Du Ruo coming back, and called her to her side: "Where have you been?"

Du Ruo froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Lingxi.Lingxi hurriedly said: "I asked her to ask when the fireworks will be set off."

"Don't you think I don't know anything, I'll take care of you when I go back." Yan Hua gave them a blank look, then turned around and fed Hong En some sweet cakes.

Du Ruo exhaled lightly, and was pulled aside by Lingxi: "Why didn't people come?"

"Eunuch Zhang is too busy, I will invite my son later."

"Hurry up, I've already called him by the name of my mother, if he still refuses to come, there must be something wrong." Lingxi spat angrily, the voice was a little louder than before, causing Yanhua to look sideways, she hurriedly closed He pursed his lips, walked forward sullenly and waited beside Yan Hua.

After a while, the snow outside began to rise one after another.

Hong En was wrapped up like a zongzi, but he was very interested in the white snowflakes, so he kept pulling Yanhua to run outside, wanting to pick up two pieces for fun: "Er Niang, yes, yes, snow... "

"It's cold outside, if you don't go out, just watch inside, okay?" Yan Hua held him in her arms, coaxing him softly.

At this time, Hongli also walked over with his daughter who was less than three months old in his arms: "Hong En, good boy, you must listen to Er Niang."

Children's attention is easily diverted. When Hong En saw the little doll in Hongli's hand, he pointed at her and smiled foolishly: "Sister, sister..."

Yanhua laughed "puchi", pinched Hong En's little face, and said lovingly: "She wants to call you uncle, not your sister."

"Sister, sister..." Hong En got excited, waving his little hands to play with "sister".

Yan Hua had no choice but to divert Hong En's attention: "Hey, look outside, there will be fireworks, all kinds of beautiful colors, blooming in the sky, do you like to see them? Er Niang will show you the flowers in the sky, okay?" ?”

Children are easy to coax, Hong En really didn't think about his "sister" any more, and immediately went out to look at the snow again.A pair of black and bright eyes, wide open, just waiting to see the colorful flowers blooming in the sky.But after staring for a long while, he didn't see the fireworks, so he couldn't bear his temper again, and went to pick up snowflakes to play.

At this time, Yinzhen came out and took Hongen from Yanhua's hand: "Huang Ama will pick up snowflakes for you to play with."

He chuckled, stretched out a palm to catch the snow for a while, the snowflakes melted in the heat, and when he put his palm in front of Hong En's eyes, more than half of the snowflakes had melted.

Hong En stretched out his small hand and carefully touched the unmelted white snow in his palm. After touching a little bit of coldness, he immediately shrank back, and then smiled at Yan Hua with a small grin. : "Snowflake, snowflake."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then looked at Yanhua suspiciously: "How come he can only speak a few words, isn't he stupid?"

Yan Hua's expression changed when she heard the words, and she immediately snatched Hong En from his arms: "If the emperor keeps talking nonsense, the concubine will be angry. When Hongli was young, the emperor said Hongli was a fool. Now he Didn’t he grow tall and smart? The child is still young, so of course he can’t say the whole thing, and the emperor deliberately said such words to make his concubine angry!”

Hongli, who had just handed his daughter back to the nanny, couldn't help feeling ashamed when he heard such words as soon as he came out.It turned out that Huang Ama used to say that he was a fool...how could he not remember at all?
He twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, raised his head just in time to meet Huang Ama's slightly cold eyes, and hurriedly walked over: "Hong En is still young, of course he is not good at talking, Huang Ama said so about him, he It will make you sad if you find out later.”

Yanhua heard the words, and snorted twice: "No, how could the emperor say that about the concubine's child. Hongli and Xiaoxiao, which one is not very smart?"

There was a sound of "Boom~", and suddenly remembered a sound that was caught off guard. Hongli hurriedly followed the sound, but saw a colorful scene rushing over suddenly.

"Erniang, be careful!" Hongli didn't care about Yinzhen at all, and quickly put his back in front of Yanhua and Hongen to protect them.
