Chapter 118
After Lu Huiling became a concubine, everyone in the harem stared at Minghua Hall. She suddenly killed two maids with a stick, which made the concubines feel as if they had caught their tails. They did not want to go to the emperor to tell them, so they all went to Yichun Hall.
Come and complain to Concubine Mei.
The emperor had recently prohibited his concubines from lynching people in the palace. Lu Huiling was so violent as soon as he was enthroned, and the concubines couldn't help but be surprised: Was she ignorant and fearless in doing so, or was she so arrogant because of her favor?
The concubines who had ridiculed Concubine Mei not long ago suddenly had a new common enemy. They did not want to be the one who stood out, so they had to take the initiative to find Concubine Mei and ask her to stand up for them.
Xia Rongxin was dressing up under the service of Aunt Yunxi. She asked Rongfu to go to the Qinzheng Palace to see that Eunuch He was not in the palace. The eunuch guarding the door said that the emperor was dealing with government affairs and would not have time to see her until noon.
So Xia Rongxin no longer used the imperial meal, and adjusted her condition bit by bit. However, every time she thought of the emperor naming Lu Huiling as the concubine, her tears couldn't stop flowing down. The emperor did this and let her go.
In my heart? I treat her like nothing.
Xia Rongxin spent the best time of her life to become the fourth concubine. During this period, she went to hell twice and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Qi Bingyu. Is she still no match for Lu Huiling, who only looks similar to Lu Fushuang?
The whites of Xia Rongxin's eyes were red from crying and her eyelids were slightly red and swollen, but she did not want to appear so stingy in front of the emperor. She had to maintain the dignity and self-control she had accumulated over the years.
Lu Fushuang's jealousy aroused the emperor's disgust at the beginning, which led to the tragedy of being unable to face the saint before her death. So what if she prospered after death, and what if she was given the posthumous title of Ming Xian? They are all false.
Xia Rongxin will not follow Lu Fushuang's old path, but she wants the emperor to know that she is the only one in the entire harem who treats him sincerely.
"Mei Fei, Concubine An Gui, Concubine Yan and Gui Zhi would like to see you." Rong Fu reported outside the door.
The empresses in the harem did not have high status, the highest one only reached the rank of fourth concubine, and the little princess who was married from afar from the tribe only reached the rank of concubine. This made Lu Huiling the target of public criticism.
Yun Xi stopped combing her hair, looked at Concubine Mei in the bronze mirror, and asked softly: "Concubine, see you?"
Yun Xi was worried that Concubine Mei would be depressed at this time. Ever since she found out that Lu Huiling was on an equal footing with her, she felt even more uncomfortable and secretly cried for a long time.
On an equal footing with her, as the fourth concubine in charge, Lu Huiling didn't even have to pay her respects after taking the throne, which made Xia Rongxin even more angry.
Xia Rongxin looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said with ridicule in her eyes: "Shouldn't I go to Lu Huiling's place to become familiar with you now? What are you doing here?"
Then he opened the jade box of the armor, picked out a piece of armor for his little finger and put it on. He pondered for a moment and said, "Send them in."
She would like to see what these guys who act according to the current situation are going to do.
By the time Concubine An Gui, Concubine Yan and Guiren Zhi all entered the Yichun Palace, Xia Rongxin was already sitting on the main seat dignifiedly and self-possessed, with an indifferent smile on her face and at the corners of her mouth, giving her the aura of being the first in the palace.
The more it was at this time, the less likely it was for others to see the grief in her heart.
Xia Rongxin was a concubine who climbed all the way up from the bottom of the harem. It was not easy for her to successfully give birth to two healthy and lively children during the period when the harem was at its peak. Lu Furshuang became the highest-ranking concubine in the harem for a time after her death.
And the most beloved concubine, her weakness and powerlessness cannot be easily revealed.
"I see you, Concubine Mei. May Concubine Mei be blessed and safe." Concubine An, Concubine Yan and Concubine Zhe said in unison.
Xia Rongxin looked at them and felt that it was extremely ridiculous. Concubine An Gui, who had previously been sarcastic and sarcastic towards her in the imperial garden, was now bowing down to her calmly. This scene was really ridiculous.
"Sisters, there is no need to be polite, please get up." Xia Rongxin said solemnly and self-possessed, "Yun Xi, watch the tea."
"Yes." Yun Xi took several palace maids and served them all a cup of fragrant tea.
"You're welcome, sisters. It's dry in autumn. It's good for you to drink more hot tea." Xia Rongxin picked up the tea and said to them, "Now we no longer only care about our faces, our bodies are the most important. Again
No matter how hard you try, you can't compare to the young one."
Now the youngest concubine in the harem is naturally Lu Huiling. Xia Rongxin's words have profound meaning. She pretends to be generous and advises everyone not to be jealous of Lu Huiling. After all, they are already old and yellow, so it is better to cherish your own body.
After hearing this, Concubine An naturally understood that there was something in Concubine Mei's words, but now she couldn't care less about quarreling with her.
"What Concubine Mei said is true, so the sisters will naturally obey you." Concubine An Gui smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip, praising: "The tea in the concubine's palace is really different from that in the concubine's palace. After all, it is still very popular."
The Emperor’s favorite.”
Xia Rongxin smiled, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
"Does Concubine Mei know that a big event happened in the palace today?" Yan Bin is a little princess from the grassland tribe. She has an impatient temper and can't let go of things. Instead of listening to the two of them dealing with each other in confusion, it would be better to do it herself.
Open your mouth.
"I have to worry about all the big and small things in the palace every day. I wonder what big thing Yanbi is talking about?" Xia Rongxin asked knowingly.
"Of course it's the matter of Lu Huiling, the newly promoted head of Minghua Hall, Concubine Ming. Isn't Concubine Mei anxious?" Yan Bi said anxiously, frowning.
"When Concubine Ming came to power, she killed two palace maids with a cane. Did Concubine Mei not care about it?" Zhi Guiren added.
Xia Rongxin smiled coldly in her heart: I said, "If they don't go to Minghua Hall today, why do they come to my Yichun Hall?" It turns out that they think they can't compete with Lu Huiling in everything, so they want to use me as a spearman.
"The new fourth concubine in Minghua Hall is the new head concubine... I naturally know about it." Xia Rongxin said softly, then pretended to be surprised and said, "But Ming Concubine's sister suddenly killed two palace ladies with a stick, I really don't know."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ming disregarded the palace rules as soon as she came to power. What should I do with my concubines and others who abide by the palace rules? Your Majesty is kind to Xiaoyu Liugong, and she is a virtuous and virtuous concubine who can take care of the emperor's worries.
, How can the empress just sit idly by and ignore such a thing?" Yan Bin followed her words and said.
"After all, I am not the queen. Furthermore, Concubine Ming's sister has the same status as me, and now she is a hot palace servant in front of the emperor. Even when she is not a concubine, when she is in the Qinzheng Palace, I will go find her.
The emperor often doesn't see you, and I am too full of ambition but not strong enough." Xia Rongxin said slowly.
"Lu Huiling must be too abominable! It's not easy to be the daughter of the prime minister, why do you have to come to the harem to share your favor with us?" Concubine An Gui listened on the side and couldn't help complaining.
Xia Rongxin looked at their indignant looks and couldn't help but smile: I want to see how Lu Huiling can survive in the harem now.
She said this deliberately to arouse the jealousy of the concubines here. As long as they were jealous, they would definitely find ways to embarrass Lu Huiling, and she would just reap the benefits.
"Okay, what's the point of saying this now? Just do your own thing." Xia Rongxin held her head, "I'm tired, sisters, please go back."
