In the early morning, a heavy rain washed away the dirt between the sky and the earth. After the rain, the sky cleared and the air was extremely fresh.
However, the Cining Palace at this time seemed a bit depressing.
"What's going on? No news after so long?" In Cining Palace, two figures in gorgeous clothes were talking in a low voice.
One of them is the Queen Mother. God seems to be particularly fond of her. Her well-maintained face has smooth and delicate skin, and no traces of time can be seen on her face. A gorgeous dress embroidered with colorful golden phoenixes is draped over her face.
She is graceful and luxurious. She has been pampered for a long time, so that she does not need to show off deliberately, and she can control herself without being angry.
The other woman is wearing a pale golden palace dress, but she has a bit of compelling nobility when she is quiet. Her broad body is meandering behind her, elegant and gorgeous. Her black jade-like black hair is tied into a tall beauty.
A bun. A few full and round pearls are scattered in the hair, making the dark cloud-like hair appear softer, brighter and moisturized. Beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and the splendor is overflowing, but at this time, it seems a little aggrieved.
"Aunt, this is not my fault. Every time the emperor comes, he leaves before dawn. Moreover, every time before the emperor leaves, he orders the experienced maids to
The medicine was brought to me, but I had to drink it..."
"Will you drink it when they ask you to? Xueyi, you are the future queen. You can't cope with just a few concubines? How will you fight with other concubines in the palace in the future? Xueyi, you have to work harder...
..." The Queen Mother said earnestly. Now, she felt more and more that her prince was gradually out of her control. What should I do? It would be better to have the prince be born as soon as possible, so as to save her money.
Worrying about the future, the fierce look in her eyes tore apart the Queen Mother's originally kind and gentle disguise.
"Go down and think about it carefully. It's not easy to gain a foothold in this harem. You have to make a good plan for yourself."
The Queen Mother said a little tiredly, gently stroked her forehead, waved her hand, and asked Xueyi to retreat.
"Yes, aunt." Xueyi was a little disapproving, but she still bowed and left calmly.
My aunt is true. Who else in the harem has a status comparable to hers? Her father is the censor, and her aunt is the queen mother. They are both below one person and above ten thousand people. And soon her brother will also
Under the arrangement of her father and aunt, she entered the court and became an official. By then, her Yuwen family would be so honored that it was unimaginable. She didn't have to fight at all, and the position of queen was firmly in her hands. Even if there were others
If she really overestimates her abilities and dares to compete with her, she will do whatever it takes to let those bitches have a taste of her power!
Zhaoming Palace.
"Hey, have you heard? The emperor rested at Yingxue Palace last night."
"How could you not know? Last night, Yingxue Palace was as bright as day, just to welcome the emperor's royal carriage."
"Shh! Don't let your Majesty hear this, otherwise she will be sad later..."
"Well, stop talking and just do the work."
The palace maid outside the bedroom whispered quietly, and in the end, she gradually became silent.
Nangong Yuming sat alone by the window, listening to the whispers outside the room, and looking at the broken flowers blown down by the rain and wind in the yard, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Flowers never last forever, she has known this for a long time, right?
She was also a talented woman who was familiar with poetry and books, but she entered the palace in the draft three years ago. From then on, her heart fell on the emperor Jun Moli.
She is not an ambitious woman, she just wants to wait quietly in Zhaoming Palace, beside the emperor she loves.
The emperor has many things to do every day. Moreover, there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Although she is a noble concubine, how can she often see the emperor? That's why she boldly asked the emperor to let her have a child, the prince.
It doesn't matter if it's a princess, as long as it's the emperor and her child, she will cherish it like a treasure.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's rebellion suddenly broke out. The moody emperor ordered her to copy Buddhist scriptures in the palace within half a year. When her father learned of her situation, he confronted the emperor in the court and almost lost his official position.
.
Now, having the honor to return to the Emperor is a gift from God. She no longer desires anything extravagant.
It's just that she was loved by three thousand people back then, but now she can only guard the empty palace alone. How can this make her feel so embarrassed?
In recent days, whenever her father corresponded with her, he never forgot to tell her to stay safe and not to anger the emperor.
Although she didn't understand why her father was so nervous, she was not a careless person. For the sake of her father and the Nangong family, no matter what, she would stay calm in the future.
"My Lady, the weather is just right, why don't I ask my servant to accompany you for a walk in the Imperial Garden. A few days ago, a batch of exotic flowers and plants came into the Imperial Garden. It's a good time to go and see them." The name of the palace maid who spoke was
Mingyue, her personal maid, has been with her since she entered the palace.
He understood that Mingyue was afraid that she would be bored if she stayed in the palace all day, so she proposed to accompany her for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Thinking of this, Nangong Yuming could not help but feel warm in her heart.
"Well, let's go then." Just take it as a walk to relax.
In the Imperial Garden after the rain, the fragrance of the grass is particularly refreshing. The flowers have been moistened by the rain and dew all night. Under the sunshine and covered with dew, they look even more delicate. The exotic flowers and grasses compete for beauty, attracting bees and butterflies.
Competing around.
Nangong Yuming, led by Mingyue, came to the pavilion in the Imperial Garden.
Sitting in the pavilion, looking at the vitality displayed by the flowers, Nangong Yuming couldn't help but sweep away the gloom of not being able to see the emperor for days, and revealed a beautiful smile.
"Hey, sister is so elegant. She came here to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone. I didn't ask my sister to come and enjoy it together." I turned around and saw that it was Concubine Shu.
I saw Concubine Shu coming to the pavilion with the help of the palace maid.
The graceful figure bowed slightly and bowed to Nangong Yuming, "I've met my sister."
"When did my sister get so free? Come, come and sit." Nangong Yuming smiled gently and called for people to come and sit.
"Sister, have you heard that the Emperor visited Yu Wen Xueyi last night?" the low voice asked, with obvious resentment, said in a deep voice.
"No, I have been copying Buddhist scriptures in the palace these days, preparing to use them when the Queen Mother comes to celebrate her birthday. I don't pay much attention to these..." As if someone had opened the wound with a knife, Nangong Yuming
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and answered in a calm tone.
"Sister, how can your fighting spirit be so low? Yu Wen Xueyi is nothing, she just relies on the support of the Queen Mother. Having said that, aren't you also the Queen Mother's niece? You should also let the Queen Mother make the decision.
..." Shangguan Qing'er said with indignation as if she hated iron.
"What are you talking about, sister? Both of you are just the emperor's concubines. Why should you be so angry with your own sisters?" Nangong Yuming continued to say in a gentle tone.
"Sister, you..." Noticing the difference in Nangong Yuming, the kind of non-fighting, which is really rare. Shangguan Qing'er was also a little surprised.
"Both sisters are here." The speaker was Yuwen Xueyi, who had returned from the Cining Palace to greet her. She was passing by the Royal Garden and saw the other two concubines in the pavilion, so she simply walked towards the pavilion.
Yu Wen Xueyi, who was smiling a little arrogantly, entered the pavilion. When she saw Nangong Yuming, who was one rank higher than herself, she didn't show any courtesy and just sat down on the chair on the other side.
"Concubine Xue, didn't your censor at home teach you the etiquette you should abide by after entering the palace? Don't you know how to salute when you meet the virtuous concubine?" Shangguan Qing'er was a little dissatisfied with Yu Wen Xueyi's domineering attitude and asked.
.
"Sister, it's okay. They are all my sisters, why do they need to be so exposed?" Nangong Yuming planned to put an end to the matter.
"Oh? When did Concubine Shu become so nosy?" With a contemptuous glance at Shangguan Qing'er, Yuwen Xueyi turned to explain to Nangong Yuming, "Sister, forgive me, I have no choice but to do so. You too
I know, the emperor was at my concubine’s place last night... My whole body is sore today, so it’s really inconvenient for me to salute..." The words were clearly apologetic, but they sounded a little proud.
"It's rare for my sister to win the emperor's favor like this, so I have to serve the emperor wholeheartedly. It's getting late, so I'll go back to the palace first. Sisters, you can continue chatting." Nangong Yuming smiled forcefully, and couldn't wait to go back.
Go to your bedroom.
"Sister, go slowly, I am also preparing to return to the palace. Concubine Xue, I really congratulate you. I wonder, did Aunt Gui bring you the bowl of 'toning soup' this morning?" Deliberately saying "toning."
The word "soup" was emphasized in the tone, and Shangguan Qing'er sneered and pretended to congratulate her. If she really won the emperor's favor, how could she continue to drink that bowl of medicine? She thought she was really different. She was really overestimating her abilities.
Nangong Yuming, who was about to leave, heard Shangguan Qing'er's words when she stepped out of the pavilion, and her uncomfortable mood could not help but feel a little relieved. It turned out that she had also been given medicine. Taking a deep breath,
Nangong Yuming then walked towards the direction of his bedroom.
Seeing the two of them walking out of the pavilion, Yuwen Xueyi gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Shangguan Qing'er's leaving figure.
Yuwen Xueyi lost interest at Shangguan Qing'er's seemingly nonchalant sarcasm. She waved her hand to the maid behind her and whispered the instructions. After that, she hurried back to her palace. And Xiao Hong,
But walked in the other direction.
Yuwen Xueyi, who returned to the palace, walked back and forth from time to time.
"Damn Shangguan Qing'er, who do you think you are? You dare to mock me!" He swept the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground, still not satisfied. He looked around for something to smash to get discouraged.
"Empress, what's going on? Who messed with you?" After receiving Xiaohong's message, Yu Wenliang rushed to the palace. In the name of visiting the empress, he came to Yingxue Palace.
"Dad, you have to help me..." Seeing Yu Wenliang, Yuwen Xueyi covered her face and cried.
"What's wrong, my dear? Tell me, sir." Yu Wenliang comforted her softly while instructing the palace attendants to clean the house.
"I was humiliated by the concubine Shu and the concubine Xian in the Imperial Garden today! You have to uphold justice for your daughter." Yuwen Xueyi regained her composure a little and wiped away her tears. Then she told Yuwen Liang with added jealousy.
What happened in the gazebo.
"This is unreasonable, it's just too much!" Yu Wenliang couldn't help but blushed with anger.
"Dad, I don't care, I must become the queen, and when the time comes, I must personally deal with them! Dad, help me." Yuwen Xueyi said fiercely, and her originally bright and gorgeous face actually became a little distorted when she spoke.
.
"My dear, it's not easy to become the queen. At least it's not the time yet." Yu Wenliang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"This is not the time! This is not the time! Every time I say it, you will only say this. I don't care, dad, I want you to make those old ladies who give the medicine ours at all costs. This way
, I have the chance to be pregnant with a dragon! Once I am pregnant with a dragon, the position of queen will be within my reach!" When she becomes queen, she will not let go of any of those women!
"This... Your Majesty, let me think about it for a moment. It's not so easy to put people in the palace recently..." He felt that the emperor seemed to have noticed it. He had to be more careful recently, otherwise, if he was discovered,
Then all his years of planning would be in vain.
"In a word, can you help me?" Yuwen Xueyi saw the hesitant look on Yu Wenliang's face and drank arrogantly.
"Mom, please be patient. Okay, I'll give it a try, veteran." Seeing Yu Wen Xueyi's somewhat hysterical look, Yu Wenliang sighed inwardly and had no choice but to agree.
"Then it's hard work for daddy." She didn't believe that she couldn't get pregnant this time! Humph!
