More than a month has passed by in the blink of an eye. Counting the days, it will be the Hungry Ghost Festival in two days. According to custom, there will be a grand sacrificial banquet in the palace, and the emperor will take many concubines to the Ancestral Temple to worship their ancestors.
The sun is getting hotter and hotter, like a furnace.
After noon, Qin'er got up after sleeping for a while. She was so hot that her head and face were covered with sweat, and the palace maids waving fans beside her were also tired.
She told them to rest.
While taking off his clothes, he was thinking about asking someone to bring a bucket of water in for a shower.
At this time, I have to think of the comfort of air conditioning, and it doesn't have to be as uncomfortable as the heat that makes my whole body sticky.
Wait a minute! She raised her little paws, put one hand on her waist, and suddenly clenched her fist, "Why am I so stupid? I didn't expect this? Tianer, wintersweet, small buns, small beans, small millet, wheat seeds!!"
"Empress!" Several people rushed over immediately.
"Come on." She raised her fingers towards them all, and a few round heads immediately came up to them.
After taking a nice shower and wiping off the wet sweat all over her body, Qin'er was in high spirits, put on a homemade strapless and thigh-high silk pajamas, and walked around the house happily.
The little buns, little beans, little millet, and wheatzi that came in carrying several buckets of ice cubes couldn't help but roll their eyes at the sky.
"Your Majesty, why are you dressed like this?" Tian'er was frightened to death and hurriedly took a coat and put it on her.
"What does it matter?" A certain empress curled her lips, "There are no outsiders here. I'm almost dying of heat. Don't put me on. I'll be covered in stinky sweat after a while!"
"Okay, okay, these buckets of ice can last for a while." Several maids kept fanning around the ice buckets, "Have you felt the cool breeze, my queen?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." She sat cross-legged on the soft couch and looked at the wintersweet with a smile as she hurried in carrying a square frozen wooden box. "Haha, you all are in for a treat today, come here.
Eat it, my mother-in-law, I made it myself. Sweet orange flavor! Popsicle! Hehe."
"Possicles?" Everyone looked at each other and gathered around the square wooden box with billowing white mist.
Qin'er went over and opened up the thick quilt covering it, dug out a handful of homemade orange popsicles, and handed one to each of them, "Come on, come on, you're welcome, everyone comes to eat, and we'll make it after eating."
Wintersweet, you have the greatest credit, you discovered the underground ice cellar, haha, I will reward you with two."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Yeah! This popsicle is sweet, so iced and refreshing."
"Of course." Qin'er climbed onto the soft couch and waved her hand, "Anyway, there won't be anyone around since it's so hot outside in the afternoon, so don't go out. Just find a place to rest. I'm going to sleep."
Having enough to eat and drink, and then having a good night's sleep is simply one of the great pleasures in life!
An hour later.
Was awakened from a deep sleep by noisy laughter.
Qin'er rubbed her eyes and sat up, wrapping Tian'er's coat around her, "Who is here?"
"Empress De Fei, Concubine Ni, came to visit."
"I have nothing to say to them." Yun Qin hasn't had enough sleep yet.
"Then please go out and ask the two ladies to leave."
"Wait a minute." Yun Qin sighed, "Let's go and have a look." Otherwise, it would be troublesome!
After some estrangement, get ready.
The bedroom door was pushed open.
Light penetrates.
Concubine De and Concubine Ni came in together, smiling and looking around at the ice bucket with billowing white mist, "I've seen the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is really good at enjoying happiness. The servants also enjoyed all the blessings."
So much ice is wasted on cooling.
Qin'er also knew that the ice was precious, and she didn't want to squander it, but the weather was so ridiculously hot that she didn't want to find a way to get it out. Could she wait for it to be cooked?
"The two sisters came here today just to tell me this?" Qin'er raised her eyebrows.
"Oh no." The three of them moved to the small nanmu table by the window and sat down.
Concubine Ni smiled and glanced at Concubine De, who said, "I want to ask the imperial concubine if she has ever heard about the Ming nobleman?"
"What does her matter have to do with me?"
"Haha, Imperial Concubine, don't you care at all? Rumors are spreading in the palace, saying that the Ming nobleman is about to ascend to heaven and be canonized as empress by the Emperor. Imperial Concubine, are you really not interested in knowing at all?"
Tian'er stood beside Yun Qin, her mouth flattened, showing an extremely disdainful expression, and she rolled her eyes at the talkative Concubine De.
These two empresses made it clear that they were here to watch the imperial concubine's show, and they really didn't care about anything.
They knew that the emperor had not set foot in Fengluan Palace for almost half a month, so they said this clearly to stimulate their poor imperial concubine.
The maids and eunuchs of Fengluan Palace all unanimously reached a consensus that they would never talk nonsense in front of the empress. They even never mentioned the word "mingguiren" for fear of upsetting the empress.
Fortunately now, once these two women got mixed up, all the efforts were in vain.
Concubine Ni also smiled gracefully, "There are rumors in the palace that the imperial concubine has fallen out of favor, but I don't think so. The emperor just ignored the imperial concubine due to temporary greed... given time, he will definitely change his mind."
She couldn't tell what she was coveting. In terms of youth and beauty, none of the 110,000 Ming nobles could compare to the imperial concubine. But the emperor got so inexplicably close to Ming nobles and stayed in Ming nobles' house every day these days.
Xihuacai is inseparable, which is really enviable to others.
Little sister Qin'er secretly sharpened her teeth.
Although the emperor had told her well before that everything was just a show, she didn't feel very happy hearing it.
Rumors spread in this palace at the speed of light, and it didn't take long for rumors to spread that she had fallen out of favor.
It seems that many people still take a gloating attitude.
Thinking about it, after all, the imperial concubine is not a legend of everlasting favor. The imperial concubine is just an ordinary woman. Once she got pregnant, the emperor kicked her bloated body and went to find other women for entertainment. It seems that
They are not without a chance. Even the plain-looking noble man can be favored, so why can't they get holy favor?
"By the way, I haven't congratulated the imperial concubine yet. The imperial concubine is pregnant with dragon veins. She usually needs to take a good rest to recuperate her body and give birth to the little prince smoothly. For other things, just relax and don't think about anything else. Wait until the child is born.
Get down and make plans again."
Concubine De's words were particularly piercing to the ears. She meant that you can't serve the emperor with your fat body now, so just go away and cool down. I can't get you if I want to. Who made you pregnant with a dragon fetus and became famous for a while?
, now he has tasted the bitter fruit and pushed the emperor out with his own hands, he deserves it!
After sending away these two women with ulterior motives, Qin'er kept walking back and forth in the dormitory, with a lot of sweat on her head and her big eyes almost smoldering!
