Concubine Cheng turned around and turned back. She felt that the cold wind was getting stronger, so she had to hurry up and go to Changchun Palace.
Song Pingting was doing this in the main hall of the Changchun Palace where she was a concubine. She was stuffing cotton into the tiger head hat. She deliberately added more, and from time to time she compared it with the head of the seventh elder brother Yinyou. She felt that it was quite good. Okay, so I lowered my head and embroidered carefully, stitch by stitch.
Suddenly, the door opened with a creak, and Song Pingting shivered from the cold wind. Seeing that it was Concubine Cheng who had returned, she hurriedly put down her work and went to greet her. She saluted, "Your Majesty, you came back a little late today. But what happened?"
The door was hurriedly closed by the deft palace maid, and the palace suddenly became a little warmer. Concubine Cheng walked to the charcoal basin to warm herself up and said, "What else could it be? Concubine Tong is so majestic."
Song Pingting felt a little worried, "Is your Majesty okay?"
Cheng Bin smiled and said: "If you don't cause trouble, it doesn't mean that you won't be troubled. If you encounter someone, just hide away."
Song Pingting felt a little relieved and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are so kind-hearted."
Concubine Cheng felt that her body was being heated by the charcoal fire, so she took off her cloak and gave it to the serving maid. She went to hug Brother Seventh on the warm couch and said with a smile: "This thing about the heart is all because of the grievances it has suffered. It was tempered after being angry enough."
Then he asked: "Will Yinyou be good when I'm not around?"
Song Pingting said softly: "Seventh brother is very sensible. The wet nurse just fed him milk and fell asleep soon."
With a mother's tenderness and love on her face, Cheng Bi said in a gentle voice: "A child of this age will grow up quickly only if he eats and sleeps too much! The clothes from head to toe will soon become inappropriate again." As she spoke, Then she picked up the half-finished tiger head hat that Song Pingting put on the table and said with a smile: "The eyes of this tiger are so well embroidered and so vivid!"
"It would be even better if two more black pearls were added as eyes!" Song Pingting said with a genuine smile.
Concubine Cheng slapped the table and said with a smile: "That's not true! I remember that a few months ago, Concubine Wen Xi rewarded a small box of black pearls. Ying'er, go get it quickly!"
The little palace maid in light green clothes hurriedly took out a small round red box with a lychee pattern from the concubine's makeup box. When she opened it, she found that it was full of black pearls in a small box, each one smooth and round. They are as black as eyes. Although there are only a dozen of them, they are all exquisite.
Cheng Bin personally selected two black pearls of exactly the same size and extremely round shape, placed them on the tiger head hat and compared them before nodding with satisfaction.
There was a muffled thunder outside, and the heavy snow began to fall to the ground, but the Changchun Palace was in a gentle and peaceful state.
At this time, the eunuch Xiao Pingzi suddenly came to report: "Greetings to the empress and greetings to the young master! The nun from the royal bedroom has arrived. The emperor has turned over the sign of the young master Song today! Congratulations to the young master, the sedan chair is already waiting outside. "
Song Pingting put the last stitch, and the tiger head hat that she had embroidered for most of the day was finally completed. Mrs. Song looked at Cheng Concubine. Instead of being displeased at all, Cheng Concubine said with a touch of joy: "Your Majesty is willing to turn over the sign." , it can be seen that the epidemic situation in Shandong has eased, so go quickly and don’t keep Sister Siqing waiting.”
Song Pingting stood up and bowed respectfully to Concubine Cheng, "Yes."
The snow was falling hard outside, and the night was already quiet. Listening to the sound of snow falling to the ground, the cinnamon branches outside the palace were squeaking. Cheng Bin looked at the sleeping seventh brother, and she didn't feel anything. Feeling lonely, he ordered the eunuch Xiao Pingzi again: "Hang two more lanterns outside the palace. You go and wait outside, and then ask the small kitchen to cook a bowl of thick ginger soup."
"嗻!"
Less than half an hour after the instructions were given, Concubine Cheng heard a sound outside the palace. She was a little confused as to why Song promised to come back so soon, so she put on her cloak and came out to have a look in person.
Song Pingting was walking slowly alone in the world of falling snow, her feet creaking, and there was not even a palace maid accompanying her. Concubine Cheng hurried forward with an umbrella, and saw Mrs. Song was frozen to the bone.
With a bruised face, he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you come back in a sedan chair?!" Concubines with high status are not allowed to ride in a sedan chair in the palace, but there is only one exception, and that is to send
When you go to bed, there will be a special sedan to pick you up and back.
Song Pingting's eyes were filled with tears, her lips were purple with cold, and she could not speak. Seeing this, Cheng Bin hurriedly took off her cloak and put it on Mrs. Song, and then stuffed the hot stove in her hand into Song Pingting's arms.
, holding her hand that was as cold as ice, "Quick, let's talk inside the house first!"
Song Pingting lived in the west side hall. Cheng Concubine had already ordered people to heat the house in the evening. After entering the house, she asked someone to bring ginger soup for Song Yingting to drink. Song Yingting felt relieved and started
I couldn't stop crying. I was filled with grievances and humiliation, as if a flood had broken through the dam and would never flow away.
Cheng Bin was also worried for her, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Song promised to sob and choked up: "Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace suddenly sent Eunuch Xu to Qianqing Palace to say that the fourth brother suddenly had a fever... and the emperor left without even looking at me!
Eunuch Xu also told Aunt Xu that since I have failed to serve as a bed attendant, I don’t have to come back in the bed attendant’s sedan chair.” As he spoke, he cried even harder, his slender body trembling slightly, and he was extremely weak and pitiful.
After hearing this, Concubine Cheng shook her head immediately, "Concubine Tong is too..." What a coincidence! The emperor finally flipped over the sign, but the fourth brother suddenly had a fever? Song promised that he had been quite agitated since Mulan came back.
Concubine Cheng always thought that as Concubine Tong, she would not make it difficult for her to agree, but she did not expect that she would do such a thing! Concubine Cheng's anger became more and more intense. She really thought that the entire harem was at her mercy.
Does she mean it?!
Concubine Cheng took a long breath and said: "Just remember today's humiliation! In my palace, you can cry as much as you want. If you leave Changchun Palace in the future, you will pretend that nothing happened."
It has happened! When you meet Concubine Tong, you must be extremely respectful so that she cannot find any fault in her!"
Song Pingting bit her lip, stopped crying slightly, nodded fiercely and said, "I will remember it!"
Concubine Cheng sighed: "The emperor is currently busy with other matters and has no intention of paying attention to the concubines. Concubine Tong is the highest-ranking concubine, and we cannot afford to offend her!"
Song Pingting's eyes were red and she said: "I just hope that Concubine Wen Xi will be lifted from the ban soon and tell her not to be so arrogant!"
Concubine Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be that easy? It was the Empress Dowager who ordered Concubine Wen Xi to be grounded. Without the Empress Dowager's permission, Concubine Wen Xi would have no choice but to be grounded."
Song Pingting has always been docile, and this is the first time she hates someone so much. She gritted her teeth and said: "If she continues to be arrogant like this, sooner or later the Queen Mother will not be able to tolerate her!"
Cheng Bin smiled, "You are right! And what we have to do is to make her even more arrogant, so arrogant that the Queen Mother cannot tolerate it. When the time comes, Concubine Wen Xi will naturally be released from the ban to balance Concubine Tong's power!"
After soothing Song Pingting for a while, she was told to sleep peacefully.
Listening to the sound of snow falling outside the palace, Dai Jia suddenly said: "From now on, pay close attention to the movements of Jingren Palace and Yonghe Palace. Virtuous concubines may not be able to calm down as they wish."
At the end of the day, the little bamboo charcoal left was exhausted. Wen Xi looked at her hands, which had become fat from the cold, and let out a long sigh. This body was too delicate, and the body was too fragile.
But wearing a thick winter coat and the latest leather.
Qinglan saw her warm frostbitten hands and said, "Master, I'll make you some ointment. If you don't take good care of it, I'm afraid it will crack and suppurate!"
Wen Xi smiled bitterly. Her hands looked like carrots, but she didn't feel any discomfort at all. They were just unsightly. "Forget it, as long as the weather stays this cold, you will still get frostbite after treatment!"
"By the way, how are you doing with Concubine Bu and Concubine Zhang Jia?" Wen Xi asked, retracting her chubby hands into her sleeves.
Song'er said: "According to the master's instructions, we have temporarily asked them to live in the same house. Fortunately, Xiaoluzi has been there so many times and finally got some bamboo charcoal today, but Chengqian Palace is so big, how can it be enough?"
"
If Wen Xi wanted to heal her hands, it would be too easy. She could go to the space and soak in warm spring water and it would be cured. However, she kept her chubby hands for future torture. How could she do that?
wasted?
"What's going on in Yonghe Palace?" Although Wen Xi was under lockdown and ordered that no one else could go out except those who wanted to go out to collect the money, she still asked people to pay attention to the goings-on in other palaces.
Song'er reported back: "I've been raising my baby behind closed doors, and there's been no movement at all."
"Master——" Zhu'er ran in quickly, "Concubine Tong's ceremonial guard just passed by the entrance of our Chengqian Palace and went to Yonghe Palace!"
Wen Xi finally showed a smile and said: "I heard that the fourth elder brother had a high fever last night, and the emperor stayed in Jingren Palace all night. The emperor just went to court this morning, and she went to Yonghe Palace to trouble the concubines?"
