"Chen concubine..." Yu Fei picked up the list and read carefully the title given to Ji Ling at the top.
Ulanara's eyes glanced over seriously: "Fei Yu, when did you come here?"
Concubine Yu showed slight surprise on her face, but she still knelt down and saluted the Queen first: "I send my regards to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed!" Then she said: "Isn't it the Queen who summoned me?"
As soon as I heard about it, I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed over."
Ulanara raised his hand and tapped his forehead lightly, and said: "Look at my memory! Yes, I have a few newly presented Western gadgets here. I thought Hong Zhou might like them, so I let you
Come and get it.”
She turned around and told the palace attendants: "Everyone, please get out."
After the palace servants closed the door, the queen continued to say to Concubine Yu with a smile: "You don't get together much. It's rare that Hong Zhou is a filial and considerate good boy. Giving him this Western thing from your hands will naturally make it even more important."
Friendly."
When Concubine Yu heard her mention Hong Zhou, she couldn't hide her pride and joy. She raised her hand and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Look what the Queen said! You are Hong Zhou's aunt, Hong Zhou's wife."
The most filial Queen! I have always looked at these Western things as rare things. Since it is the queen's good intention, I will keep it for Hong Zhou and have a good talk with him when I see him tomorrow.
The Queen’s love for him!”
Ulanara also smiled, raised his hand to support his forehead, and on his skinny fingers, the golden silk Nine Phoenix Ring shined brightly.
That ring was given to her by Emperor Kangxi in the forty-eighth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, when she was still a direct descendant of Prince Yong's palace.
She wore it just right at that time. In the past few years, she had worked hard and endured it, and she had lost a lot of weight. She could see the ring turning on her finger.
Ulanara whispered: "Fei Yu, on the surface, I am like a bowl of water. In fact, over the years, I have always been more devoted to you and your mother. Did you know?"
"
Concubine Yu raised her head to look at Uranala. When their eyes met, Concubine Yu immediately lowered her head and said carefully: "How could I not know this? The queen, my concubine and the fifth elder brother... all rely on the queen!"
Ulanara gave a short sigh, leaned back slightly, bent his fingers, took off the ring, tapped it lightly on the table, and then smiled affectionately: "Okay, let's all
We are old friends, let alone this situation of relying on and not relying on, I am useless, maybe, in the end, I will still count on you and the fifth elder brother!"
This is a very serious statement.
Concubine Yu was so frightened that she slid down from the chair like a noodle without even standing up. She knelt down in front of Uranala: "I am so frightened! Why is the Queen like this?"
I dare not speak!"
Ulanala stretched out her hand to support Concubine Yu. She raised her eyebrows into her temples and raised her pair of phoenix eyes slantingly. She looked at Concubine Yu and said in a low voice: "What dare you say? Long Shengjiu"
Everyone is different, it’s not all up to God’s decision!”
She leaned close to Concubine Yu's ear and whispered: "No one can guess the emperor's thoughts. Those who praise you on the face may not really appreciate it in your heart; if you are indifferent on your face, you may not take it lightly in your heart!"
Concubine Yu didn't expect that the queen would suddenly mention these things to her today, and she would say it so grandly. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. She just held her hands and looked at the queen helplessly.
Ulanara narrowed his eyes, glanced at Concubine Yu, suddenly sat up straight, brushed his sleeves, and said with a solemn expression: "Come here."
Concubine Yu came close to the queen, not daring to raise her head to look directly at her, so she lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes falling on the phoenix embroidery all over the queen's body.
Just listen to the Queen whispering word by word: "You think your status is not noble enough, don't you? But I would like to remind you - Niu Hulu's status is not as high as you think."
Concubine Yu lowered her head, knowing that what the queen said was the truth - Niu Hulu, one of the eight Manchu surnames that was once so prosperous, is now gradually losing its aura and declining.
Otherwise, Xibi would not have been given the treatment of "Father Princess".
Ulanara looked at Concubine Yu and said word by word: "A loving mother loves her son, not just for repayment - Concubine Xi is so motivated and enterprising now, Concubine Yu, as a mother, can you still sit still?"
'
Concubine Yu knelt on the ground, feeling a faint trickle of sweat on her temples. She whispered: "Queen, don't forget, there is another one in the Forbidden City at the Changchun Palace!"
Ulanara knew that she was referring to Concubine Qi's third elder brother Hongshi.
She narrowed her eyes, but did not reply to Concubine Yu's words. She just raised her hand to take the list of Ji Ling's concubines, handed it to Concubine Yu, and said in a leisurely voice: "Take a look at this."
Concubine Yu took it, glanced at it, and said cautiously: "I know that the emperor will confer noble Ji as a concubine."
Uranara nodded.
As if she felt cold, she covered the tip of her nose slightly, then looked coldly into the distance, not looking at Concubine Yu, and said in a heavy and slow tone: "Your Majesty, I originally wanted to give her the word 'virtuous', but in the end
That’s why we decided on the word ‘chen’! Think about these two words carefully.”
She raised her hand, held her forehead, and closed her eyes slightly, as if she was extremely tired.
Concubine Yu murmured to herself: "Chen, Xian..."
The tip of her eyebrows moved, her expression condensed, and she suddenly looked at Uranala.
Ulanara's face was gloomy, he looked at her solemnly, and nodded: "You have thought of it."
She stood up, walked a few steps in the palace, raised her hand, raised her head and combed the bright yellow tassels under the seven-turn lotus lamp, and then said in a calm and authentic tone: "Back then, Emperor Taizong doted on Min Huigong and Yuan
The concubine is very strong.
Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan had just given birth to the eighth son of the emperor, and Emperor Taizong issued a general pardon to the world - it is unheard of that the honor that a queen can only enjoy when she gives birth to a legitimate son is bestowed on a concubine like this!"
She paused and then said: "When Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan were alive, they were titled Chen - this Concubine Chen made Empress Xiao Duanwen and Empress Xiaozhuang Wen breathless!
But just a dozen years later, Emperor Shizu loved Empress Xiaoxian Dong E very much. When Empress Xiaoxian first entered the palace, she was named "Xianfei". One month later, she was promoted to imperial concubine. After that, Empress Xiaoxian
After giving birth to his fourth son, Emperor Shizu even said, 'This is my first son'!"
Uranala turned around, looked at Concubine Yu, and said with a half-smile, "The titles of these two people, one is 'Chen' and the other is 'Xian', isn't our emperor's intention ready to come out?"
?”
She stared at Concubine Yu and whispered: "The future concubine, if..."
She lowered her hand and pointed at her abdomen, and then fell silent.
Concubine Yu looked up at the queen in confusion.
From the horizon, a loud thunder exploded.
Thousands of clouds, like a herd of horses, rushed toward the top of the Old Summer Palace in a dark mass.
A heavy rain suddenly fell, and layers of rain and mist floated between the sky and the earth. The palace people ran quickly under the flat eaves and closed the carved windows.
Concubine Yu seemed to be talking to herself, shaking her head and saying: "Queen, the children have grown up, and that one...she can't make it in time!"
Ulanara glanced at her coldly and said softly: "That may not be true. Children are the most pitiable!"
Yu Fei was speechless for a moment.
…
After Concubine Yu left, the queen stood upright in the palace. Only Hua Rong, holding a bowl of pine needle snow tea, accompanied the queen silently.
Ulanala slowly turned around, looked down at the tea lid, and whispered: "There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy. It was me who helped her, and it was also me who underestimated her. In less than a year, she has been promoted twice in a row."
Level, now, looking at the emperor’s energy..."
Her eyes swept across the palace with a deep look, with an expression of contempt for all things, but also a fierce look. Hua Rong saw it and comforted her mouth: "Queen, don't think too much, and relax, she is just a concubine.
!Besides, the situation in the palace, who is favored and who is not favored, is constantly changing, it’s hard to count!
You are the only one who is the most noble queen above the Sixth Palace. With your status, it is not worth your while to work for that noble nobleman!"
