24. The Three Gardens of the Old Ming Dynasty (5)
Focus on fortification!
Half of it!
Draw the river to encircle and annihilate!
Monk Lingqin stood up slowly, not even knowing that a lot of purple-red roses had fallen on his shoulders, looking at the direction where Concubine Yi was going, he was slightly surprised in his heart.
I heard that Concubine Yi was proficient in military affairs before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes, and it really deserved its reputation!
Yun Guiren stood on the edge of Xingzhen's sedan chair, sighed for a while, and laughed secretly for a while, Xingzhen asked strangely: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Niangniang, the concubine thinks that her brother has gone to the south, although it is a little dangerous, but as long as he fights, it must not be difficult to shine on the lintel, but the concubine is still a little worried and afraid." Yun Guiren said with mixed feelings.
"Sister, you can relax," Xingzhen was tired of playing with the roses in her hand, threw her hand, and threw it into the trickle of water under the bridge, the flowing water turned a few times, and sent the rose flower to the distance, "Although this battle is a little dangerous, but it is not a big problem, the monk king is out of the horse, and then there is a victory in Shandong, which can ensure that the north is worry-free, and it will definitely be able to wipe out the rebels." ”
"Niangniang said this, and the concubine was relieved."
"This mother's family is with us and we are prosperous and lose together," Concubine Yi remembered her own affairs, not only sighed slightly, "Sister, you also know why I had a hard time in those days, isn't it because of my father, now if your mother's brother has a chance, the emperor will naturally be able to favor you in his face, and you can live more comfortably in the palace." ”
Yun Guiren nodded gratefully, "Niangniang has far-reaching concerns about concubines, and concubines can't anymore." ”
"Hey, what is this, I'm waiting for you to teach Hongu how to ride a horse in the future."
The silver bell-like voices of several people were drowned in the green waves of the sea of flowers, and De Ling, who was standing in front of Wenyuan Pavilion, watched Yi Guifei and the group of people leave expressionlessly.
On the afternoon of June 5th, Emperor Xianfeng had a feast in the Qingyan Palace of Kyushu, except for the concubines who did not come out with the emperor, the rest of the concubines of the palace arrived, Xingzhen held her stomach and slowly got off the sedan chair in front of the Qingyan Palace in Kyushu, because she was pregnant, the imperial doctor instructed to use as little rouge gouache as possible, and Xingzhen also knew that the lead content in the cosmetics was too much, so the general incense powder was not used, but let the sails be placed in the impatiens with pearl powder, and the honey was poured, and the steamer was steamed three times and dried three times, and it was wiped on the cheeks to increase the color and not hurt the body.
Entering the main hall of Qingyan in Kyushu, the concubines who were talking in threes, threes, and twos saw that Concubine Yi arrived, and hurriedly saluted.
"Concubine Yi Wan'an!"
"Sisters are common, you don't have to be so polite, please get up quickly." Xingzhen is really tired of this kind of boring and time-wasting salute, although she is now watching other concubines say hello to herself in addition to saluting the emperor and the imperial concubine, but this kind of thing has seen too much, just like bird's nest eaten every day, and it will be tired.
Xingzhen saw that a small and pretty beauty standing on the side of Rong Chang was the first time she saw it, and she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and the exquisite beauty saw that Yi Guifei noticed herself, and hurriedly saluted again, and said: "Concubine Xin is often in Ji's family, see Yi Guifei Niangniang, Yi Guifei Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”
Xingzhen only then knew that this was a palace maid of Emperor Xianfeng's new Linxing last night, it turned out that this morning the emperor told him that Xin Chang was in front of him, Xingzhen looked at Xin Chang with interest, only to see Xin Changzai's skin was snow-white, green silk like ink, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, highlighting the corner of the mouth at the moment of the smile mole, Xingzhen looked at it for a while, and then helped it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Sister, get up, ** Since the second year of the concubine, more than a year, but I haven't seen a newcomer, and now I have taken the lead for my sister, My sister is going to drink a few more glasses of the sisters of the six palaces. ”
"The concubine lost her manners, and she failed to meet Concubine Yi after going to bed."
"It's okay, just serve the emperor wholeheartedly, it doesn't matter if you see you here a few days earlier or a few days later." Smiled and pressed Xin Chang's hand, Yi Guifei turned her head and saw Li Concubine, the nurse on the side was still holding a swaddling baby, Yi Guifei smiled and beckoned to Li Concubine, Li Concubine understood, and walked over gracefully, her figure was like a blooming hibiscus flower, and she didn't see the appearance of just giving birth.
"Sister Li, your body is recovering very well, but it makes me envious of this bucket waist."
Concubine Li's face froze, and she returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "Niang Niang made fun of it." ”
"Hurry up and bring the eldest princess to the palace, let me see!" The nurse hurriedly hugged the Wufu auspicious Ruyi Tuanjin swaddling clothes and showed it to Concubine Yi, Xingzhen poked her head and looked at the little girl's dark eyes, not afraid of life at all, and laughed when she saw Xingzhen. Xingzhen was very happy, and said to Concubine Li: "The eldest princess seems to be very generous, and she is not afraid of life at all. ”
"That's a mother who is amiable." Concubine Li laughed with her.
"A few days ago, the palace had a body, and I didn't come to see the eldest princess, but I saw it today, but I can't help but give a meeting gift," Xingzhen said and wiped off the jade bracelet she wore daily from her wrist, the bracelet was dark and blue, without the slightest flaw, looking at it like a pool of spring water was held in the hand of Yi Guifei, Xingzhen handed the jade bracelet to Li Concubine, Li Concubine knew that this was the best jade tribute from Myanmar, since the British occupied India, followed the friction of Myanmar for a while, Myanmar sued the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire was taking care of itself, There is time to pay attention to the trivial matters of the vassals, and after turning a deaf ear, Burma stopped paying tribute, and this kind of superb jade is still the emperor Baba found out Xie Yi's trick from the inner library for a few days, and Concubine Li hurriedly pushed her hand and did not dare to ask for it.
"The emperor has arrived!" Yang Qingxi shouted outside the hall, Emperor Xianfeng and the little eunuch Ruyi entered the Qingyan Hall in Kyushu, the women were busy saluting, Emperor Xianfeng called everyone up, and was about to speak, when he saw Concubine Li Tatara holding a dazzling jade bracelet in his hand, knowing that it was a thank you gift to Concubine Yi, he opened his mouth and smiled at Xingzhen: "You are a good person, take my things to please others." The tone is smiling and doting.
Xingzhen smiled disapprerovingly: "Since the emperor rewarded the concubine with this bracelet, then this bracelet is naturally a concubine, and the concubine took it to the eldest princess to press the bottom of the box, not to help the emperor save some dowry to be purchased for the eldest princess to marry in the future?" Now it's strange that the concubines are here. ”
The concubines covered their mouths with silk and laughed secretly, and Emperor Xianfeng also laughed again and again, "Concubine Yi, your mouth, it's really a sharp mouth, I can't say you, let's take a seat." Everyone waited for the emperor to enter the table, and then they sat down, the left side of the emperor's golden dragon table was the position of Xingzhen, and the right was originally the position of the concubine, because it was the princess who gave birth to the concubine, and it was also extra expensive, so she crossed the concubine and sat on the emperor's right hand, and the concubine sat under the head of Xingzhen, Xingzhen saw that the concubine's expression was a little weak, and her heart moved, but she didn't say anything.
