Chapter 1062: Where is the Cold Palace2
Concubine Min returned to Zhong Cui Palace, only to see that Zhong Cui Palace was completely new.
First of all, I saw that there were many more large water tanks in the courtyard, all of which were compared to the blue and white tanks she had in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and when I looked closer, there were fish in them.
Each tank has fish of a different color, swimming happily in it.
Although there are no lotus flowers on the water surface, there are water chestnut leaves, which are still verdant, and the palace people stepped forward and said: "The emperor said that Niangniang likes this, but now that midsummer has passed, there are no lotus." But the osmanthus will soon bloom, we have a laurel tree in Zhongcui Palace, when the osmanthus blooms and floats on the water, the fish will also peck, more beautiful than the lotus! β
Concubine Min could vaguely think of that picture, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
Then I entered the hall from the courtyard, and found that the hall was also newly decorated, completely different, with bead curtains, tables and chairs, and many treasures...... Everything is new and sophisticated.
Although it is not as luxurious as the Yongshou Palace, it is much better than the original.
Looking at the huge mahogany table in the hall full of rewards, she stepped forward to see that they were all valuable things.
I sat down to drink a cup of tea, and then I heard the people in the palace outside: "The emperor has arrivedββ"
Concubine Min got up with the palace maid's hand, walked outside the hall, and saw Yuanzhi coming head-on, so she said "The emperor is blessed".
Yuan Zhi looked at her in a daze, and said for a while before he said, "The second brother came back and said that you are no longer angry, why are you still angry, and you don't even give me a gift?" β
Concubine Min was also stunned, and immediately blushed, "It's the queen mother who said that according to the rules of the palace, there is no need to salute when you are pregnant, and the concubine still thinks it's ......."
She was busy making up for the salute, but Yuan Zhi grabbed her hand, "It's me who is confused, I forgot, what the queen said is right, you don't have to salute in the future." Go and go into the temple and rest. β
The two of them walked towards the hall hand in hand, and the rivalry that had never been in contact with each other before was completely gone, and it became tender and sweet.
The palace maids stood under the porch and did not dare to go in, and they all hid their mouths and snickered......
β¦β¦
"Where the hell is the cold palace?"
The next day, Concubine Min got up in the morning to dress up and asked the palace maid this question.
Queen Zhou didn't tell her in detail yesterday, she asked the palace maid to know.
As soon as the palace maid heard this, she knew that it was related to Concubine Li, "Niangniang asked what Leng Gong does?" The cold palace is in the deserted palace in the northwest corner of the palace, which is cold and gloomy. The abolished concubine Li Concubine was locked up there, does Niangniang want to know her current situation? β
Concubine Min didn't answer her question directly, but said, "Then is it possible for the concubine who was beaten into the cold palace after being abolished to come out?" β
The palace maid shook her head, "It's impossible." Generally, concubines who are sent to the cold palace will go crazy and die of illness within two years, but there are exceptions. β
"What exceptions?"
"The queen and concubine of the first emperor dynasty came out later. One is the biological mother of the eldest princess, and the other is the biological mother of the third prince, and later they were both released by the queen mother to live with their children. β
Concubine Min nodded, "So, what about those who don't have children?" β
The palace maid said: "If you don't have children, you can't let them go, the queen and concubine of the first emperor can be with their children when they go out, and they can still live if they have children to support them." That's it, it's still the blessing of the Queen Mother, a virtuous and virtuous person. Who will be the childless to be sent out and snuggled upon? β
Concubine Min heard some truth, and said: "So, is there the kind of person who was sent to the cold palace and later forgiven by the emperor and released to continue to be a concubine?" β
When the palace maid heard this, she was sure that Concubine Min was asking Concubine Li.
They all laughed and said: "This is something that I have never heard of since ancient times, besides, the slave maid heard that the cold palace is not well fed and dressed, and it is dirty, and the young concubines will become old when they go in, how can they still go back to the emperor to serve?" β
Concubine Min stopped talking.
She roughly understood what kind of existence Leng Gong was, so she said, "After breakfast in a while, you will accompany me out for a walk." β
"Okay."
The palace maids all said: "The emperor and the queen have instructed that the mother should go out and walk around more, so as not to be depressed in the house." What's more, the weather will be cold in a few days, and it will not be so convenient to go out at that time. β
β¦β¦
When she got out of Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Min kept asking people to lift the sedan chair to the northwest corner of the harem, and the palace people realized that something was wrong.
"Niangniang, are you going to the cold palace?"
Concubine Li asked rhetorically, "Why, can't I go?" β
The palace maid was a little embarrassed, "It's not that you can't go, it's just that the place in the cold palace is gloomy and unclean, and the lady is afraid of bad luck when she goes." Let's go to the Imperial Garden, why bother going to that kind of place? β
Concubine Min said: "I know Concubine Li once, and she hurt me deeply." I didn't have time to send her when she was sent to the cold palace, this time I want to go to the cold palace to see her, so I will say goodbye. β
Concubine Min is now pregnant and deeply favored, so naturally everyone did not dare to refute her words, and the sedan chair was carried to the cold palace.
When the grandmothers in the cold palace saw that it was Concubine Min who arrived, they were all very respectful.
"Is the waste concubine Li here?"
"Yes, do you want to see her?"
Concubine Min sat on the sedan chair and nodded, and the grandmothers immediately went to bring Concubine Li out, and Concubine Min watched her being thrown out like duck paper, so she almost rushed behind with a whip.
Concubine Li, who was as proud as a peacock in the past, also has a scene where she is not as good as a chicken today, which makes Concubine Min unimaginable.
Concubine Li had not been in the cold palace for a long time, and she was still wearing the clothes she wore when she was a concubine, the clothes were gorgeous, but they were stained with dust because she hadn't washed them for a long time, and they looked old and dirty.
Her eyes were all stunned, and when she saw the concubine Min on the sedan chair, she had some reaction.
When she saw Concubine Min's lower abdomen bulging slightly, her eyes widened in surprise!
Concubine Min also noticed her gaze, so she stroked her stomach, "It's been more than three months." Concubine Li, if you had known that I was pregnant with a dragon fetus, you would not have used such a stupid method to frame me, right? β
"More than three months?"
Concubine Li was dumbfounded, "I thought I lost to the emperor's wise decision, but it turned out that I lost to your stomach." Oh, Min Guiren, this is really ironic. β
The palace maid of the Min noble man said on the side: "Our mother is now a Min concubine, and the emperor specially appointed the second prince as the canonization envoy, and she only came out of the imperial garden in person yesterday." β
"Concubine Min?"
Concubine Min said: "I also want to thank Concubine Li for being framed, which has benefited me a lot." Not only was I named a concubine, but my relationship with the emperor took another step. The suspicions between each other were solved, and there was no misunderstanding and distrust again. If it weren't for Concubine Li's mother, I really don't know when I would be able to get the emperor's wholehearted trust. β
conceived with a dragon fetus, was named a concubine, and the second prince personally served as the canonization envoy......
Concubine Li can imagine how dazzling Concubine Min is now.
