The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Jingqiu Pavilion is located in a remote location, giving people a sense of eerie all year round, and it is even colder in winter, so for the harem concubines, this is a veritable cold palace.

Ye Shurong was moved here the day she was demoted to a nobleman, she stood by the dusty window, even if Ye Ronghua stood in front of her, she didn't have much expression on her face. With the pearls, hairpins and jade rings removed, she is a bit more fresh and beautiful than usual, but it's a pity that no one appreciates her beauty anymore.

Ye Ronghua looked at her mockingly, and said with a sneer: "You are used to acting indifferently, but you forgot, I have been with your sister for many years, and I naturally know that the calmer your expression is, the more you care. You are used to acting , she was a good daughter in the eyes of her parents since she was a child, and she also put on a virtuous appearance after entering the palace. Even when she plotted against me, she was so innocent and virtuous. I am really disgusted with your appearance all these years. "

Ye Guiren's complexion finally changed. She looked at Ye Ronghua's mocking face, and her eyes grew a little angry: "Yes, I have been sensible and well-behaved since I was a child, but even so, my parents still favor you. After entering the palace, you still If you want to compete with me, even the emperor prefers you, I, De Rong, is not inferior to you, why should I submit to you?!"

"So you use abortion to plot against me. You are not only jealous of me, but also other favored concubines in the harem. It's a pity that no matter how much you love the emperor, the emperor will also look down on you." Ye Ronghua raised his chin and mocked, "What are you doing with others? Bi, you will always look like a wooden person. I am a man and I don’t want to look at you more. Even if you frame me and let me downgrade to Ronghua, it’s a pity that you are still lower than me, Ye Guiren!"

"Yes, I caused you to step down, but you treat the palace people harshly, arrogant and domineering, even if I don't frame you, how long do you think you can stay in that position?" Ye Guiren changed the virtuous mask, his face full of It was dissatisfaction with Ye Ronghua, "The emperor doesn't like the child in my womb, and I am not favored, that child is destined to lose. I exchange a child who is destined not to survive in exchange for your defeat, why not do it. "

"How clean do you think you are?" Ye Ronghua snorted coldly, "I don't know how Concubine Wang died. I don't know. It's because she happened to see the scene where you framed me. How could she die of illness not long after? ? You have to know that you will be able to use the Ye family's contacts in the palace soon, and I will be able to use them too."

"My hands are not clean, but have you ever thought about the Ye family when you framed me this time? You dare to blame me for murdering the emperor's heir. What if the emperor implicates the Ye family in a fit of anger?" Ye Guiren pointed out. Looking at Ye Ronghua, "You have been willful and reckless since you were young, and you still dare not be executed after all these years in the palace."

"You didn't think about the Ye family when you framed me," Ye Ronghua sneered, "We're just each other, what can you do if you're jealous of my frame, I won this scene after all."

Ye Guiren was stimulated by Ye Ronghua's contemptuous eyes, and she raised her hand to hit him, but was pushed aside by Ye Ronghua, she leaned over and whispered in Ye Guiren's ear: "You said I was capricious and hated me for taking advantage of Mu Yue's relationship with Xiao Ju Framed you, but do you know why Mu Yue admitted this?"

"Because...she is mine, and I already knew about you plotting against me. Do you think I don't know that the emperor doesn't like our sisters anymore? I'm just using your hand to retreat. Today, I am Ronghua of the fifth rank, and you are only a nobleman of the seventh rank, so your status is still lower than mine."

"You!" Ye Guiren's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was meeting this person for the first time.

"The one who can't see clearly from the beginning to the end is you and not me." Ye Ronghua stood up straight, and helped the silver hairpin in his hair, "It's getting late, my sister will leave, sister."

Ye Ronghua walked out of the gate of the side hall, and heard the sound of utensils being thrown on the ground from inside, looked back at the dark gate behind him with a smile, touched the emerald earrings on the earlobe, sister, you couldn't beat me when you were young, Why do you want to beat me in the harem?

How can the emperor be sincere, sister, you are so stupid that you are tempted, so you are doomed to failure.

"Master," the maid waiting outside saw Ye Ronghua go out, and stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Go back to the palace," Ye Ronghua strode out of the cold palace without looking back.

In Xihe Palace, Zhuang Luoyan sipped black-bone chicken and white phoenix soup, letting Tingzhu around him angrily guess why Ye Guiren harmed her.

"This Ye Guiren really has sinister intentions. He didn't keep his child, so he wanted to harm the master." Ting Zhu looked worriedly at Zhuang Luoyan, who was still pale, "It's just the maid's jealousy, she obviously ordered it. Fortunately, the emperor Ming Jian demoted her position, such a person with sinister intentions is not worthy of a high position."

Zhuang Luoyan put down the bowl, took the handkerchief from Yun Xi's hand and wiped the corner of her mouth, "People in the harem don't have sinister intentions, so be careful in the future."

"Master is right," Yun Xi glanced at Ting Zhu, "Master's tonic is stewed in the small kitchen, go and see if it is ready."

After Tingzhu went out, Yun Xi looked at Zhuang Luoyan with some doubts, "Master, why don't you let Tingzhu know about this?"

"The less you know about things like this, the better," Zhuang Luoyan looked at the steaming soup in front of her. "What's more, the more real the maid beside me is, the easier it is for others to believe. And the most real It's better to act in her true colors, so it's better not to tell her." Although Tingzhu was very attentive and unambiguous when serving her, she has become a little impetuous recently, and it might be better not to let her know the truth of this matter.

"However, it makes sense to hear Zhu's words. I didn't expect Ye Guiren to plot against the master," Yun Xi said with emotion, "I have been in the palace for many years, and I have never seen that Ye Guiren is such a person."

"I don't know what kind of person she is, but this matter is not that simple," Zhuang Luoyan lazily carried Mrs. Tang in her arms, "But I am satisfied with the result."

Yun Xi laughed when she heard the words, "Master has been promoted to Xiuyi in less than a year since he first entered the palace, which is already extremely rare. It can be seen that the emperor has a master in his heart."

It would only be a joke for an ambitious emperor to have a woman in his heart. Zhuang Luoyan could see clearly in his heart, and then there was a hint of joy on his face, "Yun Xi, don't say that. How can I dare to hope."

Yun Xi added: "Master, you don't know that even Concubine Shu is not promoted as fast as Master." She could see clearly that each time Master's promotion was not particularly conspicuous, but from the frequency of promotion and the title given by the emperor , is enough to prove that the emperor attaches great importance to the master, "Master, although you have not been able to attend bed for the past month, the emperor has never forgotten you, and the rewards are constant. Isn't it enough to show that the emperor attaches great importance to you?"

Before the conversation between master and servant continued, Fu Bao walked in, "Master, Concubine Jiang Xian and Concubine Kong Cai are here to greet you."

"Please come in quickly." Zhuang Luoyan stood up, took a few steps toward the door, and saw Jiang Xianpin and Kong Cairen walking in together.

She stretched out her hand to stop the two people who were saluting, and after they were seated, Zhuang Luoyan smiled and said: "It's cold, why are you two here?"

"A few days ago, the emperor ordered us not to disturb your recuperation, so we only came to visit these few days." Jiang Xianpin looked at Zhuang Luorou's face. It has been more than half a month since the miscarriage, and the other party's face has already had some bruises. Bloody's spirits have also improved a lot, but there is still a bit of loneliness and reluctance in the smile.

Knowing the importance of a child to a woman, Jiang Xianpin comforted her and said: "Your complexion has improved a lot, you need to take good care of your body. My concubine heard that the emperor is asking about your body every day, so don't waste the emperor. A heart of love."

"Sister Lao is worried," said Zhuang Luo with a real smile on her unpainted face, but her spirit was still much worse than before.

Jiang Xianpin smiled wryly in her heart, she is not valued by the emperor in the harem now, although Zhao Xiuyi's miscarriage is pitiful, those women who have no half favor are truly pitiful. She came to visit Zhao Xiuyi today, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking, but now that she saw someone, she realized that the women in the harem are all pitiful, they just want to see who looks better.

"You two masters, this is the dim sum made by our new mother a few days ago, if you try it, it will suit your appetite." Ting Zhu came in with dim sum tea, saluted the two of them and then served the refreshment.

"But the emperor specially gave it to Zhao Xiuyi's gourmet mother to make it?" Jiang Xianpin tasted a piece, nodded in appreciation, "It melts in the mouth, it's sweet but not greasy, and it also smells like jasmine, it really is Handy."

"The concubine is all in favor of Zhao Xiuyi," Kong Cairen also praised, "The emperor is so concerned about Zhao Xiuyi's body, Xiuyi must take good care of it, a woman who loses her body at this time can't make up for it of."

Zhuang Luoyan twirled a piece of snack and swallowed, "Sisters are so worried about my sister's body, my sister also understands in her heart, but she just can't let it go. Originally thinking..." She paused, showing a wry smile, "That's all, There is nothing to mention, but I can't let go of it."

"I said before, you will still have our children, why bother to be depressed and lose your body?"

A low-pitched male voice sounded at the door, and all three of them hurriedly got up, "I have seen the emperor."

"No courtesy," Feng Jin stretched out his hand to support Zhuang Luoyan, "Why is your face still so ugly, haven't you eaten properly in the past few days?"

Zhuang Luoyan followed Feng Jin's hand and stood up straight, "Nurse's craftsmanship is very good, it's because the emperor is too worried about concubines."

"You also know that I am worried about you, so you should take good care of you and don't have to think about the past." Feng Jin took Zhuang Luoyan's hand and sat down, looking at Jiang Xianpin and Kong Cairen, "You two also Sit down, are you here to visit Zhao Xiuyi?"

"Returning to the emperor, I just met Kong Cairen by chance to enjoy the snow, so I invited them to visit Zhao Xiuyi together," Jiang Xianpin replied cautiously.

"Well, she's been feeling better recently, so it's good for you to talk to her," Feng Jin nodded, and then said to Zhuang Luoyan, "I sealed my pen today, and the Chinese New Year will be in two days. There is a palace banquet here, and I have a lot of things to do, I'm afraid I can't take care of you all the time, so you have to pay attention to yourself, don't catch the cold."

"Your majesty is a child now," Zhuang Luoyan and Feng Jin interlocked their fingers, and said with a smile, "Yun Xi and Tingzhu are careful, so they won't make me cold, but your majesty, don't delay your meal because of your busy schedule." Rest, I've seen you lose weight these few days."

"As long as you let go of your mind, I won't worry about losing weight." Feng Jin pinched Zhuang Luorou's cheek, his face was full of pampering.

From the corner of Zhuang Luoyan's eyes, she glanced at Kong Cairen and Jiang Xianpin who were sitting on the other side, emperor, is it really okay for you to moles another concubine in front of the other two concubines?
