Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Jade Mark (Part 1)

Ruyi understood the emperor's willful nature, so he was blessed and walked outside slowly.Under the wide corridor, there are huge red pillars surrounded, like a huge barrier, making Jin Yuyan, who is kneeling on the ground, small and humble.Yuyan was wearing a moon-white plain colorless gown with light silver-gray borders on the cuffs and skirt.She took off her hairpin, replaced the bottom of the flower pot that symbolized her status as a concubine, and only wore flat soft shoes, knelt outside the hall and kowtowed continuously. The moment she saw Yuyan's face, Ruyi was slightly surprised. This always charming and charming woman did not show her pear-blossoming and rainy crying face at this time, but just pursed her lips stubbornly, He lowered his always high head heavily.

Ruyi showed no extra expressions, just calmly repeated the emperor's words, and then ordered: "Send the nobleman back to Qixiang Palace, don't come out if there is nothing to do." Yuyan's plain white face was not decorated with any makeup, except for the soft and swaying texture on the corners of the eyes, which was like the soft and swaying texture on the tail of a goldfish, it was still perfect, and it was a jade wall with almost no blemishes.Even the swollen redness brought about by continuous forehead tapping on the ground only added a bit of bright peachy fragrance to her dull face.The only fly in the ointment is that her voice is not as seductive as her face, full of resentment and anger: "I can tell the difference between agate and carnelian! Even if Zhenshu can't tell the difference. What is it! It's not true! It's You hurt me!"

Ruyi raised her eyes slightly, and brushed away a strand of red jade beads and tassels hanging from her temples. The look she showed at that moment was a bit of indifferent disdain, vaguely with stubborn disdain, and she snorted lightly: " In this palace, the truth is never important. For many things, no one cares whether it is true or not, but whether someone believes it. In fact, you are the same as me, you are gambling, and you only bet whether the emperor believes it or not." She Gouged out Yuyan's eyes, and sharpened the bone-slicing knife with a cold look, "Or, you can also tell the emperor, you know very well that the carnelian used on the Qibao bracelet is not at all. Agate. Then, do you think that the emperor would think that only the envoy would be so clear? Of course, this is what you told the emperor. When you got these things that day, you sealed them up and gave them to them without even looking at them. The emperor."

Yu Yan's body was trembling: "The emperor will not treat me like this, I gave birth to three princes for the emperor! You must have instigated it! It is you! The emperor will not believe me!" She bit her lip, completely ignoring The snow-white teeth landed on the dark red and soft lips, biting deep marks. Ruyi's indifferent eyebrows and eyes are like the last flames of this season, with a faint aura of coldness and fear of the future: "Is it me, or are you doing it yourself? Just as I clearly have nothing to do with Master Posang, but what you said Everything I do is just to make people believe it is true!"

There were tears in her eyes that were about to fall, Yuyan wiped them vigorously with her sleeves, obliterating the possibility of the tears that were about to pour out, then looked directly at Ruyi with scorching eyes, raised her face and said: "You You want to provoke me and the emperor, you want to see me sad, but I won't cry, and I won't let you do what you want!" No expression is enough to express Ruyi's contempt and anger. Her eyes are as indifferent as frost and snow in December, covering Yuyan's body: "Your own actions are far better than any instigation! The emperor did this! , I've been extra merciful for the sake of giving birth to a prince." After Ruyi said that, she didn't want to look at her embarrassed and ferocious face in disgust.

Yuyan stood up suddenly, and rushed forward to slap Ruyi's face.She raised her flamboyant hand high, and the moment the fierce wind blew against her flesh, Ruyi did not avoid it, and said calmly: "If you want to slap, just slap, but once this slap falls, regardless of your position, your The three elder brothers must not be able to take you back to raise them, have you figured it out clearly?" Yuyan's raised hand hung only half an inch away from Ruyi's face and trembled, as if she couldn't find where she was.After a long time, the hand that was as white as onion roots finally landed heavily on her own cheek, and the loud slap echoed with her endless mourning. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty...you can't abandon your concubines and their mother clan! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can blame and punish your concubines, but please don't anger your concubines' mother clan. I beg you Already!"

Ruyi shook her head slowly, and stared at her for a long time: "No one wants to abandon you, you are the one who abandoned yourself, and you are the one who dragged your mother's family by any means in order to seek honor and favor. Fornication?" She disdains , "In addition to these filthy things in your head, didn't Li Chao, who gave birth to you and raised you, not teach you a little bit of wisdom, kindness and knowing how to advance and retreat?" The look of contempt was engraved on Yu Yan's face, which could not be erased: "Imperial Concubine, do you think you are a kind person? Neither you nor I are good men and women, so why bother to say such stereotypes? You have something you want to protect , I have something I can't get. Since we met on a narrow road, I can't count your scheming, so it's fine. But as a daughter of the Li Dynasty's clan, I can bear punishment and I must not lose face! I won't cry, no I will let you see my jokes!"

As Yuyan said, tears rolled down uncontrollably.She has always relied on her status and regarded herself and Li Chao's face very seriously. Now that she mentions it, it is obvious that she is extremely sad and frightened.She frantically stretched out her hands to wipe, the more she wiped, the more tears shed, staining her cuffs with dots of halo, like ashes and fallen flowers, scattered in all directions.She tried her best to suppress the mournful sobs that might overflow from her throat, and said, "I won't cry, I won't let you see me cry! I won't let you laugh at me, Li Chao lost face!"

"Whether you lose face or not depends only on what you have done. If you are willing to gamble and admit defeat, you will bear the consequences of yourself." Ruyi looked down at her, concentrated for a moment, and quietly approached her, holding a treacherous smile, extremely light He said softly: "Jin Yuyan, guess what, this time, why did I win so quickly?" Jin Yuyan opened her eyes wide, as if she was dead and unable to rest in peace: "What did you say?" Ruyi stretched out two slender fingers, and waved them lightly: "Whether it's Empress Xiaoxian or Emperor Huixian, if it's really them who want to harm my palace, now that everyone is dead and the dust is gone, it should be settled. But if they It was also instigated by others, so they all died, and the person hiding behind should also play by himself. After all, the queen's position is close at hand, you finally can't help it, can't you?"

Yuyan looked at Ruyi in surprise, her shoulders shook involuntarily, and she shrank back.In her always charming and soft eyes, there was a cold light that was as sharp as needles, almost piercing through her body.Yuyan's teeth made a grinding sound, if it wasn't for Jin Zhong's swift hand to hold her down, she could hardly help but rub her body and pounce on her.Yuyan snapped: "You nonsense! What nonsense are you talking about!" Of course it's just nonsense, Ruyi doesn't have half a certificate.The only thing left is the scream of Empress Xiaoxian before she died, and a little bit of indistinguishable spider silk traces.

Ruyi was too lazy to talk to her, and was facing each other indifferently, but saw Master Anji Posang wearing a red robe, holding a string of orange and yellow beeswax beads, with a peaceful expression, slowly walking up the steps of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Ruyi nodded and saluted: "Master is well." There was an indifferent and clear smile between Anji Bosang's eyes: "The imperial concubine has accumulated blessings, everything is fine." Ruyi glanced at Yuyan who was covering her face and weeping: "With the protection of Master's Buddhism, evil spirits will not invade." Anji Bosang smiled slightly: "Jiang girl is not admirable, she is like the light moon reflected by sparse plums. Even if the dust brushes her body, she will always be clean." Ruyi understood, a bright smile flashed in her eyes, like the bright sky. "The Zen master is not empty and silent, just like the green lotus in the blue marsh. Even if he is deep in the mud, he can not stain himself." She leaned forward and said softly, "Why is the master coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this moment?" Anji Bosang smiled gently, with a leisurely attitude of picking flowers and looking at the dust, and said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and I am here to bid farewell to the emperor." Ruyi was slightly sad: "The filth in the palace is not a place for masters to clean up." Anji Bosang smiled and said: "Although the practice place is bitter and cold, it is clean and comfortable." He turned his face and looked at Yuyan with extremely compassionate and kind eyes: "You have a face that is more beautiful than Gesanghua, but You don’t have a beautiful heart. You have your children, your family, and your future, why don’t you experience the freedom of purity and clarity? Don’t ask for no form, seek emptiness, otherwise your sins will spread to your children body, let them bear the karma of their mother.” Yuyan's beautiful and narrow eyes turned contemptuously, and she spat fiercely on the ground between her delicate lips, expressing her resentment and dissatisfaction. Anji Bosang smiled broadly, and said to Ruyi, "Your Highness, you still have a long way to go in the future, with many thorns and dangers. You asked me what Zen is. In fact, Yuanming Qingjing is Zen, not insensitive. , It’s not that you don’t know everything, all the sounds and movements outside are clear, and this heart is clear, there is no hindrance, no attachment, and a peaceful place. In this way, all the dust can’t disturb you, because you have no openings.” Ruyi clasped her hands together: "Thank you, Master, for your advice." Posang smiled: "I'm just making a point. In the few days in Yuhua Pavilion, I have already discovered that although the imperial concubine came to Yuhua Pavilion to pay homage, all she asked for was for the affairs of the palace, never for herself, empress. In fact, they don’t believe in gods and Buddhas.” Ruyi laughed: "Master's eyes are so clear, you have seen through it. I have never believed in gods and Buddhas, but only believe in what I can do." Posang stared at her for a moment: "Those who believe in gods and Buddhas have a soft heart. Those who only believe in themselves must have suffered trauma that no one can trust. But one day the imperial concubine will also feel that gods and Buddhas are not about how gods are effective. It's just to give the wandering and helpless heart a place to rest and comfort, and to support the road to the future." He was about to say more, but Li Yu had already come out, and said with a smile on his face, "Master, the emperor is waiting for you inside, please hurry up." Seeing Anji Bosang enter the palace, Ruyi quietly watched Jinzhong half-lead and half-send Yuyan back, and then left too. He didn't want to sit in a chariot or sedan chair, and he didn't want to be accompanied by attendants. Even Sanbao and Lingzhi were sent away, walking alone, which was more suitable for Ruyi's state of mind at this time. Mixed feelings.She didn't say a word, just walked forward silently, trying to eliminate the confusion and the shock of loss that surged from the bottom of her heart. After an unknown amount of time, she realized that there was a figure following closely behind her, just like her own shadow, never leaving.She turned her head and saw Ling Yunche following behind with a shofar lantern, and asked lightly, "What are you doing with me?" Ling Yunche followed Ruyi three feet away: "Originally, I accompanied Eunuch Jinzhong to escort the nobleman back to the palace, but seeing that the empress was in a bad mood, I couldn't persuade him, so I accompanied him all the way." Ruyi didn't care about him, and said lazily, "Then you should carry the lamp in front instead of following." His brows are clear and introverted, and his smile is like the light moonlight on the horizon: "Your Majesty can see clearly where the road ahead is, and I just need to accompany you to illuminate the road ahead for your Majesty, so that you don't feel sad when you look back." At a loss, it's hard to see the way out." The moonlight in early autumn covers every corner of the palace courtyard quietly, and clusters of deep red begonias are in full bloom, gorgeous and lonely.Ruyi smiled meaninglessly: "That's fine. I don't like being too close with someone in my current state of mind, but it's too lonely to walk alone. It's always good to have you here." Yun Che stopped talking and just followed silently.When the fiery red silk gauze palace lantern in front of Yikun Palace illuminated Ruyi's pale face, he just asked in a low voice: "Why does your empress have the same expression on your face as I did back then?" "What year?" "It's like Wei Chen has already understood that he has lost his former beauty." Sensing his sensitivity, Ruyi said softly: "You are right, this is what I am. I have gained a very important thing, but also lost a very important thing. Such gains and losses, for a For a woman, the gain outweighs the loss." She smiled, "However, thank you for your kindness. No matter what the reason is, it is rare for her to be willing to intercede with the emperor when I am in distress." Yun Che smiled wryly, and bowed his hands in a salute: "I only hope that your future journey will be safe and smooth, and there will be no more thorns and storms." For a moment, I was moved like a raging river tide, and at the moment when I was overwhelmed, I just thought that there are still people who care about me like this.She immediately smiled and understood her identity at the moment: "Ling Yunche, Jiang Yubin has already asked me to marry You Xin. You are not young, and now you have a future, should you marry a wife and have children, start a family and start a business? You arrange to marry a lady." Yun Che's expression darkened in an instant: "Your Majesty is concerned. I am very comfortable on my own, and I don't want to burden my family." He paused, "It is my blessing to be able to accompany the Emperor and Your Majesty. " Ruyi nodded slightly, looked up at the clear moonlight, as if covered by frost and snow: "If I can feel that it is a blessing, then it is really a blessing." After all, Sing Xin is young, relying on her good foundation, the trauma to her flesh has gradually healed.It was only a hundred days of injury, and her left leg was severely injured, and it took half a year for her to be able to go to the ground.Jiang Yubin was also worried that the cold in winter would hurt his vitality, so he took warming and tonic medicines for Yongxin three times a day, and even Lingzhi smiled: "Fortunately, Auntie Xinxin has her own monthly routine, and there is little The Lord's reward, otherwise, all of Doctor Jiang's salary would not be enough for my aunt to take supplements." Jiang Yubin really did her best. After she was able to get up, her legs and feet were still weak. She felt sad and shed tears behind her back. It was Jiang Yubin who explained to her: "As long as people are fine, it doesn't matter if you walk slowly. " In addition to Jiang Yubin, Li Yude Konger also often came to visit Song Xin, often silent for a long time, just standing on the side without saying a word.When Ruyi asked by chance, Li Yu burst into tears: "I have known Xin Xin for many years, and I saw her being tortured like this from a lively girl's house." He knelt down and said with emotion: "My lord, Don't let Xiaoxin stay in the palace. We are the ones who can't get out for the rest of our lives, Xiaoxin, let her go out." Could it be that Li Yu's intentions were not his own?Even when she saw the birds flying across the blue sky, she also sincerely felt a little longing, if she had never entered the palace, if she could go out, that would be great. She had never imagined the outside world, but she would never be so trapped inside the red wall for a long time, looking at the trace of blue sky in the depths of the long street, with endless reveries. The hearts of Ruyi and Jiang Yubin are deep and firm.Xin Xin suspected that he was disabled, and was afraid of dragging down Jiang and Bin, so he always said: "Now you are highly valued in the imperial hospital. I don't have any good wife and house. I am getting older and disabled again. I will marry you." It’s not a good match either.” So she refused to let go and marry him.It's just that as time goes on, seeing Jiang and Bin being so infatuated, Ruyi tried to persuade her again and again, and finally agreed.Ruyi chooses a sunny day, and the emperor bestows Xin Xin on her marriage to Jiang Yubin. On the day when the marriage is bestowed and married, there will naturally be a commotion in the palace, from up to Luyun, down to the palace people, all come to see them off one by one.One is naturally to take into account the honor of the emperor's bestowed marriage, and Ruyi is the honor of the imperial concubine, so she is naturally happy to make the icing on the cake; the other is that Ruyi's confidant has been around for many years, and moreover, the Department of Punishment will never betray the master. Admire her loyalty and courage, naturally admire her.So the bustle of that day was like being out of the pavilion. Ruyi repeatedly told Jiang and Bin to treat Song Xin kindly, and finally choked up, but it was Lu Yun who held her back and said, "The imperial concubine is too happy, why should she cry on a good day? Come on, I will cover you with a hijab .” It is because of Yuyan's downfall that Luyun appreciates her face so much, so she has her way.Hai Lan and Yi Huan have always been friends with Ru Yi, and even added a lot of dowry, happily sending Xin Xin out of the palace. Finally arrived at the gate of the palace, Ruyi could no longer go out, only Li Yu came to accompany her.Li Yu said earnestly: "Jiang and Bin and I are old acquaintances, starting from humble beginnings. Now that my heart has a good home, I feel at ease. Live a good life, and I will serve the imperial concubine in the palace. Also, there are 30 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, which is my wedding gift to you, so you are not allowed to refuse." Jiang Yubin and Yong Xin thanked each other again, and went out hand in hand.Li Yu watched him off for a long time, knowing that there was smoke and dust everywhere at dusk, so he walked away slowly with his spine hanging down. Ruyi looked at Li Yu's back, and seemed to be able to glimpse a little unspeakable heart from his overjoyed and depressed posture. In this way, Jiang and Bin bought a small house, and the two lived in peace of mind, and came to the palace as errands for a few days when they were free.Ruyi also couldn't bear her to move too much, so she just asked her to teach the little maid to behave.In this way, there are only two big ladies Lingzhi and Yunzhi left in Yikun Palace, and Ruyi doesn't want to mobilize people to dispatch people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she barely makes ends meet. After Yan Wan pleaded for Ruyi, she also came and went to Yikun Palace more.Although the emperor loves her day by day, she is young and well-behaved, and can read words and demeanor, so she is always easy to win the Sacred Heart.And the most favored ones are Ruyi and Concubine Shu. When Empress Xiaoxian passed away for a year, the empress's mother clan was worried that there was no Fucha woman to serve in the palace, so they chose a twenty-eight-year-old woman to send to her. Collateral, looks beautiful and pleasant, plump as jade.The emperor also treated him courteously, and he was named a nobleman when he first entered the palace, and he was given the title "Jin" and lived in Jingyang Palace.And because of Yuyan's falling out of favor, Li Chao sent several young and beautiful Li Chao women here, but the emperor didn't stay, and rewarded the princes of various houses.Yuyan thought there was a turning point, so she repeatedly offered her food and embroidery, but the emperor just accepted it, but didn't ask her about her situation.In this way, the gayageum in Yuyan Palace mourned through the eternal night, endlessly, and only made a joke: "Do you really think that the sound of the piano can attract people? You are not even worthy of people, and you are still there in your mid-mature Self-indulgent?" Yuyan was originally a sharp-tongued person, and she never had many friends, Yan Wan's joke spread to everyone in a short time.Yuyan is ashamed and indignant, suffering from not being able to argue with Yanwan, and losing her chastity, she has no one to confide in, so she can only live in torment and depression.The emperor turned a deaf ear to it, and when he took pity on Yan Wan, he also made the nobleman Wan in the old man's residence a concubine.Even if there are newcomers in the palace, everything is peaceful and peaceful. After the beginning of spring, the Imperial Hospital reported several times, saying that Brother Jiu, born to Yuyan, had been suffering from a cold and coughing and was not well.Brother Nine is very weak, and since he was born, he can't hear loud noises, so he is extremely thin.Although the emperor was worried, after all, he had many heirs, and he was the child of a concubine who fell out of favor, so he just asked the imperial physician and elder brother to take care of him.When Jiang Yubin got the news, he sneered again and again: "Although it is said that a doctor is a parent, it also depends on whose child it is. If Er Niang did something wrong, the child will suffer, won't it?" That day Hailan, Yanwan, and Wanyin came to talk with Ruyi, under the window of Nuan Pavilion, there was a pear-bordered lacquer-heart arhat couch, covered with fragrant-colored silver-colored satin mattresses.On the couch, there is a nanmu table inlaid with mother-of-pearl and cloud legs with thin teeth, on which there are fresh melons and fruits splashed with clean water. Everyone can't help but sigh when they talk about Brother Jiu. Hai Lan sighed lightly: "I heard that although the emperor cares about Brother Jiu's health these days, he has been ignoring Mrs. Jia, and Zhen Shu was driven back to the Li Dynasty. She lost both face and arm. I'm afraid It's getting harder." Yan Wan listened intently, her eyes were exceptionally clear and crystal clear.She giggled and covered her mouth and said: "Didn't the emperor say that if the nobleman continues to misbehave, he will demote her to be a commoner. Besides, she is from Li Chao, and she has no confidants to advise her. Let's see how she fumbles." Looking at Ruyi with joy, "The emperor's golden words, but he said it himself in front of the imperial concubine." Ruyi was noncommittal, but a hint of weariness appeared in her smile: "The emperor is very eloquent, but there are some things to say. You and I are not unaware that Jiagui was born in the Li Dynasty, and his status is unusual." Yan Wan was rather puzzled: "So what? The Li Dynasty was originally attached to the former Ming Dynasty, and I attached to the Qing Dynasty after entering the customs. I have been presenting women as concubines in the palace. As a concubine, I have to abide by the palace rules. Isn't this time you will severely punish Jiagui?" "Although the punishment is severe, it will not be unfeeling." Ruyi's expression was indifferent, and there was a sense of helplessness, "In the past, the Li Dynasty was attached to the former Ming Dynasty, and women often entered the palace as concubines. Emperor Yongle's concubine Gongxian Quan was even more poor because of her lack of qualifications. , good at blowing the jade flute and being good at it for a while. When I entered the Qing Dynasty, the Li Dynasty once said "respect the king and fight against the barbarians". It can also be regarded as Li Chao's first clan princess who joined the Qing Dynasty. So no matter what, the emperor will take Li Chao's face into consideration. Now that she has dismissed her confidants, it can be regarded as punishment." She glanced at Yan Wan meaningfully, "No matter what, I'm afraid it won't work." Yan Wan was somewhat disappointed: "It's commendable that the nobleman committed such crimes——" Hailan smiled gently, and interrupted shallowly: "Those who do evil will have their own evil consequences, and we ordinary people, why should we worry about karma." There was a movement in Yan Wan's eyes, and she immediately understood, she only held a gentle smile, and said obediently: "Sister Yu Concubine is right, it's my sister who is stupid." Wanyin was timid by nature, she listened to the Buddha repeatedly and said: "Master Jiagui shouldn't have been obsessed with ghosts and slandered the imperial concubine and Master Anji Posang for no other reason than for the solemnity of the Dharma, how could he easily blaspheme Well. His Majesty is a person who respects Buddha and Dao in his heart, really..." Hailan glanced at her, and joked, "Wanyin really thinks she has an emperor in her heart." She saw Wanyin's face was flushed, and she didn't want to tease her anymore, she just looked at the little leaf statue in Ruyi's palace. The red sandalwood Buddha statue clasped his hands together and said: "Master Anji Posang once hoped that Jiagui people could experience the freedom of purity and clarity, otherwise her sins would spread to her children and let them bear the mother's karma. Master Posang's practice is profound. , It makes sense to think so. Looking at it now, isn't brother Jiu's illness caused by Jiagui?" Yan Wan twisted the silk around her fingertips and said with a smile, "Okay, what are we doing with these unlucky people? I find it strange that Qin Sangli, who was on the third day of March this year, In the past, when Empress Xiaoxian was around, the emperor sometimes asked the imperial concubine to perform the etiquette, but now that Empress Xiaoxian has passed away, why does the emperor not perform this ceremony?" Ruyi sighed: "The emperor has some old feelings. After all, Empress Xiaoxian passed away only a year ago, and Princess He Jing just got married, so the emperor will inevitably feel sad." Yan Wan smiled: "That's right. My sister is already an imperial concubine, and the empress is just around the corner, and it's not bad for these vain gifts. Maybe the emperor misses Empress Xiaoxian, and these days I often go to the palace of the nobles, and I often reward them after being favored." The birth control pill is probably in the hope of having another Fucha child." Hai Lan shook her head and said, "Actually speaking of the children of the Fucha clan, isn't Yonghuang's biological mother, the imperial concubine Zhemin, also the Fucha clan? I heard that since Yonghuang was reprimanded by the emperor last year, he has been in a trance and always said that he dreamed The noble concubine Zhemin mourned and cried at him. He was restless day and night, and became more and more ill. His Fujin Yilali family came to see the imperial concubine yesterday, and he kept crying. The emperor never visited him in person. Naturally, perhaps it was the previous dynasty There are many things, the emperor can't separate himself." Ruyi pinched a branch of green peach blossoms that she had offered and played with it in the palm of her hand. The bright rouge color complemented the slender hands, and the red and white were gorgeous and elegant.She said slowly: "Yonghuang is like this, so why not Yongzhang who is a pure noble concubine. Although the emperor comforts Yonghuang's condition, he often asks the imperial doctor to look at him, and he is willing to talk to Yongzhang. It's just that the relationship between father and son hurts in the end. Yes. I heard that Gao Bin, the father of Emperor Huixian, was reprimanded for Empress Xiaoxian's funeral that day, and he still hasn't recovered from it. So, if it involves Empress Xiaoxian, everyone has to be careful It is." After chatting like this for a long time, someone from the palace came to invite Ruyi to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, saying that the emperor took out the famous painting "Moonwave Playing the Flute" by the painter Yu Zhiding from the Ruyi Hall to admire with her.Everyone knew that the emperor had always liked to appreciate calligraphy and painting with Ruyi, and occasionally he would draw a picture himself for the House of Internal Affairs to burn porcelain when he got excited, so they also got interested, and they all dispersed for a while.Yan Wan took Chunchan and Lan Cui back, thinking about buying some colored porcelain for the Yongshou Palace, so she went around the Imperial Garden to the antique house in Dongwusuo. It just so happened that Lu Yun brought the maid in front of her and strolled over, seeing her frowning and frowning, she seemed displeased.Yan Wan hurriedly asked for peace and said: "Pure imperial concubine, good luck and golden safety. Why is your face so sad?" Luyun asked her to get up, and said with a wry smile: "The emperor just told Yongzhang to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to inquire about his homework, and the concubine also knows about my son..." Yan Wan smiled and said: "Your Majesty's elder brother is naturally good. Even if he is weaker in knowledge, he has the most gentle and honest temperament, so the emperor knows it. Virtue is the foundation of one's life, and the emperor also looks at the third elder brother's character. Not bad, that's why he cares so much about his studies." What he said made Luyun smile, and said again and again: "No wonder the emperor loves your concubine Ling so much, he really knows what's going on, he is a person who knows the cold and the hot." Yan Wan quickly thanked her, and said: "I heard that a few days ago, the noble lady was disrespectful to the empress. Fortunately, the empress is also a generous person. Now that she is down and out, the empress has never treated her like that." Kexin said: "Isn't it? The noble man is worried about Brother Jiu's health, and always wanders outside Brother Jiu's house, wanting to see Brother Jiu. But the palace rules limit, how can we do it? Moreover, Brother Jiu cries uneasy day and night, Our little master took pity on the child, and even asked someone to send a jade bottle to sleep in. Only the little master is so magnanimous." Luyun sighed and said: "Yongzhang was not allowed to be raised by my side when he was young, I know the pain of separation between mother and child, not to mention Jiu elder brother is sick, why should I bother with Jiagui." After talking like this, the two also broke up. Yan Wan smiled and said: "With such a cowardly temperament, it's no wonder that as a noble concubine, she still achieves nothing, and she will be like this in this life." Just entering the antique room, the eunuch in charge yelled at the palace people: "Be careful with your hands and feet, a mouse from nowhere knocked down an enamel bottle, and the steward was given twenty whips. Be careful with your skin!" He was counting down, when he turned around and saw Yan Wan coming, he laughed and flattered him. Lan Cui didn't pay any attention, and just said: "It's already April now, our little master wants to put some bottles and jars with brighter colors in the pavilion, so that the emperor will look fresh and comfortable when he comes. But what's the matter?" Is it a good thing?" Yan Wan's eyes were sharp, seeing a white jade vase on the ancient shelf, looking as delicate as fat, smooth and shiny, she stretched out her slender jade finger and said with a smile: "That one is not bad." Seeing that Yan Wan liked it, the eunuch in charge immediately smiled and said: "Oh, your concubine has good eyesight. This jade bottle was sent by Li Chao's envoy when Jiagui gave birth to Brother Nine. This time Concubine Chun heard that elder brother Jiu had a cold and was crying day and night, so she asked the servants to send this jade bottle to elder brother Jiu to keep it in order to calm the nerves." Lan Cui snorted softly: "You guys are too ignorant. Brother Jiu is just a noble man, and our young master is a concubine. Seeing what Li Chaojin offered, it is flattering them." Yan Wan glanced sideways, Lan Cui was too frightened to make a sound.Yan Wan smiled softly: "The little girl doesn't care about the seriousness of her mouth, and told the father-in-law to laugh at the Yongshou Palace for having no rules." The eunuch in charge repeatedly said "Don't dare", and Yan Wan smiled and said: "The ninth elder brother is the emperor's heir. If the emperor's heir is uneasy, the emperor's sacred heart is uneasy. If you have any good things, you should send them to the elder brother's place as soon as possible." Come on, don't delay." After that, she picked out a few pieces of porcelain at random, and then left. After leaving the antique room, Lan Cui was still dissatisfied: "Pure imperial concubine is too good at catching and selling her, and I used the things Li Chaojin offered to calm the nerves of elder brother Jiu. It didn't cost her anything, she just talked about it, and she was betrayed by the emperor." A virtuous impression."
