The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Chapter 38

Jade skin can not help ice muscle cold (2)

Zhu Chengbi supported Zhu Xi's hands and walked slowly in Yongxiang. He recuperated in Hanzhang Palace for a few days and only handed over the affairs of the palace to Concubine He and Concubine Yi to take care of them. Now the calf injury has healed a lot. Fuyan Ruyu Cream is really effective in coagulating blood stains, and if used together with Yulu Agar Cream, it will surely not leave scars.

It is almost May now, and the breath of spring is more and more diffuse. The air is full of fragrant flowers and freshness. Looking around Ziao City, the red walls and golden tiles are all submerged in a variety of purples and reds, like a horse. The fine brocade silks and satins are slowly being laid out, which is indeed a scene of prosperity and royal style.

Zhu Chengbi took a few deep breaths of fresh air, these days he was stuffy in Hanzhang Palace, Imperial Physician Liang was fine, he told Yidan that the old knee injury had not healed, the residual poison of Crane Crown Red had not been cleared, and he slept every night Not good, in the end I can't go here, I can't go there, I can't eat this, I can't eat that, if it wasn't for concubine He, Concubine En, and the others to chat with each other every day to relieve boredom, I'm afraid my body would be moldy .

Zhu Xi looked sideways slightly, seeing that Zhu Chengbi seemed to be in a good mood, he also smiled and said: "A few days ago, the king of Liang called the concubine to come and talk with the empress, and he talked a lot of nonsense, and brought all kinds of expensive supplements, I'm afraid the Yufu Pavilion will be full, and the empress won't be able to finish it even if she eats it until next year."

Zhu Chengbi shook his head and smiled lightly, turning his thoughts slightly, Yichen treated the princess Xu Huiyin very well, and there was only one side concubine in the mansion besides the princess.At the beginning, because Xu Huiyin fell ill after giving birth to Changning Zongji, the palace had no heirs, so he respected the emperor's will and accepted a side concubine.The side concubine was also upbeat, and gave birth to a son within two years of entering the mansion, but the side concubine treated Xu Huiyin very respectfully, and there was never any trouble in Liang Wang's mansion.

Thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel a little bit jealous. The concubine is an extremely gentle and virtuous person, with the tenderness and demureness of a Jiangnan woman. I'm afraid she, a cruel and merciless woman, cannot match her.

Zhu Chengbi sighed slightly, then turned to think again, Yidan's body is not as good as before, apart from Guanju Palace, he only walks around Concubine Yi, Concubine He and his own palace, and rarely likes singing, dancing, drinking and banqueting.

A few days ago, I persuaded Yidan to do another draft to fill the vacant concubine in the palace, but he was not very active, he only called Su Jieyu, who was promoted to Changyang Palace, a third-rank noble concubine, without even a title Again, only the surname is used as the number.Concubine Su Gui entered the palace during the first batch of drafts eight years ago. She has a gentle temperament and never gets involved in right and wrong. Jingchun Palace.

However, the seventh son of the emperor died early two years ago, and his biological mother, Qin Guiren, was a member of Changyang Palace, and died of illness not long after.Qin Guiren was originally a dancer from the Shangyi Bureau, and she was blessed by the heavens. She was able to conceive and give birth to a prince when Concubine Shu Gui was monopolizing her favor, but the seventh son of the emperor was not pregnant enough, and died before the full moon ceremony. up.Both the mother and the child died, and the Su family couldn't escape the guilt of not taking good care of them, so they gradually fell out of favor. In addition, they have been in poor health for the past two years, and they rarely even participated in the banquets in the palace. I'm afraid it will sink forever.

Zhu Chengbi's eyes darkened slightly, although he suggested that he could be promoted to the position of Concubine En, but Yi Dan thought that Concubine En's family background was not high. The old man is Du Fenyi from Hexutang, who has been promoted to the fourth rank of Ronghua.

In fact, Du Ronghua has a good temperament, but in terms of favor, he is not as good as Concubine Shen and Noble Xi. Although he has been in the palace for eight years and has a lot of qualifications, he has been silent for a long time. This promotion is just because his father has won the appreciation of Yichen. After Bolinghou's party was purged, he was only recruited as a fifth-rank doctor from the Ministry of Water. Because he did a few things well, he also got Yidan's attention, and he can be regarded as a person whose official career has improved.

It's just that Concubine Shu is considered to be from a high family background?Zhu Chengbi sneered slightly, but she was only a barbarian woman, but she was able to rank first among the four concubines of the first rank. No wonder Zhu Xiuyi ran to the Yiyuan Hall in a fit of anger to cry and admonish her.It's nothing more than Zhu Xiuyi, Zuo is just the daughter of a meritorious official who was picked up by Yidan in the year when she became the throne, and she was given the title of a fifth-rank concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she was quite favored, but she relied on her own His status, his self-esteem was too high, and he fell out of favor after a few years, but Luo Fangyi and Pan Cairen, who were considered favored in Chengguang Palace, fell into bad luck together.

In fact, suppressing the position of Concubine En, I am afraid that it also has the meaning of promoting Xuanqing. After all, Xuanfen was raised by his concubine, so it is not considered too low-born, but Xuanqing was born to a barbarian woman after all, and he cannot leave it alone. If he is established as a prince, it will be difficult to convince the public.Zhu Chengbi gently rubbed the center of his brows, if Yidan really planned this way, things would be really tricky.

Thinking like this, suddenly heard commotion in front, a little palace lady hurried over, saw that it was Zhu Chengbi, knelt down hurriedly and said: "Concubine Lin, it's not good, Concubine Yangui took a dagger to hold His Highness Fourth."

Zhu Chengbi was so frightened that he was dizzy and dizzy. He only felt a few big drums beating in his ears. The noise seemed to hit his heart, and his legs staggered. ! Your Majesty!”

There is a panic here, while Concubine Yangui has held Xuan Ling hostage and slowly come over. Xuan Ling's small face was pale with fright, but he just stared at the dagger on his neck. It is inlaid with a very eye-catching ruby, which is extraordinarily coquettish, and the blade is extremely sharp. Just looking at it, you will feel a trace of coldness on your body, and the flash of sunlight will make you dizzy.

Zhu Chengbi had come back to his senses at this time, pressed his chest firmly and shouted loudly: "Concubine Yangui, are you crazy, put down the dagger!"

Concubine Yangui's attire today is extremely luxurious, wearing a bright red skirt with pearls paired with peacocks, embroidered with silver thread and pearls to embroider passionflowers with blue cloud patterns and twigs with twining treasures, inlaid with crystal rhinestones, in a magnificent There was something elegant about her, and the gilt filigree dot emerald bead step rocker on her temples added a bit of extravagance, but the strong anger and hatred exuded from her body made people dare not approach her.

"Ben Gong is crazy?" Concubine Yangui sneered, staring at Zhu Chengbi and said, "Ben Gong is very sober, because Ben Gong is avenging her own child!"

Zhu Chengbi turned pale with shock, but tried his best not to look at Xuan Ling, whose face was full of tears, but raised his eyebrows to meet Han Yajie's glaring gaze: "The concubine Migui is dead, and she can only be buried as a concubine. If you want revenge, go underground to find her. What is holding Ling'er hostage?"

Concubine Yangui chuckled, and firmly grasped the dagger in her hand: "Zhu Chengbi! Do you think I'm a fool? What a way to kill two birds with one stone. If you have children, I'm not allowed to have children!"

Zhu Chengbi's heart felt like colic, and he was so anxious that he almost shed tears: "Don't hurt my child!"

Concubine Yangui smiled sweetly: "Are you afraid? So you will be afraid too! You have such a vicious heart, Jing'er is so small, how can you handle it!" Satisfied, the dagger could not help but move a little closer to Xuanling's snow-white neck, "Then, I will let you experience the pain of bereavement today!"

The sound of "whoosh" was an extremely ear-piercing roar, as if a huge hole had been torn open between the heaven and the earth. In a trance, Zhu Chengbi only felt that the sky and the earth were spinning, and his brain was throbbing with pain.

It was a sharp arrow that pierced Concubine Yangui's throat, and drops of bright red blood fell from the silver arrowhead. It was such a cruel and gorgeous color, reflecting the blue and distant sky, as if it was an extremely gorgeous Peonies are falling from the branches.

With a sound of "ding", the dagger fell from Concubine Yangui's hand. Xuanling struggled to get out of the arms of the God of Death, and rushed towards Zhu Chengbi with open arms. Shooting out strong hatred, unwillingness and disbelief, she slowly threw herself to the ground, but her gaze was as sharp as a dagger, and she pressed herself tightly until she died, without moving an inch.

Rushed footsteps rushed over with the sound of the wind, Yizhen was full of anxiety: "Your Majesty was shocked, how is Fourth Highness?"

Zhu Chengbi smiled weakly at him: "You are here." In an instant, big and big tears burst down, and the sound of sobbing rose from his throat, "Why did you come..."

The world seemed to be spinning, but Zhu Chengbi fell headlong into Yichen's arms.

Hearing that Concubine Yangui had kidnapped Xuanling, Yidan was furious, and issued several imperial edicts one after another, first depriving the title of the Han family, and only being buried in the tomb of the clan's relatives as a servant, and no posthumous title was allowed, and then expelled His father, Han Pingrui, will never be hired for an official position.In the end, Han Yajie's end was even more tragic than that of Mi Guifei.

As for Liang Wang Zhou Yizhen, although he shot and killed the emperor's concubine privately, considering the urgency of the situation, instead of reprimanding him, Yidan rewarded him for his courage.This made the concubines in the harem more submissive to Concubine Lin, and they naturally understood the status of Concubine Lin, aside from Concubine Shu, she was incomparable in Zi'ao City.

At that time, Zhu Chengbi was leaning on the head of the bed, slowly drinking a cup of golden silk bird's nest, while listening to the chatter of bamboo breath, but his thoughts had already flown out of Hanzhang Palace, fortunately, that At that time, Yizhen went to Yining Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as she was in a daze, Zhu Yu came in and said, "Madam, Madam Shu Guifei is here."

Concubine Shu wore a cherry-purple gold plated pleated phoenix-tailed long skirt, which was covered with large acacia flowers, which seemed to fill the entire dormitory from the hem of the skirt. , it makes her look like the fairy of the nine-layered phoenix.Even though she ranks first among the four concubines of the first grade and is the first noble among the concubines in the harem, she never strives for luxury and complexity in her clothing, but even the most common palace clothes are worn on her body. They all look so elegant and unsullied.

Zhu Chengbi smiled slightly, but, no matter how simple and clean Concubine Shu is to show the public, the three extremely extravagant and gorgeous golden thread clothes Yidan made for her before will always be the talk of the courtiers. The conversation after tea and dinner, even if Shu Guifei put it on the shelf, it would be in vain.

Concubine Shu Gui was sitting lightly on the head of the bed, her tone of voice was slightly urgent: "Is sister better?"

Zhu Chengbi smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that I was frightened."

Concubine Shu Gui seemed a little annoyed: "Master Han is really brave, dare to attack the Fourth Highness!"

Zhu Chengbi gently placed the white jade lotus cup in his hand on the bedside, and said slowly: "She just lost her mind because of that poor child, if she saw Xuan Qing or Xuan Fen at that time, she might not know the same thing. Anyway."

Concubine Shu Gui was slightly shocked, glanced at Zhu Chengbi, and said with some hesitation: "Cumulus Yun told me that before Concubine Yan Gui died, she seemed to have mentioned something about her sister..."

Zhu Chengbi kept his composure, glanced at Concubine Shu Gui sharply, then narrowed his eyes that were as cold as frost, and said with a smile: "Cumulus' ears are sharp, but since Concubine Yangui has lost her mind, her Crazy words are naturally uncountable, if the empress thinks the words of a madman wielding a dagger are credible, then the empress is unwise."

Concubine Shu Gui hurriedly said: "I'm not suspicious of my sister, but my sister has wrongly blamed me."

Zhu Chengbi shook Concubine Shu's soft hands, and said with all his heart, "How dare a concubine be suspicious of your mother? It's just that the emperor has told you that you don't need to let your mother know some unpleasant words from the palace people. Naturally, your mother understands, Purple Austrian City is no more than the Taiping Palace, there are a lot of gossips."

Zhu Xi smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty said yes, not to mention Concubine Yangui dislikes Concubine Gui and Concubine Lin very much, and often utters words of resentment." After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi changed his expression again To Zhu Chengbi, "Kapian got the news just now that Yuezhu committed suicide in Changxin Palace. I think I was worried that I would be involved in the matter of Concubine Yangui."

Zhu Chengbi frowned slightly: "As the head of the three concubines, I can't ignore the matter of taking pictures of the sixth palace. Why did Concubine Yangui suddenly run out of Changxin Palace with a dagger in her hand? Could it be that Changxin Palace is full of wood?" A lump? Although Yuezhu is dead, the other palace people are still there, and they will all be sent to the violence room for interrogation, so as not to disturb the purity of the imperial concubine or empress with their gossip."

Concubine Shu Gui smiled warmly: "The emperor is right, with my sister here, the harem will definitely be much cleaner."
