The Job of an Imperial Concubine

The icy cold wind, the dead leaves fluttering in the night wind, and the shrill cry of a woman.

The eunuch looked at Qian Wanyi, who was no longer beautiful, and said with a smile, "Qian Wanyi, please go on your way."

Qian Wanyi stared stiffly at the white silk that was as white as snow, she couldn't stop shaking her head and retreating, she didn't want to die, she was afraid of death, she wanted to live, she wanted to live aloofly!

But the eunuchs couldn't tolerate her struggling, they strode forward, wrapped the white silk around her neck, and said indifferently: "Reincarnate in the next life, don't do immoral things again, let's go all the way." .

After half a stick of incense, the leading eunuch saw that the eunuchs in the room had retreated, so he knew it was over. He waved his hand and signaled the Taoist behind him to go in: "Remember to clean up."

The Taoist nodded, shook the whisk in his hand, and walked in silently.

"Drag people out when you're done. There is an order from the emperor to bury them according to the last dressing class. We don't have to bother." Changing clothes from the ninth rank is a status, but in fact even a court lady with some status It's not as good, this Qian Wanyi can be regarded as dizzy, everyone in the whole harem doesn't know that the emperor values ​​Concubine Zhao, and she wants to plot against Concubine Zhao. It doesn't matter if you don't have enough contacts, but you don't have a good brain, so you don't know if it's worth it to lose your life like this.

Half an hour later, Qian Wanyi was carried out, the leading eunuch wiped his hands, and said to the young eunuch behind him: "Let's go, the miscellaneous family has to return to Eunuch Gao."

The Qianzheng Palace was brightly lit, Feng Jin listened to Gao Dezhong's report, and said calmly: "Since the matter is over, I won't mention it any more, let people take a good look at Xihe Palace, I want Concubine Zhao and the child to be well."

Gao Dezhong took the order to retreat, and he felt a sigh of relief when he got out of the main hall, but faintly felt that he seemed to know something he shouldn't know.

Qian Wanyi's death made the concubines in the harem more honest. When the child in Zhuang Luorou's womb was eight months old, the weather was getting hotter. The ice basin was in the corner of the room, and the palace maid kept fanning her to relieve the irritating heat.

The imperial physician would come to ask for pulse three times a day, the fetus in the womb was fine, Zhuang Luoyan was not worried, but the fetus in the womb was too strong when it moved, sometimes the pain made her a little uncomfortable. It was also inconvenient to sleep at night, and when it was extremely hot, she felt that she couldn't breathe well, so her temper became more and more bad.

It finally rained, and the next day was much cooler. Zhuang Luoyan held Yun Xi's hand and went for a walk in the Imperial Garden, only to see Concubine Yangui and Su Xiuyi having a verbal fight in a gazebo, and even mentioned herself. '

She was not in a good temper right now, so she sneered and said, "You two are so interested, since you have an opinion on me, why don't you say it in front of me."

The two of them did not expect that Zhuang Luoyan, who was eight months pregnant, would appear in this place, and their complexion suddenly changed, and they knelt down with a plop. They themselves also know that even the empress in the harem has to give Zhuang Luoyan some face, let alone these concubines who don't have much favor.

"Yo, why don't you say it?" Zhuang Luoyan waved the fan in her hand, sat down at the stone table in the pavilion, and said coldly, "I don't know what it means to have children occupying the emperor every day, and Su Xiuyi's Do you have grievances against the emperor and this palace?"

Su Xiuyi's voice trembled: "I don't dare to concubine." Without the protection of Concubine Shu, although she was still bad-tempered, she was much less courageous. Her current appearance reminded Zhuang Luoyan of her contemptuous appearance back then. .

Zhuang Luoyan glanced at her, and her eyes fell on Concubine Yan: "You are a noble concubine who dares to talk back to Xiu Yi, who gave you the courage?" Ever since Concubine Shu's decline, Su Xiuyi's life in the harem has also become difficult , and now even Concubine Yan Gui is making things difficult for her, which shows what kind of life she is living now.

The concubine Yangui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine quarreled with Su Xiuyi because she said something disrespectful to you, Madam."

"Oh?" Zhuang Luoyan paused with the fan, then smiled, "I don't know when Yan Guifei cares about me so much."

Concubine Yangui bit her lip, not daring to argue. She had a bad relationship with Zhuang Luoyan in the past, and even made things worse when Zhuang Luoyan was in decline. Now that Zhuang Luoyan said this, she is really irrefutable.

The smile on Zhuang Luoyan's face suddenly receded like a tide, "Come here, Concubine Yangui and Su Xiuyi, regardless of their rank, slap thirty."

"Yes!" Ting Zhu from behind led a few court ladies up, ignored their struggles, and went down with heavy ears.

Hearing the crisp sound of slaps, Zhuang Luoyan suddenly remembered that when she first came to this world, the original owner had been slapped by Mrs. Ma. Now those who feel sorry for the original owner have become the past tense of the harem. Who else will embarrass himself?

She looked away, instead of looking at Su Xiuyi and Yan Guifei, stood up slowly while supporting Yun Xi's hand, walked outside the gazebo, looked at the butterflies fluttering not far away, stroked her stomach, and suddenly smiled Yes, at least in this world, there is one person who truly exists because of her.

The concubine and the emperor may have real feelings, but more of them are still false. She doesn't know how much Feng Jin really means to her, but there is one thing she needs to thank him for, that is, he tried his best to protect the child in her stomach . Otherwise, despite all her scheming efforts, she would not be able to keep this child.

"The emperor is here!"

Zhuang Luoyan turned her head and saw Feng Jin walking towards her, she looked back at Tingzhu and the others who had stopped, and greeted him with a smile on her face, "Why is the emperor here?"

"Just passing by here," Feng Jin supported her, and glanced at the kneeling person in the gazebo, "What happened to Su Xiuyi and Concubine Yangui?"

"When my concubine came over just now, I just heard the two of them quarreling, and mentioned that the concubine is taking advantage of the child to occupy the emperor, and the concubine is so angry that people can't let them talk." Zhuang Luoyan looked a little unhappy, "I didn't want the emperor to come here .”

"Since that's the case, don't stop and continue to slap your mouth." Feng Jin glanced at the pavilion lightly, and slowly walked forward holding Zhuang Luoyan's hand, "Luo Yan, what do you think of the queen?"

Zhuang Luoyan didn't expect Feng Jin to say this suddenly, she looked at Feng Jin's calm face in a daze, and said after a while: "The empress acts justly and manages the harem very well."

After a long while of silence, Feng Jin let go of her hand, put it behind her back and said, "I understand."

Zhuang Luoyan shook the round fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's the same for the emperor." This man is ruthless, but not so heartless and ungrateful that he is inhuman.

It was the first time I heard Zhuang Luoyan say such straightforward words, Feng Jin was a little surprised, he looked at this smiling woman, his mood was extremely complicated, but there was an indescribable ease, "She married at the age of fifteen. I, it has been more than ten years now."

Zhuang Luoyan lowered her eyelids and looked at the round fan in her hand. The beauty on it was sitting on the railing, but the gorgeous beauty was alone, "The empress is very good." After finishing speaking, she looked up at Feng Jin.

The four eyes met, and finally Feng Jin looked away first, he took Zhuang Luoyan's hand again, and sighed lightly: "I will accompany you back to the palace, the weather will be hot soon."

In the summer of the 11th year of Chengxuan, Duanhe's mother family, the Zhao family, was confiscated by the emperor and demoted to common people because of many serious crimes. Because of the friendship between the emperor and the empress, the Zhao family was not beheaded, but sent to the frontier. Emperor Cheng Xuan even famously said that after three generations of the Zhao family, they are still eligible for the imperial examination.
