"Is the Emperor seriously ill?" Yuanchun leisurely picked up a green scented ball, put it in front of the tip of her nose and took a sniff. She liked peonies very much, and this kind of green peony was also her favorite type. It was pure blue. "This green Who sent the fragrant balls? They are more beautiful than Yao, Huang, and Wei Zi. Let them send more. I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expected Qingshan to see me in the same way. Duke Jiaxuan’s words are deeply in my heart."
Baoqin didn't reply. She knew that the empress had no intention of asking him to answer, but was just asking and answering her own question.
"Your Majesty is over eighty. Not to mention his good health and his age. If everyone still regards him as the backbone, it would be a bit hasty." Yuanchun raised his head, and the green fragrant ball in his hand trembled slightly. , swaying, "I'm afraid Mei Yuexi is a little frightened again."
"Prime Minister Dai has gone back to Renshou Palace again. Madam, do you need to go and say hello?" Baoqin reminded carefully: "It seems that all the madams have gone,..."
"What am I going to do?" Yuanchun shook his head gently, "People may not want to see me. Those who go there are all princes, and they all have some thoughts. Unless the concubine calls me, I will not go to Renshou Palace. , why bother people’s eyes? They didn’t go either, right?”
Baoqin understood who Yuanchun meant by "them" and nodded: "I haven't even gone yet, but Concubine Shu came here to ask."
"Oh? She is cautious." Yuan Chun didn't care. Concubine Zheng seemed to have noticed some changes in the direction of the wind during this period. She came to her side more often, and her intention to please was more obvious.
Perhaps they were aware that the situation in the palace was becoming more and more tense, and they, the concubines who had no heirs, no longer had much sense of existence.
The four concubines Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Jia, and the virtuous Shude who entered the palace did not have a good relationship with each other at first. Especially the second concubine Zhou and Wu were even more indifferent to Yuan Chun because of their family background.
But as time went by, the status of the four noble concubines Xu, Su, Mei, and Guo, who had sons, increased day by day. They had completely distanced themselves from the undercomers like them, and they did not even take notice of them at all. How talented they were. Gradually, I realized that I and the others were just decorations, used to decorate the facade.
The emperor's attitude towards them was very distant, and he didn't care about them at all. He rarely even met them, and when they did, he dismissed them with a few indifferent words.
After a few years of this kind of life, everyone would become cold-blooded, especially when the Emperor Tiedenshan fell into coma after Qiu Xiang, not to mention Gu Ying's self-pitying mood made the girls slowly ease the original deadlock and began to Get moving.
But what's the point of moving around in this situation? In addition, from time to time Su Meiguo and others would stir up trouble and stir up trouble, which made them still a little suspicious and their relationship could never get close.
Yuan Chun was also sandwiched between those people. He had to wear a lot of small shoes, suffered a lot of grievances, and was beaten a lot by Feng Ziying. Then he slowly withdrew, maintaining a detached posture, and his life became quiet and moist. .
Of course, the biggest change here was that she had an affair with Feng Ziying. Chongxuan watched the spring breeze and became a real woman. Only then did Yuan Chun understand the true meaning of being a woman. However, Feng Ziying was ruthless and left in a hurry, leaving Having just tasted the marrow, she felt extremely resentful and aggrieved.
"I heard that several prime ministers from the Central and Central Cabinets have gone to Renshou Palace one after another. I think the Supreme Emperor must be really ill," Baoqin said again.
"No matter how sick you are, it has nothing to do with us. It's not our turn to go. If you really need us to go, the concubine will say hello. At this time, you are just making trouble. Do you really think that Xu Junru and Mei Yuexi are easy to get along with?" If you go to them, you might have to use the topic to work out something."
Yuanchun now has more things to do than less things to do. He doesn't want to get involved in the palace affairs at all. He just hopes that Feng Ziying can come back as soon as possible to fulfill his promise.
Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinjun all pretended to woo her, but seeing her lack of interest, there was no movement. In addition, Feng Ziying had left the capital, and her name was gradually less heard in the capital. It gradually faded away.
"Your Majesty has thought it through, let's not stir up trouble and live peacefully." Baoqin said softly: "But I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens to the Supreme Emperor, the palace will be in turmoil again, and maybe Concubine Quan and the others will have another Come to find out the truth and get
The empress cannot live in peace. "
"Didn't Ziying also say that? How can we avoid these mundane things in this world? We are in a place like the palace, which is even more impossible. We can only use soldiers to cover up the water and the earth." Yuanchun smiled sweetly, " I don’t want to stay here at all in this life, hey, I’m just looking forward to..."
He didn't say any more words, but a blush appeared on his cheeks and the look of anticipation in his eyes made even Bao Qin sigh.
How could Feng Ziying and He De make the queen care about her so much? He would break her body without saying a word, just pat her butt and leave, leaving behind a few empty words, leaving the queen haunted by dreams. If she really suffers the consequences in the future If she wants to marry the empress, she will not let the other person go, even if she is willing to be cut off, she will pull him down.
"My Lady, please don't be so worried. Uncle Feng is doing well in Shaanxi. The newspapers also say that the chaos in Shaanxi is gradually calming down. Uncle Feng is highly regarded by the public. People in the court say that he is easy to carry out and his momentum is as strong as breaking a bamboo..." Baoqin picked up a few comments from "Today's News" to describe it.
"Well, I'm not worried about this. He has always been the best at fighting. Didn't the Yongping Mansion beat the Mongols to pieces? If not, the imperial court couldn't use him to go to Shaanxi." Yuanchun naturally felt helpless in front of Baoqin. Why would he be embarrassed to be secretive? "I'm worried that the imperial court will not think that he is very capable, and it will be self-defeating if they ask him to completely cure Shaanxi, or let him go to Shanxi to continue his work. I heard that Shanxi is now I’m also uneasy.”
Baoqin was surprised, "Is your Majesty worried about this? I think this is not a bad thing. If the court relies on Uncle Feng so much, Uncle Feng will be used more important in the future."
Yuan Chun glanced at this loyal girl, but he didn't want to reveal too much about his thoughts, and said very implicitly: "That's what I said, but he is so young, and the court seems to be inseparable from him. Are they going to be the target of public criticism again?" There are not many people in that subject, or even in the previous subjects, who were promoted as quickly as he was, so I think it would be more appropriate to return to Beijing to be more stable."
"Is it safe to return to the capital?" Baoqin pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Although I am stupid, I also know that after returning to the capital, Uncle Feng can only be the Minister of Qibu or the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, or the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now, how can it be called steady? I think it should be called dazzling."
Yuan Chun was also amused by Baoqin's words, but he had to admit that Baoqin was right.
What kind of job could a third-level official in his early twenties have when he returned to Beijing, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture? Seven ministers? Which one can keep a low profile?
"Do you miss Uncle Feng?" Baoqin glanced at Yuanchun and asked boldly.
"Presumptuous!" Yuanchun scolded, but then rolled his eyes at Baoqin: "Asking even though you know clearly."
Baoqin laughed again, "My slave is right, so your Majesty hopes that Uncle Feng will come back early and not go out again? But have you ever thought about it, if Uncle Feng comes back, you really want to find a way to get your Majesty out of the palace?" Can the empress stay in the capital city all the time? I'm afraid the risk is too great. If Long Jinwei and the others find out, wouldn't it be a catastrophic disaster? That's why I think that even if Uncle Feng wants to come back, it's best if he can It’s best to stay in the capital for a while and then go out. When everyone has forgotten about it in three to five years, maybe it’s a good time to come back.”
Yuanchun was stunned. She didn't expect that Baoqin had thought so thoughtfully for her. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I don't know how Ziying plans to get me out? Isn't it okay to stay in the capital?"
"It's not impossible to stay in Beijing, but what kind of life does the empress want to live? The people in Uncle Feng's house, Miss Bao, Miss Lin, and the second girl, they are all sisters of the empress and are very familiar with her. If she is If you stay in the capital, your flaws will be exposed sooner or later, unless..."
Baoqin's words made Yuanchun feel cold, but the last sentence gave Yuanchun hope, "Unless what?"
"Unless Uncle Feng can let Miss Bao, Miss Lin and Miss Er know what happened between him and the empress, or there is a tacit understanding and everyone can communicate as usual..." There is too much uncertainty hidden in Baoqin's words. In fact, She wasn't even remotely sure that she could do this. She could only imagine that Feng Ziying had the ability to change things and make everyone accept this. "But even so, we still have to prevent people below from noticing. This is also a difficult problem."
Yuanchun put his hand on his forehead, looked at Baoqin, and said with some hatred: "Damn girl, did you say this to make me angry on purpose? How could you do this? It is impossible for Ziying to be the emperor..."
Baoqin pursed his lips and smiled at the corner of his eyes, "This slave just proposed this idea. Whether it can be done or not is up to Uncle Feng to figure out for himself. They say that Uncle Feng is omnipotent. What if Uncle Feng can really do this? Has the problem been solved? Just like leaving the palace, the empress has thought about how Uncle Feng can let the empress leave the palace quietly and safely. Anyway, the servant has not come up with any good ideas until now, but Uncle Feng is very sure that it can be done. .”
Yuan Chun dropped the green peony in his hand and gave it to Bao Qin, and walked a few steps angrily before stopping: "What you just said is simply a fantasy. If the matter between Ziying and I were to affect Baochai and Dai Yu and the second girl know, how can I go to see them?"
"But if the empress wants to stay together with Uncle Feng for a long time, how can she hide it from his pillow?" Bao Qin was reluctant: "Maybe it can be fooled in a year and a half, but no matter how long it takes, it will never happen." Maybe, even the maids in the mansion can detect it, and what if the empress is pregnant and gives birth to a child? Can she still hide it? "
