Pixiangdian, Wen Jieyu.
Pixiangdian Jiang Xuening knew about it, but if she wanted to talk about Wen Jieyu, she didn't have much impression. Listening to this status, it is not considered very high in the harem, so what can it lead to?
Thinking from this direction, I have no clue.
On the way back from her fasting, she felt that this matter was of great importance, so she racked her brains and simply forced herself to think in another direction: Did any major events happen at this time in the previous life?
The biggest thing is that the residence of Yongyihou was ransacked.
At that time, after she came back from the Hou's mansion, she was in a daze. She was so frightened that she fell seriously ill and was bedridden for several days. During this period, only Linzi Wang Shen Jie still thought about her from time to time, and sent someone to check on the situation.
When she recovered from her illness, she heard that someone in Beijing had robbed the sky prison. The emperor was furious like thunder and punished many officials in Beijing, causing many ministers to die.
Is there anything else?
For example, several days have passed since the incident, why did Shen Lang suddenly become furious again?
It had only snowed two days ago, the weather had already turned cold, and there was no one on the palace road.
Only the sound of her light footsteps passed on.
One thought turned and ten thousand thoughts followed, a flash of lightning flashed across her mind, Jiang Xuening's footsteps that had been moving forward suddenly stopped, and even her eyes widened: Except for the prison of chaos and chaos, in the prison where she was ill, During a period of time, there seemed to be an incident in the palace that was not considered a big deal in other courts but definitely not a small matter in this dynasty, especially during Shen Lang's reign...
Back at Yangzhizhai, everyone was already preparing for the afternoon chanting plums and enjoying the snow.
This time Jiang Xuening was not sick, so naturally she couldn't get sick anymore.
So I had no choice but to tidy up my plain clothes and put on a pink and blue cloak. Among the crowd vying for beauty, I was just in the middle class, neither because I was too out of line to be noticed, nor because I was too shabby.
She looked the same as before.
Others have not been under the same roof with her for a long time, but they can't see anything.
But Jiang Xuehui is also her elder sister, even if the two sisters usually have festivals, they can be considered to know each other a little bit. Looking at her for some reason, she felt that her face was covered with a shadow, and she turned her head quietly on the way to the plum garden. He asked her three times, and frowned slightly, but after thinking about the relationship between the two, he finally didn't ask.
Jiang Xuening felt happy and relaxed.
The various plum blossoms planted in the plum garden are now in full bloom.
The snow from the previous two days hadn't completely melted, and it was piled up under the plum trees. The blue sky and white snow reflected the red plums, which was really beautiful.
In the harem, headed by Empress Dowager Xiao, almost everyone has arrived.
In the Kanxue Pavilion in the southeast corner of the plum garden, most of Yang Zhizhai's companions, after entering the palace for so long, finally saw the emperor's harem for the first time, the concubines of the emperor.
The one sitting at the top is the Empress Dowager Xiao.
Below is the well-dressed Empress Zheng, and below that are the concubines with more delicate and more beautiful makeup, all of them are great beauties, either cold or lazy, with various postures, and some speak softly , and some are hearty and generous.
At first glance, it is really admirable.
As the emperor's Sangong and Liuyuan, there are countless concubines, and it can be said that he has enjoyed the blessings of all people.
When Jiang Xuening raised her head to look at it, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little contemptuous in her heart. Linzi King Shen Jie is not a person who indulges in sexual desires, but his elder brother Shen Lang was a man who enjoyed it when he was in power. There was a minister who couldn't stand it anymore and sent a memorial to persuade him to "prevent it at the banquet". It's not tactful, but how could Shen Lang listen? Instead, he became angry from embarrassment, and soon found an excuse to transfer the minister out of Beijing.
Heirs are difficult, can this not be difficult?
Fortunately, he has a younger brother, Shen Jie, who has a good relationship since he was a child. He does feel like a brother like a father, and Shen Jie is really obedient, so the rumors in the court have always been that the emperor appointed his younger brother as the crown prince when he had no heirs. , in order to block the world's leisurely public opinion.
Jiang Xuening didn't recognize many of these concubines.
Judging from her little contact in the previous life, at most she knew that the one sitting on the right hand of the empress, wearing a luxurious dot emerald headdress and looking a bit lazy, was Qin Guifei, who was currently being favored in the harem. Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are completely unknown to those with lower status.
Not to mention Wen Jieyu.
Zheng Bao had a warning beforehand, she kept in mind all the way here, when she accompanied the crowd to pay respects, she intentionally or unintentionally fell behind, and when she sat down after the ceremony, she naturally took the last seat, naturally farther away from the concubines.
Xiao Shu glanced at her very secretly.
Jiang Xuening didn't seem to realize it.
After the companions came in, the concubines in the harem looked at these young girls with different expressions in their eyes, but Empress Zheng has never been favored very much, and she is probably used to the scene of newcomers replacing old ones in the palace What's more, these young girls didn't enter the harem just to accompany them, so their expressions were the most natural and kind ones, and they also took the initiative to mention another thing: "A few days ago, the Holy Majesty mentioned to his concubines the matter of choosing a concubine for His Royal Highness Linzi. As for the matter, His Highness is more youthful, and it is time for His Highness to start a family and start a career, so that he can be more stable. Both Your Highness and the Holy One are descendants of the Empress Dowager, and this time I am afraid that I will have to work hard for His Highness again, so I will take a closer look at each other."
Today's Empress Dowager Xiao has lost the gloomy expression of the past few days. After all, almost everything that happened in the court today is in line with her wishes, so her face is full of spring breeze, and she even looks much younger.
Empress Zheng said this to please her.
The king of Linzi finally wants to choose a concubine, which means he will start a family and start a career. It is naturally good news for the mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, so it is rare that she did not pick on Empress Zheng. Selection, but how can a man know better than a woman about marriage? The queen is in charge of the harem, and the wives inside and outside are walking around, so you should pay more attention to your highness."
Empress Zheng felt a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "The concubine must do her best, and I also hope that His Highness will marry a concubine he likes."
Qin Guifei, who was sitting below, was holding a delicate hand stove in her arms, but she raised her eyelids when she heard the words, and lazily glanced at the group of Yang Zhizhai companions in the far corner, and made a joke with her voice: "Would you like it?" The concubine said, why do you need to work so hard? Well, don’t all the most talented and beautiful girls in the capital sit there? Let me tell you, it’s really killing two birds with one stone for Her Royal Highness to choose this companion. , In fact, there is no need to go to the selection process. I am afraid that our Princess Linzi is here right now."
It's not that those who are favored dare not say it.
After saying that, Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes fell on her, and she also looked over at the fellow readers, but she remained calm and said, "Who can say for sure? Elders are just guards, the important thing is He still likes it. All right, don’t talk to my old lady anymore, take advantage of the first snow this winter, it’s rare to come out and walk around, go and see more.”
The topic about Linzi Wang Shen Jie's choice of concubine was gently brought over.
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to say anything, got up in twos and threes and went to the plum garden.
For a while, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and people looked even more charming among the flowers.
Concubine Qin also got up with the hands of the palace servants and walked out slowly. A concubine with a round face and a light purple palace dress sitting a little to the side also got up and followed behind her consciously.
Then Qin Guifei took a look and stopped in front of Yao Xi.
It was rare for her to smile kindly: "I wanted to talk to you as soon as you entered Miyamoto Palace. After all, my mother often mentioned your mother. How is my cousin recently?"
Yao Xi's mother and Concubine Qin's mother are cousins. When she first entered the palace, she heard her father mention it, but as the saying goes, "A watch is three thousand miles away", Yao Xi never dared to be like Xiao Shu when she entered the palace. Generally high-profile, after all, the in-law relationship in the middle is too shallow.
It's not even necessarily expected to be remembered.
She never expected that the most favored imperial concubine in the harem would come up to her and talk about this for the first time today. , my mother is in good health, and the concubine Lao has missed her, and I have seen the concubine."
Having said that, there was a sudden pause.
As soon as Yao Xi raised her eyes, she saw the concubine standing next to Concubine Qin. After thinking about it for a while, her expression became a little cold, but she also politely said according to the rules: "I have seen Wen Jieyu."
Jiang Xuening, who was also about to get up and think about where to avoid disaster, heard these three words, her heart skipped a beat, she pulled Fang Miao beside her without thinking, and said, "Let's go down and have a look together."
Fang Miao was stunned.
Jiang Xuening had already taken her by the hand and walked out of the Xuexuan, without looking back at all.
That Concubine Qin had just pulled Yao Xi up, she glanced as if she was about to call someone else to join her, but she turned her head and saw that the position at the end was empty, and only two distant figures could be seen under the steps.
At this time, if you call someone again, it will appear a little deliberate.
Concubine Qin's meticulously drawn slender eyebrows raised lightly, glanced at Xiao Shu who hadn't walked out, and gave a look of "I can't help", and took the slightly timid and silent gentle man beside her without any flaws. Jieyu walked out together with Yao Xi who had just spoken.
Fang Miao was dragged out by Jiang Xuening for a while, but she still didn't come back to her senses, she couldn't help but glanced back, her eyes showed a bit of thought, she approached Jiang Xuening and asked, "Afraid someone will harm you?"
Jiang Xuening paused, her pupils shrank slightly.
Fang Miao played with an old copper coin in her fingers, smiled, and said proudly, "Isn't things in the palace like this? You offended the Empress Dowager so badly when you inspected Yangzhizhai, and now it's the harem again." A group of women, if I were you, I would hide far away."
It turned out that she didn't know.
Jiang Xuening relaxed, pushed aside a plum branch hanging down in front, and said with a smile: "You also know that my situation is not good recently, so be careful."
Of course, Fang Miao had put some thought into choosing to be a companion in the palace, but that was because she competed with her sisters in the family, competing for prestige. When she gets married in the future, it can be said that she has been in the palace and served as the eldest princess, Your Highness Accompanying reading, natural scenery.
But she never thought of staying in the palace.
In the current occasion where there are concubines in the harem, she is also like Jiang Xuening, unwilling to stand out, wishing to hide from those who are right and wrong, so she is happy to walk around with Jiang Xuening, and not to join in the fun with those ladies.
Seeing that more than half an hour passed, there were laughter and laughter in the plum garden, but nothing happened.
Jiang Xuening couldn't help thinking, maybe she was thinking too much.
How can such a thing be done in broad daylight? Isn't that too obvious?
However, as soon as this idea came out, a series of exclamations suddenly came from the far southwest corner of the plum garden, and then someone called out—
"Mouse, mouse!!"
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
"What's wrong with Miss Yao, she's so careless..."
…
The screams of the palace people were obvious, and the people admiring the plum blossoms and seeing the snow from far and near heard it. They were all in shock for a while, and looked at the situation where the sound came from.
Jiang Xuening couldn't help but glanced at Fang Miao.
The two also followed the crowd far away and walked towards that side. When they got closer, they saw that it was Concubine Qin, Wen Jieyu and Yao Xi. Qing, that thin little Wen Jieyu even fell to the snow, the palace people rushed to help her up, Qin Guifei even frowned, and slightly complained about Yao Xilai.
Yao Xi opened her mouth, seemed a little surprised, and wanted to explain something, but seeing that Concubine Qin didn't say anything, she had to stand aside, a little panicked.
Seeing the palace servants go to help Wen Jieyu, she also stays.
Wen Jieyu's status in this harem is not very high, and seeing that Concubine Qin treats Yao Xi well, she smiled and said: "Miss Yao, don't blame her, when everyone is frightened, I can't break my bones, it's not a big deal." hinder."
After she said that, Yao Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
However, just as Wen Jieyu got up, her face turned pale, and she seemed to feel some discomfort in her stomach, so she reached out and covered her stomach with her hands.
The palace servant was startled: "What happened to Jieyu?"
Wen Jieyu's expression was still a little dazed: "There seems to be some discomfort in the abdomen..."
She didn't realize it herself, but the expressions of the concubines around her changed quietly.
However, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and none of them spoke at this moment.
Wen Jieyu supported the maidservant's hand slightly, and felt that the discomfort just now was not so strong, and seemed to be much better, so she laughed again and said, "It's nothing serious, let's continue watching the plum blossoms."
Jiang Xuehui was walking with Zhou Baoying and the others. Seeing this scene, her eyes flickered and she couldn't help saying, "Ms. Jieyu slipped and her clothes were wet and covered with slush. It's cold and windy Even the iron-clad people can't hold it back, you'd better go back to the palace and put on warm clothes first, then ask the imperial doctor to come and drink some hot soup to get rid of the cold, and then let's talk about enjoying the snow."
She looked at Wen Jieyu with serious eyes.
At this moment, Wen Jieyu seemed to have finally realized something, her body shook slightly, but she shrank even more, she couldn't help but look at Concubine Qin and said: "This lady is right, I have forgotten it, so that's it." It’s rude to go back to the palace and change clothes.”
Everyone hurriedly expressed their concern for her and told her to go back quickly.
Jiang Xuening looked at Wen Jieyu's back, feeling chills in her heart.
Sure enough, not two minutes after Wen Jieyu left, a little **** rushed to the plum garden, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and said, "It's not good! I'm reporting to the empress dowager, empress, see you Wen Jieyu!" It's red, the imperial physician diagnosed and treated her as pregnant!"
There was a gasp in the whole Xuexuan.
Yao Xi's face turned pale, and she accidentally knocked over a cup on the table.
But no one noticed her gaffe anymore.
What I heard in the previous life and what I experienced in this life really matched again.
However, from hearing to experiencing, the feeling is completely different.
In the previous life, after Jiang Xuening fell ill, she only heard by accident that there was a miscarriage of a low-ranking concubine in the harem. Shen Lang was furious when he found out. Much criticism.
But she didn't know who this concubine was.
Now in this life, I almost saw it with my own eyes, and thinking of Concubine Qin Guiyu taking Wen Jieyu to call Yao Xi, I feel the chills hit my body.
After something like this happened, it was no longer a thing to recite plum blossoms and appreciate snow.
After everyone returned to Yangzhizhai, they didn't speak.
Yao Xi, who had been sneering at Jiang Xuening for the past few days, sat down as if she had been taken out of her mind, and didn't speak for a long time. When Chen Shuyi came up to comfort her, she actually covered her face with her hands, feeling frightened He burst into tears, Lian Sheng said: "I don't know, I didn't hit it, someone hit me from behind... none of my business..."
Who doesn't know that there are few descendants of the current Holy Master Shen Lang?
Standing at the end of the year, he has no children under his knees.
There is not even a prince to be found in this harem, and the concubines are trying their best to give birth to the emperor's eldest son. Maybe the emperor will be crowned prince when he is in a good mood. rain.
However, the stomach just didn't move.
Up to now, there has indeed been news in the court that King Linzi will be appointed as the emperor's younger brother, but after all, the horoscope has not been written yet, if a prince is really born, things will definitely change.
Unexpectedly, it happened to meet Wen Jieyu!
If you let the Holy One know...
Yao Xi couldn't help shaking when she thought about it, and she cried even louder.
Sitting aside, Xiao Shu frowned and said, "Why are you so careless?"
Someone comforted: "Just wait for the news and see if Empress Jieyu is okay."
Jiang Xue quietly looked at her without saying a word. In her previous life, she knew the answer: it was Shen Jie's turn to ascend the throne, and she had indeed heard the rumors in the harem that Wen Jieyu probably didn't keep the child in her womb.
Jiang Xuehui, however, seemed a little sympathetic, and sighed softly.
No one spoke after that.
During the Yangzhi fast, only Yao Xi's mournful and terrified cry was heard, disturbing people's mind.
When it was getting dark, a palace official who had gone to inquire about the news finally came back.
Xiao Shu immediately stood up and asked, "How is it?"
Jiang Xuening also looked over.
The palace man was panting, but his eyes were full of excitement and excitement: "It was saved! Empress Jieyu's fetus was saved. The adults in the Tai Hospital said that it was discovered early and the cold was not too deep. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Just be extra careful in the future!"
What? !
saved...
There was a sudden "buzz" in Jiang Xuening's head, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, she couldn't help but suddenly looked back at Jiang Xuehui—
It's not that she doesn't sympathize with Wen Jieyu.
It's just that the shock at this moment far exceeded her expectations, and she didn't even expect that Wen Jieyu's pregnancy would be saved!
Only then did she realize that there is such a huge difference between this life and the previous one. After she entered the palace as a companion in her last life, she didn't even know that she had Xiao Shu as a potential opponent, she didn't fit in well in the palace, and she didn't become friends with Shen Zhiyi, so there was no such thing as attracting Jiang Xuehui into the palace! So in the last life when I was admiring the plum blossoms, Jiang Xuehui was not there; but in this life, not only was she there, but she also asked Wen Jieyu to go back to the imperial physician sooner...
Different, totally different!
If Wen Jieyu's pregnancy is saved, if the child is born smoothly, and if the baby is born as a boy, then everything that happens from now on will be completely turned upside down compared to the previous life!
