Chapter 1247 The internal and external system of Gengzijuan
Yuanchun unbuttoned the upper part of her clothes with some irritation, revealing a touch of white neck and chest. The earth dragon in the palace was a little too hot. She had a slightly plump body and was a little intolerant of heat. She felt irritable and felt My body was greasy with sweat.
"Hold Qin and ask someone to boil water. I want to take a bath."
When the hot water started to heat up, Yuan Chun took off her outer skirt under Bao Qin's service, and stood in front of the bathtub wearing only a small piece of clothing. Bao Qin stepped forward and took off her small clothing for Yuan Chun, revealing a bumpy and moist body. The dripping body appeared in the surrounding red candlelight, shining brightly and cleanly.
Stepping into the bucket from the wooden ladder, Yuanchun could not help but sigh in comfort due to the moderately warm hot water. The sound that came out from the depths of his throat had some inexplicable magic power, which scared Yuanchun himself. Jump.
Slowly sitting down, petals floating on the water, and a faint mist lingering around the body, Yuanchun couldn't help but feel a little self-pity, and rubbed his delicate hands on the smooth body on his chest and abdomen, until finally Hugging his shoulders and sighing, Motoharu untied his bun and let his long hair spread. He slowly leaned against the wall of the tub, letting the warm water slowly flow over his chest and neck to his chin.
Is this kind of life what you want?
Throughout the year, there are endless rumors, rumors and insinuations. Even if you don't want to get involved, no one will let you go. Yuanchun feels that he is really too tired and overworked. , I wish I could let this moment last forever and never wake up.
The most critical thing is that Yuanchun cannot see her own future. She doesn’t know what her future will be, what is the goal of her struggle, and where is her destination.
The emperor's body was like that. Apart from dealing with court affairs, almost all his time was spent on cultivating his moral character. His attitude towards the concubines in the palace was very clear. For him, he had enough heirs, and the adults include King Shou, Prince Fu, Prince Li, and Prince Lu, plus Prince Gong, who will come of age in two years, the five sons are now secretly fighting for the throne. This is already a secret in the palace.
The three imperial concubines Xu, Su and Mei are fighting openly and covertly, while Concubine Guo is secretly accumulating strength, but does all this have anything to do with her?
It’s ridiculous that Zhou, Zheng, and Wu were still using various means and tricks to attack each other before, but is it meaningful?
Up to now, everyone still can’t see the emperor’s purpose of accepting these four concubines, including himself, then they are really stupid.
Yuanchun didn't know if the emperor's visit to the three palaces was the same as his visit. He just spoke a few words, drank a cup of tea and left in a hurry. He didn't even bother to stop for a meal, but it was probably about the same. And in this year, I didn't even bother to come to Fengzao Palace. I went to the emperor several times to see him, but he just sat there and chatted a few words. In the end, he even ended up with those few people. We met collectively.
When will this kind of life end? Perhaps the emperor has passed away? But what about after this end?
Yuan Chun couldn't imagine what was behind this end.
Gently stir up the water and slowly flow down from the shoulders and neck. The petals fall on the shoulders, forming a strong contrast with the jade snow's pink skin. The red ones are redder and the white ones are whiter.
Perhaps he spent his whole life alone in a remote and cold palace, sitting on the palace gate with the gray-haired palace ladies every day, watching the sunset, and pricking up his ears to listen to all kinds of anecdotes from outside. , is to survive the day, go back to your house at night, stay in the cold bed with a lonely lamp, and survive another night, day after day, year after year, is this what your life will be like for the rest of your life?
Yuanchun shuddered when she thought of this, she was unwilling to give in.
What can I do if I don’t give in?
Escape from the palace?
This is unthinkable.
Or maybe imitating Wu Fu, seducing a certain prince, and finally ascending to the throne, like King Shou, taking a risk?
Not to mention that he doesn't like that ambitious and talented guy at all, and he doesn't think he is a human being. That guy may not have such courage now. Even if the other party has such **** and courage, Yuanchun is not optimistic about this guy's ability at all. He won among several princes, even if he had the support of Imperial Concubine Xu.
Concubine Su and Concubine Mei have gradually gained momentum, especially Concubine Mei, who is very active in the palace, and King Nalu is said to be quite famous outside the palace, far better than King Nashou.
Unless Emperor Yonglong directly appoints or even supports a certain prince to ascend to the throne before his death, it is really hard to say how the ministers will line up at the last moment.
His thoughts were chaotic, and the further he thought, the further he thought, and then he suddenly took it back. Only then did Yuanchun realize what all this had to do with him.
Now it is impossible to seduce a certain prince. These princes are now cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of being caught. Even when they enter the palace, they go straight to the emperor accompanied by their mothers and concubines. Say hello, report, then listen to the edict, and then go straight out of the palace, how can you think about anything else.
I heard that when Feng Ziying married Baochai and Baoqin, even Prince Zhongshun, Prince Lu and Prince Gong came to the house to congratulate her. No wonder Qiu Shian had this idea and wanted to contact Ziying.
Bao Qin has been standing outside the barrel. The empress has not been in a bad mood for the past two days. Ever since she entered the palace and was made a noble concubine, the empress has not been in a good mood. If there has been a time when she was happy, it was probably when she returned to the palace. It's time for a wedding, but it's too short-lived.
Every time I leave the palace and return to Jia's house, I can make the empress feel better for a while, but she will soon return to her usual lifeless self. Even Bao Qin feels that if she goes on living like this for a long time, she will really go crazy. .
But what if it’s not like this?
The Rongguo Mansion has tried its best to support the palace, but now the situation of the Jia family is not good. Every time Baoqin goes back, he will bring some gold and silver back to the palace. Although the master and his wife have never said anything, Baoqin still Knowing that the family is in a very difficult situation, the eldest master and the eldest wife are already complaining about the continued support given to the empress in the palace. They believe that it is difficult for the Jia family to maintain itself and there is no way to support it.
Yuanchun stood up, but did not feel Baoqin wipe his body. He was surprised and said: "Baoqin?"
"Ah, Madam, have you washed it?" Baoqin finally came back to his senses, quickly wrapped Yuanchun in a cloth, and then began to wipe it carefully.
"Tomorrow my ancestor and the two ladies are coming to the palace, but there are some things that are not convenient to say, so I want you to go back on the third day of the third year of junior high school." Yuanchun took a deep breath, and after wiping it clean, her body felt a little chilly. He raised his feet and stretched out his hands to let Baoqin put on his clothes.
"Huh? I'll go back again, on the third day of the lunar month, you mean..."
"Yes, every year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ziying comes to Jia's house. This year she married Baochai and Baoqin, and she will definitely come back. Baochai and Baoqin will probably come back too, so you should find a chance to meet Ziying. Tell Ziying about Qiu Shian's request and see what he thinks..."
Hand in hand, Bao Qin was a little surprised, "Madam, will Uncle Feng agree? I'm afraid..."
"Let's convey the words whether we agree or not. Ziying has her own idea. He is not as good as before, and his father is now in Liaodong. Their identities are different now, so they may have some ideas. Although Qiu Shi'an Not as good as Xia Bingzhong, but he can be regarded as one of the most capable people around the emperor. Chengen is quite trusted by him. In addition, he may also feel that he has convinced me. He dares to say some things that he did not dare to say in the past, so he made this request. Hand it over, maybe you have some ideas."
At this time, Yuanchun had put aside some unrealistic emotions and regained his former clarity and wisdom. His eyes were clear, and he seemed to want to understand everything behind this sudden situation.
Bao Qin was still a little confused and frowned, "Madam, what do you mean, what are the intentions of Qiu Daban and Uncle Feng? I don't understand,..."
Yuanchun and Baoqin have been in the palace for many years. In fact, they have become like sisters. Yuanchun even trusts Baoqin far more than sisters like Tanchun and Yingchun. In a place like the palace, if there is no reliable and considerate person, Yuanchun felt that he really couldn't endure it, so Yuanchun never shied away from holding Qin in almost anything.
"Baoqin, you have been in the palace for so many years. Prime Minister Dai went to the Daming Palace. In this palace, Manager Xia and Qiu Shi'an are actually competing for influence. The emperor is not thinking about the palace now, and Xu Junru is getting more and more out of control. The situation of living in the inner palace, coupled with the poor performance of King Shou, forced him to rely more and more on Xia Bingzhong. Su Lingyao, relying on his two sons, King Fu and King Li, increasingly competed with Xu Junru for favor. Qiu Shian stood beside her. Bian'er, but Mei Yuexi is also very favored now. I heard that the emperor now thinks that Prince Lu is the most like him, so Xia Bingzhong hooked up with Mei Yuexi again, and the momentum that was originally a little sluggish has increased again..."
Only then did Baoqin realize that this was actually the alliance of all the forces in the palace. Qiu Shian originally thought that Concubine Su and Prince Fu were favored by the Emperor, so he was a little arrogant, but now Concubine Mei and Prince Lu seem to be more favored by the Emperor. Pampering was suddenly suppressed again, and then he started looking for a way out again.
“But why didn’t Qiu Daban find Concubine Guo?” Baoqin asked with some confusion.
"Guo Qinyun may not be willing, not to mention that Zhou Peisheng is also very favored in front of the emperor. I think Guo Qinyun seems to be getting very close to Zhou Peisheng during this period." Yuanchun's eyebrows showed a hint of coldness.
None of the four concubines with princes in the palace are economical. It is precisely the young concubines like himself and Zhou, Wu, and Zheng who have no heirs, but they are insignificant. Qiu Shian naturally does not fancy himself or even Jia behind him. family, but fell in love with the Feng family, which is inextricably linked to the Jia family.
Similarly, for Feng Ziying now, a head **** like Qiu Shian, second only to Xia Bingzhong in the palace, may not be without value and significance.
