Chapter 208: Why is it necessary to be charming (4)
I pulled her up, stood face to face with her, looked at her dodging eyes and said: "Don't Zhaorong recognize who this palace is?" I said, covering my cheek with Sipa in my hand, and looked at her with a smile.
Yi Zhaorong only glanced at him and then backed back again and again, covering his mouth in surprise, and lost his voice: "You?? You?? You are? Xie Niang?"
I put Sipa down, speaking softly and smiling gently: "Yes, I am Xie Niang."
She couldn't believe it and didn't dare to look at me. After a long while, he said, "But, you said you were the embroidered woman who was demoted, and your face was ruined. Su Xin?? Su Xin has also seen it."
I laughed and said, "If I didn't say that and showed her the scar, would you help me?"
Yi Zhaorong pursed his lips and shook his hands unconsciously. She knows that if I look good, how can she help me? After all, a woman with a ruined appearance, no matter who she is or where she is, is not a threat to her.
"But," she twisted her veil and said, "everybody in the world knows that the empress is recuperating at Yaotai, Pengdao, why are you dying?"
I didn't speak, I just sipped the tea in my hand, the breeze was blowing, and the golden bells on the eaves corners made a crisp sound of "jingle". The sun began to sink, putting away the violent sunlight.
Yi Zhaorong said to himself: "Yes, how can the emperor tell the world that the queen is dying?"
I smiled without saying a word, only pushed the dessert in front of her, "Taste it." I also squeezed a piece of red bean coconut milk cake and took a bite: "If you weren't there back then, maybe my palace would have died. In the past, thanks to your asylum in the Garment Bureau, it was safe and sound. Now, it is time for this palace to repay you."
"Please don't talk like this, Niang Niang!" Yi Zhaorong said hurriedly: "It was just a matter of helping Xie Niang that day, and she couldn't bear to embroider her and bury her in vain." She hesitated and smiled shyly: "Actually, the concubine is selfish, thinking if it is. Xie Niang’s embroidery work alone can at least stand out in the palace.
She paused and said:
While Xie Niang was seriously ill in the coat, how could the concubines not be saved? I will be rewarded in the future."
I nodded, "My palace knows. A court lady in the dressing bureau can't help you. You naturally have nothing to do." I smiled: "So for your kindness, this kindness is even more I want to report." I stood up, with a lonely tone, and said quietly: "Although the identity of this palace is clear, but because of its identity, it is difficult to have a close sister in this huge harem."
Yi Zhaorong hurriedly said: "If the empress does not give up, the concubine is willing to be the arm of the empress."
I helped her up with my own hands: "I don’t need arms in this palace, just want a sister who treats each other sincerely. You are kind to me, gentle and kind, you are the person that this palace wants to make friends with.
The eyes of a wife are concubines. The blessings of you." Yi Zhaorong smiled.
I sat back on the chair, watched the sunset cover the small pond with golden light, and drank another sip of tea: "So, Linglong will let you take this palace with me, so I can rest assured. I hope you can be a good mother."
Yi Zhaorong knelt down and bowed: "The concubine will live up to the trust of the empress."
I slowly swallowed the tea, and then helped her up: "Children are inevitably naughty, so it will be very hard at first."
Yi Zhaorong nodded and smiled: "It is the glory of the concubine to raise the princess, so how hard it is to say." She rationally circulated: "The princess was born in the same year by the empress personally. There are also rumors in the harem that the empress treats the princess more than the princess. Okay. The concubine thought, if the mother allows her, can the concubine bring her to Kunning Palace more often?"
I nodded and said, "This is naturally excellent."
Huiju on one side reminded softly: "Niangniang, the imperial doctor has ordered it. Niangniang will be out for one hour at most."
Yi Zhao Rong Shili: "Please give your mother a good rest, and Rong Chen will retire first."
"Go." I said again: "What's going on today, don't confide a word before the emperor's decree, so as not to change."
Yi Zhaorong nodded and resigned before leaving.
Huiju helped me walk to the sleeping hall and whispered, "Yi Zhaorong is very smart."
"What do you say?" I asked.
"Don't say anything else, she could offer to bring the princess over because she thought of the empress." Hui Ju said.
I smiled faintly: "She has been in the palace for so long, and she has been spoiled for a long time, but she has never been involved in a fight. How can she not be smart?"
Hui Ju said, "In the harem concubine, Yi Zhaorong is the most favorite." A smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Concubine Liu is high, Concubine Li is domineering, and Concubine is indifferent. It's hard to get close, only Yi Zhao is the only one who has no air to treat anyone, kind and generous, and the palace people are willing to do things for her."
Seeing that I didn't speak, she thought I was upset, and she was busy and said, "Actually, when it comes to kindness and kindness, my mother is better than anyone else, just??"
"It's just that I am a queen, and this identity alone makes it difficult to get close." I smiled: "The queen is different from the concubine, no matter how kind the queen is, she is afraid to get close because of her identity. And the concubine must have her apart from others. Only the different side can keep your heart."
Huiju nodded as if he knew what he didn't understand, and in a blink of an eye when he reached the sleeping hall, he was speechless.
Three days later, Shen Xiyao decreed that before the queen gave birth, Concubine Liu would temporarily take charge of the affairs of the harem, and the concubine would assist in the management of the queen. Every day, the important queen would be selected and the princess would be sent to Yizhao for childbirth. The concubine and concubine gradually became cumbersome and could not care about everything in the harem. Concubine Liu was not sad because of the separation of her mother and daughter, she was completely immersed in the joy of holding power. After this decree was promulgated, the most enviable thing was not Concubine Liu, who was in charge of the Sixth Palace, but Yi Zhaorong.
Yi Zhaorong suddenly received the custody of the princess, and the palace was shaken. She is young and not the most suitable candidate. Before the emperor made the decree, there was no sound, even Concubine Liu was shocked after taking the decree. Shen Xiyao gave Linglong to Yi Zhaorong without discussing it with her.
So the threshold of the Changchun Palace was almost cut off by Hexi's concubines, and Linglong just left, Yizhao must pay attention to everything, and many have to start over. But the courtesy was not to be expensed, and she was happy to be quiet, and she was very distressed to greet her for a while. I ordered the harem concubine not to go to the Changchun Palace temporarily, which relieved her urgent need.
The rest of the day was quiet, and I was recuperating my body in Kunning Palace every day, and I didn't bother at all. The eldest brother selected the children of the loyal servants of the Ling family from the Lingfu nursing home and the maids of the inner courtyard, and sent them in to assist the guards of the Kunning Palace and my diet. Shen Xiyao made it possible for me to have a safe childbirth, almost omnipotent, so it became easy for these people to enter the palace.
So, I just relax and wait for Lin'er to be born.
