Chapter 103 Water Winter Help
As the three talked and laughed, they heard the sound of small footsteps at the door, and then listened to the report of the internal prison at the door: "Guan Guiren, Yang Xuanshi and Lan agreed!"
I have long known that the people of Yuemei Palace must be the first to come to the North Hall to visit Xu Cairen, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
I saw Guan Guiren walking in front of him, and the maid of honor behind her was holding a lot of things in her hand. It seemed that there were some jewelry and supplements. Lan promised to follow him, and the maid of honor around her also carried two bags of things. She couldn't see what it was, but Yang Xuanshi entered the door empty-handed.
Guan Guiren came in with a smiling face and said, "Congratulations, sister, she is actually pregnant. It's really a good thing for our Yuemei Palace."
After saying that, he saw Yao Yulu and Ji Shuidong and said, "The two sisters came really early."
"It's not a big deal for the noble to laugh, and it's troublesome for the noble to come." Xu Cairen politely said that her relationship with Guan Guiren has always been polite, not decent but not too close.
"What did my sister say? I came to see you, but it was late. I took some ginseng ganoderma lucidum, which are all good varieties and a pair of jade grape gold earrings. I wish my sister many children and blessings." Guan Guiren smiled and showed the pair of gold earrings in his hand to Xu Cairen. It seems that it is indeed a good thing. The gold color is pure and the jade color is clear, which also has a good meaning.
Xu Cairen looked at it and smiled and said, "Thank you, Guan Guiren. It's really a little unsteady to accept such a concubine."
Xu Cairen's tone was joking, and Guan Guiren didn't pay attention to it at all. He just smiled and took the gift to the maid of honor in the North Hall.
Guan Guiren has long cared about who is spoiled in this palace. He just hopes that a capable man can come out of this Yuemei Palace, so that the emperor can also pay attention to her, a nobleman who has not been favored for a long time.
Blue agreed and congratulated with a smile on his face: "My sister is really blessed. The servant pet has a prince in a few days. What a blessing for noble people."
Lan promised to come to this Yuemei Palace. He has always been a low-key person and is very pleasant to speak. Xu Cairen also has a good impression on her, but Yao Yulu intends to alienate Lan and agrees, so the relationship between the two is a little strange.
Xu Cairen laughed and said, "Look at what Sister Lan said."
Yang Xuanshi has been very angry these days, and he has just complained in the hall. She has always had a bad relationship with Xu Cairen. Originally, she could still say a few words when Xu Cairen was a picker, but now it is for the sake of talent, which is much higher than her. She also has to humbly salute Xu Cairen. How can she be happy? Today, she also came here by a nobleman. At this moment, she is looking forward to Xu Cairen's death. What else do you want to congratulate?
But this Yang Xuanshi is also a straightforward person. Her joys and sorrows are all written on her face. As soon as she entered the hall, she looked unhappy. At this moment, she said with jealousy and hatred in her eyes, "Congratulations to Xu Cairen. Humph, the treatment of emperors is really different."
Xu Cairen glanced at her and said, "It's true that Yang Xuanshi can't envy her."
This sentence also made Guan Guiren look pale. She is only a noble person at this age. It seems that it is difficult to have an imperial heir, which is slightly worse than Yang Xuanshi.
"It's not too late to be proud." Yang Xuanshi said with a sneer.
"What did Yang Xuanshi say? Aren't you looking forward to the birth of the emperor's heir?" Ji Shuidong said with a smile, but his words were provocative.
"Well, I dare not mean that." Yang Xuanshi said.
Although the people in the hall say congratulations, some of them are not jealous or hateful, and it is really difficult to see whether it is true or false.
The crowd exchanged a few words before returning to the hall. Yao Yulu walked through the garden and looked up to see that the sunset had filled the whole Yuemei Palace. The garden was mottled with warm oranges under the shadow of the trees. I don't know whose story was telling.
These days, the Yuemei Palace is bustling with people. From time to time, concubines come to the North Hall to visit Xu Cairen. Seeing that she has been pregnant for two months, it also makes the originally deserted Yuemei Palace much more lively.
Yao Yulu also went to see Xu Cairen from time to time, but she couldn't return empty-handed every time. Xu Cairen often asked the maids to take out the things given by the concubines in the warehouse and let Yao Yulu take them back. Although Yao Yulu did not want to accept it again and again, she could not resist the persistence of Xu Cairen, a little pregnant woman, plus the embroidery she did on weekdays. He Luozi, life is also much better.
A few days ago, Liu Feifei finally accepted the favor. I heard that there was a lot of complaints with the Empress Dowager in front of her. The Empress Dowager also regretted listening to it. She urged the emperor again and again, and finally had the opportunity to accept the favor. The previous negative spirit was dissipated. Liu Feifei was Liu Feifei at the beginning, still so arrogant. Some rudeness, but that's it. The Empress Dowager made her obedient, and the people in the harem also avoided giving her three points.
On the contrary, Xiao Shufei's place was much quieter. She was quietly closed in her own hall for a few days. Recently, when the queen called the concubines to go, she was also unable to go there. I don't know if she was really sick or fake illness. I only heard that there was no imperial doctor, but she stayed quietly closed the door, which was a little strange.
This morning, Ji Shuidong was bored and sat and talked with Yao Yulu in the West Hall, but his expression was much darker, and he could see that he had a lot of things on his mind.
"Sister, you have been depressed all morning, but what happened?" Yao Yulu asked with concern. Although Ji Shuidong was doing embroidery with her for a while, she frowned and sighed for a while, and her mind was not at all about the work in her hand.
"It's nothing. I'm afraid it's too hot. People are annoyed." Ji Shuidong said indifferently, with a little lonely expression.
"It's not like your usual nature. If you have anything, you might as well listen to it and see if your sister can help you." Yao Yulu asked.
"Why can the woman in this harem be annoyed?" Ji Shuidong lamented.
When she said this, Yao Yulu understood a little about the troubles of the women in the harem. I'm afraid she had to circle around the emperor and said, "Is it for the emperor?"
Ji Shuidong smiled and said, "I'm not qualified to worry about the emperor. I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know who I am."
"What's your sister talking about..." Although Yao Yulu said so, she didn't know how to persuade her.
"I know very well that many new people in the palace are more or less favored these days. Only I still nestled in the Yaoqin Palace in obscurity, and I'm afraid that this will only be the rest of my life." Ji Shuidong said that he was more and more sad, he put down the embroidery in his hand and sighed.
"My sister is still young, why worry?" Yao Yulu comforted.
Ji Shuidong endured for a long time and finally said something that he had thought about for a long time: "Sister, please help me. I can't wait any longer."
Yao Yulu was stunned. She didn't expect Ji Shuidong to ask for her help. She pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it. There is really no time now."
"That day, Sister Ning also got the help of her sister to have today. Shuidong does not ask for good luck like Sister Ning. She just hopes that the emperor can notice me." Ji Shuidong muttered that she had kept this in her heart for too long, and now she poured out uncontrollably.
"This... Let me think about it." Yao Yulu is a little shirked, but it's not that she doesn't want to help Ji Shuidong, but there is nothing outstanding about Ji Shuidong. It's not easy to attract the emperor's attention.
Ji Shuidong's expression suddenly faded, and there was even a trace of complaint in his heart. He stared straight at the embroidery on the table without saying a word.
Remembered that day, Yao Yulu tried her best to give advice to Xu Cairen, but she came up with such a good plan that allowed Xu Cairen to get the emperor's mercy and have today's status. Seeing that her words have come to this point, my sister is unwilling to give her an idea. No matter how she thinks about it, she is a little unhappy.
But Yao Yulu thinks differently from her. Compared with Xu Cairen, Ji Shuidong's appearance is really mediocre, and his personality is also plain. He is just a small jasper, which is rarely noticed by the emperor. If he accidentally makes it self-defeating, he will only cause great trouble.
Lv Pangxiao has been listening. Although she hasn't said a word, she has thought about it a lot. In her opinion, if Ji Shuidong wants to accept the favor, she can only find another way, which does not seem difficult.
It's better to offer a small plan to prevent the little master and Ji Chang from falling grudges on this, but...
Lv Panxiao saw that both of them stopped talking, so he whispered, "I have a plan."
