The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Zhuang Wanqing's demotion was not a big deal in the eyes of the concubines. She was not favored, was born as a concubine, and had old grievances with her favorite concubine. Not to mention being deposed, even if she lost her life, it would not be surprising.

Taking off the pomegranate flowers in her hair, and taking off the golden step shaker and ear tassels casually, Zhuang Luoyan let her black hair hang down, looking at the somewhat blurred face in the bronze mirror, she got up and was served by Tingzhu and Yunxi I changed into a loose skirt that was almost new.

In this harem, if you don't want others to take advantage of your weaknesses to criticize yourself, you should expose your weaknesses to the emperor earlier. She had long been wary that someone would use the so-called sisterhood to plot against her, so she had concealed the bad things about the sisterhood in front of the emperor, and cut off this way.

Isn't it normal that the daughter of the first son has a bad relationship with the concubine? What's more, the emperor is a descendant of the concubine, and he suffered a lot from the prince when he was young, so maybe he feels the same about her bad relationship with the concubine.

"Niang Niang, do you want to rest now?" Ting Zhu glanced at the sky, it was still early, not the time to sleep, but seeing the master like this, she couldn't say anything else.

"I'm so tired, I don't need to bring the dinner," Zhuang Luoyan yawned with her mouth covered as she walked towards the bed, "When someone comes, they say I'm resting and don't see any guests."

"Yes," Ting Zhu stepped forward to make the bed for Zhuang Luoyan, closed the gauze curtain, stepped back and stood still.

Yun Xi looked at him and stood still on the other side.

When Feng Jin walked to the Xihe Palace, he found that the Xihe Palace was very quiet. The eunuch guarding the gate saw him and was about to pass the report, but was stopped by Feng Jin, "Your mother is resting? There is no need to pass the report, I will go and see Just watch her and go."

The eunuch guarding the gate didn't dare to say any more, and stepped back after saluting. Seeing the emperor walking in, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, hoping that the master didn't say or do what he shouldn't have said at this time.

The more you walked in, the quieter it became. Feng Jin walked outside the main hall, and seeing the maids and eunuchs guarding the door, he made sure that Zhuang Luoyan had already rested. Thinking about what happened today, Feng Jin frowned.

He understands Zhuang Luoyan's intentions, and also understands why the Zhuang sisters have conflicts. Although he can't remember what Zhuang Luoyan looked like when he entered the palace, but now that he has his heart on her, he can't tolerate Zhuang Wanqing, a concubine. Bullied her head.

He has also seen a lot of insidious means in the harem. Zhuang Wanqing fell down inexplicably, didn't she just want to use a trick to frame her? The queen is still a brain, and she didn't take the opportunity to make any inappropriate decisions.

Avoiding the greetings from the palace guards outside the door, Feng Jin directly entered the hall softly, passed through the Duobao Pavilion to the inner room, waved to the two maids who greeted him silently, and walked lightly to the side of the bed , opened the gauze curtain, and saw Yingri's fair face under the lotus brocade quilt.

Ting Zhu and Yun Xi exchanged glances, Yun Xi quickly took the carved wooden pier and placed it beside the bed, then stepped back, and Feng Jin put aside the teacup presented by Ting Zhu.

However, in the past two months, the person on the bed had lost a lot of weight. Even though he smiled so naturally in front of him, he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes. As an emperor, he doesn't have to care too much about the concubine's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. To the royal family, concubines are just the emperor's gadgets and reproductive tools, so he feels sorry for this woman's forced smile, but he doesn't know what he can do to compensate her.

Perhaps as a man, facing a woman who treats him wholeheartedly, he always feels a little bit guilty, so he cares a little bit more about Zhuang Luoyan.

People are completely defenseless when they are asleep, Zhuang Luorou frowned slightly, which shows that she is not as relaxed as usual at this time.

Sighing softly, Feng Jin stretched out his hand and lightly tapped between the eyebrows. The soft touch made his fingertips tremble slightly, and he slowly withdrew his hand. Looking at this face, his heart softened. He was still an eighteen-year-old boy. What about girls.

After sitting quietly for a while, Feng Jin walked out again silently, out of the main hall, Feng Jin glanced at the door behind him, "Show Anqing Palace."

Gao Dezhong, who was following Yujia, immediately understood that the emperor was going to stay at Concubine Shu's place today.

After Feng Jin left, Zhuang Luoyan who was lying on the bed slowly opened her eyes. Before she lay down, she was guessing whether the emperor would come or not. It seemed that she won the bet.

Sometimes being weak does not necessarily arouse pity, but being weak but pretending to be strong makes people feel even more rare and distressed.

Seeing Zhuang Luoyan wake up, Yun Xi stepped forward and said, "Master, are you awake?"

Zhuang Luoyan sat up, rubbed her forehead and said, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Master, you haven't slept for a long time. The emperor came here just now. I just saw you sleeping, so I couldn't bear to call you." Yun Xi put a cushion behind Zhuang Luoyan, "My servant asked the small kitchen to cook a pot of black chicken for you." Bird's nest porridge, do you want some?"

"Has the emperor been here?" Zhuang Luoyan's eyes brightened slightly, and then her tone became calm again, "Didn't the emperor turn over the signboard of Anqing Palace today?"

Yun Xi opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. Today is the Flower Festival, the emperor didn't care about the queen's face, but went to Concubine Shu, which shows how favored Concubine Shu is, why does the master compare with Concubine Shu, and why bother to give his heart?

Zhuang Luoyan sighed, "You all step back, I'm not hungry and don't want to use it."

Seeing her like this, Yun Xi wanted to persuade her again, but Ting Zhu made a face at her, and the two retreated in silence.

"Tingzhu, why don't you let me persuade the master?" Yun Xi looked at the inner room with some worry, "Master is in a bad mood right now."

"It will be useful if you persuade it?" Ting Zhu sighed, "There are some things that we as slaves can't persuade, we just have to wait for the empress to figure it out, how can there be... where can there be affection in this harem."

In Anqing Palace, Feng Jin and Concubine Shu were lying on the bed, Concubine Shu stared at the man lying next to her with a smile on her face.

"What is Rui Zi looking at me for?" Feng Jin slept sideways, staring at each other with Concubine Shu.

"The emperor is so pretty," Concubine Shu said with a sweet smile, "I can't get enough of this concubine."

"I think my concubine's beauty is delicious," Feng Jin withdrew his gaze and lay flat on the bed, "I didn't give you a hairpin today, do you blame me?"

"Sister Zhao has just entered the palace and is younger than my concubine. The emperor should take good care of her. As long as the emperor has a concubine in his heart, the concubine will be satisfied." Concubine Shu carefully leaned closer to the emperor. It is not very good to ruin the rank outfit worn during Jinfeng."

"What's wrong, didn't I ask the Shangyi Bureau to give her a few sets of clothes?" Feng Jin stretched out his hand and squeezed the back of her hand, "It's getting late, why bother talking about other concubines, let's rest earlier."

"Yes," Concubine Shu Gui smiled even sweeter. Hearing what the emperor said, Zhuang Luoyan was just a little bit more advanced than Concubine Yan Gui.

But now the emperor is still interested in her, so he should just watch it. As for others wanting to do something to Zhuang Luoyan, it's none of her business.

In the Sobenzhai, Zhuang Wanqing was wearing a half-worn skirt, standing under a banyan tree in a daze, looking towards the direction of Qianzheng Palace, the Sobenzhai behind him was dilapidated and gloomy.

This place is a veritable cold palace, no one comes, no one thinks about it, it is far away from Qianzheng Palace, as far away as if this is not the emperor's harem.

"Master, let's eat," Xie Yu stepped forward cautiously.

"Food?" Zhuang Wanqing laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid even the cats and dogs raised by other concubines in the palace don't like to eat those things."

Xie Yu glanced at her worriedly, "Master, you won't have to worry about no firewood if you keep the green hills, don't make things difficult for you."

"Who cares about my health?" Zhuang Wanqing's complexion suddenly became distorted, "If it wasn't for that bitch Zhuang Luoyan, why would I have fallen to this point? How much did Jieyu pay for climbing to the fourth rank, and now she has caused me to have nothing again?!"

"If it weren't for you, how could this palace be rejected by the emperor and bullied by everyone in the harem?"

The door of Duanbenzhai creaked and was opened, Zhuang Wanqing and Xie Yu turned their heads, and saw Zhuang Luorou with a pink skirt, standing at the door with two maids, looking at him expressionlessly.

"You know?" Zhuang Wanqing smiled mockingly, "It's so funny, I thought I was smarter than you, but you are actually a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. You deliberately let the maid stumble me at the altar, Just standing in a position where I can catch it, who would believe that you really pushed me down, they will only laugh at me for being stupid, overreaching, and using this method to frame you."

Zhuang Luoyan walked into the gate, tilted her head and looked at Zhuang Wanqing with a pure and kind face, "Why can't my sister understand what my sister is talking about?"

"Tch," Zhuang Wanqing sneered when she saw her appearance, "Yes, you have always been such a pure, ignorant and self-willed appearance, which made daddy focus on you, and now you use the same It is really disgusting to use tricks to seduce the emperor."

"Isn't my sister also attracting the emperor's attention with her gentle and pleasant appearance?" Zhuang Luoyan smiled lightly, and glanced at the dilapidated Duanbenzhai, "It's quiet here, which is very suitable for my sister's temperament. The best policy is to straighten your heart. When you calculated that I would fall out of favor, you should have thought that if I regained favor one day, I would definitely pay back your calculations."

"You said that today, how do you know that I will never recover?" Zhuang Wanqing looked at her bitterly.

"Of course not." Zhuang Luoyan smiled like a flower, "Have you forgotten, what the emperor went through when he was young, the emperor is the son of the concubine, and you are just the daughter of the concubine."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Zhuang Wanqing, and walked out while saying, "Ting Zhu, go to Dianzhong Sheng to say something, my sister always likes old things, so if the people in Dian Zhong Sheng are free, don't come to Duanbenzhai to bother my sister."

"Yes, empress." Hearing Zhu Yingying's bow, she smiled as harmlessly as Zhuang Luoyan.

After leaving Duanbenzhai, Zhuang Luoyan raised her head to look at the blue sky, reciprocating retaliation. Back then, Zhuang Wanqing caused the original owner of this body to fall out of favor and die. Today, she let him lose everything, which can be regarded as a little reward for taking the original owner's body.

"Zhuang Luoyan, you must die!"

There was a stern curse sound from behind, Zhuang Luoyan turned her head to look at the dilapidated palace gate, under the worried eyes of Ting Zhu and Yun Xi, she suddenly showed a subtle smile.

Zhuang Luoyan died of a persistent high fever because of the harem trash. She is not Zhuang Luoyan, so why should she be afraid of dying?

"Master, do you want Mr. Zhuang Gui to talk less?" Ting Zhu asked.

"Forget it, anyway, she is also my elder sister, isn't she?" Zhuang Luoyan sighed, "Go back to the palace, that's all."

In March, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, in Jingyang Palace, the queen twirled a sunspot and looked at the emperor sitting opposite her with a smile, "The emperor's chess skills are getting better and better, and my concubine is almost powerless to fight."

"Why Caifu should be so self-deprecating?" Feng Jin blocked Heizi's way with white words, "I remember that Caifu played a good game of chess when I was young, and I am far behind."

"The emperor has made progress over the years, but the concubine is still stagnant, so the concubine can no longer win the emperor," the smile on the queen's face faded a little.

"People always have to improve," Feng Jin glanced at the chessboard, Heizi had no chance of winning, he looked away a little bored, "If I don't improve, won't I still be like the child I was back then?"

The queen smiled, but her heart was bitter and unspeakable. When she was the crown princess, she was the only woman by the emperor's side. Later, there were more and more women in the mansion, and the emperor spent less and less time with her. Later, she His little princess was gone, and later she became pregnant and had a miscarriage. At some point, the emperor already had a group of charming concubines by his side.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the province of the palace has come to report that the honorable Zhuang of Duanbenzhai has died." He Yu walked in and reported in a low voice.

"Mr. Zhuang Gui?" Feng Jin didn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhuang is Zhao Xianrong's older sister," the queen said, "You have demoted Huachao Festival to Duanbenzhai because you offended Zhao Xianrong."

Feng Jin nodded, "Since that's the case, let's bury it as usual."

"Your majesty, do you want to seal her?" The queen suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this noble man, plotting against her half-sister in every possible way. In the end, she had to mention her half-sister in order to let the emperor know who she was. It's pathetic and pathetic.

"Since he was punished for offending a nobleman, he is wearing the body of a crime, so there is no need to seal him up." Feng Jin stood up, "Just follow the nobleman's routine and bury him."

"Yes." The queen said no more.

In Xihe Palace, Zhuang Luoyan was admiring the peach blossoms sent by the emperor, when she heard the news of Zhuang Wanqing's death, she was stunned.

"Dead?" Zhuang Luoyan paused, and asked, "Does the emperor have a decree for enfeoffment?"

"Return to master, servant girl heard that the emperor said that she is wearing the body of a sin, so there is no need to seal her again." Ting Zhu replied.

Zhuang Luoyan thought for a while and said, "Changing clothes for me."

No matter how Zhuang Wanqing was, her surname was Zhuang, and she was still her younger sister, so she had to do some things.
