Chapter 105 Negotiation
The maple trees in the Imperial Garden were quietly dyed light red, and the Podocarpus in the corner of the Yongshou Palace courtyard remained green along with the rockery and flowing water.
Concubine Jing was still sitting in her old seat, with a cheerful look on her face, except for a hint of embarrassment when she met Concubine Duan's gaze.
Jingpin felt a little embarrassed, as if she had stolen something from someone else.
Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Jingpin has come a long way over the years. From now on, Concubine Fang must guide Jingpin well. Don't worry about Jingpin's qualifications. She is kind and studious, and will definitely be willing to listen."
Jiang Ruyin pretended not to hear anything. While the concubines were congratulating Concubine Jing, Jiang Ruyin looked at Concubine Gong and said gently.
"Lady Gong should go out more often. It hurts me to see you always alone."
Only then did Concubine Gong come back to her senses and looked at Jiang Ruyin, "I have Duolan, so I am not alone."
Dolan behind her smiled, narrowed his eyes and nodded at Jiang Ruyin.
Concubine Jing came to the rescue and said, "Concubine Qian and Noble Lady Cheng live with you in the East Six Palaces, and they can joke with you in their free time. Concubine Qian is the quietest, and the Seventh Prince is also very well-behaved. After seeing them, you may want to have a well-behaved baby too." When Concubine Jing mentioned children, she laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared.
When leaving Yongshou Palace that day, Concubine Jing asked Concubine Xin to go with her to Yanx Palace to visit Hongning. Hongning had a weak voice but was not afraid of people. He would look at everyone with his bright eyes.
After that, Jingpin became busy, but her desire to raise a child became stronger and stronger.
An Lingrong was called and smiled at Concubine Gong.
Cheng Guiren was in a dilemma and could only force a smile.
She had a miscarriage before and lived in Yanhui Pavilion for a long time. Later, when the emperor and others returned from the Old Summer Palace, An Lingrong brought a little prince to live in the main hall that originally belonged to Concubine Cheng.
And Concubine Cheng was sent to the west side hall of Zhongcui Palace with a scroll of imperial decree, and enjoyed the status of a concubine.
The excuse is that it is for the sake of the royal heir.
The last person who lived here has become a wandering ghost. Even though Concubine Cheng knew that the previous "Yu's ghost" was someone impersonated by Zhen Huan, she couldn't help but feel scared.
If that accident had not happened, I would probably be the one living alone in the Yanx Palace and raising the prince.
Thinking of this, Concubine Cheng glanced at An Lingrong and hated Zhen Huan even more.
Zhen Huan looked at Duolan's smiling face, which seemed to bear some resemblance to Concubine Gong at first glance, so she asked, "How old is Duolan this year? Ordinary palace maids are forced to leave the palace upon turning twenty-five. What are Concubine Gong's plans?"
Hearing what Zhen Huan said, Huanbi also looked over curiously.
Concubine Gong slammed her leg in distress and said, "I will not let her stay in the palace. I want her to marry a good husband and live a good life."
Dolan bent down slightly and said dejectedly in Gong Guiren's ear: "I don't want to leave Sister Tara."
Shen Meizhuang looked at Duolan and whispered, "You don't have any connections in the capital. How easy is it to find a good home for Duolan?"
Concubine Gong replied in a low voice, "I know."
"In this Forbidden City, the only good husband is the emperor," Concubine Xin joked.
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Gong was the first to turn pale.
Seeing this, Concubine Xin hurriedly said, "Haha, actually the guards in the palace are not bad either. They are all the best among the Manchu and Han military flags, haha..."
We chatted for a while at today's regular meeting and ended late.
Concubine Gong hesitated and stayed, and Jiang Ruyin looked at her calmly.
"Beijing also has the habit of drinking milk tea, but now people are more accustomed to using milk tea or tea leaves to make milk tea. I guess there are very few pure Mongolian milk teas."
Noble Lady Gong nodded, "At first, Duolan and I brought some, but later we finished it. We couldn't get used to the milk tea in the capital, so we thought tea would be fine."
Can drink now...
Jiang Ruyin chuckled, "Sister is really interesting, try this milk tea."
"Yes!" Concubine Gong looked at Jiang Ruyin happily. There was fried rice and milk tofu. She hurriedly handed her bowl to Duolan.
Duolan took a sip from Concubine Gong's hand and said, "This is the salty and fragrant taste. Your Majesty is amazing."
She jumped up and down in joy.
Suochun puffed out his chest proudly.
"My mother is from Inner Mongolia, so Suochun learned this craft from her side since she was young." Jiang Ruyin sighed softly and looked at Suochun with resentment, "But Suochun's tea-making skills are still more advanced."
Suo Chun twisted his body with a smile.
At the door, Fu Qiu tilted his head and took a look.
Concubine Gong looked at Suochun seriously, then turned and asked, "Your Majesty, can I learn how to make it from Suochun? Oh, I don't have the materials either, okay."
Her voice became quieter, as if she were muttering to herself.
Jiang Ruyin avoided answering, "Yesterday I heard the emperor say that Duolan was very interesting. After taking a closer look today, I found that it was indeed true."
Concubine Gong was stunned. "Did the emperor also tell you? Does he really mean this..."
"What?" Dolan asked quietly.
Concubine Gong shook her head without answering her, but her whole body became dejected.
"Duolan, do you have a lover?" Jiang Ruyin asked suddenly.
Dolan was slightly startled, but still answered seriously: "He doesn't like me."
"Does he have a sweetheart?"
"He prefers Abba's mission."
Gong Guiren frowned, "Dolan!"
Dolan realized it belatedly and pursed his lips.
Jiang Ruyin asked again, "What do you think?"
Concubine Gong looked back at Duolan who was drinking from the bowl in small sips.
"Duolan doesn't understand the things in the mansion. She will be bullied if she gets married in the capital." Gong Guiren was silent for a moment and told the truth.
Jiang Ruyin's smile deepened. "He likes his father's mission more. Does he like the girl the emperor gave him?"
Dolan was delighted. "Yes, he likes these the most. Don't you think so, Sister Tara?"
Concubine Gong was also puzzled. "You, your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Jiang Ruyin smiled but said nothing.
Concubine Gong became restless on the spot.
After a few moments of silence, Concubine Gong pulled Dolan to his knees.
"If Duolan can really marry her sweetheart, I am willing to obey your Majesty's orders."
Lady Gong spoke seriously, and Jiang Ruyin smiled lightly, "It's meaningless to obey orders. Helping you is helping myself."
Jiang Ruyin took Concubine Gong to the inner room, and Suochun pulled Duolan aside to chat.
"The blue color suits you very well." Jiang Ruyin put on a three-strand hairpin with a light blue pattern and pearls for Concubine Gong.
Concubine Gong also liked the look of this hairpin, and her eyes followed it, "I really like blue. I heard that the sea is blue."
Jiang Ruyin picked out a pearl headband and a jeweled hairpin with dangling pearls. She also took out a pair of carved silver hairpins and pinned them on the other side.
Concubine Gong touched her hair and pulled off her clothes.
"Looking at her like this, she suddenly becomes gentle." This is the comment of Concubine Gong.
