Chapter 288 The Second Concubine in the Cold Palace
Linlang's eyes lit up. The presence of fish meant that she could eat meat. It also meant that there should be an underground river below, and this well should be a live well.
But she didn't have the energy to do this now. She could only clean the dirty kitchen utensils first, but maybe because of their age, there were very few usable things, so she could only make do with them.
There are only two thin quilts left in the palace, and these quilts are not only extremely thin, but also feel extremely moist. They can be used in summer, but they will definitely not survive the winter. I have to find a way to get a few thick quilts.
After cleaning everything, the wolf's stomach was already growling. Now he found some wild vegetables in the corner, the legendary gray vegetables and purslane.
These things are both wild vegetables and medicinal materials, but now she doesn't care about anything else. She picks the freshest ones, cleans them, puts them into the earthen pot, then adds a small handful of rice to it, and cooks it slowly. Waiting for the fragrance to come out, Linlang's saliva almost dropped.
The taste of the wild vegetable porridge was average, but maybe it was because of the pure natural green pollution, so it tasted very good. He ate the entire jar, touched his slightly bulging belly, and Linlang revealed A satisfied smile.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Linlang could only put his things in the side hall next to him, then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
At the same time, there were people in the palace who couldn't sleep, especially the Queen, who looked extremely ugly.
"Damn imperial concubine, you know how to go against me. If she hadn't relied on the emperor's favor to show off her power, I would have sent this little bitch to the cold palace.
Those new beautiful ladies who entered the palace did not live up to expectations, not one of them was favored, and one was even moved directly to the cold palace..."
The nanny next to her comforted her and said, "Mom, we can't rush this matter. There is a saying that goes, love fades when lust fades.
The emperor cannot favor the imperial concubine all his life. There are so many women in the harem, and one day he will succeed. You are the queen, and you just need to sit tight on the Diaoyutai. ”
The queen naturally understood this truth, and her eyes turned red. "Although I understand this truth, my heart is still filled with panic. Isn't that damn little bitch just relying on the friendship with the emperor's childhood sweetheart? What's the matter? Big deal.”
The nanny could only comfort her wholeheartedly, "Mother, why do you have to care about a little noble concubine? You are the empress of the world, so naturally you must have the tolerance of a queen.
Besides, with so many newcomers entering the harem all at once, the one who is most anxious now is probably the imperial concubine, otherwise a little beautiful girl would not be moved to a place like the cold palace.
Although the emperor didn't say anything, it's okay once or twice. As time goes by, the emperor will definitely care about it, not to mention there are so many beauties in the harem, so we just need to wait slowly.
Nowadays, the most important thing in the entire harem is not the emperor's love, but the emperor's love for the concubine. However, the concubine's belly has been silent all these years. It is obvious that she is infertile. We only need to wait for other concubines to become pregnant and give birth to children, and then bring the children over. That’s it, you will be the queen forever, and no one can surpass you. ”
The queen's expression softened a little, "You are right, I really shouldn't care about a bitch like the imperial concubine, so what if I am favored? She has no children!
By the way, the beautiful lady in the cold palace asked someone to carefully illuminate it. Although it is useless now, there is no guarantee that it will come in handy one day. ”
The queen didn't take Linglong seriously at first, because she had been moved to the cold palace and might have been useless in the eyes of others.
But Linlang succeeded in letting the imperial concubine break through her defense. In the eyes of the queen, this was a signal. Perhaps the imperial concubine already had a sense of urgency. The imperial concubine really did not pay attention to those beautiful girls, until the palace maid found a white hair on her head while combing her hair, and the imperial concubine became anxious.
The emperor was in his prime. Although she and the emperor were only two years apart, women were no match for men. She was already old and wan, but the emperor was getting younger and stronger.
Maybe I can still win over the emperor with my previous beauty, but will the emperor still come to me after knowing that my appearance has faded in old age?
The imperial concubine's face became more and more gloomy, "Those imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are really hard-working. I have drank so much bitter medicine for so many years, why is there no movement in my stomach?"
The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "Maybe... maybe it's because the fate has not come yet. The empress is so favored, and sooner or later she will take Longzi with her."
There was a hint of sinisterness in the eyes of the imperial concubine, "If it really doesn't work, you can leave the mother and keep the son. Isn't that what our current Queen Mother does?"
The palace maid was so frightened that she couldn't say a word, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed one after another until the imperial concubine glanced coldly, waved her hand impatiently, and asked the palace maid to retreat.
Linlang didn't know that so many things happened while she was sleeping. She sneezed hard and rubbed her nose. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. It seems that the house must be repaired as soon as possible during the winter. At the same time, Get some thick quilts, otherwise you really won’t be able to survive this winter.
Just when Linlang was worried about his own supplies, a young eunuch came over with two palace maids. He was still wearing a lot of things on his hands, including some food and daily necessities. Although the workmanship was average, it looked quite thick.
"Although Lin Xiu Nu has been moved into this palace, the Queen still remembers you and asked your slave to bring some things over." The eunuch put the things on the ground with a smile, "I also hope that Lin Xiu Nu will cheer up soon. , you must know that you have been praised by the emperor.”
Linlang cursed Masipi in his heart. If it hadn't been for the emperor's compliments, he wouldn't have been moved into the cold palace by the imperial concubine.
Linlang also knew that she was actually the product of a fight between the imperial concubine and the empress. The empress was not well-meaning when she gave him things. She probably wanted to start fighting with the imperial concubine as soon as possible, but now that she had been moved to the cold palace, how could she still fight with the imperial concubine? When they got up, one was a noble concubine who was favored by the Sixth Palace, and the other was a little beautiful girl. They didn't even have a status. Fighting with each other was like an egg against a stone.
Linlang sighed heavily in her heart, but she was still very grateful to the queen. At least she didn't add insult to injury and brought so many things to her.
Linlang smiled and said thank you to her father-in-law, and then quietly put a silver coin into his hand.
"Father-in-law, there is nothing here. I also hope that my father-in-law can take more care of me. Can you ask someone to send you some vegetable seeds, and preferably some kitchen utensils..." Linlang's voice became smaller and smaller when she said this, mainly because The money I threw was a bit short, so I finally gritted my teeth and handed the bracelet on my wrist to my father-in-law.
This is a silver bracelet, which the original owner brought from home. It is also the most valuable piece of jewelry for the original owner.
The father-in-law weighed the silver dime, glanced at the silver jewelry again, and nodded slowly, "It happens that other palaces have some unwanted old things, and I hope Lin Xiunv won't dislike it. Our family will send someone to it later." Send it over.”
Linlang showed an expression of surprise. She thought this matter couldn't be done, but she didn't expect it to be done. However, this should be thanks to the Queen.
