Chapter 5: Little Farewell Reunion
Three days after the queen entered the palace, Qi Zongwen went to Ditai Palace for the first time, and Jiang Suyu was very happy to see him coming, but there were a lot of palace maids standing next to him, and it was not easy to talk closely.
Qi Zongwen asked a few words about how she entered the palace.
Thanks to the queen mother's guidance by the side, now I can only understand the palace affairs in general. Fortunately, there are few things now, and the concubines can be sorted out slowly. Jiang Suyu said. "Your Majesty has lost a lot, but you must take care of yourself. ”
"The queen has also cleared a lot. Qi Zongwen said.
"The concubine went to the temple for His Majesty and the concubines to serve the ancestors and pray for blessings, and the concubines did not dare to be lazy, and they would copy two volumes of scriptures by hand every day. Jiang Suyu whispered, "Pray for Your Majesty." ”
"The queen is fortunate. Qi Zongwen said, "Since the concubine has done it, the queen doesn't have to do it anymore, you deal with palace affairs every day, and you are filial to my mother, it is already very hard, and your body is important." ”
"Pray for Your Majesty, the concubines don't feel happy. Jiang Suyu's face flushed.
Qi Zongwen was helpless, this princess had never heard of him, and she still expected her to become the queen, what changes would happen? Now the queen mother and concubine in the palace have no emotional ties with him, and for the sake of filial piety, it is already the limit that he can go to greet the queen mother every day, and as for the rest, the queen can only do it.
"If the queen mother and the concubine have any needs, they must be carefully met, and the eighth and ninth brothers should not be negligent. Qi Zongwen explained, "I have promised the eighth and ninth brothers that when they leave the palace at the age of seventeen, they will be allowed to take their mother out to be raised, and you should be careful not to let the two concubines be wronged in the palace." ”
"Look at what Your Majesty said, who in the palace will give the concubine a grievance?" Jiang Suyu said with a smile.
Qi Zongwenmo, Empress Dowager Wu was aggrieved when she was the queen, and now she is the queen mother, if you want to say that she is still benevolent and loving, even if it is a little fake, but Qi Zongwen doesn't care.
"I know that you came to the palace as a queen to reward everyone, but it's better to keep it and wait for filial piety to reward you. Qi Zongwen said, "I also want to reward the harem after I have filial piety." ”
Jiang Suyu hummed softly.
After finishing the matter, the couple looked at each other, but they had nothing to say, Qi Zongwen endured to have dinner with her before returning to Tianqing Palace.
"Has Yun'er eaten at this time?" Qi Zongwen asked himself on the Luan car.
"The concubine used a small bowl of rice and a bowl of tofu soup, and she ate very cleanly. Han Xing reported in the foreign affairs that as His Majesty's confidant, he naturally wanted to think about His Majesty's thoughts.
"Why is there only a bowl of tofu soup?" Qi Zongwen frowned again, "It's a vegetarian, and you have to prepare it in a different way, it's so hard every day, how can you only eat tofu soup, she never asks for it, and the dining room has to do it herself." If the concubine comes out of the Taimiao and loses weight, I can only ask you. ”
"That Niangniang lost a lot of weight when she entered the Taimiao, and she can't expect the Niangniang to be fat in the Taimiao. Han Xing pretended to be pitiful and said.
"yes. She was so thin, I still let her go to Taimiao to suffer, she really shouldn't be. Qi Zongwen sighed and said. Especially for the sake of me, she is so pious and ascetic.
No, the concubine made such a big sacrifice for me, how could she not let outsiders know, so under Qi Zongwen's instructions, the concubine's asceticism in the Taimiao gradually became known.
At first, everyone heard the news, but it was His Majesty who made a name for the concubine, and according to the concubine's arrogant reputation in the past, it was great that the concubine could stay in the temple for a month.
It's just that no one thought that the concubine could really stay in the temple for so long, except for His Majesty going to the temple on the fifteenth day of the first month to offer incense, they have never heard of the imperial concubine meeting alone, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites present also said that the concubine was dressed as a layman, pure and solemn, as if she wanted to take refuge in Buddhism.
No one thought that the concubine could do so well in the Taimiao, and it was already good to be able to chant the scriptures all day long, not to mention that the concubine was still doing it herself in front of the statue of the ancestors, and she was serving the ancestors in response to that sentence.
Since the concubine didn't go to the Taimiao to do a perfunctory thing, this move still saved a lot of reputation, and she also had another opinion on her transgression of entering Chongtianmen as a concubine.
The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, Your Majesty carries love, can you still let the concubine resist the decree?
In the middle of April when the wisteria bloomed, Qi Zongwen was filial piety under the persuasion of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and the people had already gone out of the country to be filial, but thinking that the emperor was still serving filial piety, he could only press a should marry, and now His Majesty has finally figured it out, and they can also prepare for family affairs.
What's more, Your Majesty is still young now, the harem is empty, and there is only one eldest princess under her knees, everyone is looking forward to entering the palace to serve Your Majesty, and having a son and a half daughter, that is, the whole family is soaring.
On the first night of filial piety, Qi Zongwen was placed in the Ditai Palace, and the next day, the concubine asked An to see the queen's red face, and could only smile and congratulate each other.
The rest are Concubine Song, Concubine Xian, and three more concubines, for five days in a row, Qi Zongwen is rain and dew, and then on the sixth day, Han Xing personally went to Taimiao to pick up the concubine Niangniang back to the palace.
After not facing the sun for a long time, Qin Yunyi narrowed his eyes unnaturally, "Why did you still work for Manager Han's master?"
"Look at what Niangniang said, what kind of labor does the small one not work for, His Majesty can't come to pick up the mother in person, only by sending the small one can you rest assured. Han Xing said, "Niangniang, please get in the car." ”
Waiting for the car to stop in front of Ronghua Palace, Qin Yunyi got out of the car and saw long purple flowers, "Sure enough, I'm not wrong, this flower is really beautiful when it blooms." ”
"Mother, go in first. Han Xing said, "The little one goes back to his life, and His Majesty will come to Ronghua Palace soon." ”
"You have to take your time. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, I have to dress up well." ”
Miao Ping led everyone to kneel in front of the courtyard to greet him, "Niangniang." With tears in her eyes, she walked forward on her knees.
"Hurry up. Qin Yunyi picked her up, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"Slaves and maids are not hard, mothers are hard. Myohei said.
"Everybody's working hard. Qin Yunyi said, "Help me to take a bath, Your Majesty will come over later." ”
Soaking in the hot water with a faint pain on his hot skin, Qin Yunyi sighed, as if he wanted to sigh out of his body all the cold and damp qi accumulated in Taimiao. She doesn't feel that the days in the Taimiao are bitter, and the days that come out are really bitter.
"The slave maid only said that this Ronghua Palace was small and exquisite, until the queen advised His Majesty to choose another palace as the residence of the concubine, and the slave and maid knew how important the location of this Ronghua Palace was. Miao Ping said something easy to Qin Yunyi. "Fortunately, Your Majesty did not allow it, the queen said that the Ronghua Palace was too small to be the residence of the concubine, so His Majesty made it clear that the Ganquan next to it was also divided into the Ronghua Palace, and now our place is much more spacious. ”
"Really?"
"I have to do some shopping when I have free time. Qin Yunyi said with a smile.
Soak her skin pink before taking a bath, Miao Ping said that her mother lost weight and couldn't help crying, "Come back and eat meat for two days and it will grow back, is it worth it for you to cry?" Qin Yunyi said, she looked at herself in the mirror, the person in the mirror had fair skin, a little weak, and her facial features were clear and beautiful, like a hibiscus out of water.
"Now the people of Ronghua Palace have all the masters behind them. According to Niangniang's instructions, the slave and maid did not go out of their way to get to know and pull in, but only guarded the main hall and the treasury. ”
"Hmm. ”
"I don't believe all the people here, they all changed. Qin Yunyi said.
"There are also those who don't have a master behind them. Miao Ping said hesitantly. "Some people came to ask the slave and maid for news, and some came to show favor to the slave and maid. ”
"Without me, they have a place to serve. Qin Yunyi said, "I don't need to distinguish them one by one, I have to pick and teach the people in Ronghua Palace by myself." ”
"Niangniang, which set of clothes to choose?" Miao'an asked people to hold a few large wooden frames over, with a set of skirts on the shelves, Qin Yunyi got up and selected, the grass-green bandeau painted red and sprinkled with gold, the long cloak of snow-blue embroidered wisteria with a light purple shawl, Qin Yunyi's skin was like white fat, and such a color could also be supported.
The fairy bun, the golden silk is inlaid with red treasure and five phoenix hairpins, the fingertips are dyed red, and the lipstick is generally bright.
It was Qin Yunyi's favorite rich dress in the palace in the past.
". Miao An was puzzled, "Why didn't Niangniang dress as plain and fresh as she did when she first came out of Taimiao, and let His Majesty know that Niangniang is not happy in Taimiao." ”
"Your Majesty has not seen me in Taimiao. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "After looking at the plain clothes for a year, I just want to dress up more gorgeously, so that Your Majesty likes it." ”
"The saint is coming to Ronghua Palace, and Ronghua Palace will take over~" The slender voice of the eunuch came, and Qin Yunyi looked at the void with a strange face, "What about the first time I took over?"
Before Qin Yunyi walked out of the palace gate, Qi Zongwen had already hurried over.
"Your Majesty. Before Qin Yunyi could go down, he was hugged by Qi Zongwen and hugged him tightly in his arms, "Yun'er." ”
Qin Yunyi's hand also hugged Qi Zongwen's waist, his heart was agitated, and he even whispered out the nickname he had in private, "Lang Jun." ”
