Chapter 13 Yao Concubine
On the night that Qin Yunyi left the palace, Qi Zongwen went to Ditai Palace, Jiang Suyu was half moved, half sour, "There are so many sisters in the palace, Your Majesty will be wet with rain and dew in the future, so that the imperial heir will be continuous." ”
"When they enter the palace, you have to teach them the rules, so that they are honest and don't make trouble. Qi Zongwen said, "You are the queen, the master of the harem, now the harem population is simple, you have to think about it more, if you really can't do it, come and ask me, take care of it." ”
"Look at what Your Majesty said, Your Majesty is busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, how can the concubines let the affairs of the harem worry Your Majesty again. Jiang Suyu said, "There is still a queen mother in the palace, and the concubines are not sure about it, so they will ask the queen mother, and they will naturally handle it properly." ”
Qi Zongwen looked at her with a complicated mood, just to ask you not to listen to her in everything, but this was disrespectful, and he only said vaguely, "When the queen mother was back, she didn't take much care of palace affairs." ”
The words were said lightly and vaguely, and Jiang Suyu did not hear them clearly.
Jiang Suyu said with a smile, "There are so many sisters in the palace, it was originally a great joy, but the concubine went out of the palace, which is quite unbeautiful, Your Majesty should not forget her because the concubine is not in the palace, you should reward her more." ”
"Anyway, if the concubines have a share of the sisters, they must have a share of the concubines. ”
You either deliberately went out of the palace or didn't want to see Your Majesty pampering others, I want to tell you, who Your Majesty has blessed today, and who Your Majesty has rewarded tomorrow, I want to hold it high if Your Majesty likes it, I want to see if you are in the palace, whether you sit or not.
Qin Yunyi sat very well.
She lives in the palace very regularly, she gets up in the morning, after breakfast, she sits on the couch and enjoys the scenery outside the window, and after lunch at noon, she will take a nap, about two quarters, and when the lunch break is over, she continues to lie on the couch to watch the scenery. In the afternoon, she would get up and go to Yuquan Palace.
Yuquan Palace is a large bath, three zhang wide, about five zhang long, decorated with a total of nine golden faucet nozzles all around, white jade to do steps, hanging around with mansha, Qin Yunyi wants to make water, the water temperature is not too high, and do not want those roses, milk and other things to soak in the bath.
The half-amputated belly pocket tightly tied the upper body, the light bed pants were only up to the knees, and the jet-black hair was braided and coiled on the top of the head, and then fixed with bead nets, this is Qin Yunyi's dress when he went into the water.
After entering the water, he was not busy paddling, closed his eyes and held his breath and sank under the water, the first time he did this, he also scared Miaoping, he didn't hear the sound of water moving outside the screen for a long time, and he couldn't see any trace of Niangniang when he looked at it, so he shouted anxiously, or Dusk Yu's face was white, "Niangniang, it won't be underwater, right?"
Miao Ping was anxious to enter the water, Qin Yunyi broke through the water and stretched out his head, "Silly girl, you don't know how to water, come down and die?" The deepest bath is to a person's chest, and it can drown people.
"The mother scared the slave to death. Miao Ping sat paralyzed on the shore, only to feel that his feet were weak and he couldn't get up.
"Worried that I'm looking for death?" Qin Yunyi asked with a smile, there was self-deprecation and disgust that Miao Ping couldn't understand in that smile, and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't die at the beginning, and now I still look for death, I feel hypocritical." ”
". Miao Ping said, "Anyway, the slave and maid will serve the mother here." "Originally, I was afraid of disturbing the mother's excitement, so I waited behind the screen.
"You sit there. Qin Yunyi said, she paddled backwards in the water, like a fish, swimming in the water smartly, "You can also come down and play." ”
Miao Ping shook his head repeatedly.
Qin Yunyi asked Twilight Yu again, "You are from Jiangnan, can you drink water?"
Twilight shook her head slightly.
"Really?" Qin Yunyi asked, "My eldest sister-in-law is from Jiangnan, and she has a good time playing in the water, and she taught me all the water." ”
"There are many people in Jiangnan who know how to swim water, but not everyone can. Twilight said, "Mommy won't let us learn these useless things." ”
Qin Yunyi stopped talking, and swam in the water with his head bored, one back and forth, two back and forth.
It took an hour to play before he got to the shore, "I haven't played for a long time, I can't play anymore, otherwise I won't be able to save my hands and feet." ”
"Slave and maid, press it for the mother. Myohei said.
Qin Yunyi was wrapped in a blanket and lying on the chaise longue, Miaoping pressed her legs, and Duyu felt that she was not disciplined in massage, so she had the courage to press it herself. She exerted a little effort, Qin Yunyi exhaled in pain, and Miao Ping looked at her vigilantly.
"That's it. Qin Yunyi turned around and said.
The twilight rain continued.
"This is what your mother asked you to learn?" Qin Yunyi also asked.
"Hmm. Twilight nodded and said, some of them thought that the concubine did not know their origins, some thought that the concubine knew, and Twilight Yu thought that the concubine knew, but unlike Qingxi, Qingxi went to curry favor with Mama Zhang, and she was by the side of the concubine, looking for an opportunity to express herself.
Go back to the water, have a good appetite, have an excellent dinner, when waiting for the hair to dry, still look at the scenery outside the window, the concubine lives in Taohuawu, the palace eunuch wants to make this piece bright, along the edge of the Yao Pond hung all the way to the lamp, in the night it seems that the stars are dotted, like a dream.
I fell asleep every day.
There are people in the palace every day, either the queen gave Ayaluo, or the fresh melons and fruits newly presented by the inner division, and then the people who came were either quick or upright, indicating their intention to say a few words about the palace things, nothing more than who His Majesty was fortunate to be yesterday, and what was rewarded to the concubine today.
They were not qualified to meet the concubine in person, counting on the palace maid to pass the word to the concubine, Miaoping only complained privately that the queen mother was uneasy and kind, but in addition, she did not mention a word in front of Qin Yunyi.
Concubine Xian lives in the Bailu Palace, which is far away from the two palaces in Taohuawu, surrounded by wood hibiscus, and the palace eunuch specially made a swing for the eldest princess, and brought a small milk dog, coaxing the eldest princess to be happy every day.
Concubine Xian sat on the side and watched her play, and when she saw her happy, she was also safe and happy.
"Niangniang, the queen has sent melons and fruits again. Si'er came in with a fruit bowl, "This time it's a melon from the northwest." ”
"Cut it into small pieces and eat it when the princess is tired of playing. Concubine Xian said, "The queen is a drunkard, and she doesn't mean to drink." ”
Everyone could see what she was thinking. Si'er glanced at the Taohuawu, "But the concubine is really sitting." ”
"She's a smart person. Concubine Xian said. Since they all chose to leave the palace at this time, how could they care about the gains and losses in the palace. What's more, she also has self-confidence, and no one can replace her self-confidence.
"Hearing the news, this golden nobleman has been favored for three days in a row, and His Majesty also authorized her to enter the Yushou Palace to greet Concubine Li. Si'er said, "This is a courtesy that crosses the level, I'm afraid that in a few days, Jin Guiren will become Jin Zhaoyi, and even, Jin Concubine?"
"What she becomes has nothing to do with us. Concubine Xian said.
There is really good news in the palace, Concubine Yao was diagnosed with a two-month pregnancy, and when the time is calculated, it happened to be conceived when His Majesty favored the harem for the first time after his filial piety.
This is His Majesty's first child after ascending the throne, Jiang Suyu immediately went around to report the good news after hearing the news, and immediately went around to report the good news, so that she could take care of Concubine Yao and exempt her from asking for peace every day.
Naturally, the palace will also be notified here
Yu Menglai said very angrily when he replied to Qin Yunyi, "It's a good thing that Concubine Yao Niangniang is happy, why is the person who passed the message so annoying, saying that Concubine Yao Niangniang is the first time that His Majesty has been pregnant in the harem after his filial piety, it's really blessed, isn't this just cursing Niangniang to serve Your Majesty the most, but there is no blessing?"
"Why didn't I hear the little eunuch say so much? Miao Ping glared at her and told her to go down, "Niangniang." ”
"She doesn't understand me, so she thought it would sting me if she said that, do you think it can sting me too?" Qin Yunyi asked with a smile.
"The slave knows that if the mother wants to get pregnant, she can get pregnant a long time ago. Miao Ping said that Niangniang has been taking the pills prepared by Dr. Yuan, at first it was said that it was a medicine to nourish the body, but every time it was taken after the prince came, and then the Niangniang came to menstrual pain was always unbearable, and Dr. Yuan came to see the doctor before saying that he had leaked his mouth, and eating too much contraceptive medicine was harmful to the body.
Later, Dr. Yuan prescribed long-term contraceptive medicine, which weakened, but needed to be eaten for a long time, and the advantage was that the mother did not feel so painful when she had menstruation.
Why should the mother take medicine?
Qin Yunyi didn't know Miaoping's doubts, and only said, "It's a good thing that Concubine Yao is pregnant, you send a message to ask Miao'an to prepare a congratulatory gift, although I am not in the palace, there is still a number of courtesies." ”
Mama Zhang knew that Yumeng said superfluous things in front of the concubine, so she came up to ask for guilt, saying that she didn't train the girl well.
"It doesn't matter. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "If you really can't learn the rules well, when you return to the palace, you can stay in the palace." There are only a few months of masters here, and the rules are not so strict. ”
A layer of cold sweat appeared behind Mama Zhang, she initially thought that the concubine left eight well-trained show girls in the palace in order to fix her favor, but now she sees that the concubine just wants them to be palace people, and has no other thoughts.
Then you have to start training, the concubine wants her to train people separately from Mama Li, that is, she has a comparative mind, she can't be left behind, she has to let Niangniang see her ability.
Mama Zhang's training method is different from Mama Li's, it turned out that eight people were on daily errands and listened to training at night, and now, the concubine Niangniang is no better to serve, she doesn't like others to disturb her when she looks at the scenery.
Except for Miaoping who stayed on the third floor of Niangniang in case Niangniang needed it, everyone came to the first floor to learn how to clean, starting with mopping the floor and wiping the pillars.
They have been cultivated as little stars since they were children, how can they do such rough work, the water twists the veil, and tears fall.
Mama Zhang said, "In the palace, the first taboo is to shed tears in front of people, you have to feel wronged, secretly cry in the bed, and you can't be loud." ”
"Reach out. "Mama Zhang has a seven-inch-long ring ruler, and if she doesn't do well, she won't be beaten, and she can learn again, but if she tears and slacks, she will hit her palm three times to show punishment.
If you are still not satisfied, you will kneel on your futon with copper basin water on your head, and kneel for an hour, if you accidentally shake the water from the copper basin, it is okay to wet your clothes, but if you wet the bedding, you will not have to cover it at night.
If you don't behave well, you will starve at night.
I also have to listen to Mama Zhang talk about the rules in the palace and the taboos of serving at night.
They complained bitterly, but they didn't know that in order to show her loyalty to the concubine, Mama Zhang taught them the skills of serving in the palace for half her life.
