Chapter 232 Thank you for the monthly ticket of Drifting Snow and Haunting Qingqing, I wish you all a Happy New Year 2017!
Yinzhen's "punishment" is tantamount to a comfortable long vacation for me. www.biquge.info There is no need to go to Yongshou Palace to ask for peace, and there is no need to worry about the busyness of the Spring Festival in Jingren Palace, just read a book every day, copy a "Death Mantra" without pressure at all, and relax your body and mind to think about your next plans the rest of the time.
As I said to Dongmei, in the past, Geng's father was on an errand by Yinzhen's side, and Geng's mother was often alone in the house, and I had to take care of their and the Geng family's safety in everything I did. Anyway, the road ahead of Hongli has already been paved, no matter what I do, I can't change his identity as a prince, as long as Hongli's identity as the prince remains unchanged, even if I am convicted by mistake, if it is not a major crime of rebellion, I will not waver in him. In that case, there is nothing to be afraid of when I am alone.
Thinking about these clearly, my heart suddenly felt relaxed, and after a month of peace of mind, I entered the wax moon and ate laba porridge, and the taste of the New Year was strong.
Because of Kangxi's death last year, the people did not have a good Spring Festival, and they can make up for it this year. The people in the palace have not been lively for a long time, and the boring life inevitably needs some entertainment atmosphere as adjustment and comfort.
I don't know what is going on in other palaces, the palace people in Jingren Palace know that the two masters in this palace are good-tempered, and they have never treated and scolded the palace people, and they are also very comfortable in acting.
"Children, don't be greedy, children, after Laba is the New Year. Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, and it will be twenty-three. Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky; twenty-four, house-sweeping day; twenty-five, fried tofu; twenty-six, stewed meat; twenty-seven, slaughtering rooster; twenty-eight, noodle hair; twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Chinese New Year's Eve stay overnight; New Year's New Year. ”
In the growing flavor of the New Year, the mood of the people of Jingren Palace is particularly relaxed and happy, while hanging the palace lamp, talking and laughing, a few eleven or twelve-year-old palace people actually clapped their hands and recited nursery rhymes outside the palace.
Listening to the lively movement outside, the lonely heart also added some heat. got up and opened the door and walked out, the palace people outside immediately shut down, they all knew that the Geng family had changed, they knew that I was in a bad mood, and the Qian family had also warned them not to disturb, so when they saw me come out, they thought that the movement was too loud and disturbed my purity, and they were worried that I would be angry, so they immediately lowered their heads nervously and did not dare to say more.
"The song just now was good, and I remember when I was a child, I also loved to help the family work while singing songs. It's almost the New Year, it's okay for everyone to be lively, and seeing your happy appearance, I also feel down-to-earth and warm in my heart. Dongmei, go get the reward money and share it with everyone, let's have a good New Year together. Looking around at everyone's expressions, I smiled disapprovingly.
When the palace people saw that I not only did not blame but also gave a reward, their tense nerves slowly relaxed, and they smiled happily and thanked them, and a few clever ones also said some auspicious words, and then they started to work again, and the atmosphere became active again.
"Xu Fuduo went to the Yangxin Palace and Yongshou Palace to inform him, and said that the one-month punishment period has arrived, and I know that I am wrong, and I will bathe and fast from tonight, and go to the Jingren Palace Buddha Hall early in the morning to pray for blessings, and ask the emperor and queen to allow it. Dongmei followed me to sit in Concubine Xi's palace, thanks to her for these days, I was able to ask for the purity of the rest of the month. "Send Xu Fuduo to the two palaces to ask for an order, and I will lead Dongmei to the Qian family.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Qian sitting on one side of the warm couch drinking tea, and on the other side sitting Hongli who was practicing calligraphy. Seeing me come in, Hongli hurriedly got up and called affectionately, "Concubine Yu is good." ”
Hearing Hongli call him so, he smiled dumbly, glanced at him angrily, and said, "I used to call Aunt Geng, why is it suddenly like this now?"
As he spoke, he deliberately snorted coldly at the Qian family, and said with a smile: "Maybe you were told to learn the rules by your mother again, right?"
Hongli jumped up and hugged my arm and said, "Good aunt, don't be angry, this time it's really wrong to blame my mother, even if my mother doesn't nag me to learn the rules all day long, the minions in the palace who teach the rules can't let me go." Besides, you are now a serious concubine Niangniang, Hongguang now sees Eniang, doesn't he also salute and call Concubine Xi Niangniang in a proper manner? I call you Concubine Niangniang also because of respect, not to mention that this Concubine Yu Niangniang sounds much more magnificent than my aunt. ”
Qian didn't mind me making fun of her Hongli, and happily watched me and Hongli laugh one by one. Waited until Hongli pulled me to sit down and said, "Seeing that you can be interested in laughing with Hongli, I am also relieved." Hongli didn't shout wrong, no matter how he said it, he was in the palace, he is not young now, and the rules that should be followed must be followed, so as not to get used to it casually in Jingren Palace, and go outside without any sense of proportion to cause trouble. ”
I chuckled and sighed: "The deceased is gone, the living will continue, I am not a person who drills the horns of the bull, many things are seen more than ordinary people, if my parents really live up, it is the destiny of heaven, I can live and die together, I will be really happy for them." But this matter is not as simple as it seems, there are people doing something in secret, but I can't figure out what anyone will do against me now. ”
"The Geng family's matter is a man-made disaster? In my opinion, it can't be saved, and it's a moth made by the Li family. ”
I came back from outside the palace and went to the Qianqing Palace to receive the punishment without taking a picture with the Qian family, and then went back to the residence and locked up myself for a month, so the Qian family didn't know about the Geng family, and only now did I hear about it, and Xiao Shunzi's reaction was the same, the first thing that came to mind was that the Li family was making trouble behind his back.
I secretly thought that this Li family really recruited a black physique, and she would think of her at the first moment when she did any bad thing, and it was enough to be a person to do this. didn't think about relying on her for this, and told the Qian family again about the guess about Xiao Shunzi, and continued: "There will be no loss of Li's share in this, but it will definitely not be what she did behind her back." She doesn't have the IQ or the ability, but that's fine, I'm thinking that maybe I can use her as a breakthrough to find the person hiding in the shadows. ”
Qian "hey" and said: "Why don't these people want to have a peaceful birthday, you said that when you were in the Qiandi, they fought for favor or the throne, but now that they are older, there is nothing to fight for just a few people, and the emperor's throne has been settled, and there is no need to continue to make trouble." It's hard to live a good life. ”
Qian's words reminded me like an initiation. That's right, it's not for favor, it's not for power, so what's it for, seeking revenge?
In the more than 20 years since I came to this era, I think that I have always been kind to others, and I rarely have enmity with others unless it is necessary, even with the people of the Ulanala clan and the Eight Masters party, I don't have a big personal grudge, and I can resolve it as much as possible. Only the grievances with the Li family are all because she did too much at the beginning, and now she is biting on the ground so much. But I still don't think that this dark web that has been laid since the Hidden Mansion has not been noticed by me in the slightest is something that Li can do.
So who else could there be besides the Li family? It couldn't be the old family anymore, she had now fulfilled her wish and lived the life she wanted. Most of my friends and enemies had been killed and wounded in those years of struggle, and only the Li family was left, so it was no wonder that Xiaoshunzi and Qian would think that she had done it.
I reminded Qian and Hongli to be cautious, obviously this person's strategy is to eradicate the people close to me one by one, torture my mind with isolation tactics, break through my psychological defense, and then slowly kill me. Now that Xiao Shunzi has been transferred away from me, and the Geng family's parents have both died, the closest to me is none other than Hongday, and then the Qian family and Hongli. If I were that person, the next target would definitely be the Qian family, because Hongli and Hongday were both princes, and doing something to the prince would attract Yinzhen's attention, and I am afraid it would be difficult to get out at that time. And the Qian family is different, her family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is alone in the palace, as long as there is a little difference, she can catch the handle and make it irreversible.
Qian has experienced a lot of things with me over the years, and he knows that my inferences are usually not groundless, so he has to be cautious, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly lost its previous pleasure and became a little heavy and depressing.
Hongli doesn't understand what we're talking about, but he also grew up watching the rights and wrongs of the Qiandi, and he also understands that this time I'm afraid something will happen again. So he asked uneasily: "E-niang has an aunt in the palace to take care of her, as long as you are careful, my son will be careful himself, and he will not let the bad guys take advantage of the loopholes, but what should I do with the younger brother of Hongday?" He is now alone outside the palace, if he encounters danger, I am afraid that there is no one to count on, why don't we go to the emperor and let him find out the bad guys, and everything will be fine?"
I touched Hongli's little face, shook my head with a smile and said: "Silly boy, it's not as simple as you say, the bad guys do things very hidden, my aunt hasn't got the real evidence, and your emperor Ama is now busy dealing with the world's major affairs, so it's impossible to be distracted to deal with these." As long as we can't catch the tail of that bad guy's fox for a day, we won't be able to easily alarm your emperor Ama for a day. But you don't have to worry about Hongday, he is the same age as you, and he has reached the age of training, and I believe that he will have his own judgment and handling methods when encountering things. If he really got on the road, there were people outside the palace who helped take care of Xiaoshunzi, so he didn't have to worry too much. ”
Hongli heard me say this, and his frowning brows relaxed slightly, but he still looked a little uneasy, but he still promised me not to tell Yinzhen about these things, unless it was a last resort.
These troublesome things were confined to the three people in the house, and were not discovered by the rest of the palace. The entire Forbidden City is still bustling.
Xu Fuduo came back with the decree and said that the emperor and the queen had approved my petition, so I also began to get busy, fasting and bathing, waiting for the day after tomorrow to go to the palace to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Three days later, early in the morning, I got up early before dawn to change my clothes, put on extremely grand and gorgeous palace clothes, put on the flag head that should be due to the concubine regulations, wore high satin flower pot bottom embroidered shoes, followed by holding the copied 30 copies of the "Mantra of Death" and other Buddhist scriptures that I had nothing to do, and walked out of the house slowly towards the small Buddha hall in Jingren Palace with the support of Xu Fuduo.
After going through all the rituals that should have been done, looking at the faint light smoke that ignited when the scriptures were burned in the charcoal basin, my eyes were deep, and I secretly hoped that the Geng family's parents would have a spirit in heaven to tell me who killed them.
When I left the temple, it was already dawn, and it was rare to see a clear blue sky in winter, and a round of morning sun that emitted a soft halo.
"I heard that the plum blossoms in the imperial garden are blooming, and the master has not been there in the palace for so many days, the weather is good today, do you want to go and relax?" Xu Fuduo saw me silently looking up at the sky, and carefully proposed.
I thought about it for a while, thinking about the rumored beauty of the Imperial Garden, if I didn't go to see it, it would indeed be in vain to go this way, and then I should go down, and I didn't let Bei Xiaobi go, and slowly walked along the palace road in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
When I entered the Imperial Garden and walked through Tianyimen, I happened to meet the personal maid beside Nian's side, who hurriedly led the person dressed as a doctor to come quickly.
Thinking that when the Wulanala clan gathered everyone to discuss the matter that day, Nian's complexion was not very good, and now he saw that this servant was in such a hurry to lead the imperial doctor to see Nian's illness, and he didn't know how bad it was, since it was always bad to turn a blind eye, so he stepped forward to inquire.
The maid knew me, and knew that I had a good relationship with the Nian family, so she stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I happened to meet Concubine Yu, our master is sick again today, so I asked the imperial doctor to take a look." The slave knows that Niangniang's medical skills are good, and the master rarely mentions Niangniang on weekdays, can you also go with the slave to visit our master, even if it is to talk with her. ”
This girl said so, and she couldn't refuse casually, so she had to follow her to Yikun Palace.
The pattern of Yikun Palace is similar to that of Jingren Palace, but Nian alone lives in the huge palace, which is naturally incomparable with the lively Jingren Palace.
"What's wrong with the concubine's body, didn't Sheng Fuhui recuperate at that time, why was she tossed back to that sick appearance in just a few months?
The servant bit her lip, stopped talking, and walked for a while before responding: "How can we slaves not look forward to the good of our master, but there are some things...... The slave didn't dare to say it, so it was better to let the master tell the mother in person. ”
Seeing that this servant looked cramped, her little face, which had become ruddy because she was in a hurry, suddenly turned pale for some reason when she mentioned this.
I had thought before that it was related to Nian Qianyao, because Qian said that Nian's physical discomfort was in May after Nian Qianyao was appointed by Yinzhen to take over as the general of Fuyuan and the governor of the army stationed in Xining to command the counterinsurgency, since then, Nian's sleepless night, often wake up from dreams, and then don't think about food, there are signs of worrying about illness, so it stands to reason that it should be related to Nian Qianyao's mandate, but looking at the attitude of the maidservant, there seems to be something unspeakable.
I haven't seen Nian since I entered the Forbidden City until the time when the Wulanala clan convened all the concubines to discuss the matter, and I didn't care about what happened to Nian during this period, so I didn't know, and there seemed to be nothing going on in the palace, so I couldn't say anything to the outside world.
Seeing that this servant was embarrassed, I didn't continue to ask, but only kept all the questions in my heart, and left them to ask after I saw Nian's.
