Chapter 25: The Eve of the Rainstorm
When I got up in the morning, the weather outside the house was foggy, so I took a hot bath, drank a cup of ginseng tea by the way, and then set off towards the palace of the concubine.
The hoarfrost on the road has been cleaned up by the palace people, and now there are only some slightly damp ground left on the ground, and the feeling of walking on it is very feeling. The surrounding flowers and plants are covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the fresh and clean smell makes people can't help but crave this cool taste.
Knowing that he didn't have time to enjoy such a scenery today, he could only speed up his pace, and when he saw the concubine's bedroom, the little father-in-law at the door went to report.
"The concubine asks for peace to the concubine, the concubine sister is auspicious!"
As she spoke, the woman pinched the handkerchief and bowed. The maid behind him also saluted.
"This palace is naturally auspicious, but you came to this palace early in the morning, is there something wrong?" the concubine also asked with a smile.
"That is, Sister Guo must have frozen to death when she came here so early in the morning. ”
Saying that, Ruyue asked the grandmother next to her to make tea for her, and naturally pulled the saluting Sang Zi to the seat and sat down, the small fleshy little palm also warmed her palm, and the concubine glared at her angrily.
Mama brought over a cup of ginseng and jujube tea, she took a sip gently, and glanced at everyone behind the concubine, at this time, the concubine also knew that this matter was probably not trivial, and let people go down at the moment. Ruyue beside her was not playing treasure at this time, and found a chair to make it down at the moment.
"Yesterday, Hui Guiren came to the concubine and wanted the concubine to help her intercede in front of the concubine's sister. Speaking of this, she saw the concubine's face pause slightly, and then said: "November 13 is the birthday of the eldest prince. ”
Hearing this, the concubine's face was a little gloomy, and even her body was emitting cold air. Since she was in charge of this phoenix seal, she knew a lot of news from the front line, one letter after another, she naturally knew how fierce the battle situation was outside, and at this time, Hui Guiren wanted to let herself hold a birthday for her son, what idea did she have in her heart?
"Sister Guo, it's not November 13 yet, why did she let Sister Guo intercede with her sister? Could it be that she said that her sister would not agree?"
Ruyue saw her sister's bad face, and muttered a little displeased. Forgive her for not knowing what the problem is until now, but I just think that Hui Guiren should tell her sister about such a thing, after all, her sister is now in charge of the phoenix seal in the palace.
When everyone heard Ruyue's words, they couldn't help but lower their heads, they felt at this moment that it was really a headache to have such a simple master. Obviously, the concubine's whole body is cold, and this one just thinks that the concubine is just a little angry, is this really good?
"Give Hongu a bowl of ginseng soup and let her sit there and drink it slowly. ”
The concubine turned her head and looked at Ruyue coldly, throwing out a sentence.
The frightened Ruyue didn't dare to speak anymore, she was very aggrieved now, her sister actually began to scold herself, her eyes turned red, and the tears in her eyes began to flow slowly.
Seeing Ruyue's appearance, Sang Zi couldn't bear to come over and wipe the tears on her face for her, and couldn't help but be a little worried, if the concubine left one day, how could she, with her simple nature, survive in the palace?
"Ruyue, don't blame Sister Guifei for speaking heavily, the consequences of this matter are very strict, and even this piece of heaven will change. As she spoke, she pointed to the top of her head, and the expression on her face was as strict as she could.
Hearing her words, Ruyue's eyes suddenly widened, how could she not know that she had just said a word, why was she so strict? Although she was very unhappy that her sister scolded her, she also knew that this matter was very strict.
At this time, the grandmother next to her helped Ruyue to sit down on a chair, and brought her a bowl of ginseng soup, and let her drink it slowly, maybe she was really scared, but she opened her big eyes and looked at the two people in front of her without blinking, and the grandmother could only hunch over and feed her the soup one by one.
"Guo Guiren, you should know the severity of this matter. ”
The concubine looked at the woman in front of her in a complicated manner and said. She is in a mess now, the emperor is fighting outside and it is very dangerous, and now there is chaos in the palace, if one is not good, no one can bear the consequences.
"Today is the fifteenth, and the queen's sister will greet the queen mother of the two palaces. ”
She looked at the concubine lightly and said.
Hearing this, the concubine's eyes couldn't help but widen a little, she knew that this was not intimidation, it was precisely because she knew that this sentence was really sexual, that she was even more flustered. Now there are only two surviving princes in the palace, if the queen has any accidents, the remaining two princes are the roots of the entire Qing Dynasty.
"You're saying they're ready to go down to the Queen. A plain sentence, the concubine's heart was a little heavier.
"The emperor will be fine, their plan will not succeed. ”
She smiled and said an irrelevant word, and continued: "Sister Guifei now has the phoenix seal in her hands, if the queen and the child in her belly have any accidents, the emperor will inevitably be suspicious of Sister Guifei, and when the time comes, even if Sister Guifei doesn't do anything, she will become the target of public criticism." ”
Although this sentence was a little heartbroken, but the concubine was very happy to hear it, she knew that this was a real good word, maybe she would have thought about it in the past, except for the queen, but now she only hopes that the queen can live well, even if she has to look at her face in the future, she is willing to endure it.
Thinking of this, she looked at the woman in front of her with gratitude, she knew that if the woman in front of her didn't remind herself, then her life would definitely be difficult, and even if she didn't get it right, she would lose her life. It's not that she scares herself, she knows better than anyone else about these methods in the palace.
looked at her sister, she felt that her sister was too simple, if she was really suspicious by the emperor, her sister would definitely be bullied to death in the future.
Grateful words, the concubine didn't know what to say for a while, just kept smiling at Sang Zi, at this moment, she let go of her identity, just like an ordinary person to express her feelings.
"It's time for the morning meeting, Sister Guifei hurry up, don't forget, in this palace, only Sister Guifei can protect her without reservation. After speaking, her eyes looked at Ruyue, and then pinched the handkerchief and made a gift. At this time, the people behind also saluted.
The concubine's eyes were slightly dark, and she flashed a few times on everyone's bodies, and then she stepped on the flowerpot bottom shoes and left. The attendant in the back followed closely behind. They are all old grandmothers beside the concubine, so they naturally know what the master is going to face today, and they are more and more grateful to Guo Guiren in their hearts.
In their hearts, this Guo Guiren is simply the savior of their master, and the most important thing is that people don't covet anything, they just help their master, such a person, let alone in the palace, is not often found in ordinary families.
mentioned the concubine, as for the result, she didn't know, it depended on the will of God. She knows that her existence has changed something, and she has also made the world change, she doesn't know if this result is good or not, she can only do what she thinks she should do.
She understands the loneliness of the concubine, just like herself, and that helplessness is mixed with melancholy. She also feels sorry for Ruyue's simplicity, such a pure nature, how can she be willing to let such cuteness disappear in front of her eyes?
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and the people around her didn't dare to make a sound, even Ruyue began to worry about her sister at this time, her temperament was simple, but it was also because the concubine protected her too well.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too depressing, so she asked the grandmother next to her to bring two bowls of soup, which made everyone divert their attention, but the worry in everyone's eyes still did not dissipate.
