Chapter 42: Dragons Are Not Dragons, Wind is Not Phoenix (3)
The concubine paused and looked at her fixedly: "I also want to gamble once." I think, I'm glad that this time, I didn't make a mistake. ”
"Niangniang thinks too highly of me, on the one hand, she is the Ninety-Five Princess, and on the other hand, she is the ** concubine who is indifferent to the world, if it were you, which one would you choose?" Luan Ge raised her eyebrows and smiled, looking at her playfully, "Or, does Niangniang want to use these to win my sympathy?"
"Maybe ordinary people will choose him, but I don't think you are. Besides, I don't feel like I can do anything with the sympathy of others. The concubine laughed at herself, "If everything in this world can be achieved by winning sympathy, then there is no poor person I said so much, I just want to express my sincerity." ”
Luan Ge looked at her eyes fixedly, and the concubine didn't dodge, just looked at her straight like that, full of confidence and calmness.
Luan Ge suddenly thought of the quiet but smart girl in her previous life.
The emperor of Qi has countless beauties, which also makes him have dozens of heirs.
It has been a law since ancient times that scarcity is precious. Therefore, in front of the powerful prince of the maternal family, there are too many children in the palace of Qi who do not have a sense of zài.
She used to be, Xiaoyi was, and so did the person in front of her.
There is always an unwritten rule in the court, that is, the son is more expensive than the mother, or the mother is more expensive than the son.
Whether the prince is favored when he is young depends on the favored Cheng dù of the mother's concubine, and the favored Cheng dù of the mother's concubine, in addition to a small part of the long-sleeved good dance or the emperor's overnight favor, more is the maintenance of the family power behind him. There is always a direct connection to the front office.
As for the mother and son, not to mention, the princes and grandsons after growing up are good enough to be able to take on great responsibilities and become a powerful force above the court, so that even the mother family will be worth a lot of money.
Luan Ge herself was a child, although she was the eldest princess, Xiaoyi was also a son-in-law, but because the queen died early, the relationship between the emperor and the queen was not very close, coupled with the decline of the queen's mother family and the bullying of the concubines of the palaces, she and King Ming were not treated well since childhood.
But fortunately, the two of them are together, and they have a care, plus the proton of Yan Guo who met later, although their lives are not as fine as ordinary princes and princesses, rich and wealthy, but at least they are happy and free.
And the fourth princess in front of her, Qi Mingxiang, is also in a similar situation to Luan Ge.
Qi Mingxiang's mother is just a little constant, because she was favored by the emperor once, so she was born. Although it is also the same transparent storage zài, Luan Ge remembers this child very clearly.
One day, on a whim, Emperor Qi gathered all his heirs and wanted to conduct an assessment of them.
Emperor Qi asked them to find the most valuable and precious things they felt were the most valuable and precious within half a day and submit them.
At that time, many people were looking for their most valuable jade, gold beads, and even some people brought the most valuable rewards of their mothers, and even the most down-and-out princess took out a silver ingot of her own.
For a time, the pearl and jade treasures were full of dazzling eyes, and they were dazzled in the sun.
However, unlike these treasures, there are three.
One is the victorious general of the sixth prince, the son of Concubine Hui, restlessly lying on his stomach, squeaking in those jewels.
Needless to say, he was severely reprimanded by Emperor Qi for "losing his mind as a plaything and becoming a prince in vain", and even his mother, Concubine Hui, was also reprimanded for "having no way to teach his son".
One is the things presented by Luan Ge and Xiaoyi, and the other is the things of the four princesses.
Luan Ge's thing is a fish caught from the Taiye Pond, and it is also half-cooked, which means that the people take food as the sky. However, their explanation did not rise to the level of national righteousness, and the so-called "people" did not rise to the common people of the world.
First, because Luan Ge knows that sometimes it is not a good thing to be too brilliant, especially if there is not enough background and strength behind her, and second, she really does not want to expand this meaning to such a noble level, because in her opinion, her "people" refers to herself and Xiaoyi.
At that time, Emperor Qi tasted this half-baked fish on a whim, and when he frowned, he heard Luan Ge say: "Father, this is the most precious and cherished thing for me and the third prince, as the saying goes, "the people take food as the sky", this is the "heaven" that my third brother and I have been serving all these years, what does my father think? As she spoke, she winked at him.
Only then did Emperor Qi understand that the two children were complaining to him indirectly and embarrassing him in front of everyone. Emperor Qi's partiality is well known to everyone, but because of his changeable personality, no one dares to bring it up in front of him. If a minister was like this to him, he would have been assigned to a few more beheadings.
But Luan Ge put it forward like this, but it's a different matter.
is the so-called childish words, if he blames it, it seems to be calculating, and there is no measure of being a father and a king, even if this is a big truth that he doesn't like to hear.
Emperor Qi could only laugh dryly twice and said: "I just said that there are fewer and fewer fish in the Taiye Pond recently, and they are all for you to eat!
This anger doesn't matter, it actually caused the people on duty in the imperial dining room to suffer.
Since then, although Emperor Qi has still ignored the two children, at least the imperial dining room has never dared to snub them.
This was something she didn't expect. Because their relationship with Luo Tian was very good at that time, no matter how good Luo Tian was, no matter how bad Emperor Qi was, he would not be too harsh on the princes of other countries.
At the very least, there will be no shortage of food.
Actually, if you say that, Luan Ge is just very dissatisfied with Emperor Qi's style, so she wants to take advantage of this time to vent. And she was ready to be punished. After all, no matter how much she is the emperor's biological daughter, no matter how annoying she is, no matter how angry she is, at most she will be punished and scolded, at least she will not lose her head.
Who knew that after making such a fuss, he still made money in the end.
The items presented by the four princesses are also food, but they don't want to ask for some food to improve their lives like them. What she handed over to Emperor Qi was a small dish of salt.
Luan Ge still remembers what the little girl said at that time: "Returning to my father, as the so-called 'people take food as the sky', no matter whether they are poor or rich, if they want to live, they must eat, and if they want to eat, they must not have the salt of the first hundred flavors, just as the father is the son of heaven of all the people in the world, the husband of all the mothers, and the father of our brothers and sisters. It is the most precious thing that children think, and salt is the best choice. ”
When Emperor Qi heard this, he was very happy, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to drop a reward, but he heard the little girl continue: "Fortunately, my father is wrongly loved, and Xiang'er has to ask you for your guilt today, because this remark was not made by a child, but in fact, a few days ago, I accidentally heard Concubine Hui Niangniang teach the six princes, and it was only today that I thought of Yanba." The father should be rewarded, not the child, on the contrary, the child is willing to listen to the father's punishment. ”
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, including Luan Ge and Concubine Hui.
At first, Luan Ge was still worried about the simplicity of this fourth sister. The girl is smart and smart, but she doesn't know how to restrain her edge, she simply wants to shine with this, or when the jealous Concubine Hui is reprimanded, Luan Ge was still silently lamenting her simplicity in her heart, even if she was rewarded by Emperor Qi this time, and lived in the deep palace in the future, she was indispensable to the difficulties of Concubine Hui.
However, at this moment, she was deeply impressed by the intelligence of this fourth sister, and she could turn things around between words, such a person is suitable for surviving in the court, right?
Concubine Hui's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, but the next moment it was Shi Shiran who accepted it. No matter what kind of mind this girl has, she just wants to climb the high branches.
The final result was that both the four princesses of Concubine Hui were rewarded, and the punishment of the son of Concubine Hui for offering his victorious general was also forgotten by Emperor Qi, from the previous "godson is okay" to "virtuous and virtuous godson".
Concubine Hui's mother's family was the head of the household at that time, and she herself was also Emperor Qi's favorite concubine, the act of the day, the four princesses who were humble and courteous and did not take credit for their merits, and her mother's concubine, with the care of Concubine Hui, although it was not very noble, but at least there was a place, and the life of the mother and daughter was much better, and the eunuchs who often neglected them before were also a lot more obedient.
With such wisdom, Chu Luange, who has nothing to do with himself, also left a little thought.
In the days that followed, she slowly discovered that the fourth princess was not completely deliberately pleasing Concubine Hui, she was respectful before, but she was not flattering afterward. It wasn't until one time that Luan Ge happened to hear her talking to her grandmother who raised her, that she realized that what this sister did was nothing more than for her mother and to change the situation of being bullied a little.
So Luan Ge's good impression of her has also increased a lot, and after a few intersections, there is also a little bit of sisterhood.
It's a pity that it wasn't long before I was killed at that time.
Just had a good sister, she died tragically, and she married twice in her place, before she figured out the ins and outs of the matter, whoever she was would have to doubt this good sister, right?
The purpose of the heart and earth method is to expound the self-nature of all beings, that is, the heart is the Buddha, that is, the Buddha is the heart, the heart is not two, the epiphany is the Buddha, the original pure, the original no troubles, do not refuse to come, do not stay, do not be happy, do not be sad, why should the mother be so persistent?"
Luan Ge smiled slightly, and took a sip of the tea that was already cold in the cup, "If you are wise and foolish, isn't it good to live in peace?"
"The Buddha is compassionate, but since I am a human being in this world, how can I be free from the world? The concubine was still unwilling, and then said: "What has the girl been doing for the past three years? Although I have never believed in the chaos of the gods, I have to admit that the person in front of me is not the person in front of me, does the girl still want to continue to deceive?"
"Oh, what does Niang Niang know?" Luan Ge said strangely as she followed her.
"Three years ago, the rotting female corpse in the dry well of the cold palace, did the girl remember?"
"Dangchang!"
Luan Ge's hand holding the cup trembled, and he dropped the celadon tea cup to the ground.
