Chapter 62: Amma
The poplar forest fell silent, and after a few more moments, two figures appeared. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Fourth brother, is that the Niu Cobalt Lu Yingqi you met?" one of them spoke.
"Well, an interesting little girl. "Obviously, the other one is the fourth elder brother.
"Alas, when Ming Yue said it, I missed my mother a little. "The one who just opened his mouth turned out to be the thirteenth elder brother.
"By the way, this year's draft, does the fourth brother have a favorite?" The thirteenth elder brother remembered the other woman he had just seen. "The woman just now looked a little weak, but she was able to stick to her thoughts, and it was okay. ”
"No, it's up to the emperor's mother's arrangement. The fourth elder brother was indifferent.
"It's you, I guess I'm going to refer to the marriage concubine Fujin this time, do you have any ideas? Are you interested in the one just now? It seems to be a distant relative of Qi girl, maybe his official position is not good. The fourth elder brother suddenly remembered.
"No, no, I'm not interested. I just think of you, I don't really like this weak type. And if you want to get married, Huang Ama will decide it. "Brother Thirteen didn't expect this. Hurriedly replied.
"I'll keep an eye out for that, too. The fourth elder brother didn't seem to see his brother's embarrassment, but just said lightly.
"Oops, oops, let's go, let's go. "The thirteenth elder brother hurriedly went out, and he didn't care if his brother was still there. It made the corners of the eyebrows of the fourth elder brother, who had always been cold, bent.
Ying Qi and the three of them stepped on the hour and returned to the banquet. Soon the pavilion was over, and everyone had dinner again, and then they took their leave. Tonight is the night when Concubine De dominates the emperor.
Xiyun also made an appointment with Yingqi, and if she had time, she would hand her flower stickers. That is, to ask Yingqi to go to her house to play.
Ming Yue returned to the palace, and Baozhu also returned to the mansion with the fourth elder brother.
Only Ying Qi and Bao Bai returned to the side hall with their ancestors.
"Sister Qi, come. "There are so many things in one day today, especially Yingqi has made a big splash again, and the ancestor will definitely ask.
"Ancestor. You've worked hard today. Ying Qi stepped forward with a shy face, knelt beside the old lady's chair, and beat her legs while taking advantage of the situation.
"Good boy, you did a great job today. The old lady smiled softly and touched her little head.
"You won't blame me for being too flamboyant. Ying Qi raised her head, feeling that the old lady was a little surprised when she suddenly said this.
"You are the Duke's lady-in-law, and you should have been noble and elegant. Now that you can win the favor of Your Majesty in one fell swoop, this will become your greatest reliance. The better your Majesty treats you, the more you like you, and your position, whether in the circle of nobility or in your ducal palace, will be high and unbreakable. So it doesn't matter if you're flamboyant or low-key, as long as Your Majesty likes it. The old lady spoke earnestly to her. "I used to worry that you would be bullied when you went back to the Duke's Palace. It seems that it will not be possible now, and I am much more relieved. The old lady obviously said that the red-clothed ** even hid something from her, but she didn't seem to care so much, and she wanted to come to Concubine De to talk to her, after all, it was such a big thing.
"Thank you, Ancestor. Ying Qi was so moved that she buried her face in the palm of the ancestor's hand. Of course, her heart is much calmer. Relying on no one is as good as yourself. But this world is a patriarchal world, and I still have a lot to study.
"As for you, Amma, I told you before, and now that you have this grace from Your Majesty, you must know how to be moderately noble and dignified in front of him, and show the upbringing temperament of your concubine. He's bound to hold you in the palm of his hand. When you return to the house, you must familiarize yourself with the personnel of the house as soon as possible, and then strive to take over the right to be in charge. In the past few years, the Duke's Mansion has always been Zhang Huashang in charge, just a concubine, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall. And if she is still in charge, it will affect your reputation outside. Do you understand?" said the old lady, who was a little stern.
"Yes, ancestor, don't worry, at the end of this year at the most, I will support the Duke's family. Ying Qi smiled faintly, this is a trivial matter for herself.
"It's good if you're sure. If there is anything that can't be solved, you still have a mother to rely on. That is, the entire Wuya family will be Yingqi's dependence.
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Ying Qi threw herself into the old lady's arms.
"Alright, alright, you go and rest. A few sons are here today.,Your aunt and I have been nearby to observe.,We have to discuss your cousin's marriage again.,Decide as soon as possible to tell the mother by the way.。。 The old lady smiled and patted her on the head.
"Okay, Ancestor, then I'll rest. You and your aunt should also take a break. Big sister, I'm going to sleep first. Ying Qi got up and greeted everyone. also winked at Bao Bai, and Bao Bai's face turned red.
"You kid, go, go. The eldest lady said with a smile. Ying Qi returned to her residence.
The next day, after His Majesty's morning court, the old lady, the eldest lady and Wuya Baobai all said goodbye together, leaving only Yingqi behind, after all, Concubine De had already said that Ah Ling'a would pick up Yingqi three days later. So Ying Qi stayed in the side hall for another day. After the old lady went back, she quickly sent Xueyun and Lixia and a few little maids over, but the maids could only find a place to wait outside the palace.
On the third day, morning pilgrimage. As soon as he finished getting off the court, Niu Colu Alinga was chatting with the ministers around him, when he saw the big eunuch Liang Jiugong coming towards him, and the little eunuch next to him was still waving at him.
"Lord Alinga!" Father-in-law Liang slowly approached as if his legs were a little inconvenient.
"Father-in-law Liang!" Ah Ling hurriedly returned the salute.
"I heard that the adults are going to Concubine De's palace, and it just so happens that the Sprinkle family is ordered to send the pearl flowers that Goryeo paid tribute to the palace maidens today, do you think you can help me bring Concubine De Niangniang by the way. My old leg was accidentally twisted just now. ”
"Oh, Grandpa Liang, it's my pleasure. It doesn't matter if you have this leg, can you go to the Tai Hospital to have a look?" Ah Ling'a hurriedly agreed, and took the plate in the little eunuch's hand by the way.
"It's okay, it's okay, it should be a small sprain, I don't have to guarantee the mother's side first. When I see you, I am relieved. I'll just go look at the legs first. Father-in-law Liang thanked.
"Okay, it's no problem to leave it to me. Slow down, I have to thank you. They knew each other and separated.
Ah Ling'a doesn't know if this is Kangxi's signal, but as the most favored eunuch, even if it is Liang Jiugong's own thoughts, then it can show that Yingqi is now in Kangxi's eyes. Liang Jiugong's meaning is probably also to imply himself, don't snub Ying Qi.
Ah Ling'a thought as he quickened his pace and walked towards the inner palace.
"Meet Niangniang!" Ah Ling'a is Concubine De's brother-in-law, so Concubine De directly met him in the side hall. Ying Qi sat under Concubine De.
"Excuse me. Come, this is your daughter, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Concubine De's tone was flat, but not forgiving.
"The slave went to visit every once in a while, but because the little girl was sick, he didn't take a closer look. Who knew that such a big thing would happen, and the people at the bottom would really damn it, and they would even be deceived and concealed, and they had already been dealt with heavily by the minions. Alinga knelt down in fear.
"Well, not like that. Just go back and treat her well. Qi Mei'er has suffered a lot outside. "Concubine De naturally knows the intrigue and bloody wind in the courts of various nobles. It's useless to talk too much about these things.
"The minion obeys!" Arlinga got up.
"Come on, Qi girl, let me see, it's all so big. Ah Ling'a showed a kind expression and beckoned to Ying Qi.
"I've seen Amma!" Ying Qi walked up to Ah Linga and saluted.
Alinga was wearing a formal official uniform, a typical middle-aged man, and the wide official uniform seemed to wrap around his stomach. The slightly chubby face, now the face is full of kindness, the corners of the eyes are a little puffy, I heard that he is a man who loves beauty, and his body is estimated to be relatively weak. Ying Qi was even more contemptuous in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face, but showed her licking feelings.
"Good, what a good boy. You don't blame Amma, do you?" Alinga looked at the Nine Dragons Whip on Ying Qi's arm, which was now used as a bracelet by Ying Qi, and felt a little awe-inspiring in her heart.
"How so. It was her daughter's own poor health that happened to her in Beizhuang to recuperate, how could her daughter blame Amma. Ying Qi said lightly. "My daughter was really happy to see Amma. Amma won't dislike her daughter, right? Ying Qi showed a somewhat sad expression.
"No, no. You are the heart and soul of me and your mother, how can I dislike you. If it weren't for your illness, how could it have caused you to be outcast? It's all Amma's, it's not. Amma has disposed of all the house slaves and sold them. When you go back to the house, you are the eldest lady, and whoever dares to be disrespectful to you, Ama will beat him. Alling hurriedly said. Just kidding, now this daughter has to be coaxed. Concubine De herself has to give face, and the most important thing is that she has to figure out exactly what His Majesty's intentions are.
"Thank you Amma. Being able to fulfill her filial piety by Amma's side is her daughter's greatest wish. The other daughters didn't ask for anything. Ying Qi hurriedly smiled happily.
"What a good boy. Alinga smiled, it seems that this daughter is still very well-behaved.
"Niangniang, this is the Goryeo pearl flower that Father-in-law Liang asked me to bring. Alinga took out the beads.
"Well, I'm sorry for you. Concubine De waved her hand, and Xi'er stepped forward to take it.
"No trouble, no trouble. It's just a matter of effort. Then, Niangniang, I'll take Ying Qi back first. Alinga said goodbye to Concubine De.
"Go ahead. By the way, these are the grandmothers and maids I chose for the Qi girl, go back to the house and let the grandmother teach her well, and the maids are also my habitual use, so as to serve the Qi girl. Qi girl has a big girl herself, and my grandmother sent a big girl, and my maid has pearls and jade as big girls, and amber and coral as second-class girls. Let's deduct the example from me. Concubine De beckoned, and Xi'er brought in two grandmothers and four palace maids.
"How dare you let the mother break the bank. Niangniang's reward is Niangniang's heart, and the slave and Qi Mei'er don't dare to ignore the rules like this. Alinga hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"Okay, you can take her home first. When Qi Meier thinks of me, you can hand over the sign to the palace at any time. Concubine De said.
"Wow!" said Alinga.
"Grandma Huang, then I'll go back with Ama first. When I'm settled, I'll come to the palace to see you in a few days, okay?"
"Well, you can always ask Pearl to hand me the sign. Go, don't be afraid, whatever you do, there is your Amma. Concubine De smiled, the underlying meaning is that there is still my Concubine De behind.
Alinga hurriedly flicked his sleeves, "I'm here, don't worry, mother." ”
After Ying Qi saluted Concubine De, she left with Ah Ling'a. The two grandmothers and the four palace maids also followed her out of the palace.
