Chapter 36: Concubine Qing
Concubine Jin was born in the palace Imperial Clothing Bureau, was just a good family, entered the Imperial Clothing Bureau since childhood, and later when the emperor was still a prince, when Prince Yide died of illness, she was sent to the emperor's palace when he was only Prince Bao to sew the prince's auspicious clothes for the emperor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At that time, the emperor was one of the only two remaining princes of the former emperor, and the other was the son of the harem concubine, the current Prince Li, because he lost his mother since he was a child, he was raised by the concubine at that time and the current queen mother, and his identity is naturally more valuable.
Naturally, he was canonized as the new prince.
At that time, the emperor was only in his early twenties, and his qualifications were not very good, and he never thought that such a good thing would fall on his head.
just measured the size of the emperor's body, and Concubine Jin at that time never thought that after Prince Bao ascended to the pole, she would remember her and call her to bed.
The women of the entire palace belong to the emperor.
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have even been people with a lower status than Concubine Jin who have become concubines.
So it's not surprising that Concubine Jin became a harem concubine as a commoner.
Concubine Jin started from the last dressing, then gave birth to a prince, and waited until King Qin was sent to Liangzhou, which took fifteen years.
Almost thirteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Concubine Jin, who is in her early forties, looks like all the unfavored but still pampered concubines in the palace, but she is no longer qualified to serve in bed, and she has lived against the Bodhisattva and the palace people.
She thought that she would live the rest of her days like this, going to the Buddhist hall early to recite scriptures, occasionally going to the queen mother to say goodbye, and deliberately avoiding the young concubines to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers when they met the emperor.
Seeing those flowers that are sunburned and bowing their heads, it is like seeing their own life.
Until the outbreak of the war, her peaceful days were over, and countless pieces of impeachment of her only son seemed to fall on the emperor's desk.
She didn't want to get involved in the battle of the harem, one is that she knows that her identity can't fight the queen, Concubine Chen, and Li Guifei, and the other is that she understands that the emperor will never change his decision-making in the court because of the harem's remarks.
She can only eat and recite the Buddha more devout every day, pray for Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, and bless her son with good luck and safety.
Concubine Qing and her are the best, it is difficult to have true feelings between people in this deep palace, but both of them are people who have no competition, and they have been together for more than ten or twenty years, and there is always some sisterhood.
Concubine Qing did not hesitate to risk offending the queen to teach King Zhong to say those words, and Concubine Jin was very grateful.
On this day, Concubine Qing came to visit the door, she was a few years younger than Concubine Jin, but because she was ignorant when she was young, she left two children behind, and she looked similar to Concubine Jin.
If it weren't for Concubine Jin's deliberate mention back then, whether this loyal king would be born or not, whether he could raise it or not, is another matter.
In the palace, there is only one hostess, the queen mother, if they want to be pampered, they can't have children, and if they have children, don't compete for favor.
Concubine Qing didn't understand back then, so she lost two children.
Just like the current Ming Concubine.
Concubine Ming, the niece of Prime Minister Xue Qian, and Princess Xue of Zhennan are cousins, who entered the palace at the age of fifteen and entered the palace for five years, not to mention giving birth to children, and never even getting pregnant, so she could be named a concubine without children.
When Concubine Qing came, Concubine Jin was picking up Buddha rice in the small Buddha hall.
After waiting for two teas, Concubine Jin came out.
was helped out by Aunt Hua and a palace maid, and she was very tired at first glance.
Concubine Qing stood up and went over to help her: "Look at how this is done, don't you come together in the morning and stay in the Buddha Hall!"
Aunt Hua is a little palace maid who followed Concubine Jin into the harem, and she survived from the palace maid to her aunt, and she is also familiar with Concubine Qing.
She felt sorry for her master, so she said to Concubine Qing: "Niangniang, please persuade our mother! Even if you are beaten with iron, you can't help tossing like this!"
Concubine Qing came to visit the door today, that is, I heard that Concubine Jin was together for several days to go to the Buddha Hall to pick up Buddha rice and read Buddhist scriptures, and a day also stood to copy ten volumes of scriptures, I heard that I wanted to kneel to copy, but was stopped by the palace maids, she knelt, everyone knelt with them, but this standing to copy the scriptures, it is also enough.
When Concubine Qing saw that her face was pale, she knew that Aunt Hua was out of line, so she begged her to come up.
She didn't say much, she just said: "As a mother, she is willing to do anything for her son, I understand, but sister, you also have to take care of your body."
Seeing that the war in the north is about to end, the King of Qin will definitely have to come back at that time, if you are not well, won't it worry him?"
Concubine Jin didn't drink a sip of tea in the morning, and she didn't have to care about her face in front of Concubine Qing, she drank the tea in one go, put down the empty tea bowl, and wiped the corners of her mouth: "I know you are all for my good, but if I don't do this, I will be a nightmare at night." ”
Naturally it's not a good dream, Concubine Jin doesn't even want to say it, she doesn't want to recall the scene in the dream at all, if she doesn't go to the Buddhist hall to chant the scriptures to ask for peace of mind, the dream will change the way the days will change, it is not a good omen.
Concubine Qing saw that she was stubborn, so she didn't persuade her, she was worried that her son wouldn't be able to sleep if something happened this night, she understood.
That is, he said: "King Zhong came to ask for peace yesterday, saying that the emperor reprimanded the crown prince, and that it was the courtiers who separated the father-son relationship between the emperor and the king of Qin, and it must be fine." ”
Concubine Jin's eyes suddenly shot out, she looked at Concubine Qing, and held Concubine Qing's hands with both hands: "Really?"
Concubine Qing held Concubine Jin's hand back, feeling that she had lost weight again, her hands were full of bones, and she was touching people.
"Of course it's true, you know that the kid Zhongwang is not good at telling lies, and he doesn't need to coax us. ”
Concubine Jin sat back in her seat: "That's good!"
Concubine Qing said what happened just now: "Then sister, you have to take care of your body, wait for King Qin to come back, and the mother and son will meet and talk about their family together." ”
Concubine Jin thought of her son who had been away for thirteen years, tears couldn't stop flowing, she was not used to others seeing her weak side, in the palace, tears were only useful in front of the emperor, but what made her sad was the emperor, and over time, she began to hate herself for shedding tears.
"That's natural, the emperor's heart is really ruthless, and he hasn't let him come back once for thirteen years......"
This is Concubine Jin's sadness, as soon as she talks about it, she can't stop her tears at all.
Concubine Qing glanced at Aunt Hua, and Aunt Hua went out with all the palace people.
Even the minions around Concubine Qing also left.
Only then did Concubine Qing dare to say: "Sister, be cautious." ”
Concubine Jin nodded, sat on the spot and sobbed, seeing that Concubine Qing was also sad. (To be continued.) )
