Chapter 58: Joy and Sorrow
Mrs. Tuesday took someone to arrest the red medicine, and the second master Qin was stunned in the study by himself, and he didn't recover for a long time. When I figured it out, I looked at the night outside in a daze, and felt that my heart was cold and thorough.
The matter of red medicine is like a thorn that is neither light nor heavy, pierced in the heart, unable to pull it out and unable to press it, and does not know when it will take root and sprout, blossom and bear fruit -- it is not yet known whether the fruit of this blossoming flower will be a discord between husband and wife or a discord between brothers.
There was a mess in the second room, but Mrs. Sun in Fushoutang received a letter from the palace, and the Queen Mother announced that Mrs. Sun would enter the palace the next day.
Sent away the messenger and went to the second room to accompany Mrs. Tuesday to catch people, and grandma Sun also returned to Fushoutang and silently accompanied Mrs. Tai.
"Xiulan, why did you say that the Queen Mother suddenly called me into the palace at this time?" Mrs. Sun drank a cup of tea, turned her head and asked Grandma Sun beside her.
Mama Sun was originally the son of the Sun family, and she has always been with Mrs. Tai, so she is very important.
"The Queen Mother and her wife have had a deep relationship since childhood, vaguely not yet out of the New Year, make a happy moment, your old sisters meet and talk about their hearts?"
Grandma Sun's words also revealed the strangeness of this time.
It is not a festival day, and during the New Year, she took the female dependents who had won the title to Cining Palace to worship the New Year's ceremony. If there is nothing to say, the Queen Mother will not let her enter the palace for no reason, but if there is anything, what is the big thing at the moment, will let her enter the palace?
Mrs. Sun always felt uneasy in her heart, so she didn't eat a few bites of dinner, but roughly ate a small pickle, drank a bowl of white porridge and rested.
I didn't sleep well all night.
The next day, I got up early to shower and change clothes, and put on makeup.
"The Queen Mother must have some news to reveal this time. We are all so old, every time we enter the palace, we have to enter the palace according to the grade, and the weather is still cold, so entering the palace once seems to be a blessing, but in fact it is a toss. The Queen Mother and I have had a very close relationship since childhood, and she doesn't want me to toss like this. Mrs. Sun tidied up the ties of the blue Tuanshou pattern horse-faced skirt, straightened the golden cicada and ruby-encrusted sideburns on her head, and helped Grandma Sun's hand into the carriage.
There was incense in Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager Sun sat on the high seat with a somewhat uneasy expression, and when she saw the ceremony, she went straight to the point and said: "The third prince is really a bit ridiculous. How can I speak to you......"
Mrs. Sun was puzzled, and before she could ask, she heard the Queen Mother say something that made her stunned: "The third prince should get married when he is old." The concubine and the queen both felt that the girl of the Shen family was well raised and worthy of being the princess, who would have thought that at the banquet of the Su family a few days ago, the third child didn't know how to fall in love with the four girls of the Qin family, and concealed from the queen and the concubine, and directly begged the emperor to ask the fourth girl of Qin to be the side concubine......"
When Mrs. Sun heard this, her throat tightened, and she held her breath, and coughed urgently.
"The emperor has always paid little attention to women's affairs, and he completely forgot about the three girls of the Qin family who will enter the palace next month...... The will of this marriage has been prepared, just wait for the queen to use the seal, and the internal affairs office will prepare the dowry, and then go to the two mansions to announce the decree!"
The Queen Mother told the ins and outs in one breath, and looked at Mrs. Sun with an uncertain expression.
The three girls of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion are about to enter the palace as the imperial concubine, and whoever thinks that the fourth girl will be favored by the prince, but she is the prince's side concubine. The girls of Yifu have entered the royal family by the wrong generation, which is not a nice thing to say!
"But the third girl and the fourth girl are of the same generation...... After all, there is something out of order. Mrs. Sun relieved herself, and then said slowly.
"The third child did a beautiful errand a while ago, and the emperor appreciated it very much, this time he only mentioned this one, and the emperor didn't think much about it. The Queen Mother pondered her tone and said, "Fortunately, the two girls are separated from each other, and they are side concubines...... After the three girls enter the palace next month, I am afraid that it will be done for a while after the three girls get married, and then the matter will fade. ”
Mrs. Sun knew in her heart.
No matter how bad the rules are, when I meet the heavenly family, the rules are not set by them? To put it mildly, Sui Hua entered the palace to be small, and Sui Fan was only a side concubine by the three princes, even if the future is good, it is not as big as the main room, and it is serious to count the seniority, and also see if Sui Hua can make a name in the palace.
Since the third prince personally begged the emperor, it can be seen that he is bound to win. Speaking of which, it is the name of a side concubine, why should the emperor break his son's heart for an unwarranted "rule".
Mrs. Sun spat out for a long time: "Thanks to the love of the third prince, this is the honor of the Hou Mansion." ”
Too back with a difficult color.
Such an absurd marriage is really a bit ridiculous for the Qin family.
Mrs. Sun was still uneasy in her heart. The distance between the Hou Mansion and the royal family has always been maintained, but now it is close step by step, not only one girl wants to enter the palace as a concubine, but another girl wants to enter the prince's mansion as the prince's side concubine.
Mrs. Sun felt that the charcoal fire in this Cining Palace was really burning, and the dress of the edict was really thick, and the sweat on her head oozed out little bit. didn't wait for the queen mother to leave her for dinner, and hurriedly said goodbye and returned home.
Before leaving, the Queen Mother said again: "The third child is happy with the fourth girl, I look at it coldly, I'm afraid I will ask for a grace and marry the side concubine first." ”
Mrs. Sun was in shape, bowed uprightly and withdrew from Cining Palace.
The weather in early spring was still cool, and as soon as the wind blew at the gate of the palace, a cool breeze followed the breath into the lungs. And the man came to his senses.
Harem, red walls and green tiles, gold-roofed palaces. The pedestal of the white marble is carved neatly and solemnly, and it is repaired step by step upwards, and the palace is enshrined high;
In their eyes, what is the small mansion? How can a few little women compare to the scepter in their hands?
Mrs. Sun sighed deeply, but the uneasiness and resentment in her expression dissipated silently in the palace walls.
After returning home, Mrs. Sun saw the Wang family, handed over the news from the palace, and said that the four girls were young: "Fortunately, she is a girl separated from Suihua, but she is just a side concubine, and it is not a taboo." ”
He also instructed her: "Good to give birth to a baby, you are not young, and you will take care of these things in three months." The years of affairs have made people go to the Lin family, and more or less they are done in the palace, and we don't have to work hard. ”
Wang was still stunned when she heard the news, and Mrs. Tai had already waved her hand to let her carry the soft sedan chair back to Jiamutang.
Aunt Lin, who was quietly recuperating in Cong Qingyuan, suddenly got the news, and was surprised, happy and annoyed. What a great honor it is to be glad that the three princes actually begged the emperor in person! I am glad that she finally has a good place to go; it is true that although she was given to the three princes, she is only a side concubine after all.
Aunt Lin was laughing all day long, staying for a while, frowning for a while, and happy for a while. It couldn't be more appropriate to describe it with a bitter smile and seven feelings!
