Chapter 217: The Years Change
Jiang Liyue saw her ask like this, thinking that Lian'er was originally her personal maid, and contacted the incident last night, and hurriedly answered: "Since she was ruined by the imperial concubine, she has not left the palace, and she has been miserable!" Xiao Jiu's hand froze, and he frowned slightly: "The palace has been idle for a while, but this imperial concubine has caused a lot of trouble, and looked at Wei Tong and Qi Qing: "The two sisters are the old people in the palace, and they should mention something about everything."
Wei Tong had contact with her, and felt that today was not like her, and knew that her relationship with Emperor Ying was not ordinary, so she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she didn't speak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But Qi Qing is different, she has been suppressed in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't like to come into contact with people, so she is inexplicably angry, quite Xiao Jiu said this, and she was not curious: "The virtuous queen is easy to say, although the two of us are still old, but they can't stand up to other people's higher status than us, and there is no virtuous queen to seal it personally, who dares to intervene easily?"
Xiao Jiu was not annoyed, but smiled faintly: "Concubine Qi is very right, today the palace will ask someone to assist the six palaces, this should have been given by Emperor Ying, but now that the situation is serious, let's take care of the harem by ourselves first, and Emperor Ying can feel at ease in the previous dynasty." ā
Jiang Liyue's eyes flashed with a flattering meaning and said: "The harem is dominated by the virtuous queen, so naturally what the virtuous queen says, the concubines will do what they do." If you want to say that this palace rule should really be managed, it's not that those people don't understand the rules of Beichi, and it's a bad thing!"
Xiao Jiu stared at her indifferently, and also pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "What Jiang Ronghua said is extremely true, this palace remembers that your aunt is the former Jiang Hou?" Jiang Liyue's heart tightened, naturally knowing that her aunt hated her wholeheartedly, if so, she naturally wouldn't like her aunt much, and if she knew her identity at this moment, I was afraid that her future would be ruined. Slightly nervous, he said: "My aunt has been in the palace, and she has not had much contact with the concubines, and there is such an aunt in the words, but she has only heard that she has not had time to have affection!"
One or two sentences will make the aunt who is full of plans for her far away, Xiao Jiu smiled slightly: "It's okay, there are such elders, and the rules in the palace are familiar with it, so let's do it, you and Concubine Qi will jointly assist in the six palaces, this palace is now weak, and there are heirs under the knees, so it is really unintentional!"
Jiang Liyue and Qi Qing were overjoyed in their hearts, and they knelt down and said, "The concubine is willing to share the worries of the virtuous queen!" "Okay, that's all for today, the palace is also going to rest, Concubine Wei, I heard that your piano skills are excellent, why don't you stay and play a song for the palace?"
Wei Tong seemed to have expected it, and said very naturally: "Yes, the concubine should be willing!" followed Xiao Jiu back to the inner room, thinking that he was going to speak, but he didn't want Xiao Jiu to really want to listen to the piano, and Wei Tong had to play patiently. After playing a song, I didn't say much.
Xiao Jiu smiled at this time: "I wanted to see how patient you were, but I didn't want to lose if I didn't want to." Wei Tong smiled faintly: "If you grind like me for a few years, you will be like this! I heard that you have a son, why do you think you are full of worries?"
Xiao Jiu sighed lightly: "You know that I have a son, but you don't know that I have been separated from him for many years, and I don't know that I originally had a son in my house, and now it is gone!" Wei Tong was very shocked, glared and said: "You mean, this time I went to Dongli except for an accident? No wonder you have always been forbearant but now you have to clean up the imperial concubine!"
"Perhaps, I am looking for you today, and you should know what it is?"
Wei Tong smiled lightly, put down the guqin and said: "I thought about it for a long time, but I still don't want to leave, although my father is old, he also has domestic servants to take care of, and I am comforted to hear that I am a concubine in the palace." If I go back at this moment, I will definitely not be able to make a big fanfare, he has always been old-fashioned, and he must speculate wildly, it is better to stay in the palace, and often exchange letters, and he will feel at ease. ā
"What about you? Are you willing to be lonely, or are you still unwilling in your heart?"
"Unwillingly, no, I don't have hope for him, over the years, no matter how strong the feelings, the grinding has faded. Just live in peace!"
Xiao Jiu smiled lightly: "In the deep palace, how can you calm your nerves and live your life, even if you don't want to cause trouble, naturally someone will not spare you." Wei Tong sneered: "Only those who are favored by Emperor Ying need to think, I have always been cared about, and no one wants to know." No one will trouble me!"
"Is it? What about Qi Qing? I think she is very vicious and domineering, haven't you been bullied all these years?" Xiao Jiu didn't hide it, Fang Cai felt that Qi Qing was not good, full of resentment, they had been together, it was impossible not to implicate her.
Wei Tong's face really changed, and he lowered his head and said: "It's all poor people, now we don't live in the same palace, and we want to be safe, but I don't know why Empress Xian asked her to assist in the sixth palace?"
"When people are idle for a long time, there will always be chaos. Now that I am a mother, I naturally have to plan more. If you don't want to go, you just have to take care of yourself in the future. Stand down!" Wei Tong hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Thank you Empress Xian for reminding me, the concubine must be remembered." ā
When she slowly went out, Xiao Jiu glanced at Runxi, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Say whatever you want to say quickly." "This time when she came back, Runxi couldn't figure out her thoughts, and she really didn't dare to do the same as before, but she didn't talk about rules and regulations when she talked to Wei Tong, and she was a little hesitant, but now she saw that she was lazy and asked again, so she simply stopped thinking nonsense and said: "Concubine Wei is not right, the slave maid heard that you are in Dongli, and the emperor has called her to the main hall to play several times!
Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "How can anyone compare to the position of the head of this continent? It's all delusional, let's just wait and see what happens, now as long as it doesn't hurt Zhiyuan, I don't want to pursue the rest too much! After all, he is the emperor, so he will not have a group of wives and concubines." ā
After this day, in addition to the daily regular morning reflection, Xiao Jiu did not have any extra actions, only accompanied Zhiyuan to read and play, and the palace was often full of laughter. Chu Yinghan didn't pay much attention to these changes in her when she heard about her changes, and gave her the privilege of being willful. If she has nothing to do, she will go to her palace to rest, and if she is busy with government affairs, she will also take Zhiyuan to explore.
But there is something lacking in it, as if the soul is missing, and the shadow of a Jiang Hou is portrayed in its original form. Chu Yinghan was worried in his heart, but he also found her pain of losing a child to comfort, not only did he not snub her, but instead sent a team of people to collect snacks and dishes for the virtuous queen.
Seeing that it was snowing again, the palace was busy opening the road, and the morning province was temporarily suspended. Xiao Jiu lay in front of the mirror and looked at it, the powder was heavy, the hair was not messy, although there were no wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, but the eyes were slightly yellow, she gently pulled off the heavy and shining golden hairpin on her head, and turned her hand to knock the bronze mirror down.
The years are unforgiving, and I sigh that the yellow flowers in the mirror are defeated. I'm afraid I'm going to get through this life........
