67. Chaise

After lying in bed for three days, Chu Xue was finally able to get out of bed and walk around.

Although there were waves of thrills before her birth, fortunately, Cheng Zisong, the imperial doctor, took care of her and ensured that she gave birth to the child safely and smoothly. It is also because of this superb imperial doctor that she recovered very quickly after giving birth, and her body was not unwell, teasing her daughter every day, taking a walk in the dormitory, and the days passed very quickly.

Feeling that she had recovered well, she went to ask Song Chen to invite her mother into the palace, and Song Chen immediately made a holy decree, so on the tenth day of giving birth to her daughter, she finally saw her mother.

Early this morning, Yanling knew that Mrs. was coming, so she commanded the palace maids to tidy up the courtyard early, and Ruyue also specially made a few exquisite snacks, and Mrs. Chu first went to Funing Palace to meet the Queen Mother, and it didn't take long to come.

Chu Xue is still in confinement and can't go out of the palace gate, Ruyue Yanling's two maids personally went to greet Mrs. outside the palace gate, and when her mother entered the room, Chu Xue was silent, and her eyes were wet first.

"Mother." She bowed with red eyes. The mother dared to help her up, and now that her daughter was already the imperial concubine, she should not bow to them lightly.

Chu Xue insisted that after experiencing this production and getting along with her daughter in the past few days, she had a deeper understanding of the difficulty of being a mother, as long as her daughter was out of sight for a while, she was very worried, but her mother endured the pain of losing her daughter and raised her with her own hands.

The mother and daughter wiped away their tears, causing the onlookers to also have red eyes, and the mother was worried that her love fluctuations would affect her recovery, so she diverted the topic, looked at her carefully, and praised: "The complexion is good, we are all mothers, our Xue'er is still so beautiful, no worse than before." ”

She laughed out loud with tears in her eyes, and when her feelings calmed down a little, she remembered that she wanted her mother to see her daughter, and hurriedly ordered someone to pick up the child.

Because she had just slept and eaten, Xiao Le'er was very energetic, and looked intently at her grandmother who was holding her with big round eyes. Although he was born in just ten days, the little guy has made a lot of progress, not only has flesh on his body, but his movements are also more flexible, and he punches and kicks his legs at every turn.

Seeing that the grandparents and grandchildren were so warm, Chu Xue finally felt better in her heart, and let her mother enjoy her family like this, which was also her filial piety for her little cousin.

When Xiao Le'er was tired of playing and was hugged by the nurse, the mother and daughter were finally able to say intimate words.

After chatting about all the things at home, Chu Xue entrusted her mother with two important things, first, to find two trustworthy nurses for Xiao Le'er; Second, ask my father to find a way to check the medical records of Liao Zhong, the former government doctor, this thing is very important and can become a strong evidence for bringing down Xu Jinhe in the future.

Mother responded one by one.

Because Song Chen has come to have lunch these days, in order to save trouble, Mrs. Chu did not stay long, and rushed back to the house before noon, although she was reluctant, but she thought that her mother would enter the palace when the full moon was full, and she was a little relieved.

When Song Chen came over, he saw that the hall had been quiet, and there was no figure of Mrs. Chu, so he felt very strange and asked, "Didn't Mrs. Chu enter the palace today?" ”

The meal was already on the table, and she replied while serving him soup: "Mother is afraid of disturbing the concubine to rest, so she will go back first." ”

Song Chen felt a little regretful, "Oh, I originally wanted to keep Mrs. Chu in the palace for a few days, so that I could talk to you." ”

She knew that he was considerate of himself and smiled contentedly, and explained, "The concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness, although the concubine also wanted to, but if she left her mother in the palace, only her father would be left in the family, and the concubine couldn't bear it." ”

Song Chen remembered something and comforted: "Don't worry, your Chu Mansion will soon be lively." ”

Chu Xue didn't know why, looked at him with a puzzled eye, only to see him smile, and said: "Since the accident last year, the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin has been temporarily part-time by the household department, and there has been no suitable candidate, but I think it's pretty good to think of one person these days." ”

She didn't understand the previous dynasty, so she kept listening and didn't interject, but when he didn't say anything, she blinked and waited for his next words.

Seeing that she was dazed, he smiled and said the answer, "Your brother, Chu Jian." ”

She was quite surprised, she thought that her brother and Song Chen had only met on her father's birthday last year, but just one moment could make Song Chen think of transferring her brother back to Beijing?

However, the elder brother is diligent and has always been attentive in official affairs, so I think it should be because of his political achievements that attracted Song Chen's blue eyes.

Having figured it out, she smiled and nodded.

Seeing her flat reaction, Song Chen was a little surprised and asked, "Don't you ask me why I use him?" ”

Chu Xue replied truthfully: "The emperor is a Ming Jun, and he has his own way of employing people, I think it should be my brother who has done a good job, which makes the emperor cherish his talents." The concubine is a woman in the deep palace and does not understand the political affairs of the previous dynasty, but the concubine believes in the emperor and believes that her brother will not disappoint the emperor. ”

These words were very wise, not only expressing his intention not to interfere in politics, but also indirectly praising him and his brother, Song Chen was in a happy mood.

Chu Xue poured a glass of wine for him and said: "This is a green plum wine brewed by Ruyue, the wine is not strong, but it can relieve fatigue a little, and the concubine respects the emperor with a glass, which can be regarded as thanking my brother first." ”

took the wine in the beauty's hand and drank it all, the wine was not strong, but it was sweet and sour, delicious and appetizing, Song Chen was in a good mood, and then said: "Today's thanksgiving I have received first, but there will be grace in a few days, you have to think about it first, how to thank me." ”

After another sale, she turned her head to look at him again, only to see that he did not intend to let go this time.

Thinking about it secretly, she remembered it again, he said that he would give Le'er a title when he waited for the full moon, and now he should be referring to this.

But Song Chen was not only referring to the canonization of Xiao Le'er.

At the end of the morning of the second day, he summoned the two scholars of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites into the imperial study, explained only two simple things to the Ministry of Officials, and transferred the current Jeju Governor Chu Jian back to Beijing, appointed the post of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and added the post of Taishi Chu Lin of the Imperial Palace.

Although Chu Jian is a royal in-law, his political achievements in recent years have been really good, and he meets the conditions for transfer, as for Chu Lin, he has been sitting firmly in the imperial history for decades, impeaching many corrupt officials and corrupt officials for the imperial court, and he can indeed afford the gift of adding officials.

Song Chen confessed to the Ministry of Rites, and there were two of them, canonizing the young daughter Princess Song Le, and Jin Chuxue as the concubine.

The first thing is that there is no objection, the princess was born, and the full moon gave the title in line with the etiquette system of this dynasty, and Fang Jing bowed his head and responded.

But the second thing, as soon as Song Chen spoke, it caused the old pedant to be surprised.

Last time, Song Chen opened his mouth in a consultative tone, but he was taken aback, so this time he didn't plan to leave room for Fang Jing, he only said happily, "I want Concubine Jin Yi to be the concubine, you go down and start to prepare, and when their mother and daughter are full moon, they will be done together with the princess's canonization ceremony." ”

Fang Jing was stunned, he thought that he stopped Song Chen last time, and the reason had been made very clear, if the concubine wanted to be promoted to a concubine, in addition to the qualifications of her mother's family, she must at least give birth to a prince, although Song Chen had just crowned Chu Lin, but Chu Xue was only a princess, how can this be in line with the etiquette system?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's ......"

Fang Jing still wanted to move out of the etiquette method to stop him, but unexpectedly, he didn't succeed this time.

As soon as Fang Jing's words came out, Song Chen didn't look at him, only interrupted: "The harem is my harem, and the world is also my world, if you think that the etiquette is not in line, I order you to go down and change it." ”

Fang Jing's full of reasoning was completely choked by this sentence, and he couldn't say anything anymore.

Song Chen still didn't raise his head, but there was a sneer in his eyes that stared at the concerto, and said lightly: "There are no other matters for the time being, you can step back first!" ”

The palace people hung their heads and were silent, and the imperial study was so quiet that he could hear the needles falling, Fang Jing suddenly felt that his old body was powerless to resist this decisive king, and finally responded with interest, bowed down and retired.

~~

Five days later, Chu Xue learned the news from the mouth of the supervisor of Shangyi.

Seeing that the Shangyi Supervisor was going to cut a dress for her again, she thought that because of her different body size after giving birth, the Shangyi Supervisor wanted to make a more suitable one for her, but who expected that she would be surprised when she heard that it was to make the style of the concubine. But seeing her so surprised, the supervisor of Shangyi realized that she didn't know it, and hurriedly explained the instructions of the Ministry of Rites to her.

When Song Chen came over for dinner, she looked at Song Chen, who seemed to be fine, and seemed to inadvertently mention, "Today, someone from Shangyi Prison came and said that he wanted to cut a dress for his concubine." ”

Song Chen sighed and asked lightly, "You know everything?" ”

"Yes." She nodded, but she still seemed to be a little embarrassed, and lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine thinks that her qualifications are still shallow and it is difficult to assume the position of a concubine, so please think twice about this matter......

He stopped his chopsticks and raised his eyebrows to look at her for a while, but seeing that she seemed to be really embarrassed, he sighed and said seriously: "The harem is my harem, you are my woman, I think you can afford it, you can afford it, there is no need to talk about any qualifications." ”

She was silent for a moment before she said softly: "Concubine Xie Emperor Longen." ”

A crimson flushed on her white face, and he smiled and continued to hold his chopsticks, "Eat." ”

In fact, different from the words just now, when she first heard that she was going to be promoted to a concubine, she did have a moment of panic, but when the people in Shangyi Prison retreated, she also figured it out herself, Xu Jinhe repeatedly attacked herself, but she had no power to fight back, this qiē, isn't it just because she is too weak? Although she is the imperial concubine, Xu Jinhe is still the queen and is still above herself. And she already has a child, and she doesn't want to let her child live a life of humiliation and burden like herself, only if she is strong, the child and her mother's family can be strong, and her wings are full, so that she can have the ability to compete with Xu Jinhe and even the Xu family.

What's more, this is given to her by a man, as he said, he thinks she can afford it, and she can afford it.

For Fengyi Palace, the news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and it finally arrived.

As the queen, Xu Jinhe also got the news from the Shangyi Supervisor. At first hearing this, she was so shocked that she didn't react for a while.

Jin Chuxue is a concubine?

This woman didn't even give birth to a boy, she only accompanied you for two years, and just because of a daughter, she became a concubine?

It's not the same as etiquette at all!

Qiu Gui muttered: "Niangniang, I heard that the emperor didn't let the people from the Ministry of Rites speak, and directly issued the holy decree, and the Ministry of Rites has already begun to prepare, and there are ......."

"What else?" Xu Jinhe frowned and looked at Qiu Gui.

Qiu Gui lowered his head, "According to the news from outside the palace, the emperor also transferred Concubine Yi's brother back to Beijing to take up his post, and also raised his father's official position as the imperial historian. ”

"A good deal!" Xu Jinhe gritted his teeth and jumped out these four words.

Her mother, the deceased Mrs. Xu, was also a first-class fate, but it was her father Pei Guogong who exchanged half of his life for a horse. What has the Chu family done today? Isn't it just that he gave birth to a daughter and bewitched the Lord, and this is the ascension of the chicken and dog to heaven?

The gentleman is biased, and the world is unfair!

Empress Xu frowned tightly.

But no matter how much some people complain and resent, there is no joke, and what should come will come.

In order to let Chu Xue recuperate for a few more days, the full moon on the original 30th was postponed to the 40th, although he was stuffy in the palace for 40 days, but in Chu Xue's opinion, coaxing her daughter every day, waiting for the family reunion after the man returned late, the time of 40 days was as fast as flowing water.

Especially when she saw that her daughter weighed five pounds more than when she was born, she sincerely felt the magic of time, and the villain, who couldn't see enough every day, had grown so much unconsciously!

On the fifth day of the first month of June, Chu Xue's mother and daughter in Yufu Palace held a canonization ceremony.

It was early in the morning, and Song Chen came over, looking at Chu Xue and Xiao Le'er, who were already in good dresses, and felt warm in his heart.

Chu Xue didn't gain much weight during the whole pregnancy, plus Cheng Zisong's careful conditioning after giving birth, at this time, she actually couldn't see the bloated appearance of a first-time mother, her waist seemed to be slender as before, but her face had a gentle and mature look, and the gorgeous concubine dress on her body made her charming and charming, which was rare.

Xiao Le'er is even more painful, although it is only a month, she has already opened her mouth and smiled, her little face is rounded, just like a doll in a painting, a pair of moist big eyes flickering, and she is loved by everyone, and the Queen Mother loves her very much, and she looks forward to the nurse holding her to greet her every day.

The title proposed by the Ministry of Rites to Xiao Le'er is Princess Yongle, Chu Xue did not plan to give the title again, and directly added the word "expensive" between the words "Concubine Yi", which is for Concubine Yi.

For they felt that there was no other word to express the king's affection for this lady. This young lady is the person in the king's heart!

After the canonization edict was announced, the golden book and golden seal were given, and when Chu Xue stood up again after thanking her, she was already the position of the concubine.

That year, she was eighteen years old, became a mother-in-law, and became a concubine.
