13. Holy grace is abundant
"Do you know who I am?" Concubine Xian asked with a faint smile.
Concubine Zhen's tone was slightly mocking, "Who in the palace doesn't know the name of Concubine Xian?" ”
Without the holy grace, he can still live quietly in the palace, no one praises him, and no one tramples on it, and he can be regarded as the first person in the harem.
Concubine Xian didn't mind, and said, "Yes, the surname of this palace is Zhou." The Zhou family's Zhou. ”
At that time, the Zhou family was also a big family, and like the Su family today, they were all two generations of descendants, and Jane was in the emperor's heart.
But now?
The highest official of the Zhou family's children is just a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.
Concubine Zhen didn't expect Concubine Xian to say this, so she just said, "Prosperity must decline." ”
Concubine Zhen said again, "Niangniang shouldn't remind the palace, it's the one from the Xianfu Palace who should be reminded." ”
"The Su family...... Concubine Xian sighed, "The Su family is smarter than the Zhou family back then." ”
"But what's the difference?"
"The Su family has never interfered in military power." Concubine Xian smiled, and a little bright color was added to her pale face, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Concubine Zhen looked at such a virtuous concubine, and in a trance she also realized that Concubine Xian was once a person who favored the six palaces and had a wealthy saint, but now?
Concubine Xian is an old man in the house, although Concubine Zhen also entered the mansion before the emperor ascended the throne, but in terms of qualifications, Concubine Xian can also be worthy of a sister.
To be honest, Concubine Xian is not very beautiful, she does not have the brilliance of Concubine Zhen, the gentleness of Su Zhixian of the Yuan Dynasty, and even the delicate and lovely concubine of Huigui.
can only be regarded as more than delicate, in front of Concubine Zhen, her face even looks a little bland, she is in her thirties, and there are faint fine lines between her eyebrows and eyes.
But it is such a woman, she is full of natural charm, and her every move is a special style, if she smiles, the summer flowers are not as brilliant as her.
"Yes, military power!" Concubine Zhen muttered, "Since ancient times, military power has been the most suspicious thing. ”
Now the court is basically divided into two worlds, one Su family and one Yuan family, and there are some small families in the middle.
The Su clan is a descendant clan, the head of civil officials, and a clan admired by all Qingliu officials.
And the Yuan family is the family that Emperor Mingjing pulled up with one hand, and it is a knife of Emperor Mingjing.
If the knife is not good, discard it.
As emperor, he had a myriad of good knives at his disposal.
The Zhou family back then, like the Su family, was the head of the generals, and was uprooted by Emperor Mingjing, and the heir he liked was the Yuan family.
However, military power is not good.
Because of the military power, the Yuan family became the head of today's generals from a small family in one fell swoop.
It is precisely because of the military power that the Yuan family also made Emperor Mingjing suspicious, after all, it was only the acquiescence of Emperor Mingjing, and it was impossible for the Yuan family to climb so high.
As an emperor, it is never possible to be completely at ease with a family that controls military power.
"You know, back then, I had a child, too." Concubine Xian held the tea bowl in her hand and gently said, "At that time, the emperor had already ascended the throne, and that child was only six or seven months old. ”
"The imperial doctor said that he was a little prince." Concubine Xian smiled, "You know, at that time, I was so happy. ”
"Before that, the emperor still doted on me very much, until the imperial doctor said that I was a prince in my belly......
Gradually, the emperor stopped coming to my Jianzhang Palace, and stayed with the Empress Yuan every day.
However, since it is for the sake of the concubine, the palace has already been psychologically prepared.
didn't pay attention to the emperor, just thought about the little prince in his belly.
Do you know, I used to keep making small clothes for children, bright yellow characters, enough for the emperor to wear until he was three or four years old. Concubine Xian said, comparing the length with her hand, "Na, it's probably this big." ”
Concubine Zhen could already anticipate the rest of the story, "What about later?" ”
"Later." Concubine Xian paused, "It wasn't until the main palace had a difficult birth that I realized that I was thinking too simply. ”
"I heard that Niangniang's child was not saved." Concubine Zhen said slowly, "Niangniang also hurt her body because of this. ”
Only listening to the sharp and piercing sound of the mahogany table, Concubine Xian realized that her nails had been broken, and a scratch was left on the mahogany table.
"Niangniang...... Concubine Xian's eldest palace maid Cuizhu was about to step forward, but saw Concubine Xian waving her hand, "It's okay." ”
"yes...... The children of this palace are gone......"
Concubine Xian's tone was light, and she couldn't hear her joy or anger, but it made Concubine Zhen's heart chill for no reason.
I heard Concubine Xian say again, "I heard from this palace that you once had a child?" Also a prince? Also...... No ......."
Concubine Zhen walked out of Jianzhang Palace in despair, only to feel that her legs were not strong, and the eyes of Concubine Xian kept coming to mind.
"Isn't it the Queen?" Concubine Zhen couldn't hear her voice in a trance.
"Oh, yes, it's the Queen...... Hehe. ”
Concubine Xian stared straight at her, and asked slowly but forcefully, "Is it the Queen?" ”
Time flies very fast, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the queen's stomach has been six months, the emperor has never said that the palace power will be handed over to the queen, and Su Zhiwan did not mention it, anyway, after the queen is born, the palace power will definitely return to the queen, after all, the queen mother has no intention of giving up the queen at present, so Su Zhiwan doesn't care, just take care of it, anyway, she doesn't do it herself.
However, what happened next made it difficult for her.
After the spring hunt, it is the queen mother's birthday.
In the past, it was all run by the queen, although Su Zhiwan was a concubine, but she had never touched these. It was really scrambling for a while at first.
The nail buried in the Chengqian Palace said that the queen was secretly laughing at her.
This Su Zhiwan was not happy.
Fortunately, the prince sent a few people over to solve the situation, otherwise she would really be a laughing stock.
This prince, strange to say, has been quite close to Su Zhiwan since the spring hunt.
The prince sometimes went out of the palace to walk around the imperial city, and he didn't forget to bring some strange gadgets to Su Zhiwan.
Everyone else said that the prince was because of Su Zhiwan's life-saving grace.
However, Su Zhiwan didn't think so.
Because those gadgets are things that are very much to her heart. Sometimes it's just a bunch of sugar gourds, a small-faced person, and a small flower in the wild.
It reminded her of someone, someone she didn't think much of.
In the past few days, it has been drizzling in the imperial city, and the magnolia outside the window has become much hazy.
"Why is the emperor here? It's still raining outside! Su Zhiwan took off his robe for Emperor Ming Jing, handed over ginger jujube brown sugar soup, and said, "Huang Shun didn't persuade him." ”
"Niangniang can overestimate the minions, the emperor is willing to come to the mother, how can the minions be persuaded?" Huang Shun stood up and said with a smile.
Su Zhiwan smiled, "This Huang Gonggong is getting better at talking." ”
Emperor Ming Jing waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down, drink ginger soup, warm up." ”
"Huh! Slave Xie Emperor, Xie Guifei Niangniang. ”
"What are you doing Xie Bengong? There is no ginger soup in this palace. Su Zhiwan said, "Serve the book, give Huang Gonggong a cup of ginger tea." ”
Emperor Ming Jing smiled and said to Su Zhiwan, "I have shorted your food?" Even this has to be saved? ”
"It's a qiē from Jane." Su Zhiwan said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Emperor Ming Jing couldn't cry or laugh.
This concubine, he has always been quite satisfied, but there are some small habits that have opened his eyes.
Maybe it's because of her previous life, Su Zhiwan has always been obsessed with eating. After becoming a concubine, she basically couldn't go hungry, so she set her sights on food.
There is a small kitchen in Xianfu Palace, and when Su Zhiwan was fine, she instructed the cook to study some novel food for her.
Not to mention, I really let the concubine get some new things out. No more, no less, it is only enough for Su Zhiwan to eat alone, it will not be wasted, and it will not let others taste a bite.
Only when she encounters something particularly delicious, Su Zhiwan is willing to share a little with Emperor Mingjing.
A few days ago, Emperor Ming Jing ordered all the cases in the harem to be simple, and the concubine's cases were naturally a few percent less.
I heard that Su Zhiwan had no energy all day.
Thinking of this, Emperor Ming Jing shook his head and smiled, "Don't be unhappy, it's okay for me to give you a hundred percent?" ”
You must know that the emperor's things are not comparable to the concubine.
Su Zhiwan raised a big smile, "What the emperor said is true?" ”
"You don't joke." Emperor Ming Jing smiled.
The side hall of Xianfu Palace.
"Your Excellency, the emperor is here." Ye Tong's personal maid Zipei said.
Ye Tong paused, put the military book in his hand on the table, and looked at the rain outside the window, "Are you going to the concubine Niangniang?" ”
“…… Be. ”
Ye Tong sighed, "That's it." ”
I picked up the book again and read it carefully.
Zi Pei felt that her little master didn't read a word, and she was uneasy.
Why is that?
Zi Pei couldn't figure it out, so she retreated and slowly closed the door.
With the grandmother sent by the prince, Su Zhiwan arranged these things, and slowly got started.
Jianzhang Palace.
"Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang sent someone to ask, the Queen Mother's birthday, can Niangniang go?" Cuizhu picked up Concubine Xian and asked.
"The spring hunt is over, right?" Concubine Xian asked an inexplicable word.
"It's long over." Cuizhu said, "I heard that the prince disappeared, and later he was found by the concubine." ”
Concubine Xian smiled and said leisurely, "No wonder it was the noble concubine who came to send someone to ask, in previous years, it was the birthday banquet hosted by the queen." ”
In previous years, the virtuous concubines were all sick.
Probably the Queen Mother also knew something, so she never said anything, and even sometimes comforted her.
"Cuizhu, go back to the concubine, say yes, the palace will definitely give a big gift to the queen mother."
"Yes, sissy."
Su Zhiwan smiled when she heard that Concubine Xian was going to attend, she was looking forward to this concubine's "generous gift"!
Concubine Xian, who has never gone out much, also stepped out of Jianzhang Palace, and this queen mother's birthday banquet ......
She knew that this virtuous concubine was not simple.
Just talking about the plot, if there was no virtuous concubine, Pei Yunruo would not have been able to overthrow Emperor Mingjing and let his young son who was a few years old ascend to the throne.
Concubine Xian has some strength in her hands......
It's quite eye-catching.
The red walls of Miyagi are still shiny, but I don't know how much dirt there is inside.
Looking at the bright light, I don't know how many secrets are buried in this heavy palace gate.
If you are lucky, the truth may be revealed, and if you are unlucky, you can only take it to the grave.
