58. Dye autumn air
"You took what belonged to me first, and I just got it back." Xu Yunhua looked at me coldly, as if a needle prick had shot in his eyes.
"The women of this harem, apart from you who gave birth to seven or eight children, who else has a man and a woman? Did I take away your stuff more, or did you take away what everyone deserves? Xu Yunhua was aggressive, I didn't want to be patient anymore, walked to her bedside, and said in a cruel voice, "You took advantage of the fact that I gave birth to a princess and took the favor as the name, pushed our mother and daughter to the forefront, and made all the concubines regard me as an enemy, do you think they are on the same line with you?" If one day, these people know why they have no heirs, why they are in the deep palace, there is neither the emperor's favor nor the royal heirs, counting the white bricks and green tiles to die alone, do you think that at that time, I am the target of the public, or you? ”
Xu Yunhua's eyes turned into resentment, and he said after a long time, "Their own stomachs are not angry, what does it have to do with me?" ”
I grabbed the bedding on her chest, thinking of the pain I suffered with Yue'er during childbirth, and the little pity for Xu Yunhua was instantly replaced by hatred, "Does it have anything to do with you, you know in your own heart that the fall I fell with you before Princess Jing'an was born, and what hands and feet the nurse has in her diet in the past six months, no one knows better than the queen mother!" You have counted all the failures of your Xu family on my head, and you think about the husband who has shared the bed with you for 20 years, is it the kind of stupid gentleman who is like a fool? Do you think what you do is being hidden from everyone? People are doing what the sky is watching, there is no flawless thing in this world, as long as you do it, someone will know one day. ”
Xu Yunhua exhaled a few breaths quickly, and finally collapsed on the pillow, for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "What if I did it?" I thought that you were pregnant with a child, so I made such a big move, if you were a prince, then you would have it, instead of staging the drama of the concubine seizing the heir in the future, it would be better for me to strike first, and eliminate all the obstacles to my son's ascension to the throne, and it would never be possible to let all this that the emperor experienced happen again. ”
"You're unreasonable! In order to be just a possibility in many years, it is necessary to mutilate the little life now! Even if you are for your crown prince, now that the crescent moon has been born, she is just a princess, why can't you tolerate her?! I trembled with anger and pointed at Xu Yunhua and accused.
"After so many years, there are only two things I didn't expect, the first thing is that you are actually pregnant with the dragon species, and the second thing is that you gave birth to a daughter, and you are still pampered! If you rely on your heirs to gain favor, then I will admit it, but I can't see the hypocrisy of you and the emperor as confidants of each other! If you are in the Yanwang Mansion, you are just a concubine! A concubine with no background actually kicked her nose in the face and stepped on me, I ......" Xu Yunhua covered his chest and coughed red, "As the daughter of the Xu family, I must not be humiliated like this!" ”
I looked at Xu Yunhua, who had lost my mind, and shook my head, "You are simply unreasonable, your brother understands you and persuades you to stop, your husband takes pity on you and connivess at you several times, but you have intensified, and you do not take the concessions of others as a warning, and repeatedly repay virtue with grievances." Even now, you still don't repent, and one day you will regret it! ”
"Get out!! Get lost!!! Xu Yunhua grabbed a delicate gold-painted official kiln vase placed at the head of the bed and smashed it at me, I turned sideways and avoided the blow, the vase fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, as if Xu Yunhua's fragmented face, "You get out of me!" When I regain power, I want your mother and daughter to die well! ”
I quickly exited Kunning Palace, Xu Yunhua's vicious curse still lingered in my ears, and the pale face lingered in front of me like a ghost, until I returned to Lianyi Palace, I still hadn't recovered and was out of breath.
Bao'er came to me with the nurse holding the crescent moon and was taken aback, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?" ”
I shook my head, "Nothing. After thinking about it for a while, he still sent the nurse out and beckoned to Bao'er, "Come here, I have some facts that no one has said, and I want to discuss with you." ”
Seeing my solemn expression, Bao'er knew that it was a big deal, so she placed the crescent moon in the cradle beside her, and while shaking, she asked, "Is it the queen's mother's business?" ”
I nodded, and told her everything that happened in Kunning Palace, Bao'er frowned, and said after a long time, "Niangniang is hesitating, do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down the queen mother in one fell swoop?" ”
"I never thought of taking her away, let alone taking her down, I just wanted to be peaceful, but since I entered this palace, I haven't even gotten a single day of peace. If it had been before, I would have been able to endure it. But now, the crescent moon is only so big, the queen's curse, the oath she gambled, made my heart tremble, she hated me so madly, I think what she said today may not be a moment of anger and intimidation. ”
"Niangniang, you are right, the queen is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, although she is not good at words, but what she says can definitely be done." Bao'er also nodded and said, "Now that the queen mother has fallen with her mother's family, she is bound to add this resentment to you a thousand times and a hundred times, and her hatred for you will continue unabated, and it is impossible to admit defeat like this." ”
"The prince has been sealed for two years, his power is becoming more and more stable, the second prince Han Wang is even more powerful, it is almost possible to replace the prince, there are many henchmen, not to mention the other children of the queen, just these two, any of them really gain power, will never let their biological mother continue to be so humiliated, the recovery of the Xu family is just around the corner, and it is not impossible for the queen mother to turn over her hands for the clouds and rain in the harem. At that time, me and Crescent Moon, not to mention trying to be stable, I'm afraid that even a place will be rare. What the queen said, she was confident. "I looked at the sleeping crescent moon in the cradle, and I couldn't imagine what would happen to her when that day came.
"If the mother knows everything, why should she be restrained and look forward?"
"What do you think I should do?"
"The queen's children and family background are there, and the emperor can't abolish the queen, but as long as she is beaten into the cold palace from now on, and only has the name of a queen, she can't do anything to you and the princess." Bao'er's face also revealed a sense of hatred, "She is also beautiful enough, she has done too many bad things, it is inevitable to encounter ghosts, and there will always be a time when she stumbles." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, "You let me think about what to do, for a while, I can't come up with an idea, that's the queen after all." ”
The crescent moon cried, disturbing the nervous mood between me and Bao'er, Bao'er hurriedly bent down to pick her up, put her in her arms and coaxed, Xu knew that she would never have a child, Bao'er especially loved the crescent moon, and even did her best better than me.
I watched even Bao'er do everything to protect the crescent moon, and I couldn't help but feel a little touched in my heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally made a decision in my heart secretly.
In the blink of an eye, the weather cooled down again, and there were already red maples falling in the palace with the wind. Zhu Di was busy with the drought in Shaanxi for several days, and did not get close to the harem, this day finally took time to visit the crescent moon, saw that I was the only one sitting alone, and said strangely, "What about the crescent moon?" As long as you don't go out on weekdays, but you can't be separated from her for a moment, why are you sitting here alone? I remember saying the other day that she was teething. ”
"Yes, I also had two small front teeth all at once." I replied lightly.
"What, you're still not happy when it sprouts?" Zhu Di saw that I was sullen and a little suspicious, walked up to me, and when he saw that there was no one around, he gently hugged me, "Oh, I know, are you blaming me for not coming to see you for a long time?" Or do you blame me for not coming to see her in time for the crescent moon sprouts? ”
Zhu Di whispered softly in my ear, but I was pushed away impatiently, "Don't make trouble, I'm annoyed." ”
Zhu Di had never seen me so soulless, and he was a little surprised, but he still smiled kindly, "It's all my fault, this is really an eventful autumn, the things of the previous dynasty have been saved together, and when this time is over, I will accompany you and the crescent moon and take you to the outskirts of the city to hunt, okay?" Since we entered this palace, we haven't done anything satisfying, take you out for a walk, maybe you will be happier. ”
I forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I have something on my mind, I just collided a little, you won't blame me, right?" ”
Zhu Di saw that I was no longer choking as if I had eaten gunpowder, so he hugged me again, "Husband and wife get along, how can everything go well, you have something that doesn't go well, I can't share it for you, it's me who is not good, how dare I blame you?" Tell me, what is it that worries you like this? ”
I seemed to laugh but not laugh, and I stopped talking, "There are some things, it's better not to tell your own man." You just said you would take me out hunting, but really, you didn't coax me, did you? ”
Zhu Di straightened up, "Isn't it worth trusting me in your heart now?" A gentleman is quick to say a word, and he deceives you a little woman, what good do I have? ”
I turned my sorrow into joy and stretched out a little thumb, "Since you have spoken, I naturally believe that you are not lying to me, but we must also make an oath, lest you prevaricate me with the busyness of state affairs at that time, and if I complain at that time, it will seem that I do not know the general situation, and if you do not complain, it is inevitable that you will feel deceived again." Come on, just pull a hook. ”
Zhu Di was speechless, shook his head hatefully, and saw that I insisted, so he had to stretch out his little finger as well, "Look at your little bit of interest." ”
Just as his fingers touched my hand, I quickly retracted it again, "Hey, I was happy for a while, but I forgot about it, so forget it." You are busy with your state affairs, and I am not idle, where can I run around like this. ”
Zhu Diqi said, "Huh? The king of my country can still steal half a day of leisure, accompany the concubine, you are a concubine, dare to be busier than me? ”
I put on a bitter face again, frowned and turned away, and said helplessly, "You are busy, and there are still ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to share your worries, and the Ming Dynasty can't move the mountains because you are worried about one day, and the sea floods the city, so I am different." ”
Zhu Di looked at me with interest, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Tell me, what big reason do you have to shock me." ”
My eyes reddened, "Didn't you ask where the crescent moon was as soon as you entered the door?" From summer to autumn, warm and cold, the child was weak in the mother's body, and was born prematurely, and now the body is particularly worse than the child next to him, no, he is sick again. ”
Zhu Di was taken aback, "Where is it, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
"You yourself say that you are very busy, but the child is sick, and the harem is full of people who say that I rely on the newborn princess to occupy your time and take away your favor, if I go to sue you because of the crescent moon as soon as I get sick, what will I become?"
"What are you doing with those stupid people? Where is the crescent moon? Let me see. Zhu Di's eyebrows were full of anxiety, and at this time, he only cared about Yue'er's condition, and all the words he just said had already run away from the clouds.
I had to take him to the side, Bao'er Zhu'er was guarding the side of the crescent moon, Zhu Di reached out to the crescent moon's forehead, and his face was surprised, "Why is it so hot!" The princess is sick like this, how can you hide it from me? ”
Bao'er said aggrievedly, "The emperor doesn't blame Niangniang, Niangniang has been taking care of the princess these days, we all said that we want to enlighten the emperor, but Niangniang said that the emperor will definitely come to Lianyi Palace as long as he has free time on weekdays, and he hasn't come for a few days, he must be so busy that he can't leave, so go and tell the emperor at this time, and only increase the emperor's troubles." ”
Zhu Di sighed angrily, but he couldn't say anything, he could only glare at me, and was about to bend down to hug the crescent moon, but I stopped him, "She is very empty now, don't move her." The doctor said that it was just that she was infected with the solar terms, and she would be fine after a few days of starvation. We've got us here, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
"Seems to have lost some weight, has the princess been eating well lately?" Zhu Di crouched on the side of the cradle and said while holding the crescent moon's little hand.
Bao'er and Zhu'er glanced at each other, and stopped talking, Zhu Di became more and more surprised when he saw them like this, and looked at me suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Why are the two girls here watching the princess and the nurse? ”
I said coldly, "The milk of the nurse is not good, I let her wean, and every day I let people send fresh milk to boil in my own kitchen in Lianyi Palace and then use it to feed the crescent moon." ”
Zhu Di was so smart, his face changed instantly, but because Bao'er Zhu'er was there, he didn't speak, just walked out slowly, and I walked out with him. It wasn't until there was no one left that Zhu Di asked, "Why is there still a problem with the milk of the nurse?" Didn't I tell you to stop letting the nurse eat the food sent from the Queen's Palace? ”<
