Chapter 352: War Drums
"Girl, here comes tea." The palace maid carried the pot in one hand and lifted the curtain in the other hand to enter the house.
Nian sat in front of the dresser under the window, looking out the window with his cheeks propped up.
There are six of them living in the east and west side halls of the Xianfu Palace, which is already quite a good place. I heard that the Gao family lived in front and lived with a few nobles, and suffered a lot of grievances.
This small room can't even cover half of her home, and she can't even put a big screen.
Pick incense knew that the young girl thought it was dark in the house, and she couldn't light the lights during the day, otherwise the grandmother would say something, so she loved to sit under the window and say bright. But what should I do if the wind blows so much every day?
She was not persuaded well, so she poured tea and handed it over.
The hot water was now asked for outside, and the tea was brought from home by Nian's. I only brought two boxes with me when I entered the palace, and all of them were opened and checked. This tea was originally said not to be brought, but seeing that the eunuch wanted to take it away, she quickly took out a purse and begged for accommodation before she could bring it in.
Smelling the familiar aroma of tea, she can feel better.
Everything in this palace was so different from what she thought. Before she got on the mule cart, she was still thinking about her grandmother's words, as long as she could be favored, the Nian family might be as beautiful as Tong Jia's family!
But it went smoothly all the way in, but it was in Zuihou......
I heard that the queen had asked for a seal for them, and she also got the hairpin and clothes from the Changchun Palace. But two days later, someone came and told them to put all those things away and not to wear them out.
Mama taught her that anything can happen in the palace. If something like this happens, you must not inquire, you can only watch it slowly.
'It's a human being or a ghost, and it will always be revealed'
She remembered Mama's words, and heard that the palace maid of Changchun Palace seemed to want to lead her to ask what was going on, but she just didn't ask, and let Haode send her out.
But then she heard about it. Sure enough, just like Mama said, there is no need to inquire about these things, and there is nothing to hide in the palace.
I heard that it was the queen mother who handed them the fold to the palace, and the concubine happened to be beside her, so she said that they had just entered the palace without much merit, and it was inappropriate to seal it so high at the beginning. Long live changed his mind, probably a non-seal, afraid that the queen would not look good, so he only picked the Su seal and agreed, and stayed with the queen.
Nian only dared to believe half of these rumors.
She didn't believe that anyone in the palace could really find out what the Lord of Banzai said to the concubine. However, it is probably a little true, it is indeed when the concubine was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Long Live let people send the excerpt back to Changchun Palace. Later, some people saw the concubine coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Is it really a concubine?
Nian has never seen a concubine. At that time, everyone went to Changchun Palace, and then went to Yongshou Palace to kowtow to meet them, and they all hung their heads when they came out and went in, she didn't see anything, and she didn't even hear the voice of the concubine.
The only impression is the peach blossom screen placed in the concubine's house, I heard that it is the imperial pen.
She only dared to glance at it hastily, only to feel that the peach blossoms were charming, as if blooming on the screen.
When she was at home, Mama mentioned to her the people in the palace. Mama warned her that when she first entered the palace, she was most taboo to compete with others for favor.
"When a woman is jealous, she is the most hateful, you just have to be gentle and gentle, even if the Lord Banzai goes to see the concubine in front of you, you have to be happy, you have to be happy, you want to make Banzai think of you, I think you are smiling from beginning to end, and you don't look bad at all."
Nian's is afraid of the concubine's favor, although the family has always said that the concubine is old and has given birth to five children, and sooner or later she will fall out of favor. Mama also said the same, let her not be afraid of the concubine, when she entered the palace, she was waiting for a long live woman, except for the queen, everyone was the same. The concubine used to be just a little gege.
"There's nothing to be afraid of the concubine, she's not as good as the girl at the beginning, in terms of family background, in terms of character, nothing can compare to the girl, the girl just rest assured."
But she was still scared, and she couldn't sleep at night.
Mama couldn't help her, so she gave her an idea.
This grandmother was specially invited for her by the family, saying that she had served in the elder brother's house, and had seen Banzai, the queen and the concubine in the early years.
Mama said: "Back then, the queen was too solid." The concubine is cunning, the queen is upright, she doesn't like to play tricks, the concubine comes with the queen in the opposite direction, this comes and goes, long live the lord will see the concubine in the eyes. At that time, Concubine Ke and Concubine Ning were there, they were all like queens, too regular, and they turned out to be like queens, and they were compared to the concubines. ”
Nian's listened attentively.
Mama also told her that there were also nobles Wang and Niu Colu who had been served in the Internal Affairs Office, and at that time, they thought that the concubine was so lively and liked it, so she taught them to follow the example of the concubine.
Nian Shi hurriedly asked: "What about later?" ”
Mama smiled and spread her hands: "Girl, you think, there are concubines and pearls in front of you, if those two can really become them, will they still be just nobles now?" ”
Nian Shi was thoughtful, and Mama sighed: "It's also that we want to be different, I always want to learn from the concubine to be favored, but I didn't think about it, the concubine can be favored at that time, that's because Banzai has never seen her like that." She is good-looking, smart, and she has never met in Banzai, fresh, shouldn't she be favored? ”
Nian suddenly realized: "Also, Long Live already has a concubine like this around him, so naturally he can't look down on anything else." ”
Mama said, "Yes." ”
She said to Nian, "After the girl goes in, don't worry. Let's take a look first, let's see the road clearly before moving forward, we can't go wrong. I've been out of the palace for a few years, and the situation in the palace is not very clear, the girl is smart, after going in, see more and think more, the more cautious the better. ”
Nian now thinks of Mama's words, if the concubine has always had this temper and has not changed for decades, it would be too fake, it can be seen that she is really cunning. On the other side, the queen must have understood at this time, she has been pressed by the concubine for so many years, and sure enough, she can't stand up now, and the rules can't be up.
That's why I want to provoke their group of newcomers to fight with the concubine. She sits well and reaps fishermen.
Thinking about it before, in Chuxiu Palace, it was also the queen who asked a lot. If you want to give them a place, it also came out after Changchun Palace gave them jewelry and clothes, and then they were in the soup, so they said that they were the concubines.
In fact, before coming in, Mama and her family told her, saying that her position might not be good at the beginning.
Mama is talking about being in the palace of the first emperor, and there are all those that have not been sealed for more than ten years. "Most of them have given birth to several children and have no news. Like Emperor Min's concubine who has gone, she has always been a concubine in the palace before, but she gave birth to two princesses, Wen Ke and Dun Ke and Prince Yi. ”
There is also a concubine who lives in Yanxi Palace, who has always been a concubine in her early years, and was only respected as a concubine after she ascended the throne.
But Mama also told her that the position is all false: "It's true to have a pet." ”
Nian remembered them all in his heart.
Xiang Xiang watched the young girl sit under the window all afternoon, and did not leave from the window until the light was lit in the evening. She hurriedly went over and closed the window, and persuaded, "How can it be good for a girl to sit like this, and catch a cold?" ”
Nian's is very polite to pick incense, after all, the palace maid is different from the eunuch, and there is only this personal palace maid by her side, so she smiled and said: "Good incense, don't scold me, I know it's wrong?" ”
Pick incense said: "Don't coax me, girl, I really can't sit in front of the window next time." ”
It's hard to say that she wants to see the Gu family in the opposite room, and it seems that she hasn't come back since she saw them go out this afternoon?
Mama said, don't ask around in the palace, even in front of the palace maid who was assigned to her at the beginning, be careful. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts.
As a result, I went out to get food, and soon came in with a pale face.
After she ran out, she went to return the food box, and when she came back, she told her that the aunt of Changchun Palace was going to come to lecture.
"What's the matter?" Nian asked busily. Someone made a mistake? Do you want to teach them a lesson?
Picking incense also felt unlucky, and couldn't help complaining: "It's all a few Gu girls who live opposite, and they went to the front to play with Wang Guiren, but Wang Guiren called them to go to Yongshou Palace to talk to the concubine." The concubine didn't have time to see them, so she left them to drink tea in the house, but she ran into the fifth elder brother. ”
"Ran into Brother?" Nian Shi gasped in fright.
I didn't know much about picking incense, so I said, "I don't know the rest." Let's talk about it when my aunt comes. ”
But the eldest aunt didn't tell them the reason when she came, only that she was not allowed to walk around again.
"There are a lot of nobles in the palace, and the girls have just come in, and they haven't even figured out the door, so it's better to be careful. Otherwise, if something happens, the girls will not be able to fall well, and we will have to eat and hang up. "Aunt Changchun Palace's words are quite polite, and she will leave after speaking.
After a few girls, Miss Gu also asked people to quietly send them back, and then there were grandmothers in the palace to teach the rules, and let them kneel to listen to the training, and it was a day to listen to them.
Nian was so frightened that he didn't even dare to open the window, nor did he dare to look at the other side.
In the Yongshou Palace, as soon as the fourth master came in, he hugged Baifu lying on the couch, held his claws, and carefully touched the bones of his body. Momofuku lay in his arms and wagged his little tail, and he couldn't see the ferocity of that day at all.
At that time, Wang Guiren brought Gu and others in, and Li Wei was too lazy to socialize, so he asked them to take them to the side hall for tea.
You might as well take Momofuku and Zaohua to play in the hall, and he ran to Momofuku and Zaohua to chase. As a result, I don't know which of those people rushed up to 'faithful Savior', and she shouted and beat the dog while trying to pick up Hongyu.
Isn't that a joke?
The eunuchs who had been following immediately surrounded the woman and hugged Hongyu to separate the woman.
Momofuku and Zaohua rushed up to her to bite her when she rushed towards Hongyu, but she kicked her away.
……
Li Wei hurriedly came out after hearing the cries of Baifu and Zaohua, and the matter had already happened. Xiao Xizi had already taken Baifu and Zaohua away, and Hongyun was also carried back to the house, leaving only Wang Guiren and the women kneeling to plead guilty to her.
The one who wanted to save Hongyun and kick Momofuku was the Gu family who had just been elected to the palace.
Li Wei really didn't know what to say. simply handed it all over to Changchun Palace, and she wanted to go to see Baifu and the child first.
Hongyun was not frightened or injured, but he didn't dare to let him know that Momofuku had been kicked. He couldn't be coaxed by this, and although he was hugged away, he heard Momofuku's screams after being kicked.
Li Wei heard that he was arguing with Erhe, the nurse and the big eunuch in the house, and felt that it was impossible to withstand it after entering, and it was okay to hear this kid, so she went to see Momofuku first.
Xiao Xizi has already invited a dog doctor from the cat and dog room.
It's an acquaintance.
As soon as Li Wei entered, the man knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, shouting not your lord, your concubine, but 'master'.
When he looked up, the eyes that couldn't wake up were instantly recognizable.
"Thoughtful?" Li Wei really remembered him, "Aren't you in the flower and bird room?" Going to the cat and dog house now? ”
Zhou Quan didn't expect the master to remember him! Everyone was about to stammer: "The slave Kangxi was in charge of the flower and bird room when he was forty-one years old, and the slave raised the birds well, and the birds sent to the Chengqian Palace made Concubine Tong like it...... "It's over!" Zhou Quan's face regretted saying the wrong thing.
The little Kiko on the side can't believe that there is such a stupid one! What did you say in front of the master, what did you say about Concubine Tong of Chengqian Palace?
However, seeing that it was the old servant of his master, Xiao Xizi was willing to make a good fate, so he helped him: "Master, is our family Baifu okay?" ”
Zhou Quan nodded hurriedly, choking on saliva again: "No, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Li Wei looked over and saw that Creation was by Baifu's side, humming one after another. Momofuku is very well-behaved, so good that he doesn't even snort. She was startled and immediately asked, "Kicked hard?" "If that's the case, she will never let go of that Gu family!
Just think about it, will there be an accident in the Yongshou Palace? She knew it was okay from the beginning, but she just wanted to rely on the matter of 'saving people' to get ahead, so she rushed out. Later, Momofuku and Zaohua rushed towards her, and she was frightened and kicked the dog.
Zhou Quan was also anxious when he heard this, came over and checked it carefully, and said, "It's okay." Momofuku didn't throw up, he didn't hide when he pressed his stomach, and he shouldn't have kicked it. However, you should still be careful in the past two days, feed some liquid food first, and see if there is any blood on the poop it pulls, or the poop turns black. ”
After he finished speaking seriously, he looked at Li Wei and said in his heart: It's broken! You can't say anything filthy in front of your master!
Xiao Xizi is relieved, this is a stupid big man. However, some masters still like to use this, and they think that such people have few eyes.
Even if he really entered the Yongshou Palace after this week, he wouldn't be able to go up if he didn't have enough eyes.
Li Wei didn't care, so she asked Zhou Quan to stay in Yongshou Palace first, and then let him go back when the blessings were really good.
After getting the news, Hongyu and the others ran back to see Momofu, and later she let them leave when she saw that Momofuku was surrounded by this group of little masters and had a bad rest.
At this time, she also heard about the Changchun Palace's treatment of Gu and several others. Sure enough, it doesn't hurt or itch again.
It is said that Momofuku is a dog, so it is naturally not as valuable as a human.
So what Changchun Palace did can't be wrong. It's just that...... still made Li Wei feel uncomfortable.
But when she saw the fourth master, she didn't say a word. There is no human rights under the feudal imperial power, and if you really say it, it is impossible to say what the fourth master will do.
She was also afraid of the kind of thing that would kill people for the sake of dogs, and she hated Gu's bad intentions.
I didn't think I should let her lose half her life for this.
It's just a few days of concealment, but I still let the fourth master know. Seeing that as soon as he came in, he hugged Baifu and looked at it, Li Wei was worried about how to explain for a while, how to turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing, and when he hugged Baifu and asked her what was going on, she focused on Gu's 'I am not familiar with the palace, and I was anxious when I saw a dog chasing Hongyu at first glance, and I was also kind'.
Although this is said in a breathless manner, there is always a weight in everything. At this point, it is better to say it as lightly as possible, rather than adding fuel to the fire.
The fourth master heard this and said something wrong, how could he be afraid that I would cut down the Gu family in a fit of anger like a tyrant?
- Could it be that he has been like this in Su Su's heart recently?
As if sensing something, he hid his surprise, hummed lightly, and gently stroked Baifu and said, "Baifu is fine." In the past two days, it is better to move to the Heart Cultivation Temple, I can often look at it. ”
Knowing that he couldn't rest assured that he was not going to Baifu, Li Wei asked people to take Baifu's things, as well as creation, and they also had to go together. The two dogs are now dependent on each other, and they refuse to eat when they are separated. When Momofuku was recuperating from her illness before, she brought Zaohua to her house, but Zaohua stopped eating, and then had to let them continue to be together.
In the next few days, it was natural that she would continue to stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and even Hongyun also loved to run the Heart Cultivation Palace, all for Baifu.
Momofuku is very well-behaved, maybe it doesn't feel uncomfortable or hurt, but the owners want it to lie on its stomach, lie down, it won't move, and when it's sure that it's eating and pooping all right, Zhou Quan can be sure that Momofuku has no problem at all, and it is allowed to leave its hut.
When it heard Li Wei say, "Baifu, you're alright, you can go out." ”
Its little ears immediately stood up! Then he stood up all of a sudden, and ran out like a broken arrow, which shows that it has really suffocated it in the past few days.
Creation also ran after it, and the two dogs ran happily in the courtyard in front of the Heart Cultivation Temple.
When the fourth master heard their movements, he came out to see them, smiling.
He asked Su Peisheng: "The queen asked them to teach them the rules for a month, and then what?" ”
Su Peisheng said in his heart, where is there a second?
He said, "Minions...... Didn't inquire. ”
Then he saw that although Banzai still had a smile on his face, he began to gently stroke the Buddhist beads strung by the concubine on his wrist.
Since the concubine strung a box of Buddhist beads, Banzai often picked a string to wear.
Whenever he wants to get angry, he will touch this bead.
Then, naturally, it was like seeing a concubine, and the anger of Banzai was gone. The author has something to say: good night everyone, see you tomorrow
