Chapter 9: The Concubine
Xuanhui walked up to the concubine, saluted dignifiedly, and sat aside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The concubine immediately picked up the topic just now: "I don't understand, the will of the second prince of the Holy Sect has already been made, and the Queen Mother didn't say anything, why did she come to me like this!" Sister, what is the Queen Mother for? ”
Concubine Xian was embarrassed and said, "Sister, where can we guess the queen mother's intentions." I ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was intercepted by the concubine: "Sister, you don't have to tell me this." Now you are the most faceful in front of the emperor, and the emperor was still here last night, you don't know, who can know? ”
Xuanhui didn't interject, and she didn't have the reason to interject, but the thoughts in her heart were dripping and turning. The queen mother's move yesterday, eighty percent of the queen's rhetoric played a role. Although the Queen Mother is tired of the queen, the interests of the two are firmly tied together. The marriage of the children, the order of the parents, although the concubine has a high status, she is still a concubine. She chose a concubine for the second prince with such fanfare, never asking what the queen meant, and the queen mother had to maintain the face of the queen's main palace no matter what.
Just thinking about it, he handed an assorted box in front of him, and specially put the sweet and greasy candied fruit farther away. Xuanhui's heart warmed, and when she looked up, she saw that Concubine Xian was motioning for her to eat some snacks. All a mother thinks about is her child, whether she is hungry or not, whether she is warmly dressed. Xuanhui picked up a piece of dim sum and took small bites.
Seeing this, the concubine said "oops" and said with a smile: "Look at me, patronizing myself and chattering, I forgot that our Xuanhui is hungry!" ”
Concubine Xian said: "As soon as we talk, it is easy to forget the time. He turned his head to Jingyun and ordered: "Today, the concubine Niangniang stays in our palace to eat, you let them add a few more dishes, and you will entertain the people around the concubine to eat." Jingyun was ordered to go out.
The concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "This is true! Looking for you to talk, and a meal! You don't need to add food here, I must have prepared it there, just bring it. Then he commanded the people around him.
Xuanhui really admired the concubine, and when she saw herself eating dim sum, she knew that it was late, but she even stayed to eat, and she vowed not to give up if she didn't achieve her goal!
After eating the snack quietly, Xuanhui took tea and rinsed his mouth. The concubine stared at her a few times and said with a smile: "Everyone says that Xuanhui is different now, I still don't believe it!" I liked Xuanhui's temper very much before, straightforward and generous, but now that I am a little more elegant, I love it even more! My brother's eldest son is married to the youngest daughter of Dingguo Gong, and now the second son is also thirteen, and he looks very much like me! As the saying goes, a man or a woman is either rich or expensive, but she is a good child! ”
Concubine Xian frowned almost invisibly, and said, "Look at what my sister said, your mother's nephew, just by virtue of this background, he is noble, why do you need to look at his appearance!" After speaking, he wanted to change the topic: "My sister said last time that my flower tea here was good, and I asked them to make some new ...... before."
The concubine interrupted Concubine Xian's words and said, "This man and woman still have a meaning, that is, they look good!" It's good at reading, it's good at riding and shooting, but it hurts my mother! is one year older than Xuanhui, and he is quite ...... in appearance."
Concubine Xian couldn't bear it anymore, and Zhengse said: "The day before yesterday, the saint also said that Xuanhui is still young, and he should stay for a few more years, so he is not busy talking about relatives." Besides, the child is here, and you can't just mention it! He motioned to Xuanhui: "You go back to your temple first, and you can use it for lunch." Remember to practice words and piano in the afternoon! ”
Xuanhui bowed and retired, and heard Concubine Xian's deliberately lowered voice in his ears: "There is another one, my sister also listens to my sister." Although my sister is noble, we can't do the marriage of the prince and princess. If you force this master, I'm afraid you'll offend people......"
Xuanhui thought to herself, her mother was really soft-hearted, and she was so angry with the concubine, but in the end she still told her why the queen mother interfered in the affairs of the second prince.
After two days, the palace was calm, presumably the concubine listened to the words of the virtuous concubine, settled down a lot, and did not toss the marriage of the second prince again.
In the afternoon of this day, Xuanhui waited for Mrs. Changyi in the Chengqian Palace with Concubine Xian. Because the queen mother did not like the concubines in the palace and her family often came to visit, Mrs. Changyi rarely came to the palace. As soon as he entered the door and saluted, Mrs. Changyi Bo pulled Xuanhui to look up and down, and said: "I heard that you fell into the water, and you have been having a high fever that does not go away, so I can't help it!" I took your aunt to recite the Five Yen Sutra in the Buddhist hall, and when I heard that you were better, I was relieved. Looking at it today, how did you become so thin again! Even though you are young, you have to know how to take care of yourself! Otherwise, what do you have to do, and who will your mother rely on? As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
In her previous life, Jiangxia's mother concubine was of low rank, and her family was not qualified to visit the palace. The Queen Mother also died early, and Jiang Xia's short life was never loved by his ancestors. I used to hear people say that the love of grandparents is different from that of parents, and they always dote on their grandchildren for no reason and unconditionally. Jiang Xia sometimes listened to the little palace maid talk about how her grandmother protected her father and mother from beating and scolding, and she was secretly a little envious in her heart, hoping that there would be such a person around her, who would protect herself with full eyes and unreasonably.
Looking at the white-haired Mrs. Changyi in front of her, Xuanhui couldn't help but say sincerely: "Grandmother, don't worry, although I have lost weight, I am stronger!" I won't worry you again! ”
Mrs. Changyi burst into tears and laughed, and said, "This kid has really become well-behaved! When I heard that your cousin was there when you fell into the water, I was so angry that I knocked him a few times with my cane! Don't worry, your grandmother will call the shots for you in the future! ”
Xuan Hui was stunned, it seems that in the hearts of others, she still likes Xue Yuanhan, when will she have to find a way to correct this matter!
Concubine Xian frowned and said, "Mother, don't worry about this, this won't work!" ”
Mrs. Changyibo, who was wearing a jade bracelet on Xuanhui's hand, said, "What's not to do?" Cousin cousin ......"
Concubine Xian hurriedly said, "Mother! I invite you to come today for Yuan Han's marriage. A few days ago, the Queen Mother asked me to send a message to my father, saying that she had retired Yuan Han from the Yu family, and she had a good family to tell Yuan Han. ”
Mrs. Changyi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "But the county lord of Wenjin? ”
Concubine Xian nodded.
Mrs. Changyi said in a low voice: "This is not good! Your father also heard some rumors, but although the eldest princess of Funing has a noble status, she can also take advantage of this to retire from the Yu family's family affairs, but Funing's reputation outside is really ......"
Concubine Xian said sadly: "Originally, the saint asked me not to worry, he will give Yuan Han a marriage in the future." But the saint saw that the queen mother was so persistent, Funing's mother and daughter stared at Yuan Han, and the saint was afraid that the queen mother would insist on not obeying at that time, and he couldn't help it! ”
Mrs. Changyi said: "Don't say anything else, just say that this county lord of Wenjin is so pampered that he is domineering and arrogant, and even Xuanhui dares to do it!" If we marry back home, wouldn't our family be another Li Juma family? Mother and daughter sighed in unison.
Xuanhui suddenly had a flash of inspiration, maybe the one who can solve this dead end is Li Jingyuan's father, the concubine Li Xu!
