Chapter 65: Canonization of the Virtuous Concubine
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a boiling will came from the palace, and Ji Jade, the second miss of the Ji family, was named a virtuous concubine, one of the three concubines, and was given the residence in the Moon Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the news reached the Jade Immortal Palace, Mo Yu hadn't gotten up yet. Xiang Rong ran into the hall shouting, so frightened that Moyu thought that it was another assassin! However, she was still surprised for a while, the emperor's speed was really fast, and she originally thought that this matter would not be decided until the next year!
Mo Yu got out of bed, took the handkerchief in Biyue's hand and washed, and then sat on the soft couch and enjoyed morning tea. She was leisurely and indifferent, but she was really anxious, "Niangniang, how can you sit still?" ”
"Why can't I sit still?"
"Everyone is riding on your head, and you are still in the mood to drink tea, do you know how many people in the palace are watching your jokes now?"
Mo Yu looked at the top of his head strangely, and said innocently: "I don't have anything on my head, Biyue, do you see someone riding on my head?" ”
Xiang Rong almost couldn't breathe, snatched the teacup in Moyu's hand with a hatred of iron and steel, stuffed it to Biyue behind him, and said: "Niangniang, I know your temperament, the more sad you are, the more you behave, it doesn't matter, if you really want to cry, cry!" ”
"I didn't have to cry." Mo Yu shook her head helplessly, took the teacup in Biyue's hand and continued to drink tea, and said quietly: "It's only a matter of time before she is made a concubine, I know it from the day she was left in the palace, so there is no need to be angry." Besides, the emperor is a concubine, that's his business, what does it have to do with me, it's just that when I ask for peace in the future, I just take one more path. ”
"Niangniang, aren't you sad, there will be one more person to share the emperor's favor in the future."
Grace is both a gift and a shackle. Mo Yu looked at the corner of clothes that appeared at the door, and said with an evil smile: "Grace or something has never been what I want, what I want, I'm afraid I won't get it in this life." Since he doesn't care about this, he naturally doesn't care about how many concubines he has sealed, and it is a kind of happiness to be able to spend the rest of his life alone in this Jade Immortal Palace. ”
"But the thought of that woman showing off in front of me in the future makes me uncomfortable."
"So, if you can go out less in the future, you will go out less, she is now favored, I'm afraid the first one to deal with is you. Biyue, you also instructed the people in our palace not to go out if you have nothing to do, and to hide when you see Concubine Xian, and not to have conflicts, otherwise, with my current situation, I will not be able to protect you. ”
Xiang Rong pulled a face and asked: "Niangniang, don't you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart, she is your sister, she entered the palace later than you, and now her rank is higher than yours." ”
Mo Yu got up and walked to the door. There was no snow today, a rare good daylight, and the sky was clean. Taking a deep breath, it seems that you can still smell the faint fragrance of flowers, and I don't know where it came from. "People, to learn to be content, to be able to breathe air, to drink clean water, to eat a bowl of rice porridge every day, is to be happy. There is no need to pay too much attention to the ups and downs outside the body, you have to adapt to an attitude towards life, today, you can ask a group of older people to bow down to you, and tomorrow, you can also go and bow down to people younger than you. ”
"What kind of fallacy is this?"
"It says in the Buddhist books. The Buddha said: Penetrate, let go, and be at ease. ”
"I don't understand."
Mo Yu pinched her little head melon seeds and said, "If you don't understand, go and prepare breakfast for me, your master I'm hungry." ”
"Niangniang, you just said to let go, why can't you put down your stomach and become a Buddha on the ground?"
"You little girl, the Buddha also wants to eat."
"Haha, hehe, yes, Buddha, Xiao Ni is going to prepare vegetarian food." Xiang Rong folded his hands and bowed, causing a burst of laughter from everyone. It seems that the days of being grounded are happier than before.
As soon as he returned to the inner hall and sat down, Tian Er had already come in with bags of things, and said, "Niangniang, I brought you the medicine you wanted, mung bean skin, forsythia, honeysuckle, and licorice." ”
Mo Yu opened the packet one by one, picked up some and sniffed them under his nose, and said after making sure that it was correct: "Well, yes, I took it and cooked it together, and brought the soup to me." ”
Biyue asked strangely, "Niangniang, what is this?" ”
"Recently, I have had indigestion, and my stomach is swollen and uncomfortable, and drinking this can relieve it."
"I was on fire a few days ago, and I've had an upset stomach these days, Niangniang, why do I always feel that you've been very wrong lately!"
Mo Yu clapped her hands, as if she didn't understand what Biyue meant, and said, "What's wrong, isn't it just a minor illness, you see I'm not much better now." ”
It is true that she was still sick a few days ago, and since she drank the mung bean soup, her mental face has obviously improved a lot, is it really the credit of the mung bean soup? "It's a lot better, is this mung bean soup any magical effect?"
"If you like to wait, I'll prescribe a prescription for you, so that you will have a ruddy and radiant complexion after drinking it for half a month."
"Really, that's great."
Tian'er stood there and didn't know whether to worry or laugh, when she went to the Imperial Doctor's Office to get these medicines just now, she asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said that this medicine was a prescription for mandala poison. Niangniang was really poisoned as she guessed, but who else in this Jade Immortal Palace could poison her? The people who sent the medicine were all close palace maids, and they wanted to be with her, and after the medicine was boiled, it was first checked by the imperial doctor before it was sent to Niangniang's hand, so this poisoned person was between the imperial doctor and Niangniang, how did this murderer do it?
"Tian'er, Tian'er......"
Tian'er came back to her senses and saw Biyue's hand shaking in front of her, so she said in hindsight: "What do you have to say?" ”
Biyue looked at her suspiciously, and said, "What do you think, you didn't hear Niangniang talk to you." ”
"I'm sorry, mother, I was distracted just now."
Mo Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's normal for your mind to wander." You go and prepare a good pot of tea, and at noon you will entertain your guests. ”
"Guest?"
"Just do as I say, and you'll know by noon."
It is said that the reason why Ji Feicui was favored was because the Queen Mother went to Qianwen Palace last night.
Last night, Qianwen Palace.
The emperor was looking at the music in front of him, and the "crackling" sound of charcoal burning was heard from the brazier next to him from time to time, and the eunuch Ma Gonggong was impatiently grinding the black ink on the side, and the hall was quiet.
After reading one piece and reading another, after grading the first base and changing the first base, you will never finish the approval. The emperor put down his pen, rubbed his forehead, and rested for a while. Father-in-law Ma diligently took a cloak and covered him, and said, "Your Majesty, if you are tired, go and rest first!" ”
A tired voice came, "It's only been an hour to rest, and these recitals are pushed until tomorrow, and tomorrow will not be even more tiring." ”
"The music can never be approved, but it is also important to take care of the dragon's body."
"Take care of the dragon? If these people can save me snacks, my dragon body will naturally be able to take care of it. Oh, by the way, you go to deliver the decree tomorrow, and let Sikong come to the palace the day after tomorrow. ”
Ma Gonggong bowed and replied, "Yes." ”
The emperor stood up, walked to the window, looked at the dark night outside the window, and sighed: "It's so dark, I don't know if she has slept and is in better health?" ”
The old man followed and walked to the emperor's side and said, "Miss Tian'er has already sent the medicine over, presumably Concubine Li is fine." Concubine Li is really smart, the old slave's gout was cured by Concubine Li. ”
She was the same to everyone, even to him. Not salty, not light, not crying, not fussy. "Ma Xing, what kind of attitude do you say Ji Gangyang has towards this daughter of hers?"
The old man thought about it carefully, recalled all the situations he saw, shook his head and said: "According to the old slave's observation, Lord Ji seems to prefer his second daughter, the last time Concubine Li returned to Ning, Lord Ji actually asked her to wait outside the gate for almost half an hour, even in the lobby, they sit, but let Concubine Li Niangniang stand. Concubine Li's old illness recurred last time in Daxiangguo Temple, and the second lady concealed the truth after returning home, and Mrs. Ji only punished her for kneeling for a few hours, and did not let the second lady apologize to Niangniang. The old slave really doesn't understand, even if he has been away from him for more than ten years, but how to say that it is the meat that fell from his body, why don't they care! ”
That's because Mo'er is not her child, and Ji Gangyang may not have treated her as a daughter from beginning to end, so he will be ruthless. But what is their purpose? What good is it for them to kill Moyu? At first, I thought that they were acting in a bitter love drama, which made him ashamed of Moyu, so that he could love her even more. But since he came back that day, he has thought a lot, and Mo Yu's expression is not the shock after the conspiracy was exposed, nor did he beg for mercy, let alone cry. Except for admission, indifference, calmness, nothing.
He really couldn't guess what the purpose of the Ji family was, what was the purpose of the Queen Mother, and what was Moyu's attitude in this matter?
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
Outside the Qianwen Palace, the lights were bright, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs embraced a noble woman, and walked into the Qianwen Palace. "The queen mother came here at this time, what is the so-called matter?"
"The mourning family has not come to see you for a long time, and the emperor should also pay attention to the dragon body, and not be too tired."
"Thank you for your concern, my son is all right."
The Queen Mother looked around, Xiao Mazi and Xiao Anzi understood, waved her hand, and led everyone out of the Qianwen Hall and waited outside the hall.
After everyone had retreated, the Queen Mother turned her head and said to the emperor: "Do you remember what the emperor told you before you set out on the expedition?" ”
The emperor moved, changed to a more comfortable position, and said, "What the queen mother said is about the second lady of the Ji family?" ”
"Just remember. Now that Jade is already living in the Ciming Hall, you can't let her stay until Chinese New Year's Eve, and then send her back! Wouldn't doing this slap Ji Gangyang in the face? "People send their daughters to the palace and are sent back, how can the jade still have the face to marry.
"Queen Mother, isn't it enough for the Ji family to have a daughter as a concubine, why do you want to send another daughter in, does the queen mother want the two sisters to take charge of this harem together?"
"Your Majesty, the person in charge of this harem should be a person who has both ability and political integrity, is gentle and graceful, and has a solid family background, and can help the emperor. Concubine De is too ruthless, Concubine Shu doesn't have that ability, if a woman who can help the emperor solve his urgent needs appears at this time, this woman The emperor must stay. The Queen Mother said with great seriousness.
The emperor is a little unhappy, does his country need a woman's help? The answer is no. "The queen mother is talking about Ji Jade?"
The Queen Mother nodded. "Exactly."
"What is the difference between Ji Moyu and Ji Jade? Besides, Moyu also saved my life, wouldn't it be more natural for her to be the queen? "Since you have to rely on the Ji family, what is the difference between Ji Moyu and Ji Jade.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said: "Jade is born by the Yuan family, and Moyu is not, she is just the illegitimate daughter of Ji Gangyang who was born outside." What the Yuan family needs is that her woman can be the most noble woman in the world, and it should have been Jade who originally entered the palace, but Jade happened to be sick at that time, so she let Moyu enter the palace. ”
It turns out that Moyu is just a temporary substitute. Now that the original product has appeared, her replacement has also completed its mission. No wonder they want to kill her, what do they think of her?
The Queen Mother patted the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty, the mourning family knows that you are different from Concubine Li, but this is your harem, and every woman in this body represents different interests." The emperor can love only one woman, but you must pamper all women. Concubine Li is very good and very smart, but the emperor, she is like snow, so clean, so clean that she can't bring you anything except that she is a woman! ”
This analogy is not wrong, Moyu is like snow, always standing there so clean, not stained with a trace of dirt in this world. But doesn't he have the right to love a woman like that? "Then the queen mother, what can Ji Feicui bring me?"
The Queen Mother retracted her gaze, "Although the Zhou Kingdom has been peaceful now, it is not peaceful in the world. The Ji family was able to raise military salaries, and Ji Gangyang's Zhongshu Ling was not bought with money, he had that ability, and he also had the Yuan family. ”
Military salary, this is a great temptation, and it is indeed worth it for him to exchange a woman. Last time, Moyu's method could only be used once, and it could not be used again. However, he was unwilling to do so, but he had to do it. "Then what will the queen mother do with Concubine Li?"
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor and sighed. "She is still her concubine, as long as she lives in her Jade Immortal Palace in peace, the mourning family will not treat her well. Besides, the emperor won't let the mourning family touch her, right?"
She was originally a woman divided by An An. "The queen mother, she is the first woman who makes Erchen's heart move, so let Erchen continue this heartbeat. But the son also promised his mother that he would hide this heartbeat in his heart and not show it. ”
The Queen Mother nodded reassuringly. She has gone through two dynasties and married two emperors, there are all kinds of women in the harem, but there are a few who can really enter the emperor's heart, the first emperor married her and spoiled her, isn't it just for the interests behind her! People say that the emperor is ruthless, but in fact it is not, the emperor also has love, but they can only hide this love in their hearts, and in the dead of night, take it out and remember it alone.
"This is the emperor's love, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know, you locked her up, in fact, to protect her."
Even if she was protected in this way, someone still poisoned her. "However, the queen mother, the Ji family has already produced a concubine, and if another queen is crowned, I'm afraid it's not time yet."
"The mourning family has thought about this, so let's make her a virtuous concubine first, so that Ji Gangyang also feels fairer. If she is angry and has a prince, she will make another plan when the time comes! ”
Son, he is in his thirties, halfway through his life but still does not have a son. If only Moyu could give him a son.
