Chapter 22 Concubinage
As soon as she arrived at the Waiting House, her family served her to get out of the car, and she asked what about the Hou Ye? The family said that a quarter of an hour ago, the palace came to pass her into the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Is it the Father?
Long Xi didn't want to think about it if he couldn't figure it out, and Chen Rong, who knew that it was the crown princess, was even more confused. My sister called a female official whose name he couldn't say today to announce him, and he left immediately, and said that he was questioning.
He asked in a hurry, and the female officer only bowed her head. There is a difference between men and women, and she is the maid of the crown princess, so everyone sees him, so he has to enter the palace with curiosity.
When I arrived in the palace, everything was different.
There was no one waiting in his sister's inner sanctum, and as soon as he entered, his sister stood in front of the window, and he saluted, but his sister did not make a sound.
As soon as he remembered, his sister spoke.
"Is it a rumbling?"
He has the heart to laugh at his sister, who is it if it's not him? Or did you call to proclaim?
But my sister's serious tone was like that of my grandmother, and she called her so angry. Listen, waiting? It's like between a monarch and a minister.
He tightened his heart, but he was not a monarch? My sister is now the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future. He was just waiting, and it was time for him to bow to his sister now. He thought of the question that the female official said, what is my sister doing?
She stood in front of the window, the wind blowing her sleeves, and the afternoon sun shone on her as she looked so thin.
Chen Rong was a little distressed, he couldn't care about it, got up and stepped forward and said while closing the window: "Sister, why do you still like to blow the wind so much?" It's still cold, and it's blowing cold. ”
Gillian's eyes flashed, and she frowned and didn't answer him. She seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, she looked at Chen Rong and said, "Go back and let that maid out to match someone." Her tone was serious, and there was no room for negotiation.
Maid? His maids-in-waiting?
His heart flashed, and he asked Gillian: "Did Long enter the palace today to sue you?" There was already some dissatisfaction in his voice. He whispered, "I didn't know she was so jealous." ”
Gillian glanced at him coldly: "If you go back now, she must have placed that maid in place, and she will wait for your good wife and beautiful concubine." "She doesn't smile, she really looks like her grandmother, and Chen Rong doesn't dare to fight her.
He was a little unconvinced, but he knew that his sister announced him in as the crown princess, saying that to deal with a maid was to kill her, and he couldn't say anything.
He responded a little reluctantly, but he still couldn't help but defend himself: "If I can give birth, I won't think of taking a concubine, sister, you don't know how to feel sorry for your brother." ”
He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that Gillian's dark eyes were dull, and her voice was cold: "Long Xi is only twenty-three, and you say that she can't give birth?" According to what you say, if I am like this, should you go up to your uncle and ask me to abolish the crown princess? ”
He had the heart to argue, but Gillian didn't give him a chance to speak: "Mother is a princess, and she has lived a free and smooth life, isn't Longxi a princess?" Or is there something I'm sorry for you? ”
She paused, because she was much softer when she talked about the past: "You were so satisfied with her when you married Long Xi, you said that she is really a rare gentle and virtuous princess, and you have to love her well for a lifetime." Thinking of this, Gillian asked him sarcastically: "It's only been a few years, and the dog has eaten it?" ”
Chen Rong was a little ashamed, he was naturally sincere about Longxi. Otherwise, it can't be that the two people who have been good for so many years are the same as one person, and he seriously told Gillian to go back and ask the maid to go to another village.
Gillian got angry, and her mood calmed down a lot. She said slowly: "If you are now a sister-in-law in her thirties, I will not persuade you." There is a difference between concubines and concubines, you have now taken a concubine and gave birth to the eldest son, and when the sister-in-law is reborn in the future, the eldest one will not be convinced. The family is chaotic and the house is restless. You don't know this truth. ”
She walked to the desk and poured Chen Rong a cup of tea: "Go back, treat your sister-in-law well, don't hurt her heart." The matter of the heir, you can't be in a hurry, you and your sister-in-law should take it easy. ”
The night sky resembles a navy blue curtain, accompanied by a slightly cooler night breeze in early spring.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Chen Rong rode back to Longxi's mansion, and Longshu was waiting for him at the door.
He was a little surprised when he saw Long Xi, but Long Xi naturally stepped forward to greet him: "Why did you go for so long?" Is it my father who has declared you? ”
My sister announced him, and she really didn't know.
His heart fluttered, and he asked her, "What about the maid?" ”
She smiled all over her face: "I have already placed her in the side yard, and in two days I will go and tell my mother to open her face and cross the road, and set up a few tables of wine to make a scene." She still smiled so quietly, if her sister's smile was as bright as a peach blossom, then she was as gentle as an early spring flower.
He thought of what his sister had said, and she had settled it.
He was a little distressed, and then thought of his sister and said that she was crying. But now that he is casually saying that he wants to give him a concubine and hold a banquet, how many couples are drifting apart like this?
He took her hand, a little cold. She was a little shy, and when she wanted to break away, she heard him say seemingly unintentionally but very seriously: "Relieve that maid of slavery and let her go out of the house." She looked at him with wide eyes, forgetting to struggle. She wanted to say something, Chen Rong held her tightly and said softly: "My sister is right, we are still old. ”
Younger sister?
It's about the crown princess.
She was very moved, and Gillian's heart for her made her sad and warm.
But she didn't say anything at the moment, she couldn't say virtuously that for the sake of the heirs, you should still take a concubine. She firmly believed in her heart that she was still young, and God would not be so cruel to her.
Gillian passed on Chen Rong's story, and Queen Wang knew about it that night, and she was a little gloomy. If the Chen family and Princess Guantao want to come in with a high status, it will be bad for Long. But for Gillian's sake, in Guantao, and in the emperor's face, she can't say no. can only persuade Long Shu to agree, she is also a woman, seeing that the emperor is still accepting new beauties one by one, how can she feel good?
When Long Xi entered the palace the next day to thank the crown princess and then went to her palace, he told her that Long Xi was not going to accept a concubine. She couldn't help but be taken aback: "What do you say?" ”
Long Xi was in a good mood: "The crown princess called the Hou Ye to scold her yesterday, saying that the concubine is not divided into family houses. Hou Ye came back and said that we are still young, so there is really no need to rush. ”
Gillian speaks for Longwei?
She has always known that Long Xi and Gillian are better, but she also knows that Gillian can be impartial, unlike in the past, when Guan Tao presented beauties to the emperor. Unexpectedly, she called her brother in and scolded him.
This matter, if you can talk like this, it is the Chen family. Guantao is a mother-in-law, and no matter how much she loves her daughter-in-law, she also wants to hug her eldest grandson as soon as possible.
Gillian did not avoid people's eyes and ears when she passed the word, and there were no secrets in the palace. Within a few days, the top and bottom knew it. Guan Tao didn't say anything about her, but the Empress Dowager Dou joked that she was biased and short-sighted.
Gillian smiled crisply: "What grandmother said is very true, Gillian is now the wife of the Chen family, have you forgotten?" ”
It made Empress Dowager Dou feel sorry for her daughter at all, she nodded and said with emotion: "You are right, there should be a difference between the concubines and the concubines, and the respect and inferiority should be distinguished." ”
Her thoughts drifted a little far away, thinking of a trip to the forest in the future. At that time, he suffered from eye disease and had already fallen out of favor, and Emperor Wen's favorite concubine, Mrs. Shen, often sat on an equal footing with her in the palace. Zhonglang saw Yuan Ang and ordered the chamberlain to remove Mrs. Shen's seat to the next seat, but Mrs. Shen was furious and refused to sit down. Emperor Wen of Han was also furious and pulled Mrs. Shen back to the palace.
Yuan Anggang was upright and refused to admit his mistake, he said that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the queen is the queen, how can there be no difference with the lady? The one who made the mistake was Mrs. Shen, who coveted the dignity of the queen.
"Emperor Wen Benji" said: "When the ministers hear that they are respectful and humble, they are in harmony with each other." Now that His Majesty has been established, Mrs. Shen is a concubine, how can the concubine sit with her! Fit for the sake of disdignity and humility. ”
Finally, Emperor Jing admitted his mistake.
Since then, Mrs. Shen has been very deferential to the Empress Dowager Dou.
Liu Che's eldest sister and second sister knew about it, and they couldn't help but sigh in front of Queen Wang that Gillian was not worthy of her mother. You must know that my aunt sent a beauty to her father, and she didn't send it until she asked Li Ji to slap her face.
Unexpectedly, Gillian protected Longxi.
Gillian was still young when they got married, and the relationship with Gillian was much weaker, but after this incident, they also moved around more with Gillian.
Even Liu Che knows it, he has never liked to inquire about harem gossip. He also joked that he didn't expect the crown princess to be so majestic, and he was always worried about asking others to bully her.
She smiled and didn't speak.
But she couldn't sleep for a long time at night, she thought to herself.
Gillian in history has been childless for ten years, could it be that there is something wrong with her body?
She is different from Longxi, she is the queen. Today she speaks for Long, but there is no one to speak for her in the coming day.
Empress Bo was deposed because she had no children, even if there was no Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Li, she would be deposed if she had no children.
She was only fifteen years old, and even in her previous life, she was only eighteen years old. Liu Che is the first person of the opposite sex in her two lives to be so intimate, even if she draws a boundary in her heart. How could it be possible to laugh and smile with him at the same time? But on the other hand, he told himself that he couldn't like him?
It was so hard, harder than she expected.
She didn't have such a strong will, she almost wavered.
But the rumbling thing alerted her, and the thin queen was not far away.
Liu Che just likes her again, how can an empire accept a queen without children?
If you have a child, plan for your child.
Just as Emperor Jing made Liu Che the queen of the king, he also had to make the child's mother the queen.
Her eyes were sober, and her heart was incomparably clear.
She can't be like Long Xi, the jealous crown princess is not even liked by Emperor Jing.
can't be like Queen Bo, she took care of the concubine for Emperor Jing, and was still abolished.
She can't use modern people's emotional outlook to ask Liu Che.
She realized more clearly that she couldn't sink into Liu Che's favor and couldn't get out.
When one day he no longer loves her, she can only hope that he will love her again, and make this unrealistic fantasy.
She should have a world of her own, enough to sustain herself through the world of happiness and sadness.
She rolled into Liu Che's arms, and he opened his eyes a little dazed, imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and patted her waist twice like a child.
She will not give up to manage the future with Liu Che, but she can't live to be dependent on him.
