Chapter 306: In the Palace
Hongchen and Wang Banxian walked around the Han family up and down, and finally the Han family's home was not moved, but the two of them did not get together, and whispered with serious expressions, which made the Han family very worried.
Especially the old lady of the Han family, she is a lot older, but she can't wait to grow up on Hongchen, she follows up, and she doesn't dare to take the elders' frame at all.
Wang Banxian took the opportunity to make a long list, all of which were things that the Han family had to do right now.
What to rebuild the ancestral tomb, buy sacrificial fields, and make a way for the lonely old people and children in the clan to make a living, are all simple and small things, as well as all kinds of good deeds that need to be done, trivial and trivial, not only involving the Han family, but also involving many families who are related to the Han family.
It's not just about spending money, it's about putting a lot of effort into it.
Most of these families belong to the families who helped Han Yuanzhi back then, but they were forgotten and not remembered at all.
Several people in the Han family were dumbfounded.
Wang Banxian also had a serious face: "These have to be done, to be honest, your Han family's Yin Virtue loss is very serious, although in fact, you haven't done many things that hurt the heavens and reason, but over the years, all kinds of small things have added up, so that your ancestors have suffered a lot underground, if you can't make up for it, what will happen in the future, it's hard to say." ”
The old lady of the Han family hurriedly promised that she would definitely do it.
Not to mention anything else, just because Wang Banxian, an outsider, has only been at home for a day, she can make things that she doesn't even remember so clearly, and she can only believe that it is all the meaning of the ancestors.
Except for their own ancestors, who can turn all these things out?
The old lady of the Lu family saw this matter, so she left with her family, and Han Yuanzhi escorted her all the way, her face full of embarrassment, and she stopped talking.
The old lady ignored him.
Although he can understand his cousin and really loves him, his daughter-in-law does something that is really unpleasant.
In the past, she thought that this younger brother and sister were very capable and could help Yuanzhi well, but now that she looks at it, it is not pleasing to the eye.
It's just that the old lady also knows that she is not qualified to take care of the affairs of the Han family now, she is an aunt and grandmother who have been married for decades, can she still take care of her younger siblings who have been the housewife of her mother's family for decades?
"Let's thank Wang Lao Immortal, if it weren't for Wang Lao Immortal's help, I don't know what chaos would have happened."
Qiao's ******** went to the old fairy Wang.
This old fairy is very effective, she wants to ask for peace and happiness for her family or something, otherwise, let the old fairy do the math to see how the Lu family will be in the future, and whether this catastrophe can pass in peace.
Wang Banxian fooled her and there was still no problem, one was in the car, the other was riding a horse outside, and they still chatted very much, and when the carriage came to the door and parted ways with Wang Banxian, Qiao's mouth was already full of what the old fairy said, how the old fairy said.
However, after entering the house, Qiao's excitement faded slightly, and his mind began to clear up, so he called Hongchen over with the old lady and listened euphemistically, mainly to ask, why is she a girl's family so well-connected.
Not to mention the little marquis of the Xue family, this old fairy doesn't look like an ordinary person, Hongchen actually recognizes all of them, and everyone gives her face like that, this thing is a bit weird.
The so-called things gather by like, people by groups, usually look at a person's friendship, how much you can know what kind of person this is, in the eyes of the Lu family, to be able to make friends with a little marquis, at least you must be a noble daughter of a wealthy family.
Hongchen has not grown up in the Lu family over the years, and the Lu family does not know much about the news of the Zhuangzi where he lives, and because of a major disaster, all traces have been erased, but no matter how you think about it, it is difficult to imagine how a concubine in the Lu family can have a relationship with such a character as the capital!
When Qiao asked, he was still very pleasant, after all, it was a good thing, and it was not a bad thing.
Hongchen also felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, but if he really had to be careful every step of the way, it was really unnecessary.
Luo Niang and they all think it's unnecessary, what's the point of letting a county lord be cautious about the Lu family?
Since they asked, Hongchen was all pushed to what kind of coincidence, accident, and somehow it was fate and the like.
Qiao's has nothing to disbelieve, although she has been the wife of a big house for a few years, she is still a simple-minded, the old lady of the Lu family is half-convinced, but in addition to thinking so, she can't think of any other reason, so she can only believe it like this, anyway, it's not a bad thing, just tell Hongchen, now in the capital, it is very good to have a little connection, to maintain it well, when it is time to go, talk to his wife.
Hongchen smiled and responded one by one.
Socializing or something, Hongchen hasn't had much time recently, and he doesn't even bother to pay attention to Xue Baiqiao's sudden depression.
Since Senior Brother Lin didn't take care of it, it must not be to the point of being very fatal, or outsiders can't take care of it, since this is the case, Hongchen will not be disliked.
In the past few days, the queen always likes to summon Hongchen into the palace to talk, and the day is not very long, about an hour at most, most of them are asking about things outside.
At that time, the queen was also a heroine among women, the emperor was fighting outside, she could definitely hold up a piece of the sky in the palace, but in the past ten years, she has been living in the deep palace, never interfering in the government, almost became deaf and blind, and now stand up again, even if the means are not degraded, the majesty is still there, inside and outside the palace, not many people really dare not give face at all, but there are countless things that can be encountered.
Of course, the queen asked Hongchen to talk in the past, just to chat casually, and occasionally confirm the news she got, she didn't plan to let Hongchen really help her do anything big, even if she didn't show her fangs for many years, inside and outside the court, there are still a few loyal helpers, after all, she is not just an ordinary person, only relying on the emperor's queen, back then, when the emperor went out, she could even act as an agent for the government, and she could directly make decisions for the emperor, without asking for more instructions.
In this Great Zhou Dynasty, only the queen can stand side by side with the emperor, if it weren't for the Great Zhou Dynasty to learn the lessons of the previous dynasty and tighten the constraints on women, the queen can do more, I'm afraid there will be more.
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
The charcoal basins in the Ganquan Palace were removed.
Hongchen put the sorted out account books of the household department on the small bookcase, and when he turned his head, he saw the queen wrapped in a snow-white coat, leaning against the window, and staring at a big tree outside that he couldn't see what kind of tree it was.
“…… It seems that I planted it when I entered the palace, and it actually grew so big...... Hongchen, let's see if this tree is dying. ”
Hongchen walked over and took a look, and admired Niangniang's sensitivity in his heart.
The tree still looked leafy, but she felt like she could smell a breath of death.
This tree is going to die, and it may be difficult to survive the next winter, and the feeling is inexplicable.
Hongchen didn't speak, and the queen didn't ask again: "It's okay, after so many years, it's time to change it." ”
When she entered the palace, she didn't live in Ganquan Palace, but she liked to study here, because there was a living spring, and there were very beautiful gardens and beautiful scenery.
As she was talking, Su Niang suddenly came in lightly.
Her face was a little ugly, and the queen glanced back and frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
Su Niang lowered her head and said softly: "Mama Qi went, because she had served the Queen Mother before, and she was a little decent, so let's ask if you want to give a grace." ”
The queen was stunned for a moment, closed her eyes, and said softly: "Reward a good coffin, send it home, and let her send it to her family." ”
Su Niang answered, and slowly retreated.
Hongchen obviously saw that the queen's mood became very bad in an instant, but she didn't ask, just sat with her for a while, said a few words of gossip, and saw that the mother was somewhat absent-minded, so she quit the palace.
On the way out of the palace, the spy in front suddenly came over, and bit her ear with the little father-in-law who sent her out, and the little father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and said, "County Lord, Concubine Yu is ahead, should we wait?" ”
Hongchen nodded slightly, and sat beside him for a while, until the person in front of him came to report that Concubine Yu had passed, and then continued to walk.
This is the case in the palace, it is normal to avoid concessions, of course, the main reason is that Hongchen does not want to deal with those concubines in the palace.
Luo Niang and Xiao Yan were very curious, and they ran to the front to see, before these two followed Hongchen, I am afraid that they would never have imagined that one day they would be able to enter the palace to see what the palace looked like, and they could also see the concubines hidden by the emperor in the deep palace.
After leaving the palace gate and changing into her own carriage, Luo Niang whispered: "Concubine Yu didn't sit in a sedan chair, she looked very anxious and hurried." ”
Xiao Yan made a few gestures outside.
It didn't take long for a note to come in from outside.
The note is very simple, a few words were simply written, only saying that King An's youngest son was frightened and had just been taken out of the palace gate, and the palace seemed to be on fire, and a grandmother died.
Hongchen burned the note, and frowned: "King An's youngest son? Then he shook his head and said to Luo Niang and Xiao Yan, "If you enter the palace with me again in the next few days, you must be careful and don't let you move around." ”
Both responded.
…………
Concubine Yu was really anxious, walking and walking, and even stumbled under her feet, almost falling, which frightened the faces of the palace people around her.
Hurried to the front of Xiuyu Palace, and didn't let anyone know, so he went straight in, walked to the door, and suddenly heard a whimpering cry coming from inside, Yu Guifei's face changed, she took a deep breath, and then pushed the door in.
Entering the inner room, the thirteenth princess lay on her feet with her hair scattered, biting the quilt and crying quietly, crying twice and trying to hold back, but bursting out into more tragic cries.
Concubine Yu sighed, patted her back, and said softly: "Ya'er, don't cry, crying makes the concubine feel distressed." ”
The thirteenth princess shrunk, stopped crying for a moment, sat up straight suddenly, swept the vase and kettle on the table to the ground, and shouted in a dumb voice: "Mama Qi is dead, Mama Qi is dead!" ”
Concubine Yu's face changed suddenly, and she rushed over and blocked her: "Shut up, don't shout!" ”
The voice of the thirteenth princess stopped instantly, and Concubine Yu stroked her back again and again, patting her gently.
The room was silent, and the palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
For a long time, for a long time, the sun had set, and Concubine Yu said softly: "He is still young and ignorant, this matter has to be spread, it is not good for him, and it is not good for your brother, forget it, when the mother concubine personally disciplines him, he must be able to change this nonsense." ”
The thirteenth princess's back stiffened, and she didn't say anything to refute after all.
She also knew that she couldn't shout out, she had to cover it up desperately, the one who killed Mama Qi was her adoptive mother's own son, the only baby child who survived.
Right now, her father is sick, her two brothers are at odds, the situation is chaotic, and she can't make any more trouble.
"It's just that the mother concubine also has to think about it, I don't say, will the ninth brother come out? There is also Seventh Brother, don't look at Seventh Brother is not favored, and he has few rights and wrongs, but his relationship with Mama Qi is also very good, it is hard to say that he will not be indignant, and there is ...... What's more important is Brother Jiu, if you let Brother Jiu make trouble, I'm afraid that he will beat his brother half to death. ”
The thirteenth princess's voice was very indifferent.
"Also, have you thought about it, will my third brother also intervene? The fifth brother has a lot of weaknesses, but this one is definitely the most fatal, the godson is not strict, hum, if you really sit on the throne, then you can pay it back! ”
Concubine Yu's back gradually stiffened when she heard this, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart.
The third and the little five are both her sons, she admits that she prefers the little five a little, because the younger son is really caring, looks better, and is more liked by the emperor, and knows that he feels sorry for his mother, but the third child is also a piece of meat that fell from her stomach.
"Hey, I don't care about the two of them, but I can't let others hurt your fifth brother."
The thirteenth princess took off from Concubine Yu, sat down silently, and sneered: "The mother concubine doesn't have to spend her mind on her daughter, her daughter's honor and disgrace are all in the mother's concubine, so naturally she can't do anything to make the mother concubine unhappy." ”
The room fell silent again.
Concubine Yu sat for a while, and finally left.
The thirteenth princess called the palace maid over, took warm water and washed her face, and applied ointment to her swollen eyes.
She is not the emperor's own daughter, not only is she still young, her father died on the battlefield, and her mother was also martyred, so she was adopted by the emperor as an adopted daughter and raised under the name of Yu Guifei.
She looked at her own shadow in the mirror and couldn't help but think of that Princess Rong'an.
The two of them have met a few times, but they are all casual at the banquet, nodding friends, they haven't spoken much, the lord of Rong'an doesn't like to see those princesses or anything, the queen mother is afraid that she will be wronged, and never let the girls in the harem bother her, that love is heavy, but I haven't seen it, and it can be seen from some very detailed locations.
It is said that at the palace banquet, each mother and concubine will give vegetables to the children, expressing their attention, but those dishes are all made at will in the palace, I am afraid that even the ladies don't know what they are giving, but that day she can see clearly, the lord of Rong'an County looked at the drunken shrimp made by Chef Huang twice, and the drunken shrimp on the queen's table, so he took them all to her and put them in front of her, and the two queen's palace maids went to peel them for her.
