Chapter 23
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Zhu Yuanzhang, under the urging of the chamberlain, left Kunning Palace and went back to settle down. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Lian'er refused to go back, Cheng Huan learned that Ah Xiu was in a coma, and also ran to accompany her, and then Zhilan Qingyun also came over and was persuaded by Lian'er to go back.
After the third watch, Lian'er and Su Xin hugged the sleeping Chenghuan on the couch beside them, and removed the ornament pendant for Ah Xiu, Lian'er felt that she had been sitting for a long time, and her shoulders and back were sore, so she gently retreated to the outside room and paced back and forth. After half an hour, Fang You woke up and saw Su Xin looking at the lights with his hands on his forehead, and asked softly, "What time is it?" ”
Su Xin was overjoyed: "Niangniang woke up? It's the fourth watch, do you want to drink water? Ah Xiu nodded, Su Xin helped her sit up, Lian'er outside heard the movement and came in, saw that Ah Xiu was awake, and helped put up a soft pillow for Ah Xiu to lean on, and Su Xin went to pour water for Ah Xiu.
"Why didn't you go back after the fourth watch? Always here? Seeing that Lian'er looked tired, Ah Xiu asked with concern. My sister fainted suddenly, even if I go back, I will be here with my heart in suspense, so it is better to guard and rest assured. Zhilan Qingyun also came to see and wanted to accompany here, but I persuaded her to go back. Cheng Huan stayed until the third watch went to sleep, and Su Xin and I put her on the couch over there and fell asleep. ”
Ah Xiu looked at her hand, Cheng Huan slept soundly like a cat, and retracted his gaze with a loving smile: "Now that I'm awake, you better go back and rest!" Lian'er shook her head: "It's already this hour, and when I go back, I'm turning over again." It's better to sleep in my sister's palace. ”
"I'm just asleep for a while, what are you doing? Now I can't sleep, you lie down and we talk together. Ah Xiu smiled. Lian'er sat aside and unloaded the hairpin ring according to her words: "Your Majesty didn't go back until the third watch, I told him what my sister meant, although Your Majesty was faint on the surface, she still sealed Tianying De Concubine." ”
"Concubine Feng is also due, you are the only one of the eight concubines in the right position now, and it is Concubine Ning, Zhilan Qingyun is a little lower. In the future, it will always be convenient to move you up. However, as a concubine, under you, do you know that Your Majesty doesn't care about you? Ah Xiu finished drinking a cup, and handed the cup to Su Xin to add water.
After removing the hairpin ring, Yan'er called for water, Lian'er thanked her and cleaned her face, walked to the side of the bed and lay down: "Your Majesty asked me if I hated him about the slippery tire in the old year, what can I say?" I said to my sister in private, how could I not hate, but in front of His Majesty, I could only say that I didn't hate. My affection for Your Majesty has long since faded with the departure of that unborn child. ”
"Your temperament will never change, if I go in the future, you have no support, and you don't want to please Your Majesty, how can you deal with yourself?" Ah Xiu complained, "I have to look forward after all, there is a man and a woman who always have a place to go." ”
"My place is my sister, if my sister is in front of me, I will either hang myself and go with my sister or cut my hair and ask His Majesty to allow me to go out of the palace to practice, and I will not be in the palace. Your Majesty's temperament has changed greatly now, and his companionship is like a tiger, and his attachment to His Majesty is always empty. Lian'er pouted, "My sister fainted and made people in the palace panic, and now that she has woken up, she has come to teach me again, wasting her strength in vain." ”
Ah Xiu smiled: "You, you, I originally thought that you would always be mellow when you are **** years old, but you are more fierce in temperament, hurting others and hurting yourself, and unwise." Lian'er yawned: "Sister, go to sleep, Tianying will come to thank you tomorrow, and I am very tired." ”
Ah Xiu waited for Lian'er to breathe deeply, turned her head to see that she was asleep, and sent Yan'er to sleep, leaving only plain heart. stared at the curtain for a while, turned his face to see Su Xin sitting on the side and smiled, and asked her, "And what are you laughing at?" Pour me another glass of water, I'm so thirsty. Su Xin poured water and laughed in a low voice: "Niangniang just woke up and said things for so long, it's strange if you don't have a dry mouth!" ”
"You girl, even I have to tease!" Ah Xiu drank the water, and smiled again: "The queen mother has been pregnant since then, and I fainted today and saw that Your Majesty is very mindful of the mother, thinking about the birth of the little prince in the coming year, I can't stop being happy." ”
"One by one, I said that I was the prince of the shadow, and I had to give birth to a princess to be angry with you." Ah Xiu stuffed the cup into Su Xin's hand, "I want to eat plums, you go to Lian'er's purse and steal one for me!" ”
Su Xin put down the cup and took a dried plum according to his words, Ah Xiu put it in his mouth, and Su Xin sneered: "Humanity is a sour and spicy girl, the queen is blindly greedy and sour, but she says that we are talking nonsense!" Ah Xiu's face flushed: "As long as you eat spicy from tomorrow, it depends on what you say." ”
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Ah Xiu fell asleep again in a groggy state.
On the second day, although Ah Xiu was still extremely tired, he still accepted the concubine's visit as usual. Tianying was promoted, although the face of Concubine An was calm, but after all, she couldn't hide it when she was young, and she still missed some color, Ah Xiu saw it in her eyes, and ordered the female official as if she hadn't seen it: "In the palace of the concubine, one should be used to deal with the concubine regulations, and if there is not enough, take it from my share." ”
Tianying left her seat to thank her, and Ah Xiu smiled: "This day has finally come!" My sister gave birth to a prince as soon as possible, and His Majesty will definitely be promoted to the position of concubine, and my father is happy to see this in the sky. "It's autumn now, and new people will come in the spring of next year, and the population will be more and more, and I hope everyone will get along happily." ”
Everyone bowed their heads and said yes, Ah Xiu asked everyone if there was anything else, so they let them disperse, but Wan Concubine did not leave, stayed in the room, Ah Xiu asked her, she knelt down and said: "Your Majesty was promoted to Concubine Kang, above me and An Concubine, I heard that Your Majesty promoted her according to Niangniang's wishes." Miaoyi is not talented, and I want to ask my mother to teach me. ”
Ah Xiu smiled: "You are thoughtful, thoughtful, and young, and the good days are naturally ahead, why are you in such a hurry?" Miaoyi said eagerly: "I'm not in a hurry to climb the high branches, it's really not on good terms with An Concubine, and I am a concubine, although I have more titles, she is not guilty of river water with me, but secretly she is often affected by her idleness, and I just look forward to going up like Sister De Concubine, so as not to be so panicked!" ”
"Do you know that Concubine De was only twelve years old when her parents died and entered the house, from the age of fourteen to serving Your Majesty to now, she is just a concubine, you just need to keep to yourself and not fight with others, naturally you will not live under An Concubine for a long time." Ah Xiu smiled.
Miaoyi didn't know what to do at first, but then suddenly realized: "Xie Niangniang's teachings, Miaoyi keep it in mind!" Ah Xiu nodded, looked at her out, turned her face to Su Xin and said: "Wan Concubine, this girl is obedient, a little bit is thorough, that An Concubine, although Yizhen asked her to help her regain her favor, but her scheming is still so shallow." ”
Su Xin smiled: "She thought she was proud, she had no face for Concubine De, and now if she is a man with her tail between her legs, it will be fine, otherwise, I'm afraid the show will not be far away." (To be continued.) )
