Chapter 118: Something Happened to Hongday
On the grounds that cuttlefish has the virtue of humility and frugality, the emperor named her a humble concubine in a few days, and became another concubine after Yu Concubine, Mao Concubine, and Ning Concubine.
is young, but he is honored and pampered, which is enviable.
In the blink of an eye, winter came, and after a heavy snowfall, the entire palace was covered in silver.
The cuttlefish sat by the window, it was bone-chilling outside, the north wind was howling, mixed with snowflakes dancing in the courtyard, and the house was extremely warm, the cuttlefish was wearing only a gown, and he didn't even feel cold.
As long as there is enough charcoal, this winter will not be difficult to endure, even if it is cold.
The cuttlefish slowly narrowed her eyes, the tiredness on her face grew, as if she was about to fall asleep, she subconsciously took a long blanket from the side, covered her body, and was about to fall asleep.
In the dream, she saw many delicacies that she had never seen before, and the feast was full of color and flavor......
There was a faint sound in her ears, and soon, the thing on her leg "swished" and disappeared all at once, and the cuttlefish suddenly felt a chill, and she opened her eyes in a hurry and woke up from her dream. Who was it that dared to disturb her dreams so boldly?
A woman who was smiling was reflected in her sight, and the cuttlefish looked at it fixedly, it was Wang who promised to come, Wang promised to wear a plain velvet embroidered jacket, with a dark cloak on the outside, and she was holding a soup woman tightly in her hand, her cheeks were red from the cold, which showed that it was really cold outside.
"Sister Wanfu, why did you sleep again in the middle of the day?" Wang Yu joked with a grin, and as he spoke, he took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Ruyi on the side.
The cuttlefish yawned and glanced at her with a smile, "It's so cold, what else can you do if you don't sleep?" Do you want to go for a walk or two in the Imperial Garden? Don't stand on the ground, come up and sit quickly. ”
Wang promised to pat off the scattered snowflakes on the trouser legs, sat cross-legged on the couch, rubbed her hands together, and then covered her face with her hands. muttered, "Fortunately, Chuxiu Palace and Xianfu Palace are close, and you can reach it after walking a few steps, otherwise we two sisters." Don't want to meet this winter. ”
Xianfu Palace and Chuxiu Palace are in the West Sixth Palace, living next to each other, so cuttlefish and Wang promised to be convenient to come and go.
When Wang promised to say this, a touch of anger flashed between her eyebrows, which made her particularly delicate. Her facial features are exquisite. With a smile and a smile, her face can be regarded as a captivating city, and the cuttlefish looked at her face, and really felt that Wang promised to be the best-looking woman in the palace.
It's a pity that although her appearance envied everyone, she couldn't impress the emperor, so she never had grace.
The cuttlefish didn't understand the reason, and the more she thought about it, the more curious she became, and she inevitably became interested in Wang's identity, and wanted to know whose daughter it was. There will be such an extraordinary look. They have known each other for a long time, but they have never understood each other's net worth, which seems really a bit unusual.
The cuttlefish held his face in his hand and suddenly asked, "Sister, when did you enter the palace?" ”
"Three years ago." Wang replied without thinking, and she just fiddled with her nails, keeping her head down.
Three years ago? There was no show girl election that year, which means that Wang promised not to enter the palace according to the normal draft process. Perhaps, she is the daughter of a noble family. That's why I was able to do it conveniently and didn't need to participate in the draft, but the cuttlefish saw that she usually lived a tight life, and she didn't look like she was born in a big family.
In this way, there is only one possibility. Wang promised to be recommended to the palace.
The cuttlefish pondered for a moment, "Life in the palace may not be easy, why did you want to enter the palace in the first place?" With your appearance and talent, if you want to marry a good gentleman, you don't have to worry, why bother to come to the palace to waste your life. ”
This question was sharp, and Wang agreed's body stiffened. His eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't know how to answer.
The cuttlefish in front of her was staring at her, and she had to reluctantly show a smile, "I entered the palace only after listening to my father's arrangement, my father is in the second rank of the official residence in the court, he is my adoptive father, I should naturally repay the kindness, and I will not be disobedient to his arrangement." ”
Lord Wang, a second-grade official, has heard of cuttlefish, and occasionally hears the emperor mention him, but the emperor doesn't seem to like Lord Wang.
Looking at Wang Promise's low face, Cuttlefish couldn't help but sympathize with her, it turned out that Wang Promise was an adopted daughter, no wonder she would be sent to the palace, presumably that Lord Wang just wanted to use her to please the emperor.
"Okay, okay, don't mention these, you can try this plum blossom porridge, which is made with white plum, stem rice, and snow water, but it's delicious."
The cuttlefish handed the plum blossom porridge in front of her to Wang Promise, and suddenly changed the topic, she didn't want to touch the sad things that Wang promised, anyway, people always have to look forward, and the past should be put in the back of her mind.
Wang promised to realize the kindness of the cuttlefish, took the porridge bowl, and ate it in a big gulp, with a light smile on her face, but the bottom of her heart couldn't stop flooding with bitterness.
She is a hard-working person with unspeakable suffering.
At this time, Shungui suddenly ran in in a panic, and in a hurry, the hat on his head touched the heavy curtain and fell off. He picked up his hat and said breathlessly, "Master, something is wrong, the fifth elder brother fell and fainted, and now the imperial doctors are all gathered in the elder brother's office, and it is not good to say that it is not good." ”
"What?" The cuttlefish was shocked when he heard this, "How can a good person wrestle, but the ground is too slippery?" The palace people around him are too useless. ”
The emperor's heirs are thin, but there is no room for loss, although the cuttlefish has no impression of the fifth elder brother, but it is inevitable that he will worry about the emperor. She got up and went down to the ground, put on her coat and cloak for going out, and was about to go out to see.
Wang promised to follow her and went to the brother's office together.
The five institutes of Qiandong are also the institutes of the elder brothers, living in the east of the Qianqing Palace and the north of the Qianying Gate. In fact, there are five south-facing courtyards, which are called "Dongtou Office", "East Second House", "East Third House", "East Fourth House", and "East Fifth House" from west to east, and they are the residence of the prince.
The fifth elder brother lived in the East Second Institute, and as soon as the cuttlefish and others arrived there, they saw Yu Concubine Niangniang who was crying in grief, her face was full of tears, and she sat on the ground weakly.
Concubine Yu is the biological mother of the fifth elder brother Hongday, and she is naturally worried and sad at this time, afraid that something will happen to her only son.
"Weichen asks for peace to Concubine Qian." Imperial Physician Shen walked out of it, he saluted with a worried face.
The cuttlefish asked in a low voice, "What is the situation of the fifth elder brother, is there a big problem?" ”
Imperial Physician Shen didn't answer, but just shook his head at the cuttlefish, and the situation didn't seem to be optimistic.
This fall may have an impact on the fifth elder brother's life. (To be continued.) )
