Chapter 115: Sue 3
"This girl is a real thing, six days ago, I went to Anning Houfu to send a message to let her come to narrate, but unexpectedly, the mother-in-law who sent her was a bully, and turned around and walked to the palace. Look at this forehead with such a big scar now, hey, it's a pity that my father is not around. ”
Xia stretched out and lifted Sister Hui'er's forehead, showing the scar to everyone, not mentioning the old lady at all, but everyone here is smart, and after a little thought, you can know that only the unfavored master will give birth to a slave who bullies the master.
"Yo, that minion really deserves to die." Na Ye Guiren also hated and said, her position is not high, although she is favored, but there is no shortage of favored masters in the palace, and she has more or less been angry with that slave.
"This palace has heard that the queen intends to give the eldest girl who is waiting for the house in peace to the five princes." Concubine De interjected and mentioned.
"But didn't the queen faint last time, did the emperor's words just sit there?" Concubine Yan's eyes lit up, obviously waiting for Concubine De to say the follow-up.
Concubine De smiled slightly, straightened her sleeves, and said: "In the final analysis, this palace is still the emperor's, and the emperor's words are holy decrees, and even the queen can't hide from it." ”
"That's exactly what happened." Everyone nodded.
"But sister, let's say something disrespectful in private, we also saw the chrysanthemum banquet that day, the queen doesn't necessarily like the eldest girl of the Chu family, this is to choose a concubine for the five princes, how can the queen respond?" Concubine Yan raised her eyebrows, bent down slightly, motioned for everyone to gather over, and lowered her voice.
"I don't know about it, but it was almost six days ago, and the steward's communiqué said that there was a new female official in the queen's palace, but she was not very old, almost 10 years old." Concubine Hui said slowly, she assisted in the Sixth Palace, and some of the servants under her should also report these things in front of her.
"Huh, such a coincidence? Our sister Hui was also injured that day, and she walked the same way into the palace. Xia immediately exclaimed.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Sister Hui together.
Sister Hui raised her head slightly and whispered, "Mother Li said that she was going to the palace." ”
Concubine Yan and Ye Guigui both had abrupt expressions, while Concubine Hui was thoughtful.
Xia slammed the table fiercely: "Hmph! If my good sister was still there, how could Hui'er be so deceived into entering the palace. ”
"Your temper has also changed, don't shout, Hui'er is still young, even if she wants to be a female official, she is just doing some loose work." Concubine De stretched out her hand and patted Xia's shoulder, comforting her gently.
Xia Shi took Sister Hui into his arms, his eyes were wet and red, and he choked up and said to Concubine Hui: "Concubine Hui, please, help me this poor child, you have always been trusted by the emperor, can you beg the emperor, open your grace, and give her father a little letter, otherwise you will be tortured sooner or later." ”
"Madam, what are you talking about, the Marquis of Dingbei of your family is a holy minister, how can there be no way." Concubine Hui took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xia.
"My lord has always been unwilling, but he said that I am not allowed to take care of it anymore, and I have no way, I thought that this child was just a little wronged in the house. But today, when I listen to all the ladies and mothers, I know that I may be sold one day, and what face will I have to meet my good sisters underground. Xia stroked Sister Hui'er's head, and the tears in her eyes fell even more unscrupulously, and Sister Hui only felt that the heavenly inspiration was cold, and her heart was also throbbing.
Concubine Hui's eyes flickered, and although she didn't fully agree, she didn't say anything to refuse.
Things have come to this point, Xia and Sister Hui can be regarded as having completed their purpose, and they had lunch at Concubine De's place at noon, and Xia took Sister Hui out of the palace.
Late at night, the lights were still on in the imperial study, and the emperor, who was nearly sixty years old, frowned, holding a copy of the excerpt on the Marquis of Dingbei and did not move for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Jingyu Palace sent someone to say that there is something important to do." Huang Gonggong, the chief steward and eunuch beside the emperor, bowed in and said.
"Well, tell Concubine Hui, I'll be over later tonight." The emperor put the fold on the table, and his brows still couldn't stretch, because it was a list of deaths, and the list of officers with more than six grades killed and wounded in the right army was actually a hundred people.
"Yes." Huang Gonggong cautiously withdrew and went out to pass the word.
After about half an hour, the emperor got up and summoned Gonggong Huang to set up the Jingyu Palace where Concubine Hui lived.
"Niangniang, the emperor has arrived." Concubine Hui was sitting in front of the dressing mirror at this time, and a maid in a palace costume hurriedly came to say goodbye.
When Concubine Hui heard this, she straightened her clothes and led a group of servants to the gate of the courtyard and knelt down to greet her. As soon as he knelt down here, there was a singing father-in-law shouting that the emperor had arrived.
"Concubine Ai quickly flattened down, the weather is cold and dewy, why are you still here early to welcome me." The old emperor lifted Concubine Hui with a distressed face, and said again and again.
Gonggong Huang sighed secretly on the side, no wonder Concubine Hui was not as good as the queen and her appearance was not as good as the concubine, but she was still so favored, and this courtesy to the emperor alone was that there were no concubines in the palace.
Concubine Hui received the tearful plea of the Xia family today, and several concubines brainstormed for a long time, and she actually had some guesses in her heart, she was also from a big family, and she also knew what was going on in the back house. So as soon as he returned to Jingyu Palace, he asked the people around him to go out to find out the news. Sure enough, the female official that Queen Fengqi Hall was going to ask for that day was the third lady of the Chu family's big house.
Thinking about it further, the girl of the Chu family once danced in the queen's palace, although she danced really well, she remembered the words of Li Guifei at that time, "Her dance steps and figure are good, but unfortunately she is unhappy, so she can't dance the essence of the Hundred Flowers Dance." ”
At that time, she saw that the queen and Chu Yuyi sang a good show, and thought that the girl also had the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but at this time, she remembered what the concubine with outstanding dancing skills said, and then she thought that the girl was afraid that she was probably unwilling to do it at that time, and then she was afraid that it was also because of the calculation of the lady.
The granddaughter was going to marry the prince, and the queen couldn't look down on it, so she gave the queen an additional gift, a chess piece that she could hold casually.
However, she couldn't figure out why Dingbeihou was reluctant to pass on the word for the Xia family, the Xia family's backyard was the cleanest in the backyard of the noble ladies in the capital, which showed that the two had a very strong relationship.
Tonight she was going to test it, and if it was as she had guessed, she could bury a nail in the queen's side.
"Your Majesty, has the war in Northern Xinjiang changed again? Why don't you rest so late, if you are tired, the subjects of the world will be afraid. Concubine Hui's expression at this moment is definitely worthy of her title "Hui".
Sure enough, the emperor was very comforted, and when he hugged Concubine Hui and stroked her hair, he responded with a very relaxed expression: "Well, the dead and wounded officers of the Northern Xinjiang Right Army have been reported, and the losses are heavy!" ”
"The list is out?" Concubine Hui raised her head and looked at the emperor with some surprise and asked
"Hmm." The Emperor nodded.
"Your Majesty, today Mrs. Dingbei Hou came to ask your concubine about it."
"Oh? Concubine Ai sent someone to say that she had something important to do, could it be that this is the case? ”
Concubine Hui picked up the important ones and told the emperor about them.
"Your Majesty, the concubine saw that the girl was really pitiful, and when she came back to attend the queen's banquet, she looked still lively, able to dance and dance. But now she looks completely lifeless, although she is laughing, but the concubines feel distressed when they look at it, knowing that Lord Chu is safe and sound, I am afraid that they can comfort one or two. ”
"Alas, Chu Jinmin, he's dead," the emperor shook his head and hesitated.
"Yi Zhao didn't bring that letter to Jingqi because I gave him the will to sort out the list of dead and wounded, and I was afraid that I had received the news of Chu Jinmin's death. He is an upright person, and he can't deceive Jingqi. The Emperor said again.
When Concubine Hui heard this, her heart beat wildly, and sure enough, she guessed early in the morning that Chu Jinmin was afraid that he would be more than lucky, and that Mrs. Chu would dare to go to other people's houses to rob people like this, and dare to calculate Chu Jinmin's daughter early in the morning, so it can be seen that she was sure that Chu Jinmin would not come back. What's more, if she stands in the position of Mrs. Natai, one day the six princes will ascend the throne, and the three princes and the five princes in front of her will all have to die!
"Hey, the three girls of the Chu family are pitiful, I heard that the queen mother fell in love with this girl early and asked Mrs. Chu to be a female official early in the morning, and the father-in-law He who was in charge of this matter came a few days ago." Concubine Hui seemed to sigh unintentionally.
"I'm not mistaken, that girl isn't that big, is she?" The emperor asked
"Yes, but around ten years old, I have some skills, and the queen can see it. However, I heard that Mrs. Chu, who passed away the year before last, had such a daughter under her knees, and the concubine was still thinking that Lord Chu would return to Beijing in triumph, and she was afraid that she would be distressed. Concubine Hui continued.
"Speaking of Anning, the waiting master has made a great difference, and the former son and daughter also got the emperor's grace to enter the Yong Palace's side concubine, and I never thought that I would prepare my niece to the queen early to be a female official." Concubine Hui's face was full of admiration
"Well, let's rest early." Concubine Hui said nothing, but the emperor looked solemn and said lightly.
Concubine Hui was overjoyed, knowing that her goal had been achieved, and when she cheered up, she did her best to serve the emperor.
