Chapter 149: Honesty
"Why is the young lady so concerned about this pot of flowers, the maid has been stunned by it all morning today, and she hasn't studied anything special."
Xie Fanyan was originally still talking about the affairs of Weiyang Palace to the girls of Zhirong, but then suddenly fell silent about this pot of flowers, and Zhiyu couldn't help asking.
"If you know the beauty of this flower, then wouldn't you be a young lady?" Xue Ru smiled on the side, "The maid only knows that the young lady said that it must have its wonders, such as this flower, when it blooms, it must look better than ordinary flowers!" β
"You." Fat Rong couldn't help but smile and nodded Xue Ru's forehead, "No wonder the young lady likes you so much, look at your little mouth, it's not okay for the young lady to dislike it." β
"Son, this is not what the young lady likes to talk about. My sisters know me, and I'm talking the most truthful. Xue Ru said while dodging her fat fingers.
Seeing a few girls in a lively group, Xie Fanyan put down the flowers in his hand, "Don't forget to water it every day...... Also,"
"And don't stay in the sun, avoid the sun in a cool place, like human habits, like a comfortable environment. These young ladies have said it many times, and the maids are calloused when they hear it, but unfortunately the maids are clumsy and can't write, otherwise they can be silent. Hearing this, Yu Yu interrupted Xie Fanyan with a smile.
Xie Fanyan couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't follow the itch of the fat jade, "Okay, you are bold and fat, you dare to interrupt the young lady and me, and dare to think that Mrs. Ben is verbose, but there are more and more rules?" β
"The young lady spares her life, the young lady spares her life. The servant didn't dare. Fat Yu was itched by Xie Fanyan and lost her strength, and she was busy telling her to spare.
"The young lady hasn't finished talking yet, she just said that she met Concubine De. What does Concubine De look like, Mama Wei said that she was pregnant with a prince, but the gold is expensive. Seeing that Xie Fanyan was interrupted, Fat Rong was a little curious and asked.
Xie Fanyan put down the flower pot in his hand, thinking of Concubine De, and thinking of the slaps that Wei Hongyu had received. My heart was a little blocked, and the smile on my face disappeared all at once.
"What, is Concubine De embarrassed by the young lady?" Fat jade observes words and colors. Seeing Xie Fanyan's expression like this, he was afraid that Xie Fanyan would come back at a loss, so he was busy.
"It's not that I'm embarrassed." Xie Fanyan smiled reluctantly, "It's Mama Wei who is embarrassed." He said. I told the three girls about meeting Concubine De. Hearing this, the three girls were stunned and filled with righteous indignation.
"This palace is the backyard of the Son of Heaven, how could such a thing happen?"
"Yes, in broad daylight, she blatantly wronged people, our lady concubine is also pregnant, and the two ladies are of equal rank, why does Concubine De dare to bully people like this?"
"It's because it's in the palace that something like this happens." Xie Fanyan looked at the flower pot in a daze. His eyes were a little stunned, although his affection with Mama Wei was not very deep. But seeing her like that, I still feel a little concerned in my heart.
But then he looked at Lirong Yuyu and Xueru, "This palace is really not a good place, you have to remember, it's best to stay in this Fanghua Palace, don't go out if you can, you must go out and always repeat the rules and etiquette in your heart many times, don't bump into the nobles, let alone give people a handle to humiliate themselves, remember it clearly." β
"Yes." A few girls saw that Xie Fanyan was serious, and remembered what happened to Mama Wei today, so they nodded solemnly, "Remember it, you won't embarrass the young lady." β
"It's really not important to embarrass me, I'm afraid that you will be wronged and insulted, I think there are a lot of eyes staring at Fanghua Palace in this palace now, just because of the child in the belly of Concubine Shu, I hope we don't be affected by it."
"No, the lady concubine is the emperor's child in her belly, even if others are envious, what can they do, do they dare to fight any crooked ideas? It shouldn't involve us. Hearing this, Fatty Yu looked at Xie Fanyan with a little surprise.
Xie Fanyan smiled bitterly, "I hope we can be safe, just stay in this hall for a few months." β
"Compared with this, the maid is more worried about your belly, young lady, if you really stay for a long time, how can you hide it." Speaking of this, Xue Ru looked worried.
"It's okay, I already have a way, you can rest assured, I will tell you all when the time comes." Xie Fanyan looked at several girls and nodded at the same time, with a little anxious eyes, and said comfortingly.
As a few people were talking, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the voice of a small waiter outside came, "Mrs. Xie, Concubine Shu, please come over and speak." β
Xie Fanyan got up, "I know, I'll go." β
"Concubine Niangniang also said, bring Mrs. Xie and your close girls over to play, in short, don't be restrained."
"Okay, I got it."
"This lady is very kind, and she treats Mrs. well." Fat Rong said softly from the side.
Xie Fanyan glanced at Fat Rong, "When Concubine Niangniang was in the palace before, did you ever ask me half a sentence?" β
Fat Rong was stunned, and then shook his head, "No." β
"We were trapped in the Garden, I almost died, my reputation in the mansion was discredited, did Concubine Shu ask me?"
"Nope." Yu also shook her head.
"So it's not because of me that she's treating me well today."
"This maid understands that the lady lady looks at the young lady differently today because she thinks that the young lady has the heir of our palace in her belly." Xueru is quick to speak.
"Well, maybe it's the reason, it's not necessarily all, but you remember, there will be no one in this world who treats you well for no reason, there is a good saying, nothing to be courteous, either treachery or theft, although the words are a little extreme, but it makes sense, people who are good to you for no reason must have another purpose." Xie Fanyan looked at the expressions of a few girls who seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and sighed slightly, "As a maid, you do handle affairs in an orderly manner, but you are a little less knowledgeable, and you have never really seen the sinister world, so sometimes it is inevitable to be naΓ―ve, and in the future, you must learn a little more about the world, and investigate a little bit of human feelings, then you are really a qualified maid." "That way, maybe I can serve my sister better.
A few people nodded, a little ignorant. "Then what is the reason why the lady treats the young lady well? Is there a plot against the young lady? β
Xie Fanyan smiled, his smile was a little cold, "You are right." She really has plans for me, but you don't know. β
"We don't know......" Fat Rong repeated, and immediately raised his head, a little anxious and panicked: "Does the young lady know?" β
"I, of course, I know, but it's not time to tell you." Xie Fanyan smiled at them, "Okay." Let's go quickly, don't let the lady wait in a hurry, although she treats us politely. It's very polite, but we don't want to slack off because of that. β
Several maids were confused by Xie Fanyan's specious words, and when they heard this, they hurriedly hugged Xie Fanyan out of the side hall.
At the moment when Xie Fanyan stretched out his legs and stepped out of the side hall, he suddenly sighed leisurely in his heart.
Inexplicable sigh. suddenly melancholy Xie Fanyan's heart.
Is it my sister?
Since that day, my sister and herself met in a dream. I haven't felt the consciousness of my sister's remnant soul in this body for a long time.
This sigh was the first time.
Xie Fanyan couldn't help frowning, and his hand touched his chest, where his heart was beating.
"Sister, do you think I shouldn't be like this?"
"You shouldn't drag the people around you into the quagmire of human sophistication, my sister wants them to be clear forever."
"But, this can't be done, sister, I'm just too well protected by you. That's why I can't stand with you equally and share it with you. β
"How I want to be in the future. When you wake up, sister, you can have someone to stand with you and share the burden. β
Entering the main hall of Fanghua Palace, Xie Fanyan was led to the inner room where Concubine Shu was, and on the table was the medicine box that had been opened, and Concubine Shu was carefully rubbing the ointment on Wei Hongyu's face.
"Eldest sister." Xie Fanyan went in to salute Concubine Shu.
"Ayu is here?" Concubine Shu smiled, "Hurry up and find a place to sit, I'm taking medicine for Mama Wei, just now my maid Lian'er Peng'er is playing cards, let you girls also play, people's love always has to get along, you can't move around at will, it's boring to think about it in that side hall, it's better to talk to my sister, although my sister wants to make you more comfortable, but I don't want you and me to be estranged, don't complain about me." β
"What did the eldest sister say, how could I, I was really bored just now, and I talked to a few girls about going to see the queen today, I don't have much knowledge among these girls, and I can't compare to the people around my sister."
"Look at what you said, I see that the people around you are very smart, and I also heard what Mama Wei said, they are all very capable, no wonder my sister brought them all today."
"I'm pregnant, and there are more people to serve, so my sister must not blame." Xie Fanyan sat down casually, stroking his stomach at this time, with a smile on his eyebrows.
"How can you blame it, this is very likely to be the future son of the palace." Concubine Shu looked at the faces of several maids such as Liby Rong intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that their eyes couldn't help but drift to Xie Fanyan's stomach, her eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and she nodded slightly in her heart, "In that case, Lian'er, Peng'er, quickly bring them down to play, but don't bully others, I know that you guys are playing, you just love to play tricks." β
"Yes, yes! No matter how bad the servants are, they only dare to play in this palace, how embarrassed to throw this face outside, isn't that a slap in the face, the servants don't dare. A sharp-toothed little girl in blue said, stepped forward and took the hands of Fat Rong and Xueru, "A few sisters, let's go out and play." β
Fat Rong looked at Xie Fanyan, Xie Fanyan nodded in the direction of the three of them, "Go ahead, have fun, this is also a good intention of the mother, don't let it down." β
"Yes."
A few of them agreed, and they were led out.
The door of the inner room was closed, and only Xie Fanyan, Concubine Shu and Wei Hongyu were in the room.
Concubine Shu also took the medicine, and the long enamel inlaid gold wire armor stroked Wei Hongyu's slightly swollen cheeks, and regret flashed in her eyes, "This time it has affected Mama again." β
"When the mother says such a thing, she will see the outside, the servant has thick skin, and she can hold on to this." Wei Hongyu forced out a smile.
Xie Fanyan also sighed on the side, "I have long heard that it is not easy in the palace, but I really feel this way when I saw it today." β
"Silly girl, what you have seen, compared to the real filthy things in this palace, is just the tip of the iceberg, it's just the tip of the iceberg, you still don't know much about it, I know it's my fault for pulling you into this muddy water, but if you don't let you see it, how do you know my hard work, Ayu, you probably don't know, I have only one child in this life, and the hope of my life is all in this belly, you don't think I'm vicious, but I don't know the difficulties in my heart."
"How can the eldest sister say such a thing, the eldest sister is the most blessed person, a lifetime of children and grandchildren is endless, how can this only one child say such a depressing thing. The eldest sister is so young and beautiful, and she is favored by the emperor, how can she be just this child? Xie Fanyan said hurriedly.
Concubine Shu smiled a little sadly, shook her head, her eyes were a little red, and then she lowered her head again, and a crystal liquid slid down and fell into the placket of her clothes, silently.
"Ayu, you are willing to help you so much, how can I not be honest with you."
At the beginning of this, Xie Fanyan suddenly felt a little annoyed that she was talking too much, at this time, she didn't need Concubine Shu's honesty at all, she would be honest with her, and she would tell herself some unknown things, but she knew Concubine Shu's secret, would Concubine Shu relax her eyes on herself in the future?
I just left it, I originally planned to leave, but if my sister woke up, I couldn't bear Chen Jinyu...... I know my sister's affection for Chen Jinyu.
In that way, this lady concubine in the palace is afraid that she will not let herself go easily.
But now, even if you want to leave, it's hard to go.
I only heard Concubine Shu's voice and said slowly: "Although my status in the palace is prominent, I have had many disagreements with Concubine De, and the two of them are gradually incompatible in the palace. β
"Concubine De is pregnant, the queen mother and the emperor are very happy, and if Concubine De gives birth to a prince, she will make Concubine De a concubine."
"That's it, at most, I'm defeated, this is the destiny of heaven, but Concubine De is pregnant, and the emperor and the queen mother Chrysostom Yinuo, so she picks me everywhere in the palace, I can't hide from her for a while, I don't know how many times I was reprimanded by the queen mother, saying that I don't want to be arrogant and collide with Concubine De, in their eyes, I am from the palace, so I should be willful, and Concubine De is from a small family, that is, cautious, whenever there is any contradiction, they are always preconceived, even more so after Concubine De is pregnant."
"I was not convinced, I once slammed Concubine De in private, but Concubine De bluntly said that if she gave birth to a prince and was promoted to the position of concubine, I would not be able to, and there were a lot of bumps and bumps during the period, so that I could see Concubine De's real means, these will not tell you, it is also a taboo thing in the palace, I am really anxious, so I went to ask my grandmother, and my grandmother gave me a prescription to help me conceive successfully."
"However, that recipe is very effective, but it has a side effect, that is, you can only have one child in your life." (To be continued.) )
PS: Happy New Year!
