Chapter 469: Change
The next day was cloudy, with low clouds and winds in the middle of the night, and the temperature dropped sharply and much lower.
Last night, in order to reward Zhou Heng, Cui Keyin inevitably followed him a little, and got up late this morning. After breakfast, Lu Yingyu reported: "Niangniang, the eldest lady is here." ”
She has been busy for three days after returning to Beijing, and has not returned to Xinglin Hutong, and has only met Mrs. Zhang and Jiang Shixiang once on the day she was stationed outside the city. At that time, Mrs. Zhang and Jiang didn't tell her about Du Guo'er, but they must have known, but they just couldn't bear to tell her.
Although they were out of kindness, wanted to protect her, and wanted to take into account her feelings, she just didn't know about it, and she was killed by the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the fact that she has always been calm and does not reveal her feelings, she is afraid that she will lose her temper on the spot and fall into a laughing stock as the Queen Mother expects.
Cui Keyin understood their hard work, and could only smile bitterly.
She originally wanted to arrange the matter of worshipping the ancestors on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and go over, but she did not expect the Jiang family to come. I don't know what's going on?
"Auntie, please." Cui Keyin said: "Let the red beans make a few snacks that my grandmother likes to eat, and ask her to bring them back." ”
Lu Ying responded, and went to handle it herself.
When the curtain was raised, a palace man happened to come to the door, and only came in after Lu Ying went out, and said, "Niangniang, Du Shi asks to see you." After thinking about it, he said, "She came here at the hour and has been waiting outside." ”
It was Du Guoer who handed the golden hairpin to the palace people. The name of this palace person is Chrysanthemum, she was originally a palace person from Anhua Palace, and after Cui Keyin chose Anhua Palace as her dormitory, she was retained. However, she couldn't go into the house, just did some errands. Lu Ying instructed her to pass the word and ask Du Guoer to move over.
Last night, no one in Anhua Palace paid attention to Du Guoer, completely treating her as air. She thought about it all night, and got up early in the morning to look for chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum's status in Anhua Palace is low, and she didn't expect that one day someone would hand something to her, it was still red gold, and the excitement in her heart could be imagined. For the sake of the beautifully made red gold hairpin. She had the audacity to come and report it.
However, Lu Ying's slightly raised eyebrows when she left still scared her, and she didn't dare to go in. Just say it at the door.
Cui Keyin glanced at her strangely and said, "The palace is not free, let her go back." And he said, "Onyx, you teach her the rules of the palace." ”
Agate responded, taking the chrysanthemum away.
Jiang is here. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Cui Keyin to send the waiters out.
Cui Keyin asked everyone to go out, leaving only Lu Ying to wait, served tea, and said, "The eldest aunt's breath is unstable, but she has encountered a big event?" ”
Could it be that Du Shilang made a move on Cui Zhenyi? Or is Cui Zhenyi in trouble?
Jiang Shi took Cui Keyin's hand and said, "My son, your uncle and I both know that you have been wronged, but he is the emperor, how can there be any reason not to accept a concubine?" Since ancient times, how can there be an emperor who does not accept concubines? You're so stubborn. ”
Is this what it means to persuade her to obey? Cui Keyin said: "The eldest aunt said slowly, what happened? ”
Overnight. What made Jiang look haggard and his eyes were black?
Jiang sighed: "Last night, Du Shilang came to the door with Jing Tiao to plead guilty, and begged us to intercede with you on his behalf, so that you don't embarrass them." Your eldest uncle didn't want to agree to him, but everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and ......" She seemed to be very embarrassed, paused, and then said: "He is right, the queen mother is the emperor's mother-in-law, and she occupies great righteousness." Who dares to disobey the emperor's choice of concubine? He just didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's decree, so he had no choice but to send his daughter into the palace. ”
is a good Du Jialang who can bend and stretch and be eloquent, Cui Keyin sneered: "So the eldest aunt entered the palace today, just to let me persuade the emperor." Retract the will? Didn't the eldest uncle and aunt think about why what the emperor did, as long as they didn't agree, imposed it on me? If you are an official in the same dynasty, can you take away someone's husband? ”
Jiang Shi let out a long sigh again and said, "Your eldest uncle can't get in the way. I had to say yes. But when your grandmother heard about it, she called your great uncle over and scolded him, and punished him for kneeling in the courtyard for an hour. When I entered the palace today, it was your grandmother who ordered me to tell you about the situation. Du Shilang, it's not simple. ”
What Du Shilang did was just a gentleman who could deceive him, change the concept secretly, and move Cui Zhenyi with emotion.
Cui Keyin's heart warmed and said, "Thank you, grandmother." They always say that the emperor is the king of the sage, and if the king of the sage does something that dissatisfies them, it must be instigated by me. This incident has doubled the pressure on my uncle and aunt, and it is not mine. ”
Du Shilang did not enter the palace to intercede, but went to Cui Zhenyi, which had a problem in itself. He was putting pressure on Cui Keyin and dragging Cui Zhenyi into this matter.
Jiang said: "What you said, we are a family, and we should support each other." Your eldest uncle wrote a letter to Du Shilang overnight, showing the Cui family's loyalty to the emperor. ”
Cui Keyin smiled and said, "That's good." ”
In this era of the supremacy of monarchy, they can't do anything about Zhou Heng, but they will only push the matter on her, and it is too despicable to attack her and her mother's family.
After Jiang left, Cui Keyin called Du Guoer and said, "There are rules in the palace, you have to enter the palace, you must abide by the rules." The women in the palace are all the emperor's concubines, who the emperor wants to seal, the palace has no two words, only with seals. Do you understand? ”
Du Guo'er lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and said, "The courtier understands. ”
Cui Keyin smiled: "Since you call yourself a courtier, you must not have understood." He said to Lu Ying: "You come to teach her." ”
Lu Ying came out in response and said, "When you first entered the palace, you naturally started as a palace maid with no grade, so you should call yourself a slave." The people who serve in close proximity here are all people who have come to marry. You just entered the palace, and you should have done rough work. Since the mother herself commanded, I think she should wait in my room first. After my training, there is always a chance to wait in front of my mother. ”
Listening to her, Du Guoer doesn't have to do rough work, and she has to thank Cui Keyin.
Du Guo'er was taken aback, took a step back, and said, "Palace maid? ”
The daughter of her dignified three-grade master, to do those cheap jobs waiting for people?
"Otherwise, do you think that when you enter the palace, you have to have someone to provide for you?" Lu Ying smiled kindly like a spring breeze and said, "It's a little late for you to enter the palace at your age. Alas, I don't know if I can adjust it. ”
The palace attendants in the room all showed mocking smiles, and Pearl said, "Looking at her stupid appearance, it is estimated that she will be very stupid." Sister Lu Ying, what do you want to be a fool? ”
The whole room laughed when he said this sentence, and in the laughter, Du Guoer cried bitterly. She entered the palace as a concubine, and the Queen Mother was one of the four concubines who allowed her, how did she become a palace maid?
"Yesterday, that aunt asked me to come over, saying that Niangniang asked her to prepare the dormitory, and canonized me as a beauty in the near future......" Du Guoer whimpered: "Why did Niangniang let me do cheap labor?" (To be continued.) )
