Chapter 146: Understanding

After sorting out my thoughts, the new story continues~

Thinking of this, Xie Fanyan couldn't help but feel a little excited, but just smiled lightly: "How many years ago, I almost forgot the past." ”

"Madame is really humble." The two of them complimented again, and Xie Fanyan had to hold up a smile and respond a few words.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu broke the siege in time, "Ayu just arrived today, but is she tired?" Let's go and rest first, remember to let them make you a basin of hot water, soak well, and relax your body. ”

"The courtiers also think so, and the courtiers will retire first." Xie Fanyan couldn't ask for it, got up and bent over, greeted Concubine Shu and the two beauties, and then retreated with Fat Rong and the others.

Returning to the side hall, Xie Fanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly became familiar with this originally unfamiliar place, let Lirong Liyu boil water, take a comfortable bath, the three girls came to the palace for the first time, they were very surprised by everything, and they couldn't be quiet for a minute.

"Young lady, look at this side hall, it is much bigger than your house in the garden."

"Young lady, come and see, this jade carving is so big, bigger than the jade Guanyin in the old lady's house."

"Young lady, this curtain is actually foggy and light yarn forging, this satin is so expensive, it is hanging casually on the window of a side hall, it is too luxurious."

Xie Fanyan is not the first time to come here, but Xie Fanyan has no intention of looking at the prosperity and delicacy in this Fanghua Palace, the palace has never been a good place, and now that Concubine Shu is pregnant, I am afraid that it will also be the target of public criticism, how can I live with Concubine Shu without being implicated?

I never thought about it before. Even a few days ago, I wouldn't really worry about the future, this body is like a leaf drifting, and it's a big deal to fake my death and escape in the end. Hidden in the market, why care if you have offended anyone, after all, your real goal is in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

But now, he had to be careful and worried about every step he took, Xie Fanyan approached the flower pot that was placed in front of the bed, touched and looked at it, and his eyes were relieved and sad. Because my sister is coming back.

So live your life as best you can and try not to leave any mess for your sister if you can. I have to work hard to find a shelter for my sister, if my sister is reluctant to leave the palace because she is reluctant to Chen Jinyu, then she has to prevent the two princesses of the eldest princess's mansion.

"Pack your things and go. Then rest early. Xie Fanyan instructed the three girls to go down. I closed the door to my room.

This room is indeed large, and Xie Fanyan bypassed the two screens.

Changed his clothes and pressed his chest, a book that was warmed by Xie Fanyan reminded Xie Fanyan of the existence of the book, Xie Fanyan calmed down, since he knew that this Buddhist scripture was something that the eldest princess wanted to get with all her might, this Buddhist scripture was taken down from the bookshelf by Xie Fanyan and carried it closely. or tie it around your waist, or hide it in your heart. In short, he didn't dare to let it leave him half a step away.

No matter what the secret is, Xie Fanyan knows that this is the only bargaining chip that her sister can put forward in the future, which can destroy or save her life.

My sister is so smart that she must know how to do it.

What you have to do is to ensure that it cannot be lost.

Tomorrow, tomorrow...... Xie Fanyan thought about it, changed his clothes and went out again, the two beauties had already left, the lights in the palace of the concubine were still on, and as soon as he went out, a little waiter who looked quite clever stepped forward, "Madam, where are you going?" If there is any errand work, just order it directly. ”

Xie Fanyan glanced at him, "I want to find Aunt Wei, you can help me call her over." ”

"Aunt Wei?" The little chamberlain repeated it strangely, and then said with a smile: "Madame is looking for Mama Wei, you go in first, and the little one will summon Mama Wei for you." ”

Yes, this is the palace, Wei Hongyu is not Wei Hongyu, nor Aunt Wei, but Mama Wei of Fanghua Palace in the palace.

"Well, it's her, you can go."

After speaking, Xie Fanyan took out a few pieces of broken silver from his cuffs and handed them to the little waiter, who hurriedly refused, "Madame, don't be like this, running errands for Madame is a job ordered by the mother, and if this thing is not done well, where do you dare to take Madame's reward." ”

Xie Fanyan was not reluctant, withdrew his hand, and thanked him, the little chamberlain looked very happy, and went quickly, and Xie Fanyan turned around and went back to the hall.

"Young lady, but you have changed places and slept soundly?" Fat Rong saw Xie Fanyan and asked.

Xie Fanyan pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, it's always a little unsteady, and I don't understand many things in this palace, so I don't feel uneasy and I still plan to call Mama Wei over to ask." ”

"It really should be, that maid and young lady listen to Mama Wei's words together, although I originally wanted to stay in this Fanghua Palace and not go out, but I don't know how long I want to live, there is always a time to go out, don't cause anything wrong with the young lady and the lady concubine when the time comes."

In fact, the rules of the palace, when Xie Fanyan was not there, Zhi Rong and the others pulled Wei Hongyu and asked a lot, lest something go wrong, but now that they have really entered the palace, they still feel like in a dream, they only feel that they have not heard enough outside the palace, and they want to listen to Wei Hongyu again.

Wei Hongyu came soon, Xie Fanyan brought Fat Rong and Wei Hongyu to his house together, the lights were bright, Wei Hongyu looked at Xie Fanyan with a somewhat restrained gaze.

"Mama Wei, I haven't heard you say anything about this palace, today you tell me clearly, the temperament of the ladies in this harem, and the things I need to know. Xie Fanyan said very slowly, looking at Wei Hongyu.

Wei Hongyu showed a look of relief on her face, and said "okay" repeatedly.

As early as when she was in the palace, Wei Hongyu wanted to take a chance to talk to Xie Fanyan about the things in the palace, but seeing that Xie Fanyan didn't seem to be here, she didn't worry about anything because she was going to enter the palace.

Therefore, although he had the intention to talk about it, he was afraid that Xie Fanyan would not listen to it, and even afraid that he would be mistaken for showing off or establishing rules, so Wei Hongyu never mentioned it.

Now Xie Fanyan brought it up. Just right.

So for most of the night, Wei Hongyu told Xie Fanyan and Fat Rong in detail about the general situation of the entire harem, and the emperor was easy-going and magnanimous. He has a very strong relationship with the queen Xiao, and the emperor has a prince, and he is also the only son of the emperor now, so the queen has an unshakable majestic position in the harem, but only among the concubines, after all, there is an eldest princess outside the palace, and there is a queen mother in the palace.

Among the four concubines, Concubine Weide and Concubine Shu are the most popular. Usually the emperor has more favors, and they are all pregnant, so their identities are naturally even higher. The queen mother is most looking forward to the emperor being able to spread out the leaves, and the mood of looking forward to her grandson is very urgent, and she has hinted that whoever gives birth to the prince of the two concubines will give the position of concubine above the four concubines under the queen. So since a few days ago, a doctor diagnosed the pulse and found out that Concubine De's belly was very likely to be a male fetus. The popularity of Concubine De in the palace is obviously warm, and they all run to Concubine De's Changqiu Palace very diligently.

In addition to Concubine De, Concubine Hu, one of the four concubines, also has a very strong position, because she has the blue eyes of the Queen Mother, and the reason why she can get the Blue Eyes of the Queen Mother is inseparable from Princess Ruizhu born to the Hu family, it can be said that Princess Ruizhu is the most beloved granddaughter of the Queen Mother in this harem.

Wei Hongyu talked carefully all night, and Xie Fanyan listened very carefully. Fat Rong also nods frequently, and they are all smart people. Knowing the complex context of this harem is related to the prosperity and decline of a palace.

In the end, Fat Rong couldn't help asking, "It is said that the four concubines are all the masters of the same palace, except for the lady concubine Niangniang, there are two or three low-level ladies living in each palace, why is the Fanghua Palace of the lady concubine so big, but the lady concubine lives alone?" ”

Wei Hongyu was silent for a moment when she heard this question, compared to the previous Zhiwu and endless words, the silence at this time seemed abrupt and obscure.

Fat Rong hurriedly covered his mouth: "But I asked the wrong question?" ”

Wei Hongyu shook her head, her gaze looked beyond the window and the hazy moonlight looked like a dream through the curtain woven of light gauze and satin in this side hall, blurring the face.

Wei Hongyu's eyes were a little ethereal, and a little jealous.

"I say to you today, that you must not speak again." After talking all night, the relationship between several people seemed to be much closer, and Wei Hongyu reused the more cordial "you and me" at Xie Fanyan's request.

"In this palace, there have been people, and the one who died is still the favorite woman of the first emperor, I heard that she was killed by someone, and the death was extremely miserable, and the first emperor knew that the liver and intestines were broken, and the palace was closed for a time, but now the saint is on the throne, and the Fanghua Palace has been reopened, and it is also a coincidence, so the lady concubine Niangniang lived in."

"Huh? This palace is so big, didn't you just say that there are a lot of vacant palaces, because today's saint is much tighter than the former queen's palace, but why do you want to reopen the palace of the dead and let our lady live in? When Fat Rong heard this story, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart and shouted.

"I don't know this, this palace was arranged by the lady concubine as soon as she came in, and I don't know whose will it was, we didn't know so much when we came in, I saw that this palace was exquisite and spacious, and I liked it very much, and it was also because I heard it from the queen's mouth later, it should be that the mother was calculated behind her back, but I don't know who it is."

"Later, the emperor and Niangniang said a few times to change positions, but now the closest and best location to the emperor is this Fanghua Palace, Niangniang is not a taboo person, and she refused the emperor's kindness when she is used to living, except that the rumors are a little bad, this is really a good place, and there are no new people living in it over the years, and we are also clean."

These words were very strange, and Mama Wei probably felt that she couldn't convince Xie Fanyan, so she smiled a little apologetically, "I really know so much, I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, but after so many years, there is nothing bad, but it is slowly forgotten." ”

It's very wrong.

There are very few people who have the power to decide the palace of the concubine, who would make such an arrangement, and what is the intention?

Since Concubine Shu has lived in the palace for so long, nothing has happened, and she is favored, why are there no other concubines living in, the location here is good, the key is that it is close to the emperor's Zhengde Palace, there are so many people in the palace, Concubine De has the highest prestige, Concubine Hu has the support of the Queen Mother, and there are many small and powerful concubines, are they all indifferent to this Fanghua Palace? Let Concubine Shu occupy the most advantageous position and be at ease?

However, it's none of your business.

"I understand, there is Mama Lao Wei today, it's not early, go back and rest quickly, I'm tired too." Xie Fanyan pondered and said to Wei Hongyu.

"Okay, it's my inconsiderate thinking, it's time for Madame to rest, what is the need, or there is someone in the palace who is not satisfied, although Madame is looking for Niangniang, or coming to me, I will definitely try to make Madame live at ease." Wei Hongyu said and got up.

"Okay."

Xie Fanyan asked Fat Rong to send Wei Hongyu out of the palace gate, took off the hairpin ornament by himself, and lay on the bed with a full stomach, sometimes looking at the flower pot that he had put on the shallow corridor of the Qiangong Babu bed, sometimes thinking about what Wei Hongyu said to himself today, and slowly went through the rank and prestige of these women in the harem in his heart, and fell asleep in a daze.

On the second day, Xie Fanyan woke up very early, the sky was not bright, Xie Fanyan tossed and turned but couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply got up, washed himself in the house with cold water, and then pulled his hair into a bun at will, and then carefully watered the flowers in the corridor with the remaining water, and finally stayed by the window, blowing the wind, watching the sky slowly light up little by little.

It's just that he is not the first person to wake up in this hall, Xie Fanyan pushed open the window and saw that there were already people in the courtyard with sleepy eyes open and began to be busy for a busy day, and when his eyes touched Xie Fanyan's gaze, he suddenly shrank, bowed his head and said hello, and then hurriedly went to work again.

suddenly asked himself, if he changed places and became the most humble maid in this palace, how long would he be able to endure such a hard life?

Then Xie Fanyan was a little happy, and suddenly sighed, don't complain about your own hardship, there are always people who are more miserable than you.

Don't think that what you suffer is the most suffering.

The most bitter thing in this world is not the environment, but the mentality.

After breakfast, Concubine Shu said to Xie Fanyan: "Ayu, we don't have to go to other places, but you just came, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother always want to meet, I went to the Queen Mother last morning to see it, she said to summon you in a few days, then you go with me to the Queen Mother today to say goodbye." ”

Xie Fanyan was stunned, "Isn't it past the point to greet the queen?" She remembered that Wei Hongyu said yesterday that she would have to go before breakfast to invite the queen's mother, and then sit down and come back for dinner.

Concubine Shu smiled, "I'm pregnant now, and I'm allowed not to go to say hello early every day, so I had breakfast with you, and I thought that the people in Weiyang Palace should also disperse at this time, so we can go and talk to the queen mother." (To be continued.) )
