Chapter 147: The Queen
Xie Fanyan lowered his head and remembered Wei Hongyu's words yesterday, the queen mother has always been magnanimous and generous, and she is quite considerate and caring for the concubine, so the concubine is also very close to the queen mother.
Seeing that Xie Fanyan was silent, Concubine Shu thought that Xie Fanyan didn't like the harem and had to deal with it or was worried about the embarrassment of the queen mother, so she hurriedly comforted: "Ayumo has to worry, the queen mother is a charitable person, and the queen is also very gentle and generous, I won't embarrass you, let's sit down for a while and come back, after all, you still have one in your belly, they are the people in charge of the harem, and we can't be lazy in etiquette." ”
At the mention of this belly matter, Xie Fanyan felt a slight stab in his heart, a little panicked, but he still smiled, "I understand, Sister Shufei, I don't worry about this, I don't feel troubled, don't worry too much about me." ”
"That's good, I already knew that you were a well-versed child." Concubine Shu smiled easily, "Actually, you know these things and these words of these people in the harem, so it's quite interesting to take a look and listen." Said interestingly, but his expression was a little gloomy, "In the end, they are all people who have to be in the middle of a lifetime, I look at them coldly and fighting, sometimes it's really boring, but in fact, everyone just wants to live in the end." ”
Interesting, but also uninteresting.
On the surface, this sentence is very contradictory, but Xie Fanyan unexpectedly understood, understood, but could only be silent, how could he let himself beak in the affairs of the harem, but the trace of disgust towards Concubine Shu miraculously subsided.
Although what she did was still very unacceptable to Xie Fanyan, she understood Concubine Shu's suffering. didn't think that this suffering was enough to make her do something like abandoning her own flesh and blood, confusing the royal bloodline, and implicating the family. But I agreed to this matter, and I agreed to it out of selfishness, not because I was forced, but I couldn't resist the temptation of the old lady to offer interest conditions.
Since you agreed, why hate it, and since you agreed, why bother with the same concubine who did such a thing out of selfishness.
There is something hateful about the wretched.
They are all wretched. There is also something hateful.
Even if you can't huddle together to keep warm and lick each other's wounds, at least you should understand each other. Don't let yourself be a problem for the other person.
Xie Fanyan's mood suddenly opened up and suddenly brightened.
What's more, being good friends with Concubine Shu will also be beneficial to my sister in the future.
Thinking about it, Xie Fanyan took the initiative to take Concubine Shu's hand. "Eldest sister. You seem to have told me that I can call you eldest sister? ”
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, didn't her younger brother and sister always treat her with politeness and dignity, so that Concubine Shu was not at ease with Xie Fanyan for a while, for fear that she would have to accept this matter due to the pressure of her grandmother, and she would not be willing to do her best about it. But she was only stunned for a moment, and then Concubine Shu was very pleased to hold Xie Fanyan's hand, "I said it a long time ago." You are the same as Jinyu, just call me eldest sister. ”
"I know how hard the eldest sister is in the harem. Don't worry, what I can do, what I can help, I will spare no effort to do it, I will not regret it, and I will not affect the eldest sister and the royal family! Xie Fanyan approached Concubine Shu, smelled the faint incense on Concubine Shu's collar, and said in a low and firm voice.
"If you understand me, my good sister! I've always been worried that you won't understand. Concubine Shu quickly accepted Xie Fanyan's words, and her eyes turned red, "I know that if I do this, I'm sorry for my sister, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the palace, but, but, if you stay with me for a while, you will understand, my sister really has no other room, if Concubine De succeeds, then there will be no place for my sister in this palace, let alone the meat in my sister's belly!" ”
This is just an exaggeration, at most many people can't go further, in the end, it is one of the four concubines, how can there be no place for it.
Xie Fanyan didn't believe it, but he believed it in his eyes, and his eyes were open to Concubine Shang's eyes, "Eldest sister, don't worry!" My sister is not a person who doesn't know what to do. ”
The two women clasped hands together and smiled at each other.
Weiyang Palace, from the surface of the majestic atmosphere, the palace servants than Fanghua Palace more than double, sprinkled sweeping people are all well-behaved, no head to ear, neat and orderly.
Concubine Shu and Xie Fanyan got off their shoulders, Concubine Shu took Xie Fanyan's hand, walked past the palace maid standing on the side with her head held high, and walked straight to Weiyang Palace, Weiyang Palace is very large, but it is very quiet, the quiet atmosphere makes Xie Fanyan feel a little nervous, Concubine Shu seems to feel it, smiled at Xie Fanyan encouragingly, and then whispered: "When I first came here, I was also very nervous, but I was made by this quiet atmosphere, and I felt uncomfortable walking. ”
Xie Fanyan couldn't help laughing, and most of his nervousness went away, "I know, it's just that I'm not used to it, so many people are staring." ”
The two of them were talking, and their footsteps had already passed through the main hall, and the queen got a notice and sent a palace maid with good clothes and temperament to come out to greet them, and took the two of them in with a smile.
"There's Aunt Lao Qiushui." As soon as she entered the hall, Concubine Shu smiled and said to the palace maid.
The palace maid was also very kind to Concubine Shu, and glanced at Xie Fanyan, "This is the younger brother and sister who has always been close to Niangniang, Mrs. Xie of Changkang Palace?" ”
"Exactly."
"Then congratulations to the mother, now you can raise the baby with peace of mind, and give birth to a dragon son for the emperor and Jokhang."
"Borrowing Aunt Qiushui's auspicious words, I hope so." Concubine Shu pursed her lips.
The queen has just eaten, when Concubine Shu and Xie Fanyan went in, the emperor was wiping his hands with a handkerchief, every finger was wiped very seriously, wearing a blue brocade dress with hollow embroidered peonies and golden phoenixes, the hair bun was simple, and there was no cumbersome decoration as Xie Fanyan imagined, the complexion was white and simple, and there was no wealth and roundness as Xie Fanyan imagined, but he was a thin person, with delicate facial features and a slightly cold complexion.
Just glanced at it, Xie Fanyan immediately lowered his head and followed Concubine Shu and said, "The courtiers greet the queen." ”
"Get up, you both have money, watch your bodies." The voice is surprisingly gentle and nice.
"Empress Xie."
Xie Fanyan and Concubine Shu got up together, "You can have a meal, do you want to use some together?" ”
Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "No need, the concubine and her younger siblings came after dinner." ”
Saying that, Concubine Shu and Xie Fanyan sat down on the side, and the queen saw that the two of them had eaten, so she glanced at the palace maids around her, and one of the palace maids stepped forward with four maids who were further away, and quietly removed the things on the table in front of the queen.
"Mrs. Xie, long time no see." When everything was cleared, the queen spoke.
Xie Fanyan was a little stunned all of a sudden, my sister and this queen turned out to be old acquaintances!
"I haven't seen you at the palace banquet in the past two years, I remember that Hui Shizi took you into the palace to participate in the palace banquet for several years, people always said that you fell out of favor, and the rumors were boiling, and the palace also heard about it, and then I didn't expect you to be pregnant, breaking the rumors, it can be seen that some things are true and false, and they are exaggerated, but after a long time, the fake will always be self-defeating."
What the queen said was quite emotional, her voice was surprisingly good, soft, and very useful in her heart.
Xie Fanyan was clear about the front edge, and said: "It's hard for the queen to remember the courtiers." Let the courtiers be terrified. ”
"This palace has been in the palace all these years, and the Communist Party has seen so many people, and it is difficult to forget them, not to mention that Concubine Shu often mentions you to this palace, and after mentioning too much, she always wants to see you." There was a faint smile in the queen's words, "You just look up, just get along with me normally, this palace is not afraid of anyone's eyes colliding with this palace, not to mention that this is just an ordinary relationship, don't be restrained." ”
"Yes." Xie Fanyan replied briefly, slowly raised his head, and looked directly at the queen, just in time to see the queen looking at him with a little curiosity and inquiry.
His face still felt cold, but his eyes were warm.
The concubine next to her smiled: "Queen Mother, don't always keep a strained face, scare Ayu, she doesn't know that your face is cold, and she thinks you are holding a shelf." ”
The queen smiled when she heard this, and when she smiled, she only felt that the ice and snow melted, the spring flowers bloomed, and the icebergs melted in the spring light.
It's not like a concubine who often smiles and has affection in her eyebrows.
"The palace has forgotten, it has always been this problem, and the face is expressionless, Concubine Shu knows the palace."
"Naturally, I know that the queen mother is the kindest person in this harem." Concubine Shu tilted her head at Xie Fanyan, her tone was affectionate, and her eyes flashed with a bit of happiness and joy, which could be seen to be sincere.
"The two of you can be a companion with peace of mind, wait for childbirth in your Fanghua Palace, and give birth to a white and fat boy when the time comes, whether you two are in the palace or in the palace, you can enjoy endless blessings, what is there to take care of not enough care, don't come to the palace, personally go to train those people under you, so that they don't dare to have the last time, and they know that they are powerful."
"Niangniang rest assured, no one under the bottom is disrespectful to my sister now, and she is very thoughtful, and it is also because of the last time Niangniang personally spoke, even if they dare to slack off their sister, will they still snub the queen's sister?"
"You girl." Queen Xiao smiled again, but she just pursed her lips, and faded before she could unfold, "This mouth loves to say, this palace is for your good, and you still come to arrange this palace." ”
"How dare my sister?"
Xie Fanyan looked at the two of them, and the tension in his heart slowly dissipated, and he had a good impression of this queen, at least this is not a person who will hold a shelf and make people feel depressed.
"By the way, a few days ago, I heard that Concubine De Niangniang was diagnosed as a little prince, what about you, when will you also find the imperial doctor to see if you can see men and women, peace of mind."
Concubine Shu's eyes flashed, and she said: "There is no need for concubines, these children and daughters are all destined by heaven, and it is not good to know the destiny of heaven early, not to mention that as long as it is born for the emperor, both men and women, must be rich and noble, but they are all children of the heavenly family, I just hope that when the time comes, the queen mother, you must not be partial to the little prince, and the little princess who neglects her sister is good."
