Chapter 65: Moving Things
The queen said, "Lan Ping, it's really as you guessed." The emperor has already found out that Bai Guifei did it. However, for the sake of the future plan and the stability of the Bai family, the emperor did not give Bai Guifei to death, but punished her so lightly, executed one of her palace people, punished her grounding, and made her lose face. ”
"Sure enough, the emperor still focuses on the overall situation. In this way, the emperor knows it, and Concubine Wang Xian must also know. That Concubine Wang Xian is not a forbearant master, she sees that the emperor has not sent down the white concubine, and she will definitely find a way by herself. In the past few days, you have been paying close attention to Concubine Wang Xian. By the way, go and reward her with some medicinal herbs to express the palace's concern for her. ”
Lan Ping understood, hurriedly took the order, took the things, and went to the palace of Concubine Wang Xian.
In Concubine Wang Xian's palace, there was a gloomy atmosphere. Concubine Wang Xian was not full of pearls and emeralds as in the past, but was dressed in white, with a pale face, no expression, just blindly holding the shoes of the second prince.
Lan Ping read out the queen's decree and gave the reward to the palace maid beside Concubine Wang Xian, but Concubine Wang Xian did not accept the decree, nor did she kneel, she still held the shoes of the second prince and remained motionless.
Lan Ping is not surprised, Concubine Wang Xian has been like this for a long time. She gave things and said a few good words, comforted Concubine Wang Xian's palace maids and eunuchs, and instructed them to serve Concubine Wang Xian well, find a way to let Concubine Wang Xian eat something, and then go back to the queen's palace.
After Lan Ping left, Wang Yaozhen's palace maid Cui Dai stepped forward to comfort Wang Yaozhen and said, "Niangniang, you can eat something." It's always like this the body will cross. The emperor has also sent people a few times, and the queen has also sent people to comfort you many times. Cheer up. The queen is right, the mother is still young, and she can give birth to the emperor again. Please mourn on Mother's Day. The second prince must not want Niangniang to be like this. ”
Wang Yaozhen said coldly: "Cui Dai stays, and the rest of the people go out." ”
The room where they were waiting went out at once. Cui Dai was a little surprised, after so many days, after the second prince went, Concubine Wang Xian has been in a state of trance, holding the shoes of the second prince without losing it. I don't even eat or freshen up. I haven't even spoken to you. Just in the beginning. Tell yourself to check. Let's see who killed the second prince.
At that time, she dismissed the people around Concubine Wang Xian and quietly told Concubine Wang Xian that it was the second prince killed by Concubine Bai. Concubine Wang Xian was just crying vigorously and did not speak.
Afterward. No matter what news Cui Dai came to report to Concubine Wang Xian. She didn't even speak. As if it wasn't heard.
Even if the emperor sent someone and the queen sent someone, Concubine Wang Xian would not speak.
Until today. I told her that the emperor killed Bai Guifei's palace people with a cane and punished Bai Guifei for three months, and Concubine Wang Xian cried with a burst of lungs. After crying, it was like this again.
Now she actually took the initiative to ask everyone in the palace to go out and leave herself, could it be that Concubine Wang Xian figured it out?
Cui Dai has served Concubine Wang Xian since she was a child. All the way from the Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River to follow Concubine Wang Xian into the palace of the county king, then into the palace of the capital, into the East Palace, and then into the palace, Concubine Wang Xian also went all the way from the concubine, to Liangdi, to one of the four concubines, Concubine Xian, she herself became a big palace maid with a head and a face in the palace.
Cui Dai and Wang Xianfei's relationship is the most real. Concubine Wang Xian treats her very well and trusts her very much. She is also very loyal to Concubine Wang Xian. When the second prince had an accident, Cui Dai was also very sad, but she was even more anxious that Concubine Wang Xian practiced her body like this. If it weren't for the ginseng sent by the queen's mother, Concubine Wang Xian, who had not eaten for a few days, would have died.
Cui Dai is anxious for this, not to mention how anxious.
Now, Concubine Wang Xian has the possibility of cheering up, how can Cui Dai not be surprised.
However, after Concubine Wang Xian waited for everyone to go out, she said to Cui Dai: "Cui Dai, I have always treated you as a sister. I have several younger sisters in my family, and my relationship with them is not as deep as yours. ”
As soon as she said this, Cui Dai was moved for a while and said, "Niangniang slave maid, slave maid knows." Even if the slave is broken to pieces, she can't repay it. ”
Concubine Wang Xian shook her head and said, "No, you don't have to repay me. It's because I can't stand you, and I haven't done you any good for serving me for so many years. In the future, if I have three longs and two shorts, you probably won't have a way to live in the palace. In this way, I can't help you. ”
Cui Dai's tears came out immediately, and she hurriedly said: "Niangniang must not say such a thing, Niangniang's phoenix will get better, Niangniang will give birth to a prince for the emperor in the future, give birth to a princess, Niangniang's good days are still ahead, and the slave and maid will follow Niangniang to enjoy happiness." ”
Concubine Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have a future." I was originally mediocre, I was able to marry the emperor, be a concubine to the emperor, be favored by the emperor, and give birth to a second prince, is it because the emperor likes me? It's because my mother's family has money and can help the emperor. Later, the emperor got the world and didn't need my maiden family anymore. My mother's family was also out of luck. The reason why I was not given death like Li Shuyu and can still be a virtuous concubine is not because I gave birth to a second prince for the emperor? The emperor let me be a concubine only in front of the child. ”
"For so many years, although I am a virtuous concubine, have you ever seen the emperor favor me? When I was in the prime of my cardamom years, I couldn't keep the emperor, and now that I'm old, the palace is full of young and beautiful beauties, and I don't have a family to rely on, how can the emperor still spoil me? How can I still give birth to a prince, a princess? ”
"I know my own business, I'm done."
After saying this, Concubine Wang Xian was already out of breath and couldn't move there.
Cui Dai's heart is like a knife, because what Concubine Wang Xian said is true, and the possibility that Concubine Wang Xian wants to make a comeback is basically gone. After all, there are so many beauties in the palace, and Concubine Wang Xian's appearance is far from them.
How could the emperor still look down on Concubine Wang Xian?
However, thinking so, Cui Dai didn't want Concubine Wang Xian to think like this, she was busy supporting Concubine Wang Xian, and said: "Niangniang is too worried, as long as Niangniang takes care of her body, everything will be fine." ”
Concubine Wang Xian gasped for a while and said, "My body is not good." However, I still have business to do. Cui Dai, go get me some porridge to eat. Then bring me the ginseng soup that the queen mother gave me. ”
Cui Dai was very happy when she heard that Concubine Wang Xian took the initiative to eat and drink medicine, and she was busy passing the meal, and after a while, these were all served.
Cui Dai personally served Concubine Wang Xian with porridge. After eating the porridge, the weak Concubine Wang Xian was much better. His face was also ruddy. Concubine Wang Xian rested for a while and drank ginseng soup again. After all, it is a five-hundred-year-old ginseng soup, and even those who are dying can take a breath.
After Concubine Wang Xian finished drinking, she immediately felt much better, and her face became ruddy. Concubine Wang Xian said, "Cui Dai, freshen up for me." ”
Cui Dai is even happier, so it seems that Concubine Wang Xian has really figured it out. Cui Dai hurriedly prepared the fragrant soup for bathing, served Concubine Wang Xian to bathe and change clothes, washed her hair, dried her hair with a good cotton cloth, and waited for her hair to dry thoroughly while putting on makeup for Concubine Wang Xian.
After all, her body has not recovered, and Concubine Wang Xian's face is very unsightly, and she looks very haggard.
Concubine Wang Xian looked at herself in the mirror and said to Cui Dai: "Your hair hasn't dried yet, you don't have to worry about me first, just let the little palace maid serve me." You go and take out all my stuff and take an inventory. ”
Cui Dai is stunned, what does this mean?
Concubine Wang Xian said, "You brought all my things and moved them over." Big guys, like furniture, screens, etc., don't have to move over, bring the account book. The rest, including bottles, head jewelry, fabrics, and clothes, were all brought over. The eunuchs were told to clean up all the furniture in this room and remove all the things so that they could make room for them. ”
Cui Dai is even more unsure of what this means, who will move everything out of the warehouse? It's not the season yet.
Seeing that Cui Dai didn't act, Concubine Wang Xian was a little impatient and said, "Is it that the palace has lost power, you don't have to listen to the words of the palace?" ”
Although Cui Dai was full of doubts, after all, Concubine Wang Xian was the master, and she had learned the rules in the palace for many years, and it was the easiest to follow the wishes of the master, so she still did it. While doing it, she thought to herself. I heard that there are those desperate palace concubines who will do all kinds of irrational things when they are angry or depressed.
For example, ask someone to take out all the silk and satin in the palace and tear it to play, and take out all the fans in the palace to tear and play. Take out the bottles and smash them to vent. There were even those who set fire to palaces.
Concubine Wang Xian was so stimulated, don't you want to destroy everything and vent your anger, right?
Although it is a pity and terrible to think about it like this, but, after thinking about it, as long as Concubine Wang Xian can vent it and return to normal in the future, things will be destroyed if they are destroyed. Anyway, there is a lack of everything else in this palace, but there is no shortage of money.
Thinking about it this way, Cui Dai has the spirit to do it, she commanded these people, and quickly divided labor and cooperated.
It's a big project. Except for a little maid who was left to accompany Concubine Wang Xian, the rest of the people in the palace were busy with their pulls.
Although Concubine Wang Xian has a lot of things, however, because those big things don't need to be moved, just take an account book, and although there are many others, it is not difficult to get them, not to mention that there are so many people.
After a while, most of Concubine Wang Xian's things had already been taken.
The palace of Concubine Wang Xian has been vacated and filled with things, only in the middle, a chaise longue is placed. Concubine Wang Xian was leaning diagonally. This time, her body was too damaged, and although she used ginseng soup, it was difficult to last for a long time.
Cui Dai whispered to Concubine Wang Xian: "Niangniang, everything has been moved over." Please take a look. And these ledgers. (To be continued......)
