Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Will Do Good Deeds
In the princess's mansion, as soon as Wen Hui left, Yu Rui, a confidant housekeeper beside the princess, came over and said: "Princess, this Wen Hui girl is still so kind-hearted, and Mrs. Liu is also so kind-hearted and thinks so much about the people, it is really a great thing, this is really immeasurable." Hey, I think back then, our family could have gotten by, not a wealthy family, but it was still okay to be well fed and clothed. Later, my father had a serious illness, in order to cure the disease, our family could sell all the money, the family was surrounded by walls, and in the end there was not enough money, I couldn't afford to hire a doctor, there was no way, I was older, so I had to ask the aunt next door, help me find someone, and enter the palace as a palace maid. If there had been such a hospital at that time, our family would not have been separated. ”
Princess Lichuan and Yurui had the deepest feelings, so they smiled and said: "Okay, don't be sad, you are not good, you later served the palace, you were able to go out of the palace often, and arranged for your parents, family, brothers and sisters, so that they can live the life of a rich man, isn't it enough?" ”
Yurui smiled and said: "Princess, then I am lucky, I am grateful for the princess's reward, but the little girl who entered the palace with me at the beginning did not save one out of ten." Most of the palaces entered in this way, and now most of them are buried in the alleys of the North Palace. ”
Princess Lichuan thought about it and said, "In this way, this hospital is really a meritorious thing." I'm going to do my best to make this happen. It's just that this Yangshan Hall is not easy to do, and there are too many things involved. ”
Yurui said: "Princess, I think Miss Chen Liu's Lan is very good-hearted, smart and kind-hearted, she is really a rare talent." ”
Princess Lichuan nodded and said: "It's not just a talent, it's a genius, now she is only ten years old, how much credit she has made to Da Chu, others don't know, don't you know how much she has contributed to the sea trade and the construction of Shanghai City?" Not to mention, she and her brother established Xinguang City and subdued Yizhou Island. This is a miracle to expand the territory, and the title that my father just gave to a county lord is really too small. ”
Yurui said: "Princess, forgive the slave and maid for being too talkative, the slave and maid heard bad things about Miss Chen Liu in the harem some time ago. Saying that she is a girl's family mixed with men all day long, and she still stays in a barbarian land, has long damaged her reputation. Wait, there are so many unbearable words, it's really hard to say. ”
Princess Lichuan's face turned cold: "Hmph, needless to say, I understand who is spreading such rumors, not Concubine Wande?" She wants to live in the third brother and get a storage position, so naturally she will hit the people around the fourth brother hard, and she will spare no effort, and even Wen Hui's reputation will be damaged. It's shameless. ”
Yurui said, "The princess is clear. ”
Princess Lichuan said: "Rumors stop at the wise, and it is precisely because of these many rumors that there will be a matter of the third aunt detaining Wen Hui in the capital." This is a loss to Da Chu. They are villains, but they just know how to compete for power, when did they really think about Da Chu. When did you think about the people? ”
Yurui didn't say anything.
Princess Lichuan continued: "This is not the most annoying, the most annoying thing is that I don't know who entered the slander in front of my father, saying that Sister Wen Hui is talented, and she has recently been recognized by the Hei family. Or which prince to give as a dependent, so that Wen Hui's sister becomes a royal person, so that the interests of Yizhou Island can be protected forever. What a fool, short-sighted, how can Wen Hui's sister's value be measured by a Yizhou Island? ”
Yurui said softly: "The slave maid doesn't know about the world's major affairs, but she has been in Shanghai for many years. Listening to those merchants in the sea trade, the world is very big, Yizhou Island is just a small island, the South China Sea is more than Yizhou Island, and the ten Yizhou Islands are not comparable. This South Sea is already very big. There are also Europe, America, and so on, which are bigger than the South Seas. These people are really short-sighted, the emperor is wise, they won't really believe those people's words, right? ”
Princess Lichuan said: "These people don't understand, Wen Hui is only worth a lot outside, put it in the harem, or put it in the backyard of which prince, and become an ordinary woman who only knows how to drink tea and enjoy flowers, what is the use of Da Chu and the people of the world?" She has boundless intelligence, but if you ask her to embroider a small flower, maybe it is not as good as the embroidery of our third-class maid in the palace, these people who bewitch her father and emperor are really ill-intentioned. ”
Yurui nodded, she had seen Wen Hui settle accounts, she could calculate difficult accounts at once, adding thousands and hundreds, multiply, she could calculate it in a moment with just a charcoal pen, but her embroiderer? Hehe, she has also seen it, she saw Miss Wen Hui embroidered by herself in Shanghai City, and the embroidered one is called abstract, which is 108,000 miles worse than the third-class maid in her palace.
Yurui said: "Princess, the emperor Shengming, even if he is deceived by the villain for a while, he has to rely on the princess to explain to the emperor." ”
Princess Lichuan nodded and said, "What you say is reasonable, my father loves me so much, I have nothing to repay, I can only try my best to share my father's worries." You take care of it, I will enter the palace tomorrow to see my mother. ”
Yurui was busy.
The next day, Princess Lichuan entered the palace and found that her mother Chen Guifei was very good-looking, in good spirits, dressed luxuriously and gorgeously, and she was also very happy. Chen Guifei said: "This Hui'er, she is really kind-hearted, and she is also smart, well, this matter is a good thing, with immeasurable merits, saving the people, contributing to the people of Dachu, and contributing to the world of Dachu, and contributing to the royal family of Dachu. Not only do I have to bear this reputation, but I also have to contribute money and effort, Lichuan, you also have to contribute money and effort. ”
This is beyond Princess Lichuan's expectations, for many years, Chen Guifei's principles in the palace have been low-key and low-key, why did she change this time, such a high-profile, this is to spread the world.
Seeing her daughter's puzzled expression, Chen Guifei laughed and said, "What's the matter, I have to do good deeds too, can't I?" ”
Princess Lichuan was smart, and in a blink of an eye, she had already figured out the key to this, and was pleasantly surprised: "Mother, what do you mean?" ”
Chen Guifei admired her daughter's intelligence very much, nodded with a smile and said: "Now, I am only one step away from that step, if I want to achieve my wish, I have to take that step, the forbearance in the past is all for today's struggle." I am now in a high position in the palace, and what is bad is the external force, which is the help that can push me. For generations, this help has given birth to a prince. However, I am old, how can I still be possible, this is to take another path, to be rewarded for virtue, to take that last step. How did this virtue come about? ”
Princess Lichuan suddenly became excited and said: "The child understands, what is needed most at this time is fame, please rest assured, even if the child scatters all the family wealth, she will help the mother succeed." ”
Chen Guifei nodded, stretched out her jade hand, gently stroked Lichuan's delicate face and said, "My child, I only have you one bone and blood left, how can I bear to let you recognize another woman as my mother-in-law?" ”
Princess Lichuan's tears of excitement were about to fall out, and she reached out to hold her mother's hand and said, "This is a critical time, but do you need to discuss with your third uncle in the long run?" ”
Chen Guifei nodded and said, "This is natural. Not only do I want him to help, but I also want to do him a favor and solve Wen Hui's worries. ”
At this time, Princess Lichuan remembered that the second important thing she did when she came to the palace was to keep Wen Hui's freedom, and she hurriedly told her mother what she thought.
Chen Guifei nodded and said: "My niece, she is really a genius, if such a talent is included in the harem and becomes an ordinary woman, just enjoying flowers and drinking tea all day long, intriguing, embroidering and working, this is a great loss to the world, to Dachu, to the people, and to our Chen family." Especially for my plans, she is indispensable. How can I tolerate the destruction of those rotten people who are in the prime position of corpses? Don't worry, I already have a plan in my heart, and I will wait for the next year, when she enters the palace to thank her for the title, and then show her grace. ”
Princess Lichuan was relieved when she heard this, knowing that her mother was resourceful and would definitely be able to handle this matter well. This piece of heart is put down, and then it is excited about the future of the mother concubine, this step was not thought of before, but time has changed, and now the queen has been abolished, and the position of the harem is vacant.
Princess Lichuan and Concubine Chen Guifei discussed in the palace. Chen Wenhui has already begun to take the maids to prepare for the Lantern Festival in the boredom. Chen Wenhui took the maids to make delicious rice balls, with bean paste filling, sesame seed trapping, peanut filling, and corn filling. Originally, I was going to make some lanterns, but Bai said to her, first, the Lantern Festival, they have to go into the palace to enjoy the lanterns, this is an annual practice, and even the second lady's family has to go without an official position. Second, this mansion is not their mansion, and they can't afford to dress it up.
Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, and then began to look forward to the Lantern Festival in the palace. In her previous life, Wen Hui had seen many high-tech lights, especially the gorgeous neon lights, but the lanterns in this world were quite good according to Bai's. In fact, Wen Hui has seen the Lantern Festival in Jiangnan and Yizhou Island in the past few years, which are very distinctive and very appreciative, but her mother said that these are not comparable to the lights of the palace. Therefore, Wen Hui is looking forward to the lights of the palace.
