Chapter 491: Lady Mi Visits
Listening to my tactful and evasive praise of her mental state at the moment, Mrs. Mi stroked her cheeks and smiled.
"Chang Man is still young, your body needs to be slowly adjusted, sister, I have been eating and drinking stupidly recently, and my body has gained a few laps, can you not hold up and look much better?"
Since it comes down to being good enough to eat, then I can't talk about the reason.
"Being fat is a blessing, looking at it like this, Sister Mi looks like she is several years younger."
Listening to my casual conversation, Mrs. Mi laughed happily.
"Hehehe, I love to hear this, Gao always said this to me, although I know that you make me happy, but I still can't stop being happy."
After a few laughs, I didn't talk too much about her, so in order to avoid being embarrassed after the laughter, I chose a good time to pick up the conversation and brought up another topic.
"This time, Gao was entrusted by the emperor with a heavy task to go out to Anbang, right? It's good material, and it will always stand out, and the emperor really values him more and more. ”
When it comes to Gao, like every mother is mentioned to her son, Mrs. Mi smiles with a different kind of satisfaction and pride.
"It's not that his father is taking care of him, but to be honest, this child has really worked hard in recent years, and I, as a mother concubine, sometimes really feel sorry for him. But then again, if you want to become a talent, how can there be a general who stands out without hardship, it should be sharpened. ”
She smiled a few words, and said: "In fact, Gao took the position of commander of the mob in Wu County to stabilize the situation in Chu County, and said that after the destruction of Chu Land, the people near Wu County were uneasy. Sudden reactionary atrocities occurred one after another, and separatist and restoration activities were repeatedly banned, so he was asked to personally go over and control them. ”
Listening to Mrs. Mi's proud words, I will be happy for her. But what caught my attention was another point: Wu County!
Wu County, Chu Di, isn't that the place where legend says that Xiang Yu went into exile with his uncle Xiang Liang after the destruction of the Chu State?
"Did you shoot Ban Mu's Xiang disciple?" I asked.
If Xiang Yu holds a restoration activity, then he will be dead this time, and Ying Zheng will definitely not let him go, but according to historical events, Ying Zheng and Xiang Yu did not have an accident at this time, is it not, not Xiang Yu?
"That kid is not as good as the rest of the Xiang family's disciples. I heard that the hooligans were always suspicious of the east and west, except for the evil deeds of destroying Banmu in one fell swoop and angering Daqin, there was nothing surprising. ”
confirmed that what I speculated was not Xiang Yu's provocative activities, and Mrs. Mi shook her head and disgusted Xiang Yu, who had a good reputation. He also said: "Not long ago, I heard Gao's family letter mentioned in the trivial matter, saying that he had recently been entangled with a woman of unknown origin, and he was chasing after him so tightly that even his uncle couldn't persuade him, hey." Sister, you looked up at him at the time. ”
Mrs. Mi said this because of the regretful nagging in the small talk. However, her expression was not as relaxed as small talk, and she glanced at me a few times, and she was deliberately observing my reaction.
How should I react?
Could it be that she thought that I was deliberately trying to put pressure on Chestnut? Or did she think that I didn't want Li'er to go out of the battlefield, so she spoke out to stop the duel that Yingzheng had the intention to arrange?
I couldn't guess Mrs. Mi's intention to look at me after saying this, thinking that Xiang Yu really had nothing to do with me at the moment, so I didn't go to the side to find out her thoughts.
"Speaking of him, I can't help but think of Chestnut Ear again." I was sad and didn't comment on Mrs. Mi's desire to hear me comment on what she said about Xiang Yu. Diverting the topic, he said, "If the chestnut ear is still there..."
I stopped talking and didn't continue.
If I had said anything about Xiang Yu and Li'er's comments that had fallen into the hands of Mrs. Mi, then I would really be in danger if I missed a word. This is the experience I have accumulated over the years of hard survival in the palace: whether or not I have a good relationship with Madame Mi at the moment, once there is a conflict of interest, the good sisters will turn against each other.
Therefore, no matter whether Xiang Yu's unmotivation was deliberately said to me by Mrs. Mi, or whether he was really useless, I am not suitable to say anything.
Seeing that I brought the topic to "chestnut ear", a word that the palace avoided, Mrs. Mi couldn't say anything for a while.
"Every qiē is fate, Chestnut has his own predetermined destiny, Sister Xi don't have to think too much."
The words of persuasion to me were also the trend of Madame Mi's desire to get rid of the name of "chestnut ear", which involved a heavy topic, but the more she was so eager to start a new topic, the more I felt that she had other ideas in mind, and I felt very burdened by the way she was purposefully guided to talk.
"It's just that I don't know who the emperor will send again on the day of the war." I continued to lament my words.
Mrs. Mi, whether it is the appearance or the extroverted expression of her words, looks more open than I want to see, and her words are also positive and optimistic.
"No matter who it is, according to the palace, all of our sons of Daqin are not weak, not to mention that Xiang Yu, who is not successful, is the most courageous son of the Xiang family, and it is not a problem to win it."
One is the mother country Zhongliang, and the other is the biological son of her husband's family, I don't know how Mrs. Mi feels about the existence of the two, but I think that behind her one-sided joke at the moment should be hidden real sadness.
A woman with a strong father and a strong husband seems to be happy and glorious, but in fact it is the most difficult!
"Sister Mi's condition is really much better, and in the long run, healing is not a big problem." I jumped out of her circle again.
Because of my fortifications, Madame Mi didn't get any valuable words out of my mouth, but after she was gone, I couldn't help but miss one of the people in the territory she mentioned: Yujiao!
If Yu Jiao survived the war, then she should marry and have children now, I don't know if she is doing well, and whether she will occasionally miss our life together in Qixi Palace.
"Luo Cong, tell me, does Yu Jiao have a better chance of surviving, or is there more danger in the situation?" I chatted with Luo Cong about Yu Jiao.
Luo Liang saw that I was full of worry, and knew that I was thinking about pessimism, so he immediately smiled and comforted me.
"Madame, don't you always say 'good people have good rewards', Yu Jiao, she is so kind, and she has learned a lot of wisdom from Madame to protect her own scheming, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." She looked at me with the same expression, and said: "Besides, although she was exiled, she was the person appointed by the emperor in the past, and ordinary people would not dare to take her life when they saw her, even if they were bullied." ”
Luo Cong is right to say this, after many years of war, many people have been shocked by the drastic changes in life and death and the ups and downs of life, although Yu Jiao was exiled, but she is a person who went out of the Qin Palace, and served in front of the princess, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, many people are still reluctant to provoke her.
A little comforted in my heart, I stared at the falling snow outside the window in a daze, still worried about the cold and warm Yu Jiao.
In the end, the people who have been close to me are more likely to involve my endless concern than those who are hungry and cold.
"It's snowing hard today, it's cold enough, can Madame add a warm pot?" Luo Cong tried his best to divert my attention and coaxed me to say: "The slave maid asked Linlang to go to the imperial dining room to pick live sheep for Madame, Madame wants to use suckling sheep or fat sheep?" Or maybe Madame wants to bake it? ”
I understood Luo Onion's thoughts, so I turned my blank eyes to look at her, wanting to contemplate and think about her proposals, but my melancholy thoughts were not easy to pull back, and the time for condensing my thoughts was extended a lot, which made Luo Cong mistakenly think that I was still in pain, and she hurriedly opened her mouth again to try to pull back my thinking ability.
"The slave will go and call Linlang here." As soon as she made a notice, she immediately called Linlang over, and the two of them looked at me together and asked, "Madame has an idea, do you want to warm the pot and simmer the whole sheep in a charcoal roast?" ”
I couldn't say a word in the whole process of Luo Onion's decision, but at this time, I was staring at me eagerly waiting for the pronunciation, and this change made me a little uncomfortable.
"Where did you eat so much, Linlang, you choose a piece of tender leg meat to make a warm pot, and the back end is for the nurses to eat, we have to take care of the princess first." I instructed Linlang, then turned to look at Luo Cong and said, "When the meal arrives later, you can pick a small piece of fine meat from the warm pot for the palace, and the palace will borrow the broth to drive away the cold." ”
Linlang followed Luo Onion and promised me to go to the imperial dining room to arrange the meal, Luo Onion approached me again, and saw that I was going to look out of the window again, afraid that I would fall into deep thought again, and hurriedly accosted me as if he stopped me.
"Madame, don't you feel warm? Do you want the slave to open another stove? She was visibly out of words.
"Just right."
I replied gently, realizing that I had accumulated good feelings and said too little, and would still make Luo Cong feel that she had not succeeded in soothing my mood at all, and retracted his gaze and looked back at Luo Onion.
"Right now, the servants in the palace are still happy?" I asked.
Most of the people in the letter palace are not the people who originally followed me, even if they were the original people from Qixi Palace, they are not all loyal to me, because of the interpersonal relationship and the manipulator behind it, even if the identity is shown in the position of the person, it is still inevitable to rank according to the hierarchy, so the control work of ** Yigong and Luo Onion is still very difficult to do.
"Madame rest assured, although the emperor has been favoring Mrs. Wan and the new princesses recently, but after all, this letter palace is the palace that is the closest to the Qiongyang Palace, not to mention the rank of the eighth son of the lady and the title of the princess of Huating, who would dare to underestimate us?
When the slave and maid rule the palace, they have to criticize and scold, no matter whether their background is clean or not, whether they want to suppress their mood if they are not convinced, they dare not reply to me, so we believe in the palace, and we don't need to worry about the slave and maid at all. ”
This should not be Luo Cong's reassuring words, because there is indeed a reality as Luo Cong said, Yingzheng temporarily ignored it and made everyone scruple and dare not make a conclusion about me. (To be continued......)
