Chapter 5 The Queen Mother's Congratulatory Gift

Re-closing, she didn't go out immediately, but looked at the box and watched for a long time.

Xie Fanghua walked to the table, opened the sandalwood box, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the things inside, then slowly took out the things, looked at them carefully for a while, and then slowly put them back inside.

Concubine Lin turned around and walked out.

Xie Fanghua thought about it and nodded, "Thank you, concubine!" ”

"There is no one here, you can see what the Queen Mother gave you here." Concubine Lin patted her hand, "Those two girls accompany you into the palace to be married, whether it is for your heart or for something else, in the end, they have the courage and are worth handing over." However, they are also inconvenient when they are by your side. I'll go out first, and you stay with me for a while. ”

I vaguely remember the appearance of seeing her in the previous life, in this life she has resisted the palace since she was a child, and it seems that she has not entered the palace twice, I don't remember.

Xie Fanghua looked at her, thinking that although the Empress Dowager Deci went, but Concubine Lin could keep things for her for many years, and handed them over to her today, saying this. Or for Qin Zheng. With such an imperial grandmother, Qin Zheng is indeed blessed.

"Although I am old, I am not confused, Brother Zheng shot you three arrows, and you are still willing to marry her, I know that you are a woman with a strong mind, no matter what happens the day after tomorrow, you will always be the same." Concubine Lin looked at her and smiled lovingly, "Qin Zheng, this child is a blessed child. But also because of his blessings, he will suffer a lot. Heaven treats everyone fairly. There are gains and losses. ”

Xie Fanghua didn't speak, but listened quietly.

Concubine Lin smiled at her, then looked at the box and sighed, "I can have today and live in this palace peacefully, all thanks to the Empress Dowager Deci." And Brother Zheng is her own grandson, the most beloved child. The prince is a little worse in front of her and in her heart. ”

Xie Fanghua slowly reached out and took it, feeling that the box was very light, not pressing her hand, she looked at Concubine Lin.

After a while, Concubine Lin tinkered under the bed for a while, took out a small sandalwood box, patted the dust, and handed it to Xie Fanghua, "That's it, you take it!" ”

Xie Fanghua looked at her, the noble concubine, she bent down to get something under the bed, it must be extremely important to be so secretive.

Concubine Lin dragged her into the inner room, let go of her hand, and got under the board of the big bed.

Xie Fanghua nodded and stood up with Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin said again, "I thought that I would send someone out of the palace to give it to you in the past two days, but I didn't expect you to enter the palace to get married, which just so happens that I don't need my people to make a trip." When the words fell, she pulled Xie Fanghua, "You come with me." ”

Xie Fanghua was stunned for a moment.

After the meal, Concubine Lin said to Xie Fanghua, "Back then, the Empress Dowager Deci left something for me here, and told me that one day Brother Zheng would marry his daughter-in-law, let me keep it and give it to his daughter-in-law, which is her congratulatory gift." Now that you're going to marry him, I'll take this opportunity to give it to you! ”

The meal is also harmonious.

Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Lin ordered the people in the palace to hold a banquet.

Concubine Lin has always been kind and kind to people, and the topics of conversation are also relaxed, even Jin Yan, who is in a bad mood, laughs as she speaks.

After the three of them sat down, Concubine Lin pulled the three of them to chat.

Concubine Lin was waiting in the inner hall, looking good. Seeing that the three of them saluted her, they smiled and waved their hands, and invited the three of them to sit down.

There was nothing to say along the way, and I came to the concubine's dormitory smoothly. Concubine Lin was waiting at the door with the most faceful old lady, and when she saw someone coming, she immediately invited someone in with a smile.

The group walked towards Concubine Lin's bedroom.

Yan Lan glanced at Qin Tian with a smile and didn't speak.

When Qin Tian heard this, he immediately stayed away from her, for fear that she would find something to do and attack him again. Although he is not very old, he is also a human spirit, and he knows a lot of things that should be known. Especially growing up with Concubine Lin.

"If only you knew!" Jin Yan said, "Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you,"

Qin Tian suddenly shouted that he was wronged, "Cousin, you can't wronged me, Sister Fanghua saved my life in Pingyang City, I can't harm her if I have any bad ideas!" Isn't it grace and revenge? ”

When Jin Yan and Yan Lan saw that Qin Tian had something to say to Xie Fanghua, they both took a few steps back, and when they saw that they had finished speaking, they stepped forward again. Jin Yan glared at Qin Tian, "What are you muttering to Sister Fanghua?" Is there a bad idea? ”

Qin Tian was told by her like this, and it was difficult to say anything anymore.

Xie Fanghua smiled and stopped talking.

Qin Tian was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly shook his head, "Sister Fanghua, don't get me wrong, I just want to find something to chat with you, I don't know what to talk about, I can only talk about this, there is no other meaning." ”

Xie Fanghua exhaled lightly and looked at Qin Tian, "Why did you suddenly tell me about this?" ”

Qin Tian said again, "Later, I quietly went to inquire with Lin Qi in private, and Lin Qi had a sad face, saying that he was scared to death that day. But before he passed out, he didn't let people ask for a doctor, and he stiffened up like that for a few days. ”

Xie Fanghua didn't speak.

Qin Tian scratched his head again, "It was when I chatted with the concubine, we chatted, I complained a few words for you Brother Zheng is too ruthless, the concubine said I don't know him, she grew up watching Brother Zheng grow up, when the Queen Mother was still there, whether he touched it or was injured, he hid it and didn't let people know." Maybe I'm hurting again this time. said that he had not recovered from his injuries in the first place, but now he was afraid that it was more serious, saying that he was a stubborn donkey. ”

Xie Fanghua's eyes moved, "Concubine? In those days, the concubine was always in the palace, right? ”

"It was the concubine who said it." Qin said.

Xie Fanghua looked at him, "How do you know?" ”

"Brother Qin Zheng is really ruthless." Qin Tian muttered, glanced around again, and whispered, "However, Sister Fanghua, you may not know, it is said that on the day you were injured, Brother Qin Zheng himself was also injured and vomited blood and was in a coma for several days. ”

Xie Fanghua said "um".

Qin Tian whispered again, "I've always wanted to see you, but the concubine stopped me and didn't let me go, saying that she wouldn't let me get too close to you." Besides, if you are injured, no one will see you, and I will go in vain. ”

"That's it!" Xie Fanghua nodded.

"Sister Fanghua, your ......" Qin Tian looked at her again, hesitated, and asked in a low voice with concern, "Is the injury healed?" ”

Xie Fanghua glanced at him and nodded, indicating that he understood.

"When I saw him, he had just come back from the camp in Xishan, I talked to him, he ignored me, I asked him I will return to the palace in a while, does he have anything to say to you? As if he hadn't heard, he went back to the Prince's Palace. Qin Tian was dissatisfied.

Xie Fanghua paused, Qin Zheng came back from the Xishan camp?

Qin Tian scratched his head, hurriedly gave Jin Yan a look, then turned to Xie Fanghua and whispered, "Sister Fanghua, I saw Brother Zheng outside the palace today." ”

Xie Fanghua didn't say anything, his expression was light, and he didn't care about Qin Tian's words.

"I want to marry, and someone has to be willing to marry." Yan Lan was not annoyed.

"I thought you were sensible in the court, but you still talk nonsense, and then tear your mouth apart!" Jin Yan glared at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian was waiting outside the courtyard, and when he saw the three of them coming out, he immediately smiled, "It's the first time I've seen someone like my cousin and the little lord of Yan who specially marryed, if I didn't know, I thought that the two of you would also marry Brother Zheng with Sister Fanghua." ”

Xie Fanghua and the three of them naturally couldn't let Qin Tian wait for a long time, so the three of them briefly freshened up, changed their clothes, and walked out of the warm pavilion.

The waiter went out to inform Qin Tian, and Qin Tian hurriedly said, "In this case, I'll wait here for a while to pick up Sister Fanghua, cousin, and the little county lord." ”

Xie Fanghua bowed.

Yan Lan also nodded, "We are compensating you to enter the palace to be married, so we naturally want to accompany you." ”

Jin Yan nodded.

Xie Fanghua also wanted to meet Concubine Lin tonight, so she said to the waiter, "You go and tell the Eighth Prince, just say that I will go over later." After the words fell, she looked at Jin Yan and Yan Lan.

Concubine Lin can be said to have relied on in her later years.

Now that the eighth prince has entered the court, with Qin Tian, Qin Yu and Qin Zheng, he will be a prince in the future.

Not only is she very popular, but she is also very unusual. Otherwise, why are the concubines of the former emperor standing alone in the palace until now? has no children and no daughters, she is a concubine, but she is raised by an eighth prince?

How many years has Concubine Lin been in the palace, her roots are very deep, and the wind and grass in this palace naturally can't hide from her.

Xie Fanghua heard it clearly in the warm pavilion room, and it was not surprising when she heard it, after she entered the palace, the queen would invite a banquet tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow was a big day for marriage, and Concubine Lin wanted to invite her, so she would naturally be in time today.

The waiter nodded, turned around and entered the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"The concubine knows, so naturally please go together." Qin said.

Hearing this, the waiter said respectfully, "The slave maid is going to ask my young lady." After the words fell, she said again, "In addition to my young lady, the county lord of Jinyan and the county lord of Yan are also accompanied by my young lady in this palace. ”

After a while, Qin Tian really entered the De'an Palace, and the waiter went out to greet him, and he still didn't take off the childish voice of the boy and said, "The concubine heard that Sister Fanghua has entered the palace to be married, let me ask, is Sister Fanghua tired?" If you are not tired, go to the palace for dinner tonight. Let me invite Sister Fanghua. ”

The three of them stopped talking in the room, and listened intently to the outside.

The waiter answered, turned and walked out.

Xie Fanghua instructed the waiter, "You go out to watch, if you really come to De'an Palace, ask what's the matter?" ”

"Qin Tian has been assisting Cousin Yu in studying politics in the court these days, and it is said that he is doing decently, but I haven't seen him for several days. It's strange to be here all of a sudden today. Jin Yan glanced at Xie Fanghua.

The waiter shook his head outside the door, "The Eighth Prince is coming this way to come to De'an Palace. ”

Jin Yan and Yan Lan were also puzzled, and asked together, "Qin Tian?" What did he come to do? ”

Xie Fanghua was stunned.

After chatting for an hour, the waiter outside suddenly said, "Miss, the Eighth Prince is here!" ”

It was too early, and the three of them were either nestled on the soft couch, or lying on the chaise longue, or sitting on the bed, each occupying a place and gossiping.

Among the three of them, Yan Lan is not burdened, and she is in the best mood, even if she knows that she has entered the palace to come to troubled waters, she feels that it is not a big deal.

The house is huge, so it's no problem to live for three people.

Since they said that they were here to get married, Jin Yan and Yan Lan didn't arrange another room, so they decided to squeeze into the room of Dongnuan Pavilion with Xie Fanghua.

The three of them sat in the painting hall for a while, and then entered the East Warm Pavilion to rest together.

Jin Yan sighed, as if she was sighing for Yan Lan's letting go, and it seemed that she was sighing that she had a long road ahead, and she couldn't give up, and she couldn't let go.

Xie Fanghua also smiled at her when she heard this, Yan Lan actually had the same temperament as Yan Ting, with a straightforward and sincere side.

Yan Lan suddenly smiled, "Naturally, let it go, the so-called no fight, no deal." Maybe we'll be good sisters in the future. ”

"I'm not close to dying." Jin Yan covered her heart, "It would be good if I could die." After the words fell, she looked at Yan Lan, "I envy you very much now, you don't even shy away from saying this in front of Sister Fanghua, it seems that you really let it go." ”

Yan Lan snorted and glanced at Xie Fanghua, "Of course it's her heart that makes me die." After a pause, she said, "When you know that even if you gamble everything, it will be worthless in the eyes of others, you should die." Besides, I am indeed inferior to her. ”

Jin Yan lowered her head, "How did you put it down?" ”

"What's the difference? I think they have grown up from small fights, although their temperaments are different, but their temperaments are not different. Yan Lan said, "There is no room for sand in your eyes." Whoever they don't like is sand. It will leak out of the palm of your hand and step into the dirt. ”

Jin Yan glanced at Xie Fanghua, and seeing that she didn't speak, she shook her head, "Cousin Qin Yu is different from Cousin Qin Zheng. ”

Yan Lan pouted at Xie Fanghua, "If you meet her, you have to let go if you don't let go." Besides, I have known Qin Zheng with my brother since I was a child. How many years have Lu Xueying chased after him, and I followed behind my ass, so what? It's not like he's not looking at it yet. I thought that when all the women in the world were the same in front of him, he said that if he liked her, he liked her? Who can do that? ”

Jin Yan turned her head to look at Yan Lan, and seeing her indifferent expression, she said suspiciously, "You really let it go?" Which is so easy? If I could put it down, I would have put it down a long time ago, and I still need to say it? ”

Yan Lan bumped Jin Yan with her arm, flattening her mouth, "It's just a man, you can learn from me, you can put it down." ”

Therefore, just like Qin Yu to Jin Yan and what Jin Yan did, Qin Yu couldn't be tempted by her at all.

Xie Fanghua was speechless, liking is not something that can be forced, just like Qin Yu gave her up again and again, in front of her, she retreated again and again, if she said that she had no heart, she didn't believe it. But what about having a heart? likes someone, is willing to be trapped by him, is hurt by him, doesn't like a person, no matter how he acts, he can't touch her heart.

Seeing her tone firm, Jin Yan smiled dismally, "You are so sure, I believe it." When the words fell, she was even more uncomfortable, "I also think that Cousin Qin Yu is not that kind of person, he would not do such a thing to you, but when it comes to him, I don't dare to bet at all." When I was like this, he didn't even look at it. ”

She shook her head, "He just doesn't want me and Qin Zheng to get married smoothly, and he won't do anything to me, don't worry!" ”

Xie Fanghua suddenly cried and laughed, what was she afraid of? Seeing her like this, she felt sorry for her. I didn't know how far I could go if I liked someone, but now that I know, she can understand her a little. Compared to the difficulties between her and Qin Zheng, but for the two hearts together, I don't know much better than Jin Yan's forgetfulness of Qin Yu.

"I don't blame you for this, don't worry, I'm just uncomfortable, I won't give you my discomfort, I know that what you like is not him, but Cousin Qin Zheng." Jin Yan whispered, "Don't be afraid. ”

Xie Fanghua didn't speak.

Jin Yan muttered, "When Cousin Qin Zheng asked to marry you, I didn't care about you, Cousin Qin Yu was in Mobei, I still had a trace of luck in my heart, I felt that maybe Master Puyun had miscalculated, they didn't have anything in common at all, but from what he did when he returned to Beijing, it couldn't be clearer to me that he was indeed fighting with Cousin Qin Zheng for you." ”

All he had to do was to prevent her from getting married.

Besides, Qin Yu is not crazy, not only is he not crazy, but his mind is obviously very clear!

Even if she doesn't come, Qin Yu shouldn't do anything to her, as grandpa said, after all, she is entering the palace to be married, not marrying into the palace. What would he dare to do at this time? Then the reputation that has been hard-won will be ruined. Then the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong and the Mansion of Prince Ying will not be able to spare him, and then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not be able to support such a prince who is deficient in virtue and does bad things to her when she is about to get married.

Xie Fanghua suddenly understood, she was afraid of what Qin Yu would do to her, so she entered the palace to accompany her like this, probably because she had made up her mind to be inseparable from her. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I ......" Jin Yan closed her eyes, "I want to watch, or rather, I'm afraid that he will ...... you in the past two days"

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"Sister Fanghua, you must wonder why I insist on accompanying you into the palace to be married, right?" Jin Yan suddenly looked up at Xie Fanghua.

So what is Jin Yan for?

Yan Lan said it to her clearly, because she had no thoughts about Qin Zheng, but she still wanted to watch her and Qin Zheng get married, so she entered the palace.

Xie Fanghua looked at Jin Yan, she didn't know what to say for a while, Qin Yu's thoughts and actions towards her, Jin Yan likes Qin Yu, likes a person is the most sensitive, and will always pay attention to his movements, she is afraid that she knows it well. It should be very uncomfortable in my heart.

After Qin Yu left, Jin Yan sat in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.
