Chapter 475: Help
When Luo Zhizhen came over, Zhen Miao also coaxed Brother Xiang and Brother Yi to take a nap in the wing room.
It's already September, and she still has a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
There is no other reason, Brother Xiang'er, this kid is too skinny!
Xu is getting older, and Brother Xiang'er's smart bones began to be used in fighting wits and courage with adults.
For example, now, he has no sleepiness, he is full of energy, and Brother Yi eats and sleeps fragrantly, so he pokes Brother Yi'er on his little ass while Zhen Miao is not paying attention, Brother Yi opened his eyes blankly, and his mouth was about to cry, Zhen Miao hurriedly coaxed again: "What's wrong with Brother Yi, is it a dream?" β
Brother Yi subconsciously looked at Brother Xiang'er, and then shook his head.
Zhen Miao didn't know why at first, but after a few times, she finally discovered Brother Xiang'er's small movements, educated this bear child, and began to have a headache again.
"Brother Yi'er, my brother did something bad, why didn't you sue SΓΉ Niang?"
Brother Yi frowned, and after a long time of confusion, he said, "Brother said that I can't make a small report with my mother." β
Zhen Miao squinted: "My mother is a little sad, but Brother Yi listens to my brother more than to my mother." β
Brother Xiang on the side thought sadly, his mother was even jealous of him, is this really good?
Brother Yi is an honest child, hearing Zhen Miao say this, he hurriedly comforted: "Mother, Brother Yi listens to you, it's just ......"
He glanced at Brother Xiang and said, "Brother said, I am obedient, every time I eat chicken legs, I leave him to me." β
The corners of Zhen Miao's mouth twitched.
Very good, Brother Xiang'er, this little bastard already understands the truth of "eating people with soft mouths and taking people with short hands", and he coaxed Brother Yi'er, a simple boy, to be stunned.
Brother Yi is so honest, what will he do in the future?
On the side, Brother Xiang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly spoke: "Mother, my brother should listen to my brother's words, so that when I grow up, I will take good care of him and not let people bully him." β
This kid has become a sperm, right? Did she even guess what was in her mind?
Zhen Miao raised her eyebrows, and just wanted to educate the two headache babies a few more words, Mu Zhi stood at the door and said, "Grandma, the third girl is here." β
Zhen Miao patted Brother Xiang'er's buttocks: "Go to bed quickly, play tricks again, and clean you up later!" Brother Yi also slept obediently. β
As he spoke, he stood up and told the two nurses: "You take good care of the two brothers." β
After speaking, he walked out and went directly back to the main room along the verandah, Luo Zhizhen was sitting in the hall, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Sister-in-law." β
Coming over at this time, Zhen Miao was a little puzzled, but she walked over quietly and said with a smile: "The third sister is here, let's sit inside, I just went to see the two children, so you have been waiting for a long time." β
Although she insisted on breastfeeding her two children, some rules still had to be followed.
When Brother Xiang and Brother Yi turned three, they moved out of the main house and moved to live in the East Wing, in order not to alienate the mother and son, she would personally coax the two children to sleep after lunch.
Luo Zhizhen obviously knew that it was a little abrupt to come to the door at this time, but she knew about the chrysanthemum banquet from Cai's family, and she was really tormented in her heart, and she couldn't wait, but fortunately, her aunt and sister-in-law got along well over the years, and they had some affection, otherwise she wouldn't have the courage to come over and confide in her heart.
"It's my sister who is abrupt, but there is something I want to tell my sister-in-law."
Zhen Miao nodded, took Luo Zhizhen's hand and went outside, and when the wooden branch served tea, she asked the maids who were waiting to retreat before asking, "What's the matter with the third sister?" β
"Sister-in-law, I heard my mother say that on the day of Chongyang, there will be a chrysanthemum banquet in the palace?"
"Yes."
"Am I going too?"
Zhen Miao said with a smile: "Of course, when the palace attendant came to deliver the post, he also said it deliberately. β
Luo Zhizhen's face turned pale, his hands on his lap were twisted, he bit his lip and asked, "Sister-in-law, can I not go?" β
Zhen Miao smiled, looked at Luo Zhizhen carefully, and was silent for a moment before asking, "Third sister doesn't want to go?" β
Luo Zhizhen nodded: "I don't want to." β
"That'...... The second aunt told you what the palace meant by holding a chrysanthemum banquet this time? β
"Got it." Speaking of which, Luo Zhizhen couldn't hold it anymore.
In the final analysis, she is just a fourteen-year-old girl, and she is a concubine, and it takes courage to escape the matter of choosing a concubine.
Who to mention? If Tian is still there, I'm afraid that a big ear scraper will come over after hearing it, and I will sneer at it, although the current stepmother is good, but it is limited to this, so that she feels that she does not know how to lift, and she will be even more unhappy in the future.
As for grandmothers...... Since beating her bowl of rice balls almost killed the old lady, this girl has a shadow in her heart, and she can only be respectful to the elderly elders, but she no longer dares to go forward indiscriminately.
Seeing that Luo Zhizhen was already a little shaky, Zhen Miao sighed lightly and patted her hand: "Third sister, don't be in a hurry, listen to me." β
"Hmm."
"Since you know that this chrysanthemum banquet is to choose a concubine for the new emperor, I'm afraid you can't help but go."
Luo Zhizhen's hand shook and asked, holding on to the last glimmer of hope: "Isn't it okay to call it sick?" β
Zhen Miao shook her head: "This is not appropriate." This is the first time that the new emperor has chosen a concubine after he ascended the throne, and the ones selected are all famous and noble girls, you are the only school-age girl in the Zhenguo Mansion, and your background is here, even if you are sick this time, I am afraid that you will still be passed into the palace in a few days. You must know that this time the concubine was selected in the name of the chrysanthemum banquet, not a formal selection, and there was nothing to say about missing the time. Call it sick this time, will you call it sick next time? Three or five times, even if the heavenly family is not annoyed, the rumor that you are weak will be very unfavorable to your family. β
Luo Zhi is really at the age of saying that he is married, once the rumor of poor health spreads, of course, no one will be uninterested, but those who are from good backgrounds, or who marry the eldest son and grandson of the family, I am afraid they will be discouraged.
Luo Zhizhen's face suddenly turned pale, without a trace of blood.
She has known since she was a child that in this life, a woman has two chances to decide her fate, one is her birth, which cannot be chosen, her bad luck is from her aunt's belly, and the other is to get married.
She doesn't want to enter the palace and compete with countless women for the most noble man, doesn't she just want to marry a good man and live a peaceful life?
"Sister-in-law, please help me, I really don't want to enter the palace and fight with a group of women, and in the end, it may be empty, and even my life will be buried in it." Luo Zhizhen knelt down with a thud, hugged Zhen Miao's legs, and cried bitterly.
Zhen Miao looked down at Luo Zhizhen who was kneeling on the ground, and felt a little emotional in her heart.
is also a concubine, Luo Zhizhen and Zhen Jing, their hearts are completely different.
She still wanted to confirm that after Luo Zhizhen got married in the future, she would not be happy, and she secretly envied the dignity of the palace concubine, and complained.
"Has the third sister really figured it out? You know, this opportunity is very cherished by many families. β
Luo Zhizhen tilted his head, his eyes were full of tears, and his expression was resolute: "Sister-in-law, since I came to you, I have already thought clearly. You see, generations of new emperors have succeeded to the throne, where have all the concubines of the first emperor gone? Let's just say that now, in addition to the queen mother, how many of the emperor's concubines are still in the harem? β
Those concubines who have children can say that those who have no children have to stay in the temple, and those who are unlucky have to be buried with them.
Not to mention, Emperor Zhaofeng died, and Empress Dowager Zhao, who was promoted to the queen mother, directly let Wu Guifei, who was quite favored by Emperor Zhaofeng in the last few years of his life, be martyred.
There is no need to find more reasons, it is enough for the Queen Mother to say that the emperor can't leave Wu Guifei, who let Wu Guifei be a commoner.
is also because Wu Guifei came from a humble background, and she became a beautiful concubine back then, and sat in the seat vacated by Princess Fang Rou's mother Jiang Guifei, even ordinary people know that there is such a low-born lady in the palace, and it is not surprising that Luo Zhizhen knows about her fateful ending.
has said so much, Luo Zhizhen gritted his teeth and let go: "In the end, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there is only one person who can really have the last laugh, Zhizhen knows that once he enters the palace, that person will never be me!" β
Zhen Miao nodded subconsciously, agreeing with Luo Zhizhen's idea.
Not to mention Wu Guifei, it is Jiang Guifei, who was later reused by her father because of the war, and gradually gained power, and now she doesn't want to stay honest. The woman who once looked down on the Empress Dowager Zhao at all now lives quietly in the deep palace, as if she has never existed.
Not to mention...... What's more, Emperor Chenqing is a pervert!
If she could, she didn't want to step into the palace again, but it was a pity that she was born in the imperial society and was the future mistress of the Guogong Mansion, so it was impossible for her to come completely by her own temperament.
Fortunately, although that person is perverted, with the respect of the Son of Heaven, he should not go back on his word, he said it himself in the future, he will still be a brother, if there is any more ridiculous behavior, he will directly throw this in his face.
"That being the case, third sister, when the time comes, you will still enter the palace with me."
"Sister-in-law?" Luo Zhizhen's hand holding Zhen Miao's thigh tightened, and a teardrop on her long eyelashes faltered.
"You get up first." Zhen Miao pulled her to sit down and said with a smile, "You girl is also a solid-eyed girl, and you may not be selected to enter the palace." β
Luo Zhizhen's eyes gradually brightened, and he hesitated a little: "What does sister-in-law mean - I dress more ordinarily and look ordinary, so I can be defeated?" β
"You are a girl from the Guogong Mansion, with such a background, I think, no matter how ordinary you dress, there is no chance of losing the election."
Tall and average, this is the rhythm of being favored by the Queen Mother every minute, right?
If the queen mother and the queen don't get along, it's okay to say, since the queen mother and the queen are fighting for the territory of the harem, they will inevitably compete, but who makes the current queen the queen mother's niece, the queen mother will choose a strong rival for the queen to enter the palace when she is confused.
"That'...... I'm going to be negligent in my words and deedsβ"
Zhen Miao shook her head: "When the time comes, all the people who will go are famous ladies, and your reputation will be ruined if you misbehave." I think, just do the opposite, you dress up beautifully, behave appropriately, and show a little enthusiasm in your eyes, the Queen Mother will probably avoid it. βR1152
