Chapter 62
62 [Each has his own request] Concubine Zhuang's secret + the queen's goal + An Lan's wish
Concubine Zhuang Guifei, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came to Zhaoyang Hall to talk to the queen in person this day.
"Sister Zhuang is really a rare guest." The queen smiled and came over to grab Concubine Zhuang's arm, and affectionately pulled her into the inner hall, and let people serve fragrant tea and snacks.
"The concubine was not very well a few days ago, and the things on her hands were messy, so she couldn't come over to say goodbye to the mother, and I hope the mother won't be surprised." Zhuang Qin's appearance is not beautiful, but her voice is very good, and it is very comfortable to listen to.
"What did my sister say?" The queen smiled sweetly, because she was young, her fine white skin was firm and smooth, and even the pores were not very visible. Zhuang Qin took the tea handed by the palace maid, looked at the queen's complexion carefully, and said with a smile: "Niangniang looks ruddy, and her complexion is really good." ”
"Isn't it?" Zhao Yanrong touched her slippery little face, triumphant. From a twenty-six-year-old female man dressed as an eighteen-nine-year-old sprout, young is the capital, and her skin is not changed, "Thanks to my sister to help me manage a big mess, let me eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, just like filling in the little pig, can the complexion be bad?" ”
Concubine Zhuang laughed: "How can there be such a beautiful little pig in this world?" ”
The queen laughed.
"I'm here today because I want to ask the queen mother to show me."
"Hey, they're all my own sisters, my sister doesn't need to be so polite to me, just say it if you have something to say." The queen really doesn't treat Concubine Zhuang as an outsider at all, this familiar attitude is really as if they are sisters.
Concubine Zhuang pursed her lips and smiled, touched a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to her.
"There are only a few concubines in the palace, and they look really cold. The emperor is empty under his knees, and it's time to make up for some people. ”
The queen's slender eyebrows raised and opened the note.
Zhuang Guifei's words are like people, demure and upright, horizontal and vertical, neat and clean.
"Now there is only one concubine among the four concubines, and she always serves in front of the queen mother, and there are few times when she can serve the emperor. There are also a few sisters in the palace who came from King Kang's mansion, all of them are old men, and the concubines think that they should also be promoted to the position, and they finally have an explanation. ”
The queen glanced at the note, and then smiled sweetly: "It's still my sister who is thoughtful, why didn't this palace think of this?" That's right, the emperor's birthday is in this month, and when the time comes, everyone will be promoted to a higher position, and the big guys will be touched with the emperor's joy, and they will be happy together. ”
When Concubine Zhuang heard her say this, she laughed happily: "If Niangniang thinks it's okay, then please mention it to the emperor, and we can also let the palace province and the internal affairs bureau prepare first, so as not to mess up when we get it." ”
"What my sister thought of, naturally, you said it to the emperor." The queen smiled and returned the note with the name and position of the palace concubine to her, "I have been in the palace for a short time, to be honest, I still don't recognize all the people above, and I don't know what should be promoted and what should not be promoted, sister, you can discuss it with the emperor." As long as the emperor is happy, it will be our blessing, and we will do it as we should. ”
"How did this work?" Concubine Zhuang hurriedly excused herself, "The matter of promotion is a kindness given by the emperor and the queen, and it should be discussed by the two of you." The concubine body is just a list, whether it is suitable or not, it is not up to the concubine body. ”
The queen smiled, and a pair of eyes that could speak brightly flowed: "The emperor hasn't been to Qinghe Palace these days?" ”
Concubine Zhuang Guifei's face was slightly red, and she said with a smile: "The emperor is busy with political affairs, and he doesn't go to me very often." I have a clear soup and little water, and I don't have good tea to entertain when I go, where can I compare to the tea fragrance of the queen's mother. ”
"My sister is laughing at me again." The queen covered her mouth and smiled, bent her eyes and said, "The emperor often tells me that Sister Zhuang is like his own sister, you are a little bit of a big girl, no matter how you go, you can't be cold." I'll talk about him when he comes back. No matter how busy the affairs of the previous dynasty were, I had to take the time to see my sister more. ”
Concubine Zhuang's face darkened slightly.
When the queen talks about the emperor, it is like a housewife talking about a man who works hard outside. After the day's work, it is natural to go home.
Affection? The emperor has a queen, I'm afraid he has already thrown away his previous feelings.
"By the way, I've got a few new decks of cards here, and I'll have someone pick a good one to send to you."
Zhuang Guifei shook her hand again and again and said: "I have also seen people play that card, it is too troublesome, I can't learn it." ”
"No, you see that even Miss Wei from the concubine's place will do, she often comes to my palace to play cards with us, and she plays well, and her little private money is about to be taken to Shoukang Palace." The queen smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, and she didn't know how to cover it with her sleeves.
Concubine Zhuang looked at her, her brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly relaxed.
"She's young, she's got a good brain, and I can't. There are so many things in the palace every day, and it's not enough to bring a brain. Concubine Zhuang said with a smile, "I can't stand it, only the mother is lazy, why don't you take half of this palace affairs over, so that the concubine can be lazy." ”
Ha Lu Ha
Concubine Zhuang talked about going to the palace again. The queen shook her head and said: "It's not been half a year since the last election to enter the palace, what should I say about the emperor if I want to draft a girl again?" The country is newly decided, and it is always difficult to spread rumors that the emperor is lazy with women. ”
Concubine Zhuang didn't think that the queen could agree to this, and she didn't insist, so she just left it at that.
The queen is very talkative, but all she talks about is empty words and can't get a few real words, so Concubine Zhuang retired after sitting on two teas.
Sitting on the shoulders of the eight people, the palace maid Hong Que'er with her said to her: "The queen lady doesn't look as beautiful as the previous concubine, why does the emperor like her so much?" ”
Zhuang Guifei was sitting on her shoulder and was distracted, and when she heard Hongque's words, she said: "Beauty is not beautiful but a skin, and if you see through it, it is just a red face and dry bones, who in this palace can dominate for a long time just by relying on beauty?" ”
"Then the Queen Mother doesn't ......"
"Shut up." Concubine Zhuang glared at her, "It's getting more and more unruly, how did this palace teach you?" One by one, they all relied on the people of Qinghe Palace, and they didn't know how to grow up. ”
The red magpie lowered her head and did not dare to say anything more.
Swayed all the way to Qinghe Palace, was helped off by the palace maid, and Concubine Zhuang walked into the inner hall.
"Mother." A delicate and tender voice sounded, and Concubine Zhuang saw the eldest princess Baozhen at the door of the room, waiting for her with her eyes open.
Bao Zhen is almost four years old, and she is not as tall as her sister Bao Yi. He was skinny, with yellow hair and no blood on his face.
Concubine Zhuang looked at her, a trace of disgust flashed on her face, but she quickly returned to normal, half-squatted down and said, "Baozhen, come, let the concubine hug." ”
Hearing Concubine Zhuang say this, her little face showed joy. She broke free of Grandma's hand and rushed towards Concubine Zhuang.
A four-year-old child is like a piece of paper when he is picked up, and he hardly feels any weight.
"Is our eldest princess well-behaved? Have you eaten well today? ”
Baozhen nodded, and replied very seriously: "Baozhen is very well-behaved, and she has eaten all the rice!" ”
"Good job." Concubine Zhuang reached out and patted her thin back, and then handed the person to the grandmother, "Take it down." ”
"Mother, mother." Baozhen saw Zhuang Guifei at this time, and wanted to talk to her closely, but Zhuang Guifei had already asked her to take her away.
The grandmother carried her out of the house for a long time, and the princess still looked back at Concubine Zhuang from time to time, with a pitiful look on her face.
"It doesn't matter if Celestia lets Celestia play here for a while." The red magpie on the side whispered intercession.
"Shut up." Concubine Zhuang shook her off and walked into the room by herself.
Baozhen looks thin, but as she gets older, her appearance becomes more and more like her biological mother, Xie.
Looking at her, it was as if Xie Shi had come back to life, living by her side, making her feel like a thorn all over her body, painful and itchy.
In the bedroom of the inner hall, there is a small Buddha platform, on which is a small wooden tablet, which is the tablet of the child who died when she was born.
If the child was still alive, he would be as big as Baozhen by now, and he would have thrown himself into her arms coquettishly, calling her one by one.
will pester her to tell stories, will hold her hand and giggle, and will cry when it hurts.
Concubine Zhuang's eyes swelled, and her nose was sour. She waved her hand and told everyone to get out of the way.
"Princess Kang, what if you kill my son? Didn't the queen die early and give up the queen's throne to someone else? Concubine Zhuang Guifei lit an incense stick on the Buddha platform, looked at the white smoke rising and sneered, "You killed my son, but I helped you raise your daughter, aren't you unwilling?" ”
She whispered, resentful and proud: "If you are unwilling, you will crawl out of the grave, you see how good I am to you?" Help you raise your daughter to such an age. But don't worry, when I have a son, she will be useless. I'll send her down to your mother and daughter. You wait, it's almost there! ”
After sending off Concubine Zhuang, Mulan looked at no one around, so she asked the queen: "Didn't you tell the emperor about the promotion of the girls?" Why did Concubine Zhuang say that you didn't plan to do it when she came to it? ”
Zhao Yanrong ate the icy honeydew melon, sat behind the table and said inarticulately: "She wants to buy people's hearts, look at her so hard, so give her a favor." ”
What's so good? You leaked the news to Concubine Zhen, Concubine Hui and Zhang Zhaoyi early in the morning, and Concubine Zhuang Guifei told people that it was her credit, and people would only remember this sentiment in their hearts.
Zhao Yanrong wiped her fingertips with a towel and asked Mulan to bring her sour plum soup.
"This thing is too cold, you should use it less." Mulan saw that she drank a big bowl and wanted a second bowl, so she persuaded her, "Although it is hot now, you should not be greedy for cold." The slave maid heard the grandmothers say that it is not easy for a woman to get pregnant if she is too greedy. ”
"Yo, you know a lot!" Zhao Yanrong grinned, "Our Mulan also wants to have a child?" ”
Mulan's face turned red when she said it: "You eat and drink yours, what do you say all day long!" ”
"Hey, don't be ashamed, we grew up together, so good as sisters, what don't you dare to say to me?" Zhao Yanrong beckoned her to sit in front of her, "You're not too young, it's time to think about yourself, what do you want to find?" Hongu will keep an eye on it for you. ”
"Don't want anything, the slave wants to stay in the palace and serve you for the rest of your life." Mulan said, "In the future, when you have a prince, the slaves and maids will have to serve the prince." ”
Zhao Yanrong stuck out her tongue.
"Okay, when the emperor comes over in the evening, I'll tell him that I'll give you a position, and you can stay with me in the palace in the future."
Mulan hurriedly knelt down, her face turned pale with fright: "Niangniang, Mulan has no such intention!" ”
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Yanrong held her chin and looked at her and smiled, "I mean serious." Which of the women in this palace doesn't want to ascend to the sky in one step? You are in charge of the palace in my Zhaoyang Palace, and you have many more opportunities to see the emperor than others, so you don't have any ideas? ”
Mulan kowtowed and said: "Niangniang, Mulan has self-knowledge, and she never dares to think about the emperor with the appearance of a slave." Just want to be by your side for the rest of your life, and you will be satisfied. ”
"Really?"
"Really, if the slave and maid have the slightest dissatisfaction, let the slave and maid be hit by five thunders from the sky, and they will not die well."
"Alright, I'm going to tease you, hurry up." Zhao Yanrong smiled and hooked her hand, "Help me pinch my legs, and we can go to the yard to practice in a while." ”
Mulan's back was wet with sweat, and after listening to the queen's instructions, she quickly got up from the ground and went to relieve her legs in fear.
"You gave it to me from your uncle, and you grew up with me, so I naturally think about you." Mulan had a big hand and pinched her legs just right, Zhao Yanrong leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes slightly and said to her, "Don't blame me for scaring you like this." I really can't see that the people around me have crooked thoughts. ”
"It's not that you want to climb the branches, but you have crooked thoughts." Zhao Yanrong said softly, "If you have that ability, you can make the emperor look down on you and be proud of you, that's your ability." I won't be angry with you if there is a day. In the end, that is the emperor's mind, and it is not something you can avoid. But if someone has a crooked mind and belittles herself and harms others, I will never tolerate her. ”
Mulan's heart was like a drumstick, and she didn't dare to answer, so she only pinched her legs, and her throat was astringent and painful.
"Mulan, you have been in the palace with me for almost half a year, everyone yearns to come to the palace, and my sister, who thinks highly of herself, is also thinking about drilling into it, but what did she get?" Zhao Yanrong opened her eyes, "She is still in the Huanyi Bureau, and she has endless work, endless suffering, and endless tiredness every day." Is this the life she wants? There are thousands of women in the palace, and there is only one man in the emperor. If you tie your life to the emperor alone, those lives are not bad enough. ”
The queen paused for a long time before sighing: "In this palace, there is a big pit, and there is no bottom. The body is in, and there is still a day to be able to get out. If the heart also falls in, there will never be a day to turn over. Do you understand what I said? ”
Mulan nodded seriously and said, "The slaves and maids understand." Don't worry, don't dare to say it anywhere else, the people in this Zhaoyang Hall know that no one will have that kind of delusion. Take the former Concubine Rong as an example, she is so beautiful and powerful in her family. At that time, the emperor almost spoiled her to the sky, how many people in this palace were envious and jealous, but what could they do later? But in three months, three months fell from the clouds into the quagmire. The family is also defeated, and the people are gone, and the emperor is afraid that her shadow will be gone. With her standing in front, no matter how much he has that kind of mind, he must weigh his own weight in his heart. ”
"If only you understood." The queen said faintly, "I don't know when this palace will be peaceful and quiet." ”
Both the master and the servant were speechless.
This is the Imperial Palace, and it is also a battlefield without gunpowder.
There are as many hidden enemies as there are women here.
What about Concubine Zhen, Concubine Hui and Zhang Zhaoyi? The emperor's former woman is still so old.
Concubine Zhuang was so calm and calm in front of her, but after the emperor favored the queen for two months, she began to be unable to sit still.
Zhao Yanrong turned the magnolia ring in her hand and licked her lips.
I still have to give birth to a son soon.
With a child, she doesn't have to suffer so much, and her position will be more stable.
Even if Li Rui's mind is not on her in the future, she has nothing to be sad about.
No matter how you raise a child, it is more fulfilling than teasing a man!
When Li Rui came over in the evening, Zhao Yanrong and the three palace maids had just finished exercising, and they hadn't had time to take a bath.
Li Rui looked at her sweating profusely, and asked the palace people to bring a big cloth towel to wipe her face: "What are you doing?" Such a sweat. ”
"I'm teaching Mulan how to box."
"The queen also boxs?" The emperor's eyes are wide open, when will his wife be actually all-round in civil and military affairs, and she will also be able to work hard?
"It's just a little trick that women use to defend themselves." Zhao Yanrong said with a smile, "How can you say that the concubine is also after the gate, and my grandmother's good kung fu has always been passed on to future generations." ”
Li Rui couldn't imagine what kung fu the eldest princess of Pingyang would pass on to her daughter, but thinking of Pei Jin's delicate and weak appearance, it didn't seem like she knew kung fu.
"If your aunt could have done some work back then, she wouldn't have been bullied so pitifully."
"What does this have to do with kung fu?" Zhao Yanrong untied her braided hair and said to the emperor, "That's simply a problem with her temperament." I want to be a lady and a good wife, and I don't dare to say anything out loud, but I can still expect her to fist and kick men? ”
"By the way, the day after tomorrow will take people into the palace," the queen threw the big black braid behind her back and elbowed it to the emperor, "How are you prepared there?" ”
"Don't worry." The Emperor raised an eyebrow and laughed sneakily with the Empress.
took a bath and ate, and the two were turned red after the lights went out as usual.
Finally, the bed tent stopped swaying, Li Rui gasped and pressed on Zhao Yanrong, enjoying the afterglow, and refused to go down for a long time.
Zhao Yanrong practiced during the day and accompanied Li Ruilundun at night, and her physical strength was a little unable to keep up, so she lifted the desperately heavy man aside, and gasped for a long time before saying, "Sister Zhuang Guifei is here with me today." ”
Li Rui was slightly stunned: "Zhuang Qin? What did she come to do? ”
Zhao Yanrong turned over and said word by word to Li Rui's face: "What to do?" I'm the Queen, and of course she's here to say goodbye. ”
Li Rui touched his nose and said with a smile: "It's just a question, and I didn't say that she shouldn't come to ask for peace, why are you angry." ”
"No gas!" Zhao Yanrong flipped her body, turned her back to him, and didn't speak.
"And said it was out of gas." Li Rui pulled the person back, "It's just angry." Come, tell me, what did Zhuang tell you? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that you haven't been to her in a few days." Zhao Yanrong said lazily, "Also, you see Tian'er tired of being in the Zhaoyang Palace of the concubine, who have you seen these days!" ”
Li Rui laughed: "Maybe she has something to say to me, it's not what you think." ”
"Isn't it?" Zhao Yanrong simply sat up, "She is your concubine, I haven't seen you for many days, it's right to think about it, yes, no, no, you can still say that it's not what the concubine thinks?" ”
Li Rui also sat up, hugged his wife in his arms and said, "I told you last time that Zhuang's family is like a sister to me, and our relationship is not like that of other men and women. Don't eat her jealousy, she has had an easy time over the years. ”
"Then you tell the concubine, what is the difficult method, if you don't say anything, how can the concubine understand her, how can you not eat her jealousy?" Zhao Yanrong sat on him, shook it coquettishly twice, and suddenly stiffened.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Liuliu Liu......" Because she didn't care, she sat on Li Rui's lap, and the things that Li Rui had just gotten in were hot and wet and flowed out, making Li Rui's legs.
Zhao Yanrong has never been so embarrassed as now even if her aunt was touched by the emperor, and her hair is about to burn.
"Then let's wash before we talk?" Li Rui was not embarrassed at all, and he felt very interesting when he looked at his wife who had blown up his hair.
"Rub it, rub it!"
Seeing Li Ruijing standing up naked, the white and turbid puddle on her thighs was slowly flowing downward, Zhao Yanrong almost went crazy, grabbed a piece of cloth and went to wipe him, and when she finished wiping, she found that it was her own bust......
Li Rui Ha Da Lu smiled, picked up the queen, and walked to the clean room barefoot.
"An Lan, what do you think of the queen's treatment of you?" Concubine Wei was lying on the bed early, Wei Anlan was sitting on the pedal in front of the bed, embroidering a picture of a lotus leaf fish by the light, and when she heard the concubine's question, she raised her head and smiled at her.
"The queen is very good, treat me well." Wei Anlan replied to her very seriously, "I've looked carefully these days, she is a straight person, and whether she is happy or not is on her face. ”
Concubine Wei nodded and said, "Yes, she is still like this." When she first entered the palace, she dared to show her face to the queen mother and the emperor when she was unhappy, and she didn't talk about anyone's feelings, and the emperor was very annoyed. ”
Wei Anlan thought for a while and said, "It's not like you said. The queen's joy and anger are only directly displayed in front of us. Sometimes when we talk together, if someone from outside, or a concubine who is not very familiar comes to say goodbye, she will always hold it, as if she has changed into a different person, so high, unattainable, it is very imposing. ”
"I feel that she has a true temperament in front of the emperor, dare to say and dare to think and do, so the emperor likes her."
Concubine Wei shook her head and said, "That's different. She used to dare to say and do the same in front of the emperor, and the emperor was tired of her to the extreme. ”
"At that time, the queen must not have liked the emperor yet." Wei Anlan put down the embroidery in his hand and said to the concubine, "I have also seen the emperor come over in Zhaoyang Palace, haven't you seen it, the queen looks at the emperor, and her face can shine with light, that kind of beauty is particularly exciting." The emperor too, the smile is not only on his face, but also in his eyes, in every strand of hair, the whole person seems to be able to shine. Those two people were together, and only each other was left in their eyes. ”
Concubine Wei was silent.
"It makes people feel that the two of them are a natural pair, a pair of ground matches, and no one can insert them." Wei Anlan said to the concubine in a soft voice, "Niangniang, at the beginning, An Lan had some thoughts about the emperor, but that was a long time ago. It's just a young and ignorant child's admiration for heaven, not the love between men and women. Looking at them, I sometimes think that there are really sincere feelings in this world. If there is a person who can look at me with such eyes, I am willing to die for him. ”
Concubine Wei stretched out her hand, touched her head and said, "Yes, Anlan, there will definitely be a good man who likes you and holds you to cherish in his hand." ”
Wei Anlan lowered her head, but what she thought in her heart was that she didn't know which man could make her shine as dazzling from the inside out as the queen looked at the emperor.
The author has something to say: Have you noticed that the emperor rarely says "I" when he is with the queen now, and the two of you come and go, more and more like a family at home!
