Chapter 182: Wind and Waves

She rushed, the room was suddenly chaotic, Zhao Lun stood close, and the reaction was quite fast, and he rushed forward and grabbed the corner of Han Guilan's skirt, but it was just a hindrance to her, with a crisp cracking sound, the skirt cracked, but Han Guilan's people still rushed forward, Xu Xun didn't react when he stayed in the local area, or Hua'er was quick-eyed, taking advantage of Zhao Lun's moment of blocking her, he hugged forward, and hugged Han Guilan with a full embrace, both of them fell, and overturned two embroidery piers, and the tea on the table was also spilled on the ground by this touch, The scene was dripping with chaos to the extreme.

How can there be such a thing, if you don't help someone, you will die on the spot? Xu Xun was slightly annoyed, but then he was more deeply shocked. Over the years since entering the palace, she has seen the scene of a dead man from afar, where can it be more intuitive than what happened around her? If she hadn't been stopped by Zhao Lun and Hua'er just now, Han Guilan would have crashed into the pillar if she was afraid of it, and there would have been no fake. With the force she used, she couldn't stop the car.

Although I haven't seen anyone touch the pillar, this method of death is also very common in various classics, and it is said that it will burst out of the brain and die a miserable death. Xu Xun wondered, although she was asked to choose again, she would never be elected to the palace, but it was because she had experienced these ups and downs in the palace and could see through it. Han Guilan, a nineteen-year-old girl, came from the barren North Korea to the Central Plains, where the land is vast and rich, as soon as she enters the palace, she is Zhaorong, what is her bitter and hateful, she must not want to be the emperor's concubine?

Xu Xun has never been to North Korea, and he is not familiar with North Korean scenery, so he reflexively wants to ask, "In North Korea, do the daughters of high-ranking officials also have lovers?" ”

In her neighborhood, everyone is not wealthy, and men and women do not avoid going in and out, but there are some who look at each other and make a private life, but if you are a young lady, it is difficult to even go out, let alone meet a foreign man casually. This North Korean daughter, are the rules different from those of the country?

Speaking of which, I seem to have heard that North Korean women who came here in the past also had fornications with their brothers-in-law and neighbors......

Xu Xun shook his head, letting himself not think about it too much, seeing that Han Guilan's eyes were closed, she was trembling from crying, and her dress was tattered and embarrassed. I couldn't bear it when I saw it, so I ordered Hua'er, "Take her down, persuade her not to cry, re-trim her makeup, change her clothes and come out to talk." ”

Naturally, a group of people from all came and dragged the Han family out half-supported and half-hugged, and several people from the capital who came with the Han family also followed, but Xu Xun waved his hand, "Tell me about your nobles, do you know that you don't want to be elected?" ”

Several people looked at each other back and forth, and one of them said, "Back to Niangniang, the nobles rarely talk to us, but they have a lot to say to the nurse Kim who brought from North Korea." But it is true that since entering the palace, the nobles have been depressed, often sighing with tears, and compared with the powerful, she almost never dresses up. ”

It seems that he really didn't want to enter the palace from the beginning, Xu Xun was even more confused, and when he was about to ask carefully, one person said, "Before and after the draft, the nobleman had discussed privately with the nurse many times, and then took out the silver taels and secretly ordered someone to send them out...... Although I didn't tell the slaves and maids, I heard in a trance that this silver was given to Mama Zhou next to the queen's mother......"

When these words came out, several people around Xu Xun couldn't help but be moved, and the palace maid also didn't do anything, and added, "Later, but two days, Kunning Palace rewarded the two nobles, and the nobles secretly went out and went to Kunning Palace to see the queen's thanks." ”

This is clearly not for the sake of thanksgiving, so there is no need to say more. Xu Xun also figured out that the general process should be the same as his own side, and the henchmen came forward to spread the word, and it was nothing to meet him anyway, so he met.

However, a few people around her didn't think like this, as soon as they heard the word queen, everyone suddenly changed color, and Grandma Sun gave Xu Xun a look, and said in a low voice, "Niangniang......

Although it is just these two words, the rich meaning has not diminished in the slightest, and it is all hidden in the winding tone.

"Go down, all of you." Xu Xun dismissed a few people first, "Looking for your nobles, serve more, just talk about her affairs slowly, don't be in such a hurry." ”

Soon only the small high-rises of Yong'an Palace were left in the house. Zhao Lun felt guilty and showed a very earnest mood, and as soon as the people dispersed, he knelt down and said anxiously. "Mother, you can't take this matter seriously. What this woman wants is bizarre, and she has been to Kunning Palace, and she knows ......"

"Even if what you ask is true, what does this have to do with Niangniang, the edict has been promulgated all over the world, can you still regret it?" Mama Sun also said, "According to the rules, if she has this idea of not wanting to be a concubine, she should be dragged out and killed." Niangniang and this girl have never known each other in their lives, but it is not good to break the rules for her. ”

A few high-level officials, you and I said a word, and the words were full of earnest goodwill, completely thinking about the problem from Xu Xun's position, and Mama Zhao said it the most. "The queen mother refuses to agree, there must be her considerations, and now in her eyes, isn't she taking us as nails? Mother, let's not give someone a handle. ”

She has a lot of opinions about Han Guilan, "It's okay to ask for it, if you don't follow her, you're going to hit the pillar...... What a person! ”

"Alright, alright." Xu Xun was also dizzy by this sudden incident, "Don't talk about it." ”

She pondered for a while, but then said, "When she is ready, you can bring her in to see me." ”

Although she didn't dare to disobey the concubine's intentions, several subordinates were also a little emotional, Xu Xun did not explain their unhappiness, she was still thinking about Han Guilan in her heart: Could it be that Han Guilan really has a crush at home, so she doesn't want to be the emperor's concubine, does she still want to go back to North Korea?

It is estimated that her zuihou words played a role, and Han Guilan quickly cleaned up and reappeared in front of Xu Xun, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at Xu Xun, looking forward to it and afraid of being hurt. It looks much cuter than what she just looked. Xu Xun looked at her, and suddenly thought of Xu Xiaomei who came in yesterday - Han Guilan didn't look much like Concubine Han Li, in fact, she didn't look like Xu Xiaomei, but although she was better than Xu Xiaomei, Gu Pan, the envy and amazement of the Yong'an Palace furnishings still leaked a few traces, and this expression was very similar to Xu Xiaomei.

In the past, the concubine of the Confucian Temple gave her special dignity many times, saying that she was born like her sister who died early. Xu Xun was still skeptical at the time, thinking that he really had this luck, and now that he is sensible, he can't help but laugh dumbly when he looks back. She laughed for a while, and then said gently, "Now there is no one else in the house, weishenme doesn't want to be a concubine, you can tell me honestly." Don't mention the modesty of those vain heads. ”

Han Guilan wanted to kneel again, but Xu Xun stopped, she turned her head sideways, and pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, "When my sister entered Beijing in the past, all the ladies and ladies in Beijing were envious of Wuji, and they only enjoyed wealth and glory from now on." Unexpectedly, after only six years of work, the nurse brought back the news of her death...... When the slave went to Beijing, all the ladies and ladies sighed, 'It is a pity that his sister is from Yongle Palace, and she was buried.' Now again'. When he saw him off, there were those who shed tears, slaves...... The slave doesn't want to die......"

She began to cry, but she made it clear. "There are no funeral rules in North Korea, and my family is extremely rich in the local area because of my sister. The slave could have married a royal relative, but who expected his brother to be ruthless, knowing that the slave was mediocre in appearance and not as moving as his sister, he still relied on his authority to select the slave to ......"

It is difficult to give up on her natural beauty, a real beauty, no matter how she dresses up, she is very outstanding, although Han Guilan looks good, but she belongs to the kind of beauty that is very simple to Taoguang, in fact, it is difficult to get out in the palace. Xu Xun understood her thoughts: she didn't want to die, and she had no confidence in her favor, so she was of course more inclined to find another way than an ethereal name.

"You've got to think about it." She said, "If you send it here, according to me, you will never be able to go back to North Korea." If you don't want to be Zhaorong, I can still help you, but if you want to go back to North Korea to get married, I can't help with this. ”

Han Guilan's whole face lit up, she kowtowed to Xu Xun hard, but she couldn't stop it, "Niangniang is deeply grateful, the slave is grateful, and I am willing to repay the grass and the ring!" ”

was stopped by Xu Xun, and she got up and explained, "The slave didn't want to go back to North Korea, my brother is now living in the country, if the slave goes back, he will definitely suffer from his cold eyes - Niangniang is willing to help the slave This time, the slave is satisfied, and the future of his life, so what's the harm in letting Niangniang arrange it?" Even if it is to sweep the land for a lifetime, it is better than ......"

She stopped her mouth and peeked at Xu Xun, a little embarrassment appeared on her face, Xu Xun smiled, "What is better?" It's better to be the concubine of the eldest brother? Your temperament is indeed not suitable to be his concubine, just this uncovered mouth is enough to cause trouble. ”

She thought for a while, and then said, "When the eldest brother comes over recently, I will tell you something, and where you will end up in the future depends on what he means." I remember that in the past, there were Korean women who were also assigned to the palace of the feudal king as concubines. ”

Han Guilan's face suddenly turned pale: The wife and concubine of this vassal king are also going to be martyred.

"Anyway, I'll do my best to tell you." Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh when he saw her like that, "Seeing that you are literate and hyphenated, and your conversation is also elegant, it is not bad to stay in the palace as a female official." ”

Compared to the funeral, of course, it is a very good way out, Han Guilan gave Xu Xun a big gift of throwing her five bodies to the ground, she was in tears, and she also looked at Xu Xun with a little curiosity, "Slave...... The slave begged the queen's mother, and the mother said that this matter was not in accordance with the rules, and when she came to the palace of the concubine today, she only had the idea of what to do...... If there was really no way, I would rather die first, but unexpectedly, the mother agreed to the slave so easilyβ€”β€”"

Xu Xun fully understood the confusion behind her joy, "Don't understand that I want to help you?" ”

Han Guilan nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.

"Perhaps...... It's because you're born like my sister. Xu Xun smiled. Go back, even if you can't do it, you can't do it as usual, and you can't find death. It's your life to live, so why don't you even want your own life in order to be angry with your brother? ”

"Niangniang, what-" Han Guilan sighed and blurted out, she quickly stopped asking, frowned and looked at Xu Xun for a while, "Niangniang, is the slave really very similar to your sister?" ”

Xu Xun suddenly realized the mood of the concubine of the Confucian Temple looking at her at that time, she snorted, and couldn't help but be amused by Han Guilan.

#

Otherwise, what would the Divine Will be worth? According to Han Guilan's own account, in order not to be selected, she has used every trick since she was sick, pretending to be ugly, and being silent, and even in the election stage, she wanted to see the emperor as soon as she entered the palace, but there was no way at all, and she held it for several months, and she was so desperate that she couldn't do it until the beginning of spring. - And Xu Xun here, simply, when the emperor came to see Diandian and Zhuang'er, he spoke directly.

"Don't want to be Zhaorong?" The emperor was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by not wanting to do it?" ”

If you want Han Guilan to die quickly, just say that it's because she doesn't want to be buried. But Xu Xun didn't mean to harm her, she said, "In the draft that day, when you spoke, she didn't go far, and she could see that you were not very satisfied with her appearance." She is a North Korean woman, and she doesn't speak Chinese very well, so she thinks that she is not outstanding in her talents. Then I thought, instead of being a Zhaorong who will not accept favor, it is better to become a female official, and perhaps, there will be a day when I will go out of the palace. ”

Although the emperor did have a mediocre reaction to the Han family, the most taboo thing for the emperor was for others to figure out his intentions, he sighed and said unhappily, "She doesn't know that I won't love her?" The little woman has a lot of eyes, doesn't it mean that the Korean women are all supple? Why don't these two sisters have such a temperament. ”

"If she is wrong, the eldest brother might as well prove it," Xu Xun followed the emperor's words and said, "If you spoil her more, Han Zhaorong definitely doesn't want to become a female official." ”

The emperor was surrounded by Xu Xun, and it took a long time before he suddenly smiled and said, "Good guy, are you putting a trap on me?" It's like you're inviting a pet for her. ”

The two are not related, of course Xu Xun will not be so self-sacrificing, she said, "It's rare that she has self-knowledge, knowing that you didn't take a fancy to her that day." I don't want to compete for favor or anything, I'd rather find another way out, I think she's quite honest...... What do you see? ”

A North Korean woman who is not very good-looking is just a name because of the relationship between her and North Korea. She has self-knowledge and is willing to take the road of female officials, and the emperor has no reason not to be perfect, but he is still slightly displeased, and after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, if you want to be a female historian, then do it." The good master did not do it, but wanted to serve others, so I did what she wantedβ€”let her serve the other with her...... What's that guy's last name? Right? Let her serve the Kwon family. ”

To have this result is already very ideal in Xu Xun's view, although listening to Han Guilan's meaning, her status in North Korea is more noble than that of the Kwon family. But...... Who made you not want to be Zhaorong, besides, after entering the palace, the original superiority and humility will be meaningless. She nodded, "Big brother is really benevolent, our harem women are always nourished by your kindness - I really don't know what kind of blessing it has been cultivated in a lifetime." ”

The emperor was very tight by her, "Okay, okay, you don't mean what you say at all." ”

"Am I not sincere?" Xu Xun really admires the emperor's open-mindedness - if this matter is changed to Emperor Wen, he doesn't want to be a concubine? What do you want, it's not impossible to give death on the spot - after all, it's his own concubine, although he doesn't like it, but some people don't allow others to sprout their own ideas.

She smiled and praised the emperor, "I really think that being able to serve my eldest brother is a blessing that I have cultivated in my eight lifetimes, if I change my master, I am afraid that I will have already been beaten into the cold palace, where can I still come out to be a concubine?" ”

The emperor's canonization of the concubine is the same as cutting first and then playing, although it is a good thing, but looking at Xu Xun's smiling eyes, he unexpectedly has a little weakness, "Isn't it a good thing to seal the concubine?" Why that tone. ”

So he explained to Xu Xun half seriously, half jokingly, "Let you be a concubine, it's also for the sake of Zhuang'er......"

Anyway, Xu Xun understands the truth, and she understands the emperor's mentality even better, although she doesn't know the opportunity, but obviously, in recent days, the queen is becoming less and less favored by the sacred heart...... Her ascension to the throne is not only the emperor's compensation for her, but also a little bit of pinching the queen. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, anyway, whether it is a concubine or a concubine of Huangzhuang, it doesn't matter to her, just show your attitude. She interrupted the emperor's explanation, "You named me to give me dignity, and what do you say about this." Speaking of which, I haven't taken my gratitude seriously......"

When she stood up to salute, she was pulled to her lap by the emperor again, "What kind of salute, such a great grace, you should promise ...... with your body"

After all, when he was old, he was not as eager as when he was young, the emperor and Xu Xun were just fighting, and there was no real sword and footing, the emperor held Xu Xun in his arms and rubbed her sideburns with his lips, "What kind of hair oil is used, it is so fragrant, but it is not greasy." ”

"Just use a little osmanthus oil mixed with water, and Grandma Sun made it herself......" Xu Xun said softly, "It's funny when it comes to this, smell the fragrance a little, pick up the whole bottle and pour it on your head......"

The two talked about homely things, and the emperor asked again, "Then the Han family, how did you ask for it?" Shouldn't you go to the queen for this? ”

It is difficult to see the emperor, but it is still possible to see the queen, and it is clear that it is the queen who is in charge of the palace now, and the emperor is indeed a little puzzled.

"I begged, but the queen didn't answer." Xu Xundao, "It is said that there is no such rule...... She had to beg me again. ”

"Oh?" The emperor was full of interest, "What benefits did I promise you to help her speak?" ”

"She's a North Korean girl, she just entered the palace, what benefits can she promise me?" Xu Xunshu smiled, "I can't think of anything else I'm missing...... She begged me to help, I can help if I can, a few words, what benefits do you want? ”

If you can, you can help...... The emperor was silent for a while before he smiled, "It's said that it's not profitable to be early, Xiao Xun, you are in the realm." ”

"Hey, what kind of realm is this?" Maybe it was because she heard the sincerity in the emperor's words, Xu Xun blushed a little, and she said coyly, "Don't laugh at me, it's really just a matter of one sentence...... There are so many such people in the world, how can they still talk about the realm? ”

There are indeed many benevolent and righteous people in the world, but in this palace, such an ordinary quality is actually extremely rare. The emperor thought of Empress Sun's reply, kissed Xu Xun's temple again, and said with a smile, "Then you can tell me who among your sisters will help people like this." ”

A simple single sentence actually stumped Xu Xun, she thought about it a few times in her heart, and Fang reluctantly said, "What can be in this palace that needs help?" I think Sister Hu and Xianxian will help if they can. ”

And the emperor just smiled and didn't say anything, he gently stroked Xu Xun's arm, and after a while, he said, "I suddenly remembered what happened in Nanjing in the past, Concubine Hui was sick, and you begged me to invite the imperial doctor to come in and see her." ”

Xu Xun was said that he couldn't refute it - Queen Hu was immediately singled out, and she had to be stubborn, "The situation was also special at that time...... Oh, don't talk about this, what's the point of the people behind it. ”

"By the way, your mother came in a few days ago to thank you." The emperor also changed the subject, "Did you talk about some family matters?" How, but if there is any difficulty, if so, just tell me directly. ”

"Difficult...... Nothing to worry about. Xu Xun thought for a while, "I just feel that there is too much money, and I am left alone with my younger brother, I am afraid that the child will not be able to control it, and he will be taken bad in the future." - Oh, and also, he has reached the age of kissing, and he will start to pay attention to his daughter-in-law. ”

"It's a big deal," the emperor cared about his brother-in-law, and in the blink of an eye, it was an idea, "I remember in the British Mansionβ€”"

"Don't!" Xu Xun took out his life to stop it, "I can't climb high!" ”

"What's so high about this?" The emperor was a little unhappy, "I look very suitable, if you think this girl in the main room is too squeamish, it is good to find a girl in the other room." ”

It is really good and decent to be able to marry the first duke of the dynasty, but Xu Xun is sincere and refused, seeing that the emperor disagreed, she also told the truth. "A large family, a large population, and many in-laws. There are a lot of troubles, I think I can not get involved in these things, or don't mix up, say a wise girl who is knowledgeable, and the younger brother doesn't have to go out, only at home to keep a good job and study, and do good deeds in his spare time, so that it is a long-term way for his relatives. ”

"Do good deeds and help others...... That's all you're thinking about right now. The emperor couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, "In this way, after a few generations, I'm afraid that there won't be much left of your family business." ”

"So what." Xu Xun did not hesitate, "It's enough to enjoy the blessings of several generations." Just because I am favored, the whole family is booming, are you still not satisfied? Want to be rich for those centuries? I think the more greedy I am, the easier it is to teach my children badly, and I can't afford to toss my children with a big family business...... It's better to be safe and stable like this, but later it was defeated, and with this strict family style, I am not afraid of really ending up with no food and clothing. …… As for helping others, it's something that some of us should do, and there's nothing to say. ”

The emperor was silent when he said this, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Xiao Xun, ......"

"Huh?" Xu Xun is still reflecting on whether the words he said to the emperor were too hard. But to be honest, although the concubine of the Confucian Temple treats her well, she really doesn't want to marry the Zhang family, and what she said just now is also really sincere.

"I'll hand over Zhuang'er to you, I think it's the right one." The emperor bit Xu Xun's earlobe, and suddenly laughed again, he said, "But what to do? The better you are, the worse the others in this house will look...... You're about to take them underground. ”

Of course, Xu Xun was extremely unimpressed by this, and she retorted, "Actually, isn't it because I have your favor, if I don't have favor myself, what else can I do to help others?" Sometimes it's not that people aren't good enough, it's that you don't give people the opportunity to be a good person......"

She was still arguing with the Emperor about this, and the Emperor's hand went around her back, pressed her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. His head was next to hers, tight, leaving no gaps, so that Xu Xun could feel his body temperature-

And that silent sigh.

#

Xu Xun said a few words in the middle, the emperor himself is indispensable, Han Zhaorong turned into a female historian to serve Quan Zhaorong, and it was done quietly, and the first division of the sixth bureau naturally made corresponding changes in the classics-

Soon, in Kunning Palace, the news was also received.

The queen didn't care much at first, but the more she thought about it, the more flavorful it became, and she hurriedly sent someone to call Mama Zhou back and asked, "Do you remember that this Han girl's Zhaorong doesn't want to be the eldest brother?" ”

Mama Zhou was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that she didn't want to be martyred-Niangniang, you also said that this matter is not in accordance with the rules, let her not think too much about it, and go back to live in peace......"

"Hmm." The queen replied thoughtfully, she frowned, and muttered, "Won't the eldest brother be angry when he hears this?" ”

She turned her head and fell into deep thought.

The author has something to say: Updated, my cat is better, I'm sick, sore and groggy 555, the concubine had 3000 words in stock yesterday, and it was written today. Let's see how it is tomorrow......
