The first year after moving the capital must have been very arrogant. Not to mention that the New Year's pilgrimage of the previous dynasty was lively, even the New Year's celebration of the harem was very grand. The most obvious point is that there are several princesses in the harem this year.

The vassal kings generally do not go to Beijing when they have nothing to do, and they only operate near their fiefdoms, and this time the capital was moved to the prosperous era, and several vassal kings also came in the previous dynasty. But the king of Han, who was on the cusp of the storm, although he also asked to go to Beijing to congratulate, was not allowed. However, Princess Han came, King Zhao and Princess Zhao also came, and Princess Dai, Princess An and other princesses of the vassal clan all arrived in the capital in Layue. It is conceivable that of course, the celebration of the whole month of Lap has become more lively, not to mention, and even the number of times has increased.

As a result, Xu Xun and Sun Yunu were also busy -- this kind of family gathering of the old, middle-aged and young generations, it is definitely inappropriate for the younger generation to come forward without one of them. The crown princess directly regarded the two of them as representatives of the princess. Therefore, although he is a humble position, he can only take a sedan chair to the inner palace every day. Take part in these endless dust-washing activities.

Because many princesses of the domain, after becoming married, have not visited their relatives for many years, and even the imperial grandson has not come back to participate in the grand event, this time I definitely want to meet the newcomers in the Taisun Palace, but the princess is not there, so I have to bring Sun Yunu and Xu Xun to meet. When this elder sees the younger generation, it is definitely not good to be empty-handed, and how can he reward two pieces of jewelry that meets the grade. Xu Xun and Sun Yunu got a lot of jewelry, which was not too expensive, but it was also a good thing. The most haode point is that it is rewarded by the princess of the domain, which is different from the jewelry they usually get, and there is generally no engraved name on it. ――It's not engraved, it's not very expensive, and it's still a meeting gift given by the elders, so it's a good thing to use it as a reward. Xu Xun had already left a golden hairpin for each of the four grandmothers. The rest of the palace maids are busy all year round, and she is ready to give them a gold ring, so that they can defend themselves.

Speaking of which, it was because these princesses entered Beijing that Xu Xun saw Zhang Guifei again. The busyness of last year made Zhang Guifei look a little haggard, but her spirit was not bad, and her voice of laughing with the princesses was also very loud. To the juniors, she is still so kind, and when she watches the play, she often calls Xu Xun to sit next to her, and it just so happens that the crown princess also hugs Sun Yunu, so that they don't have to sit next to the low-level concubines in the side hall, they can follow the elders and enjoy the scenery and timbre.

However, Xu Xun sometimes preferred that he could sit in the side hall. Sitting next to Zhang Guifei, she couldn't let go of a string in her heart: this blue treasure phoenix hairpin, although it was taken to her head by her grandson. But if Zhang Niangniang asked, she really didn't know how to explain.

In addition, the seats are all super-grade, and the concubines are piled up, and the pressure on her concubine is also quite great. She was trembling and didn't dare to say a word, but it was better for Sun Yunu to sway freely. ――Several mothers are very interested in Sun Yunu, and from time to time they will pass a look. Sun Yunu is also calm and composed, not a little cramped.

The reason for paying attention to Sun Yunu, everyone knows it in their hearts, but they are all pretending to be confused, among them, the Han princess is the most outspoken, at a certain banquet, Sun Yunu casually said a joke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, smiled back and forth, and smiled at the princess, "Sister-in-law, I didn't say it, it's a pity." I didn't see Concubine Taisun, and I don't know how much character she has, so I feel sorry for this girl. ”

With these words, the whole room quieted down and looked at Sun Yunu. Xu Xun felt embarrassed for Sun Yunu in her heart, she looked at her toes, and she didn't dare to look around, and she didn't know what Sun Yunu's expression was now.

The Crown Princess's tone was also a little surprised, but she was still quite polite, and she said, "What do you say, brother and sister." ”

Of course, Princess Wei of Han is also a beauty, although she is old, she is very well maintained. It seems that she is round and jade, very amiable, and was reminded by the crown princess, she seemed to know that she was speechless, and she held her mouth and smiled, "It's me who lost her words, but I have also heard about this - in the past years in the palace, I have seen several sides of Hushang Palace." I didn't expect her to be so blessed, and now she has a younger sister who is the princess. ”

Xu Xun didn't understand at all, she raised her head blankly and looked at Zhang Guifei, Zhang Guifei didn't seem to be interested at all, lowered her head casually, and asked Xu Xun with a smile, "Why didn't you wear the pair of earrings I gave you today?" ”

Xu Xun's heart immediately hung up now, she didn't care about paying attention to Princess Han's side anymore, and here she pretended to smile naturally, "It's too heavy, it hurts to fall ...... ears."

Zhang Guifei twisted Xu Xun's ear affectionately, and said with a smile, "If I wasn't afraid of delaying you, I really wanted you to enter the inner palace to live with me-but think about it, when you came in, I don't know how much to complain about it, and even the grandson is afraid to complain about me, this is just it, in the future, come in with your sisters to say goodbye." If you live far away, you can't be far ......away."

As he spoke, he asked his grandson again, "Is your grandson still used to living in his new residence?" What grievances did you suffer this summer, and what did you think about Taisun Palace that was not good enough? ”

The two of them were chatting here, and Xu Xun couldn't hear the conversation between the princess of Han and the crown princess clearly, and I didn't know what to say, Sun Yunu suddenly said loudly, "The emperor and the son of tomorrow, I have a reason to act, how can I be wronged in my heart?" Niangniang said this, and the concubine didn't know what to do. ”

This time it shocked everyone, when everyone looked over, Princess Han was complacent, and didn't seem to hear the annoyance in Sun Yunu's words at all, she slowly picked on the veins on the orange, but smiled warmly at Sun Yunu, and said, "For other things, my father is naturally a clear candle and strategist, but this marriage is difficult to say." Far away, not near—"

She snorted at Princess Zhao, smiled again, and then said, "But it's nothing, there are no children, the marriage of the heavenly family is not respected by men, if you don't like it, it will be abolished-"

"Brother and sister!"

"Princess!"

The crown princess and Zhang Guifei spoke at the same time, Xu Xun had never seen the crown princess have such frost on her face, and her usually kind face is now completely hung up. However, seeing Zhang Niangniang's voice, the crown princess calmed down and stopped talking.

In Xu Xun's opinion, Concubine Zhang Guifei didn't want to mix with this muddy water, so she drank Princess Han and stopped talking, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

Princess Zhao was obviously also very uncomfortable, she didn't have more scruples than the crown princess, and directly gave Princess Han two big white eyes, before Wen Yan asked Xu Xun, "Which family are you, and our grandfather Xu's family, but you can't be a relative?" ”

This was obviously asked to change the topic, Xu Xun hurriedly replied, "My father is an ordinary school teacher, who has lived in Nanjing for generations, and his grandfather of the same country is the fate of the same surname. ”

Princess Zhao nodded and said to Concubine Zhang, "Now whether it is a draft in the palace or a marriage for the children of our clan, most of them have chosen these women from good families, and I look very good." If the eldest son of our family chooses a wife in the future, and asks for such a beautiful and sensible daughter of a good family, I will be satisfied. ”

Everyone started the topic and talked about the draft that is scheduled to be held next year. "It's been four or five years since the last draft, and I don't know if I want to pick again next year......

It was easy to disperse, and everyone went back to the palace. Xu Xun had the heart to say a few words to Sun Yunu, but the two of them shared a sedan chair and couldn't speak. Besides, Sun Yunu went to bed that night, and after returning to the palace, she packed up and left, Xu Xun had to gossip with Mama Qian and Mama Sun on duty, she told the two grandmothers about the palace very carefully, and sighed, "How about King Han, I haven't seen it and dare not say it, this Princess Han is really annoying." ”

The two grandmothers were also speechless, and Mama Qian said, "There are some things that she dares to say, and if the prince and the princess say such a thing, it is strange that the emperor is not angry." It's really spoiled, all these years, the king of Han has not seen favor, and his words and deeds are still so presumptuous. ”

"Isn't this a clear intention to sow discord?" Xu Xun was a little indignant, "Our palace is not peaceful, is it good for her?" This person is really damaged. ”

After scolding a few words and showing her noble moral standards, Xiao Xu Jieyu began to humanize, she gossiped, "What is the matter of Princess Kehan, what Hushang Palace is not Hushang Palace, I didn't understand." ”

These four grandmothers can be said to have unique skills, and Mama Zhao is a good hand at housekeeping, taking care of the palace people in an orderly manner, and she is very good at palace rules and etiquette; Mama Sun is very good at interpersonal relationships in addition to dressing up, Mama Li, just the kung fu brought by the Teaching Workshop Division is enough to benefit Xu Xun endlessly, not to mention that she has been married for a period of time and is the most down-to-earth one in the palace, Mama Qian is an old man in the palace, not to mention the practice of human feelings, and she also knows a lot of allusions in the palace. So as soon as he said this, Xu Xun looked at Mama Qian very consciously.

Mama Qian pondered for a moment, and then said, "There are many people who know about this matter, and there is nothing to tell the nobles, you know it in your heart, just don't show it in front of people - Concubine Taisun Niangniang is the youngest daughter in the family, and their family is a wealthy family in Jining, and she originally had an eldest daughter who was selected to serve in the palace." She is smart and clever, she reads poetry and books after learning calligraphy, and she is very loved by Queen Renxiao, and it didn't take long for her to become a female official. In his early thirties, he was already in the Shang Palace, and when he said goodbye to his grandson, he was originally determined to be the concubine of the grandson. But I don't know what is going on, and suddenly I have to go to another election, in short, when the emperor ordered Si Tian to divination, Bu De Xingqi was in the Jinan area, and the emperor asked people to visit secretly, and these draft eunuchs selected the young sister of Hu Shanggong, saying that this woman is quite famous in the local area, and her fate is lucky, and the emperor ordered Hu Shanggong to go home to raise the young sister. Later, during the draft, Zhang Niangniang and the crown princess secretly checked and were satisfied, so they chose the current princess Niangniang. ”

Xu Xun really didn't know that there were so many stories behind the draft she had personally participated in, and she was also fascinated by it, so she couldn't help asking, "Can the big brother be willing?" ”

Whether the grandson is willing or not, it is impossible for ordinary people to know, but doesn't grandma Sun have a right food? Isn't this pair of food still the grandson's big companion? The other two went to see Grandma Sun, and Grandma Sun didn't pretend to be stupid, shook her head, and sighed a few times, "I definitely don't want to, but it's hard to say anything - it's okay if he doesn't say it, and Shunshun will take Concubine Sun on the spot." If it is said to arouse the emperor's temper, Sun Concubine may not be in the palace now......"

It seems that when she and Wang Jin were together, they didn't gossip about their grandson, so they □ know about this matter. Xu Xun didn't have the heart to care about this, she frowned, she didn't know what to doubt, she wanted to ask first: Why does the emperor hate Sister Sun so much. Later, he was even more curious about Hu Shanggong, "Ouch, in this way, this Hu Shanggong is a powerful character, from a palace maid to Shanggong, it's so rare." ”

No matter what the female official says, she is of the same grade, and it is not the same as that of the palace maid. The daughter of a wealthy family, who was elected to serve in the palace, is in her early thirties, and is already in the Shang Palace - behind this simple sentence, the image of a person is simply about to come out. Think about it with a little conspiracy theory, why doesn't the emperor look down on Sun Yunu? Why did Si Tian choose Jinan? Why did you choose Hu Shanxiang? You must know that Hu Shanggong is Shang Palace, in the six bureaus and one division, the most powerful is the Shang Palace of the Shang Palace Bureau, they are responsible for transmitting news inside and outside, feeding back the needs of the inner palace to the foreign ministers, and there is also a great opportunity to meet with the foreign ministers, to say collusion with Si Tian...... This, although it is a fantasy point, can barely be established.

"No matter how powerful it is, it's a thin life." Mama Sun also sighed, "Not long after my sister was crowned the princess, there was an epidemic of plague in Shandong, and the epidemic was gone." This human life is really like papyrus, yesterday it was okay haode, today it is gone. ”

Mama Qian also sighed, and then talked to Mama Sun about the changes of the female officials in the palace.

Xu Xun touched himself for a long time, and when he saw that the topic had changed, he didn't dare to gossip anymore - it is human nature to ask a few words, and to get to the bottom of it, Mama Qian, who is in charge of women's virtues, has to talk about her.

Sitting on the ground, she couldn't help but think of Princess Han's words again, but she felt that there was really no sentence in these words that had no deep meaning and no purpose. When I think about it deeper, I can't help but think crazy.

When he came back to his senses, he also secretly said that Princess Han was powerful - even if she knew that she was sowing discord? If she is a concubine, even if she knows that she is not well-intentioned, I am afraid that she will have to be angry.

Suddenly, she was glad that she was now living in a separate palace with her concubine. Xiao Xu Jieyu shuddered, and was a little melancholy for a while: It's a pity, Zhang Niangniang specially named her to serve in the palace more, otherwise, if she can not enter the inner palace for a while, how good it would be......
