Although Han Zhaorong is missing, in fact, the number of people in the canonization ceremony prepared by the Ministry of Rites has not changed - Luo Concubine's canonization edict came down on the day of Zuihou in February, as the prince's biological mother, she still enjoyed certain special treatment after all, and there were about more than 20 words of separate praise. Kunning Palace also invited a few concubines with a good relationship to celebrate it, although Xu Xun also received the post, but he didn't want to go, so he found an excuse casually, and the queen didn't invite again.

However, He Xianxian is here, gossip will not be heard less, after going to Kunning Palace, He Xianxian came to her for tea, she was mainly curious about Luo Concubine's personality, after all, before she rose, no one in the palace knew anything about this bird-feeding Xiaodu person.

"It's really a stocky girl's family," He Xianxian said a little puzzled, "She looks like that, I really don't know how my eldest brother fell in love with her." If you want to talk, the prince is more than a year old, and after more than a year of good life, he is still silent on the scene, although it is to celebrate her canonization, but she only cares about eating vegetables, and she doesn't have much to say to us. ”

Xu Xun is actually not interested in Luo Concubine's personality, and now everyone in the palace values her so much, just because she is the biological mother of the prince, she will not look down on this kind of person, but when the queen is still alive, it is actually a very taboo thing to bet on Luo Concubine. Anyway, Concubine Luo is still living in Kunning Palace, and the more interest she shows to her, the more dangerous her situation will become, so when she usually asks for peace in Kunning Palace, she never cares much about Concubine Luo. - And as far as her situation is concerned, no matter what Concubine Luo's true character is, of course, the more honest and boring she is, the safer she is, and if it really depends on her character, it depends on who can live between the queen and her.

"Looking at it on weekdays, the queen treats her quite kindly." She casually accosted He Xianxian, "You don't have to be sharp-tongued, and you can't treat her badly, of course you can be silent." ”

"You have what you say," He Xianxian also smiled, "Could it be that the sharp teeth are all forced to make it for others to see, and people are not allowed to be born clever and love to talk?" ”

"Xu," Xu Xun said with a smile, "Isn't there a clever guy sitting in front of me?" That's called a love to say, croaking, no less than a duck. ”

He Xianxian hahadaxiao, "Hate! I know you're hurting me around the bend. ”

This meal was fruitless, and He Xianxian was mainly curious about how the emperor looked down on Concubine Luo, but the postpartum figure did not recover well, so the fat women were not one or two, and this topic was extremely meaningless. She then turned to gossiping, "How are you doing here?" ”

Since He Xianxian and the queen eyebrows came and went, several grandmothers around Xu Xun have been very wary of her, although they didn't dare to persuade Xu Xun to stay away from her, but the meaning of the words was also to let Xu Xun think more before talking to her. - This way of thinking with a strong sense of battle is not something that Xu Xun can change when he says it, but she doesn't feel the need to stay away from He Xianxian, and after listening to her question, she said, "To be honest, after all, it's not my own child, although I hugged it at such a young age, but I still didn't look like that, and I naturally kissed it." ”

"That's for sure." He Xianxian also said, "But are the feelings all raised, and after a few months, it is estimated that you will get used to it, right?" ”

"It's okay, anyway, I hug and mix with a little bit every day," Xu Xun said, "Such a young child, that is, eating, drinking, and Lazar, has not yet learned to recognize people, and there is nothing to say." ”

"Zhuang'er is six months old now, and he hasn't learned to recognize people yet?" He Xianxian was interested, "Could it be that I walked over and took him away, and he didn't cry?" ”

"Well, he's just not afraid of life at all, and he doesn't like to play with people." Xu Xun said that he let the two children come by the way, and when He Xianxian picked up Zhuang'er and walked out of the house, he really didn't react, and he was not afraid of life, so he just played with himself in He Xianxian's arms.

"This kid is also worry-free," He Xianxian thought he was quite cute, held him in his arms and teased him for a while, and said with a smile, "At least it's better than the weed, when the weed is so old with him, the nurse has to take turns to hold it, and if you don't put it down for twelve hours, you will cry when you put it down." ”

To tell the truth, no matter how you say it, but for these concubines, the feelings poured into their children are far less than the feelings that their parents pour into themselves, the reason is also very simple, after all, the energy paid is not much, how much care is usually given, but the real labor, tired to bring, or the adoptive mother and the nurse, when the child is young, he still lives in the mother's palace, and when he is older, he moves out directly, and sooner or later he comes to ask for a peace and it's over. Therefore, there will be a phenomenon that the adoptive mother and the nursing mother have a deeper relationship with the child. It's not like when they were young, because the family was not rich enough, they were all brought by their mothers themselves, and the emotional ties were a little thicker. Xu Xun was also in the months when he lived in Nannei, because he couldn't see Diandian, he realized how deep his feelings for the child were, and after she came back, she was fine, she basically put Diandian by her side, and the mother-daughter relationship was so good. He Xianxian here, if she wasn't frail and sickly, she wouldn't be so worried.

As for Zhuang'er, one is not biological, and there is a very good belt, and he will play there by himself if he has nothing to do, and he is not very happy to interact with people, although he is a worry-free angel baby, but because of this, basically everything is done by the adoptive mother, and Xu Xun is not annoyed, so although it has been sent to her here for two or three months, Xu Xun still has no mother's consciousness for him, sometimes looking at Zhuang'er, thinking that she has a little headache after a few years - the boy speaks late, but unless he is mute, he will speak at the age of two. When the time comes, if the adoptive mother teaches him to call himself 'mother', should she acquiesce or stop it? It's not that she's hypocritical, but I always feel that when this mother screams, there will really be contact between the two people, and she has to pay some ...... She didn't know what it was, but at least Xu Xun felt that she didn't have the ability to do it now, or she was reluctant to respond to this 'mother'.

"Isn't it yet? Zhuang'er is really good to bring, according to Qi Yangniang's saying, he sleeps at the beginning of every day, gets up at night, feeds, and sleeps after serving, and never makes trouble at night or cries at night," Xu Xun said, "When I was so old, I was teething, and I cried so much that Mama Qian didn't close her eyes at all at night." ”

Speaking of which, I suddenly thought that Zhuang'er should also have teeth, I don't know if it has grown, so I coaxed him to open his mouth to look, it turned out that before he knew it, he had already grown two lower incisors. Xu Xun exclaimed, "Huh? Teething didn't make a fuss, did it? This kid is really well-behaved. ”

Zhuang'er didn't say that he didn't react to people at all, Xu Xun was teasing him with a piece of cake in his hand, he wanted to go enough, Xu Xun hurriedly asked Qi Yangniang, "You haven't given him a cake yet, have you?" ”

"I'm thinking I'll eat something else in seven months." Qi Yangniang and Xu Xun have been dealing with each other for a few months, and they also understand her temperament, so they didn't deliberately flatter, and said very plainly, "It's better to let him nurse now." ”

Xu Xun will never ignore expert advice in parenting, and when he was about to put the cake back in its place, he smiled and staggered in, and saw Xu Xun holding the cake in his hand to feed his younger brother, so he shouted, "Brother! I'm going to feed my brother! ”

The two-year-old child, when he likes the same kind, is very happy to see the appearance of Zhuang'er, and he often pinches j□j's to make it, but fortunately, Zhuang'er doesn't like to cry, and everyone goes with her. Before Xu Xun could stop her, he grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into Zhuang'er's mouth, "Brother eat!" ”

Zhuang'er is a child, how can he know what to choke on, the smell of flower cake is sweet, and it is obviously tempting to him, such as dropping a piece today, he opened his mouth wide and cooperated to eat, but before the adult stopped it, he had been fed half a piece a little bit, Xu Xun exclaimed, and hurriedly stretched out his fingers to dig. Fortunately, Zhuang'er didn't choke, but he just thought the flower cake was delicious, pursed his mouth and shook his head to avoid Xu Xun's fingers, sucking the cake there, and was not in a hurry to swallow it. Xu Xun tried to force him to open his mouth several times, but he was not happy, and finally cried.

Xu Xun is like a child who has done something wrong, and he gave him back to Qi Yangniang in a sneering manner, glaring at him a little here, not wanting to be a little consciously kind, and not saying anything when he was stopped, this will be coldly looked at by Xu Xun again, and he felt wronged early, and he cried out with a wow. The cries of the two children came and went, causing chaos in the whole room. The adoptive mother and the nursing mother rushed up, coaxing, coaxing, picking, Xu Xun and He Xianxian sat on the side and became a foil.

It's okay to be yourself, He Xianxian is a guest after all, Xu Xun is a little embarrassed, "Let's go to the back garden for a walk." ”

pulled He Xianxian out of the house, away from the shrill crying, she said, "If you have a child, it's a mess." ”

"It's nothing." He Xianxian shook his head, and also sighed a little, "I envy you...... Not for Zhuang'er to be a boy, but also for the sake of having someone to accompany him, both children are healthy and lively, and how lively they are. You also know that there are 365 days a year, and there are always 200 days in bed, how old are the little girls, skinny, and not yet 30 pounds. ”

She sighed softly, looked at her feet and said, "When I didn't give birth to a weed before, I thought that I would always have to have a child, and I was young at that time, and I didn't feel anything. In the past few years, the eldest brother has rarely come, and the weechard is so weak, sometimes I get up in the morning, open my eyes and look at the top of the bed, I feel that the sky outside is gray, and I don't even have the strength to get up. ”

Xu Xun didn't expect He Xianxian to suddenly become sentimental, and he didn't know how to reply for a while, and after a while, he said, "Just for the sake of the weed, you can't think like this, isn't this kid pointing at you now, missing your mother......"

"Without me, she will take care of her like an adoptive mother." He Xianxian shook her head and said, "Maybe she is more attentive than me, but she is looking forward to the growth and marriage of the weed, so she can go out with her to be a grandma......

She smiled a little sarcastically, and added, "You see, even she has more hope than I have—sometimes I think, I'll just wait, and on the day before the wee gets married, I tell her that I can't leave her, and leave her with me—and I'll see what the expression on her face will be!" ”

When she said Zuihou's words, there was a vague amount of ruthlessness on her face, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel a chill when she saw it, and she said softly, "Why do you have to think like this!" ”

He Xianxian shook his head and changed into a smiling face, "I'm just thinking about playing...... I'll tell you the truth, can weeds ...... Alas, it's hard to say whether it will grow into a big man. I was sick last winter, and I haven't gotten out of bed since the beginning of spring......"

Xu Xun was also a little compassionate, but no matter how comforting this kind of thing was, it was an itch in her boots, she sighed, "The weather is getting warmer, it should be better in the summer, don't think too much, this kind of thing can't help but think, don't be fine, you're down." Didn't they all say that those who are sick and plagued can live a long time? Look at the concubine of the Confucian Temple, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Jing, which one is not sick and calamitous, Concubine Xian was still sick and dying at that time, and now she has not all carried it. ”

"Yes!" He Xianxian exhaled, cheered up, and said with a smile, "Have you been busy lately?" I heard from the people of the Shanggong Bureau that a lot of satin alone has been shipped from Nanjing recently. The tailors are all working on the clothes, and the jewelers must be very busy. I don't think you have anything to do here, so I'll take care of the children. ”

"I'm fine, I'm just changing my number...... If it weren't for the sake of giving the treasure, why do the same gift again? Xu Xundao, "I also said that the previous dresses were kept, and there was no need to do them anymore, but they didn't listen to them, so they still made them and sent them." The people who are really busy are the people below, what else do we have to do except be idle? ”

"Yes, every day is idle, and then go to the middle palace to sit...... Now that I have an identity, I don't know how to play stupidly as I used to. He Xianxian sighed, "To be honest, I'm not in the mood, when I first entered the palace in the past, a swing could play for an afternoon, how can I be so interested now." I think the queen is better, not so boring, and there are a lot of things in the palace every day, and she often tells me that she is tired. ”

Recently, I want to canonize the newcomers, clean up the house, and distribute the shares of each season, the queen does have more things, Xu Xun nodded and did not respond, He Xianxian glanced at her, and said with a smile, "What, you still hate her in your heart?" ”

"It's not about being angry," Xu Xun said, "I don't think she's interesting and unworthy of attention." ”

"Your shelves are big enough." He Xianxian said, "She is thinking about hello to you, you pushed her back last time, she didn't dare to ask you face-to-face, she just asked me to be a lobbyist for a while." I want to renew my old friendship with you. ”

Xu Xun has already shown her attitude obviously, but the queen is still so enthusiastic, and she is really helpless - it may be that this is the queen's strategy, through repeated overtures and repeated refusals, she has created an impression in the court that she has a cold attitude towards her, and the main fault of the deterioration of the relationship between the two sides is her. But although Xu Xun knew this, there was nothing she could do, she couldn't beat the queen up, and she was strictly forbidden to continue to show herself, okay? "Do you believe she is really good with me?"

"I didn't believe it at first." He Xianxian said, "Didn't I mention this to you, but after a recent contact, I also think that she is really not angry with you, and really wants to be good with you...... She told me that she was angry with you and thought you didn't believe her. suspected that she wanted to harm Concubine Luo and looked down on her. Now that it's been a long time, I'm gradually getting angry, you will be a concubine in the future, your status is only below her, the discord between the two is always not good-looking, and I'm embarrassed to play with Zhuang'er more in the future...... Oh, anyway, to put it bluntly, that's what it means, to have a good relationship with you, one is to prevent the Queen Mother from having a chance, and the other is to not embarrass the eldest brother, after all, he spoils you so much, you have a dispute with her, and the eldest brother is also difficult to be. I think, no matter what, she is also the queen, you give her some face, everyone is kind, you can feel at ease in the palace in the future, you don't have to act for fear that she will grab your pigtails. ”

After all, she is a queen, and even He Xianxian will be a lobbyist for her, Xu Xun smiled casually, "Then you can also help me reply to her...... If I want to be sisters to her, that's impossible. I just don't look down on her, but she can rest assured, I don't mean to deal with her, as long as she doesn't come to deal with me, everyone will live their own lives, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. ”

"That'...... What if she is going to come against you? He Xianxian has always been agile, and quickly grabbed Xu Xun's words, "If that's the case, what are you going to do—you tell me, and I promise not to tell her." ”

"I don't think she'll deal with me." Xu Xun thought for a while, "She just begged me not to deal with her, I won't make trouble, she still wants to make trouble?" Probably not. ”

"It could be." He Xianxian smacked his lips. "She's quite bearable, you're so faceless, and now she's smiling at you...... However, the more people can endure, the more ruthless they are often be. If you don't give face so much, maybe she will endure it for a few years, and she will give you a hard blow. ”

"Eldest sister, she is the sky, and there is still a sky in the sky." Xu Xun laughed and laughed, "The sky is clear, everyone is watching, her own troubles can't be annoyed, she still has the heart to mess with me?" ”

"This may not be, the old man is an old man after all, if it is a sudden illness......" He Xianxian didn't continue.

"You can't look at this like that, the more you want to ask for peace of mind, the more you want to think about it for the future, you will never have peace of mind now." Xu Xun shook his head, "There may not be so many things, I think it's quite good right now." ”

He Xianxian was a little stupid, but he couldn't say anything.

#

The canonization of Concubine Luo, as far as Xu Xun's understanding goes, has not caused any waves between the government and the opposition, even if someone notices the surname Luo and thinks of the rumor-mongering case more than a year ago, of course, they will not question or discuss anything, so as not to be sent to be with the Luo family as companions. Of course, if Han Zhaorong disappeared from the list of canonization ceremonies, no one would say anything more. Now that the crown prince has been decided, the emperor actually has a second son to do double insurance, compared with the days of the previous years, the courtiers' happiness is generally stronger, and the focus has completely shifted from the harem, and they have gone to work on their own business.

-- As for the canonization of Xu Xun as a noble concubine, when the queen's title has been decided, those courtiers who had to even come out to fight for the title of a virtuous concubine in the past are now all silent. From the edict to the canonization, everything was smooth and without waves, Xu Xun put on his full clothes, and completed his canonization ceremony again with sweat in the warm spring of March. Almost all the details are no different from the one three years ago, except that there is an extra treasure seal, and multiple treasures are standing on the side. What's more, the shape of her clothing is different from three years ago, and dragon patterns appear on the jade leather belt.

Of course, the dragon pattern is not the emperor's patent, the queen's dress also has a dragon pattern, and she wears a dragon crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, but the dragon pattern of the imperial concubine's dress is unheard of and has no precedent, when she canonized Sun Guifei, Xu Xun was not on the side, even if she did not observe this, but she didn't pay attention, I believe that someone will also pay attention, and I didn't hear the rumors afterwards, so it can be seen that there seems to be no such thing. Xu Xun also wanted to know if this change was a rule, which could be regarded as proof that the noble concubine was superior to the concubine and closer to the queen - she hoped that no one would notice this small change and avoid talking about it afterwards. It's a pity that this hope is destined to prove to be very naïve, when helping her dress, several grandmothers have already noticed this change, when Xu Xun received the book, she could feel the eyes of several reading treasure attendants sweeping around her waist, there is no doubt that they must have discovered this change.

Although there must be news circulating during the production process, but that is a matter of craftsmen and foreign courts, as long as the host eunuch is more tight-lipped, the inner palace may not know - but it may not be true after today, fortunately, the population in this palace is simple, if it is the same as the last years of Emperor Wen, the palace is full of mountains and large populations, Xu Xun estimates that he can be told by others.

After the concubine was ordained, he was going to meet the Queen Mother and the Queen as usual, and it was only at this time that Xu Xun felt that he was really a careless person. - The Queen Mother and the Queen didn't need to be reminded by the people around them, their eyes seemed to be open, and with a sweep, they stared at only one piece of the jade leather belt that was exposed.

Of course, the reactions of the two people are not consistent, the queen mother is a surprise, the queen...... Shocked first and then laughed, he didn't seem to care much. Although Xu Xun had just rejected her overtures mercilessly through He Xianxian, she was still very kind to Xu Xun, and she could even be said to be a little courteous.

After the canonization ceremony, the original Concubine Zhuang seal was handed over without use, and it is said that even the palace utensils had to be re-engraved with the name of the concubine of Yong'an Palace, but Xu Xun felt very troublesome, so he avoided this encounter, and another change, that is, Xu Xun will take care of his palace affairs in the future, and it is said that he will use the treasure instead of the seal. However, Baoxi is formal, she feels that it is not necessary, after getting her hands, she will put it in the cabinet, and put it together with the dress or something, and if she usually has any place to use the seal, she will use a small private seal of her own.

And then...... There is no change, how to live or how to live, but this time is not leisurely, according to the order in the edict at that time, Yuan Concubine, Zhu Concubine, Quan Zhaorong, Li Jieyu, all of them were canonized, Xu Xun often had to wear regular clothes, ascended to the main hall, and accepted their audience. As a high-ranking concubine in the palace, she has to say a few more words of encouragement, because she is in the queen mother and queen's position, and it is often lunch time after the visit, and she can't help but reward some snacks.

Only when Quan Zhaorong came over, he also thanked her for taking care of Han Guilan, "The slave has been persuaded many times, but he can't be persuaded to turn around, go to the country for thousands of miles, only the sisters support each other, I am really worried that she will offend the nobles and incur crimes, and the slave slave is alone in the palace, thank you Niangniang for taking care of it, and let the slave slave have many sisters as companions." She is now by the slave's side, and her food, clothing, and daily life are the same as the slave, and she is much happier. ”

Xu Xun's heart was like a mirror, and he just smiled on his face, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

Quan Zhaorong saw that Xu Xun's reaction was cold, and he didn't talk much, and seemed to be a little disappointed, but it was only faint, and he bowed and withdrew. Lan Er smiled beside Xu Xun and said, "I just entered the palace, and I have already begun to find a backer for myself, Quan Zhaorong has a deep thought." ”

I want to talk to Xu Xun through the history of Han Nushi, and I also want to see if Xu Xun has this interest, now with her status and status, she wants to live a small life behind closed doors, and even the queen can't stop it, Quan Zhaorong's words are nothing.

"There's no need to say that, after all, it's not easy for her," Xu Xun didn't have any contempt, "We don't help, and we don't have to say anything cool." ”

Although there are many people who want to hug the concubine's thighs, except for Quan Zhaorong, no one can have anything to say, and after Li Jieyu has come, there will only be one Luo Concubine left, and Xu Xun will be able to return to normal life.

- That is, this Luo Concubine, when she came, she brought more people with her than anyone else, and she was really very imposing, Xu Xun swept over at a glance, and saw at least two or three familiar faces. She couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart: how high the queen's precautions for her are, the servants around Concubine Luo have already behaved clearly, and she can't even believe what she said, 'The well water does not interfere with the river water', so why talk about rebuilding the old good?

Seeing that the time was about to pass noon, she knew that Concubine Luo must be hungry early in the morning, and she would go to Concubine Hui in a while, so she still let Concubine Luo have a snack, "It's good to pad the stomach, the weather is hot, the dress is heavy, and it is easier to faint when you sweat." ”

Seeing the grandmothers around Concubine Luo, they also saw sweat on their faces, and said, "At the end of April, I have to wear such clothes for a morning, it's really hard, and the grandmothers might as well use some mung bean soup to relieve the heat." ”

The elders didn't dare to resign, whether they were willing or not, they had to kneel down and thank them, naturally someone led them out to eat, and the house was empty for a while, Xu Xun smiled, "It's much cooler now, there were so many people in the house just now, even I feel hot, I'm afraid you will be even more depressed." ”

A brief smile danced at the corner of Luo Concubine's lips, but this smile was like an unwielding fire, and it was extinguished in a flash. She suddenly put down the bowl, fell to her knees with a bang, solemnly kowtowed to Xu Xun three times, didn't say a word, sat up again, picked up the bowl, and stuffed the soup inside into her mouth with a big gulp.

This sudden performance made the room fall silent suddenly, Xu Xun glanced at Luo Concubine in surprise, saw that she looked blank, did not look at herself, only looked at the food in the bowl, after being surprised, she also sighed in her heart, she said, "Yes, Luo Concubine, you have been canonized, is there anyone in the family who came in to congratulate?" ”

"Slave...... The concubine has been in the palace since she was a child, and her family has long been separated. Luo Concubine said softly, "I have long forgotten the appearance of my family, even if I want to send someone back to my hometown to look for it, I don't know where to start." ”

"Well, yes, speaking of which, there was that case a few years ago, and it was a ...... that made a lot of noise," Xu Xun said slowly.

Luo Concubine's eyebrows jumped, and her jaw was visibly tightened. "Yes, that incident a few years ago was so embarrassing. Since then, the concubine has also broken off the idea of looking for relatives again. ”

She got it.

The strange thing is that Xu Xun was not surprised at all, just a calm understanding: Luo Concubine already knew the truth of the Luo family's identity.

No matter how weak the affection is, after all, it is her blood relative, and her son was taken away, maybe it's nothing, after all, it's fate, but her family has also been exiled because of this, and in normal people's hearts, it is inevitable that they will be bitter and resentful, but I am afraid that it will not be much better.

"Yes, how embarrassing it is......" Xu Xun seemed to be whispering to himself, "For the sake of face, even if you are reluctant, you have to be exiled......"

Luo Concubine's shoulder shook suddenly, she put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, her eyes widened, and her eyes looked at Xu Xun fiercely.

At the same time, Xu Xun glanced at the people in the room: today is the official worship ceremony, and there are many people in the main hall, and not everyone she knows and trusts very well.

"Anyway, you have nothing to worry about." She could only believe in Concubine Luo's IQ, "After all, you have a special identity, as long as you are good at yourself, whether it is the emperor or the queen, they will not treat you lightly." ”

In Luo Concubine's eyes, there seemed to be a little new fire, and she took a deep breath -

Xu Xun urged before she could speak, "Eat it quickly, if this water chestnut soup is warmed, it won't be so refreshing." ”

Luo Concubine wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking about it, she finally didn't say a word, lowered her head again, and ate the soup in her bowl in silence.
