- Except that she couldn't see a little bit, Xu Xun liked her life in Nannei very much. -- She thinks that many people's minds are really idle.

I don't know if it's Ma Shi's kindness, or the queen mother's care, although no one is around to serve, but Xu Xun is not going to do some work of chopping wood and carrying water, every morning when the sky is bright, two old women will come in and fill the water tank for Xu Xun. Usually at this time, Xu Xun also got up. She went to the next hut to wash herself, and the two old women would pour out the toilet bowl and brush it for her, and pour the charcoal ash from the stove and fill it with new charcoal.

This is probably all they do, generally speaking, Xu Xun doesn't talk to them much - they are all old women who are dying, they have been a low-level palace maid in the palace all their lives, and they are still a handyman, what will such a person and Xu Xun say?

Although the dirty work and tiring work have basically been shared, at noon, they will come in to help Xu Xun take out the ashes of the stove, and the stove will be heated, what Xu Xun has to do in heating is to add firewood to seal the stove every night before going to bed, and the meal is also delivered, but this does not mean that she has nothing to do.

Every morning when it was dawning, the two old women came to carry the water, so Xu Xun got up and turned on the stove, boiled a pot of water that had been warm, and then carried it to the next room to wash. Although this room is not inhabited, because there is also a kang and the tunnels are connected, it is actually quite warm, and it was opened up into a small clean room by Xu Xun, and the bath bucket prepared for her by Ma Shi is placed here.

After washing up, you can make up some makeup, anyway, it is impossible to dress up in a fancy way for the cold palace to reflect on the sin, and after applying facial grease, comb your long hair into a nest of silk, or a big braid. However, Xu Xun's hair is long, it is up to the waist, and it takes a while to comb carefully every day, after breakfast, washing the dishes, and changing into thick cotton clothes, she usually goes out for a walk.

Although it is said that he has thought about it behind closed doors in Yichun Palace, it is not small to say that Yichun Palace is not small, at least there are several courtyards, isn't it? Xu Xun usually walks from the small house where she lives in the morning to the well used for taking water from Yichun Palace, walks around the well a few times and then walks back, and sometimes stays at the door of the main hall for a while to see the layout inside. Walking around like this, how can it be a quarter of an hour smaller, Xu Xun walks slowly, generally can walk for half an hour, the interest comes, and he will dance his fists and feet in the backyard, and practice the five poultry plays taught in the inner study hall to strengthen the body.

The morning is short, this time is already three poles of the day, come back to clean up the housekeeping, not long after, the old women came in to burn the stove, the stove burned, Xu Xun was busy. She was to take a bucket and fill the big iron pot on the stove with water, lest the fire would fry the pot or something.

It was almost filled with water back and forth, and it didn't take long for lunch to be delivered, and Xu Xun and the eunuch who delivered the meal usually did not speak, only occasionally passing on their needs. -- It's all more pragmatic needs, such as a steamer, a large basin for laundry, a clothesline, and so on. This kind of request is also met very quickly, Xu Xun now takes the meal and directly enlarges the stove to steam, and sometimes stands on the edge of the stove and eats it warmly.

After lunch, the kang was also hot. went up to take a nap, and when she came down, she started to work again, because it was cold in winter, and Xu Xun put the washing and washing work in the afternoon. And she is now more mobile and sweating more than before, but she feels that the need to take a bath is stronger than before. She has to take a bath every five days or so, and of course she has to be busy all afternoon, starting from boiling water, pouring water after taking a bath, and sweeping the ground or something. Basically, there is something to do every afternoon, either in the shower, or in the laundry, anyway, the fire on the stove is not extinguished, and the hot water needs to be boiled.

After being busy in the evening, after eating and reading a book on the kang for a while, he may not have time to be sentimental, because he has to get up early the next day, and there is a lot of light physical labor every day, and Xu Xun will be sleepy after reading a book for a quarter of an hour. It's been many days since she entered Nannei in the blink of an eye, and she hasn't finished reading a few pages of a thick Dongpo anthology.

I don't even have the heart to read the book, so what else is there to think about? Xu Xun's heart in such a trivial and repetitive labor, but feel particularly comfortable and calm, except for sometimes thinking about her daughter occasionally, she feels that her life is actually happier and simpler than the previous ten years, in this Yichun Palace, although she has no one to communicate with, and there is no one around to serve, everything has to be done by herself, but she has never felt lonely at all, and the sky that can be seen in this square inch seems to be more vast and pure than the scene in the palace. Her desires degenerated into the simplest things to eat and rest, and other than that, she had no thoughts, and few distractions haunted her mind.

For example, when to go out, Xu Xun has never thought about it. Confused and vague, she knew that there must be many people in the palace who were working hard to rescue her from Nannei, including the Queen Mother, and maybe the Empress, He Xianxian and Liu Zhien, she knew that she stayed in Nannei, which could be said to have hurt the interests of many people...... But Xu Xun doesn't want to think about anything now, she feels that only what her fingers can touch is the most real.

The frost at the wellhead that thickens every day, the grass and trees in the courtyard that unconsciously accumulate thick snow, the lonely hung that occasionally crosses the sky, the steaming pot, the sparks jumping in the big stove, and the firewood stacked in the corner of the house...... Xu Xun sometimes thinks that even if she can go out and reset, maybe she will continue to maintain these living habits. She felt that her life like this was much happier than in Yong'an Palace.

The most haode evidence is that Xu Xun's body is getting better and better, although he did not say a rapid change, but some small problems with headache and brain fever in the past were cured without medicine, after coming to Nannei, he ate and slept well every day, his face was ruddy, and the lines of his body felt more slender, compared to the delicate and well-maintained before, now he has a little more muscle - carrying water and washing are not a light job, but the lines are more slender and energetic, and even the hair loss that has slowly become a problem has become a problem. After coming to Minami, I also got a significant improvement. Not to mention her menstrual affairs - since the first miscarriage, Xu Xun's menstrual affairs have been very unstable, although they are not as painful as Sun Yunu when they come, but they will also have some abdominal pain and soreness. After arriving in Nannei, this menstrual affair is called a healthy, and the symptoms of the whole menstrual cramps have improved many times compared to before.

It would be nice if he could live like this in Nannei all the time, Xu Xun sometimes thinks that this time usually happens at noon, just after lunch, with a full stomach, lying on the hot kang, looking at the high Chengchen, Xu Xun will be half joking and half serious in reverie: a little accompanied by him, there are three or two people who can talk to each other to meet her needs for communication, and she has been living in Nannei until she dies of old age.

She felt that it was a very happy thing to die like this, but it was a pity that even in her reverie, a little education and marriage, and even who the few people who accompanied her should be, were still unsolvable problems. Xu Xun understands that she can't live in Nannei forever after all, just like a person can't be separated from Hongchen forever, but this does not prevent her from cherishing every simple day in Yichun Palace. She felt that this period of time, no matter what, could not be too long.

As to when this variable will come, she sometimes thinks casually, and thinks that maybe it should be in the spring—the plan of the year lies in the spring, and spring is a season full of uncertainties.

The year in the palace has indeed been very deserted.

Concubine Xu Zhuang's absence, according to common sense, can only affect the atmosphere of the main hall of Yong'an Palace, and even the three concubines living in the apse should not be affected, but there are very few things in this world that can be carried out according to common sense. Not to mention anything else, I don't even have an idea who should be in charge of this year's year.

Sun Guifei can't take care of it, she is in 'confinement', and the queen will definitely not care about it - she has been sick for more than a year, and since Concubine Zhuang entered Nannei, although she has ignored Concubine Zhuang, she is obviously not in a good mood, and she has not mentioned the regulations for this year's New Year. As for Concubine He Hui, she has never been in charge of things, so she can't ask her.

Qingning Palace is not in a hurry, but among the 24 yamen, there are many Qingshui yamen who point to the New Year's reward money to cut new clothes, and these pressures are layered up, and they all fall on the big eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace - since they are big eunuchs, they have face in Su Ri, and they should come out to speak for their peers at this time.

Wang Jin is the emperor's great companion, and he has always been the most dignified, but this time he also made a difficulty, shirked it a few times, and saw that he was about to enter Laba - the emperor's eldest son's full moon ceremony was close at hand. There was no statute for how to boil Laba porridge and how to reward it, so he had no choice but to have the courage to mention it to the emperor. "The old lady is not in good spirits, and she has not spoken to the palace affairs for a while......"

How could the emperor ever be in charge of such a trivial matter? Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but I didn't want to blame the big companion, so I thought about it and said absent-mindedly, "Then let the companion deal with it-"

Since Concubine Zhuang went to Nannei, the emperor has not moved to Qingning Palace, and this thought is already very obvious. Wang Jin wanted to speak and stopped, but finally agreed.

With the emperor's statement, how could the Qingning Palace say one more word? As a result, the emperor's eldest son's full moon banquet was extremely lively in the outer court, but the inner palace was deserted, and there was no sign of celebration.

It's hard to say who to blame, in Wang Jin, it's already good to be able to ask about Laba, and then ask about the full moon banquet - he doesn't want to die so early, but in Qingning Palace, now you want me to host the full moon banquet? It's too much of a deception. Although the celebration of the previous dynasty was to celebrate the full moon of the emperor's eldest son, he himself did not have to go there. As a result, when the emperor remembered it, it turned out that a group of unrelated outsiders were feasting and drinking to celebrate the full moon of his eldest son, while the harem was quiet, as if the day had no special meaning at all.

To say that he is not a fire is a bit too high, but the reason why this is so is also because in recent days, the emperor has deliberately kept himself busy - either busy with political affairs, or busy fighting crickets and playing polo...... Anyway, he just doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the inner palace, can anyone force him not to take care of it? During these days, except for occasionally summoning people to sleep, he didn't enter the inner palace at all.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, at the banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is said that the family will gather together to serve the Queen Mother for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. This year, if things don't come to a conclusion, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will not be willing to come forward.

Thanks to Xu Xun's blessing, the Queen Mother doesn't come out, most of the people in the palace know that it is weishenme, if Sun Guifei is still good to celebrate the New Year with him, she must not be poked in the back? The emperor knew her, and she would certainly not be stupid enough to do such a thing. As for the queen, there is a ten percent chance that she will not be sick, and it is still a matter of two things to say that Concubine He Hui can't come out, and if the emperor doesn't make trouble, he will have to celebrate the New Year with a group of concubines...... It's easy to get a son, it's a time of festivities, but family life is like this, and it seems that it can't be said anymore.

Besides, the emperor really hasn't seen his precious son for several days......

"Let's go, go to Changning Palace." He still made a decision.

#

This day is also the time when Sun Guifei is out of confinement, although no one organizes a celebration, but she is still dressed quite decently, holding a new costume, the fat eldest son of the emperor, set up a small banquet, when the emperor came into the house, she and the eldest son of the emperor were eating, seeing the emperor come in, wiped his mouth and quickly got up to say goodbye, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Get up." The emperor didn't look at the two women, only his own son was in his eyes, he stepped forward and picked up the emperor's eldest son, kissed him twice, took a closer look, and then smiled at everyone, "Strange Dao said, this child is the same every day, I haven't seen it for a few days, and I feel like it's a big circle." ”

As he spoke, he casually glanced at the seats next to the table, and saw that Luo was sitting under Sun, and couldn't help nodding secretly. "Are you giving your eldest brother a full moon?"

"Isn't there a lot of noise for him outside, let's join in the fun." Sun Yunu was smiling, and she couldn't see anything unusual at all, but she hadn't seen her for a long time, and her attitude towards the emperor was more affectionate and attentive than usual. "You can drink alcohol just after the confinement period, so let's eat and drink together, and I congratulate the eldest brother on the full moon."

Seeing that the emperor also had the intention of sitting down, Sun Yunu naturally gave up the first seat, and Luo didn't dare to sit down, intending to stand and serve. Sun Yunu pulled her and smiled, "What are you doing so politely-sit, you stand, the child is not fragrant when he feeds." ”

The emperor looked at Luo, and at this time he was a little more pleasing to the eye, and he even had a thought in his heart: Luo's favor was only one or two times, and he actually got pregnant smoothly and got a man in one fell swoop......

"Sit down." He also nodded and said with a smile.

The emperor has spoken, what else can Luo Shi say? He sat down with his hands firmly in his hands, stared at the cup in front of him, and didn't dare to say a word, but profoundly expressed his sincere fear.

The emperor and Sun Yunu didn't care: Luo's personality is cowardly and honest, and he is silent, if he suddenly changed because he gave birth to a son, it would be strange. Sun Yunu first toasted the emperor with a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Big brother, our child is healthy and strong, and he will be able to live a long life and have many children and grandchildren, don't you say!" ”

Who doesn't like to listen to auspicious words? Sun Guifei's words are to the bottom of the emperor's heart, and the two are also reunited, which is a bit better than the newlywed. After eating a few glasses of wine, it happened that the eldest son of the emperor was about to feed, so he retreated, and the two sat together and talked privately.

After the abolition of the re-establishment of the matter, it was done like this, the emperor originally felt that he was enough to fight for Sun Guifei, but when he saw her, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, maybe it was because of this stubble that he didn't enter Changning Palace in the past few days. Don't look at the usual handling of state affairs, it can also be said that it is decisive to lift weights and kill decisively, but in front of Sun Guifei, he was a little hesitant, hesitated for a while, and then said, "The last time I entered Qingning Palace, I talked to my mother, and I have promised my mother, and the child's jade is written with Luo's name and given Luo's concubine." - But I'm still going to keep the child in front of you...... In this way, after all, the name can be justified in the future. ”

This news can't be said not to be shocking, Sun Guifei's smile also froze at the corner of her lips, and many emotions flashed quickly on her face, so complicated that the emperor couldn't hide it. After a moment, Fang straightened up and said, "This ...... Didn't you say haode, if it's a brother, then ......"

It is indeed said that the emperor is tantamount to losing his trust in her, he is really a little embarrassed, but thinking about the analysis of the queen mother, he still did not give in, "My brother's biological mother is still there, and I remember your name, and it is inevitable that someone will sow discord in the future, but it seems that you have something to hide from him." What if you really remember your biological mother's name? How to write jade, can it still be transmitted to the outside? In the future, it is justified to set you up as the successor, and the outside world thinks that this is your biological son, even if your brother is older in the future, there are jade and Luo, you will not be at a loss...... Besides, who in this palace will stir up trouble and talk nonsense? ”

Very typical man's thinking, as long as there seems to be no difference in the results, then it's okay, if Sun Guifei wants to reason with him at this time, the only way to analyze the queen mother is to make waves with him and tell the prince about the possibility of his life experience. But that's another taboo - to say fucking bad things about a man is a very unfilial sign.

She stalked for a long time, then smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a little stingy, in fact, there is a precedent for Empress Mingde." Even if Jade writes Luo, as long as I treat the child well, the child will still kiss me - this child will be mine and Luo's. That's fine--it's right--it's right, no matter how you say it, you can't treat Roche as a hero. ”

Although there was a hint of reluctance in the words, it was clear that it was sincere. The emperor couldn't help but be moved: although the Sun family also has a small temper and small calculations, he is knowledgeable and understanding. The matter of jade should have hit her a lot, and it was difficult for her to recognize the truth at once and adjust her mentality.

"That's what it means." He nodded and said, "People's hearts are made of meat, and children are raised by you, so they are naturally close to you." As for Roche, it is good to be born and raised. Since this is the case, everything will be decided according to the old agreement, and the prince will be appointed after the beginning of spring, and then talk about other things. ”

The so-called other things are naturally abolished and then established. Sun Guifei thought for a moment, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

"I'm afraid that the Queen Mother may not allow this." She showed a little sadness, but still said, "I'm worried about this matter, and the old man thinks about me in his heart...... Big brother, don't talk about that matter yet-you have to tell me about the jade earlier, I'm afraid that I would have gone out to Qingning Palace to ask the old man for guilt. didn't do this kind of thing, but made the old man unhappy, before the old man nodded, let's not mention this matter first. ”

"You mean—" The Emperor hadn't turned a corner for a moment.

"Why is my eldest brother so stupid," Sun Guifei half-jokingly pushed the emperor's forehead before laughing, "In the eyes of the old man, it seems that this birth, abolition, and re-establishment are all arranged by me." Do you say that she can have no opinion in her heart, with such a heart, I am afraid that I will be uncomfortable with it for a long time. I just said, at that time, the old man wanted to take his brother to Qingning Palace, I really thought that the child had just been born and couldn't blow the wind, so I replied to the old man's house, but I didn't expect to offend her, and there was no news at all for a while...... This misunderstanding can't be explained, can the old man get by? ”

It's also true, the connection between these things, no one knows better than the emperor, before the child landed, he really didn't have the mind to abolish the post, but this is not to say that the idea of the abolition was instilled in him by Sun Guifei. The logic of the whole thing is also very simple - he does not want Hu to raise the child, let alone let her make trouble about the child's biological mother......

As for the establishment of Sun Guifei after the abolition, it is natural for him to see it, not to mention his own wishes, the child is adopted, and he is the only male, if he does not set up Sun Guifei, how can the future queen not seek to seize the prince? Besides, emotionally, the emperor can't accept someone else to be the empress - not to mention the civil and military officials, I'm afraid it is difficult to accept that the prince's 'mother' can't be in the middle palace when the rear position is empty. Since it has been decided to abolish the queen, it is impossible for the government and the opposition or the emperor himself to take a crooked step in the next step.

But from the Queen Mother's point of view, the whole thing is like Sun Guifei bewitching the emperor, and it would be strange if she didn't rebound.

The emperor is a little bit of an expert in foreign affairs, an outsider in internal affairs, and was a little bit by Sun Guifei, who was originally confused and understood, but now he understands his mother's mood and also understands the mood of the concubine: the concubine doesn't even know that the queen mother has opinions on her, and of course she won't go out of her way to please the queen mother...... said that she deliberately disrespected the Queen Mother, which is probably nothing.

Otherwise, for the sake of the elderly, have you delayed all the things that will be done after the establishment? Although it is said that if she does not stand after the establishment of the queen, she will not be able to delay the establishment of the crown prince, but the concubine does not know, her statement, the emperor is also comfortable after listening to it, isn't it?

"It's just ......" Although he said that he didn't understand the reason so much, the emperor was very clear about the character of the Queen Mother, and some things couldn't be explained at all, even if they could explain clearly, the Queen Mother wouldn't believe it now.

And if he can't stand up immediately, as soon as the news from the Zongren Mansion spreads, Sun Guifei's status will be embarrassing. The rumors between the government and the opposition, under the manipulation of well-intentioned people, may be able to sweep the indecisive court in an instant, and completely ruin Sun Guifei's reputation. ――How much of a grievance is it that he laughs and scolds people, but he doesn't even have a reputation? Hasn't Sun Guifei suffered enough grievances in her life?

"That's it, or don't mention it yet...... Don't remember the jade thing yet? He muttered to himself, seeing that he had changed his mind. After the establishment is completed, then write down the jade? ”

Sun Guifei said, "This ...... Didn't you say yes to your mother? Otherwise, when I plead guilty to my mother tomorrow, the three of us will sit down and discuss it again. ”

She stood up, walked behind the emperor, and massaged his shoulder, "It's all a family, what's the hurdle that can't be overcome?" Even if there is a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be okay to explain it clearly? I also want to say that you, your temperament is just anxious, Sister Xu is such an honest person, how can she offend you and offend you, and send people to Nannei...... According to me, before Chinese New Year's Eve, hurry up and pick it up, otherwise, there will be one less person at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and I will feel empty in my heart. ”

Sun Guifei's massage jishu is definitely not as good as a great eunuch like Ma Shi, but the emperor is useful, and this is also heartwarming to listen to - in comparison, Xu Xun's ** sentence 'I am like this, I can't change it if I kill me', it is even more hateful. Even just thinking about this sentence, he felt a burst of unhappiness that pierced his heart, as if someone was poking his heart with the tip of a knife. Not only was it cold, but it also made the emperor feel an unspeakable pain.

He pursed his lips and suppressed the churning discomfort, his tone was still very hard, "Don't intercede for her, just let her stay in Nannei for a few more days and reflect on it!" Who is the one who really hodds her haode, she hasn't figured it out yet! When she understands, let her out! ”

This seems to have revealed something, but it still didn't make it clear that Xu Xun was in the south of Weishenme. Sun Guifei glanced at the emperor curiously, and didn't say much, only discussed with him. "Tomorrow, I'll go to Qingning Palace to ask for peace, and invite the old man to come and see my eldest brother, what do you think?"

The emperor also restrained his thoughts, and with Sun Guifei, he said a word to me, and planned a strategy to dissolve misunderstandings......
