Therefore, she also understood that Emperor Su Fang was afraid that there was no room for turning back in his life.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

The current situation of Emperor Su Fang also applies to this statement. Earlier, when Emperor Su Fang was still the Duan Prince, in addition to the Duan Princess, there was only one side concubine and one or two people in the Duan Palace. He never valued women, and rarely rested overnight in those rooms. When Emperor Qinglong died and he ascended to the throne, the number of people in the harem was always only a few.

Things probably began to fall apart from the time of Concubine Shu. Like a towering iceberg covered with snow, because of a spring breeze, the ice and snow melted, flowed down the ridge, and converged into a long stream, taking away the reason and solemnity that should not have been abandoned.

Now in the palace, all the palace maids who have some appearances, whether they should be favored or not, as long as Emperor Su Fang looks at them, no one can stop them. came and went, the group of women in the palace couldn't bear the loneliness of the deep palace, and they couldn't resist the enticing taste of the rich and powerful hanging above their heads, and only one, two, and three followed one after another, and began to desperately want to climb up.

People often say that once a success is ten thousand bones dry, under the high seat of the emperor, the layers of terraces are paved with white bones, but who knows, the seat in the forbidden courtyard of the deep palace is also stepping on the corpses and blood of his companions step by step.

Everyone thought they could break out of the world in this turbulent time.

The imperial concubines are much older, and what they see and hear is not comparable to this group of fledgling girls. They thought about the two seals in her hand, but neither of them could be another her.

People's luck. Sometimes it's predestined.

The young and beautiful Hunan nobles thought that they could occupy a place in this deep palace, but they didn't wait for the arrogance to pass. knew that under the strict hierarchy, there was only one her, and the imperial concubine wanted her life, but it was just like crushing an ant.

The emperor's favor is just a mayfly, and it cannot be permanently held in the palm of his hand.

Born in the side branch of the Wen family, Hunan nobles. After all, it can only be a flash in the pan.

The imperial concubine left the main hall, returned to the dormitory, and tilted the beauty couch. The tense body slackened.

She let out a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and took a short nap, then pulled back the people who were waiting beside her, leaving only a henchman to serve. Twilight is approaching. She lit the lamp.

The Giethoorn lamp emits a warm glow. The room was quietly lit up in the slowly darkened room.

The imperial concubine spread out the letter again under the lamp, and asked someone to serve the pen and ink while reading it, preparing to reply to the Song family.

She had just picked up a pen and written a sentence, and someone outside came to report that Her Royal Highness the princess had asked to see her. The imperial concubine was slightly stunned when she held the pen, and asked people to announce that Ji Tongying came in.

Ji Tongying outside the door was full of worry at the moment, looking down at her toes, looking in a trance.

The palace people called her three times in a row. She came back to her senses in a daze and bowed her head slightly. Raise your feet and take a step towards the inside.

The imperial concubine temporarily put away the pen in her hand and asked her, "Why did this come here, but what happened?" ”

Seeing that it was getting late, and it was almost time for dinner, it was not enough to come to her to eat. The imperial concubine looked around, and sent the few remaining people in the room out in one go, and the several palace maids who were accompanying Ji Tongying also stayed outside. Suddenly only the mother and daughter were left in the room.

Ji Tongying looked at her mother and smiled, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just miss my mother, so I came to see you." ”

"Really?" The imperial concubine looked at the look on her face.

Ji Tongying nodded: "Seriously." ”

The imperial concubine sighed and said, "When you lie, you can't help but look at the ground out of the corner of your eye, where can you hide it from me." That's it, if you don't talk about the concubine, you won't force you. As she spoke, she picked up the pen on the pen stand and bowed her head to write a letter.

"But there's a letter from Aman?" Seeing this, Ji Tongying couldn't help but ask.

In the whole world, there are only a handful of people who can ask the imperial concubine to reply to the letter in person, and Ji Tongying guessed it.

The imperial concubine picked out the letter and looked at it, and said with a chuckle: "It's Aman's family matter, your Aunt Song is very nervous, and specially wrote a letter to ask me what I mean." ”

When Ji Tongying heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then immediately lowered her head and looked at the letter carefully. The Song family's anxiety gradually revealed between the lines, Ji Tongying looked at it carefully, and found that the person mentioned in the letter was Yan Huai, the prince of Chengguo, couldn't help but be taken aback, looked up at the imperial concubine, and exclaimed: "If the son is not mistaken, Ah Man has been engaged to the second son of the Yan family in the past?" ”

That was many years ago, but it was true.

The imperial concubine nodded.

Ji Tongying frowned and said, "What does Aman mean?" ”

"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, how can I immediately inform Ah Man." The imperial concubine looked at her with a smile and took the letter back, "It's early, you must not reveal it to Aman." ”

Ji Tongying said: "Aman has always had a good idea, if she doesn't like it, even if everyone thinks it's good, it's useless." According to Erchen, I still have to ask her what she means first. ”

The imperial concubine kept moving, writing a letter and saying to her: "If it's really inappropriate, you don't have to ask." ”

Ji Tongying stood beside her, and her eyes suddenly changed when she heard the words.

After a while, she smiled and asked the imperial concubine: "Then according to you, how is this family business?" ”

"Hereditary titles, prominent and eye-catching." The imperial concubine blurted out, "The successive princes of Chengguo have won the emperor's blue eyes, and for many years, the families and nobles in Kyoto have had ups and downs, and only the Yan, Wan, and Liang families have stood tall, which can be seen." Western Vietnam opened the dynasty with military force, even if the wind and rain are smooth now, the country and the people are safe, but the status of civil officials is not as good as that of military generals. In the heyday of the country's prosperity and people's strength, it is still the same, which is extremely rare. The families I just mentioned are all military generals. The ancestors regarded martial arts as the foundation of Western Vietnam, so no one could shake it. As long as the Yan family doesn't make big mistakes, this glory will only last for a long time. ”

"If that's the case, is Aman's identity lower in comparison?" Ji Tongying asked in a low voice.

How important it is to be a householder, although it is said that marrying a woman should be high. But it was also because of the mutual benefit and mutual assistance of the two families that they considered combining. If it's just a peasant girl, let her look like a fairy. But if you want to be a concubine with the noble family, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

Xie Shuning's current identity is the most suitable, and it should be an ordinary official eunuch.

But there is the matter of the Song family and Xie Yuanmao's reconciliation in front of them, and others will not care about the entanglements involved, nor will they take the harmony and separation seriously, they will only regard Xie Shuning as the eldest daughter of the wife, and her reputation will be damaged.

This is also what Song is worried about. It is extremely difficult to find a family that understands things.

The imperial concubine knew what she was worried about, and listened to her daughter's question. said: "It is precisely because of this that this family business of the Yan family seems suitable again." Who is in charge of the Yan family now? Who is in charge of Cheng Guogong's family affairs? It's all him! In addition, the Yan family has a simple population, and there are only a few distant relatives who can be ignored, so there are problems with mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Don't worry about it in the future. ”

In her opinion. This family affair is worth worrying about, and only the gossip that will appear in the market.

But the life is lived by oneself, and the gossip is said by the person with a broken mouth to listen to himself, and sooner or later he will get tired of talking, and no one will pay attention to it.

The imperial concubine thinks this family affair is good.

Yan Huai's character, appearance and identity are by no means bad with Xie Shuning.

Even, from the perspective of the door alone, it can be regarded as Xie Shuning's high climbing.

This. Even if the imperial concubine took Xie Shuning as her daughter, she had to admit it.

She finished writing the letter. stopped writing, looked sideways at Ji Tongying, and said: "You are like sisters with Aman, you should also know that she is smart and well-behaved, if she only marries an ordinary eunuch or a merchant, it is really a pity." ”

Ji Tongying nodded hurriedly in agreement, no matter what, she couldn't imagine that Xie Shuning would marry into a merchant family one day.

The imperial concubine waited for the ink on the letter to dry a little, and folded the letter.

After the letter was enveloped, she suddenly looked at Ji Tongying a few times, and said in a slight tone: "You are two years older than Aman......

Ji Tongying is now seventeen years old.

The imperial concubine frowned and said, "The one who went to the golden autumn of the year entered the list of the Hanlin Academy, how about it?" ”

"How?" Ji Tongying was stunned.

The imperial concubine said angrily: "Naturally, I asked you if you liked it." ”

Ji Tongying was startled and quickly shook her head.

The imperial concubine saw a little wrong from her expression, her eyebrows sank, and she said, "What are you hiding from me?" ”

“…… Mother," a trace of annoyance flashed in Ji Tongying's eyes, bit her lip, and said softly, "Erchen already has a candidate for a horse in his heart." ”

The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows and eyes stretched, and she asked happily, "Which family's son is it?" ”

Ji Tongying hesitated and remained silent for a long time.

The smile on the imperial concubine's face gradually froze, and she said, "Should it be...... Is it Cheng Guogong? "Regardless of whether he should come to Lord Shang as Yan Huai for the time being, he can, if it is really him, it will be embarrassing. While thinking about it, she heard Ji Tongying exclaim, "Mother! ”

"Where do you think of it, how can it be him!" Ji Tongying was taken aback by her words.

The girl's crisp voice pierced the silent twilight, startling the two unknown birds perched under the eaves.

The imperial concubine sighed softly in the light, "Who is it?" ”

In early spring and February, when the morning rises and the evening closes, the coolness rises.

Ji Tongying played with a piece of paperweight in her hand, and replied in a trance: "It's Aman's cousin." ”

She secretly read the name in her heart - "Shu Yan".

She knew that this matter was inappropriate, so she blocked it again and again, and did not agree with his marriage proposal.

My father would never agree.

As for the concubine......

The imperial concubine asked in surprise: "Ah Man only has one uncle, I heard that he is far away from the customs and is married to a foreign woman, and the cousin you are talking about is his son?" (To be continued......)
