Chapter 188: Concubine Xiu
"When the mourning family was young, they didn't have such a flower-like face as Concubine Yun, but you did remind the mourning family of the past, although the mourning family did not have the appearance of the city at that time, but because of the Mongolia behind him, the emperor took a few more looks, at that time, it was still spring." The Queen Mother also has a little more affection for Hua Ying, in fact, sometimes such a person does not need to be deliberately pleased, as long as she feels that her intentions are sincere, and then her temperament meets her appetite, it is easy to open her chatterbox.
Hua Ying took a sip of warm tea, although it was in summer, but after drinking a sip of hot, she could also feel comfortable, not to mention that she was pregnant now, and she couldn't eat too much raw and cold food, and it was indeed suitable to stay here in the Queen Mother: "Appearance does not represent all of a woman, and concubines don't like people who judge people by their appearance, the Queen Mother is a beautiful and wise woman, and the emperor must have been deeply impressed by the Queen Mother at that time." ”
"Maybe," the Queen Mother's thoughts went back to a long time ago, she seemed to be really recalling what the emperor's impression of herself was, and then she shook her head: "I really don't remember this mourning family, but the mourning family only knows that the first emperor has never really loved the mourning family, and the position of pampering the mourning family and giving the mourning family the title of concubine is only because of the background of the mourning family, maybe also because the mourning family seems to be a woman who keeps to herself, and Concubine Yun is also a woman, you should know that whether a man loves himself or not, in fact, he knows it in his heart." ”
Blind pursuit will only blind people's minds and deceive themselves, just like Xuan promised.
"Queen Mother, since you said that all this is cause and effect, there is no need to force anything, the concubine now just wants the children to grow up safely, and she can fight for the Burhaqi family."
"You girl is sincere, and the mourning family also knows, and you are already much better than the mourning family, after all, the emperor treats you sincerely, and the mourning family has never seen the emperor treat a person so carefully, and the mourning family can guess what the matter of the two of you last time is why, but the mourning family also wants to say that the emperor can do this for you, it is already very good, maybe you don't think this is a grace, but for others, this is the supreme gift."
The Queen Mother paused for a moment and said: "The mourning family told you this, not to let you be grateful to the emperor, the mourning family hopes that you can be harmonious and beautiful, just to let you know that the emperor is good to you." ”
"The concubines have always known that the emperor treats the concubines very well, and the concubines also love the emperor in their hearts." Hua Ying may not like the emperor very much, but she also has six or seven points.
"I believe you can also see that the mourning family has never liked the queen so much, and you probably guess that the queen did something wrong, but the queen is also the queen after all, even if you are ambitious, don't rush to her." can say such things, it can be seen that the queen mother really wants Hua Ying to live a safe and smooth life in the harem, otherwise she would not tell her that she is a serious daughter-in-law: "It's not that the mourning family finds fault with her, it's really ......"
The Queen Mother seemed to be about to say something, but this was a ruo aunt who came to report, and she said at the door: "The slave maid has seen the Queen Mother, Concubine Yun, Concubine Xiu Niangniang brought the second princess and the sixth elder brother to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, does the Queen Mother want to see Concubine Xiu?"
"Today is lively, Concubine Xiu is also here, let her take the children to the side hall to wait, and the mourning family will go over with Concubine Yun in a while." The Queen Mother seems to have a good impression of Concubine Xiu, but Hua Ying thinks about what happened in the Jing Concubine Palace last time, and vaguely feels uncomfortable, but the Queen Mother is here, and she doesn't have the right to speak.
"If you're tired, go back and rest first." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she remembered that Hua Ying was still pregnant and had been with her for a long time, so she said empathetically.
Hua Ying really didn't want to face Concubine Xiu, but after thinking about it, the Queen Mother was still here, and Concubine Xiu naturally couldn't talk to her in that tone, otherwise the Queen Mother would be the first to be unhappy, after all, Hua Ying's scriptures these days were not in vain: "The concubine is not tired, so she will continue to accompany the Queen Mother to talk to Sister Xiufei for a while, but it's a pity that she didn't bring the fifth elder brother today, otherwise she could still play with her sister and brother for a while." ”
"Let's go together, then." The Queen Mother patted Hua Ying's hand, Hua Ying and the Queen Mother walked to the side hall together, in the eyes of outsiders, it was an extremely intimate look, Concubine Xiu didn't know that Hua Ying was also there, now looking at this posture, I couldn't help but wonder if Hua Ying wanted to give herself a dismount and show off her relationship with the Queen Mother?
"The concubine has seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is auspicious, and the concubine is safe." Concubine Xiu is much more humble than Concubine Jiang, even if Hua Ying only has one more title than her, she will give Hua Ying a salute by the way.
"Sister Xiufei, Ann." Hua Ying also reciprocated with a docile smile: "Sister is still so polite, we are in the same position, why be so formal?" Since you seem generous, then I naturally have to show virtue as well.
"You two are both people who make the mourning family comfortable, what about the second princess?" The palace maid behind Concubine Xiu was holding the sixth elder brother, who was not yet a year old and only a few months, so he was stuffing his fingers into his mouth, looking cute and cute, the queen mother signaled the palace maid to hold the sixth elder brother into her arms.
"Wen Ru, hurry up, your imperial grandmother is looking for you."
With the shouting of Concubine Xiu, the second princess jumped and ran over, it seems that she is also a lively child, since Concubine Xiu is no longer decadent and began to go up, the personality of the second princess has obviously changed a lot, perhaps it is that the second princess has never been found to be so strong and lively before: "The son of the minister sees the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother is auspicious, the flowers in the courtyard of the imperial grandmother are so beautiful, the son did not hold back and went over there to enjoy the flowers." ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it, you can come to Cining Palace at any time in the future to enjoy the flowers, even if you want to bring it back, just let someone cut a few flower branches." The Queen Mother obviously has a loving heart for these children, and she is also very fond of the second princess.
"Thank you Imperial Grandmother, Imperial Grandmother is the best." The second princess is much sweeter than the eldest princess, and she can obviously please the queen mother, and Concubine Xiu is also pleased, watching the two grandparents and grandchildren talk.
"Wen Ru is the best at pleasing the mourning family, or Concubine Xiu, you have a good upbringing, the eldest princess is raised under Concubine Ji, the mother and daughter are both not talkative, plus timid and afraid of things, the mourning family sometimes wants to change the temperament of the eldest princess, and they don't know how to start."
"Queen Mother, you don't have to worry about the nature of the eldest princess, everyone has a different personality, and ah, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the Queen Mother also has the blessing of children and grandchildren." Hua Ying can see that the mother and daughter are both masters who can talk tricks and coax the queen mother, and they are on par with themselves, no wonder the queen mother treats them well.
Concubine Xiu saw that Hua Ying didn't talk much, so she changed the topic: "Why didn't Concubine Yun bring the fifth elder brother to Cining Palace today?" It doesn't seem like I need to go to school today. ”
"Don't mention it, that kid has suddenly opened up recently, and he likes to read in the study room in Jingyang Palace all day long, and today's concubine is originally shopping everywhere, so she is not called the fifth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother is indeed not as lively as the second princess."
"It doesn't matter, each has its own benefits, from the perspective of the mourning family, the fifth elder brother is a calm and generous child at first glance, even if he was only a few months old when he came to Cining Palace before, even if he was not familiar with it, he never cried, and he opened his eyes to see when he came alone," Because Hua Ying often brought the fifth elder brother to Cining Palace before, so today, the fifth elder brother did not come, and the queen mother did not take it to heart: "But the mourning family looks at the sixth elder brother and seems to be somewhat similar to the fifth elder brother, and they are all held by others." ”
The sixth elder brother has grown for a few months, and his body has weighed a lot, and the queen mother felt that her arm was a little sore after hugging her for a while, so she handed the sixth elder brother into the hands of his nursing mother, but the sixth elder brother is indeed well-behaved and obedient, it seems that the cheap son of Concubine Xiu has really picked up the treasure: "The sixth elder brother is sensible, although it is only a few months, but he has never cried in the middle of the night, and the concubine also raised the sixth elder brother as his own son." ”
"The mourning family can also see that the sixth elder brother is very close to you, long and white and fat, at first glance, you have been carefully raised, the emperor has not many heirs, these fifth elder brothers and sixth elder brothers are good children, and the mourning family is very satisfied." At least in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Concubine Xiu is just a concubine from a humble background, and this concubine happens to have two children, and she seems to be sensible and polite, so she treats Concubine Xiu relatively closely, although she is not as sympathetic as Hua Ying, but she also successfully won the love of the Queen Mother.
Time flies, and soon it was time for the Queen Mother's lunch break, and the two of them and the children were inconvenient to disturb the Queen Mother's rest, so they asked Ann to retire in turn, and when she walked to the door, Concubine Xiu also put it away, and just now in Cining Palace, the kind mask said to Hua Ying: "I just heard that the Queen Mother took great care of her sister, and I thought it was just because of the Queen Mother's charity, it was the same for everyone, but now it seems that my sister is wrong, this Queen Mother, I do like my sister, it is really enviable." ”
"What is there to envy about this, but it is to treat the truth with sincerity, the Queen Mother loves the Buddha on weekdays, and the palace only occasionally comes to accompany the Queen Mother, how can there be such an exaggeration as Concubine Xiu?"
Since it was back to the palace, Hua Ying didn't plan to go back, but the two happened to go along for a while, and Concubine Xiu still followed him in a sedan chair and said: "Sister, maybe you will blame me for being different from before, but what I want to tell you is that the difference between you and me is worlds apart, let's not look down on anyone, you did help me once, I admit it." ”
