Chapter 203 Entrustment
With Shen Jiajue's guidance, Shen Jiachen wrote a reply to Lu Jiuzhi overnight, and as for the content of the letter, he naturally explained the matter clearly in a good voice, and then solemnly apologized to Lu Jiuzhi.
The letterhead was sent to the Lu Mansion early in the morning of the second day, and Lu Jiuzhi was eating breakfast while looking at Shen Jiachen's letter, and said with a smile to the red sleeves next to him: "The princess's method is really useful, it is worthy of being a brother and sister, in the end, I understand him." ”
After breakfast, Lu Jiuzhi took the letterhead and went to Shen Jiahe to ask her for advice: "Do you think I still have to write a reply to him?" How do you think it's appropriate? ”
Shen Jiahe said with a smile: "Where else to write a reply, you two are turning the page, and the rest will be the same as before, you can get along with each other, as for this letter, you have to keep it well, and if this kind of thing happens in the future, you can take it out and show him." ”
The two chatted casually, and Lu Jiuzhi looked around and asked in a low voice, "Isn't the prince in the mansion?" When are you going to enter the palace? ”
Shen Jiahe replied with a smile: "The prince is now going to deal with affairs in the palace in the early dynasty, but he is busier than before, the original palace prince is not ready to move in, and the Ministry of Industry will repair another palace to come out, and I am afraid it will take a while for us to move in." ”
Lord Yang, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has already informed Pei Yuan that the enthronement ceremony is basically ready: "When Qin Tianjian chooses a date, the enthronement ceremony can be held immediately." ”
Pei Yuan nodded and ordered: "After the end of the early dynasty, Lord Xu, the squire of the Ministry of Works, stayed, and this king has something to tell you." ”
After returning to the imperial study, Pei Yuan handed over a stack of drawings to Lord Xu and instructed: "The palace where this king and the princess will live in the future should be re-selected in the palace, and as for the layout and repair inside, you refer to these drawings." ”
These are all based on Shen Jiahe's preferences, Pei Yuan also sorted out after a period of time, after Lord Xu turned a few pages, he arched his hand and asked: "It stands to reason that the emperor's and the queen's bedrooms are to be separated, if the princess does not plan to stay in Qiwu Palace, then she has to choose another place to come out, and all the construction will start in two times, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the prince's enthronement ceremony." ”
"No need," Pei Yuan said in an unquestionable tone, "The bedroom of this king and the princess only needs to be set up in one place, and you can do it according to the needs of this king, and other things will naturally be handled by this king." ”
This was not something that the Ministry of Industry should worry about, and Master Li only mentioned it, and seeing that Pei Yuan didn't mean that, he hurriedly responded and said goodbye and went back.
Pei Yuan asked the new chief manager before reviewing the fold: "How is Concubine Rong's child?" ”
"The old slave only went to ask in person this morning, and said that the wound had scabbed, and the imperial doctor also said that there was no major problem." The Grand Steward bowed and replied.
Concubine Rong was instructing the palace people to pack up her things at this time, the child was already in good health, she naturally had no reason to stay, the palace maid packed up the little prince's things and asked, "Don't you bring any of these?" ”
Concubine Rong shook her head, her fingers caressed the cheeks of the little prince, where there were still scabbed marks, it would take a while to get better: "I don't need it, I don't have to bring it." ”
After speaking, he put the child back in the hands of the nurse, turned around and instructed the personal palace maid: "Change the clothes of the palace, and the palace will go to meet the prince Xian." ”
Knowing that Concubine Rong came to see him, Pei Yuan only thought that she was here to thank himself and the princess, so he instructed Yuanyang: "You go and tell Concubine Rong that you don't have to come to thank you and go to the palace in the future, and taking care of the children is the right thing." ”
Yuan Yang shook his head and said, "My subordinates also told Niangniang about it, but Niangniang seems to have something else to say when she sees you." ”
Pei Yuan had no choice but to announce that Concubine Rong would come to see her, Concubine Rong knelt and made a big salute, raised her head and asked: "The concubine is this child, and the concubine wants to be handed over to the prince to raise." ”
Pei Yuan was puzzled: "Why is this? The child is so young, naturally he should grow up next to his biological mother, although this king is his imperial uncle, but in the end it is not as important as his mother. ”
Concubine Rong glanced at the child in the nurse's hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine knows that the concubine also wants to take the child with her to raise her, but when the former queen was in the palace, she made it difficult for the concubine in every way, and when she went to the palace, she was afraid that she would take revenge on the head of the concubine who had all her resentment, and it was not safe for the child to be placed next to the concubine." ”
"This king can intervene in this matter, this king will send his cronies to send you over in person, and by the way, threaten the queen again, what do you think?" Pei Yuan asked, "Separated from the young children, I hope you can be cautious about this matter." ”
"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and I think the prince knows this truth better than the concubine." Concubine Rong smiled bitterly, "If those methods in the palace are really used, they will not be able to find even a little clue, and the concubine does not want the child to be in such a dangerous environment, this matter is also a decision made by the concubine after thinking about it for a long time, is it not a whim, and I hope that the prince can be fulfilled." ”
Pei Yuan looked at Concubine Rong, at this moment it seemed to see his mother, on the eve of her dying, she had told him in every possible way that he must not care about the past, he must not find out the truth, and the purpose is also to keep him from being in a dangerous environment.
"This king promises you that this child will grow up safely!"
"The concubine has thanked the prince!"
Pei Yuan carefully took the child from the nurse's hand, he couldn't speak, he only babbled and uttered syllables of unknown meaning, his eyes looked at Pei Yuan curiously, and occasionally pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed, so that the person holding him couldn't help but smile.
In the evening, Yuan Yang came over and asked, "Is the child going to be taken out, or is it going to be put in the palace?" ”
"I promised Concubine Rong to raise it personally, take it to the palace, and let his nurse follow her." Pei Yuan commanded.
The nurse followed behind Pei Yuan with the little prince, and the palace maid who followed behind took the little prince's food and clothing, and before getting into the carriage, Pei Yuan took the child over and held it in his arms, and Yuanyang immediately took the nurse to a carriage behind.
The child had just woken up, and it was the first time he had gone out of the palace to take a carriage, and he felt very novel about everything around him, and from time to time he reached out to grab something to play, Pei Yuan stretched out a finger and put it in his palm, and he immediately grabbed it.
Thinking of the one in Shen Jiahe's belly, Pei Yuan's eyebrows and eyes became more and more gentle, and when the child was born, it would be as cute as the one in his arms.
Shen Jiahe saw the little baby in Pei Yuan's arms, looked behind Pei Yuan again, and said in surprise: "Concubine Rong didn't follow?" ”
Pei Yuanrong Guifei entrusted this child and said simply: "She insists on doing this, I will fulfill her, tomorrow Rong Guifei will set off, do you want to go and see." ”
"Naturally, I'm going to deliver it." Shen Jiahe glanced at the child and felt a little uncomfortable, "This child is different from Pei Niting, she let your two uncles raise her when her mother was gone, but he obviously has his biological mother still alive, but he can't be together, isn't it sad." ”
After Pei Yuan teased the child for a while, he handed him over to the nurse to take him down, and then replied: "That's what I said, otherwise you will persuade Concubine Rong tomorrow, the child has already been taken over, so you can simply stay in the house for one night." ”
For dinner, Shen Jiahe specially instructed the kitchen to make egg custard and stuffed tofu for the child, and for Shen Jiahe, who was about to become a mother, she had the idea of feeding her herself, but no matter how she coaxed her, the child refused to eat a little, and finally cried.
Shen Jiahe was pregnant, and she was afraid that the child would touch her belly if she tossed around, so she had to hand over the child to Pei Yuan again, which was strange to say, as soon as she arrived in Pei Yuan's arms, the child quieted down.
Pei Yuan hugged him in his arms and patted it gently, coaxed for a while before handing it over to the nurse to take away, Shen Jiahe quipped: "It turns out that the prince is so good at taking care of children, and when our children are born in the future, I don't have to worry about it." ”
The next morning, Shen Jiahe went to the palace to see Concubine Rong, and persuaded her by the way: "I discussed with the prince last night, if you want, you don't have to go to the palace to live with them, if you don't want to live in the palace, we can also arrange you outside the palace." ”
Seeing that Concubine Rong didn't speak, Shen Jiahe persuaded again: "I also feel sorry for the child, I have to leave my mother at such a young age, and the mother herself is reluctant to have a child." ”
Concubine Rong refused with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the princess and the prince, the concubine has received the body and mind, the child stays with you, the concubine can rest assured, and the concubine can accompany the emperor without worry." ”
She stood at the gate of the palace, looking up at the four corners of the sky outside the palace, and finally she was about to go out from here, turning her head Rong Guifei looked at Shen Jiahe and smiled: "Does the princess know?" I entered the palace voluntarily, although I knew that there were countless women in this palace, and he also had his own wife, even if I was a concubine, I could only be regarded as a concubine, but I still entered the palace, I really loved the emperor. ”
"Now that his identity is gone, many concubines have left, the relationship between the former queen and him is so stiff, the concubine wants to accompany him, the days in the palace are so hard, and the concubine is with the emperor, life will always be better." Concubine Rong's smile was clear, but she didn't have the slightest feeling of suffering.
Shen Jiahe looked at her, only feeling that his heart was very sour, and he felt that even if the emperor was in the ground now, he should have no regrets, in this palace full of scheming and crime, there is still some true affection.
After sending Concubine Rong away, Shen Jiahe went to the back garden alone and waited for Pei Yuan to come back to her after business, but he didn't expect to meet the queen's niece, Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen glared at her fiercely after seeing Shen Jiahe, and then was about to raise her feet to leave, Shen Jiahe looked at her back coldly and said in a deep voice: "Where did the unruly palace maid come from, why don't you kneel and salute when you see this palace!" ”
Zhenzhen is attached to the Queen Mother, and in the Jiuluan Palace, the Queen Mother asked Mama to arrange a tea-making identity for her, and she naturally wears the clothes of a palace maid, but Shen Jiahe will not recognize her, it must be deliberate, Zhenzhen turned her head resentfully and said: "Shen Jiahe, why do you have to find fault with me!" ”
"Call this palace by name, according to the rules, do you have to slap your mouth fifty, if you want to prove that you are not the palace maid in this palace, then show evidence, or take off this dress now!" Shen Jiahe looked at her and said coldly, she asked herself if she had harmed this woman, but she had to suffer her cold eyes everywhere, if she didn't let her know how powerful she was, wouldn't the queen of a palace be angry with a palace maid in the future.
Zhenzhen clenched her fists and knelt down in front of Shen Jiahe, gritted her teeth and said, "Slave and maid see the princess." ”
Shen Jiahe only sneered at the unwillingness in her eyes, and was about to order her to slap her mouth, but when she saw Pei Yuan coming over, Zhenzhen hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave has seen the prince." ”
Shen Jiahe snorted coldly: "When you see the future emperor, you react quickly." ”
Pei Yuan glanced at her and smiled at Shen Jiahe: "If there are palace people who are disrespectful to the future queen, they will be killed, and there is no need to be angry." ”
Zhenzhen's body suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and her hatred for Shen Jiahe was even worse, Shen Jiahe was upset and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
Pei Yuan looked at the figure walking away and explained to Shen Jiahe: "I was going to send her to her aunt's side, who would have thought that she actually went to beg the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother doesn't know what other purpose she has, and she will stay at the expense of interceding with me, don't think too much about it." ”
Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yuan helplessly and said, "I'm such a stingy person? It's just a palace maid, and I'm kept in the Queen Mother's palace anyway, so it doesn't get in my way. ”
