Chapter 122: Concubine Xiu
"The purse last time, can my sister give it to the emperor?"
Ning Guiren came to Xuan Guiren's side again today, but a few steps apart, she also took her own careful thoughts, last time she took the initiative to embroider the purse has been given to Xuan Guiren, and specifically said not to tell the emperor, just say that Xuan Guiren embroidered it himself, Xuan Guiren is still a little embarrassed.
"You're here," Xuan Guiren was practicing calligraphy with a pen, and thought about giving the emperor his own calligraphy and painting: "Give it to the emperor, the emperor doesn't know if he wears it or not, he has always had a concubine's purse." ”
"The emperor will definitely wear it, and it will not be in vain for your hard work, why, this is going to practice calligraphy and painting again? Do you want to give it to the emperor? Ning Guiren picked up one from the table, looked at the handwriting on it, it was very beautiful, and then got an affirmative answer from Xuan Guiren and said: "But everyone says that the queen writes well, and my sister is not afraid of being taken by the emperor, and then compared with the queen?"
Xuan Guiren obviously didn't think of this problem, frowned slightly, and even a natural flattery dissipated most of it because of this action: "I haven't considered this, it's just that I wrote mine, and the queen wrote the queen's mother, there is nothing to compare, we shouldn't be compared together." ”
"My sister is just too simple, does my sister think that the emperor thinks like you? The emperor has three thousand beauties, and it is inevitable that he will compare us when he has nothing to do, the word sister is good-looking, but I have seen the queen's words, to be honest, my sister is still slightly inferior. ”
"I can't compare to the queen's mother, the queen's mother is the main room, and I am a concubine, of course the queen's mother is good." A trace of loneliness flashed in the eyes of Xuan Guiren, she was born at the wrong time, in fact, the queen's family is good, and she is not bad, in fact, like Concubine Ling and then to Yun Concubine, which one is a bad family?
"I'm afraid this is our fate, and we will never be able to compare to the queen." Xuan Guiren sighed.
"Look at you, why are you talking about being unhappy?" Ning Guiren noticed the change in her mood, and turned to say: "So don't blame my sister for saying that let's compare less with the big guys, just be ourselves." ”
Yinlan was serving Mo on the side, heard Ning Guiren's words, and saw that her master was in a good mood and looked depressed without saying a word, she was originally a little unhappy with Ning Guiren, but after thinking about it, she felt that Ning Guiren was not wrong, and she was also kind enough to remind her that her little master was thinking about the emperor, and he should also accept it for himself.
Thinking of this, Yinlan also said: "Little master, Ning Xiaozhu speaks straight, don't be unhappy, otherwise don't write it first, the slave maid will help you make tea with Ning Guiren, it is the dragon well before the rain that the emperor rewarded before, and you have not been willing to drink it." ”
"That's it," Xuan Guiren slowly put down the pen in his hand, picked up the rice paper with both hands and looked at it, how to see how it was not pleasing to the eye: "The left and right are also in vain, and I don't have that ability." He tossed the paper aside, letting the ink penetrate it.
"I'm really wrong, it's a sin to see you laugh at yourself like this." Ning Guiren carefully folded the wet paper and put it away.
"It's not your fault, you're right." Xuan Guiren walked to the side of the couch.
Seeing her depressed like this, Ning Guiren looked at those words again, and said, "Xuan Guiren, if you don't mind, why don't you teach me?"
"Teach you how to write?"
"Yes, I don't like to study since I was a child, and my writing is crooked, seeing that your words are so good-looking, I also moved my mind, is my sister too lazy to teach?"
"How come," Xuan Guiren shook his head: "You have kindly helped me many times in my previous embroidery, and this little thing is naturally not a problem, but my handwriting is not very good." ”
"Oh, I'm not the emperor, the standards are strict, I like my sister like this, neat and square, how good, this is what our daughter's family should look like."
"That's what you said." Xuan Guiren couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth, it seems that he is indeed a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Yinlan, who came back with a tea cup, was also happy to see Ning Guiren coaxing her little master again, and she was also happy, and she was busy serving Ning Guiren good tea, standing aside to listen to them.
"When my sister went to bed, did she still use that medicine?" Yinlan also knew about this, and Ning Guiren did not avoid suspicion, although the master and servant were all fools, they were all with one heart.
As soon as he mentioned this, Xuan Guiren's face turned red: "The emperor likes it, and I have been using it, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, I'm just worried that if my sister suddenly doesn't use it, the emperor will be angry when he notices that something is wrong."
Xuan Guiren nodded: "You reminded me, I have to use it every time the emperor comes in the future, not to mention disturbing the emperor's interest, if I am found like this, it will be terrible." ”
"Okay, sister, don't worry, I still have a lot here, sister just use it." Ning Guiren listened to what she said, and was thinking to himself, and smiled.
"E-niang, I want to play." The fifth elder brother is still chubby, holding a small toy made for him by Hua Ying in his hand, which is actually a ground wooden stick tied to two dyed cotton balls, while fluttering his arms, wanting Hua Ying to play with him, but he is not tall enough, so he can only touch Hua Ying's calves.
Hua Ying picked up Yinze and hugged him to the couch next to her: "Okay, E-Niang is playing with you, in the blink of an eye, Yinze is almost two years old." ”
"Yes, in a few days it will be the Double Ninth Festival, and after the Double Ninth Festival, wait for a little and a half months, it will be the second birthday of our fifth elder brother." Qingxu picked up the small things that the fifth elder brother had dropped and handed them to the fifth elder brother, but after a while, the fifth elder brother would throw them on the ground again, such a naughty child at this age, if it is even more troublesome in ordinary people's homes.
"It's my birthday...... Eniang "The fifth elder brother has spoken much more flexibly now, and he has learned several words and a lot of vocabulary, Hua Ying is sometimes bored, and he can chat with the fifth elder brother for a few words, but he sometimes mutters and repeats the words he doesn't know where he heard them, and Hua Ying sometimes can't understand them."
"When the fifth elder brother turns three years old, he will also go to the school to study, and then the mother will be relaxed."
"What's easy, the emperor values the prince's talent the most, and when the time comes, he will be busy, and he has to stare at him every day to memorize and learn." Hua Ying disagreed, and flicked the rattle abandoned by the fifth elder brother on the side, and made a muffled sound: "I heard that the queen mother is strict with her son, and I don't know who to listen to, saying that the third elder brother doesn't care about the heat and winter, and when he is sleepy, he must go out to stand and endorse and complete the tasks assigned by the master or the queen, otherwise the queen will not follow." ”
"And this kind of thing? The queen mother couldn't help but be too ruthless. ”
"People say that the mother is strict and the father is kind, the third elder brother is pitiful, the mother is strict and the father is strict, and there is no biological mother who can love him. Anyway, I definitely can't be ruthless to Yinze, the child should learn to work hard by himself, instead of relying on being a mother's hard drag, if he doesn't want to be good, I won't force it, but to be an idle prince in the future, don't you say, Yinze?"
Yin Zecai didn't understand Hua Ying's big string of twists and turns, so he snorted casually to answer Hua Ying, Hua Ying pretended to be angry and patted his back gently.
"Where did you learn this? You've started beating the kids?" As soon as Concubine Jing entered the door, she saw this scene and quipped, "Did my sister learn from the queen or Concubine Jiang?"
There is also a noble man behind him, and the noble man is also dressed simply, every time he is gentle and gentle, it seems that he was pulled over by Concubine Jing again today.
"You two are here, sit down, it's just that Sister Jing has to laugh at others every time before she sits down, it's really troublesome, don't come next time."
"I'm here to bother Sister Yun again." Different from the bickering between the two, Run Guiren saluted according to the rules and said: "The fifth elder brother is getting more and more cute, and the concubine also wants to come and see." ”
"It's still a noble person, look at you." Hua Ying helped the fifth elder brother to stand up: "Yinze, quickly say Jing Concubine Niang'an, Runniang'an." ”
"Jing Concubine Niang Niang An, Run Niang Niang Ann." Yin Ze also bowed in a good way, and the three of them were smiling, and Runguiren was afraid that he would fall on the couch, so he stretched out his hand to help.
"It's okay, he walks very steadily now, manly, not afraid of falling, and he has to stand up by himself if he falls."
"Every time Concubine Yun said this, she was actually very scared in her heart." Concubine Jing muttered, Hua Ying made a gesture to hit her, and then stopped.
"Yes, what about the fourth elder brother? Why don't you bring her to play, Yinze also likes to play with this brother, in fact, there are many children of the same age, the three princesses and the four elder brothers, they were all born in almost a year, but the concubine almost never came. ”
"Don't mention it, the emperor said that although Yinming has not yet reached the age, he should be literate earlier, and he can keep up with the school in the future, and then the emperor will let her go to the second princess if she is fine, and let the second princess teach her younger brother to read, as if my mother is illiterate." Concubine Jing said angrily.
"Oh? This is strange, although the fourth elder brother is still young, why did the emperor let the second princess teach? It's not enough to send a companion to read. "The elder brother and the princess will have a companion when they reach their age, one is to help the royal heir study, and the other is to take care of the children's diet and daily life.
Hua Ying was puzzled, who knew that Concubine Jing was even more unclear: "Who can guess what the emperor means, maybe he thinks that Yinming is small and not suitable to invite a teacher to teach?" Or I think that the second princess and Yin Ming are not too old, all in all, I don't like it, the emperor treats the elder brothers harshly, it is estimated that I can be with the fourth elder brother well in the past two years, I don't want the fourth elder brother to get close to others early. ”
Although Hua Ying didn't have such thoughts as him, she could understand her thoughts: "I know that you feel sorry for the child, but a child from the royal family is to know etiquette and affairs, not to mention that the fourth elder brother is a boy, and the emperor also has his own ideas about doing this." ”
"Yes, Sister Jing, the concubine also heard that the second princess is smart and studious, and it is estimated that she will teach the fourth elder brother well." Run Guiren also comforted.
