Chapter 271: Gone
When Concubine Ling left, it was a sunny day, according to Ke Nan beside Concubine Ling, Concubine Ling was even smiling at the time, even if the illness made her body have to shrink into a ball, making her brows frown slightly, but at the last moment, she seemed to anticipate something, her lips hooked slightly and then closed her eyes, and at the same time stopped breathing.
The day of the burial of the concubine was also a sunny day, the white clouds were breezy, and the air was even filled with some floral fragrance, which was also the last batch of flowers in the autumn season, and just like the concubine herself, her life was short and warm.
Hua Ying was surprised that she didn't cry, probably because she shed some tears that night when the concubine told her in advance, or maybe there was no such deep sisterhood between them at all, but Hua Ying felt that maybe it was the spirit of the concubine in the sky that soothed her emotions.
"Niangniang, you've been standing for a long time, let's go back to the palace." The emperor posthumously sealed the concubine as a concubine, and then buried it in the concubine mausoleum, the coffin stopped in the palace for a few days, Hua Ying inevitably stayed for several hours every day, and today she was sent away with her own eyes, and the body would naturally not be able to bear it, Chang Huan persuaded.
Hua Ying looked at the people who were getting farther and farther away, and also felt that the world was impermanent, and the people around her would only become more and more distant from herself, until she disappeared, even if she didn't shed tears, the heaviness in her heart was certain, not that she was sad, but she felt a little unable to lift her strength: "This palace still wants to go to the palace of the concubine to sit for a while, and help this palace to pass." ”
"Niangniang, you can't go to the room where this person goes......" Qingxu's words came to his lips, and he could only turn into a few words: "Yes, the slave will help you go." ”
Chang Huan also saw Hua Ying's state in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and felt uncomfortable for Hua Ying in her heart, in the past two years, she has completely regarded Hua Ying as her only master, because she has been grateful for Hua Ying's goodness, and Hua Ying has indeed trusted her more after she did things for Jingyang Palace, and in the face of such a situation, she always wants to do something.
"Master, otherwise, you should go and see the third princess, today the slave and maid observed the situation of the third princess, and it seems that it is not very good." Chang Huan can indeed get to the point when he talks and does things, and knows that the way to let Hua Ying eliminate some of his troubles is to shift the target.
"Today, she won't be able to see her mother at all, not to mention that Wen Chun is not like the third elder brother at that time, her age is not only remembering, but also understanding the friendship between people, how can she not be sad?" Hua Ying didn't pay attention to the third princess, the third princess was going to be raised by herself if nothing happened, and she really cared about the third princess.
Qingxu also echoed on the side: "Yes, the third princess must be sad and sad now, and it is reasonable for Niangniang to want the third princess to calm down, but now that the third princess has no one to talk to, you may be able to take care of the third princess." ”
"That's it, then let's go see Wen Chun." Hua Ying gave up going to the main hall to sit alone, talking to the third princess for a while, and also reassuring them.
The eyes of the third princess have always been red and swollen, Hua Ying thought that she would comfort the child, but in the face of the third princess, she still had some troubles that she didn't know where to start: "Wen Chun, don't cry, let's drink some hot tea, this is also your mother's favorite tea." ”
"Guifei Niangniang, hasn't Eniang been in good health all along? How could it be so sudden? Wen Chun saw someone she was quite familiar with, and finally couldn't help crying loudly, she was a little girl who had been struggling these days, as if the whole world had given up on her.
Hua Ying knew that if she told her that her E-Niang's body would have been dead for a long time, she would probably blame herself even more, feeling that if she hadn't discovered it earlier, she would have been even more unable to step into this hurdle, so she didn't say anything, just patted Wen Chun's back and said: "Your E-Niang has been thinking about you before leaving, she said that you are a strong child, even if she leaves, you can live a good life, Wen Chun, promise me, don't let your E-Niang down, okay?" ”
Wen Chun is a girl in the end, and her mind is still relatively sensitive: "But Erchen is afraid, Erchen has no Eniang in this palace, it seems that he has no support, and there are many princesses of Huang Ama and him, so he won't think of me." ”
Hua Ying knew what Wen Chun was worried about, on weekdays, he Wen Chun was also a little heartless, he loved to fight and make trouble, and he was no worse than some elder brothers, but at this time, he must be panicked in his heart, after all, there are so many people in this harem, but there is no one to rely on, which makes Hua Ying very sad, she did not hesitate to stretch out her hands and take Wen Chun's shoulders: "Wen Chun, your mother, actually entrusted you to me, I will not let you be helpless in the palace." ”
"But Erchen still misses Eniang very much."
"Silly boy, how could I stop you? Doesn't make you miss your mother? After that, you just live with us, but your own mother is naturally still a concubine, if you forget him, I will be unhappy. Hua Ying touched her head affectionately again: "Okay, today is the time for your E-Niang to leave the palace, and your E-Niang doesn't want to go out and is worried about you in the palace, so hurry up and drink this cup of hot tea, I'll take you to eat something again, if your E-Niang sees it, she will be happy in her heart." ”
"Thank you, Mother Yun." Wen Chun has changed Hua Ying's title from a noble concubine to a concubine, which means that she has recognized and accepted Hua Ying.
The others who saw this scene were also happy for Hua Ying, after all, it is not easy for such a big child to accept others, but fortunately, Hua Ying coped with it very well, and now it is time for the emperor to announce the sixth palace, of course, before that, the emperor also needs to discuss with the queen.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't agree with it, so they will hand over the third princess to Concubine Yun to raise."
The queen's tone was calm, but people could still hear the dissatisfaction, Yun Guifei already had two elder brothers and a princess, all of them were held in the palm of the emperor's hand, and now she had to add another child, even if it was just a princess, it also fueled Yun Guifei's arrogance even more, although Hua Ying had never been pampered and arrogant.
The emperor also expected the queen's disagreement, the balance in the harem was not only something he could achieve alone, but also had the common role of the queen, and the emperor also knew that if the queen felt that her status was threatened, then the queen would definitely not agree to this suggestion.
But the emperor also felt that the queen did not need to be like this, Hua Ying did not do anything to threaten the status of the queen, even if she had such ability, she would not take action, the emperor believed in Hua Ying.
It's just that the emperor alone believes that Hua Ying is useless, the queen still frowns tightly, but when the emperor raised his eyes to look at him, she let go, revealing a decent smile: "Your Majesty, you might as well think about it, many concubines in the harem do not have princesses, you just chose a concubine Yun Guifei who has both children and daughters, I am afraid that some concubines will also be unhappy." ”
"I have already decided, besides, the number of children also shows that Yun Guifei has the ability to raise and take care of her, and the third princess will be handed over to Yun Guifei, and I can rest assured." Not to mention, Concubine Ling had already promised herself a long time ago that she would let Hua Ying raise her children, so that she could go with peace of mind, and the emperor would not be moved by the queen's words.
The queen saw that the emperor was so resolute, and she didn't know the story, but she felt that the blessings of this concubine Yun Guifei's children were too good, one man and one woman were not enough, but she had another son, and now she was going to be raised by the emperor with a princess, she was really lucky, I really don't know what the emperor thought in his heart.
"It would be nice if Concubine Yun could be the same as the Fucha clan." After the emperor left, the queen sincerely sighed that the Fucha clan was a lot more stupid than Hua Ying, but the most critical point was that the Fucha family had a big business, and the power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the emperor could not rest assured that the Fucha clan had so many children, but Hua Ying's family was not, and now Hua Ying's father was an idle official, and he didn't have to worry about anything, which seemed to reassure the emperor, but the other brothers were all capable, and her position as a noble concubine was well deserved: "Her brother and brother are not too high, But every one of them is to make a difference, and the emperor is also happy to cultivate them. ”
"There are very few concubines who can do this without making the emperor suspect it, even if the emperor trusts Yun Guifei now, but when Yun Guifei's brother goes to the next level, the emperor may feel that their family will inevitably be dominant." Although Xinyu is just a palace maid in the harem, she obviously understands the situation, although what she said makes sense, but the queen has no choice, she can't bear Hua Ying to go on like this, if one day Hua Ying is promoted to the imperial concubine, she will become more and more embarrassed as the queen.
The queen sighed, outside the door is the third elder brother, looking at the people inside, he is also a big child, at that time Eniang's matter brought him a lot of psychological shadows, when he was young and ignorant, the queen explained that he believed it again, and now he can't help but always think of what those people said, and he doubts whether what the queen said is true, but every time he has such a thought, he will think that the queen is very good to him, and has been working hard to educate himself, he really shouldn't be so distrustful of her.
"Huang Eniang, why are you sighing again? But what's the matter?" Thinking like this in his mind, the third elder brother still entered the main hall to greet the queen.
"It's nothing, is it difficult to leave homework today?" The queen basically won't tell the third elder brother anything about the harem, she will only instill some thoughts of her own in the third elder brother.
Seeing that the queen didn't want to say, the third elder brother didn't ask much, but just perfunctory to the queen because he had something in his heart: "After returning to my mother, what Mr. taught today is not difficult, and the sons and daughters understand it, and they only need to memorize it a little." ”
"Okay, at that time, the palace thought that you were a motivated child, no matter what, you must remember not to disappoint the emperor." The queen is busy with her own affairs now, and she won't notice that although the third elder brother seems to have a lot of words with her, his expression is actually wandering: "Go and clean up, and have dinner with your emperor Ama in the evening." ”
The third elder brother is already in his teens, and he is also the age when he can set up a prince, and it is really false for the queen to say that she doesn't pay attention, but the emperor has never mentioned this matter, and she can't help but be a little anxious: "Remember to talk to your emperor Ama well, as long as our mother and son have one heart, they will definitely let you sit on the throne of the prince." ”
"Thank you for your trust." The third elder brother actually doesn't have confidence in himself, to be honest, he is not very smart, but his imperial mother seems to be very sure that he can ascend to the throne of the crown prince.
