Chapter 51: Concubine Tong
Out of the queen's bedroom, Bai Ying followed behind Mama, completely unaware of where she was going. (Baidu search gives the fastest and most stable update to the literature network)
She and Mama both had someone to help hold the umbrella, and the snowflakes made a subtle sound when they landed on the oil-paper umbrella, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon.
After walking for a while, Bai Ying didn't know when she would arrive at her destination, and she didn't want to ask her grandmother, so she could only walk quietly.
I don't know if Mama noticed her uneasiness, although she walked steadily in front of her, what she said was to her.
"Although Concubine Tong doesn't like to move around on weekdays and doesn't often chat with people, she is a kind master, you don't have to be nervous."
These words obviously comforted Bai Ying, but it also made her think that Concubine Tong was an old person like her ancestor, and she was even more curious about Concubine Tong.
After walking for a while, Mama finally stopped.
Bai Ying glanced up at the plaque on the palace gate, and the three words Taihe Palace directly entered her eyes.
If she remembers correctly, Taihe Palace is the queen mother's bedroom, how could Mama bring her here.
But when I thought that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, although the Queen Mother was old, but Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother naturally also had the play of their older generation, and the Empress naturally did not want to be too involved, nor did she want to disturb the young people.
Seeing her standing in the distance, Mama couldn't help but step forward and whispered: "Miss Xu, go in with the old slave, it's not good for Concubine Tong to wait for a long time." β
Bai Ying smiled apologetically at this grandmother, and followed the grandmother to Taihe Palace.
From the moment she stepped into that high threshold, Bai Ying waited to see what the Queen Mother and Concubine Tong had to say.
When she reached the back room, she saw five people sitting in it, two of whom were sitting at the top.
If this is a gathering of the Queen Mother and the concubines, why is there a young woman sitting next to the Queen Mother? What is the relationship between her and the Queen Mother?
With doubts, Bai Ying knelt on the ground with her grandmother.
"Queen Mother, Concubine Tong, Xu Baiying has been brought."
As soon as Mama's voice fell, Bai Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Bai Ying has seen the Queen Mother and Concubine Tong!" β
She really didn't know who Concubine Tong was, so she only said it once as Mama said, and then kowtowed.
"You are Xu Baiying? Get up and let me see. β
Although Bai Ying knelt on the ground, she could still tell that the person who spoke was a young woman sitting next to the Queen Mother.
When she was still thinking about whether to get up, the grandmother who was kneeling in front of her had already gotten up, helped her and said, "Miss Xu get up, Concubine Tong will let you go up and show her." β
After hearing Mama say that the young woman was Concubine Tong, her body was obviously stunned.
Such a young woman turned out to be Concubine Tong?
Shouldn't the concubine be like the Queen Mother? For example, sit down and sit down to the first three.
Thinking of this, Bai Ying couldn't help but glance at Concubine Tong, who was looking at her with a smile on her face, and then walked to the other party with her chin in her mouth shyly.
This is also too unusual, this Concubine Tong looks like her mother for the same years.
When she walked to Concubine Tong's side, the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the side, spoke.
"Look at this girl's Peugeot, and the mourning family likes it when she sees it."
In the face of the Queen Mother's praise, Bai Ying still blessed the Queen Mother with her chin in her mouth, and said: "It is the Queen Mother who has raised her love." β
After she said this, her hand was held by Concubine Tong beside her, patted the back of her hand, and said happily to the Queen Mother: "That's natural, no matter how you say it, she is also a girl that Thirteen fancies, and there must be some reasons that can make him look at it." β
Saying that, the Queen Mother sighed again and said, "Speaking of which, the acquaintance between Thirteen and this little girl is also interesting." β
Having said this, Bai Ying finally understood who Concubine Tong and the Queen Mother were talking about, and finally knew whose blessing she was able to enter the palace.
Is Uncle Thirteen going to let her come to see the elders?
That guy, obviously he hasn't been in touch for a few months, he is still far away, and his abacus has been fought for so long, it seems that Uncle Thirteen has indeed made enough preparations to not be in the capital for two years.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
Now that I think about it, Uncle Thirteen, as the youngest son of the first emperor, naturally his mother will not be old.
It seems that Concubine Tong is the biological mother of the thirteenth uncle, and she only knows this now.
No one had revealed this to her before, and she didn't ask Uncle Thirteen, and Uncle Thirteen naturally didn't tell her.
Fortunately, she didn't talk nonsense just now, otherwise it would have caused unpleasantness, and in the end she was the only one who was unlucky.
Concubine Tong asked her to give her a seat, and she sat beside Concubine Tong, and although she was nervous in her heart, she still kept herself as calm as possible so that she could answer Concubine Tong's questions in a good manner.
But what surprised her was that Concubine Tong not only did not embarrass her, but also kept asking her what she liked to eat and what she used, and the Queen Mother occasionally came over to interject and ask some questions about her likes and dislikes.
At this moment, Bai Ying felt like a prisoner, but this prisoner was a little different.
Faced with Concubine Tong trying so hard to refresh her impression, Bai Ying seemed a little crying and laughing.
Shouldn't she be the one to make a good impression on Concubine Tong? But things are reversed.
At this time, Bai Ying didn't know that everything that happened in the house fell on the person outside the house.
The man looked at the scene in the room, smiled from the bottom of his heart, and finally turned around and left directly.
Bai Ying, who was sitting in the house, noticed that someone seemed to be watching outside, but when she looked up, she couldn't see anything, only snow falling from the sky.
After chatting with a few elders for a short time, when the dinner was about to begin, Bai Ying moved to the front hall with the Queen Mother and Concubine Tong.
Although the dinner was held in the front hall, it was still separated from the ministers as a ladies' dependent.
When Bai Ying saw Nalan Minshuang again, the other party came over with an excited face, and after saluting the Queen Mother and the concubines, he came to her side, bumped her with his elbow, and asked, "How is it?" Seeing Brother Cangshu's mother, do you have a different cognition? β
"Well, there is indeed a new understanding."
As soon as Nalan Minshuang heard her say this, she hurriedly urged her to answer, saying, "Tell me quickly, what is the cognition." β
Looking at Nalan Minshuang, who looked curious, Bai Ying sighed helplessly, and said: "It's just that you are such an eighth woman, I see that you are still worried that you are better, be careful that the son-in-law who has a marriage contract with you suddenly comes forward to pester you." β
Nalan Minshuang, who was suffocated by Bai Ying, looked unhappy, but was soon moved by the anger of joy on the spot.
After dinner, Bai Ying sat next to Concubine Tong and watched the play, and in the face of Concubine Tong's constant overtures, she was already able to cope with it.
As she prepared to set off the fireworks, she walked out of the hall with the crowd.
She looked at the snowflakes falling in the air from time to time, and suddenly felt something stuffed in her hands.
She looked down and found that it was Concubine Tong who stuffed something for herself.
It was a crystal clear bead, and there was a pattern on the inside of the bead, and if you looked closely, you could tell that it was a phoenix.
Such a unique bead was made into a necklace, which is now in the palm of her hand.
She didn't know what Concubine Tong meant, so she cast a puzzled look at Concubine Tong.
"This was given to me by the first emperor when I had thirteen, and now I will transfer it to you, hoping that you can treat thirteen well."
For a while, Bai Ying only felt that this bead was a little hot and didn't dare to accept it.
After all, this was given to Concubine Tong by the first emperor, how could she take it?
But after facing Concubine Tong's sincere eyes, she could only smile at her subordinates, "I will." β
In fact, even if Concubine Tong didn't say that, she would treat Uncle Thirteen well, but only if Uncle Thirteen came back safe and sound.
As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden loud "bang" startled everyone.
Bai Ying reflexively looked ahead, and happened to see fireworks blooming not far away, and was immediately attracted by the gorgeous scene.
The fireworks in the prosperous era, but after a while, they dissipated all at once.
That gorgeous picture made Bai Ying think of only this sentence.
Her hand held the bead tightly, and secretly prayed in her heart that Uncle Thirteen would never be fine.
After watching the fireworks, Bai Ying quickly said goodbye to Concubine Tong and followed the palace maid out of the palace gate.
As soon as she stood in front of the palace gate, she saw Xu Jiang standing aside waiting for her from a distance.
She stepped forward, and before she approached Xu Jiang, she smelled a faint smell of wine in the air.
The sound of her feet stepping on the snow and the whistling wind made it a little difficult for Bai Ying to walk.
Unexpectedly, when she almost walked to Xu Jiang's side, her feet slipped, and the whole person fell directly to the side.
"Beware!"
A cold word came from above her head, and the smell of alcohol that had been in the air was even stronger at this time.
Bai Ying finally straightened up and said gratefully to Basil behind him, "Thank you." β
Basil stood straight, still with an ice cube face, and said, "You're welcome, it's my duty to protect you." β
It seems that the one who followed her just now was Basil.
When Xu Jiang saw the scene just now, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Is there anything wrong with Ying'er?" β
Bai Ying had a faint smile on her face and said, "It's okay, fortunately, there are Luo guards." β
After saying this, she walked directly to the carriage on the side, but she was always curious in her heart, analyzing it little by little.
It's not strange that Basil will be next to her, the only thing that makes her feel strange is the smell of alcohol on Basil's body.
Although it was Chinese New Year's Eve, it was normal to drink a little wine while being happy, but the smell of wine on Basil's body was familiar to her.
That wine is often drunk by Uncle Thirteen, and it is made by him alone, and outsiders will not have it.
Now she smells it on Basil, what does that mean?
When she got into the carriage, she almost hit the carriage because of distraction, and if it wasn't for Basil's warning, I'm afraid she would have been teary-eyed by this time.
She withdrew her hand from Basil's hand, looked at Basil and smiled gratefully, and said, "Thank you." β
Then she walked straight into the carriage, and Basil quickly closed the carriage door.
In the palace gate, Li Yuanzhi looked at Bai Ying, who had just walked into the carriage, and suddenly an excited smile appeared on his face.
