Chapter 151: Late Spring (4)
"What?" She seemed to be aware of her gaffe, and there was some embarrassment in her eyes.
"The slave maid felt happy just now, because he got this fine jade pendant, if this jade pendant is turned into silver, the slave's brother and younger brother can live a good life for half of their lives."
"You're happy for something like that? You just got kicked, don't you feel ashamed? "I've been by her side for more than six years, and she still doesn't know me very well, yes, when has she, the proud daughter of heaven who is so high, ever understood the feeling of being a slave.
"A slave is a slave and a maid, and when she is beaten by her master, she naturally does not dare to complain. But they were also beaten, and to get such a good piece of jade pendant, the slave was naturally happy in her heart. I held the jade pendant and stretched it out in front of the queen, looking proud and happy.
The queen smiled faintly, it was a laugh at me, but her suspicions about me also dissipated, so she said to me lightly: "Look at your little appearance, is it because this palace usually treats you badly?" ”
"Naturally, no, Niangniang, you are very good to the slave maid, otherwise the slave maid's home cannot build three big houses, and the younger brother can still go to the academy to study." I squatted on the ground, arranging the skirt that was dragging on the ground for the queen, and when I saw her, I took a hairpin from my head and stuck it on my head. ”
On the second day, she had not been by the queen's side for a long time, and she had been out of the palace to recuperate, and she was suddenly invited by the queen, although her hair was gray and her eyes were not very bright, but she still only needed one look to know what the queen was thinking.
On this day, Mama Scarlet did not go out of the palace, but came to my room late at night and asked me if I would like to be His Majesty's concubine.
I've never thought of it that way. I want to go out of the palace, I want to go to the big house written in the eldest brother's letter, built in the big house by the Luoshui Bridge, I want to see the academy that my younger brother is admitted to with his own strength, watch him become an official, marry a wife, maybe I can also marry one, sit on the edge of my bed, even the child in my arms, I can't take care of it, and my eyes are full of my people.
So I refused, this news made Mama Scarlet look solemn, but the queen treated me better, she knew that I didn't covet her things, although that thing didn't belong to her.
The queen finally gave birth to a concubine according to her wishes, and she was very happy, and she held it every day, and took care of it herself, as if she had a new hope, and she seemed to have finally settled down, and this time His Majesty sat on the ground in front of her bed for a little longer, and also hugged the child who cried a little weakly, and gave him a nice name.
The son of the noble concubine, the eldest son of His Majesty, is called Yi, which means bright fire. And the queen's child, called Xuan, is to inherit the flame and extend the meaning of the temple, the intention of this name is too much for the queen to feel full of hope.
Therefore, she felt that she was finally able to rely on her husband's respect and the blessing of her children to sit firmly on this phoenix seat in this harem, and you and she finally relaxed on His Majesty's harem.
Within a year, four or five concubines entered the palace. The harem doesn't seem to have anything for her to worry about, but, when she really wants to sit back and relax, the second prince always coughs and shivers, sometimes coughs out of breath, is weak, and always doesn't like to eat. At a young age, he has already taken medicine and drank ginseng soup to replenish his body, and the imperial doctor said that it is difficult for the second prince to live past the age of twenty.
This news, when she was stabbed to His Majesty by the concubine, the queen was holding her two-year-old son and crying, she has always been a beautifully dressed, elegant and generous woman, but at this time she was crying, out of breath, and her image was completely gone.
When His Majesty came, his cold eyes were really the first time I had seen him. He comforted the queen and said that he would definitely find all the famous doctors in the world to treat the second prince and continue his life, but his eyes were indeed so cold that he didn't look at the queen, and the child in the queen's arms, he just, lightly, glanced at it.
I always felt that Mama Scarlet's cold gaze and tone were enough to make a person fall into a cold hell, after all, at that time, she was also a person who could kill me with just one sentence.
At that time, His Majesty's eyes were really hell, a place where there was no end and no direction, and he could never get out after being lost. He noticed that I was looking at him, so he raised his eyes and glanced at me. It was this glance that made the queen aware of it, and her eyes also changed.
In the second year, Concubine Dan was pregnant with her second child, she had already given birth to a prince, and now her pointed belly was like a thorn, piercing into the heart of the queen whose eyes had changed.
The concubine is unwell, she is also pregnant, the royal heirs in the palace in the past few years, although they have been born one after another, but the children in the palace are also difficult to support, and now there are only three princes and two princesses in the palace, and now there are two children at once, which is really a great joy.
And in the palace, there is a big and small thing, which is related to me, that is, I was also named Jiang Liangren, and was personally given by His Majesty to live in the Leqi Hall on the edge of the flawed lane.
What kind of place is Flawed Lane, I know too well, Your Majesty's meaning, although I don't want to understand, but I still understand, the lowly people who carry their masters on their backs and climb onto the dragon bed naturally don't deserve any good place to live, this is Your Majesty's punishment for me, and it is also an explanation to the queen.
The queen was naturally very happy, although in the end she still pushed me a step and counted on me, but she would not want to see me, and she really became a favorite concubine who could be used to stabilize her position.
I am indeed not favored, Your Majesty is also very busy, the concubine is still deeply favored, she is also in this harem, the blessed person with both children and daughters, that little daughter, is really beautiful.
And in this small courtyard where I am for more than a year, two concubines from palace maids have lived in one after another, and I have also welcomed my first child.
I sometimes can't sleep at night, looking back on my life to this day, even the child in my belly is not something I fought for, so I don't have anything to cherish, and I don't have anything to give up. Along the way, I don't think there's anything I can't lose.
When this thought came to my mind, my eldest brother and younger brother, and this child, quickly came back to me. So these bad thoughts are a lot farther away from me, maybe I'm not now, it's not the time to rest, but I, just from the beginning, walked here, I was tired and couldn't get out.
Tonight, Your Majesty will come to me, I glanced sideways at His Majesty, who was sleeping. He's here with me, always sleeping, but as long as you don't see his cold eyes, it's good to just stay by my side like this.
