Chapter 44: The Domineering of the Yuan Emperor's Concubine
"The princess is really a good idea, wait a minute, the slave maid will go to the internal affairs office and solve this matter first." Aunt Yu smiled and said.
"Aunt Yu, you are the old man next to the queen mother. He also followed the queen mother to the palace from the palace, right? Therefore, you are Xi'er's elder in front of Xi'er, so don't always be a slave and a slave. I know that there are many rules in the palace, and Xi'er is not a person who does not pay attention to etiquette, but you can just follow the four girls around me and call yourself me, and you can not talk about the rules in Ningxi Palace. When you leave Ningxi Palace, you can call it whatever you want. Murong Xi said gently.
Aunt Yu looked at Murong Xi with emotion, although Murong Xi's face was not as beautiful as the queen's mother, but her heart was indeed the same. Moreover, the princess's eyes look very similar to the queen's mother. By the princess's side, it was as if I had returned to the queen's side to serve.
Aunt Yu's eyes were slightly red, and she said to Murong Xi: "Your Royal Highness Princess, slave, it's not that I remember. ”
"Auntie, don't you have to cry, have you been wronged by something?" Murong Xi looked at Aunt Yu in front of him and asked with some sadness.
"My aunt is moved, where will she be wronged by Your Majesty's side? When I saw Her Royal Highness, I thought of the Queen. The queen mother is gentle and kind, although Her Royal Highness the princess has not been in the palace since she was a child, but after all, she has the blood of the emperor and the mother in her bones. Her Royal Highness the princess is as kind as the queen, so the aunt thought of the queen. Aunt Yu replied gently.
Kindness? She, Murong Xi, is not kind at all, okay. It's just that she will be twice as good to those who are good to her, and if she is not good to her, then she will not let go, but will double her return.
"Auntie, I will ask you about the queen mother in the future, will you tell me about it?" Murong Xi asked with a smile.
"Of course, you only entered the palace today, and there will be time in the future, and when the time comes, my aunt will tell Her Royal Highness all the things about the queen." Aunt Yu said with relief.
Just as he said this, Father-in-law Shun came to Ning Xi Hall again, and then saluted Murong Xi and said, "Your Royal Highness, it's about to be time for lunch. The emperor asked the old slave to take you to Xianfu Palace and dine with the emperor. ”
"Xianfu Palace? Isn't that the bedroom of the Yuan Emperor's concubine? Murong Xi asked suspiciously.
"Yes, the emperor said that the Yuan Imperial Concubine was arranged yesterday, and the lunch after you returned to the palace today will be in Xianfu Palace. also invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yan, the emperor knows that you don't know anyone else in the palace, and the Yuan Emperor Concubine can be regarded as your aunt no matter what she says. So, I want the family to be close and close. You see? Shun Gong explained.
"Well, this palace is going here, and please wait for a while." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he went in to explain the situation to Aunt Yu and Mo'er, and after discussing it, Murong Xi took Aunt Yu and Mo'er to follow Shun Gong to Xianfu Palace.
After arriving at Xianfu Palace, Gonggong Shun did not let people go in to report it, which shows that the emperor should have ordered it a long time ago.
This way came to the main hall of Xianfu Palace unimpeded, Murong Xi saw the emperor and the Yuan Emperor sitting in the center of the round table, and there was an empty seat on one side of the emperor, and Murong Yi and Murong Yan were sitting on the other side. The dishes on the table were almost ready, as if they were just waiting for her arrival.
After Murong Xi stood at the door and observed, he walked in, saluted slightly, and said, "Father, Yuan Mother Concubine." ”
"Xi'er, sit down with your father." The emperor beckoned Murong Xi to hurry over.
Murong Xi smiled and then walked over and sat down next to the emperor.
The emperor's smiling eyes were about to squint together, and he said to the big guy: "Xi'er returned to the palace today, and originally wanted to do it in a big way, but in a few days it will be a hundred flowers banquet." When it was time for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, we would celebrate Xi'er together. Xi'er, what do you say? ”
"Father, Xi'er didn't want everyone to know when he returned to the palace, he just wanted to be filial by your side. So, keeping everything simple is excellent. Our family has a lively meal here, what do we have to do with others? Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Okay, Xi'er is right, our family reunion really has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just that I'm happy, and I can't wait for everyone to know that my princess has been found. Murong Yu said happily.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er is a sensible child. The concubine congratulated His Majesty on not only finding Xi'er, but what she didn't expect was that Xi'er was so sensible. After speaking, Emperor Yuan raised her wine glass and prepared to clink glasses with the emperor.
After the emperor happily picked up the wine glass, he said to Murong Yi and Murong Yan: "You two will get along with Xi'er in the future." ”
"Father, don't worry, Yan'er likes the imperial sister very much." Murong Yan said with a grin.
Lunch passed quickly, and Murong Xi spent the afternoon in Xianfu Palace. The emperor and the concubine asked some questions about where she lived before entering the palace, and whether her adoptive parents were very good to her.
Murong Xi also replied vaguely, the emperor and the Yuan Emperor concubine guessed from Murong Xi's mouth that the adoptive parents treated Murong Xi very well, judging from Murong Xi's conversation and temperament, I believe that the family who raised her is also a family that is not blessed and noble. Finally, Murong Xi has not suffered for more than ten years, and the emperor is relieved.
It's just that Emperor Yuan's concubine never thought that although Murong Xi didn't grow up in the palace, the etiquette in the palace didn't go wrong, which gave her no chance to tell the emperor that she would assign a nurturing grandmother to teach her.
After Murong Xi finally got rid of them and came out of Xianfu Palace, he walked towards Ningxi Hall with Aunt Yu and Mo'er.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is tired?" Aunt Yu asked.
"Well, Aunt Yu should be extremely familiar with the Yuan Emperor's concubine, right?" Murong Xi asked slowly.
"Yes, the slave maid came out of the prime minister's mansion and has been serving the queen since she was a child. And with the slave maid, there is Huan'er, who has been by the side of the Yuan Emperor and Concubine since she was a child. Therefore, I still know about the Yuan Emperor's concubine. Aunt Yu said carefully.
"Well, my aunt will tell me her story later." Murong Xi said lazily.
"Yes." Aunt Yu replied.
"Princess, the slave has something to say." Aunt Yu said again and again.
"You say." Murong Xi could see that Aunt Yu was very cautious.
"Princess, you can get closer to Princess Yan in the future. But...... The Yuan Emperor and Concubine must not be too close, it is best to be estranged. Aunt Yu said in a low voice.
Because they hadn't returned to Ningxi Hall yet, Murong Xi looked around for a while, then nodded, didn't speak, and motioned for Aunt Yu to have something to say and wait to return to Ningxi Hall to explain in detail.
Aunt Yu understood at once, and she didn't say anything.
After returning to Ning Xi Palace, Murong Xi asked, "Why did Aunt say that just now?" What happened before? ”
"Alas, the princess did not know. The emperor and the queen were in love with each other, and later wanted to marry the queen as a concubine. However, who knew that Emperor Yuan's concubine also fell in love with the emperor at first sight. Later, she forced her to die, and asked her mother to force the prime minister to beg the emperor to marry her back to the palace.
The emperor originally disagreed, so the Yuan Emperor Guifei used the kindness of the queen mother to ask her to ask the emperor, and finally the emperor had no choice but to marry the Yuan Huang Guifei back as a side concubine. And the Yuan Emperor Concubine is not as gentle and kind as you see today, and there are some things that the slave maid can't explain to you in detail now. It's just that you have to be more careful in case she does something to you. It's not that the slave maid spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but the Yuan Emperor and the concubine, she is not a gentleman.
The slave maid has always believed that the queen's difficult birth had an inseparable relationship with her, but there is no evidence to prove it. originally wanted to follow the queen's mother, but the slave maid was unwilling, so she lived secretly by the emperor's side for more than ten years.
You just returned to the palace, and the slave didn't want to tell you this, but today's Yuan Emperor and Concubine are very attentive to you, and they are gentle and considerate. The slave is really afraid that you will fall for her, so you have to be careful to watch out for her. Aunt Yu said a lot in one breath, she sincerely hoped that Murong Xi would be smooth and smooth when he returned to the palace.
"Aunt Yu, I know you're doing it for my good. I have just returned to the palace, and I naturally have no idea what is happening in the palace. Don't worry, I'll be careful in the future. If the queen mother was really killed by her, I wouldn't let her go. Murong Xi grabbed Aunt Yu's hand and comforted her.
Aunt Yu was relieved to see Murong Xi like this, she naturally hoped that the princess would be innocent. However, after such a princess returned to the palace, she didn't know why she was killed for fear of being killed. Therefore, the princess in front of her made her very pleased, and she believed that she would definitely seek justice for the queen.
"Princess, you're tired too, let's rest for a while." After Aunt Yu finished speaking, she went out.
She went to the Internal Affairs Office to ask someone to buy those roses for Murong Xi, and now the roses have not bloomed, but it is okay to move those first.
"Mo'er, you ask people to go to the flower garden to loosen the soil, and tomorrow a few of us will plant the herbs I brought first." Murong Xi said lazily.
Herbs? Miss, are those you planted poisons?
Mo'er didn't dare to say it, but just took people to loosen the soil. And Murong Xi was also a little tired, so he took a nap on the soft collapse for a while.
Sure enough, when dusk came, the palace people moved all the roses and planted them around the flower garden. By the time Murong Xi got up, it had already been all done.
Murong Xi came out to take a look, and it was exactly what she wanted. After a while, when the roses fill the flower bed, they will cover all the herbs inside. And the yard will be fragrant and beautiful.
Murong Xi nodded with satisfaction and said to Aunt Yu, "Aunt Yu, your movements are too fast. However, it was all done according to Xi'er's idea. Xi'er is very happy. ”
"Princess, although the roses have not bloomed at this time, they have almost grown. The slave and maid just said one more word in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this didn't happen soon. Aunt Yu said modestly.
