Chapter 237: Mother and Daughter Reunited
Hades' Palace
Feng Mingye, Bai Lichen and Murong Xi were sitting together drinking tea, and Feng Mingye had a note and post in his hand.
I only heard him smile slightly, and then said a few years later: "Your Majesty is really interesting, and gave me a post to bring my family to attend the palace banquet when Murong Xi returned." I also specially asked the crow to send a message that I must go. You say, did your father mean that I should take you into the palace? ”
Murong Xi also smiled after hearing this, and then said, "Since my father has warmly invited, then we will go and cheer for it." ”
"Since Xi'er is interested, let's go and see what kind of goblin this Murong Xi is. When the time comes, you'll just stay by my side. Feng Mingye smiled, he was thinking about what kind of clothes to prepare for Murong Xi. The previous ice silk clothes must not be worn that day, so she can only choose a set in the cloud embroidery room. Fortunately, he secretly made two clothes for her according to Xi'er's figure before, otherwise she would really need to wear that purple dress.
Murong Xi didn't pay attention to Feng Mingye anymore, she knew that she had to change her face when she entered the palace that day, and when the time came, she just had to change her face to be different from Murong Xi.
Phoenix Dance Palace
Concubine Jing because she was pregnant, she especially wanted to see Mrs. Lan, since Lan Zixian entered the palace, she was afraid that Mrs. Lan's life in the mansion was like walking on thin ice, so she handed a post to the Lan Mansion, saying that since she saw Mrs. Lan, she was very kind and wanted her to enter the palace for a while.
And when the post was sent to the Lan Mansion, it was not given to Mrs. Lan for the first time, because since Lan Zixian entered the palace, Mrs. Zhi's arrogance has become even more unstoppable. Especially because she is still pregnant, she doesn't look at Mrs. Lan in her eyes. But because after Master Lan cleaned up all the subordinates last time, she didn't dare to go too far. It's just that because of Lan Zixian's entry into the palace, Master Lan never mentioned asking for Mrs. Lan to be in charge.
So, naturally, this post was sent to her. She frowned and leaned on the soft couch, a little puzzled by Concubine Jing's approach. Concubine Jing knew that she was Concubine Lan's mother, why did she let Mrs. Lan enter the palace? It's not enough, it must not be okay if the post is not sent, offending Concubine Jing, she knows that Zixian's life in the palace will not be much better. After all, Lan Zixian's position in the palace is lower than Concubine Jing, and when His Majesty did not make Zixian a concubine, he could not offend Concubine Jing.
She said slightly: "Song'er, give the post to Madame." Tell her that this post was sent by Concubine Jing. ”
"Yes." Song'er took the post and quickly went to Lady Blue's yard.
"Madame, here's a post of yours. This was sent by Concubine Jing in the palace, take a look. After Song'er entered, she said to Madame Lan.
"Put it down, you can go back." Madame Lan said slowly.
Song'er turned around and walked out of the yard, but Cui'er on the side was choked. I only heard her say angrily: "This post is obviously for you, but it was sent to Mrs. Zhi, it is simply unreasonable." ”
"Cui'er, why be angry. From the moment Lan Zixian successfully entered the palace, Mrs. Ben had already thought of the master's attitude. Let's see what Concubine Jing said, Mrs. Ben was very happy to know that she was pregnant. Remember to take some things to replenish your body in a while, and let's send them to the palace together. You must know that when Lan Zixian entered the palace, Mrs. Zhi took a lot of supplements for Lan Zixian. "Mrs. Lan has long been disheartened with Master Lan, if it weren't for Lan Ziyu still in the palace, I'm afraid she would have returned to the old mansion in Xuzhou with Cui'er at this time.
"Yes." Cui'er walked to Mrs. Lan's side and followed Mrs. Lan to look at the post.
The post said that the last time I saw Mrs. Lan was very cordial, I wanted to get together with Mrs. Lan this afternoon. I hope that Mrs. Lan can come to the palace to meet and have a good chat.
Mrs. Lan didn't deliberately dress up, and after eating something simply, she left the Lan Mansion with some things.
Mrs. Lan walked to the palace gate with the post, and saw Ning Er, who was beside Concubine Jing, standing at the palace gate to greet them.
"Madam, Niangniang has been waiting in the Phoenix Dance Hall for a long time. I was afraid that the guards guarding the door would not let me go, so I let the slaves and maids come to greet them. Ning Er said with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss Ning'er." Madame Lan said kindly.
They didn't talk much along the way, and soon came to the Phoenix Dance Palace.
"The folk woman has seen Concubine Jing." Madame Lan saluted Concubine Jing and said.
Concubine Jing hurriedly helped Mrs. Lan up and said, "Madam is polite, no outsiders will have to make this great gift in the future." ”
After Concubine Jing let people serve tea and pastries, she asked all the palace maids to stay outside. Ning Er was very eye-catching, and saluted Concubine Jing and said, "Niangniang, there are still your favorite snacks in the kitchen, the slave maid will go and take a look first, and then bring them over after they are ready." ”
"Go ahead." Concubine Jing said softly.
Seeing that everyone had already retreated, Concubine Jing knelt down in front of Mrs. Lan with a puff, and then said, "My daughter pleads guilty to her mother." ”
Madam Lan was shocked when she saw it, and hurriedly helped Concubine Jing up, and then said, "Yu'er, you can't be like this. Not to mention that you are now the third lady of the prime minister's family, even if you are my daughter, you can't kneel for me. This is the rule, and since you have become a mother, you should abide by this rule. Don't forget, when the Prime Minister met the Yuan Emperor and the concubine, he still needed to salute. If you are seen by outsiders, you will not be able to tell anything. ”
"It's Mother." Concubine Jing's eyes were slightly red, and she said very aggrieved.
"People who are already going to be mothers are still so willful. I heard that you are pregnant, and it is too late for your mother to be happy. Mrs. Lan held back tears and said happily.
"Mother, in fact, during the palace banquet, I originally wanted to make Lan Zixian have an accident. I didn't remember that because of my soft-heartedness, she entered the palace as a result. It's just that, in the house, are your father and Mrs. Zhi embarrassed you? This is what Concubine Jing is most afraid of, although she is a mother, she can't give her mother any convenience. Lan Zixian is different, although she is only a concubine, she has brought glory to the Lan family.
"Don't worry, the last time your father cleaned up those slaves, they didn't dare anymore. However, you know that after Zixian entered the palace, Mrs. Zhi's arrogance came up. Originally, your father wanted to return the power in the mansion to me, but considering Zixian, he has been taken care of by Mrs. Zhi. In fact, I am also happy to be relaxed, she is also a pregnant person, no matter how excessive, she has to accumulate virtue for the child. Then you are also a pregnant person now, but don't have harmful thoughts. Not for anything else, just for your children. Mrs. Lan was afraid that Lan Ziyu would trouble Mrs. Zhi or Lan Zixian because she was not doing well in the mansion, so she hurriedly instructed.
"I know, mother, since I got pregnant, I haven't been so careful." Concubine Jing said with a smile.
"Silly girl." Madame Lan said softly.
Concubine Jing looked at Cui'er looking at herself with tears in her eyes, so she smiled and said, "Cui'er, thank you for your hard work." In a few days, I'll transfer you to the palace, okay?" ”
She wanted Cui'er to serve her, because Cui'er was loyal. However, my mother couldn't have no close people, so it dragged on until now. She won't do anything to Mrs. Chi, but she will let her be honest in the house. When the time comes, you can get Cui'er into the palace.
"Is it okay for a slave? But miss, the slave maid still doesn't want to follow you into the palace. After the slave enters the palace, who will protect the lady? Now in the Blue Mansion, Madame is alone. The old man knew the child in Mrs. Zhi's belly every day, as well as the second lady in the palace. Every day I fantasize that the second lady can conceive an heir as soon as possible, and when the time comes, the Lan family will be even more glorious. Cui'er asked in a tangled voice.
Madame Lan opened her mouth before Concubine Jing, and she said with a smile: "What a stupid girl, if your young lady lets you enter the palace, Mrs. Ben will definitely not fight alone." Besides, Yu'er is just a proposal, it's just a matter of whether you want it or not. If Yu'er lets you enter the palace, you go. Mrs. Ben must have been very good at that time. ”
"Mother is right, now is naturally not the time, Cui'er just needs to be willing to follow me into the palace." Concubine Jing said with a slight smile.
"That's natural, the young lady is very good to the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid remember. It is an honor for Cui'er to be able to enter the palace to serve Miss. Cui'er said proudly.
"Look at this little mouth, it's really used to it." Madame Lan said with a smile.
"Okay, mother, you try these pastries, they are all made according to your taste. And this tea, which is also your favorite on weekdays. Concubine Jing was busy for a while, and she was afraid that Madam Lan would become restrained.
"Okay Yu'er, I'll take care of myself. These pastries look delicious, so I'll try them first. After Mrs. Lan finished speaking, she picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. Mrs. Lan is very satisfied at the moment, she feels that Yu'er is a lot more sensible, although she knows that she has paid a lot, as long as she can stay in the harem well, it is enough.
"By the way, mother, have you heard that Princess Jingruo has returned to the palace? Tomorrow night in the palace in order to celebrate her return to the palace, His Majesty specially held a palace banquet. I think the current situation of the Lan Mansion should have been sent to the post a long time ago, after all, Zixian is still the mother of the harem. Concubine Jing said slowly.
Madame Lan blinked her eyes and just nodded, but didn't say anything.
Cui'er couldn't help but say: "Miss, we do know about this matter, and I also listened to the housekeeper about the post to the Lan Mansion." However, the lord did not intend to take his wife into the palace. What the master means is that Mrs. Zhi is the mother of the second lady, and it is natural to bring her into the palace. It was already a great grace to give a post to the two ladies of the Lan Mansion at the beginning, and since it was not stated that the two ladies would enter the palace this time, then they could only take Mrs. Zhi alone. After all, Mrs. Zhi misses the second lady, and of course she wants to take the opportunity to reunite her mother and daughter. ”
"When did my father become so righteous? It's okay, I can give my mother a separate post here, you don't have to take it out yet, just wait until tomorrow when it's ready. After you enter the palace tomorrow, you will accompany me in the Fengwu Palace. After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she got up and went to the side, and took out a post that had already been written from the desk.
Cui'er opened it and said in surprise: "Miss, you are so prescient. actually wrote the lady alone on the post. ”
"I asked Concubine Shu for this post in advance, and of course, I explained the situation to her. She also knows a little about the affairs of the Blue Mansion, and it is really embarrassing to always ask her to send posts to write about the two ladies. So, this time, I took the initiative to ask her for a sheet with your name written on it. Concubine Jing said slowly.
"If you have a heart, Yu'er, you have to remember that you must not be so willful in the future. If you want to meet in the future, you will have the opportunity, and you don't have to do anything for me. In a mother's heart, your safety is the most important thing. Madame Lan persuaded.
