Chapter Twenty-Eight: Listening
The two kept looking at Wei Baohua's back as he left, until they couldn't see anything, and then they turned their heads over, Wei Baozhen smiled and asked, "Why did Sister Kangping send the eldest sister away?" I don't like her to stay away, it's just that, there's no need to be so obvious. ”
Wei Baofu smiled indifferently, "Sister is too worried, I'm just too lazy to deal with it, so I simply squeezed her away, although I am a little childish, I can also try to be happy, who doesn't have a little temper." ”
The two sisters are smart people, and they don't need to go around in circles to speak, Wei Baozhen likes her directly, but she still has to persuade her, and said euphemistically: "Sister should not be greedy for this time in the future, although the eldest sister is not deep in the city, she holds a grudge and loves face, and she will have to trouble you in the future." ”
If she didn't want to ask Wei Baozhen about things, she didn't want to offend Wei Baohua at this time, Wei Baofu nodded gratefully, "Thank you cousin for reminding me, I'm not afraid of her making trouble, if my cousin is fine, you might as well come and sit in my room." ”
Wei Baozhen did not refuse, and took the personal maid to follow Wei Baofu to the side hall, the side hall of Cining Palace is very spacious, although it is not as luxurious as the main hall, but it also has a unique charm, Wei Baozhen smiled: "Sure enough, the imperial grandmother really loves you from the bottom of her heart, look at the furnishings here, whatever you take out is a fine product, but fortunately the eldest sister didn't see it." ”
Wei Baofu didn't think there was anything, after all, she had a lot of such strange ornaments in her own hands, in addition to looking good, there was no role in the side, "If my cousin likes it, I'll give you a few pieces of it, but I don't have it, there are a lot of these small objects." ”
Wei Baozhen covered her mouth and chuckled, "I forgot, our Kangping County Lord is a master with silver, if I don't take advantage of this cheapness, then it will be stupid, don't just talk about it, I can wait for you to send it." ”
Wei Baofu is a generous character, it is rare to have a little sister who has a deed, so naturally he will not be stingy, "If you don't mind, call me Sister Zhen in the future, it will be a little raw to call my cousin." ”
Princess Duanhui is not so easy to get along with everyone, although she occasionally goes out of the palace to participate in the banquets held by those noble ladies, but except for the cousins of her maternal grandfather's family, outsiders are generally not very careful, mainly because those noble ladies have a lot of eyes, and she doesn't like to deal with it.
"Sister Jane's title is excellent, we will spend more days together in the future, and we really shouldn't see each other." Wei Baofu is also willing to treat people with sincerity, although many situations are unclear now, but Princess Duanhui, whether it is herself or Concubine Yu, is a smart person, and it is okay to come and go more.
"If Sister Fu asks about anything, just say it, the dogwood next to me is a strict mouth, and she will never go out and talk nonsense." Wei Baozhen knew that the run on Wei Baohua must be because there was something, so she didn't go around in circles.
"Sister thinks too much, I do have some things I want to ask you about, it's not a secret, if Sister Zhen knows, you might as well tell me more about Concubine Shu and the four princes, you also know, the relationship between us is a little special, and there are some small actions on the side of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, I always have to know more, so that I can have the bottom in my heart."
Wei Baozhen is not a little girl who doesn't know anything, Concubine Yu will tell her a lot of things, she also knows some things about Wei Baofu's parents, and she regrets her in her heart, but she and Concubine Shu's mother and son don't get into the river, and they get along politely on weekdays, and she doesn't know a lot of things.
"Sister Zhen, mainly yesterday's family banquet, I glanced at the fourth prince from a distance, although his mother and I are not very close, but in the end we are closer than others, and we will inevitably have to deal with him in the future, so I want to know more about him."
Wei Baofu saw that she didn't speak, so he was anxious for a while, and said one more word.
When Wei Baozhen heard this, he smiled and said angrily: "What else do I want to know, I still hesitate, if I can't tell you, do I want to say it, you ask the fourth brother, then there is nothing to hide." ”
"To tell the truth, I looked at it coldly, although the fourth brother is now small, but he is the smartest of the brothers, although he is a little fun-loving, but he is very measured, he is a rare good child, if you want me to say, you should also be close to him, after all, it is impossible for the imperial grandmother to protect you for a lifetime, although we are from the clan, but in the future, we still have to have a family that can be relied on."
Wei Baozhen also said this from the bottom of his heart, Wei Baofu smiled and nodded in agreement, "Sister Zhen doesn't know, although I don't have any deep feelings for Concubine Shu, but I am very willing to associate with the fourth prince, I see that he is not much different from the third prince." ”
Wei Baofu is not easy to ask directly, although many things are known to the people in the palace, a little inquiry, she can know what she wants to know, but she just entered the palace, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at, a little move, I am afraid that she will be seen by someone with a heart, everything is better to be cautious.
"The fourth brother and the third brother are only a few months apart, I remember that the fourth brother was born on the twenty-third day of the winter month, although I was still young at that time, but I still remember that at that time, the lady concubine was in danger of childbirth, and it seemed that there was still the handwriting of the queen and Yao Guifei, it was too young at that time, and I didn't remember too many things."
Wei Baofu silently calculated in his heart, his mother noticed that she was pregnant in February, if it was really her mother, the four princes should be born in September and October, not in the winter moon.
"I heard that at that time, the concubine Niangniang had been raising for more than half a year, and she also injured her body and bones, and she couldn't get pregnant in the future, and her father was so angry about it, and the people in the palace were panicked during that time, for fear of making my father unhappy."
Wei Baofu was a little stunned, after she was sure that Concubine Shu was her aunt, she was wondering if her mother had died, although her grandmother couldn't tell the two sisters, maybe the people in the Yongyi Marquis Mansion couldn't tell the difference, but Wei Baofu could, because she clearly remembered that her mother's eyes were different from her aunt's.
If the aunt is not pregnant, then the imperial doctor will not be able to deceive the palace doctor, but if she is pregnant, where is the child born to the aunt.
As if one mystery after another, Wei Baofu frowned, and Wei Baozhen asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong with Sister Fu, but what's wrong?" Wei Baofu shook his head and asked, "Then my grandmother's family has sent someone to take care of Niangniang." ”
"Naturally, there is, and there is more than one, during that time, everyone said that the palace would be the world of the lady concubine in the future, but fortunately, the lady concubine does not like to take the initiative to provoke people, but there is no big contradiction."
Wei Baofu probably had the context of the whole thing in her heart, it must be that her mother was grief-stricken after the death of her father, while trying to keep the posthumous child in her womb, and on the other hand, she had to resist the harassment of the emperor and hide the fact that she was pregnant, she remembered that her aunt often loved to hide in her mother's yard and read books.
It is easy for the mother to hide from others, but she must not be able to hide from the aunt, at that time, it seems that only the aunt can save the mother, when he thinks of this, Wei Baofu only feels cold, how determined is the aunt to replace the mother, where did the mother go after giving birth to the younger brother, is it, it is possible that she is still alive.
Wei Baofu wanted to ask Concubine Shu, but then she dispelled her thoughts, if her mother was still there, she would definitely not bear to see her aunt endure all this, Wei Baozhen saw Wei Baofu's face full of contemplation, and did not disturb her, she stood up and quietly looked at the furnishings in the room.
Although there is no definite evidence yet, Wei Baofu's intuition tells her that things are probably what she speculated, otherwise, her grandmother would not be so disgusted with Concubine Shu, she thought that Concubine Shu was her mother, but she didn't know that her mother was probably long gone.
Does the Yongyi Marquis Mansion know all this, Wei Baofu has some doubts, the closest person to his aunt is his mother, if she is for her mother, she will definitely not tell the Yongyi Marquis Mansion everything, I am afraid that the whole world will treat my aunt as a mother.
Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, Wei Baofu smiled reluctantly, and said to Wei Baozhen: "Thank you Sister Zhen for telling me, I am all alone, and I don't know how to get along with everyone, and I will teach Sister Zhen more in the future." ”
Wei Baozhen smiled and said: "Look at what you said, they are all your own sisters, you don't need to say these words, the fourth brother is a good boy, I saw yesterday, he also likes you very much, if you want, you can look for him more." ”
Wei Baofu said half-truthfully: "Sister Zhen also knows that my grandmother doesn't like Concubine Shu very much, if I go to him often, I'm afraid that her old man will be unhappy, and I can only secretly associate with him in private." ”
Wei Baozhen can also understand, after all, she grew up with the Queen Mother, and the relationship between the two is very heavy, and she will definitely put the feelings of the Queen Mother in the first place, "Don't worry, I won't talk too much in front of my grandmother, the fourth brother's child is also cautious, but you have to guard against the eldest sister being a demon, in fact, the rest are not easy to mess with, you have to be careful in everything." ”
If she didn't really like Wei Baofu, Wei Baozhen wouldn't have said these words much, in the end, she still hoped that she would be good, the two little girls were both precocious and sensible, and it was difficult to meet someone who could talk to the right eye on weekdays.
"Sister Zhen, don't worry, if I don't understand anything, I will definitely ask you, and when the time comes, you won't dislike me for having too many things." Wei Baofu is not entangled in his mother's affairs, but now he is just guessing that her excessive emotions will only be a burden, so it is better to let go first.
Wei Baozhen said with a smile: "How can I dislike it, you can talk to me more if you have nothing to do, I estimate that my grandmother's side is almost over, let's go over and take a look, I told my mother that I would accompany her to eat at noon, if I didn't accompany her, it would be time to toss, and after a long time, you will know that my mother is an excellent person to get along with." ”
