Chapter 39: The Empress (2)
In the morning, the sun was quite good, and it was warm outside, but although the palace was burned with silver charcoal early, it still felt cold.
The queen had a cold smell on her body, and her hands were cooler than Afu's, which made Afu's heart fall a little deeper, and she felt that she had come to the underworld.
She took Afu's hand and said with a smile: "Such a delicate girl, no wonder Pei Erlang likes it." ”
The big palace maid next to her smiled and agreed.
Afu hurriedly blessed it, and didn't know what to say, so she was there.
"What's your name?"
"If you go back to your mother, the concubine's name is called Afu, Fu's Fu."
Empress Jian Hui nodded: "Well, people are as their name suggests." How long has it been since you got married? Are you still used to it? ”
"Back to Niangniang, the concubine passed the door on the eighth day of the seventh month, the mother-in-law is kind, the sister-in-law loves and cares, everything is fine."
"Well, that's okay over there." Empress Jian Hui was talking to her clearly, but she turned her face to make eye contact with the big palace maid, which made Afu not embarrassed.
"Your sister-in-law is an old-fashioned person, you have to take care of it, if she is old again, you don't have to pay attention to her." The queen smiled, and the palace maid also smiled, looking extremely kind.
How dare Afu agree, and said tremblingly: "The queen mother will make the concubine ashamed." Sister-in-law is not very old, but the work is very thorough, treat our juniors is excellent, Niangniang is a sister to see her sister, always feel a little insufficient, a concubine from an outsider's point of view, sister-in-law has learned a lot of housekeeping principles from Niangniang, it is worth learning from the concubine. ”
Afu was exhausted from this sycophant, and only begged the queen to be kind to her for the sake of doing her best.
Empress Jian Hui chuckled and said, "Bixia, look at Afu's little mouth, she is really able to speak." ”
The palace maid called "Bixia" covered her mouth and smiled: "The second lady is really good-tongued, no wonder Pei Shangshu dotes on his wife like his life." ”
Afu was completely desperate, she didn't think that "being able to speak" and "spoiling his wife like life" were praising her.
She knelt at the queen's feet appointedly: "The queen's mother said this, but she tortured the concubine, and the concubine was stupid, and she hated to say that she revered her mother and sister-in-law by one ten-thousandth of her reverence."
She knew that this would avoid ridicule, so she simply gave up on herself, and she had done enough to act.
The queen didn't say anything for a while, and then said leisurely: "Afu, Shuyu, this person, the emperor is familiar with the palace, he is a capable minister, and he is also a direct minister, and there is no slight twist and turn in his heart, so the emperor and the palace love him." ”
Avnono.
"This is just this fool who is upright and affectionate, you are his pillow person, and he naturally cherishes you. But you must also be self-disciplined, and don't ruin the capable ministers who govern the country, which will be a great crime. ”
Afu was dripping with cold sweat, and kowtowed again and again: "The concubine is a little girl, but she doesn't have such ability." The husband is just taking pity on the concubines..."
Bixia said with a smile: "The slave maid knows that Master Pei has to be sent to the door of the mansion by his wife when he enters the palace, and he can only leave after getting close, let alone what a scene this is at home~"
The queen was surprised: "And this matter?" I don't know about it.,It seems that it's too late for this palace to mention.,Alas.。 ”
Afu was cold, thinking that Bixia was talking about the day she went home to see off her second brother, and when she left her husband, she kissed her.
She could only explain stubbornly: "Miss Bixia didn't know, that day the concubine was going back to her mother's house to practice for her brother, and her husband was about to go out, so they set off together, which was really just a coincidence." ”
The queen patted the back of her neck, and the enamel nail cover coldly crossed her ear: "This husband and wife are in love, which is a good thing." It's just that when you first married a wife, you indulged yourself for a while. It's just that the man's house is soaked in the gentle village of women all day long, which is really not a good thing, not to mention that he is lazy and wears out his body. ”
Every sentence pierced into Afu's eardrums, stabbing her face red and her ears red, and her eyes swollen and painful.
Bixia smiled: "Yes, the second lady was born so beautiful, no wonder Master Pei couldn't lift her feet." ”
She turned to Afu again: "The slave maid sees that the second lady is so thin, and she can't do it if she wants to come and wait for Master Pei, so if the mother gives a maid to go down, she will also help the second lady." ”
Afu bit her lip stubbornly, didn't dare to raise her head, and didn't dare to show half of her crying: "But it's up to the mother." ”
The queen and Bixia exchanged glances, but they didn't know that she could bear it so much.
A few days ago, Wang Xi. came to the palace to complain, saying that her concubine was a boneless cartilage person, and she relied on Pei Erlang all day and night, and she could confuse Erlang to open her mouth and choke her sister-in-law.
One is to get angry with his sister, and the other is to beat the bride, so as not to harm the ministers excessively, so the queen passed Afu into the palace to teach a lesson.
But since it was the first time, there was no reason to directly stuff people into Pei's mansion, but it seemed that the hand of the heavenly family was stretched too long, and he took care of the affairs of the courtiers' rooms.
She thought that Afu would definitely disagree, and found a reason to refuse, and then she could use this as an excuse to teach her a few more words, who knew that Afu would lie flat and laugh, which made her a little clueless.
After a pause, the queen picked up the teacup and said in a manly voice: "This palace doesn't want to meddle in your room. And if you are just getting married, it is more important to have children, if you haven't come out in a year or two, it's not too late for the palace to send someone to help you. ”
Afu's blood was cold, and Mu Mudi kowtowed again: "The concubine thanks the queen for her kindness." ”
Bixia wanted to say something, but an attendant came in and knelt down to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Mu Shuyuan asks to see you." ”
The queen knew that she had heard that Afu had entered the palace, and her sister of the Mu family was afraid that she would eat people and not spit out bones, so she came to save her sister.
She didn't let Ah Fu get up, and bowed her head slightly to signal Mu Shuyuan to come in.
