180 - Going around in circles is hard work
When Huanchun returned to the side hall with the sound of changing clothes, even Concubine De almost didn't recognize the voice.
It's not that it's not good-looking, but at first glance it seems that you see two completely different people.
Simple makeup, palace maid's clothes, and light cloth shoes make Niansheng look more transparent and gentle. People can't help but sigh, although it is said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, but if this is a good life, it is really coarse linen clothes can also play Xi Shi.
If the voice under the bottom of the flower pot in the flag dress is luxurious and dignified, then the current voice is unconsciously bringing out a sense of pride, which makes people dare not offend her easily.
Of course, Concubine De would not confide her opinion, but just asked Huanchun: "Don't we have any other decent clothes in the palace?" Why did you find a set of palace maid clothes for Miss Zhaojia? ”
Huanchun explained that this was Niansheng's own request.
"There are some rules, she doesn't know, don't you know?" Concubine De Niangniang has always been gentle and rarely speaks like this, so Huanchun couldn't help but shudder even if she knew it was fake.
Kneeling down in a proper manner, he replied for Huanchun: "If you go back to Niangniang, this is indeed what the courtiers themselves requested." The courtiers are with the maids, and if you say that they are temporarily replaced, there is no more suitable body than the one on the body now. ”
Concubine De was eager to hear what Nian Sheng had to say, so she motioned for her to continue.
"If a courtier is a draft, she may be a female official when she enters the palace." With Niansheng's family background, she will naturally not be just a palace maid when she enters the palace, but in order to explain the past in front of Concubine De, she can only say this. "So Aunt Huanchun's clothes are what the courtiers should choose. And going to the palace is not ordinary, a little slack will be suspected of trespassing, and the courtiers don't want to cause trouble for themselves and their mothers. If things can be solved with just a little bow, why not? ”
Concubine De nodded and didn't say anything more.
During the day, Concubine De let Niansheng follow her, even taking a nap was served by Niansheng, she was really called as a palace maid, serving tea and pouring water, beating her legs and changing clothes, and the place where she could use Niansheng was definitely not called Huanchun.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Concubine De drank tea that she let Huanchun go down with everyone, leaving her alone to speak.
"Sit down. It's been a tiring day. Concubine De finally showed the usual easy-going smile.
After thanking Concubine De, Niangniang leaned in and sat on the chair with half of her buttocks.
"How? On this day, do you feel wronged? Concubine De asked seductively.
After thinking about it, he got up and left his seat, and blessed Concubine De before he spoke: "If you go back to your mother's words, you don't feel wronged." It's just that the courtiers are coarse, and I'm afraid that the service in many places will not be good, which will make the mother unhappy. ”
Concubine De stared at the voice standing in front of her, and hesitated for a while before she could figure out what to say. "Niansheng, you came to the Yonghe Palace a year ago, do you remember what you said to the palace at that time?"
The courtiers remembered. At that time, the courtiers were reckless, thank you for the grace of the mother. Nian Sheng listened, guessing that what Concubine De was going to say next was probably the main topic of her letting herself enter the palace this time.
"Since you remember, this palace won't go around in circles with you." Concubine De nodded, and finally decided to go straight to Niansheng, "This palace only asks you, at the end of today, is the meekness and forbearance you show your original nature?" ”
Nian Sheng didn't expect that Concubine De, who was high up, would ask such a direct question, so that she couldn't reply for a while. "Mother, what are you...... Please forgive the courtiers for being stupid and not understanding the meaning of your words. ”
Concubine De raised the corners of her mouth slightly, she was more inaccurate about the voice, if she really ate accurately, she wouldn't be guilty of using this day to try her. In Concubine De's heart, Niansheng is a noble daughter who understands the rules and is sensible, but she has seen a lot of such young ladies, some of whom are strong and hard, some of whom are useless, and some of whom have two faces before and after.
The eldest brother's Fujin background is not low, but he always looks submissive, which makes Concubine Hui very dissatisfied. The crown princess thinks very highly of herself and usually doesn't move around too much with others. The people of Babel's Fujin also know how to advance and retreat, but can they be in their own mansions...... Anyway, it can be said that everyone is known to be arrogant and spicy, but fortunately, the mother-in-law of Concubine Liang is softer, so there are not so many rights and wrongs. His eldest son's Sifujin is a rare thing to say, but the matter of the heir is a little worried. His youngest son has not yet married, and he heard that the emperor meant to arrange it with Yinxiang, thinking of this, Concubine De couldn't help but think, if it weren't for the emperor's words to treat Niansheng as Yinxiang's person, would she like such a daughter-in-law.
But after thinking about it, there are still serious things waiting for Concubine De to judge, so she quickly pulled back her thoughts. "This palace just feels that the person who said those words to this palace that day and the person who worked hard here in this palace today do not seem to be the same person."
Although Nian Sheng was still a little unsure of the purpose of Concubine De's question, he already had a corresponding word. "Back to Niangniang's words, the courtiers are not talented and can't answer such a profound question from Niangniang. But the courtier wants to ask Niangniang, are you the same person in front of the other Niangniang and you in front of the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother? ”
"Presumptuous!" Concubine De sat up straight and scolded lightly, "Is this also something you can ask?" ”
Nian Sheng knelt down in response, "Niangniang Rong." The courtiers thought that everyone would show different emotions and reactions to different people. offended the mother before, and it was the courtier's last resort for the sake of her own selfish thoughts. It is the duty of a courtier to serve her mother today. The only thing in common between the two is that they were both done by courtiers, and there is really nothing else to compare. ”
"You mean this palace can make things difficult for you?"
"The courtiers don't dare. The courtiers never had this intention. ”
"That's why you think Hongu is stupid, that's why you ask this kind of question?"
Nian Sheng never expected that once Concubine De, who has always been kind to others, became sharp, it would be so difficult to deal with, and she had some means in the past, but at this time there was no place to show it.
Concubine De Niangniang looked down at the people on the ground, with a smile on her face that she couldn't tell whether she was proud or satisfied, and asked faintly, "What?" Running out of words? ”
Niansheng gritted his teeth and kowtowed, "It's not that the words are poor, but please forgive the courtiers first, and the courtiers can speak." ”
"Oh?" Concubine De was intrigued by the voice, and she really wanted to hear what could make her really angry. "This palace forgives you for your innocence. You say. ”
"Thank you for the grace of not sinning." Nian Sheng kowtowed again, then straightened up, stared at the floor tiles in front of him and said: "Niangniang's heart is kind and kind, everyone knows it, how can she be as knowledgeable as a mere courtier, so it is impossible to say that Niangniang is a difficult courtier." ”
"What is there to forgive sins?"
"The mother is wise, and she will never ask any inappropriate questions. So ......" couldn't help but hesitate when the words came to his mouth, and pinched his left hand on his right hand before forcing himself to continue, "So Niangniang's question has another purpose." The courtiers are afraid to speak in vain, but I am afraid that today Niangniang summoned the courtiers into the palace, and even during the period, it was not your original intention, but was instructed by others. Because these words were directed at the emperor, he couldn't help but tremble a little after reading it.
Concubine De couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and the more carefully she stared at Niansheng, she couldn't wait to see her through. Concubine De put herself in the shoes of every word of Niansheng, if this girl didn't say this, she was showing weakness to herself, she said it, obviously she didn't want to show weakness to others. A lady who has been forced to such a point and doesn't want to show weakness and softness is really as the emperor said, very interesting.
Seeing that Concubine De ignored herself, Nian Sheng said in a soft voice: "The courtiers were not sure to eat, but now it seems that there is a tacit understanding and agreement between you and the person who instructed you to do this, and the courtier's performance today will affect your decision." As for what it was, or what the decision was, the courtiers did not know. The courtiers only know that it is about themselves, and if they don't do their best, the courtiers themselves will be sorry in the end. If you don't know anything, you're at the mercy of others, and once you know, there's no reason to regret it later. ”
Listening to these perverse words behind the voice, Concubine De felt for a moment that she understood this girl. In fact, whether it is gentle and virtuous, pungent and cunning, it is really rare for a girl like Nian Sheng to dare not regret it for herself in the future. Thinking of this, Concubine De couldn't help but be a little stunned, why didn't she show up before for such a girl with both ability and political integrity? It's a pity that my youngest son doesn't have this blessing.
Thinking of this, Concubine De finally showed a relieved smile, she has a personal fate, even if it is set by others, it is not the meaning of God. Concubine De only now decided to really talk openly and honestly with Nian Sheng, "What you say, this palace doesn't want to comment. But this palace reminds you that it's better not to say such things in the future. Alright, sit down. The rules of Yonghe Palace are not in these false ceremonies. ”
Nian Sheng exhaled softly, his heart relaxed a little, he got up on his knees, and sat down in obedience, waiting for Concubine De's words.
"You're smart. This palace will definitely pave the way with you again. Letting you come today is really not what this palace itself meant. As for who it is, I don't need to say more about this palace. And why did I call you here, in fact, there is only one sentence, which is to tell you in advance, the emperor wants to marry you and the Fucha clan of the Sangge family to marry Yinxiang as a side blessing. Concubine De's words were very neat, she understood that this was really not a good thing, so the long pain was better than the short pain, and she said it happily, so as to leave time for Nian Sheng to think.
