Chapter 231: Broken Mirror Reunion
"Mother, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Xiao Tao ran in from outside with great interest, Tian Xin saw that she was so interested, so she nodded: "Then I'll listen to the good news first, and it won't be so bad when I hear the bad news." ”
"The good news is that the emperor has said that no one will come to the harem to trouble you again, do you say that everyone is happy?" She showed Tian Xin the new clothes made in the palace.
She nodded, this is indeed good news, so that she doesn't have to discipline these unruly women anymore.
But the next bad news is indeed bad news for him, because Xiao Tao said: "The bad news is that the emperor will no longer draft draft girls, and will directly select a few people to enter the harem, but I don't know who these people are to be selected." ”
Xiao Tao looked at him with a melancholy expression, it was obvious that he was more worried than Tian Xin.
But in fact, in principle, this is not bad news, Tian Xin held his chin and looked at the patterns on the new clothes, and he was very happy.
The matter of taking a concubine is not easy for her, if there is such a person who has nothing to do, then she will not be so easy to talk about anymore.
When the show girls officially entered the palace, they called Tian Xin over, thinking that it was better to let her get familiar with her first, or let them get familiar with her. After all, as a queen, she naturally has to be prepared for this.
Tian Xin sat in the position next to Gu Han, originally thinking that it would be very abrupt, but he didn't expect it to merge unexpectedly. It was also the first time since he ascended the throne that the two of them were together. Not only the show girls below, but even she herself was very worried.
"There are a total of eighteen people who have come to the emperor this time, you can choose the place for them by yourself, do you want to be a promise or a concubine? Or do you want to be a concubine? After that, my father-in-law went up with a plate with several brands.
Gu Han didn't care at all, so he picked a few casually and threw them down. It's probably equivalent to whoever receives it is sitting in what position, this move stunned everyone present, except for Tian Xin.
He yawned a little tiredly: "Since this has been thought about, let's disperse, go to any house with whatever identity you are, and don't cause more trouble for me." ”
After saying this, the ministers and the show girls had not left, but the emperor left first. Not only did he leave, he even pulled Tian Xin next to him to leave.
In this way, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded, they didn't expect to choose a concubine so casually, which was not at all what they imagined.
The daughters of those civil and military officials did not seem to be the expected concubines after being selected, and they stomped their feet in anger one by one. However, they were even more angry when they saw that the people next to them who were originally palace maids were higher in rank than themselves, and they were almost about to fight.
But in the end, it was good to say that someone stopped it, and it would not be a fight. Everyone was unhappy, but the main owner had long since disappeared without a trace.
The two of them went to the back garden, and they didn't know if they wanted to relax. Gu Han was a little weak-hearted, and he kept his head down and didn't look at the woman next to him the whole time.
Tian Xin was amused when he saw his appearance: "Okay, okay, why are you doing this?" I don't blame you. I understand that you don't have to look like you're doing something wrong. ”
"I just want you to say one thing, if you don't want me to take a concubine, I'll send everyone off immediately." His eyes are very sincere, where is the mature and steady appearance in front of everyone just now?
In fact, having been with him for so long, knowing that he is actually like a child, he has just become the emperor for a long time, so naturally he doesn't know what the emperor should do.
But Tian Xin shook his head and looked at the brilliant flowers blooming next to him: "I don't have any opinion on this, besides, isn't this what the ministers all request?" If you don't, they'll probably have to say this and that. ”
"I know that the emperor is not good, so he is considerate of you everywhere, I just hope that those women will not come to me again, so good." There was a slight loss in her eyes, but it quickly flashed.
Gu Han didn't expect her request to be so simple, she choked in her throat one by one and didn't let it out, and finally she could only sigh lightly: "It's okay." ”
"But I have something to ask you, and I want you to tell me the truth." After Tian Xin said this, he turned his head and stared at him tightly: "I want to ask who that woman in the harem is?" I'm sure you know. ”
"This, I know is known, but." When he said this, there was no follow-up, and when he looked at him again, his eyes were full of hesitation, and he wanted to tell Tian Xin or not.
However, he only hesitated for a moment before touching his chin and pulling Tian Xin to sit down next to him: "It's okay, since you want to know and tell you, the woman who lives in the cold palace is my mother." ”
"I may have told you before that my mother is gone, no, I told you that both of my parents are gone. But what I never expected was that my mother was still in the cold palace, and I didn't believe it when I first found out. He opened his mouth lightly, and his eyes were a little cloudy, as if he was recalling some old past.
Then he began to say slowly: "At that time, I thought that the fire burned into the palace and burned my father and mother to death. After all, the corpses were already charred and blackened at that time, and they couldn't even be seen. ”
"After the amnesty, the people told me that there was another person in the cold palace, I wanted to go over to see it, but I didn't expect it to be the queen mother." He pursed his lips tightly, and even his eyes were a little red, which Tian Xin had never seen before.
After a moment she asked, "Then why didn't you bring her out?" ”
"Of course I thought about it, but my mother didn't want to go out with me, and he thought it would be good to stay in the cold palace and avoid the noise and chaos outside. He said he was tired and didn't want to be involved in any of this anymore. "Probably that's why Tian Xin can see her every time she goes.
But that's good, and if she had the chance, she would have liked to go and sit with the mother.
In fact, according to the current relationship, she should also be her own queen mother.
"But if you don't bring her out, won't the world be too thick?" Tian Xin regretted it as soon as he said this, so what? Even if she is in the cold palace, the position of the queen mother is still hers.
The next day, a scene that Tian Xin didn't expect happened, and the most powerful of the women in the group came to look for her.
This was expected, but it was also unexpected, I didn't expect them to ignore Gu Han's words and go straight to the harem to find her.
The woman wore Kodan's fingers and the makeup on her face was exquisite. The Confucian skirt on her body was bright red, but it also made her more dignified, she didn't even look at Tian Xin after she came over, and directly threw the flowers and plants she took care of on the ground, and it was a mess in an instant.
Xiao Tao went out directly and looked at the flowers and plants distressedly: "What are you doing here?" ”
"What am I doing? Isn't what I'm doing obvious enough? Who are you a subordinate to come and ask me what I am doing? Do I need to tell you what I do? Xiao Tao, who was blocked by her words, had nothing to say, and finally had to go back to the house and tell Tian Xin about the situation.
In fact, she had already heard it when there was a commotion outside just now. Now seeing that such a woman is coming to find fault again, I can't help but feel a little angry in my heart.
But it was useless to be angry, she had to put on a smile and politely asked, "Who are you?" Ran to my kilometer to fall asleep without permission, can my beloved flowers and plants be convicted? ”
"Sin? What sin am I? I'm just careless, sister, and I'm sure you won't ruin the bond between our sisters because of this. My sister just entered the palace today, and I don't know much about this rule, so I came here to ask my sister. She looked fake, where was the energy she had just spoken to Xiao Tao?
Tian Xin naturally knew that she was pretending, so she hooked the corners of her lips and smiled: "This is naturally no problem, but since sister, you accidentally broke these flowers and plants, sister, I naturally won't blame you." I just hope you can help me take care of it like before. ”
"Heh, my sister is really joking, how can the broken mirror be reunited?" After saying this, she pushed another pot of flowers to the ground even harder, and it was split in an instant, and the smile on her face was still there.
