Chapter 120: Phoenix Fall (3)
Although this woman is not as thoughtful as Concubine Ying and can fight for the best life for her son, as long as she has it, she will give it all with her heart and lungs, so that the deep relationship between mother and son "depends on each other", Lan Yi understands.
She looked at the man in front of her with compassion and shed tears with him.
The cries of the Ruihua women finally got up, and for a while, the palace of King Gong was full of mourning, and only the little county lord who didn't know how to leave was smashing his mouth peacefully in his sleep.
The continuation of life may be so cruel.
Of course, Wei Changjue will not be immersed in grief all the time, and in the next period of time, he has to hold up everything, and he will be busy with his feet for the sake of the dignity of his mother's posthumous affairs.
After Lan Yi rested for a few days, he also went to the queen's Zigong Palace to guard for a while, and after seeing Zigong, he thought that he could no longer listen to her and smile again, so he couldn't help crying.
Fortunately, the emperor remembered that she had just given birth, and the confinement was not full, so she was allowed to have a funeral at home.
However, Dashun attaches the most importance to filial piety, Lan Yi knows that this time can not be too special, and she really respects the queen in her heart, and she will hold on to the things that can be supported, she will hold on to the end, and she will do everything at home, and never let people catch a little handle.
The pain on her body and the mental discomfort after giving birth entangled her, crying a few times in front of the queen's spirit, her chest was stuffy and uncomfortable, and she was depressed, and often shed tears when she looked at the child.
Lan Yi didn't know what was going on in her, but the nurse said that many wives after giving birth will have times of emotional instability, and they will be able to get through this period of time.
Occasionally, Ning Fu and Wei Changjue brought up a mouth, the man was very distressed, and while he was busy with outside affairs, he often persuaded Lan Yi by his side: "People die like lights go out, and the grief after death is all for future generations to see, you often follow and serve the queen mother during her lifetime, and you can make her happy, which is enough." ”
Lan Yi's haggard couldn't hide it, but she still comforted her husband, "You also know that this mourning is for future generations to see, then I can't add any chaos to Prince Gong's mansion, as a daughter-in-law, I have to do what I should do, not to mention that the queen mother treats me really well." If you remember what I've done, you'll be better for me in the future, and that's enough. ”
Wei Changjue couldn't persuade him, he could only take everything related to Lan Yi to heart, no matter how tired he was after coming back from outside, he also took care of his wife's emotions with care and care, and Lan Yi finally saw the world get better under such careful care.
After waiting for the book to be sacrificed to the Taimiao, on the day of the Ling, a total of 72 well-trained people carried the coffin out of the east gate of the forbidden city, followed by the civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives, all and some monks, Taoist priests, more than ten miles of long queues, can not see the end at a glance, how grand and grand the pomp and circumstance should be.
The emperor intended to give the queen dignity this time, but Concubine Ying not only did not stop her, but also blindly added to it, showing her virtue.
But everyone in the harem knows that at the moment, Concubine Ying is riveting and going to the vacant posterior, even if she is not from a high background and may not have a chance to be in the backyard for the rest of her life, she must earn the reputation of being the first person in the harem.
And the emperor, it is said that a lot of things have been added to the Changfu Palace these times, although they can't be rewarded, but the grace in them has been quite obvious, so that many people are not angry, but they have to admire Concubine Ying for so many years, but she is still favored.
Since the queen has died, Weiyang Palace is about to be vacant, and the people who have followed her, under the arrangement of Liu Gonggong next to the emperor, have made a good job, Liu Gonggong mentioned a few words, saying that the people who come out of Weiyang Palace must live a good life, so as not to lose the majesty of the queen of Daxing.
Only the water chestnut here is different, she has a special identity, and the emperor personally issued an edict to allow her to leave the palace and go to King Gong's mansion.
At that time, Lan Yi was holding the little county lord on the stone bench under the tree to watch the falling leaves, now it was the winter moon, and a withered yellow leaf fell after a while, the little county lord babbled, the little hand pointed around, I don't know whether to see my mother, or see the fallen leaves, and suddenly laughed.
The water chestnut's eyes were hot, and he thought to himself, how good it would be if the master could see such a scene. After settling down, Fang stepped forward and saluted, "The slave has seen Princess Gong, may you be blessed and safe." ”
Lan Yi hurriedly let her get up, and said gently: "I was busy at first, and I couldn't say a few words to you, these times, I have worked hard for you." ”
The water chestnut shook his head and said softly: "Slaves are not hard. ”
Lan Yi said: "Come over and take a look at Xiao Huan'er." ”
The name of the little county lord has been decided, Rong Huan, it can be seen that the father wants to put his best wishes on her, Lan Yi originally thought that the ordinary name could be suppressed, and wondered if to change the word, Wei Changjue dispelled this idea in a word.
"Our daughter is already rich and glorious, no one can compare, even if her fame is so rich that she can suppress it."
At present, the water chestnut walked over, looked at the white and soft little baby, immediately smiled, and said: "This skin is so white, it is the same as you, the princess, and the eyebrows and eyes are similar to Your Highness." ”
Lan Yi stretched out his hand forward, "You hug?" ”
The water chestnut was happy in his heart, and in response to "hey", he stretched out his hand to take it carefully, but Xiao Ronghuan was only familiar with the nurse and mother, and at most he knew his father and Ning Fu, and he was about to cry when he was picked up by a stranger for the first time.
Water chestnut was a little flustered, Lan Yi hurriedly smiled and comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Rong Huan will still be close to you in the future, let her adapt first." Then she gently patted the swaddling clothes and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is a water chestnut, in the future, you have to call her 'Mama', Xiao Ronghuan, Mama water chestnut is the most kind person in the world, and you must honor her in the future." ”
Blood is thicker than water, and her mother's words have magical power, which gradually calms Rong Huan's restlessness, her eyes roll drippingly, and when she sees the water chestnut, she grins again and smiles stupidly.
Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This girl has a big heart, you see, after such a while, she is already willing to stay in your arms." ”
The water chestnut should have laughed, but at that moment, he couldn't control it somehow, so he choked up.
Lan Yi glanced at her, and both of them understood that it had been the queen's wish for many years to hold her granddaughter like this, and it would never come true after all.
But people will not always indulge in the sadness of the past, Rong Huan is really cute, after the water chestnut came, he was busy for her, and gradually put the master in the deepest part of his heart, and no longer took the initiative to mention it.
Seven or eight days later, it was the beginning of December, and Lan Yite brought water chestnuts to see Mama Wan and Yu Tao.
Since the accident before the fight, they have been imprisoned in two side-by-side huts, guarded outside, and food can only be delivered through a specially opened small window, Lan Yi said, if they want to kill themselves, let them go, but obviously, they are all people who spare their lives, even if they fall to this point, they will never choose to end themselves.
The water chestnut had already learned the inside story from Ning Fu's mouth, and naturally hated these two scourges, and when he saw Yu Tao, he couldn't help but go up and slap his mouth five times.
In the crisp voice, Yu Tao's cheeks were high and swollen, accompanied by a few screams, Lan Yi looked at it carefully, but he was not very hungry and thin, no matter how good or bad his daily food was, it was estimated that he was stuffed into his mouth in one go, but he had not seen the sun for two or three months and was depressed, and his expression was a little trance.
Of course, the next moment she began to cry, crawled over with her hands and feet, pulled Lan Yi's trouser leg and said: "Princess, princess, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and maid are really blinded by lard, and let go of such a good life, but it will hurt you, these slaps are light, if you look at it more comfortable, the slave maid will ...... her own palm."
Lan Yi squatted down and looked directly into her eyes, "What's the panic, I came here this time to tell you, don't be in a hurry to die, there will be a family banquet in the palace after a while, you can attend with me, if you behave well, I will give you a way out." ”
Yu Tao didn't expect such a good thing, and she didn't know where to put her hand, "Really? It's true? ”
Lan Yi got up, "Believe it or not, it's up to you whether you want to prepare well or not." ”
Yu Tao's eyes sprouted a light of hope, "Slave and maid prepare, what you ask the slave to do, the slave and maid will do!" ”
Lan Yi nodded with satisfaction and left with the water chestnut.
And when it came to Mama Wan's side, Lan Yi's rhetoric was completely different, Mama Wan was stunned for a while, and was not worried about whether she would die, but only asked: "The little grandson of the slave ......"
Lan Yi smiled lightly: "I have asked His Highness to find another place for them to live, although it may be difficult to enter the capital in this life, but his life is saved, your little grandson is very cute, and asked the person I sent, whether his grandmother eats well and sleeps well." ”
Mama Wan was in tears, she was willing to help Concubine Ying do things for the sake of her family, and she made a lot of money, but now it is also for the sake of her family, and she has to agree to what Lan Yi commands.
Coming out of the house, the air outside was much fresher, Lan Yi took a few deep breaths and asked, "Water chestnut, do you think I'm like this, will I be too ruthless?" ”
Water chestnut shook his head, "Don't be ruthless, if the queen mother has half of your means, she won't leave with regrets." ”
Lan Yi said bluntly: "In the future, in this Gongwang Mansion, in addition to Ning Fu Ruihua, I am most at ease with you, they are young and ignorant, so I have to let you take care of them more, I am afraid that you will think that I am too vicious, and when the time comes, I will be seen as a joke of discord between us." ”
Now that Princess Gong's bearing is becoming more and more not to be underestimated, the water chestnut hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the slave knows very well in her heart, if you are not ruthless, others will be more and more able to bully us, just for the sake of the little county lord, you must also be tough." After a pause, she said, "If you can, the slave is willing to help the princess do this." ”
Lan Yi brought her here because of such a big event, especially if she had to be ruthless, Ning Fu couldn't do it, only the old and capable water chestnut could do it, and immediately said: "Then it's troublesome for you." ”
There was such a kindness between the master and the servant, and Concubine Ying didn't do anything, and Prince Gong's Mansion had a while of calm. Wei Changjue comes back every day, first look at Lan Yi, and then hug his daughter, Rong Huan likes his father and loves to laugh, every time Wei Changjue sees her face, his heart melts.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, because the death of the empress was embarrassing for the past three months, the banquet in the palace was very small, compared to previous years, ministers and their families entered the palace to celebrate the New Year, this year it was just the concubines and children in the palace who gathered.
Lan Yi really did as she said before, took Wan Mama and Yu Tao into the palace, accompanied by water chestnut Ningfu, because there are little dolls in Gong Wang's Mansion, this time bring more people, others will not feel that there is any problem, and it is dark early in winter, and the palace gate can't see anything at all, so I will let it go directly.
So Yu Tao, who was sloppy, was ignored by everyone like this, and Mama Wan clinged to her closely, reminding her not to make trouble from time to time, and when she arrived at the banquet, there was nothing wrong at all.
The palace has just done such a big white thing, and everyone's interest is very little, especially Concubine Ke, who directly said that she was sick and did not attend, but some people said that Concubine Ke was reluctant to come over because of Queen Daxing's filial piety.
But Concubine Ying is now the master of the harem, thinking about Queen Daxing, which is equivalent to not being able to get along with her, Concubine Ke has been suppressed and blinded these days, but the woman who has always been weak and let her live alone in the palace has resisted everything alone, and only blindly worked hard for what she insisted on in her heart.
Concubine Ying was embarrassed a few times, and when she saw that she didn't say a word, it was really boring, and then she only suppressed it when she thought about it occasionally, and the rest of the time was spent on the emperor.
Speaking of the emperor's time of life, it is also very comfortable, although the queen's words before her death gave him a lot of shock and grief, but the king of a country is the king of a country in the end, so many things in the court and politics have not been innocent, there is really no time to mourn, not to mention that after the death of the queen, Ying Guifei became more and more careless, coaxing him to be satisfied every day, in just a few months, that guilt was diluted.
Water chestnut watched the emperor and Concubine Ying beside him keep whispering, with a gentle smile on his face, and in addition to being cold, he also had a little resentment towards his master - why did he refuse to lower his body and say some beautiful love words before he died, so that the emperor would never forget her for the rest of his life? Why don't you think of paving the way for His Royal Highness King Gong, even if it is to mention His Royal Highness's filial piety and ability, it's good!
Water chestnut knows her master too well, just by looking at her expression, she knows that at the moment she left, she didn't suffer a little grievance, she still said what was in her heart, and she was not sure how ruthless.
Sighing slightly, she bent down to fill the tea cup in front of Lan Yi, and silently muttered in her heart, if the master knows about the spring, he must bless His Royal Highness and the princess smoothly.
And said that the banquet was opened, after Ying Guifei carried the harem concubines and saluted the emperor, the atmosphere gradually became lively, Wei Changze has been jumping up and down recently, and there is his shadow everywhere, and this time is no exception.
