Volume 1 The Wind and Snow Enter the Purple Terrace Chapter 102 Xie Yu
Out of the Heyi Palace, the oncoming wind blew, and the three of them all felt a cold sweat on their backs.
The little chamberlain who led them out of Ganquan Palace was still the one who guarded the palace gate before, Xu saw that Song Qingyi personally sent people out, but this attitude changed greatly, and there was a smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, although he was not flattering but he was also polite, because the underground hot spring waterways of Ganquan Palace were staggered, and it was the residence of the Queen Mother, and the cleaning was very diligent, so there was no frost on the road, and there was no need to remind the feet. When the little waiter sent them out of the palace, he introduced the flowers and trees along the way, and seemed to intentionally or unintentionally mention which kinds of flowers Zuo Zhaoyi and Ouyang liked, so the queen mother often ordered someone to cut them and give them when she saw them.
Ah Shan listened to a few words, quietly stuffed a purse with him, smiled and asked about the varieties that other concubines liked, the little chamberlain did not shirk the purse, put it into his sleeve and pinched it, felt that the amount was enough, and the smile on his face was much fuller, and he looked at no one on the left and right, and then whispered: "This aunt doesn't know——"
Before he said a word, Ah Shan had already sighed, showing a look of panic, and waved his hand and said, "Where can a slave be called an aunt?" The slave's name is Ah Shan, and the little father-in-law just calls a name! ”
"Aunt Ashan." The little chamberlain was polite, and said with a smile, "Why should my aunt be humble? Although we usually look at seniority in this palace, but it is just an ordinary palace person, my aunt is an old servant of Tsing Yi, who followed Tsing Yi into the palace, and now she has the blue eyes of the Queen Mother, and she will be blessed in the future, how can she not be an aunt? ”
Ah Shan also smiled at the corner of his eyes, and exchanged a few words of affectionate greetings with him, before he heard the little chamberlain say: "There are many nobles in the palace, but what is Ganquan Palace?" Even ordinary people who want to come over to ask for peace have to see if the Queen Mother is willing to pass it on, auntie, don't you say? ”
He made such a small temptation, and saw that Mu Biwei and the others were just smiling, so he continued to speak, "The Queen Mother likes to be pure, that is, the Six Palaces are visited, in addition to the celebration and sacrifice, the Queen Mother has never wanted nobles to come, and can come over at any time to ask for peace, and there are only Zuo Zhaoyi and the current Ning Hua Niangniang in the palace, as for the ...... I had to come more from Lie Rong Niangniang of Yan Nick Palace. ”
Cui Lierong, the lord of Yan Nick Palace, is also the daughter of the Yedu Wang family, although the Cui family is not as good as Qu and Gao, but it is not worse than the Shen family, compared to the Xu family who stood on the wrong side in the previous dynasty's struggle for the crown prince, and even better, otherwise the Cui family would not have been crowned a concubine as soon as she entered the palace. However, Cui Lierong has been unknown in the palace, after all, although she can't say bad about her family background, there are better Qu and Ouyang families on top, plus Cui's has not been favored for a few days, and the Yan Nick Palace where she lives is like Pingle Palace, which is far away from Jique and can be said to be a secluded palace, and even the people in the palace have never been too favored.
Ah Shan and Mu Biwei glanced at each other, so it is these three that the Empress Dowager Gao attaches the most importance to the harem concubines? Although it is not a girl without a prestigious family, such as the Xin family, who lives in Changxin Palace with the Fan woman who has fallen out of favor and the Si Imperial Girl, the Xin family is second to Shen and Xu, but it can also be regarded as an official eunuch's house, this Xin family is a concubine, and this fell to the concubine position, but the little chamberlain never mentioned her, I think it is because the Xin family is not only not much favored, but the Xin family is nothing in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Gao, right?
Thinking like this, both of them sighed - if Mu Bichuan really married He Sanniang...... It can't be said that the future is broken, but it is also a big loss, a wife, if the business is good, the help is not small!
It's just that no matter how many scheming methods they have, they are confined to the deep palace, and they are beyond the reach of the whip!
Thinking of this, Mu Biwei hated the Xu family more and more!
In this way, she and Bang Huan smiled and listened to Ah Shan and the little chamberlain talk left and right, and arrived in front of the gate of Ganquan Palace, and exchanged a few more words, and then slowly left along the palace road.
Seeing that there was already some distance away from Ganquan Palace, Ah Shan saw that there was no one left and right, so he hurriedly took a handkerchief and rubbed the scars on Mu Biwei's forehead, and whispered distressedly: "The girl is really suffering!" ”
"It's done, and there's always a price." Mu Biwei only cared about dealing with the Empress Dowager Gao, and she didn't dare to relax in the Ganquan Palace, she didn't feel anything at all, but Ah Shan didn't feel the pain until she rubbed it like this, and she couldn't help but hiss, and asked Ah Shan to stop first, and said cautiously, "Fang Cai only cares about persuading the Queen Mother, and when she knocks down, she is too hard, and now the wind and snow are crying outside, don't rub it and can't squeeze out the bruise in time, in case of a scar, it's not good!" ”
Ah Shan couldn't help but complain to her: "If the girl wants to kowtow next time, she will also take some measure, in fact, the slave and maid will look at the queen mother, who is also waiting for someone to use, those girls don't kowtow and don't worry, why do they have to suffer so much?" ”
"It makes a difference whether it's stumbling or not." Mu Biwei didn't care about the scruples, and sneered, "How can I say that I am also the daughter of the official eunuch family, and I can be regarded as the daughter of the family, but the Mu family has lost a little too badly - the Empress Dowager Gao pays attention to the family, and the last time Concubine Wen helped mention her father, so that the Empress Dowager Gao remembered my origin!" Anyway, my grandmother's reputation has always been good, and I have only mentioned my grandmother several times, just because the Empress Dowager Gao thinks that if the granddaughter taught by the daughter of the Shen family in Yedu did not enter the palace and only became a female official, she had to call herself a slave maid, and she was also a girl in the palm of her hand in the boudoir earlier! But this will kowtow vigorously in front of her, which shows that it is a dead end! In this way, my refuge will be more credible! ”
"Alas!" Ah Shan also knew that Mu Biwei did the right thing, and she brought it up, so she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she said, "Then go back to Fenghe Courtyard and get a hot handkerchief to rub it, if you can rub the blood away, you don't have to squeeze it out, otherwise no matter how careful you are in this cold weather, it will inevitably leave a scar, and if you don't squeeze it, if it suppurates and ulcerates in it, it will be even worse!" ”
He followed behind them without a sound, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Or Aunt Ah Shan is walking with Tsing Yi, and the slave maid goes back to them to boil water first, so that Tsing Yi will be ready as soon as he returns to the Wind Lotus Courtyard?" ”
"It's fine." Mu Biwei listened, nodded, but before she pulled her feet, she heard Mu Biwei follow slowly, "Fang Cai and those words in the palace ......"
Holding a shudder, he hurriedly said: "The slave must be tight-lipped like a bottle!" ”
"It's not that I want you to keep your mouth shut!" Mu Biwei smiled when she heard this, stretched out her hand and gently nodded a little on her eyebrows, and felt the coldness of her fingertips, as if a cold air went straight to her heart along the place she pointed, only to hear Mu Bi say slowly, "It's the Queen Mother who doesn't want you to talk too much...... If the words of the prince of Anping were spread and there was a gap between the brothers of the same mother, do you think the queen mother would be happy to see it? ”
"The slave didn't hear anything!" He came to his senses and hurriedly said, "The slave and maid have been standing outside the hall all this time!" ”
Mu Bi smiled: "The reason you think of yourself is that the Queen Mother didn't tell us, that is, the Queen Mother believes in the palace people and Concubine Wen of the Yi Palace, if this matter is spread outside, it will only fall on the three of us." ”
Seeing the robe go away, Ah Shan straightened Mu Biwei's cloak again, and then got down to business: "The Queen Mother didn't say anything about the girl being promoted to a palace concubine." ”
"Although Your Majesty has been accompanying Sun Guifei in the New Year's Hall for the past few days, it may not have forgotten me, we can think of this, the Queen Mother is naturally measured, and although the Queen Mother does not like Sun Guifei, she is not too satisfied with He Ronghua's background, but as we said before, if Zuo Zhaoyi, who is now protected by the Queen Mother everywhere, is favored like Sun Guifei, the Queen Mother should be anxious again - the Queen Mother wants to keep this to control me! Otherwise, based on my words, why did I cover up the calculations of the Ouyang clan and the fact that he insisted on staying in the palace? It's just because no matter how favored I am, I'm just a female official, and a soup can make me never turn over, is the Queen Mother still afraid that I won't be able to turn over any tricks? Mu Bi smiled and said, "Mother-in-law looks at the bride, there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory things, who said that none of the nobles in this palace have a high surname?" It's the Ouyang family, and she also glorified the Ouyang family first! ”
Ah Shan nodded and said: "Since the Queen Mother chose the Qu family as the queen, the Gao family girl entered the palace again, it was also under the people, the Gao family may not be willing, the Queen Mother was afraid of looking depressed, so she simply chose only one Ouyang family, although she is the niece of the Queen Mother, whether the surname is Gao or not, so it also makes the Qu family grateful for the Queen Mother's bearing, and the slave maid thinks that this is also because Zuo Zhaoyi is not good-looking, and the Queen Mother knows that she is difficult to be favored, and there is no need for another Gao family girl to enter the palace to consolidate the status of the Gao family. ”
"I'm afraid there are other reasons." Mu Biwei glanced at the direction of Anfu Palace, and said meaningfully, "That one we haven't had a chance to see so far, I heard that she is captivating the country and the city, and it is difficult to describe - you said that there is such a person in the palace, Your Majesty even dared to disobey the Queen Mother for her, the girls of the Qu and Gao families, the demeanor and demeanor are first-class, but when it comes to appearance, natural beauty, not everyone has a blessing, if there is no beauty comparable to the noble concubine, the dignified family, what to send into this palace?" Did Cui Lierong who was mentioned by the little chamberlain guard the palace for His Majesty? ”
"The girl said this." Although Ah Shan has something in his heart, he can't help but say handsomely, "Cui Lierong, who is a good child, told the girl to say as if she was guarding the palace." ”
The two were talking, but they saw a brown corner of clothes behind a snow-lined tree not far away, and they all stopped when they saw this, but they saw that a palace man wearing a homely six or seven percent of the new autumn fragrant emerald palace clothes and a fur coat walked out, first looked behind the two, and then beckoned to Mu Bi.
Mu Bi was slightly stunned, but heard the palace people greet softly: "Mu Qingyi doesn't have to be confused, the slave maid's surname is Jiemei, but she is waiting in front of Concubine Wen, and she knows that Tsing Yi must pass through this section of the way back to the Wind Lotus Courtyard, and she was ordered by Concubine Wen to wait here, in order to tell Tsing Yi a few words!" ”
Hearing the name of Concubine Wen, the doubts in the eyes of Mu Biwei and Ah Shan faded, and when they saw that the palace man who claimed to be Xie Yu only called Mu Biwei, Ah Shan would also be interested and stood still.
Mu Biwei followed Xie Yu to a secluded place in the forest behind the tree, Xie Yu stopped, turned around, smiled slightly and said: "Last time, the slave maid was standing not far from Concubine Wen, I think there were many people and events that day, and Tsing Yi never noticed the slave and maid." ”
"My aunt is a close attendant next to the concubine, I think her grade is higher than that of the slave maid, how dare the slave maid call my aunt so polite?" Mu Biwei really didn't notice Xie Yu when she first came to the Heyi Palace, but she also vaguely remembered that there was a person standing behind Concubine Wen that day, most of whom were close attendants, how could there be no grade? Now that she is the lowest level, even Xie Yu is also Tsing Yi, so she doesn't dare to be her slave.
