Chapter Forty-Six: Heaven and Earth Are Great and Unrelated
"The concubine understands, how many people in this palace can really come to mourn? The sisters who came didn't forget to talk about Shanghua Jieyu a few times. In fact, most of them don't care about their concubines out of affection, but they are afraid that one day this bad luck will also come to their own heads. Meng Jieyu smiled coldly: "It's the concubine Niangniang, when she sent Miss Lingyin to deliver things that day, she also brought a food box to send food to the concubine, saying that the concubine Niangniang was afraid that the concubine would be busy and hungry, so she specially advised." ”
"The concubine has a heart." Li Yizhe narrowed his eyes, "Meng Jieyu has always said good things about the concubine." ”
Meng Jieyu knew that Li Yizhe was suspicious, and she was afraid that she was not suspicious of anything when she said this, but she laughed and replied: "The concubine has no sister in the family, so she has to have such a daughter as the concubine." When the concubine was young, she went to the Protector's Mansion, and saw the queen holding the concubine Niangniang, who was still young at the time, peeled pine nuts for the concubine Niangniang to eat, and the concubine Niangniang carefully peeled off the pine nut skin and ate it and stuffed it back into the queen's mouth. The concubine looked at the sisterhood between the two of them, and was very envious in her heart. It would be great if the concubine also had a sister as beautiful and sensible as the concubine. However, after all these years, the concubine Niangniang is still as considerate as when she was a child. ”
"It's a pity she's never considerate."
"Your Majesty said that." Meng Jieyu pushed a plate of dim sum to Li Yizhe, "If you want the concubine to tell you, this is where the character of the concubine is valuable." ”
"Oh?" Li Yizhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Jieyu.
"When the queen was alive, she loved Her Majesty very much, and everyone knew it. The concubine and the queen have a deep sisterhood, and they know how the queen loves you, and now that you are in the palace, you spoil her like that, and the concubine will inevitably feel that she has robbed her sister's lover. The mother is benevolent and filial, and she refuses to live up to her deceased sister to treat His Majesty like this. ”
"What do you think I should do?" Li Yizhe asked her.
"How can concubines take care of this kind of thing? The concubine came up with an idea and didn't work for it, and His Majesty blamed it, and if it worked, the mother knew that she blamed His Majesty for not being willing to work hard, and she still wanted to blame Your Majesty. The gift of the monarch and the minister is occasionally a headache, but the trouble between young couples is also a kind of boudoir fun. What does Your Majesty think? Meng Jieyu said with a smile.
"That's just as well." Li Yizhe's face looked better, "You have never asked me for anything over the years, but I will never miss you if I should give it." I made a decree yesterday and then posthumously crowned Meng Jue as the general of the second rank of Sinan, and repaired the tomb with the gift of the king of the county. What do you think? If you feel that you can, then the will will go down. A few days ago, another big war at the front was delayed, otherwise it should have been ordered earlier. ”
"Your Majesty has already posthumously crowned Xiao Jue once before, and when you chase the vassals and concubines again, I am always afraid that Xiao Jue's virtue is not worthy of this honor. Moreover, the concubine's mother's family is already very honorable, as long as you get a little reward from Your Majesty, it is enough. Why do you need such a big show. Meng Jieyu refused, "The concubine is in the harem and has never given birth to a son and a half daughter for His Majesty, and she is already very frightened. I don't dare to seek fame and fortune for my family. And the concubine's mother's family is a relative after all, how can she be rewarded by His Majesty again and again? ”
"In this case, I will say to the Ministry of Rites, and I will only give you another wealth and silk, and repair the tomb for your brother." Li Yizhe nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Jieyu hurriedly knelt down and thanked her.
"No thanks, this is what your family deserves." Li Yizhe helped Meng Jieyu up, "It's very rare for you to have this heart to worry about me." Unlike some people who are spoiled, and some people stir up the harem as soon as they enter the palace. Now that you have been in the palace for the longest time, you should also remind them. ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty's attention, the concubine will definitely assist the concubine Niangniang to manage the harem." Meng Jieyu blessed her body.
"So much for the best. Lin Gonggong. ”
"The old slave is here."
"It just so happened that Meng Jieyu arrived, so you announced the holy decree." Li Yizhe picked up the soup bowl and took a sip.
"Yes." Gonggong Lin took the holy decree from Li Yizhe's desk and read it out: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor said." Jieyu Meng's character is uniform, dignified and steady, soft and good-natured, since entering the palace, the six palaces have been harmonious, so that the six palaces are healthy, and I can share worries for me, so that I can be at ease in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Very meritorious, now Jin Zhaoyi, to show praise. Chin this. ”
Meng Jieyu didn't expect Li Yizhe to directly promote her to the head of the nine concubines, in addition to the queen, the concubine, the four concubines and the head of the nine concubines, Zhaoyi can be called the mother and call herself the palace. The rest can only be called titles. This promotion is not small. Meng Jieyu hurriedly knelt down and thanked her: "Concubine Xie Lord Longen." In the future, we will be more diligent and live up to Your Majesty's expectations. ”
"Zhaoyi Niangniang, take it quickly, the canonized golden book and golden seal will be sent to your palace later." Gonggong Lin handed over the holy decree to Meng Zhaoyi.
"Get up, I still have an excerpt to criticize. You think you're tired these days, so take a good rest for a few days. In two days, I will go to your palace and dine with you. Li Yizhe spread out a fold and pinched his eyebrows.
Meng Jieyu thanked her and withdrew. Yu'er was still kneeling at the door, Meng Jieyu had just been promoted from Jieyu to Zhaoyi, and she was still a little unaccustomed to this title, so she glanced at Yu'er and was about to leave.
Yu'er hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Meng Jieyu's clothes, "Meng Jieyu, the slave begs you, you help the slave and the maid speak, the slave and the maid really have something urgent to see Your Majesty!" ”
Meng Jieyu, no, it's Meng Zhaoyi now. Mingcai, the personal palace maid behind Meng Zhaoyi, hurriedly pulled her away: "Presumptuous, the corners of Zhaoyi's mother's clothes are also what you can drag?" If you have any urgent matters, you should think of your own thoughts, Your Majesty doesn't want to see you if you don't see you, why are you so messing around? ”
Yu'er was stunned, how could Meng Jieyu be promoted to Meng Zhaoyi now? The nine concubines are full of the following are all good to be promoted, but Zhaoyi is the head of the nine concubines, how can Meng Jieyu be promoted to Zhaoyi all of a sudden?
"What a rude minion. is really a person raised by Hua Jieyu. Mingcai frowned.
"What's the urgency for you?" Meng Zhaoyi didn't want to be too harsh on a little palace maid.
"Yes...... It's Hua Jieyu who is sick. Yu'er was a little uncertain in her heart, and replied stubbornly.
"I know, the palace will send someone to the Tai Hospital to ask Sun Yuan to go to see Hua Jieyu, Your Majesty is busy with state affairs these days, and these little things don't have to be in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty is not a doctor, what is the use of Hua Jieyu coming to ask Your Majesty when she is sick? Meng Zhaoyi was a little unhappy, she naturally knew what tricks Jiang Yueshu was playing, and the illness may not be a real illness, "In a few days, the Dragon Boat Festival will definitely hold a family banquet, although there is a war now, everything is simple, but she will not be stingy with Hua Jieyu's good food and good food." Let her be relieved too. Take good care of your body, and don't get sick at the family dinner. ”
"What the mother taught me is that the slave maid is also anxious." Meng Zhaoyi has said everything about this, if she is still entangled, she will really end up, and now Hua Jieyu's situation must not be left behind, "The slave and maid retired." ”
Meng Zhaoyi ignored her and left.
Mingcai asked in a low voice, "Does Niangniang really want Hua Jieyu to go to the family banquet?" ”
"You can't really detain her for the rest of your life, right? Now there are always one or two old subordinates of Xuanwu Hou on the front line, although it is not an important position, but it cannot be underestimated. The Jiang family has been a lord for three generations, and this generation of Hou Ye is a capable man, and he also married a good lady like the Tang family, who knew that it was planted in the hands of the Qu family. Although he has lost his sacred heart now, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and His Majesty cannot be too contemptuous. You still have to give a little face. Meng Zhaoyi sighed, "Now because of Xiao Jue's death, she has been given an ominous name, and no one has said anything when she is locked up, but she is not allowed to go to the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Your Majesty to make Your Majesty mean?" Let her go. It's only been half a month and I'm so anxious, I can't do anything. ”
"Don't be sad, it's still early, do you want to go see the concubine?"
"Let's go, the concubine Niangniang only worshiped the deceased sister yesterday, and I think that my mood is no better than mine now, but I'm afraid it's even more uncomfortable. After so many years, the body has not been seen back then, and now there is only a tombstone left for her, how can she stand it? Meng Zhaoyi sighed, "Poor girl, married into the royal family and stared at by so many eyes. If I don't protect her, who will protect her? If she has anything, how can I explain it to Sister Jiu? Don't say this, my own conscience can't get over it. She was afraid that she would not remember when she was young, but I still remember how sweet Sister Meng screamed. Even because of those voices back then, my sister should have been good to her. ”
"Niangniang is pure-hearted, but which one in this harem is good to get along with? I'm afraid that everyone can't wait to eat the concubine Niangniang. Back then, he treated Niangniang favorably and saved Niangniang from Wei's hands, this kindness is not enough, and she should also return her sister. Mingcai sighed.
"Well, let's go back and get the pot of chicken soup I made in the kitchenette myself. I thought she should have cried so much yesterday, and I deliberately added radish stew to be soft and glutinous. Meng Zhaoyi laughed at this time.
"Mother is really eccentric." Mingcai whispered to Meng Zhaoyi's ear, "The soup that Your Majesty drank was ordered to be cooked by the cook, and the concubine Niangniang drank it was made by the lady herself." Be careful not to let Your Majesty know. ”
"Less mouthful. Your Majesty's status is precious, and my little cooking skills are not looking for scolding when I come to Your Majesty. For the concubine, it means that the Tao is not so important. ”
"What else does the mother say? The slave maid secretly tasted it, and it was clear that the mother's pot was delicious. Mingcai chuckled quietly.
"Hungry girl, go get the soup." Meng Zhaoyi slapped her lightly.
"Yes, sissy." Mingcai laughed at her.
Meng Yu's news of sealing Zhaoyi from Jieyu to Jin quickly spread all over the world, and other people have been used to it over the years, Meng Jieyu is proper, and it is only a matter of time before Zhaoyi is sealed, after all, the identity is also there. Jiang Yueshu's face was a lot gloomy.
Meng Zhaoyi naturally knew that this matter would spread quickly, and she didn't bother to think about it. Li Yizhe issued a holy decree to tell the concubines of the six palaces not to bother Ruoyan if they are fine, so Ruoyan's palace will become the purest refuge.
She smiled bitterly, her soup was cooked in time.
When the master and servant took the soup and entered the main gate of Jiaofang Palace, Ruoyan happened to have just gotten up, and she still didn't sleep very well, so she was inevitably in a bad mood.
When Meng Zhaoyi entered, what she saw was Ruoyan sitting at the table with an unhappy face, being coaxed by Xue Ying and Ling Yin to eat in turn.
