Chapter 1 New Life
In 1906, the thirty-second year of Guangxu.
Ning Yi was lying on the low collapse by the window, the dappled sunlight shone on her body, Ning Yi closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, and a blush appeared on her pale face.
"Gege."
She heard the voice, opened her eyes, and saw her maid Qiulu walking in through the door.
"What's wrong?"
Qiu Lu was very distressed when she saw Ning Yi's pale little face of the jade carving, "There is someone from the courtyard of Fujin, saying that they are looking for you to go ahead." ”
"Is something wrong?" Ning Yi frowned slightly, looking even weaker.
Today is the day of the full moon of the little brother, but she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and before the autumn turned cool in the past two days, she suffered from the cold, so she and her sister-in-law asked for instructions to stay in her yard to rest, why did she suddenly call herself to the front again?
"Is there any special guest?"
Qiu Lu nodded, and her voice unconsciously lightened a lot in her own gentle gaze, "I heard that the Queen Mother is coming." "Although Gege is not very old, the children of the royal family have always been precocious, and he never dared to coax Gege as a child.
"The Queen Mother?" This really surprised Ning Yi, although the elder brother, as the emperor's younger brother and the queen mother's nephew, was already a Hongqi Manchu at a young age, a super-grade prince, a first-class member, and now the eldest son is full of moon, it is indeed a great joy, and today there are many royal relatives in the capital, but this time it actually alarmed the queen mother?
Although she was surprised, she couldn't hide in this courtyard anyway.
Replacing a simple regular dress with a pink flag dress embroidered with lotus flowers is not rude or eye-catching.
Then I walked to the main courtyard.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, her fourth sister-in-law, Guerjia, was sitting in the main seat, talking to the ladies and ladies sitting below. She wore a red peony gold silk hooked flag suit, her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, she carefully held a baby in her arms, and her hands with armor brushed over the child's face from time to time.
Today is the first full moon banquet of the elder brother in the Alcohol Prince's Mansion, and the most proud is naturally Ning Yi's fourth sister-in-law.
Don't look at how well she is married now, except for those young ladies present, the slightly older ones all know that Ning Yi's brother and the current Prince of Alcohol do not like her, but another girl with an ordinary family background, this is still given by the prince's biological mother, Liu Jia's concubine, but the current queen mother blatantly ruined the established marriage contract in order to tie up the two families.
Liu Jiashi was so angry that he almost went insane, and cursed Cixi thousands of times behind his back, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak on the surface. The prince is naturally dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's approach, but the Queen Mother's marriage is a great honor, and there is no reason to refuse or thank you. Therefore, he married the Guerjia clan and entered the door.
I am not the wife and daughter-in-law that my husband and mother-in-law want, and I have nothing to do after I married in four years, and the Guerjia clan is beautiful on the surface, but in private it is full of pain, and I have no confidence to speak in front of my subordinates.
Today, I finally raised my eyebrows, and my face was much better than before I gave birth.
Seeing Ning Yi come in, Guerjia handed the little brother to the nurse in the back, and beckoned to her with a smile, "Ning Yi is here, come quickly." ”
Ning Yi walked over and blessed his body, please be safe.
Guerjia leaned forward, quickly clasped her two hands, and said with concern, "Don't be polite, your body is okay?" ”
Ning Yi smiled obediently, "Fourth sister-in-law Xie cares, Ning Yi is fine." ”
Guerjia was very satisfied with her sensibility, and patted her hand gently, "That's good, the problems brought out in your womb should be taken care of in normal times, and if you lack anything, tell your sister-in-law, sister-in-law can't take care of you these days, don't blame your sister-in-law." ”
Ning Yi listened to her words, naturally didn't dare, and then expressed her closeness.
Those ladies on the side, Fu Jin, naturally agreed, Kua Ningyi was sensible and well-behaved, and Kua Fu Jin was kind.
Then someone pulled the topic to the little brother.
Ning Yi stood quietly to the side, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
The main courtyard is lively and happy.
Ning Yi's fourth sister-in-law, Guerjia, is the daughter of Rong Lu, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the adopted daughter of the current Queen Mother.
Fortunately, although this sister-in-law is not a gentle and generous housewife, she also takes care of this backyard without wind and waves, and she is not very close to Ning Yi, the sister-in-law, and she is not stingy to send it to her.
The Guerjia clan is obviously in a good mood today, and she who gave birth to her eldest son can be said to have unloaded her burden. She also knew that her relationship with Prince Alcohol was the current queen mother's contribution in the middle, and the prince actually didn't like him much as a wife, and he only respected her. But that's enough for her, who outside doesn't envy her for marrying Prince Alcohol, who is already the leader of the court at a young age.
At this time, someone from the outer courtyard came to spread the word.
Gualga stopped talking and looked out the door.
The person who came was Prince Alcohol's retinue Xiaofuzi.
Xiao Fuzi came in and played a swing, and said with a smile, "Fujin auspicious, the former master said that the time is almost up, let you take the little brother to the front yard to wait for the holy car." ”
Holy drive? The emperor is coming too? The smile on Guerjia's face was a lot more sincere, the arrival of the Queen Mother was a big event, but when the emperor came, it was a different statement.
On the other hand, the strange feeling in Ning Yi's heart came to her heart again, a brother's full moon banquet was just a full moon banquet, and the two most noble people in the Forbidden City actually came?
Ning Yi followed to the front yard, where her brother, now Prince Alcohol, was greeting guests.
The main hall is a group of friendly gossip chats, and compliments and flowers are indispensable.
Prince Zaifeng is usually silent, but on this festive day, he also said a few more words, and his face was happy.
Halfway through his words, when he saw his Fujin and his younger sister coming, he took a few steps forward to greet him, "Here." ”
Although Prince Alcohol is only of medium stature, he has a delicate appearance, bright eyes, firm lips, and a straight waist, revealing nobility.
The female dependents who followed behind leaned over and said good luck.
Prince Alcohol took Fujin and Ning Yi each a hand, and said to the Guerjia clan, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Fu Jin lowered his eyes shyly and said softly, "Ye has seen the outside." The flush couldn't even cover the rouge on his face.
The guests on the side all let out a good-natured laugh when they saw this.
The end is a piece of the meaning of the guest and the host.
Prince Alcohol noticed Ning Yi and saw her pale face, "Ping'an, how is your health?" ”
