Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Wind Rises
The nurse shook her body lightly behind her and coaxed Mian Xin. The entire Cining Palace has always been so peaceful. Quietly, only the sound of even wheezing could be heard.
The Queen Mother said calmly: "There have been many things in the palace recently. From the new concubine, the clever nobleman. It seems that there is no one in this harem who can not be without a manager."
Yongyan was slightly stunned and said, "Huang Eniang. I don't have any plans for the time being."
The Queen Mother snorted lightly and coldly: "Although the mourning family is old. But the heart is not old. Since the queen Bintian, this harem has not had a day of peace. The emperor should think about it."
The Queen Mother consciously or unconsciously glanced at the concubine. Ruguifei leisurely picked up the cup, slowly took a sip of tea, and glanced at me lightly. A meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Walk on the way back to the palace. Fufeng held my palm and whispered, "Why are Niangniang's hands so cold."
I glanced faintly at the fallen leaves on the ground." I always had a bad premonition in my heart. But I can't say it."
Have a meal in the afternoon. Xiao Anzi came in to salute and said with a worried face: "Niangniang. The servants heard that the court today is also talking about this posthumous matter."
"What are the grown-up proposals?" I wiped my mouth and asked lightly.
Xiao Anzi glanced up at me. Said cautiously: "Back to Niangniang. I heard that Lord Shang Shuling of the Ministry of Etiquette. Lord Zuo of the military department. There is also Suncheon Fu Yin. It's my mother's house."
I felt a "thump" in my heart. The color of the face changed dramatically. I was stunned and said: Such a storm. Lord Fu Yin is also too confused.
"Niangniang's mind only understands. But even if Lord Fu Yin didn't propose it. The position of the queen is naturally thought of by others in their hearts. Now in this harem, except for Ru Guifei, it is Zhuang Guifei who has the highest position. But Concubine Zhuang has no family power. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhuang Guifei to compete for the back position. Next is Niangniang and Concubine Rong. Although Concubine Rong has some power in her family. But Concubine Rong has no heirs. So the most qualified ones are such as the concubine and the mother."
I understand what Xiao Anzi said. I already knew this situation. But I don't have the heart to fight for the next place. Suddenly, I remembered what the queen had told me when she was dying. She said that this position could not fall into the hands of Ru Guifei. Only I can stop her. Only I can help Mianning succeed in ascending to the top of the throne.
I got up and silently lit a stick of incense in the Buddhist hall. Since the birth of Mian Xin'an. The Buddha Hall is the place where I often come. Sandalwood into the nose. Gives off a faint aroma. In the white of my eyes, I closed my eyes and muttered, "The Believer Tang is blessed by the Bodhisattva to live safely to this day. But I pray that the Bodhisattva will bless the believer to be able to get out of the turmoil after this dispute. But the Queen's wish."
Fleur quietly came behind her and said, "Niangniang. The emperor allowed his wife to enter the palace. Madame has come."
I opened my eyes with joy. Got up and came to the inner room in a panic. I saw E-Niang stop in place with a look of anticipation." E-niang." I called out cordially.
Eniang is dressed in a royal blue flag suit. The face is also painted with a light makeup. But I still can't hide the old posture. Maybe it's because of entering the palace. So today's dress is extraordinarily grand.
Eniang's eyes that were originally looking forward to tears suddenly flashed: "Yujue."
After I pulled Eniang to sit down, Eniang touched my face affectionately. muttered, "It's okay. It's the same as when I first entered the palace. Nothing has changed. I haven't seen him for three years. E-niang is a lot older."
I hugged Eniang lightly: "Why did Eniang say that. E-niang will never get old."
Eniang sighed silently. As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. I didn't expect us to have a chance to meet. If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to the Seventh Elder Brother. I'm afraid I'll never see it again in my life."
The nurse happily hugged the seventh elder brother. E-Niang was pleasantly surprised. I took it from the nurse's arms and snuggled it carefully in my arms." Our Mian Zheng is really good. Call grandma. Huh."
Looking at Eniang's appearance, my heart was sour. She really thinks of me as her own daughter. Eniang didn't raise her head and said: "I remember that Yu Jue was very crying when she was a child. I won't stop coaxing."
I heard Eniang's words. I suddenly remembered that Jane Concubine. But how dare I open my mouth to tell E-Niang? Eniang held my hand tightly: "I feel very familiar with the appearance of Mianxi. This little face reminds me of Lu ......"
E-Niang knows that she is speechless. Hurriedly stopped his mouth. I took Eniang's hand and said, "Eniang. I'll take you to see a kid."
Concubine Zhuang led Xue Ci out of the palace and met me and Eniang. Xue Ci's pink little face shouted happily: "Concubine Jin. Where are you going?"
I pointed at Xue Ci and said to Eniang: "Eniang. Look at this, it's Xue Cigege."
E-Niang's eyes flickered suddenly. Then he grew up in surprise and said, "This Gege. How could it be so much like when she was a child?"
Xue Ci looked at Eniang obediently. Curiously looking at the person in front of him. Eniang hugged Xue Ci in her arms: "Child. Child. My child..."
Xue Ci sensibly patted Eniang, who was crying lowly. Xiaokou pouted and said, "Every time I cry, my mother will give me snacks to eat, so I won't cry. Then I'll give you some snacks to eat, and you won't cry, okay?"
E-niang wiped away her tears. I patted her hand and comforted her. Eniang slowly said to Xue Ci: "Okay. Good. Chattered. I'll give you a gift." Eniang took out a silver Ruyi longevity lock from the handkerchief on her sleeve. Worn on Xue Ci's neck.
I turned my face away and secretly wiped away a handful of tears. Eniang and Xueci's blood dissolved in water are attracted to each other. I think. This can be regarded as a little comfort for Concubine Jane.
E-Niang finally calmed down after her emotions. As if he had been instructed to say to me, "I listen to you, Amma. This is now the back of the harem is vacant. Asari began to have people proposing to stand up. E-Niang is worried about you."
I smiled faintly: "Eniang. Where did Yu Jue come from to be qualified to be a queen. It's just that. How could Amma, who is on the cusp of the storm, take the lead in proposing to stand up?"
E-Niang looked around and said in a low voice, "You Ama never let me ask about him. I also listened to the people in my family. In the past few days, you Ama have been very close to Gonghe of the military department.
My mind was racing. Isn't the Gonghe of the military department exactly like the noble concubine Amma. I almost blamed me and said, "E-niang. Amma is so confused. I have never been on good terms with the concubine. How could his father be so kind."
E-Niang has never understood the conspiracy and power techniques inside and outside the palace. I was stunned for a long time to hear me say that. I sighed and said, "Gonghe is just trying to get Ama to make up the book. In this way, the emperor will suspect the motives of Ama and me. Amma is too negligent to guard against such a low-level means."
E-Niang nodded as if she understood. I know. I'll go back and remind you of Amma. But if only he could listen."
I gently hugged my mother. With a smile: "Okay. Eniang. Let's not talk about these unhappy things when we don't see each other."
E-Niang chuckled and nodded. The daylight outside is just right. Sometimes I wish I could do this for a lifetime.
