Chapter 42: A Life
Not long after Ling Anfeng left, an uninvited guest came to visit. Su Xiaoxiao was learning to prune flowers and branches with a few little eunuchs in the courtyard, and the elegant and sweet female voice sounded in her ears.
"Su Gui is so elegant."
Su Xiaoxiao heard the voice, followed the direction of the sound, and saw a delicate woman standing by the door, followed by the girl and the slave.
Although she was dressed extremely elegantly and quietly, Su Xiaoxiao could still see that this woman must have a certain status in this palace. Because of the headdress, the shoes, and the swaggering expression of the girl behind her.
"Who is this?" Since people were reluctant to introduce themselves, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to ask herself, after all, she didn't know who she was, so she couldn't just salute casually.
"This is Concubine An of His Highness the Wind, you don't know this, how can you enter the main hall of our Highness the Wind?" The first sentence is loudly introduced, and the second sentence is muttered in a small voice. However, it is small enough to be heard by the people around you.
Such a sharp and unfriendly little girl, she must have come from watching her master's thoughts, right?
I leaned sideways, bent down and saluted, "Little greetings to Concubine An." Su Xiaoxiao saluted, stood up, handed the big scissors in his hand to Rui'er's hand, took the Juanzi handed by the slave next to him, and wiped his hands.
"Su Gui likes flowers and plants very much." Concubine An, who looked as gentle as water and as indifferent as a fairy, spoke.
Su Xiaoxiao was very uncomfortable in her heart, it turned out that she already had a concubine, so what else did she have to do? Ling Anfeng, it turns out that he already has his own woman. It's funny, I thought it was the only one.
"Don't you like Concubine An?" Su Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically.
Rui'er, who was behind her, ordered someone to bring two chairs, put them in the courtyard, and then brought the table and put some food on them. Su Xiaoxiao still knows a little bit of rules, if the woman doesn't sit down, she can only accompany her.
Concubine An was not in a hurry to sit down, and the fat tree in Su's small courtyard walked casually and watched, "Sister, is this a lilac?" The aroma is charming. Concubine An's smile was very sweet, everyone looked beautiful, and even the tone of her voice showed a different feeling.
"yes, lilacs." The more Su Xiaoxiao looked at this woman, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, how many such women did Ling Anfeng have? Will you send this away and get another one?
Concubine An folded a small lilac, held it in her hand, sat on the chair, and casually put the freshly picked flower on the table, "Sister, don't stand, sit down." ”
Su Xiaoxiao sat obediently on the side, and wanted to speak loudly in her heart, "Grandma's, this is my place, how can it be like your home." "But when you think about it, you still can't say it.
"Woman, just like this flower, it is broken, the fragrance is strong, it was once beautiful, when the time comes, it will still wither, there will always be a wither, and then it will be replaced by new flower branches." Concubine An looked at her broken flowers and sighed with emotion.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't see who this emotion was directed at, but she didn't dare to agree with such a statement. "Sister Concubine An, it's serious. In fact, it is not as you think, although the flower is broken, but if the person who loves the flower really loves the flower, it will be kept alive, and the flower can be pressed into a specimen, or it can be made into tea, as long as the flower is there, the aroma must be there, but the way of release is no longer the same. ”
Concubine An listened to Su Xiaoxiao's words, raised her eyes and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, looking up and down, as if this was the real look at Su Xiaoxiao from the beginning of entering the door.
Su Xiaoxiao was uncomfortable when she was looked at, and turned her head sideways, and Concubine An moved her eyes back, "What my sister said is also right, but the women in this harem may not insist on such remarks in the future." ”
Su Xiaoxiao could see the strange light flashing in Concubine An's eyes, could it be that she was no longer favored? Still is? Anyway, Ling Anfeng, the man, really has a lower position in Su Xiaoxin's heart.
"Su Gui, if you want to become the concubine of His Royal Highness Feng, you can't just be canonized, there is still a long way to go in the future, you can do it yourself." Concubine An seemed to be a little excited when she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't understand, but she couldn't ask more, so she glanced at Rui'er, and Rui'er followed and sent Concubine An out clearly.
When Rui'er came back, it was almost dark, and Su Xiaoxiao was studying drugs to make you more sleepy in the room, when she heard a small voice outside the door, "Miss, I'm back." ”
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly replied, "Come in." ”
Rui'er pushed open the door and quickly walked to Su Xiaoxiao's side, "Miss, I inquired for an afternoon, used some silver, and finally asked for something." ”
"Well, tell me, what's going on?" Su Xiaoxiao was already impatient to wait, looked at Rui'er with a good look, and hurriedly asked.
"There are a total of five concubines under His Royal Highness Feng, but they are all side concubines, and only the young lady is the future concubine." Rui'er tried her best to pick something nice, after all, she couldn't make her miss uncomfortable.
"And then?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"These five side concubines are now the most favored is the fifth concubine, called Concubine Rong. Among the five princes and concubines, I heard that only the first one was called Murong and was the most loved by His Royal Highness, but two years ago, that concubine didn't know why she didn't know how to think about it, so she ......."
"What's it called?"
"I didn't ask it, those people were very strict-mouthed, and they only asked what was called Murong or something when they gave a lot of silver, and the others said that whoever mentioned it would be beheaded." Rui'er also looked helpless, of course she wanted to help ask more things.
"Also, Miss, I heard that Concubine Rong is very difficult to mess with, and several princes and concubines in His Royal Highness Feng's mansion are afraid of this woman, so you should be careful then." Rui'er reminded.
Ling Anfeng, there are so many favored princes and princesses, Su Xiaoxiao sat on the bed weakly, so why did the night brake have to be arranged like this? "Rui'er, you go out first, I'll stay by myself for a while."
"Miss, don't worry, I will continue to inquire."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled at Rui'er, patted her lightly on the shoulder, and didn't say anything. Rui'er went out and gently closed the door, Su Xiaoxiao sat on the bed and waited, she knew that Yesha would definitely come back.
In the middle of the night, they turned on, and the night wrath flashed in. Su Xiaoxiao sat down at the table and arrived at the cup of hot tea that had been prepared, "I knew you would come." ”
"You're a little tighter here." Ye Xue sat on the chair, took the tea bowl handed by Su Xiaoxiao, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and then took a sip.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. How dare I poison you, my life is still in your hands. Su Xiaoxiao sat opposite Yesha, and he had to ask some things clearly today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let Yesha leave.
"Night Evil, how many princes and concubines does Ling Anfeng have?"
Ye Sha raised his face from the tea bowl and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, the eyebrows under the mask were slightly pushed together, "These have nothing to do with you, you just need to make him fall in love with you." ”
"Why doesn't it matter?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Xiao angrily, there was more anger in her watery eyes, black and white, and she looked unusually cute, "These things are what I must know, otherwise how will I survive in their mansion in the future?" "Su Xiaoxiao has to investigate Ling Anfeng's situation no matter what method he uses, not for a better survival in the future, but to understand Ling Anfeng better.
Ye Sha put down the teacup and coughed lightly, "Ling Anfeng's residence was originally called Ling Feng Shop, but it was later changed by Ling Anfeng to Ling Xiang Palace, the purpose of which was to commemorate his original wife, Murong Tianxiang. ”
"Murong Tianxiang. What a nice name. Su Xiaoxiao listened, explained, and thought, "Then where did she go later?" Isn't it very beautiful? Su Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to know this. You can change the name of your residence, just for any woman, how attractive that woman is.
"Murong Tianxiang was originally the daughter of an official of my court, and she fell in love with Ling Anfeng at first sight, and then Ling Anfeng asked the Holy Lord to marry her as a concubine. Originally, the emperor did not allow it, but Ling Anfeng asked at all costs, and was finally agreed, but according to the regulations of the court, only the princes and princes can choose the main concubine when they reach a certain age, so Murong Tianxiang became Ling Anfeng's side concubine. ”
Ye Sha's mouth was dry, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly poured another cup of tea for Ye Sha, and arrived in front of him, waiting for Ye Sha to finish drinking.
"Later, the official embezzled and took bribes, and was ordered by the emperor to behead all the houses......"
Before Ye Sha's words were finished, he was stopped by Su Xiaoxiao and went back, "So Murong Tianxiang was also executed?" Su Xiaoxiao nervously clenched the handkerchief in his hand, lowered his head with wide eyes, deliberately avoided Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, and continued, "However, in order to keep Murong Tianxiang, the Murong family severed the father-daughter relationship with Murong Tianxiang, of course, this should be Ling Anfeng's doctrine. But later, Murong Tianxiang was depressed until one day when he left Ling Anfeng's mansion, and when he left, he didn't leave anything. ”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded gently, it turned out that this person was still in this world. It is said that there is true love in this world, whether there is any or not, Su Xiaoxiao really can't figure it out. If Ling Anfeng really loves that woman, then why should he marry someone else, since he loves that woman so much, why don't he find her back?
Ye Sha looked at Su Xiaoxiao's serious thinking, as if he didn't care about other things anymore, and fell into his boundless reverie. Nightshade continued.
"Ling Anfeng married a woman back to Lingxiang Hall last year, the woman was born beautiful and dignified, can sing and dance, and is deeply loved by Ling Anfeng.
