Chapter 68
Song Xiyuan sighed in his heart, whether Gu Nanye and Princess Taixuan's heart knot can be opened depends on the secret relationship between Mrs. Gu and Emperor Yong, but how can they, the juniors, open their mouths to inquire?
Gu Nanye said that he wanted to check his life experience, and he didn't know where he started, so don't be self-defeating and hurt Mrs. Gu's heart.
Song Xiyuan sighed in his heart, and listened to Fan wading again: "I heard Mother Xin say that Mrs. once thought about matching Hou Ye and Princess Taixuan, but seeing that they are always at odds like this, I am afraid that the age difference is too big, and Hou Ye does not know how to take care of the little girl, so the princess has been wronged." ”
Song Xiyuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Madame has this idea, is it after knowing the identity of Princess Taixuan?" ”
Fan Washui was not sure, and said: "Madame has always liked the princess, I don't know when I started this thought, but I only talked about it a few years ago." ”
Song Xiyuan's face was already smiling, and he smashed his palm with a fan, feeling that this matter was very reliable!
After Mrs. Gu knew that Taixuan was the daughter of Emperor Yongdi, not only did she not let Gu Nanye keep a distance from Princess Taixuan, but also deliberately matched them, which is enough to show that there is no problem with Gu Nanye's background!
He had to tell Gu Nanye the good news!
With excitement in his heart, Fan Washui asked again: "Hou Ye went to the yamen again today?" Don't have a holiday yet? ”
Song Xiyuan said meaningfully: "Let it go, but he doesn't have to visit relatives and friends in Beijing, in order to facilitate the care of the princess, he is on duty in the palace, and he arranges it all by himself." ”
Fan Washui said with a smile: "In terms of doing it yourself, I'm afraid that there is no command who can compare to our Hou Ye." ”
Song Xiyuan also smiled: "Who said no, it's rare to even do the patrol in the palace by yourself." ”
There is a meaning in the laughter of the two, and they know each other, so they don't say much.
In the Zhongcui Palace of the East Sixth Palace, Concubine Xi stood in front of the door of the side hall and knocked on the door for a long time.
Since Li Mujin moved back from Cining Palace yesterday, he has been locking himself in his room and never opening the door.
Concubine Xi said outside: "Jin'er, don't compare with Princess Taixuan. Mother knows that you are not happy in your heart, but her mother is a noble concubine, she is already a head above us, and because she has been living abroad for many years, the emperor and the queen mother have the intention to compensate her, and there is a family like the Bai family to support her, we can't compare. ”
She sighed and instructed the palace maid, "Stay outside the door, and if the princess is hungry, bring the food hot and bring it in immediately." ”
She turned around and wanted to go back to the main hall, but she heard a report from her father-in-law: "Princess Taixuan is here." ”
Concubine Xi was a little surprised, and took the initiative to greet the gate of Zhongcui Palace, and saw a girl wearing a short jacket with abundant makeup, and walked over.
The two of them had met each other at the previous family banquet, so they naturally knew each other, and Qu Muge took the initiative to greet him: "Hello Concubine Xi." Taixuan came to Zhongcui Palace today to make amends for his mother's sins. ”
With that, Huanhuan brought the pastries he brought.
Concubine Xi was surprised: "Everyone knows that you don't go out easily, you are willing to come to my Zhongcui Palace to sit, I can't ask for it, and what do you say to make amends, princess, please come in." ”
Qu Muge walked into Zhong Cui Palace with Concubine Xi, and after sitting down for tea, Qu Muge said: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, I had a temper with Sister Zhen yesterday, and the Queen Mother punished us. ”
Concubine Xi was ashamed and said: "I heard the palace people say the original story, it was Zhen'er who bullied her sister, and she was all at fault, and I should make amends for Zhen'er." ”
Qu Muge looked at the side hall through the flower window and asked, "Sister Zhen'er hasn't lost her anger yet?" ”
"Where, I punished her for thinking about it behind closed doors." Xi Concubine said.
Qu Muge persuaded: "It's the New Year in two days, don't punish Concubine Xi too harshly, just say a few words, and be happy and happy during the New Year." Since my sister is thinking about it, I also asked my mother to bring my apologies, so I won't bother much. ”
Concubine Xi sent Qu Muge out of the palace, and Ying Gonggong kept sending Qu Muge outside the palace gate of Zhongcui Palace.
Qu Muge looked at his elderly father-in-law and said, "I'm not familiar with the East Sixth Palace, so let's give me two more steps." ”
Father-in-law Ying glanced at her quickly, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Yes, it is an honor for a slave to serve the princess." ”
Zhong Cui Palace is close to the imperial garden, and Ying Gonggong took the initiative to say: "The plum blossoms in the plum garden have bloomed, and it only snowed last night. ”
"Father-in-law Lao will lead the way."
Qu Muge, Ying Gonggong and Huanhuan walked to the plum garden in the imperial garden, Huanhuan spread the leather cushion in the pavilion, and asked Qu Muge to sit down.
Seeing that there was no one around, Qu Muge said: "My father-in-law is an old man in the palace, I first returned to the palace, I don't understand anything, I heard my grandfather say that you have some old friendship with him, and please take more care of me." ”
Father-in-law Ying said happily: "Princess Taixuan is polite!" Although the old slave only saw you today, I have already heard that you are especially loved by the emperor, princess, and you are favored by the emperor, so why do you need me to wait for the slave to have more hands and feet. ”
"My father-in-law is too modest, and my father can't control some small things, which is where my father-in-law is powerful. Just like yesterday, I had to offend Sister Zhen, and I was very worried. In the palace, it is not a good thing to have enemies. ”
Father-in-law Ying replied, "The slave understands what the princess means." ”
Qu Muge looked at the crystal clear plum branches around him and said, "My father-in-law has done a lifetime of serving people, do you have any thoughts and wishes in your heart?" I might be able to help. ”
Ying Gonggong said in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare, the slave hasn't served the princess yet, where is the face to speak, there is no such rule." ”
Qu Muge said: "I don't understand the rules of the palace, but when I was outside the palace, I knew that there was a reward for asking someone to do things, and I would not treat my father-in-law badly. ”
It was too cold outside, Qu Muge didn't want to sit more, got up and said, "You can't come out for too long, go back quickly." ”
After his father-in-law left, Qu Muge asked Huanhuan: "Concubine Zuo is still grounded in Liuqing Palace, right?" ”
Huanhuan nodded and said, "Do you want to go and see?" ”
Liuqing Palace is in the East Sixth Palace, not far from the Imperial Garden.
Qu Muge shook her head, she didn't want to find trouble: "I just wanted to ask, it seems that I haven't heard news from Zuo Guifei for a long time, it's a little strange that she is so peaceful." ”
A cold wind blew, Qu Muge shrunk his shoulders and put his hands in his sleeves: "It seems that it is going to snow again, let's go back quickly." ”
The two hurriedly walked back, and at the place where the Imperial Garden and the North Five Institute meet, they met an unexpected person.
"Mrs. Wei!" Qu Muge's eyes widened, looking at this middle-aged woman who had not been seen for half a year, but had changed beyond recognition.
Mrs. Wei wore a soap-colored cotton jacket, her hair was simply combed together, and her complexion was sallow, not at all as white and rich as before.
Mrs. Wei saw that she was a little flustered and cramped, but she still stood up and saluted: "The sinner woman greets the princess." ”
