Chapter 236: Transaction
The woman in the palace relies on the greatest favor, not the emperor's favor, not her own appearance, nor her mother's family, of course, her son.
To have a son is to have everything.
For example, Concubine Rong, although she aged rapidly after the age of thirty, and the emperor never stayed in her palace again, but there were four princes, and she was still the second only nobleman in the palace after the queen.
Yan Qingge's words clearly implied that as long as Shui Ying gave birth to the prince's heir, there would be hope for the Shui family. Yan Qingge will help Shui Ying win the favor of the prince and let her give birth to an heir.
She knew that her time was short, and she also knew that although the prince was taking child-avoiding medicine now, she might not see the day when Shui Ying was pregnant. But since Yan Qingge promised to help Shui Ying, Shui Ying can get pregnant.
That's enough!
What's more, Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao are handkerchiefs and have a deep friendship. Thinking about it, she would not let Ling Xiao outside the palace go, and could help Ling Xiao and Shui Mu. After all, Yan Qingge was in the palace, but she couldn't live for too long, Yan Qingge asked her for help, that is, her days in the palace.
Concubine Shui nodded lightly, and said to Xia Fan, who had been listening to everything next to her, "You go back with Miss Yan, and you will serve by her side in the future." It stands to reason that the queen should also assign two aunts to Miss Yan, but you are surrounded by some little girls, what can you understand. Then, she turned her head and instructed Xia Fan: "Everything is important to Miss Yan, you will go to Zongzheng Mansion and pass the door, and record it in Miss Yan's name." ”
Concubine Shui's hand is really ruthless, and she directly registered Xia Fan under the roster of serving Yan Qingge, so that even if the queen has an opinion, she can't get rid of Xia Fan. This also shows from the side that Concubine Shui can easily ask the people of Zongzheng Mansion to change the roster, and there is definitely a lot of power there.
In addition, since she has passed the Zongzheng Mansion, even if Yan Qingge leaves the palace, Xia Fan will have to follow, because she will be Yan Qingge's palace maid in the future.
Concubine Shui did this, which was tantamount to indirectly handing over the ways she left in the palace to Yan Qing singers.
In an instant, Yan Qingge's admiration for Concubine Shui rose in his heart.
This woman is such a great character. She knew that Shui Ying was a person who loved to drill the horns of the bull, not to mention that she was by the side of the prince, and handed over Xia Fan to Shui Ying, not only did it not work, but she would beat the dog with meat buns, and there was no return.
Handing over Xia Fan to Yan Qingge was completely different.
First, even if Yan Qingge wanted to use Xia Fan, he had to weigh how much he had done for the Shui family, otherwise Xia Fan would not use too much strength to help her. Second, even if Yan Qingge leaves the palace, her sister-in-law, Princess Roufu, can often enter and leave the inner palace, even after the death of Concubine Shui, the relationship network she has worked hard to manage for a lifetime will not be broken in vain.
Concubine Shui was not in good spirits, and after saying this for a while, she was a little tired, waved her hand gently, and said, "I'm tired, your gift is very good, I accepted it." ”
Yan Qingge immediately knew that he would retire and walked out.
Outside the door, Tao Xi panted and ran over with Bi Ling, with a group of eunuchs holding things.
Seeing Yan Qingge coming out of the palace gate with Ruyi, a dark color flashed in Biling's eyes.
They were still late, and they didn't know what Yan Qingge and Concubine Shui said.
She glared at Taoxi's back fiercely, and as soon as the queen heard that Yan Qingge had gone to Concubine Shui, she immediately asked someone to pick out a few gifts, so that Biling could hurry up and catch up, and continue to monitor Yan Qingge under the pretext of giving Concubine Shui's birthday gift. But Taoxi stumbled over her, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely give a gift to Concubine Shui, and asked Biling to wait, so wait, the daylilies were all lit up.
Momo Xi was unaware of the fierce light coming from behind her.
Yan Qingge was in a very good mood, she smiled at Bi Ling and Tao Xi, knowing in her heart that these two must have fought openly and secretly, so she came so late, but she didn't know anything on her face, and only smiled and said: "Concubine Shui is tired, just rested." ”
To give a birthday gift to Concubine Shui, of course, you have to give it in person, but since the death of the Queen Mother, Concubine Shui has become the most senior person in the palace, of course they don't have the courage to call Concubine Shui to rest, so they can only wait for her to rest in Concubine Shui's palace.
With Ruyi, Yan Qingge was relaxed and returned to Fengzao Palace.
After Yan Qingge came to Fengzao Palace, he took the initiative to go out for the first time. Although she had been to Chuxiu Palace for a banquet and participated in a Shangyuan Festival meeting before, she didn't take the initiative to go, so her whereabouts were quickly informed to the queen by someone who cared about her.
Henna Joo couldn't be idle, and she didn't like to stay in the house, so she sat at the door with a stool almost every day, sitting and standing, chattering and talking to people who came and went. These days, her Da Zhou dialect has been a thousand miles a day, except for a little accent, it is no problem to communicate normally.
When she saw Yan Qingge, her eyes lit up, and she greeted: "Ah, Qingge, where have you been!" ”
As much as Yan Qingge dislikes Hainazhu, he dislikes it. Although she learned the Da Zhou dialect, her head was still full of styles and thoughts on the grassland, and she couldn't twist it.
She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her preaching to people that she wanted to marry Yan Xiuyu, in her opinion, a good man in the world should have many wives, and there was no respect or inferiority between these wives. Even if it's a sister, a mother and a daughter, it's no problem to marry the same man, let alone two strange women.
The two aunts who taught her secretly said many times about her thoughts, and even punished her for reciting the "Female Ring" and the "Four Books of Women", but it was useless. Because Hai Nazhu couldn't figure out what the Da Zhou text meant at all, even if her aunts explained, she listened to it and forgot about it in a blink of an eye.
It is undoubtedly a fantasy to let hennazhu learn the rules and interests of Da Zhou. How can a wolf be expected to learn to eat grass?
Yan Qingge maintained a polite smile and nodded, "I went to Concubine Shui." ”
"Who is Concubine Shui, is she having fun there? I went out for a walk in the Imperial Garden in the morning and met the Four Princes. The palace maids around me all say that the four princes are good-looking, but I still think that King Qiu is the best-looking. Henna Zhu said with honor.
Although Hai Nazhu was praising Yan Xiuyu, her tone was the same as praising her own things, which made Yan Qingge feel very uncomfortable, her face turned cold, and said, "I still have to go back to embroider, Miss Hai play slowly." ”
As soon as she heard that Yan Qingge wanted to embroider, Hai Nazhu didn't follow.
Although she likes the exquisite embroidery of the Great Zhou people, it is absolutely impossible to let her sit down and embroider, just holding the needle and sitting on the stool for two quarters of an hour, she will faint. She prefers the fresh air outside and the freedom to move around whenever she wants.
After returning to the house, it was rare to be quiet in the house, there was no Tao Xi and Bi Ling, and Ruyi was a lot more lively. She didn't know much about the scene that happened in the Water Concubine Palace today, and asked Yan Qingge: "Miss, why did the Water Concubine refuse to see you when she saw the Guanyin statue you embroidered?" Ruyi couldn't figure it out. ”
Yan Qingge said with a smile: "There are several painting scrolls hanging in the queen's bedroom, and there is a portrait of the emperor wearing armor when he was young. ”
Yan Qingge was fortunate enough to enter the queen's bedroom several times, but Ruyi was not qualified to enter the queen's bedroom. Ruyi had never seen that painting, but she was not stupid, and after contacting it back and forth, she immediately understood what Yan Qingge meant. The man on the painting embroidered by Yan Qingge is the emperor, and Guanyin must be the concubine of water.
She suddenly realized and praised: "Miss, your idea is so good! It turns out that you have been thinking about going to find the water concubine for a long time. At that time, I wondered why you had been embroidering this strange statue of Guanyin day and night. ”
Yan Qingge smiled slightly. Yes, she was thinking about taking the line of the water concubine. She endured it for many months, endured the surveillance of the queen and the crown prince, and accepted it, just because she thought that she would be able to leave the palace after Yan Xiuyu came back, it was only a few months, and there was no need to act rashly.
It's a pity that after Yan Xiuyu came back, the queen told her that she had no father or mother in her family, and she would raise her in the palace until next year, and marry directly from the palace, so she couldn't bear this life anymore. There was still more than a year to go, and so much had happened, and she had to take the initiative, which was why she had taken the trouble to embroider the statue of Guanyin.
Xia Fan went to Zongzheng Mansion to change his master, and did not directly follow Yan Qingge back. When she came to Fengzao Palace, it was already evening.
Because she is an old man in the palace, many people know Aunt Xia Fan. Seeing her, many palace maids and eunuchs from Fengzao Palace stepped forward one by one to salute. Xia smiled slightly, gave them the standard palace ceremony, and went all the way to where Yan Qingge lived.
Not long after, the queen got the news that Xia Fan had gone to Yan Qingge.
Today, in one day, there was first the matter of the prince forcibly suppressing her punishment of Yan Shuyu and not giving her the face to bring people back, and then it happened that Yan Qingge threw down the two palace maids and went to meet Concubine Shui, and now Concubine Shui's personal palace maid came to see Yan Qingge again.
Things happened one after another, one by one, which made the queen have a splitting headache.
She has been the queen smoothly for more than ten years, but since she came back from Qingzhou, many things have changed.
Several palace maids who were waiting for the queen quietly raised their eyes, watched the green tendons on the queen's head appear, gritted their teeth, and knew that the queen had no patience today.
After enduring it for a long time, the queen held the handkerchief and said, "Bring Aunt Xia Fan, and I'll talk to her." ”
Although she is the queen, she is the personal palace maid of Concubine Shui, and she still doesn't want to offend.
After a short time, Xia Fan entered the main hall of Fengzao Palace and saluted the queen on the high phoenix chair.
The queen looked at Xia Fan with a pleasant face, and instructed the palace maid: "Show Aunt Xia Fan tea." Auntie, I wonder when you came to Fengzao Palace? But today, Miss Yan quarreled with Concubine Shui to rest. ”
"Back to Niangniang, Miss Yan and Concubine Shui are close friends, and they sent a birthday gift to the concubine, Concubine Shui likes her very much, and gave me to Miss Yan, and will serve her in the future." Xia Fan's eyes look at the nose and nose and the heart, and he is neither humble nor arrogant. She served Yan Qingge, but she couldn't hold the fire, so she simply told the queen.
The Queen's eyes widened in disbelief as her long metal-encrusted gem-studded fake nails slammed together. The palace maid standing on her side could see that almost all the green tendons on the queen's head had burst out, which was a manifestation of the queen's extreme anger.
