Chapter 279: Adopted Daughter

What should be parted, will always be parted.

If you want to meet again, you will always meet again.

The fate of time is like this.

Although Yan Qingge didn't say it too clearly to Shui Ying, her leaving the palace couldn't be delayed for a moment.

Back at Fengzao Palace, Yan Qingge found Aunt Xia Fan and said, "Auntie, you can think about it, do you want to go out with me." ”

Xia Fan thought about it for a long time before she said to Yan Qingge: "Miss Yan, the concubine is old, and the old slave wants to accompany her." The old slave asked Mingxiu, and Mingxiu was willing to go out with the girl. ”

Yan Qingge was not reluctant, nodded and said, "Hmm! My aunt has lived in the palace all her life, and after she goes out, she will not get used to it. Besides, it would be cruel to ask you to leave the concubine. When things settle down on my side, you can go back. ”

Xia Fan looked at Yan Qingge's deliberate expression, and wondered very much, why Yan Qingge was so sure that she would be able to leave the palace in just a few days.

In the middle of the night, Yan Qingge, who had always gone to bed early, never slept, but pulled Ruyi to talk.

"Ruyi, after leaving the palace, if Gongzi Cao comes to ask to marry you, will you go with him immediately?" Yan Qingge asked seriously.

"Miss, you're making fun of me again." Ruyi's face flushed.

She has never concealed anything about Cao Qingge.

Yan Qingge saw that Ruyi was still shy, shook his head and nodded her eyebrows.

A cool breeze blew and snapped, blowing the window shut, and the room was sullen, and Ruyi crawled over and wanted to close the window again.

From the evening onwards, the weather became very hot and humid, and it became dark as if it was going to rain. Suddenly the wind began to blow, and it was even more like a sign of rain.

Yan Qingge said: "Blow out the candles, and close the windows." ”

If she remembered correctly, on the night before she was reborn, there was a thunderstorm, and the lightning struck through the treasury where the palace was stored, and melted two chests of gold and silver ornaments into a large piece of gold and silver cakes.

Many years later, there were rumors of this incident among the people, and some people even said that on that day, a little eunuch saw a golden dragon flying out of the thunder, scratching through the roof, and then pinching the two boxes of gold and silver.

At that time, Yan Shuyu was already the crown princess, and Yan Qingge knew a little more about this matter than outsiders.

The two boxes of gold and silver ornaments were not for the concubines in the palace, but seemed to be for the princesses in the palace who had not yet married.

For a time, for two whole months, the princesses in the palace had no new jewelry to wear.

If Yan Qingge was not mistaken, the things that the queen prepared for her and the etiquette were all there.

The palace has to help prepare her ceremony, not a day or two. It's basically impossible to get another set of the same set out in just two months.

Yan Qingge was waiting for this day.

And everything before that is foreshadowing and preparation.

She wants to make the queen feel that she is not any threat, and she also wants the prince to take the initiative to let go of her, otherwise, even if there is no obstruction from the courtesy, she still can't go.

These days, she can see clearly that the queen really doesn't want to see her day by day, and often excuses her from asking for peace at every turn, which can be seen.

Perhaps, everyone is looking for an excuse to go downhill. This lightning strike must be the best solution.

Outside, the clattering thunder sounded, and the bright lightning swept through one by one, and the close seemed to pass over the roof beams, illuminating the house as bright as day.

Ruyi was frightened, she had never seen such a terrible thunderbolt.

Yan Qingge was also very worried, but he forced himself to calm down and buried himself in the bed.

The wind and thunder and lightning clashed, and tonight's palace became like hell.

With such a big thunderbolt, there are many people who haven't slept in the palace.

In the second half of the night, it finally began to rain heavily, and the sound of the rain seemed to be broken, and the thunder and lightning were a little quieter.

But Yan Qingge was not at ease, so she keenly noticed that there seemed to be a light moving outside the door, and after a while, she heard the door outside ringing, and immediately asked: Is it Aunt Xiafen? ”

After a while, Xia Fan walked in, she frowned slightly, and said, "Miss Yan hasn't slept yet?" ”

"Auntie, but what news did someone send here?"

"There are two things, one is that the treasury of the palace storage was broken by lightning. Another thing is that there are two ladies in Chuxiu Palace who were frightened by thunder and lightning, and the fetus was born prematurely. ”

The first thing is not what Yan Qingge expected, as for the specific things destroyed in the warehouse, we will only know tomorrow.

But I don't know if the two ladies in Chuxiu Palace were really frightened and gave birth prematurely, or if they had ulterior motives.

"Auntie, it's not a big deal, you just sleep. I went over yesterday, and the people who served the concubine on the side of the water side were fine, and others had children, and the decision had no effect on her. Yan Qingge was relieved.

Xia Fan was affected by Yan Qingge's calmness, and she was a little worried, but now she is not so worried.

Ruyi got up from the ground with a grunt and said to Yan Qingge: "Miss, I think those two ladies are probably not scared of thunder and lightning to give birth prematurely." ”

"It doesn't matter if anything. They just want to get a sense of their child's ranking. But no matter how you get it, Shui Ying's child has already come out, and she can't be stuffed back into her stomach again. ”

"Does the size of the child's ranking make a difference? However, the time of their birth is obviously only so wrong, or the same year. Kasumi asked, puzzled.

"Of course it works." Yan Qingge didn't explain much.

In the palace, the top-ranked children, and the low-ranked children, will be more pampered, but those sandwiched in the middle will be in an awkward position.

For example, the mediocre eldest prince and the second prince who always stir up the wind and rain, even if one is a straw bag and a gang all day long, they are still very liked by the emperor.

Another example is the fifth prince, before the Jingwang Mansion and the second prince did that kind of rebellious thing, they were simply pistachios that the emperor would take with him wherever he went.

And the fourth prince and the third prince, obviously received a lot less attention.

These truths, as long as the woman who stays in the palace for a few more days, will understand.

Yuan Jin has been abolished, so there is no need to mention it, the ingots born by Shui Ying are now dominant in Chuxiu Palace.

Whoever is born early and occupies the name of the three emperors' grandsons, whose son can share the profits in the future, will pay more attention to the crown prince.

The heavy rain overnight slowly turned smaller at dawn, sweeping away the scorching heat of summer.

Yan Qingge has been exempted by the queen in the past few days, and he can sit in the house in the morning, eating steamed buns, drinking porridge, and waiting for new news.

Aunt Xia Fan walked in with an umbrella, her trousers and shoes were soaked, but her spirit was very good.

"Miss Yan, the two ladies who gave birth to Chuxiu Palace last night gave birth to the granddaughters of the emperor, one is only eight months old, and the other is not eight months old, and her body is extremely weak, and none of them have been saved. I heard that they all seemed to be looking for someone to urge the fetus, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, and this matter has been known to His Royal Highness, and he is furious. ”

Yan Qingge didn't clip a longan bun, and it fell on the table with a click, and the plump juice splashed all over her chest.

"Oops, Miss, I was so careless." Ruyi hurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped it for Yan Qingge, and changed her Zhang Luo into new clothes.

This news really surprised Yan Qingge.

After changing into a new set of clothes, Yan Qingge didn't have time to continue to finish eating, Bixiang walked in at the door, and said to Yan Qingge with a slight smile: "Miss Yan, Niangniang called you over to talk." ”

When she got to the queen, she tilted her head slightly, and her face was full of more and more wrinkles, and there was a stiff smile.

Seeing Yan Qingge, she beckoned her to come to her side and said, "When the mourning family gets up in the morning, I think about you all over my head." The mourning family wanted to excuse you from asking for peace and let you relax for a few days, but you can't always come. The mourning family sees you as their own daughter, and without you, the mourning family's life is not very tasteful. ”

This time, the queen's sensationalism has exceeded every previous time. In the past, she just said a few words that Yan Qingge was similar to her dead daughter, or when she saw Yan Qingge, it made her think of her dead daughter, but this time she actually said that Yan Qingge could be called her own daughter, Yan Qingge understood that the queen must be talking about the point.

She was excited, followed the queen's meaning, and said to her softly: "Qingge heard Niangniang say that when Niangniang was in Bailu Academy, she had a friendship with Qingge's mother. Looking at Niangniang, Qingge often thinks of her mother in her heart, if her mother is still there, she must be as good as Niangniang to Qingge. ”

When the queen saw Yan Qingge's fish throwing the bait, she bit the hook, and immediately laughed: "There is still a little statue of your mother in the mourning house!" At that time, the mourning family was old, and they were about to leave Bailu Academy, your mother had only been here for half a year, and they traveled to Meilin together in winter, and the master asked everyone to draw small portraits of each other, your mother was born well, wearing a red cloak, standing in the snow, looking like a fairy, everyone rushed to have a pair with her, and finally she chose the mourning family......"

The queen said, sighing for a while, she actually reached out and held Yan Qingge's wrist: "The mourning family was like a sister to her back then, so she naturally regarded you as her own." ”

"!" Yan Qingge pinched his throat and forced himself to tremble and scream.

The queen was very satisfied, smiled and touched Yan Qingge's face, the cold metal armor on her hand slashed across Yan Qingge's neck and cheeks, causing Yan Qingge to lose goosebumps.

"Hey! ...... year It's really hard to describe what happened back then. The mourning family thought that you would be the daughter-in-law of the mourning family, but they didn't expect that the son of the mourning family would not have that blessing. But the mourning family can't give up on you, so what if I adopt you as an adopted daughter? The queen's eyes flashed, and she looked at Yan Qingge fixedly.

Yan Qingge's body almost trembled.

The queen should have gotten the news that the supplies prepared before were destroyed, and was ready to let Yan Qingge out of the palace, but she still didn't trust her, and wanted to use her as an adopted daughter to firmly trap her to death, in case one day, something happened between the prince and her.

The Great Zhou has always been harsh on women, and a man can have three wives and four concubines, but women must abide by women's morals.

If the crown prince and her do something dishonorable, but the courtier's wife and the prince will return it, at most she will be kicked out of the house and rumors.

But if she has such a relationship between her brother and sister, she will be sentenced to death, announced to the world, and even compiled into the "Great Message", which will leave a stench for thousands of years. It's better to die when you are persecuted by the prince, but you will be innocent.
