Chapter Forty-Eight: Take Only Two Scoops
When Emperor Qing, that is, my grandfather, after telling me about this past that night, I did not have much sadness and hatred in my heart, only consciously the impermanence of the world, but also celebrated the luck of the moment, my grandfather repeatedly told me, since my son and I have come to this point, it is necessary to live in Ling for a few days, one can enjoy the scenery of the north and the cities of Ling, and the other can also make him spend more time with me and talk about the reunion of my cousins and grandchildren.
Therefore, the two of us had to continue to live in the Kanzhan Building. However, recently, I have often been summoned to the palace to accompany my grandfather in my spare time, and I talked a lot about my mother's childhood, but I also heard some gossip about the jealousy of the beautiful concubines, so far the situation in the harem of Ling Guo has been roughly figured out in a few days.
Kanzhelou,
In the room,
Butterfly embroidered screen, mandarin duck warm tent, although the scenery of the north is good, but I have always grown up in Jinling, the cold of the north is unbearable, not only me, but also the son, so these days when we have nothing to do, we only curl up in the room, with charcoal to continue life.
"You know what? My grandfather's harem was really weak back then, but it's a pity that there are only two scoops left now. I poured a cup of hot tea, sat down, and held up two fingers.
"Two scoops?" He was lying on the kang and didn't know what book he had taken and was looking at it.
"Yes, it seems that one is called Concubine Ning and the other is called Concubine Liu." I only took one sip and felt that it didn't smell good, so I left the tea aside.
"Emperor Qing is such an old man, there are still two concubines in the harem, and they are really in love, thinking about it like this, your grandfather should have been very powerful when he was young." He couldn't help but laugh to himself.
I stepped forward and knocked on his head with my hand, put it on the side of the kang and said, "Where do you want to go, these two concubines are not very old, one of them is still from Jinling, because my mother and uncle died in Jinling, my grandfather felt that the country must be without a prince, so he chose women in the people, in fact, these women who entered the palace are quite pitiful, their husbands just want them to inherit the lineage, you think about how sad it is to have a marriage without love." ”
He sighed lightly, sat up half of his body behind me and said, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Poor people must have something to hate', and those who were originally pitiful people can be so 'pitiful' for a long time, and many hateful things will be born, which is also one of the tragic ends of these women for the harem people." ”
"Could it be that there is no such thing as a woman in the world who comes out of the mud and is not stained?" As soon as I turned my head, the tip of my nose happened to touch the tip of his, but I hurriedly avoided it.
He suddenly showed a bit of amorous meaning, kissed me on the cheek for a long time, and whispered, "This is human nature, as long as you fall into this strange circle, no one can escape, so I just want my 'one life and one couple', and I don't need those poor people to come to my harem to make up for it." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll have a lot of hatefulness over time?" I bent my back and rested my head on his shoulder, smiling.
"Those women were not pampered, but they had to do all kinds of things to compete for and seize in the deep palace, how could their minds not become more and more vicious, and those 'hateful places' are the real hateful places, and you, if you don't fight or grab, if you don't occupy or take it, you are already my only one, how can you be like those people?" He looked at the white light reflected in the snow outside the wooden window on the side of the kang, and explained with only a smile.
I pretended to be innocent and joked to him, "yes, yes, if I become like that one day, you must not be good enough for me!" ”
He only grinned when he heard this, patted me and said, "I, I want you to be careful every time you enter the palace, don't let those women calculate, and when the time comes, you want me to relieve the siege for you~ This Ling Guo is cold, I don't want to take half a step out of this house." ”
I immediately came to a dragon tail swing, reflexively pinched his nose and kept saying, "I want you to solve the siege, I want you, I want you to ......", I suddenly let go and counted a few with my fingers, "Huh? Counting the days, it seems that I am going to enter the palace tomorrow, and my grandfather seems to have invited me to watch the plum or something. ”
He only shivered, pulled the quilt over his head and said, "Hey, it's so cold when you think about it, does Li'er really want to go?" Don't get cold! ”
"Of course I'm going!" Thinking that it has not been long since I met my grandfather, and it is impossible to stay in Ling Country forever in the future, I still have to take advantage of this time to accompany my grandfather more.
"It's dripping ice outside, and even the dark guards come a lot less often, if you have to go tomorrow, put on my big coat." He showed his face again and said more.
"I'm wearing a big and long one, and I'm still good at wearing that rabbit fur." Although I waved my hand and refused as if it didn't matter, in fact, I also refused to go out in my heart, this ghost weather is so cold, who wants to become an ice sculpture outside!
