Chapter 8, Concubine Niu

"By the way, do you know why this is? Why did Tong Niangniang carry me? Su Lian was also very puzzled, the Tong family would not pull a woman into her husband's bed for no reason, right?

Wu Yashi showed a little surprise, "Doesn't my sister know?" Your brother Acton killed General Shang Zhixin in the south and forced Shang Zhixin to surrender, but he did a great job! ”

Yes?!! Su Lian was stunned, Acton made a great contribution?! Obviously, in my memory, it was a brother who was as honest as a big bear, a little lacking in heart, and how could his brain be good...... He actually made a great contribution on the battlefield of the rebellion of the three feudatories?!

Wu Yashi patted the back of Su Lai's hand, and praised in a long voice: "My sister is a blessed person!" There seemed to be a bit of envy in her tone, although her father and brother both served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they didn't have such a capable brother, they were all destined.

Blessed, blessed, go to peat!! Su Lian roared inwardly.

The heat was unbearable, and it was boring to stay in the house, so Wu Yashi suggested going to the Wanchun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, where the trees were lush and cool. Su Lian used to be too cautious, but now he sees that ** is not that he will lose his life if he is not careful, and he also has the heart to go out for a walk, but he is also afraid that he will not recognize people and will collide with which concubine. Now that the Wu Ya clan is leading the way, it is also a good thing.

In the morning, according to the rules, I went to the main hall to ask for peace for the main seat Concubine Tong, and when Concubine Tong went to ask for peace for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, Su Curtain went out of Jingren Palace with Wu Yashi.

In his previous life, Su Lian had also visited the Forbidden City many times, but the Forbidden City 200 years ago was still a little different from the Forbidden City in later generations - the biggest difference is that there are not a large number of tourists with camera clicks!!

In the morning, the sun is not scorching, along the long road of the East Sixth Palace all the way to the north, along the way from the Chengqian Palace, Zhong Cui Palace next to the pass, it took more than half an hour to enter the imperial garden.

Wuya nobleman pointed to the leafy place in front of him and said, "That is the Wanchun Pavilion, which is a little remote, so few people come." ”

But as soon as Wuya's nobleman's words fell, Su Curtain was biased against the fact that there were people in the pavilion, and there were quite a few of them, and the people around the pavilion were palace maids and eunuchs, some holding smokers, some holding melons and fruits, and some holding canopies. The only one who sat was a woman who looked a little thin and sickly-looking, but who was dressed and dressed in great luxury.

The noble Wuya was also taken aback, glanced at Su Lian, and said, "It seems to be Concubine Niu." ”

Yes, look at the golden crank canopy embroidered with Luan Feng and know that it can only be enjoyed by officially canonized concubines, although the Tong family enjoys the courtesy of a noble concubine, but after all, there is no official canonization, so there is no canopy for the ceremonial guard. And the only concubine in the palace who has officially been canonized is Niu Hulu.

Su Lian and Wu Yashi were about to retreat, but they saw a palace maid in their twenties in front of them greet them, saluted as usual and said, "My mother invites the two little masters to sit in the pavilion." ”

In this case, I can only bite the bullet.

Su Lian was half a step behind Wu Ya's clan, stepped forward, squatted down and walked Wanfu, and said in unison with Wu Ya's clan: "Please Niu Concubine Niang'an!" ”

Concubine Niu covered her lips with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and called "Excuse me", "This Wanchun Pavilion has never met people often, but since I have met, I think it is fate." ”

After that, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and asked: "This palace is sick and lives in Yongshou Palace, and you don't know people, but you are new concubines?" ”

Wu Ya's face was respectful, "The concubine and noble Wu Ya clan only served the holy driver last year. He pointed to Su Lian and introduced: "This is the one who promised the Ussuri clan." ”

Concubine Niu nodded slightly, but only looked at Su Lian, and asked: "I heard Banzai two days ago in this palace that there is a brave pioneer general, who is also surnamed Ussuri, but your relatives?" ”

** people, why do they all know the previous dynasty so well? Su Lian really didn't like that he was so famous, but he couldn't lose his manners, so he took half a step forward, and then gave a deep blessing, and replied: "It's the concubine's brother." ”

If there was deep meaning in Concubine Niu's eyes, she stared at Su Curtain for a long time, and said long: "You are blessed." ”

Alas, Su Lian sighed in his heart, why did they all say that?! She really doesn't want this kind of blessing!

Concubine Niu looked very interested in Su Lian, "Su promised to look at the tender face, what is the year of this?" ”

Su Lian bowed his head and said, "Hui Niangniang, sixteen." "-If you add the age of your previous life, I can be your grandmother, Su Lian complained! Although he has lived for so many years in his previous life, Su Lian's heart is not mature at all. Inner maturity is accompanied by physical aging and spiritual frustration, and these curtains rarely experience. And in her half-hundred life, there are only two setbacks, one is the unexpected death of her husband, and then the only relative, her grandfather, dies.

Su Lian didn't have time to miss his previous life, and Concubine Niu muttered in a sad tone: "Sixteen, twenty-eight years...... You're really young...... and your Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace, who is only nineteen, is really young. ”

Concubine Niu is one year older than the late Empress Renxiao Hesheri, and is the same age as the emperor, so she is already twenty-four this year. Twenty-four, in fact, is also very young, but she has been sick for many years, and there are wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. She has thin eyebrows and long eyes, and her facial features are very well-proportioned, she must have thought that she was a beauty who was charming and charming, but now she can't hide her decadence under the thick fat powder.

Wuya nobleman smiled and complimented: "Niangniang's country is beautiful, and she looks like twenty-eight." ”

Concubine Niu smiled, her eyes stared, "Wuya nobleman is very good at talking. ”

Wu Yashi became nervous, and carefully blessed herself: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Concubine Niu's tone was as clear as a spring breeze and drizzle: "Greet Concubine Tong for the palace, I haven't seen her for a long time, but I miss her." ”

Wu Ya nobleman lowered her eyebrows and said politely: "Tong Niangniang also often talks about you." ”

"Really?" Concubine Niu's face suddenly bloomed with a big smile, and her voice was slightly raised, "Before Sister Tong's birthday, the body of this palace as a sister was not angry, and she couldn't go in person, but don't be angry with this palace!" ”

A layer of sweat appeared on Wu Yashi's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "How could it be? The Hetian white jade cup given by Concubine Niu, Tong Niangniang can't put it down. ”

Concubine Niu's hand wearing red gold armor pulled her sideburns that were blown away by the wind, and said quietly: "Sister Tong loves Meiyu, and this palace knows it." There is nothing in the palace that can be handled, only the pair of white jade cups, which is the birthday gift given by the emperor to the palace in the year when the palace first entered the palace. ”

Wu Yashi didn't see the slightest surprise in his eyes, but the words that came out of his mouth contained a surprised tone: "It turns out that the pair of white jade cups have such a background, and the concubine is lonely and unheard, and I only know it today." ”

Concubine Niu Wan'er chuckled: "Although Hetian Yu is good, it is just a thing, the key is the emperor's heart." ”

"What the mother said is very true!" Wu Yashi is gentle and gentle.

Su Lian watched their conversation, and Su Lian also felt that they all had their own deep meanings, but she still couldn't figure out the meaning of the words when she heard it...... Alas, she really doesn't have a palace fighting cell! In front of the two palace fighting gods, Su Lian was a little anxious about his IQ. Fortunately, they didn't talk for long, and they thought that Concubine Niu was not in good health, so they only said a few words with Wu Yashi that were not clear, and left first.

On the way back, Wu Yashi slightly reminded Su Lian, who looked dazed: "That pair of jade cups is from the dragon and phoenix and Ming." ”

Su Lian listened to it and immediately understood half of it.

The jade cup, that is, the jade cup, the vessel used to drink alcohol, was not too special, but it was the jade cup of the dragon and phoenix and Ming! When the emperor and queen got married, the one who handed over a glass of wine was the dragon and phoenix jade cup! In this way, the meaning it represents is not ordinary!! The emperor actually gave the dragon and phoenix jade cup that only the queen can enjoy to Concubine Niu privately!

And now, Concubine Niu has transferred this jade cup to the Tong family! Does it mean that she is willing to give up the position of successor to Concubine Tong? No, by no means!! Concubine Niu is so humble, why doesn't she retreat as advance?! Niu Fei ...... It's clear that it's really a pit for Concubine Tong!

It's true that the battle in the palace is not bloody, but there are not many schemings between people's hearts! One by one, all of them are masters of attacking the heart! Alas, in the inner palace, the survival index is really not good.

By the time we returned, the sun had already risen. Su Lian and Wu Yashi had no choice but to walk against the wall of the corridor, but they were still sweating profusely and their clothes were wet. When I came out this time, I didn't take advantage of the cold, but sweated.

Alas, the road is still long. The Forbidden City is boxy, with six palaces in the east, three horizontal and two vertical, one palace next to the other, and it falls on the map, which is a neatly cut tofu block. But when it came to the real scene, Su Lian really wanted to lament: This tofu block is a little too big......

Walking with sore feet, Su Lian was a little envious of the flat embroidered shoes worn by embroidered eyebrows...... The bottom of this flower pot is simply more tiring than high heels!! It's really not something that people wear! In her previous life, she was tall, so she never wore shoes with heels longer than four centimeters, and she was sinned in this life! The bottom of a three-inch flower pot is ten centimeters!! Now the soles of the feet must be grinding out bubbles!

Looking at the parallel Wu Yashi, although there was also a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his demeanor was elegant as usual, and he walked unhurriedly. She still hasn't practiced home......

Walking and walking, Su Lian suddenly thought, isn't Wu Ya's family a nobleman? The nobles are equipped with a guard of honor, although it is not gorgeous, but it also has a shoulder!

Immediately, I couldn't help but sigh that Wu Yashi would be a man. She invited Su Lian to come out together, if she took the shoulder, Su Lian's little promise could only follow behind, then it was not to get closer, but to pull envy, jealousy, and hatred. Wu Ya does not have a prominent family background, does not have the complexion of a country, and has this kind of bearing and wisdom in dealing with the world. Presumably, this is also the most important reason why she was able to win the position of the fourth concubine, give birth to three sons and three daughters, and have been graced all her life only by virtue of her background as a palace maid!

(Xiu River Crab.) Modify the ceremonial guard, the concubine and the concubine ceremonial guard all have seven phoenix cranks golden canopy, this is a historical material, not apocryphal. )
