Chapter 22 The times create man
Mu Lingchen suddenly appeared, and threw her a bunch of doubts, which gave her a headache.
Fortunately, she turned around and finally returned to Biluo Palace.
The palace maid Feng'er has indeed suffered a lot of grievances, and at this time, Concubine Xian has already let her rest.
Jing Guiren took some supplements and went to Concubine Xian.
After retiring from the palace people around her, Chu Yuege said worriedly, "Sister, what you did today is really too showy. I'm afraid that it will become a thorn in the side of those concubines! ”
"That's what I want, I want to do it quickly. If it has been dormant, will you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey? I'm going to get Mu Lingxuan to notice me. I want to lead those concubines to take the initiative. In that way, I can adapt to all changes without changing. ”
Chu Shuyao said resolutely, and Chu Yuege breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom has always been confident, so why should she worry about it?
"Thanks to my sister's help today, I was able to rescue Feng'er from the Naxin Library." Chu Yuege sincerely thanked her.
"We're sisters, so don't say these polite words."
"I brought you a tonic." Jing Guiren took out a few packets of medicinal herbs.
"Let me tell you the truth, you are not an ordinary illness at all, you have been poisoned. And this tonic is the antidote that I have researched. You drink first. When I dig into it a little more, I can make a pill and it's easy to take. ”
"As for this tonic, since Feng'er is back, she will decoct the medicine herself! Let her remember, you must not leave an inch, and burn the residue when it runs out! ”
"There is also the daily decoction, which is still fried by the palace maid, and when she drinks it, she just avoids people and pours it out."
Chu Shuyao said so much, Chu Yuege was already frightened, and muttered to herself, "It's really terrible." ”
"Isn't it all like that in the palace? Whether it is the Tanglin Kingdom or the Western Chu Kingdom. Doesn't my sister understand after living in the palace for so many years? ”
Chu Yuege suddenly understood, and looked at Chu Shuyao in a daze. She suddenly understood why the mother concubine was unwilling to compete for favor, and was willing to be an unknown concubine in the harem.
It turns out that only in this way can she live well.
And she is different from Chu Shuyao, she has a cowardly mother, but Chu Shuyao is the queen's daughter. As a princess, she is loved by the emperor. She is a golden and noble body, and she is just a princess with no name.
So all of this has long been decided, she can't do what she wants to do like Chu Shuyao.
Because of the long-term restraint, she can't even do basic self-protection now. And all this, in Chu Shuyao's opinion, is simply a piece of cake.
Chu Shuyao dared to show her edge in the palace of the Tanglin Kingdom, setting off a bloody storm.
But she couldn't, because she couldn't, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to protect herself. She can't afford to lose!
Chu Yuege suddenly realized that the weak person was so pathetic.
Looking at the confident and resolute Chu Shuyao, the princess who was on top, she couldn't help but feel admiration and prostrateness.
It turns out that the gap between people is doomed from the beginning. One is dazzling, the other is obliterated in dust!
Is it that in this life, she has to end up doing nothing and being dull? Chu Yuege's eyes gradually dimmed.
She began to rejoice that she and Chu Shuyao were not enemies. Such a woman who makes her ashamed of herself, what should she take to fight?
I know that I won't win, but I am not willing to admit defeat!
As the emperor, Jun has no jokes, since the emperor said that he was coming, Concubine Xian has been ready early. At dinnertime, the emperor did not come, and Concubine Xian did not look lost, she had already thought of it. If the emperor can come to her, it is already a great tolerance and luxury, how could he come half a step earlier?
Since she came to Western Chu, the emperor has only summoned her to the Cheng'en Hall once, as a routine, like an explanation to the Western Chu State.
She only remembered that she was nervous, and the rest, she didn't remember anything. She thought that she would slowly grow old alone in the Tanglin Palace.
Of course, this has to be under the condition of peace between the Western Chu State and the Tanglin Kingdom. If the two countries were at war, she wouldn't even have a chance to die alone.
Concubine Xian ate some dinner without knowing anything, and began to wait nervously again. Even the maids in her palace became quiet.
The emperor came neither early nor late, it was she who waited until she got impatient. It was routine again, but Concubine Xian felt a slight difference.
The emperor actually said a few more words, and the emperor asked her, "As the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, you should have read some history books, right?" ”
Concubine Xian didn't know what to say, and replied tremblingly, "The princesses in the Western Chu Kingdom have special Taifu to teach, and the Taifu who teaches the princess is different from the Taifu who teaches the prince. The princes emphasized politics, and the princesses emphasized literature. ”
"Oh. I see! The Emperor seemed to suddenly understand something.
Then he asked, "Then how did you princesses of the Western Chu Kingdom enter the political core of Western Chu?" ”
After the emperor asked this sentence, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and changed the topic again, "Since you said that you are homesick, I will allow you to exchange letters with the Western Chu Kingdom." ”
Concubine Xian was flattered, and said incoherently excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
After she got married, her correspondence with the Western Chu State was a national letter written by the Tanglin Kingdom. She has always remembered her mother.
Although she knew that even if the emperor allowed her to write a family letter, the family letter would definitely be sent to Xichu after Tanglin Kingdom had read it, and there was nothing wrong with it. But even so, she was satisfied.
Because she can write to her mother by hand, and she can also receive letters from her mother.
The emperor didn't stay overnight, and left in the middle of the night. The emperor is gone, and Concubine Xian's heart is relaxed. Between her and the emperor, separated by Dongling and Western Chu, how could she really rest assured of each other.
If you can't give trust, what's the point? It's good to be able to respect each other as guests.
She also thought that she was smart, otherwise her father would not have sent her to make peace. Although she is not as wise as Chu Shuyao, she has her own little cleverness.
For so many years, living cautiously in the palace, she is more observant and comfortable than Chu Shuyao.
When Mu Lingxuan left, he also glanced at the side hall, and the lights in the side hall had been turned off at this time. The Emperor paused for a moment.
The chief eunuch who followed him was wondering if the emperor had the idea of going to Jing Guiren, and the emperor had already left.
The next day, the emperor gave the virtuous concubine a reward according to custom. actually rewarded the Jing nobles by the way.
The people in the palace said that since that day, Jing Guiren was sharp and won the emperor's appreciation, and there was already a harbinger of favor. Therefore, the people in the palace are all attentive to Jing Guiren.
The stewards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Department Bureau, the Department of Clothing, the Department of Establishment, and the Department of Catering all sent a lot of things. It is said that the Jing nobles have just entered the palace, and the things must not be complete.
Jing Guiren accepted it with a pleasant face, and asked Yuzhuo to reward, she knew the rules of the palace, even those eunuchs and palace maids, they had to pay attention to a courtesy.
If she is arrogant this time, or if she does not accept these gifts, she will offend those people. In the future, there will be many troubles and inconveniences.
The people in the palace are looking forward to the day when the Jing nobles will be favored?
Waited for a day, waited for another day, even if three or four days passed. The people in the palace didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, is the emperor busy? In the past, it was like this, and the number of times I came to the harem was remarkable.
But half a month has passed, and the emperor has not summoned the nobles to sleep, but the people in the palace are still not in a hurry, after all, the emperor has not gone to others! You can wait a little longer.
After a few more days, the emperor went to the newly entered palace An Guiren. Only then did the people in the palace understand that the emperor had forgotten about Jing Guiren.
Jing Guiren has been making pills for Concubine Xian these days, and she has never cared about the direction of those remarks outside.
Today's lunch was two dishes less than usual, and she asked, "Is the dining room too busy today?" There are actually two dishes less than usual? ”
Yu Zhuo muttered, "The people in the imperial dining room haven't seen people put down dishes yet?" In the past, I always sent someone to send it, but now I have to urge it. And in the past, I used to give one more dish than the portion, saying that it was filial piety. But now there is one dish less than the portion, saying that I remembered it wrong before, and now I have to make up for it. ”
"Noble, you say they are angry or not!" Jade stomping.
"What's there to be angry about? Aren't the people in the palace all worshipping high and stepping on low? Since I don't have the ability to win the emperor's favor, naturally I don't have to be courteous. ”
Jing Guiren was not angry, but ate deliciously. Yu Zhuo watched his nobles from the side not fighting or grabbing, and he was so calm that his eyes were red with anxiety.
After Jing Guiren finished eating, he finally asked, "Has the emperor come to the harem these days, where did he go?" ”
Jing Guiren asked, Yu Zhuo remembered, "Speaking of which, the emperor has only been to the queen and Concubine Li once this month, oh, by the way, there is also an Guiren who has just entered the palace." ”
"An Guiren?" Jing Guiren was puzzled, and asked again, "What is the family background of An Guiren?" ”
"How did the little lord inquire about An Guiren's family background?" Although Yuzhuo wondered, he still explained the doubts of his nobles in a decent manner.
"Since An Guiren went to bed, the slave maid has already inquired, An Guiren's father is a general in a border town. Although he is a general, he is just an outsider. It's not a court official. ”
Jing Guiren showed a thoughtful smile, "No, as far as I can see, this An Guiren's father will definitely be reused by the emperor." ”
Yu Zhuo was puzzled, and Jing Guiren didn't explain.
History since ancient times tells the world that "in troubled times, there are heroes, and in times of peace, corrupt officials come out."
However, in today's situation, the Tanglin Kingdom must be heavy on military force and light on literature.
And the generals who are in the border areas will naturally be valued by the emperor. If there was no ninety percent trust, the emperor would not have sent military generals to the frontier to protect the frontier towns.
Sure enough, the former dynasty is closely related to the harem! In the Western Chu Kingdom, isn't it the same for her father?
