Chapter 38 Yonghe Palace
Xia Mo got up in the middle of the night and saw an unfamiliar bed, but there was a familiar smell, this was his own bedding, pillows, and even the incense outside was also what Xiao Tang liked.
"Grandma!" Xia Mo shouted, but her voice was hoarse.
"Gege!" It was Su Ma who came, usually a few grandmothers took turns to take a few big girls to keep vigil, Su Ma was at the Queen Mother's place, and she had been guarding by the bedside. poured her a glass of water, held Xia Mo in her arms, and gently fed her water.
"Mama Su, where is this?" After Xia Mo drank a few sips of warm water, she looked around and made sure that this was indeed not her room.
"This is Yonghe Palace." Su Ma said softly.
"Why?" Xia Mo didn't expect it to be Yonghe Palace, go to Concubine Hui, Concubine Liang, even if it is Concubine Yi, why is it Concubine De?
"Gege, Mama Su can only accompany you for a few more days, and after the Empress Dowager moves her spirit, Mama Su will go to guard the Empress Dowager's spirit."
"I'll go too, I'll be with Mama Su." Xia Moyi entered Su Ma's arms and hugged her tightly. Now that Xiaozhuang is dead, the best thing for her now is Su Ma, and it is more reliable to follow Su Ma.
"Silly Gege!" Su Ma sighed softly and hugged her tightly.
"Gege, you listen to Mama Su quietly, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, remember it, and think slowly in the future." Seeing that Xia Mo nodded, she took a deep breath, "Gege, the Empress Dowager has prepared a dowry for you, as well as the things in your small library, I have kept the account books, the emperor has already placed a seal, and the account books are placed in your box, and when you leave the cabinet, you will go to count them." Gege, things and money are small things, but you have to let people know that you are not a bully, you can't be bullied by others. ”
"I know, I can't let the slave bully the master."
"Yes, Gege is so smart, Mama Su only said it once, and Gege understood." Su Ma chuckled and patted her head gently.
"Gege, this is a place where you can eat people, the Queen Mother is gone, and Mama Su is gone, Gege has to take care of herself. Send you to Yonghe Palace, but the Empress Dowager has thought about it for a long time. You're so old, you don't mean to have someone take care of you. Actually, it's better to hand you over to the Queen Mother, right? When you can experience the hard work of the Queen Mother, you will be able to live well in this royal family. ”
"Didn't Mama Su tell me?"
"You have to think about this, Gege is so likable, you have to get along well with Concubine De, let Concubine De like Gege, and love Gege as much as the Queen Mother."
"Why?"
"It's up to Gege to think about it! Also, don't keep bullying the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother will not be able to come to see you often in the future, if you still bully him, who will you bully if he doesn't come? If you're fine, don't go to Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang's palace often! In the future, you must be well-behaved, you are a royal character, you must be dignified and behaved. ”
"Well, in the future, I will be obedient and dignified."
"Remember one sentence, the Empress Dowager said, Concubine De's blessing is not small, you have to see how her blessing came from."
Everything that should be said was said, Xia Mo didn't seem to understand, and Su Ma didn't continue. fed her a few more mouthfuls of water, gently patted Xia Mo, and coaxed her to sleep. looked at Xia Mo's cute little face and sighed softly. In fact, she didn't know what the road ahead would be, the Empress Dowager wouldn't tell her anything, she just had to do it. But sometimes I guess what the Empress Dowager is thinking. But she couldn't guess everything, and she didn't dare to guess, she just hoped that Gege would be smarter than her and could see more clearly.
Because of the death of Xiaozhuang, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi was also particularly bleak, Xia Mo honestly sat on Concubine De's kang, and the ninth princess on the side also sat dignifiedly, bowing her head and seriously peeling a peanut. And Concubine De Wu Ya's belly was already very big, and the fire kang was too hot for her, so she sat on the spring bench next to her. Obviously, neither mother nor daughter likes to talk, and the hall is terrifyingly quiet.
Concubine De saw Xia Mo's dazedness, the Empress Dowager passed away on December 25, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, she was actually still guarding the spirit, if she wasn't looking at this little Gege, she was afraid that she would still have to kneel there. And Kangxi now doesn't allow Xia Mo to go to the mourning hall, for fear that she will cry and faint again, so she can only stay quietly in her palace.
"Mo'er, are you bored?"
"No, why did the Ninth Princess peel peanuts? Does she have teeth? Xia Mo has been observing the Ninth Princess for a long time, peeling it there seriously and seriously, not eating, peeling it, putting it in a small plate, and then continuing to peel another one. I have been a kindergarten teacher for a few years, and I am always very curious about the strange phenomena of children.
"She likes to peel." Concubine De doesn't care, isn't it good for the child to be quiet?
"You didn't ask why?"
"I made her peel it." Concubine De smiled quietly and gently stroked her stomach.
Xia Mo didn't understand, on the one hand, she said that the little princess liked to peel, and on the other hand, she said that she let her peel, thinking about it, she didn't have to understand, the palace talked less, didn't do things, and it was best to get by.
Looking back at the ninth princess, she was still quietly peeling there. Turning a deaf ear to their discussions.
Xia Mo reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them all in her mouth, Concubine De was stunned for a moment, laughed, sure enough, it was a child, she didn't speak, and watched quietly.
Xia Mo is also watching, she eats the fruits of the Ninth Princess's victory, what will happen to her?
The ninth princess obviously didn't expect this, she looked at the plate in a daze, then looked at her hand, looked back at Concubine De, and finally set her eyes on Xia Mo, who was eating very deliciously, then thought about it, and then lowered her head and continued. peeled it again, put it in the plate, and then deliberately pushed the plate in front of Xia Mo, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get it. Very, I'll peel you to eat, very harmonious mind.
What kind of kid is this? This time Xia Mo was very depressed, she had never seen such a child, she originally wanted to see the ninth princess cry, but this one didn't care at all.
"Why?" Xia Mo looked at Concubine De.
"No one eats her when she peels it, you eat it just right." Concubine De smiled happily and with pride in her eyes, she was proud of her daughter.
Xia Mo looked at Concubine De, this woman who is almost thirty years old, she is really not young in this deep palace, and her beauty cannot be compared with Concubine Liang, why does Xiaozhuang think that she is blessed?
"She is already a princess, and she will choose a princess in the future, and she will be in charge of the princess's mansion, if she can't bear and be lenient in everything, she will force herself to death, what else is there to talk about? Princess Gegebi is blessed, and naturally she can live more freely. Concubine De sighed faintly, and looked at her daughter with pity, this is her second daughter, the first one died before she was confined, and now she doesn't know if she can raise it or not, no matter what, she has to plan to raise it.
Su Ma passed on the will of the Empress Dowager that day, to put it bluntly, this was the Empress Dowager's idea, because she was stable, so she put Xia Mo under her knees, the picture was to let Xia Mo adapt to the life of the royal family, see the reality of the royal family, and learn to accept her fate.
She thought about it for a few days, in her palace, then the Empress Dowager let Xia Mo learn to do things by herself. Usually Xia Mo often comes to play, although he is not as close as the old thirteen, but he is also a cute child, since he is put by his side, no matter what outsiders think, he has to take care of it, and he can't let people poke his backbone. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said what she had just said, and her teaching would have actually begun.
