Chapter 18: Su Jinnian

Chunshui was shocked: "Senior brother! ”

Mo Lanyan was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and when she saw the dead bodies on the ground, she couldn't help but scream.

"Smack!" Concubine Lan slapped Fan in the face fiercely: "Little cheap hoof, what are you calling blindly?" Afraid that others don't know?! ”

Fan Yu was slapped by Concubine Lan, and hurriedly cried and knelt down to admit her mistake again and again: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she begs the mother to calm her anger." ”

This annoyed Concubine Lan even more, and she couldn't wait to sew her mouth shut immediately.

"Mother." Chunshui held back his grief and stood up with his fists clenched: "The top priority is how to deal with my senior brother's body. ”

"Yes, yes, Chunshui." Concubine Lan stabilized her mind: "Now Su Wenmei must know that we did it." Let's have to think of a way to deal with it, your brother's body must not be discovered by the patrolling guards! ”

"Chunshui, then in your opinion, what should be done with your senior brother's body?" Concubine Lan's voice trembled, and her hand involuntarily put on Chunshui's arm.

"Buried in the backyard." Chunshui said.

"This ......" Concubine Lan felt a little worried when she thought of such a corpse buried near her dormitory, but she also understood her situation - if Ah Yin's body was reported and investigated by the Criminal Department, it would be difficult to guarantee that she would not be found on her head.

In the end, she could only tremble and nod helplessly.

Spring water and strife went down to bury people. Concubine Lan trembled and returned to the dormitory of Shulan Palace. Thinking of the bruise-purple face of the dead body just now, and the scars all over his body, he couldn't help but vomit: "Vomit ......"

At this time, Cheng Qian reluctantly left the Gu Mansion and sat on the sedan chair on the return trip, and his heart was happy.

Cheng Qian lifted the sedan curtain: "Little Lizi, you say, what is the good position of Wen Mei in the seal?" ”

Xiao Lizi turned his head: "The emperor said so, he must have an idea?" ”

"I want to make her the imperial concubine." He looked at Xiao Lizi excitedly.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Lizi was a little surprised: "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate." Miss Su is the righteous daughter of the Gu Mansion, and she is not a blood relative after all. And Miss Su is in Kyoto, except for the Gu Mansion, she doesn't know other powerful people. If she is named the imperial concubine, she is above the position of the people in the harem, and I am afraid that it will cause the harem to be jealous, but Miss Yu Su is a bad thing. ”

Cheng Qian thought for a while: "That's right." But then again, Wen Mei has no backer in Kyoto, and her background is a little thinner, so I guess where to find a backer for her! ”

"What does the emperor mean ......" Although Xiao Li Zi understood a general idea in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the emperor was so concerned about Miss Su's affairs.

"I've got to find her a backer!" Cheng Qian looked at Xiao Lizi and said matter-of-factly.

Shou'an Palace.

"Mother, my son has come to greet you." Cheng Qian's steps were brisk, and he stepped into Shou'an Palace with a spring breeze on his face.

"Qian'er is so happy, but what happy event has she encountered?" The Queen Mother was tasting Xingong's honey and red date cake at this time, and was in a good mood, and when she heard Cheng Qian's hearty voice, she pulled him to sit down, took a piece of honey and red date cake, and handed it to Cheng Qian: "The emperor also tastes it?" ”

Cheng Qian took the pastry, brought it to his mouth and tasted a piece: "Queen Mother, this pastry is so sweet!" ”

"The emperor came over today, but what do you want to tell the queen mother?" As soon as Cheng Qian entered Shou'an Palace, the Queen Mother noticed his excited look, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Queen Mother!" Cheng Qian held his chin in his hand and opened his mouth in a good mood: "Qian'er wants to accept a concubine!" ”

A trace of astonishment flashed on the Queen Mother's face: "A few days ago, you still refused to let you take a concubine, why did you take the initiative to mention it now?" ”

"Qian'er...... Qian'er is happy with a girl. He looked into the queen's eyes, and there was not a trace of impurity in them.

The Queen Mother was stunned. After a while, she slowly spoke: "Huang'er, taking a concubine is the emperor's own business, who do you like, as long as her family background is innocent, she can be accepted into the palace." But you have to remember that born in the emperor's family, the emperor can't have too much affection for the concubine, and even more so the rain and dew, can the emperor understand? ”

Cheng Qian smiled shyly: "Queen Mother, she is the righteous daughter of the Gu Mansion, and she has no relatives in the imperial capital, so she has to trouble the queen mother and worry about her." Choose a big family and let her be justified. ”

A little consternation flashed on the queen mother's face, and she was suddenly relieved: "That's it, since the emperor likes it, then just find an opportunity to take it into the palace." As for the matter of belonging to her mother's family, according to the mourning family, the mourning family has seen the woman first, and then make a decision. ”

"Erchen will first thank his mother instead of Miss Su."

......

Early the next morning, as soon as Su Wenmei finished washing, she received an edict from the Queen Mother.

Aunt Shuyun, who was beside the Queen Mother, came to announce the will, and after reading it, Bing'er looked at Su Wenmei with a happy face.

"Miss Su, it's not too early, the old slave still has to go back to the palace to serve the Queen Mother. Miss Su is ready to prepare, so let's go to Shou'an Palace to meet the Queen Mother. Aunt Shu Yun said to Su Wenmei with a smile.

"There is Aunt Lao Shuyun. Wen Mei was ready to prepare, and then went to Shou'an Palace. Su Wenmei made a salute and sent Aunt Shuyun out.

"Miss, slave maid, look, the emperor is really good to Miss! On the Queen Mother's side, the emperor must have said it. Bing'er helped Su Wenmei into the dormitory and took off the slightly plain silver hairpin on her head: "What is Miss going to wear to see the Queen Mother today?" ”

When you go to the palace, you can't be too plain; Go to see the Queen Mother, and you can't be too glamorous. Su Wenmei's usual clothes are plain white, so it is a little difficult to choose.

In the end, Su Wenmei chose a gold-edged cotton wool white coat, with a pale yellow skirt, and a hairpin full of gold and jade, and then went out.

Bing'er and Su Wenmei shared a sedan car. On the sedan chair, Bing'er looked at Su Wenmei, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it-Miss is really a cold and charming person, no wonder the emperor likes it so much.

"What do you see me doing? Is my face rouge scattered? Su Wenmei noticed Bing'er's eyes, and as she spoke, she reached out and wiped her face.

"Nope." Bing'er shook her head and said, "The slave maid is looking at the young lady so beautiful, and she lost her mind for a while. Miss is so beautiful, no wonder the emperor can't put it down for you. ”

"Nonsense!" Su Wenmei smiled and glanced at her with some disgust: "Don't let others listen to your words." If others hear it, they will criticize it. ”

"Penang got it. Bing'er is only in front of the young lady, so open-mouthed! The two laughed all the way and came to the noon gate in a sedan chair.

When the curtain was lifted, there was a father-in-law waiting on the side: "But Miss Su from the Gu Mansion?" ”

"Yes." Su Wenmei got out of the sedan chair and nodded slightly to her waiting father-in-law.

"The slave's name is Zhou Xi, the Queen Mother specially instructed the slave, Miss Su has just arrived, she doesn't know the way, and she will be taken to Shou'an Palace by the small one."

"Then it will be bothering my father-in-law." Su Wenmei said and followed behind Zhou Xi's father-in-law.

Shou'an Palace.

As soon as Su Wenmei entered the hall, the Queen Mother saw her, and when she saw Su Wenmei's face clearly, the Queen Mother only felt numb from head to toe, and her expression changed dramatically in an instant, and she sat up from the chair in a little panic.

The wife of the Marquis of Zhongwu, she has seen it, the woman who has just stepped into the Shou'an Palace, and the wife of the Marquis of Zhongwu, Xu Shuyi, is also seven points similar, especially those big and charming eyes! If there is any difference between the two, it is probably - the woman in front of her, with a small chin, adds a touch of charm.

But at the beginning, the first emperor liked Xu Shuyi in the end.

Su Wenmei also noticed the Queen Mother's reaction, but she wasn't sure why, so she had to pretend to be calm and walked up to the Queen Mother: "Little girl Su Wenmei, meet the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother stabilized her mind a little and sat down slowly: "Get up." ”

"Is there still the honey and red date cake sent by Concubine Xian yesterday? Shu Yun, you go and get some for the mourning family. The Queen Mother commanded.

"Yes." Shu Yun turned around and entered the small kitchen.

"Miss Su is the righteous daughter of the Gu Mansion?" The Queen Mother paused, but couldn't help but ask: "What is the relationship with other families?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the folk girl used to be just a cloth dress, but thanks to the old lady Gu, she became the righteous daughter of the Gu Mansion. As for the other involved...... Su Wenmei looked at the Queen Mother with a smile and shook her head: "No more." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, leaned back with her back, and leaned slightly on the Taishi's chair.

"The mourning family heard from the emperor yesterday that the emperor wanted to take Miss Su into the palace. What does Miss Su think about this? ”

When Su Wenmei heard this, she understood half of it in her heart, this was the Queen Mother's temptation of her. She got up and knelt down to salute, bowed her head, and looked respectful: "The little girl is a cloth dress, thanks to the emperor's love, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything else, everything is up to the queen mother and the emperor, and the little girl is just on orders." ”

has a deferential voice, not like a difficult person to control, and the sharp-toothed Xu Shuyi, who has a completely different personality. When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt that she was thinking too much, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "The mourning family heard that the peony flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, you can accompany the mourning family for a walk." The Queen Mother said, stood up, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Yes." Su Wenmei also got up and helped the Queen Mother up.

At this time, Cheng Qian was in the previous dynasty and finished discussing political affairs, but saw that Su Jinnian was reluctant to leave.

Su Jinnian is just a soldier in the military department, usually standing in the crowd and rarely speaking, inconspicuous.

Cheng Qian saw that he was delayed in leaving: "It's all gone, why don't you leave?" But something important to do? ”

"Back to the emperor." Su Jinnian said: "Three years ago, my uncle was angry with the first emperor Long Yan because he interfered in the family affairs of the first emperor without authorization, so he beheaded Yu Wumen, and Weichen's aunt and sister were too worried and followed. It's just that now Weichen's grandmother, because of overthinking, misses Weichen's deceased sister more and more. ”

Su Jinnian paused: "Su Wenmei, the righteous daughter of the Gu Mansion, looks a little similar to Weichen's aunt, so my grandmother has a heart disease and wants to recognize Miss Su as a clansman." After Su Jinnian finished speaking, he kowtowed to the emperor: "If the emperor needs something, Su Fu will follow his orders!" ”。

Cheng Qian was overjoyed, but he was also invisible: "I know, you go down." ”

"Wait!" Cheng Qian said, and ordered Xiao Lizi to bring the two jars of Yanjin plums in the hall: "The old lady misses her relatives, but she also has to pay attention to her body, this is a little bit of my heart for the old lady Su, and I ask the waiter to bring it." ”
