Chapter 917: Palace Resentment
Chapter 917: Palace Resentment
Concubine Rou disappeared in the palace like this, and everyone didn't know until the next morning. But she didn't stop in the palace, she was directly sent to the emperor by the emperor, and even the position was seized, which made the people in the palace speculate; But Concubine Xian didn't speak, and the Zhao family didn't plead, so naturally no one would stand up for Concubine Rou.
The biggest thing in the foreign dynasty today is that most of the people of the Zhao family died, and the people of the Yamen concluded that they were all poisoned to death and not killed but committed suicide; The strangest thing is that there are not many people in the court who have died in the Zhao family, and there are many people who remain silent, and after a while, this matter has been replaced by other things, and no one mentions it again.
Three days later, Concubine Rou was hastily buried, and the emperor decreed that the Zhao family should be condemned, and the Zhao family who were still alive could stay in the court to do things, and it was also the emperor's grace to let them wear the crime and be on an errand; This incident did not make the people of the Hu family happy, and some people in the palace were panicked all of a sudden, and everyone was a little self-assured.
There is no shortage of people in the palace and in the court who have very bright eyes, seeing that Concubine Xian is safe and sound in Qingping Palace, and there is also a will to appease her and reward her with a pair of golden hairpins, they all know that the Zhao family has not fallen and will not fall. So whether it is in the palace or in the court, they are very polite to the people of the Zhao family.
Only a few people know the cause of Concubine Rou's death, and some people guessed it but didn't dare to say it. In the end, the death of the first queen was related to the negligence of the first emperor, so the emperor punished the culprit but did not explain the matter, and people in the know guessed that eighty percent was related to the first emperor.
The palace calmed down in this way, and the storm that some people thought would happen did not happen.
Qinglu Palace is still as busy as before, but Concubine Chun has to sleep for two hours during the day, and most of the rest of the time is to talk and laugh with the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Xian and others, and most of the affairs in the palace are taken care of by Concubine Xian. The most incomprehensible thing for people in the palace is Concubine Hui, she is now honest and well-behaved, almost without leaving the door, even if someone invites her, she can push it.
Nearly two months passed quietly, and when the midsummer came, Hongluan, the emperor, the emperor and the concubines wanted to leave Beijing to escape the summer.
Hongluan is now almost six months pregnant, and she likes to sleep more and more, and she cares less about things in the palace. However, there is nothing to take care of in the palace, and the silence almost makes people feel bored.
The palace is much cooler, but it makes Hongluan sleep more peacefully, and people often come to visit her to see if she is sleeping or has just woken up; The imperial concubine looked at her and stopped talking, and only then did she say it under the urging of Hongluan: "Look at you like this, in the old saying in the palace, eighty percent will be a daughter." ”
Hongluan was very happy when she heard this, and held the hand of the imperial concubine: "Really? "She hopes to have a daughter, and she has to worry less about having a daughter.
The Empress Guifei looked at the surprise on Hongluan's face and shook her head: "Pure concubine, you are not a newcomer to the palace, you must know how important it is to have a son." She looked at the Seventh Highness who was accompanied by Liu Er and others outside the hall: "You, don't always be so willful. ”
Hongluan suddenly screamed, took the hand of the imperial concubine and put it on her stomach: "She kicked me, she kicked me." She must have been unhappy when she heard her mother's words, and her daughter's family also had the benefits of her daughter's family; Isn't it? She kicked again, do you feel it? "No mistakes, no skipping words.
The face of the imperial concubine was not sad or joyful, and there was a somewhat dazed look; Feeling the presence of a little life under the palm of her hand, her eyes moistened, remembering the loss of a son and a daughter; Once, her first child was also a daughter, although she had lost it, but she loved it as much as life, because it was the flesh that fell from her.
If Concubine Chun was really a daughter in her first birth, she would really be a bit like her; She thought wildly in her heart, and the little life under the palm of her hand through several layers of clothes moved so violently as if, as if it was greeting her, and she was a little reluctant to take it away: once, when her son was in her belly, he moved it to surprise her so much.
"Yes, my daughter's family is also good as my daughter's family." The Empress Dowager blinked her eyes and held back her tears, and lowered her head slightly to cover her gaffe: "As long as it is the flesh on our bodies, it is good whether it is a son or a daughter." ”
Hongluan saw the tears faintly flashing in her eyes, and thought of her lost children and other thoughts, and suddenly her heart moved: "If Niangniang doesn't think she is a girl, she will come to see her often in the future; I think she seems to like Niangniang very much, and now she is really happy. ”
When the imperial concubine heard this, she felt it again, withdrew her palm and smiled: "Really." She was really a little reluctant, and for the first time she wanted to see this little guy, and she didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, and what she looked like. Then she picked up the female red and continued: "Pure concubine, you don't know what the child is like when she is born, right?" I'll tell you, that's ugly, ugly......"
It's not a good thing to have one more enemy in the palace, but fortunately, the imperial concubine has not directly harmed Hongluan, and Hongluan doesn't want to be an enemy with the imperial concubine one day. There is really no shortage of enemies in the palace, but it is not easy to have a friend, and the imperial concubine is also from her hometown, so she really wants to get along with the imperial concubine like this.
It doesn't matter if you're not close, as long as you don't turn against each other. Her hometown is no one anymore, and it is really not easy to have a hometown in the distant capital and in the palace.
On this day, Hongluan found that the imperial concubine seemed to be very careful in needlework, and the embroidery made the bat with a sense of joy.
In the afternoon, the emperor came, and he should still be in the imperial study at this hour, but he didn't want to go back to the harem to make Hongluan think that there was something moving in the Hu family, but it turned out to be just a false alarm. In addition to Gu Anping, there was also a man who followed the emperor in.
Hongluan looked at the man after making sure that there was nothing to do in the previous dynasty, and was stunned on the spot for a moment, unable to move again: no one said that he looked seven points like her father, and she also knew who this person was - it was her uncle, the last male of the martial family, Wu Wende.
Wu Wende looked at Hongluan, and tears flashed in his eyes, but he had experienced too many things in the world, so he quickly packed up his mood and saluted, calling himself a pure concubine.
The emperor sat down and gave Wu Wende a seat: "Sit down." Today is only about family gifts, you don't have to be too restrained. Luan'er, I've always missed you very much, but when you suddenly left Fuwang's Mansion and didn't know where to go, I didn't dare to mention it to Luan'er, for fear that she would be too anxious and hurt herself. ”
Only then did Hongluan know why Wu Wende had only come to see him now, and he also understood why King Fu and the Han family had rarely entered the palace recently, just because they were afraid that they would urge them; After she mentioned that she wanted to meet the people of the martial family, the emperor did not let King Fu bring people into the palace, she thought that there might be any inconvenience, or maybe there was some secret of the martial family? Anyway, the emperor didn't bring anyone here, so she didn't force it, just patiently waited for the opportunity.
She thought that when the child was born, she would ask for it again if she didn't bring anyone into the palace; At that time, for the sake of the child, why can't the emperor refuse her again, right? There are many words without mistakes, even if they refuse, the emperor has to give an answer, and what can't be so unclear is not to let her meet with the people of the martial family.
Wu Wende looked at Hongluan: "I'm going to look for someone from my family." After he finished speaking, he paused and looked up again: "It's a pity that there are not many people who can be found alive, and there are less than twenty people together." Settle them down so that they can feed themselves before I come back. ”
"I've been to your house." He looked at Hongluan and nodded: "I can know your mood, but none of the people in the martial arts family are of a bad breed, and you are not ashamed of the blood of the martial arts family." There, I found nothing, not even your former home; However, I know that my brother and sister-in-law lived there because of the herb and the craft he taught them. ”
Hongluan's tears fell, and he fell to the ground and fell on Wu Wende's lap and cried: "Uncle, uncle, they are all dead, they are all dead. "She was alone for many years, when she was a child, but she had to face the death of her parents alone, and no one could cry, because no one would have the same grief as her.
Wu Wende patted Hongluan gently: "You have to pay attention to your body, don't cry so badly." Our warriors can have tears, but they must also be paid by the blood of the enemy. ”
Hongluan looked up: "Yes, Uncle is right." She slowly got up and tidied up her dress and saluted Wu Wende seriously: "Luan'er has seen my uncle." "She finally has a loved one in the world.
After Wu Wende received the salute, he returned the half-salute, but now Hongluan is not only his niece but also the royal concubine, and the half-salute is a respect for the royal family: "You don't know about your parents yet, right?" There are many words that the martial arts family has been hiding in Tibet for so many years, and now they finally don't have to hide anymore, but your parents didn't wait. ”
Hongluan is the descendant of Empress Wu, and he is also a descendant: the descendant at this time is no longer the descendant of the year, several of them were hunted down and killed, and he was succeeded several times from the side branches; Her mother was Mei Ling of the Ganlu Hall back then, and when she fell into the water and said that she was drowned, she didn't really die, she woke up in the process of tossing out of the palace, and just in time for the martial brothers who came to pick up the body, so she escaped with her life.
Because Mei Xiang died in the palace, Mei Ling lived in the world under the name of Mei Xiang, which means to live for her sister, and married Hongluan's father.
The Meixiang sisters didn't offend anyone, they could only blame them for their ingenuity to attract envy, and they did so much for their master's concubines, so they were victimized: they were just to deal with the concubines - everyone in the palace thought so at the time, but the truth was not like this.
The people who really wanted to kill the Meixiang sisters also included all the concubines, because the first emperor really liked their sisters very much, and they wanted to be lucky several times, and the queen also strongly agreed, saying that their sisters were really very good people: how many people can be in the palace who can win the emperor's favor? But the Meixiang sisters didn't have this idea, and the first emperor was not a lustful person, and after learning that one of the two sisters had a marriage contract, he generously said that he wanted to let him marry in style, and he was not prejudiced against the Wu family.
The first emperor and the first empress meant that it was the same for the Mei sisters to leave one in the palace, and they intended to seal it as Zhaorong: but I don't know who came out of this. Needless to say, the two sisters were framed and died.
Hongluan frowned slightly: "Just because of the palace grudge?" She felt that her mother was so careful in her words and deeds, and it couldn't be as simple as a palace grudge.
