Chapter 794 - Long Love Chapter 795 - The Cause of the Flood?

The imperial concubine agreed, as she said, she just wanted to do her best, she knew the rules in the palace better than Hongluan, so naturally she would not embarrass Hongluan. And the fruit snacks were not prepared with Hongluan, she had already brought them by herself, and they were placed in front of the plum tree at the moment; The imperial concubine turned around: "Rong Bengong and the Mei sisters said a few words, please go over there and wait for the palace, just for a while." ”

Hongluan saluted and took a few steps back, turned around and walked away, and walked dozens of steps before turning around and standing up waiting for the imperial concubine, there was no impatience or anxiety on his face, just calmly staring at the imperial concubine who was standing quietly in the snow.

With the dignity of the emperor and concubine, of course she will not salute the two dead palace people, and she is already very hearted to be able to put a few plates of fruit and snacks: what year did the palace people not die, and when did there be fewer loyal people who died for the Lord? But those who can remember to offer a few plates of fruit and snacks like the imperial concubine can be said to be no one else except the imperial concubine.

The Empress Concubine's body was straight, and she stood motionless in front of Merlin alone, not knowing whether she was remembering or being sentimental, and only after standing like that for a long time did she see her turn around; Her people immediately rushed over to serve her and helped her to walk to Hongluan.

"Let Concubine Chun wait for a long time." The crown princess's voice was a little hoarse, her eyes were still a little wet and sobbing, and even the makeup on her face showed tear stains, it seemed that she really missed the Mei sisters very much: "Let's go back, it's really too cold on this snowy day when the wind blows." ”

The footprints of the Empress Dowager and Hongluan were left in the snow, but soon these footprints became shallower and shallow, and finally disappeared into the snow covered by heavy snow. It's like the thousands of palace eunuchs in the palace, most of them have disappeared into time like those footprints, and they haven't even left a name; The Mei sisters, if it weren't for the eminent status of the imperial concubine today, they would have been buried deep in Bao Liangyi's heart until no one remembered her after her death, right? No mistakes in many words

After returning to the Chenglu Palace, the imperial concubine did not sit for a long time, and left after eating a bowl of ginger soup: and she did not see the palace grandmother from beginning to end.

After she left Qinglu Palace, she asked the girl Chun Tao next to her: "Have you seen the grandmother in Qinglu Palace?" "There are one or two grandmothers in every palace, and there are no need to do things for different grandmothers, as long as they follow the master closely and serve; But there are female officials, palace people, and eunuchs around Concubine Chun, but she doesn't see her grandmother, which of course makes her a little confused.

Chun Tao owed: "Yes." It's just that the grandmother of Qinglu Palace is very busy, the inner room of Qinglu Palace, external affairs, whether it is a palace person or a eunuch, you have to consult that grandmother, and she is so busy that she can stop? It seems that the pure concubine Niangniang doesn't know that Mama can't be called like this, and next time she can remind the pure concubine Niangniang, so as not to be criticized. ”

"Well, to remind her." The Empress Dowager sighed: "Qinglu Palace is a place of right and wrong, she is very relieved ......" As she spoke, their master and servant walked away and gradually disappeared into the wind and snow.

At this time, the face of Hongluan on the Chenglu Hall changed greatly and kept pouring tea, and Ren Gong Mama, Liu Er and others didn't speak when they asked her, but their eyes looked straight at the wind and snow outside the window, and she saw the direction where the plum blossoms were.

Mei Xiang, the younger sister of the Mei sisters, has the same name as her mother, but her mother's maiden name is not Mei but Ji; But her mother will play all the ties of the imperial concubine, and also have that kind of network, although the imperial concubine did not say that the kind of network is only the two Mei sisters, but since then there is no such delicate thing in the palace, that is, no one will know that kind of trick.

Was her mother a palace person? Hongluan was shocked, and then thought of the big water in her hometown, her body was cold, if she guessed seriously, the big water was not simple, and it was not their family's grudge, it was related to the death of the concubine - if her mother was born in the palace, their family and the people of ten miles and eight towns were killed because of this, it was absolutely impossible because of her mother.

A palace person is really not worthy of someone doing this for her, and there are many ways to kill people and kill people, for the person who did it, how to use this method that affects countless innocent people? Even if it's to hide people's eyes, isn't there a better way? The more she knew, the more questions she had.

Seeing the worried eyes of Mama Gong and the others, Hongluan forced a smile to herself: "I'm fine, let Mama stay, you go and do your business, don't let people see the abnormality of Qinglu Palace." Seeing Liu Er and the others go out with worry, she took a long breath and looked at Mama Gong: "Does Mama know about the concubine?" ”

Seeing that Hongluan was willing to speak, Mama Gong relieved herself: "I know something, but the mother wants to know?" ”

Hongluan was silent for a while: "The personal palace people next to her are twin sons, surnamed Mei, and they were like sisters to the imperial concubine back then, aren't they?" ”

Gong Mama smiled bitterly: "Niangniang, the old slave doesn't know everything, the whole concubine of the Chenglu Palace still knows, and the old slave who is close to the palace people around her really doesn't know much; Even if they were extremely prestigious in the palace at that time, and they were very liked by the emperor, they were always just palace people, where would the old slaves stare at them? I really don't know who they are very good with the old slave, but when the emperor and concubine first entered the palace, they gave us the Ganquan Hall in our palace, and she and the concubines couldn't be compared at that time. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Hongluan: "Do you want to know about the concubine, or do you want to know about the palace people around her?" The two palace people later died, one drowned in the lake, and the other burned to death in the small stove room of the imperial dining room, except for knowing that they were known to everyone in the palace because of their skillful hands, the other old slaves really did not know. ”

Hongluan crouched on the table: "I want to know, can Mama not ask me why?" Just like I don't ask my grandmother to hate the Shangguan family and hate the empress dowager. Everyone has their own secrets, it's not that they won't say it, it's just, well, it's not time yet. ”

The palace grandmother was silent for a while when she heard this: "The original imperial concubine entered the palace, because the queen and the concubines were there, she was an unknown person at all, and many palace people and eunuchs in the palace did not know that there was a royal maid living in the Ganquan Hall of Chenglu Palace. The first emperor's favorite was the concubine on the surface, but in fact it should be the first queen, right? There are many words since the first queen died of illness, the first emperor regardless of the hundred officials, the empress dowager said, but he refused to set up another queen, so far he has only one queen. ”

"Almost most of the concubines were favored by the first emperor with the help of the Mei sisters around them, according to the old slave, the first emperor made the most favored concubines, just to give the queen mother an explanation; His mother is filial piety, but he has always refused to give in to the affairs of the Shangguan family, that is, he is the queen, and he does not let the people surnamed Shangguan enter the harem at all. Mama Gong sat down and fell into those long-ago past: "I really favored the concubine after the concubine and the Shangguan family were incompatible. ”

Chapter 795: The Cause of the Flood?

Hongluan knew that the concubine broke with the Shangguan family because of her father's death, so she became one with the queen and the emperor, and was no longer at the mercy of the empress dowager: "Why will it break up?" ”

"The people of the Shangguan family can't enter the palace, how can the Shangguan family be willing?" Mama Gong pouted: "Those people picked a few women to enter the palace as concubines, and supported them to become concubines in the palace, but they also wanted them to think of ways to persuade the first emperor to tolerate the women of the Shangguan family." The Shangguan family is also prepared, if there is no one from the Shangguan family who has entered the palace, then they will have to join forces with the concubines sent to the palace, in order not to worry about raising tigers, of course, the woman they chose is not very prominent. ”

"It's just that entering the palace as a concubine is, of course, you have to be innocent, so the father of the concubine is just a small seven-rank official, and he has no power in Beijing; His seven-rank official also took refuge in the Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family learned that his daughter was good-looking, saying that he was going to be sent to the mansion to accompany the daughter of the Shangguan family for a few days, and then he took a fancy to the concubine and informed his father to prepare for his daughter's entry into the palace draft. ”

"I heard that the two girls around the concubine were orphan girls picked up by their father outside, and the family treated them very well, not only was the female celebrity excellent and could read and write hyphens, but they were also favored by the Shangguan family and sent to the palace, just to make them the arms of the concubine. Even if a concubine like Quan is a concubine, or even the queen is not a pawn of the Shangguan family? Mama Gong sighed: "It's a pity that the concubine doesn't want to be a chess piece, and the concubine's father is a powerful character." ”

Hongluan's heart suddenly moved when he heard this: "Draft" King Kang proposed to draft the draft, does he want to send people to the palace or speak on behalf of the Shangguan family, and open the mouth to the Shangguan family to let them send people to the palace? The Shangguan family didn't control the concubines back then, do they dare to use this method again?

Foolish people are easy to control, but they can't get ahead in the palace; Smart people are not easy to control, and it is easy to get ahead, but after having power and status, they are unwilling to be governed; The Shangguan family shouldn't use such a stupid method, right? After all, people's hearts are the most difficult to control, and no one will be willing to make a wedding dress for others. Don't say it's a person with his surname, just see if Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui also tore their faces with the concubines for themselves?

Mama Gong nodded: "There is this possibility, although the Shangguan family's efforts on the concubines were in vain, the other two people were still successful." Now those two people are still in the cold palace, and the old slave happened to pass by a few days ago to see that they were still alive and well, but they were very open-minded people. ”

After Hongluan looked at Mama Gong speechless for a long time, her heart was uncomfortable: Prince Kang won't be like this, right? There are many words that are not wrong, and once upon a time he also said to her that he just wanted the three brothers to be as happy as before, and he didn't want to see King Fu and the emperor turn against each other.

"Let's talk about all the concubines." She exhaled turbidity: "What should come will always come, and we don't have to worry too early about not being able to get along with ourselves." Did the concubine's father die at the hands of the Shangguan family? Otherwise, it would be impossible for the concubines to be at odds with their father and the Shangguan family. ”

Mama Gong sighed: "For the sake of the word, killing people and setting fires are trivial matters, and there are even more unconscionable things you don't know." The concubine's father is a very shrewd and powerful person, after the concubine entered the palace, he served the Shangguan family with all his heart and soul, and won the trust of the Shangguan family, but on the other hand, he carefully arranged and secretly exerted his strength, and finally had the opportunity to let the emperor see his ability to be an errand, and because of the concubine, he jumped to the sky and became a marquis. ”

Hongluan smiled: "Shangguan's family is not lightly angry, they absolutely cannot tolerate being deceived and playing with them in the palm of their hands; So, they killed the concubine's father? ”

"Yes." Mama Gong nodded and then shook her head: "It's hard to explain this matter clearly, because there are all kinds of rumors." The father of the concubine was given death by the emperor's decree, and the concubine was already a concubine and was degraded to a concubine because of this. ”

Hongluan's eyes widened when he heard this: "Shouldn't the concubine hate the emperor?" How could he break with the Shangguan family? ”

Gong Mama smiled bitterly: "Niangniang, most of what the old slave knows is what he heard, and what he said earlier is almost universally recognized, but later these cannot be confirmed, and most of the statements are like this - the rain was very heavy that year, and the first emperor was very worried that the Shangguan family recommended the father of the concubine to inspect the flood disaster. It's also pitiful, in the summer, although the river water soared in the past, because the concubine's father was a capable official, there was no flood. ”

The first emperor was very happy, so he praised the father of the concubine, and promised that when he returned, he would personally crown him as a prince. However, on the second or third day after the decree was issued, there was a flood, and I heard that the flood was so terrible that few people survived, and several states and counties were empty. Mama Gong sighed: "Therefore, the first emperor was furious and asked people to investigate thoroughly, believing that it was the dereliction of duty of the concubine's father, and the silver of the berm was deducted in order to give an explanation to the people of the world, so he beheaded the father of the concubine at the place where the embankment broke." ”

Hongluan's face turned pale, and she reached out and grabbed Mama Gong's hand: "That's, that's the time?" Then she smiled and let go of Mama Gong's hand: "I'm stupid, the concubine has been dead for more than ten years......"

"Nope." Mama Gong lowered her voice: "That's someone in the palace who deliberately misled, in fact, the concubine has not been dead for many years; If you think about the emperor's age, he still remembers the matter of the first empress, when the first empress and the concubines died within a year, so the first emperor's body collapsed all of a sudden. ”

Hongluan's face was shockingly white again: "Then, when did the concubine die, where did the flood occur, and what year did it happen?" Her voice trembled.

Mama Gong thought about it and calculated it before saying: "You should be seven or eight years old in the year when the flood was made, and the concubine died in the next half a year, and it will be less than ten years to be full today." That's because the Empress Dowager has done too many bad things, and deliberately makes people talk nonsense. In the palace, rumors have always spread quickly, especially if the masters don't want people to mention it but don't explicitly order it to be sealed, then the rumors will be known to the people in the palace within a few days. ”

"The difference between the death of the concubine and the queen is less than four months, there are all kinds of rumors, the queen is being asked for her life by the soul of the concubine, the concubine is because she is competing for favor with the queen, and the queen pretends to be good with her and is finally recognized by the queen, and let her steal the chicken and lose her life, anyway; Later, the people who served the concubines and the queen also died and walked, and there was almost nothing left, and during this period, because the empress dowager made a favor for the first emperor, many palace people in the palace were released. ”

The second is sent on time to seek all kinds of support from relatives
