Chapter 11: Marriage (2)
The handkerchief was taken back in the afternoon, and there were no other items attached, but it was really not Zong Zhengxu's style, it seems that he must have understood what I meant.
Unfolding the handkerchief, he Guo connected "Don't wait for no flowers and empty branches" underneath, and then hooked a flower, I don't know if it came from his hand.
This reply was expected by me, and there was an indescribable emotion in my heart that could be regarded as a pity, and I glanced at Lan Tang who was waiting on the side, and handed her back the handkerchief: "Take it back, if you don't dislike the inscription on it." β
Lan Tang was obviously stunned, took it in a daze, and said suspiciously: "Emperor Ji ......" "This veil has been used for me, and the natural things have returned to their original owners." I lifted up my eyes to her, "Stay or forsake it, it's up to you." β
Only then did I react, and even if I restrained myself, I could still see her joy: "Thank you, Emperor." Seeing her caress unconsciously, I looked away, because I knew that her next look might not continue: "Stand down if you have nothing to do." In addition, the Japanese emperor will go to visit the concubine. β
All the way to the Xuecao Palace, I haven't had time to look at the prosperity of the palace, and I have seen the figure of Tingting woman standing in front of the palace gate.
Today I just simply curled a hanging bun, the sideburns decoration only obliquely into the pearl tassel peacock swaying, upright and just want to bless the body, has not yet bowed to have been lifted up by the concubine.
With skin like clotted fat and teeth like a rhino, Concubine Shu smiled: "Emperor Lingyue doesn't have to be like this. Counting it, this palace and you can also be called an aunt and nephew, so you can be separated when you see the outside. β
"That month, Mu had the courage to call Concubine Shuniang, auntie." I smiled lightly, sat down on the soft couch with the concubine, and each held the teacup.
It is worthy of being the lord of the first house and one of the four concubines in the night. It not only has the quality of green frost color, the fragrance contains the coldness of autumn dew, but also has light eyebrows like autumn water, and the jade skin is accompanied by the high cleanliness of the breeze. Such a captivating posture is peerless, and I am afraid that it is a few points better than the Queen of the Night.
I don't remember the original name of Concubine Shu, but I know that she was born by one of the most beloved concubines of Emperor Lianghong, who was quite favored when he was alive. It's just that good luck was not long, when the emperor died at the age of thirteen, her mother and daughter lost their protective umbrella, and they could only be humiliated by the current queen mother. In another year, Concubine Shu's mother passed away, and in the same year, Meng Deng brought Zong Zheng Gengfu and other ministers to Lianghong, and the wine banquet was pushed and the cup was changed, and the fate of Concubine Shu was decided.
Isn't this the so-called "the same person who has fallen from the end of the world"? At the age of fourteen, he was forced to the night, one was a friend and the other was a pledge, and he was a son who would be abandoned, and it would be difficult to return to his hometown in this life...... Concubine Shu has spent another fourteen years in the night. If it weren't for Fanjin being by her side all the time, it would be unknown whether she would have been able to hold on until now. If I hadn't known Zong Zhengxu, would my fate be the same as hers?
ββ¦β¦ Yuemu? "I was thinking about my thoughts, and Concubine Shu called me back to my senses several times, only to see that the rest of the room had been dismissed. She smiled unmindingly, and reached out to help the step shake on my hair: "This palace looks at this pearl tassel peacock step shake is very suitable for you to wear, but you still like it?" β
I suddenly came to my senses, and the sympathy of the same illness and the joy of reuniting with my loved ones were all disillusioned. can spend fourteen years in the harem of another country unharmed and have a daughter, how can Concubine Shu be simple, how can she not guess my intentions for coming today, and how can she really care about me because of the so-called family affection.
laughing at myself for being stupid and naΓ―ve, I took the step off and handed it over in her puzzled gaze: "Actually, Yuemu is here today because of this step. It is given to the mother by the emperor, and it is very loved by the mother, so she should not accept it in her affection. After a long time, I came back to my mother, and it was Yue Mu's negligence. β
"Where is this to say, don't be born." I still insisted on stretching out my hand, and Concubine Shu took it, raised it in front of her eyes, lowered her eyes slightly to look at me, and her eyes were charming and natural, which was the appearance of a woman in the palace that I was used to: "It's just that how does Yue Mu know that this is given by the emperor and loved by this palace?" β
I lowered my eyelids and chuckled: "This pearl tassel peacock step shake is exquisitely made, the materials are excellent, look at the style - forgive Yuemu bluntly - according to the position of the mother, it may not be available, it must be a gift from the emperor." And if it weren't for the mother's love and often playing with it, how could such treasures reveal their old state? What's more, when Yue Mu heard this, "I deliberately paused for a moment, and I made a hesitant gesture," Emperor Fanjin seems to have always wanted this pearl to shake, which shows its preciousness. 'Low branches brush the embroidered collar, and move Yaoying in micro steps', Yuemu didn't dare to take advantage of others, which was also a major reason for returning it. β
This "hearsay" is naturally a codification, but who cares. Concubine Shu was not surprised, and the topic naturally transitioned from her sigh to the main topic we were going to talk about: "I am upset when I mention the Prosperous Palace. Presumably Yuemu, you have also heard that this girl Fanjin has been making a fuss about marrying Zong Zhengxu, the son of the prime minister, recently. As a daughter's family, she said this openly, I really don't know what to say about her. β
Yue Mu thought that this news was just a rumor from others, but he didn't think it was true? That's really going to congratulate the mother. We knowingly asked each other tricks, and we didn't know how much truth and falsehood we had between the words: "First, Emperor Fanjin has found a good husband and a good home, and she will have no worries in her future life." Second," I pretended to look out cautiously and leaned over to Concubine Shu, "In this way, the prime minister of the sect is equivalent to the backing of the mother, and the invisible help." Even if you don't talk about promotion, Niangniang can live more comfortably in this pan-night harem. β
"Yue Mu is the agreed candidate of the Lianghong court, and if he can come to the night to maintain the intersection between the two countries, he must be a smart person, not to mention that this palace and you have a layer of family affection." Xu is tired, Xu is reluctant to perform anymore, in short, in my opinion, Concubine Shu is a little uncontrollable: "Although the palace has lived in the deep palace for a long time, I don't know everything about the night court." Can't Yue Mu distinguish the real person in charge of the night? β
This answer was really unexpected to me. Fanjin wants to marry Zong Zhengxu, Meng Deng needless to say that he must be opposed, what Concubine Shu said is upset, in my mind, there are only two possibilities. One is that she is willing to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Meng Deng does not allow it; The two are that she has a neutral attitude towards this matter, and she is caught between Meng Deng and Fanjin.
Knowing the power of Zong Zhenggeng's father and son, she should not have the idea of refusing to marry Zong Zhengxu. The deep palace is several times, and it is in another country, it is normal for the concubine not to know about the night court. And she not only knew it, but also had to ask me rhetorical questions. If it is said that she colluded with the previous dynasty, looking at the night, only Zongzheng Gengfu's father and son had the courage to collude with the harem concubines. But if this is the case, things will be much simpler, and Zong Zhengxu will definitely not go to me again. From this point of view, Concubine Shu most likely deduced this conclusion by herself by observing her face and appearance on weekdays.
This woman ...... It's not easy.
