Chapter 53: The Concubine

During the begging festival, Mu Beiyi read and saw the new church, and an official workshop in the north city of Cile was used by the teachers to live and practice, which was called Jiyin Fang.

On the same day, Li Zhenchun also received a letter from home. At noon, she lazily curled up in the mat and moved, flirted with a fan, and carefully read the letter to the window.

The daughter born to the eldest sister-in-law just learned to speak, and the second sister-in-law Yao got another body. There were a few days of drought in June, and there were a few wanderers outside Lejing. The second brother Lingjun was transferred to suppress the bandits, and he showed heroism and killed ten enemies. At the beginning of July, he was promoted to the position of team leader. Pillow Chun was happy, so she sat up and asked Peach Blossom Cool Glutinous Rice Ice Balls for her to eat.

The letter also said that Ji Zhaoye, who was recommended by Pillow Chun, has now been incorporated into the new team of Zhichong Mansion, and he is very diligent, and the second brother often takes care of him.

He also said that the eldest brother was the main secretary in Zhongshu Province, although the Zhongshu made Liu Cifu difficult to get along with, but His Majesty still appreciated the eldest brother very much and often praised him.

Pillow Chun saw this, where he was not happy, so he also ate a few more glutinous rice ice balls. In this way, there will be no more food to eat at the Tanabata banquet at night.

This year's Qixi banquet was very harmonious, and Concubine Qi presided over the overall situation, looking like a harmonious faction.

also because the imperial concubine Shi has not arrived, she can't get up anymore.

It is said that because of lack of health, she was pregnant with twins again. Shi's belly was bigger than usual in July and August, and the imperial doctor looked at the pulse and said that nine times out of ten it was a pair of imperial heirs. Mu Beiyi was very happy to hear this, and he had already given Queen Shi the use, and went to accompany him from time to time. Shi Shi has not been very stable since he saw the red in April, and he asked the doctor who is good at conditioning from the Tai Hospital to formulate the formula two times in three days. Those who are good at raising and raising bad ones are always sitting firm. Now it's rare to see Shi Shi come out and walk around, who doesn't know that her belly is the first thing in the palace.

Compared with the battle of the Shi clan, the jade noble Meng clan appeared to be lacking in grace.

Mu Beiyi was devoted to Shi's body, and the jade nobles were rarely taken care of and were not often mentioned. She is now the same month as Shi's body, but the difference is so obvious, she must be sad in her heart. Nowadays, everyone in Yugui is like drinking water, they know their own warmth and coldness, and they are a little coquettish, but they have to be a little introverted as a mother. If she didn't ask her, she didn't take the initiative to say it.

This banquet is not as glamorous as Shi's, and there are no jade nobles talking left and right. The concubines were cautious and courteous, but the banquet dispersed in an hour. Pillow Chun drank a few sips of wine, slightly drunk, and blew the wind at the door of the banquet hall, and then sobered up a little.

It is the seventh day of the seventh month of the Eternal Life Palace, the sky is clear, and the hearts of people are broad. You can see Yinhan at a glance, which is far from real. The breeze blew on the face, blowing off a petal on the side of the pillow spring sideburns and gently falling to the ground. Pillow Chun looked down and was a little sad.

Lian Yueyang came out of the door and called her: "What is my sister doing here?" Although it was summer, the wind was cool at night. ”

Pillow Chun was shorter: "Sister Lian." ”

I only saw Lian Yueyang holding the eldest prince and walking towards her.

The eldest prince wore a newly woven gold small summer robe, and his head was combed with a thumb-sized eastern pearl, which looked very energetic. He is also a precocious one, and Nuo Nuo shouted: "Ming concubine little master Wan'an." ”

Pillow Chun was holding two red dates in his hand, so he handed them to the eldest prince to eat: "Oh, the eldest prince tastes whether my red dates are sweet or not." ”

"No, no." Although the eldest prince was young, he refused seriously: "The master said that a gentleman cannot accept alms for no reason. ”

Pillow Chunwan smiled, "The eldest prince is really a gentleman." Then he took Lian Yueyang's hand: "Can the eldest prince still work in the south study now?" ”

Lian Yueyang didn't answer, only asked the maid to send the eldest prince back to the palace first, and then asked Zhuchun when he was far away: "But I ate some wine and was a little dizzy, I have heard that my sister has a good meal there, maybe I can drink two cups of hangover tea?" ”

"My sister is overjoyed." Pillow Spring led the way with her, and the two of them divided the flowers and willows all the way and entered Qiyunxuan.

"This eightfold black dragon is becoming more and more prosperous, which is a good sign." Lian Yueyang entered and took a few sips of tea, "Sure enough, it's Zhong Lingyuxiu, and she matches her sister." ”

Pillow Chun sat on the edge of the small couch opposite her, ate two mouthfuls of fruit, and said, "The so-called Zhong Lingyuxiu is only now created. It's not as good as my sister's, I see that the eldest prince is very smart. ”

Lian Yueyang raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "I just want to talk to you about this." Now that Zhan'er has been reading in the south study for a while, I urge him to only sleep for three hours a day, and review from time to time, barely to grow. ”

"How do you say that?" Pillow Chun was puzzled and put the kernel away, "The eldest prince I saw today is very regular." ”

"I see that although he is diligent, he is not very talented." Lian Yueyang sighed softly, "He is the meat that fell from my body, how can I not understand." Children always want to play at such an age, I am afraid that the birth of the prince by the imperial concubine Shi is not good for Zhan'er, and now I am pressuring him to study hard, and I only hope that he will stand firm. Seeing that he got up before dawn to recite the book, I also felt pity in my heart. How could he not be my heart and liver! ”

Pillow Chun forgave Lian Yueyang a motherly heart, and comforted her: "Now that the eldest prince is more than four years old, who can be at the mercy of anyone." What's more, who knows if the imperial concubine is male or female in her belly, my sister doesn't have to worry. ”

"How can I not worry." Lian Yueyang was silent for a while, and only looked at Pillow Chun, "The imperial concubine's body is getting bigger and bigger, I am scared in my heart, and I can't sleep at night." Now I want to ask my sister to give me something. ”

"What does my sister want?"

Lian Yueyang said: "I want the imperial concubine to poison the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi and the evidence of the prince's murder." ”

Pillow Chun was taken aback: "Naturally, I don't dare to hide it from my sister, but what ...... The sachet ...... On that day, my sister and I listened to what the doctor said, and my sister told me not to act rashly, so I locked up the pickled thing. This matter is very important, and the shot is an important case and a big case, who can shake the position of the imperial concubine at such a critical juncture? Why should my sister still look for it? ”

Lian Yueyang lifted her skirt and knelt down straight, looking at Zhuchun: "This matter was discovered by my sister, and I didn't dare to take it by force." But now that the imperial concubine is about to be crowned queen, if I don't pinch her handle, I will feel uneasy. I...... My dreams are filled with my son's corpse every night! My sister is such a smart and wonderful person, maybe she understands my fearful feelings? If I had taken her handle, it would have been different! Even if she wants to harm my son, she will be a little jealous. If she is arrogant and mean, I will do it, and if she wants to harm my son, I will simply break the net with her! ”

Seeing that she was sad, Pillow Chun hurriedly helped her up: "I am also restless day and night when I pinch that thing, and my sister will take it if she wants to." Seeing that Lian Yueyang was a little thin, she felt pity in her heart, "She used to be in charge of the Sixth Palace, and now she is pregnant with Liujia, so we can't act rashly." If she wants to be queen in the future, we will easily not be able to stand up straight. The sachet with the red flower is not only the evidence of her crime, but also the object that we set ourselves on fire. My sister must be cautious and take care of herself. Lian Yueyang clenched his fists, his eyes glowing with ruthlessness. Pillow Chun has always seen her gentle, soft-spoken, and her face has never been red, how have she ever seen such a look. He only opened the makeup and gave her the sachet containing the saffron.

"My sister has a good heart, and she will be rewarded." Lian Yueyang's eyes were red, and she bit her lip flap.

Pillow Chun thought that a calm person like her would be so scared to make this decision. only comforted her and sent her out, and told her to lie down and eat.

And Lian Yueyang's worries are not unreasonable. Shi is already an imperial concubine and pregnant with twins, although she is bedridden every day, she has already begun to take precautions and start to suppress the eldest prince.

First of all, the "South Study" and the "Yufu Palace" are diagonally opposed, and they are far away from each other, which is uncomfortable. As a result, Mu Beiyi stopped the matter of the emperor's eldest son studying in the south study. It is not known when this stop will be resumed, although it is not so that the eldest prince is not allowed to study, but in the end, the child is young, and it will be much less to grow up after a few months of delay.

Later, he said that when he dreamed of the birth of the emperor's heir at night, he knew that the dream was that the sun and the moon were reversed, and he could not give birth smoothly for a long time. Shi Shi woke up and was afraid, saying that Lian Yueyang was taboo in his name, and he wanted Mu Beiyi to cut his position. Mu Beiyi naturally understood these little Jiujiu, but he couldn't resist Shi's meaning, so he had to make a slight expression and detained Lian Yueyang for a few days.

Although it was a small matter to be confined for a few days, the eyes of the people in the harem who looked at Lian Yueyang had changed. It seems that she has changed from the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son to the humble palace maid back then.

Although these skills are much softer than those of Concubine Mo back then, aren't they all tied to Lian Yueyang's heart.

Pillow Chun knew that Lian Yueyang was the best at forbearance, and he was not afraid that she would not be able to think about it if she was wronged. I only pity the young age of the emperor's eldest son, so I have to look at these filthy things in the inner palace. When I should be carefree, I just learned the way of a gentleman. It is said that the emperor's family is rich and rich, and it is laughed that the poor can drink love water......

I thought about the discomfort of this heart-piercing. Her heart has always been clean and free. If you don't think about the sludge in front of you, you will turn a blind eye to it. Right now, it's just a reminder. As a result, I had to comfort myself, and I sent my thoughts home and diligently passed on more letters.

This letter was written to his mother, Tu. Pillow Spring writes a warm and light Zhao body, and the pen is smart and soft. His father, An Qingshan, never liked Zhao Ziang, saying that he was the eleventh grandson of Song Taizu, but after his death, he served the new monarch and had no aristocratic temperament. He also said that Zhao Ziang's handwriting was too moist, and he didn't see the wind at all, and he was faintly charming. Pillow Chun disagreed, the change of dynasties is the inevitable trajectory of history, as for the water moist ...... Goodness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting. The so-called flattery, the flattery that men see, but she looks at it is bright.

So he asked his mother if he was okay, gave a few words about the current situation, and asked his father, brother and sister-in-law. Then he faintly mentioned two sentences about the matter of the left servant of Shangshu Province shooting Zhishi, and asked his father to be honest and honest and rigorous in his performance. Although An Qingshan is a wise person, he is quite virtuous and virtuous, and he does not need to think too much. There is no act of bribery, Mu Beiyi has the intention of carrying it, and it is only a matter of time before he thinks about it. More than seven or eight years, less than three or four years, the clan may be able to produce more than three grades of Zhu Zi.

Later, he said a few words that the imperial concubine and the jade nobleman have imperial heirs, and Chen said that he did not move, and he deliberately avoided favor. The newspaper reported the joy that day, saying that now she is a concubine with a title, and she is already a serious little master, and if she is unfortunate in the future, the bones will enter the garden.

After saying this, I remembered that I had never seen my second sister-in-law, and I only heard in the letter that she was pregnant. I wrapped a pair of gold bracelets with bells as a gift. Now that she is in a position, she can neither go home to save her relatives, nor invite the female relatives of the clan to accompany her, so she inexplicably has some feelings of longing. If you become a concubine in the future, if you are pregnant with the imperial heir, you can also see it.

Therefore, I waited a few days before I could reply to the letter. The reply was not from the mother, but from the father.

In addition to some trivial matters, it was said that the hibiscus and Ali got married. Now Mu Hibiscus is the housekeeper of the house, and she also goes to clean the boudoir in front of the pillow spring from time to time, as if waiting for her to return to the door.

also said that the daughter of her third aunt, Sister An Huatang, who is the fourteenth in the clan, is now thirteen. A woman who is of good moral character, or who is known as a good name, reaches the age of thirteen or fourteen years old to say that she is married. The An's family has a clear lineage, and the daughters are named after the four seasons, such as pillow spring; The daughter of the concubine is named after flowers, such as the painting begonia. The flowers bloom with thanks, the four seasons change endlessly, and there is always a difference between the grandchildren. Although she is a concubine, this An Huatang is also beautiful and willing to learn etiquette, so she hopes to be a good family before fifteen and Xu.

Mother Tu is the daughter of a military marquis, so naturally she will not be jealous and treat her concubine harshly. I thought that Zhuchun is now the concubine of Zhengwupin, and her eldest sister came forward to inquire, which can be regarded as doing her best for the affairs of the concubine. After An Qingshan's letter, he wrote the name of the three young men, saying that he had come to talk about it on purpose.

Pillow Chun took a look at the note, and said that it was difficult for her father to invite her to inquire, but it turned out that there was a reason in it.

The first Zhang's young man is a person in this township examination, and he is innocent and only nineteen years old. Such a talent is very rare, just because of the delay in studying and the age, in a few years after getting the Jinshi will be able to enter the office. But this Zhang Juren is good in everything, but he is an ordinary family in the clan, and he has to have an uncle who is doing the county order. Such an intention to come to Bai'an Mansion is a bit high-level, and the meaning is really debatable.

The second is a concubine of the Hedong Xue clan in the Lejing clan, who is sixteen years old and has now also taken the exam. Xue Shilang is the same as Xue's daughter, and there is naturally nothing to say about talent, but it doesn't matter if you are a student, it is good if you are still young. At present, the Xue sisters are all concubines in the palace, so they naturally want to ask if the character of this Xue Sheng member of the Lejing clan is suitable.

The third is nothing else, but a Pengzhou He Shilang. This He Lang is no one else, the current Shangzhou Assassin Shi Cong Sanpin Minister, Pillow Chun's father An Qingshan has to say hello when he sees it. He was Chinese New Year's Eve at the age of thirty-two, and married the sister of the Shi clan, the imperial concubine of the dynasty, and could be regarded as the brother-in-law of the imperial concubine. He Tingshi and Mrs. Shi are not in love, and they are known for their romantic reputation, and their concubines are widely accepted. Now that he intends to accept a noble concubine to enrich the faΓ§ade, he thinks about the An family, a concubine who only has thirteen.

Pillow Chun had an intuitive headache when he saw it, both Xue Shilang and the brother-in-law of the imperial concubine. Now let her go to the palace of those two to inquire, how not to go to the oil pot to roll around as uncomfortable. pondering in Zhuchun in his heart, with the identity of An Huatang's concubine, he was assigned to He Tingshi as a concubine, which was naturally a glorious concubine. can be a concubine like she is now, low and small, planning day by day, and it is inevitable that she will be tired for the rest of her life.

Although Zhang Juren is old, the lintel is a little lower, but fortunately, she is begging her sister to be his wife. In the future, if you win the champion, you will have a bright future. It doesn't hurt to only get a jinshi in the exam, get a school book position, and An Huatang can also be a proper lady.

But the best one is naturally Xue Shengren. Although Concubine Qi Shufei and Xue Chuling have a suspicion of the same pillow spring, the Xue family is still in fashion and has never torn their faces. The second Xue girl is ironed properly everywhere, making it difficult to find out the mistakes, which shows that the goddaughter of the Xue family has the ability, not to mention the sons and daughters of the clan. Although Xue Shengyuan is a clan and a concubine, the Xue family is huge, and the glory of generations of hairpins is unique in the entire Great Wei Kingdom. Xue Shengyuan is a concubine, and he took the daughter of the An family, and the two of them are a good match, and they will not give An Huatang a cold face in the future. What's more, the Xue family has a strict style, and men rarely take concubines, and they never go to their wives for no reason. Therefore, it is the safest to be the wife of the Xue family.

Pillow Spring thought about it left and right, and it was also the best family business of the Xue family, so he found a quiet day and took Yulan to visit.
