Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bamboo Frost
On the second day after Xiao Yu's will was handed down, the eldest prince went to Beichen Palace to meet Nie Yan.
"Erchen has seen his mother." The eldest prince saluted decently.
Nie Yan hurriedly said, "Get up." There are no outsiders, no need to be polite. ”
The eldest prince got up according to his words, and Nie Yan saw that his eyes were still red, thinking that it was because he missed the deceased imperial concubine.
"The dead are gone, you have to look away." Nie Yan comforted.
The eldest prince nodded, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know whether he heard it or not.
Nie Yan thought about it, and then said: "This palace knows that you have asked for some relics of the imperial concubine, and I have vacated the west hall for you, and I don't know if there is enough to put it." If it is not enough, send someone to say it, and then arrange it. ”
The eldest prince was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that Nie Yan would gladly accept him to come in with his biological mother's relics.
As soon as his biological mother passed away, his father couldn't wait to arrange a new concubine for him, and the eldest prince was just a nine-year-old child, and he was resistant in his heart after all.
Even when he stepped into this Beichen Palace, he was still hostile to Nie Yan.
However, for now, he felt that Nie Yan was different from his father's other women.
Those palace concubines are either hypocritically trying to please their father by being nice to him, or they are eager for him to die early and make way for his younger brother.
In his heart, the eldest prince was very clear about the virtues of those people, but Nie Yan, he felt that it was different from the previous two.
"Thank you, Princess." The eldest prince said with some gratitude.
After all, many people will feel that dead people's things are unlucky. If Nie Yan didn't let him bring it in, it would be difficult for him to go to his father to make trouble.
Nie Yan was relieved to see that the eldest prince had a good temperament, at least not like he was unreasonable.
"Su Yun, take His Royal Highness the Great Prince to the West Hall." Nie Yan commanded.
Su Yun should be, and the eldest prince also retired.
Although Nie Yan knew that Concubine Xian's death was strange, she didn't plan to get involved, even if the eldest prince was raised by her now, she had no idea of avenging the eldest prince.
But if the eldest prince finds something herself, then she can't care about it.
Looking at the actions of the eldest prince now, it is strange, maybe he already knows something, maybe he can't say anything?
Nie Yan didn't want to meddle in things, but she didn't expect that this idle matter would come to the door by herself.
"Niangniang, the prince of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask for a meeting."
Wan Hui came to report.
Nie Yan was a little surprised, I don't know why this prince came here?
"Let him in." Nie Yan commanded.
Soon, Wang Zhi followed Wan Hui into the hall and saluted Nie Yan and said, "I've seen Concubine Shuniang." ”
"The prince is exempt from courtesy. My father-in-law came, but he had an errand? Nie Yan asked.
The king straightened up and replied, "Back to Niangniang, the slave is also entrusted by others, and has come to ask Niangniang for a favor." ”
"Oh? With the status of the prince and the princess, is there anything difficult to do in the palace? Why bother to come to Hongu?" Nie Yan said with a smile.
Wang Zhi said dryly: "Niangniang is a slave, I really have to ask Niangniang for this matter." ”
Nie Yan was noncommittal, and only asked, "I don't know who entrusted my father-in-law and what is the matter?" ”
"It is the palace maid Zhushuang next to the late imperial concubine, saying that the imperial concubine treated her well before her death, and now that the imperial concubine is dead, she wants to serve by the side of the eldest prince, even if it is just a sprinkling palace maid, she is willing. When the slave saw that she was a loving person, he was moved by compassion and came to ask the concubine for a favor. ”
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed. He has been in the palace for many years, and it is common for palace maids and eunuchs to change errands, and it seems that there are not many people who still remember the old lord's feelings like this.
Although serving by the prince's side may have the opportunity to fly on the branches, the eldest prince is only nine years old now, and if he wants to fly on the branches, he will have to stay up for at least several years.
With the qualifications of a bamboo shuang to be a big palace maid, the age must be not small. Moreover, the Chu Palace has a rule that palace maids can be released from the palace when they reach the age of twenty.
Yes, if it weren't for the sake of love, there was really no need to go to the eldest prince's side to be the lowest sprinkler and sweeper palace maid.
Although Wang Zhi is the head of the Internal Affairs Office, as long as he is in the palace of a serious concubine, it is not easy for him to send people over casually.
Although Zhushuang said that he went to the side of the eldest prince, didn't the eldest prince move to Beichen Palace now? The owner of Beichen Palace, but the concubine.
When Nie Yan heard this, she remembered the palace maid who wore a jade bracelet that day, I don't know if it was this bamboo frost?
"Did the prince bring someone with him?" Nie Yan asked.
Wang Zhi naturally brought people here, and soon, a plain bamboo cream appeared in front of Nie Yan's eyes.
This is exactly the palace maid that Nie Yan thinks is okay, but at this time, she didn't wear the jade bracelet, and the jewelry and clothes on her body were all like ordinary palace maids.
"Slave Zhushuang, I've seen Concubine Niangniang."
There are rules, and Nie Yan feels that if she doesn't accept this person, she will inevitably be a little unkind.
And if the bamboo frost is a real problem, you should be wary of it early.
"In that case, let's stay. The people around the eldest prince are enough to serve, according to your request, go to the west hall to be a sprinkler and sweep palace maid. ”
Nie Yan arranged.
Zhushuang was a little surprised when she heard this, her words were just retreating as advances, she thought that this concubine would give her a better errand for the sake of her former imperial concubine, but she didn't expect such a result.
Wang Zhi thought that this bamboo frost was happy and stupid, and hurriedly reminded: "Why don't you thank Concubine Shuniang?" ”
Only then did Zhushuang come back to her senses and said, "Thank you for the grace of Concubine Shu." ”
Nie Yan looked at Zhushuang's expression and knew that she was not happy to just be a sprinkler and sweep palace maid.
The former housekeeper of the palace suddenly returned to the lowest level of the palace, this gap is tantamount to changing from a queen to a small talent.
However, this bamboo frost actually has no objections, it seems that the picture is not small!
As for the words of deep love between master and servant, Nie Yan didn't believe it.
Wang Zhi saw that Zhushuang had been settled, so he retired to Nie Yan.
Nie Yan smiled and sent Wang Zhi away, and then ordered Wan Hui to send Zhushuang to the West Hall.
"Niangniang, the eldest prince has settled down. His Majesty sent someone to say that he would come to Beichen Palace later to dine with you and the eldest prince. ”
Su Yun entered the hall and said.
Nie Yan nodded when she heard this, thinking of the bamboo frost, so she explained to Su Yun: "Find a few trustworthy ones and keep an eye on the new bamboo frost." This palace wants to see what her purpose is. ”
Su Yun responded, but listened to Nie Yan ask again: "Then the position of Fushun's head is secure?" ”
"Niangniang didn't mention it, but the slave forgot to say that this blessing has some means. Not only are our minions here convinced, but even those on Concubine Zhao's side don't dare to come over to show off their might. ”
Su Yun replied with a smile.
Nie Yan heard this: "That really made the palace pick up gold." ”
"However, the slave maid heard that this Fushun has a lot to do with the prince of the Internal Affairs Office." Su Yun worried.
"Wang Zhi?"
Nie Yan was unexpected, if Fushun really has a good relationship with Wang Zhi, with Wang Zhi's identity in the palace, at least Deshun can be a steward in the Internal Affairs Mansion.
Why was he arranged to be a little eunuch by his side?
Su Yun said: "The eunuchs and palace maids are all discussing in private, and the prince Xu is Fushun's master. ”
