Chapter 263: Wei Guifei's Persuasion
On the sixth day of the first month of March, Cheng Fu married his daughter, full of red makeup, and sent from the east of the city to the west of the city.
The door of the Qi family's new house is not big, but there are a lot of guests who come today, relying on Cheng Biting Jin's face, there is no shortage of characters with heads and faces, Cheng Xiaofeng has a wide range of friends, and the younger generation is a large group of huhulala.
As a relative and friend of the woman's family, Yiyu got up early in the morning with the Lu family and brought Cheng Xiaofeng's personal dowry to the wedding room to make the bed, this role was completely reversed from the day she got married.
Yi Yu watched Cheng Xiaofeng worship Qi Zheng in the Qinglu throughout the whole process, and the same group of female guests followed to the new house to settle the account, looking at her in a red wedding dress, she fanned, glanced at the groom with a little shyness, and went to laugh and scold Fang Cai's friend who smashed Hu Tao.
As the flow of people withdrew from the marriage room and left the couple alone, Yi Yushi felt that a big stone in her heart was put down, but the feeling of emptiness made her feel a little lost while being happy.
"Xiaofeng is a good boy." Walking with the crowd on the way to the banquet hall, Lu suddenly sighed to Yi Yu.
"Hmm."
It's a pity that her eldest brother didn't have this blessing.
Yi Yu sighed, grabbed Lu's arm, put aside her sorrow, and just wanted to bless her happily on her friend's wedding day.
A few days after Cheng Xiaofeng's marriage, Yi Yu was picking a day to invite Jin Lu'an to play in Furong Garden, and was edicted into the palace by Wei Guifei with a brand, but she didn't say what to do.
Yi Yu sat in front of the mirror to make up, stroked the young rabbit that was lying on his lap and brought back from the Luoyang paddock, and asked Qin Lin who was picking out the headdress casually:
"What does Aunt Qin think is the matter with the concubine looking for me?"
Qin Lin sorted out the silk yarn on a blue lotus hairpin flower, looked up at the relict jade, and said:
"If the princess has something in her heart, she must never leave **, why should the slave and maid talk too much."
"You say."
"Yes," Qin Lin pondered for a moment and said:
"The slave maid and the two relatives Liu are in the same courtyard, and occasionally I heard them talk, and learned that a young lady who served by the queen's side a few years ago was promised to the prince, and the slave heard that Du Changshi was friendly with the waiter Yan Lide, and that young lady was the only daughter of Yan Shilang, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, but did not have a marriage contract. Now I heard that the princess of Chu is pregnant and will give birth, regardless of the children, one out, among the princes, but all those who are more than sixteen, eight people, and the only prince has no heirs, but the prince is favored by the saints, and there are many favorites, how can he ignore it, the slave thinks that the concubine summons you to meet you today, or to inform you, and she can't escape like this. ”
When the words fell, Ping Hui, who was combing her hair in the house, and Ping Tong, who was dressing, both changed their faces, but Yu Yu was calmer than them, just sighed softly, let go of the rabbit who woke up and began to kick his legs indiscriminately, and jumped under the bed from running down his knees, and never spoke again.
This silence was maintained until the palace, when I saw the face of Wei Guifei.
"The emperor has high hopes for the King of Wei, and he really doesn't want to see his thin heirs, you will be married for a year, if you can get pregnant early, it will not be so urgent, but you are a person of late fortune like this palace, I heard the emperor say that he intended to give the only daughter of Yan Shilang of the Ministry of Industry to the King of Wei as a side room, but was rejected by the King of Wei, do you know about this?"
When he arrived at Wei Guifei's palace, after a few words, he went straight to the point, and he was all expected by Qin Lin, and Yu Yu was not surprised, but he was not comfortable, and replied softly:
"The prince mentioned it."
Wei Guifei took off the teacup in her hand and said with concern: "Then have you persuaded him?" ”
Yi Yu shook his head, "I don't dare to intervene in the prince's affairs." ”
Wei Guifei frowned, "How can this be King Wei's business alone?" ”
Yu Yu bowed his head, "It's Jue's gaffe." ”
Being able to sit in the position of today, Wei is of course a smart and careful woman, with only one or two sentences, he can see the reluctance of Yu Yu, and probably guessed that Li Tai is unwilling to accept a concubine, and the problem is still in this well-known favorite wife.
Wei Guifei put down the teacup and changed her tone to a serious tone:
"This palace is a person who has come over, how can I not know that you are uncomfortable, but you can be a ** concubine, who does not have such a hurdle to pass, besides, you are in the main room, and you have a lot of love from King Wei, why worry too much. This is my heart-to-heart words to you, if a man has a heart, you rely on his three wives and four concubines, and you are alone, if a man is ruthless, you can keep him today, and you can't keep him tomorrow morning. In this case, why bother about this morning and evening, the daughter of the Yan family has seen it in this palace, she is a woman with a gentle personality, she is knowledgeable, she will not be jealous of you when she marries into the palace, that is, there is an extra population in the mansion, and this day is still the same, where can anything else go? ”
"Alas," she sighed, and changed her words, adding:
"Do you know, the day before living in the villa outside the Luoyang enclosure, the king of Wei refused to go to the door, the emperor lost his temper in front of me afterwards, don't look at the emperor smiled at you the next day, I don't know how to be annoyed, you go back and persuade the king of Wei, the emperor can stand him once or twice, but he may not be able to follow him back, if he really angers Long Yan, how can you bear the consequences?"
Yi Yu hung her head, listened to her finish speaking, and was silent for a while before she whispered, "You can let me go back and think about it for a while." ”
"While the emperor still has some patience now, you can think clearly early, and you can be generous in front of people" Wei Guifei babbled for a long time, and when she saw her absent-mindedness, she intercepted the words and waved her sleeves helplessly:
"Alright, you can go."
Yi Yu said goodbye, got up and walked to the door, and listened to the words behind him:
"Wait, knowing that you are coming, the palace first called Lu Baolin to wait in the side hall, your sisters have not seen you for a long time, and you must often say, Xuexiang, take the princess to the side hall."
"Yes."
"Concubine Xie is considerate."
Yi Yu turned around and thanked him again, and followed a maid to the side hall.
Yi Yu and Lu Shuqing met, this is the second time after the New Year, the two did not greet each other, the former picked up a short couch in the house and sat down, the latter poured a cup of tea on the table and handed it to her, and sat down beside her.
"You've been looking a lot better lately." Yi Yu held the tea, but did not drink it, glanced at Lu Shuqing, whose cheeks were full again, and said.
Lu Shuqing smiled lightly, "The concubine is very good to me, I changed the house, and I have never lacked the monthly allowance." ”
"That's good."
Yi Yu put down the teacup, took out the cuffs, and took out a brand-new lotus bag with a lotus embroidered bottom and handed it to her, "If I remember correctly, you were born in April, I prepared a gift in advance, and when I came, I wanted to see you, so I brought it, keep it, it's not a valuable object, but I made it myself, you are single in the palace, take it out when you are lonely, and remember that there is still my sister." ”
Lu Shuqing took the purse, touched it lovingly, and said fondly: "It's rare that you still remember my birthday, but I didn't prepare anything for you, so I'll accept it with a cheeky face and make it up for you next time." ”
"Okay."
The two chatted for a while, saying something inconsequential, and when they saw a figure in front of the door, Yi Yu said "take care" and got up and left.
Lu Shuqing stood in front of the door and watched her leave, put the purse into her sleeve, lowered her head, and followed the maid in the palace of the concubine back to the apse where she lived.
When he returned to the bedroom and closed the door, Lu Shuqing carefully took out the pouch stuffed in the cuff and opened it, and inside it was a neat and neat stack of expensive tickets folded into four corners, which were opened and counted, ranging from 50 to 100 denominations, a total of 2,000 yuan.
Walking in the palace, if you want to live well, you have to work in front of the chamberlain, like her, who can't see the emperor a few times a year, so that there are more places for money.
Lu Rongyuan didn't send silver to the palace, but unfortunately they sent the wrong door at the beginning, and threw Lu Shuqing under Concubine Yang's door, spending more than 10,000 yuan on silver before and after, in the end, she still relied on her own skills to win the emperor's blue eyes, and she was lucky overnight, and sealed a treasure forest to do, but it was also exchanged for Concubine Yang's cold eyes and difficulties.
Since then, a year has passed, and she has never had the opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor, and the emperor has never been able to remember this little Baolin with a spring breeze.
Thinking of the hardships she has endured in the past six months, Lu Shuqing clenched the purse in her hand, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes flashed with determination, as if she was giving herself a new seal, and whispered to herself:
"I'm going to have a good day, I'm going to have to, and then..."
Besides, when Yi Yu walked out of the gate of Taiji Palace, it was the sun rising, and it was almost noon, she thought about Wei Guifei's words all the way, and she expected that this was under the instruction of Li Shimin, so her heart was a little worried.
She knew that the matter of taking a concubine would not work with Li Tai, and someone would find her sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so quick and catch her off guard.
Although Li Tai told her about the marriage with the Yan family in Luoyang, he heard from Wei Guifei's words that it was far from being as easy as he said.
She can push all the concubine matters on Li Tai, but knowing that the emperor is staring behind her back, how can she stay out of the matter, just like what he promised her that day, if she wants to be his only wife, she must bear this kind of pressure, just standing behind him, she will only become more and more cowardly.
I have to think of a way, Yi Yu's left hand subconsciously moved to the lower abdomen and pressed, his eyes were slightly downcast, the best way to stop them was that she was pregnant, but she didn't know how to be so angry, obviously he was the only one with her, how could it be so difficult to conceive?
"Little sister."
Today is Lu Jun's errand, with two small teams patrolling the palace, walking to the front of the Taiji Palace, he recognized the figure of the relict jade from afar, and he couldn't shout in the palace, so he ordered his subordinates to continue patrolling and ran forward by himself.
"Second brother." Yi Yu came back to his senses, Lu Jun was already standing in front of him, first surprised, and then remembered that he had been transferred to another class this month.
"Let's talk, you two are waiting here." Lu Jun seemed to have something to say to Yiyu, pointed to a tree on the side of the road, asked the two palace maids who sent Yiyu out of the palace to stand, and led her over.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Jun's sad face, Yi Yu didn't feel like there was good news, so he asked carefully.
Lu Jun hesitated, and couldn't hide anything from her, so he lowered his voice and told the truth:
"I walked around the palace in the morning, and listened to the inner servants in the aisle, and this morning in the court, the counselor Chu Suiliang participated in the King of Wei once, saying that he was a concubine, and his monthly expenses were higher than those of the East Palace, and compared with the Empress Dowager Dou of the Han Dynasty who favored Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and said that he was disrespectful to the prince, and took him at the beginning of the year in the Qinglou to spend 50,000 yuan to buy a book as an example, and reprimanded the King of Wei for being arrogant."
"The emperor should not be in the way, when the court inquired, after the King of Wei admitted that it was true, he was furious, in front of the officials reprimanded the King of Wei, cut him for three years, and ordered him to return to the mansion, to the Sheren Wang Qi to relearn what it means to respect the teacher and respect the elder. I expected that the King of Wei was reprimanded in the early dynasty, and he must have accumulated fire in his heart, you have to be careful when you go back, don't touch his moldy head. ”。.。
