Chapter 168: Dynasty Chapter 9

In Fengyi Palace, according to the instructions of the queen mother today, it was cleaned up and down, and four or five palace maids were sorting out the books that had been cleared out and two boxes of gadgets that the queen had collected for many years, and these things still had to wait for the instructions of the mother.

The woman who sat quietly drinking tea in the room was about thirty but eight, and the wrinkles on the well-maintained face could only be seen when she looked closely, and when the hand with red nails picked up the wooden comb on the dresser, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and the delicate makeup on the face was much younger, but when she looked at the face of the maid standing behind her through the bronze mirror in front of her, the coldness in her eyes was a little blurred, and she said that there was no shortage of young and beautiful women in this harem. Even the maidservants who usually wait for the concubines are all delicate and lovely.

The person who stared at the bronze mirror for a while slowly removed his hand from the wooden comb, his eyes fell on the lines engraved on the comb, his eyes were half flickering and half sad, this comb was still given by the prince who married into the prince's mansion, and it was also the meeting gift that the emperor prepared for her on the wedding night, more than 20 years have passed, they are all much older, but only this comb has not changed.

The four words engraved on it...... A hundred years of good together, the woman's eyes were fainted with a little smile, and the fine lines at the corners of her mouth were also exposed for a while, at least in the end, she still has the position of a wife, and she must be the one who will join the coffin with the emperor after a hundred years.

The etiquette system of the Xuyue Dynasty will not be easily changed by the emperor......

In a blink of an eye, looking at the maid who was gradually cleaning up the house, a touch of deep thought appeared in her indifferent expression, today the emperor summoned Concubine Liang to go to the palace to raise the palace, this is a rare time in the past few years, and I don't know if she has a role in fueling the troubles.

Although the harem concubines can not talk about the court, but the affairs of the court sometimes come into the ears of the harem concubines, the harem now has no less than ten concubines, including in addition to the good concubine, the other people are all ministers in the court, the recent disturbance in the capital is still a few days ago said that it was the girl who appeared in the snow jade fang, claiming to be the orphan of King Jiang'an, she did not hear that the emperor had mentioned this matter in the early dynasty, presumably the ministers of the court were also waiting for the emperor...... Or maybe he waited until the emperor was angry before he could say anything.

Let's say that this woman is here to deceive the emperor and deceive the people of the world, but at this juncture, her identity was exposed, but in response to the rumors in the palace, King Jiang'an's whereabouts have been discovered......

Where is the Snow Jade Fang, and what is the identity of the woman inside, if this situation is true, it must be a loss of face for the royal people, and the emperor will definitely investigate it thoroughly, so now it seems that the emperor has not taken any action, he wants to find out the facts first.

"Queen Mother, the slave has been packed...... I don't know where this box is going to be? Two maids were left in the house, and they left the old books and walked to their own mother's side, and the two of them looked very respectful, and even the younger maid had a fear on her face that she tried to hide, and the older one spoke.

The maid behind her, who was arranging her hair bun, saw the look on the face of the master who was serving, suddenly bowed slightly, put the combed wooden comb in her hands on the stage, and the respectful look on her face was like a retreat, and then she saluted again and retired.

In recent days, the queen has often mobilized people in the Fengyi Palace, first of all, the two maids who have followed Concubine De for many years were transferred, saying that it was because some new palace maids in the queen palace did not understand the rules, so that they were familiar with the rules of the palace first, and then the queen sent a batch of carefully selected palace maids to Concubine De's bedroom, but for some reason, the palace maids sent to stay for less than two or three days before being sent back by Concubine De, And this palace maid who is generally sent back, if the queen is in a bad mood that day, she will be sent to the silk art workshop and become the inferior palace maid.

The day before yesterday, two maidservants were transferred from other palaces to Concubine De's place, and I don't know what the situation will be there, the queen's mood is also not good these days, and the people who are sorting out the things in Fengyi Palace today are also very careful.

"Send someone to the dormitory of the five princes." The woman's voice seemed to hide the initial emotion, the eyes looked at the box not far away, the bottom of the eyes gradually glowed, and suddenly a little smile seemed to appear on the face, this smile is with a hint of relief and deep thought, she can sit in this position now, every day is like walking on thin ice, but if it is not for Chen'er, as early as that year when the woman died, she would have wanted to enter the Buddhist door to enlighten.

"Yes" The two saluted in unison and retired, in addition to a pile of books that had been cleared out and the boxes that seemed to be placed alone, there was also a woman who seemed to be much older in an instant, the high walls of the harem, the inner courtyard of the deep palace, the fight never stopped.

Before Concubine De married into the prince's mansion, she had a relationship with King Jiang'an, who was not titled at that time, and there was a rumor between the two that also circulated among the people, although Concubine De was also favored after entering the palace, but only waited until the woman entered the palace, there was no so-called bowl of water in the harem, and the emperor could not be blamed, in the final analysis...... Or the women in the palace are too lowly.

It has been seven or eight days since Concubine De's behavior was very strange, at least she seemed to be much more impatient than usual, she had transferred two maids from her palace to explain it for her, but the people she sent to her bedroom later did have other purposes.

However, the people who were sent back two or three times also showed that Concubine De's mind must have been discovered, although this matter has not yet reached the emperor's ears, but even if the emperor knows, she is still in charge of the affairs of the harem, but she has mobilized a few maidservants, and the emperor will not be angry with her.

Over the years, the emperor has ignored Concubine De, but the position of this concubine has not changed, and even she can feel that the emperor's feelings for Concubine De may be a little deeper than that of her, since when they were in the Prince's Mansion, the two of them have been incompatible.

Even if so many years have passed, she has already understood that the emperor really loves someone else, but she has never tasted the coldness and loneliness in the harem, and her methods will not be like this...... More and more cruel.

Red silk has been hung at the door of Fu's mansion, and even red silk has been tied to the two standing stone lions, and the mansion is even busier today. It's not enough to start.

It's just that the faces of the people who came and went in a hurry didn't see the joy of the wedding banquet, although they both knew that the Fu family had not been so lively for a long time, but tomorrow's wedding banquet ...... Looking at the look on the face of the eldest prince for several days, the atmosphere in the house was still a little dull.

The eldest prince went out early this morning, according to the wedding banquet system today should stay in the house to arrange many matters, this morning the embroidery pavilion sent the wedding dress over, even with two boxes of expensive gifts, some people in the house can not help but discuss, the dowry of the Chen Mansion has been sent in the early days, and the people who gave the gift here do not know why.

Prime Minister's Office

Fu Mingran got up early in the morning and found that the pillow was wet, and he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the traces left last night. There were also some eyes that were not very clear and looked at the window, the closed window was not different from before, just now I thought that I had seen someone last night.

"Miss, you're awake." The door was gently pushed open, and the maid who came in ...... At that moment, Fu Mingran frowned a little subconsciously, and the maid who walked in front of her was in her eyes, whether this face had changed.

When "Liang'er" spoke, Fu Mingran didn't expect her voice to be so hoarse, like a trace left after crying, her mind was a little trance-like, but she felt that the person who came in didn't seem to look like this.

"Yes, what does the young lady command?" The person who put down the things in his hand walked over, and he was already very skilled in picking up the clothes that had been folded and put on the side of the bed last night, Fu Mingran's expression was a little confused, but his eyes gradually regained a little clarity, looking at the eyes of the maid in front of him, with concern and puzzlement, as if he had just met the person in front of him for the first time.

"Liang Er...... Did I sleep for a long time? It was still a hoarse voice, and the face in front of him was still as well-behaved as ever, but he vaguely felt that something was different, Fu Mingran rubbed his forehead, and his head was indeed groggy.

"Miss woke up once yesterday after taking a nap at noon, and then she didn't wake up until then...... The young lady slept all night. The maid in front of her still seemed to be counting the time on her face, Fu Mingran pondered for a while, the clarity in her eyes was visible, and the sudden action of getting up was a little frightening to the person in front of her, after all, she was walking barefoot.

"Miss, it's cold on the ground, it's still ......"

"It's okay" The ground is really cold, but it also makes her mind clearer, and she slept all night, but she didn't see anyone last night, so she didn't see it in a dream......

"Miss...... After the lord went out today, someone sent two boxes, saying that they were gifts for the eldest lady. The maid's face showed a hint of excitement, and Fu Mingran watched quietly and was silent.

The giver of this gift...... For a moment, she only thought of one person in her mind.

"Miss, someone has already checked it, it is some very precious jade, and it is now in the hall, do you want to wait until the master returns to the house?" The maid's words were still measured, but Fu Mingran didn't seem to have any reaction when she heard it.

"Miss......"

"Then let's wait until Childe comes back." Maybe even she didn't notice it, in addition to the still hoarse and a trace of uneasiness in her voice, she slept all night unconscious last night, and when she woke up, there was a tear on the pillow, but she really couldn't remember if she had a dream last night.

The maid took the embroidered shoes next to the bed, and squatted in front of Fu Mingran with a very well-behaved appearance, the latter's eyes looked at this delicate face, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't find anything unusual.
