After the seal, Ruyi's father Narbu was posthumously honored as the first-class Cheng'en Duke, and her mother also became the Duchess of Cheng'en, and on the fifth day after Ruyi's canonization, she visited the palace.

The family reunion, Ruyi is naturally overjoyed. In the past, when she was a concubine and an imperial concubine, her mother did not come to visit, but at that time, she was cautious in her words and deeds, trembling, and she was not as relaxed as at this moment.

In terms of such a family, the most common sentence that my mother said was "Wulanala Zhongxing, you Ama can also be blind under the Nine Springs." Such words are particularly tearful in the festive season, Ruyi stopped her mother's tears of joy in a timely manner, and then speaking, the little sister's marriage age has arrived, and the people who propose marriage have broken through the threshold.

Ruyi groaned: "In the past, no one cared about it, but now it has broken through the threshold, but it is because of the position of the queen of my daughter." It can be seen that the world is snobbish! ”

The mother said, "If you talk about snobbery, there is always it." E-Niang looked at it coldly, in the family of the people who came to propose, there were the emperor's own brothers and princes who came to marry Fujin, and the king of Pingjun came to marry Fujin, and Zhao Guogong was his son-in-law——"

Before her mother's words were finished, Ruyi waved her hand again and again: "E-niang, don't say this again." The emperor doesn't say it, but in his heart he is the most taboo to be involved with the royal family or important ministers. Isn't our involvement with the royal family enough? If my daughter wants to say, it is the most stable to choose a scribe son in the family of people who knew each other well in the past and did not dislike our downfall. If a military general wants to go on the battlefield, it is good for a scribe to be a talented man, but he has to live a peaceful and stable life without seeking fame. ”

The mother hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said: "A family like ours is so easy to prosper, and marrying such a person is your sister willing, and I can't be willing!" ”

Ruyi said: "E-niang, don't be confused. Rich and cloudy, there is a daughter in it. It is good for the younger sister to marry a lover quietly, and even the younger brother will inherit the title in the future, so as not to be contaminated in the officialdom. ”

With such a solemn request, my mother finally agreed.

It was dusk when my mother left. The time of morning and dusk is approaching, Yan Wan waited outside Yikun Palace, watching Ruyi personally help her mother to the door, unconsciously wet her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Chunchan, I don't know how the mother of this palace is at home." I want to see it, but this palace is not a favored concubine, and there is no one in the family who is an official in the court, so I can't see each other. ”

Chunchan comforted: "What's so difficult for the little lord to see his family, you often have contacts with the queen, please ask the queen's grace." ”

Yin Wan hesitated: "I don't know if the queen is willing or not?" ”

Chunchan said with a smile: "The little master of Concubine Jia's affairs has helped, and the queen will naturally hurt the little master." Moreover, the queen mother has just been canonized, so she is naturally willing to give grace. ”

Yin Wan thought about it, and really went to ask Ruyi. Ruyi also agreed, and sighed: "Your family was originally in Shengjing, and the palace asked people to prepare earlier, so that they could take your family into the palace to visit." ”

Yinwan's mother and younger brother entered the palace ten days later. When she got up that morning, she ordered her mother and younger brother to prepare their favorite snacks, cleaned the Yongshou Palace inside and out, changed into new clothes, and dressed up in a particularly colorful manner, just waiting for the arrival of the family.

Sure enough, by the middle of the afternoon, Sanbao beside Ruyi had already brought Yinwan's mother and younger brother in, and retired after a thousand strokes.

Yinwan hadn't seen her mother and brother for many years, she was emotional, couldn't help crying, and said in her mother's arms: "Eniang, brother, you are finally here." ”

Mrs. Wei carefully looked at the layout of Yongshou Palace, pushed away the daughter in her arms and looked up and down, Fang solemnly asked, "Is the little master happy?" ”

Yinwan was full of tears, and she was unafraid that her mother would ask this sentence, but she was stunned. Still Lan Cui was obedient, and said busily: "Mrs. Wei and Gongzi have worked hard along the way, hurry up and sit in the warm pavilion, the little master has prepared two favorite snacks." ”

Mrs. Wei was only in her forties, and she was dressed in a smoky silk robe. And although Yinwan's younger brother is strong, he looks awkward in a brocade robe, and only a pair of eyes look around, without a certainty. Although Mrs. Wei looked a little old, her eyes were very delicate, and she swept towards Lan Cui like a blade, and said, "Are you serving Concubine Ling?" ”

Lan Cui hurriedly replied "yes", and Mrs. Wei was willing to stretch out her arm and let her help her in.

When they arrived at the warm pavilion and sat down, Lan Cui and Chunchan hurriedly offered the refreshments as respectfully, and then lowered their hands and retreated to the side. Mrs. Wei tasted a few things, and saw that Yinwan's younger brother Zuolu only gobbled it up by himself and didn't pay attention to it, but Lan Cui handed over a cup of milk tea and said, "Childe, take a sip of tea and moisten it, choke carefully." ”

Zorlu was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and seeing Lan Cui's delicate birth, serving and being attentive, he couldn't help but touch the back of her hand, salivating and smiling: "It's so slippery." ”

Lan Cui has been on an errand in the palace since she was a child, where has she seen such a person who doesn't understand the rules, she was a little annoyed for a while, but she didn't dare to show it, so she had to retreat back, and her face was flushed with grievances.

Yan Wan's face couldn't hold back, and she hurriedly shouted: "This is the palace, where should you be?" ”

Zorlu lowered his face, grabbed a piece of dim sum and bit it, and snorted softly.

Mrs. Wei saw everything, so she lowered her face and said: "Zuo is just a slave who serves you, that is, a slave who serves your brother. Yinwan has always regarded Lan Cui and Chunchan as right-hand men, and when she heard her mother say this, she was afraid that Lan Cui would be annoyed by her thin skin, and it would be difficult to get around again, so she instructed: "Lan Cui, you go out to serve." ”

Mrs. Wei immediately stopped her, ignoring Lan Cui's embarrassment, she opened her mouth and said, "What are you going out for?" As a slave, can't you listen to these words? She saw that Yin Wan's purple face was raised, and she didn't care about it, she just stared at Yan Wan's stomach and said: "Just now, I saw that the little master, you eat those sweets with relish, I don't like to eat those sour plums and spicy ginger, I'm afraid that there are no goods in your stomach yet, right?" ”

Yanwan listened to her mother's vulgar words, and she was originally very strong, but she was also frustrated at the moment, and her eyes were red in a hurry: "Eniang, this life has not yet arrived, and my daughter is in a hurry." ”

The corners of Mrs. Wei's mouth drooped, and she said with a cold face: "Are you in a hurry?" Or are you useless and can't hold the emperor's heart? Don't blame your brother for being shallow-eyed, and even touching the hand of the servant who serves you. Having said that, it's still because you don't fight for it, if you have more favors and give birth to an elder brother, you can also give our family more chews, and marry more daughters-in-law for your brother, and he won't end up like he is today. ”

Hearing his mother reprimand his sister, Zorlu sniffed and snorted, "A hen that doesn't lay eggs!" ”

Yan Wan served the emperor's side, although there were many grievances in the open and secret, but in the end, she was a pampered concubine, and she had never been so rudely ridiculed by her mother and brother. Now that the mother and daughter are reunited, and hearing the cold words that they were used to hearing when they were young, they couldn't help but cry: "What do others say about other people's business, why do my mother and younger brother also say the same about me?" Over the years, I have given everything good to the family, and you can only see the grievances in my heart, so it is easy to come to the palace for a trip, and everyone is happy, but you want to poke my sore spots! ”

Mrs. Wei was unhappy, and her expression became even more ugly: "People are happy because they are happy, what do we have to be happy about?" You have served the emperor for so many years, why are you still a concubine today? It's just a concubine, why is there no movement in this belly? At your age, how many people in our village have dragged a large group of children and daughters. ”

Chunchan couldn't hear it, so she had to smile and say, "Don't care, madam, the little master has been taking fetal medicine." The little lord is also anxious! Besides, the child has nothing to do with grace, Concubine Yu has five elder brothers, and the emperor doesn't ignore her. is the queen's mother, and she has no heirs, but the emperor has not named her the queen yet. ”

Mrs. Wei ignored it and glanced at Chunchan: "People's blessings are born in their bones, and our girls' blessings have to be earned by ourselves." She wants to have the ability to be a queen, and she made the queen without a child, what else do I have to say. I remember that our girl's concubine has not moved for two years, and she has been serving the emperor for four or five years. It is said that when you enter the palace, you will fall into the pile of gold and silver, and the blessings will be piled up in front of you, why don't we please? She looked at Yinwan and said: "Look, Eniang is here, and after sitting for so long, the emperor didn't even send an envoy to take a look, so it can be seen that your grace is not as good as day by day." ”

Chunchan listened to Mrs. Wei's words and poked her heart, she really didn't care about it, so she couldn't listen to it anymore because she was a palace maid, so she hurriedly picked up the silk satin, gold and silver jewelry prepared by Yinwan and showed them to Mrs. Wei, and said attentively: "These silks are all woven by Jiangnan to pay tribute, and there are few small lords in the palace who can have them." These jewels are owned by the little master, and there are also those that the queen mother knows that the lady is coming to give them a special reward, so the lady will take them home. It's not easy to come here, and the filial piety of the little lord is coming to the front. ”

Mrs. Wei recited a word of Buddha when she saw it, and when she saw that the things were exquisite, her face was much softer: "It's still the queen's mother's mercy." After she finished reading it, she said mysteriously to Yinwan: "I heard that the queen mother looks a little similar to you, is it really fake?" Why did she become a queen, and you didn't even climb a concubine? Otherwise, the queen mother has rewarded so much, and I also took your brother to thank the queen mother? ”

When Yan Wan heard this, she was so anxious that her eyebrows were raised, how could her mother go to Yikun Palace to embarrass her ugliness. Still Chunchan was shrewd, and smiled and persuaded: "At this time, the queen is afraid that she is dealing with the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and she will not see anyone." Only then did Mrs. Wei give up.

When the time came, the little eunuch came to urge her to leave the palace, Mrs. Wei was holding a bunch of things, and she couldn't slow down, so she still turned her head and ordered: "Hurry up and conceive a child, otherwise you will refuse to close your eyes when Ama dies, and will come down from Jiuquan to find you." ”

As soon as Mrs. Wei left, Yin Wan didn't have time to close the door of the palace, so she burst into tears: "When other people's families visit the palace, they are all happy and reunited, why is the palace so embarrassing." I thought I could get together, but in the end I slapped myself in the face. She took Lan Cui's hand, "It also caused you to be bullied by the uncompetitive brother in this palace." ”

Lan Cui saw that Yinwan was sad, where did she dare to be wronged, so she had to say: "The little master treats the slave and maid well, the slave and maid all know, and the slave and maid dare not be wronged." ”

Chunchan sighed and said: "The slaves and maids are wronged, where can they compare to the grievances of the little master." His own mother's brothers are forced like this, and his heart is even more uncomfortable. Actually, Madame's words are also kind, but she is in a hurry, take your time, the little master will always have children. It's grace, the little lord is still young, what are you afraid of. ”

Yin Wan clenched the silk in her hand tightly, and said in a deep voice in sadness: "It's not." If your mother has no one to rely on, you can only rely on yourself. ”
