Chapter 146: Chinese New Year's Eve
"Register all the things in each palace, you don't have to submit them," Su Jingxi instructed lightly, after she gave birth, no matter what kind of thoughts the concubines had, they all sent people to send gifts, but she didn't know how to use them.
Ting Yao nodded, "The slave maid knows, it's just Niangniang, but there are a few things that are a little special, one is the longevity lock set sent by the Queen Mother, and the other is the blood-red warm jade sent by Shu Guifei Niangniang." ”
Su Jingxi took it and took a look, both of them are not ordinary things, the carving is exquisite, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance, "Take it first, Concubine Shu has something to say"
"No, it's just to let the mother have a good confinement and take care of her body."
Su Jingxi nodded, and didn't dwell too much on this, "You let Qingrou, Xianxiang and Rue Xiang take care of the four princes first, and Xia Mo, there is no shortage of people here in this palace, tell them that there must be no mistakes." ”
Even if the child was born, Su Jingxi still didn't really feel at ease, there were too many children who died in the palace since ancient times, and it was common for them to not be able to support them.
"Also, let Xiao Luzi go too, others are clever, watch more," Su Jingxi thought about it, still a little worried.
"Yes, don't worry, the slave will tell you to go down," Ting Yao knew what Niangniang's worries were, and she also knew what she should do.
"Let the milk come in turns, let Qingmeng check the milk every day, so that they can feed the four princes, and the food of the milk must be carefully selected, how taboo it is, including their clothes or something, and they can't wear any jewelry on their bodies, around the four princes, at all times, at least one of our own people, but if there is a trace of abnormality, immediately report to the palace."
There are only a few people who can start, but the methods are endless, which makes people overwhelmed, and it is really a little sloppy.
Ting Yao nodded, "The slave will watch it herself." ”
"That's good," Su Jingxi nodded, "What happened when the palace was unconscious?"
Su Jingxi has never asked if she has missed anything in the past one or two days, or whether she has really verified her conjectures and expectations.
Ting Yao shook his head, "There is nothing special, Niangniang has not finished giving birth, so the emperor ordered the other concubines to leave, leaving only Shu Guifei Niangniang, Niangniang, Shu Guifei Niangniang is pregnant and heavy, but she is still waiting for Niangniang here for one night, but what will be wrong?"
Su Jingxi frowned, Concubine Shu's performance was too unusual, she had helped her everywhere before, and she had never been embarrassed by her, if she was outside the palace, maybe she would believe that there was this true feeling, but in this deep palace, she would not believe it.
Especially since the two of them still have a man together.
It's about grace, about children, about family life, about a bright future, about family glory, about glory and wealth, too much is involved, it really makes it impossible to have that simple emotion in it.
"What does the emperor have to say about this?"
Listening to Yao thought about it carefully, "No, Concubine Shu doesn't seem to have bad intentions towards Niangniang, according to what Niangniang said, since Niangniang entered the palace, she has helped each other everywhere, and the slave maid thinks that there must be a plan, but what it is, the slave and maid don't know." ”
Su Jingxi nodded, she also thought so, there is no good thing in the world that loses pie in vain, everything needs to be paid.
Concubine Shu has grace, heirs, and family background, she may go further in the future, and it is not impossible, she really has nothing to use for her.
"Is there anything else?"
Hearing Yao, she shook her head, hesitated a little, and finally decided to say it, "Niangniang, at that time, Niangniang gave birth, and the slave maid heard that the imperial doctor said that Niangniang might have a difficult birth, and the decision made by the emperor was to protect the great."
Su Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "The palace knows, when the fourth prince wakes up, bring him over, go down first." ”
Hearing Yao's blessing of the body, "Yes, the slave and maid retired." ”
Su Jingxi saw her back leaving, slowly moved her body, and lay down, her heart was complicated and indescribable, and in the end she just hooked the corners of her mouth, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The years are quiet, why not cherish it.
The time of confinement is extremely difficult, but fortunately it is winter, otherwise the doors and windows are closed, and if you don't wash for a long time, you are afraid that there will be a bad smell on your body, which will be pungent.
And now, although he was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, his hair was a little oily, wrapped in a turban, and he couldn't see anything, at least he didn't feel anything, and he would come in to visit her every day as usual, talk to her, tease the little guy, and there was no disgust on his face and eyes.
Yes, he didn't mind, so she didn't care.
Time flies extremely fast, in a blink of an eye it is Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Jingxi also sat for more than twenty days of confinement, but because Xia Mo said a word, it is good for her to sit for a few more days of confinement in her body, Zong Zhengjin knew, with a wave of her hand, she directly decided her fate on Chinese New Year's Eve, still lying on the bed.
Coquettishness, cheating, and protesting are useless, and in the end they can only accept their fate.
Who made her "soft-spoken", and he was "domineering".
After slandering in his heart, he watched him leave, and took away the resentment of a place.
Zong Zhengjin didn't see her resentful eyes, with a little smile in his eyes, and strode out. "The emperor has arrived," the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, and Zong Zhengjin restrained the smile in his eyes, changed into a normal face, and stepped in.
The officials and concubines all stood up and saluted, shouting in unison, "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Zong Zhengjin has long been accustomed to this, or a little numb, and he didn't feel anything wrong, walked to the top, and waved his hand casually, "Calm down, you don't have to be polite." ”
"Your Majesty."
After a simple routine lecture, Zong Zhengjin let them take a seat, glanced at the concubines below, knowing that it was impossible to see the figure of the little woman, but he was invisibly disappointed, the crowd of people in the hall surrounded him, but he did not feel as lively and excited as he imagined.
On the contrary, there is a lack of interest.
The significance of Chinese New Year's Eve to him is actually not significant, most of the things when the mother concubine was alive, he can't remember most of them, after the death of the mother concubine, he was left alone, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve is just with the imperial brother and others to see the banquet, and others are hypocritical.
Today has never been a real holiday, and there is no joy to speak of.
The emperor didn't speak, only quietly enjoyed the song and dance, and the concubines below didn't dare to disturb the emperor's interest at will, and only looked like they were concentrating on appreciation, but the corner of his eye was paying attention to the movement next to him.
Qiao Jingshu saw that he was just sitting there alone, although she focused her eyes on the singing and dancing in the center of the hall, but she knew that his mind was not on this at all.
She didn't know where his heart was, but she knew that his heart wasn't.
glanced at the concubines at the bottom without a trace, with a good face, youth, and a beautiful person, but after entering the palace for a long time, they all more or less made those beautiful eyes dyed with a bit of greed, not pure, not clean, so that people can look at it and feel disliked.
Qiao Jingshu seemed to see her own reflection from their bodies, but in fact, there was not much difference.
"Emperor, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, although the courtier concubine should not say these words at this time, but it is really a last resort, and I hope that the emperor can answer the courtier's concubine," Qiao Jingshu retracted her gaze and turned to the person above.
Zong Zhengjin also retracted his gaze when he heard this, hooked the corners of his mouth, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "If there is anything, Concubine Ai just talk about it." ”
Qiao Jingshu chuckled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the concubine is heavy, and she must be born after a while, and she doesn't have so much energy to take care of all the things in the harem, and the concubine is always bad because of her own reasons, which has affected the sisters." ”
The other concubines were all happy when they heard it, whether it was on their faces or not, but they were greedy, and Concubine Shu's words were handing over the palace power, so they had a chance.
Zong Zhengjin glanced at her bulging belly, and frowned without a trace, others didn't know the truth of the matter, but he couldn't be clearer.
The reason why she kept the "child" in her belly and created such an illusion was just so that the real child could be foolproof, so as to attract the attention of others and block the arrows in the open and in the dark.
But now that the little woman's child has been born safely, this "child" is naturally of little use.
couldn't guess her thoughts, but Zong Zhengjin believed that she wouldn't mess around, let alone challenge his bottom line, as for the rest, he couldn't tolerate it.
nodded, "According to Shu'er, who should hand over the palace power to?"
Qiao Jingshu was not surprised that he agreed to her, she always knew what his bottom line was, as for the rest, it was just mutual use, and chuckled, "The concubine thinks that in terms of qualifications and honor, this person is the sister of the virtuous concubine, and she used to be the assistant of the concubine in the sixth palace, and she performed well." ”
Concubine Xian didn't know what Concubine Shu's intentions were, but she intuitively felt that Concubine Shu was not well-intentioned, and the relationship between the two had always been discordant, and there must be demons when things go wrong.
Hearing this, he waved his hand again and again, "Where did Shu Guifei Niangniang say, the concubine is only a shallow learner, but she knows some fur and cares about it, if it weren't for Shu Guifei Niangniang to watch, I am afraid that this harem will have been messed up by the concubine, and she will never be praised by her mother." ”
Although this sentence is a bit excessive, it is also a step that is not conducive to her, but there is no way at the moment, and for a while, she really can't think of a better excuse.
