One hundred and sixty-one
is a concubine again, and he has lost his wife, and even has an eldest son, which sounds like how careless and sloppy the man is in this matter, and this lack of sincerity in this pro-begging. Bayi Chinese ???.? 8. But Xie Lian's condition is not very good, she is already old, and her feet are still a little lame, although she can't see it if she doesn't look carefully. With her condition, if she didn't occupy the position of Shaining's cousin, it would be strange that others would take a fancy to her.
Princess Mingshou continued: "I also know this sixth child, and he often mixes with our family and horses. Although he is not very good at studying, he is a good person, and he has a position as a priest in Honglu Temple. The biological mother died a long time ago. Even if he doesn't rely on the Hou Mansion, he can stand on his own and support his wife and children, since the death of his original wife, many people are eager to kiss him again. I think he is a good person, and he will not insult Miss Xie, so I specially entered the palace to tell you. Anyway, I brought the news, you can get an idea whether it will be successful or not. ”
Xie Ning believes that Princess Mingwei will not speak for people who don't know the details, and also believes that since she has praised her, this person's character and ability are indeed outstanding.
But the problem is that she is not afraid that others are not worthy of Xie Lian, she is afraid that Xie Lian is not worthy of others. Xie Lian is naturally much stronger than Xie Liu, but what impresses Xie Ning the most is her snarky face and the same greed as Xie Liu.
Although the six young men in the Anting Hou Mansion are concubines and have lost their wives, it should not be difficult to find a suitable wife. The reason why he fell in love with Xie Lian, who was already lame, was completely forced by the times.
Princess Mingwei looked at her face and said understandingly: "I know, it's not convenient for you to express your stance on this kind of thing." At this time, more things are better than less, and the Anting Marquis Mansion is really too snobbish to do this. It's a dilemma for you to take a stand now. I'll go back and talk to them, and I'm sure they'll be able to forgive you. ”
Xie Ning nodded: "Lao, you can explain it for me, to be tactful." My aunt just didn't, and their sisters are still in the hot filial piety, so it's really not appropriate to discuss the relatives. In the past two days, I have arranged for someone to send them back to their hometown. ”
Princess Mingwei nodded and said, "Exactly." I've forgotten about it, so I'll go back and tell them about it. ”
It is indeed not a long-term solution to keep their sisters in Beijing, and now I don't know how many people are beating the Xie sisters' idea, and it is not only the Anting Hou Mansion, when the time comes, if something ugly happens, Xie Ning will have to lose face.
"I actually have one more thing to come here today," Princess Mingwei paused for a moment before saying, "I have heard about Uncle Wei Wang's joint letter, when does the imperial brother plan to deal with Mingshou?" ”
Shainin hesitated. The emperor has already made up his mind, just because he is unwilling to kill people on this Mid-Autumn Festival.
But the festival has already passed, and most of it is the matter of these two days.
If she doesn't say it, Princess Mingwei can guess it.
"I'll wait to go to Changning Palace, I don't know if the imperial brother is free to see me. Although there is not much friendship between our sisters, I still want to talk to the royal brother and see her for the last time. It's also strange to say, she used to bully me a lot, when I was young, I was worse than the palace maid next to her, she was the first to pick any good things, and when she made a mistake, she pushed me to my heart's content. At that time, I cursed her a lot in my heart. Even after we were married, she still didn't change her earlier temper, and the evil things she did couldn't be explained. But now that she's at this point, I don't hate her anymore. Anyway, even if I go to give her a ride, I will not be a sister in vain if I go back and ask people to cook two dishes that she usually loves to eat. ”
Xie Ning had no choice but to say: "The emperor must be appropriated." ”
Princess Mingwei lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the child she raised outside, someone had already told the emperor about his whereabouts. There was a lot of talk outside. According to the law, this child should be killed. But after all, he is still a child who has no memory, and he has been entrusted to others to raise, and he doesn't know who his biological parents are, let alone these rebellious things, and it's pitiful. ”
If that kid really didn't know his life experience, with Xie Ning's understanding of the emperor, he shouldn't want his life.
Princess Mingwei was somewhat injured: "I don't know if those old people in the clan took the wrong medicine or what's going on, and they even want to sentence her to death, and the royal brother is afraid that these people have been drowning in these days, right?" ”
When it comes to political affairs, Shainin just smiled and didn't say a word.
Princess Mingwei also knew that although Xie Ning was easy-going, she couldn't say a word what she shouldn't say, and her mouth was tighter than a mussel shell. is not as frivolous and shallow as some people in the palace, and when he is proud, he will say anything.
Princess Mingwei still had to go to the Changning Palace, and when she left, she asked people to fill a bowl of summer soup and drink it before leaving.
Fang Shanggong came in with a smile and said, "The princess really doesn't want to see her master." ”
"That's all she can say."
Anyway, before this canonization was done, Xie Ning already had some experience of the feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold in the heights. In the harem, if there is no queen, she is considered to be of high rank. In the past few days, many people have come to congratulate her, and their old acquaintances Liang Meiren, Bai Meiren, and Liu Cairen came together in pairs. As soon as he saw Shainin, he was almost startled. I haven't seen him for a while, why is Liu Cairen so old? He was thin and thin, but he was wearing a new garment. But the garment was too wide, as if it were hanging on the body. Fat powder was used on his face, and the whole person still looked unattractive.
She was very cramped in front of Shainin, and she couldn't think of anything to say except for a word of congratulations.
How to say that in the past, he was also a companion who lived in the same palace, Xie Ning still remembered Liu Cairen's appearance when he first entered the palace. At that time, Liu Cairen was also young and delicate, with pink skin, and when he got up in the morning, he met in the yard, and everyone talked and laughed together, and he didn't have many scruples.
No matter how sincere and fake the relationship was at that time, there were happy times after all.
But now there is not even a cold word.
Liu Cairen looked like he had aged many years all of a sudden, like a flower that had not yet bloomed, and had withered to an alarming degree.
Not only her, but everyone else is also like this, after entering Yong'an Palace, she was respectful and restrained, and called her a mother.
In the future, it will be even more difficult to find someone who can talk and laugh together, and it seems that there is probably only one such as Princess Mingwei.
Maybe over time, she will get used to all this. Accustomed to the sincere fear of others in front of her, accustomed to hearing the flattery and flattery of others.
Xie Ning secretly reminded himself in his heart, don't forget who you are, don't become a stranger who can't even recognize yourself. Whether it is Concubine Shu or Princess Mingshou, they have all lost themselves in power, and when they finally turned back, they could no longer find the way they had walked.
Therefore, women in the palace rarely really make friends with other concubines, and most of them have a few words with the henchmen around them.
Fang Shanggong registered the gift lists received in the past few days by category and brought them to Xie Ning for seeing.
Xie Ning looked at the past at a glance, these congratulatory gifts were sent by everyone in the harem, according to Fang Shanggong, Concubine Shu often received heavy gifts from outside the palace back then. When she came to Shaining, because the time was not right, everyone was holding their tails and acting in a low-key manner, but no one came to give gifts to congratulate her on her promotion.
Thankfully, it's just right not to send it. She can't do this kind of thing without merit and without mercy, and she can't do this kind of thing without reason. If people give gifts to please her, they are seeking greater benefits, and they are coming for fame, fortune and power, Xie would rather not take on this kind of trouble.
The ink marks on the booklet are very new, and it can be seen that this booklet has just been copied and registered, but the handwriting is not the common characters that Xie Ning is familiar with.
Fang Shanggong explained: "The slave maid grabbed a helper, Xia Yue's handwriting is quite good. ”
Xie Ning smiled and said, "Then you can save your effort." ”
Fang Shanggong hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "The emperor has already decided to give Princess Mingshou to death?" ”
Xie Ning nodded silently, and said in confusion: "It's like someone is instigating manipulation behind the scenes, and everyone asks the emperor to kill Princess Mingshou." ”
Of course, no one will manipulate this matter behind the scenes, and the emperor must know it in his heart. It is precisely because no one manipulates it that this incident makes Shainin feel even more strange.
It can't be that so many people are all people who Princess Mingshou has offended, right? The reason for this is probably only the emperor can tell her.
After taking a nap, Bai Hongqi called his apprentice to come over and spread the word, saying that the emperor had summoned Xie Ning to Changning Hall to speak.
Xie Ning has not been to Changning Palace for a long time, and after having a child, the emperor will come to Yong'an Palace as long as he is free. And usually the emperor will not come over in broad daylight, once or twice is nothing, the number of times the imperial history should speak, the emperor always drills into the harem is a manifestation of absurdity and laxity.
Fang Shanggong led Qinghe Qingmei to clean up her makeup, and the sedan chair that came to pick up Xie Ning had already arrived in front of Yong'an Palace.
From Yong'an Palace to Changning Palace, it is not as far away as when it was still in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion before, and the road on the right side of Yanning Palace is inserted, and it is not practical to use a sedan chair, and it doesn't take much effort for Xie Ning to slowly pacing over by himself.
When passing outside the walls of Yanning Palace, Xie Ning couldn't help but lift the sedan curtain and take a look out.
The gate of Yanning Palace was closed and there was no popularity. Princess Yuyao moved away, Concubine Shu committed suicide, and the people who originally served here also had different destinations. The sunlight reflected the copper nails on the vermilion lacquer gate, and Xie Ning suddenly remembered the first time he came to Yanning Palace.
That day was Concubine Shu's birthday, and Yanning Palace was like a city to congratulate Keyun. That day, Xie Ning also met Princess Yuyao. In a blink of an eye, the house was empty, the door was closed, and others were afraid of being infected with the bad luck of the concubine. Over time, the place became even more desolate and desolate.
Xie Ning gently lowered the curtain, and the eunuch carrying the sedan chair quickened his pace, and soon left Yanning Palace behind.
