Chapter 365: Choose a good daughter-in-law for me
"E-Niang......" The little girl couldn't stand the pain, looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, stopped and begged, "E-niang, my stomach hurts." ”
Mrs. Tong was stunned, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Where do you hurt?" ”
When the palace maid on the side heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Miss, do you want to get rid of it?" ”
Tong Yuanxi nodded again and again: "Can you take me there?" ”
Mrs. Tong hurriedly said: "How can this be done, the Queen Mother is still waiting for us, how can you let the Queen Mother wait for you, you child, grit your teeth and endure it for me." ”
"Don't get in the way, Mrs. Tong, you just go to see the Queen Mother first, the slave will send the young lady in a while, the Queen Mother is the most amiable and loves girls the most." The palace maid said angrily, "You think, it's better than losing your honor in front of the emperor." ”
"That's what you said." Mrs. Tong was helpless, seeing that her daughter's face was pale, she didn't dare to be careless, so she casually touched two pieces of broken silver and stuffed them to the palace maid, asking her to take care of them, but she didn't dare to delay the time and didn't dare to let the queen mother wait, and after telling her daughter a thousand times, she left in a hurry.
Yuan Xi was taken to a nearby place to solve her stomach pain, everywhere in the palace was clean, she was also at ease, and after a while of tinkering inside, her stomach was finally relaxed.
But in the end, she is also a big girl, she ran to the palace to do this, and she was too ashamed to come out to meet people for a while.
But the palace maid outside the door was suddenly urged to do something else, and the palace maid who was higher than her was very anxious, and even shouted to take people away, she could only shout inside: "Miss Tong, you wait here for a slave maid, and the slave maid will come to pick you up soon." ”
"Huh?" Yuan Xi didn't hear clearly, and when she chased her out, there was no one outside the door.
She circled around three times, and there was no one to be found who could take her away, and there were people in the distance. She hesitated for a moment on the door, for fear that her mother would be in a hurry for fear of making the Queen Mother angry, so she walked along the root of the wall, met the little eunuch on duty, and asked timidly: "Little father-in-law, may I ask which way Cining Palace is going." ”
The little eunuch was just about to answer, when he saw a group of people coming over in the distance, and he was busy saluting, Yuan Xi was stunned, turned around to look, and saw more than a dozen people hugging thin and tall young men, looking at their faces, wasn't it the son who helped her pay for wontons at the market on the first day of the new year?
"It's really the emperor...... Yuan Xi read blankly, and when she went home that day and told her brother what happened to her, she hadn't seen the emperor, but she knew Dorgon.
Brother Tong Guogang analyzed, it must be the emperor's private visit to be taken away by the regent, my brother hurt her, told her not to tell her father, and not to mention her father, Eniang must be scared half to death in a fuss.
Yuan Xi stood against the wall, and Fu Lin walked over slowly, because the palace people here had already knelt down and saluted, and when Yuan Xi reacted, he was several beats slower, and Fu Lin naturally saw her.
Seeing that this girl was not wearing a palace maid's dress, she couldn't help but take another look, and asked casually: "You are not from the palace?" ”
Yuan Xi was also generous, and responded: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave is the daughter of Tong Tulai with a white flag." ”
Fu Lin smiled coldly in his heart, the person with the white flag is Dolgon's person, Tong Tulai is Dolgon's right-hand man, although he has rescued and protected Eniang and him many times, but he doesn't like anyone who is Dolgon.
He only told Wu Liangfu last night that even if he drafted a concubine in the future, Dolgon would definitely interfere and send the woman he thought was suitable into the palace to be his eyeliner. So soon, there was one in front of the eye.
So he didn't say anything, didn't look any more, and the emperor walked away.
"Girl, the emperor is far away, I'll take you to Cining Palace." I don't know how long later, the little eunuch on the side came to call her, Yuan Xi staggered up, but her knees were cold, and when she lowered her head, sure enough, her skirt was wet, and the little eunuch who led the way had already walked away, and she had to follow.
In Cining Palace, Mrs. Tong was restless, and several other noble ladies were on the side with their well-behaved daughters, but their little girl had not yet come.
At this time, a palace maid came in and whispered a few words in Su Mala's ear, Su Mala glanced at Mrs. Tong's side, and quietly retreated.
When I came to the door, I saw a beautiful little girl standing outside the door and refused to come in, and she was begging the palace maid on the side to let her bake a fire.
Yuan Xi was in a bad situation, although he was so anxious that his face was red, he was quite calm, and he was very generous when he spoke and begged for others, and when he looked up and saw a decent person like Su Mala, he didn't know her identity, so he just stepped aside, and saw that the palace maids and eunuchs on the side did not kneel but just lowered their heads, so she also bowed her head, and at first glance she was a well-bred child.
"You're the young lady of Lord Tong's family." Su Mala walked over and asked gently, "Miss Tong, is that you?" ”
"Hui, Hui Niangniang's words, he is a slave, and his father is Tong Tulai." Yuan Xi timidly looked at Su Mala, who had a pleasant face, but still answered well.
Su Mala hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss, the slave maid is the palace maid in front of the queen mother, not the mother." Come, the slave will take you to the roasting fire, but don't catch a cold, where did you wet your clothes? ”
Holding the soft and warm hand, Yuan Xi was immediately relieved, and followed Su Mala a few steps to a side hall, and soon other palace maids came to serve her.
The palace maids were quick with their hands and feet, and quickly dried Yuan Xi's skirt, Su Mala also took the queen mother's balm and smeared some on her little wrist, Yuan Xi said happily: "It's fragrant." ”
But the auspicious time has arrived, and the banquet is about to begin, and the ministers of civil and military affairs have been brought, Su Mala can only order the other palace maids to lead Tong Yuanxi to find her mother, and she will go back to serve the queen mother first.
When Yuan Xi finally saw her mother, E-Niang was already with Brother Ama, and when Mrs. Tong saw her, she was first relieved, and then she was angry, and whispered angrily: "Be honest with me, and if there is a situation, be careful of your skin." ”
There were many guests at the banquet, and there were many daughters of beautiful and lovely families.
After the banquet dispersed, he withdrew from the Forbidden City, and on the carriage back to the house, Tong Tulai persuaded his wife: "That palace is not necessarily a good place, I don't want my daughter to enter the palace, I can't choose a better one in the future, and I don't like it uncommon for the Queen Mother to like it." Don't be angry, it's a big deal. ”
Mrs. Tong said angrily: "Who cares if she can ask the Empress Dowager to be elected, I'm afraid that I will be rude today and turn around and cause trouble for you, the regent is not easy to mess with, if anything happens to you, I will regret dying, Xi'er will also regret dying, is this a trivial matter?" You just have to spoil it, look, how is it now? ”
Tong Tulai grabbed his head disappreciatively: "The child didn't make a big mistake, as for it?" The Queen Mother has seen so many children today, and she won't know if she sees one of them. ”
But at the moment. In Cining Palace, Yu'er was thinking about it: "Why didn't you see the children of the Tong Tulai family?" At first, he said that he would come later, but then he didn't wait to come, so the kid is okay, right? ”
Su Mala told what she had encountered, and said with a smile: "I came, I didn't catch up with the hour, but the slave maid looked, she was really a generous and well-behaved girl, and her appearance was also likable and beautiful." ”
Yu'er said: "The children of this age are beautiful, just look at the small, I really don't want to see the children of this age enter the palace, I was scared half to death, and when I saw them, I felt that they were also pitiful." There are still some years left to come, wait until they grow up. ”
Su Mala took off his coat for Gege, held it in his arms and said, "Then it should be the emperor's election." ”
Yu'er brushed her still black long hair, and said longingly: "Qifujin is right, it's just a blink of an eye, I don't know what the situation will be between the concubines in the future, and I don't know if my mother-in-law can do a good job, so it's better to be comfortable for two years at this time." ”
Su Mala packed up her things, came to fold the quilt for the master, persuaded her to rest early, and asked by the way: "Are you really not going back to Shengjing in February?" ”
Yu'er bowed: "Let Fulin go back by himself, I won't go." ”
Su Mala said: "Didn't you say okay, you want to go back and see Da Gege and see the first emperor?" ”
Yu'er smiled sadly: "Su Mala, I left here at the same time as Fulin, and I let Beijing City out, I'm afraid that our mother and son will not return." ”
Su Mala was startled and froze.
"It's true, Su Mala, you can't take it lightly at any time." Yu'er said, "It's not that I don't want to see my sister and the first emperor, I'm going to see them now, what are you talking about?" The country is not finished, it all belongs to Fulin, and it is still early to be comfortable. ”
"The slave knows." Su Mala was no longer entangled, "Don't worry, the slave and maid will serve the emperor all the way, and serve the emperor and Da Gege on your behalf." ”
Yu'er smiled leisurely: "You tell my sister to let her choose a good daughter-in-law for me in heaven and give birth to a good emperor in the Qing Dynasty." ”
