Chapter 13 Concubine Shen wants to mention his wife
The autumn wind rises, and the night is long. The night was low, and the waning moon was like a hook.
Duo girl is reading a book in the candlelight, obsessed with it.
The Xinu people are doing their own work. It's not embroidery, it's wiping every corner of the room, or it's preparing bathing water and petals for a girl.
"Princess, it's time to bathe." Midori came to Duo Meizi's side and called softly.
Duo Meizi nodded, "Okay." "Look up from the book. Walking outside, looking at the heat that kept coming out of the tub, she took off her clothes and stepped into the tub.
The temperature of the water is moderate, and Lu Qi is very concerned about these things, and after remembering the temperature of the hot water she likes, she carefully adjusts the temperature before letting her bathe every day.
"Tomorrow, the prince and Concubine Shen will enter the palace to see Concubine De." Lu Qi said while wiping the back of the girl.
"Yes." Duo Meizi answered, but did not reply, and now she doesn't want to waste too much god on this.
Lu Qi stopped his mouth and said again, and then mentioned Concubine Shen and Xuanyuan Che.
……
The next day, early in the morning, Xuanyuan Che and Concubine Shen went to the palace together.
The two of them sat in the carriage hand in hand, and their posture was almost as good as the prince's guard of honor.
On the carriage, Concubine Shen took the cloak embroidered that day and put it on Xuanyuan Che, the gluttonous pattern on it is very exquisite, which makes people like it when they look at it, I don't know how many nights Concubine Shen stayed up for this cloak.
Xuanyuan Che put his cloak aside, "It's not cold now, there's no need, let's leave it here." ”
Concubine Shen took the cloak embarrassedly, and stroked it on the cloak with her fingertips: "Master, are you tired of Jie'er?" ”
"Nope." Originally, he thought that Xuanyuan Che would persuade him with a few words, but he had nothing but an indifferent expression.
Concubine Shen opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Xuanyuan Che's tired and tired face, she shut up and silently enjoyed the good time she had with Xuanyuan Che, since Sister Duo entered the mansion, Xuanyuan Che hadn't been alone with her for a long, long time.
Entering the palace, Xuanyuan Che said coldly: "You go to the harem to say hello to Concubine De, and I will go to the imperial study to face the saint." ”
Concubine Shen was unwilling, and looked at him with clear eyes: "Master, aren't you going with the concubine?" ”
"No, don't go......" Xuanyuan Che left with only one sentence.
Concubine Shen pulled the handkerchief in her hand tightly, there was a trace of resentment in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised a touch of unwillingness.
In order to enter the palace today, she deliberately dressed up, these years, she has been in charge of the financial power of the palace, and there are countless good things sent into the palace from all over the world, plus her original dowry, she is also rich.
Nowadays, what is worn on the head and on the body is naturally excellent.
Concubine Shen slowly moved into Concubine De's palace, Concubine De was drinking tea, and when she saw her niece enter the palace, she smiled and looked even more luxurious.
Concubine De is also in her forties this year, but because of proper maintenance, fair skin, and the delicate makeup of the palace maid, she looks like she is in her early thirties, graceful and luxurious. Concubine De has been in the palace for many years without children, and there is only one princess under her knees, but she is good at strategy and pleasing the emperor, so she controls half of the power in the palace.
It is precisely because he has no children under his knees that he wants to support one from many princes for his own use, and after a hundred years of the emperor, he will also have the name of the queen mother, and he will not be bullied by the concubines in the palace.
"Jie'er, I just talked to my grandmother about you, so you came, come to my aunt's place, and let my aunt take a good look." Without waiting for Concubine Shen to say goodbye, Concubine De hurriedly put down the tea in her hand and said happily with a smile like a flower on her face.
Concubine Shen pursed her lips and smiled, and asked for peace: "The cheap concubine has seen Concubine De, and Concubine De is blessed." ”
Concubine De deliberately lowered her face, with a coquettish expression: "What do you say, this child, why is he so polite, when he arrives at his aunt's place, it is like going home, hurry up and come to his aunt." ”
Concubine Shen walked into Concubine De lightly, she didn't have any expression, and she looked even more well-behaved, Concubine De took Concubine Shen's hand: "Jie'er, look at what's wrong with you, you were quite round when I saw you a few days ago, and now you are a lot thinner." ”
Concubine Shen sat down, and the smile on her face was like the sunshine of spring: "Aunt is worried, Jie'er is very good." ”
When she said this sentence 'very good', her eyes were red, as if she had been wronged, and when Concubine De saw this, she retreated from her left and right, and then asked: "Jie'er, have you suffered any grievances, is it Che'er who has wronged you, or is it a new sister in the house, she bullied you, tell your aunt, aunt is in charge of you." ”
"Auntie, no, I'm fine, I'm just homesick, they're all fine, they didn't bully Jie'er." Concubine Shen said these words with an obvious crying tone, and covered her nose with a handkerchief, trying not to let herself cry out loud.
When Concubine De saw Concubine Shen's posture, she basically knew everything, and called out lightly, "Gonggong Wen, you go and call King Yu's concubine into the palace, and say that I want to talk to her." ”
Concubine Shen hurriedly stopped: "Auntie, Concubine Shen is now pregnant with the flesh and blood of the prince, and her body is expensive, the prince knows how to hate me." ”
Concubine De immediately waved her hand: "I said, you have been in the palace for all these years, and you can become a concubine when you see it, and you can occupy the position of the concubine, I didn't expect her to be pregnant, you are really, why has there been no movement in your stomach all these years." ”
Concubine Shen was originally unbalanced in her heart, but now she heard her aunt laughing at her stomach, and she was even more aggrieved.
Concubine De looked at Concubine Shen's delicate appearance, and then said: "Aunt doesn't blame you, there are still three concubines in the house, none of you are pregnant, but she got pregnant as soon as she came, it's really strange, if there is no child in her belly, it would be good, don't worry, I will ask the emperor for a decree and give you a position as a flat wife." ”
Only then did Concubine Shen ease the expression on her face, and slowly returned to normal, knowing that her aunt loved her the most.
Gonggong Wen waited on the side for a long time before he dared to say: "Niangniang, do you want to invite Princess Yu?" ”
"Go ahead, and call those toasts of the Yu clan too." Concubine De thought for a while before she said slowly.
"Princess, Gonggong Wen next to Concubine De in the palace came, saying that Concubine De Niangniang invited the princess into the palace to see her." Yun Mei said in a deep voice outside the door to the contemplative Xi Nu in the room.
"Concubine De wants to see the princess?" Xi Nu immediately looked at Xi Nu, and a flash of worry appeared in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xi Nu's eyebrows frowned tighter, why did everything come together! Concubine De summoned her, she couldn't refuse no matter what, but it was probably because of the child in her belly.
"Let Lu Mi accompany this princess into the palace, and you will stay and watch the courtyard." Duo Meizi commanded.
When he walked out of the room, Lu Mi looked at Xi Nu and stopped talking, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, "Princess...... You ......"
Xi Nu glanced sideways at Lu Mi and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Princess...... Gonggong Wen just said that there was a happy event in the house, and the emperor issued a decree to seal Concubine Shen as his wife. In the future, there will be no Concubine Shen in the house, only Princess Shen. Yunmei lowered her head and said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, the light in Xinu's eyes immediately turned cold as ice, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Flat wife?
Hearing this, a sneer pulled out at the corner of Xinu's mouth, it seems that Concubine Shen has gained a lot from this trip to the palace!
Qiu Ju's heart sank, if Concubine Shen was already a flat wife, then it might not be good for Concubine Shen De to summon the princess into the palace! Hurriedly looked at Yunmei, and said with a calm face: "This is what Gonggong Wen said?" ”
"Yes, that's what Gonggong Wen said himself." Yunmei lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Xi Nu's expression, so she lowered her head and replied.
"It's all right. Let's go. Xi Nu turned back to the nervous Qiu Ju and said. In fact, there is a lot of strangeness in this matter, after all, she was able to become a concubine because of the clan, and her cousin and his party have not yet returned, and they have just used medical Gu to save the emperor's head wind.
She didn't believe that a generation of emperors would spoil a concubine so much!
But, there must be something in it that she can't guess now, but she doesn't understand! After all, the decree has not yet been made!
The black eyes sparkled slightly, and that Gonggong Wen was just a eunuch beside Concubine De!
Seeing that Xi Nu was fine, Lu Mi turned back to Bai and said, "Don't make this matter public." "Whether it's true or not, if rumors spread in the house, it will be extremely unfavorable to the princess.
Bai Xun nodded hurriedly.
When he came to the front yard, Gonggong Wen was already a little impatient to wait. Seeing Xi Nu coming, he was a little impatient and said, "The princess has made the slave wait!" ”
If you don't salute, you will reproach when you meet. Xi Nu frowned slightly, and a touch of majesty was born between his eyebrows.
Gonggong Wen, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of characters in the palace, was stunned for a moment, and his heart was dark: When did this scheming mountain village girl have such a posture? A small gesture should not be underestimated. He also knew that he was rude just now, so he hurriedly added: "The slave sees Princess Yu." ”
"Let's go." Xi Nu glanced at Gonggong Wen, and understood that this Gonggong Wen obviously didn't regard her as a princess, just by saying just now, she could know how Concubine De looked down on her. However, it doesn't matter if there is bottomless deep water or a vast sea ahead. She's not afraid to break through.
Gonggong Wen was stunned, why did she react so blandly? Didn't the little maid tell her about Concubine Shen being raised as a wife just now? Why didn't she question? And then take the opportunity to lose your identity and lose your temper? Just when he was guessing and losing his mind, a cold voice of Xi Nu came from his ears: "Could it be that Father-in-law Wen is not in a hurry to leave?" In this way, the princess might as well go back to the house to drink a cup of hot tea, and when Gonggong Wen feels that it is time to leave, the princess will leave again. ”
The calm and waveless words made Gonggong Wen stunned, he was just a little distracted just now, and he was found by her. Isn't this mountain village aunt the legendary pungent and brutal and willful? "The slave lost his mind just now, and the princess is not surprised. Concubine De is still waiting in the palace. Gonggong Wen hurriedly replied.
Duo Meizi nodded faintly.
Sitting in the carriage sent by the palace to greet her, although Duo Meizi's face was calm, her palms were already damp. In the palace, if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return, and Concubine Shen De is obviously uneasy and kind, plus Concubine Shen, the two of them get together, I don't know what kind of trap they will put to wait for her to jump.
"I don't know why Concubine De recruited the princess into the palace?" Midori wrinkled his eyebrows.
