Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Da Li Zi persuaded: "The slave thinks that the queen mother is broad-minded, and there is naturally sadness and sadness, but if the emperor has no worries about the heirs, no matter whose child it is, the queen mother will sincerely accept it and raise it with heart." Your Majesty, what do you say? ”
"It's nature." Xuan Ye said, "But what I want you to intervene in, you do it carefully, don't let people see any clues, not everyone is worthy of me to have children, but I didn't treat them badly." ”
Da Li Zi responded, but he also had to say: "The slave is worried, like Concubine Zhao's mother, after a long time, there will be few people who instigate it, it was Concubine Zhao's own shortcomings, but she has become the emperor." ”
"That's her life, too." Xuan Ye said, "Because of this, what shouldn't be born can't be born, you don't have to worry about anything else." ”
Da Li Zi bowed down and said, "The slave leads the order." ”
A few days later, early in the morning, the Shenwu Sect was lively, it was the primary election of the Internal Affairs Office, and only after passing a pass was he eligible to enter the palace election.
The emperor has established a harem for more than seven years, in addition to the queen, there is only one concubine in the high position, but Concubine Zhao has not come out for many years, and many people are looking forward to this time, their daughter can enter the palace as soon as she is on the rise.
But this time, the emperor only wanted to choose a few docile and gentle women to fill the six palaces, and did not consider the envelopment above the court for the time being.
To the Qin'an Palace, now don't say that the queen mother, even the queen mother is no longer present, only the queen and Concubine Zhao are accompanied, as if to tell the ministers outside, regardless of the emperor's court and inner palace, everything is up to him.
After the palace election in the morning, Xuan Ye hurried back to the Qianqing Palace to deal with military affairs, and the Queen Mother prepared a meal and invited the queen to go with Concubine Zhao.
The two walked together, the autumn in the imperial garden was full of joy, Shu Shu couldn't help but stop, Lingzhao also stopped, Shu Shu reached out from her bun, plucked a fallen leaf.
Ling Zhao touched his sideburns and smiled awkwardly: "Walking under the tree in autumn is inevitable, which makes Niangniang smile." ”
They continued to move forward, and Shu Shu said: "We have been in the palace for so many years, have you seen the four seasons in the palace well?" ”
Ling Zhao was stunned, and then shook his head frankly: "The concubine has never looked at it carefully. ”
Shu Shu said: "The Empress Dowager is also at this age before she really takes a look at the scenery of the Forbidden City, and after she wants to come to us, it will be the same." But the Empress Dowager always said, don't let us live up to our good age, how can we live up to it, how can we live up to it, do you understand? ”
Ke Lingzhao said: "Niangniang, the concubine has had little interest in spring flowers and autumn moons since she was a child, and she has been learning rules and skills since she can remember, and she doesn't know that the flowers bloom and fall outside the window." The children of other families are looking forward to the New Year's holidays, but the concubines are most afraid of these festivals, tired of being taken by the elders to greet them constantly, and are always curious about where Ama came from, and how the elders in the family are getting more and more year by year. ”
"But now in the palace, you will be busy with big and small banquets." Shu Shu said, "If you are bored, don't be patient, even if you take a break." ”
Ling Zhao shook his head: "In the past, I was forced to do everything I didn't want to do, but now it is the trust of the emperor and the mother who give me glory and dignity, and the concubines like to take care of these trivial things, and they don't want to pick up other piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings." ”
Shu Shu smiled: "After entering the palace, although I have been detained in this Forbidden City for the rest of my life, I am also free, right?" ”
Ling Zhao was pleased: "What Niangniang said is that at least the concubines are freer than when they were children, and they are a hundred times stronger than at home." ”
Shu Shu looked ahead and walked slowly: "I have a scar on my forehead, and when I was young, I didn't want to be close to outsiders, so I thought that I knew that everyone was laughing at me for being ugly, I didn't listen or look at it, so I was quiet." People outside thought that I was a cold and introverted child, but at home, I was the master of the roof and the tiles in three days, and my favorite thing to do when I was a child was to catch insects in the mud and trees to scare the maids and grandmothers. ”
Ling Zhao said with a smile: "The concubine once greeted the concubine, you didn't even look at the concubine, at that time, the concubine also thought that all the young ladies of the family lived the same life as the concubine, and you didn't care about the concubine because you were lonely and arrogant." ”
Shu Shu said: "The extreme inferiority complex in my heart makes me not think about whether the world has good intentions or malicious intentions towards me, and I keep everyone out of my world." ”
"But the concubine has never felt your inferiority, on the contrary......" Ling Zhao smiled bitterly, "Everyone will only feel that you are high up in the queen." ”
Shu Shu said: "Because now, one person is below ten thousand people, and I know that no one in the world dares to laugh at me, and I have also been free." ”
Ling Zhao was stunned, she didn't expect the queen to say it so bluntly.
Shu Shu is a Wan'er, under the bright autumn sun, full of temperament, so noble and peaceful.
"We entered the palace to marry the emperor, and we all had a better life than before." Shu Shu said, "But in this harem, the further back the young girl enters the palace, it is not so easy." ”
"Yes."
"Concubine Zhao, a smile on the emperor's face, a fan, and a night of grace will be the object of their competition." Shu Shu said, "The harems of all dynasties and dynasties are like this, and we can't avoid it when we come here, sooner or later, it will become like that." ”
Ling Zhao's expression was solemn: "Niangniang, do you want to explain what to the concubine?" ”
Shu Shu said: "Your dignity cannot be replaced by anyone in the future, I say these words now, you will definitely not be useful, but if you think about it now, it is better than being confused in the future." ”
Ling Zhao stopped and bent his knees and said, "Please show the queen mother, and the concubine will remember it." ”
Shu Shu said: "In the future, the little palace concubines below, no matter how noisy they are, don't mix with them, your dignity is not worthy of them." ”
Ling Zhao slowly got up, surprised that the queen said this.
Shu Shu said: "You and I will protect the harem and children for the emperor together, and one day, we can calm down and enjoy the flowers blooming and falling." ”
It just so happened that Zhong Cui Palace was not far away, and the two people who had torn their faces there in the middle of the night could say such heartfelt words at this moment, which was incredible.
Ling Zhao knew in his heart that in the past seven years, even if the emperor had an impetuous temperament in the early years and wronged her for the sake of worship, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the empress have never treated her badly, and the empress even did not hesitate to give up everything in the inner palace and put everything in her hands.
Lingzhao once cried, she wanted to make the Forbidden City home, but no one regarded her as family, but the truth was the opposite, the trust and friendship under the inferior status have always been there, but she can't see it herself, she is unwilling.
Ling Zhao said: "Every time I go to the Qin'an Palace, I will think of the draft that year, and when I was resting, my mother handed me a cup of hot tea. ”
Shu Shu smiled: "Do you remember? ”
Ling Zhao raised his head, looked at the autumn sun, looked at the red leaves poking out of the palace wall, and said: "It was from that cup of tea that the life of the concubine began to have dignity, and she was no longer bound by her father's clan, and from now on, when she is thirsty, she can drink tea." ”
Shu Shu looked at Ling Zhao, the bright sunshine illuminated her beautiful face, and she joked: "The people who live in Zhongcui Palace, let's ask the Queen Mother to roll the dice in a while, and the emperor plans to choose five people, how many are thrown, and the first few who are left with signs will live in Zhongcui Palace?" ”
Ling Zhao said with a smile: "Niangniang's words sound like a joke, and there seems to be no better way, maybe the person chosen by God can have good fortune." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, the temple election was reopened.
Let's say that the emperor seemed to be angry in the morning, and he didn't fancy any of them, and those who didn't marry the prince's son would have assigned their own marriage to their own family, so the original quota of five people fell in the afternoon.
It doesn't seem to be in a bad mood at this time, but a few girls with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes have been selected, among which Zhao Jia's and Zhang Jia's can be regarded as good-looking, and it just so happened that the Queen Mother threw a "three" at lunch, and Zhao Jia's was the third show girl who was left behind.
After that, the days of canonization and entering the palace were the responsibilities of Shu Shu and Lingzhao, and Xuan Ye finally got out, and he slipped away without saying a word.
Shu Shu came to Cining Palace to reinstate his life and complained to the imperial grandmother: "The boss is reluctant, it seems that he was not chosen for him." ”
Yu'er was learning calligraphy, and said angrily: "Complaining about the emperor, there are no rules." ”
Shu Shu said: "It's the emperor's hypocrisy, and he may not be happy in his heart." ”
"Who's stealing fun?" Xuan Ye's voice came from behind him, making Shu Shu startled.
Xuan Ye stepped forward and looked at her slanted from the corner of his eyes: "What did I say?" ”
Shu Shu walked around the table, hid behind the Empress Dowager, and said softly: "Imperial grandmother, look at him." ”
"Alright, let's bring the people back." Yu'er said, "She sat with you in the Qin'an Hall for a day without speaking, and she came here to talk to me, and I had a headache when I was arguing, so I quickly took it back." ”
Xuan Ye smiled faintly at Shu Shu: "Let's go, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
"Imperial Grandmother ......"
"Go ahead, I'm in the mood right now, let me write a few more words."
"Imperial grandmother, grandson retires." Xuan Ye saluted his grandmother, stepped forward, grabbed Shu Shu's wrist, and took the person out without waiting for Shu Shu to salute again.
Shu Shu trotted all the way behind, the bottom of the flower pot stepped on loudly, Su Mala came in from outside the screen, and said with a smile: "I thought the emperor had something important, and he came to receive his daughter-in-law." ”
Yu'er glanced out the window and said with a smile: "Rong Guiren is pregnant, and he is going to be drafted next, he feels guilty, let him go, knowing that it is a good thing to love his daughter-in-law." ”
