Chapter Seventy-Four: The Concubine (1/4)
Followed by a smart person, in order to show respect for the noble lady of the Fucha family, he also specially invited Concubine Shu to accompany him.
Yikun had a very happy conversation in the palace.
Then he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the emperor has rarely been to Yanxi Palace recently, but often goes to Concubine Shu's sister. ”
Concubine Ling fell out of favor, but it was cheaper for Concubine Shu's little aunt.
Concubine Shu's face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "Niangniang is making fun of the concubine." ”
Then he pursed his lips and smiled, "Actually, Concubine Shu's age is younger than Concubine Ling, if you can give birth to an elder brother, the twelve elder brothers in this palace will have a companion." ”
Concubine Shu hurriedly lowered her head, and said humbly: "Niangniang said that she laughed, where can the concubine have such a blessing." ”
Then he stroked his sideburns: "Actually, the child of the tenth elder brother was originally quite strong, but I didn't expect it to be gone." This palace had the heart to investigate in detail back then, but it couldn't find out the clues, which was really unsettling. ”
When it comes to this kind of topic, even the old lady doesn't interject. Ying Yue was even more just a little dumb and silently ate melons, the queen's meaning was clearly that Concubine Shu's tenth elder brother was killed by others, and this person was ...... Clearly and directly command the concubine.
Concubine Shu's expression was gloomy, and her eyes were silent. Concubine Shu never doubted Concubine Ling in her heart, but she was not necessarily less suspicious of the successor, so she was not provoked by the successor at the moment.
Then he hurriedly smiled: "It's all because the palace is not good, and I am so dignified that I actually mentioned my sister's sadness." ”
Concubine Shu smiled gently: "It's okay, it's all in the past." ”
Then he smiled and said: "That is, you have a wide heart, if you change it, it will be the ...... of the palace" said, and then squinted his eyes, did not continue, but turned to say: "Earlier, the emperor was so angry with thunder that the concubine was grounded while pregnant. Bengong originally thought that he would choose another adoptive mother for the fifteenth elder brother, but he didn't expect——"
Then it was difficult to hide the look of loss in his eyes, "Alas, there are several childless concubines in this palace, which one is not more decent than Concubine Ling?" ”
Yingyue: A high and childless concubine, Concubine Shu is one of them, and she is the best one! The following words are no longer implicit, but explicit.
Concubine Shu smiled slightly, and said softly: "What is Niangniang talking about now?" For the sake of the princess and elder brother, the emperor not only forgave Concubine Ling, but even the Wei family dealt with it leniently. ”
Yes, the Wei family has just been cut from their positions, and they continue to stay in Beijing to enjoy their blessings, and they will make a comeback one day.
Then he nodded: "Yes, it can be seen how important it is to have a child under your knees." No matter how big a mistake he makes, the emperor's loving father will love the house and Wu, and pity the biological mother. ”
Ying Yue said in her heart, if she has a child, it will be a gold medal for avoiding death, and then she will not end up in a wasted end.
Concubine Shu's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy, "It's the concubine who is blessed." ”
The old lady was busy comforting: "Concubine Shu is still young, and the future will be long." ”
Concubine Shu smiled reluctantly, "Old lady Cheng Jiyan." ”
Then he said suddenly: "I heard in this palace that Mrs. Tai met Concubine Ling in Shoukang Palace?" What a coincidence. ”
The old lady said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, Concubine Ling originally wanted to accompany the old body to come to greet the queen mother!" ”
Hearing this, his eyes were cold, "Really? Concubine Ling used to serve Empress Yuan, and now she wants to serve Mrs. Tai, which shows that she is very loyal. These words seem to be praise, but they are actually satirical about Concubine Ling's origin.
After that, he collected the coldness on his face, and smiled again, "Speaking of which, it is time for my son Yongxuan to come back from school." Then he pointed to the eunuch Rong beside him and ordered: "Hurry up and go to the Shang's study room to answer it." ”
"Huh!"
Seeing this, Concubine Shu hurriedly got up and said, "Since the twelfth elder brother is coming back soon, the concubine will ......."
Then he smiled and said: "Yongxuan is only eight years old, but he is just a child, you are his mother, you can't avoid it like this." ”
After saying so, Concubine Shu had to sit back on the embroidery pier.
It's a pity that soon Eunuch Rong ran back and reported: "Master Niangniang, the emperor is coming to the Shang's study room and is taking the homework of the school brothers, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while." ”
After that, he couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, this examination school, it had to be dark to come back, and at that time, the palace gate had already been closed. And the old lady, a foreign woman, naturally had to leave the palace before the palace gate was locked.
Therefore, this time when she entered the palace, Yingyue and the Twelfth Elder Brother missed each other.
Then he smiled and said: "Yongxuan, this kid, has been clamoring to ride a horse recently, which is really a headache for this palace. ”
Concubine Shu said softly: "The twelfth elder brother knows that he is motivated, and the queen mother just waits to enjoy the blessings." ”
Yingyue: Was it really affected by her words?
But the name of the Twelfth Elder Brother is really enough to make people speechless, Yongxuan, when you see these two words, it is easy to pronounce Yongji, but in fact, the word is pronounced "Qi", that's right! It reads the same as the name of the fifth elder brother!
The queen is not afraid of being confused.
Ying Yue couldn't help but maliciously speculate that when Qianlong named the Twelfth Elder Brother, he must have come to it easily, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
There are so many words next to the oblique jade, why do you have to choose the homonym?
Queen Zhengse asked Li Rongan: "How did Yongxuan answer today's school homework?" ”
Li Rongan bowed down and said: "Back to the master, Niangniang, the emperor's examination of the twelfth elder brother is a political chapter, and our elder brother is very familiar with it." ”
Then he looked satisfied and asked, "What about the interpretation?" ”
The emperor examines the princes, and he has always asked not only to memorize, but also to understand its meaning, and to be able to say one, two, three, four, five.
Li Rongan's face was a little stiff: "This ...... Brother thought about it for a while, and asked Brother Eleven to answer. ”
Yingyue: Actually, it can't be regarded as a rush to answer, right? The eleventh elder brother and the twelfth elder brother are the same age, and their homework is also synchronized, and the emperor should ask the same question.
Then the consequence turned pale, and said stiffly: "Eleventh Elder Brother has always been like this, and this palace has long been surprised. ”
Ying Yue's belly: If you really don't feel weird, you won't have such a bad face. After all, the twelfth elder brother is a child, and it is normal to be inferior to the little old man who crossed over.
The old lady hurriedly said: "The twelfth elder brother is only eight years old, and it is already rare to be able to recite the Analects fluently. ”
Concubine Shu also nodded hurriedly in agreement, "The Twelfth Elder Brother is already good academically. ”
Then his face softened a little.
After chattering in the hall for a while, the old lady got up and said goodbye, Yingyue was busy going up to support, this day was really tired of her feet.
After the new year, the emperor sealed the pen, and the following days were the annual leave of the courtiers. Fu Heng, who has been busy for a year, can finally have a free day, and even Fukangan buns can go back to Fucha's house to live temporarily.
After accompanying his pregnant wife for a few days, Fu Heng said to Ying Yue with great interest: "Now that the plum blossoms in Xiangshan are beginning to bloom, can Ama take you to enjoy the plum blossoms?" ”
Nala puffed his stomach and glanced at it: "This cold winter wax moon, look at what plum blossoms, carefully catch a cold!" ”
Fu Heng smiled and said: "The plum blossoms of Xiangshan grow in the Chaoyang Valley, which is not cold, and it is not cold to put on a newly made mink fur cloak for Yueniang, and it can't be frozen." ”
Ying Yue's eyes couldn't help but shine.
