Chapter 530: Is She Not Good Enough?
No one expected that the emperor's anger was the first to burn to Jingren Palace, and Concubine Tong, who had always been favored, was reproached in public. Naturally, the queen mother also immediately gave the emperor a counterattack, and without waiting for Tong Jia's promotion to the concubine position, she returned the third elder brother to her first.
This is in the eyes of other concubines who have children, they will laugh in their dreams, but for Yuan Xi, they are not necessarily very happy.
At this moment, the mother and son were sitting on the steps in front of the main hall of Jingren Palace, and Xuan Ye's little hands were holding the big dumplings with pomegranate steamed ginseng and abalone filling, eating deliciously.
He ate half of it, remembered his mother beside him, stuffed his mouth full of food, raised his hands on the other hand, and said inarticulately, which was not very neat: "E-niang eat." ”
Yuan Xi was not polite, and swallowed it all for him in one bite.
The little guy looked at his mother in astonishment, full of admiration for his mother's ability to eat what he had eaten for most of the day, and his reverence arose.
After slowly swallowing the contents of his mouth, he got up and ran to find the pomegranate, and soon came back with a large dumpling, and sat happily beside his mother.
"My grandmother said that my mother was like this when she was a child, and she knew that she would be scolded and punished for doing something wrong, so she immediately ran first." Yuan Xi smiled and said, "E-niang has been thinking, what is it like, I don't remember it at all, all I remember is being caught and spanked by your grandmother, and now when I see you, I know that it was so fun." ”
Xuan Ye seemed to listen to his mother incomprehensibly, eating dumplings fragrantly, this time he ate the leftovers, he couldn't eat them, and he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with them.
Seeing that his son will not throw away the leftover food, he will think about what to do, no matter whether he can think about the result or not, Yuan Xi knows that the nurses of the elder brother have taught the third elder brother well.
Yuan Xi opened his mouth to his son, and Xuan Ye smiled and sent the rest of the food into Eniang's mouth, and then waved his little hand and hugged it, wanting to nest in Eniang's arms and be coquettish.
Pomegranate came from the back kitchen, and when he saw this, he blamed: "Miss's heart is really big, how can I let the third elder brother eat in the wind." ”
Yuan Xi disagreed: "It's all eaten, and I won't take the child, don't yell at me, it's annoying me, I'll send him back." ”
Pomegranate dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but when he looked at Xuan Ye, he became kind and kind, and spoke softly: "Third elder brother, let the slave and maid hug you, let's go wash our hands, okay?" ”
"Hand hand." Xuan Ye agreed, climbed down from Yuan Xi's arms, and ran to the pomegranate, who picked up the third elder brother like a jewel, and ignored his own young lady for a while.
Yuan Xi glanced at them and was about to go back to the house when someone from Cining Palace came.
said that he would come to see if the third elder brother had been delivered, and in addition, if the queen mother was transmitted, please ask Concubine Tong to raise the third elder brother with peace of mind, and this matter is decided.
Yuan Xi said: "Please convey to the Queen Mother, I want to transfer all the people who serve Xuan Ye in the elder brother's office, I don't know if this is in line with the rules, if it is not in accordance with the rules, I will make another plan." ”
Her request was quickly agreed, although the elder brother is a junior, he has to salute when he sees the concubines, but the status of the imperial heir is different, and there are a lot of eunuchs and palace maids since childhood, and now there are two masters living in Jingren Palace, one big and one small, and it is not surprising that there are more people serving.
Those people hurriedly came from the elder brother's house, kowtowed in front of Concubine Tong Niangniang to thank him, Yuan Xi said: "I shouldn't have rebelled against the emperor's will at this juncture, but the emperor didn't really say that he wanted to remove you, but the emperor's reprimand is reasonable, I hope you can take this as a warning in the future and take good care of the third elder brother." ”
Everyone understands what Concubine Tong means, and they don't necessarily say that the emperor is not, and it is the best arrangement for them to continue to take care of the third elder brother, otherwise they will have a hard time in the future in the elder brother's place or elsewhere.
"Xiao Quanzi, after you count the number of people, arrange how to take turns on duty, the original people in Jingren Palace still do the original thing, don't interfere in taking care of the third elder brother."
"The minion takes orders."
Yuan Xi slowly swept his gaze over everyone and ordered: "In addition, on the day when I am not on duty, I will ask the queen mother for a decree to allow you to go out of the palace once, in the order of each entering the palace in the morning and evening, but if your home is in the capital or nearby, go back and take a look." If you are far from home, I will reward you with money, and bring something to your house. Of course, this is only once, and don't expect me to bring you home all the time. ”
Concubine Tong is so kind, everyone is blessed by misfortune, and they don't know what to do with their happiness, and some of them haven't seen their families for seven or eight years, and they are so excited that they cry.
Yuan Xi didn't pay any attention to it, and when he came in, Xuan Ye had already washed it, and the kang head was rolling in circles, and Laiwang and Vanilla were guarding the edge of the kang, for fear that the third elder brother would roll down.
Although they were all in a hurry, it could be seen that they were very happy, and they all regarded Xuan Ye as a baby, Yuan Xi sighed, probably only she, the mother-in-law, was the most disapproving.
At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, Fu Lin's anger had already disappeared by half, and he couldn't help but regret a little when he thought that he had just let Yuan Xi not come to the stage in public.
But why did Yuan Xi choose this play to sing, who in the world does not know the absurdity of Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei, and lived up to the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty created by his hard work in the first half of his life.
But thinking about it again, it is precisely because of the prosperity that the heart of pleasure and comfort will be born, and the current Qing Dynasty has not even touched the edge of the prosperous world.
Wu Liangfu followed the emperor day and night, probably one of the few people who could understand why the emperor was in a bad mood, and naturally more and more people found that the virtuous concubine was different from what he imagined.
Dong Eshi is not a person with eight faces, nor can she speak well, although she is beautiful, she will always make people's eyes focus on her, but no matter where she is, she seems to be eager to hide herself.
Not long after, Yue Le entered the palace and exchanged glances with Wu Liangfu, and Wu Liangfu quietly retreated.
"Isn't it good enough for me to treat her, why is she always so cold, and now she has the reality of a husband and wife, and she can respond well to her questions." Fu Lin said to his cousin irritably, "I see that everything is fine, but do you know that the person I hold in my arms seems to have no soul, where is her heart?" ”
Yue Le said: "Your Majesty, you must know how hesitant and uneasy Niangniang has experienced in the past five years. A teenage girl, with no relatives to take care of her eldest sister, and a young brother to protect her, her mother is like a falling flower floating on the water, and she can't help herself, so she can only let the waves send her to an unknown place. Now that everything is finally stable, shouldn't I give my mother some time to let her gradually let go of her vigilance and anxiety? ”
Sure enough, it was a veteran of the love field, what Yue Le said, Fu Lin listened to it comfortably, and was full of guilt and distress, and blamed himself: "I left her five years ago, or I forgot that she is no longer in love, and she will not be like this." ”
Yue Le wanted to speak and stopped, there were some words, he didn't dare to ask the emperor face to face.
In fact, when it comes to the most original matter, has the emperor considered whether Dong Ejiayin is willing to follow him?
On this night, the emperor spent the night alone in the Qianqing Palace, did not go to the Chengqian Palace, and did not summon the concubines of the harem.
Wu Liangfu specially sent people to Chengqian Palace to ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to rest earlier, saying that the emperor would not come tonight, and Jia Yin unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
When I returned from bathing, I saw Tian Xiang lying on the couch and laying the quilt, and Jia Yin said: "If the emperor doesn't come, what are you doing with two quilts." ”
Tian Xiang sighed: "The slave forgot it, it's all a habit." ”
"So be it." Jia Yin said, "It's rare to be free, you should go to rest early." ”
"Miss, tomorrow I will play the chime for the Queen Mother, do you think the Queen Mother will be happy?" Tian Xiang couldn't sleep excitedly, and was repeatedly told by Jia Yin to blow out the candle and retreat.
Kuanyi lay down, only to realize that a place suddenly vacated beside him, and Jia Yin was stunned.
It turned out to be so easy to develop a habit, and in less than half a month of night and night, she had already taken the emperor lying by her side as a matter of course.
Jia Yin hugged her knees, thinking back to what happened today, when she wanted to stand up and say that she chose this new play for Yuan Xi.
Although "Agarwood Pavilion" has not yet been completed, it has beautiful lyrics and moving plots, and it is the queen mother's favorite Han and Tang dynasties.
But in the situation at that time, if she wanted to stand up and say, the emperor would definitely have no face, and presumably Yuan Xi didn't necessarily care about her standing up, as if she was amazing. So she looked away, studying the size of the space and how to move the chimes there tomorrow.
But at this moment, her heart began to be unsteady, she had long been aware of the emperor's anger, and even Tian Xiang had quietly asked her if she had angered the emperor, and he had become more and more unhappy since the beginning of the night.
Jia Yin buried her head in her knees, was she not good enough?
