Chapter 34: The walls of the palace are deep
Many days ago, Wen Jin got news from Zhu Qing that there was a problem with the rouge gouache and clothes that Gao sent to Aunt Li.
Wen Jin knew that the Gao family was not a stupid person, he would not dig his own grave, and he knew that the musk content was very small and would not cause damage to Aunt Li. So I only told Yunjin not to let Aunt Li use rouge gouache, and then she didn't do anything more.
Because of what Aunt Song and Yujin did to the Gao family, Wen Jin didn't have to think about it to know that the Gao family was targeting Aunt Song.
Aunt Song was also in a hurry, and she even hit the idea on the rouge gouache. This matter can be regarded as the middle of Gao's arms. It's just that Aunt Song was worried that musk alone would not be able to cause Aunt Li to miscarry, so she did something in the kitchen again.
Aunt Song will be defeated if she loses, and she will do things without leaving room and going back.
This incident caused Aunt Li to lose her child, and Aunt Song went to the family temple with her pregnancy. So the old lady lost hope for the heir for a while, and was lost for many days.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Prime Minister sent the ancestral hall, and the sound of firecrackers disappeared, which can be regarded as the end of this New Year.
A few holly plants were planted in the courtyard of Nuanwen Pavilion, which added a little vitality to this courtyard in this season of depression.
Qiushui walked in from the outside, and when he entered the hall, he hurriedly put away the umbrella, stomped his feet again, and shook off the snow on his body before walking to the inner room. "Oops, this snow is so big, the snow has melted, and it will be cold for a while."
Qiu Yue greeted her with a smile, "But did you bring the bird's nest?" ”
Qiushui handed over a box and said babblingly, "There are only a few boxes of bird's nest stored in the treasury of the house, and the housekeeper didn't want to give more when I went to get it." Fortunately, our young lady is decent, and the housekeeper finally gave a box. ”
Qiu Yue collected the bird's nest and asked, "In previous years, there was never a shortage of bird's nest in the house, but what happened this year?" ”
Qiushui hurriedly said the news of his inquiry, "The concubine in the palace is pregnant, and the emperor said that she would raise it with bird's nest three times a day, so the head of the internal affairs office almost bought the bird's nest of most shops in the capital." ”
"The emperor really loves the concubine! If the concubine Niangniang gives birth to a prince in the future, won't she want to be more than ......" Qiu Yue said this, did she dare to say the word "Middle Palace".
Wen Jin in the room listened to the conversation between Qiushui and Qiuyue, and his face became dark.
The queen is the biological mother of the crown prince, and although the concubine has no heirs, she is the most favored by the emperor. It's just that now the concubine is pregnant. I'm afraid that the palace will be lively again.
"Slave maid to meet Madame." Outside, the sound of the maids saluting.
"Well, the eldest lady can be inside?" Gao said loudly.
Qiushui hurriedly replied, "Where is the eldest lady in the house?" Madame, please come in. ”
Wen Jin heard the voice and greeted him with a smile, "It's such a big snow outside, why did Madam come over?" ”
Gao let the maid beside him take off his scarlet cloak, and then walked inside with a smile. "Knowing that you are weak, my mother specially asked your uncle to buy some bird's nest from other places and send it to you."
Wen Jin hurriedly welcomed Gao in, "Thank you, Mrs. for remembering." ”
Gao and Wen Jin were talking inside, but after a few words, Gao instructed the maid Xiangmei beside him, "What are you doing here, hurry up and stew the bird's nest with the maid next to the eldest lady." ”
Xiangmei immediately saluted and withdrew.
Wen Jin also instructed Zhu Qing and Zhu Ye, "You guys also go to the kitchen to help!" ”
There was no one else in the house, Wen Jincai smiled and said, "Madame came here on purpose, I don't know what to order?" ”
Gao said with a smile, "The eldest lady didn't break it that day, so I am naturally grateful." The eldest lady should also know that when I didn't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was almost killed by gangsters, and I was saved by the eldest lady and the second lady of the Wenguo Mansion. I have always kept this kindness in my heart. ”
Wen Jin smiled gently, "That's Mrs. Fortune, and she is destined to be the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Gao also smiled, "The eldest lady is also right. If you talk about the number of lives, then Aunt Song has been calculating for so many years, but she really doesn't have the life to be a housewife? ”
Wen Jin covered his mouth and laughed when he heard this, "I didn't expect that Mrs. would be able to say such sour and jealous words." ”
Gao also laughed eagerly, "Although I am nominally the mother of the eldest lady, I am not a few years older than the eldest lady." Is there anything else you can't say? ”
Wen Jin said with a smile, "What Madam said is that Madame came this time, I don't know what to say to Wen Jin?" ”
Gao pretended to be mysterious, "Naturally, I came here to sit firmly in the position of the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Wen Jin's face was calm, "Madame is really joking, isn't Madame already sitting firmly in the position of the master mother now?" ”
Gao sighed, "This position of the master's mother, I am sitting in horror!" finally sent Aunt Song out of the house, but I was afraid that there would be an eldest son coming out. I naturally don't care about this eldest son, I'm just afraid that one day this concubine will become a concubine, and his biological mother's status will also overshadow me. ”
Wen Jin's face was indifferent, "Madame is really hearty." Mrs. is the mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the mother-in-law of the heirs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one can cross it. ”
Gao Shi looked worried, and smiled awkwardly, "Then I think this is bad." I'm just afraid that one day in the future, when I encounter the thrill of the road to Bodhi Temple, then the position of the master mother will naturally be unstable. ”
Wen Jin's face was cold, "What does Madam want to say?" ”
Gao said cautiously, "The eldest lady has slender hands, I naturally won't let the eldest lady be tired, I just hope that the eldest lady can open one eye, close one eye, and allow me to do some helpless actions." ”
Wen Jin was silent for a moment, stroked his handkerchief leisurely, and then said, "Madame said that it was a helpless move, how could Wen Jin intervene to stop it?" ”
Gao smiled relaxedly, "The bird's nest has been delivered, and I should go to the old lady to wait." Gao said, and stood up.
Wen Jin also got up and saluted, "Madame go slowly." ”
Wen Jin watched Gao go away in a crimson pleated skirt, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
After some conversation, Wen Jin had already reached an agreement with the Gao family, and the Gao family would deal with Aunt Song, and Wen Jin would not intervene to stop it.
As an orphan girl, Gao lives under her uncle, so she is naturally not incompetent. With this person opening the way in front, Wenjin is also happy.
After all, Aunt Song, she will not let her have a good time sooner or later.
In Chunrong Hall, the family finished lunch together, but Gao suddenly retched, and after the doctor's pulse, he learned that he was more than a month pregnant.
The old lady and Xiangye were very happy, and the old lady chattered endlessly and instructed the maids around Gao's to serve well.
Wen Jin and Yun Jin looked at each other coldly, but Yu Jin was eager to tear the handkerchief in his hand into two pieces. Aunt Tao only shrank in the corner, and she didn't dare to step forward to cook for Xiangye when she saw this scene.
Fortunately, Aunt Li did not participate in the family banquet because she needed to support her because of a miscarriage. Otherwise, seeing this scene, it will inevitably touch the scene and be sad.
The snow fell and stopped, and finally on the thirteenth day of the first month, the snow melted away, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, the snowflakes fluttered up one after another.
Before the dinner on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wen Jin was already dressed and waiting in the front hall.
On this year's Lantern Festival, in order to make the pregnant concubine Niangniang feel comfortable, the emperor specially kindly let the court officials bring their wife and heirs into the palace to participate in the dinner.
Wen Jin wore a light purple Luo skirt today, and the cuffs and neckline of the Luo skirt were trimmed with snow-white fox fur. The bun was pulled up halfway, and a golden phoenix purple jade hairpin was allowed to hold it.
The small earlobe has only a pair of pearl drop earrings. The hand is slender, and he only wears a mutton fat white jade bracelet on his left wrist.
Xiang Ye and his wife Gao came together, and Xiang Ye carefully instructed Gao to pay attention to the fetal gas, and then took the lead in entering the palace.
Because she entered the palace to participate in the banquet, only the concubines were eligible to participate, and Yujin could also enter the palace to participate in the banquet because of her status as the prince's concubine.
Gao didn't see Yujin, so he asked, "Hasn't the second lady come over yet?" ”
Zhu Qing, who was beside Wen Jin, replied, "The second lady hasn't come here yet." ”
Gao calmly instructed the maid beside him, Xiangxing, "You go and see when the second lady will come over?" ”
Xiangxing immediately retreated.
Gao didn't wait any longer at this time, and said directly to Wen Jin with a smile. "Let's go to the carriage and wait! I think the second lady is coming over soon. The palace banquet is not an ordinary banquet, and it is not good to miss the hour. ”
Wen Jin also nodded and smiled, "That's what Madam said." ”
After waiting in the carriage for nearly two quarters of an hour, just as the carriage was about to leave, Yujin rushed over in a panic. Xu was in too much of a hurry, and his hair bun was a little messy.
Seeing this scene, Wen Jin just smiled silently. Gao's is really a good means. Originally, Yujin deliberately embarrassed Gao, but Gao's fluttering made Yujin the passive one.
Due to the large number of ladies and ladies attending the palace banquet, each family only sent one carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was spacious, and even though the Gao family, Wen Jin, and Yu Jin were also comfortable.
As soon as Yujin got into the carriage, she asked the maid to arrange her hair in a bun. Yujin wore a goose-yellow Luo skirt today, with white rabbit fur trimming on the neckline and cuffs. He wore a set of ruby heads on his head, which showed that he had been dressed with care.
Gao whispered about the things that should be paid attention to when going to the palace, Wen Jin listened indifferently, but Yu Jin had an impatient look.
Gao didn't do anything about it, anyway, she said these words, just a formality.
The palace, the vermilion tall palace wall can not hide the majestic buildings inside, glazed tiles, like covering the sky and the sun.
Standing outside the palace walls, you can feel the magnificence and luxury inside.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the vermilion palace gate. Wen Jin was supported by the maid bamboo leaf and walked towards the palace.
Stepping across the vermilion tall palace gate, Wen Jin felt a sense of depression. This feeling made her feel faintly suffocated.
