Chapter 177: I don't want to be a concubine
The moon disk is like jade, and the night is as cool as water.
The antique room is still filled with a smell of white sandalwood.
Xue Hainiang pushed the door in.
Along the way, there were no extra palace guards until the courtyard house, and I think someone from above deliberately mentioned it.
Although the night in early autumn was not cold, but now the owner of the house is noble, and the holy family is thick, no one in the internal affairs office dares to slack off, and a layer of fox fur blanket has been laid in the conspicuous place of the house early, even if you step on it barefoot, you will not feel that the soles of your feet are cold.
"Now that my sister is pregnant, why do you still copy these Buddhist scriptures?" Xue Hainiang walked to the table. The mist of incense slowly rising on the incense burner made the demeanor of the man with the pen bow more gentle and peaceful.
Liang Bairou gently put down the red pen and sat down with her waist up, "After a while, it will be the Double Ninth Festival, and I will take the Buddhist scriptures to Foguang Temple at that time." β
Xue Hainiang was slightly displeased, "But my sister is pregnant now, I am afraid that the road will be inconvenient, and the emperor will not allow it." β
Liang Bairou said: "The fetus will be stable in March, I have asked the imperial doctor, there will be no accidents when I travel during the Double Ninth Festival, and I will go to the emperor's side." She lightly grabbed Xue Hainiang's hand, "Come today, I have something I want to discuss with you." β
Xue Hainiang sat down.
"I know that you have a very sacred heart in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it must be a blessing for several generations to change others, but I know your character, you don't want to accept favor, and you have already belonged, now I want you to tell the truth, I will ask the emperor for you to come to Chonghua Hall to serve, are you willing?" Liang Bai Judo.
Xue Hainiang's face was stunned, but in her heart, thousands of thoughts were like a ball of headless silk threads, so messy that she couldn't figure it out.
"Sister Liang, it's good, but I'm afraid that Concubine Xiao will not be able to explain it......" Xue Hainiang was a little embarrassed.
Although now, she can be calm, self-controlled, deferential and humble in front of Nan Jiuxi, if she can stay away from him, she will naturally like to hear it.
Liang Bairou didn't care, a pair of apricot eyes shone brightly, a little scorching, "In the past, I had no heirs, so I could live a peaceful life under Xiao Guifei, but now that I am pregnant with an heir, my status and honor are closely related to my mother's family, the father of the concubine is a second-class minister in the court, and my grandfather has made countless military achievements when the first emperor was there, if I give birth to the heir, the status will be above Xiao Guifei in less than a year and a half." Now, looking at the fight between her and Concubine Xue Xian, you can see that Lord Shangshu is still on an equal footing with the father of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is eager to deal with Xue Xianfei as soon as possible, let alone talk about me? β
Liang Bairou's words have already made clear the many intricacies of the former and harem.
"Hai Niang, I just want to ask, would you like to come back and help me?"
The apricot eyes are still as delicate as they remember, but they are no longer gentle like water.
Xue Hainiang nodded spontaneously, this was the result she liked the most.
Or maybe Liang Bairou has the temperament and choices she has today, and Xue Hainiang has more or less played a role in fueling the trouble.
Liang Bairou raised her lips and smiled, becoming more and more affectionate, "Beichen Proton is about to leave for the palace in a few days, the emperor does not allow the northern soldiers to enter the palace in a grand manner, and the two sides decided to temporarily stay in the Foguang Temple, and then the Beichen prince will be escorted to the Foguang Temple by the soldiers of the southern country to pray for blessings, and then escorted back to the northern territory by the soldiers of the northern country." Her eyes deepened slightly, "Hai Niang, you once told me that you admired that Beichen proton, and after a while, when he returns to China, the two of you will never have a chance to see each other, Foguang Temple is the last chance for the two of you to meetββ"
Xue Hainiang's face was stunned, "Sister Liang, isn't it because of this that she ...... to the emperor" Liang Bairou stretched out his hand to her and handed out an olive branch, isn't it a little contradictory now?
You must know that when the young boys and girls who are in love with each other arrive at the day of separation, they will inevitably be excited and confused under the moon before the flowers, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to think of leaving with Beichen Xu for a while?
Liang Bairou smiled and shook her head lightly, "Yes and no." She got up slowly, perhaps because she had been sitting for a long time, her waist was slightly uncomfortable, she reached out and stroked it, and said slowly, "Everything I have today is all because of the Queen Mother's pity, don't all the people in the palace know that she loves the Buddha? Moreover, now that I am pregnant with the imperial heir, everyone in the six palaces is red and wants to punish me quickly, if I stay in the harem, it will give them more opportunities to start. β
"If I go to Foguang Temple, the emperor and the queen mother both value the heir in my womb, and they will not only send more people to protect them on the road, but also secretly put pressure on the host, and Foguang Temple is far away from the imperial city, and it is difficult for the concubine's hand to reach into the Buddhist temple. β
She turned her head to look at Xue Hainiang, her eyes burning. In this way, it kills three birds with one stone. β
The corners of Xue Hainiang's lips were slightly hooked, as if she was smiling, "Since Sister Liang knows that I admire the prince of Beichen, so she will create an opportunity for the two of you, so she is not afraid that I will go to Foguang Temple and ask the prince of Beichen to take me back to the north?" You know, if she follows Beichen Xu back to the north, she can really get rid of the body of a servant after that.
Liang Bairou covered her lips and chuckled, and said in one sentence, "But you don't want to be a concubine." "The words are firm, without the slightest hesitation.
She sat beside Xue Hainiang and said with a smile: "Over the years, you have had countless opportunities to be favored and high, but you also know that you can't become the emperor's wife no matter what, so you've been avoiding it." β
Xue Hainiang said: "Sister Liang is not afraid to look away?"
Liang Bairou chuckled, "You are smart and thoughtful, and naturally understand that if you leave with Beichen Proton this time, and no matter whether he treats you well in the future, even if you are like-minded, you can only be allowed to be a concubine, but if you take this opportunity to clarify each other's intentions with him, if he is willing to wait for you, after a year and a half, when I give birth to the imperial heir and have a stable position in the harem, I can make it clear to the emperor that I will give you to Beichen Proton as a concubine." β
Liang Bairou's so-called understanding lies in the fact that she knows that Xue Hainiang is not an ignorant girl who is just starting to fall in love, on the contrary, Xue Hainiang's city is quite deep and takes precautions.
"I don't want to force you, so I gave you a choice. β
But I can only follow the path you have paved. Xue Hainiang was slandered in her heart, and she couldn't help but be slightly speechless, and she didn't blame the literati and writers for being sad and sad, these years can really transform people beyond recognition.
The gentle and quiet little woman in the past has long been quietly buried in the red wall.
Xue Hainiang quietly covered her hand and smiled like a flower, "I am naturally willing to follow Sister Liang." In the past, you were kind to me, and the truth of the grace of dripping water will not be unaware, and now that you are walking on thin ice in the harem, I can't just leave. β
She didn't know how credible her words and expressions were now, but what she was saying now was what Liang Bairou really wanted to hear.
