Concubine Xiao Xian was not interested, "The concubine doesn't want to play chess." ”
A dark flash flashed in the emperor's eyes, and it was fleeting, and his voice became softer and softer, "Actually, I want to play against her, and I am afraid that she will enter the palace like this, and she has resistance in her heart." You should do me a favor. ”
Concubine Xiao Xian barely squeezed out a smile and nodded, and the emperor immediately asked Gonggong Huang to announce the decree.
Huang Gonggong went out of the palace, hurried all the way to Xu's mansion, learned that the person was not there, asked the address of Nancheng clearly, and took two little eunuchs over.
Song Wanyue was trying to make the dim sum she got from the second prince that day at home, made a pot, put it on a plate, and took it to the hall. When she walked into the courtyard, she heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and then stopped at the gate, she stopped and turned to look out, just in time to see Huang Gonggong get off the horse and walk quickly towards the door.
She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang." ”
Gonggong Huang also saw her, and stepped forward quickly, "Miss Song, the emperor announced that you should enter the palace." ”
"What does my father-in-law know?"
Huang Gonggong walked in and lowered his voice, "Since Concubine Xian Niangniang lost her child, her spirit is gone, the emperor sees it in his eyes, he is anxious in his heart, I heard that your chess skills are very good, and I specially announced that you will enter the palace to accompany Niangniang to play a few games." ”
"Father-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."
"Then the miscellaneous family will go and wait."
Song Wanyue nodded, and Huang Gonggong turned around and walked outside.
Song Wanyue entered the hall with the pastries and put the plate on the table. Inside the house, Song Lin and Xu were there, and when they heard Song Wanyue shouting Huang Gonggong, their hearts were raised, and when they saw her enter the house, they immediately pulled people into the inner room, "Yue'er, what did the emperor let you into the palace?" ”
Song Wanyue said what Huang Gonggong said just now.
The two were very uneasy and told her to be careful.
"Don't worry, Daddy, the emperor won't do anything to me."
After changing her clothes, Song Wanyue walked outside the gate, Huang Gonggong personally led the prepared horse over, handed over the reins to her, Song Wanyue turned over and got on the horse, and waited for Huang Gonggong to go up, and with him all the way to the palace gate, there was a sedan chair waiting there.
Song Wanyue was not polite, sat directly on it, and came to Kunli Palace.
The atmosphere in Kunli Palace is not good, after Concubine Xian's miscarriage, the palace people here have been punished, and now they are careful whether they walk or do things one by one.
"The folk girl has seen the emperor and the concubine."
"Get up."
The emperor's tone was never softer.
Song Wanyue stood up straight, looked at Concubine Xian, startled, Concubine Xian was almost out of shape, the original round face was now only a little the size of a palm, and she looked like she had no spirit at all.
Sensing her gaze, Concubine Xiao Xian smiled reluctantly, stretched out her hand towards her, Song Wanyue walked over, Concubine Xiao Xian grabbed her hand and looked at the emperor, "The emperor is busy, the concubine will play chess with Miss Song." ”
The emperor glanced at Song Wanyue deeply, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, Song Wanyue understood it, and nodded slightly.
"Someone."
Father-in-law Huang came in.
"Bring me that warm jade chessboard."
Huang Gonggong should be, and he went to get it in person.
Only then did the emperor get up, "I'll go deal with the twists and turns first, and I'll come back later." ”
As soon as he left, Concubine Xiao Xian seemed to be tired, and ordered the palace maid to bring snacks and melons and fruits, "Miss Song, I'll rest for a while, and you can eat some snacks." ”
"That's not going to work......"
Song Wanyue's face was serious, "The emperor announced that I entered the palace to accompany my mother to play chess, if the people's daughter did not accompany her, it would be a crime of bullying the king, the mother's mother should understand the situation of the people's daughter, and rest later, let's play chess first." ”
The housekeeper's aunt also agreed, "Yes, Niangniang, you should have a plate with Miss Song, otherwise the emperor will blame her, and she won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
She knew that Niangniang had always been soft-hearted and would not let Song Wanyue be punished.
Sure enough, Concubine Xian held up her spirits, "Then put it on the chessboard." ”
The aunt in charge was overjoyed, and hurriedly set up the chessboard, and diligently placed the chess box in the hands of the two of them, and put the pastries and melons and fruits in Song Wanyue's hands for her to take them.
"Mother, please."
Concubine Xiao Xian left a son first, Song Wanyue followed, and the housekeeper's aunt and two palace maids watched from the side.
Concubine Xiao Xian fell very slowly, and Song Wanyue did not urge, holding the chess pieces in her right hand, and forked a piece of peeled apple with a bamboo stick in her left hand and put it in her mouth, squeaking and chewing.
If it was in the past, the aunt in charge would have reprimanded her for not having rules, but now she can't wait for Song Wanyue to eat it, maybe the mother will taste one or two pieces for the sake of her sweet food.
Concubine Xiao Xian didn't seem to hear it, her eyes kept staring at the chessboard, and she dropped another piece, and Song Wanyue followed closely and ate a piece again.
After she ate five or six pieces, Concubine Xiao Xian suddenly raised her head, and the aunt in charge was overjoyed, and quickly picked up the plate containing the apple and held it up in front of Concubine Xiao Xian, "Niangniang also taste it, this apple is very delicious." ”
Concubine Xiao Xian looked at it for a while, then slowly stretched out her hand, forked a piece and put it in her mouth, the aunt in charge was overjoyed, since the mother's miscarriage, this was the first time she took the initiative to eat.
"Quick, go to the Imperial Dining Room and ask for some apples."
The palace maid responded, turned around and ran out.
Song Wanyue forked a strawberry and raised it to Concubine Xiao Xian's mouth, "Niangniang, taste it, the strawberries are also delicious." ”
Concubine Xiao Xian opened her mouth and ate it.
The housekeeper's aunt excitedly wanted to kowtow to Song Wanyue.
Song Wanyue winked at her, and made another look, the housekeeper's aunt understood, put down the plate, and led a group of palace maids to exit and guard the door.
"Niangniang, this snack is also good, you can try it."
Song Wanyue's voice came from inside.
Aunt Steward's hands folded excitedly.
Inside the house, Song Wanyue's fingers rested on Concubine Xiao Xian's pulse.
"I'm fine."
Concubine Xiao Xian told her silently.
"What's the trouble of the mother?"
Song Wanyue let go of her hand.
Concubine Xiao Xian smiled bitterly, except for this, she had no way to avoid sleeping in the bed, she had already killed one of her own children with her own hands, and she didn't want to kill another one.
"Niangniang, you eat another piece."
After finishing speaking, Song Wanyue lowered her voice again,
"In the long run, you will hurt your body, our good days will be very long in the future, you have to take care of your body, see what you want to see, and enjoy what you should enjoy."
Concubine Xiao Xian's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, just looked at Song Wanyue. Listening to the meaning of Song Wanyue's words, she seemed to know that Xiao'er was not dead, but if she knew, how could she remain silent for so long.
Song Wanyue arrived at the tea and handed it to Niangniang, and said with a smile, "The tea is also delicious, you can drink some." ”
Two quarters of an hour later, the aunt in charge was called in, and when she saw that the two plates of dim sum and the two plates of melons and fruits had been eaten, she was overjoyed, and was about to order someone to bring some more, Song Wanyue said, "Niangniang should not eat too much at once, and let her eat some properly after eating at noon." ”
