Chapter Thirty-Nine: Her Reply
Thinking of this possibility, he was even more happy in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.
This brocade robe woman is the concubine, that day she and King Jing in the palace, occasionally heard that there was chaos in the palace, she was very worried, she was a boudoir woman, after entering the palace to be favored, and later gave birth to King Jing to be crowned a high position.
Later, he became good friends with Queen Qi, and after becoming a concubine, although he was not as good as before, he still lived a pampered life.
When she heard about it, she really didn't know how to deal with it, or King Jing made a decision and took her here.
King Jing's forces have been operating here for many years, and this time they went well.
It's just that King Jing is still young, originally they were next door to King Ding's fief, which was specially chosen by Queen Qi at the beginning, King Ding is an easy-going character, he likes calligraphy and painting and the like, and he doesn't want to fight for power and profit.
When they were first elected, they wanted to determine whether the king was still good with each other, not to mention that they had some contacts over the years, and it might be possible to take refuge in him temporarily.
It's just that I didn't expect Gongshun Hou to suddenly make a rebellion, seize the fief of King Ding, and even set himself up as King Wu there, he was already eyeing the place where King Jing was, but he occupied King Ding's fief at the beginning, and he didn't fully grasp the power there, so he didn't make a move.
And as soon as they came to face such a situation, fortunately, Empress Qi sent some men to prepare in advance, these people are some shrewd and capable, and they also worked together to assist them after they came.
But later they heard that the new emperor in the palace had ascended the throne, and the crown prince was deposed for rebellion, Queen Qi hanged herself in shame, but Concubine Rou was nowhere to be found.
At that time, King Jing was still Wen Guogong, and they were in a dilemma at that time, Concubine Shu still remembered that he ran over to ask his opinion, but what could Concubine Shu do? If they return to Beijing now, because they have always been friendly with Empress Qi in the past, they are afraid that they will not be tolerated by the new emperor.
And if they settle here, the king of Wu next to him has just occupied the fief of King Ding, and King Ding is a prince, what should they do? Concubine Shu has always been weak, she really has no idea, she can only be helpless.
At this time, it was King Jing who stood up, although he was not very old, but he was a decisive man, King Jing organized the troops in the city, gathered them together, and called the people in the city to tell them how excessive those actions were after King Wu was in the fiefdom of King Ding.
Therefore, they must stand up on their own, and they can't rely on King Wu's mercy, after all, everyone has seen how ruthless his methods are.
Relying on these King Jing to stubbornly repel the power of King Wu, and at this time, he heard that the new emperor canonized Liu's daughter as the queen, and thought of the power in the hands of General Liu, so he made a bold decision, that is, to stand on his own.
He chose to fight, from the original Duke Wen Guogong to establish himself as King Jing, he was the blood of the royal family, plus he had just repelled the power of King Wu, but he was very popular, and Concubine Shu also became the queen mother, but she was usually quiet and didn't like to go out.
Concubine Shu is just embroidering a handkerchief in King Jing's Mansion, and occasionally listening to the things around her talk about things outside, which is really a little boring.
He was very concerned about Concubine Rou and others in the capital, but he was embarrassed to trouble King Jing, after all, now that King Jing has proclaimed himself king, there are still many things to deal with in this city, and he really can't be idle.
So when she received this letter by chance, Concubine Shu was so happy, and when the grandmother heard her words, she also nodded with a smile on her face when she saw the gentle smile on Concubine Shu's face that had always been a little condensed.
She has been serving Concubine Shu since she entered the palace, and followed Concubine Shu all the way from the position of Concubine Shu to the position of Concubine Zhengyipin, and watched her canonized as a concubine, to the position of the Queen Mother today, Mama naturally knew that the friendship between her and Queen Qi and Concubine Rong was not fake, so she also opened her mouth to comfort:
"Niangniang doesn't have to worry so much, since Concubine Rou Niangniang has a letter coming, it means that she must not be far from here, Niangniang may as well write a letter by herself, and the slave maid will go to the previous position and wait to see if we can meet again."
"Okay, I'll take a closer look at what's in this letter, and then I'll write a reply."
After that, Concubine Shu re-read the letter again, only to see that there was no clear location information in the letter, but only said that Concubine Rou was concerned about Concubine Shu, and said that Concubine Rou now lives in the surrounding area and knows about King Jing, so she came to greet Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu looked at some familiar handwriting, and said worriedly: "When there was chaos in the palace, although I was in the palace, I also heard about it, I don't know how Concubine Rou can get here, I must find her, and then take her to this palace." ”
"Yes, don't worry, Niangniang, we will try our best to find it."
Shu Taifei nodded absentmindedly while looking at the letter, and then he took a closer look and saw that the end of the American drama with the letter could be connected into a sentence.
"Yu Yue came to the pavilion to deliver a letter." Concubine Shu couldn't help but read aloud, and at the same time raised her head and asked Mama, "Does Mama know where this Yuelai Pavilion is?" At this time, Concubine Rou mentioned it in her heart. ”
It's no better than Concubine Shu staying in the house all day long and not going out, after Mama arrived in the city, she carefully surveyed the surrounding environment, and knew a little about several relatively large restaurants and other places, she thought about it when she heard it, and then said:
"It seems that it is on the other side of South Street, there are a lot of people coming and going near the pier, and Yuelai Pavilion makes some pasta to sell to people all year round, I heard that the portion is very affordable, can Concubine Rou be there?"
"Let's try it first, after all, only a few of us know the code of this peony flower, and there is no need to use this to trick me even if someone else is it."
After speaking, Concubine Shu took up the pen and wrote the letter, and then handed the letter to the grandmother, asking her to go to the Yuelai Pavilion to see if she could see Concubine Rou or the person who sent the letter.
Concubine Shu looked at the letter, and said to Mama: "Remember, if Concubine Rou doesn't want to come, don't force her, everything depends on her mind, if she wants to come, it will naturally be good to be with me." ”
"Yes, the slave does."
Mama nodded and saluted, and was about to go out when she was stopped by Concubine Shu.
"Wait, you should always bring a token over, Mama, you go to the drawer on the second level on the far right of my dresser and take it out."
"Yes, sissy."
Mama went to the drawer of the dresser and took out the box that Concubine Shu said, looking at the simple style, but it was a little heavy, and Mama couldn't help but have some trouble holding the box with her hand.
Concubine Shu placed the box on the table, and then slowly opened it, only to see that it was silver and various colored jewelry, which looked very luxurious and exquisite.
However, Concubine Shu did not choose those gorgeous jewelry, but chose a very simple style of hosta, only to see that the hosta was finely engraved with some patterns, which looked very elegant, but also a little fresh.
He helped the hosta with some rare things, and said nostalgically:
"This hairpin was personally given by Concubine Rou when I was in the palace, this is made by her own hands, although it is very simple, but it contains our respective intentions, you hold this hairpin, she must know what you mean."
After that, Concubine Shu took out a solid color unembroidered handkerchief, wrapped the hosta with it very carefully, and put it in the purse.
Then he took out a box of silver from the box, handed it to the grandmother, and said:
"There are some silver taels here, and there are silver tickets below, if Concubine Rou has other plans, you will remember to give these to her, she must have been very anxious when she left the palace, and she should not have any comprehensive plans, and she still needs to buy personal things, you give her these silver, and tell her not to shirk again, when I was in the palace, I was quite in agreement with her, and these friendships are commendable.
With this silver, even if he goes elsewhere, this silver will be enough for her to live, remember to be gentle, don't force Concubine Rou to come over to meet me, and don't spy on her tracks. ”
"Yes, the slave understands, and the mother can rest assured."
Mama realized the importance she attached to Concubine Rou in Concubine Shu's instructions again and again, so Mama's heart couldn't help but become a little more nervous, and she decided that if she saw Concubine Rou Niangniang for a while, she would definitely talk to the other party.
At this time in the inn, Concubine Rou was also a little nervous waiting for Concubine Shu's reply, but in fact, she was not very sure in her heart.
At that time, in front of Mrs. Li and Master Qi, Concubine Rou was very confident, and she expressed that Concubine Shu could be trusted.
But now Concubine Rou thinks about it, there are people in the harem who are unpredictable, and when they are in the palace, everyone is also a sister and sister, but how can she not know the conspiracy methods in secret, and she is not very sure when she thinks about it like this.
When I got acquainted with Concubine Shu because of Queen Qi, one of them was a concubine and the other was a concubine, and there was no conflict between them, and they were both quiet and had the same hobbies with each other, so the relationship gradually became closer.
But the identities of the two were still quite the same, and now I heard that Concubine Shu has been canonized as the queen mother because of King Jing, but she has fallen from the original first-class concubine to a runaway concubine, hiding in Tibet every day, and the asymmetry of identity really makes her a little worried about whether the other party will treat her as before.
At the same time, Concubine Rou was also worried about what if Master Qi and them were found out because of herself? So the place where the letter was sent was decided by Mrs. Li, and Concubine Rou just wrote the letter by hand.
Mrs. Li's daughter is the wife of the Zheng family, a big family in the northwest, and naturally has some connections in her hands, and the Zheng family has been operating here for many years, and there are many eyes and ears, so Mrs. Li's choice must be reliable.
In this way, even if King Jing and his party have other thoughts, they can deal with it, Concubine Rou thought secretly in her heart.
It's just that she is a little absent-minded, now that things are wrong and there is a chance to meet old friends, she is both excited and apprehensive in her heart, and she is a little distracted when she even teaches Qi Zhenzhen, thinking about the scene when she was in the palace.
So, when Concubine Rou once again said that Liang Jieyu was a beauty of Liang, Qi Zhenzhen finally couldn't help but speak, and he said to Concubine Rou, who was a little distracted:
"Aunt Rou has something on her mind, you might as well talk to Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen will definitely try to help Aunt Rou think of countermeasures."
