Chapter 209, twenty harem career
The king of Shende County also thought of his own mother, so he did not stay in his mother's palace for a long time, drank a cup of tea, said a few words of homely things, and then got up to say goodbye.
It's also a coincidence, just after walking out of the gate of the Yuanzhi Palace, I saw Xiang Guifei Niangniang coming down from the court.
"Erchen greets Xiang's concubine!" King Shende hurriedly bowed.
"It's Hibiscus." Concubine Xiang was supported by the palace maid, looking at this graceful prince, she couldn't help but show kindness, if her Lin Er was still alive, she must be so handsome and elegant.
"I'm wearing a little thinner." Concubine Xiang looked at the brocade round-necked robe of King Shende County, and couldn't help but show a little pity, "It's autumn, and you should add more."
King Shende Jun sneered and said, "Erchen is in a hurry to enter the palace to ask for peace, so he ...... it."
Concubine Xiang sighed lightly: "You don't have a princess in the house now, so it's inevitable to lose everything."
As she spoke, Concubine Xiang smiled suddenly: "Older people will inevitably be verbose."
"How so? The care of the noble mother and concubine is a blessing for the sons." King Shende hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
Concubine Xiang bowed slightly: "Go and say hello to your mother, this palace is also about to thank the queen mother."
King Shende was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that yesterday his father suddenly issued an order to posthumously admonish the king of the county to the emperor's eldest brother who died early, and this eldest brother who had never met was from Xiang Guifei.
After receiving Yan Laoliu's son, Yue Wangshu was about to get rid of the pearls and emeralds and go back to the inner hall to sleep, but Li Yue hurriedly came to report that Xiang Guifei wanted to see him.
"Today is the first day of the new year, and it's not the day to say goodbye...... he muttered, but he had to quickly straighten his clothes and go to the flower hall to meet Xiang Guifei.
She understood why Concubine Xiang came.
"The Queen!" Xiang Guifei was dressed a few points very plainly today, not full of pearls and jade, only combed an ordinary bun, only a few jade hairpins and cui dian hairpins, a lake blue dark flower satin jacket, with teardrops in her eyes, a few steps to pounce up, and she wanted to kneel straight to the ground.
Yue Wangshu hurriedly went up and held on, "Why do you have to make this big gift!"
Concubine Xiang burst into tears instantly: "Concubine Lin'er died in infancy, I'm afraid even the emperor has forgotten about it." If it weren't for the queen's mother, where would I be able to follow up?"
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but sigh, the child's untimely death was a lifelong pain in the mother's heart, and it was also a loss to have a concubine later, otherwise where would Xiang Guifei hold on?
Hurriedly helped her sit down together, "I just watched these princes grow up, and I couldn't help but think of the eldest son. Although it was so many years late, the emperor still ordered the rebuilding of the tomb of the king of Mindejun, which shows that the emperor has never forgotten this child in his heart."
Concubine Xiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The queen mother is so good to her concubines, not only has she loved her concubines and concubines over the years, but even Lin Er has remembered it in her heart, and her concubines ...... There is no way to repay it."
"If you say anything to repay or not to repay, you are out of sight." Yue Wangshu looked at this woman who had many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, how could she not feel pity?
"After all, we have been friends for twenty years, but it's just a matter of effort, how can I not help?"
Concubine Xiang was also emotional, yes, twenty years, thinking that back then, she was still worried because of the Yue family, but now that I think about it, how narrow-minded I was back then?
"Queen Meng before and after, and you in the back, the concubines of the harem of this dynasty, are really a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes." Xiang Guifei recalled her life, although she lost her son in her early years, how could she have been wronged in the second half of her life? The first queen took pity on her, and gave her the title of "Xiang", taking the meaning of Empress E's daughter Ying working together as a husband.
Although the harem concubines have lost their favor because of Queen Yue, before that, the emperor had treated the harem coldly, so the concubines were not jealous - frivolous people such as Fang Guifei are another matter. But even if Concubine Fang was frivolous and rude, Queen Yue still tolerated her again and again, and the heaviest punishment was just to be grounded in copying Buddhist scriptures.
"Think about the concubines of the first emperor's dynasty, how many people died in vain, and the concubines and others are really blessed." Concubine Xiang couldn't help but sigh
Road.
Yue Wang said comfortably, the main reason is that Queen Meng has made a good start, and then there are few concubines in the harem, so naturally there are fewer moths. The only thing that is a little wrong is only Concubine Fang, but it was only fluttered twice, and as she was no longer old, she gave up her heart.
Although she always scolded Emperor Yan Lao Liugou in her heart, she had to admit that this guy was really not lustful. When Concubine Fang was young, she was so charming, not only was this guy not moved, but felt very annoyed. Z.br>
"It's also a blessing to have you." Yue Wangshu looked at this Xiang concubine gently, to have such a virtuous and capable concubine, how could it not be the blessing of Yan Lao Liu? After the death of Empress Meng and the years when the harem was ownerless, all of them were taken care of by Concubine Xiang, and in those years, she worked hard and did not make any mistakes. This kind of talent is more than enough for the deceased family to be the head of the house. It's a pity that she married Yan Lao Liu as a concubine.
Concubine Xiang showed a slight expression, "The concubine was just a concubine, where did she think that there would be such glory and blessings." ββThe son was posthumously crowned the king of the county, and the daughter was even named the country, and she could often return to the palace to accompany her. Compared with the position of the honorable concubine, it is a great blessing to have children and grandchildren under the knees.
"Yo, isn't the concubine coming at an inopportune time?" Concubine Rong stood outside the agate bead chain, looking at the queen and Xiang Guifei holding hands, and couldn't help but joke, but there was a little sour in her words.
Yue Wangshu smiled and said, "You came at the right time!"
Concubine Rong blessed her body, so she also stepped forward and sat on the queen's side, one left and one right with Xiang Guifei, "The concubine is having a happy event to reciprocate, so she didn't ask anyone to spread it, and she just wanted to surprise the queen?"
Yue Wangshu smiled and asked, "Surprise? What surprise?"
Concubine Rong said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law is happy again!"
Princess Rongchang married Yue Wangshu's nephew Yue Changying three years ago, and gave birth to a daughter in the second year after marriage, this time it is the second child.
Xiang Guifei also smiled: "As the saying goes, flowers bloom first, and then bear fruit, and I think this baby is eighty percent of boys."
Concubine Rong nodded again and again: "Yes, Grandma'er is very pregnant this time, and she is especially sour."
Yue Wangshu: That's not good, even if it's a woman, it's patriarchal.
Concubine Xiang suddenly asked again, "Hasn't Jingle moved yet?"
Concubine Rong shook her head: "No, Concubine Fang is so anxious that her mouth is blistering!"
Concubine Xiang covered her lips and smiled, "There's no need to be so anxious, Jingle is still young."
Concubine Rong lowered her voice and said, "Can you not be in a hurry? I've heard...... The Duchess of Jingshan County wants to give her a concubine!"
Hearing this, Concubine Xiang's eyes widened, revealing a little unhappy, "It's only been a year since we got married!"
"Who's to say it isn't!" Although Concubine Rong doesn't like concubines either, she can't help but sigh for her admiration.
Yue Wangshu: Come on, this harem is no longer favored, and his eyes have run to the stomach of the next generation!
