Chapter 33: Concubine De
Yuan Yuan and Zhou Xiaoxue fed the little goldfish in the East Palace for a while, and then Zhou Xiaoxue proposed to go out of the palace and return home, and Yuan Yuan asked Chasing the Wind to send people home.
"Miss Xinxin, do you want to go sleep for an hour? Later, the slave and maid will wake you up for dinner? Tsing Yi yawned when she saw the little girl, thinking that she was also tired, it was the age of the long body, and she was more sleepy.
"Okay." I was willing to let Tsing Yi lead me back to the dormitory, but I was coaxed to sleep by Tsing Yi after a while.
Exiting the original wish of the dormitory, he happened to meet Yan Huai coming back, "Your Highness, Miss Xinxin is asleep." ”
"Hmm." Yan Huai answered in a low voice, and walked past her directly into the dormitory to see the little girl.
The day in June is getting hotter, and I want to sleep and start to be dishonest, I always like to kick the quilt at night, Yan Huai went in and saw that the little girl was sleeping crookedly, and the quilt had fallen to the ground.
After leaving the dormitory, he saw that Tsing Yi was still waiting, Yan Huai advised, "She sleeps restlessly, you watch more at night, it's been hot recently, cut a few more sets of summer clothes, and pay attention to meals." ”
"Yes, the slave has written it down." Tsing Yi should be warm.
After Yan Huai left, Tsing Yi called Cai Sang over to take care of the original wish, and then went to the warehouse with Cai Ju to pick up clothes, and then said that the original wish liked the style, and Cai Ju sent it to the garment bureau.
After explaining the matter, Tsing Yi also began to go to the dining room to find the flower kitchen to prepare dinner, the daily life of the East Palace was dull and cumbersome, but no one complained.
Corning Palace.
"Chi'er, how is your homework lately?" Concubine De sandwiched a crystal dumpling for Yan Chi and asked softly about his schoolwork.
Yan Chi replied in a flat tone, "It's okay." ”
The son resents herself, Concubine De understands it in her heart, but she has never been the kind of person who loves to fight, let alone since she committed such a wrong thing two years ago, the threat of her brother, and the alienation of her son, she has no way, and she has no face to face everyone casually, so she can only choose to escape the world.
"Chi'er, it's the concubine who can't stand you, but let's not think about things that don't belong to us, okay? Shall we just live quietly? Concubine De persuaded with some weakness that her son's close contact with her brother had made her have to re-examine her brother's intentions.
"Enough of the concubine! I don't want to hear it! Haven't I been quiet enough all these years? If it weren't for me being alive, who knew there would be a second prince like me? Am I not quiet enough? Do you know how envious I am every time I watch my father teach the emperor and spoil Yan Ze! ”
Yan Chi hated Concubine De's cowardice, obviously her uncle was a general with heavy troops, she didn't do much to do it, and also prevented him from communicating with his uncle, how could there be such a mother in the world who actually destroyed her child's future!
"Chi'er, why do you have to compare yourself with others? Your father also really loves you. Concubine De looked at her somewhat paranoid son, and became more and more powerless.
"Why should the mother deceive herself, my father treats me less than one-third of the imperial brother, he has never asked me about my schoolwork, nor has he ever asked me for warmth like he cares for Yan Ze! Mother, why are you so secluded? ”
Yan Chi didn't understand, the mother concubine used to like to take him to Weiyang Hall to accompany the queen, but I don't know when it started, unless there was a major festival, otherwise she would not easily leave Kangning Palace.
Concubine De didn't want her son to know what she had done in the first place, and now, she just wanted to live quietly and wait until the right time to atone for her sins.
"That's it, if you really want to associate with your uncle like this, then it's up to you, it's just Chi'er, the mother wants you to think twice before doing anything." The son was aggrieved, and Concubine De didn't want to add any more suspicion between mother and son, so she could only compliment him.
Seeing that Concubine De was no longer blocking herself, Yan Chi's face was no longer so indifferent, "Well, Erchen understands. ”
After dinner, Concubine De ordered someone to send Yanchi back to the prince's office, and she went to the small Buddha hall.
Mama Feng lit incense for her and handed it to her, looking at the master's sad appearance, Mama Feng thought about the grievances suffered by the second prince in the past two years, and couldn't help but persuade Concubine De, "Niangniang, you were also a victim back then, why should you have trouble with yourself anymore?" You see how aggrieved our second prince is, you have always refused him to associate with the general, do you know that there is no one to accompany him in this deep palace? ”
"The second prince will have a grudge against you when he is bitter in his heart, so let go of it, go and see Your Majesty more, so that the second prince can also get some care from Your Majesty."
Mama Feng persuaded her bitterly, but Concubine De never wavered, "Mama, I am a sinner, I don't want to disturb Sister Wen's remaining time, this is what I owe her." ”
"Mama doesn't need to say any more, I've made up my mind." After Concubine De finished speaking, she began to knock on the wooden fish to recite Buddhist scriptures, and Mama Feng didn't dare to disturb anymore, so she could only stay by her side quietly.
In Weiyang Palace, Mama Tang waited for Queen Wen to lie down on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt distressedly, and couldn't help but resent God's injustice, "Our master is so kind and peaceful that he can't be cared for, this lame God!" ”
Empress Wen couldn't help but laugh when she heard her childlike words, and said softly, "Mama, why should you be angry with God, since I watched those people being admitted to the palace, I also knew that he would not protect me anymore." ”
"Master..."Mama Tang felt sorry for her, obviously from Zhong Mingding's family, but in the end she was still trapped and tired by this deep palace.
"Mama, I'm a little tired." Empress Wen closed her eyes tiredly, and Mama Tang had no choice but to stop making a sound to disturb her master's sleep.
The days passed day by day, and in late June, the day was getting hotter and hotter, and Emperor Yan had to put four large basins of ice cubes full of ice cubes to cool down every day in the Qinzheng Palace.
"Wan'er, the sun is getting more and more vicious, Mama Tang said that you can't sleep these days, and your complexion is getting worse and worse." Emperor Yan glanced at Empress Wen's bedroom, but there was only a small plate of ice cubes, and immediately stood up and attacked.
"Presumptuous! That's how you serve your master! How dare you deduct the master's ice? What a heinous sin! Come on, pull these evil slaves down and beat them with 20 boards! ”
Emperor Yan was furious, so frightened that the palace maids hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty spare your life!" Your Majesty spares your life! ”
"Your Majesty, it's the concubines who don't let them let them go more, don't blame them." Empress Wen wilted and took his hand and said.
"Wan'er, I know you don't want to be extravagant, but it's so hot, you have to take care of yourself first." Emperor Yan hugged the person into his arms in distress.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine just doesn't have much appetite, it's too hot to eat anything." Empress Wen said weakly, she was afraid of heat, and naturally she couldn't sleep at night.
"Wan'er, I just want to tell you today, in a few days we will go to the palace to escape the heat, it will be cool over there, and you will not be tortured by this day again." Emperor Yan had already sent someone to clean up the palace some time ago, and the materials had already been prepared, just waiting for them to pass.
