Chapter 61: Joy and Sorrow Differ
In the middle of the month, the snow fell in Yongcheng again, which clothed this gorgeous and majestic Hongcheng in silver, adding a few different styles.
It's just that although the snow scene is good, there are also people who don't want to enjoy it.
Liu Yuniang had another miscarriage and failed to save the fetus in her womb, and the imperial doctor said that it was because Liu Yuniang was weak and not suitable for childbirth. Two days after Qingrong learned about this, she and the Wang family went to the palace to visit again, but this time although Liu Yuniang was sad, she was not as depressed and lifeless as before. After she saw Wang and Qingrong, she even laughed, which in turn reassured them, she sighed: "I am an unblessed person, my children are weak, and I can't help it." ”
Qingrong's heart was sour, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she had to talk about something else to distract Liu Yuniang's thoughts.
Wang and Qingrong can't stay in the palace for a long time, and when they are about to leave, Liu Yuniang is still thinking about Siniang's marriage, she said: "Siniang has also been with Lu for more than a year, although there was a lot of hardship at the beginning, and now it has been delayed here for so long, I will let her go out of the palace after I see it for a few days, and it is not good to stay with someone like me all day... I'm afraid of getting my bad luck..."
Siniang shook her head and whispered, "Why does Concubine Xian say this about herself? Concubine Xian is not in good health now, so how can I return home with peace of mind? ”
Wang also said: "Yes, Concubine Xian will let Siniang take care of it, and when Concubine Xian is better, it is not too late to talk about this, and I am not in a hurry for a moment." ”
At the beginning, it was because of offending the Xie family, and he had to send Siniang into the palace according to the Wei family's wishes, and others did not feel sorry for Liu Yuniang, and Siniang staying in the palace now is naturally not as thrilling as before.
Liu Yuniang shook her head and smiled, looking at Siniang lovingly, her voice was a little desolate, "Actually, she still has to leave after all, what kind of good place is this palace?" Siniang is a person who doesn't like to be restrained, how has this year been, I see it in my eyes, why let her delay me more? ”
Siniang was also very sad when she heard this, she said: "Taking care of Concubine Xian is something I am willing to do, and now Concubine Xian is like this, even if I leave the palace, I am uneasy, so I want to stay and accompany Concubine Xian for a while, just to be able to repay Concubine Xian's kindness to me for many days." ”
Qingrong also understands Siniang's thoughts, she has a bad temperament, and what she believes is what she has to do no matter what, Qingrong also persuaded: "Concubine Xian has no relatives to take care of, and we are always at ease, not to mention that if Siniang really leaves like this, I am afraid that she is also worried in her heart, and Concubine Xian will not fulfill her wishes." ”
Liu Yuniang naturally wanted Siniang to stay longer, but she couldn't delay Siniang because of herself, and she was worried that Siniang was not really willing to stay by her side. Now when she heard this, her heart was moved, and she couldn't help but cry, she nodded, choked up: "You have this heart, I... I'm content. ”
After the last few people said something, Siniang still had to stay in the palace for a month, and Liu Yuniang planned to ask the queen to return home before the Shangyuan Festival.
Cui Chenyu also knew the meaning of the Lu family's marriage in his heart, but because of Concubine Liu Xian's matter, he only visited the door first, and postponed the day when Na Cai asked for his name, and wanted to wait for the Shangyuan Festival to make arrangements.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Cui Chenyu asked the queen for grace and wanted to marry Lu Qingran, the daughter of the secretary Lu Wenzhong.
Qingrong didn't know what he and the queen said, but in the end, the queen agreed to his request and gave a special reward to congratulate the two on their new marriage.
All of a sudden, the news spread all over the palace and outside the palace, and such a happy event seemed to have swept away the haze that shrouded the Xianning Palace for several days, as if people's sorrows and joys could change dramatically in a few days... In the end, people are different from joy and sorrow.
But when Siniang in the palace heard about this, she was not as happy as she thought at first, and she was even a little repulsed...
After Liu Yuniang knew about this, she was much happier than Qingran, she seemed to have swept away her pathology, and the whole person also came to the spirit, asking Cui Wan to take stock of the treasury, so as to buy a dowry for Qingran, thinking about how to give a generous gift.
She gestured and selected the jewelry utensils, but Qingran on the side was a little absent-minded, Liu Yuniang smiled, thinking that she was happy, and asked, "What's wrong?" But are you thinking about the Cui Sheren? Before he got married, did his heart fly out? ”
Siniang was embarrassed for a while, and defended: "No..."
Liu Yuniang quipped: "Okay, okay, even if there is, it's not a shameful thing, in front of me, are you still embarrassed?" ”
Liu Yuniang had actually guessed about you and Cui Sheren before, but Qingran said that there was no such thing. Now it seems that these two people have already planned.
Siniang was embarrassed to speak.
Liu Yuniang smiled with relief, "In the future, if you marry Cui Sheren, you will also be a high-grade wife, and you can also enter the palace during the New Year's holidays, and I will have the opportunity to see your sisters again..."
Siniang smiled and said: "If Concubine Xian wants to see me and Sister A, we will often come to Concubine Xian, but I'm afraid that Concubine Xian will be tired of us when we fall." ”
"How so? Little Narrow Ghost! When you get married, you are always the same as before, managing the family house, interacting with relatives and clansmen, and you have to be busy with everything... Sanniang is okay, now she is not in charge, there is a mother-in-law and sister-in-law on top, but you are different, you marry into the house, you want to be the housekeeper, I am afraid that you are busy all day long, your feet do not touch the ground, it is not easy to come often, but it doesn't matter, I am very happy that you can come, although it is not common, I hope that the three of us can do all the best. ”
Siniang raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yuniang's warm and bright eyes, like someone... She remembered what she had accidentally learned two days ago, her eyes were a little silent for a while, and she whispered: "Sister Yu, I don't know why, I'm just, just suddenly... Didn't want to marry him. ”
Liu Yuniang was a little surprised for a moment and asked, "Why?" This marriage is very good, Cui Sheren is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, young and promising, and his future is limitless. Moreover, in my opinion, he treats you with affection and righteousness..."
Siniang just shook her head, and Liu Yuniang asked, "What's wrong?" What did he do to you and break your heart? ”
Siniang lowered her head, "No... Not him. But he knows this person, and he is quite close to her..."As she spoke, she suddenly looked up at Liu Yuniang and said seriously: "I can't forgive that person... No. ”
Liu Yuniang was stunned, took her hand, and said gently: "Since it's not his fault, how can you blame him?" He is him, just as you are you, and even if you are married, you cannot be confused. It's like you don't like this Miyagi, but you don't like it with me? ”
Siniang hurriedly shook her head, "Naturally not." ”
Liu Yuniang smiled, "That's it, since he didn't know and didn't do anything wrong, why should he be implicated in this?" ”
Liu Yuniang touched Siniang's face and said softly: "Since you want to be a bride, be happy, don't worry too much." The things in this palace, no matter what, have all passed. You... Don't embarrass yourself. ”
Siniang didn't want Liu Yuniang to worry about herself, so she forced herself to show a smile, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Xian, I understand." ”
On the fifteenth day of the first month, Qingran went out of the palace and returned home.
After a year or so, Siniang finally returned to her home and walked back to her yard again, and the feeling of being both strange and familiar haunted her. She has something in her heart, and her joy and sorrow are unspeakable, but she doesn't want her family to worry, so she still looks happy.
Qingrong Zi also returned to her parents' house, and she naturally noticed that something was wrong with Siniang, and wanted to have a good chat with her. But Xue Shao brought Cui Chenyu's invitation to celebrate the festival with Siniang, but Qingrong didn't find a chance. But after coming back that day, it was obvious that Siniang's mood seemed to be much more relaxed.
Not long after the festival, I heard that Xue Yan, the sister-in-law of the uncle of the Xue family, made a family affair with Xiao Shiniang, the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling. This time, I don't know how, this Xue Yan didn't resist this much, but accepted it calmly... Except for everyone, it turned out that he was not unable to accept the marriage of his parents' orders, and it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the deceased county lord.
Xue Yan is the only sister-in-law in the third room, so the third uncle and aunt attach great importance to this, and even the Su family and Qingrong have helped to handle this matter, not to mention that Qingrong has to take care of her mother's family recently, but she is also busy.
At this time, Qingrong was still in the house and told the Su family that the three uncles had set an auspicious day for the marriage. There were voices in the outer courtyard one by one, "The sage Xuanlu Niangzi entered the palace, and the sage Xuanlu Niangzi entered the palace." ”
This call suddenly cut off Qingrong's calm and busy life.
Su Shi and Qingrong were both stunned when they heard this, at this time, Xue Shao had already returned to the official office on duty, and was not at home, what did the sage do when she announced that she was a foreign woman entering the palace?
The little eunuch who delivered the decree rushed straight in from outside, and his voice was loud, "The sage has an edict, Xuanlu enters the palace!" ”
Su Shi hurriedly walked out of the house, stepped forward to greet him, and said politely to the eunuch, "There is a lao servant, I don't know what happened to the sage Xuanlu Niangzi?" ”
The eunuch frowned, "Don't let the little one be embarrassed. At this time, Qingrong also came out of the house and stepped forward to salute, "The concubine obeys the order." The eunuch glanced at Qingrong again, "Lu Niangzi should ask for more blessings!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Shi looked frightened and hurriedly said, "Where do you start with this..."
The little eunuch coughed twice and urged: "The lady doesn't have to be polite, please clean up quickly, and enter the palace with the little one to face the saint, don't let the saint wait for a long time." ”
Qingrong asked again: "There is a lao waiter, I want to ask more, I wonder if I am the only one who faces the saint?" ”
The eunuch was embarrassed, but still shook his head, "There are also Li Sui and Li Lieutenant of the Ying State Mansion and Xu Lingxiu, who is the secretary of the palace, are also in the palace." ”
Qingrong was shocked, when did these two get together again? She nodded suspiciously, and when she returned to the house to change her clothes, she told Ah Zhen to go to Xue Shao quickly and inform her of the matter, and then asked the Su family to inform her in-laws, and the Su family did not dare to delay, so she quickly nodded and responded.
I don't know what happened here, the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, and Qingrong's heart is really bottomless.
She went back and forth to recount the recent events in her mind, but she still didn't understand what was going on? Could it be... Something to do with the Cui family?
