Chapter 2 The world is unpredictable
According to the rules, a maid can't sleep with her master, but Chu Ying was frightened during the day, and there was only one bed in this room, so she had to pull Xin Wei to sleep with her.
Chu Ying had her head on the pillow and muttered about her fate, Xin Wei listened to her quietly, saying that she would always be quiet when she was tired, and she snored not long after.
Xin Wei looked at the mahogany roof of the firewood room and couldn't fall asleep.
This Yong'an Palace is really good everywhere, even the firewood room is also white walls and tiles, lotus petal pillars, impermeable, but the roof is simple.
Suddenly, Chu Ying, who was sleeping beside her, sat up suddenly, panting with wide eyes in the night.
Xin Wei was taken aback by her: "What's wrong?" ”
"I dreamed that Liu Qingshu died," Chu Ying's voice was crying, "I dreamed that her face was cut by Concubine Meng Hui, and then, and then she was thrown into a cave, and the cave was full of wolves, taking her, ...... her"
After all, she is a woman who grew up in a thousand pets, and her experiences since she was a child have been beautiful, and she can't even describe such a cruel picture.
Liu Qingshu was a show girl who entered the palace with them, but Liu Qingshu was named Zhaoyi by the queen and lived in Weiyang Palace.
All three of them have a similar face.
Xin Wei sat up and gave her a smooth back.
"You're still worried about Liu Qingshu."
Chu Ying covered her face and cried: "Xin Wei, I want to go home, I want to go home......"
What Chu Ying could think of, Xin Wei naturally thought of as well.
The queen's arrangement for the three of them can be described as attentive. The two mediocre qualifications were sent to Yong'an Palace to Ying Huifei, and Feng Liu Qingshu was used as Zhaoyi, which had other uses, and would be sent to the emperor in the near future.
At that time, Concubine Meng Hui might be tolerant?
Xin Wei yawned and comforted gently: "Don't be afraid, Qingshu is not a person who can be easily moved by Concubine Meng Hui, her father and brother are stationed at the border pass, and they are all rare tiger generals in Great Xia, how can the emperor not treat General Liu's pearl in his palm?" ”
"But Concubine Hui will be angry with us!"
Chu Ying thought about it, and felt that the prospect was bleak, and even imagined countless possibilities for how she would die tragically.
Bai Ling, poisonous wine, beheading, these are considered to be happy deaths, and even Ling Chi, skinning, cannon branding, and potting......
"I'm not worried about Liu Qingshu, I'm worried about myself, I really don't want to die!"
Xin Wei laughed and said: "Yes, the world is unpredictable, the first prince has been a prince for more than ten years, but he died violently when the first emperor was critically ill, and the new emperor was ordered to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan when he was in danger. ”
Chu Ying covered her mouth, widened her eyes and said in a low voice: "You dare to talk about the emperor's affairs?" ”
"You feel like a dead end, what else is there you don't dare to say?"
Xin Wei held her hand and sighed, "So, you can't guess if tomorrow will turn the world upside down again, and it will become a situation where you don't need to be afraid anymore." ”
Chu Ying thought about it again and again, and shook her head: "The first prince was killed by a eunuch, and the eunuch party has been abolished, who can let Concubine Meng Hui die in the palace like the first prince?" ”
Hearing this, Xin Wei's fingers tightened, and her nose was a little sour.
She blinked her eyes and asked rhetorically: "Since the eunuch can kill the prince in the palace, it can be seen that he is capable, why can he be easily abolished?" ”
Chu Ying was slightly stunned, and didn't understand why she asked this for a while.
Xin Wei hugged her and said in her ear: "The world is unpredictable, isn't it, since we are still fine today, then we will live well." ”
Chu Ying sobbed for a long time, finally calmed down, and let out a long sigh in the dark night.
"Xin Wei, what kind of people do you think we look like?"
Xin Wei maintained the posture of hugging her, her chin rested on her thin shoulder, and said lazily: "I don't know, I just see that Concubine Hui hates her very much." ”
"To make a woman so disgusted, is it to compete with her for favor? But why have you never heard of such a person? ”
The woman beside the emperor, the world knows the queen who has the dignity of the mother of the country, and also knows the concubine Meng Hui, who is favored by the emperor, and the eldest princess who is like thunder.
But I have never heard of a woman who can be regarded as a thorn in the side of Concubine Meng Hui.
Xin Wei's eyes were a little dry.
"Just because I haven't heard of her means that she's not worth talking about."
-
Only half a month later, the news of Liu Qingshu's acceptance of the title of noble concubine spread throughout the palace.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he only sealed the harem once at the request of civil officials.
In the past three years, the Great Xia has been in ruins, the emperor is busy with government affairs and has no time to ask about the concubine, only Concubine Meng Hui has been pregnant with the emperor's heir, and no one has ever been lucky enough to get the emperor's reward.
Liu Guifei is a precedent.
He was the first person who was fortunate enough to be canonized by the emperor himself in the past three years.
The next day, Concubine Meng Hui got up at an unprecedented time and went to Fengyi Palace early to greet the queen, but learned that the emperor had made a special case for Concubine Liu, and there was no need to greet the queen.
The queen sat on the phoenix chair, and in front of the concubines in the harem, she said meaningfully: "This concubine Liu really doesn't know the current affairs, Concubine Hui is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and she has never been exempted from asking for peace, how can she dare to accept this holy grace?" ”
On the surface, he is picking Liu Guifei, but secretly he is laughing at Concubine Meng Hui's pampering, but she has never been treated specially.
Concubine Meng Hui replied: "It's good that the queen is the person who brought it up, and the queen doesn't have to blame herself, it's just that she is not ladylike." ”
The queen smiled: "It's good that the emperor is happy, what does the palace have to blame?" ”
Seeing that the smell of gunsmoke was strong and the atmosphere was not good, the concubines rushed up to ask for retreat, and no one wanted to get involved in this matter.
Concubine Meng Hui mocked: "The queen is worthy of being the mother of the country, she should be really generous, and she is willing to climb the steps for her, I am afraid that I have not seen the emperor for several months." ”
The queen's expression did not move, and Mama Zhou beside her said: "The emperor respects the queen's mother, even if there are all kinds of opportunities, there is always a fifteenth day of the new year every month to visit the queen's mother." ”
Concubine Meng Hui raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes.
It's just a routine thing to come and see, Concubine Meng Hui can inquire, the emperor has always sat and walked in Fengyi Palace, and he will not stay for a long time.
Mama Zhou said again: "The queen mother controls the harem, not as idle as Concubine Hui, please go back." ”
Concubine Meng Hui touched her stomach, looked at her stomach and said, "This palace is naturally leaving, and I have to go back to drink fetal medicine." This fetal pill is very bitter...... The queen hasn't drunk it, has she? ”
With that, she turned and left.
Mama Zhou couldn't get angry, so she caught up two steps and shouted: "Concubine Hui has drunk a few times, why hasn't a prince seen it?" You have to take care of your body, don't let the emperor rejoice again! ”
Concubine Meng Hui couldn't say anything, she was full of resentment, and while walking, she poured her anger on Aunt Qin.
"You see how much the queen's lackeys can call, why don't you say a word? I don't know how to say a few words for this palace? ”
Aunt Qin bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Niangniang, I'm stupid." ”
She said in her heart that Concubine Hui had a family background to rely on and an heir by her side, so she dared to argue with the queen for a few words. She is a slave of a concubine, how can she go up to choke with Mama Zhou?
