Chapter 44: There are too many accidents in the palace
The winter in the Forbidden City is long, especially in the past few days, it has snowed heavily in Beijing, and the big guy is muttering about the snow and the good year, while lamenting the cold of the snowy day.
For example, Sun Miaoqing, according to the classification of nobles, 25 catties of black charcoal and 5 catties of red basket charcoal every day in winter. Sounds pretty good, but this is all the use of her, as well as all the palace maids and eunuchs under her hands.
Wash your face in the morning, wash your feet in the evening, and if you want to stew soup or something in the small kitchen in the middle, you can use it inside.
Sun Miaoqing was afraid of the cold, so she had to put two more charcoal pots in the house than others, and gave An Lingrong some of them as a return gift to her. Those who are worse can only use the silver and go to the internal affairs office to exchange it.
Sitting on the kang with the stove in her arms, a thin blanket on her lap, and three stoves resting in the room, she felt warmer.
Secretly rubbing her thoughts, fortunately she doesn't have much but a lot of silver, otherwise she won't be able to survive this winter.
Liuli put a layer of barbed wire on a stove, and a clay pot was placed on the barbed wire, which was boiled with milk, osmanthus, oolong tea, red dates, and longan.
The fragrance of tea is mixed with milk, which has the sweetness of red dates and longan, and the richness of osmanthus flowers, giving people a warm feeling.
There are also sweet potatoes, oranges, taro and other things roasted next to it, and making tea around the stove is indeed a great pleasure on a snowy day.
While peeling peanuts, melon seeds, and walnuts for Sun Miaoqing, Lily of the Valley said, "There are two days left for the emperor's birthday, hurry up, these more than 5,000 words, you have finally finished embroidering." ”
Rose said, "yes, thank you Ann for agreeing." ”
"Otherwise, you have to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall every day to serve, where can the embroidery be finished."
Pour some milk tea from the clay pot into the tea bowl and put it on the tea table on Sun Miaoqing's kang to cool.
Rose looked through the gap in the window, looking out of the window, the white expanse, and continued, "It's getting colder and colder, and by the day of Wanshou Day, the snow doesn't know how thick it will be." ”
Sun Miaoqing said in a somewhat depressed mood, "It snows in Suzhou every year, but it's not as big as the capital, and I don't know what happened to my brother and sister-in-law at home, and the letter has been sent out for so long, and there is no reply." ”
Rose and Lily of the Valley glanced at each other, they missed the days in Sun's Mansion just like Sun Miaoqing. The days when there is no favor in the palace are sad, and the days when there is favor may not be very good.
There are rules everywhere, and every sentence is not detached from the system. Every day passes, it feels like I am overwhelmed.
However, the little lord is in a bad mood, so they have to raise their spirits and persuade them well, if they also show homesickness, then doesn't it make the little lord even more sad?
Lily of the valley persuaded, "Don't worry, the little lord is thousands of miles away from Suzhou, and you said that you want to be safe, so you don't have a quick horse and a quick journey to attract attention." ”
"This back and forth, plus the snow and the road is slippery, it will take a month."
"The old lady hurts you the most, I think I have prepared a lot of good things and let people send them together, and it is normal to delay a few days."
Sun Miaoqing nodded, and agreed with Lily of the Valley's words, "This is, I want to eat the orange cheese made by my sister-in-law, and I don't know if I can eat it in the future." ”
Rose said, "I must be able to, the little lord is favored by the emperor like this, and in the future, he will be able to ask for the emperor's grace and invite his wife to visit the palace." ”
Hearing the concubine and concubine, Sun Miaoqing felt a little discouraged, she had only been promoted to a noble person for a few days, and there was little hope of wanting to seal the concubine for the next two years, unless she ......
Liuli said, "Actually, you don't need to ask the emperor for grace, the little lord can also invite his wife to serve in the palace." ”
Sun Miaoqing, Rose, and Lily of the Valley all looked at Liuli, and Lily of the Valley asked first, "Is this true?" And such a thing? ”
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Sun Miaoqing also looked at Liuli expectantly, and Liuli said with a smile, "The rules in the palace, after the concubine is eight months pregnant, she can take her mother's mother into the palace to serve until the confinement is over." ”
"The little lord is loved by the emperor like this, it is a matter of time before he becomes pregnant, and when the time comes, he will be able to take his wife into the palace and get together. What is it to be a concubine or a concubine, even if it is a concubine, it is not a problem. ”
Rose and Lily of the Valley also thought so, Concubine Qi and the third elder brother, they were not liked by the emperor, they were still the same noble, they were mainly because they had a prince, of course, they were different from others.
Sun Miaoqing thought about this, the big fat orange would not allow Concubine Hua to have a prince in her hands, so not only Concubine Hua could not give birth, but neither could Concubine Li. If Wen Yi wasn't a princess, it would be impossible for Cao Guiren to take care of her.
Speaking of which, she went around again, the Sun family is not separated from the Nian family, even if she gives birth to a prince, even if she is a concubine and a concubine, the big fat orange will not let her raise herself.
If so, what's the difference between surrogacy and surrogacy for other women!
Sun Miaoqing touched her belly, she was not a child-giving mother, she entered the palace to give people children.
Sun Miaoqing said, "This matter is all providence, and I can't rush it." ”
"And in recent years, only Princess Wenyi was born safely. The noble Fang who entered the cold palace was an accident, and Xin Chang was also an accident, and there were too many accidents in this palace. ”
Liuli and Lily of the Valley were shocked, and when they thought about it, it was really as Sun Miaoqing said. Everyone wants to be pregnant, but they don't want others to be pregnant, isn't that the case?
Rose asked hesitantly, "Little Lord, why do you suddenly think so?" ”
Of course, because she knew the great achievements of the queen!
But Sun Miaoqing could only think about this in her heart, even if she was about Rose and Lily of the Valley, she didn't dare to mention half a word.
Sun Miaoqing said, "It's just that I just talked about getting pregnant, and I suddenly remembered it." I heard that when Cao Guiren gave birth, it was also miserable and abnormal, and he almost couldn't give birth. ”
"The midwife took a dangerous trick to save her and the princess's lives, I just think that the princess and princess were born noble, so they have more tribulations than ordinary children."
As soon as Sun Miaoqing's words fell, a voice came from the door, and when he came in, he found that it was Su Peisheng.
"The slave has seen the honest nobleman."
Sun Miaoqing said, "On such a cold day, how did you let Grandpa Su come over?" The emperor really doesn't know how distressed people are. ”
"Bring a cup of milk tea to Father-in-law Su and a few little fathers-in-law to drive away the cold."
Su Peisheng said with a smile, "The nobles are really good at laughing, the servants are lowly people, and it is already a great blessing to be able to serve the emperor." ”
"Besides, the emperor is distressed, and he also feels sorry for you, the nobles, the minions are not worthy."
Sun Miaoqing said, "Father-in-law Su said this, who is not raised by his parents, how can there be anything worthy or unworthy." ”
"Besides, since you were a child, you have been by the emperor's side, and the emperor's heart is at the tip, there is no one's position, and there will be no place for your father-in-law."
Receiving the milk tea handed over by Liuli, holding the warm tea bowl with both hands, Su Peisheng and the others only felt that it was warm to their hearts from their hands.
It's not just because of this bowl of steaming milk tea, but because of the sentence that life is raised by parents.
What kind of eyes Su Peisheng has never seen, whether it is hypocrisy or falsehood, you can see it at a glance.
Eunuchs are also human beings, but too many people don't treat eunuchs as human beings.
As for saying that he is the tip of the emperor's heart, although Su Peisheng does not dare to boast of himself like this, but thinking that he has worked hard for so many years, the emperor has some master-servant friendship with him.
This honest nobleman speaks really nicely, no wonder he is favored by the emperor like this.
"Thank you, minion, your words are really tormenting the minion."
"I almost forgot to get down to business, the emperor is at the queen's place at this time, and specially asked the servants to come and talk to you, so that you don't have to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to serve today."
Sun Miaoqing said in surprise, "Yes! ”
Forgetting his form for a while, seeing Su Peisheng's strange expression, Sun Miaoqing sat up straight, cleared her throat, and said, "I know, I bother Father-in-law Su to come here hard." ”
Su Peisheng said with a smile, "The word has arrived, and the slave has to go back to resume his life, so he will not delay the nobleman's rest, and the slave will retire." ”
Sun Miaoqing said, "Father-in-law Su walks slowly, lily of the valley, send Father-in-law Su out." ”
