Difficult to be a Concubine - C321 Chalcedony (X)
Xia Ye watched from the side and couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s not like beacon did not make any mistakes. I even made the empress dowager happy, how could I not agree? Don’t worry, beacon. How about I ask over there?”
Mu Fengchai was helpless, she could only listen to her and instructed her to bring a few more small straws to reward him.
“Sigh, before this, I haven’t even been called the little rich lady. Now that I’ve entered the palace, I actually feel as if silver was flowing from my fingers like water.” She wondered if she should add some personal property after the autumn harvest was sent to the palace.
Xia Ye went to the empress dowager’s palace to ask for news, but Mu Fengchai only found out after she had gone for a long time.
Originally, the empress dowager was surprised to see Mu Rousang. She had always thought that the woman that her son had longed for had a fox-like appearance, but who would have thought that she would be so gentle and beautiful.
The empress dowager pondered for a moment. She knew who her son was, but of course, he had a very high opinion of the emperor.
Afterwards, the empress dowager and Mu Rousang brought up the matter of saving her life, and their words were filled with gratitude. Hearing the meaning behind her words, Mu Rousang realized that Su Ruirui was the genuine son of the Heavenly Dragon and that there was such a calamity in his life.
“After going through many trials and tribulations, the Emperor will finally have his chance today.”
The Empress Dowager felt that Mu Rousang was not a person that she loathed. Although she was not as silly as the little girl he saw the other day, she was not a person who harbored a belly full of evil intentions.
Mu Rousang had entered the palace before, and was still the empress dowager of a imperial concubine at the time. Because Su Ruirui had once begged the empress dowager for her, she had even kneeled down for her.
Seeing her only son’s savior.
At that time, the esteemed wangfei probably wished for nothing more than for Mu Rousang to die!
It was a different time!
Things were very different now.
Even if her son was missing Mu Rousang, she would eventually marry someone else.
The Emperor could not and did not need love.
The most unfortunate thing was the Princess Xiangyang at the time. If the current Idle Consort did not have a villainous side, she might have been a very dangerous Queen. She had the ability to lead the six palaces.
Only, when she saw the real Mu Rousang, there was that little bit of regret in her heart.
If such a woman became the empress, she might even become a virtuous empress.
Unfortunately, he missed it.
Due to the complicated relationship between the imperial court and the empress dowager, the empress dowager intended to make peace with Mu Rousang. When she heard that her culinary skills were not bad, she asked her to make some snacks for herself in Sichuan.
Born and raised in the Northern Lands, the Empress Dowager did not find the snacks in Sichuan to be delicious, but on the surface, he still kept praising them.
When Mu Fengchai heard this, she laughed: “So it’s because my cousin became a cook.”
However, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Seeing that, Xia Ye hurriedly advised: “beacon, Mme Marquis Wen is intelligent, of course he knows what to do.”
“My cousin has always been a good person. I think she will be safe.”
Mu Fengchai replied in this manner, but in the end, she still went to a small side hall at the side of the Pure Yi Hall. There, a Buddha was waiting for her, and she knelt and chanted scriptures for an entire afternoon.
She finally heard the good news.
The messenger was Xia Zhu.
Her cheerful voice rang in the hall.
“beacon, beacon, it’s a joyous occasion.”
Mu Fengchai put down the Jade Buddha Pearl in her hand, turned around and asked: “What makes you so happy?”
“Oh, beacon, it’s such a joyous occasion. The empress dowager likes the food made by Mme Marquis Wen, and the empress dowager intends to take him in as her adopted daughter. After the emperor heard this, he chose ‘Min Hui’ as his adopted daughter and said that the empress dowager originally had no daughter, thus the empress dowager became the empress dowager’s adopted daughter.
A single long word is enough to bestow the title of Grand Princess Min Hui. ”
“Princess Min Hui?” Joy flashed across Mu Fengchai’s eyes, the pain in her heart was mixed with bitterness and a faint sense of security.
“That day, I agreed to his request. I never would have thought that he would make a move so quickly.”
Grand Princess Agility!
Mu Fengchai sighed again. Thinking about it, this new emperor had long planned in her heart, and was only waiting for the empress dowager to seduce him.
She could not help but think of that night when they first met. She was at Baolin at that time and could not stay at the Palace.
With her relationship with Mu Rousang, even if she did not enter the palace, Su Ruirui would not say anything.
But if she went to the palace, he would love her.
“If I say that it’s because I’ve fallen in love with the Emperor, not to mention that you don’t believe me, but even I myself don’t believe it. When outsiders see me, they will always say that I’m more or less similar to my cousin, but back in the small mountain village, my cousin and I only had some similarities!”
Mu Fengchai continued: “Chenqie wants to protect our brothers and cousin.”
Su Ruirui, who had not spoken for a long time, had a slight change in expression, and asked softly: “You want to protect her? “Why?”
Mu Fengchai knew, from what she said, as the Emperor, Su Ruirui would not do anything to her.
My cousin grew up in the wilderness. Even with the guidance of her aunts, she is still very wild and stubborn to the bone, but she was also taught to be a lady of a noble family. There are always people in the world who do not like others better than them, so …
Thus, I will think of ways to destroy my cousin. Chenqie thinks that if chenqie is strong enough, can’t people bully my cousin? Chenqie has always wanted to protect her cousin. ”
Su Ruirui’s eyes dimmed for a moment.
Even though he knew that the woman beside him was a substitute, he was still unable to stop him from thinking about her heart.
“It does look like it!” His words were as brief as they were intended to be.
Then he said, “I will protect her, you don’t have to worry.”
He narrowed his eyes and carefully hid the sharpness in his eyes and the fangs in his mouth.
Those women with long hair and short eyes dared to look down on her?
Humph!
He could not force her to be a queen, but he could make the world look up to her.
“Listen to me and you will benefit. I will give you love and love.”
It was probably because Mu Fengchai was Mu Rousang’s cousin, or perhaps because she and Mu Rousang looked very similar, that Su Ruirui was unable to be as heartless as when facing his other concubines.
Even though he clearly knew that he had treated Mu Fengchai as a substitute, he was still unable to harm the person in his heart in the slightest.
“Perhaps you think that I am cruel, but before you entered the palace you already knew what I was thinking. The only thing I can give you is love and love.”
Mu Fengchai’s heart ached. The person she liked when she was young was actually as cold and heartless as her brothers had said.
Perhaps love truly wasn’t suitable for this palace.
No matter what, Mu Fengchai had achieved her wish. She had finally climbed up to the position of beacon, and her cousin had finally become the sole Grand Princess of this generation in Great Zhou Dynasty.
No one dared to underestimate her.
When Mu Fengchai saw that her cousin was doing well, she calmed down and stayed in the imperial harem.
After becoming the Grand Princess, Mu Rousang would be able to enter the palace without being summoned. When she thought of Mu Fengchai, she would bring food that she had personally made to visit her.
And every time he did this, Mu Fengchai would wolf it down while laughing with tears in his eyes.
Although she could not be a couple with the Emperor throughout her entire life, she had another kind of happiness. This happiness came from the love and love of her family.
Every time he did this, he would always hear Mu Rousang’s complaints, saying that it was fine if Mu Fengchai had entered the palace.
At this time, Mu Fengchai would smile and interrupt her, saying that she missed her cousin’s food so much, that’s why she became skinnier.
At this time, Mu Rousang always poked her on the forehead and asked: Do you regret it? Do you want to leave the palace?
Mu Fengchai was very envious in her heart. Her own cousin, who was held in such pain by others, was always this confident no matter what.
It was because she had two men who loved her and supported her.
Mu Fengchai shook her head from beginning to end, indicating that she was alright within the palace.
She had never told her cousin that she had crawled from the pure beacon to the position of pure concubine, and had secretly fought with others. It was unknown just how many people she had killed.
From a pure concubine to a pure concubine to the position of imperial concubine, how many corpses had she stepped on to climb to this position?
It was because of a single sentence that she had said to Mu Rousang when they were young: Cousin sister, I will always accompany you. I definitely won’t let you be bullied!
Mu Rousang had complained all his life that she should not have entered the palace. Since she did not keep her promise, the two sisters were able to live in the capital and walk around often, chatting and laughing.
Mu Fengchai had never explained it to her before, but she kept her promise using a different method.
In this emaciated imperial harem, Mu Fengchai’s heart had always been outside the palace, at her parents’ house, by her cousin’s side.
She did not care whether Su Ruirui gave birth to children or brought up children, but the heavens pitied her, and in the end, she still received a daughter.
Only a few years old, but she was conferred the title of ‘Princess Fortune’.
Fuxin Princess Su Shan’er was a true disciple of Mu Fengchai and her subordinate.
When Su Ruirui looked at Su Shan’er, it was as if he was looking at another person. At that time, he no longer looked so cold that it would make people unable to approach him.
Mu Fengchai understood in her heart that this aloof and dignified man only loved one woman in her life.
That was her cousin, Mu Rousang.
Her daughter’s appearance was a little more similar to her cousin Mu Rousang, and also a little more similar to Su Ruirui.
She thought that this pitiful emperor like Su Ruirui should have already achieved perfection.
If he couldn’t get her cousin, it would be a form of comfort to have a daughter who looked similar to his cousin.
The husband that she had chosen for her daughter was a young general from a noble family. Deep in Mu Fengchai’s heart, he was still a girl from the small mountain village back then.
Her nieces were just as shrewd, and she could still accept that, but reality was not ideal.
At that time, a good sister of hers whom they were close with in the palace, Zhang Shuya died in childbirth, Guo Xiufen was so safe and sound, she became her concubine.
The days in the palace were hard and easy to get by.
In the spring of the early thirty-five years, the fifty year old Mu Fengchai was lying on her bed.
In the magnificent Changchun Palace, the entire palace was bathed in the warmth and comfort of the spring sun.
It was a peaceful afternoon, the gentle spring breeze blew past the Ling Hua window that was pushed open, Yang Zixuan and Su Ruirui were seated outside the palace playing chess, the sounds of their bickering could be heard from outside, causing Mu Fengchai’s heart to become even calmer.
“Feng Chai, do you want some tea? I heard from your female official that this is the first tea of spring. Was it picked by the myrtle girls?” Mu Rousang personally brewed a few cups of tea and called for the palace maid to send two of them out.
The tender tea was like a small boat, quietly moored in the green waves.
As Mu Rousang walked closer, Mu Fengchai smelled a faint fragrance that caused one’s spirits to rise.
The refreshing fragrance of the tea diluted the strong medicinal smell in the palace.
