Like Pearl and Jade - Chapter 61
Tai Fei hid behind Gu Rujiu and shivered. She didn’t respond to the reprimands of Qian Fei. Her eyes widened as if she could stare out her eyes in the next moment.
“It’s not me, it’s not me,” Toffee Sun suddenly pointed to Toffee Qian, screaming, “It’s you, you must have done it.”
Bang.
After the thunder struck, the violent wind blew up, and the branches outside blew loudly. Gu Rujiu earned his wrist from Tai Fei’s hands and turned to see Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian’s clothes flicked, her steps shook slightly, her mouth tightly stretched, and she seemed to try to suppress some emotions, but when Gu Rujiu looked at her, the expression on her face had gradually calmed down.
“Queen empress, the concubine Sun had a nightmare, and her head was a little confused,” said Concubine Qian, who walked to Gu Rujiu and paid a courtesy to Gu Rujiu. Gu Rujiu returned to a courtesy. Please doctor. ”
“Queen empress,” Qian Fei looked at Gu Rujiu with a solemn expression, “Tai Fei nonsense at this time, if it spreads out, I’m afraid that it would hurt the reputation of the royal family.”
“Queen Concubine is assured that this word cannot be passed out,” Gu Rujiu’s eyes swept across the face of the people in the temple. “If it is spread, all people related to this matter will go to the Prudential Division to receive the punishment.”
The court attendants dared not look up to her gaze and bowed their heads one after another.
“According to the orders of the palace, the concubine Sun suffered cold at night, and the evil wind entered the body, so that the people in the Tai hospital came to diagnose the pulse of the concubine Sun as soon as possible.” “Concubine Qian, why don’t we talk in another place? I’m afraid that this place has too many people, which is not conducive to Sun Taifei’s rest.”
Mrs. Qian glanced at Sun Taifei, who had already had some abnormalities, and Pi Xiaoluo didn’t smile: “The Queen Mother said so much.”
She followed Gu Rujiu and went to the side hall of Jing’an Palace. The candlelight was bright in the hall, and the eunuch’s court girl stood up, but it was not as deserted as it used to be.
Thinking of this, she looked at Gu Rujiu who was walking in front. There was a queen who was favored by the emperor alone. With a sneer in her heart, she sat down for the first time under Gu Rujiu.
“Concubine Qian,” Gu Rujiu smiled. “You haven’t slept so late?”
Concubine Qian was surprised for a moment, seeing Gu Rujiu who was scattered casually behind her, and then touched the hairpin of her temple, and smiled: “As you get older, you feel light, and you can’t sleep with some noise.”
“This palace looks at Qian Qianfei in Yan Youfang, very young,” Gu Rujiu chuckled lightly. “Why talk about getting old now?”
“A woman like us, even if he is not old, his heart is old,” Mrs. Qian said silently for a moment, and smiled bitterly, “I don’t hide from the Queen Mother, I have been in the palace for more than ten years. Years old. It ’s just that you ’re not as blessed as I am. I have n’t always liked Xiandi. When it was late at night, I always dressed up seriously, thinking that maybe the emperor would n’t come to see me anytime. ”
Speaking of which, Mrs. Qian shook her head, and seemed to think it was meaningless to mention the things of the past: “These pasts are just a joke. It’s just that these habits have already been formed and can’t be changed.”
Gu Rujiu was silent for a moment and looked down at the teacup in his hand. “The past is over. Don’t miss the concubine too much.”
Toffee Qian laughed softly, as if mocking herself, as if taunting Gu Rujiu’s words.
At that time, she had a heart, but the emperor only wanted her to enter the palace because she thought her eight characters fit him. Her parents ignored her pleading for the future of the brothers, so she was sent to the palace.
She had been petting for more than half a year, and there was no happy news. Xiandi gradually tired of her, and fell in love with other concubines. She hated Emperor Xiandi and her parents, but for the family, she had to use all means to fix her pets. She could even let herself talk to Emperor Xiandi in her dreams.
But only she knew how disgusting the man was in her heart. Whenever she dreamed back at midnight, she couldn’t help crying wet pillow.
It is said that the noble girls in Beijing are good, but no matter how good these noble girls are, no matter how precious they are, they are better than those of the family. It was like she had eaten food since childhood, but before the interests of her brothers, she could only make a sacrifice.
“That’s why I said that the Queen Mother is a blessed person,” said Concubine Qian, staring at Gu Rujiu with her eyes, “The mother is better than us.”
This us, not only her, the concubine Sun, the empress, but also the women who were called into the palace and had not seen even the appearance of the first emperor.
Gu Rujiu felt a little panicked in her heart. She took a sip of tea and diverged from the topic: “Miss Qian Feifei, do you know who she mentioned in Sun Taifei’s mouth?”
Mrs. Qian lowered her eyelids and lowered her eyebrows: “The queen’s mother forgive her sins. I don’t know what dream Mrs. Sun had, so I don’t even know who he is.”
“It turned out to be the case. I thought Mrs. Qian knew that,” Gu Rujiu smiled, not seriously. “The palace heard that Lin Fei was crowned all over the world, and she was dancing all over the city. I wonder if Lin Fei is as beautiful as a rumor?”
Hearing the word “Lin Fei”, Mrs. Qian’s face remained unchanged. Gu Rujiu noticed that her hand hidden under her sleeve seemed to move.
“Why don’t the maiden mention this sinful concubine who cruelly killed the prince. If it weren’t for her, how could the empress dowager bear the pain of the bereavement.” Mrs. Qian said coldly.
“The past is past, what else can’t be mentioned?” Queen Mother Zhou came in from the outside and glanced at Queen Toffee. “When Ai’s family was immersed in the pain of bereavement and heard that Princess Lin was the murderer, Lin Fei was already killed by Emperor Xiandi, and the Ai Family wanted to ask her too late to ask a few words. ”
“Queen Empress Dowager.” After seeing Empress Zhou, Queen Qian quickly stood up and paid a respect to the respectful Empress Dowager.
Gu Rujiu stood up and helped the Empress Zhou to sit down at the position where she was sitting, and then she sat down first on the side of the empress, “Mom, it’s so rainy outside, why are you here?”
“When I heard that something happened to the Sun family, Ai’s family came over and looked at it,” Empress Zhou sighed at her. “They are all old men in the palace. Even in the palace, I can’t sleep well.”
“It’s my thinking,” Gu Rujiu smiled and brought a tea to the back of Mrs. Zhou. “I’ve asked someone to ask a doctor. Don’t worry.”
“You do things, I always feel at ease,” Empress Zhou smiled and turned to see Mrs. Qian still standing, and said, “Come on, sit down.”
“Thank Empress Dowager.” Queen Qian looked at the intimate manner between the Queen Mother and the Queen and sat down by words.
“Now all the affairs in the palace have been left to the queen to take care of, and the family of Ai is no longer worried. As elders, you should help the queen,” Empress Zhou said with a smile. “Otherwise the emperor will complain to the family at the time. Home won’t spare you. ”
“Don’t dare, don’t dare.” Princess Qian Qian laughed with her, but she was shocked in her heart. Is the queen mother warning them? Or is she suggesting that no matter what the queen does, the queen will not interfere?
The thought of the Queen said that she and Tai Fei would be sent to Lin’an Beipong Palace, and Qian Fei felt cold.
The queen mother did not want to have a conflict with the emperor, but also distressed the queen, so she could only give the power of the harem to the queen. I was afraid that even the power in her hands would be given to the queen. Empress Zhou has known the means of these years. If the queen has the support of the empress, is it not between her palms inside and outside the harem?
“The queen is smart and competent, and manages the harem very well. It is really difficult for me to wait for the mediocre generation.” Queen Toffee got up and greeted the empress and Gu Rujiu.
When she heard something like “confess”, Gu Rujiu didn’t show it on the face, but nodded with a smile.
After a while, Tai Yi finished the pulse to Tai Fei Sun and came to report the situation to the three people.
“I sue the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the concubine empress, and the concubine Sun into the body. In addition, they are frightened by thunder and hurt the gods.” At this time, the doctor only hated himself for his bad luck. When on duty, this kind of thing happened.
Sun Taifei was nagging about having ghosts, and it was not her job. Since the Queen Mother had said that Sun Taifei was evil, then that Sun Taifei could only suffer from cold wounds, and he couldn’t even say one thing she shouldn’t say.
“There is a great doctor,” Gu Rujiu said. “Come here and send the great doctor out.”
After a further salute in the house, the doctor turned around and retreated.
“Grandpa Bai, stay in step, stay in step,” Tai Yi arched his hand towards Bai Xian, “Xiaguan just go back.” He looked at the heavy rain outside, but he didn’t dare to let the emperor’s servant get the rain.
“Then you walk slowly,” Bai Xianchao said to the doctor, “Adult is a wise man, he will be able to win official prosperity, flying Huang Tengda, descendants of Fuze.”
Hearing the word “children”, Taiji stiffened his back and once again attacked Bai Xian, “Xie Bai Gong Gong Ji Yan, this palace must keep in mind.”
“Well.” Bai Xian nodded with satisfaction, watching the Taiji leave under the **** of the **** before turning back to the inner hall.
Stepping into Sun Taifei’s bedroom again, Gu Rujiu saw that Sun Taifei had taken medicine and fell asleep, but her complexion was still white, and she seemed to be sleeping unsteadily.
“Since the concubine Sun is intact, Ai’s family will go back.” Before Empress Zhou boarded the carriage and left, she patted Gu Rujiu’s hand. “You also went back to rest earlier, and it’s almost three changes soon.”
“Reassure your mother,” Gu Rujiu leaned to her ear and whispered, “The big deal is to get up tomorrow morning and later.”
“You,” Empress Zhou nodded her forehead with her index finger helplessly. “Fortunately, I became the daughter-in-law of Ai’s family. If you encounter a wicked mother-in-law, you can eat your bitterness.”
Gu Rujiu smiled and said: “So what I look like is what your mother-in-law is used to.”
“If it were just me, I wouldn’t get used to it,” the empress embarked on the carriage with a smile and turned to Gu Rujiu. “Go back quickly.”
Lest the emperor wait for a long time.
The rich concubine was there, but the Empress Zhou did not say this, but she was sure that she had not been there for a long time, and the emperor must not have fallen asleep at this moment.
“The relationship between the mother and the queen mother is really good,” said the queen lady when the queen mother left. “The mother and daughter are so blessed.”
“Chengtai Concubine’s Lady Yan said,” Gu Rujiu stood under the eaves, seeing that the rain outside seemed to be smaller, and said: “The palace should also go back.”
“Congratulations to the Queen Mother.” Toffee Qian blessed her politely.
Gu Rujiu returned with a salute, holding Qiu Luo’s hand into the carriage, and when the carriage turned around, she reached up and lifted the curtains, and saw that Mrs. Qian stood expressionless, like a puppet made of fine materials in the palace. , Exquisite and without vitality.
Jing’an Palace regained its silence again, and Sun Taifei, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, stared at the top of the tent, and rolled over to continue her deep sleep.
“He Ming, is the queen back?” Jin Yang heard the news from outside and sat up from the bed, asking He Ming who was staying outside.
“Your Majesty, it is just the Guards patrol passing by, and the Queen Mother has not yet returned.” He Ming whispered.
Jin Yang lay back on the quilt, realized that the quilt was not covered, and then pulled the quilt to the chin, then stared at the gauze in a daze.
After a little more than half an hour, there was another movement outside. He sat up again, and before he could speak to He Ming, he saw Gu Rujiu coming in from the door.
Jin Yang looked blankly, and suddenly a gust of wind blew her long hair to move with the wind, her sleeves and green silk were entwined, and there was an indescribable sense of charm.
“Chen Jun is not asleep yet?” Gu Rujiu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, flicking the hair on the cheek of Jin Yang’s cheek, bending down and kissing him on his face. “Wait for me, I changed my clothes.”
Stretching his hand to touch the place he had been kissed, Jin Yang lay down inside, letting out the warm place where he was asleep, and waiting for Gu Rujiu to lie in.
He took off his robe wetted by the rain, and even changed his lining, before walking to the dragon bed and lying down. The warm blanket made her breath out comfortably.
“What happened to Princess Sun?” Jin Yang put her in her arms and yawned with her eyes closed.
“What can there be, there are ghosts in my heart,” Gu Rujiu said sleepily against Jin Yang’s chest, “or pretend to be a ghost.”
Hearing the tiredness in her words, Jin Yang patted her on the back: “Sleep, what will you say tomorrow?”
“Well.” Gu Rujiu responded vaguely. After a while, Jin Yang heard a long breathing sound in his arms.
Stretching out his hands and carefully compacting the quilt on her back, Jin Yang also closed his eyes and went to sleep.
He Ming woke up as soon as the fish belly was white. After washing and washing, he led the **** to the outside of Zichen Hall. He heard a noise from inside and then he walked in.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw the emperor bowing and crawling down from the bed with bare feet. Seeing them come in, the emperor did not look at the image, but put his finger to his mouth and made a movement to make them quieter.
He Ming busy waved the **** behind him quietly, and then he saw the emperor put down the bed, hiding the queen’s sleeping face behind the bed.
The emperor’s venerable king shouted like a thief, and finally wore socks and carried his shoes out of the inner room.
“People who call Zichen Hall to serve are careful not to disturb the queen’s rest,” Jin Yang blinked some dry eyes, and said to He Ming, “You stay and wait.”
“Yes.” He Ming bowed and saw that the emperor was riding on the imperial court before slowly standing upright.
His apprentice He Fu leaned in front of him and whispered, “Master, your majesty is really good to the queen maid. Those folk couples are not as good as your majesty.”
“Shut up, who gave your courage to discuss the private affairs of your majesty and the empress queen, don’t kill yourself ?!” He Ming sinked his face and scolded, “Go down and get five boards, don’t say that our master has not taught you in the palace The most important thing for the **** serving here is to be tight and loyal. If you ca n’t even do this, do n’t be our apprentice. ”
“The apprentice forgets his appearance for a moment, so don’t be annoyed by the master,” He Fu was also frightened with cold sweat, and he didn’t have to urge him, even when he went to Shen Xingsi to lead the board.
He Ming looked at the other court people around and lowered his voice and said, “You are all careful. If you quarrel with the queen, you don’t have to wait in Zichen Hall.”
The court attendants were silent and did not dare to make a sound.
Seeing that, He Ming nodded with satisfaction, and then walked out of the hall. He stood on the jade steps and watched Chaoyang rise from the east, but his mind remembered what Qilian said in prison.
Is it true or false that the emperor treats the queen?
If a person can do the trick at this point, even if the pretense becomes real?
He Ming remembered how the queen was talking to the emperor with a smile, but couldn’t help but shook her head, sincerely or pretendedly, this was not a question he should consider.
In Yang Guogong’s mansion, Mrs. Yang looked at the rosters of the ladies in the capital and sighed at the end. She said to the little girl next to her, “The women above are all good, and I don’t know which girl to marry.”
Mrs. Hu smiled and said, “This kind of thing still needs to be looked at by the child himself. After all, it is a person who wants to spend a lifetime together. If he is not satisfied with himself, wouldn’t he become a spouse in the end?”
“I also know the reason, but …” Mrs. Yang sighed and grinned reluctantly, “The boy, Chui Wen, has not been in good spirits lately, how can he read these rosters.”
She knows that her child likes the second Gu girl, but how can marriage be demanded? What’s more, now that Miss Gu Er has become a queen, I heard that Her Majesty is loved by her majesty, and their Yang family can not only mention the second girl Gu, but can’t even think about it.
Mrs. Hu knew why Mrs. Yang was worried, but the matter involved the queen. She could only pretend not to know: “Chui Wen is still young, and she will be fine when she has a girl she likes.”
“I hope so.” Mrs. Yang smiled bitterly. If she knew that this would happen, she shouldn’t have asked her younger aunt to help their family to raise relatives. If this hadn’t happened, Dr. Wen wouldn’t have so many delusions.
Aunt-in-law was talking, and Yang Yangwen came in. When Mrs. Hu saw her nephew, she seemed to have reduced her energy, but she was still in good spirits.
“Have seen my mother, aunt,” Yang Cuiwen entered the door and saluted the two first.
“Chuiwen is here, sit down.” Mrs. Yang let Yang Chuiwen sit down with a smile on her face, and then said, “I’m talking to your aunt about your relatives …”
“Mother and son are planning to take part in the imperial examinations of the imperial court next spring, so I have no intention to consider this matter.” Yang Chuiwen said to Mrs. Yang, “I hope my mother can understand his son.”
“Chui Wen, this is not my understanding or understanding, but whether the royal family can forgive us,” Mrs. Yang said helplessly, “If you don’t get married in one day, the matter that we asked the Gu family for marriage would become the emperor’s heart. Infinite, full of ambition, don’t affect your future for this matter. ”
Mrs. Yang knew that the royal family must have known that the Yang family had asked the Gu family for a kiss, otherwise how would the emperor let the younger aunt be this matchmaker.
After listening to Mrs. Yang’s words, Yang Cuiwen sat silently without saying a word.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Yang was anxious and angry, and turned to look at Mrs. Hu, hoping she could help her enlighten her.
“Chui Wen, my aunt said a few words to you, don’t you think that your aunt is troublesome,” Mrs. Hu also distressed this nephew very much. Seeing him like this, why would he sit there irrelevantly? He opened the door: “I closed the door today, and I’m not afraid of others hearing. You and the person have only met a few times, how can you remember to hang up?”
“Auntie,” Yang Cuiwen smiled bitterly, “How can it be just a few sides, I can see her in many meetings in Beijing in the past.”
“You!” Mrs. Hu looked at him in surprise, and said for a while: “How could this be?”
“When she laughed, she was particularly beautiful. As long as she saw her two shallow dimples, I had nothing to worry about,” Yang Cuiwen lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “Since she was 13 years old, I have Thinking about how to marry her home, how to treat her well, how to get along with her, and let her live a comfortable life. ”
“But why didn’t you say it earlier,” Mrs. Hu looked at her nephew distressedly, “If you spoke earlier, maybe … maybe …”
Maybe something, Mrs. Hu can’t go on.
“At that time, Gu’s daughter was distressed, and even the Li family refused to marry him. How could I speak well?” Let her get married. ”
It’s a pity that he has no fate with her. I’m afraid that by now, she can’t even remember her name.
He regretted that if the concubine came out of the Taihe Beyond Palace after the empress dowager, he could always be by Gu girl’s carriage, maybe the delusion in his heart would come true.
But where did you know this early?
Now that she is a virtue, she will soon become a vassal, and he has no less thoughts, but can only be buried in the heart.
Seeing the worry and anxiety in the eyes of her mother, Yang Cuiwen got up and said to Mrs. Yang: “Mother is at ease, son knows what to do, don’t worry.”
His eyes fell on the roster in the hands of Mrs. Yang, and he said after a moment of silence: “The son’s marriage, please ask the mother to be more attentive.”
Seeing him finally figured out, Mrs. Yang smiled and nodded.
Yang Cuiwen smiled with his mouth closed, sat quietly on the chair, picked up the tea cup and looked at the flowers and plants outside the courtyard.
Summer has arrived, and even the early morning sun is exceptionally brilliant.
Mrs. Hu looked at her sister-in-law, and then looked at her nephew with a calm expression, opened her mouth, and finally turned into a sigh.
Whether this is really figured out or to reassure parents, this can only be the case.
The past cannot be pursued, so it is enough.
