In the winter of the 15th year of Yuanping, the war in the northwest had just ended. The Sacred Heart was overjoyed by the successive good news, and generously rewarded the former harem. For several days, the entire imperial city was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

There was a charcoal fire in Changxin Palace, and a kang table was placed across the kang in the pavilion. The imperial concubine and Aunt Yu were sitting opposite each other. The former was embroidering flowers with her eyes downcast, while the latter was cutting clothes across the kang table.

"The person who was turned over last night was the talented man Lan from Yonghe Palace. He has been favored for three days in a row. This has never happened in recent years. Rumors are spreading in the palace, and the harem is afraid that

She's about to become a beloved concubine

." Mammy Yu chatted like a family, "Speaking of the new beautiful girls, Lancai is not the most outstanding in appearance, but she is the only one who comes out on top and is the most favored. From this point of view, this

You really have to look at your luck."

Imperial Concubine Wen Yin was wearing a brocade dress with a curling pattern, leaning on a soft pillow to embroider. Her dark blue silk hair was loosely tied with a half-old gold hairpin. Occasionally, loose hair would brush her cheeks, and she would pick it up and tuck it behind her ears.

"I'm afraid the people in the palace won't be able to sit still."

"No." Mammy Yu lowered her voice slightly: "As for Concubine Zhuang in the main hall of Yonghe Palace, I heard that she established rules for Lan Cairen this morning, but Lan Cairen is not someone who can take offense.

, he left in disgrace on the spot, which made Concubine Zhuang very angry."

Wen Yin's hand holding the thin needle paused for a moment and then said: "It has only been three days, and I am already so proud of my favor." Her voice was always gentle and soft, and her words were always calm and gentle. She just said

These words were accompanied by some vague sighs.

Aunt Yu knew what she was about to say, so she couldn't help but sigh and add: "Yes, it's rare for her to meet such luck, but she can't figure it out clearly."

The reason why Concubine Zhuang dares to be tough on the new favorite of the Holy Emperor is because of the second prince she gave birth to, her family background, and her status. On the other hand, Lan Cairen, why does she dare to be tough on the head of the first palace? With the three-day inheritance

Favor? This is a pity. You must know that holy favor is always an illusory thing.

The people in the palace will never easily allow a beloved concubine to grow up. A talented person without a prominent family background and no heirs. If she does not have the extraordinary scheming to stand up quickly, then she is afraid of her ending.

It's predictable.

"Luck?" Wen Yin continued to hold the needle and thread through the flower shed. The colorful threads gradually formed into vivid patterns under the dexterity of her fingers. "It's really the luck of evil."

Mammy Yu's eyelids twitched. Although she had already sent her servants to guard outside so that no one dared to come in, she still subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door of Nuan Pavilion.

Wen Yin did not continue the topic and spent the rest of the time embroidering flowers seriously.

After a pattern was finished, she skillfully tied the thread into knots, took the flower scissors to cut off the thread ends, and raised it over the flower shed to look around several times.

"Come and see, grandma, my craft has improved a lot?"

Grandma Yu was cutting some clothes absentmindedly. When she heard this, she immediately came back to her senses and leaned across the kang table to take a look.

"As you work harder, your skills are becoming more and more outstanding!" Aunt Yu praised in admiration and sincerely said: "Look at this butterfly embroidery, it's just like the real thing. I'm even afraid of it when I bring it to the yard."

It’s flying.”

Wen Yin couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you trying to trick me again?"

Grandma Yu patted her thigh and said with a smile: "I can't even fool anyone, can I? You are the reincarnation of a fairy in the sky. If I dare to fool you, with just a little bit of your slender finger, I will have to be a fairy in my next life."

Chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, horses and mules are gone.”

The unexpected words made both of them laugh.

To put it into detail, this incident can be regarded as an old story. It was made up by Wen Yin when she was trying to avoid doing embroidery. I don’t know how many embroiderers were driven away by her at that time. The angry Mrs. Wen often hit the empress’s palms with a ruler.

.

"You are a stubborn person. No one can force you to do something you don't like." Seeing that the empress rarely showed a smile, Grandma Yu unconsciously started talking more: "I still remember that you refused to embroider.

Even if my hand is broken

Heart, you are unwilling to give in. When you make my wife very angry, you can still lower your body to coax her. When you make her smile, no matter how serious you are in telling her your truth, you will not make her angry in the end.

, neither is laughter.”

Wen Yin said: "Is what I said wrong? Since the embroiderer is here, why bother asking me to learn embroidery again? It's not worth the time and effort. It's better to save time and learn something else."

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is the most right." Grandma Yu nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "I still remember that Madam nodded at my forehead and asked you whether you would take the Embroiderer with you when you get married. I'm afraid.

I will always remember what the empress said all my life, she said just take grandma with you, she can embroider and tailor clothes."

Wen Yinsu touched the clothes that were being cut on the kang table: "Mommy is not good at cutting clothes. I'm not wrong."

"Yes, yes, in the end, madam, I have nothing to do with you, my wife. The letter... means that you will follow the young masters and learn the six arts of a gentleman."

The words at the end of the letter made Mammy confused.

Wen Yin's soft smile remained unchanged, and she continued to chat with Aunt Yu about home affairs.

When it was time for Wen Yin to take a nap, Aunt Yu quietly stepped out of the Nuan Pavilion and carefully lowered the felt curtain. The moment she came out, she couldn't help but glance in the direction of the empress with her peripheral vision.

The empress turned her face to look out the carved window. She did not apply makeup, her bones were slim and her soft facial contours were delicate and gentle, just like a painting.

The empress is now gentle and demure. She has always shown such a gentle appearance since she entered the palace. If the madam saw it, I don’t know whether she would be happy or sad. The madam once often laughed and called the empress a skinny monkey, and her beautiful appearance was blinded in vain.

He also said that in the future, I don’t know which young master lacked great virtue in his previous life, and he will marry this ancestor in this life.

Six years after entering the palace, the empress seemed to have changed into a different person, her temperament changed from active to silent and quiet.

It's extremely rare to have a smile on your face and talk more like I did just now.

After coming out of the Nuan Pavilion, Mammy Yu was not in a hurry to leave. She listened uneasily for a while outside. Her sparse eyebrows were tightened, and emotions such as annoyance and worry appeared on her face. She regretted that she had just made a mistake, and was afraid that the empress would be reminded of the unbearable things.

past.

The letter was originally written by my wife to the master who was an official in the capital. She originally wanted the master to come up with some ideas to deal with the empress’s temper. Unexpectedly, the master replied in the letter and said that it’s okay for those female celebrities not to learn, and the poems and etiquette of the literary family are passed down to the family.

, it would be good to give birth to a female son-in-law, so I asked the empress to learn the six arts of a gentleman.

Thinking of this, Grandma Yu's eyes, which were no longer young, were filled with bitterness.

Who could have imagined at that time that the master who loved his daughter like a servant would one day cruelly send his wife to die.

She remembered that after that incident passed, the empress said to her without sadness or joy - I don't know whether I should hate or whom I should hate. After all, in his life creed, faith is far away.

Higher than family affection...

"Mommy."

Aunt Yu came back to her senses with a jolt.

"What's the matter?" She looked sternly at the palace maid in front of her who spoke out. She lost all the kindness and kindness she had when she was in Nuan Pavilion, and turned back into the stern old lady Xu Heng.

The little palace maid was frightened by the other party's sharp eyes, she shrank and lowered her head, tightly gripping the tray in her hand.

"Mommy, I made some pear preserves. I want to wait for the queen to wake up and use them to clear her throat and moisturize her lungs..."

Under Mammy Yu's cold gaze, the little maid's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and her whole face turned red and white.

Aunt Yu really dislikes this palace maid named Nian Xia, probably because she has such a face. Ever since she entered the palace, she has been almost outside the entire palace, and she has not interacted with other palaces.

I only care about the affairs of the palace, but I made an exception for Nian Xia.

Nian Xia was at a loss. She didn't know where she had offended Aunt Yu, because she always looked at her with a look of disgust. She was originally from the Kang concubine's palace. She made a mistake that day and was whipped. She happened to be passing by.

The imperial concubine met her, rescued her from Concubine Kang, and took her back to Changxin Palace.

At this moment, Mammy Yu glanced at Nian Xia's lips and chin that seemed familiar to her, and her heart sank. That day, the empress broke the convention and interfered in the affairs of the harem, and she did not hesitate to offend a concubine who had an heir.

When she was rescued, her eyelids were twitching. Especially after she was brought back to Changxin Palace, she was given another name of Nian Xia... This made her even more uneasy.

"Do you understand the rules? There are special people who prepare the things that the Queen puts in her mouth. How can we allow people to bring them to you casually?" Aunt Yu looked away from her face and frowned at the preserved fruits in the small bowl on the tray, her expression getting darker.

He looked angry, then cast a stern look at Nian Chun on the other side, "Who allowed her to bring food here casually? She doesn't understand the rules, and you don't understand either?"

Nian Chun gave Nian Xia a hard look and came up to explain aggrievedly: "Mommy, I told her, but she insisted on bringing it. I was just about to report to grandma."

Nian Xia was stunned for a moment, then said anxiously: "No, didn't you say before..."

"Okay." Aunt Yu suddenly interrupted, "What are you yelling about? My Majesty is still taking a nap. Do you want to wake her up? All of you go out of the palace and stand under the eaves for two hours."

After the two palace maids both had red eyes and left, Grandma Yu sighed tiredly.

She knew everything about the lawsuit between them, except that the name change made Nian Chun feel resentful towards Nian Xia.

After the empress read Xia's name that day, she felt panicked. After that, she couldn't sit still or sleep peacefully for several days. She knew that the empress was in pain and couldn't bear to refute her thoughts, so she thought about it over and over again.

I came up with an idea and simply changed the names of the maids in the palace, starting with "Four Seasons" and ending with "Four Seasons".

The one who was most unconvinced was Hongying, Nianchun just now. She cried and went to her several times about changing her name, but she always had to reprimand her.

There is no need to discuss this matter. Although no one would think of anything without reason, the palace is full of human spirits. Who can dare to say what will happen in the future? What's more, there are royal guards in the palace, and the Holy Emperor's eyes and ears are everywhere. It's really disappointing.

People are scared to death.
