Chapter 5 The Old Ones Come (Part 2)
Fangruo nodded and said, "My wife is a very sensible person. She should also know that the Empress Dowager has lived in seclusion in the palace for many years without asking about worldly affairs. She is also sick and difficult, but she is not confused. www. The Empress Dowager is helpless, and she can only understand but cannot interfere, not to mention that she is involved in the previous dynasty." Fangruo's expression froze slightly, and she said helplessly: "For the past month, the emperor is still angry and cannot mention others to mention his wife. That day, in the Yunzhao Palace of Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing accompanied the emperor to speak, but by chance
He praised the emperor that Emperor Longyue looked like his wife, and the emperor became arrogant and even smashed the tea bowl, accusing Concubine Jing of having ulterior motives and proposing a criminal woman. The lady also knew that the emperor's temper and casual affairs were not easily angry, which shows that he was really angry. At that time, the servants were serving him, and they were almost shocked and dared to clean up the broken porcelain pieces of the tea bowl. The emperor always treated Concubine Jing with politeness and respect, but never said Concubine Jing in such a heavy word. Concubine Jing was also scared at that time. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time and knew that he kowtowed and confessed his guilt."
When I was anxious, the weather in November, my vest was almost sweating. If something happened to Concubine Jing, my Lu Yue Ben was really no one to protect me. Thinking of this, my expression changed immediately and I hurriedly asked, "What?"
Fang Ruo hurriedly comforted: "My wife, don't be anxious. Queen Jing has a good position and prestige. The emperor scolded a few words and fined her two months of monthly salary. Then she didn't talk to Queen Jing for several days. Even so, the emperor went to see it every day. As the saying goes, "When you meet, you have three points of affection." Queen Jing also knew how to please the emperor, and gradually became peaceful."
I breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt something was wrong, and asked in detail: "Concubine Jing is not such a reckless person. How could he mention me easily in front of the emperor? Who else was there at that time?"
Fang Ruo knew that he could not hide it, so he could only say, "At that time, the young master Qi was there. It was because the young master Qi said, 'The children's family looked very much like their parents', and the emperor didn't say anything at that time. Perhaps it was Empress Jing who wanted to arouse some old feelings for the emperor for his wife, so after saying this, the emperor immediately started to get angry."
I thought to myself that there have not been many people who have been eyeing Concubine Jing over the years, and she is almost indifferent to the world. Later, when Concubine Hua died, Concubine Jing firmly sat in the position of second-rank concubine. She has been resting for more days, so she is inevitably too careless about other people's words. Thinking of this, she is worried.
Seeing that I was frowning, Fangruo knew what I was worried about, so he hurriedly said, "With the Minhui of Concubine Jing, she has been in the palace for many years. It would be over if others could let her do it once, so I can't take advantage of her again. So please don't worry about it. Concubine Jing must be able to protect the Emperor. Moreover, Concubine Jing did not fall out of favor this time, which was also due to the Emperor. Concubine Jing is a person who understands the most. Of course, he knows to refer to the Emperor and protect each other, so he will not be careless about the Emperor."
I felt a little relieved and smiled and said, "It's true that I'm too nervous and told my aunt to laugh. I feel at ease with Empress Jing's experience and calmness."
Fangruo pondered slightly, her smile faintly feeling unbearable: "What's more, Concubine Jing is in a high position, but she has never had children."
I felt like a mirror in my heart, and I felt a hint of inexplicable relief for Concubine Jing's sighs, "Because she has no children, she will treat my Yueyue well and treat her like a pearl or a treasure. Just like Concubine Duan treats Emperor Wenyi."
"It's like a lifeblood, and loves it as much as your own eyes." Fangruo said affirmatively.
I was slightly melancholy, like the autumn wind blowing through the curtain, with falling leaves rustling. "But the emperor is often at the place of Concubine Jing. If Concubine Jing will give birth to something tomorrow, my moon will inevitably be put down..."
Fang Ruojing said quietly, "Although the emperor often goes to the place of Queen Jing, he rarely spends the night. After all, Queen Jing is not the most beautiful, and there are An Fenyi and Qipin and others, which one is better to meet. What's more, Queen Jing lived with the former Concubine Hua before Shuyi." Fang Ruo's tone was meaningful and strange. Her always kind eyes had a gloomy and sympathetic sad background, "She will not have children again."
I was shocked and understood in a flash. "Huan Yixiang?" I was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, I sighed: "The city gate caught fire, which affected the pond fish. How innocent is the pond fish! Does Concubine Jing know?"
Fangruo shook her head, "I don't know. The imperial physician only said that Concubine Jing's body is not suitable for pregnancy. Concubine Jing has been kept in the dark and planned to take the risk of having children, but her body has been damaged. Why can she be pregnant if she is willing to take the risk? After all, it can't be done, so she can only leave it alone." Fangruo's eyes flashed with a wet shimmer, and she felt very regretful, "Concubine Jing is a good person, but it's a pity that she is poor and has been implicated. Concubine Jing was still a fourth-ranked person that day.
Rong Hua was not ranked third, so he naturally could not open the palace to take charge of the affairs, so he lived with the favored concubine Hua. His wife knew how powerful Huan Yixiang was. At that time, Feng Ronghua's Concubine Jing lived with Huan Guipin and served her day and night, so naturally she could not avoid Huan Yixiang." Fang Ruoste calmed his expression and said compassionately: "Otherwise, although Jingfei is good, there are so many concubines in the palace, and they all fight for favor. How could the emperor always give her a high position and often visit her?"
The sadness in my heart suddenly became unspeakable. How pitiful Concubine Jing was. At that time, there were so many concubines living in the same palace with Concubine Hua, and it was not just Jing Fei who was implicated. I asked, "So who was involved in living with Concubine Hua that day?"
Fangruo pondered for a moment, "Only Concubine Jing." Seeing that I was puzzled, she said, "Concubine Hua is not a fool. Although Concubine Hua is favored, she is not exclusive. Among these people, Concubine Jing is still very favored. After Concubine Hua was miscarried, she was annoyed when she saw others, so she moved several young masters who were living with him. However, she was afraid that the emperor would rekindle his old love for Concubine Jing at this time, so she simply reported to the queen and moved Concubine Jing to her own Mixiu Palace, which was also under her nose. At that time, Concubine Hua was favored, and even the emperor did not easily disobey her intentions. Even the Empress went to personally persuade Concubine Hua was tough and only Concubine Jing could get along with him, so Concubine Jing had to go."
My eyelids hopped up and my heart suddenly became cold. The queen knew Huanyixiang's medicinal power! I was shocked, "How long have you lived?"
"It will be one year." Fang Ruo's eyelids drooped slightly, "I know the character of Concubine Hua. Concubine Jing suffered a lot of humiliation and grievances when she lived in her palace that day. It was not until a year later that Hua Guipin was promoted to Concubine Hua, and Concubine Jing was promoted from Concubine Jie to Concubine Guipin and lived in another hall, so she escaped. But her body was damaged."
My heart beats suddenly, and the joy is fragrant, and the joy is fragrant! Every time I think, the anger and sadness of Hua Fei before her death are still vivid in my mind. She died for Hua Yixiang's secret. The blood on the wall was like a tree of bright peach blossoms blooming, which shocked me in countless nights when I could not dream.
Fang Ruo remained silent and said softly: "There is nowhere to be found in Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing. Concubine Murong Hua did a lot of evil in the past!"
I almost blurted out my throat - Concubine Hua naturally committed a lot of evil, but what about her? She clearly knew the efficacy of Huanyixiang, so she asked Concubine Jing to Mi Xiu Palace. Since then, she has been treating Concubine Jing so politely, as if everything has never been stained with blood on her hands, and she just smiles coldly and watches.
No wonder, even if Concubine Jing was granted the title of concubine and assisted in the six palaces, she was very favored, and the queen could be so calm and unwilling to care. In addition to Concubine Jing being smart and not likes to be arrogant, it was because she knew that Concubine Jing, who was not fertile, was not considered her rival at all.
My cold sweat swelled on my vest, as if the foot of a bug was touching my skin itchy and thorny, almost tingling.
Fangruo's voice became more and more gentle and firm, and he pressed me firmly, "My wife, please remember that it was Hua's crime, and only Hua's crime was committed, and it had nothing to do with others."
Cold sweat stuck to my hair. The queen's scheming was so deep that I could hardly compete with it. She was as smart as Concubine Jing, and was also kept in the dark. From the fact that she easily forced me to such a state with a piece of Queen Chunyuan's old clothes, her cleverness and scheming showed that... the fear in her heart was falling heavily, as if a heavy lead block fell in her stomach, which made people feel painful.
I suddenly remembered someone, "So, can Concubine Duan know..."
Fangruo pondered slightly and said for a moment: "Not necessarily." She thought about it, "Even if she knew that it was not up to me, she would know but not speak out with her cold personality."
The fear in my heart firmly controlled me, my Longyue, my Longyue, what if the queen had murderous intentions towards her... no... I can't imagine it.
My face must be terrible pale, and my eyes were shrill and hopeless. Jinxi unconsciously supported me and said softly: "Madam..."
I barely calmed down, but how could I calm down... Longyue, my only child...
Fangruo grabbed my hand and tried his best, "Don't worry, Madam, the emperor's concubine will not be a problem, there is Empress Jing and Shen Jieyu. Empress Jing's popularity is good, and now she often takes the emperor to the empress dowager to ask questions. Because they both raise the emperor, they are quite friendly with Empress Duan." She said softly: "I offend these words not to make my wife sad and anxious. But to make her understand that she should not act rashly. Now this
At the critical moment, although the wife was expelled from the palace, there was no reason to return to the palace. But there were many people who were worried about the wife, such as the Queen Mother and Shen Jieyu, and there were other people. These women must understand. The Queen Mother must be back to protect the wife, but the wife must also be clear. If the wife only wants to take revenge or something else, then the Emperor Princess will be the first to be the Emperor Princess. Since the wife wants to protect the Emperor Princess with all her strength, the Emperor Princess is destined to be the restraint of the wife."
Her words were very gentle, but the interests were related, and they were very clear and clear. I held Fangruo's hand and held her hand involuntarily. My heart was empty, as if everything had been hollowed out, just trying to grasp something real. I held Fangruo's hand tightly, and my knuckles turned white and I didn't feel sore at all.
If Fang thought it was painful, she did not say anything. She just patted the back of my hand gently and said to herself: "My wife is the most heartbreaking thing. That day, I was the one who taught her and personally served her into the palace. Seeing that her wife was favored and ups and downs in the palace, sooner or later she would have the hope of being the four concubines. But suddenly, she was rushed to Ganlu Temple to practice. She had no hope for her in her life. I don't know how much she had secretly flowed.
Tears. Now that I have served the Empress Dowager again, I have to try my best to see what can help my wife, which is also a little bit of my heart to serve her." Her voice was low, "The body of the young lady of Zhen family and the young master, Lord Wen and Shen Jieyu have already found a way to raise money to bury her. No matter how sad the wife is, one is that the person cannot be resurrected, and the other is that the wife's family is already separated by one and has their own destiny."
Thinking of the tragic death of my sister-in-law and Zhining, my heart was in an instant. It was like a sharp steel needle stabbed into the already festering wound. It was so deep that I saw dark red blood rolling out.
An Lingrong!
I was so angry that I almost vomited blood!
Her eyes pressed me down, "The times are uncontrollable! No matter how unwilling my wife is, she must be willing - not for herself!" Her eyes that were as if they were watching the fire had a dark forbearance. "Although Master Zhen and Mr. Zhen were far away from her, they were also in the place of Ansheng - and at present, only the people in front of her are the most important!"
I bit my lower lip, and the smell of blood on my lips was completely unaware of it. I felt a liquid slid onto the lapel of my clothes, one drop after another, the fishy and hot, falling on the dark gray robe like scarlet flowers, silent and soft. Jinxi hurriedly took the silk to wipe it for me. I waved her to not use it.
After a long time, maybe after a long time, I raised my hand and wiped the blood from my lips as if nothing had happened. My voice was unexpectedly hoarse, and said, "Okay. It's all for Longyue, and for those who are still alive. I promise you that even if I hate anyone, I hate it so much that I cut my bones, I won't act rashly." I cleared my throat, "Auntie knows my temperament and will never do anything unsure."
Fangruo's smile stretched out in a slight way, relieved and appropriate. At this moment, except for her, even from the instructed by the Queen Mother, no one dared to come to me to say these heart-breaking words, and no one would say to me.
I tried hard to take a sip of tea to moisten my throat and said slowly: "I would also like to tell the Queen Mother that I will practice peacefully in Ganlu Temple. As for the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is willing to take care of it, it will be the blessing of the Queen Mother."
Fangruo was kind-hearted. As for the queen mother, it was just a deal. I exchanged my peace of mind for her careful care for Longyue, and I exchanged my peace of mind for the queen and the others' peace of mind.
Fang Ruo's voice calmly heard: "In fact, the identity of my wife is now the best guarantee. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the king has left the palace to practice, in addition to you, there are also the former concubines, Concubine Yang Shu and others, who have been in high positions, and they all have no reason to return to the palace except for the old age and death palace, let alone some other unknown concubines. Therefore, my wife must have lived here in this life. She is also relieved of those who do not like to see her in the palace. When the time goes by, things will slowly pass, and they will be better. After all, to be honest, there are endless troubles in the palace, so who has the heart to keep looking at her?"
I didn't say anything, just said, "Yes."
After Fangruo finished speaking, she smiled and opened a bunch of soft silk bundles of flowers and said, "My wife, look at this, can you see, are you good?"
But it was a baby clothes of the same color, including clothes, pants, socks, scarves, bellybands, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all of which were available. My eyes were hot and I choked and said, "Is this my clothes of Longyue..."
Fang Ruo nodded with a smile, "That's right. In two days, the day of the imperial concubine's full moon. The emperor said that he would do it well. These clothes were rewarded to the imperial concubine."
My heart was sore and hot, as if I suddenly drank a sip of hot soup. As for the accumulation of the throat, my lungs were filled with spicy soreness.
My moon is about to be full in two days. I, a mother, have never seen her since she was born.
Jinxi said "ah" and picked up her clothes and said, "The material is very good, I'm afraid it's the material that has been newly tributed by Jiangning and Shuzhong."
Fang Ruo praised: "Jinxi has good eyesight. This summer clothes are soft silks from Jiangning, which are the most close-fitting and sweat-absorbing. They are breathable and cool in summer. The winter clothes are the bright light brocade in Shu, with bright colors and fresh patterns, which are generous and beautiful. The emperor also specially instructed that the inner part of the clothes must be made of simple brocade so that they will not hurt the delicate skin of the emperor. Anyway, the emperor's intention is to do whatever he wants, which makes the Interior Office rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and wishes to take out all the good things."
I couldn't help but touch these clothes. The soft texture of the material was soft and the tentacles felt soft and appropriate. The small clothes, shoes and socks were all small and not enough to hold. Rose purple, water red, bean sprouts green, shining yellow, grape green, sapphire blue, gold-woven makeup flowers were all beautiful and exquisite.
Fang Ruo smiled and said, "Because the emperor had something to say first, who was the queen in the palace who refused to flatter him? The long-lived golden locks, Ruyi Yuanbao, were piled up like mountains, and the concubine Jing said that she couldn't bear it. Concubine Xin also told a joke, saying that Concubine Jing had benefited from the imperial concubine and made a fortune."
Jinxi smiled and said, "No wonder Concubine Xin wanted to say this. At that time, Shu and Emperor Mei Mon Yue were suppressed by Concubine Hua, so cold and deserted. Even Emperor Wen Yi was just following the rules at that time. It really was a good idea to our Emperor Mei Mon Yue."
I was tracing the clothes that were about to wrap my children, feeling kind and alienated. As her biological mother, I was not as close to her as these clothes and hugged her. I turned around and carefully wiped away the tears that were about to flow out of the corners of my eyes, and sighed softly: "I am a mother-in-law, I don't have anything to give to my child a full month."
Seeing that I was sad, Jinxi hurriedly comforted her: "What are you saying? You are the biological mother of Emperor Ji. Your love for your daughter is the best and most rare. If Emperor Ji knew that you were concerned about her like this, she would definitely be very happy."
I felt aroused and couldn't help but sigh, "What should I do for nothing? It's better to have her father treat her like this. I have to tell the truth. No matter how strict the emperor treats me, it's really great to treat Longyue." I said again, "Thank you to the Queen Mother for me, please trouble her so much, and ask you to show me these things, so that I can feel relieved when I know that the emperor loves the princess very much."
Fangruo smiled knowingly: "Since the Empress Dowager's painstaking efforts have been realized, I will tell the Empress Dowager truthfully when I go back." She turned her head slightly and suddenly said: "Does the lady still write now?"
I couldn't understand for a moment and said, "What?"
Fang Ruo smiled and said, "In the past, the lady copied Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager. The empress dowager always said that the wife's calligraphy was very good and she wrote a lot. She was very clear and comfortable when reading the scriptures. She only said that the wife's calligraphy was still a bit too hot. Now that the wife is practicing in Ganlu Temple, it is better to copy Buddhist scriptures for the empress dowager again, just use calligraphy to pass the time. I will come to Ganlu Temple once a month to take away Buddhist scriptures. Please ask the wife to copy Buddhist scriptures for the empress dowager every month to pray for blessings." After that, she looked at me deeply and said, "The Empress Dowager said that it is necessary that the wife copied the blessings by herself, otherwise she will not count them."
There are so many Buddhist scriptures in the palace, why bother to come to Ganlu Temple from afar to get it from me?
However, after a moment of thinking, I understood it. So I was deeply blessed and said, "Please thank me for my concern. Mo Fallen must do my best to copy Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager and pray for God's blessings for the Empress Dowager."
Fang Ruo smiled knowingly, and stood up and smiled, "It's good that my wife understands it. It's not too early, and I'm going back to report my life."
I stood up and gave in and said, "I'll take my aunt out."
There were a few good sisters gathered outside the door, and they were looking at it. Fang Ruo saw that there were many people, so he stopped and said, "Madam, please come back, it's cold outside." She deliberately raised her voice and said, "The slaves whom the Empress Dowager asked her to copy the Buddhist scriptures every month, so I asked her to copy them with all her heart for the Empress Dowager."
I knew she was telling her to those sisters to avoid any bullying and grievances. I hurriedly let her go with a smile, and when she saw her leaving, she went back with peace of mind.
Chapter completed!
