Going from Xiliu Palace to Cining Palace, the road gets quieter and quieter. There are almost no people here. If it were anywhere else, it would be a bit desolate.
But every plant and plant in the Cining Palace was treated with the same care as when the Empress Dowager was alive. Just now, Concubine De was worried about whether someone would sweep the fallen leaves, but she just said it casually to coax the children to follow her.
"It's good luck for Concubine De, and good luck for Si Fu Jin." A steward from Cining Palace came to salute, and Concubine De said kindly, "I'm bringing Si Fu Jin to burn incense sticks. You don't have to wait on me, and we won't wander around."
In this way, Yuxi followed E Niang and devoutly went to the Buddhist hall to offer incense and worship the Buddha.
This place is pure and peaceful, which can soothe the impetuousness of the world. When Yuxi walked out of the Buddhist hall, she felt much more at peace in her heart.
"Yuxi, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, mother-in-law, I've made you worry again."
Concubine De smiled gently and said: "You are the daughter of a high-ranking noble. You have been in the spotlight since you were a minor. Although you have received a strict upbringing, you have to learn rules and study, and you are not comfortable and unrestrained. But in the end, the people around you follow you.
I coaxed you, now that you have grown up and gone out on your own, you cannot tolerate cynicism for a while, this is human nature."
Yu Xi lowered his eyes: "But I can't, I can't get through it..."
Concubine De smiled and said: "If I wasn't here just now, you would have taken another way out of the palace. Maybe you would have forgotten before you left the Forbidden City. Concubine Yi said that her daughter-in-law has nothing to do with you and she didn't know that you were passing by. But...
Mom is here, and now that you have support in your heart, you can put all your emotions on your face, right?"
Yuxi smiled shyly and said softly: "It's like this."
Concubine De said: "When Eniang was still a palace maid by Bu Guiren, there was a very vicious old nanny in Zhongcui Palace. She scolded and beat us all the time. Bu Guiren was weak and young. She couldn't subdue that nanny, so she just
Can we be wronged?"
"Eniang..."
"I think Yinzhen often said to you, E Niang doesn't care about what outsiders say, but why don't I care? It's just that when I was young, I heard all the bad words and saw the harshness of the world. Human beings are just like this. I don't have the ability to reach heaven.
, let alone a huge mind, I just don’t want to torture myself with other people’s malice, it’s not worth it.”
Yu Xi's eyes were red and she whispered: "Mother, it's not that the words Yi Fei said to Wu Fujin made me sad. I envy Da Fujin, I envy the elder brother's devotion to her, and I envy them as a couple."
"Silly boy..." Concubine De couldn't help laughing.
Yuxi said frankly: "It would be great if there were only Yinzhen and me in the family, but the reason why there are them is because I can't have children, so I am even more sad."
Concubine De said lovingly: "It will be fine, good boy, everything will be fine."
Yuxi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "I listen to my mother-in-law."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law comforted each other, and then left Cining Palace. Concubine De sent her daughter-in-law out in person. However, she saw Sanfujin coming in a hurry under the Shenwu Gate, but she had already gone to the East Sixth Palace and did not see her.
Yuxi and his party.
"Eniang, was it Concubine Rong who called Sanfujin here?"
"Maybe, maybe she was delayed by something."
Speaking of which, Concubine Decai used Yuxi as an excuse to explain why she arrived late to congratulate her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had agreed before entering the house, and Yuxi even changed into the palace robe that her mother-in-law wore when she was young.
She had always behaved politely, so how could she be in a relationship with the palace maid serving tea? The reason why she was late was because the Queen Mother had asked Concubine De to do something, but her mother did not want to make it public.
It is unknown why Sanfujin came late at this moment, but Concubine Rong must have another headache. Concubine De said that she would return to Yonghe Palace early, and Concubine Rong would talk to her about her daughter-in-law later.
After watching her mother-in-law leave, Yu Xi followed the rules and left the Shenwu Gate. Before boarding the carriage, he saw the carriage and horses of the third elder brother's family. They were large and gorgeous. They were not purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the prince. They seemed to have been purchased by his own family.
"It was sent by San Fujin's mother's family." Qinglian guessed what Si Fujin was curious about, and said after getting in the car, "I just bought a new carriage a while ago, and three horses were given as a gift. Even the fodder for the horses was sent to San Fujin from time to time.
Send it to my brother’s house.”
Yu Xi smiled and said: "It is a good thing for my mother's family to treat their daughter and son-in-law well, but Sanfujin is so flamboyant that it will make people jealous. I will go to the emperor and read a copy. How can I do it?"
Qinglian was pleased with the prudence of her family, Fujin, and sighed at her third elder brother's family: "Concubine Rong is the longest-serving concubine in this palace. Over the years, even the three queens have treated her with great respect, and she is low-key and restrained.
They abide by their duties, and the second princess and the third elder brother have been well-educated. Who would have thought that a daughter-in-law would be here, but she would be a domineering master who is not afraid of anything. You said things in this world are really unpredictable."
Yu Xi thought in her mind, from the Da Fu Jin, the Crown Princess, to the Third Fu Jin, the Fifth Fu Jin, and the Seven Fu Jin and the Eighth Fu Jin who were about to enter. She thought unconsciously: "Am I really just the one chosen by the Queen?"
Qinglian didn't hear clearly and asked: "What did you say?"
Yu Xi smiled and said: "Everyone says that I was chosen by the Queen, but I feel that it was the Queen who nodded first."
Qinglian couldn't help but laugh: "I'm sorry for your arrogance. I occasionally hear Fujin say a few words like this, and I feel sorry for you when you are still young. You are still a child."
Yuxi felt a little embarrassed: "Does this sound silly?"
Qinglian said: "Of course, the Emperor nodded, and the Queen could choose you. But you were still young at that time, and your temperament and talents were unknown. What matters most is your family background. What do you think?"
"It still looks good."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Both the master and the servant laughed, and the carriage and horses headed home all the way, but with these few words, Yu Xi figured out one thing.
As expected, everything about the Emperor's brother is in Long live's hands.
Today, it was announced that the Seventh and Eighth Fortunes selected by the Queen Mother were obviously chosen by the Emperor a long time ago, and they were not chosen casually. From the eldest son to the youngest sons, the personality and ability of each of them was evident to Emperor Ama.
He saw clearly and chose wives for each of his sons based on his expectations.
Yuxi didn't dare to think about whether Huang Eniang's "ambition" had ever been approved by Huang Amma. Such words were a serious crime of treason and disloyalty. But since the couple listened to Huang Eniang's words,
Then, as long as Yinzhen wants to fight for it, she will firmly accompany her husband on this path.
That night, after Yinzhen returned home, the young couple teased and missed Tong for a while, then sat across from each other to have dinner.
Talking about the affairs in the palace, Yuxi sighed with emotion at Concubine Yi's temper. She really admired her.
But Yinzhen smiled and said: "Actually, there really needs to be such a queen in the palace. They have been in the Forbidden City for half their lives. No matter how big the imperial city is, walking around is always under the high wall, and the life is very boring.
There is someone as bright and conspicuous as Lady Yifei, and it makes you angry when you look at her. Lady Yifei has her own way of living."
It happened that at this time, a servant reported outside the door that Song Gege was ill and had a fever.
Yuxi looked at her husband. Yinzhen already frowned and said without hesitation: "Our family doesn't need someone like that, and I'm not an imperial doctor. What should I do?"
Yu Xi smiled helplessly and ordered: "Tell Song Gege to take care of yourself. She is ill. According to the rules, the fourth elder brother is not allowed to visit her. When she recovers, the fourth elder brother will go to see her again."
But Yinzhen stopped her and said, "I left out the word 'follow the rules' and said I would go after she gets better."
Only then did Yuxi remember that when she had a headache and a fever, Yinzhen had always been by her side, fully clothed. There were rules, but he never cared. This chapter has been completed!
