A visit to Fangchun

Chapter 245 Suspicious Empress Summoned

Yao Huang and Wei Zi covered their faces and wept as soon as they left the palace gate.

The old mama fought back with one mouthful each, and shouted in a low voice: "The inner courtyard of the palace, who gave you the courage to start crying? If you two think this road is too far away and you are not willing to go, I will have your mouth shut immediately." Block it up, tie up hands and feet, let people put it on a car and push it out, so I'm sure you don't have to work hard at all!"

The two of them had never seen this before, they quickly bit their lips, not daring to cry anymore, and followed the old mother tremblingly.

Mrs. Luo received the two girls, and was passed on by the old mother coldly to Concubine Yuan, and finally added: "These two servants of your mansion left the Chonghua Palace and opened their mouths to howl. A slap in the face. I also ask Mrs. Shi Lang not to wrongly use these two slap marks on our imperial concubine."

Mrs. Luo was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.As soon as the old mama walked away, she called someone to come back, and the two girls were beaten to the ground, bloody and bloody: "I told you to be girls for others, not to seduce men! Dress up! How can you feel at ease when you are like that?"

Recalling that Concubine Yuan also asked herself to give these two girls to her two sons as concubines, it was as disgusting as eating a fly.Shaking hands makes people: "Hit me hard!"

The confidant's daughter-in-law hurriedly came forward to persuade her in a low voice: "Her two families are still in useful business, Madam is merciful."

Mrs. Luo thought over and over again, and had to swallow her anger, and threw the two girls under the control of her parents: "When you enter the palace, you dare to dress up like a kiln girl, how do you teach the child? If you don't discipline well, I will sell her directly!"

Not to mention.

Here, Concubine Yuan asked Baochai to tell some historical allusions about "Brothers are united, and their interests break gold", and she laughed and asked Tanchun and Yingxi how the two were, and cared about Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun again, what the sisters said gossip.

The emperor came back to the imperial study after the morning court, when Gao Hong slipped in quietly, watching the unnoticed efforts of the elders and important ministers who were discussing affairs below, and quietly whispered in the emperor's ear: "The imperial concubine empress puts those two girls in the same room. Called in again."

The emperor's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Gao Hong.

Shoufu who was sitting below was very close, and heard the word "imperial concubine" in a daze, pulled his beard and grimaced, coughed displeasedly, and threatened, "Your Majesty, do you have something to do in the harem?"

This song assistant was the emperor's teacher in the past. The emperor has been afraid since he was a child until now. Hearing the sound of the words is wrong, he hastily put on a solemn expression and frowned: "What's the matter in the harem? It's all about the empress's business, I don't care."

Gao Hong bowed and stood motionless.

The first assistant gave Gao Hong a sideways look, after all, he still saved the emperor's face, turned his head and talked to others.

The emperor took time out and whispered in his ear: "Go over and have a look, just find any excuse and say a few words to listen."

Gao Hong understood, and quickly slipped out beside him quietly, explained to his apprentice Gao Li, and hurried to the Chonghua Palace where Concubine Yuan lived.

Unexpectedly, Chonghua Palace was quiet and quiet, Gao Hong was surprised, and asked the maid: "Where is the imperial concubine?"

The palace maid respectfully replied: "The empress heard that the two sisters of the imperial concubine are coming, so she invited them over to have some snacks."

Gao Hong's expression changed.

This stupid queen actually noticed what the imperial concubine and the emperor were thinking?

He quickly turned his head and ordered: "Let's go! Go to Kunning Palace."

The queen in the palace today is not the emperor's original spouse back then, but the original spouse's concubine sister.Empress Xian Xiaochun died because she was still a prince in the past to test the medicine.That poisoning case also overturned the former prince in one fell swoop.Although the final conclusion was that the first prince did not know about it, but that the first princess concubine did it together with her elder concubine, but everyone knew that it was deceitful.To kill a prince and prince with poison, how could the first princess do it without the first crown prince nodding his head?After all, the first prince was found out for a small mistake and was deposed, imprisoned until death.

Today, feeling grateful for the former princess, he married her only younger sister as the princess, and took care of the eldest son left by the former princess.After ascending the throne today, the first thing is to make the concubine Xiaochun Empress Xiaochun, the second thing is to make the eldest son the crown prince, and the third thing is to make this one the queen.

After taking the position in the middle palace, this one also calmed down, because he was injured in the early years and could not bear children, so now he treats the prince as his own and cherishes it very much.It made the emperor take pity on her three points.The concubines knew that as long as this person didn't do stupid things that angered people, he would definitely be insurmountable.Smarter concubines also understand that in the emperor's heart, she is just a "queen", so most of them are courteous and respectful.

Because the concubine Yuan did not gradually advance to the rank according to the usual order, but suddenly became a virtuous concubine directly from an ordinary female official, so the queen focused her eyes directly on the Chonghua Palace.

When these two girls came last time, the queen showed her hand, intending to frighten Concubine Yuan and make her be more honest.I also want all the girls in Jia's family to know how powerful she is, so don't keep thinking about entering the palace to seduce the Holy One.Unexpectedly, after a few months, these two people came again.

The Empress felt uncomfortable, so she ordered Madam Xu to come over and ask, "What's the matter with these two girls? You went to Jia's mansion, tell me."

Nanny Xu had told her several times before, but when the queen asked again, she had to say it again: "Among the girls of the Jia family, those two are ordinary people, only these three girls are considered outstanding. But because they are My aunt was born, and she was afraid of being bullied, so she spoke sharply and acted very sharply, and her temper was extremely tough. It can be heard that even her father dared to speak back in front of everyone."

"There are also two cousins, one is an orphan from the Lin family, her parents are dead, and she is extremely weak. There is also a Xue family who came to Beijing with her widowed mother and elder brother to be elected. It's delayed, but I haven't given her any news yet. The servant girl inquired, but it was Concubine Jia who asked someone to take care of her, saying that this younger sister has a root disease that has been with her since she was a child, and she is still being cured. She will hand over the sign when it is cured. This Miss Xue really wants to learn the rules of the palace from the slaves."

Xu Momo only said so far, then bowed her head and remained silent.

But the last sentence was enough to make the queen's impression of Xue Baochai drop to a freezing point, so they announced that they would meet together.

When Tanchun heard the summons, he knew that he might cause trouble again, so Baochai also frowned tightly.Only Concubine Yuan stood up with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Fortunately, I have finished dressing, otherwise I would have to wait a long time for the empress." Shi Shiran went to Kunning Palace with them.

When meeting the queen, it is natural to salute.

Baochai and Tanchun had been taught by the nuns in the palace anyway, and there was no mistake in saluting.

The empress just nodded, and waved her hands to give Concubine Yuan a seat, then looked closely at Baochai and Tanchun, and smiled at Madam Xu: "I really envy you, those few days in Rongguo Mansion, I just live in front of such a beauty every day!"

Tanchun hurriedly stood up again, Baochai didn't understand, but hurriedly stood up too, and heard Tanchun whisper softly: "Heaven's grace has allowed the imperial concubine to return to her natal home and return to the province. Missing heart. The empress loves the imperial concubine so much, and specially gave the senior female officials in the palace to teach the girls and sisters etiquette, which not only saved the face of the imperial concubine and the Han family, but also allowed the girls to sense the remoteness through you. The empress' empress is the mother of a country's favor. Everyone in the Han family is inexplicably grateful. There is only a difference between the inside and the outside, so there is no reason to see and thank you. The only thing I can do is ask the imperial concubine to follow the rules and serve the emperor and queen with all her heart, so as to share the worries of the master. Today's women are lucky Seeing the mother of the world, how dare you not thank your mother for her kindness at the beginning for the whole family!"

Saying that, he called Chitose, and solemnly bowed down.Baochai felt resentful in her heart, she just thought how could she have said all these words of eulogy?I had no choice but to salute with her.

What Tanchun said made the queen nod with a smile, reserved and humble, ordered them to flatten, but smiled and joked at Baochai: "I heard that you are the elder sister? How can you be so clumsy that you let the younger sister come?" Report this to the Palace?"

Baochai got the chance, crossed her hands demurely, bowed slightly, and said, "Returning to the Queen Mother, the civilian daughter Xue is a relative who borrowed the Rongguo Mansion. If you say something frivolous in front of the Empress, the civilian girl's surname is not Jia."

The queen laughed, nodded and said: "You are a very polite person. That's true. She is here, if you come forward to thank the Jia family, you may not be doing it for her."

Baochai bent her mouth and lowered her head: "Your Majesty knows the lesson."

The queen ordered the two of them to sit down, chatted again, asked about their ancestors' history, asked about their age and preferences, and finally asked with a smile: "It can be said that when my concubine Jia left the house, she specially asked all the brothers and sisters in the family to be happy. Read well. What books do you both like to read?"

The chief of Baochai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "The Minnv was in her hometown six or seven years ago. There was a women's school in the family, and she followed her for a few years, learning all kinds of things. After the death of my father, the Minnv Gang I look after my mother to do the housework, but female reds do more needlework, and I only do it occasionally. Now I can only say that I am not blind."

The queen didn't know why, she was clearly self-effacing, but she could hear a hint of arrogance from it, and turned to Tanchun expressionlessly, "Where's Miss Jia San?"

Tanchun answered very seriously: "Minnv learned calligraphy from her widowed sister-in-law at home, read Four Books for Women, Biography of Martyr Girls, and later also read serious books such as Four Books, Spring and Autumn Annals, Shiji, etc., but they didn't like them very much. I like to cook food for my grandmother by myself, so I like to read recipes the most. I have been watching "Shanjiaqinggong" for the past two years."

The queen liked to hear such detailed answers, so she smiled and asked, "What delicious food do you cook on weekdays?"

Tanchun smiled, and said: "In the past two years, I have done more things. The cook at home is afraid that I will snatch her job, so she tries to find a way. Now she is much more capable than me, so I don't need to do it."

Just as she was talking, Madam Xu walked in quickly from the outside, the queen looked at her and smiled: "Sure enough, you are right, Miss San is very good."

Nanny Xu pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, and didn't answer the Queen's words at all, but was busy whispering in her ear.
