Chapter 38
Chapter 38
The voice was deep and clear, with clear breaks, and every word was clearly pronounced, so one could see that the speaker was decisive and upright.
Concubine Gao paused as she stroked the armor, her gaze shifted to the side, the red-walled jade corridor, and a person turned around, wearing black clothes, no official clothes, but everyone knew that she was about to wear the armor.
A mocking smile formed on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were clouded.
She has been planning all her life, and now she is the most favored in the harem, and the Gao clan is constantly favoring her. It has attracted the jealousy of many people, but Empress Fucha and the family of Fucha are always the thorn in her heart.These people will always remind her that even though she, Gao Jia, and Ning Xin'er are now flying on the branches and enjoying the honor of a noble concubine, as long as there is Fucha Fu Heng, the Fucha family can continue to have power, and Fucha Rongyin is also her forever. The unshakable honor of the mother of the country.
The existence of the Fucha siblings seems to be telling Concubine Gao that some people are born noble, above most people in the empire, and they will never be able to experience the feeling of falling into the dust.
In a sense, Concubine Gao was more afraid of Fucha Fu Heng than Fucha Rongyin.
She silently and oppressively watched the youngest son of the Fucha family come forward.
"Your Majesty's Concubine."
Fu Heng stopped in front of the imperial concubine's guard of honor, bowed his head and saluted.
That's right, since the age of 15, he has been granted the emperor's permission, and he does not kneel in front of the saint. This kind of honor is only for this one person, let alone the concubines in the harem.
"Fucha's bodyguard, ah, that's not right. Looking at my memory, I'm afraid I should change my name to Mr. Fucha."
Concubine Gao leaned back, staring at Fu Heng below.
Fu Heng smiled: "I haven't gone to the Ministry of Households to register the documents yet, but since the emperor's imperial decree has been issued, I will boldly take it as it is."
His words and face are soft, and he has a handsome appearance. Everyone around him finds it pleasing to the eye. It seems that the aggressive concubine above is as fierce as a jackal.
"The sons of the Fucha family are all really promising. The queen is so lucky to have a younger brother like an adult." Gao Guifei said, her tone made people unable to distinguish between joy and anger.
Fu Heng just smiled, and instead of answering this question, he opened his mouth and said:
"I don't know where the minister's wife offended the empress? I hope the empress will understand that she is still young and not familiar with the rules of the palace. Let her and the minister go home."
Concubine Gao squinted at him, then glanced at Shi Chun who was half kneeling beside him.
"Look at Ben Gong, I was so happy to see Mrs. Fu Cha that I forgot about it." She probed and called out, "Young Madam, get up quickly, lest the empress hear about blaming Ben Gong. Now the empress is pregnant. Changchun Palace, gold is very precious, I don’t dare to touch the limelight.”
Shi Chun twitched his mouth, lowered his head and stood up.
Seeing her getting up, Fu Heng withdrew his gaze, looked at Concubine Gao, and said warmly: "The empress is simple, and the emperor should be nervous, unlike the empress who is tough. The Fucha family sincerely hope that the empress will go well. The queen empress and sisters are very affectionate, with you in the palace to take care of them, the minister's Ama and Er Niang are also very relieved.
fart!
Concubine Gao almost blurted out.
Forgive her, Gao Jia, Ning Xin'er, for being a vulgar person, for not being able to learn the elegant words and sentences of those Manchurian ladies, but these two words are indeed what Gao Guifei wants to say most at the moment.
Concubine Gao simply wanted to look up to the sky and laugh out loud, sisters love each other deeply?who?She and Fucha Rongyin?If Fucha Fu Heng hadn't married a wife and broke his head, he should have known that Mrs. Gao hated Empress Fucha deeply. She wished she could kill the empress and the one in her belly, nurse?What a joke!
Immediately she couldn't laugh anymore, how could the imperial concubine not know that this was a threat from the Fucha family, and this Fu Heng, who moved out Li Rongbao to warn her, was afraid that she had long felt that she had something wrong with the queen. Come on her.
After all, he is a man, he thinks things are so simple and straightforward, and the power over others is applicable to all places in the world, but in this palace, it is not whose backstage force who speaks, it depends on who is more ruthless and more resourceful in doing things.
In this regard, none of the Fucha siblings could see it.
They all care too much about things that are upright, and too much about pursuing integrity. In Concubine Gao's view, this kind of hypocrisy is useless.
"It's getting late, I won't be here to block the way of the empress, the empress please."
Fu Heng stepped aside, walked up to Shi Chun, and stood side by side with her, waiting for Concubine Gao to open the way.
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and followed him for a look. She also felt that too much effort was wasted here. The guard of honor occupied the way. Many of the later palace ladies and eunuchs could only kneel at the base of the city wall and wait while speaking. Several rows.
"Let's go, go back to the palace." She lazily ordered, holding her armored hand on the side of her head, looking through the gap of the golden red agate armor and looking at the person who gradually fell behind.
She thought she had discovered something rather interesting.
Whether it's Fu Heng's nervousness towards his new wife, or Er Qing next to the queen, they are all very interesting.
"It's alright."
Fu Heng lowered his head, waited for the imperial concubine Yi to drive over, reached out and grabbed Shi Chun's hand, the tentacles were a little cold, he asked in a low voice.
Shi Chun leaned towards him slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, you came in time."
Er Qing who was at the side looked sideways, following their close distance, all the way to the hand covered by the sleeve.
Although it was covered by the sleeves, it could still be seen on closer inspection that their hands were clasped together.
Er Qing's brows trembled, she might as well turn her head to look at Fu Heng, she hurriedly narrowed her eyes and lowered her head.
"Erqing, go back and tell your sister that I took Shichun away, and we'll be back right away."
Er Qing blessed her lower body: "The servant knows, my lord...and young lady, please be careful."
On the side, when Shi Chun heard the words, he took a look at her, but did not speak after all.
Fu Heng nodded, then looked at Shi Chun, she nodded, and the two of them walked towards the palace gate.
The maids and eunuchs who were kneeling behind them and waiting for the imperial concubine to leave all dispersed to do their own work, while turning their heads to look at the newlywed couple, talking in low voices.
Erqing's legs seemed to be fixed in place, she looked at the two people who left without blinking her eyes.
The evening light entered the Forbidden City, and cast a yellow halo behind them. They did not have the grand parade of emperors and empresses, nor the grandeur of noble concubines. They held hands shoulder to shoulder and walked along the palace roads of the Forbidden City at dusk. The hands that are held together maintain a decent distance, but the shadows are closely related to each other behind them, regardless of each other.
The setting sun is picturesque, and Er Qing thinks this is probably the most beautiful picture she has ever seen in her life. If she doesn't know who is in the painting, she is willing to remember this picture forever.
But why, she can only stare at this scene behind others, but can never become the person in the painting?
This time it's clear, it's only close at hand.
"Are you okay? I didn't expect that you would be surprised to meet the imperial concubine again."
Inside the carriage, Fu Heng looked at Shi Chun apologetically.
Shi Chun shook her head, she had been thinking since she got in the car, she didn't pay much attention to what he said, instead she frowned, thought about it, and told him what the imperial concubine said before he came .
"You mean that the noble concubine has already planned a scheme to harm the queen?"
Fu Heng frowned and repeated: "Although Concubine Gao has always been at odds with the Queen, she hasn't committed any serious crimes so far. Murdering the emperor's heir is a felony committed by the family. Will she be so bold?"
Shi Chun said: "I always feel that what she said has something to say, and she is full of ambition. If she only has one idea, it's fine. But I'm worried that if the noble concubine dares to be so sure, it means that she is fully prepared. It is easy to hide an open spear and difficult to defend against an insidious arrow. The delivery date is also approaching, if Chu Xiugong jumps over the wall in a hurry, it may not be impossible."
"Besides, on this matter," she said, she hesitated: "I have some intuition. Since I was a child, my intuition has never been wrong, which is why I am so uneasy."
Fu Heng believed her without any doubts, but he seemed more worried, but he was a foreign minister after all, and he could do nothing about the affairs of the inner court of the deep palace.
Seeing this, Shi Chun comforted him and said, "Maybe I'm worrying too much? At worst, I'll go to the palace to accompany the empress more often, and observe more until the empress gives birth safely."
Hearing this, Fu Heng looked at her gratefully, and held her hand: "Then I'll have to trouble you," he said, worrying again: "It's one thing to take care of my sister, but you have to do what you can. It's equally important here. If you encounter any danger, ask Hai Lancha to come out of the palace to find me. The palace is no better than home, there are all kinds of monsters, ghosts and snakes, you must be careful."
As he said that, he couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed. He was already very busy. After joining the household department, he wanted to gain a foothold. I'm afraid he was too busy to take care of his family. If she often went to the palace, the two of them would hardly see each other. Come to think of it, I'm afraid not many newlyweds will become like this.
Shichun smiled: "If you feel that you owe me, I have a favor to ask you to help. Speaking of which, it doesn't make sense for me to always go to the palace as a courtier's wife. My sister's place is fine, but I'm afraid that Erniang's place will be hard to think about." , go back today and use a less worrying reason to persuade Er Niang, how about entrusting this task to you?"
Fu Heng lowered his head and smiled: "What kind of task is this? I was supposed to do this. Don't worry, I will never let Er Niang stop you. As for you, this task is worthless. What else do you want me to do?" Yes, say what you can."
Shi Chun groaned, tilted his head and thought for a long time, but to no avail, he could only shake his head with a helpless smile.
Fu Heng smiled and watched her thinking all the time, seeing her shake her head, he gave a helpless and gentle smile, and the coldness in his eyes melted away.
"Bron, change the road." He raised his voice and ordered the people driving outside.
"Okay, master, where are you going?"
Fu Heng pursed his lips and smiled: "Whatever you want, wherever you want to have fun, where you can spend money."
Fu Heng turned his head and saw Shi Chun staring at him with wide eyes.
"I really want to say that you are crazy, but after thinking about it, this should be a reward for me, so can I ask, Master Fucha, where are you taking me?"
Shi Chun asked seriously, with a smile in his eyes.
Fu Heng's eyes were full of smiles: "Have you read the folk talk book?"
"Ok?"
"The Eight Banners have always been frequent visitors in the storybook. They usually go to the streets to fight cocks and walk dogs. When they see beautiful women, they will rob the women and take them back, but they don't let them go home. Every time they go back after finishing their errands, they will go to the carriage. I will turn a corner and go to the place where the golden house hides the beauty."
Shi Chun's eyebrows became higher and higher, and she said, "Then, this young master from Eight Banners, where are you going to take the little girl now?"
Fu Heng said: "I was very happy to see this beautiful little lady today, so I decided to snatch it to be my wife. Now, naturally, I want to impress the little lady's heart."
Shichun had a good time: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."
Fu Heng turned to her and smiled: "Have you been to Nancheng? Have you been to the Temple of Fire?"
Shichun shook his head.
"You said you haven't traveled very far, so I think you probably haven't traveled all over Beijing either. Tonight, while I'm still idle, I'll take you to the flower market near the Huoshen Temple."
Shichun blinked at him.
Nancheng, Flower Market, Lantern Market and other market places have never been visited by boudoir daughters. Shichun used to be considered free at home, but he could only go to some expensive shops on the bustling commercial streets. She only heard of such markets. I have, but I have never seen it.
Fu Heng looked at her bright eyes, and smiled with curved lips.
In fact, these places are the places that the children of Beijing and China were bored with when they were young. Men are no more than women, and they are unrestrained. As they get older, the adult Eight Banners children also lose interest in these places. His wife is the only one in the tavern and music workshop, who is always happy like a child when she hears that she is coming to this kind of market place.
This was the first time he saw her look so happy, innocent and pure, exactly what she should be like at her age.
"If you want to come to these places in the future, I can accompany you. It should be enough for me to protect you."
In the end, after a thousand words, he only said this sentence while looking into those eyes.
