The autumn wind blows, the chrysanthemums turn yellow, and the weather becomes cold.
The jar of chrysanthemum wine brewed with my daughter-in-law yesterday was just sealed. When I got up early this morning, Concubine De ordered the food and said, "Let's eat crabs! It's the season for eating crabs."
In the past, we mostly ate freshwater crabs. Nowadays, ships are fast, so seafood crabs are hard to buy, but as a prince, you can still get them if you want to eat them.
The empress asked for it, so go and buy it.
In the end, there was no need to run. Su Peisheng came early in the morning and delivered two big baskets. This is because we know that this lady of our family has nothing to pursue now, and she is just working hard on eating and drinking. Therefore, the filial piety of the fourth child is reflected.
When my mother wants to eat, she can serve it immediately.
De Fei was so happy that she even went to the kitchen with her daughter-in-law. She had been living here for half a year, but her daughter-in-law was the one doing all the cooking. It couldn't be more meticulous. Now she just eats the food cooked by her sixth wife.
Watching my daughter-in-law clean the crabs quickly with her hands and feet, and then tie them up before putting them on the steamer, I really feel that I am such a good daughter-in-law! As a mother-in-law, I just have to turn a blind eye.
With one eye closed, we are not jealous of the couple's grudges. We don't feel that our daughter-in-law is robbing our son. Then we really feel that life cannot be better.
I went to eat crabs first, and then the kitchen had to pick out the crab roe and crab meat. In the evening, I was thinking of steaming another crab roe bun for my mother-in-law.
While eating, my son was waiting on me. Siye handed over the crab roe first, and then carefully picked out the meat from the crab legs bit by bit to E Niang. E Niang didn’t feel bothered at all by eating like this.
I feel like after eating like this, she is in the mood to eat more.
I haven't finished eating the crab roe here, but Su Peisheng is here again. This is something.
Su Peisheng came here to send a message, "Sixth Master, our master asked the servant to come over and say that the emperor's holy driver will be leaving the city tomorrow, and he must be picked up early tomorrow morning."
"You'll be back tomorrow?" Concubine De put down the little spoon in her hand and looked at Su Peisheng in disbelief, "It doesn't take long?"
Su Peisheng: "..." I left Beijing in early February, and it's now August. In the past, the Western Tour lasted twenty-seven or eight days, and the longest one was thirty-four days. As a result, it lasted half a year this time. What do you think?
Not many days?
The southern tour did not last for half a year! It was because I was delayed by reading miscellaneous studies along the way and came back a little late. In addition, I encountered temples along the way and had to go and have a look. Thirteen was using troops in southern Xinjiang, so this time to worship the Buddha
It has a different meaning. Otherwise, why would it last half a year?
Si Ye asked Su Peisheng to go back, "Just say I understand."
Su Peisheng retreated neatly, thinking that Mr. Liu couldn't do much today, and Empress Dowager De's expression was really not good.
Yes! Concubine De felt that the crabs today were no longer tasty. She was confused at first, then sad, and finally endured all kinds of discomfort, picked up a spoon, and ate the crab roe bit by bit. Si Ye: "
..." Even if I still love E Niang, there is no reason to leave E Niang outside the palace.
He looked at Tongtong, you tell me, Tiantian's little mouth can do it very well, now tell me, persuade E Niang, it will be a great achievement for you.
Tongtong's mouth opened and closed again, how do you say this? She hesitated for a long time, and then said: "The emperor can't take turns living with his sons!"
If you can take turns living with your sons, then you ladies don’t have to leave, and you can still live peacefully with the Emperor for a while. As for your three sons, after all, you spend more time with the Emperor than most of the time.
The concubine lasts longer, so she will definitely be more favored than Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong. Now, you and Concubine Yi are evenly matched. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room lowered their heads, and Si Ye couldn't finish his words.
Give her the crab meat that you picked out first: Can we stop talking nonsense?
E Niang's face turned red when she said that, didn't you see?
So what do you think we should do? I have never heard of anyone leaving a concubine outside the palace! Besides, if the empress doesn’t want to go back, the emperor must not think that the empress doesn’t want to go back and serve her!
Isn't this what Concubine De is thinking about? She said she was going to serve him, but in fact we don't serve him either. We only see the emperor occasionally... He has no use for us, and he doesn't want to throw us out of the palace.
Hey! How could I have felt that the emperor was somewhat sincere to me back then?
You are still too young! If you say that you were favored back then, is that a favor? Look at the lives of your sons and daughters-in-law. If you say that you were favored back then, you would be really blushing! This is what you do when you put gold on your face.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little sad. After dinner, I sent my son and daughter-in-law first, "You guys are busy with your work. Grandma Youping will take the people to pack things. I want to take a nap for a while..."
The two of them thought they didn't want to go back to the palace and were in a low mood, no! This kind of thing is really unexplainable.
But I didn’t know that Concubine Da was left to the people below to take care of me. The more I lay there and thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. It’s not that I didn’t want to serve the emperor because I had forgotten the emperor’s grace. It was because the emperor didn’t really treat me well back then!
I feel that the emperor has the same feeling for himself as for old objects. He doesn't use them anymore, they just use them as decorations to gather dust.
Tongtong seems to be busy over there. Isn't this some new clothes for the empress? Iron them quickly and wear them when you return to the palace tomorrow. There are ways to gain weight. It's a cold day, so we can choose.
It’s better to use darker materials and brighter accessories. It’s not too dull and doesn’t look fat when worn like this. Then pinch the waist of the flag suit inward and put more effort into covering the belly. It looks really good in it.
I actually made more than a dozen sets. I thought it was time for the queen to wake up, so I moved them all over. Let’s try them out and see where they don’t fit. There’s still time to change them tonight.
"There's nothing that doesn't fit..." Concubine De said, hanging up, "They all fit, very good."
Still not in a good mood.
He looked at the clothes lazily and asked with a lack of interest: "When will you return to the palace tomorrow?"
Yes! The ladies must be sent to the palace before the emperor returns to the palace. Of course, it is sooner rather than later.
The princes went to pick up the Holy Emperor, and the Fujins got up early, took their mother-in-law into the palace, helped with the arrangements, and also paid greetings to the Queen Mother who returned to the palace.
When we got up early in the morning, Si Fujin and Thirty-four Fujin came. The four daughters-in-law dressed up around them, and then tidied them up neatly, and they were ready to leave.
Concubine De looked back at the house, and Tongtong said quickly, "I'll have someone clean it up every day, waiting for you to come back..."
He stopped mid-sentence and said, "Waiting for you to come back and live there" can't be said! The concubine will leave the palace and live there permanently. That will happen after the emperor has done it. Saying this now - it is really treason!
Concubine De wanted to say: "Have you brought all the jewelry you bought before?"
Aunt Ping responded, "Bring them all."
"Did you bring all the kimchi you made at home?"
Brought it with me.
"Where's the dried meat? Did you bring it all?"
Brought it.
"Have you brought our home-made fermented bean curd?"
Brought it! Brought it all!
Concubine De asked Tongtong again, "When can we harvest the radishes in our vegetable garden?"
It's still early to harvest the radishes, let's do it after the frost! Tongtong said quickly: "When it's time to harvest, I'll take the children to collect them. After I collect them, I'll make pickles with my own hands and send them to the palace for you."
"The radish is soaked in water and sent to the palace..." I think that one is more delicious.
OK! You have the final say!
The Thirteenth Fujin couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. Even after returning to the palace, he still missed the ridge of radishes. Moreover, it sounds like this is home, where is the palace? It doesn't sound like he is going back, but like he is going on a far journey.
have to.
The grandchildren were standing in a row outside. When Concubine De saw the children, she burst into tears and said, "You must remember to go into the palace to see Ma Cha!"
Yes! Remember, I went back and bought your favorite fried pigeon and brought it to the palace for you. "Don't forget the donkey meat, too."
Tongtong hurriedly spoke, "It's not worth putting this on the list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs later. You are not the only one who likes to eat it. Didn't we buy this for all the mothers and concubines? I heard that they all like to eat it, especially
It's Hui'e Niang and Liang'e Niang, who love to eat..."
Yes! There are so many delicious foods that you can't eat in the palace. I have never heard of them before. The food in the imperial dining room lasts for thirty or forty years. Just think about it. One kind of food is called you.
If you keep eating and eating, you can tell whether it's annoying or not. It feels like returning to the palace is saying goodbye to the beautiful days. How can it not make people sad?
On the way back to the palace, Tongtong warned, "From now on, when you are in the palace, you still have to walk around. If you walk around, you will feel relaxed..."
"Don't worry, I'll lose weight in three months... If I don't eat well, can I gain weight?"
The sisters-in-law looked at each other vaguely, "What's going on? Going to the palace is like doing hard labor."
The fourteenth Fujin said: "Mother, you must be happy when you enter the palace, otherwise other concubines will..."
Concubine De waved her hands, their expressions may not be as good-looking as mine.
Sure enough, Concubine Hui, who had to play polo on a horse a while ago, looked listless today. When they met in the palace, she waved her hands and said to Concubine De: "I didn't sleep well yesterday, Your Majesty.
I won't be back until half a day later, so I have to catch up on my sleep." Then he said to the waiter beside him, "It's strange today, there's no wind at all..."
Looking a little irritable!
This should be because the wind outside the palace cannot blow into the palace walls.
Concubine Yi urged the eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair to walk a few steps and talk to Concubine De, "Having been out of the palace for half a year, not to mention that we are not used to it, even these people carrying the sedan chair are not used to it! You used to walk as fast as flying, you
Look, after not practicing for a long time, I feel tired just looking at them..."
No, empress! This is obviously the wrong portion!
Tongtong, who was following Concubine De in the sedan, thought that these empresses were giving excuses for their unhappiness. Look, Concubine Hui said she didn't sleep well, and Concubine Yi said she wasn't used to it. Later, Concubine Rong could be heard faintly telling Sanfujin,
"Don't be too harsh on your children. If you hit your children again, I will ask you two for questioning."
It seems that this displeasure is entirely to protect his grandson.
When she turned the corner, she glanced casually and saw the good concubine. Really, it seemed that she had not had many opportunities to see the good concubine in the past few months. But now when she looked at her, oh my god, that was the good concubine!
She raised her hand and poked her mother-in-law's hand on her shoulder, gesturing to her mother-in-law to gossip with her.
Concubine De turned her face to look, then quickly turned around and decisively shared the gossip with her daughter-in-law, "You are much fatter than me, aren't you?"
That's it! That's too fat! She was about to speak, but her mother-in-law said, "Don't tell me, you are indeed prettier than her now!"
Tongtong: "..." You don't have to remember embarrassing things for so long.
