"Empress Tianfei, if you don't dislike the Ai family, will you allow the Ai family to call you sister?" She said to me, changing her previous cold and cold demeanor to a pleasant caravan.
I thought, if I refuse, it would be very disrespectful. Although I don’t have much contact with those concubines, I still know that they are actually dissatisfied with me. At this time, I will be cold-faced again.
If you refuse, then I really don’t know what will happen. Just admit it, "Sister is serious, my sister is so disgusting!"
"Haha~~ This is the best. Sister, let's get back to the topic. The founding ceremony is extraordinary. My sister has a very noble status and must come forward. The etiquette here is relatively formal and cumbersome. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time for Concubine Tian to learn a lesson.
It's time." The queen said harmoniously.
Hey~~~ I don’t like these messy etiquettes with no food or soup. Now I have to add this most cumbersome one. It’s really annoying, and not to mention the tossing method, if it hurts the child in my belly
, what should I do? I don’t want to argue with them, I just don’t want to get involved.
"The Ai family knows that Concubine Tian is pregnant and is inconvenienced, but don't worry, there is another set of etiquette for pregnant concubines that will never hurt your health. It is also easy to learn." The queen continued.
Now that we have talked about this, she just vented her anger on me, how can I not give up her face and learn from her? But I am still helpless. It is really difficult to be the queen, but fortunately I don’t have to worry about this harem.
He replied: "Your Majesty, it's serious. It's good for me to learn some etiquette, sister."
"Okay, then sister will choose a master of ceremonies for my sister today so that she can teach her well tomorrow. If my sister is dissatisfied with anything, you can just tell your sister that if you can do it, your sister will naturally take care of it for her.
.”
"Thank you, sister." I replied. Then we exchanged greetings for a few more words and then left.
On the way, I met Concubine Jin. When she saw me, she came over.
"Sister Sumire, what's the matter with you?" Sumiremiya was not heading in this direction. She came to me on the way, so she must have something to tell me.
"Empress Tianfei." She was about to say something, but I interrupted her.
"You don't have to call me that. Just call me what you called me a year ago. Just use you and me." I am already numb and don't care much about how I call people I don't know very well, but
I still hope that there will be no class grudges against Concubine Jin, whom we have been with for some time.
"That's right, don't pay too much attention to Concubine De's words today. Concubine De is the niece of the former Queen Mother, and her father and brother are both high officials in the court. The Queen is her cousin, so she is naturally a bit bossy. As for learning etiquette
My sister, please take more care of me." Concubine Jin said quietly.
"I won't mind her attitude. Sister Sumire, you also know that coming here is not of my own free will. If possible, I would actually rather live a good life outside."
"Sister, what you said..." Concubine Jin was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Concubine De who came from the side. What she didn't want to see came to her, it was really a headache.
"What the Imperial Concubine said is really treasonous. What do you mean by 'not of my own free will'? Don't you look down upon this majestic Imperial Dynasty? Aren't you an insult to the Royal Family? The Emperor is like a god, why don't you give in?"
Your fox-like beauty has seduced me. How can you make someone of such a lowly status the concubine of heaven? You..."
"Empress De Fei, please be more careful in what you say." Concubine Jin, who was always calm, stopped her.
"Concubine Jin, what are you talking about? Do you think you can compete with me by currying favor with her? Remember, the queen is my cousin? I am the grandniece of the former queen mother. Even if you curry favor with this concubine, what will happen?
No matter how noble her status is, she does not belong to the harem; but she is also alone and has no control over the affairs of the harem." As she spoke, she walked half a circle around Concubine Jin, broke off a willow branch, and slowly tore it apart.
Willow leaves.
"Concubine De, you should not just come here to say these words. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"In this case, I'll tell you the truth, sister. Concubine Tian, sees this romantic spring season, with hundreds of flowers blooming. My sister's palace is deserted, but it is not as deserted as my sister's morning garden, which is full of life everywhere. My sister, the minister, can I also
Let’s enjoy some of my sister’s happiness. Move a few plants to add some life to my palace.”
"Ling'er, you go with Concubine De and take good care of her." I just want her to do whatever she needs to do, isn't it just a few flowers? She loves to transplant them. I don't believe you can give me everything you said about Chenyuan.
Moved. But that would be the best. It would be best to take away the morning garden, take away the emperor who you say is so good, and let me out of the palace.
"Then thank Concubine Tian for admiring the flowers." After saying that, he walked towards Chenyuan.
Looking at her back, I actually felt a little pitiful for her. This harem is just a cannibalistic place. Although she has such a powerful background, she is so arrogant and domineering, making enemies without any scruples. It is easy to dodge an open gun, but difficult to hide from a hidden arrow.
How long can she be domineering? When she is honored, many people lift her up, but when she sinks, thousands of people trample on her. I am afraid that the price she will pay will not be something she can bear.
At this time, if I knew that my fate would change earlier than hers, I don’t know if I should think more about myself at this time.
"Sister, Concubine De has done some things. Just give her some training when it's time. She's still a sixteen-year-old woman." Concubine Sumire said from the side.
"Well, of course I won't do anything to her. It's getting late, sister, please go back, otherwise the little princess will make trouble again." Concubine Jin gave birth to the little princess Tian Yunyan three months ago, and she was just one month old.
, regardless of the fact that I was still in good health, I came to Chenyuan to comfort me to stay alive. In any case, when I was most desperate, there was someone who came to see me under such circumstances. I am grateful to her after all.
"Okay, you should take good care of yourself, sister, do you know? You have been more cheerful these days, which is good. Tomorrow, I will bring Xiao Yunyan to see my sister, you are welcome."
"That's good! I'm always worried about things and don't have time to take a good look at Xiao Yunyan. I wanted to find a time to go over there. You might as well come over now. As Concubine De said, the flowers in the garden are all blooming and beautiful.
Very good. I will make some fresh dishes myself tomorrow. You
You must come here, I'll keep it until it's so fresh that you can swallow it on your tongue." I don't know why, but when I thought of seeing that pink and tender baby, I got a little excited. Maybe it was because I also had a child, so I
Motherhood flourishes.
"Look how happy I am for you. I will definitely be there tomorrow. Sister, if you are inconvenient, don't be too tired." She stood up with a smile and replied.
"Cooking a few dishes, I'm not too tired. I miss my daughter. Come back soon. See you at the Peony Pavilion in the morning garden at noon tomorrow." Seeing her talk about her daughter, I think she is happy at this time.
No matter what the palace struggles and power struggles are; no matter what the high-walled backyards and harem competition are. For a mother, seeing her children happy and healthy is the real thing.
I thought, for now, I no longer have any extravagant expectations, let alone touch the place that has been closed for a long time. I touched my still flat belly, thinking, as Aunt Wan said, these
It’s not what I want so much, but it already belongs to me. Try to accept it and cherish it.
.Maybe I can also guard my own child, and watch the child grow up quietly and happily, which is also good. Suddenly I felt that I was not so lonely and desperate, and my body was warm for no reason. I took a deep breath and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. Relaxed
I have learned a lot, and my steps back are lighter.
