"Yes, it is Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhe, and I will stay out of the matter because I have no direct interest in the second elder brother, even if..." From the corners of his slightly curved lips, he slowly spit out nine words
Literally, "It was my fault."
Hearing this, Ah Luo knew that her master had calmed down completely, and she no longer had any worries. She lowered her eyes and said, "My master is wise."
The next day, Xianyue appeared at the right gate of Changkang at about the same hour as yesterday. She put the small fish she brought on the ground and in the corner. The little black cat she saw yesterday was evasive and did not dare to come close.
Very wary.
"Mother, why are you here?" The voice startled the black cat, and it fled quickly with a "meow". It didn't stop until it felt safe, and then stopped and looked, keeping its eyes on the ground.
Fish, obviously it wants to eat it, but it is afraid of danger.
Xianyue turned around and looked at Yonglian, who was running towards her in a hurry with an oil paper bag, and said warmly: "Run slower, be careful not to fall. When the time comes, it's time for the Queen to ask again."
Hearing what she said, Yong Lian really slowed down. As he got closer, he saw the cat on the ground and said happily: "Mother, are you coming to feed the cat too?"
Xianyue smiled fondly and said: "Yes, I was afraid that you would be controlled by the Queen and not allowed to come out. Then wouldn't the cat be hungry? So I brought some fish over, but I didn't expect that I would actually let you out.
"
After Yonglian laughed, he looked at the oil paper bag in his hand and said awkwardly: "Then didn't I bring too much?"
Xia Yue said: "There's not a lot of it, just save it for it to eat at night, isn't it the same thing?"
Yong Lian nodded and said, "It's exactly what the empress said." After saying that, he opened the oil paper bag and put it on the ground, calling the cat to come and eat, but no matter how he called, the cat hid far away and refused to come near.
.
Seeing this, Xianyue said, "I think it's because there are so many of us, so I'm scared. Let's just go further and watch."
Yong Lian nodded and retreated with Xianyue to a place where they could not easily be seen. In this way, the black cat came over as expected. After eating a lot, he took the biggest one away and ran away. Yong Lian saw that
He narrowed his eyes with a smile.
When he was about to leave, Yong Lian said: "My queen, will you come again tomorrow?"
Xianyue knelt down, straightened Yonglian's clothes and said, "Do you want me to come or not?"
Yonglian said without thinking: "Come here, so the cat can eat double portions of food, and I will be very happy to have my wife to feed it with me."
"What a silly boy." Xianyue pinched Yonglian's nose and said, "Okay, then whenever I have time, I will come here to accompany you to feed the cat, but this matter is between the two of us.
Secrets cannot be told to others, you know?"
Yong Lian nodded vigorously and said: "Well, don't worry, Madam, I will definitely not tell anyone else, not even the Queen."
Xianyue smiled and said: "Okay, go back quickly, remember, you must wash your hands and dust your clothes, you know?"
"Well, Yong Lian excuses himself." After Yong Lian left, Xianyue glanced behind her and showed a cold smile.
From late autumn to early winter, everything was calm and uneventful. The only ripple caused was that Mingyu asked Hongli for help, and Xu Gao was appointed to assist him in taking charge of the Sixth Palace, helping him to understand everything in the palace.
Although Hongli felt that it was not appropriate, he also knew that Mingyu had always been weak and did not take care of things when he was in hiding. Suddenly faced with so many things in the palace, it was inevitable that he would not be able to cope with it, so after some consideration
, agreed to Mingyu's request and gave Gao the power to co-manage the Sixth Palace.
All of a sudden, Jingren Palace was crowded with people who came to congratulate the Gao family on gaining this great power. Many of them wanted to make friends with Bajie. Even Concubine Zhe came in person.
Although Mr. Gao is arrogant in his bones, he is not a brainless person. He greets everyone who comes here politely and never neglects him.
After finally seeing off the visitors one by one, Mrs. Gao took the imperial edict and looked at it carefully. There was indescribable joy in her expression. She never expected that what she had been looking forward to would fall from the sky and land on her like this.
In her hands, when she first heard the imperial edict, she still couldn't believe it.
After reading the imperial edict over and over again and confirming that he had the power to govern the Sixth Palace, Mrs. Gao said: "Except for the Queen, is everyone in the palace here?"
Wen Zhu lowered his head and said, "To tell you what I'm saying to the master, there is still a future for Concubine Xian and Concubine Chun."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the palace came in and said, "Master, the pure concubine is out here asking for an audience."
A hint of joy flashed across Gao's face, but she quickly suppressed it, cleared her throat and said, "Please come in, pure concubine."
"Hey!" Not long after the palace servants went down, Su's figure appeared in Gao's eyes. After the former came in, he bowed respectfully and saluted, and then said: "I am here to congratulate Concubine Hui on her great happiness. She has lived a thousand years.
age!"
Mrs. Gao signaled: "Chun concubine is interested, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After sitting down, Su ordered the palace servants to put the gifts she had brought on the table. Gao glanced at them and said, "Chun concubine is so polite, but I am embarrassed."
Mrs. Su said in a humble voice: "The queen is very happy. It would be really unjustifiable if I didn't come."
After the palace servants brought tea, Gao glanced at the palace servants standing in the palace and said, "As long as we have Wen Zhu waiting here, you can go down."
After the palace attendants exited the main hall and stood far away under the winter sun, Mrs. Gao said softly: "Sister, you can just ask someone to send you gifts. Why come here in person? It will be troublesome if people get suspicious. In the eyes of others,
Come on, I and my sister have always been at odds."
Mrs. Su chuckled and said, "My sister is very happy today. If she doesn't come over, it will really make people suspicious."
No one knew that she and Gao had known each other since they were young. Although they later separated because Gao's father, Gao Bin, was transferred elsewhere, they had always exchanged letters and had a very good relationship with each other. Su was a few years older.
No one expected that the two would not only meet again after many years of separation, but also become Hongli's women. However, the Su family was not as lucky as the Gao family, and the status of her mother's family was even lower. Although she gave birth to a child,
He was a concubine, but he was still just a princess, and now he has only been granted the title of concubine.
The two were naturally very happy to meet again, but after some discussion, they decided to pretend that they didn't know each other, and even deliberately started arguing in front of others to make people think that they didn't get along.
In this way, things will be much more convenient. If one day something happens to one of them, the other person can stand up and testify for him, and because of the opposition, the testimony will be more reliable.
Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "Anyway, I am really happy that sister can come today. By the way, sister, how is Concubine Xian doing? I heard that after that day, she sent someone to deliver something to you."
