"I see, I didn't expect that she is still a loving and righteous woman." Concubine De touched the lifelike peony and sighed with emotion, then ordered people to put away the embroidery and said happily: "After so many birthdays, today is the day.
I am the happiest, not because of the gifts, but because of your filial piety, I am really happy."
"If your Majesty likes it, my fourth brother and I will come to the palace from time to time to talk to you. As long as your Majesty doesn't find me annoying then," Yinxiang said with a smile.
Concubine De glanced at him and said: "There is no reason why a mother would find her son annoying, but I would be even happier if you could marry Thirteenth Fujin in a serious manner. Fourteenth is one month younger than you, and he is already
Now that you are a father, you are the only one who still acts like a fool all day long
Personally, your Majesty, your Majesty, and I have complained several times. Every time I propose marriage to you, you always push it. Even though you are not my biological son, I still treat you as my son. You can say it yourself.
When will it be confirmed for sure?”
"I will settle down naturally when I find the person I like. Don't worry, Madam." Yinxiang shied away with a playful smile. What he was most afraid of was that Concubine De would talk about this matter and would be talked about for a long time every time she came back.
Concubine De also knew what he was thinking, and said helplessly: "I am not in a hurry, but I am afraid that I will lose my patience after a while, so I will just point you to one. Until then, just don't come here to cry."
Yinxiang winked at Yinzhen and did not dare to answer. Nala smiled slightly and took the topic: "It's rare that E Niang is in such a good mood. I want to ask for a favor for Ling Gege."
After a brief thought, Concubine De guessed what the grace she requested was, but she did not explain it. She only glanced at Ling Ruo, who was full of surprise and did not seem to know anything about it, and said, "Tell me."
Nala turned a blind eye to Nian's stern gaze, and maintained a proper smile and said: "Ling Gege's Ama is from the fourth-level ceremony, and she herself is also a serious show girl, so it stands to reason that she should be sealed to the side.
It’s not an exaggeration to say Fujin, I just didn’t know that at that time Ling
Princess did something wrong, which made the imperial concubine furious and demoted her as Princess. These days, I feel that Ling Gege is knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and wise, and has never complained at all because of her status, so I want to promote her.
For the good fortune of the common people."
Concubine De took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and said: "Concubine Fujin is not recorded in the clan's register, and there is no need for the palace to issue an order. You and the fourth child can make the decision on this matter yourself. Why bother asking for my favor.
"
"What E Niang said is that, first of all, the concubine in the mansion has all four corners of the promotion, and he cannot be promoted again unless he has a special gift; secondly..." Nala paused for a while and said in embarrassment: "E Niang also knows that this unique position
It was originally ordered by Concubine Rong.
, the son-in-law didn’t dare to say Jin, so he gave it to Jin. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to come and ask E Niang. E Niang and Yi Fei are now in charge of the affairs of the harem. If E Niang can nod, then Ling Gege will be the concubine and the Jin Dynasty.
Jin’s name is justified.”
Nian's eyebrows were raised and she looked at Concubine De and said, "I think this is inappropriate. Sister Shicai also said that Concubine Fujin has all four corners, but now adding another one does not make all four corners stable? What's more, since Concubine Rong only had
There must be a reason for her to treat the Niu Hulu family so well, but now that she is less than a year old and not pregnant, the royal family has the rashness to promote her to the rank of concubine, and I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public."
"What Su Yan said makes some sense." Concubine De nodded, but instead of answering immediately, she looked at Yinzhen, "What do you think, fourth child?"
"Everything is up to E Niang to decide." Yinzhen replied, with no clues on his calm face.
Concubine De thought for a moment and glanced at Ling Ruo, who was standing at the bottom with her head bowed. Looking at the face that looked exactly like Queen Xiaochengren and the woman in the painting, her heart moved and she made a decision, "You don't have to guess anymore."
I have gone. I might as well tell you that the reason why Concubine Rong was sent to the Niu Hulu family in the past was because she suspected that she was having an affair with someone. Afterwards, the emperor
The emperor has sent people to find out the truth. Everything is false. The emperor has also punished Concubine Rong for this matter. As for the issue of Jin Feng, Su Yan is not bad, but the daughter of a court official has no fault of morality.
Being in the position of Gege will inevitably lead to criticism, so I decided to grant Lian Yi’s request, and I specifically decreed that Niu Hulu Lingruo should be promoted to the concubine and blessed."
Nala thanked her gratefully. Seeing that Ling Ruo was still standing there blankly, he quickly tugged on her sleeves and whispered: "What are you still doing standing there? Thank you for your grace."
Ling Ruo came back to her senses, knelt down quickly and choked with sobs: "I thank you for your kindness." Concubine De's words just now were like clearing her name in public, so that she no longer needed to be criticized for this matter.
"Get up, serving Fourth Brother well is the best way to express your gratitude to me." As soon as De Fei finished speaking, she heard a hearty voice from outside, "What are you talking about, so lively?"
Following this voice, a tall and handsome man strode in. It was the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen. After entering the palace, he lifted his robe and knelt down and said: "My son, I would like to pay my respects to E Niang, and wish you the best."
May my mother be blessed with good fortune, good health, and a long life."
"Get up quickly and let me take a good look at you." Concubine De doted on this young boy very much. She was very happy to see him coming. She waved him over and called him closer to take a closer look and said with distress: "Why haven't you lost weight in a while?
There are a lot of people, and the people are also black, but is it too hard in the military camp?"
"No, it's not the same as before." Yinzhen smiled and took out a string of Buddhist beads made of golden nanmu. "Today is E Niang's birthday. I know that E Niang is devoted to worship Buddha, so I went to the temple to pray for her.
Here’s a bunch of Buddhist beads blessed by eminent monks, I’ll see if you like them.”
"When did my mother-in-law say she didn't like the things you gave me?" Concubine De said happily, and after saying a few more words, she remembered that Yinzhen and the others were still there, and said hurriedly: "I've met your fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, and thirteenth brother soon.
.”
Yinzhen patted his head and said with a smile: "Look, I was so focused on congratulating E Niang on her birthday that I forgot that Fourth Brother is still here. Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Brother, don't you blame me?"
"Of course not." Yinzhen smiled and said, "Why don't you see your younger siblings coming with you?"
"She had a cold a few days ago. I was afraid that she would infect E Niang, so I didn't let her come." At this point, Yinzhen remembered something and said, "Last time I came back to say hello, E Niang didn't seem to feel well. Are you feeling better now?"
"It's just a minor illness. It's fine a long time ago." Concubine De replied kindly, and then she asked about the trivial matters of Yinzhen in the military camp. Her eyes never moved away from Yinzhen from the beginning to the end.
Yinzhen looked at the picture of a loving mother and a filial son, and felt extremely uncomfortable. After Yinzhen came in, Concubine De's eyes never left him, and she and Yinxiang seemed to be transparent.
He spent countless efforts to write the picture of a hundred years of life, thinking that it would make E Niang look at him more. Yes, he did it; but when the fourteenth brother came, E Niang's eyes returned to the fourteenth brother.
, even the slightest bit of money was stingy to him. It can be seen that E Niang has always only had the fourteenth brother in her heart. Even if the fourteenth brother gave E Niang just a piece of rotten wood today, I am afraid that E Niang will regard it as a treasure.
He is different from him after all...
The people he really cares about are always unavailable. This is the case with E Niang, and the same is true with Meier...
Yinzhen was filled with bitterness, and he sighed slightly in his heart and looked away. When he passed by Yinxiang, he found that he was smiling at him, showing his snow-white teeth, shining in the autumn sun that shone into the hall.
Yinzhen was startled, and then a bit of warmth began to feel in his slightly cold heart. Fortunately, fortunately, there was still a Yinxiang in this world, so he wouldn't be too lonely.
