Concubine De could only smile bitterly. Seeing that she really had no energy, Concubine De said goodbye. On the way back, Concubine De was also hurt by some things and looked gloomy. I felt bad when I saw her, but I didn’t know how to persuade her.
I was searching for something to say to tease her. She listened with a smile at first, but then she sighed: "Other people's children belong to other people after all. If you take them back, what can you do?" I was shocked.
Subconsciously looking at the palace attendants around him, and making sure they were all right, he called out angrily: "Mother Concubine!"
We all know that the root cause of Sister Wuyue's current situation is still the Queen Mother's marriage. But no one condemned her, not only because of her status, but more importantly, she is Wuyue's biological mother.
Thinking back to those days, not long after the emperor's brother ascended the throne, Tiele had been recuperating his strength for decades, and his national power had greatly increased. Another generation of famous generals also appeared, and he was eyeing the land of Yanyun in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was well known to all passers-by that he was prominent in the rear of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There must be no more chaos. However, during the late emperor's time, He He had many battles with each other, and there were many grudges between them. How to reassure each other was an issue that both countries attached great importance to. In addition to opening up trade, He He also proposed to marry the Great Zhou Emperor.
female.
At that time, the only direct relatives of the emperor to be married were Longyue and Hehe. When asking for help from others, the regent and the queen mother could not use their clan daughters as princesses, not to mention that Namoge had met the late emperor's daughter.
But what no one expected was that the Queen Mother finally married her own flesh and blood. There was a chorus of praise both inside and outside the court.
But we are separated by flesh and blood, so what if we are blown up to the sky? I was only ten years old at that time, and I vaguely knew something. I knew that Sister Wuyue’s marriage was not a happy event. And Sister Lingxi, who had never been close to her sister, was also there.
The day before the wedding ceremony, I grabbed Longyue's bright red Nine Phoenix auspicious suit and burst into tears. No one tried to persuade her to let go, but she just choked and said: "Sister, don't go. If you go, you won't be able to come back."
"
No one could have imagined that Lingxi, who had always been well-behaved, would react so violently. The concubines and concubines who had made an appointment to add makeup didn’t know what to do. In the end, it was Sister Longyue who leaned over to coax her and told her, “After I leave, you have to
Be filial to your mother and act like a sister to Xue Po. Don't cry. You are not a little baby. You will get married in a few years. Look, my sister is looking over there. If you don't wipe away your tears,
, be careful of being laughed at.”
I heard Sister Haoyue mentioning me, so I weighed it and stepped forward to help Sister Lingxi up. Finally, I couldn't help but ask: "Sister, if you get married, won't you come back?"
Wuyue was startled, then smiled, and that smile seemed like the inula flower that bloomed from the sea of suffering and hell. She said: "Yes, when a woman marries, it is called returning, which means to take root and settle down. Everyone has to do this, there is nothing wrong with it.
What a fuss." Then he said: "Sister, I don't have anything else to worry about, Huaishu. Concubine De's mother likes Huaishu the most. Will Huaishu spend more time with her in the future?"
The past is like smoke, and when I think of this imperial sister who I have not had much contact with, I am afraid that I will never meet again in this life. When I think about it, my heart feels sour, and I can't persuade my mother and concubine.
When we arrived at the palace gate, the concubine remembered something and said to me: "Xiaoyun came to serve you recently. Is she serving you well?" I wondered why she suddenly mentioned this investigation, but I still said: "She is on duty.
Very good, why does the mother-in-law ask this, but do you have any worries about her?"
The mother-in-law smiled lightly and did not speak. She just took my hand into the inner hall. After glancing at the palace servants around her, she said: "When it comes to your sister Longyue, I, as a mother, can't help but feel sorry for you."
Plan one or two, the dowry will naturally be arranged by the Queen Mother, and I will subsidize it when the time comes. But the arms around you are indispensable, and you must bring one or two confidants with you. Otherwise, even if you have the dignity of a thousand years old, you will not be able to live in the inner house.
Do you want to fight alone? Rujuan is older and has some objections to the palace rules, and Ruxiu is about to leave the palace at full age, so I thought of this one named Xiaoyun."
I heard my mother-in-law put aside the virtues of women and directly taught me how to run a family. I was touched and funny at the same time, so I had to say: "It's okay, mother-in-law, let's take a look first. She is still my daughter, and she is indeed still good."
There’s no rush.”
"How can training people be a temporary thing? You kid, you have to learn to plan for a rainy day." The mother-in-law made me feel a little nagging for the first time, and then she sighed again: "Speaking of Ruxiu, because Jing concubine intervened,
I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave the palace this winter. Seeing her full of expectation, I really can't bear it."
I knew in my heart that what Concubine Mu was talking about was that Concubine Jing used the matter of the Forbidden City maiden's departure from the palace to take advantage of Concubine De for the sake of the power of the Sixth Palace a few days ago, and I secretly despised her. But she has always been that person, and I didn't think much about it. Instead, I thought of Ruxiu
, this woman from Sichuan and Sichuan whom I have known since my early childhood, she was always gentle and lively in my childhood. After all, it was time to leave, and I felt a little sad, saying only: "My mother and concubine also know
At this time, we can't go against the one named Li. Ruxiu, alas, I was in a bad mood a few days ago, and it made her anxious and smile at me. I just hope that Jingbi has a baby girl in her belly.
, then no matter how crazy she is, her arrogance will not be so great. It would be a sin to release her before the end of the year and not waste time."
After hearing this, the mother-in-law smiled slightly, clapped my hand and said: "Actually, Ruxiu's mother-in-law has known for a long time. I have been a slave, so I understand her hard work. It's natural that you have been rich and powerful since you were born. It's good to think like this."
Already."
I didn't say anything, I just leaned into my mother's arms and felt the unique scent of soap locust on her body. In fact, I have known for a long time that my mother always felt that I was from a humble background, which not only made me fall behind other people in terms of status,
Imperial Concubine, and the shrewdness and self-cultivation of all ladies can't teach me, so they always let me get close to the gentle Concubine Demu and the elegant Concubine Zhenmu, intentionally or unintentionally. This also contributed to my reputation as a filial concubine.
Even though this would make her, the biological mother, disappointed, she never complained.
But I know better that my ordinary mother has given me a lot in terms of blood inheritance, speech and behavior. Because of this, even if I am not dazzling, I have always lived a down-to-earth life.
However, I never expected that so many things would happen in just one winter and summer, many of which I could not control and even be involved in.
First of all, just after half of July, news came from outside the palace that Mrs. He, the mother of Prince Yubo of Runan County, had passed away.
After the Queen Mother heard the news, she didn't say anything for a long time. Then she wore plain clothes for the next three days and personally copied a hundred volumes of death mantras for Mrs. He.
