But the Queen Mother’s attention immediately moved away from me, because someone sang: “The Emperor Hemu has arrived_”
Originally, after the Hu family was deposed, He He was handed over to Luan Zhen's mother to raise him, and he was peaceful and happy at first. Later, after his father's death, some troubles gradually spread. People in the palace often said that He He was as bitter and mean as her biological mother.
No respect for the true mother and concubine. But I know that’s not entirely the case?
At that time, Concubine Xin was still in the palace, and Concubine Zhenmu and Concubine Zhenmu lived in the same palace. Concubine Zhenmu was so sad that she often cried day and night and had difficulty swallowing food. Concubine Concubine Zhenmu would take me to see Concubine Zhenmu every time.
When they arrived, they all said to the guarding He He: "Good boy, your brother Jin Wang is not here, so you have to stay with your mother and concubine. Do you understand?"
At that time, He He would always nod obediently and send us mother and daughter out quietly. Until one day, I went to find Concubine Zhenmu to practice calligraphy, and I heard He He’s sharp shout from a distance. It was like “Concubine Mother” that I had never heard before.
, tell me, how did my biological mother pass away?"
Concubine Zhen's voice also came one after another: "What's wrong with your child? Hu Cairen has always suffered from asthma, and he died of it in the end. You don't know this."
Sister Hehe became more and more excited and said, "Concubine Zhenmu, do you think I am a little baby? I heard everything you said to Aunt Jiejie yesterday. It was her, too,, um." The next voice was inaudible, as if it was Zhen's.
The mother-in-law covered her mouth and scolded her in a low voice.
Although I seemed to understand these words at that time, I also knew that I shouldn’t let Concubine Zhen know that I heard these things. I quietly and slowly slipped away. Because I didn’t take it too seriously, I didn’t even tell my mother after I returned.
concubine.
But within a few days, news came that Auntie Kikyo was getting married. It was not uncommon for a palace maid to get married with the grace of her master, but Kikyo was already over 30 years old, and everyone thought she would serve Concubine Zhenyi until she grew old, and it was clear that
She had such a dignified status as a dowry maid, but she hastily married off to another place, and she seemed to have no contact with her until she died.
Concubine Fu once chatted with her mother-in-law and said strangely: "This is really not like sister Yan Yi's style. Could it be that Platycodon did something bad?"
The mother-in-law also sighed, "Who says it's not the case, but for a good-natured person like Sister Yan Yi, even if she is frightening, she has some faults, so she has no choice but to let her go like this."
Suddenly, I remembered He He's sad and angry question, and suddenly I felt like I understood something.
That night, I told my mother and concubine about this with full of doubts. Her expression changed as I expected, but she did not forget to tell her: "Pei'er, forget about this and never mention it to others again."
Of course I agreed, but people are naturally curious and tend to pay attention to secrets. I know that misfortune comes from the mouth. But there are mothers and concubines who always keep secrets in their stomachs and won't tell me, and I won't be allowed to talk about it anymore. Obviously we
He is the closest person, shouldn't he be able to make an exception?
Later, it wasn't until I became a mother that I understood the painstaking efforts of my mother-in-law. She just tried her best to make my life stable. She couldn't do the best, but she really gave her best.
From then on, He He's notoriety gradually spread, and the meager mother-daughter relationship between her and Concubine Zhenmu was also extinguished in mutual suspicion and quarrels. Gradually, He He truly became the daughter of her adoptive mother when her biological mother was away.
Not in love, she became more and more arrogant and unruly in the eyes of everyone. Naturally, the Queen Mother was even more displeased. She did not make an engagement until she was 18 years old. Whoever mentioned it in the palace would not secretly joke: "Old girl"
Today I saw Concubine Zhenmu supporting her son and coming with a happy smile. She just thought Hehe was not coming because she was sick, and didn’t expect that the banquet had already started, so she came late. I took a sneak peek and saw that the mother’s back was like sinking water, and I couldn’t see it.
He was happy and angry, but the emperor's brother was a little hesitant.
Today, He He is wearing a Yao red heart-warming tube top with a light-colored peony flower floor-length skirt, and a haze-colored armband on his arm. The whole person is like being held in a sea of flowers. Even I, who have always disliked her, have to admit that
, the petite guest's facial features are as delicate as jade and ice sculptures. Compared to sister Wen Yi's gracefulness and sister Lingxi's purity, her appearance is on par, and only the budding snow soul can surpass it by three points.
She walked over with the same cold look on her face and saluted under the throne. The Queen Mother called her up and asked: "I heard from your mother and concubine that she was not feeling well when she came in. Why are you here?"
He said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. It's the Concubine Zhen who worries too much. The harmony has always been good."
These words didn't mean much at all, but when she said them, it was a little awkward. The emperor asked: "Since the emperor has nothing to do, why did she come at this time? Could it be that Wu Changqing didn't tell the time clearly?
?”
He Hu said: "No, perhaps the father-in-laws felt that I had nothing to do with the important matter, and no one informed me at all." After a pause, he added: "I live close to Yin Wanyi, and I didn't know until I saw her driving that the emperor was doing something for the Queen Mother today.
life."
At this point, even I could tell that it must be Concubine Zhenmu who was afraid that He He would cause trouble on her birthday, so she simply kept it secret from both parties and refused to let her attend. He He may not be at peace with her if you don't mess with her, let alone being put in a relationship for nothing.
, it would be strange if it didn’t happen.
At this moment, Yin Wanyi left her seat and paid homage: "Queen Mother, please calm down. It turns out that the Dowager Princess felt that the Emperor Ji was not living with her, so she asked my concubine to tell the Emperor Ji. I was young and carelessly forgot about it. Please, the Queen Mother."
Punishment.”
The Queen Mother gently scanned the crowd, her eyes fell on Yin Wanyi, and said: "How could you betray the trust of Princess Zhenyi.
Yin Wanyi just said: "I know that I am guilty."
Everyone at the table looked at them with cold eyes. Even as young as me, I understood that although the Queen Mother's words sounded blaming, they had already finalized the matter. Many things in the palace are like this. You can't be wrong and I can't be wrong. But
There must always be someone who is at fault. The key is when and who should take responsibility for the mistake.
But some people didn't understand this, and He He said coldly: "Wanyi doesn't have to be like this. How can the concubines take care of the emperor's travels? I'm afraid some people will blame you for letting me know about this matter, so why do you have to take care of everything?"
of."
These words taught Yin Wanyi how to bear it. She didn't know how to deal with herself at that time. The Queen Mother looked at He He and said warmly: "I heard you say everything is fine. At first, Ai Jia still had doubts, but now it turns out that it is not bad. He He, since
You are in such good spirits and are devoted to being a mother, so it is hard for the Ai family to refute your intentions."
I was confused and just stared blankly. The Queen Mother continued: "Emperor, the Ai family remembers the ancestral rules. It is the first draft since the emperor ascended the throne. He will not go to the palace in the summer, right?"
The emperor's brother said: "It's exactly like this after returning to my mother."
The Queen Mother added: "Even so, we still have to take care of it. Taiping Palace has always had rules, so I'm not afraid of it. It's just that the place where strange animals are kept in Mingyuan has been a bit deserted since the death of the late emperor. He He is so capable, why not just do it for him?"
If the Ai family is worried, go to Mingyuan to take care of it."
What does this mean? It has always been the responsibility of the palace maids to take care of the royal gardens. No matter how favored He He is, she is still the biological daughter of the late emperor. What's more, Ming Yuan is not as good as Taiping Palace. The summer is extremely hot and there are swarms of mosquitoes. If you stay there permanently, you will have to endure hardships. It's a headache, not to mention that according to the Queen Mother's wishes, she still doesn't know when she can return to the palace. This is indescribably anxious and embarrassing for a woman who is about to get married.
Even if Harmony is sharp, how can she dare to go against the Queen Mother? I clearly saw her biting her lips and keeping her manners to thank her. Lord Chengyi chuckled and said: "The Queen Mother is wise, who doesn't know that Di Ji has been with the Queen Mother since she was a child? We have a fate in Ming Yuan, but I have provoked the bear to break the cage, so this can be regarded as repaying the fate."
Her words were so harsh that even Marquis Weiyuan couldn't help but frown. But the imperial brother said: "Well, since the imperial sister is going to Mingyuan, she should go back early to prepare. Ask Li Panshi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hurry up. Don't treat Di Ji badly."
After signing the contract, please comment, follow, and reward.
Emperor Hemu was also not angry with Zhen Huan because her mother Hu Yunrong loved her so much.
