Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 53 Honey Fragrance

Don't care about what you think on the surface, this news, no matter the master or servant in the palace, there is no one who does not say "Congratulations".After all, the emperor's brother is also at that age, and he really needs to get married and have children.The Empress Dowager paid special attention to it, and asked her to drive to visit her after she was done with her, and told her to take care of the pregnancy.

In fact, even people like me who don't lean too close to the Queen Mother can feel that the Queen Mother is getting more and more satisfied with Concubine Jin Gui.

Besides, what Concubine Zhen misses most is to see her daughter-in-law, and after the arrangements are made in the palace, she asks the Queen Mother to summon Mrs. He and her daughter to come in to enjoy the scenery.In order not to appear too abrupt, Weng Master Chengyi and Su Ling were also invited as guests.I will wait for several emperors to accompany me.

After the queen mother agreed, she also specially said: "Yan Yi has never done ordinary things all her life, and she will not entertain people for entertainment. However, Sister De has been a little bit bad these days. After you get married, you will always host the middle-level ceremony. , share your worries for your mother and concubine."

I swear in my heart that you are now the concubine mother of King Jin. Since your biological mother is useless, why not arrange it yourself, which is also generous and worthy of your name.

It was only later that I figured out that a person who lives as a queen mother does not live by fame.

Having said that, since she gave her orders, Xue Po could still be lazy in the hot weather, even more harmonious and unruly, he just did not listen.It's just a pity that I have to arrange some hospitality with the concubine Zhenmu.In fact, although Zhenmu Concubine is an unconventional job, she is not a hands-off shopkeeper. She takes me every step of the way, from the use of the palace gate carriage to the selection of the troupe.I have never done such an errand, and I made mistakes several times in my busy schedule. I was hot and tired, and I couldn't help complaining.

What a clever concubine Zhenmu is, I can't see it, but she is always kind and kind, she doesn't feel annoyed, she just ordered me to rest first, and then ordered Aunt Zhuru to serve sour plum soup.After I drank the iced drink, I calmed down a bit, and then I said: "Good boy, my concubine knows that you have worked hard, and the sisters are all there, but I only want you to follow along. I don't want to lie about the hard work of the capable. It’s just that old people often say that suffering is a blessing. Huai Shu, although you were born in the royal family, and you are free to act in the palace, but when you get married and start a career, you will be a married woman. It is inevitable to welcome and send you. If you are a young lady of a noble family, ten At the age of one or two, you have to be a director with your mother. Now you work harder, but you can get used to not posting things. Even if you are a princess, your in-laws have to watch others order dishes. If you are smart and capable, no one will dare to make mistakes: But if you If nothing can stand up, it can be confusing.”

I couldn't help but feel blushed after hearing this. In fact, how can I not understand such a truth?It's just that I'm tired and have a bit of a temper, but now I want Concubine Zhen to persuade me, I really don't look like an adult, so I hurriedly said: "Concubine Mother, I know, I will learn from you."

Concubine Zhen patted my hand and sighed: "You are the one who embarrasses me, who doesn't know that I am not good at public affairs. Sigh, I am not a likable person, always causing trouble for Pei'er."

I heard that something was wrong, so I asked: "Where did the concubine mother say this?"

"Do you still remember that before the draft last time, I first asked the Empress Dowager and Concubine De about their intentions. Then I summoned the show girl and hoped to find a suitable wife for your second brother. But something went wrong. It's a joke."

Hearing this, I roughly understood that this was about getting the second elder brother to meet Mrs. Li. It is said that Mrs. Li didn't lead the right master, but instead brought a concubine to act as a front.Later, when Li Fanshan was elected, Uncle Changning really wanted to marry his concubine daughter to King Jin.Later, the Empress Dowager strictly suppressed the matter, and it was only by accident that I learned about it.Naturally, I can't tell the truth in front of Zhenmu Concubine, so I had no choice but to say: "Don't talk about the past, now the He family's elder sister's matter has been settled, and the Empress Dowager also agrees, you just wait for it to happen and embrace your grandson!"

Concubine Zhenmu loves to hear such words the most, she really smiled when she heard the words, as if she remembered something, she looked around and raised her voice: "I don't need you to serve me, you go down first, Zhuru goes to guard outside the door."

Seeing the palace maids coming out, Zhenmu Concubine Fang said: "Zipei, Mother Concubine treats you as her own daughter, so she has more words. You must not be too careful."

Seeing her being so solemn, I couldn't help being more puzzled, and said: "My child naturally knows the loving heart of mother and concubine, just ask me."

Concubine Zhen had a worried expression on her face, and said, "Are you getting too close to the Empress Dowager's nephew?"

I twitched between my brows, and asked in surprise: "The concubine Zhenmu said, Zhen Zhiping?" Actually, this is nonsense, I never heard that the queen mother has a second nephew. "No? Consort Mu, why do you ask that?"

The last time I saw him was before Concubine Duan's mother passed away. It's been five or six months since I've spoken, so how can it be considered close?
Wait, Concubine Duanmu passed away.I suddenly thought of the sudden indifference and scrutiny of the queen mother towards me during that time, could it also be about this single seedling of her Zhen family?

Sure enough, I heard Zhenmu Concubine say: "I also found out by chance, and you also know that I live deep in the inner palace, and no matter how many famous ladies in the capital can't get in touch with, how can I see each other? I had to entrust Mrs. Chengyi to find and convey it on my behalf. So she When I come to see the Empress Dowager, I will go to the side hall of Yining Palace and wait. The three of us were talking that day, so Hua Yi hurried in and whispered to the Empress Dowager. I was close and heard the words "Emperor Ji" Words. I didn’t think too much about it at the time, plus what happened to Duan’s sister later.

But just a few days ago, Lord Chengyi didn't inform me to go when she came, I just thought that she thought the matter was done.But now that I know, I have to thank her for being a go-between, so I went to Yining Palace uninvited.At that time, Jinxi was guarding the door. When she saw me coming, she only said that she was going to report. When she didn't want to open the door, she heard the Lord Chengyi raise her voice, "Although the emperor is good, she is with the children of the family." After a generation, with such a close relationship, what can people say about Pinglang?" Although I was surprised at the time, I just couldn't understand it. I invited An Xieli and came back to think about it. It's just you and Xue Po, but Xue Po is the Empress Dowager's own daughter, so Weng Lord Chengyi would never dare to speak like this in front of the Empress Dowager. "

"Thinking about it further, Mr. Zhen has come to support you Fangchen whether you have held banquets or given gifts in the past two years. If you don't care about it, why would a person with his temperament bother to do so? And honey Hexiang is worth thousands of gold, he Give it away as soon as you say it, Pei Er, you have to pay attention. Just like what Mrs. Chengyi said, even though they are distant relatives, they are not in the same generation, and even though you are good, Mr. Zhen is the only son. In him, I am afraid that marrying a wife will be cautious"

I heard the rare nagging of Zhenmu Concubine, and even brought it up to the pros and cons of my marriage with Zhen Zhiping, I couldn't sit still, my cheeks were blushing and I used a round fan to cover it, and said hurriedly: "Mother Concubine, don't you want to be ashamed of the child?" What’s more, the Honey Hexiang is a gift from Brother Wang, Mr. Zhen is just running an errand.”

Concubine Zhen smiled, she didn't know where she was going with her usual demure, she just heard her say: "Why are you so careless with the old woman? Give it to the Zhen family, and your brother Wang doesn't have a wife or concubine to come as a gift? Why didn't you see him specially gift a box of Xue Po?"
