Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 67

I don't say this on impulse, the royal majesty, the emperor's concubine can also welcome her biological mother or adoptive mother to come out of the palace to make offerings, and share the family relationship.

When Concubine Demu heard the words, she said neither sad nor happy: "This is against the rules."

I didn't think she was refusing, but I still persuaded: "The emperor is the most benevolent and filial, and the empress dowager has always regarded you as a sister, so they will be a little more accommodating. Besides, although I am not as good as Sister Ouyue, I was raised by you. But I was taught and loved by you since I was a child, and now my mother is gone, don't you want to continue to treat me as a daughter?" As she spoke, there was a hint of tears, mother and concubine, how longed to leave the palace with me when she was alive !
Concubine Demu knew that I was sincere, sighed, took out her handkerchief to wipe my tears, and said slowly: "My good boy, I know that you really plan for Concubine Mu, there are indeed not many people left in Sanshou Palace right now. Well, I'm afraid I will be the only widowed old woman left when Yan Yi leaves the palace. But, boy, it has been 35 years since I entered the palace in the sixth year of Qianyuan. I am used to talking to people in the palace, and now no one When I was in the palace, I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. It’s really bad in the palace, but I’m already at this age, and I really don’t know how to live when I’m out of the palace.”

Concubine Demu speaks peacefully, and her words are calm.But whoever sounds calm and gets used to the court pays the price of decades of life.I know the words are from the bottom of my heart, and I can't persuade them any more.It's just that it's not easy to be blunt, and Concubine Demu persuaded me instead, saying: "I'll get used to it after living in the palace for a long time, not to mention that the emperor will have many children. I'm really not afraid of your jokes, the worst I've ever seen in my life." It is a sweet-smelling little doll, like the last time when Qingfu came to pay her respects, she accidentally sprinkled herself all over while drinking tea. I carried her down to change clothes, and the child's soft little hands kept grabbing me. You don't know how much that feeling is. Okay?" Concubine Demu said slowly, her glasses were shining brightly, it could be seen that she was really happy.That's all, although Concubine De's life has been rough, she is a strong person in life, and my pity is an insult to her.So I also changed my expression, and said angrily: "Look at what my concubine said, she seems to dislike me when I grow up, but I'm not as fragrant and soft as Qingfu, is it still stinky?"

Concubine Demu smiled, and said: "You are a narrow-minded girl, there are no ugly girls in sixteen or seventeen, and a girl like a flowery branch still thinks you stink, so don't I, my old woman, want to jump into the river? Speaking of which, you are not young, I Everything is fine, but it's too late in marriage?"

My heart twitched, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously wanted to twitch. Concubine Demu has a clear understanding of the facts, and she can be regarded as a strange woman.She has almost none of the problems of ordinary women, but in the past two years, perhaps because of returning to the palace affairs and staying alone for a long time, the harsh words have become more and more severe.In the words of the old people, the marriage of children and nephews is the first priority.As her intimate little padded jacket.My marriage has become the catchphrase of Concubine Demu. Its frequency of occurrence is comparable to "today's weather is really nice", saying that I have a copper face trained by a boudoir daughter. Tease the real little girl Xue Po.

Of course, Jili and I have been repeatedly postponed, which is the reason why our marriage is much later than our peers.In addition to the empress dowager taking care of her biological daughter Lingxi, the more important thing is because of the funerals of the elders.No matter how much Concubine Demu loves me, there is nothing she can do.In the end, it was nothing more than lamenting and sadness, and I got used to it after listening to it too much.

It's just that this time it's a little different, Concubine Demu changed the subject and said: "But this time it's all right, the consonance is settled, I also talked to the Queen Mother a while ago, she answered, although it hasn't been settled, but Isn't it a matter of no shadow?"

"Concubine Demu, what are you talking about? My biological mother has only been gone for more than half a year, and there is absolutely no reason to talk about marriage."

Concubine Demu said: "The Empress Dowager is still here, and you need to keep it for one year according to the rules. It's not that you want to discuss marriage now, don't make mistakes."

I calmed down, admitted my mistake first, and then asked: "You just said that Sister Lingxi has a score, I don't know how." This is a euphemistic way of saying, in fact, I just want to know who will get Sister Lingxi?
Concubine Demu glanced at me, and said with a half-smile, "Don't you ask yourself first?"

I meditated in my heart, no matter how filial I am, I am doing my filial piety...

Concubine Demu saw that I hadn't spoken, so she put away her jokes and said, "It is said that King Qinghe stayed in Zhili a few days ago just for this matter. His vision is always trustworthy, and finally brought He The eldest son of Jian Zhu’s family has returned. The Queen Mother has also summoned him, and the mother and son are of the same mind, so they hit it off right away.”

How about the Zhu family, I have never heard of it in the deep palace, and this is not what I care about. "What about Sister Lingxi, did you choose her husband and son-in-law, didn't you ask her opinion?"

Concubine Demu was stunned for a moment, then Fang said: "I haven't heard that she has objections to this."

For some reason, spring came late this year.It wasn't until March that the sun was a little warmer.The female relatives who held back a dynamic can finally come out to stroll around the courtyard, and I also feel a lot more cheerful, so I invite sister Lingxi to go to Chenxiang Pavilion for tea.

As soon as Lingxi sat down, she said: "I really don't know what you are thinking, but you didn't call Xue Po when you came to drink tea, but you came to call me. If you don't let her know, she will definitely laugh at you."

I said: "Drinking tea is just a cover. Our sister hasn't said something intimate for a long time. What do you want her to do as a child?"

Lingxi smiled, "Look at your tone, if you don't know which concubine I am talking to?"

"Sister, don't laugh at me." I also know that she must be thinking of me as a little girl like Xue Po, but it's better to draw out the words with a smile. "I really think that in the future, we should not have the time to sit and drink tea in the boudoir."

Lingxi's hand clinging to the purple sand pot paused, and said: "Unexpectedly, you also heard about it. This matter has not been cleared up yet. Is it the concubine Demu who leaked it to you?"

I signaled lightly, and the palace attendants went down one after another, and then I took a closer look at Lingxi. Her face is still beautiful, and with the skirt in the sky after the rain, she is really graceful and charming.It's just that her expression is as calm as before, without any shyness, but she is not sure if she knows about the Zhu family?But the words were rushed, and there was no reason to take them back, so I still thought about it and said: "I also heard that something good for my sister is coming."

Lingxi nodded, and said: "Although I have never met Mr. Zhu's family, my brother's vision is always good. The queen mother has decided to summon the Zhu family's mistress and Mrs. Tai. If there is no accident, the mother's birthday will be around. An order will be made."

That's it?She, who was crazy about love back then, was so calm about marrying someone she had never met before.It really made me feel a little unbelievable, so I had to persuade: "Sister is upright and spends her time, not to mention there is Sister Hehe on the top, but there is no need to be so anxious. Now that the world is at peace, I believe that the mother and the emperor are also willing to be happy with my sister." From Yining Palace."

Lingxi patiently listened to me, smiled lightly, and said: "A few days ago, Xue Po also called me out mysteriously like you. But she was in a fog for a long time, but she persuaded me again I wish you a noble family, and I wish you a gentle character." She paused, looked at me seriously, and said, "Actually, you and she are all afraid of my self-sufficiency. Others are My sister took care of my younger sister, but I taught you to worry, I feel very guilty."
