A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 6 Forbidden Court (6)
If things are accomplished, life and death are up to her; if things fail, life and death are still up to her. (3)
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed.The queen mother asked them to use the fruit, and sighed: "Since the two of you have entered the palace, you can open up your words. You have also seen that the official family has everything, and it is very hard work. In addition, he has never paid much attention to the relationship between men and women. There are still no heirs under my knees. There are many beauties in this harem, from concubines to nobles, there are 27 in total. None of these 27 ladies have been lucky so far. Isn’t it ridiculous? According to me, it’s not that the official family is not polluted by the world. , they are all incompetent. The two princesses come from noble backgrounds, and they are high-ranking, so they should be favored more than them."

In other words, if the official family is not lucky, they will not even be as good as the 27 imperial concubines, and they will have no face to walk around in the palace in the future.Sure enough, it's not easy to be a daughter-in-law, Mang Hua and Chi Ying exchanged glances, wanted to smile wryly, but swallowed it back abruptly.Yin Chongyuan didn't talk much, but his sentences showed their sharpness. It can be seen from the back and forth just now that he seems to be dissatisfied with no one.Yun Hua thought of those eyes, they were clear and straight, but separated by a layer of solid ice.He didn't trust anyone, with a swipe of the blade, the Chu River Han border, the emperor did this, and he really complied with that sentence.

The queen mother was eagerly looking forward to it, hoping that the arrival of the two princesses could inject new vitality into the Forbidden Court of Dayue.But this kind of thing can't be rushed, it always needs a process.The princesses are as tender as water, moistening things silently, the official family will loosen up one day.

"I've been busy all morning, and I haven't had a good rest. The princesses must be tired." The queen mother turned her face away and told her servants, "Lead the two princesses back to the cabinet and wait on them well. Order Huangmen, who is in charge of the Queen's Department, to preside over the matter. Whatever the princesses lack is up to them." After saying that, he said with a hammer on his shoulders, "As you get older, your whole body will ache after sitting for a while. Princesses, go, and when the official is free, ask him to take you to Genyue to relax. That place can be said to be heaven and earth, much more beautiful than Forbidden China."

The two got up and said Wanfu, asked the Queen Mother to take care of the phoenix body, and exited the Hall of Baoci in order.

Going to the palace gate, I saw Shizhao from a distance leading Aunt Jin and the others to wait in the aisle. Seeing her coming, he hurried forward to meet her.Because there were people on the left and right, it was difficult to open my mouth, so I asked her with my eyes.She smiled, reassuring them.

The head of the palace attendant led the way, turned around from time to time to greet carefully, and said with a smile: "There is a palace garden in the Xuanhe Gate, and there are many palaces and pavilions in the garden. The Queen Mother allocated Xiangluan and Yifeng Pavilions for the princesses to settle down temporarily. The minister has already The Shang Palace was dispatched to the pavilion in advance, and the princesses should take care of their lives and rest, if the Queen Mother and the officials have an invitation, I should send someone to pass it on."

Yan Hua said good, "We have caused trouble for you middle officials."

The head of the hall was a little surprised, probably didn't expect the princess to say polite words to him!After regaining consciousness, he hurriedly said: "Where, the princesses are very honorable, and they will be the masters of this forbidden court in the near future. I have the honor to serve you. It is because I burned incense in my previous life. The eldest princess does not need to be polite to me. My name is Qian Shi. Guan, when he first entered the palace, he was called Qian Wanmi. Later, the officials said that it was only a yellow gate, and Wanmi was afraid that I would not be able to take it, so he changed his name to Shiguan."

Yunhua couldn't help laughing, "Oh, Shiguan is a good name, it's easy to call it."

Qian Shiguan grinned, "The common people's wish is very simple, nothing more than wanting fields and land. The minister's parents have never been educated, so they naturally think that the more money the better." Laughing, he led them into the palace. Court.

Chi Ying was a little sullen, and his expression was not hesitant, but he cheered up when he saw that the two pavilions were not far away, and said: "I will open a window, and you can hear it if you call sister from afar!" He whispered in her ear, "I think the officials don't like me, if I'm sent back to Wurong, I'll lose face."

If you really like it or not, isn't she in a more difficult situation than her?Yan Hua had no choice but to comfort her, "The official remembers you, he is an old acquaintance, how could he not like you! You also said that he is not good at talking, and if he didn't have any displeasure just now, it means it is a good sign. Take it easy, the previous official You have also heard the few words my family said to me, if I really want to send someone away, it must be me."

As expected, Chiying's brows stretched out. After all, he was young, so he couldn't hide his complacency.In fact, Yun Hua is not much older than her, but her attitude towards the world is different from hers. Chi Ying always pretends to be innocent and harmless, but she would rather be sophisticated and tactful.Perhaps a lively nature can please the present, but this kind of innocence has never been lacking in the palace.A bow that is drawn too full is easy to break, and those who can be entrusted with important tasks are often those who are still in deep water.

Both of them had three-point reservations, but in the end they just looked at each other and smiled.Walking slowly with Qian Shiguan, they parted ways at the fork in the road and went back to their respective pavilions.

It was really tiring to deal with those people, so she went in and changed her clothes before lying down on the beauty couch.After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was sweltering, and the windows on all sides were opened. The maid lowered the begonia bamboo curtains, and the faint light came in through the gaps between the bamboo strips, cutting the gold leaves all over the place.There was a slight cool breeze, blowing her big sleeves that were hanging on the ground, and the sleeves were covered with a layer of snow-rolled veil, and when lifted up, it fluttered like a dream.

Chun Wo sat in front of her couch and played the fan, and asked her softly, "Has the princess seen the official family?"

She closed her eyes and hummed, "I see."

"How is it? Did the officials talk to you? But it went well?"

She opened her eyes, frowning slightly.Turned over to stand up, grabbed Chunwo's hand and said: "Nurse, he mentioned my background and relationship with Yunguan. I think this person is really scary. He is in the imperial city, but he has insight into the world. , I’m afraid that before I have any action, he will be executed in front of Xuande Gate.”

Chunwo tapped her lips and said, "It's nothing to worry about, your background doesn't hinder him in any way. All he wants is a woman who has something to do with Emperor Dasui, regardless of whether he is from Dawei or not. Besides, King Huaisi, you Only the two of you know about the matter between you. Without the order of your parents, without the words of a matchmaker, who can take it seriously? As long as you insist that it is just an old acquaintance, even if he wants to touch you, he has to worry about Sui Guo behind you .”

After hearing this, she looked back and said softly: "I said so, I'm afraid he won't believe it. This man doesn't look easy to fool, his eyes are like knives, he will make you shudder when he looks at you."

Chunwo looked at her sympathetically, "Are you afraid? I advised you when I was in Jian'an, some things should not be taken lightly. You are a weak woman, and you don't have any tricks to do it, why..." If you are in a hurry, you almost say it.She turned around and saw that there was no outsider in the dormitory, so she whispered, "It's not too late. If you don't want to take what Queen Mother Guo means, you don't have to pay attention to it. If you can ascend to the post, set your mind to follow Officials, you can do it. Think about it, the queen is not right, but you want to go back and live under the fence, and you will destroy yourself. What if you become the princess of the country, even if you are named the princess of the country, so what? Aunt Jin and Brother Fo, you can’t Too much trust, you have to reserve what you think in your heart. You have to walk the road by yourself, good and bad, sweet and bitter, you have to bear it yourself."

Yan Hua was panicked by what she said, thinking left and right and feeling aggrieved, he held her by the sleeve and said: "I know that mother is for me, but I have planned this for a long time, and there will be no change. What you said is, I What's going on with Yunguan, only I know. Whether it's worth it or not, I know in my heart."

Chunwo saw that she was determined, and knew that she would not be able to persuade her to come back. He had no choice but to ask her, "King Huaisi was sixteen when he left, so he is not too young... He never touched you?"

Yunhua blushed immediately, "Where did mother think, he is a scholar who abides by etiquette, and I also learned female virtues since I was a child, how could I do such a transgressive thing."

Chunwo breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I don't think you will, and I only ask you for peace of mind. I'm afraid you don't know the power of it, and you will be lucky later, and if you make a mistake, you won't be able to live."

She tucked her face in embarrassment, turned around and said nothing.Gradually, the breathing stopped evenly, and he probably fell asleep.Chunwo touched her neck to see if she was sweating.She always treats her as a child, she pretends to be strong in front of others, she looks very distressed.She was eleven months old when her father handed her over to her.I have worked so hard to feed her, and my heart will always be selfless to her.So what kind of hatred is not important in her eyes, as long as she lives well is enough.

However, Zonghua doesn't think so. Young people, with a fire in their hearts, can destroy the world for their loyalty.She is still young, know what is love?Maybe it was just the pain of losing her best friend, which made her mistakenly think that it was love.Maybe wait a little longer, and if you really become someone else's wife and the mother of a child, today's impulsiveness will seem ridiculous.

The sill window on the east side was opened too far, and the wind suddenly picked up, blowing the bamboo curtains up.Chunwo was afraid that she would catch the cold, so she was about to get up to close the door, when she raised her head and called again, "Mother, go pass the time photo, I have something to ask him."

Chunwo agreed, picked up the bead curtain and went out to call Foge.After a while, Shizhao came, and he stood outside the threshold and replied, "I will listen to the instructions of the eldest princess."

Yan Hua straightened his collar and asked him to come in, He Xu asked him: "How long have you been in the palace?"

Shi Zhao tucked his hands in and said: "I entered the palace at the age of seven, and it will be 12 years since the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."

She said oh, the ending sound was tactful, as if honey had passed, and she said softly: "You are sent to me by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (signed by the eunuch of the Song Dynasty, and called the Ministry of Internal Affairs together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty) Yes, once you enter my pavilion, you are one of your own. You also know that among the women who enter the court, there is no one who does not want to climb high, and I am the same. According to you, is this kind of thinking good or bad?"

Shi Zhao smiled slightly, "The subject is under the eldest princess's door, so he will naturally agree."

Everyone understands that when one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.Yun Hua was very satisfied, nodded and asked again: "Then where do the officials often go, do you know?"

An imperial city, with thousands of women, if you want to be quiet for a while, others may be actively planning.Opportunities once missed will never come again, so be pre-emptive.It doesn't have to be a collision to spark, sometimes a glimpse, but more meaningful.

Shizhao is a smart man, and this little favor can still be sold. He bowed his head and said: "The officials watch the court in the Zichen Hall and listen to the government in the Chuigong Hall. Besides, they occasionally go to the three pavilions of Baowen, Tianzhang, and Longtu. Read the classics. I just can't tell when, I will go once when I feel like it, there is no rule." After saying this, he looked up at her, "But every time you come here, you must send someone to inform you in advance. I have two close friends who work in the cabinet. Officer, if the Eldest Princess has an order, I am willing to share the worries of the Eldest Princess."

This is really timely news, Yan Huaxin smiled, "Zhongguan is considerate, if you can help me, I will achieve something in the future, and I will definitely not forget your benefits."
