The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 124

The Empress Dowager said a few words to Baozhu and said, "How is the injury on your face? Do you want to let the imperial doctor take a look?"

Baozhu said, "Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern, this injury has lasted for more than a year, I'm afraid it won't heal, even if the imperial doctor looks at it, it may be useless."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "It's really a crime to be a good girl. Let Aijia see your wounds. If possible, you might as well let the imperial doctor take a look."

Baozhu took off the veil on her face, and the wound had turned into a red scar.

The queen mother took a look and was about to send the imperial doctor over.

Baozhu said with red eyes, "Queen Mother, don't bother the imperial doctor. Your Highness invited many doctors to look at it, but it was all in vain. I don't want to be disappointed anymore, so I might as well leave it alone." The wound on her face After all, it is a disguise, although it is realistic, it is frightening that the imperial doctor will reveal it at a glance.

This queen mother is also really cautious, she has to look at her scars every once in a while, but she is really afraid that the king of Shu will fall in love with her.

"Forget it, since you don't want to, Aijia won't force you." The queen mother said.She didn't really want the imperial doctor to help the concubine look at the wound, but she just wanted to see how the concubine's wound was doing, and she felt relieved when she saw that there was no improvement.

Zhao Chen came back after going there for an hour, the queen mother said with a smile, "Why is the emperor looking for you?"

Zhao Chen said, "The emperor wants his ministers to go to the fief in the northwest."

The queen mother nodded, "You are grown up now, and the concubine is married, so it's time to go to the fief. It's impossible to stay in the capital like this."

Zhao Chen nodded.

Baozhu was a little surprised, this seemed to be a few years earlier than in her previous life, but it was a good thing to be able to leave the capital earlier, saving the Queen Mother from always thinking about her and the King of Shu.

The queen mother gave a few more instructions before calling out, "Sister Yu, come forward."

Everyone first heard the sound of crisp bells, looked up, and a girl slowly walked in outside the hall. The girl was wearing a dove-feather-colored streamer, dark flower and cloud brocade palace dress, looking from afar, she had smooth and fair skin, Furong is like a face and willows are like eyebrows, with flowing eyes, she is really an outstanding beauty.

As the beauty moves, the little bell on her wrist will jingle.

Sister Yu, Baozhu couldn't help raising her eyebrows, she knew this girl naturally, she was extremely smart, she was proficient at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female celebrity, she was really proficient in everything, among the few concubines in her previous life, she was the most liked by the King of Shu.

Yumei stepped forward to salute the queen mother and the king of Shu, and the princess did not say much, and quietly stood aside with her head bowed.

The queen mother said to the king of Shu, "This is sister Yu, a girl adopted by the Ai family. I think you don't have many concubines in your backyard. The Ai family heard that you don't like them, but sister Yu is different. She is smart and beautiful. , do you like it? The Ai family will reward you as a concubine."

Zhao Chen's eyes fell on Mei Yu, and he nodded lightly, "Thank you, Queen Mother, I like it very much."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "As long as you like it." Turning her gaze to Baozhu, "What does the princess think? Although it is for the concubine of the King of Shu, you must agree to it."

Baozhu laughed and said, "The concubine will be very happy to have more people serving His Highness."

The queen mother nodded, "That's good. Speaking of which, the Ai family doesn't want to, but you have been in the palace for almost a year, and the stomach still hasn't recovered, and the Ai family has nothing to do. You also know that the king of Shu is in his twenties. , it won’t work if you don’t give birth to a child. But don’t worry, if other concubines give birth to a child, it’s okay to raise it under your name.”

"Thank you Empress Dowager." Baozhu sneered in her heart, she knew that Her Highness was poisoned and would not be able to conceive, but she still wanted to say such a scene, this Empress Dowager is really a snake.

After the Queen Mother explained a few more words, Zhao Chen led Baozhu and Yumei back to the palace.

When I came here, I took a carriage. At this moment, sister Yu naturally followed into the carriage. Although she is a noble concubine, she is also a concubine. She kneels and sits in the corner consciously. Only the King of Shu and Baozhu are sitting. of.

After getting into the carriage, the King of Shu's complexion was not very good. Baozhu knew that he was in a bad mood again, and Yumei was the Empress Dowager's servant, so it was impossible to say anything to the King of Shu in front of her.

Yumei is very good at observing words and expressions. Although she knows that the king of Shu is in a bad mood, she doesn't know why for a while.

When the carriage arrived at the palace, Zhao Chen directly left the two of them and strode back to Yilan Courtyard. Baozhu didn't bother him, and besides, he had other things to do, so he arranged a place for Yumei.

It was time to set off for the feudal land, and Baozhu didn't arrange a new yard for Yumei, but let her live in the Lanting Courtyard, which also had a small courtyard, enough for her to live in.

After thanking her for her kindness, Yu Mei went to the Lanting Courtyard, and didn't wander around, staying quietly in the room, waiting for the tea ceremony tomorrow before getting to know the other concubines and side concubines.

Zhao Chen just went to Moyin Courtyard at night, his temper disappeared, and he sat on the imperial concubine's couch with his arms around Baozhu and talked.

Baozhu said, "Your Highness, when will you leave for the fiefdom?" Brother Sheng's leg still needs to be needled for half a month, and the ointment is not enough, so she is a little worried.

Zhao Chen said, "One month later, there will be preparations here, and you should finish everything as soon as possible."

Baozhu nodded, "Your Highness, I have arranged for Yumei to stay in the Lanting Courtyard, and I will be leaving Beijing in a month. How about wronging her for a while?"

Zhao Chen glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "Whatever you want, you are the mistress of the palace, you can just follow the arrangements for these matters, and you don't need to inform me."

This month, Zhao Chen has also become busy, and Baozhu is even more busy. Every day, he has to give Brother Sheng an injection, and he has to go back to make ointment, and arrange affairs in the mansion. In such a large palace, almost all arrangements are made. , The people who need to be taken away need to pack up and salute, and they can only rest at Haishi almost every day.

Fortunately, half a month later, Brother Sheng didn't need to have an injection anymore, he only needed to apply the ointment for two months and healed up. They were rushed out.

The next morning, I took these ointments to Sheng's house, met Gao Yang, and handed over the ointments to her, "Ayu, this is the ointment for the next two months, and I will leave it to you. We are about to leave for the fiefdom, and it will be difficult to meet again in the future."

Gao Yang was taken aback, "Why so suddenly."

Baozhu laughed and said, "Since Your Highness is married, it's not good to stay in the capital, you always go to the fiefdom."

Adult princes basically have to go to the fiefdom, and they cannot return to Beijing without the emperor's summons. If they return to Beijing, it will be a felony.

Gao Yang felt a little melancholy, "It's not long since we met, and you're leaving again."

Baozhu laughed and said, "There is always time to meet."

The two of them didn't chat much, Baozhu still had a lot to do, and they still had to go to Rongfu.

Baozhu only went to Rong Mansion on the second day, and told her relatives about going to the fiefdom, even though the Rong family had expected it, she still felt a little bit hard to part with.

Cen felt even more uncomfortable and stuffed Baozhu with a lot of silver notes. Baozhu couldn't laugh or cry, "Mother, don't give it to me anymore. I didn't move the several 10 taels of silver notes you gave me in the bottom box. Besides, there are shops income or something."

Cen sighed, "What do you know? Your Highness's fief is in the Shu land in the northwest. The place is desolate. You can't take away your immovable property such as your shop, field and house, and you won't be able to take all your dowry with you in a short while. I think Come on, you might as well bring some silver with you."

Baozhu said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry about it, I have enough bank notes."

A few 10 taels of silver bills is a lot of money even for ordinary wealthy families, enough to make people jealous.

Baozhu talked all kinds of things, so Cen gave up the idea of ​​continuing to give her money.

After bidding farewell to the Rong family, Baozhu also got busy in the palace, doing various things, packing things, her dowry, His Highness's things, there were too many things, it was impossible to move them all at once, Baozhu only picked it up and was easy to carry Yes, as for the others, His Highness will arrange for them to be transported slowly.

There are also herbs in the backyard, and the orbs are all dug up with roots and soil, put them in flowerpots, and brought them to the back cover. These herbs are the most important things, and they can protect Her Highness when she is treated. The lotion stuff in the palm of your hand.

But these kinds of flowers and plants are too difficult to grow, and Baozhu is not sure whether she can feed them all the way, but if she doesn't take it with her, she will have to wait for death in the palace.

And Xiao Ba is naturally brought along too, Xiao Ba is already 12 years old, Baozhu knows that the average dog lives for 15 years is considered a long life, and 12 years old is considered old, but seeing Xiao Ba is still full of energy, It's not quite like entering old age.

She knew that lotion should be able to prolong life. The few crickets she raised when she was a child lived for five or six years, and the average lifespan of two years is not bad.

There are only three days left before the departure, all the work that should be done is over, and the King of Shu is also free.

In the early morning of the next day, Baozhu was rarely free, so she went to the Buddhist hall to read scriptures, and after she came out, the King of Shu was waiting for her in the room, "It's rare to be free today, and the weather is not bad, let's go to the garden and have a sit."

There is a large garden in the Wangfu, which is tended by gardeners on weekdays. Although it is not as good as those flowers in Baozhu in Moyin Courtyard, it is better in quantity. It is a large area, and it is also a good place to enjoy. place.

The two passed by the garden, and the maids put out pastries and fruit wine, Zhao Chen said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will go back to see your parents, after all, I don't know what year and month I will be able to come back once I have passed the fiefdom. "

When mentioning the Rong family, Baozhu felt reluctant, but she left all the fruit wine brewed over the years, hair oil, rouge powder, and many health pills, detoxification pills, and hemostatic wound medicines to the Rong family. I gave them all to the Rong family, and I only left a few pills for myself on the road.

Baozhu nodded, "Thank you Your Highness, I want to go back and see my parents tomorrow."

Zhao Chen said, "I will accompany you."

Just as he was talking, there seemed to be some noise not far away, Zhao Chen's face immediately darkened, and he walked towards that side.

Orb followed suit.

In the past, I found out that some maids were pushing and yelling at a maid, "Look at you, you are so pitiful now, there are no men here, who are you seducing!"

Baozhu took a closer look, she actually knew the maid who was being bullied, she was actually Bai Jingniang, the fifth elder brother almost helped Bai Jingniang to redeem her body before, but was accepted by the king of Shu who came out suddenly, she thought Bai Jingniang would be a messenger in the palace I didn't expect Fang Qie to be a maid.

Look at this dress, it seems to be a maid in the laundry room.

Baozhu was surprised, since His Highness didn't like her, why did he redeem her in the first place?

Bai Jingniang was trembling with anger, "Stop talking nonsense! Everyone is a maid, are you so humiliating?"

"Who's talking nonsense!" the maid said, "Look at your face, a maid in the laundry room dares to put on makeup, not to seduce a man, but what is she trying to do!"

The laundry room is not far from the garden, so it is not surprising that they are here.

Fudong saw that the King of Shu had a bad face, and stepped forward to scold him, "Presumptuous, who allows you to make noise here!"

When the maidservants turned their heads, they were startled, and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, my servant, and my concubine."

Zhao Chen frowned, and ordered Fudong, "Drive people out of the mansion!"

The faces of the maidservants turned pale with horror, and they didn't even dare to beg for mercy, only Bai Jingniang looked up at the King of Shu secretly, she was about to cry, she looked very pitiful.

Looking at the King of Shu, Baozhu knew that he must not remember Bai Jingniang, and she didn't feel a little funny in her heart, she just felt that this matter was not simple, otherwise the maid in the laundry room didn't wash the clothes well, and why did she come to the garden to argue? Bai Jingniang is also a scheming person, she should have done this on purpose.

Baozhu probably understood what Bai Jingniang was thinking, and she was about to leave for the fiefdom in two days. Bai Jingniang was probably not reconciled to being a maid now, and she was also thinking about the King of Shu, so she made such a move, trying to break it. Break the jar and see if you can hook up with the King of Shu.

Zhao Chen really doesn't remember who Bai Jingniang is, he will be very upset now, the good fun will be interrupted by these servants.

Seeing that the mother-in-law was about to drag them out, Baozhu suddenly said, "Your Highness, keep this one." Pointing to Bai Jingniang, "It just so happened that Pan Yun was sent out of the house, and this maid just happened to take Pan Yun's place and took a piece of her to fief the land." Bar."

Zhao Chen glanced at Baozhu, raised his eyebrows, "It's done, I'll follow your orders, I'll keep this one."

Bai Jingniang looked at Baozhu in surprise, and kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, Madam Wangfei, thank you Madam Wangfei." She naturally knew Wangfei, and it was Miss Rong Qi, she really was a fool.

Baozhu also secretly smiled in her heart, since you want to go to the fiefdom, you will be allowed to do so. Anyway, how to deal with it when you go to the fiefdom is not a matter of your own words. If you stay in the capital, don’t worry about it. What if you hook up with her fifth brother? Is good.

The next day, Zhao Chen accompanied Baozhu to the Rong's house for a day, and the Rong's family couldn't part with each other.

Soon it was the day of departure. There were more than 30 horse-drawn carriages and escorting officers, soldiers and guards for the luggage that went with the King of Shu and Baozhu.

The capital city is almost two thousand kilometers away from Shu.It's a long journey, and I'm afraid it will take two months.

Baozhu and the king of Shu rode in a carriage, and the rest of the concubines and side concubines, as well as the maids and servants brought by the mansion, all took several carriages, and this was only the maids and mothers who were with the king of Shu and Baozhu.
