Blessed

Chapter 80 The weather is getting warmer
Zhao Yi and the others are currently playing Pai Gow in De Concubine's bedroom, Zhao Yi naturally lives with De Concubine, De Concubine is a bit strict, and it is the same with her. Playing Pai Gow with Zhao Chan and the third prince and the fourth prince is not often played, it is just a kind of entertainment.

At this time of Chinese New Year, the third and fourth princes followed Emperor Ruiwu to discuss matters with the court officials, so naturally they would not go, only Zhao Yi, Zhao Chan, Shen Mei, and Yuzhu passed by, and the three little girls were having fun.

Shen Mei happily waved to Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, come here, let's play together."

The little girls all wear golden beans, which are used as a lottery head. Pai Gow is a domino. This domino is carved from ivory. It is very precious. The gameplay of this thing is also simple. The four little girls play it for fun. The third little girl was a little confused, because from the beginning to the end, Yuzhu never lost a game.

Even if she is the banker, the remaining few people have not won once, Zhao Yi said, "I still don't believe it, let's continue."

The consequence of continuing is that the bag of golden beans brought by the three of them lost to Yuzhu. Zhao Yi said with a mournful face, "Fuchang, how did you do it?"

"It's really amazing, is it also because of luck?" Zhao Chan looked at Yuzhu and murmured.

Zhao Yi stared at Yuzhu curiously, "Is it really so magical?"

Shen Mei nodded, "Don't you believe it, if Yuzhu is not lucky enough to be able to draw the lucky lottery of Master Guangji twice? A few years ago, I went out with Yuzhu to play the game of throwing circles, and I won all of them. I can't envy you. I guess, Yuzhu must have done a great deed in her previous life, and God is so rare in this life."

Even if the little girl has heard of it, she knows that such a blessing cannot be envied.Because of this, they didn't want to play with Yuzhu anymore, so they called the fourth prince, who was still young and about the same age as Yuzhu.

Yuzhu sat aside and ate fruits to watch them play, Zhao Yi was really unlucky, he lost all two bags of golden beans, Concubine De was afraid that she would play more, so she gave two small bags of golden beans.Yuzhu smiled and put the golden beans she had won on the table, "Take this to play, it's the end of the fight anyway, we don't gamble, after winning or losing, everyone will share the golden beans equally."

It's a good idea, I'm not someone who is short of money, and I don't want to make money when I play this game, but it's fun to pass the time.

The few people played until it was dark before leaving. During this afternoon, Yuzhu became acquainted with the second princess, the third princess and the fourth prince. They are not unruly and domineering people, and they have been taught very well.

When the people left, Zhao Yi lifted the corner of her skirt and ran to the dining room. The maids had already arranged the meals. Concubine De also had a headache when she saw her unruly appearance, so she reprimanded, "A girl's house should look like a girl's house. You can't stride too far, your father will see you running like this, and he will reprimand you."

Zhao Yi sat down, "Concubine Mu, okay, don't talk about me, I'm starving to death, hurry up and eat."

Concubine De helplessly sighed.

Zhao Yi couldn't stop eating, and told Concubine De that Yuzhu had never lost today, and she was very envious, Concubine De was also a little surprised, "Is it really so amazing?"

"Of course it's true, Concubine Mu, let me tell you, this county gentleman is also an interesting person, and I still like her a lot."

Concubine De said, "Since you like it, you can imitate the gentleness of other girls. You are too old, and you will be given a son-in-law in two or three years. With your temperament, what will you do then?" A frowning look.

Zhao Yi chattered to Concubine De that she would have more contact with Fuchang in the future, Concubine De had met Yuzhu a few times and thought that girl was pretty, so she didn't stop her.

After that, the two princesses Zhao Yi and Zhao Chan have been in contact with Yuzhu for a long time. They also like Yuzhu's temperament, easy-going, and get along very comfortably with her. As soon as the two princesses leave the house, they will definitely go to play with Yuzhu.

The Jiang family also regards the two princesses as little girls, and it's fine if Yuzhu likes to make friends, but it's just a joke between little girls.

The two princesses liked the pair of big rabbits in Yuzhu's house very much. They were amazed when they saw that they looked like a pair of big cats. Emperor Ruiwu laughed when he heard it, "This rabbit is very delicate, and it is only suitable for the southern part. The capital city cannot be kept alive. It was an accident for the Lord of Fuchang County. The little girl is blessed. Whatever she does, God likes her very much."

Zhao Chan said to Zhao Yi in a low voice, "Second Sister Huang, let me tell you, she must not be able to support her."

Zhao Yi also stopped thinking about raising rabbits. When the two princesses came out of the hall, they happened to run into the third prince who had come to discuss matters with Emperor Ruiwu. Zhao Min also looked at the two imperial sisters and said softly, "I'm a bit busy these days. I haven't seen you for a long time." Seeing the two imperial sisters, are they all okay?"

Zhao Yi said with a smile, "Third Emperor Sister and I are very good. Recently, we have played a lot with Fuchang County Lord of Jiangfu. She is a very interesting person."

"Oh?" Zhao Minyi narrowed his eyes, with a smile on his lips, "What kind of interesting person is he?"

Zhao Yidao, "She is really blessed and has an easy-going temperament. Sanhuangmei and I like her very much. She has a pair of rabbits in her house, which are fun. Brother Sanhuang, you should go and see them when you have time." She She is also a girl with a big heart, and it is normal for her to introduce her to her family if she thinks it is good.

Zhao Min also laughed lightly, "Well, if I'm free some other day, I'll definitely go and have a look." His eyes darkened, not knowing what he was thinking of, the two princesses couldn't tell, and left happily.

Zhao Min also entered the main hall and stayed with Emperor Ruiwu for more than an hour and returned to Qingsi Hall. Concubine Mu Gui was resting on the imperial concubine couch. The idea of ​​abolishing the prince has gradually disappeared in recent years. How can she not be worried? It took a lot of effort to get the emperor to move the idea of ​​abolishing the prince and making the third prince the prince.

It is naturally even more impossible to blatantly blow the pillow wind. Don't want to watch the emperor dote on her, but she is also a wise emperor.

She was thinking too much, she couldn't sleep well, she had some migraines, and it was useless to ask the imperial doctor to see her, she had a knot in her heart, and she couldn't get better if she didn't untie it.

Zhao Minyi half squatted in front of the couch and looked at Concubine Mu Gui. Concubine Mu Gui seemed to have noticed it, and then she woke up and sat up straight when she saw him, "Min Yi is back, what did you discuss with your father?"

"There was a snow disaster in Datong this year, and the father asked his ministers to discuss who would go to help the disaster."

Even if the country of Darui is rich and the people are strong, many natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be avoided. The floods in the south and the snow disasters in the north are difficult to solve.

Concubine Mu Gui nodded, "Then is there anyone for your royal father?"

Zhao Min also said, "Father thinks highly of the adoptive son of the Jiang family, Xie Che. He said that he had discussed the snow disaster in Datong in the newspaper, and he was very insightful. I am afraid that Father wants to let him go."

Concubine Mu frowned, "The Jiang family is also blessed. They have come from a down and out family to their current position. If Xie Che is successful in disaster relief this time, he will be promoted very quickly in the future. Could it be that the Jiang family is really as lucky as that little girl?" related?"

Zhao Min also said softly, "Concubine Mother, the second sister and the third sister are walking very close to Jiang Yuzhu."

Concubine Mu Gui's expression became solemn, and she said in a cold voice, "We took a lot of effort to win over the second princess and the third princess. She is capable of making them fall in love with her with a few words. Jiang Yuning is the prince's side concubine. , even if the Jiang family doesn't want to stand in line, since they are from the prince's side, she is not allowed to keep in touch with the second and third princesses like this."

Zhao Min also asked, "What advice does the concubine mother have?"

Concubine Mu Guifei lowered her eyes in thought, and laughed for a while, "I have an idea, Min Yi doesn't have to worry, I'll take care of this matter, but your father doesn't have the idea of ​​abolishing the prince now, as long as the prince doesn't make mistakes, I will I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, queen mother, there will always be a solution, and it is not appropriate to act rashly now."

Concubine Mu Gui sighed, "I know that too." After that, she thought of other things, "That concubine of the Mu family should be dealt with? It's been a few years since that bitch had an accident, and now that he died in an accident, he wouldn't Someone suspected something."

Zhao Min also comforted Concubine Mu Gui, "Concubine Mu, this is not urgent. He is just a concubine. What status can he have in the manor? There are many ways to deal with him. It is not appropriate to stand out now. You might as well wait a little longer. Right now, Jiang Yuzhu That's how things get resolved."

Concubine Mu Gui sighed, "The reason for letting you get in touch with the second and third princesses is just to win over Concubine De Xian. Concubine Xian has a weak personality, but Concubine De is not easy to fool. Forget it, no matter what, it is a good idea to get in touch with them more. There's no harm, you go back and rest first, I'll take care of Jiang Yuzhu's affairs."

Zhao Min also left, and Concubine Mu Gui leaned on the couch with a gloomy expression.

On this day, Emperor Ruiwu came to rest in the Hall of Qingsi as usual, and when he saw Concubine Mu Gui, who was wearing a plain satin robe and no makeup at all, her face was pale and frail, and he felt pity in his heart, "You are getting weaker and weaker, why don't you look for the imperial concubine?" Look at the doctor, there is no way to go on like this."

Concubine Mu Gui gently shook her head, her lips were pale, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your pity, my concubine is fine, but I have some migraine headaches, the emperor doesn't know that my concubine has this little problem, and it will be fine in a few days."

Emperor Ruiwu pushed aside the nine-flower tent, pulled Concubine Mu Gui to sit down on the purple jade coral screen couch, and stroked her hand pityingly, "Since you're not feeling well, let's go to rest earlier."

The two of them were served by the palace servants, took off their dragon robes, and lay down on the bed. Emperor Ruiwu couldn't sleep for a while, and talked about other things with Concubine Mu Gui. After talking for a while, Concubine Mu Gui said, "Your Majesty, In two months, the Empress Dowager will have her [-]th birthday, what is the emperor's plan?"

Emperor Ruiwu was not born to the empress dowager. The empress dowager was a queen at the beginning and was unable to have children. Emperor Ruiwu, who was born by a concubine, was sent to the empress dowager to be raised.

The emperor said, "The [-]th birthday is a whole life, so naturally we have to make a big deal. This matter will be handled by the concubine and the queen together."

Concubine Mu hesitated, "Your Majesty, the concubine is at the imperial temple, do you want to invite the concubine back?"

This concubine is the emperor's biological mother.

The emperor has a heart of filial piety, and he is very filial to the empress dowager and concubine. The concubine refused to stay in the palace because of the late emperor's passing away, and she had too much affection for him. She went to the imperial temple to accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns all her life. After all these years, she has been refusing to return to the palace inside.

"Toffee is afraid she doesn't want to come back, that's all, don't bother her."

Concubine Mu Gui sighed, "The concubine is also caring, but she eats vegetarian food and chant Buddha in the imperial temple alone, and there is no one around to serve her, so the concubine is really worried."

"Hey, it's not that you don't know the character of the concubine. She is the most stubborn. At the beginning, I persuaded her so many times, but she refused to return to the palace, saying that she would spend the rest of her life in the imperial temple. Over the years, I thought she would be even more incapable. Back to the palace."

Concubine Mu buried her head in Emperor Ruiwu's chest, "Your Majesty, this concubine has an idea. The concubine will live alone in the Imperial Temple for the rest of her life, and I'm afraid it will be very deserted. With some popularity, the concubine will gradually miss this world, and it will be easier to persuade her to return to the palace when the time comes."

Emperor Ruiwu played with her soft hair and asked, "Does my concubine want to find a maid to serve the concubine at the imperial temple?"

"Of course not." Concubine Mu Gui said, "The servants in the palace only respect the concubine, how can they be considered as companions? The concubine's idea is to find someone to accompany the concubine, to talk with the concubine to relieve boredom, this can be regarded as a There should be many girls from other families who are willing to be honored. Ordinary people cannot afford this blessing. Why not choose a suitable girl from the homes of princes, nobles or court ministers, about ten years old, and accompany them for a few years. At the age of marriage, the emperor will assign her a marriage, which is a great honor."

Emperor Ruiwu remained silent, obviously thinking about this matter.

After a long while, I asked, "Is there anyone to choose for my concubine?"

Concubine Mu said with a smile, "The concubine really has someone to choose. The fourth girl in the Jiang family is a good one. The concubine has met her several times. She is gentle and spiritual. The most important thing is that she has great blessings." I think the concubine will like her very much when she sees her. Miss Jiang Si is just ten years old this year. If she goes to accompany the concubine for a few years, the concubine can teach her many things, which other girls can't ask for. What does the emperor think?"

"I also think the fourth girl of the Jiang family is pretty good. If so, let's go to the Jiang family to announce the decree tomorrow."

The weather is getting warmer, and the trees in Jiang's Mansion are starting to sprout.

Early in the morning, Yuzhu woke up with sleepy eyes rubbing her eyes, licorice served her to dress and freshen up, and Yuzhu woke up after sitting in front of the makeup box. Looking at the buds on the branches outside the window, she laughed, "It's warm spring, really it is good."

Spring is always a vibrant season, and most people like this season very much, and Yuzhu is no exception.

Licorice looked out and said with a smile, "There is an elm money tree over there in the West Garden. In a month or so, you will be able to pick the elm money from it and eat it. The maidservant will steam the elm money for the girl to eat."

Yuzhu said happily, "I want to eat Yuqian Wotou, as well as Yuqian Soup and Yuqian Cold Salad." This food is good, it invigorates the stomach and calms the nerves, relieves cough and phlegm, and it tastes very fragrant. She goes to get licorice every year Doing and eating for several days.
