Your daughter's strategy

Speaking of such rules, those taught by Nanny Xu are obviously not enough. Xu Miaoyun felt embarrassed, but Nanny An said that this must be learned, and even the old lady Xu echoed what Nanny An said, She could only pack up her mind and start learning.

As for being served by so many people, Xu Miaoyun has been used to it for a while, let alone serving people, she can't do that low-browed and pleasing look at all, and Nanny An frowned several times, very dissatisfied.

Although she is the queen, she is also the emperor's woman. Serving the emperor to change clothes, bathe, and eat when necessary is not only a rule, but also a kind of fun between husband and wife. Mother An feels that if Xu Miaoyun does not change this problem, at most It's the same as Empress Tang, who is now the Empress Dowager.

Empress Tang just put on airs and couldn't put it down. The first emperor felt that the husband and wife were not affectionate at all. Seeing how concubine An Gui could coax people, she served the emperor happily and spoiled her for decades. On the surface, Xu Miaoyun wanted to learn from Tang. The empress is dignified and virtuous, but secretly she has to imitate Concubine An's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, so that two prongs can be used to please people, right?

But Xu Miaoyun couldn't learn it. She felt that acting like a baby was completely fine, but it was a bit difficult to lower her figure to serve others, because she had never served anyone since she was a child, and her own clothes were worn by others. , Asking her to wait for others to dress is simply an impossible task.

Nanny An couldn't do it, so she had to tell her about the concubines in the palace. Those who don't dare to say it now, just use the previous court to talk about how a certain concubine got favored, because she violated the emperor's will, not only was she thrown into the cold palace .It also hurt the family.

A certain concubine, who climbed up from the bottom, relies on the word "submissiveness". The emperor likes it, so he puts you in his heart. Otherwise, who will the emperor remember if there are three thousand beauties in the harem?

There are also those who have not seen the emperor in the palace for 30 years, and there are many people there, in a word.The women in the palace live by the emperor's favor. If the emperor likes it, you will be beautiful. If the emperor doesn't like it, you will be a grass, a piece of mud...

Xu Miaoyun was taken aback when he heard that.For several days, I have been obedient and obedient, and I will do what I am told.

Mother An felt that this method was useful. Xu Miaoyun herself was not afraid of anything, but her family was her weakness. She had said a lot, and she was afraid that only the sentence that would hurt her family would be heard by her.Nanny An grasped one point and told her about the queens in history who disobeyed the emperor and brought their families down.

Xu Miaoyun was depressed after hearing this for several days.Mother An was afraid of the opposite, so she found a few models of empresses to persuade her: "Empress Xiao Jing of the previous dynasty came from a humble background, and her appearance was not outstanding, but she was very virtuous. The biggest regret was that she did not give birth to a son. But she respected her very much, and even handed over all the princes born to other concubines to her to raise. She also showed favor to the natal family of Empress Xiaojing. Later, Empress Xiaojing passed away. Emperor Deyuan was very sad and never made a successor. It can be seen that the empress This position is not something that can be fulfilled by a noble birth or a country that is all over the country. It depends on the word virtuous, that is, an ordinary family. That is to marry a wife and a virtuous. If you can save a lot of worry, not only the emperor respects you, but also the ministers in the court will respect, just like the empress Xiaozhen in the previous dynasty, Emperor Chengen only favored Concubine Xiao, and he wanted to abolish Empress Xiaozhen and replace Concubine Xiao as the queen. But empress Xiaozhen's virtuousness is known to everyone, and the ministers knelt in front of the hall and begged bitterly, which made Emperor Cheng'en take back his will."

Xu Miaoyun's expression was calm when she heard this, but she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Nanny An only allowed a little ice during the day, and at night she would rather let the two maids take turns fanning than using ice, saying It's easy to get sick if you're soaked in cold air, and Xu Miaoyun doesn't like to have someone next to her when she's sleeping, so she can only lie on the bed and fan herself.

And she was also a little sad. In fact, when Bo Rang was still the king of Ancheng County, she knew that she might be a queen in the future. If it is the prince, she is the princess, and she can always wait until the day when she becomes the queen.

But it's one thing to have that awareness, and another thing to really face it. The old affairs of the palace that Nanny An told her these days made her realize more and more clearly that being a queen is not only a beautiful thing, Still a very dangerous thing.

If you can't give birth to a son, you will be abolished on the grounds of childlessness. Of course, you are not divorced and let you go back to your mother's family like ordinary people, but choose another palace, which is probably a cold palace.

If you don't agree to accept concubines for the emperor, you will be abolished on the grounds of jealousy.

If you make a mistake, you will be disrespectful to the emperor and you will be punished.

In the future, if there are concubines, the concubines will be jealous, and the harem will be restless, it is also the queen's dereliction of duty, and it is also wrong.

……

The more Xu Miaoyun thought about it, the colder her heart became, and she felt a little regretful for a while.

She sighed, put down her fan, and fell into a daze.

Suddenly hearing the window coffin being tapped three times, he was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was he who had come.

If it was before, I'm afraid that she would open the window in surprise and joy, but today she was in no mood, she just lay face inside on her side, pretending to be asleep.

The sound of knocking on the window stopped for a while, and then it rang again, this time only once, Xu Miaoyun heard someone rustle into the inner room, opened the window gently, and heard the sound as if it was eight people who were on duty outside. One of the court ladies, Xu Miaoyun remembers her name as Jin Zhi.

Jin Zhi said softly: "The empress is already asleep."

Bo Rang outside was a little surprised. He signaled Jin Zhi to step back and jumped in through the window. The moon was shining brightly outside, but the room didn't feel dark. Maybe it was because he was afraid of the heat. The bed curtain was not put down, and he could clearly see the person lying on the bed. .

Because he was lying on his side, Borang didn't see her face, but he felt that the room was a bit stuffy, so he picked up the palace fan beside him and fanned Xu Miaoyun with light hands and feet, as if afraid of waking her up.

The cool wind blew over her body, dispelling the heat, and making Xu Miaoyun's heart more bitter. She waited for a long time but did not see the other party put down the fan. Her movements were always gentle, and the wind was not in a hurry.

Tears welled up uncontrollably and fell on the wisteria cushioned pillow.She slid down to the lying Xiangfei bamboo mat, one after another, her shoulders twitched uncontrollably, and she whimpered softly.

This startled Bo Rang, he thought that Xu Miaoyun was trapped by a nightmare, so he quickly put down his fan and hugged her in his arms, the person in his arms finally cried out, his body was trembling, and his face was covered with tears.Bo Rang felt very distressed, hugged her chest and kept coaxing: "My dear, my dear, you are dreaming, don't be afraid..."

Jin Zhi outside also heard the voice, hesitating whether to come in or not.Mammy had told her that if the emperor came, no one would bother her, but the voice inside sounded like she was crying.

Seeing that he thought he was having a nightmare, Xu Miaoyun only thought that she really had a nightmare, and stretched out her arms to hug him.He murmured, "I'm afraid."

Berang's heart seemed to be pulled into a ball, distressed and distressed.The voice became softer and softer: "Miaomiao is not afraid, I am here with you, it is all a dream..."

Seeing that Xu Miaoyun was choking and struggling to control himself, he called out in a low voice, "Come here."

Jin Zhi, who had been waiting outside, hurried in with her head bowed. Bo Rang's voice was a little low for fear of disturbing others: "Give me a basin of water and a cup of tea."

Jin Zhi first poured a cup of tea for Bo Rang.He quietly went out to serve water again, lamenting in his heart how much the emperor loves the empress.

Bo Rang gave Xu Miaoyun a glass of water.Seeing that she finally stopped crying, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still hugging her tightly, very attached, Bo Rang's heart became softer, Jin Zhi brought water, twisted the veil and handed it to Bo Rang, Bo Rang carefully She helped Xu Miaoyun wipe away her tears, but after crying like this, her face turned red, fearing that it would swell up tomorrow, Bo Rang took a wet handkerchief to ice her again.

Xu Miaoyun sighed comfortably, and slowly fell asleep, she didn't even know when Bo Rang left, but Jin Zhi could see clearly, the emperor hugged the queen in his arms like a child, and did not leave until dawn.

The next day Jin Zhi came in to serve Xu Miaoyun, she was more respectful subconsciously, but Xu Miaoyun had a bad memory, forgot what happened last night, yawned and asked Jin Zhi to help her dress, and when she washed her face, she touched it. The stagnation on his face made him stunned for a moment, slowly recalling what happened last night, he was stunned for a long time before giggling, which made Yinzhi, who was holding water beside him, full of panic.

Seeing her understanding, Mother An took a moment to call Jin Zhi out: "Did the Emperor come again last night?"

Jin Zhi nodded lightly, seeing that there was no one around, and then said what happened yesterday: "...the emperor's love for the empress is extraordinary."

Nanny An has been in the palace for decades, she hasn't seen or heard anything, she just sighed and said: "I just hope that the empress will give birth to a son soon, otherwise this favor won't last long."

Jin Zhi is also silent, the royal family is different from ordinary people, ordinary people only accept concubines when they have nothing to do for three years, but in the palace, if they are not pregnant for half a year, the ministers will ask for concubines. In front of his eyes, the emperor's favor was also separated, and the love turned from strong to weak, which is common.

Bo Rang returned to the palace, but he didn't let go of the heart he was holding. He ordered Xiao Tingzi, who served beside him, to go to the imperial hospital to ask what medicine to take if he had a nightmare. When I went to the Imperial Hospital, I invited Dr. Wu, the judge of the hospital, over.

Physician Wu was also at a loss. After seeing Bo Rang and asking, he suddenly realized, and said: "I think about it every day and dream about it at night. A nightmare must have encountered something bad during the day, and will be frightened at night. Two pills of Concentrating and Calming Pill will be enough, the most important thing is to relax your mind."

Borang was thoughtful, and Xu Jinghuan got off the court and said, "What is Miaoyun doing recently?"

Xu Jinghuan frowned. To be honest, he hadn't seen him for several days, but he heard from his grandmother that he seemed to be learning the rules from Nanny An, so he said it. Bo Rang nodded, and called Nanny An into the palace the next day. Ask her what rules she taught recently, how did she scare Xu Miaoyun into nightmares at night.

Mother An was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "How dare the servants scare the empress, but I just taught some rules for serving the emperor to change clothes and eat."

Bo Rang said with a cold face: "Nurse An, I respect you as someone who is close to the Empress Dowager. You must also know how to measure. There are some things you can say, and some things you shouldn't say. This time it's fine. You take the imperial doctor The sedative medicine prescribed will go back to Haosheng to serve, if there is a next time, I will not dare to use you."

Nanny An repeatedly said yes, but Bo Rang was very heartbroken. Miaoyun was so carefree, lively and simple in the past, why did she have a nightmare?It was obvious that Nanny An was frightened by talking too much about the battles in the palace.

Mother An couldn't care about seeing Xu Miaoyun when she went back, so she pulled Jin Zhi over to talk, and said nervously: "The emperor came up that day. Did you hear that the empress complained to the emperor?"

Jin Zhi felt baffled: "No, the empress was asleep when the emperor came, and I opened the window, so I didn't dare to stay too long. I listened outside for a while, but there was no sound from inside. The empress was stunned, crying non-stop, and the emperor kept coaxing her."

Nanny An wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.Take the sedative to see Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun was happily playing Shuanglu with Cen Han and Xu Jinghan, when she saw Nanny An came in and smiled, "Where has Nanny been for most of the day?"

Cen Han complained with a smile: "Nurse An, Miao Yun ate a chilled plum while you were away."

Xu Miaoyun argued: "No, it's just a small sip." Mother An smiled uncomfortably, and didn't say anything to teach her a lesson.

Xu Miaoyun was very surprised, and said: "What's wrong with Mammy? Are you feeling unwell?"

Nanny An shook her head again and again.He hurriedly said: "The servant was ordered to go to the palace and brought some tranquilizing medicine."

Xu Miaoyun was puzzled: "What are you doing with the tranquilizing medicine?" Then she suddenly realized: "Is it for me?"

Xu Jing smiled and said, "Why are you restless?"

Xu Miaoyun was a little embarrassed, knowing that Bo Rang must have created this tranquilizing medicine. He must have cried that day because he was in a bad mood. He thought he was having a nightmare, so he quickly explained: "I'm fine at all, mama, put away the medicine." .I don't need to eat that."

Mother An actually didn't say a word, but retreated obediently.

Even Cen Han felt strange: "What happened to Nanny An?"

Xu Jing smiled and said: "I must be blamed. I didn't take good care of you." Then she felt strange: "How did the palace know that you had a nightmare?"

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help feeling guilty, and changed the topic by haha, Xu Jinghan smiled slightly, knowing it in her heart, but didn't point it out.

At night, under the persuasion of Nanny An, Xu Miaoyun still took a tranquilizer, but she still woke up in the middle of the night.

Xie Zhilan had a seizure in the middle of the night.It was about to give birth, and the whole Xu family was shocked.As soon as Xu Miaoyun heard about it, she got up and put on her clothes and went to Xie Zhilan's yard. Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu entered the delivery room. Elder Xu, Xu Runan, Xu Jinghuan, and Yan Jingyi were all there outside, especially Xu Runan, who was so anxious Go round and round.

After a while, Xu Jinghan also came over, and stood quietly by the side. Xu Miaoyun was a little worried when she heard the suppressed cry of pain inside, and held Xu Jinghan's hand, and Xu Jinghan gave her a comforting look , but there was no movement for a long time, and finally Yan Jingyi couldn't sit still anymore, and helped the girl into the delivery room, but also went in and didn't come out.

Xu Run'an was so anxious that he called a little girl, "Go in and see what's going on."

The little girl agreed, and ran into the house and came out after a while: "The eldest young mistress is in good spirits. The child is not yet born, and she is eating. The woman Wen said that she has strength after eating, and the childbirth is going well." Xu Run'an was in a hurry. Nodding: "Yes, yes, eat more." Knowing that the doors and windows are closed, she still craned her neck to look.

At dawn, Xie Zhilan gave birth to a daughter.

Although he is not the grandson he was looking forward to, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu are still very happy to see the beautiful baby. Mrs. Xu is even more cheerful, and said with a smile: "This is the eldest granddaughter of our Xu family. Be well Take a name."

Xu Jinghuan said with a smile: "Is it uncle who will take it or let elder brother take it?"

Master Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll take it, Mrs. An'an's heart." Xu Jinghuan couldn't deny it, and followed Master Xu to the study.

Although Xu Jinghan and Xu Miaoyun couldn't enter the delivery room to see Xie Zhilan, they still took a look at the infant baby in the inner room. The skin was red and wrinkled, but the hair was black and oily.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "The skin is red now, and it will be fairer when it grows up. Look at this black hair. It must be a beauty when it grows up."

Xu Runan sat next to Xie Zhilan and watched her eat brown sugar boiled eggs. Xie Zhilan was a little uncomfortable, afraid that Xu Runan would regret not being her son, but Xu Runan seemed to see her thoughts, and said with a soft smile: "Just take care of your body Well, grandma said, it's a good omen to bloom first and then bear fruit." Xie Zhilan's eyes became hot, and she quickly lowered her head.

Master Xu named the baby girl Wanning. Some of them were called Big Sister, and some were called Sister Wan. But Xu Miaoyun was very rare for the child. She wanted to fight over and hug her, but Xu Jinghuan stopped her: "You are clumsy!" Yes, the child is still young."

Mrs. Xu taught Xu Miaoyun: "Hold her butt with one hand and hold her neck with the other. Her bones are weak now, and she can't raise her head."

Xu Miaoyun's posture was clumsy, and she didn't dare to move at all, but Sister Wan burst into tears. The nanny quickly took it and looked behind the screen, only to find out that she had peed, and hurriedly changed a clean diaper.

Everyone in the Xu family liked the little sister Wan very much. When it was time for the three rites, the Xie family, the Yan family, the Su family and other close family members came to congratulate her. At least, everyone who sees her will praise her as a beauty.

People also came from Prince Rui's mansion. After all, Xie Zhilan is the niece of Princess Rui. Princess Rui didn't come, but Zuo brought her son Prince Anzhuo. Her second son was only three months old. Two days after finishing the hundred-day wine, she didn't bring her over. Now that she has two sons by her side, she is proud of her spring breeze, and she came to Xu's house with Princess Rui's order to support Xie Zhilan.

Concubine Rui said that she was afraid that Xie Zhilan's daughter Xu family would be unhappy, but Mrs. Zuo came to take a look. Although it was only for the third time, the Xu family managed it very decently. Mrs. Xu even told Mrs. Yan how many people to invite for the full moon wine How many people were invited for the hundred-day wine and birthday ceremony, and they were very proud when they spoke: "This is the eldest granddaughter of our family. The old lady will not let go of her if she likes it." ,intimate. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
