Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0008 Please go home, but please go, I still remember the rare heart of the past

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is very close to the Shoukang Palace. When Daiyu returned to the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting in the Xinuang Pavilion and having noodle tea.

She has gone through a lot of training this morning, and she ate a bowl of porridge in the morning, and she is already very hungry at this moment.As soon as the aroma of the noodle tea rushed over, I felt that the whole person was listless and unable to cheer up.

At this moment, seeing the Empress Dowager smiling and beckoning her to come over, she still forced herself to go forward and salute: "My ancestor please be well."

"Get up and sit down." The Empress Dowager sat on the east end of the kang, and casually pointed to the west of the kang, signaling her to sit down.Daiyu refused to sit down, and asked the maid to move a round stool before sitting down. "This tea is very fragrant today, go, bring another bowl, let the girl taste it too."

There is sesame oil in the noodle tea, Daiyu usually doesn't eat this, she despises greasy oil.But at this moment, I was really hungry, and with a warm bowl in my hand, the sesame oil also smelled good.It's a pity that she has always been weak, and she has to eat lightly. After eating half a bowl, the oily gas will come up and she can't eat any more.

"Is the collection of books in Jianfu Palace good?" The Empress Dowager looked at her with a smile: "If you don't come back to eat, there must be another place to eat?"

Daiyu blushed all of a sudden, and the porridge bowl in her hand was as hot as charcoal, and she couldn't hold it, so she hurriedly asked Chu Gui to take it, and picked up a soft handkerchief to wipe her mouth.The Empress Dowager has clear eyes and ears, don't look at her staying in the Shoukang Palace all day, but in fact, if there is anything going on in the palace, she can't escape her eyes.Now that she asked this question with a teasing smile, she must know that she came back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

She muttered and couldn't speak, she was eager and shy, her appearance was extremely pitiful.The Empress Dowager looked at it carefully, and she really liked it more and more. She couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor is young, and he is easy to get angry when he is young. I also passed by at that time, and these are not worth anything. Brother Xuan raised him by my side , and later became the emperor, with a lot of courage on his shoulders, I feel sorry for him sincerely. He is so strict with his own temperament. After all these years, there are only two concubines and one princess in the palace. I know, he I didn't meet the person I like. Speaking of which, you have met before. When you lived in Shoukang Palace, he talked to me about the hidden residence, and you stood by the side. You were only so big then. "

The words can't be too clear, but they can't be considered too obscure.Daiyu's face turned red and white again, her heart seemed to be fried in a frying pan, and the smile on her face could hardly hold back, she was on the verge of tears.The Empress Dowager really misunderstood, and it was the kind of misunderstanding she least wanted to hear.What is she going to do?Said that the emperor didn't have that kind of heart for her, and he went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation today because he was so frightened that he fainted?The empress dowager was fine. Before leaving, the emperor threatened himself that if he found out, he might really send her to the Punishment Department.

She blinked and tried her best to hold back her tears: "The emperor is the real dragon emperor, the king of the world. The general election is held every three years. What kind of girl can't have. The empress dowager is afraid that the emperor will not find someone he likes?"

The Empress Dowager only thought of her as a girl's shyness, and it was indeed outrageous to say this directly to the girl.That's why I stopped talking, and talked about Princess Yangyi's cuteness and cuteness.

Daiyu accompanied her for a conversation, although she smiled on her face, she was full of sorrow in her heart.She thought over and over again, then got up and squatted down, and said earnestly: "The old ancestor loved me, and he took me into the palace because he looked down on me. I was really happy and frightened in my heart. The palace is full of wealth and wealth, and everyone let me in with smiles." People are happy in their hearts. I thought to myself that if I don’t go back for the rest of my life, it would be better to just talk to my ancestors to relieve boredom. However, as a woman, my parents and brothers are all at home, and there is no reason for me to enjoy myself outside without going back to serve my parents. What's more, I'm young and have clumsy hands and feet. I'm afraid that my ancestors will bother me early in the morning, but they still care about my face, so it's hard to say it."

There is a long list of all kinds, and they are all the truths that she has thought out with all her heart.In the end, in one word, she wanted to go home.

The Empress Dowager was noncommittal, first asked Tong Yi to help her up, and then said with a sigh: "The girl knows filial piety, which is a good thing. It just so happened that Princess Yangyi was close to you when I left you that day. Er Zenian also talked back and forth, saying that he would take the little princess back. If so, you and Princess Yangyi will go together tomorrow."

A big stone in her heart was finally removed, Dai Yu respectfully thanked her for her kindness, and then went to the East Side Hall to see Princess Yangyi.

There was a long silence in the Xinuang Pavilion, Tong Yi quietly waved her hand, signaling Chen De to bring out the noodles.

"Guilan really has no rules. After finding the county lord, how dare she avoid going to Xinuang Pavilion to answer." She said while looking at the expression of the empress dowager.Seeing her expressionless, he withdrew to look for Guilan.

Gui Lan was standing on the porch watching the little maid weaving bats with colored threads and jade beads. The little maid couldn't stop complimenting her: "My aunt just stands on the porch like this, and she looks very neat and charming. I'll make a net for my aunt and hang it on the In the waist, the inside is made empty, April [-]th is the beginning of summer, and it is made to put salted duck eggs for my aunt."

This custom only exists in the south. On the day of Lixia, you have to weave a small palm-sized bag with colored thread, and hang the salted duck eggs in it for a while before eating. It is said that children are not easy to get hot boils after eating.Apparently this little maid knew that Gui Lan was from the south, and that her aunts had no shortage of gold and silver, but they lacked a feeling for their homeland.

Gui Lan was really moved by her, her expression on her face remained the same, not much changed, but there was a softness in her words: "If you have time, make one, if you don't have time, forget it."

The little palace lady kept her subordinates and said with a smile: "Auntie, what are you talking about? : "Hello, Aunt Tong."

Tong Yi pulled Gui Lan into the door, half-covered the door, and asked her in a low voice: "You found the Lord Fushou County in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, what did you say?"

Gui Lan nodded: "The old ancestor already knew?" She thought that if the Empress Dowager didn't know, she would stop talking about it, but unexpectedly she knew it after all.

She thought about it, and at this point, she could only tell the truth.The Empress Dowager was kind and kind, and she would not embarrass the Lord Fushou County.So he and Tong Yi came to Xinuang Pavilion and explained everything clearly.

"The servant first went to Jianfu Palace to ask the eunuch there, and said that he did not see the county master. Then he asked the two eunuchs next to the Chunhua Gate, and said that the county master was fainted by the snake, and the emperor happened to be there. Somehow, just... just Carrying the county master back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

The empress dowager thought that the old god was here and only listened to ordinary things, but when she heard this, she just thought she had heard it wrong, and she was very surprised: "What did you say? Why did you go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

"The emperor took it back?" A cup of Yimu ointment skipped over An Baoxin, the deputy head of Chuxiu Palace, and slammed it heavily on the magnolia-patterned skirt board of Xinuang Pavilion, narrowly brushing against the glass lattice.

Anbao Xinyuan stood, and was so frightened by the heavy pounding that he fell to the ground, dared not raise his face, and repeatedly begged for mercy: "It is not a pity for a slave to die, so please master to calm down. If the master wants to beat and punish the slave, the slave will be punished." It's okay. I didn't have to smash anything, and I hurt the master's hand."

Concubine Huang Shu didn't listen to a word, stood up from the kang, walked back and forth twice, but couldn't suppress the astringency in her heart.

She stopped suddenly, and pointed directly at An Baoxin's face: "You saw it with your own eyes, was it the emperor who carried him back?"

An Baoxin made her point and tremble: "I didn't see it. It was Yi Zhaogai, the eunuch who lit the lamp outside the Chunhua Gate. He saw it. He told the servant about this to please the master. The people in front of the emperor called down." A death order, if you dare to spread a word, it is a death penalty."

"Capital crime? What's the use? After all, it has not been reported yet." Concubine Huang Shu sat back on the kang, looked out through the glass window, and could see the entire Chuxiu Palace under her nose.This window is clean and bright. How can such bright light become dim when it shines in?

"That day when she walked in Changyin Pavilion, the whole room was filled with brilliance. I have lived all these years, and I never knew that there could be such a beautiful person in the world." She seemed to be stupid, and murmured to herself in a daze: "When the emperor asked questions through the hanging screen, I pretended to be nothing, but actually listened secretly with my ears up. But it stopped after two or three sentences, and the emperor was indifferent, and didn't show any meaning. I'm so happy... ..."

Suo Yi, her most beloved maidservant, waved An Baoxin back, and knelt down on the footrest to comfort her: "Everything that doesn't say anything is just chasing after the wind."

"Who dares to spread rumors about Long Live?"

Suo Yi also knew that this statement was too far-fetched: "Even if it is true, the master is Concubine Shu, who raised the emperor's first child. The Eastern Empress Dowager is your aunt, and the emperor still has to call you cousin. In this way Who can compare to your affection?"

That is the emperor, not just the Sangong Sixth Court?If he really wanted to open his arms, how many people could he accept with six concubines, twelve concubines, thirty-two concubines, and ninety-six royal wives?Among these people, how could anyone lack beauty?They can't envy only the affection they have known since childhood.

This kind of persuasion didn't help much, and Concubine Huang Shu was still sad and sad: "A person like Long Live has strict self-discipline. I served him in the hidden mansion, and he has always been well-behaved. Don't talk about carrying a woman back to the dormitory. Back then... back then I wanted to hold his hand, but he scolded me for being unruly..."

This is a sad story for her.She liked the emperor since she was a child, and when she grew up she really married him, even though she was only Liang Di, she was extremely happy.They were newlyweds at that time, and when it was time to mix things up, she had the courage to hold his hand, but he avoided him, saying that she had no rules and was not as dignified as a daughter's family, and scolded her for being frivolous.

The words were extremely heavy, like five thunders hitting the top, splitting her whole heart to pieces.

She wanted to touch his hand, but he felt offended and refused her firmly.But right now, he is holding a woman in his arms and walking from Chunhua Gate to Yangxin Hall, so many people are watching him, but he can't care about it.How much do you have to like it to do this kind of thing?

Concubine Huang Shu closed her eyes, hot and crystal clear tears slowly dripped down.

"Master, no tears can be shed in the palace..."

"I know." Wiping away tears, just pretend nothing happened.She forced herself to laugh, and she had to smile gracefully and dignifiedly: "Go and tell Yi Zhaogai, and those palace people who saw it. This matter ends here, and no one is allowed to spread a word. If you ask me to listen As soon as there is a hint of wind, no matter who spreads it, I will count it on their heads and kill them!"
