Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0134 Celebrate Shunsheng’s admiration from selfishness

The County Lord of Qingshun was almost supported by Jixue in Tongle Yuan.The twelve girls shared two tables for meals, and most of them had already been used up when the head of Qingshun County entered.The girls formed their own factions, and they sat together to drink tea and chat.Seeing her come in, the Ming Dynasty suddenly fell into silence.

County Lord Qingshun had never experienced that kind of thing before, and he felt lucky to be able to survive on the line of life and death, so he didn't care about his manners.Jixue helped her to sit down, and poured hot tea for her to eat.She held the teacup and poured half of it vigorously, and then she gradually recovered.

Seeing that she was quite embarrassed, everyone also guessed in their hearts, is this called punishment or scolding?In just a short while, the county lord, who is currently clean and dust-free, has become like this?

Jixue ignored this, took the chopsticks and handed them to the Qingshun county magistrate, and said softly: "After a while, the ancestors will take all the girls to Fuhai to go boating, the magistrate should eat some food, I don't have the energy to be careful."

Lord Qingshun nodded.After experiencing what happened just now, she understood that the garden is different from the home.Here you have to abide by the rules, the etiquette is strict, no one is allowed to make mistakes, and if you are careless, your life will be gone.After hearing Ji Xue's words, she wanted to pick up chopsticks to eat, but when she looked up, she saw all the soup left over from being picked by others.She felt more and more wronged, thinking that she had never suffered such a crime in the mansion.

"How can this make people eat?" Blinking, tears were already in the sockets of the eyes, and they were about to fall.

Jixue hurriedly whispered something in her ear: "Master, there are rules in the inner court that we are not allowed to shed tears without reason. It would be disrespectful if someone saw it and passed it to the master's ears."

What are you crying for?It's not that the master is dead.The girls who were invited in had high self-esteem and high status, which was different from slaves.But in the eyes of the masters, there is actually no difference.In the inner court, even if the parents are dead, they are not allowed to shed tears, and they are doing the work of serving others, so they don't care about their relatives.As for these girls, although they are not serving people, they have to try their best to please people in order to live well.In truth, no one is better than the other.

County Lord Qingshun couldn't help shivering when he thought of the emperor's appearance just now.It's too scary, if you open your mouth, you will be fined to kneel and bask in the sun.The first side was like this, if she really entered the palace in the future, would there still be a way out?She held back her tears, feeling extremely sad and sad, so she took a spoon and poured a spoonful of soup, at least she ate half a bowl of rice, and finally couldn't eat any more.

After serving her to eat and rinse her mouth, Ji Xue was finally able to retire.Tell everyone to take a nap, and she will resign.But seeing Chu Gui and Gui Lan come in holding the cloud pan, the two of them came in, bowed their knees to greet everyone, and then said to Qingshun County Lord: "The Empress Dowager specially ordered the slaves to bring clothes and ointment, and respectfully ask the County Lord to change clothes .”

The clothes of the county magistrate Qingshun were indeed soaked with sweat once, and he was very uncomfortable to wear.She just thought it was the Empress Dowager who knew what happened just now, and specially gave her clothes to comfort her, so she didn't suspect him, and was led into the bedroom by the palace servant who had just been assigned to serve her.

Tongle Yuan is not big, the main hall is in the middle, and there is a bright room in the middle.The East Nuan Pavilion and the West Nuan Pavilion respectively set up the East Tip Room and the West Side Room, and these four rooms housed the four highest-ranked ladies.Among them, the county lord of Qingshun belonged to the one with the title among the four, so he was naturally more expensive, and lived in the East Nuan Pavilion without any hesitation, while Nangong Deyin lived in the West Nuan Pavilion.As for Dongshaojian and Xishaojian, Miss Suiyun from the Shangguan family in Nanyang and Sun Pinchun, the cousin of Sun Dashi, lived.

There are also four rooms in the Dongpei Hall, where Miss Ruxin from the Qiao family in Fanyang, Miss Liyan from the Feng family in Xingyang, Miss Shucheng from the Yin family in Beijing, and Miss Yaoduo from the Weisheng family in Taiyuan.

Then there are four rooms in the Xipei Hall, where Liu Yu, the eldest daughter of the minister of rites, Yao Mengyuan, the granddaughter of the servant, Ruan Qingtian, the younger sister of Siye of Guozijian, and Sun Shuqing, the second daughter of Shejitan altar, lived.

The county magistrate of Qingshun changed his clothes, and Guilan, Chu Gui and Jixue retreated together.Only one little maid named Zheju was left behind, who was allocated by the Shang Palace Bureau to serve.County Lord Qingshun was unhappy, but his face was a little weary.He pressed the mirror on the table casually, and said to Zheju, "I want to rest for a while, you go out first."

She was used to being arrogant and indulgent at home, and it is not easy to be able to bear it until now.The tone of voice when speaking can't help but bring out a bit.

The little maid took two steps back, but didn't go out, she just closed the wooden screen door, and still came towards her.

When the county magistrate Qingshun heard the footsteps, his heart ached, he grabbed the wooden comb and threw it over, scolding: "Didn't you hear that I told you to go out? Could it be that I am becoming worse than a slave in this garden?"

"Master, please keep your voice low." Zheju narrowly picked up the wooden comb, and carried it back to the dowry. "Maybe the county master doesn't know that this servant has a cousin who used to be an errand in front of the county prince. Thanks to the county prince's perseverance, he made meritorious service and became a centurion."

People under the king of Nan'an County?The head of Qingshun County looked suspicious: "So what?"

Zheju laughed softly: "Two days ago, someone sent a letter from the family, and brought the concubine's request. Please rest assured, the servants will serve the county lord well."

"Did the concubine ask you to come here?" County Lord Qingshun paused for a moment, then burst into tears: "Can you spread the word?"

"This is the county magistrate?"

County Master Qingshun was wronged and tormented, and finally met a person whom the family had confessed to. Although he had never known him before, he seemed to have found a backbone in this garden.

She grabbed Zheju's hand and wept bitterly, sobbing and crying: "The emperor is so fierce, I am afraid. You send a letter back for me and tell the concubine to pick me up. I don't want to stay here Go! The emperor humiliated me and punished me as a slave. Just now he punished me to kneel under the sun. If I stay here again, I’m afraid I won’t survive. Take me home!”

Zheju let her cry for a while, wiped her tears with a soft handkerchief, and persuaded slowly: "Even if you want to send the letter back, you have to wait until the fifteenth day. The county magistrate should be more patient. It's nothing to ask the emperor to kneel down." , according to this servant, the county master should be happy."

"What are you talking about?" The head of Qingshun County was heartbroken: "I am also a county head from the county prince's mansion, and I didn't even bend my knees a few times when I was at home. Now that the emperor punishes me, should I be overjoyed?"

"The county lord only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other level." Zheju wiped away the tears on her face, and said seriously: "Who are we Long Live? If we are really bored, we won't say a word. , who would bother to punish people. The county magistrate was not in the palace before, so he didn't know what was going on here. To put it bluntly, how many times did the empress ask the emperor to scold him for the rules and etiquette, and the emperor was so angry that his teeth itch. But the result What's the matter, it's not that the enemies don't get together, and when they are scolded, the taste will change. It's a good thing to show your face in front of the emperor, even if it's called a punishment. It's like a gust of wind, can the emperor remember it?"

County Lord Qingshun was fascinated by what he heard for a moment, and asked her to guide her, and also remembered the emperor's appearance when he was facing Daiyu just now.Speech behavior is completely different from talking to others. The high-ranking person lowers his head and pours all his tenderness into talking to the other party.It's really enviable.I can't help but have delusional thoughts in my heart, thinking that it would be great if that kind of partiality can also fall on me.To be held in the hands of the number one man in the world, who has never had such a dream.

She didn't care about crying anymore, and asked stupidly: "Has the emperor punished the queen before?"

"The emperor does not allow rumors, but this servant has a god-brother who works in front of the imperial court. The servant has vaguely heard that it was common for the queen to ask the emperor to kneel down, and the empress cried many times because of it. I felt wronged that day, but now I have endured it." , look, that one is now the queen..."

"Queen..." County Mistress Qingshun chewed on these two words, her heart began to beat violently.She is not big-hearted, and knows that according to the emperor's current posture, and Lin Daiyu's appearance and character, she will definitely not be able to replace her as the queen.What if it's just a concubine?Or the position of noble concubine is too high, she is willing to be a concubine!

Such a high-ranking person, such a demeanor and appearance, if he no longer speaks out as punishment, and treats himself as gently as a queen, who can not be moved?

Daiyu didn't go back to Xinghuachun Hall to rest.

Tanchun and Xichun waited for her for a long time, and they got up early in the morning, so they couldn't hold on after waiting for a while.Daiyu assigned Lanling and Lanliu to serve them temporarily, and they persuaded them to go back to their rooms and take a rest, but when they woke up, it was almost Shen time.

Lanling was about to call Tanchun, but when she saw that she was awake, he ordered someone to bring water in.While serving her to gargle, wash her face, dress, and put on makeup, she said with a smile: "Miss wakes up coincidentally, eat some snacks to wake up, and in a moment, it's time to go boating with the Empress Dowager on the Fuhai Sea."

After waking up without appetite, Tanchun ate half a cup of tea with his eyes closed, then asked Xichun.Lanling told her that Xichun was up too, and Lanliu was helping her to wash up.Tanchun felt relieved, and asked Daiyu, "When did your lady come back?"

Lan Ling covered his lips and smiled, with a hint of teasing and showing off: "Our lady hasn't come back. The emperor couldn't leave her for a moment, and led him to Qingyan, Kyushu to rest."

The emperor wanted to be with Daiyu all the time, but the etiquette has not yet been fulfilled, so he should not cross the line too much.They often stayed together after lunch and separated after dinner.Although it was only for one afternoon, Qingyan of Jiuzhou specially set up a little time for Daiyu to rest.

"This way..." This shouldn't be something a girl who hasn't been engaged should inquire about. Although Tanchun has never experienced it, she is also old and has been taught by her nanny to some extent.She blushed unconsciously, and moved away with a murmur.But I thought in my heart, the two of them are so affectionate, it's really enviable.If she goes out in the future and dare not beg to be the same as her, even if she has one or two points, she will be satisfied.

Tanchun and Xichun met in the bright room, each held hands to look at their clothes, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, they went hand in hand to Chunyuxuan.

The Empress Dowager was having noodle tea, when she saw the two of them coming over, she smiled and beckoned them to sit down.Because she is Daiyu's cousin, she is well-behaved and has a quiet temperament, so her heart is inevitably biased towards them, and she likes them more.

She smiled and said: "After a while, the queen will be back. You all follow my boat, and the others asked them to take two auxiliary boats." As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly told Tong Yi: " Tonight I will have dinner at the Yao Terrace on Peng Island."
