The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

I want to roll the beaded curtain and the autumn will grow (2)

In the afternoon of the second day, the lazy sunlight cast shadows of dancing trees on the window sill, and the bead curtains were lightly blown by the breeze, creating a faint halo. Concubine Su Gui and Du Ronghua came to Hanzhang Palace to pay their respects. , Elegant and pleasant, smiled and said to Zhu Chengbi: "I heard that the kapok next to the empress is about to marry Zhu Qizhen as a concubine. The concubine and Du Ronghuat came to congratulate the empress."

Du Ronghua understood, took a color-picking box held by Wei Xi, opened it with a smile, "The Changyang Palace of your concubine and the Hexu Hall of your concubine are far inferior to Hanzhang Palace, but this sapphire Rolled colored silver kapok hairpins are rare, ordinary silver ornaments tend to fade easily, but colored silver is painted with a layer of glaze and fired at a high temperature, just look at it, this colored silver kapok is so vivid."

Zhu Chengbi looked at it carefully, and praised with a smile: "It is indeed rare, and it is also very suitable for the occasion. The two sisters are interested."

Su Guipin smiled slightly, and Wei Xi held a black lacquer hairpin box: "Inside are a pair of jasper and silver leaf earrings, a pair of Xiyuelong Cuiwan jade bracelets and a pair of arm-wrapped silver bracelets. Let’s polish the dowry for the kapok girl.”

Zhu Chengbi couldn't help laughing and said: "You two sisters are really polite, then I would like to thank the two sisters for their kindness first, but Kapok has gone to the Weaving Bureau to choose materials, and I will let her go with the two sisters later. Thank you personally."

Concubine Su Gui and Du Ronghua said hurriedly without daring, Du Ronghua stared for a moment, then said: "Kapian is also really lucky, to be married by the empress, and to be married to Master Zhu, many maids of the sixth palace are envious! "

Zhu Chengbi smiled faintly, washed his hands in the cloud-tooth red gold basin brought by the bamboo breath, and picked a few pomegranate seeds that were crystal clear like agate in the plate, Fang smiled and said: "The left is just the love between kapok and Zhu Qizhen." Xiangyue, I'm just going to be old once in a while."

Du Ronghua glanced at the very festive look in the palace, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty treats the servants very well. Now it's just that Kapok is married, so she will be very happy. When Emperor Zhenning comes out of the pavilion, the specifications are unprecedented. I'm afraid Princess Le'an will be so happy." It's far beyond compare!"

Zhu Chengbi smiled slightly: "Zhenning can be released for another year, but the two younger sisters are still young, so they should have a son and a half daughter, so they can have someone to rely on in the future."

Concubine Su Gui smiled lightly: "Concubines are always weak, I'm afraid I can only think about it."

Du Ronghua seemed a little annoyed, raised his eyebrows and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but Concubine Shu is the only one who inherits the rain and dew, I'm afraid my concubine will not be so blessed."

It just so happened that Zhuyu brought up three cups of bird's nest with honey, and poured down the thick honey while it was hot. The bird's nest was originally a dragon-toothed white bird's nest. The shape of the cup was large and perfect, with dense fibers, and it was as smooth as jade Usually, when golden honey is poured on it, the color will become brighter and brighter, which will make your index finger move.

Zhu Chengbi took the plain white spoon and twirled it gently in the bird's nest, then smiled lightly and said, "Sister Su's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry for the Second Grade, and Sister Du's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry for the Third Grade. Now the two younger sisters only live in the If the noble concubine and Rong Hua have children, it is not impossible to become a concubine in the future." Zhu Chengbi paused slightly, then sighed, "You all understand the current situation, Concubine Shu exclusively occupies the position of first-rank concubine and fourth concubine Not to mention the fourth concubine, even the first-rank wife, the emperor would not be willing to stand up."

Du Ronghua twitched his lips and said: "Zuo just took the honor of Guanju Palace to hold us down. Concubines have always been less favored, but it's nothing. It's just that the concubine took the Liugong. Even if Concubine Shu is appointed, she will still be inferior to Concubine Shu, and the concubine feels somewhat wronged by the empress." Du Ronghua's eyes turned slightly, and he said slowly, "Unless, the empress can enter the main palace..."

Zhu Chengbi took the handkerchief and pressed Du Ronghua's red lips, and said with a slight smile: "Is it possible to talk nonsense like this?"

Du Ronghua hurriedly lowered his eyes and remained silent, but Zhu Chengbi said: "Since my palace holds the power to control the six palaces, I will naturally speak for the two younger sisters about the promotion, but whether to nod or not depends on the emperor's will. "

Concubine Su Gui was thinking, and at this moment she got up and slightly bent her knees and said: "Concubine's blessings are not very good, I am afraid that there is no hope for the son, and I dare not expect extravagant concubine position, but the concubine's father still has a place in the court, so he will be happy." Share your worries for your mother."

Du Ronghua also got up in a hurry, and saluted like a ceremonial: "The concubine and your concubine are of one mind, please rest assured, my lady."

Zhu Chengbi smiled, and said slowly: "The emperor doesn't like concubines to have more contact with courtiers, so you should pay attention to it yourself."

Concubine Su Gui smiled gently, like the gentle moonlight bursting out of the sky: "It is also a gift from the empress that the concubine can come out of the Changyang Palace, which is like a cold palace in Xiaosuo. The concubine should serve the empress, and it is only for the sake of the empress. The concubine has always been withdrawn, if it wasn't for something urgent, she wouldn't come to Hanzhang Palace to disturb the empress."

Zhu Chengbi understood, and smiled lightly: "Sister Su is the smartest, so it can be seen that what kind of father can teach what kind of daughter."

When Su Guifei and Du Ronghua left, Zhu Xi changed into a golden osmanthus eyebrow, and said in a low voice: "Su Guifei and Du Ronghua are also smart, and they will definitely not disappoint your mother's expectations."

Zhu Chengbi took the handkerchief and tucked the corners of his lips, slowly pondered and said: "Their status is not high, but my father is an official in the court, and it is also a force that needs to be drawn, but the concubine and concubine have always been close to me. It is already known to everyone, it would be bad if the two of them communicated diligently." Zhu Chengbi took a sip of his Jin Guimei, and smiled quietly, "It's also fortunate that Concubine Su Gui is a sensible person."

Zhu Xi lowered his hands and said: "It has always been the case that people in the harem, no matter the queen mother and empress, or the concubines, if they want to seize the throne from him, they must either have power in the court or the six palaces, but there is only one person, the empress. mask."

Zhu Chengbi used his fingernails to slowly fiddle with the tea leaves in the blue and white tender porcelain cup, and said slowly: "It's not easy to have such a day, thanks to Xia Mengxian and Lin Ruoxuan, if it wasn't for those two people's continuous experience..."

Just as he was talking, Yidan walked in, coughing and said: "If you want to mention some experience, let me tell you."

Zhu Chengbi hurriedly got up to salute, and then helped Yidan to sit down, Fang smiled and said, "It's just that Ling'er's riding and archery is much better than in the past, and I just want to thank King Liang!" After speaking, he ordered Zhu He said with a sigh, "Go and bring a glass of rock sugar pears."

Yi Dan shakes Zhu Chengbi's hand: "If that's the case, it's Yi Chen's great achievement."

Zhu Chengbi held Yidan's hands tightly with his backhand, half blaming and half pitying: "Why has the emperor started to cough again recently? His hands are also a bit cold. The emperor is not allowed to slack off on the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Liang."

Yi Dan smiled and said, "I'm not being lazy, I just dealt with some official documents these days, so I just slept late."

Zhu Chengbi was slightly taken aback, took the rock sugar pears served by Zhu Xi, lightly scooped a spoonful and handed it to Yidan's lips: "The king of Liang is distracting the emperor, the emperor should take good care of his body, why bother with everything?" Bow yourself."

Yi Dan swallowed the stewed soft pear and savored it carefully, and said after a while: "Firstly, if the government is too neglected, the courtiers will always talk about it, and secondly, the king of Liang took all kinds of I can't always just shirk when political affairs come to ask me what I mean." Yi Dan cleared his throat and said, "He doesn't bother him, he spends two or three hours in the palace all day long, but he doesn't care about me. It's annoying."

Zhu Chengbi's heart moved, he knew that his own suggestion had made a difference, if this continues, Yidan might be bored when he sees King Liang, so he just let King Liang handle things at his own discretion, and some things will naturally be more convenient if such power is put down .

Yidan smiled warmly: "This rock sugar pear is not bad, but how do you know that I will come over this time?"

The afternoon sun was warm and picturesque as it fell gently, giving rise to a sense of tranquility and relativeness for no reason. Zhu Chengbi lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "After autumn, the emperor always coughs, and my concubines make rock sugar pears in the palace every day. Come here and eat."

Yidan was greatly moved when he heard the words, and gently hugged Zhu Chengbi and said, "Apart from Yiguang, you are the only one who understands me best, and it's really for my own good."

With a stab in his heart, Zhu Chengbi just grabbed Yidan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "I don't want anything else, I just hope that the emperor can get well soon."

Yitan sighed leisurely, seemed to be hesitating, and finally asked in a deep voice: "There is one thing, I want to hear what you think."

Zhu Chengbi heard that there was something strange in Yidan's voice, and he felt suspicious, but he refused to show anything on his face, he just said softly: "The emperor just ask."

Yidan nodded and said: "This morning, Gao Qianying came back and forth with me. Xuanji's concubine, He Shi, is three months pregnant and had a miscarriage yesterday."

Zhu Chengbi was slightly taken aback, only looking at Yidan's expression, and seeing that he was a little hesitant, he hurriedly reprimanded him softly: "The Third Highness is also the King of Xiangcheng personally appointed by the emperor, I didn't expect the people below to be so negligent. With rich clothes and fine food, how could Concubine He have a miscarriage?"

Yi Dan rubbed the center of his brows, feeling quite sentimental: "I don't have many princes, but the one who is grounded now..."

Zhu Chengbi gently caressed Yidan's shoulders, and comforted him softly: "You can't blame the emperor for this incident. The emperor's original intention was to imprison the third highness, and it was the people under him who belittled the Xiangcheng palace. No matter how confining it is, it's not an option." Seeing Yidan trembled slightly, Zhu Chengbi calmed down, and said slowly, "The third highness is confinement because of Bo Linghou's treasonous plot, now almost a year has passed, the emperor is not as good as that." How about letting His Highness make atonement?"

Yi Dan nodded lightly, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and said: "The Southwest War has been delayed for a long time because of the case of Marquis Boling's treason, and now it is Murong Jiong who is in charge, and he is indeed a talented person. It is better to let Xuanji go to him to practice under his command."

Zhu Chengbi smiled lightly: "The emperor is the most thoughtful, and the three highnesses are excellent at riding and shooting. They must have lived up to the emperor's expectations, but the emperor should also comfort Concubine He well."

Yidan shook Zhu Chengbi's hand with a smile: "That's natural, so Xuanji can feel at ease."

It wasn't until Yidan left Hanzhang Palace that Zhu Chengbi realized that there was a thin layer of sweat on his back. Seeing this, Zhu Xi hurriedly said: "The emperor seems to have some other intentions today."

Zhu Chengbi only slowly fiddled with the armor inlaid with gold and jade, and the cold light flashed faintly, piercing people's eyes: "The emperor wanted Xuanji to go to the Southwest with Murong Jiong to practice in the southwest, just to find out what I mean That's all."
