Chapter 456 Extra Story My Peace of Mind (1)
In the autumn of the tenth year of Yongqing, winter has not yet entered, and the sun is still hanging outside, but Mu Xiyao already feels icy cold. Huddled in Emperor Jian'an's arms, on her shoulders was the fox fur he had carefully gathered for her. The man's palm simmered her small hand, patted the little woman's vest, and coaxed the red-eyed woman with an unusually soft voice.
"Don't be sad anymore. When Master Mu leaves, I will take care of the Mu family. Could it be that Jiaojiao can't trust me?"
Today, Mu Jinzhi helped the spirit back to Qingzhou. Emperor Jian'an and his concubine came to see him off. He had just left the pier, had just seen his father's spirit tablet, and seduced her again so that tears flowed, the emperor felt really distressed when he saw it. At the moment, she is sitting in the warm sedan chair on the way back, with such a great face, in the eyes of outsiders, she is very envious.
"Mother is also uncomfortable." After a few days, Yu Shi subsided, showing that the empress did not hide her sadness. "The concubine is also reluctant."
Since she came to Dawei, the first to give her favor was not the man in front of her, but her parents at home. Last year's New Year's Eve, they brought people into the palace, and the whole family was reunited. Seeing that it was another festive season, there was no one at this time, so how could she be relieved.
The small body in his arms was suppressed and trembled quietly, even if he was uncomfortable, he was also well-behaved, which aroused Zong Zhenglin's sympathy even more.
Don't look at her showing her teeth and claws on weekdays, but when she encountered something that made her uncomfortable, this woman never wiped her tears behind his back. It's just that she is having a hard time, and always pulls him to accompany him quietly.
Just like her, being "inconsiderate" in the eyes of others like her is very in line with his wishes, and the emperor is very pleased.
In the eighth year of Yongqing, Cheng Zhan, who was only five days away from his first birthday, suffered from chickenpox. Aunt Yu came to open the unilateral agreement, and she stayed with her for two nights without closing her eyes. At that moment, the woman was also leaning silently in his arms, her little hands tightly gripping his robe, and she refused to close her eyes.
"Be good and be obedient. Take a short break, and if some younger ones see you when you return to the palace, you will have to surround Jiaojiao and worry about it. Especially Ronghui, I'm afraid she will cry." The little girl has a more temperamental personality than her concubine mother. Delicate, according to the little woman, it's all because he's so used to it. And the oldest, Chengyou, is now sixteen years old.
On the fourth day of October in the tenth year of Yongqing, the Taimiao was now reported, and the Xiandian was worshiped, and an edict was issued to establish the emperor's eldest son, Zongzhengde, as the crown prince. At the same time, there was also the second prince, the chief political officer, who honored the "King of Thailand".
Hearing him mention a few young people in the palace, the imperial concubine and empress rubbed her face against the lapel of the Long Live Lord. Looking up again, the tip of his nose was red, and he felt a little embarrassed. "Don't tell those few people you know."
"It should be you." Knowing that she still cared about the face of being a concubine, Zong Zhenglin took out the brocade handkerchief that was tucked in her lapel, unfolded it and tidied it up for her carefully.
Holding the delicate woman like this, the emperor looked thoughtful.
The winter's cloudy days passed with ease, and in the eleventh year of Yongqing, the rain finally cleared up and down the palace, and Eunuch Gu also heaved a long sigh of relief outside the door of the imperial study.
Lord Long Live rewarded Princess Ronghui Xibian who sent a pair of feathered birds. Seeing the seven-year-old girl pouting at the flat-haired beast, the noble master finally showed a smile. In the past few days, the Yuxiu Palace has returned to its former bustle, and even the Imperial Study Room has become less complex today.
"Your Majesty, your noble master brought you a soup of red dates and white fungus. I told this old servant to watch over you and use it while it's hot."
Putting down the lake pen, Emperor Jian'an picked up the spoon, but he felt full after half a bowl. Putting down the porcelain bowl, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gu Changde's tidying hands. The veins on the back of the hands were prominent, thin and streaked, and densely wrinkled.
"Next year, it's your turn to be raised. There is one less person around me who needs to be used." Rarely felt a little emotional, but it caused Gu Changde to kneel down in fear and kowtow to express his sincerity.
Well, after all, he was afraid of him. At this time, I especially miss the little girl's presumptuousness in front of him.
"Remember to remind me at that time that I will reward you more. Don't let me treat you badly because of the friendship between master and servant for many years." Waved his hand to tell people to step back, the emperor leaned back on the brocade couch, and slowly closed his eyes.
Eunuch Gu handed the food box to the little maid of Yuxiu Palace, held the whisk by himself, and slowly recalled it in his mind, he always felt that the Lord Long Live seemed to have changed in recent days. But what is different from the past, but I can't figure it out. I'm afraid that only the noble master in the palace can figure out a thing or two?
As Gu Changde expected, Mu Xiyao did find that Lord Boss has been coming to Yuxiu Palace more often these days!
At first, the man was still afraid that she would secretly think of Mrs. Mu again, so he moved the book and stayed with her to tease her. After that, she was busy disciplining Rong Hui and Cheng Zhan, neither of them were obedient masters. Mr. Boss was also afraid that she would be exhausted from working hard, so he came over to share with her when he had time.
Naturally, Zong Zhenglin was more willing to hug Rong Hui, and the little girl was so proud that she loved to show off in front of Cheng You.
As for Baozi Chengzhan, his temperament is different from that of his two elder brothers. Xiao Douding is very clever, he is a big kid, and he has a lot of ideas. Relying on Zong Zhenglin being a little lenient towards his youngest son, he still acted like a doting pamper. After adjusting his wild nature, the koi raised in Jinghu Lake in the harem were caught by him several times. Mu Xiyao was so angry that she took the chicken feather blanket for the first time, and rolled up her sleeves high, as if trying to get along with others.
However, the three-year-old child, who looks familiar, is not able to catch anyone when she runs wild. This is not a patient master who angered the imperial concubine. As soon as the lawsuit came to Emperor Jian'an, the Pohou, who was still alive and kicking at the beginning, immediately lost his arrogance when he saw his father. Grabbing the hem of the clothes, with eyes that resembled Zong Zhenglin's, the father and son looked at each other, and the little guy lowered his head, imitating her mother and concubine's rascal, and was not afraid of his preaching, so he rushed forward and hugged his thigh Try hard to beg for mercy.
Even Princess Ronghui, the "little flatterer" whom Mu Xiyao despised the most, saw how her younger brother flattered her father, and she also praised her greatly, boasting that her younger brother was "very progressive"!
This word reached the ears of the imperial concubine, so the two young ones recited books together. The older one read "Twelve Volumes of the History of Wei", while the younger one held the "Rhythm" in his arms, stammering and ambiguous. There is no way, the person is too young to read all the characters.
In the end, it was Zhao Mama who was worried that the noble master was being too serious with the little highness, so she secretly sent someone to report the letter to the imperial study. If the Lord Long Live hadn't come and coaxed the empress to soften her temper, the two His Highnesses would have to punish him for another half an hour.
In this way, Emperor Jian'an became increasingly sharp and decisive in political affairs. For the rest of the time, she spends most of her time in the imperial concubine's palace, coaxing the older ones, and raising the younger ones, so her life will be happy.
He only suffers from the ministers of the previous court, anxiously watching the vacancy of the head of the harem, and fearing that the Lord Long Live should be elected in the general election early, waiting for the beautiful girl to enter the palace in a blink of an eye, and leaving aside only the one from Yuxiu Palace.
According to the rules of previous dynasties, if the emperor's jade dew is uneven, there will always be some restraint. For example, the government, the queen mother, or the emperor has been educated since childhood.
It's a pity to meet such a master! His temper is so strong that no one dares to disobey him, and he even managed to tie the two Jin Dynasties and married Dongwu Zhaoda. Take advantage of the trend to rectify the powerful families, and take advantage of the division of counties and counties to drastically reorganize the cabinet and consolidate the imperial power.
Emperor Jian'an has always been able to listen to advice in political affairs. But when it was time to make a decision, I realized just how gentle the late emperor was. As for the queen mother... don't say anything.
With the unfavored concubines and nine concubines standing in front of them, everyone had no choice but to look at the crown prince. It was so easy to have something to look forward to, but the noble master had spoken. It will not be too late for His Royal Highness to choose a concubine in two years.
Well, how many aristocratic families in Shengjing have no hope. My girl is past her age, how can she be in the draft! Royal concubine, you have the backing of Lord Long Live, so you are not afraid to break the rules any more!
