Seven years ago, Su Qiaorong got married. The husband was chosen by Mrs. Su, and he was not a good match.
The emperor always thought that it was Mrs. Su who wanted to torment the eldest daughter unilaterally. It wasn't until not long ago that he found out that there was actually De Fei's writing here.
At that time, Concubine De was only ten years old. In modern times, he is still a child, but in Dayan, at the age of ten, he can already start to see people. And for children of this age, there is also a saying that men and women have different seats, and their love has just begun.
The young prince was only thirteen years old. When Concubine De went to the palace to visit her sister, she ran into the emperor who was still the prince.
The young prince is already a handsome young man. Although he doesn't seem to be careful in his studies, he is a smart child. Su Taishi knew that the prince was hiding his clumsiness, and secretly praised the prince with his wife at home.
Concubine De, who was taking a nap in the back room of the main courtyard, overheard it a few times by chance, and fell in love with it.
When we met this time, I was astonished. At that time, when she returned home, she told her mother that she wanted to marry the Crown Prince when she grew up.
But Mrs. Su disagreed, the seizure of the throne is at a critical stage, who knows which prince will be in charge in the end? Those princes of all grades can be the father of the prince. As a neutral party, Grand Master Su, how can he marry his daughter to the prince or other princes and drag himself into trouble
At that time, no one was optimistic about the prince, and if he followed the prince, he would basically be doomed. If it wasn't for those princes who framed each other later and killed many competitors, and finally died together, how could there be a chance for the prince to ascend the throne
So Concubine De didn't dare to bring up this thought once.
At that time, Concubine De didn't understand these things, she just thought that the prince was good-looking, good-tempered, and would make girls happy, so she liked it. And this is the crown prince, the next emperor, if she becomes the crown prince, she will be the queen in the future.
Because of these reasons, Concubine De's mind has never rested. And her parents didn't want her to marry, so she could only secretly think about it.
But she is not stupid, she found that the prince seems to like her sister. Based on the idea that what she can't get and can't give to her sister, she urged her mother to find a husband for her sister.
Originally, Mrs. Su didn't bother to interfere in her eldest daughter's marriage. She wished that her daughter would be rejected and buried without getting married. Anyway, Dayan didn't have the rule that if the elder sister doesn't get married, the younger sister can't marry.
Now that the youngest daughter mentioned something, Mrs. Su simply complied with her daughter's wishes. I chose a decent husband's family for the eldest daughter, and I also praised the younger daughter for being a good girl who knows how to love her sister.
As for this candidate, Concubine De was not completely uninvolved.
The person was chosen by Mrs. Su, but Mrs. Su selected one from a group of people. And the roster of this group of people was prepared by Concubine De.
The people above all look good on the surface, but in fact, marrying them is like stepping into a fire pit. Some people even said that no matter how bad it is, they can find an excuse to come out.
For example, the son of one of the families, he has parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters. Mother and grandmother are strict people, and the sisters are not friendly, or can be said to be unruly and willful. There is no distinction between the illegitimate son and the concubines in the family, and the illegitimate son is favored more than his illegitimate son.
But what did Defei say? She said, this young master has heard that he is beautiful, and he has done a good job in learning. Although the house is restless, there are some small flaws in every house, and nothing is perfect. The son is a caring person, and there is no concubine room. After the sister is married, she will be protected by her husband, so nothing will happen.
... a ghost.
There is no concubine's room, but there is a common room! Moreover, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, concubine, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, each and every one of them, can overwhelm the not-so-good young miss of the Su family.
When His Majesty the Emperor got this list, he was so out of breath that he fell ill.
Now seeing the gentle and careless Concubine De who was acting pretentious in front of him, it simply made him sick. Not to mention Lin Xing, he didn't even want to see this woman.
Concubine De didn't notice this.
His Majesty the Emperor has seen her less and less recently, and she has no way of noticing something is wrong. Now being pointed out by Concubine Shen with malicious intentions, she almost couldn't help but explode on the spot.
Fortunately, the maids came up again with new snacks, which at least diverted Concubine De's attention. Concubine Shen Gui didn't bother to talk to her anymore, she turned her head to joke with the empress, leaving Concubine De behind.
It's as if Concubine De is a servant who comes and goes when she is called.
Concubine De squeezed the veil tightly, she endured it.
"Sister De Concubine didn't have a smile on her face during her happy days, it's really bad luck." Seeing this, Concubine Mi was in a much happier mood, she stabbed slowly, and then ignored Concubine De.
She can't get used to all the women in this palace, but there are some people she can't face face to face, such as the queen and the noble concubine. Although she doesn't know the rules, she is not stupid. It is no good to offend these two people. But Defei...
Others couldn't tell that Concubine De was about to fall out of favor, but she noticed something. Every time the emperor stayed overnight in her palace, when he mentioned other concubines by chance, they generally had a similar attitude, with a cold and indifferent tone. Concubine Mi reckoned that the emperor probably had the same attitude when other concubines approached her. Although she was upset, the emperor had no sincerity, and she understood this truth.
There are only a few exceptions. For example, when the empress is mentioned, the emperor will speak kindly, as if he is referring to a relative; Concubine, even after covering up, she still inadvertently revealed a trace of disgust.
Xu Shi felt that Concubine Mi was a violent, handsome and ignorant woman, so the emperor didn't bother to pretend in front of her, but just covered it up a little.
Concubine Mi knew it in her heart, she didn't say anything, and she didn't bother to say it. It's good that the emperor misunderstood her like this. Anyway, she was too lazy to play any tricks, she might as well become a woman with big breasts and no brains in the eyes of everyone like she is now.
Hearing Concubine Mi's sarcasm, Concubine De still wanted to get angry, but Concubine Shen turned her head to talk to Concubine Mi again. Concubine De couldn't say anything now, she could only swallow her bad breath.
Until the banquet started, she couldn't let it out, instead it became more and more stuffy in her chest.
After the banquet began, the refreshments were withdrawn, and dishes and drinks began to be served on the ground one by one.
The woman's side is the sweet fruit wine served, the fruit aroma is stronger than the wine aroma, it smells pleasant, and the color is light and beautiful. Even those who don't like to drink are willing to drink two more sips.
For the dishes, four cold dishes are served first, followed by eight hot dishes, followed by two soups and four desserts, and the table is full. Generally, it means that you can basically eat a few chopsticks with each dish. As for the dishes, it is estimated that they are almost cold.
If it wasn't for Dayan not advocating extravagance, I'm afraid there would be much more dishes.
Empresses and the like can reward their ministers with the food in front of them. Concubine Shen excused that Concubine De's complexion was not good, and she was afraid of losing her vitality, so she abruptly gave Concubine De the "Glutinous Rice Cake with Osmanthus Flowers and Red Dates" in front of her.
To put it bluntly, this behavior is very unruly, after all she is just a noble concubine, and Concubine De is not a low-ranking concubine. But Concubine Shen dared to do this, perhaps without the acquiescence of His Majesty the Emperor behind her.
Therefore, Concubine De can't have a fit, and she has to accept it happily, even if Concubine Shen treats her as a low-ranking concubine who is not very important and not on the stage.
Who told her to be inferior to the imperial concubine? It's not just a joke to crush people to death at the first level.
However, the concubine De Fei couldn't bear to eat that cake. Reluctantly picked up one and took a bite, then put it down.
Concubine Shen Gui accepted it as soon as it was good, and did not force her to eat it all, she just smiled and didn't say anything. The wives around who saw this scene had to get together and say in a low voice, "The imperial concubine is really magnanimous and virtuous", as if they didn't realize that the imperial concubine's behavior was beyond the norm, and they secretly arranged for the concubine De to rely on her favor and not let the concubine go. in the eyes.
Concubine De barely kept her smile, annoyed.
It's not that they didn't mean to mock the noble concubine, after all, no matter how high the status of the noble concubine is, she is still a concubine, how can they match the phrase "virtuous and generous"? A concubine doesn't need to be virtuous and generous, that's what a regular wife needs. What they said was nothing more than seeing that the imperial concubine and the empress had a good relationship, so they couldn't help provoking them with their cheap words.
However, neither of the two great Buddhas paid any attention to the group of gossiping women who were making a fuss. They ate and chatted quietly, as if there was no one else around.
The empress dowager felt her eyes hurt, as if she recalled the fear of being dominated by the love of the two during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
She put down her chopsticks, thinking that she should hurry back to the palace. This place is too unfriendly to older widowed single nobles.
It is normal for the Empress Dowager to leave the banquet early. After all, people are "older", and there are always times when energy is low. It's just to save face if I accompany you two bites, do you still want to accompany the whole journey? Stop dreaming.
As the most honorable woman in the Great Yan Dynasty, she naturally came out as comfortable as she could. You have to be present at the palace banquet, so come out and show your face, and if you feel uncomfortable, go to a comfortable place to rest, no one dares to criticize anything.
His Majesty the Emperor specially sent someone to ask a few questions, for fear that the Empress Dowager might feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager's eyes only hurt, and she said that she was sleepy, so she went back to the palace to rest without hindrance.
The palace banquet at noon lasted for an hour and a half, and at about the same time, everyone dispersed to go to different places.
The men naturally went to the small school grounds of the Qiangong. Today the palace set up some small activities, such as Cuju and horse racing competitions, for young men to compete for rewards. Under the leadership of the eldest princess, the young girls followed happily to watch the fun.
This year, because of the war, the emperor didn't go to Autumn Hunting. The annual polo match, which was originally scheduled for autumn, naturally couldn't be held.
Ladies will not go, there are too many people there, they need to hide. I simply went to the imperial garden. It happened that the eldest princess and the others had vacated the imperial garden, and made it ready for the wives to enjoy the snow.
When the winter moon first entered, there was a thin snow in Huaijing, and then it melted the next day. After a few days, in the first two days, it started to fall again. Today the snow has stopped, the capital has accumulated a thick layer of snow, covered with snow, but it can't completely cover the evergreen plants, so the snow white and turquoise are very beautiful.
Everyone wrapped in thick robes and cloaks, put on hoods and walked slowly in the snow. The roads in the imperial garden have been cleaned vigorously, and it is not afraid to wet your shoes and freeze your feet if you step on them.
In such a cold day, those who are interested in enjoying the snow are not ordinary people.
Concubine Shen Gui has her own internal strength to protect her body, so she is not afraid of cold or heat. She abruptly leaned close to the queen, and with the help of the cloak, she took her little hand and quietly injected the Riling into her body to warm her body.
Empress Fu was indeed flattered and smiled at her.
The imperial concubine was suddenly flustered.
The two of them are not afraid of the cold anymore, but the other wives don't have this ability. Holding the hand warmer, after a while, he began to shiver uncontrollably. It's good that there is no wind, but when it blows, it will be very cold. The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is bone-chillingly cold, which is no better than that in the north.
The empress was sympathetic, and upon seeing this, she proposed to go back to Haiyan Palace to have tea to warm up. Naturally, everyone wanted to raise their hands and feet to agree, so a group of people went back to the house with a huff.
Concubine Shen Gui wanted to go see her daughter, so she greeted the empress and brought her over.
"This doesn't taste good." As soon as she entered the room, she heard Qingxi's baby voice, solemnly, like a little adult.
She took out the pastry from her stupid and cute cousin, threw it aside, wiped the foodie's hands with her small handkerchief, and gave Shen Liyi another piece of pastry with a milky scent.
"This is delicious." She said, "It's good to bite."
The concubine mother said that the little cousin's teeth haven't grown well yet, so don't feed him too hard food.
The newly brought pastries were sweet and melted in the mouth, and Shen Liyi fell in love with the taste immediately. He was overjoyed, but he gave one to Sister Qingxi very sensiblely.
Qingxi was very proud, and after eating the snacks, she showed off to her younger brothers: "My cousin is very good."
The boys all nodded in agreement.
Qingxi touched silly chubby's forehead contentedly: "But he is very small, you have to help me protect him."
Like a gangster who protects people.
Concubine Shen Gui wiped her face and held back her smile.
Shen Liyi was dumbfounded, he just cared about eating, and didn't know what his sister was talking about. When she found Shen Yuqing, she still clamored for a hug.
"How much have you eaten? Little greedy cat." Shen Yuqing poked his chubby face.
Qingxi immediately protected her younger brother behind her back: "I didn't eat much, Yiyi is very good."
She is a qualified elder sister, that is, she has learned to spoil children without a teacher. Fortunately, Shen Liyi didn't leave her to teach her, otherwise she doesn't know how spoiled she would be.
Shen Guifei cooperatively expressed her belief in her daughter's words, she didn't say anything, and she let this matter go. But I still sigh in my heart that the girl is extroverted, how she turned her elbows out so quickly, like an old mother bitterly.
"By the way, concubine mother." Qingxi looked at Concubine Shen with sparkling eyes, "I want to go out and play in the snow."
Shen Yuqing frowned slightly: "It's too cold, I frostbited my hands carefully."
Children don't understand that if frostbite develops, they will suffer a lot. Not only is it red, swollen, cracked, and bleeding, but it can also fester if it is not well-raised. The whole hands are horrible to look at. When the frostbite goes away, it will still itch, making people unable to resist scratching.
The worst thing is that if it is not raised well, it will be born every year in the second, third, and fourth years until later.
Shen Yuqing grew it when she was a child, and after she grew it once, she took care of it in the second year. I didn't expose my hands to the cold wind all winter, so I raised it well and never gave birth again.
As soon as she told Qingxi about this, Qingxi hesitated.
"Is it really that scary?" the little girl asked softly, looking at her mother pitifully.
Shen Yuqing hardened her heart and nodded seriously: "It's very itchy."
Qingxi is not afraid of pain, but very ticklish. She couldn't help scratching her hand, as if it was already starting to itch, and resentfully gave up the idea of building a snowman and having a snowball fight.
The snow is so cold, it’s okay if you don’t play, and your hands will freeze if you play. Anyway, in order to please her, the palace people built a lot of snowmen of all kinds in Fengyi Palace, she has seen enough.
"Forget it." She soon became happy again, and dragged Shen Liyi to play other things.
Shen Guifei wandered around in the side hall, and saw a few girls playing with building blocks, a few boys playing with wooden swords, and a few mixed groups playing with other things. In short, they were originally well-educated noble children, but they were brought back to their original state by Qingxi, showing their suppressed childishness.
—After the parents and seniors saw it, they wondered if they would be angry.
Forget it, when you start school, teach them well, and then you will not be allowed to play with things and lose your mind.
Concubine Shen Gui returned to the main hall, and continued to listen to a group of women chatting one after another, and the afternoon passed slowly. From time to time, palace maids and eunuchs came in to report news, for example, which young master won the first prize in this round, and which young master almost won. Another example is that the young lady couldn't help but compete with her best friend, and who won in the end.
Some families were happy and some were sad, but after all, many of their children were rewarded, and they were beaming for a while.
The palace banquet in the evening was naturally a joy for the guests and the host, and this Laba passed by in a lively manner.
At night, Concubine Shen held her sweetheart in her arms for a good night's sleep, while His Majesty the Emperor went to Concubine Mi's palace. I don't know if the other concubines slept well, anyway, Concubine De didn't sleep well.
Madam Su did not come to the Laba palace banquet, which was unexpected by Concubine De.
Mrs. Su is in good health, and has been present at all palace banquets, large and small, in previous years. This year, he did not attend the Laba palace banquet, saying that he had caught a cold and couldn't get out of bed now.
Originally, she wanted to hide it from Concubine De, but Concubine De saw that the wife did not have her own mother, so she had to ask. The grand maid Hongxiu went out to inquire about it, only to find out that this was the case.
The emperor didn't come to Yunxiang Palace, his mother was sick again, and he was ridiculed several times at the palace banquet. Concubine De felt that this Laba was terrible, and she was so angry that she didn't eat much for the dinner, and was very hungry in the middle of the night.
Hongxiu hurriedly brought a soup of lotus seeds and white fungus, and after a few words of persuasion, Concubine De was in a better mood.
"Hongxiu, I don't know how my mother is sick." Concubine De put down the empty bowl, looked at the faint candlelight, felt very wronged for a moment, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In this era, wind-cold is considered a serious illness. In winter, if you get wind and cold, you will lose your life if you are not careful. Although Concubine De is cold, she still has a sincere heart for her mother.
What's more, if the mother dies, the father will definitely marry the successor. Although my father is fifty-five years old, and marrying the second son may not be able to have children, but after all, Mrs. Su's position has been given to a stepmother she doesn't know, and I don't know if she will support her in the future, or , will provoke the relationship between her and her father.
Thinking about it now is really a bit far, Hongxiu hesitated for a while, and persuaded her own mother. There is no shadow, so why bother to bother yourself.
"That's all." Concubine De rinsed her mouth and lay down again, "You take my name card tomorrow and go ask some more imperial physicians to show mother."
I hate only hate, the concubine is not allowed to leave the palace at will without an edict, she can't even go back to her natal home, and she can't visit her seriously ill mother in person.
Hongxiu quickly responded: "Yes."
On the second day, she didn't dare to delay, she really invited a lot of imperial physicians, and asked them to go to the Su residence to see Mrs. Su.
The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand, as if he hadn't listened to the news reported by the kneeling guard.
He put down the memorial slowly, raised his hand to write the reply, and after putting down the pen, he raised his eyes and glanced at the hidden guard. There was an undisguised cold light in his eyes.
"Go down and clean it up."
Mrs. Su should pay for her abuse of Su Qiaorong for so long. Whether she can survive the "wind chill" this time depends on whether she is lucky or not.
Originally, the emperor didn't want to do this, but she was only to blame for finding some news that Mrs. Su deliberately treated her eldest daughter coldly when she was a child. If it wasn't for Su Qiaorong's fate, she would have been trampled to death long ago. It's just one thing to indulge the maid to open the window wide at night in winter, causing Miss Su to catch a cold and almost unable to survive.
The emperor just used his own way to treat his own body, so that Mrs. Su could also taste the cold wind in the winter night.
It was also because of her bad luck that it happened that it was snowing heavily in the middle of the night, and a lot of snowflakes came into the house. At this moment, the whole body was burning up, and it didn't get better after drinking the medicine.
She better not just die like this, the emperor still wants to pay back all the things she did one by one. This wind and cold is just the first one.
"Madam Su is sick?" Concubine Shen Gui and the empress were huddling affectionately in the soft side, taking a thin quilt to cover their legs and feet, reading the script together, when they suddenly heard the news.
"Oh, let me tell you, I didn't see her at the banquet yesterday." Concubine Shen replied indifferently, then turned around and complained to the queen that the lady from the official family in the storybook had a brain hole.
There are so many good men in the world, but he just fell in love with a stupid scholar. Is the son of the family not good? Why can't you compare to a nerd
The queen waved her hand helplessly: "Come on, what's more true than a story?"
Concubine Shen Gui snorted, the script must be logical. Written like this, it will be loved by silly girls and poor boys who like delusions.
