The Noble Consort’s Pet Empress

Chapter 67: ⑥⑦Cousin

Views:

After the two wives left, Concubine Mi didn't say much, she got up and left.

Concubine Shen naturally didn't want to stay too long, so she also pretended to leave. Turn around, touch back quietly again.

The days didn't seem to change because of Zhengxi Army's return to Beijing. At most, there was an active Xiao family in the capital, and Mrs. Xiao was worried about finding a good husband for her daughters every day. Among her three daughters and five sons, one and two are of marriageable age, but none of these three are married. She is not worried about her son, but mainly about her daughter, who has a pungent temper. She is very worried that the group of ladies in the capital with their eyes above the top will look down on her daughter.

However, Concubine Shen Gui quickly solved this problem for her, and asked Shen Yuxun, the second daughter of the Shen family, and the three Miss Xiao to enter the palace to accompany her on the pretext of being lonely during pregnancy.

The three Xiao girls are in different grades, the oldest is fourteen years old, and the youngest is only nine years old. It is said that Mrs. Xiao gave birth to four sons in a row before giving birth to two daughters, and the last son and daughter were twins. If it weren't for the injury caused by giving birth to twins, I'm afraid this lady could continue to give birth.

Ding Xingwang, a member of the Xiao family, made many people in the capital red-eyed with jealousy, especially the childless wife, who gathered around her to learn Buddhist scriptures when he caught Mrs. Xiao attending a banquet. Even if you can't learn how to have a son, it's good to be blessed.

Mrs. Xiao suffered from headaches, and the monkeys in the family were still tossing and tossing around every day. When Concubine Shen conveyed her intentions, she was very relieved, and then thankfully sent the three daughters to the palace.

Anyway, she trusted her niece and knew that she would not cheat her daughter into the palace. And after entering the palace, with the guidance of the empress, it will be like being plated with gold, and it will be easier to manage the marriage when it comes out.

Speaking of her three daughters, they really have different personalities, being hot and spicy is only one aspect, and they are very different in other aspects.

Let’s just talk about the eldest daughter Xiao Qianhan, who looks like a Pianpianjia young man, every day she disguises herself as a man and goes out on the streets, and then brings home a bunch of embroidered handkerchiefs and sachets for her mother to show off. Passed out.

The second daughter, Xiao Qianming, is well-behaved and pleasant, but she seems to distrust any man, worrying with her every day that her future husband will be like this, and the final conclusion is the same: it's better to castrate directly in the bridal chamber.

The third daughter, Xiao Qianling, is a demon king, jumping up and down at home to make troubles and troubles, but her twin brother is always pampered and tolerant, and every time he takes the initiative to stand up and take the blame, so she can't punish her daughter. To be reasonable, her son is only nine years old, he is sensible and smart like a little adult, and he is good at everything, so she has no choice but to spoil her sister.

Now that the imperial concubine is willing to take these three hot potatoes, she is about to weep with joy. Jingcheng can't let her group of daughters toss about. If she offends any nobleman, she is not sure whether the other party will let them go because of "this is the cousin of the imperial concubine".

Every time Mrs. Xiao looked at her natal second niece Shen Yuxun, she wished that she was her own.

#Why are other people’s daughters so good#

Presumably all mothers in the world want to discuss this topic together.

Concubine Shen Gui is not afraid of what these girls will do, disobedient? Just a good beating.

On the contrary, there was a lot of gossip outside, and everyone speculated with ill intentions that Concubine Shen was pregnant because she wanted to support her cousin to win over the emperor, so that no one would take advantage of her pregnancy to win over the emperor's heart.

What do you say that one of the four girls who entered the palace is already engaged? The other two are too young to enter the palace now? What's the matter, isn't there another girl from the Xiao family? Fourteen years old, barely fifteen years old! As for the other three, they were obviously used as a cover, otherwise wouldn't it be that Concubine Shen's plans were too naked-naked

Concubine Shen did not respond to these rumors, but her original intention was to give her sisters a hand, not to let others gossip about them. So she directly ordered the palace to be closed, except for taking the girls to the imperial garden and other places occasionally, let them stay in the Jianjia palace. Not only that, she also rejected the emperor's coming, and told the empress to punish the gossip.

After such a series of eliminations and fights, the effect is obvious.

Those who deliberately spread gossip were just trying to spoil Concubine Shen Gui's careful thought of letting her younger sister enter the palace. Seeing that Concubine Shen was so terrific, they simply refused to let her sister and the emperor have a chance to meet. The heart is like a gentleman's belly. Maybe the noble concubine is really just pregnant and misses her family, but she can't see her mother all the time, so she can only invite some unmarried girls to accompany her

But Concubine Shen's daring to do this really made them admire. Most people are very worried about falling out of favor, even if they are pregnant, they still want to hold on to the emperor, for fear that the old Zhuhuang emperor will not favor them after giving birth to a child, and even ignore the newborn. But after thinking about it, they felt that Concubine Shen Gui didn't have to worry about these things at all, this was the second child of His Majesty the Emperor, so naturally she would not be ignored. Concubine Shen Gui can completely see the emperor, and she doesn't have to worry about being ignored.

What's more, most women don't look good during pregnancy, with spots on their faces and stomachs. During pregnancy, the temper will also be cloudy or cloudy, and it is not worthwhile to offend the emperor. What's more, when you have a baby, you have to confine yourself to confinement after giving birth, the smell in the room is unpleasant, and the mother will look a little sloppy, which is very ruined.

In such a comparison, Shen Yuqing might as well just close the door and let the emperor think about the child every day, but he just doesn't care. This move is much more clever than holding on to the emperor.

At this moment, Concubine Shen was leisurely half leaning on the couch, enjoying the service of several beautiful girls around her.

Because Shen Yuxun was waiting to be married, Concubine Shen Gui couldn't handle her very well, so she asked the nanny to teach her some things that she could use in the future. Anyway, Shen Yuxun is going to have a baby sooner or later, so it's not a waste of time to learn about pregnancy and postpartum care in advance.

His Majesty the Emperor assigned Concubine Shen Gui the best nanny, she knew these things in great detail, and her methods were better than ordinary people. Shen Yuxun basically listened and memorized every word with a shy and grateful heart.

They were teaching not far from Concubine Shen, and let Concubine Shen listen to it by the way, so that she could better pretend to be pregnant. But other girls are not so lucky.

For example, Qianhan, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, because she likes to dress up as a man, Concubine Shen simply pretends to be whatever she wants, with only one request - to make her happy. So Miss Qianhan turned into Mr. Xiao, holding a folding fan all over Jianjia Palace every day to tease the little maids. Although the maid of honor knew that she was a young lady, she still couldn't control her blushing when it was time to be shy, which made Concubine Shen Gui watch many good shows.

Xiao Qianhan was also very satisfied, thinking that this cousin really fit her heart. What happened to her flirting with girls in men's clothing? If it wasn't for the fact that the girls in women's clothes wouldn't be molested, she wouldn't be bothered to wear men's clothes.

"Why can't you flirt in women's clothing?" During the study break, Shen Yuxun asked curiously.

Xiao Qianhan sighed: "Second cousin, you don't know, those women always regard me as a rival in love, and when I get close, I feel that I want to frame them, so they stay away from me."

God knows that she didn't come close to push and trip people, but just to touch her little face!

"You like girls?" Shen Guifei opened her eyes and glanced at her, "Aren't you afraid that your mother will break your legs?"

"Everyone has the desire to love beauty." Xiao Qianhan eloquently said, "I just touch beauties. Who told those men not to touch them? They always say that men and women can't get along with each other. Besides, I don't bother to touch them, a bunch of rough old men The men in the capital are not that rough, but they pay more attention to etiquette, and they have to stay far away when they say a word, as if I would eat them."

Concubine Shen Gui didn't pay attention to her anymore, it's just her face control, it doesn't matter if she really went astray. Although Concubine Shen doesn't think there is anything wrong with liking women, but for the local girls, it's better to find a man to live honestly, without having to bear the oppression of the world.

The second lady, Qian Ming, embroidered bellybands and socks for the future child of the imperial concubine, and answered with a smile: "Hey, men are not good things. Now they pretend to be gentlemen, and they will change their original shape when they get married." It's revealed. When the time comes, the concubine will carry it home room by room, and there will be piles of pink confidants outside, which will be disgusting. If you want me to say it, it's still huh huh!"

The rest of the words were suppressed by the third girl, Qian Ling, who saw that the atmosphere was not right.

She was scared of being beaten by Concubine Shen recently, and also scared of being tossed about by the teachings of several nuns. She quietly glanced at the other nun next to her, and when she saw the "loving" smile on the other side, she suddenly felt even worse.

Hey, her silly second sister! It's fine to talk to your mother about the latter in your own home, but you have to hear it... Miss Qianling shuddered, always feeling that her second sister was insecure.

While the third younger sister was thinking about the top ten tortures, the second sister struggled to break free from her younger sister's shackles. Just about to curl her lips to say something, when she saw the nanny, she immediately became cute. He changed his words solemnly: "If you want me to say, you should learn the art of Yufu well, so that he doesn't have the courage to go out and hook up!"

Only then did Mammy let her go, and looked at the third younger sister with sharp eyes.

Little sister Qianling froze, and hurried back to Concubine Shen, and began to beat her cousin's back and legs, not daring to be lazy at all.

Concubine Shen Gui didn't feel guilty about bullying the child at all, she demanded too much. For a while, she said that her arms were sore and needed to be pounded, and for a while she said that her neck was sore and needed to be pinched, and for a while she said that she was thirsty and hungry, and asked her to serve her snacks and tea.

Qianling almost wanted to blow her hair, but thinking of how she was beaten into a pig's head after she uncovered the glazed tiles of Jianjia Palace two days ago, she wilted again.

I don't know what kind of wound my cousin gave her. The swollen face recovered within two days without disfigurement. She was scared to death before, because she was afraid that after the swelling subsided, she would face an ugly face.

When the empress came to chat routinely, Qianling was finally relieved. The little animal's self-consciousness told her that the empress didn't like to see her get too close to the eldest cousin, so once she came, the eldest cousin would no longer enslave her and make her beat her back.

However, she wanted to serve tea and water to the two empresses.

—It’s better than before QAQ!

God knows why the eldest cousin has so many things to do, and she can't beat her back too hard or lightly. If she had known about such a toss, she might as well just stay at home and be her third lady! There is no need to enter the palace to serve people!

"Are you bullying this little girl again?" The Empress felt amused when she saw her relieved appearance.

Concubine Shen Gui argued eloquently: "I did this at her mother's request, to grind her temper."

The second girl, Qian Ling, took advantage of Bixi's time to change the colored threads on the embroidery needles for her, and looked up at the two empresses who were chatting happily, and blinked. Before entering the palace, her mother was worried that the empress would bully the eldest cousin if they had a bad relationship with her. From her point of view, the relationship between the two was clearly very good.

Well, next time I go home and tell my mother, mother should not be worried anymore, right

The empress here was too lazy to listen to Shen Yuqing's nonsense, she did not enslave others after receiving the tea from the little girl, and waved her to let her go to rest. As if she had been pardoned, Qianling girl jumped to Shen Yuxun's side in two or three steps.

She would rather follow the second cousin to listen to these childbirth matters than serve the first cousin!

"Where's the eldest girl of the Xiao family?" The empress looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

Shen Yuqing also scanned around: "Gang'er is still there, I guess he sneaked out."

Among the three ladies, only the second one can sit quietly, the eldest and the third can't wait to run around the world every day. But they also knew how to behave, and they didn't dare to rush out of the Jianjia Palace, so the boss must have gone to find some little maid to flirt with.

"Hey, my eldest cousin said that she in my palace is getting tired of teasing her, when will you let her go to your place for a while?" Shen Guifei leaned over and whispered to the empress empress.

The Empress raised her eyebrows: "What's your plan?"

Concubine Shen pointed to the sky and swore: "Absolutely not, I just cared about that girl when I saw you, and I got jealous."

The voice of this sentence is not good, no one except the empress empress knows. But the queen's face was still reddish, and she stretched out her hand to pull her thick skin.

"Come on, let her follow you to greet me tomorrow, and then let her play for a while." Empress Fu let go, and after thinking about it, she added, "Next time I come to your place, I will bring someone else to tease her." .”

Concubine Shen Gui smiled wickedly: "She will definitely be very grateful to me!"

—However, the maids in the empress's palace are all good at martial arts. Moreover, they usually look gentle and obedient, but if they molested them, they would definitely make you suffer.

This group of palace ladies are not carefully trained and loyal palace people at all, but female guards trained by special means. The ability may not be as strong as the dark guard, but it is enough to take care of Xiao Qianhan.

The men of the Xiao family are highly skilled in martial arts, and have learned how to kill the enemy in battle, but the girl of the Xiao family has not learned it. These three girls all love beauty very much, and they can't stand being sweaty and unsightly, so they really don't have much skill in their hands, and they follow their mothers to be their ladies.

As if she hadn't helped her daughter-in-law to deceive others just now, Empress Fu talked about other things to Concubine Shen in a serious manner. It's nothing more than a minor trouble in palace affairs, so let's talk about it by the way, so that I can feel more at ease.

Ever since Concubine Shen Gui became pregnant, she threw the palace authority out on the pretext that it was not conducive to raising a baby. Concubine Mi was not interested in intervening in seeking power, so she took advantage of Mrs. Shu and the next two concubines.

It is naturally inappropriate for Mrs. Shu to take over half of the palace affairs by herself, so the Empress ordered Concubine Xi and Concubine Xiang to help. Then re-divided the places that everyone was in charge of, and took back the three luscious places that Shen Yuqing managed before, and the remaining three were not luscious and cumbersome, and they were thrown to the three concubines.

She didn't dare to throw oily things to these three people, otherwise the palace wouldn't know how dirty it would be. Moreover, these three monks with a lot of oil and water are also easy to be harmed by others, so it is better to control them in their own hands. It's just that things are cumbersome, and she has a headache these days.

As for the others, the two concubines have nothing to say, mainly Mrs. Shu. She is also a wife, and it is difficult to explain as much as the two concubines, so the empress also threw the House of Internal Affairs in the hands of Concubine Shen to Madam Shu. This is a lot of oil and water, but with Mrs. Wan's affairs before, Mrs. Shu dare not intervene for a while. Even if you are greedy, you dare not be too greedy.

In addition, the imperial merchants purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been re-determined, and there is nothing wrong with the big and small managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Mrs. Shu has no place to fill anyone she wants, so there is no need to worry about her tossing. In her hands, this House of Internal Affairs is like a tasteless one, it's a pity to throw it away if it's tasteless. On the contrary, it was the Shangyi bureau assigned to her, at least she could use an excuse to make some troubles.

Shangyi Bureau has a music department, which is in charge of music, and its subordinate organization, Jiaofang, has dancers and musicians. Madam Shu relied on these people to encircle the emperor back to her palace. Jian Tiandi recruited them to perform at Feiyue Palace, and sometimes he even asked them to be backup dancers for the emperor to dance together.

His Majesty the Emperor looked fresh, and recently he doted on her.

The empress did not respond to this, and was even a little indifferent. Who does she care about her younger brother's pet? Anyway, it's just a joke.

What made the empress make the move to run to Jianjia Palace every day was actually another matter. Of course, there are also reasons why she misses Concubine Shen, but Concubine Shen comes to pay her respects every day, and it's not been a long time since she hasn't seen her, and she doesn't want to go anywhere.

Everyone in the whole palace was a little surprised why the empress always ran to Jianjia Palace, didn't she mean that she had a falling out with Concubine Shen Gui

The mainstream guess is that the Empress is going to provoke Concubine Shen, because Concubine Shen lost the imperial power—it is not known that Concubine Shen surrendered it on her own initiative, and only saw the final result of a royal power being transferred to someone else.

Some people think that the queen is acting to show her virtuousness. Who told the queen to have nothing to do for three years, and there was only one princess in the palace. Many people in Huaijing privately speculated that the empress was jealous and resorted to tricks to prevent the concubine from having children. It just so happened that Concubine Shen could not leave the palace, and hadn't seen the emperor for many days. The empress felt that she had no threat of competition recently, so she ran here on the pretext of visiting and enlightening pregnant women.

But in fact, the above reasons are all nonsense.

Concubine Shen Gui asked several times, but she didn't find out the real reason, so she stopped asking. You'll know sooner or later anyway, don't worry.

For example, today, the truth was revealed to her unexpectedly.

Man Xing girl opened the bead curtain with a strange expression and came in: "Your Majesty, Princess Qixue is asking to see you outside."

"Why did girl Qi Xue think of coming to me?" Shen Guifei asked strangely.

Last year, Qixue was busy pestering that handsome monk, and then she was busy holding various banquets and going to various palaces with her little sisters. So crazy, so crazy until now.

It's more than May, and during this period, the number of times Her Royal Highness Princess Chang took the initiative to enter the palace can be counted on one's fingers. If it wasn't for the Empress Dowager who cared so much about her daughter and would often call her into the palace, it would be rare for anyone in the palace to see her.

But every time she came, Concubine Shen Gui and the Empress would go to Shoukang Palace to have a meal with her and chat with her, and then she would rush out again. She actually came to look for her today, it was like the sun came out from the west.

Could it be that she recalled "Little Huang's Sister-in-law's flourishing beauty" again

Concubine Shen shuddered, she really didn't want to deal with this Her Royal Highness who might turn into a fan girl at any time.

Empress Empress was a little embarrassed, and said helplessly in a low voice: "I'm afraid they came to look for me..."

The imperial concubine: "..." Oh, no wonder you run to my place every day, so you are hiding from my sister-in-law.

Outside, Princess Qixue entered the palace several times, except for the first time, she couldn't see the emperor's wife every time after that, but she was persistent and came every day when she didn't see anyone. It's just that the people in Fengyi Palace don't give face, and refuse to say where sister Qiushui has gone.

Fortunately, she was clever today and sneaked into the palace quietly, threatening the gatekeeper not to inform the queen of her entry, let her be caught at last!

Today, Princess Qixue followed the empress's phoenix and quietly came to Jianjia Palace.

She should have thought of it a long time ago, where else could the sister-in-law go? She must have gone to find the little queen's wife!

Qi Xue stomped her wrists regretfully, and followed the maid into the room.

As soon as she entered the door, before she saw anyone, she yelled first: "Sister-in-law Huang, how are you thinking about the things you should consider?"

Mrs. Fu Huang: "..." Can she pretend to be dead? !

As a last resort, the Empress had no choice but to look at Concubine Shen Gui for help, telling her to find a way to stop this little ancestor.

The imperial concubine is also at a loss, so it's okay for me to stop someone, but first tell me what the other party wants you to think about. Not knowing the cause and effect, how could she fool people away

The empress understood her eyes, and immediately slapped her head, oh, she forgot to tell Shen Yuqing.
