Kunning Palace
Zong Duo walked all the way in, and saw the maids in the palace beaming, and two of them were holding red cloths in their hands. After entering, he first bowed to his mother, and then he asked: "My queen, what kind of wedding is going to be held in the palace?"
Empress Chen said: "There's no such thing as a happy event. Fu Xia is going out of the palace to get married. The queen mother thinks that she has been with the queen mother for many years. There is no merit but hard work. When she goes out of the palace, she must make her more beautiful. Someone prepared some dowry for her."
Zong Duo was a little surprised: "So Aunt Fu Xia is leaving the palace?"
Not to mention Zong Duo was surprised, when Fu Xia told Queen Chen about this, Queen Chen was also surprised. After all, it was the old man who was by his side, Fu Xia also had parents in his family, and Empress Chen couldn't prevent people from going out of the palace to have a family reunion.
Thinking that this was the first time when she was an empress, the maid beside her came out of the palace, Empress Chen wanted to make things more beautiful, so she also rewarded Fu Xia with a lot of things in the past two days.
"Your Aunt Fu Xia has also reached her age, so it won't be appropriate to procrastinate."
Zong Duo couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, so he didn't say anything.
Empress Chen looked at him, and saw that his face finally turned red, and she smiled: "Mother told the mother to make you a tonic soup every day, and you should take care of your health even if you read books, so don't secretly memorize it." I don’t care about my body after seeing my mother, otherwise the next time my mother will be more than just a matter of hitting the board.”
Ever since the scene where Zong Duo fell ill last winter, Empress Chen would say this every now and then. It was because Zong Duo coughed so badly that time that he coughed intermittently for more than three months before he got better. Unexpectedly, there was a relapse in the spring. The imperial doctor said that everything would recover in spring, and some serious illnesses would relapse. The medicine was taken every day, and it was finally completely cured when it was almost summer.
The person is recovering now, but it is not without sequelae. The imperial doctor told me to keep warm when it is cold, lest it becomes a root, and it will be difficult to cure after relapse. But it was also because of this illness that many people had a deeper understanding of the First Prince's frailty. Empress Chen felt that the impediment of being crowned prince was precisely related to this illness.
But it was too late to say this now, and it was impossible for her to tell Zong Duo about it. After this incident, Empress Chen realized that her son was a heavy-hearted person, and she didn't want him to think too much about burdening her body.
"The son will remember what the queen mother said, and he will never force himself to work hard." At the end, Zong Duo lowered his head, but Empress Chen didn't pay attention to this scene because she saw Wang Donglai flashing at the door.
While thinking about what else Wang Donglai had to report, she patted her son on the shoulder, then said a few words to him, and Zong Duo left.
After they left, Wang Donglai came in.
Empress Chen said coldly, "What's the matter?"
Don't look at her with such a look, in fact, after using Wang Donglai for a while, she has indeed helped her a lot. After all, Wang Donglai's early appearance has always made her a little bit worried, so she doesn't have a good face towards this person .
"It stands to reason that at this time, the servant shouldn't say it to disappoint the empress. After all, Fu Xia has been with the empress for many years, and the servant has hesitated for several days..."
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be vague."
In fact, Empress Chen didn't understand that if she hesitated, people would not appear in front of her. Wang Donglai made it clear that she had something to say against Fu Xia.
But Fu Xia, for some reason, Empress Chen had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Xiao Kezi under the servant found that Fu Xia and Bai Shu of Jingren Palace had frequent contacts, and they had already contacted people twice in the past few days. I didn't see what it was, but Fu Xia had someone take it out of the palace the next day."
Originally, at the beginning, Empress Chen heard a sneer on her face, but after listening to it, she realized something was wrong and frowned.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Of course the servant is sure. If it wasn't for the confirmation, the servant would not dare to report to the empress."
Empress Chen thought for a while, and said: "Okay, I know about this, you can go down."
Wang Donglai was busy.
After getting out of the hall, after walking some distance, Xiao Kezi followed. …
"Brother Wang, can this be done? Fu Xia is about to leave the palace, so fuck her at this time..."
"So it's our kindness. Anyway, she is going to leave the palace. At this time, everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Shu's palace has sent people to deliver things, and the queen will not do anything to Fu Xia. What is it? If she doesn't mess with her, flies don't bite seamless eggs, if she doesn't act shamelessly, can we catch it?"
Xiao Kezi didn't dare to speak, he couldn't say that Brother Wang said he was a fly.
"After this experience, the empress should know that no matter if it's her own or those in the palace, whoever is useful is a slave."
"I'm afraid that if this incident provokes a fight between Empress Empress and Concubine Su Gui..."
Wang Donglai glanced at Xiao Kezi, but said in his heart without saying anything, he just wanted to fight, and if there was no fight, there would be no place for the servants to work. I thought there was no fight, but it has already started, naive!
But he won't tell little Ke Ziming about this.
When Wang Dong came to inform, Fu Chun was also there.
After the people left, Fu Chun said: "Mother, don't listen to Wang Donglai's instigation, Bai Shu belongs to us, few people know about it."
"But Ben Gong didn't tell her to contact Bai Shu recently."
Fu Chun stopped talking immediately.
"Go and call Fu Xia, and I will ask her."
"Young maidservant, I'll go right away, ma'am, Fu Xia can't possibly betray you, her father and mother are all in the mansion." Fu Chun said hesitantly, and went down.
Not long after, Fu Xia came over with Fu Chun.
It could be seen that Fu Chun begged for mercy, but he didn't tell Fu Xia what happened in advance, so Fu Xia's face was a little happy, probably thinking that the empress of another palace rewarded her with something.
Empress Chen glanced at Fu Chun, and Fu Chun stepped forward and told about Wang Donglai's informant.
"Fu Xia, please tell your empress what's going on?"
Subconsciously, Fu Xia wondered if she secretly carried the empress behind her back, planning to get out of the palace, and the empress knew about it. Then I thought that what Wang Donglai reported was that she had a close relationship with Baishu, but the empress didn't know about it.
If it was this matter, she would not be afraid, but Fu Xia still looked at Empress Chen hesitantly and said: "This matter was ordered by Hu Po, who is next to the Second Madam, and said that it was an errand ordered by the master of the mansion."
"The master of the mansion, which master?" Empress Chen quickly recognized the ambiguity in Fu Xia's voice.
"This servant is not clear about this matter, and I dare not ask too much. Sister Fuchun should know what is going on. Sister Fuchun, you have to testify to my sister. The servant really did not betray the master."
Empress Chen's gaze shifted to Fu Chun's body, and Fu Chun knelt down with a plop.
In fact, to make this matter clear, we have to talk about it before.
At that time, Empress Chen had just married the crown prince, so their identities were different. The Chen family was also afraid that the crown prince would be plotted against by others in the palace, so they told the crown prince the names of several people and told her that these people could be used.
After all, the Chen family's energy in the palace is limited, even if they send people inside, they can't arrange whoever they want, so these people are either working in the East Palace, or in Kun The errands of the Ning Palace and the Compassion Ning Palace are all available to the Crown Princess.
It is also part of the hands of the few people that the Chen family can come up with that can be on the stage.
The princess got the list at the time, but she was happy for a while, because it meant that she had entered the core of the Chen family, and she was no longer the seventh girl of the Chen family who couldn't make decisions about many things.
At that time, she didn't think that since the Chen family could take out this part of the people, they must have other people in their hands. It is impossible to hand all these people into her hands. After all, the Chen family also has its own uses. Maybe she thought about it too, but she couldn't stop this situation.
Later, as these people in the hands of the crown princess were gradually lost, the Chen family also added a few more, and Bai Shu was one of them, and the list of people was all through a certain female family member of the Chen family who came to the palace to visit the crown princess. , passed in. Occasionally, the Chen family would also order them to do other things, such as inquiring about certain news, which would not go through the Crown Princess.
In the same way, these people... are members of the Chen family and are under the control of the Chen family. Can Fu Chun and Fu Xia be an exception? They are also from the Chen family, and my mother is in the Chen family. Could it be that the Chen family ordered them to do things
Occasionally passing news, or doing something, it is inevitable that they will be used. Most of them don't know how to ask carefully, and they don't get involved too deeply.
These princesses are well aware of them, she has encountered them before, and she was a little unhappy, but she didn't ask much. Over time, it has become a convention.
It's just that as her status has gradually changed, she used to be a princess, but now she is a queen, and she has an eldest son by her side, so her mentality will naturally change. Since she just asked, "The master in the mansion, which master?" It can be seen that this is also the reason why Fu Chun knelt down.
After all, as Empress Chen's confidant, she couldn't be more aware of the changes in her master's mentality.
The explanation is needless to explain, the reason why Fu Xia didn't report the things he did for the Chen family was here. This is not what Empress Chen is concerned about now. Apart from the anger that the family still doesn't change their behavior and seems to ignore her, she also cares about what the Chen family asked Fuxia to help contact Baishu.
"The servant doesn't know what to do. A few days ago when the second lady entered the palace, Amber asked Bai Shu to come out. The two seemed to have said something. The next day, Baishu gave the servant something and asked the servant to find someone to take it out of the palace and give it to him. Amber." Fu Xia said.
"what?"
This Fu Xia knows, after all she finds someone to take her out of the palace, even if she is the maid of honor next to the empress, if she brings something that shouldn't be taken out of the palace, she will inevitably go to the Department of Punishment.
"It's a piece of paper, it looks like a flower, but it looks like a picture of a jade pendant."
"Is it a flower pattern, or a picture of a jade pendant?" Empress Chen was a little impatient with Fu Xia's ambiguity.
"It should be a pattern of a jade pendant, but the style of the jade pendant is too simple, there is nothing on it, just the word 'Yuan'."
"Yuanzi?"
"It's Yuan next to the character for female, Chan Yuan, and Shu Yuan's Yuan."
Empress Chen was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Go, go and draw the picture for me to see."
Her appearance scared Fu Chun and Fu Xia a bit, they didn't bother to kneel down, Fu Xia hurried out, apparently to the study. Empress Chen was worried, and followed. Fu Chun was full of doubts, but followed.
Soon Fu Xia's picture was finished. Although his drawing skills were extremely poor, he could see what the original shape was.
It is a round object with the Chinese character Yuan engraved on it.
Fu Chun and Fu Xia couldn't see anything at all, but how could Empress Chen not see it.
She thought she had forgotten this thing, but in fact some memories could not be forgotten even if they were buried deeply.
"Seventh Sister..."
…
That little girl is very cute, with a sweet smile and big and bright eyes.
At that time, she had already gone to her grandmother for two years, and she also understood a lot of things. She knew that she should not like her, and that it was her mother who caused her mother to cry every day, so she was sent to her grandmother.
But every time she comes to her grandmother, she likes to pester and play with her.
Mother Chen said, oh, it was still Mother Chen at that time. Mother Chen said, tell her not to get close to ten girls, don't think ten girls are small, but she is actually a small person, and she didn't see how much the old lady liked her.
He also said that Aunt Wang was raised by the old lady at the beginning, and now seeing that the seventh girl is favored by the old lady, she sent the tenth girl to compete for favor.
Miss Ten is pestering you on purpose, she just wants to stay in Rong'an Hall for a while and please the old lady more, you can't let her do what she wants.
If at that time the old lady wants to raise the tenth girl and does not support the seventh girl, you will move out of Rong'an Hall.
At that time, there were many sisters in the family, but she was the first honor, just because she was raised in Rong'an Hall, and even the mother was raised in Rong'an Hall because of her, those low-skinned slaves finally dared not make jokes in front of others .
If she moves out of Rong'an Hall...
Since then, she didn't like her anymore. People smiled at her, treated her well, and took her to play, but the queen ignored her. But she still likes to pester her to play.
That's right, she is too young... She can't tell the enemy from us at all, I don't know that from the moment she was born, they were destined to be enemies.
Dad seems to be very happy that they are getting along well, so she treats her even better, and when she is good, she surrounds herself and calls Seventh Sister every day.
until that day...
