Inheritance policy

Chapter 152

In the imperial city, it is covered in silver.

The first snow in Dingjing City fell when Xing Zhao went to send Mrs. He and Xing Ming out of the palace gate. In the dusk under the twilight, there were snow particles falling down, and there were still The reddish eye sockets of the little lady beside the green curtained carriage.

It's like a painting of ink and wash, and it's like a sad poem.

Xing Zhao absently scooped up a spoonful of white porridge, while Mu Mu stared blankly at the white mist curling up.

".Clear out all the carved silk and makeup flowers in the warehouse. Huanyi will reward two horses, Cihe Palace will reward two horses, and make some new clothes for Ah Wu." Queen Fang leaned on the soft satin cushion and looked up. Looking at Xing Zhao, who looked sullen, he put down the booklet, and touched the little lady's forehead with the back of his hand: "Since He Sanniang left the palace, you look a little uneasy, what's wrong?"

The little lady drooped her eyes, she didn't move the porridge, she just put the spoon back on the plate and put her hands neatly on her lap.

Her mind was in a mess, she was sweating for Xing Ming, but also lamented the impermanence of the world.

That day, Xingming kept silent, so she had no choice but to be straightforward: "What should you do? Pry out the wife of Eldest Brother Afan? Going to be a young lady from a dignified family? You can't do both of these things." , why bother to care about that impossible person? Life is always going to pass, and anyone can grit their teeth and live without it. Let me ask you again, does elder brother Afan like you? This should only be the third sister's Wishful thinking, right? Taking a step back, even Eldest Brother A Fan likes Third Sister, but he still has a regular wife and legitimate son, whoever hires him as a wife, and whoever runs away as a concubine. You live slowly. People live for a lifetime, not only for themselves, but also think about your mother! If there is a slight violation of the rules between behaviors, it will be forever! A mistake will cause eternal hatred, third sister, you Think twice!"

As a younger sister, these words are really too presumptuous.

But she was really scared, she was used to stories of women flying moths into flames, only to be burnt to ashes by the flames in the end, she was afraid that Xing Ming's carelessness would ruin her life.

Her mother had a soft personality, so she coaxed her slowly, and finally lost her.

Thinking about it now, I really regret it.

Xing Zhao still remembers Xing Ming's expression at that time. The little lady was sad, but she was not confused. After a while, she pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I never thought about what to do. I can't choose who to be happy with, but I can choose whether or not to persist."

A short sentence made Xing Zhao suddenly lose his words, and he almost burst into tears when he was stunned.

Xingming just wanted to tell others about his youthful and charming feelings. She couldn't tell the second wife, nor could she tell the maids. She held back for so long just to tell her these words.

After finishing talking, forget about this matter.

After that, Huanyi came over, and the first snow of the year fell on the ground without any haste.

Empress Fang leaned out half of her body with a smile, took the little lady's hand, and said to Jiang Mingying with a smile: "I have heard of bitter summer, but I have never heard of bitter winter. What's the matter? If you really feel uncomfortable In a few days, we are not allowed to go to Yuhua Lane to blow air!"

"Auntie!" Xing Zhao became anxious when he heard it, and finally came to his senses, "You are not allowed to go back on your word! You have promised uncle!"

Fang Qi's wife, Xingshi, wrote a letter, saying that she rushed to Beijing to take advantage of the year before, and she couldn't say that Yuhua Lane didn't have a hostess for the New Year.

Xing Zhao also read the letter, and Xing's actions and words were very crisp, and his aunt, who hadn't seen much in the previous life, seemed to stand up between the lines.

Empress Fang was also willing to let Mrs. Xing come to Beijing earlier, and smiled and embraced Xing Zhao: "Don't tell me what you said!" As far as Najib made up his mind, first spread the news that Mrs. He and his family are going to get married. I am afraid that Mrs. He will be a hindrance. If you go out less, you are afraid that you will be hard to guard against."

Empress Fang's concerns were justified, and Xing Zhao also felt that it would be better for Xing Ming to be quiet.

It takes two years to forget one person, and then prepare to accept another person, is it enough?
Xingzhao rolled his eyes, and took the initiative to lead the conversation to the previous court: "The war in the Northwest is settled, General Qin Boling will always take his troops back to Guizhou, right? Liang Pinggong died, and his uncle Zhili Central Committee has left a position of governor of the Northwest." Who is going to eat a piece of meat in the Northwest? My aunt took her cousin to Beijing and left the Northwest there.”

The meaning of Xingzhao, Queen Fang knew the second after hearing it.

"Northwest is the old lair of the Fang family. Whoever wants to take a bite without iron teeth and copper teeth is purely looking for death." Queen Fang doesn't believe in Buddhism, and she doesn't have that much kindness. What is held in her hands is hers, and she is the only one who doesn't want it. Only others are allowed to touch it, "Originally, I was afraid that Gu Shiling would take advantage of the chaos to occupy the Northwest. Who would have thought that the Empress Dowager Gu fell ill, and it happened so coincidentally. I guess the emperor didn't think so much, and only focused on promoting him to make up for it. , a decree called Gu Shiling back, and at the same time, it can be regarded as completely eradicating the idea and possibility of the Gu family fighting for the northwest."

Xing Zhao originally wanted to take a pen and paper to write down Queen Fang's words.

Now she really does.
Empress Fang looked at Xingzhao who was walking around the dragon with the hanging pen, and patted the little lady's head dumbfoundingly, and continued: "The Fang family captured him alive because of his outstanding military achievements. The emperor is suspicious. Your uncle is hiding in Dingjing." It is also a good idea to plan to return to the Northwest in a few years. It is a good idea to plan to go back to the Northwest after a few years. He has so many generals under his command, and the position of the Governor of the Northwest needs to be replaced. Will the affairs and command under him be changed? After a few years of hard work, I want to swallow the Northwest, and I took a general look at the people in the court, and no one has such a good appetite."

Xing Zhao likes to listen to Queen Fang's rigorous analysis of temple affairs.

Just like an eagle that has been kept in a cage all year round, it can only fly up in the air when it has free time, shaking off its wings and looking uncharacteristically energetic.

Xing Zhao held a pen in his hand, looked up at Queen Fang and smiled, Queen Fang protected her, and she also wanted to make Queen Fang happy.

The aunt and nephew were chatting around the warm earth dragon in the inner room, and after a while, they heard a report from the palace outside, "He concubine came to say hello to the empress!"

Who is Hepin?

Xingzhao went through his mind one by one before he realized that the daughter of the Gu family who was next to the Gu family had claimed to be sick for several decades, and finally came to pay her respects to Queen Fang.

Empress Fang's complexion darkened, and she asked Xing Zhao to just sit quietly, "My niece is going to avoid a concubine? There is no such reason in the palace."

Xing Zhao smiled and nodded in agreement.

One little Gu family was praised by people in the palace in less than two months, but the other little Gu family was silent for so long. When the Empress Dowager Gu rose up, her mother's family was weak, but now it is different. The climate changed, and the emperor was concerned about the friendship between his mother and his family. Even if the Gu family could no longer be on the table, he still wanted them to show off in front of others.

Queen Mother Gu likes to make deals, but Xing Zhao thinks this deal is extremely cost-effective.

Half of her body was paralyzed on the bed, but she sent the two daughters of the Gu family to the palace. Queen Mother Gu must have felt that she was right, right?
It is certainly impossible to say that there is no gloating.A few days ago, she went to the Cihe Palace with Empress Fang to serve the sick, but Mrs. Gu refused to let them in, so Empress Fang sat in the outer room for a whole afternoon, but she couldn't hold her back after all.

In the dark and mist, seeing the proud Queen Mother Gu in the past, turned into this old woman with wrinkled face, half smiling and half twitching, Xing Zhao was shocked even though he was prepared.

"A concubine greets the empress"

With a soft and good voice, he pulled Xing Zhao back in a hurry.

Looking in front of the window lattice at the four corners, under the dim light, there was a beautiful woman wearing an autumn apricot-colored right lapel, wearing it with a silver gray skirt, her head drooping slightly, and Xing Zhao happened to see the profile of little Gu and the slender willow. waist.

Sigh in my heart, what a beautiful face!
There is never a shortage of beauties in the palace. Empress Fang is calm and calm, Concubine Shu is silent and gentle, Concubine Hui is bright and high-profile, and Concubine Wang is delicate and pure. Can rank among them one or two.The facial features are exquisite, the small face as big as a slap, the eyes that are still resting, and the timid and watery expression, are breathtaking.

Gu Qingchen is the daughter of the first-line branch of the Gu family after the fortune, and raising her is to regulate the upbringing of daughters of upper-class families, but this Gu family is a side branch of the Gu family, and grew up in a poor and happy family, so naturally she was raised according to folk etiquette.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, without Gu Qingchen's softness and beauty, but with a sudden increase in coquettishness, it must be because of the coquettishness of Queen Mother Gu in her youth that she stood out and was sent to the palace.

"Exemption from the concubine's ceremony." Queen Fang said concisely, and asked Biyu to serve tea and sit down in a deep voice.

Hebin paused, glanced at Xing Zhao who was sitting at the bottom from the corner of the eye, paused again, finally twisted the skirt, and half sat on the edge of the stool.

Holding a teacup in one hand, Xing Zhao paused with Bin twice, did he want to give him time to salute her?
The rank of concubine is not low, Wang concubine has survived for decades, and she gave birth to a concubine who is not yet the eldest son of the emperor. In all fairness, Xing Zhao, the Wenyang county lord should get up and salute her first.

Bah, she doesn't.

Empress Fang wanted to give her concubine a majesty, and she was the first to salute, but now it was not the time to talk about etiquette, and she was panicked when she was asked to salute and say hello to another master who served Israel.Forbearance is necessary, but she just doesn't feel comfortable in her heart. If she wants to slap the enemy after forbearance, the joy at that time will be nothing to worry about.

"Is your concubine feeling better?"

Empress Fang's eyes flickered past Xing Zhao, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, "This is the first time I have seen Concubine He, it doesn't look like Empress Dowager Gu, let's take a closer look at the concubine who looks like Mrs. Gu's family." It doesn't look like that either."

"Concubine is afraid." He concubine bowed her head lower and lower, "Concubine came to Beijing from Yongzhou, just in time for autumn and winter solstice. She stayed ill for three months and didn't even leave the palace gate until these days got better. That's why I dare to come to Fengyi Hall to greet the empress."

Warm tea slipped down his throat, Xing Zhao paused the hand that put the teacup, and looked at little Gu Shi with a different look.

Good looking, not weak in scheming.

Jiang Cai's words were clearly expressing his sincerity to Empress Tongfang - he had been ill for several months, and he didn't even go to the Palace of Mercy and Harmony, and he didn't even see his cousin and aunt.
