The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 314 Involvement ([-])

It was raining continuously in autumn this day. As the air became colder in autumn, the rain hit the autumn chrysanthemums, and the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums spread in the wind. The solemn Forbidden City added a bit of loneliness and elegance.

In Chengqian Palace, the wet nurse was pacing back and forth in the hall with Yinzhi in her arms to coax him to sleep, while Rong Yue stood behind Yinti, quietly watching him practice writing and calligraphy.

The book "Tao Te Ching" is full of eloquence, without any mistakes or omissions. Rong Yuexin happily stroked the back of Yinti's head, and sincerely boasted: "Remember that you are so thorough, why did the emperor Ama come to the palace to ask you about your homework a few days ago, but you gave up?" Hesitating, stumbling on your back?"

Yinti wrote, and respectfully replied to Rongyue's words: "Mother often teaches her son to keep her sharpness from showing, and she is the one who can achieve great things. Now my younger brother is three years old, and he has to learn to read and write at the beginning of the new year. My younger brother is the prince. The example of the princes, if the son is ahead of the younger brother in everything, it will always be bad."

Yinti is only six years old, but she is so sensible and self-sufficient, which is quite rare in the emperor's family.

Mother?

Just now, did Yinti call her mother?
Rong Yue was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you call Tong Niangniang just now?"

"Mother." Yinti took Rongyue's slender fingers with her tender little hand, swayed them in the air twice, and said a little coquettishly: "Master said, the Han army flag often calls Erniang as mother and Ama as father. Mother's background Han Jun Banner, this is how my son calls you mother."

For a moment, my heart throbbed, and tears were about to fall.

Rong Yue stepped forward, leaned over and hugged Yinti tightly: "Good boy, good boy"

"This kind of mother-child love is so deep, it's not the right time for my sister to fall."

Hearing this sentence, Rong Yue turned her eyes to the outside of the hall, and saw Wanyu walking in slowly with a plain package in her hands, and said with a happy face: "Sister, don't be idle, it's so easy for eldest brother to leave class early." Some, you take care of yours, I take care of mine.”

As she spoke, she spread out the plain-colored package on the table, took out a small yellow cotton cloak and compared it to herself, and said, "I can't wear clothes like this anymore. I don't know who was born like this." Is it small?"

She glanced at Yinti slowly, and Yinti greeted her respectfully, her round eyes fixed on the little gown in Wanyu's hand.

The small gown is embroidered with cub tigers, and the side is affixed with gold thread patterns of three blessings and three longevity.

Rong Yue took two steps forward to touch the satin with her hands, she frowned and said: "This is the flying satin woven by Jiangnan, this is the only one we got in the palace, the emperor sent all of them to your palace, what do you do?" She shook her head and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that such a good material is made into children's clothes. I told you earlier, Yinti's clothes are going to be replaced with new ones in three or two days now, how can I use such a thing?" What is a good thing?"

"Why can't I use it? Yinti likes it, and my sister likes it. That's the blessing of this material. For those of us who have a fixed figure, aren't the clothes made every year not enough?" Wanyu joked, and took the small coat Put it on Yinti's body, look left and right, nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's just right, it's looser, and I can wear it longer."

Yinti was overjoyed and laughed straight, but she did not forget the etiquette and bowed to Wanyu: "I thank you, Madam Wan."

Wan Lai caressed his forehead affectionately, then took the rest of the clothes from the plain cloth package and handed them to Yinti's nurse who took care of Yinti: "Go and take the elder brother down, try on all these clothes, and take them if they don't suit you." Come, I will bring it back to the palace to change the stitches and send it back someday."

The wet nurse responded repeatedly and took Yinti and Yinzhi to leave. Rong Yue then took Wanyu's arm and sat down in the hall: "I can't see that it is your handicraft? That tiger cub is majestic and lifelike, so I will give it to you." She is much more skillful than the embroiderers in the palace."

"Anyway, being idle is idle, just doing something to pass the time." While speaking, Wannai's eyes unconsciously fixed on Rongyue's wrist, but she didn't see the pair of white jade embossed bracelets with branches and flowers, so she said strangely: " What about the pair of bracelets that the emperor bestowed on my sister? My sister wore it every day, how did you take it off?"

The distaste on Rong Yue's face was fleeting, and she smiled calmly and said helplessly: "I said, I was not careful. It was rainy and slippery that day, and I didn't have the heart to think about picking up Yinti from class. It's a pity that it slid forward and fell to the ground, and even the pair of jade bracelets shattered."

When Rong Yue went out, she would always take a sedan chair, even if she was in a hurry, there would be a group of court ladies and eunuchs waiting on her, even if the soles of her feet slipped, no one else would see her fall to the ground.

If it is possible to say that it happened unintentionally, but the two jasper bracelets were broken together, such a miracle is really unbelievable.

But seeing Rong Yue's melancholy expression, slightly hurt, Wan Yu didn't feel comfortable asking, she only thought that the emperor valued her and would definitely give her something better.

Rong Yue smiled silently, and then said slowly: "Gold and silver are delicate and soft, what do we lack?"

Wanyu knows what Rong Yue's words mean. It has been a month since the Sixth Palace was sealed off. Due to the tense battles in the previous dynasty, the emperor seldom enters the harem. Envious.

Just as she was thinking about it, Rong Yue changed her expression again and said: "I heard that the Hesheli family won a great victory in Guizhou, the emperor rewarded Suo'etu and his son, and even the nobleman Luo also gave his mother's family to come to see him. This is a pregnancy The honor of being a concubine when she gave birth to a concubine was given to her as a noble person. Now that she is domineering and defiant because of her mother's family power, what will she do if she becomes a concubine or a concubine in the future?"

In the past, because Luo Fu passed the news of Rong Yue's demotion back to the Tong Mansion, this led to the death of Rong Yue's mother.

This matter is like revenge for killing one's mother, how can anyone forget it?

Seeing Rong Yue gritted her teeth with hatred, Wan Lai had no choice but to persuade her: "After all, the one who loves is her family background, not her person. She understands this truth in her heart, and we are overjoyed to see her every day." , who knows how to be sad behind the scenes?"

After this sentence, the two were silent again.

"The imperial concubine! The imperial concubine!"

Several exclamations from outside the room broke the awkward atmosphere in the hall. At this moment, Lian Xin's sharp voice sounded outside the hall: "The imperial concubine and the concubine Wan are talking inside, and I have ordered no one else to see you. The young master is still waiting. I'll see you when I'm free."

Rong Yue frowned and said, "It's raining heavily, what's going on outside?"

Wan Lai listened to her ear: "It sounds like Lin Lan's voice."

"Lin Lan?" Rong Yue was silent for a moment, then called out loudly to the outside of the hall: "Lian Xin, let someone come in and answer."

At the end of this life, I saw Lin Lan's whole body was drenched by the rain, and the crying Lihua staggered into the room with the rain. When she saw the two of them, she immediately knelt down and bowed down, crying, "Help me, imperial concubine, help me, concubine Wan!"

Surprised, Rong Yue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Wannai got up and supported Lin Lan to get up, and ordered the palace servants to fetch dry plain towels and hot ginger tea.

Linlan cried more and more hurt, she said with trembling lips and teeth: "Mother, something happened to my concubine Ama!"
