Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 55

"Ruhua, Sixth Sister has been here for so long, why don't you drink tea?" Ten Niang softly interrupted Ruhua's unfinished words.

"Sister Ruo Min will be here later." Ru Hua glanced at the flower tea on the table, "The servants are going to prepare meals first." After speaking, she saluted and retreated.Ruo Min took the opportunity to serve the cakes and then retreated.

When there were only two sisters left in the hall, Liu Niang took Shi Niang's hand, "My lord, what do you need to get out of the painting?"

"In the painting, there are some things I can't say to my sixth sister after all. She will be sad when she hears it. This girl has worked hard enough following me, how can I bear to make her worry about me." The power in the hand, Let Shi Niang feel warm.

Her sixth sister is always so quiet, but also gives people hope and strength.

"Don't talk about me, sister, how are you doing in the palace?" Shi Niang asked with concern, "I heard from the palace people that my sister can now be our famous concubine Xian in Yujing. The Eighth Prince respects and loves you."

"It's just some gossip from the servants. I'll let it go if I hear it, but I still use it to make fun of me." Having said that, Liu Niang is Liu Niang after all, and she graciously lets Shi Niang look at her.

"Sixth sister, tell me the truth, are you really alright? What about the eldest daughter of your concubine?"

"Ms. Zhang is the prince's personal servant girl, who was given to him by the Queen Mother herself. The prince didn't mean that at all, because he is a member of the Queen Mother, and seeing that she also has a desire to entrust, so I let her Waiter. Before I entered the mansion, he would rather go to Liyang Garden than have her." Liu Niang also sighed when talking about the princess' biological mother.

"Fireworks place?" Ten Niang grinned, "My sixth brother-in-law is also interesting. How can a good man go to that place to hide from a maid and dare not go back?"

"When I first found out, I had the same thoughts as the little master. Later, I found out that this is really something that our father's absurd ability did." Liu Niang herself couldn't help laughing.

"Then what happened later? How did the Zhang family get it?" Ten Niang asked curiously.

"I'll get it while I'm young." Liu Niang couldn't help laughing when she said this, "Just like this, with my temper, I won't tolerate people no matter what. This one, not only picks the time , even when it is picked out, it makes people feel pitiful."

"Our patriarch happened to be drinking with his cronies that day, and he got caught up in someone else's tricks. I couldn't serve him, and this Zhao family who bumped into him automatically and let him toss, became a man by accident. The woman in the backyard of the palace."

"Conceived in one go?" Ten Niang asked in surprise.

"No, the prince is very upset about this matter. Fortunately, she is a girl. If this is a kid, then he will be scolded to death by the censor."

"There is a saying in the law of this dynasty that a concubine can only be concubined and have children if the first wife has not given birth for three years." When Shi Niang thought of this law, she thought of her dead mother and her father. She continued, Her Du family.

"How is the family going?" As soon as Shi Niang finished speaking, Liu Niang answered.

"Everything is fine at home. I went back to my mother's house to see it a few days ago. Grandmother and fourth uncle are all fine. The brothers in the family are also preparing for the imperial examination."

"Are all the sisters okay?" Shi Niang thought of Ba Niang who was thin before entering the palace.

"It's all good. Wu Niang married and gave birth to a big fat boy. The child's father is also up to the mark and passed the exam. Wu Niang is also a serious Juren woman."

"Where are the seventh sisters, eighth sisters and ninth sisters?"

"Qiniang married the second son of Mrs. Chen Er, but she became a nephew and daughter-in-law for the fourth aunt, and she often came and went with the family. Ba Niang was married to a commander in the Southwest Army by her uncle. Her father-in-law She has a friendship with her uncle, her in-laws are very kind to her, and because of her temperament, she has a good appetite for her eighth sister-in-law. As for Xiaojiu, she was married to a wealthy family in Nanluo by her third aunt. lady."

"The sisters are doing well, so I'm relieved." After listening to everyone's fate, Shi Niang was filled with emotion.

"My lord, do you still remember our eldest sister and second sister? She was married to the Southwest by her uncle early in the past, and her life was not as good as Ba Niang's. I heard from Ba Niang's letter that the eldest sister and the second sister have been abandoned by their husband's family because of their children. I don't like it. But the two elder sisters are weak-tempered, and they were taught by their aunts to be out of place. After Ba Niang meddled their affairs a few times, she let her go."

"It's still hard for an upright official to break up housework. The eight of them are so irritable, it's no wonder they can manage it."

"Yeah, I thought so too. Uncle originally expected Ba Niang to help the two sisters, but later he just told Ba Niang to take care of his own family affairs."

"Where are the third and fourth sisters in Taoyang?"

"Your third sister and fourth sister are so sweet-hearted, it's good if others don't be afraid." Liu Niang thought of her twin sisters, third and fourth sisters, "Both sisters have their own children, and ordinary people in Taoyang dare not provoke their family. .”

"My sisters are doing well, so I'm relieved." Shi Niang said this sentence again, and after finishing speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief, and then seriously explained to Liu Niang.

"In the future, the family will rely on your help." Ten Niang couldn't help crying when she thought that she had no connection with the family this year, "Sister, I have no power to do it!"

"My lord, don't cry, you are still pregnant, it's not good for the little prince to be sad." Liu Niang said hastily.

As for Shi Niang's sadness, she can prove that it is true.

What's even more sad is that even though we are in the same space, I and my sixth sister, who is the eighth concubine, can only catch a glimpse from a distance during the New Year's Eve.

Fortunately, Liu Niang entered the palace in time, saving Shi Niang from studying how to deliver the news.

"My lord, if you have anything to do, just ask the concubine, and the concubine will do her best to help you achieve it." Seeing that Shi Niang was silent, Liu Niang comforted her.

"Sixth Sister, the situation is special, so I won't go into details. I am pregnant with twins. I don't know what your majesty and the master's plan are for the moment. I just announced that Sixth Sister will come to the palace to accompany me."

"My lord, do you want your family to help you?" Liu Niang guessed what Shi Niang was thinking in an instant.

"Sixth Sister is smart, but I only need the family and not now. I am not optimistic about the current arrangement of the family. I need Sixth Sister to help me pass a message to my uncle."

"It's okay to send a message, but the key is, will uncle listen?"

"Sixth sister, you just need to find a way to contact uncle and third uncle." Ten Niang whispered, "Before the little prince in my belly is born, I will tell the emperor when I get the chance to let you out of the palace." .After you leave the palace, go to the Du Mansion immediately."

"Don't worry, little master, I understand the seriousness of the matter."

"It's all up to Sixth Sister." Ten Niang continued to talk about her plan and her entry into the inner palace since entering the palace, which made Liu Niang beside her tremble with fear.

Guanju Palace, the queen's bedroom, the queen leans on the imperial concubine's couch and reads the script, while the emperor sits on the side without saying a word.

"I can't pay attention to this matter, you have to know it yourself." The queen said leisurely, "This girl is really a problem for others."

"When she gives birth, the empress will play by ear." The emperor pondered for a long time before addressing the air, and then fell silent again without looking at the empress.

"Since I can't bear her, why bother to say this. Regret once is enough. Does the emperor want to regret it again?" The queen stopped flipping the book, staring into the emperor's eyes and said word by word, "Since If you can't bear it, leave her alone."

"Why should the queen force me? I am the emperor of the empire first, and your husband second. When your existence hinders the development of the empire, I cannot soften my heart."

"Your Majesty touched his heart and asked himself, does it hurt?"

"Cousin, she's very smart, let's order her to be promoted. Only in this way can we hide it from her temporarily and let her wait for the birth with peace of mind." The emperor couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought of that smart and courageous little girl, "As for her fate, it depends on God's will." gone."

"Just because of that vain rumor? Gemini stars appear, and the world is in chaos? Oh, I have to pray for her, she must not be too lucky."

"Queen!" the emperor exclaimed angrily.

"Congratulations to the emperor." The queen threw off the veil without sincerity.

Liu Niang lived in the inner hall of Yaohua Palace for a ten-day period, but Shi Niang found an excuse and sent her out of the palace.

The emperor knew about it, but he couldn't say anything. The Eighth Brother and Sister's Mansion really couldn't lack her.

There is no one to take care of the Eight Princes' Mansion, which is outrageous after all.But here Shi Niang is alone in the palace, and the emperor really can't bear it.Therefore the emperor deliberately

Instruct the eighth princess to allow her to return to the mansion for three days every ten days to deal with the affairs of the mansion, and spend the rest of the time in the palace to accompany Jiagui at ease.

As soon as Liuniang left the palace, she sent away the servants who came to pick her up from the palace, and then went straight to Du's mansion with her maid.

The servants at the gate of the Du family looked proud when they saw the eighth princess returning to the mansion.

Now Man Yujing is envious of the Du family, because of the eighth concubine, the reputation of the Du family as being able to teach their daughters has spread throughout the world.The girl in Du's family was also missed.

It's a pity that only the eleventh and twelveth mothers of the Du family are still unmarried, but they are only a few years old, so it's too early to think about it.

But this is enough to make the servants of the Du family look good.

Liu Niang had no time to take care of the respect and care of the servants, so she rushed all the way to find the old lady and the elder.

Seeing her hurrying, the servants hurriedly reported her whereabouts to the steward of the inner courtyard.The butler hastily notified the old lady and the grand lord.Therefore, Liu Niang saw the old lady and the old man waiting to welcome her outside Tao Ran Residence.

Liu Niang helped up the two who knelt down to salute after seeing her, and after some pleasantries, the three quickly entered the inner room.

Holding a handkerchief in both hands, Liu Niang solemnly presented the news that Shi Niang had given her.

old

The woman's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the new inscription on the pear-white handkerchief, she couldn't help but gasped.Suddenly, the circles of his eyes turned red, and he understood a lot in his heart about Shang Liuniang's deep affection that he hesitated to speak.

Seeing the expressions of his mother and Liu Niang who were about to cry, the elder hurriedly took the square handkerchief and looked at it carefully.

On the plain handkerchief, Shi Niang's handwriting, which has always been beautiful, looks messy and eager, and it penetrates the back of the paper.

"Wake up in a big dream, one farewell for three years and then three years, two places to guess, there is no way to go to Fangshan. Song people say, the way is the place where Zigui cries. In the beginning period, Yingmumo finds the way back."
