Concubine Biography

Chapter 95

News soon came from outside the palace that everyone in the Su family had been brought under control. At the same time, Li Jiarong also received the news that Queen Su committed suicide in Fengyi Palace.

Li Jiarong issued an imperial decree, listing hundreds of crimes against the Su family. The whole family of the Su family was ransacked and beheaded.

Li Jiarong was very tough on this matter, and no one in the court dared to have any objection to it. It is said that on the day the Su family was beheaded, most of the people onlookers were students, and some students wrote poems to satirize the Su family. All evil has its reward.

Chen Shun's funeral was also held, and Fu'er went out of the palace to send her elder brother to the funeral in person. After the Chen family experienced such a tragedy, Chen Zheng and his wife suddenly aged a lot.

Although a series of changes have taken place, the imperial examination is still held as scheduled.

Fu'er's life has not changed much, she still lives in Zhaoyang Palace to raise her two children, Peiling Peiyan is still young, and plays happily all day long, imperceptibly diluting the depression in Fu'er's heart.

The biggest change was Li Peixiang, who lost his biological mother inexplicably, and was told that Su was a sinful concubine, and he was not even allowed to sacrifice.He went to find Li Jiarong, and Li Jiarong explained everything to him, but he still didn't quite understand, why did his mother become a concubine?

Because of Su's relationship, Li Peixiang also moved out of Fengyi Palace and moved into Linhua Palace in the prince's residence. Although the number of servants around him has not decreased, everyone's attitude towards him is obviously different from usual.

Li Peixiang has not realized that this different attitude from the past will only become more and more obvious as he grows up.

On this day, Xi'er brought her daughter into the palace to greet Fu'er.

"The concubine has met the imperial concubine, and the empress is a thousand years old!" Xi'er was more feminine than before, and the nanny who followed her was holding her daughter who was only a few months old in her arms.

Fu'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile, "Get up, I'm looking forward to you."

"Sister!" Xi'er happily took Fu'er's hand and sat on the kang.

Fu'er waved her hand, "Let me see my little niece."

The nanny stepped forward, and Fu'er took the swaddle, and said happily, "Young girl is really white. This is just like our Chen family's. Her eyes are also big, just like yours."

Xi'er said with a smile, "It still looks more like her father."

"Blessed is a daughter who is like a father!" Fu'er smiled and touched the little girl's face, "I have always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately there is no news until now, has the daughter been named?"

"Yes, her father named her Han Rou, so I decided to listen to it." Xi'er laughed.

"Soft and charming, it's a good name." Fu'er looked at little Hanrou with pity, "Look at these bony eyes, she must be a beauty when she grows up."

"Auntie!" Li Peiling pulled Li Peiyan in, and when she saw Xi'er, she rushed forward happily, and Xi'er said with a smile, "I've seen the two princes."

"Ah! Little baby!" Li Peiling shouted happily, and leaned close to Fu'er, Li Peiyan also stretched his head, "I want to see it, I want to see it too!"

Fu'er hugged her for them to see, "See how beautiful my sister is?"

Li Peiling stretched out a little finger to poke Xiao Hanrou's hand, and Xiao Hanrou immediately grabbed his finger, Li Peiling grinned, "She likes me."

Li Peiyan also reached out to poke Han Rou's hand, but the nails on his hand were a bit long, and they scratched the back of Han Rou's soft hand, and Han Rou cried out.

Fu'er was busy looking at the back of Han Rou's hand, and Xi'er was also busy looking at it. Li Peiling pinched her waist and pointed at Li Peiyan and said, "You're so stupid! You made my sister cry, she doesn't like you anymore!"

Li Peiyan blinked, looked at Han Rou and then at Li Peiling, "Sister doesn't like me, brother, don't you like me too?"

Li Peiling thought for a while, "My sister doesn't like you, but I still like you."

Li Peiyan nodded, "I didn't make you cry."

"Well, that's why I still like you." Li Peiling nodded vigorously with a flat face.

Seeing that there were no marks on the back of Han Rou's hand, Fu'er hurriedly asked the nanny to take Han Rou away, and just wanted Li Peiyan to make amends, so she made the two children's conversation amused.

Xi'er smiled and said, "The second prince really looks like the emperor."

But no, especially when it's straight-faced.

"Pei Ling, take your younger brother out to play. Hualien," Fu'er nodded, and ordered Hualien to take out a brocade box and pass it to Xi'er. "This is a gift for Rou'er. You will often bring her into the palace in the future." , I’m really lonely in this palace every day.”

"Didn't Mrs. Yao come to the palace to pay her respects recently?" Xi'er thanked Fu'er, took the brocade box and handed it to the maid beside her.

Fu'er sighed, "The last time I came here was more than a month ago, after what happened..." Fu'er was silent for a moment before laughing.

"She also brought her daughter here at that time. The little girl was about the same age as Pei Yan, and she was very beautiful. She was obviously the daughter of Yao's parents, but Pei Ling always called her Yao San, and she was not serious about her name."

When mentioning something unhappy, the smile on Xi'er's face faded a bit.

"Second brother has been away these days, I can still dream of him." Xi'er wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "Mother feels the worst, and now my eyes can't see clearly, it's all about crying second brother crying."

Fu'er's eyes turned red, "You are outside the palace, you often go home to visit, spend more time with your mother, I can't be filial..."

"Sister, don't say that, let's talk about something happy and don't mention these things." Xi'er smiled, "Have you heard, sister? This time the results of the imperial examination have come out, and the third brother-in-law is ranked second in high school! The third sister has changed a lot in these years, and now she can finally feel proud."

Fu'er was pleasantly surprised, "Mr. Lu'er won the second place in the list? This is really a happy event!" Then hearing Xi'er's tone was wrong, "What do you mean by elation? Did you suffer any grievances?"

Xi'er sighed, "Sister, it's not that you don't know the temperament of the third sister. She is not bad-minded but always likes to make things difficult for herself. The marriage that my mother chose for her back then was because she liked the character of the third brother-in-law. She knew that the third brother-in-law's family was poor, and her mother said that if she didn't want to, she would change to another family. She married without saying anything at the time, but in her heart, she was probably holding her breath. One year, I went back to my hometown in Hexi County with my third brother-in-law, and she actually sold all the land my mother bought for her for cash. Because of this, my mother and her have a birth share, and that land is a good place in the suburbs of Beijing. .”

"Over the years, she never said anything bad about her in the letters she wrote to her family, but Aunt Fu secretly inquired, and the third brother-in-law's hometown didn't know which mountain in Hexi County. Because of this matter, Aunt Fu made a fuss at home It’s not once or twice, every time she writes to ask the third sister to come back, she refuses. This year the third brother-in-law went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, sister, you haven’t seen the third sister like that...” Xi’er choked up as she spoke "She's only in her twenties, but she looks much older. It can be seen that her life has been really hard these years..."

Fu'er was silent, and the appearance of Lu'er when she was young came to her mind bit by bit, "I will announce her to the palace, Hualien! Order it down, please take the second place in the new division..."

Fu'er turned to Xi'er, "What's her husband's name?"

"I only know the surname Shi, but I don't know what the name is."

Fu'er nodded, "Only the second lady, my third sister, please come in!"

After about two hours, Xiao Shanzi came to send a message, "Madam, Mrs. Shi is here."

"Please!" Fu'er hurriedly left the house with Xi'er, but when she reached the door, Fu'er was stunned.Is this woman in front of her still the Lu'er in her memory who always looks at her with her head held high and stubborn eyes?
Her hair was neatly combed and tied up with a hairpin at the back, and she was dressed in dark purple satin clothes. Her facial features were still as bright as when she was a child, but her skin looked a little rough.

"The lady pays her respects to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is a thousand years old!" Lu'er walked up to Fu'er calmly, knelt down and kowtowed three times firmly.

"Third sister..." Fu'er knelt down to help her up, and couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

The third sister made Lu'er's eyes turn red.

After entering the house, the three sisters sat down. Fu'er took Lu'er's hand and said tremblingly, "Third sister... you have suffered all these years..."

Lu'er took out a cloth handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the tears from her eyes, "Second sister still thinks about me, I'm so happy in my heart! Look at me, why did I start to cry, and let the second sister and younger sister see a joke. "

"You have really suffered all these years. My brother-in-law is so knowledgeable, why didn't you come to Beijing earlier?" Fu'er said a little excitedly.

Xi'er also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, third sister, as soon as I mentioned you to my sister today, my sister immediately invited you over, she really misses you very much."

Lu'er sighed, "It's a long way from Hexi County to the capital. How can it be so easy to come back? Although the husband's knowledge has always been very good, but the father-in-law went there when we got married, and the mother-in-law also went after two years. This filial piety period is kept. It's been six years, where did you come back?"

"When the emperor came to the throne, I was thinking that my sister didn't know if it was good or not. Later, I learned that my sister was made a concubine, and then a noble concubine. I didn't know how happy I was. Sometimes I think of the scene when I entered the palace together with my sister, and I always feel that I feel very uneasy, this palace... I am afraid that my sister will suffer."

Fu'er was secretly surprised by Lu'er's change. After seeing each other for so many years, Lu'er became more forthright, and his temper became much brighter, "Brother-in-law...how is he treating you? What about the children? Why didn't you bring them for me to meet? "

Lu'er smiled a little shyly, "It's not bad. He has a straightforward and honest personality. Even if he is a bit old-fashioned and loves to admit death, it is not a shortcoming. He is very good to me, and there are maids and servants at home. It's just that the place is poor and poor. The wearability is definitely not as good as in the capital city. I... have four children, two daughters and two boys, and they are all in the house we rented in the capital city. They are all children who are used to being wild in small places. , let his father take them out to visit the capital, after so many days, they have not been allowed to go anywhere except grandpa's house."

Lu'er said it happily, but Fu'er and Xin'er felt heartbroken after hearing it. Fu'er took Lu'er's hand, stroked the rough back of her hand, and said distressedly, "Look... third sister, your hand ...."

"Hey! Second sister, don't be like this. Did you hear my little sister say how hard I am? That's because my aunt loves me, and it's not the case at all. Although my husband's family is not rich, there are still some family backgrounds. , I went to Hexi County with him and really didn’t suffer much, but the wind and sand in that place is very strong, and people who live there for a few years will inevitably be rough. It’s okay, compared to those people, I am nothing... …”

Fu'er couldn't stop crying. Among the four sisters, Shou'er married early, and later died of dystocia.She was accused of marrying into the palace as a concubine. She has experienced various things in these years. Lu'er married a good husband, but suffered years of wind and sand in that remote place. Fortunately, Xi'er was really comforted. In the absence of suffering.

"It's fine if you come to Beijing now. When you get a house in the capital, you can settle down and don't go back." Fu'er patted Lu'er's hand and said.

Lu'er smiled, "Sanggong just passed the exam, and it depends on how to arrange it next. Wherever he goes, I will take the children to follow. By the way, what about the little princes? I have to invite the little princes too." Ann is."

Fu'er hurriedly called Peiling Peiyan over, and Xi'er also asked the nanny to bring Han Rou, and they confessed their relationship again.

Meeting Lu'er and Xi'er this time, Fu'er naturally rewarded a lot of things. When Li Jiarong came in the evening, Fu'er couldn't help sighing when he talked about it.

Li Jiarong didn't pay much attention to the others, but when Han Rou was mentioned, Li Jiarong glanced at Fu'er several times.

"Why does the emperor always look at the concubine? Is there something wrong with the concubine?" Fu'er was inexplicably looked at by him, so she went to the mirror and looked around suspiciously.

"Hmm..." Li Jiarong pondered for a moment, "There have been a lot of things recently, and I haven't asked your father and brother to take a good look at the pulse for you. Pei Yan is more than three years old this year, and your body is almost recuperated, right? "

"Your Majesty..." Fu'er looked at Li Jiarong blushing.

Li Jiarong's eyes were gloomy, and he stepped forward to pick her up and put her on the bed, and said softly, "What's the use of being envious of other people's daughters, it's serious to have one yourself..."
