Chapter 91 The Grace of the Imperial Concubine
A few days later, Ye Du fell a layer of new snow. Looking around, the palace was white, connected with the gray sky into a chaos.
Mu Biwei wore a very inconspicuous gray rat skin fur, leaving only a few simple pieces of the tie ring, wrapped in the extremely common buns in the palace, and was accompanied by A Shan all the way to the side hall that had been cleaned by Lanlin Palace.
This partial hall has been uninhabited for a long time, but the corridor is very wide, and half of it has not been stained with snow.
They carefully picked up the snow-covered place, walked around the cloister, did not enter the hall, and went straight through, and arrived at the courtyard behind the side of the hall, which was surrounded by the palace wall and there was only a small door leading to the outside world. There was a small Xuan in the courtyard, and the door was tightly closed.
Mu Bi gave a slight wink. Ashan went up and knocked on the door. The door immediately opened, but it was Xie Yu. Seeing the two people, she nodded: "The princess is inside. Mrs. Xuanhui, please come in."
While talking, he went out and made a gesture of invitation, obviously to let Mu Biwei talk to Princess Wen alone.
Mu Biwei said to Ah Shan, "You sit nearby with your aunt."
Entering the door, this Xiaoxuan had furniture and no dust around it. Obviously, it had been cleaned up. Princess Wen sat on her head, put a basin of silver frost charcoal at her feet, and half covered with red fox fur on her body. Obviously, a charcoal basin was not hot enough. Even if it was put close, it could not be untied.
Mu Bi saluted respectfully: "Princess!"
"Good boy, what's the gift for me?" Princess Wen said pitily, "It's cold here and you can't put more things. Come closer to the charcoal fire. Don't freeze you."
"The imperial concubine came out for me. It's all because I implicated the imperial concubine." Mu Biwei is the only one who really cares about helping herself in this deep palace, but never wants any reward. In the past two years, although she has been assisted by Nie Yuansheng, Nie Yuansheng can't directly interfere in the harem. What's more, the Empress Dowager Gao doesn't like him very much, if there is no mediation of Princess Wen. According to the news, her life is sure to be much more difficult.
In the past, in addition to the occasional winking with the empress dowager, all the news was sent by Xie Yu. This time, she actually left Ganquan Palace to meet herself. Obviously, the matter was not small - but I don't know if it has anything to do with the little beauty who has been moved to Ganquan Palace and stared at by the Empress Dowager Gao?
Mu Biwei went to Princess Wen's hand and sat across the few. She only heard Princess Wen smile and said, "What's the implicated? Since I knew that you were going to enter the palace, I wanted to meet you alone and say a few words... Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance. I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to have a chance in the future. I'm thinking about coming to see you when the Empress Dowager is not energetic these two days.
As she spoke, she patted Mu Biwei's hand, looking gentle, like a kind mother. Mu Biwei couldn't help thinking of her biological mother who died young, and her heart was sad.
"How is your grandmother now?" When Princess Wen saw her look, she quickly led her to speak.
Mu Biwei heard this and settled down before she suppressed the sourness and said with a smile, "Blessings to the imperial concubine - grandmother, these two young people are much faster." She thought for a moment, "Grandma came to the palace twice and also asked the imperial concubine how she was. She said that she had never seen the imperial concubine when she went to the palace in the two years and was a little worried."
"I was favored by your grandfather..." When Princess Wen saw that Mu Biwei was going to interrupt, she shook her head with a smile and said, "En is grace, but now Da Wei is still there. With your grandfather's maintenance in those years, that's also kindness!" Don't say anything about the king and ministers... Well, in a word, my relationship with the shepherd's family. Now your majesty is young and I'm afraid he doesn't remember much, but the empress dowager knows it. I'm afraid of causing trouble for both sides, so your grandmother sees the empress dowager. I always look for an opportunity to avoid it, but I don't want her to worry about it.
Mu Bibited her lower lip slightly and said, "In the past two years, I have also been protected by many imperial concubines. I told my grandmother last time that I shouldn't ask imperial concubine to worry about it!"
"What's the point of being so polite?" Princess Wen laughed dumbly and said, "I heard that your grandmother has a great-grandchild?"
"Yes, my eldest brother's eldest son's name is Mu Long." Mu Bi said hurriedly, "It's a pity that I'm still young, and I haven't even seen him before. I heard that he is a fat and lovely child, very strong, but I don't know whether he is handsome or not when he grows up."
"It's good to be strong. It's not a big deal whether Lang Jun is handsome or not. What's more, although I haven't seen your brother and sister-in-law, they can't be bad depending on your appearance. How can their children be worse?" Princess Wen sighed, "In the blink of an eye, our generation is old!"
"How can the imperial concubine be an old character?" Mu Bi said with a slight smile. Princess Wen laughed and shook her head: "The two of us have been in this palace for a long time. Now we can't say two words to coax each other... This is really used to coaxing people."
Mu Biwei also felt that although what he had just said was sincere, he said too much, and she couldn't help laughing: "What the imperial concubine said... Then I also said that everything is fine in my family. My grandmother went back to the palace and asked about King Gaoyang's marriage when there was no one. She said that the king is now sixteen years old, and it's time to discuss marriage. Age, otherwise the royal ceremony is tedious, and you can't ask Wang Cang to promote marriage, just ask me if the Empress Dowager deliberately refuses to mention it.
Princess Wen smiled and said, "Your old man has always been an honest person. When she married your grandmother, I could still meet her occasionally a few times. I know her temperament and ask her this. It's really suspicious - next time you tell her that Silang's marriage will be discussed next spring. When your majesty is crowned, you will immediately mention Silang's marriage. Don't let your majesty meet those tedious ceremonies. Not to mention many things, if something goes wrong in the middle, it is also Silang who will suffer losses.
Mu Biwei knew that what she said was a fact. The king of Gaoyang only tied her hair last year. According to the royal custom, it was time to discuss marriage, but this year was Ji Shen's crown year. It was so easy to force this king to go to govern. Those state affairs and affairs were piled up like mountains. Suddenly, another Gaoyang king got married. Who knows if Ji Shen would be busy? What will happen next? It has to give him some time to adapt.
And even if Ji Shen is not upset about the things added when he is busy, it is easy to make mistakes in the haste - but Princess Wen doesn't know that those chapters are not changed by Ji Shen at all, and he is not driven crazy by state affairs at all...
This is not a small matter, and it may not be a blessing to know it. Mu Bi thought about it repeatedly and still didn't tell Princess Wen, but said, "Actually... I have also heard some shadows of King Gaoyang's marriage..."
Princess Wen smiled: "But I dare not tell your grandmother at will? In fact, it doesn't matter. She knows something.
"Not only that." Mu Bi thought about it slightly. What Ji Shen was going to do in spring may anger the Empress Dowager Gao again. It may not have anything to do with Princess Wen, so she whispered, "I heard that your majesty intends to marry for King Gaoyang and choose a woman to enter the palace!"
When she heard the words, Princess Wen frowned, but she was not surprised: "I haven't been selected for three years, and it's time to talk about it. Is it just... in the name of giving Silang's marriage? Does Your Majesty intend to enter the palace with the daughter of the high gate?
"I only heard such a shadow, and the imperial concubine also knew that there are not many high positions in the palace now." Mu Biwei said truthfully, "The scattered number is uncertain. Twenty-seven women and 81 royal daughters are still early to leave their foreheads. These two are also serious concubines, not very low. In the past, your majesty didn't think it's very new."
Princess Wen herself has been a princess and an imperial concubine. Now she has survived to be the imperial concubine. She is not clear about your nature. What's more, Ji Shen saw the end from the beginning for Sun's trouble and sighed: "That's what it is like to enter the palace. I want to see you now."
With that, he solemnly took out a palm-sized brocade box from his sleeve: "This is copied, but it is inconvenient for you." Princess Wen explained, "In order to find this recipe, I asked Xie Yu to come forward and buy it. I'm afraid that the traces will make people suspicious of you in the future... So I took the original recipe, but I copied it myself, so it's easy to say that I care about Silang's heirs."
Mu Bi glanced slightly and found that it was a prescription. When she heard the word "child" again, her heart jumped: "Princess?"
"This is handed down from the former Wei Palace." Princess Wen said gently, "Have you ever heard of the imperial concubine Ping, whom the former Emperor Zhao of Wei has been greatly favored? Ping Guifei was born sick, but the most beautiful thing was when she was sick. Emperor Zhao loved her very much. It was just a woman in the palace. If she was more sick, it was not a premature death, but it was difficult to give birth. However, after only half a year of using this prescription, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son and two daughters... Before the death of Wei, this prescription fell to an old mother. In my hand, I was also a concubine, and the empress dowager gave birth to three sons. I haven't had any news. At that time, she was surrounded by Han, Xieyu's mother. She was anxious and remembered that she heard a few words from her companions who escaped from the Wei Palace when Wei died, and wanted to find this recipe for me... But when I just said that, I was pregnant, for fearing more Let it go."
Princess Wen said with a smile, "Even if you take this recipe, it doesn't matter if you are a good person. I've seen the medicine in it, and it's not difficult to make it. You take a few other medicinal herbs so that people won't see it... Well, the inner division has changed now. I heard that you and Gu Changfu have just met in the palace. Isn't it difficult to get it? Don't worry, that you lost your body after drinking the shelter soup, and you can drink this medicine for two or three months at most - the noble concubine is not as delicate as you. You are born with a disease and a veritable sick beauty. You don't look like her!"
Mu Biwei didn't know how to describe it at this moment. Her eyes turned red, and she burst into tears and quickly took away the prescription: "The imperial concubine treats me so well..."
"I don't like to hear that." Princess Wen patted the back of her hand and said gently, "In this palace, women rely on their children and are loved by the emperor, unless they meet those lovers, but you see, how many women who can have a good end and are protected by them have a good end? Now that you have come in, and now you are spoiled, don't think too much about it. It's right to give birth to your own flesh and blood in peace... I'm not saying that Princess Xiping is not good, but it's different for a woman to have no biological flesh and blood in her life. Whether it's a princess or a prince, she was born by herself... It's more happy to look!"
"I don't know how to repay the favor of the princess." Mu Biwei put the prescription back in the brocade box and choked with tears, "Not to tell you the truth, the last time the Empress Dowager Sun made a public trouble on her birthday. When I went back, I guessed that someone on Sun was pregnant, and even secretly broke the male fetus, so she deliberately made such a scene and asked the Empress Dowager to refuse to personally refuse to raise Princess Xintai, such as This is also to prepare for Sun's raising of the prince... Even if the empress dowager agrees, with the presence of Princess Xintai, Sun can also say that the empress dowager is not tired... Originally, although her position is above me, I can still compete with her, but if she has a prince, her majesty will often summon the imperial concubines, but the children in the palace..."
She wiped wet with a handkerchief a few times. At this time, she wiped her sleeves randomly, cried and laughed, and knelt in front of her knees and said, "I haven't slept well for several nights, just thinking about how to find out the pregnant concubine, but I found out whether to do it or not... I hesitated and said As the imperial concubine said, I don't have a biological flesh and blood. I really can't settle down. Even if Xintai is a princess, she is always the son of the Sun family..."
"I know." Princess Wen's eyes showed sadness, "The biological bones and blood are connected, which is different from the feeling of raising others. What's more, October pregnant and struggling to give birth in person? Good boy, don't worry. I'll make a ticket with you, in a short period of a year, or a half at the time. You can definitely hold your own blood!"
Mu Biwei barely suppressed her crying and was pulled to the bed by Princess Wen. She calmed down and said to Princess Wen: "The Empress Dowager has now taken the little He beauty to Ganquan Palace, but I thought that since the Sun family dared to make so much trouble in the palace or the Empress Dowager's birthday last time, the arrangement will definitely not be so simple... Empress Dowager, I am very pregnant. It is suspected that there may not be only one pregnant concubine in the Sun family, and both of them may not be male!"
Princess Wen heard the meaning of her words, but smiled strangely: "Don't worry, although the Empress Dowager's means are a little worse... but she is not confused about some things!"
When this came, Mu Biwei saw that Princess Wen didn't mean to say much and did not ask. She continued to gossip with her, and listened to Princess Wen carefully mention it for a while. Looking at the time, it was really not early. Xie Yu also came in and urged her again and again, and the two were reluctant to leave.
