Chapter 109 Ap forgiveness
The New Year has passed as usual. The newcomers Leng'er and Xue'er are extremely impressed. In addition to Xiao Gong, they can still compete for the first time because they are close to the platform. The harem, including You Zhaoyi and Sun, have been neglected to varying degrees. Mu Biwei has found several excuses to go to the Xuanshi Hall. Although no one dares to stop her from seeing Ji Shen, she is also invincible. After these two newcomers acted coquettishly and infatuatedly, she had no sincerity to Ji Shen, but she hated that these two people suspected that they were determined to compete for favor. She almost saw everywhere in the Xuan Room Hall, and she couldn't even want to communicate with Nie Yuansheng.
The Empress Dowager also looked down on the twin beauties, but the Empress Dowager hated Sun and He even more, and she didn't like Mu Biwei very much, so she was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
It was only after the first month, and the marriage of King Gaoyang gradually came out in the Yi Hall.
King Gaoyang is the youngest son of the former emperor and the only son of a concubine. Although the origin of his biological mother, Princess Wen, is vague and unclear, the former Wei Guozuo has been there for 300 years. Even if many families have a longer history than the former Wei, they dare not underestimate the subjugated princess, not mention Princess Wen and the Empress Dowager Gao Good, that's a well-known thing in the government and the field - in the case of Ji Shen's two direct brothers, this royal brother is safe and tight, and there is no need to worry about wealth.
What's more, although King Gaoyang's appearance is not as deep as Ji Shen, he has always been famous for his gentleness and etiquette. The family was moved for a while. Although the Empress Dowager Gao had already agreed with Princess Wen that a talented and beautiful daughter of the Gao family would be Princess Gaoyang, she had to release the news of the marriage proposal first and then issue an order.
Unexpectedly, Ji Shen took the first step to issue a decree in the name of friendly brothers, and ordered the election again - and it was also said that it was time to release the maids of honor to go out, so even the common people had to participate in this election.
The last time a person was released in the palace was when Ji Shen became filial. It has been four years now. This reason is not unreasonable. The problem is that he put his actions there, and everyone knows what the so-called friendly brother is thinking.
The family husbands who originally planned to recommend their own girls to the Empress Dowager Gao changed their minds for a while - is it easy to stand in Ji Shen's harem?
At the beginning of the year, the rain was like silver, and the candlelight in the apse was hidden. After a while, the thick curtain was put down and covered the lights. Nie Yuansheng entered the hall with rain all over. Mu Bi slightly raised her hand and took it off for him and put it aside. She was a little surprised: "Why did you come here today?"
Nie Yuansheng put his arms around her waist, closed his eyes for a moment, and then smiled, "In the afternoon, Sun found me. If he didn't come to explain it to you, I'm afraid he will have to make trouble with me again!"
"Nonsense, am I such a narrow-minded person?" Mu Bi hit him gently and said anly, "What the hell is going on?"
Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "Look at this." She took out a brocade box from her arms. Mu Bi opened it slightly, but saw that the treasure lingered in it was a large pearl with a diameter of nearly two inches, which was flawless. At a sight, she immediately recognized it: "This seemed to be a tribute from Donghai County two years ago. At that time, there was a fight in the uterus of this pearl, the most After all, she was killed by Sun... She gave you this bead. What did she want to do?
The last sentence was alert.
Nie Yuansheng kissed behind her ear and said with a smile, "What else can I do? I'm afraid there will be more benefits I will receive in a few days - I will host the primary election this time, you know?
"It turned out that you wanted to send away the people who shouldn't have been put into the palace." Mu Biwei understood, put the beads back and gave them back to him. She glanced sideways and said, "You are bold... This bead has been recorded, and you dare to take it."
Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "There are really not many benefits that I dare not take in this world. Besides, there is also a reason for Sun. He said that he heard that I was working in state affairs to assist His Majesty. Recently, he coughed a little and thought that a recipe was good. Pearl powder was needed in it, so he gave me this."
"There are many people who work in state affairs. Why does she think of you?" Mu Biwei said, "If you are really brainless, aren't you afraid of others talking?"
"I have refused to your majesty. Your majesty doesn't care about these, but the two beauties sent in by King Anping." Nie Yuansheng's eyes turned cold and said faintly, "When I saw your majesty, they refused to leave. When I saw this bead, I blocked them with Sun..."
"I know. I thought that the two people would keep them, which made Sun unhappy. The second reason was that they knew that they were not the only two to be added to the palace this time, and they planned to move and hide their hands." Mu Biwei immediately recognized the key point of his words, "It's okay if you don't know what to do. Now you even have to listen to your Majesty's discussion, just because the two of them also want to help King Anping block the channels of the former court's harem? It's too underestimated these six palaces."
Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "Wait first - I mean, the two of them pestered your majesty to want the same beads one by one. Your Majesty temporarily issued an edict to Donghai County because Curry doesn't have it now. You also know that such beads are rare. I'm afraid this governor of Donghai County can't do it... I will take this The matter spread to the front court, and let the Sun family worry about it!"
Mu Bi pondered for a moment and said, "On New Year's Eve, King Anping can go to the Peace Hall for a banquet. It seems that His Majesty will hand over the government to him... I'm afraid it will be these days?"
"At the beginning of the selection, I don't have to spend the night in the Xuan Room Hall." Nie Yuansheng sighed, "It's not so convenient to see you in the future."
Mu Biwei complained a little more about King Anping and said, "Your Majesty actually believes him like this! You were also injured to save him!"
"King Anping was more seriously injured." Nie Yuansheng said, "What's more, he is your majesty's direct brother, and the empress dowager is more willing to let him get some real power with the king of Guangling, so that he can be his descendants."
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, after all, the left prime minister is below one person and above ten thousand people. The government is complicated. If the king of Anping wants to take it all for a while, he has to see his ability."
"As long as you have plans." Mu Bi sighed slightly and said, "I'm worried that he will be unfavorable to my father."
"Let's not talk about these annoying things..." Nie Yuansheng changed the topic and said, "Have you just changed the incense in this room?"
Mu Bi smiled slightly: "The Brahro incense burned in the past was cold in Xiping last time, so she changed to a warm fragrance. She likes it. I don't care much about the incense. She burns whatever she likes."
The two chatted a few words and then turned off the lights.
......................................
The next morning, the rain remained unstopp.
Liu Yu's daughter came early to ask for a meeting. When she saw Mu Biwei, she saluted and said respectfully, "I have nothing to do these days, so I have done some needles and threads to honor my mother. I hope you don't refuse."
Mu Biwei didn't say anything. She only asked her to take the needle line she made and look at it, but it was some purses and two long gulls. It can be seen that they were embroidered with great care. Not to mention the colors and styles that Mu Biwei likes, and the patterns are mostly related to their children. Mu Biwei was receiving and said lightly, "It's very attentive. Thank you. ."
Since Dai and Jiao's promotion to the throne, Mu Biwei has rarely seen people in her palace. She usually comes to see them, but in this month or two, it is rare to see them. After seeing them, they just sent them away in a few words. It is also the third time that Liu Yunu's filial piety needle and thread have been sent like this. This time, she obviously made up her mind to explain to Mu Biwei. Bai, so he knelt down and sobbed, "Mother, I'm confused for a moment. Please forgive me!"
She cried so suddenly, Mu Biwei's hand paused and frowned, "What are you doing?"
"If the Empress refuses to forgive my concubine, she will kneel here today." Liu Yunu wiped her tears and said, "No matter how confused my concubine is, I dare not complain about the Empress!" I just thought that Dai Ronghua and Jiao Chenghui could work for the Empress, so I got the Empress's favor, but my concubine could only do something. I was ashamed, so I sighed a few words. As for the resentment, there was not a word!"
Mu Biwei said, "Your mind is clear to me. I am tired now and I don't want to see people. You just take care of yourself, and you don't have to bother me all the time."
"I'm tired of my concubine." Liu Yunu knelt on the ground and walked a few steps on her knees. When she arrived in front of Danqi, she held Danqi with her hand and said sadly, "How much has the concubine suffered since she entered the palace and entered the Changjin Palace? How many grievances have you received? The general position has always been lower than others. The same concubine is like the maidservant's daughter, until the Empress comes - to tell the truth, until the Empress comes to our Changjin Palace, and the concubine seems to have support... As if the Empress doesn't want to be a concubine, the concubine will live. What's the point?"
Mu Biwei smiled at her words: "Your words are interesting... You came to the palace to serve your majesty, but now you are looking for death in front of this palace?"
Liu Yu's daughter has cheated and simply relied on it to the end: "Your Majesty, where is there any concubine in front of you? But in the past two years, there has always been a place for a concubine in front of her. If the concubine doesn't want to be a concubine, she will naturally not want to pass.
"Get up." Mu Bi turned the bracelet slightly and thought that this time's beating was almost the same. Of course, she planned to give Changjin Palace a good look, but people like Liu Yunu who just had some emotions should not give too much face. After all, they were still useful, so she said with a smile.
When Liu Yunu heard the words, she quickly wiped her face with her sleeves and said happily, "Did you forgive my concubine first?" Otherwise, my concubine would not dare to get up!"
Mu Biwei turned her head and said to Shan and said, "You just told me two days ago that Liu Yunui is a sensible person. I don't want her to come here now and cry with tears and snot. I don't know it as a three-year-old child. I'm afraid that I can't tear down your stage!"
Ashan hurried forward and took a veil to Liu, and said with a wry smile, "Let's clean it up. Since the Empress told you to get up, she naturally wants you to rest assured!"
Liu Yunu kowtowed her head with joy and was helped up by the maid beside her. Mu Biwei ordered her to pull her back: "Go fetch a basin of water to serve the royal daughter to wash - let's see what this has become? If you go out and be seen, what's wrong with you?"
"The Empress just said that my concubine looks like a three-year-old child. As long as the Empress still treats my concubine as before, what about the concubine as a baby?" Liu Yunu squeezed her mouth and smiled.
"You hit the grass with a stick." Mu Bi was slightly angrily with her, ordered someone to come and wash her, and gave her a box of commonly used powder. When Liu Yunu put on makeup again and said a few words to her, she was dismissed.
When Liu Yu's daughter left, A Shan said, "Liu Yu's daughter is more clever."
"I'm afraid they will wake up in a few days." Mu Bi said lazily, "It is said that the palace is rich and noble, but I don't know the suffering in it. Although the royal daughter is the lowest level in the official concubine, she can't put many lives outside. After all, she is the identity of the imperial concubine. However, once there is no pet and no mother's family can rely on, it is just a catkins on the water - this new The matter of people entering the palace has not been completely covered up... and they are all anxious."
Ashan gave her a cup of tea: "Your Majesty said that in order to release the maid of honor, so even the women of the common people have to participate in the selection. That's right, but who doesn't know that Your Majesty is worried that it will be missed outside the palace because of Sun and Yan? For example, when new talents enter the palace, few will be given a high position. In those years, the granddaughter of Ningcheng County was not just a beauty for the first time? In this case, naturally, most of them live with the throne. It seems that our Changjin Palace is close to Jique. Nowadays, there are only a few people living in those places in the side hall. I'm afraid that there will be favored newcomers. At that time, even if Liu Yunu and others are not afraid of getting the eyes of the mother, they should worry about the newcomers' indulgence, relying on your majesty's Spoilment is difficult for them.
Mu Bi smiled and said, "This is what they are going to worry about, but don't we have any troubles?" With that, he looked forward.
