Chapter 1 See you again
Mu Bi looked at Xiping, which had not been seen for a long time, but saw that she had been raised for a period of time, and her eyebrows were more relaxed. She was wearing a red-colored golden phoenix pattern half arm, a tooth-colored narrow sleeve woven gold on the top, and below was an orange skirt with a brocade belt at her waist, inlaid pearls and jade hooks. This dress was something that Mu Biwei had never seen before. It was newly made by Qu for her after she grew up.
I haven't seen Mu Biwei for a few months, but Xiping was not afraid of being born. After the ceremony, she jumped to her lap and couldn't wait to talk about her life in the Hualuo Hall. What she said most was not herself, but Princess Changkang: "... The third sister ate, slept and ate all day long. It will be a few years to play with my ministers..."
Mu Biwei listened patiently until she finished talking endlessly. When she asked Fan for tea, the people in the hall laughed together. Ling Xianren smiled and said, "After all, it was raised by Guang You's mother. Our mother looked at it as Princess Guang You. When she saw Guang You's mother, she still wanted herself. Where's the mother's concubine!"
"Thank you, Zuo Zhaoyi, for taking care of Yutong!" Mu Bi got up and left her seat and gave a solemn salute. Princess Xiping also saluted quickly. Qu Shi was at the top, with a slight smile on her face and did not avoid it. She bowed her safely and said, "Get up, I just do it by the way, not to mention that Xiping is also very lovely."
When Princess Xiping heard the words, she took the opportunity to say, "So, can the lovely son-in-law eat an extra piece of that kind of green dessert?"
This time, even Qu couldn't help laughing, covered his sleeves, and then regained his dignity. He smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll ask someone to copy one for your mother's concubine. If your mother's concubine allowed you to eat more, I won't stop you."
Withaticing Xiping's words, she explained to Mu Biwei, "What she said is mint cake - it was made to relieve the heat when it was still hot. Isn't it still a little restless when she came back from summer? I was afraid that she would feel hot when she came back from the palace, so I asked someone to make it. I didn't want her to like it. When she had nothing to do, she shouted to eat it. Later, when the weather got cold, I asked her to eat at most a day, or eat it with hot tea at noon. Otherwise, depending on how she made trouble, I won't give it. Today, I thought I came to see you and felt that I had something to rely on. So I asked for it again."
Mu Biwei heard mint and said annly, "Yutong is not allowed to mess around - mint is cold. Isn't it good to relieve your sthirties a day?"
Princess Xiping was very disappointed when she heard the words, but she turned her eyes and asked Mu Biwei, "Does the mother also give it to her ministers a day?"
"Well, just one piece, no more corner!" Mu Biwei originally wanted to say that it was simply broken for her. After all, it is only February. Ye is still cold, and there are no dragons in many temples. He just thought that Qu allowed her to eat a piece, and he would break it for her now. It seems that Qu is not careful enough for Xiping. Now the Empress Dowager Gao seems to be biased to You Eying, maybe so. A piece of cake can also produce things. In addition, Xiping's pleading eyes were also soft-hearted, and he said with a straight face.
Princess Xiping said to Qu aggrievedly, "The piece of Queen Mother of Qu is also reserved for my son. My son comes to eat every day!"
Everyone laughed again, and Ling Xian said, "The two ladies think of a way to comfort Your Highness. It's pitiful for me to listen to it."
"Now I'm most afraid to hear what she wants to eat. Nine of the ten things she wants to eat are not suitable to eat, but she likes them." Qu couldn't help complaining to Mu Biwei, "Once coaxed her and said that she could eat when she grew up, so the next day, she asked me 17 or 18 times a day if she had grown taller. In the first month, the Empress Dowager said once, as if she had grown much taller. When she came back the same day, she ordered two or three things that she usually didn't ask her to eat more. Ten kinds - it's hard for her to remember!"
Hearing the closeness in Qu's tone, Mu Biwei also smiled and said, "Don't blame my concubine for being cheap and obedient. According to my concubine, Yutong is very well-behaved in the Chenglian Hall. I have never felt so troublesome when I took her. Now that I've been with my mother for a few months, I'm afraid I still want this and that. It's because my mother treats her so well. Saying that, he scraped the bridge of Xiping's nose and smiled, "Favory Yutong, more and more demands!"
Princess Xiping heard that the two mother concubines were complaining about herself, and she was not angry. She smiled and made a grimace at them and said crisply, "The mother has said that these are all spoiled by the mother concubine. Since there are mothers and concubines who love their children, what should the ministers do not accept it?"
Both Qu and Mu Biwei smiled, and Mu Biwei asked her, "But your mother favors you because she likes you. Now you are more and more embarrassed. What can you do?"
Princess Xiping said naively, "My son is young and can't eat many things. Even if I know it, I can't stand it. Although my mother loves my son, she will definitely not give it to her. At most, I will ask someone to accompany my son to play and distract me. When my son is playing, I should eat. Of course, I can't eat anything!"
Mu Bi squeezed her lips and smiled and teased her again. Qu made a wink, and the butterfly came up and said with a smile, "Your Highness, Princess Changkang is about to wake up. Is Your Highness going to play with Princess Changkang?"
Xiping looked around and pulled Mu Biwei's sleeve and was a little reluctant to leave. Qu Shi joked, "Now that your mother's concubine has come back, you will naturally follow her back to the Chenglian Hall. At that time, you can annoy her every day, so that you can ask your mother Qu to see her jokes! It's your mother and Changkang's sister, but it's inconvenient to see you later!"
Xiping thought that what she said was right, so he stuck out his tongue and retreated with a smile to see Changkang.
When she left, Ling Xianren and A Shan tacitly dismissed the little maids on both sides, leaving only a few confidants to serve. Mu Biwei thanked Qu again. Qu waved his hand and said, "I'm just telling the truth. It's not troublesome to have a companion with Changkang. What's more, Xiping is cute and chasing him on his knees all day long. Li said this and that, and when she said a few words, I felt that there was nothing to annoy me in the world.
said with a smile, "Although I couldn't raise her back then, it seems that I still have some fate."
Mu Biwei said awkwardly, "In those years, my concubine..."
"There is no need to mention the past. Now I have Changkang here." Qu's kind way.
Knowing that this is what she meant to reveal the matter, Mu Bi was slightly relieved and said, "The Empress is always so considerate, but I didn't understand it before. When it came to critical times, I thought about it. In this palace, only the Empress is the most reliable."
Qu Shi smiled indifferently: "Are you considerate... Not everyone necessarily thinks so?"
"That's all because of too much greed." Mu Bi said sincerely, "In fact, the Empress treats the six palaces with a clear conscience, but many people in the six palaces have taken an inch. Every time they complain about the Empress, they are like Sun and He. Even if there are many resentmenters, they only dare to talk about it in private. It is because of the Empress's kindness that they become bold. "Because of it!"
"Real?" Qu was thoughtful and smiled, "What you said is similar to Xiping, but how can they be as cute as Xiping?" She seemed to ask casually, "But that's my nature. Zi, what do you think these people should do?
Mu Bi said respectfully, "It's right for my concubine to treat Xiping before. No matter how she messes around, it's all children who don't understand things. The Empress's identity is qualified. Since she doesn't care about children, no matter how much trouble it is, it really can't hinder the Empress. It shouldn't be given, just don't be given."
"It's natural not to give." Qu looked at her deeply and muttered, "But what you said is that it can't hinder my child. If it can hinder me, what do you think I should do?"
"No matter how she makes trouble, unless the adult doesn't care about her, she won't get the things that are not going to be given to her higher." Mu Bi smiled and said, "Since you can get it, most of it is that another adult helped her get it, right?"
Qu asked again, "If it's this adult, can't even I scold him at will?"
"Then first take the things aside to attract the attention of the child, and then negotiate with this adult. Is it more reasonable than a child?" Mu Biwei said calmly, "The Empress also saw it. Yutong just knew the truth, but she couldn't control herself at a young age."
Qu still did not relax and asked, "What if this adult is unreasonable, or does she prefer that child?"
"In this case, I'm afraid children will be spoiled and unreasonable." Mu Bi turned the bracelet on her wrist and smiled and said, "But be more careful... In my concubine's opinion, it's better not to let such a child be too arbitrary for too long, so as not to spoil other children and never have peace!"
Qu's concentration for a moment and smiled faintly: "That's right."
As he spoke, he turned around and asked about the palace, "I heard that Zhao Shouyi, who has been giving you an abortion, doesn't know when he was bought? Do you have a clue?"
Mu Biwei was prepared for this problem. At that moment, she sneered and said helplessly, "Please think about it. When I just arrived at the palace, my concubine found that I was pregnant. At that time, I immediately thought that it was difficult for the birth of a heir in the palace. I sent A Shan back to report to my mother. At the same time, I made an excuse. When he was ill, he detained Zhao Shouyi near the Yingtai. His Majesty asked Wang Cheng to take care of Zhao Shouyi, and his concubine also sent someone... Wang Cheng was certainly not a waiter in the Chenglian Hall, but he must have known that when the concubine entered the palace, she tasted to serve in the Xuan Room Hall. She was an old acquaintance and had always had a good relationship with him, not to mention that she had a body. Pregnant, he naturally wants to get some light. How can it be so easy to buy them?
Qu's murmured: "So..."
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect to be pregnant. I thought that I could avoid a lot of calculations when giving birth in the palace. Unexpectedly, my concubine forgot that I could hide in the palace, but others were not without feet." Mu Bi cut her teeth and said with hatred, "It's Ye Hanxi who just entered the palace, and he was not smart enough to lead the He family over!"
Qu Shi became serious: "Is it really her?"
"I dare not hide it from my mother!" Mu Bi said slightly and righteously, "When the He family arrived at the palace, she ran to the beautiful cherry platform of her concubine all day long. At that time, she was a little tired and suspected that she was uneasy and kind, so she gradually refused to see her. She tried to talk to Zhao Shouyi several times, but she was stopped by Wan Zhang and others. Later, it was the empress dowager who asked people to call He to go back to Yedu to raise the new Princess Tai, He was cruel and fell down from the Yingtai! Sprained foot! Because Zhao Shouyi was a doctor in the palace at that time. At least she was the head of the six concubines in front of many people, and she couldn't say that she would not show her... Maybe at that time, she didn't know what she promised and bought Zhao Shouyi!"
Speaking this, her eyes turned red. "My concubine didn't know what to do with Zhao Shouyi's later medicine for my concubine... Later, maybe she didn't see anything wrong with my concubine, so He suddenly came to tell her that Zhao Shouyi changed medicine for my concubine! The concubine was shocked to give birth... I lost my life!"
Qu sighed, "Sure enough... At that time, the empress dowager asked me about this, and I thought it was mostly He - since it was He, the empress dowager had sent people, why did He still stay there?"
She looked at Mu Biwei and said slowly, "Do you know that last October, the second son of the Sun family, the empress dowager, intended to raise You Eying, but she didn't want You Eying to dislike Sun's humble status... But you mentioned that you are at least a third-grade daughter?"
Mu Biwei immediately changed her face: "Empress dowager... Does she want to keep her mother and son? Is that He's?"
Qu made a silent gesture: "Be cautious in the palace!"
