Chapter 079 Noble Concubine
When the empress dowager and the emperor said that Gu Jinzhi was appointed as the princess, because it was confidential, no one in the inner hall was left, but the mother and son were at heart to heart.
The empress dowager meant that she wanted the emperor to issue an imperial edict, make Gu Jinzhi the princess, and give the highest reward. Although the title is the princess, it is the emperor's order, and the status is the same as that of the princess.
The Empress Dowager took her as her adopted daughter.
Not to mention that she is the granddaughter of the Duke of Gu, she is smart and clever. She has cured the Empress Dowager's stubborn illness for a year and a half, and she is the greatest hero of this dynasty.
If she is a man, it will not be allowed to be crowned by the king.
The two generations of the Gu family have made great contributions to the empress dowager. If they don't repay the Empress Dowager, they will really be rejected by God.
After listening to the Empress Dowager's words, the emperor frowned and had no interface.
The Empress Dowager was slightly confused and looked at her son.
"Queen Mother, the position of noble concubine in the palace still owes one person. Why don't you let Jinzhi enter the palace?" The emperor suddenly said.
The Empress Dowager was shocked.
She heard this without any psychological preparation. Gu Jinzhi looked small and immature. The Empress Dowager thought that the emperor would only regard her as a junior.
How did you know that the emperor had this idea!
What's wrong with her son?
"She is still a child, I'm afraid that the water will not come. According to the ancestral system, she can't enter the palace. The Empress Dowager said.
To choose a concubine in the palace, you must have come to Kuishui, otherwise you can't have children. It's really the ancestral system of this dynasty.
The emperor looked ordinary and was not embarrassed at all. He said, "I like to talk to her. She is also excellent in medical skills. After staying in the palace to serve my mother, I also take care of state affairs at ease and have less worries. She is thirteen years old, and Xinshui has only been in the past two years. What does it matter to raise it for two years? There are five concubines in my palace, and there is no shortage of people to serve me for the time being.
These words make sense.
The Empress Dowager doesn't know which sentence to refute.
"The palace is always better than the outside, and everything is noble. People like her can also deserve it. The emperor said again, "My mother likes her, and I also like her. I raise her around, just think that many people are funny, and my mother is also more happy. Looking at my mother these days, I look good and laugh, and I feel at ease after listening to it..."
That's true.
Gu Jinzhi told the Empress Dowager about the outside, which was clearly organized and interesting. The Empress Dowager listened to it and had a feeling of being there in person.
She likes Gu Jinzhi very much.
If you can stay in the palace and laugh every day, the Empress Dowager is in a good mood.
Can...
Will Gu Jinzhi be willing?
The Empress Dowager thought of herself, abandoned her parents and family, stayed away from her close friends, entered this cold place, and began to fight for power and bear the prosperity of the family. Her heart was a little cold.
When she was young, she also felt that being able to be a mother in the world and helping the family was a woman's greatest success.
Nowadays, as the Empress Dowager, her heart is tired.
The emperor's family is said to be lonely. How many kindness is there to be buried?
The Empress Dowager is not only like and appreciate Gu Jinzhi, but also grateful. Therefore, she is unwilling to imprison Gu Jinzhi here as well.
But when the emperor said this, the empress dowager didn't know how to refute it.
The emperor is the son of the empress dowager, but he is the lord of the world. The emperor is the master, and the empress dowager is a minister. Although the emperor thought of filial piety, the empress dowager did not dare to disturb the etiquette of the emperor and minister.
"What the emperor said is filial piety." The Empress Dowager finally sighed, "It's up to the emperor."
There was a faint smile on the corners of the emperor's lips.
He got up and said goodbye, and happened to meet Gu Jinzhi coming to the empress dowager.
She held a bowl in her hand. I don't know what she had, but there was a faint fragrance.
She saluted the emperor.
The emperor falsely helped her and asked, "What is this?" Didn't you say that the Empress Dowager's medicine doesn't need to be drunk anymore?
"This is medicinal porridge." Gu Jinzhi explained, "It nourishes the lungs. The Empress Dowager has been ill for more than a year. Although her body has been maintained, she has lost some money after all. The daughter of the people made some medicinal diet..."
The emperor nodded and praised her for her filial piety.
He turned around and left.
Gu Jinzhi took the medicine porridge and entered the inner hall.
The Empress Dowager looked a little embarrassed and sat on the kang and dozed off.
Gu Jin's footsteps are heavy.
When the Empress Dowager heard the sound of footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Gu Jinzhi, her eyes flashed first, and then smiled.
Gu Jinzhi brought the medicine porridge forward and gave it to her: "... The taste may be worse, but it is the most nourishing for yin deficiency. I have given the recipe to Aunt Cheng. I did it for two days and taught Aunt Cheng. When I go home, Aunt Cheng will make it for you every night. You ate for half an hour and ate for two months, and your legs and feet are more powerful than when you were young..."
She will be out of the palace in two days.
Although she didn't say anything, the Empress Dowager could see that her eyebrows were filled with some joy and expectation.
She really wants to go.
The Empress Dowager was indulging in her heart, and she was reluctant to give up.
Gu Jinzhi brought the medicinal diet to the Empress Dowager's hand.
It is warm, and the fragrance of medicine is overflowing. It is a little bitter in the mouth, but it also faintly reveals a little fragrance.
The Empress Dowager drank porridge slowly spoon by spoon, praised that it was delicious, and then said to Gu Jinzhi: "Jizhi, you have been serving the Ai family for more than half a month. The Ai family has been sick, and I didn't ask you how many brothers and sisters there are in the family. How are your parents?"
Gu Jinzhi smiled.
That kind of smile is warm and sweet.
"Everyone is fine at home. I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager would be annoyed, so I didn't mention it. Gu Jinzhi said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of being annoyed. I like to listen to Jin Zhi's words. The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Tell the Ai family about your family? Do you have any sisters? Did your sisters often quarrel when they were young?
The Empress Dowager has two sisters and a younger sister. When she was a child, she was also very noisy and often quarreled with trivial matters.
The mother did not allow their sisters to discord. When they quarreled, they had to be scolded.
At that time, we resented each other.
Now the Empress Dowager thinks of it, and the warmest thing in her heart is at that time...
"There are no compatriots and sisters, and there are a few cousins. It's just that when I was six years old, I went to Yanling Mansion with my grandfather and parents. I didn't have to meet my cousins. Gu Jin's voice was slow, soft and warm, infecting the heart of the Empress Dowager, "I have two younger brothers. Nine years old is my brother, and seven years old is my brother. Both of them are weak, not naughty, and always talk around me.
The Empress Dowager listened, and her mood was driven by Gu Jinzhi. There was a melancholy in her eyes, as if she was recalling the past.
"... Mother, she loves me the most and holds me like a baby. She has a strong personality and protects me from everything. I don't worry about anything at home. Gu Jinzhi said again, "Dad is still studying, and he has never taken the entrance examination. But he is not the one who studies hard. He often makes excuses to go out for a few days, and then brings us delicious food..."
The Empress Dowager was also sneered by her.
"Yanling is a rural place. There are few rules, and the warmth of people is the most warm and happy." Gu Jinzhi smiled again and said, "My parents and I just went to Beijing to give gifts. After the three cousins get married, they will still go back to Yanling Mansion..."
The Empress Dowager's eyes couldn't help glooming.
From Gu Jinzhi's voice, I also looked at her ordinary and calm little woman, with the quietness and peace precipitated by the years. She does not seek glory and wealth, but only wants comfort.
I miss the Empress Dowager's current mood.
So, Gu Jinzhi's words can especially resonate with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager felt that what Gu Jinzhi outlined was what the Empress Dowager wanted most now.
Why does such a young child have a mentality similar to that of the Empress Dowager who has seen all the prosperity?
The Empress Dowager praised it in her heart and felt sad at the same time.
She kept saying, go back to Yanling Mansion, go back to Yanling Mansion...
How sad would she be if she knew she couldn't go back?
If she knew that she was about to leave her parents who held her in the palm of her hand, how reluctant she would be?
The Empress Dowager was depressed for a while, and she reluctantly drank more than half of a bowl of porridge and put it down.
"You should also go to rest. I'm going to bed." The Empress Dowager sighed.
Gu Jin's way is to retreat.
The Empress Dowager is a little abnormal, and it must have something to do with her.
Gu Jin's heart flashed with doubts.
She thought about what was wrong, and then understood that after the emperor came to say hi to her, she talked to the empress dowager in the inner hall for a long time, and the empress dowager was a little upset.
Gu Jinzhi didn't want to speculate about the Tian family.
She went back to her side hall, washed up and went to bed.
Over there, the Empress Dowager was thoughtful and still awake at the second watch.
Aunt Cheng thought that the Empress Dowager had committed the old illness again, so she quickly called Gu Jinzhi and asked her to have a look.
When Gu Jinzhi came in, the Empress Dowager laughed.
"You can't let go of something on your mind." Gu Jinzhi asserted, "Empress dowager, everything has a creation, and everyone has a destiny. Your body is important now, and your thoughts make you feel empty and bitter. You should do everything.
The Empress Dowager smiled again.
She always has a little depression on her face.
She just thought of her youngest son Zhong Jun. Except for the last time we met, we haven't seen each other so far. Tomorrow Zhongjun will leave Beijing.
The Empress Dowager not only misses her son, but also feels sorry for Gu Jinzhi. The two things are mixed together, and I'm in a bad mood.
"What Jinzhi said." The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Go to sleep."
"I'll rub your palms and feet for you, so that you can sleep at ease." Gu Jinzhi said, and sat down to the Empress Dowager**.
The Empress Dowager didn't think so, and said with a smile.
In a while, the soles of her feet warmed up under Gu Jinzhi's rubbing, and she gradually became tired.
When Gu Jinzhi returned to his side hall, there was a strong wind outside.
In the middle of the night, it was spring snow all over the night.
Wide early, it's still like rubbing cotton and pulling wadding, flying all over the sky.
The emperor asked someone to pick three red plums, put them in glass plum bottles, and asked the little eunuch to send two plums to the empress dowager; with plum bottles shrugged by the beauty, and gave one of them to Gu Jin.
It is fragrant and beautiful. Gu Jinzhi likes it very much.
She has lived so long in her previous life, and her heart is not as light as that of a girl, so she never thinks about the behavior of others in the affairs of men and women.
The emperor sent Lamei, and she only thanked her for saving the empress dowager.
She also likes plums, which are beautiful and warm, inserted in the room, and the house is full of fragrance.
Accompanying the Empress Dowager for breakfast, the Empress Dowager's mood has passed.
After dinner, the Empress Dowager called Gu Jinzhi to the inner hall and sent all the people in the room to whisper to her.
