The court is treacherous, and the court plays five at night
Mei Niang nodded, thinking that he often accompanied his father every day, and no one could see it as accurately as he did. Then he said again: "Then you said that Anren Hall and Daji Hall are not in harmony, and you also said that the noble concubine Niangniang is upright, and Concubine De Niangniang has no bad intentions, but I am afraid that the people below are fighting?" ”
"Yes and no." The young slave only looked at the chessboard and said casually: "An Rendian is different from others, it seems that the noble mother is the main concubine, but in fact, her cousin Wei Zhaorong is the real powerful character." Since Wei Zhaorong entered the palace, even when the queen mother was there, she also tolerated her several times. Not to mention the other concubines. She has always been beautiful in appearance, good at poetry, understanding music and rhythm, and is completely two-way with the noble concubine who is just dignified and polite, so she is always favored by her father, and the Wei family has meritorious service in the Tang Dynasty, the noble concubine indulges her to fight, the lady disdains to fight with her, the virtuous concubine does not want to fight with her, and the German concubine can't fight with her...... Therefore, the concubines below should not compete with her. ”
Mei Niang groaned, and said: "In this way, she is afraid that she doesn't like Suqin?" ”
"Isn't it? The young slave heard the princess say that when she entered the palace with her cousin, she was originally going to make her a concubine according to her father's wishes. But who knew that the noble mother and concubine had a son, but she had nothing to do, and the father had to make her a Zhaorong, and made her cousin a concubine, which is now the noble concubine, and also promised her that if she had an heir, she could be crowned a concubine.
Therefore, she is afraid that she is more eager to have a child than anyone else. "Childish slave said.
Mei Niang's heart tightened, and as a result, she lost two sons in a row, and after hurriedly making amends, she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the matter of the heirs in this palace is also difficult to say." Sister Wu heard that in the past two years, although many concubines in the palace have children, they can't be born and raised well! ”
"Sister Wu, you and I are both very fond of history books, and we should know that although the children in this palace seem to have noble status, they are extremely difficult to raise." Speaking of these, it touched the tragic heart of the young slave, and at that time I only felt a pain in my heart, and I thought of the bowl of poisonous sweet cheese and the pair of shoes with extremely smooth soles of the dragon pattern......
And the statue of the Bodhisattva full of pollen......
Tightly, he clenched his fists.
Mei Niang heard that the voice of the young slave was different, and she knew that he was only afraid that he was also one of the "children who seem to have a noble status, but it is extremely difficult to raise", and she couldn't bear it at the moment, and gently comforted: "Having said that, once this young dragon grows up, it will have a bright future." ”
The young slave knew that she was trying to comfort her, but she was also useful, and smiled lightly: "Sure enough, it is still the best sister Wu to treat the young slave...... By the way, Sister Wu, when you go back to the palace tomorrow, the young slave will come to pick you up, okay? ”
"This must not be done! Now that you are in the palace, you have finally obtained a neutral position, if you are regarded by others as concubines and concubines because of me, I am afraid that it is Your Majesty, and it is difficult to ensure that you will not be framed by others in the future. The young slave is obedient, if Sister Wu enters the palace in the future, we will still be rare. ”
"Sister Wu......"
At the beginning of the next month, the Wu clan was pardoned by Taizong and went out of the court.
On the day of being released from the cage, there were fine pieces of cold autumn rain floating in the sky, which made Mei Niang feel a lot of sorrow.
But she didn't want to worry for long, and from a distance, she saw a woman dressed in plain clothes, with an umbrella held by the little eunuch behind her, accompanied by two maids next to her, looking anxiously.
When she saw her dressed in a thick cloth scarf and her face haggard, the woman was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she was surprised: "Sister! Sister Mei Niang! ”
While shouting, he cried and threw himself at her despite the guards who stopped him.
Mei Niang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly lost the package and went up to stop her: "Are you crazy?" The one who has the dragon heir! Why are you so careless! ”
Suqin just hugged Mei Niang and cried. Mei Niang saw her like this, and she also burst into tears.
The two sisters cried, but Mei Niang was older after all, so she persuaded Suqin: "It's a good thing for sisters to reunite, but when you cry like this, everyone is sad."
Su Qin stopped her tears and said, "What my sister said is that Su Qin is too willful. Let's go, today my sister will see the light of day again, Su Qinke has prepared wine and food for my sister, go back! ”
Sisters get together, and there is no need to mention joy. Seeing that the two of them had a lot to say, Liu'er wanted to take the palace people to retreat, but he didn't want to be rewarded by the palaces in a moment. Su Qin and Mei Niang also had to thank them one by one.
After a while, the hall was quiet, and when he was about to speak, he got news that the Huashang Palace of the Ganlu Hall had arrived.
The name of this Huashang Palace is known to the foreign ministers, so Suqin Meiniang hurriedly invited someone in.
As soon as Hua Yan entered the hall, he first saluted Su Qin and Mei Niang, and then said: "Congratulations to the martial arts, I finally saw the light of day again." ”
Mei Niang thanked her, and said: "In the past few months, although Mei Niang is in prison, she also knows that Hua Shang Palace has taken a lot of care of Mei Niang, otherwise, the court is not a good place to get along." In the future, if there is a Mei Niang in Huashang Palace who can help, although it is said. ”
Hua Yan saw that she knew how to repay her kindness, and she liked it in her heart, so she said: "The martial artist said this, but he was angry. I came here, but because of the orders of the King of Jin, I must send some things to Yuan Chongyi and the martial arts. ”
When Su Qin heard this, she smiled and said, "That's it, thank you very much." ”
Hua Yan took a few palace maids and presented the things one by one. Basically, it's all food and supplements, although it's rare, but there are some things, Mei Niang has seen it in the things sent by the young slave before, but it's not very rare.
But Su Qin was stunned when she saw it - although she was a noble girl and entered the inner palace, Taizong had also rewarded her a lot recently, but there were some things she had never seen before.
I wanted to ask one or two, but when I looked up and saw Mei Niang's indifferent face, I was surprised, so I didn't ask again.
Everything was put on the table, and Hua Yan stepped forward with Ryan, and presented a lacquer box in his hand that was not light, and Mei Niang, and said: "Wucairen, when you saved the life of the prince, the prince has always remembered it." This box of things was originally prepared by the prince and was to be handed over to the martial artists. Behold...... But it's okay, now that the martial arts are out of the sea of suffering, it is precisely this thing that is needed to nourish the body. ”
Mei Niang was curious, took the box, opened it, and saw that it was also wrapped in a layer of yellow and clear oil paper, and when she opened it, it turned out to be filled with a bean the size of a bean, vermilion and lovely dried fruit, and there was a little white circle on the stem of this dried fruit.
"It's ...... Medlar? After all, Mei Niang had some insight, and after seeing things clearly, she was quite surprised: "This thing is not easy to obtain, only in the northwest (Ningxia area, Tang called the northwest) has production." And most of them are wild, and there are not many results. Such a box is afraid that it is a thousand gold. ”
Although Suqin has never seen Ejiao, this wolfberry has also seen her father get a reward and take it. At the moment, he was also amazed, and asked Huayan: "Although this thing is also available in the market, it is always the largest number of thirty or fifty." With such a large weight, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will move the entire storage of the Ganlu Palace? ”
Hua Yan said with a smile: "This thing is indeed rare, but our prince is loved by the Lord, and there is some cold and evil qi in the body since childhood, so every half a year the generals who guard the northwest find this thing, and send it to the palace to relieve the suffering of wind and disease with the Lord, the Lord will always reward half of the amount obtained with the prince to relieve him of the pain of cold and evil." Therefore, although this thing is rare in the palace, it is not enough to eat it in the prince's place. It's a pity that Yuan Chongyi is pregnant and can't take this thing. Otherwise, this thing is eye-catching and beautiful, and it is very good for women. ”
Su Qin heard such a rare thing in the childish slave is only ordinary, and she heard the flower saying that she was pregnant with this thing and could not eat, so she immediately glanced at Mei Niang with a smile.
Mei Niang was inexplicably looked at by her, and she didn't pay attention to her, but just thanked Huayan.
After talking for a while, Hua Yan was going back to the Ganlu Palace, but who knew that he was stopped by Su Qin, some things, although they were not respectful, but they always wanted to thank the King of Jin, and asked Hua Yan to bring them back to the King of Jin.
When he heard the words, he responded with a smile. Su Qin beckoned Liu'er to come and whispered a few words, Liu'er nodded and went straight inside.
After a short time, Liu'er came over with an object and handed it over to Hua Yan. Other humane people, Mei Niang was shocked when she saw it: wasn't it when she was living in Cairen, she yelled that it was cold in winter, and she felt cold in her hands when she played chess, and she spent three months embroidering it by hand, and when she was relegated to the court, she gave her a chrysanthemum hand cage when she left? Why did this girl take it out and give it to the childish slave? And on closer inspection, it looks like it's new, and it doesn't seem to have been used at all......
immediately wanted to stop talking and walking, but was pulled back by Su Qinsheng.
Seeing that Hua Yan had accepted something, Su Qin retreated from everyone again, Mei Niang said angrily: "Aren't you crazy? That's the hand cage I gave you! If you don't pay me back, why do you use it as a favor?! ”
"Sister, you have wronged me! Am I not a rarity there? I'm not willing to do it! If you're not there, who else am I going to play chess with? So, that hand cage is the only thing I thought about when you were in the court. Now that you're back, it's my most precious treasure! ”
"Then you still give it away?"
"Sister, I'm reluctant to give it away! But you see, the prince of Jin has given you so many good things, and even such precious medicinal materials that His Majesty rewarded him with have taken them to you, so affectionate...... If we return something that doesn't work, how can we do it? So, that thing was my sister's substitute and returned to the prince of Jin. ”
When Mei Niang heard this, she couldn't help but say: "You girl, you are also a headless and tailless talker!" What do you mean by such affection! Are you going to kill your sister and me? ”
"Sister...... I didn't say how you and King Jin were, I just said that King Jin treated you well. You see, with so many good things given to you, didn't he treat you well? And...... I see that you see these things that are hard to see in the palace, but you are not surprised at all...... Moreover, this Jin prince rewarded something, as if he had calculated the time, and only waited for the other palaces to finish before coming...... Why do I think he did it on purpose? Moreover, you have seen these things a long time ago, right? ”
When Su Qin asked this, Mei Niang asked a little embarrassed, and it took a long time before she feigned anger and said: "You little girl, you are really getting more and more weird!" Yes, when I was in the court, the slaves did send a lot of things. But I'm like you, I've never seen it, and I don't know how amazing these things are. Otherwise, I won't take it again. ”
Su Qin nodded and said with a smile: "So, if you accept his baby, then you have to return him like your baby." My sister's heart for Suqin can be embroidered on the flowers, and with your little poems embroidered with ink threads, it is the rarest treasure in this palace. If such a thing is sent out, are you afraid that you won't be able to repay his heart? ”
Mei Niang thought about it, and felt that although it was a little inappropriate, she finally repaid some of the childish slave's intentions, so she smiled and said, "You...... I can't talk about you all the time. ”
