16. The love of children (3)
Concubine Li hurriedly knelt down, "The concubine doesn't know what the queen mother means, and she is very frightened." ”
"Hurry up," the Queen Mother said, "It's no wonder that you, whoever called us are not princesses, I don't know their grievances here," the Queen Mother asked Princess Rongshou, "Do you know about my sister?" ”
"I know some," Princess Rongshou replied, "I just don't know to what extent, and I have asked my sister several times, but she refuses to say." ”
"Also, your sister is honest, so she naturally feels embarrassed to say that you have such a temperament, and they don't dare to bully you too much," the Queen Mother Zhengrong said, "Although this matter is the ancestral family law, I can't watch my children be wronged." Where are Princess Rong'an's grandmothers? ”
Several grandmothers knelt down, and the Queen Mother shouted, "You are so bold! ”
Everyone stood up and listened to the queen mother's anger, "You were originally slaves, you actually dared to stop the princess and the concubine from meeting, and dared to ask for bribes, the princess got married, but there are so many of you mothers-in-law, it is really hateful, whether the husband and wife meet, it is difficult to ask your approval!" I asked you people to marry the princess in order to prevent the princess from being wronged, and there will be fewer people to serve, not to let you go to the princess's house and be the princess's housekeeper! The Queen Mother called De Ling in a loud voice, "It's really hateful, where is De Ling?" Send all these people to the Punishment Division! ”
Concubine Li was furious, "Okay, it's really bullying people on their heads!" Hurry up, pull it down, and it's only happy that the cane is killed! ”
Several grandmothers were paralyzed into flesh, and couldn't stop kowtowing to ask for guilt, Princess Rong'an was kind in the end, and pleaded for mercy, the Empress Dowager Cixi was very angry, "These dog slaves," she never said these insulting words, and today she seems to be angry, "I can't spare them." ”
Princess Rongshou also knelt down, "Huang Eniang, please dissipate your anger, you are angry again, and it also depends on these nannies and grandmothers who are serving her sister to grow up, so they are punished, in the end, my sister has no face, and people outside said that my sister is not considerate of the old servant, although they are at fault, but they can't be punished heavily." ”
What Princess Rongshou said was reasonable, and the queen mother couldn't help but listen, "Okay, I will spare their lives, beat ten boards, expel them from the palace, and don't serve the princess anymore." Wufu, pass on my decree, in the future, the princess and the county lord will marry, and if the palace people who accompany the marriage have the matter of overpowering the lord with slaves, they will all be killed! ”
"Yes."
The Queen Mother pulled up Princess Rong'an and sighed, "Whether it is the harem or the heirs, there are not many people left by the first emperor, you," the Queen Mother shook her head, "These things, you should have told me a long time ago, everyone is a family member, why bother to bear the burden yourself?" Isn't that how family members should be, sharing with each other? What's the fun of hiding it all by yourself? ”……
Rong Lu grabbed the reins of the horse and got off the horse, the servant was already waiting, and took the whip from Rong Lu's hand, "Master." ”
"Where's the old lady?"
"Teasing the young master in the garden with his wife."
Rong Lu nodded, stroked the sleeves of his clothes, stepped into the gate, bypassed the middle hall, walked towards the back, and arrived at the back garden, only to see a toddler three-year-old boy under the autumn sun, stumbling towards a woman with open hands, and another old woman with gorgeous hair looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Come, big brother, E-Niang is here," the woman with her back to Rong Lu called softly, "Come over, come to E-Niang." ”
The little boy walked a few steps, but he still had no strength in his legs, he sat on the ground with his butt on his head, his mouth pouted, and he was about to cry when he saw it, and suddenly saw Rong Lu behind the woman, and broke into a smile, his hands broke away and waved, and his mouth babbled.
The old woman raised her head and saw Rong Lu who was looking at her in a daze, "Lu'er is back." ”
The young woman picked up the little boy, turned her head, and also saw Rong Lu, with a surprised expression in her eyes, and was blessed, "The master is back." ”
Rong Lu nodded, "E-niang," walked down the steps, took the little boy from the young woman's hand, looked at his son gently, and the boy didn't feel that the father in front of him was unfamiliar, grabbed his father's ear, looked at it for a while, and wiped the snot on Rong Lu's shoulder.
Rong Lu hugged the boy tightly and said to the young woman, "I have been in the Fengtai camp all day long, and the whole family depends on you to take care of it, and I have worked hard for you." ”
"What did the master say," the young woman was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "This is my duty, and I dare not take credit." ”
Rong Lu nodded, and said to his mother, "I will go home to take a look after the rest of the past few days, and it will be Amma's death day in a few days, and I will always put incense on the pillar when I come back." ”
"Yes," the young woman took the son from Rong Lu's hand, asked the nurse to take it down, and said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager Xi is also worried about the old lady's days, and specially asked the Internal Affairs Office to give the sandalwood incense made in the house to prepare for the sacrifice." ”
Rong Lu's figure froze slightly, and then he was very calm, "The Queen Mother is holy." (To be continued.) )
