Chapter 38, Wu Meiren, Gu Jieyu
The Forbidden City, which had been renovated by the hands of Xuan Taizu, was very different from the Forbidden City that she remembered visiting several times.
However, the Imperial Garden still maintains the antique classical charm, coupled with the Jiangnan connotation of small bridges and flowing water, it is indeed an elegant royal garden.
In the Su Ri, if the concubines have nothing to do, they will often come here to take a walk and enjoy the scenery.
Right now, it has passed the hottest dog days, and the scenery of the Imperial Garden is just right, and Wei Jiashu is strolling leisurely, looking at the lush flowers and trees.
Suddenly, I saw a palace concubine wearing a blue cloud brocade jacket sitting in the octagonal square pavilion in front of me, she combed a gentle peach heart bun, held a begonia fan, her face was elegant and beautiful, her body was slightly plump, and she was followed by four or five palace maids, who seemed to be resting here.
Wei Jiashu was wondering which palace it was, and Yingluo had already said in her ear: "Little master, that's Wu Meiren of Yongqing Palace." ”
Wei Jiashu was slightly surprised in his heart, it was the Wu beauty who was robbed of the fourth prince by Xia Guifei? I heard that Wu Meiren is not yet three months pregnant, but now she looks pretty good.
Wu Meiren's position is two levels higher than her, a picker, Wei Jiashu naturally can't turn a blind eye, so he has to step forward and bend his knees: "Concubine Changqiu Palace Wei, I've seen Wu Meiren." ”
Wu Meiren is indeed a beauty, although she is not stunning, but there is a bit of gentleness and pleasantness between her eyebrows, she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes looked at Wei Jiashu's face like water, and then smiled: "I have been in the palace for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a person with such an outstanding appearance as Wei Cainu." ”
Wei Jiashu hurriedly said: "The beauty has won the award." ”
Wu Meiren frowned, and suddenly said in a low voice: "It's been three days since the canonization of the girl, have you ever gone to ask the concubine to say goodbye?" ”
Wei Jiashu hurriedly replied: "The concubine just came out of Chang'an Palace. ”
Wu Meiren nodded, and said meaningfully: "That's good, in this palace, the most important thing is not to lose etiquette." ”
"Thank you for your advice!" Wei Jiashu hurriedly thanked him, and said quickly: "By the way, it's not too early, and the concubine should go back." ”
Wei Jiashu's eagerness to leave made Wu Meiren stunned, and she nodded immediately: "It's okay, it's not a good thing for you to be too close to me." ”
Wei Jiashu pretended to be ignorant that she didn't understand, she curtsied and left the imperial garden.
Return to the west side hall of Changqiu Palace.
Yingluo closed the door and said in a low voice: "Although Wu Meiren has an excellent temperament, after all, she is a person who is hated by the concubine, and the little lord is indeed not suitable to be too close to her. ”
Wei Jiashu took off the heavy white jade gourd earrings on his ears and said in a low voice: "I am not in a hurry to leave because of this." ”
Yingluo was puzzled: "Why does the little master ......?"
Wei Jiashu said quietly: "She was robbed of the four princes by the concubine, but she was able to live peacefully without crying or making trouble, which shows that her city is not shallow." ”
Ying Luo's eyebrows tightened, and he was speechless for a while.
Wei Jiashu said: "Actually, I can also understand that if Wu Meiren cries and refuses to comply, it will only cause the emperor to be bored and have more grudges with the concubine." She did this, and it was also the best choice after weighing the pros and cons. ”
Yingluo nodded, "Being in the harem, there are indeed many last resorts. ”
When the two said this, the palace maid Xiaocheng knocked on the door and reported: "Little master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent you this month's share, and there are also some furniture and other miscellaneous items. ”
The harem has added a newcomer, and the Internal Affairs Office will naturally send the corresponding pots and pans according to the position, although the furniture in the side hall is complete, but you can also add some screens, incense, and Western clocks.
Because she seems to be quite favored as a newcomer, the things sent by the Internal Affairs Office are not bad.
It's just that some furnishings and utensils have identity restrictions, such as chopsticks, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent only two sets of ebony inlaid silver chopsticks, and it is said that only women of the world can enjoy ivory chopsticks.
Even the ornamental patterns of porcelain plates and furniture are also regulated, and only women above the world can use Luan patterns. The female queen can only use some auspicious patterns.
However, it doesn't matter, the few small pieces of furniture and furnishings added by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time are all of high quality, and they are added to the side hall one by one, which is really a little more magnificent than before.
Wei Jiashu had to grit his teeth and ask Yingluo to reward the eunuch sent by the Internal Affairs Office.
The wallet has shrunk again!
After dinner, at the beginning of twilight, Yingluo came to report: "Little master, there is news from the respectful room, the emperor did not turn over the card today, but only went to visit Gu Jieyu in the afternoon." ”
As for why Yingluo was able to get these news, didn't he spend money to pay for the worship room?
Wei Jiashu once again mourned for his wallet.
As for this Gu Jieyu, it seems that she has been pregnant for five or six months, so it is naturally impossible to sleep.
Xuan Chengyi is by no means an emperor with a pure heart and few desires, and today he originally planned to turn over a brand casually, although Jiashu sprained his waist and couldn't continue to turn it over tonight, but there was no beauty on the emperor's pillow.
But at this time, news came from the Tai Hospital, saying that Gu Jieyu had an unhealthy fetus, and she had hurriedly asked the Tai Doctor to go to the fetus.
Xuan Chengyi still cared about his own blood and bones, and thought that he hadn't seen the Gu family for some days, so he came in person and went to visit.
Gu Jieyu's fetal movement is naturally no big problem, and the imperial doctor reported to the emperor as soon as possible: "Please rest assured, Gu Jieyu's fetal appearance is not a big problem, presumably because the little prince in the womb is in good health, so it is extra noisy." ”
Gu Jieyu, who had a plump waist, also looked panicked and happy, "The concubine is just a fetal movement, but I didn't expect it to alarm the emperor, is it the concubine." ”
As she spoke, Gu Jieyu hurriedly supported her heavy waist and bent her knees to apologize.
At this moment, Xuan Chengyi naturally saw that the Gu family was competing for favor.
Xuan Chengyi didn't help, but said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Gu Jieyu looked like a hibiscus, and her ruddy face was a little uneasy: "Concubine...... Is it disturbing the emperor's government affairs? The emperor is not angry with his concubines, right? ”
Xuan Chengyi's demeanor was quite gentle: "You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, don't think too much." ”
Gu Jieyu bit her lip, lowered her head, and whispered "yes", her face was meek, and her heart became more and more flustered: Did the emperor see that she deliberately used the child in her womb to compete for favor?
Xuan Chengyi has seen a lot of harem women's methods, like Gu's, they didn't hurt the child in their womb, but they just made a little fuss, but in fact, Xuan Chengyi didn't get angry.
It's just a little annoying, but seeing that Gu's waist is already heavy, he comforted: "You are good to give birth to a safe baby, if there is something missing, just ask someone to order the Internal Affairs Office." When I give birth to a prince in the future, I will make you a concubine. ”
Hearing such a promise, Gu Jieyu was overjoyed, and she hurriedly curtsied: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the concubine must take care of herself and the child in her womb, and she will definitely give birth to a healthy little prince for you." ”
Xuan Chengyi: Gu is confident enough...... Don't you feel like you're pregnant with a little princess at all?
It's no wonder that Gu is so convinced, mainly because Gu Jieyu changed her appetite immediately after she became pregnant, she was extremely acidophilic, and as her belly grew, it became more and more pointy, coupled with the strength of the child in her womb, it was in line with the signs of pregnancy with a male fetus that the folk said.
