The Third Sister of You's Family in the Red Chamber

Suddenly being summoned by the most powerful woman in the harem, Yao Shan couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, but since the decree had already arrived, it was impossible not to go, so she had to bite the bullet.

Different from the emperor's heirs, the atmosphere of the Compassionate Ning Palace is more solemn and solemn, probably because there are some old people living there, and there is still some incense, which seems to be offering to gods and Buddhas.

Yao Shan followed the eunuch leading the way all the way, turned and turned, and finally entered the gate of the Palace of Compassion.After being informed all the way by the chief eunuch, he lowered his head and entered the inner room just as ordered, and knelt down in front of the queen mother.

After finishing the routine greetings, Yao Shan quietly lowered her head, waiting for the person in charge to speak.After all, the empress dowager's name is quite impressive, and now she is at her home court. If she is not honest, she will be crushed to death every minute, and she doesn't want to die yet.

Fortunately, the most honorable old lady in the world didn't mean to embarrass her too much, so she got up after a while.

Yao Shan could only hear an old but very kind female voice, slowly saying: "It's strangely cold on the ground, get up quickly, come to Ai's family, and ask Ai's family to take a good look at you."

This voice was exactly the voice of the old woman she heard when she ran for the last election.No need to ask, it is the queen mother.Yao Shan kowtowed to thank her, and slowly stood up, but still with her head half down, walked slowly to the old woman's seat, waiting for the next instruction.

Originally, as a female official, she had no chance to show her face to the Queen Mother.And there was nothing special, and the queen mother had no reason to summon her.Of course, if you really want to see her, you don't need any special reason.For example, today, with a simple summons, she obediently came.

As for what to do to meet her, I have no idea at all.

Even though she claimed to have a strong mental quality, facing the empress dowager who represented the highest dignity of royal women at this moment, Yao Shan would inevitably still be a little nervous and didn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, so far, the empress dowager has not shown any intention of finding fault.Although it took a little longer to "look at the family", it was still within an acceptable range.Anyway, everyone is a woman, and the old man likes to watch it, so let her watch it, who is afraid that it will not be transformed?

While Yao Shan was secretly and earnestly doing psychological construction for herself, she still kept silent quietly.No matter what time it is, there is nothing wrong with being a quiet and beautiful girl. At least, the Empress Dowager called someone to call her here this time. I'm afraid it's not really as simple as just "looking at" her. Then, again Wait a while, she will always show her purpose.

Yao Shan's prediction was correct.After a while, she heard a soft sigh, but this sigh was not from the Queen Mother, but from another woman beside her.

When Yao Shan was kneeling on the ground before, she had already seen the queen mother in this hall.There are at least one or two other people who are also very luxuriously dressed.Although I only saw dresses and shoes, but looking at the expensive materials and embroidery, I think the status is not low.

The one who sighed at this moment was from the person sitting next to the Queen Mother, so it must be someone who is very close to the Queen Mother.

Listening to the tone, this person is not young anymore. Although Yao Shan is temporarily unclear about this person's identity and intentions, her sigh immediately broke the previous silence.

After hearing this voice, the queen mother immediately turned her head and asked, "What's wrong with my sister? Why are you sighing?"

Hearing that, he immediately said respectfully: "Sister, forgive me, the concubine is just a little emotional, just thinking of an old friend."

This voice was very similar to that of the queen mother, and the queen mother actually only called her "sister".That's all, she actually only called the queen mother "sister".Even though Yao Shan has not been in the palace for a long time, there is only one person in the harem who can speak like this, and that is Concubine Shu Hui.

It's because she is indeed the biological younger sister of the empress dowager. Although she has no children, she is honored as the imperial concubine.The empress dowager is a nostalgic person, and when she gets older, she likes to be with her old sisters even more, so the honor of concubine Shu Hui is really the only one in heaven and earth.

It's no wonder that she is the only one who dares to say those words so bluntly.

Feeling in love?Remember the old man?

So, is she talking about that one?According to the legend, Yao Shan was tricked into boarding the boat by her master in a daze, and was the original owner who became someone else's substitute?

She had an ominous premonition that today's affairs might be difficult.

As soon as this thought came up, the Empress Dowager sighed leisurely and said: "I have already seen it that day. Concubine De came to the palace late, so I am afraid I have not seen her, but Concubine Rong has seen her... It's just that the little princess that day Xuan, you are sick, didn't you go?"

Another younger female voice, who was sitting a little further away, hurriedly said: "The concubine was cold that day, and I was afraid that the girls in Xiaoxuan would be tired and infected, so I shamelessly claimed to be sick. Please forgive me, the queen mother." The crime of concubine disrespect."

The queen mother smiled and said, "This is not to pick on your courtesy. Just take a look, does this child look like her?"

The voice agreed, and stared at Yao Shan for a while.

Although Yao Shan still lowered her head halfway, she could feel her scrutinizing gaze.This one is different from the previous two. If there is substance, it seems to have warmth, but for a moment, it makes her a little overwhelmed.

Hearing the Empress Dowager greet her just now, it turned out to be Concubine Rong?Isn't that the third son's mother and concubine?According to legend, the first concubine of the current emperor?

It's no wonder that she looks at herself like this.

The substitute of the old empress of the Yuan Dynasty or something?Looking at a concubine who was favored in the early years, has a weak successor, and is old and decrepit, there is no need to think too much, it is enough to make up several love-hate dramas.Yao Shan couldn't help but want to lower her head, but at this moment, Concubine Rong spoke.

It's hard for her to control her tone so well. Although the emotion contained in it seems very complicated, it sounds very calm: "I also think that this child looks very similar."

The queen mother sighed and said, "Do you feel like the emperor that she should not be kept in the palace?"

All I could hear was the rubbing of clothes and the clattering of rings, but it was Concubine Rong who knelt down.She knelt and said, "Concubines don't dare. It's just that the emperor treats the former empress sister...that is different from others."

When she said this, she stopped talking.However, there is no need to talk about it for this sake.Some people, after losing some people, want to find a substitute so that they can move on.But there are some people who "rather lack than abuse" and would rather live a lifetime with their memories, and never use a substitute to desecrate the original beauty.

Although it sounds a bit literary, but the current emperor seems to be the latter kind of "dedicated" person.And she is the unlucky "stand-in" of "true love" who is not liked, and even hated.

Of course, if she knew what happened next, she would have a deeper understanding of the emperor not wanting to see her.This is of course something to say later, all in all, during this hour in the Compassionate Ning Palace, she really experienced from anxiety to dire straits, but luckily in the end, she finally returned to calm.

This is all because of a word from the gentle and considerate, virtuous and virtuous concubine. "Although this is the case, it is a good thing to keep this child. After all, it is a thought... The empress dowager's painstaking efforts to be a mother, the concubine watched from the side, and understood a little bit. "

The queen mother then sighed in relief, and said slowly: "It's hard for you to understand Aijia's thoughts, after all, you are all mothers. That's all, let's all get up, and move it for the little girl of You's family too." Get a stool."

Concubine Rong got up and sat down again.Yao Shan also kowtowed to thank her, and sat down on the small embroidered stool with a slanted body.After that, no one mentioned this matter anymore, and began to enter the seemingly normal "gossip" link.

Considering that she is a counselor, as a companion of the princess, all he can tell her is how the princesses are doing in school, and a few words about family by the way.Hearing that her father, You Daoqi, is a Daolu division performer, specializing in alchemy and pharmaceuticals, those who love Lifo were unexpectedly very interested, and they talked a lot with her.Fortunately, Yao Shan has been brainwashed by Father You since she was a child, casually chatting about medicine pills and Taoism, it will not trouble her.

The deep palace is boring, once the chatterbox is opened, there is no need to worry about having nothing to say.So, from the studies of the princesses, to Papa You's elixir, somehow transferred to Yao Shan's medical skills.Finally, a "free clinic" was even started on the spot.Although Yao Shan repeatedly said that she only knows superficially and is far inferior to Master Zhang Youshi's one or two percent, but these masters don't believe it.Someone said, "We're not sick anyway, just take a look around for fun."

So, in order to cooperate with the request of the masters to "have fun", Yao Shan hurriedly registered the pulses of the four middle-aged and elderly women, and also talked about some health-preserving knowledge. When it was time for dinner, He was released reluctantly.

Of course it was intended to stay for dinner, but someone passed the word that the Lord Long Live will come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to serve the Empress Dowager Lafayette together for dinner, so Yao Shan hastily resigned—there is no need to stick around It's going to make people feel uncomfortable there, isn't it?That is a long live God who loves above all else.

Unexpectedly, Long Live's legs were very fast, Yao Shan had no choice but to retreat quietly through the back door.After thinking about it, the masters felt that she performed well today, so fortunately they sent a few people to see her off.These father-in-laws also sent her near the palace gate according to the rules. Originally, she turned a corner by herself, then passed through a palace gate, and then went outside.It's a pity that it was getting dark at this time, and when she was walking towards the corner, she accidentally bumped into someone on the opposite side.

Although she could feel that he was trying to avoid her, but because she hadn't eaten dinner today, she was already a little dizzy from hunger, and after such a bump, even if it wasn't too heavy, she felt a burst of gold stars in front of her eyes. Almost fainted on the spot.

Just when she staggered and fell to the ground, the man on the opposite side had already stepped forward, hugged her by the waist, and sighed: "Why are you still so reckless?"
