Chapter 22

With the empress dowager's favor, Yinhu came to Shoukang Palace early the next morning holding the "Diamond Sutra" that he copied overnight.Wu Yashi had finished worshiping the Buddha in the apse, and when he saw the bamboo breath leading Guerjia in, he took a good look at him.

Yinhu met the Queen Mother's solemn and probing eyes, and walked quite comfortably into the main room, knelt down in front of the Queen Mother to pay her respects, with thoughtful etiquette and modesty, just like a famous girl who has been educated for many years.

The shocking scene on the day of the Xiunv palace selection still made the empress dowager still palpitate. I only remember that the Guerjia family not only had an appearance that should not have been, but was also quite calm.No empress dowager of any dynasty or generation would like such a woman to be favored by the emperor.

But now seeing this delicate and elegant man in front of him, kneeling and behaving like a court lady, he let go of his hanging heart and asked Guarjia to get up and save himself. present.

Yinhu stood flat, he knew that the Empress Dowager's eyes had never moved away from his face.But he was able to take the "Diamond Sutra" from Fang Ruo's hand without realizing it, and presented it to the empress dowager who was over seventy years old.

The Empress Dowager only needed to show her eyes, and Zhu Xi took the scriptures for her, and turned two pages in front of the Empress Dowager, Wu Yashi was very satisfied after reading it.It's not easy for a little girl from a poor family to have such strength. The Empress Dowager didn't care about appreciating fonts, she only liked the filial piety of the younger concubine, so she smiled kindly at Guerjia and raised her hand to let Yinhu help her , said on the mouth, "Sit with Ai's family in the warm pavilion."

Yinhu supported the Queen Mother in response, walked out of the Buddhist hall, and climbed down the steps.Accompanied by the Queen Mother, he walked around the backyard and entered the main hall.Although Yinhu's body is weak, but his hands are very stable, this dedication has been fully remembered in the Queen Mother's heart.

As for the other people in the harem, Yinhu had to think a little more before he dared to agree to what he liked, but the queen mother was under his control.I remember when he was young, he hit it off with his fourth brother at first, and later with his fourteenth brother.The Yonghe Palace where Concubine De lived, he often came and went.Yinhu dared to say that when getting along with concubine De, he, the irrelevant eighth elder brother, was far more cordial than his own son Yinzhen.

For one thing, Yinhu was smart and considerate since she was a child, and she was quite loved before the emperor's parents and concubines.Secondly, he also has the reputation of serving his mother as a filial piety, even if he gets into trouble in the future, he will be cherished by several mothers and concubines who live in the deep palace.Therefore, in the harem, the first one Yinhu wants to regain is the queen mother.Clearing the level of Shoukang Palace can avoid the queen's backstabbing on the one hand, and avoid the emperor's obsession on the other.And the most important thing is to set up a way to communicate with the fourteenth brother in order to escape from birth.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, the Empress Dowager sat down on the Nuanzi, and also gave Yinhu a seat.When he opened his mouth, he talked about some family affairs, and asked about Yinhu's family situation.

This question hit Yinhu's heart, he leaned sideways towards the Queen Mother, and said softly, "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern. There are only a small number of people in the concubine's family, and now only my mother is accompanied by two or three servants, living in the Zhuangzi in the western suburbs .”

The Empress Dowager heard that the Guerjia family had no males, but she didn't want to be reduced to this, and then asked, "Why don't you live in Beijing."

"Since the father passed away, the adopted elder brother also went away within a few years. The family's food and clothing expenses were not covered, so the mother had to sell the mansion and send out servants. Only then did she live a decent life for a few years."

"Oh, my god, you are also a child who has grown up." The queen mother sighed sadly. The Wu Ya family was originally a palace maid selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Therefore, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but sighed in her heart. When she looked up at Guerjia, she didn't have the watery appearance that I still felt sorry for. She only felt that today he wore light makeup and thin clothes, and he was not as charming and seductive as the rumors said. , It's not as heroic as the palace selection day.

Before Yinhu came here, she had already worked on makeup for a long time.To reduce masculinity, add some femininity.And you can't wear heavy makeup, which will annoy the queen mother.After tossing around in Chuxiu Palace for an hour, he was satisfied to go out.After all, he is now a 16-year-old flowery age. He only needs a little modification, deliberate demeanor and demeanor, and he is very different from the forty-something Prince Lian.

In addition, people are naturally more pleasing to the eye. At this moment, the Empress Dowager does not feel that Guerjia's appearance is too obtrusive. After all, it is always a good thing for the emperor to favor a concubine.As long as this nobleman is not as frivolous and ignorant as the rumors say, that's enough.

While speaking, Nanny Sun had already placed three plates of snacks and added two bowls of new tea.Yinhu glanced at the table, there was a plate of crystal osmanthus cake, a plate of plum blossom cake, and a plate of kidney bean rolls.Yinhu got up slowly, picked up the plate of kidney bean rolls, and brought it to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager was slightly startled, these three plates of pastries were the seasonal regulations of the Imperial Dining Room, I am afraid that even the emperor did not know which plate he liked the most, but this nobleman brought out her favorite kidney bean roll.

Of course Yinhu knew what the queen mother was surprised at the moment. He looked at the queen mother with admiration, and said softly, "When I was a child, my mother loved Jingxiangzhai's kidney bean rolls the most. Sweet but not greasy, it melts in the mouth. That will My late father is still here, and I would bring it back for my mother from time to time. The family is happy and harmonious, and the whole family shares it. The concubine has not seen this dish for ten years."

Seeing Guerjia's smile with tears in her eyes, the Queen Mother's heart softened a little.Although it is a little presumptuous for Lian Gui to speculate on the Queen Mother's preferences based on her own mother's preferences, Wu Ya's family background does not care about these things. What she cares more about is whether this concubine who serves her son is of noble character, Whether it is virtuous and virtuous.And since ancient times, which mother-in-law doesn't love to let her daughter-in-law treat herself like a mother.The Guerjia family in front of me now, at a young age, knows how to serve the queen mother with the heart of serving his own mother, which is worthy of filial piety.

So, the queen mother took a piece of kidney bean roll from the plate, patted the back of Yinhu's hand, and said with a smile, "You and Aijia should try it together."

Yinhu said yes, and sat back to his original position to accompany the queen mother to taste some snacks. After a while, she heard the queen mother continue to explain, "You have not been in the palace for a long time, and you will serve the emperor carefully in the future. Some of you will see your mother." opportunity."

Yinhu stood up to thank her, and put her heart back in her stomach.It seems that today's scene of a filial daughter and a virtuous daughter-in-law in front of the Queen Mother has passed smoothly.

In Shoukang Palace, before Yinhu and the Queen Mother had finished drinking half a cup of tea, Aunt Zhuxi came in and reported, "Shen Guiren from Xianfu Palace is here."

Yinhu understood, it turned out that Shen Guiren was also following the empress dowager's route, which was much smarter than the generation of Fucha nobles.

Shen Guiren entered the Nuan Pavilion as usual, but when he saw Lian Guiren also in front of him, he froze slightly.Yinhu got up in a leisurely manner, and was the first to ask, "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly greeted the queen mother, and then said to Yinhu, "Hello, Liangui." Although she entered the palace earlier, they are both nobles, and the Guarjia family was awarded the word "Lian".Therefore, Yinhu was considered to be half taller than her, but he was taken aback just now, a little rude.

The Empress Dowager didn't care, she told them both to sit down, Shen Guiren has always been quiet, but now this Lian Guiren is also a polite man, the two of them sat beside him, relieved some boredom without making too much noise, the Empress Dowager was quite satisfied It's fun.

And Yinhu naturally saw that the queen mother didn't mind the rudeness of Fang Cai Shen Guiren, so it can be seen that Shen Meizhuang is still quite favored in front of the queen mother.It seems that in this harem, in addition to being favored by the emperor and being respectful in front of the Empress Concubine Hua, it is also necessary to exert some strength to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was happy today, so she kept the two nobles for dinner.Even though it was a reserved meal, the two juniors could only stand at the table and serve the dishes. After the Queen Mother finished eating, they sat down and tasted a few mouthfuls.

After the dinner table was removed, the queen mother said that she was tired today and sent them to kneel down.Yinhu left Shoukang Palace with Shen Guiren.

Shen Meizhuang originally heard that Lian Gui was punished by the Empress Dowager in Chuxiu Palace, but he did not expect to meet him in front of the Empress Dowager today.But just now after waiting for her, she felt that the Empress Dowager didn't seem to be bored with Mrs. Lian, after lunch, she even ordered Mrs. Lian to pay her respects to the Queen tomorrow, implying that the confinement was relieved.From the confinement to today, it took only three or four days for Liangui to change the impression of the Queen Mother, which is not easy.

Yinhu walked a few steps, and seeing Shen Guiren was silent all the way, she knew in her heart that this girl was probably planning something.He wasn't in a hurry to talk to her, instead he gave her enough time to let her feel a little bit of how powerful Master is.It would be best if the relationship between Zhen and Chen could be broken.But Yinhu is used to weaving party members and understands the difficulty of separating a pair of iron brothers, but he doesn't know whether sisters are as unbreakable as men.

Chuxiu Palace and Xianfu Palace were originally on the same road, so it was inconvenient for Shen Guiren to say goodbye to Yinhu, and on the way the two of them were walking to the palace, they happened to meet the emperor who came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The emperor didn't know if he planned to go to Chuxiu Palace, Xianfu Palace, or Suiyuxuan on this road.But Yinzhen didn't bother to care about what these harem concubines thought. Seeing Yinhu and Shen Guiren coming to greet you together, he said bluntly, "I was going to see you in Chuxiu Palace, but I didn't want to meet you here, so go with me Let's take a stroll in the imperial garden."

Guiren Shen listened with his head down, quite embarrassed, since the emperor said so, should he, a superfluous nobleman, go or accompany him?

Yinhu rolled her eyes in her heart, and said in her heart: Lord, I am going to test Shenmeizhuang, but I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out.Fourth brother said these words, I am afraid that Shen Guiren will feel extremely uncomfortable, and I am afraid that he will get tired of the master.

So Yinhu showed a very respectful look and crouched down again, "The concubine obeyed the order and said that peonies are rewarded during the Grain Rain season. The concubine and Mrs. Shen Gui are young, and they dare not go to the imperial garden suddenly for fear of disturbing the ladies. .”

Yinzhen nodded after hearing this, and waved his hand at Guiren Shen, "I agree, let's go for a walk together."

Shen Guiren's smile should be logical, but his heart is sore.In the past, it was to accompany Zhen Huan to accompany the driver, but now it is to accompany the noble man.Thinking about it, in the emperor's mind, the name Shenmeizhuang did not know where to go.

Yinhu naturally wouldn't think that Shen Meizhuang would be grateful, but firstly, he didn't want to accompany Shengjia alone, and secondly, he was going to let the cheap and noble Shen Guiren travel together with him.

It wasn't a coincidence that the emperor arrived at the Imperial Garden with two nobles on one left and one on the right, when he saw someone swinging on a swing set up in front of Duixiu Mountain.

Yinhu took a closer look and found that it was Zhen Huan, the noble lady.He almost laughed, although the imperial garden is a place for the concubines to play, but the low-ranking masters should avoid the empress and concubines, how could anyone dare to set up a swing in such a grandiose manner.

Yinhu glanced sideways at the emperor, only to see that the fourth brother also had internal injuries on his face.But when Zhen Huan saw the emperor coming, she jumped to the ground lightly, Huanbi helped Yingying walk to the emperor, and bowed down to say hello.That sweet smile made Yinhu understand what a girl Hanchun is.

The emperor was angry at first, but then he remembered the news at the sticky pole, saying that before he came, Emperor Yongzheng married Zhen Huan under the swing frame, and seeing the beautiful affection of the nobleman, the emperor did not want to refute it. In order to save her face, I had no choice but to press it down, thinking that I will slowly rectify the backyard in the future.

Zhen Huan and the emperor looked at each other secretly, only then did they realize why Shen Guiren and Lian Guiren were accompanying the emperor together?Before her eyes drifted to Shen Guiren, Yinhu said, "Mr. Wan Gui is very interested. There is a poem by Su Dongpo in the Northern Song Dynasty, "There is a swing inside the wall and outside the wall. People pass by outside the wall, and the beautiful woman inside the wall laughs." It is similar to the scene just now. Woolen cloth."

Zhen Huan blushed when she heard this, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the emperor with almond eyes.Yinzhen immediately regretted that he didn't scold Zhen Huan just now, but now that Guarjia's words mean that I am the lover who listened to laughing outside the wall.

Yinhu didn't bother to pay attention to the look in the eyes of the emperor, but Shen Guiren covered his mouth and smiled when he heard Lian Guiren's teasing. This way, the affection she and Yinhu came hand in hand became more real.

While Zhen Huan was shy, she naturally noticed it and said, "Why did Sister Shen come here with Sister Lian?"

Yinhu thought to himself, it's not good for her not to ask, the two sisters find a place where no one is around to talk about themselves afterward, and no one can control it.He was waiting for Zhen Huan to ask this question, so he smiled and said, "It's not surprising that my concubine lives close to nobleman Shen, and they came on the same road." Then he turned to look at the emperor, and said softly, "It's my concubine today. When I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, I happened to meet Mr. Shen Gui. The concubine first entered the palace, her hands and feet were clumsy, and she felt uneasy. Fortunately, Mr. Shen was there to remind her, so she did not lose her dignity in front of the Empress Dowager."

The emperor nodded frequently, "Shen Guiren has always been prudent, and you live close to each other, so you can learn from her on weekdays."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly bowed down and said that he didn't dare to take it, but she couldn't take back these words.Although the words of Mr. Xindaolian are exaggerated, it cannot be said to be malicious. After all, what happened today is all a coincidence. It must be unpredictable for a fifteen or sixteen year old girl who just entered the palace.

Of course, Yinhu did not rely on predictions, but on adapting to the situation. It's just that the skills he has cultivated in the court for decades are useless in the harem.Although he had to be a little more cautious in front of Empress Hua Concubine, but in front of the riches like Shen Meizhuang, there was still room for it.

Accompanied by the three nobles, the emperor walked around the imperial garden for half a circle, and sat in the Wanchun Pavilion for a long while like a moon filled with flowers. Finally, Zhen Huan couldn't hold back and said, "Is the emperor tired? The concubine palace is ready." Spring water tofu is the emperor's favorite."

As soon as Yinzhen heard it, he remembered the shy and joyful voice of Wan Gui that day, "Fourth brother." Even his old face was a little unbearable, he coughed lightly, and said seriously, "I'm going to Yikun today. Concubine Hua must have been waiting for me to eat in the palace, you should go back and rest."

Zhen Huan's smile froze slightly, but she quickly got up to send the emperor off.Yinzhen didn't care about the color on Zhen Huan's face at all, he just looked at Yinhu, and saw him smiling, as if nothing had happened, feeling slightly blocked, but still didn't stop much, and went all the way to Yikun Palace.

Of course Yinhu doesn't know how to eat, he calculated in his heart: Nian Gengyao will go to Beijing in a few days, the emperor will go to Yikun Palace to rest more out of emotion and reason, Zhen Huanruo will compete with Nian at this time , There must be suffering.

This day Yinhu had a fruitful harvest, seeing the emperor walking away, he bid farewell to the two nobles and went back to Chuxiu Palace to rest.

The author has something to say: the festival is more tiring than usual, with tears in my eyes...

But I still want to pay New Year's greetings. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous Year of the Goat. ! !
