A visit to Fangchun

Aunt Xue was embarrassed by what she said.

Seeing that both mother and daughter were blushing, Madam Fu sighed and shook her head, and said, "Forget it, the old slave should talk to his wife first, and the eldest girl should go back first. The sun is very poisonous when you go back, be careful of sunburn, don't worry." If you want to go out, just do your sewing in your room."

Xue Baochai was not annoyed, she stood up blushing and agreed, and walked away quietly and slowly.

Nanny Fu looked at her back, with the corners of her mouth turned up, she turned her head and smiled to Aunt Xue and said, "Young lady has good manners. This kind of skill of nourishing one's spirit is rare in the palace."

Aunt Xue was delighted again by what she said, and hurriedly inquired about the Queen's intentions: "What Mammy said just now, is the Queen interested in my son?"

Nanny Fu avoided talking about it, and instead asked Aunt Xue: "Does the wife have any arrangements for the girl? If the wife has arrangements, it is natural to do her best for her parents first, and the empress is not such an unreasonable person."

One sentence made Aunt Xue recite Buddha's name together, and said with a smile: "If you talk about it, my son was a little sick when he was young. A wandering monk gave a prescription to cure the disease, and left two sentences for him to be embedded in the gold. On the vessel, let those who have jade in the future be the first-class marriage."

Aunt Xue paused for a moment, looked at Madam Fu but remained calm, and could only continue: "The Ministry issued a sign to let our girls come to be elected, and we went to Beijing. But when we came, we suffered from old illnesses first, so we had to Temporarily staying at a relative's house, still taking old medicine for conditioning. Now that there is no news from the Ministry, I have other ideas, and I don't dare to mess with the royal rules, so I have to wait for the order."

Only then did Madam Fu smile and nod: "That's exactly what I said. The Queen Mother went to see the Empress Dowager, and learned about the eldest girl of your mansion from her old man. She said that it was Princess Yi who appointed two side concubines for the son. Everyone was not very happy about it. Princess Yi was ashamed enough and ran to complain to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother married her in a rage, and said, no matter what, she is also a descendant of the royal family, and it is their turn to despise her. Asked who else, Princess Yi took the opportunity to mention the eldest lady of your mansion. After hearing the reason for the eldest lady's refusal, the queen mother praised her endlessly, saying that this is the eldest lady's courtesy. Is it just to enter the prince? Mansion, you can’t even forget the rules?”

Aunt Xue heard Xue Baochai briefly talk about the events of that day, and she was worried at the time, but now she heard it, it turned out to be beneficial, and she narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Back then, our girl was taught by the old lady of the Xue family. My father taught me how to behave. The etiquette of poetry and writing, so now it is more stable than me. The empress dowager praised it absurdly."

Mother Fu was still smiling, but her eyes were like knives: "It is only those who obey the rules can be recognized by the empress dowager and the empress. For example, the noble concubine of the Jia family is not very fond of her. I like it, that's why."

Aunt Xue felt her heart beating suddenly, and subconsciously stood up!

Mother Fu ignored her reaction, and said in a low voice: "Ms. Jia entered the palace to be a female historian. If she really abides by the rules, she will not be able to be your master. Now that she has won His Majesty's favor, if she really abides by the rules, she will be treated step by step according to her rank. Going up, until today, she is only a concubine at the top of the sky. But she has become a noble concubine in one breath from the position of nobleman. Does Madam know the reason for this?"

Aunt Xue stammered: "Emperor, the secrets of the royal family, women dare not pry into them!"

Nanny Fu looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Ma'am, that's right. This is the rule."

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and then she felt her legs go limp, and she sat down on the couch again.

Nanny Fu lowered her eyebrows to look at the pattern of her skirt, and said softly: "But the concubine Jia's unruly behavior has already been used from the palace to the outside. This garden is the other courtyard where the royal family resides. She issued an edict It's fine to let someone come in to live in. But I called another man to come in and live in too. Do the girls in this garden still want to be famous?"

Aunt Xue only felt that her heart was flying high and falling heavily, she was already very uncomfortable, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the skirt of her front chest.

Mother Fu looked at her with a smile: "So, if the eldest girl still wants to be selected into the palace, she must move out of it immediately. But since I know about this, the Empress Dowager will also know about it. On the way into the palace, she has already been blocked by Lady Jia."

Aunt Xue's face suddenly turned pale.

At this time, Madam Fu shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not that she was blocked by Mrs. Jia. Since the young lady of your mansion has that old disease that often recurs, she may not be able to pass the test in the hospital. If you say It’s okay to accompany the princess and princess, but I’m afraid I’ll never think about anything else.”

Aunt Xue had just breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and she couldn't help but insisted: "Isn't that what we chose in the first place? We never thought of anything else."

Madam Fu laughed through her nose, and her voice became a little softer and more friendly: "If you don't enter the palace, then the old slave has to ask his wife, but is there anything good to think about for the eldest girl? Other than Regarding the matter of entering the palace, the empress has ordered me to help the girl as much as possible, and when I can't move anymore, please ask the girl to help me with the funeral."

Having said that, I can't understand anymore.

The Queen's sole purpose in bestowing Mother Fu to Baochai was to threaten Xue's family and not allow Baochai to enter the palace!In addition, Madam Fu is a servant who was given to Baochai for her encouragement and support until her death.

Aunt Xue let out a long breath and sighed: "That place is both the most noble and the most difficult place in the world. If my son doesn't want to go, it's a matter of my mind. As for the rest, she has Jiji, I have to find a husband's house for her."

At this time, Mother Fu sincerely made plans for Xue Baochai: "From the top to the bottom, now she is the right age for the eldest girl, and there is no stake in it. It is really not too much." Pause, then gently He paused, "If there were no words from the Empress Dowager at that time, it must be better now."

Aunt Xue was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Nanny Fu sighed: "My wife doesn't know. At the beginning of the month, wasn't it because of the Queen Mother's decree that all the girls in Niu and Chen's second mansions were married? Who knows that after only ten days, the concubine Shizi closed her eyes." Princess Yi wiped her tears and said that she saw that someone was able to take care of the crown prince, so she went with peace of mind. As a result, within three days, the two girls fought over who would be righted to become the crown prince. The queen mother heard , was so angry that he beat the bed endlessly. He said that he must choose another powerful girl to be the concubine, otherwise, if he inherits the title in the future, Prince Yi's mansion will not be disturbed by these two scourges!"
