Chapter 1159: Harem Woman's Struggle

I stepped on the snow and stepped into the yard step by step. The creaking sound seemed strange, even harsh, in the courtyard that was suddenly quiet.
When she saw me, there was a weird expression on Ligong's face, but she didn't move at once, and Yang Jinqiao on the side saw me too. She actually walked from beginning to end. When I saw me, I was not angry or angry, but just stood there calmly.
I slowly walked to the two of them, stood still, looked left and right, and then bowed down and saluted: "Meet the concubine, and congratulate Ning concubine."
Nangong Lizhu raised her hand somewhat stiffly.
Yang Jinqiao still did not speak.
On the contrary, I was very generous. After all, it was still "my place" for a while, so I looked up at them and said frankly: "The two damsels came here in a big drive, they were far away, and they hope to forgive them. I do n’t know What does the mother-in-law say? If there is a need, go lightly. "
Upon hearing this, Nangong Lizhu's face looked even uglier.
Rui Zhu, who was behind her, was the first to lose her breath and walked over and pointed at me and said, "Ms. Yan, is this your hospitality? Today, the concubine came over to visit Princess Miaoyan, but the person in your house is You know the number of rituals, and you do n’t even let the door in, and some people— "she said, looking sharply at Yang Jinqiao:" I do n’t know the number of rituals in this palace, and even Yue Yue can do it! "
"What are you talking about? Yue Yue?"
As soon as she said this, Yang Jinqiao stood tall behind her, and the maid with a straight face jumped out, saying, "Our maiden is here today to visit the little princess. We obviously came to the door first. Why should we let you. If you say Yue Yue, Ms. Yan came to talk to the two maidens, and the maids didn't speak. You yelled here. Who is Yue Yue? Who does n’t know the politeness ?! "
This time she grabbed the white, and immediately turned Rui Zhu's face white, pointing at her: "You, you--"
"You what you!"
"You are rude!"
"You're rude!"
They took the lead one by one, and suddenly the people on both sides started quarreling again.
In this way, I also understand what happened, but it is the two maidens who came to "visit" the coquettish princess, one after the other, but the latter is advanced, because the status of the concubine is different from other concubines, only After the queen and the imperial concubine, Pei Yuanzhang has not seized the imperial concubine. Nangong Lizhu is the head of the consorts. It is no wonder that as soon as Rui Zhu opened her mouth, she pinned a "Yue Yue" hat on Ning Fei. On the side, she knew it very well.
I looked at Yang Jinqiao, and she looked at me too. The people around her had already been in a quarrel, but she had a faint smile on her face, seeming to say-see what she said.
And looking back at Nangong Lizhu ...
To say this time, she really can tolerate it. On the day of promotion, Ning Fei came to confront her, and the people around Ning Fei were so noisy with her in front of her, but Yang Jinqiao always She didn't say anything, but it was actually her loss. However, she couldn't help Yang Jinqiao. Yang Jinqiao entered the palace with an extraordinary background. Pei Yuanzhang took over Yang's business but sealed Yang's daughter as a concubine. This is obviously a clear expression. Since Yang's family didn't fall into disfavor, she certainly didn't offend rashly. Second, Yang Jinqiao was probably not as important as she was for promotion and derogation. As a result, the two were embarrassed, and she was stabbed.
So she froze, and Yang Jinqiao was waiting for a good show. These people became more and more noisy.
I looked at the scene in disgust a little bit-for the intrigue of the women in this palace, and even the fights and fights, I've never been bored, and I don't want to participate, I can hide, but I can't hide it today, Especially in the room across the door, the wonderful words were still resting.
Just then, I heard a rush of footsteps coming from behind.
"The Queen is here! The Queen is here!"
When I heard this voice, it was the voice of the father-in-law. The eunuchs who were noisy on both sides were quiet. When I looked back, I saw the father-in-law rushing over. When he saw us, he was full of faces. Tired, sighed and waited sideways at the gate of the hospital.
Pei Yuanzhang and Chang Qing brought in.
The people in the yard hurried to worship and salute.
Pei Yuanzhang came to stand before us, looked at Nangong Lizhu, and then looked at Yang Jinqiao, frowning: "What's the matter, noisy here?"
When Nangong Lizhu saw them coming, his face suddenly became a little bit stiff, and now he hurried forward and smiled, "The emperor is not a big deal."
Pei Yuanzhang's face didn't look very good at first, but when she saw her, her face was slightly relieved. She turned around and saw Yang Jinqiao and I standing at the door, facing us again: "What's going on?"
I smiled: "The concubine is right, it's not a big deal, but they are saying that the daughters don't have hospitality, and they don't understand the court etiquette."
"Oh? What did you do?"
"The folk girls won't let them in."
As soon as this word came out, everyone around was quiet.
Everyone looked at me, for some reason. It seemed that my uncle was back at the original banquet. Everyone looked at me like that, and looked at me. Even, I seem to hear a few people snickering underneath them, afraid that they are waiting for me to suffer again.
But this time, my mood is much calmer.
Pei Yuanzhang's complexion was cloudy and he only looked at me: "Why don't you let them in?"
I said lightly: "Because the wonderful words didn't sleep well last night and are resting now, I don't want anyone to go in and disturb her."
As soon as the voice fell, Rui Zhu next to him said, "You're bullshit. You just came in from the outside. We have been standing at the door for a while, how do you know that Princess Miaoyan is still sleeping!"
I smiled slightly: "Mother and daughter are connected."
"..."
"Children may not know, but mothers have a heart on their children. What are the dangers and faults? Mothers will protect their children for the first time."
"..."
Nangong Lizhu's face twitched immediately.
"Girl Ruizhu probably doesn't understand this, if you have a chance in the future, you will understand."
After I said this, Rui Zhu's face was already red.
In the end, the girl who hasn't been out of the house, even after struggling in this palace for so many years, is incomparable with a woman who has been married to me in two words, and she was caught by a word, even the next Nangong Lizhu His face paled.
I glanced lightly at their master and servant.
After seeing what I said, Pei Yuanzhang probably understood it. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Zhuo has already said, Qing Qing has come to the palace to reunite with wonderful words in the past few days. If you have nothing to do, do n’t bother, why not listen? What about? "
Although the remarks were reproached, the tone was relatively mild, presumably because Nangong Lizhu was too pale, and he could not bear to sprinkle salt on her wound.
Nangong Lizhu was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Chen Ye, Chen Ye just met the little princess on that day, and he was very affectionate. Today, he has the joy of promotion, and he is in love with himself. concubine……"
In the end, she seemed unable to speak anymore and lowered her head gently.
I looked at the corners of her flushed eyes, and for a moment she was speechless.
If before, I heard her telling her to be a "mother" without knowing it, which made me angry, and even caused hatred. At this moment, what should have pleased my heart, but it was unexpectedly unbearable.
It was because I could look at her red eyes so close for the first time, or I could feel the trembling around her, so I could know that the unhealable injury was torn, bleeding, and stretched out year after year. Heartbreaking pain?
That day, the wonderful words called her "mother". Was she the first time she was called a mother?
That's why she couldn't let it go.
I was speechless for a while and stood there silently.
Pei Yuanzhang looked at her, and she seemed to have unexplainable pain.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke, but it was Chang Qing who was silent all the time. She stepped forward and said, "The concubine is in a difficult situation today, just let it go, but the emperor's mouth can't be disrespectful. Besides, wonderful It is true that the princess is ill, and so many people are clamoring at the door, and it is really out of shape. If you are shocked by the princess and aggravate the illness, it would not be our sin. "
After listening, Pei Yuanzhang looked up at the closed door, then looked back at Nangong Lizhu, and looked at Yang Jinqiao, who had already walked quietly and walked quietly, and said quietly: "The queen is right, you have to be obedient."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Then it's all gone, don't disturb the princess here."
Speaking, Chang Qing nodded to Yang Jinqiao, Yang Jinqiao walked behind and followed her first, and then she looked at Pei Yuanzhang, and Pei Yuanzhang was silent for a while and said, "Queen, you Go back first, look at the little princess before leaving. "
"Yes. The court resigned."
Chang Qing took the two concubines to salute him, and then turned around and walked out. Before Nangong Lizhu left, she looked back reluctantly. In the white snow and ice around her, her pale face almost blended with the snow scene. As a whole, only the slightly reddish circles under her eyes make her look particularly frustrated and aggrieved.
I stood in the snow and watched them go silently.
At this time, Pei Yuanzhang came to me.
My heart was already sinking a bit, and now I raised it again, I looked up at him, and my fingers retracted into the sleeve slightly coldly.
He looked at me silently, his eyes were deep and black, like a bottomless deep pool, exuding indescribable chill and deep meaning.
I was calm and looked at him.
After a while, he said, "Where have you been?"
