Chapter 11:

Although Huiming is a newcomer who has just arrived in the Palace of Gande, but the two immediate superiors of the imperial chief female officer, she has naturally seen both, only because Mother Xu is getting older and she is like a pensioner all day long. His style seldom shows up, and never intervenes in matters large and small in the Palace of Gande, only aunt Wei can do it arbitrarily. In addition, Aunt Wei's position of "noble" was promised by His Majesty himself, and Hui Ming was not like other people, and she thought that Mother Xu was inferior to Aunt Wei's status, so she deliberately avoided her edge.
But until the first day when Madam Xu took office, Huiming and all the imperial magistrates knew clearly—the truth was definitely not the case.
I didn’t mention it, but my Majesty saw Madam Xu early, and after being surprised, he said: "Why do you want to do these errands?"
Mother Xu respectfully blessed the body, but she didn't take care of her. She just stood aside and replied: "Your Majesty has recovered from a serious illness, and the servants are not at ease. I want to come and wait for a few more days. Take a look."
His Majesty shook his head, then slowly said: "You are also of an age, so be careful."
His Majesty's expression is serious, but his casual and familiar attitude seems to be to an old friend who has known him for many years, which is shocking.
But Mother Xu didn't stop, looking at the clothes presented by the court lady Siyi, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is recovering from a serious illness, why is he still so pure? Or should I change to some festive colors? Keep your spirits up."
"Alright." His Majesty didn't care about the exhortation that was almost preaching, and he just responded as necessary. The bitter words of Yugan on the side heard the words, but did not retreat for the first time, but cast his eyes on Aunt Wei who was on the ground with undetectable eyes.
Your Majesty's daily clothes and accessories are all set by Aunt Wei personally. Now Mother Xu has changed her words with just one word. Naturally, it was Aunt Wei's face.
Wei Shi just continued to change the cotton boots for His Majesty. Then he raised his head and said softly: "Then it is good to put on the Zhu Jin robe made for your Majesty? It is also comfortable to wear."
It's a pity that after saying these few words, Your Majesty is also tired, but he just nodded as if there is something or not, and the extent is so that people can't be very sure whether it is really nodded.
If it were placed before, this attitude would be nothing, but with the casual familiarity of Mother Xu, in comparison, it was actually abruptly relying on Wei's connivance and reliance in the past, seeming to be careless about things.
Aunt Wei's complexion turned pale, but she still maintained her usual gentleness and suppleness. Sisters Yugan did not dare to wait any longer when she saw it. She quickly stepped back and re-presented the dragon robe that Wei had raised with her hands and feet. , Aunt Wei personally took care of the change.
Your Majesty has been accustomed to Aunt Wei's service over the years. This kind of personal service has never been done to others. It has never been such a situation that all the imperial court ladies are envious and respectful, but today there is Mother Xu, although only quietly Standing on the sidelines watching, but inexplicably there is a posture of a housekeeper patrolling the maidservant, and his identity is higher than that of Aunt Wei.
After your Majesty changed his clothes, Mother Xu didn't stay any more, she took Huiming and turned back.
But after this incident, everyone saw it, and naturally understood that Mother Xu’s status and qualifications were higher than that of Aunt Wei. Although Huiming used to bear the reputation of Su Gonggong on his head, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. After all, the superior of the imperial ladies was an aunt Wei.
This would cause Mother Xu to appear suddenly like this, and it became a two-State quarrel. Before the situation was unknown, when everyone confronted Huiming, who is a close friend of Mother Xu, they were naturally very polite, and would never be because of Aunt Wei’s gesture. And easily squeezed out offend.
Huiming was grateful and admired, and when he was free, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "How long has the mother been on duty by your majesty?"
Mother Xu, who was holding a tea cup, squinted her eyes and thought for a while: "I was sent to serve her Majesty from the Empress Dowager’s palace. Later, when I left the palace to marry someone, I became a widow. I was bullied by the tribe outside and I simply asked for grace. Go back to the palace and add it to one place. It's been more than forty years."
Hui Ming was shocked secretly by this number. His Majesty was only more than 50 years old, more than 40 years old. Wouldn't it be that Mother Xu has been by her side since she was sensible? It’s also sad to leave the palace and come back again. Your Majesty still remembers that after returning to the palace, he still became the magistrate in charge of the imperial court. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is a servant and a sister. It’s no wonder that this is what happened in the early morning. So close.
After Mother Xu said, she just sat quietly and watched Huiming's replacement of her majesty's finger bead string. The hair crown and jade pendant were cleaned one by one, and they were put back into the gilt box one by one according to the position. Nothing was wrong, so he nodded: "Although you are new here, your errands are not bad."
Thinking of the previous life, I was worried about Grandpa Su's "unscrupulous plot." Most of the errands were done by Qiuya. Huiming couldn't help blushing at Mother Xu's praise, and couldn't help but shook his head and humbled a few words.
Mother Xu saw that she was sincere and humble, but she was more satisfied: "You are not arrogant or rash, you are a temperament before, but you are barely worthy of Su Jin."
Grandpa Su, his full name is Su Jin. Hearing what Mother Xu said to Grandpa Su, and thinking of yesterday’s doubts, Huiming couldn’t help asking:
How can Grandma Xu know Grandpa Su so well? I heard that he seems to be..."
"Born from an official slave." Mother Xu said coldly the four words Huiming was still hesitating in her mouth. Seeing Huiming's default, after a while, she looked at the dead branches outside the window and reopened her mouth: "Yes. , The official slave was born. It was an official slave or an official body in the past. It’s just that the Su family was originally not an ordinary official body. It was the Guogong Mansion in Jingzhong Town. Su Gonggong was originally the grandson of the elder of the Guogong Mansion. I brought them into the palace and kowtowed to your Majesty. I was waiting by the side at the time, so I can count as a few times."
Hui Ming's glasses widened in shock. She had never known that Grandpa Su had such a source after being in the palace for so long: "Then what..."
Speaking of this, Mother Xu’s voice also sank: "When Grandpa Su was nine years old, the town government’s mansion was convicted, and the whole family was ransacked. Those who are only under ten years old, women enter the teaching workshop, and men enter the inner palace. It happened to be outside the palace for a while, and only after waiting for him to return to the palace did I know that in the end of the boy who entered the palace from the Su family, only one of the boys survived, and with him alone, he has come to this day."
With just such a short remark, Huiming's heart was filled with stones, heavy, but unable to reach the bottom.
The former chief executive, she originally thought that this was an extraordinary status. At a young age, Su Gonggong was able to climb to the top of the sixth-grade internal officials, and he was highly trusted by His Majesty. This is already extraordinary, more than this. The palace people in the palace are stronger than I don't know how much, so it should be proud to be respected and envied by the palace people.
But who knows, Su Gonggong, he was supposed to be the eldest grandson of the Guogong Mansion. At this age, he might have been a civil servant, an official or an official, or marrying a wife and having children. He should have been more expansive and more beautiful. His Majesty’s life and future, his majesty puts great trust in him, and he shouldn’t be a court chief or an eunuch, but should be a real imperial court, the pillar of the country.
It’s not surprising that Su Gonggong’s pure and juicy aura, the sage-like vibe, is what he should have since he was born, from the roots of his childhood, but... he later entered In the inner palace, he fell into the most sordid dust from the grandchildren in the splendid pile, and asked people to press their spine on the ground. After climbing up inch by inch, he never got rid of the foundation. Always different from the others in the palace.
How many crimes and beatings does the maid who just entered the palace have to suffer in order to become a well-mannered slave in the eyes of the master? Hui Ming, who is also a court lady, knows this more clearly. She is also a good citizen who has been selected seriously, how about Grandpa Su? Entering the palace as an official slave is born to be the lowest in the palace, not to mention what kind of situation it will encounter.
In this way, as the father-in-law Su called Yuan Bao in her previous life, she said that when she first entered the palace, how many bonds did she have with the father-in-law when he was before the imperial court? But what is it? Why does she have no impression?
"How... did you get guilty?" Hui Ming's voice was a bit difficult.
"It's the past, who will talk about it again..." Mother Xu lowered her eyes slightly, apparently she didn't intend to go into details: "I see you are very good, but there is nothing I want to teach. If you want to come from now on, the Wei family will also I dare not trouble you anymore, if something happens, just come and find me."
Huiming heard that, Fushen sent Mother Xu away, only to recall what she had said before, but she was uneasy for a long time. The stone in her heart was not light, but it became heavier and heavier, but she was in pain.
After fidgeting for a long while, but it was a long time to let go, Hui Mingli gritted his teeth on the spot, after all, he turned around and went out, and went straight to the main hall where Father Su was at the moment.
