Chapter 37 Xie Yu's Choice

Author: A native of Guanghan Palace

The state was not going well, and the emperor's mood was heavy and rarely appeared in the harem. Even if I occasionally saw him when I went to the Yining Palace to pay my respects, I would smile at the empress dowager. However, this was also the time when he saw him. On the contrary, the empress dowager, perhaps because of the harem of the previous dynasty, gradually suppressed that worry and appeared before everyone as usual, either checking Xue Po and me to recite the "Women's Commandments", or sitting idle listening to Concubine Mao report on the trivial matters in the harem, always being able and kind.

The mother said privately: "No wonder the late emperor relied on her even the major national affairs back then. This calmness is really the husband of the middle school girl." I also silently said in my heart that no matter how worried the daughter, who was threatened by her life status, faced with an immature and powerful emperor, she gritted her teeth and gave him the support in her heart. This is indeed worthy of the identity of the mother of the country.

Just when the inside is loose and the outside is tight, something extremely far-reaching happened in Zhengzhang's harem. Moreover, the fact that this matter has some connection with me is still related to me.

Compared to last year, the weather in September was very good, not too hot, nor even bone-broken frost. Although the palace is not like the lakes and mountains outside, it is better than the exquisiteness. The maple leaves are red and the gurgling waters of the rockery; the fragrance of osmanthus flowers flows through the Suzhou Top Carving Gallery. In addition, the autumn is clear and cool, even I have temporarily suppressed my thinking about the situation and began to decorate the one-acre and three-point land in the Ningshou Palace Garden.

When it comes to planting flowers and plants, I don’t have much experience, but Zhiyun Manxin, who loves camellia. Liuhong, who once served in the flower house, is quite in love with these planting skills. In addition, Sister Lingxi has improved a lot recently. She came to see me in her spare time and offered to help me take care of her. I was naturally happy, so I seconded Liuhong to Sister Lingxi for two hours every day to ask her to take care of the few camellias I just picked from the flower house.

But I don’t know what happened. I saw Liu Hong loosening the soil and fertilizing it every day. The soil watering amount was as directed by the gardener. However, the two "two Qiaos" grew in a normal manner. It was obvious that they did not mean to beat the dog in October. I was very disappointed. Liu Hong felt even more ashamed and said, “I am useless, but the princess should not be anxious. Yu Jin also loves camellia very much. I come to her to see it. Maybe she has a way.”

When I heard this, I remembered that I hadn't seen Xie Yu for a long time, so I said, "I really forgot if you don't say it. Yu Ji hasn't come to my Ningshou Palace for a long time. The court has not been peaceful recently, and Liusi has been idle. Why is there no one in the inner library?" As she said, she felt a little tired, so she handed the flower hoe to Ruxiu and rested in the pavilion and tasted tea.

Liuhong sighed, and came to me and said, "It's not surprising that Emperor Ji didn't know. Even the servants, who have recently been to play with her, rarely see Yu Niang. Speaking of which, she still asks His Highness for the blessing of taking charge of the palace maids in the imperial court. Usually, it's just a matter of the sixth department evaluation. The emperor's pen and Mo are served by the emperor. However, as soon as the war started, the emperor was sent to do something else, and my girl suddenly became busy and was placed by the emperor to serve the emperor. Although this was the accumulation of virtue of the ancestors, the imperial court was not careful. She had no experience, so she naturally had to work harder than others."

Since ancient times, there are few monarchs who are not afraid of their own troops. Since our court, there have been many emperors who have sent eunuchs to supervise their troops before going to war. Wu Changqing has mostly left the imperial guards for this matter. Naturally, it is impossible to explain this reason clearly. It is really a pain to have a few palace maids who took office temporarily. Seeing Liuhong's simple faces quite worried, I had to tease her and said, "You sister really don't feel sorry for others. Yu Ji is so busy, but she is still here to agree to her work."

Liuhong didn't hear my jokes and said straightforwardly: "I just don't like it, and I'm not afraid of the Emperor's Maid. The Imperial Palace Maids were originally four, and they were all the aunts in Guiyiyuan Palace, and Shuren Furui coordinated and arranged for the duty. If they were too busy, I wouldn't dare to complain. But others could take a break and go back to their places at night. I pity my sister, who is a solid person, and those personal geniuses pushed her to her. They were really busy day and night. That day, when the Emperor Longsheng wrote a memorial at night, she would have to disagree with her for two days and one night. Last time I saw her, she was dark and thin, and she couldn't say a few words and was called by others. I felt that it would be better to come to Emperor's place to see the flowers and plants to relax. But how could Emperor's Maid steal people from the emperor? Just think that I'm just talking stupid words to me."

Xiaoyun was younger and spoke more straightforwardly, saying, "Your cousin cares a lot, but why don't you think about it? When you were sent to plant flowers, why didn't you see her running around for you? I see, you are too honest."

I was about to make a statement to stop Xiaoyun, but for no reason, how could it be sowed the disagreement between the other sisters? But I didn't expect Liuhong, who had always been careless, to hear this, and was a little anxious at that time, and said, "Miss Xiaoyun, don't say such things. You don't know, Yu Ji didn't care about me. She hadn't entered the palace at that time. If I hadn't lived in the palace in such a difficult time, why would she have to make up for the gap and enter the Six Division?" As soon as she said that, she was stunned.

I was also frightened by her. Her blurted words reflected a lot of information to let me know. First of all, the people of the Xie family definitely did not want their daughter to enter the palace, because being a female history is certainly a way out for some families who hoped to leaps over the dragon gate, but it was not as good as the daughters of the aristocratic families. Just like the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng (the biological mother of the emperor) of the previous dynasty. However, compared with the daughters of ordinary gentry families, the chance of turning over became very small, and they could only waste their youth in the palace. Female history is different from ordinary palace maids. They cannot leave the palace until they are twenty-five years old. Ninety percent are afraid that they will die alone. Therefore, families who truly cherish their daughter always have to find ways to avoid the selection of female officials. The Xie family is no exception.

However, Liu Hong's derogation caused an accident. From their description, we can see that the two families had a very close relationship with their fathers and their eldest daughters. The Xie family also really cared about Liu Hong, but she was in her twenties. If she kept serving in the flower room for crimes, she would not leave the palace, and it would be nice not to be exhausted early. And ordinary female officials could speak in the Ministry of Internal Affairs after getting some qualifications, which was very beneficial to Liu Hong's arrangements. The Xie family weighed repeatedly and made such sacrifices, which was also the reason why the cousins ​​and sisters were more than their biological parents.
