Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 37

(1)

Su Moer went to Guanju Palace, Linzhi Palace and Yanqing Palace on the grounds that Concubine Zhuang gave the three concubines exquisite headdresses.

Pearl of the Guanju Palace curled her lips when she knew what she was here for, and said disdainfully: "My mother's tiaras are so many that I can't use them all up, and they are all rewarded by the emperor. I think you should leave them for your mother's use!"

Su Mo'er suppressed her anger, and said with a smile: "This is a wish from my mother, and the concubine Wanwang Chen will accept it."

Mingzhu wanted to say something, but she heard the soft voice of Concubine Chen from the back room: "Since you have brought it, please accept it, take out what I don't need in this palace, and ask her to bring some to her mother, anyway, put it here It’s also left alone, I don’t even need it. Even though it’s not used, it’s still more precious than hers.”

Su Mo'er was so angry that her hands trembled, but she held back and said inside, "Thank you, Concubine Chen."

"You wait." Mingzhu took the tiara from Su Mo'er, turned around and went in, and when she came out, she already had several tiaras in her hand.

"Give it to your mother." Mingzhu stuffed those headdresses into her hand, turned her head and was about to go in.

Su Mo'er smiled apologetically and said, "Concubine Chen's bedroom is really fragrant, it must be the sachet given by Concubine Shu!"

Mingzhu turned around and glared at her.

"The sachet given by Concubine Shu has long since lost its fragrance. This is the fragrance of peach blossoms, and you can't even smell the fragrance of peach blossoms?"

"Oh, Sister Mingzhu, I don't know how long the sachet given by Concubine Shu will last? My mother likes the fragrance very much, and she is thinking how to make the fragrance last longer."

"Then let your mistress ask empress Shu again! Empress Shu is smart, she only gives it to pregnant concubines, and she is not willing to give it to those who are not pregnant. Your mistress is pregnant now, she will definitely be willing It’s a gift.” Mingzhu sneered, paused and said, “But my mother doesn’t care if she gives it to me.”

Su Mo'er pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why does Concubine Shu only give it to pregnant concubines?"

"You don't know this? You're really stupid. No wonder your mother is not favored by the emperor! In the harem, who wouldn't want to curry favor with a pregnant concubine? Just like my mother who gave birth to a little prince, who wouldn't want to curry favor? After Mingzhu finished speaking, she looked at Su Mo'er and said, "But your concubine Zhuang is an exception. Concubine Chen has given birth to the little prince for so long, and your concubine has only come here twice."

Su Mo'er was about to defend herself, but she heard the concubine Chen inside say: "Mingzhu, what are you talking about there? Come in quickly, find a cloak for me, let's go and see the little prince!"

Mingzhu agreed, and smiled proudly at Su Mo'er: "I'm going to accompany our mother to see the little prince. I won't send it off. By the way, my little prince is really smart and cute. Your Majesty, I like it very much."

After Mingzhu finished speaking, she proudly raised her head at Su Mo'er, and trotted in.

Su Mo'er sighed softly, and slowly exited Guanju Palace.She thought, if Bumbutai's redness last night was caused by the sachet, did Concubine Chen ever see red when she was pregnant with the little prince?

Su Mo'er was not in a hurry to leave Guanju Palace.She looked around and saw a little maid sitting under the sun with a needle and thread embroidering something, so she walked over.

"The embroidery is good." Su Mo'er said.

The little maid looked up and saw that it was Su Mo'er, and said quickly, "It's sister Su Mo'er, I can't embroider well, sister Mingzhu and you are the ones who embroider beautifully!"

"Have you seen my embroidery?" Su Mo'er asked.

The little maid nodded.

"During the emperor's grand ceremony, you embroidered the clothes of the emperor, queen and concubines." The little maid said with an envious expression on her face.

Su Mo'er smiled, took the embroidery needle and the waistcoat from the little maid's hand and said, "It's better to use the needle this way."

As she said that, she started to help the little maid embroider, and Bian Xiu told the little maid what to pay attention to when she embroidered.The little maid chatted happily around her, very affectionate, and asked Concubine Zhuang if she was about to give birth.Su Mo'er felt that the time had come, so she sighed and said, "Oh! This lady is pregnant. We servants are all concerned, and we can't relax until the child is born!"

The little maid nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, when my imperial concubine Chen was not born, we were too. We didn't dare to sleep all night. We just served him so carefully, and the empress became popular." The voice of the little maid became quieter.

"Oh? Seeing red, that's really scary!" Su Mo'er said pretending to be scared.

"No, it scared us to death, and we have seen Hong several times." The little maid said in Su Mo'er's ear.

"What happened in the end?" Su Mo'er asked again.

"The old imperial doctor asked Concubine Chen to change the room." After the little maid finished speaking, she looked around again: "It's really weird, I haven't seen Hong since I changed the room, and we didn't change the room until the little prince was born. One breath." There was still some lingering fear in the little maid's words.

"Oh, by the way, I heard from Mingzhu that Concubine Shu specially gave sachets to pregnant concubines, and she also gave it to Concubine Chen. Have you heard of it?" Su Mo'er said, pretending to be envious.

"I've smelled it. Concubine Chen likes it very much. I put it in the room. The whole room is fragrant, and I can smell it even outside the door." The little palace maid said.

"I went to Concubine Chen's place just now, but I didn't smell that fragrance." Su Mo'er sighed deliberately, as if she was very sorry.

"It's long gone! Besides, the room where the sachet is placed is not the room where the empress lives. The original room seems to be stained with unclean things. The empress is always getting popular and her health is getting worse, so I moved to the current room. The room is occupied." The little maid said.

"What about the sachet?"

"Let's not talk about the sachet. I didn't take anything from the room. I was afraid it would be unlucky. The emperor rewarded me with a lot of things in the end. Now everything in the empress's room is new." The little maid said tut-tsk.

Su Mo'er knew it well, and on the grounds that she was busy with other things, she handed over the waistcoat and embroidery needles to the little maid, and left in a hurry.

After Su Moer came out of Guanju Palace, she went to Linzhi Palace again. The wooden clock in Linzhi Palace was extremely indifferent to the headgear Su Moer sent.

"Headdresses, I have a lot of them. Yan'er, let's go on." She said coldly to her personal maid.

Yan'er took the tiara and smiled at Su Mo'er.

Yan'er was not the maid brought by that wooden clock, nor was she very close to that wooden clock. Su Mo'er saw her smiling at herself, so she decided to ask her something.

After coming out of the wooden clock's room, Su Mo'er didn't go far, she wanted to wait for Yan'er to come out.After about ten minutes, Yan'er came out of the wooden clock's room. Su Mo'er pretended to go the wrong way, and met Yan'er head-on.

"You..." Yan'er didn't expect that Su Mo'er was still in Linzhi Palace after more than ten minutes, and she was a little surprised.

"I went the wrong way and went over there." Su Mo'er pointed to the opposite direction from the door and said.

"Oh, that's it, you go that way, turn around and you will see the gate." Yan'er showed Su Mo'er the way.

"Thank you!" After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she sighed and said, "Oh, this delay, and I missed going to Yanqing Palace again, the empress will definitely scold me."

Yan'er looked at her sympathetically.

"Then I'll take you there, lest you go the wrong way again." Yan'er said, leading Su Mo'er.

"Thank you! Your name is Yan'er, you are so kind." Su Mo'er said sincerely.In the harem, it is rare to meet such a pure and kind girl.

Yan'er nodded, smiled at her, and said nothing.

"I'm going to Yanqing Palace, and I want to help my mother ask for a sachet from the imperial concubine. I don't know if I can ask for it." Su Mo'er said again.

"Oh? Sachet? Your mother likes it too? The sachet made by Concubine Shu is very beautiful and smells good. My mother likes it too!" Yan'er said.

"Did the imperial concubine give your mother a sachet?" Su Mo'er asked.

Yan'er nodded.

"I gave two to my mother-in-law!"

"Oh? When did you give them all?" Su Mo'er asked nervously.

Yan'er thought for a while: "One is... three years ago, I forgot when, but I remember that my mother was still pregnant at that time! The other time was last year, yes, it seems to be last year." After Yan'er finished speaking, Suddenly he said: "In June last year, my mother was also pregnant with the little prince."

After Yan'er finished speaking, her face sank, and she whispered: "But my little prince was... gone in less than three months."

"Your mother must be very sad." Su Mo'er said.

"I'm so sad, the little prince is so cute." After Yan'er finished speaking, she looked at Su Mo'er and said, "Your mother is about to give birth to a little prince, right?"

Su Mo'er nodded: "But I don't know if it's Princess or the little prince."

"If you want to talk about the little prince, you can't talk about Gege." Yan'er said mysteriously.

"Oh? Why?" Su Mo'er was a little puzzled.

"This is what my mother said. My mother said that you should always talk about the little prince and the little prince in your heart, and you must be sincere, so that you can definitely give birth to the little prince. You can't always think about Ge Ge, Ge Ge." Yan'er said seriously.

Su Mo'er giggled.

"Really, my mother didn't always think about the little prince when she was pregnant, so she gave birth to Princess. After that, she kept thinking about the little prince, and finally gave birth to a little prince. If my little prince didn't come soon..." Yan Yan Glancing at Su Mo'er, she lowered her voice, "Maybe she is as favored as Concubine Chen."

Su Mo'er nodded.

The two of them walked and chatted slowly, until they reached the door.After saying goodbye to Yan'er, Su Mo'er did not go back to Yongfu Palace directly, but went to the old doctor.But when she asked the old doctor whether Bumbutai's redness was related to the sachet, the old doctor was silent for a while, then shook his head again.

"No? That's strange, how could it be such a coincidence?" Su Mo'er told all about the miscarriage of Concubine Chen and Concubine Muzhong.

"I heard that they were all carrying the sachets given by the concubine Batma Shushu. How could it be such a coincidence?" Su Mo'er said.

"Oh," the old doctor sighed, and said slowly: "It is easy to have accidents during pregnancy, and you are sensitive to everything, so this is all a coincidence, a coincidence. You take care of your mother so carefully, and your mother will give birth safely. the next child."

Su Mo'er didn't ask any more questions.She knew that in the harem, many things could not be said, not to mention, because the envoy of the imperial hospital was the uncle of Concubine Batma Shushu, it was impossible for the old imperial physician not to shy away from it.

After Su Mo'er returned from the Tai Hospital, she told Bumbutai what she knew.

"Really?" Bumbutai was shocked.

Su Mo'er nodded.

"I don't know if this sachet is related to the fact that you, concubine Chen and the imperial concubine's popularity are related to this sachet, but the same thing is that when you get the sachet, you are both pregnant and have become popular. For your safety, throw away that sachet." Su Moer said.

"Throw it away quickly, throw it away quickly!" Bumbutai's forehead was sweating.

"Do you want to tell the emperor and others..."

Before Su Mo'er finished speaking, she saw Bumbutai waving her hands non-stop and said repeatedly, "No, no!"

Su Mo'er wanted to ask why "no need", but she didn't ask in the end.For so many years, she has developed a habit, she will not ask if Bumbutai doesn't say anything.

Su Mo'er took the sachet wrapped several times and buried it under a tree very deep.After Su Mo'er went back, Bumbutai said anxiously again that she wanted to take a bath and change clothes.It wasn't until she felt that the scent was gone that she felt relieved and asked Su Mo'er to accompany her to the garden.

Sitting in the garden, watching all kinds of flowers bloom one by one, Bumbutai suddenly sighed.

"Our Horqin Grassland is much more beautiful than here."

Su Mo'er also sighed lightly.She knows that Bumbutai refers not only to the beauty of the Horqin Grassland environment, but also to the simplicity and innocence of the people on the Horqin Grassland.If that sachet was really the chief culprit for causing several concubines to become popular or have miscarriages, then Concubine Batma Shushu is too terrible.

"Do you know why I don't want to tell the emperor about this?" Bumbutai said suddenly.

Su Mo'er knew what she was referring to and looked at her.

"Since you asked the old doctor, and the old doctor said no, would the emperor believe us? Not only would he not believe it, but he might even say that we were disturbing the harem, and it was very likely that Batma 璪 would attack us. Now In the harem, you know my situation, there is no guarantee that the emperor and empress will trust us. In the harem, all we can do is to protect ourselves, just like the old doctors, just guard against, don’t tell!"

Su Mo'er also felt the same, but felt very uncomfortable.

Bumbutai glanced at her, and continued: "Besides, Batma 璪's uncle is the envoy of the hospital, and he is in charge of the Taiyuan Hospital. The sachet made by his niece can allow ordinary people to find evidence? Maybe it is this The reason, that's why the old doctor said no."

Bumbutai sneered and looked straight ahead.

"All we can do is protect ourselves and the fetus in my stomach, and pray that I will be pregnant with a little prince."

Su Mo'er nodded.

"Your Majesty must take care of your health. Your Majesty will not be able to use anything given by anyone in the harem."

"Yes, I will not use anything from anyone in the future. I will definitely not use it. Even if it is sent by the concubine Chen or the empress, I can't use it. We can only trust ourselves, and no one else." Bumbutai smiled wryly. one time.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the sky, which was still blue just now, was suddenly covered by a cloud of dark clouds, and the sky became overcast.

"Ma'am, it's going to rain, let's go back!" Su Mo'er said.

Bumbutai stood up, and with Su Moer's support, he walked slowly towards Yongfu Palace.

"Do you need to remind Concubine Chen?" Su Moer suddenly asked again.

Bumbutai turned to look at Su Mo'er, and said for a while: "In the past, I would definitely tell her, and tell her as soon as possible. However, I won't now! Now in the harem, I and her They are no longer sisters, but... enemies."

When Bumbutai said the word "enemy", he used a lot of strength.

Su Mo'er suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

Neither of them spoke any more, and walked slowly back to Yongfu Palace.Bumbutai sat down and just picked up the tea that Jiuer had poured when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

Bumbutai felt flustered for a while, and now she panicked when she heard the hurried footsteps.She pressed her chest.

"Ma'am, what's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?" Su Mo'er asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, I just feel a little flustered." Bumbutai said.

At this moment, Wang Momo jumped in and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something has happened, something has happened!"

"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?" Bumbutai took a sip of water, trying to calm down.

"I heard that the Eighth Prince has a heart attack." Nanny Wang said.

"Heart disease? Does the Eighth Prince have a heart attack?" Bumbutai's heart beat even harder.

"I heard that there are, but I didn't expect it to be so serious." Wang Momo said.

Bumbutai stroked his chest again.

"Quick, help me to bed!" she said.

For some reason, she felt a strange feeling in her heart, even a little excited.

"Let me go out and have a look." Su Mo'er said.She seemed to read something from Bumbutai's flashing complicated expression.

Bumbutai nodded.Su Mo'er told Jiu'er and Nanny Wang a few words before leaving Yongfu Palace.

Along the way, she saw maids and court ladies in a hurry, and when she was approaching Guanju Palace, she also saw the emperor's guards.When she continued to walk forward and was about to find someone to ask, she suddenly heard a heart-piercing cry from Guanju Palace...
