Chapter 1 The Su Family Sisters

Su Jingzhi entered the house, only to see that the maid Hong Ling was still busy packing her bags, all the clothes in the box were dug out and spread out on the bed, and a piece of pearl hairpin jewelry was put in a small brocade box for fear of being crushed, and it was placed on the floor Several pairs of embroidered shoes.But the master didn't care about it, leaning against the window, looking up at the bright moon that was about to set in the west, concentrating, with a book rolled up in his hand.

"Why haven't you finished packing?"

"Originally everything was tidied up. The eunuch who was in charge said that only the empress could wear bright yellow. I knew about Dai Fengchai, so I picked them all out. But the red wedding dress, I thought if it was possible..."

"Absurd, the only one who is being married by the matchmaker in the palace is the queen. The other concubines can only be canonized every year and festivals. They wear palace clothes and hold utensils. Red tape has its own rules. How can we use the wedding dresses of the people here as the number. It must be a joke. Go, if you don't make it right, you will be punished for the crime of contempt for the palace rules and disobedience, and our third lady will be dragged out to be trampled by eunuchs and wives?"

Scared by what she said, Hong Ling hurriedly picked out the red wedding dress inside and threw it back into the box, "I've been embroidering for a whole month!"

Su Jingzhi turned around: "You don't seem to care about this at all. You were the one who agreed to enter the palace at the beginning. Have you regretted it now?"

The book in Su Mingyue's hand was taken away, she smiled faintly, "Our sister is pregnant with a dragon seed in the palace, this is a great happy event, she hastily recruited another group of young women into the palace, isn't it I am afraid that the emperor will be snatched away by other concubines when she is pregnant with Liujia. You know, she and I have never been on good terms, no, she has always looked down on me, and she originally wanted you to enter the palace. "

Su Jingzhi raised her eyebrows, and said: "You know that entering the palace and helping her win the favor is really not my strong point."

Su Mingyue laughed angrily: "So, it's my strength?"

Su Jingzhi choked with anger, "I'm so stupid, I need her to remind me, and it's okay, I'm afraid that I'm not doing enough to accomplish anything, and I'm really going to piss her off."

Su Mingyue recalled her elder sister's almond-eyed and furious look on weekdays, and couldn't help laughing, "How stupid are you, you...I know you haven't given up yet, you are against that Gu..."

Su Jingzhi quickly covered her mouth, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Hong Ling laughed, "Second Miss, who in this house doesn't know what you mean?"

Su Jingzhi blushed, "Okay, okay, how can you blame me? My sister is beautiful and well-educated. It's not a problem to be a noble concubine in the future. Don't forget to give my sister some glory and wealth."

Su Mingyue ignored her teasing, and sat upright in front of the pear tree desk under the window, "Prosperity and wealth are fleeting, I just hope that my sisters are in good health and everything goes well. She needs me right now, and I will do my best to help her. He Today, after our elder sister gets Longlin, can she still emulate Ehuang Nvying?"

Su Jingzhi sat down on the other side of the Lihuamu case, and sighed, "I'm not afraid that she will make things difficult for you, but I'm afraid that you will end up offending her if you divide your favor..."

Su Mingyue lowered her head, "The things that are rumored in the mansion are true?"

Su Jingzhi still had a look of horror on her face, "I didn't see it. I was only three or two years old at the time, and I didn't remember anything, but she said she saw it with her own eyes."

"Sister, do you really have no fear or concern for me?" Su Mingyue's voice choked up, "I know there is Jingxian, she hates me."

Su Jingzhi turned her head to look, her sister's eyes were full of tears, she felt pity for her.She and Su Jingxian are concubine daughters, and Su Mingyue is a concubine, but she can't get along with the eldest daughter, and she and this concubine sister are kindred spirits, but on the day my sister left the house and entered the palace, I told her a terrible story This story weighed heavily on her heart and she could barely breathe. Every time she passed the corridor in the east wing, she would look around carefully, for fear that something terrible would come out, grab her by the ankle, and drag her to the hell where she would never be restored. .After that, she and Su Mingyue had little contact for a while. After all, the eldest sister entered the palace and became the emperor's favorite concubine, and she had never seen each other since then. Even the visiting relatives had to give birth to dragon heirs, and only being favored by the emperor was eligible.Gradually, the two sisters came and went and talked again, until they got to know each other, they were both young girls in their twenties, the age of girls Huaichun, they looked up and down in the mansion, there was no reason not to talk to each other.

"Do you know why she hates you?" Su Jingzhi asked.

Su Mingyue nodded: "I heard people say that my mother is a vixen, and our father made a lot of ridiculous things because of her, and in the end he pissed off Ming Mei's current wife."

Su Jingzhi spit: "If you want to blame, let her blame our father! He is the one who has become a heartless person, how can you blame your mother for being a fox?"

Su Mingyue gently wiped away her tears, "My mother's fate is poor, so it's repayment?"

Su Jingzhi said again: "What do I think, but it's a pity that Jingxian is not, she can't care about it all the time, anyway, you have to be careful of her after you enter the palace."

"I know."

The two sisters talked again, and as the night was getting dark, the eunuch outside came to deliver a message for Su Mingyue to leave immediately.

Su Jingzhi didn't say goodbye immediately, she held Su Mingyue's hand, but stopped talking.

"Sister, stay here, then I... I'm leaving now." Su Mingyue didn't do her makeup anymore, and just put on the blue-gray cloak handed over by the servant girl, and was about to go out.

"Yu'er..." My sister called her baby name, "I... I'll take you to the gate of the palace."

Su Mingyue was a little surprised, Su Jingzhi couldn't help but take her hand, and the two of them left the boudoir and went outside the west wing.

Su Mingyue knelt down in front of the wing room, as farewell to her parents, Gao Tang, and did not stay long. Yesterday, her father had already explained what should be explained, and also explained that she would leave late at night, so there is no need to alarm him.The two of them were led by their mother-in-law along the zigzag path of the Su Mansion to the side gate. Outside, a windproof sedan chair was parked under the porch, and it was a spring night with slanting wind and drizzle.

After getting into the warm sedan chair, Su Jingzhi began to fidget, holding Su Mingyue's hand more and more tightly.

"This matter, I should have rotted in my stomach. Jingxian told me that I was not allowed to talk about it. But today we say goodbye, and I don't know when we will meet again. I think it over and over again, and I think you should let you know."

Su Mingyue listened to her with bated breath.

"Jingxian said that my mother was not killed by anger, but by poison."

Su Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.

I just heard Su Jingzhi continue, "We argued, she said your mother did it, I said it was..."

Su Mingyue's face turned pale, "So, my brother wasn't born stupid, he was poisoned to be stupid, right?"

Su Jingzhi was startled, this was something she had been bored in her heart for a long time and dared not say.

"I don't know, I was only three or two years old at the time, how could I know?" Su Jingzhi covered her face and wept, "They all said my mother was a shrew, a shrew, she once stood under the plaque of the Su residence in front of the door and swore , she will not give up the seat of the main house. She was born as a member of the Su family and died as a ghost of the Su family. Therefore, she will definitely not commit suicide. Her father said that it is impossible for her to commit suicide by taking poison. Jingxian sees She was poisoned. She struggled so hard that ten fingernails broke off. She was dragged from the downstairs of the east wing to the room and locked in the room until she died of the poison. "

Fa's wife committed suicide by taking poison, and her mother's family came to make trouble, but so what?The housekeeper also carefully stuffed the corpse's hand under the brocade quilt.

Su Yunhai got married not long ago, and gave birth to his second child with Xu Xian - Su Mingyue the following year.

Yes, he had been hiding in the golden house in the other courtyard of the Su Mansion, and gave birth to a son named Su Qinrui. However, the child had a serious illness when he was three years old, and he became a complete fool when he grew up.

Su Mingyue was the jewel in Su Yunhai's palm, and she was once doted on in every possible way. She was afraid of falling when she held it in her hand, and she was afraid of melting if she held it in her mouth.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, Su Yunhai married the third wife, and the fourth wife was like his wife. The second wife was lucky and ill-fated, and died of illness when Su Mingyue was eight years old.

It wasn't tuberculosis, kidney disease, or other physical weakness. She had hysteria, and the doctor said she died of fright.

"Here we are, please get off the sedan chair, Ms. Su, there will be a eunuch in charge of the palace to pick her up."
