Chapter 949 Cold and Warm
It is indeed cold in Zhongtunwei, Guangning. It is the coldest at night. Chen Xianzhen’s first time came to Liaodong. What impressed her most was of course the weather. Before that, she could hardly imagine such a scene. After all, in Annan, where she was born, people only know the heat and not the cold.
This time she accompanied the northern tour, she did see more scenery. In the huge Ming Dynasty, the water, soil and climate were completely different in different places. The only thing that is the same is that people speak the same Chinese language with different accents, at least the words posted on the door curtains and other places are not at all different.
As she was in the Ming Dynasty, the more she felt strange her hometown.
Chen Xianzhen thought that it might not be because she was used to the Ming Dynasty, but because she seemed to be unable to return to Annan Kingdom. Zhu Gaoxu should not force her to stay, but she felt that it was a bit difficult to make a living after she went back.
When the Chen Dynasty ruled Annan Kingdom, Chen Xianzhen, as a royal family, was born in wealth and wealth, and naturally had no worries about food and clothing. Unexpectedly, the Hu family seized power first, and then Emperor Jian Ding, Emperor Chongguang, Empress Dowager Chen and others were in power. Chen Xianzhen was trapped in the struggle. Her family's family has gradually faded away and is no longer the same as before. Now, the power of Empress Dowager Chen will not revenge her.
Thinking of those chaotic past events and entangled grievances, Chen Xianzhen had a headache. She finally realized that she felt strange in her hometown because she wanted to escape.
Of course, her situation in the Ming Dynasty was not very good. Not to mention that she was suspected of being ill-conspired and was detained in Fengyang for several years; even now, Chen Xianzhen has no foothold here.
First of all, the emperor and the people in the palace did not trust her, and she knew it. When she was in front of the saint, she was searched by the bitter hatred and searched very carefully, which made Chen Xianzhen blush on the spot, and people were afraid that she would be unfavorable to the emperor.
Secondly, the concubines and eunuchs in the palace did not take Chen Xianzhen seriously. The concubines made friends and invited each other to do various things, but Chen Xianzhen could not participate. Occasionally, when she was present, she couldn't even talk.
As for other benefits, such as no one caring about Chen Xianzhen in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the palace maid and eunuch were also very cold. She often felt that she was an outsider, but she seemed to be an outsider after all.
Chen Xianzhen was originally in Annan Kingdom, and everyone admired the beauties they pleased, so of course she was a little uncomfortable with this feeling of isolation. She hadn't thought about what she wanted to get, but she felt purely uncomfortable.
Sometimes she acted a little funny and actively participated in everyone's topics, but it often made the scene very awkward. At first, she would question and reflect on herself, thinking that her Chinese language might be not very fluent, and it was a little difficult to talk to others, or that the topic was not interesting. Later, she calmed down and realized that if she wanted to integrate into people, she also needed other people's cooperation. The concubines, eunuchs and palace maids did not pay attention to Chen Xianzhen, so she was too lazy to cooperate.
The person who is most willing to talk to Chen Xianzhen on weekdays is Depin Duan Xueheng. Duan Xueheng doesn't talk much in front of others and is often taciturn. Perhaps because of the similarities, Chen Xianzhen feels that Duan Xueheng is extra kind.
Later, Chen Xianzhen realized that she was wrong. In fact, Duan Xueheng had nothing similar to her. Duan Xuehen didn't seem to feel that it was embarrassing to be neglected. Chen Xianzhen paid attention to her expression many times and felt that she was calm and calm when she was silent. Moreover, Duan Xueheng was not really neglected. Many people were willing to talk to her. As long as she spoke, everyone would give face and speak very well.
List
Immortal thought that she was also stupid. The emperor trusted Duan Xuehen so much. It is said that the imperial concubine still had a close relationship with Duan Xueheng. Who would deliberately neglect her? It was just that Duan Xuehen did not like to get involved in the fun by nature.
The crowds in the palace were like an invisible wall, as if they were separating outsiders and not allowing irrelevant people to share the benefits and share the fun. Whether it was concubines, eunuchs and palace maids, they were all trying to make friends with popular people so that they could be more convenient and valued in the palace. Those concubines who looked like fairies seemed to be unbearable, were just vulgar women in Chen Xianzhen's eyes, and even felt that they were a little annoying.
Everyone did not deliberately make things difficult for Chen Xianzhen. She was a little depressed by chance and thought that people would just ignore her. After all, the most concerned thing people in the world are mostly themselves. Not many people have time to see Chen Xianzhen's embarrassment of isolation, but she cared about it herself.
It’s just that Chen Xian is really so mean, she doesn’t like to be neglected, and there is no way to do so. She often feels inexplicable panic and unwilling, and even jealous.
But Chen Xianzhen suddenly remembered that Guo Yan, who was once in the Fengyang Imperial City of Zhongdu, realized that her situation was still better than Guo Yan. Guo Yan was involved in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty royal family. After the situation was settled, it would be difficult for her to get rid of it.
Chen Xianzhen is different. Most of the troubles that make her headache are in Annan Kingdom. So Chen Xianzhen was forgotten in Fengyang for several years and could still take the initiative to attract Zhu Gaoxu to meet, but Guo Yan couldn't.
Now Chen Xianzhen is a little uneasy. She had no chance on the way before. Because the tents and houses along the way were very small, many people did not settle in the same place as the emperor. This time, when he arrived at the Zhongtun Guard Office in Guangning, there was a big city, and the emperor settled in a large courtyard. Most of the people who came from the palace, including Chen Xianzhen from Fengyang, settled in the same place.
Several days later, Chen Xianzhen finally found an opportunity.
As the hour of You approached, Chen Xianzhen came to the main courtyard on the central axis of the mansion and found a eunuch who said there were rats in his house; and this place was where the emperor entered and exited. Unexpectedly, the eunuch insisted that rats would hibernate and wanted to send Chen Xianzhen away, so Chen Xianzhen stayed here to argue and delayed time.
At this moment, she indeed saw the emperor coming back through the crack in the window. Chen Xianzhen was surprised. After all, she had no way to confirm in advance whether the emperor had gone to the front yard to work today, and she was even more certain that she would meet the emperor here.
Chen Xianzhen immediately turned around and opened the door, walked to the corridor, and stood by the roadside and bowed to the salute, waiting for Zhu Gaoxu and others to come over. The eunuchs in the room also came out, and saw this, they had to bend down and stand by the road.
Only then did she realize that the emperor had the imperial concubine Mu Zhen and Depin Duan Xuehen. Chen Xianzhen was a little lost when she saw them.
Zhu Gaoxu walked to Chen Xianzhen, stopped and turned to look at her. When Chen Xianzhen saw Zhu Gaoxu, she felt a little angry and cursed to herself: "The person who has no conscience will forget me when he turns around." But she remembered the clothes that Zhu Gaoxu specially customized for her, but she couldn't be too angry. She was in a very complicated mood for a moment.
"Why is Mrs. Chen here?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
At this time, the eunuch next to Chen Xianzhen had a nervous look on her face. She quietly turned her head and looked at her, as if she wanted to beg her not to mention the dispute just now. Of course, Chen Xianzhen would not say such boring little things in front of the emperor, and she was not a fool.
"A little trivial matter, I'm about to go back
Room." Chen Xianzhen said softly.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said kindly: "The weather outside is cold. You are from Annan. I am afraid that you are not used to it, and the room is warm."
Chen Xianzhen said: "Thank you, Master."
This is the voice of the imperial concubine Mu Zhen, "Isn't it cold to wear this jacket only? I have a fur coat there, and I will ask someone to send you one."
Chen Xian said sincerely: Why don’t you care about me? I just deliberately stopped in front of the emperor?
She looked at Mu Zhen and bent her knees and said, "Imperial Concubine Xie."
"A small matter, what do you lack to tell me, don't be too polite." Mu Zhen's bright eyes bent and she showed a sincere smile. Chen Xianzhen immediately felt very warm and beautiful when she saw her smiling face, and she was completely unpretentious and her kindness was convincing.
Chen Xianzhen nodded and smiled.
Then she remembered that Mu Zhen was very popular. After hearing Duan Xueheng said that Mu Zhen had never said bad things from others behind her back and always treated others sincerely. But Chen Xianzhen was also a noble family and had met some women with very good skills in dealing with people. At this time, Chen Xianzhen could not confirm whether Mu Zhen was indeed a good personality or because of her upbringing and scheming.
Anyway, Chen Xianzhen is not a person like Mu Zhen at all, and she doesn't like many people, especially women.
Zhu Gaoxu said in an easy-going tone: "I'm not going to give you a gift, go back."
Chen Xianzhen bent her knees again and said, "Greatly send the emperor, the imperial concubine."
After the crowd continued to walk north, the little eunuch next to him released his breath and blew a long string of white vapor out of his mouth. He turned around and said, "There are really rats in your house? Let's go with you to take a look."
Chen Xianzhen said with a little smile: "Forget it. We can't live in the Zhongtunwei of Guangning for long, so we'll do it for a while. I didn't give up just now because I felt that mice could not hibernate."
The eunuch said embarrassedly: "Our family also listens to what others say."
Chen Xianzhen said: "Goodbye."
The next morning, the palace maid next to the imperial concubine Mu Zhen took a very soft and thick coat, which was very warm on her body, and the workmanship was meticulous and beautiful. The sable hair on the collar was carefully selected, and the color was pure and luxurious. Chen Xianzhen at least felt that Mu Zhen was very good at being a human being, not because the emperor was present and said nice words casually.
Chen Xianzhen received the goods and wanted to repay the imperial concubine. She prepared the food and planned to make a food "oil magnetic" of Shenglong, which was said to have been transmitted from Guangdong and Guangxi to Annan Kingdom. However, Mu Zhen's hometown of Yunnan and the Ming Dynasty had never seen such snacks. Chen Xianzhen thought it was delicious and thought that the imperial concubine could taste fresh.
Chen Xianzhen, who just came out of Fengyang, certainly had no money and could only repay such ordinary things. But I think the imperial concubine didn't care about the high and low things.
The preparation time is tomorrow afternoon, and Chen Xianzhen is expected to complete it as the dinner is approaching and will deliver it to herself.
