Chapter 468 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 3]
On this day, Fu Jin Wu Ya brought two maids to You You's Chuanheju.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Youyou sitting by the window embroidering. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, making her look particularly peaceful and beautiful.
Mrs. Wu Ya couldn't help but walk over and gently touched Youyou's hair, saying with emotion: "Yaliqi has grown up so much, it's time for you to get married. Mother really can't bear to let you go!"
Youyou put down the needlework in her hands, raised her head, smiled sweetly at Mrs. Wuya, and said, "Since mother is reluctant to let me go, then I will not marry. I will accompany mother all my life, and mother and father will support me."
Mrs. Wu Ya laughed and scolded, "You, you little monkey, you only know how to make your mother happy. There is no reason for a girl not to get married. If you stay at home, you will be laughed at to death."
Youyou held the hand of Mrs. Wuya and said coquettishly, "Mother, please find me a good husband so that I can marry in style."
Fu Jin Wu Ya sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity that your mother and father are useless. They can't let you marry as a wife, and you can't wear a red wedding dress. It's a pity for our Yaliqi."
When Youyou heard this, she immediately understood something. She asked tentatively, "Mother, do you mean that I might enter the palace as a concubine?"
Mrs. Wuya nodded and said, "My son is smart and knows everything. Sometimes I really wish you were a man, so you wouldn't have to be afraid of anything."
Youyou comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. Even if I enter the palace, I can take care of myself. Besides, if I enter the palace as a concubine, maybe I can bring glory to our family."
Fu Jin Wu Ya looked at You You and said distressedly: "My silly child, life in the palace is not so easy. However, this is your fate. Mother only hopes that you can be safe and sound."
Youyou hugged Mrs. Wuya and said coquettishly, "Mother, don't worry, I will be fine. No matter where I am, I will always be your sweet little cotton-padded jacket."
"Good, good, good, all good, much better than your three brothers." Mrs. Wu Ya's face was filled with a gratified smile, and she said in a soft tone: "My daughter has really grown up."
"That's right." Youyou echoed softly.
"Oh, Yaliqi!" Fu Jin Wu Ya suddenly seemed to remember something, and earnestly reminded: "Mother wants to tell you about the palace. Although Empress Dowager Wu Ya and Mother are of the same clan, they are not of the same branch, so there is no family affection between you, and she probably won't treat you sincerely. But you don't have to care about these, just maintain superficial harmony with her. If someone dares to bully you, don't be afraid. Remember, you have the support of the Niuhulu clan and the Wu Ya family where Mother is, and they will protect you. If someone dares to bully you, you can scold them back without hesitation. Don't be afraid if something happens, because your father and your three brothers will support you. In the palace, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. After all, you were ordered to enter the palace by His Majesty himself, and it is very likely that you are just a mascot. But don't worry, as long as your father and three brothers are still there, His Majesty will never abandon you easily."
"Thank you, mother." Youyou said with tears of gratitude.
"Remember what mother said. We, the Niuhuru clan, are not easy to mess with, nor are we easy to bully. You can go with confidence. The entire Niuhuru clan stands behind you." Fu Jin Uya said gently and firmly to her daughter Yalichi.
Yaliqi nodded obediently, with confidence and courage in her eyes. She knew that she was shouldering the honor and expectations of her family, but at the same time, she also believed that she could cope with future challenges.
At this time, the three brothers also came into the room. When they saw Mrs. Wu Ya, they bowed and said, "Greetings to mother."
Fu Jin Wu Ya looked at them with a smile and said, "Well, are you here to see Yaliqi as well? Do you have anything to say?"
"Mother, I heard that my sister is going to enter the palace." The eldest brother Niuhulu Alben'a frowned and said worriedly. He was worried that his sister would be hurt by the intrigues in the palace.
"Mother, my little sister is so beautiful, how can she enter the palace?" The second brother, Niuhulu Ateng'a, shouted excitedly, "If you ask me, no one is worthy of my sister Ateng'a!" His love for his sister was beyond words.
"Third brother, be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall, be careful not to harm your sister." The second brother Niuhulu Alsong'a gently reminded him. He knew very well the cruelty of the court struggle and hoped that his brother would not bring trouble to his sister because of a momentary impulse.
"A Teng, you should change your temper. Your second brother is right. Be careful that you may say something disastrous someday." Mrs. Wu Ya warned her sons earnestly. She hoped that the children would understand that they should be prudent in what they say and do and not offend others easily.
"Mother, why are you blaming me? I am just worried about my sister." Niuhulu Ateng'a said unconvincedly. He felt that as a brother, it was natural for him to care about his sister.
"Okay, Yaliqi must enter the palace, but I don't know with what rank." Fu Jin Wu Ya said, with a hint of worry and expectation in her tone.
"Little sister, you must be good in the palace. We will fight for your position." The three brothers said together. They looked at their lovely sister in front of them, their hearts filled with love.
"Thank you, brothers, but you have to be careful, I am still waiting for your nephews and nieces." Youyou said to her three brothers with a smile. She knew that her brothers were all excellent, but she still couldn't help but remind them to be safe.
"Don't worry, little sister. Your brothers know everything." Niuhulu Alben'a gently touched his sister's head and said with a firm look in his eyes.
At the same time, the queen in the palace learned that His Majesty would allow the legitimate daughter of the Niuhulu clan to enter the palace this time, and her heart was filled with ripples.
She knew what this news meant. The power of the Niuhulu clan was growing stronger and stronger. If this Niuhulu woman was favored by His Majesty, her position would be threatened. Thinking of this, the queen could not help but frown.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The woman from the Nianhulu clan may not necessarily be favored by His Majesty." The palace maid beside her comforted her.
"Yes, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to find a way." A cold light flashed in the queen's eyes, and she decided to take some action to maintain her position.
At this time in Niuhulu's mansion, Youyou didn't know that she was about to face a palace struggle. She just simply hoped to enter the palace, become an outstanding concubine, and bring honor to the family.
The queen hurried to Shoukang Palace and asked the palace maid. After learning that the queen mother was worshiping Buddha, she waited in the outer hall.
After waiting for a while, the Queen Mother came out, and the Queen quickly stood up and saluted, "Your son pays respect to the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, motioning for the Queen to sit down and talk.
After the queen sat down, she said worriedly, "Mother Queen, I heard that Your Majesty wants to let Nianhulu enter the palace this time. She is a member of the legitimate lineage. I am a little worried..."
Empress Dowager Wuya Chengbi gently patted the Queen's hand and comforted her: "I know your concerns, but don't worry, she will not threaten your position. The Emperor has already told me that the Niuhulu clan entered the palace just as a mascot, just to contain the court."
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Madam, for telling me. I feel much more at ease now."
Queen Mother Wuya Chengbi looked at the Queen and said earnestly, "Yixiu, I understand your thoughts, but you can't easily provoke this Niuhulu. If it was a side branch, it would be fine, but she happens to be a legitimate branch. If you do something to her, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. So I hope you can remember my words and don't act rashly."
The queen nodded respectfully, but she didn't agree in her heart. She felt that as the master of the six palaces, she had the power and ability to handle anything. Moreover, as long as she acted carefully and didn't leave any handle, even if the queen mother and the emperor blamed her, she would be able to shirk responsibility.
However, she could only bury these thoughts deep in her heart and dared not reveal them at all.
