Chapter 28: Aunt Yuanchun
Ten miles of heavenly incense, five-color auspicious clouds, two-order immortal battles, a hall layer of xia, the imperial furnace smoke, ethereal like a tan, bead screen mica, light reflecting the morning light.
It is the peaceful season of the holy pilgrimage, and the national fortune is prosperous.
The queen mother and the concubine were enjoying the plum blossoms and drinking tea in the imperial garden, and suddenly heard the palace e's words, and the queen came to knock.
Xu is Yuyuan Shuo wind is too cold, the concubine coughed lightly, the queen mother hurriedly took the fox fur from Gong'e's hand, put it on the concubine, and said, "But there is some discomfort?"
The concubine shook her head gently, her voice was soft, and when she heard it in the ears of others, she felt a cold pool in her heart, like a flower falling, with thin ripples: "It's nothing." ”
"My hands were cold, and I said it was nothing. The Queen Mother held the concubine's hand and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's time to go back." ”
“...... Blessed mother. ”
The queen has led the palace people to the front, and when she heard the queen mother's words, Rao is queen has an extraordinary bearing, and it is difficult to hide the stunned look on her face, but the queen is the queen in the end, and she hurriedly bowed her head and saluted.
The ladies in the palace have always been unpredictable, and it is not known whether this stunned color is true or false.
The Queen Mother glanced at it and smiled: "Get up." ”
The concubine smiled without any scheming, although it was almost the year of destiny, but the eyes were flowing, but it was as charming as a peach blossom, I don't know how beautiful it was when she was a girl, and she said to the queen: "But the queen is also afraid of the cold, and today she looks more and more plump?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the queen's face was stagnant, according to the words of the concubine, it was just like the chatting of ordinary people, it was cold today, and the queen was also dressed thickly, and it looked like she had gained weight, and it was so normal that it couldn't be normal.
But in the ears of the queen, how abnormal it sounds!
Why?
If you want to talk about the queen, she is also dignified and elegant in terms of appearance, with a face like a silver plate and phoenix eyes and pink cheeks.
Dressed in the regular clothes of the dragon and phoenix sprinkled with gold, the pearl and jade phoenix crown, colorful grace, graceful demeanor, it is really luxurious.
If the old woman of the folk sees it, she will definitely praise it, just this blessed appearance, like the Bodhisattva in the painting, and she will not lose when she is a lady in the palace.
This length is quite impeccable, but alas, I don't like it today.
There is no standard for aesthetics, and the emperor is also a human being.
I don't like it, but no one asks the emperor to like the queen, in all dynasties, most of the emperor's favors are concubines. The queen is mostly used for respect.
But this queen mother, she looks magnificent, but her heart and eyes are really not big, when the palace maids combed her hair, she accidentally inserted the hairpin a little crookedly, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully.
The concubines next to them, it's a big deal, they help themselves, and the beauties help the hairpin, which is not interesting, but also a kind of style.
But the queen's mother frowned, and then, the palace maids who were waiting for the dressing were pulled out, and let the punishers beat them until they were out of breath.
The queen thinks that she is strict and is purging the atmosphere, but now she is frightened, and the wife who kills people and drinks saliva is as natural, this brain circuit and psychological state, is there really no problem?
You know, the emperor is also a high-risk profession. The emperor who was sick, overboard, taken pills, and almost strangled to death by the palace maid said that don't look at the emperor as the Son of Heaven, but the reincarnation technique is good, which does not mean that the nine-athlete will not die.
Jinshang didn't like the queen in the first place, but after a few similar things, he gradually alienated the queen, and the emperor sat on the six palaces of Fandai, and if he didn't come to the queen, he didn't have nowhere to go today.
But today I got up a little late at the concubine's place, so the queen went to question Jinshang in formal clothes, saying that Jinshang was neglecting government because of beauty, but the saint would do it.
He also scolded the concubines, saying that it was all the fault of the concubines who bewitched the lord, so that the Son of Heaven lost his morality, and ordered people to scold the concubines with the momentum of the palace.
Today, he naturally couldn't bear to see his concubine being punished, so he was ashamed and blamed himself, because he was greedy for a cup, so he got up late. But the queen bluntly said that it was her duty to discipline the concubines, and she scolded the concubines to warn everyone not to indulge in wine and delay the court.
But now that he has interceded for his concubine, he will write it down for the time being. These words are reasonable, and even Jinshang was moved, thinking that he had misunderstood the queen, or that the queen's painting style was normal.
However, Jinshang soon found that people are not so easy to change, as long as he gets up a little late, or says something considerate to the concubine, even if he does not mistake the early court, the next court will find that the queen took advantage of him to go to the court, and for these reasons, the staff beat the concubine.
Fortunately, the concubine is more expensive than the palace maid, and the queen fights back, but she doesn't dare to hurt her life.
Today, he is considered to be a tolerant person, but when he meets such a queen, he can't help but be angry, and when the blood swells in his heart, he is determined to abolish the queen.
However, at that time, the Empress Dowager was still alive, and the Empress Dowager was chosen by the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager, like ordinary people and grandmothers, naturally persuaded and did not persuade to leave, and the queen's crying touched the empress dowager's heart, and she felt a little connected with the same disease.
So, he warned him not to be unrighteous, and gave the female officials around him to the queen and assisted the queen, in fact, to support the queen.
However, the Empress Dowager is also crooked, after the female officials given by the Empress Dowager arrived at the queen's side, there were fewer and fewer concubines who were scolded by the queen, but the queen disposed of more and more palace people under the pretext of trivial matters.
Especially after having a favorite concubine today, if Kunning Palace didn't kill people in the month, the entire palace felt that the wind was measured, as if there were ghosts following behind him, and he wanted to find a stand-in ghost.
After the Empress Dowager collapsed, the queen rarely killed even the palace people, in addition to managing palace affairs and asking for peace, she accompanied the old ladies to eat fasting and chant Buddha, saying that it was chanting for the Empress Dowager, and she had a reputation for filial piety.
"The queen mother also came to say hello to the old saint and the concubine?"
The delicate laughter, accompanied by the jingling of rings, came softly.
Two palace beauties walked over with a little girl wrapped in pink makeup and jade wrapped in a group of people.
The palace people next to him were busy with blessings, and it turned out that the people who came were Wu Guifei and Zhou Guiren, who were newly sealed today.
The little girl, wrapped in a pink fox fur cloak and wearing a fine fox skin ornament on her head, was young, but she could already see a little bit of beauty, and she had not yet stepped forward to say goodbye.
The Queen Mother took it and took the girl into her arms, her eyes were full of kindness and smiles, and she joked to the concubine: "Look at Ruan'er's little appearance, there is a little bit of the shadow of your youth, which is much longer than her Laozi." ”
The concubine smiled softly, her eyes were slightly upturned, and she was a little disgusted: "This is my granddaughter, naturally like me." If you want me to say, Zhongshun is the president, among so many princes, he is the only one who looks like a high ancestor, and the emperor does not dare to start every time he wants to teach him a lesson. ”
The Queen Mother laughed, and the surrounding palace people also laughed, and the Queen Mother said: "It seems that although Gaozu is good, it seems that you are not bad, if it seems that when you were young, the Emperor Taishang was stunned, not that he did not dare to fight, but he was reluctant to fight, but I don't know how naughty the loyalty and obedience will be?"
"Oh, it's just the emperor who is stunned, not the queen mother. ”
The concubine laughed and coughed a few times, and her pale cheeks swept two pale reds, and the charm of Chu Chu made everyone present stunned.
After a while, Fang burst out laughing.
The concubine is nearly fifty years old, sick and sick, and still has such a charm, if she is young, I really don't know how stunning it is.
No wonder some palace people once said that when the envoys of all countries saw the concubine, they all thought that it was heaven and man who were mortal, and they knelt down and worshipped.
In the court, no one embarrassed the concubine, no matter who it was, whether it was a man or a woman, when she saw the concubine, she was overwhelmed by her complexion, not ashamed of herself, but obsessed.
Some clan girls are even willing to enter the palace as concubine maids, only wishing to be able to accompany the concubine for a long time.
It was only after meeting the concubine that the world knew what it meant to be a peerless beauty who captivated the country and the city.
The queen mother was also a famous beauty in Beijing back then, but after seeing the concubine, she looked stupid, followed the concubine, and didn't even return home, causing the adults in the family to think that she was lost, and looking for it everywhere was also an interesting incident in Beijing in the past.
The queen laughed twice, her eyes swept over Wu Guifei and Zhou Guiren, and when she saw one stuffed and one charming, slender and dusty, she immediately lowered her eyes, gritted her teeth in her heart, hated and scolded a fox, and scolded the concubine, the nine-tailed fox demon, and fascinated a litter.
The queen scolded the concubine, not just because the concubine said that she was plump, but because she had a long grudge.
Looking at Zhou Guiren and Wu Guifei, you know that these two concubines have the character of a concubine, because they had a joke when they were young, and they wanted to marry a daughter-in-law as beautiful as the concubine.
The queen is also a beauty, but compared with the concubine when she was young, she has become a fire-burning girl, or the kind with a big waist and a round waist that can split eight pieces of firewood with an axe.
Besides, the concubine is an elegant person, doing poetry near the water, washing bamboo and painting or something, beauty, doing this is an elegant thing, and changing to a modern literary youth is contrived. Without him, it's just a look.
The queen, a decent person who opens her mouth and closes her mouth and alludes to etiquette, faces most of the harem is a cowardly pseudo-talented woman, and she does not complain about the concubine, a fashion guide, and she is not the queen's mother.
Therefore, the queen raised her face and said with a smile: "Speaking of Prince Zhongshun, I have heard a rare thing recently, and I don't know if the old sage knows?"
"What's the matter?"
The Queen Mother was ordering someone to get a decoction to keep out the cold, and when she heard this, she asked casually.
The queen smiled dignifiedly, pointed to a female official with a round face and almond eyes beside her, and said with a smile: "It has something to do with Yuanchun's family." Yuanchun was given to me by the Empress Dowager back then, and over the years, I have been diligent, conscientious, and honest. Today, he suddenly begged me to come to me, saying that there was a new book in the world, full of great rebellious words, and some people had already begged for a ban. But after Prince Zhongshun read it, he actually said that this was originally from their family, and it was written by her uncle, and it was preached all over the capital. The boy was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he kowtowed to me and said that there was no way their family would write such a rebellious thing. I think, Yuanchun's family, Rongguo Mansion, was also the founding of the country, Prince Zhongshun's words, is it unintentional, or ......"
This female official is actually Yuan Chun?
I saw Yuan Chun step forward, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The prince said that the words written in the book were family affairs of Rongguo Mansion, and the words were originally written by the first-class general Jia Yu. But thinking about it, the prince just made an unintentional mistake. The ancients said that the rumors stopped at the wise, and the slave and maid should not have alarmed the old sage for this matter, but as the saying goes, the three of them become tigers. The slave and grandmother are old and sick, and the slave and maid are really worried......"
"That's what happened. The queen also cares too much. As for the matter of the book, I have also heard of it, Niangniang only knows that Prince Zhongshun said that this is a family matter of Rongguofu, why don't I know that it is said that it is a nobleman of the previous dynasty, and the current high-ranking official Yuan family, and some people say that this is the old matter of Prince Yizhong. If everyone is like this Yuan Chun, listening to the wind is the rain, will this be worth it?"
Zhou Guiren was born in the market, and he was the most well-informed in these gossip, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.
Wu Guifei also smiled, she was a lady from a high family, she boasted of her brilliance, and she couldn't get used to Yuan Chun's fake style, so she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said: "Aunt Yuan Chun is worried about her grandmother, and she is also a piece of filial piety. It's just that since he knows that he shouldn't alarm the old saint, he is still the same, when Aunt Yuanchun was by the side of the Empress Dowager, she was not such a reckless person. The old saint is naturally inferior to the Empress Dowager in Aunt Yuanchun's heart. ”
As soon as Wu Guifei's words came out, she was simply beating Yuan Chun's face repeatedly, the Queen Mother was not as good as the Queen Mother, but she was not as good as Mother Jia, did she think that the Queen Mother was soft and could be bullied? Yuan Chun said weakly: "That's not what the slave and maid mean...... Because of the great rebellion involved......"
Yuan Chun bit her silver teeth in her heart, she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she is even more of a star holding the moon in the Rongguo Mansion, even the treasure jade that falls with jade, and she is not as favored as her.
She knew when she was a child that these treatments were not gratuitous, and the time of her birth was good, so the family had high hopes for her, hoping that she would be chosen on the king's side one day.
However, she entered the palace as a female official, but was selected by the Empress Dowager to her side, because the Empress Dowager is getting older and more nostalgic, and she also takes a little more care of the granddaughters of these old heroes in the past.
It is said that Yuan Chun is by the side of the Empress Dowager, and there are many opportunities to see Jinshang, but Jinshang is not the kind of person who can't control his lower body, not to mention Yuan Chunzhu's round and jade appearance, and he is not in Jinshang's eyes.
Later, the queen mother gave it to the queen, and the queen was far away from the queen, after Yuan Chun followed the queen, he even had fewer opportunities to see the queen, and he watched the queen find an excuse to kill the palace people every day, even if Yuan Chun knew that he was given by the queen mother, the queen did not dare to touch her, and she was so frightened that she had a nightmare.
When the empress dowager collapsed, in order to brush up her prestige, Yuan Chun followed the queen all day long to accompany those old ladies to eat fast and recite Buddha, and Yuan Chun converted to Taoism.
Listening to these harsh remarks in her ears, Yuan Chun secretly swore that the Empress Dowager could go from a female official to the Empress Dowager, how could she not, and when the time came, she would definitely repay the humiliation she suffered a thousand times.
However, Yuan Chun forgot a little, it is true that the Empress Dowager is a female official, but the Empress Dowager was only pampered by Gaozu once or twice and then left behind, even if her stomach was angry and gave birth to a son, but her son was born and was taken away.
After her son became the throne and posthumously sealed her adoptive mother, she was respected as the queen mother, and before she became the queen mother, the position of the queen mother was a nobleman, until the death of Gaozu.
Otherwise, how could the queen mother be connected to the queen's fate?
It's not just the present that doesn't remember the old favors.
On this day, the main hall of Rongguo Mansion was warm, and the plum blossoms with buds in the bottle were faintly bloomed by this warmth. But the masters of Rongguo Mansion didn't feel the warmth at all, but as if they had just crawled out of the hole in the glacier, they were cold and cold, and they were forced to convulsions by the cold.
With a bang, the sweet white porcelain cup in Jia's mother's hand fell to the ground, and her wrinkled hands trembled. Mrs. Wang was also shaking and about to faint next to her, but she shook and shook, and Jin Chu'er's painful and distorted expression next to her showed that Mrs. Wang couldn't faint for a while. And Mrs. Xing will look at Jia Yu for a while, and look at Jia Mu for a while, her face is full of pomp and anxiety, and her acting skills are bad!
Jia Cong hid behind Jia Lian and tried to make an inexplicable expression, but Jia Cong's eyes were full of excitement to watch the big show.
"What did you say?"
Jia Yu's face turned purple, and he trembled with anger.
The chief historian of the loyal and obedient palace seemed to be smiling: "The queen mother's decree...... The Zunfu is not as good as other families, and the aunt of your mansion is also a filial piety, and our prince has changed it. Our prince said it, but it was just an unintentional remark, and I wouldn't mind if I wanted to come to your mansion...... The prince also said, if your mansion wants to mind, don't worry. It's a big deal for him to be an old man, and now he will be the master. It's just that if you say it in front of you, the eldest lord of your mansion and the eldest aunt of Yuan, I'm afraid that I will suffer some losses?"
