Chapter Forty-Seven: Gossip in the Palace
The queen gave birth to a princess, and the news only reached the palace the next day, and the depression visible to the naked eye in the palace was swept away, and the ladies everywhere relaxed and walked around.
Qin Yunyi felt funny, "The queen didn't give birth this time, and it's not that she can't give birth next time, they are so happy as if they have already given birth to the prince?"
"The queen didn't give birth this time, so she can take a breath first. Miaoji said, "But speaking of which, if Mr. Niangniang has a prince, she will have a chance better than them." ”
"Me?" Qin Yunyi smiled and shook her head, she can't have children, in the harem, her mother is not favored, or the prince who does not have the help of her mother's family, she is pitiful. She couldn't bear to let her child become pitiful.
"Let's go, let's go to the polo field, don't keep Princess Li waiting for a long time. Qin Yunyi said.
Princess Li ran two laps on the polo field, "How long has the princess been here?" Qin Yunyi asked.
"I've been here for a while. The little eunuch at the polo field said.
"The concubine is here. "Princess Li, riding her horse, came down to salute.
"You don't have to come down. Qin Yunyi said, "Just salute immediately." ”
Princess Li and the concubine played a few balls, and they also knew her temperament, knowing that she was really casual, so they didn't insist, and when Qin Yunyi got on the horse, the two of them trotted for a while.
Princess Li's face was not good, Qin Yunyi couldn't ignore it even if she didn't see it, seeing her swing the ball vigorously as if she was angry, the ball flew far away, the little eunuch chased after her, Qin Yunyi looked at her, "What, who still makes you unhappy?"
"There's nothing unpleasant for others to look at me. Princess Li smiled and shook her head.
She looked at Qin Yunyi, "My unhappiness, Niangniang can't understand it, after all, everyone knows that Niangniang is His Majesty's favorite pet." ”
"Is there any discord with King Heli?" Qin Yunyi asked.
"Are you getting along?" Princess Li sneered, "What he wants is a clay statue Bodhisattva-like wife, princess, to take care of his backyard and take care of his Yingying Yanyan and the children born to Yingying Yanyan, who must not lose his dignity externally, and cannot lose his compassion internally, and must be considerate, respectful, and love him." ”
"What he does, I want to love him. Princess Li said, "It's just playing polo, so I said that I lost my status as a princess, but I just refused to admit that I lost to me." ”
"Small-bellied chicken intestines. ”
"Before I got married, I wanted to know that he was such a person, and I would rather twist my hair and be a sister-in-law than marry him. ”
Qin Yunyi looked at her and vented, "What are you talking about, you and King Li, you were married by the first emperor, if you dare to be a sister-in-law, the whole family will be guilty." ”
Princess Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Yes, the first emperor gave marriage, which is the glory of my Xu family, where can I dare to resist the will." ”
"All men in the world are average. Qin Yunyi said, "It's a small person in the market, and the requirements for his wife are also to go up to the hall and the kitchen, to work around for a living, and to have a few spare money in his hand, and he also wants to buy a two-room concubine." ”
"Princess, it's the princess. Qin Yunyi said.
"I only have the title of prince and princess left to comfort myself. Princess Li smiled bitterly, "Maybe one day I provoke the prince, and this princess doesn't have to do it." ”
"You are the first emperor, and King Li will snub you at most, but he will not ask for your princess position. Qin Yunyi said, "In the final analysis, in this world, the way of life of a wife and a wife, and the way of life of a concubine and a concubine, you want to understand, just live and understand, don't be suffocated and live for a lifetime, you haven't lived to understand." ”
"It's a pity to come back to the world. ”
Princess Li nodded, "Yes, the prince didn't expect me to play polo, he was not happy, and I was not allowed to play again, why? I am a princess, I can't even play polo, and he has never played anything with his concubine." ”
"I've been shaking my face for the past few days, and I'm going to continue fighting. What a good princess should look like, I just want to be a bad princess. ”
"If I continue to hold it like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day when I will die. ”
"You are so happy, I'm afraid that it will be King Li. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "Don't say that I, the person who is a little sister-in-law, deliberately separates you two young people." ”
"I'll teach you two tricks. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "This secret, I have never told anyone, the secret of my majesty's favor." ”
Princess Li's eyes widened, although she just said who she loved, but at this time, she couldn't help but stretch her neck and come closer, marrying a husband and wife, where is it so easy to die to her husband, it's just that King Li has always been willing to provide for her, making her angry and disheartened.
Qin Yunyi didn't laugh at her duplicity, but told her seriously, "The secret is that what you should say must be said, if you don't say the hard work of being a princess, he will never know." ”
"The second is that you must cry when you should cry, show him what to do, you are his wife, you are also a woman, is it only the delicate flowers in the backyard who will shed tears, and your eyes will only stare dryly. ”
"It's in a man's nature to like a softer woman, and you don't have to deal with that nature. Qin Yunyi said, "You said that King Li only treats you as a bodhisattva, is it also because you always hold the princess shelf and refuse to be a woman and go to him kindly?"
"I was so rigid before, and now I am soft, he won't think I'm wrong, right?" Princess Li said worriedly, why didn't she want to do this, but the grandmothers persuaded her that all princesses are like this, as long as she is a good princess with a calm heart.
"Listen to your own heart. Qin Yunyi said, "The husband and wife, in fact, don't talk about face. ”
"After all, husband and wife are the same, and there is a difference between insiders and outsiders. ”
"I don't know. Princess Li said, "King Li lost his mother since he was a child, and he lost his father when he was a minor. ”
"Look, you've said such things, don't you know what to do?" Qin Yunyi said with a smile, "King Li is very yearning for family affection, if you don't fill this gap in his heart and have someone else fill it, then you can really only be a bodhisattva for offering." ”
Princess Li thought about it for a long time against the wind, and then said to Qin Yunyi with some embarrassment, "Niangniang, I am rude and abrupt today." ”
"It's also that I'm too talkative. But as soon as I said that, and you just listened to it, the wind blew and nothing happened. Qin Yunyi said, "In the future, I will only play polo, regardless of anything else." ”
"Niangniang is such a good person. Princess Li said, "Although the rumors are exaggerated, I will be suspicious, and after getting along with my mother closely, I know that what the outside world says is all false." ”
"Your Majesty would like Niangniang, it couldn't be easier. ”
Qin Yunyi lowered his head and smiled, raised his horsewhip, and galloped out.
After the second princess born to the queen washed the third day, Qi Zongwen wrote to the palace, saying that it was a few days before August, and it was troublesome to go back and forth, so he would not come to the palace.
Qin Yunyi sent someone to ask the concubine who wanted to go back and who wanted to stay.
She's not going to go anyway.
In the end, Qin Yunyi, Concubine Xian's mother and daughter and Concubine Jia stayed in the palace, and the rest of the concubines returned to the palace.
Qin Yunyi does not return to the palace, everyone can understand, after all, it is Jane's concubine in the emperor's heart, and if she doesn't go back, Your Majesty will be worried, and if Concubine Xian doesn't go back, everyone can also understand, Concubine Xian is pregnant now, and she can't serve Your Majesty when she goes back, but this concubine is Your Majesty's new favorite, and now she doesn't want to go back to the palace as soon as possible to take the hot iron, but stays in the palace.
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
Concubine Jia was the old god at the moment, and she looked at the palace maid's puzzled eyes and said with a smile, "If you stay in the palace today, you don't have to worry about the concubine's dissatisfaction with me, isn't this exactly what you are worried about?"
"But Niangniang, no matter how much you are afraid of the concubine, Your Majesty's grace is the way for Niangniang to live. The palace maid said puzzled.
"You don't understand, Your Majesty's grace has never been the way to stand. Concubine Jia shook her head, she was ordered by His Majesty to manage palace affairs before she accepted her favor, what was the reason?
Even why she was first named a concubine?
She didn't follow back to the palace this time, but stayed in the palace to accompany the concubine, I'm afraid Your Majesty will remember that she is a person who doesn't forget her old feelings, which is much more beneficial than following back to the palace to burn the stove.
Princess Li wanted to stay in the palace and refused to leave, so she pounded the table angrily, "The other princes and royal families have gone back, what are you doing here?"
"Escape the summer?" Princess Li ate the melon elegantly, "If the prince wants to go back, take the concubine back, don't worry about me." ”
"You see which prince and princess are walking separately. King Li said, "In previous years, I didn't come to the palace to escape the heat, and I didn't see you die of heat." ”
"Didn't Your Majesty still leave the concubine in the palace?" Princess Li said, "Your Majesty doesn't come, the rest of the people are gone, and the concubine stays in the palace, and there is not even a person to speak, isn't it pitiful." ”
"Then don't you still have a virtuous concubine to accompany her?" said King Li, "besides, does the concubine use you to accompany you? You are a dignified prince and princess, and you are so flattering to a noble concubine, you, you are really a disgrace to the king." ”
Princess Li snapped and threw the fork on the plate, and the silver fork made a crisp sound, "That's the concubine, that's also your little sister-in-law, you salute Your Majesty every day, is it flattering?"
"I don't know what to do. ”
"What did you say?" said King Li, pouting. "You say this king doesn't know what to say?"
"That's you. Princess Li glared and said, "What you just said, just say it in front of me, but if you say it elsewhere, if it reaches Your Majesty's ears, what do you think you can get?"
"Harem, is it an ordinary wife and concubine?"
King Li also felt that his flattery might have been too much, looking around, no one had to wave off the next person in order to take care of the princess's face, and he had to pour tea by himself, the tea was still hot, and he couldn't enter his mouth for a while, and then looked at the plate of iced melons in front of the princess, and felt that his throat could smoke.
"Do you have to fight me?" said King Li, huffing.
"Your Majesty has said that the clan relatives can stay in the palace, why does the prince want to go back?" Princess Li asked rhetorically.
"The other uncles and the county kings have all returned to Beijing. King Li said. "Let's not be mavericks. ”
"What's the matter, in the future, the uncle's family will only eat tofu, and let's not eat green vegetables?" Princess Li asked, "The big right and wrong are on the same page, why can't you deal with this small place according to your own discretion, you are also a dignified prince, and you can't have your own opinions." ”
"You. King Li was angry. "Are you the first day you married into the palace? What do you not know?" Although he has to be favored by the emperor first, he is indeed a poor child without a father and no mother, and the eldest grandmother has always told him that he must be cautious.
Don't go out of line.
"I think the prince hasn't figured out his situation yet. The princess said, and she handed him a piece of melon, "Oh, look at your pitiful." ”
"Who is pitiful. King Li retorted, but he still couldn't stand the dry throat, took the melon, chewed it like gnawing meat, and re-examined the princess of the relationship between husband and wife, and also understood the worries of the prince who had not seen it before, and she couldn't help but feel distressed, she reached out to hold King Li's hand, "The prince has opened the mansion, is the master of the house, no longer lives in the palace, and does not dare to make mistakes in everything." ”
"The prince is a hereditary prince, although he is younger than other uncles, but he can't be underestimated. ”
King Li paused for a moment, and then looked at the princess's hand on his hand, "This king was unable to return to Beijing because the princess was playful." After saying dryly, he walked away.
The princess looked at his distant back for the first time, not angry or disappointed, but smiling, "The prince is quite cute when he is awkward." ”
