In the winter of the thirty-second year of Emperor Zhaowu, the wind howled and the geese and snow flew.

Heaven and earth are covered with a layer of white mist, only the branches of the plum wrapped in silver, the faint red and tender Ling Han blooms, and after the flowers wither, it leads the way.

At this time, the warm pavilion of the East Palace was not as strong as the wind outside the house, and the burning charcoal fire baked the inner room as warm as spring.

When Shen Shi, a few whispers gradually came from outside, and then Mama Zhen was dressed in a dark purple cardigan dress with a beaded brocade pattern, picked up the beaded silk curtain with auspicious brocade of the spirit animal, and walked in lightly. Soft-soled embroidered shoes stepped on the delicate and intricate lichen, and fell silently.

Mama Zhen stood a foot away, and said respectfully.

"The head of the Fang Cai House sent a message, saying that the prince had returned to the East Palace, and was currently handling government affairs in the study.

"Freshen up?"

Leaning on the tatami mat, holding the enamel color dragon playing with the pearl stove and watching the snow at the window, Zhang Ruoyuan heard this, raised his eyebrows lightly, and a smile appeared on his porcelain white delicate little face, and asked with a smile.

"Mama, is this a bad color of the palace?"

Mama Zhen sighed in her heart, and raised her head to meet the pair of water-cut eyes. With affection and anticipation, Yingying is like a clear and clear stream, reflecting the clouds and clouds, and the bright streamer.

In the meantime, the water is shining, and the bright moon and stars are no different.

The eyes turned downward, the water blue placket was cinched at the waist and supported the bottom of the smoke skirt, the emerald green Xiangfei bamboo was full of sleeves, and the three thousand green silk were rolled into a fallen bun, and a simple flying butterfly was obliquely inserted into the silver flower Huasheng. The hookah gauze wrapped the skin of the frost and snow, the pretty face was not powdered, and the white cheeks with pearl and jade color were so delicate that they seemed to be dripping water.

Bad color?

In the whole world, no one knows that Quyang Zhang's Zuofu has been blessed for a hundred years, and the children of the disciples are all over the world. Among them, one of the descendants is even more famous all over the world. The sons are all beautiful, and several young ladies are even more beautiful and graceful. Among them, the most favored Miss Eight is especially so.

Who doesn't know that the best among the Zhang daughters is none other than the young daughter. Before it was finished, it had already come out with bright eyes and bright teeth, and the pink carved jade, not to mention the time when the fragrance was in full bloom.

Looking at the huge Kyoto, except for the crown princess, who can afford the eight words "bright as the moon, unparalleled in beauty"?

If even the crown princess is not a good color, shouldn't all mediocre people be stunned in the mirror and poke themselves in the eyes?

Mama Zhen knew that this was the crown princess reminding herself in disguise that she had overstepped her bounds, so she immediately lowered her head and held her breath and stood respectfully on one side.

The old slave was terrified. ”

With a smile on his lips, Zhang Ruoyuan moved towards the side of the golden red phoenix sandalwood table, his index finger and thumb, which were as white as onions, and twisted a full-colored candied fruit in the silk agate plate and put it in his mouth. Wait for the last trace of sweetness to melt into the tongue coating, and rub it with a golden silk peony silk handkerchief, and then slowly open your lips.

"This palace just looks at Mama is kind and amiable, and casually says a joke, how can it make people panic?

Mama is the old man in front of the queen mother, and has served the prince for many years, His Royal Highness's food and clothing are the best Mama, no matter what you say or do, it is made. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ruoyuan slowed down his speech. And Mama Zhen looked slightly flustered, and every word was loud.

"The mother has tormented the old slave!"

"Are you tormented? I'm afraid that I'm just wronged my grandmother......"

The tail note is slightly hooked, with the soft and melodious oriole sound, which is indescribably sultry. Mama Zhen only felt a thorn in her back, and her whole body was cold.

Although the crown princess looks soft and delicate, if she is more serious, the inadvertent momentum that flows out is full of like the prince.

Thinking about this, Mama Zhen couldn't help but kneel down with her legs, throw her five bodies to the ground, and said abruptly.

"The old slave is violating, please atone for the princess!"

Zhang Ruoyuan casually sketched the pattern of the hand stove with his fingertips, and saw that Mama Zhen looked frank and had no perfunctory meaning, so Wan Ting stayed down to help her up.

"Mama has experienced ups and downs in the palace several times, and there are many places where the palace will rely on you in the future. If Mama is now "frightened" and "atoned for", how should this palace deal with itself?"

After Mama Zhen straightened up, Zhang Ruo put on the carved gold rhombic flower inlaid jade shoes, and instructed the two first-class maids to take the water and dip the river to take the newly made rose red and gold double-layer Guangya long-tailed Luan robe and replace it, and then picked up the flame-colored gold leaf plum blossom and pasted it on his forehead.

Only this finishing touch of cinnabar, the original elegant and beautiful face faded the purity and coquettishness because of this fire-like color, showing the indescribable bright and graceful appearance, and the soul was intimidated between the expectations.

Lightly swept the moth eyebrows, with Zhu Dan in his mouth, and looked forward to the brilliance between the smiles. The whole person is like a peony in full bloom, graceful and noble, and the style is peerless.

"According to Mama, I may see His Highness this time?"

Hearing the displeasure of the crown princess's words, Mama Zhen was sincerely afraid, and she didn't dare to meet the extremely abrupt eyebrows.

Even if she has been around the royal mound for half her life, and she doesn't know how many beautiful women she has seen, she can't help but sigh - this princess is really a peerless and gorgeous woman.

What's even more rare is that seven-trick exquisite heart.

Slap and then give a sweet date, which is not too harsh and honest, but also not weak and allowed to be manipulated, which can be called exquisite.

Such a woman should be the tip of the heart that makes people hold it in the palm of her hand and pity honey/love, no wonder the widow is like the prince who is always thinking about pampering.

Without allowing Mama Zhen to think about it, Zhang Ruoyuan spoke again.

"Since there is nothing wrong with the makeup of the palace, then I will bother my grandmother to go and tell the small kitchen to prepare dinner.

His Royal Highness doesn't like fishy and spicy, and he frowned for a long time after taking a bite of the oil-fried elbow strip last time, so don't do it again in the future.

Appetizers sweet and sour lotus root, fresh mushroom and cabbage sum are very good, remember to tell the small kitchen to boil a bowl of wolfberry yam pork rib soup, cold weather both cold and nourishing. ”

After instructing and instructing, making sure that there was nothing to say, Zhang Ruoyuan waved his hand and let Mama Zhen go down.

Suddenly, Gu's mother, who had been waiting outside for a long time, walked in and couldn't help but be concerned.

"Niangniang is angry, why is it so loud?"

When Zhang Ruoyuan heard this, he hurriedly covered his lips and chuckled.

"It's not a big deal, but now even my mother is alarmed, and it seems that she is willing to be hypocritical. ”

Gu's mother glanced at the beautiful woman in the bronze mirror who did not need to be decorated with balm, and her cheeks were smeared red in the tenderness, and she was relieved.

Niangniang has never liked rouge gouache, since she entered the wax moon, the queen was pitied by the queen, only after entering the palace on the fifteenth day of the new year, she did not put on makeup.

The prince has always been indifferent in terms of women, and there are very few ladies in the East Palace, and there are very few people who are qualified to go to the master. In addition, His Royal Highness is busy with government affairs, and Niangniang only cares about cooking wine and sleeping plums every day, and this fat powder does not stick to her.

When she was not out of the cabinet earlier, the charm of Niangniang's body was placed there, even if it was naturally carved and decorated, it could be regarded as complementing each other. But now is different from the past, as the head of the East Palace, his appearance is inevitably a little lighter.

It's normal to do it, but now Mama Zhen, who was transferred from the queen's mother, is the most respectful and respectful, and under her nose, she can't help but mention a few words.

It's just that her own mother is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, and it is not uncommon to have this one when she comes and goes.

"After all, that is the red man in front of the queen......"

It is precisely because of this that the wish is even more infallible. Zhang Ruoyuan fiddled with a cloisonne red coral ear bell in the gold box, and carefully gestured at the jade pendant-like earlobe.

Gu's mother thought for a moment and realized.

Mama Zhen is the mother of the country who served before she got married, and she is famous for her uprightness. For such a faithful person, of course, it is not possible to blindly hold it and get used to it.

But if it is beaten regardless of the severity of the beating, it will inevitably chill the heart of the queen mother and even the prince. After all, Mama Zhen has been on an errand in Fengqi Palace for nearly 30 years, and the prince can be regarded as the one she grew up watching, and her affection is always deeper than ordinary people.

Therefore, while reminding her of the difference between dignity and inferiority, the mother adopted her advice and dressed up. In the end, he specially handed over the dinner to her to prepare, and gave her a labor-saving and beautiful mistake to please the prince, so that Mama Zhen knew that the place she was in now was the East Palace, not the queen's Fengqi Palace.

And in the East Palace, the person who can give her decent honor is the crown princess.

Zhaoshui and Zhanxi glanced at each other, and admiration flashed in each other's eyes. Zhaoshui blinked his big eyes and couldn't help but praise.

"Niangniang is really far-sighted!"

Zhan Xi echoed thoughtfully: "Isn't that soon, Mama Zhen can be used by her mother?"

Zhang Ruoyuan glanced at the two maids behind her with a look of admiration, and shook her head helplessly and funny.

"Mama Zhen has been in Fengqi Palace for thirty years, and in the eyes of the queen, she is like a right-hand man, you say that such a person may be used by the palace?"

Zhanxi looked confused: "That lady is still ......"

Zhang Ruoyuan put on two ear bells, and saw the snow-white and greasy two-point red bean-sized coral ear beads on the opposite side, which attracted people's attention.

"Just because it can't be used by the palace doesn't mean it's useless. ”

Today's events, Mama Zhen will inevitably repeat them word for word, so that she will increase her favorability in the heart of the queen. From the perspective of the mother of a country, the small nature of her daughter's family is harmless, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and knows how to listen to other people's opinions. will not lose the royal spirit because the other party has a bad attack, which is qualified to become a well-deserved hostess of the East Palace.

Most importantly, the meticulous care reflected in her son's eating.

A daughter-in-law who is suitable for advance and retreat and knows the cold and heat, no mother-in-law will not like it. The queen is also a mother.

And she needs the queen's favor.

"According to the slave maid, it is only right for the mother to hurry up and conceive an eldest grandson. ”

Gu's mother is Zhang Ruoyuan's mother, from being at a loss when she first entered the East Palace, to taking power at this time. She has contributed a lot of advice along the way.

A lot of unspeakable words are always more reliable than others when they come out of my mother's mouth. And Zhang Ruoyuan also knows that this is the easiest and feasible way to do the current dilemma.

With the eldest grandson of the emperor, His Royal Highness's position as the prince of the country is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it for half a point.

With the eldest grandson of the emperor, the days of her hostess in the East Palace are truly smooth and prosperous.

The reason why she is so cautious and cautious is because she has no children.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is twenty and five, but no heirs were born in the East Palace, as the crown princess for three years, even the queen, who has always loved her very much, finally couldn't help it, and sent the first-class head of Fengqi Palace and three experienced grandmothers to personally help regulate her body and help her conceive.

Zhang Ruoyuan is very clear that this situation will only get worse. Today is to regulate the mother, tomorrow it is possible to send a bunch of bewitching and moving beautiful palace maids, and the day after tomorrow may be the daughter of a certain important minister as a side concubine.

After all, the prince has no children, and the country is ruined.

But it is extremely sad that even though it has reached the point where it is not permissible, she still can't make up her mind, and she is still not ready to have children for him.

Gu's mother couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Zhang Ruoyuan's expression.

"When you first got married, the prince took pity on your young age, and your love was not enough, and the slave could only be in a hurry.

Later, the slave and maid looked at it clearly, the prince obviously thought about you, and you always pretended not to know and hid.

In the past, you didn't follow it, but now it is rumored all over Kyoto that the prince has the goodness of the dragon/yang.

You have to listen to your mother's advice and give birth to a little grandson as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the prince's heart is cold, it will be difficult to cover the heat again. ”

Zhang Ruoyuan listened carefully for a while, and did not squeak, nor did he say that he agreed or disagreed. Gu's mother knew that she was entangled in the moment, so she went out with the water and the stream, and hesitated for a moment after looking around.

"Niangniang still can't let go of the death of Princess Yuan?"

When Zhang Ruoyuan heard this, his bright eyes gradually became mist, and his delicate and peerless face was so calm that he did not touch the slightest emotion.

"What if you put it down, what if you can't let it go?"

Her slender white fingertips slowly held Gu's mother's hand, and the bright red danko on her nails glowed with a cold and strange light. After a long time, she said leisurely.

"Mom always blames Yuan'er for not caring about His Highness, what about my sister?

Three from the four virtues, only obeying, taking care of the East Palace, giving birth to heirs, what sister did not do enough for His Royal Highness?

But what will happen in the end?

A glass of wine, a stillborn baby, one corpse and two lives!"

Gu's mother covered Zhang Ruoyuan's lips tightly with both hands, afraid that she would spit out something shocking again, and persuaded tremblingly.

"My good mother, never say this again. Don't confide half a word in front of the crown prince!"

Regarding all the things that day, starting from having no choice to put on the phoenix crown and enter the East Palace. Zhang Ruo wished to chew it up and swallow it in his stomach, rotting in the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, it is just a short-term out-of-control catharsis after long-term depression, how to go down calmly and calmly, she knows very well, and when she calms down, Zhang Ruoyuan nodded with a wry smile.

"Mom, don't worry, since I didn't say it at the beginning, I won't say it in the future. ”

Whether she is happy or angry, love or hate, she is destined to snuggle up with him, life and death. In that case, what reason did she have not to be nice to herself, and why not be nice to him?

She will be good to him, it has nothing to do with love, just because he is her husband, and her future ......-
