Chapter 8 Entering the Palace
This time, along with the reward, there was also a letter.
"Mrs. Tai," Manager Qu said with a smile, "The emperor has also given several names to the two little masters, which one do you like?"
Although it is a supreme honor to give a name to a child, how can a clear-eyed person not know that Su Zong dislikes Cui Jin and does not know a few big characters, for fear of giving the child a bad name. This operation is not the first time for Su Zong, not to mention the children of the Hou Mansion, even Cui Jin's name was changed by Su Zong.
To Cui Zhiwei's delight, Su Zong's name for her included the word "Zhiwei". I was afraid that my grandmother would choose something else, and when I heard these two words, I screamed "oh oh" and clapped my hands happily.
Seeing her happy, Qi asked casually, "Good granddaughter, do you like the name Zhiwei?"
"Oh, oh. Of course she did.
Fortunately, the Qi family finally fulfilled her wish and chose these two words as her name, and she will still be called Cui Zhiwei in this life. Qi chose the word "Zhili" to the little fat man.
After the Qi family left with the head of Qu, Cui Zhiyi still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten by fat. Time passed unconsciously in the noisy quarrel between Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhili.
With Cui Zhiwei as a link, the relationship between Qi and Cui Jin's mother and son has improved a lot. And because Empress Feng likes Cui Zhiwei very much, the Qi family often takes her into the palace, which makes the ladies and even the princesses in the harem envious.
"I really don't understand, there are so many princesses in the palace, why does the queen like the country girl in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion alone?" When I heard that the queen summoned Cui Zhiwei again, Chen Meiren hatefully handed over the handkerchief in her hand and complained to the fifth princess.
The fifth princess, Jiang Xuanzhu, said with a sincere face: "Miss Cui is chubby, and she is very pink. He added, "Mother, she is the only daughter of the Marquis of Yongchang, not a country girl." ”
She is eight years old this year, and Chen Meiren is her biological mother. It's a pity that Chen Meiren has an ordinary appearance, a low ranking, and no door guard with a mouth, and she has offended people a lot over the years, making her a princess who is not favored.
"Who doesn't know that the Marquis of Yongchang is a poor boy in the countryside? If it weren't for the fact that his mother was a nurse for the emperor, he wouldn't know where to shave. ”
"Mother, can't you be quiet?" Jiang Xuanzhu was so anxious that she almost stomped her feet, "Don't you know how much your father respects Mrs. Shujing? If you let your father know that you criticize Mrs. Tai, you can't punish you." "There are no such examples in the palace.
"Isn't it just us? Although her mouth was hard, Chen Meiren's voice was suppressed. Then he urged impatiently, "What are you still rubbing here? Why don't you hurry up to Fengxiang Palace? It's too late, the queen should be angry." ”
Jiang Xuanzhu looked up at Chen Meiren and asked weakly, "Is my daughter really going?"
"If you don't show your face, who will remember who you are? If you want to say, it's also your bad life, if you can give birth to the queen and Cheng Guifei's belly, you don't have to please a country girl now. ”
Her mother is like this, while she looks down on Miss Yongchang Hou, she asks her to please others in order to compete for favor. It's not that she doesn't like Cui Zhiwei, on the contrary, that little girl is good-looking and speaks sweetly, which is very likable.
It's just that she can't stand the second princess born to Concubine Shu. Because the eldest princess born to Concubine Cheng has already been married, and now that she is older, Concubine Shu is the highest among the princesses, so she often bullies people.
But now, if she doesn't go, her mother will have to cry and make trouble. In desperation, Jiang Xuanzhu simply cleaned up and took a palace maid to Fengxiang Palace, where the queen lived.
At this time, Fengxiang Palace was extremely lively. The emperor of the main hall was chatting with the Qi family, full of admiration and longing. In the side hall, Empress Feng held Cui Zhiwei in her arms and kept feeding.
While feeding, she said distressedly: "Why haven't you seen you for a few days, and you have lost a lot of weight?
Could it be that Empress Feng suffered from eye disease at a young age? She was about to become fat, and even said that she had lost weight? Speaking of this, it was also what made Cui Zhiwei feel depressed. I think that at the beginning, she was not a little thinner than the third brother of the little fat man. Just because he was the benchmark there, the family has launched a fattening action against her in the past few years, and she has been fed from a small point to a big meat ball.
"I've always had a good meal. Cui Zhiwei swallowed the pastry in his mouth before retorting, "It's just that the pastries in Fengxiang Palace are too delicious, so I ate a few more bites." Because of Empress Feng's insistence, she dared to call herself "I" in front of Empress Feng. Otherwise, it is particularly difficult to say that there is a "courtier's daughter and a people's daughter".
"If you like it, you can eat a few more pieces. Empress Feng smiled and handed her another piece.
Cui Zhiwei touched his round belly, and waved his hand again and again to beg for mercy, "My stomach is full now, and I really can't eat." If she hadn't had the foresight to know that Empress Feng would feed her every time she entered the palace, she begged her grandfather to tell her grandmother to eat a few less bites this morning, and it would be impossible to eat a few more pastries to make Empress Feng happy.
Empress Feng couldn't help but smile when she saw her little expression begging for mercy, and said with a doting face: "Then wait for a while before eating." "Put the pastry back on the plate.
Cui Zhiwei grinned, "Aunt Queen is the best." "The sycophants are top-notch.
Jiang Xuanzhen, the ten-year-old second princess sitting below, pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Sycophant." When Empress Feng looked over, she hurriedly said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming just right, let Erchen take Zhiwei and a few younger sisters to the Imperial Garden to play, right?"
"Zhiwei, do you want to go to the Imperial Garden to play?" Without immediately agreeing to the second princess's proposal, Empress Feng asked Cui Zhiwei first.
Cui Zhiwei shook his head, "Don't go." "The imperial garden is good, but even she, an outsider, is tired of turning crooked, haven't these guys who have been in the palace all the year round have turned enough? However, it doesn't make any sense to stay here and listen to a few palace concubines' compliments, so he said: "I miss the prince's brother, can I go and see him?"
At the mention of her son, the corners of Empress Feng's mouth rose slightly, "If your prince brother knows that you miss him, he must be very happy." ”
"Queen Mother," hearing that Cui Zhiwei was going to see Jiang Xuanjun, the second princess Jiang Xuanzhen hurriedly said, "Erchen also misses the prince's brother, and Erchen is also going." ”
Hearing that she was going, there were a few princesses who were eager to try, and Queen Feng put her face away, "Jun'er is weak, so it's better to have fewer people to disturb her." ”
"Then how can she go?" Although the second princess did not name her, it was obvious who this "she" was referring to.
