Chapter 722: Jin Jian
The dowry girls around him have a lifelong support, and Qin Hanzhen is still very happy in his heart.
She told Lianshi about Agui's marriage proposal, and Lianshi was not surprised at all, but was a little surprised. She knew that there was indeed a story between these two people. Eighty percent is when Agui has been back to the palace a few times recently, and he has some contact with Lianshi, and he is tempted, right? The marriage of ancient people does not seem to need a long time in the process of falling in love, they understand each other clearly, see each other a few times, and feel that they are satisfied, so they directly talk about marriage. However, this also seems to show that Agui is serious about Lianshi on the other hand. Their wishful thinking is a good marriage, where does Qin Han really have a reason not to welcome it?
In late October, Qin Hanzhen ended the five-month period of small merit and filial piety - the small merit and filial piety period shared by Xu and Qin Song was superimposed, which was actually nearly six months - and then he had to be busy with the work of the Emperor Taishang's longevity ceremony. However, even in her busy schedule, she did not forget to instruct her subordinates to invite a Mr. Yin and Yang to choose an auspicious day for Agui and Lianshi and officially set a marriage alliance.
Zhao Mo thanked Agui for his loyalty for many years, and this was the first person to marry among his henchmen, so he planned to organize a wedding for Agui. Qin Hanzhen's side naturally couldn't oppose Zhao Mo's suggestion. Therefore, the wedding needs to be prepared for a while, and it is estimated that it will have to wait until after the first month of next year.
However, the waiting time is longer, just in time to prepare a dowry for Lianshi. Qin Hanzhen had already informed the relatives of Lianshi in the Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion, and everyone was happy for her, even the seven aunts and eight aunts were clamoring to prepare a rich dowry for her. Coupled with Qin Hanzhen's reward, Lianshi is already destined to marry very beautifully. Not only the palace of Suyang County, but also the mansion of the two marquis of the Qin family, and the second room, but all the girls and daughters-in-law who heard the news, there was no one who did not envy her.
Lianshi is usually quiet, always immersed in work, and his popularity is very good. She didn't get impetuous because she was about to marry a decent and powerful steward in the palace, anyway, she worked harder, and took the initiative to take the place of Lian Rui, who was sick, so that Lian Rui could rest and recuperate. Feng'er was afraid that she would work too hard, so she persuaded her to take a break more, and the task of replacing the shift could be shared by everyone. She said: "The princess asked me to do it before the year, and I don't have to come back after the New Year, and stay at home to get married." I don't have many days to wait in front of the princess, so let me do more. Don't worry, I know everything in my heart, and I won't be tired of myself. In fact, there are many of us, but we don't have much to do, even if one person does the work of two people, how tired can we be?"
Seeing that she insisted, Feng'er didn't persuade her more, but just told the little girls in the courtyard to help the lotus more solidly, and the little girls naturally had nothing to do. Lotus Ye, Lotus Yi, and Bai Qiao saw Feng'er take people to help Lianshi do things, and they also quietly shared part of the work.
When Lianye went to investigate Lianrui's illness in private, he persuaded her: "You are just a little cold, you will be fine if you raise it, hurry back to be on an errand, and do less here." If people see that you are not seriously ill and suspect that you are sick because Lianshi has a good family affair and is unhappy, won't you let people gossip about you?
Lian Rui coughed a few times, then glared at her: "I'm really sick! and I'm not pretending! Besides, I'm not angry because Lianshi has a good family, I ......" She bit her lip and couldn't go on. She couldn't admit that she had been hit. Although she is only mediocre to your stewardship, the other party is indeed a good candidate for a husband. I thought that there was no drama on the Shou steward's side, and she could still think of ideas on your steward's side, but Lianshi caught people without making a sound, and she was still dreaming!
Lianye didn't know what Lian Rui was thinking, and still said: "I don't care if you are really sick or fake, you have to get better quickly, don't ask Lian Shi to do your job anymore, and drag down the big guys to help you work." Also, in the future, you won't look at Feng'er unpleasantly. You always pick on Feng'er's thorns, but she is generous, has a cool temperament, and treats people sincerely, and there is nothing bad about it. If I were the shou manager, I would like her more than be fascinated by your courtesy. ”
"You-" Lian Rui was almost by the lotus leaves. Lianye got up and walked out of the house after dropping the words, telling Lian Rui that she couldn't scold if she wanted to, so she could only turn her head and cover her head with the quilt to sulk, and when the anger subsided, she began to slowly reflect on herself.
The careful thinking between the girls, Qin Hanzhen naturally didn't know. As long as they don't make trouble, she will always give them a lot of freedom, and she doesn't control them strictly. Besides, because of the longevity of the emperor, she still has a lot of things to do. She hadn't been in the palace for nearly half a year, and now she naturally had to go to the palaces in addition to clothes. The Empress Dowager needs to go to ask for peace, the princess and the others also have to say hello, the county lord of Minshun also needs to visit, and more importantly, the new queen Cai Yuanzhen, Qin Hanzhen also has to go to the first meeting.
Now the pattern of the palace has changed. After the new monarch ascended the throne, the empress dowager and a group of imperial concubines and concubines still stayed in Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace. The Emperor Taishang took refuge in the newly renovated Ningshou Palace in the east of the palace, but moved all the harems to the Shou'an Palace behind the Shoukang Palace, and asked them to accompany the Empress Dowager and others to get clean. The Qianqing Palace, located in the center of the imperial palace, was naturally occupied by the new monarch. The six houses on the left and right were also vacated. Since Kunning Palace was no longer inhabitable, the new empress Cai Yuanzhen moved into the neighboring Chengqian Palace. Xinjun's only harem concubine, Concubine Chen, stayed in Yikun Palace. The rest of the palace is now vacant, except for a small number of palace people and eunuchs to guard it, there is no one else.
Therefore, now the palace is still a little quieter.
Qin Hanzhen walked all the way over, only to feel that there were a lot fewer people in the palace, and expected that the palace first let a group of palace people out, and then moved the palace or something, no wonder it was so quiet. She is still on the main road, and she is led by palace people, so it's just a matter of returning. If it's a remote place, even in broad daylight, it should be a little scary, right?
Qin Hanzhen thought about it for a while, and then saw Concubine Chen walking over from the direction of Chengqian Palace with a group of people, as if she had just asked Empress Cai for peace and was about to go back to her palace. Concubine Chen had a good complexion, and she was dressed very decently, with a smile on her face, chatting with the palace people behind her. They are followed by the nurse, and the nurse is holding the child, which must be the second daughter of the emperor who is not yet a year old.
Concubine Chen naturally recognized Qin Hanzhen, and when she saw her, she greeted her with a smile: "Princess Suyang, is this going to invite the queen mother? ”
Qin Hanzhen thanked her with a smile, politely accosted her a few words, and praised the little princess a few more words, before saying goodbye to each other.
Although she is not familiar with Concubine Chen, Qin Hanzhen can also see that her good looks and good mood are not pretended, and she is not reluctant at all. It can be seen that she and Cai Yuanzhen, the latter concubine, get along quite well. As a woman married to the emperor, it is already good to be able to live such a quiet life. There are fewer people in the harem, and the concubines are more simple and honest, which is really a blessing.
Qin Han sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. She just quietly followed the palace people to Chengqian Palace, and saw Cai Yuanzhen, the queen of Cai, who had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.
When Empress Cai saw Qin Hanzhen, her eyes burst with joy, and she stood up to greet her. Qin Hanzhen hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed down: "Concubine Qin, the princess of Suyang County, meet the queen." "Say it and make a big salute.
Queen Cai hurriedly hugged her and said, "It's not an outsider, let's be polite!"
Qin Hanzhen is actually not interested in worshipping around, but this time is different from the past, living in the clan, there are some rules that still have to be followed, even if it is just to protect himself and avoid the suspicion of the superiors, as well as unnecessary gossip.
She very solemnly declined Empress Cai's grace and said, "Etiquette cannot be abolished." The concubines knew that the queen was lenient and compassionate, but they couldn't rely on the grace of the queen to neglect the courtesy. If you develop a habit and be rude to your mother in front of others in the future, wouldn't it be the source of trouble? The concubines understood the mother's intentions and were grateful, but the more this is the case, the more they must abide by the rules and be clear and proportionate. ”
What she meant, Empress Cai naturally understood, couldn't help sighing, stood in place with some uneasiness, and received Qin Hanzhen's gift. After her big ceremony was finished, Queen Cai immediately helped her up, smiled and led her to the tea table to sit down: "Okay, now that the national rites and family rituals have been completed, and the rules have been fulfilled, no one will be rambling about anything." You and I are not outsiders, but now we are even more close to each other, and we should be more casual. There are no outsiders in my palace now, so you don't have to worry about someone talking too much. ”
After Qin Hanzhen entered the door, he found that the people in the house now, except for Cai Yuanzhen's girls, were the two familiar maids from the former East Palace, who were Xinjun's henchmen, and naturally they were also sent by Xinjun to Empress Cai. For the granddaughter of Xinjun's uncle, these two maids naturally won't chew much. Qin Hanzhen can indeed take it easy.
She smiled, and according to what Queen Cai said, she relaxed her posture, no longer straightened her waist, and spoke solemnly. She asked Queen Cai in a low voice: "After Niangniang enters the palace, can you still get used to it?"
Empress Cai sighed and smiled: "Except that I can't go out, there is nothing on the side, I am almost used to it." She held Qin Hanzhen's hand, "I want to thank you." If you hadn't told me those things, I wouldn't have gotten used to it so quickly, and maybe I'd have had to make some jokes and settle some grudges. Even the county lord of Minshun will not be as harmonious as it is now. ”
Qin Hanzhen did mention to Queen Cai the likes and taboos of the allergic Shun County Lord, and it seemed that he had used it. She smiled and said, "It's a great thing that the mother can live in harmony with the county lord and the royal family is in harmony." The concubine's heart also rejoiced. ”
She told Queen Cai again: "The concubine's sister-in-law Yu has also been thinking about Niangniang, but unfortunately it is inconvenient at the moment, so I have to wait for next year's filial piety to come and ask Niangniang to say goodbye." ”
Empress Cai sighed: "I have always been concerned about you." Everything is fine in the palace, but if you want to see your relatives and friends again, it's not as convenient as before......" A hint of gloom flashed between her eyebrows, but she quickly smiled again, "Don't mention this." Recently, I began to borrow books from the palace collection, and I found many precious ancient books, and I couldn't wait to live in the library hall! The emperor was afraid that I would not even eat because I would patronize and read, so he gave me an excellent guqin for my amusement. The sound of the piano was so beautiful that I had only seen it in my life. It's rare for you to come, why don't you enjoy it with me?"
Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for it." With an enthusiastic face, he accompanied Queen Cai and appreciated the guqin.
