Chapter 805: Doting
February 16 is Bai Chenghuan's birthday, as the queen of Daqi, her birthday is also a thousand autumn festival to be celebrated by the people of Daqi.
Although the emperor has always claimed that the treasury is tight and he can't even take out the money for the draft, the emperor is still surprisingly generous in dealing with the queen's Qianqiu Festival.
The emperor not only wanted to hold a thousand autumn banquet in the palace to feast the clan and civil and military officials, but also asked the vassal kings from all over the country to enter Beijing to congratulate the empress on her birthday, and also gave generous gifts to the Cheng'en Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion, showing his importance and favor to the subjects of the world.
All of a sudden, the capital was vigorously lively again, and the inside and outside of the imperial city were even more colorful, and there was a festive color.
Duchess Weiguo and Madame Qiuguo are now idle and go to the palace to see their daughter and grandson, knowing that they are in love with each other, and they don't feel anything wrong with this, and they are very satisfied.
However, after Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Zhongyibo, learned about this, she secretly hated her daughter for not being blessed.
If Wanrou could have entered the palace as a concubine and concubine, such glory might not have fallen on her, but unfortunately it was cheaper than Bai Chenghuan.
Thinking like this in his heart, when he spoke in front of Duchess Weiguo, Zhang couldn't help but feel a little sour:
"The queen is only twenty years old this year, right? At this age, she celebrates her birthday in such a big way...... You don't like to hear it, but it's a bit of a blessing......"
You must know that these elders, who are less than forty years old, are difficult to live a long life with great fanfare.
The sourness in these words simply made the Duchess of Weiguo feel angry.
But after going through so many things in the past year, she is not the same person who used to be angry when she disagreed, so she looked at Zhang with a smile:
"Since my sister-in-law knows that I don't like to hear this, then don't say it. If you want to say that the teacher moves the people, there is also a battle, such a battle is a little more grand than the emperor's longevity last winter, but then again, this is also the emperor's respect for the queen's mother, how can it be said that it is a blessing?"
On the other hand, Mama Gao also smiled:
"Mrs. Zhongyi Bo said with a smile, Mrs. can also take it seriously? The queen mother is the mother of all people, the blessing is profound, far more than comparable to others, where can a small birthday be folded!"
This master and servant squeezed Zhang's face blue like a double reed, and wanted to brush his sleeves away like before, but thinking about it, the eldest son is still following Xu Chenglin to seek military merits in the southeast, so he had to press down his anger, endure his unhappiness, and smile awkwardly:
"It's just a joke, and you take it seriously...... I also heard someone talk about it, and I said they were here at the time. ”
"Really?"
Duchess Weiguo lifted her eyelids, and did not poke her:
"In the future, if anyone dares to chew the root of her tongue in front of her sister-in-law, her sister-in-law should come and tell me, I will go and talk to the emperor, and I can't let the queen be slandered in the back in vain!"
"That's nature. ”
Zhang took a sip of tea, didn't dare to mention this stubble anymore, and instead discussed with Duchess Weiguo about giving a birthday gift to the queen's mother.
When Duchess Weiguo saw that she knew that she had learned to be obedient, she no longer pursued it.
Cheng Huan became the queen and was deeply favored by the emperor, and there were many people with red eyes, but now seeing her in the limelight, the villain is naturally angry.
Although Zhang's words are sour and jealous, there is some truth in them.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
What's more, now Cheng Huan is not only in the limelight, but also a favorite harem.
This has always been a big taboo.
With such a hidden worry in his heart, on the day of the Qianqiu Festival, after the Duchess of Weiguo recited the menstrual period to her hard-working child for a long time, she still entered the palace after thinking about it.
On the day of February 16, the weather was excellent, the blue sky of the capital was covered with cotton-like clouds, the spring breeze was smooth, not dry or cold, and the carriage of the noble family who entered the palace to congratulate the thousand autumns once again blocked the streets of the capital.
Outside the imperial city, there has been a long queue of carriages and horses since early in the morning, waiting to be inspected and entered the palace.
As soon as the carriage of the Weiguo Mansion came over, a sharp-eyed little eunuch saw it and immediately ran forward to greet it, and the carriages of the other families all retreated, letting the carriage of the Weiguo Mansion pass first.
When Duchess Weiguo entered the palace gate, she had already seen Shao Hui coming out along Taiming Lake from a distance.
"The slave has seen Madame!"
Shao Hui saluted and said with a smile:
"Mrs. Qiuguo has just come, Mrs. is just right to pass at this time, and the queen is waiting!"
Duchess Weiguo was in a somewhat complicated mood, nodded and walked forward.
She didn't debunk Shao Hui's polite words.
Because she had already told Cheng Huan before that she would not enter the palace today.
Although she was reluctant to raise her daughter for sixteen years, to be precise, the sixteen years she had given with a loving heart, it did not mean that she could forget her hard-working child.
She still doesn't know where Cheng Huan came from, but her child is not on this day, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life.
The queen's Qianqiu banquet was held in the Guangyuan Palace, the inside and outside of the hall have been properly arranged, and the incense burner vase, gold cups and silver cups have been placed in an orderly manner in the vast open space in front of the stone steps.
But Shao Hui did not bring Duchess Weiguo directly to her seat, but directly brought Duchess Weiguo into the inner hall under the envious eyes of the women.
Bai Chenghuan and the Li family, as well as the three of Rongyang County Lord, are crying and crying non-stop.
Ah Yong had to take the queen's phoenix crown on Bai Chenghuan's bun, Bai Chenghuan was going to take it off for him to play with, Li didn't allow it, and Ah Yong began to cry.
"It's just a phoenix crown, if he wants to play, he will play with him......" Since the matter of the nurse, Bai Chenghuan has been full of guilt for his son, and he is almost obedient.
But Li couldn't see her doting on children like this:
"Huan Niang, Ah Yong is the eldest son of the emperor, and he can only be stricter than ordinary children, where can he be so pampered?"
"But Ayong is not yet a year old, what does he know?"
Bai Chenghuan looked left and right at his son, whose little face was white and tender, and his eyes were dark and bright, and he couldn't bear to go against his wishes.
Although she is her own daughter, after becoming the queen, the Li family can't argue with her as before, so she can only say helplessly:
"Let's not say that it's good for you to dote on the eldest son of the emperor so much, let's just say that your hair bun has been combed for at least half an hour, and the ministers and ladies outside have arrived one after another, you take off this phoenix crown and give it to him to play, then you plan to go out to see people?"
Bai Chenghuan was a little embarrassed at this time, and when Ah Yong saw that his mother didn't give it again, he covered his eyes and began to cry.
While crying, he secretly looked at the three people around him through his fingers to see if they would come to coax him.
The county lord of Rongyang was distressed on the side, but the queen mother and Mrs. Qiuguo were arguing over this matter, but she was not good at stepping forward.
While he was making a fuss, Ah Yong saw Duchess Weiguo walk in, and Ayong, who could occasionally pop out a few words in his small mouth, cried even louder, and shouted "Grandma, Grandma" while crying, and stretched out his hand to Duchess Weiguo.
Where is the Duchess of Weiguo willing to cry like this, full of worries, she suddenly didn't know where to fly, and walked over a few steps to hold Ayong in her arms and coaxed her.
"What's going on? What does Ayon want?"
Ah Yong turned his head and pointed at Bai Chenghuan babbling, but he didn't understand.
Li could only amusefully explain the matter.
When Duchess Weiguo heard this, she directly called Shao Hui over:
"First take the eldest son of the emperor down and pack up, and I'm going to go out to meet people in a while, it's impossible to be so full of snot and tears. ”
Shao Hui looked at Bai Chenghuan, and when she saw that she also nodded, she hugged Ah Yong and went out with someone.
