Chapter 359: Concubine Mo
"It's not that I won't let her walk around, I think I'll wait for the three rounds of wine at the banquet, and then personally accompany her for a few laps and see Shanglin Yuan!" Sheng Weiqiao tugged at the corners of her mouth and prevaricated, "Who knew that she wouldn't be able to sit still at this moment." ”
"You haven't been here either, you may not be able to accompany her more conveniently than Shuang Lian to accompany her!" Cheng Yang Hou's only concubine, Meng Bixun, Miss Meng Qi, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "It's better to let Shuang Lian accompany the county lord of Jiaxiang to walk around the neighborhood first, and when the atmosphere on the table relaxes, let's go out together...... I remember that Chunbo Lake was carved out of a piece?"
The latter sentence was asked to Queen Meng.
The queen nodded and said, "The queen mother doesn't like noisy, so the festival banquet is scheduled to be held in Lingbo Palace." But Concubine Shu and Shu Zhaoyi wanted to see the boat race, so the Son of Heaven ordered someone to row out a piece of Chunbo Lake, get two dragon boats into the lake, and plan to take their sisters to see it at that time. ”
When Empress Meng said this, her expression and tone were calm, not at all like she was talking about her husband and her husband's concubine, just like talking about other people's affairs, obviously she didn't take Emperor Xuanjing to heart at all.
However, since Emperor Xuanjing established his succession, not to mention that according to the ancestral system, he spent the night in Wangchun Palace in the middle of the month, and he didn't even stay in Wangchun Palace on the day of the wedding, and left as soon as the ceremony was over.
At this time, at the festival banquet attended by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and their dependents, Emperor Xuanjing ignored the requirements of his biological mother and ignored the official marriage of the successors, and favored the Shu sisters alone...... Meng Bixun and others were also embarrassed by reason.
Meng Bi choked for a while before he said, "I heard that Chunbo Lake will set aside a piece for fun today...... I don't know about the boat race!"
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and diverted the topic: "Speaking of the Queen Mother, I don't know when the Queen Mother will arrive?"
She was quite speechless in her heart, not because Empress Meng was snubbed by Emperor Xuanjing, because Empress Meng's marriage to Emperor Xuanjing was originally a purely political marriage, and there was no affection between the old husband and the young wife, it was purely a combination and compromise of interests.
At this time, Emperor Xuanjing ignored Empress Meng, which was actually a good thing in Sheng Weiqiao's opinion.
After all, judging from the fact that the Shu sisters tried their best to lose the queen's face at the beginning of the queen's marriage into the palace, Ershu was very concerned about Meng Biyun's occupancy of the second position.
After that, he has been with Queen Meng's well water and did not violate the river water, and eighty percent of it was also because Queen Meng didn't care about their offense and chose to calm down. They were afraid of Meng's power and did not continue to provoke.
At this time, if Emperor Xuanjing's brain is wrong, and he suddenly notices Empress Meng, after Er Shu overturns the vinegar jar, who knows what tricks will be tossed?
Meng Biyun is of course the queen, but she has only been in the palace for a few days, and her age is more than enough to be Ershu's daughter, Sheng Weiqiao is naturally worried that she can't fight Ershu's all-out palace secret hand.
Sheng Weiqiao felt irritated at the moment, although this was the first time she had entered the Lin Yuan, she also knew that Chunbo Lake was the place where the army was stationed and where the sailors were located.
Even if Chang'an Zuo's rule is still clear, there have been no bandits who need to use water masters in the past few decades...... But Chunbo Lake is still a military camp after all.
The barracks are heavy, and the idlers stop.
This has been a recognized rule since ancient times.
Emperor Xuanjing, in order to please his concubine, put the boat race in this lake, even if he should choose a marginal position, but it also shows the emperor's mediocrity.
However, Sheng Weiqiao thought about it, and what was the location of the military camp used for boat racing to please the Shu sisters?
This one does not hesitate to cut off his children and grandchildren, but he also has a deep love for the Shu sisters!
"I really can't think of it myself!" Sheng Weiqiao sighed deeply and said secretly, "So I really feel more and more that General Zhou died unjustly! It's also my grandfather who is too decent, if I am my grandfather, when the holy decree of General Zhou arrives in northern Xinjiang, I should kill the envoy and persuade General Zhou to rebel......
Thinking of this, her face stiffened slightly, and her heart said such a big rebellious idea...... How could it be that I came up with it?!
Although her father Sheng Lan's morality is more flexible, but her grandfather Sheng is definitely loyal to the court, it is said that the roots are so upright, how can she, the old lady, look at the granddaughter who grew up, not be crooked enough to think about "killing the messenger, persuading the boss, and plotting to usurp the throne", right?
"Sleeping cranes...... Hehe!" Sheng Weiqiao quickly thought of the reason, his eyes were a little cold, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said secretly, "This is really a black ...... I didn't even know how to lie before, but now ...... Murder and arson, burning, looting, raising the flag to rebel...... Anything is going to happen. ”
She squeezed her palm hard, forcing herself not to think about the person, and quietly participated in the small talk in front of her.
…… A moment later, Empress Dowager Meng arrived surrounded by a group of palace people.
Empress Meng took the lead in getting up to greet her.
"You guys came so early, this young is good!" Empress Dowager Meng smiled and ordered everyone to be given seats, and when a group of people sat down, she said with a smile, "This spirit, our old bones can't be compared, sister, don't you say?"
Suddenly hearing the Queen Mother call "sister", Sheng Weiqiao was slightly stunned, and only then did she notice that the Queen Mother sat down with an old woman about the same age as the Queen Mother.
This old woman doesn't know whether her heart is like ashes or deliberately touching the queen mother's moldy head, now the queen mother is wearing a purple bottom pinched gold thread Zhai clothes, but she is gray and a widow's outfit, two hairpins inserted in the bun to fix the hairpin, and they are actually silver hairpins with no ornaments.
So it's no wonder that everyone found her when they heard the Queen Mother's words and greet...... After all, at this time, even the little palace maids around the Queen Mother are dressed brighter than her.
It's just that the old woman's somewhat indifferent and indifferent face, although it has wrinkled due to her age, she can still see the delicate and moving outline of her youth.
Sheng Weiqiao peeked at her for a while, and found that her outline was a little familiar, and she suddenly came to her senses, immediately turned her head away, and bit her lip.
Sure enough, the old woman said lightly: "What my sister says is what it is, but I just want to know, my sister promised to call me over to see if it was true?"
"My sister said this, as if the mourning family had lied to you. Empress Dowager Meng took a sip of the tea bowl, put it down, and said slowly, "You really care about it, but you are confused: that child is the nephew of the Son of Heaven, and he will also call the mourning family 'imperial grandmother'." It's embarrassing to be like those ordinary courtiers, arranged to go outside the palace or even in a corner?"
The Queen Mother pointed to the main hall next to her, "When the banquet begins, let's go out to sit together, Gaomi and Guangling must be sitting at the head of the Son of Heaven.
Other people who have never seen this old woman, and don't know that Rong Sleeping Crane looks like his own grandmother, also know that this old woman is the biological mother of King Gaomi, Concubine Mo.
After Concubine Mo went to the first emperor, because her mother was more expensive than her son, although she did not say that she had stolen the limelight of Empress Dowager Meng, she did not say that she hid in the side hall of Xinshou Palace and did not go out during the New Year's holidays.
But after the "epidemic" occurred in the Gaomi Palace, he and Princess Gaomi suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly appeared at this moment, except for Empress Meng, who had known for a long time, everyone present was a little surprised.
However, Concubine Mo didn't care about everyone at all, and only said coldly: "It's really embarrassing for my sister, after so many years, I still remember me, the person who is waiting for death!"
She was very resentful in her words, but Empress Dowager Meng still smiled: "Since the first emperor ruthlessly left us people, who is not a surviving person? You also know that the first emperor liked her the most when he was there, but after seeing her, he was not in a hurry to summon us to serve, so he waited and waited day by day, and decades passed like this. ”
The Queen Mother's tone was very gentle, even when she said "the first emperor liked her the most when he was there", she still smiled and her eyes were soft, without the slightest jealousy and resentment, but the people present, who had never heard that when the first emperor was there, Concubine Rou used all the means available to torture the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Meng in order to make her own King Guangling sit on the throne of the prince?
And after Empress Dowager Meng lived in Xinshou Palace, the first thing she did was to force Concubine Rou to be martyred for the first emperor?
At this moment, seeing the gentle, gentle, tolerant and generous appearance of Empress Dowager Meng, everyone felt that a cold air rose from their spines, and they subconsciously held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.
In the spacious hall, for a while, I only heard the queen mother's soft reminder as if she was very concerned: "Now the people who have been left behind by the first emperor are our sisters, I don't remember you, who else can I remember? Oh yes, the king of Mizhen County, is our new grandson, because he has become accustomed to the name given by the family who adopted him, so he is still called 'sleeping crane' at this time, but he doesn't use his real name 'Qinghui'." My sister has to remember it, so as not to turn around and shout wrong, the child can't react, I don't know if you are calling him, everyone ignores it, and everyone thinks he doesn't want to see you!"
"As my sister said, we, the surviving people, are just waiting for the first emperor to summon us!" Concubine Mo heard the malice under her gentleness, and a trace of anger flashed on her already gloomy face, and she sneered slightly, "Today, thanks to my sister, I, the old woman who was originally dedicated to waiting for death in the side hall of Xinshou Palace, can take a look at my son's exiled son-in-law with my own eyes, and after seeing the first emperor in the future, I will always be able to explain." ”
Ironically, I am not treated by my grandchildren?
I have grandchildren, what about you?
As for what your mother and son have done over the years, you will also have the face to see the first emperor in the future?!
When Empress Dowager Meng heard this ridicule, her face sank with a smile all the time, but soon she was nothing: "My sister thinks that she can explain to the first emperor, and the mourning family is relieved to be a sister...... It's not in vain that the mourning family deliberately chose this day and took the lead in rushing here to Shanglin Yuan, so as to teach your ancestors and grandchildren to untie the knot in their hearts!"
“…… What do you mean?!" Concubine Mo was in the harem of the first emperor, although the limelight was not as good as that of Concubine Rou, but it should not be underestimated, at least at that time, Empress Dowager Meng never dreamed of having the status of Concubine Mo.
She relies not only on beauty, but also on the city government, although her face has not been good-looking, but because she is too lazy to hide her mood, not because she can't control herself, after listening to the Queen Mother's words at this moment, I don't know why, my eyes are Yiling!
Then the emotions under Concubine Mo's eyebrows and eyes converged completely, and the old woman who was unintentionally dressed only nodded slightly, not even moving her fingers, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed from the inconspicuous of Fang Cai to the existence that no one can ignore, looking at it on the same level as the Empress Dowager Meng who is high on the phoenix seat, and the trance is that when the first emperor was still there, she was proud of her arrogance and self-confidence when she walked in the deep palace with the position of Xiuyi, and the edge was not triggered!
Empress Dowager Meng looked at her as if she was facing a great enemy, squinted her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, but she smiled proudly!
