Chapter 298: Lonely Deep Palace
The queen called, of course, Mrs. Sheng couldn't continue to talk to her granddaughter.
It's just that although Sheng Weiqiao met with Queen Meng, who was still Miss Meng Shishi, in the side hall of Xinshou Palace last time, the queen was very kind and considerate, but now Sheng Sleeping Crane's life experience has been exposed, and Zheng Guogong, the biological father of Queen Meng, asked the Sheng family yesterday, this time, whether there is still the treatment of the last time, it is difficult to say.
Therefore, when Sheng Weiqiao returned to the Red Pavilion to freshen up and dress up, he was quite apprehensive.
Not only she was uneasy, but the Sheng and Xu families were also worried, and the Nan family even wanted to accompany her into the palace, but the lieutenant who came to pick up Sheng Weiqiao politely refused very firmly: "The queen has always loved purity, and even the concubines are exempted from asking for peace, and today a lady will only say that Miss Sheng San is invited to the palace for a meeting, please don't embarrass the slave!"
After Sheng Weiqiao came out, he learned that he had to comfort everyone a few words, and followed the lieutenant to the car and went out.
The residence of the queens of the previous dynasties is far from the location of Xinshou Palace.
However, because the road along the way is basically a roadway, under the high walls, there is no difference except for the different turns...... At least in Sheng Weiqiao's opinion, the way to both places is almost the same.
It wasn't until after entering the Wangchun Palace that the scenery that was completely different from the Xinshou Palace came to the face: Fang stepped in from the small door, and in the suddenly open courtyard, countless peach branches and plum trees were blooming happily, pink and white, continuous, like clouds, and it was really beautiful!
Waiting to pass through the court, from the winding verandah, when arriving at the Jingshao Hall of the main hall of Wangchun Palace, under the white jade steps of the carved auspicious cloud phoenix, several clusters of peonies and peonies with buds to be released, increasing the spring color.
When Sheng Weiqiao followed the lieutenant into the palace, he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: "It's strange that this palace should be named 'Wangchun', and all the trees planted along the way are the most prosperous in spring." It's just that after the season, the remaining summer, autumn and winter are a little lonely?"
Thinking about it has not stopped, the foot has turned the golden silk nanmu side seat inlaid mica glazed painted figure flower screen, I saw a roll of scarlet ground embroidered entwined branches crocus crane deer with spring from the front all the way to the Dan pier, the end of the golden silk nanmu carved grass pattern lotus phoenix seat, with a double bun, obliquely inserted gold inlaid gems Fushou Shuangquan auspicious celebration has more than a little emerald phoenix hairpin, wearing a little emerald inlaid treasure bat butterfly flower crown Meng Biyun is smiling and raising his hand: "Come and sit!"
The young queen's slender hand was lightly raised, and the hollow dotted emerald inlaid ice plum pattern armor on the ring finger and little finger and the headdress were overflowing, showing the wealth and majesty of the royal family more and more.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't dare to slack off, saluted in a proper manner, thanked him again, and then sat down on the position pointed by Meng Biyun.
Seeing her restrained appearance, Meng Biyun was a little disappointed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, raised her chin, and asked the lieutenant who had just led people in, as well as the palace people who were originally serving in the hall, to retreat, and then touched the gold inlay emerald coral pearl and jade pendant collar on her chest, and said with a smile: "How about I have this set of emerald hairpin rings today?"
"Niangniang's country is fragrant, this set of hairpin rings is rich and compelling, and it is complementing Niangniang. Sheng Weiqiao naturally didn't think that Meng Biyun summoned him to the palace to discuss the hairpin ring, so he answered very carefully.
"I, the queen, do a very leisurely job, and I am really boring on weekdays, so I can only have fun by myself. Meng Biyun looked at her cautious appearance and sighed, and said, "In the past two days, I have asked someone to sort out the warehouse, and I saw many hairpin rings left by my predecessors, so I took them out and played with them. If you like it, you can take a few sets later, and the shelving library will be dusty anyway. ”
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly said: "Niangniang's hairpin ring, how can a courtier's daughter wear it?"
"What can't you wear?" Meng Biyun said disapprehantly, "Didn't Jing Shu already tell you? When the time comes, there will be a title on the body, as long as it is not a hairpin ring like a five-phoenix, just wear it. Of course, the dynasty has rules on clothing, but how many years have you seen that the merchants have been wearing gold and silver, and the top has not turned a blind eye?"
Sheng Weiqiao became even more nervous when she heard this, and said in her heart: "This queen must already know about Sheng Shenghe's life experience, why is she not only making trouble with me now, but also saying that she will continue to make our county lord and township lord? What is her idea?"
His mind turned sharply, so he said tentatively: "Niangniang, in fact, the events of the day, in the final analysis, are you blessed and destined to be in danger, and our aunt and nephew have not done anything, so I really don't deserve to be so generous to you!"
"You are so prevaricated, are you worried that the Meng family will be angry with your Sheng family for the sake of the sleeping crane?" How do you know that Meng Biyun squinted her eyes when she heard this, but said bluntly, "I'm afraid that this title is not easy to get, and there will be a follow-up waiting for you after you take it?"
Sheng Weiqiao said embarrassedly: "Niangniang, it's not ......"
"You can rest assured about this!" Before he finished speaking, Meng Biyun had already shook his head and interrupted, "Isn't it just that I adopted one of King Gaomi's concubines without knowing it? What is there to make a fuss about! Speaking of which, I am still the concubine of Zheng Guogong, your aunt and nephew saved me, is it possible that King Gaomi will also trouble you? ! When someone came to complain yesterday, I had already reprimanded him, how could the Meng family pinch me, but I must not burn the fire to the Sheng family! Especially not to touch your aunt and nephew!"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao looking at herself in amazement, she smiled, "Of course, don't get too close to the Gaomi Palace...... After all, I will have nothing but the identity of a queen, and the weight of my words is still not heavy enough, and there is only a limit to what I can help you. ”
"Niangniang, this is too difficult for you!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't know if what she said was true or not, and whether she had colluded with the Meng family to deliberately impress herself, etc., she was suspicious, and only subconsciously expressed her gratitude, "You just got married, so speak for us......"
"It's not as serious as you think. Meng Biyun didn't mean to invite credit, and explained, "Zheng Guogong has other things to do at this time, so he doesn't have much to keep an eye on the Sheng family." What's more, whether King Gaomi is out of the importance of his long-lost biological flesh and blood, or out of fear that my Meng clan will attack him and ignore the benefactor who adopted his blood and blood, it is impossible for him to sit back and watch the Sheng family be angered by the Meng family. ”
This also makes sense, but Sheng Weiqiao sighed helplessly in his heart, and secretly said that he was willing to alienate Sheng Sleeping Crane from now on for the safety of the Sheng family, but would Sheng Sleeping Crane be willing to distance himself from now on?
The sorrow between her eyebrows, Meng Biyun saw it clearly, thinking that she was still worried about the Sheng family, so she was relieved for a while, and saw that she was still unable to spread her eyebrows, and after thinking about it, she also changed the topic: "I heard that your grandfather and grandmother came from Nanfeng County, and how many of your brothers and sisters are also with you?"
"Yes, I originally heard that my brother was the second on the apricot list, thinking that the gold list must be famous, so I came to Chang'an to celebrate, and by the way, my second brother, fourth sister, and fifth brother have a long experience. Sheng Weiqiao smiled bitterly, "Who knew that it had only been a few days since I came, and I hadn't had time to go out for a trip or something, so I had such a thing...... It's good that my grandfather is old and strong, otherwise I'm really worried that his old man will not be able to stand it!"
Meng Biyun said: "Oh, do you have another cousin? How is the person? If I have a good relationship with you, I might as well take her with me next time I enter the palace, and I will ask the Queen Mother to give her a county lord or something, and she will look better when she gets married." ”
"This ......" Sheng Weiqiao was immediately tempted, Sheng Weirao's situation is destined to be a problem for her marriage, although the Sheng family has decided to use the dowry to smash people, but relying on the attraction of interests alone, after all, it cannot guarantee that Sheng Weirao will be worry-free after marriage, if she has the title of the county lord...... No, even if it's just a village owner, it can make the future husband's family a little scared, right?
It's just that after all, I don't know Meng Biyun well, even if I have kindness to this queen, I don't dare to benefit from her at this time, so I am a little hesitant.
Meng Biyun saw it, covered her mouth and smiled: "That is, the matter of adding two more words to the Yi Zhi, Jing Shu should have told you, right? Anyway, one is sealed, and two are also sealed...... In this palace, I just see that you Sheng family girls are pleasing to the eye, who has the opinion and ability to come to me and tell me! I'm not afraid of trouble, what are you afraid of?"
She said so frankly, Sheng Weiqiao also felt that she was stingy when she twisted, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is so lovely, I am really ashamed! Then I will bring my fourth sister over to greet you next time?"
Meng Biyun nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's better to say that I'm idle than lonely, you sisters are free, it's good to come and accompany me often!"
Sheng Weiqiao listened to her say that she was lonely, and subconsciously looked left and right, but saw that there was a coral red ground pastel flower and bird pattern garlic bottle on the black lacquer inlaid luodian phoenix peony fish algae incense table, and a few newly folded peach blossoms were inserted in the bottle;
…… Although the furnishings are luxurious, there is no shadow of books.
Sheng Weiqiao was surprised, and secretly thought: "Isn't this queen the most fond of reading? When she hadn't entered this Wangchun Palace before, she often took the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the queen mother, and sent the palace maids of Xinshou Palace to borrow books from Shiqu Pavilion for her. Now that she is a queen, she no longer has to find the palace maid of Xinshou Palace to run errands on her behalf, and she can read the royal collection as she likes...... Why is it that there are no books in front of her? Or did she not usually use this hall much, and came to sit down in order to summon me?"
It is said that Meng Biyun's obsessed reading appearance before her wedding should be wishing that no one would disturb her to read quietly, where will there be any lonely feeling?
It can't be that after the wedding, I started to miss my husband, so I feel lonely and lonely, right?
Sheng Weiqiao thought of Emperor Xuanjing, who was old enough to be their grandfather, and secretly shuddered, such an old man, he still has a heart, and it is okay to be an elder and a relative, to be a husband, just to see it and feel sad from it, okay?
She felt that Meng Biyun should not be so weak, and even such a husband should never forget.
So...... What's going on?
