【Chapter 19】Accompany you
The first verse of worship
Qi Caicai was dragged out of Zeqing Palace by the crown prince, felt the whirring wind in his ears, and was shocked, his light skills were actually better than his own? When he was about to rush forward with all his strength, the prince stopped his steps and turned around, and Qi Caicai directly crashed into the prince's arms. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You suddenly stop and do something!" Qi Caicai took a step back, covered his red forehead, and pouted and looked up at the prince with a dissatisfied face.
The prince lingered under his nose with the fragrance of the girl's hair, recalled the intimate contact just now, his face turned red, and he clumsily raised his hand to straighten the golden hairpin on Qi Caicai's hair, and now both of them were crimson.
Qi Caicai coughed dryly twice, "Your Highness, let's go, the Queen Mother is waiting!"
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother will go after lunch, and accompany me to a place first. ”
Walk through the palace on the shoulder, through a dense bamboo forest, to a palace with mottled walls, the three words "Yunling Palace" written in gold paint on the plaque of the palace gate have lost their luster, the moss in the wall is glowing with emerald green luster, and the weeds on the ground have not reached the ankles, here, it seems that it has not been repaired for a long time.
Without waiting for Qi Caicai to ask, the prince said slowly: "Go and say hello to my mother, her tablet is here." ”
Although there were still many doubts in his heart, seeing the pathos in the prince's expression, Qi Caicai didn't say much, and walked in with the prince.
The two little eunuchs in the palace saw the prince, hurriedly put the broom, scooped the water to greet him, and then ran to call an elderly eunuch, the old eunuch legs were a little lame, limped to the prince to greet him but was stopped by the prince, cloudy eyes with tears and joy to look at the prince and the princess, hands trembling and took out a key, insisted on opening the door of the main hall by himself, for the old eunuch's stubbornness, the prince was unusually tolerant, and slowly followed behind step by step to the main hall.
When the door of the main hall was pushed open with a squeak, the light reflected after the sunlight shone in made Qi Caicai dizzy for a while, squinting slightly and looking a little bit, the entrance is a pure gold statue of Shennong Yandi who is equal to a real person, there are melons and fruits and refreshments on the offering table in front, and a three-legged dragon pattern is standing.
Bowing to the statue of the Yellow Emperor, Qi Caicai followed the prince and walked inside.
The situation of the main hall is much better than that outside the palace, the ochre-colored walls are evenly painted, each section of the house is separated by a mahogany carved doorway with no end to the end, the vermilion dark silk cloth is neatly spread on the countertop of each section, the tables are all empty, only at the end of the room is placed a tablet with the name of Empress Xiao, and there are small incense burners on both sides.
The little eunuch took the fresh food from his hand, and the old eunuch carefully arranged it on a silver plate on the offering table, and when it was ready, he stood with a hunched side.
The prince led Qi Caicai to bow three times, each of which was extremely respectful and pious, and somehow Qi Caicai felt that his nose was sour, and he unconsciously sympathized with the prince.
After worshipping and leaving the main hall, the prince still had a warm expression, as if the sadness that flowed just now was just an illusion, smiled and nodded the tip of Qi Caicai's reddened nose, and asked:
"Lunch will be used in Yunling Palace, Gonggong Mu's best thing is northern noodle food, why not try it?"
Qi Caicai was indeed hungry, even if she was given a cooking cake at this time, she would be able to eat it fragrantly, let alone a hot meal, and nodded busily.
The prince smiled again, his angular lips raised an elegant arc, revealing a few bright teeth, ignoring the deterrence of the bronze mask, Qi Caicai felt that the prince was still eye-catching.
gestured several times to the old eunuch, the old eunuch nodded happily, and was supported by a little eunuch to leave, and the prince explained to Qi Caicai:
"Father-in-law Mu was deaf and dumb, I told him that we were going to eat here, and he went to the kitchen to prepare. ”
Another little eunuch brought bamboo tables and chairs and placed them under the peach tree in the courtyard.
Qi Caicai has eaten on the ground in the barracks, so naturally he will not feel rough, and he looks around the uncarved scenery in the courtyard pleasantly.
She's looking at the scenery, he's looking at her.
After a bowl of noodle soup, Qi Caicai and the prince were satisfied.
Farewell to Father-in-law Mu, it was already sun, the Queen Mother wanted to get up from a nap, Gu Xia arranged for some of the accompanying palace people to go to eat before they returned, and those who stayed behind rushed to Ciyi Palace with their shoulders first.
Section II
The Queen Mother Shen is close to her old age, since her nephew Shen Zhiwei took refuge in Mrs. Jiang on her own, the Queen Mother suffered from heart palpitations, she couldn't work, she couldn't hear right and wrong, and she had been calm and recuperated for half a year.
Today, the prince is coming, and the queen mother asked the palace people to clean up the Ciyi Palace early in the morning, decorate it with joy, and let the small kitchen make some delicious snacks to prepare. This wait to noon, is about to order the kitchen to add vegetables, the prince next to Gu Xia came over to give the prince lunch before arriving, Xu is old, the queen mother began to repent of the previous mistakes, for this grandson is a little more atonement-like care, so a nightmare after a nightmare very unrealistic sleep for a long time, let the palace people help up and recite the scriptures.
Until the prince and his wife came, the queen mother was still haunted by the noon dream, and the whole person was in a trance.
"Grandmother Feng Ti Kang Tai. ”
The crown prince and Qi Caicai said twice before the queen mother came back to her senses, looking at the young woman beside the prince Chen, the queen mother lovingly called:
"This is Concubine Chen'er, but she is really a handsome person, come, you two come to sit in front of the mourning house. ”
The three-color Tang couch where the Queen Mother is lying is more like a bed, wide and long, and the Prince Chen and Qi Caicai stepped forward to sit on the left and right sides of the Queen Mother and did not appear crowded.
He looked at the prince with kind eyes, and then held Qi Caicai's hand and patted it gently, and the queen mother spoke softly about the care of the elderly, and every word was sincere.
Qi Caicai was surprised by the goodwill of the Queen Mother, who had been intriguing in Zeqing Palace before, and felt comfortable in Ciyi Palace at this time, but Yunshang Palace never mentioned the Queen Mother's personality, and only repeatedly told Qi Caicai not to trust anyone in the harem, so Qi Caicai's seemingly unthinking answers were the result of careful consideration.
Caution is tiring, but relatively prudent.
As if she had just found out, the Queen Mother was surprised: "Isn't there a side concubine, why haven't you seen it?"
The prince said coquettishly and solemnly:
"It is rare for the side concubine to enter the palace, and she has a deep relationship with the concubine's aunt and nephew, and she wants to stay for a while, so the grandson agrees. Grandmother, don't think grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law are lively enough here?"
"You, you are soft-hearted, this rule is changed when you say it, and those who don't understand etiquette and filial piety should be punished severely. ”
The Queen Mother smiled and poked the prince's head, a bustling picture.
"What my grandmother taught me was that my grandson also felt that what the concubine had done was inappropriate, but it was always bad to brush the concubine's face. ”
"Jiang Qianlan?" the Queen Mother snorted, "Don't be restrained if you should be punished, although the mourning family is an old bone, it will definitely be on your side in this matter." ”
The prince bowed his head and responded, and replied that he was dealing with some things, and he would go back when he went, leaving Qi Caicai behind.
As soon as the prince left, Qi Caicai was a little restrained, but fortunately, the queen mother did not say anything else, only taught her how to manage the inner courtyard, and when the maid said about the concubine, she gave a lot of instructions, probably to let Cai Cai not tolerate Jiang Lu to be idle, and the queen mother would support her.
Hearing this, Qi Caicai still didn't understand that Jiang Luxian's greeting in the future today made the Queen Mother angry, thinking that the Queen Mother had repeatedly told her and the prince to punish Jiang Luxian, she felt funny, this Queen Mother is the same old man as a child, Jiang Luxian can suffer.
Seeing Jiang Lu eating idle, she Qi Caicai was naturally happy, so the next time was not difficult, accompanied by the Queen Mother, talking and laughing, and talking about Shuofang's strange things, the prince came back.
"Grandmother, if there is something in the palace, my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law will go back first. ”
"How big of a matter can this county capital be that your newlywed Yan'er has to deal with, Cai Cai, this child is very close to me, and I want to stay for dinner. ”
The crown prince shook his head at the queen mother, "His position is his job, and my grandmother also knows that her grandson is only left with this civil official errand, so she should do her best." ”
I don't know what I thought, the Queen Mother's expression was gloomy, she didn't sleep well at noon, and at this time her brain was faintly painful, and the Queen Mother took off a superb jade floating jade bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Qi Caicai, and rewarded a lot of porcelain calligraphy and paintings, and said softly: "Go quickly, it just so happens that the mourning family is also a little tired." ”。
Qi Caicai was not happy to leave at this time, but the Queen Mother let the kitchen prepare a very rich dinner, with reluctant tears, stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist, Qi Caicai said sincerely: "Imperial grandmother, Caicai will often come to see you." "After all, food is unstoppable.
