Chapter 216: Empress Dowager Xiao
Mama Ding is old and refined, and said: "Queen phoenix body, where is an old thing like me to compare." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Queen Mother, you are the best blessed, you have such a smart and filial daughter-in-law. ”
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, how smart and filial this Queen Cao is? If the emperor doesn't like it, it's also a miserable life.
After a while, Concubine Fu Xian and Concubine Shi De arrived, both of them were exquisite, one could speak better than the other, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became lively.
Liu Zhaoyuan and Shi Jieyu arrived at the door of "Yanqing Palace" with their front and back feet.
Shi Jieyu held her stomach up, supported by the new moon, and carefully stepped down. Seeing that Liu Zhaoyuan was also getting out of the car in front of him, he raised his voice and said, "Sister Zhaoyuan, I haven't seen you for many days!" ”
Liu Zhaoyuan turned around, the smile on her face was just right, and said, "It turned out to be Sister Jieyu, what a coincidence!" ”
Looking at the smile on Liu Zhaoyuan's face, Shi Jieyu couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, and for the first time felt that she couldn't see through the person in front of her.
Liu Zhaoyuan stepped down neatly, walked up to Shi Jieyu, and said with a smile: "My sister is heavy, but you have to be careful." Don't be surprised. ”
The pronunciation of the word "accident" was particularly heavy, and Shi Jieyu felt a pang in her heart.
Liu Zhaoyuan whispered in her ear again: "If there is anything uncomfortable, remember to send someone to tell me." I still have the recipe for treating itchy skin last time. ”
What is going on with that medicine, Shi Jieyu understands best. I felt that my heart was beating wildly, Liu Zhaoyuan said this, she must have known the truth about her slippery tire. After settling down, she covered the uneasiness in her heart with a smile, and said with a smile: "What is Sister Zhaoyuan saying, why can't my sister understand?" ”
Liu Zhaoyuan chuckled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I can just understand." ”
After a delay at the door, when the two of them were about to enter, those low-grade palace concubines had already arrived. For a time, the warbler and the swallow swallow, the person is more delicate than the flower.
The people entered the door and sat down in order. There are more of these eye-catching beauties in the "Yanqing Palace", and for a while, I only feel that the house is much brighter.
The Queen Mother smiled and said to Queen Cao: "When I see these little girls, I feel that I am old!" ”
Empress Cao smiled heartily and said, "How can there be an old man as young as you, who looks like my sister." ”
Empress Dowager Xiao has not done anything all these years, she has thought very clearly, her son is the emperor, and she can be less prosperous and rich? simply don't take this right and worry less, serve some flowers and plants every day, and enjoy the leisure and leisure of children and grandchildren around the knee.
She has a comfortable life, and there are many beauty prescriptions in the palace, so she is indeed well-maintained, and she looks more than ten years younger than the average old lady.
Although Empress Cao's words are compliments, they are not exaggerated.
At the beginning of her, the palace concubines below also echoed in their mouths: "Queen Mother, where are you old?" "Not even a single gray hair."
"Yanqing Palace" is full of joy, who doesn't like to hear good words? Empress Dowager Xiao listened with a smile, in a good mood.
At this time, the chamberlain at the door raised his voice and said, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Emperor Qinglong was dressed in a ceremonial dress, wearing a golden five-clawed golden dragon brocade robe, a gold-inlaid jade belt in his waist, and a crown of auspicious clothes on his head.
He walked in in a hurry, followed closely by Wu Guangqi, the personal eunuch, and laughed loudly: "Why are you talking so happily? ”
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said, "The emperor is coming and sitting." Talk to your daughter-in-law casually, she's really good. ”
Emperor Qinglong glanced at Empress Cao, nodded and said, "I am busy in the court, and I work hard for you to take care of your mother on weekdays." Although he was expressing his gratitude, his tone was light.
Empress Dowager Xiao sighed in her heart, she knew that her son didn't like Empress Cao, and she only thought about the deposed Jiang family. So what's so good about Jiang's? was born with a charming look, so many years have passed, and it still makes his son unforgettable.
Maybe all the mothers in the world hate the woman who bewitches her son. She had the heart to help Empress Cao and make the emperor forget that woman, but she couldn't change the emperor's mind.
Empress Cao didn't care about this, she was used to Emperor Qinglong's coldness.
The emperor sat down next to the queen mother, and all the palace concubines below got up, and under the leadership of Empress Cao, they knelt down and bowed, and said in a coquettish voice: "The concubines have seen the emperor, I wish the emperor a long life and Tianqi!" ”
"Flat!"
Everyone sat down again, and a little eunuch came in, and said: "The emperor, the queen mother, and the foreign women have all arrived at the 'Baolin Garden', please move." ”
On the side of "Baolin Garden", there are high-grade women and clansmen, all waiting in the hall, and a hall full of various gifts for the emperor's birthday.
In a piece of jewelry, the "Green Dragon Lying Ink Pool" Kao selected at the peony flower meeting is particularly eye-catching.
Emperor Qinglong came in and saw this pot of flowers, and the prince greeted him, saluted first, and said, "Does the emperor like this pot of flowers?" Erchen began to cultivate in the old year, planted several plants, and finally survived this pot. ”
Looking at such a delicate black peony, Emperor Qinglong was in a trance for a moment. He loves black peony, but in fact, it is Weiwei's favorite, Taimiao is bitter, I don't know if she is doing well?
I want to open my mouth to send this pot of black peony to the Taimiao, but if it is really sent, the old decay in the court should be noisy again. Emperor Qinglong frowned slightly, it was better to explain to the prince in private.
He nodded and said, "Yes, you have filial piety!" Tomorrow the morning is down, you go to the imperial study. ”
The prince was secretly happy in his heart, this black peony seemed to have chosen the right one. Before the matter of King Qianyang, he often went in and out of the imperial study and followed Emperor Qinglong to listen to the government.
At this time, re-entering the imperial study means that the case of King Qianyang's rebellion has been revealed, and he has passed this difficulty.
Emperor Qinglong sat high on the throne and accepted the court.
The lower part is divided into two columns, left and right, and it is distinct. On the left are the royal family headed by the crown prince, the king of Qi, the king of Chu, the princess of Zhaoyang, the patriarch of the Wei clan, the township monarch and the county monarch with the title, etc.; On the right is the Lady of Dingguo, the old lady of the Dingguo, the Lady of the Imperial Order, the Duchess of the Four Great Powers, the Hou Mansion, the Lady of the Bofu, etc.
After the pilgrimage was completed, Wu Guangqi opened the holy decree and announced the reward from high to low, and everyone in the hall had a share.
For his holy birthday, Emperor Qinglong did not have much joy. In his opinion, it was just a ritual. Give your children and grandchildren a chance to fulfill their filial piety, let the courtiers see the face of heaven, and then praise and reward them themselves, so as to stabilize people's hearts.
With a burst of gongs and drums, the stage began to sing "babbling".
Empress Dowager Xiao said to Emperor Qinglong: "Your Majesty, what troupes have you invited this time?" ”
Wu Guangqi hurriedly presented the roster, and Emperor Qinglong flipped through it and replied: "There are Yunshao class, Taihe class, and Xianglong class. ”
"The Mu Guiying sung by Yun Shao's class is good, let them sing it first."
Empress Dowager Xiao ordered the play, and looked at it intently, humming softly with the rhythm. When she was young, she was fascinated by the way of opera and could sing a few words.
