Chapter 567: Release
Facing the searching eyes of Queen Chu and the ladies of the Commandment, Mama Bai whispered: "It's all the slaves and maids who are not serving well. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the Queen Mother ate a piece of melon yesterday evening, about a cold stomach, went to the clean room several times in a row, today's spirit is very poor, so far has not gotten up. ”
The voice is not high or low, although the people in the audience can't hear it clearly, but the ladies of the public waiting for the Bofu on the high platform can't get a word wrong.
Old Taijun Xia sank her face first, and Shen, the wife of Marquis Kangping, who was sitting at the bottom, hurriedly gently tugged on her mother-in-law's sleeve, but asked Old Taijun to raise her hand and brush it away, so frightened that Shen didn't dare to say more.
In the way of the queen mother's good life, the old lady did not immediately rebuke Mama Bai, but glanced at her coldly, and the warning was especially obvious.
Guo Shanggong stood beside Queen Chu, waiting to personally take the lamp for the distinguished guests, looking at the anger of Mama Bai and the old lady Xia who were barely suppressed, her face was indifferent, but in fact, her heart was full of joy.
Empress Chu, who wore a bright yellow gold silk phoenix robe with her hair in a high bun, showed a slight embarrassment on her face, and looked at the court women sitting in the hall under the high platform, and was a little speechless for a while.
Concubine Jun Niangniang intended to break the siege, and gently raised her glass to Queen Chu: "The Empress Dowager has a spring and autumn season, so she will follow her old man's wishes." We are here to celebrate our birthday, and we wish the elderly happiness and health here, which is the same reason. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shen of Dali Temple, Mrs. Wei of Shangshu Mansion and other women echoed it, and Queen Chu took advantage of the situation to go down the steps. She smiled and gestured to Qin Yao, and the banquet officially began.
In the side hall, auspicious music was played, and a group of servants in red clothes and plain skirts danced, each holding a small bamboo basket in their hands, which contained a longevity peach with a red seal, singing and dancing, and sending it to every guest.
A banquet is enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and it can be regarded as a joy for the monarch and the ministers. There is the queen of Chu who is at ease, and there are also the ladies of the decree to welcome each other, and the words of wishing the queen mother a long life and good health come and go.
The glitz on the face is hard to hide the true meaning behind it. Since yesterday, under the spread of well-intentioned people, the news that the queen mother is sick again has spread all over the capital. Most people entered the palace today with a wait-and-see attitude, but they did not expect to see the queen mother attending, and they were always a little sad in their hearts, for fear of a resurgence of the storm.
Although the Empress Chu on the banquet was as usual, that is, Fengyi was elegant and approachable, and occasionally a few witty words adorned the atmosphere of the banquet, but it always made people feel anticlimactic.
I have long heard that for today's feast, Queen Chu specially took the Murong Wei sisters to the royal temple to offer incense, praying for the old man's life to be 100 years old, and also built a small stage, and prepared auspicious dramas such as Magu's birthday and the heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
Now, not only the queen mother does not attend, but even the troupe has disappeared, and only the servants in the orchestra are playing auspicious songs from afar. After eating half of the banquet, the old lady put aside her chopsticks and confessed to the queen, accompanied by Xia Lanxin and went directly to Shoukang Palace.
Queen Chu is still chatting and laughing with the princess and concubine, and from time to time she raises a glass to the wives in the audience, looking at the natural manners, but there are already people secretly slandering herself.
Look at this situation, I am afraid that Queen Chu and Mama Bai are co-starring in a play, and today the Queen Mother is very ill, and this banquet is only afraid to calm people's hearts.
No matter how much speculation there is in my heart, no one dares to whisper a few words, and occasionally acquaintances look at each other, and they all read a little deep meaning from each other's eyes.
The banquet in Ci'an Palace ended hastily, and after the banquet, Queen Chu did not leave the ladies to drink tea, but directly ordered the palace people to send off the guests, and she also drove to Shoukang Palace.
Emperor Chongming feasted in the Fuzheng Palace, and there were twists and turns when there was no Ci'an Palace. After the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, Emperor Chongming instructed Xuanshuang to send off the guests, and he invited Xia Ge Lao, Chen Rujun, Qin Heng and Gu Chenxiao to sit in the small flower hall next to the imperial study.
Jun has no jokes, since he has promised Qin Heng that the Queen Mother will give him a reply after her birthday, Emperor Chongming will guard the two pavilion elders today, and talk about the marriage of the Three Kingdoms and the good things of Qin and Jin forever with these two.
The matter has come to this point, Guo Shanggong has been struggling to tassel the news, but it was sent a day earlier, and this information is meaningless. What's more, Su Duhan and Su Guangfu are thousands of miles away, so the right envoy is helpless.
The palace can't hide the news, not to mention Chrysostom, it's already a sure thing.
When the news reached Hanzhang Palace, Wen Wanzheng was concentrating on embroidering a pillow for Zhou Ruosu.
The bed curtain of the same style has been embroidered, and the light apricot bed curtain is a large purple and red peony, and the gold and silver double line picks the flower core, which is rich and chic. The flowers were as big as a silver platter, as if they were blown by the wind, and they would fill the room with fragrance.
The henchman girl Agarwood hurriedly ran in, drove the fragrance of her clothes, and startled a few birds and finches walking in the flower garden, she couldn't care about it, just one step at a time.
Before the person arrived, the crisp voice of agarwood came in through the curtain first: "County Lord, it's not good." ”
"What's the matter of panicking?" Wen Wan's needlework continued, still focused on the last colorful peony.
Zhou Ruosu was born in the royal family, but his life was bumpy. In the bottom of Wen Wan's heart, only the true national color of the peony can be worthy of the high and noble nature of the biological mother, who is also soft and strong, and does not dance with the autumn breeze of the fallen leaves.
Seeing that the biological mother is about to be free, she is the only way to express her heart as a daughter.
"County Lord", Agarwood gently tugged at her sleeves, and her face turned crimson in a hurry: "You stopped the needle first, it is a major event in your life." ”
"But Your Majesty intends to give me a marriage to Qin Heng, the prince of Jian'an?" smiled gently, gently brushed away the hand of agarwood, and patiently embroidered the last petal.
Calculate the time, there should be movement in the palace. can be called agarwood so urgent, and it is about finally having some eyebrows.
"The county lord knew early in the morning why he was still so calm. Now that the holy decree has not been issued, the county lord hurried to ask Mrs. Anguo, maybe it is still too late", Agarwood was full of anxiety, a picture of worrying for his master, and he didn't dare to easily snatch the needle in Wen Wan's hand, so he was so anxious that he turned in place.
Wen Wan finally stopped the needle, tilted her head to look at it carefully, and then used silver scissors to cut the thread. looked at the graceful beauty of peony flowers on the bed curtain and pillow, and showed a satisfied smile: "Mother has long known what you are panicking about." ”
Not only Chu Zhaohui, that day in his grandfather's house, Wen Wan opened his heart to Zhou Ruosu and happily expressed his heart.
Zhou Ruosu is really the softest and most rigid person, and after a moment of reluctance, he put aside his feelings and said to Wen Wan sincerely: "Awan, the most sorry thing about your mother is that she gave you such an unbearable childhood. Now that you're full-fledged, it's time to fly where you want to go. ”
