Chapter 360: Coming to the door
Oh! I heard that the old lady Xue is fine, the king of Guojun also let out a long breath, put his mind at ease, he is really afraid that the old lady Xue has three strengths and two shortcomings, as a son, he has to keep filial piety, especially he is not the biological son of the old lady Xue, others are staring at him, a little slack, those saliva of the imperial history can drown him, now the momentum of the Guojun palace is not as good as before, if he can't go out for three years in Ding Wei, people go tea and cool, it is really difficult to say what the situation in the court will be like in three years.
And Old Concubine Xue is the uncle and grandmother of the second room, if there is really anything, the second room also has to keep filial piety for a year, and there is no need to discuss family affairs, and all their previous plans are completely incompatible.
Therefore, he hopes more than anyone else that Old Concubine Xue can live a long life, and it is best to wait until the son of the world grows up, and after he pays tribute, Old Concubine Xue is passing away, so there will be no delay.
"The body is fine, but the old lady can't go out for a short time, which is better with the Meng family's relatives who don't know who to talk to. Princess Guojun also thought of the stakes, and then sighed again.
As soon as King Guojun learned the news earlier, his mind began to turn, and he immediately said his plan at this time: "It's really not possible, you can only come forward in person." ”
"I'll come forward in person to find Mrs. Meng?" Princess Guojun couldn't pull her body down, and asked her to curry favor with the wife of a fourth-grade official to be a matchmaker for her niece, where did she put her face when it was spread?
"It's not Mrs. Meng, it's the princess. King Guojun stroked the eight-character nonsense, "I have thought about it, the key to this family affair is still in the princess, if she agrees, even if Mrs. Meng doesn't like it, she has to agree, on the contrary." If she resolutely disagrees, then even if Mrs. Meng likes it, it is useless, this Meng Ye's current errand is still even brought by Yu Feng, and the Meng family has to look at the face of the palace.
Now Princess Guojun's face is even more difficult to look at, and it is barely okay to talk to Mrs. Meng, after all, she is a peer, and Mrs. Meng is also from a family. But what is this princess? a concubine. is still a younger generation, if she wants to flatter and please, she won't have to see anyone in the future.
Years of husband and wife. King Guojun understood the personality of Princess Guojun, and persuaded: "This is also for our Lewen, who let us have a request for others now? If you are not happy, it is estimated that after the New Year, this matter of peace with the Meng clan will be put on the agenda again." If someone really wants to mention it, what should we do with Lewen? But it's not just one or two, the queen mother of the harem and even the concubines and eunuchs all have to be counted, which may not be useful, and those favored concubines may be beaten into the cold palace today. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the more effective thing to speak is the Dingwang Mansion. ”
In fact, it is not only Lian Yufeng who speaks, but it is compared to marrying a niece to the Meng family. Buying the harem concubines and concubines to speak for them is simply negligible.
For the sake of the daughter. Princess Guojun had no choice but to bow her head, prepare a generous gift, and go to Dingwangfu to visit the next day.
When Su Yiqing received the post, she was a little stunned.
She has no friendship with the princess of Guojun, not only on the day of the newlywed, but also the old lady Xue and her nephew and daughter-in-law Li came to the Guojun royal mansion, and the last birthday banquet of the old lady Xue in the Guojun royal mansion, the princess of Guojun and the princess did not receive her in person, but only sent the Li family to greet her, which seemed very cold, how could she hand over the post to the door now?
After all, she is the princess of Yifu, it's not good, she is not even there at this time, there is no one to discuss, but this is a trivial matter, Su Yiqing feels that she should not be so fragile, isn't she more than two months pregnant, the peasant woman is still working in the field, she is not a young lady who has been raised in the boudoir all the year round and panted for breath when she walks two steps, even if it is those noble ladies, she still comes out to greet the guests to take care of the housework when she is a few months old.
There is a large group of maids and daughters-in-law, she doesn't have to do anything, just listen to Princess Guojun, this Princess Guojun is not an ordinary shrew, even if she wants to scold, she doesn't have dirty words, she can't be embarrassed.
In this way, Su Yiqing ordered the maid to prepare and receive guests in the Peony Hall.
The peony hall is relatively small, and now in the cold winter, it is more convenient to burn the earth dragon, unlike the Luomei Hall and other places, which are too empty, and the earth dragon is not much warmer for half a day.
Pregnant, I don't need to dress up more, I just pulled up my hair in a bun, put on a cotton brocade robe, didn't apply powder, looked in the mirror, and felt that my face was a little too good, so I took a little powder and wiped it, making a haggard shape, this powder is made of pure plants, completely harmless, not to mention, I can't see that I rubbed the powder after applying, since I want to pretend to be sick and hide at home, I have to be ready.
There is no need to go out to greet guests when she is pregnant, even if she is not pregnant, in terms of identity, the princess is one level higher than the princess of the county, and there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, plus the coldness of the Guojun Mansion several times before, Su Yiqing feels that she doesn't need to be too enthusiastic.
Princess Guojun was brought in by her mother-in-law, with a smile on her face, but there was a sullen feeling in her heart, she didn't expect Princess Ding, who was pregnant, to go out to greet her, but she didn't expect a mother-in-law and a twelve- or thirteen-year-old maid to greet her.
The mother-in-law confessed that she was the princess's dowry mother, and she was even more disgusted when she heard it, the princess's dowry mother-in-law, isn't it the mother-in-law of a petty official like the Meng family? No wonder the whole body has the taste of a small family, this must be too unruly, even if there is no elder, if you want the grandmother to come out to greet her, you have to send a high-status grandmother or a housekeeper mother and a big maid or something, an old mother, a little maid or something? What is the matter with a small family who comes out of a small family but does not know how to count etiquette.
Su Yiqing leaned on the couch, saw Princess Guojun come in, pretended to be, and reluctantly got up to greet her with the support of green vines.
Princess Guojun looked at her pale face, and then looked weak, where did she dare to let her get up, and hurriedly said: "Princess Ding, sit down quickly, watch your body." ”
Su Yiqing was not reluctant, she sat down, her body half leaning on a big cushion, and her legs were covered with a thick blanket.
This appearance was even more dissatisfied in the eyes of Princess Guojun, was it necessary to do this? It made her seem to force a weak pregnant woman to receive her.
Su Yiqing saw Princess Guojun's dissatisfaction in her eyes and asked lightly, "I don't know what kind of tea Princess Jun likes to drink?"
"Just Pu'er tea. Princess Guojun didn't come to drink tea, so she casually said what she liked on weekdays.
Su Yiqing immediately instructed the maid to make tea, and asked the maid to make herself a cup of jujube tea.
The tea was brewed quickly, and after it was served, Princess Guojun took a sip lightly, and immediately frowned slightly, Pu'er tea is the older the better, the Pu'er tea in front of me is obviously a new tea, and the water for making tea is not well mastered, and now it is snowing, the most suitable water for making tea should be snow water, but the cup in front of him is obviously brewed by well water.
Look at the clothes on the princess again, a light blue cotton jacket embroidered with small red flowers, not to mention the slightest powder, except for a jade hosta hairpin that holds the bun, there is no ornament on the body, her face is pale and looks like she has just gotten up, since she can come out to entertain guests, she should dress up well, otherwise she will simply lie on the bed, like now, it really makes people feel blocked, and it seems that she knows that she is not in good health, and she insists on coming to the door to receive her.
In addition, this peony hall is also, called the peony hall, it really hangs a pair of big flowers and rich peony hall, how cheesy and cheesy it is, and the people who come out of the small family really want it.
Princess Guojun was slandering in her heart, but she still remembered what she was doing here, she was dissatisfied, but her face was not obvious, and she pretended to be concerned, "Is Princess Ding's health better? If you are tired, go back and lie down." ”
"It's okay, I've been lying down for a day, it's time to get up and move my muscles and bones, and it's good for the fetus. Su Yiqing smiled softly, and looked at Princess Guojun up close, but she didn't look at it carefully after a few hurried glances before, but now she looks at it.
Princess Guojun is a goose egg face, there is a faint pair of pear vortices between the cheek smiles, if you smile a little more, the pear vortex will obviously look very sweet, cherry lips and phoenix eyes, the eyebrows are too long, and the face is a little powerful, but overall she is still a beautiful woman with charm.
Looking at the dress of the princess of Guojun, Ruyun's hair pulled a butterfly, and two thick red jade coral hairpins were inserted on both sides, with a red brocade auspicious pattern cotton jacket, the whole looked charming and graceful.
Princess Guojun couldn't help but take a closer look at Su Yiqing's appearance after she began to look at Su Yiqing's dress, in the past when Concubine Xue's birthday banquet, she had also secretly looked at Princess Ding, who was born as a concubine, and at a glance it was not much different from other ladies, her makeup was exquisite, her manners were decent, she was already old when she got married, and she had been outside for many years, and the whole person had a temperament that the general new daughter-in-law who had just entered the door did not have, quite a little sharp, and it was not easy to provoke at first glance.
But now after taking off the luxurious makeup and dazzling jewelry, it is actually such a delicate face, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and the bookish atmosphere between the eyebrows is very strong, not like the daughter of the military general's family, nor the noble family, but like the kind of noble family who comes out to read poetry and books.
It is said that men like such women, who look one way on the outside and another when they are at home.
Such a woman who can pretend to be a woman has to be careful, Princess Guojun was not confused by Su Yiqing's seemingly Sven appearance, and even cheered up her spirit, hearing Su Yiqing say that she didn't need to lie down, she said with more concern: "You should pay special attention when you are pregnant with your first child, some things look okay, in fact, they are very important, you should pay more attention to your body." ”
"Thank you Princess Jun for reminding me. Su Yiqing nodded lightly, neither inappropriate nor too concerned. (To be continued)
