Chapter 275: Palace Gate
Regarding Mama Qing's question, Su Yiqing didn't speak, lowered her head and drank tea, Mama Qing is old, these things should have been taught by Mama, not by her, if Mama Qing can't even see through this thing, then let her rest more.
It was Mama Xiang who came to serve her in Dingwangfu and explained with a smile, "You don't know anything about Mama Qing, the prince's mansion, you should be especially careful when giving gifts, the precious ones will seem to be stuttering, and it is inconvenient for people to accept them, even if they reluctantly accept it, they have to bother to return a copy of the same valuable, so that people are uncomfortable, and a little fresh fruit is just right for the elders to taste." ”
Qing Mama was annoyed for a while, she didn't understand such a simple truth, but she was anxious for a while, and wanted to show her face in front of the princess, she knew that although she was married with the princess, she didn't have any feelings with the princess, not to mention her, even the mother-daughter relationship between Mrs. Meng and the princess was faint, if she didn't think of a way, she would really be thrown aside, looking at Mama Xiang's style, she also wanted to fight for power, she had to work harder, and she couldn't make mistakes again.
On the third day of the wedding, it should have been the day when the bride returned to the door in the three dynasties, but it happened to be the day when the foreign woman entered the palace, as a princess, according to the rules, she should enter the palace to meet the queen and the concubines in the palace, and the folk customs could not cross the imperial power, so early in the morning, the sky was still dark, there was no trace of light, Su Yiqing got up, and Lian Yufeng and the two dressed up under the service of the maids, and even Yufeng was easy to do, and after washing and getting dressed, he picked up a book and waited for Su Yiqing while reading, and Su Yiqing made up and combed her hair surrounded by a bunch of maids, surrounded by four or five maids, her makeup and dress were even more rigorous than when she got married.
After putting on makeup, facing the mirror, and then bringing no less than the heavy and bright jewelry when you got married. The face in the mirror is simply not hers, with a thick layer of rouge gouache, although it is still very beautiful, but it is too delicate and gorgeous like a different person, it is really not her style, but it is also good to think about it, at least the blushing face and the white like can't be seen.
Even Yufeng admired it with great interest. After getting into the carriage, he smiled and said, "I should add monthly money to the green vines." It's amazing, it's like a different face. ”
Su Yiqing glanced at him and said, "Your man's preference is like this?" It's really better to buy a piece of paper and draw a beautiful woman. You don't need to feed rice and grain, so it's more trouble-free. ”
Lian Yufeng laughed, "How is this the same, how can a motionless beauty in a painting be compared to a real person with a vivid color?" In fact, you can't say that men judge people by their appearance. You women say it nicely, but men only learn by character. But how to measure this character? Is it good to have a good character with two sleeves and no windfall? As for that talent, I am afraid that it cannot be replaced by wealth, rice, oil and salt, and it cannot be regarded as real talent, in the final analysis, everyone chooses to be the one that they are more interested in. Of course, it would be better if they had both. ”
"That's what it means, but it's not so good to say it openly." Su Yiqing smiled slightly, "Everyone has an inferior root. Sometimes it is inevitable that you can't resist the temptation, in order to show openness. It is despicable to shout about shortcomings everywhere or even to be proud of it, the ancients said that sex is also eaten, most people in the world are like this, and few can avoid vulgarity, so some noble character is still worthy of praise, if everyone is not ashamed of lust, then what will become of the world? ”
Su Yiqing wanted to admit that her love for him at first sight was due to his outstanding appearance, but judging people by their appearance was not a glorious thing after all, she didn't dare to say frankly that it was his face that she liked anyway, but this appearance was only the beginning after all, and then she had to look inside, but she had to admit that if he didn't have an appearance that could make her fall in love at first sight, they wouldn't have had a start at all.
"So even if you don't like men, you never say anything about three wives and four concubines?" Lian Yufeng raised his eyebrows, "Just for that virtuous name?" ”
"Who says I don't say it?" After Su Yiqing blurted out, her expression suddenly became embarrassed, she had always said it clearly, but the object of what she said was not him.
Even Yu Feng obviously thought of the holy decree that Zhao Boyang asked for back then.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became awkward, this topic obviously could not continue, Su Yiqing thought that there must be someone between the husband and wife to take a step back, since this is the case, then what does it matter if she retreats, so she opened the topic and said: "By the way, you haven't told me about the queen in the palace, how about the ladies in the palace, are there any taboos?" ”
Even Yufeng also went down the steps, and Wen Sheng introduced: "If you say that there are taboos in the palace, there are many, and you can't say it for a while, you just need to remember the most important one, talk less, say more wrong, don't talk much, when you are shy, at most, Mu Ne is not good at words, maybe if you say too much, maybe you will make something, for this lady is okay, you may be able to poke the heart of that beauty, for example, recently Concubine Yan in the palace is pregnant and about to give birth, and you must congratulate Concubine Yan when she meets her, but if you say it too directly, the childless concubine will definitely be unhappy, Especially...... The queen has no children. ”
"Isn't there a third prince under the queen's knees?" Su Yiqing's eyes widened, she had always heard that the current situation in Da Zhou was a little uncertain because the three princes from the queen had not been made the crown prince so far, and the emperor preferred the eight princes from Ming Guifei, but the eight princes were still young, and Ming Guifei's background was also a little low, and she had no relatives to support her, but maybe this is also where the emperor likes, so she has been promoting Ming Guifei.
Lian Yufeng was silent for a while, and then said: "The third prince is not born to the queen, but when he won the heir, he did not have a son for fear of being criticized, and directly recorded the son of the palace under the name of the queen who was still the princess at the time...... In the end, it was a scandal, and the first emperor couldn't bear to embarrass his son, so he didn't mention it anymore after the reprimand, and let the patriarch just count the child as a concubine and become the queen. ”
"Is that okay?" Su Yiqing felt a little incredible, the difference between the concubines and the concubines was a big crime, and ordinary people were still taboo, let alone the royal family.
Even the corners of Yufeng's mouth brought out a hint of sarcasm, "What's not to do?" The first emperor was not the queen's concubine...... The emperor, he will lift up whoever he likes, as long as he recognizes it, how can others say more? ”
Su Yiqing said that she understood, which is why everyone has to fight for that position, not that the chair is really more comfortable than other chairs, but the feeling that life and death are controlled in their own hands.
Lian Yufeng continued: "You should not know about this matter, just know it in your heart, after all, this is not a secret in the royal family, but most people outside don't know, and no one dares to talk about it in public, the queen and Concubine Ming are not compatible, but now the most favored is only afraid of Concubine Yan, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp, when the time comes, you will answer whatever they ask, don't say two words if you can answer in one word, don't worry too much, with my status today, there is no clear support for which side, they are all pulling together, So I don't dare to embarrass you too much. ”
Su Yiqing nodded, "I remember." ”
On the carriage, even Yufeng taught the machine for a long time, and then Su Yiqing did not have a chance to use it.
Because when they arrived outside the palace gate, they waited for a long time, but no palace people came out to summon them in, and a circle of carriages of foreign women and palace ministers had already gathered outside the palace.
Lian Yufeng's face couldn't help but become solemn, judging from his experience, it was likely that something had happened.
From the hazy dawn to the three poles of the sun, no one has come to announce, fortunately, even Yufeng has been prepared, there is a small stove and snacks in the carriage to satisfy hunger, people walk around outside the carriage from time to time, even Yufeng finally got out of the carriage, Su Yiqing saw him and a few men wearing python robes and jade belts talking about something in a whisper.
After a long time, he came back, sighed and said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you today, and there is news in the palace that Concubine Yan had a fetal gas last night, and she hasn't given birth yet, so it may be very dangerous." ”
Su Yiqing was taken aback, it wasn't that she was ruthless, she was indifferent when she heard this kind of tragedy, but the first thing she thought of was herself, she encountered this kind of thing the first time she entered the palace, what did Concubine Yan really do, would someone take advantage of the topic to play and say that she collided with something?
Lian Yufeng seemed to guess Su Yiqing's worries, shook her somewhat cold hand, and said: "Don't worry, if there is really something, first of all, people should talk about Princess Xiangshan, she married the sixth prince yesterday, and the six princes did not live separately, so they are the first relatives in the palace." ”
Princess Xiangshan of the Mengclan, Su Yiqing remembered, at first she was worried that she would fight Lian Yufeng's idea, but later I heard that it was not, and I was curious about who such a princess would marry, but her wedding date was approaching, everything was messy, and she didn't care about inquiring, even Yufeng mentioned it once yesterday, and said that she might have to go to the wedding, but in the end she chose to stay at home with her.
Immediately, a thought flashed in Su Yiqing's heart, but it just flashed, and in an instant she despised herself, eh! has just become a princess, how can she have such despicable thoughts? I actually want to take advantage of this unfortunate incident.
No, you must not be like this, you can't do something that is not on the table in the name of justice.
Even Yu Feng didn't know what he was thinking, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes looked through the curtain in the direction of the palace.
Su Yiqing suddenly felt that he should have the same thoughts as her now, right?
No one in the palace spoke, and no one in the carriage outside dared to go, until the sun went down and the time had passed, and then they went home. (To be continued)
