Chapter 80: Preparation
In the Fengxiang Palace, which was majestic and quiet in the past, it was also busy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Chu Shuhuang arrived, he saw some high-grade grandmothers and chief attendants waiting outside Fengxiang Palace, and the queen in the main hall with Concubine Xu and the mother of the second prince, as well as the eldest princess and Huang Mama were arranged.
Chu Shuhuang stopped outside the hall, and when Miss Xiang'er saw it, she greeted her, "Say hello to the princess." ”
"Miss Xiang'er is exempt, what's going on?"
Xiang'er replied: "Back to the princess, because Sang Guo wants to send an envoy to celebrate the birthday festival, Niangniang feels that the original arrangement is not suitable and needs to be rearranged." And the original arrangement had already been partially prepared, so I called the chief steward to see how it could be better. ”
"What about the other concubines, why didn't the second princess come?"
"Back to the princess, Concubine Su is in poor health and has asked for leave. The fifth prince and concubine have been sick and crooked, but they have been here for a while, and they couldn't hold back just now. The second princess had just been diagnosed as pregnant, and the mother ordered her to rest in the house and not have to come over. ”
There are fewer people in the palace, but there are fewer people doing things.
Because since the founding of the Chu Dynasty, there have been almost no large-scale banquets except for the New Year's celebrations, so there is no such charter, except for borrowing from the old classics of the previous dynasty, you have to start from scratch.
Fortunately, over the years, the queen has cultivated a group of useful palace people, as long as the charter is sorted out.
Chu Shuhuang nodded, and asked again, "What about Rui'er?" ”
"Princess Sheng brought the king of the county over, but she didn't have time to take care of it, so she asked people to take the king of the county to the apse to play. His Royal Highness wanted to see the prince of the county, and the slaves and maids went and asked them to bring the king of the county. ”
"No need, you go and serve, this palace will go to the apse and have a look."
Xiang'er bowed and retreated, Chu Shuhuang looked at the people in the hall again, turned around and led people to the apse.
"The king of the county, the king of the county, look at this tiger, ah-woo-, ah-woo-"
"Uh-"
"The king of the county, the king of the county, how nice do you think this rattle sounds?"
"Uh-uh-" The sound became more shrill, and Chu Shuhuang heard such a voice as soon as he entered the apse.
King Ruijun scurried around, catching something he didn't like and throwing it on the ground. He's been playing with this apse for a long time, and there's really nothing new to play about.
Chu Shuhuang entered the hall, and everyone in the palace hurriedly saluted, and King Ruijun also looked at Chu Shuhuang fixedly, "uh-uh-" and shouted.
Chu Shuhuang stepped forward happily and said, "Rui'er, do you miss your aunt?" ”
"Aunt-" King Ruijun swayed towards Chu Shuhuang, and the grandmother beside him hurriedly supported him, so that he could stand next to Chu Shuhuang.
Chu Shuhuang teased for a while, and found that Rui'er was only interested in what she was doing, so she asked the waiter to go to the front to explain the queen and Princess Sheng, and she wanted to wait for Rui'er to go to her Xuanya Pavilion to play for a while.
Back at Xuanyage, Chu Shuhuang let Rui'er play casually, and the palace people just need to follow and not bump into it.
She went back to the inner room to freshen up and change into her usual clothes.
Chu Shuhuang, who was about to play with Rui'er, had just turned out, and found that Rui'er was happily pulling the pots of her most beloved cyclamen in the hall, and it was already bald, completely unusual****** people were anxiously guarding aside, not knowing what to do, seeing Chu Shuhuang come out, he lowered his head a little weakly.
Chu Shuhuang looked at it for a while, and simply sat on the soft floor, admiring the art in Rui'er's hands while eating refreshments.
When he arrived in this new environment, Rui'er was very excited, every corner, everything could inspire him to have a lot of fun, and it was not until near noon that he was reluctantly taken away by the people around the queen.
Chu Shuhuang inquired and knew that Princess Yousheng was having lunch with the queen mother, and the queen was busy all morning, so she naturally had to take a lunch break. She stayed in her bedchamber, and after lunch, rested.
In the afternoon, Chu Shuhuang waited outside the queen's bedroom early, and when the queen woke up, he served the queen with the palace people to freshen up.
The queen said: "You are still young, just watch it first, and then serve the queen mother when you grow up." ”
"These little things can be done well, is it because the queen mother dislikes her son's clumsiness?" Chu Shuhuang asked with a pout.
The queen helplessly nodded Chu Shuhuang's forehead and said, "The mourning family's Huang'er is the best, who dares to dislike it?" ”
After grooming, Chu Shuhuang leaned on the queen's side and accompanied the queen to use Sydney bird's nest, "Queen Mother, your things are almost arranged." ”
"Well, it's roughly out, and the details will be finalized tomorrow morning."
"It's almost time to let the palace people do it, don't be too tired."
The queen said gently: "These little things are nothing. Moreover, this is the first time that our Chu State has held a longevity ceremony, and our children and grandchildren have to follow suit, so we naturally have to make a model. ”
In fact, the queen is not yet at the age of confusion, and when she is in her prime, Chu Shuhuang listened, nodded, and stopped speaking.
The queen paused, and then continued: "Everyone knows what Sang Guo is thinking, so we have to make a momentum and let them see." ”
In terms of court and politics, the queen didn't want to say more, so she didn't mention it anymore.
After using up Sydney's bird's nest, after the palace people withdrew, the queen asked, "How did you go out of the palace this time?" ”
Chu Shuhuang nodded again, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay." ”
"It's okay for you to be like this, it's obviously good! What do you say to the queen mother that you are so happy? The queen said sourly.
Chu Shuhuang heard the ridicule in the queen's words, but he still couldn't help but be happy, what should I do?
Chu Shuhuang pressed the corners of her lips, and gently told the queen about Hua Chang teaching her swordsmanship, and the queen listened and said leisurely: "Don't you have anything else?" ”
"It's a bit of a thing, my cousin asked me to bring you a message." Chu Shuhuang observed the queen's expression, although he didn't rush to ask, but he was listening seriously.
"What can he say? Say it, I'll listen. The queen glared at her complainingly.
Chu Shuhuang hurriedly said: "Cousin asked me to make an amends to you on his behalf, saying that he understands your thoughts, so that you can rest assured." ”
The queen took a deep breath and said, "How can I have the spare time to worry about him every day, and he doesn't have to send all the girls in his house out, and he doesn't have to show me." ”
Is that a worry or not?
She doesn't know about Hua Chang's girl, how can she persuade her?
"I look at my cousin's appearance, I really don't take it seriously, since I said that I would let you rest assured, I will definitely not let you down. In fact, my cousin is not too big, so it doesn't matter if he plays for two more years, he will know which one is really good for him when the time comes. ”
"You don't have to say nice things for him, he can play as he pleases."
Chu Shuhuang pursed his lips, this topic could not continue.
"Yes, you still have to be busy with big things, does Sang Guo have a female dependent this time?"
"There are no female dependents, but a civil official in charge was sent over, with your father and your eldest brother, we don't have to worry."
With her parents and brother covered, she naturally doesn't worry about anything.
