43. The Queen Mother gives beauty

Shuheng cautiously looked at her mother's face.

To be honest, it looks pretty good. There were no pregnancy spots, delicate and ruddy, shiny, and there was no tired appearance - at the beginning of the show, she went to Zhaoren Palace to rest, and slept until the end of the banquet. She was still smiling when she looked at the beautiful womanβ€”oh yes, Shuheng's hairs stood on end.

Smoked willow light gold anthoria tunic skirt, light blue folded white magnolia gown, Lingyun bun with a slight red velvet beaded flower. Walking is like the wind swinging willows, butterflies playing flowers, very romantic. This girl's name is Silver Butterfly. It is said that she is a very favored palace maid around the Queen Mother.

Shuheng tried hard to recall, there are many palace maids in the palace with the same posture and appearance as the background board, not ugly but not dazzling, there is absolutely no such type. Queen Mother, what are you doing with a bunch of flower girls by your side?

"These girls are all innocent women from good families. When Beirong was raging, the palace raised them by his side, disciplined and regulated, originally for the sake of having another harmony, so he acted as an adopted daughter, gave a name, and sent them to Beirong. But now, thanks to all the ministers and pillars of the society, my Daxia has a great prestige, and the country and the people are safe. These girls have been delayed for so many years in vain, and now they are given to you, one can show a little grace, two can comfort and serve, and three, it is also a good thing that these girls have a home, and it is also a merit for you. ”

The Queen Mother turned the Buddha beads, speaking unhurriedly, and the spring breeze of laughter was blowing.

Several ladies thanked them according to the courtesy, and responded in accordance with the rules, and they did not show the mountains and water. Out of the palace gate, the British public finally looked at the smart red girl, snorted in his nose, and gritted his teeth with a smile: "Since the girl was prepared by the Queen Mother to trap the King of Beirong with her gentle country, she must be very good at chatting and having fun." It just so happened that Aunt Lin in the house had two days of sun pain and three days of chest tightness, and with you by her side, she would definitely be happier. ”

The Duke of Fuguo was silent and silent from beginning to end, and there was a faint hint of arrogance and alienation common to a century-old aristocrat between his eyebrows. She got into the carriage directly with the support of the maid, without looking back. The wheels turned three times, and then as if remembering something, he said, "Who, arrange it in the car." Let the mother-in-law squeeze to the back. ”

Shuheng noticed that the Zelan girl was given such a cold reception, but he still looked still, and thanked him and went to pedal the car. I can't help but feel that it was the Queen Mother who adjusted it - look at this Su zhì!

Mrs. Yuan's reaction was the most interesting, she took Yindie's hand, carefully stroked the skin of her hand, raised her chin like a good girl, seriously rubbed her cheeks, and even stretched out her hand to rub the two balls under the thin silk clothes, pinched the small waist that was not grasped, and finally came to the conclusion: "Tsk, such a tender and watery girl, even I love it." ”

The silver butterfly girl was touched so that her face turned white and red, her heart was pounding, and finally she had the courage to say: "I came to serve the grandfather of the country by the will of the queen mother, and the lady will give her a way to live." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was like a warbler's cry, and he was also wronged, and the listeners not only softened their ears, but also their hearts.

Shuheng once again silently praised the business of these girls.

Mrs. Yuan is not an ordinary person. As soon as Yindie's words came out, she immediately withdrew her hand and shook it like snot: "So many people begged me to touch me, but I didn't touch it." It is said that the queen mother's conditioning is expensive, but I want to try to rub it twice to rub off the gold powder. But now it seems that it's nothing, and I don't know where the money is expensive. ”

Silver Butterfly obediently lowered her head, looking like a mermaid: "I listen to Mrs. Command, and I don't dare to say anything." ”

"That's good," Mrs. Yuan pointed to the streamer spring: "I want to eat fish, you go down to catch it." ”

Yindie looked at the clear flowing water and the depth was too deep, and her face was hesitant: "I don't know water." ”

Mrs. Yuan rolled her eyes: "Then don't say that you 'obey all orders'." Can you ride a horse and shoot arrows? ”

Silver Butterfly was stunned: "No." ”

Mrs. Yuan crooked the corners of her mouth: "How can someone who serves the king of Beirong not know how to ride and shoot?" The Queen Mother didn't think about this. ”

Silver Butterfly's face switches between red and white again.

"Do you know how to herd sheep and mow grass?"

"Won't"

"Do you know how to do laundry and cook?"

Silver Butterfly silently hid her tender fingers in her sleeve: "No." ”

"You can sing and dance, right?"

Silver Butterfly's eyes lit up and nodded quickly: "Yes." ”

"How does it compare to a dream?"

Silver Butterfly's face was as ugly as splashing ink for a moment. Hua Rumeng is the most famous courtesan in Qionghua Building. A song is worth 10,000 gold! But a courtesa is a courtesa after all, so how can you compare her?

"It seems that it can't be compared," Mrs. Yuan's tone was full of sincere disappointment: "I can still save some expenses in the house." Can you write? ”

"Yes." Silver Butterfly's melodious tone had begun to stiffen.

"It doesn't seem to be completely useless" Mrs. Yuan handed over a thick copy of the "Diamond Sutra": "Grandpa believes in Buddhism, you should know." Take it and copy it. Mother Kong, beckoned someone to clean up the red pharmacy. The color of the window screen is no longer bright, let's change it to a small pink. Newcomers, new atmosphere. ”

Silver Butterfly took the Diamond Sutra with a white face. When she saw the furnishings of the red pharmacy, the bright furniture, the exquisite paintings, and the two girls who were respectful and silent, she felt a little better. A cup of mellow Pu'er hot tea went down to his stomach, and his face was white and red and lively: Mrs. Zhengfu, I always have to give it, and I must knock it when I am on the head. These were all expected by her. There will be a long time to come.

In the Ronghua Hall, Mrs. Yuan was leaning on the autumn-colored gold-threaded python pillow, putting her feet on the red lacquered plum blossom stool, and letting the chrysanthemum leaves beat her legs. Shu Heng silently looked at her β–‘β–‘ a beauty who had just started, and now there was still a mystery in his heart, so he tiptoed over gently. Mrs. Yuan, who closed her eyes and recuperated, sneered: "I'm not asleep, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Shuheng scratched his head: "Does the royal family like to send beauties to his subordinates to show their love?" ”

Mrs. Yuan said: "Look at people." Now the saint is fine. The emperor liked to do this kind of thing the most. ”

Shuheng leaned on the side of the bed with his face together: "The emperor rewarded it, and it would be disrespectful not to accept it." But it's hard to settle down. Men have merit in running errands, but don't women have merit in governing the family? It's about harming the other. Stinky men have a lot of things, and women are so pitiful. ”

Mrs. Yuan looked at her daughter pouting and looked resentful for herself, and pinched her face with a smile: "It's so pitiful, it's not our turn anymore." And it's not a big deal. This is the time to look at personal means, either endure or be ruthless. It is said that the Duchess of Liangguo at the beginning, seeing that the man brought a young and beautiful sister back, rushed out with a knife without saying a word, one against her own neck, and the other against her son's neck. Let it out, there is no her, there is no me, there is no her! As soon as her husband hesitated, there was a blood mark on her neck, which was really cut! As a result, Liangguo Gong knelt on the Golden Palace to plead guilty, and begged Emperor Wen to retract his fate. ”

Shuheng nodded, imagine that it was his turn, but he was afraid that he would not be able to play that kind of vigor, so he had to endure it alone. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but blame the man: The emperor values the loyalty and talent of his ministers, don't you need them if you don't accept these women? The minister is really, as long as your ability is still there, don't you want these fat powder shells, you will fall out of favor? In the final analysis, it is the inferior nature of greedy flowers! The Emperor's bounty is just a glittering excuse.

Thinking of this, she was a little puzzled, according to Mrs. Yuan's temperament and the current status of the Dingguo Mansion, it doesn't matter if she refuses, why put up with it?

Mrs. Yuan looked at her daughter's clear eyes, as if she guessed what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "The noble concubine Niangniang has noticed the situation in Yong'an Palace a long time ago, and she has revealed some news in advance. As soon as I consulted with your father, I knew that the Queen Mother was a little panicked. After all, the impact of the Liang Wang case is very large, and the implication is far-reaching. In the early years, the Queen Mother was deaf and clear-sighted, and she still wanted to listen to the government. Although it was rejected by the cabinet ministers with 'the story of the queen mother listening to the government in this dynasty', he did not give up for a long time and stared at the government. But this time such a big thing happened in the court, but she didn't know the news until the end, which must have made her very unwilling. ”

Shu Heng instantly understood: "The Queen Mother wants to put a secret agent in and act as her eyes and ears." ”

"yes. However, the execution of the beauty plan has always depended on the person. Our family, your father, I have never been worried. So it's disgusting, but it's okay. In order to prevent other messy and unguardable means, it is better to take people away and let the Queen Mother breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Mrs. Yuan laughed in her nose: "It's still not as good as before in Xianghua Mansion, and there have been no promising sons and daughters for two generations in a row." Otherwise, you can directly insert eyes and ears in the court, where can you use this trick? Men, you still have to rely on men. A woman is married to the emperor and becomes the queen mother, but she can't count on her mother's family? ”

Shuheng heard some sadness and injustice from these words, and she was preparing to comfort and comfort this pregnant woman, so that she would not think too much and raise the baby with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yuan sat up and patted her head: "No matter how rich the family business is, no matter how capable the man is, he must have the ability." The money that should be there must be firmly grasped, and the connections must be well contacted, so one day, if you leave home and leave the man, you can live a full and reliable life, and that is a spectrum. ”

Seeing her daughter's childish face, for fear that she wouldn't understand, Mrs. Yuan explained again: "Do you know Bai Suyuan? ”

Shuheng nodded: "Yes." Mr. Woman. can write poems and paint, and also make very beautiful jade flower notes. ”

"I admire this person in my heart. She never married. ”

When Shu Heng heard this, he touched his nose, it turned out that your goddess was her. No wonder there were a lot of conditions for proposing marriage that I wanted to fly to the sky, as if I was afraid that I would get married.

"She was also a nobleman. But his father was a good drinker, a gambler, arrogant and lawless, and was soon convicted, and many of the children involved were imprisoned and suffered. Only this Bai Suyuan, because of her good reputation, good demeanor, and habitual life, she detected the signs in advance, left home early, and cut the dust, so she was not guilty. All her brothers and sisters died, her fiancΓ© also divorced, and later became a loner. Originally, the world thought that her life was so miserable, but they didn't know that she was living more freely and happily. How many people are proud to get her ink treasure, and girls will see it as an honor to get her guidance. When I first went to meet her, I was fortunate to meet her paper workshop, and tsk, the income of the jade flower paper was enough for her to live a prosperous life. ”

Which woman in this world can leave a man now? But isn't Bai Suyuan still alive and spirited? Therefore, the most important thing is to find your own value in life. These words were added by Shu Heng in his heart.

Mrs. Yuan's face had a peculiar light: "What about being the queen mother?" I always feel that such a woman is really capable. ”

Shuheng silently thought that if a woman like Mrs. Yuan reached the 21st century, she might be more like a fish in water. Born with the skill points of a strong woman.

Mrs. Yuan indulged in her self-imagination for a while, turned her head and saw that her daughter also looked melancholy, and stretched out her hand to poke her head: "That is a legend after all." For thousands of years, there has been a Bai Suyuan. So it's only right to find someone to marry. With a mother to check it, who dares to let you be wronged? ”

Shuheng covered his forehead, so speechless, he let you say the right thing and the other way. Well, it's good that you're happy.
