29. Royalty
The queen was of low origin, did not read and write, and did not study the thirty-six tricks, all she had was a little sensitivity and intelligence in the instinct of a woman's nature. She still doesn't know what kind of style the emperor has smoked after setting her up, and the affairs of the six palaces are also personally in charge of the queen mother's mother-in-law, but stepping into the deep palace and being in the whirlpool, the shepherdess who can not be blinded by the small profits in front of her and stick to her heart is already very remarkable.
She soon found that although the Queen Mother fully supported her after entering the palace, she did not treat herself and gave a little favor on weekdays, but any real benefits were left to the Li family. For example, when she first entered the palace, the Queen Mother also came forward to help her take other concubines. The arson case was investigated, and the mastermind behind the scenes, the Yongyi Marquis Cao family, was stripped of his title, and the head of the murderer should be exiled and exiled. He also named his brother who survived because he slept in the sheepfold.
However, back then, when the Northwest Horse Farm could obviously be handed over to her brother to earn merits, the Queen Mother would rather give the emperor a bar and leave that errand to her grandson. Uncle Fushan doesn't know how to do politics, and he doesn't know how to lead troops, just a sheep herding baby, and he spins around the livestock every day - he can only do this if he really wants to do something practical, but the Queen Mother is ruined by making a stalk from it!
Since then, the queen has also recognized the truth that the queen mother is good to herself: her mother-in-law is not rare at all as her daughter-in-law. She is good to herself, but she just wants to entrap her son for the good.
Her childbearing strategy was successful, and she quickly gave birth to the eldest prince and eldest princess, but this is only the first step in a long march! The harem has been so long, it's not easy to live, and it's too hard to be alone. So, the queen decided to huddle.
She has a very good impression of Concubine Yuan. Concubine Yuan is always indifferent, and she is tepid with anyone, even the emperor, just looking at her face, also
It is Concubine Li's facial features that are more gorgeous. And she has never been able to attract people, so she is not as aggressive as Concubine Li. But Concubine Yuan is a fair person who has her own city. The former is reflected in the fact that she will salute in a proper manner every time she sees herself, and the latter is reflected in the fact that Concubine Li has touched a nail several times when she tries to win over and suppress her, but the other party scratches her heart with a hundred claws but can't catch her at all. The queen liked it very much in her heart, and felt that Yuan Muxue had done everything she wanted to do and would not do.
After careful consideration, the queen took the initiative to fall to Concubine Yuan.
After Concubine Yuan entered the palace, she was favored by the sacred heart, and it has not faded so far. Concubine Li was very greedy and picked something out from time to time. Now that the queen is so slimy, Concubine Yuan is even more targeted by her strength, and she can no longer be alone.
Now it was the turn of the four princes to throw the pot, Concubine Li sneered with crooked eyebrows, and the queen gave him a big smile to encourage. Xiao Si took the arrow with both hands, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the concubine was holding the teacup: this is a signal, tell him to do whatever he wants, and there is no need to worry.
In most cases, Concubine Yuan gave her son such positive and casual hints. What's more, she probably knows what this strange atmosphere is going on today. Those women who thought they were smart but really weren't very smart were uncomfortable in their hearts. Because of two peonies. Everyone in the entire harem knew that those two flowers were Concubine Li's eyeballs, but today they were used to decorate Xiaosi's birthday banquet. But the emperor didn't pay attention to Concubine Li's crying, and he was still the same, but I was afraid that people with a heart would speculate that Concubine Li was going to fall out of favor! So they must do something to prove that this is just an accident, and the emperor still loves Concubine Li very much in his heart.
Yet they chose to compose poetry – a simple, effective and immediate approach. Break off my flower, but I sing it for your birthday, how generous?
However, Concubine Yuan knows how much she knows the inside story. This emperor is not a scholar at all, and he felt that it was enough after being pressed by his younger brother at the beginning. (It's true to enter the country for a thousand miles, but I really didn't hold on for a few days) The emperor said, the ancients ruled the world with half of the "Analects", and I have read several books, which is definitely enough. Look, you can also quote scriptures, which shows that your majesty's reading is quite effective. However, he doesn't know anything about poetry and rhythm, and he is afraid that he doesn't even know what Ping Qian is.
But the emperor still loves face very much, and every time the literati pretend to be forced in front of him, or when he wants to pretend to be forced in front of the children, he feels very distressed. At the critical moment, Yuan Muyun gave him a trick: no matter who writes poems in the future and asks you to evaluate, you only need to say two words, "It's okay." ”
Emperor: "Just these two?" ”
"Two words are enough."
"It's always a bit monotonous."
"You can say it with a straight face or you can say it with a smile."
"Then what poems do I see saying with a straight face, and what poems say with a smile?"
"Don't read poetry, look at mood."
"Works?"
"The poems that dare to be brought to the emperor have never been too bad, so these two words are pertinent and inappropriate in most cases, and they also leave a lot of room for improvement for the other party. Besides, even if the evaluation is out of standard, it is also affected by the mood, not to blame you for not understanding, only to blame him for not having eyes. Besides, you are the emperor, who dares to be verbose? ”
"You have a point."
His Majesty, the speechless emperor, was as good as a stream, and later learned to draw inferences from one another, and became more and more comfortable in dealing with this kind of scene. For example, on the Shangyuan Festival the year before last, the three princesses wrote a poem "Yuan Night is the Thing", which happened to be in a good mood when he wrestled and won, praised "Shang Ke" twice, and casually ripped off the Hanyu Nine Dragons on the belt and gave it to the third princess.
The third princess thought that she had pleased her father, and she walked with the wind for two months in a row. The masters of the stimulating harem have stepped up their training to read and write their babies-
not only pretended to be successful, but also indirectly promoted the education of children, and even the Queen Mother liked it.
Unfortunately, tonight, they didn't succeed.
The pitching pot of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion is still going on, and after a round, the second princess and the third princess are all victorious, and the second prince also cast a chain, and everyone applauds. Then it was the turn of the little four. With a twist of his fingers, he played with a colorful flower and cast blindly with his back.
Concubine Yuan looked at it from her sleeve, and the arrow happened to fall into the pot with a crisp crashing sound. "Good!" The emperor laughed and picked out a peony hairpin with the mouth of a cup and put it in his bun. Xiaosi blushed and asked Concubine Yuan: "Mother, is it beautiful?" ”
"Pretty, of course pretty." Concubine Yuan enclosed him in her arms.
Concubine Li's face turned green. In a bad mood, she played abnormally, and the original game was nine out of ten, and she didn't even touch the ears of the pot. The emperor smiled very narrowly, and poured her a glass of wine himself. Unexpectedly, Concubine Li felt that the emperor was sincere, hated and annoyed, and insisted on disobeying, and the wine was splashed on His Majesty's face during the dispute.
At this moment, the emperor's face was completely pulled down, gloomy and dripping, and he didn't ask the palace maid to serve, he wiped his sleeve, shook his hand and left, and his steps were as if he was going to step through the stairs. The footsteps disappeared, and the Suzaku Pavilion suddenly fell into a dead silence. Concubine Yuan looked at the stunned crowd, Ying Ying stood up, pulled the four princes to the queen and saluted: "Xiao Sifang has just eaten too much gluten, I'll take him for a walk." Please forgive my sister for not being able to say anything, so I retired first. ”
Before the queen could speak, Concubine Li stiffened her neck and said, "The birthday of the fourth prince, your host, what's the matter if the master leaves the scene first?" ”
The queen was used to being snatched by Concubine Li, and she didn't mind very much, so she only smiled and picked up Concubine Yuan: "It's just right, Yongning Palace still has a pair of shoes that Your Majesty has not finished, let's go together." Then he looked around: "Tonight is lively, the sisters must have a play, I will not delay." ”
Concubine Yuan didn't answer Concubine Li, and when the queen finished speaking, she pulled Xiao Si with one hand, and took a step later to accompany the queen, and when she passed by Concubine Li, she stood still and looked over with a smile: "What my sister said is reasonable." I took the peony and made a pill to reduce fire and clear the spleen and sent it to Xianfu Palace, to apologize, and to comfort my sister's heartache. ”
Since Xiaosi was brought over, it is destined that she and Concubine Li will not be able to live in harmony, so there is really no need to pretend.
said that Caiyun took the big flower bag and left, leaving Concubine Li there angry.
By the imperial pool, under the pomegranate tree, Dong Yin was reading Shuheng and took wicker flowers to weave a garland. Dong Yin watched Shuheng fiddle a few times, and after a few rounds and hooks, a flower crown was formed, and he couldn't help but be amazed: "I really didn't see it, your little chubby paws are quite dexterous." When did you have this kung fu? ”
Shuheng proudly lifted it up and put it on her head: "Yes, yes, I am a little fat hand, I can't match your Dong Dacai's delicate and delicate girl, and I can draw and write." My sister has just discussed painting, which is very insightful. ”
"When it comes to flower and bird painting, I'm still worse than Sister Shen, she can be regarded as a leader." Dong Yin glanced at her: "It stands to reason that you have the good blood of a talented woman, don't waste it." ”
"Sister Shin"
"Shen Ge's granddaughter. She doesn't go out much, so you don't know. Next time, I'll take you to recognize it. ”
Girls love beauty, and Dong Yin, who prides herself on being a talented woman, is not exempt from vulgarity, and immediately took out the silver nested small hand mirror in her purse to look at herself, looked at herself, and felt quite satisfied. So he rubbed Shuheng's face again: "You little thing, you have some strange skills." What other good crafts are there, quickly recruit. ”
"No, no." Shu Heng was busy saving his face from the devil's grasp: "This is what Granny Song just taught me." I'm clumsy, and I can't learn much at once. ”
Dong Yin still didn't believe it, so she just rubbed her, and was playing, when she saw that the eunuchs and palace maids in the Vermilion Bird Pavilion were carrying the lanterns with a cane, and many beauties were leaving. Seeing Concubine Yuan leaving with the four princes from a distance, Dong Yin asked, "Are you going to find your aunt?" ”
Shuheng shook his head: "Auntie is only afraid that something will happen, let's go to Yongning Palace next time to trouble her." Besides, my mother has to rest well, and I'm afraid that if we talk for a while, I'll have to go home. She turned sideways slightly, and noticed that since they went out in the Baixiang Garden, there were several women around the county lord of Wenhe and all the words, and they didn't need to think about it to know that they must be carrying out the 90 Dou Conference with "Shuheng and Dong Yin" as the target of attack. It hasn't stopped until now?!
Dong Yin also saw it, and snorted in his nose: "If you don't dare to compare gongs and drums in front of you, you will only bite in the back." The one in red was Jia Ying from the Lingguo Mansion. Is the family of the third grade or above, what is she? The daughter of the outsider also dared to get inside. The stupid one is Ji Min from Shoushan Bofu. I don't like to see her smile the most, so I have to cover my mouth with a handkerchief, and I can't make it pretentious. I don't know how to be a lady to her, and I know how to be her bad breath. ”
Shuheng couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister is a good mouth, but talented women are different." ”
Dong Yin glanced at her: "Forget it, just your mouth, Wen and face are white." ”
Shu Heng said with a smile: "To be honest, Wenhe's cultural accomplishment is considered a top among girls of the same generation. I don't like her style. As the saying goes, a person's taste depends on her friends, and a person's ability depends on her opponents. Go to Zhilan and initially, the wise man does not do it. Wen He prefers to mix with those who will flatter. ”
Dong Yin agreed: "Don't pay attention to them, let them go." As he spoke, he pulled Shuheng and walked along the riverside: "Just leave them, out of sight!" ”
The two of them guessed well.
