Chapter 33: The Crown Princess
Before entering the Cining Palace, there was laughter, and I smiled and was helped by Xia Xi to step into the Cining Palace and said: "The concubine and the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager please be safe, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Wanfu Jin'an."
Because there is no East Palace, all the little masters go to Cining Palace, and the highest concubine at this time is Concubine Tong Jia, I saw her quip: "On weekdays, Concubine Ping's sister is the earliest, but now she is not as good as your sisters" said and turned to the Queen Mother: "The ancestors are starting today, but they want to hurt your sisters."
"It's not the concubine's fault, the sisters have filial piety, after not entering the palace, they don't have time to rest and come to the ancestors to fulfill their filial piety, it's not that the concubines are late."
"You girl, if you come to mourn the family once, you won't hurt you, if the mourning family doesn't hurt you, you may not be able to harm the mourning family."
I don't follow: "The ancestor has a grudge again", since I was a child, I had to receive a reward every time I went to Cining Palace, and my sister once joked that I came to Cining Palace to ask for a reward, so I said so.
At this time, I sat opposite the concubine, and instantly felt that there were more eyes staring at my body, not that I wanted to do so, only this seat was reserved at this time, and the queen mother beckoned to me. Xia Xi saw that I was quite uncomfortable, so she took a cup of tea and handed it to me, diverted her gaze a little, I drank a cup of tea gently, reached out and handed it to her, and smiled at her.
When the Empress Dowager saw Xia Xi on the side, she knew my intention to bring her here and said: "The mourning family said that Xia Xi will get along well with Yao'er, you see how well this master and servant get along" smiled towards the Empress Dowager.
"Yao'er hasn't thanked the ancestor yet, Xia Xi has advanced and retreated, and he has a deep meaning of concubine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch hurriedly shouting: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is auspicious."
I saw a small bright yellow figure rushing forward, followed by a little eunuch panting, thinking that it was all the way to run, only to see the person in yellow clothes stop suddenly, bend over and say: "Baocheng and the ancestor please peace, the ancestor Wanfu Jin'an", the glutinous voice instantly into people's hearts, people love it.
I looked at this figure stupidly, tears unconsciously left in the corners of my eyes, trying to find similarities from him, but I was also afraid that he would not have a good life and whether he had lost weight.
"The concubines and the prince ask for peace, and the prince is blessed with peace and security" The concubines with low status owe themselves.
I just woke up and owed half of my body, although the prince was small, he also knew the courtesy, and did not receive the full courtesy. The emperor taught him very well, I thought silently.
I saw him looking at the concubines, looking left and right, and then he was quite disappointed and depressed. "Bao Cheng is not at the master's place at the moment, how can he come here, if your emperor Ama knows it, he will definitely train you," the Empress Dowager said.
"Bao Cheng misses his ancestors."
Seeing that Baocheng was unhappy, he attracted his attention, pointed at me and said: "She is the sister of your imperial mother, and she is a little similar to your mother, so you don't feel bored when you have time to go to her." I saw that his eyes lit up and looked at the place pointed by the Queen Mother, as if he was happy and sad.
I looked at him and didn't speak, but I didn't know how to speak for a while, I still saw him when I was born, I haven't seen him in the past three years, and I haven't asked, Xu is psychological resentment is still there, but it's ridiculous to blame him, but I don't know if Xuan Ye is like this, he has already entered the palace to take care of it.
"Bao Cheng has also grown up, and I still remember that I was just a baby in my early years, and now I am three years old."
"It's not so big in a blink of an eye", as if he remembered something, his eyes were red. Everyone knew that the old ancestor thought of something unhappy, so they told a joke and led it away, during which the prince kept looking in this direction, Xu was afraid of seeing the condemnation in his eyes, so he kept dodging and did not dare to look.
When everyone dispersed, I hurriedly helped Xia Xi to leave, Xia Xi came with a puzzled look, I didn't explain, she was a smart person and didn't ask.
Back in Jingyang Palace, I entered the inner room, looking at the purse in my hand, the mandarin duck playing in the water show is immature, this is the first purse embroidered by my sister back then, when I was a child, I thought that this was the first time I embroidered a purse after Kangxi Yuan, if I got it now, I could sell it for a lot of money, so I asked for it, but now it has become the medium for me to miss my sister.
"What's wrong with the master, it's been like this since I came back from Cining Palace," Shihua asked Xia Xi.
"Today, the master met the prince in Cining Palace" Xia Xi only said one sentence, thinking about seeing the poems and paintings, but feeling bitter, it was not as good as their master and servant beating children. Xu is poetry and painting noticed the changes in Xia Xi, and explained apologetically: "The master has the best relationship with the queen of the yuan, and the second elder brother is ・・・・・・."
Xia Xi didn't say anything when he knew how, but he thought in his heart that the master and the second elder brother had a lot of affection, and who could say it in the future.
Shihua only wanted to let Shiyu come to make the master laugh, so he called the eunuch to the small kitchen and said: "The master is not happy today, you go and call the girl from Shiyu, she has her own way."
I saw that the little eunuch hurriedly went out of the door but heard a sound: "Oops", and he was really scared into a cold sweat when he looked at it: "The slave should die, the slave should die and didn't see the prince coming, and he collided with the master" The little eunuch trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, who expected that the prince just wanted to raise his hand and say that it was okay, and the father-in-law next to the prince kicked over and scolded: "Dog slave, no eyes."
I saw this scene when I heard the sound, and angrily reprimanded: "He is a dog slave, what are you, isn't it that you are like this on weekdays, this palace has enlightened the emperor, and you have brought the prince to the province", this anger is not unreasonable, I haven't seen the prince want to give up, but the reaction of this slave must have been done often with the tacit consent of the prince.
When the prince saw that he was just a little minion, he became angry, thinking that I didn't like him, but the child was very aggrieved: "It turns out that what those palace maids said is true, Bao Cheng was born to be a mother, and my aunt doesn't like Bao Cheng."
I was surprised: "What", hurriedly walked to Bao Cheng and squatted down: "Where did the palace maid say that" and looked at the little eunuch beside Bao Cheng angrily, and the little eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "The slave doesn't know."
I expected that this must be the conspiracy trick of those concubines in the palace, self-blame and distress welled up in my heart, presumably this child has been hiding it, and now I see me like this to him, I believe in him even more: "Baocheng said that we are not good at Baocheng, my aunt likes it, your mother loves you and your sister, otherwise she would not have given birth to the two of you."
Seeing that Baocheng was ignorant, I said with pity: "Good Baocheng, Baocheng just needs to know that your mother loves you the most in the world, and my aunt also likes Baocheng and Mengfang the most."
Bao Cheng heard the crying for a while before choking up: "Auntie ignores Bao Cheng today."
"It's my aunt's fault, my aunt shouldn't ignore Bao Cheng today, my aunt should be punished, and it's good to punish my aunt if I punish Bao Cheng."
The child is also quick to forget, and when he heard this, he thought hard: "It's good to punish my aunt to play with my sister."
"Why, doesn't Bao Cheng play with my sister?" I wondered.
I saw him raise his forehead like a little adult and said proudly: "Baocheng is an adult, how can an adult always play with girls."
Seeing her like this, I pinched the bridge of her little nose and smiled: "My sister is not an ordinary girl, she is the sister of a mother's compatriots."
Seeing me pinching the bridge of his little nose like this, Bao Cheng, who had never been pinched before, blushed with shame, and pinched the bridge of my nose quite curiously, and I almost shed tears when I saw him like this.
"Auntie, don't cry, did Bao Cheng do something wrong" Bao Cheng wiped my tears in a panic, thinking that he had made me cry and blamed myself.
I hurriedly explained: "It's my aunt who is crying happily, Baocheng is right", hearing that I was crying happily because he pinched his nose, a slightly excited face and a little shy, I was happy and distressed, happy that the child has not become bad but is young, and he can be changed by being spoiled by the eunuchs. The distress is just the most common interaction between mother and child, but Baocheng has never had it.
"See the emperor, princess, the emperor's princess Wanfu Jin'an" The palace people outside the door saw the emperor walking by the princess with his hand.
I walked over and bowed and said, "See the emperor, the emperor is blessed."
"I heard that Bao Cheng came to you, so I came to take a look, and Mengfang was also clamoring to find my brother" said and waited for the prince: "Ba Shifu left it there, ran out by himself, and saw how I punished you."
Bao Cheng looked at the emperor with a crying face.
I saw the smiling face, walked over and squatted down, and asked softly, "Auntie hugs it."
The princess timidly looked up at her Emperor Amma, and when she saw him nodding her head and gently "en", I was very excited, and carefully hugged her, for fear that a little effort would hurt her, and cried: "Like, very similar to my sister."
"Grandma, is Fang'er like Eniang, but is she like her" He pointed at me as he spoke.
The emperor took it and said: "She is your aunt, and she will be called Eniang in the future, you are a little similar to Eniang, but your Huangniang is gentle and dignified."
"If Mengfang wants to know what the emperor looks like, when we Mengfang grows up, just look at ourselves."
"Huang Ama, is what Ping's mother said true?" said the sleeves of the emperor.
Xuan Ye missed: "It's true, Fang'er is like your emperor's mother", Xu is his own words were recognized, and Mengfang's silver bell-like laughter made people happy and comfortable to listen to.
Maybe this kind of life is not bad, the emperor thought to himself when he saw this scene, and looked at me who was talking to Bao Cheng, Bao Cheng was happy, and he also relaxed, and the qi qi of the previous dynasty seemed to be put down, enjoying the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
