(One hundred and three) The Queen Mother arrived
The slanted willow black bird fights for sleep, and the shoots are red after the rain at dusk. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When it was almost evening, there was a drizzle, and the palace concubines who were enjoying the flowers and chatting around the Biwu Hall had no choice but to go back to the main hall and sit down. This is not a time for leisure on weekdays, if the clothes are dirty for a while, and it is too late to change them, it will be a big mistake.
When the concubines returned to the main hall one after another and sat down, the sun just happened to spray the last afterglow on the horizon, and the sound of the bell chime was loud, marking the beginning of the banquet.
Now there are three thrones above this hall, the right side of the main hall is the queen's throne inlaid with purple lithium glow of seventy-two dragons and phoenixes and Ming, there are two empty positions next to the queen's throne, in the middle is the imperial throne carved with ninety-nine eighty-one golden dragons, and on the left is the queen mother's throne inlaid with rubies of eighty-nine seventy-two golden phoenixes.
After Zhong Qi stopped, Song Mier walked out of the side hall, her back straight, her neck tilted and looking straight ahead, and her hands held the ancient rite above her lower abdomen, which happened to completely reveal her Xia curtain, wide sleeves and Wangxian skirt. On the candle-lit hall, this dress lined with Song Mier's peach-like face, shining under the candlelight, the bright light was terrifying, and the palace concubine at the bottom held her breath without pretending to be self-conscious, watching Song Mier step by step on the high platform and sit on the queen's throne on the right.
But now there is no one in these two positions, and Song Mier is sitting alone in the hall, looking inevitably a little lonely.
As soon as Song Mier sat down like this, some palace concubines woke up from their amazing trance: What if she is beautiful and is a queen? Hold a birthday banquet, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not attend, see how long you can hold on to this seat.
The queen's mother suddenly lost the favor of Her Majesty, and Her Majesty had not set foot in Xuande Palace for several days, and when it came to the queen's birthday, she became the queen's laughing stock.
Besides, there is a good reason why His Majesty does not come, this queen mother has always shown special favor for our queen mother, today's banquet is about to begin, but she still did not show up, and even the palace people around her did not appear, I am afraid that I see that my son does not like it, and I am also estranged. So, where in this world is there a mother-in-law who really loves her daughter-in-law? It's just for the sake of the son, the son snubbed his wife, and the mother-in-law naturally won't like the daughter-in-law anymore.
So everyone looked at Song Mier's tender face, but they felt that it was Song Mier's pale face because of his fall from grace.
There was already a whispering sound from the palace concubine below, Qinghe and Dexiu stood behind Song Mier, Qinghe clenched his fists, looked at the palace concubine below, and there seemed to be a knife and arrow shooting out of his eyes.
"Master, they really deceive people too much! Look at what they look like! I don't know the rules at all! Just bully the master, you are kind! Your Majesty should have seen their faces! That's how they treat the mother of a nation! ”
Qinghe lowered her voice, her lips opened slightly, and it seemed that her mouth was not moving, but a sound came from her mouth, her voice was excited, and she seemed to be unable to control herself.
Song Mier glanced at Qinghe, but there was a warmth in his heart, Aunt Shujie was right, no matter what, Qinghe was thinking about herself.
But Song Mier didn't take the discussions and ridicule of those concubines in his eyes, "What are you anxious about, they will only use their efforts to find balance in their hearts." I didn't see the emperor in this palace, do you think those people who gloated did? It's not because they haven't seen it, so they can't wait for everyone to be like them, once someone falls out of favor, no matter who it is, they will be this face. ”
The most important thing to pay attention to should be those who have always been favored but are still restrained and gentle.
For example, Lan Guiji, for example, Yue Shuyi.
Song Mier silently added in his heart.
However, Song Mier didn't feel that he had really fallen out of favor, but the two of them had an awkward quarrel, and both of them refused to take the initiative to bow their heads because they wanted to save face, where is it so serious as falling out of favor? This is also the reason why Song Mier herself is not in a hurry, she still believes that the affection between Shen Zhan and her childhood sweetheart is indelible, and she is also confident that she is irreplaceable for Shen Zhan. However, if Shen Zhan really didn't attend today, then he would have to think about it again. Song Mier grinded his teeth silently.
"The banquet is about to start, when will the Queen Mother say?"
Song Mier was also a little puzzled, if it was usual, the queen mother would have arrived early in the morning, maybe she would accompany herself in her bedroom to make up, but today she was going to have a banquet and hadn't appeared yet, could it be that she had encountered some trouble?
"You go outside and see where the Queen Mother has gone." Song Mier turned his head slightly and instructed Dexiu.
"Queen Mother, when will our banquet start? The food on this table is going to be cold. Look at the emptiness around your throne, and when the cold wind blows, the food will cool faster! Liu Shuxing saw Song Mi'er ordering the eunuch beside him, and with a roll of his eyes, he guessed what Dexiu was going to do, leaned his body to the small table, and brought out the words with his elbows on his cheeks.
As soon as Concubine Liu's words came out, the followers laughed out loud at the right time, and the inopportune ridicule echoed above the empty hall, which made people feel even more embarrassed.
"Okay, you don't have much lunch, and you're waiting for dinner with your eyes, and you're in a hurry, what are you doing with strange dishes. I don't have any patience at all, and I'm really impatient. Yuan Wanyou twitched the corners of her mouth, raised her chin and glanced at Liu Shuxing who was above her opposite, "If you are hungry, you will be hungry, don't push your own problems on others, you look at those little palace concubines, they will all be damaged by you, and when the time comes, they will be punished for disrespecting the palace rules, and you will confess their guilt for them?" ”
As soon as Yuan Wanyou's words came out, Fang Cai's sneering voices instantly shut up, based on his loyalty, he felt that the queen mother was a kind person, but he forgot that the queen mother still had the number one person like the concubine here! The queen mother will not get along with these little palace concubines with her own identity, but the concubine will not care about this.
"Huh! That's right, but when it comes to palace rules, on the way to Xuande Palace today, the palace happened to bump into a miscellaneous dog that didn't know from somewhere, like a fork in the corner of the Xuande Palace, fierce and vicious, and almost collided with the palace. The palace is very hesitant, the dog in this palace collided with the high-ranking concubines, should they be punished according to the palace rules, or not? If it is punished, others will inevitably say that this palace even cares about a dog, but if it is not punished, maybe the dog will be complacent, thinking that even people will be afraid of it, and it will not be even more lawless in this palace in the future? Sister Shufei, this palace saw that you opened your mouth and closed the palace rules today, presumably these days, in order to pass the time, accompanied the queen to study the palace rules, so you can tell me, this palace will punish or not punish this dog? ”
"Liu Shuxing!" Yuan Wanyou was angry and slapped the table suddenly, but because this was at Song Mier's palace banquet, he couldn't lift the table to fight with Liu Shuxing, and he hated so much that his back molars were rattling, "What a sharp-toothed Liu Guifei Niangniang, I said that these palace people around you can't stand your temper and be humiliated by you, and I don't want to follow you anymore!" ”
"Hehe," Liu Shuxing chuckled, "I can't say it, don't use the girl around me as a shield, there is reason to go all over the world, and some people are at a loss, so naturally there is nothing to say." Look, my face is red with anger, Sister Shufei, you haven't told this palace yet, how to deal with that dog! ”
"When it comes to dealing with dogs, Concubine Niangniang may not be more experienced than Concubine Niangniang," Yuan Wanyou didn't open his mouth when a clear female voice sounded behind Yuan Wanyou.
I only heard the voice and continued, "Concubine Niangniang's father and brother are stationed at the border all the year round, and they will charge at the forefront whenever there is a war, how can you have time to pay attention to these cats and dogs, but your brother is the concubine Niangniang, I heard that he often fights chickens and dogs in the capital, and he is famous in the city." You have heard and seen it, and you must know all of this, where can you compare to you? ”
Yuan Wanyou turned his head suddenly, but it was Qin Shuya sitting next to a pillar, leaning on the pillar, his expression was indifferent, his fingers turned the teacup, and he didn't look at Liu Shuxing on the other side, so he opened his mouth.
Jiang Yuexi's eyes widened beside her: Didn't you say that I should not be impulsive? You're directly on the same page as the concubine, a hundred times more impulsive than me, is this really good?! ”
Liu Shuxing on the opposite side was also angered by Qin Shuya's words, and after following the prestige, he finally found Qin Shuya's location, and after seeing Qin Shuya's demeanor like that, his face changed several times, he finally didn't hold back: "Bold!" Licentious! A little Fanghua dares to talk about the family history of this palace, do you still have the rules of the palace in your eyes? ! ”
"The mourning family looks at this girl very well!"
Liu Shuxing was about to stand up and reprimand, but a female voice full of anger came from outside the door.
"The Queen Mother!" "The Queen Mother is here!"
With the arrival of this female voice, the hall was silent at first, and then the pot exploded.
I thought that the queen mother was disgusted that the queen would not come again because the queen had fallen out of favor, but I didn't expect it to appear! Could it be that even if her son no longer loves the queen, the queen mother still wants to support her?
The people below were very worried, and as soon as the Queen Mother entered the house, she knelt on the ground with a brush, "The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!" The concubine/slave maid asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye! ”
"Get up!"
The Queen Mother looked around, after all, it was getting older, it was spring, and the Queen Mother was also wearing a lynx coat, but her spirit still looked very good. The Empress Dowager untied the big flank and handed it to Dexiu, who came in with her, and stared at the heads of the little palace concubines who were laughing the most with an expressionless face, and then looked at her niece Liu Shuxing, who did not like her, and her face sank even more. When he saw Song Mier next to the throne, although he was blessed, he looked at him with great joy, his face couldn't help but soften, and seeing that she had been maintaining a half-squatting posture, he immediately walked to Song Mier in three steps and two steps.
"Good boy, why are you so stupid, the mourning family has said it, you don't need to salute when you see the mourning family, you have done a good job in Shoukang Palace, why do you have to bow to the mourning family in your own Xuande Palace?" While speaking, the Queen Mother helped Song Mier up, her tone full of distress.
"Good boy, have you waited a long time? Look at you in a hurry. The mourning family originally planned to come early in the morning, but something happened, the mourning family was so noisy that people turned over on their backs, all of them were uncertain, the mourning family was angry, and they did not remind the mourning family that the time of your birthday banquet was coming, all of them were panicked there, and they didn't even have the wit to come and send the letter. Mi'er, don't blame the queen mother. ”
Everyone hasn't gotten up yet, they are honestly kneeling and don't dare to come out, the Queen Mother's words clearly spread to everyone's ears, everyone heard this and felt bad: on weekdays, I only know that the Queen Mother loves the Queen Mother very much, but the Queen Mother doesn't like to ask others to go to her Shoukang Palace to ask for peace, no one has seen with their own eyes how good the Queen Mother is to the Queen, so I think that even if it is good, it is just a good thing to love the house and Wu, even if the Queen Mother was raised under the knees of the Queen Mother when she was a child, and it is not really her biological daughter, Is it better than your own birth? It's just because the queen pleases the queen mother in the face of the eldest princess when she is young, and when she grows up, she is loved by the queen mother. But if you really want to be good for the queen in your heart, I'm afraid it's hard to say. There are even many people who think that the queen is very fond of the queen mother, maybe it was released by the queen mother herself, but it was just to increase her bargaining chips in front of the palace concubines.
Therefore, the Queen Mother has not come for a long time today, and everyone doubts whether the Queen Mother is really liked by the Queen Mother as rumored.
But now listening to the tone of the Queen Mother, it is like the queen is really her own, and she is reluctant to salute, and she has to explain and apologize in person when she is late, and she is even worried that the queen will blame herself for not being punctual, where does the identity of the queen mother need to please the queen, this is really loving the queen!
The kneeling crowd couldn't help but tremble, thinking about whether they had any disrespectful behavior towards the queen and whether they would be seen by the queen mother.
"Queen Mother, you just said that something happened, what is it, so anxious, but serious? Why don't you let Mi'er help you? ”
Song Mier has always been innocent towards the Queen Mother, but he didn't pay attention to whether the Queen Mother deliberately said it so bluntly to the concubines and give herself face, and forgot that at this time, she should follow the Queen Mother's words and put her status to a higher place. She only grasped the point that the Queen Mother was in a bad situation, for fear that something big would happen and hurt the Queen Mother, her tone was very eager, and she also grabbed the Queen Mother's hand and checked that there was anything wrong with her hands.
But she didn't find that the Queen Mother's eyes looking at her were full of relief and emotion, "Silly girl, where is the mourning family so easy to get hurt, but it's all trivial things, it's because the mourning family has a bad temper and is angry now, so it's been tossed for so long." Your Majesty is also for this reason, and now he is still dealing with government affairs, and he can't wait to arrive later, he asked the mourning family to tell you, don't worry, don't wait for him, let's just eat first, and when he comes, eat some of your longevity noodles. ”
The concubines kneeling at the bottom made another "hum" sound, didn't the emperor mean it, did he really delay something? also specially asked the queen mother to accuse the queen? What kind of god twist is this? said that the emperor and queen are not harmonious, and the queen falls out of favor? Didn't the Queen Mother make up that paragraph just now to comfort the queen? However, even the queen mother will be angry, what is the government affairs that the emperor has to deal with until now? What's going on? Why didn't I receive a half-star message?
Song Mier also felt that the Queen Mother didn't see Shen Zhan coming, and was comforting herself and stabilizing these concubines in the harem? Therefore, he didn't bother with the reason that the Queen Mother said, and focused on making the Queen Mother angry. There was a time before the Queen Mother, her temper was very bad, although the reason was found, but Song Mier was afraid of leaving any hidden dangers, seeing that the Queen Mother said that she was angry again, she was very worried, but in front of so many people, it was not good to ask directly, so she had to look at the Queen Mother worriedly, "Queen Mother, you have to take good care of yourself, don't get angry at every turn!" ”
"The mourning family knows, don't worry! Today is the reason why the mourning family is like this, and it will not be in the future. ”
The Queen Mother patted the back of Song Mier's hand, and seemed to find the palace concubine who was still kneeling on the ground, "What are you still kneeling for, get up, if you don't get up again, the food will be cold." ”
The Queen Mother added the last sentence slowly, and the concubines who got up one after another suddenly thought of the argument between Concubine Liu and Concubine Yuan Shu, as well as the knife of Qin Fanghua, who was not afraid of death in the end.
Suddenly, everyone thought of what the Queen Mother Fang Cai said: "The mourning family thinks this girl is very good." ”
Countless eyes in the main hall stabbed at Liu Guifei and Qin Fanghua.
Liu Shuxing really hated his back molars at this time, and his nails were pierced fiercely in the palm of his hand, and he must have pricked blood without looking.
She didn't understand, she was obviously her aunt and a member of the Liu family, but the queen mother was like an enemy of the Liu family, and she didn't help herself in the palace on weekdays, but she still had to spoil Song Mier, who was not related to her and had no reason, I don't know if the Liu family and the Song family are not all the way? !
I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm not less laughed at by these concubines on weekdays, I have an aunt who is equivalent to nothing, and it's better to my sworn enemy than to myself, what kind of aunt is this?!
Liu Shuxing's eyes were gloomy, and the demure Shude hidden in his bones in the past was really gone in an instant, leaving only the dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother and the hatred for Song Mier. For the sake of a person surnamed Song, her aunt can trample herself in the mud and hold the surname Song in the sky. This time, Liu Shuxing really began to hate Song Mier.
But she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
I saw the Queen Mother take Song Mi'er and sit down, leaning on her golden phoenix ruby throne with a smile, looking around, and just said that the Liu family can't fight chickens and dogs compared to the Yuan family's children who are fighting on the battlefield? I heard, what is the surname Qin Fanghua?
As soon as the palace concubines heard this, some of them immediately showed gloating expressions, and dared to say in front of the queen mother that the Liu family was not, and this Qin Fanghua was afraid that it would be over. There are also those who combine the praise of the Queen Mother when she entered the door just now, but they feel that this Qin Fanghua is afraid that she has won the favor of the Queen Mother, but how strange is she to think about it, how can anyone favor people who slander and insult their family?
Liu Shuxing understands best, as soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, she immediately looked up at the Queen Mother, and her face turned white in an instant, could it really be that something happened to her father and brother?
Qin Shuya stood up and blessed the Queen Mother, "I've seen the Queen Mother." ”
The tone is neither humble nor arrogant, neither flattering nor arrogant.
When the Queen Mother saw it, the smile on her face deepened.
"Queen Mother, Shu Ya is my friend, and she is such a cold and indifferent character on weekdays, don't look at her calm appearance, in fact, she is a strong and enthusiastic person in her bones."
Song Mier saw that the Queen Mother seemed to love Qin Shuya very much, but she didn't think that she would share her favor with herself, but instead introduced Qin Shuya to the Queen Mother with a very proud look. The palace concubine who didn't fall to Song Mier at the bottom also hesitated a little, and the queen mother seemed to be really good to her insiders?
But said that the Queen Mother listened to Song Mi'er's words, and showed a satisfied expression, "I can get your praise from Mi'er, it can be seen that this child is really a good child, good boy, come up and let the mourning family take a look." ”
Everyone was a little confused, what did the Queen Mother mean, did she really think that what Qin Shuya said about the Liu family was good? Shouldn't she be reprimanded for her nonsense? Why is the rhythm wrong!
Qin Shuya didn't care about this, glanced at Jiang Yuexi beside her, and quietly made a cheering gesture for her, smiled slightly, straightened her back and walked up.
When she got closer, the Queen Mother looked at it carefully for a while, "You, you are the child of the Qin family!" When you entered the palace when you were a child, the mourning family still hugged you! You kid, why have you been in the palace for so long, and you don't come to Shoukang Palace to see the mourning family! The Queen Mother turned her head and asked Song Mier again, "It's just a flower?" This child understands righteousness, dares to act, and is a child of the Qin family, how can a little Fanghua do it, not to mention anything else, but this arrogant body, mourning the family, it is better to borrow Mi'er Your east wind today, even if it is a noble concubine! ”
