Chapter 222: The Vast Dream (6)
Just after the Shangyuan Festival, Du Ruhui's appointment edict was really issued, and the officials were still in charge of the soldiers and horses of the East Palace. This time, the military department and the official department are headed by him, that is, the household department is also to consider his intentions and act because of the transfer of rent and service. Since then, Du Ruhui has become a first-class minister in the court.
Then Mu Qing had no more days of tranquility. After Du Ruhui took office, he hated to be divided into three people, and he couldn't see anyone else in the house, so Mu Qing had to cheer up and dress up properly every day, and take care of the smile on his face, and come forward to entertain people from all walks of life. There are also the six palace people in the mansion, who are personally given by the saint and the queen, and such a scene rarely requires them to show up to meet the distinguished guests, so as not to leave some tongues. Judging from the situation shrouded by Du Ruhui's aura today, the scourge of tongue is the most terrifying.
From Shangyuan to March 3, she should follow the official family and noblewomen who came to the door to congratulate almost every day, and on March 3, she had a headache and really didn't want to move anymore. Ah Liu had to comb her hair in a bun for one wall, and comforted her, "I have shirked it with an excuse, so I can clean it for two days, and then I will say that I am not feeling well, how about it?" ”
"Don't go out and hug the sick, I don't know how to block it." Mu Qing shook his head, unable to even lift the strength to sigh.
"Lady, the eldest princess of Gaomi is coming to the house." The spring cold has not disappeared, and the beads of sweat on Du Qi's forehead seem to be in the summer, so he doesn't care about wiping them, and hurriedly comes in to return.
Mu Qing's heart couldn't sink deeper, but his body suddenly straightened up, "Can you raise a thin honor guard?" ”
"I haven't seen it, only two paulownia carriages. and four guards. The Yongxingfang gate that I just entered. ”
Mu Qing slowly sat back in place, his heart relaxed a little, but before he could say anything, there was a small servant outside the door and said: "The inner prison who has come to the palace to send the reward of the festival has entered the workshop, and I ask the lady to record and receive the reward as soon as possible." ”
Mu Qing felt dizzy in his mind, what day was it, the eldest princess visited and rewarded, is this because her life is not messy enough? At the same time, she had to pick up the two of them, but she really hoped that she was sick and couldn't get up from bed at this time. "Is there a reward for the Shangsi Festival? It's only right to come and find out what the palace maids are doing......" she muttered.
Du Qi, who came first to spread the word, heard the words "Shangsi Festival" at first glance. I remembered something. He slapped his head on the back, "Look at my memory." Saying that, he hurriedly said to Mu Qing: "Early in the morning, Ah Lang's orders, I ...... But I delayed telling the lady. When she got up early and went out, the lady didn't get up, and Ah Lang didn't teach to wake up the lady. He also said that today is the birthday of the lady. Ordered the kitchen to prepare a water guide. About the lady has been used. ”
Mu Qing then remembered that during today's breakfast, a maid brought rice porridge or soup cakes that were not eaten daily, but a bowl of water that was slenderer than soup cakes. It turned out that he had forgotten his birthday, and smiled bitterly for a while: "Don't say that you are too busy to remember, why don't I forget about it." ”
Du Qi and Ah Liu laughed together, and Ah Liu smiled: "Qi Niang really shouldn't be, how can Ah Lang not forget his hard work day and night?" ”
"Ah Lang also said that after the duty was dispersed in the afternoon today, he went straight to Kang Saburo in Dongshi City, and asked his wife Shen Shi to go to the Kang family's wine shop to meet him." After Du Qi finished his salute, he hurriedly gave up his hand and went out to take care of the trivial things that took over the eldest princess of Gaomi.
Mu Qing also hurriedly put on makeup, she glanced at herself in the makeup mirror in front of her, the white silk skirt, the beige jacket was still half-old, and the half-oblique single screw was only the small golden hairpin that she wore every day, and a few gold nails were pressed, and there was no makeup. Seeing that it was not the same, he picked out a soft silk silk with a silver and red curly grass pattern and wrapped it around his wrist and elbow.
Just dressed up, a delicate and timid voice hesitated: "If the lady can't cope with it for a while, you might as well let Danniang try, although she can't deal with it thoroughly, in the end, she has been educated in the palace for a few years, and she has served some tea and cheese." ”
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, but turned his face to see that his face was half-exposed by the door, and it was Danniang who was standing with his eyes down. Sure enough, he never gave up. Mu Qingsecretly changed his mind, and since he took the initiative to ask for help, he couldn't complain about her. Then she smiled kindly and beckoned Danniang in, "That's great." I'm worried about not being able to separate, and my sister is willing to help me, which is the best. My sister has inherited the teachings of the palace, and she is more thoughtful than me, so she has to ask her sister to take over the drive of the eldest princess of Gaomi for me, and when I receive the queen's reward, I will immediately come to ask the eldest princess for goodwill. Can it be made? ”
Danniang's dignified and smiling face suddenly collapsed, she was stunned for a moment, and responded with a little hesitation: "Danniang should try her best to share her worries for her son." The reluctance on his face could even be seen by Aliu.
When she walked out of the main house, Ah Liu glanced at her back walking towards the front yard and said suspiciously: "Since she mentioned it herself, how can she look reluctant?" ”
"She thought that although the name of the palace was bigger, but the left and right were an inner eunuch, not as good as the eldest princess of Gaomi, if I was too busy to be separated for a while, it would not be too rude for her to be received by the imperial 'concubine', so it was nine out of ten to go to the inner prison to show her face, so that the inner eunuch could go back to the palace to tell the queen that she had taken over half of my family affairs......"
Mu Qing stood up, dusted off the folds on her skirt, and smiled faintly, "The eldest princess Gaomi was originally married to the eldest grandson's family, and she has never been on good terms with the queen. And Danniang is from the queen's training, and I am so 'important', others think she is the queen's confidant. Thinking about it, the meeting between Danniang and the eldest princess must be difficult, and she can foresee it herself, so there is also unhappiness in her heart. ”
The meeting between Danniang and the eldest princess of Gaomi was not what Mu Qing expected. When Mu Qingxie received the reward, he hurried to the side hall of the ladies with Ah Liu, but seeing the disdain and coldness on the face of the eldest princess Gaomi, Danniang who was standing from the side described stiffness, advancing and retreating, a pair of breathtaking peach blossom eyes were half filled with water, and when she looked at the past, her eyes were slightly red, so pitiful.
"Why is Qi Niang so confused now." The eldest princess of Gaomi was very impressed because she knew about Mu Qing's deeds in the past, and she had a few more contacts with Mu Qing, and she was a straight intestine. Just think of her as close. Seeing Mu Qing coming at this time, she frowned, stood up from her seat and stepped forward, passing by Danniang's side, but only as if she didn't exist.
Mu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The eldest princess forgives her sins, Qi Niang is snubbing, it's really ......"
"I know that you are now burdened by your husband, and you are too busy to turn around, who blames you for this. But in the end, you should also put a serious housekeeper lady by your side to take care of it. If it doesn't work anymore, I'll send someone to help you. But you shouldn't let those bewitching things that are not maids and concubines come out to entertain guests, and they don't insult their own style. Those of us who know are only weak when you are too busy to turn around. You can't take care of everything. Those out there don't know. Speaking of which, it humiliated Du Shangshu's reputation in vain. The eldest princess of Gaomi is like a cypress leaf burning in the middle of the year, crackling and expressing directly. Don't look at Danniang who is blushing and tearful over there.
Mu Qing smiled and gave up her seat, glanced at the desk, cheese pastries, seasonal fruits, incense and clean basins, all in place, there is no mistake, this eldest princess can't find anything wrong with the etiquette, there are still so many resentful words, it can be seen that Danniang will take her for the time being, this idea is really good. This Gao Danniang is exquisitely clear, and she has a lot of eyes and eyes, but her rank is still poor.
"The eldest princess is complaining about Qi Niang's contempt, Qi Niang is ashamed, so she will replace the wine with cheese, first pay tribute to the eldest princess, and pay a loss." Mu Qing picked up the Yue porcelain cup on the case and handed it to the eldest princess of Gaomi with a smile.
"How can you learn the nonsense of those men's socializing." The eldest princess of Gaomi glanced at her and smiled. Seeing the eldest princess take the cup with a sneer, Mu Qing knew that she was not really annoyed, but she just didn't want to see the confidant palace people sent by the eldest grandson. Glancing at Gao Danniang again, she stood with her servants with her hands and low eyebrows, not advancing or retreating, her expression seemed to have accidentally chewed her tongue, her eyes were red with tears, and she never dared to let out a half pain.
The eldest princess of Gaomi took a sip of cheese, and the two of them did not politely give in to each other, and sat down to talk. The eldest princess crumpled the silk handkerchief that tugged the corners of her lips into a ball and held it in her palm, "It's also a shame that I drank it because of the cheese, if you really took the wine to honor me, I won't eat it." ”
Mu Qing let out a "huh" and put his surprised expression in place. It's not that she doesn't treat people sincerely, but because of the losses she has suffered in the past, she has repeatedly warned herself that any royal person must stay away to achieve long-term peace.
"You know, I have no mother since I was a child, and I rely on the mercy of Queen Taimu, who brought me with me to raise me personally, and I am treated the same as her sons and daughters, so I have lived better than those princesses and princesses since I was a child."
The eldest princess of Gaomi accepted the smile on her face, and the more she spoke, the more she became angry, "When Empress Taimu was here, she believed in Buddhism, and in the early years, I thought about finding a temple for her to worship for a long time, so as to fulfill my filial piety, but unfortunately fate has not arrived." Not long ago, I had an opportunity, in the Xuanping Fang in the south of the East City, the old nun of the Jingci Ni Temple passed away, and no one could take on the responsibility of the abbot for a while, and he intended to rely on the high gate. I don't know who said more, they knew my ambition, and asked someone to deliver the message, willing to rely on the royal family. ”
Mu Qing hurriedly bowed and said: "This is time to congratulate the eldest princess, after many years of long-cherished wishes, I can finally get what I want." It's good to teach the world to be a child and take a look at the royal example, it's the best, but the saint has allowed it? ”
"Naturally, I agreed." The eldest princess Gaomi's eyebrows and eyes were high again, "The sage still complained that he hadn't thought of it earlier, and now he has allocated money and silk to repair the Najing Cinun Temple, and invited the new nun to ascend to the throne, and I supervised the matter." That's why I've come to you in a hurry. The Tibetan scriptures in the temple were originally not short, but now there are still a few hand-copied scriptures, so that they can be made into prayer flags, and they can be used on the day the temple is opened. I privately thought, since it is to worship Queen Taimu, it must be copied by our women before it can be used, and it is calculated, among the officials and relatives who are close to each other, only you have the best knowledge, so you have to work for you, can you make it? ”
"The eldest princess can't help but underestimate Qi Niang, why bother to say anything about labor, this is the glory of Qi Niang." Mu Qing arched his hand and smiled, but said in his heart, since he said so, is it difficult to shirk it?
The eldest princess of Gaomi smiled even more happily, saying that she was the sister of a saint, and she was glorious, but the family members of the powerful ministers did not say that they could invite at will, and this remark moved Du Ruhui's relatives to help her and spread it, which really made her move the icing on the cake.
"The matter of copying scriptures is very particular, and it is necessary to bathe and fast, clean hands and burn incense, live in the Jingci Temple for a few days, and devote themselves to copying. I have to take Qi Niang to live in the temple for ten days, I don't know...... Is Du Shangshu reluctant? The eldest princess of Gaomi had a narrow face, and as soon as her voice fell, she covered her mouth and laughed first.
To stay in a monastery for ten days? Mu Qing's heart moved, this is good, these days, there has been a lot of visitors, and the Du family has been constantly investing, which really disturbs her impetuousness, and it is good to be able to hide for a few days. Her gaze swept to Gao Danniang who was standing on the side, but if she wasn't in Fuzhong Town, she didn't know what kind of waves those would turn out.
Suddenly, an unformed thought rushed through her heart, and she had no time to deal with these hidden dangers buried in her side for several days, so she could only take one step at a time, and now that she has come to this step, perhaps, it is an excellent time. (To be continued.) )
