Chapter 010: Moisturizing Things and Leaving Shadows in Silence
Rou Jia asked sincerely: "Queen Mother, what should I do then?" ”
She is a person who has no opinions, if someone in this world says something that makes sense, Rou Jia will listen, but she will not listen to what Zhao Ting says, because she feels that what the kid said is never reasonable, and if she doesn't beat him, she will be kind to him. Many years later, as the emperor, Zhao Ting often ridiculed Baoyu, the king of Xiliang, and Yubao, the number one in the world: "Coward, I am afraid of Lin Qianyi, the court's chief minister." Xiliang Wang Baoyu replied: "Aren't you afraid of my sister-in-law Roujia?" Half a catty and eight taels, no one should laugh at anyone. ”
"You, you should go to the palace and see Yan'er." The queen reminded that she liked the quiet little county lord in her heart, but she was also more worried about her, because she was more assertive and stubborn than Roujia, and the relationship between Yan'er and the third child of the Lin family seemed to be deeper.
"Oh." Rou Jia knocked on her head, and felt that she should indeed go to the prince's mansion first to see Yan'er, although she had a conflict with Hanlin, but Hanlin was still in the capital, but that Lin Qianyi left Yan'er and went to Xiangbei: "Queen Mother, I know, I will go to the palace right now." ”
The queen stood up with a smile and asked the palace maid to put down the prepared food and clothes for Roujia: "Take a shower before you go and change into clean clothes." ”
"Got it, got it." Roujia said as she stuffed taro into her stomach, she hadn't eaten for a long time, and she was really hungry.
Leaving Roujia's residence, the queen returned to the dormitory, ordered some silk and taro to be prepared, and turned around and set off to the residence of the second prince Zhao Shuo and the princess Pan Meimei.
The queen was rejoicing. After becoming the mother of a country, her relationship with her children can still be like that between ordinary mothers and sons, and she was very worried before. If it is the mother of the world, will the emotions of himself and several children become inseparable, and there will be a gap unconsciously, like in other dynasties, the queen has become a high-minded, ethereal existence, and her own children respect themselves more than attachment, but fortunately things did not develop in that direction. Zhao Qian has always been very casual in private, and Rou Jia is even more willful and naughty, under the training of Lin Wan'er and Chen Nuonuo. Zhao Ting is less arrogant and gloomy, and more frank and hearty, for example, Rou Jia was bullied, and he was able to tell her the queen mother in a roundabout way. If only the boss hadn't died so early. The boss who is known for his benevolence is even more pleasing to people, and the Queen Mother has praised him for being like Taizu, but it's a pity......
Thinking about it, in recent years, only Zhao Shuo's relationship with himself is a little rusty, although when he sees her, the queen mother, he will smile kindly and behave naturally, but the queen always feels that there is an invisible wall between her and her second son. Can't get close, can't get close.
The residence of the second prince. Pan Meimei, who was sketching a mandarin duck playing handkerchief for Zhao Shuo, was very beautiful in her heart, she had heard about Rou Jia and the fourth child of the Lin family, and she had a word or two to provoke, Rou Jia, a stupid girl, was tricked, she was really stupid to ask Lin Hanlin, this kind of stupid question can only be asked by Rou Jia, and any woman with a little IQ and EQ will not ask this kind of question.
Sometimes she doesn't understand, how can Rou Jia have such a good relationship with Lin Wan'er, the silly girl's name for Rou Jia, she only dares to say it in her heart, but Lin Wan'er can say it in front of everyone, she is angry when she thinks about it, she can't get her a good face by trying everything to please that girl, but Lin Wan'er can...... Ay.
Once, at Zhao Ting's residence, Lin Wan'er gave Zhao Ting a problem of "chickens and rabbits in the same cage", and happened to catch up with herself at the scene. Lin Wan'er handed Rou Jia a peeled walnut: "Don't forget about you stupid girl, come and eat a walnut to replenish your brain." At that time, Pan Meimei felt that this Lin Wan'er was so uneducated, she should be so sarcastic about Princess Roujia, wait for this girl to lose her temper!
But Roujia's stinky girl smiled shyly, took the walnut kernel, blew the kernel with her mouth, and ate it deliciously. Seeing this scene, Pan Meimei's face did not change, but in her heart, she "cursed" Lin Wan'er and Rou Jia several times.
While thinking about her heart, while crocheting the handkerchief in her hand, Pan Meimei's thoughts are all shown on that beautiful face, when she thinks of happy things, her movements in her hands are faster, with a smile on her face, when she thinks of unhappy places, she sees the handkerchief in her hand as Lin Wan'er and others, and her face is full of hatred.
Joy, anger and sorrow are all manifested on the silver needle in the hand, or fast and fast, or light as flying......
Weaving and weaving, she suddenly felt that her room was too quiet, as if the air in the whole room was frozen, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the side, and she was suddenly startled, and suddenly raised her head.
The queen was standing in front of the door with a smile, I don't know how long she stayed! The change in his expression just now fell into the eyes of the queen!
Pan Meimei was horrified in her heart, looking at the queen's smile and those phoenix eyes, she always felt that there was a lot of meaning, as if her heart had completely fallen into her eyes.
Surprised, Pan Meimei hurriedly stood up and said slightly: "Knock on the queen mother." ”
The queen's brows also frowned inadvertently, and then immediately spread out, and said with a smile: "Get up, this palace hasn't come to your residence for a long time, taking advantage of today's situation, I specially brought some silk to sit here." ”
Pan Meimei hurriedly helped the queen to sit down, her eyes did not dare to look at each other, she was afraid of this queen from the heart, this fear began after entering the royal family for a period of time, she used to think that the queen was a very kind person, but as time went by, she saw the queen's eyes, and felt that she had an insight into it, and her little tricks and cleverness were like children playing at home in front of the queen, and they were worthless.
The queen waved her hand gently, and the palace maid handed the silk up, reached out and took out a horse, gently draped it on Pan Meimei's body, and exclaimed: "Meimei can still control this red color, which is both beautiful and luxurious, and the two girls of Roujia and Yan'er can't do it." ”
As soon as the silk was draped over her body, Pan Meimei felt her heart tremble. Hearing the mention of Roujia again, her heart jumped to her throat, and she smiled forcefully: "The queen mother has won the award." Roujia and Yan'er are well-behaved and cute, with a good heart, and a plain color, only a layman like Meimei likes the cheesy color of red. ”
The queen smiled softly, nodded, and exclaimed, "It is also her blessing that Roujia can have a sister-in-law like you. After speaking, she glanced up at Pan Meimei.
The shock in Pan Meimei's heart was like a stormy wave. Why did the queen only mention Roujia and not Yan'er, did she already know something. She cautiously glanced up at the Queen. happened to collide with the other party's eyes, and suddenly lowered his head in fright.
The queen deliberately did not speak, and the room suddenly became very quiet, making the atmosphere in the room take on an awkward atmosphere. And the air is getting more and more suffocating. The temperature seems to be getting lower. Pan Meimei's palms were already sweating, fidgeting, if she hadn't forcibly suppressed the anxiety and apprehension in her heart, she felt that she was about to cry.
At this time, the second prince Zhao Shuo returned to the palace from Qin Tianjian, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt a slightly embarrassing atmosphere, and smiled to greet the queen, which was regarded as relieving the embarrassment of the scene.
The queen let Zhao Shuo flatten. Some doted on the second prince and asked about some things about the court. Zhao Shuo also answered just right one by one. As the mother of a nation, the queen knows her duty, but more often than not, she sees herself as an ordinary mother who wants the family to be happy.
But getting along with her second son, she always feels that something is missing, she takes two steps forward, he will always subconsciously take two steps back, or keep the distance from the past, not only with herself, but also with his younger brother and sister, who always stay close on the surface, and are estranged in their bones. Zhao Gan's child has a cold temperament since he drowned, but his heart is still warm, but Zhao Shuo is not like this, he is a little like Chen Nuonuo's girl, wrapped in layers of armor, and no one can get close.
talked about some other topics, but the queen and Zhao Shuo were chatting, Pan Meimei sat absentmindedly on the side, bowing her head and responding. When it was noon, the queen stayed at the residence of the second prince to eat, and Zhao Shuo specially asked the imperial dining room to make some light and delicious meals, which the queen loved to eat. At the dining table, Zhao Shuo kept giving food to the queen and Pan Meimei, but he ate very little.
It seemed that it was unintentional, but in fact it was intentional, the queen smiled and asked, "Shuo'er, the queen mother asked you a question?" ”
Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "Queen Mother, please ask." ”
The queen put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Pan Meimei, and asked with a smile: "If the queen mother and Meimei fall into the water at the same time one day, who will you save first?" ”
Pan Meimei was shocked in her heart, her hands holding the dishes and chopsticks began to tremble constantly, and she was uncomfortable in every part of her body, the queen knew, she knew everything, and she came here today to remind herself and remind herself to be honest.
The smile on Zhao Shuo's face gradually froze, and then froze at a certain moment, not knowing how to answer, and then smiled: "Of course, it is to save the mother first, and filial piety is the first, as the sage said in the book." ”
"Save me first?" The queen smiled and looked at the restless Pan Meimei, with a smile in her phoenix eyes, and complained in a complaining tone: "Shuo'er, you have to save Meimei first, because the queen mother knows water." ”
Pan Meimei was struck by lightning, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, after saving her mother first, Meimei will also be able to water." ”
"Oh? It turns out that Meimei can also water. Then the queen mother didn't ask this stupid question. The queen got up slowly, took a sip of the tea handed by the palace maid, and rinsed her mouth, "The queen mother won't bother the two of you, the future days still need to be spent with the two of you, the queen mother is an outsider after all." Okay, the queen mother is not chattering, go and see how your father is doing. ”
After speaking, don't want Zhao Shuo to support each other, and leave by himself.
Zhao Shuo glanced back at Pan Meimei, whose face was pale, and asked with concern, "Meimei, are you okay?" Doesn't seem comfortable looking at you? ”
Pan Meimei shook her head stiffly, looking at the queen's back, as if she had experienced a sea of swords: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, I want to sleep for a while." ”
This is the queen's means, not thunderous, nor decisive, but it can moisten things silently, so that those who want to teach a lesson will remember it in their hearts and will be unforgettable for a long time.
Walking on the way to the imperial study, the queen couldn't help but sigh, Meimei is not a bad boy, but she is a little more feminine in temperament, and she always likes to play some cleverness, which is not as good as Chen Nuonuo's girl, and compared with her cousin Ouyang Xiaolan, she is also lacking.
It was these little cleverness that made the queen change her attitude towards the princess, at the beginning of Pan Meimei's entry into the royal family, the queen wanted to treat her as her own daughter, and did not let her experience what she had experienced back then, but the daughter of the prime minister's family often played some small tricks, and the queen also turned one eye open and closed one eye to the past. But there were a few times when Pan Meimei had gone too far, and the queen began to show her majesty, and before Pan Meimei's cleverness could be used, the queen smashed it in advance. At first, Pan Meimei felt a little strange, but she didn't care, and thought it was a coincidence, but as the number of times increased, Pan Meimei began to be a little alert, and later in retrospect, she felt more and more frightened, and her back was cold, and from then on, she saw that the queen's heart was like a rabbit constantly beating.
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but think of Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er's little girl is not "good at stubble", and she also likes to play some cleverness, but she has a big personality and can't hide her thoughts, she often has words and deeds that make people cry and laugh, and the cleverness she plays also has some funny colors. When she first became the prince's teacher, she and Zhao Ting privately discussed to "frame" Chen Nuonuo in schoolwork, and were later caught on the spot.
She began to refuse to admit it, and said, "I didn't." ”
Later, when His Majesty learned about this, Zhao Ting confessed, stood next to the imperial desk, and admitted that he had colluded with Lin Wan'er to "frame" Chen Nuonuo.
Lin Wan'er, who was called into the imperial study, glanced at Zhao Ting viciously and scolded in a low voice: "Traitor." Standing in front of His Majesty with his hands around his shoulders, the wicked man sued first: "It's not that I colluded with the Four Princes to frame Chen Nuonuo, but that the Four Princes and Zhao Ting joined forces to frame me." ”
His Majesty couldn't cry or laugh, and the queen hiding behind the screen couldn't help laughing.
Later, Lin Wan'er couldn't make it up anymore, and her neck raised again: "What's wrong with me, it's just that Chen Nuonuo is not pleasing to the eye, and he will still be imprisoned, Your Majesty and the queen, you can do it!" ”
His Majesty looked at each other in front of the queen, and shook his head at the same time, what else can he do, it's just like that.
In the future, Lin Wan'er often played some tricks, such as a little palace maid in Zhao Ting's residence would write a small note about Zhao Ting's life and study every day and hand it to the queen.
The identity of the little palace maid gradually surfaced, and Chen Nuonuo still wanted to be the same as before, as in the past, but Lin Wan'er always flattered this little palace maid when she saw it, so she asked the little palace maid to say a few kind words on the small note.
On several occasions, the notes passed by the little palace maid made the queen laugh for a long time.
"Today, Miss Wan'er came up with an excellent way to 'punish' Miss Nono, but when she was eating pastries at noon, she accidentally said that she missed her mouth, but she didn't know it yet."
"Today, Miss Wan'er suspended the lecture for one day on the grounds that the four princes did not listen well in class, the actual reason is that Miss Wan'er and the Lin family went out to eat grilled fish in the west of the capital last night, and they didn't have a good rest at night."
"Today, Miss Wan'er gave the slave a silver ticket and asked the slave to praise her on a note as a good teacher who was 'witty, intelligent, brave, lively, lovable, and diligent'."
