179. Chapter 178
The palace maids and female officials of the harem went to meet their families, but the queen had nothing to do in the palace, so she sent someone to invite An Sui to paint in the garden of Kun'an Palace.
In fact, the queen wanted to meet the eldest prince, and An Sui didn't understand how to make the eldest prince's grandmother go with the eldest prince.
The queen was really happy to see the eldest prince, and asked about the eldest prince's homework and daily life again and again, but for a while she put An Sui aside. But I didn't want Zong Zheng Yangqing to be very eye-catching, and hurriedly came to see him, breaking the embarrassment, "This palace often hears rumors about Lord An in the palace, and I finally got to see it today." ”
An Sui is also the first time to see Zong Zheng Yangqing, who was named the lord of Nan'an by the emperor, with beautiful facial features, but he is five points similar to the queen, and his age looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
I heard that most of the girls in the Zongzheng clan grew up on horseback, and this Zongzheng Yangqing should be no exception, An Sui accidentally caught a glimpse of the calluses that seemed to be on her hands, and knew that this was true.
"The county lord is gracious."
Zong Zheng Yangqing shook his head, "We girls who grew up on horseback will never be polite, if we praise others, we must be sincere." I often hear people in the palace say that Master An is a talented woman, so this palace is also very admired. ”
Zong Zheng Yangqing was indeed very sincere when he spoke, and it is true that most of the girls in the border pass are straightforward, not to mention that this Zong Zheng family can be regarded as half of Yidi's blood.
In the past, she was also such a straightforward character when she was still in Jindi, and now her caution and restraint have gradually formed after her father died and became accustomed to seeing people's hearts.
Only then did the queen realize her faux pas, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Qing'er, what are you talking to Lord An, so happy!" ”
Zong Zheng Yangqing hurriedly walked to the queen's side and gently slapped the queen's shoulder, "Qing'er just praised Lord An for being a talented woman, but Lord An didn't believe it. Sister, tell me, does Qing'er really praise Lord An. ”
Zong Zheng Yangqing is not the daughter of the real queen in the end, so when calling the queen's adoptive mother, you can't use the title of queen mother, you can only use the title of "sister" or "嬢嬢". This is also a palace forbidden, there are different rules inside and outside.
The queen patted Zong Zheng Yangqing's shoulder, "Naturally, it's sincere." The queen looked at An Sui, "The name of Lord An's talented woman, who in the harem doesn't know, this palace is still thinking about what kind of talent should be matched with such a character as Lord An!" If you marry an ordinary person, you really wronged Lord An, and even the emperor said before that if you are not worthy of this handsome man in the world, you will really be buried. I want the palace to say that if I marry Lord An, the palace and the emperor are reluctant, but I think it would be good if I could stay in the palace for a lifetime. ”
Stay in the palace for the rest of your life?
An Sui replied, "If you can be a female official in the palace for a lifetime, it is also the blessing of Weichen, the former Li Siyi is not like this, it is also the glory of the Li family to be able to assist the two dynasties." ”
The queen didn't accept the invitation when she saw An Sui, but she was not angry, but instead ordered Se Yu to serve tea to An Sui, "This palace is looking for Lord An today, and there is also something I want to discuss with Lord An." In ten days, it will be the day of the autumn hunt, and Shanglin Yuan is ready, but I don't know what close ministers and people the emperor plans to bring with him? ”
"The emperor didn't elaborate, it's always been similar to the people he brought in previous years! It's just that this year, Concubine Xian and the Queen Mother are not feeling well, and they can't go, and the Queen Mother is pregnant, and you can't play if you go. ”
The corners of the queen's mouth gradually raised, this An Sui, at a glance, saw through the thoughts of the palace, it was really powerful, fortunately, such a person was not an enemy, otherwise he couldn't stay, but he couldn't become a friend, which was also a troublesome thing.
The queen nodded, "It's natural. This palace thinks so, this palace goes, and it can't be played, this arrow is naturally for the most noble person in the palace to go, and it is Zheng Guifei, but this palace adds Yangqing to the list of attendants, there are many things that it is inconvenient for the palace to come forward, so let Yangqing do a favor, what does Lord An think? ”
This makes it clear, it is really the queen, An Sui nodded, "The queen is in charge of the harem immediately, and the lord of Nan'an is also here to take care of Niangniang, Niangniang arranged it herself, and Weichen doesn't understand the affairs of the harem." ”
The queen probed An Sui's tone clearly, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few words of greeting, she ordered the guests to be sent off.
It's just that Se Yu doesn't understand the queen's intentions, "Niangniang, this Lord An is really becoming more and more arrogant, Niangniang, she doesn't accept such kindness as you, this entry into the palace is a concubine, and Niangniang is covered by you, she really doesn't know what to do." ”
The queen glanced at Se Yu, "These words are also something you can discuss?" ”
The queen's tone did not fluctuate, but it was with a stern reproach. Se Yu and Se Yun are the personal maids that the queen brought out from Zongzheng's house, but Se Yu is not as smart as Se Yun, if it weren't for Se Yun still serving hard labor in the Huanyi Division, she wouldn't want to use Se Yu to serve by her side.
"She has always been like this, she doesn't make friends with any concubines in the harem, nor does she have bad friends with anyone, and she also has this capital. It's also a shame that she didn't receive our love, and if she did, it would be a big trouble. "The incident of the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix Diagram has made many people in the harem see Ji Xuanyuan's attention and maintenance to An Sui, and the queen also understands, in fact, Ji Xuanyuan is also very clear about An Sui's thoughts. From the beginning of the marriage between Zongzheng and Yan, she should have understood.
The queen took Zong Zheng Yangqing's hand, "Qing'er, this palace is indeed not a good place for you, if it is not for the way, my aunt will not pull you in, but fortunately, you also like it." Auntie can't do much for you, and in the end, it depends on whether your own ability can keep what you want to keep. ”
Zong Zhengyangqing nodded, "Auntie, Qing'er understands." ”
As soon as An Sui made the bed in the tent, Zhang Yan came in with a plate of lamb legs from outside the tent, "Your Excellency is still cleaning up?" It's bustling outside. ”
An Sui looked up, "Oh? What's going on? ”
"Outside are all drill soldiers rehearsing the "Da Chu Drill Song"! Don't adults go to see it? Zhang Yan smiled and brought the leg of mutton to An Sui's face, "Oh, this is just done, adults try it?" ”
An took a piece to eat, the mutton melted in the mouth, it was indeed very fresh, "It must be a newborn lamb leg!" ”
"My lord is really amazing, so you can taste it? This is the imperial kitchen for the emperor, and the emperor gave me a piece for me to send over to the adults to taste! Zhang Yan also took a piece to eat, "Sure enough, it's not the same as what you eat in the palace on weekdays." ”
The drums and shouts on the school field came from afar into the tent, and An Suiqi said, "I haven't seen such drills in previous years, but this year seems to be particularly lively!" ”
"Yes! I heard that the emperor intends to promote some military generals this year, so he ordered this year's hunt to let many young children of the family also come, and many young generals in Beijing are also there. Zhang Yan smiled, "Ah Luo didn't come this year, if she knew that this year's hunt was so interesting, she would definitely regret it." ”
An Sui replied, "That's also impossible, if you're sick, then you can come back next year." ”
Zhang Yan said with a little doubt, "Speaking of which, Ah Luo's illness is really not the right time, since she last saw her family, her body has not been happy. I wondered in my heart, is it because her family is making her uncomfortable? ”
As soon as Zhang Yan said this, An Suicai felt it, and thought about it, "It's hard to say, maybe it's just a coincidence, who can say for sure whether this sick thing is today or tomorrow." ”
"That's right, I think I'm too careful. My lord, let's go to the school and have a look! Zheng Guifei is also practicing archery! Tomorrow's secondary arrow was shot by Zheng Guifei, and the county lord of Nan'an was also there. Zhang Yan looked at An Sui with wide eyes, his eyes full of pleading.
Zhang Yan was full of interest, and An Sui didn't want to sweep her interest, thinking about the way over today, the large army was also tired, and they were all resting, and the emperor also ordered that there was no need to wait.
"It's okay, I've been here a few times, but I haven't seen the drill! In the past, when I was in Jindi, I could often see it, but I don't know if there is any difference between the palace and Jindi. ”
Zhang Yan heard An Sui agree, and stretched out his hand to hold An Sui, "Thank you, my lord, let's go!" ”
The school field was really lively, and after the practice, they sat together in groups to rest, An Sui and Zhang Yan walked, but a few soldiers saw it from a distance, and when they saw that the clothes they were wearing should not be concubines, they whistled at the two, "Hey, girl! ”
But a young general behind him stretched out his hand to their heads and beckoned, "Don't die!" That's the female official next to the emperor, you can afford to provoke you! ”
There was laughter behind him, and Zhang Yan's face turned red, "These people are really rude!" ”
"They don't mean to offend you, don't take it to heart, it's because Lord Zhang looks like this that they want to be able to kiss Fangze!"
Zhang Yan turned around and saw Zong Zheng Yangqing standing beside him, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Weichen has seen the county lord." ”
Zong Zheng Yangqing stretched out his hand to help her up, "Do you also come to the school to practice archery?" ”
Zhang Yan saw Zong Zheng Yangqing carrying a bow and a barrel of arrows behind him, and couldn't help asking, "Does the county lord know how to shoot arrows?" ”
Zong Zheng Yangqing took off the bow, "Yes, this palace has been trained since childhood, do you want to learn, this palace can teach you, although I don't shoot well myself, but you should still be more than enough to teach." An Daren is also with you, I heard that An Daren was born in Jindi, I don't know if you can also shoot arrows? ”
An Sui nodded, "Yes, but after entering the palace, there is no chance to practice, and now I am afraid that there is no difference between it and those who can't." ”
"It's okay, we're just having fun together!"
