Chapter 52: The New Year's Banquet (2)
"The queen mother was angry, it was a shallow wrong time, and she didn't dare to use the name of the prince. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The atmosphere in the main hall was low to a critical point.
Xia Ru fell to the ground and clenched his hands.
I don't know if the Queen Mother will let herself go?
It's really unlucky for the New Year!
"Since you know your mistake, then kneel!"
"The Queen Mother." The empress glanced at Xia Ruqian and pleaded: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, tomorrow is the New Year, this is a good day, why should the queen be angry with the ninth princess, don't be angry!" When the emperor and the prince come, it won't look good. ”
"What does the queen mean is to let her break the rules of the palace?"
"Ah, that's not what the concubine means, what the concubine means..."
"Queen Mother~" Before the queen's words were finished, Concubine Ning suddenly knelt on the ground: "The queen mother will spare the ninth princess, the concubine heard that she lost her memory, and she was probably very worried." ”
Xia Ruqian didn't know who this Concubine Ning was, and when she saw someone coming out to speak for herself, she immediately smiled at her with gratitude.
Concubine Ning returned a stable smile and said: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother must not be angry, the concubine heard that to start well and finish well, the end of the year and the beginning of the year are very important, you must be happy!" The Queen Mother is kind, just bypass her! ”
"Look at your mouth, it's as sweet as your sister! The heart is just as kind-hearted. The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows, as if she remembered Ning Qing, and immediately sighed: "It's a pity that your sister is not blessed, you still plead for Xia Ruqian!" ”
Xia Ruqian glanced at the Queen Mother strangely, and then went to look at Concubine Ning.
When Concubine Ning heard this, she took out a handkerchief and touched her tears: "Sister her, sister she is blessed, and she can't complain about the ninth princess." ”
Well?
Something to do with me?
Who is this concubine? Who is her sister?
Xia Ruqian wondered very much in her heart, and kept handing the color to the queen.
The queen was also very anxious, but the two had no tacit understanding, and their eyes passed in the air several times, but they couldn't guess what each other meant, so they just waited for a stupid gesture.
"It's just that Ying'er feels very uncomfortable, I'm afraid I'll never see my sister again!"
"Hey, quick, come to the mourning family!" The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, and Concubine Ning immediately stepped forward to hold it, and cried for a while.
"By the way, Queen Mother, the Ninth Princess has been kneeling for a long time, let's get her up quickly, in winter, the ground is very cold, don't suffer from the dampness anymore."
"Hahahaha!"
The group turned their heads to look at the door.
The emperor followed the Nine Princes and walked in.
"Concubine Ai is right, the ground is very cold, Queen Mother, don't embarrass the princess." The emperor waved his hand to signal that the concubines did not have to salute, and took Concubine Ning's hand again, and said with a smile.
The Nine Princes greeted him and stretched out his hand to pull Xia Ruqian.
Xia Ruqian raised her eyes uneasily and glanced at the Queen Mother.
The queen nodded expressionlessly.
Xia Ruqian dared to put his hand into the hands of the Nine Princes and stood up with his strength. But because I knelt for a long time, my knees were numb. Xia Ruqian stumbled and threw himself into the arms of the Nine Princes.
"Hmph, what, is the princess going to tell the prince about mourning the family?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, very uncut.
"I don't dare to be shallow, it's just that I didn't notice it for a while, and my legs softened."
"Queen Mother, what did you offend the Queen Mother, why is the Queen Mother so angry?" The Nine Princes asked.
"Hmph, what the hell is the Ninth Princess, why don't you even understand some rules?! How long has it been? The queen's concubines have arrived, and the nine princesses have a big score, so we will all wait for her. ”
The Nine Princes frowned and took a step forward to speak, but Xia Ruqian immediately tugged at his sleeve. The ninth prince turned around and smiled comfortingly, patted her hand, the amnesia was fine, and then said to the queen mother: "It's also to blame the son, it's the son's son who is greedy and misses the hour, and please don't blame the queen mother." ”
"You snooze? The mourning family is your mother, and the mourning family doesn't know you yet?! Hmph, for the sake of a woman, I'm here to coax the mourning family! ”
"Queen Mother, what Erchen said is true!"
"Oh? How did the mourning family hear that you usually sleep in your Qingxinzhai, and the mourning family remembers that the princess's bedroom is not there! ”
Xia Ruqian fought a cold war. It was as if she saw other people's eyeliner all around her, staring at her, immobilizing herself.
"Oh, I helped the imperial brother deal with the snow disaster a while ago, so I went to bed in Qingxinzhai nearby."
"Queen Mother!" Concubine Ning shouted coquettishly, and said something in the Queen Mother's ear.
The Queen Mother frowned after all: "Okay, today is a good day, and the mourning family won't care about you." The other concubines are scattered, can the emperor and the prince stay here to eat? ”
"It was natural." The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside the door rushed in, holding a group of meals in their hands.
The Ninth Prince stared at Concubine Ning for a while, and squeezed Xia Ruqian's hand worriedly.
A meal of trembling. Xia Ruqian was afraid that the Queen Mother would use something to open the knife on herself, so she only filled a clear porridge and stopped chopsticks.
After finishing the meal easily, the Ninth Prince took Xia Ruqian back to his dormitory, and Xia Ruqian breathed a long sigh of relief.
"There's still a whole day to go, but how can you get through!" Xia Ruqian sat in front of the mirror and stretched her stiff limbs.
"Princess, why does the Queen Mother always embarrass the princess?"
"How do I know?! But do you know the concubine in the main hall who interceded for me? ”
"I don't recognize the bamboo incense."
"It's really strange, the queen keeps looking at me, as if there is something wrong with that concubine."
"Zhuxiang doesn't think there's a problem, does the princess think there's a problem?"
"Well, it's strange that someone intercedes for me, but I think that concubine is very good-hearted, just strange, her sister?"
"Ning Qing. That concubine is Concubine Ning, her name is Ning Ying, and her sister is Ning Qing. ”
Xia Ruqian turned around suddenly, and when he saw the Nine Princes coming in, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.
"The prince is saying that the concubine just now is Ning Qing's sister?"
"Yes, so you have to be careful. Ning Qing will be sent to Jiangnan in a few days, and Ning Ying will definitely hate you to the bone. ”
"But why does she have to intercede for me when she is in the temple today?"
"This king is also very strange. But compared to Ning Qing, Ning Ying's mind is more delicate, and there must be a reason why she does this. You still have to be careful today. ”
Xia Ruqian sighed: "I don't agree with this palace, as long as I come in, something will definitely happen." ”
"Haha." The Ninth Prince was amused by Xia Ruqian's appearance: "However, this king has something to discuss with you." ”
"Lord Wang, please speak."
"Today, the queen mother mentioned it, and there was a rumor that this king would not stay in your splendid pavilion."
Xia Ruqian's face was flushed.
Shouldn't it, the prince wants to sleep with me?!
"As soon as today's events are over, the queen mother will definitely pay more attention, so do you move to Qingxinzhai, or do you go to your splendid pavilion?"
