Chapter 358: Biting Spring
The Empress Dowager walked a few steps on crutches, and then turned back: "Take off the fish, come in and translate the scriptures for the mourning family." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Totoyu helped the old man to walk to the dining hall.
The concubines breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was a big prince, otherwise, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Hua would have torn their faces during the New Year, and others would not have a good time.
Yuan Deyi began to gag, saying that the palace would sing a fifteen-day drama to welcome the New Year, and all the famous singers of Jinliang went to Beijing to perform, each with their own unique skills, and they could feast their eyes.
Everyone talked about some beautiful men.
Empress Dowager Hua smiled disdainfully: With what kind of beautiful man he is, he can still be more beautiful than an adult!
This name made Yuan Deyi wait for a while, and he didn't dare to speak, and he knew in his heart that Yan Fei was the one who went out of her mother's Huawang Mansion back then.
Perhaps, people will get carried away when they are proud, Empress Dowager Hua is in charge of the harem at this time, her brother An Wang Huaguizhong is the head of the ministers, and her younger brother Hua Guiyou commands 300,000 troops, which is one-third of the military strength of Jin Liangguo.
This old woman is not comparable to a young woman like Concubine Rong and Concubine Yin, she is scheming, and she does not show much trace of any preference for anyone, and she does not leak.
The Hakka accosted: Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, the slave maid once saw the prince of Wei in the White Camel City, but he was wearing half a golden mask, which covered his peerless face.
Empress Dowager Hua said: "I'm just afraid that it won't work now, the mourning family remembers that he is also thirty-four this year." ”
Hakka retorted: "No! The Queen Mother, a woman may be old in her thirties, but the man only began to show that kind of temperament when he was established. ”
"Alas! The old man is unharmed, but the mourning family is unrecognizable......"
Empress Dowager Hua sighed and said no more.
After a while, Yu came in and whispered a few words in the ear of the Empress Dowager Hua, and Mrs. Hua's color changed slightly, and then pretended to be nothing.
Cao Zhaoyi asked on the side: Queen Mother, what's wrong?
With the approval of the Empress Dowager Hua, Yu whispered in her ear: "I just got the news that Concubine Rong Niangniang was tortured in the Shang Criminal Division, and she bit her tongue and committed suicide......"
Pander to!
Cao Zhaoyi was so shocked that her hair stood upside down, the phoenix hairpin on her bun trembled, and she covered her mouth with her hand to keep herself from screaming, she looked around, flowers were blooming, warblers and swallows, laughter and joy, how many murderous intentions are hidden here?
Father Cao Bingkun told her to be 120,000 careful in the palace every time he saw her, and she also took it as a deaf ear, thinking that Yin Gui and Concubine Rong were sisters, and they were still fighting to the death, not to mention others? She always scolded Li Guifei in front of her father and went against her everywhere, in fact, which time was not the first time to provoke trouble?
Concubine Rong's matter really sounded a wake-up call for her.
In the dining hall, the Empress Dowager also heard the news that Concubine Rong bit her tongue and committed suicide, and sighed in front of the Buddha: Alas, this Yin Mountain is evil!
Totoyu sat cross-legged beside her, knelt in front of the Buddha with a stick of incense, and recited the mantra of the past life with the scriptures, wishing that the soul of Concubine Rong would return to the Pure Land of Western Bliss.
Ma Gonggong was a little farther away, supporting the lively Kang Xue walking with two hands, and scolded: "You deserve it!" King Shou almost died in her hands! ”
The Empress Dowager said: "Shut up! The deceased is greater, and the dead can no longer be criticized before death. ”
Ma Gonggong promised: Yes, the Queen Mother.
In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, the Empress Dowager Hua picked up Ying Chen as quickly as possible, and she entered the dining hall like a whirlwind, with a fresh and cool air.
Kneel and kowtow to your grandmother.
The Empress Dowager smiled and held her hand, "Have you seen your mother?" ”
"I just saw it in Beikui Hall, she hugged the eldest prince, and Cao Zhaoyi was like a mother and daughter." Ying Chen replied coldly.
Come over and knock down her loneliness: Happy New Year, bring the New Year's red envelope!
Ying Chen was pressed by her, and giggled: Do you want to be embarrassed? As a royal sister-in-law, she actually cares that her sister-in-law wants to press the New Year's money?
It was only then that he remembered this.
Ying Chen whispered in her ear and said: I'm curious, after you left that night, how did the Red Mansion become a crime scene, sealed by the emperor's brother, and then went in through the window to investigate, oh my God! The bed was stained with blood, and a piece of the bedspread had been cut off...... Are you two doing it with your lives?
I don't care about you!
For a moment, Totoyu thought about the madness of the first night, and covered his face with his hands in shame.
Ying Chen said: "A building is occupied by you, it's not too much to ask for a golden mountain!" ”
The heart of the fish is as sweet as honey.
Scolded: "The lion opened his mouth and told you that there is no fart!" ”
"I didn't expect you to be a scoundrel when you became a princess!"
The Empress Dowager didn't listen to what the two of them were talking about, but she looked at Tuo Yu and covered her face all the time, thinking that she was crying, so she smiled and said: "Father-in-law Ma, give them and King Shou a big one, so you don't have to cry and wipe your tears." ”
Because of the way: Yingchen don't leave the palace these days, just stay in the Lianyu Palace, and the big drama will be sung until fifteen!
Ying Chen clapped his hands and applauded.
Since she re-entered the palace, she had to pay New Year's greetings to the concubines in the palace according to etiquette.
Because Concubine Yin's Guerlain Palace was seriously damaged, and she lived in Yuan Deyi's Zhongcui Palace, it was obviously not good, and the two pregnant women could not live together.
It was Empress Dowager Yihua who arranged for her to live in Changxin Palace temporarily, to be with Chu Wanyi, and to take care of each other.
Ying Chen and Totoyu went, and saw that there were already many concubines and female officials in the Changxin Palace who went to greet him, and the Yin nobles put away their usual arrogance, and complained when they saw people.
Everyone else took pity on her for being pregnant, and she was almost burned alive.
It is said that if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, and the mother is only afraid of the fire and prosperity, and there will be good things soon!
On the way back, Ying Chen sighed: The Yin family is about to have a queen again, from the founding of Jin Liang to the present, it would be strange if the daughter of the Yin family did not become a queen.
The court meeting did not end until the afternoon, and the civil and military officials returned to their respective mansions to rest.
The Reed Yuan Palace was temporarily quiet, and the people were tired, and they all looked for a place to take a nap up and down, because there was a big drama at dusk.
The next day, that is, the beginning of spring, the emperor will lead hundreds of officials out of the eastern suburbs to worship the Qingdi and pray for a bumper harvest.
The women of the harem mostly wear gold and silver hairpins of spring swallows and birds.
Houyuan office to make a spring plate for entering, give the noble mansion, Zaichen, giant emerald, red silk, golden rooster and jade swallow, prepare extremely exquisite, called to bite spring.
The common people pay attention to buying a radish to eat, which is called biting spring, because the radish is spicy, and "if the grass root is broken, then everything can be done".
After the beginning of spring, on the third day of the first month, Zun finally had a little free.
I changed my clothes, ordered someone to go to the Lotus Fishing Palace to take off the fish, and went out of the palace to the Lotus Temple to burn incense.
However, this attracted the death advice of Yueshui Lotus and Gao Changshi, but Zun stated that he only went to the Lotus Temple, not to Sanqingguan.
Gao Changshi wanted to stop him again, and said: "Think about it, since I followed him to practice martial arts at the age of six, we have been keeping the New Year together every year, and this year he is alone, how can he stand it?" ”
That kind of New Year's Eve is a mutual affection for people who have no relatives.
Gao Changshi was speechless...... (To be continued)
