48. Covenant
In the Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager Yinci was chatting happily with Mrs. Zhongyuan. Although the two have different identities and different generations, they have long been friends because www.biquge.info of their similar interests and hobbies. Empress Dowager Yinci also loves Yun Qingran's straightforward and honest temperament very much, and treats him as her own grandson, so the relationship is naturally not ordinary.
Seeing this situation, several bureaucratic wives and ladies who entered the palace together were very conscious not to disturb, and after some greetings, they began to sit in a place where they usually knew each other and chatted quietly.
The cold breeze outside, and the cigarettes in the indoor heater add to the happy atmosphere.
At this moment, there was an inner attendant outside the door who hurriedly entered, walked to the side of the Empress Dowager Yinci, lowered his eyebrows and whispered, and then heard the Empress Dowager Yinci laugh out loud. Everyone looked up together, and saw that the face of the Queen Mother, who had always been strict and dignified, had a few scorching brilliances, and her eyes unconsciously showed some curiosity and surprise.
But no matter how curious they were, they couldn't be arbitrarily presumptuous in the Yongshou Palace, so they had to look away from Mrs. Zhongyuan on the side, hoping that she would ask questions.
Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis took a sip of tea unhurriedly, thinking that the person who can make the Empress Dowager Yinci so happy now, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace, belongs to her son Yun Qingran. The prince is in poor health and has lived in the East Palace for a long time, so he does not appear often, and maybe he will be absent from this palace banquet. From this point of view, it is nothing more than what her son has done and spread it to the Yongshou Palace.
Thinking of this, she paused slightly in her tea drinking action, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Qing Ran has been domineering since he was a child, and he is as unscrupulous in the palace as he is at home, and he likes to make his own decisions...... Oh, I hope nothing goes wrong!
Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis was silent on the surface, but she was anxious for a group of young ladies who were watching the play, and several pairs of eyes kept scanning the waiter, as if she could see a flower on his face.
Here, the Empress Dowager Yinci smiled to herself for a while, and then quickly restrained her appearance. It's just that the bottom of his eyes is still overflowing with joy. She curled her fingers, covered her lips with a handkerchief and cleared her throat, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis, and said with a smile: "Ah Lu, do you guess what this little father-in-law just said to the mourning family?" ”
Empress Dowager Yinci asked like this, it can be seen that what she was thinking about just now is not far from ten. Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou slowly put down the teacup, and also smiled, her face was mixed with a little helplessness and arrogance, "It's Qingran's kid again, right?" ”
"It's really a knowing son, Mo Ruomu!" Empress Dowager Yinci was happy, nodded and said, "That's that kid!" Do you know where he is now? ”
"Where?" Mrs. Zhongyuan raised her eyebrows.
Now at this hour, he should meet the emperor with Yun Yi in the side hall of Yi Palace. But listen to the words of the Empress Dowager Yinci, isn't it? Where did that stinky boy run around again, why didn't Yun Yi control him?
When the Empress Dowager Yinci saw that she was in a heavy state of thought, her expression was slightly condensed, and she knew that she was probably thinking about it, and hurriedly said: "He, he has gone to the Qingxin Palace!" ”
Pure Heart Temple? Isn't that a place to chant Buddhist teachings? What did he run there for no reason?
Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis was stunned for a moment, full of disbelief.
Everyone in the audience also had a look of swallowing a fly, and their faces were different.
It turned out that the person who made the Queen Mother laugh was Shangying, the famous demon king of the mixed world, the second son of Yun of the Marquis of Zhongyuan's mansion. But it's not surprising when you think about it, the Queen Mother loves this young man to the heart, which is something that the whole world knows. It's just that I don't know what earth-shattering things that the second son of Yun has done that can reach the ears of the Empress Dowager Yinci of Yongshou Palace.
Everyone's impression of Yun Er Gongzi is nothing more than derogatory words such as "纨绔", "rotten wood", "Bahu", etc., at this time, at first glance, I heard that the flamboyant little ancestor actually ran to the Qingxin Hall of Yongshou Palace to recite scriptures and worship the Buddha, how could there be a reason not to be surprised?
Mrs. Zhongyuan's eyes rolled, as if she had some guess, and suddenly she lost her surprised look and fell silent. Of course she knows her son, the more abnormal the behavior, the more Xiao Jiujiu he fights in his heart! But I just don't know what he wants to do?
The Empress Dowager Yinci waved her hand and ordered: "Okay, the mourning family has seen his heart to the Buddha, you go to the Qingxin Hall and call him over!" ”
When the waiter heard this, he only said in his heart that the second prince of Yun was powerful, and he even guessed what the queen mother was going to do next, so he said to Yun Qingran what he said to him earlier: "The second prince of Yun said that he has a stomachache and can't walk, so he just wants to worship the Buddha quietly and go to bad luck." ”
"Stomach ache?" Empress Dowager Yinci's voice instantly rose a little higher, and she frowned and glared at him, "I know that Second Prince Yun is not feeling well, why don't you invite the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?" ”
The chamberlain was stared at by the Empress Dowager Yinci in a cold sweat, but he couldn't say that Yun Er Gongzi was actually pretending to be sick, and he himself could run and jump the fact that his body was great, so he had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"The slave should be damned, it was the second son of Yun who said not to call the imperial doctor...... The minions can't help it......"
Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis stared at the trembling chamberlain who was kneeling on the ground, sighed, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother also knows Qingran's temperament, since he has said so, it should be no big deal." After the words fell, he added, "Hmph, that little rabbit cub will not treat himself badly. Let him toss on his own! It is also a good thing to be able to adopt the mind and nourish the mind in front of the Buddha! ”
"Look at you, Qingran is still a child, isn't it normal to be a little stubborn?" The Empress Dowager Yinci shook her head, and suddenly thought of the children and grandchildren under her knees, although they were all dragons and phoenixes among people, but because they grew up in the royal family, they lost such sincerity. When getting along with others, I am always accustomed to separating a layer of tillcloth in my heart, guarding against each other, and calculating inch by inch. In contrast, Yun Qingran's straightforward and uninhibited personality is really good!
"The Queen Mother is just too used to him! Eh, who doesn't know about Daqin now? There is such a Yun Ershao in the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, he can't say it, he can't afford to provoke it. I'm afraid that he is only afraid of his temperament, and it will be easy to be used by people with intentions in the future. His father and I can't stay with him for the rest of my life, and Shaohuang doesn't return home all year round......" As she spoke, Mrs. Zhongyuan's voice gradually lowered, and her expression was mixed with obvious sentimentality.
Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager Yinci said: "If you want to say that you have a stubborn heart, Ah Lu, you were no worse than that kid Qingran when you were young!" ”
Mrs. Zhongyuan raised her head when she heard this.
The ladies sitting in the hall also had a few insiders, and when they heard this, they all laughed knowingly.
Indeed, if it is unruly, the current Yun Er Gongzi can be regarded as carved out of the same mold as his mother!
When Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis married from Tianshui Qin to Shangying, she was still a young girl, because she was the daughter of the family, she was much loved, and she was a little arrogant. Unlike other ladies, the Tianshui Qin clan is heavy on martial arts and not on literature. Qin Lu has been true from his father since he was a child, and the power of a sword can split gold and stone. At that time, Zhongyuan Hou Yunyi looked like he was just a weak-crowned young man, although he had some kung fu to defend himself, but he couldn't compare to Qin Lu in the end.
In this way, one thinks that the other party is delicate and weak, and it is not enough to protect her for a lifetime; One thinks that the other party is arrogant and arrogant, and he is not willing to be angry with each other. This is where the contradiction unfolds.
Since the two got married, they have often made trouble, the six animals are uneasy, and the neighbors are miserable. Later, the problem grew bigger and higher, and it rose to the point of reconciliation, and the emperor came forward to mediate. Later, the two slowly developed a relationship, and the past was revealed.
It's just that when it comes to this past, everyone is still a little ridiculous.
Who would know that the two who were incompatible at the beginning are now so affectionate?
Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou remembered the past coldly, her face was slightly hot, and she took a sip of the cup in disguise.
"That kid is here, if the mourning family doesn't go, he has another way to toss. Since he said he didn't want to come, then the mourning family was. The Empress Dowager Yinci got up as she spoke.
When Mrs. Zhongyuan heard this, she also wanted to stand up.
"Ah Lu, you can entertain the ladies here on behalf of the mourning family. The mourning family will come when it goes. The Empress Dowager Yinci stopped at the right time, bent her eyes and smiled softly at her.
Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou made a move, and a strong sense of helplessness arose in her heart.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother is too accustomed to Qingran! Even if he knew that the kid had ulterior motives for coming this time, he had to secretly add fuel to the fire and deliberately split her.
The waiter got the permission, got up from the ground with a grunt, and walked in front to lead the way for the queen mother.
Fang Cai's situation is really scary, fortunately, Yun Er Gongzi doesn't come to the palace often, otherwise...... The waiter shook his head secretly with a drop of bean-sized cold sweat on his forehead, not daring to think about it anymore.
The incense burner of the Yunlong bronze ancestral hall rose up with white smoke, as if the long clouds were in the sky, and the dark fragrance was like wisps. Rising or floating, rolling or shu, stumbling around the young man's careless jade white fingers, stained with a few traces of indifferent elegance of taking refuge in Buddhism.
In the huge Qingxin Palace, only the figure lying on the purple wood carved chaise longue is particularly eye-catching.
The inch-thick tabby soft carpet is slightly concave, and the deep shadow is cast on the tassels of gold-painted wisps of twisted beads, swaying a bit of strange rainbow.
Yun Qingran is rare to have patience today, supporting Yi with one hand and lighting a fan with the other, looking scribbled without a dispute with the world. But almost all the sons who are good friends with him know that Yun Qingran still has a habit that is not good, that is, his acute son. When he goes out to play on weekdays, most of the time others are waiting for him, but it is more difficult to ask him to wait for someone than to ascend to the sky.
Therefore, after the Empress Dowager Yinci entered the hall with the inner attendant, she saw such a peaceful expression like a young man who was out of the world, and her delicately painted eyebrows unconsciously raised slightly.
The chamberlain also secretly glanced at Yun Qingran, and suddenly chuckled in his heart, and wailed: My little ancestor, since you want to pretend to be sick, please pretend to be dedicated, okay! The Queen Mother, the slave was forced to tell you a lie, you must be aware of it! Amitabha......
Yun Qingran, who closed his eyes and was pretending to sleep, seemed to hear the prayer in the heart of the waiter, and the seductive fox eyes were lifted, and the light of the room was burned in an instant. He rubbed his waist lazily, sat up from the couch slowly, and looked at the Empress Dowager Yinci with a smile, "Say hello to the Empress Dowager." ”
The Empress Dowager Yinci slowly paced over with the hand of the waiter, and under the light of the young man's smiling eyes, she reached out and twisted his ear.
"Hey, it hurts, Grandma Huang!" Yun Qingran wailed, desperately squeezing out two touches of moisture from the corners of her eyes, and begged for mercy pitifully.
"Stinky boy, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd, can the imperial grandmother still know?" Empress Dowager Yinci sneered and hooked her lips, and then glanced at the stunned chamberlain.
The waiter who was still in a trance suddenly stiffened, and then rolled out with a crawling belt.
Yun Qingran screamed while grinning: "Yes, yes, Xiao Ranzi can't escape the eyes of the imperial grandmother in whatever she does, so Xiao Ranzi has no intention of hiding it from the imperial grandmother at all!" ”
When the Empress Dowager Yinci heard this, her face paled slightly, and the strength in her hand was slightly relaxed, "Are you really a fool when you are your mother?" ”
Yun Qingran smiled "hehe": "Of course not, isn't it all inherited from my father and mother that I am so smart?" The main reason is that I know that Grandma Huang will definitely help me, so I have to make a decision. ”
Empress Dowager Yinci snorted: "Strategy? Why do you think you have a clear mind? Isn't it because the emperor wants to marry you in such a hurry to find a mourner? She said, glanced at her ears that had been twisted red by herself, subconsciously withdrew her hand, and said, "You are stubborn and unruly, Ah Lu and Yun Yi both hope that you can start a family as soon as possible, and the mourning family also thinks it is so good, but what are you not satisfied with?" Could it be that you have a sweetheart? That's even easier to do, and tell the royal grandmother which girl it is, and the imperial grandmother will make the decision for you. ”
Yun Qingran finally freed her ears, and then she hid away from the smoke and said, "Grandma Huang, don't you think it's too early to talk about marriage at my age?" When the words fell, he added with bright eyes, "The prince's brother is twenty-five years old, don't you have a couple yet!" Even my eldest brother didn't get married! Why is it my turn first? ”
Speaking of the crown prince, the Empress Dowager Yinci was silent for a moment, and after sitting down on the couch, she sighed: "That child is also a pity." has the art of the emperor, but he has no choice but to be like that. After the Empress Dowager Yinci sighed, her words paused, and her sharp eyes swept towards Yun Qingran, "Stinky boy, don't talk about him left and right!" Grandma Huang asks you, do you really want to be married? ”
Yun Qingran raised her eyes and looked at the serious face of the Empress Dowager Yinci: "I don't want to!" ”
Empress Dowager Yinci sighed lightly: "Since this is the case, then you have to listen to the words of the imperial grandmother!" ”
"Haha, I knew that Grandma Huang had a way!" Yun Qingran smiled, with a sense of victory that the conspiracy had succeeded.
The Empress Dowager Yinci stared at his high-spirited face, and she was even more helpless in her heart. It seems that this time, she is going against Ah Lu again!
