Chapter 19: The "Characteristic" Crown Princess
If Concubine Xian Niangniang throws out the topic of whether she looks like Zhu Di's biological mother, Concubine Shuo, I am afraid that the heartache that the emperor has just healed will be triggered again, and it will not only be Fu Hui and Yao Qinghua who will be implicated at that time?
This time, although he boldly broke Zhu Di's heart disease with poison, after all, Zhu Di, the legendary emperor, has too many secret injuries in his life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If anything stimulated his sensitive and fragile mind, I was afraid that he would go completely crazy, and at that time, Yao Qinghua would no longer have the confidence to come up with any good treatment.
So now Zhu Di, looking high-spirited, is actually just a poor long-term psychopath who is in a slow recovery period.
Fortunately, although this virtuous concubine was carried away by love, she subconsciously remembered to protect Yao Qinghua and Furui, which was also touching.
As soon as the black July of Empress Xu's death passed, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's mood became better day by day, and he loved Quan Yan'er even more.
As soon as he saw Concubine Xian's delicate or disgusted little face, in the last second, Zhu Di, the "domineering president" who was still bold and resolute in the previous dynasty, immediately became gentle and affectionate when he got out of the court.
Whenever he finished his busy government affairs, dragged his tired body and walked into Qingluan Palace, the beautiful sound of the flute was like a warm spring breeze, blowing Zhu Di's fatigue without a trace.
The emperor's mood was getting better day by day.
On August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shanggong sent a message to all departments of the Inner Palace, and the prince and princess will return to the palace to spend the festival with their father Zhu Di.
The prince was able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Zhu Di, which can be regarded as one of Yao Qinghua's psychological treatment achievements for Zhu Di, she secretly rejoiced: It seems that Zhu Di, who is in happiness, chose to spend it with the prince who is still in the grounding on the day of reunion in the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it should not be far from lifting the prince's grounding.
Since Concubine Xian made a joke about marrying Zhu Zhanji that day, I don't know why, Yao Qinghua felt that the crown prince and princess he met today were already his "quasi-father-in-law and mother-in-law", so he paid special attention to their whereabouts.
On the day of the audience, the crown prince wore an auspicious dress decorated with a laurel tree complement, and the crown princess's auspicious dress was embroidered with a jade rabbit complement.
Yao Qinghua noticed that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi had no characteristics except for being fat; The crown princess Zhang Cuiyun is very individual.
Because she removed this auspicious dress, there was no ornament on the hairpin rings and sideburns, and the whole person was thin and simple like a peasant woman.
What's more unique is that her holiday gift to the emperor turned out to be fruits and vegetables grown in the garden of an oxcart.
Such a gift that could not be taken on the table made Zhu Di smile all over his face, and he couldn't help but say: "The prince has a virtuous woman so far, I am also relieved." ”
Seeing the melons and fruits, Yao Qinghua couldn't help but think of what Concubine Xian told her that Zhu Zhanji would personally pick back the melons and fruits to taste for the imperial grandfather when they were ripe.
Now is the fruitful golden autumn, and it is such a festival day, the strange thing is that she did not see the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji, she was anxious and sad.
But I didn't have a chance to ask.
She listened carefully at the back of the hall, and did not let go of every conversation between Zhu Di and the prince and his wife.
It wasn't until they parted that she heard the crown princess say to Zhu Di very casually and respectfully: "Some of these fruits and vegetables brought back to my father were planted by Zhan'er herself. Zhan'er opened up a large manor at my mother's house. Whenever he carried farm tools to work in the fields, the people around him said that Zhan'er was a good crop. Zhan'er originally said that he would come back to taste melons with the emperor's grandfather during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the day before yesterday suddenly brought a message, saying that the watermelon harvest in my grandmother's manor this year was very good, and the watermelons were all sweet and big. ”
Yao Qinghua listened to the princess who was dressed normally and spoke very plainly, she was scheming everywhere, she knew that the emperor valued agriculture, so she let her son go to Mrs. Peng Chengbo to go deep into farming, and also painted the fruits of labor to the emperor, which not only showed a piece of filial piety, but also showed her son's talent, which was really a lot of work.
It seems that she also knows that although the emperor doesn't want to see her husband, he loves his son for ten minutes, so if she wants to attract the emperor's attention, she can only rely on the emperor's grandson to work harder.
With the help of such a shrewd crown princess, the fat prince Zhu Gaochi may not be worried about not being able to walk on the throne. It's just that Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor, has become a pawn of his parents at a young age, I don't know if this is a blessing or misfortune for his future life?
In any case, Yao Qinghua is looking forward to the day when the crown princess's biological mother, Zhu Zhanji's grandmother, and Mrs. Peng Chengbo come to the Ming Palace to meet him.
The weather is getting colder, and on the fourth day of October, the palace ministers change their silk ......
In November, all the officials and their relatives warmed their ears. During the winter solstice festival, the palace dependents and ministers all wore yangsheng complements and python clothes. Draw more sheep in the room......
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the long-awaited Mrs. Peng Chengbo, Zhu Zhanji's grandmother, finally came.
This Mrs. Peng Chengbo is dressed in a big product, dressed as a second-class wife, wearing a flower crown, with 8 flowers and hairpins on it, and the clothes are really red large-sleeved shirts, dark blue Xia curtains, and the Yunxia Zhai pattern is embroidered on the silk gown.
The reason why Mrs. Peng Chengbo is so ceremoniously dressed up is because she was originally just a three-grade wife, two years ago the crown princess's father Zhang Qi died, and Zhu Di posthumously named her in-laws "Peng Chengbo", and she only went from a third-grade "lady" to a second-grade "lady".
This is the first time she has entered the palace after the expiration of her husband's mourning clothes, I wonder what kind of gifts she will bring to her emperor's family?
First of all, Mrs. Peng Chengbo presented the emperor with a series of "melon rats" recently painted by her grandson Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Di looked at it and was full of praise, "Zhan'er's skill in meticulous drawing is really home, even the meridians on the watermelon, the beard of the vole that gnaws the watermelon are painted vividly, the watermelon and the vole complement each other, and the pastoral interest jumps on the paper." Which painter trained Zhan'er so finely with a pen in a short period of time, come, appreciate! ”
"Your Majesty, I have already brought Zhan'er's master to you, you had better reward her personally." I saw Mrs. Peng Chengbo's face full of strange smiles, and a little girl about 10 years old walked up to the hall from outside the hall with a little timidity but very polite and courteous under the signal of Mrs. Peng Chengbo.
The little girl wore a narrow sleeved gown of blue silk (similar to the long waistcoat that we wear today), a new skirt of light pink, and a low bun. A silk flower is tied to each bun.
The plainness of the little girl in front of her is in stark contrast to the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Peng Chengbo.
