Chapter 88: Small Talk
Imperial Palace, Cining Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Queen Mother looked at Dong Linzhi's hanging right hand with pity in her eyes, and said, "Why are you so careless?" What do the guards eat? Not at all! ”
Dong Linzhi pinched a piece of pastry with his left hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I didn't bring a guard at all, so this matter has nothing to do with their dedication." Don't worry, the Imperial Doctor has already taken a look at it for me, it's no big deal, just take care of it. ”
"You, you, you're so willful!" The Queen Mother instructed someone to pour him tea, and said, "How can you not bring guards for such a dangerous thing as hunting?" You fell off your horse this time, what if you encounter something next time? Don't be happy, safety comes first! ”
"Yes, yes, you're right! I'll keep an eye out next time! ”
As soon as the Queen Mother heard it, she knew that he was perfunctory to her, and immediately pretended to make a straight face: "Muddy boy, you are lying to me here again, you say this every time, which time do you do what you say?" ”
When Dong Linzhi heard this, he put down the teacup, snuggled up to the queen mother, and said coquettishly: "How dare I lie to you!" Besides, with your sharp eyes, what can fool your old man's eyes? Even if you lend me three hundred guts, I won't dare to be careful in front of you! ”
He laughed at the handsome face that everyone loved, his mouth was like smeared with honey, and the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, and knocked him helplessly and dotingly: "You know how to coax me as an old woman with good obedience!" ”
"What an old woman! Where do you look old? With your skin and body, let the uninformed person see it and definitely think that you are a favorite concubine in the palace! ”
He said this nondescriptly, and his tone was very sincere, coupled with a serious expression on his face, which amused the Queen Mother, and "ouch" laughed from ear to ear.
For a while, the atmosphere was very good.
The chamberlain came in and said that Concubine Liu Guifei had come to greet the Queen Mother.
"Let her in!" The Queen Mother said, "Her body is just better, it's windy outside, don't get cold!" ”
Dong Linzhi straightened his clothes and returned to his position and sat down.
The beautiful woman in a goose-yellow palace dress was supported by a personal palace maid, Tingting walked in curly, and whispered to the Queen Mother.
Dong Linzhi stood up and said, "Guifei Niangniang Jin'an".
Liu Guifei smiled back.
The Queen Mother pointed to the chair of the Taishi at the bottom, "Give the seat!" ”
Liu Guifei sat down elegantly, raised her head and said with a smile: "The concubine is sick, I haven't been to Cining Palace for some days, and it's rare for the sky to be sunny today, so I specially came to greet you, and I hope you don't care about the concubine's rudeness." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, looking at her very gently: "The mourning family knows, you just have this filial piety, you don't have to be restrained by these false courtesies." ”
Liu Guifei responded softly "yes", then turned her face to look at Dong Linzhi, and said with a worried face: "Linzhi, what's wrong with your hand?" ”
Dong Linzhi was very impatient to explain those trivial things to others, but when the concubine asked, he had to answer, so he had to say concisely: "I accidentally fell off the horse two days ago, and my arm was slightly injured, but it's not a big deal, thank you for your concern!" ”
Concubine Liu Guifei has been in the palace for many years, and she has already learned not to get to the bottom of it, and when she heard the words, she smiled and asked a few words, expressing her concern, so she didn't ask more.
She smiled at the Queen Mother and said: "The concubine just went to Kunning Palace to greet the queen, and learned that the queen went to the Qianqing Palace, saying that the Ministry of Rites had prepared a list of candidates for the second princess, and the emperor specially invited the queen to discuss. The concubines have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and it is not common to see several princes and princesses, and they feel that in the blink of an eye, they are also people who are about to get married! ”
"yes!" The Queen Mother also showed a rather sighing expression, "When the queen talked about this a while ago, I realized that Min Hao is also sixteen this year, and it is time to discuss marriage." He is the first of the siblings, and this family affair is not sloppy! ”
"With you and the emperor, as well as the queen's mother, you will definitely be able to choose a lady with outstanding virtue and appearance for the second prince as a concubine!"
There are ten princes and thirteen princesses in the current emperor, among which the eldest prince and the ninth prince have unfortunately died. The biological mother of the second prince is Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian was from a mediocre background, and her talent is also very ordinary among the palace concubines, and she is not very favored, plus the second prince's own qualifications are average, so he is not valued because he is the eldest son.
Liu Guifei said this just in the scene, and most of the second princess and concubine will not be the real outstanding ladies in the big family.
The Queen Mother obviously knew this, and when she heard this, she just smiled and nodded.
At this time, the chamberlain came in again and said, "The queen mother is here!" ”
The petite queen walked in with a bright smile, and only brought a palace maid who was waiting for her.
Dong Linzhi and Liu Guifei hurriedly got up and saluted.
The queen personally supported Concubine Liu Guifei and said softly: "You are weak, you don't need to be polite." Then he smiled at Dong Linzhi, "You can sit down too, be careful of the injuries on your hands, don't bump into them!" ”
Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled happily and said, "Aren't you at the emperor's place?" What's wrong with it? Everything has been discussed? ”
"Queen Mother!" The queen sat down opposite the queen mother, and said with a smile: "Erchen was originally discussing the marriage of the second prince with the emperor, but halfway through, Shen Guogong came, so I came to sit with you!" ”
"Ning Ce is here? He hasn't been in the palace for a while! ”
"Don't worry, when he comes out of the emperor, he will come to greet you as soon as possible!"
The Queen Mother smiled and asked about the family affairs of the second prince, and the queen showed her the list drawn up by the Ministry of Rites.
The palace maid handed over the tortoiseshell glasses, the queen mother put them on, the queen said to her carefully, and Liu Guifei interjected from time to time.
Ever since he heard that Yu Fengyao was going to come to greet the Queen Mother later, Dong Linzhi was a little restless.
After a while, taking advantage of the gap between them and talking, Dong Linzhi saw the opportunity to retire.
The Queen Mother was surprised: "Didn't you say that you would leave the palace after dinner?" It's still early! ”
The queen said, "Are you bored?" Why don't you go and play with Changning? She was riding a horse with the Seven Princes in the racecourse. ”
"No, no, no!" Dong Linzhi hurriedly shook his head, "I suddenly remembered to make an appointment with them for tea, the time is almost up!" ”
"That's it......" The Queen Mother was a little disappointed.
The queen secretly glanced at Dong Linzhi's envoy and said, "You haven't been in the palace for a long time, so let's have dinner before leaving!" Send someone to talk to Lin Gongzi and them, and ask them for tea another day! ”
Dong Linzhi had no choice but to say: "Then I'll let the fence run away." You just said that the six princesses are in the racetrack? Then I'll go play with them for a while! ”
"Go, go, go!" The Queen Mother was happy again, "When the time comes, ask Changning and them to come to my palace for dinner!" ”
Dong Linzhi said "yes" and ran away.
As soon as I got out of Cining Palace, I heard the voice of a little eunuch whispering, "The slave greets the grandfather of the country!" ”
