Chapter 312: On Fire
The queen is safe and secure here, and for now, everything needs to be stable.
Hongchen came out of the palace and met Princess An, Princess An looked a lot haggard, and a little palace maid on the road accidentally rushed over from behind and bumped into her, which scared several grandmothers in An's mansion with white faces.
The little palace maid was also so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Princess An was so angry that she half-protected her stomach, and asked people to help her up with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it didn't hurt me, but don't run, don't worry about any urgent things in the palace, you can't run around, you bump into other masters, you have to be hit by the board." ”
The little palace maid lowered her head and whispered in agreement, her voice timid.
Seeing that she was so scared, Princess An shook her head with a smile, and walked slowly over with the arm of the palace maid beside her.
Su Niang sighed: "Before Princess An got married, she had a good temperament, gentle and kind, but marrying King An has a bad reputation." ”
Hongchen knew that this was talking about the little prince of Wang An's family, and many people said that it was Princess An who deliberately raised the little prince like that.
This legend actually makes a lot of sense.
At least Hongchen knew in her previous life that Princess An would never be able to have a clear conscience in this regard, and later she herself was so harmed by the scourge that she said in front of people that she really regretted raising a disloyal and unfilial thing.
But today, Princess An also has a little pity for a little palace maid, she must not be a bad person, where are there so many bad people in the world.
Hongchen's heart moved, and after thinking about it, he greeted him politely, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the princess's body will become more and more bulky, I heard that the Anwang Mansion has been lively recently, so the princess might as well move to live in the garden, the scenery is good, and the body is good." ”
Princess An was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
Hongchen didn't say anything more, and was personally sent out of the palace by Su Niang.
Su Niang knew Hongchen's ability, and she also saw that there was something wrong with King An's side, so she made up her mind to go back and coax the queen to play something else, don't feast this and that all day long, if you attract something that shouldn't be recruited, they will be in trouble.
Fortunately, the queen is not like before now.
In the past, when the queen mother was young, she was curious about everything, and the more you didn't want her to do it, the more she wanted to try it...... It's also a bear child.
I don't know where the Queen Mother saw that she had a calm temperament and was worthy of being a queen.
Now it's different, now Niangniang has long been accustomed to thinking twice, and she is also used to being cautious and careful about her curiosity, not letting any danger rashly appear around her.
Hongchen came out of the palace, thinking about the queen's recent complexion, and suddenly turned back to Luo Niang and said, "You take out the brocade at the bottom of our box, and next time you enter the palace, send it to Niangniang." ”
Luo Niang is also a pleasure.
The brocade has no other benefits, that is, it is very bright and dazzling, and they really like it, but unfortunately they can only look at it.
If their own young lady made clothes out of that satin, it would be called a waste, and they would either be unable to suppress it, or it would be too gorgeous and luxurious, and they would pierce people's eyes when they wore it, and their young lady didn't need to be too high-profile now.
"If you wear it, it's really good."
A few girls joked a few words about the mother, and they were in a very good mood, Hongchen felt that she could send this satin to the palace, or that the queen was in a good mood recently, and her face was radiant, so that she seemed to be a teenager younger, which was very different from the appearance of being sick a while ago.
In Luo Niang's hearts, the queen treats her master sincerely, the mother is good, and their master lives more freely, naturally looking forward to the queen living younger and younger, and a serious long life.
Coming out of the palace, Hongchen also moved a box of good ink in the queen's small treasury, all of which were newly entered by the inner mansion.
Hongchen's county lord's mansion actually has it, but of course it can't compare to the delicate and beautiful queen here, and these are taken to Sister Yao to ensure that they like it.
When Hongchen returned to Lu's house with great interest, and showed off the ink, Qiao's saw at a glance that the flowers were carefully carved, or the calligraphy of famous artists was painted, and the ink was incredibly exquisite, and he was simply shocked.
"How can this thing be played with by Sister Yao and them, where did Sister Qiu get it, put it away quickly, don't give it to the children."
Qiao's is okay, the old lady and a few old men are really scared.
Especially the eldest master, he happened to greet the old lady, and he was dumbfounded when he saw the things on the table set by Hongchen.
"This is a set of incense ink made by Fu'an Jushi, just look at this word, in Jiangnan a set of three thousand taels of silver, stunned is priceless, I used to go to see Mr., he seems to have a piece of old man, very cherished."
Don't look at the eldest master, it is also from the most prestigious academy in Jiangnan, and the gentleman in his mouth is a great Confucian in the world, not an ordinary person.
Hongchen blinked, vaguely felt that it was not good, she was on the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, I really don't know what it means to save, sometimes I like it, try a few pieces of ink from the inner house, pick a good one, and throw the rest away, so I will take it to the palace people to play.
At this time, I found out that the things in the palace are still very interesting when placed outside.
Hongchen smiled and casually threw the pot to the little marquis to carry it.
"Master, why should my wife care too much, since it is ink, I still take it to a few brothers and sisters, it would be a pity not to use it."
Qiao's was speechless, and in the end, one person divided a few pieces, but I am afraid that I will not use it, and it will be pressed to the bottom of the box.
This thing, Qiao wants to use it as Sister Yao's dowry.
If Sister Yao marries into a scholarly family, if there are a few pieces of such ink, she will definitely be looked down upon in her husband's family.
The eyes of the eldest lord were as bright as lanterns, and he looked at Hongchen's gaze as if he was looking at some big treasure.
The old lady looked sideways.
When Qiao's husband and wife mentioned it, they naturally knew that there were some messy things in his mind, and maybe he still thought that Hongchen could marry into Ninghou Mansion, which would be excellent.
The marriage between the little marquis and the Yun family was decided many years ago, and it was a shame that he could think nonsense.
The eldest lord really thought about it, he still thought about it a lot, and a little bit of it was for Hongchen's consideration, he thought that his eldest daughter, with outstanding talent and good temperament, looked so stunning, fell into ordinary people's homes, it was not only wronged, but also maybe it would cause trouble, and she should enter the palace to enjoy happiness.
Originally, he didn't dare to think about this, and he didn't have a relationship, he wanted to send his daughter to seek wealth, but he couldn't find it, but his daughter was very angry, and no one needed to ask for a good marriage, so he fell to their house.
The more the old man thought about it, the happier he became, and when he talked to his old lady and wife, he became more and more pleasant, and when he talked to Hongchen, it was even softer.
As soon as he went out, Qiao Shi pulled down his face, and patiently comforted Hongchen: "Don't worry, I understand the master's temperament, he thinks of being the best in the world, what to do is not good, it can't be bad." ”
Hongchen smiled, this is really enough to bury the old man, but looking at the old lady's face, she obviously agrees.
Don't say anything else, let's just say that over there in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiang Wang Chen Feng conspired against him, and the old man swayed, and he had the intention of coming and going to make a comeback from the dragon, but he still easily asked his wife to pack and take it away, just a fantasy, and there was no way to achieve it.
After getting along for such a long time, Hongchen also felt that the sons of the Lu family were ...... They all look a little crooked, and they don't have much responsibility.
Among them, the eldest master is not the worst, he is greedy and lustful, and his brain is not clear, but he can be easily pinched by the old lady, in the Lu family, that is a benefit, if you add any toughness, dare to do it with your mother, it is estimated that either he is angry with his mother, or he was killed by his mother early as his son.
Speaking of the eldest master, it was boring, and even Qiao's was impatient to talk about him, and the old lady asked her granddaughters how they were reading, and let the children go out to play.
Qiao's also went back to the house, it was not easy for her to socialize these days, she was not a person who loved to socialize, but she had to rack her brains to socialize everywhere and take Sister Yao to meet people.
If she doesn't work hard, who knows that the Lu family still has Sister Yao in the boudoir.
Sometimes, Hongchen will inevitably be caught, but in the end, it is less, which shows that Qiao's is also a little uncertain about Hongchen's marriage.
Luo Niang and the others sighed in private, Qiao's is so dedicated, even if there are no eight points, there are five points that really treat the young lady as a daughter, and the county lord still thinks of an idea, it is good to hide it as soon as it is hidden, otherwise, it is really a little inappropriate.
The young lady is not afraid of any identity being exposed, and the Lu family has not suffered, but if she knows the truth, she may be scared into a cold sweat, and if something goes wrong, it will go against the original intention of the young lady.
Today, it is rare to have leisure, Hongchen got new ink again, so he simply sat by the window, wrote and drew a few strokes.
She also hasn't practiced calligraphy well for a long time.
Luo Niang and Xiao Yan also sat on the side and painted.
Hongchen finished painting a piece of Merlin, turned his head to look at what Luo Niang had painted, and smiled: "How many times have you said it, it's still this problem, don't paint too full, you must know how to leave blank." ”
Luo Niang smiled.
She doesn't know much about this, and I don't know if she used to be poor, and now she can't turn around, and she wants to fill the painting with a pen, so she is willing to stop, because of this, I don't know how many times I have been told by the young lady and gentlemen, and if I don't pay attention, I will do it again.
was painting, someone came from the county lord's mansion, Luo Niang went out to take a look, and the county lord's mansion came from a little eunuch, named Zhao Shurong.
Hongchen doesn't use eunuchs much in the mansion, but since the inner mansion is matched, whether she wants it, these little eunuchs can't get a good place if they are beaten back, at least the masters of other palaces, don't want to return from other places, she will stay, and they each have errands to do, although they still don't like to ask them to serve closely.
Zhao Shurong is a more useful one, because he looks good, is young, and lively, and has a close relationship with Luo Niang, he is very taken care of on weekdays.
"County Lord, Lord Cat is here."
Hongchen was stunned.
This is talking about kittens.
The kitten is also thriving now, and he has not been a little guy for Hongchen, the little guy who is the second little guy in the shop, he is now an errand boy at the prince's place, and he is considered a cronie.
"You go back, let him rest in the teahouse, and I'll go over."
Hongchen frowned.
The kitten was very busy, and when she came over in person at this time, there must be something, she gave Luo Niang a look, and went to report to Qiao's over there, then packed up her things and went out to a teahouse.
This teahouse is considered a Shengmen industry, and it is not listed in the county lord's mansion, but in the name of a foreigner. Because the tea is good, the storyteller invited is also first-class, the business is very good, and occasionally I meet a few people who have pink eye, and I don't need to come forward with Hongchen, and someone will clean it up.
Entering the private room, the kitten kowtowed when she saw Hongchen, pounced on her thighs, and cried whining.
"Alright."
Hongchen couldn't cry or laugh, "How old are you, you still pretend to be crazy and learn from other people's foxes." ”
The kitten rolled his eyes secretly, he couldn't learn, the little fox was gentle and shy, he was an honest child, and he learned a small kung fu in the life door, and the average woman practiced, but he didn't expect that the more he learned, the more ruthless he became, and he didn't need to get blood on his hands, and he didn't need them to stain it, but he couldn't let the enemy survive and die.
"What's the matter, tell me."
Hongchen sat down and let the people below serve tea.
The kitten chattered for a long time and said in a low voice: "The prince is a little wrong." ”
When he said this, he obviously hesitated, but he still calmed down and said what he wanted to say clearly.
The kitten has followed the prince during this time, very close to the prince, closer than the personal eunuch, in recent times, the prince is always very irritable, in front of the emperor, Xu is endured, did not show it, but once he returned to the East Palace, he was so dry.
"In the past few days, the prince has beaten and scolded several eunuchs, and he can't sleep well at night, because the little eunuch walks around outside, so he gets up and scolds, which makes people panic."
The kitten's eyebrows were a little worried, "I always feel bitter, I say that I am on fire, I poured a belly of fire tea, and I always shout hot, and I am only willing to eat cold, and I secretly invited the doctor, and the doctor said that the prince is very good and not sick, but this, this is wrong!" ”
Hongchen also frowned.
The prince's temperament, they all know that they will never spill their anger on their subordinates, besides, it is a critical juncture now, before the ceremony, we must beware of accidents, the prince should be more cautious in his words and deeds, how can he be so irritable?
Hongchen squinted, and when he thought about it, he remembered the strange things that had happened in King An's Mansion recently, as well as the strange aura.
Although the two sides seemed to be unrelated, she still felt that it was a little strange.
"Don't worry, I'll go to the palace tomorrow, you go back and tell the prince, let him go and say hello to the queen, and I'll see him too."
The kitten breathed a sigh of relief.
He never dreamed that he would sell himself to the current people, thinking that the best result would be to marry a wife and have children in the future, and give his son a slave status, so that his children and grandchildren could change the court, but he didn't expect to meet a master like Hongchen, and he was fortunate to follow the prince, from then on, he set a goal, that is to fly Huang Tengda, to be a high-ranking official, this kid is very clear-minded, knowing that the prince can't make any mistakes now, and now that his own master is there, he can also put his mind at ease.
