126 Qi Guifei (2)
"Mother, don't be angry with me and the Third Emperor Brother, we know it's wrong." The second princess hurriedly wrapped Concubine Xiao's sleeves coquettishly, and Concubine Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "If you can listen to the words of the concubine, the concubine will be very happy." There are only two of you, and everything will be considered for you. Now that the mother concubine has also figured it out, just in front of your third emperor brother, the mother concubine asked you, do you really want to marry Liang Mingda? ”
The sudden question suddenly made the second princess Li Miaoyu slightly stunned, but then lowered her head and murmured: "Mother, didn't you ask knowingly?" The third prince squinted, the second princess liked Liang Mingda, and the third prince had vaguely felt it before. Otherwise, every time Liang Mingda enters the palace, the second princess will appear in front of Liang Mingda, it turns out that Concubine Xiao also knows and thinks a lot, how can parents not understand their children's thoughts, just as Concubine Xiao knows the thoughts of the third prince.
But now that Concubine Xiao is proposing it now, do you want the second princess to marry Liang Mingda? The third prince pricked up his ears seriously, and Concubine Xiao patted the jade hand of the second princess: "With your words, the mother concubine is much more relieved, the mother concubine is ready to wait until the queen mother's birthday, and ask the queen mother to give you a marriage." "If that's the case, of course it's for the best. The second princess raised her head in surprise: "Mother, are you serious?" ”
"Silly boy, when did the mother deceive you." The second princess lowered her head with a smile, and at the same time, Concubine Xiao handed the third prince a meaningful look, and the third princess brother understood. It's just that when Qi Yuxian heard the news, she was a little shocked, and Lianxiang said softly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Qi Yuxian came back to her senses and waved her hand: "Lianxiang, I'm fine, it's okay." ”
How could it be okay, Qi Yuxian's face was a little pale, and Lian Xiang must be worried. Is it that Concubine Qi is a threat to Qi Yuxian, "Girl, otherwise you should not go back to the Dingguo Mansion, wouldn't it be good to live here." Lianxiang didn't want to separate from Qi Yuxian after getting married, although Lianxiang liked Kuisheng in her heart. But comparatively speaking, Qi Yuxian is still important in Lianxiang's heart.
"Lianxiang, I'm really fine, don't worry." The face slowly returned to ruddy, and Lianxiang was much more relieved. Seeing the back of the lotus fragrance disappearing, Qi Yuxian couldn't help but hook her lips, and now it is becoming more and more exciting. couldn't help but make Qi Yuxian look forward to it, I am afraid that the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother will be able to see a good show. It will be staged soon, Qi Yuxian must prepare well, otherwise she may not be able to cope with it at that time.
The county lord of Changping felt that it didn't matter, Concubine Qi was canonized as Concubine Qi, which was not important to the county lord of Changping. The important thing is to prepare a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, the county lord of Changping wants to break his head, and he doesn't know what he can prepare, if he can, he can discuss with Qi Yuxian. Seeing Qi Yuxian that day, the county lord of Changping hadn't remembered it yet, he was really careless, and now the county lord of Changping was in a daze in the dormitory with his hands on his cheeks.
I saw the palace maid coming in in a hurry, "Lord Qiqi Changping, the eldest princess is here." "The eldest princess Li Miaojing, the relationship between the county lord of Changping and the eldest princess is very dull, why does the eldest princess come to her bedroom now. Since he came, the county lord of Changping didn't have to hide from it, and asked the palace maid to invite the eldest princess in. The eldest princess walked in with a smile towards the county lord of Changping: "Sister Changping, can you come in?" ”
"Thank you Princess Celestia for your concern, everything is fine when Changping comes in, Princess Celestia, please take a seat!" Give the palace maid a look, and hurry up to serve tea to the eldest princess, although Concubine Qi is now the concubine of Qi Guifei by the Holy Side, but she has not returned to her bedroom. Still serving the saint in the saint's bedroom, the saint took Qi Guifei's hand: "Come, don't be busy, sit down, I have something to tell you." Concubine Qi hurriedly put down the clothes she had arranged in her hand and looked at the saint seriously.
The saint pulled Qi Guifei to sit down distressedly, "You are now my Qi Guifei, you don't need to take care of these things personally, just let the palace maids do it." Concubine Qi smiled shyly: "Holy Lord, the concubine is not tired, it's just a little thing." "Concubine Qi was so shy and shy when she first entered the palace, she didn't expect to live in the palace for more than ten years, and she could still be the same as she was at the beginning, which is really rare.
"Okay, since the concubine is willing, then listen to the concubine, I am almost in good shape now. Concubine Ai packed up and went back to the dormitory in the afternoon, and in the evening, I went to Concubine Ai's dormitory. "Concubine Qi has been hesitating whether to mention the matter of returning to the dormitory with the saint. After all, staying in the Holy Palace's dormitory all the time doesn't seem to be a solution, and it will cause a lot of trouble to Concubine Qi.
Hearing that the saint took the initiative to mention it, Concubine Qi replied gently: "The concubine obeys the order." The saint poured Qi Guifei into his arms and patted Qi Guifei on the back affectionately: "Aifei, it's good to have you by my side." After sending off the eldest princess, the county lord of Changping breathed a sigh of relief, the eldest princess came just to simply chat about some things about the queen mother's birthday, and there was nothing else, but the county lord of Changping always felt that something was wrong, but the specific county lord of Changping couldn't say, forget it, don't think about it, it's better to think about what kind of birthday gift to prepare for the queen mother.
In the afternoon, after Concubine Qi returned to her bedroom, the saint went to the queen mother's bedroom. The Queen Mother was lying on the couch, and when she heard that the saint was outside the palace, she quickly asked the grandmother to get up and sit up straight. The saint strode in front of the Queen Mother: "See the Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose." "The emperor doesn't need to be polite, your body is just right, hurry up and sit down." The Queen Mother felt very sorry for the Holy Lord, this time, although the Holy Concubine Qi was canonized as Qi Guifei without discussing with the Queen Mother in advance, but the Queen Mother would not be angry with the Holy Lord, and the Holy One was no longer a child.
There are her own considerations for doing things, and the Queen Mother is very relieved. "Thank you, Queen Mother." "The emperor and the mourning family don't need to be so polite, hurry up and sit down." Sheng Shang sat beside the Queen Mother with a smile, "Queen Mother, regarding the canonization of Concubine Qi, please forgive the Queen Mother for not consulting the Queen Mother in advance, it is my fault." The saint took the initiative to mention it and admitted his mistake. The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Emperor, the mourning family is fine, but you should discuss this matter with the queen in advance, the queen is the lord of the six palaces after all." "Since the saint has not discussed it with the queen mother, then the queen will not talk about it.
The mention of the queen from the mouth of the queen mother made the saint realize that he really didn't think of the queen. impulsively canonized Concubine Qi as Concubine Qi, "This matter is not considered by me." "Now that the wood is in the boat, it's useless to say this." Otherwise, the saint went to the queen's bedroom at night to make it clear to the queen, and the mourning family believed that the queen was not a rude person. "There are some words that the Queen Mother has said, and I believe that the Holy One can understand what the Queen Mother means.
"Thank you Queen Mother for your advice." The saint was grateful to the Queen Mother and looked at the Queen Mother a few more times, and the Queen Mother hooked her lips: "Emperor, this is the best." There is more than one concubine in the harem, and the emperor categorically cannot favor Qi Guifei alone. The harem is comparable to the court, and I believe that there is no need to say more about the mourning family, the emperor should understand. There are many things that cannot be done by one's own temperament. "There are some things that the Queen Mother doesn't want to say more, and if she says too much, the Holy Lord will also feel annoyed by the Queen Mother.
It's just that if the Queen Mother doesn't say it and doesn't remind the Holy One, if something goes wrong at that time, the Queen Mother will have to find a way to solve it. Now mention the saint a little, and the saint quickly got up and said: "I know, thank you for the queen mother's concern." "Emperor, and what else should you think about making a prince?" Not wanting to force the Holy Lord, a trace of hesitation flashed in the Holy Lord's eyes, but then nodded seriously: "What the Queen Mother said is that I should be thinking about it, and please rest assured that the Queen Mother." I just don't know who the Queen Mother thinks is suitable? ”
To become the future prince, the saint asked the queen mother. The Queen Mother gently hooked her lips: "The matter of electing the prince is a big matter, and it needs to be considered in the long run, and it is not too late for the saint to investigate and inspect a few princes before making a decision." "From the mouth of the Queen Mother, it is not difficult to know that the Queen Mother does not favor any prince." I understand what the Queen Mother means, I will take it to heart, and please rest assured. ”
"That's very good." The Queen Mother handed the saint a meaningful look, and returned to the saint in the imperial study to correct a lot of twists and turns, but he was really tired. The eunuch beside him said softly: "Shengshang, do you want to turn over the brand?" "The queen has given the eunuch a lot of benefits, and the eunuch is doing his best now, if the saint is unwilling, then there is no way. flipped over the card, and the saint waved his hand: "No need, go directly to Concubine Qi's bedroom." ”
The saint got up directly and was about to leave, but the eunuch was a little hesitant, it wasn't to be scolded by the queen. This little thing can't be done, just when the Queen Mother hesitated, the Holy Lord suddenly thought of what the Queen Mother said. The matter of canonizing Concubine Qi as a concubine, the saint did not say a word to the queen, the lord of the harem, in advance, it is indeed a little inappropriate, forget it, think about it, or go to the queen's bedroom, at least explain it to the queen. Otherwise, the queen should have a pimple in her heart, and she may hate Concubine Qi.
The eunuch smiled, and the saint actually wanted to go to the queen's bedroom, so that he would not be blamed by the queen. You can also get a lot of rewards from the queen, killing two birds with one stone. "Holy Lord, you wait for the minions." The group came to the queen's dormitory, and when they heard that the saint was coming, the queen got up in a hurry, and she didn't even have time to arrange her clothes in a hurry, so she hurried to the outside of the dormitory to greet the saint.
"Concubines see the saint, long live long live long live." The saint affectionately helped the queen to get up: "Queen, don't be polite, hurry up." As he spoke, he took the queen's jade hand and walked into the palace, and the palace maids around him lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it. But they are all happy in their hearts, and now that the saint has come to the queen's bedroom, it means that the saint still has the queen's mother in his heart, so they don't have to be reprimanded by the queen.
Of course, the queen felt very sweet, but she couldn't help but wonder if the saint would have other purposes for coming this time. Once she thought about it, the queen was not so excited. Waiting for the saint for the time being, the saint pulled the queen to sit down, "The queen hasn't finished her meal yet, just let me accompany the queen to eat some, don't be stunned." Come, I remember that the queen loves to eat abalone, come, I will give it to you. Saying that she served the queen enthusiastically, the queen got up in a panic.
"Holy Lord, the concubine comes by herself, and she doesn't dare to bother the Holy One." He tried to take the bowl from the sage's hand, but the squirrel squinted: "Queen, you're welcome to me, come, sit down." As a man naturally likes obedient women, the queen weighed again and again, this dinner, the queen ate tastelessly, although the saint served the queen on the side, but the queen was not down-to-earth in her heart, and there was always a bad premonition.
Sure enough, after dinner, the palace people took the dinner away and left the dormitory one after another. Before leaving, Mama glanced at the queen with a smile, this time the queen can finally come to the bitter end. The saint is also cold enough to the queen these days, the queen is not only the lord of the six palaces, but also the wife of the saint. The saint should be good to the queen, Mama can rest assured now, and even the eldest prince and the fourth prince will be happy.
Thinking of this, Mama couldn't stop the smile on the corner of her mouth and waited outside the dormitory, "Ai Fei, I can't stand you these days, don't be angry with me." Taking the initiative to take the queen's hand to explain, the queen smiled gently: "Shengshang, where are you talking about, being able to marry Shengshang, and giving birth to Shengshang, that is the blessing that the concubine has cultivated for several lifetimes, how can the concubine be angry with the saint." ”
Besides, even if the queen is really angry, she won't say it to her face. Some things are hidden in the heart for a lifetime, no matter how hard and tired they are, it is better than saying them. The woman was forced out, and the saint patted the queen's hand: "Queen, you are so virtuous, and it is also a blessing for me to marry you as a queen." cough cough cough, this time the canonization of Concubine Qi, I did something inappropriate, and I didn't tell the queen in advance. ”
Looking at the queen guiltily, the queen smiled indifferently: "Shengshang, Concubine Qi's sister has been in the palace for many years, and she is kind, and it is too late for the concubine to be happy, so you don't have to take it to heart." "Queen, I am relieved to hear you say this. By the way, the queen, the third and fourth children are not young, it's time to marry a concubine. I wonder if the queen has a suitable candidate now? "Since the queen is not angry, it is best, and the saint does not need to dwell on this matter anymore.
"Qi Qi Sheng, don't the concubines dare to make decisions on their own in this matter, the queen mother's side?" The queen cautiously mentioned the queen mother, and sure enough, the saint's face sank, and indeed the queen mother was also very concerned about the matter of the third prince and the fourth prince marrying concubines. I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to decide, I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks. When I went to the Queen Mother's bedroom today, the Holy Lord didn't think about it, and I must remember to mention it to the Queen Mother next time.
The saint stayed in the queen's bedroom tonight to sleep, and the queen was naturally happy to serve the saint to bathe and change clothes. As for Concubine Qi in the dormitory, she didn't wait for the saint for a long time. Later, I learned from the mouth of the palace maid that the saint went to the queen's bedroom, "Niangniang, don't be angry with the saint, this time the saint can canonize you as a concubine, I'm afraid the queen should be unhappy." Mama was afraid that Concubine Qi would be cranky, so she hurriedly comforted Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi raised her head: "Mama, is it possible that in your heart, this palace is such a small-bellied chicken intestine and an unreasonable person?" "Of course not, Niangniang, in the heart of the slave, Niangniang is the most reasonable." Mama replied quickly, "That's it, Mama, don't worry, this palace knows in his heart, and he won't be angry with the saint." Mama, the hour is not early, and the palace is also lacking. "These days I have been taking care of the saint in the saint's dormitory, and Concubine Qi's body is not iron, of course she is tired.
"Niangniang, then you rest early, and if there is anything, tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid are waiting outside the door." Mama cautiously left Qi Guifei's bedroom, and early the next morning, Qi Guifei had just finished breakfast, and she heard the palace maid's notice that Zhou and Ming were out asking to see her. Zhou and Ming, how did their two sisters-in-law enter the palace. After hesitating for a moment, Concubine Qi asked the palace maids to invite them in.
The Zhou family and the Ming family quickly walked in front of Qi Guifei and said goodbye, "See Qi Guifei, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." "The two sisters-in-law don't need to be polite, please get up." Concubine Qi sat up straight, her gaze resting on Zhou's body. Qi Guifei never thought that Qi Mingde would marry Zhou later, and the matter between Qi Mingde and Chen was clear to Concubine Qi, and later Chen died, and Qi Guifei was sad for a long time.
Even when she was provincial, Concubine Qi didn't mention the matter of Chen and Qi Yuxian to the old lady. For those who have already gone, there is no need to mention it, which only adds to the sadness of the old lady. In fact, there is no big deal for the Zhou family and the Ming family to enter the palace, that is, the old lady asked them to enter the palace and talk to Concubine Qi, and there are many guests in the Dingguo Mansion. are all congratulating Concubine Qi for becoming a concubine, and the birthday of the Queen Mother has arrived, so discuss in advance what gifts the Dingguo Mansion will prepare for the Queen Mother at that time.
Concubine Qi squinted: "Two sisters-in-law, you go back and tell your mother, and your mother will arrange it." "There is really no opinion, the old lady's vision is good, and after a simple greeting, the Ming family and the Zhou family quickly left the palace of Concubine Qi. Their female dependents should not stay in the palace for too long, Qi Yuxian happened to be idle today, so she took Lianxiang out to walk around the street, but as soon as she went out, she thought that Lianxiang was about to marry Kuisheng, and turned around: "Lianxiang, you better go back!" ”
"Girl, don't want slaves, drive slaves away." Lianxiang was so frightened that she knelt in front of Qi Yuxian, Qi Yuxian quickly helped Lianxiang to get up: "What are you doing, I almost forgot, you are all bride-to-be, listen to me, or hurry back to embroider the wedding dress." I'll just take the jade with me, obedient. Hurry back, I'll be back in a minute. Gently comforting Lianxiang, Lianxiang reluctantly raised her head.
Seeing the back of Qi Yuxian and Cuiyu leaving, he reluctantly turned around and went back to the yard. Cuiyu whispered: "Girl, the slave is very reluctant to see you Lianxiang, otherwise you will let Lianxiang stay in the house after marriage." "Why do you have to let Lianxiang follow Kuisheng, Cuiyu is full of doubts. Now is the opportunity to ask, Qi Yuxian can't tell Cuiyu her plans, it's not time yet.
It's just a simple perfunctory jade, and the master and servant are casually strolling around the street. "Girl, what do you think is going on over there?" Qi Yuxian looked in the direction of Cuiyu's finger, a group of people gathered together, Qi Yuxian hesitated. Whether you want to go and see it or not, forget it, or go and see it. Anyway, it's fine, and if you can encounter injustice, you will naturally have to draw a knife to help, and Jade will follow Qi Yuxian in small steps.
Qi Yuxian approached and found that two or three little girls were pulling with a father and daughter, and the onlookers were pointing. Qi Yuxian asked the people around her in a whisper, what is the situation now. The people sighed, "Girl, don't you know, it's really God's sin, he lost money in the casino and used his daughter as a credit." Now that the little guy wants to take his daughter away, he doesn't want to live or die anymore. (To be continued.) )
