Chapter 34: Enlightenment
After two lives, Changle is no longer an innocent wooden person, she can already feel those turbulent surges from the seemingly calm harem, and she can slowly appreciate the hardships after being a palace.
In fact, it is very difficult to be the queen of the Great Seal Harem, from the Tai/Zu to the current Emperor Fuyuan, it is more difficult than the other. Although this is the most glorious position for women in the world, it must not be the happiest life.
After Queen Zhuang dealt with the palace affairs and the trivial matters of the concubines, she heard that the newly baked Princess Jiaoyang came to greet her, pinched the Qingming acupoint, and cheered up her spirit and ordered the grandmother beside her to bring people in.
Mama persuaded her to rest for a while, she shook her head helplessly, fortunately, it doesn't take any effort to deal with this girl, just follow the normal routine, it shouldn't take long, wait for things to be dealt with, she is resting for a while, afternoon...... And the troubles.
For the former Changle County Lord and the current Princess Jiaoyang, Queen Zhuang has no bias or affection, just when she is an ordinary junior, she is docile and well-behaved, and has never made trouble for her, and of course, has never helped her anything.
The eldest princess Xiao Hua asked Emperor Fuyuan for the title of princess for the lord of Changle County in the court, and Queen Zhuang didn't think too much, she really had nothing to do with her, the affairs of the harem had already made her a little anxious, she didn't have time to care if there was one more named princess in the royal family who didn't like to find trouble, and seeing that although the eldest princess Xiao Hua had acted domineering for so many years, she was quite considerate to her, and she was happy to do it.
When Changle came in, what he saw was Queen Zhuang's tired look that could not be concealed, sitting on the soft couch in the warm pavilion in the main hall.
With a clear idea in her heart, Changle looked at Queen Zhuang again and it was different from before, she had never looked at Queen Zhuang so carefully as she did now.
In terms of appearance, Queen Zhuang is by no means superior among the various beauties competing in the harem, and she is not even more gorgeous than Concubine Shu, but Queen Zhuang is indeed as dignified and elegant as her mother Princess Xiao Hua said, and she has a big deal.
When Changle saw her at this time, she had completely lost the affection she had when she heard her angrily scolding the concubine outside the hall, she smiled kindly, and when she saw Changle coming over, she beckoned to her, "Come and sit here aunt!" "I don't even need her to do it.
She can't help it, this is not the time for her to show her coquettish plans, today is the first time she has seen Queen Zhuang after she became a princess, the queen is the mother of a country, it stands to reason, the general blessing is not allowed, she is going to make a big gift.
"Changle see the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Her new title is Princess Jiaoyang, but she calls herself Changle, first, she has been used for a long time, and second, Changle is her name, and the original title of the county lord was based on her name. It is even closer to those who are close to you, calling yourself by name.
Just like her mother, others call her mother the eldest princess Xiao Hua, but at the end of her previous life, before her mother was about to die, she had heard someone call her mother 'Qihua', and at that time, she knew that her mother's maiden name was 'Qihua'.
"This kid is always so polite and polite, quick, quickly help him up," Changle felt that after she finished the salute, Queen Zhuang's enthusiasm rose to another level, and it was comfortable to deal with people who understood.
Mama helped her weakly, Changle got up, and she didn't need to greet Queen Zhuang, she sat on Queen Zhuang's couch by herself, and between the two, there was only a tea table carved with rich peonies.
Looking at the refreshments on the tea table, Changle smiled and said, "Auntie's things here are all good, I have eaten a lot in the side hall just now, and now I still feel like I want to eat it." "A little daughter's posture is delicate.
Is Queen Zhuang an ordinary woman, who has been tempered in the harem for many years, and was born in a high gate and deep courtyard, a pair of eyes have been cultivated early, when Changle came in, she felt that Changle was very different this time than before, what was the difference, she couldn't say it for a while, smart and lively? I'm afraid it's more than that.
"If you like to eat, eat more, your age is the time to be willing to eat, not as good as this palace, at this age, you can't feel the taste of anything you eat now."
Queen Zhuang's words are quite old-fashioned, when Changle asked for peace in the past, Changle just smiled when he heard it, but this time Changle said: "What age do you say aunt, you are very young, it is only after staying in this palace for a long time that you feel that you have an age, according to Changle, you are less than twenty years old." If someone else said this, it would be rude and disrespectful to the queen, but if Changle, who was in the position of a junior, pouted his cherry red mouth and sprinkled coquettishly, he didn't feel anything, but it was more intimate.
Changle was naïve, when his eyes looked at Queen Zhuang, there was no impurity, pure water dripping out, and Queen Zhuang smiled, "You, this girl ......" is indeed a little enlightened.
Subsequently, Changle told Queen Zhuang some lively things outside the palace, which made Queen Zhuang laugh a few times. A woman like Queen Zhuang, who has lived in the deep palace for many years, likes to listen to the sparse little things of the people outside.
Changle saw that the atmosphere was just right, so he pretended to be casual and slowly spoke: "When I was tasting the refreshments in my uncle's palace in the side hall, I heard Manager Liu mention that the eldest prince is sick again?" ”
"That old slave is a lot of mouth," Queen Zhuang seemed to be displeased, Changle understood in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with Manager Liu, I asked, passing by the door of the main hall, I heard my aunt's voice with anger, I was afraid that my aunt would be ignorant and angry, so I couldn't help but ask." Changle obediently told Queen Zhuang all the past and future affairs, and in the face of this kind of Dajia, appropriate honesty is a must.
"Hey, don't say it in this palace, you also know," Queen Zhuang had a lot of bitterness in her heart, and she was worried that there was no temple to fall. God opened her eyes, and she still saw that Changle had some signs of enlightenment, how could she not take advantage of it.
Although Changle is not the 'Bodhisattva' she misses the most, it would be the best if she could pass through Changle's mouth and transfer to Princess Xiao Hua.
"These days, the eldest prince's health has not been good, as soon as the spring equinox passes, it becomes more and more strict, the saint and the palace are very worried, the saint even sent the Tai Hospital Zhang Yuanzheng and the most taken away Yu Taiyi to treat children's phlegm and cough to stay in Jinqi Palace, the palace also ordered Ying Concubine several times, let her be very careful, don't wait until the eldest prince has anything bad to announce the imperial doctor, it is necessary to pay attention at all times, who knows how she ......"
Before Empress Zhuang finished speaking, she heard a slightly shrill shout outside the hall, "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”
