Chapter 19: Reasons (3)
It was the day after Fenglin's attack, and it was customary to enter the palace to thank him, because Mu Qingwan's edict came down with Fenglin's will, so Mu Qingwan also had to enter the palace to thank the queen. Wei Yuan Hou is a super product, Mu Qingwan is naturally also a super product, and now His Majesty has not yet played the request for the seal of Mu Qingwan's order, whether this is His Majesty's appeasement of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion or from the side to tell the world the importance of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, it makes Mu Qingwan panic.
The two got off at the palace gate, one of them was going to Qianqing Palace, and the other was going to Kunning Palace, and they didn't go the same way, but they made an appointment to wait at the palace gate.
The cold wind of the harsh winter whistled past the ears of the two of them, and Mu Qingwan couldn't help but shiver in the heavy court clothes. Seeing this, Feng Lin carefully caged the collar and sleeves for her, even in the cold winter, his warm palm still made Mu Qingwan's heart gush with warmth.
When Mu Qingwan was smiling, he turned his head and saw the red-clothed girl looking at them from a foot away, the girl's scarlet clothes were like fire, and her eyes were as cold as knives.
That was the first time Mu Qingwan had seen Zhao Youjun, but before that, she had heard a lot about the deeds of the most noble princess of Qingping in the Great Wu Dynasty.
Zhao Tiannan, the founding emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty, was only born in poverty before his career, so the Zhao family was not as populous as those big families. The Zhao family is scarce, Zhao Tiannan's father died when Zhao Tiannan was young, in addition to the old mother, Zhao Tiannan has only one sister, that is, the later eldest princess Zhao Youjun.
Zhao Youjun was born at the beginning of the troubled times, and the Zhao family at that time was just a poor family at the lowest level of society, so Zhao Youjun did not live the life of a princess with fine clothes and food as ordinary people imagined when he was young, but suffered a lot. It wasn't until Zhao Tiannan gradually showed his edge in the troubled times that the life of the Zhao family slowly improved.
Growing up in such an environment, even if Zhao Tiannan named Zhao Youjun as the only eldest princess in the dynasty after the establishment of the Dawu Dynasty, some things in Zhao Youjun's bones have long been ingrained, even with the honor of the eldest princess, it has not changed, and there are rumors about the eldest princess among the nobles in the capital.
I heard that when the eldest princess likes to wear red clothes, she doesn't like others to wear clothes of the same color as her, so in order to avoid secrecy, no one dares to wear red clothes in public.
I heard that the eldest princess is as fierce as fire, and she can whip her in advance at any time, and if anyone is unlucky enough to touch her moldy head, she will definitely usher in a whip that covers her face.
I heard that although the eldest princess is the princess, her words and deeds are vulgar, and her virtue and deeds are not even comparable to the daughters of ordinary official eunuchs.
I heard that the habit that the eldest princess developed in the past was her favorite food was a nest made of coarse grains! What is Wowotou, most of the noble ladies have never even seen it!
……
Among all kinds of rumors, the eldest princess Zhao Youjun undoubtedly behaved roughly, without the slightest princess demeanor, and completely relied on Her Majesty to win the world and go to great luck to have the respect of today's princess.
In fact, the rumors are not far off, although they are not true.
However, Mu Qingwan didn't think much about it at that time, although the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was also considered a high-ranking family in the capital, the difference between her status and the eldest princess was too big, one was Mrs. Weiyuan Hou who was born in a small family, and the other was one of the most noble women in the dynasty, she thought that she and this noble eldest princess would not have any more intersections in the future.
But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that she would have such an entanglement with the eldest princess in the future?
It was the first time Mu Qingwan entered the palace, although it was to thank the queen mother, but the first thing to go to was the Cining Palace where the queen mother lived.
Cining Palace in the former dynasty has always been the residence of the Queen Mother, and it is more than solemn because of the lack of luxury. But when today's son is reckless, but also advocate filial piety to rule the world, after the emperor entered the palace, the first thing His Majesty did was to renovate the Cining Palace, and now the Cining Palace is the most magnificent palace in the entire palace.
Mu Qingwan entered the palace for the first time, and he wanted to meet the nobles, he was cautious in his words and deeds, and was introduced into Cining Palace in silence all the way, and he didn't dare to breathe, and he knelt on the ground with his head down: "The courtiers knock on the Queen Mother." ”
As far as the eye can see, there is a skirt embroidered with gold dragon and phoenix patterns.
Mu Qingwan's humble kneeling did not exchange for the queen mother's courtesy, until her knees were faintly numb, and she heard a young voice say: "Queen Mother, this is Mrs. Weiyuanhou?" ”
Mu Qingwan didn't dare to raise her head, but listened to the Queen Mother say kindly: "Qingping, the queen mother wants to talk about you well, run out of the palace early in the morning, if you let the imperial history know, I'm afraid I will reprimand you again." ”
Zhao Youjun, the eldest princess of Qingping, stood beside the queen mother, she glanced contemptuously at Mu Qingwan, who was kneeling on the ground, and pulled the queen mother's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Isn't this a queen mother, if the imperial brother scolds the son, the son will have to hide from the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother's appearance is not as kind as her voice, even after a few years of pampered life as the Queen Mother, the suffering in the first half of her life has left a mark on her.
Although the food and clothing in recent years are unimaginable to ordinary people, the queen mother's shriveled face and thin figure have still not been able to be plumped. She was thin and thin, and even though her bright yellow clothes were tailor-made, she still only made people feel too fat. Her cheeks were unusually thin, and her cheekbones on both sides were high and bulging, because they were too thin, it also made the luxurious crown of six dragons and three phoenixes on her head look extremely heavy and huge.
Stripped away those clothes that symbolize status, I am afraid that anyone who sees her will think that this is a mean and unkind old woman.
Of course, as the queen mother, no one dares to say and think so.
No one had ever mentioned this in front of the Queen Mother, so she didn't know that the kind voice she had deliberately practiced did not match her appearance, and the combination would only make people feel out of harmony.
The queen mother obviously enjoyed the coquettishness of the eldest princess of Qingping, she smiled, a few nasolabial folds extending from her mouth made her look more unapproachable, stretched out her thin hand and patted the hand of the eldest princess of Qingping comfortingly, "The queen mother is such a daughter like you, who will you protect if you don't protect you, but you can't make your imperial brother angry in the future, you are not young anymore, and the queen mother still wants to ask your imperial brother to choose a good horse for you." ”
Hearing the queen mother mention the selection of the concubine, the eldest princess of Qingping glanced at Mu Qingwan, who was still kneeling, and didn't care whether she could see it or not, sneered, and said: "Queen mother, the son already has a candidate for the horse, and the queen mother has to talk about it for the son in front of the royal brother, but the son is not the one who does not marry." ”
The Queen Mother was just habitually muttering a few words, but she didn't think that the eldest princess of Qingping would give such an earth-shattering answer, and she was both happy and anxious in her heart, and hurriedly asked: "Which son do you fancy to?" ”
