Chapter 90
Liu Sisi, who was walking beside the Empress Dowager Liu, was the most alert, and when she saw Zhou Xiao, she knelt down and said, "The courtier Liu Sisi sees the emperor!" ”
Zhou Xiaoyi frowned, didn't look at her, and said, "Flat." Then, salute the Empress Dowager Liu. Watching a group of people salute, An Qingchen's reaction was half a beat slower. The people here are all from the cultivated rules of etiquette, deep into the bone marrow, but she An Qingchen is a newcomer, only a few years in this other world, and her understanding of the word "etiquette" is not thorough enough. Zhou Xiao saw An Qingchen, who was still in a state of confusion, and immediately glanced at the nurse, and Mama Lu immediately stepped forward with interest, took Xu'er in An Qingchen's hand, and whispered in Qingchen's ear: "Sister, salute!" ”
When Qingchen heard this, he thought for a while before he realized, and knelt down as he did and said, "The courtiers see the queen mother!" Empress Dowager Liu ignored An Qingchen, crossed Qingchen who was kneeling on the ground, slowly walked to Zhou Xiao's side, took Mo Xu from the nurse's hand by herself, and said to Zhou Xiao with a smile: "Xu'er is finally out of danger, and the emperor should rest assured." ”
Zhou Xiao just replied coldly: "Thank you for your concern, I only hope that those hairy people will not touch Xu'er again in the future." Over, he glanced at An Qingchen, who was still kneeling on the bluestone slab, and his face became more and more ugly. And Liu Sisi, who was standing on the side, turned pale. If Mo Xu can't wake up this time, Zhou Xiao may really let her be buried with her. The more she thought about it, the more atmosphere she felt, Mo Xu was as important as Mount Tai in the emperor's heart, and it was not because of An Qingchen.
Empress Dowager Liu didn't seem to see Zhou Xiao's anger, and continued to gossip with him: "Is the emperor busy in the country recently?" If you are free, come to sit in the palace of the concubine, and the new concubines in your harem come to the palace every day to say goodbye. ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my mother, these days, my son-in-law has to accompany the newly canonized queen, I'm afraid I don't have time to go to the palace of my mother to say goodbye." , motioned to the nurse to take Xu'er back, ignoring the Empress Dowager Liu in front of her, stepped forward and personally pulled up An Qingchen, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Erchen still wants to visit the garden with Chen'er, so I will retire first!" ”
was so angry that Empress Dowager Liu's face turned pale, he insisted on going his own way, and canonized the dead girl as the queen so quickly! If this unreasonable, bold and arrogant girl enters the palace, will she, the queen mother, still be the queen mother? Her emperor still spoiled her so much, and after kneeling for a while, she felt very distressed. Empress Dowager Liu watched Zhou Xiao and An Qingchen slowly walk away, until they entered the Xingyue Residence, although her face was silent, her heart was already churning with anger.
Liu Sisi glanced at Empress Dowager Liu's face, stepped forward and said, "Auntie, don't be angry, when she enters the palace, she will know whose world this harem is." ”
As soon as he entered the palace gate of Xingyue Residence, Zhou Xiao immediately squatted down, wanting to pick up An Qingchen's Luo skirt, Qingchen was startled, and immediately dodged away, saying, "What are you doing?" So many people are watching! ”
Zhou Xiao glared, a group of entourages, plus the two nurses all lowered their eyes, expressionless, only Mo Xu was still waiting for a pair of big eyes, innocently looking at the two people in front of him. Zhou Xiao asked: "Does it hurt, is it hurt, do you want to call the imperial doctor?" ”
Qingchen pulled out the corner of the skirt in his hand and said: "The courtier is a person who practices martial arts, and she can still endure this hardship, not to mention, if she enters the palace in the future, this kind of thing is always inevitable......
Zhou Xiao's face pulled and said, "With me here, who dares to embarrass you?" ”
Qingchen pursed his face and said secretly: In this palace, there is only one person who dares to embarrass her, and that is Zhou Xiao's wife! But Qingchen will never say this: "The queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, and it is also appropriate to kneel." ”
Who knew that Zhou Xiao said casually: "I will make an order, and in the future, when you enter the palace, you will be exempted from all bowing rituals." ”
Qingchen was shocked in her heart, she was going to be a prelude to Daji: "The emperor doesn't have to be like this, since he is in the palace, the etiquette still can't be abolished." The emperor favors the queen today and exempts the queen from kneeling, and if he favors the concubine tomorrow and exempts the concubine from kneeling, then this harem will not be chaotic! ”
"In my harem, there will only be a queen, and there will be no concubine!"
Divert the topic again. "The courtiers are just giving an example, but they just feel that the palace etiquette cannot be abolished, and every qiē should be in accordance with the rules of the palace, and should not be arbitrary."
Zhou Xiao pondered for a moment, and said, "Chen'er's words are reasonable, and I am taught." Then, take her hand and continue the garden. It was very embarrassing to make Qingchen's face red.
Seeing this scene, Mo Xu'er clapped her hands and smiled: "Auntie, aunt." Qingchen felt even more uncomfortable, stepped forward and pinched Xu'er's face, pretending to be angry, and said, "Xu'er is a villain!" ”
The first year of the year was fighting along the way, and the unpleasantness just now was quickly swept away. After visiting the Xingyue Residence, it was almost noon, and Zhou Xiao ordered: "Today's lunch will be placed in the Xingyue Residence." ”
Qingchen was playing with Xu'er, and when he heard this, he said, "I'm going back, and I won't use lunch with you." ”
"I have sent someone to report to the General's Mansion, you can go back to dinner at dusk today......"
"Your Majesty, the courtiers just entered the palace to thank them, and besides, the courtiers still have things to deal with later."
When Zhou Xiao heard this, he felt a little lost, walked up to her, picked up a wisp of green silk from her, and said, "Okay, the future will be long!" He was just scared, the last time she snuggled in his arms, he also felt that the coming days were long, but who knows......
"I'll send Anzi to send you out of the palace." Qingchen kissed Xu'er again and said with a smile: "Baby Xu'er, my aunt will come to see you in a few days." ”
Xu Er just pulled the corner of her skirt, feeling a little reluctant.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Xingyue Residence, Qingchen suddenly remembered that there was another purpose for this trip, and immediately turned back to the hall and said, "The courtiers have one more thing." ”
Zhou Xiao stood up and said, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”
Qingchen took out a fine silk that had already been prepared from his sleeve, unfolded it, handed it to Zhou Xiao, and said, "Please sign the emperor's imperial pen." ”
"What is this?" Qingchen picked up the silk cloth, the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and when he saw the end, his brows relaxed, and the scoundrel said: "I don't sign!" ”
How can he be a scoundrel again!
"Yesterday, the emperor personally agreed, how could he ......" Is it just to deceive her into accepting this post-holy decree? The ancient political zhì family was too shameless!
Zhou Xiao looked at Qingchen's face and said with a smile: "If you want to sign, you can, I have one condition." ”
Obviously, it was good yesterday, and now he has to add conditions, and if he knew that this was the case, this agreement should have been signed by him yesterday. Now...... Qingchen asked helplessly, "What conditions?" ”
"On the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, enter the palace to grind ink for me."
This nasty Zhou Xiao! Qingchen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the courtier agrees." "As for whether to come, hmph, he can go back on his word, can't she?
Zhou Xiao glanced at the rows of delicate handwriting on the fine silk for the second time, which was obviously her own handwriting: Zhou Xiao agreed to marry An Qingchen three years later. During this period, An Qingchen's personal freedom was not restricted, and An Qingchen's behavior was not interfered with. After getting married, An Qingchen was allowed to return to Anfu to live for seven days a month. She figured out that she had just awe-inspiring to abide by the rules of the palace.
Zhou Xiao ordered someone to bring pen and ink, waved a big pen, and signed.
Qingchen took this piece of white silk, dried the ink, and then folded it with great care, put it in the cuffs, and then left satisfied. This silk cloth has the authentic works of the Great Zhou Emperor and the future empress, and it will definitely be worth a lot in the future!
An Qingchen returned to Anfu with this priceless silk cloth, and Tao just came out of the door. Sister is going to take a look at the workshop and the Spiegel Pavilion today, and she has been ready for it in the morning. Who knows, as soon as I returned to the house, I listened to my sister go into the palace, it is estimated that I will not be able to come back for a while, someone in the palace has passed the emperor's message, and my sister will return to the house at dusk today, and she wants to go back to the Spiegel Pavilion. As soon as she arrived at the door, she ran into a soft sedan chair from the palace, and the person in the sedan chair was her sister.
Qingchen saw the peach and said, "Don't go, peach, when we finish lunch, let's go out to have a look." The account books will be placed in the mirror pavilion, and you will be saved from the effort of moving back and forth. ”
"Okay, it's all up to my sister." Since my sister came back, she has a backbone, and she has more strength to work.
In the afternoon, the sun was warm, Qingchen and Tao first went to the two workshops, and then to the Spiegel Pavilion. Qingchen is still dressed in men's clothing. The shopkeeper in the store had not seen the owner for a long time, and he was quite excited to see Qingchen, enthusiastically serving tea and pouring water, and introducing the recent business of Spiegel Pavilion with a smile. Qingchen also paid a little attention to it, and found that the people who entered and exited the Spiegel Pavilion were all dignitaries or their family members, and asked curiously: "Crystal cup, the mirror is a boudoir thing, why are the men in the store coming and going so frequently recently." ”
Hearing this, Tao said with a smile: "Childe doesn't know, recently Kyoto gifts have been popular to give us the crystal cup of the Spiegel Pavilion, as for the mirror, it is also a sought-after thing, young men have bought it for their favorite woman, and it is very popular." ”
Qingchen suddenly realized.
Tao walked into the inner room with Qingchen, and the two began to look through the account book, the numbers on the account book made Qingchen staggering, it turned out that in just a few years, she had become a rich man, although she could not be compared with Mofu, the richest man in Kyoto, but compared with the average rich family, it was more than enough. Thanks to Youtao, a shrewd and loyal good maid.
"Peach, my sister wants to give you processing money, and also, the shopkeeper below, the guys all process money."
"Thank you, sister!" The master and servant laughed out loud.
At this moment, the shopkeeper outside the door came in and said, "Childe, someone is looking for you outside!" ”
Qingchen secretly said in his heart: Who will be looking for her at this time? There are very few people who know that she is the owner of the Spiegel Pavilion, and the people who can find her here must be those she is extremely familiar with.
When I walked out of the door, I saw that it was the emperor's ancestor!
When Huang Xianzu saw Qingchen, he hurriedly said: "Sister, something happened in Nanyang!" ”
