Chapter 324: Winter
This winter is the most nourishing and lazy winter for Mingzhu, because the Queen Mother didn't let her enter the palace, for fear of affecting her, so she had to tease her sisters at home, draw and write, and yo-yo-yo or something.
Every once in a while, people were asked to bring some of their own hand-embroidered clothes into the Queen Mother to give her filial piety.
The emperor didn't reward Mingzhu with too many things, but the usual rewards were almost the same, but Brother Yu was taken by his side to train him personally, and Brother Qi was also doing a very good job in the military department.
The third brother also got a good name, and the emperor praised it, obviously remembering the names of the descendants of the Shangguan family, which made her happier than rewarding Mingzhu with anything, and her brothers were only hard when she had a good waist.
Zhang was very happy, and specially chose a set of fine jade jewelry to thank Mingzhu, she knew that her son could be mentioned by the emperor It was all the credit of Mingzhu, otherwise how could the emperor remember who was who?
"Auntie, you're too polite, but this jewelry is so elegant, I won't be polite to you." Mingzhu hugged the jewelry with a small fortune and did not let go.
"You're happy to accept your aunt, it's a good way to send this today, mainly to remind you, that old seven is very scary, I don't think he will let our family make you feel better, you have to enter the palace draft, but you must pay attention to it." Zhang is genuinely worried about Mingzhu.
Mingzhu left the exemption quota to Mingya, she was very grateful, and she didn't want Mingya to enter the palace draft, her daughter's temperament was a little naΓ―ve, although she felt sorry for Mingzhu, but she couldn't give up this place, she really wanted to let her daughter enter the palace draft. The daughter is not as calm and strong as Mingzhu.
"Auntie, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Mingzhu smiled and nodded.
"Auntie can't stand you and let you face danger, Auntie is selfish, but you also know Mingya's temperament, she lacks a calmness. I don't know how grateful and happy you are to give the quota to Mingya, but I have seen the face of the Seven Princes. The look in his eyes was terrifying. It's more terrible than a poisonous snake, and my heart pounds when I think about it now. Zhang remembered Lao Qi's gloomy devil-like eyes after looking in the mirror, and she was scared as an adult.
She didn't tremble in the face of a dead body in one place. I can't stop trembling at this half-grown child, it's really .......
Yongtai was very curious, "What's wrong with him scaring you like this?" She laughed twice.
Zhang clapped his hands and shouted, "Oops! Sister-in-law. You don't know that the child is five or six, and that eye looks at you and scares people to death! I greeted my dad on the first day I got married. I wasn't scared like that, I didn't tremble at the dead bodies outside the cave, this kid looked at me. I'm shivering! The eyes were gloomy, as if the demon had crawled out of the territory, hey! Can't think. I'm scared when I think about it. She patted her chest with a somewhat ugly face.
Yongtai pondered, "Mingzhu." You have to be careful, for a man with a strong sense of power, losing the qualification to reach the pinnacle of power makes him more sad than killing him, and he may be a demon. β
Mingzhu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I know, I will be cautious, I won't let him succeed, and I'll make him look a little uglier if I'm in a hurry." β
"Don't be impulsive, this is the time when the emperor pities him, in the end, he is his own son, and his heart always hurts."
Zhang's heart is worried, this eldest niece is too much like the grandfathers of the Shangguan family, there is a ruthlessness in her bones that no woman has, it is nothing to be ruthless to others, and it is scary to be ruthless to herself, but fortunately, Mingzhu has a very bottom line, which makes people feel a little more down-to-earth.
"Don't worry, I won't do that unless I have to." Mingzhu lowered her head and smiled slightly, but she was firm in her heart, that is, she must find an opportunity to kill Lao Qi and cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
The weather is cold, probably because there are more things this year, and the emperor's air pressure is also very low, and there are many fewer banquets in every household in the capital, and no one comes out to walk around.
Mingzhu cat tonic at home, took out his ability to press the bottom of the box, and discussed how to make up for benefits with the doctor, and the doctor was very interested in her prescription, and after repeated arguments, the doctor thought it was very feasible.
In the winter of only two months, Mingzhu not only lost a little weight according to his own method, but his complexion was more than a step better than before.
The Chinese New Year is about to begin, and after a winter of operation, the emperor has installed and transferred a number of generals in Fujian, scattered the manpower of King Duan of Fujian, and inserted a lot of his own people, although he still can't enter the core, but there has been a certain improvement.
On this day, Jia Zhen ran over with a few younger sisters, "Oops! It's a really cold day, it's the second snow, and it's getting colder. β
"It's a shame that you're still crawling by the window to draw, and you're not too cold to panic." Mingzhu handed her a bowl of hot milk tea.
Jia Zhen tasted it and sighed comfortably, "It's still my sister's milk tea, how did I learn that it tastes wrong." β
"You don't have enough patience." Mingzhu gently stirs the teaspoon.
"Sister, we're going to the draft at the beginning of spring, are you ready?" Jia Xuan suddenly spoke.
Since that quarrel, Jiaxuan has become invisible, almost without opening her mouth, and rarely walking around and joking with everyone, the sisterhood is a little farther away, but she will still be there on some necessary occasions, but she is extremely silent.
During the New Year's holidays, she would also prepare a gift for her sisters and elders to send over, and the rest would be gone.
"I have nothing to prepare, the Seventh Prince's face is ruined, Yu Da is hopeless, he may take revenge on our family, you better not get out of my sight, otherwise you are likely to be killed, and several female officials and daughters of the family will die in every draft, which is not a big deal for the royal family." Mingzhu still needs to be reminded.
"Yes, I see, thank you, sister." Jia Xuan lowered her head and answered.
"No matter what choice you make, don't use the reputation of the daughter of the official family as your stepping stone, once you do it, you won't get anything, you know that I have the ability to beat you back to your original shape." Mingzhu is most worried about Jiaxuan.
"I won't, it's not just you who love your family, I'm the same, I haven't done anything to be sorry for my family." Jia Xuan suddenly got up angrily and left, without looking back.
Mingzhu just chuckled and didn't say anything.
"Sister, did she make a sour and our sisters like this? I felt a little sick in my heart. Jia Zhen looked a little sad with a bitter face.
"It's okay, your second sister is stubborn, sooner or later she will understand." Mingzhu wasn't worried, just smiled.
"Will you really turn back? The second sister also ignored me. Jia Zhenbian looked so aggrieved, the sisterhood was not just thrown away, she was still very sad in her heart.
"She can't let go, so it's like a thorn, and if she puts it down, she's a stranger, will you lose your temper at a stranger and shake your face?" Mingzhu smiled knowingly. (To be continued.) )
