Chapter 30 Gossip
Mingzhu and Shuyi entered Cining Palace, and Concubine Yigui was laughing with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother chuckled twice from time to time and looked very happy.
Concubine Yigui was dressed in a rust-red soft satin moire gown, a Hunan skirt of the same color, and a simple hosta on her head, dressed in a simple and dignified manner.
Concubine Yigui is the mother of King Rong, she was still a noble talent talent, and was assigned to the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace as soon as she entered the palace.
Not only did his son have a chance to be raised and abolished, but he was also named the king and reused by the emperor, even he also had two faces in the queen mother.
Originally, the emperor had already promised to allow King Rong to take the concubine out to be raised, but Concubine Yigui originally saw that Brother Li was getting older, and she also had this intention, so she didn't want to take her daughter-in-law who died of illness before she left, and now the concubine can't go, so she just stays in the palace and talks to the queen mother, and you can also help deliver a message to her son and grandson.
"The granddaughter greets the queen mother, and the concubine greets." Shuyi gracefully stepped forward and saluted.
"Say hello to the Queen Mother, say hello to the concubine, and the concubine is well." Mingzhu also saluted.
"Okay, good boy, get up, you're from the academy? The pearl is brighter, the Queen Mother, you are really blessed, the granddaughter is beautiful and even the niece and granddaughter of the mother's family are so smart, how can you get it! Have you ever seen Brother Li, that leather boy ran out just now? Concubine Yigui smiled kindly and quickly let the child get up.
"I saw that he knocked us into an ass, I li's brother li's meal was delicious, and he promised to bring me delicious and fun next time." Shuyi stepped forward and took her seat with a grin.
"Oops! This leather boy, good boy, did you break it? Why is this kid still so stinging? Wait for him to come back and see how I teach him. When Concubine Yigui heard this, her face suddenly changed, and her tone became a little more helpless and stern.
"It's okay concubine, don't take it personally, I'm not doing well. Don't blame Brother Li, he apologized to me, and this matter is over. Shuyi waved her hand nonchalantly, even if something happened, she would take the initiative to let it pass.
She can't afford to offend a prince with real power, even the queen mother can't afford to offend, and it's too late to win over.
"It's good that you didn't fall, or I wouldn't have spared that leather boy." Concubine Yigui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"It's okay, how old is the child, Shuyi is a sensible child, the mourning family asked Brother Li to clean up a yard and come out, you pick a few clever and sensible people to serve in the past, don't worry, there is a mourning family, and you, the grandmother, can she still turn the sky up?" The Queen Mother patted Concubine Yigui's hand to comfort her.
"Imperial grandmother, I'll go to the warm pavilion with Mingzhu to play for a while." Shuyi saw that the adults had something to say, and took the initiative to give way.
"Well, good boy, let's go play." The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.
Mingzhu took Shuyi to the warm pavilion where she lived, "Zhuxin, you go and get some snacks and tea, and I'll talk to Shuyi." ”
"Yes."
"What do you say the concubine is here for? I guess it's definitely for the sake of the step-princess. "Shuyi's little ghost opened his mouth.
Mingzhu chuckled and asked, "How do you know, the concubine used to come over to talk and chat with the queen mother." ”
"In the past, it may have been chatting and talking, but now it is definitely not, Brother Li has been wronged, this is her grandson, and the concubine can stop before there is a ghost. Don't believe me. ”
Zhuxin came in with a mahogany tray, served a few novel snacks, and boiled hot almond milk tea.
"Thank you, Sister Zhuxin, ah! What is this red dim sum made of, it's pretty good-looking, and it smells good and has a floral fragrance. Shuyi saw a novelty that she hadn't eaten before, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This is the eldest lady came up with, the shortbread made with rose filling, the taste is very delicious, this yellow is the slightly sweet osmanthus filling, the princess tastes it? The filling is not unusual, but the method of preparation is very unique, fragrant and fragrant. Zhuxin explained with a smile.
Shuyi took a sip, then nodded slightly, her eyes were shining, "It's delicious, it's better than the rose cakes I've eaten before, and the taste is fragrant and the taste is also sweet and not greasy." ”
"Actually, it's not unusual, it's just that the drying method is a little troublesome, and the fragrance of roses is retained, and the sugar is slightly different when it is prepared. If you like me to write you the recipe, you can go back and let someone do it for you. Mingzhu chuckled.
Shuyi frowned, "It's so troublesome, then I don't want it, I'll still come to eat to save trouble." "When I heard that I had to dry and adjust the stuffing, it was troublesome.
Mingzhu smiled and talked to her about something else.
After playing for a while, Shuyi saw that the time was almost up, and she smiled and said, "I'll go back, and the queen mother told me to let me go to her for dinner today." ”
"Okay, then you can go back, see you tomorrow." Mingzhu didn't keep her either.
"Well, I'm back, don't send it." Shuyi took the palace maid to bid farewell to the Queen Mother and left.
The Queen Mother and Concubine Yigui talked for a while, and the Concubine also said goodbye and returned to her bedroom.
waited for the Queen Mother to leave Mingzhu before she came out, "Queen Mother, what is the concubine doing?" ”
"Guess what?" The Queen Mother deliberately took the school pearl and deliberately sold Guanzi.
Mingzhu tilted his head and thought for a while before he spoke: "I guess it's to block Princess Rong, Zhou Li is the eldest son of King Rong, and he is also very happy with the concubine." Now that she has suffered for no reason, the concubine is so angry that it is strange to spare her so easily. ”
Her big bright eyes blinked, quite agile and intelligent.
"Oh, what's the way to add to the block?" The Queen Mother looked at Mingzhu with a smile on her face, and took the opportunity to teach Mingzhu as well, letting her know that some eyebrows are high and eyes are low, and girls can't raise too high.
"If you want me to say that the simplest and most direct way is to let Rong Wang Sai personally enter the mansion, it is the meaning of his mother's love for her son, and it is also to knock the princess's hand not to stretch too long. I'm afraid that this time the concubine wants a person of high grade is not low, according to my thoughts, the ordinary concubine can't compete with the princess, and there is no side concubine in the Rongwang Mansion over the years, and the relationship with the first princess was harmonious and affectionate before, and the concubine loved it very much, so no, and then I didn't want one, probably for the sake of family harmony.
Now it is estimated that the concubine will make a move, at least she is also a side concubine, and her mother's rank will definitely be a little higher than that of the princess, so as not to have a suppressive effect, but it will not be too outrageous so as not to make the emperor think more, so I came to you first to discuss with you, which is also a matter of respect, and what I said is right, Queen Mother? "Mingzhu's analysis is reasonable and very in place.
