Chapter 9: The Virtuous Empress
The newcomer entered the palace for more than three months, and the queen's body and bones have improved a lot, and the new concubines who entered the palace have already knocked on the queen first, but the queen's body has not been good, and this one has been delayed. Today, her body is getting more and more refreshing, so she also summoned all the concubines in the palace to her Qingning Palace to knock on her.
I waited for the decree early, and after some freshening up, I went out of the Zhongsha Palace with Liao Zhaoyuan, and the concubines in front of the Qingning Palace also happened to arrive.
Qin Shujiu also paid attention to Xu Cairen by the way, I have to say that this favored concubine is different, today she is wearing a grass orchid skirt, the gradient tassel hangs on one side, and the golden stamens peony on her head is thought to be given by His Majesty, and it is even more delicate when it is inserted in the hair at this time. And the same is true of Ni Baolin beside her, and she doesn't know when she has such a good relationship with Xu Cairen, the two of them are there together, raising their heads and looking pampered.
These Xu Ni and the two are the two most favored new concubines of His Majesty at present, and they are proud of themselves in front of the people who enter together, but in front of other concubines with higher ranks, they also know how to be restrained. When the beauties, Jieyu and even the nine concubines arrived, the two of them were not empty over there, but waited obediently aside.
After all the concubines were gathered, they got the approval of the chamberlain and entered the Qingning Palace. The queen in the Qingning Palace had already dressed up and sat on the palace, and the four concubines of Guishu and Dexian were also waiting inside, waiting for all the concubines to gather in this hall before bowing to the queen.
All the concubines said in unison.
"The concubine knocks on the peace, and the queen mother is blessed with Jin'an."
"The concubine knocks on the peace, and the queen mother is blessed with Jin'an."
After this knock, the queen bowed down and bowed, and then said, "Sisters, get up." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." After thanking him in unison, he got up, and found a place to sit under the queen's signal. After the concubines and concubines were seated, the queen made an inspection and then said: "The palace has been unwell recently, and I should have seen and taught the new sisters when they first entered the palace. Looking at it now, the younger sisters are also well-behaved, and I think that all this is Zheng Guifei's own work. After speaking, he moved his gaze to Zheng Guifei, and immediately Zheng Guifei got up, and then bowed lightly and replied.
"My sister is serious, my sister and mother care about the people of the world, and this body needs to rest when she is tired, although her sister is not talented, but her sister is not talented but her sister is not only to hand over the affairs of the harem to her sister, but this is naturally dedicated to teaching the new concubines, so my sister does not have to work hard, my sister must arrange it properly. But if my sister's body is not good, don't be tired, otherwise Your Majesty will have to worry. ”
"Thank you sister for worrying."
Zheng Guifei can be regarded as the most fair and clear person in this palace, the queen's physical discomfort during the six palaces has always been her disposal, now seeing her say this is also satisfied, immediately nodded and then smiled and waved her hand to signal her to sit back, and then said: "The appearance of this palace is more and more unsuccessful, so this harem matter is to bother the four sisters to worry more, although the affairs of the harem look brief, but if everything is clear, it is extremely cumbersome, the trivial matters inside and outside the palace, the dignity of the position, that is everything sloppy." The palace has also been disposed of for many years, but now this body is a little powerless, so it is inevitable that the four younger sisters can work together to make it clear, so as not to upset His Majesty. ”
After all, the main palace lady is the main palace mother, even if she is unwell, but this faction is still the same, and when she says that, she will make the concubines bow and bow straight and clear. The queen was satisfied with Concubine Zheng Guifei's assistance in the affairs of the Sixth Palace, but Concubine Zheng Guifei was also dissatisfied, and after the queen said that, she responded to "my sister knows" and returned to her position smoothly.
After Concubine Zheng returned to the throne, the queen mother looked at the others, asked about the recent affairs in the palace, and also cared about the homework of the princes in the palace. Like the third prince of Concubine Lin Shu, the fourth prince of Youzhaoyi, and the sixth prince and Princess Ningping who were born to the twin sisters almost at the same time, the next is Princess Leping, who is not yet one year old, born by Min Jieyu. After some careful inquiry, after knowing that the princes and princesses were all right, the queen said "Ancestor blessing" and then asked some other things.
The queen asked about the affairs of the palace, Qin Shujiu was not idle, it was rare that all the concubines in the harem had gathered together, and now she should take this opportunity to take a good look.
The queen is the daughter of the Taibao of the current dynasty, and the mother of the world is a model for all concubines. Concubine Zheng Guifei is the daughter of the Taifu, her father was in a high position in the former dynasty, and her daughter was the head of the noble concubine in the harem, and this honor can be compared to the number of people below. As for the other three concubines, Concubine Lin Shu is the old Shangshu, and the two concubines Dexian are the pearls of the Hussar General's Mansion and the Auxiliary General's Mansion, and the four concubines of this harem plus an empress have taken in the Chinese military ministers.
The status of the queen's four concubines is extremely high, as for Jieyu and the beauties, they are also important ministers in the court, in the eyes of others, His Majesty favors the courtiers and his daughter, but in Qin Shujiu's opinion, this is not the case.
The daughter of this family can be in this harem, but it can be regarded as a kind of restraint, this time I can't help but chuckle, under this chuckle, I heard the queen call her, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly got up and then bent down to Wanfu but there was no word.
Seeing Qin Shujiu getting up and committing a crime, the queen said, "What is my fair treasure lin? Qin Shujiu replied: "Yu Niangniang, the concubine didn't think about anything else, but when she first entered this Qingning Palace, she worshiped under Niangniang Fengyi for the first time, because she was afraid of losing her mind, and she didn't hear Qing Niangniang's words, hoping that Niangniang would forgive her sins." Then he fell to the ground, not daring to get up.
Fengqian deserves to be punished for losing her manners, but this queen is not that petty person, and she didn't think that she would punish Qin Shujiu for such a thing. It was Concubine Na Lide, who snorted directly after listening to Qin Shujiu's pleading: "It seems that this Lady Baolin also has a pleasing mouth, and the words she said are not good for people to blame her, sister, do you say so?" The last words were said to the queen, although they were said, but Concubine Lide did not mean to salute, but was just lazy like an ordinary sister talking about family affairs.
With a slight bow, the queen said: "Concubine De is right, Miao Baolin has already said that if this Shangben Palace is punished again, it will be a little unreasonable." It's just that Miao Baolin, I heard that the Xiuxuan Palace said the origin of the girl's name, and the poem is very fond of the palace, and I want to ask who the poem comes from, if it is fate, I want to see it. ”
The queen asked about this matter, and her mind turned lightly, Qin Shujiu replied: "Yu Niangniang, the source of the name was made by a sister-in-law in the nunnery who was fostered since childhood, but that sister-in-law has passed away for a long time, and the mother has no chance to come." ”
"It's a pity that I don't have a chance to say this, it's rare to listen to such beautiful poems, and I think that the sister-in-law who can chant such poems is also a good person, but it's a pity." After a faint sigh, the queen raised her head to look at Qin Shujiu again, and said suddenly: "My Majesty's words are given by Your Majesty, My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, Your Majesty has a heart for My Majesty." My Lady Baolin doesn't want to live up to His Majesty's wishes, and he will serve His Majesty wholeheartedly in the future. ”
"Concubines follow the teachings of their mothers."
"That's the case, then that's all for today, I'm afraid the sisters are also tired, let's disperse first today, and go back to their respective dormitories."
"The concubine thanked the mother for her teaching, and hoped that the mother would live a long life and be blessed with peace and security."
"The concubine bows and thanks the mother's mother's teaching, and I hope that the mother will live a long life and be blessed with peace and security."
After some thanks, the concubines retreated and walked out of Qingning Palace and retreated.
