Chapter Eighty-Three: The Facts (Part II)
Along the way, the queen's words made Mrs. Min beaming, and seeing that the second prince was born with a long body, a pair of starry eyes with sword eyebrows, and a straight nose, she was even happier in her heart.
The second prince raised his eyes while looking for a little lady wearing jade-colored clothes and embroidering Junzilan on the skirt, and when he looked for it, he found it, and when he looked up again, it was really her!
The face is like a full moon, the apricot eyes are peachy, and the body is small, but the whole person looks stretched casually and comfortably
The second prince suppressed the surging in his heart, arched his hand forward, and said in a softer tone: "Ke has seen Min Niangzi." ”
Min Jirou leaned back with his feet, and when he looked up again, he could see the young man's eyes shining like stars, his heart jumped "thump", he didn't know where to put his hand, but his face turned red with his own assertions, and he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid this salute, and stammered back: "The second prince is fine"
The princess stood in the corner, her eyes red with joy for a week, she had exhausted what she wanted all her life, her son was at her fingertips, no, it was not at her fingertips
Then take your eyes and look at the two young queens with a smile, even if this is a transaction, it is also a mutual benefit!
After the two of them finished saluting one by one, and exchanged a few words with several aunts, they got up and left.
Everyone's eyes looked at the stage again, the play had reached the last scene, and Liu Wenlian was happily wearing a red phoenix crown and waiting at the door, waiting for her husband to return late from the army.
watched Lang Jun gallop home on horseback, but he could only look at each other without saying a word, only a thousand tears.
Liu Wenlian unexpectedly did not act in a crying scene, but gently twisted her water sleeves with a smile and wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead for the lover in front of her. The voice dragged on long, tactful, soft and affectionate: "Lang has been gone for ten years. The concubine greeted the house. Now Lang is back. The concubine prepares rice and tea. ”
It's been ten years since you left, but every day I prepare tea and food for you, and when you come back, I will serve you with food and clothing, just as you did when you didn't leave.
Sometimes crying and weeping is not necessarily pitiful, and it may be disgusting.
And sometimes the reunion repertoire without tears is not necessarily joyful.
Such a reunion made Queen Fang's eyes astringent. She thought of her sister who died tragically for no reason, did He Yan know that he had lost a woman who revered him wholeheartedly?
Xinrong took the lead in clapping first, it was not suitable to cry on such a day, so he could only laugh and blame the people on the stage: "It's really smart!" I tried to make people cry, but I didn't! Just make them miserable for themselves! Twenty ingots of silver! ”
Ying Yi cried so much, holding the Shu embroidered silk handkerchief tightly in his hand, and endured not to cry.
Queen Fang glanced back at her, waved her sleeves, and said the word "reward" in a loud voice, which was the final evaluation of this play.
The stage was busy again. A play is a play after all, and it is impossible to indulge in it all the time. Life has to go on, one step at a time.
Wait for the next scene to beat the gongs and drums, everyone's emotions have also been cleaned up, Queen Fang listened to Gonggong Lin's whispering, then got up with a smile, Princess Xinrong took two steps forward to support, only to hear Queen Fang greet slowly: "The emperor has gone to Fengyi Palace, and the two eldest princesses have also left the house, let's go back." ”
Mrs. An Guogongshi's heart was pinched, this is only the royal family who looks at her daughter-in-law like this! On weekdays, which father-in-law still comes to see his son and daughter-in-law in person?
"The emperor has been in charge of everything in the past few days, but he still has to make time to come over, and the courtiers are uneasy" The old lady Chen Ge is more keen, the northwest is war or peace, and the emperor has not come up with a charter, but look at the three families who were selected in the end, their own family is resolutely the main battle, not to mention the Min family, the letter is still in the northwest and has not returned, and the Anguo Gongshi family has no real power in the court, let alone speak.
Two of the three are the main battles.
Does this indirectly show the emperor's attitude?
Mrs. Min walked at the end, looking as usual, neither accosting nor changing color.
Empress Fang knew in her heart what the emperor was doing when he came over. The daughter is like a mother, Duchess An Guo can't hold her breath, but Mrs. Chen is suspected of being a chicken Si Chen, it seems that only the Min family is the best, which can be regarded as the fate of two children.
Ying Yi walked behind, walking slowly, from being provoked by Xinrong at the beginning, to Jiang Cai's emotions out of control, she felt that her body was empty, and her feet were so soft that she had no strength to walk.
Zhong Ning helped her beside her, leaned close to her ear and said, "If you don't have the strength to support it, don't hold it hard, do you want to go to the Queen Mother's side and sit down?" Why look at your face these days, something is wrong. ”
Ying Yi felt extremely sore in his back, but gritted his teeth and shook his head.
Queen Fang is such a shrewd person, give her a one, she can guess ten!
The sky sank, Xiao Gong'e held a long hexagonal palace lamp in front of him, and the glazed palace lamp hung high in the corridor will illuminate brightly, and when the group arrived at the Fengyi Palace, the costumes and furnishings in the room were already regular, and the incense burner of the Pixiu Rui beast was placed next to the dendrobium, and a wisp of green smoke floated up.
Jiang Mingying stood in the porch followed by two little maids with heads, and when he saw that someone was back, he raised his voice and called: "Hold the lamp!" ”
Then a few more little palace ladies with heads tiptoed into the room, and two more red and clear palace lamps swayed.
The group went in and sat down according to their positions, leaving one for the top and two places for the left and right heads.
It didn't take long for the eldest princess of Wanyang and the eldest princess of Pingyang to come over together, and they took it without mentioning it again.
When it was completely dark, the emperor finally came.
Today, a few foreign women did not avoid going into the compartment, but buried their heads low, the emperor's eyes swept over the three little ladies, and he couldn't see his preferences clearly, and said in a deep voice: "Let's be even." ”
The atmosphere suddenly became a lot more restrained, the letter Hou grew up with the emperor, Mrs. Min was naturally used to seeing Tianwei, and she took pity on Duchess Anguo and Mrs. Chen, lowered her eyelids, and Empress Fang replied concisely when she asked.
Fortunately, there is also the eldest princess Xinrong and Princess Pingyang gag, "I remember hearing that once Liu Wenlian went to sing, Mrs. Zhongshan Hou rewarded fifty ingots of silver. The Liu family of Zhongshan Marquis is really rich. ”
Princess Pingyang smiled and replied: "Their family also has Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, and they also have fertile land in Baoding, and even in Gaoqing, they are not rich, who is rich?" ”
Empress Fang listened quietly with a smile, the incense of agarwood was peaceful and quiet, and today it smelled mixed with a little different kind of sweetness, and then looked at the emperor, and saw that the emperor listened to it with relish, Xinrong was raised in the palace of Queen Fang, and he had always regarded Xinrong as a sister like a daughter, and heard the emperor ask with a smile: "Then how much have you rewarded today?" ”
Xinrong's eyes widened, and his tone was cheerful: "Twenty taels!" When I came out to my sister-in-law's palace today, I didn't have much silver on me, brother, look! The money bag is empty! I rewarded 20 taels to Liu Wenlian, so you can reward 20 taels to Xinrong! ”
The Emperor burst out laughing.
Emperor Zhou Heng is not an approachable king, compared to the previous emperor, his distinction between monarchs and ministers is more clear, today there is the importance of the second prince, the importance of the selection of concubines, and the reason why Empress Fang invited.
"You come, the concubine's heart is like having a rod and scale, the emperor has no heirs under his knees, a total of three sons, the second prince is not only your eldest son but also the first of the next generation of the royal family to marry, you must not be cautious? People have preferences, in case the concubine likes this, the concubine must be biased towards that lady when she relays it to you, but what if the one you value is another? ”
After saying this, the emperor said yes again and again.
Seeing that the sky had completely sunk and the lights were on, Queen Fang smiled and asked people to pass the meal.
Pay attention to food without speaking, sleep without speaking, the room is so quiet that you can only hear the occasional sound of porcelain touching porcelain.
The longer the time dragged on, Ying Yi felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, her abdomen cramped, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she bit her lip to prevent the moans from overflowing.
After the emperor used a spoonful of stewed carp fillet, he waved his hand to signal the dish to be removed, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the young sister holding her stomach tightly with one hand, and clasping the edge of the table with the other, sweating profusely, she couldn't help frowning, and whispered to Queen Fang: "Do you think Ying Yi is uncomfortable?" ”
As soon as Empress Fang raised her eyes, her eyes drifted to the incense burner in the closet, and her voice became softer, but it seemed empty and deafening in this empty hall: "Yingyi, what's wrong with you?" Is the food not to taste? ”
Ying Yi endured the pain and was about to open his mouth to reply, but there was a wave of nausea in his heart, and he tilted his head and spit on the green brick floor with a "wow".
Several palace people standing next to them hurriedly came forward to clean up.
"Where is the sentence of the Zhang court!" Empress Fang's calm tone calmed the originally restless hearts of the people present.
Jiang Mingying stepped up to the crowd and said, "Zhang Yuan sentenced to give medicine to the lord of Wenyang County in the flowers." ”
The emperor was a little happy, and said in a warm voice: "Fortunately, it's next to it!" The medicine of the county lord of Wenyang is out of the way in the morning and evening, let him come over and give it to the eldest princess of Yingyi."
"Don't!" Ying Yi hurriedly raised his head, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he accentuated his tone: "Don't! It's just that I'm suffering from the cold, I'll go to the mother's harem to take a rest, don't miss everyone's interest! ”
As he spoke, he took the hand of the maid beside him and got up.
Empress Fang frowned, as if she couldn't make up her mind and looked at the emperor.
After Ying Yi turned around together, he actually provoked Xinrong's exclamation, "There is blood behind the third sister's skirt!" ”
Everyone was in an uproar, where could Zhongning still sit still, the thoughts in his heart turned back and forth, Ying Yi suddenly lived in a simple place, wearing a wide robe, and the eldest princess's mansion was forbidden to burn incense or incense, where could I not guess what was going on!
A few steps strode forward, hugged Ying Yi, and raised the volume: "You said you!" I can't even remember the little days when they come! ”
"How can you vomit when the little day comes!"
Empress Fang stood solemnly, followed by Zhong Ning's words, and caught a glimpse of the emperor also showing doubts, so she hurriedly said one by one: "Invite Zhang Yuan to come over!" Help the eldest princess of Yingyi to lie down in the room, don't let her walk around! (To be continued......)
