Chapter 72: Against
"Auntie, do you know what the mother is calling for?" Cui Keyin walked while talking to Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang smiled: "This slave doesn't know. ”
The tone and demeanor were very respectful.
Cui Keyin didn't ask any more, and walked with her for half an hour and came to Yongxin Palace.
The queen was dressed in a honey-colored gold sprinkled flower gown, and a blue satin dark flower chrysanthemum skirt, sitting on the kang near the window, and said to Cui Keyin who was saluting with a smile: "Don't be polite, come and sit." ”
Cui Keyin thanked him, and the people from his own palace brought Jindun over.
The queen looked at her carefully and said, "The last time we met in a hurry, I didn't have a chance to talk to you. They say that you have a quiet temperament, I don't think you talk much, I guess you don't like to talk much? ”
Cui Keyin was surprised. The queen mother is really good at talking, and they say that she is stupid, and when it comes to the queen's mouth, it becomes quiet. I didn't see it, the queen has always been inconspicuous, and she has such eloquence.
"The courtier's clumsy mouth made the mother smile." Cui Keyin said with a smile.
The queen also smiled and said, "Your eyes are deep when you don't move, and your eyes are smart and clear when you move, so you don't look like a person with a lack of intelligence." ”
I don't know if the Queen Mother has seen it? Or are you confused by the people around you and have preconceived ideas, so you don't notice it?
Cui Keyin deeply felt that the queen had the insight to observe people, and said from the bottom of her heart: "The mother is wise." ”
The queen asked her who was in her family and how the Cui family had always taught their children. Cui Keyin picked what she could say, and said what she couldn't say.
Cui Keyin talked about playing tangrams, nine links, flying kites, and playing tricks on her brother when she was a child, and the queen listened to it with relish. Said: "Your rich family can play better than the children of our small family." When I was a child, in addition to following my father to read and write, I followed my mother to do needlework to subsidize the family. ”
"Niang Niang is really expensive, which one can we compare?" Cui Keyin said with a smile.
The queen covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled, and said: "It's too expensive to say that the chrysanthemum party in the imperial garden is good, and it's a pity that no one appreciates the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden." ”
Cui Keyin said: "Isn't Niangniang going to join in the fun?" ”
The emperor shook his head and said, "I don't want to go." She made a lot of posts in the palace. When you just came out. How many people do you see? ”
"No, I don't."
The queen didn't say it, Cui Keyin thought that Li Xiuxiu only invited the handkerchief before entering the palace.
The queen laughed twice and said, "Who will make her face?" Those who can mix in this palace are not stupid. ”
It is enough to have this sentence. Cui Keyin said: "She looks good. Presumably very favored by the emperor? ”
Even if there is no popularity in the palace. With Emperor An's favor, she can also live a very nourishing life.
The queen called out to a palace person: "Go and bring the "Living Note". ”
Of course, the "Living Note" here is not a record of the emperor's words and deeds in the front hall by the living scriptures and feasts (official positions). Instead, the eunuchs recorded the times, time, and place of the emperor's concubines, so that the concubines could be consulted when they were pregnant, ensuring a record of the royal lineage.
Soon. The palace people took the "Living Note", which was a thin booklet.
The queen handed it to Cui Keyin and said, "You will know it when you see it." ”
Only the Queen Mother and the Queen have the right to see this, and it is against the rules for others to see it. Where did Cui Keyin dare to answer, and said: "Don't dare." ”
The queen handed the booklet to the palace people and said, "Only once." ”
Cui Keyin was stunned.
The two talked and talked about it, and before they knew it, it was almost noon, and the palace people came to ask for instructions on what dishes to add to lunch.
Cui Keyin got up and said goodbye.
The queen said: "You can go out of the palace directly after lunch here." ”
Cui Keyin intuitively felt that the queen knew the contradiction between Li Xiuxiu and her, and thought about how big a battle Li Mingfeng had before in order to marry Li Xiuxiu to Zhou Heng. Presumably because of this, Emperor An was indifferent to Li Xiuxiu?
She was just stunned, and the queen had already pointed to two dishes in the dishes presented by the palace people, and said, "Add two dishes." He said to Cui Keyin: "I see that you like to eat roast duck, let the imperial chef serve it for lunch." ”
There was a roast duck at the moon viewing banquet, the skin was crispy, Cui Keyin sandwiched more chopsticks, but she didn't expect the queen to notice it.
"Xie Niangniang." Cui Keyin's heart moved, and she said sincerely.
In the imperial garden, famous chrysanthemums such as mud gold incense, purple dragon lying snow, cinnabar red frost, jade feather tube, Yaotai jade phoenix and so on bloom in the sun, and the exquisite dim sum fragrance is attractive, but Li Xiuxiu's smile is stiff.
Except for a few handkerchiefs, none of the concubines in the palace came over.
Li Xiuxiu lost face, and endured it so that she didn't have a seizure. The handkerchiefs made eye contact one by one, and their sneering and sarcastic expressions could not be hidden.
"Niangniang, Miss Cui has lunch at Yongxin Palace." The palace people's heads were almost hanging to their chests, and they secretly prayed that the master's anger would not be vented on themselves.
There was a "bang", and the tea cup in Li Xiuxiu's hand was thrown on the ground and shattered.
The palace people hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Do you think that if you shoot the queen's ass, you can ignore the palace?" Li Xiuxiu sneered.
No one in the palace dared to speak out.
The handkerchiefs looked at each other, and one said: "Niangniang, my nephew is sick, and my sister-in-law has always been fierce, and if I don't go back, she will definitely refuse to take a break." That's the farewell. ”
The man didn't wait for Li Xiuxiu to agree, he lifted his skirt and ran fast.
Some people start, and others naturally find an excuse to scatter at will.
Li Xiuxiu was so angry that she lifted the table, and the dim sum carefully made by the imperial chef was scattered all over the ground.
"It's all Cui Keyin, this demon girl!" Li Xiuxiu gritted her teeth, and immediately wrote a note after returning to the dormitory, calling the personal maid who accompanied the marriage, and said, "You go to the Dingxing Marquis Mansion immediately." ”
The maid hid the note close to her, changed into her usual clothes, and quietly walked around the imperial garden to a secluded place in the back. There are good people there who can let her enter and leave the palace gate at any time.
Li Mingfeng read the note, didn't care about eating, and immediately started to make arrangements.
Jiang was resting for lunch and sleeping soundly, Cuihuan woke her up and said, "The palace sent two baskets of vegetables and vegetables, half a sheep, and a big pot of goat's milk." ”
"Which nobleman sent it?" Jiang Shi raised his side and said, "Which father-in-law came to deliver the decree?" ”
It's not a year, what do you do with such a little vegetable? It's never been before.
Cuihuan said: "No, the one who came was an eleven or twelve-year-old father-in-law, and his face was very raw." ”
"Eleven or twelve-year-old father-in-law?" Jiang was even more puzzled.
Jian Qiu lifted the curtain and came in and said: "Madam, the father-in-law from the palace said that the queen mother said that these things were handled appropriately by the young lady in the palace, and the young lady was specially rewarded." ”
The Queen Mother has rewarded her several times, either silk or silk, and has never rewarded food. Besides, what is the meaning of appreciating two baskets of vegetables or vegetables that are very common in the market?
Jiang didn't understand it even more.
The waiter who came urged him to accept the gift with a stack of voices, and said that he had an edict.
Jiang invited the chamberlain to the middle hall, and saw that the chamberlain was a half-grown child, his voice was not as sharp as that of the chamberlain, and his gestures were a bit like that of a normal eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and he couldn't help but be even more confused.
