Chapter 99: More and Less

Puyu's death was particularly An's, Puyu had always been her right-hand man, and now she died suddenly, for her, it was a bloody pain of broken arms.

Therefore, from the middle of the day, he sat until evening, until a maid outside shouted, "The chamberlain of the palace has come to give food!" ”

She just came out of her grief.

Every Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace will give food to the families and ministers of various families, and in the past, the two cities of the east and west had the most settled homes, all of which were four, meaning that the four seasons are peaceful and everything is good.

Knowing this rule, Ann only asked the name and number of dishes, which sounded similar to previous years, so he didn't ask again.

Because of her bad mood, during the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve in Anfu, she only showed her face, and after sitting down slightly, she retreated because she was unwell.

Everyone thought that An was worried about Princess Longsheng, so he was in a bad mood, and the others didn't care.

The next day, on the way to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, An suddenly heard several noble ladies talking, saying that when His Majesty gave vegetables yesterday, he gave six dishes to Zhan Shixiu's Mansion and Qiu's Mansion respectively, and took six or six auspicious meanings.

An chuckled in his heart and froze in place.

Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, what does this mean?

In previous years, they had the most Anfu in the east and west cities.

The four-course dish has reached the top of the emperor's grace! Now, there are six more ways to come out!

An's heart, which was already numb, was even more out of tune at this time, could it be that His Majesty really wanted to reuse Zhan Shixiu? An Shi couldn't help but think of what An Bihuai told her that day, she was very disappreciative at that time, thinking that His Majesty was just receiving the favor of Zhan Shixiu, Jiangzhou. Zhan Shixiu carried the black pot for His Majesty, and His Majesty was promoted to Zhan Shixiu's official son in order to thank him.

Or, is it the Qiu family that His Majesty and the Queen Mother value most? An Shi remembered what Puyu said, when he went to Zen Xiang Temple to pray for Buddha, the Queen Mother asked Qiu to accompany the fast, and later gave the fast to Ju Youzhai.

An's face was also very bad, and the Empress Dowager Dexin saw it and smiled and cared for a few words. An only said that he had just come to the capital. There's a lot of work, and it's just a bit of a chore.

When the ladies heard this, they hurriedly explained An's and made her relax. Don't get tired.

An's barely coped with them one by one.

I saw that most of the day had passed. Empress Dowager Dexin waved her hand at everyone. "Okay, the mourning family is also tired, and you are probably tired. Stand down, and don't forget to stop over for dinner in the evening. ”

said politely, and all the ladies hurriedly smiled and agreed.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the palace is to entertain the royal nobles, ministers, and wives.

Seeing that all the ladies were saluting and preparing to leave, An Shi was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he wanted to leave or not.

In the past, when she was in Beijing, on the first day of the new year, she basically accompanied the Queen Mother in the palace, and then it slowly became a habit.

But today, the Queen Mother did not speak, and she still has no intention of leaving her alone, An muttered in her heart, and withdrew from the hall with everyone.

When he went out, the county lord Jinxuan came over with a smile, pretending to be surprised: "Oh, Sister An, why weren't you left behind by the Queen Mother?" In previous years, you were by the Queen Mother's side all day. ”

An Shi knew that he had bad intentions, and said with a smile: "The county lord should know that our family has just returned to Beijing from Nan'an Prefecture, and there are a lot of things to deal with at home, and the queen mother is considerate of me, so she didn't leave me behind." ”

After An finished speaking, he left with Mama Jiang with a smile.

Mrs. Wang walked up, and the county lord Jinxuan snorted coldly, "What are you pretending, and you said that the Queen Mother is considerate, I don't think the Queen Mother has any intention of keeping her at all!" ”

"Hyuna, Anjia is not as good as before!"

Hyuna is the maiden name of Mrs. Wang.

"Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see it if they look closely."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Since the last time, after the commander of the Nine Infantry Army of the An family was taken back by His Majesty, I have slowly seen some clues, as the saying goes, there is no flower for a hundred days, and he has been in the family for two dynasties, and it is time to rest." ”

Mrs. Wang is usually not talkative, and this opinion impressed the county lord Jinxuan.

Lord Jinxuan whispered: "As far as I know, behind this, it is actually the idea of the Queen Mother. ”

"Won't it?" Mrs. Wang didn't believe it, "The An family is the queen mother's maiden family, how can any woman ignore her mother's family." Besides, An Yinshuang raised Princess Longsheng for the Queen Mother. ”

"Perhaps, it's because of Princess Longsheng. After a long time, who can't see that An Yinshuang did not help the Queen Mother raise a child well, a good daughter, cultivate such virtue, rampant ignorance and ignorance, and still wave. Swinging Wind. Flow, even if you think about a man in the boudoir, if you marry someone and think about other men, you almost get ruined! Now it's good to wind. The flow didn't succeed, but she contracted the epidemic and lost most of her life, you say, can the Queen Mother not hate it in her heart? ”

When Lord Jinxuan said this, Mrs. Wang also felt that it made sense.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked away together.

An Shi was ridiculed by such a red fruit, her face turned purple with anger, and she didn't speak all the way, this time, she didn't go home, but went directly to Dongcheng to settle down.

She wants to ask her father An Sheng face to face, what the hell is going on!

An Sheng and Anji were talking in the study, and when they heard the rumor outside the door that the fourth aunt and grandmother were back, they hurriedly let her in.

The father and son were very surprised by An's arrival, shouldn't she have lunch with the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace at this time?

It's been like this in previous years.

An Shi didn't care about the explanation, and asked directly: "Father, eldest brother, have you heard about Your Majesty's food?" ”

Before An Shi came, An Sheng and An Ji discussed this matter, and when they heard An Shi ask, they both nodded, and An Ji said angrily: "It's not that Your Majesty is crazy, why did you fall in love with that Zhan Shixiu!" And that Qiu family, what kind of ability, actually got six dishes! This made our settlement in the east and west cities a laughing stock in the entire capital! ”

"Jill, don't talk nonsense!" Scolding Your Majesty for convulsions, this is worth it!

An Sheng sighed, "It seems that we have to think long-term. Since the last time Bide was transferred, his father felt that something was wrong, it is said that the Jiangzhou famine has turned the page, and His Majesty's bright rise and dark fall will definitely not be as simple as it seems. Not only that, but we also lost a commander of the Nine Infantry Army, and now, it's a matter of giving vegetables, and also, Shuang'er, I'm afraid you won't be treated by the Queen Mother as before......"

An Sheng's face was full of sorrow, she was expecting her eldest daughter to become the queen mother and then glorify their Dongcheng family, but this time, not only did she not have glory, but she was repeatedly slapped in the face.

"How long has Your Majesty been on the throne? So he doesn't take our settlement in his eyes, Dad, in my opinion, he is getting an inch, thinking that we are easy to bully, we should give him a little color to see, let him understand, who is his solid backing! ”

"Big brother is right!" An agreed, "Our An family has always been loyal to the royal family, but I can't imagine that we are now so suspicious, Dad, we can't sit still, otherwise, it's really like the fish on the board, let others slaughter, and when we can't bear it anymore, we find that we have no strength to resist in our hands." ”

The situation that An Sheng said was that An Sheng had been thinking about it for many days, and what he was most afraid of was that if they didn't give any response to His Majesty's temptation, His Majesty would really gain an inch. (To be continued.) )
