Chapter 26: Turbulence
After Emperor Zhou Hui and the Queen Mother finished performing a deep love between mother and son, they finally got to the point, and the Queen Mother asked why Emperor Zhou Hui came over at this time, and Emperor Zhou Hui replied that the scholars of the Hanlin Academy in the front hall suggested a poetry fight with the theme of the Thousand Autumn New Year's Banquet, and everyone responded to the topic with great interest, and Emperor Zhou Hui came here to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday first in order not to put pressure on everyone and spoil their Yaxing.
After Emperor Zhou Hui finished speaking, the few people who were surprised that he came here were no longer strange.
Speaking of literary talents, it definitely has nothing to do with Emperor Zhou Hui, because Emperor Zhou Huidi's literary talents have always been very ordinary, and the old scholars of the Hanlin Academy are mostly old scholars, who only know how to read and write books for the benefit of future generations.
Of course, she also knew about these queen mothers, but at this time, she didn't have a clear expression at all, and said with a smile: "The emperor is really considerate of the ministers. ”
"The Queen Mother is right, the Holy One is really benevolent." Concubine Xian said good things when she saw the stitches.
"Holy Lord, you are really considerate of others, but you also need to pay attention to the Holy Communion." Concubine De is not far behind.
Suddenly only these four people were left talking in Chaoyang Pavilion, and the others were very consciously quiet, and Emperor Zhou Hui didn't say anything under the praise of the three queen mothers, just smiled slightly, until their words fell, Emperor Zhou Hui didn't say anything, and looked like he was going to leave, but at this time Concubine De suddenly asked: "I don't know if the saint remembers, Phoenix Terrace ...... a few years ago."
"The Holy Dragon is not in good health, and I really only heard about it now, so I don't know if I can let the Imperial Doctor diagnose and treat it?" But someone interrupted Concubine De's questioning.
Chaoyang Pavilion was also quiet again in an instant, and everyone looked at the Xu family, but the speaker would never be a member of the Xu family, such a blatant provocation of Concubine De, Old Madam Qi and Old Madam Zheng would not do it, and those who dared to do it, of course, there was only one person here.
"It turned out to be the princess of Beiding, I'm fine, don't worry." Emperor Zhou Hui replied very much to Rui's face.
But Concubine De's face was not good, and even the virtuous concubine on the side sank her eyes, and she turned her head sideways to say something to Emperor Zhou Huidi, but this time it was Rui's turn not to give them a chance, and Rui then said: "That's good, Qiqi Sheng, the old princess has always remembered you and the queen mother." ”
As soon as the three words "old princess" came out, Concubine De and Concubine Xian were stunned for a while, and even the Queen Mother, who had been sitting and watching the tiger fight, paused for a while holding the hand of the Xueqing Coral Tea Bowl.
"Lao She remembered the old man, and when Princess Beiding went back, she would ask me okay." Only Emperor Zhou Hui said without any effect.
"Yes, remember the commandments of the Holy Lord."
"Okay, presumably the front hall has also come to an end, I should go back, everyone can do their own thing."
"Congratulations to the Holy One."
Emperor Zhou Hui got up, led by Concubine De and Concubine Xian, who had a faint obscure face, and sent Emperor Zhou Hui away, but Emperor Zhou Hui stopped for a moment before stepping out of Chaoyang Pavilion, and turned his head to look at the only black in the crowd of white flowers.
"Holy Lord, what's wrong?" Concubine De asked.
"It's fine." Emperor Zhou Hui shook his head, didn't say anything, stepped out of Chaoyang Pavilion, and left.
Emperor Zhou Hui left, of course, everyone got up and went back to their seats, and the Xu family was no exception, but after they returned to their seats, Xu Youshan and the four of them all shivered several times, and the glance before Emperor Zhou Hui left, if they felt right, it was thrown at them, which was not a good thing.
But no matter what they thought, the banquet continued to go on, the cups were staggered, the gold and silver were glowing, and Xie Jing and the three of them didn't leave until the end of the banquet, and at the banquet, the two concubines De and Xian also dug pits for the Xu family many times, but they were all avoided by Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng, not to mention the help of the Rui family. So although there was no good feast in this banquet, everyone in the Xu family still passed it safely.
Except, since Xu Ming's song "Huaiyang Dream", Coco Xie has been like a wolf and a tiger.
At the Imperial Gate
"Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to think about it." Old Madam Qi clenched Rui's hand and sighed.
"Me too, Sanniang, I thank you for the girl, I can't thank you enough." Old Madam Zheng also said with some excitement.
Rui's family is the third in the family, so people close to him are called Sanniang.
"Come on, you don't come to this set, don't you see the outside, why do the three of us have to say this." Rui Shi said indifferently, but shook their hands tightly, "Go back quickly, those four girls must be frightened a lot this time, especially Mingxi." ”
"Well, we know."
There are few words, but every sentence is true, the carriage of the Xu family is here, and it is separated from the Beiding Palace, until it reaches the front of Desheng Gate, and after meeting with Xu Luo, they drive out of the palace and go to Dongyang Lane and Qilin Fang.
And after returning to Xu's Mansion, after Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng told Xu Luo and a few people about the things in Chaoyang Pavilion, what kind of violent and depressive atmosphere was in the house, it was not that Xu Youshan, who was physically and mentally tired, and Xu Youshan, who had already fallen asleep in bed unconscious, knew.
……
……
The Thousand Autumn New Year's Banquet has ended, but the palace is still brightly lit, especially outside the Wutai Palace, on the paths full of phoenix orbs, the soft and bright brilliance is still illuminating everything too clearly.
For example, at this time, the two people standing next to Hanshui.
"The meaning of the Xu family couldn't be clearer."
The night breeze in early spring is the coldest, especially next to this Han River, which is even more cold and urgent, and it blows the golden silk lotus and the green jade condensed skirt of the person who spoke.
"Oh yes, it couldn't be clearer."
But no matter how cold the wind in early spring is, it can't compare to some colder things, things, or people, such as at this time, on the stunning faces of these two people beside the Han River that have been eroded by the years, there is no trace of emotion.
"Alas...... Speaking of which, it's not time to talk to you, sister, the eldest daughter of the Bi family's generation, and now she is only two years old. And the Fang family has an eldest daughter of the right age, but she is not a concubine, it is really a pity for your sister. ”
"Oh? My sister really feels so sorry for me, but my sister also said back to you, I also feel sorry for you very much, I heard that you once asked your Fanyang Lu family to marry the eldest daughter of the Lu family's generation, but my brother didn't agree, right? I married my daughter right after the incident, oops, this is really sorry for you. ”
"Sister's words, what she said is really inexplicable, how could my brother not want to? I'm afraid it's what you heard from it. ”
"Hearsay? Huh"
Of course, these two people are the two concubines of virtue and virtue, and after a bit of arguing, the two finally fell silent.
"Come on, now is the time to talk about this? Tell me what the hell is the matter with me? ”
"The first three secretaries of the court, one person was abolished, and now only the second secretary is left, but although the Shangshu order is empty, the left servant has been filled, and the nine secretaries are still together." When Concubine Xian said "the first three Qing, one person is wasted", Concubine De's eyes were ruthless, but she looked at the turbulent Han water, Concubine Xian couldn't see it, and even if Concubine Xian saw it, she wouldn't care too much.
"Among them, there are four women in the Jiangzuo Xu family of one family and three secretaries, three concubines and one concubine, but there are only two people with the right age, but they are all grandmothers; As for the situation of the Bi family and the Fang family, I think you know better than me, sister, so there is no need to say more; As for the newly promoted Wen family, although it inherited the light of Wen Rulin and was ranked in the Jiuqing clan, its background was still one level lower than the above three. And the rest of the ones don't need to be considered. However, in addition to Jiuqing, of course, there are many powerful people in the court, but among them, only the Qi family of the king of Beiding and the Nie family of the prince of Zhenguo, although the Qi family of the king of Beiding has a daughter, but she is young and does not mention it first, as long as the old princess is alive for one day, it is estimated that even the emperor will not go against her will; Zhenguo Gong Nie's family, no daughters. ”
"What the hell are you going to say?" Of course Concubine De understands what Concubine Xian said, otherwise how could she be so energetic as to set up the Xu family, isn't it because the biggest force that can be won for the heir is to tie up the Xu family through marriage.
"What I want to say is that it is better for us to join forces and divide the Xu family into two."
The turbulent Han water suddenly stopped, and it was very quiet. The cold night breeze of spring also suddenly disappeared without a trace, and everything around was no longer moving in the eyes of Concubine De.
