Chapter 80: Horse Tracks (Part II)
got the post and Princess Pingyang's letter, and there were naturally a few happy and a few sad in Dingjing.
Mrs. Min clasped her hands together, almost crying with joy, the emperor was still willing to consider the Min family, which showed that the Hou in the letter had not been given up, and his heart was more stable, and he taught the eldest daughter Min Jirou: "There are so many things in the He family, Queen Fang is upset, at this time, she has to worry about the marriage of the eldest son, she must be doubly unhappy, and when the time comes, talk less to the princess, and the grandmother will definitely go, you just pull the grandmother to talk." ”
Thinking about Xingzhao, Mrs. Min was worried about Xingzhao's injury, and remembered what Mrs. He said after Xingzhao was picked up that day, "This is the queen's mother making a face for Xingzhao, what is Xingzhao's surname?" Surname He! Isn't it also making faces for our He family? This is the grace of heaven, and we can afford it! ”
A very slap in the face turned a few words into a great grace.
Who would dare to say otherwise?
"When you talk to Auntie, talk more about good things, it's better to live next to your aunt than to live" Mrs. Min swallowed the latter sentence, the He family has always shown people with a humble and low-key attitude, but unfortunately there is a saying that Jin Yu is ruined on the outside?
Today's events can be said to be a coincidence, but which one in the capital can stand on its feet is not a human spirit? Who doesn't look at things and doesn't think deeper?
Mrs. Min looked at the eldest daughter's lotus-like white face with a little puzzlement, sighed softly, and did not mention the matter.
In the Fengyi Palace, it is quiet and quiet, and the atmosphere is warm and tranquil.
"Eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, one pot. Plus stewed carp fillet. This is what the lady of the Anguo family likes. Add a rouge rose duck breast, which is Chen Ge's old lady's preference, and finally put on a clear water condensation soup, which is a hot and refreshing taste after meals. Jiang Mingying looked at the booklet and read it aloud, and after reading it, she raised her head while closing the booklet and continued: "Si Le Fang ordered a fold of "Icebreaker" and a fold of "Huang Xiangji", and specially invited Liu Wenlian to sing. ”
Queen Fang leaned on the warm couch and listened to Jiang Mingying's words, and she was interested. asked, "Did the three families send someone to ask?" ”
Jiang Mingying nodded with a smile and said: "The preferences of the two ladies didn't take much effort to find out, but the ladies of the Min family couldn't ask why, what they like to eat, what flowers they like, what colors they like, they don't know anything." ”
Xingzhao sat down, put down the needle and thread he was doing in his hand, covered his mouth and smiled: "Ah Yu has known Sister Jirou for some years, and I found out after thinking about it carefully. I really don't know what she likes. Those who send red gold also like it, and those who send jade also like it. I also like to send pearls, and I can't tell anything special. ”
Queen Fang nodded, it can be seen that the lady of the Min family is either an extremely easy-going person, or an extremely restrained person.
The former is easy to get along with, while the latter is superficially easy to get along with.
People who can control their preferences and do not reveal them easily are often more wary of others than they think.
It's okay, the second prince can't hide it, and marrying such a daughter-in-law can be regarded as complementary.
Queen Fang asked Jiang Mingying to carry over the roster of the banquet, looked at it line by line, nodded, and asked the maid to send it down to Xingzhao, seeing that Xingzhao looked carefully, she explained by word and deed: "The banquet should not only invite those who can speak, have long sleeves and are good at dancing, but also invite those with a calm temperament, otherwise it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other, and several people will fight." It's best to invite a few people who know each other, and then invite some who are familiar with them individually, so that the scene will not cool down. ”
Xingzhao held the thin piece of paper in his mouth, listened to Queen Fang's earnest teachings in his ears, and only felt grateful in his heart.
"Treats should also be arranged according to the personality of the host's family, I am a person who can't speak, but my status is high, and ordinary people don't dare to talk to me, for a long time, there will be a stereotypical and boring impression in the hearts of others, and it is not too much wrong to be stereotyped and boring as a queen, but what if the emperor likes a gentle and generous person? Therefore, at this time, I should invite someone who is close to me and good at talking to help me, and if I really feel that I have lost my manners, I will do it one by one afterwards or appease or reward. Empress Fang's tone was steady, this was teaching Xing Zhao to behave in the world.
Xingzhao listened in his ears, looked at the candidates on the paper, and in the last few lines, there were the names of the eldest princess of Yingyi, and several eldest princesses of the queen mother's generation.
Xingzhao was stunned for a moment, the purpose of inviting Yingyi, she knew it in her heart, but she was very curious about the purpose of inviting a few eldest princesses: "Gonggong Lin is so eloquent, the eldest princess of Yingyi, who has been closed for several months, as well as the eldest princess of Wanyang and the eldest princess of Pingyang, have all been invited." ”
Empress Fang smiled, Jiang Mingying pursed her lips and stepped forward to reply: "This is the truth that Queen Jiangcai said, please bring someone with a high position, who is good at talking and likes to talk, to help by your side, so as not to make the scene freeze."
Xingzhao understood in an instant, Empress Dowager Gu was not from a high background, and climbed to this position step by step, the eldest princess of Wanyang is the sister-in-law of the first emperor, and the eldest sister-in-law of Empress Dowager Gu, who has always looked down on Empress Dowager Gu, who was born in a small family, naturally stood on the side of Queen Fang, who was a famous family.
And the eldest princess of Pingyang has a deeper relationship with the Empress Dowager Gu, she is the younger sister of the first emperor, and the Empress Dowager Gu doesn't even care about her own concubine, and throws it to Empress Fang. After taking power, she hastily set up a family affair for the eldest princess of Pingyang, and hurriedly married her off, who knew that the man was incompetent, and he couldn't beat three farts with one slap. The eldest princess of Pingyang boasted that she had a bad life, and in her later years, she developed a mean and loving personality, and attributed all the ups and downs of her life to the Empress Dowager Gu
These two women who are heavy in generation and like to talk are here, and they are afraid that something will not be passed on?
Xingzhao smiled and returned the paper to Jiang Mingying, saying yes again and again.
When I heard Jiang Mingying chattering about whether to use rose incense or agarwood incense in the hall that day, I saw a small palace person trembling against the door frame and poking out a head, and when I saw Xingzhao seeing her, I was overjoyed and beckoned to Xingzhao.
Xingzhao looked at Empress Fang, and Empress Fang raised her hand first to signal Jiang Mingying not to speak. glanced at the palace people. smiled and bowed to Xingzhao: "Let's go out and have a look." It's the maid in the palace of the concubine, I think Huanyi has something to do with you. ”
As soon as Concubine De's words fell that day, Princess Huanyi's post was sent to Xingzhao's hand the next day, and she came and went, although she didn't achieve the same deep affection as Xingming, but it could be regarded as handing over face.
Xingzhao responded with a smile, got up and blessed, and walked out.
Concubine Shu lived in Chonghua Palace. is a very trouble-free person, guarding his two children to live a small life, Queen Fang even recognizes the little maid in the palace of the concubine, which shows that the two have a close relationship.
Xiaogong people walked with their waists in front, thirteen or fourteen years old, their eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown, Xingzhao followed behind and walked along the feet of the red wall and green tiles, after Xingzhao hurt his face, he hid something in his heart, and the stubbornness and pride in his original character were forced out. Hiding in Queen Fang's palace every day, she doesn't come out often.
But the memories of his past life have not faded. Looking around, she also knew that this was not the way to Chonghua Palace!
I was about to stop, but I saw a figure in the long pavilion in front of me, wearing a royal blue straight trim, with a sunken wooden hairpin carved with blue grass in my hair, with the path on my back, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
Xingzhao was full of doubts in his heart, pressed his thoughts, lifted his skirt and bowed his body, and called loudly: "The courtiers greet the six princes!" ”
The sixth prince, Zhou Shen, was startled by the little lady's voice, and then he figured it out, turned around, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wenyang get up." ”
There was a maid on duty in the palace road, and when he heard the sound here, he restrained his movements and stood motionless.
Xingzhao got up, hung her head and didn't speak, she didn't have anything to do with the six princes. No, except for the mother-in-law of the Zheng family who came to make trouble, the time when the sixth prince accompanied the second prince to listen quietly outside the window lattice, they were completely strange.
The little lady deliberately raised her voice, and she didn't know what she was avoiding, and she was afraid that she would not be able to sell her out
The sixth prince frowned and thought nonsense, but he remembered the matter, lowered his voice, and said: "The second brother is not good to come, so let Shen come and say a few words to the county lord of Wenyang" Speaking of this, the steady young man blushed rarely, and stammered and said: "The second brother wants to ask the county lord of Wenyang to take care of the Min family's lady, this is the first time the Min family lady has entered the palace to see him"
At this point, the six princes couldn't go on, and when they thought of the Bo Niangzi incident, the little lady in front of them showed courage and cleverness, and then thought of the speculations and rumors in Dingjing City, and then saw the scar on the little lady's face, took out a box of black lacquer Guangcai small boxes from his sleeve, handed it to Xingzhao, and simply diverted the topic: "The doctor of Huichun Hall is naturally not as good as Tai Hospital, but this pair of gels has been famous for a long time. People in the palace don't believe in things outside, anyway, there are multiple choices, Wenyang County will try it for a few days, if it's good, continue to use it, if it's not good, don't use it. ”
Xingzhao took it in a daze, compared to the great change in the second prince's degree of Min Jirou's past and present life, the sudden overture of the sixth prince made her even more overwhelmed, but she was so blessed that she thought of the trust of the second prince at the beginning, smiled and put the small box in her hand, and blessed her body again: "The sister of the Min family has always been good friends with the courtiers, if the second prince doesn't come to explain, can the courtiers still embarrass Sister Min?" ”
Looking at the embarrassment of the six princes, it is inevitable that a young man is entrusted to tell another woman about his affairs, and he is inevitably a little embarrassed.
"The courtiers are very grateful for the care of the second prince - sometimes the folk things are more reliable and reliable, and the courtiers will definitely use them"
The second prince begged someone to do something, and he knew how to send something, Xingzhao was smiling in his heart.
As a human being in two lives, I feel that the thoughts of the young man and the little lady not only make people smile, but also make people feel beautiful.
The sixth prince lowered his eyelids, the corners of his mouth were smiling, he was noncommittal to Xingzhao's answer, waved his hand, and said: "Lord Wenyang County, go back quickly, so as not to worry the queen." ”
After saying that, he hurried to the west.
Xingzhao held a small box with fine workmanship in his hand, looked at the departing figure of the six princes, and couldn't help but smile, at least Min Jirou's fate has become better than in his previous life, does that mean that other things will take a turn for the better?
