Chapter 204
"My sister is really Bingxue smart." The eldest princess took a sip of tea, and then said: "The child was brought back, but I am always unsteady in my heart. If that Changping is going to have a child in the future, how can it be good? ”
Mrs. Zhenguo said: "Since she promised to marry into the He family, there is no reason to make trouble again." What's more, the He family is far away in Shandong, and she has no chance to return to the capital. ”
The eldest princess said: "Having said that, after all, this child was raised by me privately, although I am married, I don't have to get the approval of my father and queen, but after all, people will say that the origin of this child is unknown." ”
Mrs. Zhenguo and Xia Qingyun glanced at each other, and Xia Qingyun asked with a smile: "Does the princess want my mother to go and talk to the queen and find a way for this child?" ”
The eldest princess nodded and said: "There are many concubines in the palace, and the family is also considered to be a relative of the emperor, if you can find someone to live and say that you are raised from there, when this child grows up, her life experience will not be criticized, and she is not afraid that the lord of Changping will come to find the account in the future." I'm going to beg the queen alone, I'm afraid"
Mrs. Zhenguo smiled and said, "I know that since the princess has opened her mouth, I have no reason to excuse myself. I don't know when the princess plans to enter the palace, so I will go with her. ”
The eldest princess hesitated for a moment and said, "Since it came out today, you might as well take it and let the old ancestor take a look." ”
Mrs. Zhenguo nodded and said, "It's okay, then you go first, I'll go after I change my clothes, let's go before and after, and don't let the queen and the queen mother be suspicious." ”
Sending off the eldest princess, Mrs. Zhenguo went back to the room to change her clothes, Xia Qingyun flashed into the treasure pavilion, took two tea tubes of red sandalwood, two tea tubes of rosewood, and each loaded half a catty of the best white peony and white silver needle in the Ming Dynasty. Let Qingju fill two more food boxes. Inside was the kidney bean cake and bean paste milk roll she made yesterday.
remembered that Mrs. Zhenguo mentioned that the Queen Mother liked camellias, and instructed Qingmei to go to Daqing Mountain to transplant two pots of rare varieties. They took it together and went to Mrs. Zhenguo's room.
Mrs. Zhenguo looked at it and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. It's just that the dim sum you make can't be made in the palace, and the queen mother likes it the most. There are also these two pots of camellias, and the Queen Mother must be happy to see them. However, you should also bring two pots to the queen, and let Chunxiu bring the eighteen bachelors and golden flower tea you sent a few days ago. ”
Xia Qingyun patted his head, "Look at me, they are all prepared with two things, why did you forget the camellia." The mother will give it to the queen first, anyway, there is something in the treasure pavilion. I'll ask Qingmei to move two more to bring to my mother. ”
Cining Palace.
Mama took the things in Chunxiu's hand, and said to Mrs. Zhenguo with a smile: "The Queen Mother was still talking about Mrs. just now, but Mrs. Coincidentally came." ”
Mrs. Zhenguo walked into the house with Mama and saw that the Queen Mother was holding Shan'er in her arms, laughing with the eldest princess, and not seeing the baby in swaddling clothes.
Giving the Queen Mother a gift, Mrs. Zhenguo said: "Today, the Taiping County Lord made some fresh snacks, and got a few pots of camellia from the south, and asked me to send them to the Queen Mother and the Queen." ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "Taiping, this girl hasn't been here for a while." Why don't you bring her along? The mourning family misses her a lot. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo sat down at the bottom and replied: "She wanted to come, but she was stumped by the matter of the teahouse. ”
Mama served the dim sum in the food box on a jade plate, and the Queen Mother picked up a piece of bean paste milk roll. When I bite into it gently, the rich milky aroma melts in my mouth, and the sweetness of the bean paste is added. It's delicious.
The Queen Mother smiled: "The dim sum in the palace is exquisite, but it is not as delicious as the one made by the Taiping County Lord." Last time she gave the recipe for the cream cake. But I don't eat as delicious as she makes herself. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo smiled: "It's not easy, if the Queen Mother likes it." I asked her to do it and send it to the sky. ”
"Yo, these pots of camellia are rare." The Queen Mother saw Mama coming in with a flower pot, and beckoned Mama to put the camellia on the kang table in front of her to watch carefully.
The eldest princess took the opportunity to glance at Mrs. Zhenguo, and Mrs. Zhenguo beckoned to Shan'er: "Shan'er, come here, let me see if I have grown taller again." ”
Shan'er obediently ran over and snuggled into Mrs. Zhenguo's arms.
The Queen Mother admired it for a moment and said with a smile: "The Lord of Taiping really has a heart. My favorite camellia, this one I recognize, called Eighteen Bachelors. It bloomed like a marigold, but it was the first time I had seen it. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo replied with a smile: "Taiping said that it is called Jinhua tea, and it is also a rare and rare variety, so I sent it to the Queen Mother for tasting." ”
She looked down at Shan'er again and said with a smile: "Shan'er is also six years old this year, why don't the eldest princess have another one, so as not to make Shan'er alone." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at the eldest princess with a smile, and the eldest princess sighed lightly: "Madam, why don't I want to have another one." But the body is not angry. No, I'm talking to the colt about raising a younger brother for Shan'er, and I'll bring it together today for the ancestors to see. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo said happily: "That's good, where is the child, let me see it too?" ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "I let the nurse take it to feed just now." He instructed Mama to say, "Go and see, if you are full, bring it to Mrs. Zhenguo to see." ”
Mama responded, and after a while, she walked in with her swaddling clothes and handed it over to Mrs. Zhenguo.
Shan'er stood on tiptoe beside her, stretched out her little fingers, and gently touched the baby's face.
Mrs. Zhenguo looked at it for a while, then raised her head and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, looking at the child's handsome eyebrows, he is actually three points similar to the eldest princess." ”
This is not her exaggeration, the eldest princess and the county lord of Changping are originally cousins, so they are naturally somewhat similar.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "That's what I said." The child was held from the village village, and he was a posthumous child, and the poor child's mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to him, and she went only to see the child. It is also Changping who is merciful, thinking of bringing it over to raise. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo said: "Since the eldest princess has nothing to do for so many years, Shan'er is going to marry when she grows up, and there are few people to take care of her when she has no children under her knees, so it is better to adopt it, what does the Queen Mother think?" ”
The Queen Mother said: "As long as the eldest princess and the concubine are willing, I have no opinion." ”
The eldest princess said at the right time: "Ancestor Xie is enlightened. However, this child was born poor, and even if he was adopted in the princess's mansion, he would inevitably be despised when he grew up in the future. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo also chimed in: "What the eldest princess said is reasonable. ”
The Queen Mother frowned and thought for a while, and instructed her grandmother: "Go to the queen's palace to have a look, if the emperor is not there, say that I will invite the queen to have lunch together." ”
When Mama went out, the Queen Mother said: "If the child's parents are here, this matter is not easy to do." However, since he is an orphan, let the queen find a reliable concubine in the palace, saying that if she brought it from her mother's family and passed it on to the eldest princess, it will be over. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo was overjoyed, and she didn't think that she didn't have to say it herself, so the Queen Mother came up with this idea first, and nodded immediately: "It's still the Queen Mother who thinks thoughtfully, so that the eldest princess will have both children under her knees." ”
The eldest princess also got up to salute the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother smiled: "You child is usually unhappy, think about it, you know it's for the sake of the heir." When the queen comes, she won't embarrass you. ”
Sure enough, when the queen heard this, although she was a little surprised, she thought that the eldest princess had been married after all, and she had not given birth for many years, even if she maintained a son, it would not affect the royal dignity, so she readily agreed.
