Chapter 588: Return to Beijing
At the beginning of August, the emperor returned to Beijing, because the queen mother was seriously ill, the emperor was afraid that the carriage would go too fast, which would make the queen mother uncomfortable, so he ordered to go slowly, and the trip of one hour was dragged on for more than two hours, and the courtiers praised the emperor's pure filial piety.
The deeds of Princess Xiaogan also spread, and the people who originally criticized the eldest princess began to change their words, it turned out that the eldest princess was concentrating on the Buddha and looking down on life and death, so she would speak coldly about the death of King An.
The queen mother who returned to the Cihe Palace in Beijing, leaned crookedly on the pillow of the green money python, and glanced at Princess Xiaogan indifferently with cloudy eyes, and then moved away to look at the queen.
The queen is smiling and talking to the queen mother about extra-palace affairs, "Now the most talked about in Beijing is the matter of our princess Xiaogan, speaking of which, you have a fate with the eldest sister, you see, if you didn't let the eldest sister move in with your old man before, there would be one less lovely person waiting for you in front of the sickbed at this time!" "
The Queen Mother closed her eyes coldly, as if she didn't want to listen to the queen, but the queen wanted to be interested, as if she wanted to share it with the Queen Mother, and after talking about the eldest princess, she mentioned King An's funeral arrangements, and talked about the disasters of the kings outside.
"Speaking of which, those assassins are really strange, since King An went, they disappeared, parents and officials everywhere want to check, but they have more than enough strength and lack of strength, although the sky rains, but after all, this year's harvest is mistaken, this harvest is really bleak, I don't know how to live this winter!" The queen frowned and said worriedly.
Raising her eyes to see that the Queen Mother still hadn't moved, the Queen paused, and said, "The emperor said that the people are important, and this matter can be investigated slowly, so let them put it aside first. It's just that in this way, the assassins who killed King An will not be able to be arrested before King An enters the ground."
The queen saw that the corners of the queen mother's crooked mouth seemed to be upturned. The queen said in her heart, the queen mother is really happy! She just said that, did the Queen Mother really think that those assassins' actions were secret, and no one could find out?
Suddenly, hearing a sneer from the side, the queen raised her eyes and looked, the eldest princess didn't have time to hide her mocking expression, and looked back at her with a little wolf.
"Big sister, do you have something to say?" The Empress turned a blind eye to her sneer and wolf bèi. A gentle inquiry.
"Nope. Nope." Princess Celestia waved her hand and lowered her head, secretly wondering how careless she was!
"The Queen Mother is unwell. It's inevitable to be restless, it's really hard for the eldest sister to serve the sick by the side of the Queen Mother! The queen reached out and grabbed the fingers of the eldest princess and said softly.
The eldest princess hurriedly got up and saluted, "This is what a daughter should do. The Queen Mother treats her daughter kindly, and her old man is sick. It is really an honor for her daughter to wait in front of her old man's house, how dare she say that it is hard."
The queen's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, it's only been a few days! Celestia has made great strides when she speaks. It seems that even if the Queen Mother is hemiplegic, her ability to care for and discipline people has not been put aside!
"I said that the queen mother will teach, look at our princess Xiaogan. It's only been a few days since she was in front of the Queen Mother, and her little mouth has become smart! "Praise the Queen Mother. praised the eldest princess again, "The palace knows that the eldest princess is smart, and sure enough, when she comes to the queen mother, the whole person is different, or the queen mother will train people."
The queen smiled and patted the queen mother, but the queen mother was too lazy to open her eyes, and the eldest princess said in her heart, thinking how tall the queen was! When I got to the Queen Mother, even if the Queen Mother didn't shake off, didn't I have to bow down and be small?
The Queen Mother didn't open her eyes, so she didn't see the expression of the eldest princess, but the queen and the people waiting around her, as well as Lady Su and others, could see it clearly.
When the eldest princess was by the queen's side, she was really pampered very well, so good that she was extremely simple-minded, and you can know what she thinks by looking at her expression!
Lady Su came up with the medicine and glanced at the eldest princess, but she didn't move, and before she turned her head to look at the queen, the queen had already reached out and took the medicine bowl." Queen mother? The daughter-in-law is waiting for you to take medicine, and before the daughter-in-law came over, the emperor specially explained to the daughter-in-law, to wait for your medicine well, you are sick! The imperial doctor said, take medicine well and rest in peace, although you can't fully recover, but at least your hands and feet can move freely."
The queen mother heard the word emperor, trembling, when the queen fed the spoon of medicine to her lips, she intuitively opened her mouth to drink, she was really afraid of the emperor to serve the disease with his own hands, that bastard will not blow cold before feeding people to take medicine, he will send it to your mouth when he gets up, slightly opened his mouth, he raised his hand, the medicine was poured into his mouth, hot and bitter, so that people swallow it, swallow it is not, it is easy to swallow, and it is easy to swallow.
She really didn't want to relive this experience!
Swallowing the medicine that had become warm, the Queen Mother thought indignantly, before the queen fed the medicine, the reason why she mentioned the emperor was to remind her that if she took Qiao, the emperor would come to serve her in person, but don't blame her for not reminding her in advance.
Neither of these husband and wife is a good thing!
Another mouthful of palatable medicinal juice went down her stomach, and the queen mother scolded the emperor and his wife in her heart, but her mouth was extremely cooperative with Queen Ren's spoonful of medicine.
Seeing this, the eldest princess secretly hated in her heart, this old witch would bully herself, every time she fed her medicine, she just refused to cooperate obediently, the queen fed her medicine, she was honest!
Because the queen mother did not embarrass the queen with Qiao, so a bowl of medicine was quickly fed, the queen got up satisfied, in front of the queen mother, sorted out the big and small affairs in the Cihe Palace, and carefully explained that the palace people wanted to wait for the queen mother, and then said to the eldest princess: "The eldest sister will send the palace out!" Just take this palace to your residence to see, if there is anything missing, we can make up for it immediately."
They have just returned to Beijing and entered the palace, and the eldest princess is with the queen mother, and she has not even seen her own residence! Hearing the queen say this, I thought that it was so good, and I was worried that if I lacked something or something, who would I ask to go to! It was dozing off when someone brought a pillow.
Then ordered the palace people to lead the way, and the group came to the west side of the palace of Cihe, although the Jiaofang hall is the queen's residence, but to live with the queen mother. [,! Compared to it, it's still a little worse, after all, that's the Queen Mother!
But the gorgeous and noble ornaments, decoration, are limited to the main hall of the Cihe Palace, the building and furnishings of the hall can be compared to the hall of the Jiaofang Palace! After all, there is only the Queen Mother living alone in the Cihe Palace, and there is no need to sort out the things that have been uninhabited for a long time.
Although the queen mother allowed the eldest princess to live in the Cihe Palace, but these two side halls have been uninhabited for a long time, and there are really a lot of decay and corruption places. There are a lot of faults that can be found in the work that is driven out, what can be done? There is nothing the craftsman can do! They are not immortals, and they can fix the house to perfection with a wave of their hand.
Not to mention that the queen frowned, even the eldest princess didn't understand anything, and when she saw the situation in this western hall, she couldn't help but darken her face.
The walls are freshly painted, and the smell of new paint is still strong. The belongings were also moved out of the storeroom. The lattice flowers of the window lattices are old, and the setting sun drills through the finely inlaid glass and is cut into a messy and broken pattern. The whole room was very dim.
Light is very important to the room, for example, because of the lack of light, the things that are placed in it. Unless you can shine yourself. I didn't look closely, and I really couldn't tell whether the furnishings in the house were good or bad, expensive or false.
Therefore, the love xù is written directly on the face of the eldest princess. The face was very stinky and walked into the west side hall.
The queen ordered the palace people to light the lamp, and when the lights were bright, the eldest princess looked around the house. The face stinks even more.
The Cihe Palace in the Xishan Palace is naturally not comparable to the Cihe Palace in the stable, when she was moved to the Cihe Palace. I felt that the house couldn't be compared with the east side hall where she lived in the Jiaofang Palace, and I thought that the residence in the capital would be better, at least better than the east side hall of the Jiaofang Palace! I never expected that the gorgeous and magnificent appearance of the Cihe Palace, the matching hall is not as good as the matching hall of the Jiaofang Palace?
"Cihe Palace since the Queen Mother moved in, this thing with the palace has not been inhabited, every year when the meal is repaired, it is inevitable to be negligent, if it is not for the Queen Mother's will to be urgent, can have more time for them to repair, I think it will be much better. Hey, I've wronged you this year, and when I go to Xishan for the summer next year, I'll let people repair it again."
The eldest princess pursed the corners of her mouth in displeasure, and the queen patted her shoulder gently, "This palace knows that the eldest princess is sensible, so she will not be displeased by this, and bear with it first!" "
The eldest princess found that the life when she lived in the Jiaofang Palace in the past was really beautiful!
Although she is the eldest sister, in terms of words and deeds, she does not have the demeanor of the eldest princess, because the queen will only strictly demand the third princess, and will never ask her, the eldest princess, to be a model for her sisters.
But today, she has been pressed again and again by the queen with the word sensible, these two words are like shackles, put on her, and she has to do what the queen wants, otherwise she is not sensible.
Her father gave her the title, and she immediately became ignorant and disobeyed the queen, and the eldest princess pursed her lips, she didn't want to lose a big one because of a small one.
In the past few days, the female officials Yang beside the Queen Mother have come to her and taught her over and over again, to endure, first coax the Queen Mother to soften, and then make her reluctant, so that she can have a chance to marry.
Thinking of the man holding the white horse that day, that figure was so deeply engraved on her heart, she was a princess, couldn't she compete with the granddaughter of a minister? That's a fool known to the world!
How could Du Xiang let his grandson marry a stupid girl as a daughter-in-law? Her poor Du Erlang! How could she be willing to let him be tied up by a stupid girl for the rest of his life!
The queen saw that the eldest princess's peach cheeks were crimson, and her eyes were confused, it was obvious that she was Sichun! This appearance is exactly the same as her biological mother's back then, the queen gritted her teeth secretly, and glanced at the female official next to her, and the female official will leave under the excuse, come out of the corridor, and chat with the familiar palace people, and when the queen wants to leave, she is already waiting in front of the door.
After waiting for the queen to get into the sedan chair, the female official whispered to the queen: "These days, the female official Yang next to the queen mother often comes to chat with the eldest princess."
The queen nodded, "It turned out to be her!" When she entered the palace, the Queen Mother intended to let her wait for the emperor, but the emperor didn't like it, so she stayed by the Queen Mother's side."
Female official Yang looks very similar to Yang Yuanlu, the wife of the prince of Xiangcheng, although Concubine Yang is Yang Yuanlu's sister-in-law, but the two sisters are not as similar as Yang Female Official and Yang Yuanlu!
It's just that although Lady Yang was born similar to Yang Yuanlu, she failed to please the Queen Mother like Yang Yuanlu, probably because the Queen Mother failed to give her to the emperor, so that she had a grudge against the Queen Mother!
"What is the purpose of Lady Yang teaching the eldest princess like this?"
"What other purpose? The Queen Mother was paralyzed, and the imperial doctor said, if the care is good, that's it, what if the care is not good? Once the Queen Mother goes west, can these palace people still stay in Cihe Palace?"
The old people used by the Queen Mother, it is inappropriate for them to wait for the master in the palace again, "So Lady Yang wants to take advantage of the eldest princess to fight for her future?"
"Probably! If the eldest princess really succeeds, it is better to take her out with her, pinch the eldest princess, and hook up with the colt than to be trapped by the queen mother's side and go to her old man's wake in the future, right?" The queen directly broke Lady Yang's calculations.
"Even if the queen mother feels sorry for the eldest princess, she won't refute the emperor's golden words, right?"
The queen shook her head, "The emperor was angry that day, and when the days go by, it's hard to say whether he will be soft-hearted, the eldest princess is his daughter after all." (To be continued)
