Chapter 171: Calling the Shots
"Niangniang, the eldest princess of Jianing has come to see you." The chamberlain whispered.
The queen was a little surprised, "Isn't the eldest princess sick?" I was about to send someone over to see why they came to see me," he said, looking at the female officer, "let the eldest princess come and talk to the palace." ”
The female officer answered and went out.
The glass curtain was lifted, and the eldest princess of Jianing walked in and saluted.
The queen smiled and said: "In the morning, the palace also talked about the eldest princess, but I didn't expect to see it." ”
Although the eldest princess of Jianing looked very haggard with powder on her face, the whole person was hidden in a wide gown, as if a gust of wind was about to blow it down.
"Why don't you keep it in the house?" The queen had concern and resentment on her face.
The eldest princess of Jianing said with a smile: "I have been sick for a few days, and I finally got better, so I wanted to come and see Niangniang." ”
The queen looked at the eldest princess Jianing carefully, "There are a lot of medicines rewarded by the emperor here in this palace, I will bring you some back in a while, although the illness is cured, the body needs to be raised." ”
The eldest princess of Jianing responded, took out the purse from her arms and handed it to the queen, "Niangniang likes the purse worn by the minister, so the minister's sister asked her to make another one for the mother." ”
The female official took the purse and put it in the queen's hand, the queen held it in her hand and smiled and talked to the eldest princess of Jianing, "Concubine Shun's illness is not yet cured, the former palace let people go to see it, and she has a mouth of bubbles, and she has a terrible headache, saying that it is a fever, and she has taken a lot of medicine, why is it not good." ”
The eldest princess of Jianing said: "Fever is also difficult to treat. ”
The queen nodded, took a sip of tea. "You're getting better quickly."
The eldest princess of Jianing said with a smile: "It's a folk recipe, I didn't expect it to be really good after eating it a few times, and I still think about it when I enter the palace this time." If Concubine Shun's illness is not good, it is better to bring the person who treated the courtier's sister into the palace to show Concubine Shun. ”
It would be great if the folk prescription could cure the disease.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I can't put my illness off until next year.
The queen said: "This palace doesn't have the spirit to care about the affairs of the palace, you go and ask Concubine Hui and let Concubine Hui arrange the time," she said and looked at the eldest princess of Jianing, "Is that person reliable?" ”
The eldest princess of Jianing laughed. "The doctor is a young lady in the cabinet, who learned the medical skills of the He family, and the He family is famous for treating fever. Dr. He of Tai Hospital also went to the He family to study when he was young.
Miss in the Cabinet.
The queen suddenly remembered Miss Yao Qi, "Isn't that Miss Yao Qi?" ”
The eldest princess of Jianing was stunned, "No, it's a young lady of the Jiang family." ”
Not the same person. but they will all heal. The queen said: "Now the young ladies in the cabinet are also unusual, I don't know where I learned the skills, think about the time of the palace, that is, learn to play chess and female red, I don't know anything else." ”
The eldest princess of Jianing lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt, "The courtier sister has learned a lot of things, all of which she learned after getting married." In a few days, maybe I will learn embroidery from the embroidery lady at home......"
As he spoke, his eyes were slightly deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he coughed.
The queen looked at the frail eldest princess Jianing. Thinking of the situation when she first saw the eldest princess, at that time the eldest princess of Jianing had not yet married, her red cheeks, her eyes were clear, and the whole person was like a hibiscus flower that was about to bloom.
The eldest princess of Jianing supported the eldest princess's mansion alone, and she didn't know how many days and nights had passed.
The queen couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Poor eldest princess is so young, how many years will she have to survive.
She watched the eldest princess get more and more emaciated.
The eldest princess of Jianing was silent for a moment, raised her head, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, "Niangniang is blessed, and the courtier's sister enters the palace to get a touch of Niangniang's blessing." ”
"What's going on?" The queen put down the stove in her hand and looked down.
The eldest princess of Jianing was silent.
The queen looked at the female officer next to her, and the female official immediately retreated.
"Come here," the queen held out her hand to the eldest princess of Jianing, "tell me about it." After she married to the royal family, she was pregnant with a child in less than two months, at that time the eldest princess of Jianing served her around the front and back, at that time the emperor had not yet decided to make the emperor or the king as the heir, but she was too impatient, eager to give birth to an heir for the emperor to please the emperor, but she did not expect to have a miscarriage, she was not in good health after the miscarriage, and the eldest princess of Jianing took care of her.
So she likes this royal sister very much in her heart.
"Talk to Hongu." The queen said softly, "What else can't you say in front of this palace." ”
The eldest princess of Jianing clutched the handkerchief in her hand, as if she was about to tear the handkerchief to pieces.
"Queen Mother," Princess Jianing's tears fell on the yellow satin mattress, "Is it possible that the courtier sister will be like this in her life?" ”
The queen was stunned, she didn't expect Princess Jianing to say such a thing.
In the past, the emperor wanted the eldest princess of Jianing to remarry, but the eldest princess of Jianing did not agree, and now ......
"No," the queen reassured the eldest princess, "take your time...... It's always okay, the emperor said here in the palace a few days ago, the most reassuring thing is you, you are outside with a princess's mansion, how hard it is The emperor knows how hard it is, otherwise...... This palace told the emperor to choose a handsome person and let you remarry. ”
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jianing raised her head, but quickly frowned in fear, "Niangniang, my sister doesn't dare to ......"
The queen whispered, "Do you have anyone in your heart?" ”
A flush suddenly flashed on the face of the eldest princess of Jianing, but she quickly covered it up, "No...... There is no ......"
Looking at the appearance of the eldest princess of Jianing, the queen mother nodded, "This palace knows, this palace will make decisions for you......"
After talking for a while, the eldest prince of Jianing mainly went to see Concubine Shun, and took someone out of the main hall with thanks.
The queen kept her eyes calm, "The eldest princess doesn't seem to be the same as before these days. ”
The female officer followed the chin head, "It seems that she doesn't like to smile even more." ”
The emperor now only has one daughter left alive, and the emperor likes this sister again, the queen has always taken the matter of the eldest princess of Jianing to heart, and she used to look at the eldest princess was good, so she didn't ask much, and now when she sees the situation of the eldest princess, she can't just ignore it.
……
Wanning explained the affairs of the family and went to the Shen family in a car.
The two families are close, and it is much easier to come and go, and now she is doing business with the Shen family, even if someone stops her, she can go back generously.
Shen came over to pick up Wan Ning and said with a smile: "I heard that the family has let you take care of it now?" ”
Wan Ning nodded.
Shen's hand couldn't help but tighten a little, "It's finally come to this day." She also thought that as long as the Zhang family was there, Wanning would never be able to come out.
"Is Zhang really sick?" Mrs. Shen Si also wanted to know.
Not much is known about Zhang's affairs outside, and Wan Ning is also up to the point.
Shen Shi was a little surprised when he heard this, "How can your fifth uncle ignore the number of courtesies." ”
One is a person who is studying in Guozijian, and the other is from a noble family, who can do such a thing without knowing etiquette, even if the fifth uncle uses the eldest princess of Jianing to cover up the past, he also has a big pimple with his father, so the Zhang family will fall ill.
After Zhang's illness, his father handed over the family affairs to her, not because he really knew that she was capable, but because he was angry with Zhang.
Wan Ning went to read the books that Brother Kun had recently studied, and Brother Kun learned very quickly, and every book was turned many times, and the annotations were also written all over the books.
Mrs. Shen Si smiled and said, "Brother Kun begged your uncle to buy a horse." ”
Unexpectedly, Brother Kun really learned to be interested in following Pei Mingzhao.
After talking for a while, Shen went to the small kitchen to make snacks, Wan Ning also followed, watching Shen busy in the small kitchen, Wan Ning felt indescribably warm in her heart.
When she was a child and wanted to have a snack, her mother was so busy.
There was a box of dim sum, all of which she loved to eat, and Shen handed it to Tong's mother and told Tong's mother, "Don't let Miss eat more." ”
She likes to eat sweets, and the snacks made by her mother are much sweeter than those bought outside, but she can't eat more, otherwise she will have an uncomfortable appetite.
The cook smiled and said, "The rest of the slaves will be made early tomorrow morning." ”
Shen said: "It's better to wait for me to come over and do it, just hurry up and do it when the sixth master goes to Mr. Yang." ”
The cook nodded.
Following Shen out of the small kitchen, Wan Ning said, "Mr. Yang is willing to eat the snacks we sent?" ”
Shen nodded, "At first, I asked Brother Kun to take it back, but then I thought that the cook didn't do a good job, so I made it myself and asked Brother Kun to send it, but I didn't expect Mr. Yang to accept it." ”
"Tomorrow, I will go to Mr. Yang with Brother Kun," Wan Ning said, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, my uncle must have sent a lot of things, and I also want to do my best to send a gift." ”
"Go," Shen said, "Your uncle is worried that no one will go with him to Mr. Yang's New Year's gift, Mr. Yang Jing has a bad temper, don't talk too much, especially not mention the affairs of Yangzhou, lest he feel uncomfortable." ”
Wan Ning couldn't help but be stunned, how could her mother know that Mr. Yang Jing didn't like to mention Yangzhou.
Seeing Wan Ning's puzzled gaze, Shen smiled and said, "I also heard some rumors in Yangzhou. ”
It turned out that my mother had known Mr. Yang Jing for a long time.
……
Early the next morning, Wan Ning went with Brother Kun to the courtyard where Mr. Yang Jing lived.
The boy in Tsing Yi came over to open the door, and Kun Ge walked in in an orderly manner.
Before Wan Ning could speak, the little boy in Tsing Yi said in a low voice: "Mr. is not happy today, Miss Yao Qi should come back another day!" ”
I don't know why.
Wan Ning raised her eyes and saw a person kneeling in the courtyard.
Then Mr. Yang Jing's voice came, "Go back quickly, I can't stand your kneeling, who are you?" I got an official position in Jinyiwei, and I was just a grass people. ”
Brother Kun turned his head to look at Wan Ning, Wan Ning nodded, Brother Kun walked lightly to the hall, stood at the door and didn't dare to look at the people in the courtyard, just said in a low voice: "Sir, the student is here." ”
"Miss," said Mother Tong, "or we will go back first, today...... Not so good! ”
