Chapter 22
22
Zhou Baolu is not familiar with the three older princes at all, but he has met two or three times from afar, and he can't see a good thing, and such an important matter, Zhou Baolu is at such an age, and she is the daughter of the boudoir, and she has no part in speaking.
But the eldest brother wanted to come to a place to speak, Zhou Baolu pondered in his heart, and turned around to tell the eldest brother these words.
Zhou Baolu said a few words to the little princess, seeing that this occasion was really an eyesore, the two of them knew the rules of the Tao and had eyes, so they didn't say more, and quietly walked back to the eldest princess Jinghe.
The ladies of each family are in the palace, and there is also a seat, and the daughters-in-law are standing next to the ancestors of each family, Zhou Baolu just sat down and took the tea handed by the palace maid, and before he had time to drink it, he heard a commotion behind him, some people screamed, and some people gasped like toothaches, and suddenly there was chaos.
Because of the high rank of the eldest princess Jinghe, the seat she naturally sits on, that is, the eldest princess of Pingning, Concubine Qing is sitting in the eldest princess of Jinghe, but it is not far away, Zhou Baolu looked back, Concubine Qing stood up at this time, her face was pale, her thin lips were pursed, and beside her, a young woman in palace clothes fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.
What's going on?
It was already a mess here, Zhou Baolu stood up and walked two steps away, she was a little surprised that Concubine Qing did not immediately order someone to carry the fainted palace concubine to the side hall, but she was allowed to fall there, someone was messing around to pass the imperial doctor, and everyone was naturally watching.
This surprise made Zhou Baolu pay extra attention, and she noticed that Concubine Qing was just standing in place and did not walk over.
Although everyone is watching, the scene is not chaotic, most of the people are still sitting or standing in place, but everyone turned their heads to look at the past, and it is the palace maids and deacons who are really moving around.
No one stood on the steps like Zhou Baolu, and took a few steps back, and the whole scene she saw in her eyes was particularly distinct, what she saw was that the people walking around were gathered from all around to the place where the people fell, so when someone walked in the opposite direction, it was very obvious to her.
A small palace maid gently walked around the crowd and approached a young woman from behind.
Gathered near the main seat of Deqing Palace is the third generation of princesses of the royal family, this person, Zhou Baolu is not familiar with this person, but after thinking about it carefully, she still remembered, this is the eldest princess, the half-sister of the eldest prince, who is fifteen years old this year and has not yet been married.
The eldest princess was also turning her head to look at that side, her seat was not far from the place where the palace concubine fell, and even her palace maid's attention was in that direction.
The little palace maid walked behind the eldest princess, took out something from her sleeve, and tied it to the eldest princess's body, her movements were very light and hidden, if it weren't for Zhou Baolu's angle, it looked as if she was just standing behind her.
The big dresses are all complicated, and the eldest princess doesn't notice it.
The little palace maid quickly walked away, and Zhou Baolu saw her bow her head, hurriedly bypassing a few pillars, and disappeared.
At this time, she heard Concubine Qing speak: "What's the mess, first carry Wei Meiren to the side hall, and wait for the imperial doctor to come to ask for a pulse, there are so many masters here, can the imperial doctor come in?" ”
Only when Concubine Qing spoke, did she dare to carry people away.
It seemed like it was just a small accident, and the person carried it away, still smiling and laughing, as if nothing had happened.
This matter has nothing to do with Zhou Baolu, but Zhou Baolu remembered what the little county lord said to her before, she groaned slightly, walked over and pulled the little county lord, and said a word in her ear.
The little county lord's face remained unchanged, he only nodded, and sat back down.
After a while, Zhou Baolu took two steps forward, smiled and said hello to her second aunt, and pulled the second aunt's daughter Xiao Dan to speak.
By the time she had finished greeting, the little county lord had returned to his seat.
Princess Celestia was still sitting there, smiling and talking, still as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Baolu was actually confused, she only knew that she had experienced a battle that had not yet surfaced.
Until the time of the banquet, there was still no movement in this matter, only I heard that Wei Meiren was pregnant, and she got up early to serve Concubine Qi, and the water and rice did not enter, so she fainted.
The beauty has a low status, and she is not a master, she can only live in the side hall with the master who has the master's position, and she must also make rules to serve the master.
Concubine Qi is from the Guo family in southern Fujian, and is the daughter of the Guo family's long house, and has three princes and four princes. This time for the New Year's celebration, Wei Meiren fainted in public, and Concubine Qi's face was of course extremely ugly.
Seeing that Concubine Qing did not immediately order someone to carry her out, she watched coldly for a moment, so that everyone watched the excitement for a while before speaking, and Concubine Qi's face became even more ugly.
This kind of trick is not new, how many mansions have seen it, and those present are all those who have fought in various battles for many years, who is not like a mirror in their hearts? Someone whispered: "This Wei beauty is quite bold." ”
"Whoever is pregnant with a dragon seed will have great courage."
"I look, Concubine Qi didn't expect her to have such courage."
"In my opinion, someone has to support you."
Several people nodded, Concubine Qing did it so obviously, almost handing Concubine Qi a hat of the negligent dragon seed to Concubine Qi, it can be seen that Concubine Qing is now the dominant in the harem.
It's a bit unscrupulous.
These discussions are not small, even Zhou Baolu can hear them, and the palace maids who want to serve in this palace can also hear them, but if they dare to say such things, they are naturally not afraid of being heard by Concubine Qing.
These princesses and princesses sitting here, one has more face than the other, and they can't sit in front of them even if they are a little worse, don't talk about Concubine Qing now, even if the second prince is made the crown prince, as long as she is not the queen or the queen mother for a day, these dozen ladies in front of her will not be afraid of her.
After leaving the banquet for a while, Zhou Baolu saw the eldest princess looking around, so she walked over with a smile, walked up to the eldest princess Jinghe and said with a smile: "Aunt and grandmother, Xiaolu said that she wanted to see my little jade lion. ”
Although the eldest princess Jinghe was a little surprised, there was no leakage on her face, and she just responded with a smile.
Zhou Baolu was silent.
The eldest princess spoke as if she was a close friend, but Zhou Baolu understood very well in her heart, from childhood to now, the number of times she has met with the eldest princess is enough to count on one hand, and she has said a total of one thing.
The two went out of the back door of Deqing Palace, and the eldest princess immediately took Zhou Baolu's arm affectionately.
Zhou Baolu was really surprised, how familiar the eldest princess is!
The eldest princess dragged Zhou Baolu to look at the door and said, "Wait a minute, Xiaorou." ”
The little princess came out slowly, and the eldest princess said: "Xiao Rou said that you are very interesting and powerful, I watched it today, and sure enough, how old are you this year?" ”
Zhou Baolu said honestly: "Thirteen." ”
Celestia looked at her: "It looks about the same, I'm fifteen!" I'm a year older than Xiaorou. ”
But you really don't look like it, Zhou Baolu said in her heart, the eldest princess is a girl with slender eyebrows and eyes, she looks quite delicate, and she is quite pampered when she hears it, but she has her capital, and the eldest princess is a princess, and she is now the only one in the palace. No one can compare to her.
The eldest princess said distressedly: "You play with Xiao Rou, right?" How good is that...... The rules in the palace are heavy, and I don't stand or sit in detention all day long, and I can't go back to the palace twice a year, unlike you who play together every day. Talk and laugh, how happy, I'm the only one in the palace......"
This self-acquaintance, has she been a friend for many years? But fortunately, the rules in the palace are heavy, or not, this eldest princess will have to become an ancestor, she has a high status, a lively temperament, and has never heard of the word loss in her life, who provoked her, by what position, whether she is favored or not, she can slap her head and fan it, even if the saint is annoyed, she can't beat the princess, nothing more than copying books and grounding, beating the board of disciplining grandma, she finished copying the book, banning feet, and turned around to find the saint, and said distressedly: "I didn't mean to beat her, it sounds like a ghost caught my hand, If you don't listen to the call, you will go out. ”
It's been three or four times like this, everyone is afraid of this two hundred and five princesses, and the set of unspoken rules in the Zhilu Dao Palace is useless to her, no matter how exquisite you do, you can't help but slap it.
This is another identity that cannot be moved, there is no queen in the palace, and the princess is the first one, when it comes to etiquette, Concubine Qing can't stand her etiquette.
However, the princess of this dynasty has never been a good stubble, and several generations of aunts and grandmothers have a glorious record, and the eldest princess of Pingning led the princess's palace guards to hit the princess's mansion, that is, ten years ago.
The eldest princess nagged until the little county lord finally came out, and she went to hold the little county lord's arm with her empty hand: "Why did it take a long time to come out, and my feet were numb." ”
The little county lord said: "Then you go over first, you don't have to be in the eyesore here, it's not that I can't find it, my mother's temperament you know the way, seeing the black-eyed chicken fighting in the palace today, I'm afraid that I'll be naughty, and tell the old man for a long time." ”
"Follow me for what I'm afraid of."
"It's just that I'm naughty with you!" The little county lord glared.
The eldest princess immediately softened: "Okay, let's go, go to my palace for tea, I have a lot to say to you, I'm about to suffocate to death, you don't know what to do, my brother ......"
I swallowed this sentence halfway, in the end the place is not right, the eldest princess saw the eyes of the little princess, looked back again, held one in one hand, and hurriedly walked out.
Zhou Baolu just laughed and didn't speak, this eldest princess is really unique, her situation is not easy, her mother died early, no one supported her, and the favorite concubine in the palace is in power, it stands to reason that she should be a gloomy or cautious or deep character, but she is so innocent and lively, and she can still live on a rampage in this palace and be at ease.
What an outlier.
However, seeing her talking to the little county lord, she had an unexpectedly good temper with the person she trusted to befriend, and she didn't have the slightest fight, so she was very easy to get along with.
In the face of such a girl like clear water, Zhou Baolu is also very willing to get close.
