Chapter Seventy-Nine: Joy
Concubine Jiang's mouth became more and more powerful, she thought that Concubine Ling would be crowned a concubine this time, but she didn't expect to be on an equal footing with herself, and she couldn't help but say something sarcastic, Concubine Ling was so suffocated that she almost didn't take a breath.
"Where is there any vinegar jar in this palace? It's just a matter of nothing, how can Concubine Jiang's sister think too much, worry so much about the child every day, I can't wait to take the stars in the sky off for your son, such a treasure, will I have to live in Concubine Jiang's palace if I start a family in the future?"
"Poof."
These words caused many concubines to laugh, and even Hua Ying was a little funny, but for the sake of Concubine Ling's face, she could only hold back and keep quiet, the eldest brother was indeed a little dependent on his mother, and the emperor was afraid that he didn't like it.
"When the time comes, Concubine Jiang will just give the eldest brother good food and drink, but I don't know who can become Concubine Jiang's daughter-in-law, and I don't have to compete with the concubine for favor, but I should compete for favor with you, the husband's mother."
When this debate was obviously not over, seeing that Concubine Ling couldn't stop the more she talked, fortunately, the queen still didn't forget her duty, and stopped when it was white-hot: "Big brother should get married in two years, what kind of satisfactory candidate does Concubine Jiang have?" You can ask the emperor to marry the eldest brother first, and Concubine Jiang can just enjoy the blessings. ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine is choosing, and the concubine wants to find a suitable daughter for the eldest brother." Hearing the queen's question, Concubine Jiang put on a look of not caring about Concubine Ling, and replied instead, in her mind, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and the wife she marries must have a good family.
The queen smiled and nodded: "Yes, the most important thing is to be the right person, and to be a demure and gentle one." "It's just that Concubine Jiang doesn't look at what kind of family she is from, even if the eldest brother is the eldest son, she can't compare to her third elder brother.
Concubine Ling rolled her eyes and didn't speak again, after all, the queen gave her the stairs, she didn't need to look for it anymore, she was actually worried that she didn't have a son and a half daughter, and she saw that other people's children were going to start a family.
This farce finally stopped, Hua Ying walked out of the door of Kunning Palace, thinking about going to the Imperial Garden, and the noble man behind him also said that he wanted to accompany Hua Ying, and the two walked together.
"Sister, look, the willow trees over there have all sprouted, and they are about to grow new branches."
Hua Ying hadn't observed much before the nobles, and just now she felt that there was still no life in the garden, and when she heard her say this, she took a closer look: "That's right, although it is not conspicuous, it does grow young shoots, and it seems that this spring is coming soon." ”
I recently taught Yinze, I was busy coming and going, I haven't relaxed for a long time, and now my mentality is a lot more mature.
"Sister, there are few plants in the palace to welcome spring, why don't we let the flower house find seeds and plant them ourselves?" Shun Guiren touched the hanging buds.
"The little master is getting more and more disagreeable, how can you, a little master in the palace, do what the flower house slave does with your own hands? What's more, Yun Concubine Niangniang, her body is expensive, don't mess around. Zhuhe listened to her words, and was frightened and quickly grabbed the noble Shun, there is such a little master, it is also bothering.
"If you want to, then let someone plant it for you, and you can just watch from the side." Hua Ying smiled and said: "It's really not good, if you water it every day, you should treat it as if you raised it yourself." ”
"That's the only way to go, Yiran manages me every day, isn't it just raising a flower, and it's like this." Shun Guiren pouted, but still held Hua Ying affectionately: "Let's go, sister, go and sit in my palace." ”
"Okay." Hua Ying readily agreed.
"Didn't you go to talk to the Queen Mother two days ago? How about it, the Queen Mother didn't embarrass you. Since the emperor said that she and Shun Guiren should go to see the Queen Mother more, she also told Shun Guiren that she could go to see her old man more when she had nothing to do, and Hua Ying also occasionally went to ask for peace.
"No, the Queen Mother is very good, she will always prepare my favorite food for me." Shun Guidao: "She also mentioned you, let me tell you to bring five more elder brothers to see her, saying that there is a chance to give birth to two more elder brothers." ”
Hua Ying was stunned: "This is not your girl's nonsense, right?" Did the Queen Mother really say that?"
"No matter how nonsense I do, I won't make up what the Queen Mother said at will!" The two of you come and go, talk and laugh together, but they are also happy.
went to the palace of the Shun nobles and sat for a while, lunch time was almost up, Hua Ying was just about to go back, but Li Quan came, and wiped a handful of sweat, it seemed that he was in a hurry to find Hua Ying.
"The slave asks for peace to Yun Concubine Niangniang, Yun Concubine Niangniang is auspicious, and Shun nobles are auspicious."
"My father-in-law is exempt, but what's the matter with the emperor?"
"Hey, the emperor is waiting in your palace, and suddenly he said that he wanted to have lunch with you, and he went without notice, but I didn't expect you to be there, so I asked the slave to invite."
"The emperor always loves this, and never lets people pass it on, now it's okay, my sister is not here." Shun Guiren quipped, Li Quan laughed twice, and this little master also dared to say it.
"In that case, my sister should go back quickly, and be careful on the way."
"Okay, then I'll go first, and you can eat early." Qingxu helped Hua Ying get up and walked out the door.
"Hui Xin, you go to the flower room, hurry up and get some Spring Festival and send it to the Shun Guiren Palace." Hui Xin responded.
"Niangniang is so good to Shun nobles." Qingxu said.
"It's hard to have a confidant in the palace, and the noble people enter the palace with me, and they have the love of childhood, and they can rest assured more than others." Hua Ying and Jing Concubine Xiu Yu Changzai also have a little affection, in the end there is no 100% mutual trust, Shun noble people are realistic, and they also like to live in peace, after these two years, their hearts have also stabilized a lot, they know how to treat people and things, and their personalities are also likable.
Thinking of this, Hua Ying's eyes darkened a little, fortunately, although Xia Ming has the emperor's favor now, it is far from the point of being favored, and now it is estimated that there is no hand to reach out to her.
"The emperor has eaten turtles now?" As soon as Hua Ying entered the house, she saw the emperor sitting at the table waiting.
"Where?"
"Stay with the nobles, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, isn't the emperor hungry? Let's pass the meal. Hua Ying went to the inner room to look at Yinze.
The emperor smiled: "Your daughter's family has something to talk about." ”
"The emperor can also let the concubine be your interpreter flower, and the concubine doesn't mind." The small kitchen served the dishes that had just been prepared one by one, and Hua Ying said with a smile.
"With your words, I feel a lot of comfort in my heart."
"The emperor said this, but what is uncomfortable in the court? The concubines knew that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so they could only let the emperor fill his stomach first before he had the strength to deal with it. With that, Hua Ying scooped a bowl of shrimp and seafood porridge for the emperor.
"You're sweet." The emperor just thought about whether to talk about what he talked about with the minister in the study today, but he didn't expect her to be so uninterested, not like other women in the harem, who wanted to find out something.
"It's nothing more than those ministers, talking to me about some harem matters, it's really a lot of care." One will say that Concubine Ling should be named a concubine, and then he will say that he should be drafted again, and he can't favor one person, he has been pampered by a woman for so many years, but every time he pampers a concubine for a few days, some people can't get used to it.
Seeing that he spoke first, Hua Ying didn't continue to ask specifically, and continued to help him pick up the dishes: "Actually, the emperor who has a reason also knows the truth, let alone ignore it if there is no reason, it's just that many ministers are old people from the previous dynasty, and the emperor should be polite." ”
Hua Ying also noticed that the emperor seemed to like to eat some spicy meals when he came to himself these days, and he was completely uninterested in such dishes before, could it really be that his eating habits were changed by his spicy lotus root slices? This was Hua Ying's unexpected joy.
After eating, the emperor still had no intention of leaving, but was in the same room with Hua Ying, drinking the greasy flower tea, while looking at Hua Ying's favorite words on weekdays, these words were still bought by her Xiaofuzi, there are a lot of love and love storylines in it, seeing the emperor look at it so seriously, Hua Ying felt a little ashamed.
"Isn't the emperor busy with government affairs today? Why are you still reading the script here with the concubine?" Hua Ying got up and walked to the emperor, wanting to take the notebook in his hand, but was avoided by the emperor.
"Ying'er actually drove me away? Then I won't give you a gift. The emperor knew that this girl was shy, and pretended to turn another page of the book, while pretending to be careless.
Hua Ying stretched out her hand and paused: "What gift?" Last time, Hua Ying was angry with the emperor, but it was just fun, the emperor said that he would apologize to herself, but she forgot about this stubble.
"I won't tell you." The emperor relished: "Look at this down-and-out scholar, by chance, he actually had a relationship with the daughter of a rich family, and finally after he won the fame, he abandoned the daughter of the Shangjia family and chose the daughter of the official family who was helpful to his future." ”
"Love in the world, if you respect your own heart, there is no right or wrong, scholars are ambitious when they get fame, and they will naturally choose people who are more beneficial to themselves for the future, but it only hurts the heart of the merchant girl."
"You think he didn't do anything wrong?" The emperor closed the book and looked at Hua Ying inquiringly.
"From the perspective of the concubine, he did something wrong, but if the emperor is from his point of view, he is a poor scholar, and he finally became a petty official, will he really choose the daughter of a merchant without hesitation?"
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not reply immediately, but pursed his lips, and then said, "You are right, then, Ying'er has chosen me for the sake of profit?"
Of course. From beginning to end, the purpose is for profit, so she has a little accessory with a scheming, Hua Ying restrained her smile: "Everything the concubine does is also obedient to her heart, if the emperor believes it, you can remember that Ying'er will never hurt the emperor." ”
"I, the emperor."
