Chapter 64: The Theater

"The concubine thanks the Queen Mother for her praise, the Queen Mother likes it, and those worthless things are blessed." Hua Ying listened to her praise like this, and replied with a smile on her face, which did not seem fake.

The Queen Mother looked at her bun again, it was just an ordinary shelf, and the dots on it were decorated, probably because she felt that it was too plain, so she said: "You are all concubines, why are you still dressed so low-key, you should be more delicate and rich." "It seems that the Queen Mother really likes to dress up in a graceful and luxurious style, and she will pay attention to it in the future.

"The concubine thought that today was just a gathering of harem sisters, so she dressed casually, and she didn't want the queen mother to arrive, it was rude for the concubine." Hua Ying replied truthfully, and the Queen Mother nodded.

"The last family banquet was very good for your pigeon blood ruby to save a golden hairpin, and the mourning family didn't have anything good for you, but the emperor was attentive to you." The Queen Mother continued, but Hua Ying was a little alert between her words, the Queen Mother was implying that the emperor was too fond of herself?

"The Queen Mother is overrated, and the emperor is attentive to every concubine." Hua Ying was cautious in her words, looking at the face of the Queen Mother.

I saw that the Queen Mother laughed suddenly, but she had two more feelings of sincerity, she patted Hua Ying's hand: "You are a smart person, but the mourning family doesn't mean that, the emperor grew up watching the mourning family, and the mourning family is naturally happy to have a confidant by his side." ”

Hua Ying realized that the Queen Mother was just worried that there was no confidant around the emperor on weekdays, so she let herself take care of the emperor: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, the concubines will serve the Emperor well and share the worries of the Queen Mother." ”

"It's good that you have this heart, how are the fifth elder brother and the second Gege?" The Queen Mother asked about their children.

Speaking of her child, Hua Ying smiled even more: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, everything is fine, the fifth elder brother is learning to turn over." ”

"Yes, Ergege is very naughty now, and he has to be watched all the time, otherwise he may not run away and go crazy." Fortunately, Concubine Xiu is also a favorite of the elders, and she doesn't feel embarrassed to answer like this now.

Shun Guiren also said playfully: "The children of the two sisters are all first-class and likable, and the Queen Mother might as well go and see it if she is free." ”

"You're a nobleman?" When the Queen Mother saw her like this, she felt very much like her daughter who had married, and she was very happy.

"It's a concubine, the queen mother has a good memory, and she must be very healthy." Shun Guiren spoke very differently from the two of them, and said: "In the boudoir, I heard Eniang say that people with good memories are the least likely to get sick. ”

Hearing her words, Aunt Yiruo and other subordinates next to her also smiled, although it sounded a little nonsensical, in the end, it could be regarded as auspicious: "It's okay, you can also come to accompany the mourning family more, this little mouth is sweet, the emperor's title is indeed not wrong, it makes people's hearts smooth and happy." ”

"Thank you for the Empress Dowager's praise, the concubine is sincere, not flattering the Empress Dowager." After the words, the Queen Mother chuckled, and the scene was much lighter.

Several people watched for more than an hour, and seeing that the sun was about to set in the west, the Queen Mother got up: "The mourning family is no younger than you, and the spirit is full, so go back to Cining Palace first." ”

Hua Ying and the others got up and sent off the Queen Mother, Fang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, not only talking to the emperor, but also talking to the Queen Mother requires a very high level, Hua Ying is also afraid that she will accidentally offend the Queen Mother, although she is in the position of a concubine, she is no longer the little nobleman, and she cannot go against the Queen Mother.

When Hua Ying returned to Yuqing Pavilion, she had already missed her little glutinous rice dumplings very much.

"Yinze, hug him quickly, I haven't seen him for a day, Bengong thinks about it very much." As soon as Hua Ying returned to the palace, she asked Lan Yu to hug Yin Ze over.

"The master is back, the fifth elder brother has just finished drinking milk, and he is in good spirits, today the fifth elder brother slept all afternoon, and the slaves and maids praised the fifth elder brother for being a worry-free child." Lan Yi hugged Hua Ying over to the fifth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother saw Hua Ying actually show a smile, although such a small child still didn't know how to express joy, but Hua Ying was still in a good mood.

"Lord, it's time for dinner." Xiaofuzi came in and said: "Gonggong Li, who is next to the emperor, said before that the emperor will come to us for dinner at night, do you need to prepare anything, and the slave will go to the small kitchen?"

"No, just as usual." Hua Ying just hugged Yinze to play with him.

Seeing that Hua Ying couldn't put it down while holding the fifth elder brother, even the emperor was thrown aside, and the emperor who had just walked in the door couldn't help but smile dumbly: "I really have a child and forget my husband." ”

Hua Ying heard the emperor's voice, and only then did he know that what he said before had been heard by him, so he hugged Yinze and said: "The emperor has many wives and concubines, but he can't be regarded as the husband of the concubines." ”

"Are you saying that I haven't been to Yuqing Pavilion for a few days?" The emperor was not annoyed, but sat next to Hua Ying with a piece of clothes, stretched out a hand to tease Yinze, Yinze also stupidly stuffed the emperor's finger into his mouth, and before he could stuff it, Hua Ying pushed the emperor's hand aside, and the emperor stretched out his hand: "Look at you, this is also my son, and I won't let me touch it." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Hua Ying actually felt that the thirty-two-year-old emperor had a childish grievance in his tone: "Let the emperor touch it, but the concubine is afraid that Yinze is still young and easy to get sick." ”

"Then let me hug it too." Seeing the emperor begging Yinze like this, Hua Ying also felt that she had gone too far before, so she sent Yinze to the emperor's arms, and the emperor did look like he would hold the child, Yinze didn't cry or make trouble, he was quiet.

"I've seen the emperor and Concubine Yun, dinner has been prepared, and now you want to pass the meal?" Li Quan saw that the inner room was extremely warm, and asked softly, for fear of ruining the atmosphere in the room.

"Then let's eat, Ying'er went out for a day today, and she is probably hungry." The emperor still hugged Yinze and ordered people to pass the meal.

"How did the emperor know that the concubine went out today?"

"I just came from the queen mother, and I heard the queen mother say that you listened to the play together, and she praised you for being caring, and being a noble person makes people feel comfortable." The emperor remembered the Empress Dowager's expression, and seemed to be satisfied with the two of them: "You also told the Shun nobles that they would go to Cining Palace to accompany their mother in their spare time. ”

Although the queen mother is not his biological mother, she treats him as her own, and at that time she did not hesitate to support him as the emperor instead of his own son Prince Li, so how not to make the emperor respect: "When the queen mother saw Shun Guiren, she must have remembered that she married the daughter of southern Xinjiang." ”

Hua Ying didn't say much, just listened to the emperor talk about the Queen Mother, and it didn't take long for dinner to be arranged.

"The emperor hasn't come to Yuqing Pavilion for dinner for a while, why do you remember to be here today?" Hua Ying served the emperor with dishes, and said in a disgusted tone: "This is a small dish newly made by the concubine's small kitchen according to the people, and the meal is very good, and the emperor will taste it." ”

"Ying'er is still so intimate, but the words she says are weird, and it inevitably makes people feel that there is an off-string sound." The emperor smiled and ate Hua Ying's dish: "Yes, it is indeed well pickled." ”

"It's good if the emperor likes it, but don't slander the concubines."

"I went to see the third elder brother a few days ago, and I felt that he was still sick and weak, and when I asked about the queen, I couldn't tell why." The emperor suddenly changed the subject, thinking that this was why he was so affectionate with Yinze just now.

Hua Ying paused her chopsticks, and replied with a wave of her eyes: "The queen mother doesn't know medical skills after all, this can't be completely blamed on the queen mother, and the queen mother is also doing her best to the third elder brother." ”

"I think so too, but there are always rumors, and Queen Dao is not so concerned about the third elder brother."

That's natural, Hua Ying thought truthfully in her heart, the third elder brother is weak and the whole palace knows it, and there are many people who don't look down on the third elder brother, of course the queen doesn't want a sick seedling, and the third elder brother is naturally not so thoughtful, but the emperor thinks that they are all his own children, and I am afraid that he is a little dissatisfied with the queen, even so, it is not Hua Ying's turn to say that the queen is not good, thinking of this, Hua Ying turned to say: "The queen's mother is the world, although it is not as good as the emperor, it is also a harem with many things, unlike the concubines, holding the fifth elder brother every day, There is nothing to do. ”

The emperor smiled and stopped talking, and said half-loudly: "Ying'er is right, but I should also find you some work to do." I still have an excerpt to see, so I'll go first. ”

Hua Ying hugged the fifth elder brother and sent the emperor away, but she didn't understand the meaning of his last sentence.
