Chapter 120: Friendship
Maybe it was because of his words that he thought of his child or was simply a little moved, Hua Ying's eyes were slightly red, but she turned her back and didn't let the emperor see it: "The emperor can do this for his concubines, and the concubines are naturally happy, hurry up and eat." ”
After the emperor used it up, there were basically few porridge and side dishes left, which shows that Hua Ying's craftsmanship has improved a lot: "Why don't you have lotus root slices today?" ”
"The emperor has liked the taste of chili peppers these days, and it is easy to get angry if you eat too much, so don't be greedy."
While he was talking, Li Quan came in to report that Qiu Shi was coming, Qiu Shi was ostensibly the emperor's personal palace maid, but in fact, while investigating intelligence for the emperor, he would also bring news of the secret guard.
"Aunt Qiushi has something to tell the emperor, so the concubine will go back to the palace first." Hua Ying consciously knew that she was interested, but she didn't expect the emperor to stop her.
"It's nothing, you don't have to go, go and let Qiushi in."
After Qiu Shi entered, she found that there was another harem concubine, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she thought that this was the emperor who had paid attention to Yun Concubine before, and it was not uncommon for her to kneel down and say: "The slave and maid have seen the emperor and have seen Yun Concubine Niangniang." ”
"Get up, what was told to you that day can be clarified?"
"Back to the emperor, it has been ascertained that the medicines and residues that Concubine Ling said have been tested, and they are indeed used to treat diseases, and there will be drugs that cause infertility in women, but they are all needed for treatment, there is no other doubt, what Concubine Ling Niangniang said is true, her body is indeed not as good as day by day, and she has never wanted to murder the emperor."
The emperor really said words of trust in front of the concubine, but he had already arranged for his own people to check behind his back, and the concubine also knew his suspicions, so he asked Imperial Physician Rong to prepare things early to ensure that nothing went wrong, but fortunately, the emperor still had a little trust in her, and did not include the third princess, and it is estimated that he did not expect that the concubine's courage could be so big.
Hua Ying didn't seem to be interested on the side, but there were waves in her heart, she didn't expect the emperor to let people check it early, and she felt that the concubine was careful and didn't let others find out anything, but this proved that someone did mention this matter in front of the emperor, and it was most likely that it was the noble person, so Hua Ying asked casually after Qiu Shi left: "What's the matter, when the concubine was in the palace a few days ago, she often went to Xianfu Palace to see the third princess, what happened to the concubine's body?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that Noble Xuan mentioned the concubine in Qingliang Garden, and I couldn't let go of my heart, so I asked people to check."
If you care about other people's bodies, do you still use secret guards? But since the emperor said that Xuan Guiren, it is estimated that Xuan Guiren mentioned it, since she can know, it must be Ning Guiren who is a hindrance, Hua Ying silently wrote down this matter, after all, she and Ling Concubine also have the same goal, since Ling Concubine has been involved, she must try her best to protect Ling Concubine.
The emperor favored Hua Ying for a few more days, and did not stop until the harem concubines were not very happy.
Hua Ying had nothing to do today, and finally sent the emperor's Buddha away, and said it several times, the emperor promised her to go to see the noble people and the noble people, so as not to fall into the handle, so she went to Cining Palace, wanted to talk to the queen mother, and brought Yu Guiren, Yu Guiren had a bad impression in front of the queen mother, this child is a cool person, Hua Ying also has the intention of helping.
"The concubine asked the Queen Mother to be safe, and the Queen Mother was blessed and healthy." Hua Ying's dress today is quiet with two points of atmosphere, although she is only wearing a purple flag suit, with the bottom of the same flower pot, and the jade bead on the flag head is a reflection of each other.
The Queen Mother motioned for a seat, and waited for Hua Ying to sit down before speaking: "You girl is finally here, last time I said that I came to Cining Palace more, and I didn't see a shadow, I thought you were still unwell." ”
"Empress Dowager Lao is worried, the concubine has been in good health, before taking care of the emperor and the fifth elder brother, I haven't come for a few days, this is not a gift, this is a new copy of the Buddhist scriptures by the concubine, the handwriting is sloppy, if you don't dislike it, accept it, it is also a filial piety of the concubine."
Qingxu behind him was holding two scriptures in his hands, which must have been copied by Hua Ying.
Aunt Yiruo took over and said, "There is Lao Yun's master who is bothered." ”
"Let's put it in the ancestral hall of the mourning family." The queen showed a kind smile: "You child is sensible, doing things is real, every time you come, you always have to bring Buddhist scriptures, the mourning family is afraid that your hand is tired, unlike some people, just talk about filial piety." ”
"The concubine knows that the queen mother cares about the concubine, and when the concubine is sick, you have been sending the best supplements to the concubine, how can the concubine not return the gift?" Hua Ying knew that the Queen Mother was also a good talker, so she relaxed her tone, and her speech was not so restrained, and she looked rusty.
"Okay." The Queen Mother turned sideways and moved closer to her: "Your clothes look like they were worn during the draft, and they are also purple, and the mourning family looked like they were dignified and polite at the time, but now it seems that they are really not mistaken." ”
"The Queen Mother still remembers that time, it was really good, and the concubines also felt that the queen was good, and thought that it would be good if they entered the palace." Hua Ying chuckled: "I won't tell you, the concubine is missing her family a little now, and in this harem, I look at the queen mother, like the concubine's mother, and want to get along more." ”
"You girl has a sweet mouth, according to the age of the mourning family, it is almost the same as being your grandmother." The Queen Mother is now nearly fifty years old, and Hua Ying's mother is only in her early forties, so it stands to reason that she should also be a grandmother.
"The queen mother is wrong, the concubine looks at the queen mother's face, which is similar to the concubine's mother, where can she be called a grandmother."
"Don't come to fool the mourning family," the queen mother said, showing a smile that showed her happy mood: "The mourning family sees that you are blessed, I thought that your child was a smooth and smooth one, but I don't want to suffer like this, look at your thinness, and I haven't made up for it these days, the mourning family looks uncomfortable, and I will send someone to send you something good when I go back." ”
"No need, the concubines are already much better, and the fat and thin thing has to be raised slowly, and there is no need to waste the queen mother's things, otherwise there will be too much, and it will be put away."
"In this case, seeing that autumn is coming, and the weather is slowly getting colder, the mourning family will not give you anything to eat and drink, but give you a high-quality snow fox fur, and when the time comes, it will be warm."
"How can this be worthy? This kind of good thing, you should keep it for the emperor. Hua Ying was shocked, the fox fur was already precious, not to mention the snow fox fur with soft and shiny fur, it was really too luxurious.
The Queen Mother shook her head: "This is what the emperor gave to the mourning family last year, and the mourning family doesn't go out, and they don't need it, so you can take it, and if you go to Jingyang Palace later." ”
"The slave knows." Hua Ying saw that the matter had come to this point, so she couldn't shirk it, so she had to thank her.
"The mourning family still has to tell you a few words, there are some things you don't have to be too sad, the mourning family said that you are blessed, and you will definitely be a person with children and grandchildren in the future, and don't always let the emperor spoil you alone, the mourning family knows that the emperor spoils you, and he doesn't want to care about these things, but other people don't think like the mourning family."
"Yes, the concubine understands, thank you for the Empress Dowager's earnest teachings." Hua Ying said for a long time, looking at the Yu Guiren on the side, he couldn't speak, it is estimated that the Queen Mother deliberately did it, wanting to sharpen Yu Guiren's temperament, fortunately, although Yu Guiren has a straight temperament, he also knows that this is in the Queen Mother's palace and cannot make a mistake.
"The concubine and Yu Guiren heard that the Queen Mother likes to listen to plays, and Yu Guiren also went to learn two sentences, do you want to listen to the Queen Mother?"
"Oh? Yu Guiren still has such ability? "It is also a well-known thing that the Queen Mother likes to listen to the play, and several people have met the Queen Mother last time they went to listen to the play, and the Queen Mother often goes to listen to it when she has nothing to do, so the palace theater is also very exquisite and luxurious.
"The concubine is not talented, she was very interested in opera when she was a child, so she begged her mother to let the concubine learn a few words, for fear of polluting the queen mother's ears." Yu Guiren knew that Hua Ying was helping her, and glanced at her gratefully: "If the Queen Mother is interested, the concubine will sing a song to the Queen Mother." ”
"Naturally interested." The Queen Mother doesn't have many hobbies, except for worshipping the Buddha and listening to the opera, although she doesn't like Yu Guiren very much, but she is also willing to listen.
"Then the concubine will be ugly." Yu Guiren got up and started to sing, she cleared her throat and began to sing, she could sing This matter was learned by Hua Ying by chance, Yu Guiren had studied for several years, and it happened that the Queen Mother also liked it, and it was a pity not to take advantage of this.
"Niangniang is back, and the noble Shun has been waiting for you for a while." Huixin helped Hua Ying lift the curtain, and as soon as Hua Ying left, the noble Shun came, and when she saw that Hua Ying was not there, she simply waited.
"Ming'er, what's the matter with me?"
Shun Guiren came today to talk about the matter in Qingliangyuan: "Sister, I didn't mention two sentences in the letter, I helped a guard and a palace maid to hide, the guard and your brother know, the palace maid is an ordinary slave in the flower room, and then I took her from the Qingliang Garden to the palace flower room." Sister, you said again that you thought of a plan, I don't know if it will help you?"
Hua Ying secretly prepared to take revenge on Concubine Ling, and the noble people didn't know about it, but they only knew what Hua Ying meant, and wanted to help Hua Ying, but Hua Ying insisted on not letting her go through this troubled water, and she was worried and panicked.
"Since the two of them chose to hide it from the beginning, then don't regret it, maybe it will be useful in the future, you don't have to worry about my affairs, I have a sense of proportion." Although that Jinghui was working in the flower room, she had already found out by herself that there was no breakthrough in the flower room, it was nothing more than ingenious stealing pollen, and the most important thing was the dress.
"Sister, are you treating me as an outsider?" Shun Guiren was a little anxious, and she didn't know anything about Hua Ying's specific actions, which made her feel that Hua Ying didn't fully trust herself.
"Ming'er," Hua Ying took her hand and looked her into the eyes: "The reason why I didn't tell you was because I didn't want you to get involved, but I can tell you that my child was harmed by Concubine Ling, and I want to bring her down, you just need to help me hide it, it's enough." ”
