Chapter 618: People Have Different Aspirations
Seeing that the fourth prince hurriedly raised his head, his face instantly showed a light like salvation, and then after kowtowing, he got up with a bone, and ran to Yuquan with a smoke, looking like he was about to leave, Zhu Ying was simply ridiculous. However, the Queen Mother really bowed slightly, and then let Yuquan go out with the four princes wrapped in Zhu Ying's cloak!
The third prince was at a loss by this sudden change, and the one who was even more overwhelmed than him was Princess Deyang - the first time in her life to intercede for someone, but the intercessor ran away by herself, how did she know how to deal with it?
Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't see the stormy anger just now, but smiled at her gently: "It's obvious that Shiro did something wrong, but you were pulled by San Lang to intercede, and you were scared." Your good sister can be regarded as a disaster. You girl is kind-hearted, not more lively than Yingying, and after you get married, you must be stronger, don't be fooled. ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother said and pointed to a certain place on the Baibao grid next to her, Zhu Ying immediately got up with her knees, glanced up and down her eyes, and then took a certain grid of white jade grape ornaments, and even didn't ask the Queen Mother, and stuffed it into Princess Deyang's hand with a smile. She knew very well that the rest of the bamboo and wood ornaments were elegant, and they were awarded to Princess Deyang, but they were not as good as this white jade grape.
Princess Deyang refused to accept it at first, Zhu Ying forced it, and the Queen Mother also looked at it with a smile on the side, she hesitated to take it, but she was very grateful. Seeing this, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "You remember that after the fourth prince came back, he went to blackmail him!" This kid has made such a big disaster and escaped so easily, so he should thank you for interceding for him! ”
It's no better than Zhu Ying has always been like her own home in Qingning Palace, how dare Princess Deyang take such words, she can only bow her head and vaguely say two more good words for the fourth prince.
And the queen mother knew that this granddaughter had always been timid, and now that the queen was not there, she was not a little bold, so she motioned to a female official to send someone out. It wasn't until only the Third Prince and Zhu Ying were left that she lost her smile.
"San Lang, you value filial piety, which is good, but if you indulge and spoil him too much, it will harm him. I think that your father and the emperor connived at King Lu like this, but as a result, he spoiled people to do whatever he wanted, and he was lawless, so he got mixed up with the Yeshu people. You will be the prince in the future, you have to grasp this balance clearly! ”
Seeing that the third prince was struck by lightning, he bowed down awe-inspiringly, promising to discipline the four princes well in the future, and the queen mother no longer admonished, but said with a smile: "Okay, since you are worried about Shiro, you don't need to stay here longer." ”
"If you can catch up with Yuquan, you can go to your teacher with Shiro! There is only one, and the ring ruler can't be missing, Shiro's kid is a mouthful, and he should be beaten! If that Ah Liu really dares to teach him a good lesson, it will not be in vain that your father values him. However, since he is Hua Qi's apprentice, it is estimated that he has the courage to do so. ”
Seeing that after the third prince agreed, he happened to run faster than a rabbit, and Zhu Yingden laughed happily. And her bright smile fell in the eyes of the Queen Mother, which was not only pleasing to the eye, but also had a kind of sadness that the flowers in my backyard were about to be picked by the disciples. Fortunately, this emotion came and went faster, and she was sitting upright just now, but she soon fell crooked on the pillow.
Except for the emperor's biological son, she would only be so relaxed when she was with Zhu Ying, and at this time, glancing at Zhu Ying's bright clothes, she smiled and said: "San Lang has chased after Zhang Shou, can you still sit still here with me?" The cloak has just been wrapped in Shiro, and the Shangfu Bureau just sent a few newly made cloaks before, but that finch gold fur is suitable for you, you can wear it and leave! ”
"It's green, I don't like to wear it, I still like the red brocade! Besides, I came to the palace to see the Queen Mother. ”
Zhu Ying didn't appreciate it, and then knelt down on the foot of the queen mother's seat, and said with a smile: "I didn't come today to intercede for the four princes, it was just in time." Besides, why should I chase after Ah Shou? He has his business, I have my business! We met at Dong'anmen before! ”
Listening to Zhu Yingzhen say that she and Zhang Shou have their own things, the Queen Mother was still a little surprised, thinking about how this girl had changed her temperament, and when she heard that the two of them met in Dong'anmen early this morning, she really had to hold her forehead and smile bitterly.
There is no doubt that this little couple is going to do something big...... However, in the case that the fourth prince has already gone through such a catastrophe, there is probably nothing that can surprise her! But she thought so, and soon experienced the kind of heartbeat experience that Mrs. Tai and Zhu Jing experienced last night.
When Zhu Ying was lobbying the Queen Mother, she hurriedly went back to Xianyang Palace to see her mother Concubine Duan with the white jade grapes, and asked Princess Deyang to teach her what to do when she turned around, but she bumped into Princess Yongping halfway. The sisters have never talked about how deep their affection is, so after this meeting, when they saw the things in Princess Deyang's hand, the corners of Princess Yongping's mouth curled.
"Second sister, is this coming back from Qingning Palace? I'm going to intercede for my fourth brother, right? The Queen Mother Jia has a deep love for your sister and brother, so there is a generous gift? ”
Princess Deyang thought of the scene in Qingning Palace before, and was stunned for a moment before she whispered: "It was the third brother who invited me to go, and I couldn't help, but in the end, thanks to Yingying's plea for Shiro." ”
Since Zhu Ying was matched, and then her father personally selected a husband for her, the relationship between her and Zhu Ying has become much closer than before, at least, she called Yingying naturally and cordially, and there was no reluctance at all.
As soon as she heard that Zhu Ying had also gone, Princess Yongping, who was just casually sneering just now, really sank her face, and said "How can she catch up with anything" and couldn't hold back and didn't say anything, but the disapproval on her face couldn't be hidden at all. Fortunately, Princess Deyang didn't delve into it at all, and hurriedly said goodbye after a perfunctory gossip with her.
Seeing that the person disappeared at the gate of Xianyang Palace not far away, Princess Yongping seemed to continue to go to Qingning Palace in a hurry, but she was in an extremely bad mood. The third prince didn't come to her to intercede for the fourth prince, she was not surprised at all, after all, Princess Deyang was a good person, but she was not.
At the beginning, because the eldest prince and the second prince were more likely to enter the East Palace, she would at least make peace with them, so that her mother and daughter could be safe in the future, and the third prince and the fourth prince were really just the nodding love when they met in the Qianqing Palace, and they were not even as good as Zhu Ying, who had no younger brother at home, so she would play with the brothers from time to time.
And now, at the critical moment, Zhu Ying went out to intercede with the four princes, which is more like a sister than her real sister!
Early in the morning, she heard the news that the Queen Mother had summoned the four princes, and Concubine Yu did not remind her to go to Qingning Palace, first, to ask for advice on women's studies, and secondly, to ask the four princes by the way.
But she thought of her reputation as cold and lonely in the past, and deliberately went to Qingning Palace to intercede, so how many people in the palace would say that she was coy and wanted to meet the future prince of the third prince?
The third prince may be grateful to her for a while, but what will he think afterwards? Will the Queen Mother believe that she is sincere? What if she was sent back with a nose instead? Wouldn't that be a shot in the foot?
Therefore, after thinking about it, although she finally left Yonghe Palace, she simply wandered around the back garden for half an hour, planning to arrive after the fourth prince had been taught a lesson - in her opinion, it was almost impossible for the queen mother to open up because of the intercession of the third prince or Princess Deyang.
After all, Chu Kuan, the celebrant supervisor, is said to have grown up beside the Queen Mother since he was a child! This time, the four princes said such a call, and the celebrant can be said to have been roasted on the firewood, with Chu Kuan's character of being wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, he will always find ways to cry in front of the queen mother about his difficulties, and this consequence, of course, is borne by the four princes, the culprit!
And as long as she arrives afterwards and says a few words to the four princes at the right time, she will fulfill her obligations as a sister. But who would have thought that as soon as Zhu Ying came out, everything would be messed up! Although Princess Deyang didn't say it explicitly just now, she saw that the Queen Mother easily forgave the four princes because of Zhu Ying's plea.
Princess Yongping, who was in a troubled mood, did not readjust her facial expression and walking posture and pace until Qingning Gate was in sight. She has always been known as a talented woman, and the etiquette rules are naturally not bad at all, so unlike Zhu Ying, who went straight unscrupulously, she stopped in front of the Qingning Gate and waited for the report, and when she arrived at the bottom of the steps outside the main hall of Qingning Palace, she stopped again and waited for the report.
After a short while, she saw the door curtain raised high, and then Zhu Ying's smiling and disgusting face was revealed.
"Yo, what a coincidence, you just came, I'm leaving." Zhu Ying greeted her straight to the point, and saw that Princess Yongping's face looked extremely cold, but she didn't care at all, when she stepped out, she was still wearing a big red wool cloak just given by the Queen Mother.
She stood in front of Princess Yongping, and then said with a smile: "The place where the female school is located, the Queen Mother has been demarcated, and it is in the inner city." After all, the outer city is mixed with dragons and snakes, which is always not beneficial to women. But all the innocent, willing to study the daughter of a good family, can go directly to the women's school to register, the queen mother will call the palace Chinese New Year's Eve above, literacy and hyphenation, the former unwilling to go out of the palace female officials and palace people......"
"They are the lecturers who teach the girls of good families."
Seeing Zhu Ying talking to herself, Princess Yongping couldn't help but faintly feel a little vigilant and dangerous. She didn't have much enthusiasm for women's studies, after all, how could she, who was taught by famous scholars and scholars, look down on those illiterate women?
Not to mention the small jasper in the capital, it is everyone's ladies, how many people can have the insight she cultivated by her father's side, and the vision she has cultivated in Yuehualou? And in this world, only men are officials, and women are talented women who are full of wealth, how many can have a good end? Take a look at Ban Zhao, Xie Daoyun, and Li Qingzhao...... There are more well-known and unknown talented women, how does it end?
However, she has no interest in her husband and children, or rather, since she was a child, she has seen countless noble children who are known as the sons of Xun Shijia, and she has also seen many scholars who claim to think of the world, and she has long been unwilling to be trapped in the inner circle. But as a princess, it is impossible for Xiao to think about the East Palace, and it is impossible to make contributions, so the thing that has never happened before is actually the only thing she can try.
Otherwise, could she still learn from Shangguan Wan'er and Sister Song in the Tang Dynasty and others, and be a female bachelor in charge of Jiyi writing? That also requires her to have this opportunity. Her father loved her so much, and he never let go, let alone the third prince who was not close to her?
But Zhu Ying recommended her to preside over the women's school in front of the Queen Mother, so that the daughter of Hong Shanchang, the daughter of Yuzhang Academy, could not do her full work, but now she is saying this in front of her, what does this mean?
Zhu Ying didn't care about Princess Yongping's careful thoughts, and continued to say with a smile: "In the future, you will be the superintendent of the mountain, and Hong Niangzi will persuade the female history, I, so-so, do a superintendent inspection, it's so decided!" ”
What is called being shocked and angry, that is the mood of Princess Yongping at this moment. Although the Hong family said that there was a needle hidden in the cotton, it was by no means easy to get along with, but after all, his identity was limited, and it was impossible to compete with her, but Zhu Ying had never been interested in this kind of thing, so why did she suddenly jump out and want to stick a bar? Invigilator Patrol ...... It's a joke, isn't Zhu Ying famous in the capital if she doesn't learn and can't do anything?
And Zhu Ying naturally didn't look at Princess Yongping's face - in fact, among the people who had just interceded with the four princes, only the third prince and Princess Deyang were the third prince, but she didn't see Princess Yongping, so she knew what Princess Yongping was fighting in her heart.
Therefore, she didn't like to observe words and emotions at this time, and she didn't even have the interest to explain a word at this time, so she smiled and said: "I still have something to do, so I'll retire first." ”
Zhu Ying said goodbye, and when she bowed, she didn't look sluggish. But Princess Yongping and her have been opponents for many years, although there are times when Zhu Ying speaks for her fairly, but she doesn't know that Zhu Ying has never felt inferior to her in her bones, that is, she treats all princes equally, so she can treat the eldest prince and the second prince without pretense, and treat the third prince and the fourth prince as younger brothers?
At this time, when she saw people leaving, she couldn't wait to turn around and leave, but this was Qingning Palace after all, and she didn't dare to be so willful. Therefore, after standing silently in front of the door for a long time, she finally bowed her head and entered after the female official opened the curtain again, as always.
And Zhu Ying, who was willful, went straight north after leaving Qingning Palace - the Hong family has not left since she was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, and since then, it is because she wants to teach the three princes to paint, so after the Queen Mother nodded, she moved to Youyizhai behind Kunning Palace. There are calligraphy and paintings of the virtuous concubines of the Ming Dynasty hanging here, and it is also a rare place in the harem.
As for rumors such as misunderstanding that the Hong family was included in the harem by the Son of Heaven - not to mention Hong's age and appearance, based on the character of today's son, no one will think about it. Of course, it is naturally impossible to treat the Song sisters and female bachelors as well as the sisters of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty. At least, the concubines and princesses in the palace are called Mr. This kind of special encounter, the Hong family does not have it at all.
But even so, she still got more treatment than her five-grade Yongping princess friend in Yuyizhai. The four palace people are at their disposal at any time, and there is no trace of laziness and slippery, contempt and slowness, all the utensils of daily living are high-quality products, and the food and drink are all supplied by the imperial kitchen of Kunning Palace, and even the four treasures of the study are also tributes.
Therefore, when Zhu Ying came to her and explained her intentions, she couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief: "The concubine has been useless for a long time, and if she doesn't use the pen in her hand, I'm afraid she won't be able to write." This is exactly what I want, and I deserve it! ”
