(117) Full of friends
The queen felt that Jiang Qingchen's heart was quite big, so she left Yun Xiangrong, who entered the palace for the second time, to herself. Jiang Qingchen was really not worried about putting Yun Xiangrong by the queen's side, because he knew that for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, the queen would also treat Yun Xiangrong well.
Jiang Qingchen went to see the prince, and several women talked.
"Xiangrong, did you bring a change of clothes? On such a hot day, it was too uncomfortable to wear this princess dress. The queen said.
The queen and Concubine Zhuang were wearing court summer clothes, and they were hot when they looked at Yun Xiangrong.
"Brought it, in the carriage outside the palace." Yun Xiangrong said.
"The mourning family asked someone to fetch it, put it on for you, and then wear a princess dress, it's really going to be heat stroke." After the queen finished speaking, she asked the palace maid to pick up the package.
Later, Yun Xiangrong learned that in the harem, although the queen mother is a person with a bowl of water, doesn't a good man also have three helpers. In the harem, the relationship with the queen is good, and it is the concubine and the concubine who do well.
Concubine Shu is pregnant now, so she didn't come to Changchun Palace this time. Normally, she and Concubine Zhuang would come to the queen together.
Concubine Zhuang and the queen are good, she really deliberately made friends with herself. Concubine Zhuang knew that although she was from the Yienhou Mansion, because of the concubine, and there was no courtier in the family in the past few years, the emperor was very satisfied, so the survival of the harem could only rely on herself.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to give birth to a son when I was youngest, and I will have something to rely on in the future.
Now his appearance can no longer be compared with the new show girl who entered the palace, and the emperor is no longer as spoiled as before, but it doesn't matter, as long as the queen spoils herself, there is a lot of food and clothing.
In fact, after staying in the harem for a long time, many concubines have become refined in their thoughts, and the emperor really doesn't care so much, it doesn't matter if he doesn't see him once in a few months, but the queen is different, there is a little headache and brain fever, and everyone is very concerned.
It is genuine concern. The emperor is not there, that is, to change the son of heaven, and the prince seems to be a kind person, and it is impossible to be difficult for the concubines. Besides, as long as the queen is here, she will not treat everyone badly, and everyone has reached a consensus on this.
If the queen is not there, then it will be troublesome, the emperor will definitely establish a new queen, what will the new queen look like, who can know, the risk is too high.
The emperor himself didn't know that there were many people in the harem who would worship the Buddha and pray for blessings every day, but the people who blessed the queen with a long life were far greater than the emperor. It's nothing, it's a very realistic thing to be alive.
The reason why Concubine Shu is pregnant is because the queen thinks that she is just a princess, and there is no guarantee for her old age without a prince, so she is looking for home remedies and a doctor, just to let Concubine Shu give birth to a prince.
Concubine Shu has been pregnant for a few months, and the midwife said that she looks like a prince. Therefore, Concubine Shu has not been in the palace recently, so she can raise the fetus with peace of mind.
The queen's belly is large, encouraging sisters to have princes, people who are not familiar with him may think she is stupid, adding competitors to her son, but in fact, she knows the emperor too well, and knows that as long as the prince does not cause trouble, there will be no problem with this position.
On the contrary, it is the prince of these sisters who is likely to be the prince's helper in the future.
The queen knew that Yun Xiangrong went out to play, so she asked a few words casually, Yun Xiangrong answered them one by one, and soon the palace maid who took the clothes came back, and the queen asked the palace maid to take Yun Xiangrong to the side hall to change clothes.
The side hall is open, it is the compartment of the hall, the sound insulation effect is poor, Yun Xiangrong can clearly hear what Concubine Zhuang and the queen are saying, it turned out to be the marriage of the prince.
Thinking about it, the prince is going to get married in four months, Concubine Zhuang as a person who has come over, her son and the second prince have been married, and she also has some experience.
Yun Xiangrong changed into the princess's casual clothes, removed some hairpin rings, washed her face, and the palace maid helped paint a light makeup and went out of the side door.
"Princess Rong is too beautiful." Concubine Zhuang looked at Yun Xiangrong and said.
"Concubine Zhuang, do I have the beauty you had when you were young?" Yun Xiangrong said with a smile.
"The princess's mouth is so sweet, I don't know what to say in response for a while." Concubine Zhuang said happily.
"It's good that you finally have someone who can choke you." The queen said with a smile.
The chat atmosphere was nice and it was at this time. Then I heard the voice of the eunuch: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have arrived." ”
Everyone was stunned, why did the prince come.
As he spoke, the prince and Jiang Qingchen came in, and the prince first greeted the queen and Concubine Zhuang. After that, he looked at Yun Xiangrong and said: "I am your eldest brother, you call me the prince when outsiders are here, and you call me eldest brother in private." The prince said.
"Hello, big brother." Yun Xiangrong is well-behaved.
Yun Xiangrong saw the prince for the first time, to be honest, it was different from what he imagined, the prince looked like a queen, and his height was about the same as Jiang Qingchen, but his temperament was very soft and more affinity.
The prince turned to look at Jiang Qingchen and didn't speak.
Jiang Qingchen immediately understood, and said helplessly: "Big brother, hello." ”
The prince said proudly: "I'm fine. ”
"You and the second prince are really brothers, and he has also reminded me many times and asked me to call him second brother." Jiang Qingchen said.
Everyone knows that Concubine Zhuang is not an outsider, and she doesn't have to speak too deliberately, and the prince was about to joke about Jiang Qingchen, when he heard the eunuch outside the door report: "The emperor is married." ”
Jiang Qingchen said in his heart that today is really, there are too many strange things, just now he went to see the prince, and as soon as he finished talking about business, the prince said that he wanted to see Yun Xiangrong, and said that this was his third emperor sister.
Jiang Qingchen knew that the prince was not curious about having an imperial sister, but was curious about what his wife was like. But the emperor suddenly appeared, what is going on?
Everyone knelt down to greet the emperor.
The emperor actually went to find the prince, but the eunuch said that the prince went to the queen to see the royal sister, and the emperor felt that the queen was so lively here, so he came over to have a look.
The emperor motioned for everyone to be flat, and everyone sat down in their places.
At this moment, the emperor saw a eunuch waiting outside the palace with a food box, and the emperor asked and found out that this was a steamed crab made in the small kitchen of Concubine Zhuang and brought it to everyone to taste.
It just so happens that everyone is there, so let's go to the table.
Eating crabs in the palace is different from the folk, it is the palace maid who peels the crabs and puts them in a small vessel, and the nobles take a small spoon to eat crab meat and crab roe little by little.
At this moment, the emperor has the opportunity to see Yun Xiangrong's appearance clearly, as the queen said, people are indeed beautiful, men like beauties, and Jiang Qingchen may also like Yun Xiangrong's appearance the most.
Because the subversion of the previous dynasty is related to women, the emperor has been prejudiced against beautiful women since he was a child, and he always feels that it is a red face, and now that he has experienced it, he knows that the rise and fall of the dynasty has little to do with women, it is just the rhetoric of the superior.
The emperor has worked hard for so many years, what kind of courtier has not seen? I understand a truth, that is, no matter what a person's facial features look like, when they are combined, it is what his soul looks like.
So no matter what Yun Xiangrong's appearance is, she is a clean and simple girl in temperament, which is enough, the emperor likes a well-behaved princess.
Yun Xiangrong felt that the emperor was looking at him, and he didn't know what to say, but it was very embarrassing not to say it, so he said: "Father, can the son peel a crab for you?" ”
The emperor thought that this girl was a little interesting, and knew that he wanted to please himself, so he nodded in agreement.
The palace maid gave Yun Xiangrong a big male crab and a four-piece set of crab peeling tools.
Originally, everyone was chatting with the emperor, but when they saw Yun Xiangrong peeling crabs, they all stopped to watch, mainly because the palace did not have many opportunities to eat crabs every year, and the crab peeling skills of the palace maids were not as skilled as Yun Xiangrong.
Yun Xiangrong quickly dismantled the crab into eight pieces, removed the inedible part, put all the crab meat and crab paste into the crab bucket, and then arranged the crab's legs and tongs, and it looked like a whole one. It was served to the emperor like this.
The main Yun Xiangrong had never eaten crabs in the palace, and he didn't know that these edible parts were to be put in a small bowl on the side. Instead, I put the inedible part in a small bowl.
The emperor also felt novel, Yun Xiangrong peeled the crab throughout the whole process, only using scissors as a tool, and the rest of the peeling meat used the crab calf as a tool.
At this time, the palace maid peeled the crabs, and Yun Xiangrong knew how to eat them in the palace, and suddenly felt that he was too reckless.
The saint saw Yun Xiangrong's embarrassment, so he relieved the siege and said: "Qingchen, you are so convinced, someone will peel you if you eat crabs in the future." ”
"Your Majesty, you also know that I have the same taste as the crown prince, and I don't like to eat such troublesome things." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Yes, yes, we are all rough people, the third sister's craftsmanship, it's okay to peel a crab for my father, and it's a tyrannical thing for you." The prince said jokingly.
"Xupeng, you said that again this time, what kind of fruit did Qingchen bring back last time, didn't you also say that you couldn't accept it?" The emperor said.
Yun Xiangrong knew that the emperor was referring to durian.
"Father, you have a very good memory, so I have a higher taste than Qingchen." The prince said.
Yun Xiangrong watched a few people chatting easily, and felt that although the prince's facial features were not like the saint, the emperor had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the prince was Danfeng and his eyes were like the queen, but for some reason, he always felt that the prince was the emperor's shadow, maybe the prince was deeply influenced by the emperor, so he was naturally very similar.
After eating the crabs, the emperor thought it was very good, and was about to go back to the imperial study, and before leaving, he asked Concubine Zhuang if there were any crabs? Call all the people in the palace over, eat a crab, and let Princess Rong recognize people.
The so-called people in the palace are just three noble concubines and eight concubines. Those who are not of sufficient rank will not be invited.
Originally, it was said that yesterday the second prince ordered fifty crabs, and Jiang Xi'an knew that he was going to bring them into the palace, so he sent a few baskets, a total of one hundred crabs, and he knew that the second princess liked to eat crabs.
As a result, due to physical reasons at this time, the second princess couldn't eat crabs, and the second prince was afraid that she would see it and she couldn't stop it, so she directly sent all the crabs to the palace, which would be just right, enough for Concubine Zhuang to entertain.
After the emperor left, the queen sent someone to call everyone to eat crabs, and the crabs steamed quickly, and after a while, the small kitchen of the concubine Zhuang took the steamed crabs. At this time, the guests have not yet arrived.
The prince didn't leave, he stayed with him, although Jiang Qingchen didn't say anything, but he knew that Jiang Qingchen wanted him to accompany him, because at the moment when he was with him, no one would dare to gossip about Yun Xiangrong in private, after all, the princess from the people would definitely be criticized.
