The sun rises twelve
The tenth day of December in the second year of Yonghui.
Heavy snow.
The entire Taiji Palace has been white since the morning, and there is no heaven and earth.
The cold wind invades the bones, and the snow is like a silver blade, but in the Lizheng Palace, it is a warm and peaceful situation.
Li Zhi was not in the Lizheng Palace today because of something in the court, Mei Niang recalled that when she was in her hometown in the old year, she loved it in winter, and took some dried fruits and roasted them in the fire until they were warm, and then took them with wine and food.
In winter, everyone loves to eat, not to mention that there is wine to accompany it.
In a short time, there was already a place of peace and harmony in the Lizheng Palace.
Among the attendants, only Mei Niang has never seen wine - for no other reason, after all, she is still parenting Li Hong, so she is not allowed to drink, but seeing that everyone is eating happily, she has somewhat solved some homesickness.
Seeing this, Ryan said with a smile:
"My sister is really happy today!"
Mei Niang smiled lightly, and looked at the few people standing in front of the corridor on one side of the hall who were allowed by Wen Niang to enter the hall and took hot roasted food, and after eating and drinking in a place under the corridor, she suddenly spoke:
"It's so cold today, but I don't know if the servants of the other highnesses can eat some hot food?"
Ryan understood, beckoned a waiter standing in the crowd to come over and question.
The little waiter was also attentive and clever, and when he saw Mei Niang's question, he immediately smiled and said:
"The lady is laughing when she asks this......
In other halls, even if there is a good master like a lady, there may not be such a good manager!
He didn't mention it in the palace, so isn't that the case in the queen's palace?
Speaking of which, the queen also rewarded something in the morning, but before she was halfway through, she was stopped by the big maids and maids who were in charge, and she didn't see a star in the hands of everyone.
After hearing about this, the queen mother only complained to them a few words, and then quarreled with them, telling them to spit out the things they had swallowed......
But then again, how can you spit out this swallowed thing?
It's spit out, whether those little waiters dare to take it or not, it's still the same thing!
That's fine, those little waiters only complained a few times at most, but those who were harshly criticized couldn't help but complain, saying that the lack of rewards for following the queen's mother on weekdays was already pitiful, and now they finally got some rewards, and they had to share them with others......
It's really resentful!
Judging from the small, up and down the Wanchun Palace, the only one who thinks that the queen treats her really well, and there is only one reward for the unique red silk. ”
Mei Niang nodded, and asked softly after a while:
"If you speak like this......
The queen mother's own palace is so careless......
I'm afraid that in other deserted and ownerless palaces, I can't take care of it, right? ”
The waiter said yes again and again, and said:
"Don't mention it, isn't it the first one in the Lingyan Pavilion who can't take care of it?
No, at the end of the year, those small people in Lingyan Pavilion haven't even sent out a serious cotton coat yet! ”
Smelling this, Mei Niang also frowned for a while, and said softly after a while:
"This Lingyan Pavilion is not from the side......
Why is it so lazy? ”
When the little waiter saw Mei Niang asking, he also showed his face, so he smiled and stepped forward and said:
"Niangzi Zhenri sits in the hall and doesn't go out a step, so naturally I don't know how much.
This Lingyan Pavilion was originally a place given by the first emperor to set up statues with twenty-four meritorious heroes to prove their merits, which was also a great good thing.
But that's the key......
Among the twenty-four meritorious heroes, except for a very few, the others can be said to be all important ministers of the Guanlong family......
The queen mother from the Taiyuan Wang family was already quite dissatisfied with the declining momentum of her mother's family in the court, and she was afraid that Xiao Shufei, who was the most likely to compete with her among the four concubines, was the uncle of the family (Xiao Yu) in this meritorious pavilion, and because of the eldest grandson Taiwei These days, the actions against her Taiyuan Wang family are also frequent......
How could she have the strength to be taken care of by others?
Just in time, a few days ago, I was a little blind, and in order to make the matter of the prince decided as soon as possible, the case of Hou Junji was mentioned in the early dynasty......
His Majesty was unhappy in his heart, and the queen happened to take advantage of this reason, because it was getting worse and worse day by day. ”
When Mei Niang heard this, she was silent immediately, and then said softly for a while:
"Lingyan Pavilion is the land where the first emperor gave the canonization of the twenty-four princes of the founding of the country, that is, how the lord is in love with the old case, and it should not be so wasted, not to mention that among the twenty-four ministers, not all of them are Hou Junji.
Moreover, among the twenty-four ministers, there are still many old ministers who are still serving in the court......
Doesn't this chill the hearts of those old ministers?
No, the queen can't just do this......
Otherwise, sooner or later there will be chaos.
The former dynasty is different from the back court, and when the important ministers move, it is a big move in the world! ”
Ryan looked at Mei Niang on the side and said softly:
"What does that sister mean......
Borrow someone to pass the word, with the queen? ”
Mei Niang glanced at him and said with a faint smile:
"Word to her?
If Hong'er hadn't been born, I would have done it......
But right now......"
Mei Niang looked ahead, her eyes were cold:
"It's time for me to come forward to gain some fame for myself and pave the way for Hong'er's future."
……
Half an hour later.
Tai Chi Palace.
On the Tai Chi Temple.
Li Zhi was sitting with the ministers and ministers, discussing political affairs, when he suddenly saw a small attendant stumbling in, and all the way he only shouted that it was not good, it was not good.
De'an shook off the dust at the moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the little waiter and wanted to throw him out, but when he looked at his face carefully, he was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand and blurted out:
"Huh? You're not a ...... of the Imperial Palace."
At this point, he knew that he had lost his words, but Li Zhi had already heard the three words of Lizheng Palace, so he immediately asked:
"What's wrong with the Lizheng Palace?!"
The courtiers, including the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the leader, and Li Ji, who returned to the court from outside the Saiwai, lowered their brows quietly.
Only a few courtiers, such as Yu Suiliang, looked at the little eunuch with a frown.
Seeing this, the little attendant was also frightened, trembling all over, but thinking that the matter was very important, he couldn't take much of it, but he just stepped forward with a crying voice and said:
"Back to ......
Back to Your Majesty......
Wu Niangzi...... Wu Niangzi also has His Royal Highness the Acting King......
At......
In the small garden next to the Sanqing Palace...... Fell ......"
"What?!"
Li Zhi stood up on the spot, his face changed greatly!
Not only him, but also the ministers were also shocked, and the first one to ask was the eldest grandson Wuji:
"It's so decent, how could His Royal Highness the Acting King fall!"
Although his tone was steady and his demeanor remained unchanged, there was some anxious gaze in his eyes.
The little eunuch Meng Keli had never seen such a big person asked him, and he was a little stupid for a while, until Wang De hurried down to scold him for being stupid and quick to say, and then he cried and said:
"Mother...... The lady doesn't have a heart, huh......
She......
She just heard that there was no one to take care of Lingyan Pavilion these days, and the portraits erected by the first emperor for the princes were all dusty, and she was pitiful that the little attendants who were guarding Lingyan Pavilion didn't even have a winter coat in such a cold and snowy day......
Lingyan Pavilion is ignored again, and the food and drink sent over these days are cold in the pavilion...... Many of the prisoners also fell ill......
So......
So I wanted to take advantage of the fact that when I got up early today, Father-in-law Ruian, Aunt Wen Niang, and a few old grandmothers turned out more than a dozen winter clothes in the Lizheng Palace, cooked some hot food, and sent them to the Lingyan Pavilion to warm up with those little attendants, and then took the opportunity to take His Royal Highness the Acting King to pay respects......
Wife......
The lady is also kind......
She said that this was the emperor's heart for all the important ministers, and it was decided that it could not be destroyed here......"
After speaking, he was already crying in the court.
When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked, especially Li Zhi himself.
- You need to know that this matter is sudden, even Mei Niang herself never thought of it, let alone Li Zhi?
But in the end, he and Mei Niang have been in contact with each other for many years, and they also know what they mean, and in the moment of their hearts, they are already handsome and iron-green, and they asked:
"How is His Royal Highness the Acting King?
Is the lady in good health?! ”
"Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Acting King is fine, when the lady fell off the sedan chair, she hugged His Royal Highness tightly in her arms, and only then did she ask the imperial doctor to see it, saying that she was just a little frightened, and now she has been coaxed to sleep by the grandmothers.
But the lady she ......
Lady she ......"
"What's wrong with the lady? Say it! ”
Li Zhi drank hard.
The waiter trembled with fright, and said with a sad face:
"The lady's fall is really not light, and when the villain came out of the palace, he hadn't woken up yet!"
Li Zhi felt a pang in his heart, and immediately got up without thinking about it, and ran out of the Lizheng Palace, leaving behind a group of uneasy ministers, but all had their own thoughts.
