Chapter 152: It's All Here!
"Princess Han and Concubine Han?"
Hearing the report of the little palace maid, whether it was Concubine Zhou or the others in the hall, they were all stunned after hearing this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Zhu Song got married, Concubine Zhou did not participate, or she wanted to participate, but Zhu Yunwen never gave him this opportunity at all.
For these two daughters-in-law, she has never seen any of them.
In addition, Zhu Song has sent someone to send a birthday gift today, which represents the Han Wangfu, why did these two daughters-in-law enter the palace alone to celebrate their birthday? Could it be that something happened?
Therefore, when Concubine Zhou heard that the two daughters-in-law were coming, she was also a little puzzled for a while, and even felt a little panic inexplicably.
However, doubts are doubts, and panic is panic, Concubine Zhou immediately got up and went outside the palace gate, wanting to see what these two daughters-in-law looked like.
Outside the Suhua Hall, Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun were all wearing gorgeous brocade robes, dressed beautifully.
Behind the two sisters, there were seven or eight young eunuchs, carrying three small boxes.
"Sister Miaomiao, do you think the mother will like us? You're not going to knock us out of the palace, are you?" Xu Wanjun looked at Xu Miaojin a little nervously and said.
It was the first time that the two daughters heard that Zhu Song's mother was still alive, and this time to congratulate Concubine Zhou on her birthday was indeed a bit unexpected for them.
In fact, Xu Miaojin was even more nervous than Xu Wanjun, but as the eldest lady of the palace and Xu Wanjun's cousin, she couldn't show that nervousness, but her lips opened lightly and said lightly:
"Wanjun, don't worry, listen to His Royal Highness King Min, the mother concubine is very kind to others, and she will never embarrass us."
"Wonderful ......"
Xu Wanjun wanted to say something, but saw a beautiful woman with a smile on her face coming out of the gate of Suhua Palace, and a palace maid was followed by the beautiful woman.
"Daughters-in-law Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun have seen Concubine Zhou!"
Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun's eyes lit up, and they all bowed down.
"You are Miaojin, you are Wanjun?"
Concubine Zhou took a few steps forward and looked at the two girls with some uncertainty, to be honest, she was really surprised by the appearance and temperament of the two girls.
"Yes!"
The two women smiled brightly with a smile on their faces.
"I have long heard that Song'er married two beautiful and virtuous concubines, and today I saw that it was so!"
Concubine Zhou stepped forward and gently took the hands of the two daughters, and said, "Come on, come on, come into the palace with the concubine."
When Concubine Zhou led Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun to the palace, and after the two of them and everyone in the hall had seen the ceremony, Concubine Zhou smiled and said, "Miaojin, Wanjun, why did the two of you come to me?" ”
Hearing Concubine Zhou's question, I saw Xu Miaojin reply with a smile: "Today is the 40th birthday of the concubine, and the husband said that His Majesty has agreed to let the concubine out of the palace, so let the sons and sisters come to the palace to meet the concubine, and after noon, the concubine will go out of the palace with you to the palace to the palace of King Han."
When she said this, Xu Wanjun added: "That's right, mother concubine." His Royal Highness King Min and Princess Min also arrived at the palace of King Han, and the husband said that he would personally congratulate you on his birthday in the palace! ”
"Really?"
Concubine Zhou heard Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun's words, and stood up excitedly and asked.
"Erchen doesn't dare to deceive his mother!" Xu Miaojin said: "Originally, the husband was going to come in person today, just to prepare for today's mother's birthday, the husband has been busy, so he can only be replaced by his son!"
When she said this, Xu Miaojin smiled slightly and said, "And although Erchen and Junmei have married into the royal family, they have never seen their mother's concubine, and today I just took this opportunity to meet my mother's concubine."
"Hehe, you can come to see your mother today, your mother is already very happy, why do you have to take such gifts?"
Hearing Xu Miaojin's words, Concubine Zhou was very happy, after all, Xu Miaojin was telling the truth, and she had never seen her two daughters-in-law.
"Mother, these are nothing ......"
Before Xu Miaojin finished speaking, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then Queen Xu, who still had a gentle smile on her face, walked in and said with a smile: "What is nothing, let the palace also take a look?"
"Queen Mother, sister!"
Seeing Empress Xu, Concubine Zhou, Concubine Han and other Hongwu concubines who came in, Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun all stood up in surprise and saluted Queen Xu.
"Everyone, hurry up and excuse me!" Empress Xu walked over with a smile on her face, personally helped Concubine Zhou, and said: "Concubine Zhou, today is your birthday, and there is nothing to give you in this palace.
In fact, according to the seniority, Queen Xu should call the imperial aunt with Concubine Zhou, after all, Zhu Di's mother is the filial piety of Queen Ma, and Ma and Concubine Zhou are both Zhu Yuanzhang's daughters. People, Queen Xu naturally has to be courteous to her juniors.
It's just that now Hongwu has been buried for many years, and she is now the queen, Concubine Zhou is just Hongwu's widow, and her status is there, so Queen Xu will naturally not let go of her body.
"The queen is so polite!"
Concubine Zhou was polite, but she knew in her heart that the reason why Queen Xu came was not for the sake of King Han and Princess Han, but really relied on her own words, I was afraid that she didn't even know who Queen Xu was.
"Hehe, Your Majesty allowed Niangniang to leave the palace today, I don't know when Niangniang wants to leave?"
Empress Xu found a seat and sat down, and looked at Concubine Zhou with a smile.
Concubine Zhou glanced at the two sisters Xu Miaojin and said, "What a coincidence, Miaojin and Wanjun came to the palace to pick me up for Song'er."
"Oh? Aren't you preparing a small banquet in the palace?" Empress Xu said with some disappointment: "There has been no good thing to do in our palace for a long time."
For a long time, because of Xu Huizu's matter, Queen Xu has been quite bored, and a few days ago, it was easy to solve the matter, and she originally hoped to do something festive to be lively.
Now the wish was disappointed, and Concubine Zhou was naturally a little disappointed.
"Why should my sister be depressed?" Xu Miaojin Bingxue was smart, she saw something, her eyes rolled, and she said, "My husband originally wanted to invite His Majesty and my sister to come over, but I was persuaded by my sister."
"You tell your sister the truth, is this what you mean or what Brother Songdi means?"
Queen Xu won't believe Xu Miaojin's nonsense, don't look at this girl's dignified and virtuous appearance on weekdays, in fact, in front of her relatives, she is still a little naughty.
"Hehe, sister, you should be my husband's words!" Xu Miaojin grinned, obviously acquiescing.
"You!" Queen Xu doted on the tip of Xu Miaojin's nose in the air, and then said to Concubine Zhou: "Niangniang, I think it's better for us to go to King Han's Mansion now, I heard that for Niangniang's birthday, Brother Song has been ready for a few days!"
Concubine Zhou really couldn't wait to see her two sons now, so she said:
"In this case, there will be Queen Lao!"
……
At noon, Queen Xu led the two sisters Xu Miaojin and the two unmarried princesses, Princess Ancheng Zhu Zhijie and Princess Xianning Zhu Zhiming, and rushed to the Han Palace.
As the emperor's dearest brother at present, and also the little brother-in-law who solved her heart, the first time she visited the palace, Empress Xu did not come empty-handed, but brought a lot of valuable gifts.
In fact, these valuable gifts were specially ordered by Zhu Di to be picked out from the library, if there was no order from Zhu Di, even the queen would not be able to leave the palace, right?
In order to celebrate Concubine Zhou's birthday, King Han's Mansion has already been newly furnished, and Bai Fu is welcome at the door of the mansion, and he has never seen Queen Xu and Concubine Zhou, so when he saw that these two people were accompanied by his own princess, he didn't care, but put them directly into the mansion.
In the middle courtyard, in the late spring hall, Empress Xu and Concubine Zhou sat in the middle of the hall with a dignified demeanor.
Under the two of them, Zhu Zhijie and Zhu Zhiming stood on one side very respectfully, and the two did not dare to sit down.
When Zhu Song heard that the princess had returned, he came from outside the hall, and before he saw who was in the hall, he shouted:
"Miaomiao, have you seen your mother, how is your mother's body? How's it going? Have you been ...... by those old ladies in the palace? Uh......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Song saw at a glance the two people sitting in the middle of the Late Spring Hall, one of them was Queen Xu, who was very familiar with him.
As for the other person, although he didn't know him, Zhu Song instinctively felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity from her! (To be continued.) )
