Chapter 392: Sleepy and Touching the Pillow?
In the afternoon, the East Warm Pavilion of Renshou Palace is not as quiet as people imagined, and the weather is getting colder day by day, although the Empress Dowager Zhang is still young, but the position of the Renshou Palace is much more biased than the Kunning Palace.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhang did not take a nap for the first time, but leaned on the chaise long-term couch that had been covered with a soup woman, staring at Jia Shichun for a long time without blinking, and then asked coldly: "Do you dare to use your head to guarantee that after the emperor returned to the palace, he really ordered such a rule?" ”
"The slave dares to use the head guarantee of the item!" Jia Shichun knelt down on his knees without thinking, kowtowed again, and said, "The Queen Mother can let someone go to Chengqian Palace to investigate." Since the Queen Mother and the emperor returned to the palace on September 13, the emperor has retired all the palace maids in front of him, and all the things should be done by the little fire people in the Chengqian Palace, and those palace maids can't get close to the emperor. For this, those palace maids were at a loss, but they didn't dare to complain for the time being. When things get bigger, then it's too late. ”
"This grumpy boy!"
Empress Dowager Zhang was angry, slapped the handrail hard, and only after a while did she instruct Jia Shichun: "You go, call all the eight palace people sent by the first emperor." ”
At this time, Rong Shangyi was ordered by Empress Dowager Zhang to check the newly made winter solstice court dress with the female officials of the Shangfu Bureau, and it was not in Renshou Palace, and several other female officials and palace people who were enthusiastic with Rong Shangyi were also transferred away one by one by Jia Shichun. Therefore, when he heard Empress Dowager Zhang's order, he was secretly overjoyed, but he agreed with a promise on his face, and when he withdrew from Dongnuan Pavilion, he put on the momentum of his own stewardship. After a while, eight palace people stood in a row in front of him.
Before, Zhu Houzhao took Xu Xun to disguise himself as a little eunuch, and went to the palace where the selected woman lived with Li Rong to walk around for a long time, and after coming back, he pulled eight people to the Empress Dowager Zhang's side, because Li Rong deliberately ordered someone to conceal it, and Rong Shangyi, who had a good relationship with Gao Feng, did not show his mouth at all, so Jia Shichun didn't know at all, only knew that Li Rong's idea was to let the Queen Mother pick out a few from these palace people and stuff them to Xu Xun. Despite this, he can perceive from the poor mood of the Empress Dowager Zhang these days, if such a thing is done, it will definitely make the Empress Dowager Zhang happy, as for the little emperor, he really can't care about it now.
He has already attracted the emperor's disgust, if he can't even grasp the life-saving straw of the queen mother, it will be over!
Therefore, looking at these palace people in front of him, he coughed lightly, and then said pretentiously: "When the Queen Mother summons me, they will all cheer up." There are so many people who have been elected to the palace with you, but you have this blessing. As long as you deal with it well, the next glory and wealth will be at your fingertips, but if you say the wrong thing...... Hey, you know the consequences! ”
"Yes, Grandpa Jia."
Seeing that the eight people curts, Jia Shichun turned around and walked inside without raising his chin. When he arrived in front of the East Warm Pavilion, he paused for a moment to make a announcement, and then he entered first. The eight people in the back, including Zhou Qiniang, had only seen the Empress Dowager Zhang when they arrived at Kunning Palace, but they were lined up in two rows to kowtow, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, let alone see the Queen Mother's face. After that, the Empress Dowager Zhang was busy moving the palace to Renshou Palace, busy up and down, they just followed, and there was no chance to show their faces in front of the Queen Mother, so when kneeling down and saluting at this moment, there was more than one person who seemed to be thinking about hot charcoal.
"See the Queen Mother!"
After the jagged voice, Empress Dowager Zhang asked people to retreat when she only saw one side last time, but gave an order to raise her head. Looking at this young face, remembering that when she was canonized as the crown princess, she was younger than them, and now after twenty years, her husband, who had promised Bai Shou to be inseparable, left first, she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then her eyes recovered, and she looked at it one by one.
At this time, Jia Shichun, who was standing on the side, took the opportunity to whisper: "Queen Mother, I heard that Rong Shangyi is quite attentive to them, and whether it is etiquette or rules, they are all carefully taught by example. Looking at Empress Dowager Zhang's expression, he followed Li Rong's instructions and explained quietly, "The one in the far corner on the right side of the second row is gentle and polite, and Rong Shangyi values it very much, and it is said that she also knows words, and Rong Shangyi asked her to help copy the list." ”
Hearing Jia Shichun say this, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but set her eyes on the palace maid he said. I saw that she was the same as everyone else, wearing a purple gold circle collar with narrow sleeves full of thorns and small sunflowers, a red skirt with beaded gold belts, bow-like shoes embroidered with small gold flowers, a beaded sideburns comb on her head, and two ears with hanging bead earrings. In addition, Rong Shangyi is the most useful female official around her, and she trusts her vision, and this look coupled with Jia Shichun's explanation, she has already scored eight points in her heart.
So, after glancing back and forth among the eight people, she picked out one more person, and she motioned to Jia Shichun to take the other six people out. At this time, she asked about the origin of the two. Hearing that Zhou Qiniang's father was the prisoner of the country, she suddenly became a little interested, and asked a few more words, from who is in the family, how to say that the female red is and then to the date of birth, although Zhou Qiniang replied cautiously, but over time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.
What does the Queen Mother mean by this?
After asking one by one, although she felt that the other palace person was a little too clever, she didn't think about it and didn't stay by her side, so she didn't have a theory for the time being, and immediately said: "You are all women from good families, and you have learned the rules of etiquette by my side, and you are also people who have seen the world." I have called you this time, because I intended to give you both to ......."
As soon as the words fell, a female official's voice came from outside: "Queen Mother, Mrs. Shouning Marquis asks to see you." ”
Hearing that it was Mrs. Shouninghou who came, Empress Dowager Zhang stopped at once when she reached the second half of her mouth. Among the two younger brothers, she has always been partial to her younger brother Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling, but among the two younger siblings, she values Mrs. Ninghou more seriously. After all, Mrs. Shouninghou would never complain to her eldest sister because of the concubine in the family, not to mention that Zhang Jingxuan often went to the palace at the beginning, which also eased the relationship between her and Zhu Houzhao a lot, plus Zhu Houzhao had been taking care of her younger brother and nephew for a long time, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and she didn't pay attention to Jia Shichun's disappointment, and ordered him to take his two daughters out, and asked people to invite Mrs. Shouninghou in.
However, Jia Shichun intended to listen to what Mrs. Shouninghou said, went out and came back in, and moved the brocade with the appearance of a subordinate, and sure enough, the next moment, Mrs. Shouninghou entered the house with a spring breeze on her face, and after saluting with a smile, she sat straight on the brocade according to the habit of Ping.
"Queen Mother, today I took Jing Xuan to Huguo Temple, Jing Xuan's girl was so angry that she secretly went to Chongguo Temple Street to watch the temple fair, and it turned out to be a big coincidence, she actually bumped into Ping Beibo's fiancée."
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned at Mrs. Shouninghou's barrage of words, and was about to reprimand her for not indulging her daughter, when she suddenly realized the meaning of the last sentence, and stood up in surprise: "Fiancée? What fiancée? ”
"Oh, the Queen Mother doesn't remember, when this Pingbei Uncle didn't recognize his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, his adoptive father once set a family affair for him, but at that time, Zhao Qin bullied and forced him to marry the Shen family, and the Shen girl voted on the Wende Bridge to the Qinhuai River, who knew that there would be a blessing after the catastrophe, she actually found the capital. Fortunately, Ping Beibo is also a kind and righteous person, and he has been waiting for her to say ...... now"
"Stop, you stop first!" Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand to stop Mrs. Shouninghou's tirade, frowned and thought for a while before she asked suspiciously, "How do you know that she is Xu Xun's fiancée Shen?" Besides, it was Jing Xuan who bumped into her, Jing Xuan's surname has always been in the eyes of no one, how could she talk to her? ”
After Mrs. Shouning Hou discussed with Xu Xun first, she had already arranged that Empress Dowager Zhang would ask such a question. Today's matter in Huguo Temple is too big, and it can be concealed from Zhang Heling, who has always been rough, but in case the ears and eyes in the palace reach the ears of Empress Dowager Zhang, if she and Xu Xun collude well, the caliber will be unified, and people will have no place to speak. Seeing that the eyes of the Supreme Mother of the Nation were sharp and piercing, she glanced at Jia Shichun calmly, and Empress Dowager Zhang immediately drove the dull-faced Jia Shichun down with knowledge.
"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!"
Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang's face was not good, Mrs. Shouninghou thought that Empress Dowager Zhang was angry because Zhang Jingxuan sneaked out, and hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, you know Jingxuan's girl's temper, that is, the surname who can't be idle, thinking about running out all day long, today in order to go to the temple fair, she also broke away from the two girls around her, and I don't know how to change into plain clothes and slip out." As a result, she met a few disciples at the temple fair, but fortunately, she met the Shen girl who saw that the road was uneven and beat people away. ”
This matter in the West Factory, Zhong Qianhu promised to try to fulfill the lie, and besides, this kind of thing is indispensable at every temple fair, Mrs. Shouninghou is naturally not worried about being found out, and her mouth is smoother: "Although Jingxuan is arrogant, this level is always known, so she pulled people to talk for a while, and happened to meet Pingbeibo, only then did she know that she had just arrived in the capital to see Pingbeibo." Ping Beibo said that his fiancée had suffered so much grievance and wanted to ask the emperor for marriage, I thought that she was finally kind to Jingxuan, and it was not reasonable for the emperor to take care of this kind of thing, so I volunteered to come to the queen mother. ”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang only felt that she hadn't come back to her senses for a long time. I was worried about the fact that the two of them acted in a mold, and they were both single, and Xu Xun's fiancée was sent to the door like this, is this sleepy touching the pillow?
