Chapter 338: Audience
Crown Princess Chen, a native of Tongzhou, father Chen Ke, Gongsheng, mother He, the daughter of the Juren, Chengping was elected as the crown princess for ten years, knowledgeable, excellent appearance, successively gave birth to three sons for the prince, Chengping 20 years of palace changes, the princess and the three imperial grandsons were trapped in Zhongcui Palace, starved to death.
It is said that before her death, the crown princess had cut meat and fed her son.
Dou Zhao silently walked on the road to Zhong Cui Palace, his chest as if he was pressed by a big stone.
Song Mo quietly shook her hand and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, the crown prince and the crown princess are both very good talkers." ”
Dou Zhao took a long breath, smiled at Song Mo, and said softly: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”
Song Mo nodded, but the worry between his eyebrows did not dissipate.
He couldn't help but secretly think, Dou Zhao may be pregnant, and in the first three months of the most critical period, he can't sit in a sedan chair in the palace, is it not appropriate to bring Dou Zhao to the princess to say goodbye at this time...... But if you don't come, you will inevitably be suspected of being disrespectful. When the crown princess is in the world, Dou Zhao, the lady of the third grade, has to enter the palace every year to greet the queen and the queen mother and others, who dares to guarantee that today's princess and tomorrow's queen mother will not wear small shoes for Dou Zhao.
It hurts to think about him.
I have to think of a way to let Dou Zhao enter the palace less in the future.
The two of them had their own hearts and minds, and silently followed the chamberlain into the East Palace.
Cui Yijun, the great eunuch beside the prince, was already waiting at the gate of the East Palace.
He was in his thirties, thin and elegant, with a gentle smile, respectful and calm to them, and very generous.
Dou Zhao had only heard of this person, and she was a human being in two lives, and it was the first time she had dealt with him.
In his previous life, the crown prince was shot, and he escorted the crown princess and the three imperial grandsons to escape from the East Palace. wanted to go to Cining Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for help, but was shot by Jin Wuwei at that time, and the crown princess and the three imperial grandsons were also trapped in Zhongcui Palace.
Dou Zhao looked at Cui Yijun, who was greeting Song Mo, and his mood was very strange.
Cui Yijun suddenly looked over, and bowed his head towards her with a smile in his eyes, gentle and elegant, like a scholar who reads poetry and books, where is there a little bit of the humility of a eunuch.
Dou Zhao thought of Wang Yuan.
Kind eyebrows and kind eyes, like an open-minded elder. In fact, he is narrow-minded more narrow-minded than anyone else, and he will repay him.
She couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It can be seen that no matter who you are, if you are at the top, you are not an idle person, and you can't judge people by their appearance.
Dou Zhao didn't dare to be sloppy. Bent his knees slightly and bowed to Cui Yijun.
Cui Yijun was very surprised, but soon his expression was as usual, and he invited Song Mo and Dou Zhao into the East Palace with a kind smile.
Song Mo followed Cui Yijun to the front hall, and a palace maid led Dou Zhao to the side hall where the princess lived on weekdays.
This was the first time Dou Zhao had seen the crown princess.
She was in the prime of her life at this time, with a slender figure and a homely royal blue makeup sleeve jacket. Such as the pearl morning dew, delicate and beautiful.
Dou Zhao lowered his eyelids after a glance and respectfully saluted the crown princess.
The crown princess instructed the palace maid next to her to bring Dou Zhao a brocade, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Beilou Dou clan is a famous family in Beizhili. When I saw Mrs. Dou today, I realized that what I said was true. ”
One sentence has moved Dou Zhao slightly.
The woman is married, and the husband's surname is crowned. But if the mother's family is prominent. If you have a fate, you will usually call her Mrs. by her maiden name. Just like the Jiang family back then, because she was born in the Dingguo Mansion and was the Duchess of the British Mansion, the people of Kyoto called her "Madame Chiang", not the British Duchess.
The crown princess's words not only promoted Dou Zhao, but also complimented the Dou family, no wonder she has the reputation of "knowing and reasoning".
"Thank you for your love." Dou Zhao got up and thanked him humbly.
"You don't have to be inhibited." The crown princess smiled and asked Dou Zhao to sit down and speak, "If you enter the palace more times in the future, you will know that I am the most easy-going here." ”
There are many different people in the palace, and Wang Yuan often says that he is the most easy-going.
Dou Zhao slandered in his heart, and said "yes" with a smile.
The two of them talked about homely things.
One is kind, the other is hearted, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of footsteps outside.
Dou Zhao was secretly surprised.
The footsteps were getting closer, mixed with anxious whispers.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, slow down."
Through the warm curtain of the side hall, a small bright yellow figure came in.
"Mother, mother," the figure threw herself into the crown princess's arms, "look, I caught a sparrow." ”
The white and tender little hands, holding a gray bird, held up the princess as if to invite merit.
The crown princess frowned slightly, but her voice was still soft, and said, "Why are you so naughty?" Don't let you play tricks on those golden pheasants, you go to catch sparrows again. Didn't I tell you that every drink and peck must be a godsend, and you must not hurt these little things......"
The child lowered his head sullenly and let out a soft "oh".
Dou Zhao looked at the appearance of the child who was only five or six years old, and knew that this was the emperor's eldest grandson.
She smiled and got up to salute the emperor's grandson.
The child looked at her strangely.
The crown princess said: "This is the wife of the prince of the British Mansion. ”
The child's eyes immediately lit up like the sun.
"You are Song Yantang's wife," he looked around Dou Zhao, as if she was something strange, "You are not as beautiful as Song Yantang, how could he marry you?" When Song Yantang was twelve years old, he won the first place in Qiuwei, and now I also learn to ride and shoot with my master, and my grandfather said that I can also participate in Qiuwei next year......"
She is not as beautiful as Song Yantang......
Dou Zhao was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Shou'er, don't be rude!" The crown princess's face sank, and she said, "Don't apologize to Mrs. Dou soon!" ”
How dare Dou Zhao let the emperor's eldest grandson apologize to himself, and said with a smile: "The emperor's eldest grandson is innocent and lively, the crown princess doesn't have to be too harsh." ”
The crown princess's expression was slightly gloomy, and she sighed, but she didn't insist that her son apologize to Dou Zhao, taught the emperor's eldest grandson a few words, and asked the emperor's eldest grandson who served beside her to go back to the warm pavilion of the apse to study: "...... Your imperial grandfather will check your homework in a few days, and be careful that you will be punished for kneeling if you can't answer. ”
The emperor's eldest grandson shuddered for a moment, obviously revealing fear.
He snuggled up to his mother's side, staggering, reluctant to leave.
The crown princess shook her head with a smile, and her doting color was overflowing. Instructed the palace maid to give the new dim sum offered by the imperial dining room a few days ago to the imperial grandson.
The palace maid smiled and bent her knees to "yes".
The crown princess thought for a while, and then said, "Bring some back for Mrs. Dou to taste." ”
Dou Zhao hurriedly got up and thanked him.
The palace maid went and came in with a snack.
There is a burst of osmanthus fragrance wafting in the side hall.
I don't know why, Dou Zhao's chest sank, and he was about to vomit.
She took a deep breath and swallowed the discomfort in her chest.
Who knew that the crown princess was stroking her chest, covering her mouth, and wanting to spit it out.
Qi Qiqi, who served in the house, changed color, shouted "Niangniang", and hurriedly took the bowl over.
The crown princess spit out with a "wow".
Dou Zhao's turbidity in his chest was tumbling. Hurriedly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth.
The palace maid noticed her strange appearance and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Dou, what's wrong with you?" ”
Dou Zhao didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would spit it out with one mouth, and shook his head at the palace maid.
The palace maid was very shrewd. Hurriedly took a bowl to Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao let out a "wow" and vomited.
The crown princess was stunned, rinsed her mouth with warm water, and asked Dou Zhao: "How long have you been married?" ”
Dou Zhao said: "It's been almost three months. ”
The crown princess laughed and said, "Are you pregnant?" The smile is no longer polite and polite just now, but has been smiling cordially and happily.
Dou Zhao's heart moved, and said, "There are no elders in the concubine's family. I don't know. ”
The crown princess was slightly stunned, and then instructed the palace maid beside her: "Go, invite Mrs. Wu in." ”
Dou Zhao rinsed his mouth under the service of the palace maid.
A steady forty-year-old woman followed the maid in.
The crown princess instructed the woman: "You check the pulse of the British princess." ”
The woman respectfully said "yes", and the palace maid took the pulse pillow and brought the coffee table and put the brocade pestle over.
Dou Zhao stretched out his hand and checked the woman's pulse.
The crown princess introduced the woman to her: "...... It was introduced by Concubine Shi. Shou'er and Fu'er were all born by her. ”
Concubine Shi is the girl of the Hou Shi family in Changxing.
Dou Zhao politely called "Mama Wu".
Mrs. Wu even said "don't dare", and smiled and motioned for her to change hands.
The side hall fell silent.
The voice of the emperor's eldest grandson was exceptionally crisp and loud: "Mother, is Mrs. Dou also sick?" ”
The crown princess gently touched her son's head. Softly told him: "Don't speak, Mrs. Wu is checking Mrs. Dou's pulse!" ”
The emperor's eldest grandson's mouth was tightly pursed. Snuggled in the arms of the crown princess.
Mrs. Wu withdrew her hand and got up, respectfully blessed the crown princess, and said softly: "The pulse is like a ball, and Mrs. Dou is pregnant." ”
It was expected, and now that he heard the doctor's words of affirmation, Dou Zhao was still a little excited.
The crown princess even smiled and said: "This dare is good, but there is a companion." ”
Dou Zhao pretended to be surprised.
The crown princess smiled: "I'm pregnant too!" However, the month is still light, and the queen mother and the queen mother have not yet knew. ”
Her face bloomed with a quiet but compelling glow like the bright moon.
This is the joy of motherhood, right?
Dou Zhao sincerely said "congratulations".
"Rejoice, rejoice!" The crown princess smiled slightly, as if she had peeled off another mask, and seeing that Dou Zhao's eyes were warm and with a bit of intimacy, she instructed the palace maid, "Go and tell the prince of England, so that the prince will be happy and happy." ”
The palace maid smiled and left.
The snacks were sprinkled, and the palace maids came in with fruit pots with apples, citrons, and bergamots.
The smell of fruit wafted through the room.
The crown princess was silent thoughtfully for a moment, and said with a smile: "The prince is too careless, why did you let you enter the palace at this time?" In this way, Mama Wang next to me is very good at taking care of people, I will ask her to live in your house for a few days, and help you bring out two old women, and you will have someone to take care ......of you in the future."
Dou Zhao's forehead was sweating.
The crown princess obviously knew her affairs very well, thinking that there were no elders in the British government and her mother's family, and they didn't understand these things about birth and rearing, so she sent a grandmother who knew how to give birth and raise to the house to guide the people around her, which was a great gift, but it was also a trouble - from now on, how could they get rid of the prince and the prince?
Dou Zhao hurriedly smiled: "How dare you work on the grandmother next to the mother!" The concubine just didn't know for a while, but the mother's family got the good news and wanted to send someone to take care of the concubine. ”
may offend the crown princess, but it's better than getting involved in the heir!
