Chapter 14 Meetings
Wang Xiangqin changed his disdain and arrogance, his face was full of goodwill smiles, Ying Ying stood on the left side of Zhu Youjiao, Zhang Erzhen came over one step back, lowered his head and obediently followed Zhu Youzhang's right, and the three of them slowly entered Renshou Palace.
The yellow glazed tile roof is equipped with two thick pine pillars, the hall is open and bright, the head has sat a kind old lady, wearing a black wide-sleeved palace dress with a high placket, embellished with yin red embroidery, the dark lines on the clothes are dark ink and bright color silk threads, the queen mother holds a gilt stove, and the hand is decorated with a green jade ring, and looks at Zhu Youjiao's instrument with a kind face.
On the right side of the Queen Mother sat an emperor dressed in a bright yellow double dragon embroidered dress, wearing a black gauze folded scarf, the corners of his eyes were blue, and his eyes were sharp. Zhang Erzhen only entered the palace door and raised his feet when he took a bold look, and several women sitting on both sides were all luxurious and abnormal, dignified and dignified, and a few children who were originally sitting on both sides stood up, and after Zhu Youzhu and his party saluted, they all greeted the prince with peace.
Zhu Youzhu stood tall and jade, the two little wives on both sides knelt on the ground and did not get up, Zhang Erzhen only felt that the filigree silver ear pendant decorated in her ears shook lightly a few times, she stared at the smooth and shiny slight black shadow on the white jade ground, and felt the solemnity of the bigwigs of Renshou Palace** couldn't help but tremble lightly The petite body, my God, the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Crown Princess, the big guys are all there.
"Raise your head and show the mournersβ"
The Queen Mother's gentle and kind voice floated in, and Zhang Erzhen raised her head boldly and looked straight over. The Queen Mother looked at Wang Xiangqin first, and said with a smile: "Xiangqin's appearance hasn't changed, she is still so smart, and she looks much similar to the queen." β
The beautiful woman in the palace under the head of the queen mother laughed, and Zhang Erzhen, who was full of jade beads, flashed slightly, and only heard the queen say: "The concubine thinks that the queen mother is a concubine, Qin'er, the child originally grew up in the palace, and now that she is back, she has to disturb the queen mother again." Wang Xiangqin was shy.
The emperor leaned on the palace chair of sandalwood and soft cotton, looked at the two new daughters-in-law at random, and was slightly stunned when he floated past Zhang Erzhen's delicate and pretty little face, Zhang Erzhen felt the hot and fierce gaze of the saint move away, and said in a deep voice: "You can also focus on government affairs now, and you must not slack off." The emperor nodded and said to the two daughters-in-law who were still kneeling: "You two only need to abide by a few things, and you don't need to worry about the others, you have your own princess to manage." Get up. β
"Yes. The two of them replied in unison that Zhang Erzhen was fine, and she didn't plan to fight for power for the time being, but the faces of the queen and Wang Xiangqin were a little unsightly. On one side of the queen sat Wan Guifei in a Hunan red makeup and satin palace robe, the feet of the robe decorated with glass beads fell softly, and the red robe was embroidered with large golden red peonies, and the thin silver thread outlined the exquisite outline, Yongrong was luxurious, but it also faintly revealed the extremely slender figure of the maintenance. The onion fingers are adorned with armor made of cold jade, inlaid with several pigeon's blood rubies, carved into the shape of Manju Sahua. There was a delicate and moving little girl sitting next to Wan Guifei, who was about the crown princess Wan Xian'er, Wan Guifei intimately took Wan Xian'er's hand and smiled: "Look, your father is still facing you, don't thank you soon." β
Wan Xian'er hurriedly got up and thanked her, Zhang Erzhen felt that Wan Xian'er, who was so in a hurry, was a little childish. The indifference in the queen mother's eyes flashed, but the emperor didn't realize it, and asked the princess to get up with a smile. The emperor was busy with government affairs, and he left ahead of schedule with the prince as soon as he said that there were still affairs in the previous dynasty. Zhu Youzhu had no nostalgia when he left, and he didn't even give Concubine Zhen a look. Everyone sent the emperor away, the seat also changed, the queen sat on the right side of the head, called Wang Xiangqin to step forward, the queen looked at her niece's tender face, and smiled at the queen mother: "Queen Mother, look, Qin'er will be hanging in front of her all day in the future, don't be annoyed." β
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, put down the small stove she was holding in her hand, and pinched a string of wagtail beads in her hand: "It's two side concubines who enter the door today, why do you only care about one?"
The queen seemed to remember, let go of Wang Xiangqin's hand, turned to Zhang Erzhen, nodded with satisfaction: "In the end, it is the queen mother who you are going to come in person, look at it is Shui Ling, but she is a little younger." "For a while, we can't reproduce for the royal family.
Concubine Wan also turned her attention to Zhang Erzhen, and her voice was harmonious: "Look at it, Xian'er, you have to take good care of this sister in the future." Wan Xian'er hurriedly said yes, Wan Guifei nodded with satisfaction, touched the bright Kodan on her nails and said slowly: "You two are now living together in the Duanben Palace, you must serve the prince well, you can't make trouble for the princess, you can't be jealous and make the mansion restless, if you know it to the palace, you will never spare it! The princess is a concubine, since you have entered the palace, you must abide by your duty, you must not trespass, and the rules must always be kept!" Ruthless, Zhang Erzhen still didn't care, obediently it should be, Wan Guifei smiled with satisfaction, and stroked Kodan proudly. The queen's face was pale, and Wang Xiangqin responded very reluctantly, the queen mother didn't seem to see Wan Guifei's arrogance, and said to the side in a gentle voice: "Wanhua, Xianyou, accompany me to the palace to sit down, you all disperse." β
Wanhua and Xianyou are both princesses, one is four years old and the other is six years old, the pink carved jade Zhuo is extremely cute, the two princesses can't sit still for a long time, they ran forward to support the queen mother, said goodbye to the queen, and left first.
The queen seemed to be tired and said: "That's it for now, let's talk about the rest tomorrow." "Motioned Wan Xian'er to go back with the two princes and concubines, today is the day of the wedding, and there is still a lot of work at night.
Wan Guifei patted Wan Xian'er's hand, and left with a casual salute to the queen, the queen's face became more and more ugly, and she left with a handkerchief, leaving a few juniors to send the bigwigs away. When the queen's figure disappeared, Wan Xian'er's original appearance disappeared, and she walked through the two beautiful "sisters" and said, "Let's go back too, there is a younger sister who has to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at night, so go back early and prepare." β
Zhang Erzhen followed behind the slender and slender Wan Xian'er, only to feel that this day had passed very long, blowing and blowing in the morning, and then she experienced the open guns and hidden arrows ignoring the irony. Zhang Erzhen thought as she walked, did she remember wrongly, why did the costume dramas she watched only go to meet the elders of those shy little daughters-in-law the next morning?
Go back and still sit on the cloth, Wan Xian'er raised her slender and white neck, and didn't even look at them, Wang Xiangqin was proud, tilted her head and looked elsewhere, Zhang Erzhen sat stupidly on the back cloth, thinking about whether she was too unfilial, looking at Fang Caishengshang's haggard and old appearance, not like a portrait of longevity, maybe she would die in front of his old lady, the current queen mother.
Returned to Duanben Palace very smoothly, the night had darkened, Wan Xian'er floated back to her Qingyun Pavilion, not even a look left, Zhang Erzhen walked back to Ningyun Pavilion a little tired, Mingyue hurriedly came up and grabbed Zhang Erzhen, who was about to remove her makeup, and whispered: "Girl, don't you dare to sleep at this time, you haven't eaten yet, and the prince hasn't rested yet." β
Zhang Erzhen paused the hand attached to his sideburns and asked, "Where is the rice?"
The nurse said with a panicked face: "My side concubine, you can't eat by yourself now, you have to go to Qingyun Palace to serve the crown princess." β
"But I just entered the palace today, didn't I?"
"Then you have to go too, the princess has already set up a meal, you have to go. The nurse took Zhang Erzhen's hand and said bitterly: "Before the princess spoke, you have to go over and wait, you can't let her find the reason to find our stubble, I just saw that Concubine Qin's people entered the Ziyun Pavilion with food, let's go to Qingyun Palace to establish rules." β
Zhang Erzhen sat down tiredly, pulled the nurse with her backhand to sit down, and said: "Since the people in Ziyun Pavilion are not going, I am the only one who goes, what do they think of me? Do you think I am the princess or the concubine? β
The nurse saw the serious relationship between the superiors and subordinates in the palace, and she was still worried: "What if the crown princess takes the opportunity to punish you?"
Zhang Erzhen clenched her small fist and smashed her neck that was crushed by the phoenix crown and said with a smile: "Except for the Queen Mother and the Emperor, we only take care of the prince, and nothing else cares about what he does." Nurse, what can I do with my food?"
The nurse was still worried, but she was also distressed that the girl had not eaten water and rice for a busy day, so she hurriedly went out to order the kitchen to get food. The East Palace is the residence of the prince and has a special kitchen. Mingyue gently pounded Zhang Erzhen's shoulder, and pressed it again for a while, Zhang Erzhen closed her eyes comfortably, she didn't feel hungry, and went to Renshou Palace, what seven emotions and six desires were gone, Zhang Erzhen had her mind again, no matter what, Zhu Youzhen was determined to take the throne smoothly, she didn't want to be ignored like this today, except for bowing her head and chin head, there was only a promise left.
The food in the palace is quite exquisite, the containers are all gold and jade, Zhang Erzhen had a full meal in the nurse's anxious eyes, and was ready to walk around in his palace to consume food, or the nurse pulled and did not let him go out, only resting and eating in the hall, and when he entered the palace on the first day today, he naturally could not run to eat and drink soup.
The nurse had already bribed a little father-in-law, and when she learned that the prince was back, the nurse pulled Zhang Erzhen and began to tidy up her clothes and hair again, Zhang Erzhen was resting with her eyes closed, and she was a little irritable in her heart, and she grabbed the nurse's hand tightly and asked: "Nurse, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Erzhen's eyes were misty and confused, and the nurse sighed again, sitting on the cotton pier on one side and said slowly: "I'm worried about the girl...... , followed in the footsteps of Concubine Ji. β
Zhang Erzhen became more and more puzzled, and the nurse said: "You have the crown princess and the concubine Qin side above, and Chenghui and Zhaoxun below, if you ...... What can I do in the future?"
Zhang Erzhen knew that the nurse was thinking about the left, so she took it with a smile: "If you lose the prince's interest, what can you do in the future?"
