157 relative (two more)
Mama Xu was stunned, and hurriedly followed, the pace was too urgent, and her expression was a little more impatient and lost her manners.
Lan Ruoruo pulled the corners of her mouth as if she didn't see it, her posture was straight, her eyes didn't squint, and she just didn't see it.
The three of them walked all the way east from Shouning Palace, passing through many magnificent pavilions and pavilions along the way.
In the middle of summer, the palace is like a huge furnace, and even the air is so hot that it seems to be burning.
Mama Xu looked at Chu Qianchen as she walked, and deliberately asked her, "The princess is the third time to enter the palace, right?" ”
Chu Qianchen simply said "um".
Mama Xu's chin was raised, and she and Chu Qianhuang were both girls from the Hou Mansion, but Chu Qianhuang often went in and out of the palace since she was a child, and now she is the companion of the three princesses, and she can be regarded as a famous name among the nobles in Beijing, and if this Chu Qianchen is not ordinary, I am afraid that I will not even have the opportunity to see Fengyan in this life!
Mama Xu smiled contemptuously in her heart, and then said: "Princess, don't be afraid, the queen mother is generous, even if you have shortcomings, the lady has a lot, and she will not care about you." ”
"As long as the princess is respectful, the queen mother knows people's hearts and understands them very well."
“……”
Mama Xu chattered and said a little, listening to tolerance, but all the words were about raising the queen and belittling Chu Qianchen, and the words were that Chu Qianchen didn't understand the rules and etiquette.
Chu Qianchen's left ear went in and out of his right ear, he didn't bother to pay attention to the other party at all, and he didn't say a word again.
As for what tricks Mama Xu was playing, Lan Ruo knew best in her heart, in the past, the queen used similar tricks to treat those concubines who had just received the holy favor.
It's a pity that the queen's efforts are in vain this time, and this princess is a leader in all kinds of things, and her methods are far more clever than the queen, and the queen's little tricks are not in the stream at all.
Thinking about what happened to her when she first arrived at the Yongding Marquis Mansion, Lan Ruo's eyes changed brightly and secretly, and probably only Mama Yan could understand her feelings.
Ay!
Lan Ruo didn't know how many times she sighed in her heart, and when she came back to her senses, she found that they had already arrived at Fengluan Palace.
A little chamberlain hurriedly went in and greeted the queen, and then came out, and said with a smile: "Princess, please, the queen mother still has a few concubines and princesses waiting for you inside." ”
Chu Qianchen just bowed slightly, and calmly followed Mama Xu into the west room.
In the west room, there was a room of female dependents, with fragrant clothes and sideburns, and jewels.
Half of them are the female dependents of the clan that Chu Qianchen has just seen in the Taimiao, and the remaining half of the people are the ancestors of the royal palaces, such as Prince Li, Princess Shun, etc., and the other part is the female dependents of noble and prominent families.
As soon as Chu Qianchen came, all eyes were on her, some were scrutinized, some were pitying, some were ridiculing, and some were indifferent......
The queen sitting on the phoenix throne looked down at Chu Qianchen from above, her red lips pursed slightly, and her expression was a little cold.
The emperor lost face in the Taimiao today, as soon as King Chen left, the emperor also ordered to drive back to the palace, and as soon as he got on the dragon chariot, he was furious, and even the queen was angered a few words.
The queen also felt that King Chen was too arrogant, the king was the king, the minister was the minister, to put it bluntly, King Chen was just relying on the favor of the first emperor, and Chi Di had just been defeated, so he would be so arrogant, dare to support the army and respect himself, and commit the following crimes.
It's time for King Chen to learn some lessons.
The emperor deliberately announced that Chu Qianchen was coming, because he had the intention of beating Chu Qianchen in public, so as to demonstrate to King Chen.
The queen looked at Chu Qianchen who was walking towards this side, and her eyes deepened.
The young bride has a face that can be called the whole country and the city, her steps are unhurried, she smiles lightly, and ignores the burning eyes around her.
The queen suddenly felt that the bright and elegant little girl in front of her was different from the cowardly maid in her memory, and subconsciously held the armrest of the phoenix seat.
A palace maid in Tsing Yi quickly put a futon more than a foot away from the phoenix seat.
The meaning of this futon placed there is obvious, it is to let Chu Qianchen kneel and bow to the queen.
The Great Qi Dynasty has always had a clear distinction between class respect and inferiority, and it also attaches great importance to etiquette, but it has not reached the point where courtiers and women are required to kneel at every turn.
Most of the foreign wives present and the noble ladies of the clan were also smart people, and they could see the queen's intentions.
Husband and wife are one, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
Several princesses quietly exchanged glances, thinking of the duel between the emperor and King Chen when they were in the Taimiao just now.
Obviously, the queen is trying to suppress Chu Qianchen, so how will this Princess Chen respond?!
In Fengluan Palace, there was silence, some people made a gesture to drink tea, some people wiped the corners of their mouths with handkerchiefs, and some people stroked the beads on their sideburns...... Everyone was distracted and paid attention to Chu Qianchen, waiting quietly.
Soon, Chu Qianchen's pace stopped and stopped in front of the futon.
Mama Xu walked past Chu Qianchen, walked to the queen, and deliberately said, "Queen Mother, the slave maid brought Princess Chen." ”
Chu Qianchen bent her knees slightly, and everyone had a feeling in their hearts that this was really the case, thinking that she would kneel.
No, Chu Qianchen just casually blessed the queen, "See the queen's mother." ”
As soon as the last word fell, she straightened up on her own.
“……”
“……”
“……”
The queen's face turned white, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, and several women who were drinking tea were almost choked by the tea in their mouths, and their facial features were slightly distorted.
Probably only Lan Ruo was not surprised.
At this moment, Lan Ruo wished that everyone would forget her existence and stood behind Chu Qianchen like a shadow.
Chu Qianchen didn't care about what everyone thought of it, and looked around calmly.
There was a vacant seat between Princess Jianli and Princess Shun, and Chu Qianchen took it for granted that this son should be for her, so she walked over and sat down elegantly.
In the hall, there was silence, and everyone's eyes were glued to Chu Qianchen, and most of them didn't react.
No one thought that this little Hou Mansion would be so bold.
The ladies either frowned, or showed expressions of amazement, or cast scrutinizing glances, or smiled.
The second daughter of the Marquis of Yongding is unfamiliar to everyone present, and the name Chu Qianchen will never appear in the banquets of various mansions, she is just an insignificant concubine who can't be on the stage.
If the Marquis of Yongding is prosperous, she still has some value of marriage, but who doesn't know that the Marquis of Yongding has been deteriorating since the first emperor and is no longer favored.
If it weren't for the emperor's decree to let her give King Chen Chongxi, she would definitely not be qualified to become Princess Chen.
Some people feel that Chu Qianchen doesn't know how to lift, some people wait and see, and some people stare at Chu Qianchen thoughtfully, such as Princess Shun.
Princess Shun heard her daughter Changning County Lord say that Chu Qianchen had a convincing good archery technique, and in the Furong Garden, he even shot the assassin who assassinated the prince of Nanhao with one arrow.
Also, when Emperor Taimiao and Gu Jue were facing each other-for-tat, many people were shocked and a little out of shape, but Chu Qianchen was calm from beginning to end.
Princess Shun didn't care about it at that time, but when she thought about it at this moment, she couldn't help but secretly marvel in her heart.
At this moment, when she looked at Chu Qianchen again, her eyes became solemn.
This princess Chen is generous and generous, and her bearing is extraordinary, and there is no cringe and cowardice that an ordinary concubine will have, and this young girl may be very unusual.
The queen's face was even worse, and the blue tendons on her forehead jumped slightly.
Before today, the queen had only seen Chu Qianchen on Halloween, and at that time, her biggest impression of this little girl who didn't even dare to say much was cowardice and weakness.
But now it seems that this girl is clearly very presumptuous!
The crown princess frowned, and asked the queen knowingly, "Ninth brother and sister, why did you sit down?!" ”
Another beautiful woman who was nearly thirty years old and wore a Qizhai crown on her head intended to please the queen, and seized the opportunity to train Chu Qianchen: "Princess Chen, you don't know the rules too much, why don't you salute when you see the queen!" ”
Princess Shen Yun of Jingjun was also there, her expression slightly condensed.
Chu Qianchen looked at the beautiful woman very calmly, in fact, she didn't know the other party, and when she saw that the other party was wearing a Qizhai crown, she said: "Princess Jun, I saluted the queen's mother, didn't you doze off just now?" ”
Lan Ruo guessed that Chu Qianchen might not recognize the other party, and said in his ear: "This is the princess of Zhuangjun." ”
What's with what?! Princess Cheng was so angry that her face turned pale, and she blurted out: "Reversing black and white, it is clear that you did not give a big gift to the queen!" ”
Chu Qianchen stroked his sleeves and sighed: "It's best for the princess of the county to follow her grandmother to learn the etiquette system again, so as not to let people see jokes outside." ”
"Three kneels and nine prostrations are only to heaven, earth, king, teacher, and father." Chu Qianchen earnestly taught, "The queen mother has always been kind, why don't you ask the mother to reward you with a nurturing grandmother and learn the rules and etiquette." ”
In fact, the queen asked Chu Qianchen to set up a futon to make Chu Qianchen kneel and bow to the first ceremony, but Chu Qianchen deliberately interpreted the "big gift" said by Princess Zhuangjun as three kneeling and nine bowing.
Princess Zhuangjun was speechless for a while, and said in her heart that this concubine was really treacherous.
Feeling that the eyes of other people around her were on her, Princess Zhuangjun felt that her face was hot, where was she willing to suffer this loss, and said forcefully: "Clever tongue!" You are clearly using the topic to play. ”
If she really brought a nurturing grandmother from the palace back to the county king's mansion, then she would lose face today, and she would simply steal chickens and rice!
"Excuse the question?" Chu Qianchen smiled playfully, and deliberately looked at the queen on the phoenix throne, and his eyes turned meaningfully on the queen's face.
Hey, everyone has said so, if she doesn't "use the topic to play", wouldn't it be too disappointing to others!
Chu Qianchen looked at Princess Zhuang County with a condescending look, and asked idly, "Princess County...... No, why don't you bow to me, niece? ”
In terms of grade, Chu Qianchen is the princess, and Princess Zhuang is just the princess of the county.
In terms of seniority, King Zhuangjun's grandfather was the cousin of the first emperor, and Princess Zhuangjun should have called Chu Qianchen an aunt.
Whether it is according to the national rite or the family rite, the princess of Zhuangjun should salute her.
Princess Zhuangjun was disrespectful to her elders, and she should make a bow.
Chu Qianchen's words are reasonable, and people can't find fault with them.
She married Gu Jue, her wife is valued by her husband, her identity and seniority are all rising, and even the crown princess is her junior.
"......" Princess Zhuangjun's face turned blue for a while, and she was really white.
At her age, she can almost be Chu Qianchen's mother, let her kowtow to such a yellow-haired girl in public, she really can't do it.
She was so angry that her chest tightened, but now if she didn't kowtow and salute, it would be a slap in the face.
Moreover, even if she kneels, she won't be able to get well, next, is it the turn of the crown princess to salute Chu Qianchen, the imperial aunt?
It's really developed to this point, isn't she going to be hated by the crown princess?
Princess Zhuangjun was so confused that she didn't know what to do for a while.
Chu Qianchen was very casual, and said with a smile: "Nephew, do you want to greet me?" ”
Anyway, the prince has a high seniority, so he doesn't need to use it in vain.
She just can't help her if she eats it, so what?!
The smile on Chu Qianchen's face deepened, and his eyebrows and eyes were curved like a crescent moon, which was in stark contrast to the stunned expressions of the others around him.
