Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sister-in-law
Queen Pei recuperated all year round and did not see outsiders. Mrs. Yong'an Hou is an exception.
In a month, Mrs. Yong'an Hou always has to enter the palace to ask for peace once or twice. If there is a reward in the palace, Mrs. Yong'an Hou will enter the palace to thank her. Therefore, it is common for Mrs. Yong'an Hou to enter the palace.
handed over the post, waited at the palace gate for half an hour, and woad came.
"The slave has seen the lady." Woad saluted respectfully.
Xianglan used to be the son of the Pei family, but now she is the female official in charge of the Jiaofang Palace.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou smiled kindly: "Miss Xianglan, please get up quickly." ”
Xiang Lan led the way, and Mrs. Yong'an Hou walked beside Xiang Lan, as if unintentionally smiling and asked, "Why does the queen mother suddenly have such a reward?" The Pei family was flattered. ”
This is asking if Empress Pei has been abnormal recently.
Sheadan replied softly: "Niangniang was sick last year, although she was careful to raise her, the phoenix body is still weak and has a poor appetite. After rewarding Miss Pei Wu and Miss Cheng, Niangniang's mood improved. ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou frowned.
Empress Pei was depressed and sick, and often didn't say a word all day. It's not uncommon for food to be hard to swallow. In order to coax Queen Pei to show her face, she had to do this.
Cheng Jinrong's departure from Pei's Mansion must not be known to Queen Pei!
Mrs. Yong'an Hou whispered a few words. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately returned to normal, nodding slightly.
Both inside and outside the Jiaofang Hall are under the control of her and Qing Dai. It's not difficult to hide from Queen Pei.
……
Mrs. Yong'an Hou entered Queen Pei's bedroom and saluted: "The concubine has seen the queen's mother." ”
Looking at the familiar face of Mrs. Yong'an Hou, Queen Pei's heart was full of disgust, and she paused for a moment before she said lightly: "No courtesy, give a seat." ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou snorted coldly in her heart, and smiled very affectionately on her face: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”
No matter how disgusted and disdainful I am, I have to continue to play the drama that should be played.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou sat on the edge of the bed and opened her mouth to thank her: "The concubine is on behalf of Yingniang and Jinrong, and I thank Niangniang for her generous reward." ”
Hearing the word Jinrong, Queen Pei had a smile on her lips, and asked softly: "Yingniang and Jinrong, do you like the hairpin dress rewarded by the palace?" ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou lied without changing her face: "Niangniang's reward, how can they not like it?" Before the concubines came today, they were trying on hairpins and dresses! ”
Fifteen-year-old girls, like buds on branches, are the most beautiful and delicate age.
How beautiful will it be to wear a beautiful dress?
Empress Pei thought silently, and a strong impulse suddenly arose in her heart.
She wanted to see Jinrong. Even if it's just a glance.
In the past thirteen years, she has been thinking about her daughter all the time. Many times, she couldn't stay up anymore and could only quietly look at the portrait.
No matter how lifelike it is, a portrait is just a portrait. She wanted to see her beautiful and touching daughter Cheng Jinrong with her own eyes.
Empress Pei pressed her excited heart and said slowly: "Sister-in-law will enter the palace next month to ask for peace, bring Yingniang and Jinrong!" ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Yong'an Hou to politely refuse, Queen Pei said lightly: "This palace wants to see her niece, this little thing, sister-in-law will never refuse!" ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou: "......"
There are many eyes and ears in the harem. At this time, among the more than ten palace people standing on the side and waiting, there may be the eyeliner of Emperor Zheng's concubine. Therefore, every time she enters the palace, she never dares to be negligent.
In the past, I could make fun of children who didn't understand the rules. Now that I'm fifteen years old, it's a little ridiculous to say that I don't know the rules.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou quickly made up her mind and responded with a smile: "It is their blessing that Niangniang wants to see them." The concubine will take them into the palace next month to ask for peace. ”
When the time comes, only Pei Ying will be brought, and it will be said that Cheng Jinrong is sick. What about Queen Pei, who lives in the palace?
Empress Pei was very happy when she saw that Mrs. Yong'an Hou had answered, her mood suddenly improved, and the corners of her lips rose.
Empress Pei's face was sick, pale and haggard. But when she smiled, she was still gentle and beautiful.
Lady Yong'an Hou gave birth to vicious jealousy and pleasure in her heart.
No matter how beautiful it is? Isn't it broken alive and trapped in the deep palace? It is like a fish that has been detached from water, and has lost its branches and leaves, and spends its days in torment. Day after day decay continues.
The second prince has grown up, and in a few years, the second prince married a wife and had children, and was made the prince. Queen Pei will also be able to close her eyes and go west with "peace of mind".
"Empress Qiyu," Qing Dai reported respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Shouning heard that Mrs. Yong'an Hou was coming, and they came to meet each other. ”
Yong'an Hou is the uncle of the second prince and Princess Shouning, and he is also the most powerful supporter of the second prince. The second prince has always been close to outsiders.
Mrs. Yong'anhou's joy was beyond words.
Empress Pei's smile faded: "Let them in." ”
……
Moments later, a pair of young men and women entered the dormitory.
The young man was dressed in a bright yellow prince's suit, with black eyes and thin lips, a handsome face, and his gestures were full of the bearing and demeanor of the prince of the heavenly family. This young man is the second prince Yuantai.
The girl is dressed in exquisite and complicated palace clothes, the pear vortex is shallow, the beautiful eyes are longing, bright and moving. It is Princess Shouning Yuan Qiao.
The two of them are dragon and phoenix twins, and they have been born with an average appearance since childhood. As I get older, my appearance and temperament gradually have a significant difference. However, there is still a five-point Xiao between the eyebrows.
A pair of young men and women came side by side, like a pair of pearls, dazzling.
"The son (daughter) has seen the queen mother." The second prince and Princess Shouning saluted together.
Empress Pei said softly: "Flatten!" ”
For as long as I can remember, the queen mother has been sick all day long, does not like to talk, and rarely shows her face. The second prince and Princess Shouning have long been used to it.
After the two brothers and sisters got up, they saluted Mrs. Yong'an Hou with the etiquette of a junior.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou was happy in her heart, and said with a smile in her mouth: "This can't be helped." The two highnesses please hurry up, it really torments me. ”
The second prince smiled: "There are no outsiders here, the nephew salutes his aunt, and the aunt can bear it with peace of mind." ”
Princess Shouning also smiled and agreed: "Yes! My aunt can't afford this gift, who else can't afford it? ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou is not to mention how much she is used.
In the future, the second prince will go further. The Yong'an Marquis Mansion will also rise with it, and perhaps the day when it will be crowned as a national mansion. Becoming the first noble family of Dachu is just around the corner!
Mrs. Yong'an Hou looked at the eyes of the second prince, more loving than her own son: "Your Highness seems to have been a little clear. ”
The second prince smiled casually: "Studying, riding horses, practicing archery, and learning history books, it is inevitable to be busy every day, and it is inevitable to lose weight." ”
Turning his head and instructing Qing Dai: "Today we are all eating in the Jiaofang Palace, you order someone to go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal." In addition, go to Yuqing Palace to send a message. Let the sixth brother also come to join in the fun. ”
Qing Dai was about to respond, but Queen Pei suddenly said: "The sixth prince is unwell, let him rest." ”
The second prince disagreed: "A little cold, drink medicine and sleep for one night, it should be almost better." The queen mother doesn't have to worry about the sixth brother. ”
The second prince inherited Emperor Xuanhe's good martial arts, and his temperament was also the same domineering.
Empress Pei's eyes dimmed slightly, and she didn't say anything more.
