Chapter 8: Floods
Now is not the time to look casually, Song Yao just glanced at it quickly and lowered her head, followed Song Yao's side and followed her in a proper manner, and saluted and greeted.
Feng Sui also went to the Kunning Palace to visit the queen first, the queen looked very kind, and her expression when she looked at Feng Sui was also full of mother's love and gentleness, and when she saw them saluting, she raised her hand and said.
"Get up, today is also the mourning family misses you, so they all called you into the palace, and it can be regarded as a gathering together. Crown Princess...... You just sit next to Song Meiren, your aunt and nephew may not have seen each other for a long time, you should talk well, Concubine Xia also sit, prince, come to the mourning family. ”
After the queen said these words, Xia Yuke dared to move, Song Yao answered, walked to a vacant seat in the east and sat down, Xia Yuke took a closer look, Song Yao sat next to a slender woman, wearing a colored palace skirt, and there were not many hairpin rings in her hair, in comparison, she was dressed much more plainly, and her face was also weak, looking like she was silent, and even when Song Yao sat over, she also gave way to the side.
After thinking about it again, Xia Yuke still sat opposite Song Yao, and when she faced the concubine who looked at her next to her, she only bowed her head and said hello, and she didn't dare to say a superfluous word.
And Feng Sui and the queen sat together, and there were a lot of family chats, most of which were good or bad, but before the two of them talked for a quarter of an hour, the queen said to Feng Sui: "Your Majesty sent someone to talk to the mourning family before you arrived, if you come, go to the imperial study, he has something important to discuss with you, maybe it is related to the flood in Ganzhou, you go quickly." ”
Flood, what flood?
Xia Yuke raised his eyes when he heard the queen say this, but he didn't dare to look at Feng Sui's expression, but he caught a glimpse of the woman sitting under the queen, and her face froze for a moment, and then she lowered her eyes, and her fingertips rubbed the cup, as if she didn't hear it.
She just heard what the picture screen said, that person is a virtuous concubine who is quite favored by the emperor, in addition to the queen, there is also her assistant to the six palaces on weekdays, and she is the biological mother of the eldest prince Fengyang, the head of the four concubines, it can be said that under the queen, she is more respected.
"Yes, Erchen will go." Feng Sui didn't have any expression on his face, as if this was just a job for him, Feng Sui got up, and wanted the queen to bow slightly, then turned around and left.
As soon as the prince left, the concubines present seemed to have opened a chatterbox, first the concubine Xian spoke, she turned her head to look at Song Yao and Xia Yuke more, and her eyes stayed on Xia Yuke for more time.
"The concubine has really not seen the princess for a long time, and when I see it today, her complexion is even worse than before; I have also heard of Concubine Xia, not only is she one of the most beautiful in the country, but her courage is even more outstanding, I heard that before, His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated, or did the side concubine sacrifice herself to block the knife? It's really impressive. ”
Concubine Xian's words were not leaky, and when she spoke, she looked at Xia Yuke, and her face was also smiling, Xia Yuke was very sad in her heart, this did not know how to push her to everyone, and make a target?
Kill! This is naked slaughter!
It's just that I think so in my heart, but I can't say it on my lips.
As soon as Concubine Xian finished saying this, all the concubines present cast their eyes on her, some were contemptuous, some were surprised, and some were stable; Only Song Yao is still smiling and lowering her eyes, with a dignified and graceful appearance, making the consciousness that a visitor should have.
Xia Yuke had to cheer up and show a smile, got up from his seat and said: "Concubine Xian Niangniang has a good reputation, when the concubine was talking to His Royal Highness, an assassin appeared, His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the country, and he also needs to assist His Majesty in governing the country, if he is injured, not to mention the people, it is the queen mother and the crown princess, and he must be very worried." The concubine is just a little woman, if she can protect Her Highness thoroughly, and add a few scars on her body, it is nothing. ”
"yes." Song Yao also raised her head at this moment, looked at Concubine Xian and the queen and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness was assassinated, and the concubine was also very worried, but Sister Xia was with His Royal Highness at that time, and she was able to stand up regardless of her own safety, just to protect His Highness. ”
There was no shortage of whispers among the concubines on both sides, Xia Yuke was also stunned when she heard Song Yao's words, and started to start, and her plan began.
Only Song Meiren lowered her head slightly and didn't speak, and no one noticed it, but she saw it: Song Yao's always steady hand shook just now, and a few drops of tea spilled out, she was very angry, and Song Meiren knew it very well.
But no matter what Song Yao's purpose was in saying this, Xia Yuke also seemed to be the center of this gathering, and when the queen heard Song Yao's words, she looked at Xia Yuke with a little more approval in her eyes, and even beckoned to her and said, "Come, you come here." ”
Xia Yuke walked over obediently, and the queen took her hand and patted her on the back of her hand, "The mourning family has long heard that the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry was born beautiful, but since you passed the door, the mourning family has not been able to see it, and today it can be regarded as seeing it, it is really a beauty." …… You can sacrifice yourself to block the knife for the prince, and the mourning family is also very admired, but the daughter's family, if there is a scar on the body, it is not good, Chunhuan, go, bring the jade spirit ointment of the mourning family. ”
The maid beside the queen turned around and entered the inner hall, Xia Yuke just smiled, and also replied carefully: "The queen's mother is serious, this is nothing." ”
After the maid came out with a small porcelain box, the queen took it and put it in Xia Yuke's hand, and said: "This is the imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Department who prepared it for the mourning family, the scar removal is very effective, and it will be smooth in about half a month." This is a little gadget from the mourners. ”
Xia Yuke wanted to shirk it, but when he saw the queen's eyes, he felt that it was too abrupt, so he had to hand over the jade spirit paste to the painting screen beside him, and saluted: "The concubine has thanked the queen." ”
Inside the Imperial Study.
Feng Sui walked into the hall and saw the emperor sitting in front of the desk to review the recital, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The son sees the emperor." ”
The Emperor just hummed and said, "Get up." ”
Feng Sui also lowered his head slightly after getting up, and was business-like, "I don't know what is the important matter for my father to call his sons over?" ”
"You seem to be very reluctant...... Emperor's tone was also calm, he raised his eyes to look at Feng Sui, but he didn't seem to care much, after all, he has always been like this.
The emperor picked up a notebook placed on the side and stretched out his hand to hand it to Feng Sui, "Look at this." ”
Feng Sui took two steps forward to take over the song, and when he opened it, he frowned, "Ganzhou flood? ”
