Chapter 161: Autumn Coolness
When Song Yu sat back after sending the Queen Mother back, he yawned, and didn't pay attention to the next step.
"Sister Queen is very sleepy, she must have worked hard to host the middle feed."
Song Yu didn't remember who it was when she heard the voice, but when she turned her head, it was Wu Jieyu, this girl looked bright and innocent, she didn't think it was a good thing, she smiled slightly, "It's not as busy as Wu Jieyu." ”
Wu Jieyu's face remained unchanged, so she didn't smile anymore, "The concubine heard that Youyue Lake in the palace is the most lively place to go these days, do you want to go and see it together?" ”
Youyue Lake is moon-shaped, swim in the lake and look at the moon, homesickness does not arise spontaneously, every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon is located in the middle of the lake, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival night emperor cleared the field, no one is allowed to swim in the lake, he took Shen Tingnian and Brother Zhan to enjoy the moon and wander around the lake for more than an hour, according to rumors, when they arrived in the middle of the lake, the attendants left in a small boat, and their family of three was alone for a long time.
"This palace doesn't like to take a boat, Wu Jieyu wants to go and see herself." Song Yu refused indifferently.
Wu Jieyu smiled, and was just about to persuade a few more words, but it happened that there was a fork in front of her, and Song Yu left with a limp in one step, so she naturally didn't have the face to stick it up and follow ...... For so long, she thought that the queen was also waiting for an opportunity, but even the roundabout temptation taught her to fail, if even the queen gave up the opportunity to serve and compete for favor, it would be really difficult for them to wait for the future.
Not far behind her was Zhao Jingyi's steps to another palace road, and Zhao Huan, who followed, saw her looking at the disappearing figure of the queen, and wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "This queen...... There is no queen at all. ”
It's not that she is not good at doing things, and it's not that she is not dignified enough to be a mother in the world, but she doesn't seem to have the emperor in her eyes - it's not like, Zhao Huan is very sure of this point based on what she has seen and heard, which dynasty The queen didn't react at all when she saw the emperor, just now in Ci'an Palace, she saw it clearly, and the moment the queen saw the emperor, she saw the emperor's courtesy, and then she put up a windshield like the emperor's side, she didn't look at it, and her eyes didn't focus on the other party's face.
On the contrary, after Shen Tingnian appeared, the queen's attention suddenly focused, and the subtle changes in her expression were all due to the interaction between Shen Tingnian and the emperor, and even glanced at Shen Tingnian with some reluctance to leave at the end.
Zhao Jingyi retracted her gaze, closed her eyes slightly, and looked inexplicable, since she saw Shen Tingnian with her own eyes at the full moon banquet, she was shocked by the great changes in Shen Tingnian, she was more affected than receiving the emperor's edict from the concubine. was already silent, but now he really can't laugh and cry, and he can't cry, Zhao Huan and the others are anxious, but there is nothing they can do.
Outside, they all said that the homework of this Jing Concubine was no different from that of the Taoist aunt in the nunnery, and she got up early every day to meditate, and also sat in the exercises, copied and chanted the scriptures...... Wu Jieyu is a sociable person, not only touching the nail at the queen's place, but also kicking the iron plate in Concubine Jing, every time she visits, she either happens to be meditating, telling her to wait for an hour, or chanting, making her drowsy.
Once Wu Jieyu specially rushed to the dinner time, she was cheeky and rubbed the rice, who knew that what was waiting for her was a table of boiled cabbage and boiled tofu...... said that she wanted to be a vegetarian all day long, she couldn't get off a single chopstick, swallowed two mouthfuls of white rice, and hurriedly said goodbye.
###
On this day, something happened in the Ci'an Palace, and something happened in the court, although the former was small Judah, although the latter was big and small.
"Come on, go and invite all the Aiqing of the Second Mansion to the imperial study to discuss matters."
Pu Yangxu was busy in the imperial study, Chen Luo lowered his head and came in to speak, and after staying for a while, he just wanted to turn his head and go out.
"What's the matter?"
"Back to the emperor, the slave just saw that Mama Qi from Ci'an Palace went to Yanxi Hall." As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, the lieutenant who was responsible for summoning the ministers of the second government came in to speak, and several ministers were waiting outside.
"Let them in." Pu Yangxu closed the fold, and Xiao Muzi, who served the ink, put away Zihao, inkstone, and retreated.
Convening the cabinet to discuss the matter is naturally a confidential matter, Chen Luo waited for a while, and the last one went out, and when he went out, Zhao Xiang, who was leading the way into the imperial study, had a look of fatigue on his face.
For a while, I somehow remembered the boiling things outside, Zhao Xiang was recently hit by the small county lord of the Wang family, and he chased him all day long, and he was entangled...... Previously, the emperor chose a wife for Zhao Xiang, but it was also thunderous and rainy, and the selected woman did not wait for the family to agree on the news of serious illness, and in the end, the marriage naturally did not come to fruition.
Zhao Xiang is the head of a hundred officials, his identity is outstanding, how dare ordinary women offend him, but the little county lord who is close to the Wang family is also an iron head, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is no different from chasing and intercepting a little hooligan, and the disturbing Zhao Xiang is like a mouse crossing the street, how fast he can jump.
Chen Luo walked all the way and thought about something, and when he arrived at Yan Xitang, he was shocked to realize that he had no reason to come, and the emperor had nothing to say.
It can be said that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry.
In Yanxi Hall, Mama Qi was led in by Yue Zhu, who had finished the ceremony, and through the curtains, she vaguely saw Shen Tingnian changing clothes, so she took the initiative to wait in the outer room.
Shen Ting told the nurse in a young voice not to feed Brother Zhan anymore, and called again: "Come in." ”
Mama Qi just went into the inner room, she didn't waste much time, and when she saw the ceremony, she said directly to the matter: "The Queen Mother asked the old slave to come over and pass the word, and the concubine Niangniang came back to change Brother Zhan'er's clothes first, and it was best to take a bath again......"
Shen Tingnian frowned and asked, "Did you find something?" I also felt strange when I went to Ci'an Palace, and I didn't even smell the slightest smell of smoke when I walked through the water. ”
Mama Qi only saw at this moment that Brother Zhan'er's clothes in the nurse's arms were no longer the ones she had seen in Ci'an Palace before, no wonder she caught up with Shen Tingnian to change her clothes as soon as she came, so she went to change Brother Zhan'er first.
Wei Shi was more cautious than she thought, and it was really her mother.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and his voice was much softer when he spoke again: "It was only after the old slave went back that I remembered the group of women who came today...... Not to mention the heavy smell of several unobtrusive rouge gouaches, the sachets on the body are all exuding the fragrance of Cui Qing. ”
Although this thing is not too harmful, but people who will be excited are very excited, Brother Zhan is still so young, how can he get it, and when the time comes, he will get sick with an irregular heart rate......
Shen Tingnian was reprimanded by the emperor for this matter just after he was in the imperial court, although she didn't obediently criticize him and scared Brother Zhan'er, but she was a little annoyed in her heart.
"This palace knows, I'll take a bath for Brother Zhan later." Shen Tingnian was also uncomfortable because of the smell of chaos, so he immediately changed Brother Zhan'er's clothes as soon as he came back.
Mama Qi didn't have anything to say, she was not a person who could talk a lot, and Shen Tingnian also avoided Ci'an Palace, so that not only was she lukewarm to the Queen Mother, but the palace maids and officials in the two palaces also ignored each other and did not provoke each other.
"Then the old slave will retire first."
Shen Tingnian nodded, although she was not afraid of conflict with the Queen Mother, nor did she intend to be false, let alone provoke trouble, now that this situation is not good, and the storm is about to come, if the Queen Mother has a good one because of her, it will be useless.
But things tend to be more and more fearful.
Not long after Ci'an Palace went to the water, the Queen Mother suffered from heart disease and immediately began to recuperate in bed.
Shen Tingnian heard the news with some complicated feelings, at the beginning, she pointed at the queen mother's nose and scolded her for having no heart, but in a blink of an eye, she really had a heart disease, and the imperial doctor diagnosed her as overwhelmed, not suitable for hard work, and needed to recuperate...... In fact, this disease is not big, and if you take care of it well, you will be relieved of nothing, and it is not small, and many people who are too careless think that heart disease will not die, but when it comes to illness, it really doesn't come up in one breath, and it dies suddenly.
The emperor upheld filial piety and began to go to Ci'an Palace every day to greet him, called his illness, but in fact, he couldn't stay with him every day after having a meal and chatting a few words, and the Queen Mother had something to say to him, but he didn't have anything to hear.
As soon as this little half month passed, the Queen Mother's spirit came back, and all the meat that Pu Yangxu had gained weight during the period of pregnancy and childbirth in Shen Ting's year of pregnancy and Brother Zhan'er was put into it.
Shen Tingnian was considerate of his hard work, and asked him not to come to Yanxitang every day several times, he was busy when he was busy, and he didn't know how to nourish his mind when he was empty, he always consumed his spirit like this, and people were easy to get old-
Pu Yangxu didn't listen to it, so he grabbed the sentence 'people are easy to get old' and forced her to ask, "Do you dislike me for getting old?" ”
The weak-crowned young man who could suppress her for a night at the beginning, is now about to run for the blink of an eye, Pu Yangxu said that he is still young and is not convinced.
"How can there be, Brother Xu is still a young man......" Shen Tingnian immediately smoothed his hair, and all kinds of praise came as soon as he opened his mouth, but Pu Yangxu vaguely felt that he was not as good as when he was young recently, and he had a sore back for a long time, although it was a little too early to worry, but he still felt that he had to start taking care of his body, after all, ...... Brother Zhan is still so young.
Before his son grew up, Lao Tzu didn't dare to grow old, and this earth-moving spirit was only experienced by Pu Yangxu himself.
And where did Shen Tingnian know that the emperor who was alive and well still had this awakening, she was only happy for the short night of sleep that was rare since the beginning of autumn.
Of course, we must also be sympathetic to the hard-working emperor, if he wants to see Brother Zhan, she will carry him to the imperial study, if he is tired of reading the fold, she will read it to him...... It can be regarded as love and working together to overcome the difficulties.
The winter of the second year of Jianyuan came suddenly, the queen mother was actually infected with the wind cold, this fever could not go down, the imperial doctor did not dare to prescribe fierce medicine, Qi Qi was in trouble, provoking the emperor too angry, and finally there was really no way, so they ordered them to save people no matter what.
The Queen Mother is more than forty or six this year, and she is very well maintained and does not look old, but this time she is sick, and after she is rescued, most of her gray hair has grown.
On the second day after she came to her senses, she held the emperor's hand and told him to work less and promote more capable ministers...... What he said was earnest, and the emperor who listened to it was also choked up.
Then she said that Ci'an Palace would not be in charge of anything in the future, "You can't believe that the queen is in charge alone, so let Concubine Jing take half of it...... If you don't want Concubine Jing to take care of it, let Shen Tingnian come by herself. ”
She always likes to call Shen Tingnian's full name, and never calls her title, probably because of the sequelae of being scolded...... No, it was like this before he was scolded, and the emperor couldn't figure out why these two people were born at odds.
"The queen mother can rest in peace, I will think it through and make arrangements before I make arrangements......"
