Chapter Eighty-Six: Abnormal
After getting such news, it is impossible not to be disappointed, even Min Yun clenched his cuffs, not that he must be favored, but at this juncture, the newcomer is in power, and with Shen Tingnian's temper, he will not bow his head even if he is killed.
"Which little master lives in the Chunchi Pavilion?"
"Prince Ronghua Li."
Before Min Yun remembered the background of this Li family, he heard Shen Tingnian opening the window, and several people were busy scattering left and right, especially Xiao Xizi jumped out of the outer courtyard with one foot high and one foot low.
But Shen Tingnian didn't care about His Royal Highness the Prince's movements, nor did she worry about the stiff with him, she took care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard all morning, and the hems of her busy clothes and skirts were stained with mud.
It's just that she doesn't have to guess, Yue Zhu didn't have a smile on her face when she came back from a trip, and she always looked at herself carefully, Shen Tingnian didn't expect her to see it, the little girl is the age when she longs for the love between men and women, let her go.
In the afternoon, Hu Yuchun came to Changxinyuan again, she didn't come very attentively, this time she also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had spoiled the newcomer, and came to see Shen Tingnian.
"Once I've been sick, I know that I need to start nourishing my body, and I don't dare to use anything ice now." In April, Hu Yuchun was still wearing a thick cedar skirt, and the color was also very plain, and some people believed that it was a female official aunt in front of Shen Tingnian.
"It's going to be hot again."
Yue Zhuhou used a small clip to open nut shells for the two of them on the side, and Shen Tingnian sat on the swing swinging, while looking at the flower beds in the garden that attracted bees and butterflies, and threw the nuts in his hand and continued to eat them with his mouth.
"Seeing you like this, I don't think it's difficult to live a life."
Small talk is to say that there is no sentence, Shen Tingnian has few words, but it does not hinder the atmosphere of chatting.
"Didn't you ask me about the pure concubine last time?" Hu Yuchun finally mentioned something that Shen Tingnian was interested in, and she stopped to listen.
"I've been covering this matter for a long time, and I just heard someone mention it a little not long ago......"
The pure noble concubine entered the palace and was raised by the queen as a daughter, and rarely appeared in front of Emperor Kang'an, saying that it was simple to be famous but not to serve people, so she raised a pure and simple temperament.
And last year's ban period Emperor Kang An was very restrained by the queen, once I met a pure noble concubine in Kunning Palace, a girl in her twenties has fragrant body bones, although it is not an outstanding appearance, but in the eyes of Emperor Kang An, who was hungry like a wolf at that time, it was a piece of fat meat.
The poor ignorant pure noble concubine was deceived into the room in a few words, and when the door was locked, the lieutenants guarding outside were frightened by her screams and had nightmares, and the queen killed more than ten palace attendants angrily for this matter, but there was no way to take the culprit.
"Since then, she has been a little ......" Hu Yuchun didn't know how to describe it, "It seems that a drunk person has woken up, and he is not lacking in heart and eyes and is not stupid, but it is like a living person is dead." ”
After listening to this, Shen Tingnian's face was a little ugly, and Yuezhu was so frightened that she couldn't hold the nuts in the clip in her hand.
"Hey, it's all my fault for mentioning such a thing." Hu Yuchun hurriedly changed the topic and went to talk about other idle things.
It took a long time for the master and servant to recover.
The leisurely time passed quickly, and Hu Yuchun was down to business before leaving, "Then Li Ronghua, I heard that she is the daughter of the governor of Suining, Jiangnan, and she has no power in the palace from the south." ”
"Ahem." Yue Zhu didn't guard against her mentioning the prince Ronghua Li, and everyone didn't tell Shen Tingnian about this.
"Li Ronghua?" Shen Tingnian glanced at Yuezhu with a fake cough and a red face, she was tired after swinging for a long time, and jumped off the swing, "It doesn't matter if she Zhao Qian, Sun Li, or Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, what's the matter with me." ”
Laughing as he walked forward.
"Bustling, all in the past, ups and downs, eventually passers-by."
The more she said it, the more Hu Yuchun felt that she was greasy? There was no such premonition before, she sighed slightly when she left, the scruffiness of the scholar can still be said, and the timidity of the woman cannot be said. But a character like His Royal Highness the Prince, ordinary women will fall in love even when they see each other, if he still treats you like a pearl and jade, who can not be tempted? And now among the twelve newcomers, there are many who are crazy about him.
Not only did Hu Yuchun have such a hunch, but Min Yun also noticed Shen Tingnian's abnormality when he came to change shifts during dinner.
It is clear that the appetite is not good, but I picked a dish for a long time, and I refused to put chopsticks without taking a bite.
Everyone accompanied silently, and when the food was no longer hot, she finally spoke up, "Why is there no news yet?" ”
Min Yun asked with some hesitation: "Is Niangniang asking Qianqiu Palace?" ”
Although she is very good at figuring out Shen Tingnian's thoughts, she is really not sure what to ask this time.
"What Qianqiu Palace, is it asking you that there is no news from Shen Bin's side?"
It turned out to be this matter, today is indeed the day of the moon and the moon, Min Yun pondered for a moment and shook his head, "He will never hand the sign to the palace again after the year......
Since the branches and buds went, this matter of sending things out was handed over to Min Yun to deal with, but after only a few contacts, no one has appeared again.
Shen Tingnian has not taken the initiative to find out about the outside world in the past few years, saying that she is ignoring it, it is better to say that she is self-isolated, but there is such a person who has been looking for her, which makes her feel that her family has not completely forgotten herself.
This time the connection was cut off, and she suddenly let out a low laugh.
Even if Min Yun couldn't see the specific expression, he didn't turn his head reluctantly, just as if he couldn't see it.
###
In Kunning Palace, the queen asked people to prepare lunch, half of which was vegetarian and half was meat and vegetarian.
The prince's sedan chair walked to the door of the outer hall of Kunning Palace, Qi Mama smiled and greeted him and saluted, facing this old servant who had served the queen for more than ten years, Pu Yangxu's face sank all the way to softened slightly, and she led the way.
"Your Highness has lost weight again?" Mama Qi once took Pu Yangxu for a period of time, when she was at the age when she could leave the palace, but she chose to accompany the queen for the rest of her life, and the queen pitied her, and she really valued her, so she was in charge of everything in Kunning Palace, in other words, the wind and grass in the harem were all watching. Even when Shen Tingnian had a miscarriage, she went to Changxinyuan on behalf of the queen, which shows that her status is outstanding.
A few days ago, Mama Qi went out of the palace and returned to her hometown to see off her mother, and she has only returned to the palace in recent days.
"Isn't it more mature and stable?" Pu Yangxu didn't answer the question, and the two had already entered the inner hall.
Mama Qi replied with a smile, "Yes, it's even more sophisticated." ”
The two didn't say anything else, the queen waited at the dinner table with an indifferent expression, Pu Yangxu first shouted to the queen mother, and then sat down with a smile, "I haven't eaten with the queen mother for a long time." There are a lot of things in the court these days, so don't blame your son. ”
"The society is important, you are tired of the court, how can the queen mother blame." After the queen finished speaking, she instructed the waiters on the left and right to serve Pu Yangxu hot soup, adhering to the principle of eating without saying a word, and the two of them did not speak again, and had a meal together quietly.
After eating with the queen in Kunning Palace, Pu Yangxu drank tea without hurry, and the two sat opposite each other, the queen was as calm and indifferent as an ancient mirror, and even the faint smile on her face was also light and light.
"Queen Mother, I heard that you recently like to visit the sage's Lanshan Ji, and I specially asked someone to collect a set among the people, saying that it was the original remnant." Chen Luo, who was waiting at the back, carefully served a tray in a timely manner.
The queen glanced at the so-called original remnants, and the smile on her lips became thicker, "It's rare that you still remember these trivial things with your heart, Mama Qi, put them away." ”
Pu Yangxu took a sip of tea and said suddenly, "Speaking of intentions, the crown princess copied a lot of ancient books for her mother every month, but she was more attentive than her son." ”
The queen took the tea and blew silently, "It's hard for that child." ”
Seeing that the queen was so indifferent, Pu Yangxu abandoned the tea and said bluntly, "Queen Mother, if you like the crown princess, I will go to her palace a few more times in the future." ”
"What are you talking about?" The queen took a few sips of tea, signaled to retreat left and right, and waited for no one in the inner hall to have a cold face, "I can't help it?" ”
Pu Yangxu coughed lightly, there was a weakness of his fist hitting the cotton, he couldn't imagine that if it wasn't for Zhao Jingyi, how could the queen interfere in his palace affairs, "Mother, my son doesn't know what's wrong, why do you calculate it on your own son?" ”
He just came to Kunning Palace to see her, drank a cup of tea, and woke up the next day in the Chunchi Pavilion.
The queen snorted coldly, looking at him like that, her voice sank a little deeper: "Why? Don't you know in your own heart, if it weren't for the fact that there was no movement in the East Palace for so long, I wouldn't have that leisure. ”
As soon as he heard her words, Pu Yangxu knew that no place he slept at night could escape her eyes, and he couldn't help but soften his attitude a little, "How can this kind of thing come in a hurry?" I really don't have the heart right now......"
"Tell me where your mind went." The queen still said coldly, took a sip of tea, and there was no emotion on her face, but Pu Yangxu knew that the queen was unhappy, since he was a child, his respect for this person far exceeded that of the emperor, it can be said that he disliked the current crown princess Zhao Jingyi, the fundamental reason is because she always imitates the queen.
He has witnessed too many times that his mother has made various means, among which the deepest impression on him is to strangle those women who threaten her status, but even though he thinks that the queen's methods are ruthless, he can't blame him, if there is no means for her, how can he grow up safely when he was young, and naturally there will be no today's them, and today's status.
"Mother, from the election of the crown princess to the present, I have never done anything against your will," Pu Yangxu's expression was a little serious, exuding the majesty of a prince, "But when I don't like it, you can't ......"
"Bang."
The queen shook the cup and slammed it on the table, her voice a little loud, "You don't like it?" If everything goes your way, this Great Zhou Kingdom will not be your world! ”
Murder and punishment, the matter of imperial power is his taboo.
Pu Yangxu's face suddenly became ugly, he couldn't bear to speak, his eyes narrowed, and his anger could not be hidden.
"What? Are you angry and want to turn your face with me? Just for a woman......"
"Queen Mother!" Pu Yangxu brushed his sleeves and got up, "When did I intervene in this harem, didn't it all follow your wishes, let them toss, what kind of women are in and out, who are behind them, I turn a blind eye, and now, do you have to feed them with my body!" ”
