Chapter 122
Xie Ruqing happened to meet Qi Wanru when she came out, and when she saw it, she knew that this girl was in a bad mood.
"Sister Ruqing." Qi Wan stepped forward to say hello, this girl was smiling a while ago, and her face was ruddy, but she was haggard after not seeing her for a few days, and her face couldn't be covered with red.
"Like, why do you have such a bad face, but you're worried about your father?"
Qi Wanru's father is the soldier who went to the northern Xinjiang to fight, I am afraid that this matter will not be comfortable for anyone, a civil minister, who knows that one day he will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the army.
Even if it is a military general, every time he goes on an expedition, his family will be scared.
Qi Wanru was about to cry when she spoke, "I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all day, I was afraid that my father wouldn't come back, and I wouldn't hide it from my sister, I was so pessimistic, I always felt that my father couldn't come back." ”
Xie Ruqing felt sorry for her in her heart, in the situation in Northern Xinjiang, Lord Qi might not be able to come back, but she couldn't say this, she could only persuade, "Don't worry about it, Lord Qi has a great fortune, you will definitely be able to come back safely, you must not scare yourself, take care of your mother." ”
Qi Wanru nodded, "My sister I know, I am secretly sad, not in front of my mother, alas, I also met my sister to talk to you, you don't have to hate me." ”
"How could it be, Lord Qi fought for the country and the people, everyone was worried about him, didn't the emperor send reinforcements, Lord Qi must be fine."
"Hmm." Qi Wanru wiped away her tears and packed up her mood before entering the palace.
The palace was full of joy, not affected by the war at all, Xie Ruqing's identity is different from the past, his wife is returned by her husband, and there are many people who talk to her, so she has to entertain one or two, entered Yao Guifei's palace, and was invited to the seat by Yao Guifei.
"Mrs. Qingyang Hou has been getting better and better recently." Yao Guifei praised, "It can be seen that our Qingyang Hou will hurt people." ”
Someone next to her immediately chimed in, "No, I remember when she couldn't speak and she was so thin that she couldn't look like she was a relative, and since she became a relative, her complexion is getting better and better day by day, and she has flesh on her face, and she looks better and better." ”
People in these years are all high and low, this is to see that Qi Yanzhi is favored, they all come to slap her, Xie Ruqing remembers praising her that the lady has arranged her before.
"The Marquis of Qingyang has a meritorious accompaniment, we really want to thank him, thanks to him for helping us to relieve the emperor's worries." Yao Guifei took Xie Ruqing's hand and said enthusiastically.
"It should." Xie Ruqing replied politely.
Yao Guifei was afraid that she was deliberately hating her, and desperately said how favored Qi Yanzhi was, and those ladies didn't know what to smell from her words, and their faces became more and more strange.
Especially those concubines, their expressions are as if a fox spirit has robbed the emperor.
"The concubine is really humble." Xie Ruqing also governed his body in the way of others, "My marquis often tells me when he goes home, the emperor trusts you the most, praises you for your virtuous and virtuous virtues, and says that you are too hard to manage the six palaces, as an example of the six palaces, everything is decent, and my marquis always advises me to learn more from the concubine." ”
The smile on Yao Guifei's face was a little stiff, it was true that she was in charge of the Sixth Palace, but her identity did not match, those who flattered her on her face laughed at her behind her back.
"See, our emperor really takes a fancy to Sister Guifei." sat down and the concubine spoke, and her words were full of sourness.
Xie Ruqing successfully led the battle, and sat with a smile to watch the excitement, if she Yao Guifei had a brain, she would quickly uncover this stubble.
"Please come today, there is a lot of neglect." Yao Guifei quietly changed the topic, and no longer talked about the Qingyang Marquis and his wife, "Everyone also knows that now the war is tight, and the imperial court is in short supply, we have to start from ourselves to save expenses, today's banquet is not meaty, please don't waste it." ”
This banquet is a bit difficult to torture people, usually enter the palace to eat a banquet, which time is not a waste of a lot of things, everyone into the palace to make a show, no one is worried about filling the stomach, I thought that this vegetarian banquet is also the meaning, eat a few chopsticks to save face, who knows how torturous it is!
Sure enough, the ladies and ladies immediately turned pale like vegetables, wishing they had never been here, isn't this a pit person? The emperor ordered all families to eat nests, but in fact, few people really ate them, especially the young ladies and ladies in the backyard, and there were all kinds of pastries on weekdays, and they couldn't starve to death if they didn't eat.
Now it's in full view, it's really fun!
After a while, the meal was served, and everyone's face was more dispatable, each person had a plate of green vegetables and mushrooms, a tofu mixed soup, and jade cabbage, and the rice was a bowl of coarse grain rice, plus wowotou.
It's very good-looking, but it's too vegetarian, and besides, there are so many, how can you eat it!
Xie Ruqing and Qi Wanru ate freely, a few ladies were reluctant to eat at first, but they couldn't eat half of it, and the pampered ladies ate two bites like feeding birds, and the four princesses simply didn't move a chopstick, sulking with her mother.
"But not to your liking?" Yao Guifei took the lead in eating and asked.
Who dares to say that it is not appetizing, I heard that the emperor ate this today, and whoever picks his mouth can't pick his mouth compared to the emperor, so he has to say that it is delicious.
"Qiyu, if you don't eat it, you will eat pickles three times a day until you win the battle." Yao Guifei said to the fourth princess.
The fourth princess's face was pale, she didn't dare to be disobedient, she could only find a way to push, she looked at Xie Ruqing and said: "I see that Mrs. Qingyang Hou doesn't seem to have enough to eat, it's better to give her mine, I have a small appetite and can't eat too much." ”
Xie Ruqing said: "The fourth princess is kind, I have enough of these, you might as well eat it yourself." ”
The fourth princess snorted, "Doesn't Mrs. Qingyang Hou give face?" ”
"Don't dare." Xie Ruqing said without being salty, "The fourth princess doesn't want to eat it, why should she push it to others." ”
"You!" The fourth princess was beaten down in public, not to mention how angry, she threw off her chopsticks, and simply didn't eat, "I can't eat, come on, if any of you help me eat, I'll give him ten taels of silver!" ”
The palace maids looked at each other, naturally they all wanted to earn the ten taels, but no one dared.
"If you don't eat, take what is in front of her." Yao Guifei ordered.
The fourth princess is not afraid, it is in line with his preferences to withdraw, she is arrogant, and thinks that her mother and father will accommodate her, so she has no fear.
"From now on, no one is allowed to give the fourth princess anything to eat, she wants to give nothing until the next meal." Yao Guifei coldly ordered.
"Mother, you are unreasonable!" The fourth princess stood up and lost her temper, "Why don't you give me food, I'm a princess and I'm not a common man who can't eat, don't you let me eat something, are you making the world laugh at the shame of our palace for not being able to open the pot!" ”
"Bastard!" Yao Guifei slapped her chopsticks on the table and was furious, "As a princess, what kind of style do you have to say such things!" Where do you get the food you eat every day, not all of them are provided for you by the common people, and you can eat what you use without them! Why can't the people starve, where do you get your privilege! ”
The fourth princess grew so old and didn't suffer such grievances, and collapsed on the spot, "Mother, how can you say this about me, I am a princess, my status is noble, this is still what you said, the status of ordinary people is low, this is destiny, what is next to me, they have the ability to reincarnate in the royal family, since they don't have that life, why complain!" ”
"Give me a slap!" Yao Guifei shouted, "What about people, give me the mouth of the fourth princess and beat her until she no longer talks nonsense!" ”
Everyone was stunned, no one knew how things came to be like this, Yao Guifei slapped the mouth of the fourth princess on her birthday, not to mention that the fourth princess didn't expect it, no one thought about it, who didn't know that the fourth princess was favored.
"Who of you dares!" The fourth princess stood on the table and pointed to the grandmothers leaning over, "Whoever dares to touch me, I want his life!" ”
