Chapter 20: Mother and Daughter
Wei Baofu's heart is warm, people are the most complex creatures, and they are also the most fickle, but the relationship between her and her grandmother is irreplaceable, although her grandmother is occasionally emotional, but she has never hurt her, which is enough.
According to their respective grades, the concubines took a sedan chair, some followed, and followed behind the queen mother's sedan chair, sending her back to Cining Palace.
Queen Wang looked ahead with an unpredictable expression, Xiujin couldn't see her like this, and asked softly: "What do you command?" The queen came back to her senses, and said with some hesitation: "You send someone to deliver a message to the prince, this palace seems to have heard that a concubine in the East Palace has some trouble with the county lord, you let the prince not act rashly, the county lord of Kangping is not easy to provoke, so as not to provoke a fishy body." ”
Now I can't see the emperor's attitude, but the county lord of Kangping is the only daughter of Prince Lian, if he really treats her, he is afraid that the queen mother will not jump her feet, and the clan will not give up, not to mention, now it seems that this county lord is not easy to provoke, and I don't know how to treat her for a while.
Concubine Shu has a decent and modest smile from beginning to end, if you are familiar with her, you should know that she is in a very good mood at the moment, seeing the queen's gaze, and gave her an extremely bright smile, this smile has no side content in it, but in the eyes of the queen, it is a naked provocation.
When she arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was impatient to talk to these women, and Mama Feng sent them out, regardless of whether the queen was happy or not, she took Wei Baofu's hand and went to the house.
Mama Feng is also used to the aftermath of the Queen Mother, she said respectfully: "The Queen Mother, forgive me, the Queen Mother and her old man fell seriously ill on the road, although she is now cured, but in the end she is still old, and her body is always weak, so she wants to rest early, there are many people, and the noise makes her old man have a headache." ”
Even if the queen is unhappy, she won't say anything at this time, "Mama Feng is too worried, the queen mother's body is more important than anything else, how can the palace not know this truth, but in the evening, the emperor specially ordered the palace to arrange a family banquet, the queen mother has not come back for so many years, and she always wants to meet the other princesses, and she can't just let the lord of Kangping be filial piety." ”
Without waiting for Mama Feng to speak, Concubine Shu chuckled, "Look at what the queen said, our queen mother is the most kind, if the princesses really want to be filial, why don't you go to Jianzhang Palace early, as if the county lord has taken a lot of benefits." ”
Concubine Shu can't see the queen's petty family spirit the most, she can't wait to take advantage of any benefits, all the faults are someone else's, and now she still wants to provoke the relationship between Kang Ping and the princes and princesses in the palace, which is really disgusting.
Concubine Yu has been following behind to see the excitement, she was born in the Qingyang Hou Mansion, her father and brother are military generals with real power, and they are also bold and spicy, and they are also comfortable in this palace when they raise their daughters on weekdays.
Now there are no melon seeds knocking, and there is no recliner to lean on, she has been waiting for the Queen Mother and her party, standing for a long time, and there is a family banquet in the evening, she is impatient to look at the excitement, and she also feels that the queen is becoming more and more petty.
"The queen mother and sister Shufei are too, they talk about each other on weekdays, that's the fun between our sisters, today, at the gate of this Cining Palace, there are some things that shouldn't be, and it's not too early, and the concubines still have something to do in the palace, so they won't accompany the two, so they will retire."
After speaking, she didn't care about the queen's face, she turned around and was about to leave, Concubine Shu was not unhappy, Concubine Yu has always been so straightforward, she looks scheming, but she is thick and fine, although she does not have much grace, but she is more nourished than most people in this harem, which she can't envy.
Although the queen has a lot of power, she only has a suppressive power over the low-ranking concubines, and the rest of the people who have a little favor and family background are not very afraid of her, after all, the queen does not have a strong maiden family, and she does not have the emperor's favor, although she has a prince, she is also an unstable status.
Xiujin opened her mouth in a timely manner: "Niangniang, the family banquet in the evening has not been arranged, and you can't delay it any longer." ”
Although the queen is angry, she can only leave by starting from the beginning, so that the low-ranking little masters will inevitably look down on it, and there is no need for everyone to stay as soon as the queen leaves, there are not many concubines in this palace, except for Concubine Yu Yu, there is only Yao Guifei who is still grounded, and the emperor is not greedy for women.
Concubine Shu glanced at the plaque of Cining Palace, turned around and left with a little regret, although she didn't see anyone, but this little girl's temperament was better than she thought, and she couldn't help but be more grateful to the Queen Mother.
Concubine Yu left Cining Palace but did not return to her own palace, thinking that her Princess Duanhui was the same age as the county lord of Kangping, and there were few little girls in the palace, so she would inevitably have to explain more in the future, and she still had to give a few more instructions.
Duanhui princess Wei Baozhen is fifteen years old, just after the ceremony, the temperament on weekdays is also with Concubine Yu, big grin and informal, although Concubine Yu is not very favored by the emperor, but the emperor has few daughters, and she is also very attentive to her, and she is also very pampered on weekdays.
Seeing her mother coming over in a hurry, she put down the embroidered bandage in her hand and asked very puzzled: "Mother, didn't you go to pick up the queen mother?" How did you get to me? Concubine Yu waved her hand and sent away the palace maids who were waiting in the house.
sat down next to his daughter and said, "Don't mention it, I didn't say anything after standing for a long time, and I had to listen to the queen and Concubine Shu's quarrels, which was annoying." As he spoke, he picked up his daughter's embroidered bandage, and as expected, he didn't know what kind of monster this embroidered was.
Seeing the teasing gaze of his mother, Wei Baozhen was very unhappy, "Mother, although my daughter is not good at embroidering, but with this hobby, you can't encourage and encourage, if everyone is like you, then can I still practice well?" ”
Concubine Yu knew the character of her daughter, and said unceremoniously: "Pull it down, you are the same as your mother, don't think about embroidering any masterpieces, you can see the appearance is almost the same, don't talk about it, my mother has something serious to tell you." ”
"There's a new snack in the Imperial Dining Room?" Wei Baozhen continued to pick up the embroidered bandage, and replied casually, Concubine Yu was not happy when she heard this, and took the embroidered bandage in her daughter's hand, and even the melon seeds were not knocked.
"Look at what you said, your mother is capable of this? I'm here to remind you that if you're going to make fun of your mother like this, I'm not going to tell you anything. "Wei Baozhen rarely sees her so serious.
"Okay, okay, if you have something, just say it, I won't embroider, you must listen carefully." Wei Baozhen knows better than anyone what kind of temperament her own mother is, Concubine Yu said: "Today, I saw the county lord of Kangping next to the queen mother, although I didn't see the girl show her face, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I knew that it was a bad one." ”
It's rare that there is a little sister in the palace, Wei Baozhen is still very interested, "Why is it not easy to mess with?" Could it be that he is still a hedgehog, and he will prick someone when he sees it, so it won't be enough, and it's not a pitiful little thing that no one cares about. ”
Concubine Yu shook her head, "Not really, anyway, she must be extremely smart, don't be clever when you deal with her in the future, and make calculations and tease others at will, so as not to be countercalculated by others when the time comes, I don't dare to resist the Queen Mother." ”
Wei Baozhen said helplessly: "What is the meaning of random calculation and teasing, that is someone who is Duanning is smart, if she is not stupid in front of me, I will not bother to deal with her." ”
Concubine Yu didn't argue with her, "Say whatever you want, anyway, you don't have to bully others, if the little girl is good, you can have more contacts, and you can let go of this embroidered bandage if someone speaks, it's really pitiful, follow you, suffer from old sins." ”
Wei Baozhen glanced at his mother, stood up and said: "Hearing you say this, it seems that the meeting gift I prepared is going to be changed, if we can really play together, it is not bad, but Kang Ping has a lot of troubles, and the attitude of my father, you are not worried?" ”
Concubine Yu continued to eat melon seeds with a big heart, "Hey, what do you care about so much, your father is a sick person, Kangping has the Empress Dowager Concubine to protect her, how can it be fine, you can rest assured and boldly associate with her, the mother concubine is not short-sighted." ”
Looking at her stupid mother's confident appearance, Wei Baozhen always felt a little hanging, but she didn't reject Wei Baofu, the two only met when they were very young, and later every year, she would symbolically let people send her some gifts, at that time, she only felt that she was pitiful without a father and mother, and she didn't have any other ideas.
"Concubine Shu, the mother is still less troublesome, that is a more powerful character than the queen, look at Yao Guifei, no matter how arrogant she is, it doesn't mean that you will be grounded." Wei Baozhen is also a thoughtful person, who can't be messed with in this palace, she can see it very clearly.
"Don't worry, I won't mess with anyone, anyway, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, I will be a concubine, as long as your grandfather and they are okay, our mothers will not be sad, and I am useless, I have not brought them benefits, and I have to protect them everywhere."
Although Concubine Yu is a person who has no big ambitions, she also cares about her mother's family, but she has no desire to compete for favor, and she does not like to deal with the emperor, it is her great blessing to have a daughter, and she can have a happy life on weekdays, which is also the result of her father and brother's ability.
Now she still wants to let her daughter marry back to her parents' family, so that she doesn't have to worry, if the emperor is gone in the future, her daughter will be bullied, but fortunately, although Duanhui is a princess, she is not pampered at all, and she is smarter and more sensible than her, and now her sister-in-law is eager to marry someone home as soon as possible.
"Mother also wants you to have more little sisters, you can move around more in the future, and you don't have to hide in the house all day long to embroider this Laoshzi, but don't get too involved in other people's affairs, don't be rash and help everything."
Wei Baozhen was also helpless: "Mother, I'm not a child anymore, I know how to behave, don't I say that the lord of Kangping County is good at business, maybe my daughter can learn more." ”
