Chapter 245: Fifty boards each
Hearing Du Qiu's good words about the Uighurs, Luoluo was slightly stunned, "Aunt Du Qiu thinks he is good?" ”
Du Qiu nodded, "He has been obsessed with you since the last time we met, and several years have passed in between, and he is learning about you...... From this point of view, it is better for you to go to harmony than to marry any Central Plains man. ”
Luoluo lowered his head and thought for a while, "However, I am still a little reluctant to leave my hometown." ”
Du Qiu smiled, "The princess asked herself, what have Chang'an and the palace given you over the years, do you like this kind of life?" ”
Do you like it? For her, it seems that the happiest days were many years ago, when she followed her mother on the expedition, she knew that there was a sea and sky beyond the imperial city, and that there was such a thing as freedom in this world.
Du Qiu saw what she was thinking, and continued: "The princess doesn't have to worry about the queen mother, the queen mother also has Princess Qiyang. The princess can get what she wants, and it must be what the Queen Mother wants to see the most. ”
The most critical point was that Du Qiu didn't say it, and she didn't mention it, but both of them thought of it. With the Uighurs, you will be able to escape from the clutches of your Majesty forever, and you will not have to face the unwarranted and tiresome concubines that Your Majesty has brought with you.
It is said that although the Uighur khans and their princes could marry many women, each woman had her own tent, and may not even be in the same steppe, and these women were relatively equal among themselves. And the women on the grassland should be more open-minded, so that they will not only care about competing for favor every day like in the palace, fighting to the death.
Luoluo was silent for a long time, and then slowly showed his face, "Aunt Du Qiu, you are right, I am thinking too much. ”
She picked up her skirt and strode towards the Penglai Palace.
Du Qiu looked at her back, his eyes were a little moist. A princess is a princess after all, and even if she encounters all these obstacles and tribulations, she still has a chance to get out of a difficult situation and find her own life. If time can be turned back a little, if she is still young enough, she also hopes to follow Wang Zhaojun and leave this palace!
When Empress Dowager Guo ordered someone to relay the matter of Princess Taihe's agreement to make peace, the Uighur prince, who had always been known for his steady and shrewdness, was stunned for half a pillar of incense, and then slapped himself, "I...... Isn't it really a dream? ”
The person who delivered the message was the father-in-law of Sishun next to the Empress Dowager Guo, who is now the head of the Daming Palace. He smiled and saw that Sattler was as happy as a child, and after a long pause, he asked, "I wonder how many Kedun and how many children there are in His Royal Highness Prince's family now?" ”
How many Kolduns, how many children? Yu Sattler was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, this is the meaning of the queen mother, this is to see how to prepare dowries and gifts for the princess at that time, and also to plan for the princess's future life by the way.
"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, when he last went to the Tang Dynasty, he had just made a marriage contract. It's just that after meeting the princess, Hosatler no longer has the heart to marry, so the marriage contract is dissolved. Now...... and had no children. ”
Giving up your engagement for a woman who may not have access to it at all, and not even having an heir? Sishun was a little unconvinced, "His Royal Highness the prince said to the old slave. ”
"It's not a joke, but Sattaler swears with the dignity of a Uighur prince and doesn't hide it." ”
Sishun saw that he was serious, so he believed it, and hurriedly bowed deeply, "So, thank Your Highness for your love, and the old slave will go back to the Queen Mother." ”
When Li Heng learned the news, it was already the next day, and everyone in the palace knew that the Uighurs had proposed marriage to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager agreed to marry Princess Taihe to the second prince of the Uighurs, Ho Satler, and perhaps Li Heng himself was the last person to know.
As expected, he lost his temper in the Zichen Palace, and then asked Shiquan to take the highest concentration of sorghum wine in the palace and get drunk.
The queen mother in the Penglai Palace was looking through her original dowry list at this time to see what could be kept as the dowry of Princess Taihe.
The princess in the palace is harmonious, and the Ministry of Rites naturally wants to plan well and give a decent dowry from the palace. But she, as a mother, naturally has to give a share, by the way, and King Shu's share can't be missing.
She rummaged through them, always feeling that things were not good enough, and complained to herself: "Why can't I find some good things, I heard that the climate in the Uighurs is much colder than ours, and the mink should bring a few more pieces ......"
Sishun couldn't help laughing, "Niangniang, there is a grassland on the Uighur side, and the most fur is produced, and the best furs we have here are also obtained from the Uighur market, and this is brought back by box after box?" ”
I just wanted to bring more things, but I forgot about it. Empress Dowager Guo still disagreed: "What about the fur produced by the Uighurs, it's always right to bring more, could it be that you haven't even figured out the southeast and northwest over there, so you're busy shopping everywhere first?" ”
At this time, a little eunuch outside came to report that His Majesty was drunk, and Empress Dowager Guo waved her hand impatiently, "Don't tell the mourning family about those who are unhappy, that bastard boy, there is no distinction between right and wrong all day long, let him mess around!" ”
The little eunuch had no choice but to retreat, and couldn't help but silently slander, whether this majesty was born to the queen mother!
However, the next day, something happened again.
Empress Dowager Guo does not go to the early court every day, such as now, because the day of harmony is urgent, she has to be busy preparing for the dowry of Princess Taihe, so she simply does not even go to the court, and only tells the Guo brothers and His Majesty that if there is anything important, you can come to Penglai Hall to inform you.
In the morning, he casually sent the greetings of those little concubines, and continued to study the dowry list. At this time, there was a little eunuch outside to probe his brain, Sishun went out for a while, and when he came back, his face was not very good.
Empress Dowager Guo raised her head idly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Sishun hesitated for a moment, "It's Wu Jieyu who ......beat the beauty of the Zilan Palace."
Empress Dowager Guo frowned, obviously a little displeased: "Wu Jieyu? The mourning family knew that the girl was not a troublemaker, how could it be her again! After a pause, he asked, "What is it for this time?" ”
Si Shun said: "Yesterday, Your Majesty originally turned over Wu Jieyu's brand, but as a result, Later, Your Majesty drank too much, so somehow, I went to the Zilan Hall in a daze." As a result, Wu Jieyu found out today, so she made a fuss, and on the way back, she had an argument with Wang Meiren, and slapped Wang Meiren a few times, and I heard that her whole face was swollen......"
"Is there such a thing?" Empress Dowager Guo muttered a little in her heart, although Wu Jieyu is unconscious, she should not be so talkative. She is a third-grade Jieyu, and the Wang family is a fourth-grade beauty, only one level lower than her, and it is said that she has no right to beat people.
Empress Dowager Guo said: "One or two are unconscious. Summoning Wu Jieyu and Wang Meiren to come over. ”
After a while, both of them came, and Wang Meiren's face was really swollen, and her eyes were almost invisible. looked at Wu Jieyu again, but she was also crying, looking like a pear blossom with rain, if she hadn't heard it before, she thought that someone else had bullied her.
Empress Dowager Guo's gaze swept over the faces of the two, a little stern, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Before Wang Meiren could speak, Wu Jieyu took the lead, stepped forward, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief aggrievedly, "It's okay, there was some misunderstanding between our sisters, who knew that it alarmed the Queen Mother, and it was the concubine who should die." ”
Not to mention right or wrong, first admit the mistake from the side level, but it is also a powerful one. If it weren't for the fact that there was the matter of the princess and the princess in front of her, I am afraid that even the Empress Dowager Guo would have believed her.
That Wang Meiren was even more aggrieved, half-covering her swollen face, whimpering, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, it's not a misunderstanding, Wu Jieyu was jealous of the concubine's favor last night, so she made this poisonous move......."
Empress Dowager Guo beckoned to her, "Come over and let the mourning family take a look." ”
When the Wang beauty came over, the Empress Dowager Guo looked at her face and said suspiciously: "There are no finger marks, and it doesn't look like a beating, what is going on?" ”
That Wang Meiren obviously didn't expect Empress Dowager Guo to ask like this, so she had to tell the truth, "It's Wu Jieyu...... She knew that her concubine was allergic to oleander pollen, but she deliberately smeared oleander pollen on her hands, and the result was ......"
Wu Jieyu still looked pitiful, "How does the concubine know, the concubine just walked by the Taiye Pool, and saw that the oleander bloomed well, and she liked it, so she picked two." If the concubine knew that Sister Wang was allergic to oleander, the concubine would say that she would not touch the flower......
Empress Dowager Guo suddenly understood, it was another matter of crows and the bottom of the pot being blacker. No one is clean, it's just that this time Wang Meiren's chess is just a bad move.
Wasn't Li Heng drunk yesterday, anything can happen when he is drunk, I'm afraid that the people below will lead him wherever he goes. What little actions did this Wang Beauty do behind her back, who knows!
As for Wu Jieyu, if she doesn't know, I'm afraid that only Heng'er will believe it.
In the past, when she was a concubine, she didn't know how many such small actions there were, but fortunately, Chun was still shrewd.
Thinking of Chun, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, he was so ruthless, he left her alone in this cold Daming Palace!
Empress Dowager Guo sighed lightly, looked at the two women who were pretending to be pitiful, and suddenly felt a kind of boredom in her heart for no reason.
"Okay, the mourners are tired. Since the Wang family is allergic, then ask the imperial doctor to take a good look at it, and ask Sanshou to remove the green head card first, and within this month, don't accept the favor. ”
She gently stroked the thick bear skin on the head cushion in the chair, stood up, and glanced at Wu Jieyu who was happy on the front, "Although it is not a crime to know it, but after living in the palace for so long, the habits and taboos between sisters are not known at all, and it is too reckless." Wu went to the Buddha Hall to kneel for three days, and then copied a hundred copies of the Diamond Sutra, when to finish copying, and when to come out again. ”
