Chapter 42: Drinking the First Snow, Determining the Fate (7)
Mama Yuchun took the small actors of Pear Flower Garden to stage a new play "Husband and Wife Watching the Lantern" for all the guests and friends who came to the snow banquet.
The Queen Mother likes this play very much, maybe older people like to be lively.
After singing this play, the queen mother and the emperor rewarded the little actors separately, which made Yuchun's mother so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and led the little actors to shout long live a thousand years, not to mention these.
Shan said that this Yuchun Mama looked at Xie Wan'en, pulled her legs and was about to leave, saw the stars on the small seat at a glance, paced over again, and looked left and right for a while.
"Ouch! I said Lafayette, this girl is the one she brought back two years ago? Mama Yuchun asked.
"Exactly."
Xing'er saw that it was Mama Yuchun who asked her, so she got up busily, gave a shallow blessing, and asked, "Mama Yuchun is good." ”
"You little girl, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and now you are a character like a shallot, and your appearance is more standard. What a big girl. Mama Yuchun smiled without concealing it.
"Queen Mother Lafayette, the old slave looks at this girl and is slender, and I have time to send her to our place twice, the old slave, I will also give her a straight body, how about it?"
"What are you going to say?"
"She follows you, I'm afraid it's the piano, chess, books, and paintings every day, and then the needlework girl is red, it's really boring. And the girl's family is so old, her waist is stiff, and her legs are bent, isn't it your kindness to lead her into the palace. The old slave is the best at the demeanor of the ** girl, so let this little girl go to my place to shop more. ”
"Xing'er, I haven't thanked Yuchun yet."
Xing'er was deeply blessed and expressed her gratitude.
"Ouch! The Queen Mother Galeries Lafayette, the emperor...... The old slave I, serving this time, is also tired, the wine I just burned is still on the kang table, the old slave will retire, go back to nap. Saying that, Mama Yuchun raised her hand and made a bow, turned around and left.
Yuchun had just walked out and turned back a few steps.
"Ouch! Look at my memory, Lafayette, let's make up our minds, this girl alone belongs to me**, I can't buy one and get two free! Saying that, Mama Yuchun pointed to the other two people on the small seat hypocritically.
"Go ahead! That good wine can't hook you, this house! Hahaha...... "The Queen Mother laughed happily.
"Queen Mother, you don't have to dislike it, the old slave is leaving." Mama Yuchun smiled at the corner of her mouth and waved her hand, this time she really left.
Mama Yuchun left, but the two words she said before she left pierced a person's heart, this person is Chen Yiqing, Mama Yuchun, said don't buy one get two free, Chen Yiqing didn't like to listen to the first one.
She wasn't interested in learning anything from Mama Yuchun, but when Yuchun said this now, it was as if she and Wang Zhen'er had dragged Xing'er, how could everything be a star? ! Xing'er is Xing'er again, Chen Yiqing muttered in her heart, and added another layer of hatred for Xing'er for no reason.
"Zhou Liang!" The Queen Mother shouted.
"The old slave is here."
"I remember that I saved two jade ruyi before, and you can take them."
"Yes."
"What does the queen mean?" Emperor Yude was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten to change your clothes?"
"Zitong said, the widow listened."
Queen Zhou made a gesture and glanced at Chen Yiqing and Wang Zhen'er's small seats. Emperor Yude suddenly realized, and said that he was confused and only cared about watching the play.
After a while, Zhou Liang came back with two brocade boxes, and ordered someone to set up a table and open it for everyone to see, one jasper Ruyi and one white jade Ruyi. All exude the unique warm light of jade.
"Mother, how do you think this is rewarded?" The emperor attaches more importance to the thousand-year-old Langya Wang family wants to give it white jade, and he is afraid that the queen mother has other ideas, so he asked.
"Your Majesty, the concubine looks at this white warmth and purity, which is most suitable for Miss Chen's temperament, and this jasper is crisp and neat, which is in line with Miss Wang's character, Queen Mother, do you think it's good for your sons to be distributed like this?"
The queen mother did not speak, the queen spoke first, took out the style of the princes' mothers, and said a few words into the heart of the queen mother. The Queen Mother nodded with a smile.
So Emperor Yude rewarded the two candidates for the crown princess Wang and Chen according to his words. There is no reward for the stars.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is not the beginning of the hour, Emperor Yude called this snow feast dispersed, the emperor, the queen mother, and the ladies of each palace went back to the palace to change clothes, ready to start the poetry club in the afternoon.
Xing'er and the other three followed the Queen Mother back to Shuqing Palace. Several close ministers and elders also went to the Wenjin Pavilion to rest.
Yujing Pavilion only left the princes and Di Pingru, and the princes were also rare to be able to relax for half a day, without the emperor and the queen mother, and there were no ministers of Taifu Shaobao, it was rare to gather in a relaxed place to chat, chatting happily, and even the six princes refused to go back.
On the way back to Yujing Pavilion to Yukun Palace, Xue Meiren accompanied Queen Luan back to the palace on foot, and the queen didn't say a word along the way, Xue Meiren seemed to feel that something was wrong, and she had been following cautiously.
Finally, Luan drove to a stop in the back of Yukun Palace, Xue Meiren stepped forward to help, and Queen Zhou pushed her away. Xue Meiren stumbled and sat on the snow.
"Gravity! You slave, why do you have no vision so much? Let the beautiful lady come to the palace?! You're all dead?! The queen said angrily.
"The slave knows that it is wrong, and the slave knows that it is wrong! Please punish the queen! The center of gravity and others hurriedly knelt down to confess the guilt.
In this case, the center of gravity will never dare to beg for mercy, in fact, a discerning person can know at a glance who the queen's words are for.
"The queen mother, it's all the fault of the concubines, you can spare them."
Xue Meiren was busy helping the center of gravity and others, Queen Zhou didn't speak, and the center of gravity and others didn't dare to get up. Seeing this, Xue Meiren also hurriedly knelt down.
"The queen mother, it's all the concubine's fault, if you want to punish you, punish me alone."
When Queen Zhou saw Xue Meiren like this, she didn't pay attention to her and walked away. The center of gravity quickly got up to keep up and helped Queen Zhou back to the palace. Xue Meiren hurriedly followed.
As soon as she entered the Yukun Palace, Queen Zhou gave Xue Meiren a big mouth when she returned her hand, Xue Meiren was beaten by the queen and her eyes turned black, and she fell to her knees when she swayed.
"You daring slut! Up and down the palace, who doesn't know that Mama Yuchun is the intimate person of the queen mother and the emperor, and the prince of the northern country?! She talked like that, the Queen Mother didn't care, you little beauty, you really think you are the queen mother of the main palace?! Queen Zhou said hatefully.
"Huh? Prince? Could it be that Mama Yuchun is a man? Xue Meiren was surprised
"Ahh When you came to the palace to serve, your old lady didn't give you anything to say, what to say and what not to say? You eyeless thing! Since you have entered the palace, you should have known the taboos in the palace as early as possible, why bother to be so ugly?! ”
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the concubine really doesn't know, the concubine only thinks that Yuchun Mama is a slave, if the concubine had known what kind of person he is, she wouldn't have bumpered with this Hades today, the queen mother ......"
As she spoke, Xue Meiren hid her face and cried.
"That jade is pure and sprinkling to make her habitual, except for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, who is in her eyes? Even this palace usually has to let her a few points, you are a little beauty with no taste and no rank, and you dare to be the master in front of her?! Phew! Queen Zhou stroked her chest angrily, and she couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time.
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, be angry again...... Xue Meiren can't afford it. The center of gravity hurriedly stepped forward and patted Queen Zhou's back.
That Xue Meiren, kneeling on the ground, lost her backbone, she was crying vigorously, and her previous domineering energy was all dispersed at this moment.
"Xue Meiren, you should persuade ...... well" The focus was originally to let Xue Meiren say two words begging for mercy, but was interrupted by Queen Zhou.
"You still pick on others to behave badly, oh, my beautiful lady, let's see it soon! What she did was the great gift of Fanbang in the north, the Dun'er ceremony, in the north, it was the big gift of the daughter's family, you are still picking and choosing here, and you don't know it if you miss it, and you don't let people laugh at it privately. Queen Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and scolded again.
"On weekdays, when you are the body of the palace, I have given you more face, and the palace has not been less involved with you and the emperor in the emperor's place, and I have said good things about you, and this is all in vain!"
Queen Zhou scolded, sat in the chair and leaned back, and quickly took the hand stove from the little girl's hand and handed it over, and she didn't dare to take a breath, their mother has always been cautious and harsh, but now Xue Meiren bumped into it, but she did it herself.
"The queen's mother, the concubine, the concubine is wrong." Xue Meiren sobbed and hurriedly kowtowed, "You can beat and scold, but don't be angry." ”
The center of gravity saw that Xue Meiren was also crying very pitifully, and saw that Queen Zhou's anger was a little smoother, so she tentatively came up and said something good.
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, the beauty has already known that she is wrong, she has been kneeling there for a long time, and the ground is very cold in this winter......"
Empress Zhou glanced at Xue Meiren and snorted.
"Queen Mother, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, Xue Meiren is the niece of the old lady, she will still be your helper in the future, I will spare her today."
But it turned out that this Xue Meiren was the maiden niece of the old lady of Queen Zhou's mother, and she usually relied on her identity as a cousin of Queen Zhou to show off her power in this palace.
Queen Zhou has been raised in her grandmother and uncle's house since she was a child, and her relationship with Mrs. Zhou's maiden family is very deep, and she has been in the palace for many years.
Today, Xue Meiren has such a big mess, no wonder Queen Zhou is like thunder. Even my cousin can't teach me well, how can I restrain others in the future?! Command the harem?! So doubly angry.
The center of gravity saw that Queen Zhou's anger eased slightly, and hurriedly gave Xue Meiren a look, telling her to hurry up and climb the pole with family affection.
"Yes, cousin, I'm me, I'm wrong, cousin, spare me, don't dare to talk nonsense next time. Don't be angry, it's only right that your body is right. Xue Meiren cried and hit her head on the ground again.
Hum! Empress Zhou snorted again, and she was completely relieved.
"You, get up!" Queen Zhou relieved her mouth, and hurriedly went over to support Xue Meiren.
"How long will I remember in the future, don't talk nonsense, your cousin and I, although we are the masters of the six palaces, but we are also walking on thin ice, you have also seen it, which lady is a fuel-efficient lamp? What's more, there is also the Queen Mother above. Hey......"
Xue Meiren hurriedly took the soothing tea brought by the little maid and presented it to the queen. The queen took two sips and forgave her.
The two chatted for a while, and Queen Zhou sent Xue Meiren back to change her clothes, and then went to the palace together. That's it.
