Chapter 145 King Lin meets Zhu Xun for the first time
Yusengong Rakujudo
It is said that the granddaughter-in-law is pregnant, and she will be able to live in the same house for four generations soon, and the Empress Dowager Guo should be elated, even if it is not so intense, she should be full of joy and smile to welcome people for a few days, right?
But no, Empress Dowager Guo was a little more sad in private, not a long sigh, which caused a clever idea.
Qiaoxin lifted the ban, and was left by the Empress Dowager Guo's side, and now she is like the atmosphere of the big palace maid next to the Queen Mother, and her status is close to Aunt Liyue, but even if she is a big palace maid, she can't go beyond Liyue and Gui Chun after all.
Aunt Liyue and Mama Gui Chun are not mortals in front of the Queen Mother, one is in charge of the harem and palace affairs, and one of the Queen Mother's most considerate cronies, on many occasions, the appearance of Mama Gui Chun, that is, if the Queen Mother comes in person, who dares to underestimate it?
But ingenuity can quickly win the heart of the Queen Mother, which is nothing more than these points: knowing right from wrong, being sensible, abiding by the rules, not fighting, not grabbing, and not talking.
Such a person is just right, the person who is the queen mother, Gui Chun is a big fan after all, and Liyue is busy with the affairs of the room all year round, although he is the queen mother's henchman, but in the end he can't be in front of him every day, and today's ingenuity just fills this gap.
However, the ingenuity is no longer the previous ingenuity, more, in order to protect herself, in order to be able to walk out of the palace safely.
When Qiaoxin found out that the Empress Dowager Guo was not full of joy in the face of Wang Zhen'er's pregnancy, she paid more attention to it, but when the Empress Dowager Guo sighed for several days, Qiaoxin was completely sure that there was something strange about this matter, could it be that the Empress Dowager hid some shocking secret?
Qiaoxin served the Queen Mother more carefully, while trying to find clues, she was more attentive, and wanted to keep herself out of the matter, at least in the matter of Wang Zhen'er, and try not to contact it.
Finally, in the afternoon of this day, the Queen Mother finally sent her and Juan Xin Xiuxin to send supplements to Concubine Xian and the Wang family. Juan Xin Xiuxin, she had already had the idea of going to the yard well, but it was inconvenient to say, so Qiaoxin opened her mouth first.
"Two sisters, I must have wanted to take a stroll in the garden for a long time, why don't I send it myself, you can go back early."
"Yikes! That's great! Show heart! Juan Xin jumped up happily, but was glared back by Xiuxin.
"Yo! Sister Qiaoxin, I'm afraid you're a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and you don't have any good intentions, right? Presumably knowing that the masters will have a reward, they want to eat it alone, right? "Although Xiuxin is dexterous, she is also stupid.
"You!" Qiaoxin was choked by her words and didn't speak for a long time.
Skillfully sorted out the supplements given to the two palaces, took the two supplements apart, and the center of gravity collided together, all of which were stuffed into Xiuxin's hands.
"If my sister goes for the reward, my sister won't be touched by this light, and I will go to the back kitchen alone to make a snack for the Queen Mother and her old man, these two supplements, all of them have two sisters, and the Queen Mother said that I called you to send supplements, and I didn't tell me to go myself, so there will be labor." Let's talk about it, I want to go.
"Sister Qiaoxin!" Juan Xin grabbed her.
Juan Xin is different from Xiuxin, Xiuxin still followed the queen to this Tangquan Palace, every time the palace travels, Xiuxin is arranged to stay in Shuqing Palace to see the courtyard, never came once, so, I especially want to take a stroll in this royal garden, if you can have time to soak in the hot springs, it is to see a huge market.
"What? Don't you go with me?! "Qiaoxin didn't give a good face.
"Sister Qiaoxin, Xiuxin didn't mean to, she only blamed me, she snatched her dishes at noon, this time, she was hypocritical with me, just in time for you to tell this matter." Juan Xin hurriedly explained.
Juan Xin doesn't dare to walk around the Queen Mother on weekdays, although she is also serving in the Shuqing Palace, but because she is relatively timid, she has never been close to the Queen Mother, and she never dares to get close to the Queen Mother, so some of the rough work in the main hall of the Shuqing Palace is also hers.
Although Juanxin is timid, in Qiaoxin's view, Juanxin is indeed more clever than Xiuxin, and she understands how to protect herself better.
Under the constant color of Juanxin, Xiuxin reluctantly admitted that she was playing petty. Qiaoxin naturally couldn't agree quickly, and reluctantly twisted for a long time.
In the end, it was finally decided that Juan Xinxiu went to the palace complex on the West Road to send supplements to the prince's side concubine, and she went to the virtuous concubine to send supplements.
After this operation, Qiaoxin is almost going to caress his chest, although he usually stumbles with Xiuxin, it is just a small trick, today, he really has to be thoughtful about his own matter of going to see the virtuous concubine, and carefully planned, and to calculate the character of the two girls, I am so tired.
Qiaoxin finally realized that it was not easy to survive in the palace, once a young self, and was surprised by the intentions of the palace ladies to compete for favor, but now, after being locked up for nearly two years, he finally learned that to survive in this palace, he must always be careful.
Juan Xin and Xiuxin walked away with the gift box, and Qiaoxin calmed her mind a little, so she took the gift box and walked towards the virtuous concubine without hurrying.
Yes, the more anxious you are, the more calm you have to be.
Came to the Pushi Hall where the virtuous concubine lived, Qiaoxinfu bowed, and presented the queen mother's reward for the fetal tonic, after the virtuous concubine checked, her heart was full of joy, it was the bird's nest of the Java country, you must know that the bird's nest of the Java country is more difficult to find than the Siam country.
The virtuous concubine was happy in her heart, so she rewarded Qiaoxin with some silver money, thanking her for running a trip, Qiaoxin didn't dare to take it, and the slave ran away, which was within the division, where did she dare to ask for a reward.
"Sister Qiaoxin, you can accept it, this is a piece of our mother's heart, and it is also for the little prince and little princess who are silent." Lianxin stuffed the reward of the virtuous concubine into her hand.
After thanking him skillfully, he reluctantly tucked the reward into his sleeve pocket.
"Niangniang......" cleverly wanted to speak and stopped.
The virtuous concubine looked at the color of her face, and knew that she had something to say, so she found an excuse.
"Oh? I'm afraid that this Javanese bird's nest still has some secret recipes and taboos to tell this palace? ”
Qiaoxin nodded, and the virtuous concubine retreated.
Qiaoxin went forward, and Qiaoxin told Concubine Xiangui about all kinds of performances since the Queen Mother learned that Wang Zhen'er was happy in the past few days, and also told her her her questions.
"Are you saying that the Queen Mother is not very happy about the fact that the Wang family has ruined the eldest grandson of the emperor, and she often sighs?" The virtuous concubine frowned.
Qiaoxin nodded.
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the Queen Mother is looking forward to her grandson, but she has been looking forward to it for several years, every time the prince and the princess are present together, the Queen Mother will hint intentionally or unintentionally, urging them to conceive earlier, how can they finally have it, and ......"
Concubine Xiangui said what she thought, and went to see Qiaoxin again, but Qiaoxin was also at a loss.
According to the slave maid's observation in the past few days, the queen mother seems to be hiding some secrets. Not only did he sigh, but he became more and more cautious. Qiaoxin continued.
Concubine Xian nodded and looked at the hour again.
"This palace knows, you go back first! If the Queen Mother still has a reward in a few days, you don't come, or don't come alone. "The virtuous concubine is thorough.
"The slave and maid understood, and the slave and maid retired." He was blessed with a good heart, and then turned and left.
After a while, Concubine Xian called Lianxin in again.
"Mother." Lotus heart blesses the body.
"Go and prepare the study, and call her." The virtuous concubine commanded.
Lianxin went down, and after a while, the paper, pen, ink and inkstone were ready, and the virtuous concubine hastily wrote a line of words, stuffed it into an envelope, glued it with sealing wax, and stamped it with her private seal in the boudoir.
After a while, he pulled a eunuch in Tsing Yi Palace's suit, but this eunuch did not have an Adam's apple, although his face was resolute.
"Qinglan to the mother, please be safe!" The man performed the courtesy of a chamberlain.
"You, still pretending to be a eunuch?" Concubine Xian smiled.
"It's convenient." The man spoke briefly.
"There is a letter here in the palace, you can send it to the second master's mansion for the time being, and ask the second master to send it home to check." Concubine Xian handed her the letter.
"Qinglan obeys." The man took the letter into his bosom, saluted and turned to leave, and walked away.
"Niangniang, why is this blue girl always dressed as a eunuch, it looks so strange." Lianxin looked at the back of the man leaving and whispered.
"Hey, forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, when she saved her, she wanted to stay by her side when she saw her, but she begged the palace to be a eunuch, and the palace had to ask the emperor to let her be a eunuch who delivered official documents, not only did not contact with other eunuchs, but also fulfilled her own wishes, why not?
But...... Qinglan can still be used by me, which can be regarded as saving her in vain. ”
Concubine Xian said lightly.
Lianxin came over to help her and walked to the bedside to feed the fish.
"Niangniang, what Qiaoxin just said is very strange!" Lianxin said.
"Even you think it's weird?" Concubine Xian twisted a little bait and sprinkled it into the white jade fish tank little by little.
"Of course! Every time there are more people, the queen mother will urge the princess to quickly conceive a child with the prince in front of everyone. Lian Xin shook her head and scoffed at the princess Chen's pretentiousness.
"Hahaha!" Concubine Xian couldn't help but hide her face and smile when she saw Lianxin's appearance, and she didn't hold a handful of fish food, all of which fell into the fish tank, attracting more than a dozen to grab food.
Lianxin hurriedly filled Concubine Xian with a small spoonful of bait.
"You girl, don't show disgust in front of people, that Chen seems to be the tip of the queen mother's heart, turn around and offend her, she doesn't look like a generous person." The virtuous concubine lightly instructed her minions.
"Niangniang, please rest assured, I have served by Niangniang's side for many years, I haven't seen any fancy intestines, we have treated it kindly, besides, the crown princess was so vicious to Xing'er before......" Lianxin suddenly stopped, as if she felt that she had said something that she shouldn't have said.
"That's it, since you know, don't go around talking about it, that girl is also bored, and she is too young, but she has experienced a lot in the past few years." Concubine Xian threw out the last bit of fish food in her hand and dusted her hands, and Lianxin rushed to deliver a wet hand towel to clean her hands.
"This palace is looking at it, Jinhua's girl seems to have become a master and apprentice with the emperor, and she is happy for her." The virtuous concubine elegantly put on the armor one by one.
"In front of me, I'm afraid that this palace will pull out a big secret......"
