Chapter 81 Thoughts
After the New Year's Festival, it finally entered the early spring, but the early spring in the imperial capital was still very cold, and the snow had begun to melt, and the air was full of cold wind, and the exhalation was full of white mist.
Hui Lan wore a crimson cloak of folded branches and white plums, and went in the direction of Cining Palace.
Yan Mama sent the palace maid to summon her to recite the scriptures to the Queen Mother every few days, but this time it was delayed for a few days, mainly because the women outside needed the Queen Mother to meet, and there were a lot of guests, so she couldn't take care of Huilan.
Entering the inner sanctum, Lilac took off her cloak for her and stood in the corner of the wall to wait.
Huilan went in and saluted first, "Ask the Queen Mother Yi'an, how many days have you been in good health?" ”
"Well, my head hurts a little, I sleep a little less, or you chant the scriptures work, these days the wife asks to see, some people don't see and can't, and the head of the mourning family is big."
"Queen Mother, it's good for me to help you knead and loosen your muscles and bones, and you can lie down and listen to it after you finish it, so the effect is good."
Hui Lan smiled obediently and asked for instructions.
The Queen Mother nodded kindly, "Okay." ”
Only then did Hui Lan step forward to help her massage her head and relieve her tense nerves.
In fact, I have come to Cining Palace a few times, and there are not many times to chat, mainly to help the Queen Mother chant scriptures, she has serious insomnia, and she wants to sleep well.
But even so, Hui Lan can enter the gate of Cining Palace, which is a big face, giving the prince face.
You must know that the emperor's concubines, even the third concubine and the queen are not liked by the queen mother, and they can't easily see her old man.
Helped her massage for a while and loosened her shoulders and back, and then let her lie down, Mama Yang ordered a small piece of benzoin she made.
Nowadays, most of the time, I have to rely on Huilan to make benzoin to sleep for a while.
Huilan sat on the side and began to chant the scriptures, and she didn't need books, so she came casually, and her voice was clear and catchy, which made the Queen Mother feel comfortable and sleepy.
No one in the inner hall dared to speak, not even panting loudly, only Hui Lan's subdued voice was smooth with a unique rhythm.
After a while, the Queen Mother fell asleep and snored.
Hui Lan did not stop but continued to read the scriptures, sitting there not in a hurry at all, but very indifferent and quiet.
Mama Yan nodded slightly appreciatively, this girl's temperament is attractive, making people feel very peaceful and comfortable, no wonder the prince spoils her, she has her good.
By the end of a volume of scriptures, the Queen Mother was already asleep.
Hui Lan smiled and got up to salute before exiting the inner hall, and Mama Yan followed.
"The Queen Mother said, you are a good boy, and no one dares to bully you if you abide by the rules."
"Thank you for the mention."
Huilan went back to Qinghui Garden, and on the way Lilac asked, "I'm back, and I didn't say anything." ”
"Silly girl, the Queen Mother doesn't need to talk to me so much, I have some use in her, this is the biggest face, some people can't enter the gate of Cining Palace. Don't rush, take your time. ”
"Yes."
Spring is coming, and the palace is beginning to prepare for the draft and the prince's wedding.
The show girl has entered the palace audition, and the side hall in the west has been full of people in the past few days, and it seems to be very lively.
Huilan has been nesting in the yard for the past few days and has not gone out, and she is too lazy to move in the cold spring.
Xiao Yuanzi came in, "Master." ”
"Come in, have something to say?"
"Did the slave see the princess and the girl of the Ma family in the garden?"
"Oh? Didn't the crown princess already decree marriage? Do you still have a draft? ”
Hui Lan didn't know much about this.
"Master, yes, the princess has not been drafted, and the draft must be serious, otherwise she will be criticized.
The Ma family has two daughters who are in the draft, and the slave glanced at it from a distance, but felt that the other one was much more stable than the last one. ”
"Probably because of the relationship with the queen's family, what is the use of the person who is not easy to control."
Xiao Yuanzi smiled, "The master is wise, but I also heard another news, in addition to the crown princess and the daughter of the Ma family entering the palace, the queen mother said that two more girls will be selected to enter the East Palace." ”
"Oh, then our East Palace should be lively, there are more people in this place, and the fence of our yard will be tightened in the future."
"Yes, the minion understands."
"Go ahead."
Hui Lan waved her hand lazily. Xiao Yuanzi retreated.
Nested on the collapse and took a nap, fell asleep in a daze, and felt someone approaching him in the haze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Chengze standing in front of the collapse, stretching out his hand to pinch her nose.
Li Chengze didn't succeed in the sneak attack, stretched out his hand and smiled awkwardly, "Woke you up?" ”
"What do you say?"
"Hey, hey! Don't sleep, sleep too much during the day and go sleepy at night. Is it good to get up and play a game of chess with Lonely? ”
Hui Lan was pulled to sit up and yawned.
"You can't win me, what's the fun."
Li Chengze flattened his mouth and glanced at her, "Stinky girl, don't say it, it's so faceless." No, you can play with me for a while. ”
"Well, why are you so happy today?"
"Today, in the court, my father praised Lone for his good work in the Criminal Department, which is really rare, and he is naturally in a good mood."
Li Chengze gradually found a way to deal with his father, and every time he had a meal, the effect was excellent, and now the relationship between father and son is closer than before.
"I thought you went to see the crown princess, these days are audition days."
Hui Lan laughed and teased him.
Li Chengze raised his head and glared at her, "The stinky girl dares to laugh at her loneliness." I'm going to get married after the draft, what's there to see, I'll see it sooner or later, this time people will catch the handle and laugh at me, why bother. ”
"I heard that the Queen Mother is going to choose two more people for you to come in, right?"
"It's to choose someone to come in, and you can't let the Ma family's family be dominant, and my father agreed."
"Congratulations to the prince, I have a beauty again."
Hui Lan smiled and clenched her fists to congratulate him.
Li Chengze knocked on her head angrily, "What's good?" I don't like any of them. ”
After speaking, he sighed again, and if he didn't like it, he would have to admit it to the door, and he couldn't help himself.
Huilan saw that he was really unhappy, and took his hand and shook it coquettishly, "Zelang, are people just jealous, why are you still angry."
What's more, the entry of the official daughter into the palace is related to whether your crown prince's position is stable, you don't have children now, and your brothers have children. ”
"Yes, I know, that's why I'm helpless, I can't help myself, Lan'er, I will always protect you, now it seems that it is good for you to have a child later, and it may not be a good thing to get involved in this storm."
Li Chengze sighed, and swallowed some words raw, he needs his son to stabilize the position of the crown prince, and the children represent the inheritance, which is very important.
Hui Lan smiled, "I know that Zelang loves me, I won't trouble you, I'm very well-behaved." ”
It doesn't matter how many women she enters, everyone competes for favor based on their abilities.
Li Chengze sighed and lowered his head to study the chessboard, hoping that the crown princess would compete for some anger and give birth to a son as soon as possible, so that he would be easy to deal with, and he would not have to breed everywhere, just like an animal.
The words are ugly, and this is the case, and the life and emotions of the royal descendants are not at all self-sufficient.
