Chapter 321: The Queen and the Concubine
Wan Yuanyuan only knew that Zheng Lingyi was going to enter the palace, and said: "Shuqing originally said that she would come tomorrow, so I told her to change the day." ”
Qiao Shuqing has been living in Wanyuanyuan Courtyard these days, and Mrs. Qiao is determined to marry her to the city, she is still quite knowledgeable, and she didn't stick to Zheng Lingyi to ask her to help, and now she is also a person in the same boat with Wan Yuanyuan, anyone can not help with this, Wan Yuanyuan can't help.
Zheng Lingyi heard the meaning of Wan Yuanyuan, how much she wanted to touch the light, she felt that she was just the glow of the fireflies, there was nothing to stain, but others didn't think so, Zheng Lingyi didn't bother to explain, so that people thought she was still picking up the tone.
Shen Qin was also going to enter the palace, but Brother Sheng suddenly fell ill, she and Chen Zhu were like great enemies, and they didn't want any maids and mothers-in-law, and they kept their children with meat and meat every inch of their lives.
On the second day, Zheng Lingyi waited for Shen Qin at the door of the house and couldn't wait, but waited for the news, thinking about going to see Brother Sheng, but he couldn't be so willful.
"Well, I'm going to see the child early tomorrow, why are you sick so well? Didn't you refresh your spirits that day? Zheng Lingyi muttered to himself, and got into the carriage with Luzhu's hand.
Zheng Lingyi has seen Queen Zhao Huang from afar a few times, always dressed up, the corners of the eyebrows, eyes and lips are delicately outlined, and the lines are all raised, even if she is not smiling, she is still laughing.
Zheng Lingyi strangled his hair a few times, and he could indeed look energetic and imposing, but after he relaxed, his scalp really hurt badly, and he never tried again.
Zheng Lingyi's position today is slightly higher than the previous times, she knew in her heart that it was Wu Punishment who had to be used in front of the emperor, and after following the little palace maid to sit down, she found that she actually sat in front of the Lu family and Zheng Yanru.
Lu Shi stiffened his face and deliberately didn't look at her, Zheng Yanru smiled at her reluctantly, and her expression was very embarrassed.
Although the Guogong Mansion is in the twilight, Zheng Guogong is still there, this bit of face is to be given, so deliberately lifting Zheng Lingyi in front of the Lu family, is it because he can afford her? Zheng Lingyi is not stupid to this extent.
But why did it go this way, Zheng Lingyi couldn't figure it out for a while.
Some of the ladies who recognized them covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and whispered, their eyes were playful, and Zheng Lingyi could only pretend to be okay and sit down.
"Sister."
Zheng Shuangshuang's voice suddenly sounded behind Zheng Lingyi, she was still secretly looking for her just now, but she didn't expect Zheng Shuangshuang Taurus to take the initiative to appear and call her sister.
When Zheng Lingyi turned his head in surprise, Zheng Shuangshuang was smiling at Zheng Yanru, and the smile was kind, but he quickly turned his head to look at Zheng Lingyi, and said softly: "The queen and the concubine want to see you, sister." ”
She didn't speak in a loud voice, but if the person next door listened with bated breath, she could listen to seven or eight points.
"See me?" Zheng Lingyi was even more puzzled.
Zheng Shuangshuang stretched out his hand towards her and said, "Don't be afraid, it's a good thing." ”
Before Zheng Lingyi could react, he asked Zheng Shuangshuang to take him away, what did this queen concubine suddenly want to see her little girl?
Even if Zheng Shuangshuang said that it was a good thing, she was still nervous, and Zheng Lingyi couldn't think about the reaction of others for the time being.
Lu Shi took a deep breath, trying not to reveal his true emotions, Zheng Yanru watched Zheng Shuangshuang and Zheng Lingyi slowly walk forward, and when his gaze was withdrawn, it fell on Lu Shi's slightly trembling fingertips.
"Mother, why bother." Zheng Yanru said unintentionally.
"If it weren't for you, if I weren't for you, would I be able to suffer the humiliation of this girl here?" Lu Shi pretended to eat dried apricots, and covered his face with his sleeve and said.
"I don't think the fifteenth sister may know, even if the queen uses her to beat the side drum for us." Zheng Yanru was so upset, but she still had to comfort Lu Shi with a good voice.
Lu Shi gritted his teeth and said, "You are considerate!" ”
Zheng Yanru raised her glass to the Wen family not far away, and said in a low voice: "Mother, at least endure this time." ”
"I've been raising her for so many days, and the little slut usually pretends to be good in front of me, but in a blink of an eye, she got together!" How could Lu Shi not be angry, drank a glass of light wine, and attracted some women's sideways glances, she smiled hypocritically, pretending to be nothing.
"Shuangmei still respects you, but she doesn't want to do things for that one. I see that it's a good thing that she didn't touch her hands at first, but if she did, I'm afraid we won't even be able to take this position today. ”
Zheng Yanru's words calmed down Lu's surging emotions a little, Lu knew that she was telling the truth, there was never an equal division in this harem, one person is strong, and one person is destined to be weak.
Zheng Lingyi was standing in front of the queen and the concubine at this moment, and only after hearing a 'flat body' did she slowly raise her head.
"Well, it's a good look from a distance, Concubine Zheng, look at your sister up close, it's a little more beautiful than you." The queen looked at Zheng Lingyi with a light smile, even if her mouth was gentle, she still had a sense of distance from royal heaven.
Song Guifei also smiled faintly at her, although she had no majesty, she had a natural sense of alienation.
Zheng Shuangshuang smiled and said, "Why did the queen mother say that? But tired of getting up every morning in my palace to pick the dew on the petals, it should also be the natural beauty of my sister. ”
Zheng Lingyi even slowed down her breathing in front of the queen, and when she saw Zheng Shuangshuang talking and laughing so casually, she thought that she was a woman in the palace after all, and she was different from them.
"Thank you, Queen, for the compliment." Zheng Lingyi said a little embarrassed.
"Look." The queen mother said, and asked the little palace maid next to her to bring over a small plate, and what was contained in the small plate was clearly the honey stuffed orange peel sauce that Zheng Lingyi made for Zheng Mianmian.
"I made the imperial dining room imitate the orange peel sauce you gave to Concubine Zheng, but now it's autumn, and there is no clear mouth in summer." The queen said with some regret, as if she was still reminiscing.
Zheng Lingyi guessed that Zheng Shuangshuang used this sauce to make some pastries for the queen, which won the queen's favor, which gave Zheng Lingyi this opportunity to come forward and speak.
"Does the queen like to eat grapefruit?" Hearing Zheng Lingyi speak, Zheng Shuangshuang carefully paid attention to every word she said.
The queen frowned slightly, like a gentle but cold Bodhisattva suddenly contaminated with the fireworks of the world, Zheng Lingyi remembered something in her mind, this queen's grade, I am afraid that it is not far from her.
Song Guifei smiled with crooked eyes: "Niangniang thinks grapefruit is bitter, and she got on fire a few days ago, so she refused to coax her to eat some." ”
Sure enough, Song Guifei's smile became more beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were vivid, no longer just like a beauty picture.
The queen held a string of long Yingluo in her hand and waved it at Song Guifei, the pearl and jade collided, crisp and moving, and said: "It's really a bad mouth." ”
This intimacy is really not fake, a queen, a concubine, can be like this?
Xu is acting? Or is it true?
Zheng Lingyi suppressed his curiosity for the time being, and said with a smile: "The grapefruit is bitter because of the skin and white veins, if you remove every thread finely, and then boil it with rock sugar or honey, it is also very flavorful, and it also has the effect of moistening the throat." In fact, today's concubine body also brought an altar to the little sister, if the mother does not dislike the concubine's rough craftsmanship, or mixed with water, or dipped in rice cakes, you can try it. ”
Concubine Song glanced at Zheng Shuangshuang and said to Zheng Lingyi, "Mrs. Wu made it herself?" ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled at Zheng Shuangshuang, Zheng Shuangshuang subconsciously wanted to smile back at her, but he didn't know why he couldn't laugh.
The queen smiled: "Since it is for Concubine Zheng, how can you win love?" Now that you've given the recipe, the palace will let the imperial dining room do it. Today, this orange peel sauce is on the table, so you can also sit down and try it. ”
Zheng Ling agreed, looked at Zheng Shuangshuang and smiled, and slowly went back.
"Concubine Zheng is so blessed, she can still have a sister who will be worried about her every day in the years to come." Song Guifei said as if she had moved.
Zheng Shuangshuang knew that this was not easy to answer, so he could only laugh at it.
"Concubine Zheng take a seat." The queen looked at Concubine Zheng and said this, her eyes fell on Song Guifei, and her worry flashed, and she quickly covered it up.
Song Guifei's sister Song Zhi, I am afraid that she will live elsewhere with her husband in the future.
At the moment, there was no one else but her confidants, and the queen specially summoned Song Guifei to her side and said, "Tian'er, don't patronize and eat, and help me keep an eye on those sisters to see if there is anything wrong." ”
Song Guifei said angrily: "It's really nonsense, I seem to be a fool when I say it." ”
These words are casual, but they are really the tone of a friend in the boudoir.
Jokes aside, Song Tian really paid attention to the queen, the queen and her mother have already discussed, and there are only a few candidates for her eye, the queen has mentioned it many times, and Song Tian has long remembered it.
Looking at the past one by one, there are unsatisfactory points, this one looks too wooden, that one has a bad demeanor, Song Tian secretly nitpicks for a while, and said in his heart, "Am I too harsh?" Where are there so many people in the world who are both internal and external? That guy doesn't necessarily deserve to be a good girl. ’
Song Tian didn't know if he had been going to the queen's palace too often recently, and he had already met Zhao Yan several times.
Zhao Yan didn't have anything unruly, but he was a little crooked when he laughed, and he always felt that he had some bad water in his stomach.
Song Tian survived a palace banquet with no interest, and was dragged to the palace by the queen to talk after the banquet.
"I look at it, and I still think Ma is good." The queen said a lot in front of her, but Song Tian didn't hear it clearly, only listened to the last sentence.
"Ma is the younger sister of Hubu Shangshu, and her background is also good." Although Song Tian responded, his expression was obviously absent-minded.
The queen threw a soft handkerchief over, and landed lightly on Song Tian's head, and said angrily: "But tired? The palace doesn't keep you, you go back and rest. ”
Song Tian smiled, grabbed the handkerchief and handed it to the servant, and said, "There are only a few candidates on the left and right, can you pick a flower?" Speaking of which, what kind of character is the sister-in-law in front of you? Can the husband and wife apply for the deed? Looking for a character that is almost inseparable from the cat and the tiger. ”
The queen really thought about it and said, "My sister-in-law is a good person, and it's also because she is too good-natured, but I can't think of anything else." ”
"Isn't it like a soft dough?" Song Tian was talking, and a servant came in and said that Zhao Yan was waiting outside, so Song Tian got up and said goodbye.
