Chapter 203: Queen Yinghuan (II)
Ying Huan lost her temper like this, and the five ladies below hurriedly got up from their seats, and hurriedly admitted their mistakes and said, "Niangniang forgives her sins." ”
Tang Changzai was a high-ranking person who dared to speak, so he said with a smile to Ying Huan: "Queen Mother, the concubines know that they are wrong. It's just to show respect for the mother, after all, the etiquette can't be abolished. The concubines naturally knew that the Emperor Taishang was still suffering in Baibu, and they didn't dare anymore. ”
Ying Huan looked at the next few ladies coldly, her eyes were unconsciously much sharper, but thinking about what Tang Chang was saying, it could be regarded as easing the temperament in her heart, so she also went down the steps, "Okay, but you have to pay attention in the future." Now it's a national disaster, we still have to enter the palace, and the eyes of the world are looking at us! Your words and deeds are all examples of women in the world, don't go the wrong way, otherwise you will become Your Majesty's wife, and I am afraid that you will not be comfortable. ”
Ying Huan gave such a solemn request, and Ying Huan sent a fire, and several people naturally responded extremely respectfully. Ying Huan waved her hand and said, "Come on, you all pick up your own clothes, and you will enter the palace in three days." What to bring and what to keep, I have thought it through, don't enter the palace and think that I have nothing to do with it and come to the palace to get it, but it can't be done. ”
"Yes."
After the ladies left, Ying Shu relaxed a little, but she looked at Ying Huan, but suddenly felt that Ying Huan was probably a different person......
"No wonder my sister called me to the palace to help you pack your luggage. It's a good calculation. ”
Ying Huan glanced at Ying Shu, but she was still as familiar with the appearance of her big sister as always, "You girl, you will arrange your sister and me." ”
After that, Ying Huan said: "I'm thinking of teaching you to help me watch the child for a few days." In the past few days, because of the fact that I want to enter the palace, the house must be busy, and I am afraid that there will be no one to take care of the children. You are out of confinement, I should have taught you to rest for a few days, but it is inevitable that it will work hard for you. ”
Ying Shu hurriedly patted her chest and promised: "Big sister, don't worry, I will definitely be able to take care of Gu'an." Don't you feel at ease when I do things? If you hadn't taught me to come out, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law and Shen Bin wouldn't have allowed me to come out! It's really going to suffocate people. ”
"I know you." Ying Huan smiled.
In fact, it is hard to watch the child, but in fact, Yingshu still feels that she has nothing to work hard. After all, there are special people in charge of taking care of the children in the palace, and they don't have to do it at all, but they have to be more cautious and look at these people, which is still a piece of cake for themselves. After all, I was also cautious in the first few days when I gave birth to a child, and I was very concerned about my child.
And Ying Huan is almost busy at the rate of a spinning top that is visible to the naked eye.
Counting the treasury of the palace, counting the subordinates who served, preparing the carriages and horses, etc., looked like an extremely complicated job.
For example, this inventory of subordinates is a huge project. Ying Huan has to count the manpower of various departments in various places, and then check them one by one against the roster, and then reformulate the list of those who follow them into the palace and continue to stay in the hidden mansion.
After all, the rules in the palace are that there can be no foreign men. And many of these family members have been close to the king of Cheng, naturally it is not as simple as bringing it to the palace with a wave of a knife, but according to the rank and status of each person, and then ask these people about their respective wishes, or stay in the hidden mansion, or settle in the capital, or seek a petty official and many other options, if it is to settle or return to the hometown, then give some silver. But if she is seeking a petty official, Ying Huan has to write down her name again, waiting for King Cheng, who has already become the emperor, to arrange it personally.
Looking at Ying Huan's busy figure, Ying Shu sighed, not everyone can enjoy happiness, the higher the position, the more difficult life is.
In comparison, his salted fish is already good.
Three days later, the palace sent people early in the morning to welcome the queen Yinghuan into the palace, in order to show the concern for the emperor, the queen's guard of honor is naturally not easy to use, but if only ordinary guard of honor is used, but it will not conform to the identity of the queen and the etiquette of the country, so the compromise method is to use half of the queen's guard of honor. The rest of the ladies, because they were not canonized, could only travel according to the previous rules.
Ying Shu saw Ying Huan get on the queen's sedan chair and went home, but Ying Huan and her party went all the way to the palace steadily.
Although I set foot in a place that was once very familiar, my state of mind is indeed completely different.
In the past, she was a princess, and although she met her palace maid and inner eunuch on the road, she would salute, but it would not be a big gift. But now that she has become a queen, all the characters on the long street kneel on the ground when they see that they are all bowing, respectfully waiting for them to pass by, which is very noble and breezy.
Ying Huan felt that she enjoyed this feeling very much, but she felt that this feeling was very unsteady.
After all, it's not the place to sit, and if you just sit on it, you don't get used to it.
When she arrived in the palace, Ying Huan was supposed to go to see Emperor Li Ming, but her husband was busy with state affairs recently and had no time to separate, so she had to go to Wanshou Palace to meet the Queen Mother Jin and the two concubines.
She saluted respectfully, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Ying Huan's dress today. I saw Ying Huan wearing a purple cloud brocade woven gold makeup fairy blessing round-necked robe today, a moon-white woven gold double-breasted one-year pleated horse face under her body, wearing a mustache, a complete set of gold inlaid jade head, only light makeup on her face, simple and simple in solemn and luxurious, neither losing her noble identity nor worrying about state affairs. Teach people to feel comfortable when they see it.
The Queen Mother Jin naturally nodded at Ying Huan with great satisfaction, and said busily: "Good boy, hurry up." I've worked hard for you these days. ”
Ying Huan stepped forward to serve the queen mother at the will, and only said: "The queen mother is serious, where is the hard work of the concubines, and the concubines are naturally not as good as the adults of the previous dynasty." ”
The Queen Mother was even more satisfied, and pulled Ying Huan to say a lot, and finally instructed: "Go, Kunming Palace is ready for you, if there is anything wrong, you can come to the mourning family." In the future, the affairs of this harem will be handed over to you. ”
Ying Huan was stunned: "Kunming Palace? Queen Mother, isn't the imperial sister-in-law living in Kunming Palace? Where are the concubines worthy? ”
The Queen Mother sighed for a long time, "It's the Empress Taishang herself, she wants to move out by herself." She said that Kunming Palace has always been for today's middle palace to live in. She is too much of a queen, so she doesn't live in the queen's place. ”
"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? His Majesty also said, but it is a temporary state policy, and in the future, the emperor will return to the dynasty, and the throne will still be the emperor's brother. Wherever the concubines live, it's the same, how can you wronged the imperial sister-in-law? ”
……
Ying Huan sat on her shoulders and was carried by everyone in the direction of Kunming Palace, but she herself felt uneasy, and she did not enjoy the joy of being a queen at all. After thinking about it, she stopped the person carrying the sedan chair, "Go to Chang'an Palace first." ”
Chang'an Palace is now the residence of Queen Taishang Qian, Ying Huan thought about it or came to Chang'an Palace, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Queen Taishang crying, Ying Huan was anxious to salute, but was stopped by Queen Taishang, only to hear Queen Taishang say: "It's all a family, what are you polite." ”
Ying Huan saw that there were still tears on Empress Taishang's face, and her heart was a little softer, and she was very sympathetic, "Niangniang, don't be sad." ”
Empress Taishang's former calmness is now long gone, and only the dignified gentleness that she tried her best to maintain is left, but this dignified has also been blown away a lot because of her worries and sadness.
"You're here." Empress Taishang held back a smile, although she had long been heartbroken, and her strength was not enough.
Ying Huan could see the tired look on Queen Taishang's face, and she was even more worried: "Niangniang has to take care of her body!" You're not good. ”
"What's so bad about it?" Empress Taishang smiled sadly: "Now that the emperor is still suffering in Baibu, how can I feel good in my heart?" ”
Empress Taishang nervously grabbed Ying Huan's hand: "Brother and sister, I beg you, please you and Your Majesty, you must save the emperor and come back." Even if it is not a wise move for the emperor to drive the expedition in person, he is also our majesty! But don't teach him to suffer these things in the white department! ”
Queen Taishang said sincerely, and the tears flowed uncontrollably, and she cried a little more on her makeup.
Ying Huan was even more worried when she saw it: "Sister-in-law, don't do this." Your body matters! You can rest assured, Your Majesty and I will definitely bring the imperial brother back safely. ”
Empress Taishang seemed to be even more excited, she trembled and pulled out the distracted cards from her bun and handed them to Ying Huan: "If you need money to redeem the emperor, I can take all the silver coins and jewelry here." Even if I empty my place, it's okay, I just ask the emperor to come back, I only ask the emperor to come back! ”
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, the emperor will definitely come back." Ying Huan tried her best to persuade Queen Taishang, and persuaded a lot to teach Queen Taishang to restrain her fear and calm Queen Taishang's mood.
Only then did Ying Huan dare to explain her intentions, expressing her intention that she did not dare to live in the Kunming Middle Palace.
"The imperial brother will return to the court in a few days, and Your Majesty and I are just temporary positions. This Qianyuan Palace lives in order to facilitate the handling of political affairs, but this Kunming Palace, I think it is better to live in the imperial sister-in-law. You are the true master of the Middle Palace. ”
Empress Taishang shook her head and resolutely refused: "Since you are the queen, you must have the dignity of being the queen." I am now the queen, and I don't dare to stand in the seat of the middle palace. Now that the emperor is in the White Department, I feel really uncomfortable, and I can't take care of the affairs of the harem, living in this Kunming Palace, but I am tired. Since you are here, brother and sister, you can live in peace for me. I live in this Chang'an Palace very well, and it is quiet, and I just prayed for the emperor. ”
Ying Huan looked at Queen Taishang, and felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart.
"Besides, looking at the Emperor Taishang, it won't be able to come back in a while."
