Chapter 22: The Queen Has No Favor
Princess An He glanced at her daughter and snorted softly with a smile: "If you want to say that you know, it's not that you can't count." ”
"I saw it yesterday at the Yasukuni Mansion." Mama Liu took over the conversation and explained: "It was Liu Gongzi who saved Miss Li Shi. Originally, I only heard that Liu Gongzi and Xu Shizi were friends, but I didn't know that Liu Gongzi was actually a person close to His Royal Highness. When I reported to my mother just now, I didn't mention it specifically. It was the slave who was negligent. ”
Empress Dowager Chen suddenly looked at Liu Shuen with interest, "What?" Have you started to walk outside the palace now? Yesterday was I going to the Spring Banquet of the Yasukuni Mansion? Xu Yuezhong is a sensible and measured person, and he wants to be angry with you. ”
Liu Shuen smiled and didn't answer, but Empress Dowager Chen didn't care, turned her head to comfort Mama Liu and said, "I don't blame you." Not to mention outside, even here with me, if you don't happen to meet today, you will rarely see Shuen. Not to mention his heavy identity, those in and outside the palace know his roots, and one slap can be counted. ”
Nian Qian'an counted silently: It is enough for a slap in the face, if it is not for the poor arithmetic of Empress Dowager Chen, that means that even Xu Yuezhong, and even the emperor do not know that Liu Shuen is the secret guard of Chu Yanqing, the sixth prince?
She was secretly surprised, and Empress Dowager Chen sighed: "In my opinion, such an identity is difficult to be a grace." There is no parental love, and there is no family to borrow, so you can only rely on yourself to earn fame. He is capable, but this identity can't be brought to the surface, I look really distressed and regretful. ”
Liu Shuen smiled when she heard this, and said softly: "Niangniang is very loving." As the old saying goes, I love my current errands. Mother, don't be a pity. ”
Empress Dowager Chen turned to sigh and rejoice, just looking at the intimacy between the two of them is not like their ancestors and grandchildren, most of them have some other chances.
It is difficult to guarantee that it was not Empress Dowager Chen who promoted Liu Shuen to Chu Yanqing's side.
Princess An He thought in her heart, and when she heard the meaning of maintenance in Empress Dowager Chen's words, she said jokingly: "Grandmother loves Shuen so much, I can't help but take care of one or two more." Yesterday's events weren't much to worry about. I can't interfere in the affairs of the palace, if there is a need outside the palace, you can go to the princess's mansion to find me.
It's a pity that Shuen's identity can't be widely publicized. Otherwise, the Li family knew, and didn't say what Mrs. Li's reaction was, but only that Miss Li Shi, who was born as a concubine, would treat Shuen, a life-saving benefactor, and miss a good husband candidate, and second, she would regret it. ”
What about a mutilated face?
You can't be an official or a guard, but you can be a prince's secret guard.
The prince's secret guard is not a confidant, either pay attention to his background, or simply don't be born, and he is more assured to use it without worry.
Even if Liu Shuen has no family parents to rely on, what if he is not even a child of a poor family?
As long as you can follow the prince to do things well, the future will not be bad.
It is more than enough with Miss Li Shi.
The willows are dark, and the Li family still doesn't know.
Princess Ann and Princess gloating.
Nian Qian'an suddenly realized: no wonder Liu Shuen can enter and leave the palace, no wonder Liu Shuen knows the route in the palace well.
Empress Dowager Chen was satisfied with Princess Anhe's knowledge, and did not take her as a joke about the Li family as a pestle, so she kept Liu Shuen and said: "It's rare to see you once, why don't you stay for lunch?" ”
Liu Shuen got up and said: "Niangniang has a distinguished guest, so I won't talk about Niangniang's family fun." I still have errands on my body, so I'll take my leave. ”
Empress Dowager Chen didn't stay longer, and hurriedly ordered: "Wrap some fruits and pastries and go, and you can't miss the meal when you run errands." ”
Aunt Chen personally gave it away, Liu Shuen took the oil paper bag and thanked her, and took the opportunity to raise her eyebrows at Nian Qian'an.
Nian Qian'an pursed her lips and secretly laughed: God opened her eyes, and she actually got acquainted with a powerful foreign aid!
After finishing lunch in a very good mood, she heard Princess An and Princess Chen say, "I'll take An An to Kunning Palace." ”
Empress Dowager Chen has Aunt Chen to serve her lunch break, the concubines have long since ended, Wanshou Palace is quiet, and the road to Kunning Palace is also quiet.
Nian Qian'an looked at the Kunning Palace, which showed the identity of the queen, and had other thoughts in his heart.
Chu Yanqing, the sixth prince, is the queen's concubine and the only concubine in the palace.
Just looking at Empress Dowager Chen's attitude towards Liu Shuen, you can get a glimpse of how much Empress Dowager Chen loves Chu Yanqing.
Empress Dowager Chen is the original partner of the first emperor, she is orthodox and values orthodoxy the most, and she has always stood on the side of the queen and Chu Yanqing.
The emperor is also the crown prince who ascended the throne, but unlike the Empress Dowager Chen, he allowed rumors to spread in Beijing, saying that he didn't like the queen and Chu Yanqing, and gave the queen the power she deserved but did not give the queen the dignity she deserved.
has the right to have no favor, and the queen's concubine listens to the scenery, but in fact she is in an embarrassing situation.
I still remember the only time I visited the queen when I was five years old, the queen who was on the throne looked cold, and the palace concubines sat around her, but she stayed out of the matter like a bystander.
Nian Qian'an stepped into Kunning Palace with a complicated mood, only to bypass the main hall and turn into the back, and suddenly felt that the previous coldness was an illusion, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.
I saw that the flowers and trees in the apse were delicate, and the little palace maids were in groups of three or five, or picking flowers and cutting grass or chasing and frolicking, and the little eunuchs were talking about the news on the swings.
Princess Anhe was accustomed to it, and Aunt Zhou didn't scold even a half-sentence, smiled and waved away the palace people, raised her hand and asked: "Niangniang knows that the princess will enter the palace in the morning, and she will definitely stay in the Wanshou Palace, and she is waiting for you." ”
Nian Qian'an was already dumbfounded when he saw this, and at this moment, he couldn't help but half-open his mouth stupidly, and when he was sure that he was going to the queen's bedroom, he became more and more stunned.
Princess Anhe stood in line with Empress Dowager Chen, and it was understandable to support Kunning Palace.
It is the duty to call Chu Yanqing Xiaoliu, and it is the duty to come to the queen to say goodbye, but to be able to enter and leave the dormitory at will is really intimate.
There was no rumor outside.
Nian Qian'an's mind was slightly confused, and a lazy sweet and crisp female voice suddenly sounded in the dormitory, "Where is Anhe?" If she doesn't come again, I'm impatient to wait. The lunch break is the most nourishing and beautiful, but every time she enters the palace, it is like the chair in the Wanshou Palace is smeared, and moving a place is more rubbing than a thousand-year-old turtle, which will delay my lunch break. ”
Aunt Zhou hurriedly said loudly, and Princess An and Princess An entered shortly, and said: "I don't know who tosses himself all day long, and is to raise his face and seek longevity." It's you who want to be a thousand-year-old turtle, I'm not interested, and I don't have that ability. ”
Empress Zhou turned her head and rolled her beautiful eyes, "It can be seen that people can't stand it." I don't talk about you, I don't know when you'll show up. ”
Nian Qian'an listened to the two of them scolding each other, and then looked at Queen Zhou, who was as gorgeous as a girl, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
She was puzzled, Queen Zhou's eyes turned to her, and she said sarcastically, "The sixth girl is a rare guest." I've never only recognized Wanshou Palace, and I'm a little girl hiding in the cold palace here, why are you so obedient today, and you know that you came to say hello to your mother? ”
said and squeezed her eyes at Aunt Zhou, "Look at her well-behaved, doesn't she look like a little turtle with a thousand-year-old turtle's tail in her mouth?" ”
The corners of Nian Qian'an's mouth twitched, and he once again affirmed that the head of the original body was definitely kicked by a donkey, and he didn't unite with his mother, so why did he play disdain and alienation with the queen?
When I was a child, why was the original body so cute, why did it grow crooked?
Nian Qian settled down and felt sadistic, and sacrificed the original body of the coquettish saying: "I was ignorant before, and I will never be in the future." The little turtle is such an ugly thing, since the mother shouted, I can barely bear it. The old thing is written off, and the mother can't blame me anymore. ”
Princess An and Princess He glared at her daughter with hatred, sat down beside Queen Zhou by herself, and also returned a beautiful white eye, "What does a child know?" What are you talking about with An An, and it's worth settling old accounts in front of me? ”
"It's up to the owner to beat the dog. How could I really blame your precious daughter? Can't joke a word? Queen Zhou's face changed faster than turning a book, pulled Nian Qian'an to sit down, and said with a smile: "Look at An An'an's tender face, it's good to be young." Auntie quickly take out my new gadgets, the little turtle doesn't need it, Ann and the old turtle can use it. ”
Aunt Zhou, who couldn't stop laughing, was busy, and turned around and took out a bunch of bottles and cans.
Princess Ann and Princess looked through it and said, "I really should let outsiders see your sharp mouth." Who is a dog and who is a man? ”
Queen Zhou pursed her lips senselessly, resolutely refusing to admit that she was a dog, Nian Qian'an, who got the nickname of a little turtle for nothing, silently shrunk her neck.
Princess Anhe stretched her neck to look at the jar that Queen Zhou was holding in her hand, and raised her eyebrows: "A new thing from Naixiang Pavilion? His family's things have always been expensive, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not do his family's business. You're a dime and don't want to spend your own money, these ...... Are they all rewarded by the emperor? ”
Aunt Zhou glanced at Queen Zhou, whose face turned pale, and hurriedly answered: "The princess has a good eye." Isn't it the emperor's reward? Although there are all in the palace, the slaves and maids know best that these other places in Kunning Palace can't be compared, and they can't be compared, and they are really the only ones in the palace. It's just that those who are shallow can't see through it. ”
Princess Anhe understood, and said to Queen Zhou with a deep meaning: "Listen to Aunt Zhou's words, she understands better than you, the queen." The emperor is the Ninety-Five, only he snubs people, and no one else snubs him. Why are you screwing with the emperor? ”
"You don't help your relatives. is obviously a serious cousin, but he never refuses to make a mistake in the rules, only calling the emperor and not his cousin. Queen Zhou didn't answer, but looked at Princess An He strangely, "You are so knowledgeable, no wonder he is willing to make an exception to make you a princess, and is willing to spoil you and protect you."
I'm curious, with a jewel like you in front of him, why is he still so pampered? Outside the palace, there is a Wei Xiang, who goes in and out of the study as if he is visiting a vegetable garden, and he does not know how to restrain himself without a system. A Jiang Guifei in the palace will lift the Jiaofang Palace as the main palace, and she will not be ashamed. ”
Princess An He shook her head helplessly and shamelessly, "It's just some cats and dogs that amuse and relieve boredom, it's really embarrassing to compare with them." I know you don't care. It's these things, disgusted in the mouth, aren't you so happy that you can't put it down? ”
"Good things don't need to be used, that's called tyrannical things. It's not my money that is spent, and if you don't use it, you're a fool. Queen Zhou didn't think so, Hao didn't feel painful, and took out a big lump and wiped it on Princess Anhe's face, "The new balm from Nai Xiang Pavilion is said to be washed off every day for a quarter of an hour, so that the face is tender and white." ”
She and Ann got along with the princess like best friends, wiping each other's faces, Nian Qian'an held the jar and put her hands down, and her heart was already messy in the wind.
It is said that the queen has no favor, and she can't compare to Jiang Guifei when she is in the palace, although she lives in the middle palace, she is not as good as Jiang Guifei, who has the exclusive favor of the holy grace, has a virtuous reputation, even if she has a son in middle age, after accidentally having the only prince Chu Yanqing, the mother and son are still not the emperor's eyes.
He also said that Kunning Palace is not a cold palace but a cold palace, unless it is necessary, the emperor rarely sets foot in it, and the palace maids and eunuchs are also shameless.
But the queen is so free, and the palace people are so unrestrained.
A palace gate separates the inside and outside, as if they are two completely different worlds from the outside.
Listening to those hidden witty dialogues again, it doesn't look like the queen is not favored, but it seems that the queen is willing to be unfavored.
