Chapter 512: Greeting the Queen Mother (1)
"Pa Yun, you elm head has finally been thoughtful to please Sister Ning." Shangguan Yunxin followed and instructed the little maid beside him, "In addition to the plum blossom cake, put a few more pieces of lychee good Langjun and lotus root seed sugar cake for Su Xin." In addition, put another copy of the food for Su Xin, let Sister Ning bring it to Miss Five, and add an extra portion of Eight Treasure Sweet Cheese to Miss Five. β
"Princess, don't make fun of the slaves." Pa Yun touched the back of her head and smiled, "The slave maid has obtained the medicinal food prepared by the second lady herself, so she naturally has to think more about the second miss." β
"Pa Yun, you are really a rare solid eye in this world." Shangguan Yunxin angrily and funny knocked on Pa Yun's head.
Shoukang Palace in Ziyun City.
"Queen Mother, the second lady entered the palace early in the morning, and now she is busy making breakfast in the Ninth Princess's Moon Chasing Xuan." Aunt Feng followed the Mingbao golden hairpin, which had already inserted a phoenix wings into the queen mother's bun, and said, "Speaking of which, the second lady really has a heart, but she entered the palace an hour ahead of schedule so that the queen mother could enjoy medicinal food and pastries." β
"Except for the second young lady, who else has entered the palace today?"
"Today, Prince Heng and Prince Yu have also entered the palace." Aunt Feng replied, "Prince Yu specially entered the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, Xu came early to go to the Ninth Princess's Chasing Moon Xuan, His Royal Highness Prince Heng should have entered the Imperial Concubine's Changchun Palace at this moment." β
"I heard that the imperial concubine's body is not very good?" The Empress Dowager looked at her wrinkled cheeks in the bronze mirror and said, "How many years have passed, the mourning family is already old, and the face is full of wrinkles, and the imperial concubine seems to be more charming, why did she suddenly get sick?" Has the imperial doctor seen it? β
"The imperial concubine is just a cold." Aunt Feng followed up and took care of the hair bun for the Queen Mother, "I want to come to His Royal Highness Prince Heng to enter the palace to visit the imperial concubine, I'm afraid it will be more effective than any panacea." β
The Queen Mother also followed Aunt Feng's words and said: "Although Qing'er's child is a little colder, he has always been filial to his mother. The Queen Mother paused and said: "Presumably, Han'er will accompany Xin Yatou and the second girl to come over for a while, send someone to Changchun Palace to spread the word, and let Qing'er also come over to talk to the mourning family, and the mourning family has not seen Qing'er for a long time." β
"The slave knows that the Queen Mother likes to be lively the most, and now it is rare that the two princes and the second lady are here, and it is just time to announce that they are together to accompany the Queen Mother." Aunt Feng has been serving by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, and she is the person who knows the Queen Mother's temperament best, so she asked, "Queen Mother, do you want to reward the prince and the ninth princess with those good things at the bottom of the box?" β
"It's still you, an old thing, who knows the thoughts of the mourning family." The Empress Dowager looked at Aunt Feng beside her with a smile as she spoke, "The mourning family is all half-cut into the ground, and there are no things outside the body, so it is better to reward those children for fun." The queen mother then instructed Aunt Feng and said: "The second girl is very suitable for the eyes of the mourning family, and I also picked some good ones among the mourning family and rewarded the second girl." β
"If the slave knows, she won't have a share of the second lady." Aunt Feng followed the Empress Dowager and said, "Even if the slave forgets the second lady's share, the ninth princess will help the second lady ask the queen mother for it." β
"Xin'er really has a relationship with those two girls." The Queen Mother was supported by Aunt Feng and walked towards the door, and the rising sun behind her happened to be so dangling that people couldn't see the expression on the Queen Mother's face, and only heard the Queen Mother say kindly as usual, "The second girl is smart and likable, Xin'er is naturally happy to be with her." β
"The Queen Mother is right, although the Ninth Princess also has many brothers and sisters, there are not many princesses and princes of the same age as the Ninth Princess." Aunt Feng took the Queen Mother's words and said, "In the past, the only one who could play with the Ninth Princess was His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. β
"Listening to you talk about Ming'er, it seems that he hasn't entered the palace for a while." The Empress Dowager remembered Shangguan Fengming, and then asked, "Does Ming'er live in Han'er's mansion or in the palace on the outskirts of Beijing now?" β
"I heard that Fu Meiren is sick, and the Seventh Prince went back to the palace to accompany Fu Meiren, so I didn't enter the palace from time to time to ask the Queen Mother for peace."
"Fu Meiren is sick, but has the imperial doctor been sent to take a look?" The Empress Dowager then instructed Aunt Feng and said, "Fu Meiren also gave birth to an heir for the emperor in the end, and she is also meritorious to Yu Sheji." Watch carefully, but don't let some people get the wrong idea. β
"The queen mother can rest assured, the slave maid has been sending people to stare at the palace on the outskirts of Beijing." Aunt Feng followed and said, "Maybe this year's winter is colder than usual, and Fu Meiren gave birth to the Seventh Prince back then, and she also fell ill in her life, which caused the old illness due to the cold winter." β
"The Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the Ninth Princess, and the second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion are already waiting in the outer hall." The sound of pine needles came through the curtain.
"The Queen Mother, the princess and the princess and the second lady have arrived." Aunt Feng then opened the door curtain and said, "Queen Mother, you have been talking about wanting to see the Ninth Princess, and the slave maid will help the Queen Mother out." β
"You old thing is even more anxious to see the granddaughter of the mourning family than the mourning family." Although the Queen Mother was blaming Aunt Feng, she was not ambiguous at all when she followed Aunt Feng out.
Shangguan Yunxin took advantage of the situation to support the Queen Mother and asked, "What did the Imperial Grandmother and Aunt Feng say so happily, Xin'er also wants to hear it." β
"You girl, now I hear from the corner of the wall that the mourning family is coming to the palace." The Empress Dowager took Shangguan Yunxin's hand and let her sit on the pestle beside her.
"The imperial grandmother is eccentric." Shangguan Yunxin held the arm of the Queen Mother and said coquettishly, "Brother Yue and Second Miss both heard the words and jokes of the imperial grandmother and Aunt Feng, but the imperial grandmother only blamed Xin'er for listening to the corner alone. β
The Queen Mother was disgusted with Shangguan Yunxin on the surface, but when she saw Shangguan Yunxin's eyes, she was full of kindness: "You all see, Xin'er, this girl is becoming more and more coquettish, and the mourning family is just joking, but she pulled out the eccentricity of the mourning family." β
"Han'er thinks it's really no wonder that the ninth sister loves to be coquettish to the imperial grandmother." Shangguan Hanyue opened her robe and sat down under the Queen Mother, "It's just that the most favored by the imperial grandmother is the ninth sister, and this is used to the ninth sister's coquettish and stupid nature." β
Ning Zhiyun followed up and took over Shangguan Hanyue's words and said: "Seeing the appearance of the ninth princess made the courtiers think of the word "cute", the praise of the princess in all dynasties is just a clichΓ© of noble and dignified or manners, but the courtiers selfishly think that the princess who attaches equal importance to beauty and bearing, even if it can be immortal, but it is not as precious as the simple and cute, and I think that what the queen mother gave to the ninth princess is the most precious calf licking in the world, which will get used to the coquettish and foolish temperament of the ninth princess. β
