Chapter 188: Mid-Autumn Festival (2)
Seeing that she was not dissatisfied, the emperor was the same as the previous gentleness, nodded, and was happy to give a little more face, "You are also very good, you are willing to teach them well, and it is my luck to be so harmonious in the harem." ”
Concubine He, just laughing, I don't know what to say, she was standing on the queen's side at the beginning, and at this time she was caught up and slipped to work under Concubine Ying, and she could only hold her tail, but Concubine Ke was different, she was sure that she would not be able to get along with Concubine Ying in the rest of her life, and she didn't like what she said.
"The concubine has a word, hold it in her heart and don't vomit unhappy, in fact, when the concubine takes care of the trivial affairs of the six palaces, she doesn't feel that she is the helper of the concubine, the concubine only thinks about managing the family for the emperor, the concubine Niangniang is not in the middle palace, and the concubine does not dare to claim to be the helper of the concubine Niangniang, otherwise others will listen to it, and it will be regarded as the concubine's arrogance."
Only when the master has a helper, her Ying Guifei is naturally the master of Changfu Palace, but she is not the master of the Sixth Palace, Concubine Ke is now taking care of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and she is also the master of the First Palace, if she recognizes Ying Guifei as the master, is there still respect and humility in this palace?
The words of whether a helper is a helper or not, still came out of Concubine Ying's own mouth, she is used to being clever and eloquent, and she was also blocked by Concubine Ke suddenly so suddenly that she didn't know what to say.
Concubine Qi gloated on the side, and was especially startled, "Ouch, it's true, the concubine is useless, and she never thought that she would one day be able to assist in the six palaces, but the concubine knew very well in her heart that the assistant six palaces were just for the emperor and queen to share their worries, not for the concubine." ”
Concubine Ying squeezed the hand of the teacup, her strength was so great that her knuckles were slightly white, and she couldn't complain about others for a momentary slip of the tongue, but she just looked at the harem, the concubines standing at her side were not high enough, and they couldn't compete with Concubine Qi, and she couldn't compete with Concubine Qi in front of many people, especially the emperor, and personally quarreled with people like Concubine Qi who were out of tune.
But...... When she thought of this, her heart was excited, and she realized that most of the concubines with high positions sealed by the emperor were standing on the queen's side, so even if she held great power for so many years, it was difficult to really seek the throne.
She never dared to underestimate the emperor's balancing technique, but it would take a long time before she could see the doorway inside.
She put down the teacup suddenly, got up and blessed the emperor, "It's the concubine who was happy for a while and said the wrong thing, in fact, the concubine and the concubine are just discussing things together, but the concubine is more experienced, sometimes she can say a sentence or two, and she made a mistake for a while, and asked the emperor to forgive her sins." ”
Her attitude is really good, and it's a big festival, how could the emperor really care, and only said: "Okay, how do the three of you take care of the six palaces, I know in my heart, originally, I also said before that Concubine He and Concubine Ke are taking care of it for you, could it be that I am also wrong?" Hurry up, the children are here, such a reunion day, it is lively and lively, don't admit your mistakes at every turn. ”
Concubine Ying got up according to her words, and the emperor looked at Concubine Qi again, "You too, Concubine Guifei has been busy for many years for the Sixth Palace, and if you say the wrong word, you will catch the noise, don't do this next time, you don't have to let the juniors see the jokes." ”
And the concubine, who had caused all this, stood there silently, and it was not until the emperor called her that she saluted again.
"You have always been cautious, and you respect Empress Cikang in your heart, I know that the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet is well organized, and when the time comes, the concubine, the concubine, and you, I will all be rewarded."
Concubine Ke smiled faintly, "The concubine thanks the emperor Longen." Then he returned to his place and said no more.
However, it is such a small thing that has already made people smell a hint in it.
If it was in the past, Ying Guifei was reprimanded by Concubine Qi, the emperor would inevitably reprimand Concubine Qi, although Concubine Qi would commit it again two days later, but the emperor's attitude has always been very clear, but today, from Concubine Ke to Concubine Qi, the two of them took turns to get along with Concubine Ying, and the emperor just appeased them all with "rain and dew".
The ministers are naturally happy to see this, after all, they are not only favored, but they can prosper their heirs, but they are put in the second prince and the fourth prince, and they can't help but be a little indignant.
Wei Changyuan was not in Beijing for a while, and he could only learn about some things in the palace from the letters from home, but he was afraid that the letters would be intercepted on the way, so he specially instructed Xiao Huayin not to write important things, for various reasons, so that he didn't have time to figure out how his mother got to this point step by step.
He and Wei Changze sat close to each other, and at this time he lowered his voice and asked: "What's the matter, my father treats my mother and concubine, but it's not as good as before, you have been in Beijing, that is, by your mother's side, haven't you helped anything?" ”
Wei Changze was very unhappy when he saw that he lifted his brother's shelf as soon as he came up, "Second brother is questioning me?" Let me ask the concubine in the palace, I am outside the palace, how can I help? Besides, is there a son in the world who cares about the trivial affairs of Lao Tzu's back house? ”
Wei Changyuan never expected that not long after the brothers met, they inexplicably wanted to cause a quarrel, and only then said, "What kind of attitude do you have." The mother concubine only has our two sons, and when I leave her, you will naturally protect her, can I ask you nothing? ”
"Yes, of course." There was a sneer on the corner of Wei Changze's mouth, looking at the direction of Changjue and Lan Yi, "In the end, it's not that Prince Gong's Mansion has dragged down the concubine, if the couple doesn't exist, Changfu Palace will naturally return to its former glory." If the second brother has the ability, don't come at me, it's best to go directly to them. ”
"Then don't come at me if you're filled with righteous indignation!"
Wei Changze said: "Second brother also knows how painful it is to be said like this, right?" Of course I don't go to you, I just want them to pay the price of provoking the mother concubine and the palace of King Yu. ”
Wei Changyuan frowned, "Recently, the seventh brother has been very close to you, he is gloomy, and he may bite you back, don't be instigated by him, just want to calculate something." ”
The Seventh Prince Wei Changheng was originally a person next to Wei Changze, and for a while Wei Changze recommended him to Wei Changyuan, giving him a lot of attention, but with Wei Changyuan's departure from Beijing, the Seventh Prince had no one to take care of, and in the end he returned to Wei Changze's side.
In the past, Wei Changyuan also felt that Wei Changheng was a good military advisor, but now that he has seen more and more, he feels that he is such a depressed person at such a young age, don't interact too much, otherwise he will stab someone in the back one day, and he doesn't know.
What he reminded Wei Changze was all from the bottom of his heart, and Wei Changze didn't like to listen to it, but asked him: "Why did the second brother obey the words of the seventh brother before, and after going out like this, he said bad things about the seventh brother in my ear like those women?" If the second brother is really capable, why didn't he coax his father to change his mind and not let you go out of Beijing? Now that the mother concubine has an accident, I think of a way to solve the person who is-for-tat with the mother concubine, but the second brother still wants to say that mine is not, the love between the brothers is really incomprehensible. ”
Wei Changyuan was excited, he was angry, he really didn't want to say a word to this fourth brother at this time, it just so happened that the emperor asked him to talk about the customs and customs of the south in front of everyone, so he dusted off his clothes and stood up, talking eloquently, not caring about Wei Changze.
His language was simple and fluent, and in just a few words, he outlined the beautiful mountains and rivers and the stretching rice fields in the south, and the emperor listened to it very pleasantly, and even said that this trip was not in vain.
Wei Changyuan said: "It's just that the water in the south, looking at it, is mild, in the summer, two or three rainstorms in a row, it will become very terrifying, Erchen was standing by the river embankment, looking at the rolling turbid waves, I was a little panicked, the quiet river suddenly changed its character, the sky was surging, and it rose a few feet high, as if it could submerge the sky......"
Concubine Ying was nervous, and couldn't help but interject: "So terrifying? In such a situation, you must stay away. ”
Wei Changyuan said: "Erchen is on patrol on behalf of his father, and he carries the glory of the Son of Heaven, how can he hide away?" What's more, if you don't come to the scene, how do you know how and how much the river embankment will be reinforced? ”
The emperor stroked his palm and smiled, "Okay, good, this is my good son, governing the world, it is not a leopard in the tube, you must do it yourself, see the whole picture, in order to make the best decision." This one, Chang Yuan has learned. ”
Wei Changyuan was modest and respectful, "Compared with my father, my son's son is still far behind, but my father and emperor teach you well, so my son knows what he wants to do." ”
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and asked him to continue, and Wei Changyuan began to talk about the riverbank, about the pearl-like lakes in the south, about the fishermen rowing in small boats on the lakes, and about how they often suddenly sang a fresh and pleasant tune.
In this way, you can talk endlessly, a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, at this moment, is already more like a dust-washing banquet organized for Wei Changyuan, Ying Guifei is worried, but has gradually been filled with pride, seeing the son of Qi Yu Xuanang standing there telling the story of the world, she seems to see endless hope.
When it came to the dishes in the south, he said that in the restaurants over there, there are mostly light dishes, but there are also some places where salt is good, and the taste is not quite the same as in Beijing. ”
Wei Changyuan didn't expect him to suddenly show favor, for fear of some traps, so he thought about it before saying: "The third emperor brother will have the opportunity to go out for a walk in the future. ”
Chang Jue hurriedly stood up and arched his hand, "Yes, what the second emperor brother said is true, it's just that I don't know something, and I ask the second emperor brother to solve my doubts, if it's an errand and wants to walk around at will, will there be officials who will call and hug you?" ”
Wei Changyuan felt a slight "chuckle" in his heart, feeling that the other party was about to make trouble, but he could only go down and say: "Naturally, they don't dare to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Family, how can they be a little lazy?" ”
