Chapter 583: The Thoughts of the People (I)
"Xi'er thanked the Queen Mother for her grace." After listening to Aunt Feng's words, Lord Jinyun sat down beside the Queen Mother with a red face and shyness.
"Do you have any resentment that the mourning family has connected you to the imperial capital?" The queen mother still spoke softly and gently one moment ago, but her face turned cold the next moment, "The mourning family is unwilling to force you, and the twisted melon is not sweet, if you don't want to marry into Prince Yu's mansion as a side concubine, the mourning family can send you back to Yucheng now." ”
"Xi'er is willing to marry into Prince Yu's mansion as a side concubine." Although Lord Jinyun Weng is shy and well-behaved, he is assertive inside, "Xi'er is a girl from the Rong family, and the Queen Mother is willing to make decisions for Xi'er, and Xi'er is willing to enter Prince Yu's mansion as a side concubine." ”
"Good boy." The Empress Dowager regained her pleasant face, caressed the sideburns of Lord Jinyun and said, "Although the side concubine has wronged you a little in terms of status, the mourning family will never let your dowry be inferior to that of the eldest lady of the Zuo Xiangfu, and will definitely let you marry into the palace of Prince Yu." ”
"There is a queen mother who feels sorry for Xi'er, and Xi'er will not worry too much about the details of the branches and leaves." Although the apricot eyes of Lord Jinyun Weng were full of innocence, the words he said were forbearance with foresight, "Father once asked Xi'er if he likes sweet first and then bitter, or bitter first and then sweet?" ”
The Queen Mother actually had the answer in her heart, but she still asked: "What did Xi'er choose?" ”
The innocence in the eyes of Lord Jinyun Weng is even worse: "Xi'er chooses bitter first and then sweet." ”
"Your father really raised a good daughter." The Empress Dowager held the hand of Lord Jinyun Weng with one hand, and patted her hand with the other hand and said, "Good boy, since you are calm, you will definitely be blessed in the future." ”
The queen mother took the hand of the lord of Jinyun Weng and chatted for a while, and then looked at the sky outside for nearly five watches, and then sent pine needles to send the lord of Jinyun Weng back to the room.
"Lord Weng, you are the emperor's own lord." After the cuiliu beside the lord of Jinyun Weng closed the door, he began to say unfairly for the lord of Jinyun, "At first, the queen mother obviously wanted you to marry into the palace of Prince Yu as a concubine, and I knew that I was just a side concubine, so it was better not to come to this imperial capital." ”
"The Queen Mother naturally wishes that I could marry into Prince Yu's Mansion as a side concubine." Lord Jinyun Weng compared the impatient Cuiliu beside him, and his tone was indifferent as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "The Queen Mother has done her best, and you have also heard the conversation between Prince Fang Caiyu and the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother was probably afraid that I would misunderstand her old man's thoughts, so she specially arranged for me to hear that conversation with my own ears. ”
"The second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is just a prime minister's daughter, you are the emperor's own lord, in terms of appearance and family background, the lord is higher than the second lady." Cuiliu muttered unconvinced.
"In terms of appearance, the eldest lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is the real color of the city. On the family background, the second lady is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the sister is now married into the Prince Heng Mansion as a concubine, and the younger sister is either married into the Anguo Mansion as a concubine, or the emperor personally gave the marriage to Prince Yu as a concubine. ”
"Lord Weng, you are the daughter of the Rong clan." Cuiliu hurriedly comforted Lord Jinyun Weng and said, "The Rong family is the mother of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will naturally do her best to support you." ”
"Now the entire Rong family is stained with the glory of the Queen Mother, so that they can stand among the nobles." Lord Jinyun Weng sighed lightly and said, "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's willingness to take care of the Rong family, how could my father worship the Taishou, and the title of my Lord Weng was also given by the Queen Mother." ”
"You have been wronged, for the glory of the family, I have to respond to the arrangement of the Queen Mother."
"My father gave birth to me and raised me, and he loved me very much, and it is my duty as a daughter to maintain the glory of the family." Lord Jinyun reminded Cuiliu Dao beside him, "Don't say anything about Fang Cai's complaint in the future, now that you are in the palace, the situation will only be more difficult when you enter the palace in the future, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds." ”
"The slave knows." Cuiliu chick nodded like a peck of rice.
"Queen Mother, it's almost five watches now, the Queen Mother has been tossing all night, and the slaves and maids are waiting for the Queen Mother to sleep." Aunt Feng wanted to dress the Queen Mother, but she was stopped and said, "People are old, and they can't sleep after tossing all night." The Empress Dowager motioned for Aunt Feng to sit down next to her: "Let's talk to the mourning family for a while." ”
Aunt Feng sat on the pedal, beat her legs for the queen mother and said: "The queen mother should still want to open more, the slave maid sees that the master of Jinyun Weng is a smart and clever person, and she will definitely be able to sit firmly in the back position in the future." ”
"You old thing is about to become a roundworm in the stomach of the mourners." The Empress Dowager pressed Aunt Feng's hand and said, "You've been tossing all night, you should sit and rest well." ”
"Yes." Aunt Feng nodded respectfully.
"Eleven, the mourning family is the same as you see, that child is a person who knows how to advance and retreat." The Empress Dowager showed a long-lost smile because of the sensibility of Lord Jinyun and said, "Know how to forbear, know how to advance and retreat, be innocent, smart and smart." Only such a person can respect Xiao Er as a guest, and only then can he sit firmly in the position of the queen. ”
"The slave maid is also happy for the Queen Mother, you were worried at first that the Lord of Jinyun Weng would be unable to hold his breath because of his youth, and he was unwilling to enter the palace as a side concubine, but now the Lord Weng not only agreed, but also understood the Queen Mother's hard work, and the heart that the Queen Mother has been hanging on can finally land."
"Where can I put down the heart of the mourning family, but I don't need to hang my heart for the time being." The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not too early, let's help the mourning family change their clothes and make up." ”
Left Prime Minister's Mansion Yunxi Pavilion.
Ning Zhixuan kept her eyes open until the hour, and then she dared to get up from the couch lightly, and tiptoed to the front of the makeup.
Su Xin originally wanted to stay up with Ning Zhixuan until dawn, but because of the errand of the imperial hospital, she lost most of her energy, and when she was halfway through, she couldn't hold it and fell asleep in a daze.
"Miss, are you up?" Su Xin suddenly woke up, rubbed her eyes sleepily and said, "What time is it?" ”
"It's only three quarters, it's still early." Ning Zhixuan reminded Su Xindao, "You will sleep more, and I will call you again at the turn of morning." ”
"Today is the birthday of the eldest princess, so you have to get up early." Although Su Xin said that she would get up earlier, in action, she fell asleep again after saying this.
Ning Zhixuan knew that Su Xin was tired from working as an errand in the imperial hospital, so she would not be able to follow her to get up early and be greedy for darkness as before.
"Miss...... Miss ......"
Ning Zhixuan lightly covered the brocade quilt for Su Xin, and Wei Qi asked cautiously outside the door: "Small."
Is my sister up? ”
Ning Zhixuan quickly walked to the door, opened the door and said, "Be quiet, Su Xin is still asleep." But what happened in the palace? ”
Wei Qi knew that Ning Zhiwen was concerned about Shangguan Hanyue, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not the palace, it's the fifth lady who is here, and I'm afraid that Miss Wu will make a noise, so I haven't let Wei Qi come to report, it's Wei Qi who has seen that the time has come, and thinks that Miss is probably up." ”
Ning Wanran originally accompanied Ning Xinyu to live in the Ninth Princess's Chasing Moon Xuan, until Su Xin healed Ning Xinyu's eyes a few days ago, and Ning Wanran accompanied Ning Xinyu to move back to Zuo Xiangfu.
"Bring someone over." Ning Zhixuan followed closely and commanded the seven paths.
After a while, he took Ning Wanran into Ning Zhiyun's room, followed him out, and closed the door.
"Why did you come so early?" Ning Zhixuan looked at Su Xin, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, as she spoke.
Ning Wanran instantly comprehended Ning Zhiyun's meaning, and then whispered in Ning Zhiyun's ear: "Second sister, I'...... I think...... Think...... Good ......"
Ning Wanran has always been shy and shy, and now even if he is determined to accept Yuan Qingxuan, he still doesn't have the courage to say it.
"I see." Ning Zhiyun had always understood Ning Wanran's temperament, and then she had already held her hand and said, "I will arrange it for you." ”
Ning Wanran's cheeks were as red as clouds in the sky because of the shyness in his heart, but he still nodded very firmly in response to Ning Zhiyun's words.
"Today is the eldest princess's birthday, I'm afraid that the whole house will get up early, so you should go back to your Cuiwei Pavilion quickly."
"It seems that Miss Fifth has really made up her mind this time." Su Xin looked at Ning Wanran's departing back and said, "Yuan Gongzi has finally been able to keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”
"Why did you wake up?" Ning Zhiyun looked at Su Xindao, who was now fully awake, "But the sound of our speech is noisy to you?" ”
"It's not the sound of talking, it's the sound of Miss Fifth pushing the door in that woke me up." Su Xin was still a little confused now, but he actually said the truth in one go.
"It's hard for you, you have to be worried every day." Ning Zhixuan walked to Su Xin's side and gathered the clothes on her body and said, "Since you're awake, then I'll call Weiqi in." ”
Soon Wei Qi brought a group of maids into the house, and the red lacquer trays held by the little maids were respectively Ning Zhixuan and Su Xin's clothes.
The clothes were chosen by Ning Zhiwen a few days ago, Ning Zhiwen was wearing a maple leaf red floor-length dress, and Su Xin was wearing a willow leaf skirt embellished with plum blossoms.
"Today is the eldest princess's birthday, Miss should dress more festively, why don't you wear that crimson floor-length dress?" Wei Qi reminded Ning Zhiyun.
"If I wear a festive crimson, I'm afraid it will hinder some people's eyes again." Ning Zhiyun's lips pulled up a sneer and said, "Ning Banghua wants to dominate Qunfang today, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint her again, but she seems to have grown a little recently, and she won't make trouble on the spot." ”
