Chapter 665: Envy
The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was peaceful, and Feng Yunzheng, who was his uncle, carefully asked how the eldest princess of Chun'an was doing, asked Bai Guzhi about their days in the Western Regions, and understood the customs and customs of the Western Regions.
Bai Guzhi talked eloquently, and Feng Yunmo and the others listened carefully, after all, it was a different place from the Great Feng Dynasty, and people were always curious and puzzled about unknown places.
"I don't drink much tea in the Western Regions, tea is a rare material, and every family there loves to drink milk, cow's milk, goat's milk, and camel's milk, and milk is used to make all kinds of desserts." Bai Guzhi said, "But my favorite is meat, eat meat in a big gulp, and the taste of roasted whole sheep is good." β
"The roasted whole sheep with special spices does not have a sandalwood smell, the meat is tender, very delicious, and the dishes made of practical mutton are very delicious."
Feng Yunmo and Shi Xiaolian made it clear that inviting them to eat meat seemed to be a way for him to express his gratitude, and it was polite to invite others to eat their favorite food.
"Therefore, go to Renshou Palace with me and meet your grandmother, she misses you very much, Mo'er, you will go with you." Feng Yunzheng understood a little, so he smiled and led the group to Renshou Palace.
After listening to the advice of the palace people in the Qianqing Palace, the smile on Empress Dowager Shi's face never went down.
"Rujin, Chun'an's child doesn't know what's going on, every time I've seen it for more than ten years, I didn't expect to see it in the lifetime of the mourning family." Empress Dowager Shi felt it and thought about it.
"By the way, let the imperial dining room prepare lunch well, Chun'an's youngest son, it's called the old one, when he was born, Chun'an wrote a letter to report the good news, saying that it was a white and pure, and Chun'an was printed out of a mold, and I don't know if it's true?"
"Niangniang, the emperor will bring someone over later, and Niangniang will be able to see you soon." Rujin replied with a smile.
"By the way, the queen, you have to invite the queen too, she is the aunt of the deceased." Empress Dowager Shi thought of Empress Zhou, so she asked Rujin to invite her in person.
"Maybe the emperor has already ......"
"The emperor must not have thought that the child would always owe a lot to the queen." Empress Dowager Shi sighed.
"The slave and maid will go and ask for it immediately." Rujin walked out of Renshou Palace and walked towards Yanxi Palace.
"Niangniang, Aunt Rujin beside the Queen Mother is here." Xinping said to Queen Zhou, who was standing behind the desk and splashing ink.
"Come in, please." Queen Zhou didn't raise her head, and continued the movements in her hands.
After Rujin entered the palace, he was not surprised by Queen Zhou's actions at all, and waited patiently on the side.
After a few more strokes, Queen Zhou put down the pen with satisfaction and looked up with a smile, "This is also the hobby of this palace, so Aunt Rujin has been waiting for a long time." β
"The queen has tormented the slave." Rujin saluted respectfully, "The Queen Mother asked the Queen Mother to move to Renshou Palace and meet the young son of the eldest princess Chun'an." β
Queen Zhou was a little surprised, although she was not wearing a formal queen's palace dress, she was gorgeous enough, and she didn't change her clothes, so she cleaned her hands and went to Renshou Palace.
Qianqing Palace is farther away from Renshou Palace, and when Queen Zhou arrived at Renshou Palace, Feng Yunzheng and his party had not yet arrived, and Empress Dowager Shi happily took Queen Zhou's hand and chanted Princess Chun'an.
"The first time the concubine saw the eldest princess of Chun'an was at her father's longevity banquet, her temperament was gentle, bright and moving, but it was really amazing to the concubine, the concubine could see that although the eldest princess of Chun'an was married to the Western Regions, she must have a good life." Empress Zhou said with a smile.
"The concubine still remembers Bai Xianyun, who was still the eldest prince of the Western Regions, was considerate to the eldest princess of Chun'an, personally clothing vegetables, peeling fruits, and mixing oil in honey.
Queen Zhou's eyes flashed with envy, after all, what woman doesn't like to have a couple for a lifetime, and it is really a good destination for the eldest princess of Chun'an to marry Bai Xianyun.
Empress Dowager Shi listened to Queen Zhou's memories and also remembered, "I think that when Bai Xianyun and the mourning family came to beg for someone, the mourning family was 10,000 reluctant, how far away the Western Regions was, the mourning family was really reluctant to marry Chun'an, but they couldn't stand Chun'an's own heart. β
"Bai Xianyun's various promises will be good to Chun'an, the mourning family doesn't believe it, but the life is lived by the husband and wife themselves, they like it so much, the mourning family is not the wicked person who beats the mandarin duck, nodded and agreed to this family."
"Fortunately, Bai Xianyun is a man who stands up to the sky, and he does what he says, every time the mourning family receives a letter, Chun'an shows joy between the lines, and the mourning family is also happy for her, fortunately, the mourning family did not marry her to the wrong person."
"Hehe, it's also Chun'an's own good vision."
After Empress Dowager Shi finished speaking, she thought of sadness, and the smile on her face slowly narrowed, revealing sorrow, "But Bai Xianyun is not long-lived, heyββ"
Bai Xianyun died at the age of forty-five, when the eldest princess of Chun'an was forty-one, it was sad enough, the first emperor was also not that year, but the first emperor was treated well and was considered to be long-lived, as long as the Empress Dowager Shi thought that her Chun'an was widowed in the same year as herself, her heart was not good, and she felt more pity for this daughter.
"Mother, you have to think of something good." Queen Zhou said seriously, "In the twenty-two years since the eldest princess of Chun'an got married, it was soaked in honey all the time, and the concubine told the truth that she didn't listen to, and the eldest princess of Chun'an was the happiest among women. β
"What's more, there are three lovely children to keep by my side."
"It's the truth." Empress Dowager Shi nodded in agreement, and a smile reappeared on her face.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Empress Zhou stood up to greet her, "Your Majesty is auspicious." β
Feng Yunzheng was a little surprised that Empress Zhou was also in Renshou Palace, nodded and greeted Empress Dowager Shi, "Queen Mother, my son has brought your longing grandson." β
"The Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose." Bai Guzhi kowtowed and saluted, and Yingda followed with moist eyes behind Bai Guzhi.
"The Queen Mother (Queen Mother)." Feng Yunmo and Shi Xiaolian also greeted him.
Empress Dowager Shi didn't expect Feng Yunmo and Shi Xiaolian to be there, and she became more and more happy in her heart, "Hurry up, hurry up." β
"Therefore, come to the mourning family and let the mourning family take a good look." Empress Dowager Shi beckoned to Bai Guzhi, took his hand and looked at it carefully, "Well, it looks really like your mother." β
"The Queen Mother looks exactly like the paintings in my mother's collection." Bai Guzhi looked at the Empress Dowager Shi without fear and said.
"Painting?" Empress Dowager Shi was happy after thinking about it, "You can't be talking about the portrait that Chun'an painted for the mourning family before she got married, right?" β
"Yes."
"Haha, you kid, that's the young mourning family, how can it be exactly the same as now."
"But that's what it looks like."
