Chapter 385: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve
This history book is a record of Zhao Kehan's identity before it was revealed, and now everyone knows that Concubine Jia is the princess of the previous dynasty.
But Jin Yantang's eyes always stayed on the words "the first emperor loves his daughter".
His eyes were deep, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: he knew the first emperor's love for Zhao Kehan, and even when he killed the first emperor, the first emperor begged him to let Zhao Kehan go.
It makes no sense that the first emperor gave his sister Zhao Yue and younger brother Zhao Que to Cao Yi to prepare a fief, but nothing was left for Zhao Kehan.
Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, recalling the scene of seeing Zhao Kehan again.
After the death of the first emperor, many concubines and concubines in the palace fled, and Zhao Kehan was nowhere to be found.
After a lapse of three years, when Jin Yantang was inspecting in Zhejiang, he brought back Zhao Kehan, who was staying in Zhaofu, Zhejiang.
In the past three years, has Zhao Kehan been in the Zhao Mansion all along? How did she leave the palace in the first place?
Thinking about it, a deep meaning gradually appeared in Jin Yantang's eyes.
Then, he raised his eyes to look out of the door and said, "Come on, call Master Li of Dali Temple!" ”
At this time, Jin Yantang realized that he seemed to know very little about this Concubine Jia.
Or rather, this Concubine Jia is hiding more things than he imagined.
……
Three days passed quickly, and the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.
On this day, not only outside the palace, but also the imperial palace was lively.
Early in the morning, Shang Kelan got up to freshen up and took the concubines to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother.
At this time, in the main hall, the queen mother sat on the main seat, looked at the concubines with satisfaction and said: "This new year is coming, you, if anyone gives birth to a big fat grandson to the mourning family first, the mourning family will reward her with a big gift." ”
Around the Chinese New Year, everyone is looking for an auspicious picture, and the palace concubines who came to invite Ann today have also dressed up deliberately, who doesn't point to the glamorous ones to compare with others?
Therefore, this hall can really be described as "a hundred flowers blooming".
Shang Kelan wore an apricot-colored stand-up collar skirt embroidered with red plums, the collar and cuffs were trimmed with gold, and the jet-black bun wore a ruby head, which was very elegant.
After listening to the Queen Mother's words, she smiled slightly: "Sisters, with the blessing of the Queen Mother, maybe Your Majesty will hold her grandson in the coming year?" ”
Jia Zhaoyi also smiled: "What Concubine Chen said is that the concubine is also here to wish Concubine Chen Niangniang good news as soon as possible!" ”
Concubine Chen was favored by the saints, and the concubines were envious and jealous, so they had to say a few sour words, but today is a good day, and everyone also picked up auspicious words to say.
As soon as you say a word to me, you immediately made the Queen Mother smile.
The Queen Mother waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Oh, are you smearing honey with your mouth today?" The words of each are so sweet that the mourning family is in their hearts, no matter what, it's not early at this time, your family will definitely arrive at the palace gate, so go and greet your respective families. ”
During the New Year in the palace, the palace concubines above the fourth grade have the opportunity to reunite with their relatives in the outer palace.
As soon as the Queen Mother spoke, all the concubines were overjoyed, and they all got up and said to the Queen Mother: "Thank you Empress Dowager, the concubines are retired!" ”
After they left, the smile on the Queen Mother's face faded a little.
Wanqin helped her to Shang Kelan, Shang Kelan smiled at her: "Queen Mother, the concubine let people set off fireworks in the imperial garden, tonight as soon as the time comes, someone will light fireworks, when the time comes, the palace will be extremely lively, you can also see it in Cining Palace." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head, a little disappointed and said: "Alas, this Han'er called herself sick as soon as she came back, and she didn't go out all day long, I wonder if she complained in her heart that her family didn't let His Majesty favor her?" ”
Shang Kelan's expression remained unchanged, and he gently persuaded: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, now in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I miss the Empress Dowager, and the concubines heard that the Yun family, which had a good relationship with the General's Mansion in previous years, was also invited into the palace by His Majesty, and is sitting in the Crescent Moon Pavilion at this time, and the old lady of the Yun family is also here, the Empress Dowager, do you want to meet?" ”8090
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was instantly overjoyed and looked at her: "Old Taijun Yun is here?" How come the mourning family doesn't know? Quick, take the mourning family to the Crescent Moon Pavilion to meet her! ”
Shang Kelan hurriedly helped her and said: "Queen Mother, slow down, Your Majesty said that he wanted to give you a surprise, the Yun family now only has Yun Lao Taijun and an eighteen-year-old grandson, this time I came to the capital, I also want to settle in the city, you don't have to worry about not seeing the old lady in the future!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, and said: "I see, that's fine, that's right, Wanqin, you go and put the mourning family's Ejiao deer antler velvet and snow lotus ginseng or something, all kinds of tea and supplements are prepared, remember to let Old Taijun Yun take it back later, understand?" ”
The Queen Mother had just taken two steps before she instructed Wanqin.
Wanqin replied respectfully: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
With that, he retreated.
Shang Kelan supported the Queen Mother, and Yuliu followed behind the two.
The Crescent Moon Pavilion is not far from Cining Palace, just near the Middle Palace, take a sedan chair to go, and it only takes ten minutes to arrive.
……
The Crescent Pavilion is the place where the concubines of the past dynasties received their relatives, and it is divided into two halls, east and west. The east hall receives male dependents, and the west hall receives female dependents.
At this moment, the two halls are very lively, and the people of each family talk to each other, each with a New Year's gift.
In the west hall, Mrs. Shang sat on the first chair on the left, she wore an orange embroidered plum skirt with green trim, and a jade hairpin on her head.
The bejeweled woman sitting next to her, dressed in pink, was Zhang Baozhi.
Zhang Baozhi's eyes looked around, staying on the tea cup for a while, and on the incense burner and hanging paintings for a while, his eyes were shining, as if he had seen money.
Mrs. Shang couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she saw that Mrs. Zhang, who came with Zhang Baozhi, was even more exaggerated, and actually held the jade Ruyi on the Eight Treasures Pavilion, caressing it carefully, her eyes were full of greed!
Suddenly, Mrs. Shang shook her head and looked away from them.
Then there was a commotion from the women who were standing by the door and talking, and they were only heard:
"Huh? This old lady looked at her eyes, which old lady in the capital is it? ”
"Gee, how can a man come in?"
"These two people don't seem to have seen each other in the capital?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Shang subconsciously looked at the door, but saw the crowd retreating on both sides, and a handsome and shy young man walked in with an old lady with gray temples and calm eyes.
This old lady looked seventy or eighty, wearing a scarlet dress, covered with white hair, although her eyes were a little cloudy, but the calm in her eyes made people think that she was not angry and arrogant.
Although the women discussed in whispers, they did not dare to come forward and be presumptuous.
Seeing this old lady, Mrs. Shang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Old lady Yun, long time no see!" ”
Mrs. Yun?
Everyone looked at Mrs. Shang and Mrs. Yun with puzzled expressions and whispered.
"Mrs. Shang seems to be familiar with her, could it be that this old lady Yun has a great background?"
"But we don't seem to have seen her at all!"
"It's better to be careful in everything, don't offend for the time being, you see, even Mrs. Zuo Xiang is so polite to her!"
No matter what outsiders say, when Mrs. Yun saw Mrs. Shang, a kind smile appeared on her calm face, and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Shang, Yun Qing, haven't you seen your Aunt Shang yet?" ”
The young man who was holding her hurriedly saluted Mrs. Shang and said, "Yun Qing, the young master of Yunjiabao, has seen Mrs. Shang. ”
