063 Accidents
The death of a child under the age of one is a normal thing in this world, especially a child born in the palace.
Therefore, except for the people who are closely related, this incident does not seem to bring any splash to the surroundings - the peach blossom banquet of the Shangsi Festival was held as scheduled.
Unlike last year, Mingzhu's family went to Cining Palace neatly, which was to build momentum for Linlang and a warning to all forces.
When Mingzhu and Wei Ci led Mrs. Tai into the main hall left and right, the Queen Mother greeted Mrs. Tai with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, can the old lady sleep better?" ”
Mrs. Tai: "Thank you for your concern, fortunately you gave me a few soothing incense, which has been very good recently." ”
Everyone: "I've seen the Queen Mother/Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, and while leading everyone to their seats, she greeted Mrs. Tai: "Since it is useful, you can bring some back later." ”
Until everyone sat down, Mingzhu was carefully observing his mother. A gentle smile and delicate makeup can't hide the sadness in the corners of your eyes.
Since the second day of Xiaocao's death, Mingzhu took Gillian and Bao into the palace to accompany the Queen Mother for two days. The Queen Mother looked much better, and she spoke in person before she drove them back to the house.
Looking at it now, my mother is still sad. Xiaocao has been in the world for a week, but she doesn't even have a serious name.
Mingzhu didn't care about the politeness of the two elders there, and directly hugged Gillian and Bao. "Queen Mother, come and hug my little Gillian and let her rub some blessings."
The two were interrupted, and they were not annoyed, and teased the two babies together.
Wei Ci Wei Shu was drinking tea and chatting by himself, and he didn't feel left out.
Linlang was a little nervous, although she had been familiar with the Queen Mother since she was a child, when did she sit down and drink tea like this?
The Queen Mother was so keen, she immediately noticed Linlang's discomfort, and said with a smile: "Linlang has really grown up, since you saved the emperor, the mourning family has never thanked you in person." ”
Linlang's hair suddenly stood on end, and she got up and knelt down: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Mingzhu is a little inexplicable.
The Queen Mother smiled even more kindly, and blamed: "Hurry up, hurry up, what is this for?" Now that he is a master, why do he still call himself a slave? It's a habit to change. ”
Linlang hurriedly got up and stood up straight, trying to pull out some smiles: "It's a joke for the mother, and the courtiers must work hard to practice etiquette in the future." ”
Mingzhu was very happy to see that her mother was so kind to Linlang: "Queen Mother, when Linlang enters the palace in the future, you will take care of it a little." She's a fool, but don't be taken advantage of. ”
"She's not stupid." The Queen Mother glanced at Linlang and said to Mingzhu dotingly: "With her background, it is enough to block most of the open and dark arrows." You can rest assured! ”
Seeing that it was almost time, the Queen Mother was ready to get up and lead Mingzhu and them to the Imperial Garden to participate in the peach blossom banquet. Tourmaline behind him suddenly said: "Niangniang copied the scriptures in the Buddha hall in the middle of the night last night, and got up early in the morning today. Don't be too tired. ”
The Queen Mother's face turned pale, and she reprimanded a little unhappily: "Do you want to talk more?!" ”
Unfortunately, tourmaline's face has not changed.
Mingzhu had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Oh, can't the queen mother be tired today?!" That's great! ”
This time, everyone's attention was attracted to it, and they all conveyed their disapproval.
Mingzhu stuffed Ah Bao into the arms of the Queen Mother with one hand: "To the queen mother, you can't be tired anyway, just stay here and help me watch these two little devils!" It also allows her daughter to play happily for a day. ”
The Queen Mother smiled, if you don't want to take the child, just put it at home, and have her own maid to take care of it. is so domineering and unkind at this time, obviously looking for a reason not to let her go out.
But at this time, she didn't want to brush her daughter's filial piety, so she smiled and said, "Okay, you go, have fun." Gillian and Bao, don't worry, the queen mother will help you take a good look. ”
When everyone arrived at the Imperial Garden, everyone dispersed. Wei Ci Wei Shu went to his acquaintance's circle. The Queen Mother led Linlang to the small circle of Mrs. Yipin.
Mingzhu also saw Qin Huaiyu and his aunt Jiang at this time. So he walked straight over: "I've seen my aunt." ”
Jiang was about to step forward with a smile, when he heard two light coughs from Qin Huaiyu beside him. Immediately nodded dignifiedly, and said stiffly: "Mingzhu is here to talk to Huaiyu, right?" Then you go, I am just going to look for your grandmother, and I will remember to come back when the feast is going on. ”
Qin Huaiyu bowed respectfully, and then stepped forward and pulled Mingzhu away.
After walking farther, Mingzhu laughed in a low voice: "It's a mother-in-law who trains her daughter-in-law 1, it's good for you to train your mother-in-law." ”
Qin Huaiyu began to pour bitter water with a helpless face: "You don't know how difficult she was when I was in charge of the family at the beginning. I told you this quietly, and I don't know how many times I was glad that she wasn't your cousin's mother. If it were, I'd probably be crying to death by now. Now this is still a lesson from my grandmother many times, and she has barely accepted some sycophancy. ”
Hearing this, Mingzhu didn't want to say anything. So he whispered to her and chatted with the gossip: "Is there anything interesting lately?" ”
Qin Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "It seems that I heard that in the guild hall, two days ago, Zhang Wuxi persuaded Wade to wear women's clothes like her. Wade was reluctant, and said a few ugly words, and the two of them quarreled. In the end, Wade actually ran back crying! ”
Mingzhu smiled and thought, "Sure enough, the world without Qiuqiu is indifferent, there are some special people, it's really difficult to find someone who can have a common language."
After a while, an attendant came to report: "The banquet is about to begin." ”
Mingzhu walked to the venue of the banquet with Qin Huaiyu. When they arrived, they went separately to find their own parents.
Mingzhu glanced around, and there were nearly 3 times more people coming in the past few years than last year. I don't know who came to pick and who came to confuse the public.
This year's banquet was organized by Concubine Lian, and the whole looked decent.
At the beginning, it was the same as last year, first Wenbi, but there were more fresh faces on it. After the first decision is made, it is the usual to ask and reward. Presumably, these are all here to participate in the selection.
After the first colored hair came down, Concubine Lian took advantage of the good atmosphere and got up to invite everyone to drink: "Today's beautiful scenery has good words and good sentences." When it is worth congratulating, please join me in drinking this cup."
I saw that when everyone was about to sit down one after another, one of the concubines under Concubine Lian said "ouch-vomit".
Concubine Lian asked with concern, "How are you?" Are you okay? Hurry up and call in a doctor. ”
Then how did Concubine Ren explain, Concubine Lian insisted on inviting Imperial Doctor Sun.
Mingzhu and Wei Ci glanced at each other.
Sure enough, Imperial Physician Sun took the pulse and announced, "Congratulations to the noble man, you are happy." ”
