Chapter 404: A Provocation That Follows You Everywhere
The Queen Mother had nothing to do, but she was anxious, she wanted to find Su Lingyue's errand, but there were many things in the imperial capital, and Su Lingyue handled everything in an orderly manner, and it seemed to be impeccable.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after ending the rewards of the ministers, Xiao Chenyu went to Yishou Palace to send blessings to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was worshipping the Buddha with incense, holding the wooden fish and chanting "Amitabha", but a wooden fish smashed on the head of a green-headed fly.
After the Queen Mother's ceremony was completed, Meishou sent pastries to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's loving eyes fell on Xiao Chenyu, and the mother and son seemed to be unusually harmonious.
"The emperor has worked hard for the past few days, so he will use a little bit of heart here in the mourning family."
Xiao Chenyu took it, and after eating two pieces, the Queen Mother said: "You too, how can you leave the table in advance, everyone is like sitting on pins and needles." ”
"Queen Mother, you don't know anything, it's not that the sons have to leave the table early, it turns out that the sons have encountered something, and the things on the side plug are said to be the soldiers, and the things on the soldiers are the most important."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and said in disbelief: "But Daqi is disturbing the people at the border?" ”
"The queen mother didn't know that the Great Apocalypse was on the one hand, and there were also the Jurchens and Uighurs, these nomads on the steppe were like tigers and leopards, and they always wanted to wave their troops south." Xiao Chenyu looked at the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother heard this, everything was completely understood.
"Yes." Her old hand curled up and gently held Nanmu's rosary, "In this case, it is naturally a military affair and a top priority, and the mourning family understands you." ”
"Queen Mother, the sons have also prepared gifts for you." Xiao Chenyu applauded and asked Fusheng to bring in a gift, and the old eunuch Fusheng came in with a few people carrying a one-person-high thing, which was draped with a crimson gauze, and Xiao Chenyu approached.
"This is the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the queen mother, this is the son of the minister invited from the outside, please take a look at the queen mother." The Queen Mother has done countless bad things in her life, and now that she is old, she always shuddes when she thinks of the actions of her youth when she was resting and running out of books, so she is very superstitious about the broad and profound Buddhism.
"My Buddha is merciful, and my son has a heart." The Queen Mother stared at the Buddha statue and smiled.
"Please be happy, and your ministers will be happy too." Because there were still things in the previous dynasty, Xiao Chenyu prevaricated and left in a hurry.
Although the Queen Mother is not the biological mother of today, and even made trouble with Zhu Xinshan before, but after everything has passed, Xiao Chenyu is very good to her, and she fulfills the duty of a courtier. ”
The Queen Mother smiled with relief, no matter what, Xiao Chenyu still has her in her heart after all, even if it is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, she is always put first.
On the second day of the first month, Beijing officials came back one after another, although they couldn't come to the harem, but they still sent a lot of gifts to Xiao Chenyu and Su Lingyue.
The gifts given by the concubine one after another, the gifts from the eldest brother and the younger sister are here, there are some things for Anping, Anping can't put it down, what is given to Su Lingyue is just some Chinese herbal medicine, but Su Lingyue is also regarded as an arch, and cherishes herself.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Dijing gradually does not have too many things to be busy, Su Lingyue can also relax and do what she likes to do, recently she is considered to have returned to her old business, still studying enough and acupuncture.
Everyone thought that at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, someone would embarrass Su Lingyue, but they didn't expect that this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet had passed peacefully, and she arranged all the complicated and difficult things in an orderly manner, and people were also relishing.
Things in the palace have gradually increased, Su Lingyue still takes care of it, and occasionally arranges some things for Liuli and Shufei, Shufei is bold and careful, Liuli is smart and clever, and the combination of these two is also like a tiger for Su Lingyue.
As for Xiao Chenyu, he wished that someone would help Su Lingyue so that Su Lingyue could be more relaxed.
Su Lingyue gradually discovered that Concubine Shu was not a person with great ambitions and talents, she was just not used to showing herself, just because her father was a businessman, and she was arrogant and ashamed of herself among the concubines.
As for Liuli, Su Lingyue is a smart person, she can see that Princess Liuli has ulterior motives for Xiao Chenyu, but Xiao Chenyu is really unintentional.
And Liuli is not as unbearable as Zhilan said, she is a little bad in her heart, but she is not hopeless.
Life in the palace is as calm as flowing water, and the Queen Mother, who has always liked to attack Su Lingyue, has now stopped, but Zhilan still reminds Su Lingyue from time to time to be on guard.
On this day, Su Lingyue needed to go over to say goodbye, and take all the concubines to Yishou Palace, and when Su Lingyue and they arrived, Xiao Chenyu had already arrived, and he was talking about some things in the Buddhist scriptures.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled, she knew that Xiao Chenyu had never believed in Buddha, and to have today's high-minded talk, in fact, she had done a lot of homework.
"In this way, it is really auspicious." Xiao Chenyu summed up his statement, in fact, he wanted to use a small story of Buddhism to remind the Queen Mother that there is a cause and effect theory in everything, and you must not do things that deceive your heart in the dark room, but the Queen Mother is listening with an old face, but she is noncommittal.
But on the whole, smart as the Queen Mother quickly understood, the two chatted for a while, the concubines outside arrived, the concubines smiled like flowers, and a group of people came in neatly.
Everyone originally came to congratulate the Empress Dowager, but they didn't expect that Xiao Chenyu would be here, and after worshipping the Empress Dowager, they shouted three times long live.
Xiao Chenyu got up, "Get up, don't have so many rules, under the New Year." ”
The middle-aged man was exempt from courtesy, and sat down according to his teeth, the Queen Mother looked at Su Lingyue, and found that the color Su Lingyue was wearing today was also very simple, and it was according to her preferences, and she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Looking at the girls behind them, the girls were all low, very obedient.
Everyone sat quietly, occasionally chatting about some things inside and outside the palace, but they were all hearsay and gossip.
Some people tease the stuffy child, say some witty words to make the Queen Mother laugh, since more people came over to chat with her, the Queen Mother was overjoyed, and her eyebrows danced.
Before noon, the Queen Mother let Meishou pass the meal, today to dine with the concubines, everyone is busy, after the lunch is delivered, everyone is happy to eat.
After the end, retreated the leftovers and burned coldly, everyone saw that the Queen Mother was happy today, and they had no intention of leaving, and they didn't know who was blindly coaxing, saying that they wanted to show their talents to the Queen Mother.
With this reminder, the Queen Mother also likes to watch dances and nods her head again and again.
Concubine Mei volunteered, not so much to show the Queen Mother to dance, but to perform for Xiao Chenyu, the dance performance was amazing, it was a bamboo branch dance.
The best performance of this bamboo branch dance should be "dancing like a frightening Hong" like "dancing to figure out the shadow", this girl played vividly and vividly, and her performance was remarkable.
During the banquet, the beautiful dance conquered many people, and even Xiao Chenyu, who usually likes to find faults, nodded.
"What's the name of that girl in Masamiya red?" Xiao Chenyu asked, and Fusheng hurriedly approached Xiao Chenyu.
"Back to Long Live Lord, this girl was drafted into Beijing in the sixth year of Daxing, and she was registered as a concubine, Concubine Mei." Hearing this, Xiao Chenyu tried his best to think about it, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't seem to know who this woman was.
Concubine Mei?
The memory is so long that he is blurred, "Write down Concubine Mei for me." Xiao Chenyu said, Fusheng's old face twitched, rarely this happens, Xiao Chenyu will take the initiative to ask for a concubine.
He didn't know what Xiao Chenyu meant, and he didn't dare to figure it out, Concubine Mei saw that everyone was stunned, isn't this the effect she wanted, the smile on her face was deeper than just now, and she approached Xiao Chenyu, "The emperor's concubine is serving a glass of wine." ”
Xiao Chenyu took the wine glass from Concubine Mei's hand.
The people next to him looked at Concubine Mei and Xiao Chenyu at the same time, Xiao Chenyu drank it all, and said unsatisfied: "Good wine." Concubine Mei stared at Xiao Chenyu with a smile, and the big eyes of the ghost were flickering, as beautiful as black agate.
Xiao Chenyu's eyes were bright, and he waved his hand at Concubine Mei, who was affectionate and charming, as if this one look at each other could open a chapter of love between the two.
Everyone found that this Concubine Mei is not simple, there is an ethereal beauty between her gestures, because she loves dance, her body is very fit, and Su Lingyue's intellectual beauty is different, she embodies another kind.
"That's Concubine Mei," Concubine Shu next to her coughed lightly, her head tilted slightly towards Saint Su Lingyue, Su Lingyue nodded lightly when she heard this, she didn't care what kind of concubine this woman was, Concubine Shu saw that Su Lingyue was not moved at all, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Niangniang, that's Concubine Mei." ”
"I see, just say it once, and one after another?" Su Ling said.
Concubine Shu meant, this girl is flattering frequently, Su Lingyue should know her purpose, but Su Lingyue doesn't seem to care much about Xiao Chenyu's private life.
"Concubines can also dance." It seems that their eyebrows and flirts gradually hurt someone, and someone finally couldn't listen to it anymore and said softly.
The Queen Mother wished that there would be a few more girls next to Xiao Chenyu, so she didn't look at the woman, and said with a smile: "It's just right, the mourning family has time to enjoy your outstanding performance today, what is your talent?" ”
"The concubine is also dancing here." The girl smiled.
Concubine Shu next to her stared at the girl, and approached Su Lingyue again, "It's Concubine Li." Su Lingyue nodded, secretly thinking that Master Shufei had a very good memory, and she remembered these women who never showed up on weekdays.
"It's just that Dong Shi is just doing it." Liuli next to him drank a glass of mockery that was not salty or light, Su Lingyue heard it and pushed over a plate of dim sum.
The meaning is naturally not to talk too much, depending on the tricks.
Concubine Na Li smiled when she heard the permission of the Queen Mother, "The dance performed by the concubine here is completely different from the one my sister just now, and the concubine will dance with a golden plate." ”
