Chapter 12: The Old Princess Summons
In the early morning of the next day, the two little milk bags got up early and lay on the head of Qinghuan's bed. Qing Huan had to sigh at the bloodline of the royal family, this genetic inheritance is really amazing. Let's talk about Su Ying first, with the air of a king, coupled with his beautiful face, and then Su Lu, the king of Duan, although he has been fighting for many years, he is brave and good at fighting, and he is also suave. Then there is Su Jin, the winged king who has disappeared for many years and has become the myth of South Vietnam, although he has not seen him in person, but the rumors about him are known to everyone. If you want to say that this is the most beautiful man in South Vietnam, he has to be.
Look at this group of children, all of them are handsome. Qing Huan stretched his waist, took two small milk bags, and kissed one person, who knew that the two small milk bags shouted that men and women could not kiss each other, but Qing Huan laughed to death.
Qinghuan asked Qing'er Xin'er to serve and wash, and Yuechen on the side said in a milky voice, "Aunt Huang, grandma asked you to go over and say goodbye." ”
"But the old princess?" Qing Huan turned around and pondered for a while, isn't the grandmother of the two little milk bags her mother-in-law, the old princess. After thinking about it, Qing Huan didn't have a very deep impression of this old princess, but remembered that it was an old lady who spoke kindly, and said that she was an old lady who was actually only forty or fifty years old.
This old princess was just the concubine of the first king, but the first princess of the first king died after giving birth to Su Ying, so she was allowed to succeed to the throne. This old princess is also kind-hearted and will not intrigue, so she sincerely supports Su Ying and helps her succeed to the throne. but just taught her own son Su Lu to assist Su Ying.
This selfless mother also made Qinghuan admire it several times, and when the old princess summoned her, she naturally couldn't slack off. quickly cleaned up, and instructed Chunyin Qiulu to take care of the two small milk bags, and asked Qing'er to go to the treasury to go to the red jade ornaments brought by Beiqing, and took Qing'er and Xin'er to the old princess's Cining Palace.
Cining Palace is the best place in the whole palace, it is the palace that the first king Nian was meritorious to the old princess, gentle and polite, and taught his son well, and specially built a palace for the old princess. Qing Huan bypassed the rockery pavilion and walked past a piece of peony, and then arrived at the door of the main hall.
The old lady of Cining Palace was waiting at the door, and when she saw Qing Huan and others approaching, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Chang Guiren, the old slave is the grandmother of the old princess, the old slave can be called the old slave Zheng Mama, the old slave has been waiting for the noble person here for a long time, the noble person should follow me in." ”
The old grandmother of Cining Palace is an old man who has experienced two generations, even if it is a grandmother, Qing Huan does not dare to slack off, and bows her head slightly, "There is Mama Lao Zheng to lead the way." ”
The old princess was drinking tea in the main hall, and there were a few little palace maids waiting on the side, asking a few words about the recent events in the palace from time to time. Mama Zheng took Qing Huan into the main hall, "Niangniang, the noble man is here." ”
Qing Huan glanced at the old princess on the throne, although she was over half a hundred years old, she was very well maintained, with a graceful and luxurious posture, but it was not majestic, but it made people feel very kind. Qing Huan bowed his head and saluted, "Qing Huan greets the old princess." ”
The old princess finally waited for Qinghuan, nodded, and said, "Get up, don't be polite." With a wave of his hand, he asked the little eunuchs to give them a seat.
Qing Huan presented the jade ornament and sat quietly. Since Qing Huan came in, the old princess has been looking at her, and Qing Huan's low eyebrows and pleasing appearance made the old princess like her very much. The old princess was also married to the princess of the small country and her relatives, although the first king destroyed the small country, but the old princess never resented. Because although it is said to destroy the country, it is actually protected by the previous king. When the old princess saw Qing Huan, she seemed to see herself in a foreign country at that time.
"Come forward and let this princess take a look."
Qing Huan couldn't figure out the old princess's thoughts, so she sat on the side, but the old princess suddenly asked her to come forward, Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward with a light smile to say goodbye.
The old princess looked at Qing Huan carefully: a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil, if the shoulders were cut into a waist, and the skin was like a condensed gas. Fold the waist to micro-step, showing the wrist in the light yarn. The eyes are full of spring water and clear waves, and a hollow golden hairpin is obliquely inserted in the bun on the head, decorated with a little purple jade, and the tassel is sprinkled on the green silk. Simple dress-up without losing measure.
"The mourning family heard that you had an inappropriate relationship with the Beiqing envoy the day before yesterday, but is there such a thing?" The old princess took a sip of the teacup, although she had a good impression of Qinghuan, but she would not allow this kind of thing to lose the royal face.
Qing Huan knew that this kind of thing was unspeakable, but she didn't know why she didn't want the old princess to look down on her, so she hurriedly knelt down to justify, "The concubine and the envoy of Beiqing have been commensurate with brother and sister since childhood, and they don't want to be left behind, it is the concubine's negligence, and the concubine is also trying her best to reflect on it, and she forgets the old princess's punishment!" ”
The old princess didn't expect Qinghuan to be so sincere, and sighed, "The mourning family doesn't punish you, and the king's punishment for you is not too much in the eyes of the mourning family, you take it as a warning." ”
"The concubines follow the teachings, thank you princess!" Thank you.
The old princess waved her hand and asked her to get up, such a watery child should not suffer from the cold palace, but once she enters the palace, it is as deep as the sea, and if you don't take more precautions, I am afraid it will be difficult to die well. I think that although I didn't have the intention of harming others, the heart of guarding against others also exists all the time.
"Yesterday's fire in the cold palace, someone must be trying to harm you, there are not many concubines on the king, but there are also many people with means and background, you are in a foreign country, you must not have the heart of harming people, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable." The old princess sighed and said as a passerby.
Qing Huan's eyes were red, and she suddenly remembered her mother, who was also like the old princess, every time she taught her a lesson first, and then helplessly taught her earnestly. Qing Huan suppressed his emotions and said, "Qing Huan thanks the old princess for her advice!" ”
After sitting for a short time, just as the old princess was about to go to the imperial garden for a walk and let Qing Huan accompany her, a quarrel sounded outside the door. After a while, the little eunuch hurriedly ran in and said with a sad face: "Niangniang, the concubine asks to see you." ”
A trace of annoyance flashed on the old princess's face, this Concubine Yang is really presumptuous! Qing Huan was a little puzzled, although she had not been in the palace for a long time, but she still knew about the people who should know, but when did she have a concubine? She didn't hear about it when she got married. Looking at the old princess's face again, she also knew that this concubine was not a good stubble, and when she was about to ask the old princess to retreat, the old princess waved her hand and said: "It's inconvenient to let Chang Guiren accompany the mourning family today, so you can go back first!" ”
Qing Huan saluted, "The concubine retired." ”
Qing Huan and his party walked to the door, and just happened to meet the "concubine" in the mouth of the little eunuch, Qing Huan was slightly surprised. The woman in front of her was only in her early twenties, wearing a white floor-length dress, embroidered with pink patterns on the wide hem, and a long cigarette purple silk on her arms. Qianqian's thin waist is tied with a purple brocade belt inlaid with jade. The jet-black hair was tied up with a lilac ribbon, and a few strands of hair fell mischievously down the shoulders, lining the broken skin even whiter.
If you don't look at her eyes with a little coldness and disdain, Qing Huan still thinks she is a peerless beauty. Although I don't know why such a beautiful young woman became a concubine, Qing Huan still saluted obediently, "Qing Huan pays a visit to the concubine." ”
"Yo, what's the matter, why is this concubine just here, and the noble person is leaving, what does this mean?" As soon as Concubine Yang came, she was aggressive, and Qing Huan had to wonder if she had offended her somewhere.
But I didn't have anything to do with her, so why should I be offended? Qing Huan smiled slightly, "Niangniang is serious, Qing Huan just came to ask the old princess Niangniang to say goodbye, the concubine Niangniang came to find the old princess Niangniang has something to do, Qing Huan is naturally inconvenient to stay for a long time, I don't want to be misunderstood by the concubine Niangniang, and I hope that the concubine Niangniang Haihan will be offended." ”
