The next day, because they entered the palace, Yun Zhen and the others were a little late, and they all arrived in the Taiming Palace, and the two were late. For the emperor and Concubine Rong, it is naturally okay, Daiyu has a big belly, and it is not easy to step on the snow to come in. The emperor inevitably complained, "Although the etiquette is big and filial piety is the best, but you are too nonsense, this road is not easy to walk, why did you still enter the palace?" ”

  The two knelt down to salute, the emperor had the heart to be exempt, who knows, the queen mother was there, and she didn't say a word, so she had to watch Daiyu kneel down and kowtow with difficulty. Next to her, the crown princess said, "Eighth brother and sister, I didn't say that I had to let you come, you are really, but there are no three long and two short on the road, which also makes people think that the queen mother is not sympathetic, so I have to ask you to come in to pay New Year's greetings." If there are three long and two short, how can you call the queen mother how to live? ”

  When the queen mother heard this, she naturally snorted coldly, turned her face away, didn't look at Daiyu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked Yun Zhen, "I heard that you are a lawless person who was restrained by your wife, and I also gave you two people, who knows that you would rather serve your daughter-in-law in person every day than ask me to serve those two people to serve you, you are a virtuous person." ”

  Yun Zhen glanced at Daiyu distressedly, and saw that her face was a little bad, so he threw a look at the emperor for help, and the emperor had no choice but to say, "The queen mother wants to be punished, it is better to call them up first, for the sake of your great-grandson!" ”

  The Empress Dowager glanced at Daiyu and said, "Get up, you are too good at being a man, but I didn't call someone to your house yesterday and told you not to come today, so you have to come, do you want to ask someone to say that I am not good?" ”

  Daiyu only said superficially, "The concubine doesn't dare!" ”

  She got up and stepped aside, leaving Yun Zhen still kneeling and saying, "Back to the Queen Mother, because those two people were given by the Queen Mother, where did the ministers and grandchildren dare to call them too tired, and they didn't dare to ask them to serve, so the ministers and grandchildren should still be respectful to them, and seeing them is like seeing the Queen Mother." ”

  The queen mother became more and more angry, "You don't mess around with me, I also gave two to the prince, Brother Ning, Brother Xuan and Brother You, I didn't give any of them, who didn't give it and put it in the house, the prince also hugged a big fat boy in the second year, but you, don't take my people seriously, do you think that coming in on the first day of the new year is filial piety to me?" ”

  Daiyu took a deep look at the crown princess, the queen mother is the aunt and grandmother of the crown princess, so she naturally protects the crown princess everywhere. She was about to stand up and confess, but Concubine Rong stopped her with her eyes and said with a smile, "What the Queen Mother did, where does Brother Zhen dare to disrespect?" He probably understood the wrong meaning to be so, who called him the youngest, and his daughter-in-law was not good at teaching, this is the case. ”

  Saying that, Concubine Rong instructed Yun Zhen, "If you don't kowtow to the Queen Mother soon, just say that Brother Zhen is wrong, and you will definitely listen to the Queen Mother in the future." ”

  Yun Zhen had no choice but to do so, and the Queen Mother reluctantly called him up. When everyone arrives, it is the Spring Festival Ceremony. In front of the Taiming Palace, set up an offering table towards the east, worship the spring cow picture, burn incense and sacrifice it. Because women were not allowed to participate, the queen mother led the inner palace concubines and princesses to the inner hall, and the queen mother followed, only the concubine position had a place, so Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine Ling, Princess Crown Princess and Princess Zhongshun were sitting, and everyone else was standing.

  Concubine Rong said, "Crown Princess, why did I hear a while ago that there was a normal presence in the palace, how did you offend the crown princess?" She smiled, "I heard again that it was a collision with the crown princess, and His Majesty ordered me to restrain me from the Yeting Palace, if it really collided, I will ask her to kowtow to you to make amends!" ”

  The crown princess's face changed slightly, and she quickly regained her expression and said with a smile, "What's the matter?" It's worth it. She beckoned to Daiyu, "Eighth brother and sister, come over and sit in my place." ”

  The Queen Mother smiled, "It's not that you don't have a seat, you are so ghostly." Ask people to sit down, let's all sit, for the New Year's holiday, although the young and old are orderly, they can't be too restrained. ”

  When the god of spring is sacrificed over there, the palace is wrapped with dumplings, there are vegetarian fillings, carrots, Chinese cabbage, with mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, dried beans and the like, mixed with sesame oil, it is vegan, for the queen mother, Hui Fei, Rong Fei, the crown princess, the princess and so on, these are used for fasting, and the other meat is pork cabbage, chicken and bamboo shoots.

  Daiyu and the others still want to cloth vegetables, personally serve soup and juice to the queen mother, because they don't know the taste of the queen mother, Daiyu doesn't know how to do it. An Concubine came over, took the plate from Daiyu's hand with a smile, glanced at her lower abdomen inadvertently, and taught her, "The queen mother is very kind and easy to serve, but whenever the princess of Qinjun serves a snack, she knows that this juice is only lighter, but it can't be without taste, a spoonful of vinegar, a spoonful of sauce, and some bean curd to mix it." ”

  When Daiyu sat down to eat, the dumplings were cold, and they couldn't be eaten because they were all cold dishes. The people in the eunuch palace in the Taiming Palace are all snobs, and they are not people who do not serve, since they are all pointed out by the queen mother to make rules, how many are willing to stammer?

  No one went to hot dumplings and hot dishes, Daiyu ate two bites randomly, sandwiched some shredded pheasant and ate, because the queen mother wanted to sleep, Concubine Rong took Daiyu back from Taiming Palace, entered the palace, and quickly asked someone to heat a bowl of lotus seed soup for her to drink, as if she was distressed, "I told them to go to hot porridge, you eat a few bites in a while, pitiful!" ”

  Daiyu said with a smile, "I am not always in the palace, but my mother, I have to serve in front of the queen mother every day, and the mother concubine herself has to take care of herself." ”

  Concubine Rong laughed and smoothed the hair on Daiyu's sideburns behind her ears, "The mother concubine has been here for more than 20 years, why should you worry about me?" What the Queen Mother said today was just listening to the instigation of others, you don't have to take it to heart, those two vixens are the same, don't really put them in the house. Even if you want to pick a side concubine and pick the people in the house in the future, you should also be cautious, according to me, now that the two of you are married, it is time to have a few more sons-in-law in the past, these things should be put aside for a few years, and the two should discuss properly before acting. ”

  Daiyu couldn't listen to these things, but fortunately, her serious mother-in-law didn't say that she wanted her to collect the people in the house for Yun Zhen, so she became happy and agreed.

  After a break, it was said that the queen mother was playing cards with a few wives, and if she didn't ask them to go in to serve for a while, Daiyu would go back. It happened that Yun Zhen came back and had a reunion dinner with Concubine Rong, Daiyu drank a bowl of pigeon soup hotly, and she was comfortable, and Yun Zhen helped her walk in the snow and it was not cold.

  When she entered the house, it was Qingwen who came out to pick her up, and Daiyu was a little surprised and asked, "What about Mama Li?" On this cold day, Daiyu saw that Qingwen was only wearing a pair of padded pants, she was not afraid of the cold, her waist was light, and she threw a braid, almost to Yun Zhen's face, Yun Zhen's face was naturally not good-looking, and she helped Daiyu into the house, and went straight into the room.
