Chapter Forty-Seven: The Audience of the Woman
Complete version
……………………………………………………
Hearing the queen mention this, Su Ruhui and others were all happy!
Especially Su Ruhui, Mrs. An naturally has a fate, as early as when Su Wanhai was the marquis, she had to be enshrined as Mrs. Zheng Yejun. It's just that Su Ruhui was involved, and the Queen Mother directly asked Mrs. An to be sick at home during the Chongyang Festival, and she didn't even set foot in the palace gate, and she was very faceless among the noblewomen in the imperial capital.
This time, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Queen Mother will take Su Ruhui back to Renshou Palace, and naturally she will not let Mrs. Zheng Yejun lose her dignity again, that is to say, today Su Ruhui can see her mother who has been away for several months, how can she not be excited?
"Oh, if you don't say it, the mourning family almost forgot." The Queen Mother thought about it for a while and said with a smile, "The girls around the mourning family should have been anxious for a long time, right?" Qiu Yuan, go pass it on. ”
Qiu Yuan, the chief supervisor of the Detai Palace, responded with a smile, shook off the dust, walked out of the hall in small steps, and was about to go to the palace gate to announce the order of the woman to meet him.
At this moment, the palace is already full, and there will be a place to receive the wife, naturally not everyone is qualified to stay, so the queen mother ordered that in addition to the queen and the three concubines of Gui, Shu and Xian, they all returned to the palace.
The concubines were ordered to retreat, but they saw Mrs. Baoluo step forward and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine has a reluctant request!" ”
Mrs. Baoluo is jealous, and she is not on good terms with Concubine Shen Shu, who is liked by the Queen Mother, but she is the daughter of a meritorious hero and is full of loyalty, so when she doesn't cause trouble, the Queen Mother will still give her a decent job, so she said: "You say." ”
"The concubine's nephew made several contributions in the west not long ago, His Majesty took pity on him, and promoted him to be the general of the five products Huaihua, because the concubine's sister also got the order of the imperial court, this time she will also enter the palace with the wife to meet her, the concubine has not seen her sister for thirteen years since she entered the palace, and she also asked the queen mother to let the concubine also stay, and she will meet her sister for a while!" As he spoke, Lin couldn't help but burst into tears.
The Queen Mother was pitiful and angry, and shouted: "What are you crying for a good holiday? Didn't the mourning family say that they wouldn't let you stay? ”
Lin was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.
The Queen Mother ordered her to return to her seat and sighed: "Lin, you are the person personally pointed out by the mourning family when the emperor got married, I didn't think that thirteen years have passed in a flash, and your child has always been a dead-eyed child, and I don't know how to be flexible!" Your parents are dead, and your brother-in-law also sacrificed his life for the country, only two sisters are left, one in the palace and one outside the palace depend on each other, and I want to meet in the middle, and talk to the mourning family and the queen, is it difficult for anyone else to stop you? It's just that the rules that should be followed are not followed, but the rules that can be flexible are firmly kept! ”
Lin was extremely moved by the queen mother's rebuke, and couldn't help but cry again: "The queen mother has mercy on the concubine, this is the blessing of the concubine, but the concubine's sister is widowed after all, but I am afraid of crashing into the palace. ”
"Nonsense, the palace is the residence of the heavenly family, the bell of all blessings, the emperor has his own heavenly family, and your sister is the wife of a meritorious hero, since your brother-in-law was martyred, she has been widowed alone with her eldest heir, where can she compare with those who are not blessed?" The Queen Mother said angrily, "Look, you foolish child, if you had said it earlier, the Mourning Family and the Queen would have arranged for your sister to meet, so why wait until today to cry with the Mourning Family!" ”
Queen Zhou sighed with emotion: "What the queen mother said is very right, I regret that my sister is looking at the wind and fire, why is she confused in important matters?" ”
Huo Qinglian sighed lightly, walked down from the Queen Mother's side, handed his handkerchief to the Lin family and said softly: "Obviously they are close relatives, but they are forced to separate the two sides, which is painful to the heart!" It's just that Mrs. quickly wipe her eyes, even if you are not afraid of recruiting the Queen Mother to accompany you sadly, you will see Madame's sister in a while, and I am afraid that it will make her worry! Huo Qinglian said these words with sincere and sincere expression, although Mrs. Baoluo had never crossed paths with her, she couldn't help but accept her feelings, took the handkerchief and said, "Thank you Miss Huo!" ”
"Where do you dare to call Miss in front of the Queen Mother, if Madam doesn't dislike it, just call me Lian'er." Huo Qinglian pursed his lips and smiled, and walked back to the Queen Mother's side.
Su Ruhui noticed that when Huo Qinglian did this, a trace of guilt and sadness flashed in the queen mother's eyes, but the county lord Huaizhen and Zhou Yi'er secretly gritted their silver teeth, and among the few girls standing next to the queen mother, only the county lord Danzhu didn't pay attention at all, and was taking a golden citrus in the fruit pot next to him to tease the fifth son of the queen mother, Gan Pei.
Gan Pei opened his black and white eyes, curiously following the citrus in Danzhu's hand, looking really cute. Su Ruhui couldn't help but smile at him.
A cold light shot from the slanted stab, Su Ruhui turned his head suddenly, but it was Song Caisu standing beside the queen, his eyes were cold and resentful.
Su Ruhui snorted coldly in her heart, and instead smiled sweetly at her.
Not long after, outside the Detai Palace, a series of clear and bright roll calls came in one after another, Dayong only the wives, mothers and grandmothers of officials above the fifth grade are qualified to be called the command, and the next can only be called the fate. The decree is divided into five levels, and the wife and mother of the first-class officials are the wives of the country; The third rank and above are the county lady; The fourth product is the county king; The fifth rank is the county monarch, and the wives and mothers of some fourth-rank lords are the township monarchs.
And the life is from the fifth grade of Shuo people, from the sixth grade for the flattering people, from the seventh grade for the pleasant, from the eighth grade for the people, and the ninth grade for the widow.
Those who entered the palace to celebrate at this moment were naturally all women of the rank of township monarch or above.
The first was not a wife, but Queen Ning, the old King Ning lived in the imperial capital for a long time due to illness, and now King Ning is the eldest son and heir of the first emperor, although it is the successor, but it is his own son, so the first emperor authorized him to stay in the imperial capital, and he did not have to go to the feudal country to be a vassal domain, so he stayed for a long time, and now he is presiding over the prison country in Ningguo.
King Ning stayed in the capital, and it was naturally impossible for the queen to go to seal the country alone, so today's audience, Huo De's wife and Huo Guifei's mother, Mrs. Xuanguo and Taifu Wuluo's continuation, both of which were Mrs. Mu Guo, fell into the second position. After that, the sun wandered around, and entered the temple according to the grade.
Su Ruhui's eyes widened, and after nearly ten women came in, she finally saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and the tip of her nose suddenly became sore, so she couldn't help it, and quietly nodded to Mrs. Zheng Yejun while no one was paying attention.
The first batch of people who were received by the Queen Mother were all from the orders of officials above the second rank, and all of them had extraordinary bearing, even if they were compared with the first queen, three concubines and one lady under the Queen Mother, they did not lose their manners.
The tedious and long audience finally ended, and the Queen Mother gave everyone a seat, so she smiled at Queen Ning: "Jingguang misses Huaizhen?" As he spoke, he ordered Lord Huaizhen to step forward and show Queen Ning a closer look.
Queen Ning held her daughter's hand and looked at it with a good eye, but said with a smile in her mouth: "Where is the Queen Mother?" Huai Zhen can be by the Queen Mother's side, and it is her blessing to be taken care of by the Queen Mother. ”
"Jingguang said this, the mourning family ironed in his heart, but when you say this, you can make the mourning family believe by looking at the mourning family a little instead of staring at Huaizhen with a good eye." The Queen Mother sighed deliberately.
For a while, everyone couldn't help laughing, and Mu Jingguang, the back end of King Ning, hurriedly withdrew his gaze from his daughter and said angrily: "The concubine is looking at Huaizhen who has been raised by the Queen Mother for so many years, but it is much more beautiful, so that the concubine dare not admit it!" Where is the perfunctory Queen Mother? ”
"Look at it, Jingguang still has to quibble that she is not thinking about her daughter, where is there a mother who praises her daughter's beauty in public?" The Queen Mother said happily, "With the palace full of orders, there are a few outstanding girls around the mourning family, Jingguang dares to say such a frank thing, but isn't it for the sake of Huaizhen that he came to the mourning family to answer the truth?" ”
Duanmu Jingguang was teased by the Queen Mother, so she had to turn sideways to confess, but she heard Mrs. Mu Guo say with a smile: "When the Queen Mother said this, the concubine saw it, who is the little girl in the goose yellow shirt?" What a good look! When Mrs. Mu Guo said this, Mrs. Xuanguo, who was sitting in front of her, turned her head to look at her, and immediately made the young Mrs. Mu Guo retract the following words.
Su Ruhui guessed that what she wanted to say should be that Huo Qinglian was like Huo Zhaozi, today Huo Qinglian was wearing a goose yellow palace dress, the corners of the skirt and cuffs were tattooed with the style of peony flowers, the black hair was combed with a single snail, and there was no hairpin ring on it, but a string of eastern pearls was wrapped, the string of eastern pearls was full and bright, and standing nearby could smell a trace of elegant aroma, and the left wrist was covered with a string of nine treasure glazed beads rewarded by Changtai.
If it weren't for the fact that she was still young, I was afraid that Huo Zhaozi, who was nearly thirty years old, would not be able to do so.
Most of these women had never seen Huo Qinglian, and when they heard what Mrs. Mu Guo said, they looked at it together, and they were all amazed, saying that the queen mother was very blessed, and the girls who accompanied her were also extremely beautiful.
The Queen Mother smiled faintly: "This is not the blessing of the mourning family, it should be the blessing of Mrs. Xuanguo." ”
Mrs. Xuanguo hurriedly got up and said that she didn't dare, Su Ruhui watched from the side, only to feel that Huo Qinglian seemed to have a strange relationship with the Huo family, she was Mrs. Xuanguo's granddaughter, and the niece of the noble concubine Huo Zhaozi, but it seemed that Huo Qinglian was not very close to these two, and Huo Zhaozi did not mean to take special care of Huo Qinglian.
Even now Mrs. Xuanguo is not like the reaction of ordinary grandmothers when they see their granddaughters, looking at Huo Qinglian's gaze, faintly, she is a little ...... Awe?
Su Ruhui was secretly surprised.
At this time, although Su Ruhui and others had almost seen their mother, they couldn't come forward to get close, and they had to wait until the end of the whole audience, and they had to get permission from the queen mother to stay in the palace for a while, or send their mother out of the palace, so that they could take the opportunity to say some private words.
Not long after, the Queen Mother asked Wei Yuanbo's wife, Mrs. Changyang County, who is also the Queen Mother's brother-in-law and the mother of Zhang Xuan. Zhang Huan's appearance is obviously inherited from Mrs. Changyang County, this lady has a pretty face and phoenix eyes, although she is over thirty years old, she is full of charm and charm, and she is very seductive.
When the Queen Mother was talking to her, Zhou Yi'er, who was about two steps away from Su Ruhui, wringed her veil vigorously - I don't know if she thought that if Zhang Yi was born so charming in the future, it would inevitably make the princes fall in love?
Mrs. Changyang County didn't say a few words to the Queen Mother, she knew that her husband was just an earl's title, and the Queen Mother greeted her first over a few princely ladies, but because the Zhang family has only had one Zhang Ziyi as an outstanding figure in recent years, although the Queen Mother did not particularly seek benefits for the family when she was regent, she still thought about her mother's family after all, and deliberately gave Wei Yuanbo dignity.
Several other princely ladies who were jumped over also knew it, and they all waited with a considerate smile, but Mrs. Changyang County was also informed, and the queen mother deliberately gave her decency, and she couldn't really occupy the queen mother's talk, wouldn't it make those waiting princely ladies look down on her.
The Queen Mother's gaze fell on several princes and ladies of different ages.
The first one is dressed in a crimson deep coat, with a blue Hunan skirt exposed, and her eyebrows are dignified and beautiful, which is Zhou Yi'er's mother, the wife of Zhou Zhinan, the Marquis of Yingzhong, and the lady of Shunzhang County.
Zhou Yi'er couldn't help but smile quietly at her mother, and when she thought that the Queen Mother was going to talk to Mrs. Shunzhangjun, the Queen Mother smiled slightly and looked at the person behind Mrs. Shunzhangjun......
