Chapter 279: Xiansheng Junjun
In the past, today, Changtai will give a banquet to Xifu Palace, and call all the concubines to congratulate the concubine, this year because the concubine is pregnant, to protect the fetus, so only the concubines who have been favored in recent years are present, and the Ruan Cainu and the like that Su Ruhui has seen in the Lanqiu Palace have not yet arrived.
In addition, Concubine Hui was not stable because of severe morning sickness and Cui Jiali's identity, and Xu Baolin was not stable until she was full-term, so they only sent the palace maids around them to give them a gift, and explained the reason tactfully. Huo Guifei was worried that there were too many people and she didn't have the energy to deal with it, and she was afraid that those people were crowded with more people in her own place, and one was responsible for herself, and the other was unlucky, so not only did she not blame her, but she went everywhere in person to return the gift.
As Su Ruhui expected, Huo Guifei was not in good spirits, and when they arrived at Dexifu Palace, it was Concubine De and Mrs. Minli who greeted Concubine De and Mrs. Minli in the palace. Not allergic to Mrs. Leigh to the end of sex. Zi is quiet, almost all of them are busy with Concubine De, only when Concubine De can't take care of it, she goes over to help, and she looks honest and kind.
Su Ruhui and Danzhu had already cleaned up their faces at this time, and after entering the palace, they asked the concubines for peace, because Su Ruhui had been to Xifu Palace a few times before, and there was a willingness, so Nianmeng came to deal with it in person, and Su Ruhui was surprised: "Why is my aunt here?" What about the concubine's side? ”
These words with the surprise on her face all show that Su Ruhui cares about the concubine and affirms Nianmeng's status in Xifu Palace, Nianmeng suddenly smiled and said: "What Miss Su said, how dare you be a slave?" The next sentence is the answer, "Mrs. Xuanguo and Xiansheng Junjun came over with the little son, and they are talking to Niangniang in the inner room, can the young lady and the county lord go over together?" ”
"Thank you, auntie, it's just that Mrs. Xuanguo is rare to see Niangniang once, Xiansheng Junjun seems to be the first time to enter the palace, and there is a little boy here, it is the time for Niangniang to enjoy her family, how can we bother?" Su Ruhui chuckled.
Nian Meng said with a smile: "Mrs. Xuanguo and Xiansheng Junjun arrived at the palace gate just after opening, and they have already spoken, this will be accompanying the lady to tease the little son, the county lord and the young lady came early, and now the people have not yet arrived, and the other young ladies are not there, sitting here is strangely lonely, and the spirit of the mother is good today, why don't the county lord and the young lady also go over to talk and laugh?" Just help the slaves and maids to make the mother happy. ”
"In that case, then please ask your aunt to lead the way, Danzhu hasn't been to the concubine's inner room yet." Seeing this, Danzhu opened his mouth to agree, Su Ruhui's lips and teeth were about to move, a trace of sorrow passed between his eyebrows, and then he followed silently.
Huo Guifei's inner room, Su Ruhui has come in, Changtai loves Guifei very much, the dormitory of Xifu Palace is naturally the best, about the fear of being pregnant and frozen, at this time the dormitory has already burned the earth dragon, Su Ruhui and Danzhu each untied the fox fur and handed it to the little palace maid at the door before entering.
But I felt a warm breeze on my face, as if spring had suddenly arrived. Under the agarwood pane, there is an ebony low couch, and the couch is covered with a thick fur coat, although Huo Guifei is her birthday today, she is only wearing a simple light blue palace dress, her skin is like clotted fat, and her long black hair is tied in a simple style of Dai Tan hairpin.
The concubine's pregnancy has been revealed, so although the palace is as warm as spring, she is still covered with a thin quilt, and she subconsciously protects her one hand in front of her from time to time. On the cushions behind the couch, two twelve or thirteen-year-old little palace maids knelt with satin-wrapped beauty hammers and gently hammered her legs.
There were three or four embroidered stools under the couch, and there were already two people sitting down, Mrs. Xuanguo was seen by Su Ruhui and Danzhu, and the other young lady wearing the Junjun dress must be Xiansheng Junjun Deng. At this moment, the three of them, including the palace maids who were waiting around, all focused their eyes on the couch.
It was a boy of about six or seven years of age, born with red lips and white teeth, and was very endearing, especially with a pair of bright eyes, and obviously a good body. The boy was dressed in a red robe, and the calamus and grapes that symbolized the prosperity of the descendants were embroidered with gold threads, and a little cinnabar was dotted on the center of his eyebrows, which set off his fair skin and dark eyebrows and pupils, he leaned against Huo Guifei's side, but he was not afraid, he held a pomegranate given to him by the concubine in his hand and touched it, and raised his head from time to time to say a few words to the concubine, and occasionally smiled sweetly, looking very cute.
Huo Guifei looked at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were gentle, like spring water, so that everyone who saw it couldn't help but relax.
Su Ruhui and Danzhu had long heard Nianmeng mention the little son, and when they saw this boy, they knew that it should be Huo Hui, the only grandson of the Huo family and the only grandson of the Huo family.
Seeing Su Ruhui and Danzhu come in to salute the concubine, Mrs. Xuanguo and Xiansheng Junjun hurriedly stood up and avoided it, because Mrs. Xuanguo was a good order, so after Huo Guifei said that she was exempted, Su Ruhui and Danzhu owed Mrs. Xuanguo again, Mrs. Xuanguo would enter the palace every New Year's Day, and her daughter was a concubine, so she was clear about the situation in the palace, and she didn't dare to slack off on both of them, and said with a smile: "The county lord and the young lady are old and old!" ”
"Where's Madame?" The two smiled politely, but they were a little embarrassed to see Xiansheng Junjun, in fact, Huo Changqing has resigned since the death of the county lord of Kangyue, and according to the system, the county monarch is the wife and mother of the four-grade official before he can be canonized, Huo Changqing was a serious four-grade real job before he resigned, but he did not have this qualification.
The canonization of Xiansheng Junjun, speaking of which, is still the Taishi for his daughter-in-law, that is, after Huo Hui was born, the Taishi privately asked to see the Queen Mother, Dao Deng's background is not high, and he is a concubine, and he has no half-brother, and the Taishi has only Huo Changqing's son under his knees, worried that he is old, and after a hundred years, his grandson has neither ancestral shade nor foreign support, and he will suffer a loss in the imperial capital of dignitaries in the future, so he asked for a county monarch's title for his daughter-in-law. In this way, the Deng family is also valued and encircled in his mother's family, even if the Taishi dies in the future, Huo Changqing still does not enter the official career, Huo Hui has a serious mother, and he can always get some shelter.
Huo De has been a country all his life, even if his daughter is a concubine and has won the emperor's favor, but he has never been favoritism, and even for Changtai's special favor of the concubine, he has been admonished many times, so many years of opening his mouth for the first time, although there are examples of the seal, but the Huo family and the royal family are not lacking in those, but it is the queen mother's decree, and the word Xiansheng was specially chosen as the nickname, but although the prince of Xiansheng is the queen mother's personal decree, it is extremely low-key, Huo Hui is now seven years old, Su Ruhui still sees her enter the palace for the first time.
Among the two, although Su Ruhui's background is high, he has no grade or rank, Danzhu is a serious county lord of a country, and the county lord of the princess of the vassal king is different from the county lord canonized by a concubine like Rou Shu, but it is a positive second grade, and the county lord registered by the concubine, although it is called the same, it is one level lower. Therefore, Danzhu saluted Mrs. Xuanguo, Mrs. Xuanguo was acceptable, but when she arrived at Xiansheng Junjun, it was Su Ruhui who saluted to the Junjun, and the Junjun asked the county lord to say goodbye.
After a busy half of the ceremony, he heard a crisp and loud children's voice: "Huo Hui wishes the county lord peace!" But I saw the boy in red raising his hands in a serious manner, waving in front of him, bending down, and looking at Danzhu with a hint of curiosity in his big black eyes.
Danzhu used to have a good relationship with Gan Pei, when the latter was young, although Danzhu couldn't grow a few years old, he often coaxed him, and at this moment he saw that Huo Hui liked it very much, and couldn't help but untie a piece of purple jade on his body to give him a greeting gift. Huo Hui was not timid at all, and he didn't need Mrs. Xuanguo and Xiansheng Junjun to mention it, so he took it generously, thanked him smartly, and saluted Su Ruhua again.
Su Ruhui liked him to be generous and decent, very gentlemanly, pursed his lips and smiled, returned half a salute, and saw that he was dressed as a girl, and had to learn from Danzhu to untie the jade pendant with him. This time, Huo Hui took it, thanked him halfway, but sighed and held it up in front of Mrs. Xuanguo: "Grandmother, this ......"
Su Ruhua's jade pendant with clothes is a piece of topaz the size of a baby's palm, engraved with landscapes, and the craftsmen are ingenious, with a few traces of variegation, all of which are used in the landscape, but they are natural. Although Huo Hui was young, he knew that yellow was the color of the royal family at this time, and topaz had the theory of emperor stone, so he didn't simply follow it like purple jade.
Seeing this scene, the people in the dormitory praised this child for being young but cautious, and without waiting for Mrs. Xuanguo to speak, Su Ruhui smiled first: "Little boy, don't worry, this jade is not the essence of God, but it is a golden jade, you can accept it." ”
Dayong's best topaz is produced in Wuzhou, topaz is also known as chalcedony, among which the highest quality is called the imperial pith, which means that it is as precious as the emperor, and because the imperial pith is scarce, once produced, it is a tribute to the royal family. Under the pith of the emperor is the phase pith, and then there is Jin Manyu, this piece of topaz is good in other places, that is, the three variegated colors, which were regarded as clouds and treetops by craftsmen respectively, but they were assessed as Jin Manyu when they were in the original stone, but there is really nothing to taboo, otherwise Su Ruhui would not wear it out even though she is a woman.
Huo Hui thanked him seriously, the pomegranate that Huo Guifei gave him just now was put aside by him when he saluted, and at this moment he took the purple jade into his arms, grabbed the pomegranate with one hand, and shrunk it in his sleeve with the other hand, obviously touching this topaz, he liked it very much.
Dan Zhu has always been gentle, and he will not blame or make fun of him for this, but it was Xiansheng Junjun who glared at him secretly, and Huo Hui hurriedly stuck out his tongue, and then took Topaz into his arms.
Huo Guifei asked Su Ruhui and Danzhu to sit down, and said with a smile: "You two children came early!" Why don't you sleep more on this cold day? ”
"Today is a good day for the concubine, why are the courtiers so embarrassed to be late?" Su Ruhui pursed her lips and smiled.
Dan Zhu said: "Just now Aunt Nianmeng said that the concubine Niangniang is looking good today, Danzhu looks at it as expected, Niangniang will not apply fat powder, but it looks radiant." ”
"Mother and sister-in-law, listen to it, it was trained by the Queen Mother's side, and this little mouth is sweeter than the other." Huo Guifei said with a smile, "This palace doesn't dare to mention an old word in front of my mother, it can be seen that you are like delicate flowers at your age, and you can't help but feel that Shaohua is gone, and you still come to coax this palace to be radiant!" ”
Su Ruhua said seriously: "If the concubine doesn't believe it, why don't you ask someone to take a mirror to take a look, and you won't think that the courtiers and the county lord are lying!" ”
"You kid!" The concubine said lightly, "Bengong knows what to do, but I like to play with you since I was a child, and the co-author is an ordinary flamboyant tongue, and I will make fun of Bengong!" ”
Danzhu's smile suddenly froze, and a trace of astonishment flashed on Mrs. Xuanguo's face, only Xiansheng Junjun reacted the fastest, took a big red orange from the fruit bowl next to him and peeled it, and the eyes that looked at the orange intently covered her emotions very well.
Su Ruhui took a sip of tea slowly.
