Reunion of the Old (VI) (Part II)

However, the left and right did not come, and when I inquired, I was still there with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has never met her relatives for so long. In the past few years, Chen Mural has been annoyed by those social annoyances, She is not an old lady who has nothing to do, she has a lot of things to do every day, and she has to practice internal skills and practice her fists and feet when she has time, or read her favorite books, and she is very impatient to listen to the flattery and gossip of those mothers-in-law. They all sent people away in a quarter of an hour or two, and those old ladies and women of her generation sometimes said that the queen mother had not allowed her to shave her eyebrows for decades, and she did things neatly, and she was not like ordinary old ladies who had nothing to do, and always wanted people to chat. She was afraid that people would quarrel with her quietness. What's going on today? The queen had to wonder, was it to save face for the Tang family? She has prepared someone here to step on the orphan girl, and the Queen Mother wants to give her a horse? Only allow the Tang family to give the Lan family no face, and she can't get back face?

After waiting for an hour, I saw that the person who inquired about the movement came back, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had gone to the Queen Mother to discuss matters after going down to the court, and he had kept it for tea. The queen's face was even more ugly. His son has always gone to the queen mother to discuss major matters in the court, and he never thought of asking her for the opinion of the queen mother. Originally, she was very happy, and felt that Yiyi was sensible, and being close to the Queen Mother created an opportunity for him to become a big position. But now, he is already the crown prince of the prison country, but he is still like this, and there is no movement to join forces with her to support the throne of his grandfather's family. If there is a big event, I still run to the Queen Mother. The queen felt that the prince really liked to discuss with the queen mother. At the same time, he was even more disgusted with the Chen family and the Tang Sect. She never thought about whether she and the Lan family had that ability, but she just felt that the status that the Chen family and the Tang family could have, and the Lan family should also have it.

Concubine Yan felt the queen's irritability, and she was still a little happy in her heart. The queen has always disliked her. Originally, when the queen mother gave herself to the prince, the queen mother originally wanted her to be the same as the prince's original rooms, just to be a maid in the house, even if the prince can ascend to the ninth five, these maids can be a nine-grade maid. Later, it was the prince who said that she was given by the queen mother, and she must be given the title of a beauty, which is said to have provoked the queen mother to throw the cup. Later, it was because of his stomach and two children in a row that he had the opportunity to be promoted to a side concubine step by step. She admitted that her father and brother were all small sesame officials and could not help the prince in major matters, but the queen often put on a face for her, and also borrowed Concubine Liu and several other women to give her face. Today they originally came to help the queen mother slap an orphan girl in the face, but the queen mother seemed to like that person very much, and she has stayed until now. It seems that she will see the opportunity for a moment. In the eyes of outsiders, she Yan Concubine is the queen mother's person, but she can't be happy for the queen and let the queen mother lose face.

Concubine Yu glanced at the hourglass, she had already tried her best to maintain the topic with the queen mother just now. The women of the Prince's Mansion and the Queen Mother do not have much in common except for the Prince's food, clothing, housing and transportation. For more than an hour, I basically said everything I could. Even the recent hot nonsense of the major mansions in Beijing has been said a lot. It looks like she's going to be cold, but she's done her best to let the other women bother. Without speaking, she counted the time. It takes at least a quarter of an hour to walk here from the Empress Dowager's Palace. The person who came to report the news saw the prince go to the queen mother a quarter of an hour ago, and no one else has come to report the new developments, which means that the prince has been in the queen mother's palace for at least a quarter of an hour, and the cousin of the Bai family has not yet come out. This is rare, and most of this situation is avoided by outsiders, and the prince and the queen mother talk. And the best way to avoid it is to come to the queen to finish today's audience and then leave the palace. If not, what is the situation? The prince does not need to avoid the matter of discussing with the Queen Mother, or is this Miss Cousin or in other words, Tang Xinjie has won the trust of the Queen Mother and the Prince, and he does not avoid his fiancée when there is something to discuss? She glanced at Concubine Yan, who was sitting there a little dull, no matter from what angle, she couldn't see why the prince wanted to pamper this as a background, almost not a woman who was only a little smart, good looking but very average. Since she got married, although she has only been pampered by Yiyi a few times, the things that her mother invited for her to teach her are still very useful, and she has figured out Yiyi's preferences in this kind of thing a few times, and she is by no means a dry and plain woman like Concubine Yan. Is it really as the legend outside, the prince misses the old and cherishes the people who have a childhood sweetheart relationship with him?

While thinking about it, Concubine Yu heard that Luo Meiren was offering treasures to the queen there. It was her brother who bought jasmine powder for her from outside the palace. This is the time of spring itching, and it is said that this jasmine powder can not only relieve itching, but also be very delicate, and can replace ordinary base powder. Not only is it sweet and delicate, it can relieve itching, but it also nourishes the skin and makes it look very watery. The queen is nearly middle-aged, although the emperor rarely recruits her, but there is no woman who does not love beauty. I immediately took jasmine powder to try it, and the effect was wonderful. Concubine Yu glanced at the porcelain jar, which was a little familiar, It seems that when her mother came to the palace to see her the day before yesterday, she also brought her a jar. At that time, she didn't care, she always felt that the things in the palace and the prince's mansion must be much stronger than those bought outside, and her mother was a little too much. At this time, seeing Luo Meiren and the queen trying there, several other women were also watching curiously, so they decided to go back and try it themselves. It's just that she suddenly remembered that her mother seemed to say that this powder was bought from Yuehuaxuan to honor her father, and her father took it back and asked her mother to bring it into the palace. This world is so wonderful, how can even fat powder have something to do with the Tang family.

Almost two hours after entering the palace, the queen mother finally met the legendary third young grandmother of the Tang family. It's just not in his own palace, but the Queen Mother's Chunhui Palace. When Yiyi arrived at Chunhui Palace, Chen Mural naturally understood his grandson's thoughts, but Ning'er was already a wife, so how could he let this matter go. So the queen mother let people pass on Xinjie to the palace, and invited the queen to have lunch together. And the women in the prince's mansion were sent back. The queen worked hard for a long time, and after watching the daughters-in-law who were unsatisfactory all morning, she didn't gain half a point, but just added a blockage to herself.

As soon as she entered Chunhui Palace, the queen was originally stupid, and she had to cater to the queen mother with a smile. I saw that the woman next to her was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. After all, time flies, and the female official Zhou's Wanning has disappeared for nearly five years, and the young girl who has never been in time has become a mature and beautiful woman. In all fairness, when the queen saw her for the first time, she thought she was the daughter of the big family in the court, but she didn't expect that it was the cousin of the broken Bai family, let alone that she was the old man in this Chunhui Palace.

When she knew that this was the female official of Zhou back then, the queen felt even more panicked. Back then, for the sake of this woman, his son and the emperor's eldest son Yixiang had a big fight, and they were almost punished by the emperor. After this woman disappeared, he was even more unprofessional, looking for him from heaven to earth, forgetting his goal, forgetting the expectations of his mother and the Lan family. Now this woman not only appeared in a grand manner, but also became the fiancée of Yi'er's most important subordinate. She is too ignorant of lifting, how can her righteous son deal with herself? However, the queen, who has been gentle and courteous for many years, has to hide all the unhappiness in her heart and show her motherly side. With tears streaming down her face, she took Zhou Wanning's hand and cried, thanking her for how she helped the prince back then, telling how the prince and her were anxious after her disappearance, and how she often offered incense and prayed to God to bless her over the years.

Wan Ning reluctantly secretly looked at her husband and the queen mother, and everyone knew it. The Queen Mother smiled slightly, This child, although she grew up with her in the palace, she didn't like these hypocritical pretenses since she was a child, maybe let her marry Xinjie and live a comfortable life, which is much better than in the palace. In this way, she is worthy of her sister Jingchun and brother Mu Nan.

In the morning, Lian'er entered the palace and did not return for a long time, which once made Xinjie very worried, although he was later summoned by the Queen Mother, but after all, the will of heaven is unpredictable. Xinjie now knows another reason why his grandmother acquiesced to him and Lian'er, if he hadn't completely owned her, maybe he wouldn't be able to keep her by his side now. Even if the Queen Mother announced that she would enter the palace as a companion for a long time, he had no way to refuse. The moment he walked out of the palace gate with her, he rushed over and quickly picked her up on his horse, and hurried home with her. Yiyi in the Chongyang Gate looked at them from afar, full of loss.

Seeing her husband so nervous and eager, Lian'er was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I was waiting for my lady to wait in a hurry?" He hugged her tightly and kissed her in a bun.

Lian'er actually understood him: "Worried you? ”

He didn't speak, just hugged her tighter.

Outside the Chongyang Gate, several pairs of eyes saw the pair of beautiful people's ears and temples on the horses. In the morning, the future third young grandmother of the Tang Sect came by car in the palace. At this moment, Sanshao said that he didn't need to set a car, and rode a horse with a beautiful woman, the spring breeze blew the veil, revealing a delicate face, and everyone who knew Ning'er was surprised, and then said no wonder. No wonder the Queen Mother made an exception to keep her in Chunhui Palace for a morning, and also summoned the Crown Prince and Empress to come over for lunch together. This is by no means just an honor for the three young men of the Tang family. In other words, the third major general of the Tang family was more favored by the Queen Mother because of this woman. People who don't know the affairs of Pingluan Pavilion just guess that this master is no longer just a staff member of the Prince's Mansion. And the person who was staring at Pingluan Pavilion with his eyes on it seemed to confirm the previous speculation even more at this moment, this lord is likely to be the current head of Pingluan Pavilion. It is no wonder that with this relationship, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince are more assured to hand over Pingluan Pavilion to him. It's just that I don't know where the emperor will be suspicious.

Of course, there are also people who are pleasantly surprised, the third child of the Tang family is a difficult character, and this woman will undoubtedly become the weakness of the upstart in front of this prince. Maybe it will become a tripartite to contain the crown prince, the emperor and the Tang family...
