Chapter 213: Garland
Here the princess and Chen Meiren are talking about the queen and the princess, but they don't know that the mother and daughter are also talking about the two of them.
Liu Yan asked in a low voice: "How did the queen mother think of going shopping with them today?" Why don't you call me along? ”
Empress Cao smiled: "The weather is sunny today, the two of them went to Yilan Hall to say goodbye, just when I wanted to go out for a walk, they followed." ”
Letting them come with them is not to torment them, let alone to show off to others how majestic the queen is. On the contrary, Queen Cao let them follow, which was very decent and elevated them.
Everyone knows that Chen Meiren and Wang Concubine have been unfavored for many years, even if Queen Cao treats them very generously, there is no guarantee that there are no people who want to take advantage of loopholes and do tricks from them. They say that they are concubines, but they have neither favor, nor power, nor their mother's family to rely on, if someone deceives and tramples on and oppresses them, Queen Cao will not be able to understand everything.
Let them accompany them to visit the garden, firstly, because it has indeed rained for several days and want to come out to relax, and secondly, it is also to let others see, Wang Concubine and Chen Meiren are not pitiful that no one cares about.
This is Empress Cao taking the initiative to let them take advantage of the situation.
Isn't there a saying called fox and fake tiger? Empress Cao hoped that if she really had the power of the tiger, she would be able to deter some people and give them more shelter.
Empress Cao asked, "Did Wen'er and Qi'er go well in class today?" ”
"It's going well." Liu Yan said: "I like the literacy picture album given by Mr. Cheng very much. ”
"Where's the tattoo?"
Speaking of her, Liu Yan's expression was a little strange.
"This kid is a little too motivated."
Being motivated is not a bad thing, and who says only men are self-motivated? It's not a bad thing that the girl's family is more studious.
Empress Cao understood.
She also discovered that after her mother was gone, Liu Wen seemed to be in a hurry to grow up, she was not only a sister to Liu Qi, it seemed that she was also anxious to carry her mother's responsibilities to herself, urging herself and her younger brother to grow up faster and faster.
Empress Cao only hoped that she would live in the palace for a long time, and that the urgency and anger on her body would gradually dissipate. The Shang Palace, who was assigned to their sisters and brothers, and the people who served around them, were also carefully selected.
But in the end, whether the goal can be achieved, Queen Cao is not sure.
Raising children is sometimes not as good as farming, which is much simpler. After sowing seeds, plowing carefully, watering water and fertilizing and catching insects are not sloppy, there will always be a harvest in autumn. Even if there may be some natural and man-made disasters, after all, it can be seen and touched, and you can find a way to resist and make up for it.
What about raising children? Give food and clothing, ask for warmth, and ask Mr. to teach Wen and Wu...... In the end, the child grew into a very strange and unexpected appearance, and it is possible that it is 108,000 miles away from the original expectation.
So after more than one disappointment, Empress Cao also saw it.
People always place great expectations, if not all expectations, on their children and grandchildren. But the child is not an object, and there is no control over what he will grow into in the end. So a lot of times the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Empress Cao can only try her best and do her best, but she doesn't expect to get the result she wants in the end.
Liu Yan smiled so brightly that he folded the tender wicker, inserted all kinds of flowers on it, and made a big wreath, which had to be worn by Queen Cao.
Chen Meiren and the two of them watched from the side, watching Queen Cao laugh and shake their heads again and again.
As soon as Wang Concubine was about to speak, Chen Meiren stepped on the instep of her foot, and the words that came to her mouth interrupted her.
You don't have to listen to Chen Meiren to guess what the princess wants to say.
It's nothing more than "princess don't play around" or "princess should pay attention to the rules".
This person is really, he can't learn to say nice things, at least he can shut up and say nothing.
How happy are the queen and the princess now? People are mothers and daughters, what's wrong with joking? Do you need outsiders to talk nonsense?
Anyway, Chen Meiren went to the queen to say goodbye many times, and although the queen was always very kind, she had never smiled so happily at her.
But...... Although the queen has been pampered and well-maintained over the years, she is not forgiving in the end.
Chen Meiren sighed.
The first time she saw the queen's mother, did the mother have thirty? At that time, life was not as comfortable as it is now, sleeping in the open air in the army, being homeless, often having to wash and cook by themselves, take care of wounded soldiers, and a group of half-grown children, who really endured all kinds of hardships. Life has been better these years, and there are more and more things to worry about. Although she doesn't look very old, it is really difficult for the mother to laugh as carefree as before.
In the end, Empress Cao was "forced" to wear the garland of the editor-in-chief of the four princes on her head, and the people waiting on the side were all casual, as if they hadn't seen anything.
If it weren't for the fear that the queen would be embarrassed, Chen Meiren really wanted to praise the fourth princess.
How good this wreath is braided, and the flowers on it are even more ingenious, red, yellow, purple, and pink...... But all the colors in the royal garden are inserted.
The queen mother is wearing the spring color on her head, how beautiful it is.
After shopping for more than half an hour, seeing that Queen Cao was a little tired, Chen Meiren and Wang Concubine retired with interest.
The two of them live not far away, Queen Cao's original intention is to make it convenient for the two of them to talk and communicate with each other, and to be companions, but the two of them really can't get along.
The princess was full of anger at this moment: "Chen Meiren, how dare you be so bold and rude? ”
In terms of rank, she is above Chen Meiren, Chen Meiren actually dared to step on her feet just now! Isn't this called the following offense?
Chen Meiren glanced at her and replied idly: "Ah, I didn't pay attention just now, and I didn't break your toes, what's the big deal." ”
Wang Concubine was so angry that she trembled: "You are still quibbling!" You're obviously intentional! ”
Chen Meiren really didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Even if she stepped on her just now, how much would it weigh? It doesn't hurt or itch, but as for holding on?
Besides, stepping on that foot is obviously for her good, if she doesn't interrupt her, the princess's mouth will be ruined as soon as she opens her mouth, the atmosphere just now is good, and there are no outsiders, she has to open her mouth to sing the opposite, does she think this can make the queen look at her differently?
"Okay, I'm just mindful, then you go to my mother and sue me. When the time comes, I will compensate you as much as I ask me, are you satisfied? ”
After Chen Meiren said this, she greeted her palace maid: "Let's go, I'm tired after shopping for a long time, hurry back, and let someone give me a bowl of sweet soup with red beans and wolfberries to moisten my throat." ”
Chen Meiren took the palace maid away, but the princess was so angry that she wiped her tears, but she didn't have a problem.
