062. What should be enjoyed and what should be carried
As soon as the chief manager entered the door, he respectfully greeted the Queen Mother and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, the Emperor has made an order, and I will not teach the girls of all families to go out of the Nanxun Hall today." ”
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sink her face and said, "You can't even be summoned by the mourning family?" ”
"The emperor said that please forgive the Queen Mother." The chief manager kowtowed respectfully, only said this sentence, and did not explain to the queen mother.
The Queen Mother hummed please, didn't embarrass the head of the house, and let him go.
When she turned her head to look at Mrs. Fengguo, the Queen Mother's face was a little unpleasant, "That girl is in the palace, what are you worried about!" In the end, there is still a mourning family. ”
Mrs. Fengguo hung her head, and said to the Queen Mother who was neither humble nor arrogant: "I knew that today, the slave maid should not have led these two children out of the Shen family and brought them back to the capital. ”
Her tone was very calm, but the implication was that she had already married Qingrong, and Runrong was regarded as a pawn for Princess Yongping, revealing deep helplessness and dissatisfaction.
The Queen Mother was also very apologetic, and comforted her in a loud voice: "How can this be, the two of them are also their blessing to follow you." ”
Mrs. Fengguo smiled bitterly and said: "Is it a blessing, the slave maid has the most in her heart." After that, she and Qingrong retreated.
Mrs. Fengguo has been by the side of the Queen Mother and the Emperor for many years, and she has always been well-behaved and duty-bound, and she has never been proud of her achievements because she has great kindness to their mother and son. She didn't even ask for a single request, it was a reward and honor, and she only accepted it calmly.
She seemed to complain in front of her for the first time, and the Queen Mother didn't feel good in her heart, and she felt that she couldn't stand Mrs. Fengguo.
Coming out of the Queen Mother, Mrs. Fengguo asked Qingrong expressionlessly: "Do you think that I am too cold and ruthless to you two sisters?" ”
"Grandmother is very kind to us," Qingrong replied very seriously, "although I have very few days of joy under your knees, and you are mostly unsmiling at us on weekdays, we both know in our hearts that you are really good to us." ”
Mrs. Fengguo smiled faintly and asked Qingrong: "You married you into the Wei Mansion so hastily, don't you complain about me in your heart?" ”
Qingrong naturally held Mrs. Fengguo's hand and said, "What do you complain about, where did you marry me to the Duke of Wei State in a hurry?" There are so many dowries, and people in the capital say that it is probably unprecedented. ”
Mrs. Fengguo was a little comforted by Qingrong's words, and her heart was warm, she patted Qingrong's hand and said, "Girl, don't worry, it's too late to regret your matter, and the Duke of Wei is still under our noses." Grandmother will never let Runrong go to southern Xinjiang, she has not enjoyed the glory of the princess, there is no reason for her to bear the responsibility of the princess, this is not right. ”
Qingrong was sour by these words, and nodded again and again.
Mrs. Fengguo said: "You can only go back to the Song family and wait in peace, your grandmother and I are not old and are dying." ”
Qingrong had a backbone at this moment, and for the first time, she deeply felt that she was not alone.
I have a bottom in my heart, although the matter is still a little urgent.
But Qingrong is not like an ant on a hot pot, and he is in a hurry.
She was separated from Mrs. Fengguo, and still had to go back to the middle palace to go out of the palace with Mrs. Jiang and the third lady.
As soon as he came out of the Baohua Gate, Qingrong saw the six princes coming over from a distance. He walked in a hurry, looking left and right, very vague and sneaky.
Qingrong stood still in the Baohua Gate and saluted the six princes. When the others got closer, Qingrong actually saw Princess Yongping among the palace maids who followed the six princes.
Obviously, the six princes wanted to escape with Princess Yongping and directly let these girls in the palace be her replacement.
The six princes lazily waved their hands at Qingrong, and their hearts were tied to Princess Yongping's body, just wanting to take people out of the palace quietly according to the instructions of the emperor and Li Guifei.
Although Qingrong scoffed at this move, she understood very well that at this juncture, she couldn't make more trouble, just indifferently watching the departing Princess Yongping.
The eyes of the two people collided, and Princess Yongping actually saw contempt in her clear eyes. This look of contempt, like a burning red soldering iron, instantly burned Princess Yongping's self-esteem. She was born noble, how could anyone dare to look at her with such eyes.
This made Princess Yongping, who had already walked out, stop halfway, turn around and turn back.
The sixth prince hadn't noticed that Princess Yongping was wrong, and had already walked out of the Baohua Gate quickly.
Although Princess Yongping was dressed as a palace maid, she was still arrogant, her black pupils stared at Qingrong, and her eyes were full of hatred.
"Shen Qingrong, why are you here?" She said, as if she remembered something, and smiled faintly, "Oh, by the way, you probably entered the palace because of your sister, right?" Shen Runrong is also in the palace. ”
Qingrong lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a manly voice: "My husband's aunt is the queen of the palace, and I have recently been a celebrity in front of the queen mother, so it is not strange that I appeared in the palace." However, at this moment, the princess is really intriguing to dress up here, right? ”
Princess Yongping didn't feel guilty or weak-hearted, and said arrogantly: "What is intriguing, I can wear whatever I want, and I will be where I am happy......"
Qingrong smiled lightly, "I don't know how the princess will feel when she lets the envoys of southern Xinjiang see her like this today." ”
"Shen Qingrong, you'd better be smart," the sixth prince stepped forward at the right time, blocked Princess Yongping, and said, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, so that you can live for a long time." ”
Qingrong's sleek eyes stared back and forth at the Sixth Prince and Princess Yongping, "Sixth Highness, to be honest, I don't really want to see you and the princess here, but if you meet, you will meet, and I really have nothing to do." Now that you and the princess are leaving, you can go boldly with confidence. Congratulations to the two Highnesses. ”
The Sixth Highness knew that Qingrong was a person who could speak well, and he didn't want to say anything more to Qingrong, so he turned his head and pulled Princess Yongping to leave first.
Princess Yongping remained immobile and reminded the six princes: "This matter has now been bumped into by Shen Qingrong, and it can't be just settled." Gouge out her eyes and cut out her tongue to be foolproof. ”
Qingrong didn't understand what kind of wind Princess Yongping had to make extraneous branches. She didn't believe that Princess Yongping and the Six Princes dared to do this.
Not to mention that this Baohua Gate is not far from the Middle Palace, and it is the place where the most people come and go to the palace. Speaking of the current trick alone, even if Princess Yongping is not afraid, the six princes are obviously afraid of causing something bad.
Qingrong is not a little palace maid, let them take it away. I'm afraid that as soon as someone was tied up here, the news over there had already entered the Middle Palace.
Even if the queen is aggrieved, she will never be slapped in the face by Concubine Li like this. What's more, she now has a Mrs. Fengguo behind her.
Sure enough, the sixth prince turned his head to look at Princess Yongping and said, "Imperial sister, don't make any more trouble at this time." I believe that Mrs. Song can tell which is more important in this matter. After all, it's a big deal, and it's not good for anyone. The sixth prince looked at Qingrong meaningfully, and said half-threateningly: "Shen Runrong is still in Nanxun Palace. ”
Princess Yongping looked at Qingrong murderously, and had already recorded all the resentment against Nanzhao and his relatives on Shen Qingrong's head.
She pushed away the six princes, took two steps forward to Qingrong's side, and said coldly in her ear: "I regret a little that I let my father give you a marriage to Song Zhao." If you know that there is still a matter of harmony in Southern Xinjiang, I will definitely ask my father to leave you in Southern Xinjiang. But it doesn't matter right now, there is still Shen Runrong. ”
When Qingrong heard this, a wave of anger rushed up from the bottom of his heart.
But she could only endure it, afraid that if she angered Princess Yongping at this time, she would push Runrong into a more dangerous situation. Even if Mrs. Fengguo was behind her, she didn't dare to give birth to more variables.
Seeing that Qingrong was silent, Princess Yongping covered her lips and chuckled sarcastically, and said, "Shen Qingrong, I said that crushing you to death is like crushing an ant." I am a princess, the biological daughter of my father, I can do whatever I want, I don't want to marry in southern Xinjiang, you people must come and be my substitute. ”
Qingrong humbly lowered his head and said, "Yes, what you said is true." You are the princess of a country, you are supported by the people of the whole Liang, and you are supremely honored. But haven't you given up that identity now? From the moment you step out of this door, your connection with this palace will be severed. From now on, there will be another woman, a woman who has never enjoyed all the glory of a princess, but who has to bear the duties of a princess, who will continue to be this princess for you. ”
Princess Yongping was shocked by what she said, and she couldn't come back to her senses.
Qingrong took the opportunity to retire and hurriedly fled.
When she returned to the middle palace, the queen talked to Mrs. Jiang in private, and the palace maid who was guarding outside the palace sent Qingrong to the third lady.
Qingrong met Song Ai who had returned from Xiao Xie under the corridor outside the courtyard, and the two went to the side hall together. As soon as they reached the window of the cloister, the two of them heard the voice of the third lady from inside.
"Queen of Southern Xinjiang, what kind of identity is that? You can't climb such a high branch in this life. ”
Song Ling said reluctantly: "Then I don't want to go to southern Xinjiang, my aunt has already taken us out, why does my mother let me go further?" Besides, even if I really went for Princess Yongping, Princess Yongping married to Southern Xinjiang, so what does it have to do with our family? ”
The third lady said: "Where do you understand, the queen mother is just a swollen face and a fat person." If you volunteer to help Concubine Li this time, she will also be able to receive our love, and it will be beneficial to your father. ”
Li Guifei's benefits to the third room, in addition to the Duke of the Inheritance Country, Qingrong couldn't think of any other benefits.
Song Ai looked at Qingrong in a daze, his expression a little overwhelmed.
In Qingrong's opinion, the third lady has always been a cautious and calm person. But now that she is still in the palace, she is not afraid that the wall has ears, and she has said so much to Song Ling, obviously she is really urgent, afraid of missing the opportunity.
Qingrong beckoned to Song Ai, and the two quietly came out from under the porch and turned around to go to the Middle Palace Garden.
Now that she has the opportunity to be alone with Song Ai, Qingrong naturally wants to ask her carefully about the ins and outs of Nanxun Palace.
