Chapter 266: Treacherous Waves
In any case, the matter between Zhao Yuning and Xie Tianrui is already in the past, and it has nothing to do with the present. Tang Yining is not a person who likes it, let alone a person who will hold on to what happened in the past. After all, the past can't be traced.
And what about Zhao Yuning? She didn't think so. If you ask Zhao Yuning who she hates, then she will definitely say that if the first one she hates is Tang Jingwen, then the second must be Tang Yining.
It is very understandable to hate Tang Jingwen, Tang Jingwen made Zhao Yuning lose face before the wedding, and became the laughing stock of the entire capital, and therefore became a topic of conversation for many people after dinner. In addition, after the wedding, this person who made her lose face was still her father-in-law's concubine, and he was an eyesore in front of her every day.
Don't say anything else, just Tang Jingwen's daily morning wake-up, and the people around him give Tang Jingwen an honorific title every day. are reminding Zhao Yuning how much face she has lost because of Tang Jingwen.
And Tang Yining was really angry with Zhao Yuning, she thought that if it wasn't for Tang Yining's sudden appearance and being given to Xie Tianrui, the king of Xiaojun, then how could she marry the third prince Xie Zhengyu? Before Tang Yining appeared, everything was fine.
If it weren't for Tang Yining's appearance, maybe it would not be her Tang Yining who is now married to Xiaojun King Xie Tianrui, but her Zhao Yuning.
No matter what Zhao Yuning and Tang Yining thought in their hearts, on the surface, the two just met their eyes, and then they staggered by, without even exchanging a word.
Zhao Yuning had already met the Queen Mother, so the direction she walked was different from Tang Yining, she found a place to sit down, because she had lost so much face before, and she didn't go to find her close friends in the past. Just sit in your place and quietly wait for the tea party to begin.
And after Tang Yining left by mistake, he went towards the Queen Mother. She had just entered the palace, so naturally she wanted to see the Queen Mother as soon as possible.
"Yining has seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!" As he spoke, Tang Yining made a big salute to the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she said: "Yining, you are here, what have you been delayed by?" How did you come so late? If you are too late, the mourners will have to send someone to find you. ”
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Yining didn't respond to what the Queen Mother said, so she dressed up, so she delayed for some time. It is really Yining's fault to make the Queen Mother worried, and she also asked the Queen Mother to punish her. With that, Tang Yining knelt down.
The Queen Mother only noticed at this time that Tang Yining's dress today was really different from the past. If it weren't for the fact that her attention wasn't on her clothes, she would have been attracted by Tang Yining's outfit at a glance.
"That's good, okay, let's get up. The mourners didn't mean to blame you, they just asked. ”
"Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager." As he spoke, Tang Yining was supported by Xiao Cui on the side, stood up with Xiao Cui's strength, and then walked to the Queen Mother's side.
The grandmother beside the Queen Mother reminded in a low voice: "Queen Mother, it's time to start the banquet." ”
Tang Yining suddenly, too. She had already arrived relatively late, and had been delayed for some hours, and now that she thought about it, it should have been long past the time for the feast. It seems that Mama also saw that the conversation between the two was over, so she reminded her.
"Oh? Now that the hour has come, let's go. Yining, you can go over with the mourning family. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Shi Shiran raised her hand.
Seeing this, Tang Yining hurriedly went over to help, and then said, "Yes!" The Queen Mother. Then he went to the main hall with the Queen Mother.
"Please everyone to sit down, the Queen Mother is here, and the tea party will begin!" The eunuch's sharp eyes saw the Empress Dowager's guard of honor appear, and immediately said sharply.
The Queen Mother held Tang Yining's hand, slowly walked to the high position from the middle, and after standing up, Tang Yining stood beside her, and then looked at the Beijing ladies and nobles standing in front of her, without too much expression on her face.
"Today, the mourning family held this tea party, there is no side, it is just to let the big guys get together when they have time. After all, the mourning family is old and can't help but be lively, but the mourning family likes to watch you young people have a good and lively life. ”
There are more daring people below, so they naturally open their mouths to flatter.
"Where did the Queen Mother say, you look very young. There is no one here who is more Qin Chun than you, and this is really frustrating us. ”
"That's right, mother, we are really old, we can't finish every day, and we have to take care of housework every day."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she took Tang Yining's hand and sat down, just now it was just the opening remarks, and the next thing was the main event.
"Well, the mourning family also knows that you have to take care of housework and so on for the people in the house every day. Whoever makes us all women in the back house, left and right just rely on men. After all, the man in the family is in charge, the sky above his head. But even if it's a day, occasionally you can make mistakes, do something incorrect, and there are dark clouds and rain, what do you think? ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were laughing and flattering just now didn't dare to speak, and everyone present was quiet. It turns out that this is what the Queen Mother really means this time.
However, the meaning of the Queen Mother's words made everyone hold their breath, pursed their lips, and listened carefully to the Queen Mother's words. It seems that the Queen Mother's tea party held this time has a deep meaning. No wonder, everyone wondered how the Queen Mother, who had not held any activities for many years, suddenly became interested.
"What the queen mother said is very true."
No one dares to take the Queen Mother's words, as the daughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, and the queen who has been mentioned by the emperor, naturally knows the purpose and reason for the Queen Mother to hold a tea party. At this time, everything has to be held up for the Queen Mother.
Otherwise, wait until the tea party is over, and wait for the queen's. is the double blame of the emperor and the queen mother, even if the queen is already the mother of a country, she can't afford it.
"Hmmm! So there are a lot of things, and we, the women behind us, also have to help to see it clearly. Otherwise, a person who accidentally drags down a large family will not be beautiful. What do you think? ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, the meaning was heavy. Those who are a little more timid are a little unstable on their feet.
"The sons and daughters will obey the will of the Queen Mother." Without saying a word, the queen knelt down first, kowtowed, and said.
"The concubines/daughters obey the will of the Queen Mother."
Even the queen did this, hula, and this knelt down a large number of people at once.
"Alright, let's all get up. The mourning family is holding a tea party, and the big guys don't have to be so restrained, they should eat and drink, and they are all happy. Seeing that the purpose of holding a tea party had been achieved, the Queen Mother softened a little and said.
It's just that the Queen Mother just said that, and the people below still didn't react, and sat down very stiffly one by one, but there was no movement.
When the queen saw this, she knew what was going to happen next, and it was her time to come. Then he took the lead in warming up, and laughed with the princess beside him.
The Queen Mother has been living in the palace for a long time, and when she suddenly saw so many people, she couldn't stand it when she was so noisy. With a little headache, she reached out and rubbed her temples, and slowly closed her eyes.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Yining naturally paid attention to the movements of the Queen Mother beside her, and when she saw the Queen Mother like this, she knew that this was not to make noise. But also, the Queen Mother is not too young to stand such a noisy noise.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for the emperor's intention this time, the Queen Mother would not have held such a tea party again.
"Nothing! The mourning family has not seen so many people for a long time, and the banquet on weekdays is not like this. ”
The Queen Mother said, and looked at the warbler Yanyan in this courtyard, which made the Queen Mother quite kind, it was like returning to the time when the emperor was still there, but at that time she was not the current outsider, but one of them.
Although the queen said this to others, she also kept an eye on the movements of the queen mother. Who made the emperor a famous filial son, if something happened to the queen mother, it was not something that the queen could afford.
"Queen Mother, if you feel unwell, why don't you go back first, and then ask the Imperial Doctor to take a look. There are concubines here to watch, and there will be no problem. ”
Tang Yining also hurriedly echoed what the queen said: "The queen mother, what the queen mother said makes sense, holding this tea party was originally for fun, if something happens to you, it won't be beautiful." Why don't you send you back to the palace, and then ask a doctor to take a look? ”
The Queen Mother listened to the people in a palace talking, although everyone was talking in a low voice, but they couldn't stand the crowd, and the voice became noisy. Although it was quite lively, the Queen Mother still felt a little unbearable.
"Alright! Since you all say so, it is not easy for the mourners to be careful. Yi Ning will accompany the mourning family to go back first, and this place will be handed over to the queen, you must ensure that it is proper and that nothing goes wrong. ”
The queen mother evoked her daughter-in-law, and she was not soft at all. Fortunately, the queen has dealt with these things very well on weekdays, and the queen mother is not here, but she can let go of her hands and feet more.
"Yes, the concubine respectfully obeys the will of the queen mother, please rest assured that the queen mother." So saying, the queen stood up and bowed.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very satisfied: "That's good." Then he raised his hand: "Yining, let's go." ”
Tang Yining hurriedly stepped forward, took the position of the grandmother, and helped the queen mother and said, "Yes, the queen mother." ”
The queen looked at the back of the Queen Mother and Tang Yining who turned to leave, and hurriedly saluted with everyone: "Concubines/daughters, etc., send off the Queen Mother/Queen Mother!" ”
