Chapter 167: All mouths are golden
"Welcome to the queen, the mother is a thousand years old."
The ladies present stood up one after another to salute, and the queen's gentle voice sounded in a few moments, "Please get up." ”
Gu Qingyi's big belly was particularly difficult, Princess Duan helped her to successfully get up and sit down, looking up, the queen's dress today was as magnificent as ever, with a comfortable smile on his face, it could be seen that she was very proud that the prince presided over the big sacrifice today.
There is also a young and charming woman who came out with the queen, who didn't look like a palace maid, but looked like a concubine, but the concubines had already entered the table, and the eyes that looked at her were not hostile, the identity of this female concubine could be ruled out, and it was very likely that she was from the East Palace.
Gu Qingyi subconsciously looked at Yan Shunying, and sure enough, she saw her staring at the woman deadly, with jealousy, hatred and a little schadenfreude in her eyes, jealousy and hatred are understandable, why is the schadenfreude?
"That's Shi Liangdi." Noticing Gu Qingyi's gaze, Princess Duan took the initiative to introduce her, at this time, the queen was chatting with the wife, and it was inconspicuous to talk together, but Princess Duan still deliberately lowered her voice, "I heard that she is quite favored by the queen and the prince, and she had a miscarriage not long ago, but I didn't expect to recover so quickly, in my opinion, she is also a ruthless person." ”
It turned out that this was Shi Liangdi, looking at her thoughtful appearance of serving the queen, I knew that this person was thoughtful, able to bend and stretch, proud and stubborn since childhood, and Yan Shunying, who refused to bow her head, was indeed inferior to the other party.
She couldn't help but sigh, what about all kinds of calculations, in the end, she didn't just hear the newcomer laughing, I don't know if the old person cried, and I don't know if Yan Shunying regretted it.
The palace maid served the tea, the tea soup was clear and yellow, the fragrance was light, and it was not obvious at all in the hall with strong incense, but Gu Qingyi's nose had always been keen, and she vaguely smelled something wrong in the tea.
Saffron!
She had a bad time in her previous life, she often drank saffron to recuperate, and she was very familiar with this taste, and the dose of saffron in the tea was very small, but it was obvious what would happen to a pregnant woman who drank saffron and went to the big festival again.
The queen seemed to have been paying attention to her movements, and at this time she looked at Gu Qingyi with a smile, "This is the top hair tip of the imperial offering, and the palace only gets four taels, and I have been reluctant to drink it." Today, I let people take the first snow melt water to boil tea, I can't evaluate it good or bad, Princess Qin, you are rich and rich, why don't you come to taste one or two. ”
Everyone's eyes looked at Gu Qingyi, and there was a keen sense that the East Palace and the Qin Palace's discord were in discord, so they felt that this was the queen's trouble, so they looked at their noses and noses, and did not dare to participate. But Mrs. Zhou's gaze was not shy of it, with obvious worries, obviously feeling that the queen was not just as simple as letting Gu Qingyi taste tea.
Gu Qingyi didn't touch the cup of tea, and her face showed a little embarrassment, "The queen mother praised it falsely, in front of the crown princess, how dare the daughter-in-law claim to be rich and rich, and the daughter-in-law doesn't know how to taste tea, so she doesn't dare to assert it, I'm afraid she will laugh and be generous." ”
The queen's smile faded, and Shi Liangdi, who was beside her, suddenly spoke, "I see that Princess Qin has not touched the tea, but the tea is not to your liking?" ”
Her gaze was very strange, it was actually with a strong hatred, and Gu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, not knowing when she provoked this Shi Liangdi. Quietly suppressing the doubts in her heart, she pursed her lips and said, "Shi Liangdi doesn't know, the fetus of a pregnant woman is very troublesome when it is big, and she has to change her clothes from time to time. ”
This is the truth, what Fang just said is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that it is inconvenient to go to the toilet in the palace, and she is unwilling to add more trouble.
Shi Liangdi clenched her hands fiercely, the pain of her nails piercing into the flesh made her mind clearer, originally she also had children, but someone was ruthless and took away her blessing of giving birth to an heir!
Qin Wangfu! What a Qin Palace!
Shi Liangdi's eyes were gloomy, and her face was ugly that anyone with a discerning eye could see, but everyone knew that she had a miscarriage not long ago, and when she touched on sad things, she didn't feel anything.
Mrs. Zhou didn't have the heart to pity Shi Liangdi, as long as Gu Qingyi was embarrassed, it was her enemy, so she deliberately continued to say, "Yes, everyone who has given birth to a child knows that pregnancy is not easy at all, frequent toileting is just enough, swollen limbs and cramps are grinding, sitting is tired, I can't wait to lie in bed all day long." ”
Almost all of the women present have given birth to children, and they all nodded sympathetically, talking about the difficulty of pregnancy, Princess Duan even said, "Niece and daughter-in-law, you have been here for eight months, you are not in good health, you were assassinated a while ago and you were seriously ill, can you hold up the big sacrifice later?" ”
Everyone looked at it, the winter dress was thick and heavy, but they could also see Princess Qin's high bulging lower abdomen, compared with her slender body, it looked shocking, many people were secretly frightened, and they always felt that the child could get out at any time, and it was difficult for Princess Qin, such a big belly, sitting for so long without making a sound.
Sensing the change in the eyes of the wives, the queen hated in her heart, dipped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a light smile, "When I was pregnant with the crown prince and was pregnant in August, I also went to participate in the big festival, and I didn't see any problems, Princess Duan was too worried." ”
The queen lied, she fought to the death with the biological mother of King Qin, Emperor Huixian, even if the emperor pardoned her not to participate in the big sacrifice, she still participated solemnly, and finally had a fetal gas, if it weren't for the imperial doctor of the hospital, she was afraid that she would have been born prematurely.
Gu Qingyi didn't know about the queen's old things, but she also knew that the queen was definitely not easy back then, maybe she was just a swollen face and a fat man. Although King Qin had already made arrangements, she also wanted to make some efforts, so she said, "The queen mother is healthy, but she is envious of her daughter-in-law." The prince of our family knew that his daughter-in-law had always been in poor health and was the first child, so he was afraid that there would be some accidents at the big sacrifice and disturb the ancestors, so he specially begged his father to allow his daughter-in-law not to participate in the big sacrifice. The daughter-in-law is sensitive, but she didn't expect her father to be infected with the cold, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered all officials to order their wives to participate in the big sacrifice to pray for their father's blessings, and the daughter-in-law is a hundred willing, as long as the father can recover, what is the point for the daughter-in-law to suffer a little? is the child in the womb, and he also hopes that his own imperial grandfather will be healthy. ”
Everyone praised Princess Qin's pure filial piety, and at the same time muttered in their hearts, Your Majesty can sympathize with Princess Qin's pregnancy, but the prince does not allow anyone to be absent, which is a bit interesting, there are many people who are not in good health among the heroes and nobles, and there are many pregnant women like Princess Qin. Although it is a prayer for His Majesty, it also makes people feel that the prince is harsh and inconsiderate.
Gu Qingyi is not the only one who is physically inconvenient, but everyone didn't show it, and the prince's order was more or less embarrassing.
Seeing the different colors on everyone's faces, the queen almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face, Shi Liangdi was clever, knowing that it would be bad for them to continue to stay, so she hurriedly reminded, "Queen Mother, it's not too early, it's time to go to Taimiao." ”
"Exactly, thanks to Youliangdi for reminding this palace." As if she had just come to her senses, the queen stood up with her hand, and said with a smile to everyone, "I forgot the hour when I chatted, so please go with me to the Taimiao Temple to participate in the big sacrifice." ”
Seeing this, he actually planned to turn a deaf ear to Princess Qin.
Everyone's eyes flickered, and they had a plan in their hearts, and they didn't continue to come out stupidly, they hurriedly smiled and agreed, and got up and walked out. Gu Qingyi didn't continue to entangle, otherwise it would be unforgiving, sometimes a proper show of weakness is the best means, people will pity the weak, even if they don't say it, they will sympathize with her a little bit in their hearts.
She is gentle and pure and filial piety, and soon the queen and the prince are not lenient. This way of boiling frogs in warm water is enough.
Mrs. Zhou crossed the crowd and stepped forward to support Gu Qingyi, lowered her body and asked, "Is there a problem with that tea?" ”
Gu Qingyi was not surprised that A-Niang could guess, and nodded slightly, "There is saffron in it." ”
Mrs. Zhou's face instantly became gloomy, "If you do such a lack of virtue on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you are not afraid of losing your good fortune!" ”
"A-Niang, silence." There were people all around, Gu Qingyi was afraid that A-Niang would say something disrespectful, "That's all there is to influence them, be careful." ”
Mrs. Zhou twisted her handkerchief, knowing that it was not the time to be angry, she suppressed her anger and helped Gu Qingyi away.
It was not only Gu Qingyi and Mrs. Zhou who were whispering, Yan Shunying was holding Zhu Shi, her face was full of flattery and caution, "Grandmother, be careful." ”
Zhu didn't look at her, her eyes seemed to inadvertently plunder the clumsy figure in front of her, a little sadness appeared in her eyes, she asked the same question as Gu Qingyi, "Do you regret it?" ”
Yan Shunying bit her lip, but her eyes turned red unconsciously, and her words were resolute, "No regrets!" ”
Zhu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already calm, "Since you have chosen this path, I have nothing to say, but there is one thing you must know, no matter what happens to you in the future, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion will not give you the slightest support." ”
If there is no Wu Anhou's maiden family, where does she, the crown princess, have the confidence? Yan Shunying finally panicked and choked up, "Grandmother, why, I'm also your granddaughter!" Why should you ignore me! ”
Zhu Shi let go of her hand, his face was extremely cold, "Because of what, you know yourself." ”
Yan Shunying looked at the back of her grandmother's desperate departure, despair was gradually replaced by a raging fighting spirit and determination, she clenched her hands tightly, and secretly made a decision in her heart that one day, she must let her grandmother and father know that she is no worse than Yan Shunhua!
