&nbTwo months later, it's Chinese New Year's Eve. %d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3
&nbThis is the first time Concubine Jing has organized the New Year's Festival. General Shangguan in Northern Xinjiang has led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against the Xiongnu, and the palace has to be simple for the New Year.
&nb The days before Chinese New Year's Eve were very busy, summoning the six monks and the stewards of the palaces to discuss, which was very hard. She calculated the budget for buying all kinds of New Year's goods over and over again, and set the things to be purchased, and was begged by the Shanggong Bureau with a bitter face, saying that this little silver could not buy good goods. Moving left and right, rushing to work overnight, she finally settled all the matters of the New Year. She was meticulous and willing to do things, and in the end, she was all right, and the Empress Dowager looked at the arrangements for Chinese New Year's Eve and said that it was good.
&nb On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the concubines gathered in the Jiaotai Hall as usual. The emperor and the queen mother were tired from a day of work from the hundreds of officials, and at this time they had to sit at the top according to the number of etiquette, and they all looked tired. Empress Xiao was so sick that it was difficult to even walk and could not attend the night banquet, so the seat on the emperor's right hand was vacant, and the second person sitting above her was naturally Concubine Jing.
&nb Because of the lack of the queen, Concubine Jing replaced the middle palace at the banquet, and got up to pour wine and cloth for the emperor and the queen mother. Concubine Jing has a gentle temperament, and she is very considerate when she serves her husband and mother-in-law, and carefully replaces the Jiang rice balls eaten by the Queen Mother with barley crystal balls, saying that it is not suitable for elderly people to eat Jiang rice. The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, but she didn't say much to Concubine Jing, only turned her head sideways and said to the emperor:
&nb "What happened to the Queen?" If you can't attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, won't the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment be effective? ”
&nb mentioned Empress Xiao, and Tuoba Hong's face also showed worry: "Will the queen's illness improve for a while and a half, she often coughs up blood, she doesn't know the taste of food, she can't sleep at night, and the imperial doctors can't do anything." The queen mother was bothered by this matter. ”
&nb "It's not bothering to mourn the family, it's just that she, as the mother of the country, can't get sick." The Empress Dowager sighed slightly: "She is your wife, the queen of Great Qin." If you can't afford to be sick, who else can take on this important responsibility in the future and share worries for the emperor and Daqin? The queen's illness is important, and the emperor must find a miracle doctor as soon as possible to cure the queen. ”
&nb Takubahiro nodded yes, bowing his head and drinking to hide the gloom between his brows. How easy is it to cure Empress Xiao? The imperial doctors in the palace are helpless, and they are still counting on an incognito doctor in the rivers and lakes?
&nb Concubine Jing on the side was silent, but her heart was dull. Have a good Chinese New Year's Eve feast, and mention what that half-dead obscure person does!
&nb The Empress Dowager is a cold and ruthless person, she only has Daqin and Sheji in her heart, in her eyes, Empress Xiao is not a good daughter-in-law, but she can't die of illness, and the system and responsibility of the mother of the country are still waiting for her to carry. And none of the concubines under the queen can be qualified to replace the queen.
&nb Concubine Jing understands that it is not as easy as imagined to replace the middle palace.
&nbThe concubines toasted each other, and they were happy, and it was gratifying to watch. Lin Yuan held sweet tea and laughed with Zhao Shuyuan beside her, Emperor Changning was eating Nafu dim sum in a regular manner, and Tuoba Qi's child who was lying on Lin Yuan's knee was sleeping soundly.
&nb Unlike children of the same age, Tuoba Qi doesn't like to make trouble or cry, and she is not very interested in eating. His doting grandmother gave him cotton candy and milk grapes every day, and most of them ended up in his mother's mouth, or were snatched by the energetic and competitive Five Princes.
&nb Lin Yuan said that this child is really easy to bring.
&nb After a while, several palace maids brought the dishes up, which was a dessert of barley and wolfberry cake, specially prepared for several princes and princesses. The fifth prince had just grown baby teeth, and he quickly broke free from the arms of Zhining's grandmother, climbed onto the long table, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and was so frightened that the concubine hurriedly grabbed it: "You are still young, you can't eat like this, but don't choke......" King Zhao and Changning both sat up straight, waiting for the palace maid next to them to come over with a small porcelain plate to serve them.
&nb And Tuoba Qi is still sleeping.
&nb Lin Yuan can't sit still, the pastries of this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet can't be eaten on weekdays, people's children know to rob, their own son will not suffer a loss! Wait a little longer, and the five princes will definitely eat up the two of them.
&nb She reached out and pushed Tuoba Qi's little arm, but there was no response; Pinching his face again, Tuoba Qi spit out two small bubbles, and his eyes closed even tighter.
&nb She sighed helplessly, and reached out to pinch three pieces of pastry into her mouth while she was unprepared. Hmm, it tastes so good......
&nb At this time, Emperor Changning turned around and spit on the handkerchief in the hand of the palace maid, and pushed the plate in front of him, and said, "Take it down, the palace is ready." ”
&nb Zhao Shuyuan frowned slightly. These things are all gifts from the Queen Mother, and the New Year's Eve is a big place, and this appearance makes people see what kind of system it has become.
Seeing his mother's expression, Changning pursed his lips slightly, and reluctantly picked up another piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. She has always been a sensible and precocious child, and she has long learned to be indistinguishable from joy and anger, and she has also learned to speak and do things insincerely. Originally, a piece of undelicious pastry was difficult for her, but after swallowing it this time, her throat and eyes were sour, and she finally couldn't help but spit it out again.
&nb's concubine Mao, who was at odds with Zhao Shuyuan, noticed the movement and looked at it together.
&nb "Changning! Zhao Shuyuan shouted angrily. It's not that she doesn't love her daughter, but she understands that in this palace, the status of their mother and son is no more than Erer. Changning has no right to be willful at all, and if he doesn't learn to endure it at this time, he will suffer sooner or later in the future.
&nb "It seems that Emperor Changning doesn't like the pastries rewarded by the Queen Mother." Concubine Mao covered her lips with a fan and chuckled: "Sister Shuyuan, the emperor is still a child, don't force her, look at it is really pitiful......"
&nbZhao Shuyuan's face was flushed for a while. At this time, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor also looked over, and Tuoba Hong said: "It's just a trivial matter, Shuyuan shouldn't make too much of a fuss." He beckoned: "Changning come over and tell your father what you like to eat?" Father asked you to do it. ”
&nb Changning Bingxue is smart, where do you dare to really ask for something at this time, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's Changning who has contracted the wind and cold these days, and his appetite is not good, and he is really guilty of trampling the imperial grandmother's pastries......"
&nb "Yo, you're cold?" The queen mother hurriedly said: "Is it because you wear less in winter?" Or do you kick the quilt at night? ”
&nb Changning's face turned red, sure enough, pretending to be sick is not a good way, and the imperial grandmother began to get to the bottom again!
&nb had no choice but to wave his hand again and again, and said, "No, no, yes...... It's been a long time since I played Kemari yesterday...... Tired of the imperial grandmother's worries. ”
&nb: "Is Emperor Changning cold because of playfulness?" Before the queen mother could speak, Concubine Mao exclaimed: "How are the servants of Yanqing Palace on errands, the emperor has a good time, I don't know if the good life serves and dissuades, and the emperor is frozen outside!" In addition, Emperor Changning, you are a girl, you should learn to be chaste, how can you play Keju! I don't have any ambitions for the future......"
&nb "Concubine! Zhao Shuyuan clenched her hands tightly, her face full of anger.
&nb Changning watched his mother and concubine arguing, and then saw the queen mother Zhang Luo ordering someone to change her thick clothes, and couldn't help but have a headache. It's just a piece of pastry, and it causes so much trouble!
&nb She moved her lips and said in a heart: "Imperial grandmother, please listen to the words of the son." Erchen ...... Erchen didn't suffer from the cold, but he was greedy and accumulated food recently, so he couldn't eat pastries. ”
&nb After saying this, her little hand clenched the hem of her sleeve tightly, well, there should be no problem with this reason, right? You won't be found in the loophole, right?
&nb: "I'm afraid Emperor Changning isn't accumulating food." Suddenly, a woman in the crowd got up, saluted the emperor from afar, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "The concubine feels that this pastry is not appetizing, and the emperor doesn't dare to say it, so she hides it." ”
&nb Zhao Shuyuan turned around angrily, and was stunned when she saw the woman's appearance: "Are you ......?"
&nb "The concubine is the queen of Cai's family, and Shuyuan Niangniang probably doesn't remember." Wang Cainu knelt with low eyebrows.
&nb The emperor and queen mother all looked displeased. Wang Cainu's status is low, only because of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet harem, this can be attended, and she is not even qualified to show her face in front of the emperor on weekdays. At this time, she stood up to speak, and Takubahiro would only think that she didn't understand the rules.
&nb "Wang, you step back first, Changning is unwell, just let the imperial doctor take a look later." "The queen mother is average, and this child has already understood what Changning is doing, so she naturally doesn't want to embarrass her.
&nb Wang Cainu's body trembled slightly, and her long-term humility had made her accustomed to fear. She bit her lip tightly, and finally boldly raised her head and said: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to listen to the concubine!" The concubine used to be the palace maid of the Shangshi Bureau, and she knew the ingredients better than ordinary people. His Royal Highness Changning's pastry ......" said he reached out and picked up the piece that Changning spit on the handkerchief, looked at it twice, and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this thing." ”
&nb "What do you say! The Queen Mother was shocked. Her eyes widened, and she immediately ordered left and right: "Quickly, take all the barley and wolfberry cakes away!" As soon as he turned around, he saw the fifth prince holding a piece in one hand and gnawing on it, and hurriedly snatched it down: "Come on, take the fifth prince down and let him spit out all the things!" Concubine, what do you think of the child, even if the pastries are fine, you can't let the five princes eat so much! ”
&nb The conscience of heaven and earth, the concubine is really good to the five princes, the five princes are the hope of the second half of her life, and it is not enough to hold it in the palm of her hand every day. She couldn't care about the queen mother's reprimand at this time, and cried and patted the back of the fifth prince: "Spit it out, Jue'er, vomit quickly......"
&nb The hall was already in a panic. Concubine Jin cried so much, Zhao Shuyuan hugged Changning and screamed: "Did someone poison the pastry!" Changning, did you eat it just now? Quick, spit it out......"
&nbLin Yuan, who was full of black lines, took advantage of the chaos and stuffed two pieces in his mouth again. Sure enough, everyone in the palace suffers from paranoia of victimization, no matter what Wang Cainu said is true or false, what if it is really poisonous?
&nb Wang Cainu looked at the chaos in front of her, and her legs were weak. In the end, she had to step forward and grab the hem of the queen mother's skirt: "Queen Mother, there is no poison in this pastry......"
