Chapter 145: Conspiracy
Ning Shangmo thought about it, if everything went well, he would also stay in this Xiliang Royal Court for a few days. If it doesn't go well, then she won't have much time to help her, but I'm afraid that she will be too busy to take care of herself.
So, she nodded and asked aloud, "If you Xiliang people die, how do you send them?" ”
"It's not the same." The eldest princess of Xiliang didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, and shook her head in embarrassment, this question really can't be answered, everyone has a different way to send it.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Ning Shangmo had to ask directly: "For example, you, this kind of unmarried palace daughter's family, if it dies, how should you send it?" ”
"This, I'm afraid there are no specifications. It's probably just a random ground to bury. After all, you can't enter the imperial mausoleum, and you don't have a husband's family, so you can only bury it casually. The eldest princess of Xiliang said with some sadness, even if she is looking for death, she will be very desolate after death, and she will only become a lonely ghost.
"That's very good." Ning Shangmo couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.
"How's it going?" The eldest princess of Xiliang was confused by her.
So Ning Shangmo lay in her ear and whispered for a long time, a happy smile gradually appeared on her face, and she asked aloud, "Can this work?" ”
Ning Shangmo nodded, "As long as your people are okay, it will definitely work." ”
"Yes, I do." The eldest princess of Xiliang finally showed joy on her face.
At this moment, Zhuye shouted outside: "The crown princess is married." ”
Ning Shangmo and the eldest princess of Xiliang glanced at each other, nodded solemnly, and then sat upright.
The crown princess came in, and the two were drinking tea with a tea bowl, and when they saw her come in, they quickly got up and asked.
She stepped forward affectionately, holding one in one hand, and smiled affectionately: "Today, it is really a blessing to have two sisters with you." ”
Then, after a little politeness, they went to the back garden together.
At this time, it was already dusk, the sky was golden, shrouded in the setting sun, it was a very beautiful spring twilight.
The three of them walked in front, followed by a large group of their respective maids, all the way down the verandah through the weeping flower gate, the moon gate, the arch, and finally came to the back garden.
I saw that the stage had already been set up, and the tables and chairs covered with yellow satin.
The crown princess did not stop, but directly led them to the small attic opposite the stage.
On the second floor, it has already been laid properly, with soft pillows and a small coffee table full of various fruit plates.
"Two sisters, don't dislike the simplicity here, it's okay to settle here?" The crown princess asked with a smile.
"The imperial sister-in-law is so polite, this place is excellent." The eldest princess of Xiliang said with a smile. Ning Shangmo also nodded in agreement: "It's really good to have a good line of sight here, and it's comfortable to sit on." ”
Hearing their praise, the crown princess was very happy, "Originally, the prince planned to let us be outside, I don't think I would mix with those men, I don't have to let my sisters be disappointed, they drink and guess boxing, we can't get used to it." It's as comfortable and quiet as here. ”
"The crown princess has really worked hard for us, and I am very moved." Ning Shangmo smiled very gratefully.
"As long as you're satisfied, I'll be happy." The crown princess said with a smile, "The eldest princess has not been able to have a good time when she came to my Xiliang, and she was frightened the day before yesterday, so today is the right time to take the opportunity to relax and relax." ”
Ning Shangmo thought that the emperor and queen were also coming, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "Why didn't you see the emperor and queen coming?" ”
"They'll have to wait a little while. My father likes to be lively, so he is outside with them. The queen mother is here with us, don't feel restrained, the queen mother is a very humble person, the eldest sister knows. The crown princess said to Ning Shangmo with a smile.
The eldest princess of Xiliang said with a smile: "Yes, the queen mother is the most easy-going, we feel very relaxed in one place, and we all like to gather around her and listen to her say those things about Da Ling's past." ”
"That's not it." The crown princess nodded and smiled.
"The queen lady looks really kind, it may be that I am a bully, and I have a different feeling." Ning Shangmo also nodded in agreement. In fact, she felt that the queen's expression was always faint, and she looked more majestic than loving. Of course, it won't be punctured, anyway, it's always right to follow flattery, after all, under someone's roof.
Several women were laughing and chatting on the second floor of the attic, watching the chairs in front of the tables in the courtyard slowly fill up. And the sky has become dark, but dozens of palace lights are lit at the same time, illuminating the back garden as bright as day.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from everyone, and the crown princess immediately smiled and said, "Father and queen mother are later." ”
Then she got up and smiled at the two eldest princesses: "You wait here, I'll go down and have a look." ”
Both nodded at the same time and sent her downstairs.
"My sister-in-law is really a person, but it's a pity that my eldest brother is not very competitive, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't know how much to call for wind and rain." The eldest princess of Xiliang couldn't help but whisper in Ning Shangmo's ear: "I'm afraid that in the future, my eldest brother will inherit the unification, and the country will probably be held in her hands." ”
Ning Shangmo smiled undeniably, but she could tell from her words that she didn't like the crown princess very much, so she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is she good to you?" ”
"The intention to marry Da Ling was put forward by her, and she clearly wanted to use me as a bargaining chip, win over Da Ling's forces, and add a point of strength for the crown prince to resist the second prince. If it weren't for the second prince, how could he go to Daling and invite you, I'm afraid that it will be very dangerous. The eldest princess of Xiliang didn't seem to have bothered to say these words, and took advantage of this time to say them to Ning Shangmo, "You must be careful of each of them." ”
Ning Shangmo nodded, knowing that she didn't want to say more about it, so she would choose to mention it a little at such an opportunity.
"Thank you, I will."
With a burst of laughter, the crown princess came in with a dignified lady in her arms, followed by many maids and women.
Ning Shangmo and the eldest princess of Xiliang immediately got up to greet the arrival of the queen's mother, and after saluting, they did a good job in accordance with the dignity and orderliness of the seat.
The queen symbolically asked Ning Shangmo some habits of living in the prince's mansion, whether he needed it, etc., so she no longer spoke, but sat silently on the upper seat, staring at the stage in front of her.
The crown princess respectfully handed over the play book and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, my father asked you to order a play." ”
The queen didn't shirk it, and ordered a lively excerpt.
Subsequently, maids kept coming in and bringing all kinds of roasted game.
The crown princess sat beside the queen, thoughtfully cut meat for her, dipped it in the sauce, and put it on a small silver plate.
The queen smiled slightly: "You can eat by yourself, don't worry about me." ”
The crown princess smiled flatteringly: "It's a good thing that your daughter-in-law can serve you." Mother, you just have to be used, and it will be good to fulfill your daughter-in-law's wish. ”
The queen couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Listen, this mouth is really good at talking, I can't even shirk it." I'm sorry for you. ”
Then she said to the eldest princess of Xiliang: "The eldest princess of Daling is not used to eating this barbecue, you can help her get it." ”
The eldest princess of Xiliang nodded and smiled: "Okay, queen mother." ”
Ning Shangmo hurriedly smiled: "No, I'll come by myself." ”
"You don't know how to eat it yourself, so I'll help you. This barbecue is to take advantage of the heat, slice it from the bone, and then dip it in the sauce, a bite of the oil is fattening but not greasy, very delicious, I am afraid that I can't eat such a good thing in Daling Capital. The eldest princess of Xiliang helped Ning Shangmo cut meat, and explained to her with a smile the skills and deliciousness of eating barbecue.
The crown princess couldn't help laughing and said, "The eldest sister is really joking." How can these things be rare in the Great Ling Imperial City? They eat much more high-end than this, so don't show off and let the eldest princess of Da Ling laugh at the loneliness of the people in our small place. ”
When Ning Shangmo heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud: "This barbecue is really delicious, and you can't eat it in Daling Capital." If you open a barbecue restaurant, you will definitely make a lot of money. ”
"I just love to listen to my sister." The crown princess smiled and nodded. Then he concentrated on helping the queen cut meat and dip the sauce.
"Is the little roe deer meat cooked? The one is the fattest and tender, and the queen mother must like to eat it. ”
"Slave maid, let's go take a look."
A little maid agreed and left.
While eating barbecue and listening to the play, I really enjoyed it, but Ning Shangmo secretly prayed in his heart, I hope that tonight will be safe.
As soon as the play is sung, it is the performance of the women's guards ordered by the emperor.
The crown princess clapped her hands and smiled: "The second brother's women's guard, I only watched it once, and that was when I was a daughter at home." I don't know if it's more skilled now. ”
The queen smiled and didn't speak, the eldest princess of Xiliang didn't speak, and Ning Shangmo naturally didn't speak. It seems that the queen doesn't like the second prince who was not born to her. After all, he is the greatest threat to the crown prince.
Soon the women's guards came to the stage, and they performed nothing more than imitation of marching and fighting. Although it is a little awkward, because it is a women's performance, it adds a lot of fun.
The men in the courtyard were clapping their hands and applauding when they looked at the women's fists and embroidered legs on the stage.
The corners of the queen's lips were hooked with a trace of disdain, and she was seen by the crown princess, and immediately said loudly: "Alas, I really don't know what to look at, it's obviously a group of daughters, who don't learn from women but learn from men to dance knives and sticks, and can't go to the battlefield." It's the most contrived, it's not as bright as those Qinglou women. ”
"What the imperial sister-in-law said is very true, I don't like to watch these either." The eldest princess of Xiliang said with a flattering smile on the side.
Ning Shangmo didn't want to speak, she also pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is their kung fu real?" It's not easy for a weak woman to do this. ”
The crown princess couldn't help sneering: "Of course it's not true, it's just a fist and a leg embroidery, it's just a man's action." ”
Speaking of this, she changed her tone and smiled: "For men, it is also a merit to be able to win them a smile, but for these women, it is inevitably disdainful." ”
"It's just to practice real kung fu, and it's true to be able to go into battle and kill the enemy." The eldest princess of Xiliang nodded in response.
