Chapter 306: Filial Piety and Thousand Autumns
Lingxi did not stay in the Hehuan Hall until Princess Changning went to the Huaqiao to marry out of the palace, and early, she returned to Luoxue Pavilion because she was unwell.
In the Luoxue Pavilion, Qiaozhu has prepared warm chicken soup, refreshing sour plums, and a warm hand stove.
Returning to the inner sanctum and sitting firmly, Lingxi let out a long sigh.
Lotus Ye put the silver fox fur cloak that Lingxi took off under the screen, stepped forward and sat on the small table in front of the low kang, rubbed Lingxi's legs, and said with a smile, "Niangniang, the third princess is married, and you will have peace of mind in the future." ”
"Where can I worry?" Lingxi took a sip of the chicken soup in his hand, and felt a little like vomiting, so he reached out and put it on the table again, frowned and said, "There is one less third princess, and I still use this Jieyu, that beauty." There are still six months to go, and there is no other way to do it than to be careful. ”
Qiaozhu picked up a sour plum and handed it to Lingxi's mouth, and said with a smile, "Niangniang, now that Imperial Physician Wang and Imperial Physician Liu have grown up in Luoxue Pavilion, as long as they are for you, they will all be tested, so carefully will definitely be able to spend these six months safely." ”
Lingxi opened his mouth and took the sour plum in his mouth, and asked Lotus Ye and Qiaozhu with a sour little face, "You say, what does Rou Guifei want to do?" Actually used the third princess to do such a clumsy method......"
"Anyway, it's not good!" Qiaozhu replied, "The third princess is seventeen years old this year, and other princesses have already married at this age." Concubine Rou has never mentioned the marriage of the third princess to the emperor, in order not to marry the third princess to the man of the Zhu family? Niangniang now begged the emperor to marry the third princess early, the third princess should really thank Niangniang, otherwise the marriage of the third princess will not know what year it will be. ”
Spit out the plum kernel in his mouth, Lingxi smiled, "How long can I hold it, I can't hold it until I am eighteen years old, even if Concubine Rou's abacus grows louder, the emperor will have to take more care of the royal face......"
"Royal face...... "Lotus Ye raised her head, looking disagreeing, "Marry the third princess to a sick man, or a concubine without official or position...... The slave really didn't see where the royal face was...... Niangniang, don't you know, now the palace people are talking about the marriage of the third princess in private, in short, there is no good word......"
"Yes, why did the emperor marry the third princess to a sick concubine?" Lingxi looked at the jade hairpin on the lotus leaf bun and was slightly stunned, and couldn't think of what Emperor Yong'an was for.
Princess Changning's marriage was indeed begged by Lingxi and Emperor Yong'an, but who to marry Princess Changning is not something that Lingxi can decide. Even if the Yongan Emperor Qi Princess Changning poisoned the Lingxi, there was no reason to marry the dignified royal princess to a wasted person.
"Because of Pan Shangshubei." Qiaozhu said, "The emperor married Princess Changning to the Pan family, he must have wanted to use Princess Changning to win over the Pan family......"
"But a family as big as the Pan family, there won't be only one man ...... the sick and weak Pan Zhong," Lotus Ye said, "Although the palace people privately rumored that Pan Zhong was a rare beautiful man, this beauty could not be eaten." Besides, I don't think the emperor will assign the third princess to Pan Zhong because he is beautiful. ”
Lingxi came back to his senses, picked up the jade Ruyi on the table, lightly slapped Qiaozhu and Lotus Leaf, and said with a smile, "Okay, how can the emperor's mind be so easy to speculate?" You two don't allow me to think about it on weekdays, but you two think more than anyone else. ”
Xiao Dezi walked in from outside, stood beside the charcoal basin and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, the emperor is here, and he has entered the Yongshou Palace." ”
Lingxi was slightly stunned when she heard this, "What time is it, the honor guard for the third princess to marry has not left the palace yet." ”
Qiaozhu glanced at the incense clock and said with a smile, "It's that I haven't left the palace yet, and there is still a quarter of an hour to go." ”
Lotus Ye stood up from the low table, picked up the small plate with a few plum cores on the table and handed it to Hanyu, and said with a smile, "Niangniang, now the emperor really puts you on the tip of his heart, I heard that you are uncomfortable, and I rushed over to see the ...... without even sending the third princess to get married."
Lingxi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, gently stroking his lower abdomen with his hand, and his heart was calm and waveless.
---------------------------
After Princess Changning got married, the harem was really quiet for a long time. At the very least, no one dares to do anything to your lordship anymore.
The days came to the end of eleven in a snap of his fingers, and Lingxi's pregnancy had been four months old, and the person had gained a whole circle, and his little face was fat and round. The face is flushed, and the complexion is quite good.
On the third day of December in the ninth year of Yong'an, filial piety and the empress dowager were held in the palace to celebrate. Lingxi's body is not yet sinking, so he also has to participate in the family banquet held in the Baohe Palace.
Because he got up late in the afternoon, Lingxi dressed up and rushed to the Baohe Palace, and it was almost hour.
When it is unitary, it has always been the time when the emperor and the queen join hands to enter the table, and even if Lingxi is favored, he will never dare to go in at this time.
After a turn of thought, Lingxi took the hand of the lotus leaf and entered the side room of the Baohe Palace, wanting to come out of the inner hall and sit down. So if someone asked, she would say that she had arrived early, and that she had gone to rest in the inner sanctum because she was tired, so as to save people from arranging it.
Bendu calculated well, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw Xiao and the Empress Dowager, the old birthday star, sitting on the low kang in the inner hall and eating tea.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe is wearing formal clothes today, the snow-white hair is tied high on the head, the hairpins on both sides of the bun are made of gold, the eleven tassels inlaid with emerald gemstones are shaking, and in the middle of the bun, the hairpin is a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe raised her eyes and saw Lingxi coming in, her eyes lit up, she put down the teacup in her hand and beckoned to Lingxi, and said with a smile, "Girl, come and sit down." ”
Lingxi walked in front of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, Ying Ying knelt down, and said, "The concubine wishes the ancestors good fortune like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan." ”
"It's done, hurry up." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe stood up, bent slightly to reach Lingxi's hand, and said with a smile, "I haven't heard much of the mourning family in this festive speech today, and everyone has let the mourning family live to the age of the old goblin, the mourning family, this age is not small......"
Lingxi dared to let Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager help, and quickly stood up and supported the left arm of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe with his hand, and said with a smile, "Who said that." The ancestors are in their prime, and they are at a good age. ”
"It's sweet for you," Xiao and the Empress Dowager pulled Lingxi to sit down on the low kang and sighed, "It's old, and the bones are useless." After receiving the worship of hundreds of officials in the previous dynasty, I can't go back to Yongshou Palace......"
Lingxi raised his eyes to look at the snow-white hair of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and said in a low voice, "Ancestor, if you are tired, go back and rest, the sisters of the harem will have a lively ......."
"That's not going to happen." Xiao and the Empress Dowager shook her hand again and again, muttering, "On weekdays, the mourning family has rewarded them with good things, but now they will not kowtow a few times, and the mourning family will not lose a lot." ”
Lingxi burst out laughing, pulled the sleeve of Xiao and the Empress Dowager with his right hand, and said coquettishly with his eyes, "That's it, the concubine will kowtow to the ancestor a few more times in a while." ”
Zhiyue smiled on the side and said, "Empress Dowager, Ye Guifei's head is not simple, there are several of them, I don't know how many good things you have to move." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe patted Lingxi's hand and smiled heartily.
Zhiqiu glanced at the incense bell and said with a smile, "Empress Dowager, it's a moment of time......
"Hasn't the Emperor come yet?" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe raised her eyes and asked Zhou An, who was standing at the door of the palace.
Zhou An shook his head and replied, "The emperor drank a few more cups during the day......"
"Cheng, don't wait for him, anyway, this mourning family is the main master." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe stood up on crutches, held Lingxi's hand with her left hand, and said, "Let's go, girl, let's take the table." ”
Lingxi didn't move, and smiled at Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "Ancestor, if you don't agree with the etiquette, the concubines should go through the inner hall." ”
Xiao and the Empress Dowager hugged Lingxi's arm under her left armpit, and said stubbornly, "With your current status, you can afford to go in at this time." ”
Seeing that Xiao and the Empress Dowager had a tough attitude, Lingxi no longer shirked. He pulled out his hand and held the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and said with a smile, "That concubine helped you in." ”
Lingxi accompanied Xiao and the Empress Dowager to the table, dazzling the eyes of the concubines in the Baohe Palace. Being able to sit at the table with Xiao and the Empress Dowager at this time is already the queen's etiquette.
Lingxi helped Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager to sit down on the main seat, and he stood in the first position on his left hand, and together with the concubines in the palace, he gave Xiaohe the Empress Dowager blessing and greeted.
After the soft voice fell, the Empress Dowager raised her hand and said, "Get up, sit down, let's have a lively and lively house by ourselves, there are not so many rules." ”
Lingxi sat down, looked back at Concubine Ren sitting beside her, and asked with a chuckle, "How long are you going to owe?" ”
Concubine Ren wore a bright blue waist-cinching palace dress embroidered with apricot blossoms today, with a horsetail on her head, and a few lily-style bead flowers hairpins, showing her lazy temperament.
When she heard Lingxi's words, she looked back and smiled, "Just you are stingy, and I want to account for the Empress Dowager's thousand autumns." ”
"Naturally, I will ask for this account." Lingxi raised his sleeve to cover Sakura's lips and said with a smile, "You only wrote a letter saying that you owe it first, but you didn't say how much you owe, and you didn't say when you owe, then I will have to chase after it from time to time." Don't wait for the babies in my womb to be born, you still owe it. ”
Concubine Ren snorted and said, "What's the hurry, it won't be later than the birth of the child in your womb." ”
While speaking, Gonggong Feng sang from outside the hall, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Lingxi and Concubine Ren stood up and stood outside the desk like the other concubines. When Emperor Yong'an walked to the main seat and sat down, he bowed down and said goodbye.
After Emperor Yong'an asked everyone to get up and sit down, he turned sideways and smiled at Lingxi, "I said a long time ago that I would exempt you from asking for peace, and you still abide by the rules like this......"
Lingxi replied with a smile on her face and a smile, "The concubine's body is not sinking now......"
