Chapter 331: Shufangzhai chatting
There is a stage in the Imperial Garden, which was not available before, if it weren't for the fact that the queen suddenly fell in love with the troupe outside the palace five years ago, otherwise there would be no stage built in a place like the Imperial Garden.
Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber sat in the place that had been arranged by the palace people, and each of the women naturally sat in the place where they should be in order, and the lowest position did not affect the perception of watching the play.
The queen was the last to arrive, and the queen at this time put on a big red jacket skirt embroidered with a colorful golden phoenix, Zhu Hongyu really went to change clothes when she saw the emperor, and thought that she was just looking for an excuse to go to the toilet.
So he and his sister got up from their seats and bowed to the queen for a half-salute.
The queen is a person who knows how to be polite, and she hurriedly asked everyone to get up, and then sat on the front seat, and the maid on the side brought a thick fold and let the queen choose the play.
The queen just pointed, and waved her hand to let the maid go down, and the eunuch shouted to everyone, saying, "The queen mother ordered the two scenes of "Feiyan" and "Tanuki"ββ"
Zhu Hongyu is the first time to see how the people in the palace enrich their spare time, and on the one hand, it is quite interesting to listen to the names of these two plays.
I don't know if it's the sixth sense, Zhu Hongyu always feels that the queen's choice of these two plays has a deep meaning.
Of course, Zhu Hongyu can't control so much, the show starts, and two harlequins come out from the entrance place, painted with ingots faces.
said a lot of inconsequential words, it turned out that this "Feiyan" is still a comedy, and it is an anecdote about Zhao Feiyan.
Then the delicate Hua Dan came out to sing, Zhu Hongyu really didn't believe that this Hua Dan was played by a man, my mother...... It's really more charming than a woman.
In the process of singing, Zhu Hongyu saw a person who looked like a eunuch walk up to the queen and whispered something to the queen.
Zhu Hongyu definitely didn't care about this detail in the past, but she cares a lot about this matter today.
What the hell is going on? will be interrupted when the queen and the wife are watching the play together.
It may be a big deal, but what can be a big deal at this time period?
Soon, the queen and the eunuchs around her whispered a few words and asked the eunuchs to do it, and saw the eunuchs walking to Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber.
"Two young ladies, the queen invites Shu Fangzhai to have refreshments."
Zhu Hongyu looked at the eunuch vigilantly, and so did Amber.
Both of them couldn't believe it, why after all the wives, the lowliest of them would be summoned by the queen, and what could not be said about the origin of this?
Thinking about it left and right, Zhu Hongyu felt that she should still go to meet the queen, at least it was in line with etiquette.
Even if the queen wanted to kill them, it would be impossible for them to escape with their current abilities.
Even if you know that it is a Hongmen banquet, you have to go over it head-on.
"Sister, let's go."
Zhu Hongyu said to her sister with sorrow on her face, and Zhu Amber looked at her sister, looking at her with worry on her face, and her heart was also worried.
"Hmm...... All right. β
Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber had a struggle of thoughts, and the two of them stood up and were led by the queen's personal eunuch to Shufangzhai.
Of course, all this was also seen by the wives, and of course they wanted to ask the queen why she summoned these two girls alone.
But now, while she was singing, no woman dared to stand up and ask questions.
In this way, in the eyes of everyone, Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber walked towards Shufangzhai, and the queen looked at the two girls walking away, and then slowly got up and was led to Shufangzhai by the palace daughter who was close to her.
As soon as the queen left, the wives seemed to explode, and no matter what the actors on the stage thought, they just discussed what the queen and the two girls of the Zhu family did.
If you talk about the plague, you should have talked about it in the main hall just now, and you shouldn't have left here.
But now that they have talked about this issue, it is very suspicious that the queen is leading the two girls away.
Princess Shun, who has the best relationship with the queen, was also a little unable to sit still at this time.
Because of her face, she thought that she could only ask clearly when she entered the palace and asked the queen for peace in a few days.
Here, Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber were led by the eunuch to Shufangzhai.
In fact, it is a small set of courtyards, which should be a small courtyard for low-ranking concubines to live in, but now there are no concubines to live, so it is empty.
Using such a courtyard as a place to chat, it seems that Shufangzhai is in the hands of the queen.
It can also be seen that the emperor's harem does not have too many concubines, so there can be a vacant palace for the queen to divert for other purposes.
Zhu Hongyu and her sister walked into the main hall of Shufangzhai, only to see a portrait of a plum blossom and a deer facing the door.
This is another big hobby of the queen, and she doesn't like to use incense on weekdays, so she finds a lot of fruits, so that the fruits exude a unique fruity aroma, and only smell the fruity smell.
Zhu Hongyu stepped forward, looked at the fruit on the plate, and thought to herself that she would be rich in the future, and she would be as poor and luxurious as the queen.
"The queen has arrivedβ"
Suddenly, the eunuch said this, and Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber were startled.
I just learned etiquette from Lianxin, but I was still unfamiliar, and the two of them bowed awkwardly, and the queen came in at this time.
Looking at the girl kneeling on the ground and performing the full salute, the queen smiled heartily, and then walked towards the main seat.
"Excuse me, give me a seat."
Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber stood aside, and soon two palace maids stepped forward and brought stools for Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber.
After the two of them sat down, the queen glanced again, and the eunuch on the side called out two palace maids, who held plates in their hands, and in the plates were all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, which were very luxurious.
The maid brought the plate to the two of them.
The queen said, "Your name is Zhu Hongyu, and your sister is called Amber, what do you think of the palace compared to home?" β
Hearing the queen's question, Zhu Hongyu really felt panicked, so she quickly stood up and saluted the queen.
"If you go back to the queen's mother, compared with the palace and the courtier's home, it is naturally different from cloud and mud, and how rich and luxurious the palace is, I have never seen it in my life. However, the luxury in this palace is only for people like you to live in, we are just a poor people's home, and we are not qualified to enjoy such luxury. β
Zhu Hongyu babbled a lot of words, just to tell the queen that her own home is very good to live in, and you can only afford to live in such a house if you are a rich and noble person. Of course, it also contains the meaning of full compliment to the queen.
"Hongyu, look at the jewelry in this wooden plate, if you have something you like, if you have something you like, you might as well pick out one or two."
Zhu Hongyu was even more terrified when she heard that the queen was so gentle and generous to give her jewelry.
So, Zhu Hongyu knelt down all of a sudden, and even took Zhu Amber and quickly knelt down.
"The queen is blessed, my sister and I are just little country girls and village girls. We are also deserved by the generosity of the queen mother, and we hope that the queen mother can tell us a reason, why we brought our sisters here, and why we should be rewarded. I just did what a courtier should do. β
Zhu Hongyu knew that if the queen's reward was not clear, they would put themselves in an even more dangerous situation.
Rather than this, it is better to let the queen understand that they also want to know a reason, and hope that the queen will not play dumb riddles with them.
The queen looked at Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber, thinking that the girls who came from the countryside did not necessarily think less than the women in their harem.
This girl is smart, but too smart is annoying.
"This palace doesn't have any intentions or plans for you, but simply feels that you have contributed to the fight against the plague, and you are a fellow villager of Rundaochang, so I take special care of you. When I was waiting for you to meet you in the main hall just now, there were a lot of people and I was busy with affairs. It's rude to let everyone wait and talk to you, so this palace specially called you here to question, but I didn't expect it to make you tremble, this is the meaning of misunderstanding this palace. β
However, Zhu Hongyu felt that she really did not misunderstand the queen, and the queen must have some intentions, but she didn't know it.
"Queen Xie, as the saying goes, no merit is not punished, my sister and I really don't have any merit, and our younger brother is running the house. The courtiers thanked the queen for her kindness and bowed three times. β
After speaking, Zhu Hongyu saluted the queen three times, and the queen looked at Zhu Hongyu and had to sigh helplessly.
He should be the first to know the news in the harem, and now Zhu Hongyu must not know that Runye has become the head of the sect.
Why is she so cautious?
After thinking about it for a while, the queen felt that she might be thinking too much, because no matter what Zhu Hongyu said, she was just a little girl from the countryside, and what she had in mind would not be what a queen in a high position like her would have.
Maybe it's just cautious and hasn't seen the world.
"Ruby, what are you doing, get up, sit down. Hongu really thinks that I have an eye for your sisters, and I want to get to know you. Since you think that the palace directly rewarded you with jewelry hairpin rings, you don't dare to accept it, forget it, another day, you often enter the palace to talk to the palace and relieve fatigue. I'm just eye-catching with you. β
Zhu Hongyu listened to the queen's words, and felt more and more that she had something to say.
But she still stood up, looked at the queen very respectfully, and then said: "Queen Xie, if you don't dislike us from a humble background and short-sighted, you let me enter the palace to accompany me, naturally I don't dare to delay, but the courtier's family is in Ganzhou, I'm afraid I can't come often." β
The queen smirked and said, "Oh, aren't you here now?" often came into the palace to talk, but it didn't matter, just to pass the time. By the way, if your Zhu family wants to stay in Bianjing, this palace can do it in the end. β
Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, if the queen said this now, if she really gave them the grace of the family, she Zhu Hongyu would definitely not dare to agree.
But in the queen's words, it was clear that she wanted to win her over, and there was no threat.
Thinking about it, Zhu Hongyu felt that this was not a trap for her, it should really be trying to win her over as an anonymous person.
