308. Concession (I)
After listening to the words of the two daughters, Empress Changsun wrinkled her eyebrows slightly and did not speak for a long time.
Changle and Yuzhang were a little uneasy when they saw this, and as the time passed minute by minute, Changle finally held back his voice and broke the silence: "Queen Mother, but what did we say wrong?" ”
"No, it's nothing, you guys go back." Empress Eldest Sun came back to her senses, glanced up at her two daughters, and waved them back.
After the two children left, the eldest grandson sat quietly in the hall alone for a long time, until Yan Qiu came in and said that the little princess was awake and was crying, and the nurse was not good for a while.
"Go in and have a look." The eldest grandson put aside his happy affairs, got up and walked towards the side hall where the little girl was.
Her daughter was born in August last year, her nickname is a green character, she is now eight months old, she knows how to recognize people, although she is not breastfed by the eldest grandson, she is very close to her mother, and if she can't see her every day, she will cry.
When the eldest grandson queen entered, the nurse was holding the child and coaxing, but she couldn't coax it well, until the child saw the eldest grandson queen, the crying stopped, and stretched out two arms, one by one towards her.
"Little naughty, your sisters and brothers are not as abrasive as you." Empress Eldest Sun quickened her pace, walked to the nurse's side, reached out to take her, stretched out a finger, lightly tapped her nose, and scolded with a smile.
"Little princess, mother." The nurse smiled and answered.
"Well, Bengong knows, you take good care of the little princess, you go and do other things, Bengong will take her to play for a while." Empress Eldest Sun nodded, hugged the child and walked out.
was interrupted by this child, and the little depression in the eldest grandson's heart was temporarily left behind by her.
The eldest grandson queen walked outside the palace with the little princess, the early summer season is neither hot nor cold, the sun is shining, there is a garden outside the Lizheng Palace, the scenery is excellent.
Qinglan, who had just finished coming, saw the queen going out with the little princess in her arms, and hurriedly followed.
The little princess was carried to the garden by the eldest grandson, breathing in the fresh air outside, looking at the purple flowers in the garden, and the colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers and trees, and suddenly laughed.
"The happiest time in a person's life is probably the time when Qing'er and the young slave are their age, children of this age, when they are happy, they will laugh, if they are unhappy, they will cry, when they are hungry, they will eat, and when they are sleepy, they will sleep......" Empress Changsun looked at her daughter's bright and innocent smiling face, and couldn't help but sigh.
"But a person's life, after all, needs all kinds of experience to be complete." Qinglan blurted out.
"Yes, the ignorance and innocence of childhood, the love and hatred of young people, and the burden of life are all an experience of life.
"Compared with ordinary people, Bengong has already gotten too much in this life, and some small setbacks, that is, lingering, really shouldn't be." Empress Eldest Sun took her eyes off her daughter and fell on the flowers blooming in the garden, and only said this for a long time.
It has never been easy to reform the old and the new, and she should have known in her heart that the matter of Xiangcheng is indeed a great thing.
If all the princesses can learn from her, it will not establish a good reputation for the royal family, and it will save a lot of financial and material resources.
But although this move is a thousand good, it will touch the interests of the entire royal family and even the imperial power, once the princess's privileges are canceled.
As time goes by, everyone's eyes will unconsciously fall on the prince again, and slowly, the supervision of the imperial power by the people and courtiers will become more and more ......
Although the person sitting on the throne is her husband, the Li family's country cannot rely on her husband alone.
Although the matter of Xiangcheng is small, the consumption is indeed the interest of the entire Li royal family, and it is reasonable that there are so many dissatisfaction and opposition voices of the clansmen.
"Niangniang, Concubine Wei, Concubine Wei Zhaorong, and Concubine Yan Xian are visiting." Just when she was holding her daughter and thinking silently about her thoughts, the palace maid Yanqiu came over and said softly.
"Got it, let's go back." Empress Changsun came back to her senses, holding her daughter for a long time, her arms were a little sore, and when she turned around, Qing'er happened to be writhing again, and almost slipped out of her arms.
Seeing this, Qinglan took the little princess over in time, the little princess faced so many people every day, Qinglan and Ah Ugly were familiar old faces, Qing'er was held in her arms and did not cry, and continued to play left and right.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." As soon as Empress Eldest Sun entered the door, Concubine Wei Guirong, Wei Zhaorong, and Concubine Yan Xian, who were already waiting in the inner hall, stood up together and came over to salute her.
"My own sisters, no need to be polite, sit down, a few sisters came to this palace, but what's the matter?" Empress Eldest Sun waved her hand.
While beckoning everyone to sit down, she spoke, and Qinglan took the little princess to the side hall with a very good eye.
The eldest grandson did not ask the concubines in the palace to come over every day to ask for peace, and the rule was that except for some special days, it was usually enough to come to ask for peace three times a month, and today was obviously not a day to ask for peace.
(Note, because I don't know the Tang Dynasty's standards for asking for peace, I simply feel that it is too troublesome for the palace concubines to ask for peace every day, so I simply set it three times a month.) )
"It's not a big deal, the concubine heard that Meng Jiang accidentally stepped on Yongjia's skirt in the school a few days ago, thanks to Changle and Yuzhang to break the siege, they were unharmed."
"I didn't know about this matter before, but I heard Meng Jiang say it last night, and the concubine only knew about it, and the concubine came to thank her mother today." Wei Guifei said.
Meng Jiang is the daughter of Wei Guifei, born in the seventh year of Wude, and is now seven years old, and she also went to the princess's women's school to study with everyone.
"Meng Jiang and Changle are sisters, and they are younger than Changle, Changle should take care of her, and the concubine doesn't need to be so polite." Empress Eldest Sun waved her hand, then turned her gaze to Xiao Wei and Yan.
"There's nothing wrong with the concubine, but I heard that my sister is coming to the queen, and I remembered that the concubine hadn't seen Niangniang for a few days, so I came with her to ask Niangniang for peace, and at the same time, thank you Niangniang for taking care of Gao Yang." Wei Zhaorong spoke.
"There's nothing wrong with the minister's body, the main thing is to come and report to the mother about the new clothes and new decorations this year." Concubine Yan Xian said with a smile.
Due to the marriage in Xiangcheng this spring, the queen had too many affairs and was too busy, so the eldest grandson divided some palace affairs and let the people in each palace be responsible for a piece.
"Say, thanks to you recently, if it weren't for the help of the sisters, this palace would be too busy alone." Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
The fourth concubine is really a talent, even if she is a little short-tempered and can't hold her breath, Concubine Yin De is very good at handling things.
Since last year, there have been a lot of chores in the palace, and if it weren't for their help, the eldest grandson would have been really busy alone.
