073, it's not that easy
Although the Queen Mother is sick, Aunt Jingxiang is smart and clear-sighted, there is Wu Yi in front of the palace, and Yueying in the harem, and she can't hide any movement from Cishou Palace.
Zhou Zhixi didn't know the doorway, thinking that the Queen Mother valued herself and wanted to keep herself by her side, Wei Li often came to ask for peace, so she could see each other from time to time.
It was the Queen Mother's voice that fell, and Zhou Zhixi immediately got up happily and saluted: "Concubine, thank you for the Queen Mother's love." β
There was a meaningful smile on the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, nodded, and stretched out her hand to pull her up: "Come over early in the morning, the mourning family is now well, and you want to worship the Buddha, the first time you accompany the mourning family, you will rush to copy a copy of the Heart Sutra tonight, it is not good to get to the Buddha, it is empty-handed." β
Zhou Zhixi was stunned for a moment: "Copying scriptures? β
Jingxiang took the Queen Mother's words: "Yes, in the past, the queen mother accompanied the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha, and she also copied it, and the slave maid gave the book to the little master later." β
Wei Li watched here, Zhou Zhixi smiled, and hurriedly nodded: "Then there is Aunt Lao." β
After the Queen Mother finished talking to Zhou Zhixi, she turned around, and when she looked at Yu Lanqing again, the softness and love in her eyes were real: "Look at you, you are so tired that everyone is thin, and it is not better than being sick in the mourning family, there are always a few people in the harem who can help you in small things, don't be so tired of yourself." β
Before Yu Lanqing could speak, Wei Li interjected: "Exactly, my son said that he didn't listen, so he could only ask his mother to take care of her." β
The Queen Mother glanced at Wei Li: "The mourning family is talking to Qing'er, you haven't been busy understanding your own affairs, but you are in charge of the harem." After that, he took Yu Lanqing's hand again, "You don't have time to teach the rules, the mourning family has time, you can rest assured." β
The Queen Mother's voice was small, Yu Lanqing could hear it clearly, her heart was warm, she knew what the Queen Mother was, and she also knew that the Queen Mother had always been measured, and Zhou Zhixi was on the Queen Mother's side, which was naturally not a bad thing.
Zhou Zhixi didn't understand the Queen Mother's words implying that she didn't understand the rules and disrespected the queen, and when she heard the Queen Mother say this, she interjected: "The aunt next to the queen has already come to teach the rules once, I... The concubines bothered to remember it, but they hadn't been able to get used to it yet. β
"It's good to remember, let's do this today, the mourning family is also a little tired, let's go back first." The Queen Mother smiled perfunctorily, obviously didn't care about Zhou Zhixi's words, and it was not good to pick her up alone, so she simply let her go back.
The Queen Mother spoke, Yu Lanqing was the first to stand up, Wei Li also followed Yu Lanqing to kneel down, Zhou Zhixi saw that Wei Li was gone, and hurriedly got up and hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother, and went out with Wei Li's pace.
Wei Li originally walked out with Yu Lanqing, but Zhou Zhixi came from behind, and forced to squeeze into the middle of the two, his face was biased towards Wei Li, and he said with a smile: "Brother Li, I'll accompany you to the Qianming Hall to approve the folds, and I'll help you grind." β
What she called ...
Yu Lanqing frowned slightly, slightly full of footsteps, and heard Wei Li reprimand her in a low voice: "I told you that you are not allowed to call it that, what is it like?" Also, is the Qianming Hall a place for you to mess around? Go back by yourself and copy the "Heart Sutra" that the Queen Mother brought to you is the right thing. β
After that, it seemed that he couldn't stand Zhou Zhixi's chatter, so he hurried away, where was Zhou Zhixi willing to listen, he would rather trot than catch up with Wei Li's pace, seeing that the two of them were far away, Yu Lanqing stopped, turned around and went back to Cishou Palace.
Aunt Jingxiang picked up Yu Lanqing under the corridor and asked with a smile: "The emperor led the concubine away from him, right?" β
Yu Lanqing nodded: "Yes, if you go away, I will accompany the Queen Mother more." β
Jingxiang should go down and instruct the little palace maid next to her to serve Yu Lanqing tea.
Seeing Yu Lanqing coming back, the Queen Mother also straightened up, and the smile on her face was a little brighter: "It's good that they are all gone, just our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, talk about yourself, the people next to you are always uncomfortable here." β
"The queen mother is just right, don't overwork." Yu Lanqing is still worried about the Queen Mother's body, the words of Imperial Physician Liu are still in her ears earlier, more than four months have passed since the Queen Mother's fall, Yu Lanqing looked at the Queen Mother's loving smile, and she was really relieved.
The Queen Mother shook her head disapprerovingly: "Teaching and teaching Concubine Shu, I can't get tired." After that, he looked at Yu Lanqing again, and whispered, "The mourning family is at this age, and those who should live and understand have already understood it, many things can be seen, now that you and the emperor have Yunxi, the mourning family is looking forward to you having another son-in-law, and the concubine emperor next to him is not so concerned, it is not a good thing or a bad thing, but the concubine's temperament, the mourning family can still be cured." β
Yu Lanqing was either worried about the Queen Mother, or afraid of Zhou Zhixi's temperament, so she made the Queen Mother angry: "Concubine Shu was originally born as a princess, and she thought that she was lawless in the Great Zhou, and she knew to be more restrained in front of the emperor, and her sons were afraid... The concubine was offended by the conflict and was angry with the queen mother. β
"Emperor Da Zhou insisted on sending her, but it may not be as simple as fulfilling his sister's thoughts, you just take care of yourself, she is such a little girl, can she turn over the palm of the mourning family?" The Queen Mother laughed at Yu Lanqing's blind worry, but her words amused Yu Lanqing.
Also, there is no one who the Queen Mother can't govern.
Yu Lanqing has been taking care of the Queen Mother, and now that the Queen Mother is better, she is even more dependent on Yu Lanqing in her heart, and she will only let her go back after dinner.
Zhou Zhixi followed Wei Li all the way, but was still driven back to Yang Palace by Wei Li to copy the "Heart Sutra", these Buddha proverbs are difficult to read and write, Zhou Zhixi couldn't sit still, and complained to the Queen Mother for tossing people, go to the Buddha and worship the Buddha, why do you have to write these useless things.
Yongge gave Zhou Zhixi a lamp on the side, and whispered: "The princess should write it quickly, it can be regarded as a good deal if she finishes writing it early, the queen mother is old, so she naturally wants to believe in these more, the slave maid heard that the emperor is the most filial, if the princess can please the queen mother in front of the queen mother, and have a face, the queen mother will naturally speak well for the princess, the emperor knows the benefits of the princess, and naturally more people come to our palace, the slave also heard that the queen is because of the queen mother's joy before leaving the cabinet, so the queen mother is trying to sit in the middle palace." β
Hearing what Yongge said, Zhou Zhixi was also a little moved, and picked up the pen she had just thrown away suspiciously and continued to write: "Really? That... Can the Queen Mother like me? I'm not from Da Wei. β
"It doesn't matter where the princess is from, as long as the princess can help the emperor, wouldn't it be good?" Yongge smiled, added water and grinded, "The princess is useful to Da Wei, useful to the emperor, that is the queen mother's favorite, think about it carefully, why did the queen mother choose the queen at that time?" Isn't it because the queen's mother's family helps the emperor and can fight for the emperor on the battlefield and calm down the civil strife? As long as the princess behaves well, with the princess's appearance and talent, she will definitely be able to please the queen mother. β
Zhou Zhixi nodded again and again, feeling reasonable, and didn't feel so irritable when he looked at the scriptures in front of him: "What you said makes some sense, behind me is the entire Great Zhou, the two countries are married, maybe they will attack Qi together in the future and divide the land, I am by the emperor's side, that is thousands of troops, the queen mother must understand." β
Yongge responded and said yes, and gave Zhou Zhixi some spices to calm her mind and help her stabilize her mind and copy well.
Zhou Zhixi hadn't written so many words since she was fourteen years old, and after she finished writing, she only felt pain in her wrists, eyes, and discomfort anywhere, so she fell asleep early.
On the second day, I had to get up early and go to Cishou Palace to wait for the Queen Mother, Yongge chose a plain dress for Zhou Zhixi, Zhou Zhixi glanced at it with sleepy eyes, and said: "What are you looking for, what are you doing dressed like a sister-in-law, I am accompanying the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha, and I don't really want to become a monk!" Go change to a goose yellow one, it's also refreshing. β
The chant did not move: "Princess, the Buddha must be dressed plainly, it seems that the princess is attentive to the Queen Mother's instructions, and she is sincere to accompany the Queen Mother. Where does the princess's appearance need too gorgeous clothes to set off, even if she wears such plain clothes, she looks ten million times better than the harem concubines. β
Zhou Zhixi was still unhappy: "Can't you change it again?" I don't like cyan, gray, the old ladies in the palace wear this. β
Yongge was also helpless: "The slave and maid rummaged through, only this one, the princess's plain clothes, there are really not many." β
Zhou Zhixi sighed, seeing that the hour was not early, and he couldn't afford such a delay, so he could only compromise and put it on, freshen up as soon as possible and take the scriptures copied yesterday to Cishou Palace.
When Zhou Zhixi arrived, the Queen Mother hadn't gotten up yet, and Aunt Jingxiang gave her a blessing under the corridor and whispered: "The master is early, so I'll have to wait for a while." β
Zhou Zhixi didn't understand: "But... Yesterday, the Queen Mother asked the palace to come over earlier.,How did the Queen Motherγγγ Haven't gotten up yet? β
Jingxiang still maintained a decent smile: "The queen mother's body is just right, and now she is old, and there are some people who can't get up for a while, so the master can wait for a while." β
After that, Jingxiang turned around and entered the house, and didn't say anything to let Zhou Zhixi go in and sit down, just left their master and servant, standing under the porch, behind them was a huge empty courtyard, and there was no one to greet them.
Yongge blinked, some comprehension, dragged Zhou Zhixi, who was about to get angry, and whispered: "The aunt next to the Queen Mother must have been instructed by the Queen Mother to do this, maybe she is teaching the princess rules, maybe she is testing the princess something, the princess and bear with it for a while, stand for a while, and it will soon pass." β
After all, this is Cishou Palace, if Zhou Zhixi loses his temper, it will reach Wei Li's ears in a moment, thinking of Wei Li's reputation for filial piety, Zhou Zhixi bit her lip and endured it, took a deep breath, straightened her waist and stood under the corridor.
The Queen Mother had actually woken up, and was sitting by the window, looking at the situation outside through the window paper, Jingxiang was next to the Queen Mother, and whispered: "How long is the Queen Mother going to let Concubine Shu stand in the rules?" β
"How long can she stand on the first day?" The queen mother's triumphant smile hung on her lips, and she took the small porridge handed by Jingxiang and drank it slowly, "After eating this, go out, teach the rules slowly, you can't become a big fat person in one bite, her temperament falls into the hands of the mourning family, even if she uses a knife to sharpen, she has to grind it for her, relying on what princess status, she dares to be disrespectful to the queen, and she wants to snatch the emperor away, but she can't do it?" Even if the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven comes down to earth, she has to make the rules clear to the mourning family! β
The queen mother protects the queen's heart Wei Li is the clearest, so she handed over Zhou Zhixi to the queen mother to teach, Wei Li raised her hands and feet in favor, the queen mother's temperament is also very good, the harem disputes have been so far, and she has cultivated a good patience, Zhou Zhixi is in the hands of the queen mother, and she can't ask for any sweetness.
It was cold in the morning, although it was already early summer, but she still felt that the vest was cold, Zhou Zhixi's legs were sore, her stomach was full of whining temper, and her face was so stinky, she couldn't help it, and turned around and asked Yongge: "How long do you have to wait?" You go and ask, is the Queen Mother up, her legs are too sore. β
As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the door opening, and Jingxiang came out with the queen mother in her arms.
Zhou Zhixi hurriedly squatted slightly, and was so anxious that she almost didn't stand up: "The Queen Mother is well." β
The Queen Mother glanced at her, holding back a smile in her heart, but her face was still kind and concerned: "Have you waited for a long time?" β
Zhou Zhixi pulled out a wry smile, took advantage of the situation to wrap around the queen mother's arm, and helped the queen mother to walk out: "It didn't take too long." β
On the way to the Baohua Palace, the Queen Mother didn't talk much, but it was Zhou Zhixi, who chattered with the Queen Mother and said that she fought side by side with Wei Li at the border pass, as if they had experienced living and dying together, which was equivalent to three lives.
Zhou Zhixi said that she was up, but the Queen Mother interrupted her: "There is the Baohua Hall in front, there is an artificial lake behind the hall, which is particularly beautifully repaired. β
Zhou Zhixi was interrupted, and the topic of Fang Cai couldn't be picked up, so she nodded and said yes, and entered the hall with the Queen Mother.
Zhou Zhixi has never been to such a place, and there is also a Buddha hall in Da Zhou, but it is a place where the concubines and concubines go, praying that his brother can treat them well, and pray that the ministers who were in charge earlier can treat them well, and now that Wei Li has helped her brother regain power, these concubines and concubines love to go to that place even more.
The royal brother said that they had no choice, and they didn't dare to say what they wanted to say to others, so they could only tell the gods.
Zhou Zhixi doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to understand, since she can remember, her brother has succeeded to the throne, and the concubines left by her father have all lived in the westernmost concubine hall of the palace.
Zhou Zhixi felt that she might never go to that kind of place to worship Buddha in her life, what could a Buddha statue made of cold gold do for her?
But today, she still walked into the Baohua Hall, looking at the Bodhisattva Buddha full of compassion or angry eyes, under the gaze of so many eyes, her heart was briefly shocked, and soon, she returned to calm.
The "Heart Sutra" she copied had been taken forward by Aunt Jingxiang to be burned, and Yongge helped Zhou Zhixi to kneel behind the Queen Mother, although there was a futon under her knees, Zhou Zhixi still felt that Fang Cai's soreness was not relieved at all.
If she wants to please the Queen Mother, it seems that it is not for her to sit and chat a few words and say something pleasing to her, but after tossing for an hour, Zhou Zhixi has already begun to want to retreat.
This way is really not so easy, but why does Yu Lanqing look so easy when he walks up?
Zhou Zhixi couldn't understand, it was really meaningless to kneel here, the Queen Mother pinched the Buddhist beads and recited the words, praying for the great Wei Dynasty for thousands of generations, praying for Wei Li and Yu Lan to be clear and beautiful, and praying for the blessings and blessings of future generations.
Zhou Zhixi, who read the Queen Mother, couldn't hear clearly, but it fell in her ears, like a soothing incense to help her sleep, she didn't wake up in the morning, and she yawned even more at this time, carefully covering it with her hands, trying to lower her body for fear of being seen by others.
But her small actions couldn't escape Aunt Jingxiang's eyes at all, but she was afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother, so Jingxiang didn't remind her to expose it.
"Princess." Yongge called her, whispered and careful, raised her eyes to look at the back of the Queen Mother, for fear that Zhou Zhixi would fall on her heels, "Don't sleep, don't sleep." β
Zhou Zhixi was so sleepy that her eyelids fought, and when she heard the song calling her, she thought she was leaving, but she suddenly came to her spirit, but she saw that the Queen Mother was still kneeling like Mount Tai, where did she have the slightest intention of leaving?
"I can't do it anymore." Zhou Zhixi turned around and hummed with Yongge with a crying voice, "My legs are no longer conscious, Yongge, my legs are unconscious, I'm so sleepy, I can't do it, really~"
As he spoke, he leaned on Yongge's shoulder, put his arm around her neck and whispered.
The singer hurriedly pulled Zhou Zhixi up, her eyes touched Aunt Jingxiang who was looking over here, and hurriedly said: "Princess, aunt looks at us, hurry, kneel quickly, just insist on persevering, think about the emperor, princess, it's time to persevere." β
Zhou Zhixi was really about to cry now, squinting her eyes and glancing at Jingxiang, but she saw that Jingxiang was looking at herself with an amiable smile, I can't say why, Zhou Zhixi had goosebumps in an instant, and she was sleepy and woke up most of the time, supporting her body and moving her unconscious legs, with a struggling look on her face.
"Get up and stand for a while."
The Queen Mother suddenly said something, so frightened that Zhou Zhixi covered her mouth and screamed quietly, then patted her heart and whispered: "I... The concubine stood at the door for a while, and soon came in. β
"Go ahead." The Queen Mother bowed her head and did not look back, but listening to the tone, she was not angry.
Zhou Zhixi really couldn't do it, almost the whole person hung on Yongge's body, and helped her up several times, and basically dragged her to the bench under the verandah of the hall to sit.
Yongge has been serving people for many years, and she can still hold on to kneeling for a while, but her legs are slightly numb, she squatted down to rub Zhou Zhixi's legs, at first she was unconscious, and soon, the soles of her feet stabbed like a thousand needles, Zhou Zhixi screamed in pain, pulled Yongge's arm tightly, and bit her lip to endure.
She's never knelt like this before!
I'm afraid these legs are going to be wasted!
The strong stinging pain subsided for a long time, Zhou Zhixi only felt that the whole person was out of strength, leaned against the pillar with her eyes closed, and patted her thigh angrily: "I'm not here with the Queen Mother!" I don't please the Queen Mother anymore! Chant, it's too hard, it's too hard! As she spoke, her eyes were red, and the princess, who had never experienced a little bumpy in her life, really felt that the current thing was already a big hurdle in her life.
Yongge hurriedly wiped Zhou Zhixi's tears and smoothed her breath: "It's good to be patient, princess, it's just that the Queen Mother wants to worship the Buddha today, we have already accompanied the Tao for a while, and we will be able to go back to the palace soon, tomorrow the Queen Mother will not come, everything will be fine, if the princess gives up halfway, maybe the Queen Mother will be angry, if the princess persists, the Queen Mother will definitely understand the princess's filial piety." β
Zhou Zhixi was so aggrieved that she twitched, and her tears fell down: "That... That if, in the future... Are you still coming? β
The chant was speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "At that time, the princess must have been by the emperor's side." β
Their master and servant were muttering quietly outside, and when Jingxiang saw Zhou Zhixi going out, she hurriedly helped the Queen Mother up, so that the Queen Mother could also relax and relax, and whispered: "The Queen Mother has never knelt for so long, can her body still bear it?" β
The Queen Mother smiled, walked two steps to the door, eavesdropped on the movement outside for a while, and then patted her legs and walked around: "Listen, crying nose." β
Jingxiang couldn't help but smile: "Concubine Shu is too arrogant, I'm afraid she won't be able to endure the hardships." β
"Her girl is smart, she must persuade her to stay with the mourning family, even if the girl doesn't persuade her, she herself should learn the rules from the mourning family, and she can't leave if she wants to!" The Queen Mother waved her hand, like a naughty old child, not hesitating to kneel on her own legs, but also to teach the spoiled little girl outside the sect.
"After suffering enough in the mourning family, she knew that Qing'er was forgiving, and she never cared about anything with her, lest her mind was full of trouble in finding Qing'er, looking for trouble in Li'er, and first precipitating and precipitating her temperament, otherwise Li'er really wanted her to serve, and the mourning family would not be." The Queen Mother said carefully, estimating that Zhou Zhixi should be almost crying, and hurriedly asked Jingxiang to help her kneel back again.
Yongge persuaded for a long time, wiped away Zhou Zhixi's tears, sat with her and calmed down, and couldn't tell that she had cried, so she helped her go in again.
As soon as he entered the hall and saw that the Queen Mother was still kneeling, Zhou Zhixi's mouth was deflated, and tears almost rolled down again, thinking of the words of the song, Zhou Zhixi took two breaths and held back, lowered her eyes and walked behind the Queen Mother to continue to accompany her.
The Queen Mother's worship of the Buddha did not end until it was almost time to eat lunch, leaving Zhou Zhixi to eat lunch together, and then Zhou Zhixi was carried back by a sedan chair.
When the news reached Fengyu Palace, Xiuxin's heart was very hard to endure and want to laugh, but she still couldn't hold back her words, and said it to Yu Lanqing vividly.
Yu Lanqing raised his head and asked softly, "Concubine Shu didn't make a fuss and didn't go anymore?" β
"Not really." Xiuxin shook her head, "Ming'er should still go to Cishou Palace to serve." β
Yu Lanqing signaled that he knew, lowered his eyes and continued to put the finishing touches on the bedclothes, which should have been done a long time ago, but because too many things had happened, it was delayed until now.
Yu Lanqing cut off the excess thread, folded the bedding clothes and put them in the brocade box, finally smiled with relief, and handed it to Xiuxin: "Send it to the emperor." β
