Chapter 393: Salutation
The snowflakes fluttered for two days and two nights, and the capital became a world covered in silver.
No one wants to go out in such weather, there is a charcoal fire burning in the house, nesting on the big kang near the window, whether it is reading a book, or doing needlework, even if it is a melon seed, talking is more comfortable than going outside.
Of course, some people have to go out.
In an alley, the closed gate opened from time to time, and horse-drawn carriages drove out of it.
It turns out that this is Laba, and all the princes have to enter the palace, and the palace will hold a lap sacrifice today.
The imperial dining room set up several large iron pots in the courtyard, and began to boil laba porridge before dawn.
In addition to the princes, all civil and military officials must be present.
After the ceremony, these laba porridges will be awarded by the emperor to the major nobles and civil and military officials.
It is a great honor to be able to receive Laba porridge rewarded by the emperor.
Although the taste is not necessarily better than that of home-brewed products.
The princes followed the emperor and led the civil and military officials to participate in the ceremony, and the princesses went to their mothers-in-law to show their filial piety.
Of course, before that, you have to say hello to the queen first.
The queen and Manqinghuan were tinkering with osmanthus cakes in the store.
In August, the queen instructed the palace people to collect a lot, dry it in the sun, add honey and store it.
Because she loves to eat the osmanthus cake she makes.
In the courtyard, the little yellows sang the newspaper, "Princess Jin, Princess Qi, and Princess Wu ask the queen for peace." ”
The king of Chu had bad legs and feet, and the couple's carriage was still halfway there.
Queen Mu was still fiddling with her osmanthus cake.
"Ah Cheng, you went and took their gifts for me."
At that time, Queen Mu and Man Qinghuan were making osmanthus cakes next to the coffee table under the windowsill, and the people in the courtyard outside the window lattice hole heard it clearly.
Several princesses changed their faces in unison.
Aunt Cheng is a close confidant of Queen Mu, and she once followed Queen Mu in Ciyun Nunnery, and she has a very high status by Queen Mu's side.
But no matter how high the status is, they are also subordinates, let them salute a subordinate, isn't this queen deliberately manipulating them.
Queen Mu did have such thoughts.
Back then, Concubine De and Concubine Gao conspired to kill the prince, and pushed a substitute for the dead ghost to come out to take the blame.
Later, he murdered Xiao Chen.
Although there is no evidence, Queen Mu knows that it is them.
This account has not been settled with them, so I will collect some interest from their daughter-in-law first.
Of course, Concubine Jiang Lifei did not participate in the incident back then, and when the two murdered the prince, Concubine Jiang Lifei didn't know where to eat soil.
Shen Yashan didn't suffer from the disaster of the pond fish, don't forget her father, Second Master Shen, but the enemy of the Xiao Mu family.
And Shen Yashan's frequent provocations are quite happy, and Queen Mu has also heard of it.
But no matter how reluctant they may be, the ritual must be carried out, and the action must be of the right standard.
Aunt Cheng represents the queen, and if she doesn't salute or act perfunctory, she is disrespectful to the queen.
The three of them were unwilling, but they saluted Aunt Cheng respectfully.
Aunt Cheng stood so humiliated, accepted a salute from them, and then sent the three of them out.
The three princesses went to their mother-in-law's side.
The daughter of his own uncle married by King Jin, this concubine Wan Guifei is the aunt of Princess Jin.
As soon as Princess Jin entered Concubine Wan's bedroom, she saw her aunt and mother-in-law, sitting on the beauty couch.
And the tears came down.
"Good boy, is Yao'er bullying you, I'll help you talk about him later."
Princess Jin was more pampered when she was in her mother's house, and King Jin pointed to the support of her grandfather and uncle, where did she dare to treat this cousin harshly.
Princess Yijin often has a small temper, and sometimes comes to Wan Guifei to complain.
Princess Jin was in tears, and Concubine Wan Guifei was a husband and wife again.
Regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, let's calm people down first.
"What!"
Princess Jin wrung her handkerchief with her hands and said hatefully, "It's the old woman of the queen, she actually asked me to salute a subordinate." ”
"What?"
The noble concubine stood up from the beauty couch.
"This damn old nun!"
The noble concubine doesn't care whether Queen Mu has lost her hair or not, anyway, she is a nun when she enters the nunnery.
"Leave this matter alone, I'll be angry for you."
The noble concubine was thinking about how to get this city back.
Dealing directly with the queen, that is unlikely.
That old nun was already shrewd, if it wasn't for Xiao Chen, who had just given birth to Xiao Chen, and her energy was a little lacking, they wouldn't have been able to calculate the prince.
I have been in the nunnery for more than ten years, and I have become more shrewd.
The old nun was shrewd, and his daughter-in-law had no more than brute strength, but she didn't have much brain.
I don't know where the rumors about Manqinghuan's brains came from.
The noble concubine calculated, how to make the new love ugly in front of the public.
As for Princess Qi, it was Concubine Li De who was selected by thousands of people for the benefit of her son, not because she liked this person.
Therefore, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will maintain a superficial friendship.
In fact, everyone in their bones looks at who is not pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, Princess Qi will not be as good as King Jin and blatantly sue her.
In that case, Concubine Li Defei would only laugh at her for being useless, instead of helping her find a way to get "justice".
Since it is chosen by thousands of people, there are naturally many hearts.
"Mother!"
Princess Qi saluted Concubine Li De in a proper manner.
The standard action can be measured with a ruler.
Just after the salute, I began to rub my waist.
As soon as Concubine Li Defei saw her posture, her face darkened on the spot.
Is that little waist made of tofu or mud, and it's tired like that?
Yin and Yang said to the palace maid, "Hurry up and give a seat to Princess Qi, don't tire the princess." ”
Princess Qi hooked the corners of her lips almost invisibly, and a flash of contempt flashed in her eyes.
The attitude is respectful.
"Mother, you misunderstood, just now I went with my sister-in-law and seven brothers and sisters to ask the queen to say goodbye, the queen mother is in the main hall, and I don't have time to see us with my five brothers and sisters to make pastries, so I let Aunt Cheng accept the gift on my behalf......"
The latter was angry for a moment, and accidentally twisted his waist, and before he could say anything, Concubine Li Defei slapped the table.
"What? That old nun actually asked you to salute a subordinate? ”
In terms of the title of Queen Mu, Concubine Li De and Concubine Wan Guifei are surprisingly consistent.
Tell her daughter-in-law to salute her subordinates, that old nun, this is a slap in the face!
Concubine Li De was so angry that she couldn't do it.
"You wait and see how I get revenge on you."
Well, at this point, Concubine Li De and Concubine Gao are surprisingly consistent.
If it weren't for this similar smell, they wouldn't have hit it off back then, and they plotted together to kill Queen Mu's eldest son, the former prince Xiao Qi.
Besides, Shen Yashan rushed to Concubine Jiang Lifei with a stinky face, and met the tenth princess who came to greet Concubine Jiang Li.
The tenth princess used to like Shen Yashan very much, and when Xiao Sheng was planning to marry Manqinghuan, he was still very upset about Shen Yashan.
Later, Xiao Sheng married Shen Yashan as he wished, and the tenth princess didn't know how happy she was.
