Chapter 211: Prayers
Guo Yuling read it out one by one according to the prayer post, the eldest princess Fangyi leaned on the pillow, and when she heard the familiar name, she didn't care, Guo Yuling would handle it properly according to the practice of previous years; When she hears an unfamiliar name, she asks a question or two.
"Zheng Erpin, champion and first, Huo Sijin, the eldest daughter of Huo Jiangyan, the head of the Hanlin Academy."
When this name was spoken, Princess Fangyi's brows moved slightly, and she asked, "Is that the Miss Huo who once made Buddha fruits in Yongji Temple?" ”
Guo Yuling said: "The eldest princess has a good memory, it is this Miss Huo, and the Queen Mother once summoned her when she was in Yongji Temple. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Yuling paused and reminded: "After that time, she never went to Yongji Temple to teach monks to make Buddha fruits, eldest princess, look ......"
Outsiders did not know about what happened in Yongji Temple that day, and they thought that Huo Sijin could be summoned by the Queen Mother, and he was in the eyes of the Queen Mother.
But for a female official like Guo Yuling, who grew up in the palace since childhood, these things are clear at a glance.
If that Miss Huo was really favored by the Queen Mother, she wouldn't have even stepped into the palace gate in the future.
Thinking about that summons, Huo Sijin not only did not impress the Queen Mother, but provoked the Queen Mother's dislike.
The eldest princess of Fangyi snorted and said, "It's also a drill camp, but it's a pity that it's used in the wrong place." ”
Yes, if anyone treats the Queen Mother as an old lady from an ordinary big family, it is a big mistake.
The eldest princess Fangyi said with a smile: "If she shows her talent in front of the palace, the palace may still be able to show her a whim and reward her with a little face, but she prefers to be high, hehe, the palace doesn't remember which lady the queen mother has promoted in the past ten years." ”
Guo Yuling saw that the eldest princess's mood was finally better, so she joked: "You can underestimate her again, look, isn't this sending you a greeting note to the house?" ”
The eldest princess Fangyi thought for a while and said, "Only hers, is there Huo Yuan's?" ”
Guo Yuling burst out laughing and said, "Huo Yuan is afraid that he won't dare to come in front of you, right?" ”
The eldest princess of Fangyi also smiled, at last year's plum appreciation party, King Qing stood on the other side of the lake, and several ladies stretched their necks to look over and saw her coming, and the rest pretended to look at the flowers and enjoy the scenery, only that Huo Yuan, who looked at people and saw that he was divine, but he didn't notice that the eldest princess was standing behind her.
By the time Huo Yuan found out, the ladies were already bowing their heads and snickering.
"Then invite Huo Yuan over this year, along with her niece", Princess Fangyi said lazily, "Huo Yuan is not young, I heard that she has not yet been married, and the palace wants to be a matchmaker for her." ”
Guo Yuling was stunned, the eldest princess clearly didn't like the two ladies of the Huo family, why did she not only send them invitations, but also be a matchmaker for Huo Yuan?
But she immediately understood, maybe the eldest princess wanted Huo Yuan to marry as soon as possible, so as not to spread rumors and rumors that would affect Prince Qing.
Guo Yuling didn't dare to ask again, and put the Huo family's post and several others together.
Zhanyu didn't come to the eldest princess's mansion until the evening, and the house was setting up a meal, and when she saw him coming, the eldest princess Fangyi pulled him down with a smile, and the gloom on her face was swept away.
After the two had dinner, the eldest princess Fangyi told Zhan Yu that the emperor knew about the injury of the Duke of Min before the cabinet.
As for the other words of the Queen Mother, she didn't say a word.
Zhan Yu still had that breezy look, and he said, "Thank you, eldest princess." ”
Eldest Princess Fangyi's heart was sour again, she didn't know what other people's husbands and wives were like, but she thought that at least she wouldn't be as polite as her and Zhanyu.
Maybe this is the so-called meeting like a guest?
She didn't know what to say to Zhanyu for a while.
simply put Guo Yuling's words behind him and asked about Zhanhuai: "Is the fifth uncle's residence still proper?" There are two houses outside the city, and the people who take care of the houses are reliable people, so why don't you let the fifth uncle live there? ”
Zhan Yu thanked him again and said: "The eldest princess is worried, he lives safely, it is a house that I let people rent, a separate courtyard, easy to enter and exit, if you move out at this time, the landlord will not agree, and the second will also attract attention, let him live there first, if it is inconvenient here, then I will bother the eldest princess." ”
He only said that it was a rented house, and did not mention the Huo family.
The eldest princess Fangyi was not suspicious, she said with a smile: "You are really, next time there is such a thing, just tell me, it's not that there is no house, where is it still used to rent a house outside, who knows if those houses are comfortable to live in, how old the fifth uncle is, he can't be wronged." ”
Zhan Yu smiled: "He defeated the Japanese people this year, and he has made war exploits, the eldest princess doesn't need to treat him as a child anymore, and he is also fifteen years old and has already tied his hair." ”
"It's just a bundle of hair, and there is no crown, in the eyes of my brother and sister-in-law, he is still a child," said the eldest princess Fangyi, calling the chamberlain beside her, and said, "You let the kitchen cook a few Fujian-style dishes and dim sum tomorrow." ”
The chamberlain went down to pass the word, and the eldest princess Fangyi gently held Zhanyu's hand and said, "I'll accompany you to see the fifth uncle tomorrow, speaking of which, I, who is a sister-in-law, haven't seen him yet." ”
Zhan Yu's brows moved slightly, he didn't expect the eldest princess to want to see Zhanhuai, he hurriedly said: "That's not necessary, the fifth brother quietly entered Beijing, the eldest princess saw him at this time, a little inappropriate, but I am afraid that it will fall into the ears of someone with a heart, or wait until the next time, when he is entering Beijing in the bright light, let him come to the mansion to meet the eldest princess." ”
Although she thought that Zhan Yu might refuse, when these words really came out of Zhan Yu's mouth, Princess Fang Yi was still a little sad.
She and him, after all, are still separated by a mountain.
She remembered what the Queen Mother said to her in Cining Palace today, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She had long known that she was a superfluous person, and after her mother gave birth to four royal brothers, she gave birth to an extra daughter; After the husband got married, the extra wife by his side.
For the exhibitor, of course, she is a superfluous person.
She is the superfluous daughter-in-law of the Zhan family.
She held Zhanyu's hand tighter, and suddenly asked, "I heard that there are no caring people around to serve the horses in the Guogong Mansion, so why don't I pick two in the mansion and send them to you." ”
Zhan Yu's eyes still didn't have the slightest wave, he smiled and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest princess, I usually have nothing to do, in the house, I just read and practice calligraphy, Ah Bing and Ah Deng have followed me since childhood, I am used to it, just let them serve." ”
Ah Bing and Ah Deng followed Zhanyu from Fujian, and the eldest princess inquired that the sons of the Zhan family had two servants around them, and these two were the people who had been with Zhanyu since childhood.
