Chapter 295: The Errand of Shame (Second Update)
It's just that she arrived at the Ganlu Hall early in the morning of the second day, but the face of the queen of heaven is not very good-looking, she leans on the table a little weakly, listening to Zhou Shanggong and Concubine De talking.
“…… A few days later is the death of the first emperor, although there are old rules in previous years, but the sage has instructed before, this year I am afraid that I will go to visit the emperor's mausoleum, so I have to ask the mother to show it. Zhou Shanggong said.
Seeing that the queen of heaven rubbed the corners of her forehead, she didn't speak for a long time, and Concubine De also said on the side: "The concubine also heard the sage mention this matter some time ago, saying that she was going to the emperor's mausoleum this year to pay respects, and also instructed Liu Quan to prepare to rely on Luan. ”
The queen of heaven beckoned to Gu Mingzhu, asked her to come forward and press her forehead, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if you don't, as long as the strength is light, just hold it down." ”
Gu Mingzhu carefully sat down beside her, stretched out her hand and gently helped the queen press the corner of her forehead, but she listened attentively to the death of the first emperor.
"My body has been in trouble these days, I'm afraid that I'm cold, the doctor has come to see it a few times and prescribed some decoction, but I haven't seen much better after eating, I am always lazy and can't lift my spirits, but the death of the first emperor can't be delayed." Only then did the queen open her mouth, with a helpless face, "Think about it, don't dare to be sloppy about such a big matter, just leave it to Concubine De to take care of it." ”
Concubine De was startled, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "The concubine doesn't dare, how can such a major event of worshipping the ancestors and paying homage to the tomb be ......"
The queen of heaven interrupted her weakly: "The sick people in this palace are gone, where can there be others, you are a concubine, and there is nothing wrong with helping to deal with the affairs of the tomb." ”
"It's just ......" Concubine De lowered her eyebrows and looked embarrassed, "This should be ......"
Paying homage to the emperor's mausoleum is a major event to worship the ancestors and pray for it, and it should be done by the queen of Zhangluo, which is a traditional rule in the palace, but now the queen of heaven actually wants to hand it over to Concubine De to take care of it.
Zhou Shanggong's face was full of surprise.
The queen of heaven looked flat and waved her hand: "That's it, my body really can't stand the toss." ”
As she spoke, she instructed Xu Siyan: "After a while, I will ask Xu Yuan to ask for a pulse, I always feel dizzy and a little unable to sit still." ”
Seeing that the queen of heaven said this, Concubine De had no choice but to bend her knees: "The concubine obeys the order." ”
It's just that she quickly glanced at Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting on the side with her eyes down: "It's just such a big thing as sacrificing the emperor's mausoleum, and the concubine is afraid that a person will miss something after all, so it's better to ......."
The queen of heaven glanced at her: "Why, I am thinking about my people again." ”
She pointed at Gu Mingzhu: "You can't forget, not long after the death of the first emperor is the death of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, Mingzhu should also go back to the house to prepare." ”
She said and sighed: "She is also a miserable person, she has never even seen her mother's face since she was a child, and she should have fulfilled her thoughts." ”
Concubine De blinked and said with a smile: "My little thoughts, I was seen through by the mother at a glance, it was the first time to handle this, and my heart was empty, so I thought about asking for the grace of the mother, so that someone could help me take a look." ”
The queen of heaven half-closed her eyes: "That's it, I also know that you are the most cautious, Mingzhu can't go over to help, just let Chu Chu go over to help you, she is also smart and capable, if you have anything, just tell her to help take care of it." ”
Concubine De was clearly stunned, and after a while, she smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”
The queen of heaven instructed Zhou Shanggong again: "If Concubine De has any orders, you just do it, I haven't been feeling good these days, so you don't have to talk back to me about everything." ”
Zhou Shanggong bowed his knees.
When Concubine De and Zhou Shanggong retreated, the queen's face looked much better, and she pulled Gu Mingzhu with a smile and said: "Tomorrow, you will go out of the palace and go back to the county lord's mansion, and take care of your aunt's death, and I will send someone to pick you up on the day of the first emperor's death." ”
Gu Mingzhu originally thought that she would ask for the grace of the queen of heaven and go out of the palace a few days later, but she didn't expect that the queen of heaven had already thought of it, and hurriedly leaned over: "Thank you for the grace of Niangniang." ”
The queen of heaven smiled and said: "Yes, you have always been filial, if I don't fulfill you, you shouldn't, I have already instructed the Shanggong Bureau to prepare some objects, and you bring it back as a little bit of my heart to your mother." ”
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly got up and thanked him, and gossiped a few more words, before exiting the Ganlu Hall and returning to the Qianqiu Palace.
Princess Anping heard that Gu Mingzhu was going back to the house again, so she took her hand with a reluctant face: "I'll remember it again as soon as you leave, this time it will take several days to come back, how boring." ”
Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Your Highness hasn't already made paper kites, why don't you try it first in the next few days while the weather is fine, and then go over with Your Highness when I come back." ”
Princess Anping thought about the big paper kite that she asked Si Si to make a few days ago, and she was interested again, and nodded again and again: "Then I'll try it first." ”
In her heart, as long as she doesn't learn her homework and write big characters, she will be happy to do anything.
At this time, he heard Zhou Chuchu on the side open his mouth without yin or yang: "It's still the lord of Lingling County, and he has only entered the palace before he can go out of the palace and return to the house every three or five days, unlike me, I got the order of the queen of heaven, and assisted Concubine De Niangniang to handle the matter of worshiping the emperor's mausoleum." ”
Although she said this, the smugness on her face couldn't hide it, she raised her eyebrows, and pressed the red treasure gold on her head: "Previously, the lord of Lingling County helped Concubine De Niangniang to send the dogwood sachet of the Double Ninth Festival, and almost had an accident, this time the ancestor worship is not those sesame trivial things, I have to pay more attention, I can't make trouble for Niangniang anymore." ”
The bitterness and nakedness in these words were revealed, and Princess Anping was about to get angry when she heard it, but Gu Mingzhu held it down, and she smiled: "That's natural, the queen of heaven values Chu Chu, so she will let you help Concubine De take care of such an important matter." ”
Zhou Chuchu bent the corners of her lips arrogantly, her heart was full of joy, Gu Mingzhu was valued by the queen of heaven before, and she took everything with her, which had already made her full of resentment, and she had been thinking about how to get rid of Gu Mingzhu in her heart, but she didn't expect that she would be picked by the queen of heaven to do something about sacrificing the emperor's mausoleum, which taught her to be really proud.
Counting Gu Mingzhu just helped send a dogwood sachet, and walked around with the queen a few times, it is not a shameful errand, where can it be compared to this, this is a first-class event, if this errand is done well, where will there be any Gu Mingzhu in the eyes of the queen of heaven in the future, I am afraid that she will only praise her, stay by her side and trust and reuse.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chuchu only felt that the resentment of these days had dissipated a lot, and he was already full of ambition, waiting for him to show his skills to the people in the palace.
She didn't notice that Gu Mingzhu glanced at her with pity, turned her face and said something else to Princess Anping.
