168 years are quiet
Another night of stormy rain passed, and by the time dawn came, the sky was as blue as water. Du Mingxin and Chen Xi sat in the water pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake in their own garden, spread a felt carpet on the wide stone table, and talked while teasing Brother Kun.
"I asked people to clean up a mountain villa on Yushan Mountain, thinking that the capital would be hot in summer, so you should take Brother Kun to escape the summer. Who knew it didn't work. Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Isn't it good for us to stay with you at home every day?" Du Mingxin smiled and gave him a watermelon field with a small silver fork.
"Deng Wenjiao got married yesterday, who knew that it would rain so hard," she said with a smile, "When I got off the sedan chair and walked to the new house, I saw that the embroidered shoes and socks on her feet were all soaked." When King Ning picked up the hijab and came down, Deng Wenjiao's face was ugly! ”
"You wait and see, the person in charge of Qin Tianjian who counts the auspicious day for her is afraid that he will be unlucky." Chen Xi clapped his hands at Brother Kun and said with a smile, "Come, come to Daddy." ”
Brother Kun was attracted by the sound of clapping his hands, but he couldn't climb alone, so he just smirked and waved his arms at his father.
Du Mingxin protected his son with one hand, and said with a smile: "But the weather is good today, it is more convenient for them to enter the palace to meet him." ”
"Who knows!" Chen Xi smiled, "They have a tough battle to fight today." ”
"Are they going to pick up the kids today?" Du Mingxin frowned and said, "Will the Queen Mother agree?" ”
"I don't know, probably not." Chen Xi shook his head, "Chen Tingyuan was counting on the queen to help them say something, but now it is difficult for the queen to even get out of Kunning Palace, but I am afraid that it will not be of much use." ”
"Still can't get out of bed?" Du Mingxin asked.
"Yes," Chen Xi smiled bitterly, "Father is also very angry." You also know that the imperial doctor who gave you a fetus at that time in the Tai Hospital had the best gynecology treatment, but the Anguo Mansion wanted to send a private doctor into the palace. The father said that he would let the imperial physician and the doctor take a look at the prescription together, but the queen did not let him, looking like he couldn't trust the people in the palace. After a long time, my father didn't want to care about it. ”
"The queen is like this, I'm afraid that there is still Qian Zhaorong." Brother Kun let a big puddle of saliva flow down, and Du Mingxin said while wiping him with a handkerchief.
"She has to think about this matter by herself," Chen Xi said disappreciatively, "She has a discordant relationship with her father, so she can't just let her father live so hard every day." In addition to handling political affairs, there should always be a confidant to accompany his father. Since Qian Zhaorong entered the palace, his father and emperor have been much more relaxed. ”
Men and women look at problems from different angles and have different ideas, and Du Mingxin doesn't want to argue with Chen Xi on this. She turned her head and talked about the things in the palace: "...... There are more and more people coming to the door to give gifts, and there are all kinds of messy excuses. Two days ago, on Mama Cui's birthday, more than a dozen families sent housekeepers and ladies to give Mama Cui birthday gifts. I'm going to push, and I don't stretch out my hand to hit the smiling person, but if I don't push, what will happen to our palace? ”
"It'll be fine after a while." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Two days ago, my father just made a decree to transfer He Nanbu's political envoy Ding Shifeng to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department. Because of the marriage of the fifth sister a while ago, people with active minds will inevitably think too much. ”
"Do they still want to vacate the vacancies of the political envoys?" Du Mingxin smiled, "It seems that the official positions of these families can't reach that level." ”
"The candidate for He Nanbu's political envoy, my father has already decided, and now he has probably set off for his post." Chen Xi said with a smile, "These people don't necessarily want to make up for the lack of political envoys, but they just want to put a long line to catch big fish, and have a good relationship with you first, who knows what will happen in the future." ”
"That's it," Du Mingxin waved his hand and smiled, "It's only been a few days, and I've already had a headache." Our family doesn't do anything like wooing people and holding authority, so I will be sick for a few days. ”
"I'm afraid that even the people who are watching will move." Chen Xi smiled, "Some people can't pull down their faces and can't do things like congratulating Grandma Cui on her birthday, but if you are sick, isn't this a good reason to visit your home?" ”
"So what do you say?" Du Mingxin spread his hands and smiled, "Paste a couplet on the door, 'a righteous body, two sleeves of fresh breeze'?" ”
Chen Xi stroked his palms and smiled: "Lady, this is a very good idea!" I will now order someone to take pen and ink, and personally polish the pen and ink for my husband for the lady. ”
Du Mingxin glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's not serious, it's fun for me!" ”
Chen Xi hugged her and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to live in that Zhuangzi in Yushan for a few days, someone really inquired about touching the door, and you just replied that you were not there." ”
"What about you?" Du Mingxin was a little reluctant to leave Chen Xi alone in the city.
"I'll see you when I have time." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Du Mingxin nodded.
In the palace, Deng Wenjiao came out of Cining Palace with a gloomy face, and regardless of Chen Ting calling her behind her, she went straight to Kunning Palace like a gust of wind.
At this time, the queen had just taken medicine and knew that Deng Wenjiao and Chen Ting would come to visit her today, so she changed into auspicious clothes and was half-lying on the big kang in the banquet room.
She felt that Sen Senran was a little dark in front of her, and thought that she was probably in a bit of a hurry, so she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.
As soon as she calmed down, Deng Wenjiao broke in.
"Why isn't that old woman dead!" She sat down beside the queen angrily, waved her hand and told everyone who was waiting inside to go down, and ordered, "King Ning is following behind, you stop him from calling in." ”
The palace maid and eunuch listened for a while, how could they encounter such an errand when they came back to Deng Wenjiao?
"What's the matter? Which old woman are you talking about? The queen opened her eyes and asked weakly.
"Who else could it be!" Deng Wenjiao walked in a hurry, felt thirsty, and called Gui Yue to come in to serve tea, and continued, "Cining Palace!" It's really going to make me angry, do these people in the palace treat Chen Ting as their own family! ”
"You ......" The queen was about to reprimand Deng Wenjiao, but she didn't mention it in one breath, and she gasped for a long time.
Deng Wenjiao hurriedly sat down beside the queen, gently stroked her back, and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
The queen took a sip of hot tea and felt better, so she spoke: "First, King Ning is your husband-in-law, don't say that he is a prince, that is, the husband and wife of ordinary people, and there is no reason to call him by his name!" ”
"Moreover, King Ning's surname is Chen, he is the eldest grandson of the Queen Mother's concubine, and the only nephew of the emperor, no one needs to treat him as a royal person, he is originally!"
"Hey, you think I don't know these rules!" Deng Wenjiao said dissatisfied, "Today, we entered the palace and went to see the emperor first." After waiting for most of the day in the Qianqing Palace, I asked the little eunuch and said that he was resting in Jingren Palace last night! Auntie, you don't care, just let the Qian family consume it in the palace! ”
