XVIII. Woe
The days pass quickly, Yunhua is also passing leisurely, I don't know if it's her illusion, she always feels that even if it's nearly the end of the year, but this thing is not much, every time she thinks of something she hasn't done, the house is already arranged, although Yunhua is thinking about whether it is Mo Chang's doing, but in the end she still can't think of the reason, so she simply doesn't think about it.
During these days, there is nothing big about Jinling, if it is really said, I am afraid that the news of the return of the Xiao clan who guarded the southern border to Beijing was originally going to come to Jinling to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve, but this year's winter is cold, although the Xiao clan left early, but it was still blocked by ice and snow and delayed.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, as usual, a night banquet was held in the palace, but this time it was not like the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the royal family gathered a little.
Yunhua entered the palace early because of Queen Wang.
In the Fengluan Palace, the earth dragon inside was burning warmly, and the queen and Yunhua were sitting on the same side, all of them were the same dignified.
"I didn't know before, but this Jinling is no different from the desert when it is cold." Yunhua turned slightly sideways through the window, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, the white snow had already covered the entire Jinling.
The queen looked at Yunhua's expression, and she couldn't help but smile, and said, "This year is also unusually cold, how do you feel after all these years?" ”
Yunhua knew that the queen was not only asking about the weather in Jinling, but naturally there were others, so she knew it and said with a smile: "But that's what it looks like, he doesn't like it anymore, but in the end, it's the emperor's marriage, and Daddy's side, if it's really a bad treatment, it's hard to explain it on both sides." ”
The queen sighed when she heard this, and said: "In this way, it's good, An's side is also very quiet, I think because of that child, I also feel that I can steadily suppress you, so there is no big move." ”
"That being the case, the mother doesn't seem to be very happy?"
The queen knew that Yunhua was a clear-minded person, and she didn't hide it from Yunhua, so she said: "Although the palace is quiet, I think it is also the credit of King Zhan, and in the palace, Concubine An is a little uneasy." ”
Yunhua didn't say much when she listened, just listened to the queen continue.
"You also know, this Concubine An is also because of An's family, so she was able to live in the palace for a long time, but not long ago, her body was not good, and she asked the imperial doctor for consultation for many days and it did not get better, the abbot of Fahua Temple in the palace said that there were traitors who did evil, this emperor came to the whole palace atmosphere, and secondly, it was also for the sake of the whole An family's face, and the villain was found in Xu Chongrong's room, and now, Xu Chongrong's life was also ended in the cold palace a few days ago, but the matter was not over."
Yunhua listened, frowned, and said: "This Xu Chongrong is the only daughter of Dali Siqing, and she has been famous for a long time, is it too deep a grudge with Concubine An, or is it ......?"
The queen also sighed helplessly, and said: "Why doesn't this palace think so, but the emperor's holy decree does not allow others to discuss this matter anymore, so this matter should be Xu Chongrong's own incomprehension, and he did such a foolish thing, but Concubine An was a little unforgiving, and seemed to want to pull Xu into the water." ”
Yunhua was also shocked when she heard this, and when she saw that there was no one else in the house, she said: "If I remember correctly, this Xu Chongrong's mother and Niangniang's mother are sisters of the same mother, Xu Chongrong also has some relationship with Niangniang, and Concubine An's purpose is ......."
The queen nodded and said: "Although the An family has been looking at the spring breeze in the court recently, the emperor still made a move, some people of the An family were arranged to go to the north, which is where General Su has been guarding, and when they go, the highest position is no match for General Su's henchmen there, and they are pressed everywhere, but they can't come back without the emperor's order, how can they be happy in their hearts." ”
Yunhua listened to it, but she understood something, but she always felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't say it.
"The northern border is peaceful, and the emperor is just fine, but Concubine An is really not very peaceful these days, An Ning is the concubine of Duke An and the niece of Concubine An, so it is inevitable to blame you for a while, you should be careful." The queen couldn't help but be a little worried about Yunhua, and instructed carefully.
"My province, An's branches and leaves are so lush, I will naturally be careful."
The queen looked at the sky outside the window and said with a smile: "It's not early, let's go to Fengyu Pavilion, I think King Zhan is also about to enter the palace." ”
Yun Hua just nodded when he heard this.
As night fell, the royal family also came one after another, and they exchanged pleasantries because of Mo Yao's arrival.
Yunhua sat on the left side of Mo Chang, and the Xi Zhen cloth dishes on the side were not bothered, and they were happy.
On the other hand, An Ning, because she is pregnant, there are many people who are not talking, while smiling and coping, while looking at Mo Chang from time to time, it is good to get a look from the other party.
Above, the Queen Mother and Concubine An are all in the list, Yunhua just looked at the two carefully, but I had heard of it before, only that the two of them were not dealt with when they entered the palace when the first emperor was still the prince, the Tang family and the An family are both first-class families, and no one can overwhelm anyone on the side of the mother family, as for the favor of the first emperor, although it is to give more to Concubine An, but Concubine An has no children so far, and the Empress Dowager Tang is also the personal mother of today's saint, so that the superior opinion.
"Ning'er, you are pregnant now, what else is wrong?" Concubine An and An Ning are both the main branches of the An family, and they are very close.
"Back to the concubine, Erchen was a little uncomfortable before, but fortunately, my sister took care of it, and the prince was also concerned, so now it is better." An Ning replied with a smile.
"It's good to be like this, and it's also the concern of King Lao Zhan in his busy schedule, otherwise it will give people a chance to take advantage of it, hurt the blood of King Zhan's mansion, and also hurt Ning'er's body." Concubine An's words meant something.
Yunhua just put down the wine cup in his hand by himself, ignoring the concubine An above, but the other party didn't want to let go.
"Why didn't Princess Zhan speak today, but seeing that everyone was concerned about Ning'er, she was apprehension?" Although Concubine An was smiling, the meaning of her words was ruthless.
Yunhua looked at Concubine An fearlessly, and said with a smile: "Back to the concubine, the retainer was already clumsy, and now that my sister is helping the retainer, where can I go as the concubine said." ”
"Well, today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, but just listen to you alone, and give others a chance to say a few words." Although the Empress Dowager Tang on the side was also smiling kindly, she provoked Concubine An to laugh and stop talking.
Yunhua retracted his gaze, inadvertently glanced at Mo Chang on his side, and met his eyes, the meaning in which Yunhua couldn't see through, so he simply didn't look at it.
Yunhua looked behind him and asked Xi Zhen, "What about Gantang?" ”
"Just now she said that she had eaten too much tea before she came, and now she went to change her clothes, and Xu Ye saw this scene for the first time, and she was nervous." Xi Zhen didn't notice anything unusual and joked.
Yunhua nodded, and didn't want anything else.
The silk and bamboo orchestras are staggered, and the singing and dancing are also non-stop.
I don't know how long it took to go, Yunhua was a little drunk from the warm wine, but he was awakened by two exclamations on his side.
"Side Concubine!"
"Ning'er!"
