Chapter 162: There are no fuel-efficient lamps in the harem
Although Song Yao was still kneeling, her waist was straight, and she didn't have the slightest condescending attitude.
After seeing Qin Guiren's appearance clearly, Song Yao understood why the Qin family was willing to spend a lot of money to cultivate Qin Guiren and send her to the palace.
Although Qin Guiren grew up in the north, his facial contours are as soft as a Jiangnan woman, and there is an indescribable style between his eyebrows, but it is by no means the kind of lowly kitsch, but a feeling that is pleasing to the eye and wants to be pampered.
Of course, the beauty of Qin Guiren is not only innate, but also nurture.
Even though Qin Guiren's face was cold at this moment, he retained the charm of a woman.
It's just that the beauty of Qin Guiren is more of a habit to develop, as well as a pretence, compared with Song Yao without makeup, it is inferior.
If it weren't for Song Yao being a widow, I was afraid that Qin Guiren would have the intention of ruining her face.
Qin Guiren looked at Song Yao coldly, but for some reason, he was a little weak after looking at each other for a long time.
At the beginning, the Qin family handed over the family letter, and asked Qin Guiren to be the master of the family, but did not mention why Qin Wuye was sent to prison.
But when Qin Guiren was in the boudoir, he knew what kind of person Qin Wuye was, and he also knew some unscrupulous things that the Qin family did.
But so what?
The Qin family is the mother family of the Qin nobles, and they are her backing up in the palace, and there must be no mistakes.
Otherwise, Qin Guiren will not be able to settle down.
"Presumptuous!" Thinking of this, Qin Guiren slapped on the armrest and shouted: "Give this noble man a palm!" This noble man wants to see if you can be a peasant woman with great ability, and whether anyone will come to save you! ”
"Qin Guiren serves the Son of Heaven in front of the bed, and the women can't fight." Song Yao smiled faintly, looked at the palace maid who was walking towards her, and said unhurriedly: "As long as Qin Guiren does not regret what he did today, the Qin family can still be Qin Guiren's backer, and a few slaps on the part of a woman are nothing." ”
Hearing this, the palace maid stopped, turned her head to look at Qin Guiren, and waited for her master's order.
Qin Guiren frowned, and did not make a decision at the first time.
Song Yao looked at Qin Guiren with an indifferent attitude, forgetting the rules that Mama Xi had taught her at this moment.
In front of a person who is bent on blaming himself, he can find fault in everything he does.
What's more, this is Jinxiuxuan, surrounded by Qin Guiren's people, even if Qin Guiren framed Song Yao with the intention of being unfavorable to the dragon heir, Song Yao would not have a chance to defend himself.
Only by attacking the heart can we save ourselves.
"You dare to threaten this nobleman!" Qin Guiren's hand on the armrest was clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth.
"The women don't dare."
Song Yao lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice:
"The Qin nobles should now put their minds on the dragon heir and spread the branches for the royal family, which is the greatest reliance of the Qin nobles, and the same is true for the Qin family. I believe that the Qin nobles understand this truth, and the Qin family also understands, otherwise the Qin family would not have kept a low profile after the Qin nobles were deeply favored. ”
Qin Guiren took a deep breath and completely understood that he couldn't move Song Yao.
Unless......
Stroking his stomach, Qin Guiren quickly dispelled the thoughts that he shouldn't have.
This child can't have the slightest mistake, otherwise she will be a noble person at most in her life, and she may not even be able to save her life, and the Qin family will completely abandon her.
"This noble man called you here today because the meals you have made in the past few days are very suitable for the appetite of this noble person." Qin Guiren raised his hand and instructed the palace maid: "Look at the reward." ”
The palace maid soon came out with a brocade box and fell into Song Yao's arms.
That's right, it's falling.
If it weren't for Song Yao's fast hands, his chest would definitely be smashed for a few days.
If you can catch it with your hand, it will inevitably leave bruises, but it just doesn't delay your work.
Song Yao had a light smile on her face, opened the brocade box in public, and checked it carefully, but she had an appreciative expression.
"The Qin family is really wealthy, the Qin nobles have been in the palace for a few years, and the ornaments for the dowry have not been rewarded, so they are really pinned on by the mother family." After making sure that there was no problem with the box, Song Yao took out a string of pearls inside and played with the light.
This pearl necklace has a good color and texture, but the beads are too small, and at first glance it is used to reward Qin nobles.
Song Yao doesn't like to wear these jewelry, but she often buys them for rewards or gifts, so she can tell the level.
"Song Niangzi likes it, just wear it and play it, there are many nobles here." Qin Guiren said in a tone of contempt.
"Folk women have always disliked wearing these things, and it is inconvenient to do their work." Song Yao put the necklace into the box, grabbed out a handful of silver melon seeds inside, and chuckled: "I have rewarded a lot of these things for the girls around me, this necklace will go back to add makeup to the girls, so that they can get the joy of the nobles, after all, this thing has entered the palace." ”
Qin Guiren's face changed slightly, and Song Yao was saying that she was shabby in disguise.
But it was only for a moment, Qin Guiren smiled and said: "The mother is casual, but it is just a reward for the next person, it is the same." ”
Qin Guiren made a pun, on the surface he was generous and didn't mind that Song Yao changed hands and rewarded him, but he was saying that Song Niangzi was just the identity of a subordinate to her.
Song Yao didn't argue, after all, in the era of imperial power, even if the unfavored concubine was a woman of the Son of Heaven, her status was much higher.
What's more, Qin Guiren is still pregnant, that is, the mother is more expensive than the child.
"If the Qin nobles have no other instructions, the women will retire." Song Yao bowed slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Qin Guiren is pregnant, it is better for the imperial heir in the womb to rest more, and the women have no blessing to ask for a cup of full moon wine for the little prince to drink, so they can only congratulate the little prince Kangtai in advance." ”
Song Yao's words later made Qin Guiren's heart feel a lot more comfortable.
Since entering the palace, Qin Guiren's greatest wish is to give birth to a dragon heir, and this child is a prince, so he naturally values it more.
"Let's go down." Qin Guiren raised his hand and asked the palace people to help her to rest.
Song Yao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Qin Guiren didn't continue to make things difficult, she would be able to retreat today.
Of course, whether Qin Guiren would find trouble in the future, Song Yao couldn't say, so he could only act carefully.
After kneeling for a long time, Song Yao's legs were a little numb, so she had to rub her knees first.
After slowing down for a while, Song Yao stood up with one hand on the ground, but walked a little swaying.
On the way back, Song Yao met the palace maid in the queen's palace who came to her, saying that the queen was going to summon her.
Song Yao opened the box and grabbed a handful of silver melon seeds to the palace maid, but she didn't ask the queen about the purpose of summoning her.
It was the queen's decree that allowed Song Yao to enter the palace, except for asking her what preparations she had for the banquet, it was estimated that there was nothing else to do.
Just thinking of kneeling again, Song Yao couldn't help but feel sorry for her knees, regretting that she didn't prepare two sets of kneels when she entered the palace.
Kunning Palace is also some distance from Jinxiuxuan, and Song Yao's legs are as if they are filled with lead, and she can only grit her teeth to support it.
The roads in the palace are not direct, and some roads are not something that Song Yao's identity can walk, so it is inevitable to go around in circles, and it took more than half an hour for Song Yao to come to Kunning Palace.
It's just that at this hour, the queen has already taken a nap, and Song Yao has to wait outside the palace.
Fortunately, no one asked Song Yao to wait on her knees, otherwise she was afraid that she would faint from the scorching sun.
However, it is also beneficial to spend money, and the palace maid who brought Song Yao here secretly poured a cup of tea for Song Yao to quench Song Yao's thirst.
But there is only half a cup of tea, probably because she is afraid that Song Yao will be anxious to urinate in a while, and her rudeness will also affect the palace maid.
It wasn't until after noon, after the queen got up and dressed, that Song Yao was summoned.
Song Yao, who hadn't eaten, was still rumbling in her stomach at the moment, but she could only endure it, who asked her not to prepare in advance and hide a piece of dim sum on her body.
"Song Yao, a folk woman, see the queen mother, the queen mother Wanfu Jin'an." Song Yao's regular prostration was much greater than the etiquette to Qin nobles.
"Get up and talk." The queen didn't mean to make things difficult, and her tone was still a little lazy after a nap.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Song Yao saluted again, and then stood up, but lowered her head.
The rules in the palace are that you can't look directly at the face of the dragon and phoenix.
Even if Song Yao wanted to know what the queen looked like, she could only suppress her curiosity, her current status was not enough to compete with the palace rules.
The queen looked at Song Yao, and when she heard the scream of her stomach, she glanced at Ping Xue.
"There are no outsiders here, just sit and talk." The queen said with a kind attitude: "Although this palace is the lord of the six palaces, there are a lot of chores every day, but there is no one who can say homely. If you're not from this harem, don't worry about that much, let's chat with this palace. ”
Song Yao sighed in her heart, but she could only sit down in gratitude, but she could only set up a chair, but it was better than standing and talking all the time, and her legs could finally rest for a while.
It's just that Song Yao slandered in the letter: Accompany the queen to chat about family life, is this to play her rhythm? The emperor's harem, sure enough, does not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
The things in the palace, Song Yao heard that it was extremely dangerous.
But the queen had already spoken, and that was Chrysostom, and Song Yao couldn't refuse.
"This is the honor of the people's women, but the people's women are born in the countryside and have shallow knowledge, so I am afraid that what they say will make the queen unhappy, and I hope the queen can forgive her." Song Yao had to laugh, thinking about how to chat so that it could be a safe topic.
The moment she saw Song Yao's face, a trace of doubt flashed in the queen's eyes, but when she thought of Song Yao's life experience, she didn't think about it further.
The queen smiled lightly and said lightly: "Listening to you, I know that I have read a book, how can I be a country woman?" Let's talk about your past, this palace heard that you have a son, and now you are running such a family business, it must not be easy. ”
Song Yao replied yes, picked the topics he could say, and said some.
However, Song Yao didn't want to talk deeply, so what she said didn't have any emotion, which made people feel bored when they listened to it.
During this period, Ping Xue sent two plates of dim sum and a pot of tea to Song Yao, and Song Yao couldn't help but thank her again.
When Song Yao was eating snacks, the queen also asked a few questions, making people think that she was really interested in these things.
It made Song Yao's heart beat even more, and she didn't understand what the queen's intentions were.
How could the queen of the Lord of the Six Palaces care so much about a cook?
"So, you've met a nobleman. However, this is also the blessing of your mother and son, which ordinary people can't ask for. The queen sighed.
"Yes! The women and dogs are also very grateful to the father. It's just that Engong's whereabouts are uncertain, and he refuses to reveal his real name, but he tells the people that the girl has no chance to repay if she wants to, and the only thing she can do is to help Engong take care of the business to repay the original life-saving grace. ”
Song Yao wiped the corners of her eyes and chuckled: "Let the queen mother smile, but every time the folk woman thinks about the past, she can't help but feel sorry for the dog." It's like waking up from a nightmare, and I don't want to look back on that obscure time. ”
"It's not the palace, let you mention the past." The queen was slightly apologetic, and she couldn't see the fraud at all.
"The women don't dare to be, the queen also cares about the women, and it's too late for the women to be grateful." Song Yao hurriedly stood up in fear, curtsy and said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the women have never been in contact with nobles, and the words are inappropriate, and the queen mother is asked to forgive the women." ”
