Chapter 90: Listening to the Play
A few carriages were parked in front of the palace gate, and the old ladies of various prefectures had entered the palace to listen to the drama again, and the palace people had long been accustomed to it.
Within a certain period of time, the Queen Mother suddenly liked which corner, and she had to listen to it once or twice a day. It's not enough to listen to it myself, but I have to call the old ladies from all over the province to listen to it together.
Just looking at the carriage parked in front of the palace gate, I know that there are many people who have come today.
In the Queen Mother's Palace, the big drama has not yet started, and the old ladies of various provinces are still gossiping with the Queen Mother.
Most of the old ladies in the various prefectures here are about the same age as the Queen Mother. Among the younger generation, Mrs. Duzhen Guogong Su alone seems a little abrupt.
Everyone was talking, and Mrs. Dusu didn't seem to have much communication with Pei Xuanjing, who was standing behind her. rarely took the initiative to talk to people, most of them were the right prime minister's wife next to her who took the initiative to ask a word or two, and Mrs. Su replied a sentence or two.
Such a meaningless small talk is only a matter of two sentences, and Mrs. Right Xiang turned her head to deal with others.
The Queen Mother asked all the old ladies one by one, and she remembered the people and things of each family clearly. It can be seen that although the Queen Mother and her old people have been listening to dramas all day long over the years, their memory is still good.
The Queen Mother looked at Mrs. Su and asked half-jokingly: "Ah Long, why didn't your old lady come, I have posted this post a few times, and I haven't seen her shadow, but I have an opinion on my old woman!" ”
Mrs. Su hurriedly got up and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, I don't mean this, just because of the recent alternation of spring and summer, the old lady is a little in poor health, and it is really inconvenient to go out. ”
"Okay, okay, but just ask casually, look at what you're nervous about, you don't even call your aunt! I don't have to joke with these juniors! The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Yes, auntie." After speaking, she didn't know what she was talking about, and Mrs. Su hung her head and stood by.
Although she is not the proud daughter of the sky, she is not far behind, as the daughter of the Su family, she has been smart and clever since she was a child, and whoever sees it should not boast a few words. There are even rumors that she is the queen candidate, she was the pride of her parents, and thought that the Su family would produce a woman like the queen mother.
But now she doesn't even dare to say more, and I don't know what her parents will think.
The Queen Mother sighed silently in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "This is Jing'er!" ”
"Yes, auntie." Mrs. Su said and gave in slightly.
"Little girl Pei Xuanjing, meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an."
"You've grown so big, do you remember the last time I saw you...... It's probably that high! The Queen Mother was gesturing as she spoke.
Everyone greeted each other again, and after a while, everyone followed the Queen Mother to Changyin Garden to listen to the play.
If you really want to listen to the play, where you can't listen to it, you have to bring the girl of the right age at home to listen to it. I'm afraid that the only one who can listen carefully to the play is the Queen Mother.
Everyone's minds were not here, and no one paid attention to what was sung on the stage, as if they were all waiting for something to prove their judgment.
Sure enough, not long after sitting down here, someone from the palace came to report, and several princes came to say goodbye to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled: "Look, this is knowing that I have a lively place here, and I want to come over and take a look, please come in first!" ”
Everyone knew that this was just a deliberate coincidence, but they didn't say anything, and only smiled and echoed a few words.
After a while, a few people walked in, in addition to the three adult princes, they were followed by one person who came in, and several princes greeted the Queen Mother first.
Mrs. Su, who had been sitting quietly, held the tea bowl in a little panic, and did not drink it, but held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. If you look closely, you will see that her hand holding the tea bowl is slowly shaking.
Pei Xuanshu saw Mrs. Su at first sight, but he had been looking at A-Niang since he came in, but she didn't even bother to glance at her. followed the three princes to greet the Queen Mother, and then met the old ladies present one by one, and finally stopped in front of Mrs. Su, hesitated and shouted: Mother.
Mrs. Su didn't lift her eyelids, only used her nose to make a hmm.
Although he expected this to be the case, he still had hope, Pei Xuanshu paused, and when he looked up again, he couldn't see the momentary discomfort. Then he shouted, "Big sister." ”
Pei Xuanjing smiled and nodded, let Pei Xuanshu sit down and talk, and gave him the snacks placed in front of him. Pei Xuanshu took them one by one, but he didn't eat them, he just looked at Pei Xuanjing, but his face was not as stiff as Fang Cai.
Mrs. Su sat on the side, listening to the whispered chatting between the two sisters and brothers, and the tea bowl in her hand was already empty, and she didn't even notice it.
The Queen Mother asked a few words casually, and then left a few princes alone.
The stage continued, and the fifth prince couldn't help but say after hearing a few words: "Grandmother, you can't do this drama team!" This singing Zhao Dong is far from coming! ”
Listening to the play, I was fascinated, I ignored the five princes, and after the corner sang this sentence, the queen mother saw that it was the five princes who spoke, so she glanced at him, and said regretfully: "Pure nonsense, what do you know, this is also said in the past, in this world, how can you find a Dong family!" ”
The fifth prince smiled, what do I know! I don't understand anything, you all just treat me as a child, in fact, I'm not too young! I've all been to Qinglou to drink flower wine and listen to small songs, I don't know anything!
Thinking like this, he took two steps forward and said with a smile: "I can't find Dong's family, but I can find Dong's apprentice!" Have you forgotten the man I mentioned to you last time? ”
"Get out of the way, I can't even see it!" The Queen Mother didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, and while stretching out her hand to drag the fifth prince to the side, she continued: "I haven't heard you mention such a person. ”
The fifth prince flicked his sleeves and completely blocked the front of the queen mother, and said angrily: "Grandmother, how can you forget!" That's what I told you when I came back from Jinju last time! It's the apprentice of the Dong family called Xiao Hongye, why did you forget it! ”
"As soon as you say this, I remember, recruit into the palace another day to sing a song!" The Queen Mother replied very casually, obviously coping.
"Grandmother, you old man want to listen, I'll go find it for you another day!"
Although the fifth prince knew that the queen mother was mostly dealing with herself, she still agreed seriously, so she could go out and play for a few days!
Xiao Yuxuan, the fourth prince, who was accustomed to seeing the five princes coquettishly cheating, was full of disdain in his eyes, and casually glanced at everyone present, but found an interesting thing. But I also understood in my heart, no wonder I recruited them at this time, it was for this. I looked at all the nobles present with great interest, I don't know which one of them is his future concubine Xiao Yuxuan?
The second prince, Xiao Yurui, looked at the fifth prince and the queen mother with a smile on his face from beginning to end, and several old ladies present nodded secretly.
Married to the royal family, although it is not their turn to choose which prince, it is better to know something in advance than to have a black eye.
