Chapter 68: Meeting the Queen Mother
Song Yixiao didn't want to wade into the muddy water of Hengshan Wangfu from the bottom of her heart, but the so-called people walking by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet, she is no longer a problem of walking by the river, she simply grew up in the river - she hasn't gone ashore yet!
So after perceiving Wei Mengying's plan, although she was secretly worried about Lu Guanlun, she had no choice but to take care of Lu Guanyun first.
I don't know if Lu Guanyun was told before he came, but after Wei Mengying left, he stuck to Song Yixiao tightly.
I have to feed my sister when I eat, I have to pour water for my sister, and I have to accompany my sister when I play, and when it is time to settle down at night, I have to sleep with my sister - Song Yixiao coaxed left and right to no avail, so I had to rely on him.
She is now "recuperating", so she has nothing to do, and it doesn't matter if her brother is entangled tightly.
That's it, I don't have the time to ask Wei Chan about it.
When taking a bath the next day, Song Yixiao took off his coat and listened to Lu Guanyun's urging outside the bath: "Is my sister okay?" Why hasn't my sister come out yet? β
She sighed and said to Jin Xun helplessly: "Go back and talk to Mother Zhao, and ask her to help ask if your cousin's birthday banquet was bumped!" β
Jin Xun found an opportunity to bring the words to Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother went to the side to knock on the side, but Wei Chan always denied it with a smile.
Mother Zhao is just a slave in the end, Miss Table refuses to say, she can't force Miss Table to say, right? had to just give Song Yixiao his life.
Song Yixiao glanced at his younger brother who was grabbing his skirt to hug, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Do you want to ask your mother if you have an air tube?" β
She is now completely encircled by this little ancestor!
Zhao's mother reported the matter to Wei Mengying according to her words, and before Wei Mengying had time to summon Wei Chan, the Wei family came first, saying that it was Mu Da. Grandma's maiden nephew's wedding is imminent. Grandma planned to take her children to drink wedding wine, so she asked Wei Chan to go back a few days in advance to prepare.
Song Yixiao was suspicious, it was Wei Chan who was wronged, and quietly sent someone back to Wei's house to say it, and the Wei family found an excuse to pick up people.
"But when Mother Zhao went to ask, she said everything that should be said and could be said, how could my cousin not even show a little mouth?" Song Yixiao was puzzled, "It looks like he's complaining about me, but my cousin is not that kind of person!" β
But no matter how confused she was, it was not good to stop her cousin from going to a foreign house to say goodbye, so she had to pack a few things as a gift and let Wei Chan bring them.
The day after Wei Chan left, the summons of the Queen Mother mentioned by Jian Xubai before arrived-the Zhongguan did not bring Yi Zhi this time, but only conveyed the meaning of the Queen Mother: "On the birthday of the princess of Hengshan the previous time, the two princesses of Changxing and Yushan came to congratulate her, and after returning to the palace, they told the queen mother a lively story. The Queen Mother heard this, thinking about the marriage of the mansions this year, several county lords and ladies have either not seen the Queen Mother, or have not seen each other for some days, so they plan to summon all the ladies who have been married by Yi Zhi in three days, and meet you in the Qingxi Hall of Mingren Palace! β
Wei Mengying warmly entertained the lieutenant official, and after sending off the guests, she called her daughter to come to her and tell her carefully-at the end, she suddenly remembered something: "Miss Sikongjia seems to have brought you a message, Miss Jiang wants to meet you?" β
"That's the thing." Song Yixiao frowned slightly, "If I want to talk about this, I just want to ask my mother for advice, this Miss Jiang didn't have a deep friendship with me before, but she was quite responsible at the banquet!" After the banquet that day, he was very good with me, but who would think that now he seems to hate me...... Mother, what do you say is going on? How do I explain this to her? β
Wei Mengying sneered: "What is there to explain? At the banquet, she is a high-ranking lady, and you are under the fence; She is the princess of Quasi-Wei, and you are joining in the fun. As a result, now that feng shui is taking turns, she was unelected as the princess and became the laughing stock of everyone, but you are unexpectedly married. You want to make her happy, unless you're worse than her! β
"Sister Jiang doesn't look like such a person......"
Song Yi was interrupted before he finished his joke: "Okay, the question now is not what kind of person she is, it's that this day is very bad!" You go and coax her that day, and you will enter the palace the next day! In case she messes around and delays your return home; Or maybe she gets emotional and hurts you like Princess Changxing, what should I do?! β
Wei Mengying understated the clapper, "Push it off!" Not to mention meeting the Queen Mother, you haven't even participated in the palace banquet. How much do I have to teach you in just three days? Where did you get the kung fu to perfunctory the one surnamed Jiang? β
"Butβ"
"No, but!" Wei Mengying was very resolute, "If the surname Jiang really treats you as a friend, knowing that you will enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother the day after tomorrow, he should take the initiative to cancel or move the date!" She wants to hate you for breaking your appointment, which shows that she only cares about herself and doesn't think about you at all! What is there to associate with such a friend? β
She felt that her daughter's vision was too narrow, "The identity of Concubine Xian's niece is indeed not low, but the identity of a girl depends on how well she marries!" This surnamed Jiang has already been rumored to be the princess of Quasi-Wei, but now she is almost defeated by the lord of Nanzhang, and the future of the future, if there is no accident, it will definitely not be good for you! What are you still afraid of her for? When you get out of the pavilion, girls who don't have her status are not qualified to come to you to see you! β
"What about Miss Wei?" Song Yixiao knew that it was useless to mention Jiang Muyao again, so she had to change her approach, "She has a good relationship with Sister Jiang, and she is the princess's own sister!" β
Wei Mengying disagreed: "It's okay! I will do this difficult thing for my mother for you, and I will see you in the future, you just have to put the responsibility on my head! The summons of the Queen Mother and the appointment between the girls, and the change of their own mothers, which is not the same as me? Anyone who is a little more sensible should understand! β
glanced at her daughter and taught earnestly, "Those who don't understand either don't really associate with you, so they are particularly harsh; Either it is small and easy to be offended! These two types of people, even if they are passable on the scene, they are not suitable for deep friendship! β
Song Yixiao was in a mess in her heart, but she couldn't resist her, so she had to ask: "I listen to the meaning of Miss Sikongjia's words, Sister Jiang thinks I have offended her, mother, you don't let me go to see her, the people sent to talk more mellowly, don't offend her more, so that I won't even be able to compensate for my sins in the future!" β
He added, "It's better to make another appointment, it's convenient for everyone." β
WEI Mengying. Full of promises: "Can my mother still harm you?" Rest assured! β
Turning his head, he told Bo's mother, "You don't have to offend that Jiang Muyao clearly, but don't be too used to it-the acting princess tried her best to stuff her daughter to King Wei as a princess, what is the idea, who doesn't know?" Although Concubine Jiang Xian is not the biological mother of King Wei, she has been raised in infancy until now, and she has long been a loss of both glory and loss! Jian Xubai is a person from the prince's side, how can he let Xiaoxiao get close to the person surnamed Jiang! β
What's more, the daughter of the eldest princess robbed Jiang Muyao's prospective fiancΓ©, how could she not be a little defensive and hostile to Jiang Muyao's friend? The eldest princess of the acting country and the eldest princess of the Jin kingdom are sisters-in-law, Wei Mengying doesn't want her daughter to offend her mother-in-law's own sister before she passes the door!
β¦β¦ The mother's hard work, Song Yixiao will be deceived to death.
The three-day preparation time passed in a flash, and on the day when the Queen Mother summoned her, she got up before dawn, bathed and changed clothes, dressed up, and after cleaning up, she rushed to Wei Mengying with Lu Guanyun and asked her mother to help her palm again.
Wei Mengying seized the time to point out the taboos in the palace, and saw that the time was almost up, and the people who went to inquire about other houses also came back to tell them, saying that the people who were far away from the palace gate, the young lady's car had already left the house, and then said: "You go, remember what my mother told you, be careful in everything!" β
The queen mother took the initiative to summon her, and she took the carriage of Hengshan Palace, so it was very smooth to enter the palace.
The imperial city of this dynasty was passed on from the previous generation, because there was Yidi in the middle of the Central Plains, after the great Rui Dingding, in order to show the recovery of the rivers and mountains, inheriting the crown, so the palace name regulations have not been changed.
Only the palace where the queen mother lived, the previous dynasty called Renshou Palace, but this dynasty only has Mingren Palace - this is because the original Renshou Palace, when the former dynasty Xiyong fell in the foreign invasion, it was personally raised by the queen mother who listened to the government at that time. burned, and then carried the young emperor into the fire, and both were martyred.
Later, Darui recovered the imperial capital, because Renshou Palace had been destroyed, he renovated the Huishu Palace, the residence of the Queen Mother in the early years of Xiyong, and renamed Mingren Palace to worship the Queen Mother.
When Song Yixiao was led to the Qingxi Palace by the palace people, the county lord of Nanzhang and Pei Yourui had already arrived first.
It's not that she came late, but that she can't compare the conditions of these two - these two were brought by the eldest princess of the acting country and the eldest princess of the Jin country in person.
Although it is said that her entry into the palace today is smooth, but in the end, she is a courtier, how can she not need to be through layers of etiquette? The two eldest princesses can drive straight in, even if they arrive at the palace gate one step later, they will arrive before her.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't care about such a moment, and when Song Yi finished the salute with a smile, she said kindly: "Come on, the mourning family has long wanted to see what the girl in Ah Xu's eyes looks like!" β
"Not only is the queen mother curious, but the daughter-in-law is also looking forward to it early in the morning!" The queen mother wants to see her granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, the two daughters have arrived, and of course the daughters-in-law will not be absent, and now it is Queen Su who is speaking, "Look at this water and spirit, Ah Xuan grew up in front of his mother, and he has eyesight!" β
The queen said so, and her subordinates Cui Guifei, Jiang Xianfei and others also echoed it.
"Before, Princess Changxing went to Hengshan Mansion to trouble me, and she also did something to me." Regarding the queen's attitude, Song Yixiao was not surprised, "Even if this is done for the queen mother and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the queen will not be able to embarrass me." β
She is also concerned about the attitude of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.
One of these two raised Jian Xubai; One is Jane's mother. The former is noble, and the latter is a golden branch and jade leaf.
If she has a bad impression of her, even if Jian Xubai doesn't treat her badly in the future, she will have a hard time.
But the more important the person, the later he spoke-the concubines praised each other, and even the princess said: "This girl has a good bearing, but she is worthy of Ah Xu." β
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, who had been caressing the lynx on her lap, raised her eyes, looked up and down Song Yi smiled, and said casually: "Look at it, it's quite sensible, it's just too sensible, and it can't help but make people feel distressed." β
These words are neither salty nor light, and they can't hear the joy and anger - but the people in this hall basically know what she means: my prospective daughter-in-law is sensible, and she never mentions the grievances she suffered in the hands of Princess Changxing, and I am distressed as a mother-in-law!
The Empress Dowager drank tea quietly, without saying a word, the acting princess, Cui Guifei and others, intentionally or unintentionally, all looked at Queen Su secretly -
