Chapter 295: The Imperial Meeting
The family went to the Yangxin Hospital for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and even Shen Zhongxin couldn't wait to put down his chopsticks and came to Haoran House with everyone.
The little maid had already lit up the ice lanterns, and the corridor in front of Haoran Ju also lit more than 30 red watermelon lanterns, and the courtyard was brilliantly lit, full of colors, and suddenly the neon on the horizon was like the stars in the bustling night sky, dazzling.
As soon as everyone entered the courtyard, there was a burst of cheers.
Unable to enter the house to change clothes, the three children first rejoiced, and threw themselves around the ice lantern.
"Let the second uncle bring the firecrackers here, let's put them here!" Jian Wu Jianwen looked at Shen Zhongqi and discussed.
Looking at his son's longing little face, Shen Zhongzhen hesitated.
Boys love firecrackers and buy them as soon as they are young.
Worried that being in Haoran Ju would affect Zhen Shiniang's rest, he arranged for Shen Zhongxin in advance to let him take it back to Xiaoyao Pavilion, and prepare for Chinese New Year's Eve to let him lead Jian Wu Jianwen to put it there.
"Okay." Shen Zhongqi was hesitating, and Zhen Shi Niang had already instructed Dong Ju, "Go to Xiaoyao Pavilion and bring all the firecrackers." He turned around and instructed Qiu Ju to arrange a few clever people to watch, "Be careful for a while, let off the fireworks and go away." ”
"You're not in good health......" Shen Zhongqi opened his mouth to stop.
"It's like dumplings outside, and I can't sleep even if I want to rest." Zhen Shi Niang smiled and pointed outside, "I've slept enough in the afternoon, I'm not sleepy at this time, it's rare for the children to be happy, let them play here." "It's not in Wutong Town, where most of the people are poor, it's a luxury to buy a whip during the New Year, and there are many big households in the capital, and firecrackers have been set off one after another since the end of the year, wave after wave, one after another, endlessly.
Seeing that Zhen Siniang was like a child, she stepped forward with Jian Wu and ordered a second kick with an extended fuse, and then pulled Jian Wu to run to him, holding his shoulders and covering his ears and giggling.
Shen Zhongchi's nose was sour.
She is not born to be quiet, and she likes it too. I also longed for such excitement.
I don't know how long they can live happily like this.
The crumbs of the firecrackers fell on the crystal clear ice lamp, and the candle flame inside was reflected as red as a bloodthirsty sunset, which was extremely dazzling. The garden was suddenly full of flowers, which was dazzling, and Zhen Shi Niang regretted that there was no camera to keep this moment.
“…… That pair of peaches is too ugly, so let's replace this one. Jian Wu wrapped a piece of red silk around the "Lotus Throne" ice lantern carved by himself, and was very dissatisfied that his work was placed in a dark corner. Zhang Luo wanted to change positions with two "peaches" carved on top of each other in the middle of the garden.
That lamp was carved by him for Zhen Shi Niang!
Seeing that his baby son actually said that the lamp he carved was ugly, Shen Zhongchi's face turned red for a while, "...... Your mother likes that. It's right there! Shen Zhongqi said, pointing to a lily lamp carved by Shen Zhongxin in front of him, if you think it is biased, change it with the lily lamp of your second uncle.
Jian Wu was about to ask someone to move the two "peaches", but when he heard that his mother liked it, he was busy.
Seeing that everyone was chattering and tying ribbons to the lamp, and no one was paying attention, Shen Zhongqi put Zhen Shi Niang's ear and asked. "Why do you like that ......" the ugly words under pressure, "...... Something boring? ”
During the day, the little maid took the picture and carved it according to him, and he didn't think anything of it at the time. At this time, it was burned, and compared with the various delicate flowers and birds that everyone worked so hard to carve, it was a bit ...... That's it.
Tedious?
Zhen Shiniang was stunned.
This is Cupid's Arrow of Eros or not. The arrow of Eros connects the two crystal hearts tightly, how meaningful, how romantic?
This guy doesn't understand customs at all!
was also a little tired, Zhen Siniang raised her feet and entered the house.
Is this angry?
Looking at Zhen Shi Niang's back, Shen Zhongqi looked back at the ice lamp.
Simple and bright, simple and generous, it seems, it is not ugly...... There's really a little bit of it, it's charming.
Smiling and shaking his head at Zhen Shi Niang's back, Shen Zhongqi raised his feet and followed her into the house.
The first day of the first lunar month is the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.
Although he holds a lot of power, but Shen Zhongchi's rank is low after all, and the military attache of the second grade is much worse than those nobles of the family, according to this grade status, Zhen Shi Niang can only follow those princely ladies to the queen mother and the concubine Niangniang, but she is deeply loved by the queen mother, and as soon as she enters the palace, she is announced into Cining Palace in the envious eyes of all the ladies.
The concubines led by Concubine Zheng Guifei had already gathered in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
Zheng Guifei was wearing a big red inlaid gold silk Luan Bird Chaofeng embroidered court dress, sitting on the left hand of the Queen Mother, graceful and elegant, dignified and noble, and her peaceful demeanor did not show that the rumors that seriously injured her outside were flying all over the world.
No wonder Banzai insists on making her the queen, but she is still able to overwhelm Qunfang's generosity and calmness in this desperate situation, and she is really worthy of the position of queen.
People can't see anything in good times, but they can see their true colors best in adversity.
In an instant, Zhen Siniang's impression of Concubine Zheng Guifei changed a lot, and when she raised her head, she couldn't help but feel a slight shock when she met her thoughtful and inexplicable gaze.
She still cares about me!
Do you suspect that the rumors outside were put by the Shen family...... Or, the matter of hating the Zheng family for having demons was broken by Jian Wu Jianwen?
Zhen Shi Niang sighed faintly in her heart, "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me." "If she can't be the queen because of this, the Zheng family and the Shen family are completely concluded!
Seeing that Zheng Guifei's eyes had appeared with a smile in an instant, Zhen Shi Niang bowed down generously to her, and turned to Concubine Shen who was standing under Zheng Guifei without a trace, and Concubine Shen had already turned back to chat with the little palace maid.
Instead, Concubine De, who was standing at the bottom right of the Queen Mother, greeted her warmly, "...... I really can't imagine that the famous Darentang was also prescribed by Mrs. Shen, your pills are really unparalleled in the world! Sighing regretfully, "...... With such a high prestige, why didn't Mrs. Shen use her own name in the first place? The tone is enthusiastic and adoring, with a pair of thin red lips, and he does everything he can in the world.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Although this is a compliment, it is too sensitive.
Now the whole dynasty is speculating that the Shen family and the Zheng family have already torn their faces and met each other in order to compete for the rear position, and the Zheng family first stabbed out Shen Zhongchi's subordinates who were privately stockpiling grain in the northwest, and then stabbed out the fake drug incident of Darentang, and now the parties have been wiped out, and no one knows whether Zhen Siniang participated in the manufacture of fake drugs or not, only that this matter was finally over......
And on that side, the Shen family was angry and threw out the Zheng family's demonic affairs.
At this point, these two important figures in the harem are officially matched.
In the end, the deer will die, but there is a lot of excitement.
And Zheng Guifei and Zhen Siniang can still stand here peacefully and greet each other with a smile, and everyone is just careful to maintain the last trace of decency.
Concubine De's words undoubtedly brought this sensitive topic, which everyone was very curious about but had to avoid, to the table, and in an instant, all the eyes in the hall were focused on Concubine Zheng and Zhen Shi Niang.
The Queen Mother frowned faintly.
Zheng Guifei kept a faint smile on her face, and looked at Zhen Siniang gracefully and gently.
Suddenly not noticing the tense atmosphere in the hall, Zhen Shi Niang smiled calmly, "It's the same with my son's name." Darentang has used the name of Jianwen since it opened, and when she saw that Concubine De was about to speak, she changed the topic, "At that time, even Imperial Physician Wen said that my body and bones would not live for a year or two at most, and I was afraid that Darentang would have to go through the procedures again, which would be too troublesome." ”
If you die on the first day of the new year, you will live, and you will not be afraid of bad luck!
Concubine De's mouth was open for a long time, unable to speak.
Zhen Shi Niang had already looked at Concubine Yu, "Is the eighth princess okay?" ”
"Uh, yes, yes." After coming back to her senses, Concubine Yu nodded again and again, "Knowing that Mrs. Shen will enter the palace today, the eighth princess has always said that she will come to give you a big gift." "The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, and the princess and prince are no exception," is long live afraid that her knife will not be well and suffer the cold again, so she is forced to be confined to Yonghua Palace. He took out a delicately crafted peace charm from his sleeve cage and handed it to Zhen Shi Niang, "I heard that Mrs. Shen is not in good health, and when the eighth princess went to Daci Temple to make a vow, she personally asked for a peace charm for you, bless you with a long life." ”
Zhen Shi Niang took it with a smile, "The eighth princess has a heart, and I ask my mother to thank her on behalf of the courtier." ”
chatted with Yu Concubine and others enthusiastically about other things.
The strange atmosphere in the hall that had just been provoked by Concubine De was swept away.
"Shi Niang come and sit." Seeing that Zhen Shi Niang and everyone had finished the ceremony, the Queen Mother beckoned Zhen Shi Niang to come over.
A little palace maid had already moved an embroidery pier and placed it next to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother personally pulled her to sit down.
Everyone's faces changed.
These people, except for Concubine Zheng and a few princesses, are all standing!
“…… The New Year is fine, I heard that your cooking skills are particularly good, what kind of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner you have made. The Queen Mother took Zhen Shi Niang's hand and talked about family life.
Zhen Shi Niang smiled and returned one by one.
"Mrs. Shen has superb medical skills and is highly respected among the people." Just as she was talking and laughing, Princess Changning, who had been sitting upright, suddenly spoke, "You say, is there really a demon in this world?" ”
The voice was terrible and high, and the hall was suddenly silent.
Zhen Shi Niang was also stunned.
That's not a good question to answer.
If there is, the grievances between the Shen family and the Zheng family will be completely settled, and once the fifth prince ascends the throne, the Shen family will be raided overnight!
But if she didn't, how could she feel that in this hall, except for Concubine Zheng Guifei, the other beams of fierce gaze could shatter her corpse into thousands of pieces?
These concubines, looking inconspicuous, but their family backgrounds should not be underestimated, who knows how many people here are thinking about the posterior, the Zheng family and the Shen family have torn their faces, and she can't please her face to defend Zheng Guifei, but she is grandstanding.
Now there are rumors outside, although long live the wishes, but now whether Zheng Guifei can take the throne is still between the two, she doesn't want to offend everyone else in this hall with a word, and she was used as a gunman for no reason.
Yu Guang saw a sharp light flashing in Zheng Guifei's eyes, and she was looking at herself aggressively, when Zhen Shi Niang broke out in a cold sweat...... (To be continued.)
