Chapter 17: Something Happened at Home?!
After a while, Princess Changping walked in with a graceful smile, and bowed down under the Danqi: "Erchen knocks on the queen mother, Wanfu Jin'an!" ”
Qiu Yulan saw her from afar on last year's Halloween Festival, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and she would take a closer look and see that her eyebrows were like green feathers and her face was like hibiscus; Tied up a double ring to look at the fairy bun, wearing a flower crown on his head; Wearing an apricot-red placket with narrow sleeves, the chest exposes the belly pocket of goose yellow embroidered begonia flowers, the arm is tied with brocade silk, the waist is tied with colorful silk, the green and white skirt is tied underneath, the skirt corner is dark with golden bells, and there are bells when walking, revealing a bit of girl's delicate and lively in elegance and calmness.
"In the end, it was the person who was personally cultivated by the Empress Dowager Gu." In terms of appearance, Changping is actually not as delicate as Yongfu, but in terms of bearing, the elegant and graceful Princess Changping is more in line with the style of the emperor in ordinary people's imagination than the Yongfu princess who jumped out. Qiu Yulan retracted her gaze and thought, "Of course, this is also because Empress Dowager Gu raised her in the hope that she could come in handy, so naturally she refused to raise Princess Yongfu like Queen Jiang, but it hurts, and Princess Yongfu can do whatever she likes." ”
But I heard the queen ask indifferently: "What is the matter with you coming over?" ”
"After returning to my mother, my daughter came to give you good news on the orders of the emperor's grandmother!" Princess Changping respectfully said words that surprised both the queen and Qiu Yulan, "The second sister-in-law was a little out of honor when she asked the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, and the imperial grandmother ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor, and the second sister-in-law was diagnosed as being pregnant for more than a month!" ”
"Really?" After hearing this, Empress Jiang's whole face became gloomy!
The Bei Que hall was quiet for a while, and Qiu Yulan, who was sitting at the bottom, was calm and silent, and at the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Princess Changping's forehead, and a little cold sweat oozed out, which showed the panic in the heart of this seemingly calm golden branch and jade leaf at the moment.
Qiu Yulan didn't know very well that Empress Jiang had been pitted by Empress Dowager Gu when she was a teenager, so her heirs were difficult, so she had always hated things like Empress Dowager Gu's Tianding. I only thought that the queen promised to give Princess Changping a decent salute for the Seventh Prince to continue to overwhelm King Zhou, but Princess Changping immediately came to tell Princess Yan that Tang Xinyao was pregnant...... You must know that the queen's niece Jiang Qiyun married before Tang Xinyao, and there has been no movement yet!
"Whether it's intentional or unintentional, Princess Changping will be slapping her face." Qiu Yulan muttered in her heart, "I don't know if the queen will be angry, desperately not to pave the way for the Seventh Prince, but also to give her a good look?" But no matter how domineering the queen is, she shouldn't be willful in this kind of business, right? ”
She pretended to be a quail here and waited for the queen to return to calm, but Princess Changping understood very well that the queen would not be simply angry or angry at all, I am afraid that it was the most regrettable thing in her heart, so she looked at her nose and nose and heart, and was very well-behaved!
After a long time, Empress Jiang said expressionlessly: "Since this is the case, let's do it according to the rules." After speaking, he glanced at the little palace maid at the entrance of the hall, "Go and tell the Lin family." ”
Lin is the queen's henchman and the one who takes care of the six palaces on behalf of the queen.
Princess Changping cautiously thanked the queen for her kindness on behalf of Tang Xinyao - the queen said lightly at this time: "Get up and speak." ”
Princess Changping, who was already kneeling with a little numb legs, still didn't dare to take it lightly at this moment, and only dared to get up after kowtowing again, trying to maintain her demeanor without exposing the numbness of her joints: "Son-in-law, thank your mother!" ”
"Chang Ping, it's time for you to descend too." Empress Jiang's seemingly casual words made Princess Changping's face suddenly change, "This Manchu Dynasty civil and military, as well as the new science and technology scholars, do you have anything to look at?" ”
Princess Changping reluctantly smiled and said, "Son-in-law thanks to the mother's care!" It's just that the sons and daughters were nurtured and cultivated by the imperial grandmother, and now they are reluctant to leave the imperial grandmother, so they ......"
"The younger brothers and sisters below you have also reached the age of marriage, if you don't descend, will you block their good days?" The queen interrupted her coldly.
Princess Changping almost wanted to vomit blood, but this reason made her unable to shirk the perfunctory at all, so she had to say: "The queen mother suddenly mentioned this matter today, and the sons were really at a loss, so I beg the queen mother to give the sons a few days to think carefully!" ”
Under normal circumstances, she should say things like "everything is decided by the queen mother, and the children are only the life of the queen mother", which not only conforms to the mainstream idea of "parents are in charge of marriage matters" in this era, but also seems that she is reserved and pure and doesn't want men at all - but a mother like Queen Jiang, who knows if she will be quickly allowed to make a mess by the queen as soon as she says such a thing...... Even if it's not messy, it's a dispensable person?
Therefore, the princess weighed it, and she didn't care about being secretly teased by others, and directly said, "Since the queen mother gave me the opportunity to choose by myself, then I have to think about picking a good one."
"Also, you were raised by the queen mother, and you want to go back to discuss with the queen mother." Empress Jiang squinted her eyes and looked at her playfully, "Then you can go back and give the palace a letter in two days." ”
“…… The sons and daughters are considerate of their mothers! "I didn't expect it to be so easy to pass, Princess Changping couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed to thank her.
When Princess Changping left, Qiu Yulan also proposed to retire.
Empress Jiang's face was not very good when she heard that Tang Xinyao was pregnant, and she didn't keep her, but said: "The meeting gift after you entered the door, this palace has already prepared." As for the sixteenth daughter-in-law, I will ask someone to take some nourishing things from the library in a while, and if you bring it back, you will say that the palace will reward her. ”
"Yes!" Qiu Yulan responded, and when he saw that the queen had nothing else to say, he bowed down and retreated, and went out with the palace people.
When I went outside, I saw the queen rewarding her with a meeting gift, and I couldn't help but cry and laugh a little when I slipped through the jewels, and couldn't help laughing: "I took a carriage when I entered the palace today...... "Even if I am willing to walk back, I can't fit it!"
"Don't worry, the maid has already sent someone to find the eighth prince of Jiang in the Royal Forest Army, please ask the eighth prince to find you a palace car and find a few more people to send it." The more familiar palace maid Ni Jin came up and said, "In the past, when the mother had a lot of rewards, she did this. ”
Qiu Yulan hurriedly thanked her and took off a jade bracelet to give her away - her identity is not as good as before, who in the court and the opposition doesn't know that the queen loves Jiang Yashuang's nephew the most? Ni Jin refused to accept it at this moment: "I have already taken many benefits from the young lady, how can I ask for such a precious thing from you now?" It's just sending someone to run an errand. ”
"If you don't accept it, you'll see me, but I brought this bracelet into the palace to give it to you today, do you see how much it flatters your wrist?" Qiu Yulan pretended not to like it, Ni Jin saw that she really wanted to give, so she happily accepted it, and she had to reciprocate her by whispering a few words: "Although it is said that every young lady enters the door, when she comes to see Niangniang for the first time, Niangniang has a reward." But no one has as much as you, and no one has as much as you! It shows how much the mother likes the young lady! ”
"This is the mother's pain nineteen, how can I be?" Qiu Yulan didn't take this seriously, the younger generation in the eyes of the queen must be Princess Yongfu, the second is Jiang Yashuang, and the third is Princess Chunfu...... After that, other nephews, nieces, nephews, and nieces...... So many blood relatives here, niece and daughter-in-law? God knows where it goes? At present, this extraordinary glory is just a wife and a husband.
However, as a young granddaughter-in-law, the meeting gift overshadowed the sisters-in-law above...... Qiu Yulan couldn't help but wonder if Empress Jiang did this on purpose?
"Even the queen hopes that the contradiction between our room and other rooms can be more acute?" The same is a niece and daughter-in-law, the youngest niece and daughter-in-law took the most generous meeting gift, normal people, of course, the first to bear the brunt is Qiu Yulan, which will cause jealousy and dissatisfaction of the concubine.
But......
Right now, it's not just the backyard!
Empress Jiang is already a quasi-queen mother in the eyes of some people in the Jiang family, how important is her attitude towards her mother's family?
The big house that has already enjoyed the priority resource supply of the Xijiang family, and the third room that has been thinking for many years that he should not be subordinated to his cousin as his eldest son...... And although there is no clear ambition at present, it is not easy to ignore the past six and eight rooms......
Will they be willing to watch Empress Jiang become the queen mother, and still be as eccentric as before, Jiang Yashuang and eccentric four rooms?
"Also, attacking it in groups makes it even more important for the queen to support." Qiu Yulan sneered in his heart, "It seems that everyone wants to send us charcoal in the snow!" ”
Do you not hesitate to send them a heavy snow first?
Ni Jin didn't know the thoughts that were turning in her heart, and she was still smiling and said, "Niangniang loves the nineteenth son, but she also likes you very much." ”
After saying a few words, seeing that she was far away from the people around her, she lowered her voice and revealed, "I really didn't expect Princess Yan to get pregnant first, but now Princess Qi is embarrassed." ”
Qiu Yulan smiled and said: "Children are fate, maybe there will be good news for the fifteenth sister in the future?" ”
"That's what you said." Ni Jin thought for a moment and said, "But...... The servant heard the news. ”
"Can you tell me?" Qiu Yulan asked this, but she knew that Ni Jinken was telling herself when she said this.
Sure enough, Ni Jin's voice was lower: "You must not tell anyone else!" Otherwise, if the mother knows that the maid is so mouthy, she will definitely not be able to spare the servant! ”
"Look at what you said, how could I hurt you?" Autumn Trailing Lan was lightly angry.
“…… I heard that Princess Qi thought that King Qi was cowardly and incompetent, and since she got married, she rarely allowed King Qi to enter the inner room, and has always let King Qi settle in the study. Ni Jin said in his ear, "Even when there is no one, he still aligns with the king...... Repeated beatings and scolding...... Niangniang knew two days ago, and summoned her over and reprimanded her! However, the maidservant looked at the princess's expression when she left, but she didn't look like she was listening. ”
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "She's also ...... It's too much to bully King Qi, right? No matter how you say it, it's your own husband! But he was not surprised at all: "As far as Jiang Qiyun's arrogant and arrogant nature. Son, even her cousin is more beautiful than her can't accept it, not to mention that her mother's dream of the world was shattered? However, King Qi is weak and mediocre, and his biological mother is also humble and contemptuous...... How can you not be bullied by her anger? ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" It can be seen that Nijin is very sympathetic to King Qi, "His Royal Highness King Qi is loyal and honest, and he doesn't dare to say anything when he is wronged...... This also ...... It's so pitiful...... It's the blood of the heavenly family after all! ”
The corners of Qiu Yulan's mouth twitched: "The eldest son of the emperor in his twenties was forced to this point? Jiang Qiyun really does things just to be happy and doesn't care about the lives of others? However, if she really forces this prince out of the way, can she settle down herself? What a fool! ”
But this is definitely not suitable to say, she can only say: "Fortunately, the queen mother is fair and strict, and with the pity of the mother, the fifteenth sister should be much more restrained in the future." ”
Ni Jin was about to speak, but someone from the palace came over and said: "The carriage and horses and manpower are ready, should the young lady go back now, or?" ”
Of course, Qiu Yulan will go back now, although she still wants to see if Nijin has any other news to tell her, but the queen didn't keep food, and she will inevitably look uninteresting if she has been delayed here for a long time.
Ni Jin sent her outside the palace gate as usual, and the two said goodbye after a while - the carriage left the square in front of the palace and turned into the street, Qiu Yulan felt a little hot, so Su He lifted the curtain of the car to blow some wind, and was pressing the corner of the forehead with a handkerchief, when suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves rolled by!
Su He suddenly exclaimed, and Shen Shui, who was in the same car, teased her: "Are you afraid of the sound of hooves?" ”
"It seems to be the eighth prince who passed just now!" Su He, who has always been sharp-toothed, didn't care about arguing with her, and hurriedly pulled Qiu Yulan's sleeve and said, "He is still wearing the clothes of the Royal Forest Army...... Look at the direction is to return to the Gongfu! ”
"Something happened at home?!" Qiu Yulan's heart sank, and he commanded the coachman in a deep voice, "Quick!" Don't care about the things in the car behind, and go back quickly!! ”
