Chapter 240: Rival in Love
Concubine Jing originally wanted to stay in Huajin for lunch in Ningshou Palace, but she didn't think about it, but she was summoned by the Queen Mother and asked them to go to Cining Palace together.
Concubine Jing didn't like someone to destroy the two-person world between her and her niece, but she couldn't help the Queen Mother's kindness, so she could only lead Hua Jin to Cining Palace.
Fortunately, the time of morning and dusk has already passed, and there is no one in Cining Palace, Hua Jin helped Concubine Jing into Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother was waiting in the side hall.
Today is not as formal as the palace banquet, even the Queen Mother is only wearing daily clothes, leaning on the soft couch by the window.
And Princess Shuyi, Chu Yuxi, who was wearing a red dress, leaned on the Queen Mother's side, as if begging for something.
Hearing the rumor of the eunuch, she stopped pleading with the Queen Mother, but she still leaned on the side of this Lafayette.
Princess Shuyi's pampering and arrogance are known to the whole palace, and it has become a habit over time.
Hua Jin's entourage Concubine Jing stepped forward and greeted the Queen Mother and Princess Shuyi.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You came just in time, the mourning family is being troubled by this little rabbit." ”
"Imperial grandmother......" Princess Shuyi shook her body coquettishly, and she didn't like the queen mother to call her a little rabbit in front of outsiders.
took a step back and said, "Na Xi'er will retreat first." ”
"Didn't you say that you would stay in Cining Palace to accompany the mourning family for lunch?"
"Grandmother Huang, there are too many rules here. Since there was a concubine and this little sister to accompany her grandmother, Na Xi'er left first. After speaking, he bent down and floated out of the side hall like a gust of wind.
Although this Princess Shuyi looks like she has been spoiled, she does not distort her temperament.
However, looking at the daily life of the grandmother and granddaughter of the Queen Mother and Princess Shuyi, it reminded her of the Sun family.
is also not a granddaughter, can the queen mother spoil Princess Shuyi like a pearl in her palm?
Everything can not only look at the surface, this is the principle that Huajin has always pursued.
The Queen Mother gave Concubine Jing and Hua Jin a seat, and asked the concubine sitting on the right, "Do you remember the little granddaughter of Liang Ge's hometown?" ”
"Liang Huanyin? The little girl who wrote a recital for Liang Ge when she was eight years old? ”
The Queen Mother bowed, "Now it's not an eight-year-old girl, I heard that it's still half a year away." ”
Concubine Jing laughed, "Doesn't the Queen Mother want to be a matchmaker for other little girls again?" ”
"You still know me best." The Queen Mother also narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Fei, this kid said that he was not in a hurry to get married, but the mourning family always thought about the emperor's entrustment." If the mourning family doesn't give him a pick-up, can't he really let him find it himself? ”
Hua Jin lowered his eyes and bit his lip secretly, and wanted to say to the Queen Mother: Didn't your nephew and grandson find her by himself, and he also found her here.
But the Queen Mother has added a love rival to her for no reason!
However, thinking of the letter he asked Du Sanniang to hand over to him before entering the palace this morning, the depressed feeling disappeared.
I wonder if he entered the palace at this time?
Is there any mention of them......
Just thinking of this, a eunuch suddenly came to report: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother fainted in Kunning Palace." ”
The Queen Mother frowned, sat up straight and asked urgently, "Why did you faint?" ”
"It is said that the queen mother was tired when she brewed lotus seed wine herself......"
The Queen Mother sighed, "Let's drive the Kunning Palace, the mourning family is going to see Ning'er." ”
Hua Jin accompanied Concubine Jing and followed the Queen Mother, and the group hurriedly went to Kunning Palace.
I didn't want to, but I met the emperor in front of the Kunning Palace, who looked like a little fairy in a robe, and Luan followed the prince and Fei after driving.
Tang Shanggong, who was beside the queen, was guarding the door to pick up the car, but the queen mother lifted the sedan curtain without waiting to get off the sedan chair and asked anxiously: "How is the queen, have you asked for a doctor?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the imperial doctor has already come to see her, and the queen mother has also woken up."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she let out a long breath, "My body is weak, why did I make lotus seed wine again?" ”
It is known that the emperor likes to drink lotus seed wine, and the queen has to make lotus seed wine for the emperor every year.
blames her son for the sake of her daughter-in-law, the queen mother is really a good mother-in-law.
Hua Jin only didn't hear anything, and obediently helped Concubine Jing get off the sedan chair, but secretly glanced at the emperor who got off the jade chariot, only to see that his expression was not moved by the Queen Mother's words at all, but his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the edge.
Because of the good foundation left by his ancestors, it is rumored that this Yongkang Emperor is the one who sits on the throne most easily in the history of the Great Chu State.
But if this is the case, this emperor's gaze should be pleasant and transparent, how can it be as deep as the sea now.
It seems that the rumors in the market must not be believed, but they should not be believed either.
And Hua Jin's sixth sense told him that the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor was not as simple as it seemed, as if there was an undercurrent surging.
The group entered the Kunning Palace in silence, only the sound of the wheelchair under the crown prince falling on the ground.
Empress An on the sickbed described her as haggard, and she had already woken up, and saw that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were still struggling to get up.
The queen mother naturally did not allow it, so she sat on the edge of the couch and asked the queen about the situation.
The crown prince also turned his wheelchair and stepped forward to ask for warmth, but the emperor was silent.
The queen is sick, and it is naturally not good for everyone to stay for a long time, not to mention that the queen mother has not yet had lunch.
After retreating, after this change, Concubine Jing naturally did not go to Cining Palace to bother again, and wanted to take Huajin back to Ningshou Palace.
When the queen mother got up in the sedan chair first, the prince pushed the wheelchair over and said a few words to the concubine.
Although the prince's legs could not walk, it still could not stop him from laughing like the warm sun, which made the early winter weather a little warmer.
"I heard that the concubine is often accompanied by people under her knees now, and Xu'er congratulates the concubine."
The prince's name is Chu Xu, and he seems to be really like his name.
Concubine Jing was naturally happy when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Hua Jin to give the prince a gift.
Hua Jin said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The prince smiled again and said that he was going back to the prince's mansion, so he beckoned again, and a chamberlain came over to help him push his wheelchair out of Kunning Palace.
Hua Jin and Concubine Jing returned to Ningshou Palace, had lunch together, and talked with them for a while.
My brother has no official position and is a foreign man, and if he wants to enter the harem, he must not be in accordance with the rules, and he can't come to see this aunt and grandmother for a while.
So Hua Jin told the concubine a lot of things about her brother, and the concubine was very happy after hearing it.
However, Hua Jin did not forget to ask before leaving the palace: "Aunt and grandmother, what kind of story is Liang Huanyin, the granddaughter of Liang Ge Lao mentioned in the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace today, who wrote a recital at the age of eight?" ”
She always wants to understand what kind of ability this suddenly extra rival in love has to make the Queen Mother put aside Xu Chen's excellent girl for the time being?
