In addition to those who are related to Concubine Min Guifei today, those who enter the palace to celebrate their birthday must have more than three grades of officials and relatives to enter the palace to celebrate their birthdays, plus the people in the princess's mansion, the guests are full of the entire Yanxi Palace.
Although today is Concubine Min's birthday, the emperor still said that the matter was handed over to the queen to take care of, the queen was originally angry, and wanted to pretend to be sick and push it off, but the prince persuaded her to cheer up and exercise her spirit, otherwise it would become more and more like the queen's small belly and chicken intestines, and she would lose the face of the middle palace, so the queen would hold on to preside.
But she just asked, she didn't pay too much attention, and the people under her were busy.
Today's congratulatory guests, it stands to reason that they have to say hello to the Queen Mother before they can go to congratulate Concubine Min on her birthday.
It's just that there are two queen mothers in the palace, the East Queen Mother and the West Queen Mother, the East Queen Mother is the queen of the former emperor and should be named the Queen Mother, but the West Queen Mother is the biological mother of the current saint.
The heirs of the first queen's palace were difficult, and the queen at that time had nothing, until later Concubine Rou, who is now the Queen Mother of the West, gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and was later made the crown prince. Later, Concubine Han gave birth to Lord Luo, and the first emperor only had two sons. It's just that the first emperor loved King Luo very much and felt that King Luo was like him, but the prince was also pure filial piety, and the first emperor naturally didn't think about abolishing the prince and re-establishing it.
The emperor and King Luo seem to be brothers, friends and brothers, and they are harmonious, and only the parties concerned know the situation.
After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he named his biological mother as the Queen Mother of the West, so that there were two Queen Mothers in the palace.
For so many years, everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the emperor was born to the Empress Dowager of the West, coupled with the fact that the Empress Dowager of the West relied on the power of the Cheng family and held the military power of the capital, everyone was trying to please the Empress Dowager of the West, and gradually no one took the Empress Dowager of the East seriously. Only some old ministers have respect and humility in their hearts, and from time to time remind the emperor to be filial in front of his mother-in-law.
Generally speaking, the official family should first ask the Empress Dowager for peace and then ask for peace for the Empress Dowager West, but now the Empress Dowager doesn't care about anything at all, and she is like a decoration in the palace.
If today is the emperor's world, and the emperor is the son of the Empress Dowager of the West, where else would anyone dare to say anything, Ye Yun watched the officials and dependents of the full hall go to the Empress Dowager Xi's Cishun Palace one after another to ask for peace, and couldn't help frowning.
She remembered that when her father was the prime minister, she repeatedly reminded the emperor of the distinction between respect and inferiority, and wanted to elevate the status of the Empress Dowager in the harem.
When the Su family had an accident, the Empress Dowager Dong pleaded with the emperor and asked him to find out and punish the crime, but the emperor ignored it at all, so Ye Yun still loved this grandmother very much in his heart.
She naturally wanted to go to the Empress Dowager Dong to say goodbye first, she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Zhou, she had to call the shots.
Judging from Mrs. Zhou's solemn expression, she knew that she was also embarrassed. Mrs. Zhou looked at some of the remaining ladies who had not left, and glanced at some of the old ladies who were dignified and steady, only to see one of the old ladies smiling slightly to the people around her: "Let's go, let's go to Ci'an Palace to greet the Queen Mother!" ”
Cishun Palace is the Queen Mother of the West, and Ci'an Palace is the Queen Mother of the East.
Mrs. Zhou hesitated slightly, then got up and followed, but she didn't look at Mu Shi, Ye Yun saw it, she wanted Mu Shi to decide for herself.
After all, it was the Empress Dowager West who invited Mu Rong and a pair of daughters into the palace, if they went to ask the Empress Dowager Dong first to ensure that the Empress Dowager West would not be angry, Mu Rong would really be in trouble.
At this moment, Ye Yun whispered in her ear: "Mother, let's follow Mrs. Zhou!" ”
Mu Rong glanced at her little daughter and saw that her smile was as bright as the moon and very quiet, so she couldn't help but listen to her, so the mother and daughter followed her to Ci'an Palace.
At this moment in Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager Dong was chatting with a person who dismissed the first palace, and saw one of them leaning on the big pillow and the other sitting cross-legged opposite.
Leaning on the East Queen Mother is naturally.
"Why do you have time to see my old woman today?" The Queen Mother looked at Xun Yun opposite.
Xun Yun smiled casually, not restrained at all, "You know that my father is closed, drinking and having fun all day long, my mother holds her own identity, and she doesn't want to congratulate a noble concubine on her birthday, you know Jialan's temperament, no, I heard that there will be many young girls in the palace today, and my father urged me to enter the palace to have a look!" ”
Xun Yun did not shy away from his father's letting him enter the palace to see his daughter-in-law, which made the queen mother laugh.
"You're not serious!" That being said, the Queen Mother did not mean to blame.
Since the death of Emperor Xian for so many years, there is only one Xun Yun who can talk to her.
The emperor's attitude represents everything, the emperor knows that her heart is biased towards Luo Wangfu, the royal concubines, princes and princesses or something, who didn't put her in his eyes, Luo Wangfu has always been feared by the emperor, Luo Wang and the princess almost don't go out, the prince of Luo Wangfu was sent to the fief for King Luo to be stationed in the fief, and the second son was sent by the emperor to the border to fight against the Tatars, and there were a bunch of people staring at him, hoping that something would happen to him.
Only the third son, Xun Yun, is like an idle cloud and wild crane, who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and has a dissolute temperament, so he wants to come to see the Queen Mother, and no one can stop him. In front of the emperor, he played a scoundrel, the emperor had no way to take this nephew, and he didn't want to have a mean reputation, so he seemed to be very indulgent to him.
So for so many years, he can accompany the Queen Mother to talk.
After the ancestor said a few words, Xun Yun suddenly glanced around. Seeing this, the Queen Mother knew that he had something to say, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, the people who are guarding outside are all my henchmen, who have been following me for decades." ”
Xun Yun lowered his voice and said, "Grandmother, how did you find out about that?" ”
The Queen Mother squinted at him and shook her head slightly, "I don't have a clue for the time being, Concubine Han died of illness back then, and the people around her died later, and there were sent to other palaces, I heard that the only one who knew about it was a palace maid named Chen'er next to her, but after Concubine Han's death, there was no news, and then there was the record of the imperial doctor, and the records of the first emperor were hidden in the royal library, which was difficult to find!" ”
Concubine Han is the biological mother of King Luo, not long after giving birth to King Luo, she died of illness, originally Xun Yun didn't take it seriously, but last year when he inadvertently went to Concubine Han's hometown, he met an old grandmother who had entered the palace to serve Concubine Han, and the old grandmother's words made him suspect that his own grandmother may not have died of illness, so he asked the Queen Mother to check.
But now, the palace is not in charge of the Empress Dowager, and decades have passed since this matter, and it is really difficult for her to investigate. It's been a year without much progress.
Xun Yun knew that this matter was tricky, the Royal Library Pavilion, it was easy for others to enter, but it was difficult for people from Luo Wangfu to enter. He was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious.
While the grandparents were still talking, an old lady beside the Queen Mother came in and said, "The Queen Mother, some ladies outside have come to greet you!" ”
The corner of the Queen Mother's lips sneered, "Well, let me wait in the hall!" ”
She glanced at Xun Yun, Xun Yun raised her eyebrows and smiled and got up to put on her shoes and prepare to go out.
When he went out, he saw about a dozen ladies entering the Ci'an Palace, and he silently wrote down those people, and the families behind these ladies were all available people. Being able to risk angering Long Yan to visit the Empress Dowager Dong shows that these families are very confident families.
Xun Yun saw a familiar figure at the end of the crowd, Ye Yun!
The Ye sisters were invited to the palace by the Empress Dowager Xi, and he knew about this early this morning.
He smiled at Ye Yun with appreciation in his eyes. Ye Yun only glanced at him, and followed in with a little blessing.
Mrs. Zhou and her entourage greeted the Empress Dowager first, and the old man was very happy and rewarded the ladies who entered the palace for the first time.
Ye Xi got a string of pearls, and Ye Yun got a string of eastern pearls, both of which were excellent things.
So the group went to Cishun Palace again.
Originally, Mu Rong was still a little nervous, for fear that the Empress Dowager Xi would be angry, but when the Empress Dowager Xi found out, she was not unhappy at all, and beckoned Ye Xi and Ye Yun to her side in front of everyone.
Cheng Ying stood beside the Empress Dowager Xi and told her about the sisters. provoked the Empress Dowager Xi to become more and more curious and look at the two children.
Others have only envy and jealousy.
"This kid is good-looking!" The Empress Dowager Xi smiled and pulled Ye Xi and said,
"Don't dare to be a mother's praise!" Ye Xi curtsied, and he didn't look angry, he was more generous than other girls who entered the palace for the first time, and the Queen Mother Xi liked it very much.
The Queen Mother glanced at Ye Yun a few times, but saw that the little girl was hanging her eyebrows, cold and indifferent, she was afraid of life as a little girl, so she didn't care too much.
The Queen Mother gave each of them something.
After a while, the queen's people called everyone to the banquet, and the ladies returned to the Minhua Hall where the banquet was held.
At this time, the emperor, empress, and concubine Min all appeared, and the crown prince and the twelve princes were also on the side, and the twelve princes smiled at her when they saw Ye Yun in the crowd.
This smile surprised many people. Concubine Min didn't care too much about these officials, but her son greeted people like this, so she glanced in the direction of Ye Yun with her gaze, which was a little strange.
The emperor also saw it, and when everyone sat down, he asked Xun Chong, "Chong'er, who are you smiling at!" ”
He doted on this little son very much, and if he liked the girl of a minister, he could marry him.
Concubine Min's expression changed darkly when she heard this, she was afraid that the emperor would casually give her son's family affairs, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Chong'er's temperament is not stable enough, and the concubine must teach her well." ”
The Emperor understood what she meant, and asked no more.
On the contrary, Xun Chong felt that his mother had misunderstood him, and immediately retorted with his eyes open, "Father, mother, and son-in-law are greeting the second girl of the Ye family, she is very smart, she helped her son-in-law calculate the array hexagram that day, so that her son could take pictures of the coral tree for her mother's birthday!" ”
Concubine Min smiled when she heard this, and touched his head lovingly.
But the queen interjected with a sneer at this time: "The filial piety of the Twelfth Highness is there, but 80,000 taels of silver are spent on a tree, which is still extravagant." ”
The emperor's face immediately sank, "Chong'er, you must not engage in extravagance in the future!" ”
"Father, the son is not..."Xun Chong's face was embarrassed, he was actually not that kind of person on weekdays, he was put on the table by Yin Yi that day.
Seeing this, Concubine Min hurriedly said good things to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is not to blame Chong'er, it is the concubine's fault, the concubine has heard that there is a coral tree in the ancient book, the concubine thinks it is fake and does not believe it, I don't know that Chong'er kept this in mind, that day it was a bid with Yin Shizi, the Yin family has strong financial resources, Chong'er is simple-minded, I didn't think so much, I just want to buy the coral tree to open the eyes of the concubine, so it is broken, he has always been pure and filial, you know, if you want to blame, blame the concubine for talking too much!" ”
Concubine Min seemed to blame herself for her words, but the listener had a heart, she pulled Yin Yi out, and said that the Yin family's strong financial resources were to make the emperor jealous of the Yin family.
The queen was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, Concubine Min was exquisite, and the queen would never be able to fight her in her mouth.
The emperor suddenly squinted when he heard this, his anger decreased a little, his expression was obscure, Yin Yi ran into his stupid son, and deliberately raised the price to play Xun Chong, he believed it.
After all, Xun Chong grew up in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't understand what kind of character he had.
"You're still a little stupid!" The Emperor said angrily, and nodded the head of the Twelve Princes with his hand.
Hearing this tone, Concubine Min Guifei breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sneered at the queen, who was so angry that she secretly rolled her eyes.
This is a royal family matter, and the officials and relatives below naturally don't hear it. Concubine Min glanced slightly in Ye Yun's direction, thinking that she had helped her son, and she was a little happy with her.
The feast soon began, the emperor and some clan relatives ate wine, and the queen and Min Guifei persuaded each other to eat with their wives, and they were happy.
Ye Yun ate listlessly, she didn't even have the heart to look at the emperor.
After the luncheon, the queen invited everyone to the stage to watch the performance of the palace musicians, and everyone moved to the theater garden.
Later, I went to invite the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, the Queen Mother of the East refused, and the Queen Mother of the West came.
After watching a music and dance, Concubine Min said that the garden outside the opera garden had bloomed a good flower, and let the young girls go to enjoy the flowers. The ladies didn't like to be confined to it very much, and with the help of the young princess, they came outside.
I heard that there are several pots of excellent peonies in full bloom, and some early chrysanthemums are blooming very amazingly.
Cheng Ying and Yin Xiaojun were there, so they took Ye Yun and Ye Xi to see the peony together. Later, many ladies also went out to enjoy the flowers, and the Queen Mother of the West was a very flower-loving person, and she was also helped out by the palace people.
There was only the queen and some ladies left. The queen was not very happy. She and Concubine Min fought back and forth like this, and they didn't stop.
It's just that when the Queen Mother Xi came to those pots of peony flowers, she suddenly rolled her eyes and planted them.
"Queen Mother!"
"Someone, the Queen Mother fainted!"
"Call the Imperial Doctor!"
"Go and tell the emperor!"
Suddenly, the whole garden was turned on their backs and became a mess.
Just look at the refreshing one
