Chapter 154: Steamed Divine Bird Egg Custard, It's Not Delicious and Doesn't Cost Money
Angrily arrived at the queen's Qianqian Palace, the queen mother lost her temper and reprimanded the queen for not properly controlling the harem, which caused the harem concubines to be infertile, so that the emperor often did not return to the harem to stay overnight.
The Queen Mother affirmed that if the queen was so confused, and did not actively arrange for the young palace concubines to sleep, she should choose another person from the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the lady concubine to assist in the harem.
The queen didn't dare to argue with the queen mother, so she had to swallow her anger and accept this accusation.
The emperor likes to travel and does not return to the harem all the year round, and the queen thinks that she has not handled it inappropriately. But as a woman, she can't keep her husband's heart, and her failure is undoubted.
Mo said that the queen mother's identity as a mother-in-law can rightly point to her nose and reprimand, even those little palace maids who have just entered the palace and don't know taboos often make discussions and ridicule.
The two women who were once the most glorious in the Western Wei Dynasty, but also the most defeated, one was Wei Moqin, the princess of Yu, who was given death, and the other was Gong Xinyao, the queen who would face the abolition sooner or later, which was the most talked about topic in the palace in private.
For a while, the Queen Mother felt much more comfortable, and returned to Nianxiang Palace in steps.
When passing through the small garden, I saw Princess Yu Wei Qihua sitting alone on the edge of the blue wave pool, sprinkling snow-white steamed bun crumbs and feeding the koi in the pool.
When the Queen Mother saw the same face as Wei Moqin, she would feel two points of affection every time.
In addition to the fact that her eyes are too flexible and her mind is too heavy, which makes the Queen Mother not like it very much, Wei Qihua is like her twin sister, with exquisite facial features, well-behaved temperament, and appropriate response to speech. The Queen Mother treated her as kindly as Wei Moqin in the past.
After using two medicinal teas, the Queen Mother asked: "You girl entered the palace and didn't come to me to answer the ceremony, didn't you get tired of listening to my old woman's chatter and deliberately avoided it?" ”
Wei Qihua lowered his eyebrows and replied respectfully: "How dare your daughter-in-law, the Queen Mother, your golden and jade good words, the daughter-in-law wishes to hear them every day." ”
At this time, Dong Xuanying and Dong Qianmo were both standing outside the door, looking from the direction of Dong Qianmo, at this time, this woman with gentle eyebrows and eyes was alive and well, and Wei Moqin was resurrected.
The Queen Mother squinted at Wei Qi's painting and asked, "Then why don't you come into the palace every day to listen?" Didn't the mourning family allow you to enter the palace at any time? ”
Wei Qihua lowered his head and replied softly: "As a woman who is His Royal Highness King Yu, I have to put His Royal Highness first in everything, worry about this and worry about that, and take care of my child Xiaoli in my spare time - Queen Mother, you know, a child of this age can't leave his mother for a moment - and finally think of myself." I don't know how much I want to listen to the teachings of the Queen Mother, but how can I only care about myself? ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "That's fine, but why didn't you bring Xiaoli into the palace this time?" ”
Wei Qi's painted powder face showed a little melancholy, just right, which could not only arouse the empress dowager's sympathy, but also not look contrived, explaining: "Xiaoli, this child is spitting up milk again, milk is coming out of the little nose and mouth, a little face is red, and he has a low-grade fever for days, and he can't see the slightest wind." ”
The Queen Mother frowned and asked with concern: "I'm almost a year old, why are you still so weak and sick?" Have you seen it to the Imperial Doctor? ”
Wei Qihua sighed and said: "Ah, I just let one or two imperial doctors live in the palace, but it's useless, even if you see any symptoms, the imperial doctor doesn't dare to give medicine easily, I'm afraid that Xiao Shizi can't help it." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed: "Poor doll, when his mother was pregnant with him, she only cared about being willful, and she only knew that she had a temper with Tan'er and didn't take care of herself, which made the doll suffer." ”
Wei Qihua also echoed: "Yes, if Xiaoli is the child of me and His Royal Highness, then maybe how lively and strong it is." My sister who is evil in nature, although she is full of evil and sinful, and she ended up with that fate, but she avenged her sins on Xiaoli, which is really embarrassing. ”
When it came to Wei Moqin, the Queen Mother was moved by sadness, and couldn't help but shed a tear, wiped her tears and said: "The most distressing thing is the child Tan'er, the last time the mourning family saw him, the whole person was depressed and demented. Before he married this princess, he was much more relaxed. ”
Wei Qihua echoed: "Who says it's not? My sister is a bane, I don't know how much trouble she has caused to His Highness over the years, and before she left, she cursed me and Her Highness for not leaving each other with any dignity. When my mother heard about her evil deeds, she was so sad and sad that she couldn't get out of bed until now. ”
Saying this, Wei Qihua also held up the handkerchief, and printed the corners of his eyes in a fake way.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said: "The special Wen Imperial Doctor and Zhao Imperial Doctor for the mourning family are all holy hands of rejuvenation with wonderful hands. ”
Wei Qihua hesitated: "The ten-month milk doll is very noisy, for fear of disturbing the Queen Mother's rest." ”
The Queen Mother said: "It's okay, the mourning family cherishes his mother's talent, and is about to take care of this doll and see his son and mother." ”
Wei Qihua was a little angry in his heart, and said to the Queen Mother in a coquettish tone: "The Queen Mother~~ Let's not mention that woman, no matter how talented she is, she is also a shameless adulteress!" For fear that Xiao Li will know his mother's character when she grows up, and she won't be able to raise her head to be a man, I don't mention his mother in front of Xiao Li, and only raise Xiao Li as my own son. ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "You are a kind-hearted child, no wonder Tan'er loves you." ”
Wei Qihua smiled and instructed the accompanying maidservant: "Go, go back to the house and pick up my son, and then select two nurses to pick up together!" ”
"Yes, Princess."
At this time, outside the door, Dong Xuanying keenly noticed that Dong Qianmo standing next to her was very wrong.
For a moment, her breath was so rapid that she looked like a person who had just been rescued from drowning. And her two hands, which were trembling uncontrollably, like the reaction of an angry and mad person.
Dong Xuanying quickly glanced at her and warned her in a very low voice: "Fourth sister, you can think clearly, this is the Western Wei Palace, one more step is one more mistake." You give me honesty, don't cause any trouble, otherwise you will go out of the palace, and your mother will make you look good. ”
Dong Qianmo glanced back lightly, and replied in a low voice: "It seems that the second sister is much more cautious than me, not like your usual actions, but your piano skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and they have been advancing by leaps and bounds." If I can get out of the palace safely, I really want to ask my mother, from which temple did I invite such a great immortal? ”
Dong Xuanying suddenly changed color, grabbed Dong Qianmo's sleeve, dragged it to a no-man's place under the window without attracting attention, and asked quietly: "You, what do you mean by this?!" ”
Dong Qianmo said: "The meaning that the second sister thinks in her heart is what I want to express. In addition, the little sister also has a little shallow opinion, hoping that the second sister will cooperate with me to do something, pull out the mastermind behind the swarm of bees to attack the swallow's nest, and clear my name. ”
Dong Xuanying asked, "Why should I help you?" ”
Dong Qianmo said: "If you want to get out of the palace safely, I can't think of any other choice for you." ”
Dong Xuanying's face was guarded, and she said coldly: "I don't believe you, you give me a reason not to shoot at you first!" ”
Dong Qianmo said: "The master of Zhitong, Princess Wei Qihua, wants you to make a big mistake." What I want in my heart is to help you, and then push the princess in turn, are you sure you don't want to join forces with me? ”
Dong Xuanying questioned: "You are just a guilty body, what qualifications do you have to go against Princess Wei?" ”
Dong Qianmo raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "I am familiar with the palace and know the temperament of the queen mother. Our queen mother is not only moody, but also biased in listening and believing, and she believes half of what she says. If I am convicted in the Nianxiang Palace, I can say a lot. On the contrary, acquittal, I bite your secret, you also turn a blind eye to me, you and I are very happy. ”
“…… Okay," Dong Xuanying hesitated, "but you have to promise, whether you live or not, don't drag me into the water!" ”
Dong Qianmo smiled sarcastically and said, "It seems that the second sister is still too simple to think about the problem, do you think that in the current situation, the dangerous person is me, and you are safe enough?" ”
Dong Xuanying's willow eyebrows rose and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Dong Qianmo shook his head and said, "Except for playing the piano and having two brushes, it seems that you have never lived in the courtyard of the deep house, second sister." I don't even understand this truth, the princess dares to let Zhitong openly frame you, if she is not completely sure that she can put you to death, isn't she afraid that you will complain to the old lady, King Yu and others after you go back, and expose her sinister intentions? ”
Dong Xuanying was stunned for a moment and stammered: "Then, then you are not the same?" She'll kill you too! ”
Dong Qianmo sneered: "How can I be the same? In the eyes of the princess, I am well-behaved and sensible, a good seedling that can be cultivated, and as long as I 'wake up' at the right time and fall to her side, I will be exonerated immediately." ”
Dong Xuanying said: "I don't believe it, Princess Wei is also cautious in the Queen Mother's Palace, walking on thin ice, how can she help you exonerate you?" ”
Dong Qianmo said: "Don't you believe it? As long as I show the slightest sign of sincerity, there will be at least three or four 'eyewitnesses' in this Nianxiang Palace, and they can all prove that it was you who overturned the bird's nest, not me. If you don't believe me, why don't we give it a try? ”
"Don't! I, I believed. Dong Xuanying said nervously, "Don't throw yourself to Princess Wei, I'm willing to cooperate with you!" ”
"That's good," Dong Qianmo said with a smile, "The second sister went to tell the Queen Mother that you saw her bird's eggs broken, and you also saw the palace maid collect the egg milk on the ground and put it in a jasper bowl." You said that you were hungry and wanted to ask the Queen Mother for food. ”
Dong Xuanying's eyes widened and she gasped: "You dead girl, are you crazy?" ”
Dong Qianmo smiled: "I'm not crazy, I just want to eat steamed egg custard." ”
Dong Xuanying nodded resolutely and said, "You are really crazy, I am talking to a madman now." ”
Dong Qianmo said: "If you say so, I have my own way to exonerate the charge; If you don't want to say it, then I can't help it, so I can only stare at the sidelines, watch the princess make a plan and make a plan, and only stop when I step on you and vomit blood. ”
When Dong Xuanying heard this, she was scared, but she still didn't want to do what Dong Qianmo said.
Just as they hesitated, the window they were standing in opened from the inside, and it was the Queen Mother's close female official Qiao, and the Queen Mother and Wei Qihua were in the main hall next door.
Lady Qiao asked in wonder, "Why are the two Miss Dong standing here talking?" No wonder I always feel that the buzzing sound is you? He rebuked in a low voice, "Before the young lady entered the palace, didn't she teach Mama Xi to teach you the rules of the palace?" In Nianxiang Palace, don't laugh and laugh like this, your private words should stop outside the palace walls. ”
Dong Qianmo looked at Lady Qiao, and said with a calm smile: "It's not a private talk, but an interesting thing I saw in Nianxiang Palace just now, I have never seen it, so I couldn't help but pull my sister to talk a few more words." ”
Lady Qiao asked, "What's the interesting thing?" If it is a new and interesting thing, you can't discuss it privately. ”
Dong Qianmo pursed his lips and smiled: "Aunt Qiao, come over with your ears, I'll tell you, otherwise it won't be fun if you lose your fresh color!" ”
Through a window, Lady Qiao squinted suspiciously, re-examined this innocent Miss Dong family, and saw that her eyes were as black as diamonds, clear and clear, with a playful smile on her lips.
In the Nianxiang Palace where the Queen Mother sits, she is so bold in her words, I don't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd?
Lady Qiao leaned forward and said, "Say it." ”
Dong Qianmo pointed to her ear, her lips moved slightly, and she said a word. Dong Xuanying tried to listen, but she didn't hear.
Then he saw that the face of the female official Qiao changed, and he immediately turned around and walked quickly into the palace, interrupting the intimate conversation between the queen mother and the princess, and quickly said something.
Because it was too far away, Dong Xuanying still didn't hear clearly, so she was anxious, pushed Dong Qianmo violently, and asked anxiously: "What tricks are you playing?" If you want to die, don't pull me on my back! ”
