Chapter 216: Who Doesn't Want to Climb Up?
Back at the princess's mansion, Bai Wei immediately stepped forward to take the cloak on Shen Ninghua's body, saw the smile on her face, and asked with some curiosity: "Princess, but what fun happened in the palace?" ”
Shen Ninghua's eyes were as blue as blue, and her smile deepened when she heard this: "The queen wants to talk about the princess's dowry, but unfortunately in the end, stealing chickens and rice will not work, it is estimated that Xiao Qi will sit firmly in the position of the head of the Internal Affairs Office." ”
"Congratulations to the colt." Xiao Qi is Chu Junyi's manpower, he controls the Department of Internal Affairs, and it is also extremely beneficial to the princess.
Shen Ninghua nodded, turned his head to look at the door, and saw Chu Junyi striding in.
"Ning Hua, you're back, are you okay?"
Thinking of the expression of these people as if she had gone to the tiger's den in Longtan as soon as she entered the palace recently, Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed in her heart: "What can be the matter, Xiao Qi's matter is ordered by you?" ”
Chu Junyi smiled: "The neutrality of the Xiao family also cut off the queen's power in the Department of Internal Affairs, how can she be willing, naturally she wants to grab a handful of braids of the Department of Internal Affairs, but she didn't expect that I told Xiao Qi earlier that it is relatively smooth to take over things, where can she succeed easily?" ”
Shen Ninghua had a smile in her eyes: "You are well prepared, this time the queen has planted a heel, it shouldn't be so easy to give up." I'm afraid that the wedding of the two princesses Anning and Anqing can't be calm. ”
"Well, you still have to prepare in advance, after all, there have been a lot of things recently, and the emperor has also attached great importance to the two princesses Baili Anning and Baili Anqing, and if something happens to the wedding of the two of them, the emperor is afraid that he will be furious."
Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes: "The queen is quite hostile to us now, and she has a posture of being a thorn in her side, and I don't know if she will calculate us at the wedding of the two princesses." "If they ruined Anning and Princess Anqing's wedding, not to mention Baili Qingcang's side, they themselves would be quite unhappy in their hearts, after all, the wedding is a major event in a woman's life.
Chu Junyi also frowned: "Although we have a special identity, we are just going to watch the ceremony, there shouldn't be anything, I will let people pay more attention these days, don't let your guard down, no matter where you go, you must take the green finch with you." ”
"Well, I understand."
In Ningkun Palace, Fang Xue carefully helped the queen wipe the wound left by her palm, her eyes were full of worry: "Niangniang, even if you are angry, you can't toss your body like this, this wound will take a few days to heal." ”
Zhao Huiying's face was cold, and her eyebrows were locked into a knot: "The emperor actually knocked on the palace today." ”
Fang Xue made a movement in her hand, and the medicinal powder in her hand accidentally poured out more, causing Zhao Huiying to take a sharp breath of cold air.
"Hiss......"
"Ah, mother's forgiveness!" Fang Xue knelt down with a plop and hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty.
Zhao Huiying took a breath, looked down at the wound in her palm, and frowned: "You get up, you are the old man next to this palace, can this palace punish you for this little thing?" ”
"The mother is magnanimous and has always treated slaves and maids very well." Fang Xue didn't get up, knelt directly on the ground, and continued to help Zhao Huiying clean the wounds on her hands, and her movements were extra careful.
"Fang Xue, you go and tell the eldest brother that the affairs of the Internal Affairs Department are left alone for the time being."
"Yes, Niangniang, but after all, the Department of Internal Affairs is in charge of many things in the harem, and if you can't fully control it, I'm afraid you will have a lot of dreams at night."
"How is Hongu not knowing?" Zhao Huiying snorted coldly, "It's just that Xiao Qi is a member of the Xiao family, and even if he is the queen of this palace, he can't easily be moved, unless he has a great mistake." ”
A report from the palace maid came from the door: "Niangniang, Princess Anqing asks to see you." ”
"She's coming?" A smile flashed in Zhao Huiying's eyes, and she waved her hand to ask Fang Xue to pack up the medicine bottles and the like, and said, "Let her in." ”
Baili Anqing was dressed in a light pink Su embroidered Luo skirt, the decoration on her head was extremely simple, with a faint smile on her face, she looked like a spring flower, although it could not be regarded as warm, but it was also quite delicate and elegant and vibrant: "Erchen has seen the queen mother." ”
"Get up, why are you here?"
Baili Anqing raised his eyes and straightened his expression, knelt down suddenly, his knees fell heavily to the ground, and he made a muffled sound, which shows how solid this etiquette is: "Erchen thank the queen mother for her grace today." ”
A satisfied smile appeared in Zhao Huiying's eyes: "Fang Xue, why don't you help the princess up?" ”
Fang Xue hurriedly stepped forward: "Princess, get up quickly." ”
Baili Anqing got up, there were already tears in his eyes, and he hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief: "Queen Mother, the son's biological mother was from a humble background, and she didn't dare to ask for the love of her father and mother, I wanted to marry an honest man to live a stable life, and the dowry and the like would be less, but I didn't expect the queen mother to still remember her son, and the son was grateful." ”
Zhao Huiying motioned to Fang Xue on the side, who hurriedly helped the embroidery stool over and asked Baili Anqing to sit down.
After she sat down, Zhao Huiying smiled and said: "You girl, don't be presumptuous, although your biological mother is only a noble now, but there is no possibility of promotion in the future, this palace is the queen, and she is the mother of all princes and princesses, so she naturally wants to protect you." ”
Baili Anqing had a touched look on his face: "Thank you to the queen mother, it was the son-in-law who thought about it before." ”
Zhao Huiying turned her head, and Fang Xue had already taken a complete set of ruby heads: "I said I wanted to give it to you today, I thought I would send someone to send it to you, but it happened that you came over, so I will take it directly." ”
As she spoke, she took a glass hairpin inlaid with rubies and carefully inserted it on her head: "Look, only you flower-like age are worthy of such gorgeous jewelry." ”
Baili Anqing hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, son, Queen Mother." ”
Seeing her movements, Zhao Huiying lowered her eyes with satisfaction, and once again took a pair of jade and gilt ruby bracelets for her to wear: "As a princess, these are what you should enjoy, and now you are going to get married, and it is almost a few days before and after Anning, prepare for marriage, and if you are missing, you will send someone to tell the palace, and the queen mother will naturally take care of it for you." ”
"Yes, the son once again bows to the queen mother for her grace."
"Well, okay, the palace is also tired, Fang Xue, you send someone to send the princess back, the night is cold, put the mink cloak in the palace on Anqing, don't catch a cold."
"Yes, sissy."
Baili Anqing withdrew from the palace with a grateful face.
Zhao Huiying curled the corners of her lips, and the look in her eyes was extremely satisfied.
Fang Xue sent someone back, and when she saw her like this, she hurriedly smiled and made fun: "Niangniang's hard work is finally not in vain." ”
A streamer flashed in Zhao Huiying's eyes: "I have always been in the position of being abused, and now I see that I have the opportunity to climb up, how can I not do my best?" As long as she does a good job as a chess piece, this palace will not treat her badly. ”
"Yes, the mother is kind-hearted. There are still ten days to go before the wedding date of the two princesses, but the mother already has a plan? ”
"It's the Spring Festival in a few days, right?"
"Yes."
"Princess Zhaohua and the concubine are extremely close, and it has nothing to do with their previous private contact. The two princesses are about to get married, and it is okay to meet in private, and when the Spring Festival is approaching, let them go out loose and loose, after all, it is not so convenient to go out after getting married. Take this opportunity to let the princess and the colt meet as well. ”
"Mother, do you want to?"
Zhao Huiying looked at the Yingchun flower on the table, and the smile on her lips deepened a little: "It's not easy for a woman, once you can't meet a lover, the result will be miserable for a lifetime, I remember that Baili Anqing's concubine is Yang Lin, the grandson of Yang Ge, right?" ”
"Exactly, the emperor personally gave the marriage, it is said that this Yang Bianxiu wanted to marry Princess Anning, but he was preempted by the four-rank military general Qu Yi, so he obeyed the emperor's order to marry Princess Anqing."
"Well, young Mu Ai, let the people of Biyun Pavilion make a move, it is bound to let Anqing know the true face of Yang Lin."
Fang Xue was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Does Niangniang want Princess Anqing to withdraw from the marriage?" ”
"It's not okay to simply withdraw from the marriage, how can it be possible to involve Shen Ninghua just by withdrawing from the marriage, you come over ......" Zhao Huiying lowered her eyes slightly, whispered to Fang Xue for a long time, and then hooked the corners of her lips.
Fang Xue nodded and retreated respectfully.
Zhao Huiying lowered her head and glanced at the wound in her palm, her face was full of haze: Xia Jingyan, this palace can kill you at the beginning, and it can also kill your daughter, it's only to blame that she is too much like you, how can this palace tolerate such a thorn that can't be pulled out or pierced in!
The Spring Festival is coming, and on this day, the people put on spring clothes and go to the suburbs to play.
Two carriages stopped on the bank of the river, and a maid in green clothes tripped off the footstool and respectfully helped a woman in a pale green dress to get out of the car.
The woman got out of the carriage, her beautiful eyes swept around, and then turned to look at the carriage. Everyone followed her gaze and found that two more slender women got out of the car, although they were also wearing veils, but the elegance was still difficult to hide.
Many people sighed secretly in their hearts, it was really a feast for the eyes, so the three beauties didn't know whose son's son was cheaper.
These three people are Shen Ninghua and Baili Anning and Baili Anqing.
Qingque followed behind Shen Ninghua: "Miss, the private room on the second floor is ready." ”
"Well, Anning, Anqing, let's go up and sit down first."
Life is boiling on the Linbin upstairs, everyone has stretched out their heads to look across the river, on the river, the stage is built near the water, surrounded by pink veils, and soon there will be dancing girls on stage to perform, competing for the title of Spring Fairy.
Chu Junyi, who was dressed in cyan clothes, walked up with a basket with colorful heads: "I've seen two princesses." ”
"Lord Chu doesn't have to be polite."
Chu Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua, with a warm smile in his eyes, and put the basket over: "This is what you asked me to prepare, and I will send it to you." ”
"Hmm." Shen Ninghua nodded, looking at the freshly picked and pruned spring flower branches inside, "This year's spring flowers are blooming exceptionally well." ”
Chu Junyi smiled: "The peach blossoms are about to bloom." ”
Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, nodded, and turned his head to look downstairs: On the stage, there was already music.
Yang Lin and Qu Yi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stepped into the Linbin Building at the same time.
