Extra: The Story of the Vinegar Jar (1)

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Jianxing is the first major festival after Yuwenchu ascended the throne, and Mingzhu feels that it must be a grand celebration.

She has been pregnant for several months, has a big belly, and can't sleep, but she still lives and eats with Yuwenchu every day, and dominates the dragon couch to death, which makes the ministers very unaccustomed to it, and from time to time they always have to make some small moves, or the last performance to persuade Yuwenchu to expand the harem by the beauty pageant; or in a different way, ask Yu Wenchu to go to where to visit, and send a few beauties by the way; Or find someone to persuade her or something, and even more, dare to scold her for being red-faced and troublesome, the demon queen is jealous, how can this really be true!

Su Lan hurriedly came in from outside, leaned into her ear and whispered: "The Queen Mother has just summoned her niece, who is only sixteen years old, and it is said that she is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and kind, and knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... Later, there will be a luncheon, and your majesty and the mother will share the joy of family together. Is the mother going? ”

Mingzhu smiled: "The queen mother is enthusiastic, how can you not go?" Su Mei quickly went to inquire about this Zhu girl's preferences, and she must be entertained. ”

Su Mei was puzzled: "Niangniang, you are so kind, if she tastes the sweetness, what will she do next time?" ”

Su Lan smiled: "Niangniang asked you to go, you just went, why is so much nonsense?" ”

Su Mei had no choice but to go. Mingzhu got up, personally opened the black lacquer inlaid luodian depicted golden phoenix pattern medicine cabinet, considered it again, and selected a jade bottle only the size of a thumb from it, and shook it again and again: "Go and see if Dong Hui has come back." ”

Dong Hui, who was dressed in the costume of a five-grade female official, smiled and came in from outside the door: "What do you want from Niangniang?" ”

Su Lan saw that she was full of spring breeze, so she quipped: "Mrs. Ye slept well last night, right?" It's really nice to see you full of spring. ”

Dong Hui and Ye Xiu became married a month ago, and the newlywed Yan'er was the time when the honey was blending oil, and she was only on duty in the palace during the day every day, but she had to go home at night. When Su Lan asked like this, he immediately blushed, and he didn't answer, but only pinched Su Lan hard.

Su Lan has become much more cheerful since Mingzhu entered the Middle Palace, and immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Niangniang, she bullied the slave maid, this married person is really different, and someone supports her and is much more vicious." ”

Dong Hui replied: "How can you compare Aunt Sulan's spring breeze to be proud?" The aunt in charge of the queen's mother, who saw you disrespectful aunt? Even those of us have to be careful that you blow the wind in front of your mother. ”

"Alright, don't be poor." Mingzhu handed the jade bottle to Dong Hui: "Give this good thing to my cousin to taste, don't let people see it." ”

Dong Hui didn't ask what it was, she took the bottle and left, Su Lan was very curious: "What is Niang Niang playing?" ”

Mingzhu smiled: "You'll find out later." ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Yu Wenchu walked in, looked at Mingzhu's expression with a smile first, and then said: "Good complexion, what is the good thing that makes you so happy?" ”

Mingzhu took the tea handed by the palace people, served it to him, and said with a smile: "I am happy for the queen mother." She didn't believe that he didn't know, with the queen mother's temperament, she must have to bypass her, and she had his consent first. Otherwise, if she, a jealous demon queen, makes small moves or something, wouldn't this matter be yellow?

Yu Wenchu remained silent: "What's the joy?" ”

Mingzhu said very sincerely: "The queen mother has suffered too much for us before, and she just closes the palace gate all day long, and even her mother's family doesn't move much, for fear of causing trouble for Your Majesty." Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, there is harmony inside and outside the court, and the queen mother can also be happy and harmonious with her mother's relatives. ”

Yuwen Chu looked at Mingzhu suspiciously, he really didn't believe that she didn't know anything, and at the same time he was so happy to know it. But since she said that she was happy, he didn't have to say those words, so he was also very happy: "It's good that you can think like this, now that you are pregnant, you don't have to pay attention to trivial things, just happily raise the baby and do what you love." I'll do everything else, so tell me if you're upset. ”

Mingzhu smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is too busy, I can handle the trivial matters myself." Seeing that it was not early, he went to pull Yu Wenchu with a smile: "Let's go, don't let the queen mother wait." ”

The husband and wife took the imperial chariot together and went to the Jade Palace where the Empress Dowager Zhu lived. I heard Fu Ning's laughter from afar, and when I got off the imperial chariot, I saw Fu Ning holding a sweet-looking girl standing on the side of the road, striding up and saying, "The sixth brother and six sisters-in-law are here, we can wait for you for a while." As he spoke, he pushed the girl up: "Haven't you seen it?" This is the youngest daughter in my uncle's family, our cousin Yingying. ”

Zhu Yingying wore a light blue skirt, combed her drooping hair, her skin was snow-white and pink, her eyes were dark, and she smiled with two small pear vortices at the corners of her lips, which was very cute and sweet. However, Mingzhu looked at the amiable Yu Wenchu, and then looked at the shy Zhu Yingying, and was in a very bad mood.

Fu Ning stepped forward, pulled out Mingzhu's hand in the crook of Yuwen Chu's arm, and then held Mingzhu affectionately, and laughed softly: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the imperial brother ordered Shen Ruilin to return to Beijing to report on his work, and then he will be given a marriage, but is there such a thing?" ”

Mingzhu knew about this, but the bride was not Fu Ning, but Zeng Yaqiu, the granddaughter of Zeng Zihui, a scholar of Dongge University, and she believed that Fu Ning must also know. So, is this a threat to Funing? If she doesn't help Funing catch Shen Ruilin, Funing is going to launch a Zhu Yingying?

Mingzhu smiled and pushed the matter on Yu Wenchu: "I have only been in charge of raising the fetus and setting up a medical department recently, and I haven't taken care of anything else, I only heard you about this matter today, if you want to know, why don't you ask your imperial brother directly?" ”

Fu Ningpi smiled and didn't smile: "The imperial brother is also very busy, and I can't chase after him for this kind of trivial matter." Speaking of my sister-in-law's fetus, the queen mother was very worried earlier, but I was afraid that the Chongzheng Palace would be too noisy, which would not be conducive to your fetus......"

Mingzhu smiled faintly: "Yes, but this kind of thing is not my master, we all have to listen to Your Majesty, right?" ”

Fu Ning touched a soft nail, very annoyed, squinted at Zhu Yingying and said, "Yingying, haven't you always been curious about what the true dragon emperor is like?" Why is it that now that I see a real person, I don't dare to speak? ”

Zhu Yingying blushed, first saluted Yuwenchu, and then saluted Mingzhu, Yuwenchu and Mingzhu were very kind to her: "It's rare to enter the palace, let's have fun." ”

Yu Wenchu even asked her: "I heard that you are your uncle's youngest daughter?" ”

Zhu Yingying was so excited that she knelt on the ground: "Exactly, Your Majesty actually knows." ”

Mingzhu smiled: "Your Majesty knows everything. As he spoke, he threw a wink at Yu Wenchu.

Yu Wenchu made her laugh and called Zhu Yingying: "You get up and talk back, you don't have to be so polite." ”

"Yes." Zhu Yingying was shy, looked at Yu Wenchu with admiration, and just wanted to open her mouth to speak, her expression changed, and the whole person tensed.
