Chapter 352: The Wind Blows
Zhao E can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, she did not marry the prince, but directly became the prince's concubine. After entering the palace for less than half a year, she has become the most favored concubine in Weiyang Palace, and it is very likely to give birth to a prince, completely changing the pattern in the palace.
The emperor intends to support the mainstay forces of the DPRK other than Zhenguo Gong. Because Mrs. Shen's two daughters were in the palace, he knew that the emperor was afraid of the power of his relatives, so he had already said that he was sick and avoided suspicion, which was actually no different from resigning and going into hiding; On his father's side, the emperor is afraid of his father's influence in the army, even if his father has returned to Kyoto, it is impossible to reuse it, which is tantamount to raising a tiger; Qin Yu's concubine's daughter is now the crown princess, and Qin Yu's camp is unknown.
And so naturally, it is necessary to add grace to the old ministers of the obvious imperial party like Zhao Taishi. These old ministers are headed by the official position of Zhao Taishi, and the emperor promoted Zhao Taishi, which is equivalent to giving the court a wind direction, so that everyone can understand where this wind of saints is blowing in the current court.
In addition, the emperor is getting older, and he likes these straightforward young women more and more. Such as Zhao E and others, since they were at home, they have been cared for by the masters and servants of the family, holding the fear of falling and the fear of melting, just arrived in the palace, and they don't know how to act to be restrained, which is very different from these restrained old men in the palace who have gone through ups and downs. But all men, no matter what age they are, like new things.
Today, I saw her wearing a gorgeous and luxurious rose brocade dress, her expression was radiant, and she was not a beautiful face, but she compared all the women present.
After seeing the ceremony, they sat down, and after a while, the queen supported the queen mother, and accompanied the emperor to go around the main seat from the back cabinet. Everyone got up again to salute the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother, and then sat down again. After the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen sat down, it didn't take long for the palace daughter to complete all the dishes.
The emperor intended to let the queen mother and her grandchildren talk more, so he did not immediately order singing and dancing. Instead, a queen started a sentence and chatted for a while.
It's just that the Queen Mother cared for her in order, and when she asked about King Chen and Rong Yunxi, she looked at Qingluo who was sitting next to Rong Yunxi for a while, and said in surprise; "But the mourning family is dazzled? How do you look, that girl doesn't look like a Lan girl? Zhaoyun, look, is that your niece and granddaughter? ”
Mama Bo, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "It's not the Queen Mother, that lady is not Concubine Bo." ”
"Third child, didn't you say that you were going to bring Concubine Bo into the palace to show the mourning family their grandson? The mourning family has been looking forward to it for a day, you should be punished! ”。
Rong Yunxi quit, busy maintaining his own prince, and said coquettishly: "Imperial grandmother, if you haven't asked clearly, you will punish my Royal Highness, and the sons and daughters will not follow." ”
"Oh? What to ask? The Queen Mother was surprised.
"I was going to bring Sister Bo with me, but Sister Bo had a headache after waking up this morning, and she caught a cold at night, so Dr. Ju asked her sister to recuperate at home. How dare we take my sister out to blow the cold wind? However, His Royal Highness was worried about the imperial grandmother, and said that he had already said that he would show the grandson to the imperial grandmother. Fortunately, the Fumei people in the house were also pregnant, so they brought the Fumei people over. ”
"Originally, Qingluo had just been taken back to the palace by His Royal Highness from the outer house, and she had been tossed for a few days, and Her Royal Highness couldn't bear to tire her. But in order to agree to the emperor's grandmother's affairs, he still brought someone here. Imperial grandmother, it's not that the sons speak for their husbands, but that you should also reward my highness, not punish you. ”
Rong Yunxi finished speaking with a sharp smile, and expressed all the meanings that King Chen asked her to express, and tonight's errand was completed. The rest is King Chen's own business. But Rong Yunxi is a good person to the end, so naturally it is impossible to completely ignore it from now on, and when it is time to help, he still has to help him.
The Queen Mother knows that Rong Yunxi is not a well-behaved person, but today she still keeps talking so much, there must be other reasons. Hearing Rong Yunxi say the word "green rath", he instantly understood Rong Yunxi's true intentions.
She had heard the name "Qingluo", and it was still when the third child and the prince inspected Sanhuai. It is said that the prince gave the third child a beauty, but the third child did not appreciate it and killed the beauty. At that time, when the news reached the palace, the emperor was very dissatisfied, and felt that the third child was too disrespectful to his eldest brother. But in order to use the third child to suppress the Zhenguo Mansion, it is impossible to bring such a small matter to the surface.
Now the third child has brought another beauty named "Qingluo" into the palace, why is this? What does this green dill have to do with the green dill than the green ditho? Or is this green radish the other green dilath?
"Oh? It turns out that the third child really brought his grandson to the mourning family? Good girl, come forward and let the mourning family take a closer look. The Queen Mother said.
Qingluo responded, stepped forward in a proper manner, and bowed to the Queen Mother and greeted the Queen Mother according to what King Chen and Rong Yunxi taught her on the road. In the end, he has been circling between all kinds of people all year round, and even in front of the Queen Mother at this time, he didn't seem to be nervous, but his every move was very decent.
"Raise your head and let the mourners see." The Queen Mother's voice was very pleasant.
Qingluo raised her head, but her eyes were still on the ground, and she didn't dare to look at the main seat.
The Queen Mother looked at it very seriously for a long time, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a beautiful embryo." The mourners can hear your soft voice, which is very good. Listen, like a Jiangnan accent, where is your hometown? Who else is in the family? How did you get to King Chen? ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine is a Huaibin person, and it is a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to His Royal Highness King Chen. At the head of the family, there is also a younger sister, who is now in the palace with the concubine, working as a maid. It's just that the concubine is used to doing things by herself on weekdays, and she doesn't tell her sister and the maid Chunxiang she brought very much. Qingluo said lightly according to what Rong Yunxi and King Chen taught her. The prince gave her to King Chen, just a mouthful.
The Queen Mother looked at Qingluo for another moment, nodded and said, "She is a clever girl, and her demeanor is quite passable." ”
"Third child, listen to your daughter-in-law, say that you just took it back to the house, and she has been raising it in the outer room before, but why? The mourning family saw that you, a blessed beauty, were a person who knew how to act and would not make any trouble, what kind of thing did you do? The Queen Mother's voice was slightly displeased, as if she was blaming King Chen for messing around.
"This ......" King Chen glanced at the prince with some embarrassment, and said, "Put it outside, it's safe." ”
After saying that, he closed his mouth, as if he had the intention of saying anything more.
But then, as if he felt that something was wrong, he smiled casually: "Originally, my grandson thought it was good to put it outside, but who knew she was pregnant!" Anyway, she is also a serious royal bloodline, and she can't be allowed to be out all the time, there is no way, only to get it back to the house. ”
The Queen Mother heard the hidden meaning in King Chen's words, but she really didn't hear what the hidden meaning in King Chen's words was for a while. He pretended to be even more confused, and said angrily: "What do you mean that you can't get back to the house?" What kind of nonsense does Jo say? Could it be that someone won't let you get it back to the house? ”
"Look, your daughter-in-law doesn't look like an unreasonable person. Besides, the argument that Na'an is not safe is even more nonsense. Could it be that in the small alley and small courtyard outside, there can still be the safety of King Chen's Mansion? Monkey business! You...... That little calculation in your heart, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know. Don't you think that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers? Isn't that the case? ”
"This ......," King Chen reluctantly admitted, "yes, yes, the imperial grandmother said yes." ”
Rong Yunxi also looked embarrassed, her mouth moved, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she pressed it down and didn't say it.
The lights in the Yuhua Pavilion were as bright as day, and the reactions of Rong Yunxi and King Chen naturally allowed the emperor and the queen mother sitting on the throne to have a panoramic view.
The two of them deliberately reacted very aggrieved.
Although the emperor didn't speak, Rong Yunxi knew that the emperor must have been thinking about the strangeness.
The rumored person who was dead suddenly appeared at the family banquet in Weiyang Palace at this time, coupled with King Chen's very obscure words, how could the emperor not see the clues? It's just that before it is time to break it further, although the emperor has many questions in his heart, he can't think of an answer for a while.
King Chen is not in a hurry to let the emperor know the "truth" as soon as possible, things are done too quickly, and it seems too deliberate. It is still necessary to let the surprise in the emperor's heart for a while, and when he is almost forgotten, the "truth" will be revealed.
Next, let's just look at the performance of Qingluo.
It can be seen from her current performance that her performance will not be bad in the future. It's just to let her look at the prince a few times, and it should be absolutely fine.
"What, the mourning family wronged you?" The Queen Mother was surprised.
King Chen smiled, still very responsible: "What the imperial grandmother said is that they are all grandchildren." ”
"Hmph...... Look at the unwillingness of the reluctance", the Queen Mother smiled, "It's all confused about the mourning family." The third daughter-in-law, you say, the mourning family still wronged your prince? ”
As soon as the queen mother's words fell, Qingluo glanced at the prince, as if she wanted to say something. But it was also a male face, and he didn't say it in the end.
Rong Yunxi took in her reaction, and in her heart, she couldn't help but think a little higher about Qingluo.
instructed her to improvise, but I didn't expect her to be able to grasp the timing so well and do it so justly. First, it can show that she actually has some brains, but she has never been given a proper opportunity to display it; Moreover, it can be seen that she has really put a lot of thought into today's events, and she has the meaning of gaining a firm foothold in King Chen's mansion for a long time.
Rong Yunxi pretended to hesitate for a moment, but still said, "What the imperial grandmother said is true." ”
