Chapter 316: Secretly Fighting
This queen can also understand, so she didn't dwell on this, and asked a few other words.
The queen's first change in Su Xiyun's opinion was from this incident, which shows that after two years of practice, Su Xiyun's calligraphy attainments have improved by leaps and bounds.
When Su Xiyun asked about this, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Niangniang praised it." Xiyun just had nothing to do and copied a few more scriptures for her mother, which was not good. ”
When the queen heard her say this, she said with great interest: "Oh? Can you still copy the scriptures? What are the copied ones? ”
Su Xiyun hurriedly said: "There are the Lotus Sutra, the Heart Sutra, the Amitayus Sutra and so on. ”
The queen was taken aback when she heard this: "I never thought that you were a filial person and copied so many scriptures for your mother." ”
Su Xiyun said modestly: "Actually, these scriptures were copied by my sister and me, so I was able to copy so much." ”
The queen raised her eyebrows: "Are you talking about Miss Su Er, who is the same mother as you?" ”
Su Xiyun nodded yes.
The queen's eyes flickered invisibly.
At the beginning, she was very reluctant for Qi Ye to marry a girl from the Cheng'an Bofu family, thinking that since their family could produce a lowly woman like Su Daiyun, the other girls would not be much better. But then, she heard from the emperor that the parents of the girl Qi Ye married were both good people, and Miss Su's own sister was also engaged to the Bai family, and she would be married in a few months.
Who is this Bai family? One of the top families in the capital, the old marquis Bai is actually willing to let his grandson marry this woman with no identity background, and the queen still has a lot of emotion in her heart. She also took the initiative to talk about Miss Su Er when Bai Lao entered the palace. But the answers I heard were all full of praise for this daughter-in-law without exception.
In this regard, the queen mother has great doubts in her heart.
But also because of Miss Su Er's family affair with the Bai family, she was not so entangled in the marriage between Qi Ye and Su Xiyun. Now that the holy decree has been issued, no matter what she does, she can't return to heaven, the queen comforts herself in her heart: Since they are sisters of the same mother, since these two young ladies have the ability and virtue to be valued by the Bai family, they can't go there if they want to come to this young lady.
"How does your second sister's handwriting compare to yours?" The queen threw out another question.
Su Xiyun said with some shame: "Mother always says that Xiyun's words are a little worse than her sister's, she asks Xiyun to practice more, maybe she can surpass her sister in the future." This is tantamount to admitting euphemistically that his handwriting is not as good as Su Qianyun. But what the queen wants is not who writes well, but Su Xiyun's answer.
Obviously, Su Xiyun's answer was very satisfactory to her, although she was modest, she was not too modest, and she did not forget to elevate herself while holding others up. This state. The queen liked it very much.
The queen smiled faintly and said, "It's time to practice more, so how about you copy a volume of the Lotus Sutra for the palace in this Kunning Palace today?" ”
Su Xiyun hurriedly said: "It is Xiyun's blessing to be able to serve the queen's mother." ”
When the queen heard her say this, she nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered someone to take the scriptures and a stack of blank rice paper, put the bookcase in the inner hall, and study the ink, and after everything was ready, she invited Su Xiyun in.
From beginning to end, Su Xiyun's expression was not humble or silent, and there was no displeasure and panic on her face, the queen was very satisfied when she saw it, and immediately ordered someone to send in some melons and fruits and refreshments, Su Xiyun has been in her Kunning Palace for more than half an hour, but she has never drunk a cup of tea!
Thinking like this, the queen felt a little guilty in her heart. She immediately ordered the Imperial Dining Room to be prepared for lunch. At this moment, someone from the palace came in and reported: "Queen Mother, the concubine asks to see!" ”
The queen was stunned, why did she come? Thinking about it, she glanced back at the cubicle in the inner sanctum, and then, turning her head and saying casually, "Xuan! ”
After a while, Concubine Shi walked in dressed up in flowers, the waist swaying in the wind was as slender as willows, with the luxurious and bewitching dress, Shi's whole person looked beautiful, but the queen frowned when she saw it and said: "Caifeng, how many times have I told you!" He doesn't like such a bewitching woman! Why don't you listen all the time? ”
As soon as Shi came in, after greeting the queen, a pair of beautiful eyes looking forward to Sheng Yan did not live in the palace to look for it, she didn't listen to the queen's words much, and after she couldn't find anyone, her face showed a slight disappointment: "Queen Mother, daughter-in-law heard that Miss Su from Cheng'anbo Mansion came to the palace today, but what about her?" ”
The queen glanced at her and said lightly, "Are you here to visit the queen mother, or are you here to visit her?" ”
Shi smiled slightly and said mischievously: "Daughter-in-law look at it!" ”
When the queen saw her expression, she didn't show anger on her face, but smiled and said, "I sent her aside, what, do you want to see her?" "That being said, how could the queen not know what Shi was thinking in his heart.
Shi also generously admitted: "The daughter-in-law wants to see how the young ladies of this Cheng'an Mansion are alluring!" The heart of a dead general has been occupied, and the other has also been occupied, the two most noble emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty have been occupied by the girls of their family, can the daughter-in-law not be curious? ”
The queen smiled slightly and said: "She looks very beautiful, but she is not as captivating as you said, she has a good nature, she is docile and docile, and the most rare thing is her humble and silent state." He also writes well. However, this is Miss Su, what Miss Su looks like and what her temperament is, and this palace doesn't know. ”
As soon as Concubine Shi heard that the queen praised other women in front of her, she couldn't stand it anymore, she sneered and said, "Is the handwriting good?" But there are many people in this world who write well like a carp crossing the river! The queen mother, you are exaggerating, right? ”
Shi's voice is not small, plus the small cubicle where Su Xiyun stayed in the same side hall is close to the front hall, and the sound insulation effect is not very good, so she listened to the conversations between the concubine and the queen in her ears one by one.
The queen also knew that Su Xiyun heard the conversation here, but she didn't deliberately lower her voice: "Is it an exaggeration, you will know later, the words that can make the queen mother look at it will definitely not be bad, Caifeng, you are too careful." ”
The concubine's eyes flashed, and she spoke: "Mother, what does this 'wait and see' mean?" ”
The queen said lightly: "The palace asked Miss Su to copy the Lotus Sutra in the room. ”
When the concubine heard this, her eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "Queen Mother, this Miss Su hasn't married yet!" I didn't expect to give you filial piety in advance, so it seems that it is really good! "Tuan Nong's chatter.
The queen didn't think like this, but Shi's words suddenly made her feel this way, and she nodded with a smile and said, "You're right, she's a good one." ”
The essence in the concubine's eyes was even worse, and she smiled and said, "Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law has not been by your side for a long time!" Why don't you go in and copy a few pages of the scriptures for you? ”
The queen was taken aback when she heard this, she raised her head and looked the concubine Shi up and down, and then continued: "Since you also have this filial piety, how can the queen mother stop it." With that, he ordered someone to send Shi into the cubicle as well. There are people in the palace to prepare paper, pen and ink, not to mention.
In fact, there are not many others in Kunning Palace, but there are many rooms, but the queen just let the concubine go to the room where Su Xiyun stayed, which has a deep meaning. And the concubine could have proposed to let the palace people prepare another room for herself, but first, she really wanted to see what Miss Su from Cheng'anbo Mansion looked like, and second, she wanted to give the other party a dismount in person.
The concubine's eyes burned with excitement, this Miss Su is not Princess Rong now, she doesn't have to worry about her at all!
With this in mind, Shi slowly entered the hut under the leadership of the palace people.
Su Xiyun already knew everything inside, and when the concubine appeared at the door, she was already waiting there respectfully: "Xiyun has seen the concubine." *筆*~] miao pen ge.
Shi Shi looked at the woman in front of him who bowed her head slightly and performed the standard palace ceremony, and her beautiful eyes were shining: "Raise your head and let the palace take a look!" ”
Why is this the first thing everyone asks when they meet? When the queen asked just now, Su Xiyun still felt nervous, but at this time, she had been in Kunning Palace for a while, and at this moment, she was no longer the young she was at the beginning. The concubine ordered, she raised her chin very obediently, glanced at the concubine's face meekly and quickly, and then lowered her head.
This concubine is also a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and her appearance is even better than Su Daiyun's. Don't let such a beauty go, but I fell in love with her eldest sister who has gone through hardships, should I say that I have no vision? Or should I say that this is Su Daiyun's fate?
Su Xiyun thought in her heart.
Concubine Shi is also looking at Su Xiyun, the woman in front of her puts aside her appearance and temperament, she still has a calm and restrained temperament, coupled with this humble and non-humble attitude, she is indeed a rare beauty. Shi reluctantly agreed in his heart that Su Xiyun was not bad.
"Get up." Shi said softly. After speaking, she bypassed Su Xiyun, strode into the house, and stood down in front of the bookcase where Su Xiyun had just copied the scriptures. He bent down and looked at the scriptures that had been written on the table.
Rao is Shi family, whose eyes are above the top, couldn't help but shout in his heart when he saw Su Xiyun's hand.
