279 to be married (and updated.)
Seeing Concubine Yu step forward, she took the lacquer plate of wine from the little eunuch holding it in both hands, raised her hand and fell to the ground, and after the muffled sound, she saw a crack on the edge of the lacquer plate, not to mention whether it was a high-quality wood, it was like paper paste, and the little eunuch holding the lacquer plate was shocked and his knees were weak.
Concubine Yu rarely showed a cold face, but her face was very majestic, and she asked: "I think I haven't seen anything good with Concubine Ling, so I use this to fool people, it's better like this, let's take it big and small, this time I will go to Changchun Palace with me, and ask the queen to identify what you have got." ”
For a while, the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office knelt on the ground, Concubine Yu glanced at Hongyan and asked coldly: "Sister, look, how to deal with this matter?" Now that the initial banquet has not been held, who knows what strange things will be brought in this month, you and I have never seen a good one, maybe when we will look away, and make jokes on the banquet, we will not be able to save the dignity of the emperor and the princess if we lose our heads. ”
Hongyan glanced at the person who shrank back again, her eyes were certain, and everyone also turned around, so frightened that the person had nowhere to hide, gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said: "Concubine Yu Niangniang Shengming, Ling Concubine Niangniang Shengming, the minions just took things and put them everywhere, naturally what they took outside, the minions took anything." Don't dare to bully the two mothers, the minions really haven't seen good things, and they don't have eyesight. ”
The red-faced Ama used to be an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, whether it was these foreign ministers or the eunuchs who served in the Great Interior, they all had their own ability to eat. For example, these are responsible for storing and organizing the palace utensils, and they follow the master to learn their skills, and when a piece of furniture is in hand, you can know what kind of wood it is or even which master made it, and where he has never seen good things like he said. I really haven't seen it, it should be Hongyan and Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu said coldly on the side: "That's me and Concubine Ling, wronged you?" ”
That person also decided that Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling were good-hearted people who were good at talking, and they cried and shouted on the ground that they were wronged, and it was these two lacquerware that fooled people, and the people next to them also became nervous, so it was best to suppress Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling, so that they could escape the catastrophe.
Concubine Yu was about to open her mouth to scold, but she didn't want to be blushing and said first: "Concubine Yu and I don't know the doorway of porcelain and lacquerware, and I don't know if I was really fooled by you, but my Ama used to be an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, and I know exactly what you people eat." It is not shoddy fakes that can fool you, but silver that covers your eyes. ”
The people on the ground were all shocked, and Concubine Yu was also a little surprised, but she listened to Hongyan's instructions: "Xiao Lingzi, pass my word to Lord Fucha, please ask your lord to investigate this matter strictly, and all relevant people in and outside the palace will be taken down first, and after the princess's wedding, the guilt will be punished." The things that have been sent to the princess's mansion will be checked for authenticity, and no one will be spared. ”
Seeing that Hongyan was so domineering, Concubine Yu straightened her waist even more, and said to everyone: "It's not me and Concubine Ling who want to embarrass you, it's you who embarrass us." The first time the emperor married his daughter, he couldn't wait to take off the stars in the sky, but you rushed to block people, you don't want to die, Concubine Ling and I want to live for a few more years. ”
This incident made people panic for a while, but the things that followed after that did not go wrong, hundreds of pieces of porcelain and wood, Concubine Yu and Hongyan saw that their necks were sour, and they did not dare to have a trace of slackness. They didn't dare to relax when they were rigorous, and they comforted each other and said that after surviving this month, the three feasts of the initial appointment and the wedding and returning to the door were over, and the merit was completed.
And the two of them were angry and angry, and soon word of mouth spread into the harem, both of them were kind-hearted people, and the other concubines didn't expect that they could work together to deal with those treacherous and cunning things, some praised and some disdainful, but who would have thought that this matter was not over, Fu Heng found out the cheater outside, but he involved the concubines in the harem.
The day before the initial banquet, the palace was in full swing to prepare for the two big banquets of Baohe Hall and Ningshou Palace, but news came in, saying that a minister played the impeachment of Su Zhaonan, the father of the pure concubine, and the Su family participated in the things needed for the wedding of the master of the office, and filled his own pocket with shoddy goods, and the cousin of the pure concubine has been arrested, and he is the son of the Su family, and the father of the pure concubine is to blame.
Although everything is now focused on the princess's marriage, the emperor is not because of this early dynasty, there are cases that naturally have to be handled, and corrupt officials naturally have to be arrested, the court announced that the relevant people will be detained first, and Su Zhaonan will be taken away from the power, and the princess will be carefully investigated after marriage, and then convicted and punished. And those involved in corruption in the inner palace are also imprisoned pending trial, and no one will be spared.
The news reached the harem, and Gao Bin, the father of the former Huixian Imperial Concubine, was suspected of leaking secrets in the inner palace, and the noble concubine was reprimanded by the Queen Mother in public, which aggravated the depression. Now that such a big thing has happened in Concubine Chun's family, how can the Queen Mother not be angry, she has always looked down on Wei Hongyan, but Wei Hongyan can't fault half of her duties, but other concubines respond to her every now and then. The queen mother ignored the fact that tomorrow was the first decision of harmony, and on this day she convened the six palaces, reprimanded the pure concubines harshly, and warned the concubines of the palace to take care of their families.
Concubine Chun knelt so much that her knees were about to break, and the Queen Mother let them go, she and Concubine Xian had always walked in front of others, and they were respected in the past, but today they left in a mocking gaze and ridicule, and it was easy to walk back to Xianfu Palace, and Concubine Chun's knees were weak and she sat on the threshold.
Baoqin said helplessly: "Why did you call our master to stand up for this matter?" ”
Baoqin said "stall", but what Concubine Chun heard was "greed", so she slapped Baoqin in the face angrily and scolded: "Who wants to be greedy for these things they want to send to the funeral?" ”
And this slap shocked Baoqin stunned, ashamed and hateful, they have been together like sisters for more than 20 years, Baoqin has given her youth to Concubine Chun all her life, but in the end she got this slap, she knew that her words were distorted by Concubine Chun, but she would not ......
Concubine Chun herself was stunned, and it took a while to calm down and say, "I shouldn't have done anything to you, hug the qin, I'm really angry." In the past, I watched Emperor Huixian being reprimanded and humiliated by the Queen Mother, I didn't know that it would be so painful, I couldn't wait to die, and I couldn't wait to pounce on the old woman's face. ”
Baoqin's heart was still beating suddenly, but he persuaded: "Master, let's enter the door, you say this kind of thing here, in case someone spreads it......"
Concubine Chun stumbled up, looked at the cold palace road, the Chuxiu Palace next door since the death of Emperor Huixian, the door has been locked, her Xianfu Palace and Chuxiu Palace, in the northernmost part of the West Sixth Palace, once upon a time, the emperor could go to great lengths to come here from the Yangxin Palace for a poem that suddenly came to mind, just to coax her to laugh, but now, what is the difference between the cold palace and the cold palace, who will come to listen to her these words.
Fortunately, this incident did not affect the dignity of the initial banquet, Hongyan and Concubine Yu did not see the grand occasion of the Baohe Palace, but thirty tables were set up in the Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother and the Queen presided over it, and the concubines, foreign women, female officials, and female dependents of the Eyu clan participated in the feast, and the wine, dishes, utensils, singing and dancing, all of them were not decent, showing the majesty of the heavenly family.
Seeing this grand scene, and although Concubine Yu and Concubine Yu joined hands to manage it, Concubine Yu was still in charge of the trivial affairs of the inner palace most of the time, and almost all the weddings were handled by Concubine Ling, and she could do it so thoroughly, the Queen Mother understood why her son could straighten his waist and protect his beloved woman in front of her again and again.
Halfway through the banquet, the elder brothers stepped down from the Baohe Palace, came to greet the Queen Mother and the Empress on behalf of the emperor, and greeted the grandmother and grandmother. Yongqi kowtowed in front of the queen mother and the queen, and then rushed to Hejing's side, among the brothers, he was the most favored brother of the emperor's sister, like a sister and brother, the little guy untied the dagger in his waist, but saw that the scabbard was colorful, decorated with various colored jewelry, spelling out the pattern of the crescent moon, he proudly said to Hejing: "Sister, this is my brother-in-law sent me, sister, do you look good?" ”
When He Jing heard that it was the dagger given to Yongqi by Sebuteng Balejur, he couldn't help but look at the other brothers, but the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother did not, not to mention the sixth elder brother who was still young, as for the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother, or the little doll in the nurse's arms, they had never gone to the Baohe Palace.
"Why are you the only one?" The Queen Mother asked on the side, and reminded even more, "Silly boy, you can't bring a sword when you enter the inner palace, you have to be careful next time." ”
Concubine Yu also stepped forward and asked Yongqi to hand over the dagger to her, and reprimanded: "Today is a good day for my sister, how do you dance with a knife and a gun." ”
Yongqi was reluctant, grabbed the dagger and refused to give it to Concubine Yu, and Jing hugged him and said, "Concubine Yu don't worry, Yongqi is obedient." ”
"Sister, your forehead is so high." When Yongqi saw that his sister was protecting him, he became happy again, and exaggeratedly described to He Jing the forehead he had seen, and said admiringly, "The forehead is as tall as Huang Ama." ”
He Jing's cheeks were crimson, it was not good to show anything in front of people, so many concubines and concubines were here, she just smiled and watched Yongqi dance, and the look in her eyes was the beautiful vision of the person to be married for the future.
But the queen was on the side, but she suddenly felt a sour heart and hot eyes, bowed her head to hide her gaffe, and only at this moment did she feel that her daughter was really going to get married, even if it was just separated from the Forbidden City by a palace wall, but she was someone else's wife from now on, and the time under Chenghuan's knees was about to be gone forever.
Hongyan watched silently from the side, happy for the queen and the princess, but thinking that the princess asked her again and again to accompany the queen more in the future, Hongyan also understood that if he Jing got married, Changchun Palace should be much more deserted, and once the seventh elder brother grows up, he will go to the study with his brothers, and no one can accompany the queen all the time.
