409 Flower Branches (There are also updates.)
Hongyan greeted each other and passed each other, their respective minds were clean and pure, Hongyan calmly accepted all the good things about Fu Heng, but other than that, he would never think about it more, and he would not take the initiative to trouble him. She didn't want to "use" Fu Heng one day, the couple had paid enough for themselves.
Hongyan just gave Ruyin sincerity, gave Fu Heng respect, and got the reward of the weight of their lives, think about it, if there is a defect elsewhere in this life, she shouldn't regret it, someone treats her like this in this life, what is not satisfied?
It's a pity that people's hearts are always greedy and selfish, and the same is true of Hongyan, the emperor's five-year covenant with her is the thing she longs for the most at the moment, if she is really a detached person, how can she be shaken by the emperor's words. For her, who is still obsessed with childbirth, raising a child after five years as if she was born is her own will make her yearn for it, at least five years later, no one will talk about her so viciously.
The Empress Dowager's 60th birthday, in the seemingly insipid preparations, Hongyan and Concubine Yu also worked hard, no less than the grand luxury of the 50th birthday of the year, the emperor also gave the world a tax-free amnesty in the name of the Empress Dowager, and everyone in the world knows that the emperor is filial to his biological mother.
After the birthday, the excitement in the palace has not yet dissipated, the queen mother set up a banquet in Ningchun Hall, plus the queen and Jia Guifei Tianxi, the palace continued to be lively for a while, for the concubines who are bored in life, there is a drama to watch and lively, it is better than staying alone in the empty room all day long, since the queen mother is invited, she naturally comes to Ningchun Hall every day to have fun. On the contrary, Hongyan took the place of the queen to pick up those old concubines and Fujin in the palace, and even when Concubine Yu entered the garden, she went to pick it up, and she was so busy that she had no time to rest.
On this day, Concubine Yu came to visit the garden again, Hongyan and Concubine Yu came to greet her, Concubine Yu seemed to be a little tired, but the Queen Mother was so interested in inviting her, and she couldn't shirk it. Hongyan and Concubine Yu prepared a shoulder for her, and walked into the door talking all the way, saying that Concubine Jia and the queen were pregnant, Concubine Yu obviously deliberately poked Hongyan's sore spot, mentioning: "There are many home remedies in the folk that are very effective, my little grandson's nurse is a child who eats home remedies, if Concubine Ling has this meaning, I will let someone send you home remedies another day." ”
Concubine Yu said unceremoniously: "My sister is the person at the top of the emperor's heart, how can she use this recipe that I don't know who made it, but the concubine turned around to remind Prince Fujin, how can I let the little brother use such a nurse, I don't know what I have eaten, I am afraid that the milk will not support people." ”
Concubine Yu smiled, seeing that Hongyan was silent, she didn't bother to say more, she swayed her shoulders and walked forward, and saw a group of people over there from afar, the old lady squinted her eyes and looked at it, and said: "That's not where the emperor is, who is the emperor talking to?" ”
Hongyan and Concubine Yu looked over and saw the emperor's shoulder stopped on the side of the road, and there was a young girl standing on the side of the road, talking to the emperor with her neck up, with her head and eyebrows, smiling smartly, looking forward to her beautiful eyes, and living out of the beauty who walked out of the poem. This morning, because of the snow, the trees and flowers were covered with snow, and she stood in the snow in a plum red coat, which was particularly distinct.
"Whose child is that?" Concubine Yu asked.
Hongyan and Concubine Yu glanced at each other, and Concubine Yu said: "It's the young lady of Lord Sutu's family, and the concubine has probably never seen it." ”
Concubine Yu said: "I haven't seen it, but I know, isn't it the queen mother who chose a good life to cultivate, and will leave it to the emperor in the future?" ”
Hongyan glanced at that side again, the emperor had a faint smile on his face, the little girl stood at the bottom and was full of energy, in a trance like in the past, when Hongyan was still a palace maid, every time she met the emperor on the road, she lowered her eyes and didn't want to look at it anymore, and Concubine Yu said: "The concubine doesn't know that there is such a thing, maybe it will be left to the prince, if the concubine likes it, just ask the queen mother to ask for it." ”
Concubine Yu glanced at her blushing face and sneered: "Which of the people the Queen Mother wants to decide, can go?" I'd like to come. ”
The emperor walked to another place, and Hongyan sent the concubine to Ningchun Hall, and when Concubine Yu entered the table, they withdrew. There are other princesses of the palace who are coming, and they have to answer, and when the sisters come out side by side, they see a young girl in front of them with three or four palace maids, holding a flower basket in their hands, and there are plum blossom branches in the flower basket that have not even spit out the buds.
Concubine Yu said politely: "It's cold on the ground, Miss doesn't have to be polite, the Queen Mother is thinking about you, hurry back." ”
Xiao Dai Jia's eyebrows curled and smiled: "The concubine said that she would break a few plum blossom branches and raise them in the house to see if she could see them bloom, and the courtiers were also very curious." ”
Concubine Yu saw that she was familiar, and she couldn't show her timidity, so she said a few words casually, and when she was about to leave with Hongyan, Xiao Dai Jiashi suddenly said: "Concubine Ling, the palace flower on the back of your bun is loose." ”
Hongyan stood still and didn't move, and the cherry next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Zheng with the palace flower for her, and Hongyan took a closer look at Dai Jia's family, the little girl was really beautiful like a painted person. Hongyan is the best appearance in this palace, and it can't be said to be compared at the moment, but she can't go back to this cardamom years, I don't know if the emperor just saw this girl on his shoulder, whether he was attracted by her, or remembered the past, even Concubine Yu knew that Dai Jia's family was the person selected by the Queen Mother, and Hongli also knew it. Then what is the reason not to be willing to send the beauties to your side in the name of righteousness?
Hongyan's mood was not very good, even if she didn't show her face, Concubine Yu could guess it, and after she was a little farther away, she said: "Sooner or later, there will be such a day, you have also been a budding flower and bone, and she will have a day of blooming sooner or later." If you look at her like this today, she will look at others like this one day, not to mention that you are still so young, where are you like us, you are really old. ”
Concubine Yu is the same age as the emperor, and she is already in the age of not being confused, but the women in the palace are extremely well maintained, and she has a broad heart, and she really can't tell that she is a forty-year-old person, she also smiled bitterly: "But when I say this kind of thing now, I really don't care anymore, but you still care if it's not, why should I force you." ”
In the Ningchun Hall, Xiao Dai Jia's family presented the folded flower branches to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother exaggerated a few words, and asked her to go to the bottle for people to watch, Concubine Yu sat down with the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "The concubine has lived a handful of years, and today is the real beauty, when the Nalan family was known as the first beauty in Manchuria, it must be those people who have not seen the world, in the end, it is still the Queen Mother's discerning eyes." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Dai Jia's delicate figure on the side, and smiled coldly: "When you say that, don't you mean that Hongli has never seen the world?" ”
Concubine Yu was a little embarrassed, so she introduced the topic to others, and said: "I came all the way with Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu, and saw this child talking to the emperor on the side of the road. ”
The Queen Mother frowned, and said angrily: "Concubine Ling really said that to you? ”
Concubine Yu has a weak heart, although the words were not said by Concubine Ling, but Concubine Yu did mention it, she was sure of her heart, and continued: "It's just a joke, Concubine Ling is also joking with her concubine." ”
The Queen Mother said: "As a concubine, how can she say such frivolous words, you should punish her for standing in the snow and reflecting." ”
Concubine Yu sneered: "What is the identity of the concubine......
The Queen Mother said angrily: "Then I'll help you make her understand what your identity is." ”
The atmosphere in the audience was suddenly not good, and the people below were a little panicked, and they didn't know what was going on, even Mama Hua was inexplicable. But seeing Xiao Dai Jia holding a vase, I don't know if there is a calculation in my heart, or the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, completely ignoring the subtle atmosphere between the queen mother and the concubine at this moment, smiled Yingying offered the vase and said: "The queen mother, you see, this can't be done, I just asked the gardener in the garden, and stored water in the bottle, as long as you are diligent in cooking, you can also bloom flowers." When the flowers bloom, you must remember to invite the courtiers to come and see them. ”
Mama Hua hurriedly came up to play the round, and said with a smile: "Miss walked back and forth in the snow for the master's flower appreciation, and cut flower branches in the cold water, which is strange and hard." The emperor has just sent a batch of jewelry, which is for you to reward, the master might as well bring it, please Miss pick one you like first. ”
The queen mother fiddled with the flower branch a few times, full of anticipation of the most beautiful flowers blooming on the top, through the flower branch to see the little beauty holding the vase, but also hoped that she could change the situation in the palace in the future, change the mother-son relationship between herself and the emperor, so she responded to Mama Hua's words, ordered someone to send the jewelry, let the little Dai Jia pick first.
The concubines are scattered everywhere, looking at these things in their eyes, although they don't know why the Queen Mother is unhappy, but Xiao Dai Jia's few words made the Queen Mother relieved, and she is really a person she likes, and she is pleasing to the eye when she does anything she says, and she can't get a good word for people who don't like it.
Ying Guiren snorted very disdainfully, lowered his head to take the tea to drink, felt that the cup was cold, and ordered the palace maid to change the tea with a cold face, but there was a humane on the side: "Sister Ying, don't toss, where is our turn to drink hot tea here, I don't know when this person will come into the garden justifiably, when we see her, we will probably curtsy and serve her tea." ”
"I'd love to see her go into the garden." Ying Guiren picked up the hot tea sent by the palace maid, opened the lid of the tea bowl, and the heat rose, blocking her delicate face behind the mist, and only heard the cold and faint words, "Don't you want to see how heavy Concubine Ling weighs in the emperor's heart?" Doesn't it mean that the word order is the meaning of the person in the heart? ”
Everyone whispered, the little Dai Jia had already chosen the jewelry, and the Queen Mother personally wore it on her hair bun in public, that loving look, as if she was feeling sorry for her granddaughter, and then those jewelry were sent down, no one cared, but everyone had it, even Hongyan, when the people of Ning Chuntang sent the jewelry to the heaven and earth family in spring, she was standing in front of the window in a daze.
