Chapter 420: If You Were the Queen
Yu'er said that since she came to the Forbidden City, the dishes made in the imperial dining room have not been able to meet her appetite, although all of them are excellent delicacies, but they can't subdue her spleen and stomach.
It wasn't until today that I suddenly felt the deliciousness of the food, and I finally got on the right path.
Fu Lin said: "Why didn't E-Niang say it, it wasn't until last month that the imperial doctor told you that you were losing weight for no reason, and Erchen asked Su Mala to know that your appetite was getting worse and worse, so he thought about changing the imperial kitchen." ”
Yu'er smiled and said: "You are so busy, how can E-Niang bother you with all good things, you have Su Mala to take care of it, you can't be wrong." ”
Manager Wuya was richly rewarded, and Xie En stepped back, and at this moment he had eaten a lot of food on the table, and it was time to disperse.
Fulin has to go back to the Qianqing Palace to be busy, today is the first day of state affairs after the seal of Layue, and he is very busy.
When he left, he looked at Meng Guqing meaningfully, if it wasn't for the inappropriateness here, there were some words, he couldn't wait to say it to the queen in person, but in the end, he could bear it.
As soon as Fulin left, Meng Guqing naturally didn't want to stay, and ordered Tong Yuanxi and Balya to disperse with her, naturally under today's situation, no matter what, they would no longer embarrass the two of them, and left angrily after leaving Cining Palace.
Balya and Yuan Xi looked at each other, and Balya said: "Noble Tong, don't worry about slaves in the future, New Year's Day is a good day, and your birthday is blessed on this day." ”
Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "Why do you call yourself a slave to me, I'm just a nobleman, I really can't stand it." ”
Balya lowered her eyes and said: "Although I have the heart to be commensurate with Tong Guiren's sisters, but my identity is embarrassing, and I am afraid that I will cause trouble for you, so ...... I shouldn't have said such a thing, but don't be too sad, the queen is not just targeting you, if you think like this, you will feel better. ”
Yuan Xi blessed and said: "Thank you sister for your enlightenment, I wrote it down." ”
Hearing Yuan Xi call her sister, Balya was a little happy and a little uneasy, she didn't want to cause trouble to others, so she took her palace maid back to the small courtyard.
Pomegranate, who had been waiting in front of the door, came up and said, "Miss, are you okay?" I knew I was going to enter the door with you, and I was about to freeze to death outside. ”
Yuan Xi glanced at her: "You deserve it, you don't want to think about it, what kind of person is the Queen Mother, so gentle and kind, can you beat me?" ”
But as soon as she turned around after speaking, she was surprised to see the Queen Mother standing in front of the door, which frightened her and Pomegranate at a loss.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Yu'er walked slowly and looked up at the moonlit and starry night, "It's not too early, the doors in the palace are about to be locked, why don't you go back earlier?" ”
Su Mala smiled and said, "I just met a nobleman, so it's better to take a walk with him." She said to Yuan Xi, "The Queen Mother has eaten too much tonight, and she is afraid that she will not move at night, so she will come out for a walk, and it is okay for Tong Guiren to accompany her for a walk?" ”
"Yes." Yuan Xi responded, and when she saw Su Mala glaring at her, she was so nervous that she couldn't do it, but she still understood, stepped forward cautiously, and stretched out her hand to support the queen mother.
Yu'er said angrily: "I'm not old yet, what do I need someone to help me when I walk?" ”
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, his hands hung in the air, and he was embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, but Yu'er stretched out her hand, touched a pair of slightly cool little hands, and said gently: "Even if you are young and vigorous, you must know maintenance." You've just been sick, don't say anything else, your parents know that you're not well, how can they eat? Now that you are married into the palace, you can't be filial to your knees, and the greatest filial piety to them is to take care of yourself. ”
The group slowly walked in the direction of Jingren Palace, Yuan Xi followed closely by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother asked her a lot of words, she also answered honestly one by one, and said aggrievedly: "Other nobles don't play with their concubines, and they don't care about their concubines." ”
Yu'er sighed: "Have you reflected on yourself, do you know that in this misunderstanding and contradiction, you are also at fault?" ”
Yuan Xi replied reverently: "Queen Mother, the concubine reflects every time, not to say nice things to coax you, but just to ......"
"What?" Yu'er asked.
"It's just that the concubines can't make any sense when they reflect on it." Yuan Xi's face turned red, "I can't catch up...... can't catch up with the queen and the queen changing tricks to toss the concubines. ”
Yu'er laughed, and Su Mala also laughed, so frightened that Yuan Xi's legs were weak.
"Tell me, if you were the queen, how would you treat the harem concubines?" Yu'er asked.
When Yuan Xi heard this, he was frightened, and immediately knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't dare to think about it, and she can't think about it, please forgive me, please, please ask the concubine if you have anything else?" ”
Pomegranate didn't know what was going on, and when she saw the young lady kneeling, she also knelt down, muttering in her heart, this ground is really cold.
Fortunately, Su Mala had already moved to help, and smiled at Yu'er: "Look at what the slave said, what a good child." ”
Yu'er was a little pleased: "Child, I can see that your mother really bothered to teach you, even if you are not smart enough, you know how to measure the rules, how rare it is." It's a pity that you're not very lucky, and you're missing a few eyes. ”
Yuan Xi lowered his head, not daring to respond casually, and his heart was beating even faster.
"Guard your duty in the future, don't be afraid of the queen, there is still me in this palace." Yu'er said majestically, "But I also wrote it down, don't use my words as a gold medal arrow, if there is no one in my eyes from now on, I can protect you, and naturally I can abolish you." ”
"Concubines remember." Yuan Xi trembled, although the Queen Mother said that she wanted to protect her, she still scared her.
"Looking at this situation now, it's a little difficult not to let yourself be bullied, but it's much easier not to bully others." Yu'er said, "Listening to such words, you must be wronged in your heart, but what I promise is your future, whether you have the blessing to wait or not, it depends on yourself." ”
"Yes......"
On this year's birthday, it was really different, Yuan Xi said goodbye to the Queen Mother and took the pomegranate back to Jingren Palace alone, and his head was still confused.
Every word of the Queen Mother's words was still in her ears, but she was a little confused, and she had to wait until she went back to calm down and think about it slowly.
On this side, Yu'er took Su Mala to continue her walk back to Cining Palace, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed: "The ancient moon shines on the present, and she looks at all the good and evil in the world, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on the individual's cultivation and creation." ”
"Gege, do you think that the noble Tong will be favored by the emperor?" Su Mala asked.
"If only I had the ability." Yu'er shook her head, "I don't know if Tong Yuanxi can have a future, but I look at Fulin and Meng Guqing, I'm afraid it won't last long." Meng Guqing, the child, has already been determined, if she has no intention of being kind, the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will not be able to help her. I told you early in the morning that Fulin is fresh to her, it is to satisfy the vacancy in her heart, even if the love between men and women may not last long, let alone love. ”
"But?" Su Mala felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
"Afraid of what?" Yu'er said proudly, "We have all experienced the change of dynasties, is there anything bigger than this in the world?" ”
