647 is becoming more and more like the Queen Mother (and newer.)
The palace maids helped Qingque up with all hands and feet, and asked her if she was okay with concern, most of them were from Jingyang Palace, Qingque had to squeeze out a smile and said: "It's okay, my feet are slipping, it's cold this day, people can't help but walk fast, follow me so quickly, are you okay?" ”
The palace maids knew that Fujin was blamed by Concubine Yu and was unhappy, so they were so rampage, they didn't dare to talk much, and carefully supported Qingque to continue to hurry, but saw a warm sedan chair in front of them swaying in, there are not many people in this palace who can take a sedan chair all the way into the palace from the gate of the imperial city, so a few old ladies will not go out on a cold day, and it should be Princess Hejing.
The person holding the sedan chair over there saw the scene here, and also said something to the people in the sedan chair, the warm sedan chair stopped not far away, and Jing hugged the black fox with a slippery and shiny black fox from the sedan chair out, and the little eunuch came forward to play an umbrella on the side, she walked slowly to the Qingque and said: "When they entered the door, they said that Prince Rong Fujin was also there, and I still wanted one more person to talk lively, why are you leaving?" ”
She glanced at the people behind Qingque, whether it was the master or the slave, they all seemed to have rolled in the snow, their temples were wet, their noses were red from the cold, and there were traces of snow on their bodies, she said: "Such a big snow, don't you have an umbrella?" ”
Qingque reluctantly laughed: "When I saw this goose feather snow, I was excited for a while, so I was greedy for fun, and let the imperial sister laugh." Sister Huang hurriedly went back to the sedan chair, don't freeze. ”
He Jing leaned in front of her, slapped the cheek that was a little embarrassed, and asked softly, "Are you crying?" ”
Qingque shook his head again and again, rubbed his frozen cheeks and said, "No, it's frozen, this snowflake has melted on my body, and you can see that my hair is also wet." ”
He Jing stuffed the hand stove in his arms into her and said with a smile: "Did this snowflake still fall into her eyes?" ”
Qingque averted Hejing's gaze uneasily, and hidden: "You said you were joking." ”
He Jing looked up at the long and endless palace road, and sighed: "That's it, I suddenly don't want to go in." She took Qingque's hand and said, "Is there something waiting for you at home, if not, how about you go with me to the princess's mansion to sit down, your nephews have brought mare's milk wine, I don't know if you are used to drinking it, I miss it for many days." ”
Qingque gradually calmed down, she was Yongqi's Fujin in the end, and she couldn't embarrass her husband outside, so she bowed steadily and said: "If you don't delay the imperial sister to enter the palace, I'm really happy to go to the princess's mansion to taste mare's milk wine, but you turn back halfway now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
He Jing smiled: "It's okay, how many people in this Forbidden City do you think are looking forward to seeing me?" ”
Qingque didn't say anything on her lips, but she thought in her heart, no matter if there was anyone in the Forbidden City looking forward to seeing the princess, she would break into the palace with such a big snowfall, she must be lonely and unbearable to come to talk to someone. But the princess is duplicitous at this time, thinking that she is a proud daughter of the sky, and her life circumstances are nothing more than that.
In Yanxi Palace, Hongyan boiled sweet rice wine hotly, and the freshly beaten rice cakes were rolled with soybean flour mixed with white sugar. Hongyan asked him to go to the door to see if the imperial sister was here, but unfortunately at this time, He Jing had already turned back halfway and went home with Qingque. When Cherry sent the news, Hongyan couldn't find anyone back, so she could only ask her to call the children, and then order Xiao Lingzi to send some snacks to Zhongcui Palace and Chengqian Palace.
She carefully fed Yongyan to eat rice cakes here, the child was anxious, it was easy to choke when eating rice cakes, and she couldn't wait for Eniang to divide it into small pieces and give it to him, Yongyan was coquettish, and was patted on the head by her sister and reprimanded: "You can't eat yet, you are a boy, what do you always hum and chirp?" ”
Yongyan was about to cry, and he was afraid that his sister would scold him again, so he got into Hongyan's arms and hugged Eniang and refused to let go, Hongyan praised this and that, and Yongyan didn't hold grudges, he was scolded by his sister just now, and turned around and pestered his sister to play together. Seeing their brothers and sisters love each other so much, Hongyan was very pleased, and remembered that Xiao Qi was still a little bit at that time, but he taught Yonglu a decent lesson, and the sadness that couldn't help but rise was suppressed, the past was over, and she was already very happy.
Because Hongyan ordered Xiao Lingzi to send a snack to Chengqian Palace, he wanted to give the eighth princess a taste, but asked Lan Guiren to seize the opportunity to come over to thank her, Hongyan knew that she was also lonely, and since she had made time to accompany and respect today, she was not in a hurry to send someone away at this time, so she talked to Lan Guiren for a while.
The women in the palace naturally said that the length of the palace was too long, and after just such a while, Lan Guiren already knew the movements of Jingyang Palace in the back, and said that Wufu Jin ran out of Jingyang Palace with a hum, and I don't know what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said, so much snow didn't even hit an umbrella, so they went to the outside of the Forbidden City.
Hongyan smiled faintly: "You are really well-informed, even if it is such a big snow, you also know about the things in Jingyang Palace?" ”
Lan Guiren smiled awkwardly: "The concubine led the eighth princess to play with the snowman, and I happened to see Wufujin running out." ”
Hongyan asked: "You also saw the things in Jingyang Palace?" ”
Lan Guiren pursed his lips, bowed his head and said, "The concubine guessed." ”
Hongyan persuaded: "Side Fujin has a miscarriage, Concubine Yu is in a bad mood these days, the most bullying person is an honest person, Concubine Yu is about to get angry, if you know that you are playing right and wrong, what good can you do?" ”
Lan Guiren hurriedly explained: "The concubine is just chatting with you, and if you don't tell others, you won't necessarily tell Concubine Yu." ”
Hongyan handed her a glass of sweet rice wine and said with a smile: "What do you say?" ”
Lan Guiren was not stupid, he warmed his hands with rice wine, bowed his head and said: "The concubine understands, as long as the concubine doesn't go around to say it, but Niangniang, why don't the concubines see it alone?" When I look back, others say everywhere, don't count it on the concubines. Seeing that Hongyan was silent, Lan Guiren said again, "Concubine Yu Niangniang really wants to give the fifth elder brother another side of Fujin, but this matter seems to be yellow, and Concubine Yu has several unhappy things." ”
Hongyan regretted chatting with Lan Guiren a little, but she also understood that there was no place to hide right and wrong in the huge Forbidden City, and she didn't know how Concubine Yu could save face this time, and the fifth elder brother who used to protect her mother everywhere was no longer there, and now Yongqi tried to hide from Concubine Yu as much as possible, and pushed everything to Qingque to face.
After Lan Guiren left, the nurse brought the crying sixteenth elder brother to Hongyan to coax, Yongyan looked at it decently, and asked in a milky voice: "Eniang, why hasn't my brother grown up yet, I can't wait to play with him." ”
Hongyan couldn't remember what she said at the time, but she remembered what she was thinking. Maybe one day the little brothers will start to hide from themselves, and the boys will grow up and have their own ideas, and they don't love their mother's nagging around, and Hongyan won't blame them. But what will happen in the future, Hongyan doesn't know, and she has to cooperate with the emperor to grasp the future for them, she may not be able to really let go, but she must be a good mother-in-law, and she must not let the grievances she suffered and the helplessness faced by Qingque be repeated on her daughter-in-law.
The last news that day came was that Wufujin was drunk in the princess's mansion, and he Jing would not have made such a thing known to everyone about his younger siblings, but the drunken Qingque cried and laughed in the princess's mansion, and finally had to let Yongqi rush to take care of it. So people inside and outside saw it, and then the news came out, and everyone in the palace was talking about it as if it was a joke, and Concubine Yu didn't know what evil she had hit for a while, not only did she not have a wishful thing, but she also lost face everywhere, and she fell ill in this anger.
The eighth elder brother was raised by Concubine Yu, and when he learned that Concubine Yu was ill, he took Fujin into the palace to greet him, and they were very filial, but Concubine Yu's own flesh and blood never showed up with various excuses. Fang Fujin couldn't go out because he was in a small confinement, Qingque was drunk and sick from the cold, his daughters-in-law couldn't count on it, and Yongqi hid far away.
After the eighth elder brother took his wife away that day, Concubine Yu said to Bai Li desolately: "Until now, I actually understand what the queen mother's mood is, and all my efforts are for their good, but they don't appreciate it, and it became my fault in the end." ”
Bai Li thought about it, plucked up the courage and said: "Don't talk about the queen mother, according to the slave maid, if you let go of the master, don't worry about anything, and you won't be angry." You know the temperament of the fifth elder brother, since you know everything, you know that there are some things that you can't get by on the fifth elder brother's side, so why bother to be lucky. ”
Concubine Yu said with tears in her eyes: "When did my hard work become a fluke, who am I for?" ”
At this time, the palace maid in front of the door came to tell her, saying that Concubine Ling was going to visit outside the door, Concubine Yu trembled in her heart, grabbed Bai Li's hand and didn't say anything, Bai Li understood what the master meant, and folded the quilt for Concubine Yu and said: "Don't worry, the slave knows what to say." ”
Hongyan hit a wall, left something and left good-naturedly, she understood that Concubine Yu didn't want to see her, but in fact, Hongyan didn't know if her son and daughter-in-law would be able to get along with her well after twenty years. She didn't look at the excitement for a while, on the contrary, she took these things very seriously, and even wanted to remind the emperor to do something, so as not to let Concubine Yu chill her heart. But she also knows Concubine Yu very well, and the person that Concubine Yu can't see at this time must be herself.
When there was no one in private, Cherry muttered in front of Hongyan: "Concubine Yu's temperament, why is it more and more like the Queen Mother." ”
Naturally, he had to be blamed by Hongyan, but Hongyan also sighed: "No wonder it has been passed down from generation to generation, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't be good, is it true that mother-in-law will change?" ”
Cherry smiled: "Don't talk about it far away, you are like Yin Fujin in front of you, aren't you a good mother-in-law?" The county lord and our princess all treat Fujin as their own mother. ”
Hongyan shook his head: "This is different, the identity of the county lord and the Buddha is special, and when you get serious, Ruyin has to salute when she sees the Buddha." ”
Cherry felt that it made sense, and said worriedly: "Things have become like this, I don't know what the situation is in the Fifth Elder Brother's Mansion now, a person as stable as Wufujin would get drunk like mud in the princess's house." ”
