Chapter 223 step-concubine

Du Ruo's ceremony of canonizing the step-concubine of King Yu was held in Jinse Palace, He Chang'an was supported by the silver needle, and when he came to Jinse Palace, Jinse Palace had gathered a lot of people, and a few nobles who were not very favored promised to flatter Concubine Qing's side, chattering, but what she said, she couldn't hear clearly, her eyes swept lightly, and she saw Queen Chen sitting at the upper hand, wearing a black and gold queen's court dress, with a graceful atmosphere, but unfortunately the people who followed her, but it was Ni Concubine who had always been towards her, which inevitably made people feel that the queen was helpless。 Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info He Chang'an thought about it, still holding the hand of the silver needle, and walked in the direction of the queen.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother. ”

He Chang'an smiled, squatted down and was about to bow down, but was quickly supported by the queen signaling Xiju: "It's been five months, and I don't know the weight of it." Since the body is heavy, there is no need to ask for peace, and filial piety is not on this in the first place. ”

Concubine Ni also glanced at He Chang'an and smiled very sincerely: "I haven't had time to thank you for the last time." If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I'd really want to be a person with a heart. I didn't understand the situation before, and there may be some inappropriateness between the words, and I hope you don't take it to heart. ”

Today's Ni Concubine is dressed very plainly, just wearing a moon-colored Fushou brocade long silk skirt, and the two hostas on her head are just two hostas that can no longer be ordinary, which is really not noticeable at all, He Chang'an understands in his heart that now the four princes are thinking about Huang Shiyu, who is asking to marry, and the Huang family behind them is also on the cusp, Ni Concubine is so low-key, it is nothing more than hoping that everyone will not notice her, so that everyone's eyes will not be focused on the marriage of the four princes.

Thinking about this woman's almost desireless life, He Changan also felt sympathy. In the eyes of many people, Concubine Ni is a very lucky person, as an ordinary palace maid, she does not have the appearance of a top child, but she was lucky enough to be blessed by the emperor and gave birth to a prince. is no matter how high the status is, like Queen Chen, without the fate of children, this life will be desolate.

But in He Chang'an's opinion, she lived too hard, if she wasn't favored by the emperor, she could also be like an ordinary palace maid, when she reached the age to release the palace to marry, find a husband who loves her, and spend her life with her husband and children, instead of being like now, in the palace, you have to think about it thousands of times in your mind if you don't say a word, for fear that you will accidentally offend people, and even affect your son, and there is no good future.

But in this way, it did not bring the four princes a better future than the other princes. Origin is always a gap that the four princes cannot overcome.

"Concubine Ni is all for the future of the four princes, if I hadn't given birth to Rongtai, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to understand such thoughts, but now, I understand. ”

Empress Chen's eyes had a faint dark blue, obviously for the sake of the prince of Siguo during this time, and she was also worried about it in a thousand ways, and she couldn't sleep, but at this time, she still comforted Concubine Ni in turn: "You don't have to worry too much about it, didn't Your Majesty mention the matter of choosing the princess for the fourth child during this time? ”

As the three of them were talking, they heard the eunuch at the door shouting: "The good concubine has arrived--", and then, I saw the good concubine wearing a green cloud hook lotus peony pattern silk jacket skirt, leading the three princesses in one hand, shaking the flower beauty fan in the other hand, and walked in, although she has long passed the age of the little girl, she can be regarded as the adoptive mother of the third princess, but perhaps because she has never given birth, wearing the cardamom girl's favorite green color, I don't think there is anything inappropriate.

She didn't make fun of Concubine Qing first, but first pulled the third princess to ask the queen to say goodbye, and then picked up a seat with a smile and sat down, which was the first seat where the queen started, and the one sitting opposite was Concubine Ni.

--That's Concubine Qing's position.

Since Du Ruo went to Yuwang's Mansion, the eldest girl of Jinse Palace has changed to a girl with Danfeng eyes, named Begonia, Begonia saw that the good concubine sat down in the position of Concubine Qing, walked forward in three steps and made two steps, and hit a thousand children: "Good concubine Niangniang auspicious, I heard that you usually like to eat rose cakes, our mother specially instructed the slave maid to prepare a good rose cake for you, it is the craftsmanship of the small kitchen of Jinse Palace, you see ......"

Following the direction of Begonia's finger, the place where the rose cake was placed was moved to the side, and the concubine smiled: "It seems that the palace is sitting in the wrong seat, but it is a coincidence, before the palace loved this rose cake very much, and I felt uncomfortable if I didn't eat it for a day, but recently I felt like I was eating." ”

This is a clear refusal to move position.

Empress Chen felt that the scene was a bit deadlocked, so she saw Concubine Ni stand up: "I heard the fourth prince say that the rose cake in Qing Niangniang's palace tastes very authentic. This palace has never eaten it, but now this palace is greedy for this appetite, and the good concubine sister won't mind, right?"

Concubine Liang was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face froze because of this, obviously she didn't expect that Concubine Ni, who had always been indisputable with the world, would speak at this time, and after a while, she seemed to react: "Naturally, I don't mind, my sister likes it, it's the blessing of these rose cakes." ”

But He Changan keenly caught a hint of jealousy from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

It's just that she can't understand it, Concubine Liang is now the most favored woman in the palace, and Concubine Qing has been in the limelight for a long time, if it is said that Concubine Liang's move is to fight in the ring with Concubine Qing, it seems to be a little different, but why did her eyes reveal such a look?

When He Chang'an was secretly wondering, he heard the voice of the celebrant eunuch: "The auspicious time is coming, please Princess Yu to perform the canonization ceremony--"

saw Du Ruo, who was wearing a princess's court dress, first kowtowed to the queen three times in a regular manner. The princess's court dress is second only to the queen's court dress in a dignified atmosphere, but Du Ruo was born petite and exquisite, and has always been a soft style, and now she is pressed by the huge crown, which really makes people feel a little disobedient, which makes He Changan suddenly remember that when she first saw her, she was wearing a short jacket that was not new, and followed behind the second and third girls of the Bai family, quite a sense of resignation, who would have thought that this girl would become the princess's concubine and the mother of the emperor's grandson today?

Although Queen Chen doesn't like Du Ruo, such a happy day is also measured, and it is not unusual to say a few words to serve King Yu respectfully from now on and spread out more for the royal family.

The next thing is to ask Du Ruo to give tea to Concubine Qing, a serious mother-in-law. In Concubine Qing's opinion, Du Ruo is the person who □□ out by herself, the most intelligent and able to assist her son, compared to the daughter-in-law who took the lead, she has the noble status of the daughter of the princess, but it is useless except for the jealousy with her son, I don't know how many times better.

According to the rules, it should have been after giving tea to Concubine Qing, the queen would have issued Princess Yu's golden book, so He Changan could clearly feel that after giving tea to Concubine Qing, Du Ruo was obviously relieved.

At this time, Empress Chen motioned to the celebrant to bring up something, and when the celebrant walked in, everyone could see clearly that it was He Ping'an's spiritual seat.

The first to change her face was not Du Ruo, but Concubine Qing, she didn't like He Ping'an's daughter-in-law for more than a day or two, and she always felt that she was a stumbling block for her son, and now at the canonization ceremony of the daughter-in-law she liked, the queen actually invited He Ping'an's tablet, isn't it a slap in the face?

"What does it mean for the queen to ask for the tablet of the dead on such a good day?" Concubine Qing and the queen have always been straightforward when they talk, and every word they say makes people feel like they are stuck in their throats. But Concubine Qing didn't care about these at all, in her heart, the only thing that could make her a little afraid was Bai Qianyun, Queen Herui, but so what, that woman hadn't been knocked down by her? As for the current queen, she has never been favored by the emperor, and she has just had the queen's shelf, so what is there to be afraid of?

Empress Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying: "According to our Daxuan custom, when the wife dies and the wife who continues to enter the house, she must perform the concubine ceremony before the husband's wife's spiritual position. Although there are more rules in the palace, the folk habits are to be respected, that is, when the palace was canonized as the queen, it was also in front of the spirit of Queen Herui to serve the concubine. Why, isn't it our new Princess Yu who doesn't want to?"

The audience was silent.

Since Empress Chen can say that she was also bowing in front of Empress Herui when she was named the successor, it shows that she is determined to give this Princess Du a horse today. And if she did this, even if Concubine Qing cried that the emperor would go with her, she would only end up being reprimanded by the emperor, after all, the emperor and Empress Herui had a very close relationship back then, which is a well-known thing.

The daughter-in-law thanked the queen mother. After a period of silence, I could only hear Du Ruo kowtow to the queen in a regular manner, and then kowtow to He Ping'an's spiritual position, and no one could feel the slightest emotion from her.

After the kowtow, Du Ruo really became Princess Yu, and Concubine Qing also ordered several tables of family banquets to be prepared, just to celebrate the joy of this new daughter-in-law's canonization, but with the previous play, everyone has their own little abacus for Du Ruo in their hearts.

He Changan was about to walk towards his seat, but suddenly heard someone behind him stop him, looked back, and found that it was Song Duanping, the side concubine of King Yu, who had barely said anything to her: "At the poetry meeting back then, as proud as us, no one would have thought that now the position of Princess Yu was actually pocketed by a little maid. ”
