Chapter 286: Who Is Really Simple?
As soon as she said this, the queen felt more and more painful.
She knew that the night pearl was a tribute from the Tubo State, and the queen had taken a fancy to it before, but the emperor was reluctant to give it. Who knew that she would be spoiled casually by using this girl as a plaything!
Although it was just a pearl of the night, the queen was originally just pleasing to the eye, but now when she heard the words that this little girl didn't care, she felt like a thorn in her heart.
Because, not in the value of this thing, but in the emperor's heart!
But the third princess didn't want to let go of the queen, and asked, "Queen Mother, you haven't said what New Year's gift you will give Yong'an?"
Hearing this, the queen felt that her head was even bigger, but she could only say lovingly on her face: "How could the queen mother forget you, a little ghost elf? ”
It was a red coral bonsai, about the height of a person, and the best thing was that it was naturally in the shape of a rabbit.
After being polished by the craftsman, this red coral bonsai looks more and more pleasing.
The third princess thanked her, and saw several palace concubines come together to greet the queen.
Today is the first day of the new year, and according to the rules, they want to say goodbye, but they specially rushed to this time, I'm afraid they also want to see the excitement.
Sure enough, after the palace concubines asked for peace, they all chatted with Shi Miaoyu.
It's just that the content of this chat revolves around Gu Qingchi and the two side concubines.
Shi Miaoyu resolved them one by one with a smile on her face, and in the face of those mocking or flattering faces, she all dialed them over.
The queen watched coldly, and felt more and more that she was underestimating Shi Miaoyu, this girl was really the same as her name, slippery and slippery, so that people couldn't catch it.
She was dissatisfied in her heart, so she deliberately only talked to Xue Lingyao, which made Xue Lingyao flattered, and a little faintly complacent.
Xue Lingyao knows that his family background is good, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Xue Gong of the Xue family is the favored minister of the former emperor, even if he is the current emperor, he is also courteous to Xue Gong.
So at this time, when she saw the queen talking to herself, but hanging Shi Miaoyu, she became more and more complacent.
However, Xue Lingyao was stupid, but those palace concubines were all smart, and they cooperated with the queen immediately.
For a while, Shi Miaoyu and Jiang Yuyan were left out in the cold.
Shi Miaoyu didn't care about this, before she came to the palace, she knew that the queen would not be so kind and let herself leave.
simply came, she wanted to see how the queen wanted to make things difficult for herself. Anyway, everyone is watching, she is the princess of Anling, and she will not make mistakes or suffer losses, see what the queen can do with her.
It's just that she didn't expect that the third princess would come to the rescue.
"Aunt Huang, thank you for the gift, Yongan likes it very much. ”
Hearing the little girl's soft voice, as soon as Shi Miaoyu lowered her head, she saw that the third princess was standing in front of her at some point, looking at her with a smile.
For such a soft and cute girl, Shi Miaoyu really has no resistance.
She curled her lips and smiled, "You're welcome, the princess likes it." ”
She didn't know how to communicate with children, and the only child she had ever touched was Ping'an's leather monkey.
So at this time, compared with the soft smile of the third princess, she was a little at a loss.
At this time, I heard a palace concubine say: "If the prince is sober, the side concubine can be regarded as bitter." ”
Hearing this, the third princess turned around in surprise and asked suspiciously: "Queen Mother, aren't you the palace concubines of your father, why are you so interested in the imperial uncle?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the face of the palace concubine who had spoken before instantly froze and turned into a miserable white color.
And the queen also cooled down, and felt that her head hurt even more for a while.
The third princess still has innocent eyes, and her eyes are blinking, which makes people can't be reprimanded.
Liu Guifei still had a smile on her face, glanced at the palace concubine with a vague look, and saw that the queen didn't speak, so she pretended to reprimand: "What are you talking about, they care about your imperial uncle." ”
Hearing this, the doubts in the eyes of the third princess became more and more serious, and she asked a little tangled: "But, shouldn't it be the imperial aunt who cares about the imperial uncle?"
The words that come out of the little girl's mouth are clearly innocent, but the words are probably unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
The three princesses are children, but they are all adults, and it is easy to interpret different meanings from her words.
For example, as the emperor's concubine, but thinking about the foreign man, if the emperor hears it, he doesn't need to do it, they will take a white silk and hang themselves, saving the family!
Seeing that the faces of those palace concubines were ugly, the third princess still looked like she couldn't figure it out. Liu Guifei held back the smile in her heart, and frowned and said, "Don't take it to heart, she is a little child talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”
The queen coughed lightly, looked at the palace concubine who spoke before, and said with an unkind expression: "Concubine Chu, be cautious in your words and deeds, don't take the princess badly!"
She was also careless, let this group of people stumble on Shi Miaoyu, and wanted to see her expose her flaws so that she could start, and she should pick a few times, but what to do when this nemesis is there?
You must know that this princess Yong'an can be described as the nemesis of the people in the palace, relying on the so-called fairy words, I don't know how many palace concubines the emperor has bored!
She said all this, where did the others dare to find excitement again?
These people are all masters of observing words and feelings, and I don't know who first provoked other topics, talking about the recent fashionable tricks and lipsticks in Beijing, so the atmosphere became warm again.
The previous embarrassing scene seemed to have never happened, and Liu Guifei lowered her head and drank tea, ignoring the excitement in the hall.
On the contrary, the third princess is still by Shi Miaoyu's side, talking about the interesting things that have happened to her in these days from time to time.
Shi Miaoyu looked at the innocent smile in front of her, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
In the end, a child who grew up in the inner garden of the deep palace, where is the true innocence? Even if it is a child, he is well versed in the cleverness of speech and ignition skills.
This third princess seems to be naughty and lively, and she may be favored by the emperor, which is really not unreasonable. At the age of only five or six, he can be so familiar with observing words and taking advantage of the situation, it seems that the royal people are really not easy to mess with.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but think of Gu Qingchi.
Isn't Gu Qingchi like this now, his thoughts are hidden deeply, where can outsiders see his true thoughts?
It's just that how many stumbles did he have to go through to cultivate to what he is now?
Shi Miaoyu's heart hurt for no reason, and she felt a little distressed about Gu Qingchi.
Because the queen deliberately snubbed Shi Miaoyu, even if she changed the topic, she didn't bring her.
This is in line with Shi Miaoyu's thoughts, she lowered her head and talked to the third princess with a match, but gradually relaxed a little.
In addition to her, Jiang Yuyan is also in the range of being left out.
It stands to reason that she is a member of the Jiang family, and the queen should be close, but because of such a big rumor some time ago, not only the queen is in her heart, but even the people present are clear. During the Chinese New Year, everyone didn't want to find bad luck, so they deliberately avoided her.
Jiang Yuyan also didn't care about the current situation of being snubbed, all her thoughts were occupied by another thing now.
Since she entered the hall, she has been looking for an opportunity to talk to the queen alone, but she has been sitting here until now, which makes Jiang Yuyan a little anxious.
If she can't gain the queen's trust today, let her dispel her worries about herself, I'm afraid that her life will not be saved.
Fortunately, the opportunity came quickly.
In other words, this opportunity was given by the queen.
"The palace is a little tired, today is the first day of the new year, you all go back to play freely, don't spend it here in the palace. ”
Hearing the queen's order to expel the guests, the concubines present all got up, saluted and left.
Liu Guifei took the third princess back to her palace, and only Shi Miaoyu was left in the huge hall.
The queen glanced at Shi Miaoyu and said with a faint smile: "You all go back, it's freezing this day, and it's cold on the way back and forth." ”
Shi Miaoyu got up and smiled, thanked her, and said, "The courtesy will retire first." ”
She just wanted to turn around, but she didn't want to hear a soft cry, and then she saw that Jiang Yuyan didn't bump into a maid, and the tea cup in the maid's hand was all poured on her clothes.
The light-colored skirt instantly became wet, and it looked extraordinarily obvious.
Jiang Yuyan hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, but she couldn't help but think back in her heart, just now, it was obvious that the maid took advantage of everyone's inattention and bumped into her own.
What is this girl trying to do?
And this picture, she quickly understood.
The palace maid beside the queen glared at the palace people and reprimanded: "What are you doing to eat, why are you so careless?"
Hearing the man's reprimand, the palace man immediately knelt on the ground and trembled and pleaded guilty.
The queen looked at them and said lightly: "That's it, go down and receive the punishment yourself." ”
After she said this, she glanced at Jiang Yuyan, whose clothes were wet, and said again: "Qianbi, you take Concubine Jiang to the inner hall to change clothes." ”
Hearing this, the palace man called Qianbi hurriedly went to Fujiang Yuyan and took her to the inner hall to change clothes.
When this happened, Shi Miaoyu naturally couldn't go first, but when she inadvertently raised her eyes, she saw the queen yawning lightly.
I don't know if the yawn is true or not, but the meaning of sending off the guest is very obvious.
Shi Miaoyu thought about it slightly, and said with a smile because she raised her eyes and said: "When the courtiers came, they heard that the plum blossoms in the palace garden were blooming very well, I wonder if the queen can reward the courtiers for this grace and allow the courtiers to go and have a look?"
The garden is on the way out of the palace, and Shi Miaoyu is waiting for people there, which is also a good place.
The queen was very satisfied with her knowledge, so she nodded and said, "It's okay, you can go." ”
Shi Miaoyu always smiled, and was not surprised by her reply, but said: "In this way, the courtiers will retire first." ”
After the queen nodded and agreed, Shi Miaoyu took Xue Lingyao and left first.
Seeing that she was leaving, Xue Lingyao was still a little reluctant, she didn't expect the queen to be so kind to her, and the group of ladies who were usually high up on the top were now so approachable.
Thinking of what he said in today's conversation with them, Xue Lingyao felt more and more that she was definitely right to marry into the Anling Palace. The future Po Tian Fu is beckoning to her, and when she thinks about it, King Anling's appearance doesn't seem to be so hateful.
At the moment, although she followed Shi Miaoyu out of Fengyi Palace, in fact, her mind had already drifted away.
Although Shi Miaoyu told the queen that she wanted to see the scenery before, but on such a cold day, she was not stupid, she was just looking for an excuse, where would she really go? After all, the queen was like that, I was afraid that she had something to say to Jiang Yuyan, and it would be uninteresting if she was there.
Therefore, in addition to Fengyi Palace, she walked directly towards the outside of the palace.
On the contrary, Xue Lingyao stopped her: "Princess, the concubine wants to see the plum blossoms, so can you wait for Concubine Jiang by the way?"
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu glanced at her with a smile and said, "This is the palace." ”
