Chapter 222 Garnet Red
When the master and servant arrived at the queen's dormitory, the bedroom was lit with soothing sandalwood, and the aroma of some pomegranate flowers could be faintly smelled in the middle of the sandalwood, and there was a set of tea sets in front of the queen, who seemed to be studying the tea ceremony, and was not surprised to see He Changan coming, and beckoned to her with a smile: "I heard the second child say, you are a good at cooking tea, the ones that Hua Nan brought back last time, the refreshments you made yourself, I also ate them, and it is indeed a taste that the imperial dining room can't make." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Xiju has newly harvested some pomegranate flowers and dried them, and I was thinking about how to make flower tea for it, and it just so happened that you came. β
Obviously, everything was ready and waiting for her to come, but it was so natural and proper, He Changan really didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the queen's gourd. But since the queen has said this, it is really not good to have any excuses, so she stepped forward, looked at the dried pomegranate flowers contained in the delicate ruyi pattern jar, and said with a smile: "This year's pomegranate flowers are blooming really well, and thanks to the heart of the orange girl, she knows to put these flowers away, otherwise, it will be a pity to fall into mud and dust." β
The queen glanced at the smiling Xiju, turned her head again, looked at Chang'an and said, "You know how to praise her, and then you can praise this girl without knowing how thick the sky is." Bengong feels that this pomegranate flower, whether it is seen in the eyes or eaten in the mouth, is just an elegant taste. It's just that now with flower tea, I have tried more than a dozen kinds of flowers, but I always feel that the taste is not right. β
He Changan looked towards the other side of the embroidered couch, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen plates sparsely placed, each plate contained different dried flowers, and even the dried osmanthus and dried chrysanthemums from last year, which were carefully collected by the queen, and now they were all held out: "'The fall of autumn chrysanthemums at the end of the night' was originally a very interesting thing, but this pomegranate flower is a flower that blooms wantonly and arrogantly, and it really can't be matched with Qiu Ju." I wonder if the queen mother has ever tried to flush with this pomegranate flower alone?"
Xiju has always been very eye-catching, and when he heard He Changan say this, he immediately dug up the dried pomegranate flowers with a silver spoon, but it became a pomegranate flower tea in a short time, compared to the previous queen racking her brains to match all kinds of collocation, this is really the most trouble-free method.
The queen took the pomegranate flower tea, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and was full of praise: "Say that you are a person who understands tea, it is really good, Rao is the palace has made so many combinations, and there is no one who can beat your plain pomegranate flower water." β
Originally, it was said that only pomegranate flowers were just casually mentioned by He Changan, but at this moment she was thinking there, if this method didn't work, what else could be matched, so she heard the queen's appreciation, and continued: "It's just that although this pomegranate flower tea is good, if there is no tea to accompany it, it will be boring." If the queen mother let the people in the small kitchen pick dried pomegranate flowers mixed with water chestnut flour together, steam them in a steamer, and use them as refreshments, the taste should be good. Just ......"
"Just what?"
He Changan looked at Queen Chen, who was calm and calm, just closed her eyes and tasted tea: "Since ancient times, this pomegranate has symbolized many sons and many blessings, and today's eldest brother's concubine gave birth to a daughter, which can be regarded as a good omen for many sons and many blessings, what does the queen mother plan to reward Concubine Du?"
It seems that she had expected He Changan to ask this question, Empress Chen opened her eyes slightly, but she didn't look at He Changan: "Actually, you want to ask, what did Du Ruo say to His Majesty before he fainted?"
Seeing that the queen had insight into her original intentions, He Changan did not hide it: "Yes, the queen mother, the daughter-in-law has this intention." The daughter-in-law heard that it was Du Ruo's words that made her father think of punishing the daughter of the Jin family. But this trip to Qianyou, the prince and General Jin Zhong are together, if the Jin family's daughters are moved, they will be beaten into tricks, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the prince. No matter how dull the daughter-in-law is, she doesn't want anyone to hurt the prince. β
"It's his blessing that the second child can marry you...... the queen sighed, and tears slipped out of the corners of her eyes: "You just asked the palace, if Du Ruo gave birth to a daughter for the boss, what does the palace want to reward her." According to the meaning of this palace, the best reward is a name, and the concubine of King Yu is the best, but it is ...... His Majesty has his own plans. β
The queen didn't say it, He Changan really didn't know, just before the emperor made the will to torture the Jin family's daughters, he specially came to Fengqi Palace and told the queen that he wanted to canonize Du Ruo as Princess Yu.
The queen was naturally obstructed: "I think that Du Ruo was originally born as a palace maid, and she is not a person who serves in front of the palace, even if she gives birth to a son for the eldest and has a side concubine, it is enough for her to have a face, not to mention that it is unknown whether she can be born in her belly now, how can she be allowed to occupy the position of princess with the background of a palace maid?"
But he didn't expect the emperor to say anything: "It's just a succession to the princess, and she still has to perform the concubine room ceremony before Princess Yu's spiritual throne." I have made up my mind, if Du's birth can't be born, and it will damage her own life, then chase Princess Yu. β
He Chang'an also understood that the emperor came to Fengqi Palace specifically to discuss with the queen, but to inform her directly.
"I asked people to investigate, and the evidence in Du's hand seems to be that Jin Na, the daughter of General Jin Zhong, once had a relationship with the son of Nan'an's military advisor when she was in Nan'an. It was after the surrender of the Jin family that the two people only temporarily cut off contact, and soon after, they were still disconnected, and this time the matter of communicating with the enemy country was realized through Jin Na. β
He Changan was incredulous: "This ...... How is this possible? When the Jin family had just surrendered to Daxuan, Jin Na was not ...... Don't you still want to marry the prince? How can you still have no love left in Nan'an?"
The queen also shook her head, and the tears on her face became more and more turbulent.
Seeing the queen's tears, He Changan suddenly understood, in fact, she was not the only one who was worried, she was naturally worried about Lu Cheng, but Chen Ao, the prince of Siguo, was Queen Chen's only nephew. Empress Chen has been in the palace for many years, and she has long been indisputable, but when it comes to the lives of her relatives, how can she maintain the appearance of a bodhisattva in the past?
Xiju helped Empress Chen wipe away her tears on the side, and comforted: "Don't worry, the queen mother, with you and Princess Wanyi's prayers all day, the prince will definitely be able to return safely." β
The queen hummed in a low voice and took Chang'an's hand: "What this palace can do now is to mention Your Majesty, and it is okay to use torture, but if people lose their lives, it is really worth the loss." β
He Changan also nodded, if the emperor could listen to the queen's words, then it would not be difficult to send Jiang Ming in to heal the Jin family's mother and daughter.
On the seventh day after Du Ruo gave birth, the news that Du Ruo woke up came from Jinse Palace, and there was also news in the prison that the emperor asked the imperial doctor to treat the Jin family's daughters. The other imperial doctors ridiculed Jiang Ming for not knowing his mind, and he provoked the matter of the heavenly prison when he was deeply favored, but he was afraid that this favor was going to be broken.
But He Changan felt that this was really a good thing, to be able to suffer with her in the prison, even if Jin Na had no intention of Jiang Ming, it would be difficult not to be moved.
Queen Yizhi, Du Shi for the emperor's eldest son Yu Wang gave birth to a son and a daughter, during the period of several dangers, now wake up, it is really a creation, so canonization Du Shi as the princess of Yu, in the seventh day of the seventh month of the canonization ceremony.
As soon as this will came out, the harem was quite shaken, and most people in the harem were envious, Du Ruo, who used to be a palace maid, could have such a time to fly on the branches, not only became a princess, but even became a princess.
However, many people in the former dynasty were Song Shangshu's protΓ©gΓ©s, and they were upset with Song Shangshu, only saying that Concubine Song also gave birth to a son for King Yu, but now she was overtaken by a palace maid, which was too aggrieved.
However, Song Shangshu is smart, he never has any words of resentment, and he only has words to comfort others when they are unhappy for him, which makes the emperor feel more and more relieved.
In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the seventh month of July, which was the day when Du Ruo canonized Princess Yu. Lu Yuan specially asked for grace for Du Ruo, and let everyone in the palace come to watch the ceremony, which made Du Ruo feel satisfied.
While serving He Chang'an to freshen up, Yinzhen said with a worried face: "Princess, that Du's Fengyu Princess, can we not go?" You will tell the queen that your stomach is uncomfortable, and the queen mother will definitely not force you when she thinks of the little master in your womb. Now He Chang'an is five months pregnant for the second time, perhaps because he had fallen into the water and suffered from the cold before, and his belly is much smaller than when he was pregnant with Rongtai for five months.
Thinking of Rongtai, He Chang'an's heart was not without guilt, she was still so young, she threw her in Gongchangbo's mansion, and when she saw her again, she didn't know if she would recognize her mother.
But she had to do this, for the sake of Lu Cheng, and the unborn child in her womb. This time, if she can add a younger brother to Rongtai, she can also make Lu Cheng no longer suffer from the criticism of having no children and no blessings.
She held the hand of the silver needle tightly: "From the bottom of my heart, I really don't want to go to Du Ruo's canonization ceremony." But even if it's a Longtan tiger's den, I have to break in. Just because Du Ruo is now at the most proud time, she gave birth to a daughter, both children and daughters, and realized her long-cherished wish for many years and became a princess. Only at this time is she the most prone to negligence, and I can have a chance to grab her handle and fight back. β
