Chapter 32 Plans in the Palace of Mercy

After the dinner, Princess Zhaoxing sent her own carriage to send Chang'an and Shi Qi back, while she stayed in Fengqi Palace to talk to the queen, and He Ping'an also followed the queen to serve.

The rather clever little girl beside the queen handed the queen a cup of tea: "Niangniang, please use tea." This is the best West Lake Longjing, although the chrysanthemum pot is good, it is easy to get hot if you eat too much, and it is best to drink a little Longjing tea at this time. ”

The queen also smiled and said: "Since it is good, then go and pour a cup for the eldest princess and sister Heping of Zhaoxing, don't look back, the second sister will go to the queen mother to visit the palace again, and say that the palace has good tea to swallow alone." ”

Lu Muchu, the eldest princess of Zhaoxing, didn't dare to say anything, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Sure enough, it's good tea, I just ate a hot body, and this time it's a lot more refreshing." ”

The queen nodded: "In fact, many things are like this chrysanthemum pot and Longjing tea, you need to have something that adds heat, but you also have to prepare something cool and reduce fire, this is the way to balance." ”

Princess Zhaoxing knew in her heart that what the queen was talking about was He Ping'an's piano skills, no matter how good He Ping'an was, the Bai family of Liang Guogong was also a meritorious minister of Daxuan, if it wasn't for the queen to leave a back move, clear the heat and reduce the fire, I am afraid that this matter will be out of control.

With a smile in his heart, he said with a smile: "What the imperial sister-in-law said is very true, Ping'an, this child, is spoiled by me, and sometimes he is willing to compare with others, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and I will definitely teach Ping'an a lesson when I go back to the house." ”

The queen nodded: "It's good that you know, the time is almost up, the queen mother is probably going to pass on her sister and sister peace to talk, so I won't leave my sister in Fengqi Palace." ”

This is the cleverness of Empress Chen, the Queen Mother is not the emperor's biological mother, but after all, Emperor Pingyi's concubine went early, she is not a biological mother, and she is no different from her biological mother. The eldest princess of Zhaoxing is born to the queen mother, and the queen mother must have some private words, which she just wants to say to the eldest princess of Zhaoxing and He Ping'an, but if the queen mother comes forward and does not call several other eldest princesses, there will definitely be some gossip in the court. However, the queen and the eldest princess Zhaohe have some unhappiness in it, the eldest prince of Zhaoning wants to go back to take care of his daughter, and it doesn't matter if Princess Zhaohe is a widow and doesn't stay around, the eldest princess of Zhaoli took her daughter home to think about it before the banquet started. In this way, only the eldest princess Zhaoxing and He Ping'an were left in Fengqi Palace, but with a cup of tea, they let the people sent by the Queen Mother pick them up, and this side is to take the notoriety on themselves and fulfill the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw the Queen Mother's side waiting for Mama Xi come to Fengqi Palace: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother has not seen Princess Zhaoxing and Miss He for many days, and her heart is full of thoughts, and now seeing the princess and Miss He in the Queen's Palace, I want to invite you to the Cihui Palace to talk, isn't the Queen Mother willing to let the princess and Miss He go to the Queen Mother's Cihui Palace?"

Empress Chen had a reluctant expression: "It is said that the palace has lived in the palace all day, and it is impossible to get out, it is rare that the second sister can come to talk to the palace, and this child is a Zhong Lingyuxiu, and today he also got the biggest color at the chrysanthemum banquet in the palace, and the palace also loves what it is, how can he be willing to let go of it? ”

Saying that, he also asked someone to wrap a top seal for Mama Xi: "Mama Xi came in person, and the distance from Cihui Palace to Fengqi Palace is not too close. ”

Xi Mama raised her eyebrows, weighed the weight of the upper seal, thought about it carefully, and turned back to the Queen Mother, how to reply.

So he let the eldest princess Zhaoxing and He Ping'an get on the sedan chair sent by the Cihui Palace.

The Empress Dowager Li was also the crown princess that the Ming media was marrying when the first emperor was still the crown prince, but before the first emperor married the crown princess, he already had a more favorite woman in his heart, that is, the Pingyi Emperor concubine Mei, who was not noble in the first trial. Mei is the crown princess, and the Tai/grandfather/grandfather cannot be allowed in any case, as a compromise, the first emperor married the queen mother, and the Pingyi Emperor's concubine Mei joined the East Palace as the prince's side concubine.

The Queen Mother was also born in the Guogong Mansion, and her father was Shen Guogong, one of the six major princes at that time, but later, because of a little crime, when the title was passed to the Queen Mother's brother, he was already a marquis. The daughter of the Duke of Guo, in the whole Daxuan, looking at it, should be regarded as confident, not to mention that the biological mother of the Queen Mother was a county lord who loved riding and archery married to the neighboring country Yin Guo at that time, and her temperament was arrogant and domineering, and the daughter she raised was also magnificent.

One is the crown princess, who has been learning to ride and shoot with her mother since she was a child, her physical fitness is good, and her temperament is hard, and the other is the side concubine of the prince's childhood sweetheart, even if she has the heart of her husband, but the matter of competing for favor in the back house is unguardable, she was indecisive, and she is crying and crying at every turn。

Clear-eyed people can also see that the queen mother is a very mean person, and it is already a kind of courage to be able to raise the concubine born to a rival by her side, so that this concubine can only call herself the queen mother after inheriting the unification, and the biological mother has always been the imperial concubine, that is the ability of the queen mother!

The Queen Mother is now only in her fifties, but because of good maintenance, she doesn't look very old, wearing a whole set of jade on her head, and the dark green jade seems to be a graceful and peaceful state.

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing took He Ping'an to the Cihui Palace, and as soon as the queen mother saw the eldest princess of Zhaoxing, a stream of tears flowed out: "My son, look at the mourning family soon, but I want to mourn the family." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing can still hold it, and she stood there and saluted in a proper manner: "The son of the queen mother asks for peace, because he is busy with the draft of Sister Ping, some days, I can't enter the palace to visit the queen mother, but I feel that the queen mother's body is getting better and better, and she looks younger and younger." Queen Mother, can you hide it, you must tell your son the secret of eternal youth. ”

He Ping'an learned from her mother's appearance, and also saluted the Queen Mother: "Granddaughter He Ping'an has seen the Queen Mother's grandmother, and the grandmother must tell her granddaughter the secret of beauty." ”

When it came to the draft, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at He Ping'an, this granddaughter is her only biological grandchild, and the emperor's princes and princesses, no matter how close they are, they are not a bloodline after all.

Thinking about it, He Ping'an is getting more and more beautiful.

"In a blink of an eye, Ping'an is also so big, and the mourning family still remembers that when Ping'an was just born, the first emperor was still there, but because of his poor health, he passed the throne to the emperor. As soon as I heard that Zhaoxing gave birth to a beautiful girl, people were a little chaotic, but they sobered up in an instant, and asked, what is the name of the girl in the He family's generation. Gonggong Cao, who was next to the first emperor, said that he was from An. The first emperor spoke, then let this child be called peace. ”

Speaking of the first emperor, the eldest princess of Zhaoxing also had a little wet eyes: "When the will of my father was transmitted to the mansion of the Marquis of Yichun, the ministers were still very dissatisfied, and felt that the word peace was too tacky." Or did the father understand the son-in-law, and then another will was sent, which said, "Life is in the world, peace and happiness, what is more important than peace and happiness?" The son-in-law also figured it out at once. It's a pity that my father didn't wait until he grew up safely. ”

The Queen Mother didn't want to stay on the topic of the first emperor for too long, so she only said: "The matter of the draft, Zhaoxing, do you have a number in your heart? The mourning family is safe, a granddaughter of a close relative, and the mourning family doesn't want to be wronged." ”

said that he retired from the people who were waiting around him, such a thing, leaving a person to serve by his side is equivalent to leaving a pair of ears.

Seeing that those people had retreated, the eldest princess of Zhaoxing hesitated and spoke: "Queen Mother, what do you think, how is the eldest prince born to Concubine Qing?"

The vague meaning of this question is indeed very easy to understand, that is, to ask, is the eldest prince worthy of such a heavy note from the Yichun Marquis Mansion. Since ancient times, the problem of the prince standing in line is a big thing, to say small, the bet is the happiness and wealth of He Ping'an's life, and to put it big, it is to gamble the entire Yichun Marquis Mansion into it.

"If there was no incident last year, the mourning family would not necessarily support the eldest prince, but now that the second prince has something like that, even if he loses his sacred heart, the position of the prince is vacant, Concubine Qing is a member of the Li family, and the eldest prince is long, how can the mourning family not want to be the prince in the end It is Brother Liang, if Ping An can marry Brother Liang as the eldest princess, even if it is for the sake of the face of the Queen Mother of the Mourning family, as well as the face of your eldest princess Zhaoxing, Brother Liang will not treat Ping An lightly. It's just that this matter still needs to be operated well, Brother Liang is not a concubine after all, so I'm afraid that someone will make waves in this matter. ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing also echoed: "Yes, queen mother, since the Li family was demoted, so many years have passed, and they have been being people with their tails between their legs, now is the time to get up, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and we have to let people know that our Li family is not vegetarian." However, there is one more thing, the son can't make up his mind, and he still needs the queen mother to show it. ”

Then he briefly talked about Shi Qi's situation, as well as Shi Qi's performance at the chrysanthemum banquet today.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother pondered: "What do you think of this Shi girl?"

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing pondered for a moment: "Erchen thinks that it is better to give the Shi family girl only to the children of the Li family, what does the queen mother think?"

The Queen Mother shook her head: "Zhaoxing, you still don't have much to do." Although the girl surnamed Shi is also from the marquis's family, how much help can the family living in Jiangnan bring to Brother Liang? What's more, her temperament is too soft, if her ears are still so soft in the future, and she can't carry it clearly, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

"What does the Queen Mother think?"

"Such a girl is chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it, but it is still quite bright on the surface. Mourning family, don't all your sisters have brothers of the same age?"
