Chapter 194: Gong Xing (II)
Chapter 194 Under the Palace
He Changan took his daughter to sit in the queen's palace for a while, because when she was confined, Concubine Qing of Jinse Palace also had something to reward her, so this time when she entered the palace, although He Changan did not want to see Concubine Qing, she still had to go to Jinse Palace to sit for a while.
This is the first time she has set foot in Jinse Palace after she became He Changan in these years, in the past, she was a person from Lu Yuan, and this Jinse Palace can be said to be no less, but this time I also found that Jinse Palace has also changed a lot.
A few years ago, most of the decorations of Jinse Palace were still dominated by gold and silverware, and there was a resplendent appearance everywhere, which made people feel dizzying when they entered the palace. Now it seems that these gold and silver wares have been reduced by more than half, and they have been replaced by some enamel ware and celadon ware, although in terms of value, it may make people feel that they are not so valuable, but when you think about it, they complement each other well, as if there is a master behind them, which makes people feel that Concubine Qing is no longer such a nouveau riche temperament.
Seeing He Chang'an coming to celebrate the concubine's interest, he pulled her to sit there, and instructed the maids around him to quickly pick up the fruits that had just come to pay tribute and put them on a plate, and said in a general manner: "Oh, good boy, this is the first time you have come to the palace to sit here, and you don't have to be restrained, this is a family, so what can you be nervous about? Come once, eat some of this fruit, although it is said that you also have it in your house, but it is also sent to your house after the first reward in this palace, how can I be here a few times? Try it." ”
He Changan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the gold and silver utensils in the room were replaced with another style, thinking that Concubine Qing had received the guidance of a master and began to restrain her heart, and she was still worried about whether Concubine Qing Niangniang, who had restrained her heart like this, would understand the matter and no longer cause trouble to Lu Yuan, you know, if Lu Yuan did not make trouble, this would be a big bad thing for Lu Cheng
But at this time, Concubine Qing opened her mouth and knew that what Lu Cheng said was not wrong at all, she was also worried that Concubine Qing had changed her mind, and now it seems that not only did she not change her mind, but she was even more arrogant, the more she was like this, the less worried she was, because such a Concubine Qing could not bring him anything else except to find trouble for Lu Yuan.
However, although she has a little bit of the mentality of watching the drama in her heart, she can't show it too obviously, otherwise it will make people think that it is not normal for her and Concubine Qing to be too secret, and said lightly: "When Niangniang rewarded Rongtai with those things before, I was still sick in confinement and couldn't personally take Rongtai into the palace to thank Niangniang, and now, Yongtai has just completed the moon, and I am also out of confinement It is time to personally thank Niangniang and let Niangniang break the bank, how can she get so many things when she is such a big child?"
Hearing He Changan mention the things she gave out, Concubine Qing still felt a little faintly distressed in her heart, but she gave things away so generously, and heard Lu Cheng's daughter-in-law respect him so much, in addition to those distressed in her heart, she was still a little proud.
"Hey, it's just a little gadget, what's the reluctance to keep it for the children to play? I can get the emperor's reward here every day, and there are really a lot of things, and you can keep it with peace of mind, it's really nothing, it's really nothing. Concubine Qing was generous but uncomfortable in her heart, always thinking, this daughter-in-law of Lucheng is really a fool, although she said that she gave birth to a Rongtai county lord over there, but doesn't she also have a grandson who was taken into the palace to be raised? She doesn't know what to give as a return gift, if this gift can be more generous than the one she gave out, then it would be good
But how did she know that Lu Cheng He Chang'an and his wife had already guessed it, what he thought in his heart, anyway, they were just a young couple who had just gotten married, and the prince's fortune was just that, and now there were no new daughters in the family, and it was when they needed money, so they pretended to be very poor and refused to return the gift so generously? Since it was you who swaggered to give it cheap, then we are fools if we don't take advantage of it
And Lu Cheng has already thought about the future, if Concubine Qing dares to go to the emperor to cry, they can also go by the way to deliberately cry poor, anyway, the emperor will not just feel sorry for his wife and not his son
Concubine Qing wanted to see the child, He Changan asked Mama Xiao Wei to hold the child to Concubine Qing, but she didn't let Concubine Qing touch her hands herself, who knows what she would do if she was really excited
But I saw that Concubine Qing just praised a few words for the child's appearance and beautiful birth, but there was no superfluous action. After a while, he said: "Now our Duo brother is also in the palace, but today is really a pity, originally I wanted to let this Duo brother and his sister get along well?
He Changan secretly said that he was too careful, and he was worried that Concubine Qing was going to harm her child, but she was just that kind of woman's opinion, just wanting to pull her grandson and her child to compare and show off.
So she just said a few words of compliment, anyway, she didn't mind holding Concubine Qing to the sky
Maybe Concubine Qing also felt that such a false compliment was meaningless, so after sitting in Chang'an for a while, a girl said that Concubine Qing was going to take a lunch break. He Changan had been looking forward to such an eviction order for a long time, because if she sat down, she felt that she was going to be disgusted by her hypocrisy.
said goodbye, Concubine Qing came out of Jinse Palace. I went to inquire where Lu Cheng was now, and the result was that Lu Cheng was left in the imperial study by the emperor, and I didn't know what to discuss, in short, I couldn't come over to accompany her now.
Looking up at the sky, it was still early, He Changan was thinking about going to the eldest princess to sit there for a while, the eldest princess has always liked this little niece, but now that the marriage date is getting closer and closer, she has to start worrying about the dowry or something, and the opportunity to come out of the house is getting less and less.
But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a low-eyebrow and obedient little maid at the corner of Jinse Palace: "Princess Qin, please stay." ”
This maid He Changan didn't know him, and hesitated: "You are ......"
The current situation in this palace is not much more stable because of the second princess's marriage and marriage, and there must be an undercurrent under the calm on the surface, He Changan still understands, so even if she enters the palace, she will definitely not shake around, at most she will go to the eldest princess's Zhengyi Palace as a guest.
Although the maid lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, she was a delicate heart, and when she saw He Chang'an's expression, she understood, and said with a smile: "The slave maid is the Chunrong next to Ni Concubine Niangniang, and she still accompanies Ni Concubine Niangniang in the Fèng Qi Palace at noon, but there were many people in the Fèng Qi Palace at that time, and it is normal for Princess Qin not to notice the slave and maid." ”
He Changan suddenly realized, and said strangely that she felt that this maid didn't know but was a little familiar, it turned out to be the person next to Ni Concubine, and after thinking about it, since it was the person next to Ni Concubine, Ni Concubine had never been an eventful person, and let a maid stop her here today, there must be something to ask for.
As expected, after reporting to her home, Chun Rong hesitated and opened her mouth: "The slave also knows that Princess Qin didn't know the slave and maid, and it is really inappropriate for the slave and maid to call the princess here today, but it is really Concubine Ni who wants to ask Princess Qin for something, so she ......"
Princess Qin is a person who has no desires and no desires, if she really has something to ask for, I am afraid that it is also for the land of the four princes, although the four princes are very close to Lu Cheng in the plain, but between the royal brothers, who can determine how much the true feelings are? Therefore, Lu Cheng's attitude towards this young brother has always been to be the main one, and now if Ni Concubine asks for her for the affairs of the four princes, then this trip must be gone.
No wonder when Fang was in the fèng Qi Palace, Ni Concubine gave Sister Si so many good things, and there was an unspeakable look in her eyebrows, He Changan is also a person who believes in "no merit is not punished", if Ni Concubine just sent things to Sister Si, she would not feel at ease. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to go to Concubine Ni's Jade Smoke Palace with Chunrong.
I think the last time I came here was because of the Ji nobles who came from Nan'an, but now time flies really fast.
Ni Concubine saw He Chang'an's figure appear, the expression on her face was simply not overjoyed and could be described, she asked He Changan to sit down with a smile, and asked Chunrong to lead Xiao Wei Mama to the side hall to rest, for fear that Sister Si'er would be tired, but this politeness made He Changan feel that she was a little humble, and she didn't even look like an elder.
"Niangniang is like this, it is too tormenting for me, after all, Niangniang is an elder, and I love Sister Si so much, I already feel grateful. He Chang'an Wan'er smiled, and also guessed the meaning of Concubine Ni's invitation, knowing that she was embarrassed to speak, so she weakly mentioned: "Niangniang is in a hurry to see me today, I'm just afraid that I'm worried about the marriage of the fourth brother, right?"
Ni Concubine didn't speak, but sighed slightly, but she sat down to what He Changan thought in his heart.
The third prince is only two years older than the fourth prince, but the marriage was decided when He Chang'an pointed out the marriage to Lucheng, and the third princess is Geng Nuan, the lord of Xuyi County, and now that the marriage has been set for two years, it is normal for Ni Concubine to worry about her son's marriage.
Among the three previous princesses, He Chang'an was already the most disadvantaged one, but she was also the eldest daughter of the Bofu, but now looking at the past, there is really no girl of the right age in the entire Daxuan who can match the land, let alone the girls of the Guogong Mansion and the Marquis's family
I don't know who Ni Concubine wants to ask?
