Chapter 005: The Third Princess
The Queen Mother turned her gaze to her.
Han Rui met the angry gaze mixed with puzzlement and nodded.
"After all, this matter is not done by Erchen right, but it is just a private kowtow, and Erchen feels harmless. ”
"Ridiculous. ”
The Queen Mother slapped the small table, and the deafening sound frightened everyone in the palace to kneel.
"The queen mother is angry, son-in-law, son-in-law just feels guilty in her heart, she lost her life, and son-in-law knelt down and kowtowed. ”
"The mourning family thought that you had grown up, but I didn't think that you were becoming more and more confused, your dignified princess kowtowed to a lowly woman, where is your royal dignity?"
Han Rui muttered and didn't know how to answer, and she was also asking herself if it was right to do this, she thought it was right at first, but now she really didn't know, especially when Ling Xin asked again.
It seems that he can't get it in the land of Bashu, so what will he do?
Her mind was in a mess.
"You've kowtowed, is he going to stop there?"
The Queen Mother's cold words struck again, and Han Rui subconsciously felt a chill down her spine.
The Queen Mother looked at her eyes and understood everything.
"What a Yasukuni candidate, stepping on the royal face on the soles of your feet, a good Yasukuni candidate. ”
One sentence seemed to exhaust the spirit of the Queen Mother, she staggered to her feet, Han Rui wanted to help, but she avoided it quietly.
"Go back. ”
"Yes. ”
She went out of the palace obediently, and she didn't even put forward Ling Xin's request, and the sadness and grief when the Queen Mother learned that she knelt down to kowtow to Liu Rumei made her dare not say it casually.
When she returned to the princess's mansion, she ate something hastily and fell asleep immediately, but she was full of fever in the middle of the night.
When she woke up the next day, it was already dusk, and Rouge wept with joy when she opened her eyes.
"Princess, you have finally woken up, the imperial doctor has come several times, your body is already weak, yesterday after a day of hard work, this is the fever. ”
Han Rui smiled weakly, and sat up by serving her with rouge, "How is the Hou Ye over there?"
Rouge avoided her gaze and brought her a bowl of white porridge, "Princess, you can eat something." ”
Han Rui didn't accept the bowl of porridge, although the aroma was so striking that she was about to drool.
"The princess will eat porridge first. ”
Rouge pleaded.
"The queen mother summoned the marquis into the palace, right?"
"Princess, your body is important, the first emperor can rest assured that he will hand over this country to the Queen Mother and the Manchu Dynasty, why does the princess have to work so hard?"
Rouge put down the porridge and shouted bitterly.
Han Rui looked at her like this, and the words of reproach reached her throat and swallowed back.
"But the abolished prince has arrived in Xuancheng, and the situation is critical, so he can't wait. ”
"Master Hou has already set out for the expedition. ”
Rouge quickly finished speaking, as if relieved.
"What did you say?"
Han Rui suspected that she had misheard.
Rouge picked up the bowl of porridge again, and carefully fed her with a spoon, "After the princess left the palace yesterday, the Hou Ye was called into the palace, and the Liu family went out for the funeral in the morning, and then the Hou Ye immediately set out for the expedition." ”
"How so?
She let Rouge stuff a spoonful of porridge into her mouth, muttering secretly, but the next second she suddenly jumped up from the bed, looking anxious, "Go and arrange the carriage, the palace is going to enter the palace." Rouge didn't persuade him, and went down to arrange it silently.
"It's fake that he wants to reconcile, the land of Bashu is his real purpose, Ling Xin, you are so despicable. ”
She walked around the room barefoot, her pale face alternating with anger and chagrin.
A maidservant girl came in to serve her to change her clothes, and she impatiently pointed to one at random.
"Hurry up, Hongu is in a hurry. ”
The maidservant who made up had to put her in a simple bun, and then put on two golden hairpins with Dongzhu on them.
When Rouge came in again, she motioned for the maid to fetch a cloak and put it on her.
"Princess, it's already arranged. ”
Han Rui took the lead, and Rouge hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor were dining again.
When the young emperor saw her come in, he happily beckoned her to dine with her.
The aroma of a table of delicacies suddenly made the hunger in her stomach go straight to the cerebral cortex, and she felt weak all over, so she quickly sat down on the table.
The palace people hurriedly added dishes and chopsticks.
After eating a meal, she felt much better.
The young emperor still had homework every evening, and after eating and saying a few words, he left.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, raised her head and looked at her daughter's appearance, "You don't look good, just stay in the palace for a few days, and let the imperial doctor take care of your body." ”
She never mentioned Yasukuni.
"The queen mother promised him?"
Han Rui didn't answer the rhetorical question.
The Queen Mother looked at her face and looked very distressed, "Yesterday, when you entered the palace mourning house, you guessed that he had other requirements, the land of Bashu is dangerous, but if this country is someone else's, what does it have to do with us?"
She looked sad and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"The waste prince has been raised by the side of the mourning family since he was a child, and his heart and the first emperor know him very well, and he thought that it would be difficult for him to be a big responsibility, and it was good to be an idle prince, but he really came to this point. ”
A person suddenly popped up in Han Rui's mind, and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, Cousin Can is familiar with military books, so he may not be able to take on great responsibilities, and the Queen Mother should let him go through the training." ”
Ling Xin has gradually shown his fangs, and he has to guard against it, so he has to slowly cultivate good generals who can lead troops.
The Queen Mother showed a pleased smile, "That's right, this time Ling Xin went on the expedition, and the deputy marshal was Jiang Can." ”
"What other tasks did the queen mother give to Cousin Can?"
She always felt that the Queen Mother still had a back hand, otherwise it would not be so easy to agree, so she asked tentatively, only to find that her face was suffocated by breathing, and her eyes were staring at the Queen Mother tightly.
The Queen Mother's face sank slightly, "Chu Rui, your father is gone, the mourning family wants to guard this country for him, you go down and rest." ”
Returning to the Churui Palace before leaving the pavilion again, the flowers and trees in the palace are all revealing green buds, and the flowers of the imperial garden are competing for spring.
The old people who were waiting in the palace were still there, and they were all elated to see her come back.
Rouge helped her into the room, and just as she sat down, a guest came.
"Second sister, if you don't look for me when you go back to the palace, I want to kill you. ”
A woman dressed in red rushed in, she was dressed very gorgeously, especially the butterfly golden hairpin on her head that was about to fly.
"The third sister is here, sit down. ”
The third princess was born by Concubine Shu, who was more than a year younger than Princess Churui, and has not yet left the cabinet.
"Yesterday, I heard that the second sister was poisoned, and I wanted to go to the princess's mansion to visit the second sister, but the state affairs are busy, so I can't bother the queen mother. ”
As she spoke, she quickly took a wooden box from the palace maid behind her, opened the box, and there was a good ginseng lying on the white flannel cloth inside.
"I'm not as favored as you, I don't have anything good to give you, this ginseng also asks the second sister not to dislike it. ”
The corners of Rouge's eyes twitched when she heard this.
