Chapter 141: After the Concubine's Seal
readx;? Zhang Hua left Yuehua Palace and reported the concubine's reaction to Ji Shuxuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Ji Shuxuan was also embarrassed, in the final analysis, he was a dignified ninety-five supreme, and he actually thought about betraying a promise to a little woman. He sighed and said to Zhang Hua, "Call Qin Tianjian here." ”
"Yes. Zhang Hua said.
After a short time, Qin Tianjian followed Zhang Hua into the Jiade Palace.
"Your Majesty. Qin Tianjian knelt on the ground and saluted.
Ji Shuxuan raised his hand slightly to signal him to get up, and at the same time handed Zhang Hua a look. Zhang Hua withdrew from the main hall and covered the door of the hall.
After Qin Tianjian got up, he stood with his head bowed and did not say a word. Qingshui Yamen like this is rarely summoned by the emperor alone, so even if he knows what the emperor means, before the emperor speaks, he is trembling and does not dare to say more.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a tyrant. Ji Shuxuan saw his nervousness and said, "Let's guess the purpose of my summoning you here today." ”
Qin Tianjian bowed down again, although he was nervous, his voice was steady and loud: "The only thing that the ministers in the court are discussing today is to establish the queen. If it is too late today, the emperor summons him, presumably for this matter. ”
"Yes, I have decided to welcome the noble concubine into the middle palace, so you can go back and divinate a hexagram for this matter, and choose an auspicious date!" Ji Shuxuan said. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to make the concubine the queen, and over the years, the concubine has been in charge of the six palaces, which is indeed hard. He couldn't think of anyone else who was better suited for the position than her.
Qin Tianjian knelt down and received the order: "Weichen obeys the order." It's just that it is a major matter of the country after the establishment, Rong Weichen fasts for three days, bathes and changes clothes, and will definitely give the emperor an answer after three days!"
Ji Shuxuan's order, the news after this is naturally spreading. Before it was late at night, the whole palace already knew. The concubine was already a little disappointed, she was depressed, and she didn't even use much for dinner, so she went to bed to rest.
However, she heard the commotion outside, and it seemed that many people had gathered in her palace. The concubine was already in a bad mood, and she was even more annoyed by such a noisy voice, and scolded coldly: "Who is so unruly?
As he spoke, Caiwen happily walked in: "Niangniang, the little masters of the palace are waiting for you in the courtyard!"
"What are they doing at this hour?" asked the concubine unhappily. The emperor's order has not yet been issued, is it possible that these jokes are just waiting to see her? Since Zhang Hua left, the concubine has ordered the palace door to be closed tightly, and no one will be seen. As a result, she had no way of knowing anything after that.
Caiwen walked quickly to the couch, and there was joy in his voice that couldn't be hidden: "Niangniang, everyone is here to congratulate you!"
"What is the joy of this palace?" asked the concubine impatiently. She can be said to have everything going wrong today, it's all at this hour, where is there any joy?
"Niangniang, the news of the Jiade Palace, that the emperor has instructed Qin Tianjian to divinate the auspicious period and welcome you into the middle palace!" But it's no wonder that it is said that the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door, not to mention the confidants after a dignified country! Caiwen knows that from now on, not only Niangniang will become the object of competition among everyone in the palace, but also herself, and others will look up to her.
At first glance, the concubine still didn't believe it, after all, it was all this hour, how could the emperor suddenly give an order again! However, after thinking about it, Caiwen was her confidant, how could she deceive on such a big issue! The concubine was overjoyed, quickly got up from the couch, dressed up briefly, and left the dormitory.
Since the news came, Caiwen had already ordered people to light up the silk lanterns of the entire palace, and for a while, the huge palace was set off by the red silk lanterns, as if it was a new year.
Sure enough, as soon as she appeared in front of everyone, including the four concubines, all the concubines bowed respectfully: "The concubines congratulate the queen on her great joy!"
It was the first time I heard so many people respectfully call her "Queen Mother", and the concubine's heart was already happy. However, her face was still calm and light, and she said quite reservedly: "It's just a casual remark from the emperor, and the holy decree has not yet been promulgated." Where can the sisters in this palace be called the queen mother like this! Everyone can still call this palace as the noble concubine Niangniang. ”
Concubine Yang, one of the four concubines, chuckled, stepped forward and said, "Sister Guifei is too cautious, the younger sisters are just here to congratulate Sister Yihe in advance!
"Sister Yang has a heart, since this is the case, the palace will no longer shirk. The sisters came at night, you might as well go into the hall to drink a cup of tea and some pastries before leaving!"
Concubine Wu bowed respectfully: "Sister, the dim sum here has always been a must-have in the palace, and even the imperial dining room is incomparable." Since my sister invited, my sisters are naturally respectful rather than obeying. Speaking of which, my sister will move into Fengluan Hall in the near future, and we are afraid that we will not be able to come in the future. ”
In this way, everyone said flattering words, either true or false, which not only enlivened the atmosphere, but also made the concubine happy. Such a lively passage did not disperse until late at night. After everyone left, Caiwen helped the concubine to sit down, and immediately the maids stepped forward to take all the hairpin rings for her, and Caiwen knocked her shoulder with moderate force.
The concubine closed her eyes slightly, she had already fallen asleep at this time in the past, but today she still has to talk to everyone, which is really hard.
Seeing this, Caiwen said distressedly: "Niangniang is really hard! After a while, the slave and maid will serve you to go to bed and rest!"
The concubine slowly opened her eyes, shook her head, and said, "What kind of hard work is not hard, I am afraid that this kind of hard work will only start in the future." As a queen, taking care of the affairs of the six palaces is not the same as now. Beyond the words, she already sees herself as a queen.
Caiwen smiled and said: "It is said that those who can work harder, Niangniang can share the emperor's worries, and have a little prince, the grace in the emperor's heart is naturally unique!
Speaking of the little prince, the concubine looked back and said: "The emperor has long been taken down to sleep by the nurse, and it just so happens that the palace is not sleepy at this time, so you will accompany the palace to see the emperor!"
"Niangniang, the little prince is asleep, if you want to see it, it's better to see tomorrow. It's a dark night, so you should have a good rest!"
However, the concubine insisted on this, and Caiwen no longer talked much, helped her to get up, and went to the side hall.
When the nurse saw the concubine coming, she hurriedly got up and saluted. The concubine waved for them all to stand back, and she was left alone. Looking at the sleeping baby in the small cradle bed, the concubine's face was filled with the tenderness of a loving mother. She leaned down and kissed her son gently. This child is only half a year old, although he can't be called a person yet, but he is born with Yuxue cute, which hurts people a lot!
The concubine's hand carefully held her son's little hand, and whispered softly: "Rui'er, do you know that after the concubine is about to become a country! At that time, you will be the undisputed candidate for the crown prince in the palace! The son is precious by the mother, and the mother is also precious by the son! The future honor of the concubine is tied to yours! You must grow up quickly!"
Rui'er in the cradle is used to a quiet environment, and the little guy is a little uncomfortable, so he breaks free of the concubine's hand, grinning, and crying.
Seeing this, the concubine was helpless to pick up Rui'er from the cradle, however, since she gave birth, she rarely held the child, especially those who cried so much. She hurriedly coaxed Rui'er who was crying, but she couldn't calm Rui'er in her mother's arms, but the heavy aroma of fat powder on her mother's body made him uncomfortable and even more distressed.
After such a toss, the concubine's originally flat clothes were wrinkled, and her well-dressed bun was inadvertently scratched by the little guy. Rao is like this, Rui'er still didn't lower her voice, and cried sadly at the top of her throat.
The nurse outside the house was also distressed when she heard Rui'er's cry, however, the mother had an order first, and no one was allowed to enter without her permission. So, the nurse was at a loss for help outside, and looked at the colorful pattern for help: "Girl, you help talk to the mother, the little prince is crying so sadly, maybe he is hungry, let the slave go in and have a look!"
"Nurse, my mother gave an order in advance, and I can't do it. After all, Niangniang is the biological mother of the little prince, can she still treat the little prince badly?" Caiwen soothed, not understanding the reason why the nurse was anxious.
Hearing this, the nurse couldn't, so she had to hold her anxious heart and wait outside.
Finally, after coaxing for a long time to no avail, the concubine gave up. She hugged Rui'er, walked quickly to the door, slammed the door, and shouted: "Rui'er has been crying for so long, can't you hear it?
When the nurse heard this, she endured the grievances in her belly, took the child, and said: "The mother is a nobleman, and the little prince will give it to the slave to coax." ”
The concubine let go and watched the nurse take over her son, thinking that she would be punished when she didn't coax her. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Ruier was held in the arms of the nurse, but after a while, she stopped crying, opened her red and swollen eyes from crying, and smiled when she looked at the nurse. The nurse was happy in her heart, but because the concubine was by her side, she didn't dare to show the slightest bit of pride.
Seeing this, the concubine frowned, her face was hot, and she only felt sarcastic. His own son-in-law cried in his arms, but when he came to the nurse's arms, he didn't cry or make trouble obediently, and smiled so sweetly!
Caiwen cautiously glanced at the concubine's expression, and the nurse was innocently blamed, and hurriedly spoke: "Niangniang, it's not early, and the little prince will also fall asleep." Why don't you go back and rest with the slave and maid!"
The nurse also bent her knees and said: "Niangniang go slowly, hand over the little prince to the slave maid, you can rest assured." ”
Even if the concubine is unwilling, there is no way. After all, it's his own son, and he always doesn't want to let him be angry and make him sad. She grimaced and turned away.
