Chapter 401: Halloween
For the next few days, the old lady didn't move at all.
In the blink of an eye, the Long Live Festival passed, and that day was naturally busy. First, they entered the palace to congratulate, and then the officials also burned incense and prayed at home. I saw Concubine Rong in the palace that day, but she was a little richer than before, and her face was about to be well recuperated, and she was also ruddy and fair, not as haggard as when she was pregnant. Although it is said that it is a downgrade, it is the old man in the palace, and there are really no other high positions in the palace, so Concubine Rong is still sitting at the head of Duan Guifei.
Seeing Gu Wanyin, Concubine Rong got up with a smile and stretched out her hand to help her, looking very intimate: "Wanyin, you are pregnant, but be careful." By the way, how have you been doing lately? I couldn't see that I was still a little angry and resentful towards Gu Wanyin a little bit ago. I don't know, if I look at this scene in my eyes, I'm afraid that they will have a very good relationship.
Gu Wanyin's gaze smoothed over Concubine Rong's face, and then lowered her head and showed a little smile: "Concubine Rong." "It's not alienating, but it doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic in the end. It's as if Concubine Rong has a hot face and a cold ass.
Concubine Rong was not annoyed, she just looked at Gu Wanyin with a smile, and then changed the topic and said, "It's extremely hard when you're pregnant, how do you regulate your body?" In the past, the imperial doctor taught me a few methods, and I will write it down for you when I go back and send it to your house. After a pause, he didn't give Gu Wanyin a chance to refuse, but said again: "By the way, how is your grandmother during this time?" I heard that Cong Rui made meritorious service and was promoted again, is it true? β
Gu Wanyin couldn't refuse in front of so many people, so she had to reply to Concubine Rong's words softly.
I don't know if Concubine Rong was too attentive, but it attracted a lot of attention. Among them, there is naturally Duan Guifei's. I saw Duan Guifei beckoning to Gu Wanyin with a smile and said, "Why are you standing there?" You come and sit down first, it will take a while for the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord to come. You are pregnant, and you can't stand for a long time. β
Gu Wanyin thanked her, and then got rid of Concubine Rong's entanglement. Slightly relieved, he sat in the position designated by Duan Guifei.
Because the old lady is the sister of the Queen Mother, she is not like them, and has already gone into the inner room to meet and ask for peace.
Duan Guifei saw that Concubine Rong was also sitting next to Gu Wanyin, looking like she was still about to answer, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she took the lead in asking with a smile: "Is it hard to be pregnant?" β
Gu Wanyin shook her head with a smile and replied. It's a little more eager than when he was with Concubine Rong. Duan Guifei commanded the harem, and she was extremely saintly, so Gu Wanyin would never deliberately offend Duan Guifei. Moreover, Duan Guifei never seemed to have wooed her. didn't say anything excessive, but it made her not so uncomfortable.
Duan Guifei picked up some irrelevant words and said, and the right to pass the time; Gu Wanyin also agreed, but Rong Concubine had no chance to interject.
Concubine Rong watched coldly from the side. There was a strange light in his eyes, as if there was sarcasm, as if there was sadness, as if there was resentment...... All kinds of emotions are entangled together, and I can't tell anything anymore. But even so, the smile on Concubine Rong's face has never faded a little.
While speaking, the Queen Mother was helped out by the female official, and the old lady followed behind the Queen Mother. Both of them had smiles on their faces. The Queen Mother is wearing a crimson dress today, with a nine-tailed golden phoenix hairpin of turquoise pearls and gold silk on her forehead, a string of eastern pearl tassels in the phoenix's mouth, and a sapphire falling at the bottom. In addition to the golden phoenix hairpin, there are two golden jade flat hairpins, and a pair of hairpins on the back of the head. On the neck, there is a string of eastern beads and jade ruby made of morning pearls, and the body is the queen mother. The skirt was embroidered with layers of peacock feathers. With only a slight movement, it flashes with solemn and strange colors, which are very delicate and complex.
Gu Wanyin and the others hurriedly got up and stood still, and waited until the Queen Mother sat down, and then bowed down: "The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." β
The Queen Mother seemed to be in a very good mood today, and she asked everyone to sit down with a bright smile, and everyone rewarded fruits and snacks.
After another moment, the Holy One also came. Behind him are the princes. The kings of Qin and Jin were also there. It's just that Gu Wanyin looked at the two of them carefully, and their complexions were a little pale, obviously because their injuries were not yet complete.
The saint knelt down in front of the queen mother, and even the prince behind him knelt down. Gu Wanyin and the others naturally didn't dare to sit anymore, and they also knelt down. I only heard the words of the saint: "The queen mother is safe! β
Like this, everyone naturally shouted: "Queen Mother Wan'an." β
The Queen Mother smiled almost from ear to ear. Looking at the black oppressive group of people kneeling below, his eyes were full of kindness, and he was busy: "Get up, get up, today is the Holy Halloween, not the mourning family." Congratulations to the Holy One. β
So the crowd shouted together, "Long live the saints, long live, long live." β
But the saint knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "If there is no queen mother, how can I come from? My Longevity Day is the time of the Queen's suffering. At this time, it is naturally the heaviest queen mother. β
Gu Wanyin was stunned, but she didn't expect the Holy Lord to say such a thing. You know, although this sounds good, it seems a bit hypocritical. If it's an ordinary person, it's just that, but the Holy Oneβ"
"Okay, good, I understand the filial piety of the saint, get up quickly." The Queen Mother said with a smile, looking at the Holy Lord's gaze softly, at this moment, it was no different from an ordinary mother.
The saint got up, and then the crowd offered a birthday gift. The first is naturally the princes, and after the princes, the concubines and the wives of each family. And these gifts are valuable and thoughtful, and they can be said to have their own merits. The saint will not show partiality, no matter what it is, he will praise it with a smile.
Gu Wanyin remembered that when Concubine Rong stepped forward to offer a gift, it was a sachet. The embroidered patterns on it are very delicate, but they are not so ingenious, at least not as good as the one of the county lord Yonghe. But come to think of it, it should be embroidered by Rong Concubine herself. Concubine Rong knelt in front of the saint, held her hands and handed her purse, and said with a smile in her mouth: "The concubine congratulates the saint for thousands of years, and my foundation is solid!" The quality of the concubine Pu Liu can't give birth to an heir for the saint, and she is ashamed. Please also ask the saint, don't annoy the concubines. As he spoke, he raised his head, and his autumn-like eyes glanced at the saint cautiously.
The saint was silent for a long time before accepting the sachet, and then said: "It's no wonder that you are in this matter, the heir is the destiny of heaven, and it is not forced to have it; Although these words sounded like they were comforting Concubine Rong, Gu Wanyin felt that it was clearly a warning and reminder. Not only Rong Concubine, but also ...... Princess Qin. Because when he said this, the saint's gaze swept over Princess Qin, although he did not stop, but the light in his eyes was a little depressed.
What is the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson? What does it represent? Nature speaks for itself. But because of Princess Qin's insistence, she let the emperor's eldest grandson ...... In the heart of the saint, he must have been very annoyed. It's just that the emperor's eldest grandson has become like that, and he can't die anywhere, so he can only let it go. But in the end, it is still like a fish in the throat, which is very uncomfortable.
Princess Qin seemed to be aware of it, clenched her fists tightly, and didn't dare to look at her.
Not only Princess Qin, but also King Qin, also lowered his head, and there was a trace of shame in his eyes.
Before the birth of the child, how many people were looking forward to the arrival of the child? But now that King Qin thinks about the anticipation and joy at that time, he only thinks it's a joke! Now, as long as others mention the emperor's eldest grandson, King Qin feels ashamed and ashamed! Shameless! Because of the emperor's eldest grandson, even King Qin had a disgust for Princess Qin.
Concubine Rong smiled reluctantly and responded softly: "What the saint said is true." β
However, the saint's attitude softened a little in the end: "If it's cold today, your health is not good, and you should recuperate more." These words mean something to make Concubine Rong return to favor.
Concubine Rong was naturally overjoyed. The smile is a little more genuine.
Gu Wanyin quietly glanced at Duan Guifei. But seeing that Duan Guifei was still that dignified and elegant, she didn't seem to care at all. But I really didn't mind? Probably only Duan Guifei herself knew.
After receiving the congratulatory gift, the Queen Mother asked people to bring a bowl of gold noodles, but it was just a good omen. Sheng Shang ate it and said with a smile: "This noodle still tastes like that." β
"It's made by Aunt Yun herself, why isn't it that taste?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, but then there was a little more melancholy on her face: "Every year, she makes birthday noodles for you by herself." It's just that I can't do it for a few years, and she's not in good health now, and it's ...... Ay. β
Yun Gu was probably an old man who had served the saint before, and when the saint heard this, his face was also stunned.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Time flies, the mourning family still remembers the first time you ate Shou Noodles." In a blink of an eye, you are no longer a little bit by the side of the mourning family, and in a blink of an eye, you have become an emperor, and now it seems that you are not too young, but you have become a grandfather. β
Shengshang smiled and nodded, "Isn't it?" β
"I heard that last night you reviewed the recital and it was late at night? Why don't you take care of yourself like this? Do you still think you're young? If you want me to say, there are some things that you don't have to ask about yourself, just let your son help you. They're also older, they're adults, and it's time for them to help you share some of the burden. The Queen Mother said softly, with a sense of love and kindness. It seems that he only cares about the holy body.
The saint's face changed slightly, but he still smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, the Queen Mother asked, "I heard that some time ago, weren't you discussing the establishment of the crown prince?" How's it going, but there's a result? If you want to mourn the family, it is time to make a prince. No matter what, the government can always help you. β
Don't say it's a saint, even when Gu Wanyin heard this, her heart jumped fiercely, and she tensed her body. The meaning of the Queen Mother's words is clearly to force the Holy Lord to appoint the prince.
