Chapter 978: The Thirtieth Year of the Chinese New Year's Eve
After listening quietly, Qin Zhao replied: "This matter will be carefully considered by the concubine body, now it is the end of the year rest period, and after the New Year, the concubine body should be able to think clearly." ”
She didn't say that she had already thought about it, because she still had to wait and see.
The sudden change in Empress Dowager Guo's attitude still made her feel unreal. She always believes that her nature is difficult to change, and she cannot take it lightly.
Empress Dowager Guo didn't lobby anymore, she looked at the child in Qin Zhao's arms, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the mourning family can watch Ah Yuan grow up, how good would it be?" ”
"Do you want to hug the little atom?" Qin Zhao said tentatively.
In the past, when Empress Dowager Guo hugged the little atom, the little atom cried nonstop, I don't know if there will be any changes now.
Empress Dowager Guo rejected her proposal: "Ah Yuan doesn't like the mourning family, and he cries as soon as the mourning family hugs him, and the mourning family will not be bored with themselves." ”
Qin Zhao said in his heart, Empress Dowager Guo is quite self-aware.
She sat for a while and talked with Empress Dowager Guo for a while, and then left Cihe Palace with the child in her arms.
"The Queen Mother has changed a lot." Even Baozhu couldn't help but sigh.
"Change may be a good thing." The corners of Qin Zhao's lips lifted slightly.
The premise is that the changes in the Empress Dowager Guo are not pretended.
"Does the lady think the queen mother has really changed?" Baozhu asked again.
Qin Zhao also had the same question in his heart, and he couldn't give Baozhu an answer.
"This palace is not a roundworm in the stomach of the Queen Mother, how do you know if the Queen Mother has really changed? Why don't you ask the royal red and the royal blue, they are bystanders. Qin Zhao threw the hydrangea away.
Baohong was stunned for a moment before reacting, "The slave can't see it." ”
Baolan also replied conservatively: "The slave maid has not been in Jinyang Palace for a long time, and she has not had any contact with the Queen Mother, so I don't know what the Queen Mother was like in the past, and there is no way to see if the Queen Mother has changed." ”
"It's not that important to change, the important thing is that the palace can maintain a sense of vigilance." This is how Qin Zhao ended this topic.
On the twenty-ninth day of the year, Xiao Ce did not appear in Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao felt that it would be easy to save trouble, so as not to let those concubines in the harem run to Jinyang Palace again, thinking that she was mixing Xiao Ce's footsteps.
In fact, in those days, it was Xiao Ce himself who said that he didn't want to go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, so he stayed in Jinyang Palace, she didn't say anything, she didn't do anything, can she be blamed?
On the twenty-eighth day of the year, after a bunch of women couldn't find Xiao Ce, they scolded and left, and said a lot of bad things about her before leaving. She's generous enough not to be as careless as those women.
"The emperor didn't come to Jinyang Palace, but Niangniang was happy, so that the emperor saw it, and I have to say that Niangniang is a conscienceless." Orb quipped.
Qin Zhao's eyes couldn't take her eyes off the script, she replied indifferently: "Take advantage of the time before the year to relax quickly, and wait until the new year to take over the big garden of the harem, and the palace will be busy in the future." If the emperor doesn't come to Jinyang Palace, the palace will save trouble, so you don't have to look at the emperor's face. Even if the emperor is in front of the palace, the palace is not afraid to tell this big truth, and the king is like a tiger......"
When Baozhu heard this, he was frightened and shouted: "Niangniang can't talk nonsense. ”
"It's a fact, everybody thinks so, and I'm not allowed to tell the truth?" Qin Zhao didn't care.
Baohong knew before that her master was bold and not afraid of anything, not even the emperor.
But at this moment, hearing her master's bold words, she was still as nervous as Baozhu.
"Niangniang should be quiet, the wall has ears, although the emperor favors Niangniang, but the emperor is still the emperor, the king of Daqi ......"
At this time, Baolan also agreed, which was nothing more than to let Qin Zhao say goodbye.
Qin Zhao felt that these palace maids were timid.
In the end, under the siege of Sanbao, she finally admitted it, but she didn't feel that she was wrong in her heart.
Early the next morning, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Because Empress Dowager Guo is not in good health, no one takes care of the affairs of the harem, so everyone goes their own way, everything is simple, and everything is as usual.
However, regarding the setting of the royal reunion dinner, there should be regulations.
On the side of the food department, Qin Zhao explained a few words, and asked Shang Shan to have a reunion dinner as in previous years, so everything was going on in an orderly manner.
Here, Qin Zhao is also playing the little Jiujiu in his heart. If you really want her to take care of the harem, she also has a lazy way, just do everything according to the period of the Empress Dowager Guo, save yourself trouble, and save others trouble.
Anyway, there are not many people in the harem, and it is not difficult to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces.
Today, Qin Zhao is already a concubine, and those who can enter the palace for a reunion dinner are of course all relatives of the emperor, and they all have backgrounds.
Xiao Ce's side sat Empress Dowager Guo and Qin Zhao respectively, and the eldest princess of Yongchun and the eldest princess of Yongning also sat at this table.
In addition, Princess Yonghe also entered the palace, and Luo Yan accompanied Princess Yonghe into the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, naturally sitting with Princess Yonghe.
As for King An and his beautiful concubine, they were arranged at another table farthest from the imperial seat, which was also the arrangement of Empress Dowager Guo when she managed the harem.
When Qin Zhao saw this small detail, he knew that Empress Dowager Guo was still somewhat afraid of Xiao Yi.
The staff of this reunion dinner was simple, everyone ate silently, and few people spoke.
However, Xiao Ce served Qin Zhao from time to time, and he was still holding a small atom in his arms, looking less serious than before.
But no matter what, he is also an emperor, and he does not smile strictly on weekdays, even if he is holding a small atom in his arms at the moment, everyone does not dare to get close to him.
Empress Dowager Guo eats very little, just because she doesn't eat much now. Under Luo Qing's conditioning, although Empress Dowager Guo's body is better than before, her energy is not as good as before.
It's just that on a big occasion like today, everyone hasn't finished eating, so she can only continue to wait.
Or Qin Zhao found that Empress Dowager Guo was not in good spirits, and asked in a low voice: "Does the Empress Dowager want to go back to Cihe Palace to rest first?" ”
Xiao Ce also looked at Empress Dowager Guo, facing Empress Dowager Guo's gray and pale face.
Empress Dowager Guo also looked over, "The mourning family's body is useless, go back to Cihe Palace to rest first, and here you will watch more of Concubine Lao." ”
"Yes, the concubine sends the queen mother." Qin Zhao got up, and did a good job in etiquette.
After that, with the support of Nianyun, Empress Dowager Guo took the lead in leaving and returned to Cihe Palace.
"Niangniang will rest for a while?" Nianyun helped the Empress Dowager Guo to the bedroom.
Empress Dowager Guo walked for a short distance and panted and sighed: "The mourning family's body is too useless, and it will be like this after walking a few steps." ”
"Don't say bad things. In the eyes of the slave maid, the queen mother's body is very tough. Nianyun helped the Empress Dowager Guo to sit on the bed, and then took a warm pillow and put it on the back of the Empress Dowager Guo.
Empress Dowager Guo leaned comfortably and saw all the details of what Nian Yun had done.
"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you have served the mourning family for a whole year, and today you will rest, and the mourning family will sleep by itself for a while." Empress Dowager Guo took Nianyun's hand, with gentle eyebrows and eyes.
Nianyun shook his head: "The slave maid has to accompany the mother to feel at ease." ”
