Chapter 255: Dismounting
On the day of the birthday banquet, Ling Bao followed his mother and brothers into the palace together.
Went to the harem to see the Queen Mother and the Queen, they were both in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, and before they reached the inner room, they heard the Queen Mother's laughter.
Jiang Baohui heard his voice before he saw him: "What did the queen mother say so happy? Let the retainers listen to it too."
"Kangyang is here." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Sit down."
The Queen Mother is well-maintained, she is over half a hundred years old, but there are not many wrinkles on her face, her hair is also dark, you need to search very carefully to see a few silver threads, her eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and she looks very easy to get along with, but no one in the life women present really dares to be presumptuous.
Jiang Baohui took Lingbao to perform a blessing ceremony, after all, it was a harem, so she didn't bring her three sons with her.
The other wives got up to give Jiang Baohui a salute.
It's really hard work.
"The Queen Mother hasn't told me what to laugh at." Jiang Baohui sat down with the hem of her clothes, bent her eyes, and looked at the queen inquiringly.
The queen sat dignifiedly, looked at her but didn't say a word, but picked up the teacup, skimmed the foam from the teacup, and took a sip.
Jiang Baohui seemed to feel something, and she knew it in her heart.
"Speaking of the twelve, he came to the palace a few days ago to ask for peace, saying that he didn't come back from my birthday banquet last year, and he made up for the birthday gift, so it's hard to bother with this child." The queen mother said that the old twelfth is the king of Qi who came to Beijing from the fiefdom a few days ago, and he is ranked twelve.
Some people chimed in and praised him, and there was no mother who didn't like to hear her son be praised, even if the son had already passed his prime.
Ling Bao sat on the round stool, the round stool of Shoukang Palace was made of adult shape, high, she sat on her toes and almost touched the floor, she gently shook her calves, looking at the smiling Queen Mother.
The eldest brother once told her that the current queen mother is not the biological mother of the emperor's uncle and mother, their biological mother was born before Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, and was later raised by the emperor under her knees.
However, the Queen Mother is not childless, on the contrary, her son is the King of Qi.
At this moment, the Queen Mother looked at Ling Bao and said, "By the way, Yuqiong and Yuning are also here, and Ling Ah, you can have two more playmates."
Jiang Yuqiong, Jiang Yuning, the concubine of King Qi.
The Queen Mother beckoned to Ling Bao, Jiang Baohui gently pushed her shoulder, and Ling Bao jumped off the chair and went to the Queen Mother's side.
"You are sisters, and you have the same blood in your blood, but you have to get along well." After a pause, he took Ling Bao's hand and said, "Your two sisters are pampered and may have a bad temper, but they have good hearts, and Ling Ling, for the sake of the emperor's grandmother, can you take care of them more?"
Lingbao nodded and said yes, and the Queen Mother smiled comfortably and patted the back of her hand with satisfaction.
Everyone talked for a while, and a palace maid came to inform them that the time for admission was almost up, and the woman got up and retired one by one, and Jiang Baohui and Lingbao also retired.
Lingbao and the others walked slowly, admiring the surrounding scenery as they walked, and only when there was no one around, Jiang Baohui stopped.
"Mother, do you have something to say to me?" Before Jiang Baohui could speak, Ling Bao asked as if he had some feelings.
Jiang Baohui raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "How do you know?" ….
"My mother looked at me several times before, and she stopped talking."
In fact, it is not obvious, after all, in front of so many people, but who makes Lingbao sensitive to the emotional perception of others, especially her mother, of course, is more keen.
"My mother does have something to say to you." Jiang Baohui said.
Lingbao's eyes widened, indicating that he was listening carefully.
"If the Empress Dowager Fang Cai said that you should be playmates with the concubine of the Qi Wang family, you don't have to listen."
Jiang Baohui was a little unhappy, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion at that time, she might not be able to help but refute the Queen Mother's face on the spot.
Who doesn't know, the two daughters of the Qi Wang family have a terrible temper, and they are arrogant, so they have to follow them to provide for them, and if they don't go well, they will be beaten and scolded, the difference is that the high status of the two sentences of scolding, and the low status can get started.
Lingbao has a warm temperament, and she has never seen her blush, if she plays with those two, she will definitely be bullied every day.
Jiang Baohui thought about it for a while, as if she saw Lingbao hiding under the cover and crying with tears on her face, and she was almost heartbroken to death just thinking about it.
The daughter she finally found back, why should she wronged herself and accommodate them?
Her daughter is younger than Jiang Yuqiong and Jiang Yuning!
It's just that the Queen Mother is also quite good to her, and she can't bear it until now.
"I know." Ling Bao looked up proudly, "Mother, I'm not stupid. That's called, play on the spot!"
Jiang Baohui: "......"
She was rarely a little speechless, and after being silent for a long time, she rubbed her head and said with a smile, "You're quite clever."
Ling Bao made a "uh-huh" sound in his throat, and admitted without blushing, "I'm the smartest."
When they had finished speaking, it was time for them to enter the feast.
The people have basically arrived, and Lingbao sat down beside Cheng Yun.
Cheng Yi said sourly, "Why don't you sit next to me? It's also a good place to sit next to me."
Cheng Yun smiled lightly and remained unmoved.
Lingbao sighed loudly: "Second brother, how old are you, and you are still so naïve."
"It's not because you're biased." Cheng Yi snorted coldly.
Ling Bao smiled, not afraid of him being angry at all, and nodded his cheek and said, "Shame, the third brother is much more stable than you."
Cheng Yi glanced at Cheng Jin, who was sitting firmly, and Cheng Jin asked, "Then do you want to sit with me?"
Jiang Baohui smiled, "None of the three of you want to be next to me? Okay, one by one, I forgot my mother when I had a sister, didn't I?" She gestured to her feet, "Shall I go?"
Ling Bao hugged her arm and didn't let her go, and Cheng Yun and the others also apologized.
The family talked and laughed, and they were happy, which was very different from the respect and closeness of other families, so that many people at the banquet were watching them.
As soon as Ling Bao looked up, he saw Cheng Zhongqian walking this way, and immediately shouted happily, "Daddy!"
Cheng Zhongqian answered, and shouted with a shy face, "Baohui."
Ling Bao looked at them, rolled his eyes, moved to the right, and pulled Jiang Baohui to his side, and said enthusiastically, "Daddy, you can sit next to your mother."
Cheng Zhongqian sat down without hesitation.
Normally, even if there are so many people watching today, Jiang Baohui's cheeks blushed: "What are you doing?" Isn't your position on the other side?"
Cheng Zhongqian said aggrievedly: "I think you have to be tight. We haven't seen each other for three days since we last separated."
That's three full days. If you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn.
Jiang Baohui's heart jumped by his straightforward words, and frowned and reprimanded, "You pay attention to the occasion."
Cheng Zhongqian's eyes lit up slightly: "Then I'll say it privately."
Jiang Baohui: "......"
Jiang Baohui glanced at him, not wanting to deal with this cheeky guy.
At this time, a eunuch said in a loud voice, "The emperor has arrived—the queen mother has arrived—the queen has arrived—"
The conversation stopped abruptly, everyone got up and saluted, and only after Emperor Jingtai sat down did he say, "Everyone Aiqing is flat."
After sitting down again, Emperor Jingtai swept his eyes and found that there was a position that was empty, and his eyes sank.
"Hasn't King Qi come yet?"
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
As soon as the words fell, someone walked in from outside the hall laughing.
"Brother Huang forgives his sins, but his brother is late."
