Chapter 18, a play
After waiting for a few people to eat, Meng Guqing led the children, Xina and the maids in Kunning Palace to dance a square dance.
And the spring breeze was proudly blessed, and he seemed to hold his breath in his heart, and when he got off the court, he walked to Kunning Palace, just at the door, and heard the laughter inside.
Fu Lin frowned, the laughter inside was too tempting.
"Sister Queen, I can't do it, I can't do it, I really can't dance."
"Xina, your body is not good, you have to exercise regularly."
Xina sat on her knees, unable to get up alive or dead.
"No, no."
"Look at you, it's not as good as the clouds."
Xina didn't know how this little kid could have such good energy.
Meng Guqing felt that the first time was almost over, and beckoned Yun Duo to sit down and rest.
There was a little sweat on Yun Duo's forehead, Meng Guqing looked at it, beckoned Yun Duo to step forward, shook off the handkerchief and wiped the child, and fed her personally.
Xina watched from the side, and felt that the queen had changed, and she had become warm and lovely.
Meng Guqing touched the child's back and found that the back was soaked, so he ordered someone to take the child down to change clothes.
Sheena was a little confused.
After the child left, she asked, "Sister Queen, do you know where the emperor rested last night?" ”
Meng Guqing glanced at Xina and sighed helplessly.
"Sheena, if you're okay, read more books."
"Sister Queen, aren't you really angry?"
A little cold, Meng Guqing gathered the cover on his body, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of women in the deep palace, and our emperor will not guard himself like a jade for one person, he will spoil this one today, and he will spoil another tomorrow, if you want to be angry, I can't anger myself to death?" ”
“……”
"You and I are Mongolian nobles, as long as you don't make mistakes, don't ask for feelings that shouldn't beg, as long as the Manchus still need us Mongolia, you and I will always be higher than others in this deep palace."
"Sister Queen doesn't want to have a child of her own?"
Meng Guqing looked at Xina and said helplessly: "How dangerous it is to give birth to a child by yourself, maybe if the child is not born, the person will be gone, and if you give birth to a child, you have to raise it for others, what do you say?" ”
Meng Guqing beckoned Xina to come closer, and said: "Those few in your yard are like flowers and jade, don't patronize and play, plan for them, let them give birth, give birth to one, and you can also take care of them." ”
Xina's eyes lit up, there was a beauty in her yard.
"Okay, don't annoy me here, go back and plan, you can hold the child in a few days."
Xena nodded wildly.
And in the courtyard, listening to all these blessings, he turned and left.
Wu Liangfu trotted behind and followed.
"Long live the lord, long live the lord......"
Fu Lin suddenly paused and looked at Wu Liangfu viciously, but he could only be angry, because the queen was right.
But I can't say how uncomfortable I am.
"Long live the lord, the queen mother has figured it out now, and she will inevitably be virtuous in the future, and she will run the harem for the emperor, and you don't have to worry about it."
"If she does a good job in the future, do you want to give her a child, isn't it up to you?"
Before Wu Liangfu could finish speaking, he was kicked by the emperor.
"You have no roots, you know what."
"Yes, yes, the minions don't understand. It's just the emperor, where are we going now? ”
"Go back to the Qianqing Palace."
In the next few days, the palace was lively, and the Qianqing palace received soup and water and cakes from the harem women from time to time, and even some people met the emperor in the imperial garden and sang a cappella song.
This time, the emperor was also a little annoyed, and scolded the concubines of the palace, staying in his own palace and not allowed to go out.
Everyone didn't dare to go to the emperor, so they could only go to the queen to call the shots.
Because there is a mourning concubine to vouch for the queen, saying that the queen is merciful, the concubines in this palace dare to seek the queen to call the shots.
The queen saw that none of these people succeeded, and even the best-looking concubines were all gone, Meng Guqing had to wonder if the emperor was sick.
Meng Guqing looked at Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen lowered her head shyly.
Meng Guqing understood that it was not the emperor who was sick, but that they were not good.
"Next month is the Queen Mother's birthday, you just have to work hard."
The concubines looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.
"If you don't have a show to perform, I can set it for you."
She has a lot of programs in her head.
After the women left, Meng Guqing thought about what gift to give to the Queen Mother.
She went to Cining Palace to learn from Aunt Su Mala, who had followed the Queen Mother for so many years, so she naturally understood.
"The queen mother is now a precious person, and it stands to reason that she wants everything, and the only thing she lacks is her grandson."
This one is a bit difficult.
"Anything else?"
Aunt Su Mala looked at the queen mother and didn't answer, and said: "The queen mother was still talking yesterday, there are only a few opera troupes in this palace, there are only a few singing and singing, there is nothing new, if the mother wants to please the queen mother, it is better to ask the clan ladies and noblewomen to see if they have a good troupe." ”
Want to listen to the theater? It's easy.
Meng Guqing said goodbye to Aunt Su Mala, and went to Nanfu, she needed to rehearse an opera,
An interesting drama --- Grandma White getting drunk.
There is a Yue Opera class owner in Nanfu, who is transparent, and as soon as she said the general content of the opera, he understood.
"The queen is at ease, as long as the ladies like it, the minions will rehearse."
In the past half a month, Meng Guqing went to Nanfu every day to watch them rehearse, and if they didn't do well, they would change it.
After more than half a month, this opera can finally be put on the stage.
On the eve of the Queen Mother's birthday, Meng Guqing invited the Queen Mother and the harem concubines to listen to the play together.
The Queen Mother didn't seem to have heard of this play, and listened to it very seriously.
"Queen, you are attentive."
Seeing half of it, the emperor came and sat beside the queen mother.
"Huang Eniang, it's not tomorrow's birthday, why did you do it today?"
"You're going to ask the Queen."
Fu Lin looked at Meng Guqing, he deliberately didn't inquire about her these days, but he couldn't help but want to know what she was doing?
So here he came.
"Auntie, it's not because you're busy tomorrow that I'll give you a gift in advance. I personally supervised the construction of this play, and it took more than half a month to revise and revise it. ”
"The queen works hard, and the mourning family is rewarded."
The emperor looked at the stage, came halfway, and didn't understand anything about singing.
"What are you singing?"
The Empress Dowager said: "This is about a salt merchant's widow Grandma Bai who tried her best to marry her pampered and arrogant daughter Feng Ying to a rich child. Tong Gongzi heard that Miss Bai was a little arrogant and didn't want to do this family business, but the marriage had already been decided, and there was no reason to withdraw from the marriage, so he designed to invite the Bai family's grandmother and daughter to come to the house to find a reason to withdraw from the marriage, but Grandma Bai deceived and deceived the superiors and subordinates, and made a fake daughter to go to the Tong Mansion...... "At this time, the stage is singing about the Bai family's affairs," What is the result? ”
"The mourning family heard it for the first time, and they didn't know it. However, don't ask, the mourners want to listen to it themselves. "No spoilers.
The emperor looked not far away and found that the concubines in the harem were all staring at the stage, and even when he came, they didn't pay more attention to it.
Is this opera so good?
"Your Majesty, it's okay here, you go back and get busy, don't delay the government."
The emperor felt a little uncomfortable, and left in a huff.
