Chapter 370: Bracing the Waist
Knowing that Li Yu wanted Empress Dowager Chen to move out, Xie Wan was somewhat surprised.
But she didn't say anything, as long as Empress Dowager Chen didn't come out to provoke her, then everyone would have a quiet life.
But there is one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is family dinner.
Due to the cold weather, the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was set at noon, and in order to show grace, some close ministers were invited to the banquet. This is the largest banquet since the national funeral.
Early in the morning, the eldest princess and others entered the palace, and the courtiers naturally took their children to Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother first, so Cining Palace was lively and lively, but Kunning Palace was deserted.
Since the Empress Dowager Chen said a word of protection on the day of delivery, Xin Qingwan has never taken the initiative to visit the Empress Dowager Chen, even today, she only came to see Xie Wan with Youyou.
Xie Wan has never persuaded her, after all, if she doesn't persuade others to be kind, if it were her, she wouldn't be able to pass the level in her heart.
Xie Lin hugged Youyou and played on the side, and Xie Wan and Xin Qingwan sat outside basking in the sun.
Xin Qingwan looked at her and said, "Why don't you go to Cining Palace?" Aren't you afraid that the queen mother will complain to the eldest princess? I heard that the Queen Mother was stunned by you the night before. ”
Xie Wan basked in the sun comfortably, pondering the possibility of getting sunglasses, and said lightly: "If she wants to complain, there is an opportunity, the result is the same whether I go or not, rather than waste that effort, it is better to live my own life." ”
Xin Qingwan heard the words and persuaded: "You and I are always different, I don't point to her to live now, and I don't have to look at her face, but you, after all, are the queen, and you have to get by on your face." ”
After saying this, she leaned over and whispered: "This year is due to the national funeral, and the civil and military officials naturally dare not open their mouths to mention the matter of filling the harem, but it will be difficult to say next year, you can look at it, it will only be three months at most, and the draft will definitely be put on the agenda." ”
"If the Queen Mother makes trouble again, this matter will be troublesome."
Xie Wan opened her eyes and looked at her: "If I go to please her, there will be no draft?" ”
Xin Qingwan frowned: "That's not going to happen." ”
"That's right." Xie Wan sat up straight and took a sip of tea: "Since the result is the same, why waste your efforts." ”
"You're indifferent." Xin Qingwan picked up the teacup and sighed lightly: "I hope this harem will always be so calm, and there will be no more moths." ”
As Xin Qingwan expected, Empress Dowager Chen really cried in front of everyone, crying that Xie Wan was disrespectful to her, and claimed that she was not born by her, so she didn't need to respect her at all, and even said that she would not take the initiative to greet her in the future.
The room full of people looked at each other when they heard this, and Mrs. Wu'anhou and Mrs. Chu glanced at each other, and their faces were not very good, but because of their identities, the two of them couldn't speak at all.
Mrs. Xin's face is not very good, and now that the Xin family and Xie Wan are already prosperous, she is also very unhappy to hear that Empress Dowager Chen has tarnished Xie Wan's reputation like this.
The other women didn't dare to speak, but there was no lack of joy in their hearts, after all, there was only one queen in His Majesty's harem now, and the queen mother was dissatisfied with the queen, so she thought that it was imperative to draft a concubine.
The eldest princess patiently listened to the cry of the Empress Dowager Chen, and then said with a calm face: "The queen mother has been saying that the queen is disrespectful to you, but as far as the retainers know, the queen comes to greet you every day, but you have been avoiding it. You said that the queen was not filial to you, but this glass window, the entire Jin Dynasty only has His Majesty's imperial study and Cining Palace, and even Kunning Palace does not have it. ”
"If Jin'er can marry a daughter-in-law like the queen in the future, the sons will wake up laughing from their dreams."
When Empress Dowager Chen heard this, she was immediately annoyed: "There are you who contradict the queen mother like this? She's just putting on a show, whether it's true or false for the mourning family, how can the mourning family not know?! ”
The eldest princess was annoyed, she put down the teacup and said coldly: "What kind of daughter-in-law does the queen mother want?" Ma Yuyan like that?! ”
Empress Dowager Chen was also annoyed when she heard this: "What's wrong with Ma Yuyan, at least she is not a fox, coaxing everyone to come and fight against the mourning family!" ”
The eldest princess was really angry: "Yes, she just took your eldest son's life!" ”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Chen suddenly shut up and turned pale.
The eldest princess said angrily: "Queen Mother, if you want others to respect you, first of all, you have to look like an elder!" When the Ma family palace changed, the queen was afraid that the Ma family would threaten your safety, so she deliberately took you to the Hou Mansion, and after becoming the queen, she asked you for peace every day, and she thought about you first if she had glass! ”
"And you? What's the difference with the vicious mother-in-law in those scripts?! This Cining Palace is too aggrieved to stay, and the sons will leave first! ”
The eldest princess got up, ignored Empress Dowager Chen's ugly face, and walked away directly.
Mrs. Xin also got up: "The concubine still wants to see the little princess, so she will retire first." ”
Mrs. Wu'anhou and Mrs. Chu also stood up: "The concubine has retired." ”
The Yang family, who had already married King Yu, also stood up: "The concubine retired ......"
Hula-la, the number of people in the hall is less than half.
Empress Dowager Chen's face was pale, looking at their departing backs, and slammed the teacup in her hand.
The rest of the people didn't dare to speak out again, and the women who were secretly thinking about the draft before also beat drums in their hearts.
Although the queen is disgusted by the queen mother, and the Yongyu Marquis Mansion has declined, there are many people who can support her.
Which of the first to leave is not a heavy minister?
Compared with the queen who is supported by everyone, the queen mother, who is desperate and crying to her courtiers, still has nothing but the title.
When the eldest princess came to Kunning Palace, she was so angry that she didn't even have time to pour tea for her, so she directly picked up the teacup and poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all.
Just after drinking tea, Mrs. Xin, Mrs. Wu Anhou and others also arrived one after another, and their faces were not very good.
After the ceremony, Xie Wan immediately ordered snacks and hot tea to be served, and without waiting for them to explain the reason, she smiled and led the topic to Youyou.
Everyone is not stupid, so they naturally understood that she didn't want to talk about it, so they talked about the child by the way.
Xie Wan looked at Mrs. Wu'an Hou and said, "If this palace is not mistaken, Sister Sun will be born in a few days, right?" ”
Mrs. Wu'anhou was happy and worried, and nodded: "It's only been one or two months." ”
Xie Wan soothed: "It's okay, Sister Sun will be safe, and when the time comes, the palace will send a few more medical women, they are already very proficient in the technique of side cutting." ”
Speaking of having a child, the eldest princess couldn't help asking, "When do you plan to have one too?" I heard that His Majesty once said in the court that he would stay until the next year? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Xie Wan.
Mrs. Xin handed Yoyo to the nurse and persuaded with some concern: "Is it too late the year after tomorrow?" ”
Everyone knows that although the national funeral is a year, as long as the New Year passes, the national funeral will be relaxed, if Xie Wan really wants to wait until the year after tomorrow to get pregnant, someone will inevitably talk about this.
Xie Wan didn't want to talk more, so she just smiled: "Let it be." ”
