Chapter 7: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
Therefore, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were extremely attentive to Song Xuanran.
But something embarrassing happened.
For half a month after Song Xuanran entered the palace, Xiao Chengze stayed in the queen's palace every day. didn't pay attention to the meaning of this eldest lady of the Song family at all, let alone Concubine Feng.
If you want to say that the most anxious about this matter has to be the Queen Mother, watching her beautiful niece and niece being snubbed by the little emperor for half a month.
The Queen Mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the eunuch Zhao beside her to invite Xiao Chengze over for dinner.
"Ze'er, I haven't seen you in this palace for many days, and I miss you very much." As soon as the Queen Mother saw Xiao Chengze, she began to frantically express her thoughts.
Xiao Chengze said meekly: "It's Ze'er who is wrong, he is busy dealing with the affairs of the DPRK and China day and night, so he has no time to visit the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother is very understanding.
"Government affairs are important, I am already very happy that you can come once a month."
"Ze'er, let me introduce you, this is the niece of my own family."
"Your Majesty." Song happily got up and saluted, his body was like a thin willow exhausting the wind, which made people feel pity.
Xiao Chengze suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the uproaring sister of my uncle's family." ”
After Xiao Chengze finished speaking, he also showed an extremely bright smile at Song Xuanran.
He was born handsome, even if his skin became a little dark, it couldn't hide his handsome face. A smile captured the girl's heart.
Song Xuanran instantly felt blushing, originally she only entered the palace at the behest of her father and aunt, but who knew that when she saw the emperor today, she actually fell in love with him at first sight.
Xiao Chengze's uncle listened to the Queen Mother how happy and happy he was, it was really better to be born than to be born.
The Queen Mother saw Song Xuanran's blushing face again, and understood that her niece was very satisfied with the emperor, and the odds in her heart increased by a few percent.
Before Xiao Chengze left, he asked Xiao Chenzi to send a few tribute brocades this year, which are the most fashionable patterns at the moment, and they are also bright colors suitable for young girls to wear.
Song Xuanran accepted the brocade delicately, and simply thought that Xiao Chengze was very satisfied with himself and would give himself a name.
She doesn't have to ask for any concubine, the position of the concubine, the concubine, and the concubine she is happy with.
But Song Xuanran's good wishes were quickly shattered, Xiao Chengze was completely forgotten since he saw her last time, and he never mentioned her again.
Song Xuanran looked at the gate of Shoukang Palace every day like a wangfu stone, but he never saw Xiao Chengze's figure.
The Queen Mother knew that it was not a way to go on like this, and Song Xuanran had to take the initiative, so she gave Song Xuanran an idea and asked her to take food to visit him in the emperor's palace.
Song Xuanran has always been very obedient, so according to the queen mother's wishes, he made a bowl of osmanthus lotus seeds glutinous rice dumplings and sent it to Xiao Chengze.
"Miss Song." Xiao Chenzi stopped Song Xuanran, "Your Majesty is discussing state affairs with the ministers of the DPRK and China in the house, and it is inconvenient to see you now." ”
"Don't worry, I'm just here to send some food to Your Majesty, since Your Majesty is busy with business now, I will transfer it to Gonggong Lao."
Song Xuanran handed the food box to Xiao Chenzi's hand. Satisfied, he left.
After Song Xuanran left, he did not go back to Shoukang Palace directly, but went to the Imperial Garden, where there was an artificially dug lake, in which a large number of lotus flowers and koi were raised. Now you can see lotus flowers in this season.
Song Xuanran took the mung bean cake in his hand with great interest, pinched it into small pieces and fed them to the precious koi in the lake.
On the other side of the lake, a little palace maid walked by, and the food box she was holding in her hand was the one she had just handed over to Xiao Chenzi.
Song Xuanran called the little palace maid.
"Where is this food box delivered?"
"It's sent to the queen's palace." The little palace maid replied truthfully. She didn't know that this was the food that Song Xuanran gave to Xiao Chengze, and simply thought that it was the food that the emperor gave to the queen.
"Miss Song, what's the matter?"
Song Xuanran came to his senses and said, "It's nothing."
"Then the slave and maid went first."
Song Xuanran nodded weakly.
After the decadence, Song Xuanran decided to meet the legendary queen mother.
"Who did you say was coming?"
Zhou Yunyi was eating the bowl of osmanthus lotus seed glutinous rice dumplings, and Xiaocui told her that Song Xuanran was here.
"The eldest lady of the Song family is here to meet you." Xiao Cui repeated.
Zhou Yunyi didn't want to see it, but after thinking about it carefully, after all, she was the niece of the Queen Mother, and she still wanted to save face, so Zhou Yunyi decided to meet Song Xuanran.
Zhou Yunyi asked the palace maid to quickly clean up the half-eaten rice balls, wiped off the broken osmanthus on her mouth, and asked Xiaocui to welcome Song Xuanran in.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, this Song Xuanran looks really beautiful, but his figure is a little worse, he has no breasts and no ass.
"The courtier Song Xuanran has seen the queen's mother."
Song Xinran is also a child, and as soon as they met, they gave Zhou Yunyi a bowing salute.
"Xiaocui quickly help Miss Song up and give Miss Song a seat."
Zhou Yunyi looked at Song Xuanran carefully, but she was also a beauty.
"How old is Miss Song now?"
After Zhou Yunyi wore it, she rarely socialized with other nobles. Now that I've met it, I don't know what to talk about.
Song Xuanran replied, "It's twenty-two today." ”
Zhou Yunyi's face was full of surprise.
"You're twenty-two!"
In ancient times, women could marry after the age of 15, and it was rare for a woman like Zhou Yunyi to delay until the age of 18 and not get married.
I really didn't expect Song Xuanran to drag on to such an old age and still haven't discussed marriage, it seems that the people of the Song family really just want to stuff her to Xiao Chengze.
Song Xuanran's face was extremely difficult to see in an instant, anyone who was said by others to be an old girl who couldn't get married would feel uncomfortable in her heart, but her good upbringing made her unable to say anything ugly.
Song Xuanran knelt on the ground again as if he had made up his mind, kowtowing three times.
"Miss Song, what is this for?" Zhou Yunyi was taken aback by Song Xuanran's sudden movements.
Song Xuanran cried faintly.
"I beg the queen to have mercy."
Zhou Yun supported his forehead.
"You're even getting the general direction wrong!"
"You want to enter the palace as a concubine to ask for my mercy, but you should go to ask the emperor for mercy."
Song Xuanran didn't answer, and tears couldn't stop dripping on the red carpet.
Song Xuanran cried, and Zhou Yunyi's head was bigger, as if she was bullying people.
Zhou Yunyi hurriedly helped Song Xuanran up in person, and said comfortingly: "With your family background and your relationship with the Queen Mother, isn't it easy to seal the concubine." ”
"I don't have such great hopes, as long as I can enter the palace, even if I am a little nobleman, it is an uproar of blessing." Song Xuanran said while wiping his tears.
I'm so pitiful.
Zhou Yunyi looked at Song Xuanran's crying little face, and suddenly had a plan for this life.
"What you just said is true." Zhou Yunyi approached Song Xuanran and asked.
"It's all sincere."
"Then how about I give you a plan to help you?"
Song Xuanran nodded.
Zhou Yunyi whispered: "You go back first for a while, and then you sneak in through the side door at night, change into my pajamas, and lie on the bed." The next thing, you know. ”
Song Xuanran was stunned, he didn't expect the queen mother to be so bold, even His Majesty the Emperor dared to deceive.
Zhou Yunyi saw that Song Xuanran was stunned, so she stretched her finger in front of her eyes and shook her hand.
"That's it."
Song Xuanran was sent out of Chifeng Palace in a daze, how could she dare to call the shots for such a big matter. So as soon as he returned to Shoukang Palace, he told the Queen Mother about it.
When the Queen Mother heard that this idea was Zhou Yunyi, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, wondering if Zhou Yunyi wanted to frame and get rid of Song Xuanran?
If Song Xuanran really went and did what Zhou Yunyi had planned, and the person who came was not the emperor, but a wild man, wouldn't the reputation of the entire Song family be ruined?
But after thinking about it, this is indeed a good opportunity, Song Xuanran entered the palace for many days, but it did not arouse the slightest interest of Xiao Chengze, and it is not a way to go on like this.
So he asked Song Xuanran to accept this plan, and in order to be foolproof, he also sent his personal eunuch Zhao to keep an eye on it.
If the person who comes is not the emperor, kill the wild man, and if the person who comes is the emperor, put a tube of acacia incense in the room.
Song Xuanran didn't expect that the Queen Mother's aunt would agree to Zhou Yunyi's plan.
Song Xuanran's education since childhood is the traditional three obedience and four virtues, and now she is unwilling to let a girl who has not left the cabinet leave her face to seduce her cousin.
But her marriage has never been her own business, but the interests of the whole family, and the interests of the family do not allow her to have such shame.
In the evening, Song Xuanran came to Chifeng Palace as promised.
Zhou Yunyi personally dressed her up, changed her pajamas, and smeared her with her usual favorite balm.
Song Xuanran looked at the bottles and cans in front of him. sighed that it really deserves the treatment of the queen, just these rouge gouache balms, I'm afraid each jar will cost dozens of taels of silver. It can be seen that Xiao Chengze loves the queen.
The two of them are similar in shape, and they really can't tell from the back alone.
After everything was ready, Zhou Yunyi took Xiaocui to hide in the warehouse of the imperial dining room.
The warehouse is stocked with a lot of fresh meat, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Zhou Yunyi took two melons, wiped them with his clothes, and gave one to Xiaocui.
Xiao Cui hugged the melon in her hand and said, "Miss, are we really going to do this? Your Majesty will not kill us afterwards? ”
Zhou Yunyi's mouth was stuffed with melons, and her voice was inarticulate.
"All men in the world are the same, there is no bad one, why do you say that the dog emperor likes me? Marry me into the palace, it's not because Miss Ben is beautiful. ”
"Although Miss Song's appearance is not as good as mine, she can also be called beautiful as a flower. I don't believe that the dog emperor can hold it. ”
After Zhou Yunyi finished speaking, he took a big bite of the melon.
"It's so sweet. Xiao Cui, you can taste it. ”
Xiaocui also followed Zhou Yunyi to nibble on the melon, chattering while gnawing.
"Miss, do you think Miss Song will succeed? It's hard to see her like that. ”
"Of course she can't rely on her alone, but she must have told the Queen Mother about this, and the Queen Mother will definitely find a way to help her, and the probability of success with the Queen Mother will skyrocket."
……
After Xiao Chengze was busy for a day, he went directly to Chifeng Palace, and after entering Chifeng Palace, he found that the person had already gone to bed and lay down.
Xiao Chengze didn't suspect it, because Zhou Yun loved to sleep, and he went to bed very early on weekdays. The person was still wrapped in a thick quilt, and there were no candles, there was no light in the room, and Xiao Chengze couldn't see clearly.
Xiao Chengze began to be served by the palace maid and eunuch, and after bathing and changing clothes and changing into a nightgown, he tiptoed into the dormitory, lifted the quilt and lay down, and hugged the person in front of him from behind.
