Chapter 258: Two Twins
Rong Shangqing hung a heavy turquoise necklace on his chest, the pendant was buried in the depths, the fair skin exuded a charming glow under the swaying bonfire, and the lazy lady was free and mature and charming, only occasionally when she remembered something, a cold disappointment overflowed between her eyebrows, but it made people realize that such a graceful and luxurious woman was actually not happy.
Before the queen mother came in, Rong Shangqing had always been the protagonist in the banquet, the ladies and ladies were full of eulogies, some people envied her maintenance, some people were amazed by her clothes and accessories, and more people tried their best to attract her attention, wanting to have a sentence or two with her, creating a feeling that they were close to the youngest daughter of Zhongyong Gong and had a personal relationship.
But Rong Shangqing has always been absent-minded, she didn't expect her father to be interested in "No. 1".
For this "No. 1 list", of course, Rong Shangqing is also interested, but there are not many...... I just want to see if the young man is interested in it, and the reason why he is in the interest of talent, and I am ready to give him a chance to climb up.
Of course, he also needs to have this opportunity and know how to seize it, so that Rong Shangqing will not go to the pole to do the so-called "thirsty for talent".
But now my father seems to be "thirsty for talent", and insists on letting Rong Shangqing find someone...... In his father's eyes, the Rong family not only wants to produce military generals, but also civil ministers.
Military generals want to lead troops to lead the army, very much look at talent and inheritance, and also need to focus on training, the most important thing is that the work of fighting and commanding is merit, and passing is passing, and this group of Zi Wenchen is nothing more than beeping all day long, living a mixed life, as long as you find someone who can speak well and has ink in his stomach, it is easier to train to speak for the Rong family in the court.
Father thinks so, Rong Shangqing has no choice, he can't be reasonable with him...... Why didn't he want to think about it, isn't Su Changqing a ready-made example? Really excellent Wenchen is not so easy to cultivate.
Rong Shangqing received his father's errand, and had to go to Caiyun Xinghe Building a few more times, the owner of the building, Lan Xinghe, was an informed and knowledgeable person, and he flattered with small eyebrows, but Rong Shangqing understood why men like to come to this kind of place...... The maids and slaves at home know how to serve people, but they are far from being funny, and they are not as versatile as Lan Xinghe, all kinds of rumors and gossip in the market, and even the secrets of the palace in the former dynasty are all at their fingertips.
In short, Rong Shangqing in Caiyun Xinghe Building was also having fun, but he had never seen the first place on the list again.
Originally, it was fine, a young man with some talent, at most, he was handsome, disappeared and disappeared, Rong Shangqing didn't remember him for a few days, the annoying thing is that his father is interested in him now, and he wants Rong Shangqing to take him to the recent poetry meeting.
The name of the poetry club is "Exhausting the Jiangnan", some official backgrounds, and the attention of the Prime Minister Fang Duwei, Miss Fang San will participate, and the talents from all walks of life want to show their talents and win attention, even if there is no way to deliver the poems to the Prime Minister, it is to get the favor of the ladies in various houses, and it is also a beautiful thing.
There are many poetry clubs in Longyin City, and the Jiangnan Poetry Club is one of the leaders, which has been popular for decades, and many of them are famous and talented people who move the world, and they are emerging in the poetry club.
"Third sister, what are you worried about? Is it because of my brother-in-law? Gai Ming'er, you come to the palace, give you a few strong medicines for him to take, just smile at your eyebrows. Rong Baobao invited Rong Shangqing and said.
Rong Baobao said this, of course, to create the feeling that she was also an informed and interesting woman...... Anyway, I heard that married women speak openly like this, Rong Baobao is quick-witted, and naturally knows how to pay attention to such details.
"Lao Niangniang cares...... That's not the case. Rong Shangqing was blushing, and his face was already hot by a little residual wine, and at this time, he even climbed up a trace of redness, and Rong Shangqing was made to cry and laugh by this noble little sister.
She is indeed like the ancestor of the dog and the same clan as the cat at this age, but Su Changqing has eaten a few fierce medicines, and he is also looking for those kiln sisters, it is useless for him to take the medicine on his body in front of Rong Shangqing, but the bones are already soft and wilted, so he can't do anything.
"I don't think you're in good spirits, your eyes are bloodshot, and there are some red spots on the back of your hands, which is clearly a symptom of dryness and heat, mostly caused by the disharmony between husband and wife."
Rong Baobao continued to say tentatively, the more you can verify the reason why Rong Shangqing is like this, the more you can explain that the queen mother has a different complexion from her, what is the reason for the spring breeze and the watery appearance of her eyes.
Hearing what Rong Baobao said, Rong Shangqing was startled, and looked at the back of his hand carefully, and sure enough, there were some imperceptible little red spots, and he couldn't figure out whether it was a reaction to drinking, and it was really a symptom of dryness and heat.
"Looks like we're going to have to rest sooner." Rong Shangqing smiled reluctantly, thinking of Su Changqing's incompetence in his heart, he couldn't help but be extremely angry, but there was no reason to talk about this couple's affair, which made people laugh, but it was impossible to help her solve the problem.
"The queen mother's complexion is very good, probably related to her meditation and cultivation in the silent Zhaojian Nunnery, do you want to ask the queen mother? I just saw that her skin is delicate and her eyes are like autumn water, but she is much better than the third sister. Rong Baobao quietly pouted Rong Shangqing.
Before the queen mother left, she also came to the side hall to say hello to the ladies and dependents, Rong Shangqing had seen it, it was far away at the time, and she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Isn't my aunt resting? Please ask again tomorrow. "Rong Shangqing hasn't seen the Queen Mother alone recently, but she doesn't suspect that she is alienated and ostracized, after all, even if Su Changqing and Nanjun Wang did that stupid thing, Su Changqing's board is just raised high and gently fallen, the focus is still on punishing the mastermind and pampering Su Changqing's Nanjun King, which is naturally for the sake of the Rong family and Rong Shangqing's face.
"The queen mother slept quite late, and every night she had to listen to the teachers and wives talk about a sutra before bathing...... The aura of the Hidden Moon Pool is abundant, and every time you soak it, it makes people feel reborn......" Rong Baobao said, in order not to let Rong Shangqing discover that her meaning of pouting was too obvious, so he turned his head and talked about the various benefits of the Hidden Moon Pool.
Can Rong Shangqing not know the benefits of the Hidden Moon Pool? It is said to be one of the most spiritual springs in the entire Kunlun Mountains, and its benefits far outweigh those of other springs.
The Empress Dowager often lives in the Silent Zhaojian Nunnery, and there is a reason for the Zangyue Pool, but this place belongs exclusively to the palace, and even Rong Shangqing did not want to enter the Zangyue Pool.
Just thinking about it, she couldn't hold back the idea of meeting the Queen Mother, it doesn't matter if she doesn't enter the Tibetan Moon Pool, there is no problem with asking for a bucket of water to bathe, right? It seems that the teachers and wives of the Silent Zhaojian Nunnery are just fetching water in the Tibetan Moon Pool, but they don't go in directly to soak in it.
As a niece who grew up with the Queen Mother, she is not as close as those bewitching nuns.
"Niangniang, let's go and say hello to my aunt together, shall we?" Rong Shangqing got up and said, she doesn't know what arrangements the Queen Mother will have tomorrow morning, she won't go to ask for peace now, and she doesn't know when she will have the opportunity to meet next time.
"No, this palace still has to accompany Your Majesty." Rong Baobao saw that Rong Shangqing had taken the bait, so he couldn't wait to leave, wanting to show off his ability to do things to Qin Beibei.
Rong Shangqing watched Rong Baobao's waist swaying away, and felt a little strange, as if she came over to ask Rong Shangqing to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye...... Is there any taboo among them, such as the fact that it is not suitable to say hello to the Queen Mother now?
But she didn't have the sin of this little cousin, she couldn't write two words of honor in one stroke...... Rong Shangqing didn't doubt him, got up and left the banquet, and went to find the Queen Mother.
Rong Baobao carried her skirt, quietly appeared next to Qin Beibei, gestured to her, and then sat back in her place, listening to Qin Beibei was dealing with the courtiers who were toasting, as soon as those words of congratulations got into Rong Baobao's ears, she wanted to yawn, no wonder Qin Beibei wanted to let Brother Shou'an go to court every day, facing such a group of people, if there is no one who particularly likes and looks comfortable, it is really difficult.
finally waited until the banquet was over, and Qin Beibei drove back to the palace.
Although it is far less spacious and majestic than the imperial palace in Longyin City, it is also extremely luxurious, especially the huge night pearl collected from the sea around Sun Moon Mountain, which can be seen everywhere, and the faint light falls on the ground, as if it is a collection of bright moons.
Rong Baobao did not go to the queen's palace, but followed Qin Beibei, the emperor's harem did not have many concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards at this time, only the queen mother, and it was common to accompany the left and right attendants, but no one could have thought that the queen mother just felt that it was more convenient to prepare for the action of "visiting the Junyan Courtyard at night" in the emperor's palace.
"Mujunyan Temple, as a royal temple, there are some problems with the name of a courtyard." Rong Baobao pondered the information revealed in the various details, "You said yes, right? A smell of the place where the red girl of the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion lives. Those who live in it feel that there will be problems in the affairs of men and women. ”
"Nonsense." Qin Beibei refuted Rong Baobao seriously and seriously as usual, although Qin Beibei had also begun to doubt, but how could such a serious problem be analyzed in a preconceived way?
Qin Beibei was still familiar with the silent Zhaojian Nunnery, and did not want to sit in a sedan chair, but retreated left and right, letting the attendants and palace maids follow from a distance, and she and Rong Baobao slowly walked in the corridor of the palace covered with night.
"The mountains of Yutuan Shitai have Fusu Ju, Mochizuki Shitai's Yueshang Liuju, and Namu Junyan Courtyard, all of which are named after poems and sentences, you can read more books if you are fine, don't open your mouth is the feeling of no ink in your chest, don't ask your mother to honor the world, but don't lose face in front of the world."
"Whoa...... In fact, I originally thought that when I came to the Silent Zhaojian Temple with Brother Shou'an to carry out a secret mission, I would soak in the hot springs in the Tibetan Moon Pond, and then go to Mujunyan Temple to stay. Rong Baobao didn't care about Qin Beibei's ridicule, it was really impossible to say how many years she, the queen mother, could be...... You don't have to take it too seriously.
Besides, as long as the secrets in the palace are not exposed, her position as the queen mother is extremely stable, and she will not be overturned because she does not study.
"What is a secret mission?" Qin Beibei was stunned for a moment, and understood that Rong Baobao was talking about the "Huailong Species", when he was a child, he played with Brother Shou'an, and when he took everyone to mess around, he liked to say that he was on a secret mission...... Qin Beibei sighed in her heart, I don't know if it's feelings or facts, I always feel that I was really happy when I was a child.
When she grew up, she could feel physically and mentally satisfied, full of anticipation and sweetness, and the only time she was in the underground palace and the hall of rebirth that night, when Qin Shou'an still led her and loved her like when she was a child, letting her hide behind him and go on an adventure to get into trouble together.
"Oops!"
"How?" Qin Beibei was startled by Rong Baobao and her heart beat a little tense at first glance, she just stared at the ground thinking about it, and when she heard Rong Baobao screaming, the shadow that she stepped on the ground seemed to be struggling and beating, and she was so frightened that she was about to run away, so she couldn't help but look at Rong Baobao angrily.
Rong Baobao turned a blind eye to Qin Beibei's horizontal eyebrows, and said in horror: "Didn't I hear Master Mochizuki say before that after a man and a woman stir up the wind and rain in the Hidden Moon Pool, they will inevitably be able to make a woman pregnant?" ”
Qin Beibei frowned and stared at Rong Baobao, "Is there such a statement...... But there were no men or women bathing in it before......"
Speaking of which, Qin Beibei knew why Rong Baobao was screaming just now, so he and Rong Baobao looked at each other.
"Think about it...... Think about it...... If it's really as I found out before...... "Rong Baobao's voice couldn't help but cry, "He is really together with him, why don't you have a mandarin duck bathing together?" Maybe, maybe now she has a ...... in her stomach There's a crown prince. ”
Hearing Rong Baobao's crying, Qin Beibei couldn't help but be upset, although the Queen Mother originally said that she and Rong Baobao would do this, but if the Queen Mother did it herself, who could say anything? After all, in the face of this matter, all kinds of self-wishes of children and daughters should be set aside.
Qin Beibei originally thought that the so-called "Night Exploration of Mujunyan Courtyard" was somewhat nonsense, but now he had to do it.
She raised her head, in this starry night, there was no clear moonlight, but there were two shadows that seemed extraordinarily long, across the front hall courtyard in the palace, Qin Beibei stared into the distance, and found that there seemed to be two people standing on the head of the main spine of the main hall.
"You stand there and think you're imposing, don't you? Come over to me! Qin Beibei recognized at a glance that it was definitely not some other Praetorian Guard, only it could be Hei Ji and Bai Ji, and couldn't help but shout angrily.
