Chapter 26: Concubine Duan, Queen
Put it before.
She must not hesitate to choose the latter and give Chang An's husband a dismissal!
But now.
Chang'an was deposed, his situation was bleak, and it didn't make sense to fall into the well.
After thinking about it, it is more interesting to play chess with a big nephew.
I just don't know if the mother concubine will let her out of the palace this time.
Liu Yunmeng came to Concubine Duan's bedroom with apprehension.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw her rubbing her knees with her hands, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with the concubine?" Liu Yunmeng's eyes were full of concern, and he leaned in to help rub his legs.
"It doesn't matter."
Concubine Duan squeezed out a smile and replied, "The old illness is not in the way." ”
"Is the queen making things difficult for you again?" Liu Yunmeng asked.
"It's just some miscellaneous things, which are what the mother should do."
Concubine Duan took Liu Yunmeng's hand, put it on her lap, and said leisurely: "It's nothing for the mother concubine to suffer some grievances, as long as you and Quan Er grow up safely, the mother concubine will be satisfied." ”
"The Mother ......"
Liu Yunmeng's heart was sour, his eyes were slightly red, and he said angrily: "The queen is too bullying, wait for Brother Ning Wang to become the emperor in ......the future."
"Dreams! Don't talk nonsense! ”
Concubine Duan interrupted in a hurry.
Liu Yunmeng pouted: "The cultivation of the anti-normal An has been abolished, and no one will support the queen in the future, sooner or later, the status of the mother concubine will surpass her." ”
The queen has no heirs, only one daughter, that is, Liu Ruyan, the princess of Chang'an.
It stands to reason that even if she is a queen of the world, she has no heirs, and she will inevitably be criticized.
But for more than a decade, her position has been solid.
Just because of Princess Chang'an's talent and prestige, she is not weaker than any prince!
Even.
For a long time, it was rumored that the emperor wanted to appoint Princess Chang'an as the prince and achieve a generation of empresses!
It was not until later that King Ning, who led the army to the south, rose strongly, and such a voice gradually subsided.
"Although Chang An was seriously injured, he ......"
Concubine Duan wanted to speak and stopped.
"But what?" Liu Yunmeng asked.
Concubine Duan hesitated for a while, sighed, and said leisurely: "But Your Majesty has already issued an order to marry her to the prince of Zhenbei, and the king of Zhenbei is divided into one side, and her strength is strong, even Your Majesty is quite jealous."
As the saying goes, the husband respects the wife, and Chang An marries the prince of Zhenbei, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise and maintains his original status. ”
After speaking, seeing that her daughter didn't react, she said earnestly: "Tomorrow is the day when the prince of Zhenbei enters the palace, and the queen will set up a banquet for him. ”
"What displeased the Queen?" Liu Yunmeng looked dazed.
Concubine Duan said: "It is rumored that Chang An married the prince of Zhenbei Wang for the sake of the tiger, and raising the tiger is a problem......
Liu Yunmeng seemed to understand something, and replied: "Don't worry, the concubine, the sons won't ...... like this."
After a pause, he whispered:
"Because Erchen didn't plan to go to the banquet."
She knew that the concubine wanted her to make trouble at the banquet, but she pretended not to know and lowered her head weakly.
Concubine Duan was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?" ”
Liu Yunmeng whispered: "Erchen and Sister Bai of Baiyunguan agreed to send her some calligraphy and paintings, so ......"
"Just a few calligraphy and paintings, just let the guards deliver them."
"Erchen made an appointment with her to play chess together."
"And there's no hurry."
“……”
Liu Yunmeng lowered his head and did not speak.
Seeing this, Concubine Duan knew that she had made a decision and asked, "Didn't you like to attend banquets the most before?" ”
Liu Yunmeng whispered: "The banquet is nothing more than drinking and dancing poetry, otherwise it is a pot throwing and flying flower order, and the sons are not good at poetry, so it is not interesting to go." ”
Seeing that she didn't want to change her words, Concubine Duan sighed and said leisurely: "If you don't want to go, it's just that the mother is not the only one whose children are not around, and the mother concubine is also very good......
Liu Yun dreamed of a lost look of his mother, and couldn't help but think of the picture of the mother sitting alone in the corner, the tip of her nose was sour, and she changed her words: "Erchen has changed his mind, Erchen will attend the banquet, and by the way, he will meet the prince of Zhenbei for a while." ”
"If you go to cause trouble, it's better not to go." Duan Concubine said.
"Mother concubine rest assured, the sons know the proportions, and they will definitely not make a big deal out of it." Liu Yunmeng raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be quite experienced.
When the child is older, he knows how to share his worries for his mother......
Concubine Duan was suddenly relieved, and was about to say something, when she heard her say:
"Can the mother help her son?"
"What?"
"Sister Bai asked Erchen to go to the library to find a book called "Beixuan Bi Tan", after Erchen went, the pavilion keeper told Erchen that this book is the only book in the cabinet, and it can only be copied, not borrowed.
Erchen wanted his mother to talk to the gentleman of the Hanlin Academy, and let them help copy a copy. ”
The gentlemen of the Hanlin Academy are all Confucianism and Taoism, and copying a book is a matter of a glance for them, and they don't even need the time to burn half a stick of incense.
If the palace maids were to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy, it would not only be easy to make mistakes, but also extremely slow.
She forgot about the last time about the medicinal herbs.
This time in "Beixuan Pen Talk", she didn't want to make a mistake.
"Although this matter is small, it involves officials in the court, and it is difficult for the mother to come forward."
Speaking of this, Concubine Duan's words changed: "If you go to the Hanlin Academy by yourself, you will say that it is your brother's borrowed book, and Mr. will help you copy it." ”
"Thank you, mother, mother, the best!"
Liu Yunmeng's smile was like a flower, and his voice was pleasant.
"Take advantage of the leisure, go back and memorize a few poems, and you won't have nothing to say at tomorrow's banquet."
Liu Yunmeng's smile disappeared instantly, and he let out an "oh".
"Go ahead."
"The retainers retired."
In order not to embarrass the mother concubine when flying flowers.
Her Royal Highness the princess obediently recited the poems.
............
Following.
On the occasion of the whitening of the East.
Ren Pingsheng wore a second-grade scarlet robe printed with a lion, standing outside the noon gate, waiting quietly.
Raise your eyes and look up, you can see that there are thirteen rooms in the east and west city platforms, row up from both sides of the gatehouse to the south, the shape is like a goose's wing, and there is a heavy eaves top pavilion at the north and south ends.
The gate in the middle is like three mountains embracing, and the five peaks are protruding, and the momentum is majestic.
"The Great Zhou Palace is indeed majestic."
Ren Pingsheng sighed from the bottom of his heart.
After standing for a while, I couldn't control my thoughts.
"The emperor has every opportunity, he can't spare time to see me, and the queen who receives me is Chang An's biological mother, that is to say, after entering the palace, as long as you beware of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, you don't have to care too much about the palace maids and eunuchs."
"Having said that, I don't know if Da Zhou has a rule that husbands and wives can't meet before they get married, and if they can meet my future lady at the banquet......"
"There's nothing to say, sooner or later, it's a friend of Bao, I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid of meeting my sister-in-law at the banquet, if she comes to say - nephew, why are you here? Didn't I explode on the spot? ”
That's it.
Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but shudder.
Right now.
Suddenly music sounded all around.
Immediately afterwards, an official of the Ministry of Rites walked up, saluted and said:
"Invite the prince into the palace."
