Chapter 237: Be cautious in wide clothes
For the children of the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the two major events in life are nothing more than the marriage of their sons and heirs, although there are many unmarried people in their twenties due to various reasons, but the vast majority of them are as early as thirteen or fourteen years old, and the elders in the family have to worry about teaching the etiquette of the Duke of Zhou, not to mention the royal family that has always paid attention to early marriage and early childbearing, He Ye is already fourteen years old and has not officially accepted this kind of teaching without a concubine, and he is already considered an outlier.
This is, of course, because of the early death of Dezong's father, and the deliberate negligence of the Queen Mother's biological mother.
Although King Ye himself didn't care about such trivial matters, he had a caring brother who intended to pass on the throne, and under He Yan's several overt and secret reminders, the Queen Mother finally began to carry out this matter unwillingly.
Historically, the education of the children of the royal family is generally supervised by the elders, but the real "executed" teaching is the palace people, and may even be the harem concubines, such as when the Western Jin Dynasty Emperor Hui Emperor Sima Zhen was the prince, his father Sima Yan arranged for the harem talent Xie Jiu to teach, Xie Jiu even became pregnant, and then gave birth to a son in other palaces, many years later, Sima Zhen saw a child in his parents' palace, Emperor Wu of Jin told him that it was his son, Sima Zhen was surprised.
However, with the gradual absurdity of the etiquette system, such absurd things of "concubines and children" have been banned by the royal family, and adult palace people are generally selected to teach by example, and if they are favored by the prince, the palace people may be officially accepted as concubines.
Of course, since the Queen Mother has the heart to place her henchmen by King Jin's side, Chunying's future has nothing to do with whether King Jin is affectionate or not.
On this day, he was ordered to go to the Zichen Hall to complete the "education" of the King of Jin, of course, after a fragrant soup bath, careful makeup, light and thin shirts, snow-colored skin looming, the high line of the skirt plump jade/milk half dewed, knocking the queen mother, curling away, behind him because of the chess gap and the elixir that missed the opportunity to reddened his eyes red, standing in the corridor for a long time, before snorting coldly.
The King of Jin here, is the queen mother first sent eunuchs to lead to a special palace for the prince to "be taught", here the decoration is different from those magnificent palaces, quite quiet, push open the half-covered palace door, only to see all sides are full of gorgeous murals, there is this intuitive, and the incense burner overflows with a thick atmosphere that makes people feel impetuous, and the next act does not need the eunuch to explain again.
Not to mention that with the great name of the King of Jin, although the eunuch acted on orders, he was really nervous and didn't dare to talk at all.
Only stubbornly led the King of Jin to the big bed and sat down, and waited until the spring warbler stepped forward to give a salute, the eunuch who was supposed to serve on the side retreated involuntarily, and when the door was closed, he quickly saw that the spring warbler seemed to have stepped forward to dress the king of Jin, and the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief - others are just that, I heard that the king of Jin usually doesn't even like to have a meal on the side, let alone have a room...... It's better to avoid it.
Although it is not late at night, it is time to hold the lamp.
However, as the princess to read the eleven Niang did not stay in the house with the rest of the attendants, the Queen Mother has an edict, actually let the Eleven Niang accompany her to appreciate the new works of the painters, every spring, many of the palace screen paintings have to be replaced, this year since there is Eleven Niang on the side, the Queen Mother is more interested in picking the best painting to decorate.
In addition to Eleven Niang, Xie Fei and Xie Ying were also nearby, the former was seeing the flattery of the stitches, but the latter was staring blankly at the paintings opened by the palace people, and only when he saw the poems that were accidentally annotated on the scroll, there was a little bit of brilliance in his eyes.
The Queen Mother seems to have been accustomed to Xie Ying's posture, and she has not been picky and corrected, but compared to Xie Fei, who is exhausted and fiercely brushes her sense of existence, the Queen Mother pays more attention to Xie Ying, and even when Eleven Niang praises a landscape freehand, the Queen Mother is quite interested in explaining Xie Ying's poems.
This made Xie Fei secretly grit his teeth, almost revealing his unwilling emotions.
Eleven Niang saw it in her eyes, and only turned a blind eye.
Of course, she kept an opinion that the spring warbler, who was almost an inch away from the queen mother's side, was not seen at this time, guessing that she was afraid that she had been placed in the place where the king of Jin was, and she couldn't help but muttered a little in her heart, could it be that the reminder was too vague that day, and the king of Jin didn't understand the meaning? After weighing the pros and cons, I felt that it was too risky to attack the spring warbler, so it was so calm.
No matter what the reason, the follow-up is not something she can interfere with, but Eleven Niang is more inclined to the latter, with the caution of King Jin, so as not to think that her words have no point, but since the party chooses to tolerate Chunying as her eyes and ears in order to avoid risks, Eleven Niang, who is still just an idler, will naturally not have much trouble.
Although Chunying is dangerous, but after all, she is a well-known confidant of the Queen Mother, and in the current situation, it is impossible for her to carry out the assassination, at most it is just supervision, and if it is really a dangerous moment when you have to make a desperate bet, it is impossible for the King of Jin to be held hostage by a palace maid, as long as the King of Jin understands that Chunying's wisdom is deep, and he will not be detected by it, and he is safe at the moment.
At most, it can't be used by King Jin in turn.
However, it was when there was a harmonious atmosphere that something happened suddenly.
In the hall, a frightened eunuch rushed in, almost falling directly to the ground, not caring about the idle people in the hall, etc., and even Dou Fu'an, who saw the queen mother's face change and scolded loudly, the eunuch who was prostrate on the ground trembled with a thin sharp voice, and even the sound of two rows of teeth colliding was clearly audible.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Spring Oriole is covered, the Spring Oriole is ......"
The out-of-body eunuch could not utter a complete sentence.
The elixir was brightened in his eyes, and he couldn't help but eagerly ask: "How is the spring warbler?" ”
"The spring warbler was ...... by the king of Jin Kill! ”
I heard that the spring warbler died, and even the elixir was not as good as the schadenfreude, and the eleventh mother lowered her eyes quickly, only thinking that she was an ornament.
The Queen Mother didn't let them avoid it, and of course they couldn't quit without quitting.
Of course, the Queen Mother is iron-faced, although there is no shortage of manpower around her now, there are not many people who are really satisfied, and she was a little reluctant to place the Spring Oriole next to He Ye, not to mention that He Ye was killed by He Ye without playing a role, how could the Queen Mother be angry, but about the "use" of the Spring Ying, it was not good to leak it in front of several ladies of the family at this time, so the Queen Mother could only hold back her anger with her fingers, and first instructed Dou Fu'an: "The King of Jin is here to see." ”
And after a moment of silence, Xie Ying, who finally got four good poems, was about to pick up the pen to write her masterpiece on the picture scroll, and was shocked by the bad news of the dead man, and was stunned, and even didn't notice the ink dripping on the scroll, until Xie Fei, who had nothing to do with herself, reminded: "Oh, Ah Mei has stained the scroll." Xie Ying pursed her lips and was about to cry.
The Queen Mother glanced at Xie Fei, looking very dissatisfied, but comforted Xie Ying softly, and explained to Eleven Niang to lead the Xie sisters back to the house like nothing else.
The three girls with their own thoughts didn't have time to walk out of the Hanxiang Palace, and saw that Dou Fu'an, who had just trotted out, had turned back, and behind him, the arrogant man, who was not the King of Jin? And in front of the eunuch, the one with his hands full of anxiety was He Yan, the son of heaven.
With this here, presumably Chunying's death can only be gently revealed.
It turned out that after He Ye killed someone, he left without saying a word, and the eunuch outside the waiting hall was stunned for a while, still wondering how long it would be, less than a moment, and it would be over? After hesitating and probing in, he saw the spring warbler lying on the bed, and the eunuch was frightened to look inside, and at a glance he saw the hideous face of the woman who was not blind, and the open wound on the neck was still gurgling blood, but the person was obviously hopeless.
And He Ye went back to Zichen Palace, and directly reported to the Son of Heaven that he had just killed a bad, and He Yan was also shocked, so he didn't wait for Dou Fu'an to pass on, and personally led He Ye to Hanxiang Hall to explain.
There were no outsiders around, and the Queen Mother, who had lost a confidant, naturally found it difficult to suppress her anger, and asked He Ye with a blue face why he committed the murder, but the "explanation" she got was loud and full of reasons.
"As soon as the entered the palace, she first knelt down and saluted, and I also recognized her as the maid beside my mother, thinking that she was ordered to pass the word, but as soon as she stepped forward, she picked up my clothes without saying a word! Ignoring my glare, the whole body stepped forward, trying his best to seduce, and even wanted to strip off the king, it was simply mad, how could I allow such a cheap maid, as soon as I got annoyed, I would kill her on the spot! ”
Before the Queen Mother could continue to question, He Yan opened his mouth to decompose for his younger brother: "Mother, it's all because the eunuch didn't know about his brother in advance, so he caused such a misunderstanding." ”
The Queen Mother choked on her chest in one breath and almost didn't come over.
