Chapter 190: The Emperor's Backyard
The snow and ice faded, only a thin layer of snow remained on the ground, and the bells of the Buddhist temple fluttered faintly, and it was already twilight, and on the edge of the pond in the pavilion, a young girl sat there with her long legs bent, broke the cake and threw it into the pond.
Most of the ice on the surface of the pond has not yet melted, there is only one small round hole after another, countless koi fish around the round hole on the ice surface, scrambling to poke their heads out, Namu Zhong took out the ability to bend the bow and shoot hunting on the grassland, and threw the crumbs of the big cake covered by the fingernails into the round holes, and she was always aiming at a target without interest, she aimed at the farther and narrower one, and then threw it accurately, the carp were like stupid sheep, and it took a while to react, and swam to that place, like a boiling soup pot under the iceβ¦β¦ The girl's giggling sound was heard far away......
Laughing and laughing, she suddenly lost interest again, her smile faded, and she casually tossed the cake aside.
"Is the emperor still hunting in Luliang Mountain?" She summoned her own attendant palace people, in addition to the dowry she brought, half of the people around her were given by the queen, she didn't reject it much, compared to the women who were used to the wild on the grassland, of course, the people who grew up in the deep palace in the Central Plains had to use more, Grandma said, married over, you have to abide by the rules of the Qi country, in the Central Plains this is called "husband for the sky", her mother was originally a Han from the Central Plains, was snatched by Abba from the Zhou State, very favored, compared to Abba's other wives and concubines have their own nobility, she taught Namu Zhong how to obey the rules since childhood, although Namu Zhong doesn't like to listen to it, but he barely remembers some of it.
But after arriving, she found that there were more rules in this country than she imagined, but fortunately, it was uncomfortable for a few days, and the rules were not so important at other times, so she could now sit and toss these fish raised in the palace without sitting down......
The palace people looked left and right, stepped forward and smiled bitterly: "This ...... Where can slaves and maids know? Your Majesty's itinerary is probably not clear to the queen, this ...... It's a crime of disrespect to discuss it rashly......"
"Alas, a few great beauties who have left behind are here, but they want to go hunting and training, what do you think the emperor thinks?"
Several palace people bowed their heads and bowed their waists, not daring to answer.
Namu Zhong pouted, his toes crushed to the ground, as if he was going to trample the incomprehensible pig's trotters under his feet and ravage him fiercely!
Namu Zhong is a girl with a very clear goal, as long as she believes in something, she will definitely complete it.
Uncle and Abba let her get the emperor's favor, isn't it simple?
With her beauty, she didn't believe that man could dislike her!
Namu Zhong was born tall, with fair and clear skin, a beautiful nose, bright facial features with Hu Ren, and the gentleness of a Han woman.
But...... If you haven't seen it before, what do you like?!
She has been in the palace for more than three months, let alone the emperor, she has not even seen the shadow of the emperor!
Is it really like the legend, the emperor favors the queen alone, treats her as an eyeball, and doesn't even bother to look at other women?
Thinking of this, she was a little depressed, and when she was depressed, she wanted to say goodbye to the queen, "I heard that the queen mother has been very busy these days, what are you doing?" β
"The Queen Mother summoned a group of concubines in Changxin Palace, as well as the ladies of the Decree...... Looking at each other's noble girls...... It seems to be a concubine, right? β
"What does this have to do with the Queen?"
"The queen is the daughter-in-law of the queen mother, and when the queen mother comes out to walk around, the queen naturally has to follow her to take care of her."
"Hey, concubine?" Namu Zhong Hui's eyes rolled slightly, "Isn't it upset that the queen is watching from above?" β
This is obviously the kind of person who is happy when she sees the queen unhappy, lest the world be chaotic.
The palace people lowered their heads like quails.
We didn't hear anything, we didn't dare to say it, we didn't dare to ask......
"I'm also the daughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, I'll go to Changxin Palace to see the hot ...... Uh, look, it's always okay, right? β
The palace people think that you don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, do you dare to be more obvious? But he didn't dare to say it, so he forced a smile and said: "Niangniang is willing to go to the Queen Mother to do her filial piety, of course it is very good, the Queen Mother loves to be lively." β
"Okay, lead the way, go to Changxin Palace!" At the thought of having a good show, Namu Zhong was very happy, with his hands behind his back, striding meteors, his neck raised high, like a proud white goose!
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, the formation of Changxin Palace was not a few points worse than that of the previous dynasty, the hall was full of pearls, and the entire Xunmen family of Jinyang came together, Namu Zhong sighed and admired, and saluted in front of the Queen Mother, and then found a position next to Chen Yue'er and sat down, and a few Yipin ordered to sit next to the Queen Mother, glanced at this side with a smile, and praised:
"Oh, Your Majesty is really blessed, look at these dolls, all of them stand out, they are all beautiful women!"
Empress Dowager Hu was very comforted by the flattery, and her eyes glanced at the queen over there, "There...... The emperor has never paid much attention to these, and I didn't stuff this beauty around him, and I didn't know where he was going, I had a headache! Hurry up and find him a few more gentle and virtuous women, the emperor has been on the throne for so long, and he has not yet had a son and a half daughter, if I am not in a hurry, the courtiers below should also be in a hurry! β
"Well, that's ...... I heard that His Majesty is diligent in government, and it is rare to sleep in the harem for a few days a month, and we have this kind of prosperity in Daqi now, all thanks to Your Majesty, but this state affairs are important, and the heirs are also very important. β
Another old lady interjected: "Actually, according to the old man, such a look is secondary, first of all, it must be gentle and considerate, and then it is easy to give birth to...... Even if you have been married, it is okay......"
Women chatted together, and that's what they tossed and turned, there was no nutrition at all, Namu Zhong quickly got bored listening, and looked back at the queen, Wan'er was dressed in plain clothes, and she was like the stars holding the moon next to the queen mother, with a decent smile on her face, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this smile was quite reluctant...... The husband and wife have only been in the same room a few times in total, and where can they have children so quickly?
was counted down by her mother-in-law in front of so many noble ladies, even if she was as good-tempered as she was, she couldn't help it, Gao Wei withdrew quickly, the front court was handed over to the courtiers, and the backyard was handed over to her, and the two fires in the front and back had nothing to do with him......
For the first time, she began to complain about her husband in her heart, why did she leave at this time, and she couldn't find someone to support her......
Namu Zhong grabbed a frozen pear and took a bite, rubbed Chen Yue'er beside him, and asked, "How many are the Queen Mother's photos?" β
Chen Yue'er raised her head blankly at this time, looked around, bit her lower lip, and whispered: "I didn't say it, but I saw that the Queen Mother had almost chosen ......."
"Oh? I'll see who they are! Namu Zhong looked left and right, very interested.
"Well...... it's the one behind the Queen Mother, do you see? It was the niece of the Queen Mother's family, sixteen years old...... Also, there is the fifth table opposite, the one sitting with Princess Baoqing, the daughter of Tang Yong, the secretary of the military department, and I heard that she is also the niece of Duan Dazai. Yue'er spit out her pink tongue, "Just now the Lady of the Plains King personally led the ...... It's just fifteen years old this year......"
Namu Zhong first looked at the girl behind the Queen Mother, Sven, weak and can't help the wind, born very charming, but it looks too restrained, kneeling behind her aunt and not daring to say a word, other people's eyes stop on her for a while, she blushes, lowers her head and doesn't want to say anything, she can't wait to turn into a ball of air, the more she has no sense of existence, the better, but she is the niece of the Queen Mother, how can she get less attention? Some old ladies made fun of her and made some good-natured jokes about her, so the pink spread downwards and soon to the base of the neck...... Namu Zhong has never seen such a shy woman...... After a pause, he shifted his gaze to the other side.
is another eye-catching woman, how charming she looks may be, with a white and tender apple face, big eyes, and small and delicate facial features, she feels very comfortable, pulling the emperor's little sister, and the two of them whispered......
"Yuanyuan, you eat this, this pig's trotters are soft, I know you love to eat, so I specially left it for you, you see that I am good enough for you......"
The cute little girl with an apple face picked up a piece of stewed soft pig's trotters and put it on the plate in front of Baoqing, Baoqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and secretly glanced at the sister-in-law above, Wan'er's eyes were scanning over, faintly stern, so her white claws stretched out half, and it quietly turned into a push-away action, puffing up Bai Shengsheng's little bun face, and said sternly:
"Don't, my sister-in-law said, you can't eat this kind of thing, you will gain weight if you eat too much, and you won't be able to marry if you get fat!"
The apple-faced girl ignored Baoqing's grief-stricken eyes, and happily put the last piece of pig's trotter on her plate, "Na, this is what you said you don't want first, you can't complain about me!" β
"Hmph, you eat, I know that you are a villain who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, I misjudged you, and I will never play with you again!" Baoqing twisted her head to the side, and the Tang girl was a little unhappy and stabbed her, "Why did I become a villain who crossed the river and demolished the bridge?" β
"Isn't it? I shouldn't have been obsessed with you to play, but now that you are going to be my sister-in-law, it will not be good for me to cross the river and tear down the bridge! I said why were you so good to me for no reason before......" Baoqing looked remorseful: "I would have known that you coveted my brother's beauty, and I would have ...... I'll just ......"
The girl of the Tang family put her hooves back on her plate, pinched her nose and shook it from side to side, "...... You're ...... You're ...... How about you? I'll be your sister-in-law in the future, why don't you call your sister-in-law a good ......"
When the girl of the Tang family was proud, she was hit on the buttocks, and the eyes of the mother next to her seemed to be burning with flames, "How can you say such a thing from a girl's family...... Give me a little more reserved......! β
