576 Son-in-law
In addition to the Queen Mother, the rest of the concubines are also close to Ling Xiaorou, especially the concubines who have princesses around them, and they even opened their mouths and closed their mouths to ask Ling Xiaorou's Xiu Jin and Xiu Yi, and learned that Xiu Jin and Xiu Yi were also in the Empress Dowager's palace, coaxed by the Empress Dowager to play, and even asked Ling Xiaorou to bring them with her next time she came over, and it just so happened that the little princesses also lacked playmates, and the young brothers, brothers and sisters should also be more intimate and close.
The Queen Mother hung her head and drank tea, with a sneer on her lips, what kind of idea did these concubines really not know? Didn't you see that King Ning Yuan was gaining power and wanted to find a good in-law for his own daughter?
Not to mention that those princesses are older than Xiu Jin Xiuyi, even if they are not worthy of the son of Ning Yuan's Wang family in terms of appearance, she saw it last time she came to the capital, the little doll carved like pink and jade, but not anyone's daughter is worthy of it, I don't know how many people in the capital are staring at the two sons of Ning Yuan's Wang family, but it seems that except for her daughter, who is worthy of the son of Ning Yuan Wang?
Don't look at it as just the son of the Wang family with a foreign surname, but he is more sought-after than the unfavored prince, and those who are within three or five years old in age are already staring at it, especially King Ningyuan once vowed not to accept concubines, with such a father, the son will not be bad, and the daughter will be blessed to marry in the past.
Don't look at their daughters are princesses, but the princesses are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the princesses without the support of the emperor are actually not as comfortable as the daughters of the courtiers.
Even if the colt doesn't treat the princess on the surface, there are many people who really don't like it and can't see each other for a year and a half.
And the princesses of these concubines don't have to marry out to help their brothers, rather than find someone who is related to interests, it is better to find a reliable one, not to mention that the Ningyuan Palace's power and power, wealth and wealth, and the son is good-looking, not only the concubines look good, but many families in Beijing have begun to focus on it.
In contrast, although King Ningyuan's daughter is also good-looking, in view of the reputation of the King of Ningyuan's family for generations, there are not so many people who want to marry an ancestor and come back to provide for them.
It is said that the high-door marriage, the low-door marriage, and the daughter-in-law all want to marry a good one, not to mention the rumors that the former emperor wanted to order the young lady of the Ningyuan royal family to the current emperor, and the current emperor has been raised by the king of Ningyuan for so long, and this thing is about to be completed, and no one wants to find this uncomfortable, and then make the emperor unhappy, you can just find a small shoe to wear.
Of course, one of the two princesses of the Queen Mother is three years older than Xiu Jin Xiuyi, and the other is less than a year old.
As for saying that other people's daughters are not worthy of these two beautiful dolls, her daughter must be worthy? No matter what is in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, her two daughters are the most beautiful children in the world, not to mention that she is now the Queen Mother, the identity of the daughters is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, if her daughters are not worthy of cultivation, then there is no one in the world who can match them.
The Queen Mother thought about her friendship with Ling Xiaorou, so she thought that she would have the opportunity to mention this matter in private, anyway, she had always known that Ling Xiaorou could be the master of more than half of the affairs of the palace, not to mention choosing a wife for her son, most of them were made by the mother.
Ling Xiaorou is not stupid, and she can guess their purpose when she is obedient and listening, but how old is her son to be remembered? Ling Xiaorou has always opposed arranged marriages, that is, He Louyuan and He Louyu are both daughters-in-law of her choice, how can she be willing to sell her two sons early?
What's more, even if she marries a daughter-in-law, she doesn't want to marry Li Xun's daughter, with such a father and a group of mothers who only know how to fight, can the daughters they give birth to be good stubble? Don't marry and know that you are looking for trouble when you go home, so she is not at ease.
But think about it, has my son grown up to the age where he needs to see his daughter-in-law? Ling Xiaorou was very helpless to find that the palace was really not a good place to stay, in the past, it was because Li Xun was jealous and hated by a group of women, and now she is treated as a fragrant bait, and she will still stay honestly in the Queen Mother's palace if she has nothing to do in the future, but if she doesn't participate with them, there is no Li Xun to fight for, and they want to fight for her son again? Not to mention the door, there are no windows.
A group of women came up as they spoke, and they all felt that their son-in-law was being targeted by others again, and they were fighting one by one, so they almost pulled Ling Xiaorou to make her make a statement.
Ling Xiaorou got up and smiled faintly at the concubines, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the emperor to go down to the court, and the concubines will go to the imperial dining room to take a look at the chicken soup stewed for the emperor." ”
The concubines didn't want to pull her to sit down again, thinking about the long future, they got up to see each other off, but they were stopped by Ling Xiaorou until Ling Xiaorou's back disappeared, and the concubines looked at each other, and then there were a few heavy cold snorts.
I was thinking in my heart: Who doesn't know who after fighting for many years, I was fighting for a man back then, and now I want to fight for a son-in-law? Don't look at your daughter's appearance, as ugly as her mother, is she worthy of the son of the Ningyuan royal family?
Ling Xiaorou only let out a sigh when she left the Queen Mother's Palace, and looked back at the palace that was obviously very peaceful, but in her eyes it was like a flood and a beast, and swore that she would never bring her child over, such a cute child really brought over, but she couldn't be frightened by this group of strange aunts?
When Ling Xiaorou came over, Ming Cheng and He Louyuan were eating obediently, they were so busy that they forgot to eat, and no one dared to nag in their ears, but now it is different, Ling Xiaorou is in a hurry, but she dares to pull their ears and drag them on the table, so as not to feel comfortable, they are very active about eating.
Moreover, it doesn't take long to eat, and there is no need to listen to the old hermit sighing and crying out for hunger after eating.
The old hermit was happy that he could eat on time, and although he was not hungry before, he was not happy to eat alone. How good it is that everyone sits at the table together, so that he will not be told that he will eat all the good things.
can look at the old hermit who is holding a piece of meat in one hand and stuffing it into his mouth, although the palace maid and eunuch next to him don't look like words, but the emperor and the prince didn't speak, and they didn't dare to say much, they just thought: Such an old man who doesn't even have the rules to eat is really so knowledgeable? Let King Ning Yuan and the emperor be very respectful in front of him?
Ling Xiaorou turned a blind eye to the old hermit's eating, as if it was not the person who was full of rules before, and who kept food and sleep silent.
Sitting next to He Louyuan, looking at this large table of all kinds of snacks and dishes, there are no less than ten kinds of porridge alone, this is just breakfast, lunch will be more exquisite.
Moreover, Dayan Kingdom is not like the palace rules and emperors she knew in her previous life, and the dinner is never less, although it is not as exquisite as lunch, it is much better than breakfast.
In this way, there are enough dishes for dozens of people to eat, but only a few people eat them, and the rest really feel that it is a waste of money, but this is the usual system in the palace, and Ling Xiaorou can't say anything. What's more, compared to Li Xun, who loves the ministers for a reason, Mingcheng is already very low-key.
Ling Xiaorou cleared her throat, and let the master and apprentice who were discussing state affairs while eating turn their heads instantly, He Louyuan naturally sandwiched a piece of Ling Xiaorou's favorite hibiscus shrimp balls and put them in Ling Xiaorou's bowl, Ming Cheng looked at it, and the palace maid obediently sandwiched the pearl meatballs and sent them to Ling Xiaorou's bowl.
Ling Xiaorou ate beautifully, her eyes swept lightly to He Louyuan and Mingcheng, and the master and apprentice buried their heads in eating, Ling Xiaorou was very satisfied.
After eating, there was nothing Ling Xiaorou doing here, looking at the plates of dishes and not moving much, it was a pity, but the emperor didn't speak, and others didn't dare to eat these dishes, so in the end they had to pour it out.
Don't look at Ling Xiaorou who has never been poor, but she has been instilled by her parents since she was a child with the preciousness and sacredness of food, and she is still very unaccustomed to waste, just like when she was in Ningyuan Palace, except for special circumstances, three meals a day are enough to eat, and there is nothing left in those dishes, if you have something you particularly want to eat, or want to eat more, the amount of each dish should be smaller.
Seeing that dozens of dishes were going to be thrown away, she screamed in her heart that it was a pity, she didn't see Li Xun in the past, but for a long time in the future, she would have to watch Mingcheng eat a little and throw away more than half, and always felt that it was not a good habit to let children develop waste.
Ling Xiaorou had an idea, "Your Majesty, are these going to be poured out?" ”
Since Ming Cheng became the emperor, he has been busy with state affairs every day, and his energy is a little insufficient at a young age, where will he pay attention to whether the dishes are thrown out, if it weren't for Ling Xiaorou's help in the imperial dining room for so long, I am afraid he would not have thought of it. Ming Cheng paused when he heard this, and asked the eunuch beside him: "Do you want to fall out?" ”
The eunuch hurriedly said: "It is customary. ”
Mingcheng sighed faintly, "It's a pity, you can eat it separately!" ”
When the eunuch heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him, and the palace maids and eunuchs next to him also knelt down. Not to mention that the emperor eats the best things, even the emperor's appreciation of food is also a great favor, and it is a good thing that no matter how many people ask for it.
In the past, after every meal, Li Xun would pick a few dishes for people to reward to the palaces or ministers to show the emperor's favor, but the little emperor was still young and didn't think about this, but now Princess Ningyuan said a word, and the emperor rewarded them with this table of breakfast, but they didn't dare to think about it, it was really like a big pie falling from the sky.
Ling Xiaorou was satisfied, no matter who rewarded her, in short, there was no waste, who ate it was not eaten.
With breakfast, it was useless for Ling Xiaorou to say it at lunch, so Mingcheng ordered to pick a few dishes and send people to reward them, and the rest were rewarded to the eunuchs.
Thinking that the leftover dishes that the emperor would eat in the future were almost arranged in this way, the eunuchs and palace maids began to look forward to the next meal that was more in line with their hearts.
As for saying that Li Xun would give the rest of the dishes to the palace concubines in the past, Mingcheng didn't want to do that, not to mention that those palace concubines were his elders, just said that he was not familiar with them, and he had no intention of getting acquainted, so it was better not to provoke them.
