Chapter XXIII
"Where has Yuguan been going these days?"
After curling green smoke, a graceful beauty leaned on the couch, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the queen mother who had just woken up from a nap and her eyes were still a little worried.
I saw that she was wearing a light crown of gold silk ruby flowers, and a dark coat with a rich and noble group pattern, but her eyebrows became more and more white and distinct. At this moment, he seemed to have just woken up, and he was still a little confused, but he blurted out Cheng Yuguan's whereabouts.
These days, the queen and Cheng Yuguan are not deliberately enthusiastic and unusually close, and neither of them is that kind of sticky temperament.
However, if there is no outside personnel to disturb the two meals, the queen will definitely take Cheng Yuguan to dine together, during which she will talk about the inconveniences in the palace, or talk about the early years, Huo's words and interesting things, and unconsciously, the distance between the two is gradually pulled in.
Especially after the morning food, when dealing with palace affairs in Fengyi Palace, the queen will also let Cheng Yu be kept by her side. One is to teach by word and deed, some of the truths in these palace affairs will be used by Cheng Yuguan when he becomes a family in the future, and the other is to let Cheng Yuguan officially appear in the eyes of everyone in the palace.
Where there are people, there is strife.
The queen does this, without repeated orders, and without deliberate introductions, all the palace ladies and officials in the palace know that there is a young lady from a family in the Fengyi Palace, who is very valued by the queen, and her actions must be taken with her. They naturally have a little bit of weight and value for Cheng Yuguan.
Cheng Yuguan and his mother's close friend back then also got along very comfortably.
There is neither excessive enthusiasm, nor superfluous greetings and superficial things, relying on the identity of elders to teach and admonish, but real, imperceptible teaching, expressing their love.
After all, being in the position of the queen, she is busy with palace affairs every day, and she has to take her with her, every time Cheng Yuguan is puzzled and frowned, the queen will explain one or two in time, so that she can understand.
If he does this, if he says that he has no intentions and love, Cheng Yuguan himself will not believe it.
After three or five days, Cheng Yuguan's good impression of the queen in his heart rose rapidly.
The queen's attitude towards her made her feel the mature charm of not being in a hurry, this kind of appearance that does not need to be declared, but really teaches the younger generation to be a backer, so that Cheng Yuguan is in the palace but his heart is steady.
Cheng Yu cared and thought, no wonder he heard the patriarch say that the queen was not favored when she first entered the palace, but after many years of the emperor, she became more and more respected and loved by His Majesty, so it was. If she is a man, she must also find a woman who has been quiet for such a good time.
Staying at ease in the queen's palace, Cheng Yuguan no longer stayed in Fengyi Palace cautiously and did not dare to move around, but went to Ninghui Hall again after the queen's afternoon nap today.
This time, the queen woke up and didn't see Cheng Yuguan, so she knew that she was going out again.
She was happy in her heart, indicating that Cheng Yu was comfortable staying in Fengyi Palace, otherwise, she was afraid that she would not dare to move around at will in the palace.
Female official Mei Qing is the queen's personal palace maid, at this time she handed over a cup of tea to the queen to clear her mouth, with a smile on her lips, and said softly,
"Miss Yuguan will go out these days, and she will go to Ninghui Palace. I think it was the way that His Royal Highness led for Miss Yuguan at the beginning, otherwise the palace was heavy, and Miss Yuguan knew that it was clean. ”
When the queen heard this, she also had a smile on her face.
When no one is around, the queen will not always hold the shelf of the Feng Palace, but rest on the couch very leisurely.
"Yuguan's temperament is exactly the same as my sister Huo, she doesn't like to be restrained, and she is even more impatient to break lawsuits and deal with sundries. In the past few days, she has been very bored in front of me, so it is good to go out for a walk. ”
Mei Qing disagreed, looked at the queen and said, "The slave maid looks at Miss Yuguan and has a lot of experience in palace affairs. In the past few days, you have been dealing with palace affairs in front of you, and she has written and painted on the bookcase by herself. The slave maid saw that what Miss Yuguan wrote, it was all a lawsuit of the Six Palaces Bureau, which seemed to be quite orderly and very spiritual. ”
When the queen heard this, she nodded at the female officer in front of her, "You, you have been with me for so many years, and you really know what I like to hear." ”
Loving the house and Wu, Mei Qing naturally spoke according to the queen's wishes.
"However, Yuguan is indeed transparent, stronger than me and her mother when we were younger."
The queen praised Cheng Yuguan so much, but Mei Qing didn't dare to speak. But in her heart, the importance of Cheng Yuguan has gone to the next level.
"The slave sent Mei Ling to follow Miss Yuguan, Mei Ling is a clever person, with her to follow, you can rest assured."
Mei Qing said.
The queen listened, nodded, leaned on the couch and gently closed her eyes, enjoying the rare peace of the afternoon.
…
In the middle of the Jiacheng Yongdao, Mei Ling, who was praised by Mei Qingzan as clever, was blocking Cheng Yuguan intentionally or unintentionally at the moment, saluting the woman on the shoulder in front of her.
"I've seen Lord Fucheng."
Cheng Yuguan naturally followed suit.
These days, she has only learned to recognize the palace uniform, and there are more people she still can't match.
The girl in front of her sat lazily on her shoulder, the bright yellow cushion and the gentle gauze curtain hung down, lining the laziness with a sense of condescension.
Behind the girl, there are three girls who are also dressed up, and judging by their appearance, they should be the daughters of a family who are good friends with the lord of Fucheng.
"Are you dumb?"
The girl questioned arrogantly.
When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he knew that he couldn't fool himself by pretending to be stupid, so he bypassed Mei Ling and walked to the girl and saluted respectfully again, "Courtier, Cheng Yuguan, I have seen the lord of Fucheng." ”
"It turns out that you are Cheng Yuguan."
The lord of Fucheng looked down at Cheng Yuguan from his shoulder.
Behind her, a girl also flashed out at this time, and when she came to Cheng Yuguan, she was even more slurking.
"We also said that it was He Fang sacred, who followed the queen mother every day to get in the way, it turned out to be you."
When the girls deliberately make things difficult, their mouths are very poisonous.
Just like now, this woman's tone and contempt made Mei Ling can't help but puff out her eyes.
"Miss Qi, you are the daughter of the Duke of Guo, and Miss Yuguan is also the daughter of the Marquis, is it too much for you to talk like this. Moreover, Miss Yuguan is also the niece of the queen's mother, please be respectful. ”
When this young lady surnamed Qi heard this, she pursed her lips and said no more, but on her shoulders, the county lord of Fucheng was not so easy to deal with.
"Who are you scaring about? The queen didn't give Cheng Yuguan a name, she was just a country girl, why, after only a few days in Beijing, she regarded herself as a daughter? ”
The words of the lord of Fucheng County are not polite, and there is no reason.
As you can imagine from Yuguan, there are only a few people who know her origin and can't get along with her. The few girls in front of her had no grievances or hatred with her, so they came out of thin air, and there must have been something behind her that she didn't know.
Cheng Yuguan has always been relatively silent about irrelevant people and others, but at this moment, she no longer lowered her head, and stood up straight to look at the little county lord on her shoulder.
"Yuguan has just arrived, I don't know where I offended the county lord and a few people, please give me advice. Otherwise, if you don't intend to do it again in the future, wouldn't you live up to the teachings that the Lord of Fucheng specially came to call? ”
"Who got you up? There are no rules, pink wall, teach her to me! ”
As soon as the Lord of Fucheng finished speaking, a stout girl appeared from behind her shoulder and was about to step forward.
Mei Ling wanted to stand in front of Cheng Yuguan, but was blocked by the two nobles of the family who had already prepared on the side, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Think twice! Miss Yuguan is favored by her mother, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha..."
The county lord of Fucheng was unmoved, and it was obvious that Cheng Yuguan must be taught a lesson this time.
Seeing this, Mei Ling immediately ran back.
She knows that there are big rules in the palace, and the words of the superior are the rules. She and Miss Yuguan had no power to fight back in front of the Fucheng County Lord, who had made up his mind to find fault, and at the moment, he could only ask the queen mother to come forward.
Mei Ling ran away, but no one chased her.
In the final analysis, they just want to teach Cheng Yuguan a lesson, and they won't kill her.
And there are many of them, the so-called outnumbered and unaccountable people, even if the queen mother arrives for a while, their goal has been achieved, and Cheng Yuguan is punished a little. Could it be that such a small thing, the queen mother can still be recovered?
Cheng Yuguan sighed in his heart when he saw the stout girl approaching, as long as he left Chengjia Village, he would not be able to clean anywhere.
She just wants to hide in the palace for a few days, and when the patriarch comes to the capital and presides over the succession with the queen mother, she will be shackled and relaxed.
Unexpectedly, her idea of harmlessness to humans and animals could not be realized.
You don't go to trouble others, but trouble comes to you for no reason.
Cheng Yuguan is a person who will not compromise on everything.
She won't be in Chenghou Mansion, and she won't be here.
Seeing that the girl was about to do it, she raised her hand and was about to make a move, but Cheng Yuguan hurriedly raised her hand to block it.
The county lord of Fucheng glanced at each other, thinking that Cheng Yuguan was cowardly.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuguan raised his hand, and the shouts followed, "Lord Fucheng be careful, the courtiers are naturally strong, and they can't hold back their hands if they are stimulated with one hand, don't be dragged down and fall down!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw that Cheng Yuguan's raised hand did not move, but he kicked out quickly on his foot, and the body of the stout girl who was walking towards him fell backwards unsteadily.
A few small yellow doors that were originally carrying their shoulders were touched by the fat girl, and their shoulders were unstable, and the one closest to Cheng Yuguan suddenly felt that his knee was hit by something and staggered.
This time, he stumbled and stumbled, and in a moment, the county lord of Fucheng screamed and was thrown off his shoulder.
Fortunately, there was a small yellow door behind him, and he didn't fall solid, but the lord of Fucheng has always been pampered, and he was embarrassed at this time.
Her friends who came over with her also screamed to help, but the scene was a little too chaotic and couldn't help them for a while.
Cheng Yuguan covered his head with his hands, hiding at the base of the wall as if he was surprised and frightened.
"Bang Bang!" Someone turned around from the deep passage at one end and applauded as they walked, "What a good show." ”
The person who came was a man, tall and thin, and his python robe was buckled with a belt, which made his waist even more prominent.
The slender body is a little excessive, but he has a high nose and deep eyes, and is very handsome.
"Cousin, you still have the heart to watch the play, why don't you help me up quickly!"
The county lord of Fucheng stretched out his hand, and the man smiled and walked a few steps, pulling Fucheng out of the middle of his shoulder.
It turned out that she was panicked and stuck just now.
"Cousin, look at her! How dare you plot against me! ”
Fucheng pointed to Cheng Yuguan and complained to the man.
"I've seen the Five Princes!"
On the side, Miss Qi hurriedly saluted, and among them, the fair cheeks of several young ladies were a little red.
Also, these five princes are worthy of being the male protagonist that Cheng Yulou has a fancy, with a delicate and handsome face, and a gentle temperament mixed with a hint of romance, but it is not too much, and it is fatal to the little girl.
The fifth prince waved his hand, motioned for everyone to get up, walked to the base of the wall, and picked up a bead.
"Does Miss Cheng look familiar?"
The fifth prince came to Cheng Yuguan, with a hand, and there were two beads in the palm of his hand.
Today, it turned out to be the fifth prince who asked the county lord of Fucheng to come to test Cheng Yuguan.
The county lord of Fucheng also reacted at this time, "Okay, you, use the beads to plot against me, and get the stolen goods, you quickly kneel down with me and beg for mercy at this time, let my girl hit me a few times, I will not pursue you for the following crimes, otherwise, I will not be afraid to go to the queen's mother." ”
Obviously, the county lord of Fucheng thought that he had caught Cheng Yuguan's handle, and he had enough confidence to speak.
Cheng Yuguan shrugged his shoulders, "What do the five princes and the lord of Fucheng mean, the courtiers don't understand." If the lord of Fucheng doesn't want to lynch, let's wait for the queen to judge. ”
Miss Qi was also angry, she was affected just now, and she also fell. made a fool of herself in front of the five princes, and she angrily stepped forward to find Cheng Yuguan theory, "Wait for the queen to comment?" The queen mother has every opportunity every day, how can she have the kung fu to judge such a trivial matter! ”
As he spoke, Qi Lianhua pointed to the beads in the palm of the five princes, "We are not Dali Temple, so we don't need to present evidence." This bead is shining here, who else uses this miscellaneous bead except you? You don't have to quibble, quickly admit your mistakes and beg for mercy, the five princes are notoriously good-tempered, and they can't let it go gently, otherwise, you will wait for the palace rules to punish you! ”
With the five princes present, it is no longer a few little girls who are awkward. Just now, they will be beaten, and they will be punished, and now that the five princes are present, they can no longer rely on the number of people to punish Cheng Yuguan.
Otherwise, if it spreads, others will say that the five princes acted inappropriately.
Cheng Yuguan looked at the few noble girls in front of him who were aggressive and had to admit their mistakes, and shook his head neatly.
She wasn't afraid to do it just now, but now she can only talk about it, and she is even more afraid.
Seeing Cheng Yuguan's tough attitude, Qi Lianhua had no choice, "Fucheng, did you fall in vain?" ”
When Fucheng heard this, he also stepped forward angrily, "Okay, they don't dare to touch you, I dare!" I, the county lord of Fucheng, want to beat you today, I see that you dare to fight back! ”
As he spoke, Fucheng stretched out his slap.
That's the rule.
It has always been superior and inferior, and the superior has to be punished, and you are given a name that the superior is particular about. If you don't give your name, you have to fight, and you have nothing to do.
The fifth prince stayed by the side of the county lord of Fucheng, looking at Cheng Yuguan with a smile.
Qi Lianhua was also on the side, smiling at everything in front of her.
At this time, as long as Cheng Yuguan dares to say the word "no", or dares to resist, Cheng Yuguan will conclude that without Qi Lianhua calling someone, the fifth prince Li Ke will be able to take action and restrain himself for the lord of Fucheng.
This is called the teacher is famous.
Cheng Yuguan watched Fu Cheng's hand fall, and she was thinking about the ability of the five princes.
The fifth prince is tall and has long legs, and his body stands casually, but his back is straight, which shows that he has practiced.
I don't know the depth of the strength of the five princes, Cheng Yuguan was entangled, watching the slap fall little by little, his eyes closed, it was better to eat the loss in front of him first.
"Stop!"
Cheng Yuguan immediately opened his eyes.
Li Mian actually took the first step and appeared in the deep exit of Yongdao.
