Chapter 185. On marriage
Zhen Huan cried with joy, didn't speak, just looked at Zhen Yurao carefully, touched her head over and over again, the last time we met, she was still a little girl, and now she has become a big girl.
"The third lady is getting more and more marked." Liu Zhu smiled and sighed in the back, explaining, "Niangniang is so happy to cry, since I know that the third miss has arrived in the capital, Niangniang is looking forward to the third miss entering the palace day and night." She comforted Zhen Huan, "The emperor has authorized the third lady to stay in the palace to accompany the mother, and the lady is already on the way back to Beijing, and she will be able to reunite with the master in Beijing in a few days. ”
Zhen Huan nodded, didn't say anything about it, just wiped her tears, grabbed Zhen Yurao's shoulder, and said: "I asked people to clean up Yongbaotang, you can live with peace of mind, it just so happens that the little sister of the An family has also entered the palace today, you are the same age, you will definitely be able to talk together." ”
was about to enter the house, but saw Su Peisheng coming from afar, and after saluting Zhen Huan, he said with a smile: "Say hello to the mother, the emperor knows that after the third lady entered the palace, he specially asked the slave to pick a lot of gifts to send them, in addition, the seventeenth master gave all the acacia flowers in Ninghui Hall to the mother, and then congratulated the joy of the canonization of the mother, the prince said, the acacia flowers can best calm the five organs and the mind, and the mother will come to enjoy the play in the future, or boil porridge to replenish the body, and always live up to it." ”
Zhen Huan's eyes were sour, and the coral hand on her wrist came from the skin junction with a slight coolness, she raised her eyebrows and whispered: "The prince's heart has been understood by this palace, and you have thanked the prince for this palace." Knowing that he had traveled all over the world this time, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This prince is also chic, unlike ordinary vulgar things, he only knows how to send some gold and jade." Zhen Yurao was a little surprised and praised it.
Su Peisheng said with a smile: "The third young lady entered the palace on the first day, and I didn't know that there were many places where our seventeenth master had a wonderful mind. He laughed and talked, and then withdrew.
After the first heavy snow in early winter, the weather suddenly cooled down, and the earth dragon and the furnace were burned in each palace, only the one who lost his grace and had no mother's family to rely on was suffering in the palace.
"I heard that Concubine Jin's life is very difficult, and all the black charcoal sent by the Internal Affairs Office is not to be burned indoors, so I can only take it to the kitchen to boil some hot water, and hold the soup lady to keep warm." Dill said with a little sigh when she talked about Concubine Jin, "She is now down, and the servants of the Internal Affairs Office can abuse her vigorously, Kang Changzai still taunts her from time to time, if it wasn't for Jianqiu who got the queen's order to go to Yonghe Palace yesterday, I don't know what it would be like to be bullied." ”
An Lingrong pursed his lips and chuckled, and slowly took a sip of tea: "In your opinion, how is this situation?" ”
"Since ancient times, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and this trick is not the first time that the queen has used it, and it is really useless." Dill replied with a smile, "Concubine Jin's chess piece can be regarded as firmly held in the queen's hand. ”
An Lingrong glanced at Dill appreciatively, and then said: "Concubine Jin has reached a desperate situation, and if she doesn't resist again, I'm afraid that she will be forced to die." She put down the teacup, took the incense spoon and picked the incense ash in the incense burner, her eyes were deep, "It doesn't hurt to let her recover." Closing the lid of the incense burner, An Lingrong gathered the fox fur covering his body, held the hand stove and looked out the window, "On such a cold day, where did Dan'er go?" ”
"Miss Zhen San next door is an idle person, I heard that Ning Guiren's parrot can chant poetry, so she took the second miss to the Chunxi Palace, and Shun Guiren also went with her, and she hasn't come back yet." Dill said with a smile, "Niangniang and Concubine Xi have a good relationship, and the second miss and the third miss Zhen are also very close to each other, they have been in the palace for a month, and they have to be together for twenty days, and even a piece of pastry has to be broken and eaten in half." ”
An Lingrong smiled: "They are of the same age, and some of them can be said among the little sisters." ”
It is said that Zhen Yurao and An Lingdan can be said to be familiar at first sight.
That day, the carriage of the Zhen family broke the wheel on the road, and it happened that the carriage of the An family passed by, An Lingdan lifted the curtain and glanced at it from afar, but saw that Zhen Yurao was also looking up, and the two of them were shocked by each other's beauty for a moment, looked at each other and smiled, and unconsciously formed a fate, and later learned each other's identities, they felt even more cordial, just like they were born to be sisters.
"That parrot is funny talking." Zhen Yurao took An Lingdan's hand and walked under the corridor, and suddenly saw a column of red and white camellias, "It's strange, there are eighteen bachelors of different colors in the palace." ”
"The rhino armor is cold and the green leaves are heavy, and the jade cup is Revlon. Why should he borrow longevity Changchun wine, but I am afraid that the tea fairy will not be tolerant. An Lingdan felt it, and his brows were dyed with sorrow, "Mother said that I should discuss marriage next year, but I am not ready to get married, Yurao, why do you say that women can only be trapped in the boxy house?" Even if it's a palace, it's just a slightly larger quadrangular cage. ”
"Yes, why can't women be like men? I feel that my talent is not inferior to that of any man, and if I take the imperial examination next year, I may be able to come back with a jinshi. Zhen Yurao bent down slightly, stretched out her hand to hold up a pink and white camellia, and was slightly melancholy, "Speaking of which, I should also be the age of the marriage, if I really want to get married, I would rather marry a husband for a lifetime, than break into the palace for half a step." ”
There was a sudden chuckle behind him, and the two girls looked back in unison.
Zhen Yurao looked the person up and down, frowned and asked, "Who are you?" I don't know how rude it is to hide behind and eavesdrop on others? ”
An Lingdan saw the identity of the person who came, pulled Zhen Yurao's sleeve, leaned over and saluted: "Greeting Shen Beile, we are people from Weiyang Palace and Yongshou Palace." ”
"But I've never seen the two little masters, so I don't know what to call them?" Shen Baylor stood far away, and clasped his hands when he heard the words.
Zhen Yurao raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied with a light smile: "The people who want to come to this palace are all people who have been favored by the emperor's rain and dew, no wonder the prince misrecognizes it." ”
There was a look of confusion on Shenbele's face.
"Don't blame Shen Beile, she is the third lady of the Zhen family, and the courtier's daughter is the second miss of the An family, not the little master of the palace." An Lingdan didn't dare to be as open-mouthed as Zhen Yurao, and hurriedly explained, without waiting for Shen Beile to speak again, he hurriedly pulled Zhen Yurao and left, "It's not too early, we should go back and say goodbye." ”
Zhen Yurao was dragged away by An Lingdan, couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand to tease her twice, An Lingdan suddenly saw that the strange man was panicking, and she blushed when she teased her, and the two left in a fight, leaving Shen Beile alone.
waited until he was far away, and An Lingdan exhaled: "I was really scared to death when a person came out of nowhere." ”
"Look at your cowardly look." Zhen Yurao picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead, "What's so scared, he won't eat you again." She had a provocative mind and deliberately said, "Ling Dan, what kind of person do you want to marry?" Can the talented Shen Baylor still be in your eyes? ”
"Don't talk nonsense." An Lingdan covered his face with both hands, cooled his face with the coldness of his palm, rolled his eyes, but thought seriously for a while, "The person I want to marry is older than me, considerate, gentle, like a father and a brother, knowing cold and hot, Shen Baylor is too immature, I don't like it." ”
Zhen Yurao snorted and laughed, only shouting that she was not ashamed, so angry that An Lingdan was about to screw her.
Fighting all the way back to Yongshou Palace, An Lingdan pulled Zhen Yurao towards the side hall, Fei Wen, who was originally sprinkling water in the courtyard, saw them come in, and shouted behind her, "Third Miss slow down, beware of falling", and also walked in, but he bumped into Wen Shichu who was giving Zhen Huan a safe pulse, and the two were very close, as if they were whispering.
"Eldest sister."
"Say hello to the concubine."
Zhen Huan looked at the two of them with a smile, raised her hand to signal An Lingdan to get up, turned her head and scolded Zhen Yurao: "Look at Dan'er, how you know the rules, how much you are like you, you don't have a proper shape all day long, and you don't look like a girl at all." ”
Zhen Yurao pursed her lips, completely uneasy, and looked back a little strange to see Fei Wen coming in: "You go down first." ”
Zhen Huan took An Lingdan's hand and said with a smile: "Your sister has not been feeling well these days, so I will go back after lunch here in the palace." Turning to Wen Shichu, he said, "Concubine Hui's fetus is too hard for you to worry about, and it looks like it's going to be seven months, so you can't be negligent." ”
"Yes, Wechen understands." Wen Shichu picked up the medicine box, saluted Zhen Huan, and then leaned over slightly to Zhen Yurao and An Lingdan before turning to leave.
An Lingdan looked at Wen Shichu, and suddenly his heartstrings beat, when he walked past her, a faint herbal fragrance wafted in the air, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, but the medicinal fragrance penetrated along the gap and surrounded her little by little.
"Ling Dan, why is your face so red?" Zhen Yurao's voice jerked her thoughts back.
An Lingdan was stunned for a long time before he stumbled back: "Probably, it's too hot in the hall." She lowered her eyes and suppressed the violent heartbeat in her chest, not knowing at this time that today's glimpse had ignited her heart that had been silent for many years, and also forged a cage that she could not escape from for the rest of her life.
During the Lantern Festival, Concubine Jin was favored again with a wonderful ice and snow dance, An Lingrong occasionally felt the wind and cold, and did not come that day, or Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing came back to relay it to her after reading it, and praised for a while: "Ice frolicking is difficult to practice, it is difficult for her to learn it in such a short time, and she dances so well." ”
"If the ice frolic has no child's skills, it will inevitably be successful, and dancing on the ice requires the dancer to be light, soft and boneless, which is not something that can be practiced overnight. In order to practice this dance well, she has suffered a lot. Zhen Huan said with a cold chuckle.
Concubine Jing answered on the side: "In order to lose weight all the time, Concubine Jin thought of countless methods, a few days ago she was hungry and fainted, and everyone knew it, but unfortunately the diet not only damaged her appearance but also did not work immediately, she wasted her thoughts, but I don't know what method she used later, and she lost weight twice in half a month." ”
"In the past, Zhao Feiyan was favored by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and her light body was able to dance in the palm of her hand, that is, she took the effect of the drug polypin pills, and stuffed this thing into the navel to melt into the body, which can make the skin better than snow, the body is light, and the appearance is extraordinarily radiant." Zhen Huan took a sip of tea slowly, "It's just that there is a taste of musk in it." ”
"Musk blindly has great damage to a woman's body, not only will it make the woman infertile, even if she is pregnant, it will cause the fetus in her womb to die early, Concubine Jin took this medicine from the Tai Hospital, won't the Tai Doctor inform her about it?" Concubine Jing snorted in surprise.
"Even someone told her she had to use it." An Lingrong couldn't help but smile, "Bing Fei's performance is close at hand, she hasn't even completed the first step to lose weight, can't she be in a hurry?" If you don't hurry, you won't have time to practice. ”
"Then she's digging her own grave." Concubine Jing looked at An Lingrong and said another thing with a smile, "On the first day of the new year, I went to Shayuxuan to see Concubine Hui, and I met your little sister at the door, and I was standing with Imperial Doctor Wen to talk, I stepped forward to say hello, and your little sister's whole face turned red, and she ran away after hurriedly saluting." ”
An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat, but she still smiled quietly on her face: "It must be Sister Concubine Jing who made fun of her, the little girl is thin-skinned and can't stand teasing, Sister Concubine Jing still asks for mercy." That being said, in the end, I still have an eye on it. (End of chapter)
