Chapter 19: It's a little capricious
Soon, the princess and the princess of the first emperor also came, and the clan relatives outside the palace entered the palace one after another, and this Yining Palace became lively.
Neither the emperor nor the empress sat next to the Queen Mother today.
Next to the Queen Mother are the old princesses in the clan, or the elders of the first emperor, and the Queen Mother has to call her aunt and uncle.
Even if the younger generations have a high status, they must give way, this is filial piety.
said it was a one-day play, but it didn't start in the morning. I'm going to go in the afternoon.
The queen mother was gossiping with the clansmen, and the concubines were also holding them. It's good that after decades of sleepless thinking, I will be like this myself.
At that time, the son may not be his own, but it doesn't matter, if the son wants to be a Mingjun, he has to respect his mother-in-law. It's a big deal for the two queen mothers, and they don't fight with his mother, everyone lives in harmony, and they don't care about anything anyway.
That's good, too.
"What is the Queen thinking?" Ying Qionglou turned around and saw that her little queen was smiling...... Kind??
Didn't you read it wrong?
"I'm wondering if the queen mother is happy, and she looks quite happy." I almost said that I was bald, and I was thinking about waiting for me to do what the Queen Mother would do in the future? This is unspeakable, and it is impossible for the emperor not to be angry when he hears it.
"You ......" Yingqionglou almost said that the birthday banquet you worked hard to arrange, the queen mother must be happy, and then thought that the queen does not care about palace affairs now, which means that the queen cannot be happy......
"Huh?" Sleepless stopped halfway through his speech and looked at him curiously.
"Oh, you care about the queen mother, and the queen mother must be happy. The queen mother doesn't value these, just let everyone accompany her. "Yingqiong Corridor.
"Your Majesty, what are you whispering to the queen mother?" The concubine raised her wine glass and looked over: "Let's think about toasting, Your Majesty doesn't mention it, and the concubines are embarrassed to toast first." ”
Ying Qionglou nodded and raised a glass to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother drank it with a smile.
Sleepless followed with a toast, and then it was up to the concubines to play.
When he arrived at the second prince, it stands to reason that he should say a few auspicious words.
As a result, the six-year-old child couldn't speak.
The nurse urged him, and he actually cried.
Concubine Xian immediately got up: "Hurry up and take the second prince away, don't let him disturb the interest of the mother." ”
The nurse didn't dare to leave, so Yingqionglou waved her hand: "Take it back." ”
The nurse hurriedly took the luggage away.
Concubine Xian explained: "It's the concubine's fault, she didn't teach the child well, don't blame him." ”
The Queen Mother snorted: "The child is still young." ”
In the end, I didn't say whether it was strange or not.
Sleepless got up and poured a glass of wine for the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, when will our play start?" I can't wait. ”
The Queen Mother laughed: "It'll be open in a while, and it will be open in a while, you love it more than me." ”
The clan relatives all laughed and praised the queen for her filial piety, and covered up the matter.
But Concubine Xian's face is also lost, your child is sick and weak, and you can't say an auspicious word when you're six years old.
The two-year-old third prince still said that the emperor's grandmother was as blessed as the East China Sea.
In comparison, the second prince is too wasteful.
Under this social thought, the Queen Mother will definitely not be happy. It's not that she didn't hear her grandson's auspicious words on her own birthday, it's just that this child is so unhealthy and so cowardly, none of which are liking.
When Sleepless sat back, he also pinched the face of the third prince.
Li Zhaoyi didn't say anything when she saw it.
But the Queen Mother smiled: "The third prince is cute." Li Zhaoyi, you come. ”
Li Zhaoyi got up and walked over: "The Queen Mother." ”
"Well, I remember when you first entered the East Palace, you were Chenghui? The emperor was still there that year, and I looked at you well during the draft. doesn't like to talk, but is full of rules, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”
"Thank you, Niangniang, for remembering the concubine." Li Zhaoyi said.
"Emperor, Empress, Li Zhaoyi is also an old man in the East Palace, and there are heirs under her knees, I intend to promote her to the throne, what do you see?" The Queen Mother asked.
"That's as it should be, I'm okay with that." Sleepless laughed.
"What the queen mother said is, then she will be promoted to the second-rank concubine, and the title will be sent by the palace province." Ying Qionglou nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine, and thank you to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother for their grace." Li Zhaoyi was already Concubine Li at this time.
"A harem woman, if she can extend the heirs for the royal family, she will have merit. Don't think I'm biased, the Li family is raised by the children, and the promotion is deserved. The Queen Mother glanced at everyone.
"What the queen mother said is that the sons and daughters must follow the teachings." Sleeplessness follows the blessed body.
The concubines also hurriedly responded.
It's just that they are bitter in their hearts, the emperor doesn't have many heirs, and the concubines and concubines are only princesses.
Concubine Xian's son is disliked, and he is not successful.
Now that the Li family, who has a son, once he becomes a concubine, he is really more noble.
Later, the Queen Mother didn't care about the concubines anymore, started the play, and watched it lively.
It wasn't until the night that the clansmen were sent away, and she was not happy, so she asked the queen concubine to accompany her and saw it in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, the province of the palace prepared the title for the Li family and sent it to the emperor, and the emperor circled the word 'min' and asked someone to send it to the queen.
Just when everyone arrived, the queen told everyone: "The title chosen by His Majesty for the Li family is Min, which is a good word." In the future, it will be Concubine Min, and the official canonization day is at the end of the month, so you should prepare well. In the future, it is good to serve Your Majesty well, raise the imperial heir, and have a few more children. ”
"The concubine remembers the teachings of the queen and will abide by her duty." Concubine Min knelt down.
"Well, get up, sit and talk."
Concubine Min sat down, and everyone else wanted to say hello, but this joy was also sour.
The emperor has always been generous in sealing the harem, and he did not hesitate to give a high position, and looked at Concubine Li and Jiang Zhaorong.
Concubine Li was never pregnant, because the emperor liked it, and she was Concubine Li.
Although Jiang Zhaorong lost her daughter, her background was not too good, and her favor was weak, but His Majesty also gave Zhaorong a seat when he remembered her widow. is Concubine Min herself, in fact, she was not favored at the beginning, but after giving birth to the third prince, she was suddenly promoted from a talented person to Zhaoyi.
From this point of view, Yingqionglou is somewhat capricious in giving the position of concubine.
Concubine Min is also an old man, so no one is unconvinced when she is promoted, after all, having a prince is confident.
There are not many newcomers who are temporarily ahead, and they don't have any ability to do anything to the high-ranking mother.
The weather is getting warmer and there are more rainy days, so when I can't sleep, I read books and write in my palace. If the weather is nice, go to the Imperial Garden.
Occasionally talking with the Twelve Princes, the Twelve Princes also seem to like sleeplessness, and they are very happy to talk to her when they meet, after all, there are really not many people who can listen to themselves patiently.
So on this day, when Yingqionglou came to dine with the queen, she asked about it: "Do you like the twelfth brother very much?" ”
"Hmm." Sleepless nodded.
