Chapter 107: It's hard to be a queen
Lu Zhong wanted to wipe his sweat, Your Majesty, are you confused? You are talking to the queen in the inner room, can the slave and maid hear me? Do you dare to hear it?
Today is the queen's birthday, and the people who entered the palace to celebrate her birthday set off early in the morning.
After these few months, all the mansions in the capital basically know that His Majesty and the Queen Mother are now very satisfied with the Queen Mother.
The inside is not important, anyway, what is shown in front of everyone is that the Queen Mother is very satisfied with the queen, and Her Majesty and the queen are very affectionate.
That's it, that's the weather vane, you just have to aim in this direction.
Therefore, the clan relatives and ministers of the DPRK and China who entered the palace today to congratulate their birthdays, or began to give gifts a few days in advance, were particularly serious.
The queen went in person early in the morning to invite the queen mother and several concubines.
The queen mother was personally invited by her to Yining Palace, so the concubine didn't have to go by herself, just ask the people around her to go.
It's not everyone who is invited, it's usually just those who have sons.
Mainly among the families of the ministers of the DPRK and China who came today, there are also their relatives, and they also take this opportunity to communicate.
It can only be the queen's birthday to have this face, and the concubines don't dare to do this on their birthday, unless it is Your Majesty's will.
The Queen Mother will not go to the birthday banquet of the concubines.
Fengyi Palace is very lively today, and everyone is here. Obviously, His Majesty came over after the dispersal of the court.
Although he couldn't be here all the time because he was all a woman, he also sat with the queen for a while, which is called attention.
Like the concubines on their birthdays, the emperor is always happy, that's not okay.
This is the difference between wives and concubines.
Sleepless was followed by a few young girls today, and they all avoided it when the emperor was there, and only then did they come out again.
One of them is the girl of the Liu family, her future brother and daughter-in-law.
The queen is young, and she is not timid to talk to all the ladies and daughters-in-law, especially the young girls and young daughters-in-law of various families.
It's not a show, but it's full of momentum.
To be honest, this is not the first time that Sleepless has been with the wives, in previous years, she had been sitting like this on her birthday and holidays.
But in the past, I could only barely make mistakes, and there was no possibility of being able to play with ease.
It's no wonder she's not to blame.
Just like she told Yingqionglou, she was originally just a defeated daughter of the Hou Mansion, and her grandfather, father and brother had no official positions in the family, and lived on the shadow of her ancestors.
The mother is just a daughter from a seven-grade petty official family, and the rules and etiquette are all different.
It is already difficult to reluctantly marry a middle-class family as a wife, after all, it is not easy to be a housekeeper.
But once you enter the palace and do it, where can this gap be filled in a few days?
What's more, she knows that her family is not good, so she has an inferiority complex, but inferiority is conceited.
feels that she is a queen and is more powerful than all women in the world, and the more proud she becomes, the more unwilling she is to sink her heart to learn.
None of the wives will shake their faces in front of the queen, but it is inevitable to look down on them.
They are all from noble girls, who compares with whom? You have entered the palace and become the queen, I want to respect you in my face, and it is normal to look down on you in my heart.
That's why there was a foolish thing about the previous wife entering the palace and not asking the queen to say goodbye, and that person was naturally confused and didn't need to mention it, but it wasn't necessarily because the queen did not do well?
Now that the queen has fallen ill, she has changed a lot.
Someone bit his ears in the dark, saying that Queen Zhao is somewhat similar to the one back then.
In fact, it's still different, Queen Shen herself is a fierce person, and she gives people a sense of oppression.
Anyway, after this day, there are a lot of beautiful talks about the queen in the capital.
Since the birthday, the children also have to kowtow to celebrate their birthday.
They also had to offer birthday gifts, which were naturally prepared by their mothers.
The eldest prince also has the provincial capital in the palace prepared.
Sleepless sat on the top and watched the three princes and two princesses kneel down and kowtow, she also suffered it and could bear it.
"Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, you have a heart."
At this time, Lu Zhong came outside, and there were more than a dozen people carrying boxes and plates behind him.
"Your Majesty has a reward! Your Majesty has something to say, and the queen is exempt. ”
Sleepless then stood and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Then there are the things that Lu Zhong sang and brought, all of which were fine and exquisite.
From silk satin to pearl jadeite, from pearl jadeite to gold and silver agate.
There are also ornaments, pendants, calligraphy and paintings.
I read it for a long time.
Everyone was whispering.
They are all smiling and envious.
On the Zhao family's side, the eldest daughter-in-law Hu said softly: "Mother-in-law is more at ease this time, the queen mother and Your Majesty are in harmony." ”
Qian nodded: "That's the best, the family can't help her, I just hope that she will be well." ”
She inadvertently saw His Majesty's concubines standing on the side, and saw that they were smiling on their faces, but their eyes were very deep, and the eyes that looked at their daughter were not very friendly.
She herself has suffered these hardships, when she first married the Zhao family, her mother-in-law looked down on her background and deliberately raised the concubine.
Isn't that what those concubines are? With a smile on his face, he called himself a young lady, and he never spoke respectfully.
If it weren't for the mother-in-law who suppressed them later, she also gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and now I don't know what to do.
But Sleepless doesn't have children yet, can she, the queen, be good?
Some people are jealous and some people are worried.
At least the concubines are really unhappy, even if they are favored again on their birthdays, Your Majesty can't reward them like this.
The main thing is that there are some things that they can't use except for the queen.
Li Zhaoyi was so favored before, and His Majesty rewarded him a lot, but on the day of his birthday, His Majesty would not reward him so much in front of everyone.
This is a matter of raising face, in the end, the queen is different.
In the afternoon of this day, Sleepless made eyes on the water.
Linshui took advantage of the fact that the prince of the Jin Dynasty went to change her clothes.
The lady's surname is Lin, and when she heard the queen mother say that she would see her alone tomorrow, she began to beat the drum in her heart. Absolutely not sure why.
But also hurry up.
It was just a small episode, and no one noticed.
When Fengyi Palace was lively, Sleepless first asked someone to send the Queen Mother back.
After waiting for more than an hour, gossiping with everyone, and slowly sending the guests away, it was already early.
When Yingqionglou came over, she saw the little queen sitting on a chair holding her forehead, her face was red, this was too much drinking, right?
"Drinking too much?"
"Your Majesty is here?" Sleepless stood up, and the person shook a little.
can still give people away in an orderly manner, but now it is unstable, and sure enough, people can't get rid of that energy.
Ying Qionglou helped her: "How much did you drink?" "I can smell the wine.
Sleepless frowned and tried to push him, but he didn't have much strength: "It's not that I blame you for this." ”
Ying Qionglou also frowned: "How can I make you unhappy today?" ”
