"Your Highness..." Hou Shi stood in the hanging flower door, watching Yan Boyi smiling at a concubine, suppressing the sourness in his heart, and forced himself to show a smile.
Seeing this, the concubine beside Yan Boyi curtseyed to her, bowed his head and stepped aside, looking extraordinarily well-behaved and sensible, but no matter how well-behaved and sensible the concubine was, in Hou Shi's opinion, it was only dressed in a well-behaved coat to steal men from her. Just a woman. However, Mrs. Hou was good at patience. No matter how much she felt unwilling in her heart, her face would not show any signs of it. She walked up to Yan Boyi calmly and said gently, "I'm disturbing your Yaxing."
Seeing Hou Shi, Yan Boyi withdrew the smile on his face, asked the concubine to step back and said, "I see that your face is not very good these days, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor has no effect."
"The illness is like a thread, how can you recover so quickly," Hou Shi smiled, mentioning his illness, and didn't care at all, "After a while, it will be the empress's future, what birthday gift should I bring to the palace this year? , the concubine is really undecided, what do you think, the prince?"
When it comes to the Queen, Yan Boyi's face is not very good-looking. Thinking of his plan, he said, "It's two points thicker than in previous years, just to avoid things related to pomegranate grapes, so that the Queen will not be in love with the situation."
The meaning of pomegranate grapes is related to the descendants. Now that the queen's son is gone, and the child in the prince's womb is not the prince's, wouldn't sending these things add to the queen's heart? He could guess that the princess' belly might belong to the emperor, and the empress could certainly guess that, if he could unite with the empress, it would be a good thing for him. If not, at least it can make the queen feel a little favored.
"Concubine understands," Hou responded, and after the two of them finished talking about these things, they were a little speechless.
When the atmosphere gradually cooled down, Yan Boyi suddenly said, "I heard that Princess Xian doesn't like household duties, so she probably doesn't know what gift to give to the queen. If you have time, you might as well chat with her, it will help her too. ."
"What do you mean..." Hou Shi's face changed slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Although Princess Xian doesn't like household duties, she is not a stupid person. I'm afraid she won't believe what I say."
"She doesn't want to believe it, so you can find a way to make her believe it," Yan Boyi said involuntarily with some contempt, "She is a woman, and she is protected and petted by Yan Jinqiu, what can she do."
Hou Shi heard the sarcasm in Yan Jinqiu's words, his eyes were a little complicated, and he replied softly.
Two days later, when Mr. Hou was copying the Tao Te Ching, he saw his personal maid approaching, put down the problem in his hand, and said in a flat tone, "How is it going?"
"Master, don't worry, today's purchase at Prince Xian's mansion bought the jade carving of the fairy with pomegranate into the palace. I heard that Princess Xian is very satisfied with the jade carving and has already added it to the gift list."
Hou Shi nodded and sighed. Although Hua Shi was smart, he was spoiled by King Xian after all.
In the palace of King Xian, Hua Xiwan was playing with the jade carving of a fairy with a pomegranate in the mouth of Hou, and praised: "What a beautiful carver, even the decorations on the clothes of the fairy can be seen clearly, but I don't know how to send it to the Queen's Palace. It's really a pity if it will be smashed by her later."
"If you like it, you can stay, and we will find another replacement that has similar meaning to this one," Yan Jinqiu said with a smile, "I also have a fairy statue of scattered flowers and jade in my private library. I will give it to you later. come and play."
"I'll just take a fresh look at these things, and forget about playing with them," Hua Xiwan put down the jade carving and looked at Yan Jinqiu with her chin on her hand, "Since we want to convince the other party that we are hooked, we will Be professional."
Yan Boyi's move is not bad, but he didn't think of one thing, he just thought according to common sense, if a woman does not have a son and her grandson is about to be born, then a woman who wants to leave a bloodline for her son must be praying to God every day. I pray that this grandson is safe and healthy. Among the gifts they sent from the palace of Xian Wang, there was this jade carving in it, which might make the empress' heart block, but it was enough to convince the empress to believe that they didn't know that the fetus in the womb of the princess was not the prince's, let alone the empress. He didn't want to see the fetus in the princess' womb, but he had to endure it.
If the queen knew that the fetus in the princess' womb was not the prince's, why would she endure it? Unless the father of the fetus can't afford to offend her.
The queen is one person below ten thousand people, and she is the mother of all people. Who has put a green hat on her son and she dare not say a word
How could King Xian, a prince who only read poetry, calligraphy and painting, know about these issues that cannot be carefully thought about, and it is even less possible for her, a princess Xian who does not like ordinary affairs, to know that there is a jade carving in the gift to bless the fetus in the womb of the prince, then It's just normal.
It's better to be annoying than hateful.
In the past year, the royal family has held several funerals in a row. Although there is no such thing as elders being filial to the younger generation, this year the queen's future is still much lower-key than in previous years, and everyone in Fangfu, who has been guarded by the Imperial Guard for many days, is finally able to come out. The mansion entered the palace to congratulate the queen on her birthday, but the guards guarding outside their mansion did not disperse, still standing at the gate of Fang mansion.
Gift slips from all over the place were continuously sent to the queen's bedroom. Most of these gift slips were one or two percent thinner than in previous years. The queen sneered in her heart, and put these gift slips that were a little thinner than in previous years aside, and then picked up a few other gift slips. Look closely.
When she saw a jade sculpture named Jiutian Xuannv Fengxifu Pomegranate in the gift list of Prince Xian's Mansion, her face suddenly sank, she took a few deep breaths, and then re-patted the gift list of Prince Xian's Mansion on the table, sneered: "What a princely palace, are you making fun of this palace for not having a son now?"
The maid, who has served her for many years, glanced at the maids and eunuchs around who were so frightened that they knelt down, and said hesitantly, "Niangniang, this servant thinks that the palace will not be so daring, this jade carving means auspiciousness, maybe... Maybe it is a blessing to the emperor. Sun."
"Imperial grandson..." The Empress was stunned for a moment, with a hint of resentment in her eyes. After a while, she sighed: "Forget it, what does Princess Xian, a teenage girl, know about this palace's affairs."
Mammy echoed: "This Princess Xian is so spoiled by Wang Xian that she doesn't even know what the niangniang likes. It's really daring."
"It's okay, it's okay, how old is she, and when Ben Gong was as old as her, she was naive." She was indeed innocent, but the environment made her understand that kindness and innocence are the most intolerant in the palace. thing. It is a woman's blessing to be able to be happy and kind for a lifetime. If you can't, you must make yourself invulnerable to all poisons. Otherwise, in the end, only yourself will be hurt all over the body.
When the mama heard the words, she saw that the queen reached out to take the gift list from the palace of Shengjun, so she stopped talking wisely.
The Princess Shengjun, like the Prince Xian's mansion, this year's ceremony was a little thicker than in previous years, and the gifts she prepared were also very thoughtful, and she also deliberately avoided the things that the Queen's concubine avoided. It's no wonder that Princess Shengjun is known as a virtuous person, and she is indeed more thoughtful in doing things than Princess Xian. Ask her to say that, apart from her background and appearance, Princess Xian is better than Princess Shengjun in other places.
It's a pity that all the men in the world are so beautiful. Even if a beautiful woman is very stupid, in the eyes of men, she is also a supreme treasure. And a woman like the Princess Shengjun, who is a virtuous, virtuous, and well-kept housekeeper, didn't the Prince of Shengjun still take several concubines into the mansion
"The people from the Shengjun Palace are really kind." The queen's hand holding the gift list turned white, with Sen Han's killing intent in her eyes, "Bengong really underestimated them."
The gift list was gently placed on the table, and the queen didn't want to read the gift list anymore, rubbed her forehead and said, "Help Ben Gong go back to the inner room to rest, Ben Gong is tired."
Mammy didn't quite understand why the Empress's mood was not right, but seeing her pale face, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just carefully helped the Empress into the inner room.
After the queen fell asleep, the nanny walked out of the room lightly. She hated some noble families for ignoring the queen, and they didn't even want to do it on the surface. The gifts they gave were not as thoughtful as in previous years, but the number was not comparable to before. .
Even if Niangniang did not have the prince, she was still the queen of the palace. How could these people dare to do this? !
On the day of the Empress Qianqiu, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of the Palace reduced their specifications by 30% compared to previous years to hold a banquet in the Chaoyang Hall. There were strict rules on how to arrange the tables and chairs, and what kind of lamps should be used during the banquet. Specifications are a big sin.
When the Qianqiu banquet was still more than half an hour away, the princes and nobles who were able to attend the banquet appeared in twos and threes. The first to arrive were some royal families who had vacancies but did not have much status, or the more powerful families who had fallen. The more it appears in the back.
Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu didn't arrive early, but it wasn't too late. They almost arrived with Ning Wang's family. Since the death of the prince, King Ning said that he would no longer go to court, let alone receive foreign guests. But in Hua Xiwan's view, the old man who exchanged was just hoping that the new emperor who ascended the throne in the future would not hate him. As for the sadness over the death of the crown prince... Maybe he should be sad, holding such an unsatisfactory thing two For more than ten years, as a result, this unsatisfactory thing still dragged the harem and ended up playing with both legs. It was like the next important dungeon. Although it dragged a pig teammate, it also grinded the monster to death. As a result, at the most critical moment, the pig teammate went offline, and you were kicked out of the dungeon... Just thinking about it, she felt heartbroken for King Ning. Princelings, the result has fallen to this point.
"The weather has been changing recently, please uncle to take care of your health." Yan Jinqiu saluted King Ning gracefully, and his words and deeds on May 1 were not the respect of the younger generation to the elders.
"Nice nephew is too polite," Ning Wang stretched out his hand to help him, then clenched his hand into a fist and covered the corner of his mouth and coughed up: "Recently, my health is really bad, and my nephew is worried."
"As long as my uncle is healthy, it is a great joy for my nephew."
Hua Xiwan silently looked away from her uncle and nephew as they listened to each other's elegant demeanor.
Both of them are movie stars.
