"What are you doing here?" Tai Concubine Sun looked at Tai Concubine Qian who walked in with a cold face, "Nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense or are you thinking?" Taifei Qian didn't mind Taifei Sun's unwelcome attitude at all, so she walked to the chair and sat down, raising her eyebrows, "I am very clear about your thoughts, originally I didn't intend to. It's okay, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to be implicated by you."
"Am I implicated in you?" Taifei Sun said coldly, "You have been in the harem all these years, getting the best out of you. Who has the ability to implicate you?"
"Look at what you said," Qian Taifei sneered, "what's the point of talking about things in the past now." Speaking of this, the smile on her face disappeared, and her gaze towards Taifei Sun was vague. Some sympathy, "The queen mother and the queen have made up their minds to send us concubines to the Lin'an Bie Gong, I also figured it out, this place is not much better than the Lin'an Bie Gong, concubines like us, where do you live? difference."
Taifei Sun was stunned, she looked at Taifei Qian with suspicious eyes, not knowing whether the other party was acting or being sincere. It was clearly the Qian family who was the least reconciled at the beginning. Why is it the Qian family who figured it out first
These women of the late emperor, they didn't have much affection for each other, but they had a lot of grudges, big and small. For example, after the Wei family favored the six palaces, they would spar with the elders in the palace, so after the death of the late emperor, they would treat the Wei family like this.
But no matter how many grudges, over time, even the heart of revenge has diminished. These women, for the benefit of the family, for the sake of a man like the late emperor, did countless calculations, but in the end they only ended up in such a deserted ending.
"You think clearly," Tai Fei Sun was silent for a moment, then said, "You came today to tell me this?"
"Anyway, you and I have been friends for nearly 20 years. I don't want to see you jumping into the pit, so I came to remind you," Qian Taifei stood up and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Don't talk to King Rui. Mixed together, this man is too ambitious, thinking too much will not do you any good."
Taifei Sun looked at Taifei Qian and did not speak.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Qian didn't bother to persuade her any more.
"Taifei Niangniang." The person who was serving Sun Taifei saw that her face was not very good, so she hurriedly supported her and asked carefully, "Are you alright."
"I'm fine," Concubine Sun shook her head expressionlessly. "Who is the eunuch guarding the gate today? He neglected his duty and punished him for twenty." Mrs. Qian came in and didn't stop or report it. Such eunuch guarding the gate kept What is the use
"Yes." The face of the close-fitting palace maid changed slightly, and she lowered her head to respond.
Soon after Concubine Qian left, she heard that Concubine Sun was scolding the concierge, she laughed sarcastically, and then asked the servants in the palace to pack her bags.
Since going to Lin'an Bie Gong is a sure thing, she might as well think about how to make herself go to Lin'an Bie Gong to live a comfortable life, instead of spending unnecessary gods.
But what people have to admit is that the queen is indeed a woman with a good fate, and she can make the emperor achieve this step, even if she is envious, jealous, and hateful, she can't get it.
When she knew that Concubine Sun had the intention to use Yangliu to get close to the emperor, she also intervened in the middle because she wanted to watch the fun. Who knew that the emperor didn't even look at the little beauty, and let people kneel on the side of the road without pity, waiting for the queen to find out about this.
If the late emperor had half the character of today, presumably the harem would not have fought so hard back then.
King Zhong was in a bad mood, because he ate a closed door from the Gu family. In his opinion, the Gu family is nothing but a second-rate family with a queen, and it is really abominable to dare to ignore him by relying on the queen's nepotism.
With anger in his heart, King Zhong not only disliked the Gu family, but also became very dissatisfied with the queen who had never met. Thinking that there are no other concubines in the harem other than the empress, he vaguely had an idea in his heart, but this idea was not easy to implement, so he just thought about it in his heart.
He stayed in the other palace for one night, and the next morning, King Zhong took a shower and changed his clothes, and entered the palace with a large and small package of congratulatory gifts and a pair of children of his own. He had already heard that although King Rui arrived in the capital two days before him, he entered the palace alone and did not bring children with him.
Therefore, he is now bringing his children and considers himself to be more sincere than King Rui.
From Suzaku Gate to Qiankun Palace, the maids and eunuchs he met along the way were very polite and polite to him. He said to his son with satisfaction: "It's still the people in the palace who wink."
Jin Hong knew that his father's words meant complaining about the Gu family, so he didn't talk to him. On the contrary, the younger sister who was walking beside him nodded and said, "Father is right."
Right what? Jin Hong felt a little tired. Now that the queen is in power in the harem, these palace attendants treat them so politely, isn't it just because the queen is well-mannered
But this kind of thinking, he can only think about it in his heart, but he can't say it, otherwise he will only get an angry reprimand from the father.
Jin Yang did not have a court meeting today, and Bai Guan knew that the emperor's longevity was coming, and there were no bad things to bother him, so Jin Yang had been very leisurely in recent days.
Holding a miscellaneous book, he followed Gu Rujiu's example, brewed a pot of good tea, put a few stacks of snacks, and leaned on the soft cushion, as leisurely as a cat that killed the sun.
Seeing him like this, Gu Rujiu had the heart to tease him, so she stretched out her hand from the soft couch, covered his eyes, and whispered in his ear, "Is the book so beautiful?"
"Why don't you attract me," Jin Yang threw the book aside, put Gu Rujiu in his arms with his backhand, and tapped the bridge of her nose with his index finger, "Even the vinegar of the book?"
"It's hot, being jealous is good for your body and mind," Gu Rujiu leaned on his chest and smiled lowly, touching his cheek, "You're cool."
Jin Yang's body is not very good, so no matter the temperature of the body surface in winter or summer, it feels cool to the touch. When the weather is cold, it may feel a little oozing to the touch, but in summer, it is very comfortable. It is precisely because of this that when Gu Rujiu has something to do recently, he likes to move his hands and feet on Jin Yang, and then achieve the effect of cooling the human body.
"Then ask them to prepare more sour things for lunch today." Jin Yang was amused by Gu Rujiu's words, and he let her "hands up and down" on her, and she couldn't help but laugh when she was scratched to the point of itching.
He Ming heard the laughter in the house, hesitated for a moment, and then said bravely: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Prince Zhong brought the prince and the county lord to visit."
The room fell silent, and after a while he heard His Majesty's voice.
"Let him wait in the front hall, and the Queen and I will go later."
"Yes." He Ming glanced at the tightly closed door and retreated silently.
When King Zhong saw He Ming came back alone, he asked, "This father-in-law, is the emperor willing to see his ministers?"
"His Royal Highness has come from a long way. Even if His Majesty doesn't have time, he will put down other matters and come to see you first," He Ming smiled and stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty will arrive later."
"There is Eunuch Lao." Hearing He Ming's words, Prince Zhong showed a satisfied look on his face, and nodded reservedly to He Ming.
He Ming glanced at the county master and the prince who were sitting at the head of King Zhong, and stepped aside with a smile, and then kept silent with practical actions.
After about two incense sticks, King Zhong had already changed his sitting position three times, and finally heard a movement outside.
King Zhong had never seen Jin Yang's appearance, but he heard that the emperor was not in good health. He looked like a good woman and a gentleman. So when Jin Yang, dressed in black clothes and full of extravagance, appeared in front of him, he almost couldn't react, which seemed different from the sick little white face he expected.
"I'm here to meet your majesty." This was the first time he formally met the emperor. No matter how unruly King Zhong was, he knew that he had to give a big gift, although according to his seniority, his seniority was higher than today's.
However, in this place of the royal family, seniority is of little use. In front of the emperor, everything has to stand aside.
When King Zhong's etiquette was almost done, Jin Yang stepped forward to help him up and said, "No need to be too polite, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After King Zhong thanked Jin Yang, he bowed his hands to Gu Rujiu who was behind Jin Yang, and then sat down after Jin Yang and Gu Rujiu sat down.
Gu Rujiu raised his eyebrows, this loyal king does not seem to be as mindless as the rumors.
The opening remarks of the topic are always to say hello to each other, and then talk about some nonsense that is not nutritious, and finally mention the key points, and the content of the conversation between Jin Yang and King Zhong is no exception.
"Since King Zhong likes the prosperity of Beijing and has the heart to find a good husband for the county master, it is better to stay in Beijing for a while longer, so that I can have more time to entertain you." Jin Yang said with a smile, " I also ask the lord not to refuse."
"Your Majesty is so kind, how could this minister be willing to refuse?" King Zhong looked at Jin Yang's pair of peach blossom eyes, lowered his eyelids and said, "This minister only has this girl, and she also asks the queen mother and the queen to pay more attention to her marriage."
"Marriage always pays attention to the words of the parents' life matchmaker, so it's not good for this palace to go overboard. When Jingzhong Erlang proposes marriage to the county master, it's okay for this palace to help you with the details. As for the other things..." Gu Rujiu smiled apologetically, "I am the age of the palace. It’s still light, I’m afraid I won’t be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.”
The princess princess of the Jin family has always been famous. She doesn't know the nature of this Rongnan princess. In case, after getting married, this one has nothing to support the first lover or something, then the family who married her wouldn't hate her, the one who helped to talk about the relationship
What's more, the position of King Zhong is unclear, and Jin Yang's attitude towards him is not too far away. Why should she be involved with such an iron hat king, causing unnecessary misunderstanding and involvement.
No matter how deep the relationship is, it needs to be managed. It is the stupidest way to use the sincerity and feelings of others as a bargaining chip and spend it recklessly.
What she wants is that Jin Yang loves her more and more and can't be separated from him more and more, not because of various unnecessary misunderstandings and suspicions, making the two go further and further apart.
Seeing that the Queen did not agree, King Zhong didn't mind. Anyway, because of his family's relationship, he didn't like the Queen very well. It was just casual talk just now. How dare he really hand over his daughter's marriage to the Queen. In case this person is not attentive and casually finds an unreliable husband for his daughter, will he nod or not nod at that time
When the queen said this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The appearance of Princess Rongnan is not particularly outstanding. His face and eyes are very similar to King Zhong. Fortunately, his complexion is not as dark as King Zhong, but very white and tender, otherwise it will be even more inconspicuous.
The nobles of the Dafeng family usually not only pay attention to elegance and bearing, but also attach great importance to appearance. In terms of looking at their faces, they are all very upright, and they have abandoned the style of the aristocratic family, which likes to pay attention to subtlety, and it is terrifyingly simple and straightforward.
So in terms of appearance, Princess Rongnan really doesn't have many advantages. If he is talented and has a good personality, he can also find a good man. If there is no such thing...
Gu Rujiu took a sip of the tea cup, suppressed her thoughts, and smiled at Prince Zhong.
This smile was seen by Princess Rongnan, and she couldn't help but feel envious. If she laughed, it would be nice to be as good-looking as the Empress.
No wonder the emperor treats the queen so well. If she were a man, she could see Mi Ri smiling so beautifully at herself every day, and she would want to give him all the good things.
"It's almost noon, and the palace has already prepared meals. If King Zhong and Prince Shizi don't dislike it, they will leave one for dinner." Jin Yang said, "After lunch, I will accompany you to meet the Queen Mother. ."
"Then harass Your Majesty." Prince Zhong asked after he came to the capital. After Prince Rui entered the palace, he was left behind for lunch, so after Jin Yang asked to leave him, he happily agreed.
This has to be agreed. If it spreads out, others say that King Rui was kept for dinner, and when King Zhong arrived at noon, he left the palace in a daze. Where would he put his face
He is the king of iron hats, and this face cannot be lost.
Several people moved to the dining room of Zichen Hall.
The decoration of the dining room is very fresh and comfortable, which makes people feel like they have an appetite before they start to eat. Jin Hong looked around and said with emotion, this is the style of the royal family. Compared with the dining room in the palace, it is simply the style of the nouveau riche.
The decoration is exquisite, and washing hands is even more meticulous. Just wiping your hands will waste several brocade handkerchiefs. Jin Hong couldn't help but ask: "Do you only use these handkerchiefs once?"
King Zhong, who had been to the capital before, knew that the royal family always regarded extravagance and waste as extravagance, so it was not surprising. Seeing that his son was timid, he coughed dryly and said, "Royal style, you should be like this."
Hearing this, Gu Rujiu explained with a smile: "It should have been according to the rules of the ancestors. However, after His Majesty took charge of the government, he felt that this was too extravagant and wasteful, so except for the first hand-wiping jinpa, everything else was washed and dried. Continue to use it later.”
"So it is." Jin Hong saw the Queen's smile and soft voice. He was a little restrained, but he also let go a lot. "Your Majesty is so diligent and thrifty, it is a blessing for all people."
Jin Yang smiled: "As a ruler, this should be the case."
In fact, in his opinion, even this is very wasteful, but it is a pity that these rules and etiquette cannot be easily changed.
Isn't the so-called extravagance and prestige built up from generations of gold and silver
The dishes are served, steamed, fried, boiled and fried, as well as cold cuts and fruit plates, which are very rich. Compared with one, the food that Zhongwangfu eats on weekdays is simply pig food.
Jin Hong somewhat understands why his father planned to let his sister marry in the capital, because the lives of people in the capital are much more detailed than theirs in Rongzhou.
After lunch, Jin Hong used a bowl of rice and a plate of fruit more than usual. He found that even his father and sister ate more than usual, so he didn't feel embarrassed.
Maybe this time in Rongzhou, he should suggest that his father take some cooks from the capital back to improve the meals in the palace.
Gu Rujiu saw that most of the food had been moved on the table, only to realize that she also used half a bowl of rice today. It seems that eating with people with good appetites is really good for appetite.
Thinking of Prince Rui's elegant appearance during dinner yesterday, and looking at the fighting strength of Prince Zhong's family during dinner, Gu Rujiu had an inexplicable affection for them.
Probably this is the person who loves to eat, and the popularity will not be too bad.
I thought that the father, son, father and daughter ate so much at noon. After arriving at Kangquan Palace, they would definitely not be able to eat the snacks that the Queen Mother entertained them. How could they know that they not only ate them, but also ate them cleanly.
It's no wonder that these three people, including Princess Rongnan, are very strong, and their fighting power is extraordinary.
In the end, King Zhong walked out of the palace contentedly with the dim sum recipe given by Gu Rujiu. When he returned to his residence, he suddenly realized that the recipe he took was given by the queen.
Didn't you say that you hate the queen and are going to show her some color
King Zhong looked at the dim sum recipe in his hand in confusion, and remembered the gentle appearance of the queen when she was in the palace. He scratched his head anxiously, and turned to his son and daughter: "What do you think of the queen?"
Princess Rongnan nodded: "Very good." It's still very beautiful.
Jin Hong is more stable than his younger sister. He pondered: "The queen and the emperor have a very good relationship. During lunch today, I saw that your majesty brought the wrong soup cup."
"Huh?" King Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked at his son, expecting him to say something.
"Many couples' deep love can be performed, but my son thinks that the relationship between the emperor and the queen is not like what the rumors say, but it is really good," Jin Hong thought for a while and continued, "Your Majesty takes After opening the lid of the wrong soup cup, he found out that he had taken it wrong, but he continued to use the soup without hesitation, indicating that he and the queen often used each other's utensils in private. less than that."
"Hmm..." Prince Zhong nodded, rubbing his chin, "You're right, is there anything else?"
"And... and..." Jin Hong hesitated for a moment, "I suspect that Your Majesty is a little scared."
"Yeah!" King Zhong widened his eyes and looked around. After confirming that there were no other servants in the house, he said in a hoarse voice, "How did you see that?"
"Your Majesty's personal eunuch is very servile in front of the Empress, and when the Empress speaks, His Majesty always has a face..." Jin Hong frowned, trying to find a suitable description, "It's a picture similar to the Empress. I can't describe this expression, but it tells me that if the Queen nodded, His Majesty would definitely not object."
"Ouch, how can this be good?" King Zhong patted his thigh, shaking his head and sighing, "No wonder the eldest Princess Deyi wrote a letter saying that the demon queen will harm the country, is it because she has already seen this?"
His brows were almost knotted: "If this is the case, things will be troublesome."
"Father, my son thinks that the eldest eldest Princess Deyi is impure, and what she said is not credible," Jin Hong recalled the queen's words and deeds, "and the son thinks that the queen will not be a demon empress, and her relationship with His Majesty good relationship."
King Zhong rubbed his chin in a contemplative gesture, and finally looked down at the dim sum recipe in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of enchantress he is or not, we won't be involved in these things anyway, let him be the east wind or the west wind, what does it have to do with us. "
After Jin Hong heard it, he stopped talking, but he was a little envious. It would be nice if his relationship with his wife could be as close as the empress.
In the house of the eldest princess Deyi, Deyi showed a bit of dissatisfaction when she heard that King Zhong had entered the capital. She wrote two letters to King Zhong, but the other party never replied. She heard that King Zhong was acting recklessly, but she didn't expect it to be so arrogant, even her eldest princess didn't care.
"His Royal Highness, King Rui has sent someone to bring you something." Deyi's personal maid came in and handed her a gift list, "It's a special product of the fief, it's worthless, I'm just giving you a taste of it. ."
Deyi opened the gift list and read it again, and said with a sneer: "This King Rui is not a good thing. He has put on a good posture, and he doesn't know how bad his plans are."
She doesn't like today, but it doesn't mean how much she likes Prince Rui's family. In her opinion, today is the direct son of Prince Cheng, and his biological mother is the Sima family. Compared with Prince Rui, the ominous prince from birth To come noble.
"Don't say that, Your Highness," Mammy reminded in a low voice, "It's not good for others to hear."
Now that the steward of the Princess Mansion is sent by the emperor, who knows what the mind of this steward is
"There is no one to worry about," Deyi threw the gift list aside and sipped his tea, "Let someone prepare a return gift, this palace is not willing to take advantage of the price of Prince Rui's mansion."
"Yes." Mammy glanced at the gift list, bowed and walked out.
After there was no one else in the house, De Yi secretly scolded: "The wolf's ambition is daring!"
No matter how confused she is, she still knows that there is a bottom line. Ruiwang's family seems to be gentle, but their ambitions are no smaller than anyone else's. I don't know if I know King Rui's ambitions today
Thinking of the queen who made him unsatisfied, Deyi took a break from reminding the emperor, and let them fight each other. Anyway, as long as it is the world of the Jin family, no matter who is the emperor, she is still the eldest princess.
"Bang!" She threw away the teacup in her hand and looked at the steaming broken ceramic pieces on the ground. She suddenly raised her voice: "Someone, come here!"
The maids who were guarding outside heard that the princess's voice was wrong, so they rushed in: "Princess, what's the matter with you?"
"Princess, why are your hands shaking so badly?"
"Go and get a doctor!"
Hearing the frightened voices of the maids, De Yi closed his eyes and "stunned" with confidence.
When people are old and have physical problems, they can only let their children take care of their illnesses and thank them behind closed doors.
