Qin Yining was in the palace. Although he was in the center of the storm circle, he did not feel any major abnormality. At least for now, as long as she follows the rules, it will be fine. In the face of Princess Tana's often unreasonable troubles, she only needs four or two thousand pounds of support to get past it.
"Seeing February, although the weather in the capital is not as warm as in the old capital, it is possible to put away all the furry clothes." Ji Yun smiled and took out the thick spring clothes in Concubine Yang's color and put them on the dressing room. Qin Yining, who was in front of him, said, "Thanks we were fully prepared when we came, or we didn't have spring clothes yet."
Bingtang took a hairpin and compared it behind Qin Yining's peony bun. Looking at Qin Yining in the mirror, she smiled and said, "Yes, who would have thought that if I lived in this palace for so long, I would be envious of many women outside."
Qin Yining laughed, and smoothed the colorless lipstick on his lips with his tail finger. She has always been low-key in the palace, and even dressed as plainly as possible, so as not to take away the brilliance of the nobles and cause people to hate.
"Okay, let's just live in peace. When we can go back, the sage will naturally tell us to go out. Jiyun."
Qin Yining stopped Ji Yun and said with a smile, "If you don't wear this, it's too delicate. Find a plain one. And the hairpin, also choose a plain one. Don't want this one."
Sushou took off the Cuihua headpin on her head and asked Bingtang to put on her face again.
Ji Yun looked at the clothes in his arms, sighed helplessly, and turned to find a long lake blue dress and an ivory white jacket.
"The princess is too wronged. You can't even wear anything here. They are not as good-looking as you. That's their own business, but you have to take care of their mood and don't dare to dress up. It's a grievance." Bingtang Helpless and angry, she found another elegant hosta.
After Qin Yining was dressed properly, he smiled to reassure the two: "If you want to dress up, how can we dress up when we return to the mansion? Isn't it free? If you dress up too much now, it will only attract people's hatred. You don't see me being silent on weekdays. , that one still looks like a chicken with black eyes."
Bingtang listened to her description, and her smile trembled, "Isn't it a black-eyed chicken? At first, the slaves thought that she wanted revenge for Anari Khan's affairs. Although she was hateful at the time, her behavior was at least for the sake of Anari Khan. National hatred and family hatred have merit.
"Who knows that when she sees you, her face is full of jealousy. It is clearly jealous of your appearance. Obviously, she will avenge Anari Khan behind her neck. You are not the concubine of the Holy One, so can she be jealous of you? ."
"Who knows what she thinks in her heart." Qin Yining smiled and said indifferently: "Since she doesn't like me, I naturally don't do anything right, just let her go, just stick with it for a while. already."
Having said that, but who knows how long it will end
Ji Yun and Bingtang didn't say much, and brought Qin Yining the breakfast from the kitchen. Bingtang had been inspected as usual, and only given to Qin Yining to make sure it was non-toxic.
While eating, there was a sudden movement outside.
Qin Yining put down the spoon and looked towards the door.
Ji Yun walked over quickly, bent over and put his ear against the closed rhombus lattice door, listening to the voices outside.
"It seems that someone from Kunning Palace has come."
Qin Yining blinked suspiciously, then lowered his eyes and took up the hot tea to rinse his mouth.
At this time, the voice was close. Immediately, a little palace maid knocked on the door of the palace.
"Prince Hui Zhongshun, there is an decree from Kunning Palace."
Qin Yining stood up and walked to the front of the hall, signaling Jiyun to open the door.
Ji Yun nodded, opened the door, the morning light illuminated a place in front of the door, Qin Yining squinted his eyes to adjust to the light, and saw a man in a dark green palace dress with a round bun and a man standing under the robe. It really was Mammy Sun, a close confidant beside the Queen of Kunning Palace.
"It turned out to be Grandma Sun." Qin Yining got down from Dan Chi with a smile, walked to the front and bowed her knees.
"I don't dare to be a maid." Grandma Sun hurriedly avoided her and said politely, "My maid, please greet the princess."
"Mammy Sun is exempt from the ceremony. But what orders does the Empress do?"
Grandma Sun said with a smile: "Yes, the Queen Mother invited Wang Concubine Kunning Palace to go to the palace. The Queen Mother saved the Queen's stupor in the past two days. The Queen has nothing to do and wants to make two pairs of shoes for the Queen Mother and her old man. I know the Queen Mother. With family background and good eyesight, the queen wanted to invite the princess to choose flowers to make shoe uppers together."
There are many outstanding maids in the palace, and there are also excellent embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop waiting for the queen to choose. Where can I get her to be a "halfway monk" and talkative
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's the mother-in-law who loves, and the minister's wife will go over."
Grandma Sun smiled and nodded, turning sideways to make a gesture of please.
Qin Yining also saluted and called Bingtang and Jiyun to follow.
However, just two steps away, a sarcastic laughter came from the main hall.
Princess Tana stood in front of the palace door with her arms folded, playing with her curly hair hanging by her ear with one hand, and sneered: "The Empress is very kind-hearted, so just take care of the wife when you have nothing to do with it. Will Xiugong still treat Qin Shi badly?"
"Since Concubine Shun said what you said, how would you treat women with foreign orders badly? Isn't this just in time for the empress dowager not to be sluggish, and the queen wants to do her filial piety when she has time." Sun Momo smiled and saluted Princess Tana. " As the mother of a country, the empress and concubine should be sympathetic to the six palaces, and Princess Zhongshun is also a woman of foreign orders. If the sage hadn't sympathized with concubine Shun and ordered Princess Zhongshun to accompany her, she would not have been left in the palace. It’s been so long since I’ve lived here. The Queen’s concubine’s concern for the wangfei is also for the concubine Shun, do you think it’s true or not?”
Princess Tana's face flushed instantly. This old mama's implication is that because she is too stupid and can't learn etiquette and Da Zhou dialect, Qin Yining will stay in the palace for so long and continue to teach her!
But everyone in the palace knows that she was just making an excuse in front of the sage. The sage agreed to her because he favored her. Now people stay here to relieve her boredom. Even the queen mother doesn't care. Queen But it's always interfering, which is really annoying.
Princess Tana's Da Zhou's words are not very slippery, and if you want to scold people, you need to organize the language. I wanted to scold people in Tatar dialect, but these people couldn't understand them, and they scolded them in vain.
When she was tangled, Sun Momo had already bowed her politely for several times, and took Qin Yining and his party out.
Princess Tana could only jump on the spot in anger.
After leaving Chuxiu Palace, Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Mammy Sun all the way to Kunning Palace.
The queen had been waiting for Qin Yining for a long time, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "You are here, come and help me see these tricks. I can't tell which one I should choose no matter how I look at them."
"Yes." Qin Yining bowed his knees in response, turned around and told Ji Yun and Bingtang not to follow, and followed the queen to the side hall alone.
It was cold in the spring, and the heated kang in the side hall by the window was still warm. The queen sat down and raised her finger wearing an agate ring to the opposite side of the kang table, "You too, sit down, it's very cold on the ground."
"Many thanks to the Empress." Qin Yining thanked her generously and sat down opposite the Empress.
The queen took the needle and thread dustpan and placed it on the kang table, and screened the middle officials and palace servants around.
Qin Yining became more and more certain that the Empress had something to tell her, her nerves tightened, and she watched the movements outside the hall with some worry.
The queen said in a low voice, "This palace shouldn't have come to you. Just after thinking about it, I feel that this is not a trivial matter. You should let you know the news that you are not allowed to go out in the palace.
"You saved Brother Hao under Concubine Yun that day, and you are also sincerely protecting Ben Gong. If Ben Gong knew this and didn't tell you, I would always feel bad about my conscience."
Qin Yining's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She looked at the queen with clear almond eyes, her eyes were clean and harmless, which made the queen feel more and more pitiful, and she couldn't help sighing:
"Oh, in the end, this is a matter between men, and it has nothing to do with us women. Tell you, it doesn't matter if you only know it in your heart. This palace heard that the sage issued a decree a few days ago to send Lord Qin to heaven. Yuguan Yanjun has gone."
Reward the army
Although her father was the Minister of Rites and Li Qitian's attention earlier, he found that the current situation was very complicated. Qin Yining never believed that Li Qitian would trust Qin Huaiyuan enough to arrange him to go to the army.
Besides, Ji Zeyu has contributed greatly to the defeat of the Tatars in the north. Even if he wants to reward the army, it should be Ji Zeyu. How can it be an irrelevant person's turn
"Empress Empress, is it my father alone who is here this time, or is Duke Ding also with me?"
"As far as I know, your father is the only one, and Duke Ding is still in the capital."
"Which day did that happen? I didn't get any news at all."
The queen shook her head, and it was hard to say extra words, so she just said: "It seems to have started the day before yesterday."
Qin Yining nodded thoughtfully, holding the embroidery pattern in his hand, looking a little stunned.
The queen sighed and said, "It's all you need to know, this palace is seeing you being held in the palace and being tortured by the Tatar woman every day. If you don't know about this important matter, I want to tell you.
"These men's troubles are all shouting and killing, but what does it have to do with us women? I can't see anyone being involved in this way, but I can't do anything about it. The sage didn't let you know about this, but I didn't either. I don't know if I should tell you, but..."
When the queen said that at the end, her voice was fading, and there was hesitation in her voice.
She knew that there was a disagreement between Pang Xiao and Li Qitian. Sometimes she also feels that she is not good at interfering in matters between men. However, Qin Yining sincerely defended her, and even saved her son. This incident was full of strangeness. She knew that the signs were not right. If she didn't remind Qin Yining, she would feel bad about it.
Besides, she just revealed a piece of news, and didn't do anything directly. Qin Yining was in the palace, knowing that her father had gone to the border to reward the army, she only knew the news, and it didn't interfere with major matters, and it shouldn't interfere with the sage. She would be too ungrateful if she wouldn't even reveal a word.
Qin Yining vaguely knew what the Empress was thinking, so she suppressed the shock and all kinds of thinking about the news for the time being, smiled and said to the Empress, "Thank you Empress, the court lady is very grateful."
The queen smiled and shook her head, and said sternly: "It's not worth anything, but..."
"Prince Zhongshun, what is there to thank the Queen for?"
A male voice suddenly interjected, and the embroidered stretches in the shocked queen's hands fell on her knees.
