The queen mother was not surprised by Shen Jin's arrival, instead she had the room cleaned up, and she was not seen or even sent to her side.
Although An Yi and the others had already been picked up by the people in the palace, they did not start to pack their things because of Shen Jin's order. At this time, after arriving in the Empress Dowager's Palace, a few people started to tidy up their things, and Shen Jin did not bring them How much luggage enters the palace, so it is not difficult to pack it up.
The empress dowager arranged for Shen Jin to be a side hall, which was not a big one, but it was fully furnished, and there was also a separate small kitchen. Because the empress dowager had ordered it, it was packed up separately, and even the things were delivered. The things in Shen Jin’s kitchen They were all assigned by the Queen Mother, and before Shen Jin could pack them up, the Queen also sent the things over, saying that Shen Jin would come according to the rules of Princess Ruyang in the future.
At this time, Shen Jin had already fallen asleep in the cleaned-up inner room, the bed curtain was carefully covered, An Ning was guarding outside, and An Yuan and the others all lowered their voices to pack their things, so they would not disturb Shen Jin.
Compared with Shen Jin's ease and ease, the palace of Ganlu is covered with dark clouds. Concubine Lu's honor is only because she is pregnant with the dragon's heir and Emperor Cheng's favor. Now she doesn't even have the right to step out of Ganlu Palace, so Concubine Lu lowered her eyes slightly to look at her stomach, and can only wait for the child to be born.
Emperor Cheng got angry in Ganlu Palace and didn't want to go anywhere else, so he went directly to Concubine Lan's palace.
Concubine Lan is now in her thirties, so naturally she is no longer young, but she has a certain attitude, so that even if Emperor Cheng likes Concubine Lu and the others, she will come to Concubine Lan to sit and rest for two days every month, so naturally there is no concubine Lan in the palace. People dare to neglect.
When Emperor Cheng came, Concubine Lan was eating. She used very simple dishes, but four dishes and one soup, among which were three vegetables and one meat, which made Emperor Cheng lose his temper when he saw it, but Concubine Lan said softly, " Your Majesty, come and taste it, this is planted by my concubine in the small garden, I wanted to try how it tastes, if it is good, I will invite Your Majesty tomorrow."
"Huh." Emperor Cheng knew that Concubine Lan specially asked someone to open a small garden in the palace and planted a lot of these things. He didn't take it to heart, but he didn't want it to be usable. He said with a smile, "Even so, Aifei also used it too simply."
Concubine Lan smiled when she heard the words, and just said, "I don't need to use so much by myself. Your Majesty is here, just let them make some more." After the queen knew that Concubine Lan could not conceive, she also opened the small kitchen here Yes, it is also convenient for people to send some things.
Emperor Cheng heard the words and said, "Just add a few more meat dishes."
Concubine Lan nodded, and ordered the maid beside her to go to the small kitchen. The few dishes she mentioned were Emperor Cheng's preference. Seeing Concubine Lan like this, Emperor Cheng felt much more at ease. Concubine Lan went to get some tea in person. , made tea for Emperor Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, you have a taste. I found some dried fruits in this tea a few days ago, and it tastes good."
Emperor Cheng glanced at it, but didn't say anything, and sang a mouthful. It had a fruity aroma, which overwhelmed the taste of tea, a little sweet and sour, not bad, but it was liked by women. Concubine Lan saw Emperor Cheng taste it. After that, he took the rest and drank it by himself, brewed it again for Emperor Cheng and said, "I just want His Majesty to taste it."
"Naughty." Emperor Cheng said with a smile.
Concubine Lan smiled when she heard the words and did not speak. The tea had just been brewed, and the maids had already removed all the things just now, and brought new dishes. Emperor Cheng and Concubine Lan used them together. Talking, but Concubine Lan was useless, she just served Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Cheng used a lot without knowing it, and finally drank another bowl of soup.
After finishing the meal, Emperor Cheng's mood improved a lot. Concubine Lan didn't ask anything, but when Emperor Cheng told Concubine Lan about the matter of Ganlu Palace, Concubine Lan frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat displeased tone. , "It stands to reason that concubine shouldn't say anything about Concubine Lu, but she is like this, which actually drags down His Majesty. It really shouldn't be."
Emperor Cheng felt a little displeased when he heard the words, and felt that Concubine Lan was speaking for Shen Jin. Concubine Lan continued as if she didn't know, "Mrs. It's just the status of His Majesty's niece, Concubine Lu said that... no wonder Princess Ruyang felt uncomfortable at that time."
Concubine Lan's voice was soft, and she looked at Emperor Cheng full of sincerity, "Even the concubine feels angry."
Emperor Cheng immediately understood that Concubine Lan was really angry that Concubine Lu was hurting her reputation. In fact, it was true. No matter how you say it, Shen Jin was also the princess of the imperial family. Using her with a prostitute was not only insulting Mrs. Yongninghou is also the princess of Tianqi and the niece of Emperor Cheng.
"Concubine Lu is young and ignorant." Emperor Cheng also felt uncomfortable, but now he still likes Concubine Lu, so he defended it.
Concubine Lan wasn't angry either, she just said, "I think the empress thinks so too, that's why I arranged for Sister Lu Concubine in this way."
Emperor Cheng nodded, and Concubine Lan frowned and said, "It's just that Mrs. Hou is also so noisy in the palace... If outsiders know, I'm afraid they will misunderstand Your Majesty."
"En." Emperor Cheng was dissatisfied in his heart, if not for this, he would not be in such a difficult situation today.
Concubine Lan lowered her eyes slightly, poured another cup of tea for Emperor Cheng, and said, "I know that Your Majesty loves my niece. In fact, it is good that the princess really lives in the queen mother's palace. The queen mother is an elder, and if the princess makes trouble... But the princess is also You really have a temper." Before he finished speaking, Emperor Cheng was already satisfied.
Emperor Cheng put his arms around Concubine Lan and said, "Concubine Lan knows my heart."
Concubine Lan responded softly, "I hope that His Majesty is in good health, and I hope that His Majesty will always be happy."
Emperor Cheng laughed loudly. In fact, in the final analysis, it was Concubine Lan's words that entered Emperor Cheng's mind. Why could Shen Jin be the Marquis of Yongning? Not the Marquis of Yongning, and Shen Jin dared to cry in the palace, isn't it because of his status as the princess? Although he felt that Shen Jin had caused him a lot of trouble, Emperor Cheng felt a lot more at ease. If Shen Jin was on his side, there would be more things that could work.
The position of Mrs. Yongning Hou is not only valuable but also very useful.
In the border town, Chu Xiuyuan is currently in charge, and Chu Xiuming secretly led his troops away. He went to meet Xu Yuan and others. So far, there is no news from Xu Yuan, but he promised Xu Yuan to count the days It's about time. In fact, before that, Chu Xiuming had already dispatched people to the pick-up location.
In this way, Chu Xiuming naturally couldn't take Dongdong with him, and could only leave Dongdong in the care of Concubine Chen, but it was okay at night, and Dongdong had been raised by Chu Xiuming during the day, and his temper was a bit wild, so naturally he didn't want to Staying in the house, Chu Xiuyuan also felt sorry for his nephew, so he hugged Dongdong all day long, and carried him wherever he went, and sent it to Concubine Chen at night, and Dongdong's whole life There is nothing wrong with Zhao Mama and the others taking care of the three meals a day.
Dongdong is also well-behaved. He only cried and made a fuss two days before Chu Xiuming left, but now he is not making trouble anymore. He just sits on the soft couch specially made for him, playing with Jiulianhuan in his hand, and looks at it from time to time. Looking at the people below, they seemed to be able to understand, and occasionally said ah, as if they agreed.
Zhao Duan and the others are used to it. Sometimes General Lin and the others would bring things to play with Dongdong, but this was the first time King Rui saw such a situation. He knew how important he was, although he was dissatisfied Chu Xiuming left and handed over the affairs of the border town to Chu Xiuyuan instead of himself, but seeing Zhao Duan's appearance and the things he couldn't understand, King Rui was honest, even though he was forced to come here every day In the meeting room, they never expressed any opinions, but just listened, when the discussion reached a stage today, several generals left first, and when Zhao Duan and Manager Wang stayed to continue to deal with the affairs, they suddenly said, "How can I Does Dongdong look familiar?"
Zhao Guanshi and Zhao Duan looked at each other, and then Chu Xiuyuan wiped Dongdong's saliva with a handkerchief and said, "I guess it's because Dongdong and his sister-in-law are somewhat similar when they were young."
Zhao Duan also laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, Dongdong is your grandson, so he should look familiar."
In fact, King Rui couldn't remember clearly, and he didn't even remember what Shen Jin was like when he was a child. After hearing the words, he said, "That's right." King Rui was more interested in this granddaughter who resembled him, "But Dongdong is quite obedient and doesn't make trouble."
Chu Xiuyuan hugged Dongdong into his arms, and Anping brought the custard. Chu Xiuyuan asked Dongdong to sit on the special small table, tied him a bag, and let him eat by himself. It was embroidered by the concubine, and there were a few little yellow ducks on it. Dong Donghai couldn't hold the spoon steadily, but he lowered his head and grabbed the spoon to keep eating egg custard. He ate it all over the table. Zhao Duan thought of his son when he looked at it. When I was young, I laughed and said, "Is Dongdong delicious?"
Dongdong remembered that his father said that he could not speak when there was something in his mouth, so he swallowed the thing in his mouth first, and then said, "That's a good time!" It looks extraordinarily cute, but it's still not as pleasing to look at when it was chubby before. After all, it's thinner.
Zhao Duan didn't dislike it either, he wiped Dongdong's face and said, "Then eat more."
Dongdong nodded, continued to lower his head and tried to eat, but King Rui lost his mind again, he just felt that Dongdong looked familiar... But such a big child... After thinking about it, he didn't take it to heart, seeing that he didn't care about himself It's time to go back home.
Zhao Duan then asked, "Major General, is this really good?"
Chu Xiuyuan opened his mouth and said, "My brother told me, I think it comes from my brother's thoughts."
Zhao Duan didn't say anything when he heard the words, and when King Rui returned to the mansion, he saw Princess Rui playing shuttlecock with some maids, and Shen Qi was also sitting with the orb to count for Princess Rui. Wang never knew that Princess Rui could play shuttlecock. He always thought that what Princess Rui liked was such elegant things as painting.
Seeing King Rui, Princess Rui directly kicked the shuttlecock to someone else, and said, "Why did your lord come back so early today?"
"Oh, I'll be back when I'm fine." King Rui didn't react for a while, Princess Rui had asked the maid to pack up, and she also went into the inner room, and let the maid take care of her grooming.
After Shen Qi greeted King Rui, he took his daughter and left first. King Rui followed Princess Rui, and suddenly asked, "Princess, do you think Dongdong looks familiar?"
"Dongdong is girl Jin's son, so he looks familiar." Princess Rui laughed.
King Rui shook his head and said nothing more.
