Chapter 508: The Idea of Sisters Marrying Together
Cold sweat began to break out on Mrs. Tai's forehead. She discovered that Zhi had an accident and instinctively felt that she had caught Shao Wanru's hand. But at the moment, she couldn't justify it.
"This... this concubine... I can't think of it for a moment!" The madam tried hard to keep her calm, lowered her head in embarrassment, and said.
The Queen Mother waved her hand indifferently, her eyes still fell on the picture album, and she smiled while thinking, "It's normal that you don't know. Originally, this kind of thing is the wisdom of Yuhui'an, and it may have something to do with Buddhism, Pushan The master is an eminent monk at Yuhui Temple, so the albums she drew are not so easy for people to appreciate."
Shao Yanru also frowned tightly and pursed her lips. Thinking of what Master Pushan told her after going up the mountain, an idea flashed in her mind.
"If the Queen Mother really wants to know, how about asking Master Pushan to come down the mountain?" She suggested cautiously.
These words reminded the two ladies beside them, who nodded repeatedly: "If the Queen Mother wants to know the meaning of Master Pushan, why not invite Master Pushan down the mountain."
"Yes, I can't tell you that this is a Buddhist message, but it's really interesting!"
Madams and old ladies from other families can always go up the mountain to worship Buddha, but it is inconvenient for the Queen Mother in the deep palace to travel, especially to Yuhui Nunnery, which houses the concubines of the late emperor. If the Queen Mother travels to Yuhui Nunnery, An, maybe it will trigger some other discussions.
Yuhui Nunnery is different from Huaguang Temple. Even if the Queen Mother wants to go, she can only go to Huaguang Temple, not Yuhui Nunnery.
"Invite Master Pushan to come here?" The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, but she also felt that it was feasible.
"When I was studying painting at Yu Hui'an, I occasionally mentioned the Queen Mother. Master Pushan respected her very much. She said that the Queen Mother was very talented and famous when she was young. She was also virtuous and wise. She was praised by the world for her painting career. If there is an opportunity, When you see the Queen Mother, you will definitely be shameless and ask for advice!"
Shao Yanru stood up and said respectfully.
"Oh, Master Pushan actually said that?" the Queen Mother said with a smile, and surprisingly she was a little proud.
"That's what Master Pushan said. I just relayed what she said." Shao Yanru became more and more respectful, bowed sideways, and answered softly. His actions and actions were dignified and appropriate. Older people like this kind of well-behaved manner. The girl looks very sincere and has a bit of girlish shyness, which is very convincing.
"Okay, okay, okay! The Ai family must meet Master Pushan!" The Queen Mother was happy. This reminded her of what happened in the past. When she was young, the Queen Mother was indeed famous for her talent. If it weren't for her talent, In the name of her, she would not have married the founding emperor who was not yet the emperor.
When Shao Yanru mentioned this, she had more memories of those days when she was young. Even though the Queen Mother knew that her painting was not that good, in those troubled times, someone like her was considered very talented.
"How does the Queen Mother want to invite Master Pushan into the palace?" Mrs. Xingguo Duke's mansion calmed down at this time, turned her eyes and asked with a smile.
This is good for the eldest granddaughter. If Master Pushan gets the Queen Mother's green eyes, it will be a great thing for Ru'er. It is almost like having eyes and ears next to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother can listen. Having the eyes and ears to get in, this matter is a great thing for Ru'er and the entire Xingguo Palace. Of course, she fully supports it and works hard to implement it!
"This..." The Queen Mother said happily just now, and that was all she said. At this time, she was a little stunned when she was asked.
"I heard that there is also a Buddhist hall for worshiping Buddha in the palace. I wonder who is doing the chanting?" Shao Yanru reminded softly.
"Yes, the Buddhist hall in the palace is good. You can ask Master Pushan to come and lecture for a period of time!" The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly.
There is a Buddhist hall in the palace, which is used by some concubines in the palace to worship Buddha. The emperor is alone. Most of the concubines in the palace have nothing to do. Some of the concubines in the palace are slightly older, but they have always been ignored by the emperor. It is a hobby of the palace concubines. With this hobby, at least they can clear their minds and no longer focus on competing for favors and causing trouble.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a good mood, everyone accompanied her and talked about old things in the past, and even some things from the previous dynasty. The Queen Mother present was quite old, and they had all experienced the events of the previous dynasty and the current dynasty. There are things that are sad and sad, and there are also things that are happy, and I feel the same way when talking about them.
Shao Yanru still sat down behind her original position, sitting with eyes and nose, nose and heart, with a soft smile on her face, listening quietly without saying a word.
This appearance made the elderly people like her even more, and they would praise her from time to time, but she ended up blushing with embarrassment and couldn't even raise her head.
After saying this, seeing that the Queen Mother was a little tired, all the ladies left together. The Queen Mother smiled and asked them to come back next time.
The crowd retreated. The Queen Mother touched her head and leaned on the chair. Aunt Wei stood up from behind her and stretched out her hand to massage her skillfully.
The other palace people in the hall retreated, and it was very quiet for a while.
The Queen Mother's eyes were closed, and she seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping. The look on her face became peaceful, and it was obvious that Aunt Wei was very comfortable with her massage.
"What do you think of this eldest lady from Duke Xingguo's mansion?" After a while, the Queen Mother's faint voice was heard.
While massaging the Queen Mother's acupuncture points, Aunt Wei said: "Miss Shao is gentle, she seems to have a good temper, and she is also well-behaved. I have never seen such a sensible and well-behaved young lady in so many years. , The family education of Duke Xingguo must be related to it, Miss Shao is such a good-natured person, and Miss Fifth is even more cute and sensible!"
No one else knew about the engagement between Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen. How could they not know that Aunt Wei was a confidant of the Queen Mother?
Chu Liuchen was the Empress Dowager's darling, and she loved everything. Miss Shao Wu had also fallen in love with the Empress Dowager. What's more, when the eldest Princess Ruian came into the palace every once in a while to talk to the Empress Dowager, she would always He would say that the fifth young lady was pitiful and filial, and the most sensible child.
In fact, Grandma Wei could not remember the appearance of Miss Shao Wu, but she vaguely seemed to be well-behaved and sensible, and was very delicate and beautiful.
"If Chen'er had set his sights on Miss Shao, the Ai family would be at ease!" The Queen Mother sighed heavily, unwilling to give up.
"The Queen Mother, the fifth young lady should be good too!" Aunt Wei said softly, she knew where the Queen Mother's heart was.
"Shao Wu is always too young. Although there is a grandmother like Ruian, the grandmother is always the grandmother, not as good as my own grandmother. But looking at the Xingguo Duke's house, it seems that they really don't care much about Shao Wu. Now that I mentioned it Yuhui'an mentioned Master Pushan, but did not mention Shao Wu. From now on, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion will definitely not be used by her, let alone protect Chen'er!"
The Queen Mother's voice was very slow. She had long since lost the smile she had shown when talking to several concubines before, showing a bit of displeasure.
"This...isn't there you? With you, who else would bully King Chen and Miss Shao Wu." Aunt Wei's heart suddenly twitched and she hurriedly smiled.
"The Ai family is old and will leave one day. When the Ai family leaves, what will happen to the Ai family's Chen'er?" The Queen Mother's eyes turned slightly red.
"Then what does the Queen Mother mean?" Wei Wei already felt bad in her heart, but she had to follow the Queen Mother's words and asked. The strength of her hand almost lost its control. Fortunately, after so many years of service, she had a lot of experience, so she didn't let it go. The Queen Mother knew her abnormality.
"Let Chen'er have more contact with Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru has such a face, is both talented and beautiful, and has a good reputation. More contact can always increase feelings. If she can get into Chen'er's eyes, Chen'er It would be best if you are willing to marry her. If you are not willing to let go of Shao Wu, just marry the two sisters together!"
The Queen Mother said softly.
"This...must be divided into different sizes, right?" said Granny Wei.
"The elder sister is the eldest, and the younger sister is the younger. After all, we are a family. Besides, the elder sister has a good reputation and is quite good. She is also a younger sister and a family. Is it possible that she will treat her sister badly? "The Queen Mother said casually.
"This... the eldest princess will not agree!" Nanny Wei's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly reminded the Queen Mother.
"Ruian has to be strong all her life, let's see what happens to her in the end? If she softens up on the matter of her granddaughter, the Ai family will not treat her badly, and it will also be good for Shao Wu. If the Ai family is gone, as long as the emperor is still there, there will always be If you can protect Chen'er, if you have a son and a half daughters in the future, you can be considered as leaving a root for Chen'er."
The Queen Mother sighed, with a hint of displeasure in her words.
"The Queen Mother said yes!" Seeing that the Queen Mother had already made her decision, Nanny Wei did not dare to raise any objection.
"After the arrangements are made in the Buddhist hall, let Master Pushan come and give lectures. She lives in the Buddha hall on weekdays. If she enters the palace, the eldest lady from Xingguo Duke's mansion will definitely come to the palace more often. Chen'er He also likes painting, and he is very good at it, but he rarely shows it in front of others. Let him sometimes study with Master Pushan, just take a look!"
The Queen Mother said.
Others don't know that Chu Liuchen is very good at painting, but the Queen Mother knows that this child has a quiet temperament. When he was young, he would paint in a quiet room for several hours. Sometimes his face would be as pale as snow. When he came out, he could hardly stand still. Fortunately, this hobby gave this child something to be happy about.
So even though she knew that painting was harmful to Chu Liuchen, the Queen Mother did not stop him.
"My slave is stupid, it turns out that the Queen Mother has made arrangements a long time ago." Aunt Wei complimented the Queen Mother calmly, and her subordinates continued to rub her forehead unhurriedly.
"Speaking of being stupid or not, Miss Shao is a bit too smart today, which is very bad!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, with a hint of displeasure on her face.
Master Pushan is Shao Yanru’s painting master. The way she spoke for Master Pushan just now was too obvious, which made the Queen Mother a little unhappy. A nun seemed to be able to influence Shao Yanru. The lady’s idea is really not a good thing!
"What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"Knock her a little to make her know how to behave!"
