Chapter 56: Bingdilian
Yun Fenghuang only mentioned a few words of curiosity about the appearance of Yongchunhou's future wife, but it was a coincidence that when she went to Woxia Tower to pay her respects two days later, the queen asked everyone to disperse, leaving her and Concubine De alone to discuss the banquet. Regarding the matter of drinking, he said: "At that time, add two seats. Yesterday, a person from the palace went to the Dijing Inn to deliver something and brought back a message: The wife of the magistrate wants all the daughters to come to pay her respects. The palace Thinking about it, we are old now and don't like to be disturbed, so we might as well let them pack up for a few days and come over to the banquet, and then we can meet together at that time."
Hearing that Concubine Concubine De and Concubine De both showed smiles that were not smiles.
Although the queen said it tactfully, why didn't the two of them figure it out?
All the daughters came to pay their respects...
This family probably has tasted the sweetness of Israel Xingjin, so they hope that all their daughters will be admitted to the high school.
The so-called greetings are just to hope that other daughters can also get the favor of the royal family, so as to have a good future.
Ordinarily, it is reasonable for parents to want to find a good way out for their children. It's just... this is too impatient.
Anyway, wait until the seat of Mrs. Yongchun Hou is confirmed, then make plans, right?
However, considering the family's previous official positions, they were officials in the eyes of Li Shu after all. Looking at it from the height of the temple, it is unavoidably too low-level. It is reasonable to be so impatient.
Yun Fenghuang then said with a smile: "Your Majesty told me, I've made a note of it, and I will definitely arrange a seat near the front for them when the time comes."
It also happened to let them see clearly, what kind of beauty is she, worthy of being married by the Marquis of Yongchun?
Because of the limited status and power of Marquis Yongchun, the concubines didn't say much about his future in-laws.
After discussing about the banquet for a while, Gu Zhen hesitated, and said another thing: "I heard that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is not well recently."
"But I don't know what's wrong with her old man?" The relationship between the noble concubine and the concubine De and the loving mother, the empress dowager, is definitely not good.
If something happened to the empress dowager, they couldn't be more happy.
So when I heard the words, my expression was very relaxed, and I just said, "Have you asked the imperial doctor to see it? What did the imperial doctor say?"
Concubine De added: "I have some medicinal materials that His Majesty rewarded me two years ago, but I don't need them at this age, can I send them to my loving mother, the Empress Dowager?"
That's all she said... The queen glanced at her, and said lightly: "The loving mother, the empress dowager, there is no shortage of imperial physicians and medicinal materials. As for what the imperial physicians said, I am not very clear. I just want to ask you, Shall we go and visit together?"
In fact, the queen herself doesn't like the loving mother, the empress dowager, and she wished that something would happen to the empress dowager sooner.
It's just that she is the middle palace, and with her status, she naturally has obligations.
For noble concubines and concubines, filial piety is the best thing to do, and it is understandable that they are not thorough enough, after all, they are just concubines.
But if the queen is negligent, she will be criticized for not being virtuous enough.
Now Gu Zhen can only endure his depression and discuss with the second concubine about visiting the sick: "I plan to let Xiao Liu go to serve the sick."
This is definitely the inspiration from letting the Seventh Prince serve in front of the bed when the Empress Dowager fell ill...Leave a child there to serve on her behalf, so she doesn't need to worry about it all the time, but she can explain it to the outside world...
only……
Yun Fenghuang said: "Sixth prince...is it convenient?"
As for the question of whether to be willing or not, of course it is not something that they, who are already mothers, need to consider.
Filial piety is emphasized these days, and the empress ordered that the sixth prince, whether he likes it or not, has to go.
It's just that in Yun Fenghuang's impression, the sixth prince himself is a soft-tempered person, after the smallpox left traces, his appearance plummeted, and he became more and more inferior and silent.
The seventh prince is not a noisy child, but the seventh prince is gentle and generous, cheerful and honest, so he can naturally please the elders.
But the sixth prince is different, the elders like the sixth prince who like him may feel a little distressed, but if they don't like him, they will only dislike him.
All in all, it is not suitable for caring for sick elders.
Naturally, Yun Fenghuang would not put himself in Empress Dowager Yuan's shoes. The reason why he raised this point was because: "The sixth prince usually doesn't like to see people. With such a dull temperament, even the loving mother Empress Dowager will feel distressed when she sees it." On the contrary, it made her feel uncomfortable for the old man, and it became more and more difficult to rest. From the perspective of my concubine, it is better to send another prince to go there together. Just like the empress dowager before, it was Xiaoqi and the tenth prince who changed shifts together. If so The six princes passed away one by one because they were afraid of not taking good care of them, and the second was because they were afraid that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, would think too much of her."
The empress pondered the imperial concubine's intentions, and said cautiously: "But the other children in front of me have something to do, is it possible that the imperial concubine intends to let the children in front of me go?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "The concubine wants to share her worries, but Qin Wang and Xiao Jiu were assassinated, and they were still in shock. Presumably the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, would not want them to serve non-stop right now; Over there, it’s the same reason; Fifteen is too young! Speaking of the emperor, Zhaoqing, as the eldest daughter, should actually serve the empress dowager the most, but her legs, alas... the ninth emperor is also a little girl. Or, the second princess?"
The queen frowned immediately, the second princess was no stranger to the sixth prince.
When Concubine Rou Kunxian was still there, the two children were raised together under Rou Kun's lap.
At that time, the sixth prince was completely beaten by the second prince.
If the two children go to the Empress Dowager Yuan together, the Empress is confident that the Sixth Prince will never take the initiative to find fault, but the Second Empress will take the initiative to make troubles, and the Empress Dowager Yuan will definitely be happy to see the battle between the middle palace and the noble concubine, let alone show up It subsided, and it was necessary to add fuel to the flames...
It's so troublesome...
The queen then said: "The second princess is not appropriate. After all, the emperor's heirs are getting older now. How can they not avoid suspicion as they were when they were young? You also said just now that when the empress dowager fell ill, it was the two princes who went to serve her." Yes, since that's the case, on the side of the loving mother Empress Dowager, I see, let the second prince and the sixth prince go together."
After much deliberation, she found that the second prince was the most suitable.
Because she is not in front of the imperial concubine, she is also older, more sensible and calm, her temperament is also quiet and honest, and she will not take the initiative to cause trouble...
In a situation similar to that of the sixth prince, the possibility of the wife's mediocre illness being over is relatively high.
The imperial concubine thought for a while, but didn't argue, she just said "yes", and then talked about other things.
It made the queen a little paranoid, always thinking that she had some kind of plan to refute her original proposal and insist on forcing a prince in.
But Yun Fenghuang quickly finished talking and left.
After returning to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, she said to the left and right: "The third prince was instigated by someone since he was a child. Although nothing was found on the second prince's side, they are all princes of the Ji family. Just look at it differently, but give up on the second prince completely? I think it's better to try it out. However, the Cui family has been quite respectful to me over the years, so I don't want to do anything openly. With the help of the queen this time, Let the second prince go to the loving empress dowager for a while, and hope that the loving empress dowager will not disappoint this palace."
Then he asked, "What's wrong with the loving mother Empress Dowager? Is it important? A few days ago, didn't she say that her pulse condition was steady, and she seemed to have a long life?"
She was disappointed when she heard that.
Although the Empress Dowager Yuan had learned her lessons in the past two years and did not dare to do things recklessly, she was not happy to have such a special status, high-ranking and intelligent master staring at her.
"I heard that the servant girl is just a little anorexic." Chen Jing said, "Actually, I haven't had any appetite for two days so far. The imperial doctor prescribed some medicine, saying that it might be because of fear of summer. But now they are all in the mountains, the most shaded However, what is there to be afraid of in summer? Maybe it’s because you’re tired on the road, and you can change it in two days. If it’s not possible, it’s almost enough to change your appetite by changing the cook... The empress is probably afraid that your majesty will complain that she is not enough for the empress dowager when she finds out Filial piety."
No, the queen is not only afraid of the emperor's complaints, but also afraid that if she does not act "filially", the emperor will personally honor her adoptive mother and give more...
Yun Fenghuang knew something in his heart, and nodded slightly: "I just said it, I didn't hear you take the initiative to report it before, so it must not be a big deal."
Just disappointed.
Just as he was talking, there was crackling outside, but it was raining.
The waiters hurriedly went to close the window, and then they closed it. There was a sound of kicking outside, and then the voices of girls laughing and laughing were heard.
Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows: "Call them in!"
After a while, Princess Zhaoqing took the lead, and several imperial daughters, Xie Kuo and Xie Mu held lotus flowers and leaves, and filed in with great interest.
After seeing the ceremony, the princess said to Yun Fenghuang in a good mood: "Mother Concubine, what do you think I picked? It's a coincidence."
As he spoke, he handed over a Bingdilian.
"You guys went to the back mountain?" Yun Fenghuang took Bing Dilian and laughed dumbfoundedly, "It's a coincidence..."
If Zhaoqing was in front of her, she would take advantage of the opportunity to talk about the blind date banquet soon, and make some jokes, but other people were also there, and if they made fun of it, Zhaoqing might become angry, so Yun Fenghuang thought for a while , just passing by, but asked what they played today.
"I made an appointment with Sister Xincheng to go swimming in the lake two days ago, but after the accident with the elder brother and the ninth younger brother, no one was in the mood." When Princess Zhaoqing was present, she always answered this kind of thing. Crisply said, "No, now that the ninth brother is healed, the sons and ministers went to the back mountain to play for a while? We also caught some fish, which will be stewed for the mother and concubine later, and also for the elder brother and the ninth brother." Send some over there to replenish your body."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and praised her for being sensible and considerate. Seeing that the second, third, fourth, and ninth emperors were all there, there were probably some raindrops on her clothes. It must have happened when it suddenly rained just now, so she sent someone to cook in the small kitchen Here comes the ginger soup.
Just about to have a good chat with these girls, he saw Chie gesturing outside, implying that there is something urgent to report.
The imperial concubine changed her mind, she got up and left the main hall under the pretext of changing clothes, and went to the back.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Shanyuan Temple." Chi E quickly detoured and said in a low voice, "The mother and daughter of the Qian family have discovered something."
