Chapter 113: I Think You're Good in Everything
"The Queen Mother, look, this is it, it's actually a cloisonné enamel porcelain box! The little eunuch collided with Ah Shou like this, and he hid things on him unconsciously, if Ah Shou didn't think it was fast, and immediately threw it after discovering it, he would have planted this guy successfully! ”
In the main hall of Qingning Palace, Zhu Ying sat beside the Queen Mother in the center, and held the blue cloisonné enamel porcelain box that had been broken in half in front of the Queen Mother: "This is something from Qingning Palace, right?" Look at the speed of that thief's bones, he has definitely cooperated with people many times, and he is definitely a habitual thief! ”
Ever since he just came in to meet the Queen Mother, Zhang Shou has always been silent, just sitting there and watching Zhu Ying sing a one-man show alone. As for the other princess Yongping who was here today who could barely be called acquaintance, as well as the two princes, he had only seen them together at the beginning, and he never looked at them again, as if they were just unrelated people.
By occasionally looking up at Zhu Ying, he secretly looked at the queen mother who had listened to politics with a curtain. After all, now this is the first and only queen mother who has listened to politics since the founding of this dynasty, and according to Zhu Ying, she did not drag her feet when she returned to power.
According to the time when Zhu Jing, the Duke of Zhao, had made meritorious contributions and was knighted when he was the first emperor Ruizong, and the age of the emperor, Zhang Shou felt that she should be more than ten years younger than the lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion, but she was more old-fashioned than Mrs. Tai's blue regular clothes, plus the jewelry was also dark color, and her expression was more rigid and majestic, as if she was the same age as the lady.
What's even more different is that Zhu Ying's grandmother has always been kind and generous when she looks at people, and then occasionally shows a bit of sharpness and determination, but the Queen Mother is about condescending, and she has a kind of picky arrogance at all times, which is easy to confuse those who see it for the first time. Therefore, he simply remained silent like a real boy who had lived in the countryside for a long time.
It wasn't until Zhu Ying, whose voice was as crisp as a lark, finally came to an end, that Princess Yongping spoke: "Although Zhang Shou said that he reacted quickly, he only needed to scream to catch the thief, so why throw things out?" Wouldn't it be bad if it wasn't an enamel box that was broken, but something more valuable, such as a seal? ”
Zhang Shou glanced at Zhu Ying, and saw that she also looked at him first, and he even felt that he could read her eyes—it was nothing more than the expression that if you want to speak, I won't say it first...... He only thought it was funny, so he simply replied with a casual expression.
Seeing that Zhang Shou didn't plan to defend himself, Zhu Ying immediately took over the important task.
"In such a short time, how did Ah Shou know what people were sneaking into him? What if it was a knife or some other murder weapon, wouldn't he have a hundred mouths and couldn't tell? You know, we didn't search our bodies when we entered the palace! Furthermore, what if an inattentive person is run away by someone with ulterior motives? In short, if it were me, I would definitely take people down first and then talk about anything else! ”
The Queen Mother seems to have become accustomed to Zhu Ying, who has words for Zhenzhen, and went to see Zhang Shou again. Seeing that his posture was straight, his demeanor was slightly stiff, and he was as awe-inspiring as Dabin, which was clearly the same sitting posture as when he just came in, thinking that he hadn't spoken since he was first brought in by Zhu Ying, she took something from Zhu Ying's hand and handed it to a middle-aged female official standing on the side.
"Yuquan, you first see if this porcelain box belongs to Qingning Palace."
Zhang Shou just noticed that the middle-aged female official and the queen mother were dressed in the same style, but the embroidery of the clothes was more simple and elegant. At this time, he saw the female official holding the porcelain box that had been broken in half and looking at it repeatedly for a while, and finally smiled at him and bowed his head, and then shook his head: "The Queen Mother, it shouldn't be from Qingning Palace." Looking at this style, it looks like it was rewarded before. ”
Who the reward was for, the female official Yuquan didn't mention it, but Zhu Ying immediately stared at the two men and one woman sitting opposite Zhang Shou with unkind eyes. Princess Yongping was so glared at her that her heart was on fire, and she almost sneered at her, but thinking that it was simply three hundred taels of silver here, she still held back.
And when she was on the head, the second prince with a pair of phoenix eyes smiled and said, "Yingying, why are you staring at us?" You have liked those good-looking people since you were a child, regardless of men and women, young and old, even children can't escape your poisonous hands, and now it's easy to meet a talented and beautiful Ruyi Langjun, so you will leave us all aside? You're too ruthless, aren't you? ”
"What do you mean you can't escape my poisonous hands? Oh, did I swallow them, or did I get them? You men also like to take a few more glances whenever you meet a beautiful woman, but I just met a few more glances and said a few more words, so what's the matter? Besides, when I was a child, I thought that the powder makeup was jade, the ice and snow were cute, and when I grew up, I became a stupid thing and looked hateful, not one or two! ”
Princess Yongping finally couldn't help it, Huo Ran got up and asked, "Zhu Ying, who are you talking about?" ”
"I didn't name me, could it be that you are a princess, but you think you are a stupid thing?"
Seeing Zhu Ying's fierce appearance with full fire, Zhang Shou finally couldn't help laughing, and then found that there were two completely different lines of sight on the other side. square face, expression as if someone owes him three million, eyes as cold and hard as iron; The second prince, who looked like a boy and a girl, with phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, and an expression that seemed to be very kind to everyone, smiled meaningfully at him.
He didn't see anything wrong with these two princes, as if he was completely subconscious, he shouted: "Yingying! ”
Zhu Ying instinctively shut up when she heard this, and then glanced at Princess Yongping, who was trembling with anger, and said angrily: "For Ah Shou's sake, I don't care about you in general!" ”
The Queen Mother seems to have a high tolerance for the noisy quarrels of these children, and she has been silent just now, and at this time, when the dispute is over, she said lightly: "Erlang, if you still want to be grounded in the palace and can't set foot in the palace gate, then just point to Sang and scold Huai." Mingyue, you are usually calm and self-controlled, why is it like a firecracker that has been lit when you touch Yingying? ”
The second prince changed color slightly, and hurriedly got up to apologize. Princess Yongping was even more ashamed, especially when she looked down and saw Zhu Ying laughing, she was so hateful that she almost crushed her silver teeth. And at this time, it was the eldest prince who had not spoken from beginning to end standing up.
"Queen Mother, the second brother and Mingyue have always had such a temper, please calm your anger. However, Dr. Zhang only solved the mystery of the secret letter in the Shuntian Mansion last night to assist the palace Yin, and he was very tired from thinking about it, so after entering the Qingning Palace, he was so tired that he didn't say a few words, and he opened his mouth for Yingying. You let them go out of the palace early, so that Yingying doesn't feel sorry for her fiancé. ”
If this kind of language is a pun, Zhang Shou has long been immune. Therefore, as soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, he stood up with the situation: "The queen mother, the minister has been in Beijing for three days, and he only slept well for one night, and he is indeed in a trance, but it is an exaggeration to say that he is so poor that he can't answer." The minister didn't expect to be able to meet Ci Jia in person, so just like when he faced the saint in the country, the whole person was stunned. ”
As he spoke, he confidently took out the example of the day before yesterday: "At that time, the emperor gave a banquet and wine, which was originally extremely glorious, but the minister couldn't get drunk halfway, thanks to the emperor's love, he took the minister to the teacher of Gefu to sober up." Now half of the minister's mind is the passwords and numbers that he worked hard to figure out last night, and half of the fear of meeting the queen mother, of course, he can't say anything. ”
Seeing Zhang Shou's eyes glancing at her, Zhu Ying only hesitated slightly, and changed her words to mutter: "That's it, the first time I saw the Queen Mother, it was strange to be able to talk endlessly." ”
"Yingying, you, you've always been old-tempered!" The Queen Mother finally smiled dumbly, and then let go of Zhu Ying's hand and said, "Okay, let's take your Ruyi Langjun with you, so that he won't be awkward here, and you are also in a hurry." I've seen it, after all, it's your grandmother and your father who think it's good...... Of course, the most important thing is that you think you are good......"
When Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying came out of the Qingning Palace, they still walked through the Qingning Gate from the north, and as soon as Zhang Shou got on the sedan chair, he saw Zhu Ying actually open the door and follow up. He was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What, are you angry?" ”
"Who has the kung fu to get angry with those three? A person who seems to be square, but in fact has the smallest eyes, do you think his words are to help you exonerate? It's ironic that you despise the Queen Mother! A woman who looks like a woman, has a bad stomach, like three aunts and six women, likes to join forces with Princess Yongping to calculate me when she has nothing to do! Yongping won't talk about it, I've been on the wrong side with her since I was a child! Fortunately, there is the Queen Mother, I think she likes you a lot. ”
Zhu Ying's complaint, Zhang Shou went in his left ear and out his right ear, but he thought in his heart, does the Queen Mother like him? Not necessarily.
Compared with the relative obvious kindness of Mrs. Tai, the Queen Mother is much more distant and cold. From beginning to end, the Queen Mother never had a single word said to him. Moreover, inviting two princes and a princess to accompany him seems to be an important way to attach importance to him as a foreign minister, but in fact, isn't it a different way to declare intimacy?
Speaking of which, Princess Yongping, who has always been at odds with Zhu Ying, doesn't matter, the eldest prince and the second prince look quite unreliable, unlike Lord Ming, I hope that the willful and casual but very thoughtful emperor can live a long life!
The public case of the porcelain box will most likely kill a little eunuch with unclean hands and feet, and then it will end here. Hehe, now he can't take the person behind it, and it won't be necessarily in the future!
Zhang Shou thought absentmindedly, and suddenly found that something was wrong, and when he looked again, he saw Zhu Ying staring at him thoughtfully, and that kind of focused gaze made him a little uncomfortable when he was used to her gaze. Before he could ask, Zhu Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
"Ah Shou, they are indeed right, I have liked good-looking people since I was a child, men, women and children, as long as they look good, I will be kind to them. But except for Grandpa Ge and a very few people, many people who made me feel amazing when I first met them, as long as they get along a lot, they can always see all kinds of bad things. But you're different. ”
Her eyes were bright, and her face was full of joy and pride: "You are not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted, funny-talking, thoughtful, and seem to be able to ...... anything Anyway, it's all good! For the first time, I knew that there were perfect people in the world! ”
Zhang Shou looked at her in amazement, and after a long while, he suddenly laughed. It wasn't until he saw her smile and shallow anger that he stopped laughing and said with interest: "Jin Wuzubare, no one is perfect, since Yingying you think I am good in everything, then I will definitely work hard to live up to your perfect word!" ”
