XVII. Zhaoyang Festival Envoy (3)

Ming Cui stepped forward, brought a bowl of tea, and whispered, "Niangniang." ”

"You can't be like this, people outside are watching, I don't know, and I think you're not happy."

The queen was young after all, so she looked at the silk and was a little bored, "This silk, you can take it to the concubine." ”

"If you want me to say, Niangniang, you don't need to worry about it," Ming Cui took the silk down, put it aside, turned to the queen and said, "There are many concubines in these six palaces, and there will always be pregnant, and it is not a big deal for the concubine to take the lead first." ”

"I'm not jealous of the concubine, but I'm a little sad," the queen said quietly, "You said my belly," the queen touched her belly, and the silver armor was very bright under the purple cheongsam, "I didn't see any movement." ”

"It's a matter of urgency," Mingcui said, "and it doesn't matter when it comes suddenly." ”

The queen supported her head with her hands, her eyes half-closed, "Mingcui, you said that if Concubine Xun gives birth to an elder brother, this, what should we do?" ”

"We don't have to do anything," Mingcui said, "You are the queen, the concubine's child is naturally your child, you are the mother-in-law, this can't be wrong." ”

"Besides, this first blossoms and then bears fruit," Ming Cui said, "Let's just say that when the first emperor, Li Guifei Niangniang had a princess, and then the queen mother gave birth to a long live lord, so this blessing is not in order." ”

"That's what you said, fortunately, Concubine Xun is also a member of the family, so there must be no mistakes." The queen comforted herself.

"That's the reason, let's rest assured." Ming Cui looked at no one on the left and right, and said quietly, "But the children in this palace are difficult to give birth to, and the fetal image of the concubine is weak, I don't know if I can hold on until the pregnancy falls to the ground in October." ”

The queen's face was very hesitant. "That's it, the Queen Mother said that she wanted to protect the fetus, just keep it well. The emperor has no children under his knees now, which is also because of my immorality in the middle palace. ”

"What did Niangniang say," Ming Cui hugged unevenly, "The emperor rarely comes to the harem." I used to think that she was pregnant first, but I didn't think about it, but I just had indigestion, but I made the people in the six palaces see the joke - she is the one who is not blessed. ”

"But the emperor likes her best," sighed Arut, "and is going to find her a father-in-law outside to strengthen her lintel." ”……

"You're unlucky, too," the Empress Dowager Ci'an shook her head and flicked the ivory-encrusted ruby dice on the coffee table. "You are the one who serves the emperor the hardest, how can there be no movement at all, and let Concubine Xun take the lead."

The noble man knelt on the ground, with a faint sense of stubbornness on his face, and tears in the corners of his eyes, "It's the concubine who is blessed, but the concubine is still young, and the emperor is also young." It's not bad when you have to have children. ”

"It makes sense to say this," Empress Dowager Ci'an asked the noble Jin to get up. "You see that Concubine Xun has a body, and you don't have any ideas?"

"Thoughts?" Noble Jin's eyes widened, she was only a palace maid before, and she understood these meaningful words, "The concubine is stupid." ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an smiled and said nothing, "That's it." You can serve the emperor with peace of mind, I heard that the emperor wants to find a father-in-law for you outside, so that you will not be helpless, the emperor feels sorry for you, and you must also be interested. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Zhuzi returned to Shoukang Palace. The Empress Dowager Cixi was looking at a book on the windowsill, and Xiao Zhuzi called a thousand, "The slave is back." ”

"Coming back? What does Rong Fu say? The Queen Mother's gaze went beyond the book and looked at Xiao Zhuzi.

"Naturally, I am very grateful to the emperor and the queen mother for their sanctity," Xiao Zhuzi said with a smile, "Lord Rong also personally sent the slave out, and gave the slave a big red envelope, which made the slave cheap." ”

"You monkey cub," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "and you are cheap, and you still don't have a treat?" The Queen Mother called the maid who was standing in the palace and waiting, "Carry him out, and tell him to set a table in the kitchenette with the silver, and invite you to eat." ”

Several palace maids hugged Xiao Zhuzi out, the smile on the queen mother's face faded, put down the book in her hand, leaned on the kang, the warm sunlight shone on her face through the glass, it should have been a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but the queen mother was very irritable in her heart.

Concubine Ligui's personal maid Chun'er came in with a box of peach blossom cakes, and was blessed, "The concubine's small kitchen has made this new, I think it's very good, and I specially dedicated it to the Queen Mother to try the taste." ”

The Queen Mother leaned on the kang and asked Tang Wufu, who came in together, to take down the peach blossom cake, "Got it." ”

Tang Wufu asked the Queen Mother, "Niangniang, the bird's nest is also good, do you want to put it out now?" ”

"If you don't want to eat it, let's take it first." The Queen Mother shook her head, "Bird's nest every day, tired of panic." ”

Tang Wufu was a little frightened, "The negligence of the slaves also has good milk and red rice porridge, Niangniang?" ”

"That's it," the Queen Mother sat up, "what about them?" Concubines and concubines. ”

"Concubine Yun Guifei went to visit Concubine Xun, Concubine Li, the two princesses and the concubines listened to the play in Shufangzhai together, is Niangniang going too?"

"That's it, I'm not going to mess with it." The Empress Dowager Cixi felt that it was a little too boring, and asked Tang Wufu, "These days are too boring, either listening to dramas or chatting." ”

Tang Wufu said with a smile, "Niangniang has just withdrawn the curtain and returned to politics, don't worry about the outside affairs, naturally she is free, she is still touring the West in the first half of the year, this outside world is naturally much more interesting, and when the spring of next year begins, Niangniang will go to the Old Summer Palace, and this day will be interesting again." ”

"It doesn't seem interesting to play every day," the Queen Mother disagreed, shook her head and said, "That's it, I won't toss you, you go down, I don't need anyone to serve me here." ”

Tang Wufu retreated as he said, An Qian was about to enter the hall, Tang Wufu grabbed An Qian, "Niang Niang doesn't know what's wrong today, I'm in a bad mood, you should be careful." ”

Anqian nodded, cheered up and entered the Xinuan Pavilion, and saw the Queen Mother lying on her back on the pit, smiling and blessed, "Niangniang." ”

The Queen Mother was silent, "Niang Niang is lying like this, be careful of catching a cold," Ann Qian turned around, took out a brocade quilt from the cabinet of golden silk nanmu, and gently covered it for the Queen Mother, "It's too boring these days." ”

Ann Qian said with a smile, "Niangniang feels that the days are boring, it is better to go to Shufangzhai to listen to the play, today's big drama is Sun Wukong making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, I heard that it is wonderful and tight, and many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have sneaked over to watch." ”

"The people in this palace are getting lazy and lazy," the Queen Mother yawned, "When do you have to rectify it, it's not interesting to listen to the drama every day." ”

Anqian took a piece out of her sleeve and said with a smile, "Niangniang won't be bored after reading this." (To be continued.) )
