The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 95: The Banquet (4)
The following women also had outstanding performances, and the emperor, empress and queen dowager also kept them. When the eunuch suddenly heard the name of a person, her eyes lit up, she sat up slightly, and saw Chen Linger walking in briskly. He saluted with a heroic face: "My daughter, Chen Ling'er, pays respects to the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress empress."

Seeing Chen Linger's eccentric look, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smiled and said: "Our Princess Izumo is here, look at you girl, you are so lazy, you are going to show the Ai family and the emperor today that you are not serious. Does it look like?"

Ugh……

Chen Ling'er sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "Ling'er doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; needlework girl, mother and concubine wants to beat me once, so Linger doesn't have much talent. If you have to read it, Linger deliberately learns After learning a set of boxing techniques, why don't you show it to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress, okay, let Ling'er go home after the fight, the rules in the palace are too strict, so I'm in a panic." After finishing speaking, he showed a mournful expression.

She couldn't help but laugh. Among all the young ladies, only Chen Ling'er dared to talk to the Queen Mother and the Emperor like this, because her mother, Princess Zhennan Wang, is the younger sister of the Emperor's mother, Princess Fenghua. My dear niece.

The queen mother immediately gritted her teeth and cursed with a smile: "This monkey, Aijia spoiled you. The bigger it gets, the more it has no rules. Hurry up and beat it. Go back and see your mother after the beating. She has been worried for a long time."

Chen Ling'er immediately said with a happy face: "It's the queen mother who hurts Ling'er the most." After speaking, she jumped to the middle of the hall and punched out a set of punches swiftly.

After finishing a set of punches, Chen Linger said triumphantly: "Uncle Emperor, look at Linger's good fight."

Emperor Yuan shook his head helplessly: "In my opinion, not only the imperial sister wants to beat you, but the king of Zhennan also wants to beat you up if he sees you performing the family boxing technique like this."

puff……

As soon as Emperor Yuan's words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing. Chen Linger stomped her feet and ran out of the hall pretending to be angry. Looking at the back of Chen Linger leaving, the Queen Mother shook her head involuntarily and said, "Continue."

The eunuch immediately read: "Mu Zhaoyue, the younger sister of Prime Minister Zuo, enters the palace to perform."

Mu Zhaoyue often wears a green skirt with plum blossoms and white water that drags the floor, her hair is combed into a bun, and she wears a hibiscus bead flower, and a seven-step rocker inlaid with emeralds. Thin tassels, simple but not too plain, came from outside with a calm face.

After going forward to salute respectfully, the queen said with a smile on her face: "Miss Zhaoyue, today is much quieter than before." There seemed to be some hints in the words.

Boqing flicked his sleeves disapprovingly, and Mu Zhaoyue tightened his grip a little and said: "Going back to the empress, the servant girl just knows that she has little talent and learning, and she is afraid that her performance will be too bad, and she will lose the dignity of the Zuo Xiangfu, so she is a little nervous. I hope the Empress will forgive me."

The queen mother took a careful look, and then looked at the flirtatious sitting aside, Fang smiled and said: "Miss Zhaoyue said so, Aijia is even more curious, what talents you will bring."

"Back to the Empress Dowager, although Zhaoyue also understands a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it's just that she doesn't learn well, and it's hard to compare with the ladies. So there is no talent show? I have prepared a small play, I hope the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager will accept it." Mu Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment, then Fang blushed and said.

The Empress Dowager said with great interest: "Submit it up, and Ai's family will have a look."

The eunuch immediately put it on the tray, and the queen mother saw that there were three exquisitely embroidered purses, and took out one of the purses embroidered with small golden characters, saying: "You embroidered these."

"Yes. This is embroidered with the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, which is used to keep you safe. Inside the purse are plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, jasmine, and homemade spices collected by the courtiers. They are often carried on the body. They have the effect of calming the mind and rejuvenating the mind." Mu Zhaoyue A slightly nervous introduction on the face.

Emperor Yuan took out another purse embroidered with dragon patterns, flipped through it, smelled it, frowned, then relaxed, and said: "What's in it, I feel refreshed after hearing it."

Mu Zhaoyue glanced at the purse, lowered her head, and still said nervously: "Return to the emperor, the pattern on it is called flying dragon in the sky, and the spices inside are also made of flowers collected in the mansion. The emperor takes care of everything every day. If you are busy When you smell it, it will refresh your mind.”

The last purse, before Mu Zhaoyue introduced it, the queen took it and said: "The phoenix wears peony, which is my favorite pattern, and the fragrance is also the smell of peony flowers that I like. Miss Zhaoyue is troublesome. I am very happy. like."

The Queen Mother said in amazement: "This thing is a small thing. Aijia didn't expect that she would make her own spices, and it smells better than the ones she uses every day."

Seeing that the three of them liked each other, Mu Zhaoyue relaxed with tense nerves, and said calmly: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen. When my daughter was young, the family was difficult. It was not a small fee, and later I figured out a way for myself, who knows that I don’t want to change it after getting used to it, and now I can win the favor of the emperor, queen mother, and empress, and the courtiers are also full of joy, so I don’t have to worry about losing the right of Zuo Xiang’s mansion. Decent."

"Don't ask where the hero came from. I'm not a born emperor. I've come here step by step. You're doing well." The emperor said with emotion, and turned to the queen mother next to him, "Queen mother, according to my opinion, it's fine."

When the queen mother heard it, she was naturally happy, but said lightly on her face: "It's as long as the emperor likes it, then stay."

Mu Zhaoyue knelt down on the ground with a shocked face, and secretly looked at Boqing. At first, she didn't believe that these small purses could enter the eyes of the queen mother and the emperor. Now it seems that her sister-in-law can predict the future, and secretly It's endless.

Boqing blinked slightly, she was not able to predict the future, but knew that the Queen Mother was interested in Mu Zhaoyue early on. As for the emperor's background, no one would know better than her, and the queen, as long as the queen mother and the queen like her, she naturally can't say more. say what.

The most important thing is that the emperor and the queen mother chose concubines for the three princes this time. They did not choose talented women, but wives who could manage the family. Therefore, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are useless. The most important thing is to be able to manage the family and live a stable life.

The queen mother looked at Mu Zhaoyue with a shocked face, and couldn't help but joked with a smile: "Why, I'm so happy, I can't even thank you."

Mu Zhaoyue suddenly came to her senses, put away the shock on her face, and saluted indifferently: "My lady, thank you for your kindness to the emperor Longlong, and thank you for your kindness to the queen mother and queen. My lady will leave."

After the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yuan sent Mu Zhaoyue away with smiling eyes, Yun Xueer looked at the purse in Emperor Yuan's hand, pursed her red lips seductively, and raised an innocent smile: "Your Majesty, this Miss Zhaoyue plays piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, singing, dancing and poetry She's not very good, didn't show any talent, and gave her a broken purse, why did you let her pass, isn't it a bit unfair?"

Before Emperor Yuan opened his mouth, he only heard a cold male voice say: "To marry a wife is to marry a virtuous man, and the most important thing is to be able to manage a family and live a life. The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just used to pass the time, cultivate one's morality, and rely on the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to live a life. It’s not something that us people should think about.”
