Prosperous Glory

Chapter 28

A few girls surrounded the queen mother, and the atmosphere was really lively.

Under the cool shade of trees, the third princess is playing the piano. It was the first time A Yuan saw the fourth princess playing the flute with a lively and cheerful smile. The fifth princess was busy flicking the strings. Clapping and screaming amidst the sound of the piano and the sobbing flute, the Empress Dowager looked at the smiles on the faces of these children, and she also showed a relaxed look on her own face, her eyes were gentle and peaceful, and there was a kind of unwillingness to break all this. Feel.Looking at it, the Empress Dowager's eyes became moist, but fearing that the children would worry about her, they hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

In the early years, when the late emperor was still there, when she was called a noble concubine and couldn't even lift her head, how could she ever have thought that there would be today's children around her knees?

In the melodious laughter of the girls, the carefree ones made the queen mother feel the girlhood back then.She looked at these children in a daze, but she didn't see the queen Xie De quietly walking behind her, and she didn't say anything to destroy everything in this dream. She just sat down silently until the girls played the piano. After a pause, the Empress Dowager's expression returned to her usual gentleness, and she went forward to greet the Empress Dowager, then she heard the Empress Dowager pointing at the Empress and said with a smile, "You are so careless, don't you also want to take a break?"

"How can there be so many things? If the concubine said, please pay respects to the queen mother, and then take a look at a few children to be more concerned." The queen carefully looked at the food and drink around the queen mother, and saw that there was nothing cold, Only then did I feel relieved, and saw that the maids took the cold fruit, and ordered the girls not to be greedy for the cold fruit, and warned them for a long time, and then laughed with the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother gave the marriage a few days ago, and called the two The son-in-law's family is extremely honorable, and today there are people from Li Guogong's mansion and Shangshu's mansion to thank them, the queen mother will cover their faces for them, let's meet them."

"What else do I need to do about these things?" The Queen Mother was delighted to hear it, and she was satisfied after all she said so, she only said softly, "I'm impatient, just ask them to come over." Seeing two people on one side The faces of the two princesses were all rosy, so they sighed, "Is the son-in-law here?" Seeing the queen hesitated for a moment, she nodded, and then said slowly, "Put the screen up, and call the two The children meet through the screen, and there is a rule in mind." Although the palace also pays attention to the rules, but such a simple meeting, the Queen Mother did not take it seriously.

You can't lift the hijab to know the appearance of the son-in-law, right?I feel sorry for the princesses.

"The queen mother said so, the concubine only thanked the two girls." The queen saw that the fifth princess had thrown herself into the arms of the concubine De, she only smiled, and lovingly touched the fifth princess's little face, then turned her head He laughed with the Queen Mother, "Call Xiaosi here too?"?Seeing the unbearable smile on the queen mother's face, she said with a smile, "This child has grown up now, and he keeps saying that he wants to be a backer with his sisters. The concubine is thinking about it, and I have to ask the two brothers-in-law to see the majesty of my brother-in-law. Know the good and the bad, don't be careless, and provoke the anger of my brother-in-law, and suffer."

"Xiaosi is good like this." Willing to protect sisters and brothers, such a prince is the empress dowager's favorite child. Kuang Fengming has always been straightforward, a rare single-minded person, and the empress dowager is also happy to have such a prince. It is better than coveting the throne, so she Nodding and laughing, "Tell him to meet too." Angry, what else can be angry?Only when the princess is sad, will the prince and brother-in-law be angry, right?It is not easy for the elders to stand out, and the empress dowager was more happy when there was a rampant person who was not afraid of anything, so she nodded to Concubine De and said, "You have brought up a pair of children very well."

"Your Majesty is partial to him, that's why she felt that way, otherwise how can she compare to his older brothers?" Concubine De only said humbly.

But the queen just listened with a smile, seeing the fifth princess holding Concubine De, but her eyes were frequently looking at A Yuan, she just smiled and said, "Do you like my cousin?" This way of getting along without intrigue also makes the queen more comfortable .

"I like it!" The fifth princess said without hesitation, "After Xiao Wu, I will be my sister's elder sister for the rest of my life, and don't let others bully her!"

"In the future, you will also be good sisters for the rest of your life." The queen's eyes were as gentle as water, and she only pulled the shy third and fourth princesses in front of her, and said softly, "It is the bond between you to be born in the royal family and be sisters." Fate, if you are married outside, there may be no news in the palace, but you have to remember that as sisters in this life, you have to watch over and help each other, and help your sisters, don't let this fate be broken, only by supporting each other can you be more stable in Beijing." She His eyes fell on the face of the fourth princess, and he said with a smile, "Your princess mansion, I decided to build it on the opposite side of Li Guogong's mansion. Although you are a princess, you are a junior. Greetings from the elders, but don't be arrogant. .”

The Mrs. Tai of the Duke of Li's Mansion is not a vegetarian. If the fourth princess really wants to repay the princess's money, she will have to be hit in the face.

However, seeing the bright and untroubled smiling face of the fourth princess, the queen still couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.

Everyone thought that she said this so that the fourth princess could help the third princess who was not as good as her in the future, but the queen herself knew that these were mostly for the fourth princess.

only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.The fourth princess married into a noble family and became the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law for the eldest sister of the empress dowager.But how can such a family be so easy to live with?Although there is nothing rude or unruly in the Duke of Li's mansion, but according to the rules, the fourth princess's son-in-law is surrounded by two elders who have given him years of housekeeping.Although it is not called pregnant, but standing there, how can it not be an eyesore?On the contrary, the son-in-law of the third princess was studying hard behind closed doors, and there was no one in the house yet. After coming and going, I don't know which of the two children is more comfortable.

Thanks to the first dynasty, the trial marriage of the son-in-law was avoided, otherwise the queen really felt that being a princess would not be interesting.

After all, the queen mother is here, the queen only taught a few words, seeing the third princess and the fourth princess smiled at each other, with sisterly feelings in their eyes, and felt a little more relaxed, so the palace people went to pass on the concubine and the fourth prince, and she and the fourth princess The queen mother reported some palace affairs, A Yuan saw that she didn't know when she got up, but she no longer wore those shiny and noble but very sharp finger cots, and in his heart shamelessly attributed the change of the queen to the fact that she cherished it. Afraid of hurting her upper body, she twisted her little fat claws and carefully touched the Queen Mother's hand in the arms of the Queen Mother, after which a happy smile appeared on her face.

"This child is so close to you." The queen mother saw A Yuan twisting her small body and clucked with joy, she only said to the queen, "Your kindness to her, this child can naturally feel it." Smiling and listening, he didn't interrupt casually, and knew her nature, so he didn't want to neglect her, so he said a few words in a harmonious voice, and seeing Concubine De respectfully returned, he said to the saint's palace, there are such empresses and concubines More and more satisfied, at this moment, he only sneered, "Aijia only said that it's hot and don't come to pay his respects, but he really didn't come. It can be seen that in some people's hearts, Aijia is nothing more than that."

The Empress knew that the Empress Dowager was picking on Concubine Xu, and the others were only joint, so she didn't dare to say more, and only said vaguely, "It's probably because of illness."

"That's why you cried the emperor out of your palace in the middle of the night and went to see her in a hurry?" The queen mother was angry when she said it.When the empress was not stable in the saint's position, she was in love with the saint, and her temperament was gentle and open, so the empress dowager naturally liked it. Last night, knowing that Concubine Xu was sick, she dared to send the maid to the empress's palace to invite the saint to come over , only angrily said, "Do you still know the rules? The queen's bedroom is also something that a concubine can rush against?" Seeing that the queen just smiled lightly and didn't care, she sighed, "Such a goblin has so many tricks. If you don't like it, this year's draft, you have to choose carefully, don't let there be such a person in the palace."

"The eighth princess is indeed very ill," the queen said in a low voice, "I have also visited the concubine today, the little baby is hot all over, crying like something, no wonder Concubine Xu is nervous .”

"What's more," the queen said in harmony, "the sage didn't wrong me. I went to see the eighth princess last night, and then I went back to the concubine's place to settle down. I didn't stay in Concubine Xu's palace." That's why Xu The imperial concubine looked at her like a knife. Obviously, she didn't expect that the saint cared more about giving her face, and more about maintaining the queen's face. Therefore, the queen who was favored by the saint didn't bother to argue with a little concubine. .

As a queen, she has two legitimate sons, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she will be safe and sound. Why should she lower her status and fight with a concubine?

Only this year's draft, select a few young and beautiful rookies, and just quarrel with Concubine Xu.

"What is Concubine De wanting to say?" The queen was graceful and grand, and the queen mother nodded in satisfaction, seeing the hesitant expression on Concubine De's face, she asked with a smile.

Concubine De's face tightened, but in an instant she regained her respect, she just lowered her head and said in a respectful voice, "Concubine, I would like to ask your mother not to give it to my concubine Four Fingers for this year's draft."

"Why is that?" The Queen Mother really likes Feng Ming. After Feng Ming, there are always princesses in the palace. Feng Ming is the youngest prince. The Queen Mother originally wanted to find a good concubine for Feng Ming to take care of his daily life. Concubine De actually said such words, so she asked very suspiciously, "If you don't point out, Xiaosan and Xiaosi are going to be ennobled in autumn, so why should he be left alone in the mansion?" Just as she was about to say something, suddenly Hearing the noise and dissuasion coming from a distance, it was extremely lively. The queen mother was startled for a moment, and saw a big palace lady coming over in a panic, and said in a low voice, "My lady, the third prince and the fourth prince The prince is fighting at the front, and the servants are unable to pull away, right now..."

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Concubine De's eyes looking at that place coldly, she was actually intimidated.
