Foster son and husband

Chapter 255
After the pilgrimage, the wives gathered in Fangxi Hall and Lantai Hall to rest, and gave a banquet at noon. Meimei had obtained special permission to bring Heng Er into the palace. Needless to say, the queen wanted Heng Er to play with the prince, so there would be some Eunuch Huang and others beside the queen came to lure Meimei mother and son to another separate place, but they saw Dingguo Gong and Mrs. Changle Hou arriving one after another, so they sat in one place chatting and teasing the children, waiting for the queen mother and queen to come out in person Visit the resting place of the commanding wife for condolences, and then call them to meet and have dinner together.

It was not until the afternoon, long after lunch time, that the queen was seen. The group was placed in the Huayu Pavilion in Kunning Palace. The queen was accompanied by Concubine Li, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Zhen. With a tired look, the queen sat down on the upper seat and motioned for several concubines to take their seats in order. Everyone stood up and wanted to salute. The queen waved her hand and said:

"Forget it, I'm tired enough... Bengong and my sisters are also hungry, let's have a meal. I just toasted a few glasses of wine over there, and didn't eat anything."

Wan'er beckoned, and the maids and eunuchs filed in with silver dishes and jade cups. The table was filled with hot soup and hot dishes. Not to mention the queen, Meimei was starving, but Heng'er asked the maids and nanny to bring the food over. Feed him well, or he won't be able to squeak.

After lunch, they drank tea and chatted for a while. A court lady reported that the eldest prince woke up from a nap. The queen glanced at Heng Er who was playing in the side hall with a smile, and said:
"Let's take the young master to play with the prince—Madam Weiyuan, why doesn't Heng'er take a nap?"

Meimei replied respectfully: "Reporting to Empress Empress: Heng'er is going to sleep at home, but when he comes to the palace now, he sees many people and the environment is strange and different, so he refuses to sleep!"

"That's right!"

Concubine Rong, who was sitting next to the queen, suddenly asked: "The Marquis of Weiyuan raised the young master so well, did you take any special supplements when she was pregnant with him?"

Meimei was startled, this question?God knows what Qin Meiniang ate, this is not clear.

She quickly glanced at the queen, and saw that the queen's eyes were calm, and then looked at Concubine Rong, and saw that although her makeup was exquisite and delicate, her brows were lightly frowning, her eyes were moist, and it seemed that anyone who provoked her would cry Get up, the uncomfortable feeling looks uncomfortable.

Meimei responded with a smile: "Concubine Rong: I can't remember, it seems that I eat and drink as usual, it's not good to eat too much."

"But why?"

"This one……"

The queen said: "Concubine Rong, are you tired? Go down and rest!"

Hearing this, Concubine Rong regained her laziness, and hurriedly got up to give the Queen a blessing:
"Yes! My sister is leaving!"

The queen nodded and said: "Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen should also go down to rest together, and you have to go out for a walk after dinner—there's no need for Concubine Rong, no one told you to let you live in the palace with peace of mind?"

Concubine Rong lowered her head: "Back to Empress Empress: A father-in-law has called, and my younger sister thought that there is nothing wrong with it now, so I can help my elder sister socialize a bit, so I'm here!"

"Be obedient next time. The nurses around you seem to have to change, and they haven't told you: Is this the most accident-prone time? I know your intentions. Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen will accompany you all the way back home." Bar!"

Concubine Rong's face turned pale, she bowed her head and saluted again, accompanied by Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen.

There were only a few foreign wives left to drink tea with the queen and chat with the empress. After chatting and laughing for a while, the queen asked each of the wives to learn about their parents, and asked about Meimei. while laughing and saying:
"I heard that when you entered the palace this morning, someone blocked your way?"

Mrs. Dingguo said: "I just want to ask, who is so bold? Dare to stop at the entrance to the palace?"

Meimei smiled and said, "It seems to be a girl who is practicing horsemanship and wants to jump over my carriage!"

"What?" Mrs. Dingguo was astonished: "Which girl is so...so naughty!"

Meimei said: "I was also guessing. At that time, I was so scared that I huddled in the car and didn't dare to move. I didn't bother to look. I wonder which princess it is? So she stumbled and fell, and my husband and I didn't dare to move." Talk too much about accusations, let her go!"

The queen raised her eyebrows: "If you are the princess, you will not do such absurd things. The royal princess and the princess have been brought up strictly since childhood, and the rules and etiquette are indispensable!"

Meimei lowered her head, thinking that after all she married into the royal family and became a queen, she must be helping the royal family to protect her shortcomings, so Princess Sude is a law-abiding one?The reputation of debauchery and shamelessness has already spread far and wide. Listening to Lin Runan's words is even more appalling. If you like a man, you will break into a private house in the middle of the night to rob him. Stay here, don't let me leave... Li Qiuge, the proprietor of Qianxile Square, was almost dragged away by her. If she didn't say that he belonged to King Qi, she would not let go. In the end, it was the drummer Xiaohuan and several male dancers who suffered. Ji and Yue Ji were brought to the mansion successively by her, and it was King Qi who came forward before she was willing to let them go.

Seeing that Meimei bowed her head and remained silent, the queen smiled and said, "Didn't you touch me? If there is any movement, I will definitely teach her a lesson when I come to Weiyuan. That girl was originally the youngest daughter of General Wu Busheng of Fengguo, her name is Wu Ziyao , I am 15 years old this year, I have just reached the age of death, I will go to Beijing when I am young, and serve by the Queen Mother."

Chang Lehou suddenly said: "General Fengguo, my concubine has heard of this man, he is a fierce general!"

The queen nodded: "That's right, he is a fierce general who has repeatedly made military exploits."

Mrs. Dingguo said: "No wonder! The tiger girl of Jiangmen must have some skills, otherwise she would not dare to show it in front of others, but unexpectedly she met Marquis Weiyuan, who fell and the horse was blinded, what a pity!"

Chang Lehou heard it interesting, looked at Mrs. Dingguo and smiled, did she regret that the horse was blind or the man fell?
At this time, Wan'er, the female official next to the queen, asked: "The empress has been tired for a long time, she should take a rest, otherwise the lantern festival at night will be..."

Mrs. Dingguo and others all left their seats and bowed: "Please rest, Empress Dowager!"

The queen nodded and said: "In this case, I will rest on the couch for a while. If you are tired, let the maids arrange a place to rest. There are strange flowers blooming in the garden. If you don't want to lie down, you can move first." Take a look!"

Duke Dingguo took a few foreign wives to retreat, the queen said: "The prince is playing with the prince, Mrs. Weiyuanhou can stay here!"

Meimei talked to Mrs. Dingguo and others, and watched them go out of the palace gate under the guidance of her father-in-law, and then turned back. The queen covered her mouth with her sleeves and yawned, and said with a smile:

"There is no need to be formal when you and I are together. I am a little sleepy, why don't you lie down? Are you on the same bed as me or over there?"

Meimei said: "Don't dare! Madam, lie down and rest, I'll be fine here!"

The Empress asked the maids to recline on the soft couch, propped their heads on their hands, and said with a smile: "It's much better to lie down like this, I'm really exhausted this morning! Your beauty couch is also very good, let's lie down and talk!" "

Meimei looked at the maids, and the queen said: "You still don't recognize them? Last time you spent so long in my palace, they all remember you and Heng'er!"

A court lady came to salute with a smile, served Meimei to take off her robe, and helped her to lean on the beauty couch, Meimei said:

"Thank you Yu'er, Heng'er made you suffer just now!"

Yu'er whispered softly: "Madam Weiyuan Hou is polite, it's what slaves should do!"

Wan'er looked at Yu'er covering Meimei with a layer of velvet brocade quilt, looked at Youdilong, it should not be cold, so she waved her hand, sent all the maids away, and gently pulled down a thin layer of brocade quilt. The purple curtain also bowed his head and withdrew, quietly standing guard at the gate of the palace.

Meimei saw that the queen closed her eyes, and she was about to close her eyes, but the queen was still talking: "You don't know that general of Fengguo, do you? I do know a little bit, it was the emperor who told me - he was old Weiyuan Waiting under his command, he was a rare heroic general who charged forward on the battlefield. Later, in a battle, in order to protect the present-day sage, who was still the prince at that time, his leg was chopped off by the enemy general, and he returned to the capital to meet the late emperor and the current queen mother. During the conversation, I realized that he and the Queen Mother are relatives... that is, they are cousins ​​of the Tang family! Afterwards, General Fengguo was disarmed and returned to the field. The Emperor and Wei Yuanhou visited him several times. She has no children and has two daughters. The Empress Dowager took the initiative to bring the eldest daughter Wu Ziqiong into the palace. She is the Concubine Zhen just now. As you can see, Concubine Zhen is not as good as her sister. Well, I don't know martial arts, the emperor does not favor her too much but never neglects her, he always visits her twice a month. The young girl Wu Ziyao is raised by the general's side, and as soon as she reaches the age of Ji this year, she obeys her parents' order to visit and serve the empress dowager! "

Meimei complained inwardly, what is this?The eldest daughter entered the palace and became a concubine, but the youngest daughter came back!Who are you going to marry this time?Xu Junying, Marquis of Weiyuan?

Don't, Xu Junying, it's fine if you provoke little girls since you were a child, but you can't owe General Fengguo's kindness!

In order not to disturb the queen's rest, Meimei didn't respond, she just closed her eyes and turned to think carefully, but unexpectedly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard someone's voice in a daze, and hurriedly opened my eyes, it was the emperor and Xu Junying talking outside, the voice was neither high nor low, I thought it was because I had slept with the queen for a long time, it was time to get up, the two men also Don't mind waking them up.

The emperor said: "Timid and frightened? Forget it. Others are pretty much the same. Qin Meimei is not even afraid of King Qi. Is there anything she would not dare to do? Maybe she thinks it's fun when a horse flies over her head! Zhao'er Ayao has been practicing for several years, there will be no accidents, but you scare Ayao! Look at her just now, wilting like a grass, how can she be as lively as before, chasing after her all day long? You learn to ride a horse and dig out bird nests..."

"Your Majesty!" Xu Junying stopped him from continuing: "That's because you are annoying. I had to take her with me when I asked her to come to me. Does she look like a girl? She is so tanned that she always falls down when she climbs up all day long. She is often beaten and scolded." My entourage's temper is comparable to that of King Qi when he was a child!"

"Hahaha..." The emperor smiled happily: "She was much more interesting than King Qi when she was young! The girl has changed at eighteen, I can't imagine that she will become like this! Not to mention that she looks like a fairy, and she has an unusual color. It is rare that she is a child Heart, never forget us, you taught her horsemanship, she practiced superbly, the swordsmanship I taught, she danced so beautifully!"
