The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber
Chapter 86
Hearing the Empress Dowager Chu's words to tell Liu Hanyan to go to the back mountain with Princess Lirong, Empress Dowager Shang frowned a little: "Miss Liu was originally serving her elder sister to worship the Buddha, and this matter is not in compliance with the rules."
"But since my sister has spoken, so be it."
The Empress Dowager Chu felt relieved when she saw the embarrassment that the Empress Dowager Shang agreed to.
Liu Hanyan was surprised and delighted, she originally entered the palace with the ambition of Lingyun, now that she entered the capital, she never thought of going back to Sichuan to marry an ordinary family.
Naturally, I want to marry in Beijing, and it is best to marry the royal clan son Lang!She still doesn't like the rich and powerful of ordinary families.
As the niece of the imperial concubine, she didn't feel that she was any worse than the other girls.
It's just bad luck, and now the concubine and aunt are out of favor, causing her to lose face as well.
It has to be said that her idea is not whimsical. After all, the emperor thought of paving such a way for them because of the favor of the imperial concubine, mother and son.
But now, the emperor doesn't even bother to care about the second prince's marriage, let alone a girl from the imperial concubine's natal family.
Liu Hanyan was able to stay in the palace simply because she forgot that there was such a person in the palace.
So Liu Hanyan followed Princess Lirong and others to the back mountain in soft sedan chairs.Along the way, I just felt that my palms were wet with sweat—on the hunting ground today, they were all the best sons and daughters in Beijing.
After all, he was riding and shooting with several princes, and those with insufficient family background were not worthy of playing.
She intends to find a husband for herself in it, so that she can beg her aunt in the future.To prevent Concubine Liu Gui from pointing her at others at will, even if she is honorable enough, if she is not good enough or physically bad, she will let her down in this life.
Thinking of this, Liu Hanyan couldn't help but smile.
And Shang Chanchan in the soft sedan also had a smile on her lips.
Now that Liu Hanyan is here, it will be easy.
She still had a headache, how could she talk to Liu Hanyan in private.
Who knew that the two big Buddhas, Empress Dowager Chu and Empress Dowager Shang, were choking again, and Liu Hanyan solved this problem for her without saying anything.
The girls had never been in a tent before, so they felt a little strange for a while, and they sat cross-legged on the sheepskin mattress after wandering around for a while.
Because there is a square table for four people in the house, one can see the closeness of relatives when they sit.
Zhu Yunniang never came, so Princess Lirong sat down at a table with Shang Chanchan, Daiyu, and Wenshan very naturally, and the four chatted and laughed.
Chu Ru could only sit with Liu Hanyan, but she didn't want to talk to Liu Hanyan either.Just sitting upright, looking more serious than in front of Master Wu.
The tent faces the direction of the hunting ground and has a window with a special bright paper pasted on it.
From the outside, the inside is very blurry, but the outside can be seen from the inside.
This kind of clear paper is very rare, and it is generally used in the palace above the main seat in the palace.
Shang Chanchan was still a little emotional when she first saw it: This kind of craftsmanship is not much different from modern times.It can be seen that where there is a demand, there is a market. After all, everyone pays attention to privacy, and in order to satisfy the powerful class, anything can be done.
Of course, there is a layer of separation, it is not as clear as the important ministers outside looking directly at the paddock.
Daiyu knew that she must see Xie Ling's performance, so she deliberately let Shang Chanchan sit on the side by the window.
Shang Chanchan also took a closer look, and saw that the imperial guards were all wearing iron armor, holding pumpkins, and crowned with red-tasseled iron helmets.He led eight troops to gallop, with Zhang Gong and arrows as guards on both sides of the paddock.
And the five princes led their respective teams to set up five-color flags, thinking of the order.
That's right, the five princes.
Everyone said that the third prince was low-key and humble, but when they saw him today, all the important ministers couldn't help but suddenly realized that there was a fourth prince!
This one is not low-key, this is simply invisible!
The fourth prince, Xiao Wei, is the son of Concubine Kong and the younger brother of the second princess who married far away in Yunnan.
Just seeing that Concubine Kong gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she is still a concubine without a title, one knows that she is not good at both, no matter her family background or favor.
And the fourth prince is really not fighting or grabbing.
Even reading is not very motivated, the only love is Danqing.It's just another loyal and brave prince, but his hobby has changed from carpentry to painting.
So at this time he had no choice but to lead a team to participate in the hunt, not to mention that he was not heroic, but he was full of lovelessness.
It is estimated that if he was not afraid of being too embarrassing and being reprimanded by his father, he would have rolled off the horse immediately, flopped and quit the game on the spot.
Rao Princess Lirong said when she saw him: "I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and spent more time in the palace than at home. But this fourth cousin is really rare."
"I just heard from Xiao Rang that his fourth brother is tired of walking and eating, and he usually looks like he can't wake up.
"Uncle Huang also said that he looks like my father's own son."
Princess Lirong poured herself a cup of fine wine, and persuaded Daiyu and others to drink it.Daiyu declined with a smile, but Shang Chanchan didn't bother to answer at all, only looking for Xie Ling on the court.
She looked carefully, and she saw that Xie Ling was right behind the fifth prince, riding the snow with four hooves that she had touched before.
This was the first time she saw Xie Ling in armor.
I saw him wearing a short black robe with narrow sleeves and a scarlet armor, with a bow and a pot of arrows on his back.And he wears a luan belt around his waist and a black saber.
It was the slash immediately, majestic and majestic.
When Xie Ling used to be in the palace, he usually only wore azurite uniforms.When they are on duty, they wear the fifth-grade court dress with white pheasants embroidered on the front and back in the moon-white satin.
Although he is also tall and handsome, his ambition is high, but it is like a sword in a box without its light.
Now straddling a steed and wearing armor, the whole person is like a sword out of its sheath, extremely sharp and full of vigor.
Shang Chanchan couldn't help staring dumbfounded: she had seen too much of her father and brother in the past, especially Shang Chi's face that could score 99 points, and when she looked at Xie Ling again, she felt that although his appearance was handsome, he was only [-]% look.
She comforted herself: Forget it, anyway, what she chose was not Xie Ling's appearance, it was just that the two of them agreed.
But now that he was dressed in military uniform, the remaining [-] points were actually made up by his momentum.A young general with a heroic figure was originally the dream image of a girl in a boudoir, and Shang Chanchan was no exception.
At this moment, she only felt her heart beating fast, not like in the past.
I have to condemn myself in my heart: So I am just a shallow face control!
Seeing her in a daze, Princess Lirong wanted to tease her, but there were other people sitting there, so he swallowed the words back, and started to compliment Wenshan on a string of nanmu wood eighteen-seed fragrant beads.
Wen Shan didn't know why, so she just smiled and said modestly: "This is what my grandmother rewarded me."
Princess Lirong smiled and said: "Our family also has a string, but it was the property of Empress Xiaozhao, and it was passed down from generation to generation. My mother regards it as a treasure, and even I can't move it at will."
Empress Xiaozhao is the first wife of Emperor Tai/Zu and also the cousin of Emperor Tai/Zu. The empress and empress love each other deeply, which is a good story for many generations.
Shang Chanchan also followed suit: "Empress Xiaozhao's benevolence is evident, and she is a model of virtuous queens."
Princess Lirong probably talked more because of drinking, and it was a big talk when she mentioned the old story of Empress Xiaozhao.
Finally, he concluded: "It can be seen that the benefits of being close to each other. I heard that because of the war earlier, Empress Xiaozhao was brought up in front of the Queen Mother, and she and the Emperor Tai/Zu grew up together. Who can compare with this kind of affection."
Daiyu is so clever, she was just listening to it with a smile on her face, but at this moment she realized something was wrong.
She is also considered to be familiar with Princess Lirong's temperament, and the princess has never paid attention to jewelry.That's all for today.
Before she could think about it carefully, Shang Chanchan had already held her hand under the table and wrote a willow character.
Daiyu couldn't help but shudder: Liu Hanyan and the second prince are cousins.
Shang Chanchan glanced at Liu Hanyan's expression, and saw that her eyes were bright and she was fascinated by listening, compared with Chu Ru, who had a serious face next to her, as indifferent as if she was a monk.
Seeing this, she turned her head and smiled at Princess Lirong.
The Empress Dowager Shang was suppressed by the Empress Dowager Chu for decades, but now that she is in power, the situation in the palace will naturally change.
The people who serve in the palace are all smart people who can adapt to the situation, how can they not know who is the real boss who has the final say?
Those who serve close to him can still remain loyal, but the little maids outside are all fools.
Empress Dowager Chu didn't like Liu Hanyan, so naturally she would not send her confidants to take care of the girls like Queen Mother Shang did.The Empress Dowager Chu just instructed a few young maids to serve Liu Hanyan, and then treated her as non-existent.
There is no need for the Empress Dowager Shang to send someone to buy them off, there are those palace people with lofty aspirations and high expectations who will take the initiative to make small reports.
A few months ago, Fengjing Palace had received a bit of news.
When the Second Prince went to greet the Empress Dowager Chu's palace, he happened to bump into Liu Hanyan, both of them were a little bit surprised.
From then on, Liu Hanyan paid special attention to the second prince's actions, always counting the time when the second prince paid his respects to find an excuse to go out.Even if you can't meet and say hello, at least you can take a look.
At that time, the Empress Dowager Shang heard this, but she couldn't help but smile: Whether it was Liu Hanyan who had thought about it herself, or the Liu family was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream of getting closer and closer, it was impossible.
Even if she doesn't like the Second Prince, it is impossible for her to marry Liu's daughter as his concubine—not for him, but also for the concubines of the next few grandchildren, with such a huge disparity in status, how will the sisters-in-law talk about it then.
But time has changed, and now the Empress Dowager Shang has changed her mind.
Of course, as a grandmother, she certainly wouldn't plot against the two juniors and have such dirty thoughts of framing someone for an affair like the second prince. Instead, she felt pity for the second prince and was seriously considering his marriage.
The Empress Dowager Shang has already learned of Shang Duo's plan, once it is accomplished, the second prince is doomed to have no future in this life.
Instead of finding him a high-ranking woman to complain about each other, it is better to find him a princess with a low status and a close relationship, so that his life will be easier in the future.
Empress Dowager Shang just said something, not to shame Concubine Liu Gui, but to beat Liu Hanyan and tell her to be more stable in the future, otherwise how could she be the prince and concubine.
Shang Chanchan is happy to see the success of this, so she is working with Princess Lirong to brainwash Liu Hanyan to get the benefits of being closer.
After all, with the second prince's double merchants, he is a perfect match with his arrogant and shallow-minded cousin, so don't harm girls from other aristocratic families anymore.
The author has something to say: a preview: Tomorrow, the branch line of Bieyuan will end~ and then return to the timeline of the Red Chamber.
Here is a foreshadowing that must go~
