Queen's Road in the Red House

Chapter 99 New Year's Banquet

Let's talk about Chonghua Palace, Xu Ying talked to herself, while Daiyu held a teacup and was lost in thought, thinking about who should distribute what things during the New Year's Day.

Xu Ying spoke dryly, seeing that Daiyu was always ignorant, she couldn't help but sneered: "It can be seen that we are not worthy to talk to the princess."

Daiyu chuckled: "I've been talking about whether you deserve it for so long, but the second sister-in-law knows how to be a human being, and it's your reason both inside and out."

Xu Ying also bumped into the south wall three or four times, knowing that she might not be able to get anything cheap from Daiyu.It's just that when I heard that Emperor Xuanhe had once again rewarded the Chonghua Palace alone, I was not angry, so I deliberately said sarcastic remarks, so that Daiyu couldn't be happy every day.

Seeing that Daiyu was not annoyed, she said even more meanly: "The Crown Princess should also be considerate of our palace, unlike King An, who has a mother who is a noble concubine and does not worry about money. Now under the new year's festival, our palace There is also a concubine who is pregnant, which naturally costs a lot. The princess is in charge of the palace affairs, shouldn't she give us some supplements? If it is difficult in the palace, everyone must be frugal, but in fact it is not difficult, gold and silver I'm afraid it will crush the bottom of the box in the Chonghua Palace—don't be too stingy, the princess, everyone in your family is ashamed, I'm afraid it won't look good!"

Daiyu wondered: "Second sister-in-law's words are interesting. The rules set by the ancestors, the New Year's schedule is naturally fair. Could it be that the second sister-in-law's monthly schedule was on the wrong day once? Something happened once. not good?"

Because Xu Ying was going to move away after the next year, Daiyu never gave her any chance to make trouble, and she gave enough high-quality ones to everyone in the standard.

Xu Ying also knew that in the palace, everything cannot be said that the rules set by the ancestors are not good, so she just said: "Why do you want to provoke me with words, anyway, please be more merciful, thinking that there are pregnant women in our palace. , give me some convenience. It's more blunt, you have a lot of money in your private house, what's the matter with giving me some? Alas, I think the Crown Princess has been in the palace for half a year, and I don't say anything, and I block Chonghua Palace. Naturally, I can't understand the pain of our palace's expensive expenses."

After saying this, don't mention that Daiyu's face sank at that time, Mo Ran and Xiao Luo behind both gritted their teeth angrily.

Daiyu put the teacup on the table: "Princess Shenjun arranges for me to carry the airs of the princess every day. If so, I will carry it once! In this palace, there were only four serious people who were in charge of the Chonghua Palace. Master, even if the empress retires, it will not be the county concubine's turn to take care of the crown prince's womb."

Seeing the palace maid behind Xu Ying standing shyly, Daiyu nodded and said, "Go and invite the royal mother of your palace immediately, and then take Shenjun Princess back to copy the palace rules ten times for sure. If Wang Momo can't teach me any more, I have no choice but to go back to the Empress Dowager, ask her to rest, and send others to teach Shenjun Wangfei how to behave."

Xu Ying trembled with anger: "You, you are not the empress dowager, how can you control me!"

Daiyu sneered and said, "I'm a younger brother and sister, so I can't control my sister-in-law. However, Princess Shenjun's repeated nonsense has long been ruthless. Now I only talk about reason and high and low."

Everyone in the Chonghua Palace was bored with this Princess Shenjun, and now that Daiyu was really angry, several servant girls with big arms and round waists surrounded her first, and kept a close watch on Xu Ying.

Anyway, following Xu Ying's scolding and tugging, they all stood as firm as Mount Tai, only surrounded by the wind and rain.

Xu Ying couldn't break through this encirclement at all.

Not long after, Wang Momo rushed over with her face covered in sweat, because she was as hot as a steaming roasted sweet potato in winter.

She was followed by side concubine Liu with an unattractive complexion.

After hearing the whole story, Wang Momo was so exhausted that she wanted to vomit blood, and even burst into tears on the spot: "Slaves are human beings, not made of iron. But if the eyes are wrong, the princess will disappear. Slaves are not good at casting nets all over the palace. Seeking like looking, always worried. God is sorry to see, it has only been a long time now, and the hair of the servant is all white. If the princess concubine takes pity on the servant, please return to the queen mother, and change someone else, the servant is useless."

Even Daiyu was speechless for a while.

I thought it was Xu Ying who was being tortured, but it turned out that it was Mother Wang who was really haggard.

Fortunately, Xu Ying was still afraid of Nanny Wang, or the queen mother behind her, so she got up and hurried away, swinging her sleeves.Nanny Wang kowtowed to Daiyu again to make amends.

Daiyu saw that she was really haggard, she was old and she was still following Xu Ying to clean up the mess, she also felt pitiful.

"Forget it, you go with Princess Shenjun first."

Concubine Liu stayed, with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "I swore in front of my mother that day that I would watch over the concubine for you and not let her cause trouble for you, but in the end..."

Daiyu waved her hand and told her to sit down first.

Seeing that she was only wearing a ginger-yellow grape-patterned flowered jacket, and her complexion was a little yellow, she said a few words of concern.

In fact, Concubine Liu didn't try her best, and she would stop Xu Ying whenever she wanted to find trouble at palace banquets.It's just that Xu Ying is a human being, not a rabbit, and Concubine Liu can't stand it, and she doesn't know where she went when she turned around.

Daiyu originally thought that Xin Hongcheng was still waiting in the back hall, and it was inconvenient to keep the pregnant side concubine of Shenjun Wang, so she showed the intention of serving tea to see off the guests.

Concubine Liu said: "There is one more thing, I just heard about it, I don't know if the Crown Princess knows, but I have to tell you first to be at ease."

Xiaoluo took away the other little maids, leaving only Mo Ran.

Concubine Liu's speech has always been concise and decisive, and she doesn't talk about clouds and mountains and fog: "Your Majesty, you know that the original second concubine was supposed to go to marry Princess Yucheng. It's just that on the day of the flower viewing banquet, the prince and the current princess who are not in tune The empress played the trick of having a private meeting with cousins, and asked Prince Rui to take it seriously, and let His Royal Highness smash it, and made trouble in front of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and it has continued to this day."

It was really the first time for Daiyu to hear about this matter.

At that time, she had no engagement with Xin Hongcheng, so there was no reason for it.

Concubine Liu stood up and left after saying this.

Coincidentally, after hearing what Xin Hongcheng said, Emperor Xuanhe sent Qin Wu out to investigate.Just when Concubine Liu came out of Chonghua Palace, she just confessed the incident, and the palace servants supported her to go.

The eunuchs of Chonghua Palace, as if they had seen Master Qingtian, hurriedly shouted for grievances: "Eunuch Qin, look at it, even the side concubine of Shenjun Wang can't stand it. You know, no one in the palace said that our princess is bullying others." Yes, only Princess Shenjun has to make a fuss every now and then. "

--

Because the emperor kept this matter in his heart, when he paid his respects to the emperor at night, he thought about it.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were playing chess. Originally, the emperor came to pay his respects, but he only said that he would serve tea, but in fact, he was only looking at the chessboard, holding a sunspot and thinking hard.

Hearing about Xu Ying suddenly, he threw the chess pieces into the box: "What did I say that day? You have to be more careful if you are a prince or concubine. You treat your son like a thief, and you caught the private meeting of your son and daughter He was about to be hammered to death, he had to point Xu Ying to Yuan Er, and now he got a fish head like this to dismantle it. It would be a joke, and it would be embarrassing for the Xin family."

The emperor bowed his head as a form of instruction.

The queen mother smiled, and said to the emperor: "Your father is about to lose on the chessboard. It just so happened that you bumped into him and took out your anger."

When the empress dowager made a rescue, the emperor also laughed: "It turned out that the son was confused before, so I can't blame the emperor for being angry."

The Supreme Emperor asked his wife and children to interrupt with a smile like this, and his anger subsided: "Then talk about it after the next year, there is no reason to rush to manage people in the next year."

--

New Year's Eve.

During the day, the emperor had a banquet for his ministers, and in the afternoon, he set up theater and wine in the harem as a family banquet.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager made the first head on the east side, and the emperor made the head head on the west side alone. It was a bit lonely, and I couldn't help but think of the situation when Queen Yang was there in the past.

So he ordered Qin Wu to send a table of New Year's noodles to Queen Yang.Qin Wu took the decree and went away, thinking: Well, people will only know the benefits when they go, and then they will never forget it, it really is the emperor!

After the double concubines and the princes and princesses kowtowed and saluted, the male and female returned to sit, and immediately there were palace people offering Tusu wine, auspicious fruits, wishful cakes, etc. at the table.

Because it was the Chinese New Year, two lively dramas such as "Ba Yi" and "Journey to the West" were performed first.

Everyone was familiar with the drama, so they didn't pay attention to it.So the emperor first toasted the Supreme Emperor, King Rui and other princes, Xin Hongcheng and other princes also stood up in order to toast the Supreme Emperor.

Since Xin Hongcheng was the crown prince, he was naturally the leader. After a few words of encouragement with a smile, the Supreme Emperor drank the wine in one gulp, while the wine offered by the rest of the people only touched their lips.

In the eyes of others, it is natural that the Supreme Emperor values ​​His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he knows in his heart that he does not say anything on the surface.

Only King Rui forgot the pain when his scar healed, and said with a smile at this time: "Father is biased, he only treats his grandson as a treasure, and treats his son as grass, but he refuses to drink his son's wine. No, you have to drink your son's cup too, otherwise he won't leave!"

Seeing that his body was full of alcohol, the Supreme Emperor even reversed the idiom of favoring one and favoring another, so the corners of his mouth twitched.

If it wasn't for the thought that it was New Year's Eve, I would almost be unable to hold back the urge to slap someone's hand!

It was still Princess Zhengui who saw something bad and took her son away.

However, King Jingrui's disturbance made the atmosphere more active, and it became more and more noisy, chattering and laughing loudly.In addition to the non-stop firecrackers and fireworks outside the hall, the sonorous operas on the stage, it is naturally the lively music and songs, and the beautiful eyes are full of excitement.

Daiyu has been in the palace for half a year, although she is used to it, she still doesn't like such excitement, and she is thinking about Zhen Ran who is far away in Shuangyi Kingdom.

At the end of the worship, after the Taishanghuang and the emperor had distributed the lucky money, they put on a carousel feast.

The lamps and candles outside are also lit up, and the lamps and candles mixed with incense crumbs as thick as arms reflect the daytime in the hall, making it more and more like a phoenix screened off and a lotus flower on the mattress.

The Empress Dowager laughed for a while and said, "This New Year's drama is full of excitement, and I'm having a headache singing it."

The emperor hurriedly said: "Bring me the play list, and ask the queen mother to order a new play."

The Supreme Emperor also said: "Today is a family feast for fun. You don't have to sing along with the sixteen songs in the palace. You can listen to them enough. You just choose what you like, and then ask them to order it too."

The queen mother took the list and ordered it, and then handed it to the female officer.

The female officer held the list of operas on a foreign lacquer tea tray with sticks, walked down the steps, and came to Daiyu to ask her to order again.Daiyu stood up naturally and humbly. Although she should be her according to her status, there are two layers of concubines and elders above her.

Before the others could speak, Princess Zhengui smiled and said: "The Crown Princess is indeed modest and polite." Then she said to the Supreme Emperor: "It's just that the Crown Princess is sensible and knows to respect our elders, but we also want to cherish the children, so today we call them juniors. How about some fresh ones first?"

Others are fine, but the princes who are of the same generation as the emperor can't help but look at each other: How proud was Princess Zhen Gui in the palace back then, and she was only a little worse than the Queen Mother, but now she is old and old, but she is so proud of the younger generation like the Crown Princess. sell well.

So he reassessed the status of the prince.

Seeing what Concubine Zhen Gui said, the Supreme Emperor also nodded, and the female officer hurriedly squatted down to present Daiyu with the play list.

Daiyu flipped through two pages, she really didn't like watching plays very much, and seeing Zhou Ling looking at the list of plays with great interest, she simply handed it to Zhou Ling: "Sister-in-law is pregnant, first point out what you like, and give it to your nephew in the womb Listen."

Everyone who said it laughed, and Zhou Ling didn't feel pretentious. She took it and rubbed her belly with a smile: "My good boy, I will remember that my aunt loves you today."

According to the order, Daiyu was the first seat in this generation, and then Zhou Ling, Xu Ying and Liu Fangfei sat down in order.

At this time, Zhou Ling was holding the list of plays, and was choosing with relish, when suddenly a hand stretched out beside her and pulled it away: "Why is sister-in-law so procrastinating, why don't you let me come first. You can think about it yourself."

Zhou Ling's hands were suddenly empty, and he couldn't help being stunned.

--

Everyone present was shocked, Princess Shenjun, what is this for?Why did you reach out and grab the playlist?

It's the first play after the Queen Mother, where can I get her turn!

The Crown Princess is in charge of palace affairs with a noble status; Princess An is pregnant, and the Crown Princess gave it up on purpose, so it is reasonable.But where did Xu Ying get her confidence first?

Then the atmosphere became weird for a while.

--

Because of the way men sit in the east and women sit in the west, many men in the east focused their eyes on King Shenjun, with naked words in their eyes: Is this your daughter-in-law?That's it?

Xin Hong lowered his head and poured wine in embarrassment.

The emperor was furious.

He has always been a person who wants a dragon's face the most. Now, in front of all his mothers and concubines in the empress's palace, and in front of all his brothers who have not sat on the dragon chair, naturally he wants to show a harmonious family.

Concubine Zhengui was extraordinarily generous just now, and Daiyu and Zhou Ling were so close as sisters-in-law, the behavior of several of them made the emperor look good.Unexpectedly, before the satisfied smile on Longyan's face reached its position, Xu Ying rushed out and slapped the face, causing the emperor to be seen as a joke.

According to the emperor's temper, he was about to explode, and at the same time, he was even more annoyed when he remembered what happened years ago, so he immediately gave Qin Wu a glance.

Qin Wu was exceptionally clever, and after a while, he re-entered with a frightened look and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Shuren is seriously ill, and the imperial doctor said it might be something bad."

Xu Shuren is the concubine of Xianming, and sure enough, Prince Shen's wine glass was knocked over on the spot.

There was a moment of silence at the feast.

The emperor said "Oh": "Although she was guilty, she finally gave birth to a prince, and today is the new year. Forget it, let the imperial doctor take care of it. In addition, let Princess Shenjun take care of it."

Xu Ying, who was suddenly named:? ? ?

The queen mother also said lightly: "Yes, Princess Shenjun is both a daughter-in-law and a niece, so it is most appropriate to take care of Xu Shuren. If that's the case, let's go."
