The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

In the study room of the Wangfu, Wang Ziteng was lying on the chair behind the desk, holding the memorabilia that he had just written in his hand. After a while, he heard a "hiss", and the melody was torn into pieces.

Mrs. Liu, the eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family, opened the door and entered. She was dressed in a purple robe with plain makeup and flowers, and her face was like a peach blossom.Although he is over middle age, he is still unique and charming.

Mrs. Liu took the plate from the servant girl, and said, "Everyone go down."

"No." The servant responded, hurriedly retreated, and closed the door behind him.

Wang Ziteng rubbed his temples, stood up to meet him, took the plate from Mrs. Liu, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Liu arranged the snacks on the dinner plate, stroked her hair on her temples, and said with a graceful smile: "Master came in at noon today. It has been several hours, and the servants dare not come in. The concubine is worried that the master will be hungry. So I had to come here by myself." From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the memorabilia on the table, and faintly saw the word 'nephew' on some broken scraps of paper, and his heart became a little clearer.

"Master, the second sister came here today." Mrs. Liu asked tentatively.

Sure enough, Wang Ziteng frowned.He turned around and walked to the desk, sat on the chair, took the cold tea cup, and was about to drink it when he was stopped by the limp and boneless hand.Liu Shi smiled softly, took the teacup from Wang Ziteng's hand, and said with a smile: "Cold tea hurts the body, let me, as the master, add new tea."

As he finished speaking, he lifted the purple sand teapot on the dinner plate next to him, picked up the handle, and hot tea flowed out from the spout, and the fragrance of tea filled the whole study.

Wang Ziteng's mind eased along with the tea fragrance.Sighing, "What did she say again?"

Liu Shi knew that Wang Ziteng loved the second sister the most, and the engagement was higher than that of the younger sister. Afterwards, she took care of Jia's family more. After thinking about it, Fang smiled and said: "It's just talking about homely things, but Brother Baoyu was mentioned by chance. Does the master know?"

Wang Ziteng's heart skipped a beat, and he let out a heavy breath, "Ma'am, I don't know. The current situation in the court is unclear, and I am now in charge of the Beijing army. Naturally, people on both sides have many scruples. I'm afraid that we won't be able to keep the neutral situation in the future."

Liu's face was worried, "Then what is the master's plan? Is it old Qiansui, or... today?"

Wang Ziteng leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and showed a tired look on his face.

It's been a bit confusing lately.

Since the case of Zhen's family, what the Millennium Party has done can't be said to be worrying.Although Jia's mansion is duplicity on the outside, but it is also Lao Qiantui's in-laws on the inside, and they also help Lao Qiantose to pass on news on weekdays, so they did not expect to end up like this at a critical moment.Now his nephew Baoyu was secretly arrested again by the king of Beijing Jing, and he didn't know what happened to him.Thinking of this, the wrinkles between the eyebrows became more obvious.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu knew that Wang Ziteng's heart was getting more and more shaken.With a turn in his mind, he walked over, put his bare hands on Wang Ziteng's temples, and rubbed them lightly. "The concubine has some ideas."

Prince Teng Meifeng calmed down, narrowed his eyes and said, "Ma'am, it's okay to say."

"The master spent a lot of hard work before pushing the imperial concubine to the position of imperial concubine, but now she has a dragon species, but she is not born. I heard that the empress dowager does not like it very much. Although the concubine of the younger sister's family Entering the palace late, but with a pretty face and a good temper, this entry was also hand-picked today. I think that if I support my concubine, I will have a fight with the saint's favor in the future."

When Wang Ziteng heard this, his heart began to shake even more.But thinking about Yizhong Wang Yidang again, he frowned and said: "If so, then old Qiantui..."

Mrs. Liu shook her head and sighed: "My lord, doesn't your attitude towards Baoyu show your intentions?"

Even giving up his own nephew, isn't this the best way to show loyalty?

Wang Ziteng came to his senses all of a sudden, stretched out his hand to hold Liu's hand, and said with a look of relief: "If you have such a good wife, what more can a husband ask for."

In the following days, Liu took the opportunity to visit Xue Baochai in the palace, but turned a blind eye to Jia Yuanchun from Fengzao Palace.

When Xiao Rong got the news, he just smiled lightly and said, "I finally made up my mind, very good."

As winter approached this year, good news came from Lancui Palace.Feng Baoyi, today's Feng Guiren is finally conferred the title of concubine by mother and son.Became the only concubine in the harem today.

Xiao Rong was really happy, he rewarded a lot of things, and he was no longer so indifferent to Xue Baochai, and occasionally summoned him, showing a little joy.

The queen ate sour plums, supported her big belly with her hands, and said with a smile: "Why did the queen mother suddenly change her attitude towards Xue Baochai?"

Xiao Rong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at the cloudless sky outside the palace, and said: "If this girl treats her well from the beginning, she will only use small tricks to please the servants. She is alone and helpless, so she will find a way to find a new way out. What Aijia is waiting for is when her way is cleared."

At this time, a big bump appeared on the queen's high swollen belly, and the queen said in surprise: "Mother, it's moving."

As soon as Xiao Rong heard it, he immediately changed his mysterious and unpredictable expression, and quickly tied up, and said with a surprised face: "Where is it, let Aijia see..."

The winter of the fifth year of Jianyuan finally came, and the night before New Year's Eve, Xiao Rong finally ushered in her first blizzard in this world.It snowed all night. When I got up early the next morning and opened the window, I saw that the vermilion palace tiles had turned into a vast expanse of white, and even the sycamore tree outside the Changle Hall had turned into fiery trees and silver flowers.

Because it was the New Year's Eve, the emperor also held a palace banquet in the palace as usual. After entertaining civil and military officials and aristocratic families, he completely took half a month off.After approving the memorials on weekdays, he led the queen to chat in Changle Palace to relieve boredom.

At this time, the Changle Palace was joyful and warm, and the floor heating had been burning early, making it very warm.

Xiao Rong sat on a soft chair, with a white fox fur blanket on his lap, holding the heater in his hand, looking at the snow scene outside the window through the window paper, and thought: "Only in this ancient times can we see such pure snow. It's a pity that many innocent people will freeze to death in this year."

Daiyu was wearing a moon-white flowered jacket and a fox fur felt hat of the same color on her head, which made her face look pink and tender.Lie on the window lattice and look at the white snow scene outside, envious in my heart.Glancing at Xiao Rong, seeing Xiao Rong shaking his head, he could only turn his head in disappointment and continue to look outside.

Xiao Rong smiled helplessly: "It's cold today, no matter how healthy you are, you can't stand the cold." Seeing the disappointment on Daiyu's face, he said: "If you want to play, let someone fetch some snow and come in , you can also go to the Flower Appreciation Pavilion to play."

Daiyu turned her head in surprise, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Xiao Rong shook his head with a smile, and said to Nanny Cui, "Go and make arrangements, let the small kitchen make some ginger soup, and turn around to warm up."

Nanny Cui obeyed the order and hurried outside.

Daiyu slowly climbed down from the soft couch, adjusted her felt hat, and was just about to put on her shoes when she heard Ziyan coming in in small steps.

Ziyan first bowed to the two of them, and then said softly: "I'm reporting to the Empress Dowager, and see you outside the hall of Prince Zhongshun."

As soon as Daiyu heard the word 'Zhongshun Wang', her little face turned green immediately, and she started to put on her shoes quickly. After putting on her shoes, she hurriedly said: "My queen, my son is going to the Flower Appreciation Pavilion first. If the king Brother looked for Erchen, and said that Erchen was not here..." After speaking, he ran out.

Xiao Rong stared at Daiyu's back in a daze, blinked and asked, "Did something happen?"

Ziyan shook her head, then suddenly remembered something, and replied: "I heard that the servant girl let go of the white pigeon that the lord locked the lord in a cage."

Xiao Rong asked suspiciously: "It's just a pigeon, is Zhen'er so stingy?"

"I don't know about this servant girl, I just said that she was brought back from Qianxiang Kingdom."

Qian Xiangguo?The fire of gossip in Xiao Rong's heart started to burn again.
