Hou Kun

Chapter 68 Virtuous
The Empress Dowager looked at Fucha Qingning, who was neatly in front of her, knelt down to thank her, kept the tassels on her head motionless, her figure was stable, her clear voice was like a bird, and she liked it in her heart.But in her eyes, except for the queen, everyone else is just a concubine, and a concubine is just an object, which is placed there to add luster, and the real blessing depends on whether her stomach is up to date.

The queen also gave a handle of white jade Ruyi, and the other satin beads and jade were sent to the Yonghe Palace.Qing Ning also went to the queen to thank the empress with a shy face, seeing the maid serving tea next to her, she took it over and served her.Originally, the palace didn't pay much attention to serving concubines and serving tea. After entering the palace, they are the masters and ministers, and the concubines are not like the concubines of ordinary people. After all, they are decent.But when we got here, the queen took it.

The queen mother looked at it with a smile, turned her head and said to the queen, "Your master will come over later, he is busy, so I rushed to invite him."

Qing Ning knew that the Queen Mother was here to let her meet, so that the two of them would not be abrupt when they were lucky at night.Two red clouds suddenly rose on his face, the corners of his mouth were biting slightly, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

The queen only cares about gossiping with the queen mother.The Empress Dowager remembered that it would be February [-]nd in a few days, and asked, "In these three days, let people put away all the scissors and don't use needles and thread. , is always right."

What is the emphasis on, but I am afraid that the maids and concubines will mess around.Maybe the dragon eyes are hidden in the palace, the dragon opened its eyes on the first day of February, what should you do if you poke blindly and blind the dragon eyes?What is longan? It is the eyes of the emperor. Isn't it the most taboo in the palace?
Others are okay, but the empress dowager can't even listen to it.

The Queen hurriedly agreed, "As I told you earlier, the clothes, embroidery and sewing room of the Guangchu Division have been closed for the past few days, and the sewing and scissors are not allowed to be used. The sweeping has also started. I am most afraid of bugs." Yes. I have ordered you to clean up all the insects that have been hidden in the corner of the kang for a whole winter. There is also food, here at Ernie, I want to make some spring pancakes by myself, stir-fry some mustard green tofu, etc. Or do you want to make baggy fire and vermicelli soup?"

The empress dowager loves to eat, and the small kitchen of the Compassion Palace is very good at making these.It's just that on February [-], no matter master or slave, they must do it themselves.It is also an auspicious city.Of course, the queen will just wait and see, it's the royal chef who will do the real work.

The Empress Dowager decided with her, should I prefer freshly sprouted bracken or shepherd's purse?I talked about changing jackets again, this year it was so hot, the maids kept moving, they changed jackets early, but it was still cold in the morning and evening, and if I didn't pay attention, I would get sick from the cold.

After talking for a while, the sound of clapping was heard outside.The queen knew that the emperor had arrived, so she got up to meet him.

Suge was like a transparent person, shrinking behind the queen without making a sound.The empress dowager, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chattering about february festival, just like ordinary people's homes, it was full of fun to listen to, and they couldn't help thinking about Amagene and grandma.

They are still in the icy and snowy grassland at the moment, can't they eat shepherd's purse?Grandma is the best shepherd's purse dumpling. In previous years, on February [-]nd, she also followed suit, but she was not as particular about it as there were in the palace. She could make a new trick with her hands, and the whole family would sit around and eat happily. After the training, grandma had a bitter face, and she tried to stop her but did not dare to stop her. In the end, Er Nie came forward and complained that a good meal was spoiled, so Ama was willing to give up.

This kind of life is the same in every family, but now, she can only listen to the Queen Mother and the others here, that the life in the palace belongs to them and has nothing to do with her.

Following the queen to the outside porch to meet the emperor, Su Ge seemed to see how the person Qing Ning was going to marry was different from other people, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous. She sneaked a glance behind and only saw the emperor's big braid. Two emerald green jadeite pendants, and the hem of a bright yellow tuanlong.

When the emperor was seated, the empress dowager called Qingning over with a smile, "Kowtow to your master, and serve carefully in the future."

The emperor had seen someone dressed differently from the one in the palace. At this moment, his slender body was kneeling on the gold bricks, and he said in a soft voice, "Slave Fucha, I respectfully ask for the emperor's peace."

Raising her hand and shouting, the girl straightened up, with a fair and delicate face, a slender waist, and facial features perfectly placed on her face, "Are you from the Qingheng family?"

Qing Ning said, "My slave, Ama, is Qing Heng."

The emperor's face softened a little, and when he saw Concubine Kang at the side, he suddenly remembered that he and Concubine Kang were sisters, "Your sister just came here, you should mention it more."

Concubine Kang saw that the emperor no longer had a gloomy face, knowing that her sister had fallen into the emperor's eyes, she was both happy and a little sad.I was busy, and didn't dare to say more.

The queen still had a smiling face, "The two people don't look alike, look at this female compatriot, two flowers have grown."

The Empress Dowager continued this conversation and started to talk about family matters, she turned to her children, and envied them when they had more children.

The emperor listened calmly, without interrupting, and stayed with him for a while before going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Before walking to the Ci Ning Gate, he remembered something, frowned and asked the empress who sent him off, "You should ask more about the imperial concubine, there should be no shortage."

The queen gritted her teeth, her face was slightly hot, "This servant has long since avoided the imperial concubine's greetings, and often sent people to ask, the imperial concubine is weak, so the slave was afraid that going too much would disturb her rest, so I also sent a message, arresting everyone. Let Qin go."

The imperial concubine had cut off Shi Jingming's head and exiled Shi Jing'an. Fu Lun was implicated, fined a year's salary, and rushed out of the barracks in fright. How nervous is the belly of the imperial concubine.But whoever gives birth to an elder brother is afraid that he will become the crown prince in the future.

The queen was afraid that if she made a mistake again, she would be hurt, so she didn't go at all.

The emperor heard her say that the people in the palace were not allowed to disturb, nodded and said, "It should be like this."

The queen looked at his face, and said, "Now I have started to look for experienced birth grandmothers. When the time comes, Jingqi, hot water, and lights will all be looking for someone who has given birth to a son. Don't worry, master, the slave will definitely do his best."

The emperor glanced at her, Shu Lan had a serious face and was a little scared, so he believed what she just said.Nodding to leave, the queen said again, "The imperial concubine has to raise a baby now, so she can't serve the master. Concubine Ning has also entered the palace. She seems to be safe. Let her serve you in front of the emperor."

The emperor didn't object, and stepped onto the soft platform, surrounded by the imperial eunuchs, and went up the long street.

The queen stood, looking at the direction in which Sheng Jia was going away, waited for a while, and pressed the big hairy flowers on her temples, then turned and walked back, saying to Qing Ning beside her, "Get ready, I'll serve you tonight."

Qing Ning followed to see the emperor out, and the empress's few words were genuine.Before, I doubted my sister's credulity, how could there be such a generous queen in the world, but now I have met Fang Xin.However, she also felt the coldness between the emperor and empress.Probably because of this, the empress spared no effort to save the emperor's heart.
