Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 192 Misunderstanding (2)
He Lian lowered her eyes: "The daughter of the Zuo Shilang's family of the Ministry of War who accompanied the concubine this time is very clever and well-born. Although she is a few years younger than the third child, she is very sensible and not self-willed and childish. He is very considerate when accompanying concubines and concubines." Seeing the emperor's concentration and silence, he added: "At the banquet, Miss Yun, although she entered the palace for the first time, she has the demeanor of everyone. Yesterday the queen mother stayed in the palace to accompany her to rest One night."

As soon as the words came out, Emperor Ning Xi frowned: "Yun Xuanchang's eldest daughter, Yunshi Wanqin?"

He Lianshi was startled, and as soon as he mentioned it, the emperor could blurt out the girl's boudoir name, as if he was familiar with it, but after thinking about it again, it's not surprising, last night, Zhu Shun named Hong Yan as the head of Tangzhou. The matter of the descendants of the military officer Zhan was reported to Emperor Ning Xi, and Jiang Yin went to the Palace of Political Affairs to find Emperor Ning Xi to re-examine the old case. When the two of them stated the whole story, they would inevitably mention Yun Wanqin between the lines. The emperor was deeply impressed by Yun Wanqin , it's nothing, she quickly nodded: "Yes, your majesty, she is the eldest girl of the Yun family."

After a long while, Emperor Ning Xi said: "It turns out that the girl you are looking at is the girl. Although I have never seen that girl, I heard Zhu Shun and Jiang Yin talk about it yesterday, and I feel that she is a bit of an ordinary lady. His courage and chivalry are interesting."

When He Lianshi heard this, the emperor thought it was good, so there was something to be said for it: "No, your majesty, although the girl looks delicate and tender, she looks a bit small, but she has something in her heart, and she is a bit of a man." Her father is the second-in-command of the Ministry of War, and the concubine heard that she was going to be promoted to minister soon, so she is a second-rank minister, and it is reasonable to match the imperial court as a side concubine."

Speaking of this, the Helian family only regarded it as a good thing, nine out of ten it will be done, the woman's background and status are suitable, she is liked by the Empress Dowager Jia, and the emperor praised a few more, so there is no big problem.

Unexpectedly, when Helianshi opened the skylight and said something bright, Emperor Ning Xi remained silent, without the smile he had when he praised people.

Helian's heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty, do you think that Miss Yun's family is not good..."

Emperor Ning Xi waved his hand: "It's not bad."

It's not bad, but there is some hesitation about Yun Wanqin being the third eldest concubine, and Helian feels strange. Could it be that the emperor thinks that Miss Yun is not qualified enough to be the prince's concubine, or that he needs to consider it?But judging by his face, it doesn't look like he's picking on Miss Yun... But he didn't say anything more, and continued to serve the emperor to dress.

After the food was ready, Yao Fushou respectfully said outside the curtain: "The imperial chariot is ready, it's about time, the emperor can drive to Fengtian Hall at any time."

Emperor Ning Xi let out a "hmm", and seeing that Helian seemed a little disappointed, he comforted him: "Yuyan, if the government affairs are free in the next court today, I will come to enjoy the early plum blossoms with you again. This morning's time is limited, and we are still waiting for you." I didn’t have time to appreciate it.”

He Lianshi didn't get any confirmation, she was really disappointed, but at the moment when she heard that the emperor will come, she was still happy, bowed softly: "Yuyan will wait for the emperor in the palace at any time," after finishing speaking, he personally sent the emperor out of the palace to go to court.

Emperor Ning Xi passed by the courtyard and caught a glimpse of Lan Ting just coming out of the plum grove, holding a large block of steaming brick ice in his arms, because he ran into Long Yan head-on, he was stopping by the side of the road.

Yesterday, according to Ms. Yun's instructions, Lanting wrapped the ice cubes in cloth and buried them in the soil under the tree. Ms. Yun said that if the plum blossoms bloom, the ice cubes must be taken out, and they cannot be used forcibly. , so as not to backfire, Lan Ting saw that Emperor Ning Xi had left Mei Lin, thinking about Miss Yun's words that the ice cubes under the plum blossoms could not be stored for long, so he hurried to get the ice out, but unexpectedly bumped into Emperor Ning Xi.

As Lan Ting expected, Emperor Ning Xi stopped and subconsciously asked: "It's so cold, what are you doing with ice in your hand?"

Lan Ting looked at her mother, He Lianshi had nothing to hide, she thought about it, it was a good opportunity, she went over and said lightly: "Your Majesty, this year's concubine is lucky to win the first prize, it's not the flower god's blessing, it's the Yun family Miss knows how to help, so that we can enjoy the late autumn and early plum blossoms."

Emperor Ning Xi was stunned: "She, how can you make plum blossoms bloom early?"

He Lianshi briefly explained Yun Wanqin's method, and only hoped that Yun Wanqin would just hit the emperor's heart, make the emperor happy, accept Yun Wanqin, this is already the biggest room she can help the emperor, and then You can only look at the girl's fortune.

Emperor Ning Xi only heard that the alkali powder turned into water to make the flowers bloom, his thick eyebrows moved suddenly, and he murmured: "Alkaline water makes the plum bloom."

"That's right," Helian smiled, "The concubine also thought it was a fairy tale when she heard it at the time. I don't know where this little girl got her idea, but she didn't expect it to be really useful."

Emperor Ning Xi's face recovered, the corners of his mouth raised, and he forced a smile: "Well, this girl Yun Xuanchang has a lot of tricks." Although it was a compliment, his tone was dry, as if forced out, Yao Fushou was good at observing words and expressions, Taking a peek at Emperor Ning Xi's face, he coughed twice, and said respectfully: "It's getting late, and all the courtiers are probably here, the emperor should go to Fengtian Hall."

He Lian didn't dare to entangle any more, and leaned over: "Respectfully send the emperor off."

Emperor Ning Xi glanced at Mei Lin from a distance, and left the Ming Cui Hall with Yao Fushou.

The imperial chariot bypassed the zigzagging palace wall, walked halfway, and stopped suddenly.

Yao Fushou, who was following behind, trotted forward, only as if the emperor had something to order.

Emperor Ning Xi's white and handsome hand opened the chariot tent: "It's still early, I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning first, and say good morning to the Queen Mother, and then go to the Palace of Fengtian."

Good morning to the Queen Mother?Yao Fushou was taken aback, the emperor is filial, no matter how busy the government affairs are, he will set aside time to greet the queen mother two or three times a day, but good mornings usually go after the next court, and he never sees the court rushing forward. I want to ask one more question, thinking about it, the emperor is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking... Swallowing the words, he hastily ordered the imperial chariot to be transferred to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Cining Palace.

Yun Wanqin received a gift yesterday, she was given a seat by the brocade couch by the window, and spent half an evening talking with the Empress Dowager Jia, full of folk pleasures, elegant affairs of the boudoir, and the usual little jokes about changing fat and getting more popular Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Jia was very happy, smiling from ear to ear, until the clappers started fighting at the second watch, Zhu Shun and the old lady who served him urged her repeatedly, and the Empress Dowager reluctantly went back to her bed and went to bed.

Afterwards, Yun Wanqin was placed to rest in an ear hall next to the empress dowager's bedroom. She thought she would choose a bed, but a lot of things happened when she entered the palace. She was exhausted physically and mentally. The soft silk and slippery silk almost blended with the skin, and fell asleep beautifully as soon as the head touched the pillow, without a dream all night.

At dawn the next day, Yun Wanqin finished grooming, dressed, and slept on the silk soft couch for a night. She had nourished all her energy. Looking at the sky, it was time to leave the palace. Under the leadership of the maid, Go down and kneel down to the Empress Dowager Jia to bid farewell.

Empress Dowager Jia saw that the girl woke up overnight, full of energy, her cheeks flushed with pink, her beautiful eyes watery, and more agile. When she entered the palace yesterday, she changed into a light and elegant dress, and now she is wearing a palace suit. The new clothes she prepared were completely different from yesterday's clothes. It was a five-color brocade silk skirt that stretched across the floor. It makes the complexion look as white and greasy as curdled milk.
