Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 302

Two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Yiqing was invited by the queen to enter the palace for an audience.

This is Yiqing's first time entering the palace. The new emperor came to the throne in July last year. She is pregnant with Liujia. On the first day of the new year, a hundred officials ordered women to enter the palace to congratulate her. She is confinement, and the queen just entered the palace and is in charge of management There is no leisure for the affairs of the Sixth Palace every day. It is not surprising that the two have not been able to meet again since June last year.

Before leaving, Zheng Jingyan explained the current situation in the palace, reassuring Yiqing not to be afraid, and personally sent her to the gate of the inner palace. After seeing her disappear, he went to Qinzheng Palace to see the emperor.

Empress Xu looked a little haggard because of the embarrassment, and her expression was tired, but she still had the strength to speak.

Yiqing knelt down and saluted, the queen signaled the maids to step back, took Yiqing's hand to sit on the soft couch, and said: "You don't have to be restrained by my side, you and I should talk like before... After you give birth Bao'er, it looks like she's changed, she's even more charming!"

Yiqing lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, you are joking, after the concubine gave birth to Bao'er, she is fatter than before..."

Empress Xu smiled and said: "It's good to be fat. Is it possible that you want to be as thin as me? I have been very busy since entering the palace. I don't remember to take care of my body. Now I am pregnant, but I can't eat well and sleep well." No, it's hard!"

Yiqing comforted her: "It's always like this when I'm sick, after a while, it will be fine."

"Of course I know, it's just that I didn't work so hard when I was pregnant with the eldest princess and the eldest prince. Ah Yan said that my physique is not as good as before. It seems that it was because I was too busy a while ago and neglected my body."

"Then you have to pay attention to maintenance, no matter how busy you are, you must have a good body to take care of it."

"That's the reason, I know I was wrong now, in the future, I won't be stupid anymore!"

Talking gossip, when mentioning the zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, the queen smiled and praised: "Ah Yan said you made it for me with your own hands, and I gave some of the eight cold brown rice dumplings to the sick Princess Shou, and I will take care of the rest. Ah Yan said to eat with some powdered sugar, I eat one a day, and I ate it all! It is indeed unique, fragrant and refreshing, soft and chewy without feeling greasy. In addition, those stuffed with meat, hehe, I didn’t have time to taste it , the emperor and the children one by one, and they asked me for it after eating, how could I have it?"

Yiqing hurriedly said: "It's the concubine who didn't think carefully and only cared about the empress, so I should bring more rice dumplings with other fillings for the princes and princesses to try too!"

Empress Xu was very satisfied, and waved her hand and said: "It is enough to have this kind of heart! How can you do a lot by yourself? You have to worry about wrapping cold brown rice for me, and for your family, relatives and friends. I gave away quite a lot, which is as it should be. After all, Xu’s family is Ah Yan’s maternal ancestral home, and it’s time to recognize relatives! As for the dolls in the palace, the imperial chef also made rice dumplings for them, but it’s not as delicious as yours. .”

After taking a sip of tea, Empress Xu said again: "The emperor said, since the girl the King of Xiang likes is your sister, she wouldn't be too far behind if you think about it, but the King of Xiang insists on the emperor's royal pen to write a marriage letter, and promises to be the only one in this life. His wife, however, pissed off the Emperor. This is also because the King of Xiang will not compromise on matters. If we leave it to us women to handle things, it will be much smoother. But then again, the requirement of 'one pair for a lifetime' is your sister. proposed?"

"no!"

Yiqing shook her head resolutely: "Empress Empress: The concubine's younger sister, Leqing, is just a 13-year-old girl who just came from the countryside, and she is very timid. She didn't dare to meet the King of Xiang at first, thinking that the prince is noble. It’s not something she can look up to! But my sister has loved roses since she was a child, and it’s a fact that she takes pleasure in serving roses. King Xiang recognized Le Qing and insisted on marrying her for this reason! He thinks there are many people who love flowers , but there are very few women who are willing to grow flowers, and they actually regard Yue Qing as his bosom friend!"

Empress Xu nodded: "I know this because of the bond between roses. But that kind of request is too much. If it's not Yue Qing's intention, it's just King Xiang's nonsense, it doesn't matter. I will take care of this for him." The matter is over - the emperor is unwilling to grant marriages for others because of Ah Yan's refusal to marry. I still have to take care of the matter between King Xiang and Yue Qing! I call you here today, one is to reminisce about the old days, and the other is to ask some questions about the past. About Yueqing, in a few days, you have to bring your sister to show me. The late emperor passed away, and the King of Xiang was served by the late emperor before his death. He was grateful for the kindness of his father and the emperor. He had to keep his filial piety for three years, but every time he The first time he entered the palace, I saw his appearance was very pitiful - he is 21 years old, he has not been able to marry a wife, and he will have to live for another three or two years, it is really hard for him! If we can settle the marriage first, Maybe it's a consolation for him too."

Yiqing only heard one of the queen's words, "The emperor refused to marry because of Ah Yan", she was taken aback for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Empress, what did you just say——Ayan refused to marry?"

Empress Xu was a little surprised: "What? You don't know? Didn't Ah Yan tell you?"

"I only watch my children do housework at home every day, and I don't know what's going on outside. Ah Yan, he didn't say anything to me!"

Empress Xu looked at her and sighed slightly: "Ah Yan always loves others, you should be more considerate to him in the future!"

Yiqing said yes, and Empress Xu continued: "It was Uncle Zhonglie who came to the palace to beg for grace. On the grounds that his heir, Queen Yaozhen, and Wen Guogong Zheng Jingyan have been together for many years, and they promised each other for life, he asked the emperor to make the decision. Wang Yaozhen was assigned to Ah Yan, and she will sit side by side with you, as his wife! You also know that Uncle Zhonglie has made great contributions to the emperor, and the emperor thinks highly of him, so he agreed to it, but when he came to Ah Yan, Ah Yan couldn't resist. Cong, and said that if he wanted to force the decree, his family had no choice but to die! The emperor had no choice but to leave this matter to me, and he didn't want to take care of it! According to the relationship between me and Ah Yan, I naturally don't want Ah Yan. In a dilemma, I was thinking of choosing another relative for Wang Yaozhen, but I didn't expect Concubine Qian to recommend a side concubine for King Yue, but it was Wang Yaozhen! She also said that the King of Yue and the girl made an agreement, mutual consent! You say this Coincidentally? I summoned the female family members of Uncle Zhonglie's mansion for questioning. The Mrs. Uncle Zhonglie was very interesting, she raised her hands willingly, and said that Wang Yaozhen of her family liked the King of Yue. One, and they asked for it themselves, so they will be happy to fulfill their wish!"

It was only then that Yiqing realized that she had been living in a dream, and that her peaceful and peaceful family was almost torn apart unconsciously by the emperor!
When an imperial decree for bestowing marriage comes down, it will be a dead end. Who dares to doubt the emperor's will?It's impossible to get overwhelmed, Wang Yaozhen is impossible to quit, only Xia Yiqing will never serve a husband with others, and she will run away even if she dies, but at that time, even if she doesn't die, she may only have half her life left - ——The Zheng family would not give Bao'er to her no matter what, and for her son, she would definitely torture herself to death!
