Chapter 120
When the queen mother saw it, she said kindly: "If there is anything else, just say it."
The eunuch kowtowed, and said vividly: "When the immortal Buddha appeared, he was standing in the middle of the nobleman's way back to the palace! The old slave boldly guessed that Xu was the first emperor who was reluctant to return the princess to the palace, and hoped that the nobleman and the princess would continue to copy in Huangjue Temple. After praying for blessings, I can also be filial to the Holy One, so that the late emperor can enjoy the family happiness!"
Concubine Chen was not the only one in the palace who didn't want Yuan Chun and the princess to return to the palace. As soon as the old eunuch said the words, several concubines immediately echoed.The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Zhao, who was thoughtful.
Yuanchun only gave birth to a princess, and he did not lack a daughter Chenghuan, so Emperor Zhao didn't care whether they entered the palace or not.Although the Jia family has collapsed, her two brothers are still promising. If she is really allowed to live in Huangjue Temple, he will be more at ease.
Emperor Zhao had a plan in mind, so he looked at the queen mother.
After many years of mother and child, the Empress Dowager understood her understanding and said with a smile: "Since it was the late emperor's intention, according to Ai's family, let the nobleman and the princess continue to live in Huangjue Temple and honor the late emperor! It's just that according to the ancestors' rules, nobles can't raise children. This The role still needs to be promoted, queen, what do you think?"
When the queen heard this, she hurriedly said: "What the queen mother said is that the concubine was negligent."
She lowered her head slightly, with a smile on her lips, but a sigh in her heart.
Originally, she suppressed this matter, and wanted to let Yuan Chun and other concubines be promoted together during the Chinese New Year, so that the emperor's attention to Yuan Chun could be reduced.Unexpectedly, Yuan Chun has become the focus of all concubines now, and I don't know where the good luck came from...
After thinking for a while, she smiled and said: "There are several sisters in the palace, and they may not have moved for a long time. The concubine originally wanted to wait until after the Chinese New Year, and invite the Holy One together. Today, I will be blessed by nobleman Yuan."
As she said that, she called out the names of several concubines who were older but still in low positions.Those young and juicy ones, the queen will not be so stupid as to let them climb up.
The Empress Dowager nodded after hearing this, and Emperor Zhao had no objection, but when it came to Yuanchun, the Empress Dowager said: "Since serving in front of the gods and Buddhas, Jin Yuanchun should be a virtuous concubine, which is more decent."
Concubine Xian!The head of the four concubines?
Both the queen and concubine Chen were shocked, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.
The two secretly looked at Emperor Zhao, who looked calm and nodded happily: "Yes."
As soon as the imperial decree came out, everyone's faces became colorful, but those who celebrated the Chinese New Year didn't dare to disappoint, everyone still smiled reluctantly, looking very happy for Yuan Chun.
But in their hearts, they beat the small drums one after another, secretly rejoicing that Yuan Chun could not return to the palace.
As expected of a woman who has been a noble concubine, even if her mother's family collapsed and she was demoted to a noble person, she returned to the concubine position after only a year or so!Still the position of Concubine Xian!
Emperor Zhao was in the upper position, admiring the secret expressions of everyone, he was very satisfied.
One of the four concubines is missing, Concubine Chen wants to squeeze in by herself, and the queen wants to push her people in.He was worried, and it was just right to fill in Yuanchun.The harem has become a tripartite force again, and the empress and concubine Chen can also calm down a little.
Even if Concubine Chen wanted to grit her teeth, she had to smile, and said, "Your Majesty still loves the little princess." The child is as precious as the mother, and the emperor loves the child so much that he was promoted to Yuanchun, which has nothing to do with Yuanchun!
Emperor Zhao just laughed and didn't refute.
The queen's smile remained unchanged, and as soon as she turned her head, she said to the queen mother: "The concubine thinks, children are delicate, so they should be filial, and they can't be too simple. There happened to be a temple near Huangjue Temple for eating and drinking. The Huangzhuang, why not repair it and allocate it to the concubine Yuan and the princess, so that the children can live more comfortably."
After the place is repaired, it is best for Yuanchun and the princess to live there for a lifetime!
After all, he is a royal family, and it doesn't matter if he is too shabby. The Queen Mother and Emperor Zhao naturally agreed.
So, the eunuch who was going to welcome Yuanchun back to the palace, holding the imperial decree, followed by a group of palace guards carrying rewards and New Year's regulations, rushed to Huangjue Temple.
After returning to Yunxia Palace, Concubine Chen was so angry that she dropped three teacups in a row, and even slapped the little maid twice to vent her anger.
"This bitch, I don't know what kind of luck it is! If I come back to the palace, I have a lot of ways to punish her. I didn't expect that not only did she not return to the palace, but she was promoted to a concubine! She actually fell on top of me!"
Originally when Yuanchun returned to the palace, Concubine Chen had already bought off the little eunuchs in the guard of honor. She planned to break the shaft of the car when she entered the palace gate. Even if it didn't hurt Yuanchun and the children, it would give them a bad reputation. .
When returning to the palace during the Chinese New Year, the shaft of the chariot broke at the gate of the palace, which is not a good thing!
At that time, the palace people spread the news everywhere that Yuan Chun and the princess were not known because they broke their promise to copy scriptures and pray for the late emperor.If another eminent monk comes to speak to the Queen Mother, not only can Yuan Chun and the princess be driven back to Huangjue Temple, but also they can go back in a miserable state!
As a result, all calculations are now over!
The maid hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, at least...they won't be able to return to the palace for more than ten years. Things in the palace change every year. Even if the princess grows up in the future, what's the use of them returning to the palace? The palace is already dominated by the empress, so if the princess is randomly chosen to marry, and the nobleman is old and decrepit, how does the sage remember her? Isn't it all up to the empress to decide!"
"The empress is still pregnant with a dragon fetus, don't be angry, lest you scare our little prince."
After all, it was Concubine Chen's confidant who comforted Concubine Chen with a few words and calmed her down.Concubine Chen lovingly touched her stomach, finally she had a smile on her face.
Seeing this, Bao Cong came out of the illusion.
The idea of descending gods and Buddhas from heaven was still obtained from Concubine Chen.Concubine Chen planned to make Yuanchun and the princess an ominous person, so he simply turned the other way, and didn't need Yuanchun to go to the gate of the palace, and didn't even need to go out of Huangjue Temple, just made an auspicious appearance.
In this way, not only broke Chen Fei's plan, but also allowed Yuan Chun and the princess to continue living outside the palace, killing two birds with one stone!
"It's New Year's Eve, happy event~ That's Lianlian~" Bao Cong was so happy after the matter of Yuanchun was settled, he even hummed a ditty tune with insufficiency, and wandered all the way to Lin Daiyu's study to find a wife.
Lin Daiyu looked at Baocong foolishly, and asked him to help copy the book.As Bao Cong opened it, he asked casually: "What is the only copy that bothered you so much that you wanted to copy it yourself?"
After opening it, it is not an isolated book, but a simple teaching material for teaching children to read and write!
Bao Cong was taken aback, and looked at Lin Daiyu: "You wrote this yourself?"
Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "These are the characters I taught the children to recognize. I saw that the children in You'anju were also very interested in recognizing characters, so I copied a few more copies and asked Asparagus to take them for them to use."
"Asparagus?" Bao Cong tasted the words and said, "It doesn't look like a girl's name, you gave it to me?"
Lin Daiyu nodded, focusing on smoothing and folding the rice paper that had been copied and dried, and let Zijuan take it to bind it into a book.
Bao Cong circled around Lin Daiyu, exclaiming, "You, did you accept that child as your disciple?"
Lin Daiyu glanced at Bao Cong, shook her head, "Not really." But after thinking about it, it's not impossible to accept a disciple, it's quite novel.
Bao Cong laughed and said, "Just throw a banquet and accept it officially!"
Lin Daiyu burst out laughing: "You're so excited, why don't you take in a little disciple yourself?"
Bao Cong waved his hands again and again, and said: "I don't have a few drops of ink in my stomach, what can I teach others? I can't compare to you for your brilliant knowledge of the present and the past."
Lin Daiyu smiled, pushed him down in front of the desk, dipped a brush in the ink and gave it to him, saying: "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, you are the one with the most free time, copy it!"
Bao Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, counting from his previous life, he hadn't copied books a few times, now he picked up this job again when he was old?
After murmuring a few words, he copied it honestly.
Lin Daiyu took a travel note by herself, leaned on the small couch and read it. She didn't turn the pages of the book, but looked at Baozheng.
He sat upright, with his wrists in the air, holding his breath.I write stroke by stroke, carefully, for fear that I will waste the paper if I write a wrong word; I glance at the book from time to time, dip in the ink, and then write again. It's so fun!
If Lin Daiyu knew that after hundreds of years, there would be such a thing as a camera, she would wish to freeze dozens of pictures and save them...
The New Year's Eve is approaching, but Yuanchun is not peaceful yet.
Qiaoyan actually wanted to enter the palace!
"Your Majesty, my servant's father is still suffering in the frontier. I really can't bear to see him suffer like this at an old age. Seeing him die in that bitter cold place, and even his coffin cannot return home after death..." Qiaoyan knelt in front of Yuanchun, begging bitterly.
After the exiles died, they could only be dragged and thrown in mass graves.Even if Bao Cong took good care of him, Qiaoyan's father could only be buried in Xinjiang and could not be transported back to his hometown.
If she continued to stay by Yuan Chun's side, she would have no chance to intercede for her father and let her father return to his hometown to retire safely!
Yuan Chun also knew this, but what about her child?She had all relied on Qiaoyan's medical skills before, and wanted her to take care of Xuan'er!
Knowing Yuan Chun's scruples, Qiaoyan hurriedly said: "If your mother is worried about the princess, this servant has contacted a good friend of my father's who is very proficient in rare and difficult diseases. His medical skills are ten times better than this servant, and I will definitely try my best to cure the princess for your mother." disease!"
"Are you telling the truth?" When it came to his daughter's illness, Yuan Chun was moved, but hesitated: "You don't mean to lie to me by saying this just to enter the palace yourself?"
Qiaoyan shook her head again and again, and raised her hand to swear: "If the servant girl speaks a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die! My father will be tortured in Xinjiang, and his soul will not be able to return to his hometown after death!"
People at that time valued filial piety, and Qiaoyan swore an oath on her own father, which shows her determination.
If there is really a famous doctor to treat Xuan'er, it's not like Yuan Chun can't let Qiaoyan go.
When Qiaoyan enters the palace, the queen and concubine Chen will focus on Qiaoyan, not her and the princess.And Qiaoyan was alone, unable to duel with the Queen and Concubine Chen, and could only rely on her and Baocong's influence in the palace, so it was quite appropriate.
Yuan Chun said: "I know what's on your mind, let me think about it carefully."
That being said, in fact, she has already started planning in her heart, how to arrange Qiaoyan to enter the palace during the New Year's Lantern Festival, not only to enter the palace, but also to let Emperor Zhao take a look and win a place!
On New Year's Eve, Bao Cong and Lin Daiyu naturally went back to live with Mrs. Wang, but they stayed for two or three days before going back.According to Mrs. Wang, Bao Cong was born to be angry with her, and every word he said in his mouth opposed her and poked her heart. If he didn't shake in front of him, she would be less angry.
Bao Cong didn't care, he just asked Mrs. Wang to be in good health, and to do little tricks secretly.
Mrs. Wang disliked Baocong's troubles, so she missed Baoyu more and more, so she wrote to her hometown and asked when Baoyu would come back to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper of the old house wrote back and said that Baoyu was not in Jinling, but went to study in Yangzhou...
study?
Bao Cong muttered, the Qinhuai River in Yangzhou is famous, Baoyu don't study on the Huaniang boat, right?
