Princess Yuanxiu

Chapter 130 Wei Miaoduan

A piece of jade in the secret bowl of sunflower mouth lotus feet. The sour and sweet smell of cheese milk attracted people's teeth. The curling smoke was spit out from the mouth lying on the incense burner. The fragrance of tortoise shell lingered around the room. Wei Miao gently stirred the secret porcelain spoon painted with double brocade carp at the bottom, took a mouthful of cheese syrup and looked at the Chen around. Set up.

Although she has been in the wild for many years, concubine Hua was taken care of by her when she was a child, so she had a very good relationship with her sisters. Today, when she entered the palace, Wei Huiduan took her directly into her bedroom. At this moment, the two sat opposite each other by the window. In the middle was a small number of cranes with rosewood embedded beads, and a crane was carved at the head and tail. She was beautiful, and she returned to their necks Zhizhi. Pearls are embedded in the place of Zhicao, which is more expensive.

In addition to the five-petal sunflower lotus foot secret bowl for two people to drink, there is also a winding hundred-flower bamboo handle gallbladder pot with buttermil. The gallbladder pot is placed in a wide-mouth glazed plate, which contains crushed ice to calm the taste of cheese pulp. On the edge of the plate is a wide basin with golden lily curved ears, which is divided into four grids, containing four kinds of snacks at the right time, respectively It is yellow rice horn cake, five poison cake, spring cake and mung bean cake, and a small tripod is placed next to it, but it is a soup.

There is a 20% spring beauty's travel picture screen not far behind Wei Huafei, based on cherry wood and inlaid with mica. Next to the screen is a deep wall. Two women in colorful clothes hang their hands under the wall and lower their eyebrows. A little behind them, there is a fiery coral tree on the wall, up to two feet high, and the branches and leaves are intertwined. The color is clear.

"That's a gift from everyone before this time." When Wei Huafei saw Wei Miaoduan looking at the coral, she casually said, "A total of four trees have been found in the inner library, and the queen, me, Zhao and Pei have one each."

"This coral color is transparent." Wei Miaoduan nodded. They were all from Wang family. Although the Tang Palace was rich, it was difficult for ordinary things to impress them. Concubine Wei Hua said carelessly, "The best coral I have seen since entering the palace is the one that Princess Yuanxiu gave Princess Changyang makeup. It is an authentic fire tree silver flower, which has not yet been cut by the coral. Only by raising it with pearls can we get along with each other seamlessly.

Hearing her take the initiative to mention these two princesses, Wei Miaoduan looked at the maid of honor not far away, Huafei Zhiji and shouted, "Qianhui!"

One of the two maids of honor bent his knees and said, "I'm there!"

"There is no need to wait here. You can go out."

After the person was dismissed, Wei Huafei asked, "Does sister have anything to say?"

"Because you are registered as Huafei, you don't need to be the Lord. The Du family has provoked the saints to be unhappy because of Du Qingtang, and it's not his turn to do such a thing." Wei Miaoduan pondered and said slowly, "So I'm not worried about your son-in-law's choice, but this time I came to the palace and heard other fateful women mention that Zhao Fangyi slipped the fetus?"

Wei Huafei smiled faintly: "With the king of Han and the king of Wei, Zhao's child is also there."

"It's nothing about her slippery fetus, but the saint took King Han and King Wei to live in Zichen Hall..." Wei Miaoduan reminded, "Since this dynasty, saints, princes, kings and princesses have their own places to live. During the time of Emperor Taizong, due to the early death of Empress Changsun, the youngest son of Empress Changsun, and later Emperor Gaozong, was young. Together with Princess Jinyang, he personally raised the Emperor Taizong and established him as the crown prince. Even so, some ministers still persuaded Emperor Taizong to return to the East Palace on the 15th of every month and not live with Emperor Taizong. Now that the king of Han has been enlightened, but the saint has not established a prince..."

"This is annoying to the queen." Wei Huafei listened and said lazily, "Sister, you don't know that Zhao has been pregnant from time to time since the five of us entered the palace. On that day, everyone was on Pei's side. She asked someone to spread the story about her abdominal pain. At that time, everyone played chess with Pei Cai for half a day and was in a good mood. After hearing it, they were quite hesitant, but Pei Cairen persuaded him left and right, saying that he would rather believe it or not. He was relieved to go and have a look, and even followed him to the Chengxiang Hall in person. As a result, something really happened this time!" She drank a mouthful of cheese and continued, "Zhao's body is unclean now. King of Han and King Wei is young, and there are not many children under them. Naturally, he wants to move them elsewhere for the time being and wait for Zhao to move back after a month. Originally, it was to be handed over to the queen to the Penglai Hall, but the king of Han and the king of Wei refused. On the day they were born, they didn't know why Princess Yuanxiu also happened to go to Chengxiang Hall and proposed to go to Qingwangguan to pray for the Empress Dowager Wenhua and King Mao on the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone was pestered by the King of Han and the King of Wei for a long time, so she took them to Zichen Hall for temporary residence.

Wei Miaoduan frowned: "Empress dowager Wenhua gave birth to a premature birth because of her family. She was born with only three days left. At that time, the saint was young and cried to the wall... Zhao also slipped! However, the matter of the Empress Dowager and King Mao is a saint's taboo. Even the queen dare not take the initiative to mention it. Only Princess Yuanxiu, who is also the Empress Dowager Wenhua, dares to say that this Zhao was originally a concubine, and she was demoted by the saint because she offended Princess Yuanxiu. Why did Princess Yuanxiu help them this time?

"This nobleman is now urged by her wet nurse, Mrs. Xue, to shoot with her heart and is ready to show her skills in the autumn hunting. Besides, I just said a few words with her at the cherry banquet. I'm not familiar with it. Who knows what she thinks?" Wei Huafei took the parrot fan beside her and pounced on it a few times and said, "However, Zhao's slippery tire may not be too bad for her. In the past few days, people have gone to Chengxiang Hall more and more often. Although they sometimes take Pei Cairen together, it is much more attentive than before. In the end, Zhao's birth is meritorious and waiting for everyone's wedding. On the side, the feelings are different.

Wei Miaoduan immediately alerted: "Except for visiting Zhao Fangyi, who slipped in Chengxiang Hall, is the rest of the time with Pei Cairen in the side hall of Wangxian Hall? Then you have a cool palace..."

"The saint is not good at splitting up. Besides, others don't know. Sister, you know that I don't care about these." Wei Huafei said lazily.

"That's not what I said. Since you have entered the palace and are in the position of the third lady, how can you care about it or not?" Wei Miaoduan stared at her with hatred, "What's more, Zhao Fangyi has always heard that she is shallow, ignorant and spoiled and proud. At the beginning, even the saint's sister Princess Yuanxiu dared to humiliate a palace man! Princess Yuanxiu is the only sister of a saint. Her status is noble, and it's okay. If she is a concubine, if she doesn't have a favor, how high the position is? Which one is lower? Queen Wang, Xiao Shufei at the time of Emperor Gaozong, Zhao Lifei at the time of Emperor Xuanzong, and later Mei Fei? Once you fall out of favor, your talent is like Jiang Caiping, isn't there only the sigh of 'Changmen is unwashed, why do pearls comfort loneliness'?

Seeing Wei Huafei but smiling without saying anything, Wei Miao turned around and whispered, "Is it related to the Zhao family that the saint has not been in the Hanliang Hall during this period?" She patted her hand and woke up, "Yes, I seem to have heard that Zhao wants to choose another wise teacher for King Han because of Zhang Mingzhu's harshness, and he likes Wei Duan? But you rejected it? She won't push this slippery tire to you together, so that you will be deliberately neglected by the saint, will she?

Wei Huafei shook her fan and smiled, "How can these ordinary sour and jealous little means in the harem get on the table in front of everyone? Besides, Zhao is the old man when everyone was the prince. I have only been in the palace for a few days, and I can reach out to the Chengxiang Hall? If you are so capable, can you still sit in front of you?"

In front of the Hanliang Hall where she lives is the Penglai Hall where Empress Wang lives. Wei Miaoduan listened to what she said and took a break. His eyes slipped, but he turned around Wei Huafei's flat abdomen and sincerely prayed, "If you go to the palace next time you hear your good news, it will be fine!"

When Wei Huafei heard the words, she sighed, "I have good news. How can I be as happy as the middle palace?" She looked gloomy and said gently, "If the middle palace has a legitimate son, you don't have to drag me into the water and be detained in this deep palace!"

"Shh!" Wei Miaoduan saw her speech and quickly stopped it. "Serving the saint is your blessing. What are you talking about?"

Seeing that Concubine Wei Hua stopped talking, Wei Miaoduan lowered her voice and said bitterly, "It's better to have a legitimate son in the middle palace than your own parents and children. You also know Du San. If I hadn't been infertile in my early years, now I don't have to look at the concubine's son and a daughter - a concubine's daughter is just a dowry. But the bastard has been raised by his aunt since he was a child, and his relationship with them is closer than Shen Lang. In the future, I don't know how to get the aunt's intention!"

"Their biological mother is just a concubine. Sister, you are our Wei girl. Don't you want to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife?" Wei Huafei frowned!

"This is not, but you also know that Shenlang was born in Dengzhou. At that time, my aunt was ecstatic when she received the news of the birth of her direct grandson. She thought that Dengzhou was not as miserable as Chang'an'an, so she sent someone to pick up Shenlang back to the capital, but as you know, I married Sanlang. For many years, I couldn't ask for a son, and I finally had Shen Lang. How Are you willing to leave his eyes? What's more, Shen Lang was still in his infation at that time. How could he stand the long journey from Dengzhou to Chang'an and the bumpy journey? Wei Miaoduan sighed, "I wrote a letter to refuse my aunt's kindness. I only said that I would send it back when Shenlang grew up. As a result, something happened in Dengzhou, and Sanlang was very busy. Sometimes there were not enough clericals in the government office. I had to imitate his handwriting in private, and I personally nurtured Shen Lang to grow up, and became more and more willing. I couldn't be separated from him. It was not until the beginning of the year that Sanlang was ordered to return to Chang'an. His aunt only saw her direct grandson for the first time, and Shen Lang was shy. zi......”

She shook her head with a wry smile, "In fact, what her aunt said was also right. Dengzhou is a small place compared with Chang'an, and his temperament is not enough. As a direct grandson, although I also teach him carefully on his behavior, there are not many scenes. He is also young, and he is a little compared with his brother! Because of this, my aunt was a little dissatisfied with me, and even strict with Shen Lang, but Shen Lang was more afraid of them..." She said with a headache, "I brought him into the palace today to let him see one or two things. At least I have the temperament of the children of the Guanzhong clan!"

"You brought it up by yourself, how can you lose your atmosphere?" Wei Huafei was very strange, "Besides, at the banquet just now, I see that he is not at your side!"

"His etiquette and manners are not bad, but he is shy. He is okay with familiar people, but he can't even say a word to strangers." Wei Miaoduan said depressedly, "When he returned to Chang'an, Du Qi teased him with a string of jasper walnuts for more than half an hour, but he couldn't coax Uncle Seven, and he didn't blame his aunt for complaining. It's really because I didn't teach him well."

Seeing that she became more and more depressed, Concubine Wei Hua changed the topic: "Speaking of which, the girl Mrs. Li brought to the palace is not even a few years older than Shen Lang. She is really cute."

"That girl named Wang Youting really has the demeanor of the Wang family in Taiyuan--" Wei Miaoduan thought for a moment and said, "But she is the daughter of Wang Da."

Seeing that Wei Huafei was indifferent, Wei Miaoduan frowned and reminded him, "There is nothing in the middle palace now, but I'm afraid that the saint's behavior in the past few months will be used by the royal family, but King Han is old, and there are not many children under the saint's knees. Peicai who newly entered the palace is the most favored and comes from the Hedong Wang clan. Once he is pregnant, I'm afraid that this The palace is even more turbulent. Duan Niang, you have no intention to compete for favor, but at least you should try to protect yourself!"

Concubine Wei Hua breathed and said with a smile, "The queen's birth is there. There is only one person like Wu Zhou from ancient times to the present. Or in this dynasty, will Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong's Deze still have another one after more than 100 years? What's more, everyone is not Emperor Gaozong!"

Seeing that she was not taken seriously, Wei Miaoduan had no choice but to say, "But I hope the queen today is not like her ancestors!"

................................................................................

In the Penglai Hall, in the hall where the palace people and Wang Youting were dismissed like Wei Huafei and Wang Youting were dismissed. Li's face was solemn, pulling the sleeves of the prince's festival, leaning over to her ear, and saying something in a low voice was slightly imperceptible. Wang Shi was shocked and subconsciously covered his mouth with his sleeves, even if he made the heaviest drunkenness. Makeup can't stop the quickly ashamed and red face under the rouge...
