Chapter 278 Guo Shuang
"Where did Zhao Fangyi change?" Huo Wei smiled and said, "Green Lady has forgotten the scene when she just arrived at the East Palace. Not to mention treating our family, isn't she greeted and attentively all day long in front of today's queen and the crown princess at that time? Until the birth of King Han, Her Royal Highness had nothing to do because of her three years of marriage. Originally, she also planned to take King Han by her side and raise her first. As a result, Zhao Fangyi made a big scene when she was still in confinement, shouting that Her Royal Highness clearly wanted to keep her mother and son. When King Han was picked up, she would not be allowed to live again. At that time, the late emperor was not in good physical well. Her Royal Highness was worried about making trouble in front of the late emperor and lost the face of the East Palace in vain, so she gave up. After that, everyone knew that Zhao Fangyi had been favored by Wulang and served diligently because she was just because she had no children. Later, she gave birth to the King of Wei, and then she really became arrogant. This was just a new I just know my position in the palace.
Cai Lv listened to his words and thought about it carefully and nodded, "What Grandpa Huo said was that Zhao's behavior in recent years was too domineering and listened a lot, but he forgot that Zhao was also cautious at first. Previously, when she saw a newcomer entering the palace, she did not do so. She never thought that as soon as the Zheng Meiren lost her child, she understood. Come here."
"Although Zheng Meiren has only entered the palace not long ago, she is also the direct girl of Xingyang Zheng. Moreover, she was not very noticeable in the palace. This time she was pregnant, and there was no previous sound in the palace. Even so, she also fell pregnant. Zhao Fangyi certainly has two sons. How can she not be afraid? In addition, after the newcomer entered the palace, Golang loved Pei very much and neglected her a lot. Now he has made up with the queen. Zhao Fangyi is shallow and vulgar, and she is not completely blind. Huo Wei smiled and saw that Yuanxiu just closed his eyes and listened to them. He lowered his hand and asked, "Speaking of which, Golang handed over this matter to the A family, thinking that it was also to find an opportunity for the A family to promote to the throne, so it is better to do this matter beautifully. Now it has been three days since Golang issued the order. The A family is intelligent, but it also wants Let everyone know that it was not until the eldest princess was published in the first volume of the ceremony that they were convinced inside and outside the palace.
Yuan Xiu opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Is this said by Yu hydrocarbons?"
"When the A family went out today, the fish father-in-law came to ask once." Huo Wei did not hide it. He bowed with a smile and said back, "After all, Zhao Fangyi is fine. Zheng Meiren's brother is very fond of Princess Yunzhou. Because of Zhang Mingzhu's impeachment, the Zheng family and son were reprimanded only a few days ago, but it's time to have been decreed in the past few days. Moreover, two things have happened in the palace for several months. Now There are much fewer people who lead the ice in the bedroom, and they are afraid that they will be too greedy.
Yuan Xiu listened and said lightly, "Then bring a person around Zheng Meiren to ask questions."
"Is the old slave going now?" Huo Wei asked quickly.
"No, I'm still tired when I come back. Let's wait until I take a nap." Yuan Xiu said tiredly.
Seeing her look tired, Cai Lan hurriedly said, "It's been a while since the ice basin in the bedroom was sent in. Presumably, it's just right now. Since the A family is tired, it's better to sleep in it for a while. When the time comes, I'll call the A family."
"Then wake me up in an hour." Yuan Xiu answered and got up with his green hand and walked to the bedroom.
Guo Xue cleaned up the remaining tea and sent it to the bottom. She picked oranges and just left her a bowl of ice fruit, but she chopped the seasonal fruits, added some ice and stirred them well, and calmed them down in the well. At this time, the fruits in the palace were not surprising, especially Yuanxiu, who was a princess, who had always been rich, and even the people around him could often get rewards. It's just that Bing has never even used female officials and unfavored concubines. Picking oranges do this because Yuanxiu has enough examples, but except for Yuan Xiu himself, who can eat frozen drinks at any time, or occasionally reward the people around her, only Guo Xue can have this exception. Seeing her coming back and picking oranges After asking Yuanxiu a few words, she asked someone to bring it up to her.
Most of the waiters around Yuanxiu have served for many years. The new maids in the palace are 12 years old, so Guo Xue is also the youngest in the whole Daming Palace. Caicheng is obviously partial to her. Moreover, she also knows that Yuanxiu's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wenhua, is surnamed Guo, so she always takes care of her on her face. Guo Xue took ice fruit. But he was a little reluctant to eat and asked Caicheng, "Auntie, can I share some with my sister?"
"With such a thing, are you still thinking about Shuang Niang?" Caicheng couldn't help laughing. She had a good impression of the two sisters. Although Guo Shuang was not as beautiful and cute as Guo Xuesheng, she was extremely capable. When she was in the Zige courtyard, it was shown that after the Pearl Mirror Hall, Princess Yuanxiu asked her to take care of the fire alchemy she got from King Lu at the beginning of the year. It's leisure, but it's not as convenient as being so convenient. Guo Xue can't help thinking about her sister.
"Aunt Orange is good at craftsmanship, and even a spoonful of what she makes is worth fighting for and grabbing. Besides, now she has given me such a bowl, and I beg Aunt Rong to take it with me." Guo Xue blinked and pestered her with a smile.
Yuan Xiu has always been in charge of Xue and Cai Lan. Xue is taught by a famous family. Although he is more powerful than Cai Lan, as long as he does what he is ordered, he will not make trouble randomly. Cai Lan and Caicheng are of the same generation. Yuan Xiu is a princess and Fengchun's sister. How much did she give? Her biological mother, Empress Dowager Wenhua, and adoptive mother Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, both of them came from a noble family. When they married Emperor Xianzong one after another, they brought a large number of dowries. According to the laws and rules of Meng Tang, the private room of the Empress Dowager Wenhua was left to Fengchun and Yuanxiu - this group of Fengchun had already said that he only needed to take two things to think about. , the rest was given to Yuanxiu. In terms of the status of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, Yuanxiu was not as good as that of Empress Dowager Wenhua. Yuanxiu was only ordered Empress Dowager Zhaoxian to take care of her behalf and did not remember her. Empress Dowager Zhaoxian's dowry should not be inherited by Yuanxiu, but Empress Dowager Zhaoxian said before her death that it was still handed over to her. Naturally, the Taiyuan Wang family would not object-- Fengchun loved Yuanxiu very much, and Empress Dowager Zhaoxian always did this for the Wang family.
Therefore, although Yuanxiu was young, she was also rich in the princess. She was lively in her hands and was happily coaxed by Guo Xue's sweet words. She reached out and pinched her little face and smiled, "It's just a bowl of ice fruit. I thought you would have drunk it here. If you had known that you still remembered Shuang Niang, I would leave more for you next time. A bowl.
"Aunt Orange loves me the most." Guo Xue took her hand and acted coquettishly, so Caicheng patted her on the head and said, "Since you are going, you can take advantage of the A family to take a nap. When the A family wakes up, you will have to eat something, and you have to send it there."
Guo Xue also knew that she deliberately gave herself the opportunity to appear in front of Yuanxiu. After all, although the two sisters of the Guo family are the old servants of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, there is only one Guo Fifteen Lang left for the serious descendants of Fenyang County. In case Yuanxiu forgets the two, if she really does this, the court lady will delay her youth. Not good.
She thanked picking oranges and carefully walked to the place where Guo Shuang lived with a bowl.
The fire alchemy was planted in the sunny place in the courtyard behind the main hall of the Pearl Mirror Hall. At this time, it was noon. Guo Shuang was worried about it and ran over to have a look. He saw that although the leaves were exposed to the sun, they were still energetic. Then he went back satisfied. When he arrived in the room where he lived, he saw Guo Xue waiting for himself with a bowl of ice fruit on the case. The ice in it is almost gone.
She made a sound and reached out and touched it. Sure enough, there was a layer of fine ice beads on the outer wall of the porcelain bowl, but it was almost the same as ice water. During Guo Shuang came to the palace, she had almost a lot of examples in the palace. Unfortunately, she said, "Since I'm not here, why don't you eat some first? This ice fruit tastes much worse when it's late.
"It's not a rare thing. I'll wait for my sister to come back to have a meal." Guo Xue had found two pieces of porcelain soup and put them in and said. She looked quite disapproving. She was immediately knocked by Guo Shuang and scolded, "What are you talking about? This is why Aunt Cheng saw that you were young and fell in love with her again. Otherwise, you can take a look at the Jinmu who have served your master for many years in this palace. If it hadn't been rewarded by your Lord, who would have eaten it? Are you tired of living a good life?
Guo Xue was taught a lesson by her, and she also knew that she lost her mouth. She said awkwardly, "When we were on the mountain, we often ate these things, but we didn't expect to come to this palace and become precious. Besides, my sister lives alone, so I'm more casual. Naturally, I won't be in front of others.
"This palace is not a purple pavilion. Although you are young, you can't talk as unscrupulous as before!" Guo Shuang frowned and scolded, "Besides, you don't look at how many people there are in our other courtyards? The mountain is cool, and some ice is hidden in winter, and surplus is used in the natural courtyard in summer. But look at this palace, but the imperial concubines are close to ten people, as well as princesses and kings and so on. When the elders of the previous dynasty are doing their errands, they also have to supply ice at this time. How can they compare with other courtyards?
"What my sister said is - but now it's better to eat first. I have to go back in a short time. I came while your father took a nap." Guo Xue stuffed a porcelain soup into her hand and said coquettishly. Guo Shuang didn't say anything. The two ate ice fruits separately. Guo Shuang asked in a low voice, "What news did you hear?"
Guo Xue came to her ear and said, "Just now, His Royal Highness King Han came to see your master and wanted to go to Princess Qi's birthday party. He pretended to see the son of the Prince of Qi, but I don't believe your appearance, but your lord later agreed."
"Princess Qi is the aunt of His Royal Highness the King of Han and a serious elder. The son of the King of Qi has not been allowed to stay in Chang'an. After the Lord's salute, he may leave. His Royal Highness Han's request is not too much. Why did you refuse him?" Guo Shuang thought for a moment and asked, "You saw His Royal Highness the King of Han. What does he look like?"
Guo Xue curled her lips and said, "It's smaller than me. What can it look like? I'm afraid that his words were also taught by others. Sister, you don't know that after he entered the palace, I happened to go in to deliver tea, and as a result, he started talking about me and saying that the people around you are different. If he is older, this will give me a headache.
Listening to her old-fashioned complaints, Guo Shuang couldn't help laughing: "What you said, King Han is only six years old now. Are you afraid that you will get his praise? Will your Lord give you to him? Not to mention that your lord may not do this for the sake of our surname Guo. Zhao Fangyi, the biological mother of King Han, heard that she was not a good deal with your master in the past. King Han is Zhao Fangyi's eldest son. How can Zhao Fangyi, the people around him take it lightly? You may not be willing to accept it!"
Guo Xue made a grimace and thought for a moment and said, "It's just strange that I asked your lord to investigate the fate of Zhao Fangyi and Zheng Meiren, but in addition to asking the people around Pei on the first day, there will continue to be movement until now!"
"Oh? What are you going to do next? Guo Shuang asked quickly.
"Eunuch Huo just persuaded you to take care of this matter, and you said that when she took a nap, he would call the people around Zheng Meiren to ask questions." Guo Xue asked strangely, "Sister, can't you ask the maid of Chengxiang Hall tomorrow if it goes on like this? Eunuch Huo said that he handed over this matter to your lord in order to prepare for the title of the eldest princess at your master's ceremony, so you'd better solve the matter quickly so that you can convince the public, but I don't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Guo Shuang smiled and said, "What should you do in a hurry? The eldest princess of Jinfeng is not a political matter that needs to be discussed in the previous dynasty. This is a private matter of the royal family. Now there is a sister from your mother. How can she be wronged? Now that we have found this matter, can't we find another excuse if we don't? Besides, you seemed to have a good relationship with the Zhonggong in the past, but this time you brought us back as if you were estranged from the Zhonggong. Although I don't know what you and the Queen said in private in the Penglai Hall, I only saw the Zhonggong send things and ask people to inquire. Your Lord has always been lull about it. Obviously, it is Annoyed by the Zhonggong, now the Zhonggong has been bitten by Zhao Fangyi. You may also want to take this opportunity to find some trouble for the Zhonggong.
Guo Xue was surprised and said, "So the discord between you and Zhonggong is for us?"
"Where do you want to go? Where did we get such a big face?" Guo Shuang touched her hair, looked at the copper leak in the room, and said, "Well, you have also come for a while. Go and wait for her. Don't be late and ask Aunt Cheng to wait for you, and it will offend you. Although we won't stay in the palace for a long time, don't make too many matches. Otherwise, Aunt Cheng will love you again, and she can only take care of it. , you are young, but you don't care about other people's way.
"They also know that I won't stay long. Although I saw Aunt Cheng say something to me secretly, I just thought I didn't hear it. What do I care about a few little maids?" Guo Xue curled the corners of her mouth disdainfully and packed up the bowl. Guo Shuang shook her head and said, "Don't say this at will in the future. In case someone happens to pass by and hear it, do you think we will have it?"
Guo Xue blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "It's really a grievance to enter the palace. I can't even say a few comfortable words in front of my sister."
"There's nothing we can do." Guo Shuang brushed away a few wis of sweat-soaked fetal hair in front of her and said, "We won't stay long. You can put up with it. Even people like your Lord will always have patience."
Guo Xue asked incomprehensiblely, "So, is your Lord also patient with the pursuit now?" Is it just that you really want to entangle this matter with Zhonggong? If something big happens, will we be involved?"
"No." Guo Shuang affirmed, "I think your master is measured. Besides, we are in the palace..." She stopped here and squeezed her lips and said, "Well, you don't talk too much. Go back and do something well. Let's talk in the evening."
dismissed Guo Xue. Guo Shuang thought about the room for a moment, opened the door and looked left and right. In the quiet afternoon, it was time to rest. There were not many things in the Pearl Mirror Hall. There was no shuttle corridor of the palace people. She sneaked out...
