Chapter 120 Mid-Autumn Festival The unhappy Queen Mother Wuya
Shu Jin saw the little rice cake again on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the second year of Yongzheng's reign. The concubines were summoned to Wanfang Anhe to spend the festival with the Empress Dowager.
Emperor Yongzheng's harem was not yet full, and there were only a dozen or so concubines in total, including one empress, three concubines, two concubines, a nobleman, and five more. Oh, by the way, there was one who was all alone in the Forbidden City.
Qi nobles celebrating the Reunion Festival.
It stands to reason that Princess Huaike should also enter the palace for the banquet, but unfortunately, she just gave birth a few days ago and is now in confinement.
However, Wan Fang'an and the palace were lively enough, and the Empress Dowager also laughed and said, "I heard that Huai Ke gave birth to a big fat boy. After confinement, he had to carry it into the palace and show it to the Ai family. Anyway, this is
He is the emperor's first grandson."
The Queen responded with a gentle "Yes", "This child is quite lucky." - Qi Guiren was in such a situation, but she felt confident that she could win a man in one fell swoop and gain a firm foothold in the Gu family. The Queen then thought to herself,
But so what, he is just a grandson, an outsider.
On the other hand, the Queen Mother Wu Yashi looked a little unhappy and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "The Ai family heard that Huai Ke's biological mother Qi Guiren was ill in the palace, and there was not even an imperial physician!"
The Queen quickly explained: "The Queen has misunderstood. There was an imperial physician in the palace, but unfortunately, the imperial physician accidentally fell and injured himself a few days ago, but pills have been sent to him, so Mr. Qi is not seriously injured."
hinder."
Queen Mother Wu Ya snorted, "She is the biological mother of Huai Ke and Hong Shi after all. Queen, please don't be too mean to Mr. Qi."
Hearing these words, the Queen blushed slightly. She didn't ask the imperial doctor to cause the injury! Although the Queen had a mean heart towards noble Qi, she came to the garden and was too busy to deal with others. She had no time to think about Li Xiuyin yesterday.
yellow flower?
How could the Queen Mother not see that Queen Mother Wuya was venting all her unhappiness on the Queen? Then she coughed and reminded: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Empress Dowager Wu Ya's heart suddenly became even more panicked. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion! Her youngest son was imprisoned in the palace by the emperor to think about his mistakes, and mother and son would never be reunited! The emperor was clearly poking her heart out!
Shu Jin had also heard a little bit about the Fourteenth Master. In this life, Yongzheng had been lenient in dealing with political opponents. The eighth and ninth sons were imprisoned, but the tenth had just banned Baylor, but the fourteenth... Originally Yongzheng
I didn't intend to pay attention to him, but unexpectedly he jumped out to avenge Lao Ba Lao Jiu. As a result, Yong Zheng was angered and he was imprisoned. But it was only a house arrest, not a prison.
Shu Jin complained: This is already very good, but it is a pity that the Queen Mother is not satisfied.
The Queen Mother asked the Queen again: "When will the Emperor come?"
The Queen bowed and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has to deal with the government affairs first. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here until later." As for the specific time of arrival, how can the Queen know?
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Then let's order some drama first."
Queen Mother Wu Ya said in a cold tone: "The emperor is really a busy man!"
The Empress Dowager frowned and simply ignored her. She ordered two plays first, asked the stage to sing first, and asked with a smile: "What plays does the Queen like to listen to?"
The Queen was startled, how could she pass the Queen Mother? But the Queen Mother had to answer the question, and the Queen said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why not play "Mid-Autumn Promise" - This is also a must-do during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
repertoire.
The Empress Dowager nodded.
Queen Mother Wuya's old face suddenly became even more ugly.
Shu Jin shook the fan in his hand. It was such a special occasion that the Queen Mother insisted on showing off her face. Don't blame the Queen Mother for not showing her face.
But the Empress Dowager smiled slightly: "The Ai family knows that the Empress Dowager likes Mulian, and has already ordered it for you. The second part will be, just sit back and listen."
Queen Mother Wuya's old face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Shu Jin was stunned for a moment, Mulian? Who is it?
The person sitting behind her was none other than Li Guiren. While the first play of "Feng Ming Ji" was being performed with gongs and drums, Li Guiren quickly told her.
Shu Jin suddenly realized that the Empress Dowager was clearly "pointing" at the Empress Dowager.
Mao Bi covered her face with a fan and whispered: "Watch it, the show is very lively today."
Indeed, the drama off stage is much more lively than on stage.
Shu Jin pinched a spiced almond and stuffed it into her mouth and ate it, watching the babbling on the stage. She couldn't understand a word and just felt it was very noisy.
This piece of "Ming Feng Ji" was sung so wonderfully that probably only the Empress Dowager Wu Ya and Yu Fei Geng listened absentmindedly.
Shu Jin originally thought this was a love drama, but he didn't expect it. Listen, why did Yan Song's son Yan Shifan appear as the villain? Oh, the co-author is a story about a loyal minister fighting a traitor...
But why is it called "The Legend of the Phoenix"? Shu Jin only half-understood it, and he didn't understand it until the end.
The second play that followed, thanks to Li Guiren's narration in advance, Shu Jin barely understood the main line of the story, but it was quite boring anyway.
Bored, Shu Jin couldn't help but yawn secretly. Fortunately, the concubines on the left and right listened in rapt attention, but no one noticed her rudeness.
It wasn't until the show had been going on for a long time that His Majesty Yongzheng arrived belatedly.
Whether on the stage or off the stage, a group of people cheered and greeted each other. Yongzheng rarely greeted his own mother and step-grandmother.
Empress Dowager Wu Ya still didn't give the emperor a good look. She said angrily: "The emperor is a busy man, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't come."
Yinzhen frowned and said with a straight face: "I am indeed very busy. I can only come here to have dinner with the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's mother today, and then I have to go back to approve the discounts."
If you go straight like this, the Empress Dowager can't help but choke.
The Empress Dowager said with a kind face: "The emperor's diligence is a blessing to all the people in the world. Don't tire yourself too much."
Yinzhen's brows relaxed slightly, "Thank you, Grandma Huang, for your concern. I understand."
During this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the emperor came and went in a hurry, and Wan Fang Anhe only stayed with Wan Fang Anhe for more than an hour before leaving, leaving the Empress Dowager without a chance to have another attack.
Queen Mother Wu Ya was so angry that her face turned green, and she only regretted that she had given birth to a debt collector.
The master was unhappy and naturally wanted to vent it out.
Shu Jin hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea, trying to reduce his presence so as not to be affected.
But fortunately, she has never had any sense of existence in the eyes of the Empress Dowager. She is far less eye-catching than Concubine Dun's belly, Concubine Xi's surname and Concubine Jin.
"The Ai family looks at Concubine Dun's pointed belly. It's probably her brother." Empress Dowager Wu Ya suddenly said this.
Concubine Dun quickly said softly: "I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. I only hope that the child in my belly will be healthy."
Shu Jin nodded: Little rice cake has finally grown.
Empress Dowager Wu Ya suddenly smiled: "I hope it's an elder brother. In this case, the emperor will make you a noble concubine if he is happy."
Imperial Concubine! How many people are worried about this, but Empress Dowager Wuya reveals it. The smile on the Queen's face gradually disappears while sitting beside her, while Concubine Jin, who is serving beside the Empress Dowager, still clutches the red gold wine flask in her hand.
