After the third elder brother's third birthday, Zhao Yan ordered Hu Qingxi to put the freshly made dead rabbit in a beautiful gift box and send it to the elder brother's office on the appointed day.
As a result, an hour later, Hu Qingxi brought back a pack of Saqi horses, and Hu Qingxi said: "Big brother loves to eat Saqi horses the most, so take this as a gift." ” Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing, thinking that Hui Concubine was hostile to her because of the eldest brother.
Now, the eldest brother has turned enemies into friends with her.
In fact, the big brother is not as annoying as he imagined, but he is quite cute In the Chengqian Palace, there is a strong faction, and the good nobles are pregnant and stable, and there is no right or wrong at all.
Every five and ten days, I went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, and when I saw Hui Concubine again, Zhao Yan obviously noticed that Hui Concubine's eyes were less hostile when she looked at her, and she didn't even open her mouth to squeeze her.
I didn't expect a rabbit to have such a big effect.
Zhao Yan laughed dumbly.
The sixth palace is safe, and Zhao Yan is also a little lazy, and the whole person can't lift her spirits.
It's about the spring sleepiness, even if you sleep enough at night, you always yawn during the day, and you have to make up for a return to sleep before you are full.
Kangxi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but quip: "How can you look like a lazy cat."
Could it be that I have exhausted my grandmother," he said, his eyes already full of evil smiles.
At this moment, he was just going through the clouds and rain with Kangxi, and his body was sticky and uncomfortable, Zhao Yan glared at him in annoyance, this guy is really getting more and more improper.
Kangxi smiled and said, "I plan to go to the Guanwai to worship Zhaoling in a few days." ” Zhao Yan was stunned: "Why do you suddenly want to sacrifice Zhaoling" Now that the three feudatories are undecided, the way is far away, but I am afraid that it will be inconvenient.
Kangxi sighed: "It's the meaning of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager said that she dreamed of Taizong."
What's more, I haven't sacrificed to Zhaoling for many years, and I can't refuse.
Fortunately, the war in the three feudatories was stable, and nothing went wrong. ” Zhao Yan was speechless for a while, obviously, this trip has been decided, and there is no room for turnaround.
Kangxi kissed Zhao's cheek, "After I leave, my grandmother must take care of herself, and don't let yourself be wronged." ” Zhao Yan's heart warmed, and she hurriedly said "um", "If it is not warm today, I am afraid that it will be colder outside the gate, and the emperor must remember to add clothes." ” "I've saved it."
And so he slept peacefully.
The next day, the weather was sunny and warm, and the peonies in the garden of Cining Palace bloomed gracefully and luxuriously, so the Empress Dowager was also rare to come out to enjoy the flowers, and also called a few Zhao Yan and Yongshou Palace concubines to accompany her.
In the Cining Garden, pines and cypresses are the mainstay, and tall trees such as sycamores, ginkgo biloba, and magnolia are planted interspersed, and along the shaded stone path, you will arrive at the Cuifang Pavilion surrounded by peonies.
Surrounded by a green shade, the peony blooms purple and red, Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Zhao Fen, Ou Bi, luminous white, purple blue kui, brocade hydrangea, the first case red, Yingluo Baozhu, silver and red Qiao, jade pot ice heart, and the young phoenix returning to the nest are all rare famous products.
When Zhao Yan went, Niu Hulu had already accompanied the Empress Dowager in the pavilion to talk and laugh, and when she saw Zhao Yan coming with beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, she quipped: "My sister is late, but I have to be punished for drinking."
Niu Hulu's attitude towards her became more and more friendly, and Zhao Yan thought about it, so she bent her knees to greet Anli, and then said with a smile: "Enjoying flowers and drinking is a rare pleasure.
It's a pity that there are no flowers and no wine here, and even if the concubine wants to punish herself with three cups, it won't be. ” Seeing her slippery mouth like this, Niu Hulu couldn't help giggling, and the smile was very moving.
In this place surrounded by red and purple peonies, it is really more beautiful than flowers, but it is a pity that Kangxi does not know how to appreciate this beauty.
The Empress Dowager also seemed to be in a very good mood, her face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and she also quipped: "You girl, you are getting more and more flamboyant."
Zhao Yan smiled sweetly, then took the food box from the hand of the maid Bai Tan and walked into the pavilion, "The concubine also brought some small snacks, and I hope that the Empress Dowager and Sister Guifei will not dislike it." ” As he spoke, he brought out the four dim sum dishes in the food box one by one: almond bergamot, bean paste apple, glutinous rice cake, and crystal fudge.
They are all soft and easy-to-bite snacks, in order to take care of the mouth and teeth of the Queen Mother.
Niu Hulu glanced at it and said, "I remember the cook in my sister's palace, but the emperor rewarded him, and his skills must be outstanding." ” Zhao Yan said shyly: "My sister made fun of me, but she was just a cook." ” The Empress Dowager took a closer look at the plates of dim sum, looked exquisite, smelled sweet, and tasted two pieces casually, and then bowed slightly, "It's not bad." ” Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that this old lady had tricky tastes.
The Empress Dowager wiped the corners of her lips and said to Niu Hulu beside her: "In a few days, the mourning family plans to go to the Zhaoling Mausoleum with the emperor, and you have to keep an eye on the affairs in the palace." ” Zhao Yan had known about this for a long time, but she still had a little surprise on her face to deal with the Empress Dowager.
Zhaoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong, where the husband and aunt of the Empress Dowager are buried.
It's just that Zhaoling is located in Shengjing, outside the Guan, so the road is quite far away, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while.
Niu Hulu said: "Even if the concubine has a heart, it is Concubine Tong who is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces" Niu Hulu's tone carried a bit of resentment.
The Empress Dowager said: "The Empress Dowager will stay in the palace, if there is any trouble, you remember to go to Shou'an Palace often." ” Niu Hulu hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine remembers." ” The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, "This is at least half a month, and at most a month."
When it was poured, the mourning family and the emperor were not in the palace, so in order to prevent some people from stirring up the wind and rain, you had to show the momentum of the concubine. ” Niu Hulu bowed his head and said yes.
The Empress Dowager told Zhao Yan again: "This trip is to pay tribute to Taizong, so the emperor will not bring his concubines with him."
Jia Concubine needs a good life to help Niu Hulu's family. ” The Empress Dowager really spared no effort to let him form an alliance with the concubine of the Niu Hulu clan first.
It's just that as soon as the emperor leaves, Concubine Tong's assurances will take advantage of the move, and it is also a good deal to get closer to the Niu Hulu clan at this time.
So, Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "The concubine is young and doesn't understand anything, but when it's time to just listen to the concubine's sister." ” The Empress Dowager showed a look of satisfaction, and said: "After the mourning family leaves, you are all far away from the Chengqian Palace, so you can save something and cause a commotion."
What the Empress Dowager refers to is nothing more than the womb of the virtuous and noble Wei.
It's just that as far as she knows, the good nobleman should give birth to the eighth elder brother safely, and there will be no accidents.
What's more, since Wei was pregnant, he has never walked out of the Chengqian Palace for half a step, even if something really happens, it can't rely on her and Niu Hulu.
It's just that on the surface, I can't respond solemnly. t1706231537:
