Chapter 280 Alcohol King Knelt
The emperor's visit this time was just a quick stop. After handing over the coquettish Xiao'an who was lying in his arms to the queen, he took the monkey and left. There was still a large group of officials waiting in the front hall.
The man left, and the monkey was also taken away by the emperor. Xiao'an was obviously very popular with the queen.Concubine Han followed the emperor to hunt, so she specially entrusted Xiao'an to the empress to take care of her. Over the past few months, the empress really raised Xiao'an as her own daughter.Xiao'an is also very close to the queen. Concubine Han just smiled and looked on in silence, not feeling that the queen's actions would affect their mother and daughter's relationship.
Huiyu admired Xia Yingbai very much in her heart at this moment. Princess Xiao'an was really liked by the queen, and being in the harem was equivalent to an extra layer of protection. She was willing to be willing to gain something.
"Monkey, monkey..." Princess Xiao'an was particularly wronged and wanted to keep the monkey.It happened that the emperor got such a little monkey, and he liked it, so he couldn't detect his daughter's thoughts for a while, so he just left.
The empress coaxed Xiao An softly, and asked someone to take out Xiao An's favorite desserts and fruits to divert her attention, and it was considered to have stopped.
The little monkey has black and oily hair, a reddish-red face, and a tail as long as its body.The most surprising thing is that it is only as big as a small house cat, and it hides under the emperor's skirt the whole time, and only occasionally pokes its head out to take a look at everyone.It can be seen that he is a very smart little monkey.
Sister Zhao didn't cry like Princess Xiao'an, but she was rarely silent. Seeing her daughter like this, Huiyu was also curious about what the girl was thinking.Even the eyes of sister Jiu, who had always been numb, had a rare look of light, and Xia Bingyu herself became a little excited, after all, such a situation is very rare.
In just a short time, word spread that there was a very smart and beautiful little monkey beside the emperor. The children who were playing crazy outside all ran back, clamoring to see the monkey. What a mess.Seeing that there was still some time before the banquet, the Empress waved everyone to find their mothers.Anyway, all the concubines here have relatives and mothers-in-law, and they will get together after the banquet later.
Huiyu had nowhere to go, so she stayed in Fengqi Palace as usual, and Concubine Han didn't leave, because Xiao'an refused to leave.Sister Zhao and Xiao'an went to play together again. Princess Xiao'an is four months older than Sister Zhao, and her words are already very good. I heard her mumbling over there, and Sister Zhao said Hehehe responded.
Huiyu: ...
The queen and Huiyu went into the inner room to talk, and asked the nanny and the nanny to look after the child.Concubine Han also followed in. When the Queen was talking to Huiyu, she was serving tea and water to the Queen Mother, pinching her shoulders and beating her back. The words are funny, and the words and deeds are very natural.Huiyu looked at it and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. In fact, Concubine Han had the same status in front of the queen as the side concubines of the palace had in front of the princess.Seeing Concubine Han serving the queen with such flattery, and still being liked by the queen, it can be seen that she has really put in more effort and thought.
After all, according to the general logic, the relationship between the queen and the concubine is ice and fire.But Huiyu saw that the Queen and Concubine Han seemed to be in harmony with each other.
It's not that Huiyu feels wronged for Concubine Han. After all, if Xia Bingyu's plan succeeds in the draft, then she is very likely to be the side concubine of King Ning now, and she will also live a life of flattering and cautiously flattering her wife.When Xia Yingbai chose to enter the palace, she was doomed to be shorter in front of the queen in her life, unless she could sit in that position.But Concubine Han obviously didn't have such thoughts, so maybe it was because of this that the queen could look up to her instead.
"Yucheng Garden was built in the early years. The emperor likes to fish on the terrace in the center of the lake."
The empress's topic gradually turned to the garden that the emperor had bestowed upon King Jing, and Huiyu listened carefully to the empress's history of the garden.Hearing what the queen said, she smiled and said: "The daughter-in-law first saw the terrace in the center of the lake, and saw a clump of green bamboos surrounding it, and she liked it very much."
"The palace has never been to that garden, and only the concubine in this palace has accompanied the emperor to go there. Since the concubine passed away, the emperor has never been to Yucheng Garden again."
The queen would definitely not say these words for no reason, Huiyu felt a little uneasy in her heart, looked up at the queen, and saw the queen looking sideways at the window.Huiyu suddenly discovered that there was actually a clump of bamboo in Fengqi Palace, just outside the open window outside the sleeping hall.This is where the Empress lived, wouldn't it be possible to see this clump of bamboo every day sitting here...
"Do you know who is the concubine who accompanied you to Yucheng Garden?"
"My daughter-in-law doesn't know." Huiyu said, but she knew something in her heart, but she still couldn't believe it was true.
"It's... Prince Jing's biological mother, Fang Jieyu."
really!Huiyu's mind was in a mess, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't understand why the queen told her these things.
"The original name of Yucheng Garden was Yuyuan, but it was changed to Yucheng Garden later. Fang Jieyu had a word Cheng in her nickname, but almost no one knew about it." The queen sighed a long time.
Yucheng Garden was actually named after Fang Jieyu's nickname?After Fang Jieyu's death, the emperor never set foot in Yucheng Garden.Now the Yucheng Garden has been awarded to Ji Qiyu, and the Empress told herself about the connection... Huiyu didn't understand what the empress meant, but she knew that if Ji Qiyu knew about it, she might be hurt. Are you happy?
"The two of you go outside to see the child, I'm a little crooked, and I need to cheer up when the banquet starts." The queen waved her hand and let the two of them come out, Huiyu and Concubine Han bowed and said goodbye.
All the way out of the outside room, I saw the two children still playing together, surrounded by a circle of servants carefully protecting them.They didn't go over, but found a seat and sat down. Concubine Han didn't escape from what the queen said just now, but she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.At this time, the two were sitting next to each other, and Huiyu asked, "You already knew?"
Who knew Concubine Han shook her head, "I'm just like you, I didn't know anything about it before I heard the Empress Empress just now."
What does it mean that the Queen did not avoid Xia Yingbai when she said these things?
"The empress suddenly said this, why do you think?" Huiyu couldn't figure it out, so she asked Xia Yingbai, maybe she could understand better after staying in the palace for a long time.
"I don't know either. No one has ever been able to understand what the Empress does." Xia Yingbai looked at her daughter in the distance and suddenly smiled. It's like a mountain, you can see it." Xia Yingbai's voice was so low that he couldn't hear clearly if he didn't listen carefully.
Hui Yu was stunned. When Xia Yingbai finally decided to hand over her daughter to the Queen to take care of, she might have seen the power of the Queen and decided to surrender, so Princess Xiao'an was undoubtedly the best guarantee.
The only disadvantage for the queen is that she does not have her own biological child. If she had any, all the Kings Ning, King Jing, and King Su in this palace would have to stand aside.
For a long time, the two of them didn't speak, they just looked at the children playing in the distance with smiles on their faces, as if they really came to watch the children.
Xia Yingbai waited until the banquet was about to start before she suddenly said, "Perhaps the empress wants Prince Jing to let go of his knot."
Knot?Huiyu thought of the indifferent father-son relationship between Ji Qiyu and the emperor, and the queen deliberately told her the origin of Yucheng Garden, maybe this might be true.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is divided into lunch and dinner. The lunch is held in the side hall of Fengqi Palace, and only the empress is present.The emperor will only show up at the dinner party, and the lunch party is used in the front hall with the princes' trusted ministers.The luncheon was also considered lively, because the main event was at the dinner party, so the luncheon ended shortly after. Concubine Han invited Huiyu to sit with her, and the queen agreed immediately.
There was still no change in Mingzi Palace, Xiao'an and sister Zhao were both sleepy, Xia Yingbai took Huiyu to the outside room to talk.
After brewing a pot of tea, a six-color box with patterns and patterns was placed on the kang table, with various candied fruit and snacks inside.The two were talking on the couch, and it was rare to relax for a moment, but Huiyu was still a little confused because of the previous incident in Yucheng Garden.It's just that Xia Yingbai's time in the palace is too short after all, many old events may not be known, and no one in the palace mentioned Fang Jieyu's matter, so it is quite difficult to know.
"You don't need to worry, at least the situation is still good for you and Prince Jing."
"I'm just a little worried. After all, we don't know anything about the past. People are more or less afraid of unknown things." Huiyu's words are not false. It causes great psychological pressure to people.The father-son relationship between Ji Qiyu and the emperor seemed very weak, but no one knew what it was for.I'm afraid that Ji Qiyu herself doesn't know why the emperor is so kind and amiable to other sons, but he is indifferent and alienated to him.
This topic stopped like this, after all, there is no gain in talking about it.Instead, Xia Yingbai mentioned the intrigue between Concubine De, Concubine Gui and Concubine Liang in the palace. Concubine Liang is not as favored as Concubine Gui and Concubine De, but King Su is now more and more valued by the emperor.King Yi didn't have any serious errands yet, and Prince Ning was fighting with Prince Jing again. The princes outside fought against each other, and the concubines in the palace were never idle.Only Ji Qiyu didn't have his own mother to protect her, so Huiyu felt uncomfortable again.King Ning has been in trouble for the past two years, but Concubine De has taken care of him in front of the emperor, and she always wants to get a lot of benefits.If King Jing made a mistake, no one would take care of him in front of the emperor.Even if the Empress wanted to help, she couldn't come forward again and again. If there were too many times, the emperor would be annoyed.
The opportunity for the dinner party came in the blink of an eye, and Hui Yu almost fell asleep in Xia Yingbai's bedroom, after redressing.Huiyu took Sister Zhao to Fengqi Palace first and waited. Xia Yingbai, as a favorite concubine, had to wait a little longer before going. After all, the imperial concubine and the others did not arrive right now.
The empress had changed into a bright yellow empress phoenix robe, she was really majestic, only Sister Zhao didn't feel anything, she smiled at the empress as before.
Soon, Concubines Gui, Concubine De, Concubine Liang, and Concubine Xian flocked with their respective daughters-in-law, and Concubine Han also arrived, and the Fengqi Palace became lively again.The noble concubine's words were funny, and the queen laughed with a few words, and everyone turned around the queen.Huiyu was dazzled by the crowd of children in the main hall, and she didn't even know who belonged to whom unless she looked at the people serving her.
Sister Jiu and Sister Zhao are young, and Princess Xiaoan is held in Concubine Han's arms.The son of Concubine Dou of Su Wang's family is about the same age as Sister Zhao, and he also stays by Concubine Dou's side, but Concubine Huang's son can't sit still.The sons of the two side concubines of Prince Jin also ran all over the place. The daughters of the side concubines of Prince Jia’s mansion were too young to be brought into the palace. Only a side concubine with a child can have this face.Dong Wan and the two children from Prince Ning's Mansion also didn't come. Huiyu was a little strange, but the empress didn't ask, and Princess Ning didn't take the initiative to mention it. Presumably, she should have greeted her in the palace a long time ago. As for why she didn't Come, but Huiyu doesn't know.
The hall was full of excitement, the emperor came with his sons, and everyone hurriedly retrieved their children and kowtowed.
"Today is a good day for reunion. Let's all get up, there is no need to be polite." The emperor was obviously in a good mood, and his tone of voice was somewhat cheerful.
Everyone thanked them, and now the concubines and concubines of each family found the princes of each family, and sat down in the seats that had been arranged earlier.After Huiyu sat down with Ji Qiyu, sister Zhao climbed onto her father's lap and did not move. Ji Qiyu hugged her daughter and turned to Huiyu with concern, "Are you okay?"
Huiyu nodded, "I've been staying in Fengqi Palace and Mingzi Palace, and it's very good." Huiyu felt that the matter of Yucheng Garden should be discussed after returning to the palace, and the timing is not right now.
Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu's expression carefully again, and felt that it was not bad, so she breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at her and said, "I've been hanging on to you in front, and I can't run behind to see."
Perhaps in Ji Qiyu's eyes, she and the children are the most important, so Huiyu smiled at him.
At this moment, the children in the hall suddenly shouted, and it turned out that it was the black monkey that had been hidden under the emperor's skirt before, who came out.The monkey was very timid, and the children's shouts scared him back, and he got back under the emperor's skirt in an instant.When the sound disappeared, it came out and ran onto the emperor's lap. Everyone saw that the little monkey acted like a baby. The monkey hands picked up the melon seeds on the plate on the imperial table with agility, and then smashed the melon seeds... the emperor!
Even monkeys can suck up!
Huiyu was dumbfounded, this monkey is too smart.Although it is known that monkeys have extremely high intelligence, it is still very surprising that this monkey who was brought up as a tribute can be trained to be like this.After the monkey peeled melon seeds to make the emperor happy, he bowed to the emperor with both hands, pointed at the things on the table, and wanted to eat!
This monkey is going to be fine!
When the emperor refused to give it, the monkey pretended to be pitiful and screamed.The emperor Longyan was very happy, so he rewarded him with the food that the monkey wanted to eat on the table.Then the little monkey even hugged the plate and ran under the table to steal it. For a while, there was endless laughter in the hall, and everyone was amused by the monkey. The atmosphere was very harmonious and joyful.
Seeing the little monkey run under the table, all the children ran over to watch. Chu Ke's son, the eldest son of the Jin Wang family, was bold enough to catch it.The child is not doing well, but the king of Jin was frightened, and he knelt down to plead guilty while dragging his concubine.
The emperor smiled very generously: "Let the children play and see which child can catch this little thing."
Isn't this a joke?Such a small child, who can catch such a smart monkey and cry!
"I will reward the monkey to whoever catches it." The emperor added another sentence.
Not to mention children, even adults like this monkey.Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu's eyes and knew that Huiyu liked her too.But Sister Zhao is so old, she couldn't catch it at all, so she turned her head to Huiyu and said, "I'll send someone to go to the south to find one to relieve your boredom."
Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu and smiled, "Could it be that I want you to pick off the stars in the sky and give them to me?"
"Then I have to think about how to build a ladder to climb to heaven." Ji Qiyu said.
Huiyu: ...
During the conversation between the two, the children from different families flocked up. It was obvious that the adults had said something to the children, and these children were extraordinarily fierce to catch the monkey.Sister Zhao also slipped off Ji Qiyu's body, and Ji Qiyu hurriedly carried the child back, he was afraid that Sister Zhao would be hurt by the children who didn't know how serious it was.Sister Zhao was held in her arms by her own father and couldn't move, watching other children catch monkeys.This monkey is extremely agile, it can be regarded as flying over the eaves and walls. Under the siege and interception of a crowd of crazy furry children, it simply climbed directly onto the beam of the house, unable to survive.
This cleverness really makes people like it more and more, and I really want to catch it home!
Except for a few older children who knew how to get them down, the rest of the younger ones went to their mothers, even Xia Bingyu's sister Jiu went to catch monkeys.Catching monkeys is secondary. Seeing how Ning Wang and his wife behaved towards their daughter, their eyes lit up with excitement.
When her father was in a daze, sister Zhao took the opportunity to run down again, Huiyu saw it, but thinking that sister Jiu could fight, let her go, now there are not so many children, so I just The rest of the older ones are not in much danger.In order to catch the monkey, the children of each family used all their strength to feed the baby. The little devil king of the Chun Wang family actually asked someone to hit him with a pole!
King Jin almost knelt down to his son, you are not catching a monkey, you are tormenting your father, he is going to apologize again!
Concubine Jin looked at King Jin wishing he could pull his son over and beat him up, she turned her head and looked aside without blinking her eyelids.King Jin became even more depressed when he saw Princess Jin's appearance. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Is this how you discipline children? Sooner or later you will cause a catastrophe, and you will cry sooner or later."
"It's okay for me to cry, but it's fine for the prince to cry. Anyway, the prince has many sons, one more is not too many, and the other is not too many. If the son is not taught, it is the father's fault, and there is nothing wrong with being a mother." Princess Jin sneered. Ignore the Alcohol King.
Alcohol King: ...
King Jin really felt that he was suffering to death, and he didn't care about being angry with the princess, so he went to arrest his son and talk about it later, otherwise he wouldn't do anything else today, and he would just be here to apologize, this little thing that turned the world upside down.
Seeing his father coming to arrest him, Brother Cheng ran to one side, shouting, "Get the pole quickly, get the pole quickly, and stab it down..."
"Little bastard, stop for me, you think this is your backyard." King Chun chased his son, cursing while chasing him.
Seeing the embarrassing appearance of the two father and son chasing each other in the hall, everyone laughed again, and the little monkey hiding on the roof beam actually made a crying face at Brother Cheng.
Brother Cheng stopped suddenly, pointed at the monkey and said to his father: "Father, father, this monkey is still laughing at me, catch it for me."
"Stinky boy, I'll arrest you first before I talk about your father!" King Chun picked up his son and walked back, but he was so angry that he laughed at you?deserve it!Your father and I have been tired by you, and everyone in the hall will die laughing.
Brother Cheng was captured by his father, and he didn't forget to shake his fist at the monkey. The little monkey shook his rear buttocks at Brother Cheng, and then yelled at Brother Cheng angrily.King Chun felt that he couldn't lose face anymore, covered his son's mouth, dragged him back, and was about to cry to death, this cheating bastard.
I just hope that the emperor will not blame me.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was mainly on the monkey at this time. Brother Cheng, a troublemaker, was dragged back by her father. The rest of the children were not so bold, and most of them stared at the beam with their heads up. Look at the little monkey.
When Ji Qiyu saw her daughter, Sister Zhao had already stood beside Sister Jiu who had returned.Although Sister Jiu is half a year older than Sister Zhao, when they stand together, Sister Zhao is only about three fingers shorter than Sister Jiu.Ji Qiyu wanted to take her daughter back, but Huiyu held him back and said in a low voice, "It's rare that my daughter is so interested, so let her play. Anyway, the little monkey is on the beam, Brother Cheng The son was dragged back by the King of Alcohol, and this group of little kids might have nothing to do with it."
Ji Qiyu endured it and did not pass, but her brows were still tightly frowned, obviously she didn't think it was a proper thing for a group of children to catch a monkey.It's just the emperor's will, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he can't express it, but he is still depressed.
Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's black face, and knew that he loved his daughter and didn't want her to do inappropriate things. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "So many children are together, but we can actually see how the children are doing. It's rare to have such an opportunity to get along with each other, so don't frown."
Ji Qiyu twitched the corners of her lips, agreeing.
Huiyu laughed inwardly, Ji Qiyu's temperament is really awkward, but luckily Sister Zhao is not like her, otherwise all the big ones and small ones are like this, she doesn't want to worry to death.
Seeing that Sister Zhao was there, Princess Xiao'an also ran over. It was obvious that Princess Xiao'an also wanted the monkey very much, but unfortunately she couldn't catch it, so she could only be anxious.Some children simply started crying, and the adults of each family were busy coaxing the children. The hall was always chaotic and never quieted down.I don't know what the emperor was thinking, so he just smiled and said nothing at such a messy scene.
Huiyu really couldn't complain in her heart. At this moment, Huiyu saw her daughter bypassing sister Jiu and walking forward.She pulled Laji Qiyu to let him look at his daughter, and she saw that sister Zhao climbed up the steps and walked towards the emperor's place.
What is this kid going to do?
This time Huiyu couldn't sit still anymore, so she wanted to bring the child back, but don't really cause a disaster.
As soon as she stood up, Ji Qiyu also stood up, but at this moment sister Zhao actually crawled along the emperor's leg and onto his knee.Huiyu held his forehead, thinking he was used to crawling along his father's legs at home, this movement was so smooth.At this time, everyone noticed Sister Zhao's actions. For a while, people from each family took their crying children home and coaxed them softly, and wanted to see what Sister Zhao was going to do. Everyone's attention was caught. Attracted to the past, Huiyu and Ji Qiyu were very passive instead, and couldn't take advantage of the chaos to bring their daughter back.
Ji Qiyu patted Huiyu's hand, telling her not to worry, just wait and see what happens.
The emperor probably didn't expect Sister Zhao to be so bold. She dragged the dragon robe along his legs and climbed onto his knees, looking at Sister Zhao with her eyes.The queen next to her wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor, so she could only swallow the words back, her eyes filled with worry.
Sister Zhao sat on the emperor's lap, then pointed to the fruit plate on the table, then turned to look at the emperor again.
The emperor looked at Sister Zhao's big watery eyes, thought for a while and asked, "Do you want this?"
Sister Zhao laughed.
The emperor took the fruit plate and put it in front of Sister Zhao. He thought that Sister Zhao would eat the fruit from the fruit plate, but who knew that Sister Zhao slipped down from the emperor's lap swiftly.
The emperor didn't understand what sister Zhao meant, so he asked, "You don't want it anymore?"
At this time, the hall gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Sister Zhao and the emperor.
Sister Zhao tilted her head to look at the emperor and smiled, then pointed to the fruit plate, and then smiled at the emperor again.
However, the emperor couldn't figure out what Sister Zhao meant, thinking that he didn't want the fruit, so he put the fruit plate back.
Now Sister Zhao was not happy, and pulled the emperor's dragon robe to climb up again. The emperor understood this time, and took the fruit plate back, and then Sister Zhao laughed again.But Sister Zhao still stared at the emperor and smiled. The emperor still didn't understand what Sister Zhao was going to do next. After thinking about it, he looked at Sister Zhao and said, "Sister Zhao, if you don't talk, grandpa doesn't know." What are you going to do, what do you want with this fruit plate?"
Sister Zhao couldn't speak yet, Huiyu frowned when she saw it, and Ji Qiyu who was beside her spoke at this moment, "Your Majesty, my daughter has never spoken, my daughter is naughty, please forgive me, my minister Bring her back."
The emperor just looked at Ji Qiyu, then glanced at the people present, and said with a smile: "Which of your brothers was not naughty when they were young? I didn't blame you, the kid from the third family just made a lot of trouble. Didn't stop it, did you? Sit down."
This is to disagree with Ji Qiyu bringing the child back, speaking of this, even Ji Qiyu can't do anything.
The Prince Chun and his son who were named, the happy son who was the son smiled, and the frowning father who had to accompany him to apologize with a smile, it was very funny to watch.
But Huiyu couldn't laugh because others were waiting to see her own jokes.
"Our sister Zhao can't speak yet, what can I do, the emperor doesn't know what you want." The emperor looked down at sister Zhao and said with a smile.
Sister Zhao saw that the emperor hadn't moved yet, and then saw that the little monkey on the roof beam was still wagging its tail triumphantly but couldn't get down. She became anxious, pointed at the plate of fruit and smiled at the emperor again.
This makes the emperor very depressed, you just smile at me, I don't understand what you mean, he is also very sad.
Seeing that the emperor didn't understand what she meant, Sister Zhao became even more anxious, "Bring... fruit."
It was Xu's first time speaking, and his speech was not very sharp. Sister Zhao paused, because there was a little anxiety in her immaturity.
Just now Prince Jing said that his daughter could not speak yet, but now Sister Zhao spoke, and the emperor deliberately raised his head to look at Prince Jing, and saw Prince Jing staring at Sister Zhao as if he was stupid. It's like seeing something shocking.Could it be that Sister Zhao really hasn't spoken yet?Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at the queen. The queen has been with the emperor for decades, so she naturally knew what he meant, so she nodded slightly, "It's true that Sister Zhao hasn't spoken yet. It turns out that this is to hide the first sentence to tell the emperor's grandfather. Speaking. The father didn’t hear the daughter’s first words, but the royal grandfather took the lead. No wonder the fourth child is acting like a fool.” The queen smiled softly after finishing speaking, “Our sister Zhao is sure enough. It's a crowd pleaser."
Hearing what the empress said, the emperor glanced at Prince Jing triumphantly. When he was in a good mood, he picked up the fruit plate and handed it to Sister Zhao, "Whatever little girl wants to eat, take it yourself."
Sister Zhao didn't even look at the fruit, she pulled the emperor's sleeve and walked down.
The emperor was also a little confused this time, and the feeling was to ask me to serve her a plate!
But perhaps it was because the queen said that sister Zhao's first words were addressed to herself, and she remembered that the child changed her behavior to honor her father last time, and this time she was also very interested, I don't know this little girl The girl wanted to do something again, so she simply carried the tray and followed Sister Zhao.
The emperor's actions made everyone feel a little unbelievable, Huiyu frowned and remained silent, Ji Qiyu's face darkened even more.
Stepping off the throne, Sister Zhao dragged the emperor to the beam of the roof where the little monkey was sitting, looked up at the little monkey, and said again, "Grandfather, fruit, monkey."
The grandfather's cry was really crisp and clear. With experience in speaking the first sentence, the second time it will be much smoother.It's just that children are still young after all, and they can't express their thoughts in long sentences, so they can only jump out like this.
The emperor thought about it, and asked sister Zhao: "You want me to help you lure the monkey down with fruit?"
Sister Zhao laughed and nodded vigorously.
The emperor's face turned dark, and he was running errands and contributing to his feelings, but the emperor's grandfather was happy to hear it.His son didn't even hear the little girl call him daddy, so let's help the little girl as a helper.
The emperor picked out a fruit and threw it at the little monkey. Then the little monkey stretched out its paws, picked it up, and put it into its mouth to eat.
Still not coming down.
Sister Zhao stood in the hall, looking up at the little monkey, frowning, with a look of bitterness and hatred.Obviously he didn't understand, she gave it food, why didn't it come down?
This monkey has been specially domesticated, so naturally it will not follow people just because of a fruit.After eating Sister Zhao's fruit, she made faces and smiled at Sister Zhao.
Sister Zhao became annoyed as soon as she pulled her face. This angry little look was exactly the same as that of Prince Jing who was black-faced.Everyone looked at Sister Zhao, and then at Prince Jing, and immediately thought it was funny.
Huiyu also felt that there was a bit of coke, so she pulled La Ji Qiyu to sit him down, and let her daughter toss about it. Anyway, the emperor is really going to be angry, and the big deal is to wear small shoes for Ji Qiyu. .
Seeing that sister Zhao was upset, the emperor smiled instead, "This trick doesn't work, you have to find another way, that little monkey won't fall for it."
After all, Sister Zhao is still young, so it is already very good to be able to do this.She is wise early, and it has a lot to do with Ji Qiyu telling her stories from a very young age, telling her about the origins of various objects and furnishings in the house.It's like speaking today. In fact, according to the level of her speaking, this child has already been able to speak, but she just refuses to speak.It must be that when she was facing her parents in the palace, she mostly listened to what they said, and she didn't need to speak.When facing the servants, she didn't need to talk, they could finish what she wanted to do, and there was no need to speak.Huiyu also thought about it for a while before she figured it out. The family members are too familiar with Sister Zhao, so they can understand what she wants and what she doesn't want.But the emperor is not familiar with Sister Zhao, so he can't understand what Sister Zhao means. Sister Zhao needs the emperor's help if she wants monkeys, but the emperor doesn't understand her thoughts, so he has to speak up. This is forced to speak out.
Now that the emperor is teasing Sister Zhao to think of other ways, Huiyu is also a little worried, after all, the child raised by Ji Qiyu is not stupid, who knows what idea she will come up with.
Just when Huiyu was worried, she saw Sister Zhao sitting down suddenly, pulling the emperor's skirt to cover her body, covering her whole body under the emperor's skirt, and then the little girl exposed a strip of the skirt. Sew a pair of eyes to look out of the gap, and smile at the monkey on the roof beam!
Before everyone understood what was going on, the monkey on the roof beam came down with a 'swoosh', and then ran under the emperor's skirt to grab a place with sister Zhao.At this moment, Sister Zhao rolled out from under the emperor's skirt with the little monkey in her arms.The monkey wanted to resist, but Sister Zhao held it tightly but did not let go. The little monkey was held by Sister Zhao's hands and feet, and it was only the size of a house cat, so it couldn't break free and was restrained obediently.
Seeing this, everyone understands that the monkey likes to hide under the emperor's skirt as a safe haven, so Sister Zhao's sneaking in is tantamount to occupying his territory. Sister Zhao caught it.
Sister Zhao can come up with such a way, this is what makes everyone dumbfounded.Just like giving her father the emperor's finger when he caught Zhou, this child has too many ghosts.First, he coaxed the emperor to follow her with a fruit plate, because the monkey was close to the emperor, so the emperor came with sister Zhao, and the monkey would not feel strange.Let the emperor feed the monkey fruit to further maintain a friendly relationship with the monkey, and finally occupy the monkey's territory to irritate him, this step by step is really...
Then everyone saw Sister Zhao walked towards his father with the monkey in her arms, and then stuffed the monkey into his father's arms, and smiled silly at his father again begging for praise.
emperor:……
Crowd: ...
Maybe Ji Qiyu told Huiyu to find a monkey for her just now, and her daughter overheard it, so if she got a monkey, she gave it to him?
Ji Qiyu was in a complicated mood, except for Huiyu, only her daughter would think of giving him anything good, even her mother would have to back off.But, girl, you should call me dad anyway.
Prince Jing also had his own sadness. The first sentence his daughter spoke was not to him, and the first person she called was not him, so he was still very jealous.
The little monkey wanted to run, but Ji Qiyu quickly stopped her, the little girl was not happy, and said to the monkey: "If you eat mine, it's mine, don't run away."
The monkey looked at the emperor begging for help, and the emperor felt even more sad at this time. It happened twice, he robbed his own things to honor his father.This little girl doesn't have his grandfather in her eyes too much, she's depressed.
"Grandfather, mine." Sister Zhao said coquettishly to the emperor, pointing at the little monkey.
The emperor had said what he said before, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he would naturally retort, and said, "It's yours." He came over and patted the monkey's head, "Follow this little girl from now on."
The little monkey watched the emperor leave without taking him with him, so he knew he had been abandoned, turned his head and smiled flatteringly at Sister Zhao.
This face-changing kung fu is really...unbelievable.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, Sister Zhao became famous again.
That little monkey became a beautiful scenery around the princess of Prince Jing's mansion, he took it with him wherever he went, and became the treasure of the princess.
Ever since Prince Jing's mansion acquired this little black monkey, life has been extraordinarily lively.The little black monkey loves to play tricks on people by following the princess's side, and loves to play tricks on people. He always steals other people's handkerchiefs and hangs them on the treetops when the little girl is not paying attention. The servant grabbed his hat and threw it on the eaves. If any little girl treated her badly, he would mess up the newly cleaned room when she was on duty. In short, don't do too many things like this. Received a lot of complaints like this.
So Huiyu gave the little black monkey a lesson, and it finally calmed down a bit, but although the little black monkey loves to make trouble, the whole house is very fond of this monkey because it is the favorite of the princess. To please, people who are not played by the little black monkey have a bit of brilliance on their faces.
The kang was lit in the mansion in early November, and Huiyu was especially afraid of the cold because of her pregnancy. The kang in Prince Jing's mansion was fired earlier than other homes.
"Winter clothes have already been distributed, and this month's monthly schedule has also been distributed. These postings have also been sorted out by maidservants and concubines. Please have a look at them." Concubine Yang put the brocade box in front of her respectfully.
Huiyu opened it to take a look, picked out a few, and said with a smile, "Please don't worry about it, I will keep these few posts, and reply to the rest according to the old rules."
"Yes." Concubine Yang responded quickly, took the box back, and said: "The end of the year is approaching, and accountants from all over the country will come to Beijing in a few days. Maids and concubines have ordered people to prepare their residences for easy account reconciliation."
Ji Qiyu, the property of the palace, has been handed over to Huiyu to take charge of it, and accounts are reconciled twice a year, once in the middle of the year and once at the end of the year.Concubine Yang has been doing well since she managed Zhongfei under Huiyu, and she is very strict with her duties. Huiyu is also very satisfied with her.So this time, the matter of the shopkeepers from all over the country entering the capital is handed over to Concubine Yang, who is in charge. Hearing what she said, Huiyu nodded, "These shopkeepers and long houses are scattered all over the place to manage the property for the palace. They must be kind and respectful to people. All the servants in the family have to give instructions. The accountant prince who reconciled with them in Beijing will send someone there directly, so we don't have to worry about it, you just need to arrange people to take care of them where they stay."
"Yes, the concubine understands." Concubine Yang quickly responded, "It will be five or six days away, the house has already been cleaned, and the servants have been arranged properly. It’s time to light the kang and test the temperature.”
The two asked and answered, and after finishing the affairs in the mansion, Huiyu smiled and said, "With your help, I am much lighter." Then she stood up while supporting the table and walked slowly in the room. walk slowly.
Concubine Yang got up quickly to follow Huiyu, Huiyu waved her hand, "Sit down, I can't stand my stomach after sitting for a long time, and it's slow to get up and walk."
Concubine Yang smiled and sat back. In fact, she didn't dare to support the princess. After all, the princess is more than six months pregnant, and she really can't bear it if something doesn't fit.Seeing the concubine walking slowly in the room, she made up her mind and said: "Aunt Yue handed over the post again, and did not reply according to the concubine's order, but it has been delivered four or five times in the past two months. Do you see?"
Since what happened last time, Yue Shuiqing hadn't had any contact with Prince Jing's mansion for several months, and Huiyu didn't care about her, just rested her baby.But since October, Yue Shuiqing's posts have become more frequent, and Huiyu deliberately put her down, so he ordered all posts about her to be suppressed.Concubine Yang was a little uneasy at first, after all, Yue Shuiqing was the prince's cousin, would it be wrong for the princess to do so?But she also knew in her heart that she couldn't talk too much. After these two months, she clearly didn't see any dissatisfaction with Wang Hao's actions, so she figured it out in her heart.Either Miss Yue did something inappropriate to make the concubine angry, or Miss Yue had something to ask but the concubine couldn't respond so she avoided it, and thinking about it later, it's fortunate that she was not reckless, otherwise she might cause trouble.It's just that Miss Yue is posting more and more frequently now, she still needs to tell the princess, as for what the princess should do, she just listens.
Concubine Yang saw that the princess frowned, and she didn't dare to vent her anger in her heart. After a while, she heard the princess say: "I'm too heavy to go out now, how about this, sister Yang will go and see the cousin for me." Concubine Yang was startled, and stood up suddenly, as if she couldn't believe her ears for a while.
It's not that the side concubines of the palaces are not allowed to go out to socialize, but it depends on what the princess wants, only those who can be very respected in the palace can have this honor.Side concubine Dou of Su Wang's mansion, Dong side concubine of Ning Wang's mansion, and Han Xu of Chun Wang's mansion are all decent people who can hold a banquet and invite people to get together. Son, standing upright in front of the prince also has some face.But although she took care of part of the affairs of the palace for the princess, in front of the prince, I'm afraid he couldn't tell who she was from Concubine Han.In the absence of any heirs, it is a great face to let her go out for the princess.
Concubine Yang didn't feel that her original choice was right until this moment, her heart was pounding, but she still had to be reserved when she looked at Huiyu, "Would it be inappropriate to go as a concubine?" Mammy stood up for the princess, because Mammy You was not only respected by the prince, but also used by the concubine, so she was more respectable in this palace than their side concubines.
"It's all right, it's just that my tired sister has had a hard time." Huiyu said with a smile, "I will let Nanny You prepare a gift."
Concubine Yang felt that if the concubine praised her so much, if she refused again, she would not be able to stand on the stage, so she agreed immediately.But there was some hesitation in her heart, she didn't know what to do when she went to see Yue Shuiqing, she also heard about her miscarriage last time, what should she do this time?
"My concubine respectfully obeys the orders of the concubine." She saluted respectfully, paused slightly, and then said: "The concubine should give me some pointers on how to do this trip."
(End of this chapter)
The emperor's visit this time was just a quick stop. After handing over the coquettish Xiao'an who was lying in his arms to the queen, he took the monkey and left. There was still a large group of officials waiting in the front hall.
The man left, and the monkey was also taken away by the emperor. Xiao'an was obviously very popular with the queen.Concubine Han followed the emperor to hunt, so she specially entrusted Xiao'an to the empress to take care of her. Over the past few months, the empress really raised Xiao'an as her own daughter.Xiao'an is also very close to the queen. Concubine Han just smiled and looked on in silence, not feeling that the queen's actions would affect their mother and daughter's relationship.
Huiyu admired Xia Yingbai very much in her heart at this moment. Princess Xiao'an was really liked by the queen, and being in the harem was equivalent to an extra layer of protection. She was willing to be willing to gain something.
"Monkey, monkey..." Princess Xiao'an was particularly wronged and wanted to keep the monkey.It happened that the emperor got such a little monkey, and he liked it, so he couldn't detect his daughter's thoughts for a while, so he just left.
The empress coaxed Xiao An softly, and asked someone to take out Xiao An's favorite desserts and fruits to divert her attention, and it was considered to have stopped.
The little monkey has black and oily hair, a reddish-red face, and a tail as long as its body.The most surprising thing is that it is only as big as a small house cat, and it hides under the emperor's skirt the whole time, and only occasionally pokes its head out to take a look at everyone.It can be seen that he is a very smart little monkey.
Sister Zhao didn't cry like Princess Xiao'an, but she was rarely silent. Seeing her daughter like this, Huiyu was also curious about what the girl was thinking.Even the eyes of sister Jiu, who had always been numb, had a rare look of light, and Xia Bingyu herself became a little excited, after all, such a situation is very rare.
In just a short time, word spread that there was a very smart and beautiful little monkey beside the emperor. The children who were playing crazy outside all ran back, clamoring to see the monkey. What a mess.Seeing that there was still some time before the banquet, the Empress waved everyone to find their mothers.Anyway, all the concubines here have relatives and mothers-in-law, and they will get together after the banquet later.
Huiyu had nowhere to go, so she stayed in Fengqi Palace as usual, and Concubine Han didn't leave, because Xiao'an refused to leave.Sister Zhao and Xiao'an went to play together again. Princess Xiao'an is four months older than Sister Zhao, and her words are already very good. I heard her mumbling over there, and Sister Zhao said Hehehe responded.
Huiyu: ...
The queen and Huiyu went into the inner room to talk, and asked the nanny and the nanny to look after the child.Concubine Han also followed in. When the Queen was talking to Huiyu, she was serving tea and water to the Queen Mother, pinching her shoulders and beating her back. The words are funny, and the words and deeds are very natural.Huiyu looked at it and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. In fact, Concubine Han had the same status in front of the queen as the side concubines of the palace had in front of the princess.Seeing Concubine Han serving the queen with such flattery, and still being liked by the queen, it can be seen that she has really put in more effort and thought.
After all, according to the general logic, the relationship between the queen and the concubine is ice and fire.But Huiyu saw that the Queen and Concubine Han seemed to be in harmony with each other.
It's not that Huiyu feels wronged for Concubine Han. After all, if Xia Bingyu's plan succeeds in the draft, then she is very likely to be the side concubine of King Ning now, and she will also live a life of flattering and cautiously flattering her wife.When Xia Yingbai chose to enter the palace, she was doomed to be shorter in front of the queen in her life, unless she could sit in that position.But Concubine Han obviously didn't have such thoughts, so maybe it was because of this that the queen could look up to her instead.
"Yucheng Garden was built in the early years. The emperor likes to fish on the terrace in the center of the lake."
The empress's topic gradually turned to the garden that the emperor had bestowed upon King Jing, and Huiyu listened carefully to the empress's history of the garden.Hearing what the queen said, she smiled and said: "The daughter-in-law first saw the terrace in the center of the lake, and saw a clump of green bamboos surrounding it, and she liked it very much."
"The palace has never been to that garden, and only the concubine in this palace has accompanied the emperor to go there. Since the concubine passed away, the emperor has never been to Yucheng Garden again."
The queen would definitely not say these words for no reason, Huiyu felt a little uneasy in her heart, looked up at the queen, and saw the queen looking sideways at the window.Huiyu suddenly discovered that there was actually a clump of bamboo in Fengqi Palace, just outside the open window outside the sleeping hall.This is where the Empress lived, wouldn't it be possible to see this clump of bamboo every day sitting here...
"Do you know who is the concubine who accompanied you to Yucheng Garden?"
"My daughter-in-law doesn't know." Huiyu said, but she knew something in her heart, but she still couldn't believe it was true.
"It's... Prince Jing's biological mother, Fang Jieyu."
really!Huiyu's mind was in a mess, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't understand why the queen told her these things.
"The original name of Yucheng Garden was Yuyuan, but it was changed to Yucheng Garden later. Fang Jieyu had a word Cheng in her nickname, but almost no one knew about it." The queen sighed a long time.
Yucheng Garden was actually named after Fang Jieyu's nickname?After Fang Jieyu's death, the emperor never set foot in Yucheng Garden.Now the Yucheng Garden has been awarded to Ji Qiyu, and the Empress told herself about the connection... Huiyu didn't understand what the empress meant, but she knew that if Ji Qiyu knew about it, she might be hurt. Are you happy?
"The two of you go outside to see the child, I'm a little crooked, and I need to cheer up when the banquet starts." The queen waved her hand and let the two of them come out, Huiyu and Concubine Han bowed and said goodbye.
All the way out of the outside room, I saw the two children still playing together, surrounded by a circle of servants carefully protecting them.They didn't go over, but found a seat and sat down. Concubine Han didn't escape from what the queen said just now, but she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.At this time, the two were sitting next to each other, and Huiyu asked, "You already knew?"
Who knew Concubine Han shook her head, "I'm just like you, I didn't know anything about it before I heard the Empress Empress just now."
What does it mean that the Queen did not avoid Xia Yingbai when she said these things?
"The empress suddenly said this, why do you think?" Huiyu couldn't figure it out, so she asked Xia Yingbai, maybe she could understand better after staying in the palace for a long time.
"I don't know either. No one has ever been able to understand what the Empress does." Xia Yingbai looked at her daughter in the distance and suddenly smiled. It's like a mountain, you can see it." Xia Yingbai's voice was so low that he couldn't hear clearly if he didn't listen carefully.
Hui Yu was stunned. When Xia Yingbai finally decided to hand over her daughter to the Queen to take care of, she might have seen the power of the Queen and decided to surrender, so Princess Xiao'an was undoubtedly the best guarantee.
The only disadvantage for the queen is that she does not have her own biological child. If she had any, all the Kings Ning, King Jing, and King Su in this palace would have to stand aside.
For a long time, the two of them didn't speak, they just looked at the children playing in the distance with smiles on their faces, as if they really came to watch the children.
Xia Yingbai waited until the banquet was about to start before she suddenly said, "Perhaps the empress wants Prince Jing to let go of his knot."
Knot?Huiyu thought of the indifferent father-son relationship between Ji Qiyu and the emperor, and the queen deliberately told her the origin of Yucheng Garden, maybe this might be true.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is divided into lunch and dinner. The lunch is held in the side hall of Fengqi Palace, and only the empress is present.The emperor will only show up at the dinner party, and the lunch party is used in the front hall with the princes' trusted ministers.The luncheon was also considered lively, because the main event was at the dinner party, so the luncheon ended shortly after. Concubine Han invited Huiyu to sit with her, and the queen agreed immediately.
There was still no change in Mingzi Palace, Xiao'an and sister Zhao were both sleepy, Xia Yingbai took Huiyu to the outside room to talk.
After brewing a pot of tea, a six-color box with patterns and patterns was placed on the kang table, with various candied fruit and snacks inside.The two were talking on the couch, and it was rare to relax for a moment, but Huiyu was still a little confused because of the previous incident in Yucheng Garden.It's just that Xia Yingbai's time in the palace is too short after all, many old events may not be known, and no one in the palace mentioned Fang Jieyu's matter, so it is quite difficult to know.
"You don't need to worry, at least the situation is still good for you and Prince Jing."
"I'm just a little worried. After all, we don't know anything about the past. People are more or less afraid of unknown things." Huiyu's words are not false. It causes great psychological pressure to people.The father-son relationship between Ji Qiyu and the emperor seemed very weak, but no one knew what it was for.I'm afraid that Ji Qiyu herself doesn't know why the emperor is so kind and amiable to other sons, but he is indifferent and alienated to him.
This topic stopped like this, after all, there is no gain in talking about it.Instead, Xia Yingbai mentioned the intrigue between Concubine De, Concubine Gui and Concubine Liang in the palace. Concubine Liang is not as favored as Concubine Gui and Concubine De, but King Su is now more and more valued by the emperor.King Yi didn't have any serious errands yet, and Prince Ning was fighting with Prince Jing again. The princes outside fought against each other, and the concubines in the palace were never idle.Only Ji Qiyu didn't have his own mother to protect her, so Huiyu felt uncomfortable again.King Ning has been in trouble for the past two years, but Concubine De has taken care of him in front of the emperor, and she always wants to get a lot of benefits.If King Jing made a mistake, no one would take care of him in front of the emperor.Even if the Empress wanted to help, she couldn't come forward again and again. If there were too many times, the emperor would be annoyed.
The opportunity for the dinner party came in the blink of an eye, and Hui Yu almost fell asleep in Xia Yingbai's bedroom, after redressing.Huiyu took Sister Zhao to Fengqi Palace first and waited. Xia Yingbai, as a favorite concubine, had to wait a little longer before going. After all, the imperial concubine and the others did not arrive right now.
The empress had changed into a bright yellow empress phoenix robe, she was really majestic, only Sister Zhao didn't feel anything, she smiled at the empress as before.
Soon, Concubines Gui, Concubine De, Concubine Liang, and Concubine Xian flocked with their respective daughters-in-law, and Concubine Han also arrived, and the Fengqi Palace became lively again.The noble concubine's words were funny, and the queen laughed with a few words, and everyone turned around the queen.Huiyu was dazzled by the crowd of children in the main hall, and she didn't even know who belonged to whom unless she looked at the people serving her.
Sister Jiu and Sister Zhao are young, and Princess Xiaoan is held in Concubine Han's arms.The son of Concubine Dou of Su Wang's family is about the same age as Sister Zhao, and he also stays by Concubine Dou's side, but Concubine Huang's son can't sit still.The sons of the two side concubines of Prince Jin also ran all over the place. The daughters of the side concubines of Prince Jia’s mansion were too young to be brought into the palace. Only a side concubine with a child can have this face.Dong Wan and the two children from Prince Ning's Mansion also didn't come. Huiyu was a little strange, but the empress didn't ask, and Princess Ning didn't take the initiative to mention it. Presumably, she should have greeted her in the palace a long time ago. As for why she didn't Come, but Huiyu doesn't know.
The hall was full of excitement, the emperor came with his sons, and everyone hurriedly retrieved their children and kowtowed.
"Today is a good day for reunion. Let's all get up, there is no need to be polite." The emperor was obviously in a good mood, and his tone of voice was somewhat cheerful.
Everyone thanked them, and now the concubines and concubines of each family found the princes of each family, and sat down in the seats that had been arranged earlier.After Huiyu sat down with Ji Qiyu, sister Zhao climbed onto her father's lap and did not move. Ji Qiyu hugged her daughter and turned to Huiyu with concern, "Are you okay?"
Huiyu nodded, "I've been staying in Fengqi Palace and Mingzi Palace, and it's very good." Huiyu felt that the matter of Yucheng Garden should be discussed after returning to the palace, and the timing is not right now.
Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu's expression carefully again, and felt that it was not bad, so she breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at her and said, "I've been hanging on to you in front, and I can't run behind to see."
Perhaps in Ji Qiyu's eyes, she and the children are the most important, so Huiyu smiled at him.
At this moment, the children in the hall suddenly shouted, and it turned out that it was the black monkey that had been hidden under the emperor's skirt before, who came out.The monkey was very timid, and the children's shouts scared him back, and he got back under the emperor's skirt in an instant.When the sound disappeared, it came out and ran onto the emperor's lap. Everyone saw that the little monkey acted like a baby. The monkey hands picked up the melon seeds on the plate on the imperial table with agility, and then smashed the melon seeds... the emperor!
Even monkeys can suck up!
Huiyu was dumbfounded, this monkey is too smart.Although it is known that monkeys have extremely high intelligence, it is still very surprising that this monkey who was brought up as a tribute can be trained to be like this.After the monkey peeled melon seeds to make the emperor happy, he bowed to the emperor with both hands, pointed at the things on the table, and wanted to eat!
This monkey is going to be fine!
When the emperor refused to give it, the monkey pretended to be pitiful and screamed.The emperor Longyan was very happy, so he rewarded him with the food that the monkey wanted to eat on the table.Then the little monkey even hugged the plate and ran under the table to steal it. For a while, there was endless laughter in the hall, and everyone was amused by the monkey. The atmosphere was very harmonious and joyful.
Seeing the little monkey run under the table, all the children ran over to watch. Chu Ke's son, the eldest son of the Jin Wang family, was bold enough to catch it.The child is not doing well, but the king of Jin was frightened, and he knelt down to plead guilty while dragging his concubine.
The emperor smiled very generously: "Let the children play and see which child can catch this little thing."
Isn't this a joke?Such a small child, who can catch such a smart monkey and cry!
"I will reward the monkey to whoever catches it." The emperor added another sentence.
Not to mention children, even adults like this monkey.Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu's eyes and knew that Huiyu liked her too.But Sister Zhao is so old, she couldn't catch it at all, so she turned her head to Huiyu and said, "I'll send someone to go to the south to find one to relieve your boredom."
Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu and smiled, "Could it be that I want you to pick off the stars in the sky and give them to me?"
"Then I have to think about how to build a ladder to climb to heaven." Ji Qiyu said.
Huiyu: ...
During the conversation between the two, the children from different families flocked up. It was obvious that the adults had said something to the children, and these children were extraordinarily fierce to catch the monkey.Sister Zhao also slipped off Ji Qiyu's body, and Ji Qiyu hurriedly carried the child back, he was afraid that Sister Zhao would be hurt by the children who didn't know how serious it was.Sister Zhao was held in her arms by her own father and couldn't move, watching other children catch monkeys.This monkey is extremely agile, it can be regarded as flying over the eaves and walls. Under the siege and interception of a crowd of crazy furry children, it simply climbed directly onto the beam of the house, unable to survive.
This cleverness really makes people like it more and more, and I really want to catch it home!
Except for a few older children who knew how to get them down, the rest of the younger ones went to their mothers, even Xia Bingyu's sister Jiu went to catch monkeys.Catching monkeys is secondary. Seeing how Ning Wang and his wife behaved towards their daughter, their eyes lit up with excitement.
When her father was in a daze, sister Zhao took the opportunity to run down again, Huiyu saw it, but thinking that sister Jiu could fight, let her go, now there are not so many children, so I just The rest of the older ones are not in much danger.In order to catch the monkey, the children of each family used all their strength to feed the baby. The little devil king of the Chun Wang family actually asked someone to hit him with a pole!
King Jin almost knelt down to his son, you are not catching a monkey, you are tormenting your father, he is going to apologize again!
Concubine Jin looked at King Jin wishing he could pull his son over and beat him up, she turned her head and looked aside without blinking her eyelids.King Jin became even more depressed when he saw Princess Jin's appearance. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Is this how you discipline children? Sooner or later you will cause a catastrophe, and you will cry sooner or later."
"It's okay for me to cry, but it's fine for the prince to cry. Anyway, the prince has many sons, one more is not too many, and the other is not too many. If the son is not taught, it is the father's fault, and there is nothing wrong with being a mother." Princess Jin sneered. Ignore the Alcohol King.
Alcohol King: ...
King Jin really felt that he was suffering to death, and he didn't care about being angry with the princess, so he went to arrest his son and talk about it later, otherwise he wouldn't do anything else today, and he would just be here to apologize, this little thing that turned the world upside down.
Seeing his father coming to arrest him, Brother Cheng ran to one side, shouting, "Get the pole quickly, get the pole quickly, and stab it down..."
"Little bastard, stop for me, you think this is your backyard." King Chun chased his son, cursing while chasing him.
Seeing the embarrassing appearance of the two father and son chasing each other in the hall, everyone laughed again, and the little monkey hiding on the roof beam actually made a crying face at Brother Cheng.
Brother Cheng stopped suddenly, pointed at the monkey and said to his father: "Father, father, this monkey is still laughing at me, catch it for me."
"Stinky boy, I'll arrest you first before I talk about your father!" King Chun picked up his son and walked back, but he was so angry that he laughed at you?deserve it!Your father and I have been tired by you, and everyone in the hall will die laughing.
Brother Cheng was captured by his father, and he didn't forget to shake his fist at the monkey. The little monkey shook his rear buttocks at Brother Cheng, and then yelled at Brother Cheng angrily.King Chun felt that he couldn't lose face anymore, covered his son's mouth, dragged him back, and was about to cry to death, this cheating bastard.
I just hope that the emperor will not blame me.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was mainly on the monkey at this time. Brother Cheng, a troublemaker, was dragged back by her father. The rest of the children were not so bold, and most of them stared at the beam with their heads up. Look at the little monkey.
When Ji Qiyu saw her daughter, Sister Zhao had already stood beside Sister Jiu who had returned.Although Sister Jiu is half a year older than Sister Zhao, when they stand together, Sister Zhao is only about three fingers shorter than Sister Jiu.Ji Qiyu wanted to take her daughter back, but Huiyu held him back and said in a low voice, "It's rare that my daughter is so interested, so let her play. Anyway, the little monkey is on the beam, Brother Cheng The son was dragged back by the King of Alcohol, and this group of little kids might have nothing to do with it."
Ji Qiyu endured it and did not pass, but her brows were still tightly frowned, obviously she didn't think it was a proper thing for a group of children to catch a monkey.It's just the emperor's will, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he can't express it, but he is still depressed.
Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's black face, and knew that he loved his daughter and didn't want her to do inappropriate things. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "So many children are together, but we can actually see how the children are doing. It's rare to have such an opportunity to get along with each other, so don't frown."
Ji Qiyu twitched the corners of her lips, agreeing.
Huiyu laughed inwardly, Ji Qiyu's temperament is really awkward, but luckily Sister Zhao is not like her, otherwise all the big ones and small ones are like this, she doesn't want to worry to death.
Seeing that Sister Zhao was there, Princess Xiao'an also ran over. It was obvious that Princess Xiao'an also wanted the monkey very much, but unfortunately she couldn't catch it, so she could only be anxious.Some children simply started crying, and the adults of each family were busy coaxing the children. The hall was always chaotic and never quieted down.I don't know what the emperor was thinking, so he just smiled and said nothing at such a messy scene.
Huiyu really couldn't complain in her heart. At this moment, Huiyu saw her daughter bypassing sister Jiu and walking forward.She pulled Laji Qiyu to let him look at his daughter, and she saw that sister Zhao climbed up the steps and walked towards the emperor's place.
What is this kid going to do?
This time Huiyu couldn't sit still anymore, so she wanted to bring the child back, but don't really cause a disaster.
As soon as she stood up, Ji Qiyu also stood up, but at this moment sister Zhao actually crawled along the emperor's leg and onto his knee.Huiyu held his forehead, thinking he was used to crawling along his father's legs at home, this movement was so smooth.At this time, everyone noticed Sister Zhao's actions. For a while, people from each family took their crying children home and coaxed them softly, and wanted to see what Sister Zhao was going to do. Everyone's attention was caught. Attracted to the past, Huiyu and Ji Qiyu were very passive instead, and couldn't take advantage of the chaos to bring their daughter back.
Ji Qiyu patted Huiyu's hand, telling her not to worry, just wait and see what happens.
The emperor probably didn't expect Sister Zhao to be so bold. She dragged the dragon robe along his legs and climbed onto his knees, looking at Sister Zhao with her eyes.The queen next to her wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor, so she could only swallow the words back, her eyes filled with worry.
Sister Zhao sat on the emperor's lap, then pointed to the fruit plate on the table, then turned to look at the emperor again.
The emperor looked at Sister Zhao's big watery eyes, thought for a while and asked, "Do you want this?"
Sister Zhao laughed.
The emperor took the fruit plate and put it in front of Sister Zhao. He thought that Sister Zhao would eat the fruit from the fruit plate, but who knew that Sister Zhao slipped down from the emperor's lap swiftly.
The emperor didn't understand what sister Zhao meant, so he asked, "You don't want it anymore?"
At this time, the hall gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Sister Zhao and the emperor.
Sister Zhao tilted her head to look at the emperor and smiled, then pointed to the fruit plate, and then smiled at the emperor again.
However, the emperor couldn't figure out what Sister Zhao meant, thinking that he didn't want the fruit, so he put the fruit plate back.
Now Sister Zhao was not happy, and pulled the emperor's dragon robe to climb up again. The emperor understood this time, and took the fruit plate back, and then Sister Zhao laughed again.But Sister Zhao still stared at the emperor and smiled. The emperor still didn't understand what Sister Zhao was going to do next. After thinking about it, he looked at Sister Zhao and said, "Sister Zhao, if you don't talk, grandpa doesn't know." What are you going to do, what do you want with this fruit plate?"
Sister Zhao couldn't speak yet, Huiyu frowned when she saw it, and Ji Qiyu who was beside her spoke at this moment, "Your Majesty, my daughter has never spoken, my daughter is naughty, please forgive me, my minister Bring her back."
The emperor just looked at Ji Qiyu, then glanced at the people present, and said with a smile: "Which of your brothers was not naughty when they were young? I didn't blame you, the kid from the third family just made a lot of trouble. Didn't stop it, did you? Sit down."
This is to disagree with Ji Qiyu bringing the child back, speaking of this, even Ji Qiyu can't do anything.
The Prince Chun and his son who were named, the happy son who was the son smiled, and the frowning father who had to accompany him to apologize with a smile, it was very funny to watch.
But Huiyu couldn't laugh because others were waiting to see her own jokes.
"Our sister Zhao can't speak yet, what can I do, the emperor doesn't know what you want." The emperor looked down at sister Zhao and said with a smile.
Sister Zhao saw that the emperor hadn't moved yet, and then saw that the little monkey on the roof beam was still wagging its tail triumphantly but couldn't get down. She became anxious, pointed at the plate of fruit and smiled at the emperor again.
This makes the emperor very depressed, you just smile at me, I don't understand what you mean, he is also very sad.
Seeing that the emperor didn't understand what she meant, Sister Zhao became even more anxious, "Bring... fruit."
It was Xu's first time speaking, and his speech was not very sharp. Sister Zhao paused, because there was a little anxiety in her immaturity.
Just now Prince Jing said that his daughter could not speak yet, but now Sister Zhao spoke, and the emperor deliberately raised his head to look at Prince Jing, and saw Prince Jing staring at Sister Zhao as if he was stupid. It's like seeing something shocking.Could it be that Sister Zhao really hasn't spoken yet?Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at the queen. The queen has been with the emperor for decades, so she naturally knew what he meant, so she nodded slightly, "It's true that Sister Zhao hasn't spoken yet. It turns out that this is to hide the first sentence to tell the emperor's grandfather. Speaking. The father didn’t hear the daughter’s first words, but the royal grandfather took the lead. No wonder the fourth child is acting like a fool.” The queen smiled softly after finishing speaking, “Our sister Zhao is sure enough. It's a crowd pleaser."
Hearing what the empress said, the emperor glanced at Prince Jing triumphantly. When he was in a good mood, he picked up the fruit plate and handed it to Sister Zhao, "Whatever little girl wants to eat, take it yourself."
Sister Zhao didn't even look at the fruit, she pulled the emperor's sleeve and walked down.
The emperor was also a little confused this time, and the feeling was to ask me to serve her a plate!
But perhaps it was because the queen said that sister Zhao's first words were addressed to herself, and she remembered that the child changed her behavior to honor her father last time, and this time she was also very interested, I don't know this little girl The girl wanted to do something again, so she simply carried the tray and followed Sister Zhao.
The emperor's actions made everyone feel a little unbelievable, Huiyu frowned and remained silent, Ji Qiyu's face darkened even more.
Stepping off the throne, Sister Zhao dragged the emperor to the beam of the roof where the little monkey was sitting, looked up at the little monkey, and said again, "Grandfather, fruit, monkey."
The grandfather's cry was really crisp and clear. With experience in speaking the first sentence, the second time it will be much smoother.It's just that children are still young after all, and they can't express their thoughts in long sentences, so they can only jump out like this.
The emperor thought about it, and asked sister Zhao: "You want me to help you lure the monkey down with fruit?"
Sister Zhao laughed and nodded vigorously.
The emperor's face turned dark, and he was running errands and contributing to his feelings, but the emperor's grandfather was happy to hear it.His son didn't even hear the little girl call him daddy, so let's help the little girl as a helper.
The emperor picked out a fruit and threw it at the little monkey. Then the little monkey stretched out its paws, picked it up, and put it into its mouth to eat.
Still not coming down.
Sister Zhao stood in the hall, looking up at the little monkey, frowning, with a look of bitterness and hatred.Obviously he didn't understand, she gave it food, why didn't it come down?
This monkey has been specially domesticated, so naturally it will not follow people just because of a fruit.After eating Sister Zhao's fruit, she made faces and smiled at Sister Zhao.
Sister Zhao became annoyed as soon as she pulled her face. This angry little look was exactly the same as that of Prince Jing who was black-faced.Everyone looked at Sister Zhao, and then at Prince Jing, and immediately thought it was funny.
Huiyu also felt that there was a bit of coke, so she pulled La Ji Qiyu to sit him down, and let her daughter toss about it. Anyway, the emperor is really going to be angry, and the big deal is to wear small shoes for Ji Qiyu. .
Seeing that sister Zhao was upset, the emperor smiled instead, "This trick doesn't work, you have to find another way, that little monkey won't fall for it."
After all, Sister Zhao is still young, so it is already very good to be able to do this.She is wise early, and it has a lot to do with Ji Qiyu telling her stories from a very young age, telling her about the origins of various objects and furnishings in the house.It's like speaking today. In fact, according to the level of her speaking, this child has already been able to speak, but she just refuses to speak.It must be that when she was facing her parents in the palace, she mostly listened to what they said, and she didn't need to speak.When facing the servants, she didn't need to talk, they could finish what she wanted to do, and there was no need to speak.Huiyu also thought about it for a while before she figured it out. The family members are too familiar with Sister Zhao, so they can understand what she wants and what she doesn't want.But the emperor is not familiar with Sister Zhao, so he can't understand what Sister Zhao means. Sister Zhao needs the emperor's help if she wants monkeys, but the emperor doesn't understand her thoughts, so he has to speak up. This is forced to speak out.
Now that the emperor is teasing Sister Zhao to think of other ways, Huiyu is also a little worried, after all, the child raised by Ji Qiyu is not stupid, who knows what idea she will come up with.
Just when Huiyu was worried, she saw Sister Zhao sitting down suddenly, pulling the emperor's skirt to cover her body, covering her whole body under the emperor's skirt, and then the little girl exposed a strip of the skirt. Sew a pair of eyes to look out of the gap, and smile at the monkey on the roof beam!
Before everyone understood what was going on, the monkey on the roof beam came down with a 'swoosh', and then ran under the emperor's skirt to grab a place with sister Zhao.At this moment, Sister Zhao rolled out from under the emperor's skirt with the little monkey in her arms.The monkey wanted to resist, but Sister Zhao held it tightly but did not let go. The little monkey was held by Sister Zhao's hands and feet, and it was only the size of a house cat, so it couldn't break free and was restrained obediently.
Seeing this, everyone understands that the monkey likes to hide under the emperor's skirt as a safe haven, so Sister Zhao's sneaking in is tantamount to occupying his territory. Sister Zhao caught it.
Sister Zhao can come up with such a way, this is what makes everyone dumbfounded.Just like giving her father the emperor's finger when he caught Zhou, this child has too many ghosts.First, he coaxed the emperor to follow her with a fruit plate, because the monkey was close to the emperor, so the emperor came with sister Zhao, and the monkey would not feel strange.Let the emperor feed the monkey fruit to further maintain a friendly relationship with the monkey, and finally occupy the monkey's territory to irritate him, this step by step is really...
Then everyone saw Sister Zhao walked towards his father with the monkey in her arms, and then stuffed the monkey into his father's arms, and smiled silly at his father again begging for praise.
emperor:……
Crowd: ...
Maybe Ji Qiyu told Huiyu to find a monkey for her just now, and her daughter overheard it, so if she got a monkey, she gave it to him?
Ji Qiyu was in a complicated mood, except for Huiyu, only her daughter would think of giving him anything good, even her mother would have to back off.But, girl, you should call me dad anyway.
Prince Jing also had his own sadness. The first sentence his daughter spoke was not to him, and the first person she called was not him, so he was still very jealous.
The little monkey wanted to run, but Ji Qiyu quickly stopped her, the little girl was not happy, and said to the monkey: "If you eat mine, it's mine, don't run away."
The monkey looked at the emperor begging for help, and the emperor felt even more sad at this time. It happened twice, he robbed his own things to honor his father.This little girl doesn't have his grandfather in her eyes too much, she's depressed.
"Grandfather, mine." Sister Zhao said coquettishly to the emperor, pointing at the little monkey.
The emperor had said what he said before, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he would naturally retort, and said, "It's yours." He came over and patted the monkey's head, "Follow this little girl from now on."
The little monkey watched the emperor leave without taking him with him, so he knew he had been abandoned, turned his head and smiled flatteringly at Sister Zhao.
This face-changing kung fu is really...unbelievable.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, Sister Zhao became famous again.
That little monkey became a beautiful scenery around the princess of Prince Jing's mansion, he took it with him wherever he went, and became the treasure of the princess.
Ever since Prince Jing's mansion acquired this little black monkey, life has been extraordinarily lively.The little black monkey loves to play tricks on people by following the princess's side, and loves to play tricks on people. He always steals other people's handkerchiefs and hangs them on the treetops when the little girl is not paying attention. The servant grabbed his hat and threw it on the eaves. If any little girl treated her badly, he would mess up the newly cleaned room when she was on duty. In short, don't do too many things like this. Received a lot of complaints like this.
So Huiyu gave the little black monkey a lesson, and it finally calmed down a bit, but although the little black monkey loves to make trouble, the whole house is very fond of this monkey because it is the favorite of the princess. To please, people who are not played by the little black monkey have a bit of brilliance on their faces.
The kang was lit in the mansion in early November, and Huiyu was especially afraid of the cold because of her pregnancy. The kang in Prince Jing's mansion was fired earlier than other homes.
"Winter clothes have already been distributed, and this month's monthly schedule has also been distributed. These postings have also been sorted out by maidservants and concubines. Please have a look at them." Concubine Yang put the brocade box in front of her respectfully.
Huiyu opened it to take a look, picked out a few, and said with a smile, "Please don't worry about it, I will keep these few posts, and reply to the rest according to the old rules."
"Yes." Concubine Yang responded quickly, took the box back, and said: "The end of the year is approaching, and accountants from all over the country will come to Beijing in a few days. Maids and concubines have ordered people to prepare their residences for easy account reconciliation."
Ji Qiyu, the property of the palace, has been handed over to Huiyu to take charge of it, and accounts are reconciled twice a year, once in the middle of the year and once at the end of the year.Concubine Yang has been doing well since she managed Zhongfei under Huiyu, and she is very strict with her duties. Huiyu is also very satisfied with her.So this time, the matter of the shopkeepers from all over the country entering the capital is handed over to Concubine Yang, who is in charge. Hearing what she said, Huiyu nodded, "These shopkeepers and long houses are scattered all over the place to manage the property for the palace. They must be kind and respectful to people. All the servants in the family have to give instructions. The accountant prince who reconciled with them in Beijing will send someone there directly, so we don't have to worry about it, you just need to arrange people to take care of them where they stay."
"Yes, the concubine understands." Concubine Yang quickly responded, "It will be five or six days away, the house has already been cleaned, and the servants have been arranged properly. It’s time to light the kang and test the temperature.”
The two asked and answered, and after finishing the affairs in the mansion, Huiyu smiled and said, "With your help, I am much lighter." Then she stood up while supporting the table and walked slowly in the room. walk slowly.
Concubine Yang got up quickly to follow Huiyu, Huiyu waved her hand, "Sit down, I can't stand my stomach after sitting for a long time, and it's slow to get up and walk."
Concubine Yang smiled and sat back. In fact, she didn't dare to support the princess. After all, the princess is more than six months pregnant, and she really can't bear it if something doesn't fit.Seeing the concubine walking slowly in the room, she made up her mind and said: "Aunt Yue handed over the post again, and did not reply according to the concubine's order, but it has been delivered four or five times in the past two months. Do you see?"
Since what happened last time, Yue Shuiqing hadn't had any contact with Prince Jing's mansion for several months, and Huiyu didn't care about her, just rested her baby.But since October, Yue Shuiqing's posts have become more frequent, and Huiyu deliberately put her down, so he ordered all posts about her to be suppressed.Concubine Yang was a little uneasy at first, after all, Yue Shuiqing was the prince's cousin, would it be wrong for the princess to do so?But she also knew in her heart that she couldn't talk too much. After these two months, she clearly didn't see any dissatisfaction with Wang Hao's actions, so she figured it out in her heart.Either Miss Yue did something inappropriate to make the concubine angry, or Miss Yue had something to ask but the concubine couldn't respond so she avoided it, and thinking about it later, it's fortunate that she was not reckless, otherwise she might cause trouble.It's just that Miss Yue is posting more and more frequently now, she still needs to tell the princess, as for what the princess should do, she just listens.
Concubine Yang saw that the princess frowned, and she didn't dare to vent her anger in her heart. After a while, she heard the princess say: "I'm too heavy to go out now, how about this, sister Yang will go and see the cousin for me." Concubine Yang was startled, and stood up suddenly, as if she couldn't believe her ears for a while.
It's not that the side concubines of the palaces are not allowed to go out to socialize, but it depends on what the princess wants, only those who can be very respected in the palace can have this honor.Side concubine Dou of Su Wang's mansion, Dong side concubine of Ning Wang's mansion, and Han Xu of Chun Wang's mansion are all decent people who can hold a banquet and invite people to get together. Son, standing upright in front of the prince also has some face.But although she took care of part of the affairs of the palace for the princess, in front of the prince, I'm afraid he couldn't tell who she was from Concubine Han.In the absence of any heirs, it is a great face to let her go out for the princess.
Concubine Yang didn't feel that her original choice was right until this moment, her heart was pounding, but she still had to be reserved when she looked at Huiyu, "Would it be inappropriate to go as a concubine?" Mammy stood up for the princess, because Mammy You was not only respected by the prince, but also used by the concubine, so she was more respectable in this palace than their side concubines.
"It's all right, it's just that my tired sister has had a hard time." Huiyu said with a smile, "I will let Nanny You prepare a gift."
Concubine Yang felt that if the concubine praised her so much, if she refused again, she would not be able to stand on the stage, so she agreed immediately.But there was some hesitation in her heart, she didn't know what to do when she went to see Yue Shuiqing, she also heard about her miscarriage last time, what should she do this time?
"My concubine respectfully obeys the orders of the concubine." She saluted respectfully, paused slightly, and then said: "The concubine should give me some pointers on how to do this trip."
