A heavy turquoise necklace hangs on Rong Shangqing's chest, and the pendant is buried in the bottomless depths. Her fair skin exudes a charming luster under the swaying bonfire. The lazy lady displays her mature charm, but only occasionally. When he suddenly thought of something, a cold disappointment overflowed from his brows, but it made people realize that such a graceful and luxurious woman was actually not happy.
Before the Empress came in, Rong Shangqing had been the protagonist of the banquet. Ladies and ladies were showering her with praises. Some were envious of her care, others marveled at her matching of clothes and accessories, and even more people tried their best to attract her attention. You need to chat with her for a word or two to create the feeling that you are close and have a personal relationship with Duke Zhongyong's youngest daughter.
But Rong Shangqing had been absent-minded. She didn't expect that her father would be interested in the "number one".
Of course, Rong Shangqing was also interested in this "number one", but not much... He just wanted to see if the young man was interested in it, and because he cherished his talent, he was ready to give him a chance to climb up.
Of course, he also needs to have this opportunity and know how to seize it. Rong Shangqing will not go to the pole to do the so-called "thirsty for talents".
But now my father seems to be "thirsty for talents" and insists on asking Rong Shangqing to find people... In his eyes, the Rong family not only needs military generals, but also civil servants.
Military generals want to lead troops, which depends on talent and inheritance, and needs to be focused on training. The most important thing is that when it comes to commanding in battle, merit is merit, and deeds are demerits. But these civil servants are nothing more than beeping all day long, and just living in a dawdle. It is easier to find people who are eloquent and have ink in their stomachs to train them to speak for the Rong family in court.
His father thought so, and Rong Shangqing had no choice but to reason with him... Why didn't he think about it? Isn't Su Changqing a ready-made example? Truly outstanding civil servants are not so easy to cultivate.
Rong Shangqing received his father's errand and had to go to Caiyun Xinghe Tower a few more times. The owner of the building, Lan Xinghe, was knowledgeable and flattering, which made Rong Shangqing understand why men like to come here. Farming a place... The maids and slaves at home know how to serve people, but they are far from good at talking and making fun, and they are not as versatile as Kan Xinghe. They can gather all kinds of rumors and gossip from the market, and even the secrets of the previous palace. .
In short, Rong Shangqing in Caiyun Xinghe Tower also had fun, but the number one on the list was never seen again.
There was nothing wrong with him at first. He was a young man with some talent and good looks at most. He disappeared and disappeared. Rong Shangqing did not remember him for a few days. What was annoying was that his father was now interested in him. He also wanted Rong Shangqing to take him to the recent poetry meeting.
The name of the poetry meeting is "Traveling to the South of the Yangtze River". With some official background and the attention of Prime Minister Fang Du Wei, Miss Fang San will participate. The talented people attending the meeting all want to show off their talents and win attention, even if There is no way to deliver poems and essays to the prime minister, but even if they are favored by the ladies of various families, it is still a romantic and beautiful thing.
There are many poetry societies in Longyin City, and the Jiangnan Poetry Society is undoubtedly the leader among them. It has been popular for decades. Many of the great talents who are famous all over the world have emerged in the poetry societies. If the Rong family wants to turn around, they can only wield swords and guns. In order to reduce his rude image, sending people to participate in poetry gatherings is indeed a more effective method.
"Third sister, what are you worried about? Is it because of your brother-in-law? Come to the palace tomorrow and I will give you some strong medicine for him to take. I just want you to smile." Rong Baobao called Rong Shangqing and said.
Rong Baobao said this, of course, to create the feeling that she is also an informed and knowledgeable woman... Anyway, I heard that married women speak so freely. Rong Baobao is smart and will naturally understand such details. Notice.
"Ms. Lao is concerned...that's not what happened." Rong Shangqing blushed. His face was already hot from some residual wine, and at this time, there was even a trace of blush. Rong Shangqing was This noble girl made her laugh and cry.
At her age, she was indeed the ancestor of dogs and cats, but Su Changqing took some strong medicines, also looking for those kiln sisters. It was useless for him to take medicines for his body in front of Rong Shangqing, but his bones were premature. It's already weak and sluggish, and nothing works.
"I see that you are not only in low spirits, your eyes are bloodshot, and there are some red spots on the back of your hands. It is obviously a disease of body dryness and heat, which is probably caused by the incompatibility between husband and wife."
Rong Baobao continued to say tentatively, the more we can prove the reason why Rong Shangqing is like this, the more we can explain the reason why the Queen Mother, whose complexion is different from hers, looks like the spring breeze blowing on her face, and her eyes are filled with water. Come on.
Hearing what Rong Baobao said, Rong Shangqing was startled. He looked carefully at the back of his hand. Sure enough, there were some small red spots that were not noticeable. He couldn't tell whether it was a reaction to drinking. It was really some kind of body dryness and heat. disease.
"Looks like I need to take a rest soon." Rong Shangqing forced a smile. Thinking of Su Changqing's incompetence, he couldn't help but feel extremely angry. However, there was no reason to talk about the couple's sexual intercourse. It was just a joke, but it was impossible. Help her solve the problem.
"The queen's complexion is very good, which may be related to her meditation in Jingjingzhaojian'an. Do you want to ask the queen? I just saw that her skin is delicate and her eyes are like a pool of autumn water. She is much better cared for than you, third sister. ." Rong Baobao encouraged Rong Shangqing calmly.
Before the Queen Mother left, she also came to the side hall to say hello to all the female relatives. Rong Shangqing had seen it before, but she was far away at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. After hearing Rong Baobao's words, she felt that her aunt did have something to say. Unknown beautiful style.
"Isn't my aunt resting? I'll ask you again when I say hello tomorrow." Rong Shangqing has not seen the Queen Mother alone recently, but she does not doubt that she is alienated and rejected. After all, even if Su Changqing and Nanjun Wang did what For stupid things, Su Changqing was just raised high and dropped gently. The focus was on punishing the mastermind and the Prince of Nanjun who instigated Su Changqing. This was naturally for the sake of the Rong family and Rong Shangqing.
"The queen sleeps very late. She listens to the masters and wives preaching a sutra every night before taking a bath... The aura of the Zangyue Pond is full of energy. Every time you take a dip, you feel like you have been reborn..." Rong Baobao said. Then, in order to prevent Rong Shangqing from discovering that her flirtatious intentions were too obvious, she turned around and talked about the various benefits of the Zangyue Pond.
Could Rong Shangqing not know the benefits of Zangyue Pond? It is said that it is the most spiritual spring in the entire Kunlun Mountains, and its health benefits far exceed those of other springs.
The Empress Dowager often stayed at Jingjingzhaojian'an, which was why there was a Zangyue Pond. However, this place was exclusively used by the palace, and even Rong Shangqing had no delusions about entering the Zangyue Pond.
Just thinking about it, she couldn't hold back the idea of meeting the Queen Mother. It didn't matter if she didn't enter the Zangyue Pond. There was nothing wrong with asking for a bucket of water to bathe in, right? It seems that the masters of Jingjingzhaojian Temple were fetching water from the Zangyue Pond, but they didn't go in directly to take a dip.
As the niece who grew up with the Queen Mother, she is not as close as those charming nuns.
"Empress, let's go together to say hello to my daughter?" Rong Shangqing stood up and said. She didn't know what the Queen Mother's plans were tomorrow morning. If she didn't go to say hello now, she wouldn't know when she would have the chance to see her next time.
"No, I still have to accompany Your Majesty." Seeing that Rong Shangqing had taken the bait, Rong Baobao couldn't wait to leave, wanting to show off to Qin Beibei that he was able to do things well.
Rong Shangqing watched Rong Baobao swaying away and felt a little strange, as if she came here just to encourage Rong Shangqing to pay her respects to the Queen Mother... Is there any taboo in it? For example, it is not suitable to go now. Say hello to the Queen Mother?
But she was not guilty of this little cousin, who couldn't write two words of honor in one stroke... Rong Shangqing didn't doubt him, got up and left the banquet, and went to find the Queen Mother.
Rong Baobao held up her skirt and quietly appeared next to Qin Beibei, gave her a gesture, and then sat back in her seat. Listening to Qin Beibei dealing with the toasting ministers, the words of congratulations came to her mind. Entering Bao Rong's ears makes her want to yawn. No wonder Qin Beibei wants brother Shou'an to go to court every day. Facing such a group of people, it would be really difficult if there is no one he particularly likes and looks comfortable with.
After finally waiting until the banquet was over, Qin Beibei drove back to the palace.
What we return to here is naturally the palace specially prepared for the emperor by the Royal Temple. Although it is far less vast and majestic than the palace in Longyin City, it is still extremely luxurious, especially the huge luminous pearls collected from the sea around Riyue Mountain. Everywhere, faint light can be seen falling on the ground, as if it were collected and swayed by the bright moon.
Rong Baobao did not go to the queen's palace, but followed Qin Beibei. The emperor's harem did not have many concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards at this time. There was only the empress. It was normal to accompany him to bed, but no one could think of the empress. I just feel that it is more convenient to prepare for the evening "night visit to Mu Junyan Courtyard" in the emperor's palace.
"Mu Junyan Yuan, as a royal nunnery, there are some problems with naming a courtyard like this." Rong Baobao thought about the information revealed in various details, "You think so? A red girl from the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion The smell of the place where you live. People who live there feel that they will have problems with men and women."
"Nonsense." Qin Beibei criticized Rong Baobao seriously and seriously as usual. Although Qin Beibei had begun to doubt, how could such a serious problem be analyzed in a preconceived way?
Qin Beibei was quite familiar with Jingjing Zhaojian Nunnery. Instead of sitting in a sedan chair, she stepped aside and asked the attendants and maids to follow them from a distance. She and Rong Baobao walked slowly in the night-filled palace corridors.
"Master Yu Tuan's mountain includes Fu Su Ju, Master Wang Yue's Yueshangliu Residence, and the Mu Junyan Courtyard. They are all named from poems and sentences. If you have nothing to do, read more books and don't open your mouth to talk about your chest. I don’t have any ink feelings, I don’t ask your mother to be respectful to the world, but don’t embarrass yourself in front of the people of the world.”
"Ai... Actually, I had thought that when I came to Jingjingzhaojian Temple with my brother Shou'an to perform a secret mission, we would soak in the hot springs in Zangyue Pond and then go to Mujun Yanyuan for a short stay." Rong Baobao told Qin Beibei didn't care about the sarcasm. It's really hard to say how many years she can be the Queen... There's no need to take it too seriously.
Besides, as long as the secrets in the palace are not exposed, her position as the empress is extremely stable and she will never be overthrown because she does not study.
"What secret mission?" Qin Beibei was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Rong Baobao was talking about the "dragon-bearing species". When he was a child, he played with brother Shou'an and he liked to say this when he took everyone to have fun. It was a secret mission... Qin Beibei sighed in his heart, not knowing whether it was feelings or facts, but she always felt that she was so happy when she was a child.
When she grew up, the only time she could feel physically and mentally satisfied, full of expectations and sweetness was that night in the underground palace and the Rebirth Hall. At that time, Qin Shou'an still led her and loved her as he did when he was a child. Let her hide in his back and go on adventures and get into trouble together.
"Oops!"
"What?" Qin Beibei was startled by Rong Baobao and her heartbeat was a little tight. She was just staring at the ground with her thoughts in mind. When she heard Rong Baobao yelling, the shadow she stepped on the ground seemed to be struggling. He was beating, as if he was scared to run away, so he couldn't help but glare at Baobao Rong.
Rong Baobao turned a blind eye to Qin Beibei's scowl and said with fear: "Didn't I hear Master Wangyue say before that if a man and a woman stir up trouble in the Zangyue Pond, they will definitely be able to get the woman pregnant?"
Qin Beibei frowned and stared at Rong Baobao, "There is such a saying...but no men and women have bathed together in it before..."
At this point, Qin Beibei knew why Rong Baobao screamed just now, so she and Rong Baobao looked at each other.
"Think about it... think about it... if it's like what I discovered with great astuteness before..." Rong Baobao's voice couldn't help but have a cry, "He and he are really together, how could we not take a bath together as mandarin ducks?" ? Maybe, maybe there is already... a crown prince in her belly now."
Hearing Bao Bao Rong's cry, Qin Beibei couldn't help but feel upset. Although the Queen Mother originally said that she and Bao Bao Rong did this, if the Queen Mother did it herself, who could say anything? After all, in the face of this matter, all personal wishes of children and children should be put aside.
Qin Beibei originally thought that the so-called "night visit to Mu Junyan Courtyard" was a bit nonsense, but now she had to do it.
She raised her head. In this starry night, there was no clear moonlight, but there were two extremely long shadows, spanning the front courtyard of the palace. Qin Beibei stared into the distance and found that there seemed to be two people. He is standing on the head of Chi (li) on the main ridge of the main hall.
"You feel so majestic standing there, don't you? Come here!" Qin Beibei recognized at a glance that it was definitely not any other master of the imperial guard, it could only be Hei Ji and Bai Ji, and couldn't help shouting angrily .
