Chapter 173: Going to the funeral for the Queen Mother
Even if she exposed the truth, she couldn't find any other excuse to get away with it.
The Queen Mother suddenly had a headache. They were both granddaughters. A Bao ate and drank, was innocent, and brought her a new life.
But the girl from Xuan'er's family insisted on giving her some Ksitigarbha Sutra! She wrote it word by word, and the more seriously she wrote, the more effort she put into the salvation. She really wanted to send her old bones away.
"Go to the Han Palace and give the things to the Han King. Don't let Luan'er leave the palace today, and she doesn't have to attend the palace banquet tonight."
The old nanny quickly replied.
Han Palace.
Di Hongluan waited in the palace for more than an hour, and finally someone came from the palace.
She said to Princess Han beside her happily: "Mom, hurry up, someone from the palace is here to invite us."
On the first day of the new year, even the concubines and princes could not enter the Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager did not see them. If only Princess Han and Di Hongluan were invited, how many people would be jealous of this treatment.
Princess Han had come back and carefully dressed up, while Di Hongluan wore a simple white dress.
She learned from the plot that the Empress Dowager liked plain clothes, especially disliked flaunting glamour.
When someone from the palace saw Di Hongluan in plain clothes, she almost fell down.
"The Empress Dowager has ordered that the little princess will be confined to her room for the day and will not be allowed to attend the palace banquet in the evening."
Di Hongluan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head in confusion. She simply stood up and raised her chin, "My Lords, did you misrepresent the imperial decree? How could the Empress Dowager not let me enter the palace during the New Year?"
There is also a palace banquet in the evening! It
is a good opportunity to make friends with the powerful in Beijing. The daughters of famous families are trying their best to get in.
"What are you talking about, little princess? The Empress Dowager has ordered it, how dare we misrepresent it." The eunuch sighed and shook his head.
Di Hongluan was hanging his clothes, it was wrong, it must be wrong.
She had clearly given the Empress Dowager her favorite gift, and it was a Buddhist scripture that she had copied herself after staying up late for several nights, which showed her sincerity. Why did she end up under house arrest?
Here, Princess Han's face had turned pale. After repeated inquiries, the eunuchs became a little impatient. It was the New Year, and who didn't want to have a good start? But they had to be questioned in the Han Palace.
Gone.
Before leaving, the eunuchs really couldn't bear it anymore, "The little princess is young and ignorant, and Princess Han is also ignorant. The little princess is wearing plain clothes, and she gave that thing to the Empress Dowager. This... is it the New Year, or is it a funeral? She is ignorant, really too ignorant!"
This is also an old man beside the Empress Dowager. They naturally learned from the old nanny why the Empress Dowager was unhappy today.
After the few people left, the cold prince came over with a livid face, supported by someone.
There was no other way, he couldn't see, and couldn't leave anyone by his side.
"Father, wuwuwu..." Di Hongluan burst into tears. Her father loved her the most. She wanted to tell her all the grievances today and let her father make the decision for her. "The Empress Dowager is partial to Di Jiaoyang and doesn't like me, but I am also her granddaughter, why..."
"You're still talking! Did you send the Buddhist scriptures to the Empress Dowager today?"
Di Hongluan was stunned, "Yes, I did, father, I prepared it carefully, just to please the Empress Dowager. Doesn't the Empress Dowager like the Buddhist scriptures the most? Did I send the wrong ones?"
The Han Wang frowned, and his tone became serious, "You should consider the time when you send the Buddhist scriptures. Your Empress Dowager likes the Buddhist scriptures, but you should consider what kind of scriptures you send.
You sent the Ksitigarbha Sutra on the first day of the New Year. Do you want to send your Empress Dowager away? The eunuchs just said that you are wearing a plain dress. Luan'er, you don't plan to let our Han Wang Mansion have peace during the New Year, right? Whose family is not happy?"
Di Hongluan clicked her tongue, she didn't think of so much.
This, you have to choose the time to send things?
"Father, I have also inquired about it. Di Jiaoyang did not give anything to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager hugged her all day today. I heard that she also gave her a big red envelope! Father, the Empress Dowager is biased. Those who gave gifts were confined, and those who did not gave gifts were given a big red envelope. Why?" It
was the first time that Prince Han was so angry with his daughter.
He always thought that Di Hongluan was smart and calm enough, different from other children. Now he saw that she was really different. She was more arrogant than other children!
"Luan'er, you don't know your grandmother. The old lady loves family happiness and laughter the most. But you are so cunning and angry with Abao on the first day of the new year. It's your father's fault. I neglected to discipline you and spoiled you. You stay in the mansion today and don't go anywhere!"
Di Hongluan's face turned pale, and she sat on the ground, crying loudly, "Even father doesn't like me anymore, Abao, Abao, does father like Di Abao too? Obviously, I am your biological daughter, wuwuwu." She cried
once, then made a fuss, and cried a lot. Her father was the most susceptible to this.
She wanted to make her father heartbroken!
Before the King of Han felt sorry for her, the Princess of Han could not help but said, "My Lord, why are you scolding Luan'er? Luan'er is only ten years old. What does a ten-year-old child know?" "
You've spoiled her!"
The King of Han's heart sank, and he left in anger.
On the first day of the new year, Abao happily received red envelopes until his hands were swollen.
"Happy New Year..."
"Hello, Aunts Piao Niang..."
"Hello, Sisters Guo Guo..."
The little guy was like a lucky doll, and because he was the youngest in the palace, he was stuffed with red envelopes by the concubines wherever he went. The little princesses and eunuchs also liked Abao very much, and they also took out small red envelopes and stuffed one for the little girl.
There were baskets of big and small ones.
Abao was happy and counted the red envelopes in Cining Palace.
[It's great to celebrate the New Year, we can eat meat and get red envelopes]
[It would be nice if we celebrated the New Year every day, it's too lively]
The Queen Mother looked at the little girl sitting on the blanket counting money and laughing, and she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Look, this is a child.
Children's happiness is so simple, they just want to celebrate the New Year every day.
"This New Year, take some money from my private treasury, and distribute some to each palace in the name of the tenth princess, and give some to the servants, to celebrate it."
The old nanny replied: "Yes."
Abao's happy day came to an end. He had a great time today and went to bed early at night.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the concubines had to go back to their parents' homes.
Defei took Abao back to the general's mansion.
Su Jinye went to the battlefield half a year ago to make achievements.
Su Laoer went to study and said that he would not be back until after the Chinese New Year.
Su Laosan went to do business and would not go home until he made a name for himself.
There were only the two old people in the general's mansion. They played in the general's mansion with Defei, the tyrant and the little girl for a day.
According to the customs of the Tiansheng Dynasty, the third day of the Chinese New Year is the day for the royal family to worship their ancestors.
On the third day, just after midnight, Abao was called by Defei. Today was different from the joy and excitement of the previous two days. Abao opened his eyes in a daze and felt that the atmosphere in the palace was more solemn and quiet than usual.
Abao couldn't help but become serious and stopped smiling, "Cool kiss..."
