Chapter 162: Talking about feelings with rules, talking about feelings with rules
After hearing the notification, He Junyi'erha took action.
The beauty who was like a piece of wood who couldn't hear her nanny's words before, now she can move.
She stood up, smoothed her skirt, leaned sideways towards Yinreng, bowed slightly, and said, "Sir, I will go out to greet you personally."
"it is good."
Yinreng nodded, stood up and walked a step forward with Hezhun Yierha.
This set of movements has no meaning, but it focuses on the ritual harmony and mutual respect between couples.
The door was open and the eunuchs and palace maids who were standing around with their necks stretched had seen that the Crown Princess was gentle and modest, and the Crown Prince treated his wife like a guest.
So beautiful! Newlyweds!
What is true harmony!
Even though Yuqing Palace was a young eunuch, he couldn't help but have such thoughts.
The only one among the three people outside who was qualified to be greeted by the Crown Princess in person at the palace gate was Su Malagu, who symbolized the will of the late Grand Empress Dowager. Even Liang Jiugong, who was in front of the Emperor, was not worthy of that.
Yinreng knew it, and Junyi'erha naturally knew it too.
So as soon as she went out, she went straight to the dignified old lady holding a lantern, who was in her 80s but still dressed in palace clothes, with her back straight and her chin slightly raised. (Mao Die, 80)
He Zhun Yi Erha acted like a junior, took the lantern, held Su Malagu's arm, and asked,
"Su Malagu, why are you here?"
But Su Malagu stubbornly took back the lantern, looked at the girl in front of her who was wearing Manchu shoes and needed her to look up, and said modestly,
"My Lady Crown Princess, calling me that is really embarrassing for me."
"I'm used to respecting you."
Su Malagu said no more about this matter. She just raised her hand and patted her arms and hem, and said with a tone of melancholy and pride,
"Alas... after so many years, the beauty of our Cining Palace has grown up."
"That's right, she's grown up and become more beautiful~"
“No, you still haven’t grown up, haha, okay.
If our ancestors were still alive, they would surely be grinning from ear to ear when seeing this.”
When mentioning Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, He Zhun Yi Erha changed his smiling face and said solemnly,
"I am where I am today thanks to my ancestor's protection. It is my lifelong honor to make her happy."
As they spoke, they slowly walked up to the other two.
He Zhun Yi Erha raised his hand and said,
"Aunt Qinggertai, Eunuch Liang, please come in."
This casual remark made these two important figures among the attendants feel a little flattered.
Qinggertai smiled and said to Zhunyier Hafuli,
“Your Highness, you are so polite.
If the Queen Mother finds out about this, she will probably blame me for it."
"Aunt, are you even making fun of me now?
But I still want to drink a pot of Pu'er?
I brought this raw Pu'er tea from my mother's home. The Longsha tea was taught to me by my mother, so I guarantee it still tastes the same as before."
"Thank you very much, Her Majesty the Crown Princess, for your kindness. It's a pity that the Queen Mother is waiting for me to return today to report. I will definitely come and ask for a drink when I am free some other day."
This Qinggertai was actually an acquaintance. She was the palace maid who often sent Hezhun Yierha back to Dong'e's house.
She has long passed the age to leave the palace and get married. Now she has become self-taught and is just waiting to gain experience to take over as the head aunt.
Liang Jiugong saw all these interactions.
He didn't show it on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.
I have heard that this Crown Princess was loved by the two ancestors before she married, but I never expected it to be like this...
As the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, Liang Jiugong always had a list in his mind.
Now, the Crown Princess, who was originally ranked in the top ten, was suddenly moved up to fourth, just below Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince.
This kind of person may look like a cat, but if he actually gets ruthless, how many people in the palace will follow him and suffer...
What's more, she is Dong E!
There are six men in the family, and each one is outstanding!
If they are really pushed to the limit, even with the aged but still powerful General Peng Chun, if everyone attacks with their fists, who can withstand it?
The Crown Princess and Su Malagu walked in front and entered the hall first.
Su Malagu pulled her arm out of the Crown Princess's hand, saluted Yinreng with a dignified demeanor and straight eyes, and said,
"This old servant pays his respects to the prince."
"No need to be polite, Su Malagu."
Even someone as unruly as Yinreng still acted like a junior in front of Sumalagu.
Su Malagu served the Empress Great-Grandmother all her life. Now she is also old. Not only is she the longest-lived person in the palace, she also symbolizes the posthumous glory of the Empress Dowager after her death.
After the Empress Dowager passed away, Sumalagu devoted herself to worshipping Buddha. She did not ask to leave the palace to live out her days in luxury, but only to pray for the royal family.
Now she has taken on the task of helping to raise the twelfth prince. Such a humble person who has devoted his entire life to the royal family deserves and must be respected.
Qing Geertai and Liang Jiugong, who came later, greeted the crown prince, and then patted the main seat with Zhunyierha and said to Su Malagu, "Su Malagu, sit here."
"That's not possible."
"But Su Malagu doesn't think highly of me now?"
"The Crown Princess is so kind, I, the old slave, will sit down with you licking my face."
As she spoke, Su Malagu personally moved a small round stool over to the side. Although she sat down, her butt only lightly touched the edge of the stool.
When the two men entered the room, neither of them mentioned the prince's wet nurse who was standing in the room. However, ever since they met outside the palace, they had actually always mentioned her during their conversation.
Be it the rules that were enforced for outsiders to see or teasing conversations, every sentence was referring to the so-called prince's wet nurse.
Do you talk about rules with the prince?
When it comes to your relationship with the prince, is there anything like Su Malagu and He Zhun Yierha?
You want rules to talk about feelings, and you want rules to talk about feelings. Bah, don’t you look at who you are?
The satire expressed through actions is often more touching than that expressed through plain words.
The Forbidden City has always been a place where people can do reading comprehension. It is not an exaggeration to say that a sentence or an action can be repeatedly interpreted with eighteen layers of meaning.
How could they not see the "deep love between grandparents and grandchildren" that the Crown Princess and Su Malagu were showing off so openly?
……
Each of the three people present today has his or her own mission.
Liang Jiugong stepped forward and asked the prince,
"My Lord Crown Prince, Crown Princess, could you please tell me what is going on in Yuqing Palace today?
His Majesty has heard some incomprehensible rumors and is so worried that he can't even sleep well. He insists on waiting for me to return and report before he goes to bed to rest."
When the nurse heard the question, she quickly started to preach.
"Eunuch Liang, the matter..."
"How dare you! The masters haven't even spoken yet, why are you butting in?!"
The one who scolded loudly was Su Malagu.
She has been taking good care of her health for many years, so even at such an age, she is still domineering when scolding people. People can't help but sigh that she is still the mainstay of the Cining Palace and the head aunt of the mighty Empress Dowager.
