Chapter Twenty-Six: The Queen's Scheme
"The concubines ask the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, the Empress Dowager Wanfu Jin'an, and the Empress Dowager (Queen Mother) Wanfu Jin'an!"
The queen led the crowd in salutation. I saw two graceful and luxurious women sitting in the room, and that kind of grandeur looked like it was full of nobility and awe.
"Let's get up. ”
With a few words, the Queen Mother showed a smile, and the grandmothers behind her hurriedly helped their masters up, and after the master stood up, they took the hand of the supporter and walked to the seat and sat down.
"The queen's body is heavy, don't care about these false courtesies in the future, it is only right to give birth to a concubine for the emperor with peace of mind. The Empress Dowager looked at the Empress and couldn't help but persuade. I was also very satisfied with this dignified and virtuous queen, and now that she was pregnant with the emperor's son-in-law, she naturally didn't want her to be tired.
The concubine knew that the Empress Dowager did not want the concubines to suffer, but the concubines also wanted to do their filial piety by the side of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. ”
The queen also flattered with a smile, and when she saw a smiling smile on the queen mother's face, she also happily served the tea served by her side.
Seeing that the queen was so polite, the empress dowager also looked at her happily, and then slowly looked at the empty seat and asked, "Guo Guiren is in the future today, but he is not feeling well?"
This sentence is to ask the concubine, now everything in the palace is managed by the concubine, such a court, if the palace concubine does not come, it should also ask the concubine for a decree.
"Speaking of which, the girl is to blame for this. ”
The concubine said reproachfully, when she noticed the curious eyes of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and continued: "When I got up this morning, Guo Guiren found the palace of the concubine, saying that Brother Baoqing was about to celebrate his birthday, and Hui Guiren asked her to come over to intercede with the concubine, and the concubine said that when the morning meeting was held, she would report to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." Who knew that Ruyue's girl was naughty and prepared a bowl of abalone soup, Guo Guiren smelled the smell, and vomited, so she had to ask her concubine to take a leave of absence. Saying that, the concubine helplessly showed a helpless expression to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager didn't speak, only to see the Empress Dowager look at the concubine reproachfully and say: "Ruyue's girl is too naughty, this is all the person who wants to be a mother, and she still does such a prank." Then the people around him who were worried: "Prepare some supplements for Guo Guiren to send over, and by the way, let the imperial doctor go over to take a look." She likes this sister of the concubine very much, but she is pregnant, she actually asked people to prepare something to make morning sickness, and she also felt that she was too messy.
"Sister Guifei should also restrain Sister Ruyue, Guo Guiren is also the emperor's heir, if she continues to mess around like this, there will be no big mess. The queen couldn't help but help. It's not that she's worried about the child in Sang Zi's belly, but she can have such an opportunity to suppress the concubine, how can she let it go?
"What the queen's sister said is that my sister must talk about the girl when she goes back, and she will always cause trouble for me. ”
The concubine humbly listened to the queen's reprimand, the smile on her face was still undiminished, looking at her appearance, she looked like a good sister who was serious and obedient. The queen saw that the concubine looked humble and obedient, and knew that she was not good at saying anything, so she had to drink it with a teacup.
Seeing that the queen and the concubine got along well, the queen mother felt a lot relieved, but when she raised her eyes and saw Hui Guiren, her heart couldn't help but be a little dark. She knew that the emperor was attacking the three feudatories, and the hearts of everyone in the court were a little fluctuating, but she didn't expect that the first to jump out would be Hui Guiren.
She didn't think that someone would frame Hui Guiren in this matter, because yesterday, she got the news that Hui Guiren went to Cuizhuxuan, and she didn't think too much about it at that time, but now she heard that Hui Guiren actually wanted to hold a birthday for Brother Baoqing, what kind of idea did she play, she couldn't guess?
I saw her put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Hui Guiren sharply, just this time, Hui Guiren's heart suddenly burst out, she didn't know why the Empress Dowager looked at herself like this, but she panicked for no reason.
"The mourning family remembers that Baoqing's birthday is November 13, and it is still early, if the nobles are too idle, they will copy the Buddhist scriptures for the emperor, which can be regarded as doing their best for the emperor. After speaking, the Empress Dowager gently flicked the teacup in her hand.
Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager, Hui Guiren hurriedly walked to the middle of the hall and saluted: "Concubine Xie Empress Dowager, the concubine will pray for the emperor, and I hope the emperor can return to the palace as soon as possible." As she spoke, her breath stabilized a little.
"Well, as long as the nobles copy Buddhist scriptures for the emperor with peace of mind, the emperor will naturally be able to come back as soon as possible. As she spoke, the Empress Dowager glanced at her lightly, and then slowly took a sip of the tea in her hand. The implied meaning in his tone made Hui Guiren nervous again.
"Yes, the concubine obeys!"
Hui Guiren thanked him unsteadily, and then returned to his seat and sat down. But she felt that she was a little anxious, she really wanted her son to return to her side as soon as possible, but she forgot that the Queen Mother was the most important rule.
Seeing Hui Guiren's pretending to be calm, the Empress Dowager felt that she was looking up to her a little, maybe she was thinking too much, who knew that as soon as her thought fell, the grandmother outside the door hurriedly said a word in Su Mo'er's ear, and then Su Mo'er said a word in the Empress Dowager's ear.
"Check, check it hard for the mourning family!"
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, the Empress Dowager put the cup in her hand on the table and made a loud noise.
The Empress Dowager suddenly had such a big fire, everyone stood up in fright, the Empress Dowager saw that her Empress Dowager was actually so angry, and she also had an ominous premonition in her heart, only to see her look at the Empress Dowager suspiciously: "Empress Eniang, what happened?" Her eyes fell on Su Mo'er's body unconsciously, she knew that her Empress Eniang was angry, and she didn't dare to touch her brow.
Su Mo'er saw the queen mother's gaze, and glanced at everyone lightly, and then: "Back to the queen mother, someone came to report just now that a concubine was painted with something that shouldn't be there, and now one of them promised to be red, and the other Chang Zai and the nobleman also had a fetal gas." As she spoke, her eyes darkened.
Everyone was also cold in their hearts, at this time, when such a thing happened, everyone's hearts were one, the queen had a bad premonition in her heart, even her back began to tremble, her face began to gradually turn white, and her breathing became even more rapid.
The concubine Niu Colu got Sang Zi's prompt this morning, and when the Empress Dowager was angry, she walked out and knelt on the ground: "It was the dereliction of duty of the concubines that killed your sisters, and please punish the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager!"
Seeing the concubine Niu Colu coming over to ask for guilt, the empress dowager's chest was heaving, and then it calmed down, but she knew that this happened in her bedroom, and even if the concubine was holding the phoenix seal, she didn't dare to manage herself.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
An old woman shouted nervously when she saw the queen's pale face.
At this time, everyone noticed the queen's face, her face was pale like a piece of paper, her forehead was wrinkled with cold sweat, seeing the queen's appearance, the queen mother immediately asked the queen to send the queen back to the Qianqing Palace, followed by a will.
At this moment, the concubine Niu Colu was standing in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, secretly praying in her heart that the queen could escape this catastrophe safely, perhaps seeing that the concubine was really worried about the queen, the queen mother glanced at Su Mo'er slightly, and then waited for the queen to give birth with peace of mind.
