Chapter 52: No nosy
Where can the old lady still sit.
Although she has seen some of the world, but in the end, relying on the credit of her second son, there are basically no people who have the courage to be arrogant in front of the old lady over the years.
Years of pampering have made the old lady forget the threat posed by imperial power.
Now I know that the royal family can give glory to the Northwest Palace, and it can easily deprive everything of it.
It's a pity that Tao Wan and Zhou don't have such a big picture, in their opinion, as long as they get rid of the relationship with Mama Deng, they can escape and continue to make waves in this northwest palace.
The eldest princess looked at Zhou, then at Tao Wan, and finally her eyes fell on the old lady's face.
I don't know why, the old lady always felt that the eldest princess's eyes carried a little deep pity.
Because she couldn't guess the princess's thoughts, the old lady could only keep smiling, trying her best to look dignified and decent, and not disappointing the glory that her son and grandson had earned for the Tao family by enduring hardships in the northwest.
After a while, the eldest princess sighed and said in a low voice: "Old lady, you know the temperament of this palace. Hongu is the least fond of meddleling. The palace came today, firstly, to accompany the horse to announce the decree, and secondly, to visit his sister-in-law. For these things that happened in the house, this palace is not interested in it at all. What the Lady wants to do with it is entirely up to the old lady herself. You don't have to worry about the main palace and the horses, and you don't have to be too embarrassed. ”
When Mingyue Qingfeng was called over to help, the holy decree returned to Cao Yuma's hands.
At this moment, Cao Fuma gently rubbed the holy decree, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and there was no focus, but it made people feel that he was very worried about Aunt Cao inside.
Tao Wan and Zhou, as well as Mama Deng, were a little excited in each other's hearts when the eldest princess said that everything was under the orders of the old lady.
Mama Deng even knelt in front of the old lady, kowtowed, and said: "The slave maid is loyal to the palace and the old lady, and there is absolutely no evil intention." What kind of powder, the slave doesn't know what's going on. The slave maid has been serving by Madame's side today, and did not come to Aunt Cao's side. I also heard that Aunt Cao was making a fuss here, so I came with Mrs. Cao. When Aunt Cao had an accident, only the fourth lady was here. ”
"Bold!"
The old lady trembled angrily, the eldest princess made it clear that she wanted to open her eyes for Tao Yao, this cheap maid dared to bite Tao Yao, she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Mama Deng is used to being arrogant, even if she sees the old lady getting angry, she has a lot of courage, and kowtows to the old lady and says, "What the slave said is true." Many slaves and maidservants saw it. The slave did not dare to lie. ”
The old lady had a trace of obvious disappointment in her eyes, glanced at Zhou, and her voice was deep to the extreme: "Zhou, she is your dowry, what are you going to do?"
Zhou glanced at the eldest princess quickly, and found that the eldest princess was talking to the colt, and she looked very happy, so he boldly speculated that maybe the eldest princess really didn't like to meddle in things, and she became bolder.
Although Aunt Cao should be saved now, if Tao Yao can be defeated, then just one Aunt Cao will not be able to set off any waves.
Zhou quickly made up his mind: "Mother, what Mama Deng said is indeed true. But I don't want to believe that such a kind and beautiful girl would do such a heartbreaking thing. Now the truth of the matter is really confusing and very involved, so it is better to wait for the master to come back before making a decision. Now lock Mama Deng in the firewood room first. ”
Tao Wan's eyes were purring, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he chose Mingzhe to protect himself.
Either way, it's always good to get yourself out of this pit.
In this way, even if Zhou or Mama Deng is trapped in it, he will still have time and opportunity to react.
The eldest princess burst out laughing, and said to the Zhou family with a little contempt in her expression: "Zhou family, do you think that you are the only smart person in the world? Tao Hanlin went out of the house and couldn't come back in a month or two." Do you want to use procrastination?"
Zhou was in a hurry, and blurted out: "Eldest princess, you're not ......"
In the middle of speaking, he found that he had trespassed, so he quickly intercepted the conversation and lowered his head.
The eldest princess smiled solemnly: "This palace did say that this palace will not meddle in things. However, the affairs of the sister-in-law's family in this palace are not idle matters. Besides, when Tao Yao entered Beijing, the princess of the northwest once wrote to the palace, asking the palace to take good care of Tao Yao. On weekdays, Tao Yao has an old lady to take care of. Now that she has been wronged and wants to frame the sister-in-law of this palace, this palace has to take action. ”
The eldest princess said as she sighed at the old lady in great embarrassment: "The two people that this palace cares about are now caught in the same thing. The old lady thinks that for this palace, this matter is not an idle matter?"
The old lady completely understood that the eldest princess came today to show off the imperial power, and to let everyone see the glory and status that the imperial power can bring her.
Sure enough, the eldest princess's face quickly became serious, and she sneered: "Besides, the king of the northwest and the former emperor are brothers with different surnames, and Tao Yao is the county lord who was personally rewarded by the emperor. Although he is not a member of the royal family who has been on the jade, this identity does not allow anyone to be tarnished. What's more......"
The eldest princess's body leaned forward slightly, and she looked at Zhou's eyes with a little coldness: "The first emperor and the king of the northwest once had an agreement, but if there is a daughter in the Tao family, she will definitely be a royal wife." Although Tao Yao has not yet been married, she will definitely be a royal wife in the future. With such an identity, not only the palace but also the emperor, it is impossible to let Tao Yao be bullied, humiliated, and wronged! "
Zhou didn't pay attention to the second half of what the eldest princess said at all, the whole mind was the first half of what the eldest princess said, and said with a little excitement: "The daughter of the Tao family will definitely be a royal wife?
Looking at Tao Wan, whose eyes were bright behind the Zhou family, the eldest princess naturally knew what they were thinking, and sneered: "What's the matter? The third lady is willing to pass her daughter to the second room for the sake of her future?"
"Succession?"
Zhou's face was confused, why did he want to pass on.
The corner of the eldest princess's lips pulled a touch of mockery: "The one who has an agreement with the former emperor is the second master of the Tao family, and now the king of the northwest." It's not the old lady of the Tao family. The Tao family is only the second room of the Tao family. The third lady loves her daughter very much, which is understandable. But according to the palace, Miss Tao Wan is so filial, she will definitely not be willing to turn her back on her mother, right?"
