Chapter 167 The Queen Mother Favoritism
Emperor Changxing smiled when he heard this: "Although Liu Ting did not cause a big disaster, to be honest, this matter did violate the laws of the Great Chu Dynasty. If An Shicheng had done this favor because his mother had sent someone to intercede, his son would really have lost hope in him. ”
Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "He is so iron-faced and selfless, and his mother is not a saint, who knows what he will do wrong in the future, he will be held by him, and I am afraid that he will end up in a bleak evening." ”
If this happened to someone else, she probably didn't take it to heart. The fundamental reason why she is critical of An Shicheng is because she does not approve of her son giving the throne to An Shicheng, so as long as it is related to An Shicheng, she can't help but pick bones from eggs.
Emperor Changxing understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "An Shicheng pays attention to principles and laws, and he will be obedient to his mother in the future, as long as his mother is at ease in the harem, what can he do wrong, and he will not dare to give birth to a little snubbing in his heart for the noble position of the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Liu sighed: "In the final analysis, it's because it's not connected by blood, otherwise, how can I not understand the embarrassment of Liu's daughter outside, where will my old face go." ”
Emperor Changxing lowered his eyes and was silent, he strongly disagreed with his mother's connivance with Liu's daughter, but deep down he thought that in the end, the woman in the boudoir could not cause any big turmoil, and he had many national affairs to consider, so he let it go, and now it seems that he still underestimated the power of women.
In fact, long before this, he had heard that Liu's daughter had a bad reputation, not only the boudoir women were bold, they were married, and they also behaved unruly, but because of the protection of their mother, everyone had to swallow their anger. Among them, there are some of the children of the An family who married the daughters of the Liu family, and in the long run, they will have resentments, but they have wasted all their efforts to make the An and Liu families live in peace.
Emperor Changxing sighed secretly, Liu Ting looked good earlier, otherwise her mother would not have moved the idea of making her the queen, but she didn't expect that she was now also contaminated with the vice of Liu's daughter's flying and domineering, and in order to force An Shicheng to comply, he dared to let him break into the house at night to kidnap people.
In fact, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to warn the daughters of the Liu family. But now it seems. In the eyes of her mother, the future of the daughters of the Liu family is not as important as her current face, as long as her mother is happy. He didn't bother to bother with Liu's future.
Emperor Changxing thought of this. I sighed slightly. smiled: "What my mother said is that An Shicheng is indeed too inflexible, so my son asked him to come over and teach him a lesson." ”
Empress Dowager Liu thought for a moment. Feeling inappropriate, he shook his head and said: "Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife, this matter is not enough for you to come forward in person, I will pass on to the Duchess of Lu Guo to speak in a while." ”
While talking, the palace people went back and forth: Duchess Lu Guo came to ask the Queen Mother for her guilt.
It turned out that after the eunuch left Lu Guogong's mansion, Lu Guogong thought that Empress Dowager Liu was still a good person, so he didn't pay much attention to the refusal, and An Shicheng also thought that what he said was reasonable, so they walked away.
Duchess Lu couldn't help but think about it, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became, so she simply went into the palace to ask the queen mother for her guilt.
Empress Dowager Liu got up and said with a smile: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and passed her to Cishou Palace, I want to see how she acts." ”
Empress Dowager Liu was surrounded by all the palace people, set up in Cishou Palace, and as soon as she entered the main hall, she saw Duchess Lu Guo kneeling in front of the palace in a regular manner.
Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but walk towards the hall, and said with a smile: "The mourning family hasn't come in yet, what kind of gift did you do? ”
Duchess Lu didn't dare to get up, bowed her head and said: "The concubine is guilty, please punish the queen mother." ”
When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, she stopped and wrote lightly: "What is the crime?"
Duchess Lu replied: "The concubines and children have no way, which makes it difficult for my rebel son to speak, and collides with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is generous and has a heart for the world, and does not care about children. ”
Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "Just say this to you, the mourning family wants to blame, and they have to put this thought to rest, otherwise it won't seem that the mourning family is too ungenerous." ”
Seeing this, Duchess Lu Guo's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly kowtowed, not daring to say anything.
Empress Dowager Liu smiled again: "The mourning family is just a joke, look at it scares you, in the final analysis, it is all a family, that is, I was so embarrassed at that time, I am an elder, and I will not remember the hatred of the junior in the future." ”
When Duchess Lu Guo listened to Empress Dowager Liu's words, she didn't know what to do, and she had to ask for guilt again and again.
Empress Dowager Liu said lightly: "Come on, let's end the collision, the mourning family is not as stingy as you think." It's the Qiu family's side, what are you going to do in your house?"
Duchess Lu was afraid that the Queen Mother would force Liu Ting to come to the Guogong Mansion again, so she peeked at the Queen Mother's expression and said carefully: "The Qiu family is kind to my family, the family affairs of the two families have been talked about for more than ten years, and the Geng post has been changed a few days ago, this incident is an accident, this family matter is not easy to stop......
Before she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Liu interrupted: "The mourning family didn't ask you this, if the Qiu family insists on suering, the mourning family doesn't look good on this face." ”
Duchess Lu originally wanted to say: "It's not easy for the Guogong Mansion to take care of this matter, and the Qiu family has not married into the Guogong Mansion yet, so she may not be willing to take our words to heart." ”
However, when the words came to her lips, Duchess Lu Guo said: "Please rest assured that the queen mother will handle things properly and will not embarrass Miss Liu Ting." ”
Empress Dowager Liu nodded with satisfaction and entered the hall, and Duchess Lu got up and wiped her sweat and hurriedly retreated.
Not long after, her confidant Chang's mother went to Shunyang City with a message from Duchess Lu Guo.
After Yu invited Chang's mother to drink tea, he couldn't help sighing.
Although it was the meaning of the Queen Mother, but the events of that night, many people in the city had already heard the rumors, if they let go of their hands so unclearly, even if the Lu Guogong Mansion didn't mind, but in the eyes of others, they didn't know how to speculate.
But if they don't act according to the Queen Mother's wishes, they Qiu family will not live.
Yu Shi thought about it for a long time, and finally called her daughter and explained the meaning of Chang's mother's visit.
When Qiu Ruyi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "What Liu Ting did violated the law of the Great Chu Dynasty, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, how could the Queen Mother herself be the first to show favoritism, and how to set an example for hundreds of officials in the future?
When Chang's mother heard this, she ignored Yu's presence and hurriedly said: "Miss Qiu, please be careful, the Queen Mother's actions are not commented on by our housewife." Miss Qiu, please listen to the old slave's advice, be forgiving and forgiving, don't do things too desperately. The people of the Liu family are not the ones that we ordinary people dare to offend in a slack, not to mention that the Queen Mother is a king, we are the people, and we should act according to the order. ”
Qiu Ruyi sneered: "Mom really doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks, it's not that I have to be unforgiving, I am a victim of this matter, thanks to Liu Ting's actions, otherwise I may not have the life to stand here and talk today." Besides, now my mother is talking about white teeth, how do I know if you ate someone else's invitation, or if it is really the meaning of the Queen Mother? Why do you have to take a decree or something, make a token. ”
Chang's mother was dumbfounded by Qiu Ruyi's words, so she had to turn her head to look at Yu Shi, and said with a smile: "Mrs. in-law, you have been in charge of the family for a long time, and your vision of things is naturally longer than that of a boudoir girl. ”
Yu Shi smiled and said: "She is a little informal, and I also know that you dare not act in the name of the Queen Mother, but in the end, there is no basis for what you say, without a certificate, in the future, my daughter's name will not be guaranteed, and your mansion will not be honored." As long as the Queen Mother really made a will, and the reputation of the Qiu family was smeared, we didn't dare to sue Miss Liu Ting again. ”
Where does Chang's mother go to get any vouchers to come out, Empress Dowager Liu is naturally a very face-saving person, if she can make a clear will, she will not let the Duchess of Lu Guo come forward to deal with this matter, originally thought that as long as the Duke of Lu Guo knew Qiu Ruyi's innocence, and the Queen Mother's intentions, the Qiu family should also let go, where did I think that this mother and daughter are ambitious, and would rather be beheaded than bow.
Chang's mother had to hurry back to sue Duchess Lu Guo.
Duchess Lu couldn't help sighing, the Qiu family is really a hard bone, but she is not a person inside and outside now.
No matter how reluctant Duchess Lu was, she had to enter the palace to return to Empress Dowager Liu.
Without waiting for Duchess Lu Guo to enter the palace, Emperor Changxing had already received the news here, so he smiled and said: "This Qiu Ruyi is a person, if this matter is not done by Liu Ting, maybe he can still be appreciated by his mother." ”
Li Quan said with a smile on the side: "Just because she won the emperor's praise, it is also her Qiu family who has burned high incense for several lifetimes." ”
Emperor Changxing smiled and changed the subject: "Since they dare to come to report, it seems that the matter is clearly investigated, so report the situation to the Queen Mother, whatever she does, I don't have to worry about it." ”
Li Quan hurriedly agreed, and said with a smile for a while: "This Miss Qiu and the emperor are really fated, and there are many things in the court that can't be found, and you can get clues from her, which helps a lot." This warning robbery incident in the middle of the night was originally a reward for her, but she didn't expect to find An Shihuan's flaws again, and indirectly helped again. It seems that this Miss Qiu must be a wonderful person, and after An Shihuan suffered a big loss at the hands of Miss Qiu, he could still have the heart of pity and pity the jade and ran to warn. ”
Emperor Changxing disagreed, and said with a smile: "An Shihuan has always been a merry seed, fortunately there was this accident, otherwise I really didn't know that An Shihong's hand was stretched out so long." ”
When Li Quan heard this, although he had a secret plan in his heart, it was not good to say it at this time.
However, Emperor Changxing said to himself on the side: "Speaking of which, this Miss Qiu has done me a lot of favor, and her actions are quite in line with my mother and my thoughts. (To be continued......)
