Chapter 103: What Happened
At the great court meeting on the second day, the ministers obviously felt that the air pressure around the Son of Heaven seemed to be a little lower than usual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
It seems that the death of another child in the palace is still a big blow to His Majesty.
It turned out that just last night, news had already spread in the palace that Yang Meiren had a miscarriage for some reason, and His Majesty was sad and ordered the Tidal Pavilion to be closed, and no one was allowed to visit.
After everyone heard the news, they only speculated about what happened in the Tide Pavilion, but at this time, they never imagined that the Son of Heaven was hiding his eyes and ears for the sake of old things.
And the crown prince Zhu Youzhang, who learned some news in advance, stood quietly behind the emperor at this time, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, and was not moved at all.
Xie Qian and a few others wanted to have something to do, but at this time, they saw that the emperor was a little abnormal, and the prince was too calm, so they endured it for a while.
On this day, there was nothing to do in the court, but in the harem, there was already an undercurrent.
In the Guan Ju Palace, Wan Guifei looked at Mama Zhao who was trembling, and couldn't help but sink her face.
"Mama, it's just such a trivial matter, it's been a night of hard work, haven't you checked it yet?" After His Majesty left the Tide Pavilion last night, he ordered the claustrophobic closure of that Yang beauty, but in the eyes of Wan Guifei, this matter was a little unusual.
That Yang Meiren only came out yesterday morning with the news that she was suspected of being happy, and even the Empress Dowager Zhou sent Zhang Wan's girl to send a reward, which was quite elevated to the other party's posture.
Why did His Majesty go to her Tide Pavilion in the evening, and the news of a miscarriage came out? What's more, after Yang Meiren's miscarriage, His Majesty did not take special pity on her, but instead kept her claustrophobic in the Tide Pavilion and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, which made it even more strange!
Thinking of this, Wan Guifei's face couldn't help but sink a little.
Seeing this, Mama Zhao on the side couldn't care about anything else, so she had to step forward and reply.
"Niangniang, it's not that the old slave doesn't care, I really can't inquire. Mama Zhao didn't dare to raise her head, and continued to bow her head and said, "Now, the people who guard the Tide Pavilion are the people of the Imperial Forest Army, and even if the old slave has the means, he can't use it." ”
"Really?" Wan Guifei didn't believe it, "What about the Imperial Dining Room? What about the Huanyi Bureau? Mama, can't you use manpower? The living and eating affairs of the Tide Pavilion can't be also taken care of by the Imperial Forest Army, right?"
Wan Guifei has been in charge of the affairs of the harem for many years, and among the twelve prisons, there are naturally many cronies.
When Mama Zhao heard this, she had to explain glutinously, "Niangniang, now all the food and clothing sent to the Tide Pavilion are all in charge of Gonggong Zhang of the Qianqing Palace. The hands of slaves and maids can't be inserted. ”
When Zhang Huaien and Wan Guifei heard this, they were stunned. That Zhang Huaien is His Majesty's personal attendant, he has always been sleek, but he is extremely cautious in handling things, and he is really a person who does not show any words.
The fact that the things in the Tide Pavilion were personally responsible for this person was a bit of a surprise to her.
Seeing that Concubine Wan's expression was a little better, Mama Zhao had an idea, and said in a sequel, "Niangniang, you don't have to worry too much. According to the slave maid, His Majesty ordered the Tide Pavilion to be claustrophobic, but I am afraid that it is because the Yang beauty has annoyed Your Majesty, and this will be like this. ”
"Oh?" Wan Guifei raised her head, looked at Mama Zhao and said inexplicably, "Mama, do you think so too?"
The word "also", listening to Mama Zhao's heart, is undoubtedly the reassurance.
"Yes, sis. Mama Zhao quickly adjusted the expression on her face, with a respectful and flattering look, "According to the old slave, that Yang Meiren probably wanted to be favored and served, and this was just an accident, which led to her miscarriage." His Majesty was so angry that he ordered him to be claustrophobic in the Tide Pavilion. ”
In this harem, there is a young concubine who doesn't know the severity, and after she is pregnant, she still wants to be favored and sleep, which is also a common thing.
Mama Zhao's inference, in the eyes of Wan Guifei, is also reasonable.
It's just that Concubine Wan has been in control of the harem for more than ten years, and she is used to everything in the harem under her control. At this time, she had no clue about the claustrophobic Yang beauty of the Tide Pavilion. In this way, there will inevitably be a trace of panic in her heart.
After a few breaths, Wan Guifei seemed to think of something, and looked down at the Kodan on her fingernails.
"Mama," she exhaled softly, as if she was lazy, and no longer in a state of rage, "Where is Your Majesty now?" Since she couldn't see the people in the Tide Pavilion, she had to start with the other person involved in the matter, the Emperor.
Wan Guifei has an intuition that the things in the Tide Pavilion seem to have a lot to do with her, if she doesn't understand it clearly, she really can't rest assured.
Concubine Wan's temperament, Mama Zhao knows very well. She saw that her master had uncharacteristically calmed down at this time, and she was alerted in her heart, and she immediately cheered up her spirit.
"Back to Niangniang's words," Mama Zhao replied simply this time, "Your Majesty is still in the imperial study, discussing state affairs with several ministers of the court." ”
"Got it, you go down first. Wan Guifei waved her hand. Now that the emperor is discussing state affairs, although she is very favored, it is not good for her to meet the emperor at this time.
In this way, this matter will have to wait for His Majesty to return to the harem before she can knock on the side again.
..........................................................................
In the evening, after Xie Qian left the imperial study, he did not leave the palace, but hurried in the direction of the East Palace.
He walked into the gate of the East Palace, saluted the crown prince Zhu Youzhang, and said with a solemn face, "Your Highness, something is wrong. ”
Zhu Youzhu frowned, judging from the news he got, it seems that the harem of the former dynasty is fine!
"Master Xie, what's wrong?" he gave him a handful of hands and pointed to the seat beside him, "Master Xie, sit down first." ”
"Your Highness. Xie Qian is also a calm person in the end, after he sat down, he picked up the tea cup on the side, took a sip, and waited for his breath to stabilize before he spoke again.
"Your Highness, in today's deliberations in the imperial study, there are two things, but they are related to my East Palace. ”
Without waiting for Zhu Youzhu to open his mouth to ask, Xie Qian said directly. "First, Qin Tianjian has already chosen the auspicious day for your wedding, Your Highness, but was stopped by the Ministry of Rites. And Your Majesty, for some reason, even acquiesced to this matter. ”
In Xie Qian's opinion, this is very unusual. You must know that the marriage of the crown prince Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Wan has been announced to all the people in the world and to the ancestors, and because of this happy event, it has also prevented the torrential rain in the capital for months, which has won the hearts of the people.
Such a match made in heaven is now obstructed by people for no reason, and Your Majesty has acquiesced in this matter and ignored it, which is extremely abnormal.
