Chapter 67: Wang Zhaojun's Great Desert Fate (8)
In the Yikun Palace, Queen Wang sat on the main seat, wearing gold beads and phoenix hairpins, wearing black and red clothes, the corners of her eyes showed a slightly haggard color, and she looked coldly at the row of concubines below and said that the east and west.
The most active of these concubines was a woman of about thirty years of age, with a delicate face and a lively expression. She has eight treasures on her head and gold beads, wears a string of red coral bead chains, and wears a purple smoke and clouds splendid gold thread skirt, full of luxury, and she is not inferior to the queen on the main seat.
This woman is Fu Zhaoyi, who is talking to the surrounding concubines about the recent Hun and kinship incidents in the palace.
"Have you heard? This time I went to kiss a big beauty! At a glance, I was taken in by that Xiongnu Shan Yu, and she didn't marry. Someone gossiped.
"Isn't it said that she is a palace maid who has been in the palace for five years, is it that good?" someone asked in confusion.
"Yes! It is said that she is both talented and beautiful, and even us people may not be able to compare with her!" someone exclaimed.
"I don't believe it! If she is so good, how can she stay in the palace for so long and not be able to come out?" retorted a young and vigorous concubine.
When Fu Zhaoyi heard this, she couldn't help but chuckle and raised her voice: "I heard His Majesty say this. That woman's name is Wang Yan, and she is indeed a rare beauty with excellent talent and appearance, and even Her Majesty is amazed! What a pity!"
"If that's the case!, then why can't she meet Her Majesty?" someone asked.
It is said that after being selected to enter the palace that year, the painter deliberately painted her portrait ugly and failed to enter the emperor's eyes. Later, each palace assigned palace maids, but for some reason she was left out. She has been staying in the palace and can't move around often. It's a pity, such a good woman. Otherwise, we can have one more talented sister!" Fu Zhaoyi's face was full of regret.
"That's a shame. But how could she have missed it?" asked a palace concubine next to her, frowning.
"It's not just her, it's said that there are more than a dozen palace maids left out on the side of the Yeting Palace! As for why, where would we know? We are not the people in charge of the harem, so we have to ask the queen mother about this!" Fu Zhaoyi easily pointed the suspicion at Queen Wang, and looked at her with a sneering look on her face, without hiding the disdain in her eyes.
This queen is really out of place! She comes from a hairpin family, and she is a queen, and she gave birth to a son-in-law. It's a pity that I'm too careful, I am jealous all day long, fighting with other concubines, and I don't have the demeanor of a mother in the world.
Everyone turned their faces to the queen's side in unison.
"Fu Zhaoyi, what do you mean by this?" Queen Wang was furious when she saw Fu Zhaoyi directing this matter to her.
"What can I mean? But let's be honest. Fu Zhaoyi shook off the handkerchief, wiped the lipgrease on his lips, and was not afraid of the queen's lust, "We are at most the masters of the first palace, and it would be good to be able to manage our own palace." This palace is only in your hands, so I don't want to ask who you ask?"
"You ......" Queen Wang was so angry that she had a mouthful of old blood in her heart, and stretched out her hand to point at Fu Zhaoyi, her face was blue and white. This matter was originally tacitly tacitly agreed by the palaces, but now Fu Zhaoyi blatantly pushed it on her alone, but she couldn't defend herself.
Fu Zhaoyi saw that she had succeeded in getting angry with Queen Wang, and immediately stood up satisfied, "There is still something in the palace of the concubines, so I will leave first!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for the queen to speak, and walked away.
Fu Zhaoyi followed Emperor Han Yuan when he was still the crown prince, and he has been favored for so many years, and he has children by his side, and Emperor Han Yuan has two grown up sons under the knee of the prince and her son Liu Kang, who should have been promoted a long time ago, but they were all pressed by the queen, and she was promoted several times on the grounds of her humble background. Therefore, Fu Zhaoyi is only maintaining a superficial courtesy to the queen at present, and she will stimulate her when she has the opportunity. Who made her try to hold her down in every possible way?
Anyway, this matter was originally related to the queen, and when it started, he was at most straightforward and fast-talking, and he didn't talk nonsense.
The other concubines also left one by one, and many of them did not hide the ridicule in their eyes. This queen usually doesn't treat them very well, she has more than enough coercion, and she doesn't give enough grace, so she suppresses them from time to time, and now they are very happy to see her deflated.
After these people left, Queen Wang couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and dropped the tea cup in her hand directly.
Xiangrui hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry!"
"This group of little foxes usually dominate the emperor, and when there is something to do, they all pick it up and push it on me! Especially that Fu Zhaoyi, she has to have a heart, why didn't she lead those palace maids to her own palace in the first place, and only picked two ordinary ones? Now she pretends to shout 'It's a pity', it's disgusting!" When the queen mentioned Fu Zhaoyi, her face was full of disgust.
"Fu Zhaoyi is from a low background, no matter how favored she is, she is just a Zhaoyi, she has never been able to go past you, why do you have to be like her?" Xiangrui followed Queen Wang's thoughts and slowly persuaded her.
When the queen heard this, she felt a little better in her heart, but when she thought of her eyes when she was leaving, her heart was furious, and she said to Xiangrui: "You send someone to call the prince to me." ”
"Yes!" Xiangrui took the errand and went obediently.
Liu Biao was called to the Yikun Palace, and saw that the queen was sitting there wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"What else? I, a queen, have been bullied by one of your father's favorite concubines all day long! Woo woo...... "When the queen saw her son, she cried even harder.
Liu Biao was speechless. Of course, he felt sorry for his mother, but this harem matter, how could he say anything as a junior! But the queen mother cried so sadly, he had to endure the headache and ask, "What's wrong with Fu Zhaoyi?"
"It's not the matter of those palace maids waiting for the edict in the Ting Palace? What everyone tacitly knew at the time is now on my head. It's just that your father blames me, what kind of character is Fu Zhaoyi, and he is qualified to find fault with me?"
……
"Fu Zhaoyi is a person in the harem, the queen mother, you don't like not to see her, what's so difficult. Liu Biao really couldn't say anything, so he had to persuade him like this.
In the past, when he was young, he also cursed those disobedient concubines with his mother, but now that he has grown up, he knows that he doesn't need to get involved in these trivial things, and many things are not what they seem to be, and love is no longer so easy to be swayed by others. As long as you work hard, you will have a good life for the queen mother.
When Empress Wang heard this, she thought for a moment and said, "No! If you don't let her come to me every day to say good morning, she won't have me as a queen in her eyes! Fu Zhaoyi relied on your father to spoil her, and she was lawless. Son, you must fight for the queen mother!"
"I will let the queen mother enjoy her old age in peace, don't worry!" Liu Biao promised.
"It's all to blame on the queen mother, I can't keep your father's heart, and I can't help you!"
"Don't say that, the queen mother, you can give me everything you can give, I remember it in my heart. ”
The queen smiled with satisfaction. She thought for a while, and then said hatefully: "Speaking of which, I still have to blame that princess! If it weren't for her whim to go to the Xiongnu and kiss, your father would not blame me, and I would not have suffered this insult today! Your father and emperor killed the painter Mao Yanshou and raided his house for her! Fortunately, she was going to go with her relatives, otherwise it would be another disaster!"
Queen Wang was quick to talk for a while, and she said what blamed Zhaojun. If it weren't for this palace maid signing up and pro-Xiongnu, Emperor Yuan of Han would not have known about it, and her majesty as the empress would not have been challenged again. After saying that, she felt that it was inappropriate. His son is different from that "Wang Yan". But the words have been spoken, so take the opportunity to give her some eye drops in front of her son. After all, the prince has always been filial and has always been obedient to her.
Liu Biao didn't sound right. Although Zhaojun has no relationship with him, he has already become a cinnabar mole in his heart, and he doesn't want anyone to touch her. In the face of the queen mother's obviously biased remarks, he still decided to defend her a few words.
"Queen Mother, you can't blame the princess for this. She was able to stand up, go to the Xiongnu and make such a sacrifice for the Han Dynasty, and she was a hero of my Han Dynasty. Mao Yanshou openly asked for bribes and deceived the public, and he deserved this fate. ”
……
The queen's eyes widened. This is the first time in her life that her widow has clearly expressed her disapproval of him. Although objectively speaking, Fu'er's statement is right, but he has never refuted himself before, and this is the first time he disagrees with himself, because of a palace maid!
Queen Wang's heart was sour, but she thought that her son had vomited blood for that palace maid, so she forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. Fortunately, the princess is about to leave the Huns, and her son has not been to see her recently, no matter how smart and beautiful she is, after a long time, her son's feelings for her will always fade slowly. There is no need to stimulate my son.
The scene that happened in Yikun Hall Zhao Jun didn't know at all. She has been sorting out her things in the palace for the past few days. In fact, there is nothing to tidy up, there are people in the palace who have prepared everything, and the dowry prepared for her by Emperor Han Yuan is also sufficient, which is no different from a real princess. It's just that the palace maids who live together have tears in their eyes, as if they want to say goodbye to her.
They have been getting along day and night all these years, sympathizing with each other, and they have a deep sisterly relationship, and they are reluctant to go to that desolate and backward place for Zhaojun, and they have to comfort Zhaojun one by one.
Zhaojun was talking to the sisters, and Emperor Yuan of Han sent a decree to Zhaojun to come to see him.
