Chapter 145: Keen sense of smell
Doudou always knew that Empress Pei was used to pretending. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
pretended to be virtuous and generous in front of people, and even made His Majesty the Emperor think that she had made a very big sacrifice for him.
Including the ordinary people of the people, when it comes to Queen Pei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of them will praise it.
Even Yu Wenheng's reputation has deteriorated, and he only heard people talk about how the second prince is, but no one said that Queen Pei has no way to teach her son.
But I didn't expect that she not only deceived His Majesty the Emperor, but also won the sincere care of the Empress Dowager.
You must know that the people in the deep palace are weak, and most of them are self-sweeping the snow in front of the door, and it is not easy not to frame each other.
Especially Empress Pei and Yu Wenheng have been a little unfavorable recently, and others are afraid of them, but they didn't expect the Empress Dowager to ......
It seems that His Majesty the Emperor really the old lady this time, and the more the emperor doesn't like it, the more distressed she is.
It's just that the old lady doesn't know that Queen Pei and herself are already incompatible.
Is she more than old-fashioned and unlikable to herself? If you really go to Fengxiang Palace to ask for peace, then a woman will not want to be stable in this life.
It's just that she thinks she's been in a good mood lately, is she really going to find fault for herself? It's no wonder that woman will give her a good look!
Seeing that she didn't answer, the Empress Dowager said earnestly: "You can't write two Pei characters in one stroke, not to mention that she and your father are still brothers and sisters of the same mother, which is even more rare."
Brother Heng made a mistake and lost the Sacred Heart, the mother and son were treated coldly by the emperor to this point, at this time, your mother's family is the only reliance of their mother and son, the honor and disgrace of the family are one, it is natural to help them at a critical time, Brother Heng will be good in the future, you are also cheap, right? ”
Doudou couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and say, "Yuan'er knows, it's just ...... I grew up in the Yuan family, and I wasn't very close to the Pei family, and the queen didn't even say a few words......"
The Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family knows that you are embarrassed, and the queen can't turn around for a while, you see how she treated Pei Jinxin in the past, it is really better than her daughter...... And she is the master of the harem, and her identity is very limited, even if she wants to hurt you, she can't find a chance, right?
In fact, she is still a very good person, the mourning family has lived in the palace for decades, and there are really not many women with a temperament comparable to her. So you should often go into the palace to go around, one to talk to the mourning family, and the other to see her, after a long time, the relationship will not be close? ”
Isn't it incomparable, let alone in the palace, there are few women in the world who can be as despicable and shameless as Pei Tingyu!
Of course, these words can't be said, Doudou said with a sincere smile on his face: "Thank you for your great-grandmother's teachings, Yuan'er remembers." ”
The Empress Dowager patted her little face with satisfaction, and said to Lan Niang next to Feng Yuan: "Later, when you go back, you can pick up a copy of the old ginseng and deer antler velvet that the eighth child brought to the mourning family, and let Ming'er let Yuan'er give it to the queen, which is also a thought." ”
Lan Niang should be busy.
Doudou secretly pursed his lips, His Royal Highness King Fu's good things to honor the Empress Dowager are not only precious, but also how rare their intentions are, do you really want to take them to make up for Pei Tingyu's vicious woman?
Such a black conscience, if you make up for it, you can pay it back!
The Empress Dowager didn't notice her abnormality, and pulled her to gossip a few more words.
It took almost half an hour for the group to arrive at Ci'an Palace, and Doudou and Lan Niang supported the Empress Dowager one by one.
Seeing Feng Yin return to the palace, the little eunuch guarding the palace gate hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The slave asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and I have seen the little princess." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled: "Today I am very diligent. ”
The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is waiting in the side hall, saying that she is afraid that you will be tired tonight, and she is not worried about your body, so she came to take a look." ”
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager looked very happy, and smiled at Doudou: "The mourning family is not wrong, your aunt is very thoughtful, but her temperament is a little old-fashioned and can't say good things, there are so many concubines in the palace, who will always think about the mourning family like this." ”
Doudou smiled but didn't answer.
People praise her aunt, what can she say as a niece?
What's more, who knows if there is any other meaning in the words of the Queen Mother.
It's really impossible to praise and depreciate, just close your mouth and smile.
Several people soon came to the door of the side hall.
Empress Pei was still dressed in the same costume as she had attended the birthday banquet before, and as soon as she saw the Empress Dowager, she made a big salute: "The Empress Dowager is well." ”
The Empress Dowager let go of Lan Niang's hand, helped her and said, "Hurry up, you yourself are also sick and calamitous, why are you tired of this trip." ”
Empress Pei glanced at Doudou on one side and said, "The concubine is young and fine, I'm afraid that tonight's birthday banquet will be too noisy and tiring you, although Yuan'er is a safe child, she is still too young after all, and the concubine simply came to Ci'an Palace to take a look." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's hard for you to remember, the mourning family is really a little tired." ”
Empress Pei hurriedly stepped forward and took the Empress Dowager's arm from Doudou's hand, and gently helped him to the Luohan bed on the side and sat down.
This came and went, and her sleeve swept past Doudou's side.
Hey? This taste......
When Empress Pei resigned from the power of the harem, the excuse she used was the recurrence of her old illness.
Since it was a recurrence of the old disease, and because the second prince had committed an accident, it was not good for her to use those colorful and fragrant fat powders.
With a yellow face, he said that he was really unwell, and in order to show weakness, his clothes were relatively simple and he didn't dare to use incense at all.
Doudou didn't deliberately smell anything, but her sense of smell was too sensitive.
Not only is his sense of smell sensitive, but his memory is also a little too good.
Just as she swiped by, she smelled a smell of déjà vu.
To be exact, it is a medicinal smell, a medicinal fragrance that is not only unpleasant but also very refreshing.
She had smelled this smell once before, and it was the smell of Chu, the wife of Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, who was petite and delicate, elegant and cold, and not very good-looking, but had very delicate and smooth skin.
Empress Pei has the smell of Chu on her body, and there can only be two explanations.
First, the Chu family gave the pill she prepared to Empress Pei to take.
Second, the two had a close contact not long ago.
Whether it is the former or the latter, it shows that the relationship between the two is really not simple.
It is rumored that Mrs. Yao, Chu is very low-key, almost never shows her face in front of people, does not associate with the wives of other noble and high-ranking officials, and can hide from various banquets.
But Mrs. Yao, who is so low-key, is so close to Pei Tingyu, the queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what does this mean?
And compared to the New Year's banquet, His Majesty's Wanshou Festival, and the Empress's Thousand Autumn Festival, the Empress Dowager's birthday does not seem to be the most important occasion, she is not even absent from those banquets, why did she appear alone at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?
And Empress Pei left the table early, didn't she go to meet with the Chu family in private?
She had doubted the Chu clan before, but she didn't pay too much attention to it.
Now it seems that there must be a big secret in this!
