Chapter Ninety-Seven: Night Talk in the Deep Palace

The wind was strong, the lightning was thundering, and the capital of Dazhou ushered in the biggest rainstorm of this summer.

The pouring rain not only took away the summer heat, but also seemed to sweep away the dullness that had been suppressed in people's hearts for months.

The whole palace is much simpler than usual because the mourning period of the emperor has not passed, of course, simplicity is not the same as simplicity, how can it not lose the royal atmosphere.

Queen Pei Tingyu's Fengxiang Palace is also not as brilliant as before, in the middle of the night when it was raining, she should have gone to bed long ago, but she still sat in front of the dressing table, and did not ask the palace people to serve, she took the jade comb and combed the green silk that almost fell to the ground.

"Queen Mother, this rain is pouring like a pour, and the Queen Mother will probably not be able to leave tomorrow. The other palace people in the dormitory were sent out, leaving only an old woman who was over fifty years old, and she slowly walked to the dressing table with the candlestick in her hand, and the candlelight instantly lit up the face of the person in the mirror.

"Mama Zheng, you see that Bengong's face is smaller, the corners of his eyes are beginning to have fine lines, and his complexion is even worse. "Since the death of the Emperor Taishang, she, the master of the harem, has not had a good rest for several months, crying, fasting, and arranging various matters in the palace...... It's no wonder that the complexion will be good!

Mama Zheng is her nurse, how could she not see the pride hidden in the eyes of Queen Pei under her full of complaints, she took the jade comb and gently massaged the scalp for the master, and said softly: "Niangniang is beautiful and beautiful, and it won't take a few days to recuperate." ”

Although Mama Zheng's words are inevitably a little watery, everyone likes to be obedient, and Queen Pei's face seems to be a lot brighter under the candlelight.

She is very similar to her brother Wuninghou Pei Tingyan. Pei Tingyan has a deep silhouette, a tough temperament, a long and strong figure, and is a famous beautiful man in Beijing. However, such a face is not the same thing when replaced by a woman.

Since she was a child, she has suffered a lot because of this "handsome" face and a lot taller than other girls of the same age.

When she was not out of the cabinet, she was the smartest among the girls in the entire Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, she was the smartest in all the girls, she was good at poetry and books, she learned the rules and learned to be in charge, and the other sisters were still in a state of ignorance, she could have been in charge of it a long time ago.

But so what, her good grandmother, the old lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, still only cares about those soft-looking sisters, and when she sees her like this, she can't remember that she also needs to feel distressed.

Speaking of Tianzi Guose, although she doesn't want to admit it, the pair of twin sisters of the Gu family are the real peerless beauty, whether it is the arrogant Gu Chao or the graceful Gu Xi, they can always be praised by everyone lightly.

Her appearance that is neither beautiful nor dignified is the most unlikable to her husband, just look at Princess Yongfu, isn't it because she has such heroic eyebrows and eyes, so she can't get the love of the concubine?

But people have a good life, they don't need to be an ordinary woman who serves in Israel at all, with such a big power in their hands, what does it matter if they like it or not!

Fortunately, with the death of the Emperor Taishang, the unhappiness of the past will become history.

The entire Great Zhou is truly in the hands of her husband Junyu Wenzhao, whether it is the Gu sisters who are alluring the country or the powerful Princess Yongfu, they will all be prostrate at the feet of her, the mother of a country!

"Heng'er interceded for the eldest prince again today?" she asked casually as she carefully repaired her too thick eyebrows with an eyebrow trimmer.

Mama Zheng hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the second prince has always been measured, so that His Majesty feels that he does not regard himself as a prince, and it is always good to be a brother and a brother." ”

"The truth that there is no father and son in the heavenly family is clearer than anyone else, I am afraid that Heng'er is too young and eager to show his father, and if he is too late, he will not like it. "Yuwen Zhao has been on the throne for more than a year, and she has never mentioned the matter of canonizing the crown prince, although she is not in a hurry, but the sluts of Concubine De and Concubine Xian are not vegetarians, it is difficult to guarantee when she will coax His Majesty to like it, and the emperor should not make any small moves at this time.

"Niang Niang is wise, the Empress Dowager will ...... tomorrow" Mama Zheng saw that she seemed to be in a good mood, and repeated what she had just said.

"I've endured it all these years, and I don't care about one more day and a half, it's her old man who said that Xinggong Qingjing wants to live in the past for a while, and even His Majesty can't stop it, let alone the main palace?"

What she doesn't like the most is this kind of curved eyebrow shape, but who let Yuwen Zhao deviate from this mouthful, even Concubine De's face, which is rounder than the full moon, has two willow leaf curved eyebrows, and she wants to vomit when she sees it.

The saddest thing is that after spitting up, she has to trim her eyebrows like this, which is enough!

"Mama, tomorrow you will personally go to the Hou Mansion to bring Xinxin into the palace, the palace has snubbed her in the past few months, let her live in the palace for a while. A kind smile appeared on Empress Pei's face, and she looked a little more feminine.

"Yes, sis. Mama Zheng's mouth responded, but the flesh on her cheeks trembled almost imperceptibly, is it really suitable for the little county lord to live in the palace at this time......?

Empress Pei stroked the jade bracelet on her hand and said with a smile: "Xinxin is a beautiful girl in the sky, she doesn't need to look at people's faces like I used to, as long as she likes it, whether it is a person or an object, this palace will definitely be satisfied with her, so that she will be carefree for the rest of her life." ”

"Niangniang, the little prince has already left the palace, and the little lord can't see him even if he enters the palace. "There are too many powerful people in Beijing, and many powerful people even have to give a little bit of thin noodles, and the little county lord doesn't know how to live in the palace, and it is easy to bring unnecessary trouble to the queen.

"Huo Xiaowang was raised too much by the emperor, and he has never seen him come to visit him once in the past few years when he returned to Beijing, and he will inevitably be angry when he sees him, anyway, they are still young, let's talk about it in a few years. A hint of annoyance flashed in Empress Pei's eyes.

"In this case, why does the mother have to let Princess Yongfu fulfill the agreement with Mrs. Hou, I am afraid that the little princess will marry the little prince in the future, I am afraid that it will ......" Aside from the trouble that the little princess may bring to the queen's mother, Mama Zheng still feels a little distressed about her in her heart.

Empress Pei snorted coldly and said: "Mama Zheng, you are so bold! You know everything in your heart back then, and the stakes have been told to you more than once, and this kind of foolish words are the last time I want to hear them from your mouth......!"

"It's the old slave who is confused, and Xie Niangniang is not punished. "Mama Zheng has been in the palace smoothly in the past few years, not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs, that is, those little masters of the mother and mother saw her and respectfully called "Mama", and the days have been long and the head is big, and today she is pointing fingers in front of the master, at this time she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a puff, and her back was all soaked.
