207. Upside down

The time to enter the palace is often early, and there are obviously other foreign women in Ci'an Palace, Chanyi followed Mrs. Xia and Xie Shi quietly in the side hall of Ci'an Palace waiting for the queen mother to summon.

Ci'an Palace is completely renovated according to the preferences of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was born in the Qinghe Zhu family, the family is a famous scholarly family, from the ornaments and decorations on the main hall, you can see that everywhere is introverted, calm and rich, but it makes people feel comfortable.

Just as they were looking, someone from the palace came and led them into the main hall.

In the main hall, the queen mother and the queen sat on the main seat, and Concubine Zhuang stood beside the queen mother.

This is the first time Chanyi has entered the palace since her rebirth, in the previous life, she followed Mrs. Cheng Bohou and Mrs. Shizi into the palace a few times, and saw Concubine Zhuang a few times, after the death of the queen, the harem was respected by Concubine Zhuang's aunt, and her aunt always took more care of her.

At this time, Concubine Zhuang was nearly thirty years old, but she was very well maintained, with a fair complexion, long eyebrows and sideburns, and a soft expression in her eyes, especially when she was facing Xie and Chanyi, there was always a smile in her eyes.

Now that she sees Aunt Zhuang again, she has a bit of closeness in her bones.

Chanyi knelt down and saluted, singing respectful words in her mouth, and heard the queen mother smile and say, "Good boy, get up quickly." ”

The Queen Mother beckoned to Chanyi to come over, and she stepped forward obediently, and saw the Queen Mother looking at her, as if looking at her wounds, and her neck was wrapped in gauze, and she couldn't see anything.

The Queen Mother smiled and said angrily: "You kid is really bold, aren't you afraid to lose your own life?"

Chanyi said respectfully: "The courtier was so scared at the time, I didn't expect a lot, the palms of the hands holding the dagger were sweaty, and both legs were scared and weak, and later when the doctor bandaged the wound, I felt that it hurt badly." ”

The queen sneered coldly on the side, and as soon as she spoke, she was not angry: "If you are afraid, you dare to cut your own neck, if you are not afraid, shouldn't you cut someone else's neck?"

Chanyi shrank back timidly, not daring to answer.

The queen and the queen mother have been at odds for many years, but the queen does not dare to show the face of the queen mother on the bright face.

The queen mother immediately sank her face and explained to Chanyi: "The queen is right, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, if you want to cut someone else's neck, don't be afraid, there is an imperial aunt and grandmother to call the shots for you." ”

The queen mother has always disliked the queen's daughter-in-law who doesn't know the general situation, plus she is close to Chanyi, Chanyi's temperament is so strong, she voted for her temperament, and immediately treated her as her own junior.

Concubine Zhuang smiled on the side: "Look at what the queen mother said, once is thrilling enough, and a few more times, how can Sister Chan be so lucky every time." ”

Concubine Zhuang pulled this matter back, and the people from Xia Mansion entered the palace just to ask for an explanation, how could they distort the words.

The queen couldn't hold back her displeasure, looked at the Duchess of Ning Guo on the side, and reminded: "Didn't Mrs. just now say that there is another hidden truth in this matter? While the people of the Xia family are here, explain things clearly, whether it is a misunderstanding or an accident, you must always make it clear to the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother can call the shots for you." ”

The queen insisted on moving things closer to misunderstandings and accidents, Chan Yi only felt funny, thinking that the previous queen hanged herself in Chaofeng Palace three years later, she couldn't help but have a trace of sympathy for her in her heart.

Duchess Ning Guo glanced at the Queen Mother, lowered her head, and said angrily: "Originally, I thought that the second son was presumptuous, so I would send some heavy gifts to Xia Mansion to make amends, but who would have thought that this was not the case, but there was another hidden ......."

She said in a heavy voice, "After Mrs. Xia and Miss Xia went back that day, I beat the second son hard, and then I asked out, where did he take a fancy to Miss Xia, but because he saw Miss Xia and Yi'er have private dealings, and he was afraid that his brother would do something harmful to the family, so he would block Miss Xia on the road, he said that he asked Miss Xia for an object at that time, and he just wanted to warn Miss Xia not to pester Yi'er in the future, who knew that Miss Xia actually brought a dagger with him......"

Hearing this, Old Madam Xia couldn't help frowning.

Xie Shi looked at Duchess Ning Guo even more dumbfounded, the black one could be reversed into white, the mouth of the Duchess Ning Guo was really too sharp.

The queen was furious, pointed at Chan Yi and scolded: "But she is really a fierce woman, such a watery Yang Hua hooks up three and four, even the queen mother dares to be deceived, give me a slap in her mouth!"

Immediately behind him, two palace people stepped forward to catch Chanyi.

"Presumptuous!" the queen mother said angrily, "The queen doesn't even pay attention to the mourning family, what is she going to do in the mourning family's palace?"

The queen is used to being dictatorial in the harem, although she has always been fighting with Concubine Zhuang, but she has a rational word, and she has always not taken anyone in her eyes.

She looked at the unpretentious look on the queen mother's face, and thought that Dayan put filial piety first, if the queen mother was dissatisfied with her, and said something to the emperor, the emperor would definitely punish herself, and hurriedly said: "The concubine will be a little anxious when she sees that no one is fooling the queen mother like this, don't be angry." ”

The queen mother sneered: "Is it foolish, the mourning family will distinguish that the queen is better to sit aside and be restless, otherwise the mourning family will think that the queen has other plans......"

The queen was made as pale as earth by the queen mother's words, and she didn't dare to say more, just for fear of being burned.

Concubine Zhuang stared coldly at Duchess Ning Guo, "Madame said this, but there must be evidence, otherwise empty words can be regarded as slander, Madame should know what kind of punishment our Dayan punishes for the crime of defamation." ”

Duchess Ning Guo almost laughed out loud in her heart, of course she had the evidence, otherwise she wouldn't dare to say such a thing with red lips and white teeth, she hurriedly said: "The concubine naturally has evidence, so she dares to tell it, otherwise, how can the concubine have the face to see the queen mother and the queen?"

"A few days ago in Xiliuying in the western suburbs, Yi'er got acquainted with a few Langjun of the Xia family, and Miss Xia became entangled with Yi'er, at the Xie family's birthday banquet, Manman didn't know where to learn about it, and he went to question Miss Xia in a daze, and then it became like that......"

Duchess Ning Guo wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief as she spoke, the corners of her eyes were red, and she looked very sad, she choked a few times and said: "Later, the concubine held a banquet at home and invited Mrs. Xia to come, but I didn't expect Miss Xia to take advantage of the change of clothes to give the close-fitting sweat towel to Yi'er, Yi'er, this child is also a ghost, so he took it so rashly, if it wasn't for the second son, I would ask Yi'er, I'm afraid I'm still in the dark." ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a sweat towel from her bosom.

The big red sweat towel is embroidered with gold silk thread with cloud patterns, and the edges are embroidered with silver thread, which is very gorgeous.

Duchess Ning Guo raised her head, stared at Chan Yi with those painful eyes, and asked coldly, "Miss Xia, look at it, is this the sweat towel you embroidered!"

The Empress Dowager frowned, she didn't expect things to change like this, her eyes swept down, only to see Old Madam Xia staring at Duchess Ning Guo with an angry face, the hand in her sleeve clenched into a fist, Xie Shi was even more surprised, looking at Duchess Ning Guo's eyes full of obscurity.

And Xia Chanyi seemed to be just a little surprised, reached out and took the sweat towel, took a closer look, and raised her eyes to look at Duchess Ning Guo: "I embroidered it, I don't know how Madame got this sweat towel?"

Duchess Ning Guo almost wanted to laugh, she admitted it, and she dared to ask how she got it, could it be so forgetful at such a young age?

Duchess Ning Guo sneered: "What you gave Yi'er, did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

Chan Yi had a strange look on her face, looked at Xie and Mrs. Xia, and then looked at the Queen Mother with an unknown face, her eyes were full of doubts, and she asked again: "Did the prince himself say that I gave this sweat towel to the prince?"

"Could it be that Yi'er will still wronged you?" Duchess Ning Guo stared at Chanyi viciously, kneeling down in front of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the concubine, Miss Xia admitted that she embroidered it, she misbehaved and did such a thing, and in the end she wanted to blame our family, but the second son of my family was so young to be wronged like this......"

The sad and sad look did not have the style of a family lady at all, and the queen mother frowned in disgust.

"You're enough, what are you crying about!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but scold angrily, then turned her head and asked, "What's going on with this sweat towel?"

When the queen saw this, her heart lit up, and she said that it was impossible for the Duchess of Ning Guo to be so brave and unscrupulous, and she said: "Queen Mother, this matter is already very clear, the concubine of the Xia family is incorruptible and shameful, and she pesters Gu Shizi, and she also wants to frame Gu Ergongzi viciously, such a woman should be punished well, otherwise our Dayan's atmosphere will be damaged by such a woman!"

Chanyi listened to the queen's words, her face was full of grievances, she bit her mouth tightly, and her eyes were covered with a layer of water.

Could it be that this is really the case? Concubine Zhuang was a little anxious, and eagerly repeated the words of the Queen Mother, "Why don't you tell me what's going on?"

Xie Shi came back to his senses and frowned: "I don't know how to talk about this matter, although the sweat towel is indeed embroidered by our sister, but it ......"

The queen heard Xie Shi say that the sweat towel was indeed embroidered by Xia Chanyi, and she was afraid that she would excuse Xia Chanyi, so she screamed: "You let her say it herself, why did the sweat towel get into Gu Shizi's hands!"

Chanyi whispered, kowtowed to the queen mother, raised her head, looked at the queen mother and said: "This sweat towel was originally embroidered by my mother to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, because my mother had a headache and was sick in those days, I took it to embroider a few stitches, who would have thought, it has not been embroidered, this sweat towel is gone, how to find it I have not found, because this I also sent several maids in the yard, I thought that their hands and feet were not clean, but I didn't expect to see this sweat towel here, how did it get to the hands of the prince, I don't know ......"

Duchess Ning Guo just wanted to sneer in her heart, such an excuse could be found, she was really sharp-tongued, she said coldly: "Miss Xia is so eloquent, but who can prove what you say?"
