199 Hypocrisy and Grievance
Emperor Kang Ci asked.
Ling Xiang did not sit down, and replied: "The generals have just left the East Palace, and they have been making trouble for a day, and His Highness thinks that he is tired, and he should bathe in the apse." ”
Emperor Kang Ci and Concubine Guifei hurriedly smiled: "What are you doing standing? It's rare for three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to talk, just sit down." ”
Ling Xiang Xie En sat down, thinking that the imperial concubine was the widow of the first emperor, that is, the crown prince was on the throne, and she would also be respected, but it was not easy to offend.
Mrs. Xing Guotai sat on the rosewood Taishi chair below, took the tea handed by Gong E, and then asked, "Did the prince make the ignorant courtiers angry?"
She asked this, so Ling Makeup couldn't answer, thought about it, and had to nod.
"Before the first lunar month passed, such a big thing happened...... You are alone, and you are more comforted. Mrs. Xing Guotai had other things to say, but when she saw that the prince had not appeared, she kept silent and drank tea, but her eyes fell on Xiao Xiahou.
Xiao Xia Hou still looked at her and didn't speak.
Mrs. Xing Guotai had no choice but to say again: "You might as well go and inform the prince personally, the imperial concubine and the queen want to see him, he is an old man, and he is always relieved to take a look." ”
Ling Xiang responded, and said to Wei Jin: "You go to Hulu Pool to say hello to Gonggong He, and ask him to urge His Highness." ”
Wei Jin was about to go when he received the order, but Xiao Xiahou hurriedly called: "No need to urge, when the prince comes out, he will come to see him." ”
smiled at Ling Makeup again: "There is nothing left and right, and it is also excellent to have makeup to talk with." ”
Ling Xiang was furious by her successive nicknames, and she was a little on pins and needles.
Xiao Xia asked again: "I heard that Zhan Shiling Zuocheng was not lightly injured, how is it now?
"The mother was timid, and had not yet told me that my father had two sons watching over him, and it should be fine. ”
When Xiao Xia heard this, she was really sad in her heart, and even a small Ling Dongcheng was only beaten, and the others were unharmed, but the imperial party broke Shangshu's left and right servants, the Ministry of Works, the squire, the three senior doctors, and even the Shenji Battalion.
Not to mention this time. The emperor was still in panic in the palace, and convened the Hanlin scholars to discuss how to issue an edict to clear the stigma of the crown prince......
Emperor Kangci said: "The prince is sensitive, martial by nature, and gentle by nature. If you are serving by the prince's side, if you see something wrong, you should try to understand it, which is in line with the virtue of the concubine. ”
"The concubine is saved. Ling Xiang got up and replied, thinking that the imperial concubine clearly asked her to persuade the prince. Isn't it secretly accusing the prince of doing something inappropriate? This is to make a stand, that is, the imperial concubine is two generations higher, and he can't show weakness, and then he said:
His Royal Highness said that although the generals were reckless, there was no doubt that they were loyal and patriotic. ”
Emperor Kang Ci's concubine was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "The mourning family is not criticizing their loyalty. ”
Ling Xiang was indifferent, the weak in the court, the royal identity, the most illusory thing, was given today. is the most noble person, and if she is abolished tomorrow, she will be a prisoner, and since she has already had the intention of persuading the prince to seize the throne, she will no longer bow down and be small.
The queen had come to find the prince to say good things to appease, how could she offend the number one celebrity in the East Palace? Xiao Xiahou saw that her expression was not very respectful, and she hurriedly said: "That's natural, that's natural, I heard that the emperor has set up a military governor's court, and His Majesty often praises her in the palace." If the unhealthy trend of the Manchu Dynasty is not ruthlessly braked, the Military Governor will be able to make the government clear and the officials honest. ”
It's really like not crying when you don't see the coffin. Ling Xiang sighed in his heart, when did he see the queen so low-voiced?
Mrs. Xing Guotai was listening, and kept holding the Buddhist beads in her hand, and then she showed a look of unbearability, "I heard that many people died today, and the old body wants to do a few rituals for the souls of the dead in the Kaishan Temple outside the city." Transcend the undead to quench the spirit of injustice. ”
Ling Xiang nodded and said, "The old lady is merciful." ”
Empress Xiao Xia waved her hand to the palace maids, and a row of palace maids came up with various boxes.
Ling Makeup thought to himself, he came to give this set again, but it was also cheesy, under the whole world, it was not the king's land, if the prince really wanted to replace him, why should you give it.
"James Ling Zuocheng is innocently guilty, these are all good medicines that I ordered someone to find from the treasury and give him healing. ”
Ling Makeup didn't shirk either, and thanked him for being good.
Mrs. Xing Guotai's face was still gloomy, and when she saw Xiao Xiahou's posture so low, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her "daughter". After the prince entered Beijing, he had special respect for her, and he had never only performed family rituals, and at this time he felt that he should also beat this good di, so as not to become more and more ignorant of the sky and the earth.
"I heard that the prince said a few days ago that his biological mother was dead, which was originally good, the **** queen died in childbirth during childbirth, and exchanged a life for a child's life, which is really respectable. However, today's middle palace is also his mother, who was nurtured and cared for when he was young, not to mention his own child, you should persuade more, and don't hurt the heart of the mother. ”
Ling Xiangjing was the prince's maternal grandmother, and she was originally treated differently from others in her heart, but at this time, listening to her words that were indiscriminate, she also admired Xiao Xiahou's methods, and coaxed the old lady to forget her own daughter, not knowing that these people wanted to kill her relatives in their hearts, and only smiled slightly as if they should be perfunctory.
I don't know that Mrs. Xing Guotai is not easy to fool, so she lowered her face and said: "Liangdi must think that the old woman's words are not listened to, just saying that he killed the prisoner of the country today, he shouldn't ...... it."
She said a lot, and the concubine of Emperor Kangci smiled coquettishly: "What is it worth? The scholarly spirit is being used, but it is just a few stunned young people who died in vain, the emperor has already announced the intention of the Chinese book, and today's disaster must be caused by the instigation of the remnants of the abolished emperor, dare to make trouble in the East Palace, and die innocent!"
Look at this favor sold, it is called thorough. Ling Xiang felt for no reason that Emperor Kangci's concubine and the emperor were the best friends, and Mrs. Xing Guotai was just being dragged into a pose, and she couldn't see the form at all.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xing Guo listened to the words of Emperor Kang Ci's concubine, and couldn't refute it, but her face became even more ugly, and she recited the Buddha and stopped talking.
This Mrs. Xing Guotai is not Xiao Xiahou's biological mother, it is said that Xiao Xiahou was just a concubine at the beginning, just because she was raised in her name, she was regarded as a concubine. Ling Xiang thought that this old woman was really charitable, otherwise how could she raise other people's children to be so oily and moist?
Several people sat down again, Gong E replaced the cold tea, and served new tea, but the prince never appeared.
Empress Xiao Xia glanced at the concubine of Emperor Kangci, and couldn't figure out what the prince meant, so she didn't dare to leave.
Emperor Kangci looked back at Xiao Xiahou, shook her head, and silent words flowed silently between the two.
It seems that there is still room for maneuver, Xiao Xia Hou exhaled, squeezed out a slight smile and said: "There is such a big thing today, there must be many things to deal with in the East Palace, if you need help, send someone to Kunhe Palace to say, the queen mother will not stand idly by." ”
Ling Makeup still got up softly and thanked her.
Mrs. Xing Guotai was the first to stand up: "Let's go, juniors, why worry about my half-cut old woman." (To be continued.) )
