Chapter 21: Contradictions
was about to go back, but a voice came from behind him: "The official beauty stays." Seeing that Guanguan hadn't left yet, Mama Su hurriedly greeted her, "The Queen Mother is invited." ”
Although Guan Guan was puzzled, he also guessed that today's matter would not be revealed, so he asked Fang Rou not to wait for her to go back first, and went with Mama Su by herself.
At this time, there was not only the Queen Mother in Changle Palace, but also Chu Tianze, who had just come to ask for peace in the morning.
Guan Guan was slightly stunned when he saw Ming Huang's figure, and blessed the two of them: "The emperor is Sheng'an, and the queen mother is Jin'an." ”
Chu Tianze was puzzled that Guan Guan was summoned to Changle Palace by the Queen Mother, and tightened his eyebrows. was about to call "Ping", but the Queen Mother stopped her softly, Chu Tianze was a little more curious, didn't this official offend the Queen Mother?
Seeing that the emperor and the queen mother did not shout for a long time, Guanguan did not dare to move, and only maintained this blessed posture. After waiting for a long time, my hands and feet were a little sore, and I had no choice but to hold on.
Finally, the Queen Mother spoke, but she was facing Mama Su: "What do you think of this posture?"
Mama Su raised her eyes and glanced at Guanguan: "Back to the Queen Mother, the posture and actions of the official beauty to ask for peace are very appropriate, I am afraid that many old people in the palace are not enough." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said: "Although this girl is young, she knows how to be polite and polite, and her temperament is also calm, not bad, get up." ”
Guan Guan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and slowly straightened up his already sour body and said, "Emperor Xie, Empress Dowager Xie." Raising his eyes, he was facing Chu Tianze coldly with an inquiring gaze, and his heart sank.
But I heard the Queen Mother say again: "The mourning family has always had clear rewards and punishments here. You are the only one who meditates from beginning to end, and all the mourners who should be punished have been punished, but you have not been rewarded, what reward do you ask for?"
Chu Tianze's undisguised gaze fell coldly on Guan Guan, who was stared at uncomfortably, and replied thoughtfully: "The concubine just did what she should do, and she didn't dare to ask for rewards." ”
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction: "Well, it's a sensible one." He turned his head sideways and gestured to Mama Su. Mama Su was expected to hold a brocade box and hand it to Guanguan.
"Open it and take a look. The Queen Mother smiled kindly.
Guan Guan gently opened the box, only to see a clear and smooth white hosta lying horizontally inside, at a glance, he knew that it was an extremely rare thing, and said busily: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
"The mourning family is not rewarded for 'meditation', just for the three words of 'what you should do', you should also be rewarded, accept it. ”
After hesitating for a while, Guan Guan said, "Thank you for the reward of the Empress Dowager." ”
Chu Tianze watched this scene quietly and didn't say a word. Hmph, the two of them smell the same.
The Queen Mother looked at Guanguan and was very pleased. Then he glanced behind Chu Tianze, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xuan girl, you have been in the palace for some years, you are not better than this newcomer, you can learn more in the future, and serve by the emperor's side, but you can't be sloppy!"
When Guan Guan heard this, he curiously wanted to look up at this female official who had heard of her name several times and was "valued" by the emperor, but because the queen mother praised her, how dare she break the rules at this time, so she had to endure it.
Fu Xuan listened to the mixed feelings in his heart, bowed his head and replied: "Follow the teachings of the Queen Mother, the slaves and maids will learn the rules well in the future and serve the emperor well." ”
"I think Ah Xuan is just right like this, those who abide by the old rules all day long, aren't they too rigid and boring?" Chu Tianze glanced at Guan Guan deeply, got up and didn't turn back to the Queen Mother, "I still have something to do, I'll go back first." ”
Although the Queen Mother had long been accustomed to the emperor's indifference to her, she finally sighed sadly.
Guan Guan listened to the obvious disgust in Chu Tianze's tone, as well as the deep mockery in his eyes before leaving, and his heart hurt slightly. It also confirmed two things: the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is indeed not good, and the girl Xuan is indeed guilty.
"Ah Xuan, you don't have to pay too much attention to the Queen Mother's words. Chu Tianze saw Fu Xuan's heavy face and said with relief.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid just don't understand, over the years, the slave and maid have changed so much, why is the Queen Mother still picky everywhere?" Fu Xuan was extremely aggrieved.
"Maybe I shouldn't have let you into the palace back then. Chu Tianze's words contained guilt.
"No, Your Majesty, this is the wisest decision Ah Xuan has made in his life. Fu Xuanyang smiled at Chu Tianze.
In the past seven years, although I have tasted all kinds of sadness, I know that it is enough to be by your side. I can't imagine what it would be like if I hadn't entered the palace at the beginning. I'm afraid that I have already married a famous son I don't like, or, will you marry me into the palace?" Fu Xuan looked at Chu Tianze and thought sadly.
Chu Tianze smiled helplessly and touched Fu Xuan's head: "Silly girl, I should have helped you find a good husband." ”
"Your Majesty, that official beauty seems to be very valued by the Queen Mother. Fu Xuan hurriedly diverted the topic. Chu Tianze has talked to her about this many times over the years, and Fu Xuan went from being sad at the beginning to being silent to changing the topic as soon as he mentioned it later.
Such a rigid and conservative temperament naturally pleases her. Chu Tianze snorted coldly. Then he turned back to the original topic, "Ah Xuan, you don't need to run away, not only me, but also Archer mentioned it to me. I can't keep you by my side for the rest of my life, and women still have to have a good home after all. ”
Fu Xuan's heart was sad, Your Majesty, in fact, there has always been a way to get the best of both worlds, I can have a home and I can always be by your side, but you have never thought about it for so many years.
"Your Majesty, Lin Yan is coming back soon, right?" Fu Xuan changed the topic again.
Chu Tianze also had no choice but to take her: "It will take some time." ”
When the two were speechless, Luo Lu happened to hurry over: "The slave sees the emperor." Your Majesty, Fu Gongzi asked to see him. ”
Chu Tianze was very puzzled, it stands to reason that Mrs. Fu Che had just given birth to a child, he should be at home with him, and he also approved his leave, what are he in a hurry to enter the palace now. I'm afraid there are 100,000 urgent events.
Chu Tianze didn't think much about it, and went towards the Qianqing Palace. Walking, he asked Rode, "Did he say anything?"
"Back to the emperor, Fu Gongzi only said that there was an urgent matter, and the slave looked at his face and was afraid that it was a big deal, so he didn't dare to delay, so he asked Gongzi to wait in the Qianqing Palace, and hurried to invite the emperor. ”
In the Qianqing Palace, Fu Che was wearing a green shirt and standing on one side with his hands behind his back. The morning light that came in through the temple door sprinkled all around him, as if he was left alone. Only frowned slightly, showing his love at the moment.
"Minions/slaves see the emperor. The voices of a group of palace people broke the silence of the Qianqing Palace.
Chu Tianze's gaze swept into the hall and walked straight in the direction of Fu Che.
"The minister sees the emperor. Fu Che heard the movement and turned to bow to the bright yellow figure.
Chu Tianze knew that Fu Che had something important to do, so he glanced at Luo Lu. Luo Lu understood and opened the palace people in the palace.
"What happened. Chu Tianze went straight to the point.
Fu Che looked stern, took out a secret letter from his wide sleeve, and solemnly handed it to Chu Tianze.
