Xu Lian never thought that she would also face the wind, frost and sword, after all, she traveled through a lifetime, became the queen of a country, and gave birth to the eldest son, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are still few people who dare to show their teeth with her, in the past, the queen mother was one, and the mother-in-law had nothing to say, but now the deceased is respected, and the law body is lying down, and all the ideas are for her to take, only to find that some things are really not so easy.
For example, Chun Tao came to ask her: "The Queen Mother's Dharma Body can't be kept like this, this day is getting hot day by day, Niang Niang has to have an idea." ”
Xu Lian blushed, is she worried too, she knows that the corpse will rot soon, but the premise is that there must be a suitable excuse to move out of the palace, otherwise it will be too eye-catching, the queen mother's prestige in the court is not small, and it will be a storm if the matter is not handled well.
This one was annoying enough, and Yulu came to report again: "Princess Su came in with a sign and wanted to visit the Queen Mother." ”
Xu Lian sneered: "I haven't seen her so close to her mother on weekdays." ”
Chun Tao took the half-written note from Xu Lian and persuaded: "It's not the time to hide secrets in the palace, but now it's Princess Su, and Ming'er, a clan noblewoman, came to see again, blocked once, can't stop it again, it must be able to do it once and for all." ”
Xu Lian thought about it and asked Aunt Fang to come.
After the queen mother went, Aunt Fang seemed to be ten years old, the texture of the corners of her eyes was getting deeper, she came in and knelt down to worship, Chun Tao helped, Xu Lian gave the seat and said softly: "Aunt doesn't have to be polite, as soon as the queen mother goes, everything is messy, the palace is young, I just hope to ask my aunt for an idea." ”
Aunt Fang still followed the original rules, moved her waist and sat on only one-third of the stool, and replied: "Niangniang has tormented the old slave, but there is an order, the old slave dare not obey." ”
"The queen mother loves the Buddha on weekdays, and if she goes out of the palace to worship the Buddha in Qingning Temple, it is also a talk, and it is not easy to attract people's attention."
"What the mother said is very true."
Xu Lian smiled, and felt a little guilty, an old man like Aunt Fang, who had served the Queen Mother for half her life, should have been blessed to return to her hometown to be raised, "The queen mother goes, my aunt may have to go to take care of it, this is ......"
Aunt Fang took over and said: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry about the old slave, it is the duty of the old slave to share the worries of the master, and the old slave has served the queen mother all her life, and she is reluctant to leave, Qingning Temple is a clean place, and the old slave is willing to go." ”
Xu Lian was satisfied, and said sincerely: "Auntie, rest assured, the relatives in my hometown will take care of it." "Promising a lifetime of glory is the only promise she can give.
Aunt Fang smiled and sighed, got up from the stool and knelt down and said: "Thank you Niangniang for your kindness, but you don't have to, the flood in Yanping for four years, the relatives in the old slave's hometown have already gone clean, and now they are all distant relatives of their own clan, looking at the little thin noodles that the queen mother gave to the old slave pasted up, there is really no need for the mother to bother for them, I only hope that the mother and the eldest prince can be well, and the old slave is willing to pray for the mother every day in Qingning Temple." ”
Xu Lian's brows furrowed, she stood up and wanted to help Aunt Fang up, but Aunt Fang kowtowed and got up and went out.
Xu Lian couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she couldn't be sad, she just felt a little cool, Yulu listened to the words of the little palace maid and hesitated slightly, and stepped forward and said: "Ning Guifei went to the small Buddha hall to chant according to the Empress Dowager's decree every day, and the slave maid sent someone to say that she would be exempted from this punishment, but she didn't expect that Ning Guifei would chant in her palace instead, and wept day and night. ”
Xu Lian's heart was a little blocked: "She can't stop a little, Her Majesty the Queen Mother and the palace are alive, who is she crying about." “
Xu Lian's temper was out, Yulu lowered her head and didn't dare to say more, Xu Lian adjusted her emotions, and felt that she couldn't block herself for others: "That's it, let the imperial doctor not have to go, you send someone to remind her of her rules." “
Yulu then said: "What Niangniang said is that there are ways in the palace to make people silent. ”
This is not the first time that steamed buns have been talking endlessly, Xu Lian glanced at her, and still said: "Don't go too far, you have to get by on the surface." ”
One of the queen mother's wishes was completed in this way, Xu Lian picked a time, invited the clan ladies and ladies into the palace, and said something openly and secretly, should be beaten, although there is a discussion of this matter, with the queen mother Feng driving to Qingning Temple, and the company of Aunt Fang, who is waiting closely, the discussion has gradually gone down, except for a few people who are very strong to put on the score of the elders.
Princess Su is one, King Su is the cousin of the first emperor, the two dynasties are not reused, but the generation is not small, Princess Su did not dare to say more in front of the queen mother in the past all piled up to her, Xu Lian is not very annoying, but also has to pay attention, Emperor Xi and Emperor are not there, she is alone with her son, and she must take care of the attitude of the clan.
It's the same on this day, Xu Lian smiled and knocked her teeth, Princess Su sat down, and the truth came one by one, and the almighty opening sentence was: "Niangniang is not strange, the concubine has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
I don't know if I should say it, then don't say it, you can die if you hold it back.
Xu Lian smiled and said, "Where does Auntie speak, there is no reason not to say it." ”
Princess Su took a handkerchief and nodded her chin, and prepared for the tirade: "This Queen Mother's belief in Buddhism is a benevolent heart of her old man, but Qingning Temple is remote, and the days of worshiping Buddha must be hard. ”
"Auntie means to let the palace go and invite the queen mother back?"
"Exactly." Princess Su said happily: "Your Majesty is fighting on the front line, and I don't want the Queen Mother to work so hard...... The murder of the concubines in the palace has just passed, and it is not good to hear this word if it spreads too much, why don't you persuade the queen mother to show her filial piety, so that the rumors can be self-defeating. ”
Nothing else, Princess Su took Xi and the emperor to press her, and I don't know who gave her face, Xu Lian's face sank: "I don't know where the rumors have polluted Princess Su's ears, and those who confuse the public should be killed." ”
This face shook fiercely, and the joy on Princess Su's face also cracked, and Xu Lian said again: "Your Majesty's intentions, Princess Su is so clear, it is not overnight to think about the holy will." ”
This sentence smashed Princess Su and knelt down directly to ask for guilt: "The concubine lost her words, and asked the mother to forgive her sins." ”
"It's good for the aunt to have the heart to share the worries of the palace, this heart is received by the palace, but the palace is in the place, and you need to think twice before acting, the queen mother is sincere in her heart, how can she care about eating and wearing, so this is the first time this palace has heard it today, and I don't want to hear similar words in the future, my aunt is so virtuous and intelligent, I should understand."
Princess Su scolded in her heart, and then quit after confessing her guilt.
Throwing her face once, Xu Lian had a few days of pure life, Xu Lian couldn't figure out that this Su Wang couple had a good idle and rich life, but they had nothing to do with her to find any fun, so they sent someone to send a message to Aunt Fang, and sent the guards and Yulu who brought her jade pendant to the past, if someone really wants to see her, they can town, of course, they can only be in a moment's urgency, if someone in the town wants to fight with her, I am afraid that it will not be able to cover it.
It's up to anyone to risk offending her to death.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lian calculated everything, but she didn't expect such a person to dare to do such a thing.
The Queen Mother's hometown is not very peaceful recently, it is rumored that there is a ghost to haunt you, many people are disturbed and not peaceful, some people see the ghost fire drifting to the old house of the Wang family at night, the day said with everyone, it happened that a cloth master listened, and the public counted a hexagram, everyone heard the color change, and then the news that the Queen Mother had passed away slowly spread, the rumors scattered, and finally spread to Beijing.
The people love to spread this kind of fiction and reality, but there is no Internet and Weibo, the news can spread so far and so fast, saying that no one is behind the scenes Xu Lian doesn't believe it, this is the same as the embarrassment of individual clans against her, there are indeed people who want to use the queen mother's death to hit her, just wait for her to investigate, someone in Chongming Hall will come to pass the word, and there is something important to ask her to discuss.
Chongming Hall is the place where the cabinet deliberates, Emperor Xihe is not there, and all matters in the court are discussed and carried out by several important ministers appointed by him.
Xu Lian was shocked when she heard the news, could it be that the sixth department also had people from the other side, and they wanted to use this to put pressure on her? Now she has no one to ask, and she looks even more weak when she avoids it, so she has to wear makeup and dress up, and go in style.
Out of etiquette, Xu Lian came out of the inner hall, the bead curtain was covered, and several ministers saw the salute together, Xu Lian still had a heart, does this feel like the legendary curtain to listen to politics?
Looking out through the curtain, except for Shen Di, all of them were fresh faces, Xu Lian called up, holding her breath and waiting for who made the first bird, and spoke to her first, she had already thought about it, whoever mentioned the Queen Mother, she would pretend to be stupid, and if she mentioned it again, she would lose her temper, saying that it was a folk rumor, and she didn't believe it, but after waiting for a while, no one spoke, but the palace people who were waiting for it all withdrew, the atmosphere was a little quiet, Xu Lian swallowed her saliva a little cowardly.
Several people glanced at each other, and finally the oldest one stepped forward and arched his hand: "Niangniang, the battle ahead is different." ”
Xu Lian didn't hear it well, didn't she have frequent good news a few days ago, how to say that there was a difference, but she still steadied herself and asked, "What happened?" ”
The man paused for a moment before he said, "The 800-mile urgent military report that was received a moment ago was ambushed by our army a few days ago. His Majesty is missing, and his life and death are unknown. ”
Xu Lian didn't react at first, and only after digesting it did she say, "Why did Zhongqing invite this palace to come?" ”
It is estimated that she heard that her voice was wrong, and the man hurriedly said, "Niangniang must cherish her own body, Your Majesty is a member of the society, and now life and death are not clear in the country and the war is quite unfavorable, although it is a secret report, but there is no impermeable wall since then, the old minister is brave, if there is any case, please also ask Niangniang to make plans early." ”
Xu Lian was completely stunned, what was she going to do? Announce the death of Emperor Xihe, and then support his son to ascend the throne? It's really not a loss to go through a journey, sixteen to be the crown princess, seventeen to be the queen, and now it's less than eighteen, so she wants to be the queen mother? 166 Reading Network
