Chapter 53: Unspeakable

The days passed, the day gradually warmed up, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Shangsi Festival again, because it was still in the national filial piety, the usual Shangsi Festival banquet in previous years had been canceled, and the sons and ladies of the various families in the court could not enter the palace to ask the queen to say goodbye, and some scheming ladies handed over the post into the palace, wanting to ask the queen mother alone, in order to please the queen.

Ning Huaixiu is one of them, since the last time his father made it difficult for the queen and was punished by the emperor, the emperor was much colder to the Ning family, at that time, Lord Ning suffered a lot in the prison, but after being released, the emperor did not appease him with a word, as if he deserved it, it can be seen that the emperor was annoyed with him in his heart, and he refused to even do superficial work.

In this regard, Prime Minister Ning Cheng was sincerely afraid, and secretly complained about his daughter in private: "It is for you that you took the risk to pull the queen off the horse, and now it is difficult for your father, you must find a way to help your father, and you must resolve the emperor's suspicion of being a father!" ”

Ning Huaixiu was also very confused, and he didn't know what to do, because everything had changed, and he had become different from his previous life!

Last year, she was still a palace maid in the palace, and when she never left the palace, a serious illness killed her, and when she woke up, her soul had changed, although she was still her, but she was ten years later.

She was reborn, reborn from ten years later, and that should have made her excited, excited, because she knew everything that was going to happen and how to take control of the situation.

However, what she didn't expect was that when she recognized the current form, she was surprised to find that everything had changed, completely different from her previous life.

In her previous life, she said that she married King Qin with Li Ruizhu, Li Ruizhu was the main concubine, she was the side concubine, Nangong Yi was very good to them, and their father also tried his best to support him, defeated the prince and Jin Guifei and the gang, and ascended to the big treasure.

After King Qin ascended the throne, Li Ruizhu became the queen, she became the imperial concubine, the emperor remembered that their father supported him meritorious, and treated her and Li Ruizhu very well, and she also loved the emperor to the bones, even more than her own life!

Originally, she wanted to accompany the emperor to old age, but she died of blood collapse during childbirth, and now in retrospect, her death must be related to the queen, that is, Li Ruizhu, Li Ruizhu gave birth to a princess a month earlier than her, she must have been afraid that she would give birth to the emperor's eldest son and pose a threat to her, so she poisoned her.

After passing through, her first reaction was to clean up Li Ruizhu, but she was shocked to find that Li Ruizhu had already died, and she didn't even know where to go when she made the snow concubine for the emperor in her previous life, and she was even more ridiculous to stay in the palace and be a lowly palace maid......

One qiΔ“ is different from the previous life!

The emperor became the emperor six years earlier than in his previous life, and the position of the queen has long been occupied by someone, and the position of the queen is occupied by a woman she has never seen or heard in her previous life, she is from a humble background, but she firmly grasps the emperor's heart, and there is no second concubine in the emperor's harem except her.

How so? Why is everything different from the previous life?

She can't accept this change, obviously she is also the emperor's woman, obviously the emperor used to be so good to her, the two of them once spent the poems under the moon together, stroked the qin to the moon, and also had great joy between the bed, giving her the happiness that she will never forget until death.

She loves him so much, depends on him, he is also very good to her, he stays in her palace at least four or five days a month, there are many concubines in the emperor's harem in the previous life, and it is already the top of the sky to be able to divide four or five days a month, but now, he actually stays with the queen every day, and even the queen's menstrual period is not separated, and she has become a complete joke, not to mention that the emperor pampers him, but he doesn't even want to look at it, in his heart, there is only the queen!

Ning Huaixiu had already died of heart for the emperor before, and she was also full of gratitude to the queen, but now she doesn't think so, she is the emperor's imperial concubine, she can't accept this huge gap and change, and she can't accept that she can't be the emperor's woman.

In fact, she didn't have to hang herself on the tree.

Although the emperor in his previous life treated her well, there were too many people in his harem, Queen Li, Helan Guifei, Xue Fei, Concubine Jing, and many concubines, talents, and servants, although he seemed to be very good to his harem, but he was actually a ruthless person. A woman who has been spoiled for a few years should be a little affectionate! But he said he would abandon it, and he would kill it when he said it, and he didn't have any nostalgia at all.

Sometimes, she also thinks that if she forgets the emperor and marries the children of an ordinary family, isn't it good for the husband and wife to raise their eyebrows and grow old together?

However, once the sea was difficult to water, who else could she look up to except His Majesty? As soon as she thought of not being able to live with him anymore and marry an ordinary man, she suddenly didn't even have a living **, so she had to fight, and she had to use her advantages to compete with the queen!

If she wants to regain the emperor, she can't do it on her own, so she planned carefully and decided to let her father help her.

Fortunately, she had already won the queen's trust before, so after she did a little trick, the queen let herself go home. When she returned home, she found her father, explained her identity to him, and asked for his help.

At first, her father didn't believe her words, but she said several things that were about to happen one after another, and they all happened accurately, and her father believed her.

Discovering his daughter's secret, Prime Minister Ning was also very excited, if according to what his daughter said, she was the emperor's imperial concubine, and now Queen Mu does not exist at all, then, as long as the queen is removed, isn't her daughter the queen's mother? And the prince born to her daughter will be the crown prince in the future, and he can be like the prince of the country, being a prince under one person and above ten thousand people!

Prime Minister Ning was intoxicated by this beautiful idea, so when he got the opportunity to overthrow the queen, he spared no effort to encourage the ministers to oppose the queen. It's a pity that the queen is too tough, and the situation that was supposed to win the game has forced her to turn it around.

It may be that his actions this time are too big, the emperor is wary of him, although he did not punish him too much, but he has become increasingly cold, everyone in the court is seeing the wind and rudder, seeing that the emperor does not want to see him, he will gradually isolate him.

This embarrassing situation makes Prime Minister Ning Cheng walk on thin ice, I don't know what to do, Ning Huaixiu is more calm than him, this Shangsi Festival, she wants to enter the palace to explore the queen's attitude, if the queen doesn't hate them, it's just a matter of letting them go, she can slowly figure it out, sooner or later the emperor will notice her; If the queen already resents them and has evil intentions against their family, she has no choice but to speed up her actions, even if it is a risk, she must do her best to get rid of the queen...

…。

In the Imperial Study

Cai Wei sat in front of the dressing table with cloisonnΓ© enamel, facing the bronze mirror to apply makeup, she was wearing a yellow cardigan with large sleeves, an apricot yellow threaded yarn skirt, a hanging beaded golden phoenix hairpin on her hair bun, as well as hairpins and beads, and a pair of beaded crystal earrings on her ears. At this time, he was talking to Chrysanthemum while drawing a thrush.

Chrysanthemum was very distressed, after Mo Zili confessed to her last time, she went to visit her home, I don't know what to say to her parents, provoking her parents as if they were facing a great enemy, she was not allowed to go out casually, and she was firmly imprisoned at home, preventing her from contacting Mo Zili like a thief.

It doesn't matter if she can't see Mo Zili, she is a woman with zero emotional intelligence, she is not as sensitive to love as other women, and she just feels a little sorry for Mo Zili, and has no other feelings.

What really distressed her was that she couldn't go out to eat, drink and have fun, there were so many delicious and fun things waiting for her in the capital, and she was detained at home every day, as if she was in prison, it was really painful for her.

"Cai Wei, Cai Wei, can you make a decree to let my father and mother stop detaining me, I'm about to be suffocated to death!"

Chrysanthemum sat beside Cai Wei, looking at Cai Wei with bright eyes and bright teeth in the mirror, humming and begging.

Cai Wei scooped a piece of face fat and applied it evenly on her face, her complexion in the bronze mirror was white and red, and she had a soft luster like pearls, her eyes were like autumn water, and she was looking at another round face in the mirror playfully, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you will be married in a few months, and you are still like a child, you only think about eating, drinking, and playing every day, I am on fire for your fiancΓ©, where is he marrying a daughter-in-law?" It's clear that I want to adopt a daughter! ”

Before the words fell, the palace maids and eunuchs on the side couldn't help laughing.

Chrysanthemum failed to get her wish, pouting and muttering: "Hmph, if you don't help, you won't help, don't bring a crowd!" ”

Cai Wei smiled and said, "Who said I wouldn't help you?" If you want me to help you, you can do that, but I have a request! ”

"Whatever you ask, you say, I will promise you!" When Chrysanthemum heard that Cai Wei was willing to help her, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Cai Wei with big eyes blinking, and she was very excited.

Looking at her puppy-like appearance, Cai Wei reached out and nodded her forehead, and said with a smile: "Look at you, when I heard that I could go out to play, my ears were pricked up, really!" ”

"What do you want, tell me quickly, don't sell it!" Chrysanthemum shook her arm, so she couldn't put on makeup, so she had to answer her.

"I'm going to check the accounts of the shop under my name once, and from tomorrow, you will accompany me to check, there is a free lunch!"

"Eat with you at noon every day, okay, okay!"

Chrysanthemum listened, nodded busily and responded: "It's just that I'm bored and panicked, just to help you check the accounts, roar, roar, my father and mother won't stop me now......"

was smiling happily, and the palace maid on duty outside came to report that Miss Ning had come to ask for peace.

As soon as Chrysanthemum heard that someone was coming, she hurriedly got up and said, "Since you have a guest, then I'll go back first, and when you go to check the accounts, Ming'er will send someone to inform me, and I'll go with you!" ”

Cai Wei nodded and asked Xiaozhi to send her out.

Chunliu said angrily: "This Ning family is really shameless, I think Miss Ning was so good to serve the emperor when she was in the palace, she didn't want to stay in the palace, Niangniang kindly sent her back, didn't embarrass them at all, who knew that they would take revenge, not only did Niangniang come to help when she had something, but also helped Bai Zhi's slut to slander Niangniang, according to me, Niangniang simply didn't want to see her, send her back!" ”

Chunliu complained, Cai Wei naturally thought of it, she was indeed very chilled by what the Ning family did, but for the sake of the stability of the previous dynasty, she couldn't expose her true emotions, the emperor had already decided to deal with Prime Minister Ning, but Prime Minister Ning Cheng had been operating in the court for many years, and his henchmen were intertwined, and it was not something that could be cleared up in a moment, so before finding out the details of him, he couldn't startle the snake, so as not to force him and regenerate a matter like Li Kaifeng!

"Come in with her!" Cai Wei said lightly.

……

Ning Huaixiu, under the guidance of a little eunuch, entered the East Warm Pavilion of the imperial study, when entering, Cai Wei was sitting cross-legged on the smoke cage reading a book, seeing Cai Wei, Ning Huaixiu collected her inner feelings, lowered her eyebrows and bowed down.

"The courtier Ning Huaixiu meets the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old!"

Cai Wei put down the book, smiled and said: "You and Bengong haven't known each other for a day or two, just do these false gifts in front of people, and you don't have to see the outside like this behind your back." ”

These words were extremely affectionate, if Ning Huaixiu was still the original nineteen-year-old soul, she would definitely be grateful because of the queen's words, but she is no longer the simple Ning Huaixiu, whether the queen is really intimate with her, she can tell.

Therefore, her attitude became more humble, and she said softly: "Thank you to the queen for your love, it's just that the etiquette can't be abolished, Huaixiu doesn't dare to be pampered, lest she be impeached by the official!" ”

Cai Wei said with a smile: "It is worthy of being taught by Prime Minister Ning Cheng, and she is really knowledgeable and polite, get up and talk quickly, don't be polite!" ”

"Yes, some queen mother!"

Ning Huaixiu got up respectfully, silently stepped aside, looking at Cai Wei who was sitting there, her heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and all kinds of tastes came to her heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.

In her previous life, she was the imperial concubine second only to the queen, and she was the same as the deputy queen, and even the Helan concubine of Xianbei Country was a head shorter than her, at that time, she and Queen Li were in charge of the sixth palace together, and they were also worshiped by people sitting there like this, but now, only she worships others!

"Give me a seat!" Cai Wei said lightly, with a kind smile on her face, looking very dignified.

Ning Huaixiu thanked her again, and then sat down respectfully and talked to Cai Wei.

The two of them said nothing more than which lady's lady was right, which fat powder shop was easy to use, and so on, when Xiao Zhi suddenly came in and reported: "Niangniang, the palm print eunuch of the Silver Bureau personally sent the new gold and silver jewelry, do you want to take a look?" If it doesn't work, let's go back and let them rebuild. ”

"Oh, I'll take a look." Cai Wei said.

Xiaozhi clapped her hands, and five palace maids rushed in with exquisite and unique makeup boxes in their hands, looking heavy, and then stood aside with them in their hands for Cai Wei to check.

The jewelry box is also varied, some are rectangular, and the lid is directly opened; Some are like small cabinets, with a small cook with two doors on the top and two drawers below; Others are oval-shaped, not only in different shapes, but also in gold, silver, gold, and lacquer.

Xiao Zhi went over and opened the jewelry box in person and asked Cai Wei to check them one by one.

As soon as the jewelry box is opened, the eyes are full of jewels and dazzling, which makes people's hearts flutter.

Cai Wei has long been used to it, because in less than a few months, she will come to such a time. Cai Wei is a modern person and doesn't like to wear so many cumbersome things on her head, but because of her status as the queen, she has to often attend some important occasions, and on those important occasions, she must wear jewelry that matches her identity, so although she doesn't like it, the silver bureau will still regularly send the best jewelry.

Cai Wei skimmed through it slightly, then picked up a golden phoenix bead and shook it, and asked, "Is there any Concubine Yao?" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Not yet!" Gonggong Xu of the Silver Bureau said that Concubine Yao had already said hello to the Silver Bureau last month, and in the future, their share of jewelry was folded into silver for them, and several concubines were in the harem all day long, and they didn't go out to see people, and the jewelry in the past was enough to wear, so it was better to fold it into silver for them, and it was more convenient for them to spend. ”

Cai Wei nodded and said, "Then let them be." ”

In today's harem, in addition to Cai Wei, there is only one high-ranking master left in the palace, Empress Dowager Mo and Concubine Li, both of whom are dead, and the rest of the concubines who have heirs are all accompanied by their heirs, and those who have no heirs with low status were sent back to their parents' homes by Cai Wei, and there are a few princesses who are not very high, and they live in Yiqiu Garden with Concubine Yao, and spend the rest of their lives lonely....

Cai Wei is also very sympathetic to these women who have nothing to do all day long and can only wait for them to grow old and die, but everyone has their own life trajectory, each dynasty has its own rules and rules, they were born in the Great Jin Kingdom, and the women who were unfortunate or lucky to be the emperor are destined to be restricted in freedom, but in the same way, they also get some things, such as worry-free food and clothing, and live their old age in peace.

Jiang Caiwei spoke so well, Cheng Huaixiu sighed with emotion: "The queen is kind, it's really good to these concubines, the courtiers heard that the eldest princesses who marry outside the palace are allowed to visit their biological mothers every month, and the unmarried eldest princesses are allowed to move to Yiqiu Garden and be raised by their biological mothers!" ”

Cai Wei said: "Mother and son nature, human nature, this palace is also a mother now, naturally knows the pain of mother and child separation, so change the ancestral example, let them enjoy their family, it can be regarded as this palace to do a part for the predecessors!" ”

Cheng Huaixiu smiled and complimented: "Niangniang is gentle and generous, broad-minded, and has both ability and political integrity. ”

This compliment made Cai Wei cry and laugh when she heard it, and she said: "The palace just relaxed the policy a little, so that those concubines can reunite with their daughters proudly, where is it like you said?" ”

Cheng Huaixiu said with a smile: "Don't be too modest, don't say anything else, just say the mistakes made by the father, if you are a narrow-minded master, you will definitely hate your father, this will be the father of the son of the family may not be afraid of what will become, but the mother can understand the father is a piece of hard work for the queen mother, and easily forgave the father, not only did not accuse the father of half a sentence, but also willing to meet the courtiers, it can be seen that the mother is a broad-minded person." Don't you know that after the reinstatement of the father of the family, all the ministers of the court have become estranged from the father, thinking that the father has offended you and will be retaliated against by you in the future. ”

When Cai Wei heard this, she frowned unconsciously, in Ning Huaixiu's words, the political factor was too obvious, obviously testing her attitude towards the Ning family.

She remembered that Ning Huaixiu had always been a simple lady, who only cared about loving Nangong Yi, and would never mention such a topic to her, but now she not only talked about sensitive topics smoothly and naturally, but also brought her a big high hat, which made her embarrassed to attack the Ning family.

Cheng Huaixiu sat there, quietly observing Cai Wei's expression, and when she saw Cai Wei frowning, she suddenly jumped twice in her heart.

Judging from her ability to observe words and emotions that she has practiced in the palace for many years in her previous life, under normal circumstances, people's first reaction is the real reaction in her heart, and no matter what she says in the future, it is all said in the face of Taiping, not what she really wants.

Therefore, when Cai Wei said that 'Prime Minister Ning is also loyal, thinking of avenging the grievances of the Queen Mother, she will question the palace', she didn't believe a word.

At this time, she could basically be sure that the queen mother had already had bad intentions towards the Ning family, and it was unknown if she was murderous. Therefore, I didn't have the heart to stay any longer, so I got up humbly and politely to say goodbye to Cai Wei.

When she walked out of the imperial study, her heart was cold, and the queen's attitude told her that she would not let go of the Ning family, and she had to do it before she started, but, how could she get rid of her?

According to rumors in the DPRK, the queen has some magical powers, and she has already experienced this herself. The last time Liu Xi competed with Jing Shizi, she met the queen by chance, and it was she who deliberately revealed the queen's whereabouts to Li Kaifeng's people, which attracted Li Kaifeng's people to hunt down and kill the queen.

However, the queen is obviously in the sedan chair, and the sedan chair has been poked like a hedgehog by the killers, but she is not dead, and she has not suffered even a little injury, this is too incredible, and it is too weird, how can this be?

If, as rumored, the queen has supernatural powers, how should she deal with her?

The moment she saw Nangong Yi coming, the palace maids and eunuchs who led her out of the palace suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding scenery disappeared, and even everything in heaven and earth was gone, and in her eyes, she could only see the bright yellow figure.

He was still as handsome and incomparable as before, with a bit of nonchalance in his charming eyes, and a few scattered smiles on his lips, as if he didn't look at anything in his eyes and didn't care about anything. It's as if he came to this world just to play the world.

Such a man is like the wind, and he can't hold it at all.

Despite thinking about it, she still looked at him stupidly, reluctant to blink, because he used to be her man, she was all she had, they had been romantic, they had been through hardships and hardships, and they had been affectionate, and she had given birth to a child....

However, this man doesn't even look at her now, as if he doesn't know her, she can't accept it, he is her man, her heaven, and she must rely on his love to live, without him, she can't live......

She looked at the man excitedly, tears in her eyes surging down, but from beginning to end, the man seemed to not see her, and walked past her without squinting, and went straight to the imperial study...

After the emperor passed, the little eunuch who was in charge of sending Ning Huaixiu wiped the beads of sweat and complained: "Hey, eldest lady, how can you not worship when you see the emperor?" The minion has been pulling you several times, why don't you move? What do you think? ”

Ning Huaixiu came back to her senses, wiped the tears on her face in a panic, laughed dryly twice, and said, "I'm sorry father-in-law, when I first saw His Majesty, I was nervous for a while, and I forgot to salute!" ”

"Oh, fortunately, the emperor didn't blame, otherwise, you wouldn't have passed so easily!"

The little eunuch muttered in his mouth and sent Ning Huaixiu out......

……

Nangong Yi strode back to the imperial study, Cai Wei had just released a few buns from the space and was feeding them juice.

"Fatherβ€”"

Seeing Nangong Yi, a few little guys didn't even drink the sweet juice, they screamed softly and cutely, and invariably opened their fat little arms and ran towards Nangong Yi.

Seeing the children like this, Nangong Yi's heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, he bent down, hugged a few milk buns in his arms, and kissed them one by one, and several buns also followed his example and kissed him, and kissed the man with the juice remaining in their mouths.

Cai Wei put down the juice and walked over, took a handkerchief to help the man wipe his face, and asked the man while wiping: "Yi, I asked you to check, have you checked it out?" ”

Nangong Yi took the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Yang Yong, bring the file over and show it to the queen!" ”

"Yes!"

After speaking, he handed over the file in his hand with both hands, and said: "Niangniang, the death row inmates between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five who are scheduled to be executed this autumn in the prison of the Criminal Department are all here, please take a look!" ”

Nangong Yi took Cai Wei's handkerchief, wiped the mouths of the buns, and asked puzzledly: "What did you ask me to do with the files of male prisoners between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five?" You haven't explained the reason to me yet! ”

Cai Wei coughed, feeling a little embarrassed, some things are really unspeakable, unspeakable...
