Chapter 21: Sin

After listening to the emperor's story, the Queen Mother's face finally eased slightly.

"A strange master, a strange apprentice." She said.

"How weird are the strangers." The Emperor laughed.

The Queen Mother exhaled and stopped talking.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Here, the king of Jin'an said happily and leaned over to give a salute.

"What do you thank?" The Queen Mother asked, pulling her face.

King Jin'an smiled.

"Naturally, Your Majesty Xie comforted Niangniang, Niangniang will not be angry, otherwise the child will cause a big incident, and the child's sin will be great." He laughed.

The Queen Mother looked at him.

"You don't provoke these people in the future." She said, "You have grown up in the palace until now, how do you know that people outside are sinister, don't think that woman was a fool, in her eyes, who is a fool is not certain." ”

The king of Jin'an replied with a smile, and thanked him.

"The retainers retired." He said.

"What's the hurry?" The Queen Mother pulled her face and said, "I will have dinner with the mourning family in the palace before leaving." ”

"The child has not been in and out of the palace for a month, and he has been in and out of the palace so many times, and if he stays for dinner, the mother will be criticized by others." King Jin'an said with a smile.

The Queen Mother snorted.

"Mourning family is afraid that people can't talk about it?" She said.

King Jin'an looked up and smiled.

"The mother is not afraid, but the child is reluctant." He said.

Looking at the back of the young man who swayed away from the palace door, the Queen Mother's calm face stretched and smiled.

"Flim Flam." "I don't know who I learned it from." ”

"It's because I'm not in good health, and I discipline him too little." The Emperor said with a smile.

The Queen Mother gave him a roll of the eyes.

"There is no need for the emperor to be in a hurry to clear up the matter. The mourners know. He was brought up by the mourning family. She said. This is all learned from the mourners. ”

The Emperor laughed.

"Now it looks like it is." He laughed.

The Queen Mother snorted and laughed.

"Anyway, the mourning family doesn't like this Cheng family." She put away her smile again and said, "Your Majesty can elevate her as much as you want for the sake of state affairs, just don't let her have anything to do with the mourning family." ”

The Emperor smiled.

"Queen Mother, she is a little woman, how can I lift her? It's not a man's body, and he is given an official and a knight. He said. She has merit, and I have already rewarded her parents and elder brothers, and if she is promoted, even if I think so, the courtiers will not agree. ”

"A woman's family is nothing more than a marriage event." The Queen Mother said slowly.

"Although Mrs. Cheng's mother died early, her father is still there, and her marriage is decided by her own parents, how can I interfere?" The Emperor said with a smile.

"yes, it's someone's business." The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, "But." This Cheng lady once had a serious illness and was one of the five people who did not marry. Although she is fortunate to be healed by a master, but the world is stupid and inevitably has bad thoughts, in the end, she has merit with the country, has parents and parents, and His Majesty still has to watch a little bit, lest those who tend to be inflammatory, and those who are inferior take the opportunity to cling. ”

Tend to be inflammatory, and attach the lowly to the lowly.

The Queen Mother accentuated her tone at these words.

The emperor looked at the Queen Mother for a moment, and finally nodded.

"The Queen Mother is thoughtful." He said.

"Also, since they're all out, it's time for family affairs to be on the agenda." The Queen Mother said, "King Ping Qingwang is still young and not in a hurry, Wei Lang is twenty years old for the New Year." ”

The emperor looked at the Queen Mother.

In the past, the queen mother was the most reluctant to marry the king of Jin'an County, and now she is also the queen mother, and it seems that the queen mother has no hope for adding another heir to the palace.

However, it is true that it is time not to report hope, when the heirs were young, it was difficult, is it possible that now that they are about to know the destiny of heaven, it is easy to give birth?

Like the Tong Neihan who is bent on becoming an immortal? The adopted daughter is not as old as the granddaughter?

The emperor couldn't help but smile, in the end, there was a little envious smile.

Although the heirs were injured one after another, they still left behind a prince who had grown up.

It's time to put it down.

The Emperor nodded.

"The queen mother is in charge, and he chooses the princess of the county." He said.

The two people in the palace said something, and after the king of Jin'an left, he didn't care, he quickened his pace and walked in the palace, looking ahead.

"Your Highness, there is no hurry." The old chamberlain who personally sent him off said with a smile, "Your Highness is not the only one who wants to see Mrs. Cheng. ”

"Who else?" The king of Jin'an asked casually, and glared after asking.

The eyes of the old chamberlain in the Queen Mother's palace who were smiling more and more were gone.

"The slave maid wants His Royal Highness to have a beginning and an end, and she will lead the lady into the palace, so she will naturally send it out." He said.

King Jin'an looked at him and smiled.

"It's still thoughtful." He laughed.

The old chamberlain smiled and bowed busily.

"Your Highness, the old slave doesn't dare to be called His Highness like this." He said.

It is known that it is his grade, and the subordinates of the court officials can be called so, but he is always a domestic slave in front of the king of Jin'an County of the royal family.

The king of Jin'an County smiled but did not speak.

"Your Highness, go ahead, Cheng Niangzi was tripped by Master Cui Qin." The old waiter said with a smile, "The old slave will not be sent, and the queen mother will not be able to leave anyone." ”

King Jin'an nodded with a smile.

The two went their separate ways, one after the other.

As soon as the old chamberlain returned to the Empress Dowager's palace, a small chamberlain hurried over and whispered a few words to him, and the old chamberlain's face changed slightly, and his eyes looked outside the palace gate.

"There's no way around it." He muttered, "Everything in the world is so difficult, if you obey your brother's wishes, you lose your sister-in-law's wishes, and if you like him, you won't like the old man." ”

At this time, the king of Jin'an County had already stood beside Cheng Jianniang, and Cui Qinshi was bowing and retreating.

"What did he say to you?" King Jin'an asked.

"He said thank me." Cheng Jianniang said.

The two of them staggered outward, and the attendant who led the way followed with his head bowed, keeping a short distance.

"He said that when he heard me say that he only learned music and didn't learn the piano, he was empowered, and finally understood where the predicament was, and he was able to jump out of the cage this time." Cheng Jianniang continued.

"That's thanks." King Jin'an nodded and smiled.

"But wasn't it His Highness who made him famous?" Cheng Jianniang said.

King Jin'an continued to smile and nodded.

"Yes, he should thank me too." "I'll ask him for a thank you," he said. It's coming. Divide your half. ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled slightly.

"Okay." She said.

Outside the imperial city, the carriages of the two waited separately.

"I'm not going to send you. The sixth brother can't live without people at home. King Jin'an said.

Cheng Jiaoniang gave a salute and watched him get into the car first.

The king of Jin'an, who was in the car, lifted the curtain and waved at her with a smile.

Cheng Jianniang saluted again and watched the car leave.

"Lady, get in the car." Banqin hurriedly said and handed over the hand stove.

It is not a short road to walk from the Queen Mother's Palace to the Imperial City Gate.

Cheng Jianniang took the hand stove and got into the car.

The carriage slowly moved along the Royal Street.

On the wide royal street, there are not many carriages and pedestrians, and most of the people who come and go are the messengers of the yamen and the servants in the palace.

"Why did the clans in the capital suddenly increase?"

An official who was walking towards the imperial city stopped and squinted at the passing carriage and said.

The official was dressed in a green robe. The boots and hats are neat, and the silverfish bag hangs from the waist, which is obviously a holy outfit.

"Master Feng, that's not the clan." The attendant who led the way smiled, "That's Mrs. Cheng." ”

Cheng Niangzi.

Feng Lin's face sank.

"Can civilians be seen again now?" He said, "Doesn't Your Majesty know that there is a long queue of officials here in the middle book?" ”

"Lord Feng, you just returned to Beijing, I don't know, although this Cheng Niangzi is a commoner, she also has a great merit...."The inner attendant said hurriedly, his eyebrows fluttering, ready to tell these things about Cheng Niangzi.

Cheng Niangzi's things are something that everyone must talk about when they are idle, but there are too many people who say it. It's not my turn to say it, and I finally have the opportunity to tell people who don't know.

Which one is better first? Maoyuan Mountain is drunk in nine cities. Or is it a mystery of the tombstones? Or is it the newest and the most qualified sound in the palace that only the immortals can hear?

The waiter was very excited just thinking about it, and he noticed the increasingly ugly face of the adult in front of him.

"Meritorious?" Feng Lin said, "Didn't Your Majesty have a reward?" ”

"Yes, yes." The chamberlain nodded hurriedly and said, "Her brother-in-law, her father and mother....My lord, do you know how that skill came about?" Speaking of which..."

"Since it has been sealed, why are you still summoned one after another?" Feng Lin didn't allow him to say any more, interrupted and said slowly, "Besides, she is still a woman, what reason is there for her to be summoned into the palace by His Majesty to receive her?" ”

Only then did the chamberlain finally notice that something was wrong.

"It's to listen to the piano," he said.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again.

This time, the voice of the adult in front of him was already full of anger, and a pair of eyes looked at him coldly.

"Listen to the piano?! So many courtiers with important state affairs were still waiting to be summoned in order, and this little woman was able to drive back and forth on the royal street in a grand manner. Feng Lin shouted, "Listen to the qin!" was summoned in order to listen to the piano, is this to let the people of the world know that the emperor is indulging in joy and ignoring state affairs? ”

The chamberlain was already stunned.

He was just a little yellow door with no grade, not a lieutenant of Shence, and he was suddenly scolded by a court official like this, and he was so frightened that he was stunned.

And it was the emperor who was reprimanded by the courtier.

Of course, it was not uncommon for officials to reprimand the emperor.

"And you, a slave and maid, as a close servant of the Son of Heaven, not only did not admonish him, but he even dared to spread rumors, and his heart can be punished!"

With Feng Lin's shout, the waiter finally knelt down with a soft foot.

Not to mention a civil official wearing a green robe and a silverfish bag, he is an ordinary civil official, and the chamberlain can't afford to be scolded by him, not that he has no eggs, but that he is really a military attache of the same level, and he is also afraid of civil officials.

What's more, this civil official is not one of those pampered civil officials in the court, he is Feng Lin, the Feng judge who broke the door and wiped out the clan without blinking an eye, and Feng Lin, who was nicknamed the ghost judge who rolled over in the lives of many people.

The chamberlain knelt down and didn't dare to say anything, but he kowtowed again and again, crying bitterly in his heart, how could he be so unlucky to catch up with this unlucky judge! Look, it's bad luck!
