CHAPTER XXIX
In Fengyang Palace, Queen Lu took Jin Se's hand and praised the few advantages of King Wuzhao over and over again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For this Empress Lu, who looked like she was "sworn to take her down", even Jin Se, who had always been quite thick-skinned, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and by the way, she also complained about King Wuzhao.
It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, since the queen originally intended to give him a kiss, then what else is he dragging?
It's just that he shirked left and right back then, and now he doesn't say anything about himself, and he is even unlucky to take her.
When Empress Lu said just right, Gonggong Lin, who had been waiting outside the door, suddenly sang loudly: "Concubine Zhuang Niangniang has arrived~"
Concubine Zhuang? Isn't that her cheap aunt?
Jin Se's heart moved slightly, and then, a pair of water-cut eyes glued to the door. After all, she hadn't seen this cheap aunt who was the fourth concubine.
was interrupted, Queen Lu still didn't like it in her heart, I saw her look at Concubine Zhuang who pushed the door in, and pressed her forehead with her finger.
Empress Lu asked with a displeased face, "Why are you here at this time?" ”
Concubine Zhuang didn't answer, but greeted her first.
"Say hello to my sister." She blessed Queen Lu in a proper manner, and then said: "Originally, I shouldn't have disturbed my sister today, but something really happened in the palace, and the concubine was not good at making decisions on her own, so I had to come to my sister with a cheeky face to seek justice." ”
Concubine Zhuang has been in the palace for 20 years, and her nature has always been as thin as water, and she has never disdained to compete with the women of the harem for fame and fortune. Although she doesn't have a son under her knees now, it is also something that should not be underestimated, so no ordinary palace concubine dares to argue with her.
"Oh? Coming to Hongu to seek justice? Empress Lu smiled lightly, looking at Concubine Zhuang's eyes becoming deeper and deeper. Then you sit down and talk about it first, and also ask the palace to listen, who dares to make Concubine Zhuang eat grievances. ”
"Sister Xie." Concubine Zhuang got up and sat aside, directing the palace people around her to go out to carry things.
When Concubine Zhuang finished instructing the palace people, Queen Lu, who was sitting on it, pointed to Concubine Zhuang and said to Jin Se: "I heard Mingyue say that you grew up outside, presumably you don't know much about this one." She is Concubine Zhuang, your father's sister-in-law, that is, your aunt. ”
Under the deliberate reminder of Empress Lu, Jin Se slowly straightened up from the embroidery pier and made a blessing to Concubine Zhuang.
"Concubine Zhuang Niangniang Jin'an."
Concubine Zhuang glanced at Jin Se and said tepidly. "Well, I'm exempt."
"Xie Niangniang." Jin Se sank again at the elder, and then returned to Queen Lu's side and sat down.
That's it? There is no joy of seeing relatives for the first time, just a greeting and a sentence of exemption?
Empress Lu looked at Jin Se, who was sitting back again, and then raised her hand to cover the upturned corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
The two were so distant and indifferent when they met, but this was exactly what she wanted. After all, no one likes that their future "daughter-in-law" will elbow towards the "li", not to mention that this "li" is still the home of the great minister Chongyuanhou.
"You, what a girl with no rules." Empress Lu made a straight face, nodded at Jin Se's forehead, and pretended to reprimand.
Jin Se grabbed her fingers, put them in the palm of her hand and shook them, pouting and laughing: "In front of you, Niang Niang, Jin Se thinks that he is already very well-behaved." ”
"You are a splash, you are just like Wu Zhao." Amused by Jin Se's appearance, Queen Lu immediately laughed and pointed her out to Concubine Zhuang, who was leisurely drinking tea on the side. "Anyway, Concubine Zhuang is also your aunt, and now that you have just met her, you just have to say hello?"
The daughter of an ordinary family, if she meets a relative she hasn't seen for many years, who doesn't snuggle up in front of her, serve tea and water? It's just that the daughter-in-law she set is a big wonder.
Jin Se blinked twice, looked at the lukewarm Concubine Zhuang, and then at Empress Lu.
Didn't you say that Empress Lu and Concubine Zhuang were always at odds? Why did you push her to confess her relatives today?
Before Jin Se could speak, Concubine Zhuang put down the teacup in her hand first.
"Sister doesn't have to worry about it." Concubine Zhuang wiped the corners of her mouth and said coldly: "This child has grown up outside since she was a child, she has never seen a concubine, and it is normal that she is not close to her concubine now." ”
"That's exactly what Niang Niang said." Jin Se looked at Concubine Zhuang, not only with a smile in his eyes, but also in his heart.
Her cheap aunt has really seen it thoroughly.
However, the concubine Zhuang Niangniang in front of her, who can climb from a former concubine to the current fourth concubine, and has stood steadily in the harem for 20 years without falling, I am afraid that it is not just the word "thorough", right?
Jin Se's words fell, and Gonggong Yao, who was beside Concubine Zhuang, came back with someone.
Gonggong Fu knelt on the ground, and waited for him to greet Queen Lu, and then let the palace people carry a wooden box to the palace.
"This is ......" Empress Lu looked at the small box and looked puzzled.
Concubine Zhuang waved her hand and instructed Gonggong Fu: "Fuquan, open it and give the queen a good look." ”
"The minions obey."
Fu Quan opened the wooden box in response, and it was also far away, Queen Lu didn't see it clearly, she raised her hand slightly, and Mama Zhou hurriedly helped her arm to get up.
Empress Lu walked to the center of the main hall, and Jin Se naturally followed.
"Yikes!"
I saw Jin Se scream, and then covered his mouth again.
Empress Lu looked back at Miss Jiang with a "frightened" face, and then looked at Concubine Zhuang again.
"What do you mean?" Queen Lu's face was cold, she was not angry and arrogant, and the majesty of the queen of a country was played to the fullest. "I brought such an unfortunate thing up! What do you think of the Fengyang Palace in this palace? ”
Jin Se on the side covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and a pair of water-cut eyes kept quietly aiming at the box.
It's no wonder that the always kind Empress Lu is angry, but who would have thought that there would be a corpse in that finely made box.
Jin Se looked at the palace maid in the box who was wrapped in a poisonous snake but had already lost her breath, and sighed in her heart. She only sighed that this Concubine Zhuang's methods of fighting in the palace were fierce, but she forgot that compared with the concubine and the imperial aunt who was once in power, that method was simply inferior.
"The queen is angry." In the face of Empress Lu's anger, Concubine Zhuang calmly bowed to the ground, and Gonggong Fu, who came with her, also knelt on the ground.
"Anger?" Empress Lu smiled coldly, she pointed directly at the palace maid in the box with her hand, and said to Concubine Zhuang: "Then you should tell the palace, what do you mean by sending a dead person over?" ”
