Chapter 65: The False Husband
The group set off on the road, and the Empress Dowager Hua remembered Ying Chen's words, so she asked: "Your Majesty, if the mourning family remembers correctly, aren't we Ying Chen widows?" Or did you remarry? Which young talent is Fujun from? ”
Respectful said: Don't listen to her nonsense, they are just children. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Empress Dowager Hua is still confused, could it be that the princess secretly had that kind of unsightly thing with some man, and she still shamelessly said it in public?
Thinking like this, I asked, "What's going on?" ”
She and Ying Chen rode a horse together, in the back, although their faces were not shown, but their voices were no longer calm and stern.
"No, the Queen Mother, you misunderstood, Yingchen said that her husband is a woman, and the Queen Mother is ......" Zun said half of the horse next to him.
"The Empress Dowager? If he is still alive, how can the prince's court be deposed? The crown prince is not abolished, how can it be your turn to be the emperor of King Liang, who was banished thousands of miles away since childhood? ”
Princess Yingchen raised her whip on the horse, but she didn't dare to whip the horse's buttocks, and said loudly: "Oh, the queen mother! I said that you don't know anything about the situation, just blind, this Queen Mother is not Tuo Ying, but Tuo Yu, her niece. ”
"Yes! Shedding Yan Fei actually sent another clan girl, when did she enter the palace? ”
"Seven days ago, on the day of her father's birthday banquet, she was welcomed into the palace as the queen. It's a pity that my father ate poisonous puffer fish that day, and after a day and a night, he ascended to heaven and became a star. Princess Yingchen always talked about this with some sarcasm.
Concubine Hua was silent, if the first emperor did not die, there was no doubt that the queen would be surnamed Tofu from now on.
The sun is in the west, stretching the shadows of everyone on the horse, and the horse's hooves are stepping on the yellow bricks, and she is about to leave Yongxiang, and she is like a world away.
In the distance, some tall and ornate palaces began to come into view, white cloth and silk covered the colorful palace lamps, each colored carved column, balustrade, decorative panel, the more and more dense the buildings became.
Later, a sea of white drowned her, and the Empress Dowager's horse, following the new emperor's tall black horse, along the way, there were always groups of palace maids wearing filial piety clothes kneeling down to worship, and when the holy driver left them far behind, they turned their heads to ear and whispered.
She ended her long life in the cold palace, time accounted for almost half of her life, that kind of life is simple and terrible, except for eating and sleeping, just looking at the sky. Now that she's back, the big black dye vat of the Reed Plains Palace will refine her again. She couldn't get used to this kind of attention for a while, and the veil she was wearing was shaking.
"Queen Mother, you are uncomfortable sitting on a horse, do you want the slave to prepare a sedan chair for you?" Yu asked in a whisper next to her.
"No, the mourning family just feels hot."
"Yes! It was too cold in the cold palace, and when I came out, I felt that there were too many people in the reed palace, and the old slaves were dizzy. ”
Princess Yingchen said: "Brother Emperor, you see that the queen mother and the people around her are like wild old villagers who have never seen the world, and when you see the queen mother for a while, you can carry a little, her old man doesn't like dirt buns the most." ”
"Oh, you're talking about me, aren't you? I have also been in Suoyang City for six years, and I have just come to most of you for half a month, no matter what the Queen Mother says, she is still in the palace, and the real soil bun should be me. ”
Ying Chen smiled: Where dare anyone laugh at the king of a country? To tell you the truth, in the ready-to-wear shops in Daxing Mansion, every one is selling the clothes and accessories you wore when you were the king of Liang in the past, although they are all nonsense, but every time you come out, they are snatched up. ”
"I heard that the Empress Dowager has been crazy for many years, why did she get so miraculous all of a sudden?" Empress Dowager Hua asked.
Princess Yingchen was really impatient, and said angrily: "Queen Mother! The Empress Dowager, she is fine, don't mention this stubble for a while, be careful to reply, it was her old man who personally ordered you to be sent to the cold palace, and she hates you the most among these concubines of the emperor! ”
Empress Dowager Hua: "I know, the mourning family is not stupid!" ”
In front of a gray palace wall in the cypress wood, the faint and secluded palace stands in the forest, walk a long way along the palace wall, the tall stone beast guards, the side appears a wide ochre black shadow wall, a slippery white palace lamp hangs high, the white spike sways with the wind, the main gate in the middle of the left and right corner doors, the deep ochre lacquer gold nails, the gold ring of the beast's head, shining in the sun, there are four guards on both sides of the halberd, the palace door plaque is written with big gold characters on a black background: Yongning Palace.
Ying Chen shouted: Queen Mother, this is the palace of the son-in-law "Husband"!
Empress Dowager Hua said: Since she is the queen mother, how can you call her husband? Isn't that messy? Let the people in the palace hear it, what kind of system will it become?
Ying Chen smiled: Erchen and she have known each other outside the palace before, and they are crazy to play together!
That won't work either!
"Queen Mother, don't underestimate this fake son-in-law, because you came out of the cold palace, the women of the emperor's brother will definitely make things difficult for you in every way, the husband of the son, she will help you in the palace!"
Empress Dowager Hua frowned: The more she talked, the more out of tune, phew!
Zun looked at Ying Chen and sneered: I want to see, she is a grounded queen mother, and she can't protect herself, how can she help you be powerful?
The corner door was open, and the little inner eunuch guarding the door was laughing with the two palace maids.
"I said, you monkey cubs, Your Majesty has arrived, and you are still giggling, don't want your head?" Before the horse arrived, the scolding had already started.
More than a dozen palace people were so frightened that they lay on the ground, and the leading inner supervisor said: "Gao Duguan, forgive your subordinates for being clumsy, don't beware of Your Majesty not bringing a guide guard of honor, please spare us." ”
Then Zun's horse arrived, and he opened his mouth and asked: What about the Queen Mother?
"Back to ...... Your Majesty's words, the Queen Mother was grounded by your order, and the slaves and maids did not dare to slack off, and guarded in shifts day and night. ”
Forgetting about this stubble, he glanced at the open corner door: "Grounded, her palace maid is still running outside." ”
The leading inner supervisor hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" They ran out and said that the Queen Mother had just recovered from a serious illness, her mouth was light, her appetite was not open, and the imperial diet opened by the Shangshi Bureau was not moving, so she wanted to bribe us with silver, and wanted to go out of the palace to buy some fresh tricks to eat, coaxing her to use more...... But the slaves and maids are only loyal to His Majesty, where can they be bought? ”
As he spoke, he threw the bag of silver in his hand back to a kneeling little palace maid.
"Drink! How dare you be rude to the people of the Hongu Husband......"
Princess Yingchen raised her whip to pull it down, but her wrist was held by the Empress Dowager Hua after the horse: "Yingchen! In front of Your Majesty, you must not be presumptuous! ”
Zun Qi said: "Oh, is there anything to eat in this palace?" She even thought of buying it outside? ”
The emperor's face, the people kneeling on the ground naturally did not dare to look at it, and there was no emotion in his undulating voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slaves and maids also said so, the palace was full of mourning and crying, but the Queen Mother first went on a hunger strike to find death and life, and was grounded by His Majesty. Even Cao Xiuyi's mother was pregnant with the dragon heir, and she was still heartbroken for the great gift of the first emperor, and she didn't sleep for a few days and nights, and her diet was wasted. ”
Zun coughed and thought to himself, who made you compare, what is the comparison?
Then he asked the palace maid, "What does your queen mother want to eat?" Tell me about it......"
"This slave doesn't dare to say it."
Listening to the emperor's voice, which was quite pleasant, the palace maid actually cried in fright.
"Forgive your innocence, speak!"
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the thing is actually like this, since our mother was punished by the Empress Dowager for grain rest, and was grounded by His Majesty, the diet sent by the palace Shangshan Bureau is some vegetarian food, and some are rancid, our mother asked the slaves and maids to go outside the palace to buy some chicken and duck meat food......"
"Go, call me from the palace!"
This time, hearing that the emperor was really angry, the leading internal supervisor hurriedly went to the Shangshi Bureau to spread the word.
Everyone got off the horse, and the eunuch in charge of Yongning Palace, Desensit, led two palace people to salute.
Gao Changshi replied: "The Queen Mother, not far in front of you is almost to your Ci'en Palace, but it has been empty for a few years, and there must be no preparation inside, it is better for Father-in-law Yu to lead people over first, Your Majesty and Princess Yingchen will accompany you to Yongning Palace to freshen up and change clothes, and then go to see the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian." ”
Empress Dowager Hua nodded, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her mother-in-law, but she always has to wash her bad luck to see the Empress Dowager, and the virtuous concubine, naturally she also wants to see her.
The group entered the Yongning Palace, a long section of the hand-copying verandah, the top is old-fashioned, all kinds of chaste martyrs' biographies and twenty-four filial piety pictures, engraved with "Female Commandment", "Female Rules", "Female Training".
The names of various places in the palace are also very pure-hearted, what is the dust hall, the agarwood hall, the floating cloud palace, the honeysuckle pavilion, the pure heart of the house, the Daigo residence, the empowerment of the small building, and even the big garden behind it is called the Void Garden......
Quietly everywhere inside, there are large areas of shallow green space on both sides as the bottom, and the old green Jiamu mulberry is tall and deep, not prosperous, but ancient and quiet, desensitization leads the way in front. (To be continued)
