Chapter 52: Empress Dowager Qin
She shouted sweetly: "Sister Luoyu." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Luo Yu secretly winked at her, and saluted Zhou Weifu: "The eldest princess, please." β
Chen Chen looked left and right.
Long corridors, smooth bluestone pavement, bright vermilion palace walls. The branches of the old locust in the yard poked their heads out, and the green leaves reflected on the vermilion wall, which had a thrilling beauty.
She's waiting.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Wei saw that she showed no signs of stepping, and asked suspiciously.
She let out an "oops", squatted down and said pitifully: "I looked like I had cramps when I raised my foot just now......"
"You're so capable!" Zhou Wei shook his head and said helplessly, squatting down to check her ankle.
Just a moment, a little longer......
After a while, they can pass by Concubine Wen Guifei, who was sent to the Huanyi Bureau in front, and their mother can avoid quarreling with Qin Qing.
She crouched down and counted, as if it was now, and as long as it passed, she would not encounter it.
"Does it hurt badly?" Zhou Wei frowned and tentatively touched her ankles.
She pretended to be in pain and hissed, slowly tried to stand up, and said, "It's better, I guess I'll be fine after two steps." β
Zhou Wei and Luo Yu supported her one by one and walked forward.
She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had dropped a stone.
ββ¦β¦ You are not the noble master of the past, but the palace girl who is lower than us, I advise you, or get acquainted, the Huanyi Bureau is not close to the palace, if you have a headache and brain fever, the imperial doctor can't catch up! β
The laughter of the palace maids and eunuchs was heard in front.
Zhou Wei looked over there and asked Luoyu on the side: "What's the matter?" β
Luo Yu's face sank, and he walked over and scolded those people.
Chen Chen looked at the woman who was sitting on the ground in the middle and was wearing only a middle coat, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Boom!"
Thunder rang out from the heavens at the right time.
Luoyu's voice came from there: "It's about to rain, what are you doing slowly, don't you leave quickly!" β
The two eunuchs dragged the woman on the ground and walked forward as if dragging her.
Zhou Wei raised her steps and wanted to walk over, but she felt that the corner of her clothes was being pulled by someone, she looked back and wondered: "Aunt Yu? β
Chen Chen silently let go of his hand.
After a while, she heard Zhou Wei's surprised voice: "Concubine Wen?!" β
Chen Chen squatted down suddenly, holding his head in his hands.
The events of the previous life still happened, even when the time was wrong.
Why?
Can't hide?
Zhou Wei's voice seemed to be far and near, intermittently reaching her ears: "...... How so...... Queen mother...... Wait...... My words don't work in the palace now, do they? β¦β¦β
The rain fell like beans.
"Eldest princess, don't worry, let's go see the Queen Mother first......" Luo Yu pleaded, urging the palace maids and eunuchs to leave quickly.
"Stop!" She heard Zhou Wei's roar.
The rain became a thread, and in a short time there was a patch on the clothes.
Chen Chen ran over and shook his mother's sleeve, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, Aunt Yu is cold......
Zhou Wei lowered his head and looked at his daughter's little face full of rain, took a deep breath, and said coldly to Luoyu: "Let them stay in the palace first, they are not allowed to go anywhere!" β
Luo Yu didn't care about anything else, so she gave a little palace maid a look and asked her to go to Cining Palace to tell the Empress Dowager Qin.
Zhou Wei hugged Chen Chen and walked quickly to the shelter from the rain, and a palace maid sent an umbrella.
They entered Cining Palace with umbrellas, and there was another female official waiting there at the door, and when she saw them coming, she hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother has prepared hot water and ginger soup, and the young lady is young, so it is better to go to the cold." β
Zhou Wei went to the bath with the female officer with a cold face.
The female officer glanced at Luo Yu, who nodded and hurriedly went out again.
When the mother and daughter finished cleaning up, the Empress Dowager Qin was already waiting for them in the inner room, asking Mama to carry Chen Chen to the kang, and she and Zhou Wei sat on one side.
Chen Chen didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager Qin, so he only pretended to be asleep.
"If you have something to say, who will show your face?" Empress Dowager Qin's voice was indifferent without the slightest emotion, with the arrogance of a superior, and the words she said were like needles that pierced Chen Chen's body, which made Chen Chen tremble.
"But in the palace, it will be your backer for the rest of your life." This sentence sounded coldly in her head, as if she had returned to the night of the candle in the cave room, and the Empress Dowager Qin was standing in front of her bed.
She didn't dare to move.
"Queen Mother, when my daughter just came over, I met Concubine Wen." Zhou Wei's voice softened slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Chen felt his mother's mood fluctuate, and only heard Zhou Wei say: "Are you going to send Concubine Wen to the Huanyi Bureau as a palace maid?" β
Empress Dowager Qin "giggled" and laughed.
"It's so ugly."
Chen Chen opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the Empress Dowager Qin was leaning on the bright red pillow embroidered with gold longevity patterns and half-squinting her eyes, and her lips coated with brick-red lipstick were closed one by one: "Before the first emperor died, she loved to wash clothes for the first emperor, and when the palace people cleaned up two days ago, they found that some of the clothes were still dirty before the first emperor died, this is not good, how can she bury a piece of her heart?" I fulfilled her and asked her to wash it, and there were enough materials in the clothes bureau, which was the most suitable. β
The current Empress Dowager Qin is only forty-eight years old, but there are a few white hairs mixed in the green silk of the crow, and the perennial frowning makes her have the word "Sichuan" early. However, although she has left traces of the passage of time on her face, she can also see the incomprehensible things of her youth.
This is still different from what she remembers. In her consciousness, Empress Dowager Qin was an old woman with white hair, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle when she looked at people, and her face was full of wrinkles, like dead wood in a cold palace. She never laughs, and even when she does, she sneers, full of an aura that keeps people away.
And now her smile is mocking, and there is a hint of pleasure in her eyes.
Zhou Wei asked the people who were serving on the side to retreat, and said bitterly: "Do you know that there are still edicts whose whereabouts are unknown?" In my opinion, eighty percent is in the hands of Wen Tingli! He is now trying to win public opinion, and if you do this, aren't you giving him the handle with your own hands?! β
Chen Chen was surprised.
What edict?
Her hands and feet were chilling.
How many things she didn't know......
"If he dares to ask for it." Empress Dowager Qin snorted coldly, her eyes were full of ice, and she sneered self-deprecatingly: "That old horseman still has a back, the mourning family really underestimated him!" β
Zhou Wei pondered for a long time and said, "What did the second brother say?" β
"I have been wronged all my life by your mother." Empress Dowager Qin looked at Zhou Wei, and then said, "You said that if I don't torture and torture his beloved, can the mourning family be happy?" I'm all sorry for myself! She looked at Zhou Wei with a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking very happy.
"His most precious man is under my command who cannot survive or die, and he is tormented every day, and he is separated from his son. Even if you want to eat a meal of meat, you have to go through my permission, she is like an ant, I want her to live, let her live, if I want her to die, let her die! I can torture her as much as I want! Let her lie at my feet and beg for mercy! She laughed, looked at Zhou Wei excitedly and said, "You say this, will he regret treating me like that?" β
