Chapter 25: Split
Although Empress Dowager Wen still had a headache, when she thought that Ban Zhengchun's old thing was still waiting outside, she could only reluctantly get up and hurriedly come out after simply freshening up and changing clothes.
"It's morning." Listlessly raised his eyes and looked at Ban Zhengchun who was standing in the middle of the hall, hum, this old thing still has the leisure to enjoy the thousand cranes hanging in my hall.
Ban Zhengchun was originally so engrossed that he didn't notice that Empress Dowager Wen was talking to him.
"The shelves of this class of adults are really surprisingly big, and they don't salute when they see the Queen Mother." Jinxiu muttered in a low voice, stepped forward, deliberately amplified her voice, and said loudly into Ban Zhengchun's ear. "Lord Ban, the Queen Mother asked you."
"Oh?" Ban Zhengchun came back to his senses at this time.
But he was indeed a little arrogant, and when he turned around, not only did he not salute, but the first thing he said was, "I wonder if the Queen Mother can give me this painting?" ”
"This." Empress Dowager Wen raised her eyebrows upward, and she was really unhappy. Okay, you old fellow, you just open your mouth to ask me for something. I really think of the palace as my own home.
Although the twelve people in their hearts were unhappy, they still kept a smile on their faces.
"This painting was painted by Mrs. Jiang and given to me, and it was not a valuable thing in the first place. I just saw that his mood was not bad, so I just took it out and hung it up. ”
"Oh? This is actually Mrs. Jiang's own handwriting. Ban Zhengchun stroked his beard and looked at it carefully with interest. Sure enough, the name is well deserved, the painting is vivid, powerful, amazing. I implore the Queen Mother to give this painting to the old man. ”
Empress Dowager Wen didn't answer his words, to be honest, Mrs. Jiang worked hard to personally draw thousands of cranes of different shapes, just to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. If you send Ban Zhengchun casually, wouldn't it be in vain for Mrs. Jiang's kindness. Moreover, this class of Zhengchun doesn't know if his eyesight is too strong or too arrogant, and he even wants to take away the good intentions of wishing the Queen Mother a long life.
Seeing that the Queen Mother only cared about drinking tea and did not speak, he knew that the Queen Mother was reluctant, but he was the hero who assisted the emperor in ascending the throne, and he was the emperor's father-in-law, so he was reluctant to paint such a picture, so it can be seen that the queen still didn't regard him as his own.
So he coughed lightly twice and sat down in the position below the Queen Mother.
"You have rules, you are all married to Mrs. Jiufang, and you love to be hairy so much." Seeing that he wanted to rub the oil of Jinxiu when he was serving tea with Jinxiu, Empress Dowager Wen couldn't help but say a few words to him. "Jinxiu, you can retreat."
"This girl is really smart, it's better to ······" Ban Zhengchun tilted his head and watched the splendid go out, looking like an old pervert.
"No way!" Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Wen was very angry, as if her daughter was being molested. "Jinxiu is my personal maid, you don't want to make up your mind."
"It's just a maid, why should the Queen Mother be angry."
"Huh." Empress Dowager Wen didn't explain much reason, she only sneered silently in her heart, this old thing is really lustful, when you know the true identity of Jinxiu, you should regret your words and deeds!
"What the hell are you looking for me in the harem? If it's just to ask me for a maid and a painting, I'm sorry, please go back. ”
"No, Xia Guan just has something important to ask the Queen Mother for approval."
"Let's talk about it."
"The queen died of a violent illness for no reason······"
"Ban-sama, what do you want to say!" Empress Dowager Wen became nervous, what she was afraid of was that Ban Zhengchun was looking for trouble.
"I want to say that the country cannot be left without a future for a day." Ban Zhengchun is a military attache and has always spoken directly.
"Frost should be twenty-eight this year." Empress Dowager Wen asked coldly.
"Exactly." Ban Zhengchun smiled on his lips, not at all like his daughter who had just died. "Actually, I was just about to tell the Queen Mother about the little girl Shuang'er."
"As the Queen Mother knows, He'er is my eldest daughter, and Shuang'er is my youngest daughter. Now He'er's life is thin, and his life is back to the west. Then the position of the queen should let us sit on the frost. There was no discussion in Ban Zhengchun's tone.
"He'er is a good boy, virtuous and virtuous, and has a gentle temperament. Leaving at such a young age, I'm quite reluctant to be a mother-in-law. "Okay, you are a class Zhengchun, I still have three points of regret for your daughter's death, and you immediately wanted to push your little daughter into the palace. really has no heart for parents and children, and is full of official careers.
"I think Shuang'er is still young, and she may not want to enter the palace as a queen." Empress Dowager Wen took a sip of tea, "Let's think about the long-term things after the establishment." I'll have to ask what Tian'er means, oh, of course, I'll recommend your little daughter Ban Meishuang in front of Tian'er. ”
Empress Dowager Wen's words have come to this point, I'm afraid anyone can hear that this is a euphemistic eviction. But this class of Zhengchun pretended not to understand, and he didn't want to understand, since he was here today, he couldn't go home empty-handed.
"The emperor has arrived—"
The eunuch dragged a long tail note, and before he could finish the report, Qingtian walked in in a hurry.
"The child greets the queen mother."
"It's coming, get up quickly."
Qingtian glanced at Ban Zhengchun, who was sitting next to him, and sneered contemptuously with his nose.
"Why did Ban-sama come so early?"
"This," Ban Zhengchun didn't get up and salute when he saw Qingtian, but still sat on the stool. "Report to the emperor, the old minister is here to discuss with the queen mother."
"Oh? What is the important thing not to discuss with me, but with the Queen Mother? Qing Tian glanced at his mother sarcastically, in fact, a fire had already sparked in his heart. This class of honest old guys is arrogant and rude, and they still want to pester their mother.
Empress Dowager Wen smelled a smell of gunpowder, and in order to protect her son, she could only wronged herself and came out to act as a mediator.
"Jinxiu, wrap this picture of a thousand cranes sending longevity to the class and send it to the house." Ban Zhengchun, this old guy, now has military power in his hands, and even the Empress Dowager Wen can only endure the pain of cutting her love.
"Go back, I'll personally watch the minions handle the aftermath of Xianghe."
Ban Zhengchun saw that the Queen Mother even gave up her beloved Thousand Cranes to send her birthday picture, which showed that this old woman was still Ming Dali. Well, she naturally didn't dare to slack off on that little daughter's matter. So he got up and thanked him with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has thought carefully about everything for the minister, and the minister will leave." ”
Seeing that Ban Zhengchun had gone away, Empress Dowager Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
"God, do you know how dangerous it was just now."
"I haven't seen a dangerous child, but a weak child has been taught." Empress Dowager Wen smiled coldly. "What the hell happened to this old thing? Do you want to accommodate him in all this way? Could it be that the queen mother is really as rumored in the palace, and has a disgraceful relationship with this old thing! ”
"Presumptuous! The Queen Mother will not allow you to say this. Empress Dowager Wen was furious and slammed the teacup on the table.
But Qingtian is also a person who likes to be tough. "Why not? Unless the queen mother is in a weak heart? ”
"Rebel!" Empress Dowager Wen was also a little surprised that she would say such a thing, probably because she had raised her three sons alone for so many years and competed for the throne, and only she could understand the sorrow and grievances in this.
"Everyone in this palace will die, but only rumors will always be there. You are the upright emperor of the Qianchao, and I don't want to hear this come from your mouth. ”
"It's just self-deception." Qingtian decided that her mother had an affair with Ban Zhengchun, otherwise how could the queen mother of the emperor's position be snatched from him?
Empress Dowager Wen gasped, is the person in front of her still the son she conceived and gave birth to in October?
