Chapter 148: The Conspiracy of the Empress Dowager
Everyone can sit in one place with their own thoughts, but they can talk in one place, but it is only the harmony on the face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Huo Yunxuan chatted with the Empress Dowager for a few words, and was interrupted by the Empress Dowager.
I saw the queen casually put the teacup in her hand back on the small table, as if in a casual tone, and said with a smile: "Grandmother Huang, the concubine was just on the way to ask for peace, but I heard a rumor that the two county lords of the Huo family were sent by the emperor to pick them up." ”
After that, he glanced at Huo Yunxuan meaningfully with the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of coldness and quickly changed into that gentle appearance and said, "I just don't know how credible this rumor is." ”
"It should never be true," as soon as the queen's voice fell, Concubine Xian's voice suddenly remembered, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, Concubine Xian covered half of her face with a handkerchief and pretended to tell a very funny thing, and chuckled: "We all know that our emperor is the most careless, how can he send someone to pick up the two county lords carefully?" ”
Now the news that the emperor sent the chief eunuch to the palace gate to wait to pick up the two county lords of the Huo family has been spread, but now in the palace of the Empress Dowager, it was denied by the queen and Concubine Xian in a few words, isn't this telling everyone that in fact, the emperor will not send someone to pick up the two county lords of the Huo family at all, it must be that these two people bought a play made by the eunuchs around the emperor.
Sure enough, Xue Ruran and Guo Xiangyu sang and harmonized with only a few words, and the eyes of the girls sitting below looked at Huo Yunxuan and Huo Yunxi a lot, and their eyes directly revealed, "Do the two of you want to enter the palace and want to go crazy?" Even the people around the emperor dared to take advantage of it, and this son was arrested by the queen and Concubine Xian, which is a shame! "And so on.
Huo Yunxuan rolled her eyes in her heart, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a voice coming: "Sister Xian's words are wrong." ”
Huo Yunxuan looked up and saw Mu Qingya nodding lightly towards her invisibly, as if she was comforting herself and signaling that she should not be afraid.
Huo Yunxuan hooked the corners of her mouth at Mu Qingya, and simply didn't care, and let the concubine's sister protect herself.
I saw Mu Qingya turn the jade bracelet in her hand and continued seemingly casually: "When the emperor came to the palace yesterday, the palace just mentioned it casually, saying that the empress dowager was thinking about the county lord Ning Xin every day, and the emperor had always heard it in his heart, so he sent Father-in-law Diao to guard the gate of the palace, just waiting for the two county lords to come to Cining Palace to give filial piety to the empress dowager." ”
After that, Mu Qingya slowly raised her head and smiled slowly at the Empress Dowager, and said, "Although the emperor is a little careless, he has always been more delicate in dealing with the Empress Dowager. ”
As soon as the words fell, the Empress Dowager burst into laughter.
I saw the Empress Dowager smiling at Mu Qingya and smiling at everyone: "Look at this mouth that can speak!" will make people happy, no wonder the emperor is partial to you! ”
Mu Qingya lowered her head embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is used to making fun of her concubines. ”
The Empress Dowager was amused by Mu Qingya and laughed again and again: "Look, this monkey is also shy." ”
Huo Yunxuan glanced at Xue Ruran with a little provocation, only to see that Xue Ruran's eyes were about to burst into flames, but his face was still a bunker image with an unchanging face and a heartbeat. Huo Yunxuan was happy in her heart, and took the queen mother's arm and said coquettishly: "The courtiers who were still scared when I saw Lord Diao waiting at the door just now are not light, but I am afraid that the courtiers have made some mistakes and even the emperor is alarmed, and the emperor will arrest the courtiers and send them to prison." ”
As he spoke, his eyes were already smiling, and he looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile: "It turned out that the Empress Dowager missed her courtiers, and she was really scared to death just now." ”
The so-called fairy words are unscrupulous, Huo Yunxuan is only twelve years old this year, after all, she is still a child, it is normal to be able to say such things, the empress dowager was amused by Huo Yunxuan's fairy words and laughter, stretched out her index finger and nodded Huo Yunxuan's forehead, and said with a smile: "You monkey is still afraid!" ”
At this point, the misunderstanding that had just been deliberately created by Xue Ruran and Guo Xiangyu was completely resolved, and everyone looked at Huo Yunxuan and Mu Qingya so much that the Queen Mother smiled uncontrollably, and the scale in her heart had a more directional bias.
Moreover, it is not a secret that Mu Qingya befriended Huo Yunxuan during the boudoir period, and now I see that Mu Qingya is not unhappy because the emperor sent a sedan chair to take Huo Yunxuan into the palace, but also helped Huo Yunxuan solve the predicament, which shows that the relationship between the two is indeed better than rumored.
Huo Yunxuan is loved by the Queen Mother, and she is now a close friend of the concubine, so Huo Yunxuan has become a sweet and sweet for a while, and several girls have talked around Huo Yunxuan.
Previously, because of the topic deliberately created by Qin Fang, Huo Yunxuan was also famous in Shangjing, but she was famous for her bad side such as "vulgar, arrogant, and unscrupulous". Now this is the first time that Huo Yunxuan has had such an in-depth communication with people since her father's death, and after a few words, Huo Yunxuan gave everyone a different feeling. Especially in conversation and behavior, all of them reveal elegance and purity, only giving people a fresh air of lotus flowers out of the mud without staining.
Besides, you can hear it in the conversation that Huo Yunxuan is not as unlearned as rumored, but feels that she has read a lot of poetry and books, and when she talks to people, she can talk eloquently, and her voice is melodious like a hollow valley.
"There was a banquet at home during the Shangyuan Festival, and I didn't know that the courtiers were fortunate enough to invite the two county lords to the mansion for a talk."
The one who spoke was Yang Shihua, the second daughter of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.
"Thanks to my sister's demon, my sister's filial piety is here, and I want to worship my father on the day of the Yuan Festival, how dare I go to my sister's house again."
The ancients have always been quite taboo about such things, especially after people have just finished worshipping the first, if they go to other people's houses, they will be regarded as ominous, for fear of bringing some bad luck.
Therefore, as soon as Huo Yunxuan said this, the expression on Yang Shihua's face became a little unnatural, and he didn't know what to say.
Huo Yunxuan didn't have anything to do with Yang Shihua, so she naturally smiled kindly at Yang Shihua and said, "When my sister is out of the filial piety period, I will definitely invite my sister to get together." ”
One sentence dissolves all the embarrassment.
Yang Shihua smiled at Huo Yunxuan with some gratitude, Huo Yunxuan nodded at her, and chatted a few words with others, and a palace maid came in to report
"The Empress Dowager Qi, the Empress Dowager Dong brought Miss Xue over to greet the Empress Dowager."
Hearing that it was the Empress Dowager Dong who came, all the girls in the house did not dare to speak anymore, and they fell silent for a moment. The Empress Dowager nodded with the same look of sorrow and said, "Please come in." ”
As early as when the former emperor was alive, there were rumors that the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not harmonious.
Originally, for the sake of the face of the former emperor, the Empress Dowager was willing to give the Empress Dowager some good faces, but now that the Empress Dowager has died, I don't know why, even in front of people, the Empress Dowager is unwilling to look at the Empress Dowager in front of her, and she refuses to give any face.
The Empress Dowager Dong seems to have been accustomed to this mode of getting along, except for a little grievance on her face, there is nothing wrong with anything else, she still bowed to the Empress Dowager obediently and gently, and accepted everyone's courtesy, before she smiled: "You don't have to be restrained." ”
It's just that the smile is a bit like a pretended forced smile.
Huo Yunxuan raised her eyebrows, squinted her eyes, and quietly glanced at Xue Ruqian beside the Empress Dowager Dong.
The Empress Dowager seemed to have made up her mind not to give the Empress Dowager to the East, knowing that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager West were mortal enemies, but at this time, she mentioned the Empress Dowager of the West and asked Mama Fu: "What is Wanniang doing these days?" ”
Mama Fu said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager of the West has been worshipping the Buddha wholeheartedly these days, saying that she is praying for the Empress Dowager and exceeding the former emperor. I haven't been out in days. ”
The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the Empress Dowager Dong coldly, and sneered: "This is what a woman should do!" ”
The Empress Dowager didn't even save face for the Empress Dowager......
Huo Yunxuan felt for a while, and was a little shocked and glanced at the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Dong. I haven't seen you for a few days, what is going on in the palace? Looking at the Empress Dowager's appearance, she seemed to be eager to peel off his skin, but she seemed to be trying to endure it...... The Empress Dowager is in a high position, Gu Shaoyuan really respects her, and Gu Shaoyuan really wants to get rid of the Empress Dowager...... It's just that why is the Queen Mother forbearing?
What is she enduring to endure?
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were tense, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
In the end, it was his aunt, and now the empress dowager and the empress dowager are tense, which makes the atmosphere of the entire palace tense, and it is the empress dowager who suffers in the end. Xue Ruran, as the queen again, naturally wanted to come out to ease the atmosphere.
"What the imperial grandmother said is exactly this reason, the western mother prays for the imperial grandmother every day after tomorrow and does her filial piety, and the eastern mother comes to accompany the imperial grandmother every day after tomorrow to make the imperial grandmother happy, the imperial grandmother is really a good blessing."
I have to say that Xue Ruran does have two brushes, but in just a few words, the words of the Empress Dowager who blamed the Empress Dowager for not "abiding by women's morals" turned into another meaning. It's not in vain that the Xue family has cultivated and taught for so many years.
It's just a pity that even if Xue Ruran is full of flowers, it is useless for the Empress Dowager not to eat her.
Hearing Xue Ruran's voice, the Empress Dowager sneered: "I'm afraid that the mourning family doesn't have this blessing......"
In a word, the atmosphere that had been somewhat improved came to an impasse again.
It turned out that the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager was so stiff that she didn't even give the empress face.
In the end, she is young and thin-skinned, and the queen was stripped of her face by the empress dowager, and her face was a little unbearable.
Although Huo Yunxuan was very happy to see the Empress Dowager and Xue Ruran eating deflated, she still felt sorry for the Empress Dowager in the end, and knew in her heart that the Empress Dowager must be angry in her heart to do this. It's just that the Queen Mother is old, and the harem itself is the world of the queen's aunt and nephew, if she really forces the two aunts and nephews, it is inevitable that she won't do anything to the Queen Mother.
Although Mu Qingya is now assisting Xue Ruran in charge of the harem, according to the power of Xue Ruran's aunt and nephew in the harem, it is estimated that even the empress dowager will not be able to move an inch in this harem.
Moreover, now that the first emperor has died, Gu Shaoyuan's new emperor ascended the throne when his eyes were black, and the foundation was still unstable, so he could only rely on the big tree of the Xue family to slowly stabilize the foundation. Therefore, the Xue family has not only been unable to defeat in recent years, but is still shining because they are descendants.
Although Gu Shaoyuan already planned to raise several other new stars, in the end, the Xue family tree had deep roots, and if he wanted to uproot it, he still had to raise a few more years of borers......
In the previous dynasty, there was a mother's family to help fight the world, and there were two aunts and nephews in the harem who monopolized the harem, and it was not easy to come to the queen mother's life, so these grievances were born.
Huo Yunxuan sighed in her heart, shook the Empress Dowager's arm gently, and pretended to be relaxed and laughed: "There are two empress dowagers who are so dedicated to serving, if the empress dowager still says that she has no luck, wouldn't it become 'discontent'?" If the Empress Dowager doesn't dare to call herself a blessed person, how can the people of this world live? ”
As he spoke, he quietly gently pinched the empress dowager's arm to show comfort and persuasion.
It's just that everyone was scared half to death by Huo Yunxuan's sentence "not satisfied", the atmosphere caused by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager was stiff enough, the Empress Dowager was obviously angry at this time, and even refused to give the queen's face, Huo Yunxuan still joked that the Empress Dowager was "not satisfied", and everyone gasped, for fear that because Huo Yunxuan alone would affect them all.
Someone is about to open his mouth to clear up the relationship with Huo Yunxuan, but he doesn't want the Queen Mother to speak.
"You dare to say anything!" I saw that the Empress Dowager finally had a smile on her face, and pointed Huo Yunxuan's forehead with her index finger, and said with a smile: "What 'doesn't live'!" Only talking nonsense! ”
The Empress Dowager felt that Huo Yunxuan was smart early on, especially since Huo Yunxuan woke up again, the Empress Dowager felt that Huo Yunxuan saw things thoroughly and thoroughly, and the Empress Dowager naturally understood why Huo Yunxuan took the risk to make herself laugh, in the end, she was afraid that she would have a bad time in the palace alone, and she would persuade herself to endure the turmoil for a while.
sighed in her heart, although she was still angry with the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager was most relieved in her heart - she really didn't hurt this girl in vain, and she was the only one who thought about her own safety at the critical moment.
Mu Qingya also nodded to Huo Yunxuan with relief - just now she was still worried, worried that Huo Yunxuan would announce her personal vendetta, and Cining Palace, which took this opportunity to stir up, would not be peaceful. Now it seems that Huo Yunxuan is indeed a lot more sensible than before.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was finally relieved, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even their eyes on Huo Yunxuan changed a lot-it seems that this Xue family girl is indeed a little capable......
The atmosphere in the hall finally returned to normal, but Huo Yunxuan's face suddenly turned pale after she inadvertently looked at the Empress Dowager Dong...... (To be continued.) )
