Chapter 123: The Queen Mother

How easy it is to say, His Majesty's sword is still a bit of a child's play, and his old man also attaches great importance to this matter, maybe he can be accommodating, but he wants to borrow the Buddha beads of the Queen Mother? Then don't joke around, it's simply impossible.

The Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, and since she was young, she brought a string of eighteen Buddha beads with her, and every time she worshipped the Buddha, she held it.

There is only such a string, and nothing else.

Even when the old man was 70th birthday, His Majesty gave it to the queen, and she didn't have any nostalgia at all.

At that time, the ancestor of Dayun Temple presided over, and even personally blessed this Buddha bead, and was stunned to chant the scriptures for nine hundred and eighty-one days, without interruption for a day.

The Buddha beads have become the treasure of the old queen mother.

Hongchen said with a smile that she wanted to borrow the heart treasure of the old lady, which was very righteous and awe-inspiring - for the face of Da Zhou!

Guo Pin's head was hot, so he quickly whipped up the night and accompanied her back to the palace.

You can't open the palace door at night.

Fortunately, it was Yu Yi who was on duty today.

After Yu Yike's examination, the emperor not only let him enter the Hanlin Academy, saying that he was studying and studying, but also transferred him to the palace and became a Yulin guard.

Yu Linwei is the most important forbidden army of the royal family, and he is also the emperor's most trusted son of the family and the disciple of the clan can be selected, and it can be seen from Yu Yi's treatment that the emperor still attaches great importance to his family.

Seeing that Hongchen was coming, Yu Yi hurriedly explained, and personally went to Concubine Yu's bedroom, Zhaoyang Palace to see the emperor.

Guo Pin was a little surprised: "This little general seems to have a lot of prestige in the palace!" ”

Hongchen also saw that Yu Yi was quite familiar with the court. Yu Linwei on the left and right were polite to him, and said that it was too late, and he dared to break into the emperor's favorite concubine's bedroom, and changed it to someone else, just thinking about it, he was scared to death, but he did it lightly, and it was not a matter of importance at all, and others were not surprised.

"General Yu Xiao is different from us, he grew up in the palace, and the queen mother taught him personally for two years when he was a child."

A group of Yu Lin Wei also gossiped. A lot of people said it privately. The queen mother is afraid that she treats him as a nephew, and she loves him very much. We'll see you too. Usually he also wants to send his homework in for his mother to review. Whenever he gives gifts to his juniors, he always has a share. ”

"It's Yu Yi, this kid doesn't know what to do, and he has been rewarded by his mother again and again. I don't see how happy I am. ”

These people obviously have a good relationship, and they have no scruples about talking, and they are not afraid that the little general will be angry, with a little half-joking interest.

Hongchen only remembered at this time, it seems that it is true, the queen mother is also from a family of military generals, and it seems that the ancestor and the Yu family have also married, which is considered a world friend.

A while ago, I also heard that General Yu begged the queen for his son's marriage, and the queen was also interested, so she specially called Yu Yi over, and chose the name of Shuyuan to say to him, but looking at Yu Yi's complexion today, it is still dark, and he looks a little haggard, and there is no sign of peach blossom luck, and he still can't do it.

But his father probably didn't dare to use tough means, he must be afraid of provoking Yue Lao, and he would be unlucky if he had an accident.

Hongchen felt that judging from Yu Yi's face, he might have no wife and no children in his life, of course, there was still a glimmer of life, but even if there was, it was not perfect, and it might not be a good thing for him.

At this time, I don't have time to deal with the love rights and wrongs of young men.

Not long after, the emperor summoned Guo Pin first.

Hongchen is a girl, waiting in the side hall for the time being, and the palace maid of Zhaoyang Palace hurriedly served her refreshments, showing that she also knows the new county lord very well.

After waiting for about half a moment, a little eunuch came to invite her.

The little eunuch was very attentive, Hongchen stuffed him with a purse, and he also generously put it in his sleeve.

Outsiders don't know, Hongchen remembers that the eunuchs around the emperor were very generous in receiving gifts, and they had two close cronies of His Majesty, and they did not refuse the rewards of the prince and the concubine.

Zhaoyang Palace

This place feels like it's not as good as Ganquan Palace, it's gloomy and uncomfortable.

"Dusty is here, sit."

Hongchen saw the ceremony, and he was not polite, so he sat down on the embroidery pier that the little eunuch had moved, but Guo Pin still had to stand honestly.

Don't look outside, she is a county lord who has no real power, and only has a name, and there is no comparison with Master Guo, who is loved by the emperor, but in the palace, she is the emperor's junior, 'granddaughter', can talk and laugh with the emperor, Guo Pin has to be respectful when he sees her.

Guo Pin obviously said it again.

But the emperor asked again.

Hongchen thought about it, and simply didn't care whether the emperor understood it or not, he took a pen and paper and drew the shape of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and talked about all kinds of complex changes that might occur, she said it vividly and interestingly, although most of them were fooling people, but they immediately paid attention to the emperor's fooling, and even vaguely felt that Hongchen's strength was higher than Guo Pin.

After all, Guo Pin nagged for a long time, saying terms he didn't understand, and the expression on his face still looked embarrassed, and he lacked confidence when he looked at it, but the little girl was confident and seemed to be in control.

The emperor thought about it, but he still responded: "My sword, you can pick it yourself, you can choose whichever one, as for the Buddha beads of the queen mother, you go to the queen to take you to ask for it...... Maybe the queen mother will give the queen some face. ”

I can hear it in a few words, the emperor and his mother have nothing to say, but the queen and the queen mother are more intimate, which is not common, most of the queen mother is a son is a treasure, and the daughter-in-law is a weed.

The emperor hesitated for a while, but still didn't go to Ganquan Palace, only let Hongchen and Guo Pin go to see him, and the two of them left Zhaoyang Palace, but Yu Yi was waiting at the door.

"County Lord, Master Guo, send the two below."

He was still wearing Yulinwei's unique dark color tight-fitting robe, but the jade Jue on his waist had been changed, the transparent mutton fat white jade was very delicate, and it was decorated with a bright yellow peace knot.

Hongchen glanced at it, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

Yu Yi sent them all the way to the gate of Ganquan Palace, and knocked on the door himself, and the little eunuch guarding the door inside was obviously familiar with him, and after saying a few words, the lights were turned on.

But in a moment, the queen was fully dressed and did not let them in. Straight out of the gate on the shoulder.

I also let Hongchen sit on it.

"Xiaoyi sent someone to say it just now, Ah Chen, I'm not sure about the Queen Mother, I don't know if it's good to use other Buddha beads?"

The queen brought her Buddhist beads to show Hongchen.

"This is also a long time in front of the Buddha, and the light has been opened."

Hongchen glanced at it and smiled bitterly: "It's better to beg the Queen Mother first, to be honest, this time the opponent is indeed extraordinary, Master Guo is also seriously injured, if you can't go all out." I don't have enough confidence in my heart. ”

The queen burst into laughter. Spread his eyebrows, that kind of beauty, not only saw the group of guards below dazzling, but even Hongchen was dazzled.

Such a posture is peerless. I'm afraid it will be another ten or twenty years. After the hair is gray. She is also the most charming old man.

Sometimes real beauties have transcended their appearances and are even more obsessed. It's temperament.

Many people say that Hongchen is like a queen, but I am afraid that people who really regard the queen as a sharp heart will never feel like it, after all, the temperament of the two people is very different, the queen is a cold jade, unchanged for eternity, and Hongchen is like a tree, lush and vibrant.

The Queen Mother ignored the affairs of the palace very early, retired to Yihua Garden, raised a garden of flowers and plants, and also raised a cat, two dogs, plus a pair of talking parrots, beautiful yellow warblers.

The old lady walks the cat and teases the dog every day, and the days are free, and she usually only likes the queen to flatter, and the others, even Concubine Yu, rarely see it.

The group arrived in front of Yihua Garden, but saw that the lights were bright, and the Queen Mother had obviously not rested.

The queen frowned, and always felt that Yihuayuan was a little messy.

As soon as she arrived, several eunuchs came to open the gate, and surrounded them to enter, and it didn't take long for the Queen Mother to summon her.

In two lifetimes, Hongchen saw the Queen Mother for the first time.

The old lady didn't wear too complicated clothes, just like an ordinary peasant old lady, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but the headdress she used was a little more delicate.

"Tong is here." The queen mother's eyebrows seemed to be a little worried, but she didn't show it, she pulled the queen and looked at it carefully, "Well, okay, you look good, you should go out and walk around more, don't wear it in Ganquan Palace all day long, it's cold in that place, come and play with the queen mother if it's okay, if he is difficult for you, tell the queen mother." ”

The old man is old, but his brain is not confused, and he is also a good person, and he was also a military general.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has produced a number of queens and princesses in a row, and it seems that the royal people like to bring their beloved generals' sisters and daughters into the palace, as if they are easier to control when they enter the palace.

When the Queen Mother was young, she was also a powerful person who could fight on horseback, but now she is old and her body is still strong.

The queen smiled a few words, and then introduced Hongchen to them.

When the Queen Mother saw Hongchen, she was stunned and said with a smile: "This child is good-looking, it reminds me of when you first entered the palace, you are also so bright, naughty and lively, you are still competing with Concubine Mi all day long, and people always let you ......"

"The Queen Mother."

The queen frowned.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." ”

It's all in the past, and it's sad to say, those old people in the palace are withering and disappearing one by one, and she is also old.

"Good boy, what is the matter with coming to the queen mother so late?"

"Hey, the queen mother, the sons brought the children over, there is really something I want to trouble the queen mother." The queen quietly made things clear.

As soon as she heard that she wanted to borrow the Buddha beads, the old queen mother immediately shook her head: "No, no, it's just another time, this time I am asking the national teacher to give me the Buddha beads to be consecrated again, it has been thirty days now, but it can't be interrupted, one is broken, I can't say that it will be destroyed, that's my life, I can't give it to you." ”

The queen was stunned.

The Queen Mother shook her head: "If you want me to say, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, can we have more face if we win on this?" If you want to win, you can win on the battlefield openly, then you can be happy, okay, I still have something to do here, you can go. ”

She is the oldest, and the queen does not dare to stay longer when she gives an order.

The group had no choice but to come out.

The queen sighed: "There's no way, you can't pester the queen mother, and it's too late." ”

Hongchen shrugged: "Hey, let's see if there is anything comparable to the Queen Mother's Buddha beads, if not, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

As he was talking, he had just left Yihua Garden, and there was a noise behind him, and it was chaotic.

"Stop."

The queen frowned. After thinking about it, he ordered his shoulder to turn around and go back.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a number of people hurrying around.

Aunt Liu, who was beside the Queen Mother, came out, led a few palace maids, and two imperial doctors carrying medicine boxes were about to enter Yihua Garden, and when they saw the queen, they hurriedly bowed down.

Raise her hand to get her up, "What's going on?" ”

"Mother, Jiji has refused to eat for several days, and today he is lying like this. Nor moving. Straight hum, the veterinarian looked at it, said that it might have eaten something by mistake, and prescribed medicine. But it didn't work at all. The Queen Mother was in a hurry just now. ”

Aunt Liu sighed. "This whole day, the Queen Mother's mood is a little inappropriate."

The queen was stunned, no wonder she looked at it today. Although the Queen Mother had nothing on her face, she looked a little irritable.

In the past, her old man did not agree to borrow Buddha beads, but also gave her face, and said it tactfully, no matter how it was, she would not be afraid of the victory or defeat of the gambling between Da Zhou and Beiyan, and she would not help think about what could be replaced, but today it was a little abnormal, it turned out to be in a bad mood.

As she was talking, another aunt surnamed Ma next to the Queen Mother came out, "The Imperial Doctor has arrived, Ji Ji is not very good, the Queen Mother is in a hurry, and she is clamoring to carry it out of the palace to find a veterinarian." ”

The queen was taken aback: "How can it be done, it's so late now." She hurriedly got off her shoulders and walked in hurriedly, not caring about anything else.

Hongchen also followed.

The queen mother's bedroom was in chaos at this time, many palace maids and grandmothers were kneeling and begging, and there were people outside urging the imperial doctor to come to the diagnosis and treatment quickly.

Anyway, they are all doctors, and the doctor can cure people, and he can also cure cats.

Hongchen entered the door of the palace again, and this time he followed the queen directly into the inner room, but he didn't have time to salute.

At first glance, I saw the cat that was well placed on the tiger skin mattress, with long white hair, sky blue eyes, and bright coat color, very cute, but it was sorrowful, with blank eyes, faint tears, motionless, and some vomit at the corners of the mouth.

The Queen Mother was almost distressed and tears were about to fall, and shouted in a loud voice: "Jiji, my little ancestor! What's wrong with you, tell my mother! ”

Hongchen: "......Your Majesty, you are now a brother with a cat, how do you feel?"

The queen also paused--I'...... Ancestors, you are as old as a cat. As for the emperor, it doesn't matter if he is a brother with a cat or a dog, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a brute.

You can't say this, it's disrespectful to say it, but it's okay to think about it, even if it's the king's law, you can't care about what others think in their hearts.

Several imperial doctors were forced to be helpless, tossing and turning, scratching countless times by cat's claws, and prescribed medicine to feed them.

But it didn't work at all.

After a while, the cat spat out a mouthful of blood in a daze, which frightened the Queen Mother's face and almost passed out.

The queen hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but she also looked helpless, glanced at Hongchen, and made a look - at this time, it is obviously not suitable for Hongchen to say more, it is better to prepare early, and the gambling fight will continue at dawn.

Hongchen thought for a moment, his eyes fell on the big white cat, and he suddenly stepped forward to salute and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother reluctantly looked at her, but fortunately, the old man still had a little love for Hongchen, and sighed: "I know that you are loyal to the country, but I am not in the mood now, you go to the emperor and ask him to find any other Buddhist beads for you, don't waste time here." ”

"The Queen Mother is gentle, although Hongchen is not a doctor, but she can also see that Jiji's situation is not very good, and the doctors are afraid that they will not play a big role, after all, they are to treat people, and they are not able to deal with cats who can't speak."

Those imperial doctors immediately looked at Hongchen with grateful eyes.

They usually treat people, this cat is only a little bigger, and it can't speak, and it can't take the pulse, how to treat it?

Now I can see that it probably swallowed some hard object by mistake, which was also said by a few veterinarians from outside the people, as well as the little eunuch of the zoo, they themselves can't see anything, but these words, can you tell the old lady?

The Queen Mother turned her head, her eyes fell on Hongchen, and she was vaguely angry: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Niangniang, in this case, the medicine stone is ineffective, I'm afraid the only way to ask the imperial doctor to do it is to directly open the knife to take out the things."

Hongchen had a straight face.

A few imperial doctors: "......"

The Queen Mother's gaze suddenly fell.

The faces of the imperial doctors were not too bitter, and they knelt down and kowtowed one by one. Claims to be incompetent.

"Absolutely not, this, if this is a knife, wouldn't it be to cut open the cat's belly, where can it live!"

The death of a cat is not a big deal, but the death of the queen mother's cat, who knows how much trouble it will make.

Although Niangniang is not a person who is to blame at every turn, but her old man is old, and when she is older, she may be confused.

The emperor has been currying favor with the Queen Mother lately. It's just illegal. Maybe...... The more the doctor thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Hongchen also sighed: "The problem is, I think this Jiji will really die if he is not treated." There is no other way. ”

The Queen Mother hesitated suddenly. Gently pick up your cat. Jiji obviously knew that this was the master, and meowed, and stretched out his tongue to lick the queen mother's face.

It hurts when its tongue licks its face. But the Queen Mother was stunned as if she didn't feel it.

Hongchen raised his head and said, "Queen Mother, if the imperial doctors really can't, how about letting Hongchen use this knife?" ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and her eyes fell on her.

Hongchen's age is really young, and he doesn't look like someone who can do such a thing, "You know medical skills?" ”

"I just know a little bit about it, but I once opened a knife for a rabbit a while ago in order to verify the effect of a knife talisman, and I should be able to judge the specific location of the hard object in Jiji's body, as long as I open a small opening, take out the thing, and bandage it immediately, the blood will not flow out too much, at least ninety percent sure that Jiji's safety can be guaranteed."

A bunch of imperial doctors are all stupid.

But now at this time, when someone comes to stand up to the thunder, they naturally bow their heads and don't say a word, the Queen Mother's gaze shifted and shook her head, knowing that it is not good to force a few imperial doctors to do such things.

"What do you say, Queen?"

The queen glanced at Hongchen and sighed: "Queen Mother, my godgranddaughter is a serious spirit girl, she has just prayed for rain for my Great Zhou, Your Majesty also knows her ability, even this gambling fight between Great Zhou and Beiyan, Master Guo asked her to help, as a spirit girl, maybe there are really good means to know, if the queen mother really has no other way, it is better to believe her." ”

The Queen Mother touched Ji Ji, felt that his breath had become nothing, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, and she gritted her teeth: "Okay!" ”

After speaking, let Aunt Liu send Ji Ji over.

"I'll just watch, you can do it."

She didn't say how successful she was, what about her failures, obviously even the queen mother didn't blame a county lord because of a cat.

Hongchen was not in a hurry, first hugged Jiji, overturned it on the table next to him, touched its belly, borrowed a dagger from the guards outside, shaved the hair on the kitten's belly, and took out a handful of seeds from the purse, crushed it, and sprinkled it directly on its small belly.

Everyone stared at Hongchen very nervously, especially when she actually held a knife in her hand, the Queen Mother was still there, not only the palace maids and eunuchs, but even the guards approached without a trace.

"Please ask Aunt Liu to help you get a bowl of spirits, the kind that can be burned."

The Queen Mother is good at liquor, and it is not a new thing.

Directly made a jar, soaked the dagger in the whole body, and burned it with fire, Hongchen was engrossed, and when he looked at it directly, he locked the position of the hard object, and his subordinates swiped very quickly, and with a click, something fell to the ground.

"Ahh

When the surrounding palace maids saw it, they were startled.

It turned out to be a dry bone, and there was a ring on the dry bone.

Hongchen didn't even look at it, wrapped a piece of talisman paper with some seed powder, pasted it on Jiji's wound, took gauze and bandaged it gently and skillfully.

From the beginning to the end, there was only a blink of an eye, which was not enough for the people around him to see clearly, and even Jiji didn't seem to react.

However, Gigi's appearance was obviously different, and he didn't seem to feel particularly pain, but shook his hair, squinted, meowed twice, and squirmed.

Hongchen picked up Ji Ji and handed it to the Queen Mother, who had long been ignoring her old age and rushed over in two steps, the Queen Mother couldn't notice anything else at all, hugged Ji Ji and kissed her twice: "It's spirit, look, your eyes are so wide!" ”

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any accidents, but don't give her anything to eat tonight, just feed her some rice soup, and it will be fine tomorrow, and don't let it exercise vigorously recently."

Hongchen smiled.

The Queen Mother smiled a flower on her face, and her gaze at Hongchen became very different, haha Yile: "Okay, I know that you little girl is in a hurry to offer courtesy, and she must be pondering my Buddha beads, but the Buddha beads can't be used by you, and the Buddha beads next to my warehouse are also packed in boxes, you can pick them yourself, and you can do as much as you want, and give them to you directly." ”

The old man is not confused.

Hongchen hurriedly smiled: "To make the Queen Mother happy, it is Hongchen's duty, where can there be excessive luxury, it's just that Niangniang's Buddha beads, has her aura been unstable recently?" ”

The Queen Mother stroked Jiji's hair and was stunned: "How do you know this kid?" I didn't say anything about it. (To be continued.) )
