131 Enter the palace

The old lady remembered the past. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhu Yue hugged her, and the grandfather and grandson, led by two palace maids with double-ringed buns, came to the inner room where the queen mother lived.

As soon as the person arrived at the door, a strong incense came from the inner room, which made the person almost out of breath, and it took a while for Zhu Yue to get used to it.

The old lady seems to be accustomed to this scent, which is said to be used only in the palace.

Smelling this familiar fragrance, the old lady felt very kind.

Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs stood on both sides of the inner room. The first person in the middle is the empress dowager Jingmin, the biological mother of today's emperor, the empress dowager is from the Guo clan of Chenjun, and after her son Zhu Fang succeeded to the throne, she was naturally respected as the empress dowager Jingmin.

But in terms of seniority, the Queen Mother is a generation behind Old Concubine Du, who is her elder and has the same level as her mother-in-law, Mrs. Bian.

According to the rules of the Zhu family, the queen mother honored the old lady Du.

But she is also Mrs. Guo's aunt, and a few days ago I heard Mrs. Guo say that the old lady deprived her of the right to be in charge of the house.

Although the queen mother does not have much intersection with the old lady, because of this incident, there is a gap in her heart, so today she is ready to give the old lady and the concubine Zhu Yue a dismount.

Mrs. Du has experienced a lot, so she didn't care about this false courtesy, and pulled Zhu Yue to bow down first.

The queen mother wanted to get up, so she greeted with a spring breeze on her face, stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Concubine Du, please get up, don't torture me, quickly help me up and sit down!" Zhu Xuan helped the old lady to sit on the soft couch arranged on the side, kept her eyes down, looked at the ground, and stood quietly listening to the Queen Mother and the old lady.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Concubine Du is expensive this year? How are you doing lately? ”

The old lady said: "Thanks to the blessing of the Queen Mother, she has passed eighty years after the year, and she is still tough." ”

The queen mother smiled when she heard this, "Counting the elder aunts, Concubine Du has the longest life expectancy and is in good health." Last time, I mentioned to the emperor that the old lady's 60th birthday is gratifying, so it is better for me to be the master of the old lady's birthday. ”

The old lady hurriedly said: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, I have an old bone, don't I use extravagance." ”

"What did the old lady say, I heard my niece mention that the old lady is now leading her granddaughters to spin and weave cloth every day in the house, diligent and thrifty, and simple, which is most admired by outsiders, but what can be wasted for a birthday."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Yue, who had not said a word, and smiled faintly, "It's Yi'an standing next to you, right?" ”

Zhu Yue suddenly heard the Queen Mother mention herself, so she responded.

The Queen Mother said with a smile in her words, and beckoned: "You come closer, let the mourning family take a look." ”

The old lady called Yi'an over.

Zhu Yue lowered her head and walked to the side of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not ask someone to sit, so Yi'an had to kneel on the ground again and make a gesture.

"Look up." The Queen Mother's seemingly relaxed words carried an irrefutable majesty.

Zhu Yue raised his head, and saw that the queen mother's Lingyun bun was wearing a Chaoyang Jiufeng hanging beaded hairpin, the skirt was tied with a blue palace silk, a peony fat jade pendant, and a deep coat of woven gold satin.

A pair of phoenix eyes smiled and did not show it, and the red lips smelled before laughing.

The Queen Mother had already taken her hand, and said with a smile while looking at it: "A good Peugeot child, he looks more handsome than Changle." didn't look like a concubine, but was a granddaughter, and I couldn't complain that the old lady loved her more. It's a pity that a good girl, how can the old lady be willing to take out her hand? ”

The Queen Mother's words revealed her dissatisfaction with Concubine Du's partiality for concubines.

Mrs. Guo came to mention to her before that Concubine Du is becoming more and more partial, and her granddaughter ignores it, but favors and defends a granddaughter who is a concubine.

The queen mother said a word, but she deliberately mentioned that she wanted the old lady to pay attention.

The old lady said: "My intentions for Changle and Yi'an are equal, although Yi'an is a concubine, but after all, she was also raised by her daughter-in-law herself, so she is naturally no different from her concubine." No one loves anyone more than anyone else, if you really study it carefully, Changle is luckier than Yi'an, and pro, in the blood of the Zhu family, Yi'an is the first. ”

When the old lady got more serious, it was also a bit of a headache.

When the queen mother heard this, she smiled lightly: "It is indeed the first, the last time the princess of Qingping County replaced the Zhu family and relatives, but she was very disgusted by the kid of the Murong family, and returned the county lord of Qingping, saying that the folk women of Daqi he had seen were a hundred times more beautiful than the princess, and the emperor and the emperor were so angry that the emperor and the emperor degraded the county lord as a concubine. With Yi'an, are you still afraid of peace in the north? ”

The princess Qingping in the mouth of the queen mother was originally just Zhang Ying, the palace maid of the court, to be honest, her appearance was superior, but because she was poor and had no money to buy roads, she was not selected as a talented person, so she could only be reduced to a palace maid.

When the Murong clan came to worship, the imperial uncle Zhu Shuang proposed to send a nominal princess to the Murong clan to consolidate the relationship.

So the beautiful and outstanding Zhang Ying was selected, and the queen mother was the master of Qingping County, representing the name and relatives of the Zhu family.

Who thinks that the kid of the Murong family has a very high vision, and he retreats without saying anything, the emperor loses face, blames the sin on Zhang Ying, and wants to degrade her as a concubine.

The emperor had not seen Zhang Ying's appearance, but when he heard what Murong said, he thought that Zhang Ying was very bad, but the emperor's uncle Zhu Shuang had seen it beforehand, coveted Zhang Ying, and thought of ways to dissuade the emperor.

Later, he secretly included Zhang Ying and the top nine talents with the best appearance in the palace into the account and became his concubine.

Zhu Shuang's actions humiliated the queen mother, and for the sake of face, she said to the outside world that the emperor had demoted the lord of Qingping County.

The old lady naturally understood the reason, and she didn't break it, and said with Yue: "It was the Queen Mother who lifted Yi'an." She is a weak woman, and she just wants to share her worries for the Zhu room, whether she can make the north peaceful, and it also depends on the creation. ”

"That's true, but Yi'an's beauty is really unparalleled in the world. I have also heard that Uncle Ming, a famous man in the world, said that Yi'an is the most true and good, if such a woman is not satisfied, it means that the kid of the Murong family has a problem with his vision. ”

The Queen Mother's words have affirmed that Yi'an went to make peace.

Zhu Yu listened to the words of the former queen mother lightly, there was no reaction on her face, and until now, the queen mother did not say that she was told to get up, obviously she wanted to deliberately take the opportunity to rectify her.

In fact, it is also very understandable that the Queen Mother and Mrs. Guo are close, and their hearts are towards Mrs. Guo, and the Queen Mother will not like the people that Mrs. Guo hates.

The queen mother glanced at Zhu Xuan, who was not moving in the ground, and was quite surprised, this child from the concubine was not afraid of being born or twisting, and she couldn't see stage fright at all, and if she looked closely, her eyebrows and eyes were still a little similar to her.

If it weren't for Mrs. Guo mentioning the bad of this concubine in advance, the queen mother might still like Zhu Yue.

The Empress Dowager didn't know why she had a hint of pity for Zhu Xuan, and asked lightly: "The mourning family doesn't understand, why is Yi'an willing to go to make peace?" Don't you know that the conditions in the north are harsh? ”

Zhu Xuan bowed and said: "Yi'an understands, but Yi'an also understands that the Zhu family needs to go to the family alone." ”

"Sure enough, he is a reasonable pavilion master, and it is not in vain that the old lady and your mother love you." The Queen Mother did not forget to praise Mrs. Guo, so that the old lady understood the status of Mrs. Guo in her mind, and the old lady went back to treat Mrs. Guo well.

The old lady was just about to respond, and Zhu Yue said first: "Queen Mother, Yi'an is very grateful for the love of the old lady, but the Queen Mother said that the mother doesn't know whether the biological mother or the mother-in-law she refers to?" ”

Zhu Yue suddenly spit out this sentence, which startled the old lady.

The Queen Mother didn't remember that she would ask like this.

The queen mother said lightly: "Naturally, it is your mother-in-law, I heard that the status of the biological mother is so lowly that she can't be on the stage." ”

At the end, I didn't forget to laugh shamefully.

Zhu Xuan's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Then the Queen Mother misunderstood." My mother-in-law never loved Yi'an, and Yi'an couldn't feel the love of my mother-in-law, if she really loved her, how could any mother want her daughter to go to a remote place and kiss? ”

The queen mother stared at her with her mouth stammered, but the woman was not shocked, and she looked like she was at home, which was confusing.

The old lady was too frightened to know what to say.

Although what Yi'an said was the truth, what was the use of telling the Queen Mother about this kind of thing, the Queen Mother and Mrs. Guo were from the same family, even if she wanted to complain, she could only tell the old lady.

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Nonsense! It seems that it is right to let you go and kiss! ”

Zhu Yue said truthfully: "Yi'an is willing to kiss, and I won't forget the old lady's love for Yi'an, but my mother-in-law, forget it, she didn't treat me as a daughter in the first place, I just told the truth." There is no deception. ”

The queen mother didn't expect that her face still didn't change, she was shocked, stood up from the couch, and looked down at Zhu Yue.

Where is this like the cowardly and incompetent concubine that Mrs. Guo said!

The old lady broke the deadlock and said: "Yi'an, don't talk about family affairs in front of the Queen Mother, today the Queen Mother is discussing peace with you." ”

Yi'an understood. Listen to the teachings of the Queen Mother and the old lady. Zhu Yue said again.

After this incident, the Queen Mother had a new understanding of Zhu Yue.

Although she hates her very much, I have to admit that Zhu Yue is not afraid of danger and dares to speak the truth, which is quite a bit of the demeanor of the queen mother when she was a daughter-in-law in the face of people who hurt her.

The Queen Mother didn't say a word, admiring in her heart but not showing a trace on her face.

Looking at her ability to bend and stretch, a smile crossed the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, a palace maid beside the Queen Mother walked over with a red sandalwood buckle inlaid with jade.

The queen mother sat down and waved her hand, which made Zhu Xuan get up.

Zhu Yue's knees were a little sore, and he couldn't help but secretly pinch his knees with his hands and regained consciousness.

A small palace maid next to her brought a soft couch, and the queen mother motioned for her to sit down.

Seeing this, the old lady put her mind at ease, the queen mother did not exert her authority, in fact, what could she do, and her relatives were imminent, and her relatives could not be punished again.

The palace maid opened the red sandalwood box, and a red gold phoenix hairpin shone brightly.

The queen mother took out the phoenix hairpin and said: "This is specially called the enamel of the mourning family, only this one, the phoenix hairpin is not something that can be worn casually, this one will be rewarded for you to wear." On the 10th auspicious day of the zodiac at the beginning of the next month, it is suitable to go out. ”

As he spoke, he inserted the phoenix hairpin into Yi'an's bun with his own hands.

Zhu Yue thanked and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for the reward." ”

"Okay, let's send the old lady and the pavilion master back." The queen mother's pleasant face just now was accepted again.

The two palace maids cautiously stepped out and respectfully led the two grandparents out.

Halfway through, a group of eunuchs and palace maids in front of them came to this side with a dragon, and the old lady and Yi'an retreated to the side to make way.

A group of people approached noisily and were about to pass by, when suddenly the person sitting on the dragon bowl hurriedly stopped.

"Who is this palace maid? How come I've never seen such a peugeot palace maid in Tongquetai. The man sitting on the dragon belt spoke.

The old lady and Yi'an looked at each other, it was the emperor who was talking.

The leading palace maid on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the Yi'an Pavilion Master of Concubine Du and Prince Pei." ”

The emperor was surprised: "How come I have never heard of my cousin being so good-looking, it's a pity to let such a beautiful cousin and kiss." As he spoke, he asked people to drive away.

Zhu Yue waited for them to leave before following the old lady out again.

The carriage drove away from the palace gate, and the old lady lifted the curtain to take a look, very reluctant.

Ban Yan lowered the curtain and asked, "Yi'an, I know that what your mother did to you is very excessive, but it is enough for you to be safe and sound." There is only one month in the house, so don't hold grudges anymore. ”

The old lady spoke sincerely and persuaded her.

Yi'an bit his lip lightly and said: "Grandmother, last time I went to Shuiyue Nunnery, I met bad people on the road, those people were bent on putting me to death, saying that someone bought my life, but fortunately I met a good person who saved me, and after the villain was arrested, it was said that it was Liu Mazi who instigated it, that time we went along the vine and caught Liu Mazi, Liu Mazi was instructed by a Wu Pozi, someone spent five thousand taels of silver to buy my life, but unfortunately my life was over." Then in Suigetsu-an, someone set fire to me again. It's a pity that I was brought back to life. I've been dead two or three times that time. ”

The old lady Nahan, she had never heard of these things, how could poor Yi'an encounter these things.

Yi'an said again: "Old lady, Liu Mazi confessed that it was Mrs. Wu who gave 5,000 taels to buy my life. I can only think of my mother-in-law. My grandmother didn't like me, but I couldn't believe that she was bent on letting me die. But if it weren't for my luck, the old lady would not be able to see me now, and I would no longer exist in this world. ”

The old lady hugged her and sighed, "I didn't expect such a vicious thing to be done." ”

"So the old lady asked me to live peacefully with my mother-in-law, not because I didn't want to, but because it was impossible." Zhu Yue snuggled in her grandmother's arms and said lightly.

She has already opened up, lost the person she likes, lost everything, and wants to go to a distant unknown place, what is she afraid of.

What's more, her heart has become firm.

If Uncle Zhao asked her to kill the enemy again, she would definitely not be like a coward.

The old lady hugged her tightly and sighed, "Son, you have suffered. ”

"But if it weren't for the love of the old lady, I wouldn't be alive now." Zhu Xuan lightly stated the facts that had long been known.

It's just that this fact has never been mentioned on the table, it is hidden in the depths of the heart, and everyone still has to work the face. But Yi'an has now ruthlessly tore up Guo Fu's face, and the old lady's hidden worries and suspicions have only been verified. (To be continued.) )
