Chapter 102: Self-Knowledge
Zhuang Zhao went back to the side hall and sat for a while, but he was still a little relieved, so he asked Bai Ling to see if the Empress Dowager had left.
Bai Ling came back and said: "The old lady is gone, it's just ......" She wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Zhao looked over, and Bai Ling said with some embarrassment: "Zhou Ronghua is waiting outside the palace gate." ”
Zhuang Zhao said after a while, "Then forget it, Baicha, bring the chessboard, let's play chess." ”
The wind outside whined and blew, and it sounded louder and louder. The attendants of the temple hurriedly closed the windows.
Zhuang Zhao glanced at the sky, frowned and said: "This day is cloudy like swimming ink, there must be a heavy snowstorm, Zhou Ronghua hasn't gone back yet?" The latter sentence was asked by Bai Ling.
Bai Ling walked to the window and took a look, and the thin figure was still standing in front of the door.
"Not yet, she's too dead-eyed."
"Be careful!" Bai Cha scolded: "How can she say that she is also the master, how can she speak?" ”
"Slaves deserve to die." Bai Ling hurriedly bent his knees to plead guilty.
Zhuang Zhao smiled faintly, "That's it, you take my big red feather veil and white fox fur to Zhou Ronghua, and pass me another word: Please be careful about her body." ”
"The slave obeys." Bai Ling was a little reluctant to look for clothes.
Bai Cha put away the chessboard and said, "Bai Ling is not usually such a personality, but now it's strange, meeting Zhou Ronghua is like eating gunpowder." ”
Zhuang Zhao took a sip of tea and said casually: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"It's just weird." Bai Cha laughed, "There is one more thing that the master has to know." ”
She whispered a few words in Zhuang Zhao's ear.
Zhuang Zhao stroked the hand of the teacup, "Could it be her?" ”
"Master?" Bai Cha shouted suspiciously.
"Do you remember when I quarreled with the emperor?" Zhuang Zhao's eyes flashed a little clear, "The emperor actually knows the name of Senior Brother Liang. At that time, I thought it was strange that when I was talking to my mother, the people who served in the temple were trustworthy, and I didn't know who was his eyes and ears. Now it seems that most of them are Bailing. She smiled and shook her head, "I should have thought of such an outstanding person." ”
After she finished speaking, she realized that her attitude towards this matter was so inconsistent twice.
The humiliation of being suspected seems to have long since vanished.
She chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"Niangniang, the minion pen and ink, ask to see Niangniang." Pen and ink said loudly outside.
"Come in." She answered.
Penmo came in to greet her, Zhuang Zhao smiled: "Why are there so many courtesies, just come in directly in the future." White tea, give him a cup of hot tea to warm up. ”
Bimo took a sip of hot tea, which warmed up from his mouth to his body, and he smiled and said, "Thank you for your reward." I didn't dare to drink Niangniang's tea in vain, and the slave came to tell Niangniang. The emperor just took a nap and woke up just now, did the mother go over to say goodbye? ”
It seems that he came here on his own initiative.
Zhuang Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's okay, wait for me to change my clothes." ”
She changed into a red jacket skirt with golden begonias, covered with a scarlet felt cloak, and her jade face was hidden behind the cloak, looking extremely fair.
On the way, I happened to meet Bai Ling coming back.
"You've worked hard, go back and rest," Zhuang Zhao's pretty eyebrows loomed behind the cloak, "Everything has been accepted, right?" ”
"Mother's reward, Zhou Ronghua dare not resign." Bai Ling replied and said: "The slave and maid are not tired, let the slave and maid follow and serve the mother." ”
"Hey, hey, you're so diligent, it looks like I'm lazy." Bai Cha laughed at her, "It's really a hard work!" If you want to rest, you can go, I'm here. ”
Bai Ling had no choice but to respond.
Zhou Caiwei stood in the snow with a personal maid, gathered the cloak on her body from time to time, and blew hot air on her hands.
The little eunuch standing by the door couldn't bear to come over and persuade her several times, but she smiled and shook her head and thanked her, but asked her maid Xiao Zhu to rest under the porch, but Xiao Zhu said that she would not say anything.
Several times, the little eunuch stopped talking, but sighed a few times behind his back.
"The concubine is auspicious."
The little eunuch shouted in his voice, Zhou Caiwei moved her somewhat numb feet, and reluctantly saluted: "The concubine has seen the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine is auspicious." ”
"Get up."
Seeing that the blush stopped in front of her, Zhou Caiwei lowered her head more and more.
"Zhou Ronghua come with me." Her warbler voice is tactful, even if she has heard it a few times, at first glance, it is still amazing.
Although Bai Cha disagreed, since it was the master's idea, she would never dare to speak out against it.
originally thought that Zhou Caiwei would agree soon, but she actually shook her head and refused.
"It's cold outside, mother, please come in. If the emperor wants to see his concubines, the concubines will naturally have the opportunity to meet the saints. If the emperor doesn't want to see the concubines, even if the concubines borrow the light of the mother, it will be useless. ”
The most important reason, she can't say.
People in the palace said that she looked like a concubine. She is not blind, people can see it, and she can naturally see it.
So what?
As long as she can be favored, no matter what the reason is, it's all her ability.
That's how she's always comforted herself.
But she also knew that these words were just whitewashing her face and finding an excuse for her embarrassment.
Today, if she and the concubine go in together, with the concubine Zhuyu by her side, can the emperor still see her?
She stood here for a long time, and what she wanted was never such a result.
No matter whether the concubine made this suggestion unintentionally or deliberately, she couldn't agree!
Zhuang Zhao saw that she was resolute, so he went with her.
