Chapter 240: Counterattack (3)
was reminded by Xu Ziguiyi, the Queen Mother nodded lightly and instructed the grandmother
"Since you're here, please come in."
The tone was no longer as joyful as the previous when the eldest princess of Linhai came to see her.
The eldest princess of Linhai is the daughter of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother naturally doesn't know that it is just because of the festival between Xu Zigui and Ji Mingyue.
The Empress Dowager's attitude changed so much just because of the alliance between the Wei Palace's palace and the sixth prince, Concubine De.
Not to mention that although Xu Zigui did not explicitly say that Ji Mingyue injured someone in the Xishan Courtyard of the Six Princes, he also secretly hinted a little. At this time, Concubine De heard the news, so she first went to the eldest princess of Linhai, and they stepped into her Cining Palace to find trouble with Xu Zigui. In this way, even if Xu Zigui just hinted that it is not obvious, the Empress Dowager can see that she is a little famous.
Xu Zigui secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, and saw that the Queen Mother was really in a bad mood, and knew in his heart that the hard work he and Mo Leyuan had worked in the past few days had not been in vain, and finally made the eldest princess of Linhai and Ji Mingyue think that the two of them were not simple, and this matter took root in the heart of the Queen Mother.
The eldest princess of Linhai didn't know what was going on, but when she came in, she also felt the subtlety of the atmosphere, and after giving the queen mother a blessing, she stopped making a sound, and only waited for Xu Zigui to salute her, and then stood aside and waited for the queen mother to speak.
The eldest princess of Linhai was thoughtful, knowing that Xu Zigui must have said everything that should be said and not said after staying here for a while, and she was not in a hurry to speak, so she only stood with her daughter on the side, waiting for the queen mother to speak first.
The reason for Qin Siyuan's matter was discovered by Mo Leyuan, and when the Wu family entered the palace. Mo Leyuan followed the queen to Fengqi Palace, which can be regarded as leaving time for the queen mother and Xu Zigui to be alone, so that Xu Zigui can complete things as planned.
Since then, the people who have stayed in this Cining Palace are some people who are quite calm. For a while, no one spoke first.
The masters did not speak, and none of the servants in the house dared to speak, and the little maids did not even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of making the masters unhappy and angry with them.
In this way, the room fell silent for a while.
"The mourning family is tired, Gui'er, you help the mourning family to rest."
The Queen Mother was obviously a little more angry because of the silence of the eldest princess of Linhai, and she couldn't bear it anymore at the moment. But he directly took Xu Zigui's hand from his position and went to the inner room.
"Queen Mother!"
The eldest princess of Linhai has always protected Ji Mingyue behind her. Slightly revealing a protective posture, it is clear that the attitude will not make any regressions. Seeing that the Queen Mother was really angry, the eldest princess of Linhai didn't dare to play petty anymore, so she hurriedly pulled Ji Mingyue. Pulled his daughter out from behind him
"Mingyue was ignorant and accidentally injured the maid of the county lord of Yunjin. Erchen specially brought Mingyue to make amends to the lord of Yunjin County this time. ”
With the words of the eldest princess of the sea. Ji Mingyue also immediately knelt down in the direction of Xu Zigui: "I was wrong to hurt your maid that day, and you also injured my maid afterwards, so the two of us can be considered even." It's better to let this matter pass. ”
The tone is very arrogant.
Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ji Mingyue quietly, and sneered in his heart, knowing that the eldest princess of Linhai was retreating, and Ji Mingyue had a reputation for being domineering since she entered Beijing, if she really cried and apologized to herself, it was really better to be like this now, with a face full of grievances and a stubborn face and unwilling to apologize, but because of the eldest princess of Linhai and the queen mother, she had to bow her head and admit her mistake. Since then, the Queen Mother must only be distressed when she sees it, where will there be any resentment.
Xu Zigui hooked the corners of his mouth quietly, and immediately knelt down. The expressions on her face were no different from those of Ji Mingyue, all of whom looked unwilling to be aggrieved out of force.
"Princess, what are you doing? The princess really tormented the courtiers, how could the courtiers kneel like the princess? Besides, the maid of the courtiers is a cheap life, how can it compare to the dignity of serving the princess? It's the courtier's fault, the courtier's shouldn't have tortured the maid next to the princess. ”
The tone was even more aggrieved and dissatisfied, although it seemed like irony, but to the Queen Mother's ears, it was more like Xu Zigui had to admit her mistakes with Ji Mingyue in order not to embarrass her.
Thinking about it like this, the Queen Mother softened her heart a lot, and she was not angry Xu Zigui knelt at the palace gate to make a big deal about it.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's eyes were becoming more and more gentle when she looked at Xu Zigui, Concubine De couldn't help but be secretly anxious in her heart, and after looking at the eldest princess of Linhai for a few times, Concubine De had some ideas in her heart. Concubine Zhude looked at Xu Zigui and said with a faint expression
"I heard that the lord of Yunjin County knelt at the gate of the palace all night for this matter? It doesn't matter if the county lord of Yunjin kneels, but he knelt down and made two sins! ”
Saying that, Concubine De sneered before continuing: "First, the county lord of Yunjin is the county lord, but now he doesn't even want his reputation for a maid, this palace didn't expect you to have such a deep relationship with the minions serving beside you!" ”
After that, he sneered and looked at Xu Zigui for a while, and then continued: "Second, it's just a matter of a minion, but you disturbed the Queen Mother's rest for such a trivial matter, what kind of system!" ”
At the end of Concubine De's words, even her voice rose. The Queen Mother listened to Concubine De's words, and she was angry, but her face was still not obvious, and she didn't even bother to give her a look, but just said lightly
"What is the danger of adding sin? Unfortunately, Gui'er came here today to make amends to the mourning family, not to disturb the mourning family for a slave like you said! ”
After the queen mother said that, Xu Zigui then spoke: "The courtiers were angry and injured the right-hand man beside Princess Mingyue, and this time she calmed down and naturally came to make amends......"
"Then why don't you go to my princess's mansion to make amends, and go to the queen mother to do something!"
Without waiting for Xu Zigui to finish speaking, Ji Mingyue interrupted Xu Zigui's words arrogantly, looking at Xu Zigui with a provocative look, but his eyes were clear, without the slightest confusion.
Xu Zigui looked at Ji Mingyue meaningfully for a long time before he opened his mouth with a face full of grievances
"The courtier's injury violates the queen mother's previous diligent teaching to the courtier's true and kind, so she naturally wants to come to the mother to make amends, but the princess, if you hurt someone, didn't you think about coming to ask the mother for sin?"
Xu Zigui said something, firstly, indirectly like the Queen Mother explained why she did this, and on the other hand, it was also to directly break Ji Mingyue's practice of only pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to retreat to attract the Queen Mother's sympathy, so that the Queen Mother decided that it was all Ji Mingyue's fault.
"You!"
Xu Zigui is used to playing cards not according to common sense, Ji Mingyue has long been used to it, but this time Xu Zigui asked like this, she didn't know how to reply. simply continued to pretend to be arrogant and domineering to look at Xu Zigui, and when he was about to continue to speak, there were palace people who opened the curtain and came in to spread the word, saying that the four princesses and concubines came to ask the queen mother to come here.
Hearing that the people in the palace said that it was Zheng Jiaying and Shao Qingyuan, Xu Zigui hooked a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth.
Now, everyone is here. (To be continued.) )
