The one hundred and sixteenth round
Yi Feiyuan was still waiting for the Empress Dowager Sun to praise her two sentences, but as soon as the Empress Dowager opened her golden mouth, she belittled the story she told, and immediately scolded her in a daze.
She originally thought that someone was dissatisfied with her telling this story, and that person must be Mrs. Zuo Xiang, even if she told it well, she would be angry with her for hiding her secrets, and if she didn't tell Cui Qijun this good story, she would definitely pick out a few thorns to scold her for being angry.
But I never imagined that it was the Empress Dowager Sun who jumped out first, pointed at her nose and scolded her for this story is unkind and unfilial, and corrupts people's hearts!
She didn't know the reason for this, as soon as the two old ladies heard that the Empress Dowager Sun had such a fire, they suddenly remembered that the Empress Dowager Sun was also a stepmother. Although she was never supported by the first emperor to be the queen, but later her son Emperor Lin De was named the queen mother regardless of the ancestral system, which can be regarded as a reluctant support, and can be regarded as the stepmother of Prince Xianyide.
And this queen mother is really not very good to the two county kings of Prince Yide's lineage, King Yingchuan and King Linchuan, compared with Mrs. Zuo Xiang, the two stepmothers are really half a catty, and they are not philanthropic people. No wonder this story made their hearts burn, Empress Dowager Sun had just finished scolding, and Mrs. Zuo Xiang also took over the conversation and counted Yi Fei.
"Miss Zhao's story is not only unfilial piety as the Queen Mother said, but also immoral. The sage has a cloud: 'Men and women do not kiss', how can a young man and woman hold hands before they get married, and dance together, it is too immoral! You, a lady who hasn't been out of the cabinet yet, think about something all day long, so that you can have such a โกโก dream at night, and you just tell it in public, it really โโ, me don't know what to say about you! โ
Xiangcheng and Gan Tang stood behind Cai Wei, listening to Empress Dowager Sun and Mrs. Zuo Xiang scolding Zhao Yifei to the point that one on the left was guilty and the other on the right was not, and their hearts were really refreshed. As early as when Yifei was telling the story, the two of them were unhappy.
I think these five girls are really shameless, and they really bought the little girl Wan'er in the Qiutang Courtyard, and stole the story of their girls to tell, but they told it so cheesily, think about how gorgeous and moving the words can be when their own girls tell this story to a few of them, and the writing is brilliant, how can it all change the taste in Yifei's mouth.
These two girls saw that Rao is Yifei was so vulgar, but they still attracted everyone to listen attentively with the novelty and excitement of the story itself, and they really wanted their girls to tell this story to them again, so that their eyes could widen again.
In fact, they were still a little puzzled at first, such a rare and rarely known foreign story, why didn't the girl keep it for herself, but deliberately revealed it to Yifei, and only then did she understand her girl's wisdom when she saw Yifei being scolded. It turns out that this story will touch such a mold, so it is better to let the limelight go to the five girls, and they don't mind it at all.
Yi Fei saw that the Empress Dowager Sun and Mrs. Zuo Xiang had buttoned a big hat for her, one was more powerful than the other, and they were all able to suppress her so much that she couldn't turn over anymore, so she was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she knelt on the ground and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, this story is actually not a dream of the little girl, but ...... But the little girl once heard a female ancestor say, the little girl is for, in order to make a mystery, so she lied that she dreamed about it, and asked the Queen Mother to forgive her sins! โ
Although lying is not a glorious thing, it is much better to tell this story from someone else than to be told that it is unscrupulous and immoral.
Empress Dowager Sun's eyes narrowed, "Listen to what the female ancestor said?" Why hasn't this palace heard such a strange story told by a female ancestor? โ
Yi Fei kowtowed again and again: "The little girl doesn't dare to lie anymore, what she says now, every sentence is true, this story is really a female ancestor from the south told me, she said that she also heard a missionary from Zealand, saying that this story is a household name in Sealand, and everyone knows it." How can such a bizarre story be dreamed of by dreaming alone? It was all the fault of the little girl before, and she just wanted to be different, so she lied and begged the queen mother for forgiveness! โ
Cui Qijun, who was sitting on the side, heard this, and couldn't help but want to stand up and angrily accuse Zhao Yifei of lying again, where is this story told by a female ancestor, it is clearly the story she got from Zhou Caiwei yesterday, she actually dared to be selfish and not tell herself, she took it out and used it herself, and she didn't want to think about who she relied on to be qualified to run for the princess, and she wanted to fly solo before her wings were hard, she was really a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be fed!
When Mrs. Zuo Xiang saw that her daughter was going to be unable to hold her breath, she hurriedly gave her eyes to the maids standing behind her, and asked them to hold Cui Qijun, and she herself preemptively said: "Even if this story is not your dream, but you shouldn't lie and deceive people in the first place, and deliberately deceive the Queen Mother." The second is that this story is really a story that everyone in Sealand knows, but this kind of story that does not conform to the rules and regulations of our court, why do you want to tell it again and pollute our ears? Your story, based on these two points alone, can't even get a rating! โ
Empress Dowager Sun nodded and said: "What Mrs. Zuo Xiang said is reasonable, and this palace also feels that this story does not even deserve a comment." โ
She also deliberately glanced at Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Mrs. Dingxi Houtai and said, "I heard that I still had the intention to say that this Miss Zhao family was given to Mrs. Xihou as his wife, this is what you like?" I see, the old lady still has the wisdom to know people, and she didn't want such unfilial and immoral people to be her daughter-in-law.
As soon as the two old ladies heard the Empress Dowager Sun's words, although they thought that this story was good, fresh and interesting, and rewarded good and punished evil, but because they knew that Yifei had poked the sore spot of the Empress Dowager Sun, look at what the Empress Dowager said later, she got a comment from the Empress Dowager that she was not filial and immoral, but I am afraid that Zhao Yifei will not be able to marry in the future.
Since the Empress Dowager Sun didn't like her, they couldn't do it against the Empress Dowager for the sake of a concubine from the Bofu, so they didn't even give a comment.
However, Concubine Yingchuan said fairly, "Actually, if you talk about this story alone, it is excellent, I have never heard such a wonderful story." After all, a country has its own customs, and such a foreign place will not understand the rules of etiquette as I do in such a country of etiquette. But it is true that as the Queen Mother and Mrs. Zuo Xiang said, there is still something wrong with this story, and it is not appropriate to tell it like this. โ
So, at the last hurdle where Yifei originally had high hopes, she didn't even get a single comment, and she was scolded by the Queen Mother and Mrs. Zuo Xiang so notorious that she quit miserably.
She looked at Zhou Caiwei who was walking to the hall, and she couldn't wait to rush up and push her to the ground, kick her twice, and then tell everyone, but in fact, this story was told by Zhou Caiwei to her, and Zhou Caiwei was the one who was morally corrupt. If she hadn't spoken out in front of Zhou Caiwei, she would have been scolded by the Queen Mother and Mrs. Zuo Xiang.
But what if she said it? Will anyone still believe her? Besides, this story that made the Queen Mother extremely unhappy was not told by Zhou Caiwei in public, and saying it would only make her add one more shameful charge of plagiarizing other people's stories, but it would not damage Zhou Caiwei's fur.
The only thing that can comfort her now is that she has told the story that Zhou Caiwei intends to tell first, and she has carried a black pot for her, this time she wants to see what other stories Zhou Caiwei can tell. Although she knows that this cousin is very good at storytelling, but there are few wonderful and wonderful stories like this "Miss Xin", I think she knows very little!
Empress Dowager Sun frowned and looked at Zhou Caiwei standing in the hall, and suddenly asked: "You and the little girl of the Zhao family are both from the same mansion, shouldn't you have heard a few strange foreign stories from the mouth of that female ancestor?" "Don't let this girl open her mouth and tell a story about a vicious stepmother to continue to disgust her.
"Back to the Queen Mother, Cai Wei has never seen the female ancestor that Cousin Zhao said, so naturally she has never heard any stories she has said." Cai Wei told the truth.
"Then you mean that your cousin is lying again, and there is no such female ancestor from the south in your mansion?" Empress Dowager Sun always felt that Zhao Yifei didn't have a word of truth in her mouth, although this story was bizarre, maybe the stinky girl deliberately made it up to disgust her.
Cai Wei glanced at Yi Fei, and saw that she was trembling with fright, so she smiled at her deliberately and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the people's daughter only came to Anyuanbo's Mansion more than three years ago, and I think that Cousin Zhao listened to the story told by the daughter before that, and the people didn't know it. โ
Yi Fei didn't want Cai Wei to cover it up for her, so she hurriedly stood up and nodded, "Sister Wei is right, that girl came to our house five years ago to tell the story, so she hasn't seen it." โ
Empress Dowager Sun glared at her again, "You remember the story of five years ago clearly!" Is it really memorable? โ
Yi Fei didn't dare to say anything more, seeing that Empress Dowager Sun didn't let her sit down, she had to continue to pestle there upright, so she was not embarrassed.
Cai Wei seemed to want to return Yifei's innocence, and continued: "Queen Mother, in fact, what my cousin told is indeed a story that everyone in Sealand knows. Five years ago, when I went back to Fujian with my father to worship my ancestors, I met a missionary from Sealand, my father heard from him and came back to tell me, I thought it was very strange, but my father said that this is nothing, as early as more than a thousand years ago, when the Western Qin, my dynasty had a similar story to this, and it is even more exciting! โ
Duchess Wei Guo was originally envious of the wonderful and moving foreign stories, and suddenly compared all the stories of this dynasty that she knew, and suddenly heard Cai Wei say that such stories existed in this dynasty more than a thousand years ago, and hurriedly asked: "You are true, then what is our story called, and how do you say it?" โ
Cai Wei said: "I tell this story called "Ye Limit"* It is about the daughter of a cave master in the Han Dynasty who was also treated harshly by her stepmother because her parents died, and the only comfort was that she raised a goldfish, which would never come out unless Ye Limit came to feed it. I don't want even this goldfish to be tricked out by her stepmother to put on Ye Quan's clothes and kill it, and eat the fish clean. Ye Liang was crying bitterly by the pool, and suddenly an immortal descended from the sky, instructed her to find the fish bone, and said that if she needs it, she only needs to pray for the fish gear, and she will have it as she wants. โ
"Later, one day to a local festival in their area, Ye Limit because of the fish bones, so after his mother left, Yi Cui spun the shirt, tiptoed gold shoes, also went to participate in the festival, did not want to be recognized by her sister, hurriedly rushed to the house, left a gold shoe, for the neighboring island of the Tuo Khanate, because none of the women in the country can fit it, all over the adjacent caves, and finally get the leaf limit, the leaf limit because of the clothes and green spinning clothes, tiptoe in, if the color is like a heavenly man, the beginning of the matter to the king, the king to the leaf limit as the wife, carrying the fish bone and the leaf limit both returned to the country."
In fact, Cai Wei didn't say a word, the stepmother and daughter in this story were directly stoned to death by flying stones, where can there be a life. Because she didn't say this, and she didn't let Ye Quan's immoral Lord of the Hetuo Khanate dance hand in hand, although Empress Dowager Sun and Mrs. Zuo Xiang were disgusted by the story of this vicious stepmother again, they couldn't find any thorns to discipline her.
Empress Dowager Sun said in a deep voice: "Could it be that this is the story you plan to tell in this level?" Young, why so much nonsense? Seeing that it's almost time, why don't you tell your own story, what are you talking about here? โ
