Chapter 267
Although Concubine Sun Huang was not directly rejected by Mama Ma like Princess Cui, she entered the Changqiu Pavilion in the end, but she was greeted by the top and bottom of the Changqiu Pavilion who were waiting for her as if she were facing a great enemy, except for one person, the woman who should have been the most afraid when she saw her - Zhou Caiwei.
"Yo, isn't it possible that the face of this palace is blossoming and bearing fruit? Why are you all staring at this palace one by one? Do whatever you have to do, this palace is just here to string out the door, look at my nephew and daughter-in-law, look at you all so nervous, it's really rare and weird! Sun Xuemei said, and no one needed to greet her, she had already twisted her waist to the top and sat down.
Mama Ma saw that she only brought four palace maids with her, so she glanced at her and let herself retreat two palace maids from her side, leaving only four in the house, plus one of herself.
Cai Wei only glanced at Emperor Sun Guifei, and then hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again, she was afraid that if she looked at it again, if she met the other party's gaze, Sun Xuemei would see the surprise in her eyes.
Because the imperial concubine who appeared in front of her at this time was really surprising. But I haven't seen her for just a few years, how did she suddenly become like this? No matter how heavy the fat powder is, it can't hide the old state on her face, and even the pair of silky eyes that were seductive in the past have lost their former brilliance, and there are a few faint cold lights in a pool of stagnant water.
If Cai Wei's sigh in her heart at this time is that a red apricot that was still laughing in the spring breeze on the branches yesterday suddenly withered into a remnant flower and a lost leaf, which shows that youth is fleeting and red face is easy to age.
Then in Sun Xuemei's heart, she was cursing why God didn't have long eyes like this, obviously the woman in front of her was not a little girl anymore, and she was pregnant, but her face was still white and pure, neither haggard, nor did she grow those ugly spots that she had been pregnant, and she was still a big beauty, and even compared with the bright and fresh when she was a girl in the past, there was a little more maternal beauty of a mature woman.
Why did time also leave traces on her, but it made her more beautiful, but made herself, the first beauty in the capital in the past, the kind of yellow-faced woman she looked down on the most. Yes, if you wash off the fat powder on her face, the face that appears in the mirror is so yellowish and haggard, old and ugly, it is difficult to see that she does not dare to look at it a second time. Since then, even when she sleeps at night, she refuses to wash the fat off her face.
Mama Ma stood aside, watching coldly, seeing that the fire of jealousy and hatred in the eyes of the imperial concubine was burning more and more, and she felt that it was not good, so she saw that Emperor Sun suddenly got up and walked to Cai Wei's side.
"Your body should be six months old, why do you have such a small belly, let the palace touch it, and see if there is fetal movement?" Sun Xuemei said in her mouth, and her hand was already stretched towards Cai Wei's abdomen.
Cai Wei stood up as early as when she walked over, and when she saw that she really wanted to reach out and touch her stomach, how dare she touch it, so she subconsciously hid to the side.
Mama Ma also hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of her, and said boldly: "Imperial concubine, don't forget the instructions of the queen mother!" β
Sun Xuemei slowly withdrew her empty right hand, looked at the long pointed golden armor sleeve on her four fingers, and suddenly pouted and smiled, "Look at you all scared!" Could it be that this palace is the man-eating tiger? β
She twisted her waist and sat down again, leaning on the table with one hand on her cheek, staring at Cai Wei, her eyes flickering, revealing a meaningful but somewhat malicious smile.
"Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, this palace really has no ill will towards you. Even if Bengong didn't like you very much before, but for the sake of the child in your belly, Bengong won't be embarrassed by you. After all, this child in your belly is going to be passed on to my son's name and be my grandson, so I have to let him be born safely into this world, right? Do you say, my good nephew and daughter-in-law? β
Cai Wei was silent, although her heart was already overturned. Passing her and Qin Fei's child to the stupid son born to Sun Xuemei, what does this queen party mean?
According to common sense, if Empress Dowager Sun does not want Qin Min, the heir of Prince Xianyide's name, to succeed to the throne, and wants Qin Fei, the concubine born to her niece Jin, to succeed to the throne, the most straightforward way is to inherit Qin Fei to the name of Emperor Linde and let him change to the lineage of Emperor Linde.
But now Sun Xuemei suddenly said that she would pass on her child to her son, didn't she plan to let Qin Fei pass on to Emperor Lin De? Because he did not succeed Qin Fei as the heir of Emperor Linde, but he wanted to pass on his eldest son, if his own child was a son, and then he would pass it on.
This Sun Xuemei shouldn't want to pass Qin Fei's son to her son's name, and then set up this grandson as the emperor, but the ancestral system is clear, the prince is under the age of fifteen and cannot be the emperor.
But what Caiwei didn't expect was that she thought it was impossible, but the concubine Sun Huang really thought like this. It's just that she thinks more beautifully, and wants to wait for Cai Wei to give birth to her son, and leave her son to go to her mother, anyway, this woman gives birth to a child, just like passing through the ghost gate, just move a little trick and foot, and let the Zhou family die on the delivery bed unconsciously. At that time, Qin Fei can't find evidence and can't say that she caused the person, but because his son is in her hands, he will come to his palace every day to see him, and when the time comes, ...... As long as she did a little tricking, she didn't believe that she couldn't let her brother climb into her bed.
"My good nephew and daughter-in-law, you have to stay in this Changqiu Pavilion obediently these days, eat and sleep more, so that you can have a baby! This statue of Guanyin is like a great gift from the palace, you have nothing to do with it and pray sincerely in front of the mother of the child, praying that you can give birth to a big fat boy in the palace, because the palace wants a son who can pass on the lineage, but not a useless daughter! β
Emperor Sun finally dropped this sentence and led her four palace maids away.
As soon as Sun Xuemei left, Mama Ma heard Zhou Caiwei's β‘β‘, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said in a panic: "Princess, what's wrong with you?" But just ...... Got a tire? β
Cai Wei said weakly: "I'm a little dizzy, and ask Mama to help me go in and lie down." β
Mama Ma and the two big palace maids carefully helped her into the inner room, and Cai Wei found two excuses at random, and sent the two big palace maids out one after another, but left Mama Ma behind.
"I thought that Mama was just ordered by the Queen Mother to come to take care of me, but I didn't expect that Mama would take care of me so much, as if she was concerned about my safety in her heart?"
Cai Wei leaned on the head of the bed, although her words were slow and logical, she was full of energy, her eyes were burning, and she still had the weak appearance of being dizzy when she was powerless to shout and dizzy.
Seeing that she fell into someone else's place, Mama Ma's first reaction was not angry, but a feeling of relief, fortunately this princess was fine, otherwise if something really happened today, then she really couldn't eat and walked around.
Cai Wei saw that Mama Ma only cared about wiping her sweat, but did not answer her own questions, and simply went straight to the point. "Now that you have been seen by me, why do you care so much about me, except for the order of the Empress Dowager Sun, who else do you obey?"
If she just took care of herself according to Empress Dowager Sun's instructions, she would never be as nervous as Sun Xuemei when she came to provoke, as long as she guaranteed that she could give birth to the child safely, she would have completed the task given to her by Empress Dowager Sun. What's more, with her weight in the mind of the Empress Dowager Sun, even if she can't complete this task, I'm afraid that the punishment she will receive will not be too terrible, so why should she be so nervous when she faces the slightest threat?
Mama Ma couldn't hide it, so she had to say: "Don't get me wrong, princess, in fact, His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan ordered me to take good care of you in this palace, and I won't let you have any mistakes!" β
Cai Wei said in disbelief: "Aren't you the Queen Mother?" When did you hear from your Highness again? β
Mama Ma hurriedly said: "In fact, a long time ago, the old slave served His Royal Highness once, and when he taught the princess in Uncle Anyuan's mansion, he listened to His Royal Highness's words and took care of the princess. β
Cai Wei immediately remembered that Mama Gui, who had rubbed her the hardest at that time, suddenly broke her leg, and then Mama Rong and Mama Ma didn't dare to toss her anymore and were polite to her......
It turned out that this was because of Qin Fei, before he didn't marry him, how many times did he secretly help himself, and how many times did he save himself?
Mama Ma stole a glance at Cai Wei's expression, and said, "We were still wondering at the time, wondering why this King of Linchuan was in chargeβuh...... When it comes to the princess, don't have any thoughts about the princess at that time, but in the end, she really married the princess back like robbing her relatives! β
"Mama, don't talk away, will you be able to serve His Highness at that time? As far as I know, the family members and friends of the palace people around the Queen Mother were all held in the hands of the people in black clothes, you just wanted to serve my Royal Highness at that time, but you didn't dare, right? β
Mama Ma sneered: "The princess is really as wise as a torch!" In fact, at that time, they were frightened by Qin Fei's pretending to be a ghost, and at that time, they didn't know if it was the ghost of King Linchuan, or if Qin Fei found her this time, she knew the previous situation.
"Actually, the old slave also served His Highness just a month ago. My family was left with my brother and sister-in-law's family, and as a result, they fled from Yanjing to Jinling, and then fled from Jinling to Yunnan, my brother and sister-in-law died of illness on the road, leaving only one nephew, but when I was about to arrive in Yunnan, I encountered a group of robbers to rob the queen mother's private money, and my nephew was also taken away. I thought he was no longer alive, but I didn't want to be saved by His Highness...... and then threatened her with her nephew's life.
"Do you think I'll believe you if you say that?" Cai Wei said quietly.
Mama Ma had no choice but to take out a letter from her arms and hand it to Cai Wei. "This is what His Royal Highness entrusted me to give to the princess, and I said that the princess would know it when she saw it."
In fact, Mama Ma had secretly opened this letter, but she looked left and right at the things written on the piece of paper, horizontally and vertically, and couldn't tell what was written on it.
She saw that Cai Wei was stunned after reading the ghost drawing talisman on the paper, and couldn't help asking, "Princess Niangniang, what is written in this letter?" β
"This is not a letter, it's just a piano score, it's a token that has been agreed with my Highness a long time ago, if someone in the palace takes this token to see me, it can prove that she is indeed a person who works for His Highness."
This letter is indeed a piano score, but it is a piano score with secret words, except for telling her a few palace maids and eunuchs arranged by Mama Ma in the palace, only one sentence is written at the end: "Be careful in everything, don't make promises." Before August, we will welcome you back! β
But Cai Wei said this is pure nonsense, when she left Quanzhou, Qin Fei didn't mention to her that she would find someone in the palace to help her, it is estimated that Qin Fei did it when she was on the road. She deliberately said that it was an appointment between their husband and wife, but seeing that this Mama Ma was a little dishonest, she didn't take out Qin Fei's letter to her as soon as possible, so she pretended that she already knew, so that she could knock on this old woman.
"Mama Ma-" Cai Wei looked at her coldly and said, "You have been waiting by my side for three days, but why don't you take the initiative to bring this token to me, if I don't ask, I'm afraid you won't take it out, right?" β
"Do you know why His Highness didn't tell me that this is a token of my agreement with him? Just take this opportunity to see if you are honestly doing things for him, instead of trying to play some tricks? β
Mama Ma was so frightened that she knelt down with a puff, regretting it in her heart, the king of Linchuan is not easy to mess with, I didn't expect this princess of Linchuan to be so powerful, this couple is really a perfect match.
"The princess forgives her sins, the old slave is also afraid that Jin Lian and Jin Ying will keep an eye on them, in case you know the true identity of the old slave, if they see it in your words and deeds, wouldn't it be ......?"
"Mama is too worried," Cai Weiwan smiled, "Those two big palace maids, like Mama, were specially arranged for me by His Royal Highness." β
This time, Mama Ma opened her mouth wide and was completely speechless.
Seeing this, Cai Wei continued to deceive her. "But although the two of them are big palace maids, they can't be compared with Mama in the end, after all, Mama often waits by the Queen Mother's side, and she always knows more than the two palace maids!"
Mama Ma trembled in her heart, she refused to give the letter to Cai Wei for a long time, because she was worried that once she revealed that she was coerced by the king of Linchuan to keep her safe, she would be asked by the princess about a bunch of letters about the Empress Dowager Sun. She didn't want to be offended on both sides, she just wanted both sides not to be offended.
But this King of Linchuan was too treacherous, and while threatening her nephew's life, he also promised her that he only wanted her to help take care of his daughter-in-law, and would not ask her to be his spy and find out the news of the Empress Dowager Sun from her, so she agreed. Who would have thought that this Qin Fei's words didn't count, he had already colluded with his daughter-in-law, he β‘β‘ his face, let his daughter-in-law sing in white, and took her to death, so that he could make a wrong step, a wrong step, and just got on the thief ship, and he couldn't get off again.
But now, there is no turning back arrow from the bow, and it has been pinched by someone for seven inches, and it has been forced to this, so let's take care of this head first!
"The princess has won the award, my wife is deaf and blind, what can I know! However, if the mother asks, the old slave must know everything and say everything. β
"Okay, then let me ask you, why did Emperor Sun Guifei say that she wanted to pass the child in her womb to her son's name?"
"This, the old slave doesn't know much either......"
"Mama Ma," Cai Wei said coldly, "I'm giving you one last chance, don't think I don't know anything?" Let's just talk about the biggest secret in this palace - the saint has long since died, but I knew about it months ago......"
When Mama Ma heard that even such a big secret matter, the princess knew about it, and it seemed that she was really not a foolish master, so she had to say with a smile: "I didn't dare to say it, but I was afraid that it would be involved in this secret matter, since the princess already knew about it, the old slave just said it." β
"There is some news about this, and the old slave has only heard it, and he didn't know where to hear it before, saying that it is ...... It is said that the saint left an edict before he died. Originally, when the saint was seriously ill, he wanted to pass on the throne to His Royal Highness King Yingchuan, saying that he always dreamed of Prince Xianyide and said that he wanted to return the throne, but the queen mother did not agree, and the mother and son quarreled fiercely, which made us who were waiting outside hear some words. β
Cai Wei nodded, but she knew in her heart that Mama Ma and these palace people could overhear these news, it was not because of the loud quarrel between Empress Dowager Sun's mother and son at that time, but because the thoughtful person who once firmly controlled the palace ban and the black-clothed guard, An Chengxu, was no longer the black-clothed guard superintendent and the chief of the six palaces at this time.
Because when escorting into Yunnan, it was not good to protect the holy car, mainly to protect the dozens of cars of silver in the private house of the Empress Dowager Sun, but An Chengxu did not lose much of his own private house, which made the Empress Dowager Sun suspicious of him. In addition, some people in the Sun family have long been jealous of his position, and they took the opportunity to fall into the well in front of the Empress Dowager Sun, said a lot of bad things about him, and dismissed the Empress Dowager Sun from all his official positions, and handed over the black-clothed guard to Sun Chengxi, a cousin of Sun Youxiang, to take care of it, and the head of the Sixth Palace was also replaced.
That Sun Chengxi is just a straw bag, and the new head of the Sixth Palace is far from having the ability of An Chengxu, so the palace is not strictly governed, which not only allows some gossip to spread in the palace, but also allows Qin Fei, who is far away in Quanzhou, to seize the loopholes and take the opportunity to insert a few people in. Otherwise, if An Chengxu is still sitting in the palace and guarding here, I am afraid that her current situation is really not good.
However, if An Chengxu was really relied on by Empress Dowager Sun, I was afraid that she would wear out her mouth, and Qin Fei would not let her go.
I heard Mama Ma continue: "Although it is said that a husband is a son, but in this world, anyone who is a son can rarely go against the mother's will, and our saint is the same, and he has never been reluctant to the queen mother's intention in major matters." Seeing that his mother insisted on refusing to let King Yingchuan succeed to the throne, she wrote on the edict that she would inherit His Royal Highness King Linchuan to his name, and then let His Royal Highness succeed to the throne. β
"The saint thought that if he arranged it like this, the Queen Mother should have nothing to say, right? But who knows, the Queen Mother is still a little dissatisfied in her heart, and this is the one in the saint...... After the death, I have been secretly mourning, and I think that I can drag it out for a day,"
"But who is Sun Youxiang? That's the master who is the best at figuring out the thoughts of the Queen Mother, otherwise how could he be the most popular among the people in the Sun family? He saw that the queen mother cared most about the word name, and was not happy that the emperor title was all occupied by the prince of Xianyide, and since then he has been enshrined in the Taimiao, and has been worshiped by his descendants for thousands of generations, but her own grandson can only get the title of a prince, so he gave the queen mother an idea. β
When she said this, Cai Wei already understood that if she passed her child to the name of the Seventh Prince, even if the Seventh Prince could not be the emperor because he was a fool, he could be the Emperor because his son was the emperor, and he would be added to the emperor's honorific title, and he would be enshrined in the Taimiao Temple after his death, and he would enjoy the incense forever. It's just that even if she gave birth to a son, she would not be able to succeed to the throne until he was fifteen years old, could it be that in the long time of fifteen years, Empress Dowager Sun planned to let her son hide behind the tent all the time pretending to be sick and not seeing anyone?
It's not easy for a living person to pretend to be dead, but it's also hard for a dead person to pretend to be alive! It's barely okay to pretend for a year or two, but it takes fifteen years to pretend, is Empress Dowager Sun a fool when Cui Zuoxiang and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are fools? Are those gangs of goblins so easy to fool?
I heard Mama Ma say: "Sun Youxiang also knows that the news of the death of the saint cannot be hidden, so he persuaded the queen mother to find a person who looks very similar to the saint, and then teach him some of the saint's daily manners and demeanor, as well as the tone of speech to be the saint's stand-in, so that he can last a few more years, until the little prince in your belly grows to fifteen years old." β
For such a whimsical and whimsical idea of the Sun family, Cai Wei doesn't know what to say, this has to be Li Lingzhi's dim to come up with such a "wonderful" brilliant idea, I have to say, this right minister Sun Chengqing is really a genius!
But she soon realized a problem, "Since the Queen Mother plans to let the Holy Lord enter the earth for more than ten years, then why do you have to succeed my child, the Seven Princes of Kung Fu over the years have already given birth to many great-grandchildren?" β
Mama Ma suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Niangniang doesn't know yet, right?" The Seven Princes, he...... He's also a man with a hidden disease! β
"Hidden disease?" Cai Wei was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what kind of hidden disease this hidden disease in Mama Ma's mouth was, but this seventh prince was only eleven years old, and this hidden disease was found out so early?
"In fact, over the years, both the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine have been asking God for medicine everywhere, wanting to cure the stupid illness of the Seven Princes, but how can this natural fool be cured well? These various miracle doctors invited a lot, not only did they not cure this stupid disease, but they also diagnosed the problem at the root of his life, saying that he was born too small, like an embroidery needle, no matter how he moved it, he couldn't stand up, he was a natural eunuch, and he couldn't give birth to children at all! β
"So......" Mama Ma smiled flatteringly, "Niangniang just live in this palace with peace of mind, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are still looking at you to give birth to a big fat boy for them, and they will never do anything to you." It's Cui Zuoxiang's side, I'm afraid it's a little hard to say, so the old slave didn't dare to let Princess Cui in yesterday, because he was afraid that something would come out of there......"
Cai Wei knew that she was explaining in disguise why she let Concubine Sun in today, it was because before she gave birth to a child, people would not treat her well, but what about when she gave birth?
Therefore, she must leave this palace before giving birth and find a way to find a safe place, regardless of whether Qin Fei can come in August or not.
But before she could take action, Cui Zuoxiang's side first made a moth to deal with her as Mama Ma expected.
