Chapter 117
Seeing that the emperor is about to seal the pen for the New Year, the ministers should also go home to rest and reunite with their families for a few days of leisure, but who knows that the sooner the New Year is coming, the more noisy the court will be, even if it is a little girl like Acacia, she can hear about the Prince of Li, who has passed away for many years.
The quarrel and quarrel over the past is nothing more than the intersection between Prince Li and the Hu people when he was studying in the past, especially the prince of the Hu tribe who chased the wind and had correspondence with him, and even Princess Yang seemed to have done business with the Hu people back then, so that the prime minister said that he had a nose and eyes, and he almost pointed to the grave of Prince Li and said that he had plotted to rebel.
This matter was originally absurd to look at, people die like lights going out, Prince Li's body old people know, even if he had an idea at the time, this has no children and no lifespan, is it possible to just go up and sit down and have a fresh picture?
At first, the emperor also thought so, but he thought that he had been pressed hard recently, and he had attracted a lot of courtiers, and the original phenomenon of the prime minister's dominance was slowly tilting, so the prime minister was anxious to find such an unreliable thing to block everyone in the court.
But slowly, more and more so-called evidence, as well as the prime minister's faction round after round of playing, the emperor began to feel that something was wrong, and privately summoned his henchmen several times to guess the prime minister's intentions.
"Old lady, girl, the eldest lady of Ding'anbo Mansion is here."
Acacia was pulling a family routine with his grandmother on this day, and he heard a girl at the door.
Acacia was a little confused, originally made an appointment to go back to pay respects after Chinese New Year's Eve, but did not expect that He Shi personally went a trip a year ago.
The old lady frowned and said softly, "Please." ”
He soon walked in from behind the door curtain, wearing a big coat to meet guests, and her makeup was also very exquisite, but Acacia had been with her for many years, and she could see the haggard under her makeup at a glance.
"How is Auntie? What's going on? But have you been feeling unwell lately? Acacia got up and walked over and saluted, then helped her up.
"I shouldn't have come." He gave the old lady a salute and sat on the embroidery stool next to him, and said with a forced smile: "It's just that I miss Sanniang and miss it tightly, and then there is ...... My lord has recently heard some rumors in the court, so he hurriedly asked me to come over and inform him. ”
Mrs. Guan seemed to be aware of it, and asked Acacia to help her up, but she didn't let Acacia go out.
He obviously didn't want to hide his lovesickness, so he said: "It's really recently, the one in the court is really too pressing, the prince was not in good health back then, he traveled around to study, and there were not a few acquaintances. Who doesn't have a few friends on weekdays, but they just hold on to this, and it has become evidence of the flies and dogs, clamoring for severe punishment! ”
"That prince has been gone for so many years, even if he has friends, most of them have gone into the ground, and he can still dig people from the grave?" Old Madam Guan couldn't help but sneer.
"That's right, but aren't people thinking about sitting together?" He Shi said with red eyes: "The old lady of our family had a relationship with that prince at the beginning, but now the two of them are gone, and it has become a ridiculous reason for a conspiracy. ”
"If he wanted to achieve his goal, what means could he use, he could ...... back then What are you afraid of now? Mrs. Guan leaned on the soft pillow angrily, touched her chest and said.
He Shi nodded, but he didn't dare to raise his voice, so he only hesitated again and again and said in a very low voice: "It's not a big deal for my family, it's not a day to make trouble left and right, but I heard that that person is really going crazy, and he actually wants to pull the general of your mother's family...... My lord is afraid that something will happen, so let me hurry over and say, you take advantage of the chaos, hurry up and let people ask your hometown, I'm afraid that it will change later! ”
"He dares!" Old Madam Guan suddenly burst out and shouted: "My Yang family is a loyal martyr, and my uncle, the old general Yang Su, is even more for Chen Guo's birth and death, how dare he, how dare he...... Aren't you afraid of retribution? I'm not afraid that the dead border soldiers will find him for his life! ”
"Old lady!" He was so shocked that he hurriedly came over and patted the old lady on the back and said: "These people have gone crazy for themselves, and now that the emperor is in power, he is about to get rid of the shackles of previous years." Who supports the emperor? Who protects the emperor? He's scared! ”
Tears erupted from the corners of Mrs. Guan's eyes and said, "Such a person does such a thing, the disaster of Chen Guo!" ”
"You relax, maybe it's just to scare us, but it's always right to have multiple hearts." The He family has been frightened recently, even the two sons have been called back from the academy, the matter of the paddock is a lesson from the past, it is better to put it under the nose than to put it outside all day long, fortunately, it is also the New Year, and the academy should also rest.
The two said a few more words, and He called Acacia to come and admonished: "We didn't tell you to go out, we just let you listen and think more, and sometimes when it is inconvenient for the men in the family, we women will do it." Besides, because of your face, Uncle Niang is really not at ease...... Recently, you must not step out of the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and don't go out if anyone asks you to do it......"
Before the words fell, the little girl outside ran in in a panic and said, "The eldest prince of Ding'anbo Mansion outside is here, saying that the palace has passed the will!" Let Mrs. Meng take the three girls of our family into the palace. ”
The old lady Guan rolled her eyes and was about to pass, Acacia quickly pinched her person, and fed the pill again, the old lady relieved herself and hugged Acacia and cried: "What kind of sin has this been created!" I haven't won it for thousands of years, it's such a rotten heart, I can't see us! ”
He didn't have any opinions, so he pulled the girl and said, "My son can say who called it?" ”
The little girl knelt on the ground with weak legs and said, "It's the Queen Mother." ”
Mrs. Guan cried more and more, but she whimpered and said vague words, Acacia was the closest, and she could hear one or two, it was actually a taboo to curse the Queen Mother.
Acacia's heart was beating non-stop, and now this situation is not like the previous palace just a eunuch who said some ambiguous words, only hiding from his ancestors, which also made some suspicious people retreat. Right now, that's a clear decree, that's the queen mother's decree, if you don't go, it's a protest decree, can she die, can the Meng family die with her?
Grandma thinks there is no way, otherwise my grandmother wouldn't be so sad, the uncle's family is too busy to take care of herself, where is there any way to help her?
Acacia took a deep breath, she thought about what she was afraid of, what she was afraid of was the unknown of entering the palace, what was afraid of what conspiracy was waiting for her, and she was even more afraid of accidentally affecting her relatives.
It's just that I'm not afraid of death.
She has been a dead person from the previous life to this life, and marrying an ordinary person to live a comfortable life does not necessarily have to be realized, as long as she does not implicate others, she really has nothing to fear.
"Why don't you send Sanniang to Yanzhou's hometown first?" He panicked, grabbed Acacia and said.
Mrs. Guan was choked up and speechless, but Acacia had calmed down at this time and said: "Where is this urgency, besides, the Queen Mother has come to our house to announce her will, if I don't go, will it be possible for the eldest aunt to go alone?" That's a punishment. ”
"I don't care, what if there are any bad intentions, what can my son do?" He pulled the handkerchief and cried with Mrs. Guan.
Looking at the two relatives who felt most sorry for her, Acacia only felt that it was worth it to be reborn once, she thought of the eldest brother who was still waiting anxiously outside, so she smiled and comforted: "I am a little girl of twelve or thirteen, what can the Queen Mother do to me?" Zuo just called to take a look and ask questions, maybe I felt that I was not interesting and let me out of the palace, the uncle is also an earl, and the emperor is still there......"
"Not really!" Old Madam Guan wiped her tears and straightened up and said, "If she doesn't let her go, I will let your grandfather go to the palace to collect it in person!" ”
Acacia sneered and laughed, hugged his grandmother, then stood up and walked to the side of the bed and knelt down and said: "I don't know what the summons is, and I don't know if I can rush back to accompany you for the New Year, my granddaughter will kowtow to you three times first, and you can prepare my New Year's money at home." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the old lady to speak, she knocked her head three times hard, which was solid.
The old lady wiped her tears, stretched out her hand and dragged her, "Good child, grandmother is waiting for you to come back for the New Year at home." ”
Acacia asked Mama and the girl to come over to serve, and she persuaded a few more words, and then came out of it with He. He hesitated to say goodbye to his grandfather, but when he came out, he saw his grandfather standing in the courtyard with his back to them.
Acacia saluted in the past, and He also saluted in a proper manner.
"I know everything, go ahead, don't worry." My grandfather said very little, so he only left this sentence and went in to accompany his old wife.
Acacia looked back at the door of the main house, and his heart was infinitely grateful.
Acacia didn't bring anything when she went out, only brought a close-fitting girl pomegranate, and Mama Zhang and Tangzhi stayed in Beizhuang to pack up their things, which can be regarded as letting them stay to see the situation.
As soon as he went out, Ding Anbo's carriage had been waiting for a long time, Meng Huoran was anxious on his face, and when he saw He and Acacia, he said solemnly: "The government has already sent three groups of people to urge. ”
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ho said uneasily.
"It is said that the Queen Mother is going to see Sanniang this afternoon." Meng Huoran gritted his teeth and said.
There is no time to prepare, and there is no time to think about it, if it weren't for the fact that He happened to come over today, I'm afraid that there would be no time to change clothes when Acacia received the news, and the three of them knew that there was no longer much to say here, so they each got into a carriage and rushed to Kyoto.
As soon as the carriage left, a half-grown child at the door walked out of the corner, glanced at the Hou Mansion a few times, and then ran into the courtyard next door.
When he entered the door, the child couldn't help but shout: "Childe, Childe is not good!" The Queen Mother announced that she summoned that Miss Meng into the palace! ”
