Chapter 20 Old Madam Zhao returns home
I don't know if these careful thoughts of mine have been seen by Moyu, she has been by my side all the time, and she hasn't said anything, just like usual. I thought that maybe everyone would think that I had fallen out of favor and would not trouble me again for the time being, and my life would probably be calmer.
But I didn't expect that Yiqiē was not what I thought, and the storm behind was still waiting for me.
Liu Xi rarely stays outside for a few days and does not return to the house, but he is such a person, he has been walking for three days in a row without any news. During these three days, I spent almost as much as I did for a year, looking forward to when he would return. Not only that, but I was also thinking to myself, where the hell did he go? Is there really some secret to it?
Three days later, Moyu came to tell me that Liu Xi had returned. I was so excited for a while, but because of Moyu's presence, I didn't deliberately come out.
I thought that when Liu Xian came back, he would inevitably come to my Yilan Hall immediately, but he waited left and right, and he didn't come. sent Moyu to ask, only to find out that Liu Xi had gone to Bo Mei'er.
For a while, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect that what he valued most was the side concubine.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yu wanted to speak and stopped, and after half a sound, she finally said again: "Girl, this time King Jin came back not only by himself, he also brought other people back. ”
I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect him to come back with other people, and I couldn't help asking, "Who is it?" But is it the new favorite concubine? ”
As soon as the words came out, I immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing, and sure enough, Moyu's brows frowned deeply, and she said unhappily: "Girl, what are you thinking in your head?" Are you already interested in Liu Xian? Otherwise, why should he care so much about who he brought home? ”
Although I was inevitably a little weak-hearted, I still said very strongly: "What did you say, how could I be tempted by him, I was thinking, if he brought other women back to the house, then our opponent would have one more!" ”
Mo Yu seemed to believe it or not, but now, she didn't have time to study these things with me, so she just said: "It's not a favorite concubine, but it's more troublesome than any favorite concubine." It's the mother of King Jin, Mrs. Zhao! ”
Old Madam Zhao? I don't know anything about this woman, and the information given to me by the Queen Mother doesn't contain it.
Seeing that I was a little confused, Mo Yu said: "The girl doesn't know, this old lady Zhao was originally named Zhao Yunyan, and when the first emperor was in power, she was very favored. She was as light as a swallow, and she imitated Zhao Feiyan to dance on the drum, so she was given the name Zhao Yunyan by the first emperor. She can't help but be beautiful, not to mention scheming. These are secondary, though. Previously, she was a rival of the Queen Mother. Among so many concubines, she is the most powerful. If it weren't for the little prince of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that it would be this old lady Zhao who is now sitting in the position of the Queen Mother! ”
After listening to Mo Yu say this, I realized that this old lady Zhao can also be regarded as the queen mother's old enemy. In that case, she will also be our enemy. What Mo Yu is worried about is that with my resourcefulness, I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with this old lady.
However, in this way, I feel a little more relaxed, as long as it is not other favorite concubines, then there is nothing I can't deal with.
"Mo Yu, didn't King Jin reward us with some high-quality blood-tonifying Ejiao last time? Bring me, and we'll visit the old lady together! "There was a sparkle in my eyes, and I wanted to see how powerful this old lady really was!
Mo Yu was taken aback when she heard me say this, and she said, "Girl, are you really going?" It stands to reason that you can't meet the old lady without any title. Even if you ignore etiquette and go, the old lady may not be willing to see you! ”
"I know that I am not qualified yet, so I have no intention of giving this Dong'e Ejiao to her. This Ejiao, I gave it to Bo Mei'er! ”
She didn't understand what I was trying to do, but she did what I said.
When she took out the fine ejiao, my fingers gently rubbed the lines on it, and she smiled lightly: "I think, she will definitely help me!" ”
When I brought the good ejiao to Bo Mei'er and explained my intentions, as I expected, she agreed to my request to meet Mrs. Zhao.
Just one day later, Mrs. Zhao sent me an order to see her. This order is undoubtedly another favor to me in the eyes of others, but in fact, only I know that I am also doing a dangerous move. I have also heard a little about what kind of person Mrs. Zhao is, and Bo Mei'er said a word in front of her, which seems to be very effective. In this way, she has a good relationship with Bo Mei'er.
In order to please Mrs. Zhao, I rushed out the landscape map that I had begun to embroider earlier overnight, and asked Moyu to take it to the Heji Palace. Before Mrs. Zhao came back, King Jin specially asked people to clean it, and when the old lady returned to the house, she naturally moved in.
When I went in, I found that it was not just the old lady who was alone, Bo Mei'er and Liu Ruyue were there.
I held the embroidered picture in my hand and saluted the old lady Zhao at the top, "The slave has seen the old lady!" ”
I could only hear a majestic and slightly cold voice sounding, "Get up!" ”
Because my rank is too low, I am not qualified to call Mrs. Zhao the queen mother, so I can only call her the old lady.
At this time, I raised my head and looked at the person above, and then I saw that although she had passed her most beautiful years, she did not look like an old dragon. Her skin is well cared for, and there is almost no silver in her black hair. It is conceivable that her life is very comfortable. It's just that when she looked at me, there was no kindness in the eyes of an ordinary old lady, and her sharp look made my heart feel cold. The old lady is not a character to get along with.
I hurriedly put the embroidered picture in my hand on the top of my head, and said to Mrs. Zhao again: "The slave knows that the old lady has returned, but she doesn't have a decent gift, so she can only embroider this landscape map with her own hands and give it to the old lady, I wish the old lady can live forever!" ”
The girl next to Mrs. Zhao still walked down under the signal of the old lady's eyes, took the embroidery in my hand, and unfolded it in front of the old lady.
This landscape map is not too long, the background is Dongyue Taishan, and the clouds of the mountain stream are also vividly embroidered by me, the rising sun behind the mountain, only a sharp corner can be exposed.
