Chapter 85: Homecoming
If you had to engrave your name on the tablet, it would probably be the word "Hansu".
When Han Su died violently in the palace overnight, the old man Han was so sad that he rushed to the palace overnight, but he couldn't even see Han Su's bones, so he had to get an explanation that Han Su had been buried in the imperial tomb.
After coming out of the palace, the old man Han offered such a tablet without a name in the Han ancestral hall.
Old Man Han didn't feel at all that for Han Su, who had died, the imperial tomb of the Zhao family was a better destination than the ancestral tomb of the Han family, and failing to bring Han Su's bones back to the Han family has become an indescribable pain in his heart since then.
For an anonymous tablet on the incense case, firstly, I want Hansu to enjoy the fireworks of the Han family, and secondly, I am looking forward to the day when Hansu's bones can be recovered, and then I will engrave Hansu's name on the tablet with my own hands.
This wish has been entrenched in Old Man Han's heart for more than 20 years.
But Han Su's burial place is the well-guarded imperial mausoleum, he thought that he might not be able to achieve this wish in his life, but he didn't expect that when he was old, he would not only be able to wait for his daughter to return again, but also have the opportunity to fulfill his wish.
Therefore, seeing that Feng Zhige fell on the blank tablet, Old Man Han suddenly became excited, he grabbed Feng Zhige's hand, and asked in a trembling voice: "Su Su, do you have a way?" ”
Feng Zhige bowed her head slightly, she gently patted the back of the old man Han to smooth him, and said lightly: "What belongs to me, how can it be kept in the Zhao Emperor's Mausoleum, I originally wanted to put this matter aside first, but now that there is a queen in the palace who is in a hurry to jump out and carry the black cauldron, we might as well receive the kindness of the queen." ”
When he said the words of the queen's mother, Feng Zhige's eyes crossed with irony.
Old Man Han also didn't take the queen in his eyes, he looked at Feng Zhige, with guilt in his eyes: "Su Su, I'm sorry for you for my father, not only did I fail to protect you back then, but I made you suffer grievances in that deep palace, and I didn't even bring back your bones." If you hadn't been blessed to return to the world and be a Father......"
Speaking of which, Old Man Han's voice was a little choked.
In this already somewhat gloomy ancestral hall, he said things like "your bones" in front of the living. No matter how you look at it, it's inevitably a little weird, and if someone else sees this scene, I don't know how many people will be frightened.
Feng Zhige didn't feel terrible at all.
She could imagine how difficult it must have been for the old man to be pressed on this matter in his heart all these years.
At that time, because of more than ten years of smooth sailing, she lost a lot of vigilance that had been honed between life and death in the past, if she wasn't too confident. No matter how careful she is, she will never be killed by Zhao Tiannan and Zhao Youjun's small means, and she is so tired that her father has suffered for her affairs so far.
Fortunately, she still has a chance to make up for the regrets of the year.
She is a daughter of the Han family, even if she has been relived for a lifetime, this cannot be changed.
As a daughter of the Han family, even if Han Su in the past is dead, she should not be buried in the cold and lonely Zhao Emperor's tomb, and the ancestral tomb of the Han family should be the final destination of Han Su.
Feng Zhige has always identified this.
Stretched out his hand comfortingly and patted the old man Han lightly on the back. Feng Zhige said in a low voice: "Father doesn't have to worry about the past anymore, now that I have returned, I will naturally ask for back the things that belong to me and the Han family one by one." ”
Although Feng Zhige's voice is not loud, it makes people feel convinced when they listen to it.
Hearing this, Old Man Han turned around and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Yes, Su Su, you have already returned, and the things of the year will naturally come back one day, and you should be happy for your father." ”
Speaking of which, I remembered that Feng Zhige had mentioned the queen more than once. Old Man Han said with some confusion: "Su Su, why did you deliberately mention the queen?" Isn't it a queen......"
Feng Zhige's face darkened suddenly, and his voice was as cold as frost: "The queen in the palace is probably going too smoothly these years. That's why she has the leisure to worry about her daughter's lifelong affairs, and wants to promise her daughter to her nephew. ”
Old Man Han was furious, his already sharp eyebrows were upside down, and the prestige that he had cultivated for decades in a high position for officials was all revealed under this small action.
Although I don't know which nephew the queen wants to give Feng Zhige to her, Chengping Bo's mansion is ridiculous, which is known to everyone in the capital. Several times in Chengpingbo's Mansion, I'm afraid I can't find a slightly decent male host.
Queen Su knew that Feng Zhige had become the daughter of Old Man Han, and she still wanted Feng Zhige to marry into the Su family, and Old Man Han had reason to believe that this was Queen Su provoking him and the entire Han family.
The old man Han knows that Zhao Tiannan is jealous of the Han family, but with the current status of the Han family, even if Zhao Tiannan is jealous, he does not dare to touch the Han family without absolute certainty, Queen Su just occupies the position of the middle palace, but she has no power in her hands that can affect the court situation, and she has no son who can inherit the unification, why does she think that she can confront the Han family?
sneered, and the old man Han who was extremely angry didn't care whether his words were rebellious or not, and opened his mouth and scolded: "It's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, she Su Shenyu thinks that she has become the queen, and the Su family can really follow the chicken dog to heaven?" It's just a bunch of waste who eat and wait to die, and they dare to think about my cold daughter! ”
Feng Zhige's red lips curled slightly, "Why should my father be angry about such a trivial matter, even if Queen Su has this plan, she has to see if her Su family has such a big appetite." Moreover, after today, Queen Su will probably no longer have the leisure to worry about her daughter's lifelong affairs. ”
As soon as Old Man Han heard that Feng Zhige had a plan, he immediately lost his anger.
Even if he is the patriarch of the Han clan, and he is also the absolute figure above 10,000 people in the Dawu Dynasty, but he has always had absolute trust in his daughter.
At this point, Old Man Han is the same as Mu Qingwan.
"Susu, what are you going to do? If you need help, tell your father and your brother that it should have been done for your father and your brother. Old Man Han said.
Asked by Old Man Han about the plan, Feng Zhige's mood suddenly improved, she turned to meet the sunlight that spilled obliquely into the ancestral hall, and the smile on her face looked a little unpredictable, "Father, we don't need to do anything, just reveal some small things for Queen Su to know, I believe Queen Su will help us do a lot of things." ”
Old Man Han was slightly stunned, and then he also smiled.
Although Feng Zhige didn't seem to say anything, the old man Han has been immersed in officialdom for decades. With just a little thought, you can roughly understand Feng Zhige's plan.
He looked at Feng Zhige's side face with a smile, although the girl's face was still a little immature, but the perseverance and calmness on her face made up for it very well, making people even know her current age. still won't treat her like a little girl.
Although this face was very different from the Su Su in his memory, from this point of view, the two unexpectedly made Old Man Han feel very similar.
This alone is enough to satisfy the old man Han, who has been thinking about women for decades.
This is his daughter, his plain so.
……
Feng Zhige didn't stay in the cold mansion for long. After talking to Old Man Han, and meeting with Han Ling who came over from behind, she took Mama Li back to the Hou Mansion.
Not long after Feng Zhige returned to the Hou Mansion, Gonggong Lin, who was in the palace, received a note with a string of chaotic numbers written on it.
Turning out a thin and yellowed booklet and carefully proofreading it for a long time, a smile slowly appeared on Gonggong Lin's perennial calm face, and his well-defined hands, which obviously belonged to the martial arts practitioners, gently rubbed on the booklet, and he whispered to himself: "It's still the queen's mother who thinks thoughtfully......"
This sentence is too common, even if it is heard in the ears of others, it only means that Gonggong Lin has received some orders from Queen Su, even if Gonggong Lin has always only obeyed the orders of the current emperor. It is normal for Queen Su, who has been sitting in the main palace for more than 20 years, to tell him something.
However, only Gonggong Lin himself knows who he refers to as "Queen Mother".
After thinking about it for a long time, Gonggong Lin put the pamphlet in a secret place, and then called two little eunuchs who were waiting outside to come in and whisper in a low voice.
After listening to Gonggong Lin's instructions, the two little eunuchs had some doubts on their faces, obviously not understanding the meaning of Gonggong Lin's orders.
Gonggong Lin didn't explain to the two, only waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs retreated as they said.
It was also on the same day that Hui'er, the palace maid who served closely by Queen Su's side, was going to retrieve the court clothes sent by the queen to wash the pulp, and she happened to hear a conversation that made her feel a little shocked.
Until the two little eunuchs who were talking walked away. Hui'er, who was hiding in the shadows, returned to Kunning Palace with some reluctance.
From the bottom of her heart, Hui'er didn't really believe what she heard by chance, but they were just two little eunuchs with no rank, so she didn't know where they heard the rumors.
Hui'er had the heart to ignore it. In the end, I couldn't suppress a trace of excitement in my heart.
As a palace maid in Kunning Palace, and serving the queen mother closely, Hui'er is naturally ambitious in her heart, and seeing the wealth every day, she naturally can't be willing to be just a palace maid with no grade for the rest of her life.
Hui'er has been serving Queen Su for a year, but she has never been much embarrassed in front of the queen. It's just that the queen already has a henchman around her, so she naturally doesn't attach great importance to them.
This conversation I heard by chance made Hui'er see the hope of coming out.
Even if she didn't really believe what she heard at the moment, even if there was only a 12 out of 10 chance of being true, she wanted to gamble.
Tell the queen the news, if the news is true, the queen will inevitably reuse her, even if the news is false, she is also loyal, even if the queen does not promote her, she should not be punished anyway......
After making up her mind, when Hui'er returned to Kunning Palace, her expression had turned calm, and there was still a little apprehension and excitement in the depths of her eyes.
Outside the queen's bedroom, Hui'er took a deep breath, and then stepped in.
Queen Su was lying on the soft couch at this time with her eyes closed, Xu was afraid of disturbing the queen's rest, and the queen was the only one in the palace.
Now that it is autumn, and the weather is gradually becoming cold, Queen Su put a thin blanket woven of peacock feathers on her body, and the dazzling color of the thin blanket only attracted Hui'er's attention for a moment, and even made her almost forget where she was at this time and who she was facing.
As early as when Hui'er stepped into the palace, Queen Su had already opened her eyes.
She looked at the unconcealable greed and longing in Hui'er's eyes, her brows furrowed slightly, and there was disdain flashing in her eyes.
Since she became the queen of the Great Wu Dynasty, she has seen too much of this kind of vision, but Queen Su doesn't mind, she has already reached the highest point in her life as a woman, and she also thinks that she should be envied by all women in the world, so naturally she will not care about the desire of a palace maid who controls life and death by her.
Although Hui'er was a little dazzled by that thin blanket, she was swept away by Queen Su's gaze, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
The mind is occupied by the intentions of the heart. Hui'er didn't care about the tray with the queen's court clothes in her hand, and casually put it on the low table next to her, maybe her movements were too rude, and the neatly folded Xuanxi Zhai clothes and the red cloud dragon pattern on them had some wrinkles.
This action immediately attracted Queen Su's cold gaze.
Queen Su is the proudest in her life. is her status as the queen of the world.
And the unique court dress that Hui'er casually put aside is undoubtedly a symbol of her identity, so since she came, Queen Su attached great importance to her court clothes, and then saw that Hui'er was so careless. Where can I not be angry?
Hui'er also noticed Queen Su's gaze at the hanbok, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed by her carelessness.
After serving by the queen's side for more than a year, Hui'er knew very well about Queen Su's taboos, and she still remembered that last time a palace maid accidentally spilled a few drops of water on this court dress, even if she was dragged down by the angry Queen Su and beaten to death.
Recalling the terrible screams of the little palace maid when she was tortured, Hui'er couldn't help but shudder.
Fortunately, she still has a way to remedy it.
Deliberately not looking at the court clothes that she put aside, Hui'er took a few steps forward, lowered her voice and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, the slave has something important to report." ”
Since a few days ago, I went to the Qianqing Palace full of confidence to ask the emperor to marry Su Qi and Feng Zhige. only provoked the emperor's angry reprimand for not saving her face at all, and Queen Su became a little moody.
At this time, she was about to get angry, and seeing Hui'er so solemn, she suppressed her anger a little.
"What's the matter?"
Queen Su half-squinted, biting the word "want" very hard, it was obvious that if the matter reported by Hui'er was just some inconsequential trivial matter, there would inevitably be a head to eat.
Hui'er obviously knew this, she knelt on her knees, lowered her head and said, "Back to the queen mother, when the slave maid went to get your court clothes." Overheard two little eunuchs talking, because the two mentioned the emperor and the queen's mother, the slave and maid hid in the dark and did not make a noise. ”
Speaking of which, Hui'er also knew that her next words would definitely provoke Queen Su's fury. buried his head even lower, "Listen to what the two little eunuchs said, they said ......"
Queen Su was originally a little careless about Hui'er's said important matters, Hui'er was just a little palace maid who served her clothes, and she didn't even have a grade, so how could she have access to any secret things.
But at this time, I saw Hui'er's expression. Queen Su was interested, and even sat up a little straighter, she glanced at Hui'er, "What did they say?" ”
Hui'er was afraid that the queen would be angry with her after she finished speaking, and on the other hand, she was happy that she had successfully aroused the queen's interest.
"They said that the queen mother was not the queen of the Yuan, and they also said that the emperor's queen died more than 20 years ago, and the emperor had sworn that he would be buried with the queen in the imperial mausoleum after Daxing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hui'er grabbed the ground with her head, and couldn't stop begging for mercy: "The queen mother spares her life, it's not that the slave maid intends to offend the queen mother, and then give the slave and maid ten guts, and the slave and maid will never dare to make up such a big rebellious statement to deceive the maid, and the slave and maid really listened to what the two eunuchs said." ”
To tell the truth, Hui'er didn't believe this news in her heart, she had been in the palace for seven or eight years, but she had never said such rumors, the palace was a place that couldn't hide secrets, if there was really such a queen Yuan, how could she not hear the slightest rumor.
Queen Su was not as angry as Hui'er thought in advance.
In fact, Empress Su was already stunned by Hui'er's words at this time.
She didn't know how true or false Hui'er's words were, but she could be sure of one thing, that is, she was indeed not the emperor's queen.
There are very few people in the old palace from more than 20 years ago who still remain in the palace today, and the emperor is already taboo, so no one in the palace has ever dared to mention what happened more than 20 years ago.
Over time, the palace people who later entered the palace only knew Queen Su, and naturally regarded Queen Su as the queen of the Yuan.
But I don't know that the real Empress Yuan is actually someone else.
Empress Su also happened to hear the name of the Empress Yuan from the Han family after entering the palace for many years, and after that, she kept this matter a secret, if it wasn't for the fact that the emperor wanted to see the eldest girl of the Feng family through her, maybe she would never mention that name in front of the emperor.
She thought that this matter, except for a very few people, should not be known to anyone else.
Because of this, Queen Su never thought that one day she would hear such news from the mouth of a little palace maid.
As for what Hui'er said, the emperor vowed to be buried with him in the imperial mausoleum as early as the time of the Yuan Dynasty......
As long as she thought about this possibility, Queen Su trembled with anger.
She is the queen of this Great Wu Dynasty known to everyone in the world!
Back then, the Han clan, although she was indeed on the royal jade, she had not even experienced the queen ceremony, which kind of queen could be regarded as the queen of the family!
Even if the emperor has a big funeral in the future, she should be the queen who can be buried with the emperor in the imperial mausoleum! (To be continued.) )
