Chapter 331: No Fear
Threat, the threat of Chiguoguo! It's like she's suing Emperor SΓΉ, she's the Jade Empress Dowager is not just your son! Although in the past two years, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor has become increasingly unharmonious, but the relationship between them is not so bad that the Queen Mother has thrown such cruel words. "ζ¨" Wen "Xiao" said|
Concubine Xiao was not flustered at all, and still stood there with a smile. From time to time, she also pretended to cough twice. That Mama Zhu was still kneeling, and no one stepped forward to drag her down and execute her. The concubines of this Qingyun Palace seemed to be deaf and dumb, and they turned a blind eye to it and said nothing.
The Empress Dowager Jade was only trembling with anger, even if she was sitting high on the main seat and the little fox slut below was standing, she felt that she was a little shorter. This kind of surprise and shame made her feel like someone was slapping her incessantly, making her vicious and daring.
Empress Xu, who was sitting with the Empress Dowager Jade, coughed slightly and looked haggard. Seeing this, she Fengyi said awe-inspiringly: "Xiao, you have violated the palace rules by contradicting the Queen Mother like this. For the sake of you sharing the worries and doing palace affairs for the palace, the palace is willing to ask the Queen Mother for a favor. Why don't you hurry up and kneel down and plead guilty? β
Empress Xu was the stepconcubine of the emperor when he was still the prince, so naturally she was not as noble as the original match. Although she was married by the Empress Dowager Jade, she has always been disliked by the emperor. If she hadn't had a sister-in-law, I'm afraid she would have been abolished by the emperor with an excuse. Therefore, Empress Xu firmly clinged to the Jade Empress Dowager.
At this time, her original intention was to make a round and let Concubine Xiao quickly hand over the palace power, and the most important thing was not to let this cunning woman smell anything special from it. But she was sick at this time, her qi was insufficient, she spoke softly, and she didn't have any power, but seemed to be showing weakness and softness.
Not to mention that the Jade Empress Dowager is not satisfied. Even the eldest princess of Kunshan gouged out the eyes of the imperial sister-in-law with great disrespect. As for Concubine Xiao, she didn't take this queen in her eyes.
"The queen mother, the concubine is receiving the holy decree. You should say these words to the emperor. Concubine Xiao Guifei blessed Queen Xu, her attitude seemed to be respectful, but the words she said could make people angry and die, "The concubine loves you physically and mentally." Look, you're sick like this, and you're worried about everything. The concubine can't bear it in her heart. Ah, by the way, the third prince is said to be staying outside the palace again. I don't know which alley it is. β
At the mention of the third prince, Empress Xu's face became more and more ugly, her eyes turned dark, and she lowered her eyes and stopped talking. The reason why she always gave in to Concubine Xiao. In addition to the fact that the other party has the support of the emperor, it is really the Marquis of Fenyang who has taken a few tricks from the three princes. She could only endure it for the time being.
Seeing that Concubine Xiao was so tough, and even did not hesitate to threaten Empress Xu with the third prince, several people on the Jade Empress Dowager's side were a little surprised. In the past, although Concubine Xiao was in the palace, she called for wind and rain. But she was quite tactful, and she had never been so confronted with them as she was.
However, the Empress Dowager Jade is sure. As long as the emperor hears the word "red Tibet", he will definitely stand on their side. Concubine Xiao is now proud. We'll see how she faces the Emperor's decree later.
Thinking like this, the Jade Empress Dowager calmed down. He and the concubine trembled and ordered the palace people to bring refreshments, and she actually used it for face. Empress Xu has always looked at the Empress Dowager Jade as the horse, and when she sees this, she will no longer have much to do. As for the eldest princess of Kunshan, she has never worried about anything, and she is very leisurely. Princess Taicheng is completely here to make soy sauce, and she is only turning her thoughts in her heart.
It's just that the left and right waited, the emperor or the emperor's close attendants didn't wait, and the Hua Granny sent to the apse by Concubine Xiao came back first.
Granny Hua ignored the queen mother and queen of the head, and only said to Concubine Xiao: "Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Qing was indeed poisoned and died." But the wine and food used by her and the emperor are non-toxic, but the incense powder in a hollow jade incense ball next to her is poisonous. β
After that, the mist behind Granny Hua took out a silver plate, and there was a hollow jade incense ball with a butterfly wearing flowers on it. Concubine Xiao looked at it carefully, raised her eyebrows, and said, "It looks like it's new, and it doesn't seem to take long." Hongu remembers that this season's jade incense balls do not have such a style. β
Listening to the wind behind her, she said: "Niangniang, this is a thing outside the palace." If the slave is not mistaken, it should be the new product of Zhu Haiji last month. β
Zhu Haiji, this is the industry of Yunhang Xiao's family. Tianxingjing has three Zhu Hai Ji branches, one of which is Xiao Fenghuang's dowry back then. Concubine Xiao nodded with a smile: "Although Zhu Haiji is not as good as Zhenlong Pavilion, it is also a first-class jewelry store. This jade incense ball is exquisitely made and the materials are exquisite, and I am afraid it is not cheap. β
She asked Mama Zhu again: "This thing was bought by Concubine Qing out of the palace?" β
Mama Zhu immediately said loudly: "Guifei Niangniang Mingjian, Qing Concubine Niangniang has not been able to get money recently, and she has never sent anyone out of the palace to buy it. The slave maid is in charge of Concubine Qing's jewelry and other things, and has never found this brand-new jade incense ball. β
Xiangwu continued: "Niangniang, as far as the slave maid knows, in the past month, no little master in the palace has asked the Internal Affairs Office to buy new jade incense balls outside. Since you can recognize that this jade incense ball is from Zhu Haiji, you just need someone to check it. β
Concubine Xiao nodded and said, "Not bad!" Then he instructed, "The Queen Mother's birthday is imminent, and you must not disturb the Queen Mother's good mood because of this matter." You immediately send someone out of the palace to Zhu Haiji to investigate. "Appreciate the fog and take the jade incense ball and leave.
The Empress Dowager Jade at the top was so angry that her face turned blue, this Xiao family was so fearless to inquire about what happened in front of her, and what did she say for fear of disturbing her good mood, her mood was already terrible, okay?
Left and right, the emperor's son just didn't show up, and he didn't send someone to give an explanation. The Empress Dowager Jade was so angry that she lifted the tea bowl to the ground and shouted angrily: "What about the emperor? Why haven't you seen anyone coming?! β
Concubine Xiao said neatly: "The queen mother is angry, and the emperor is only afraid to go to Ying's promise." He was so frightened by the dead that his head and face were covered with blood, that he had to wash himself well before he came to see you? β
In fact, without her warrant, even a fly would have wanted to get out. Since she was determined to intervene in this matter, how could she let the Jade Empress Dowager coerce the emperor?
The Empress Dowager Jade is also a smart person, and when she thought about it, she knew that there must be something strange in this. She couldn't help but be furious, and turned her face and ordered Empress Xu: "Empress, you personally go and invite the emperor over!" β
Queen Xu didn't dare to disobey her order, so she had to force her sick body and staggered away. Compared with Concubine Xiao, who is getting more and more excited and energetic, the queen is the real sick number.
Unexpectedly, the queen is gone, and the emperor is still nowhere to be seen. The Empress Dowager Jade was waiting drowsily, and the eldest princess of Kunshan had long been bored and walked away. Only the princess of Taicheng was left to accompany her grandmother with filial piety, which provoked the Empress Dowager Jade to pity her a little more. (To be continued.) )>
