Chapter 308: The Queen's Means (Two Watches in One)
Yin Ru, the wife of Du Jingbeihou, a close retinue, regarded Gu Mingnuan, the head of Jianing County, as a lifelong enemy, and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Yin Ru didn't even hesitate to deal with Gu Mingnuan by any means.
At this time, she put Gu Mingxin and Gu Mingnuan in the same position, was she too ruthless?
After all, Gu Mingxin is her biological daughter!
Yin Ru said casually: "Don't think that I am ruthless to Sister Xin, she has been completely enveloped by Gu Mingnuan, could it be that I gave birth to her, and I will admit that she is hurt without complaint?" Let her be the dagger that strikes me in Gu Mingnuan's hands? Since she is ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust. ”
"Madame is right."
"Besides, I didn't give birth to just her." Yin Ru explained to the people around her, and seemed to be talking to herself to find a reason, "You can't ignore Ye'er and them because she is alone, once I am killed, Ye'er and they will become motherless children, there is no mother in the Xiao family, Ye'er and they will be bullied to death." ”
Just looking at Xiao Yan left behind in the long house, his combat exploits and riding and archery strategies are very good, it is not that Xiao Yang shows some appreciation and maintenance for Xiao Yan, the elite in Xiao Yan's hands has long been taken away by Xiao Yue.
Yin Ru slowly clenched her fists, even for the sake of her children, she couldn't fail!
"Madam, it's getting late now, are you going back to the Hou Mansion?"
The palace has been locked, Yin Ru has no way to see Emperor Chu at all, go back to the Hou Mansion, what if the sun can't rise tomorrow?
The cold moonlight sprinkled down, adding a layer of coldness to Yin Ru's body, and the smile on her lips faded, "No matter how late it is, I can always see Your Majesty." ”
The strong confidence revealed in the words shocked the spirits of the guards and servants of the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
Hou Ye returned to the north, isn't there still a lady in the capital?
Although Mrs. Jingbei Hou came to the capital, she was broken by the undefeated myth of the Jianing County Lord, and suffered losses in the hands of Gu Mingnuan several times, but at the moment, the Jianing County Lord is not in the imperial capital, and the rest of the concubines are not Mrs. Yin's opponents!
Yin Ru turned over and got on her horse and raised her whip in a dashing manner, "You follow me into the palace." ”
Everyone responded in unison, and they crowded around Yin Ru in the direction of the palace like stars holding the moon.
Yin Ru, who was riding on the horse, breathed a sigh of relief. She was also nervous inside, and she didn't have the composure on her face.
Although she had long expected that Xiao Yue would return to the Northland soon, she never expected that Xiao Yue would sneak away before she returned to Beijing.
Leave Xiao Ye and Xiao Bao'er, two children who are not yet minors, in the imperial capital, in case Emperor Chu kills them in a fit of rage...... Yin Ru tightened the reins. complained a little more about Xiao Yue's ruthlessness.
She contradicted that the ambitious Xiao Yue's move just proved that he had the qualifications to be a hero.
Fortunately, Emperor Chu did not lose his mind, Xiao Yue also arranged a backhand, Ye'er was frightened and wronged, and finally returned to live in good health.
After this incident, Xiao Ye will grow up quickly.
Yin Ru couldn't wait to fly back to the Hou Mansion to see the two children. Hold back, she has to hold back, the cool night breeze calms her down, the palace is already close at hand, she first asked Emperor Chu to revoke the express order to block the Jingbei Marquis's mansion, so that she can comfort the frightened children.
"I'm Yin Ru, the Marquis of Jingbei, and I want to see Your Majesty."
She sat on a horse, proudly facing many palace guards, her beautiful face was as cold as jade, and she was as noble as a goddess. A pair of eyes showed a touch of contempt, "Go and tell your majesty." ”
The Jin Wuwei guards who guarded the palace glanced at each other, they all knew Mrs. Jingbei Hou, but they didn't expect Mrs. Yin to enter the palace late at night, and there was a compelling momentum, "Mrs. Yin later." ”
They are not Gu Yan, and no one dares to offend the Xiao family.
The Marquis of Jingbei left the imperial capital, but His Majesty only reprimanded Xiao Ye, making him think about it behind closed doors in the mansion and besiege the Marquis of Jingbei's mansion.
It didn't take a few days. The fourth master of the Xiao family presented a 'heavy gift' to Emperor Chu, and the shock of more than 300 heads was enough to make people have nightmares.
This group of Jin Wuwei was the guards who guarded the Jinluan Hall that day, but they witnessed the wonders of that day, and many people had a shadow in their hearts. When he heard the Xiao family, his feet were weak.
The civil and military generals in the court are not much better than them.
It is the accusation that they will pass to the palace together, and it is not up to them to decide whether His Majesty summons Mrs. Yin or not.
The Xiao family, after all, is the overlord of the Northland, and the Xiao family who dares to overpower Emperor Chu!
The timidity on the faces of the Jin Wuwei made Yin Ru faintly proud in her heart, as long as she could accompany Xiao Yue to the highest place in the world. Who's to say she made the wrong decision in the first place?
Her son can inherit the throne, and in the annals of this history, Yin Ru will be portrayed as an outstanding woman, bowed to her descendants, or envied and jealous of her status and achievements!
Power can make an ordinary man attractive.
No matter how sincere Gu Cheng is to her, what is the use?
The palace is ninefold, and the news that Yin Ru asked to see him soon reached the ears of Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu stopped going to Chengze Palace, originally he planned to recruit young and beautiful beauties tonight.
Recently, he has almost exclusively favored the queen, he feels that he should take care of the harem and other beauties, and the Empress Dowager Ji also has this meaning, the emperor can only be harmonious in the harem when the rain and dew are wet, and there will be less competition for favor.
He believed that Xiu'er would understand him.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Yin is waiting outside the palace." Father-in-law Su reminded in a low voice: "Are you seeing her?" Or did you order her to go back to Jingbei Hou's Mansion first? ”
"What benefits does the Xiao family give you?!"
Hearing Emperor Chu's cold rebuke, Gonggong Su knelt down with a soft foot, "The slave has never carried you on your back to get any benefits, Your Majesty, the slave and maid want Mrs. Yin to stay outside the palace for too long, and the government and the opposition are inevitably discussing." ”
In a flash of inspiration, Gonggong Su knelt down and crawled to the feet of Emperor Chu, "With the meaning of the slave maid, it is getting late, and you should not see the wife of the foreign minister again." ”
What a good reason!
Emperor Chu's grim face eased slightly, and he kicked away Gonggong Su, "Dog minion, you just thought of this?" Do you still want to replace me with my pig's head? Go back to the inner study and read a few more books. ”
Father-in-law Su kowtowed again and again, banging, and his forehead slammed into the cold blue brick ground as if he was not afraid of pain.
Xu was frightened by Xiao Yang's hundreds of heads, and Emperor Chu has been a little moody recently, even Gonggong Su, who has been serving him for a long time, is a little uncertain.
Emperor Chu boarded the sedan chair with yellow brocade and embroidered with a nine-clawed golden dragon, and commanded softly: "Go and send a message to the queen, and the foreign woman will be under the control of the queen." ”
The implication is to let Queen Zhao look at it.
Gonggong Su watched Emperor Chu leave, and the little eunuch next to him just came over to help him up, and dusted off the dust on his clothes for Gonggong Su, "Your Majesty still believes in you, Master." ”
"What do you know?!" Gonggong Su touched his red and swollen forehead in frustration, and secretly said that he was unlucky, how could he forget that His Majesty did not wait to see the Xiao family, and did not dare to offend the Xiao family ruthlessly?
He has been following Chu Di's side. not only saw Xiao Yang's heavy gifts, but even saw the tragic picture of the Xuanmen masters bleeding and the flesh drying up little by little...... I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
"The slave maid went to pass the message to the mother?"
"No, I'll go myself."
Gonggong Su faintly felt that Feng Xin had a tacit understanding with the queen's mother. He and Feng Xin seem to be friends and enemies, and they know each other, should he also go to the queen's bedroom a few more times?
Empress Zhao has not rested, not because she is waiting for Emperor Chu, but because she has forgotten the hour while reading a book.
In the past, when Empress Zhou was there. The dormitory is magnificent, extravagant and luxurious, and the vases of the Ru kiln, the antiques of the previous dynasty, and the bonsai piled up with precious stones can be seen everywhere.
After Empress Zhao became the master, most of the furnishings were replaced, neither too rich, nor too plain to lose the dignity of the lord of the harem.
There are many young palace concubines who heard that Emperor Chu did not like luxury, and some people came up with new cuts to decorate the palace very warmly. It can be bright or full of bookish atmosphere.
The queen naturally disdains the same means of competing for favor as the concubines, and Empress Zhao has the most scrolls around her, but most of the scrolls are placed in places where Emperor Chu can't see them.
Most of the books on the bright bookshelf are often read by sad autumn moons, and the women of the back house who moaned without illness often read.
Gonggong Su knelt down to explain Emperor Chu's message, heard that there was no movement for a long time, and secretly raised his eyes to see that Empress Zhao was leaning on the big pillow of crimson embroidered peony, and her eyes were good and she continued to read the scroll in her hand, which was quiet and calm. Than Majesty xià...... Father-in-law Su thought about it more deeply, and asked tentatively: "Did Niangniang let Mrs. Yin in?" ”
On the way here, Gonggong Su felt that His Majesty still hoped that the queen could meet Mrs. Jingbeihou.
Hmm, Empress Zhao turned a page of the book. said casually: "It seems that the Yin family hasn't understood what etiquette is when they go out of Beijing, and teaching a rude woman like her is really a headache for this palace." ”
“…… Empress...... It is indeed a little inappropriate for Mrs. Jingbei Hou to enter the palace late at night, but ......"
Father-in-law Su was drenched in cold sweat, who would dare to say that he would teach Mrs. Yin Ru of Jingbei today?
In the past, Empress Zhou was polite to Yin Ru and talked about it on an equal footing.
"Isn't the Hou Mansion besieged by the emperor?" Empress Zhao lazily stretched out her finger and pointed at Gonggong Su's red and swollen forehead, "This palace looks at you kowtowing stupidly." 陛xià has never cared about Yin Ru. ”
The candle flame on the side exploded the lanterns, and a moment of brightness brightened Empress Zhao's eyes, "Xiao Yang and Xiao Yue are the henchmen of His Majesty, and the palace will look at it in two months, I am afraid that His Majesty will fall in love with the Yin family." ”
What do you mean by Niangniang's words?
How could he not understand at all?
Father-in-law Su has the right to criticize red, and he claims to be a smart person, could it be that Niangniang said that the emperor would be confused by Mrs. Yin in February?
After all, Yin is a stunning beauty.
Empress Zhao seemed to see through what Gonggong Su thought, her body was even more relaxed, and the fingers on her knees bent and nodded rhythmically, "In the past, maybe Your Majesty would have felt that the Yin family was charming and moving, and she was a first-class stunning beauty, with the experience of being splashed with feces, didn't Your Majesty think she was dirty and smelly?" ”
“……”
Father-in-law Su and the others were so caught that they couldn't say a word.
"Okay, don't delay reading in this palace." Empress Zhao showed a little loneliness, a simple sentence can make the people around her stupid, and no one can pick up her words.
At this time, she missed Xiao Nuan very much.
Gu Mingnuan may not be able to understand her unscrupulous and vicious heart, but the gentle and gentle Xiao Nuan will accompany her.
Empress Zhao took out a scroll with a thickness of more than 1,000 pages from the side and threw it to Gonggong Li beside her, "You go to meet the Yin family outside the palace, and let her kneel to receive the phoenix decree of the palace. ”
"You don't need to read the rules that bind the palace concubine to her." Gonggong Li said softly, "It's useless for her to listen to it, in case she grabs the handle......"
"She dared to enter the palace late at night to ask to see Her Majesty, and the palace had to guard against it."
The tone was full of ridicule and contempt.
Empress Zhao said: "It is not in accordance with the rules for this palace to enter the palace, it all depends on the love of His Majesty, that is, the palace sits in the back seat, and Mrs. Jiang and they also have a mediocre attitude towards the palace, so the palace cannot be a step worse." ”
She sipped the camellia piled up by silk yarn in her hair and sideburns, "What's more, this palace can't allow others to follow the old path of this palace. The Yin clan does not want to charm the Lord again and ruin His Majesty's reputation. If you hand over the harem to me, the palace will not let your majesty down. ”
Gonggong Li hurriedly saluted, afraid that the master would say something shocking, "It's still the master who thinks about it." ”
He dragged the stupid and cold father-in-law Su, and the two left one after the other.
Empress Zhao picked up the bucket color bowl with a leisurely expression.
Gong Shanggong couldn't hide his worry and said softly: "It's not necessarily the end of reading at dawn." ”
It was a book of more than 1,000 pages, and Gonggong Li knew that the master wanted to lose Mrs. Yin's face, so naturally he was slow and slow.
Mrs. Jingbei Hou must be indispensable, and her body may not be able to bear it in the best condition, not to mention that she has just recovered from a serious illness, this toss, Yin Ru is afraid that it is time to recuperate again.
"In the last years of Heizong, the order and rules were chaotic, which caused the collapse of etiquette and music, and people's minds changed." Empress Zhao's voice was faint, "Yingzong and His Majesty only care about major matters, forget to standardize the number of etiquette, the power of the ministers, and there are many people who are not subordinate...... Someday, Hongu will do more. ”
Gong Shanggong was convinced, "With the palace rules, your position is more stable." ”
Empress Zhao had a meaningful smile on her lips, "If we meet Xiao Nuan again, I'm afraid that she will be the wife of a foreign minister, even if she is still in the boudoir, with the rules set by this palace, it is difficult for others to plot against her." ”
She has always been uneasy about Emperor Chu, an emperor always pays attention to the side matters or on the Yin Division of the back house, which makes someone as arrogant as Xiao Yang look down on it?
Emperor Chu just wanted to use a woman or a relative to drag Xiao Yang's hind legs...... Empress Zhao resented Emperor Chu's incompetence, but at this time, she could only watch Emperor Chu remain uncompetitive.
Outside the palace, Gonggong Li walked alone with a scroll, although Gonggong Su was in awe of Empress Zhao, he was so slippery that he didn't dare to offend Yin Ru lightly, so naturally he would not follow Gonggong Li to punish Mrs. Jingbei Hou.
"The queen has a will, and Mrs. Yin kneels to receive the phoenix's will."
His voice drifted far away in the silent night, and the surrounding Jin Wuwei knelt down, the queen mother is really a heroine among women, and the queen mother is not so terrible as if the Xiao family is there.
Yin Ru was stunned for a while, reluctantly dismounted, and slowly knelt down, "The courtier takes the order." ”
Now no matter how flamboyant the Xiao family is, she is still the courtier of Emperor Chu, no matter how arrogant she is, she is not as valuable as the queen of the world, in addition to scolding Empress Zhao in her heart and swearing to return it in the future, she also has to kneel down honestly to listen to Feng's decree.
I thought it was just an oracle, but who knew that Gonggong Li turned the pages of the book and recited a rule.
Yin Ru endured, endured, endured and endured until the sky was completely bright, and hundreds of officials went to court, and this oracle was not finished. (To be continued.) )
PS: Continue to ask for a monthly ticket, now Yin Ru is at a disadvantage, after a while, Emperor Chu's imperial power will be stripped off by Xiao Yang, and then Niangniang will not be really comfortable and strong.
Yang Yangyang: "Does your mother-in-law want to please me in the future?" (There should be star eyes here)"
One night: "I'm my mother's own mother!" (There should be a sense of pride here)"
Niangniang: "Nuan Nuan, I have something to tell you." ”
Yang Yangyang: "My mother is on top, and my mother-in-law is invincible (there should be a whisker and a horse here)"
