Chapter 401: Red Face and Troubled Water
The damp and cold breath coming down from Changqing Mountain hit Lei Gong Town, it was snowing in the sky, the ground was frozen, and it was difficult to travel, the eunuchs and palace maids of Zhaoyang Palace used dustpans to carry dust and soil and poured them in the court, the slippery ground was astringent, and the good treasure could come out to breathe.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw several palace maids surrounding an old woman coming to her, looking at her, Shanbao asked Li Shun: "Why hasn't this old man seen it?" ”
Li Shun's face had changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "This is Aunt Ronghua, who served the Empress Dowager, and I think I just came from the capital." ”
Time is in a hurry, Li Shun still has unfinished words, Ronghua has followed the Queen Mother since he was a teenager, I don't know if it is because of nature or because of that sentence, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Ronghua's style of acting is very similar to that of the Queen Mother, decisive and meticulous and unemotional.
After all, he was not familiar with it, and Shanbao didn't think much about it, thinking that Ronghua was new to the line, and he came to greet himself according to the rules, so he stood quietly at the door, waiting for Ronghua to come forward.
A few steps away, Ronghua stood still, his eyes fell on Shanbao's face, and then looked all the way, measured Shanbao, and then saluted according to the palace rules: "I've seen the queen." ”
With a light smile on his face, calm and serious, this is not the attitude that a slave should have, what a slave and maid should have is respect.
Shanbao flicked his hand: "Auntie doesn't have to be polite." ”
With her aunt calling her, Ronghua bent her knees again: "The queen raised her love, but let the old slave suffer, please follow the old slave to see the queen mother." ”
Hearing that the Empress Dowager was looking for herself, Shanbao's heart shook suddenly, but whenever she heard the words of the Empress Dowager, she would have an ominous feeling and asked: "Do you know why the Empress Dowager is looking for this palace?" ”
Ronghua smiled faintly: "The old slave is just acting on orders, don't ask too much, this is his duty, please forgive the queen." ”
The more she didn't say anything, the more uneasy Shanbao became, and she couldn't help but go, so she had to say, "Auntie, later, wait for the palace to go back and change clothes." ”
Returning to the room, Shanbao Yibi was changed into formal clothes by Zhu Yu and others, and Yibi asked Li Shun, who was scratching her ears and cheeks: "You don't feel good either?" ”
Li Shun thought for a while: "The slave felt that there was probably a problem with the letter that Niangniang handed to Tianyunzhai. ”
Shanbao was stunned, if so, the Empress Dowager really worked hard, she could stare at herself with such a solar term and such a body, and then thought that even if it was really her letter to Hu Haijiao and let the Empress Dowager intercept it, it would not be a big deal, just two words, without the concept of transgressing the rules, not to mention that her dealings with Hu Haijiao were slightly approved by her grandfather.
After changing his clothes, Shanbao took a few palace maids and eunuchs to the Empress Dowager, and silently recited the words of the grandfather along the way.
In this way, if you are determined, you will be carefree.
When she came to the residence of the Empress Dowager, it was the Yixin Hall where the Empress Dowager had lived before, and Ronghua stopped her at the entrance of the hall: "Wait for the old slave to go in and report." ”
Shanbao hummed.
Xu Ronghua came out and asked Shanbao: "Niangniang and the old slave come in." ”
Shanbao was in front, Zhu Yu and Li Shun followed, but Ronghua suddenly turned around and looked at each other with a cold face: "I only said to invite the queen mother in, and the others are waiting at the door." ”
Where can Zhu Yu rest assured, she has an idea and says: "Niangniang is unwell, and the slave maid wants to ......"
Before she could explain completely, Ronghua suddenly became angry: "At first glance, you know that this is the residence of the Queen Mother, not a bandit's nest, and the queen mother of the bandit nest comes and goes freely, and I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not be able to eat the queen's mother." ”
The person who disciplines the queen in front of the queen, as the old saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the momentum of Ronghua can be above it.
Shanbao's face turned pale...... If you can endure it, you can endure it, and if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, and when your grandfather comes back, if so, you will suppress the anger.
Zhu Yu was even more angry and speechless, Li Shun said with a smile: "Aunt calm her anger, when you return to the palace, please teach her more." ”
Ronghua shook his head and went in first.
Shanbao weighed what she just said, she is the granddaughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager, why should she dig out her mind to deal with herself, it seems that the Empress Dowager knows everything about herself, she has heard that there is no relationship between relatives in the palace, there is no relationship between relatives and friends, there is no disagreement, open and secret fighting, and those who are together are just partners, think about this, it is not strange that the Empress Dowager is deliberately looking for her own trouble.
Secretly sighed, the palace in the capital is like a gluttonous beast, waiting for her to throw herself into the net with her mouth open.
Entering the Yixin Palace, the door behind her closed gently, her heart sank, and the hand shrunk in her sleeve clenched unconsciously.
Walking inside, the weather is cold, there are heavy curtains hanging in the room, after a curtain, Shanbao feels that there is a murderous approach, and when he sees the Queen Mother, he finds that she is sitting on the big kang near the window, her face is like the evening sky, gray, like gas, and she is also sick, and she is holding a piece of paper in her hand, Shanbao knows that it is a letter she wrote to Hu Haijiao.
Ronghua replied in the past: "The Empress Dowager, the queen mother is here." ”
Shanbao bent his knees and wanted to say hello, but he heard the Empress Dowager say sharply: "You did a good thing! ”
Then the letter fell and fell like a dead leaf at Shanbao's feet.
Shanbao, who bowed slightly, felt that there was no need for him to greet her, so he immediately straightened up, did not look at the letter, and said without a trace of expression: "Where did the concubine make a mistake, please ask the Empress Dowager to make it clear." ”
Ronghua leaned over and picked up the letter and handed it to Shanbao, Shanbao pretended to be confused and unfolded it, and then asked with a blank face: "This is a letter written by the concubine to Tianyunzhai, is there anything wrong?" ”
The Empress Dowager was almost furious: "You still dare to admit it, since you have already admitted it, you dare to ask the mourning family what is wrong, as the queen, you write a letter to a thief without permission, this is an affair against the thief, it is a rebellion, and the rules can completely abolish your throne and enter the cold palace." ”
After all, the grandfather knew a little about this matter, and Shanbao expected it in advance, so he said indifferently: "The empress dowager is cautious, the concubine can not be accused of rebellion, the concubine is Hu Haijiao who contacted according to the emperor's will, because the emperor wants Hu Haijiao to go south and flatten." ”
This kind of military secret, it stands to reason that Shanbao does not want to say, but if the current situation is not explained clearly, the Empress Dowager will definitely be entangled.
Who knew that the Empress Dowager slapped the table: "Don't use the emperor to threaten the mourning family, even if it is the emperor, he still talks about filial piety." ”
Mentioning the Emperor Taishang, Shanbao hated in his heart and fought back: "The concubine has no intention of threatening the Empress Dowager with the emperor, but this is a fact. ”
The Empress Dowager also knows that this is the truth, but the harem women are unchaste when they interact with men outside, and they are also dissatisfied with the ancestor in their hearts, and he is incompetent as the emperor, and he is incapable of quelling the chaos, so that the woman can show up to ask for a thief, and act with the benevolence of a woman, far inferior to the emperor, maybe his grandson is good, it is because of this woman that he has become cowardly and incompetent, and here, he hates Shanbao even more, and a disgusted expression surfaces on his face: "The emperor is all for you to teach badly, the king of a country should be in the palace, but he is here to guard you, If you don't ask about state affairs in the early days, you will be a scourge.
