Chapter 111: Brain Dead
Everyone in the palace quietly digested this explosive news, and before everyone could say anything, Shuyi suddenly stood up, and complained loudly with teary eyes, "Imperial grandmother, how can you humiliate my queen mother like this, she is the queen and the mother of the world." ”
The audience was silent, and the fourth concubine looked at Shuyi with a stunned and incredibly good show expression, looking at her like a fool, and the pity in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
Mingzhu was also shocked, is this Shuyi crazy? What day is today, it is a small year, it is a day of collective celebration in the palace, that is, the emperor has to welcome people with a smile, she is not happy to run on the pole to find it!
What a strange person!
The audience fell silent again because of Shuyi's words, and the Queen Mother grabbed the teacup and fell directly over, shouting angrily, "Presumptuous!" ”
Everyone was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground, "The Queen Mother atons for her sins!" ”
"The Queen Mother atons for her sins! Shuyi doesn't have a heart, Shuyi quickly apologizes to the Queen Mother! "The queen was also stupid, how could she talk like this!
Shuyi knelt on the ground aggrievedly, sobbing, stubbornly refusing to apologize, why did my mother divide her palace power if she didn't do anything wrong?
Mingzhu picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped the water on the hands of the Queen Mother, and said with a slow smile, "The Queen Mother is not angry, I think Princess Shuyi misunderstood what you meant." I thought you didn't like the queen anymore, and you hated the queen, so I asked all the ladies to assist in the palace power. She doesn't know that you are working hard, but in fact, she feels sorry for the queen and wants people to share some tiring and tedious affairs for the mother. She didn't see you at noon the previous day, I think she thought you were angry with her, Shuyi has always been filial, and there are people who misunderstood what you meant. ”
Her voice is melodious, like a clear mountain spring flowing in a mountain stream. With a characteristic coolness and softness. It was extremely comfortable to listen to, so much so that the Queen Mother calmed down.
Concubine Shu immediately added, "Yes, yes, the child should have misunderstood." When I was a child, Brother Yi was disobedient, and I scared him If you are disobedient, I will pull you out and sell you and don't want you, he was so scared that he cried for half a night. It's like a kitten. It made me cry and laugh. She hurriedly gaged, and secretly complained in her heart about how this queen taught her children, she was so open-mouthed when she was so old!
"yes, yes. The Queen Mother, you are angry, and there are children who say the wrong thing without holding back. Mingzhu coax the Queen Mother, you have the best way! "Concubine De is the oldest and the most senior. There are still some things she can say.
This is the mother of the eldest prince Zhou Xing, and she is also the old man of the emperor's mansion. The eldest prince is also the eldest among the princes, and now he is eleven years old, and he can enter the court to run errands in two years. Extremely peaceful.
Concubine De has a very soft temperament and is empathetic, and her family background is slightly lower. She was born as a concubine, and her mother came up with her son. So my ambition is not too big, and I teach the eldest prince to be very well-behaved and docile.
Mingzhu also tilted her head and pursed her lips and smiled, the bell hair ornament in her hair made a crisp sound, with a sly smile in her eyes, "Then I coaxed the Queen Mother, what reward do you give me?" ”
Concubine De was honest and a little clumsy, stared at the beads of her eyes and paused for a moment, and said in amazement: "Huh? I still want a gift, I didn't bring it in a hurry when I came? Do you want to go back and make up for the upside? I have a set of agate heads and faces that look good, I'll send it to you when I go back, you little girls look the best! Good girl, you can do it, you see me trembling on my knees, you help us to intercede, and I will ask you for a gift from them when you turn around. ”
"Hey! Do you make good use of our things? I don't depend on you. Concubine Shu immediately took the stick when she saw it, and glared at Concubine De angrily again.
The other second concubines also laughed and teased you and me, and almost didn't give the queen and Shuyi a chance to talk, one was to appease the angry queen mother, and the other was to squeeze the queen and not give her a chance to plead, so that you would cause trouble and make us kneel on the cold floor.
Mingzhu smiled and tugged on the sleeve of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, let the ladies get up, you see how embarrassed they are all kneeling and standing with me, I don't want to kneel on this cold floor, I'm afraid of the cold." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at Mingzhu, "You have a lot to do." Then he glanced at Shuyi coldly and snorted softly, "Get up." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie." Then the people got up.
"Alright, let's go to the banquet hall too." The Queen Mother didn't reprimand Shuyi, but she didn't give her an extra look, her eyes were full of indifference.
Shuyi was in tears and refused to leave, but was pulled out by the four princes by the collar, and the frightened grandmother was anxiously turning back and forth next to her, but she didn't dare to stretch out her hand to the four princes.
The queen glared at the four princes viciously, and there was a warning in her gloomy eyes.
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince raised his head and said righteously: "The queen mother doesn't need to glare at her son, her son thinks that he has done nothing wrong." Today is a happy day for the New Year, my sister is crying here and grabbing the ground, I don't know what happened to the imperial grandmother? What a panic! And the affairs of adults have their own fathers, emperors, grandmothers, and mothers, and you can discuss them on your own, where is it your turn to get our juniors to intervene? I grabbed Shuyi because I wanted to take her down to wipe her tears, and I went to the front with a crying and mournful face, so that the civil and military officials could see it, and I thought that the harem was dead? Won't my father be angry? ”
The words were extremely clear and reasonable, leaving the queen speechless.
Concubine Shu was smiling at the third concubine's admiration, stood up and reprimanded: "Brother Yi, you stand aside for me, do you have the right to speak?" People have relatives in charge, what's in the way of you? There was also some sarcasm in the words.
The fourth prince obediently stood aside, but muttered unconvinced, "He cried his nose alone and caused all of us to be reprimanded by our father, why should we be scolded and scolded by the ministers for our disdainful eyes on the big day?" "It's not a small voice, and everyone can hear it.
"Brother Yi come here, you support the mourning family." The queen waved to Zhou Yi with a smile, with a kind face and a gentle smile in her eyes.
The four princes rushed over to support the Queen Mother, with infinite surprise and a little nervousness on their faces, and their eyes were shining brightly, like jewels under the night sky, shining.
The queen wanted to reprimand the four princes for a few words, but was robbed by the four princes, and the others nodded again and again to agree that what he said was reasonable, and even a group of princes and princesses nodded in approval, and secretly discussed one after another.
"Go wipe away your tears, fool with no brains." The queen was angry and pushed Shuyi hard, with a thick disgust in her eyes, and her dark eyes hid a hidden storm.
"Okay, if you want to make trouble, go back to your own palace to make trouble, don't make noise in the territory of the mourning family, it really can't be done when the mourning family is dead!" The Queen Mother's cold voice was full of anger and majesty.
After everyone saluted, they rushed out, not daring to say more.
Out of Cining Palace, Concubine Shu said with a smile: "It's time for the queen to teach the child well, it's too bad to speak, and it's better to see you on the big day." After saying that, he walked away and didn't look back.
The queen's face was pale, and she also sat on the royal court and left, leaving Shuyi behind and ignoring it, Shuyi looked at her younger brother Qi with pleading eyes, but she didn't expect the seventh prince to snort coldly at her, and walked away in shame. (To be continued.) )
