Chapter 229: Old Madam Xiao

After three rounds of drinking, the queen was a little drunk, and was about to wash her face and redress her makeup, when suddenly a palace maid came over and leaned into the queen's ear and said: "The old lady of the Xiao family, I want to go to see the lady concubine, and I ask to retire first." ”

The queen glanced at the old lady of the Xiao family who was seated, smiled slightly, and raised her voice: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, it should have been reunited, but Sister Shufei said that she was not in good health, so the palace did not force her to come." But since Mrs. Xiao is also here, she must miss Concubine Shu, Mrs. Xiao please take care of herself, and Sister Concubine Shu must be in a hurry. ”

Old Madam Xiao hurriedly knelt down to thank her, but she didn't dare to say in her mouth, and the people around her persuaded her a few times, and then she respectfully retreated.

As soon as Mrs. Xiao left, someone sneered and said: "It can be seen that she feels sorry for her granddaughter, but it seems that our mother is not generous. ”

The queen glanced at it and saw that it was Chu Yicheng's wife, Yun Shi, so she said angrily: "You are really a temper, she didn't say anything." ”

Another humane: "Niangniang's words are different, this Xiao family has a lot of nonsense outside, and even our women feel ridiculous when they hear it." It's hateful that the Xiao family and my Xiao family are the same sound, which made my grandfather angry. ”

The one who spoke was Mrs. Xiao of the Ministry of Shangshu, and she was also the niece of the old lady of the Qin family, in Guangling Mansion, this Mrs. Xiao had also seen Qiao Ya and had formed a siege for Qiao Ya. The Qin family is already good friends with the Chu family, so naturally this Mrs. Xiao will also stand on Mrs. Yun's side.

As soon as the two of them started, many people also complained about the Xiao family. How many of them are really complaining here. How many are just to shoot the queen's ass, let's not mention it for the time being, but in this way, the Xiao family's reputation among the wives is really stinky.

Besides, on Mrs. Xiao's side, as soon as she entered the gate of Luanxia Palace, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, and her tears couldn't help but fall. The eldest granddaughter grew up in front of her, and when she wanted to send the eldest granddaughter into the palace, she was the only one who objected. On weekdays, she didn't dare to enter the palace to come and see. I'm afraid of seeing my granddaughter wronged. But now the Xiao family's mother is deceased. As the highest-ranking person in the Xiao family's daughters, she naturally had to enter the palace to see her granddaughter.

The fact that Old Madam Xiao cried at the gate of the hall was immediately reported back to Fengqi Palace. Many women laughed at the Xiao family again, what kind of place is the palace. Is it Mrs. Xiao's turn to shed tears here? What does it mean for her to cry? Blame the Empress or the Emperor? This Xiao family has really lived too long. I forgot what my last name was.

The queen duly diverted the conversation. No longer mention the people of the Xiao family, and also order the people below not to care about the situation in Luanxia Palace. You can't always meet flesh and blood. Are you still spying on people's homes?

Everyone put aside the affairs of the Xiao family, and ate and drank again, talking and laughing. At this moment, a palace maid suddenly came to report, saying that Mrs. Xiao left crying and went to the Qiankun Palace.

Everyone looked at each other, looking at the queen and not knowing what to say. No one can do this blatant thing of slapping the queen in the face, is Mrs. Xiao stupid?

The queen smiled calmly, stood up with the palace maid's hand, and looked at the people below: "Ladies, please use it slowly, this palace is a little unaccompanied." If you want to come to the Qiankun Palace, you still need to go to the palace to reply. It was also the palace that did not entertain well, which made Mrs. Xiao feel wronged. ”

The wife was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted "I don't dare", but everyone didn't dare to say that they would accompany the queen, after all, this was the palace, not their inner house. If the handkerchief of the inner house is wronged, they will have to be a witness together.

Seeing the queen supporting the palace maid to leave alone, the rest of the women felt very uncomfortable. This phoenix seat is not easy to sit on, look at what is going on?

Yun Shi came out again and wiped his tears and said: "I see that Niangniang is not old, but she still has to work so hard every day." I heard that even the emperor forgot about this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, but the mother was still worried about us ministers, so she specially opened this banquet to treat us. But I still have to suffer this wrongedness, and I really don't feel good in my heart. ”

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she was shocked, but when she thought of what her master Fan Xunzhen said, she knew that this was the time to give her mother authority, so she also said: "Who said no, in the past, I saw that Concubine Niangniang still knew etiquette, although it was a little extravagant, but it would not embarrass people under this big festival." What a ...... today."

With the two leaders in the front, there were those who answered, and the wives talked about it one after another, and Mrs. Xiao said very tactfully that the concubine was just unintentional, but the Xiao family was too pampered and arrogant, and wanted to suppress the queen through this matter.

So as soon as the wind turned, the topic in the mouths of the wives changed from Concubine Shu to the Xiao family, and Mrs. Yun glanced at Mrs. Xiao, raised her glass, and drank it all.

Compared with the free speech of the woman, on the side of the Qiankun Palace, Emperor Xuanwu was furious. Old Madam Xiao entered the hall crying, confusing everyone, Xiao Qiyu, the head of the Xiao family, chuckled in his heart, and was about to come forward to accuse and lead his wife back. Who knew that Old Madam Xiao moved faster, and knelt down for the emperor in the middle of the hall with a bang.

Finished! Xiao Qiyu thought in his heart, and sure enough, he heard his old lady crying and saying how his daughter was wronged, and she could still be injured in the palace, but it was still her chest, which showed that someone was jealous of Concubine Shu's favor and wanted to hurt her so that she could not serve the emperor.

Xiao Qiyu only felt dizzy for a while, and just as he wanted to interrupt the old lady, he heard a loud shout: "Enough!" ”

Xiao Qiyu also knelt down, he couldn't kneel if he didn't kneel, it was Emperor Xuanwu who spoke just now!

It's no wonder that Emperor Xuanwu was angry, Concubine Shu was kicked by him, but he was not the queen, he knew this better than anyone else. It's just that this old lady Xiao is still a concubine with a bitter life, and she has to lead the disaster to the queen's head, everyone can hear it, she said that some people are jealous, but in fact, she is the queen.

What does she want to do? Give the queen a jealous name, and then let herself remove the queen and praise Concubine Shu as the queen, and then her Xiao family can be powerful? The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but shout.

Xiao Qiyu is not a fool, he was busy making amends to the emperor, saying that the old lady poured a few mouthfuls of yellow soup and began to talk nonsense. The old lady Xiao didn't understand her son's intentions, and she kept reassuring that she was not drunk.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was becoming more and more tense, Emperor Xuanwu's face sank as black as ink. When all the ministers were thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, suddenly the eunuch reported: "The queen mother has arrived-"

All the ministers got up and bowed down one after another, and their hearts were finished, and this time it was even worse. (To be continued.) )
