Chapter 185: Persistence
The Empress Dowager's decree was placed on several cases in front of Zhou Heng, and it was Kong Chun who came to deliver the decree, sitting under Zhou Heng with his hands down, still smiling kindly.
"The Queen Mother's treatment of the prince is really different. The prince of Jin married two squire daughters at once, which is really a blessing. Kong Chun stood up as he spoke, and said, "Please let the prince of Jin accompany the old slave into the palace to thank the mother." ”
How can the concubine use the word marry?
Zhou Heng hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Yes, Mr. Kong, please." ”
"Lord Wang, please." Kong Chun made a gesture of humility. No matter how arrogant he is, in the end, he is a royal slave, Zhou Heng's domestic slave, where does he dare to walk in front of Zhou Heng?
Zhou Heng was not humble, crossed him, and walked out of the door of the flower hall.
Huanxi wanted to remind Zhou Heng several times that he didn't change his clothes, but when the words came to his lips, he shrank back.
In Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother sat on the Luohan bed. There were two boxes of jewelry on the kang table, and on the other side of the kang table, the queen took the jewelry in the box and looked at it very carefully: "Okay, why did the queen mother take these out?" ”
Not to mention that the pattern is outdated, and the color of the red gold is not enough, how can you get it if you want to reward people.
The Queen Mother smiled: "Tomorrow, the female doll of the Yao family will enter the palace to thank her, and I want to find a few things to reward her." ”
The queen's face was strange, and she said, "Why do you reward her with these?" ”
Kong Chun went to issue an edict, and the news of the marriage came out. As soon as she heard about it, she rushed over immediately, but it was too late, Kong Chun had already left the palace gate and couldn't chase back. At this point, there is no need to persuade again.
The Queen Mother's hand stroked a pearl-encrusted hairpin on the top of the box. The beads are extremely small and gray. It doesn't look like a pearl, it's more like a fish, the color of the red gold is not good, and there is a thin layer of rust on it, but if you don't look closely, you can't see it.
"This was given to me by my mother when I was fifteen years old." The Queen Mother said with her memories: "Decades have passed, but I didn't expect me to marry the first emperor and become the queen." First the emperor collapsed and then the emperor. became the queen mother again. ”
The queen's face changed suddenly, and she said: "Queen Mother, this hairpin has this origin, and she can't reward Yao's." ”
The Queen Mother was stunned. "Why? ”
Although she named Yao Huidong as the concubine of King Jin. It's just to find an equal opponent for Cui Keyin. Where is it really for Zhou Heng's sake? asked the palace people to turn out these old hairpins and reward them to Yao Huidong, in order to humiliate Yao Huidong, saying that she only deserves to wear old jewelry.
The queen's expression was grim. said: "Who in the world has such a great blessing as a queen mother? The queen mother rewarded Yao's hairpin when she was a girl, so that she would be the concubine of King Jin and give her face. The hairpin has an extraordinary background, and there must be those who are so thoughtful that they will wonder if the Queen Mother hinted at something to the Yao family, and then speculate about the future of the fourth brother. ”
She said tactfully, but the Queen Mother understood at once, and immediately ordered the palace people to put away these jewelry, and said: "It's just a side concubine, just reward two red seals." ”
"The Queen Mother is right." The queen breathed a sigh of relief.
The two then talked about how it was time to prepare their spring clothes, and asked them to choose the fabrics presented by the workshop.
The chamberlain came to report, and the king of Jin entered the palace to thank him.
The Queen Mother smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, "How can there be a cat that doesn't steal fish?" It's a pity that this kid married a girl from a family, and he was overwhelmed, and there was no one around him who knew how hot or cold. ”
The queen smiled and did not speak.
Zhou Heng came in, finished his salute, knelt down and said: "The queen mother loves the heart of her sons, and the sons remember the five hearts." It's just that the sons and daughters like to live a simple life, one porridge and one meal, one clothes and one clothes, one husband and one wife, which is enough. ”
The Queen Mother didn't hear clearly, and asked the queen: "What did he say?" ”
The queen asked Zhou Heng: "Do you want the queen mother to take back her fate?" ”
The Queen Mother instantly understood, and said angrily: "The holy decree has been issued, how can it be changed?" ”
The emperor's decree cannot be changed, and the queen mother's decree cannot be changed. However, the Queen Mother forgot that her edict had never been out of the noon gate.
"The retainers did not receive the holy decree stamped with the jade seal." Zhou Heng held up the bright yellow silk silk issued by Kong Chun, presented it, and said, "Please take back the queen mother." ”
The emperor's holy decree can't be taken back, she's not a holy decree, she can take it back? The Queen Mother was so angry that she stroked her heart with her hand, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"The Queen Mother?" The queen hurriedly stepped forward and stroked her back, and said, "Does the queen mother feel better?" ”
It took a long time for the Queen Mother to relieve, and her hand slapped heavily on the kang table, and said, "You rebel, dare to disobey the will of the mourning family?" ”
I wanted to make Cui Keyin so angry that she miscarried, but she didn't expect Cui Keyin to shrink into the turtle shell and not come out, but Zhou Heng came out for her, she was really angry.
"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen just doesn't want to delay Miss Yao's good youth." Zhou Heng said: "The queen mother gave marriage, and the sons accepted the order, but they did not admit to the door; When she enters the door and does not enter her courtyard, will she not be mistaken? After a long time, Yao Shilang must have an opinion. When the time comes, how will the queen mother explain to Yao Shilang? ”
"You ......" The Queen Mother pointed at Zhou Heng and was choked speechless.
The queen was busy playing the round and said: "The fourth brother is reasonable, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet." Why don't you talk about this later? ”
How could the Queen Mother agree, and said, "Are you worried that the Cui family will not agree?" You let her enter the palace, and the mourning family told her. ”
"Queen Mother, Keyin needs to recuperate, how can she take a car and a sedan chair?" Zhou Heng refused to let Cui Keyin enter the palace anyway.
The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family personally came to the house and told her, this is always okay, right?" ”
Zhou Heng smiled and said, "What does it have to do with her?" It was Erchen who didn't want to let Miss Yao come to the door. Erchen and Yao Shilang made it clear. ”
He stood up as he spoke, and turned to go out the door.
"Hey, stop him." The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Go and invite the emperor." ”
Thinking that Emperor An was not on her side, he changed his words and said, "Forget it, let's Xuan Wangzhe come over." ”
Zhou Heng hurriedly walked out of the palace to find Yao Shilang in the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zhe heard that the Queen Mother Xuan, I don't know what happened, and the fart came upside down.
After Wang Zhe finished saluting, the Queen Mother said: "The emperor has always listened to you, and the mourning family ordered you to persuade him to let Ah Heng accept the Yao family as a side concubine no matter what." ”
Wang Zhe thought there was something important, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter. The Queen Mother said unabashedly that the emperor obeyed him, which made him feel so proud that his head was hot, and he said, "Yes, the old slave will go." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, and after Wang Zhe left, she inadvertently saw that the queen's face was not quite right, and asked, "Are you sick?" ”
The queen felt a sense of sadness inexplicably in her heart, and she didn't bother to say anything, she only shook her head and said, "My daughter-in-law is leaving." ”
After leaving Kunning Palace, she sent someone to the Jin Palace, and passed the word to Cui Keyin.
At this time, Cui Keyin and Cui Zhenyi sat opposite each other in the banquet room to drink tea, and received a message from the queen, they were really moved, and rewarded the two thick seals of the inner servants who passed the message, and said: "Please return to the queen's mother, the concubine is well." ”
Since pretending to be sick can't change the status quo, it's better to face it directly. (To be continued......)
