Chapter 144: Paralysis
Chapter 144: Paralysis
The emperor has made a final decision, who would dare to put more beaks?
In the end, the Gu family no longer had the strength to quarrel and shout anymore, and Jiang Mingying and the Empress Dowager Gu's close attendant Dan Ko carried the Gu family out one by one - this is a later story.
Even if there is an emperor's ban, can the mouth and ears be controlled casually? The people in the palace pointed out the bad luck of others and lived happily. What happened in Cining Palace in the morning spread all over the palace at noon, spreading ten to hundreds, and it became more and more evil.
Xingzhao sat cross-legged on the kang and embroidered a sachet with his head down, and listened to the lotus rong's anxious chatter
"There are all kinds of things to say, some say that the Queen Mother was frightened, and then she lost her temper, and there are also whispers that the Queen Mother lost her child, so she also wanted to let the Queen Mother taste this taste."
Xingzhao listened quietly, nodded from time to time, and chose a silver-gray silk thread to thread through the pinhole, but Lian Rong's words made her stop her efforts.
"It is also said that the queen mother is full of momentum, and even the queen mother has to avoid its edge"
"Where did you hear about it?" Xingzhao's fingers ran along the silk thread, and the fingertips were slippery and greasy, and he stopped at the end of the thread and tied a knot numbly.
"I heard the words in front when I went to the small dining room to get your lunch, but the words in the back were heard when I went to the sixth division to receive this month's new tea. The little palace maids were leaning their heads and whispering, but when they saw me going, they dispersed and greeted the flattery of flattery. I got the new tea and grabbed a small palace person and asked, the small palace people are flattering, but what should be said is not exposed, only said one sentence, "The errand of Fengyi Hall is the most important thing in the palace." Now it's even more important! I understood a little bit in my heart. ”
Xingzhao smiled. When did even the reckless lotus rong understand the advance and retreat between people? It's not just her learning to start over. Growing, reborn.
"There must have been more people who have greeted you more than usual in the past few days, and there will definitely be no fewer people looking for your stubble. Pay attention to yourself when you are on an errand, don't be reckless, don't trespass, don't be arrogant, but if someone bullies you, don't be quiet, endure it, I will never watch others bully me. ”
Xingzhao is instructing lotus rong. It is also instructing this big courtyard.
The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, Gu's gaffe poked the emperor's scar, even though the emperor was angry, but in the end, the blood is thicker than the water's mother and son, who knows how it will develop in the future? The Gu family has been running the Six Palaces for many years, and since the words of 'Queen Fang is full of spirit and forcing the Queen Mother to avoid the edge' in the Six Divisions, it is enough to imagine that there are still Gu family manpower in the Six Divisions.
At all costs. As long as the Gu family is silent, the well water will not violate the river and pass slowly, and see if it is Queen Fang who lives long, or whether she Empress Dowager Gu lives long.
Lianrong bent her knees and said yes. The seriousness on his face turned into a hippie smile, and Xingzhao also laughed, squinting and gagging with lotus roots. "Aunt Xiantou is still asking me what I have plans for you and Lianyu. I haven't understood it yet, but I realized it after thinking about it. Lianyu will be sixteen years old when she turns the New Year. You are almost fifteen years old, the rule in the palace is that you can only leave the palace at the age of twenty-five, you two are different, I brought it out from Lin'an Hou Mansion, let's not count it according to that, you just tell me what kind of life you want to live? ”
Lian Rong's neck shrank back, a little stunned, and she grinned stupidly: "Just follow the girl, and in the future, when the girl gets married, I will follow me." The girl remembers to find me a good man, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes, and a body shape that is preferably so tall, and it would be better if you have read some books, but the most important thing is to have a good character, no peeking at other girls, no gambling, no drinking, if you can make money, you will hurt your wife"
The barrage of demands could not be stopped.
Xingzhao paused for a moment, then laughed loudly, and his mood became very good.
This is clearly the lotus seed of Huaishanyuan who can be jealous and petty, will compete for favor, make trouble and cry, but has a more and more tenacious heart!
Even after suffering, there are always people who have something that is there, eternal and unchanging.
Twilight, Xingzhao cried for such a long play, and at noon he hurried to embroider the sachet, his eyes were dry and uncomfortable, and he lay on the edge of the bed and half-closed his eyes before it was dark, squinting his eyes in a daze. I don't know how long it took, half-asleep and half-awake, the outer hall suddenly made a noise, Xingzhao opened his eyes suddenly, and he didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he leaned into the half-open window canopy to look outside.
It happened that Lianyu was on duty at night, so he served Xingzhao with warm water and drank it first, and said softly: "It's not that there is an accident in the front hall, it is something that has happened at the end of the Cihe Palace." The queen mother announced the verdict of the court, and Aunt Jiang specially asked people to come over to ask you to rest assured"
Xingzhao's hands tightened, and he remembered for no reason that on the night when his mother died, he leaned forward, hurriedly got off the kang with cold hands and feet, put on the clogs, put on his coat and went to the main hall.
Before he walked through the verandah, he happened to meet Jiang Mingying, Jiang Mingying walked in a hurry but his face was not flustered, and he remembered to bow to Xing Zhaofu first, "Although the county lord is at ease, the queen mother is very good, it was in the middle of the night Dan Ko cried and cried to come over to buckle the palace door of the Fengyi Palace, saying that the queen mother had an accident, where can the queen mother still sit still, and hurriedly announced the judgment of the Zhang Yuan and went to Cihe Palace." ”
"Is the Queen Mother really sick? Do you know the emperor? Is my aunt back now? Xing Zhaoqiang stabilized his mind, and couldn't help but think in the other direction, is Empress Dowager Gu cheating or doing? Is it to deceive Queen Fang, or pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic! Do you want to put Queen Fang into a situation of disloyalty, injustice and unfilial piety!
The little lady looked flustered, and her little face turned pale in an instant.
If you care about it, you will be chaotic, so that all the grass and trees will be soldiers, right?
Jiang Mingying smiled, bent down and took the little lady's hand and turned around to walk towards the main hall, and whispered: "The queen mother has returned." The Queen Mother is really sick, lying on the bed half of her body can't move, she can't speak, it's so serious, how could the emperor not go, not only went but also stayed there, let the Queen Mother come back first"
In the past, the world bank Zhao had seen this situation in the village, some old people would have symptoms when they were very angry, their faces were crooked, their noses were slanted, they couldn't move, they couldn't speak clearly, and they were sober from time to time, but most of them were difficult to recover from their original state.
Empress Dowager Gu has been pampered for so many decades, climbing from a down-and-out good family to this position, wanting to be windy and rainy, but she lost her young daughter for a while, and her mother's handle was held in the hands of others.
First sweet and then bitter, a lifetime of good luck ran out, and it was miserable.
Those who have climbed to the top of the mountain and fall into the col, no one can stand it, right?
Xingzhao breathed a long sigh of relief, her trembling hand was finally calmed down by Jiang Mingying's hand, she was really scared!
Jiang Mingying hurriedly got up and held on, smiled and gently raised his eyebrows to help Xingzhao pat the ash on his skirt, and whispered: "You and the queen mother really have a mother-daughter fate, the slave maid has been by the queen's side for decades, and I have never seen the queen lose her temper. How do you know that the county lord still knows how to let him go to the Yiyuan Hall at a young age, he is bold and careful"
While speaking, Xingzhao stepped across the porch of the inner hall, and at a glance saw Queen Fang who was removing her makeup from the rhombic mirror, and ran over to hug her, shouting that she was going to sleep next to her aunt today. Queen Fang didn't follow her, her expression was both stunned and gratified, and she hugged the little lady in fear, like embracing the whole world.
Early in the morning of the second day, the emperor rarely went down early, appeared at the morning ceremony in the Fengyi Palace, and said something that made people tremble, "The queen mother is not in good health, except for a few princes and princesses who want to go to serve the sick, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines also take turns to wait, this queen is arranged." He also said, "I also know the temperament of a woman's family to talk and pass on, but what is the place in the palace, remember to think twice when saying and doing, if I hear any gossip, it will not be as simple as letting the queen focus on thoroughly investigating the six palaces." ”
The emperor, who seemed to have been hit on the head by good luck, still spoke as hard as he did in the court in the face of the women who slept with him.
Tossing all night, Cihe Palace was brightly lit, Fengyi Hall was noisy, how could the palace concubines not know, even Concubine De, who had always loved to talk, did not dare to stay longer, and retreated with the general flow.
The emperor and queen had nothing to say, guarding the empty hall containing wetness.
Queen Fang's heart was sour, like drinking a cup of sour plum soup in the summer, but it made her stomach cold and sour, sighed lightly, poured tea for the emperor, and handed it over with both hands: "Last night, Dan came to knock on the door, saying that the queen mother fell in the path, and after helping her up, she was speechless. If there was no reason for the dispute between the concubine and the queen mother yesterday morning, where would such a result come out, it was always the concubine's fault"
The emperor took the teacup, took a sip, and did not answer.
Empress Fang didn't speak anymore, she and the emperor had been together for decades, yesterday the emperor was really angry, but now the guilt and self-blame are also true.
The timing of Gu's illness was ingenious, and all of a sudden the emperor forgot what Gu said and what Ying Yi did! It's okay if you're really sick, you can't make waves in the harem, you can't have a bad heart, the emperor is a donkey, soft-hearted and soft-eared, even if you have a grudge in your heart now, you can smooth it by the way.
But don't forget, who gave the last order!
Empress Fang lowered her eyes, her heart was silent for dozens of times, and sure enough, she heard the emperor's words: "Ah Li, you have never called yourself a concubine in front of me. Where there is a cause, there is an effect, but the cause does not arise from you" (to be continued......
