Chapter 142: Confrontation (Part II)
Fengyi Hall was quiet.
No one would have imagined that it would be Empress Dowager Gu herself, who repeatedly mentioned Ying Yi, who had been sleeping forever underground, since she wanted to put on a kind mother's face, why didn't she leave the last trace of face for the young girl who turned into a handful of loess?
"The eldest princess of Yingyi originally liked Zhang Chaozong's calligraphy and painting?"
Concubine Lu frowned lightly and replied, with five points of consternation and five points of regret: "There was originally one hanging in the palace of the concubines, but unfortunately it was not a painting of Furong, it was a freehand landscape painting, if the concubine knew earlier, I would have entrusted the emperor to help the concubine put it in the mausoleum of the eldest princess of Yingyi."
Concubine Shu said, Queen Fang's eyes fell on it deeply, if you say that in the long years of this lonely deep palace, who has been with her, Jiang Mingying is one, and Concubine Lu Shu is one.
The princess first touched the moldy head of the Queen Mother Gu, and now she only cares about holding a small cup with her head down and taking a few sips of tea.
Chen Defei was secretly annoyed that Concubine Shu took the lead, snorted, opened her mouth lightly, thought about it or chose to keep her mouth shut, she had never been involved in a partisan dispute in her life, and it was impossible to bet rashly in the current situation of unclear circumstances.
Yes, Empress Fang has always been flexible and takes the lead, but the emperor has always backed down when he encounters the Gu family's affairs.
The old lady and the mother-in-law quarreled, who loses and who wins, this is not easy to judge!
"The mourning family is talking to the queen, what is the concubine interjecting." Empress Dowager Gu's eyes turned to the right with contempt, and she looked very contemptuous: "They are all old people in the palace, and I don't know this rule, so I will keep in my own palace these days and copy a few scriptures." ”
One spoke, and the other fell on Xingzhao again: "The little ladies are all long-sighted, and they grow again after a few days." The county lord of Wenyang come over and let the mourning family take a look."
Xingzhao calmed down. In the afterglow, he caught a glimpse of the corners of Empress Fang's pursed lips, and heard the urging of Empress Dowager Gu in his ears. The little lady lowered her eyebrows, twisted her skirt and got up gently, her eyes fell on the smooth green brick floor, and even the figure was visible.
Xingzhao blinked, and he could see his figure being vaguely projected on the brick surface, and in the blink of an eye, the whole person seemed to suddenly become clear.
She vaguely seemed to know what Empress Dowager Gu was going to do.
What is the use of the use of the tongue? It's better to hold a deck of huge chips in your hands - Gu's is short-sighted, a small family, and only knows how to think about women's ways in everything. But this time to win in a way of fighting between women, no, to keep their invincible position in this situation, it seems to complement each other very well.
Empress Dowager Gu's hand stretched out, her skin was like clotted fat, and her nails were stained with a thin layer of fiery red dancome, which was as bright red as bloodstains.
But Xingzhao remembered the rumors that Gonggong Lin said that after Ying Yi died, Gu's cried several times in the past.
Selfishness is addictive and can never be quit. A lifetime is like a shadow.
Xingzhao restrained his thoughts, obediently bent his knees and blessed him, and said in a steady voice: "The courtiers greet the Queen Mother, and hope that the Queen Mother will be blessed and safe." ”
Empress Dowager Gu smiled and asked the little lady to get up. At the same time, he took the little lady's hand: "I remember that you, the county lord, still asked for you at the request of Yi, saying that you like it when you see it." If it weren't for the fact that the little lady and Ying Yi had no blood relatives, the mourning family would like you to pass under Ying Yi's knees. In this way, the name of the county lord is justified. ”
As soon as the words fell, it was like a heavy piece of iron smashed on the blue brick floor of the Fengyi Palace.
Xingzhao felt a sudden chill in his bones. The last trace of pity she had for Ying Yi was worn out by her mother, who was already insane.
Empress Fang's body leaned forward suddenly, and the dignified Empress almost swept a few plates of dim sum on the wooden table to the ground.
"The emperor still has the heart to laugh when he sees his mother. It will also be comforting. Queen Fang's face sank, she looked sideways at the chiming bell, and looked around, "The hour is not too early, today is a good day for family reunion, but unfortunately this year I am afraid that there will be one less person in the dogwood." If you have the heart, you will accompany Concubine Shu to copy the Great Compassion Mantra, which can be regarded as a friendship with the eldest princess of Yingyi."
The concubines claimed that they were, and thanked Queen Fang for her teachings, and some people got up and retired when they knew the opportunity, but before they could stand up, they were told "Slow!" Frightened, he stopped moving.
Empress Dowager Gu lowered her wrist, clasped Xingzhao, and helped Dan Ko to stand up slowly.
The fingertips are long, pointy, and thinly buckled in the little lady's meat, Xingzhao suffers, but his face is not visible, and even his face has been burned by fire, what is this pain?
"The queen knows that the mourning family never laughs" and didn't know where the Empress Dowager Gu got such a lot of strength, so she pulled Xingzhao over and lowered her voice: "The idea of passing the eldest daughter of Lin'an Hou to Yingyi's knee is a bit ridiculous, and the mourning family knows that the emperor can't agree, so the mourning family thought of a compromise solution."
The old woman's voice was as low as the trembling of her fingers on the guqin.
Empress Fang took a deep breath, and also helped Jiang Mingying to get up, stood up straight, looked at Empress Dowager Gu condescendingly, and waited for the afterword.
"If the Lord of Wenyang is raised in Cihe Palace, it is a good idea. The mourning family came to educate in person, not only to give Lin'an Hou decency, but also to give the little lady decency. Empress Dowager Gu smiled and said slowly: "The county lord of Wenyang is the niece of the queen, but she is also the eldest daughter of the Hou He family in Lin'an, the Great Zhou Dynasty is used to the example of the little lady of the court's important minister's family sent into the palace to be raised by the queen mother's side, the former dynasty's Li Guifei was raised by the side of the Empress Dowager He since she was a child, and the little lady's upbringing is more decent than the royal princess of eight hundred, and there is only half a pillar of incense from the Fengyi Palace to the Cihe Palace, and the queen can come and see it every day."
Sure enough!
This is the usual method used by Empress Dowager Gu, right?
Pinch her in the palm of her hand, the queen will act with scruples, the He family will scruples, this requirement is not too high, the lonely and childless queen mother wants to take the daughter of the courtier in and raise it by her side, to pass the leisure time, no one can say anything wrong!
Xingzhao was so angry that his teeth were sore, and he looked up at Qi Wan who was standing beside him, and the little girl lowered her head when she landed, and moved back two steps invisibly, and then her figure disappeared behind the glass screen of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
"The queen mother has been uncomfortable for a long time, and Grandma is still an ignorant little girl, lest she bump into you!" Queen Fang raised her head and flicked her sleeves, and beckoned to Xingzhao: "Auntie, don't disturb the Queen Mother, come back quickly." ”
Xingzhao struggled with his hands, but Gu's strength was used more tightly.
Xingzhao raised his face, just to see Gu's eyebrows and eyes that drooped down lightly, some people became kind as soon as they got old, but some people became old, the flesh on their faces loosened, and they looked more and more mean, Gu was the latter, when the proud face gradually aged, the originally round chin became sharp like a sharp cone, and the originally high nose bridge looked extremely abrupt on the fleshless face.
Xingzhao has a stump in his heart, mature people doing stupid things will make people smile, but stupid people doing stupid things make people vigilant that they will be dragged into the abyss-like quagmire at any time!
Gu Shi didn't let go, Xingzhao hung his head and didn't continue to say, at this time everything she said was arrogance!
If the handle falls into the hands of the Gu family, it will only make the situation more passive. Why did Gu choose to attack at this time? Isn't it just that Queen Fang will take care of the concubine room in the full hall, and she will maintain the face of the main room with a shelf!
"Old and young, why should the queen mother have a child's temper." Queen Fang smiled softly and paced forward, the crimson embroidered shoes loomed under the skirt, Xingzhao looked down closely, and saw that the embroidered shoes stopped three steps away from her.
"The queen understands that the mourning family is not laughing!" Empress Dowager Gu snorted coldly, and repeated it strongly, "The mourning family gives the He family face, and the queen doesn't give face!" ”
"The queen mother just wants to tease her grandson, Ah Yu is young, and she is not a member of the heavenly family, she is raised in Cihe Palace and is indecent, and the queen mother will be gossiped about when she is tired!"
"Who has the audacity to gossip about the Cihe Palace!"
"Outsiders don't have the courage to say it, but they can think silently in their hearts! It's not that there is no well-behaved little lady of the right age in the heavenly family, the little lady of the Pingyang royal family, the eldest daughter of the Lingyi County family, the fourth princess in the future, the second princess, which one is not well-behaved and skillful, just for you to relieve your boredom? ”
"The mourning family just wants to raise the county lord of Wenyang! The queen doesn't want to disobey the mourning family, and such a little wish is still pushed back, is it because she is afraid that the mourning family will not be able to raise a little lady! ”
"You are a concubine who has been in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, how can you be afraid that you will not be able to raise a little lady? But when I think about it, the eldest princess under your knees is"
"Violence, death, and, death!"
The-for-tat between the two women stops there, and time seems to freeze on the last note.
Queen Fang's hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, her chin was raised high, and the last four words were categorically spoken, word by word, and the words fell to the ground, as if splashing in the air.
Fengyi Hall was suddenly silent, so silent that even the sound of the swaying of the pendulum of the self-striking bell was too small to hear.
Empress Dowager Gu trembled with anger, her hands were raised high, and her voice was so sharp that it seemed like she was about to cut through the beams on the house.
"Fang Li! You slut! ”
The crisp "pop" had not yet fallen, Xingzhao grinned "wow" and cried earth-shattering, and in the hazy eyes of tears, he saw a smeared figure walking inside, crying, while holding the wrist that was pinched red by Gu's with his left hand, and threw himself into Queen Fang's arms, Queen Fang could stagger the slap.
The little lady cried very sadly, but her words were clear and audible.
"Grandma is wrong, Grandma is wrong! I just beg the Queen Mother not to beat her aunt! (To be continued......)
ps: I saw the blessings of a lot of pot friends today, thank you, Ayuan is super happy!
