Chapter 393: Summoned
As Jiang Xuan expected, Empress Dowager Wu had already been overwhelmed by the matter of the crown princess.
Helplessly, the news from the Qinzheng Palace was impenetrable, and the Empress Dowager Wu didn't even know what the crown princess had done, so that she would be placed under house arrest in the East Palace.
Although the crown princess was born in the Wu family, her personality is quite stubborn, and she has never confided in it.
At this point, there is no chance to ask in person.
In the Fengning Palace, the Empress Dowager Wu was in a dilemma.
If you go to the emperor to intercede for the crown princess, you don't know where to start.
If you don't go, with the current situation of the crown princess, it will undoubtedly drag down the future of the emperor's eldest grandson to a large extent.
When the Queen Mother didn't know how to be a good stall, Mrs. Wu came to disturb her family house trivialities, and she definitely didn't get a good face.
As soon as the Queen Mother heard that she was coming, she guessed her purpose and refused directly.
In the past, the Queen Mother helped her a lot in these things in the Hou Mansion. First, everyone is from the same family, quite close; Second, the Queen Mother also had hopes for the strength of Marquis Jingyuan.
Don't admit it, Jingyuan Hou can't support the wall, and in recent years, he has simply become ill. And Jiang Xuan, who was suppressed, suddenly rose to prominence, as if he had some of the legacy of the old marquis.
Although Jiang Xuan has not yet been accepted by her for her own use, Empress Dowager Wu has not given up......
Looking at Mrs. Wu again, after being rejected by Fengning Palace, she was even more anxious.
For her, this is not the first time she has been given a cold reception by the Queen Mother, and she is inevitably flustered, and she always feels that this backer does not value herself as much as she did in the past.
Once there is this kind of cognition, with Mrs. Wu's mind. It is necessary to find another backer to be at ease.
So, the ghost made a god, and she turned a corner in the palace. Go straight to the East Palace.
Asking to see the princess was unsuccessful.
Mrs. Wu, who didn't know anything about house arrest, only felt that it was the crown princess and didn't want to pay attention to herself.
Just when she had no more thoughts and planned to return in vain, she was naturally ecstatic when she heard the queen mother's invitation near the palace gate.
Follow the maid back to Fengning Palace, and the Queen Mother is already waiting for her in the side hall.
The Queen Mother sat upright on the main seat, wearing a yellow embroidered gold gown. The weaving gold cloud dragon pattern is a more casual appearance in regular clothes, and the hair is also slightly light. Only the jade the size of a pigeon's egg in the middle of the forehead is very good. But it's not hard to see that this outfit is quite rushed.
At this time, the Queen Mother's expression was serious and dignified. But the complexion seems to be a little bad.
Mrs. Wu said secretly in her heart. This is somewhat similar to myself, as if there is something difficult to understand in my heart.
"It's Lan Ying here!" The Queen Mother's tone was very affectionate, and she continued: "As soon as I heard that it was you, I hurriedly asked them to call you back." These palace maids are becoming more and more disproportionate, and although the mourning family is tired, they will not even see you! ”
This is clearly not the truth, but the politeness.
But when Mrs. Wu heard this, she was overjoyed. I just feel that the Queen Mother treats herself as close as ever.
She didn't think much about it, and put it in one breath, "Jiang Xuan is an unidentified woman." I was disrespectful to myself".
In the process, it is inevitable to add oil and vinegar.
After her description, Lijuan became a real Fanmeng spy, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
And when Yu Linwei took her back to Qinyi Courtyard, she was about to turn into Jiang Xuan directly violent her......
Mrs. Wu was foaming at the mouth.
The Queen Mother listened to it, knowing that there was too much water in her words, but she didn't bother to delve into it.
Whether Lijuan is a Fanmeng person or not, the Queen Mother knows better than anyone else.
Seeing that the Queen Mother did not question it, Mrs. Wu continued to inch inch, wiping tears with a handkerchief, and said: "No matter what, I am his mother, and he treats me like this, he really doesn't even care about filial piety and shame!" Please also ask the Queen Mother to call the shots for me! ”
Mrs. Wu's voice even trembled a little.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she only sneered in her heart, but she opened her mouth to persuade her.
"Your feelings, the mourning family quite understands. But you must know that the identity of the Marquis of Jingyuan is no longer what it used to be, and he is no longer a child in the Hou Mansion, but a general with outstanding military achievements in the court. Although the mourning family is the queen mother, she is a female generation after all, how can she easily condemn the court officials? What's more, he is still a meritorious man! ”
The Queen Mother's words made some sense at first glance, but they made Mrs. Wu's mind even more confused.
The Queen Mother changed her words for a moment, and then said: "Saying this, it's not that the mourning family doesn't want to help you, but to show you the way." ”
"I hope the Queen Mother will make it clear!" Mrs. Wu's face was full of excitement.
Seeing this, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth hooked up for a moment, and she first retreated from the left and right before explaining: "Since he is a member of the imperial court, we have to use the methods of the imperial court to solve it." Now the emperor attaches great importance to Jiang Xuan, and no one can easily move him, but the future prince ...... I don't know what kind of attitude he has towards Jiang Xuan......"
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was shocked, and she couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the Queen Mother.
After the shock, thinking about the meaning of these words, she was not very optimistic.
The ownership of the position of the prince is not enough if it is the eldest grandson of the emperor.
In case it is King Jing...... This Jiang Xuan is not even more reversed!
Between the lightning and flint, Mrs. Wu seemed to understand what the Queen Mother was referring to.
If she and the Queen Mother have any common wishes, then the succession of the eldest grandson of the emperor must be one of them.
"Look, what's there for me to do?" Mrs. Wu was not sure what she was going to do.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother was very satisfied, and raised her hand to signal Mrs. Wu to come closer.
Mrs. Wu hurriedly walked to the Queen Mother and bowed her head to stand by.
The Queen Mother immediately put it in her ear and said something for a long time......
When Mrs. Wu came out of Fengning Palace, her expression was still a little panicked.
She still didn't leave the palace directly, but went around the East Palace.
This time, the person she asked to see was no longer the crown princess......
At noon, Mrs. Wu returned to the Hou Mansion.
At this time, the atmosphere of Yuyuan returned to the original state of the morning.
Lunch had already been set up in the hall, and the maids all retreated, leaving only Lu Zhu alone.
She watched as the prince came in with his wife in his arms, and the lady tried to break his hand several times, but it seemed to be unsuccessful, but the reluctant expression on her face was throughout.
Shi Ziye was by his side and was careful, and there was no serious look on his face.
Compared with other maids, Luzhu is definitely well-informed, plus Mother Ye's teachings on weekdays......
Therefore, when Luzhu saw this at this time, he didn't mean to come forward to help at all, but immediately lowered his head, and didn't look at the two people before they met.
Anyway, Madame's weakness was not due to illness, so she had nothing to worry about.
After the two of them sat down, Lu Zhu moved to the table and began to make dishes silently.
It's just that before Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan had eaten a few bites, the maid Qiulan came in to spread the word.
"Someone came from the palace, please ask the lady to go to the East Palace, saying that Concubine Lu has been invited."
Lu Qingrong was stunned.
I was still worried about Lu Manyu in the morning, so I came to invite. (To be continued......)
