Sure enough, Mingzhu said: "The reason why the stepmother didn't let you know was because of the capital, and they were already dealing with this matter." It was handled by the Queen Mother herself. ”

"The Queen Mother knew at the time, and she was very angry, and immediately called her stepmother and me into the palace, as well as Bai Guifei, and the Queen Mother was also called over. At that time, as soon as we entered the door, the Queen Mother had a gloomy face. You know that. The impression of the Queen Mother has always been graceful and generous, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. After the emperor ascended the throne, although the queen mother was the supreme queen mother, she did not have much to do, and she had always lived in a simple place and was deeply respected by the emperor. ”

"But this time, he actually called all four of us at the same time, and his face was gloomy, and everyone was very strange and uneasy. It's just that I secretly glanced at my stepmother, she looked as usual, maybe I already knew in my heart, knowing that I was looking at her, my stepmother also quietly gave me a look, and I was at ease. ”

"The queen mother and the concubine mother both greeted the queen mother, especially the concubine mother, who smiled kindly and was not affected by the queen mother. However, the Queen Mother did not ask the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine to get up, but let the two of them kneel all the time, and after half a ring, everyone knew that the Queen Mother was angry with the queen or the concubine. You don't know, at that time, my stepmother and I were standing there, but the queen and the concubine were kneeling, which really made me uneasy. However, I peeked at my stepmother, and she was an old man, and I could only stand in fear. However, the queen mother has been kneeling respectfully, but the face of the concubine has changed. I saw her secretly give her a look to the big palace maid next to her. Her big palace maid went out quietly. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but snort coldly.

Mingzhu said, "Sure enough. After a while, the emperor hurried over. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but smile and said, "The emperor is really interested in Bai Guifei?" ”

Mingzhu sighed and said: "No, the emperor is here, and when he sees this, he can't say anything, but he just asked the queen mother to say goodbye according to the convention." The Queen Mother saw that the emperor's face was a little better, and asked the emperor, wasn't the previous dynasty still busy? I heard that the victims in Jiangnan have not yet been dealt with, and there will be a snow disaster in the northwest, so many national events. The emperor did not convene the ministers in front of him to consult. Why did you come here? This ear is too fast. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "It turns out that my aunt still has such a sharp side? ”

Mingzhu shook his head and said, "At that time, the emperor was also very embarrassed, and he couldn't stand still, so he hurriedly made a salute. A few words explained. The Queen Mother didn't force it. Instead, it was straightforward. The emperor must feel sorry for his concubine. Then she will explain this to the emperor today. She is going to punish the queen and the concubine today. The emperor hurriedly asked them what they had done wrong. The queen mother talked about the Wang family's children, and then said, Yangshantang. The whole world knows that she opened it, and officials at all levels respect it, and they have rescued I don't know how many people, how many orphans have been rescued, but I didn't expect that some people, when they should donate money, will not pull out a dime, but use Yangshantang to help people in such a place to harm people, it is really a wonderful idea. She punished the concubine for this matter today. As the lord of the six palaces, the queen mother can't even control a palace concubine, so useless, so she has to be punished, and next time if the queen can't control the concubines in the palace, just ask the emperor to change a queen. After saying this, he also blamed me and my stepmother, saying how do we manage Yangzentang? My stepmother and I also quickly knelt down and confessed our mistakes. ”

The emperor didn't know about this matter, and when he heard this, his face suddenly looked bad. Stared at the concubine Niangniang closely. The concubine Niangniang cried and said that she was in the deep palace and didn't know about it, and it wasn't necessarily the Bai family's doing. ”

At that time, the emperor hesitated. At this time, the Queen Mother was furious and ordered the palace maid Yu'er to go over and slap the concubine's mouth ten times. The concubines were stunned. The queen mother said that she was the queen mother, which was to punish the emperor, and the emperor only had to listen. punished the queen, and the queen didn't say a word. Reprimanded me and my stepmother, neither of us spoke. Why hasn't she said anything yet, she is making trouble in front of the Queen Mother like this? Isn't this true, the Queen Mother deliberately embarrassed her as a palace concubine? Could it be that the Queen Mother wronged her? Then, the Queen Mother burst into tears, saying, no one dares to roar like this in front of her, how long has the emperor gone? She was humiliated like this, she pulled off the jewelry on her head, put her hair on it, and prepared to leave the palace and cry for the emperor. ”

In this way, the emperor couldn't stand still, glared at the concubine deeply, and scolded the concubine loudly, and the white concubine was too frightened to speak. The emperor knelt down and begged the Queen Mother to calm her anger. My stepmother and I could only kneel, the queen mother ignored it, insisted on leaving the palace, and in the end it was the queen mother who interceded, and the queen mother gave up. ”

Chen Wenhui was stunned and said, "My graceful and luxurious aunt will still sprinkle like this? Guothen Palace is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and the concubines of these harems are all eighteen martial arts. Noble and glamorous, graceful and luxurious, kind and generous, shrews scold the street fan. ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "But where did you get so many words?" Hey, but, what you said is really right, at that time, the Queen Mother made such a fuss, and we were all stunned at that time, only the stepmother was still calm. ”

Later, the emperor and the queen personally served the queen mother and returned to the inner palace to rest. After coming back, the emperor didn't even look at the concubine. Went straight to the front court. The queen just said to Bai Guifei, you can do it yourself, and left. We're gone. ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "Then the emperor was so angry, didn't he punish Bai Guifei and the Bai family?" ”

Mingzhu covered her mouth and smiled: "How can it not be punished? Bai Guifei was fined and grounded for three months, and the prince and princess born to Bai Guifei were originally raised by Bai Guifei's side, but now they were taken to the sixth prince and the princess to be raised. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little surprised and said: "It's okay to punish Bai Guifei, why do you still deprive others of the right to raise their children?" ”

For Chen Wenhui's strange words, Mingzhu has long been accustomed to it, and continued: "The Bai family is also unlucky, many of the Bai family's affiliated forces in the capital were demoted and transferred by the emperor. Bai Guifei is said to wash her face with tears every day. Now there are many palace concubines who give birth to children in the palace, but everyone raises their own children, only Bai Guifei has no right to raise children, and even Wang Shufei still raises the prince she gave birth to. Can Bai Guifei not be sad? What's more, although the princess she gave birth to was older, she had been in poor health, and when she heard about the princess, she fell ill. The prince is only a little older, and he has been sick a few times. Bai Guifei was terrified every day. ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "Isn't this child Liu Yan's child?" Is it Bai Guifei's life? ”

Mingzhu also sighed. Then he said: "Because after the emperor ascended the throne, the Queen Mother has always been very low-key, but this time the incident made the entire harem and the entire court understand that the power of the Queen Mother has not decreased, but has increased, which annoys the Queen Mother, which is not a wise choice." Of course, my stepmother and I also took the opportunity to clean up the Yangshan Hall. ”

Chen Wenhui sighed and said, "Liu Yan is really cold-hearted and cold-faced." Hey, these palace fighting tricks are really boring. Generations have been like this, when will it be a head? ”

Mingzhu said: "The emperor just sent the Bai family, and he was afraid that he would not be able to save the queen mother's heart, so he deliberately lowered his will and sent half of the army stationed in the southwest to support Princess Lichuan." This made the Queen Mother happy. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "The matter of co-authoring the children of the Wang family is cheaper Princess Lichuan?" ”

Mingzhu said: "What's more, the most polished in the palace are the queen mother and Ma Shufei." The queen mother is the emperor who feels sorry for her, because he dotes on Bai Guifei and makes the queen mother eat and hang up, so he is very good to the queen mother recently. Concubine Ma Shufei was originally as favored as Bai Guifei, but this time Bai Guifei was eaten and hung up, so naturally Ma Shufei was favored. The Ma family has also risen. ”

Chen Wenhui sneered.

Mingzhu said: "Forget it, we won't discuss these things." Anyway, the Queen Mother has already taken care of it, let's discuss how to celebrate the New Year, right? We can just have a clean New Year in Zhuangzi during the Chinese New Year, but after the New Year, those noble ladies in the south of the Yangtze River should come to the door, but I am afraid that we will not be idle. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while and felt annoyed. But there is no way to do this, after all, it is not good for those noble ladies, after all, it is all related.

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, we can only receive it." I see, I invited Sister Qiaozhen, Sister Yuyan, and Sister Caiyu to help us entertain guests, right? Just the two of us are busy coming over. In this way, we can also reduce some of the pressure, and the three sisters also have some incense. It's just that this will trouble the three sisters. ”

Mingzhu said: "This method you said is good. Although it bothers them, they can also get to know a few more people, which is good for the family and themselves. Yu Yan is just that, it is of great benefit to Qiaozhen and Sister Caiyu. After all, they still have to rely on the officials in Jiangnan to do business. ”

Chen Wenhui posted to these three people, coming over after the New Year. Sure enough, the ladies of Jiangnan all came to visit Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu. Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu invited the three good sisters to help them entertain them, and it only took a few days to get everything done. Those ladies all saw Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu, and they treated these ladies well. And, of course, received a bunch of gifts. Jiangnan is originally a rich land, and these noblewomen have a heart and are naturally generous. Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu can also be regarded as making a small fortune.

Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu thanked the three sisters for their help, and deliberately closed the door on this day to thank the guests, in their own Zhuangzi, to thank the three good sisters for the banquet. (To be continued......)
