203 Palace scheming
After the mother mother next to the queen mother ordered the little palace maid to go out to summon people, but after a while, she saw Concubine Wei Shu and took the lead to the queen mother's Cining Palace.
The Yaoguang Palace, where Concubine Wei Shu lived, was not far from the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, so she was the first to arrive, which was not so incomprehensible.
However, what made the Queen Mother feel disliked was that Concubine Wei Shu came alone.
As for Xiao Jiu, who she wanted to see by name, she didn't show up.
Wei Shufei saw that the Queen Mother obviously didn't like her, and even the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, although she was worried and a little frightened, she still tried her best to make a smile and salute the Queen Mother respectfully and softly.
"The concubine has seen her mother's ......".
In order to please the Queen Mother, the women of the harem, no matter what kind of style they do on weekdays, in front of the Queen Mother, they are like people who have no temper and the most supple and square face, and no one will dare to pinch the tip in front of the Queen Mother.
The words of the salute were not finished yet, and the action of the concubine was only half made, who knew that Wei Shufei was ruthlessly interrupted by the Queen Mother.
"Where's Xiao Jiu?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, without giving any face, and asked Concubine Wei Shu directly.
The soft and humble smile on Concubine Wei's face was uncontrollable after the Queen Mother's words fell.
However, even if a heart was beating fast at this moment, almost popping out of his throat, the uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. In the end, Wei Shufei still tried hard to pull the corners of her stiff mouth again, and replied with a generous smile: "Xiao Jiu is infected with the wind and cold, and he has been taking medicine since yesterday evening. The concubine is afraid that Xiao Jiu will be sick and give it to you. I didn't let her come. β
Seeing that the queen mother's face sank completely, Concubine Wei Shu was restrained and flustered again, and while pinching the handkerchief in her hand, she also said: "If the queen mother really wants Xiao Jiu, the concubine will let her get better tomorrow with the cold, and then come to greet you again." β
The Queen Mother didn't look at the stiff and embarrassed Concubine Wei who was smiling. But he sneered sarcastically again, and said, "Let's go and sit on the side first." β
"Yes. It's ......," Wei Shufei replied in fear.
was about to sit down on one side according to the instructions of the Queen Mother, but he saw the fifteenth princess trembling and kneeling on the ground.
When Concubine Wei Shu came from the Yaoguang Palace. I knew that it was the incident that happened yesterday in the mansion of the eldest princess of Changle that leaked.
Then let the maid send the queen mother to send the palace eve, and stuffed the palace e with a good gold inlaid bead and emerald hairpin, and also asked what happened from her mouth.
Therefore, Concubine Wei naturally knew that today was the time when the fifteenth princess was chatting with the queen mother, and she accidentally said something wrong, which caused trouble for them.
At this moment, although I can't wait to step forward and slap the fifteenth princess twice. In the end, he still stood respectfully on the side, but he didn't dare to sit down.
The Queen Mother used the corner of her eyes to squint at Concubine Wei Shu's worried appearance. Seeing her standing on the side with a graceful, dignified and obedient posture, she pursed her lips again, and didn't say anything more.
But after a while, Concubine Lan also came in quickly after the Queen Mother drank a cup of tea.
The eunuchs outside were still making a long announcement, but Concubine Lan was already taking light steps. Walked into Cining Palace.
Concubine Lan's age has also reached more than thirty. However, maybe the women in the palace are more adept at maintenance, and Concubine Lan is the best among them, don't look at her now she is also a woman in her thirties, the soft charm on her body is really attractive, even if she is a woman, and she is conceited and complex, she has never dealt with Concubine Lan, and the arrogant Concubine Wei Shufei couldn't help it, and swallowed saliva with difficulty.
Concubine Wei Shu looked out involuntarily through the wide open palace gate, but saw that surrounded by a group of palace ladies and eunuchs, Concubine Lan Guifei walked in front of everyone.
She wore a new robe today, Zihua and Jinguang Aya, Fengyue Peony Luo robe, and her walking style seemed to be very different from everyone in this world.
Said charming, than green. The woman in the building doesn't know how many times more noble and dignified she is; Speaking of elegant rules, compared with the nobles of the family who were raised by a board and a glance, it adds a little more charm and enchantment.
She walked from a distance, her steps were leisurely and comfortable, as if she was admiring the flowers and willows, and as if she was stepping in the clouds, there was a kind of wanton wind. Flow.
Concubine Wei looked at Concubine Lan who was gradually approaching, although she tried her best to endure it, her eyes were almost red with hatred.
Again, always!
Even if she is the concubine of the dignified Patriotic Mansion and gives birth to three children for the saint, she is not inferior to her, and even far better than her in many aspects.
However, after more than 20 years in the palace, she still couldn't help but be jealous of her, and even wanted to ...... several times Kill her!
However, even if she hated Concubine Lan to die, whenever this woman appeared, her eyes would still revolve around her uncontrollably.
The temperament around her body is indescribable, she just glanced at them from a distance, such eyebrows, such eyes, such grace, standing there, it is not about good looks, but this person, washing away the lead, falling into the mortal dust, can not erase the wind and bones around the body.
Compared with her, even women, even her enemies, even her, when she looked at her, could be so willing, uncomplaining, and low to the dust.
She pursed her lips and chuckled, the expression on her face was indifferent and even a little awe-inspiring, which made Concubine Wei Shu panic and ashamed, and she couldn't restrain it, and took two steps back one after another.
"The concubine has seen the queen mother."
In the silence of the room, Concubine Lan respectfully saluted.
The Queen Mother, who was stunned and stunned, also took a long time before she came back to her senses and replied softly, "Excuse me."
Then, he added, "Sit down." β
Concubine Lan didn't say much, but she responded respectfully, and sat down on the rose chair closest to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at the position where she sat down, she looked good and didn't talk much. Concubine Lan, who has a docile temperament, has no desires and no desires with an indifferent face, and behaves as a person. It seems that Concubine Lan, who has a clear conscience, is also complicated in her heart.
Concubine Lan is not a daughter of a family, she knows this, but if she is asked to tell the truth, she also feels that Concubine Lan's background must be extraordinary.
Although she doesn't know either. What is the origin of her son's concubine?
But. Just look at this dustless elegance, this proud and solemn style, that elegance to the extreme, almost every time she sees it. couldn't help but marvel at her words and deeds, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but admire in her heart.
The girls in the family have to start learning the rules from the age of three or five.
There is no specific measurement and evaluation method for learning the rules well, but it will also be visible at a glance.
Is Lan Guifei's rules good at learning?
Isn't it good?
Wrong!
It's great!
Let's not talk about anything else, just take the posture she walked just now, although the steps are very fast. However, she looks good when she walks, and people can't bear to blink an eye.
I don't see how the hem of her dress rises and falls. I didn't see the glazed rings and jewelry on her body, and they collided with each other and made a clanging sound, but Lan Guifei's whole person, in the blink of an eye, arrived in Cining Palace.
Such a rule of behavior is said to be the upbringing of the grandmothers in the palace. It takes more than ten years of hard work to practice before it can be cultivated; The ladies of the family. shouting about learning the rules all day long, I'm afraid that if I learn for a lifetime, I can't compare to the two points of Concubine Lan.
It's not that she's prejudiced and doesn't like the major families in Kyoto, but that's the way it is.
And it's not that her wife is dazzled and can't see through the truth, I'm afraid that in this palace, any palace lady and little eunuch will also say when they see it: Concubine Lan's rules, standard and elegant, can be used as a template by the world to learn.
The rest of the three concubines in the palace - Concubine Mu Xian, Concubine Wei Shu, Concubine Hua De, and even including the current queen, let the Queen Mother tell the truth, maybe she will also say, if you can't compare, you can't compare, Concubine Lan's pride is in her bones; She is more noble than the queen and the other three concubines, and she has learned the essence of the rules.
"Is the queen mother okay today?"
Concubine Lan has always been neither fast nor slow to speak, after entering the palace for so many years, even if she was framed by the concubines, she almost couldn't turn over several times, although she also cried, she never blushed with anyone once.
Lan Guifei has a perennial smile on her face, however, this smile is light and slightly indifferent, illusory like looking at flowers in a fog, ethereal as if in a dream, hazy and unclear.
"Okay, good ......" The Queen Mother smiled, and while putting the tea cup in her hand on the small table beside her, she also returned to Lan Guifei.
I don't know why, although she has now become the most noble woman in the world, she can take the queen's daughter-in-law at will, and when she is unhappy, she will throw face at the emperor's son. However, the Queen Mother seemed to be unable to stand up in front of Concubine Lan no matter what.
It's like a pirated girl, when you meet a real golden branch and jade leaf, the sense of panic and embarrassment that is very different is always inexplicably embarrassing, and people can't help but bow down and be small, and even the tone of speech is a little awkward.
After all, the Queen Mother always feels like she is a little timid?!
There is no way to investigate the reason, however, when talking to Lan Guifei, whether it is her face or tone, the Queen Mother always involuntarily softens a little, and even the smile on her face is much richer than when she talks to others.
"That's fine." Lan Guifei nodded.
After a slight pause, he said: "The concubine just went to see the queen's mother, and the mother's body has improved a lot in the past few days." When the concubines passed, the palace ladies were supporting the queen and walking in the Kunning Palace. β
At this point, there was a bit of indifferent joy in his tone, "If this situation continues to recover, the imperial doctor said, maybe at the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the empress can also attend." β
"It's great that she's here." The Queen Mother's tone was lukewarm, and when she talked about her daughter-in-law, the Queen Mother, her tone was not as kind and kind as she spoke to Concubine Lan.
"After all, the empress has been bedridden for four years, and it is not an overnight thing to recover, she can attend the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and her family can't ask for it. After all, she is the queen, and she has recovered, which is also the blessing of my Great Wei. β
It seems that she is worried that Concubine Lan is worried about being "seized power", and she will think more and be uneasy. The Queen Mother said again: "The queen's body is better even now." It is also necessary to recuperate for a period of time before continuing to deal with palace affairs. She's not there, and now it's a matter of the palace. It's still up to you to do it. You are a good person, you act steadily, and you can rest assured that you are sad. You should do it with your heart, go back to the mourning family and go to the emperor in person, and ask for a reward for you......"
"Mother-in-law" and the two talked about the excitement, from the body of the Queen Mother to the Empress, and from the Empress to the palace banquet on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. Finally, talking and talking. actually said that the envoys of Nanzhao were afraid that they would have to wait until the New Year before they could marry the princess of Dawei and return to Nanzhao, and the palace banquet also allowed them to have a good time. By the way, it is also good for the second prince of Nanzhao to meet the princesses at the palace banquet and let him choose a suitable one to marry home......
The fifteenth princess who was kneeling on the ground, although she did not raise her head, a pair of small hands was ravaging the skirt of the palace dress that she had changed into today. It's almost unlikely.
Palace banquet, palace banquet, her mother concubine. Since entering the palace, I have never participated in a palace banquet!
The fifteenth princess was resentful, and she couldn't bite her back molars.
However. At this moment, Wei Shufei was obviously more panicked than her, and hated and resented the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" in front of her.
Hate is one thing, and Concubine Wei Shu's heart is even more uneasy at the moment.
Because, Concubine Lan is now discussing with the Queen Mother with great interest the choice of the princess......
Let them not see her at all, if they have no one in their sights.
It's like sitting on pins and needles in Concubine Wei's. The sideburns crow's blue hair was wet with cold sweat. With the two shouts of the little eunuch outside the palace, the eldest princess of Changle actually arrived at the gate of Cining Palace with the county lord of Pingyang.
When the Queen Mother heard that the only only daughter was coming, she naturally happily and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry, hurry, let them come in quickly." β
The eldest princess of Changle and the lord of Pingyang entered Cining Palace and greeted each other with Concubine Lan and Concubine Wei Shu.
After taking a seat on the chair opposite Concubine Lan, the eldest princess of Changle leaned back lazily on the chair and asked the queen mother: "Queen Mother, why did you call the child today?" β
The Queen Mother glared at the eldest princess of Changle unhappily and angrily, and said angrily: "You have always been well-informed, and you are a clever person, can you not know that the queen mother called you today, what is the so-called matter?" β
He pointed a little at the eldest princess of Changle with his finger, and scolded angrily with a smile: "Hugh is not serious." β
The eldest princess of Changle chuckled casually twice, looked at Concubine Lan who had nothing to do with herself and drank tea indifferently, and then looked at Concubine Wei Shu, who was at a loss and sneered at her with a handkerchief, and finally looked at the fifteenth princess who was kneeling on the ground motionless and did not dare to move the county lord of Pingyang, and the eldest princess of Changle also sneered and said: "But the queen mother wants to know, the scandal that happened in the son's mansion yesterday?" β
As soon as the word "scandal" came out, the sneering look on Wei Shufei's face completely collapsed to distortion; The county lord of Pingyang also raised his head suddenly, his eyes were frightened and painful, as if he had been insulted, and he couldn't speak, and tears flowed out like pillars with broken threads.
The eldest princess of Changle is casual, and only people respect her, right now, the ninth princess and the county lord of Pingyang actually made trouble in her mansion, and ruined the reputation of her eldest princess's mansion.
She said again: "If the queen mother wants to know the details, you might as well ask this girl in Pingyang." Oh, the nine girls also know, why didn't the queen mother call that girl too, and ask clearly in front of our elders? It's good for me, who is my aunt, to listen to it, what did I do badly there, offended my two nieces, so that they started a fire and harmed my daughter? β
When the frightened teeth of the county lord of Pingyang began to chatter, and Concubine Wei Shu was at a loss, thinking about whether to kneel down and ask for a crime first, the eldest princess of Changle said again: "Playing clever tricks has come to my Changle mansion, is it really, heh, when your aunt and I are the person who pinches the face, I really have no temper, so I can only let you practice?" β
In the eyes of these elites of house fighting and palace fighting, the farce that the Ninth Princess and the Pingyang County Lord performed successively yesterday was really not enough to watch.
With just one glance, they can guess the cat in that incident.
wants to hide from the world and keep everyone in the dark, let alone the ninth princess, that is, the county lord of Pingyang, who later became a yellow finch and boasted that he was far above the ninth princess no matter whether he had palpitations or success, compared with the most noble women in the world in front of him, they were all mentally retarded, and it was simply not enough for them to waste time to take a look.
The words of the eldest princess of Changle are neither yin nor yang, but her tone pierces people's bones and hurts.
However, no matter how arrogant her attitude is. No matter how much you don't put Kangjun Wangfu and Concubine Wei Shu in your eyes, the eldest princess of Changle also has so much capital.
Who made her the daughter of the current Queen Mother and the eldest sister most respected by Emperor Hongyuan?
Her identity was already overwhelming them. And in this matter, the eldest princess of Changle did suffer a big loss, damaging the reputation and majesty of Changle Palace. The eldest princess of Changle asked for an explanation aggressively this time, which is also human nature.
It's just that her attitude really makes people hate it!
This is a little chance to be sloppy, and I won't give them any more!
Wei Shufei hated and helpless. When even called "eldest princess", then "poof". Knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.
Concubine Wei didn't know how to dissipate the anger of the eldest princess of Changle, and the county lord of Pingyang, who was kneeling on the ground, was really crying at the moment.
No matter what kind of decent image it is, the county lord of Pingyang pulled down the white veil covering his face vigorously.
The fact that the lord of Binh Duong was disfigured. Now I'm afraid it has already spread throughout the entire Great Wei.
However, when I heard that it was the same thing, I really saw it, and everyone, including Concubine Lan, the eldest princess of Changle, and the queen mother, was also frightened The tea cup in their hands was "snapped" and "snapped" a few times one after another, and all of them were smashed to the ground.
Although the lord of Pingyang originally looked good, he was only beautiful. However, because she is a clan girl, and she is on the Jade Butterfly. The lord of the county who was given the title. grew up pampered since childhood, often in and out of the court, and naturally developed a lofty momentum.
has a good temperament, can dress up, and wears extravagant jewelry, even if she is not outstanding in appearance. Take care of it, and she is also a big beauty that makes people shine.
But. Since the night of the death of the old lady in the Kangjun Palace, after being slapped with two big "crosses" on the face, the face of the county lord of Pingyang can't even be said to be beautiful, and some are just hideous and terrifying.
After that, I don't know if it was the old enemy who didn't deal with her before, I drugged her pearl jade muscle cream to remove the scar, so that later, the scar on her face didn't go away, but the scar was uncontrollable, and it began to festering on a large scale in the winter.
The rotten and scarred places, the rest of the places, as if they were also infected.
The terrifying speed and damage of the epidemic, even though the county lord of Pingyang invited all the doctors of the Tai Hospital, in the end, it only stopped the spreading trend, and as for the removal of scars, this may be impossible in a lifetime.
Therefore, now the face of the county lord of Pingyang is really terrifying and disgusting, and the current queen mother, Princess Changle and others, who are so frightened that they are unprepared, are disgusted for a while, and their eyes are even darker.
"You, you ......" Princess Changle leaned on the small table with one hand, covering her eyes with trembling hands.
She wanted the county lord of Pingyang to bring the veil back, however, thinking of her face that seemed to be covered with centipedes, her dark yellowed skin, and her facial features that were already slightly distorted, the next words of the eldest princess of Changle were stuck in her throat and could no longer be spoken.
She kept "you, you", but the county lord of Pingyang was already crying sharply at the moment.
While crying, she also wailed miserably, "Queen Mother, yesterday's incident was Pingyang's fault, Pingyang pleaded guilty, but Pingyang is desperate." The Queen Mother, you are merciful, you show your granddaughter a way to live. β
The sleeves of her arms were pulled up high, revealing her emaciated matchstick-like arms.
The bruises and bruises on the snow-white skin, the rotting flesh that had just been burned, and all rolled up, almost exposing the shoulder blades of the white bones, in front of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess who were so frightened that they gasped.
"The Queen Mother, my grandmother is gone, my father, my father's ...... The Queen Mother, that's Pingyang's father! Pingyang is her flesh and blood, even if she is tortured to death by her biological father, Pingyang will never dare to say a word that her father is not. However, Pingyang can't live like this! Although Pingyang wants to die, Pingyang is unwilling, unwilling......"
His forehead was bruised, and he couldn't stop saying: "Pingyang was blinded by lard, and I just saw Xiao Jiu yesterday, and after giving Mu Changyao the medicine, I thought of it...... The thought of replacing it! β
"You! ......" Concubine Wei Shufei was really stunned when she heard the county lord of Pingyang say such scoundrel words.
But no matter how angry and hateful she is, what else can she say?
Xiao Jiu drugged Mu Changyao?
That's exactly what happened!
Pingyang has admired Mu Changyao since he was a child, although he knew that he had a fiancΓ©e, he still fell in love with him at first sight; Pingyang doesn't want to be infatuated with the wrong payment, even if he knows that he has nothing to do with him in this life, he also knows that he and his fiancΓ©e have a very good relationship, and he doesn't want to get involved between them, so he has become a bad woman and damaged the face of my royal children. However, Binh Duong didn't want to live long, Binh Duong was ...... Those who want to end themselves. β
"But there is only Mu Changyao, only Mu Changyao Pingyang can't let go, for him, his granddaughter is out this time. However, the granddaughter has no bad intentions! The Queen Mother, Pingyang knows that she is guilty and cannot live. Pingyang doesn't want to live without face, after all, now that Pingyang's last concern is over, Pingyang will go down to accompany his mother and grandmother. Pingyang is sorry for my aunt, I'm sorry for the Queen Mother's education since childhood, Pingyang is guilty, Pingyang doesn't want to live secretly, so I'm going to die, Queen Mother, take care......"
As soon as the words fell, in the hearts of everyone, they stood up violently and touched the pillars in the main hall.
"County Lord, don't ......"
"County Lord......"
With everyone's panicked screams, Gong E and the grandmothers who reacted rushed over and wanted to pull the county lord of Pingyang, but after all, they were still a step too late.
Hearing only a dull sound of "bang", the blood on the forehead of the county lord of Pingyang was like an exploding firework, splashing her head and face.
The entire hall was silent at the moment, as if a needle could be heard.
Not to mention the Queen Mother and Concubine Wei Shu, her frightened eyes were about to come out of her eyes, even Concubine Lan, who had been drinking tea calmly and had nothing to do with herself, also fell to the ground at this moment, rubbed over the seat under her, and stood up violently......
