Chapter 36
36 [The sin of killing the head] has caused a big disaster + closed training
This kneeling, Mrs. Zhao's psychological strength was all gone.
She entered the palace confidently to ask for support, but as soon as she knelt down and kowtowed, the qi that supported her ran away without a trace.
The queen's righteous hat was buttoned down, and Mrs. Zhao's neck was about to be crushed. She trembled and kowtowed to the eunuch's command, and looked at the eyes of the queen on the throne with some awe, and she didn't dare to sit on her ass anymore when the queen gave her a seat.
At this moment, she seemed to have a real feeling, the eldest granddaughter who was obedient to her in the Zhao family and obedient to her words is now the queen mother who is high up, and she is separated by a distance of 100,000 zhang, and she can no longer scold and scold at will. She couldn't even touch the slaves and maids standing beside her.
Mrs. Zhao's reaction was in Zhao Yanrong's calculations, seeing that she was no longer spilling and selling her old, but sitting honestly, Zhao Yanrong let go of her tense face, and said with a smile: "Maybe I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, I don't know why my grandmother is in such a hurry to enter the palace?" But do you miss this palace? โ
Old Mrs. Zhao hadn't recovered from the blow yet, and when she heard the queen's questioning, she intuitively said the truth in her heart: "No, the old body is looking for you to complain." โ
Xiao Jiangzi, who was standing behind her, showed an unbearable expression.
The queen gave you the stairs down, but you didn't continue, but chose to jump down directly......
The corners of Zhao Yanrong's eyes twitched, she didn't expect this old lady to be so cool, until people couldn't bear to look at it directly.
As soon as the words came out, the old lady Zhao realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "No, what, the old body has been thinking about the queen mother, and I can't sleep well this night." As she spoke, the old lady frowned into a weather-beaten face, and squeezed out a flattering smile from the countless fine white folds.
Zhao Yanrong smiled and said to the palace people: "You go and make a pot for the old lady to make a pot for the new Yunshan Maofeng this spring, the old lady likes this." โ
In fact, the old lady's mouth really can't taste the difference between the taste of Mao Feng, melon slices or oolong, but she loves to put on a score and pretend to be elegant, and she picks the most expensive tea to drink on weekdays. Listening to the queen's mother's tea, thinking that it must be the best precious tea in the palace, she hurriedly said to the palace maid: "Brew it thicker, this person is old, and he feels weak in any taste." โ
The palace maid smiled, squatted down and bowed, and went out.
Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at the queen's face, remembered the purpose of her entry into the palace today, and rubbed her eyes vigorously with a square handkerchief, and did not dare to cry loudly, but sobbed twice and said: "Queen Mother, when you were at home before, your grandmother loved you the most. Everything you have at home is the first thing you can pick and choose. Do you tell me in good conscience that your grandmother treats you well? โ
After her mother passed away, Mrs. Zhao took her over and raised her, not letting her daughter-in-law who married her later touch a finger. Every day, she whispers in her ear how vicious her stepmother is, how her old Zhao family digs out her heart and lungs for her, so that she doesn't lose her conscience and is close to the Pei family.
The old lady was very strict at this point, staring at her every day, and was indeed very attentive to her.
However, as for what is the best and worst, Zhao Yanrong actually understands that in the hearts of grandmother and father, only the three children born to the Duan family are the closest to and like.
But people must speak with their conscience, although the old lady doesn't like Pei's, but she is really good to her eldest granddaughter.
Zhao Yanrong nodded: "Grandmother has raised me all these years, and this palace has always remembered it." โ
When Mrs. Zhao heard her say this, she cried louder: "Your uncle who has lost his conscience is a generation lower than me, and every day he calls a slave with bared teeth to come to my house and insult me, and my old skin and old face will be shaved clean by him." Where did he cut my and your father's faces, that is, he directly slapped the queen's mother and the emperor's face! If he wants to do this again, your grandmother will only have a belt and strangle Qingjing by herself. โ
Zhao Yanrong sat quietly and listened to the old lady's complaints, and when she finished speaking, she asked, "What does grandmother want to do in this palace?" โ
The old lady came to the spirit: "Ask the mother to give Dao Mingzhi, and let the old body go to the Hou Mansion to scold." Let that kid from the Pei family never dare to come to the Zhao family to spread wild. โ
Zhao Yanrong looked embarrassed: "Grandmother, that kid from the Pei family is the uncle of the palace, you let the palace order you to scold the uncle of the palace?" How can this be done? โ
"I can't help it!" Old Mrs. Zhao rolled her old eyes, "He can let people come to the door to scold me, why can't I scold back?" I don't send people, I will scold the old woman myself, I am a generation higher than him, and I can afford to scold him. โ
Zhao Yanrong raised her eyebrows: "Grandmother, don't forget, he is the hereditary champion Hou, the son of the emperor's aunt and grandmother, and you have a three-grade seal on your body, so if you scold him like this, the emperor can treat you as an insult to the imperial family and damage the name of the clan." โ
Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a long time before she said, "That's why I want your will." โ
"Grandmother, you're bad. The champion Hou is the maternal uncle of this palace, if this palace orders you to scold him, will you become an unfilial person, how to set an example of loyalty and filial piety for the people of this dynasty? Besides, the champion Hou is an important minister of the former dynasty, and the palace can only manage the trivial matters of the harem. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the palace naturally does not make this decree. โ
Mrs. Zhao didn't understand this, listening to the queen's serious explanation, it seemed to make sense, but it seemed that something was wrong.
She muttered for a long time, and for a while she didn't know whether she should just forget it, or if she was entangled with the queen again, she had to get justice.
Zhao Yanrong looked at her, her eyes were slightly bent, and at this time, the palace maid who made tea came up with tea.
The pot of brewing for Mrs. Zhao is absolutely thick to the extreme.
The old lady was entangled in her heart, and poured the cup into her mouth, and this mouthful was bitter and astringent, and she squirted it out in one gulp.
"What kind of tea is this, you want to kill me!" The old lady was irritable in her heart, and when she raised her hand, she threw the teacup on the forehead of the palace maid, and it happened to smash on the edge of the hard pear blossom wood table, and it cracked into several pieces with a "click".
The palace maid was startled and quickly knelt down: "The slave is a capital crime." โ
The old lady was angry, and when she saw the palace maid kneeling down, she jumped up and slapped her on the head: "It's not a capital crime, you replaced the good tea in the Niangniang's palace with some old leaves, and you want to poison me!" โ
The palace maid didn't seem to listen to her, and knelt down and cried: "It's the slave maid who is not good, and she didn't catch the cup." This is the azure five-flower thin fetal bone china given by the emperor, and there is such a set in the whole palace. Now if it's broken, it's no longer a set. โ
The old lady froze there with this second slap.
Xiao Jiangzi picked up the broken porcelain pieces in the past, stomped his feet and lamented: "This is a rare treasure given to the emperor by the first emperor, and the emperor rewarded the mother." Breaking the gift of the emperor is a sin that kills the head! The emperor will definitely be angry! โ
The old lady's body shook, and her legs couldn't stand up like noodles.
"How do you take out this tea set!" Xiao Jiangzi didn't seem to look at her, and walked up to the palace maid, "I said you don't know how valuable this is?" Something went wrong, but you can afford it? โ
The palace maid cried and said, "Because it is a member of the mother's family, I specially picked this set to show respect, who knows......"
Who knew that such an expensive thing would be lost by the old lady of the mother's family?
Xiao Jiangzi turned his head and glanced at the old lady who was about to faint, her eyes were full of sympathy, she shook her head faintly, smacked her lips, and honestly stood aside and hung her head and pretended to be dead.
Zhang Dezhong came to the queen and whispered: "Niangniang, what should I do about this?" But you will be killed with a rod......"
Mrs. Zhao could clearly hear Qing'er's "cane death", and her legs could no longer support her body, and she collapsed on the ground.
"I didn't mean it, I didn't know this little thing was so expensive...... the old lady was so frightened, and she couldn't say anything, "I also see cups and bowls thrown at home, how can a cup here be a human life!" โ
Zhao Yanrong's eyebrows were tightly locked, and her face was entangled and embarrassed: "What can I do about this, the emperor is not easy to hide there." โ
The old lady finally cried: "Good granddaughter, grandmother is really unintentional, you must know that this thing is so valuable, grandmother can't throw it away at all, granddaughter help grandmother plead with the emperor, I will go back and let your father find an exact one to compensate!" โ
Xiao Jiangzi muttered in a low voice: "There is nothing unparalleled in the world, where can you find the exact same." โ
The old lady cried with snot and tears, and when she had cried enough, the palace maid had already asked someone to take her out of the hall, and the queen asked someone to help the old lady up.
The old lady's body had already weakened, and she was slumped there, and it took a long time for the two palace maids to put her on the chair.
"Who made you Hongu's own grandmother?" The queen sighed and said, "The world is only a little more than 30 years, and everywhere must recuperate." What the emperor hates most is extravagance...... It is necessary for the palace to kneel in front of him for a few hours, and he must get rid of his grandmother's sin. โ
The old lady grabbed the edge of the table, like a life-saving straw, hoping that the queen could really win the emperor's heart as recently rumored, and could open this page.
As for being scolded by the Pei family...... She is thick-skinned, and she can't get rid of her skin when she scolds.
"Would you like Grandmother to stay and dine with?" Zhao Yanrong looked back at the huge copper leak in the corner of the hall, "This palace asks the dining room to make something light and easy to eat for grandmother." โ
Mrs. Zhao was just about to agree, when she heard the female official in charge of the palace standing next to the queen say, "Niangniang forgot? The emperor will come to dine with you these days. โ
"Ah, really." Zhao Yanrong's face was abrupt, and then she looked apologetic, "Grandmother, I should have left you to eat with you, but the emperor ......"
Old Mrs. Zhao has been frightened by the queen, if there is another emperor, she will probably have to lie down and go back today. Mrs. Zhao shook her head decisively: "I'll go back now, I'll go back." โ
Before leaving, she hesitated for a moment, then turned back to Zhao Yanrong and said, "Niangniang, did your father mention to you about letting Qingrong enter the palace when he came back?" โ
Zhao Yanrong smiled: "Well, I mentioned it." โ
Old Mrs. Zhao licked her lips, swallowed her saliva, and asked cautiously, "Then look, when can you let her in as a mother?" โ
Zhao Yanrong didn't even raise her eyelids: "What's the hurry." โ
"It's not ......a hurry," Old Lady Zhao laughed dryly, "Isn't it, do you want her to enter the palace early to help you?" โ
"This palace is good in the palace, and you need someone to help you?" Zhao Yanrong sneered and looked at Old Lady Zhao, "Don't think about letting Qingrong enter the palace, let the palace give her this back seat in the future." โ
"How can this be, how can this be!" When Mrs. Zhao heard her say this, she was so frightened that she shook her hand again and again, "You are all my own granddaughters, no matter how clear you are, you don't dare to have such thoughts." She really came into the palace to help you. โ
Zhao Yanrong laughed twice and looked at her meaningfully.
"It's not that you can't let her in, but ......"
"But what?" I didn't expect the queen to agree so happily. Knowing this, she should have gone directly to the palace to find Yanrong, instead of letting the daughter-in-law who couldn't get a fart even if she hit a stick. The woman now hid in the Champion Hou's Mansion with Wanrong, and asked Pei Hou to send someone to the door to humiliate her. If it weren't for her different status, she would have asked her son to divorce this cheap woman. Old Lady Zhao thought indignantly.
"The palace is not a place where ordinary people can enter if they want to." Zhao Yanrong didn't look at the old lady's bright eyes, but just used her long nails to pluck the tea leaves brewed in the tea bowl, lowered her head and said, "Qingrong's biological mother is just an aunt and a concubine. 's father is not a noble or a family, and he entered the palace without a serious draft, and with a background like Qingrong, there is no way to give a position immediately. โ
Mrs. Zhao thought the queen's words in her head twice before she understood the meaning of the queen's words.
Zhao Qingrong can enter the palace, but it is not okay to enter the palace as a concubine.
"Why?"
Mrs. Zhao was quite puzzled by the queen's words. Her eldest granddaughter is the queen mother of the high-ranking queen, can't her sister be crowned a concubine when she enters the palace?
"There is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, and there is a difference between the noble and the low." The queen mother lightly lifted her lips, "Grandmother, this is the rule." โ
As soon as the old lady Zhao, who had won the queen's letter, returned to the Zhao family, she summoned Zhao Fengchun and the Duan family to the house to discuss overnight.
"Niangniang, this is deliberately degrading our family's appearance!" As soon as Duan heard the words that the old lady got from the palace, he jumped up, "What rules?" She is the queen's mother, if her own sister can't be a concubine when she enters the palace, what can she be? Be a palace maid who serves people? Isn't this a slap in the mouth? Master, you have to go to the palace again and make it clear to the mother. Qingrong is not an outsider, but her own sister. How can there be a sister to be the queen and let the sister be a person? Besides, our Qingrong entered the palace to help our sisters, and we didn't want to do anything to her, so if she didn't stand up, how could she make such an embarrassing decision? โ
Zhao Fengchun is not his old lady who has never seen the world, nor is he the Duan family who only has the power of the back house and only the position of the main wife in his eyes. He has been in the court for many years, and he has been wearing the arrogance of the nobles of the family for a long time, and he understands the rules of this level the most.
Zhao Qingrong is a concubine from the concubine room, this is a fact.
It will also be true that he entered the palace without a draft.
If the emperor carried the concubine in Xungui's house, of course he had nothing to say, but his family was not Xungui, and the Pei family did not record Zhao Qingrong in his name, and the difference between the concubines and concubines became a big ditch on the road to Zhao Qingrong's wealth and glory.
Zhao Qingrong can enter the palace, but when he enters the palace, he can only be a palace maid.
It's better, but it's just to be a high-ranking palace official.
To enter, or not to enter?
This is a difficult problem in front of the Zhao family now.
The Duan family was reluctant to let her daughter enter the palace to do the work of serving people, although Mrs. Zhao was reluctant, but she had other ideas.
"Yan Yatou is now the queen, except for the queen mother in the palace." Mrs. Zhao put her thumb up and compared, "This up and down, inside and out, no one can respect her, afraid of her." Let's go in, although we were just a palace maid at the beginning, but with her sister's identity, no one dares to embarrass us. Those eggless boys still dare to instruct our family to live in a clean face? When the people went in, the queen arranged for the emperor to meet, and the emperor must like it. Maybe you will be able to inherit the favor immediately, regardless of whether you are a beauty or a concubine, you will first be given a position to be the master, and in a few days, if Qingrong gives birth to a dragon son and a phoenix girl, she will be able to be a mother justifiably. โ
"Mother, having said that, but I see that the queen mother is very different from before, you say that she can really take care of her sister, so that her sister has the opportunity to be close to the emperor?" Duan remembered what happened in the palace last time, and his face was faintly painful. She has lived so big, and it is the first time that she has been slapped in the mouth, and that kind of pain and humiliation can follow her for a lifetime.
Zhao Qingrong is her only daughter, and she hurts like her life. If the queen doesn't think about sisterhood, not only does she not help but makes it difficult and persecuted, then how will she survive in the future?
"How can that!" A hint of uneasiness flashed across Old Lady Zhao's wrinkled face. She didn't dare to tell her son and daughter-in-law about breaking the royal baby teacup in Zhaoyang Palace, "Yan girl is a loving person, she is the daughter of our Zhao family, how can there be a reason not to help her own sister but to help outsiders?" "Mrs. Zhao felt that she had committed the crime of killing her head, and the queen could find a way to help her cover up and plead with the emperor, no matter what the queen did to others, she was still a head (wholeheartedly).
"It's just that the Qing girl wants to be aggrieved, so she has to let โก Duan Xianjin stay up."
Zhao Fengchun's heart turned a thousand times, he was not the old lady who had never seen a big scene, he could believe whatever others said. With his nearly 20 years of experience in officialdom, he has long been aware of the change in his daughter's attitude towards the Zhao family.
The last time he entered the palace, he was slapped hard by her, and he hasn't slowed down until now.
Every word of the queen is in accordance with the rules, and every disposition is in accordance with the rules. No one can find fault with such a daughter, but the law is nothing more than human feelings, and many rules can actually be unconstrained at some point.
As long as she wants to, she wills, and those rules that are violated are nothing.
But she didn't!
She cut the rules to death, just to slap Duan and Qingrong's faces, just to make him lose face.
Zhao Yanrong has a grudge against him, and a hatred for Duan's mother and daughter!
This is a positive conclusion that Zhao Fengchun came to after thinking about it for a long time. I don't know what Pei told her last time he entered the palace, let her share with herself like this, and she didn't even give her father's face.
Thinking of Pei's family, Zhao Fengchun was irritable.
It has been nearly ten days since she left the house with Wanrong, during which time he personally went to the Hou Mansion of the Champion several times, but was stopped by the general on the door of the Hou Mansion. Those generals are all broad-shouldered and round-waisted, all of them are veterans in the army, and when they stare at them, they exude a formidable aura that only those who have killed them.
Pei refused to come back, Pei Yi saw the sky and called someone to come to the mansion to give a lecture, and Zhao Fengchun was already about to be blown up by anger.
As for Pei Yi's short-lived ghost appearance, he may die one day. The champion Hou didn't even have an heir, and one day Pei Yi was gone, and the champion Hou's mansion was dispersed. He still has a fart backer!
Zhao Qingrong is his best bargaining chip at the moment. As long as she can enter the palace and get the holy favor, then his official status will be unshakable. Even if the Pei family falls, he, Zhao Fengchun, can still mix well in the court with his identity as the national ruler.
Do you want to give it a go? Zhao Fengchun's face was a little hideous, and his fingers were clucking.
Should you send your daughter to the palace and take this risk?
He was struggling when he heard a crisp and proud voice outside the door: "Don't discuss, I'm willing to enter the palace." โ
The door curtain was raised, and Zhao Qingrong walked in.
"My flesh." When the Duan family saw that it was their baby daughter, they hurriedly pulled it into their arms, "You have thought clearly, you can't be a mother when you enter the palace now." โ
"Afraid of what?" Zhao Qingrong laughed disdainfully, "Aunt thinks that with my appearance and intelligence, I will fall into disadvantage in the palace?" โ
Duan Shi clutched his chest and said, "But how can my aunt be willing to let you go in and suffer that way." โ
"Only when you suffer hardship can you become a master." Zhao Qingrong was full of confidence, "I don't need my sister to take care of me more, she will introduce me into the palace, just see the emperor, and leave the rest to God." If her talent can be liked by the emperor, why should I worry? Zhao Qingrong covered her lips with her sleeves and smiled, "Auntie can only serve her grandmother at home and take care of her father." I will help you earn a life and come back, so that you will not be oppressed by others every day. โ
Zhao Fengchun frowned.
"Exactly!" Mrs. Zhao was infected by her granddaughter's self-confidence, and slapped the edge of the bed suddenly, "When you are favored, you will give your aunt a seal, she will not be the inferior slave, and you can raise your eyebrows." โ
Zhao Qingrong nodded with a smile, but he had other plans in his heart.
When that day comes, I will drag my sister down! She is not as good as herself, but she has a name for herself, and she has a biological mother with the title of county lord, so she overpowers her in everything. When she gets the opportunity, she will definitely use her means to receive the emperor's heart to herself, and trample her sister down. Then let his father take a break from Pei's family and help his biological mother as the main room.
Zhao Qingrong was moved by her far-reaching plans and lofty goals, and she felt full of strength and courage, as if as long as she stretched out her hand, all the stars in the sky were under control.
Just as she was immersed in beautiful fantasies and was actively planning for the future, the queen sent someone from the palace.
"Niangniang said, the second lady entering the palace represents the dignity of the Zhao family, and it is also the dignity of the queen's mother. By the fifth day of the fifth month of May, a group of people were about to enter the palace, and the second lady entered the palace at that time. "The grandmother who came out of the Zhaoyang Hall has a natural cold arrogance, although she speaks politely, her eyes are not looking at people, and the content of her speech is kind but her attitude is alienated.
"There are rules for every step in the palace, every word and smile, the second lady is not a lady from the clan or a noble family, and the etiquette is only afraid of not being enough......"
Zhao Fengchun hurriedly interjected with a smile: "This child has been learning the rules since he was a child, don't worry." โ
The grandmother glared at him, and what he said was like air, and the grandmother didn't take it to heart at all: "The rules of the palace are so different from the rules of your daily life that you can't understand at all." There is only one month left before the Yulan Festival, although the time is too tight, but the old body is taken care of by the mother, and repeatedly told the second lady to learn the rules before entering the palace. โ
After Mama finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and four palace maids with big shoulders and round waists came out from behind her, and two other guards in soft armor came out of the ranks.
"Lord Lao Zhao has opened a separate courtyard in the inner house, and the mother has an order to ...... the second lady in the Zhao Mansion Carry out...... That ......" the old lady thought for a long time before she remembered that word, "closed training!" The door of the inner house is closed, except for the grandmothers and female officials who teach the rules in the palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave this courtyard! โ
