Chapter 64

64 [Bengong scolds you awake] The fierce queen doesn't need to explain

When Pei Jin entered the palace with Wanrong, he was accompanied by Pei Yi.

It was not so much that it was sent to the palace, but that it was escorted by Pei Yi.

Zhao Yanrong saw this former stepmother, although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

Pei Jin used to be a very plain person, and she dressed as an older woman in the past ten years, but at that time she had a good complexion, even if she was dressed in her thirties, she still looked very young. But now, she simply wore plain green clothes, covered with a small tuanhua Xuanfu dark ochre blouse on the outside, tightly tied a round bun on her head, and inserted two plain silver hairpins. Where is this thirty or forty-year-old dressed? People who have become grandmothers and great-grandmothers look brighter than her.

The originally young and beautiful face looked dull, there were fine lines at the corners of the eyes, and the bottom of the eyes was also black and blue, looking haggard.

Zhao Yanrong watched Pei Jin kneel with her, and she couldn't recognize her for a while.

"Sister Queen!" Zhao Wanru seemed to be much calmer, she was young, and her behavior was already in order, "I have always wanted to enter the palace to see you, but I have seized the opportunity." ”

Zhao Yanrong smiled reluctantly, and her eyes still fell on Pei Jin and couldn't pull it back for a while.

Li Rui nodded and said to the palace people: "Let the lady go down to freshen up first, and the family will sit down to eat together in a while." ”

Pei Jin thanked him, followed the palace people, took his sister's hand gently, waited for his mother to go out, and hurriedly leaned into the queen's ear and said: "But I'm in a hurry, my mother is like losing her soul these days, she doesn't sleep all night, and she always sheds tears, and my uncle and I can't persuade me." You don't know how happy you said you were to take us into the palace. Just point to the queen's sister, you can persuade her, otherwise she will get sick sooner or later. ”

Zhao Yanrong nodded, yes, Pei Jin is sick, and he is not lightly ill!

Pei Yi is her own brother, and Wanrong is her daughter, they are reluctant to scold, so she will scold.

Pei Jin is suffering from the Virgin Bun disease, and it is impossible to get better if he doesn't scold him hard.

Pei Yi was still very cold to the emperor, and when he talked about the government in three or two sentences, he had a solemn face, as if he had frozen ballast.

"I'm afraid the situation in the south is not as stable as we originally thought, Xuan Ce and Chen Ang sent a letter back, and it looks like someone is secretly instigating something."

The more the monarch and the minister sat there, the more they talked, the heavier it became, and Zhao Yanrong didn't know who they were talking about, and he didn't care much about the political affairs they were talking about. Anyway, her world is only in this harem, and her mind is only on her family. What's more, even if she asked, the two men were unlikely to talk to her in detail.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule set by Emperor Wude.

Even if there is no such rule, Zhao Yanrong has never been interested in politics.

She pulled Wanrong and asked them carefully about their life in the Champion Hou Mansion these days.

Not long after, Pei Jin returned to the throne, and the emperor ordered the palace people to set up the banquet.

Because it is a family banquet for the queen, there are only three people in the emperor and the Pei family at this banquet, but there are six pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table. Pei Yi glanced at the table and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, but the concubine is coming?"

"It's not."

"Then this is ......"

"Oh, hehe." The Emperor laughed twice.

Pei Yi's eyes flashed, and he stopped talking. Sure enough, after a while, I saw a person hurrying in with the corner of his clothes.

"It's late, it's late......"

If it weren't for King Rong Li Ke, who else would it be?

King Rong was waiting for this meal and was about to cry, he should have come over early, but who knew that Lu Dao was dragged by King Chengjun to ask him about the order of the sect yesterday. The old man didn't care whether King Rong was invited by the emperor or not, and he didn't care about his eagerness to catch fire in his old house, so he only dragged him to talk about the past and the present, and finally forced him to meet many conditions before he was satisfied with letting people go.

King Rong's heart flew out of the cavity and went to Zhaoyang Palace, and he couldn't remember exactly what the old county king pulled him to ask him to answer.

It's just that when I saw Pei Jin at a glance, I felt sour and bitter in my heart, the girl who smiled at him like a spring breeze and a bright moon under the tree would become such a withered description. The pair of eyes that originally looked forward to God are now like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest ripple.

He stood there, with only Pei Jin, who was almost not beautiful, in his eyes, and his heart was throbbing as if he had been clenched by something.

Pei Yi sat there, looking at the man with an expression that was about to cry, and unconsciously tightened his eyebrows.

Li Ke's thoughts about Pei Jin, he naturally knew the Tao for a long time.

On the one hand, he was angry that Li Ke let go easily, and on the other hand, he didn't want him to see Pei Jin, who was now down-and-out, so he would be so resolute to guard against King Rong and not give him a chance to see Pei Jin. But if you can't prevent it for a while, what if you don't let you see it? The queen spoke, in the end, he still had to hand people over to the palace.

It's okay, just let Li Ke see Pei Jin's current appearance with his own eyes, to see if he is sincere or fake, so as not to be angry at both ends.

Now seeing his dejected appearance, I feel that a seven-foot man can be so childlike and heroic, which is really ugly.

Pei Yi was disdainful in his heart, but he was a little happy, and he didn't do it on this face, just sneered, turned his head over, and refused to look at him again. When Pei Jin saw King Rong coming in, he obviously wanted to eat at the same table. She is now divorced, she is an orphan woman, and it is okay to sit at the same table with her son-in-law and younger brother, King Rong is just a cousin, and it is obviously a little inappropriate to sit at the same table again. was about to avoid it, but saw Wanrong slip off the chair with a cheer, threw herself into King Rong's arms and said, "Uncle Cousin, why are you here now?" ”

Zhao Wanrong is good-looking, the seven-year-old girl is very tall, and she is almost under King Rong's chest, and King Rong picked her up, like holding a little doll, and finally showed a smile on her somewhat sad face.

"So Wanrong, did you miss me?"

"Yes! I miss you! Wanrong nodded solemnly, blushed and pushed him again, "I'm older, my uncle let me down, and I can walk by myself." ”

Rong Wang Ha Lu smiled, put Wanrong down carefully, and saw that she was wearing beaded flower earrings with two beads on her ears, and the beads the size of rice grains surrounded the beads the size of her little thumb belly and the perfect luster, looking at the pair of pearls that seemed to be given to her, and her heart was even more happy.

"Uncle Cousin has been busy lately, so I don't have time to see you. I haven't seen her these days, and Xiao Wanrong seems to have grown a little taller. ”

When Zhao Wanrong heard him say this, she unconsciously raised her small chest, with a flush of excitement on her face, and pulled him to the table.

"Great, I forgot about me as my cousin and didn't want to come to see me...... It's gone. As he spoke, he secretly looked at Pei Jin's face, but said as if nothing had happened, "You sit next to me, and I'll give you cloth vegetables in a while!" ”

Zhao Yanrong quietly gave a thumbs up under the table.

This little sister is really powerful. This matchmaker made natural carving, very natural and traceless, and easily pulled King Rong to sit next to his mother.

Pei Jin hurriedly got up and saluted King Rong, and whispered to the queen that men and women should not sit at the same table, and wanted to set up another table and take Wanrong to the side to eat.

Zhao Yanrong grabbed it and said, "Look at your hard work, how many people at this table still have to be divided?" Besides, which of you here is not your own relative, we don't need to say it, Uncle Wang also grew up with you and your uncle since childhood. Don't you also look at Wanrong's uncle, how close is it? It can be seen that a family is a family, and the relatives in the blood are still doing like that? ”

What else did Pei Jin have to say, Zhao Yanrong hurriedly glanced at Li Rui, and the emperor immediately said, "Exactly." Uncle Wang is my uncle and the queen's cousin, and King Xianrong is the younger brother of the eldest princess of Pingyang. There are not many clans close to me now. If it's a family, why bother? ”

The emperor spoke like this, and Pei Shi couldn't insist anymore, so he had to sit with his head down.

A meal is eaten with each other's thoughts, and no matter how delicious it is, you can't tell the taste in your mouth.

However, Zhao Wanrong was at a young age, and she pretended to be stupid during the banquet, and teased Pei Jin and King Rong to talk. went to give King Rong vegetables with his own hands, which made Li Ke simply flattered.

Pei Jin was just raised by his parents with a weak temperament, but he was not a fool. didn't look at the emperor and queen, just looked at the little daughter's behavior, she already understood a little in her heart.

King Rong turned his gaze to her from time to time, and the affection in his eyes made her sit still, and she only felt that the figure was roasted on a steamer, and she couldn't even breathe.

finally stayed up until the meal was over, and the emperor pulled Pei Yi to talk about the situation in the south, so he asked King Rong to accompany him to the meeting. King Rong stood up with a smile.

"I was pulled by the king of Chenglao County a few days ago, and I said a lot about the clan camp, and it just so happened that the minister also had some ideas, if the emperor was free, it would be better to listen to the minister."

turned out to be the opportunity that Li Rui offered him and wanted to leave first.

Pei Yi's eyes were cold, and he snorted and said, "I'm impatient to sit with you?" You haven't become a sect commander yet, so what's there to talk about? Even if we want to talk about it, it's not now. ”

King Rong didn't know what Pei Yi was annoyed about. It was he Pei Yi who was not allowed to see Pei Jin, and now he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to get along with Pei Jin, and Pei Yi wanted to make him angry again. This cousin was originally a hard to guess, but now as he gets older, it is becoming more and more elusive.

Zhao Yanrong looked at Pei Yi's slightly angry look, and then looked at Pei Jin's face like a living dead, but she understood a little in her heart.

I'm afraid that Pei Yi will mistake King Rong's intentions, thinking that he dislikes Pei Jin's beauty anymore, and he has diluted the pursuit of it, so he is annoyed with him.

So he stood up to relieve the siege, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang is also kind." My aunt just entered the palace today, and there are still a lot of things to tidy up and place, and Wanrong will take a nap after noon, if Uncle Wang stays, it is not that he will accompany us, but that my aunt will sit with Uncle Wang. What's more, we are all women here, if you let Uncle Wang sit alone with a man, even if he can be comfortable, we can't be at ease. ”

Li Rui was stunned, and hurriedly said to King Rong: "Uncle Wang and I will go to the Demao Hall together." ”

Pei Yi's face was still ugly, but he finally wouldn't look at Li Ke angrily.

Li Rui went first, and Pei Yi and Li Ke followed left and right.

After sending the three of them away, Zhao Yanrong didn't say much, and directly took Pei Jin and Wanrong to the apse. There is a small courtyard not far from the main hall of Zhaoyang, which is the residence prepared by the queen for Pei's mother and daughter.

"This plaque is freshly painted." The queen stood in front of the courtyard gate and pointed to the vermilion lacquer plaque hanging above it for Pei Jin and Zhao Wanrong to see, "It's the emperor's imperial pen invited by the palace, aunt take a look at how it is written?" ”

Li Rui's words are vigorous and powerful, and there is a momentum like Yue Ruyuan, and the plaque is an ebony background, and three big characters "Chunhui Hall" are engraved with vermilion lacquer dragon flying phoenix dance.

The spring sunshine warms people's hearts.

The queen praised her motherly love and remembrance of her dedication to herself and grace through Chunhui. Pei Jin was willing to marry into the Zhao family, because she couldn't give up the only daughter left by her eldest sister, and after eight years in the Zhao family, she regarded Yanrong as her own, and she couldn't wait to give her the best. Although there is a spicy mother-in-law and a tricky aunt who always embarrass her and provoke the feelings between their mother and daughter, Zhao Fengchun has always snubbed her, but she has never regretted it. Seeing Zhao Yanrong grow up, get married, and gradually gain a firm foothold in the palace, she felt that she had an explanation for her deceased eldest sister.

For many years, the two sisters Yanrong and Wanrong have supported her breath.

In the past, Yanrong was cold and even faintly hostile to her, and her aunt, who let her in-laws, refuse to get close, so she had to mix with Mrs. Zhao and Duan. However, when she was in the Zhao Mansion, her mother-in-law and Duan's family were still a little afraid of Yanrong's straightforward nature, even if it was difficult for her, they would carry more tricks behind her back. As soon as Yanrong entered the palace, the old lady and the Duan family became more and more arrogant, and the Duan family even drove her directly to the side courtyard and became the actual housewife herself.

Wanrong often asks her why she has to endure, yes, why does she have to endure?

But for the sake of a virtuous reputation.

She doesn't want to bring the queen's reputation because of the unbearable trouble at home, there are undercurrents everywhere in the palace, and Yanrong, as the queen, is most on the cusp. She didn't want her to be embarrassed, she didn't want to be talked about behind her back. She endured, let go, and retreated, until the queen was placed under house arrest in the Zhaoyang Palace, and the family lost their minds.

Zhao Fengchun wanted Zhao Qingrong to enter the palace, she understood that it was not a fixed favor, but a shared favor. Zhao Fengchun has never had their Pei family sisters in his heart, and he may not only pretend to be the cousin Duan who grew up with him. He only has wealth and glory in his heart, power and interests. He can grovel and flatter in front of others, and after others, he will be unwilling to complain about his family members. Talking about true love in his mouth, he can beat someone for a prostitute in a green mansion when he turns around.

has been with him for eight years, and Pei's understanding of him has not been as much as he has in just a few months.

Enough, she was disheartened and cold, she found that her forbearance and concession did not make the queen live a stable life, but instead allowed the Zhao family to gain an inch, get Longwangshu, and bring more trouble to the queen.

So when Pei Yi told her that she wanted her to reconcile with the Zhao family, she chose to acquiesce.

Completely severing relations with the Zhao family, whether it is for her or Wanrong, or even for the queen, it may not be a good thing.

It's just that she really saw Zhao Fengchun's handwritten confession and wife's release letter, and she still felt sad.

Not for that man, but for the most beautiful years of her past.

It's like everything she worked hard before, everything she endured and fought for her life was just a joke.

Her efforts are nothing but water. Putting aside the honor and dignity of the concubine of the Hou Mansion, she worked hard to curry favor and back down, and took out the dowry given to her by her parents to buy it, no matter what she did, she could not get the love of her husband and mother-in-law. She is now only twenty-five years old, but her heart is like a fifty-two-year-old woman.

What else does it mean for her to live?

What she worked so hard to get back was just a heartless husband, a mother-in-law who could insult her parents and ancestors, a concubine who never took her seriously, and a concubine who bullied her daughter and replaced her with a concubine.

In the Champion Hou Mansion, she opened her eyes and closed her eyes every day, and her mind never stopped.

I only feel that my life is extremely failed, I doubt the value of my existence, and mourn my lost youth and happiness.

Until I saw these three words.

Pei Jin cried silently with the three words "Chunhui Hall".

She just hid in the corner and felt sorry for herself, forgetting that she was still a mother.

Her life has failed, but she still has Wanrong, Yanrong, and her younger brother, she is not alone.

Zhao Yanrong dismissed all the palace people, and stood quietly aside with a nervous Wanrong, watching Pei Jin cry under the plaque.

After being suppressed for so many years, it's time to cry.

Pei Jin wiped her tears, feeling that her suffocated chest was a lot brighter, she turned around and bowed to Zhao Yanrong: "Thank you for your thoughtful arrangement." ”

"Here, I'm not a mother, I'm just your daughter." Zhao Yanrong helped her up with one hand, "If my aunt doesn't cry, let's go talk first." ”

Pei Jin felt embarrassed, wiped his face, took a deep breath, took his daughter from the queen's hands, and pulled Wanrong to walk in with her.

It was still the three of them, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were selected to serve were all blocked by the queen.

"Wanrong, go and close the door, and the three of us will have a good conversation."

"Hey!" Zhao Wanrong is now quite convinced of this queen sister, and after listening to her words, she immediately broke away from her mother's hand and ran over to close the door.

Looking at Pei Jin's red and swollen eyes after crying, Zhao Yanrong frowned and made a straight face.

"You are my aunt, my mother's sister, and the daughter of the eldest princess of Pingyang, the flesh and blood of General Pei Du. Pei Jin, how can you be so useless? ”

She shouted so loudly that Zhao Wanrong was startled.

"Sister, why do you talk like that to your mother?"

Pei Jin was also yelled at by her. She has lived in the championship for these days, and she really hasn't been yelled at for a long time.

"Niangniang......" She was about to kneel subconsciously, but was stopped by Zhao Yanrong waving her hand.

"Out of this door, I am the queen, you are the sister of the champion Hou, my aunt. But in this house, there is no one else now, I am the daughter of the Pei family. Saying that, she paused, glanced at Pei Jin deeply, sighed and said, "To be honest, I really feel worthless for my grandmother and grandfather." ”

Hearing the queen mention her parents, Pei Jin couldn't help but straighten her back. Princess Pingyang and Pei Du are not only her parents, but also heroes in the hearts of the people of Daqi, and they are mythical existences. In the past, when she was in Zhao's house, Mrs. Zhao once scolded and pouted, and brought Pei's parents, Pei's time was crazy and wanted to fight with her mother-in-law, and the quail suddenly turned into a fighting, which scared the old lady enough. After that incident, the Zhao family's bottom line for the Pei family was clear, and the old lady never scolded her ancestors in person.

But the queen counted it honestly and unceremoniously.

"My grandmother and grandfather were heroes, and the biggest failure was not on the battlefield, but in the children." Zhao Yanrong pointed at Pei Jin and said, "Uncle won't talk about it, he won't marry a wife at such an age, thinking about letting the Pei family cut off children and grandchildren." Two daughters, one is my mother and the other is you, look at what they have been taught to look like? ”

"It's just two pieces of mud that can't support the wall, how can there be any majesty of the champion Hou on it?"

Pei Jin looked at the queen in a daze, and was scolded by her.

"My mother is gone, the lights are out, and it's useless to say that she is now, she is a failure. Even if her grandfather and grandmother were blind and mismatched her, she should speak out, fight if she can, and try to clean up her husband's house if she can't. Instead of hiding, tucking, enduring and letting until you boil yourself to death, and then drag your own sister into the mud pit. Zhao Yanrong took a breath and frowned at her, "What about you?" She's like that, what do you learn from her? Is it difficult to go back to your parents' house and say something after being wronged? Could it be that your parents raised you so much just to send you to someone else's house to be spoiled? ”

"It's not ......" Pei Jin wanted to defend himself a few words, but the words were choked in his throat, and his mind was blank.

"You are the daughter of the eldest princess, and you have a second-grade edict on your body, which of the Zhao family dares to be disrespectful to you, you will slap it over, and if one slap is not enough, you will slap it again. Zhao Fengchun: What is that? Can you be scared of him like that? Are you afraid that he will divorce you or are you afraid that he will change his mind? His heart is not in you in the first place, how can you talk about changing your heart? Stop? If he dared to divorce you, he wouldn't have been so desperate to marry you. Close the door, even if you ride on his head, he has to endure the black veil on his head. The result? The man who was supposed to be riding on a man was ridden under him alive. ”

"Why would grandparents pick such a low-born Bai Ding as Zhao Fengchun? It's just that he has a bit of literary talent, he looks good, and his career should be worry-free in the future. It's just that he doesn't have a high background, he won't dare to bully you in the future, and he won't dare to have an outside heart, so you can live a good life. The result? The kindness of your parents has been ruined by you two big buns! Zhao Yanrong scolded angrily, "What do you mean by unfilial piety?" My daughter was bullied and didn't dare to go home to complain to her father and mother for support, this is the biggest unfilial piety! If your grandparents know about it, you can be angry with the two of you. ”

"Compare your heart to your heart, if one day in the future gracefully follow your old path, how will you feel in your heart?" Seeing Pei Shi being scolded by himself and hiding his face and crying, Zhao Yanrong poured a cup of tea and moistened his throat, feeling that the scolding was very enjoyable, so he continued, "Do you also want to become a dying ghost in your twenties in the future?" You go and look in the mirror and see how you look half-dead. If you really have no backbone and no courage to go on, you will go down early to find your father and mother, and cry in front of them, don't stay here and let our sisters watch and block their hearts, and suffer this living sin with you. ”

"Sister......" Zhao Wanrong was completely dumbfounded. Where is the queen mother persuading her mother to look away, she is clearly forcing her to die.

"Shut up, little kids, just listen. I am not only saying this to my aunt, but also to you. Zhao Yanrong glared at her.

"Who said a woman can't live without a man? A useless scumbag can also make you disheartened and grind yourself, is it worth it? My grandmother was pregnant for ten months, and she worked hard to give birth to you and raise you with hard work, hoping that you would live a happy and healthy life, not let yourself toss yourself like this. If you want to remarry, a good man will follow you, with grace, and then find a good one, and live happily, not only Wanrong is happy, I am happy, and my deceased grandparents will also be happy. ”

Pei Jin was so frightened that he shook his hand again and again: "How can this be, I'm so old, how can I move that lustful heart again?" ”

"Phew, what's wrong with remarrying, you're only twenty-five years old, just the same age as flowers, why can't you look for it again? The Zhao family has nothing to do with you, the king is not married, the concubine is not married, find a suitable life and live together, and it is not in vain to come to the world to live a prosperous life. Auntie, don't die of heart, you are so young, this palace will definitely not allow you to die of heart now! ”

"Yes, mother, why do you want to die for it? Wanrong has a father and no father, and she has never been loved well. Zhao Wanrong is also clever, seeing that Pei's sister was moved, she immediately cried and pounced, pulling her sleeves and shaking, "You can find me another father, you can love me and love me, and I will not be said to be a fatherless child in the future." ”

Pei Jin cried and hugged his daughter, choked up: "It's just that a good woman doesn't care about her second husband, I'm divorced now, and I'm afraid that remarrying will tarnish the name of the Pei family." ”

"Pick a valuable person, I will ask the emperor to give you a marriage, and see who dares to say half a word!" The queen slapped the table with her eyebrows and said proudly, "That's it." Auntie, you take your sister to live well, let's pick and see which one is suitable for Wanrong to be her father. ”

"How can this be!"

The queen didn't give Pei a chance to oppose at all, and ran away with the soles of her feet.

Pei Shi stood in the hall with Wanrong in his arms, his mind mixed into a mess. The queen in front was still scolding her for being confused and incompetent, saying that she was not filial, why did she scold and scold and become a husband who wanted to help her find a remarriage?

Pei Jin only felt a headache, and after a while, the palace people who were waiting in Chunhui Hall rushed in, so he had to take half a step back and pull Wanrong to take a nap.

Zhao Yanrong put Bai Lu in Chunhui Hall and told her to keep an eye on Pei's actions every day. Bai Lu and Danfeng's families are now in the Champion Hou Mansion, and Pei Jin can be regarded as half the master of the Hou Mansion, without Zhao Yanrong's advice, Bai Lu will also serve carefully with twelve points.

"Today, first do this, wake her up, and then brainwash her little by little, so that she can throw away those useless virtuous concepts." Zhao Yanrong fanned the wind with a handkerchief and said to Mulan beside her: "Some people, that's it." Owed scolding! ”

Mulan was silent.

Although the queen drove everyone outside, as the head of the Zhaoyang Palace, she didn't dare to stay too far away from the queen. The queen is so angry, even if she doesn't want to listen, she can't hide.

No wonder the queen can even hold the queen mother, just look at her scolding her aunt today, she is really as natural and comfortable as her father and mother training her daughter!

Don't mention how Pei's will have an aftertaste here. Pei Yi had something on his mind, and after talking to Li Rui about the situation in the south, he kicked King Rong Li Ke in to accompany the king.

Debao led him out of the Demao Palace, where he often came and went, and was a frequent visitor, so he took his leave and left on his own.

From afar, he watched as a familiar figure approached this way.

Seeing that it was Pei Yi, the man walked a few steps and saluted uprightly: "The slave has seen Pei Hou." ”

Pei Yi looked at him and laughed: "I just looked like you, but it turned out to be really you." Speaking of which, we may not have seen each other for a long time. Qin Xiao, are you doing well in the palace? ”

The author has something to say: Ahem, students who have seen Rebirth Ruyi will definitely find that the name of the courtyard prepared by the queen here for the Pei family is the same as the name of the residence of Princess Rong~~~ Hey, hey, hey, let's not say anything~~~~

Come on, King Rong, the emperor and the empress helped you get here, if you still can't take it, you'll grow such a handsome beard!!
