Chapter 150: Battle

Sun Guifei is also a figure who sits on words and deeds, the full moon of the eldest son of the emperor has just passed, and early the next morning, she went to visit the queen mother in Qingning Palace uninvited.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother had just finished freshening up and was having breakfast in the house. "Why is she here?"

Aunt Qiao was also very thoughtful, and she didn't know what kind of trick Sun Guifei was doing, "I just said that I was asking for the old man, and I looked very plain in my dress." ”

Generally speaking, it is very rare in this world to have a daughter-in-law knocking on the door, although there is a big contradiction between the two sides, but the mother-in-law is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not to mention that the concubine is still a concubine, she is the queen, and she can't come to find the queen mother's field. So Sun Guifei will come to visit the Queen Mother, it is definitely not a weasel to give New Year's greetings to chickens, most of them are here to seek peace.

Can you ask for and, don't you come early? But is it now that the bones are coming up? The Queen Mother couldn't believe Aunt Qiao's return, she thought for a moment, "You let her wait for a while." ”

"Yes." Aunt Qiao also understood the Queen Mother's intentions and withdrew by herself. When the Queen Mother finished her breakfast slowly, changed her clothes, and walked in the small garden for a while, she walked back to the house, and Aunt Qiao stepped forward and replied, "The concubine has been waiting in the house, looking pleasant, and it seems that she is not in a hurry to get angry." ”

It seems that he really wants to see himself. The Queen Mother was silent, and after a while, she looked at Aunt Qiao, as if she was asking for her opinion.

Aunt Meng was sent out because of the weishenme incident, and Aunt Qiao's heart was the same as that of Spiegel. Although she also watched Sun Guifei grow up, she is now avoiding her like a snake and scorpion, and she doesn't dare to have anything to do with Sun Guifei at all, let alone say anything that is inclined to Sun Guifei. Seeing that the Queen Mother asked, she hurriedly said, "If the old lady wants to test the patience of the concubine, she might as well let her wait a few more days." ”

Just kidding, the Queen Mother is what you say you can see? With such a big beam, you can come in in half a day? It's almost the same to wait for ten days and half a month, not to mention the Queen Mother, it's just an ordinary Zaifu, and it's not casual, you can see it when you see it.

However, that's also for insignificant characters. For the big guys, not seeing each other is a humiliation after all. Although the Queen Mother was also a little moved, she gave up the idea after playing with it. "That's it, an old woman, where did she come from such a big shelf, she wants to see me, then let her in."

With an order, how dare everyone delay, Sun Guifei quickly entered the house, and gave the queen mother three kneels and nine bows in a regular manner, "The concubine sees the old lady." ”

The Queen Mother snorted, her attitude was not very good, and she didn't call out, after Sun Guifei finished saluting, she knelt on the ground very regularly, hanging her head respectfully, and she couldn't find much to find fault with her posture.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the concubine." Both sides were silent for a while, and the Queen Mother casually found the beginning of the conversation, and said idly, "Counting from the beginning and the end, it has been more than half a year." ”

It's been more than half a year, or even nearly a year. More than half a year ago, the relationship between the queen mother and the concubine can't be said too much, after all, at that time, the queen made a new rule, and there was no summoning, and the concubines could not enter the Qingning Palace to serve, and in order to suppress Sun Guifei's momentum, the queen mother mostly called Concubine Xu Zhuang to accompany her, but she was alienated and neglected Sun Guifei, who grew up. It is even said that even the matter of Sun Guifei holding the son of the palace was asked by the emperor for the permission of the queen mother, and Sun Guifei herself did not come forward.

"I haven't been able to serve your old side for a long time, because the concubine is lazy and unfilial." Sun Guifei's attitude has always been very good and cooperative, "Since the beginning of this year, there have been constant turmoil in the palace, and the concubines can't serve the old lady and share your worries, which is really unfilial." ”

This is said to be as elegant and beautiful as singing, but the Queen Mother did not accompany Sun Guifei to sing Yaxing, although she has a very cultured mother-in-law, and she also has quite an opinion on political affairs and court affairs, but she is not a person with rich literary talents.

"That's what you're here to talk about?" The Queen Mother simply interrupted Sun Guifei's kind words and asked a little mockingly.

It's not that these words can't be said, but at least two people who have a good relationship or are about to be good will be so neat in order to show their attitude, Sun Guifei directly skipped this step, and began to pretend to be a virtuous daughter-in-law, and it depends on whether the queen mother can cooperate.

"This ......" Sun Guifei glanced left and right, obviously a little hesitant, but seeing that the queen mother was silent, she gritted her teeth and continued, "The concubine also came to explain the misunderstanding to the mother, the daughter-in-law is shallow, there are some things, I didn't think deeply at the time, and I failed to avoid suspicion, and now I am reminded by the eldest brother that I know that my thinking is shallow, which will inevitably provoke the misunderstanding of the old lady." ”

Compared with Sun Guifei's attitude in front of the Queen Mother in the past, today, she can be said to be extra cautious, and now she uses the honorific title of 'Old Lady', which shows that she has realized how deep the Queen Mother's displeasure can be.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother remained silent and took a sip of tea carelessly, as if she didn't pay special attention to Sun Yunu. "What do you mean by that?"

Sun Yunu looked around again, and seeing that the Queen Mother was unmoved, she seemed to sigh deeply helplessly, and said, "The concubine also asked the old lady to see that when the Luo family is pregnant, no one can think of whether the child in her belly is male or female." Please ask the prospective eldest brother to bring up the Luo family's bloodline under the knees of the concubines, and on the other hand, it is also ...... The old lady knew that it was difficult for the concubine to get pregnant, and on the other hand, Luo was worried that she was a princess, and her biological mother was low, so she was afraid that her daughter would not be able to raise her head next to her sisters. It was really wishful thinking, and there was no hint of compulsion - more and more explicit words, when the queen slipped the fetus, Concubine Zhuang gave birth to a daughter, and the heirs in the palace were transported to a low point. The concubines also did not know the art of calculation...... How do you know if Roche's baby is male or female? ”

She glanced up at the Queen Mother, and continued, "Please think about it, with the eldest brother as a human being, if it weren't for Luo's repeated statement, how could he agree to this?" It's just that although this matter is consensual, it is not glorious, and the concubines don't want to make a big deal of it, and if they plead with you in person, they are afraid that the sisters in the future will follow suit. The concubine can be the life of Paul's family, but he does not dare to guarantee that his later sisters will think so. Now, this matter has reached such a point, it is really not the concubine's original intention, I heard that Sister Xu was also beaten into the south by the eldest brother because of this, and the concubine's body and mind are really uncomfortable. So he hurriedly came to ask the old lady for his guilt...... If you don't believe in the concubine, you can call Luo to confront you on the spot, and the concubine can guarantee with her life, and there will be no lie in this matter. ”

The Queen Mother's expression did not change in the slightest, although she twitched the corners of her lips slightly, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes.

"Really?" The old man said almost indifferently.

"As for the abolition of the queen...... Sun Guifei sighed, "The concubine body is really indistinguishable, originally, according to the arrangement of the concubine body, the movement of this child landing will not be too big, just deal with the past, it's just that." If it's a daughter, it doesn't go without saying, naturally everything is business as usual. If it is a boy, although outsiders think that it is from the concubine, but the concubine and the eldest brother, Luo's family, and even the grandmothers who serve around him, aren't they still clear? If it is said that the concubine body wants to imitate the story of the sect, the eldest brother is afraid that he will not allow it, even if the concubine body is blinded by lard and gives birth to thoughts that should not be there, as soon as your old man comes forward, what else is there for the concubine to distinguish for himself? Naturally, you can understand it. When Liu E did this, the back position in the palace was already empty...... How can there be a reason to abolish the queen for the sake of a child who was carried. The concubine was also raised by your teachings, how dare she have such an idea? ”

This is not unreasonable, the Queen Mother's expression moved slightly. - It's just that Sun Guifei didn't look at it, she still humbly hung down at the ground in front of her, and continued to distinguish for herself.

"Originally, this was how the matter developed. Unexpectedly, after Concubine Zhuang learned of this, she did misunderstand the intention of the concubine, and told the queen mother again...... I don't know what the queen mother heard from her, but she felt that the concubine's move was for the queen's position. Concubine Sun Guifei paused for a long time, and shook her head bitterly, "Alas, after all, it is embarrassing identity, and the concubine is not good at defending herself." Unexpectedly, after the child landed, I heard that it was a boy, and the queen wanted to raise it...... This matter somehow reached the ears of the eldest brother, and you also know that the relationship between the eldest brother and the queen mother was already very cold...... Coupled with the fact that Grandma Sun sent by Concubine Zhuang thought that she had held the evidence of Luo's family, the situation became chaotic. The concubine has been taking care of the pregnant woman for the past year, and she is already exhausted - there is no way to leave an accident, let alone how Concubine Zhuang and the queen mother told you about this. thought that it was business as usual, although this child was counted in the name of the concubine, so that the concubine had a support for the back half of her body, but the status of the concubine would not change at all. ”

"Therefore, when you sent someone to pick up the child, the concubine really thought that it was freezing and the child was inconvenient to brave the wind, so she dared to refuse. At that time, I thought, no matter how I say it, I have a relationship with you, and you must be able to understand the intention of the concubine......" Sun Guifei said, and she burst into tears. "Who knows, at that time, the eldest brother made the decision to abolish it and then set it up. He was afraid that I would be humble and stop him, and he didn't discuss it with me, so he went directly to Kunning Palace to find the queen's mother. At this time, I was in Changning Palace, but I didn't know anything. Immediately after that, Sister Xu had an accident, the eldest brother didn't enter the harem, the concubines were confused, they didn't know anything, and they didn't dare to act rashly, until the eldest brother entered the Changning Palace yesterday, and then he didn't know the ins and outs. I'll explain it to you right away, but ......."

She wiped away the tears in her eyes a little stubbornly, "Who knows the concubine, she can't wash it away if she jumps into the Yellow River." However, others misunderstand me, it's okay, old lady, you watched me grow up, and I can't get over this hurdle in my heart......"

As he spoke, he fell to the ground and whimpered softly, and the emotional place was quite a bit of 'I see pity'.

The Queen Mother lowered her head, looked at the back of Sun Guifei's head for a while, and finally said slowly. "You're here today to say that?"

Sun Guifei kowtowed to the Queen Mother again, "The concubine knows that she can't understand herself, but she ...... It's just that I don't make it clear, the concubine is really wronged in her body and mind. ”

"Even if you didn't mean to, it's like that now." The Queen Mother said slowly, "In your opinion, how should today's situation be resolved?" ”

"Since the matter has come to this, the child should be recorded in Roche's name." Sun Guifei said without hesitation, "Although I have been persuaded hard to abolish the post-repression, my eldest brother is not willing to change his mind...... However, the concubine repeatedly talked with the eldest brother, and finally said that he would not set up a concubine as a successor. As for whether to choose someone else, this big brother hasn't made a decision yet......"

Sun Guifei's concession cannot be said to be insignificantβ€”or according to her, it is not a concession, but only to prove her innocence, and her sacrifice cannot be said to be insignificant. According to the original Jihua to her son is now flying, the back position is gone, except for the decision to abolish the queen can not be changed, other things are almost back to the original point, no matter what Sun Guifei's true intentions are, this gesture does seem to be benevolent and impeccable.

A smile slowly appeared on the Queen Mother's lips, and she nodded lightly to the left and right.

"Help her up." She said that although she hadn't given Sun Guifei a smile yet, her tone had been much softer. "Some things are easier to say...... I don't look at what you say, I just look at how you do it. ”

Sun Guifei said in a low voice, "I will not disappoint my mother!" ”

"Then I won't keep you any longer." The Queen Mother patted the concubine on the shoulder. "Go ahead!"

Willing to pat this shoulder, it proves the change in the attitude of the Queen Mother, Sun Guifei wants to salute the Queen Mother again, but her feet are numb, and her posture is inevitably ridiculous, and the Queen Mother was teased by her and laughed. "Why do you have to act like this-I won't keep you here, go back and take care of the emperor's eldest son."

Although the Queen Mother's attitude has changed, there is still no trace of relaxation on Sun Guifei's face, she still bowed cautiously before slowly withdrawing from Qingning Palace.

Today, the Queen Mother is seeing Concubine Sun Guifei outside, this is not the place where she usually lives, and after meeting guests, she naturally has to go back to the back room where she lives. - Almost as soon as she returned to the house, she closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Today's meeting is indeed of great significance. Aunt Qiao never expected that this matter would be like this, even if she was just a spectator, she couldn't help but feel emotional, and when the Queen Mother opened her eyes, she didn't react a little.

"Hey." The old man also seemed to be in a mood, looking at the ceiling, and only smiled slightly after a while, "It's worthy of the girl I raised, it's just not ordinary." ”

This...... Aunt Qiao pondered what the Queen Mother meant, so she answered, "The noble concubine is indeed virtuous and virtuous, and she knows the general ......."

The Queen Mother was amused by her wordsβ€”as soon as she smiled, Aunt Qiao immediately shut up.

Even people who are not familiar with the Queen Mother should be able to hear how much real laughter there is in the Queen Mother's 'laughter'.

"Actually, you can't be wrong." The Queen Mother said slowly, "She really knows the general situation very well, and her heart is also very clear." When you came to Qingning Palace today, you should have said it to me? ”

'Did you come today to say this?' Aunt Qiao's words immediately flashed in her mind, and she was stunned.

The old man asked Sun Guifei twice, the first time to urge the topic, and the second time the tone was ...... In retrospect, when I think about it carefully, there seems to be a slight disappointment.

"You mean, the concubine is a clever womanβ€”" She cautiously tested the Queen Mother's thoughts.

"Didn't I say it all...... Look at a person's mind, you don't look at what she says, what you have to see is how she does. The Queen Mother took a sip of tea slowly. Do you think you can fool me with these words? ”

If you look at Sun Guifei's appearance, the explanation just now is indeed very far-fetched, before she did make a concession, Aunt Qiao didn't believe it much, and she was also shocked by Sun Guifei's statement, so she believed in Sun Guifei's sincerity.

"But ......" Aunt Qiao still didn't understand - her brain was indeed not as flexible as Aunt Meng.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, and she hated that iron could not become steel, but she quickly calmed down her mentality: a person is too smart, smart like Aunt Meng, then it can't be used.

"I really want to apologize to daoqian, to admit my mistakes, such an unsightly thing, don't you beg me to send people away?" She nodded to Aunt Meng, "A person with such a good face as she would be happy to see a palace maid pouring water, and she knows all about her ugly things?" ”

These words were not meant for the Queen Mother.

Aunt Qiao immediately understood: In Qingning Palace, it is no longer completely safe, and the Queen Mother sent an Aunt Meng, but she is not sure that anyone will secretly fall to Concubine Sun Guifei for the sake of the emperor's eldest son and holy family. These words were originally meant to be said to the emperor.

"Could it be that ......" She is not an impenetrable stone, but she is not as talented as Aunt Meng." The flawed statement is for ...... Irritating you? ”

"Huh." The Queen Mother smiled, she didn't answer Aunt Qiao's words, but praised Concubine Sun again, "It's worthy of the girl I raised, and she has always been very clear about what should be caught in this dispute in the backyard." ”

"This ......" Aunt Qiao was speechless, she couldn't even accept that such a thing could really happen. Daughter-in-law calculates mother-in-law - is there really such a thing in the world? ”

"The tip of the gun has been handed to the tip of the nose, can it still be fake?" The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "I understand her, she also understands me, as early as when she decided to steal the son of man, I am afraid that I will never be fooled by her...... Her words are enough to fool men, but it is difficult to fool even a sweeping palace maid in the harem. Xiao Qiao, you're all at this age, you still don't understand? Only women understand women's tricks...... There are only women, and they are the most ruthless when dealing with women. ”

This is going to separate the relationship between mother and son, and Sun Guifei's move cannot be said to be indecisive and ruthless. Aunt Qiao thought about it, and couldn't even find any good way to fight back: it was clear that the emperor was now being fooled by Sun Guifei.

Thinking about it a little deeper, "It's also the points that the concubine said...... In fact, it's not the same as not saying, even if it is abolished, in the palace, Concubine Zhuang is down, Concubine Hui is not favored, and it is not her concubine's world. It's not a queen, what's the difference between it and a queen? ”

In this backyard, it's not a man who speaks, but if he holds the emperor, he is basically invincible. The queen just didn't realize this, so she ended up where she is now. And Concubine Zhuang used to rise because of this, but now......

The Queen Mother ignored Aunt Qiao, who was worried, she pondered for a while, and then instructed Aunt Qiao, "I remember that the eunuch who was guarding in Yong'an Palace at that time, and even now dealing with Concubine Zhuang's matter, is one person, and his name is ...... Is it called Ma Ten? ”

Aunt Qiao is the one who dealt with this kind of thing for the Queen Mother, and when she heard the question, she immediately replied, "Back to the mother's words, exactly." ”

After a pause, he added, "are very popular in the hearts of the people below, just this Ma Shi, and even some of the big eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace, according to the old slave's feelings, are a little sympathetic to in private." ”

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "When he is on duty, you go and stop him and bring him to me, I have something to ask." ”

The Queen Mother has something to ask, what else can Ma Shi do? At dusk that night, he stepped into the Qingning Palace in the twilight, and raised his voice, "Say hello to the old lady." ”

"Ma Shi, I'll tell you the truth." The Queen Mother got straight to the point, "Whether your Aunt Xu can come out of Nannei or not depends on today's question, no matter how you answer this question, I won't blame you - do you know what I mean?" ”

Ma Shi's expression tightened, and he immediately kowtowed to the Queen Mother, "Slave maid...... Understand what the Queen Mother means! ”

Eavesdropping on the master's conversation, this is a big taboo, the palace maid is okay, the eunuch has committed this taboo, and if she makes trouble, she will be beaten to death, this is where the court guards the eunuchs strictly. But the problem is that what happened in Yong'an Palace that day, except for the emperor and Xu Xun, no one can claim to know about it. Even if Ma Shi fully understands the ins and outs, he can only say that he doesn't know, otherwise he is looking for his own death. Even now, with the gold medal given by the Queen Mother, there is still a great risk that he will reveal the truth - just like the result of Aunt Meng, even if he is as close as a mother and son-in-law, there is no master who will like to carry a subordinate who betrays his news to the other party.

"Then you know what I'm going to ask." The Queen Mother stood up and looked at Ma Shi fiercely, her voice was extremely majestic. "Ma Shi, do you know or not?"

She could see that this young eunuch was going through a fierce ideological struggle in her heart - the Queen Mother also fully understood that even if her identity was thousands of times more noble than Ma Shi, Ma Shi's mind at this moment was not determined by her, at this moment, she could only rely on her own momentum to influence Ma Shi, but she could not choose the final result for him in a way that was not overstepping.

Often at this moment, the Queen Mother will always feel: The so-called powerful position is actually nothing more than that, although the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. However, the influence of royal power is sometimes so limited that even the closest subordinates around him cannot be controlled well.

"Back to the old lady."

Ma Shi's voice broke the Queen Mother's myth again, she suddenly retracted her mind and focused all her attention on the face in front of her.

"It is true that the slave and maid did not hear the quarrel between the two masters." The look on Ma Shi's face proved his sincerity and frankness. And the Queen Mother's heart couldn't help but sink down with his words.

However, "Ma Shi still left a twist. "The slave maid has to be brave, please ask the mother to ask the neighbors around the of Yong'an Palace again."

He raised his head and blinked at the Queen Mother, the look on his face seemed to be full of hints. The Queen Mother almost blurted out for a while: Since everyone knows that someone is eavesdropping, why don't you say this person's name?

However, she also quickly understood.

Ma Ten had already made his own choice - he knew that he had not done what he should not have done, and that the outcome of that choice would not have endangered his life. However, it does not mean that the multiple-choice question given by the Queen Mother has ended here.

And although he is inclined to Concubine Zhuang, but the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the things hurt him, Ma Shi's own tendency is not enough for him to betray his kind, and among Concubine Zhuang's cronies, there is still a person who must make one in his own life and Concubine Zhuang's journey
