Chapter 383: The Queen Mother Also Came to Fuel the Flames (Part I)
After An stopped at the news, she was furious and beat her chest, and for a while she didn't know whether she was worried about the father and daughter, or worried that her mother's dream of the world would be shattered.
"Madame, don't worry too much, although the Queen Mother was alarmed at this time, but Niangniang seems to have only been punished and grounded to copy books, not like she wants to make a big deal at this time, and the general is in the palace, he will definitely help Niangniang, and it will be fine."
The maid tried her best to comfort An's,
But apparently these things did not make An Shi feel relieved, and she still pressed the corners of her forehead very painfully, obviously having other explanations for this kind of thing.
"No matter what the Queen Mother says, she can be regarded as half of Anping's adoptive mother, and she treats Anping herself much closer than to me Xin'er. Xin'er slapped the cheap girl first this time, even if she deserved it, how could the Queen Mother not hold a grudge and take the opportunity to retaliate? ”
Ann's substitution came to himself,
If she is the queen mother, she will definitely not spare Ling Suxin, and she will inevitably make a big fuss about her 'killing her father', where will she only punish one person for copying books, so cheap?
"Could it be that the Queen Mother felt that the county lord was also at fault, so she decided to settle the matter?"
The maid thought with a simple idea, but the correct solution was immediately rejected by Ann's decisively.
"You know what."
Shaking his head,
"People in the palace are unpredictable, the reason why the queen mother can become the queen mother, how can she be a good person, where can it be so simple."
Ann's suspicions are too heavy,
With a roll of his eyes,
frowned,
Slowly straightened up and muttered:
"Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to use this matter to blackmail me......"
"What is Madame talking about, what can the Queen Mother threaten Madame." The maid looked at An's family, who was usually dignified and dignified, and had always been calm in trouble, but since she heard the rumors about the general and the county lord in Qiluoxiang, she seemed to have changed as a person.
And at this unpredictable time,
Suddenly, there was movement outside.
A little maid hurriedly came over, with a happy face: "Mrs. Qiyu, it's someone from the palace, and she has brought a lot of rewards." Madame, hurry up and go to the main hall to greet you. ”
In the palace?
Her heart tightened, and she didn't feel that she had some bad premonitions, and when she went to the main hall with anxiety, she raised her eyes and saw the trays and boxes tied with red silk in the courtyard and on the table.
The chief eunuch turned around,
It turned out to be Gonggong Wei beside the Queen Mother.
Gonggong Wei bowed slightly to her, then cleared his throat, unfolded the bright yellow scroll in his hand, and said loudly:
"The Empress Dowager is aiming for this, and An Shi is not quick to accept the order."
When a room full of people heard this, they knelt down,
Listen to Gonggong Wei reciting the contents of Yi's decree.
There is nothing else, and the will is full of praise for An's gentleness, virtue, and adherence to women's virtues. The words of beauty are not spared, and the rewards are rich, from silk and silk to gold and jade jewelry.
Such a decent and glorious thing made the general's mansion proud for a while, and his face was full of red light, and his heart was happy.
As long as Ann is alone,
With his head bowed,
The center of his eyebrows was twisted a little deeper, and he fell into a deep uneasiness, and he was stunned.
"Madame, it's time for Madame to receive the Order." Ranwen
The maid beside him reminded in a whisper,
Only then did she react,
Hurriedly took the edict and thanked him:
"Courtiers thank the Empress Dowager for her holy grace, and I wish the Empress Dowager a phoenix with good health and a long peace of mind."
After An got up, Grandpa Wei still didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, An made a look, and the maid beside him handed over an incomparably rich purse, he also smiled and declined, and said:
"The Queen Mother said that among so many courtiers, the general's wife is the most virtuous and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, and should be an example; The raised imperial concubine is also deeply pleased by the queen mother, these graces are what you deserve. ”
It was clearly a compliment, but when it came out of Gonggong Wei's mouth, it seemed to have a deep meaning.
Then he took a book out of his sleeve and put it on the table.
Fingered,
"There is also this book, the Queen Mother specially asked the slave to pass it on to Madame, saying that Madame is a smart person and can naturally understand it."
After leaving this sentence,
bowed, shook off the dust, and retired with a group of palace people.
After they all left, An Shi let out a sigh of relief, and all the spirit and spirit mentioned in front of him dispersed, and he sat down on the chair dejectedly, looking at the incomparably festive rewards, as well as the bright yellow scroll in his hand, and suddenly rebuked in a loud voice:
"What are you glad about, take all these things down for me, put them here as an eyesore!"
Dao likes laughter to stop abruptly,
Those maids couldn't understand that it was such a big happy event, but the lady seemed to be even more unhappy than before. I shouldn't have stayed longer, for fear of being affected, so I hurriedly took those things and hurriedly retreated.
The front hall has returned to its former appearance, but An's mood has not changed because of this, and these strange things make people really wonder what the Queen Mother wants to do.
First a light punishment, and now a reward?
At a loss, she set her eyes on the table,
"Bring me the things left by Grandpa Wei."
After the maid fetched it,
"History of the Later Han Dynasty?" The maid glanced at it and said puzzledly, "It's not poetry and songs, it's not a women's training, why does the queen mother give her wife a history book that only men can read." ”
An Shi was also puzzled, opened it casually, and read softly:
"'Although the beginning hangs its wings back to the stream, it can finally be used to fight for the pond, which can be described as a lost east, and a mulberry elm is harvested......" When I read this, I couldn't help but frown.
"Lost East, Harvested Mulberry?"
An's repeated the last sentence, his eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly understood everything that had happened.
He closed the book and let out a wry smile.
"What do you mean, ma'am, don't you have to read any further?"
"No need." The voice trembled like a gossamer, "Lost east, harvested mulberry." The Queen Mother wants to tell me that I have lost something in one place, but I have gained something in another. It seems that those rumors are not false, the general really has a personal relationship with the county lord of Anping, and the queen mother also knows about this matter, how can the queen mother not love the county lord, isn't this going to be her master. The so-called 'gain' is to punish Xin'er lightly and then reward him heavily; 'lose' naturally refers to the general. ”
After saying this, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I don't know where the strength suddenly came from,
After the sadness in his eyes retreated, only resentment remained,
Tear the book to shreds and scatter it to the ground.
Frightened, the maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged:
"This is given by the Queen Mother, and if it is passed on, it will be punished for the crime of disrespect."
"I'm about to become an abandoned woman, what am I afraid of?"
