Chapter 100: After the week, he generously let go of his grievances
Chongzhen's heart tightened, and when he saw all the palace maids stepping forward to support Zhou Hou and slowly entered the harem, he had the heart to follow up to see what was going on, but he couldn't wipe his face after all, so he paused and went to Wenhua Hall to sit still.
said that he was sitting still, but his mind was full of scenes of suffering with Queen Zhou when he was isolated before, and he couldn't help but regret it.
After three days, Chongzhen couldn't wait to order the eunuch to summon the personal palace maid of Zhou Hou, and asked in a harmonious voice: "How is the queen's diet and daily life recently?" ”
The palace maid was deeply dissatisfied with Chongzhen's behavior, and said: "The queen is extremely sad, she hasn't eaten water and rice for three days, which is really worrying." ”
Chongzhen lost his mouth and said: "Water and rice don't enter? How can it be done? Alas, it's all weird, it's all weird. ”
Chattering, he suddenly realized his gaffe, straightened his face, but still said: "Come on, bring my mink coat and give it to the queen." ”
Seeing Chongzhen's remorse, the palace maid was happy in her heart, but she said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks it's inappropriate." ”
Chongzhen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Tell me about it. ”
Seeing that he was in a hurry, the palace maid had a bottom in her heart, but she was not in a hurry, and pretended to be afraid and said, "The slave doesn't dare to say it." ”
Chongzhen was only anxious, where could he know the thoughts of this palace maid, and when he heard the words, he immediately said: "I forgive you for your innocence." ”
The palace maid pretended to be and said: "As far as the slave maid knows, Concubine Tian is proud of the emperor's favor, and she is so angry that no one pays attention to her, which has already aroused the anger of the public." If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask, as long as he doesn't ask herself.
The queen mother just wants to give her a memory, it should be said that the queen mother neither exceeded her authority, nor for herself, but also for the heavens, the emperor actually listened to Concubine Tian's words, and let the queen mother suffer an injustice, do you say wronged? ”
Chongzhen naturally knows this, but he can't wipe off his face. At this time, listening to this palace maid say it, although it was mixed with unhappiness and blame, Chongzhen still listened carefully.
When the palace maid saw it, the bolder she became, she continued: "So, strictly speaking, this mink should not be called a reward, but should be regarded as an apology. ”
Chongzhen had lost his mind and asked casually, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”
The palace maid said: "The emperor should send it in person, and comfort him by the way, even if this is the case, the queen may not be willing to accept it." ”
As he spoke, seeing Chongzhen's face full of doubts, he continued: "Your Majesty, what do you think, how can such a selfless person as the queen mother be greedy for property?" If you don't believe it, the emperor might as well try it. ”
Chongzhen thought about it, but still said: "You don't know, this mink is not just a mink coat, or a friendship of mine, I don't believe it, and the queen can still refuse my friendship." ”
As he spoke, he got off the donkey by the slope, got up, and went straight to Kunning Palace.
Chongzhen summoned the personal palace maid of Zhou Hou, thinking that he was doing a secret, but he didn't know that this palace maid had already been reported to Zhou Hou.
Zhou Houden knew Chongzhen's intentions, his resentment was swept away, and his mood improved, but his goal had not yet been achieved.
Chongzhen was a little embarrassed, waved at the palace maid, and pointed to the mink in her arms.
The palace maid understood, turned to the opposite side of the queen, and said while squeezing her eyebrows: "Queen Qiyu, the emperor gave me a mink robe, do we want it or not?" ”
"This little hoof, just count your ghost eyes, do you need to say so clearly? In case it is missed, see how you explain it? Secretly reproached, and said: "The palace is not needed, the treasury is difficult, don't waste it, please give it to the favored person." ”
Chongzhen also felt that there was something wrong with the words of this palace maid, and after listening to Zhou Hou's words, he was anxious, and he didn't have time to think about it, and said: "The queen is wrong, although this is just a mink coat, but it is my heart, how can I reward it casually?" ”
Zhou Hou was happy in her heart, but she was still lying like that, and insisted on her mouth: "The emperor should give it to someone else, I'm afraid the concubines can't afford to enjoy it." ”
"I must have hurt her too hard." Chongzhen thought secretly, disappointed, and raised his eyes to look at the personal palace maid of Zhou Hou. The palace maid was also looking at him, and Chongzhen gestured helplessly: As you said, what do you say?
The palace maid shook her head vigorously, glanced at Zhou Hou, and then gestured with her eyes: The slave and maid don't know, the emperor should understand.
Of course Chongzhen understood, but he didn't want to, seeing this, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then secretly gritted his teeth, and said: "I have already understood, Concubine Tian has indeed done a lot of unbearable things, and she should have been punished, and the queen did the right thing."
However, this, this Concubine Tian actually reversed black and white, which caused me to misunderstand and hurt the queen, and she should not be spared.
But thinking that Concubine Tian had also served me wholeheartedly, I decided to close Concubine Tian's close and punish her to the Qixiang Palace next to the Provincial Pavilion to think about it behind closed doors. ”
After that, he lowered his voice again, and said with a pleading meaning: "Is it good for the queen to think so?" ”
"The king of a country, he can do this!" Zhou Hou was greatly moved, hurriedly got up and thanked him, took the mink coat in the arms of the palace maid, and carefully put it away, before he took the porridge handed over by the palace maid, and before he could eat it, he suddenly turned his back and vomited.
Chongzhen just breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about saying something, not wanting her to be like this, so he hurriedly came over, and gently helped her on the back, while asking again and again, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
Zhou Hou tried to hold back, glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "They are all people who have been fathers twice, and they don't even understand this?" ”
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and asked in disbelief: "Really? ”
Zhou Hou knew that Zhu Cixuan, the king of Huaiyin, died early, and it happened that the slave army attacked the capital, and Chongzhen couldn't even take care of his sadness, which undoubtedly became Chongzhen's eternal distress. So she nodded firmly, and then proudly stroked her abdomen with her hand.
Chongzhen was overjoyed, and said loudly: "Great joy, good omen, singing, please play troupe." After speaking, he suddenly realized that this matter should be taken care of by Zhou Hou, so he lowered his head and stared at her with both eyes, but the meaning was obvious.
Zhou Hou couldn't bear to sweep his excitement and said, "Okay, the emperor has already spoken, what else can the concubine say?" However, the current imperial court needs money everywhere, just one day. ”
This is the first time that Zhou Hou has invited a drama troupe since she became the queen, and Chongzhen hugged Zhou Hou like a child.
In fact, not only Chongzhen, but after the news spread, the entire harem was boiling.
It's a pity that good times are always fleeting, and before you know it, it's spring, and Shanglin Yuan actually bloomed countless flowers overnight.
Chongzhen happened to have no troubles to disturb, so he was surprised and brought all the concubines in the harem to watch.
Zhou Hou approached and said: "Concubine Tian is missing, it's too unexpected, let's let her come together." ”
Chongzhen didn't know that Zhou Hou was paying attention to Concubine Tian all the time, and when he learned that Concubine Tian regretted his actions, he had ordered someone to invite him, but he was testing himself after Zhou, although he was desperate in his heart, he just kept silent.
Concubine Tian saw Chongzhen leaving angrily that day, and was full of anticipation: "Hmph, you also have this day, you know it now, why bother in the first place?" ”
Looking forward to it, Chongzhen is gone. Concubine Tian felt that something was wrong, and she was about to send someone to inquire, and Chongzhen's holy decree to confine her had arrived.
Although she hadn't seen it, she had heard the horror of the concubines being locked up in the cold palace. And so it is. Concubine Tian's heart was like ashes, and she no longer thought about him.
On this day, I suddenly saw someone coming to pick her up, and asked again and again, it was the queen who took her to enjoy the flowers, where did she dare to have any more grievances? When he arrived at Shanglin Yuan, he couldn't care about the emperor, so he threw himself into the arms of Zhou Hou and cried bitterly.
Chongzhen was sullen, and suddenly this scene appeared, gave Zhou Hou a thumbs up, and said secretly: "Shouldn't this be counted as a good sign?" ”
