Chapter 57: Make a bet with the mourners
"Well, let's listen to it, the mourning family also wants to see what you are asking for, right?" The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Gu Yunxin was slightly blessed, and said with a decent smile on his face: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, but please also ask the Queen Mother to accept the congratulatory gifts from the courtiers first, so that the courtiers can speak." ”
"Presumptuous, are you trying to threaten the Queen Mother?" Mama Su said angrily.
"Mama thinks it's a misunderstanding, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, as a junior, I should have offered a gift to congratulate, even if the Queen Mother didn't agree to Yun Xin's request, Yun Xin would not have complained to the Queen Mother."
After finishing speaking, Gu Yunxin took out a brocade box from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to the Queen Mother, Mama Su took the brocade box and opened it, and the Queen Mother smiled at the corner of her mouth.
Gu Yunxin gave her a five-phoenix golden step, this five-phoenix gold-step-shake made the queen mother instantly can't help but cry, when she and the first emperor just got married, the first emperor gave her such a step, and later, the rebellion of the nine kings, it was King Kang and Dingguo Gong, Zhongyong Hou and others who supported the first emperor to the throne.
And that step shake was also lost in the original war, I really didn't expect that after so many years, she would still be able to see this step shake.
"Girl, where did you find this step?" The Queen Mother looked at Gu Yun and said.
Gu Yunxin is just a child, can he be so scheming? But not many people know about these five phoenixes, how did she know?
Just thinking about it, Gu Yunxin said softly: "Back to the Queen Mother, this was drawn by the courtier's daughter, and then asked the boss of Ruyi Fang to teach the courtier's daughter to make it." ”
What the? She actually drew and made it herself? Really? "You said that you drew these five phoenix golden steps by hand and did it yourself, why do you have to be so attentive to the mourning family? The grandchildren of the mourning family are only given some things that can be bought with money, but you are so thoughtful for the mourning family, if the mourning family does not agree to your request, is it a little unkind? ”
"The Queen Mother laughed, Yun Xin just felt that except for the Queen Mother, other people were not qualified to wear these five phoenix steps."
"Oh? How so? ”
"The phoenix was originally a symbol of noble status, and what other woman in the palace is more noble than the Queen Mother? When the emperor ascended the throne, he was questioned by many courtiers and princes, and the queen mother had the ability to turn the tide and support the emperor's pro-government. ”
"Hahaha, you girl, your mouth is really sweet." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"The Queen Mother likes it, that's the blessing of this step." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
Empress Xiao on the side listened to Gu Yunxin's words just now, and her teeth were really itching with hatred, this slut actually said that the Queen Mother was the most noble woman in the harem, and she didn't take her seriously at all.
No matter how noble the Queen Mother is, she is not the master of the harem, and now the person in the world is her Xiao Wanyue, not the Queen Mother, not to mention, the Queen Mother is already old, what good can she do so much?
"Queen Mother, it seems that in Miss Gu's heart, she didn't take you seriously, no wonder she had to cancel the marriage contract with Xiao Shizi in front of the emperor." Ru Guifei sneered.
finally seized such an opportunity to ridicule Queen Xiao, how could she let it go so easily? Empress Xiao and Ru Guifei have been fighting for so many years, and they have won and lost. Since Gu Yunxin refused to be her son's side concubine, she would not let Empress Xiao's son get away for nothing.
As for Concubine Xi, her mother's family is not very powerful, even if she is favored now, what can she do if she has a dragon heir? After all, it's just an unborn child, how can he compete for that position with the princes who have grown up?
"If the concubine Niangniang is trying to provoke me to fight with the queen? Today, the Queen Mother is birthday, it is a happy thing, the concubine must make waves, so that the Queen Mother's birthday is unpleasant? Gu Yunxin was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Miss Gu is really sharp-toothed." Ru Guifei said coldly.
"Mother, what Miss Gu said is that today is my grandmother's birthday, so why make trouble at this time." King Ding persuaded him.
"Zhang'er, don't be thinking about Miss Gu, they don't want to be your side concubine at all. Hmph, this palace hasn't disliked her as a broken shoe that was abandoned, she's good, and she's pretentious. ”
"For example, concubine, you are talking a little too much, if you want people to respect you, you must first learn to respect others." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, the concubine closed her mouth unwillingly, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor is very filial to the queen mother, if she loses her sacred heart because of her momentary pride, then she is too unworthy, in short, Gu Yunxin, a little slut, can dispose of it whenever she wants, and she is not in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Ru Guifei respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the concubine knows that she is wrong." ”
Seeing that the concubine softened, the queen mother did not reprimand more, after all, the person who manages the harem now is the queen, not her, the queen mother, many things, as long as they are not excessive, she can turn a blind eye.
"Yunxin girl, the mourning family may have guessed your request. How about we make a bet? ”
"Okay." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"You don't even ask the mourning family what they guessed, just bet with the mourning family? Are you so sure you can win? "The Queen Mother has a good time.
If she thought Gu Yunxin was just smart just now, then now she appreciates Gu Yunxin a little more. Her baby grandson doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet, if she can marry the fifth child, it would be good, but ......
Gu Yunxin and Xiao Ziming have a marriage contract, everyone knows, although Xiao Ziming did something wrong, but it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, if the marriage contract is canceled because of such a thing, it can only be said that this woman is very jealous.
And jealousy is one of the seven rules, if she really marries her grandson with such a strong temperament, will it be a blessing or a curse?
"The Queen Mother's eyes are like torches, how can Yun Xin's careful thinking be hidden from the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother didn't say anything, but she just saved face for Yun Xin. ”
"You girl, the mourning family really likes it. The mourning family should do what you want, and your marriage needs to be done by yourself, and no one is allowed to force it. The Queen Mother said with a smile.
The meaning of this is also to tell the queen and Concubine Ru that you all want to rob Gu Yunxin to be your son's bargaining chip for the throne, and Gu Yunxin herself has to be willing, but at the moment, people are not willing to wade into this troubled water with you at all.
It is rare to have a few pure ministers in the court, and the queen mother naturally wants to protect these courtiers who refuse to stand in line for the emperor, as for those courtiers who want to cling to the powerful, let them fight by themselves.
"Queen Mother, how can this be, since ancient times, it has been the words of the parents and the matchmaker, and then there is the emperor's marriage, where can she be the master of the marriage?" Empress Xiao said hurriedly.
The Queen Mother made it clear that she didn't want her to compete with any of the concubines, could it be that the Queen Mother still wanted to leave that cripple? King Rui originally had a high reputation in the army and the court, and if he had the help of the Gu family, it would be impossible to ascend to that position.
"Queen, do you mean that the mourning family can't even do the marriage of a few children?" The queen said unhappily.
"No, no, it's a blessing for the children to get your marriage from the Queen Mother, look back, Feng'er's marriage still wants you to give them a blessing." Empress Xiao smiled and said. The emperor's marriage is a happy event, but if there is a marriage from the queen mother, many people can't ask for it.
"The marriage of the second child, you and the emperor are in charge. The mourning family will not interfere. ”
What does it mean that she doesn't meddle anymore? Could it be that she only cares about that crippled marriage? If you don't interfere, you won't interfere, Xiao Sirui and Zhao Feng were originally in love, and they must be allowed to get married as soon as possible.
"Grandmother, grandson sees that the hour is almost up, we might as well go to the Chongzheng Hall now." Rui Wang said with a smile.
That smile really fascinated Gu Yunxin for a while, and she forgot to go out with her, if it weren't for the red silk next to her to remind her, I'm afraid she would have to stay here to see the faces of those people.
When they came to the Chongzheng Palace, many ministers were already sitting in their seats, and when they saw the Queen Mother and King Rui walking in at the same time, they got up and saluted.
The queen mother's favorite grandson is King Rui, and now King Rui is crippled, and he takes care of him like a treasure, and wants to find a suitable woman for him to be Princess Rui, but unfortunately, a few years have passed, and there is no one he likes.
After everyone sat down in their seats, first the emperor and the empress gave blessings to the queen mother, and then the other concubines of the harem offered blessings under the leadership of Ruguifei.
After the concubine presents, it will be the turn of other clan relatives and nobles, King Jing gave the queen mother is a white jade Guanyin, "the queen mother, the minister knows that the queen mother often worships Guanyin Bodhisattva, this Guanyin is carved by the minister with a whole piece of white jade, and enshrined in the Foguang Temple for seven seven forty-nine days, please enlighten the monks." ”
"King Jing has a heart, your gift, the mourning family likes it very much." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"The queen mother, the sons also have gifts to offer, to ensure that the queen mother likes it." King Kang said with a smile.
"Oh? You don't go into the palace these days to say hello to the mourning family, fortunately, you still remember the birthday of the mourning family and know to come back. The Queen Mother said angrily.
King Kang and the emperor are both born to the Queen Mother, but King Kang has always been casual, usually just doing some things to listen to music and watch plays, many people say that he is a prince who only knows how to have fun, but she knows that King Kang did this to make his imperial brother believe that he has no covetousness for the throne.
How can the king's pillow allow others to snore, even if it is his own relatives and flesh and blood, when the first emperor was in the dynasty, how tragic the nine kings were to seize the heir, and the queen mother still remembers it as fresh as new. It's just that I can't see my son often, and mothers are always worried.
"Queen Mother, you have wronged your son-in-law, but your son-in-law left Kyoto in order to prepare a birthday gift for you." King Kang said with a smile. Then, King Kang raised his hands into the air, slapped them a few times, and someone walked up briskly with a picture scroll......
