Volume 2 The Court Chapter 71 The Queen Mother also conducts surprise inspections
Helpless and depressed, Bei Jue went to Princess Gong Jing's residence in despair, and when she saw him like this, Princess Gong Jing couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiaobei, you look listless, did something happen?" ”
"I ......" Bei Jue wanted to speak and stopped.
Princess Gong Jing looked at him and asked tentatively, "Is it because you heard rumors about you and the queen?" ”
Bei Jue was shocked and asked nervously: "You, have you heard about it too?" ”
Princess Gong Jing smiled and said, "I heard about it early this morning, and there are several different versions!" ”
"Isn't it?" Bei Juese screamed miserably, and patted his forehead vigorously, "It's dead, it's really hard to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River now!" Jing'er, you have to believe me, I, I ......" was so nervous that she was stuck.
Seeing his annoyed and nervous appearance, Princess Gong Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud. After she laughed, she comforted and said: "I believe you, these are all rumors made up by the palace people who are idle and have nothing to do, and they can only be listened to as jokes, how can they be taken seriously?" Xiaobei, the clear is self-purifying, why do you have to mind what others say? When they have said enough, they will naturally not continue. ”
Bei Juese listened to the words of the palace master of Gong Jing, and suddenly seemed to find a long-looking soulmate, and stepped forward to take Princess Gong Jing's hand and said, "Jing'er, you are still the best!" ”
Princess Gong Jing raised her eyes to look at him, smiling without saying a word.
Looking at this faint smile up close, Bei Juese's heart beat several beats faster again inexplicably, and the sounds around him also quieted down in an instant, and the hand he was holding forgot to put it down, so he kept pulling and holding it.
Looking at Bei's dementia, Princess Gong Jing shook his hand with some worry and asked, "Xiaobei, why did you suddenly freeze?" Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? ”
"No, no......" Coming back to his senses, Bei Juese faced Princess Gongjing's innocent and concerned gaze, and hurriedly let go of his hand with some embarrassment, "I, I don't feel uncomfortable, it's just that it's just ......"
He squeaked and explained with a weak heart, and Princess Gong Jing, who was not aware of anything wrong, still looked at him softly with innocent eyes.
"Ah, yes!" In his nervousness, he thought of a question that diverted his gaze, "Jing'er, do you know what kind of place Anle Hall is?" Although he was dizzy from hitting his head on the floor that day, he could clearly hear what the Queen said with a crying voice, and listening to her tone at that time, it seemed that the peace hall was not a good place.
Princess Gong Jing said: "Anle Hall is on the west house between the north of Lingxing Gate and Jinao Yuyu Bridge. All the sick or sinful palace people will be sent there. Sick and old palace people go there to wait for death, there will be no doctor to treat you, even if you can't die, after staying there for a while, you will be sent to the Yuan Yi Bureau as a hard laborer. Xiaobei, why did you suddenly ask about Anle Hall? ”
"Oh, I, I heard other palace people talk about it, so I asked casually if I was curious."
After listening to Princess Gong Jing's words, Bei Jue's eyebrows slowly wrinkled, and he began to feel a little uneasy in his heart. When he was teaching embroidery next, he seemed absent-minded, and in the end, he was even pricked with blood on his fingers by an embroidery needle.
Coming back to her senses in pain, Princess Gong Jing on the side exclaimed: "Ah, it's bleeding!" ”
Bei Juese pressed his bleeding fingers, stood up and said, "It's just a small thing. Jing'er, I suddenly remembered that there are some things to do in a hurry, and I will come to you tomorrow, goodbye! ”
"Then you go slowly......" Princess Gong Jing hadn't finished speaking, and Bei Jue had already walked out like a gust of wind. Looking at his back in a hurry, Princess Gong Jing touched her forehead in confusion.
Hurriedly returned to the Qianqing Palace, and before he stepped into the boundary of the outer courtyard of the emperor's bedroom, he heard that it was very noisy inside. Bei Juese walked in suspiciously, and when he went in, he saw Zhu Yijun standing in the middle of the courtyard with a whip and a sword at his waist, Zhang Cheng with a bitter face standing behind him cautiously, and a eunuch standing in front of him with a shrunken face; The other eunuchs and guards stood on both sides with different expressions. The atmosphere looks a little weird!
As soon as he saw Bei Jue, Zhu Yijun immediately waved his hand vigorously at him excitedly: "Xiaobei!" Come here, come here! ”
Bei Juese walked over slowly, and walked with a very respectful attitude in front of everyone. However, before he knelt down, Zhu Yijun had already helped him up with one hand, his eyes flashed with excitement, and said, "Xiaobei, you come and try!" It's fun! ”
The strong smell of wine that came to his face made Bei Juese frown, he glanced at Zhu Yijun, who was obviously drunk on his face, and asked angrily: "What interesting things did the emperor find again?" ”
Zhu Yijun stuffed the whip in his hand into Bei Juese's hand, and shouted at the eunuch standing in front of him: "Hey! Don't put the grapefruit on top of your head yet? ”
The eunuch trembled and put a grapefruit on top of his head, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, spare the minions!" ”
Zhu Yijun glared at him: "Less nonsense!" Stand straight! After glaring at the eunuch, he turned his head and smiled at Bei Juese and said, "Xiaobei, see the grapefruit on his head?" It's very simple, just sweep the grapefruit down with a whip, it's fun! ”
Hearing him say this, Bei Jue's face suddenly sank.
And, when Zhu Yijun asked the eunuch to put the grapefruit on his head, the Empress Dowager Cisheng also happened to come to the courtyard of the dormitory. She only brought a personal palace maid over, and along the way, she signaled the palace people and guards who saw her not to make a sound, so she came to the emperor's bedroom gate, and all the people in the courtyard did not notice the queen mother's presence.
When the Empress Dowager Cisheng, who arrived outside the courtyard, heard her son's words, her face sank, and her footsteps stopped. This messy son doesn't know what to do this time! Okay, let's see how you make a fuss first, and then I'll go in and clean you up!
Seeing that Bei Jue was holding the whip and not moving, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Xiaobei, don't you know how to use a whip?" It doesn't matter if it won't! He drew the saber from his waist, "You can also use a sword." This sword is very sharp, and if you cut it at the grapefruit above your head, it will definitely cut the grapefruit in both sides. ”
The eunuch with the grapefruit on his back was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt down and cried and said, "The emperor spares his life!" "That sword is cold and shining, and at a glance you know that it is extremely sharp, and it is difficult to control the strength when you cut it, and by the way, you can cut your head into both sides.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng, who was outside the courtyard, frowned tightly, and her face became even heavier. When the emperor was still a prince, she was a small palace maid from an ordinary family in the palace of King Yu, and she slowly climbed from the powerless little palace maid to the current queen mother, although her status is noble, but she has always been very tolerant of the palace people, and she is also very humane, unlike other royal families, who treat the palace people under her as pigs and dogs. In the past, Zhu Yijun cut off the hair of two close palace attendants because she was drunk, and she was severely reprimanded by her. Now that she saw her son attacking the palace people under her hand, she couldn't help but go in to stop her son's nonsense.
