Chapter 18 The mountain rain is coming

Back in Jiaofang Palace, Chen Ajiao saw Wan Lu coming back with a food box, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Majesty has never used pastries?" ”

Wan Lu nodded, leaned down and muttered in Gillian's ear, Gillian's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and said: "The Fang Palace is the residence of the former emperor's concubine Tian Meiren, what is the matter with her sending people to see Your Majesty?" ”

"The old slave also specially inquired about the small yellow door outside His Majesty's palace, but they didn't know. It's just that since His Majesty saw that palace maid, he has been busy driving Changle Palace, I don't know if there is anything related? ”

"Your Majesty is driving Changle Palace?" Gillian stood up and seemed to say to herself: "Is Your Majesty's going to see the Queen Mother related to the Cuifang Palace?" ”

Gillian said this, but it reminded Wan Lu of something, his eyes slipped, and he said flatteringly: "Queen, the old slave heard that the Queen Mother once pointed out a slave maid to pick up the Fang Palace, I don't know if it has anything to do with it?" ”

Gillian heard this, glanced at Wan Lu, and said angrily: "You damn old thing, how come this palace has never heard you mention this?" ”

Wan Lu wanted to ask for a trick, but unexpectedly in exchange for a meal, he was suddenly discouraged, slapped himself twice, and said: "The old slave should die!" Damn the old slave! ”

"That's it!" Gillian said coldly, "Do you know why the Queen Mother sent the maid of Changle Palace to pick up the Fang Palace?" ”

Wan Lu drooped his head and thought for a long time, and finally seemed to remember something, and said: "The old slave once went to Changle Palace to do business, and listened to two palace people talk about it, this palace maid was originally a devotee of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and Princess Pingyang sent her to sing a song to the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom, I don't know why, the Queen Mother pointed her to the Fang Palace, maybe she can't do things to the Queen Mother's mind!" ”

"The devotee of Binh Duong Mansion?" When Wan Lu said this, Gillian couldn't help but think of what happened in Yongyan Hall last year, and the two of them had a vague suspicion in their hearts, and couldn't help but sink their faces and ask, "What is the surname of this palace maid?" ”

Wan Lu thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "It seems that the surname is Wei." ”

Gillian pondered for a while, and said with a cold face: "Then the palace is really going to the Queen Mother to ask carefully!" Wanlu, drive Changle Palace! ”

"No!" Wan Lu looked at Gillian's annoyed appearance, and knew that a storm was coming.

-----

"Your Majesty has arrived!" In the Changle Palace, the queen mother was comfortably leaning on the soft pillow to close her eyes and recuperate, the two palace maids were carefully beating their legs on the side, hearing the sound of the ceremony, the queen mother opened her phoenix eyes slightly, and when she saw Liu Che stepping inside, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Che'er!" ”

Liu Che stepped forward and saluted: "Queen Mother! Then he waved his hand at the palace people and said, "You all stand down!" ”

Seeing Liu Che's solemn face, the Queen Mother couldn't help but lean sideways and asked in surprise, "Che'er, what happened?" ”

Liu Che waited for the palace maids in the palace to retreat completely, and then he muttered: "The queen mother, the son-in-law... The son-in-law has a child of a son..."Liu Che originally thought that the Queen Mother would be furious, but he didn't want the Queen Mother to be surprised: "Really? ”

Liu Che was quite surprised to see his mother's reaction, and nodded hesitantly, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but say, "Thank you for the blessing of your ancestors!" Thank you for the blessing of our ancestors! I finally have a successor! ”

Liu Che saw that the Queen Mother was so happy, and he was secretly relieved in surprise, but the Queen Mother sank her face and said: "Didn't the mourning family warn you, don't get close to your son-in-law during this time, have you ever taken the words of the mourning family to heart?" ”

Liu Che saw that the Queen Mother was suddenly angry, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters are definitely not putting the Queen Mother's instructions in the back of their heads, but..." Cheer, get up! ”

Liu Che saw that his mother was no longer to blame, and said: "Queen Mother, now the child in the womb of the husband is getting bigger day by day, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hide it for long in the long run. ”

"Hmm..." The Queen Mother just nodded, half silent in thought, Liu Che couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart, and urged: "Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother raised her head and said: "After you return to the palace, you will order someone to release the rumors, saying that Wei Zifu is already pregnant with His Majesty's heir..."

Liu Che hurriedly interrupted: "Queen Mother, wouldn't that put your husband to death?" Not to mention whether the emperor's grandmother knows or not, that is, Gillian knows, and the son-in-law is worried about his life! ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Liu Che and said coldly: "Che'er, when did you lose your breath like this, is the Queen Mother such a confused person?" ”

Liu Che was puzzled: "Erchen doesn't understand the meaning of the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother continued: "Over the years, you have ignored the government and politics, lingering on dogs and horses, your imperial grandmother's wariness of you has gone for the most part, if Wei Zifu's matter is known to Gillian, according to her temperament, she will definitely be very interested in asking the guilty, after she makes such a fuss, this matter is in the eyes of your imperial grandmother is a matter of your wandering wreckage, and the remaining half of your guard will be completely relaxed." ”

Liu Che nodded again and again when he heard this, and then listened to the Queen Mother say: "Your imperial grandmother has gone through three dynasties, and now that you are completely obedient to her, there is no need to avoid taboos in the affairs of your husband according to today's situation, as long as your imperial grandmother no longer pursues it, you can take care of it yourself." ”

Liu Che bowed his head and said: "What the queen mother said is very true! Then he frowned again, "Queen Mother, Erchen is worried that even if the imperial grandmother no longer pursues it, I am afraid that according to Gillian's temperament, I am afraid that she will not be able to give up..."

The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty can send a decree to bring Wei Zifu to the Mourning Family Pleasure Palace to recuperate, and the Mourning Family doesn't believe that Chen Ajiao can still make trouble in the Changle Palace?" ”

Liu Che hurriedly smiled and said: "It's still the queen mother's thoughtfulness, so the son-in-law will order someone to bring her son-in-law." Then he looked back and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Yang is proud!" ”

Hearing this, Yang proudly trotted forward and replied respectfully: "The old slave is here!" Liu Che said: "Spread my message, the Queen Mother announced the edict to pick up the guards of the Fang Palace to enter the Changle Palace!" ”

Before the words fell, he heard a voice from outside the hall: "The queen has arrived!" Liu Che was taken aback and said in surprise: "Why did Gillian come?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly: "Hmph! I'm afraid that this matter has already been revealed, Che'er, since someone has released the news for you, what will you do next? Liu Che also nodded with a cold smile, turned his head to Yang and said proudly: "You hurry up and do it!" ”

"No!" Yang proudly received the order, and hurriedly walked outside the hall, at this time Gillian took Wanlu and two palace maids from outside the palace, saw Yang proudly rushed out, stopped and asked: "Yang proud, Your Majesty is here?" ”

Yang De's opinion was that the queen didn't dare to refuse, so he hurriedly stopped and bowed and saluted: "Back to the queen, Your Majesty is talking to the queen mother in the palace." ”

Gillian bowed slightly, remembering that Yang was in a hurry just now, and asked again: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, where are you going?" ”

"This..."Yang was speechless for a while, and was thinking about how to answer, when Wan Lu on the side urged: "The queen asked you, why shouldn't you?" At this time, the voice of the Queen Mother came from the palace: "But the Queen is here?" ”

Gillian said proudly to Yang when she heard this: "Okay, you go down first!" After that, he glanced at Wan Lu, and Wan Lu nodded knowingly. Gillian walked into the hall at this time, greeted the Queen Mother and Liu Che slightly, and said: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother is extremely happy!" ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "No courtesy! How can the queen have leisure to mourn her family's Changle Palace today? ”

Gillian ordered the palace maid to present the pastries, and said: "Gillian saw that His Majesty was worried about state affairs these days, and specially prepared His Majesty's favorite pastries to send people to the Yutang Palace. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's rare for the queen to have a heart!" Since Gillian entered the palace, Liu Che has not said a word, and when he heard the Queen Mother say this, Liu Che showed a smile and praised: "Queen Shude!" ”

Gillian already had a thorn in her heart, and when she saw Liu Che so reluctant, she was even more unhappy in her heart, so she ignored Liu Che, and only ordered the palace maid next to her: "Don't take it and taste it with the Queen Mother!" ”

The palace maid bowed her head and agreed, took out the pastries and jade chopsticks from the box, and stepped forward to serve the queen mother. The Queen Mother picked up a piece of soft cake and tasted it carefully, and said with a smile: "Hmm! Yes, yes, this white jade soft cake is sweet but not greasy, it melts in your mouth, Che'er, you can also taste some, but don't let down the queen's heart! ”

The palace maid turned to offer the pastry to Liu Che, Liu Che already had a lot of complaints about Gillian coming, and Yang proudly went to pick up Wei Zifu before he returned, and he absentmindedly put a piece in his mouth to taste, Gillian was very unhappy when she saw this, but she didn't grasp the real handle, so she had to sit down on the desk and bear it. The Queen Mother sat on the main seat and looked at everything in front of her, thinking about the good show that was about to be staged, and the three of them had their own thoughts, and the Changle Palace was shrouded in a moment of tranquility before the mountain rain was coming.

-----

Yang Deyi hurried to the Zhufang Palace, Wanlu followed sneakily all the way, Yang Deyi sneered in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to it, walked from Changle Palace, and went straight to the Zhufang Palace.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" Yang was taken aback by the sudden arrival of Yang Deyi, and Wei Zifu and Tian Meiren were all taken aback, and they all knelt down to receive the order: "Concubine Tian Mi, slave and maid Shu Yu, Wei Zifu listen to the order!" ”

"Your Majesty's dictation, the Queen Mother announced the edict to bring the guards of the Fang Palace into the Changle Palace!"

The will, Wei Zifu was shocked, even if he went to Changle Palace, it means that the Queen Mother already knows about it, I don't know if the Queen Mother is angry, Wei Zifu is worried in his heart.

"Miss Wei, please go with the old slave!" Yang proudly finished his speech and urged.

Tian Meiren and Shu Yu looked at Wei Zifu and nodded slightly, although there was worry in their eyes, but more expectation, Wei Zifu understood in his heart, smiled slightly and nodded in response.

"Please lead the way!" Wei Zifu bowed. Yang bowed his head proudly and led the way.

As soon as he came out of the palace, he saw Wan Lu lying on his stomach and looking inside, Yang was proud and immediately lowered his face and looked at Wan Lu a few sneers, Wan Lu knew that he was at a loss, he drooped his head and was silent, but he glanced at Wei Zifu from time to time.

Seeing this, Wei Zifu hurriedly lowered his head, and hurriedly walked behind Yang Deyi, not far from the Fang Palace, but heard Gongsun Ao's voice from a distance behind him: "Zifu! As soon as he turned around, he saw Gongsun Ao walking over quickly.

"Son-in-law, what happened?" Looking at Yang Deyi and Wan Lu on the side, one was the emperor's close attendant, and the other was Da Changqiu, who was beside the queen, but at the same time appeared in the Fang Palace, Gongsun Ao was full of suspicions.

Yang De saw a guard catch up and said in surprise: "Miss Wei, who is this?" Wei Zifu hurriedly responded: "Gongsun Guard is the elder brother of the son-in-law, and he bothered the chamberlain to wait for a while. ”

Yang proudly glanced at Gongsun Ao a few times, and then looked at Wan Lu, who stretched his neck not far away to listen to the news, and reminded: "Miss Wei, don't delay for too long, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are still waiting." ”

Wei Zifu thanked: "Zifu understands, thank you Lord Neishu!" ”

Hearing that Liu Che and the Queen Mother were waiting for Wei Zifu, Gongsun Ao felt uneasy in his heart, and couldn't wait to ask, "Zifu, what happened?" Why did Your Majesty and the Queen Mother summon you? ”

Looking at the apprehension and anxiety on Gongsun Ao's face, thinking of the bits and pieces he treated himself on weekdays, Wei Zifu was full of regret in his heart, but at this moment, Yang was proudly waiting for urging in the front, and Wan Lu was sneakily snooping in the back, no matter how much he spoke, it was inconvenient to say, so he only said: "Brother Gongsun has a long story about this matter, and the son-in-law will come to his brother one by one in the future." ”

Gongsun Ao is also a shrewd person, and seeing this situation, he knows that it is not appropriate to say more at this moment, so he can only be concerned: "Zifu, be careful in everything!" Wei Zifu nodded slightly, turned around and saw Wan Luzheng pacing over as if nothing had happened, hurriedly following Yang Smug, and hurriedly headed towards Changle Palace.
