Chapter 117: Complaint
The queen mother is a person who worships the Buddha, and every morning and dusk must be incense and chant scriptures, and this child just came out of the Buddha hall, and saw Wanyin's face pale, and she was listlessly waiting outside.
"What's going on? Didn't you rest yesterday? ”
Wanyin was startled, didn't notice the queen mother coming out, and was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and confessed: "The slave and maid are out of order, please atone for the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Get up first, you have always had rules, and you rarely make this kind of mistake, tell the mourning family, but what happened?" ”
Wanyin was a little distracted, thinking of last night's incident, and she felt aggrieved and had no choice.
Cen Run came back very late yesterday, his whole body was soaking wet and looking depressed, looking at him like that, he was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, but when he went to ask him, he refused to say a word to himself.
She knew in her heart that Cen Run had gone to find Princess Yan, she was shocked and angry, he had always been the most sensible in the palace, and now he didn't care about it so much, he was really not even afraid of death, for what? It's not to know that Princess Yan is going to be married, and I'm confused.
The more Wanyin thought about it, the more angry she became, and it happened that the Queen Mother asked, so she replied: "The Queen Mother, the slave maid shouldn't have said this to make you upset, but the slave maid was very uneasy and worried about the face of the emperor and the heavenly family. ”
"Huh?" The Empress Dowager looked upright, and pushed away the tea brought by the palace maid for her, "It will affect the face of the emperor and the heavenly family, what else should not be said about such a big matter." ”
Wanyin seemed to have made up her mind, and knelt in front of the queen mother again: "It rained heavily last night, and the slave maid and the chief manager Cen were not on duty, so they went back to the duty room.
"Although the slave and maid were worried, they had to wait in the duty room, thinking that the chief manager would come back when it was almost time, and his whole body was wet with rain, and the slave and maid asked, and the chief manager refused to say more, only said that the princess had something to order."
Wanyin's eyes were red, and she glanced at the queen mother inadvertently, and when she saw her frowning, she continued to say pitifully: "The slave doesn't dare to say anything about the princess, she is the master, and she tells the slave to do things, we don't dare to disobey, but...... The slave maid had heard of it earlier, and the princess and the chief steward had known each other earlier, and for this she always privately instructed the chief steward to do this and that, and the chief steward couldn't refuse, there was really no way, and there were rumors of eunuchs and palace maids below......"
"What's the rumor?" The queen mother's face was ugly and tight, and her beautiful eyes were completely cold, and she trembled when she saw Wanyin, and after thinking about it, she continued.
"Rumor has it...... Princess Yan has a good impression of the chief manager......."
"Nonsense!" The queen mother slapped the table and screamed, and she was so frightened that Wanyin shivered.
"The queen mother, the chief manager has never refused, and he also told the slave maid in private, I think there is really no way, this room is because of the rain of the princess, we are not afraid of getting sick, we are originally slaves, with rough skin and thick flesh, but if you accidentally get sick, you can't serve the emperor carefully, and if this matter reaches the ears of Jin Xiaowangye, then the queen mother and the emperor want to marry, can it be done?"
"This building is warm!" The queen mother was furious, and her angry fingers trembled, "The mourning family thought that she was just a pampered woman, knowing that she was a princess with a noble status, and some petty mourners could also indulge her, but!" She dared to do such an ugly thing that damaged the royal face, she was ashamed of her ancestors! ”
The Queen Mother took a breath and calmed down: "What you said is very good, if the mourning family doesn't know, I don't know what else Princess Yan can do!" Jin Yu! ”
Jin Yu was guarding outside the palace, and when he heard the Queen Mother calling himself, he hurriedly walked in: "The Queen Mother, the slave is here!" ”
"Go and find the emperor, and say that the mourning family has something important to say!"
"Huh!"
When Jin Yu came to look for the emperor, he happened to be walking in the imperial garden, and when he heard that the empress dowager had something important, he came directly to Cishou Palace.
When I entered the door, I saw that the queen mother's face was pale, and the voice on the side seemed to be crying and her eyes were red, and she asked a little inexplicably: "What is the matter with the queen mother looking for her son?" Look at your face is not good, but you are not feeling well? Cen Run went to find Imperial Doctor Li. ”
"Yes, the minion will go."
"No need." The queen mother's voice was cold, and she glanced at Cen Run, "Chief Cen and Wanyin will go out and wait first, the mourning family has something to talk about with the emperor." ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, but also obeyed the queen mother's wishes, and nodded: "Let's go down first." ”
Cen Run glanced at Wanyin without a trace, and retreated.
When only the queen mother and the emperor were left in the room, the emperor asked, "What did the queen mother want to say when she waved everyone away?" ”
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "Hmph, the mourning family is doing this to maintain the royal face." ”
The emperor frowned: "The face of the royal family? What is it? ”
"Not your good princess?"
"Nuan Jin?" The emperor has a headache, and he doesn't know how Nuan Jin provoked the Queen Mother, "Nuan Jin's temperament is a bit arrogant, this is also the son of the minister, she has always been too spoiled by her, I don't know why this time it made the queen mother angry, the son of the minister and you first make a compensation, and after a while, I will ask her to apologize to you personally." ”
"Princess Yan is the top of the emperor's heart, the mourning family doesn't dare to let her apologize, not to mention that what she wants to apologize to is not to the mourning family, but to our ancestors in Nanchen!"
The emperor thought it was funny and thought that the empress dowager was making a bit of a fuss: "What did Princess Yan do?" It's still on the ancestors? ”
Thinking of what Wanyin said just now, the queen mother was angry, so she told the emperor what Wanyin said one by one.
The emperor was silent from beginning to end, although his face was not good, but there was no abnormal reaction, until the queen mother finished speaking, he still only frowned and said nothing.
"Don't stop talking, do you think that the mourning family is messing with right and wrong?"
"The queen mother misunderstood, but just relying on the words of a palace maid, it is a little too arbitrary."
"Wanyin is the person next to the mourning family, her character is the most clear in the mourning family, not to mention that she has never intersected with the princess, and she is not wronged, why does she want to slander the princess, doesn't she know that the princess is noble, and it is not good for herself to say it?"
The emperor frowned, as if he was also considering the words of the empress dowager.
"Don't be silent, emperor, what are you going to do about this?"
The queen mother is not reluctant, it seems that she can't give up if she doesn't solve it today, although the emperor is reluctant, but there is no way, call someone to pass on the warm brocade.
"Don't be angry with the queen mother first, just ask Nuan Jin to ask clearly."
"Then the emperor can deal with it impartially, if the princess really has such misconduct, the emperor should not blindly indulge her anymore, the people still know the truth that the favorite son is like killing the son, how can the emperor knowingly commit it? What do you want the other princes and princesses to think? How do you ask them? ”
The emperor had a headache when he heard this, but he still patiently agreed: "The queen mother will calm her anger first, if the princess is really like this, the son will punish her severely." ”
"I hope the emperor will match his words with deeds."
"Your Majesty, Princess Yan is here."
