Chapter VII: Interrogation
There is a rockery forest behind the Qiande Palace, which is used to escape the heat in summer, and each rockery is built very elegantly, not only can cleverly block the sun, but also can send the cool breeze to the pavilion in the middle of the rockery forest through the wind tunnel.
I have to sigh, Emperor Lou Hui is a master who can enjoy it, and he has performed it vividly since he was the prince.
The sun is high this time, Rao is rockery forest is not as cool as morning and evening, there is a pair of men and women standing in the forest, the man is wearing a royal blue cloud crane embroidered brocade dress, and the woman is wearing a peach blossom jade spring Luo skirt.
The man was naturally Cen Run, and standing opposite him was the aunt Wanyin, the housekeeper of Cishou Palace.
Wanyin looked up at Cen Run's phoenix eyes and flashed nervousness, although it was as fast as lightning and it was too late to catch it, she still saw it. There was a slight astringency in his heart, Princess Yan was still different from others in his heart, what if it was himself? If she were to do something one day, would he have such a look?
Cen Run returned to his usual state, he was used to being silent, and his phoenix eyes softened when he looked at Wanyin: "What's wrong?" ”
Wanyin suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and said busily: "I don't know if my brother has listened to those minions talking in private recently?" ”
Cen Run was silent, and Wanyin continued: "They said that it was the news that came out of the noble people, and Princess Yan fell in love with Mrs. Rong, so she didn't hesitate to ...... Don't hesitate to compete with the queen......"
In the end, Wanyin was almost inaudible, especially when he saw the softness in Cen Runfeng's eyes dissipating little by little: "Don't mention how ugly those dog minions say, they still say and ......."
"What else did you say?"
Wanyin bit her lip: "It is also said that Princess Yan sneaked to the Taifu Mansion in the middle of the night, and wanted, wanted, wanted, and wanted to ** Rong Taifu, who knew that Rong Taifu did not receive the grace of the beauty, saying that she already had her mother in her heart." ”
Speaking of this, Rao is Cen Run also frowned lightly, people who are used to being elegant on weekdays, occasionally make some such subtle expressions, but it makes people feel vivid, Wanyin is a little distracted, looking at his frowning eyebrows slightly stunned.
Cen Run was a little helpless, what he was most afraid of in the palace was groundless, and one thing was passed on by everyone, which was simply bizarre and outrageous. He knew what was going on inside, Nuan Jin told him, but as for what ** Taifu, he didn't even believe half a word.
Nuan Jin is simple, you call her **, she doesn't know where to start, but this matter can't be investigated, there are too many people involved, especially ......
Cen Run raised his head and looked in the direction of Qiande Palace, if he let the person inside know, it would be another bloody storm.
"When did Princess Yan go to Cishou Palace?"
"It's been an hour, and my brother was in the Qiande Palace just now, and Wanyin was so anxious that he almost broke in. Brother, what can I do about this? Will the Queen Mother be unfavorable to Princess Yan? ”
Cen Run shook his head: "No, she is the princess's imperial grandmother, nothing will happen, it's just that the person who spread the news is not the queen mother." ”
Wanyin was stunned: "Who is that?" ”
Cen Run didn't speak anymore, the twists and turns in this are self-evident, the queen mother knows that it is nothing more than scolding, but if the emperor knows, then he will have to lift the old scars of his old man, and then I don't know how many people will be affected.
He sighed, patted Wanyin on the shoulder, and asked her to go back to Cishou Palace first, now it is important to hide from the emperor first, although I don't know how long I can hide it, I hope it can be a moment more.
Why can't there be a moment of silence in this palace? Cen Run had a headache, dusted off his cuffs, and calmly walked out of the rockery forest.
Cishou Palace is lively at the moment, Nuan Jin is a princess after all, not a lowly minion, so even if the queen mother asks, when she is not sure that she has made a mistake, she doesn't need to kneel to answer.
At this time, the queen mother's face was not good, she was leaning on the beauty couch and closing her eyes to recuperate, while Nuan Jin was sitting in the circle chair opposite, she said hello, and the queen mother had to respond lightly, and after that, her old man was like this.
Nuan Jin is a little like sitting on pins and needles, feeling that the hairs all over her body are going to stand up, the queen mother does not realize that she is a small problem, and Nuan Jin has not studied it too deeply, the imperial grandmother has many children and grandchildren, she is not the person on the tip of her old man's heart, and it is not an uncommon thing.
In front of her, Mama Gui had already communicated with herself, and the imperial grandmother asked her to ask about the matter of Mrs. Rong, and she didn't know how this secret hidden in her heart had reached the ears of the imperial grandmother.
She is not afraid of anything else, and she can't punish herself for thinking about it and not going out of the Wu Palace, but if it's because it's because it's affecting her mother and Mrs. Rong, then it's a big deal.
She was so weak that she sat there with a thin sweat on her forehead, but she didn't dare to wipe it, for fear of revealing traces of weakness and making her restless.
Although the queen mother is there, she is like a mirror in her heart, especially when she sees the abnormality of Nuan Jin, she is even more angry.
She used to look down on her mother, seeing the dawn of the day, the emperor almost gave up the throne for her, she gave her son a green turban, until now she is still angry, fortunately, so many years have passed, the emperor's country is stable, and the original anger slowly faded.
In the past two days, she felt that her eyelids were jumping, but she didn't think about it, the old one just stopped, and the small one began to sprout moths again, who she liked was not good, it turned out to be that Rong Yuan again!
For the sake of Rong Yuan, everyone in the palace is well known, and he is almost going to lose the royal face! What kind of immortal is that Rong Yuan, who attracted their mother and daughter to be planted in his hands!
"Warm brocade." The Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes, and finally opened her mouth, her voice was not very emotional, revealing majesty, "Do you know what the imperial grandmother called you to do?" ”
Nuan Jin was full of excitement, and a heart almost jumped out of his throat: "Nuan Jin doesn't know, but Nuan Jin made the imperial grandmother angry again?" If it makes you angry, won't Nuan Jin pay you first? The imperial grandmother read that Nuan Jin was young, and give Nuan Jin another chance to change! ”
The queen mother snorted coldly and waved away the little palace maid who beat her legs: "It's okay to be young, but now you are in a hurry to marry yourself?" But what is wrong with us all treating you badly? ”
"What is the imperial grandmother saying, the imperial grandmother feels sorry for Nuan Jin, as well as the father and mother, as well as the prince and brother, are all good to Nuan Jin, Nuan Jin wants to stay by your side and serve you for the rest of her life."
The queen mother picked the corners of her lips and smiled, and the scarlet Kodan brushed the cuffs of the phoenix wearing peonies: "Oh? Have you heard about the rumors in the palace recently? ”
"Rumors?" Nuan Jin is ominous, "There has always been no lack of rumors in the harem, even groundless things are not uncommon, Nuan Jin is all focused on schoolwork, I really don't know what rumors there are, but the imperial grandmother has lived in the harem for a long time, and she should also know that most of those rumors can't be heard." ”
What a sharp mouth, and her mother was a virtue back then, thinking that she was almost half killed by her mother Yun Lingge, and now she has a small life, continue to be angry with herself!
"I'm so focused on my schoolwork, I'm afraid I have other plans, right?"
Nuan Jin pretended not to understand, tilted his head and said, "What does the imperial grandmother mean?" ”
"Our grandparents and grandchildren don't play dumb riddles with this today, the emperor's grandmother is old, and she doesn't have those painstaking efforts to deal with your juniors, and today I called you behind your father's back, not for anything else, but to save some face for you. The imperial grandmother asked you, what is the matter with you and that Mrs. Rong? ”
The alarm bell in Nuan Jin's heart is shaking, it's coming! She cautiously raised her eyes and looked at the queen mother, her old man sat steadily, her face was still dignified, this is the head of the harem, dare to act in front of her, it will be like a child.
"Am I with Mrs. Rong? Mrs. Rong teaches well in schoolwork, but her granddaughter is not talented and always makes him angry, and he sues you? ”
The queen mother was originally easy to talk about and discuss, although she didn't want to see the queen, but Nuan Jin and Xuan Ning were still her son's flesh and blood after all, and this time she was called to teach her a few words, and let her change her master in the future.
But this little girl doesn't get in the oil and salt, she has said it all, she dares to stare at this nonsense with big eyes!
The queen mother was stunned, and her palm slammed into the coffee table beside her, and the tea cup vibrated irrepressibly beating, making a crisp sound at the right time, startling a room of maids and servants, together with the warm brocade, all knelt on the ground, and the grandmothers on both sides hurriedly bowed their heads and shouted: "The queen mother is angry!" ”
"Humph! You're so bold that you still dare to talk nonsense! The mourning family talked to you about it, but you don't appreciate it, you have to tell those rumors to the mourning family, do you admit your mistake! ”
Nuan Jin was so shocked that she was sweating, kneeling on the ground and eager to bury her head in the cracks in the ground, how did she know what rumors were going on in the palace, and the left and right were just some things that could not be put on the table, otherwise the queen mother would not be able to be so angry.
"The imperial grandmother was wronged, Nuan Jin really doesn't know what happened to make your old man so angry, isn't it okay for Nuan Jin to be wrong, don't be angry, the phoenix body is important."
"Return the phoenix body! The mourning family must let you die of anger! You are young and don't devote yourself to learning, but always think of some evil ways! A teacher for one day and a father for life! Although you are a princess, don't you understand such a thing? The minions below came up with tricks, and the mourners felt panicked when they heard it! You, you—"
The queen mother's fingertips trembled, pointing at Nuan Jin and wishing to reward her with two ear scrapers: "You are simply in vain!" The four books and five classics are all chanted in the dog's belly! You let the mourning family go down there, how to explain to the emperor! Bad luck at home! There are two things in a row that are not angry! For the sake of a gentleman, do you want to turn against the queen! The royal face is gone! Are you going to be angry with your mourning family and your father! ”
The queen mother was angry and confused when she said this, and she lost her sense of proportion, but her old man's ability is more than this, not only secretly belittled the queen, but also admitted the secrets of the palace all along.
She doesn't want the queen, and she wants her children to see the dirty things she has done!
As soon as the queen mother said this, she was immediately startled by Nuan Jin, she opened her mouth slightly, and stared at the queen mother in disbelief, although she had heard it before, but it was just hearsay, and now even the queen mother admitted it herself, is it ...... Is she really a water-based poplar?
Nuan Jin clenched her fists, the beads of sweat on her forehead dripped down her cheeks and into her collar, she was cold, she stabilized her mind and straightened her neck: "Grandmother Huang, don't misunderstand the queen mother, it's Nuan Jin who is ignorant, Taifu Rong is talented, and it's his granddaughter who is a bastard to admire Taifu Rong, but what does this have to do with the queen mother, the queen mother can be regarded as having no way to teach at most, but isn't it a loss of identity for the imperial grandmother to slander the mother of a country like this in private?" ”
"You-" The queen mother's eyes widened, almost fainting, the emperor did not dare to talk to herself like this in front of her, a little girl of half a year dared to be so presumptuous, if it wasn't for her mother's teaching, how could a good child be so ignorant of etiquette!
"Good! The mourning family kindly persuaded you, but you don't appreciate it! Then let your father judge it! Come! Invite the emperor to the mourning family! Let him see how rebellious his good princess is! ”
"Farewell Imperial Grandmother!" Nuan Jin secretly scolded himself for being too impulsive, if this matter was known to his father, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing that Jin Yu, the steward eunuch of Cishou Palace, had been ordered to run out, Nuan Jin couldn't care about anything else, and flew over.
Jin Yu was startled, and saw Nuan Jin rushing towards him, almost subconsciously raising his hand to push, Nuan Jin was a girl, with a noble status, how could she beat the skills of these minions.
This is not light or heavy, and then the warm brocade is pushed to a stumble, and the foot is crooked and about to fall backwards, just when there is a half-person high Dingtai incense burner behind her, which is full of cigarette smoke.
Everyone exclaimed, and even the queen mother sat up in shock, this warm brocade was unknown, and her body fell into a gentle embrace unexpectedly.
A faint fragrance of lotus lingered on the tip of her nose, lingering on her every strand of thought, as if it only took a moment to soothe all her anxiety.
She slowly turned her head and saw a pair of clear phoenix eyes, looking at herself with a little worry and helplessness.
"Cen Run?"
