Chapter 31: A Farce
Sure enough, Fang Lanzhi was still worried about yesterday's family banquet, and he was not ready to give up.
So today's farce began to play out.
"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines! The concubine's original intention was just to be closer to the emperor, and it was definitely not what the queen mother said. Fang Lanzhi complained very aggrieved in Weiyang Palace.
Yan Qinghan frowned and looked at the extremely disgusted face in front of him, but he still said patiently: "I know that you have been wronged, but she is my queen mother after all. ”
"The concubine can stand the grievances, but this is the emperor's face! The concubines are just afraid that the emperor will be angry! The emperor has done his best to the queen mother, and the queen mother made the emperor so embarrassed yesterday, and the concubines are really not worth it for the emperor! Fang Lanzhi is sowing discord, she is not unaware of the contradiction between Yan Qinghan and Lu Lan, doing so is tantamount to making the relationship between the two more rigid.
Although Yan Qinghan knew Fang Lanzhi's intentions well, he still coped: "I know your intentions. Subsequently, he rewarded Fang Lanzhi with some rare treasures from the Western Regions as a sign of comfort.
Sure enough, a little compensation made Fang Lanzhi return to his previous appearance again, and he walked out of the Yang Palace quite proudly and arrogantly.
Thinking that she had made a lot of ugliness in front of Mu Sheng yesterday, she was unwilling, and then took the maidservants to Huaqing Palace with the rewards.
When Mu Sheng heard Luoyu's report, he knew that it was impossible for Fang Lanzhi to give up in his palace today, so he simply didn't wait for Fang Lanzhi to enter the palace, so he went straight out of the main hall, and as soon as he left the hall, he met Fang Lanzhi's proud face.
"The concubine has seen the concubine." Mu Sheng bowed and saluted, not wanting Fang Lanzhi to find out that she had the slightest chance of being disrespectful to her.
However, Fang Lanzhi still said very angrily: "Yesterday, you saw that I was ugly, this palace told you, less proud, did you see these treasures behind this palace, they are all rewarded by the emperor in order to compensate for this palace." ”
Fang Lanzhi thought that Mu Sheng would be a little unhappy when she saw these things of hers, but she didn't expect that Fang Lanzhi couldn't see the slightest change on Mu Sheng's face, and she suddenly felt very humiliated.
Some annoyed and angry, he said: "This palace knows that you don't look down on this palace and these things rewarded by the emperor." Fang Lanzhi said as she walked towards Mu Sheng, raised her hand and slapped her.
bowed his head and whispered to Mu Sheng, and only the two of them could hear it clearly: "But this palace tells you that now this palace is a concubine, and you are just a little Zhaoyi, even if you want to take revenge, it depends on whether you have the ability." ”
The hand in Mu Sheng's sleeve clenched into a fist and hit Fang Lanzhi's abdomen, and then Fang Lanzhi's body fell backwards, but Mu Sheng grabbed him, pulled him back, and whispered: "Who do you think you are, just a nominal concubine, the former queen stands in front of you, can you still be so presumptuous?" ”
Fang Lanzhi looked at Mu Sheng incredulously, as if she couldn't believe that she would be so blatant with herself, and endured the pain and broke free and said, "You... Someone, get her up for me. ”
It's just that although Fang Lanzhi said that, everyone hesitated and didn't dare to move forward, and then heard Fang Lanzhi roar: "What are you still doing in a daze, are you dead?" Hurry up and catch her for me. ”
Then he was quietly punched by Mu Sheng, Fang Lanzhi's words could no longer be spoken, and then he heard Mu Sheng whisper and could only use the voices of the two of them; "Do you really think I'm still the queen mother from before? Fang Lanzhi, after so much time, why don't you still have a brain. ”
Then she saw Fang Lanzhi fall to the ground in an instant after losing Mu Sheng's support, and her maid hurriedly went to help: "Guifei Niangniang, what's wrong with you!" ”
Fang Lanzhi, who fell to the ground, fell out and cried all of a sudden, pushing the palace maids who helped her to the ground, and cried very inattentively to her demeanor: "What are you doing just now when you caught that person?" You are going to murder this palace, and I will tell my father that he will kill you all. ”
When Fang Lanzhi said it, she didn't care about the life and death of those maids, and although the maidservants were afraid of her, there were not a few people who wanted her to die.
Mu Sheng saw that Fang Lanzhi had lost her previous demeanor at all, and said with a slight frown: "Your mother is crying so much, it can't be sick!" Why don't you go and take your mother to see the doctor! ”
Everyone looked at Fang Lanzhi crying as if they were about to lose their breath, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly helped Fang Lanzhi up and went back to the palace, and the Imperial Doctor Xuan.
Luo Yu always stood behind Mu Sheng, so Fang Lanzhi's palace maid's invisible small movements, Luo Yu could see them, Luo Yu was very curious about Mu Sheng's actions, but Mu Sheng didn't say it, Luo Yu naturally didn't dare to ask, but Luo Yu felt that her own Zhaoyi Niangniang was different.
Not only will she protect herself, but she is also very good to herself, that day Zhaoyi Niangniang thanked the daughter of Xia Mansion for herself, which already made her very grateful to this Zhaoyi Niangniang, and today she found out that her own Zhaoyi Niangniang actually knows martial arts, this time not only admired, but also felt that her own Niangniang was like a fairy.
Immediately, Mu Sheng's first henchman in the palace appeared without his knowledge, and he came unexpectedly.
This farce naturally reached the ears of the emperor and the queen mother.
It's just that even the old lady didn't check the wound, and there was no way to punish Mu Sheng for exceeding the rules, and Fang Lanzhi could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Mu Sheng's actions made Yan Qinghan sure that she was really not his Du Ruosheng, his queen mother, after all, how could the previous queen mother make those small actions.
This incident not only made Yan Qinghan dispel Mu Sheng's idea that Ruosheng was Ruosheng, but also dispelled the idea of the Empress Dowager Lu Lan.
"It seems that this woman is really not the same Du Ruosheng, but this time she did a good job." Lu Lan had long been displeased with the group of people from the other party's family, thinking that if she climbed to the emperor, she would be able to rise to the sky.
So this incident made Lu Lan have a slight change in his opinion of Mu Sheng, and then he called Mu Sheng to Shoukang Palace that afternoon, and then everyone saw that it was approaching dusk, and Zhaoyi Niangniang took a lot of treasures from Shoukang Palace and went out.
Everyone thought that the Queen Mother let Mu Sheng go to Shoukang Palace only because the Queen Mother didn't like Fang Lanzhi, and because Mu Sheng beat Fang Lanzhi, so the Queen Mother let Mu Sheng go for so long in order to show her attitude.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that in the afternoon, the Queen Mother was not only because of that one thing, but also...
"Concubines, see the Queen Mother!"
Then Mu Sheng heard Lu Lan say with a smile: "Get up quickly!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Then Mu Sheng heard Lu Lan as before, Mu Sheng didn't have to think about it to know what Lu Lan wanted to say next, and sure enough, it was the same as before, and there was no change.
"The mourning family called you here privately, so you don't have to be formal, come over and tell this palace about the things you did?" Lu Lan didn't do anything to cover it up, and directly said that she knew that Mu Sheng had beaten Fang Lanzhi.
Mu Sheng pretended not to understand and looked at Lu Lan with a harmless look.
Lu Lan thought that Mu Sheng was afraid that she would know and blame her, but what she didn't expect was that Mu Sheng just gave her a chance to continue with what she said.
So Lu Lan said in order to give Mu Sheng relief: "That noble concubine of the Fang family should have someone extinguish her arrogance, she has been relying on the protection of the emperor and the family, she is very rampant, and she doesn't even pay attention to the royal face, you just have to say, the mourning family will not punish you." ”
So Mu Sheng seemed a little helpless and said: "The concubine is only because the concubine does not respect the royal face, and she is forced to use some small methods to make the concubine Niangniang no longer say things that damage the royal face, and I hope that the queen mother will forgive her sins." ”
"You are also for the royal face, what is the crime, the mourning family can understand, but that Fang family doesn't know what to do, and he still wronged you in front of the emperor and the mourning family, if it weren't for the mourning family's clear understanding, maybe the emperor would have wronged you. In the final analysis, the emperor is also a fool. ”
Mu Sheng pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you Queen Mother." After speaking, he became more and more kowtowed, Lu Lan helped him weakly, and finally did not stop him.
Mu Sheng also knelt down, after all, Mu Sheng knew that even if Lu Lan wanted to accept her as a fine worker, he would let her know what royal majesty was, and let her know who she should obey.
Seeing Mu Sheng kneeling, the Queen Mother helped Mu Sheng up with satisfaction: "Look at you, you know the etiquette so well, unlike the Fang family, who looks like a splash." ”
Then Lu Lan expressed his thoughts and said: "There is such a person by the emperor's side who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and the mourning family is really sleepless every day!" ”
"The queen mother is too worried, the emperor is shengming, naturally he will not let the concubine fool her."
"There are many disasters and troubles, the mourning family is really not at ease, the emperor must have his own people around him, and the emperor has any dizzy decision in the future to tell the mourning family, otherwise the mourning family is really not at ease! Is Mu Sheng willing to be this person? ”
Finally, the Queen Mother's ultimate purpose was revealed, but she was not alone at this time, she was not only in the same boat as Yan Qinghan, but also had Xiaoyi's hatred on her shoulders, so she had no way to arbitrarily decide and reply.
I could only say with a little embarrassment: "This..."
The Queen Mother saw that Mu Sheng was embarrassed, so she was not in a hurry at this moment, and said: "The mourning family knows that this matter makes you embarrassed, just for the sake of the country's righteousness, and I hope you can think about it carefully. ”
"Thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion, the concubine retired." After speaking, Mu Sheng was ready to retreat.
It's just that before he retreated, he heard Lu Lan say: "Mu Zhaoyi is even in harmony with the mourning family, giving a pair of jade green bracelets, a pair of colored glass, a peony and green leaf smoker...., three pieces of cloth for the Western Regions." ”
More and more rewards made Mu Sheng sneer more in his heart, and thought: "It's still the same as before, so many things, are you afraid that Yan Qinghan won't know that she has been here?" ”
When Mu Sheng took those things back to Huaqing Palace, Luo Yu was stunned when he saw it.
