Chapter Seventy-Two: Currying Favor with the Queen Mother

Because of the Queen Mother's punishment and my own illness, I was rare to be quiet for a while, after all, it was different from the last time I was sick, this time I was under the instructions of the Queen Mother, and copied Buddhist scriptures behind closed doors, so no one really had the courage to come and disturb me.

The emperor has been here a few times, under the banner of visiting the sick, but I have prevaricated in a few words, and I always thought that I would avoid causing the queen mother's displeasure and I was afraid that he would not be able to get over the reason to deal with the past, and never stayed overnight.

Aunt Cangyun was very displeased, but my reasons were always ready, so she didn't really say anything, but the quiet days still came to an end.

"Little Lord, Your Highness said that you have always been very smart and have always advanced and retreated, so you can keep your family safe and sound, and he has always been very relieved."

After Aunt Cangyun went down in Qiushui, she didn't ask me about my plan as before, but directly told me that Prince Guo had something to convey to me.

But after hearing these words, my hands and feet were cold, because I knew that these words seemed to be just encouragement, but in fact they were naked threats!

Prince Guo is telling me that he has run out of patience and that I had better act on it, or he will not be able to guarantee what the consequences will be for my family.

Although I clearly understand what he means, I am helpless, after all, now people are swordsmen, and I can only give him orders for fish and meat, and let it go.

"Auntie, I understand what His Highness means, you tell him that I always know how to do it, let him rest assured, it will not delay his plan."

No matter how much disgust you have for the other party in your heart, you can only deal with this matter in the hands of the other party.

"Qiushui, let the wind out to the outside world, just say that my body is slowly improving, remember not to be too open, just spread it slowly."

Qiushui knew that I was not going to continue to pretend to be sick anymore, so he nodded and went down to make arrangements, after all, if I said this kind of thing directly to the outside world, the credibility would be reduced a lot.

But if the workers spread the word spontaneously and only saw that I was getting better, so they talked about it privately, then it's a different story.

The reason why such an inconsequential message was set off throughout the palace was to see how many people would act in the face of my improvement.

"Auntie, the day after tomorrow, I will trouble you to accompany me, we are going to send Buddhist scriptures to the Queen Mother, after all, the things arranged by his old man, even if he is sick, we must complete it as soon as possible."

Since you plan to compete for favor, then you can't get too stiff with the Queen Mother, I don't need to say this, as an old man in the palace, she also knows it very well, so after listening to my arrangement, she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

But she didn't know, in fact, I had another idea, this time the night pearl was not found, and the emperor gave me no face because I gave the queen mother, and the punishment for me was just a small punishment and a big commandment, so it was nothing in the eyes of the queen mother.

What's more, how many palace infighting I have avoided during this period of time because of recuperation, how could she not know as a human spirit? At this time, I am afraid that my heart must be blocked with a breath of resentment, and I went to give her Buddhist scriptures, which happened to give her a chance to vent all these grievances.

I didn't take my personal maid with me, but I took her with me, just to let the scene reach the ears of her master behind the scenes through her eyes.

"The concubine came to send Buddhist scriptures to the queen mother, I don't know if it disturbed the mother's rest, and I hope that my father-in-law will pass the cake, and the palace is here, thank my father-in-law."

I am ready, and I will definitely be embarrassed when I come here, so I put my posture very low, because I know that in the Empress Dowager's palace, even if it is just a father-in-law of Tongchuan, it is not something that we little concubines can compare.

Sure enough, when I opened my mouth to speak, Aunt Cangyun handed over the silver with great discernment, but obviously the other party didn't take us seriously, just glanced at us slightly, and then turned her eyes to the side very arrogantly.

"The Queen Mother said, today she wants to devote herself to worshiping the Buddha, praying for the emperor and the people of the country, if the little lord comes, just wait for it, and when the mother has time, she will naturally summon you."

I had already expected this situation, but I didn't react too much, and I responded very respectfully, and knelt aside and waited for the Queen Mother's call.

Although Cangyun was very unwilling in his heart, he also knew that this was the queen mother's dismount, and we had to bear it, so he just made a unbearable look, and after looking at me, he knelt beside me.

I knelt like this for two hours, and by the time the Queen Mother sent someone out to announce our entry, my legs had already lost sensation, and when I got up, I almost fell to the ground again.

"Although the farmer knows that the little master is expensive, but the queen mother is still waiting inside, see that the little master should adjust it well, otherwise the queen mother will be neglected, and the lobster will also be affected."

came out to look at our embarrassed appearance, and the grandmother who came to announce the decree also looked very disdainful, and even openly made a few sarcastic remarks.

Naturally, my heart was very aggrieved, but at this time, I knew that I couldn't have any response at all, otherwise, a non-static hat would be buckled on my head.

So everyone was aggrieved in their hearts, and they could only show a gentle and respectful look, stand up and respectfully follow Mama forward.

"The concubine knows what she should do, thank you Mama for mentioning it, the concubine is ready, let's hurry up and go to the queen mother of the group, please lead the way."

In fact, the other party gave us hahahahahaha, and the dismount was just at the behest of the Queen Mother, so I didn't need to be knowledgeable with the other party at all, and I still spoke very gently.

She probably didn't expect me to be able to endure to such an extent, and after listening to my words, she was slightly stunned for a while, but she still reacted immediately, just snorted coldly and walked in front.

The speed of walking was not the slightest slow, which made it a little difficult for me to keep up with the people who had just gotten up, but fortunately, I was able to barely keep up with the support of Aunt Cangyun.

"The concubine asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, this is by virtue of the Buddhist scriptures copied during self-cultivation a few days ago, although she knows that she is an axe in front of the Queen Mother, but she still can't help but want to ask for a reward."

After entering the temple gate, I knelt down respectfully, and then asked Aunt Cangyun beside me to hand over the Buddhist scripture, but I did not mention that I had written this Buddhist scripture because of punishment.

only said that it was self-cultivation, which showed that I wanted to expose the matter, and secondly, it could be regarded as selling a good job in front of the queen mother, letting her know that I was sincerely attached to her and did not want to go against her.

In the end, she always showed that she was just one of her pets, and she lived in the palace completely by her reward, so that she understood that she was harmless.

"It's as if the royal family has treated you badly on weekdays, throwing a few Buddhist scriptures, it's also worth showing off in front of the mourning family, or so, hurry up and show this girl a seat, so as not to say that the mourning family harshly criticizes the concubine."

Sure enough, after listening to my words, the Queen Mother's mood seemed to be much better, and she was not as gloomy as when I first entered the main hall.

I was even given a seat, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, at least the first hurdle had passed.

Although it didn't make her like me all at once, at least this attitude showed that as long as I didn't make trouble, he didn't have the heart to worry about me.

In fact, if it weren't for Ye Mingzhu's incident, I really wouldn't have been able to get into the eyes of the Queen Mother, after all, I was just a little nobleman, and the Queen Mother didn't take it to heart.

It's just that the previous situation made me have to stand on the opposite side of her, which will cause her dislike and attention, and now I have just recovered from a serious illness, so I came to her for the first time, and put my posture so low, naturally I gave the other party enough face, and it is precisely because of this that she is willing to go down this step.

"Looking at the handwriting on this Buddhist scripture, Lin Guiren has read a lot of books at home on weekdays, so he can write this good hand?"

The Queen Mother roughly flipped through the Buddhist scriptures I handed over, and asked with interest, but looking at the expression and tone on her face, they were two concepts.

So much so that Aunt Cangyun beside me couldn't help but get nervous again, for fear that if I was not careful, I would dislike the Queen Mother again, and then all the sins I suffered today would be in vain.

However, I didn't take this incident seriously, as long as I wanted to make peace with the Queen Mother, there would be more such tests in the future, and in this harem, who is not a trap in a word?

"The queen mother praised it falsely, the concubine was just forced by her parents to be naughty and disobedient when she was trained by the female when she was at home, so she always couldn't memorize it, and the female master had no choice but to punish the concubine to copy, and the words were practiced when she copied more,"

In fact, the Queen Mother's words just now, no matter how I fight, it is not a very good way, if it is simply hard, it will be considered that its heart can be punished, after all, now a woman is virtuous if she is not talented.

And I, a woman who is about to enter the palace, was arranged by my family to read so many books, doesn't it clearly show my different intentions to the world?

But if you are too modest, you will let others say that I am denying the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has praised a lot of things, but I refuse to admit it, then the flattery I did before was really in vain.

So I could only go around in circles and admit that I was not bad, but I also said it in disguise, in fact, I just read a few books of women's training.

"Yes, Miss Noble was a little naughty when she was a child, and she was understandable, after all, she grew up pampered in her mother's house since she was a child, but I didn't expect your mother's way to be so serious."

Sure enough, the Queen Mother smiled after listening to my words, and her tone was not as serious as just now, but more kind and kind at home.

Once again, I relaxed a little, anyway, today's biggest official has already broken through, and the rest is just to maintain feelings.

"When I was young, my concubine always didn't know the height of the sky, and my mother didn't mess with her much at home, and she just wanted to discipline her concubine's temperament."

Anyway, since the question just now has been brought over, naturally I can't talk about the topic again, so I quietly changed the topic, but fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't dwell too much.

After talking for a while, he said that he was old and couldn't stand the fatigue, so he asked me to go back to the palace to rest, and after coming out of the queen mother's palace, I breathed a long sigh of relief, because I knew that after healing, I had broken through an important joint.
