"Huh! How dare the mourners punish you? Empress Dowager Xu glanced at Zhang Lingyang coldly, then stared at Concubine Gao and continued: "You are sick now, if the mourning family punishes you at this moment, I am afraid that someone will be distressed!" ”

"What did the queen mother say?" Zhang Lingyang's face was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "It's all the fault of the son-in-law, please also ask the queen mother to look at the face of the son-in-law and bypass the noble concubine this time!" ”

"Humph! It turns out that you still know it's all your fault! Looking at Zhang Lingyang, Empress Dowager Xu snorted coldly, then turned to look at Concubine Gao and said, "You are sick now, and it is not easy for the mourning family to punish you, otherwise someone will say that my old woman is not close to people." Go back! ”

Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand and sent the noble concubine out.

The noble concubine looked at Zhang Lingyang with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Lingyang raised his head and gave Concubine Gao a look of 'rest assured, I am here, I will keep you fine'.

Concubine Gao recalled that she retreated with the support of the palace maid.

After the noble concubine went out, Empress Dowager Xu looked at Queen Wang, her eyes were full of reproach: "Queen, it's not that the mourning family said you, the emperor's personality is not four or six, and you, as his wife, won't you persuade him well?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang touched his nose, and his eyes were a little evasive.

But the queen hurriedly knelt down and said to the Empress Dowager Xu: "The sons did not take care of Your Majesty, it is all the fault of the sons and daughters, please punish the queen mother!" ”

"When did the mourners say they were going to punish you?" Empress Dowager Xu sighed and said, "The mourning family only hopes that you can persuade the emperor more often, so that he can do less ridiculous things, and the mourning family will be satisfied!" ”

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Xu motioned for Queen Wang to get up.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xu said this, Zhang Lingyang was unwilling and retorted: "Look at what the queen mother said, when did the son ever do something ridiculous? ”

Empress Dowager Xu glanced at Zhang Lingyang coldly, so frightened that Zhang Lingyang didn't dare to look directly, and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Do you want to mourn the family in detail?" Empress Dowager Xu said coldly: "What did you leave the palace for a few months ago, do you still want to mourn your family and say it again?" ”

"Isn't that all in the past?" Zhang Lingyang said in a low voice.

In his heart, Zhang Lingyang complained: "That is a ridiculous thing done by his own son Zhao Chenxi, why impose it on me?" ”

Empress Dowager Xu sneered: "That is indeed before? But haven't you done anything ridiculous now? ”

"Nope!" Zhang Lingyang's head shook like a rattle, and said, "Erchen hasn't done anything ridiculous these days!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Lingyang thought carefully in his heart, except for the matter with the Shen family and the Wei family, he really didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Besides, the affairs of the Shen family and the Wei family are extremely secret, and the Empress Dowager Xu will not know about it.

Empress Dowager Xu snorted coldly at this time and said, "No? The mourning family asks you, is it not ridiculous that you are now ordering someone to hold this Rausch Chef God Competition? ”

"......" Zhang Lingyang was dumbfounded for a while, but he shouted wildly in his heart: "I held the Chef God Contest in order to make money. When the Chef Contest is over, there will be a steady stream of small money in my inner pocket, how can this be considered ridiculous? ”

However, the Queen Mother didn't understand this, not only the Queen Mother didn't understand, but the vast majority of the courtiers didn't understand either, they just thought that this was Zhang Lingyang's absurd behavior.

Empress Dowager Xu said again: "I heard that the mourning family heard that you also got a batch of invitations for the eunuchs to sell out of the palace, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"That's the thing!" This time, Zhang Lingyang admitted very shamefully, "Isn't the reason why Ke Erchen did this to make money?" ”

When he spoke, Zhang Lingyang's eyes were very innocent.

"Make money?" Empress Dowager Xu sneered: "The dignified king of a country actually does such a thing as a peddler and a pawn, the emperor is not ashamed, and the mourning family can't afford to lose this person?" ”

"Okay, you're old, you're noble, can't I admit defeat?" Zhang Lingyang said silently in his heart.

"And!" Empress Dowager Xu continued: "The mourning family heard that you often go to Anguo Mansion, but I don't know what's going on? ”

“……”

"You know that?" Zhang Lingyang shouted wildly in his heart, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake, and said: "Erchen knows his mistakes, and in the future, Erchen will definitely change his past mistakes and not make his mother angry!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Lingyang was soft, Empress Dowager Xu showed a satisfied smile on her face.

On Queen Wang's face, there was a burst of green and white at this time, and her heart was extremely mixed.

Apparently, Queen Wang also heard some rumors.

Only Concubine Wu Xian, looking at the faces of Zhang Lingquan and Empress Dowager Xu, and then at the face of Queen Wang, I don't know why Queen Wang's face suddenly became so exciting.

Seeing Empress Wang's face, Empress Dowager Xu also knew that she had lost her words just now, so she said to Empress Wang and Concubine Wu Xian: "The mourning family has a few words to say to the emperor, you should retreat first and wait until the afternoon to serve!" ”

"The concubine retires!"

"Son's resignation!"

Concubine Wu Xian and Queen Wang blessed their bodies and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Then, Empress Dowager Xu waved away the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and then said: "Emperor, it's not the mourning family who said you, which woman do you fancy can't do, why do you want to take a fancy to the Shen family?" Don't you know that this will make it difficult for the queen to do it? ”

"......" Zhang Lingyang looked at the Empress Dowager Xu in disbelief, thinking to himself what the Empress Dowager meant.

At this time, Empress Dowager Xu continued: "The matter between you and the Shen family and the Wei family has also heard about it. It doesn't have anything to do with Wei's side, but the Shen family is the queen's younger brother and sister, and in the future, it would be better for you and the Shen family to have less contact! ”

"Alas! O iniquity! With a long sigh, Empress Dowager Xu got up and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Son-in-law sends off the queen mother!"

Seeing off the Empress Dowager Xu, Zhang Lingyang was still pondering the words of the Empress Dowager Xu in his heart.

"Drink less Shen in the future!"

"It doesn't matter what Wei's side does!"

"This ...... Does this queen mother mean that except for people like the Shen family who are close to the royal family, I can waste anything outside the palace? Thinking about it, Zhang Lingyang was a little excited in his heart, and kept muttering: "The Queen Mother is really reasonable!" ”

"Does it mean that I will go to visit the Qinglou in the future, and the Queen Mother will not object?"

Immediately, Zhang Lingyang shook his head.

"Visiting the Qinglou, I'm afraid it won't work, the previous Zhao Chenxi was grounded by the Queen Mother because of this matter!"

Thinking that he could go to the outside of the palace casually in the future, Zhang Lingyang's mood was much better.

My head is no longer dizzy, my eyes are no longer dizzy, my legs are not sore, and my whole body is as if I have inexhaustible strength.

"No, now I'm going to leave the palace immediately!" As he spoke, Zhang Lingyang wanted to get up from the bed.

But then he thought of something, Zhang Lingyang lay down helplessly, staring at the ceiling of the roof.

Obviously, Zhang Lingyang was wrong about what Empress Dowager Xu said just now.

The requirements for men in this era are very low, and stealing is not a big fuss.

But this does not mean that the Queen Mother encouraged Zhang Lingyang to do so.

It can only be said that Empress Dowager Xu's thinking is problematic, but this kind of thinking is perfectly normal in the eyes of the noble wives of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
