Chapter 34: The Queen Mother
The indescribable joy and joy in Bo Ya's heart, in the battle with Wu Zixu, he has not had the upper hand like this for a long time, which is really relieved.
Wu Rong was also there, and when she saw her husband's gaze at Zheng Dan, she was hated and angry, rushed over and pulled Zheng Dan's hands, and looked left and right.
Wu Rong's unreasonableness made her husband very unhappy, and scolded: "Rong'er, what are you doing? β
Wu Rong ignored him, just stared at Zheng Dan's hand, and muttered: "How can it not be, how can it be ......?"
Fucha's face sank, and his voice was a little heavier than just now, "Have you made enough trouble?" Let go! β
Wu Rong said stubbornly: "She must have hidden something in her hand, just like that Yayu, it must be like this, don't fall for her husband." β
"Did you find it?"
"I ......" Wu Rong opened his mouth and said unwillingly: "I haven't found it yet." β
"That's no, don't mess around anymore." The husband forcibly brushed her hand away, and then looked at Zheng Dan with a gentle face, "Did you be surprised?" β
Zheng Dan stroked his chest and barely squeezed out a smile, "The slave family is fine." β
Seeing that her husband's attitude towards herself and Zheng Dan was very different, Wu Rong's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she and her husband had known each other for ten years, and she was not as good as a Yue girl who had just met, how could she bear it, and immediately turned around and ran.
"What's wrong with her?" Faced with Zheng Dan's surprise, Fucha Wen said: "Rong'er has always been arrogant, so you don't need to care. Speaking of this, he remembered something, "By the way, this king still doesn't know what your name is?" β
"The slave's surname is Zheng Mingdan."
"Zheng Dan......" Fu Cha repeated it several times, showing a handsome smile, "Okay, this king has written it down." β
Looking at his husband's smile, Zheng Dan's heart couldn't help but skip a few beats, and the red cloud on his face was even worse, this King of Wu ...... It doesn't seem to be as terrible as the rumors, but handsome, gentle and considerate.
The husband didn't know what she was thinking, so he took her soft hands and said gently: "Go, this king will take you back to the palace." β
After they left, Wu Zixu raised his head gloomily and was about to leave, but was stopped by one person, it was Bo Yao, who said proudly: "Let Xiangguo down." β
"Don't rejoice too soon!" Throwing down this sentence, Wu Zixu brushed his sleeves and left, not wanting to see the villain's face again.
After walking not far, I saw Gongsun Li who came in a hurry. Seeing him, Wu Zixu scolded with a scowl in his face: "What did you do, you actually let her escape?" β
Gongsun Li said in surprise: "How did the adults know that she had escaped?" "After escaping from the house, he hurried here, and no matter how he calculated, they could not have rushed ahead of him.
"She has already fascinated the king, can the old man not know?" Wu Zixu said angrily, "How the hell are you doing things, you confessed a few things one after another, and they were all a mess!" β
Gongsun Li ignored his words and shook his head again and again, "It's impossible for her to arrive at Taihu Lake in front of her humble position, it's not right." β
Wu Zixu also heard that something was wrong, suppressed his anger and said, "What the hell is going on? β
Gongsun Li said in detail about the sudden appearance of Dongyun and Fanlou and the rescue of Yiguang, Wu Zixu twisted his eyebrows and said: "That is to say, from the time the incident happened to the present, it has only been a pillar of incense." β
"Yes!" Gongsun Li responded with certainty.
Wu Zixu was silent, from Zheng Dan's appearance to the present, it also happened to be the hour of a pillar of incense, unless she knew how to doppelgΓ€nger, she would never appear here, that is to say...... This Yue Woman is not another Yue Woman.
After figuring out this, Wu Zixu suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "No wonder the old man always feels that it is a little different from the woman he saw the night before, I see." As he spoke, he said: "What a boy, he dares to deceive the king, he is so bold that he deserves death." β
Gongsun Li thought about it and said: "Wait for the humble position to think of a way, let the king know about Dazai's deception and concealment, and speak out for Lord Xiangguo." β
"No." Wu Zixu unexpectedly rejected Gongsun Li's proposal, and said with a solemn face: "Once this matter is broken, even if you and I don't come forward, Bo Yao will also know that it is our hands and feet, and when the time comes, we will definitely tell you about secretly robbing Yue Nu, and both will lose." β
Gongsun Li hesitated: "They have no evidence, and the king should not believe it." β
"It's not that simple." Saying that, Wu Zixu waved his hand and said, "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, let's go, go home first." β
When they went to Xiangguo's mansion, Bo Yao and Wen Chong also saw Yiguang and others who came in a hurry, and they were both happy and annoyed.
Happily, Yiguang returned safely, although he suffered some hardships, but at least his life was unharmed; Annoyed, it took a short time for the person to enter the palace to become Zheng Dan.
Yiguang exclaimed: "My lord is saying that Sister Zheng entered the palace instead of me?" β
"Not bad." Bo Yao bowed his head and said: "I haven't seen you return for a long time, and the king is impatient, so in desperation, I have to be boated on the lake by Zheng Dan for you, fortunately, I have been prepared, and everything is going well." β
Yiguang said worriedly: "My sister is simple and weak, how can she adapt to such a complicated place as the harem." β
"This is also something that can't be done, fortunately, the king is very fond of Zheng Dan, when you can protect her, you don't need to worry too much." Bo Yao's words did not reassure Yiguang, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly said, "I want to enter the palace." β
Bo Yao frowned, and said unhappily: "The king has already decided that Zheng Dan is the Yue girl who rescued her outside Ramie Village that day, if you tell the truth at this moment, it will not be beneficial to you, me and Zheng Dan, don't mess around." β
Wen Chong said on the side: "Dazai-sama is right, if you really want to enter the palace, let's find a way in the future." β
"Dazai misunderstood, Yiguang is not reluctant to be honored, but he is relieved that his sister is alone in the palace, so he wants to enter the palace as a maid to accompany and help." After a pause, she said again: "My sister is a fake identity, in case it doesn't show any traces, I can help Yuanchang so that her identity will not be exposed and Dazai will be affected." β
Hearing this, Bo Yao put his mind at ease, stroked the goat's whiskers and said, "It's not impossible, but it's ......" He looked at Yiguang and said, "I have never seen a maid look more beautiful than a maid." β
Yiguang understood, and immediately picked up some soil from the ground and wiped it on his face, "Is this okay?" β
Yiguang's empathy made Bo Yao very satisfied, this woman was indeed more clever and capable than Zheng Dan, and said with a bow: "Okay, I will arrange for you to enter the palace tomorrow." β
"Thank you Dazai." After thanking them, Yiguang and Wen Chong boarded the carriage and slowly drove in the direction of Wenfu with countless thoughts.
After Wu Rong returned to the palace, she did not return to her glass pavilion, and came all the way to the Baining Palace, where the Queen Mother lived.
The Queen Mother was talking to the palace maid, Wu Rong suddenly rushed in, and she didn't speak, but just threw herself into her arms and kept crying, which made the Queen Mother at a loss, "What's the matter, who bullied you?" β
It's okay that she didn't ask, but when she asked, Wu Rong cried more and more, out of breath, and couldn't persuade her, she cried for half an hour before she gradually stopped.
The Queen Mother stroked Wu Rong's back, which was still twitching, and said pityingly: "Whoever bullied you, tell your grandmother quickly, and grandmother will make the decision for you." β
Hearing this, Wu Rong's tears fell again, and he choked up: "It's still grandmother who loves Rong'er the most." β
"Good boy, don't cry, you're about to break your grandmother's heart." The Queen Mother wiped away the tears on Wu Rong's face, and said lovingly: "Tell your grandmother about your grievances." β
Wu Rong said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Fucha ...... He doesn't want Rong'er anymore. β
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "What is the big deal about the mourning family, it turns out that this is it, you and Cha'er grew up together since childhood, how can you not want you, don't think nonsense all day long." β
"It's true." Wu Rong carefully recounted what happened at the fish watching conference, and when she heard that her husband was so attentive to the Yue girl, the queen and queen gradually became solemn, "Is that really the case?" β
"How dare Rong'er deceive her grandmother, for this matter, my father persuaded her several times, but her husband and brother turned a deaf ear and insisted on holding this fish watching conference." Saying that, Wu Rong said again: "Imperial grandmother, think about it, how can anyone make the koi fish sink to the bottom of the water for no reason, it must be some kind of witchcraft; As long as Rong'er shuddered at the thought of having such a demon girl by her husband's brother's side. β
"Confused." The Queen Mother scolded coldly, and an invisible threat spread from her eyebrows.
Wu Rong sobbed and said: "Rong'er was worried about the safety of her husband's brother, so she kindly reminded her a few words, but she didn't know that she would be scolded by her husband's brother. β
The Queen Mother patted her hand lovingly, "The mourning family knows, don't worry, the mourning family must talk about the errand and let him apologize to you, okay?" β
Wu Rong shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if Rong'er suffers some grievances, I'm afraid that my husband and brother will be in danger, and the Yue Nu is insidious and vicious...... That's good. β
Although Wu Rong did not say the words behind "what if", how could the Queen Mother not understand, and said in a deep voice: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different; This Yue girl must not stay with Cha'er. β
Hearing this, Wu Rong was sure in his heart that the husband was the most filial, and the Queen Mother would definitely be able to drive the Yue girl out when she spoke.
That night, the Queen Mother summoned her husband to the Baining Palace, and after a few words, she said: "The mourning family heard that you accepted a Yue girl as a concubine?" β
Sure enough, it's for this!
The husband said quietly: "Rong'er told you, right?" β
"Rong'er is worried about you, so she will come to tell the mourning family." Saying this, the Queen Mother frowned and said: "You have always done things in a measured manner, why are you so ridiculous in this matter." You don't want to think about it, those Yue people have just been destroyed by you, how can they sincerely submit to it, even if they surrender, it is only the surface, but in fact they have hidden evil intentions. β
The husband listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, he said: "Others may be like what grandmother said, but Zheng Dan will definitely not." β
"Just because she saved you?"
"Yes." The husband said with a bow: "On that day, she knew that her grandson was from Wu Guo, and she was still willing to treat her grandson, which shows that she has a good heart and will never harm others." β
The Queen Mother scoffed at his words, "People's hearts are separated from their bellies, how do you know that she didn't find a chance to start?" and what kind of sinking fish, at a glance, you can know that it is a witchcraft; How can such a demon girl stay with you? Without waiting for her husband's words, she waved her hand and said, "Send it out of the palace early tomorrow morning." β
The husband was almost startled, "Grandmother ......" Before he could continue, the Queen Mother interrupted: "Why, you don't even listen to your grandmother's words?" β
"Grandchildren don't dare." As he spoke, the husband knelt down and said, "My grandson really likes Zheng Dan, and I ask my grandmother to fulfill it." β
The Queen Mother stared at him without saying a word, and after a while, she said bitterly: "It seems that you are really confused by her." Without waiting for her husband's words, her eyes were cold, and she said word by word: "Then I can't keep her!" β
"Wang Shen."
"The minions are here." Hearing the Queen Mother call herself, Wang Shen hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
The Queen Mother raised her chin, and her voice was as cold as the frost of late autumn, "Immediately beat that Yue Nu to death!" β
"Never!" The husband hurriedly stopped, his mind was racing like a wheel, "Everyone in the world knows that Sun Er accepted Zheng Dan as a concubine, and if he didn't do it for a day, he would be beaten to death with a stick, and if it was spread, he would say that Sun Er was cruel and unkind, and the Yue people would be more resistant to the rule of my Wu State, and then Wu and Yue would really never die, and there would be no peace." β
The Queen Mother thought about it, and didn't speak again for a while, seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the husband stepped up and said: "My grandson has been taught by my grandmother and father since I was a child, and I dare not forget it for many years; Whether it is the Shenyu Conference or marrying the Zheng family, the ultimate goal is to comfort the people of Yue, so as to completely return the Yue Kingdom. β
Hearing this, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then put her in the court for the time being, and no one is allowed to let her out without the will of the mourning family." The latter sentence is obviously for the husband.
After Wang Shen left, the Queen Mother motioned for her husband to get up, "The mourning family knows that you are complaining in your heart; However, the mourning family would rather complain about you for the rest of your life than see you follow in your father's footsteps, and the mourning family still dreams of him often. β
Seeing that she remembered her father who died young, her husband comforted: "My grandson will serve my grandmother well for a hundred years, don't worry." β
The Queen Mother beckoned him to come closer, stroked the top of his head like when he was a child, and said with emotion: "The raised son is a hundred years old, and he is ninety-nine years old. β
The husband lay quietly on the lap of the Queen Mother, feeling the warmth of the old man, whose mother died young, and whose father died in battle, and whose grandmother raised their brother.
Two years ago, his father's death hit his grandmother hard, he saw with his own eyes, his grandmother only had one son in her life, and she invested all her efforts in her father, never expecting that she would be folded in that battle that should have been won.
If it weren't for the two brothers who stayed at the couch day and night, begging bitterly, the grandmother would have gone with his father, and for the past two years, he has tried every means to make her happy and happy, which has made the latter gradually raise her eyebrows.
Therefore, he must not disobey his grandmother, but Zheng Dan ......
When the husband returned to the Changde Palace, Zheng Dan was like a bird with nowhere to rely on being driven away by Wang Shen, seeing him coming, Zheng Dan hurriedly ran over and cried: "Wang, did the slave family do something wrong, and should be locked up in the court?" β
She already knew from the palace that the court was a cold palace-like existence, and the concubines who made mistakes would be deposed there, but she had just entered the palace and didn't even say a few words, so why should she be locked up in the court?
