027 Palm the Princess's mouth
The news of Chu Ci's pregnancy was released from Yunshuiju. It was like giving birth to wings, and it spread to the palace at the fastest speed, and into the mansions of every powerful family in the capital.
However, as fast as the news spreads, changes can come.
But only twelve hours.
The good news that "the princess regent is pregnant" has become "the regent is covered with green clouds, and he does not hesitate to borrow seeds for the sake of face"......
In the Regent's Mansion, the first person to hear the rumors was Concubine Yun.
Immediately flicked his sleeves, smashed a set of tea sets with a blue face, his face was gloomy, and he angrily ordered Mama Liu, who came out of the palace with her, "Go, bring the princess over for me, no matter what method you use!" β
"Yes, Concubine." Mama Liu responded tremblingly, and then bowed and retreated.
Yunshui was in the middle, and Chu Ci didn't know that he had come to a catastrophe.
She was leaning on the couch, boredly flipping through a book of medical skills.
At first glance, when she heard movement outside, she closed the book, sat up straight, and said to Huyue, "What's going on outside?" You go out and have a look. β
Hug Yue answered "yes" and walked outside.
After about half a cup of tea, she came back, bowed down and said, "It's Mama Liu from Hexuan Hall who is arguing with the people of Yunshuiju outside, and wants to take the princess to Hexuan Hall." β
"Why do you have to ask me to go to the Crane Hall for no reason, but can you inquire clearly?" Chu Ci frowned and asked.
Baoyue shook her head, "Mama Liu is strict-mouthed and refuses to say anything specifically." It's just that the attitude is unusually tough. β
Chu Ci's brows frowned even tighter, he was silent for a moment, and then instructed her, "The prince is not here, my body is inconvenient, you go and tell the guards and mother-in-law of Yunshuiju to let the people of the Hexuan Hall break in, and wait for the prince to come back." β
"Yes, the slave can save it." Hug the moon and leave.
Chu Ci looked in the direction she was leaving. The right eyelid is for some reason. Suddenly she jumped up, she raised her hand and touched it, her eyelids stopped jumping, and as soon as her fingers left, her eyelids spasmed violently......
Left Ji and Right Fierce ...... Thinking of these four words, she became inexplicably irritable in her heart.
Outside, Mama Liu worked hard to make a mess, scratched her face, and her hair became a chicken nest and she didn't force her way into Chu Ci's bedroom.
I could only go back to the Crane Election Hall in a sneering manner.
In the Crane Selection Hall, when Concubine Yun saw Mama Liu like this, she became angry, and she slapped the table. His face darkened and he said, "Who did this!" β
Mama Liu waited for an opportunity to complain, and howled with a handful of snot and tears, "Concubine, the old slave is incompetent and has not been able to bring people back to you...... The princess relied on the favor of the prince, and she didn't put you in her eyes at all, she didn't even see the old slave, she didn't ask, and as soon as she heard that it was someone from the Crane Hall, she immediately ordered someone to beat the old slave out...... Concubine, she ostensibly slapped the old slave in the face, but this is actually. She clearly slapped the face of the Crane Xuantang, and it was the face of the concubine......"
Concubine Yun hated Chu Ci in her heart, and now she was even more angry when she was so angry with Mama Liu. She got up angrily, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and she shouted angrily, "Dare to hit the people around this palace, this palace will teach her what rules are today!" Mama Liu, go with the main palace! This palace will give you an explanation today! β
"Yes, Concubine!" Mama Liu agreed, and got up from the ground to follow.
Concubine Yun led the group and walked towards Yunshuiju violently, but it only took a quarter of an hour to arrive.
The guards and mother-in-law of Yunshuiju dared to be ordered to stop Mama Liu, but they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun glanced at those people coldly, straightened her back, and walked towards the inner room.
In the inner room, Chu Ci's right eyelid was still beating, and she was so confused that she couldn't sit still.
It wasn't until Concubine Yun and the others came in that the spasm disappeared.
She raised her head, looked at Concubine Yun, who had a bad look, and stepped forward to salute.
As soon as her head hung down, Concubine Yun raised her hand and slapped her.
The force was fast and ruthless, not to mention Chu Ci, even if he kept staring at and guarding against Concubine Yun's hug moon, he didn't react.
Chu Ci was beaten so much that his eyes were full of stars, his body was crooked, and he almost fell to the ground. At the critical moment, fortunately, Baoyue stepped forward in time and held her up.
"Princess, are you alright?" Baoyue was so nervous that her eyes were red, and her voice was full of heavy crying.
"......" Chu Ci covered his hot cheeks, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear the sound of hugging the moon at all.
A wisp of red snaked snaked down the corners of her mouth, tears rolling in her eyesβfrom modern times to the Yun Dynasty, she has lived for so many years, and she has never been beaten, let alone slapped on her head.
She bit her lip hard, pinched Baoyue's arm tightly, and almost used all her strength to resist not returning the slap.
When the feeling of tinnitus weakened, she let go of Huyue's arm, turned her head, and looked at Concubine Yun coldly, her eyes were full of cold light, word by word, gritted her teeth and said, "Please also ask Concubine to make it clear, what mistake did I make?" You embarrassed me in front of so many subordinates and slapped me in the mouth! β
Concubine Yun sneered when she heard this, "What mistake did you make, you still have the face to ask!" This palace will teach you well today, what are the rules, what is the way of women! β
"Mama Liu, continue to slap the palace for this palace!"
"Yes, Concubine!" A touch of viciousness flashed in Mama Liu's eyes, her eyebrows were raised, and she stepped forward to slap Chu Ci.
Chu Ci was defenseless, so he was slapped by Concubine Yun, and because she was an elder, it was not good to fight back. But Mama Liu, what is she, and dare to be presumptuous in front of her?
The hand hidden in the sleeve flipped slightly, and the three silver needles were pinched by her fingertips. The next moment, a burst of wind struck her face, and she saw the right moment and suddenly raised her hand to block it.
The next moment, a scream almost broke through the roof of Yunshuiju's bedroom.
Mama Liu raised her hand in pain, her expression almost distorted. Her hand became bruised and swollen at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the stinging sensation was ten points stronger for each minute of swelling.
"Concubine, concubine rescue...... Save the old slave! She had a hideous face and shouted at Concubine Yun out of tune.
Concubine Yun was also frightened by the scene in front of her, her shoulders shrunk slightly, and she stared at Mama Liu for a long time before turning her gaze to Chu Ci.
But he had a little more scruples, and when he spoke again, his confidence was also a little lacking, "You...... Why are you so vicious! β
"Am I vicious?" Chu Ci glanced at the silver needles on his fingertips and sneered, "If I am really vicious, it will not be a dog next to you, but you, who will be injured!" β
Concubine Yun didn't expect Chu Ci to have such an imposing side, her arrogance suddenly weakened, and after a while, she spoke again and said, "This palace slapped you, but it's no wonder that this palace is to blame, you can only blame yourself for not keeping women's ways!" β
"I don't keep women's morals, which eye do you see?" Chu Ci asked bluntly.
Concubine Yun snorted, "The whole capital knows that you are pregnant with a wild seed!" β
Chu Ci was stimulated by the word "wild seed", and for a while, his body was full of cold air, and he took a long breath before he said in a deep voice, "You say, the whole capital knows that I am pregnant with a wild seed?!" β
Concubine Yun glanced at her contemptuously, "If you know each other, you will cut yourself off with a white silk, and this palace will reluctantly give you a whole corpse for the sake of you being Jing'er's wife." But if you don't know each other......"
"What if I don't know each other?!" Chu Ci looked straight at Concubine Yun, his face full of mockery.
There was a hint of anger in Concubine Yun's eyes, and she looked at her coldly, "This palace will never allow anyone to defile and confuse the royal bloodline!" β
Chu Ci sneered. Forcing her eyes, he asked, "Then what if the person who defiles and confuses the royal bloodline is the concubine?" β
Her eyes were too cold and sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts. Concubine Yun felt embarrassed for a moment on her face, but soon, she reacted again and said angrily, "You don't want to bite this palace, this palace is not a slutty woman like you!" β
"The concubine doesn't have to be so aggressive, what kind ......of person you are, you know it in your own heart" Chu Ci looked at her coldly, looking unfathomable, as if he had seen through everything.
Concubine Yun looked at her, only to feel more panicked, and even her voice stumbled unconsciously, "You don't have to say something about the clouds and mountains and fog, the palace is sitting upright, and it is bright and open......"
Chu Ci was noncommittal, he really didn't want to see her face again, so he said directly, "I'm tired and want to rest, so I won't send you." With that, he walked towards the bed behind the screen.
Concubine Yun watched her background fade away, clenched her hands, and had a complicated mood, but instead of calling her out, she turned around uneasily and walked out in a panic......
What to do? What to do!
The secret that has been hidden for so many years has still been discovered.
What should she do!
When Meng Jing came back, Chu Ci had already inquired about the rumors outside, and the wounds on his face had been ice-packed, but they were still so swollen that they were still terrifying.
"The mother beat you?" Meng Jing looked at her side face distressedly and asked affirmatively.
Chu Ci smiled coldly, "Otherwise? Out of the concubine, who else dares to do it to me! β
ββ¦β¦ This king will give you an explanation of this matter. Meng Jing pondered for a moment and said word by word.
Chu Ci waved his hand, "I'll talk about this later, can you hear the rumors outside?" β
Hearing this, Meng Jing nodded, his face was full of murder, and he hummed in a cold voice, "This king will not let go of those who spread rumors, and he will not let go of any of them." β
"I have a way here." Chu Ci didn't ask Meng Jing what he was going to do, but told him bluntly that he could handle it.
"What's the method?" Meng Jing asked with a twisted eyebrow.
Chu Ci motioned for him to come over, and then said his method in a low voice.
Meng Jing listened. He glanced at her meaningfully and said, "It's up to you." β
The corners of Chu Ci's lips hooked up a cold arc - her people are so easy to bully? Her ballad is so easy to make?
Those who dare to bully her, dare to make rumors about her, they have to bear her temper!
β¦β¦
A night that is destined to be unquiet passes.
Early the next morning, many powerful people in the capital who woke up from the bed of their concubines found that they couldn't get up!
Ren Xiaofei uses her hands and mouth, no matter how she provokes, she can't be hard to live or die!
To lift or not to lift, this is a major event of passing on the family and extending the heirs!
All the magnates were anxious for a while. I can't even take care of the early dynasty.
The Royal Palace, the Golden Luang Palace.
Emperor Jingming, whose face was blue, looked at the empty Jinluan Palace, and for a while, his face became even darker.
He turned his head, looked at the great eunuch Li Zhong without anger, and said in a cold and angry voice, "This...... What's going on! β
The great eunuch Li Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Early in the morning, Zhenguo Gong, Liang Guogong, and Jiang Cheng...... More than a dozen adults handed over the folds of the acute illness into the palace......"
"Sudden illness?" A touch of unnaturalness flashed on Emperor Jingming's face, and he lowered his voice. Ask, "Do you know what kind of emergency?" β
Li Zhong bent down and approached Emperor Jingming, "The subordinate official of Lord Jiang's mansion revealed vaguely...... It seems that it is not lifted. β
Don't lift!
As soon as these two words came out, Emperor Jingming's face turned pale, and he immediately clamped his legs under the dragon robe.
Li Zhong is a good person, and he immediately noticed the strangeness of his master, and bowed his back even more, and his voice was lower, "It is reported, Lord Xie, Lord Liang." This is also the disease......"
When Emperor Jingming heard this, he instantly understood in his heart.
He, the high-ranking minister of the Manchu Dynasty, including him, the emperor, suddenly stopped collectively raising it!
As for the reason.
He sneered in his heart. turned his head sideways and instructed Li Zhong, "The Yang Yuan of Chuantai Hospital has been sentenced to Qianyuan Palace!" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Your Majesty! Li Zhong agreed, taking into account Emperor Jingming's mood, and personally retreated outside.
Half an hour later, the Qianyuan Palace.
Emperor Jingming glanced at Yang Yuanju coldly, "What do you have?" β
Yang Yuanju knelt on the cold and hard marble floor, shook his head tremblingly, and said. "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister is incompetent, and I can't see what's wrong with the emperor's pulse!"
ββ¦β¦ Let's go down first, and don't spread the word about today! Emperor Jingming's face became even darker, but he had to let him go.
Yang Yuan was sweating profusely, walking on his knees, and cautiously retreated outward.
It wasn't until he retreated outside the hall and stood up with the red pillars that his heart fell back into his stomach, and after a while, he walked tremblingly in the direction of the Tai Hospital......
After a month. The air pressure in the capital is unprecedentedly low.
The magnates knew what the problem was, but none of them had the courage to go to the door of the Regent's palace.
Until there was a minister, after coming out of the Rejuvenation Pavilion, he returned to normal.
Then one to ten, ten to hundred.
On the second day, all the powerful ministers poured into the Rejuvenation Hall wearing power fences.
The shopkeeper of the Rejuvenation Pavilion did not shy away from it, and bluntly said that this prescription was given by the princess regent, and the medicine was also sold for the princess regent.
A pair of 100,000 taels of gold, no two families.
Those powerful ministers who were recruited scolded Chu Ci and Meng Jing in their hearts, but when it was time to pay for it, they still had to endure the pain. Dig out, even if the money is all the furniture that you have been an official for so many years, even if you have to find a good colleague to write an IOU to borrow money...... You have to buy them!
After this turmoil, Chu Ci made a lot of money.
Naturally, those red-mouthed, white-toothed, and unbearable rumors disappeared without a trace.
In the Crane Election Hall.
Concubine Yun looked at Chunxiao, her expression was extremely complicated, "I didn't expect that slut to really have some ability...... Jing'er's illness must have been cured by her! β
Chunxiao, as Concubine Yun's most favored maidservant, also knows a little about the turmoil outside a while ago.
Hearing this, Fu Shen smiled. "What Niangniang said is that the princess's medical skills are really good."
Concubine Yun had a cold face, "No matter how good she is, she is not the person on the tip of the palace." It's only bitter that you, obviously have both good looks and appearance, but you can only stay in this deserted Crane Selection Hall, accompanying this lonely man in this palace......"
Chun Xiao heard Concubine Yun say this, and a little sadness swelled up in her heart. But soon, he covered up the past again, and gently slapped Concubine Yun's back while saying, "Xiao'er never wanted to be a master, Xiao'er just wanted to be by Niangniang's side." β
ββ¦β¦ Good night. It's Hongu who is sorry for you. Concubine Yun choked up, and strengthened her mind to plan for Chunxiao.
Yunshuiju.
Chu Ci glanced at the account book sent by the shopkeeper of the Rejuvenation Pavilion, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it over directly to Baoyue.
Baoyue looked at the small silver box, and was a little afraid to take it, "With so many gold and silver tickets, the princess really wants to hand them over to the slave maid for safekeeping?" β
"What, don't want to?" Chu Ci glanced at her lightly, "Then I'll change someone?" β
Baoyue hurriedly shook her head, "The slave is willing, and the slave must guard it well for the princess." β
Chu Ci smiled, looked at the delicate silver box in her arms, and said, "I will earn more in the future." β
Huyue smiled's eyebrows and eyes crooked, "The slave believes in Niangniang!" β
The master and servant were warm, when there was a sudden rush of noise outside.
Chu Ci frowned subconsciously, gave Baoyue a look, and was about to let her go out to see what was going on.
Outside, the voice of the chief butler of the palace came in first-
"Princess, the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace has summoned you to the palace, and Gonggong De is now waiting in the front hall......"
Chu Ci was stunned, the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace?
Isn't that Meng Jing's mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Ren.
She remembered that when Meng Jing was gossiping with her, she once mentioned with a sneer that the Empress Dowager Ren was a ruthless person who didn't spit out bones and scum.
back then. I don't know how many concubines and heirs of the former emperor died at her hands for no reason. Even Meng Jing, because of her, went to the frontier at a young age, and died more than 100 times, and was not allowed to return for more than ten years.
Now, this Empress Dowager Ren wants to see her.
- Did she come for the piece of meat in her belly too?
Thinking like this, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Princess?" The chief housekeeper of the palace did not wait for her response, and raised his voice again.
"Got it, the slave maid waited for the princess to change her clothes, and she went out soon." Baoyue replied to the housekeeper for her.
Then he helped her to walk to the cage behind the screen, and whispered to comfort her as he walked. "Don't be afraid, the princess is now in power, like the sky, the queen mother just wants to embarrass you have to weigh it...... There will be no conflict with you head-on, the slave and maid will accompany you into the palace, and you will be careful to avoid everything, and you will be able to return safely. β
After the words fell, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Chu Ci was soothed by her soft words, nodded slowly, and his body gradually relaxed.
A quarter of an hour later.
Get dressed. She was wearing a moon-white palace skirt, supported by the moon, and walked out step by step.
Vestibule.
Sure enough, there was a white-faced beard. Eunuchs in their forties were waiting for her.
Seeing her coming, Father-in-law De got up unhurriedly, bowed his hand to her, and said softly, "The slave has seen the princess regent...... The Queen Mother is still waiting in the palace, so please ...... the princess."
Chu Ci retracted his gaze, bowed his head slightly, and then walked towards the outside of the mansion with great grace, and with the support of Huyue, he got into the carriage of Cining Palace.
The carriage was smooth all the way and there were no accidents.
About an hour later, the carriage stopped at the palace gate.
Chu Ci got out of the car and changed to a sedan chair. It staggered for more than two quarters of an hour. The sedan chair only landed.
"Princess, Cining Palace is just ahead." Father-in-law De personally helped her out of the sedan chair, bowed down and stood beside her, and reminded her gently.
Chu Ci nodded, "Please also ask my father-in-law to go in and report it." β
Father-in-law De smiled, "The Queen Mother instructed that the princess is pregnant, so she doesn't have to wait outside, and she will go in directly when she arrives." β
Chu Ci Fu Fu, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion." β
Gonggong De smiled and bowed again, and then led Chu Ci to walk inside......
After walking through the long bluestone road, and passing a shadow wall, and then walking dozens of steps forward, it was only after entering the main hall of Cining Palace.
Xu had calculated the time when she came, and the Empress Dowager Ren was already waiting...... Xu is in a high position, she has been good at maintenance for many years, her age is obviously five or six years older than Concubine Yun, but now she looks much younger than Concubine Yun, she doesn't look like she is in her fifties, but more like she is in her early thirties.
"Meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!" Walking to the center of the hall, she lowered her eyes and respectfully greeted the Empress Dowager Ren.
Empress Dowager Ren said goodbye, and beckoned to her again, "Come, come to the palace." β
Chu Ci hesitated before walking forward.
Empress Dowager Ren looked at her carefully before and after she approached, squinted a pair of gentle crescent moon eyes and praised, "What a lovely person with a symbol, even the palace is very happy to look at it." β
"The Queen Mother praises falsely." Chu Ci stiffened his face and was polite.
Empress Dowager Ren rubbed her hand, the smile in her eyes deepened, but she didn't see the slightest crow's feet, "You are Jing'er's princess, you should follow him to call the queen mother of the palace, calling the queen mother, it is too angry." β
Chu Ci lowered his head and pinched each other with his thumbs folded in his lower abdomen - wailing in his heart. If you can't call it, how can it be broken!
"What, don't want to?" Seeing that she was silent, Empress Dowager Ren asked with a smile.
Chu Ci gritted his teeth and called out "Queen Mother" in a low voice.
When Empress Dowager Ren heard this, she patted the back of her hand with satisfaction, "Good boy." β
When the words fell, his eyes turned, and he looked at the aunt who was serving beside him, "Jianmei, bring over the things prepared by the palace for Ah Ci." β
"Yes, sissy." Aunt Jianmei agreed and stepped back.
After a while, when I came back again. There is an extra brocade box in his hand.
Empress Dowager Ren took the brocade box, and after opening it, there was a colorful nine-winged phoenix hairpin.
She took out the phoenix hairpin, inserted it in Chu Ci's bun, and said with a smile, "This is what Empress Xiaohui rewarded to the palace when she entered the East Palace in this palace, and now in the palace, I will give it to you...... This phoenix hairpin still needs young people to look good. β
Chu Ci felt that this thing was hot and was about to refuse, but Empress Dowager Ren didn't give her a chance to refuse. After handing the empty brocade box to Aunt Jianmei, she asked Concubine Yun again......
Chu Ci had no choice but to swallow the words of refusal, and said in a deep voice, "Lao Niangniang is worried, and the concubine is in excellent health." β
"That's good, speaking of which, since Sister Yun left the palace, I haven't seen her in this palace......" Saying that, Empress Dowager Ren seemed to be unwell, covered her mouth with her hands, and yawned beautifully.
Then, he looked at Chu Ci apologetically and said, "I'm old, and my body is always easy to get tired, so don't you mind accompanying the palace back to the bedroom to take a nap?" β
